Kudos to Mr. Nowak for reminding folks that pets should be maintained under the control of their owners, not allowed to roam, not allowed to kill wildlife or threaten public health and safey.
To the editor:
Kudos to Mr. Nowak for reminding folks that pets should be maintained under the control of their owners, not allowed to roam, not allowed to kill wildlife or threaten public health and safey.
We appreciate Mr. Nowak's advocacy for spay/neuter. It prevents the birth of homeless pets, and reduces or eliminates many of the nuisance behaviors associated with breeding.
Unfortunately, the frightening "study" Mr. Nowak refers to by Loss, Will & Marra has been called into question for being agenda-driven and un-scientific. That same "study" is the one cited in the Washington Post article shared on the Kansas Wildlife Federation blog Mr. Nowak mentions. Other so called "studies" are not much better.
There will always be outdoor cats, some of whom are not good candidates for adoption. They tend to colonize where there is food and shelter. Often, if they are trapped and taken to shelters, they are routinely killed. And other cats move into the habitat to take their place.
The only reasonable approach that has been proven to stabilize and reduce these populations is trap/neuter/return (TNR). TNR gets the cats sterilized and vaccinated, so they are healthier and not breeding. Regular and responsible feeding of managed colonies reduces the cats' need to feed themselves.
Aggressive prosecution of pet abandonment might let people know it's not OK to abandon Fluffy to the outdoors or drive her out to "the country" when they tire of her.
In truth, the greatest threat to wildlife is the human animal and our activities. The National Wildlife Federation agrees – www.nwf.org/ Wildlife/Threats-to-Wildlife.aspx.
Great information about TNR is available at www.alleycat.org. There are also simple tips and ideas for discouraging outdoor cats.
For more information, news, and critical reviews of "studies" relating to outdoor cats, visit www.voxfelina.com.

Dodd frowns on reducing movie violence
Former Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, now CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America, rebuffed the idea of reducing the amount of violence in movies and television Friday, saying that "getting in the business of regulating content is a slippery slope."
At a speech before the National Press Club, he said that instead of stopping the creation of some content, the industry is committed to "providing a choice for people'' regarding the kind of content they want to watch; "giving parents the controls'' they need to effectively control what their children are exposed to; and educating people about the controls that are in place.
"Choice, control, education,'' he said, are the underpinnings of the industry's strategy.
Dodd said that as he told Vice President Joe Biden's task force on reducing gun violence, the industry `"wants to be part of the conversation'' on violence-prevention methods and is open to ideas. He stressed that the movie rating system itself was voluntarily adopted half a century ago and has been modified and enhanced repeatedly to reflect national standards and expectations.
Dodd, who spent six years in the House of Representatives and 30 years as a Democratic U.S. senator from Connecticut, said that after representing Newtown the tragedy "is much more than an abstraction to me.'' He said he still has trouble talking about the massacre without losing his composure and expects to for the rest of his life.
He said that what can be done to address gun violence is a big question, but he added that he believes the biggest single thing that Congress can do is to improve the nation's ability to deal with mental-health issues.
Dodd showed himself to be an indefatigable cheerleader for the industry, giving a spirited account of "why movies matter,'' extolling both the economic power and the cultural value of "the largest, most stimulating canvas'' for creative vision.
"Movies stimulate, provoke, challenge and educate,'' he said. "The best movies elevate and enrich. They dare us to think differently, to walk uncomfortably in another person's shoes.''
China is the fastest-growing movie market in the world, he said, already the second-largest foreign market behind Japan. He added that box-office receipts were up 31 percent in China last year, and that 10 new movie screens are going online there every day.
Dodd mentioned only in passing the bruising defeat the industry suffered last year when the Stop Online Piracy Act was defeated by Internet companies and users who felt that the effort to protect intellectual property online was an attack on free speech.
"The quality of movies and TV shows is outstanding and it's getting better every day,'' Dodd said. "That's why we must protect these products. The Internet needs to work for everyone. We have to find a way to protect both free speech and intellectual property.''

Moody's Mega Math Challenge offers much more than scholarships
Moody's Mega Math Challenge offers much more than scholarships
M3 Challenge winners to present at Mu Alpha Theta National Convention
Philadelphia, PA – Moody's Mega Math Challenge and Mu Alpha Theta have partnered to offer Challenge winners an opportunity to present their solution paper at the 40th Mu Alpha Theta National Convention, July 25-27, 2010, at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center Hotel near Washington, D.C., with expenses paid for by the Challenge.
The first place team in M3 Challenge 2010 will be invited to present its solution paper during a speaker session on Monday, July 26. The students will also have the opportunity to share their experiences in the Challenge with fellow students from across the country.
The Mu Alpha Theta National Convention offers teachers and students an opportunity to participate in math-related events and to interact with others who are interested in recognizing and encouraging students who enjoy and excel in mathematics. Last year nearly, 650 students and teachers were in attendance. "There are social events, speaker sessions, and student led "chalk talks." Students spend four days taking individual and team math tests for fun. Everyone attending has a deep appreciation for mathematics," said Kay Weiss, Executive Director of Mu Alpha Theta.
M3 Challenge Project Director, Michelle Montgomery said, "We look for unique ways to add to the educational value of the M3 Challenge. Opportunities like this can really open students' eyes to the greater world of applied mathematics and demonstrate that mathematics is the foundation for many viable and exciting professions."
The M3 Challenge, which is entirely Internet based and free of entrance and participation fees, challenges teams of students to solve an open-ended, realistic, applied math-modeling problem focused on real-world issues in just 14 hours. The problem is unknown to teams until Challenge weekend (March 6-7, 2010), when they are able to download it and work on their solution.
The competition offers scholarships totaling $100,000. The top six prize-winning teams receive awards ranging from $2,500 to $20,000, which are divided equally among team members and paid directly to the colleges or universities at which the winning students enroll. Honorable Mention winners receive team prizes of $1,000. Panels of Ph.D.-level applied mathematicians serve as judges.
Mu Alpha Theta is the National High School and Two-Year College Mathematics Honor Society with over 75,000 student members in more than 1,500 schools. It is dedicated to inspiring keen interest in mathematics, developing strong scholarship in the subject, and promoting the enjoyment of mathematics among high school and two-year college students. Further information is available at http://www.mualphatheta.org.

Same thing is happening to users of Roku Forums
gmail had sent the message to spam, so it seemed to know what it was.
I do think that somehow they have purchased or infiltrated a database, but I could be mistaken.
I no longer have the spam but it was different than the one posted on the roku forums. hmm ... roku subscribers getting messages mentioning roku and fftoday subscribers getting messages mentioning fftoday.

1950: Longmont Foods opens its turkey processing plant at 150 Main St.
1987: The plant is acquired by Omaha, Neb.-based ConAgra Foods
2002: The Longmont plant has its name changed to ConAgra
2006: ConAgra sells off its refrigerated meat business, which includes the iconic brands Butterball, Armour and Eckrich. Mount Olive, N.C.-based Butterball LLC, a joint venture of Smithfield Foods and Maxwell Farms, buys ConAgra's turkey business, which includes the Longmont plant
2008: Butterball announces it is discontinuing slaughtering operations in Longmont, leading to the loss of 491 jobs at the plant and at nearby turkey farms
2008: Butterball sells off the "Longmont" brand of pre-packaged turkey products produced here to a Mexican company
2010: Maxwell Farms rebuffs Smithfield Foods' offer to buy Maxwell's portion of Butterball LLC. Later that year, Maxwell Farms announces it is partnering with Seaboard Corp. to become joint owners of Butterball
2011: Butterball announces it is closing its Longmont facility by the end of the year
Employees were notified of the impending closing on Wednesday, according to Joe Nalley, chief operating officer for North Carolina-based Butterball LLC.
"This is a very, very difficult decision for us," Nalley said by telephone Wednesday afternoon. "Our employees at the Longmont location are good folks, they've worked hard."
Rising grain and fuel costs are the primary reason for the decision to close the Longmont plant, Nalley said.
"Corn is a primary ingredient of our feed costs, so is soybeans," he said. "Grain represents approximately 70 percent of the costs for us to produce a live turkey, ready to be processed. Grain has essentially doubled just since 2010."
In fact, costs for things such as corn, soybean meal and fat have gone up an average of nearly $65 million per year for the past five years, or $325 million total, the company said.
"We've been looking at this, actually, for the past couple years, because costs have continued to go up," Nalley said.
The Longmont turkey plant dates back to 1951, when it opened as Longmont Foods. The plant and its nearly 13 acres was acquired by ConAgra in 1987 and the plant's name was changed to ConAgra in 2002. In August of 2006, ConAgra announced it was selling off its refrigerated meats business, which included the iconic brands Butterball, Armour and Eckrich.
The turkey portion of that business was acquired by Butterball LLC, which was a joint venture of Smithfield Foods and Maxwell Farms. Last year, Smithfield had made a proposal to buy out Maxwell's minority ownership in Butterball, but instead Maxwell entered into an agreement with Seaboard Corp. to become joint owners of Butterball.
The Longmont plant is one of six Butterball owns in the United States. The closest plant to Longmont is the company's facility in Carthage, Mo. Three more are in Arkansas and the remaining one is in North Carolina.
Rising fuel costs were another reason cited by Nalley in the decision to close Longmont.
This year alone the company's fuel costs — primarily diesel — will have increased $15 million to $20 million over 2010, he said.
No turkeys have been processed at the plant since 2008. That's when Butterball made the decision to switch to providing "value-added" turkey products — a decision which led to the loss of 491 jobs, both at the plant and at surrounding turkey farms.
Since then Butterball, the largest producer of turkey products in the United States, has shipped raw meat into the Longmont plant that is then turned into products such as pre-packaged sliced turkey, turkey hot dogs and ready-to-eat frozen turkey roasts.
The company currently runs three shifts in Longmont: two production shifts and a cleaning shift. Nalley said that he expects that to continue until the plant's closing at the end of the year.
Nalley said workers will receive severance pay, and some will be offered the possibility of relocating within the company, depending on their qualifications and desire. The company also plans on hosting job fairs and assisting outgoing employees with things such as resume-building.
John Cody, president and CEO of the Longmont Area Economic Council, remembers when the turkey plant was the single largest private-sector primary employer in Longmont. That's not been the case for years — Seagate now holds that title — but Cody said Wednesday that the plant closing marks the end of an era, given it is Longmont's oldest remaining primary employer.
"This is just an indication that the economy continues to be soft, and decisions within corporations sometimes benefit us and sometimes they don't," Cody said.

Expert Reviews
2012 Volkswagen CC
The Volkswagen CC is a four-door coupe, which may be a contradiction in terms because coupes are traditionally thought of as having two doors, not four. So the CC is a four-seat sedan with a sleek, low stance. It looks more expensive than it is.
The CC, for Comfort Coupe, was launched as an all-new model for 2009 and carries through 2012 with few changes. The CC will be revised for 2013 with new front and rear styling and more standard equipment.
The interior design and materials are exceptional. The optional two-tone stitched leather bucket seats are downright Italian-like. The cabin feels racy due to the steeply raked windshield and distant dash. It's cozy inside and there isn't as much front legroom as in the Acura TSX, Nissan Maxima or Lexus IS. The rear bucket seats accommodate just two in cozy comfort with decent legroom but limited headroom. Cargo space is small for the class, comparable to that of the Lexus IS.
The Volkswagen CC is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 200 horsepower. We found it impressively powerful and amazingly smooth. It uses front-wheel drive and is available with a choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic Direct Shift Gearbox. The 2012 Volkswagen CC with the 2.0-liter engine gets an EPA-estimated 22/31 mpg City/Highway on Premium fuel with the DSG, 21/31 mpg with the 6-speed manual.
The Volkswagen CC VR6 4Motion features the narrow-angle 3.6-liter V6 rated at 280 horsepower and 17/25 mpg. It comes with all-wheel drive. The 2012 Volkswagen CC VR6 4Motion can accelerate from 0-60 in less than seven seconds, according to Volkswagen. The VR6 4Motion is a pricey package, however.
We found the highway ride smooth and solid, firm but not harsh. It isn't a high-performance car, but it's lighter than the Maxima or Lexus IS. The electromechanical steering makes parking easy. The brakes work very well.
Model LineupVolkswagen CC Sport 6sp ($28,515), with DSG ($29,615); R-Line ($30,460), w DSG ($31,560); Luxury ($31,420), Luxury Plus ($33,865), Luxury Limited ($34,665); VR6 4Motion ($40,390)
Walk Around
The Volkswagen CC looks like an expensive European luxury car, a Mercedes CLS, for example. The sleek roofline seemingly came straight from a hotrod chop shop, lower by a couple of inches to a mere 56 inches tall and swept back as if the car were racing into a 200-mph wind.
The C-pillar is wide, but barely visible because it flows back, not down. The CC is built on the same 106.7-inch wheelbase as the previous-generation Passat, and looks somewhat like a lower, slimmer, and sleeker version of VW's old mid-size sedan. Now that the 2012 Passat has grown to a 110.4-inch wheelbase, and into a more formal look as well, the differences between the two models are even more obvious. The CC is now 2.7 inches shorter, nearly and inch wider, and almost 3 inches lower than Volkswagen's more practical-minded mid-size. Weight difference is a negligible 23 pounds.
The CC is unmistakably Volkswagen from the front, because of the big VW in the grille; but the front end is just as clearly upscale: the wide grill with two horizontal bars; the wraparound headlamps with arrowhead corners; the long, thin amber slivers for turn signals (echoed by amber slits on the mirrors, very cool). The air intake under the grille gives the CC a strong jaw.
The profile says upscale too, but it sure doesn't say Volkswagen. Think of the Beetle, and you see that we've come a long way from utilitarian transportation. The CC looks more upscale than even the full-size, slow-selling Phaeton of 2004-06. Just not as big.
Out of the bold front fender flares, character lines zoom rearward and upward like speed lines, most dramatically the top lines that nearly touch the taillights. The lower line has a chrome strip pasted over it, and it wraps around the rear of the car over the rear bumper. Next you notice the dull finish of the rocker panels, which visually lowers dark-colored CCs even more.
The standard "Phoenix" 17-inch alloy wheels with 10 heavy spokes are fairly good looking, but the top-level "Interlagos" 18-inch rims with 10 thinner spokes, which come on the Lux Limited and VR6 Executive, make the CC look stunning. In between are two different five-spoke, 18-inch designs, each a bit racier than the 10-spokers but every bit as handsome.
The Volkswagen CC seats four. The cabin feels like a luxury racecar from the cockpit. The windshield is steeply raked, the doorsill high and the seat low, although it doesn't have to be that way because height is one of the 12 ways the seat is adjustable.
Visibility out front is good. It's not bad out the rear either, although the headrests don't help. The blind spots from the wide C-pillars are reduced by fixed triangular rear door windows behind the passengers' ears. Which are perilously close to the steeply sloping roofline.
Rear-seat headroom is something that definitely has been compromised by the lower roof. The two seats in the rear are bucket-like, ergonomically designed like the fronts, with wide thigh bolsters, separated by the space taken up by a roll top cup-holding console, as well as a fold-down armrest. Not just cupholders in there, but small triangular bins for poker chips or peanuts or whatever. There's a decent but not sumptuous 37.3 inches of rear legroom.
Each seat is a cozy compartment that makes a passenger feel special, to have his or her own space, like a space ship. It's perfect if you have two kids, separated from fighting by the barrier.
The perforated leather is two-tone and handsomely done, not always the case with daring two-tones. The Cornsilk Beige looked great, with stitched inserts. The four doors are totally stylish, with leather armrests and grab handles and swoopy brushed aluminum or wood trim. (The walnut used previously, VW tells us, has been replaced for 2012 with an unnamed but "sustainable" species.)
The instrument panel feels far away, because it's not very vertical. There's a lot of leather up there, but sure enough there are gauges: with white-lit needles that stand up and fly around when you start the car. They're clean enough to read, and the layout of the center stack is not nearly as complicated as other German carmakers like to make it. New for 2012 is an analog clock above the radio. It's a driver's compartment made for relaxing, with good vents to control the climate.
The trunk is on the smaller end of the class but usable. The CC offers 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space, slightly better than the Lexus IS but less than that offered by the Acura TSX (14 cubic feet) or Nissan Maxima (14.2). Behind the armrest is a pass-through hatch to the trunk for skis and such.
Driving Impressions
The turbocharged 2.0-liter engine shoots the car forward impressively, as quick, smooth and satisfying as just about any V6 in any sedan: The Volkswagen CC can accelerate 0-60 in 7.4 seconds. It's nearly as quick with the 2.0-liter as the VR6, only 0.1 second slower in the quarter-mile.
The 2.0-liter turbo is rated at 200 hp at 5100 rpm and 207 pound-feet of torque at 1700 rpm. The engine features variable valve timing and direct injection, in addition to the turbocharger and intercooler.
Fuel economy for the 2.0-liter engine is EPA-rated at 21/31 City/Highway, which is what we got with more than 50 percent highway driving, including some rapid two-lane transit. Premium fuel is recommended.
Driving the Volkswagen CC around town, up hills, passing on two-lanes, it just doesn't feel like a four-cylinder engine. Top speed is 130 mph, and we didn't go there, but we'll bet it could run near those speeds without stress, on the Autobahn. At 90 mph it's not straining one bit; totally smooth, amazingly smooth for a 2-liter four-cylinder.
The suspension can't earn grades like the engine, however, especially not when it's asked to perform at its sport-tuned description. The overall handling is not particularly crisp, but the turn-in is sharp enough. If all you ask for is a solid and smooth highway ride on a firm suspension that doesn't rock or wallow, no worries. The electromechanical power steering makes maneuvering in parking lots easy.
The Volkswagen CC is a unique car that succeeds. A four-seat, four-door, it feels and looks like a luxury coupe but with a base price under $30,000. The interior materials in the Volkswagen CC are very high quality, especially the leather seats, which would be at home in a Maserati. The overachieving turbocharged 2.0 engine holds its own with the big boys, along with the DSG transmission; it's smooth and strong enough that the expensive VR6 isn't needed. Needing the winter capability of 4Motion all-wheel drive is the best justification for the VR6. The brakes are excellent, the ride firm but smooth.

Mumbai: Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, who has been associated with many horror films in the past, says he always had the ability to scare people ever since he was a child.
"Right from childhood, I used to read a lot about occult and share ghost stories when my friends or cousins used to come home. I always had this ability to scare people since I was a kid, but somehow (I) never got the opportunity to use it," said Bhatt, who is known for horror films including `Raaz`, `1920`, and `Haunted`.
"But then `Raaz` happened and it changed everything and then there was no looking back," he added.
The 43-year-old is currently busy promoting his film `Horror Story`. Releasing Friday, the film is directed by Ayush Raina and features Karan Kundra, Radhika Menon, Nandini Vaid, Sheetal Singh, Nishant Malkani among others.
Talking about the unique selling point of the film, Bhatt says it will be "fear".
"Every film has a unique selling point. This film has fear as its unique selling point. There are no songs, its a story of one night and the film is relentlessly horror. The story that revolves around seven youngsters who challenge each other to spend a night at the infamous hotel in the heart of the city," he said.

Our Success Stories and Testimonials
Allbids provide an outstanding service to charities like Menslink in a number of ways.
Firstly, Allbids helps us reach audiences well beyond the capacity of Menslink. We're a very small charity, but having their online platform enables us to achieve much better results than what's possible with our own resources. At our last auction - which raised over $100,000 for us - we had bidders from all around Australia bid on our items - Allbids managed the payments and collection for us without any issues.
Secondly, Allbids staff were on hand during our Big Night Out to manage the whole process - setting out the displays, helping guests at tables bid for silent auction, managing payments - they couldn't have been more helpful.
Finally, Allbids are always available for the items that we might get to auction from time to time - nothing is too much trouble for them.
Their support for Menslink - and other charities - over the years has been fantastic. They've helped promote our work to their clients, helped us raise far more money from auction items than we could have alone or on other platforms and have been a delight to work with. I could not recommend them more highly and hope to continue the partnership for many years to come

Karinya House
I am writing to extend our sincere appreciation to ALLBids for their recent support of our 2017 Karinya House Annual Mother's Day Gala Dinner, held on 5 May 2016. We especially thank Jo, Louise and the ALLBIDS staff who assisted with the online auction pages for Karinya House. The support also provided by Jo, Louise and the team at the event itself and post the event to finalise the auction was also outstanding and so greatly appreciated.
Karinya House for Mothers and Babies is a community based, not for profit organisation serving the ACT and surrounding regions. In its twentieth year of operation, Karinya provides supported accommodation and outreach services to pregnant and parenting women in crises and their children. In August 2016 Karinya, with specialist funding for construction from the ACT Government, opened its new Home and transitioned to our purpose-built facility, doubling residential capacity, and creating a designated area for specialised outreach and group services. This new facility, whilst significantly enhancing service delivery, has also increased our annual operating budget.
This is the first year we have had the availability of an Online Auction House to support the Gala Dinner. The Gala Dinner is our premier fundraising event, and it is vital to us that the event generates as much financial support as possible. We were unaware prior to be contacting by Louise, that ALLBIDS offered the Online Auction service to Not for Profit Organisations entirely free of any sales commissions or other fees and charges. We were somewhat apprehensive, as is the case with something new and untried at times, but Louise and Jo, at our first meeting were completely assured that the ALLBIDS service would be fantastic and easy. They, and the ALLBIDS processes and outcomes, did not disappoint. And the whole ALLBIDS experience and result far exceeded our expectations!
As a community based organisation, it is important to note, that we generate around half of our operating revenue each year through financial donations and sponsorships from Corporates, Philanthropic Trusts & Foundations, local businesses, individuals and families. In addition we are supported through pro bono professional services as well as in kind material donations.
The support of ALLBIDS through their Charity & Community Auctions service is an outstanding and innovative form of community engagement. ALLBIDS are to be congratulated on providing this wonderful service and supporting community service organisations such as Karinya House. I am pleased to confirm that for Karinya House, the addition of ALLBIDS as part of our Gala Dinner Event and Team (sorry we are claiming your team as part of our team now!) made a significant difference to the fundraising proceeds from the auction component of our Gala Dinner. Proceeds from the Auction were 73% higher than the prior year's Gala Dinner. This is outstanding, and it certainly gives us impetus to source a greater number of donations for next year's Gala Dinner Auctions.
We are very thankful to have ALLBIDS as part of our Karinya family. We do hope this partnership will be one we can rely on for future events. Please extend our thanks to the ALLBIDS Board, Executive and Staff Team for the support provided for the 2017 Gala Dinner. I commend ALLBIDS for their demonstrated professional competence, experience, and dedication, as well as their generosity and example in corporate citizenship and care for some of the most vulnerable women and children in our community.

Car Purchase
I bought my son a ford laser on here and although it was older (1991) I didn't expect much for our $1200 spent ! Especially considering it had 12months rego. I couldn't have had a more pleasant surprise ! It's a pearler and we found out later my folks new the owner and he was a mechanic who lived opposite them and he nurtured it. It had service books up to date and it runs so so well, uses no oil or water and has brand new tyres ! It's a 1.8 ghia too . The paint is great and the interior is as new . Needless to say my son loves it and has already fitted some nice alloy wheels and a kick ass stereo. The car is Worth twice what we paid for it at retail Level ! All bids rock. Thanks !!!! This is a true testimonial by a real customer !!! I'm not the type to do this either BUT was just so impressed.
No hesitation recommending ALLBIDS service
I approached Allbids to assist me to liquidate the plant and equipment owned by one of my clients. The client owned and operated a quarry on the outskirts of Canberra
Following an illness the client needed to completely restructure their business, which resulted in client selling off all the business assets
Due to the size and scale of the operation all the equipment was sold from the existing location. This saved the client valuable time and money by not having to pay removal costs and freight.
Allbids took complete control of the whole operation and used their extensive database to access buyers. The complete process was seamless with Allbids managing all inspections, enquiries, delivery and logistics whilst providing me with a complete audit trail for each asset sold.
I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Allbids. They turned the surplus assets of our client into cash.
Recent car purchase
I bought an excellent Subaru L1800 wagon via Allbids' auction site, and I want to report back that the car was in excellent condition, as described. The photos were accurate and showed what I needed to see as a potential buyer. We were able to inspect the car on location, including starting it and letting it run, and testing the clutch and brakes.
The staff were friendly and helpful. For me, this was a really good experience all around, and I recommend Allbids unreservedly to potential bidders.
Allbids is a brilliant website/service
I would like to say that Allbids is a brilliant website/service. For our family it serves as a valuable resource in locating goods we need to buy, as well as purchasing some great bargains. It has been a fantastic way for me to make some extra cash by selling unwanted goods that we no longer use.
Furnished with items purchased from Allbids
We are building a house and also renovating two existing cottages on a rural property. We have found Allbids to be an excellent source of materials for the renovation job - the cottages will be largely furnished with items purchased from Allbids, and we are using recycled building materials and tools - many of which are also from Allbids.
It will be 12 months before the projects are finished but I will send you photos when complete - might be useful as an example of what can be achieved with the services of Allbids. Thanks again
Spreading the word to every one
I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful job Allbids is doing and that I am still spreading the word to every one I know! Allbids is providing a service that has been needed for a while and it seems to be getting better all the time!
Again Thanks a Million

EASLEY — A Pickens County high school teacher has resigned after being accused of having sex with a student.
Liberty police say 31-year-old John Kilgallen turned himself in Thursday afternoon.
School district officials say the Easley High School science teacher was put on leave Tuesday after a parent reported Kilgallen had sex with a 17-year-old student at the teacher's home in Liberty.
Investigators said the relationship started at the beginning of this school year.
Kilgallen is charged with sexual battery with a student. He was released on bond Thursday and faces up to five years in prison if convicted. It wasn't known if he had an attorney.

Erik Ransom's New Play Is of Biblical Proportion
What's the formula for a show with cult potential? Well, if one follows the formula for success inspired by The Rocky Horror Picture Show, gender conflict, cross-dressing, flamboyant costumes, and inventive musical numbers are all a good place to start. When you fold in a controversial, religion-based story line and in-your-face dialog you have that special formula that-when mixed appropriately-makes for a show worth worshiping: "Coming: A Rock Musical of Biblical Proportions."
Last week I attended such a show. I was invited by actor/writer -and sometimes activist-Reichen Lehmkuhl to join him in Philadelphia to see a friend of his (Erik Ransom - most recently playing "Rodney" in "My Big Gay Italian Wedding" at the St. Luke's Theatre in NYC) in his new play produced by the Traverse Arts Project. I was promised that show was unlike any other musical I'd ever seen on Broadway - and that the trek to Philly was truly worth the investment. I was not disappointed.
"Coming: A Rock Musical of Biblical Proportions," is a darkly comedic look at the biblical Book of Revelation, that follows Josh Crenshaw (played by rising star Adam Hostler) a pious, doe-eyed singer/songwriter from Bethlehem, PA who auditions for "American Icon" in hopes of winning a place on the world-stage to spread his message of love and hope through song.
The virtuous Josh-who is unwittingly the second coming of Christ-is lured into the New York City world of vice, venality and vindication by the show's lead character, Damian Salt-played by triple-hyphenate playwright, actor and lyricist Erik Ransom. The audience voyeuristically follows Josh, as he struggles to prevail against evil-through outrageous song, dance and costume-while the events of the Book of Revelation unfold in the present day context. The consciousness-raising finale is a battle between good and evil - a techno-mêlée that begun on the music charts.
The lead character, Damian Salt, played by Ransom, is the direct descendant of the King and Queen of Sodom & Gomorrah. Sin incarnate, there's an odd, almost perverse, sexiness to Ransom's Damian Salt that is appealing to men and women alike. The show's message-based on the real-life impact religion has on who we love, sexuality, and an innate drive for stardom--is ultimately as moving as it is raucous and cynically funny.
"Coming" is weighed down with self-important messages, but it's also splashily opulent. It strikes a universal chord with its wit and poignant dynamics. Its co-directors Mark Dahl & Bill Egan, capture Ransom's vision of producing a "rock musical of Biblical proportions." The show's costumes-by designer Bobby Fabulous-incorporate an array of textures colors and techno-styles that at times are so "fabulous" that they at times, upstage the performance. The costumes were allegedly put together on a shoe-string budget-but one would never know it.
This is a musical spectacle at its most vibrant, melodic and meaningful and its charm rests not only in its message, but in its stars. The low-budget, tongue-in-cheek performance was far more sagacious and polished that I would have expected, and is sure to emerge as a cult phenomenon.

Lipscomb University men's basketball player Shaun Durant has been invited to represent Great Britain in the World University Games.
Other players on the team include Rasheed Quadre (LaSalle); Torrez Johnson (Marshall); Mark Pratt (Towson); Nick George (Virginia Commonwealth) Olu Babalola (Clemson and Ian Hughes (Oregon).
"We are delighted to have Shaun on the team," said team manager Bob Chappell. "It is an opportunity of a lifetime for him. I would like to acknowledge the cooperation of Lipscomb University, and in particular Jay Walton, in ensuring that Shaun plays on the team. We are very excited about the whole experience."
The World University Games are scheduled for Aug. 10-22 in Izmir, Turkey. The team will leave for Turkey Aug. 7 for training and practice games against international competition.
The Great Britain team will play against Australia, Lithuania, and Lebanon in the pool games. Results against those teams will determine the opponents in the championship rounds. In the 2001 games, Great Britain finished in 12th, but in 1995 and 1997 they finished sixth.
"I think it's great that Shaun has this opportunity," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "He's going to play against some high-level competition and get to see a part of the world that he's never seen. I know he is excited about the trip and he will do a great job representing his country."
Durant, a senior this season, played last season with the Bisons after transferring from Kaskaskia Community College. He averaged 7.6 points, third best for the Bisons, and 5.6 rebounds, second best on the team.

Remembering the Iraq War
March 2003 saw the start of the Iraq War. Ten years later, we know that the war's human costs have included the deaths of at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians, permanent injury to more than 30,000 American servicemen and women, and the deaths of more than 4,000 American soldiers. As the war's anniversary approaches, it is right to remember all the dead, the injured and their families.
The war has also had a financial cost of more than one trillion dollars: $1,000,000,000,000. We should remember this number today as we consider reducing services to vulnerable neighbors like seniors, children and the ill. We should remember it when we talk about cutting investments in education, infrastructure, and (!) military veterans and their families. We should remember these 13 figures when we think about cutting jobs and services from people who work hard for five figures. Will these investments in ourselves become further casualties of the Iraq War? Have they already? Perhaps our remembering might help us make more upbuilding decisions in the future.
The three of us are local pastors who meet for weekly Bible study. God knows, the last thing most people want to hear are the self-righteous pleas of the clergy. But that's exactly the point. Your memories and your conversations are what matter so much. Whatever your personal views may be, we hope that you will take time to reflect on this 10th anniversary of the Iraq War. Remember the dead and the injured, count the costs, and talk with someone about life together in this country that we share.

Another wonderful evening of film
The 12th annual LUNAFEST, a traveling film festival of award winning short films by, for and about women, returned to the area on March 8 at the Brossman Center, bringing nine artistic short films, stories filled with hope, humor and reflection, a fabulous menu of Weavers Way Co-op specialty foods and an invested team from Chestnut Hill Hospital and the Chestnut Hill Women's Center.
We call the LUNAFEST event a fundraiser, but it is so much more. It is an amazing friend-raiser, a coming together of our communities to support the Breast Cancer Fund and St. Catherine Labouré Medical Clinic, a health care facility that provides primary medical care to those without health insurance, regardless of ability to pay. It is a tremendous opportunity for our friends and neighbors to become more familiar with St. Catherine Labouré 's mission of providing caring service.
I am always so touched by the number of people who work together to create this event. St. Catherine Labouré extends a special thank you to Cathy Brzozowski, director for marketing, Chestnut Hill Hospital; Linda Murphy, practice manager, Chestnut Hill Women's Center; Bettina de Caumette, outreach reach coordinator, Weavers Way Co-op; Kevin Boyle, chief chef, Chestnut Hill Hospital, and to our in-kind donors, the Brossman Center, SWIG and Baker Street Bakery. To the many volunteers who seemed always to know what needed to be done and just did it, we are grateful for each and every one of you.
Our appreciation is extended to Dr. John Scanlon, chief medical officer, Chestnut Hill Hospital and member of the St. Catherine board of directors; Dr. Patricia Bailey, medical director, Chestnut Hill Women's Center; Ralph Teti, president, St. Catherine board of directors, for going the extra mile to ensure the success of the event, and to Dr. Ilene Warner-Maron, secretary, St. Catherine, board of directors. for always being ready to offer a helping-hand.
A very personal thank you to Lindsey Samsi and Beth DeSoo, my devoted committee of two. To the community businesses that contributed raffle items, know that you made a great many people very happy.
As the evening ended, it did bring a smile to my face to hear the departing comments of so many of the attendees include the words, "next year".
Again this year, please know what a privilege it is to work with each and every one of you. You and this entire community are all so very special!

Won't join in security effort
Like our neighbors on 200 East Highland, I, too, am unsettled by the two armed robberies on our block in the past couple months.
But I have no intention of installing a home security system, lighting up the night sky like day or demanding more police presence because I believe that as long as we, as a society, continue failing our children by closing those public schools that need help the most and continuing to fail the millions of adults who, despite their best efforts, cannot secure employment to support themselves and their families, we will continue to pay the price of our criminal neglect and shortsightedness.

A remarkable taxi driver
A month ago I arranged for a taxi ride from a friend's home in Glenolden to Riddle Hospital in Media at 5 a.m. I was going for surgery. After riding a few minutes, I realized I had no means of paying for the ride, having left at home all my valuables, per instructions by hospital staff. I informed the driver of this. He phoned the taxi company and tried to persuade them to allow me to ride with an IOU from me to them.
Failing to persuade them, he chose to drive me and pay the charges himself. He gave me his address, but didn't want mine, nor to see my ID. I was deeply moved by his generosity and trust.
"Why are you willing to do this"? I asked him. His answer: "I am a Muslim. I could not not take you to the hospital."
Upon returning home, I mailed a check to him. I learned he is from Morocco.
This story has given me joy and gratitude, and the desire to share it with others, starting with hospital personnel. People have responded with delight equal to mine.

Reminder about a great restaurant
We had a wonderful meal recently at Umbria, at 7131 Germantown Ave. in Mt. Airy. The food was excellent, exquisitely prepared.
It seems it could do with a reminder to Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill restaurant-goers that it is there, as it was not at all busy on a Friday night.

Lovely article on Maxwell Mansion

Photos leading to cat adoptions
Forgotten Cats has really gotten noticed since being in the Local.
We had one cat adopted to a great home, and we thought Sebastian was never going to be adopted. He was a 15-year-old black cat with a bad leg; he needed a special litter box to step in. A woman saw his photo and writeup, didn't care about this issue and loved him on the spot.
Same for Mister Marbles, who was in the Local last week (March 14) and got adopted right away by a lovely couple. Most FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus) cats get looked over by people, so this is giving us hope that's a home for every homeless critter.

text: Crystal Morey: Sandi Calistro Interview By Crystal Morey I met Sandi Calistro in Montreal last year and was struck by how sweet she was and by how amazing her business cards were! I went back to my hotel and pulled up her website that night. For someone so young her portfolio is very strong and it looks like she has really redefined the way artwork is translated onto skin. It has been my experience that many tattooers can't draw on paper, and many artists have a hard time satisfactorily tattooing their illustrations... Sandi not only works well in both mediums, but her work transcends and she brings her trademark ladies to a new level of distinction with each new piece. Suffice it to say, I am a big fan of both Sandi and her work... CM: Let's start with your training... How did you get in the business? Did you do a formal apprenticeship? I remember you telling me about actually drawing and selling flash before you started tattooing... Was it classic flash imagery or did it resemble the artwork you are doing now? Your ladies are so specific and quite signature, I can imagine them floating around as flash... SC: My parents were very supportive as soon as I decided I wanted to pursue tattooing. I started designing flash when I was about 19. Some of it was the more typical type of designs, suns and moons etc... Some of it was reminiscent of what my style is today. I think I ended up designing about 20 sheets of flash. I sold them all around Denver and Boulder when I was visiting my father, who came with me to all the shops (I lived in New Hampshire at the time). Rockstar Tattoo in Boulder was where I ended up apprenticing. I sold them flash and just kept harassing them until they hired me. My mentors name is Matt Victor, I had a two-year apprenticeship with him. I tattooed pig skin, which I purchased at the local butcher and carried it around in a cooler, it was pretty gross. I also tattooed grapefruit, cleaned the shop, made the needles and scrubbed tubes. I did my first tattoo a few months in and was shaking pretty bad, I was so nervous. Luckily that went away... Ha! CM: It sounds like your apprenticeship was a positive experience. So now you co-own a shop and gallery called Kaze correct? Tell me a little about the shop and all the stuff you guys are doing there... SC: William Thidemann and I own Kaze. We have been there for almost three years now. There is a large art gallery when you walk in and the tattoo stations are in the back area. We usually showcase local artists once a month. Occasionally, we will have and artist come in from out-of-state. The gallery is our way of supporting the art community beyond tattooing, kind of bringing it all together. Some of the people who come to these shows get to learn a little about tattooing and vise versa. The best thing about Kaze is that it is unlike any tattoo shop I have worked at, it's a very calming, mellow environment. Clients love that too. CM: Let's talk about your artwork. I love it. You really have a signature style, yet each piece you create is delightfully fresh and brings something new and compelling to the table. The pieces that I have seen, both on paper and skin, are such a brilliant juxtaposition of delicate beauty and understated sadness. They make me smile, and also I want to drink bourbon in the dark all at once. Who influences you artistically? SC: I think my style was initially inspired by Manga and other types of illustrations. I loved the big eyes and big heads, flowing hair and motion. When I became a tattooer I drew inspiration from the people I worked with. My mentor was a graffiti artist and a tattoo artist. His style was exaggerated, bold and colorful. After I left that shop and moved to Denver, I worked with about eight artists all having their own unique style. It was like being in art class. So many people to feed off of and they were all willing to help you grow. I started painting on a regular basis when I was at Twisted Sol as well. The shop manager, Kevin Strawbridge offered to represent me, help get me art shows and manage my art. He has been with me for about five years now and has gotten me to where I am as a painter. Painting has also influenced my tattoo style, they feed off each other. I learn something through tattooing and can apply it to my painting. My favorite painters right now are Joe Sorren, John John Jesse and James Jean. Other than that there are too many to name, everyone I have worked with and been close to over the years, amazing talented people I have met traveling... I think the more somber feel of my paintings developed when I was going through a hard time... Painting and tattooing was my saving grace. I like to think someone could look at them and see the beauty in the sadness. CM: Do many of your clients ask you to tattoo your paintings on them? How do you handle that? SC: A lot of my clients will bring my paintings in as reference, but I usually change it up for the tattoo. CM: Is there anything you are dying to tattoo on someone? Or anything you really don't like to tattoo? SC: I'd like to do a back piece of my choosing. I don't know what it would be, but it would most likely involve a woman, some flowers, maybe some birds... Ha... I think I have lucked out as far as being fulfilled with the subject matter I tattoo. People give me free-reign almost all the time. They give me a vague idea and let me run with it. I haven't tattooed anything I don't like as of recently but when faced with a more challenging tattoo I tend to sweat a bit more... Something like tattoos of perfect circles on someone's stomach would be a nightmare. CM: It's awesome that your clients have so much confidence in you. I think that definitely plays a part in what makes your pieces so striking. You have a discerning eye for embellishment, especially with your ladies, and I think that really only works when you are giving artistic freedom and control. How is your artwork influenced by fashion? SC: Ahhhhh... I love fashion... I would say I am into a mixture of 20's - 50's style fashion with a bit of a twist. Pin-curled hair styles high-waisted lingerie bottoms, collared dresses and lace. Patterns! Sometimes I incorporate a bit of a Victorian flare... I love modern fashion too... Ha! I love designing all the clothes and hair pieces my ladies wear, if I could tap in to the industry I would love to get into fashion design... CM: Very cool. What's the oddest request you've ever gotten from a client? SC: I would have to say as of recently, one of the most interesting and fun tattoos I have done is a bearded transvestite holding a snake. I wish I could send you a photo of the completed version but it's not done, I'll send you the stencil! CM: Yes please! I can't even imagine how you handled that one! Insane! So what does a person need to do to book in with you? Do you have any travel plans coming up or do they need to fly to Colorado? SC: For booking I have a client schedule a 30-minute consultation, which consists of sitting down with the client and discussing their idea, then sketching it. From there we set up an appointment and I have them leave a $100 dollar deposit, which goes towards the price of the tattoo. As far as travel plans for work all I have locked down right now is Montreal. I am hoping to work in New York this summer and possibly Maine. I have a solo art show at Redefine Gallery in Orlando in June! CM: Fun!

Would love to play but Amy Yee is a bit far from me, especially around rush hour. Happy to play if you want to come to Queen Anne!
Hi, where in Queen Anne do you play?
I live near the courts by the firehouse and the courts at Kinnear park, but I'm amenable to to going elsewhere (Rodgers park, etc.) I would love to find a good place to play indoors (if you have any ideas), but not too far from Queen Anne because I try to walk or use my moped as my spouse and I share a car.
Hi Andrew,
As the weather gets warmer/dryer, Im totally up for playing outside and dont mind coming to queen anne. I live near Amy Yee, and I guess its all relative but dont think of QA as far:) Until then, the only indoor option (that Im aware of) is Amy Yee. I play mixed doubles with a group of folks usually on weekends. If one of us gets an indoor court, an email goes out to the group and whoever replies first, plays. Id be happy to add you to the list if you like.
Can I get on that list? Thanks!
sure! send me your email...email@example.com
Hi Jo-Anne,
I just started to get back into tennis again. Maybe we can hit sometime when your free. By the way, I also live close to Amy Yee. I'm usually free in the evenings and on weekends. Send me a email at email@example.com if you are interested. Thanks!

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) – The Department of Justice announced Friday it's giving $150,000 to put police officers in schools in Newtown in the wake of last December's shooting massacre at the town's Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The grant from the department's Bureau of Justice Assistance is intended to fund two positions, such as resource officers.
"Just over nine months after the senseless mass shooting at Sandy Hook, we remain committed to providing every resource we can to ensure that the children of Newtown can feel safe and secure at school and elsewhere," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "And as we hold lost loved ones in our thoughts and prayers, we resolve to continue to support and protect this community _ and to help them heal together."
In August, the Department of Justice authorized spending another $2.5 million in Newtown to help compensate police for overtime, forensic work and security since the shooting. Twenty first-graders and six adults were gunned down in the rampage, one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history. The gunman, who had killed his mother at home before going to the school, killed himself as police closed in.
Police have been present since January at the school Sandy Hook students are using. The town's high school and one of its middle schools also have resource officers.
The district's acting school superintendent, John Reed, declined to comment Friday on the Department of Justice announcement through an assistant, who said the schools had not been notified about the funds.
Newtown established a school security committee last year and has been working with New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice on a security analysis of all its schools.
Reed sent a letter to parents last month informing them of several security improvements, including the installation of security cameras in all schools.
The committee has said its goal is to have the full-time presence of one police officer and at least one trained security officer at each school building during regular school hours and it expects that to occur shortly after winter break.
Also on Friday, the State Bond Commission approved a $3.7 million grant for Newtown to finance the planning, design and site preparation costs for a new Sandy Hook Elementary School.

April is National Cancer Control Month, and May boasts Cancer Research Month as well as the 100th birthday of the American Cancer Society.
Executive Chef Roy Khoo of Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Southeastern Regional Medical Center in Newnan, Ga., has provided a few recipes to promote healthy living. The dishes not only promote a healthy lifestyle but could also help those already suffering from different forms of the disease.
The first recipe stars wild salmon at the center of the plate. Salmon is a good source of vitamin D, B6, selenium and the popular omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
These nutrients, especially the "omegas," have been associated with reducing the risk of at least a dozen cancers. Wild salmon contains less mercury than other fish. One study shows one protein found in salmon might inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells.
For those already suffering from cancer, some of wild salmon's compounds have been shown to increase the success of treatments such as chemotherapy. It might be possible to combat cancerous cells by eating wild salmon at least once a week.
Farm-raised salmon contain less of the beneficial fatty acids and other healthful compounds. Farmed salmon are fed less desirable food than that of their wild cousins. Farmed salmon are also treated with antibiotics, pesticides and hormones to increase yields in cramped growing conditions.
Additionally, fish absorb contaminants from the waters where they live and feed. Compared to farmraised salmon, wild salmon have the least amount of these contaminants. It is even advised that pregnant and nursing mothers should avoid eating farm-raised salmon because of the risk of passing along toxins.
Butternut squash and curry powder are featured in the second recipe, both of which are part of a cancer risk-reducing diet.
Beyond looking pretty, colorful foods often indicate health benefits. The rich orange color of butternut squash flesh contains protective phytochemicals called carotenoids yhat enhance immunity and fight free radicals that cause cancers, especially lung and esophageal cancers. Nutrient-dense winter squash contains an incredible amount of vitamin A, as well as vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, folate and even omega-3 fatty acids. Beta-carotene is known for promoting eye health. Butternut and other winter squash can be baked, steamed, mashed, sauteed or even cooked in the microwave. Eaten plain or mixed with other vegetables, butternut squash is a low-fat, highnutrient food that is as versatile as it is delicious.
Curry powder is a spice blend used primarily in Indian cuisine and can be composed of dozens of spices, depending on the maker of the blend. Turmeric, one of the key ingredients in curry powder, has been shown to improve cognitive function and act as an antioxidant and anti-inflamatant. Compounds found in other ingredients in curry powder, such as curcumin, prevent the oxidation of lipids that lead to many cancers.
Add curry powder to soups, vinaigrettes and roasted meats and vegetables. Curry powders can be purchased at any grocery store, specialty market or ordered online. Different blends have different ingredients and flavor profiles, so find the blend that suits your tastes.

VENICE, CA — Brockway Moran & Partners Inc., the Florida-based private equity firm that currently owns Gold's Gym, will finalize the sale of the company to TRT Holdings this month. TRT Holdings is a privately owned, diversified holding company with assets that include Omni Hotels.
Competition for the 40-year-old Gold's Gym was fierce with about 10 investment groups active in the process and four vying for the company during the last round, said Gene LaMott, CEO of Gold's Gym International.
"Those are good indicators for the industry that people from the investment community are looking to invest in the industry," said LaMott. TRT had been looking at the sector for a couple of years prior to the opportunity with Gold's, said LaMott.
Terrell Philen, CFO of TRT Holdings, said that investors see the industry as more attractive now for several reasons. The high level of interest and competitiveness with deals related to Bally Total Fitness and Town Sports International prior to the Gold's Gym sale have helped spur interest. In addition, the number of health clubs and memberships has shown steady growth in spite of the economic cycles. Also, the general press has gotten the word out about health and obesity issues, which indicate that the industry will continue to see the steady growth of the past, he said.
LaMott said that the Gold's Gym sale is a good example of how the fitness industry is maturing and how investors are waking up to that, which will result in more dollars coming into the sector.
"The industry itself is going to benefit from this process because it got a lot of people excited about this industry," said LaMott. "They may be excited to look at other properties."
Still, TRT's interest right now is in Gold's Gym.
"Being the owner of Omni, we are attuned to the value of a good brand name," said Philen. "Gold's had that. The ability to expand, grow the brand was attractive to us."
TRT Holdings plans to continue with Brockway Moran's move to more corporate facilities, but that doesn't mean franchisees are out. Gold's Gym International expanded its corporate-owned gym footprint since Brockway Moran purchased it in 1999. The company currently owns 37 facilities and has about 513 franchised locations around the world with nearly 2.5 million members worldwide. Philen said that the company would look to open and acquire more corporate-owned facilities in the United States and continue with franchise expansion in the United States and overseas.
Philen doesn't expect management changes at Gold's Gym International.
"The best way to characterize it is to stay the course," Philen said.
LaMott also doesn't expect drastic changes to the company.
"The plan that we established over the last five years with Brockway is the same plan we are going to continue," LaMott said. "We'll just have a new partner with a different capital structure to allow more franchising, more branding, more advertising and marketing."
The close of the sale will occur one week after Gold's Gym International's convention in Las Vegas July 12-15. At the convention, the company was expected to make an official announcement to the franchisees, corporate staff and manufacturers at the show, as well as introduce members of TRT Holdings to the crowd, said LaMott.

It just so happens that I live VERY VERY close to Sydney's Little India (aka Harris Park). A heady and mouthwatering aroma of exotic spices envelopes this suburb - you smell the delicious food long before your stomach gets anywhere near it.
The Boy - who was slumming it down the Vego end of the table - decided on a Non-Vegetarian Thali ($18.00). Thali plates are AMAZING - perfect for the indecisive person who wants to try loads of different things and they are WAY more filling than the individual little dishes make them out to be. The plate comes with a mix of vegetable curries, non-veg curries, roti, green salad, mixed pickles, raita and pappadums. And, you even get dessert!!! All on ONE PLATE!!!
After dinner we wandered across the road to Taj for some amazing Indian Sweets...a good night was had by all I think - judging by the amount of groaning and belly rubbing that went on after we'd finished dessert.
