'Give and take' is part and parcel of any relationship. Until you learn to adjust and make your relationship work, you cannot expect your relationship to prosper. However, this should not mean that you give up your own well-being and happiness just to make your partner feel satisfied and happy with the relationship.
How much to compromise in a relationship?
In order to make your better half feel cherished and loved, some sort of accommodation in the relationship is necessary. Voluntarily and willingly if you compromise on certain things then it will obviously make you feel good and help make your relationship successful. However, you are a human being and not a saint. If you are not appreciated for the adjustments you make in your life just to be with your partner, then getting frustrated at some point of time is understandable.
Coexisting with each other in a harmonious state should be the goal of your relationship. You both should complement and complete each other. For this, you both have to learn to make compromises. Small compromises to allow your relationship to function smoothly are appreciable and required from time to time. It is when you start adjusting and giving up your core beliefs, desires, wants, ideas and needs which define you as a person that the strong foundation of your relationship starts to crumble.
Remember that you have to know when it is right to compromise and when it is right to take your own stand in a relationship. You do not have to lose yourself completely in the process of accommodating the whims and fancies of your partner. Being true to yourself will allow you to guide yourself properly in the relationship.
12 things you should never compromise with in a relationship
The defining quality of a prosperous relationship is compromise. But drawing the lines is extremely necessary, because compromise in the context of a relationship does not mean giving up being the person you are. It basically means developing a relationship based on appreciation, suitable adjustments, kindness, respect, and trust. Compromise has to be balanced and fair in a relationship.
No doubt that the success of your relationship depends on compromise. Getting along with your partner requires believing in your partner and yourself. You love each other, because of which working according to the wishes of your loved one is the right thing to do. But this should be the case only to an extent where it does not destroy your peace of mind.
So keeping all that in mind, here are 12 things you should never compromise in a relationship.
1. Your individuality should never be compromised
Simply put, individuality means your personal nature, characteristics, needs and qualities which distinguish you from the other people in your life. If your partner expects you to give up on your individuality and you notice yourself turning into a complete different person, then it is high time you re-evaluate your relationship.
2. The bond with your family
It is highly possible that the wavelength of your partner and your family members does not match. Most of the time, you might be in a dilemma about how to make sure that your family and your partner see eye to eye. All this is okay. But if your partner fails to respect the bond you share with your family, then it should be a matter of concern.

3. Your professional life
All your life, you have been working towards flourishing in your professional life. However, if you find your significant other creating obstacles for you instead of encouraging you to do better, then there is no point in continuing such a relationship. An understanding partner will celebrate your professional success and help you do more in life.
4. The friends you have and the time you spend with them
Arbitrarily if your better half wants you to give up hanging out with your friends, then ensure that you do not yield to his/her pressure. It is normal if your partner dislikes some of your friends for no valid reason whatsoever, but then it is his/her issue. You do not have to stop seeing your friends, especially if they have been there for you always. What you have to do is balance your friendship and love life correctly.
5. The way you perceive yourself
A relationship should give you the opportunity to explore yourself completely and grow into a better person. It should make you feel positive about yourself. But if you find yourself breaking down in a relationship and feeling pessimistic all the time, then the relationship is not working out for you.
6. Your dignity as a person should be held high
It is taken for granted that your partner will protect your dignity like his/her own dignity and will ensure you are never mistreated in any way. However, if your partner is not able to respect you and preserve your dignity, then being in such a relationship is going to be tough for you.
7. Your hobbies and interests should never be looked down upon
While being in a relationship, you should get a chance to indulge in the activities and hobbies which interest you. If you continuously feel that you do not have the time or your partner does not like a particular thing that you do, then it means you are not truly happy. You are compromising way more than you should.
8. Your suggestions and opinions should be valued
You do not always have to put forth your opinions and suggestions when you are in a relationship. You have to know when your opinions are appreciated. Trusting your partner's opinion is fine. But then depending on his/her decision-making ability alone will not be good for your relationship. You both need to share your opinions and suggestions with one another and incorporate these in the ultimate decisions you both make as a couple.
9. Your independence matters
Too much dependence on anyone can make you feel worthless and hopeless at some point of time or the other. Therefore ensure that you enjoy your own independence, especially in financial matters. But also be ready to help each other in times of need.
10. Never compromise on your privacy
Setting up acceptable boundaries in your relationship is absolutely essential so that your privacy does not get hampered. Your partner should trust you in such a way that he/she does not have to keep tabs on you at all times. He/she must know when you need your personal space and not disturb you at that time.
11. Your goals in life
Since you are a completely different person than your partner, your goals and his/her goals will differ. Your relationship should be such that it can help you achieve your goals in life. If your relationship fails to become your support system in life, then what is the use of such a relationship?
12. Any kind of abuse in the relationship is a huge NO
Whether it is physical abuse or emotional abuse, you should never compromise with it, even if you love the person with all of your heart. The relationship and the love you share with each other are supposed to bring peace, joy, and happiness in your life, not undue pain and hardship.

If you are stuck in a relationship which is making you compromise on any of these things then take a step back and ask yourself honestly: Is the relationship truly worth it? Are you really satisfied with your growth in the relationship? Do you really wish to continue with such compromises?
We hope the honest answers to these questions can help sort out your dilemma and get you out of such a hollow relationship.

Have you ever thought of being an Au Pair while studying in London? As you will find out from the stories below, it is truly a unique experience. Enjoy our Tti Au Pair tales below!
A former Tti student from Hungary, Reka, writes about her inspiring journey and experience in London as an Au Pair. She says it was "life-changing" Find out why below:
Watching the sunset in London from a tiny café, finally understanding (at least the most of it) what they're talking about on BBC, tasting the real fish and chips,knowing what sophisticated and quirky means , becoming a fun of car boot sales, getting around both London and the rural English countryside, and having the confidence to start to talk to anybody in English – that's just a tiny bit of everything I've got from being abroad as an au-pair.
Going to England and becoming an au-pair was really much more than a "nice experience" – looking back, it was totally life changing for me! It opened the whole world for me, in every single meaning. I found it fantastic that I became part of a family (a very nice one!), and even if I couldn't really speak at the beginning, I immediately felt safe and welcomed by them. I got really close to a sweet little girl who was not just my soul mate but also my best English teacher – I had so much fun with her and I'm incredibly lucky to watch her growing and meet at least once a year!
With the help of my family, I got to know the British culture, from the expression "Make yourself at home" to the Henley Regatta festival or making the perfect Christmas pudding ever. Travelled around the heart of the country, discovered London, and mainly, I could hear and listen to really nice native speakers all the time. I made friends from all over the world, have so many lovely memories – even if is seemed scary first, stepping out of my comfort zone was really the best thing what could happen to me.
My English knowledge, my experiences from being an au-pair and all the inspiration from England also helped a lot to build my professional career in advertising .
Paola , our Tti Coffee Bar Monitor from Italy, has been an Au Pair since September 2012. Below she tells us a bit about her journey from Italy to London and why she recommends the experience:

Hi everybody,
I'm starting coding with OpenGL and I would like to map a fire texture ( this texture would be generated in real time ) on a cube.
The problem is: how to do this ?? since it seems that using glGenTextures, glBindTexture
and glTexImage2D primitives dump the texture data to the video memory.
I think that calling those functions would be a loss of time. So is there a way to make the
video card point to the RAM or is there a buffer inside the video card which I could use to generate my fire effect.
I hope someone would help me. I didn't find this question on any forum so …
Thx in advance

MWC 15 Special
Following last year's announced and later release of Facebook Mobile for Windows Mobile, Microsoft has finally updated the touch client of Facebook Mobile to version 1.2. While the initial release-features like the the ability to read Status Updates and the News Feed as well as being able to upload photos and video right from the phone, Microsoft has now added the possibility to like and comment friend posts! Furthermore it's still possible to get access to friend requests and photo tags, as well as read and create wall posts, send messages and update profile pictures. Facebook users will also be able to share many of their Facebook activities, including photos and status updates, across the full range of Windows Live services.
Thanks to last week's Windows Marketplace for Mobile update, Facebook Mobile can now also installed on a memory card instead of the device's main memory.Interesting enough is the fact that Facebook v1.2 is currently available from the US English Marketplace Mobile only. All other countries are still offering v1.1 (without comments and like feature) only but thanks to Marketplace's new "World View" feature, it's now possible to download Facebook Mobile v1.2 from any country.
UPDATE: Was Facebook v1.2 released by mistake? As mentioned above, it was available from the US English Windows Marketplace for Mobile only but as it looks now, neither the new v1.2 nor the older v1.1 are available on the US English Marketplace anymore while other Marketplaces, like the German or French are still show (the older) Facebook version. Furthermore, if you upgraded to v1.2 from Microsoft's Marketplace for Mobile but uninstalled Facebook 1.2 for any reasons, it's still listed as a previously download application but trying to reinstall it causes an error.We've asked Microsoft for a statement and will be back as soon as we heard anything from the Windows Mobile team.
UPDATE 2: Facebook Mobile v1.2 is back in the US Market and can be installed again (even if the previously installed application from "My applications -> Ready to install" list continued to fail.
Cheers ~ Arne

Rams have won a clear victory in the negotiations over the Edward Jones Dome. the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
A panel of three arbitrators sided with the team today, saying the Rams' plan for a dramatic renovation of the Dome — estimated to cost at least $700 million — is the only way to make the building a "first tier" football facility.
The Convention and Visitors Commission, which runs the Dome, now has 30 days to decide if it will try to enact the Rams' plan. But one of its lead attorneys, Greg Smith, said this afternoon that is "unlikely."
If the CVC indeed rejects the plan, the Rams' lease at the Dome will go on a year-to-year basis starting in March 2015.
The talks between local leaders and the Rams are now expected to shift away from the Dome — and towards the idea of building a new stadium, on a new site.
Jeff Rainford, chief of staff for St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, said today's decision is only one step "in the journey through the whole process."
"We now have clarity," Rainford said. "The Rams will hopefully let everyone know what they really want, and we'll see what we can do to help."
The three arbitrators, from the American Arbitration Association, were: retired Colorado judge Federico C. Alvarez, from Denver; former Iowa judge David Blair, from Sioux City; and labor attorney Sinclair Kossoff, from Chicago.
They were brought in to decide whether the CVC's proposal, or that of the Rams, would propel the Dome into "first tier" status, or top 25 percent of NFL stadiums, in several different categories. The Rams' lease at the Dome mandates that the building be a "first tier" facility by 2015.
The CVC had proposed a $124 million plan, with the team picking up about half the tab. The proposal called for, among other features, a new glass addition, outdoor terraces, a new center-hung scoreboard, new club seats, renovated suites and new lounges.
The Rams countered with a much more expansive renovation that city leaders estimated would cost at least $700 million. The Rams' plan called for tearing down half the Dome, extending its footprint across Broadway and adding a large glass wall, similar to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. It also called for a playing-field-sized sliding roof, reconfigured seating, two end-zone "party platforms" and new, larger entrances.
The Rams released a statement tonight saying they were "pleased" with the arbitrators' decision and that it showed "significant improvements are required to put the Edward Jones Dome on equal standing with most National Football League stadiums and to enhance the fan experience."

The Sanhaja or Senhaja (also Zenaga, Znaga or Sanhadja; Berber: Aẓnag, Iẓnagen; Arabic (from Berber): صنهاجة Ṣanhājah) were once one of the largest Berber tribal confederations of the Maghreb, along with the Zanata and Masmuda.[1] Many tribes and regions in the Berber world bore and still bear this name, especially in its Berber form.
After the arrival of Islam, the Sanhaja spread out to the borders of the historic Sudan as far as the Senegal River and the Niger. From the 9th century, Sanhaja tribes were established in the Middle Atlas range, in the Rif Mountains and on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. A part of the Sanhaja, such as the Kutama, settled in central/eastern Algeria and northern Niger. They played an important part in the rise of the Fatimids. The Sanhaja dynasties of the Zirids and Hammadids controlled Ifriqiya until the 12th century.
In the mid-11th century, a group of Sanhaja chieftains returning from the Hajj invited the theologian ibn Yassin to preach among their tribes. Ibn Yasin united the tribes in the alliance of the Almoravids in the middle of the 11th century. This confederacy subsequently established Morocco, and conquered western Algeria and Al-Andalus (part of present-day Spain).[2]
The descendents of the Sanhaja are still found today in the Middle-Atlas and eastern Morocco. They also include the Tuaregs Kutama in northern Niger and Mali
across the Sahara, in addition to the Kutama of Kabylie in Algeria.
The Zenaga people, a group believed to be descendents of the Gudala (the southernmost Sanhaja tribe) are found today in southwestern Mauritania and in parts of northern Senegal, though in few numbers.[3]

Brandi Lynn Sutton, a 24-year-old woman, who suffered serious injuries in a Newport Beach car accident, has filed a claim against the city for a dangerous roadway condition. According to a news report in The Orange County Register, Sutton was in a crosswalk at the intersection of West Balboa Boulevard and 26th Street when she was hit by a taxi. Sutton says that the crosswalk was poorly lit, causing the accident. She broke both bones in her lower leg and suffered a concussion, knee, back and elbow injuries.
Dangerous Condition on the Roadway
Her claim states that there were several factors there that caused the dangerous condition of public property, including faded crosswalk paint and a street light that wasn't working properly. Police reports, however, have a witness saying that Sutton was not in the crosswalk at the time of the injury pedestrian accident. The same witness also says that the street light on the northwest corner of the intersection was not working at the time of the collision and afterward, it only "came on intermittently." City officials have rejected the claim, which is usually a precursor to a lawsuit.
California Laws
Under the provisions of California's Government Code section 835, a public entity is liable for the damages of a person injured because of a condition of public property when the injured person proves that:
- There was a dangerous condition on the public property at the time of injury
- The injury was proximately caused by the dangerous condition
- The dangerous condition created a reasonably foreseeable risk of injury of the kind that occurred
- The public entity had actual or constructive notice of the dangerous condition a sufficient time before the injury to have taken measures to protect against the dangerous condition.
Government Code section 835.4 also states that a public entity may absolve itself from liability for creating or failing to correct a dangerous condition by showing that it would have been unreasonable because it is costly or impractical to remedy the situation.
If the situation involved a crosswalk and a street light, in my opinion, that would not have been costly or impractical for the city of Newport Beach to fix. I would encourage the city to spend the insignificant dollars it would cost to make those repairs instead of facing this type of liability where millions of dollars are involved. More importantly, fixing these problems could prevent serious personal injuries to pedestrians at this location in the future.

Adderall vs Vyvanse - What's the difference between them?
Medically reviewed by Drugs.com Last updated on Oct 1, 2018.
Official Answerby Drugs.com
The basic difference between Adderall and Vyvanse is that Adderall is a mixture of four different kinds of amphetamine salts (one of which is dextroamphetamine) while Vyvanse only contains one salt, called lisdexamfetamine, which only gets converted into dexamphetamine once it is in the body.One advantage of Vyvanse is that it may be less likely to be abused; however, there is no generic form available so it is more costly than generic forms of Adderall.
Because both drugs contain amphetamines, they work in a similar way. Studies have shown that Vyvanse is just as effective as Adderall, and side effects are similar.
Risk of dependence (coming to rely on the drug) appears similar for both.

Long Answer
What is in Adderall and Vyvanse?
Adderall is a brand name for a combination drug that contains four different types of amphetamines (dextroamphetamine saccharate, amphetamine aspartate, dextroamphetamine sulfate, and amphetamine sulfate). It's easier to call these mixed amphetamine salts, or MAS for short.1
Vyvanse is the brand name for lisdexamfetamine. Once lisdexamfetamine is inside the body it gets converted into dextroamphetamine (its active form) as soon as it touches red blood cells.2
Because Adderall and Vyvanse both contain amphetamines they work in a similar way, and that is by blocking the re-uptake of two neurotransmitters (chemical substances that help nerves talk to each other) in the body. These neurotransmitters are called norepinephrine and dopamine. By blocking their re-uptake, levels of these neurotransmitters between nerves are increased, which helps relieve symptoms of inattention and agitation in children and adults with ADHD.1
Are there any studies that directly compare Adderall to Vyvanse?
Unfortunately, researchers have not really looked into how effective Adderall is compared to Vyvanse, and vice-versa. One study did look at the effect both drugs had on classroom-based behavior in a group of children with ADHD, and reported that both seemed equally effective at improving attention-span, rule following and interactions with peers and adults. Both were well tolerated and no significant differences were noted in their side effects.3,4
Similar results were reported in a trial of 18 adults with ADHD. It took about two hours for Adderall to start working and three hours for Vyvanse, and the effects of each drug lasted for approximately 16 hours. 5,6
Many other studies have compared Adderall or Vyvanse to placebo (an inactive pill) or to other medications used for ADHD and confirmed that both Adderall and Vyvanse improve various symptoms of ADHD.7,8,9,10,11 Researchers did not find one type of drug more effective than another and side effects such as decreased appetite, insomnia, and abdominal symptoms were common but similar among different preparations. However, it is worthwhile noting that most trials in people with ADHD last less than six months, are poorly reported and fail to include important social outcomes such as parent stress and quality of life.
Which drug is more likely to be abused?
Adderall has more potential to be abused, mainly because it contains free amphetamine salts. Because lisdexamfetamine (the ingredient of Vyvanse) requires contact with red blood cells in the body to be activated into dextroamphetamine, it has inbuilt abuse-deterrent properties4... In theory anyway. Unfortunately, no head-to-head trials comparing the abuse potential of Vyvanse to Adderall have been done.4,12
Lisdexamfetamine is still classified as a controlled substance with a high potential for abuse, and those people prescribed Vyvanse and Adderall should take care to store their medicines safely to avoid non-authorized use, as misuse of amphetamine-type medicines can cause sudden death, stroke, heart attack, convulsions and psychotic reactions.1,2,12
Which is cheaper? Adderall or Vyvanse?
Because Adderall is available in a generic form, it can be purchased for less than Vyvanse. Adderall XR costs approximately $760 per 100 capsules ($7.60 per capsule)13, and the generic version is available for $465-$533 for 100 capsules (from $4.65 per capsule)14.
Lisdexamfetamine is only available as Vyvanse, at a cost of $884 for 100 capsules ($8.84 per capsule).15 Don't hold your breath for a generic - one isn't expected until 2023!16
Is Adderall better because it is available as an extended-release?
No. Although Adderall is available in both an immediate-release and extended-release form, an expert review failed to find any differences in effectiveness between immediate and extended-release dosage forms.10
Interestingly, Vyvanse actually "behaves" like an extended-release form once it is inside the body - because the contact with red blood cells and the cleaving off of dextroamphetamine takes time. 4

text: Software & Apps MS Office Creating Reports With Microsoft Access 2010 by Mike Chapple Writer Former Lifewire writer Mike Chapple is an IT professional with more than 10 years' experience cybersecurity and extensive knowledge of SQL and database management. our editorial process Twitter Mike Chapple Updated on February 13, 2020 MS Office Word Excel Powerpoint Outlook Tweet Share Email Microsoft Access 2010 allows you to easily create professionally formatted reports automatically from information stored in a database. In this tutorial, you're going to design a nicely formatted listing of employee home telephone numbers for the use of management using the Northwind sample database and Access 2010. If you're using an earlier version of Access, an older tutorial is available. Creating Reports With Microsoft Access First, open up Microsoft Access and then open the Northwind database. Once you've opened the database, follow these steps: Choose the Reports menu. Once you've opened Northwind, choose the Create tab on the Microsoft Office ribbon. In the Reports selection, you'll see a number of methods that Access supports for creating a report. If you'd like, feel free to click on a few of these and get a feel for what reports look like and the various types of information that they contain.Create a new report. After you've satisfied your curiosity, go ahead and click on Report Wizard and we'll begin the process of creating a report. The wizard will walk us through the creation process step-by-step. After you've mastered the wizard, you might want to return to this step and explore the flexibility provided by the other creation methods.Choose a table or query. The first screen of the Report Wizard asks us to choose the source of data for our report. If you want to retrieve information from a single table, you can select it from the drop-down box below. Alternatively, for more complex reports, we can choose to base our report on the output of a query that we previously designed. For our example, all of the data we need is contained within the Employees table, so choose Table > Employees from the drop-down menu.Select the fields to include. Notice that after you select the table from the drop-down menu, the bottom section of the screen changes to show the fields available in that table. Use the > button to move the fields you would like to include in your report to the Selected Fields section. Note that the order you place the fields in the right column determines the default order they will appear in your report. Remember that we're creating an employee telephone directory for our senior management. Let's keep the information contained in it simple — the first and last name of each employee, their title, and their home telephone number. Go ahead and select these fields. When you are satisfied, click the Next button.Select the grouping levels. At this stage, you can select one or more grouping levels to refine the order in which our report data is presented. For example, we may wish to break down our telephone directory by department so that all of the members of each department are listed separately. However, due to the small number of employees in our database, this is not necessary for our report. Go ahead and simply click on the Next button to bypass this step. You may wish to return here later and experiment with grouping levels.Choose your sorting options. In order to make reports useful, we often want to sort the results by one or more attributes. In the case of our telephone directory, the logical choice is to sort by the last name of each employee in ascending (A to Z) order. Select this attribute from the first drop-down box and then click the Next button to continue.Choose the formatting options. In the next screen, we're presented with some formatting options. We'll accept the default tabular layout but let's change the page orientation to landscape to ensure the data fits properly on the page. Once you've completed this, click the Next button to continue.Add the title. Finally, we need to give the report a title. Access will automatically provide a nicely formatted title at the top of the screen, with the appearance shown in the report style you selected during the previous step. Let's call our report "Employee Home Phone List." Make sure that the "Preview the report" option is selected and click Finish to see our report! Congratulations, you've successfully created a report in Microsoft Access! The final report you see should appear similar to the one presented above. You should also note that the Employee Home Phone List report appears in the "Unassigned Objects" section of the Northwind database menu on the left side of the screen. If you wish, you may drag and drop this to the Reports section for easy reference. In the future, you can simply double-click on this report title and a new report will instantly be generated with up-to-date information from your database.

Debra Beebee Appears on Survivor TV Show
The 2009 season of Survivor, the popular CBS television show, included Hedden Plastic Surgery patient Debbie Beebee.
A self-described people person, Debra Beebe is a middle school principal and married mom from Auburn, Alabama who believes that her natural leadership abilities and tactful problem-solving skills will contribute to her success as a castaway on Survivor. Debra, also known as "Bubbles," feels that her enthusiastic and energetic personality, in addition to her take-charge attitude, will erase any doubts about her ability to succeed in this game.
The fact that she is one of the older castaways will not be a hindrance for this woman who previously trained alongside Olympic athletes and still rises every morning at 4:30AM to get in her daily workout before tackling a day filled with hundreds of pubescent teens, pre-teens, parents, faculty and staff. Not one to be intimidated (even at a tiny 5'2"), Debra juggles work, her husband and her children. It's no surprise that this go-getter won "Alabama's Principal of the Year" award yet still finds occasional free time for shopping and dancing.
Debra feels that her occupation has taught her how to deal with politics which she can apply to the group dynamics of her tribe. With her abilities as a natural leader combined with her bossy and competitive nature, Debra plans to focus on the weaknesses of others in an effort to get them eliminated.
Debra is married with five children and currently resides in Auburn, Ala. Her birthday is September 28.

I would encourage anyone to get involved in groups like these however you only get out of it what you put into it. I've already made friends with some great people and hopefully we'll all learn from each other as time goes on. The only downside to groups like this however and friending people is that sometimes people take things the wrong way as I witnessed recently with Matt.
Matt had re-posted an image he had and personally I thought it was hilarious however someone didn't see the funny side and felt the need to register a complaint with the powers that be at Facebook which in turn lead to the image being removed and his account being locked down for a period. I'm not sure why anyone would feel the need to protest in such a manner over something so facetious but you live and learn I suppose. The end result of the whole matter also lead to him reducing his friends list and I can see why.
Thanks to one of the challenges in the group I ended up taking my first self portrait. Thankfully I'm married so I'm not out to impress anybody and I'm certainly no Brad Pitt so getting in front of the camera as opposed to behind it was a challenge in itself! The best part about this was that I actually ended up enjoying it. At one stage I even had the camera in the fridge and I was taking wide angle shots of me raiding it.....I kid you not, mind you I'm usually eating most of the time anyway(fast metabolism). I even ended up using my final image as my new FB profile, for those that missed it here's the end result and yes I didn't gel my hair.

Cosmetic services provided by dentist in 29646 zip code area
Patients in the 29646 zip code area who are interested in visiting a cosmetic dentist should look no further than Dr. Christopher T. Griffin, DMD. At his practice, he ensures patients not only improve the functionality of their smile, but he takes the steps necessary to transform their smiles into a beautiful work of art. His practice offers both general and cosmetic dentistry to new and existing patients and can assist anyone who is interested in a stunning smile. Imperfections and lost teeth can be addressed with a wide variety of dental services, including:
Disease, trauma, and aging can cause patients to lose their natural teeth. When this happens, dentures are an affordable solution. Dr. Christopher T. Griffin, DMD offers both full and partial dentures to restore a smile.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth can be restored with dental implants, which are a revolutionary way to improve the smile. Using titanium posts, the dentist will implant this restoration into the jawbone and restore it with a dental crown for beauty and functionality.
Inlays and Onlays
Tooth decay is a common problem for patients who do not visit their dentist regularly or care for their teeth with proper oral hygiene. Fillings are often used to address cavities, but there are times when the area of decay is too large for a filling. Inlays and onlays can be made from impressions of the teeth and used to fill and seal areas of decay to protect them from further damage.
Dental crowns are porcelain restorations bonded over natural teeth to hide imperfections, restore a dental implant, or protect a weakened or broken tooth. Dental crowns are made to match the existing teeth to blend in seamlessly with the smile for a beautiful cosmetic solution.
Dental bridges are fabricated from porcelain and are made to fill a space left by a missing tooth. Dental bridges are created from two dental crowns and a false tooth. They are fused together and bonded over the adjacent teeth to support the restoration and improve the function of the dental arch.
Thin porcelain veneers are bonded over natural teeth to change their appearance. Veneers are used in situations such as when teeth are unusually shaped, broken, or permanently stained.Back to Home Page

What do you think of people with a purpose-less sense of life?
Do they have interesting conversations, or show genuine compassion?
Do you believe that they live happy lives?
Maybe their problem lies on looking at their circumstances in a negative light; in fact, maybe they have a severe attitude problem.
Attitude is an important concept in our lives.
The way our self perceives, processes, analyzes and internalizes our emotions will —for a great part— determine the way we view our lives:
We will harbor positive thoughts if we choose to believe in good, while we will harbor negativity if we choose to believe in the bad.

More than four years after the UK government's launch of an initiative to raise the number of female non-executive directors in FTSE 100 boardrooms—and thereby prove to the European Union that it could be done via a voluntary approach—targets have been met. But the extent to which diversity as a strategy is present in FTSE 350 boardrooms as a whole is still unclear.
In mid-July 2015, the government announced that the target of 25% women in the boardrooms of the top companies had been achieved. It also shifted the focus by simultaneously announcing new requirements for business on the disclosure of pay by gender.
The news came ahead of a decision by the European Commission on mandatory quotas, which is imminent: on whether or not to introduce them for each gender in non-executive board positions. The proposal would apply to about 5,000 companies across the EU.
While the UK's achievement in increasing gender diversity in FTSE 100 boardrooms is considerable, a boardroom bellwether survey of FTSE 350 companies, published just before the government announcement, tells a slightly different—and potentially more accurate—story about widespread attitudes.
Carried out by ICSA—the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) in association with the Financial Times—the survey canvasses the views of all the FTSE companies by contacting the company secretary twice-yearly. This summer it found that 31% of companies, up from 22% in December 2014, now say that their companies will not meet the target. Furthermore, when those companies not expecting to hit the target were asked about their plans in place to meet gender diversity targets, 63% said they had no such plans.
Increasing gender diversity at the top of the FTSE 100 is arguably an easier task than in the smaller companies. The businesses are more international, they have larger boards, they are far more visible and therefore susceptible to reputational pressure, and they can attract a wider pool of talent.
Therefore, looking to the FTSE 250 may yield more insight into attitudes in British business to diversity. Critically, FTSE 250 companies are also seen as the feeder pool for boardroom roles in the FTSE 100.
"Experience on the smaller boards is necessary to be appointed onto the major boards," says the Female FTSE Board Report 2015 by Cranfield's International Centre For Women Leaders . Yet, as it indicates, "the number of companies with female executive directors fell again this year … with the result that only 4.6% [of] executive directors in FTSE 250 companies are women. This is where we were in 2012
Broadly defined
The FT–ICSA Boardroom Bellwether report is also telling in its canvassing of views when it comes to broader definitions of diversity—essential in order to avoid the "groupthink" demonstrated by the financial crisis. FTSE 350 businesses seem confident that their boards offer diversity of business experience, geography and even educational background.
But, asked about ethnic diversity in the boardroom, just 23% of those surveyed considered their board to be ethnically diverse. "This is, perhaps, unsurprising but should be an area of future focus for nomination committees," says the report. It is also perhaps surprising that they have never been asked the question before.
Regardless of whether or not individual boardrooms buy this argument, it is still widely acknowledged that boardroom composition should be representative of a business, and that a lack of diversity amounts to risk.
Dr Ruth Sealy, senior lecturer at City University in London and the lead researcher for Cranfield's Female FTSE report since 2007, says: "Boards need proactively to seek diverse candidates, focus on skill sets and the breadth of experience candidates can add to the overall matrix of skills and appoint a member of the board who is responsible for diversity."
Diversity, she adds, is another aspect of the need for senior management to manage succession planning. The UK watchdog on corporate governance, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), has made it clear that it is turning its focus in this direction. "Succession planning is essential to delivering an effective business strategy," says David Styles, director of corporate governance at the FRC.
Just over half (54%) of respondents to the FT–ICSA survey reported that they had written a succession plan for the board. These findings raise the question of the extent to which boardrooms look forward on strategy, and whether, four years on after the Davies Review, they even begin to consider diversity as an essential part of that conversation.

Jail professionals know that managing the pages of records needed for accreditation audits is time- and space-consuming. In this article, Denise Ory of the Roanoke County Sheriff's Office in Virginia details how that agency shifted to a paperless system for compliance tracking. The agency began implementing its new system in January 2011 as a pilot test with the permission of the American Correctional Association. It completed a successful audit in March 2012, and the system is now considered a model for other agencies to consider. Sheriff Mike Winston commended the project team on an outstanding outcome.
The article was originally published in Corrections Today magazine, August/September 2012, and appears here courtesy of the American Correctional Association.

Story Time: Room On The Broom
For my first post I wanted to think of how I could help people, or inspire people or something profound about parenting and being a dad but I decided I'd dedicate my first post on this blog to one of my favourite times of day and one of my favourite dad tasks – bed time and story time. This will become a bit of a regular feature on here, Story Time, where I intend to talk about the book we read, NJ's reaction to it and why we like it so much. Some of them will be well known, maybe classics and some not so much but we'll see.
Story time for us usually takes place on the rocking chair in the nursery with NJ drinking a bottle of milk.
Tonight was no different but the story tonight was Julia Donaldson's brilliant Room On The Broom. We must have read this together so many times over the last 6 months or so but it just doesn't get tired or old or boring. In fact NJ's appreciation of it increased tonight in a few choice areas!
I love reading to NJ and try to inject some interest, emotion, action etc into my voice when I do, all with the consideration that I want him to actually start to wind down and get a bit sleepy so I try not to overdo it at this time!
One of our favourite bits in the book tonight was when the dragon makes an appearance – "I am a dragon, as fierce as can be, and I'm planning to have witch and chips for my tea". Tonight I decided to roar at this point, which NJ loved and started roaring back at me over the course of the next couple of pages.
My next favourite part tonight was the witches spell after seeing off the dragon – "Iggety, Ziggety, Zaggety, ZOOM!" Again NJ loved this and gave me his version of the spell in words that sounded nothing like those I just read but had as much intention and enthusiasm a 1 year old can produce with a bottle in his mouth!
So there you have it – Room On The Broom by Julia Donaldson, a brilliant book with some great characters along with some great opportunities to get your little one involved! NJ loves roaring and I suspect we're going to see some spell casting coming soon too.
Have you read Room On The Broom? What do you think? What are your favourite parts? What does your little one think to it? Go dig it out and have a read right now.

Angelo Aiello. The perfect name for a man who is quintessentially male, Italian, and Roman Catholic. Married to his wife, Alice, for fifteen years, and hating every day of the last ten years at least, Angelo has one shining light in his family, and that is his teenage daughter, Sophia. He teaches English at a Catholic high school, and longs to be remembered as a great American poet, for which Alice chides him. When he meets Monica at the Stamford Nature Center, he is sure he has met his female counterpart, she also being an English teacher and poet. They begin an intense affair, which quickly spirals to the point that Angelo leaves his home to live with Monica. However, guilt hangs on him like a shroud, and every day he attributes things to the fact that he left his family. How will Angelo come to his own personal resolution?
I always thought I was pretty well read, and had a fairly decent vocabulary, until I read this book by Sangirardi. There are so many literary references and five dollar words in this book it will make your head spin. I had to give up looking up the ones with which I was unfamiliar, else I would never finish the book. Luckily, those things just help with the ambiance of the writing, and while I may have been able to see deeper symbolic meaning had I gotten all references, I was fully able to enjoy the book without them.
This is not what I would call a light read. The subject matter is dark, the characters are kind of repugnant, if not stereotypical, and the text itself is dense. But it just gets to you. It hits you in all the right places. You feel it, you hear it. At one point, the intensity of the affair in the book was so cloying, I thought I would hyperventilate. That means the book is good. It evokes a strong reaction. A sign of good work.
Angelo's character is complex. I found that the man I envisioned in the opening scenes at the nature center was very different that who he turned out to be. And he is very different with Alice than he is with Monica. With Alice, he is the typical Italian American New York male. With Monica, he is the poet. Each would ridicule him for being the opposite. Angelo has a unique, and fairly skewed, view of faith and it comes into play a lot in the book, Catholic guilt being a huge theme.
Even though I struggled through the book because of its density, I found myself wanting more. Also, I think, the sign of something brilliant. Fans of dramatic novels will appreciate, highly literary readers will appreciate due to all the references, and, who knows, some one reading outside their genre might find this and become as overwhelmed by it as I was.
A review copy of this book was provided by the publisher.

Tame Impala's "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards," off of their beloved album Lonerism, became a popular track to remix in 2012. In his new "de-mix," futuristic electronic artist Chrome Canyon emphasizes ambient synth lines in an effort to make the track dreamier than the original (if that's even possible). Download it below.

hello, Regarding the example at http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-namespace/#css-qnames, would the following selection example be as specified? Given the namespace declarations: @namespace toto "http://toto.example.org"; @namespace "http://example.com/foo"; In a context where the default namespace applies toto|A represents the name A in the http://toto.example.org namespace. |B represents the name B that belongs to no namespace. *|C represents the name C in any namespace, including no namespace. D represents the name D in the http://example.com/foo namespace. ---- Given the following example XML: <example xmlns="http://example.com/foo" xmlns:toto="http://toto.example.org"> 1 2 <toto:c>3</toto:c> <d xmlns="http://toto.example.org">4</d> <t2:e xmlns:t2="http://toto.example.org">5</t2:e> </example> the following selectors using * as element name would represent toto|* would select the elements containing 3, 4 and 5 |* would select the element containing 2 *|* would select the elements containing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the root element "example" * would select the elements containing 1 and the root element "example" I think I have all possible combinations (at least for elements) and maybe adding an example like this would clarify namespaces in CSS even more? thanks christofReceived on Tuesday, 19 February 2008 19:22:44 UTC

April 15, 2013 by Jessica Lala
When you are looking for suitable candidates for a position, you are often competing against other recruiters for the same pool of talent. It often happens that you will contact a potential candidate and they have already spoken to another recruiter and have been submitted to the position. For some, that would be the end of the conversation. For me, I take it as; this is the strongest candidate for this job, so I want to make myself known and available to the resource. I like to build a relationship with someone who is technically qualified on paper, and then spend some time talking to them to see how they would act in a work environment. Even if I can't submit them for the job I wanted, chances are my client will have additional requirements in the future that the candidate can fit. Taking the time to speak to someone when the end result isn't necessarily to submit them shows them that I am willing to work with them, to help them. It makes them remember you. This can be beneficial for future assignments and can make them willing to work with you.
This has benefited me in the past because not all recruiters/agencies take the time to build talent pools; relying on one and done submission. In taking this approach, I have worked with the same candidates over several years and clients. It has also been the case where, if the candidate finds them in a hiring capacity, they have reached out to me and given my agency the opportunity to staff the positions. Developing a strong relationship with top candidates is beneficial to the client, candidate and agency.

I've been playing a lot over the last year or so with the camera settings on my phone camera, things like the white balance, the shutter speed and the ISO (light sensitivity). Mostly I've found a lot of interest with the white balance such that mostly the blue end of the spectrum shows in pictures.
Such as in this one.
However, these recent shots resulted when I switched to the other extreme of filtering out the blue end instead.
Me and the ever-steadily-ascending kidlings. Enjoy.

Many handbags have a zipper storage space that divides the bag into areas. Bags act as an easy method of carrying most of the private items which you would find in a woman's clothes.
If you were to get into a bag store, you will be surprised in the range the latest models of of handbags for sale in these stores. The main reason becoming that various women have different tastes in addition they try to it in different types of items in to the bags. Some prefer little bags that would just fit their purse and several beauty products, while others would like their books to match into their bags. This necessitates different sizes of bags to accommodate different tastes with regards to sizes. Handbags differ in size, forms, color and cost. There are lots of fashion designer handbags that are chosen by many across the globe. These costly handbags tend to be a pure level of deluxe and condition.
These fashion designer bags will always very impressive because most high-priced handbags, which but is virtually the best high quality handbags cash could get. If you want a superior quality handbag, and you can pay for it, designer handbags are the ones for you, that will be well-built, is of good quality and therefore continues very long. Having said that, you will find a lot of replica fashion designer bags, which look great but don't last as long as the designer bags. For that reason when you go in for an imitation designer bag, you could cut costs for now, however when considering living amount of the handbag, you can be spending again for another one.
There are additionally the standard fabric bags that are made out of fabric are long-lasting. They show up in numerous shades also. Of late there has been an increased interest in bright colored handbags because they symbolize a woman's attitude towards life. With women becoming more and more independent in all techniques, they favor something which reflects their particular nature also their perspective. Bags are believed is a significant part of women's costume nowadays. Lots of women have actually bags in different sizes they can utilize for every single event.
Choosing the best bag to accommodate one's need is clearly a period consuming one. You can step to the market and start searching for a bag of your choice, but that definitely will digest lots of time since you need to check out at the least a couple of stores to obtain the right choice. The easiest method to shop would-be doing it online, as possible remain at your house . and get to view most types to select from. It can also help that compare prices easily. So, the next time you plan to purchase a bag, go with a handbag which would be well worth the cash spent. These bags tend to be basically made to carry a little more than the conventional people. Hence they truly are larger in proportions. What makes the bag unique is that these bags hold significantly more than they look and therefore are durable.

DayBreaks for 5/07/18: Drowning Rats and Hope
From the DayBreaks archive, May 2008:
I don't have to tell you that life can get pretty hard. If you are more than 24 hours old, you've probably discovered that fact for yourself (and come to think of it, getting into this world isn't so easy, either)! It is difficult, at times, to hold onto hope. But it is very important that we do so! Think about this example from Today In the Word, May 1990: "A number of years ago researchers performed an experiment to see the effect hope has on those undergoing hardship. Two sets of laboratory rats were placed in separate tubs of water. The researchers left one set in the water and found that within an hour they had all drowned. The other rats were periodically lifted out of the water and then returned. When that happened, the second set of rats swam for over 24 hours. Why? Not because they were given a rest, but because they suddenly had hope! Those animals somehow hoped that if they could stay afloat just a little longer, someone would reach down and rescue them."
It is sometimes easier to hope than others. But as G. K. Chesterton put it: "Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all…As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength." I think he makes a good point. If we were the rats in the tank in the experiment and could see a way to get ourselves out of the tank, then what would we be relying on? Ourselves. And then it isn't hope, is it?
Of course, we aren't rats in a tank. We are of much greater value. We weren't put here by some crazed scientist for the purposes of experimentation. God isn't performing laboratory experiments on us. We need to remember that it was our sin that put us in the tank – not some all-powerful cosmic scientist to watch creatures struggle to see what they would do! We alone are responsible for the fact that we are drowning. God alone is responsible for the fact that there is a way out of the tank. God has spent thousands of years rescuing us from the cesspool of our sin and shame and He is still about the business of rescuing broken and drowning people today.
Romans 5:5-6 reminds us: And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. You see, God didn't just build a ramp out of the tank, He got in the tank with us and has lifted us out.
When you despair of ever seeing or feeling the joy of a sunrise again, look around you. You will see the Son of God at your side. He will not fail you. He will not let you down. You may have to reach the point where the situation is "hopeless" before you turn to Him so you can learn what hope really is.
We all need to remember that "hopeless" is a human term – it doesn't exist in God's dictionary.
PRAYER: Thank you that you not only didn't leave us hopeless, but gave us the greatest reason for hope ever! In Jesus' name, Amen.

Fact: Those who exercise daily live longer and have healthier, active lives. Not only do exercise and nutrition help you lose weight and look great, they help reduce stress, promote heart health, lower blood pressure and reduce the chance of stroke.
These exercises will burn extra calories, stabilize the core for balance and even help strengthen the back, arms and core.
1. Classic Crunches
- Anchor back onto floor. Bend knees and point toes to activate muscles.
- Tuck chin into neck, and slowly lift shoulders off floor. Keeping a 90-degree bend in knees, lift knees over hips, and lift shoulders as far as you can toward knees. If you feel pressure or discomfort in back, release feet back to floor.
- Release and repeat 10 to 20 repetitions. As your core strengthens, you will be able to increase repetitions.
2. Non-Impact Back Extension
- Come down to floor onto stomach. Ground hips to floor.
- Lengthen arms out away from sides of body with thumbs facing upward.
- Squeeze gluteus to protect lower back, and lift ribs off floor.
- Hold for 20 seconds, then release. Repeat back extensions for 10 to 20 repetitions.
Stability Ball Extended Pike
- Relax down to floor onto back. Hold a stability ball extended over the head.
- Tuck chin in, and lift ball up while lifting extended legs. Bend knees and keep back anchored to floor if you feel pressure. Allow ball and legs to come together, hold at top, and slowly return to start position. *If this move is too difficult, begin with crunches and back extension and build up to this move.

Hank and Red visit Disneyland - Part 2
I suppose that's Skull Rock behind Red - Hank must not have known the flash bulb only goes so far.
Hank looks rather serious in this photo - slick gold belt!. I like the evening skyline and the Skyway silhouette in the background. Too bad we only got half that sign on the right, whats is talking about?
In this last photo taken at the Carnation Plaza Red sure seems happy still. Hey I like the pattern of that shirt on the lady next to Red, I'm gonna guess 1963 as the date for these.

These are great, I actually think the Skull Rock photo is pretty cool with the rock silhouetted in the background.

I am just LOVING this series. In the upper left corner of Hank's photo, is that a square Skyway bucket I see????
- Saturday, 04 June, 2011
- TokyoMagic! said...
A-ha....Connie's right. I always forget what year the Skyway gondolas were changed, but that would definitely help with the year. Weren't they changed right before the New Tomorrowland of '67?
I really like this couple for some reason. I hope they're still with us today....but if that were the case, why wouldn't they have kept these pics? I am mostly happy when looking at vintage DL pics, but occasionally there's a little sadness attached too. I'm experiencing both emotions from this set of photos....but that's a good thing. I hope there are more pics of this couple to come!
- Saturday, 04 June, 2011
- JG said...
@TM, I am not expert, but yes, the buckets were changed before New Tomorrowland, at least a year. These pics could be as late as 1966.
I agree, it's sad to think these nice people are gone.

How can the real environment of the classroom interact and intersect with the virtual environment for deep learning and fun?
Virtual reality is becoming ubiquitous and affordable with people asking how it might be used to offer students, of all ages, wondrous learning experiences. When I scroll through twitter feed, I see all kinds of educational technology (ed tech) articles on virtual and augmented technologies, usually featuring glossy stock photos of children and young people sporting the wide-mouth VR gape, a kind of visual short-hand for just how amazing an immersive VR experience can be. Most of the articles that accompany these images are about how the special affordances of VR (its properties or possibilities for action) can be used for learning – for example, virtual field trips to amazing places on and beyond the planet and the ability to manipulate the scale of virtual objects from the smallest (exploring a single human cell that appears as large as person) to the largest (zooming in and out of archaeological sites from an aerial view to a single in-situ artefact).
While there is imaginative thought in ed tech, evangelist-style articles, there is also a surprising lack of evidence on what actually happens when immersive technologies are introduced into real live schools.
There is some research from the field of computer science and health on lab-based or clinical experimentation using immersive VR with children but this research often has small numbers of participants and can be limited in its implications to everyday 'natural' settings. Classrooms are dynamic natural settings where learning, in all its complexity, is influenced by a range of factors from the individual differences of students and their socio-cultural and geographic backgrounds, peer interaction, mandated curriculum and assessment options, and the pedagogy or the instructional choices teachers make every time they plan a lesson or step into a classroom.
So what happens when you provide students and teachers with the opportunity to use immersive virtual reality for learning?
How can the curriculum be tailored to use immersive virtual reality for deep learning and how can we assess if VR actually enhances learning?
What are the opportunities and challenges of using the latest VR technology in school communities, including equity concerns?
How do students and teachers experience immersive VR in their classrooms?
Importantly, given the developmental stages of learners, how can we use this type of technology safely and ethically in schools?
The purpose of the VR School project is to create a robust, evidence-based dialogue on these questions based on the data we collect during our collaborative research with teachers in real schools. The project involves openly sharing insights and the resources so that the use of immersive VR in classrooms across subject areas. The focus is on pedagogically appropriate and imaginative use of the technology for deeper learning. We welcome dialogue from students, teachers, policy-makers, researchers and developers on using immersive technology in schools and other educational settings.

Fame at the Basement!! (And our 2nd Supper).
The sudden low electrical hum as a spotlight suddenly appears in the centre of the floor, dust pirouettes lazily in the glow.
An appreciative gasp from the audience as I stride into the limelight, contemptuous of the stir I've just caused. I strike a pose, and hold it. Clad head to toe in a body hugging black Lycra catsuit, my athletic dancer outline broken only by my leg warmers and the stick I use to beat on the floor for emphasis as I spit out "Fame costs, and right here is where you start paying"...I strike a 'jazz hands' position. The audience gasps, then hushed silence as strange rhythmic music, played on a bongo begins to drift out of the darkness.
I begin my routine with a daring crotch splitting high kick and spin...
*Sound of a needle skidding across the track*
No silly people.
Not the 1980's TV Show 'Fame'!
The fame that comes from having a recipe from Montpelier Basement featured in Xanthe Clay's column in The Telegraph. And, if that wasn't enough, Fiona Beckett the new Guardian wine columnist (and food writer) coming to our second supper and giving us a stonking write up on her blog, kind of fame!
To say 'E' and I are chuffed silly would be a complete understatement. Cheesy grins, high-fives and backslaps all round.
Although, not quite as good as me dancing gracefully in a body hugging leotard I think you'll all agree, but it's up there.... it's certainly up there.
So, the second supper was superb (has a nice ring to it don't you think?)
As you can see, the final menu featured pumpkin in every course (as it was Halloween...err...almost), but it was all quite subtle.
The Montpelier Basement - Saturday 30th October.
Sherry served with Gorwydd Caerphilly, thyme, chilli and pumpkin dust gougère
Bertinet rustic rye bread with West Country butter
Pumpkin and sage soup with deep fried sage, brown butter and chilli
Baked Cornish haddock with pumpkin crust, leeks and white wine sauce.
Onglet with pumpkin jam and polenta chips
Mushroom and Old Demdike tatin with thyme, chestnuts and squash
Spiced pumpkin and pecan cake with mascarpone, honey and toasted pecans
And finally,
Gorwydd Caerphilly and Bristol Beer Factory Milk Stout Rarebit
Quite an adventurous menu I'd say, given that we only have a domestic kitchen to crank it all out from. We had all eleven guests seated at one table stretching the length of the room, rather than split up onto separate tables. The problem with this arrangement is how to get eleven plates of food out all at once, and all hot with only limited hob and oven space. But with careful planning, flow charts, pie charts, spreadsheets and a white board, 'E' managed to drill into my dense skull exactly how this could be achieved. But more about that later.
Before our guests arrived, we'd laid the table, lit the wood fire which was roaring away, throwing a nice warm flicker around the room, lit the candles and finally - as it was Halloween (well almost) we'd borrowed a projector and had old black and white horror films playing on one of the dining room walls. It worked really well and added a really superb atmosphere to the dining room.
First up - the Gorwydd Caerphilly, thyme, chilli and pumpkin dust gougère, which we served as nibbles with sherry. The basic gougère recipe I've blogged before here, but we substituted Caerphilly for Cheddar, added some Thyme and dusted with chilli flakes and blitzed toasted pumpkin seeds.
After some beautiful Bertinet rye bread, we served a small portion of pumpkin and sage soup ('E' now has her own blog, and has helpfully put the recipe up here). We decorated this with chilli flakes and deep fried sage leaves .
Next, we were both especially pleased with the baked Cornish haddock with pumpkin crust, leeks and white wine sauce. It looked really elegant and tasted incredible (we made an extra portion for ourselves). It was actually a bastardised Gary Rhodes recipe from my old favourite 'New British Classics'. He uses Halibut and serves it in much bigger portions.
We had one vegetarian diner, and 'E' had made them a superb Mushroom and Old Demdike tatin with thyme, chestnuts and squash. We'd used a mixture of chestnut mushrooms, Portobello and for added luxury (it was an alternative to steak after all) sliced fresh ceps. This was layered through with Old Demdike cheese and thyme. We served it with the same pumpkin jam (Made the previous night) and polenta chips that we served with the Onglet.
The steak presented us with something of a problem. How to cook eleven massive slabs of Onglet, and then rest them.... to serve all at the same time, hot with only four hobs. Helpfully, the head chef at Source Food Hall & Cafe presented the solution to us. Pre-sear the Onglet first, and then whack all of it on a baking tray, covered with foil into the oven and cook until medium rare. A technique that worked beautifully. (Source incidentally supplied us with both the freshest Cornish Haddock, as well as the superb Onglet and Ceps).
Unfortunately, not everything was as easily worked around. The Polenta chips that we served with the onglet were a hell of a lot of work to flour, egg, and coat in panko then fry in small batches. But with head's down and working methodically we ploughed through it.
With the polenta chips fried, me frantically slicing the now rested steak and 'E' artistically smearing the plates with pumpkin jam and plating up, we managed to get the hardest course out. High Five!
Breathing a sigh of relief, and knocking back a celebratory glass of red we plated up the beautifully moist Spiced pumpkin and pecan cake with mascarpone, honey and toasted pecans which 'E' has made the previous evening (recipe here).
I drizzled with honey and artistically scattered toasted pecans whilst 'E' expertly shaped the mascarpone quenelles.
Pudding served we left the confines of the kitchen to sit with our guests, drink as much booze as we could lay our hands on and generally relax a bit and enjoy the atmosphere, with just a brief visit back to the grill to make the final course of Rarebit.
Everything, (surprisingly) had gone extremely smoothly, no tourette like streams of swearing, no panicked shouting and no screams, all of which have so often been the hallmarks of my dinner parties. Just fairly calm hustle in the kitchen.
With the majority of our guests waving unsteady goodbyes at around 1:30am, 'E' and I declared the second supper a bloody good evening, left the mess to clear up in the morning and crawled drunkenly upstairs to bed.
If you fancy attending a future supper at The Montpelier Basement, or would like to be added to our mailing list then send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
We have at least two more dates planned for 2010, the 13th November and 27th November. (And possibly one more date in early December).
We'd love to see you.

Wow it sounds like a really great evening! Fantastic sounding menu and with the use of that projector it looks like you created a fab atmosphere to match the dishes! Good work to you and "E"!!

Lynne - Thanks very much. Was quite stressful with two such highly regarded foodies, Xanthe and Fiona eating at 'The Basement'. But, they both really enjoyed it and were incredibly complimentary and positive. Chuffed!!
Gourmet Butcher - Thanks! Glad you like the menu, and the projector worked brilliantly to create a really nice spooky atmosphere.

This looks great. I've done this once or twice for friends but I've been thinking about trying it for strangers as well... How did you get started, i mean, where did you find your first paying guests? Assuming of course that you make them pay...

Well done you two. Fabulous looking food. You must have worked very hard.
The projector idea was genius!

- meemalee said...
Sounds brilliant, well done guys!
I tell you what, I'm glad I had a full brigade behind me for my pop-up, because a hands-on supperclub like this is not my idea of fun, but you two seem like pros already :)
Next one should be Fame themed - though E would look better than you in a leotard methinks ...
- 1 November 2010 at 16:20
- Dan said...
MillerDesignUK - Really looking forward to seeing you at the next one on the 13th!
Fernandez & Leluu - Awww thanks, that means a lot coming from you guys! Likewise, I can't wait to get over to your supper club. I've heard so many amazing things. x
LucMartin - We are 'Foodies' and pimped it on Twitter - that's all there was to it. Paid - yes :) It's a 'suggested donation' of £25.
The Ample Cook - Thanks Jan! We did work extremely hard, as you can probably guess, catering being your profession ;)
The Projector was my idea, of course. (High Five...anyone? anyone?).
Meemalee - Thanks a lot madam. Hahaha I think I'd like a full brigade to help out, but the kitchen isn't big enough. Oh, and no one looks better than me in a leotard....NO ONE!!
- 1 November 2010 at 17:09
- Jonathan said...
Congratulations! Awesome stuff. But let's not beat about the bush. Can we see photos of you in a leotard?
- 1 November 2010 at 22:05
Going to liaise with Fiona and come down - soon. A few sherberts in the Corrie tap the night before, perchance? J
- 1 November 2010 at 22:40
- Dan said...
Jonathan - Thanks mate. Photos of me in a leotard in the next post where I explore the mysteries of avant garde dance and West Country cheese.
JamesRamsden - That would be superb dude, but the Corrie tap the night before? surely that's asking for trouble. Nevertheless - I am up for that!

Oh my goodness that haddock looked amazing. Well done on the great reviews!
