It was an ugly game. The Eagles sat most of their key starters. And the defense still struggled to stop Kevin Kolb and his cast of backups. Stephen McGee was terrible until the Cowboys needed him the most. But in the end...a win is a win and I'll take it. How can you complain about a victory after the way this season has gone?
Demarcus Ware was clearly too good for the Eagles to block. Of course he was going against backups, but the three sacks he got in the game count just as much as the rest he got this season. He is the best player on what was a horrible defense. But at least the Cowboys know they have the best pass rusher in the NFL to rebuild the defense around.
Jason Witten came up with the big plays on the winning drive after being shut out up to that point. He ended the season with 94 catches and over 1000 yards. Great numbers under any circumstances but even better when you take into account that he played with three different quarterbacks this season.
Stephen McGee was awful. But you have to give him credit for making the big play in the big moment for the second week in a row. McGee was terrible against the blitz for the majority of the game but he at least scrambled well and didn't turn the ball over. And making the passes in the last two minutes count for a lot when you try to decide if he is worth keeping around long term.
Jason Garrett finished the season 5-3 as the interim head coach. And many reports have stated that he will be named the permanent head coach some time this week. He has earned the job with the way he pulled the team together after their 1-7 start. He didn't completely transform the team but he did start the process of getting back to fundamental football and the team is learning how to win again. Hopefully this win will help propel the Cowboys into the offseason.
I think it is pretty obvious that the defense needs a major overhaul. The offensive line will have to be addressed. David Buehler is going to be forced to win the kicking job this offseason now that Kris Brown is on the roster. Jerry Jones, the rest of the front office and the coaches will have their work cut out for them to get this team back to the playoffs next season.
But Jason Garrett has proven to us that there is still enough talent on this roster to win. With a second and then even a third string quarterback the Cowboys have battled and won a lot of games people picked them to lose during the second half of the season. With some roster improvements this offseason we should be expecting to see the Cowboys in the playoffs next year.

Thank goodness that is over. Permanently taking this season out of memory. Really hope we do well in the draft and hope we make some good trades.
One commentor on another site brought up a good point. Get rid of ratliff for a trade for a couple of starters on another D. Ratliff is awesome but if they switch up the defence he won't be as good as he could be with another 4-3 defense.
Just thoughts let me know what you think.

No way do you trade Rat. He is one of the team leaders. That is hard to replace on a somewhat gutless team. Bring in some guys around him and watch how much better he gets. Brent is coming on to fill that spot in the middle which might give Rat some reps on the outside.ReplyDelete

Wine Stories
"My name is Beth, and I attended the Ladies Night Out last Friday night at the GrapeSeed Spa. My girlfriends and I had such a wonderful time, I thought I would share a few photos! Your staff was professional, friendly and fun! I have been a wine club member, but had never taken advantage of the spa amenities (I know hard to believe!) Well, I booked my day of pampering that night as did a friend of mine! I also called the next day and booked my sister in law! We then had a great time at the Vineyard Rose. Thanks again, for providing such a fun night out!"
"I just wanted you to know that my husband and I had a great time at the Wine Club Appreciation Party. As always everything was beautiful and perfectly decorated. The food was delicious. The wine couldn't have been better. I was glad to be part of the evening. I was honored to be considered in your [Lady D] competition and chosen as a top runner. Thank You for your many compliments. Lady D is stunning. She is perfect. I look forward to participating in future events with South Coast Winery. I am dying to attend one of your culinary events. I'm hoping to make time for the next one. Maybe I'll get an opportunity to visit with you again."
"We just wanted you to know our stay at South Coast was BEYOND WONDERFUL! It was so relaxing, something we both needed. I even enjoyed the spa this time, had a great manicure & pedicure & will make sure I make more time out for Eva on a Wed so I can enjoy the wonderful, mid-week specials they run. And the week before, remember when we had come up for the wine club members appreciation tasting? Well we met a new wine club member who was so interesting & she & her group of successful lady friends are always looking for new places to go & spa retreats to enjoy the weekends & she was not aware of what South Coast had to offer. Well let me tell you I filled her in on every detail & have emailed her since then about my wonderful treatment at the GrapeSeed Spa. I have even emailed her about the cooking class I am coming to on 4/4. She lives in Temecula so hopefully she & some of her girlfriends will be interested. Have a great week & see you at the cooking class."
"We call South Coast our 'attitude adjuster'! We love it here. We're wine club members but have only stayed one other time. We were here for the New Years Eve Gala but unfortunately had to leave by 8:00 the next morning for the USC Rose Bowl Game (husband's choice!). So he promised me we would return and take full advantage another time. The view from our private patio is unbelievable. Who needs to go to Tuscany?! Thanks for the best getaway!"

When the Edina City Council gets a handwritten thank you note, it's likely to be from a grateful senior citizen about a speedy city ambulance and the kindness of firefighter paramedics who responded to a 911 call.
Edina is among the metro cities, including St. Paul and Burnsville, that run their own ambulance service through their fire departments.
For residents, it's a city amenity that ranks right up there with parks and prompt snowplowing.
But in an ever-more-complicated medical environment, city ambulance services face challenges. Equipment is expensive. Trained personnel must be available in an instant. And though ambulances are busier than ever responding to calls from senior citizens in aging suburbs, each year cities collect a smaller percentage of what they bill for ambulance runs.
Some cities, such as partners Apple Valley, Lakeville and Farmington, have decided it's easier to guarantee quality service by hiring an outside provider.
Cities such as Edina, Burnsville and St. Paul, meanwhile, say that they are committed to their ambulance services and that they are proud of their speedy response times.
"This is something that our residents have grown to appreciate and expect," said Edina City Manager Scott Neal. "They like it when the city shows up to help at what is sometimes their lowest moment."
Burnsville Fire Chief B.J. Jungmann echoed that.
"This is one of those public service things where residents get excellent care and excellent response," Jungmann said. "We get people who stop by our stations, send notes and call. They are very thankful for the service."
In St. Paul, where city officials say the survival rate for cardiac arrest patients is two to three times higher than average, the ambulance service also is efficient, said Steve Zaccard, the city's fire marshal.
"Firefighters are being used for ambulance service, as well; it's dual staffing," Zaccard said.
Since 1980, Minnesota has been divided into ambulance service areas, with one license holder per area.
Among 321 ambulance services, 47 are linked to city fire departments and another 110 are public services that likely are connected to cities, according to the Minnesota Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board.
Covering costs tricky
Anyone who runs an ambulance service knows they are likely to collect only part of what they charge for an emergency trip, said Buck McAlpin, who works with North Memorial Health Care and is lead lobbyist for the ambulance industry in Minnesota. Ambulance services that charge $1,400 for an emergency trip usually are reimbursed $425 or $450 by Medicare or Medicaid, he said.
"If you're a community-based system, city councils have to look at this as a service they want to offer," he said. "I would say the majority of large fire [department]-based systems do not cover their costs, so they offset with tax dollars."
Some smaller cities have dropped their ambulance service and hired larger organizations such as hospitals or health companies to provide the service, McAlpin said.
"Most all of these shifted from city-based [emergency medical service] to large hospital-based [services] because of economy of scale," he said. "We can buy materials cheaper when we buy in bulk. Buying 12 ambulances is cheaper than buying one."
In the case of partner cities Apple Valley, Lakeville and Farmington, the three agreed to drop their ambulance service in 2008 to contract with Allina Health and to improve service, said Steve Mielke, Lakeville city administrator.
"We were concerned about quality of care," Mielke said. "For smaller agencies, it can be difficult just to maintain the latest and most up-to-date capabilities and training. … We're very pleased. They've brought a level of expertise we didn't have."
Hiring Allina eased the burden on city employees who were responsible for running the ambulance service. The city consortium still holds the ambulance license, which Mielke said allows it to change providers if service isn't good enough.
In 2008, the cities estimated that hiring Allina collectively would save them $61,000 each year.
Firefighters as paramedics
In cities where ambulance service is part of fire department duties, the cost of emergency services is embedded in the overall fire department budget.
As fire prevention has improved and fire calls have declined for many departments, the primary job of firefighters is now responding to medical calls.
New firefighters in Burnsville and Edina must also be certified paramedics. In Burnsville and St. Paul, 70 to 75 percent of emergency calls are medical. In Edina, it's more than 80 percent.
"Some people would say we are an ambulance service that provides fire service," said Darrell Todd, Edina's interim fire chief. "I see us as an all-hazard service."
While the number of medical calls in Edina has grown by 35 percent since 2000, the collection rate on ambulance bills has dropped from 84 percent in 2002 to 42 percent in 2012. Burnsville's collection rate dropped from 67 percent in 2003 to 49 percent in 2012. Most of the gap in payment is due to changes in Medicare reimbursement.
The cities have coped by raising charges for ambulance runs. So far, that and the increasing number of emergency trips have combined to raise revenue from ambulance operations: Edina's ambulance revenue increased from $1.3 million in 2002 to more than $1.8 million in 2012, while Burnsville collected $1.1 million in 2003 and $1.9 million in 2012. Both cities put that money in their general funds, as does St. Paul.
Edina's Todd said it's the service, not the money, that matters.
"While it's great that we can offset our costs, this is the level of service that the City Council has decided it wants to provide," Todd said. "The city's function isn't necessarily to make money. We're here to provide services to people and business owners."
St. Paul has 12 ambulances that run out of 15 fire stations, Burnsville four ambulances at two stations and Edina three ambulances at two stations.
In Edina, most police are trained as emergency medical technicians, and they carry oxygen and external defibrillators in their cars. Because they are already out in the community, they often are the first responders to a medical call.
John Wallin, Edina's finance director, said he thinks it would be hard for an outside provider to improve on the service the city already offers.
"They probably would not keep two ambulance sites in Edina, so response times would be different," Wallin said. "And minutes can make a difference."
Navigating health changes
Neal, the Edina city manager, said the city is watching ambulance reimbursement trends and wondering about how the Affordable Care Act might affect ambulance use.
He said the city is in discussions with Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina about possibly expanding paramedics' duties by having some act as "community paramedics." In this role, they would check on people after they've been discharged from the hospital and help them manage their health at home.
"I'd say there's a strong possibility the city might be involved in that kind of activity," Neal said.
He said it's all part of navigating a changing health landscape.
"We are concerned because our costs don't drop," Neal said. "We are not going to refuse assistance. You help first, and get paid second."

I have a DELL studio XPS 13 (aka 1340) as of 12.04 most things run smoothly out of the box, but I have some power draining and warmness issues (if not to be called terrible heat issues)
The system came with a NVIDIA GeForce 9500M (which has Hybrid SLI) and it shows up in "lspci" as these 2 cards
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 9200M GS] (rev a1)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C79 [GeForce 9400M G] (rev b1)
I had to install nvidia-current over noveau driver 'cause noveau does freeze the system after suspension. By installing nvidia-current and running nvidia-xconfig the resume process after suspension is fixed.
By the way both with nvidia-current and noveau the system drains a lot of battery and heats up a lot. I suppose this is because the discrete GPU is always on. I don't really need 3D graphics on this system, if not the minimal to run unity and compiz for window management.
So my question is: How do I disable, using nvidia-current, the discrete GPU 9200M and use only the integrated one 9400M?
- In BIOS I have no option to disable discrete GPU
- This I think is not applicable because of the suspension-freeze issue (with noveau): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
- I've found this but I don't know which --sli option I should choose
to fit my needs:
- My system has not optimus or cuda, but anyone can tell me if
bumblebee can work for me?

When I update DS, I usually guess which fixes/improvements are most important. However, I'd like to open a thread dedicated to harsh criticism. If you are willing, I'd appreciate it if you could come here every now and then to complain, suggest, rip DS (or me) to shreds, and/or crush my hopes and dreams. Don't be afraid to hurt my feelings, I can take it!
Topics I am most interested in at the moment (but feel free to criticize anything you like):
- What is the most annoying part of the site for you?
- What is the most awesome thing about the site that I should never change?
- If I announced a new feature today, what feature would you hope for the most?
- Which kinds content would you be most interested in me creating (tutorials, articles, models, book reviews, some other amazing idea)?
Consider this your chance to change my priorities for DS and maybe even alter the direction of the site. Thanks everyone!

Me and a friend happen to be in Tanzania in July, and would love to get up on Kilimanjaro, via the Marangu route (don´t have time for any of the more scenic ones). However, reading up on it, there seems to be 3 major problems:
1. It seems like it´s ridiculously expensive (best quote I got was $50 for transport , 120 for guiding, 520 for park fees, and 125 for additional expenses= $815 per person )
2. There is a requirement for a minimum of 5 days spent on the mountain. I will already be acclimatized from Asia and Mt Kenya, so ideally, I wanted to go up and down in 2 days, to make it more of a physical challenge.
3. Having 2 guides for a group of 2 climbers seems to be mandatory (140 dollars per guide for 5 days). Ideally I would have liked to have no guide at all.
Does anyone know if it´s possible to work your way around any of this? Any exceptions to the rules? $815 and 5 days is much more than I´m willing to spend on a trek.

La Plata County Commissioner Bobby Lieb outlined a plan for the county that emphasizes fiscal responsibility, regional cooperation and simplification of the land-use process in the coming year.
In his state of the county address Tuesday, Lieb said the countys conservative budget practices during the last several years enabled it to maintain a healthy fund balance that will help support several large capital projects in 2013.
The county plans to begin work on a new carpool parking lot at County Road 225A and U.S. Highway 160, an area pinpointed through several traffic studies through the years, said Jim Davis, director of public works. The $120,000 lot will accommodate about 23 parking spaces and is primarily funded through a $96,000 grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Lieb also listed county plans to expand the Durango Gun Clubs shooting range to accommodate use by local law enforcement. The countys previous shooting range was eliminated when the county expanded its detention facility, Davis said.
Capital expenditures will total $13.3 million in 2013, Lieb said.
While the countys finances look stable for next year, darker clouds are on the horizon, Lieb said. The valuation of natural-gas production in the county is expected to drop dramatically in 2013, which will have drastic effects on the countys property-tax revenues in 2014.
In a December letter sent to commissioners, La Plata County Assessor Craig Larson warned that natural-gas valuation could drop 50 percent next year.
We must remain frugal, Lieb said in his address.
Lieb also celebrated the countys collaboration with the city of Durango and residents on a development plan for the La Posta area. He called the process a model for future collaborations.
Intergovernmental and regional cooperation are high priorities for the county, he said.
Commissioners will continue work started last year to amend the countys land-use code with the goal of simplifying the permitting process, he said. They will also take steps to implement a facilities master plan that outlines ways for the county to satisfy its facility needs during the next 20 years.
Lieb looked to the coming year as a time of change and opportunity for La Plata County, he said.

How to Sign Up.
To sign up for the Site, you will need to supply to Alvera Limited your legal name, an electronic point of contact (usually email address) and whatever payment information you are planning to use. There are 2 main types of payment plans on this Site; a basic plan (which is the default plan) and a monthly premium plan. If you decide that you are going to retain a basic (default) bundle you are not going to be invoiced, and your charge card is saved in case you are looking to get additional upgrades (if appropriate). If you choose to, instead, start paying for the monthly premium; that is the only time that you will have any sort of cost on your Payment Method. By requesting a monthly premium plan from the Site and by utilizing the advantages of the Site, you concur that, as part of your repeated monthly premium bundle in the Site you sanction Alvera Limited or its associate(s) to charge your Payment Method the repeated Alvera Limited monthly premium cost (plus appropriate taxes) appropriate to your current premium plan (e.g., 1 month, 2 months, 6 months) on the same day during the month, until your Alvera Limited online monthly premium is canceled or otherwise revoked. For instance, if you have a monthly premium plan, and you started on the 12th of September, you would be charged (via your Payment Method) on the 12th of each subsequent month. If your date is on a day that is not necessarily found every month (say, if you started on the 31st of October), then your charge would occur on the 1st day of the following month (in this case, because there are not 31 days in November, you would be charged the 1st of December instead). You will not get copies of charge slips evidencing the repetitive costs of the monthly payment. You agree to pay the appropriate recurring premium costs (plus any applicable taxes) as indicated by your Payment Method service provider contract. You also sanction Alvera Limited to charge costs of any kind you can potentially incur connected with your Alvera Limited monthly premium service.
Imminent Additional Costs
When your Payment Method is a charge or credit card (the Payment Card), you also permit Alvera Limited to place a potential cost to your current Payment Card as soon as you register for a payment plan, and before each subsequent month's payment. Pending charges that are used to check out your billing address and whether or not your Payment Card is currently valid, are temporary (typically 3 to 7 days in length), and you will not actually have to pay any cost. Those charges will, however, reduce how much credit you have available on your Payment Card, based on how much that holding cost is (usually around $1- $2).
Costs Relating to your Payment Method.
You alone are responsible for any and all costs that your Payment Method requests you to pay in relationship with your transactions. This includes monthly costs, over limit costs, lack of sufficient funds, and costs related to going over your credit limit. Alvera Limited is not responsible for any of these costs.
Promotional Offers.
Occasionally, in Alvera Limited's consideration, Alvera Limited may provide a lessened monthly cost for any services related to the Site, for a specific period of time, to new customers or various other selected persons who already have accounts with the site. If you choose to utilize one of these promotions that are intended for new clients, at the time of creation of your Alvera Limited account, your Payment Method will still be asked to pay the promotional value, plus appropriate taxes, during this marketing period. For all those marketing offers, you concur that any kind of such lessened costs is only applicable at the time of the specified promotional period, understanding that the regular applicable repeated monthly cost plus appropriate costs and taxes will have to be paid, by way of automatic renewal on your Payment Method, when the promotion has ended. Requirements of the marketing offer, that may include the promotional costs and period of those costs, may be different depending on the offer. Any details of any promotion that are not covered in the Terms and Conditions will remain defined on the web page on which you land before you start your account or as part of the account creation process. Alvera Limited holds the right to give marketing access to our various other sites to selected subscribers.
$2.95 Trials.
Periodically, in Alvera Limited's decisions, the Site can offer a period of trial to customers that are using the site for the first time. These are limited to one per Payment Method presented, or one per household, based on the circumstances. During these trial promotions, your credit or check card will remain authorized for one month of service plus appropriate taxes, though your Payment Card will not be charged for the duration of the trial period. Other terms of trial offers, that may include the duration of the trial, can vary. Exact details of your trial not covered within the Terms and Conditions will remain defined on the web page that you used to make your account or the page where you saw the offer while making your account. The trial time begins the day you subscribe to Alvera Limited's monthly premium service.
At the end of the specified trial, your profile and access to the Site will be kept through charges via your Payment Method, until you've suspended them. This will happen, regardless of how long your trial period is meant to be. Kindly note, prices regarding the service might be different, based on your country of origin, the device that you are using, the services offered, and any related deals. The first day that you get charged following your trial will remain your anniversary date for billing purposes. Your Payment Method will be invoiced the repetitive monthly cost and any kind of appropriate sales tax on the day following the expiration of your trial period, unless you have chosen to cancel your plan at the conclusion of the trial period. In order to make sure that you don't have any charges, you have to make sure that you cancel your monthly plan before your trial period has ended. You won't get any kind of notification from Alvera Limited before, or at, the end of your own trial. Keep the expiration date on hand.
When you sign up for a trial, you will get all of the benefits of Alvera Limited for absolutely no cost. Monthly packages can be changed or nullified at any point prior to the end of your respective trial by calling 1-646-328-4527 for customers in the United States and Canada, or 1-646-328-4527 for international customers. These phone numbers are available for use all day, every day. Any plan modifications made to your profile before the trial has ended will make the rest of the trial invalid, and your new plan will be utilized.
When you provide Alvera Limited with your credit card details or any other Payment Method during signup, you consent to Alvera Limited charging you a monthly fee of $39.95 for access to our services, along with any additional services fees and taxes that apply to use of our services in your region. If you wish to change your Payment Method from the one you used originally during your signup, or edit personal information such as your card's validation or expiry date, you can do so via the Account page after logging into Alvera Limited. When you use your particular Payment Method to gain access to Alvera Limited's services, Alvera Limited validates your personal information by processing an authorization hold. You are not charged for this. If your credit card or other Payment Method expires while your subscription is active and you have not updated your information or cancelled your subscription to the service, you authorize Alvera Limited to continue charging you for our services, and are responsible for any accumulated unpaid fees.
Expiration Date and Refusal of Charges to Your Payment Card
When your Payment Card reaches the expiration date indicated, if you do not cancel your Alvera Limited Monthly Plan, you then grant authorization for Alvera Limited to not change your billing plan, and charges on that card will continue to accrue. If your card, for any reason, won't allow Alvera Limited to charge the monthly cost, you have 9 days to make the card valid. If Alvera Limited is able to put a charge on your Payment Card (whether it's the old one or the new one that you have provided) during the 9 day period and any other monthly costs are paid, then you will retain your access without interruption and the charges will be made until the plan is canceled. If Alvera Limited cannot charge the card (whether it's the old one or the new one that you have provided), then your benefits will be suspended starting on the 10th day after the payment was declined. Unless you cancel entirely, Alvera Limited may try to charge your card every ten days for thirty days following the initial date. If your card can be charged, that date becomes your new anniversary date and you will regain access to the site. This will continue until your cancel your Alvera Limited account.
Cancellation by You.
The initial repeated Alvera Limited monthly premium cost is valid for an initial period starting on the date your paid monthly service begins, and it will continue until through your next anniversary date. To illustrate, if your trial ends on the 15th of August, and your paid monthly premium starts on the 16th of August, your monthly premium cost gives you access to Alvera Limited benefits until the 16th of September, and then you will be invoiced on September 16th (which is your anniversary date) for the following period of time (the 17th of September to the 16th of October). You can cancel this at any point, and you won't be charged. So, for that same example, if you cancel on the 31st of August, you won't get invoiced on the 16th of September, but you will still have your benefits until the end of the period that you had paid for. To cancel your plan, call 1-646-328-4527 for Canada and the United States, or 1-646-328-4527 for international customers; these numbers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call to cancel, you will have to provide a reason to Alvera Limited as to why you are doing so.

You will have to authorize the new costs on your charge card. By changing your Alvera Limited monthly plan, you might be also allowing Alvera Limited or its associate to continue to renew your Alvera Limited monthly plan on each anniversary date that is for the new monthly plan, regarding the appropriate monthly payment (plus taxes) by charging your Payment Method until your Alvera Limited monthly plan is canceled as described above.

|Powered by QM on a Linux server
KnowledgeBase 00050: Security Subroutines
Security subroutines can be used to control access to specific commands.
The Security Subroutine
A security subroutine is a user-written Basic subroutine that will be executed automatically when an application attempts to execute the VOC item to which it applies
In QM, the declaration of this subroutine is
SUBROUTINE XXX(OK, VERB, REMOTE.FILE, REMOTE.ID)where
The subroutine may perform any checks it wishes to determine whether the user is allowed to execute the command. This might be based on, for example, the user's login id, the IP address of a network connection, the UID or GID of a Linux/Unix process, the time of day, etc.
The subroutine should return the OK argument as true (1) if the command can be run, false (0) if the user is to be denied access.
R-type VOC Items
An R-type VOC record points to an executable item (verb, sentence, paragraph, menu, etc) in another file.
1: R 2: File name 3: Record name 4: Security subroutine nameField 4 is optional and, if present, holds the name of the catalogued security subroutine. Using the name of the R-type item as a command will execute the subroutine to determine whether the action should continue. If it is allowed, the command processor follows the link to the remote record and executes it.
V-type VOC Items
Security subroutines can be applied directly to V-type VOC items by placing the subroutine name in field 5, avoiding the need for a separate entry in another file. The subroutine will be called in exactly the same way as for the R-type record described above.
Making it Water-Tight
Clearly, if the aim is to restrict the activity of a user who has access to the QM command line, it is necessary to include security subroutines on all VOC items that might allow the user to edit the VOC, removing the security subroutine name. Alternatively, ensure that the user does not have write access to the VOC.
Auditing and Debugging
Although security subroutines are intended for restricting access to specific commands, they are also very useful for auditing and debugging purposes.
In this case, the subroutine should always return the OK argument as true but can log details of how the command is being executed. This might be the username, IP address, or other information identifying the user. Alternatively, it could be the detailed call stack as returned by the SYSTEM(1002) function.

What we're about
gourmet (ˈɡʊəmeɪ, French ɡurmɛ) — n: a person who cultivates a discriminating palate for the enjoyment of good food and drink
Social adventures in food, culture, travel, and more for adult singles and couples of any age. You don't have to be a gourmet cook to join, just have an appreciation for quality food, a desire to explore other cultures, and a willingness to make warm social connections!
Do you appreciate all things food, including dinner parties, group cooking, cook-offs, food walking tours, chef demos, wine tastings, and ethnic dining? Yet, we are not just about food, wine and dining. What else do we like to do?
Do you enjoy learning about other cultures and attending cultural events, such as music, dance, movies, theater, festivals, day and weekend trips? Do you like being physically active: biking, dancing, hiking, kayaking, roller skating, camping, to name a few?
You don't have to like them all or want to try them all . . . but do come and check us out!
While we will do some similar events as other groups, my goal in starting this group was to bring people together who are willing to "think outside the box." I was a starving, self-supporting, adult college student for many years and had very little money for much of anything then, and for a long time afterward. I loved ethnic dining but could no longer afford to eat out, so I started an ethnic dinner group called "Global Gourmet."
I also loved to travel but had to prioritize my meager resources, so I learned how to travel low-budget. I learned to barter and negotiate for most of the things I wanted and needed.
I would like to resurrect these and many other unique ideas and share them with you, especially now, during challenging economic times. On the flip side, not everything will be low-budget, as my hope is to have something for everyone! And, an occasional splurge is good for the spirit!
I love the Meetup concept and the opportunity to share these events with you and most of all, the opportunity to get to know you better! I also love hearing about your ideas for potential Meetup events and activities and appreciate your interest and involvement. I have made many genuine friends through Meetup and want to expand the friendship circle even further!
We are constantly creating new and innovative events and are always on the lookout for interesting things to do. This is where you can help. Do you have space to accommodate 8 to 12 people for dinner, a movie, a game night or some other event? If so, contact me using the "Contact" feature on the left side of the website to share your ideas or to let me know you have space and I will happily offer ideas for you to consider! Then, come join us for some unique adventures in fun!
A few notes . . . joining is easy, but I do ask for a few simple things:
1) I do require appropriate photos of our members. Your primary picture should be a clear, current, close-up, solo photo of yourself.
Your current photo assists the event organizer and fellow group members to easily identify you at a Meetup activity. Since many of our events are held in private homes, your photo offers some reassurance to those who are willing to open their homes to you.
If you wish to discuss your reasons for not posting a photo on Meetup, please contact me. Sometimes it's as simple as you sending me a photo privately or being willing to have a photo taken of you at your first event with us.
Members who join and subsequently remove their photos from their profile, may be subject to removal from the Group. This is a private group, so only current members can see profiles and photos. We want all members to feel as safe as possible in the "Global Gourmet" Meetup Group.
2) Changes to RSVPs. Because of the smaller size of our events, each person's presence and contribution is important to its success. Our events will often have a "Waiting List." Please only RSVP "yes" if you can definitely attend. You may change your RSVP any time before 48 hours of the event. This way, someone else will have a chance to take your place and arrangements can be made to cover your food and beverage contributions.
Once being accepted into the group, please read the full message board posting of the "No Show & Changing of RSVPs to 'No' Within 48 Hours of An Event" Guidelines:
3) If an event is closed and you'd really like to go, please contact me. If I can fit you in, even last minute, I will attempt to do so. Whenever possible, I want to be able to include anyone who really wants to attend any event.
4) New members have 60 days to see if "Global Gourmet" is a good fit for them. During this time, trial members pay $2 per home event or become an annual member by paying the $10 Annual Membership dues at any Meetup event. Due to their small size and popularity, events are typically for members only. Guests (+1s) may attend by request for up to two events before needing to pay Annual Membership dues. Fees collected during the trial period do not apply to the Annual Membership. All dues payments are non-refundable.
5) Removal from the Group. My goal is to cultivate a group of really nice, friendly, considerate people who do what they say they're going to do. Therefore, undo rudeness and hostility to any member, no shows, chronic last-minute changes to RSVPs, habitually not bringing food and beverage as outlined in a Meetup posting, or any unethical behavior may be grounds for removal from the Group. As the Group's organizer, removal will be at my sole discretion and refunds will not be given.
6) Lastly, you must really enjoy hanging out with people of different ages and cultural backgrounds and be willing to risk making warm, heartfelt connections. And, there's a pretty good chance you'll probably learn something new and interesting along the way. ;-)
"It's valuable to surround yourself with like-minded people who promote positivity, offer perspective, and reflect back to you the things that are most important in your life." ~ Chrissy Carter
I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event,
Founder/Organizer of "Global Gourmet"
