A five-part Digiday Award-nominated web video series giving Kotaku and Jalopnik readers a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the Forza FilmSpeed campaign
Client: Studio@Gawker, The Gawker Media Group
With: 8112 Studios
Our Role
Gawker Media Group's Studio@Gawker needed a video production company to bring a five-part web video series to life for Microsoft's XBox ONE launch title, Forza Motorsport 5. Tiny Toy Car worked in partnership with 8112 Studios to make this vision a reality.
Forza Motorsport and their creative agency, twofifteen mccann, wanted to showcase the realistic sense of speed in their latest game by creating the world's largest, fastest zoetrope using a one-of-a-kind McLaren MP4-12C camera car, stunt driver Tanner Foust, and director Jeff Zwart around Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama.
Zwart and twofifteen mccann knew they needed a behind-the-scenes series to help viewers understand how this crazy stunt was pulled off - how 680 aluminum-mounted frames from the game could turn into seamless animation positioned around the track. They knew there would be skepticism from viewers thinking they must have used visual trickery, CGI or editing to achieve the effect.
Tiny Toy Car crafted the story lines for each of the five videos, each covering a unique aspect of the production. We also brought in Top Gear host Rutledge Wood to host the series, and worked with 8112 Studios to produce the series on-site in Alabama.
The video series received a nomination for Studio@Gawker from Digiday for Best Branded Video Web Series at the Digiday Video Awards.

GiGi's Playhouse offers more than 25 therapeutic and educational programs that advance literacy, math skills, motor skills and more; all of which are free of charge.
After planning last years Gala we jumped right into planning this years. I was fortunate enough to have some connections to find the Guest Speaker ~ Heath White. Heath White connected with the audience in such a profound way. As I stood and watched not only him as a speaker, I watched the parents of individuals with down syndrome wipe the tears in their eyes connecting with every word that he spoke.
I encourage each of you to listen to the story of Heath that was featured on ESPN. He sent a great message to our audience. Heath White - ESPN

It's Farmhouse Friday! I'm joining my blog friends to share our ideas for using containers.
So many fun ways to use containers whether it's to decorate, gifts or plant flowers. I used a vintage milk bottle carrier and milk glass for flowers I picked up at Trader Joe's. I created this sweet vignette for Mother's Day.
I found the Briggs Dairy Bottle carrier a few years ago at the flea market and I could not pass is up. I loved it! I filled it with a few randomly placed bottles and the pretty pink Ranunculus. I made the hello artwork from an old frame I got an estate sale for $3 and some scrapbook paper. I cut out the "hello" with my Cricut.
Want more container ideas? See how I transformed Dollar Store pots
Thank you for coming by. Have a wonderful weekend!

Alarming hush on Al Tahrir Square
Food, tea are prepared, litter disposed. Some are sleeping right on the asphalt or barren ground. Mubarak's supporters vanished back into the evening.
Nobody is losing vigilance, though: everyone who comes onto the square is checked for his or her ID documents and frisked. My press card always evokes enthusiasm: "Oh, Russia!" – both among the rebels and Mubarak's supporters. I feel somewhat awkward before my colleagues. The latest reports about the rebellion in Egypt from world TV channels were about the very bad treatment by the army and security forces of journalists. My Greek colleague, whenever he is alone, is taken for an American and gets arrested all the time by security agents. Today he was arrested again, his photographs were rummaged and he was forced to erase not only the shots made from the square but also from Athens, where some people were photographed beating an official.
During the night, many approach me on the square having seen my camera and tell me about their concerns. This odd hush is frightening. As if by magic, not only the most aggressive supporters of the regime disappeared but also the reporters, although nothing is yet over and the crisis is not resolved. On the contrary, it has entered its decisive phase right after the harsh words of Obama and the leaders of five European countries that Mubarak should immediately start power transition procedures. At the same time, world TV channels are not showing the square anymore, not only live but even avoiding mentioning it. People say that the picture disappeared from the screens too abruptly, which can mean not a victory over the regime at all, but will only increase the feeling of its impunity.
Nadezhda Kevorkova, RT
It's also amazing how diligently the world media avoided the anti-Israeli rhetoric and the symbols of the rebellion, whereas Mubarak caused hatred not as much by being a US ally as by having recognized Israel and taken part in blockading Gaza. The fact that during the first days of the rebellion the Egyptian border guards fled and the Gaza blockade fell was passed over in complete silence by the mainstream media.
Professor Amr came specially from Alexandria. He rented an apartment for his wife and asked her to monitor the media coverage of the events and report to him, in order to have everything analyzed on the Square. As for himself, he spends the nights here.
"Mubarak violated the main principles of just rule," he told me. "Instead of protecting the citizens, he subjected them to double hazard: tyranny and arbitrariness. His minister releases prisoners from prisons. Now these criminals are a threat to all. Citizens are forced to protect their homes and families on their own, as if there are no authorities in the country. Only yesterday, for the first time in the past nine days, we happened to see several policemen, although they were simply traffic regulators. What is there to regulate, if there is no traffic? Why did they not defend citizens from criminals? Every night I was patrolling the areas in Alexandria. The rebels have not damaged anything, while criminals were doing that all the time unhindered. What were the police busy with? They changed their uniforms into civilian clothes and began to clamp down on the rebels, imitating people's support for a regime that is not capable of defending its people."
Much has changed on the Square. For instance, medics have appeared. A mobile hospital and a pharmacy have been set up. During the nights, not only bulky strong men but also young female nurses are on duty.
By daytime the rebellion acquired some sense as the rebels seemed to have decided to retain the Square and to organize themselves. In the past days, only people of faith and those sympathizing with the Muslim Brotherhood gave the impression of being well-organized and responsible. They not only started their prayers right on time, but also quickly organized delivery of food and water, disposal of rubbish, prevented clashes with provocateurs and the harsh treatment of those who were caught. Even the checking of ID documents and pockets was well-organized by the well-disciplined people of faith but not by dreamy liberals, of whom there are too many here. And shouting slogans, composing revolutionary raps, performing victory dances, rattling with metal rods and whistling can be easily done without ideological instructions.
Only the Muslim Brotherhood has a sort of headquarters on the Square, despite the fact that their organization is banned – all the members and their families are under constant surveillance. Every one of them is facing a real risk of being in public, where informers and provocateurs are many. It was only them who put up a screen to inform other citizens about what the media is saying about the protests.
Provocateurs and secret agents are dealt with as follows: they are captured during their attempt to penetrate through the human chains. Sometimes weapons are found on them, sometimes they behave improperly and start squabbles. Sometimes an agent may be beaten, however the disciplined citizens immediately recapture the individual and lead him away to have things sorted out, after which he is turned away from the Square. My colleagues filmed Mubarak's supporters' treatment of an opposition representative who was severely beaten by the crowd, and nobody tried to defend him.
Nadezhda Kevorkova, RT
For more pictures see RT's gallery.
Women from the Muslim Brotherhood would approach me and warn me to be extremely cautious, because I am being monitored, filmed and followed.
"The authorities want no journalists to be here, which would let the authorities be free to deal with all the rebels without witnesses. You are an eyewitness and you're in danger. Now it's the most dangerous time – the hush," they warned.
The girl passes a hairpin to me so I can appear less noticeable.
I do what I am told, and the girl is pleased. She says, "Now you'll not be so evidently foreign-looking."
About 20 meters away from us, a lad is waving his hands and shouting, "Russia Today!"
Later, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood found me on the other end of the Square and asked me to inform all the journalists that a French reporter's passport had been found and was kept in their headquarters. It's amazing that the correspondents I asked to help were at first frightened and only afterward agreed to help.
During the daytime, food, water and blankets were brought in in good amounts. An old lady with grey curly hair saw a particularly slim soldier on a tank and solemnly handed a blanket to him. He pressed the blanket to his chest for some time, until his mate took it away from him, laughing.
Earlier, the tanks had been deployed and directed toward the Square. They were captured by the rebels. The officers vanished, and up to a dozen citizens climbed on top of it, watching the stone-throwing battle but not making a single attempt to start the tank. The barrels were already directed on Mubarak's supporters, though.
When I left the Square late last night, the rebels were already in control of Qasr al-Nil Bridge. Whereas the previous night it had held supporters of the regime, now the bridge over the Nile was absolutely empty. For those who recall the lessons of the Russian Revolution, control over the bridges is not mere empty words but much more significant than retaining the square near the Egyptian Museum.
In the rear guard of the rebellion, I talked to a solitary slim chap with a helmet on and an iron rod in his hands. His name was Ahmed, and he was a law student at Cairo University who was shining with hope for victory, although it would be absolutely irrelevant for his future profession whether society is just or not. He said to me as I was leaving, "Are you coming in the morning? We need your help."

Moving On Towards Moving On
Posted by sexwithdexxx in Uncategorized on February 19, 2012
Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what song the title is from. (The song is at the bottom of the page)
So yeah, I've moved on a lot from where I was the last time I wrote, on Tuesday. On Wednesday I went out for a coffee and walk in the park with Sparkles (who you have to thank/blame for this page's existence) whose view on the situation with that person was slightly more articulate than some other's. She didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but it was good to hear it coming from someone else I trust and whose opinion I think highly of (and, in her words, someone who has "been there and made a million T-shirts"). She pointed out a few things; that I know what's going on is unhealthy and that all I have to do to end it was walk away; but that at the same time it's easier said than done, because though it's painful, until it hurts too much you'll keep going anyway; that, in a bizarre way, I'm getting off on this; and that he's getting off on the situation just as much as me.
I've had all of that playing in the background as a sort of mantra for the last few days, especially on Wednesday when, apparently glutton for punishment, the two of us went out dancing. It wasn't a great night out but at the same time it served as a sort of tipping point. Despite knowing I don't drink he insisted on me drinking some of his drink ("Go on, just have a little bit. Go on – for me") followed by a vaguely patronising stroke to the face accompanied by "Good boy". Both things pissed me off, the latter more than the former since I've told him before, not long after we first met, not to do that. It sends mixed messages, and however innocuous it might seem from the outside, he's not on the outside, and (theoretically) knows how confusing it's going to be for me.
But whatever, I'm over those moments now since I don't think there was any sort of malintent, just inconsideration, and you know what? I think I'm actually more or less over him now too. We had a wee conversation by text on Thursday which I thought was quite constructive and aired a few things that needed airing, and now I'm feeling quite positive about it all now. I was sceptical before about the possibility of staying friends but I think we're pretty much there, or rather I'm pretty much there since he was ostensibly there already. So yeah, this is a good thing. I've learned a lot, come out of it the other end intact, and gained a friend too. I can't see how any of that's a bad thing.

VR Mission 011
This is another mission where you must reach the end point without triggering an alert. You need to do this in less than twenty five seconds.
So go to the corner. A guy is walking towards you, and a laser is moving towards you. When the guy is in front of you, jump over him and the laser. Ninja run up the block in front of you, and jump through the crevice afterwards.
To your left will be three invisible platforms. Jump diagonally to the second one while ninja running. Run off the platform you reach, and stay left. Jump over two of the lasers, and short hop over the last one. I finished at 18.33 seconds.

Judge Upholds Detention of Two Gitmo Detainees
Court Watch 2009/01/02 17:27
Court Watch 2009/01/02 17:27
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the U.S. government is properly imprisoning two people as enemy combatants in Guantanamo - the first legal victory for the Bush administration in the issue for a long time, and the first of an expected 200 or more similar cases.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington, D.C., was the jurist who ruled about a month ago that the Bush administration had illegally imprisoned five Algerians at Guantanamo for nearly 7 years. He ordered the administration to release them.
The recent case involved a Yemeni, Moath Hamza Ahmed al Alwi, and a Tunisian, Hisham Sliti.
Judge Leon found that Sliti was an al Qaeda recruit who attended a military training camp in Afghanistan.
Judge Leon ruled that though there was no proof that al Alwi had made war upon U.S. forces, his ties to the Taliban were sufficient to justify his imprisonment as an enemy combatant.

two months
Liam is now two months old! He's a pretty great kid. He has his fussy moments (I mean, c'mon, he's a baby) but for the most part he's a happy baby. Lately he's discovering his hands and learning to hold his head up. He wakes up about two times a night to eat but always goes right back to sleep when he's done. He's also starting to smile more. I love seeing that adorable toothless grin. I also love hearing him babble. Cuteness overload! He has the stinkiest farts but I kinda love them. He really enjoys bath time. He's so calm as the warm water pours over him. He's not a huge fan of tummy time, but we're working on it. Tomorrow he has his two month appointment with the pediatrician so we'll get his official growth stats then. I'm going to predict that he weighs around 11 pounds...we'll see!
P.S. I wrote a guest post for the Walking Worthy blog on trust, worry, and being a new mom. Check it out here.

- Patrick Barron/Daily
By Alicia Adamczyk, Daily News Editor
and Adam Glanzman, For the Daily
Published September 15, 2013
About 40 members of the University's chapter of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity gathered Sunday for the fourth-annual Wheel in their Shoes 5K. But instead of lacing up tennis shoes in preparation of the event, the brothers lowered themselves into wheelchairs for the trek across campus.
The two-hour event, which began at the University of Michigan Health System's Cardiovascular Center and continued across Central Campus, was held to raise awareness for people with disabilities among the University community.
The 2012 event raised about $1,500 for Push America, a national non-profit that serves people with disabilities. LSA junior Nicholas Guys, Pi Kappa Phi's philanthropy chair, said they expect to raise roughly the same amount of funds in 2013.
Guys said the 5K is the fraternity's largest event of the fall, and, in addition to raising awareness, the event also allows the brothers to gain a better understanding of the difficulties of using a wheelchair for mobility.
"The point of the event is for us to learn firsthand about ways that we can make campus a little bit more accessible for people with disabilities," Guys said. "Because as ... we all know from doing this, it's really, really tough."
In addition to those in wheelchairs, other members of the fraternity helped to push their brothers up hills and keep them on course. As the caravan made its way down from the Cardiovascular Center, a few members slid into the street or off into the bushes. A minor traffic jam was caused when the brothers crossed State Street on their way to the Cube. One wheelchair lost its tire.
LSA senior Paul Willar, a member of Pi Kappa Phi, said the event can be an "eye-opening experience" that shows how inaccessible campus can be for handicapped persons.
Guys said the hills and potholes around campus are especially difficult for those with physical disabilities. He said he has been working with the University's Office for Institutional Equality to improve accessibility, but progress has been slow.
The brothers also handed out fliers to curious passersby. Nursing sophomore Asa Smith stopped briefly to chat and offer support.
"When I saw them passing by I really wondered if they all had disabilities," Smith said. "Then I saw their shirts, and I thought it was really cool."
Though the 5K is the fraternity's most visible event, they also host other events to raise funds, including a charity dinner for students, faculty and community members with disabilities.
"It's good for us to learn and to build some solidarity," Guys said.

Mark Twain supposedly once said, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." Well I tell you what – he wouldn't have said that if he were here this week as the weather has been absolutely stunning. Low to Mid seventies with not a cloud in the sky. Today was especially nice as the farmers market on Embarcadero opened up and lunch was spent among the hordes shopping for fresh oranges, fava beans, honey, lilacs, etc.
Speaking of Twain, it's interesting that this is the second time I've chosen to use what I thought to be a Twain quote and in both cases it turns out likely that the quote was incorrectly attributed to him.
The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Maybe not Twain but they should be.

Today, pollster TNS-BMRB publishes its most recent poll on Scottish independence. Often as not, today's results are quoted in isolation. I thought it might be helpful and of interest to stage a beneath-the-topline retrospective on the company's findings since the start of 2013. One wee note of caution. In January, TNS BMRB was still using the old formulation about negotiating independence, adopting the Scottish Government's new question first only in February. The impact of the change seems negligible, so I've simply included the January figures in the charts below.
I don't have much time to commit to the exegesis of this material, so today I'll mostly be presenting the data, and leaving it at that, with a couple of marginal notions, to aid understanding. Today's data is labelled as March '13 throughout. First up, TNS-BMRB's findings on the changing overall picture since January.
Historically, the gender gap has remained a stubborn feature of independence polling. Interestingly, TNS-BMRB has consistently generated smaller discrepancies between the voting intentions of men and women in the referendum than many of its competitors.
Polling data on the breakdown of voting intentions by age has been marked by significant volatility at the bottom, most youthful end of the spectrum, and a good deal of solidity as we approach the eldest cohort of respondents. Opposition to independence amongst those aged over 55 continues, undented. By contrast, the sometimes more-pro-independence younger voters continues to leap about like a frog in a frying-pan.
35 - 54
55 - 65+
Social Grading
Like a number of other pollsters, TNS BMRB break down their data using "social grading" codes. Respondents are classified based on the occupation of the "head of household". This information on the chief earner's profession is broken down into AB (upper) and C1 (lower) middle classes, with C2 representing the "skilled working class", and DE denoting the working class and those living at the lowest levels of subsistence. To add a bit of important context, according to Ipsos-MORI, something like 27% of Britons would be classified as of AB social grade, 29% as C1s, 21% as C2s, and 23% as DE.
Previous polls have tended to show that opposition to independence is substantially higher amongst AB voters than their poorest fellows. While TNS-BMRB found that opposition to independence is 8% down amongst AB voters than at the start of the year, today's poll shows a spike in the number of the poorest Scots who oppose the measure, and an independence droop. That said, the poorest cohort of Scots remains the most supportive, while the richest remain unconvinced, with less a quarter of AB voters currently favouring independence.
Independence: AB and C1s.
Independence: C2DEs.

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo is the musical love-child of two folks who live in Hoboken, dig the Mets, eat red meat, sleep late, and whose lives were saved by rock and roll. Ira Kaplan used to write about the latter topic for various renowned New York publications before he met drummer Georgia Hubley who used her rhythmic charms to lure his guitar out of the closet. The band has been a quartet, a trio, or just the two of 'em. They've recorded a 10-minute guitar feedback freakout and they've covered Pete Seeger. Collaborators have included Dave Rick (Bongwater, Phantom Tollbooth), Chris Stamey, and some Swiss guy named Stephan. Their last album, President Yo La Tengo, approached nirvana from the guitar-loop dirge of "Barnaby, Hardly Working" (re-tooled here on Fakebook) to the garage lifting glory of Antietam's "Orange Song" (whose brand new album, Burgoo, was produced by Georgia and Ira).
The album in question is Fakebook, Yo La Tengo's fourth, and it was made right here in Hoboken this past spring. It's also their Bar/None debut and we couldn't be more pleased. Why? Because over the past half-decade, Yo La Tengo has been creating music that has the ability to stir you up deep down inside, giving voice to the magic and the rage of everyday living.
Using their occasional acoustic concerts as a jumping-off point, and exploiting Georgia's newfound willingness to sing, Fakebook is made up mostly of cover songs, built on Ira's acoustic strumming, Georgia's brushwork, and the pair's harmonizing (as previously heard on Fakebook's obvious antecedent, "Alyda" from President Yo La Tengo). Dave Schramm, who left Yo La Tengo after the Ride the Tiger album to form the Schramms, returns to the lead guitar chair, and the Schramms' Al Greller contributes bass. Periodic bassist and frequent producer Gene Holder is once again at the reins, and there are animated guest vocals from Peter Stampfel and the Pussywillows.
There you have it. Fakebook is what Yo La Tengo spent the first portion of 1990 creating; now you can spend the rest of the year feeling the results.

"RECRUITERS typically scan his résumé with an air of approval, he said, until noting that it ends in 2001. He tells them that his is a "particular case," that he spent time in prison. He avoids the word "Guantánamo," he said, as it often stirs more fear than sympathy."

That's why I joined the Campaign for Better Health Care's newly created Small Business Health Care Consortium (SBHCC). This consortium views the needs of small businesses and their employees as a top priority.
And, as a member of the Steering Committee of the SBHCC I am personally inviting you to join our network of small businesses who know that only through our collective voices that will assure that the Affordale Care Act live up to its goal of making healthcare affordable for all.
Discussions around health reform have been confusing and, sometimes, even misleading. It is the goal of the SBHCC to provide factual information about the changes that are already happening and those coming in the near future. The SBHCC discusses the benefits and opportunities of the ACA and what Illinois small businesses need to do to make sure this law will benefit them.
Many key components of the ACA are national in nature. For instance, small businesses currently providing health insurance to their employees could be eligible for a 35% tax credit. And, while employers with fewer than 50 full time employees are not required to provide health insurance, their employees can take advantage of the ACA's benefits.
Other components will be implemented at the State level and these decisions will either enhance small businesses or provide another hurdle. One important component is that all states must implement a health insurance exchange (marketplace). These exchanges will include a rate review process with defined, easy to understand plans to consider and review side-by-side.
As small business owners we share many of the same, serious business challenges. It is my hope that you and your small business peers do want to learn more about the ACA. Let's take this opportunity to act collectively to get control of health insurance costs and improve access to coverage. The opportunity to create positive change is now. It is about fairness and choices for small businesses. To that end I like for you to hear my own personal story about how the new healthcare law will effect me.

Man accused of attempted murder alleged to be part of drug gang
Police objected to bail amid fears he would flee the country or interfere with witnesses
A Lithuanian man accused of trying to murder two men who were shot, is allegedly part of an international drug smuggling gang, a judge heard on Monday
A Lithuanian man accused of trying to murder two men who were shot, is allegedly part of an international drug smuggling gang, a judge heard on Monday.
Standing in the dock of Newry Magistrates Court, 26-year-old Ramunas Macnoris spoke only to confirm his personal details and that he understood the seven charges against him.
Macnoris, with an address at Lambfield House in Dungannon, is charged with two counts of attempted murder, kidnapping one of the alleged victims, possessing a weapon, namely a handgun with intent to commit attempted murder, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and driving without a licence – all alleged to have occurred on 17 September this year.
The two allegedly linked attacks targeting two 32-year-old men took place in quick succession at Sandys Street and Armagh Road in the city in the early hours of Thursday.
Giving evidence to the court, Detective Sergeant McNeill said he believed he could connect Macnoris to each of the charges and that police were objecting to his release on bail amid fears that he would reoffend, flee the country or interfere with witnesses.
Claiming that Macnoris is part "of a Lithuanian organised crime gang involved with the importation and distribution of drugs," the officer said the first alleged victim was kidnapped from his home in Ardfield Avenue in Warrenpoint before being driven to Newry when he was apparently dumped out of a VW Passat and shot in the leg.
He told the court the witness had given a statement that he had been "on the run from the Lithuanian mafia for three years" over an alleged drug deal and that a man he named as 'Kundas' had confronted him at his front door, pointed a black handgun at him "and told him to come quietly."
Bundled into the back seat of the Passat, allegedly driven by Macnoris, the detective described how 'Kundas' demanded the man hand over £5,000 and gave him a phone to get the money but when the victim said he couldn't get it, "Kundas said he would be killed."
He was shot in the leg on the Armagh Road and cops were alerted when a member of the public found him.
Meanwhile, DS McNeill said there had been a second incident at the Sandys Road in Newry when the second victim opened his front door to be confronted by a male allegedly armed with a handgun and attached silencer.
The detective told the court that crime scene investigators had examined both houses and when the first victim was found on the Armagh Road with a bullet head and casing recovered from the property on Sandys Road and a bullet case found where the first victim was shot.
He said that "to put it in context," the calibre of that bullet was "typically used by Eastern block countries as service weapons."
The officer revealed that police enquires had uncovered numerous sightings of the Passat and a Volvo car in an apparent convoy on CCTV footage around the city at the time of the shootings.
Macnoris was arrested on Thomas Street in Dungannon and the court heard that a search of the vehicle revealed a "sophisticated hide" where the passenger air bag should have been.
Instead, DS McNeill said cops discovered it was a secret hide capable of being locked and unlocked using electro magnets operated by the air bag button and inside, officers seized a "flick baton and a quantity of white powder."
During interviews Macnoris refused to answer police questions, account for his movements or take part in a police line up.
The detective added however that in "covert proceedings," the man who was allegedly kidnapped had identified Macnoris as the driver.
Police were objecting to him being released as they believed he was part of an organised drug gang who had access to drugs and guns and was likely to commit further offences, interfere with witnesses or flee the country.
Despite defence submissions that Macnoris could be released with stringent conditions including staying 40 miles away from Newry, District Judge Paul Copeland refused to grant bail to the alleged would-be killer.
Remanding Macnoris, who blew kisses to his blonde girlfriend in the public gallery, into custody to appear again on 14 October via videolink, Judge Copeland said there were "genuine fears" concerning the risks the officer had raised should he release Macnoris.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Spent many a night reading y'alls views and arguments of course about all these saws, learned a lot from this board, many thx.
I'm finally making the step up to a cabinet saw, I intend this purchase to be a lifetime saw for hobby and weekend warrior woodworking. Seems any of the main-line cabinet saws would be great to own. In particular my eye on Shop Fox 1820 looks like everything i could want in a saw. BUT i play the piano as part of my real job and just feel I should pony up for the added layer of accident defense from a saw stop. So probably going with the 3hp w T-glide.
A few remaining questions i haven't seen much discussion about (hopefully these are not retreads, or too long a thread):
1. CARTRIDGE LIFE- what is the shelf life of an un-tripped brake cartridge? Any components in it that would degrade and cause less confidence or a no-fire when tripped after years of waiting? (saw stop cust svc said there's not a shelf life limit, just wondering if anyone else can think of a reason. do they test 5 or 10 year old cartridges or just new ones).
2. MOBILE BASE for EXTENSION – people say the mobile base works great. But if you have the long extension table does the whole thing move well from just the main mobile base? (Some saws have an added truck/dolly to the base that extends to the right to support the extension). Ok for the rails to support the entire extension wings when lifted up?
3. FICKLE ? - says the safety system is always running diagnostics from power-on and during use, and if anything doesn't pass the saw is inoperable. That's great as a safety system, but how often is the saw refusing to run, fickle, or giving false positives etc on its checklists, is this a problem? Can you run Bypass mode if need be to overcome things that would only affect the safety brake, so to just use as a regular saw? Let's say I just need to make a couple cuts but don't have a brake cartridge available for some reason, or it's having a sensor problem, etc?
4. LONG-TERM – I wonder what saw stop will do after their patent protection runs its course and others are able to copy what they do? (seems like only a few more years but idk?). Is there worry parts or support won't be available long-term, esp for proprietary electronics and cartridges for safety system, or for older models as they continue to improve and focus on newer patents and products). I'm guessing they'll still be around or someone else will offer what is needed to keep these things running since there's a lot of them out there now, but lifetime is (hopefully) a long time!
Any experience or thoughts you have are much appreciated! -mike

1. I have had no problem with cartridge life. Have put 2 into use that had set for well over a year with no problem. Would not expect any problems with longer storage times unless the environment where they were stored was very hot or humid.
2. I have a 36 extension on my pcs and have no problems moving saw with the mobile base. The extension is not very heavy and easily lifts with the mobile base.
3. I have had nor heard of problems with cartridge failing to operate. As far as I know the saw will not operate without a cartridge.
4. Only time will tell. This seems to me to be a quality company that will be around long after their patent protect expires.

1. Nothing to add..
2. Espeically if you get the PCS base, it works like a car jack. It lifts the saw straight up off the ground. The rigid fence rails mean that the extension is lifted right straight up as well. A lot of the bases on other saws don't lift the saw, they just have locking casters. In that case, you'd need/want rollers under the extension supports.
3. The diagnostic runs once at power on of the saw. It takes about 20 seconds to check everything, and then you can start cutting. Remember this saw has two switches. One for power on, where the diagnostics run, and then the other for the main motor. I just make sure to turn the saw on first while I gather my materials, and then it is ready to go. It is a pain to wait the 20 seconds if I forget.
4. I considered this as well, but I figured the worst case is that I have to buy a switch and wire the motor direct and then it just runs like a regular saw. Not ideal, but its still a great saw mechanically, IF, they ever go under and stop supporting their saw. Eventually, every saw stops being supported (see what i did there?). You may argue that it is more of a risk with Sawstop, but who knows. The other thing that could happen with the patent going out, is other folks start making parts for it. Hard to say.

I own a PCS 175 with 36" T-Fence for a little over a year.
1: The cartridge is a sealed component. I can't imagine that there is any degradation of the component over the life of the saw. I've read about saws that have been set off for the first time after years of ownership so I don't think this is a concern.
2: The front T-Rail and back rail mounted on the saw are extremely heavy (>1/4" thick power coated steel) that support the extension tables. The extension table inserts are pretty light so I don't think this is a concern. I have moved the saw (36") with a hand truck a few inches and there was zero movement/sag of the extension.
3: The saws electronics will not allow the saw to operate without a cartridge installed (and correctly spaced from the blade) regardless of bypass mode enabled or not. Bypass mode is easy to enable, however it only remains active for one blade start/stop cycle and needs to be enabled again for each blade start/stop cycle. All this being said, picking up an extra cartridge (or two) would likely be pretty common for a production environment. As a hobbyist….. If I manage to set it off for a contact, I'll suck it up and wait till the replacement arrives since I should be paying more attention anyway – finger/moisture/metal regardless – Hobby is meant to be fun :) .
4: Time will tell on this one – I've talked to support once and was very impressed; it was a question about the coating on diablo blades causing problems (nope). It's a high quality product at a price point that is competitive with saws of similar specs (Cabinet and Industrial grade). However they are not competitively priced in the contractor/portable market so those product lines will likely reflect that – but that's all speculation.
Overall – I couldn't be happier with my purchase (well I should have gotten the 52") and I haven't needed the safety feature (and don't intend to.)

I had a cartridge trip because I didn't have enough clearance between the brake and blade. Problem was caused because I failed to check the calibration when I changed blades. New blade was slightly larger diameter than the original.

I run a PCS with an ICS mobile base. That particular mobile base has a hydraulic foot pedal, and lifts the saw and 52" rails all as one unit. It is really a slick system, and I especially like that it frees up space under the extension table for my shop cart.

thanks for the replies everyone. i also came across some pretty thorough youtube reviews by jay bates and by workshop addict today i hadn't seen before that talked about some of these things.
no Kaz i think this is the saw for me. just trying to be thorough and eyes wide open going in! kind of a significant purchase for me here.
anyone have a strong opinion +/- on vendor or shipping? first time I've bought a major tool like this online, i guess ill look around tonight and use rocker or amazon prime or sawstop direct idk. hope for someone who will be responsive if any problems need addressing, but it sounds like most have had a very good experience with the delivery and setup of these from what i can tell.

I bought the 3hp Sawstop 3 years ago and have no regrets. It's a great tool and I've had no problems with the mobile base, cartridges, fence or anything else. I don't think you would ever be sorry if you bought the Sawstop.

My 20 year old Jet contractor's saw went out for the second time in the midst of a project and wife said get another one. The SawStop technology had been on my wish list for several years (had a close call 16-18 yrs ago with one digit getting a 2×8mm portion sliced off- no long term consequences but healing by secondary intention is long and unpleasant). Anyway, the contractor's model is just a pleasure to use. Beware the cartridge though; mine went off for coming into contact with a screw. Thank to Amazon, no time lost to driving 40 miles to the nearest SS dealer for a replacement.

I have SawStop PCS. It certainly makes a lot of sense to protect your fingers and livelihood. I think the rough premium for the SawStop technology is about $500. I see it as insurance. Not cheap, but in your case makes it a no brainer. Of course, still many other ways to damage your fingers in the shop, though not too many can cut or shred them quite as quickly and severely as a table saw.
I see no reason to be concerned with the shelf life of the cartridges. Electronics don't just wear out sitting on a shelf. And I do not believe there is anything mechanical that will wear just sitting there.
I use an ICS mobile base with my PCS. It lifts the whole saw, and the extension just goes along for the ride. As mentioned rails are very heavy duty and in fact the bulk of the weight of the extension. The weight of the extension table is insignificant. While I'm sure the extension legs help the extension stay flat, I think they are there mostly to ensure the saw won't tip if something heavy is stacked on it. There's no need to support the extension when moving it.
Fickle? SawStops are not fickle. They are of course more complicated in their design, though only slightly more complex to use using two switches. But mine has worked as expected every time.
Long term, who knows. It's possible they are the Betamax of table saw technology and something much better will come along someday and SawStop will cease to exist or simply won't bother supporting an old technology. But, in all likelihood, this is many years down the road. We now buy cars with very complex controls with no assurance we will be able to get parts in the future. It's just the way it is.
While I don't think it is silly to consider long term availability of parts and service, I see no reason to be any more concerned about SawStop than any other product. And as mentioned, worst comes to worst, you bypass all the control and switch power to the motor directly.
If you get the PCS, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I had a 50+ year old Craftsman contractor saw that could barely cut its way out of a wet paper bag. Not going to ridicule it, after all my dad built our first house with it. But, I had no idea just how useful and fun an accurate table saw can be. It Hurts the wallet up front, but after you start using it, you'll forget about what it cost and enjoy working with a quality machine.

I have had the SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw with the 36" rails now for about five years, and will share my findings with you… first to answer your questions:
2. MOBILE BASE for EXTENSION
I will tell you something else about long-term though: My table is not flat anymore. I measured almost 1/64" off from left to right with a 12" long engineers square. I have not yet tried to fix it, but it is very frustrating. Setting the blade to 90 degrees is in a way useless now… well, if I remember to only cut from one side, it is somewhat OK, still a big bummer. I suppose this happened because the table was not properly seasoned at the factory.
The only other thing I would complain about is the insert plate. I just hate insert plates… the one that comes with the saw tips if you put pressure at the wrong spot. Making your own may help.
Other than that, I think it's quite a nice saw. The blade has been running true, the miter slots are parallel, the fence system is quite nice…
Last but not least, regarding shipping: I bought mine through Woodcraft, and I was very happy with the service. They did not just drop the saw on the sidewalk and walked away as some other dealers (looking at you, Felder/Hammer), they brought it down into my sub-terrain garage, made sure everything was there, had a little chat, exchanged some tips etc. That was Woodcraft San Jose.

Nothing new to add, but I can tell you an acquaintance of mine triggered his last year. Of interest is that his saw is a 2006 model and still had the original cartridge in it. Shelf life isn't something that seems to be a problem. For the mobile base, get the ICS version (I think that's what bbasiaga meant to say). It has 4 swivel casters for easy maneuvering, and the hydraulic jack lift lets it sit flat on the floor when in place. In my mind it's the way all mobile bases should be made; of course all that is offset somewhat by the high cost. I haven't had my saw that long (about 2 years) but I guess I do think it's a little fickle. Especially when changing cartridges (back and forth to a dado blade). The setting has to be dead on, though this gets easier after a time or two. Also, there are several disconnects on the saw, in the doors, etc. Leave one ajar, and it won't start. But all this is part of the learning curve, and you soon get to where none of it is a problem. I, too, wonder about the saw long term. Electronics like these are not a lifetime deal, and what would happen if SS went under? Well, worse case (very worse) is you could rip all the electronics out and run it as a regular saw. More likely is that the SS will make it, and parts service will be available for the foreseeable future. We may see after market stuff show, but Gass is also a patent lawyer, and i'd bet he has something up his sleeve to stretch that patent for a while yet. Congrats on the choice, and enjoy your saw.

The only thing i can add is that startup takes a few extra seconds over regular saws and i find myself getting antsy.

About the extensions: Grizzly G0715, which weighs almost exactly like PCS 36" does not have any extension support at all, still is very stable even when installed on Grizzly's mobile base.

IMHO the Sawstop Industrial Mobile Base is the best made…and very expensive.
I almost always leave my PCS with the power on and then just use the paddle switch and it comes on immediately….no waiting.

Section 2.1.2 "Accessing the parent document through the DOM can be disabled for security reasons. In such cases user agents should throw a SecurityException as defined in section 2.1.4." Section 2.1.3 "Accessing the child document through the DOM can be disabled for security reasons. In such cases user agents should throw a SecurityException as defined in section 2.1.4." Section 2.1.4 SecurityException - I strongly recommend against security exceptions. The generallyaccepted best security practices are silent failure when an attempted intrusion is detected. Otherwise the attacker may gain useful information. Therefore it would be best to just return nil in cases where access is disabled for security reasons, and to remove the exception. This also matches de facto behavior of similar features in existing UAs (window.frameElement for instance, which just returns nil rather than throwing an exception). Section 2.2.2 "When a document breaks through the user agent security policy, user agents are encouraged to dispatch a security event in the http:// www.w3.org/2005/10/cdf namespace on the document object." - Surely this should say "attempts to break through the user agent security policy". - Which document object? The parent? The child? The document attempting to violate policy? The document that is the target of the attempted violation? Please clarify this in the specification. - Security events are a bad idea for the same reason as security exceptions. I recommend removing them from the spec.Received on Monday, 2 January 2006 09:36:24 UTC

I think most artists have a few nagging images that are stuck in their minds whenever they create. For me it has been Indra's net.
The following parable from the Buddhist canon provides a beautiful visual metaphor for the interdependence and interpenetration of all phenomena.
Suspended above the palace of Indra, the Buddhist god who symbolizes the natural forces that protect and nurture life, is an enormous net. A brilliant jewel is attached to each of the knots of the net. Each jewel contains and reflects the image of all the other jewels in the net, which sparkles in the magnificence of its totality.
When we learn to recognize what Thoreau refers to as "the infinite extent of our relations," we can trace the strands of mutually supportive life, and discover there the glittering jewels of our global neighbors. Buddhism seeks to cultivate wisdom grounded in this kind of empathetic resonance with all forms of life.
- from "Thoughts on Education for Global Citizenship", a lecture given by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda at Columbia University on June 13, 1996.

The story begins around the 14th of June when Jennie (71) complained of a cold and cough which very quickly became cured thanks to her immune system..
However it would appear that the antibodies in her immune system didn't stop fighting that infection.
On the 19th June she was complaining of 'tingly' fingers.
On Monday morning 22nd June she woke with a left arm which 'wouldn't work' and after phoning NHS Direct it was suggested that Jennie should go to the local Hospital. There they
diagnosed a possible stroke.
Blood tests, 2 ECG's and an MRI scan of her Brain showed she was OK in this department and had not had a stroke.
By Tuesday evening she was having difficulty in breathing and at midnight they called an ambulance to take her to the General Hospital where she was admitted to the Neurology High Dependency Unit. Wednesday morning she was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome.
By the afternoon she was more or less paralysed, couldn't swallow, breathe and was on a ventilator.
GBS (www.gbs.org.uk) is a condition where the antibodies in the immune system forget to switch off after curing an infection and start to attack the nervous system of the body with a vengeance. This is a nightmare, nasty condition that is thankfully very rare.
There are many books and forums out there that tell the story of GBS experiences. This is a blog that tells our story, of our wife, mother and grandmother Getting Better Slowly.

A Loving Reminder: The Power of Connection
Confession: I am a hermit. Nothing excites my soul more than spending hours with me, myself, and I.
As an empath, my heightened sensitivity can make it challenging to be around others sometimes. I can feel what others are feeling and I pick up on many subtleties. And though this is a blessing when I am working with clients during sessions, classes, and retreats, I find it to be a curse in social situations.
The past few months I have been hermitting more than ever. With a sweet living space at the sea I'm inspired to spend my days writing. In this space of solitude I have truly felt fulfilled. Who needs connection?! Aside from work and the occasional friends I selectively allow into my bubble, I have been happily hermitting. But this is shifting…
The sun was setting. We sat on the porch, eating dinner and conversing about life. We talked about so much that evening I don't even know what to share. I guess I'll begin right before I began to cry.
"What did you mean when you said it can be laborious when you're with me?"
"Every moment with us is rich. We never talk about the movies or anything superficial. You keep shifting my paradigm. I appreciate it, it's refreshing to me. This is the best weekend of my life."
It's interesting that I found his initial comment to be insulting when it was quite the opposite. He was right though, I don't engage in superficial conversations with people. It exhausts me. I rather connect deeply on a soul level. "Oh how things get lost in translation." I thought.
"Really?!" I responded in awe.
He nodded yes and I continued to eat looking into the sunset.
"You know you have to be cautious about how you say things Nik. I know you're honest but it can be borderline sometimes." He said.
"What are you talking about?" I replied.
"Well when you tell me I'm teaching you patience..." He replied with a hint of insult in his tone.
I couldn't help but laugh, "To me that would be a huge compliment! You are one of the most patient people I know. Or at least you appear to be." I replied.
"Another lost in translation." I thought.
He appeared to relax as I explained what I meant by my words, and eventually pleased by the time I finished communicating my accolades to him.
"Do you think I'm not supposed to be "feisty" anymore… you know now since I'm all "spiritual"?" I asked quoting the words mockingly.
"I can't imagine walking around being all peaceful and zen all the time chanting love and peace. That's not me. I know I can answer you impatiently at times, but that's part of who I am. Do I have to change that?" I asked sincerely because I knew I was borderline impatient with him at times when we talked about certain conscious topics.
"It's edge. I appreciate your delivery. It's personality. It's you." He replied.
"Thank you." I replied, feeling unconditionally loved.
"You know I realized I've changed today." I continued,
"I was meditating on the beach earlier, and when I finished, I asked a random man sitting nearby to take my picture. After he did we began talking. The first thing he asked me was if I believe in God. You know the old Nikki would have tried to prove a point. She would have been a bit more provocative, saying I believe in energy and perhaps would have tried to challenge his beliefs to be more of that of oneness. But today I said, 'Sure, I believe in a higher power.' And when he asked if I believe in Jesus I said, 'Of course! He is one of the great symbols of love and compassion along with Mother Mary.' And so I chose to connect with him by finding all of our commonalities and by speaking his language. I chose to focus on ways that bring us together instead of apart."
And then I began to cry.
I began to cry because I was releasing some argumentative part of my being that was no longer serving my life. And as I sobbed, releasing through tears, I felt myself becoming lighter with every breath. I was expanding and new space filled with even more love.
He stayed silent. Holding space. Being the loving, compassionate figure I admire and know him so well to be. There's a reason his nickname is Jesus and it's not just because he looks like him. There is a gentleness and presence about him that make others feel at peace when they are around him. I remember this was exactly how I felt the first time I met him.
"I find I'm changing so fast. Sometimes it can be lonely." I continued to share.
"I know what you mean. I've been doing this alone for some time. At least you have your soul family you've told me about. All of my best friends are dead. It is through their writings that I find solace and connection." He was referring to the enlightened ones–the Buddhas, the Dao, Native American Chiefs, Lao Tzu and countless other teachers who have left us their immortal wisdoms.
It was in this moment that I remembered and felt the power of connection and community.
He was right. The path of the seeker can be a lonely one. For it is a commitment to growth and evolution, self development and service to others above all else. Not everyone is committed to the path, though fortunately any common ground creates connection. Even the simple intention to listen and be present to another human.
It is through connecting with others that I can truly see myself.
In your reflection I see myself.
As I recently shared with you in my Burning Man post (read here), I have discovered the power of community and connection in a whole new light. Over a year ago I wrote a post on the many reasons to have community in our lives (read here), which I still believe. But let's elaborate a bit more on why connection with another human is so important.
Human to human, I look into your eyes and see myself through you, in you, as I reflect back to myself in your eyes. Through your words and compliments, as well as how I feel when I am around you, I see myself. Each and every person is a unique mirror, exposing and reflecting different parts of myself back to me.
Ever wonder why we never experience the same love twice? This is important to realize so that we don't go in search of long lost love never to exist again. Love will be different each and every time depending on the mirror reflecting back at you. The same is true for friendship or any human connection.
Ever notice how in some connections you may be quite hilarious, while in others you're quite boring. It's all about the synergy evoked with the mirror reflecting back to you. For this very reason, we must choose wisely the company we keep. And cherish each unique connection.
Community, and the deep connections within them, are reminders of who we are. Choose to be around those who truly see who you are. Those who smile to see you blossom. Those who inspire new ideas and endeavors, painting your life with more color and excitement.
Most importantly choose those who remind you of who you are when you have forgotten. Because sometimes we forget how badass we are. Really! We get wrapped up in our work, our lives, and our bubble that we forget to take a moment to pat ourselves on the back. Allow community to be the shoulders you stand on.
When we begin to be our authentic self, free of who we think we should be, but rather unapologetically who we are, we begin to attract our tribe. My community, aka my soul family, has been flooding into my life. They exist at Burning Man and around the globe. Regularly I receive messages of gratitude for the impact I have on the lives of others simply because I am me. And I send love and words of encouragement to them as well.
Post Burning Man a camp member hosted a big dinner simply because we, as a community, inspire him. And so we celebrated each other one evening just because. Now this is the power of community and connection. We love and celebrate each other just because!
Every time we connect with another is an opportunity for growth. Every person is a guru (read blog) and thus every encounter is full of lessons if we so choose to be open to learn them and grow.
Sure connection has it's challenges. We are ever perfecting our communication skills, opening to compassion while releasing judgment as we learn more about others as well as ourselves. Some may trigger us, while others help us fly. If committed to love and kindness, we can inspire each other to be better regardless of the differences that arise.
Community is our cheerleader, our family, our playtime, our mastermind group, the perfect brainstorming session, a business idea evoker and collaborator, and so much more. Community can be found anywhere. We find our community when we do what we love, and when we follow our inspirations regardless of what others say.
As we evolve, so too will the closest members of our tribe. A natural cleansing will occur. Out with the old, in with the new. Some will stay and some will go. No hard feelings, of course, as it is all for the highest good.
This weekend, I invite you to follow your inspiration. How we spend our time is reflective of our frequency. Like a boomerang, we attract the vibes we emit out to the world, creating our reality. Be open to try new things and meet new people. Surely you will continue to find your tribe as they are seeking you too. When we do what we love we find the people we love.
And also take a moment to thank those beautiful mirrors in your life right now. Those who have been there for you uplifting your spirits, reminding you just how truly wonderful you are. For it is with gratitude we attract more goodness into everyday. Namaste.

WLAE… We're Local And Effective
I recently had to write a report for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The theme of the report was the local content and programming produced by WLAE. As I delved into the report, I soon began to realize that when you step back and take a look, at WLAE, we produce a large amount of local programming. Adding it all up came to over 10 hours a week. That's over 40 hours a month. That's over 480 hours a year. That's a lot!
How do we accomplish all of this? Having a great staff of dedicated employees sure helps, but partnering with area businesses and organizations really makes all of this possible. Here are three key factors.
Local Value
For over 28 years, WLAE has been an essential part of New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana. Over the years, we have built a reputation for quality content that is both wholesome and trustworthy. The high level of need for accurate, unbiased, community-based programming in our region is critical. WLAE uses its production strengths in the areas of public affairs, health and education to affirm its value to the community.
Local Service
Many of our local programs address the community priorities listed in our strategic plan. From live "call in" shows about healthcare to informative panel discussions with government and civic leaders, WLAE strives to serve the region with content that viewers can use to better their lives.
Local Impact
"The Hello Health partnership between WLAE and Ochsner Hospital has proved very beneficial for our patients and physicians. Not only are we able to reach the public with valuable medical information on television, but also via website streaming and at our community outreach seminars."
Susan M. Piglia, Director, Corporate Wellness at Ochsner
"Working with WLAE has been an enlightening and gratifying experience. Their professionalism is evident on every level, but so is their enthusiasm for the culture and beauty of Louisiana."
Renee Kientz – V.P., Communications St. Tammany Tourist Commission
Be on the lookout for two new local productions coming to WLAE this summer. On Sunday, June 24th, the Go Coast: Louisiana series premieres and on Sunday, August 26th the much anticipated Glory Days – Part II will debut.
Happy Viewing!
Ron Yager
Vice President and General Manager WLAE-TV

Assassination Custard
It's been on my radar for a long time. "You have to try this place, it's amazing" – Emma of Gaillot et Gray (where I worked as a baker) uttered the guts of a year ago. I had been meaning to go when I worked in town but my early start each day left me craving sleep once I finished, so I always headed home instead. I don't regret many things in life but the fact that it took me so long to eat at Assassination Custard is certainly one. I finally had the opportunity when my Mother needed a bit of moral support to drive to the big smoke recently and I had some time to kill.
We're flying up the Long Mile road and being somewhat used to Dublin roads, I'm astounded at the lack of traffic. It's the Tuesday after the Easter Holidays – maybe Dublin hasn't sprung into life just yet. We park the car and go our separate ways, I have an hour and it's a 20 minute walk away. I'll run back if I have to, I have to get there! Luckily Google Map's 20 minutes is more like 10 minutes for a brisk walker like myself and I arrive to a tiny cafe with just 7 seats. It's busy, all but one seat is taken and I squeeze myself between 2 couples at the larger table. Almost immediately, the smaller table beside me frees up so I scoot over; I like to have space to eat.
The menu is presented on a small brown bag but I instantly have a problem – there isn't a single thing I don't want to try! Unfortunately, ordering everything isn't really an option. I settle on the Panelle (Chickpea Fritters) and Kid Goat's Kidneys with Aioli. The Panelle arrive first. They are a revelation – without ever tasting them, I imagined them being rather bland but with a liberal sprinkling of sea salt, they are perfect. So perfect in fact, I order a second portion! Between servings of fritters, my goat kidneys arrive. Still pink, they are so mild and delicate, it's hard to believe they are kidneys at all. They are perfectly seasoned, as is the homemade aioli and the warm bun adds just the right amount of carb goodness. I use my second portion of Panelle to mop up any leftover sauce – I am seriously in my element here.
It wouldn't be a proper lunch without something for dessert. I spot some interesting looking meringues at the counter and enquire. "They're ugly but good" – sold! Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a subtle warming hint of cinnamon, it's the perfect accompaniment to my flat-white. I take a minute to savour my dessert while watching the rain fall outside the window and a couple of minutes later, I'm in it getting soaked, running to catch my lift.
I loved my lunch at Assassination Custard. The owners are friendly, knowledgeable and happy to chat to their customers. The menu is well thought out and changes daily depending on what's available. The cooking is top notch – I would go so far as to say that this is the best lunch I've had in Dublin.
Very Highly Recommended.
