The author of "Insane City" spent his childhood reading "Richie Rich," "Archie" and "Batman" comics: "pretty much anything unlikely to inspire intellectual development."
What was the best book you read last year?
Doris Kearns Goodwin's "Team of Rivals." I'm probably the last person on the planet to read it; I loved the movie "Lincoln" and wanted more. I am awed by the amount of research that went into that book. Most of my research consists of brief Google forays in search of factoids that I can distort beyond recognition.
When and where do you like to read?
I like to read at the beach, but the beach always turns out to be too relaxing, and I fall asleep after two pages. So I wind up doing most of my actual reading at night in bed, where I sometimes get through as many as three pages before I fall asleep.
Who are your favorite authors?
Robert Benchley and P. G. Wodehouse. Also (it goes without saying) Proust.
What's your preferred literary genre? Any guilty pleasures?
I like nonfiction, mostly history. My guilty pleasure is tough-guy-loner action novels, like the Jack Reacher series, where the protagonist is an outwardly rugged but inwardly sensitive and thoughtful guy who, through no fault of his own, keeps having to beat the crap out of people.
If you could require the president to read one book, what would it be?
"The Brothers Karamazov," by Dostoyevsky. I was required to read this book in English class during my freshman year at Haverford College, but I never finished it. I seriously doubt that Dostoyevsky ever finished it. So I figure if the president read it, he could tell me what happens.
Paper or electronic?
Definitely paper. I say this because we authors get smaller royalties on e-book sales. So I'd like to start a rumor that electronic books cause fatal diseases and sometimes explode. This must be true, because it's printed right here in The New York Times.
Who are the funniest writers alive?
Roy Blount Jr., Carl Hiaasen, Steve Martin, Andy Borowitz, Alan Zweibel, Gene Weingarten and Nora Ephron (she's alive in my heart). Also the Onion guys, and the folks who write "South Park," "Modern Family," "The Office," "Parks and Recreation" and "Portlandia." Also a surprising number of Internet commenters.
What's the funniest book you've ever read?
I'm not sure I could pick just one. "The Code of the Woosters" is up there. And "A Confederacy of Dunces" almost made me wet my pants on an airplane.
What makes a good humor book?
The most critical element in any work of humor — this is something Plato talked about — is that at least one of the major characters should be an orangutan.
What were your favorite books as a child? Do you have a favorite character or hero from one of those books? Is there one book you wish all children would read?
I read a lot of comics when I was a kid — "Batman," "Archie," "Richie Rich," pretty much anything unlikely to inspire intellectual development. I bought comics for a dime each at the Armonk Stationery Store and read them walking home. I also bought a lot of mail-order products advertised in the back of the comics, such as the X-ray vision glasses. It turned out that these glasses did not actually give you X-ray vision. But the Joy Buzzer, used properly, was an effective prank device.
Later on I became a big fan of Mad Magazine. I also read (it goes without saying) a lot of Proust. But the books I read most as a child were the Hardy Boys and Tom Swift series. I wish that children would read Tom Swift books today, so they would learn that electricity is a powerful force to be used against evil — as in "Tom Swift and His Photo Telephone" — and not just to download Justin Bieber songs.
You have a 12-year-old daughter. Do you recommend books to her or vice versa? Any recent crossover successes?
I think the last book I recommended that she liked was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." She reads a lot, but she prefers "The Hunger Games" and other works belonging to a genre I would describe as "books that do not generate royalties for her father."
What book had the greatest impact on you? What book made you want to write?
The first time I read a Robert Benchley collection (I don't remember which one it was; my father had a bunch) I thought, "This is what I want to do."
Disappointing, overrated, just not good: what was the last book you hated? Do you remember the last book you put down without finishing?
I'm not a big fan of the "Twilight" series. I can't get past the premise, which is that a group of wealthy, sophisticated, educated, highly intelligent, centuries-old vampires, who can do pretty much whatever they want, have chosen to be . . . high school students. I simply cannot picture such beings sitting in a classroom listening to a geometry teacher drone on about the cosine. I have more respect for vampires than that.
Which of the books you've written is your favorite?
This may seem self-serving and promotional, but it's true: I really like the way "Insane City" came out. It has heart, and — more important — an orangutan.
Are you a rereader? What books in particular do you find yourself returning to, and why?
Maybe someday I'll go back and tackle "The Brothers Karamazov" again, if the president drops the ball.
What's the one book you wish someone else would write?
"Dave Barry: The Greatest Human Ever."

Guide To Buying Property At Auction
1: Source future auctions
Identify all the property lots that interest you and contact the auction house for further information. Do this as early as possible.
2: Viewing
Call the auction house to find out about viewing arrangements. The auctioneer will either take a deposit for the keys and allow you to view the property unaccompanied or they will organise for a local agent to show you around.
3: Finances
Work out how much you can afford i.e. your maximum bid. Estimate your total costs including repairs, decorations, solicitor's fees, surveys, mortgage, removal charges, furnishings and add this to the amount that you will need to borrow.
Remember that if your bid is successful, you will need to put down a 10% deposit immediately. Usually you will also be expected to complete the payment within 28 days, and for this reason you will need to have a solid offer for a mortgage. Arrange this now and inform lenders that you intend to buy at auction.
PRICE INFORMATION: Guides are provided as an indication of each Seller's minimum expectation. They are not necessarily figures at which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to Auction. Unless stated otherwise, each Lot will be offered subject to a reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the Lot during the Auction). The Auctioneer expects the reserve will be set within the guide range or no more than 10% above a single figure guide.
4: Legal
Arrange legal assistance from a solicitor or licensed conveyancer. Legal enquiries from Local Authorities and Land Registries need to be carried out before you bid. Auction houses should normally provide a 'legal pack'. This contains legal documents outlining special conditions of sale and title deeds' details. You may now let the auction house know you are interested in the property and they will keep you informed of any changes relating to the property or the sale.
5: Survey
Lenders will require a valuation survey to be carried out, and if you are worried about the condition of the property you should commission a full survey.
6: Buy prior to auction
If you want to eliminate the risk of being outbid, you can always submit an offer in advance of the auction. If the vendor likes your offer they may accept it and withdraw the property from the auction.
7: Visit an auction sale
Before going to an auction to buy, you can visit an auction sale to see what happens, experience the atmosphere and get an understanding of proceedings.
8: Payment terms and Buyer's I.D.
If you are the successful bidder when an auction sale has finished, you will need to put down a 10% deposit immediately, and so you'll need to know what types of payment the auction house accepts. Some accept personal cheques but most prefer bankers' drafts and building society cheques. Get the amount made out to 10% of your maximum price - if you secure the property for less than this amount the auctioneer will refund you the difference.
Under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, auctioneers are now required to take identification for all buyers. It is necessary to take the identification of those bidding on the basis that one of these parties may go on to become the buyer. Identification should be in the form of the photo page of your passport or photo driving licence. In addition, a utility bill with your name and address on it is required. For those bidding by proxy, you will be asked to email your identification when submitting your completed form.
9: Call ahead
Before you set off for the auction, call the auctioneer to double check that your lot is still going to be offered.
10: Arrive early
This way you will get a seat, hear the auctioneer's announcements and you'll have time to speak to a member of staff if you have any last minute queries. It will also give you time to register your interest to buy.
11: Bidding
When your lot number comes up the auctioneer will announce the address. Double check it's the lot that you have come to buy before you start bidding. When you registered your initial interest to buy you may have been given a card to wave at the auctioneer but you can also use your hand to catch the auctioneer's eye as well.
If the auctioneer receives a bid higher than your own he will return to you in case you wish to better it. He will also warn you when the bid is about to be closed, usually three times "for the first time, for the second time, for the third time and final time – sold!" Remember to stick to your maximum price and do not get carried away.
12: Success
Usually a property will have a reserve and if you meet it the vendor is legally bound to sell to you. You have won if your bid is the highest and the reserve has been met. The next step is to fill in a purchase slip requiring some personal details and the details of your solicitor. After this you will be asked to sign the memorandum of sale, which you will exchange for the vendor's part as soon as it's ready. This is your contract and should be sent straight to your solicitor. You will also be asked for proof of ID and your 10% deposit.
13: Insurance
Once the gavel comes down the property becomes your responsibility. The auction house or your solicitor should be able to advise you.
14: Balance of payments
The balance of payment usually needs to be transferred within 28 days of the auction or the timescale set by the vendor. Remember, if this is not achieved you will forfeit your 10% deposit.

WPF – Loaded event in browser applications
Profile: MarkWPF
This is a slightly strange one to my thinking.
If you have a loaded event in a panel on a page, it will get fired multiple times.
This goes against the behaviour of a WPF application (or Winforms for that matter).
I don't know if the same is true for an Asp.Net forms application, since I haven't done many.
It seems to be using the Loaded event as more of an Activated event.
To see this behaviour easily:
- Create a WPF browser application (xbap)
- Add a tab control
- Add a panel to 1 tab
- Add another panel to another tab
- do something in Loaded event in first tab , eg change colour of the panel
When you click on second tab and back to first tab, the loaded event will be fired again

"Marlaine Verhelst Bio:
My dolls are based on the human anatomy but starting from that point I try to create my own fantasy world: 'Marlaine Verhelst is the creator of a range of fantastic storybook marionettes. She is inspired by the freedom of creating fairy-tales figures which develop in any direction from which her imagination beckons her to follow. Marlaine works in the classic way when forming her heads with slip. The head is made in two parts and hollowed out from the neck and then fired at 12600C. She works without molds, first creating clay models. Inevitably, she says, just as her manipulation of the clay fascinates her into a 'ghost'-like trance, the telephone always rings. One can discover a riot of animal imagery in Marlaine's marionettes, from delicately webbed hands and elaborate headpieces to more elementary Mickey-Mouse-type ears. She has described her working methods in extensively illustrated books published in German and Dutch. 'Ursula and Brigitte Driskell, 'Going Dutch' In: Doll Reader, Oct. 1992, p. 172-179. 'The Dutch had a strong continent of artists highlighted most prominently by the supremely gifted Hennie Koffrie and Marlaine Verhelst. While some may refer to their work as avant-garde, there is no doubting their genius. Their presentations were incredible'
Peter Coe, 'Doll Art Frankfurt-Germany, May 22-23, 1993', In: Contemporary Doll Magazine, Oct. 1993,

Selling a Home You Inherited in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – The reality behind inheriting a home!
If you really need to sell a property you inherited in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma then you've come to the right website !
Have you ever tried to sell an inherited home in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma … I have and let me tell you, it's a lot more difficult than FSBO or Craigslist would have you believe! Read on to learn how to sell a house you inherited in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma …
First of all, there is always that emotional bit of getting a loved one's house ready for sale – which most likely includes depersonalizing his or her rooms and also clearing out all the belongings… Then there is the cost of marketing the house in order to attract potential buyers.
Usually heirs have to deal with the high costs of liens and other issues. Consequently, disagreements may crop up.
Therefore we at Glymph Properties have created a few points that should help steer you in the right direction, if you ever find yourself in such a dilemma. Here are a few tips on how to sell a residence you inherited near Oklahoma City, without driving yourself silly.
Making the probate process go without problems
Get some assistance
The 1st step you should take is to get some professional advice. You ought to understand the status your house is in. Make sure that you verify your ownership. Get assistance from a real estate attorney. Get info from other experts too. And completely utilize our blog and this site too of course. We can also give you a fair deal for your inherited local Oklahoma City, Oklahoma house if it qualifies. Fill out the form here to get started.
Next Step: Begin the probate process in Oklahoma City
In order to put your house on the Oklahoma City market for sale, you have to go through the probate process. Most countries allow for a summary probate – which is just a simple process that takes a very short time and involves less legal processes. Once your house passes the probate process in Oklahoma City, you can then put it on the market.
Don't forget about the taxes
The tax basis of your property is the house value on the date that the person who willed you died. The difference between the amount you realize from the sale and the value is basically the gain on which you owe the taxes.
How to sell a house you inherited in Oklahoma City
Agreeing to sell
If you are ready to sell your house in Oklahoma City, you can inform the executor to petition the court in order to get the "go ahead" sign and proceed with the sale from the there. Problems always arise when siblings who share the inheritance have different views – for instance others may want to sell the house while others may not be for the idea. Having "multiple fingers in the same pie" always complicate matters, so remember communication is key. When discussing a situation where everyone's opinion affects the outcome the best advice we can offer is… the words you use matter, the tone with which you say those words matter, and your body language definitely matters. Be open, be considerate, and be courteous. In either case…if and when disagreements occur, it is important to "disagree to agree". It is also important to involve your estate lawyer in this stage.
Preparing to sell
A house that belonged to an elderly person may require repairs and a bit of updating before you can sell it. You will need to get rid of everything! You can choose to hire an inspector to note down potential issues and recommend possible repairs. Although you can sell a home in Oklahoma City "as is" you may be forced to accept a lower price, especially if your house requires extensive repairs or cleaning.
Here at Glymph Properties however, we will always give you a fair deal and help you get as much value from your inherited house as possible. We often times buy local houses in Oklahoma City, repair and fix them up and either rent them out or sell them to someone else looking for a great deal.

What do you think? Did you see a diaper bag that suits your style? We have to admit that the range of prices (especially how expensive some of the are!) really surprised us. It's clear that your diaper bag no longer needs to be purely utilitarian and indelibly baby-fied. Most of these are barely discernible (if at all) from the oversized bags you see on the pages of magazines these days – which means your diaper bag can have a life beyond your baby's early years. And that's something any fashionista can appreciate.

A fair question, since they are two CMS platforms following significantly different philosophies regarding the way they manage content. What they share, though, is that they're both based on the Microsoft .NET Framework, (ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC), use SQL Server as their (default) database engine, and they are two of the best and most popular CMS platforms developed on these technologies. Creating a custom website using the .NET Framework is a fascinating experience. We have been working with ASP.NET, C# and SQL Server more years than we dare to admit so this was a very easy choice.

KALININGRAD, Russia (Reuters) - Nigeria suffered from a bit of growing pains on Saturday when the young Super Eagles were schooled in set pieces by Croatia who shot to the top of Group D with a 2-0 win in their World Cup opener.
One of the youngest teams in the tournament with an average of just over 26, the Super Eagles displayed plenty of youthful energy but some of it was misplaced during a physical clash that allowed Croatia to score from set pieces.
A veteran Croatia side put their experience to good use as Luka Modric, featuring in his third World Cup, played a part in both of their goals.
Modric scored a second half penalty to secure the win after Croatia went ahead through a first half own goal by Nigeria midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo which flowed in from a corner kick by the Real Madrid midfielder.
"When you lose a match it is something we don't like but we recognize that Croatia had the better team tonight and my young players made some mistakes," said Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr. "The first goal is coming on a corner, the second one also on a corner and a penalty.
"I think these young players need time to learn, sometime they were a little bit naive on the set pieces but we will work on it."
Nigeria next face an even smaller soccer nation with big ambitions when they next meet Iceland in a match that could determine which team advances.
Tiny Iceland sent a shock through the World Cup earlier on Saturday when they battled twice champions Argentina to a 1-1 draw.
"We have to accept this defeat and now we have to win against Iceland, all is possible still," said Rohr. "If we win the next game all is possible for the qualification.
"We were satisfied with the organization of the team defensively but we didn't have so many opportunities to score.
"You need to make at least four points if you want to be qualified, nothing is lost all is in our hands so let's be positive we believe we can do it.
"We have the youngest team in the world at this World Cup, let them learn from this match.
"I think we can do better than what we did today."

Pagan Prayer Beads
Different Styles of Prayer BeadsClick thumbnail to view full-size
Make Your Own Prayer Beads
Meditation and Prayer Focus
At a recent gathering, I got into a discussion with several other women about mediation and prayer, and it wasn't too long before the words "pagan prayer beads" were thrown out in the conversation. It's funny how as a bunch of witches, we had to specify that they were "pagan" but it reminded me that often people don't think of prayer beads as being something a person of Pagan-orientation might use as a spiritual aid.
Each of us who had this conversation had something we'd made by stringing items together, most often including beads. These were items that went beyond the occasional power piece and were things that were used regularly for private spiritual work. The creation and handcrafting of them was frequently cited as being a significant moment of spiritual meditation or awakening and all had become cherished items.
What the strings of prayer beads were made from was as eclectic a mix as you could imagine. Hand-crafted carvings and formed ceramics, given beads and tokens, and found objects all were woven together and connected. One woman especially made sure that all the beads she strung together felt distinctly different as well as looking different from each other. She often used her prayer beads as a mediation aid when she couldn't sleep and her beads were all identifiable to her by touch in the dark. Many of her beads represent friends and family for which she says prayers and she knows every single person's bead the instant she touches it.
Making & Using Pagan Prayer Beads
- Pagan Prayer Beads « Sui Generis
Creating Your Own Witch's Rosary
- Pagan Prayer Beads
I first ran across the use of prayer beads in the contemporary American Pagan community quite by chance.
How to Knot a Bead String
How Prayer Beads Are Used
Christian prayer beads are called rosaries, and they are necklaces that incorporate prayer beads and a cross. Buddhists also have prayer beads, and there's are carved from fragrant wood and strung on a red string to be carried or worn on the wrist. There are even Muslim prayer beads called Misbaha, and they are used to count the names of Allah. Many traditions and cultures made every day necklaces or ritual jewelry that represented prayers or mantras.
The bead work as a memory tool, which each most often representing a type of prayer to be recited. By feeling along the string of beads, the person can focus on the saying or thinking of their prayers and the beads do the automatic counting or tracking of recitations for you. With each bead you feel, you can say a mantra or a prayer, or think of an affirmation or a key word to focus your mental state or intentions.
Share Your Experiences with Prayer Beads!
I was surprised when the book "Pagan Prayer Beads" was first published; it seemed an unlikely subject. But I have been persuaded that this is a great topic for Pagan study.
While not a pagan myself, Orthodox Baha'i, we use prayer beads, and I found your article enlightening.
I don't use beads, I do make beads out of rose petals and lavender as they have significance to my love life and lavender boosts anything you do. However I find prayer beads to be a little too much when it comes down to ritual.
I love prayer beads!
I made some for myself just a few days ago. I included items that were given to me by other Pagans, items dedicated to my ancestors and spirit allies, and a parts of a bracelet made for me by a WW2 veteran. I also included a small feather found on a nature walk. The beads themselves are gemstones.
Prayer beads are great and I hope all those reading who decide to make some have fun in the process!
Love all your witchcraft hubs. It's a subject I'm interested in learning more about, and into which I have dipped over the years. More please!
Well written and an excellent article. thank you.
This was great! I saw the book "Pagan Prayer Beads: Magic and Meditation with Pagan Rosaries" at a book store a few weeks ago and I was positively drooling over it.
Thank you for your wonderfully informative article!
interesting hub.
These Pagan prayer beads seem very personal and unique...I'm hunting some down - or - since they're so personalized, I'm with Pagan Crafter above and am going to select my next beads very carefully with this hub/prayer beads idea in mind.
Interesting and informative material. Thanks for sharing.
The possibilities would seem almost endless here, and prayer beads have been around for a long long time.I personally don't use them, but I used to.
cool. I find prayer beads fascinating.
Angel blessings.
I love this hub. It's inspiring me as a crafter to consider making my own string of prayer beads. I especially loved the part about the woman who knew each person's bead by touch, they were that distinctive. That is an idea I'd love to incorporate into my own, and will give my search for new beads a good deal of meaning. :) Thank you so much for writing this!
Really something I never knew about! I have been familiar with the Rosary, and Muslim beads, but never the 'Pagan' variety. Very nicely written with lots of good links to further explore! :)
Thanks, I've only seen them on people and didn't think to ask, or feel comfortable asking, about them.
Prayer and meditation are often used as one, but by some are considered quite different. In my tradition, as in many, we say that prayer is when we talk to God and Meditation is when we listen to God.
The talking is easy - just start talking and express your wish. The listening is a whole different story - quite the mind so the chatter and natural talking shuts up and you can listen with your full being; heart and soul. Quieting the chatter of what is often called the "monkey mind" from jumping all over the place can be quite a challenge when not used to doing it. That is where prayer beads can come in.
I greatly appreciate that you included the Christian prayer beads in your discussion. Most people either chose to forget or most likely never though of the fact that the rosary was initially a meditation devise that helped the user clear the mind of worldly issues by repetition of a memorized set of prayers. Equally, most non Catholics forget, or don't realize that at one time all Christians were either Catholics or Essines (which is no longer recognized by any Christian church tradition) so in that sense all Christians today come from the tradition of using prayer beads.
It is much like the "pagan" ritual of walking the labyrinth. The New Thought tradition Unity church in Dallas and another in Austin that have had labyrinths for many years have been joined by a large and conservative Baptist church in Waco and a progressive Episcopalian church in Dallas. Both of these mainstream Christian churches now have permanent labyrinths on their property. Labyrinths are for a meditative walk, just as beads are often used as an aid in meditation.
I'll end with a question. Are the beads worn on the wrist by the Sufi what you would call the Mala?


text: Share: Comments Print March 30, 2013 at 6:02 AM Housing market tuns around, surprises industry Posted by Letters Coordinator Boom is bust for buyers I have been following recent news coverage of the "reviving" housing market with considerable and growing dismay, because invariably there is a built-in bias favoring sellers and related industries over homebuyers ["Bust to boomlet: Housing turnaround stuns industry," News, March 21]. It may be fine for house flippers, investors and tract builders to continue to push prices upward, but for buyers it is a disaster, regardless of the harder-than-ever-to-get low mortgage rates. We have friends who have been house hunting for months now, and have pre-approval and the means to make a substantial down payment. But there is no inventory, because the banks have been sitting on their growing stock of foreclosed and real estate-owned properties for several years now, in a successful ploy to push prices higher. As a result, every time a buyer finds a house and makes a full price offer, he finds him or herself already out of the running, as investors and flippers muscle him or her out of the way with cash offers, many of them from overseas. By far, most of the houses now available other than new construction (10 houses per acre now, with no land, no privacy and long travel distances) are short sales. And those, too, have multiple offers. So please start reporting how it is from the buyer's perspective, which is disastrous. –Gene Ayres, Lake Forest Park Comments | More in Business, Economy, Housing market

I Love Lightning

I swear, I feel the air cool every time I watch this.
5 Responses to "I Love Lightning"
I love lightening too!
As-Salaamu 'alaikum,
I love the clean air smell you get after a lightning storm.
But it's often frightening. I once cycled home from Kingston in pouring rain, thunder and lightning. That was scary as the sky kept lighting up around me. Last Sunday, we had thunder here in London and it was so loud about 6:30am that it sounded like a bomb was going off, and hurt my ears as my window was open as it usually is in the summer.
I was pretty sure it was last Sunday because that was also the day my modem packed up.

Tilted Kilt Coming To The New Bloomfield Center | Essex County
Arrival Of National Brand Signals Bloomfield Redevelopment Success
Regardless which way the Scottish vote goes, one thing is for certain: the Tilted Kilt is coming to Bloomfield Center as a part of the Bloomfield Renaissance.
Known for it's scantily clad waitresses in tartan, Tilted Kilt has often been called a "Breastaurant" because of the attire, or lack there of, of the serving staff. Yes, the whole thing is titillating. Puns done. So what else is there to tell.
Bloomfield has seen a revival in the last few years. Construction at Bloomfield College coupled with a new parking deck, new commercial development plus new housing has revived the downtown area that includes Bloomfield College, Broad Street, Washington Street, and Glenwood Ave. It was during the early days of the redevelopment that we first discovered Anthony's Cheesecake and that obsession has remained with me every since.
Tilted Kilt is planned for the project that borders Washington and Glenwood. This same project will also include retail and housing, as well as a Foodtown supermarket. If you have not been to a Foodtown market recently, be sure to visit the one on Rt 23 in Cedar Grove to get an idea of what to expect. The Bloomfield Tilted Kilt location is one of 27 that are in the works, the chain has over 90 other establishments including one in Wayne.
The Tilted Kilt's story is best told by the company itself, from their webpage:
While the Tilted Kilt concept has its roots deep in the rousing tradition of Scottish, Irish and English Pubs, it actually first came to life in America's own sin city, Las Vegas. The brainchild of successful restaurateur Mark DiMartino, Tilted Kilt was conceived to be a contemporary, Celtic-themed sports Pub staffed with beautiful servers in sexy plaid kilts and matching plaid bras.
To launch his enticing creation, DiMartino assembled a stellar management team consisting of Shannon Reilly – a free spirit and conspiracy theorist, and John Reynaud – a great guy and aspiring golf pro.
The winning concept was an instant success and gained national and global exposure because of its Las Vegas location. Although Tilted Kilt wasn't originally created to be a franchise, it wasn't long before it caught the eye of Ron Lynch, an experienced and savvy restaurant and franchise developer. In addition to his vast restaurant franchising experience, Ron Lynch stood a towering 6'6" tall, which made him a figure the team could literally look up to.
Both parties agreed that Tilted Kilt had a broad, far-reaching appeal with a very real chance to gain success and a loyal following in multiple regions. In moving forward, their first step was to relocate the Tilted Kilt headquarters to Tempe, Arizona, where it is still based today.
Now, with locations far and wide across the country and many more scheduled to open, Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery continues to lift spirits and joyously reaffirm that "A Cold Beer Never Looked So Good."®
The folks at Tilted Kilt don't know it yet, but Black Tie And Flip Flops is going to push them to become sponsors of Bloomfield Restaurant Week and Taste of Bloomfield in 2016!
As details emerge, and we wander the area while on a cheesecake adventure, they will be shared.

I took the laptop down and pulled out every bottle and entered it into a listing organized by year and then just alphabetized. The document shows the name of the wine, the area / state or province / the grapes and alcohol content, and the number of bottles I have. If I had some data on it, I also included a drink or hold until 20xx notation. Then I put them all back in and noted on a print-out where each one was located in our under-the-stairway-to-the-basement wine storage area.
So, I realized I had some stuff that we should drink and decided that the 20th century had to go! We opened a 1993 chat d Pape and let it settle and breathe for an hour. The cork came out easily and was bloodied about half-way, but smelled fine. The wine was a bit murky, so we decanted it and watched for sediment. Then we let it set for about fifteen minutes to settle again and poured a bit in three glasses. We were hoping for a killer wine, of course. First taste, okay but not meeting our high expectations. But each taste was better. The wine went from seeming a bit thin to being just fine. We noted tastes of smoke, morel, leather, and "a low laying fog over the vineyard in fall."
Bottom line: it was fine, we enjoyed drinking it, but be careful if you have any this old and I say drink it tonight!
P.S. I advise anyone who has allowed their wine stash to get a bit unorganized to go through and handle it and list it. We still have a '95 Bordeaux merlot, some '98 Bordeaux blends, and a '99 Longobardi to finish off before 2014 arrives. You may be surprised what YOU have lurking down there! Share it with a good friend or two.

Built in valuations, drinking windows, professional/community tasting notes, searchability, report generating, drinkability chart, follow your buying/drinking habits by date, dollar, variety, country, region, appellation etc, etc, etc...
So whose Chateauneuf du Pape did you open? You narrowed it down to about 1,000 possibilities from '93.
- Reply by Gregory Dal Piaz, Dec 9, 2013.
Fantastic advise. I'm overdo for a cellar clean out and a cellar cull party! Maybe February!
Sometime you are surprised on the upside but those lost bottles. This is also a great opportunity to look for bottles that may have begun to sweep some wine. Better to drink them up at first notice when they are most likely still fine than let them succumb to father time.
- Reply by GregT, Dec 10, 2013.
Yep, better to drink on the way up rather than on the way down. And you just know some wines aren't made to age anyway.
Mjapka - no idea where you get your drinking windows from, but the only ones I trust any more are my own. No matter who it comes from, it's a guess at best. Sometimes the person knows the wine and winemaker for many years and can make a better guess than at other times, but don't always count on that. For my money, Chateauneuf is always better young than old - it's the rare bottle that actually improves with time. Some stay on very well - I had a 1989 Rayas that was wonderful a couple years ago, but I'm not sure it wasn't just the same as it was when it was younger - didn't really seem to have evolved much, although it was still delicious.
For the most part however, I'd drink them younger and that goes for most warm-climate wines, although I know that's a broad statement. And in the case of the 1993, it wasn't the greatest vintage in CdP, so I'm surprised it showed much at all. Anyhow, drink up!! Cheers!
- Reply by Richard Foxall, Dec 13, 2013.
GdP, you'll need a longer month than February. How about something closer to my kids' Spring Break? ;-)
I think most folks are drinking their wines too young, but not our OP. That's a problem I wish I had. Most of my wines that are really promising could use a little more time, IMO. I don't treat the windows on CT as gospel, but many are put in by the makers, who probably have some interest in the wines showing their best. (Of course, they could just do like the Spaniards and finally Latour and just not release them so young.) That said, I wouldn't wait to open the first bottle of a wine until the middle of its window, I'd start at the beginning, or within a year. In general, I think CdP isn't really built for the long haul, although makers who blend well can overcome the inherent weakness of grenache for aging.
I second the reco of CT--it's the easiest way I have found for cellar info. This place works for social and articles, but CT is really easy for inventory. Plus you can sneak a peek at what your friends have and arrange trades and joint purchases. Not sure it's a plus, but CT can also let you know how much money you have tied up in wine and what you are spending.

Which Chateauneuf was it?That is a wine which should be capable of aging

Peacekeepers Failed to Stop a Horrific Assault on Aid Workers in South Sudan
Soldiers targeted foreigners and help was not at hand
WIB front August 19, 2016 Peter Dörrie 1
South Sudan was supposed to continue implementing its peace accord in early July, but starting on July 7, government and opposition forces clashed in the capital Juba, continuing a civil war that started in 2013.
Now the Associated Press has published the harrowing account of a July 11 attack on civilians which took place in the upscale "Terrain" residential compound — in the direct vicinity of a United Nations base staffed by armed peacekeepers.
The attack included the execution of a journalist while other victims were forced to watch, multiple rapes and sexual assaults, as well as beatings, looting and mock executions. It was a brutal — but sadly common — form of violence committed by all sides in the country's civil war.
What got the attention of the AP in this case were some of the victims — dozens of international aid workers, who lived in the compound and repeatedly called for help from the United Nations and their respective embassies, including the U.S. embassy, during the attack.
That help wasn't forthcoming.
The suffering of victims is not special because of their skin color or passport. As noted above, attacks on civilians — including wanton rape and murder — are common in South Sudan's conflict, and the overwhelming number of victims are locals in the remote countryside without access to help or medical attention.
But the attack on the Terrain compound showcases two disturbing dynamics in South Sudan's interdependent circles of violence. First, there was the hatred and mistrust of outsiders perceived as meddling in the country's affairs and supporting the "enemy," and the continued incapability of the international community to protect civilians — locals and expats — from harm.

The AP's report alleges that government forces were responsible for the attack, citing a victim that described the soldiers as wearing the insignia of the presidential guard.
An army spokesman didn't confirm or deny this, but called the allegations premature. "Everyone is armed, and everyone has access to uniforms and we have people from other organized forces, but it was definitely done by people of South Sudan and by armed people of Juba."
But South Sudanese government representatives, including Pres. Salva Kiir, have voiced their displeasure with the international presence in the country before. In 2014, bodyguards of the information minister threatened U.N. staff when they were denied entry to a refugee camp because they were armed.
Kiir later accused the U.N. of wanting to "be the government of South Sudan."
The soldiers who attacked the Terrain singled out U.S. citizens, according to the AP. The assailants beat one American for around an hour before releasing him with the instructions to "tell your embassy how we treated you," after they verified his U.S. citizenship.
Several survivors told the news agency that the attackers specifically asked if they were American, with one soldier raging "you messed up this country. You're helping the rebels. The people in the U.N., they're helping the rebels."
In most African conflicts, this type of targeted attack on members of the international community is unusual. While radical Islamists are the obvious exception, most government and rebel forces try at least not to anger powerful Western governments, being fully aware of potential repercussions such as embargoes, asset freezes or having to face an international court.
In the case of the attack on the Terrain, the scale and organization makes the determination to harm outsiders even more striking.
While much of the report describes the soldiers as being intoxicated and on a rampage, there was also clearly a chain of command present, with certain individuals being able to order soldiers to stop attacks.
It is unlikely that a band of low-ranking soldiers would target a high-profile location like the Terrain without explicit backing from their commanding officers. The South Sudanese government was also unable or unwilling to stop the attack when it was contacted by U.N. and U.S. officials.
There are two possible explanations for this unusual level of hostility and violence against the international community. Either the government, including Kiir, has decided to view the international presence as an existential threat toward his regime, or the government has lost control over its troops who perceive the outsiders as being responsible for their country's troubles.
There are indications of both, but the bottom line is that Kiir's regime should be considered incapable at best and actively obstructing the peace process at worst. Kiir is coming under increased pressure in the wake of the July fighting, in which his forces have committed the majority of atrocities.
Based on a U.S. proposal, the United Nations has increased the mandate of its mission from 12,000 to 16,000 soldiers, with plans to stand up a Regional Protection Force drawn from African armies and modeled after the Force Intervention Brigade in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

But the international community's renewed interest in South Sudan shouldn't distract from its failings. Human Rights Watch accused the U.N. mission, which is authorized to protect civilians from harm, to have been unprepared for the violence in early July and ineffectual in its response.
In several cases, U.N. soldiers stood idle while government soldiers targeted civilians in plain view of their positions. The peacekeepers made no attempt to venture outside their camps, leaving victims like those at the Terrain — which is situated less than a mile from a U.N. base — at the mercy of their attackers.
Asked for comment, U.N. spokesperson Yasmina Bouziane told War Is Boring that the United Nations takes attacks on civilians and the Terrain compound "extremely seriously."
The United Nations has launched investigations both concerning the behavior of armed groups, as well as the (non)actions of its own forces, according to Bouziane.
"The Force Commander re-confirmed standing orders stating that UNMISS Force is authorized to take all necessary means, up to and including the use of deadly force, to prevent and deter sexual violence against IDPs under the Mission's protection of civilians mandate, and civilians in imminent danger anywhere in South Sudan."
Bouziane also noted the "immensely challenging and non-permissive security environment in which UNMISS and other international actors operated in during the recent fighting, and which the Mission still faces, was and is placing severe limitations on the Mission's ability to conduct extractions of personnel in harm's way."
The spokesperson promised the U.N. will revisit "its contingencies plans and procedures in order to adapt them to the prevailing security situation."
Not mentioned but important in this context is that several Chinese peacekeepers lost their lives in the fighting while guarding U.N. bases, and that thousands of civilians have found shelter in U.N. camps since fighting broke out in 2013.
Still, given the United Nations' track record not only in South Sudan, it would be foolish to expect a swift change in the way that civilians receive — or rather do not receive — protection. And international personnel shouldn't get their hopes up that their own government will come to their help, either.
When asked about the response of the U.S. embassy in Juba, which was alerted to the attack on American citizens within minutes, State Department spokesperson Elizabeth Trudeau said that the embassy personnel "actively responded" to the calls for help.
But when pressed for details, she came clear that this "active response" consisted of the ambassador making "several" phone calls to the South Sudanese government and the United Nations.
The embassy itself was "not in a position" to intervene, according to Trudeau.
The State Department has had a travel warning discouraging U.S. citizens from travel to the South Sudan. The warning explicitly states that travelers are responsible for their own "contingency plans prior to arrival to ensure their safety and security" since at least December 2015.
Still, for those trusting in the cavalry coming to safe the day, be it in the form of U.N. peacekeepers protecting civilians, or U.S. personnel looking after Americans in a volatile and conflict-prone country, think again.

Business trip: Copenhagen
Ranked as the easiest place in Europe to do business, this compact, walkable and easy-to-navigate Danish city might be the best city in the world for a work trip.
Copenhagen may be the best city in the world for a business trip.
It is compact, walkable and easy to navigate. The travel time between the airport and city centre is just 15 minutes via easy, frequent rail links. Its upscale hotel stock is plentiful, varied, well-maintained and design-inspired. Fine dining and entertainment options abound. And while English is widely spoken, most residents possess a firm command of three or four other languages.
Despite its laid-back reputation (and the presence of an amusement park in the heart of the city), Copenhagen is very serious about business. For example, the World Bank's Doing Business 2013 Index ranked Denmark as the easiest place in Europe to do business for the second year in a row. Companies are drawn to the southernmost Scandinavian country for its sound infrastructure, innovative thinking and efficient government, leading investment bank Goldman Sachs to recently state that Denmark has the highest commercial success potential of any country in the world, thanks to these factors.
Most visitors' first impressions are formed when stepping off the plane and onto the homey hardwood floors at compact Copenhagen Airport, which has ranked as Europe's most efficient for eight of the last 10 years by the Airport Research Society. SAS Scandinavian Airlines is the flag carrier of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and Copenhagen Airport is its primary hub, offering nonstop flights to points across northern Europe and around the world plus a bright two-storey business class lounge.
Also known among locals as simply Kastrup, (the name of a nearby suburb) the airport is located 8km south of city centre, and is connected to the city, suburbs and outlying regions by both metro and rail links. Fares to city centre by S-train or Metro are 36 Danish kroner each way. S-trains depart from Terminal 3 every 10 minutes during the day for the 15-minute trip to Copenhagen Central Station.
Automated Metro trains depart as often as every four minutes during the day, and make multiple stops along the Airport metro line. Taxis take about 20 minutes to reach the city centre (depending on traffic) and cost about 250 Danish kroner; credit cards are accepted.
Copenhagen's Metro system is in the middle of a massive upgrade and expansion, adding two new lines and 17 new stations, so be prepared for detours around gritty, noisy construction sites on city streets and squares. When complete in 2018, the state-of-the-art system will carry 130 million passengers a year, greatly reducing vehicular traffic and making streets safer for the 40% of Copenhageners who commute by bicycle.
The beloved, neo-classical Hotel d'Angleterre reopened in May 2013 after a two-year, down-to-the-studs renovation resulting in 60 expansive suites and 30 standard rooms. The ornate, sugar-white building is located in the heart of town next to the Royal Danish Theatre Old Stage on Kongens Nytorv Square and connected to the famous Strøget pedestrian shopping street. Even if you cannot afford to stay here (rates start at around 2,900 Danish kroner per night), stop by the hotel's trendy champagne bar Balthazar or dine at its classy Nordic/French Marchal restaurant where you will rub shoulders with local or visiting dignitaries, celebrities and socialites.
For a refined, boutique hotel experience, check out the 17-room Nimb hotel, located across the street from the Central Station, and adjacent to the famous Tivoli Gardens amusement park. All rooms were renovated in 2009 and feature elegant four-poster beds, wooden floors, fireplaces, Bang & Olufsen audiovisual systems and views through arched Moorish windows to the gardens. Any of Nimb's four restaurants are perfect for entertaining clients or colleagues.
The historic waterfront Admiral Hotel opened as a grain warehouse in 1787 and was converted into a 366-room, six-storey hotel in 1978. The popular hotel is both modern and rustic, with hulking exposed Pomeranian pine beams in all public areas and most rooms. Key to the hotel's popularity is its central location on the harbour, with dramatic views of the striking new Royal Opera House. It is also near most embassies and the stately, Rococo Amalienborg Palace, the official residence of Denmark's Queen Margrethe II. Soak up waterfront views while dining on new Nordic cuisine at Salt, the hotel's Terance Conran-designed restaurant.
Copenhagen is home to what is likely the world's first "edgy" hotel, the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, designed and built in 1960 by Arne Jacobsen, one of Denmark's most celebrated architects and designers. The meticulously maintained 260-room, olive-green, glass and steel high rise is an icon of mid-century modern design, including Jacobsen's famously curvaceous swan or egg chairs. The hotel offers a variety of rooms at various price points, but the best are the "Royal Club Rooms" on upper floor corners with sweeping views across the city out to the Baltic Sea, or across the street into Tivoli Gardens. The hotel is located a block from the city's Central Station and on the edge of the Vesterbro district, one of Copenhagen's hottest new neighbourhoods.
Sustainability is key at the 366-room Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers, conveniently situated between the airport and city in the modern planned district of Ørestad. The shiny black 25-storey tower is sheathed in solar cells, which provide 15% of the hotel's electricity. Rooms are well appointed and modern, wi-fi is free throughout and guests can decline housekeeping service in exchange for a free meal at Storm, the hotel restaurant, which features organic produce sourced from a radius of less than 300km.
Nearby in ��restad is the unusually trapezoidal and bright-white Bella Sky Comwell Hotel (with 812 rooms, it is the largest hotel in Scandinavia), which is integrated into the new Bella Convention Centre, one of Europe's largest exhibition centres.
Expense account
Business travellers are certain to hear about Noma, perhaps Copenhagen's most famous restaurant as it is frequently ranked as one of best in the world Perfectly prepared and presented simple dishes, such as fresh milk curd and blueberry preserves; onion and fermented pears; or beef rib with lingonberries, have earned it two prestigious Michelin stars. That kind of notoriety means that reservations must be made months in advance.
Luckily there are several new alternatives offering a taste of the upscale "New Nordic" cuisine that Noma pioneered, several of which have earned Michelin stars of their own. For example, the popular Geranium, with beautiful views from its centre city eighth-storey location, has two Michelin stars. As a matter of fact in 2012, 13 restaurants in Copenhagen earned one or more Michelin stars—the most ever.
At Kadeau in the Christianshavn neighbourhood, the menu is dictated by fresh seasonal produce, meat or seafood from the nearby island of Bornholm, and most wines are organic or biodynamically produced. For a taste of summer, try the delicate flavours of a deep green dish combining leeks, skate, sorrel and fermented pea juice decorated with nasturtium leaves, or roasted turbot with green strawberries, burnt butter and whey. For dessert, try the unusual creamy combination of strawberries, buttermilk, white asparagus, rosehip and elderflower. And do not pass on the chewy, crusty house-made multigrain breads brought warm to the table.
Impress your guests with some of the finest Italian cuisine outside Italy at Era Ora, located canal-side in a 300-year-old building in Christianshavn. All ingredients – from salt, cheese and tomatoes to olive oil, lamb and flour – are flown in weekly from Italy. Block off at least three or four hours for a meticulously prepared and presented multi-course culinary adventure (set menu only; no a la carte). Groups of no more than 12 should request a reception or meal in the well-stocked wine cellar or a specially prepared feast served in the rustic private dining room located next door.
Off the clock
Copenhagen's newest attraction is The Blue Planet, Northern Europe's largest aquarium. The impressive modernist building (which looks like a giant metal seashell) is located on the water's edge about 5km, 15 minutes by taxi or bus, southeast of downtown. While you queue to enter, peer out at the Øresund Strait, and see the Middelgrunden Wind Farm twirling in the distance (which supplies about 4% of Copenhagen's electricity). You can also see the magnificent 8km Oresund Bridge that connects Copenhagen with the Swedish city of Malmo.
Go local
To truly feel like a local, jump on a bicycle and join thousands of Copenhageners on their way to work or school, shopping, picking up kids, or simply enjoying a sunny day in what is likely the most bicycle-friendly city in the world. There are about 350km of bike lanes in Copenhagen. Inquire at your hotel about bicycle rental or sharing programs.
When bicycling is not an option, consider renting an electric car – a perfect way to check out sites beyond the city centre or off the beaten path. Best of all, parking is free for electric cars in Copenhagen as the city pursues a plan to be carbon neutral by 2025.
Don't do this
Do not eat sandwiches with your hands in Copenhagen. For a typical Danish lunch, ask around for the nearest restaurant serving smorrebrod, the open-faced sandwiches considered comfort food by most Danes. Smorrebrod consists of a bottom layer of buttered dark rye bread topped with anything from pickled herring, cheese, cold cuts, pate or mayonnaise-based salads. Eat it with a knife and fork accompanied by a small glass of local snaps (aquavit) or a local beer such as Carlsberg. Chef Adam Aamann is generally credited with elevating smorrebrod to a culinary art and bringing it to the world at his eponymous restaurants in Copenhagen and New York City.

Your Movies. Like You've Never Seen Them.View Products
Building a company "we could all be proud of" was the genesis of Kaleidescape. "We literally gathered the founders with a singular vision of building a company we personally would want to work for," notes founder and chairman, Michael Malcolm.
"And we landed on the concept of delivering a quality motion picture experience throughout the home."
The concept for Kaleidescape was born in early 2001, just after Michael Malcolm had a state-of-the art theater installed in his Colorado home. A small group of seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneurs brainstormed the best way to serve up a rich cinematic experience in the home.
Kaleidescape's founders began to research everything they could about the motion picture business, licensing, and the technology of digital audio and video to bring their audacious goal to life. This led to their design of the Kaleidescape architecture, several innovative hardware appliances, and the purpose-built software for these products known as kOS — the Kaleidescape Operating System.
"At the outset we realized the Internet would eventually be the delivery vehicle for movies. But we also realized that practical Internet delivery of high definition movies would be a long time coming, and shiny discs would need to suffice until then," says Malcolm. "After considerable study we discovered that with carefully designed hardware and software we could build a legal system that enables customers to copy their movies to hard disks for immediate playback anywhere in the home. This discovery led to the first Kaleidescape System which we introduced in 2003."
Today, the Kaleidescape experience is unrivaled. The company is known for its unwavering dedication to quality, innovation and customer service, and its unique movie server architecture. Kaleidescape Systems are installed in the finest homes and yachts around the globe. The company has also built and maintains one of the largest and most complete databases of information describing movies and music.
"Technology and innovation are at the heart of Kaleidescape," notes Cheena Srinivasan, founder and chief executive officer. "But our real satisfaction comes from seeing the impact we have on our customers' lives. They enjoy more time with their families, reconnect with their favorite movies and music, and truly enjoy their content throughout their homes."
Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, with research and development by Kaleidescape Canada, Inc., based in Waterloo, Ontario, Kaleidescape's award-winning products can be purchased around the world through its network of custom-installation dealers and distributors.
