I'm having a little trouble staying on task lately. I had a "beet the winter blues" post under way, but couldn't polish it off. Then I decided to tackle "the differences between boys and girls." After a couple of days wrestling with that one, I had an epiphany. The differences are monumental, endless, glorious and can be represented by a marshmallow. Unfortunately, those random thoughts were too difficult to gather together and put into sentence form. But I'll work on that, as it's food-related and worthy of further contemplation.
Here's the problem. I'm distracted and can't seem to stay focused. I think I'm lamenting the passing of the decade. A whole decade of my life just whizzed by and I hardly had time to notice.
Yes, a whole decade. That's TEN years. And don't give me that stuff about how the decade really isn't over until the end of 2010. You could make that argument if you want to go all the way back to 1 AD (or 0 AD), but it doesn't matter, ten years is a decade and it's over. To add insult to injury, ten years ago was the turn of a century. So the first decade of this century is over. Doesn't that sound significant?
What do you have to show for it? Were there any profound lessons learned? When 2000 dawned, did you have lofty goals for the next decade? Did you accomplish the things you set out to do?
So much for losing 5 pounds (my current goal, which sounds rather trivial right now). I want to climb a big mountain. Rainier, Fuji, Orizaba – something like that.
What's on your bucket list? Tell me – you might win a prize.
If you don't want to think about it, here's a pesto recipe instead.
1. Chop garlic in food processor, add spinach, herbs and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Pulse to chop finely. Add the rest of the ingredients and process until slightly smooth. Drizzle over cooked potatoes or use as a dressing for potato salad (or whatever else comes to mind).
Go forth with bucket list in hand. Don't let the next decade pass without accomplishing your goals and realizing your dreams.
P.S. Yes, I realize a bucket list has nothing to do with buckets.
I'm not eating high-calorie treats right now, but that doesn't mean I don't lust after something sweet and chocolatey now and then. Now and then, I say casually, like it's an uncommon occurrence. Let me see, I believe I was dreaming of chocolate in my 5:30 AM yoga class this morning.
Yesss, I do realize dark chocolate should not be the cornerstone of a spiritual path, but there's no reason it can't provide a little inner calm now and then.
With no refined sugar and no dairy, this healthy vegan hot chocolate is what I made upon returning from my down dogs, side planks and arm balances.
Place all ingredients in a small saucepan on low-medium heat. Whisk to blend and continue stirring until it reaches desired temperature. Shave a little dark chocolate on top. Makes 2 servings. Adjust to your liking by tweaking the ingredients.
Contains 150 calories per serving and is rich in vitamin D, vitamin B-12, calcium, iron and phosphorus.
The competition was fierce (see prior post), but in the end, the brownie sundae took the crown. It didn't seem to matter that it's now winter and half the country is experiencing record lows, people have an unrestrained and almost delirious passion for ice cream.
I'm a nutritionist, but half the time I feel like an investigative reporter or an underpaid research geek. My last post and your amazing response sent me into overdrive. I'm obsessed with books, obsessed with research and my office is a study in organized chaos. And although I'm not proud of this, I've had an intimate relationship (a serious love affair) with Amazon.com since 1995. I'm a charter mistress. Talk about insatiable appetites – I have one for books. And damn that Amazon, their one-click ordering with free shipping makes it nearly impossible for me to resist. My UPS guy just shakes his head. I'll get to why and how this ties in with brownie sundaes in a moment, but for now, let's just say this whole dang thing with over-indulging is complicated business.
The brownie sundae was the hand's down favorite, followed by the bacon cheeseburger and the chocolate cake. It's no surprise that raw broccoli came in last. Other than being the choice of some of my hyper-healthy readers, it had no chance against ice cream and chocolate. I like broccoli, but when I'm craving a blissful treat, raw cruciferous veggies don't jump to mind.
Why is that? Why do we choose to pig-out on ice cream and not bok choy? Who obsesses over Brussels sprouts?
Studies show that we're more apt to crave fat, sugar, salt and more fat, sugar and salt. A few of you did said you might choose the broccoli if it was covered with cheese sauce. And a few others mentioned that I failed to include nachos. You're right, chips or cheese fries should have been on my "tempting foods" menu. But no one suggested parsnips or beet greens.
We're almost three weeks into the new year and many of us started 2010 with intentions of eating better, losing weight and exercising more. I did, and right now I'm doing fairly well with my intention, mainly I believe, because I'm focusing on something that trumps the feel-good sensation I get from eating tempting treats. I have a goal and it has nothing to do with conventional dieting.
Diets are bad and they don't work. Changing what you eat, how you think about food and replacing the buzz you get from over-indulging with something physical, is good. And don't count on the food industry to help you out. In fact, be very suspicious of them, very suspicious indeed.
I grew up in Colorado and back in the 50s and 60s, hardly anyone was overweight. I look at old photos from my parents' generation and from when I was a little girl and everyone appears to be a "normal" weight. Our serious weight gain has happened in the last couple of decades and along with it, a rapid rise in lifestyle-related diseases. Two new studies suggest that 2/3rds of adults are now overweight or obese. Check out these guys in the photo above. These are many of the men who lived in a small Colorado mountain community where my dad grew up. The photo was taken sometime in the 1940s. My dad is 4th from the left in the bottom row. Healthy looking guys, right? Fit, handsome characters. If you took the same sampling now, many would be overweight and out of shape. We don't exercise as much and we eat totally different foods from what these guys ate.
There's a variety of reasons we're becoming a nation of overeaters, one of them being what is available to us now. Ridiculous "foods" that weren't around back then. Quick-fix breakfast cereals that turn milk weird shades of pink and purple. Ding Dongs that never spoil. Irresistible brownie ice cream sundaes that are absolutely loaded with sugar, fat and salt and designed to make you want more. That kind of food gives us a sweet rush of dopamine, the "reward" neurotransmitter. We like that feeling and seek out the foods that give us that high. In fact, so much so that we often can't think of anything other than the plate of chocolate chip cookies on the table or the brownie sundae on the menu. Add in the perceived depravation of having celiac disease (no gluten means less treat options) and all the sudden that gluten-free brownie sundae at the chain restaurant (I won't name names) takes on monumental importance. If you feel deprived, you think you need and deserve the "reward" even more. The food industry knows this and has figured out the right mixtures to make us obsess over the brownie sundae or double whopper with fries. Fat, sugar and salt. It's "almost" not our fault. We can "almost" blame the food industry, much like we blamed the tobacco industry. They are a sneaky bunch and they want you to want more of what they're selling. Here's the catch though, if you believe it's not your fault, you have no control.
Power to the people, as Flo says on the Progressive ads! We get to choose.
Yoga helps me overcome the food part because it connects me on a deeper level with my body. I have a greater respect and appreciation for what's going on inside, even on a cellular level. I feel stronger, healthier and have more energy. I like that, it feels better than eating the brownie sundae.
I feel better, I look better, so I continue to eat better. And on it goes.
I'm taking a 4 week arm balancing class right now from one of my favorite yoga instructors. A 4 week inversion class will follow. It's hard to do these poses if I weigh just 5 pounds more than my normal weight, it hurts my wrists and I find I'm not strong enough to hold that much weight upside down (or sideways). Five extra pounds is too much. That's my "tipping point." I need to weigh less and that is my motivation, that is my reward. Yoga trumps my desire to eat high-calorie, low-nutrition food. Most of the time, anyway.
Maybe this will add fuel to your motivational fire. Here's the breakdown of what's in that irresistible brownie sundae that is served at a major US restaurant chain.
So, skip the brownie sundae and take a yoga class. Or ride your bike to the farmer's market and buy some broccoli. You'll feel much better if you do.
P.S. Forgive me Lord, for I have rambled.
It's the new year and more than just a few of us have made resolutions to eat better, lose weight and exercise more. I'm definitely on a mission to lose a few pounds and reset my metabolism after the holidays. I even blogged about it on New Year's Day. Staying on track with healthy eating can be a bit of a roller coaster ride. For me, sugar is the fuel that causes the thrills and spills.
As a nutritionist, I'm always curious as what makes people overeat. Or, what motivates me to eat that last little sliver of cheesecake when I'm cleaning up after a party – even though I'm absolutely stuffed. Why do we even let ourselves get to the point that we're absolutely stuffed? If we're full, why do we pack down one more cookie or the last few bites of the cheeseburger? Or, in my case, two more pancakes floating in maple syrup.
I wonder what those numbers are a decade later, in 2010?
Two out of three American adults are overweight or obese. We've all heard the health risks that accompany being overweight. So, why do we keep shoveling the food in?
This is a test. I had a recipe ready to post today, but the focus at the beginning of the year is always the same and it got me thinking. Why do we do this over and over each year?
According to the research, there are certain food combinations that trigger overeating and understanding why isn't easy. I can't really tell you why I ate the last of the cheesecake while cleaning up the kitchen (and fought my daughter for it). I was full, I certainly didn't need it. There's no good reason, except that I like cheesecake and in some odd way, I find it satisfying. At least while I'm eating it, but then immediately afterwards, I feel like poo and kick myself in the bum for overeating.
Bazillions of dollars are spent on dieting each year; people lose a few pounds, regain it, and then start the process all over again the next January 1st. Why? Back when I was growing up (the fifties and sixties), most people weren't overweight. Weight was fairly stable. What's different now?
I'll expand on this in a later post, but for now, I'd appreciate it if you'd take a survey. Please choose which food you crave most from the choices below and leave your answer in the comment section. I'll post the results in a few days. Be honest, there's no right or wrong. Which one looks the most tempting?
Okay, guys – let me know which one of these choices sets your heart on fire? Are you drooling yet? Which lever would you keep pounding?
I've already scarfed up the pancakes, if you're wondering.
Can you see down that long (hopefully) and winding road that makes up your life journey?
No, none of us can. But I'm going with the intention of living a long and healthy life so I want to make sure I'm positioning myself to do so. And in style.
No better day to start than today.
I have trouble considering myself as anything other than early-middle-aged (oooh, that seems strange), so to have that play out chronologically, I need to make my way to the other side of 100. And as I said before, do it with style. I want to be one of those old ladies doing handstands on the beach (or the only one), telemark skiing and climbing mountains with Colorado's "over the hill gang." Perhaps sporting an antique blond (also known as grey) ponytail and wearing chic and groovy clothes. Even golden girls can feel good, look good and be full of life. I want to eventually be that golden girl.
No time to waste. I need to be preparing for that now. I got sidetracked with the holidays and have been baking (and eating) muffins, cookies and cakes. Drinking red wine and eating dark chocolate. Not exercising enough. My metabolism is off-kilter and I've gained 6 pounds. Okay, I know I should know better and I'm not going to mention any names, but it's not entirely my fault.
Now that the holiday roller coaster ride is over, I'm ready to get back on track with a healthy eating and exercise program. If you're remotely interested, read on. Here's what I'm going to do to lose that 6 pounds, reset my metabolism and get back in shape before this uptick in weight becomes the norm. That's how it happens, my friends. Before you know it, this slow, inauspicious cookie-creep becomes an accepted part of your backside (or spare tire for the guys).
I don't want to go there. I want to be able to do cartwheels when I'm 80 and each extra pound makes stuff like that sooo much harder to do. Pretty soon playing upside down is longer an option. And that's not in my plan.
Your plan may be different, but the bottom line is the same. We want to stay healthy for a variety of reasons, whatever they may be.
This isn't a cleansing protocol, that will come in the spring. This is my basic weight loss protocol. Nothing complicated, but after the sugar rush of the holidays, certainly not easy.
1. I'll eat a good, healthy and relaxed breakfast each morning. Something like a bowl of GF oatmeal, a smoothie, a sliced apple with almond butter and a cup of goat kefir, or poached eggs with greens on teff toast. The best thing right now is something fairly substantial, but not high in calories – and with a mix of protein, carbs and fat.
2. No snacking in between meals. I'll stick with herbal tea or water.
3. Exercise every day. I will either go to yoga, go for a long walk, ride my bike (or indoor trainer), go skiing – anything that gets me moving, stretching, breathing and thriving.
4. Eat my main meal at lunch – something like a healthy bowl of soup or stew, a side salad and a few flax crackers.
5. Eat a light dinner before 6 PM. No snacking after dinner. I'll drink some nice mellow herbal tea with honey before bed.
6. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Have an occasional glass of red wine on the weekend, but not during the week. No sugar, no processed foods, smaller portions, no snacking in between meals.
That's a start. I had a bowl of oatmeal (see recipe below) for breakfast early this morning and now I'm going to go ride my bike trainer and listen to 80s music on my iPod.
1. Bring water to a boil, slowly add oats and teff, stir well and turn heat to low (the lowest setting).
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, blend well, cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Check and stir occasionally. Add a touch more water if you need to.
Serve with brown rice milk and raw honey. Makes 2 hearty servings.
* Some people with celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity don't do well with oats even if they are pure and uncontaminated, so check with your health care provider before adding oats to your diet.
6. Straight Up (Paula Abdul, 1980) Sorry about this one, but who can resist singing along?
7. Thing Called Love (Bonnie Raitt, 1989) Go, Bonnie, go!
It's 2010, let's get moving!


Everyone loves cats on the internet. There are 32 million cat videos on YouTube! Some people have suggested that cats remind people of babies and because of this, maybe we're biologically programmed to care so much about them.
But fellas, if your lady prefers the cat over you, that might be a good sign to look for the nearest exit anyways. If your girlfriend confines in the cat for advice, throws birthday parties for the cat, or has a Facebook or Instagram page dedicated just to Mr. Muggles, you could be dating a crazy cat lady. See Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can be spread through contact with cat feces, and has been linked to mental illness. Cats might actually make you crazy and the internet sure is already crazy about them!
You're actually supposed to have two litter boxes per cat. It's recommended by a lot of vets.
a mi me gusta mas Oskar. ¡es lindisimo!
I Love Oskar I just love him and I'm a guy.
The bit about how cats can make you crazy is complete bunk.
Might as well face it.. we don't say "sleeping with the cat"!
As always nice stuffs! Thanks Daniel Zeevi!
I don't think this is an "increasing" problem. I guess this is an attempt at humor but it really trades on gender stereotypes. I know lots of men who are "crazy" about cats, too.

How many types of memos are there?
When composing a memo, always take the four-step approach to writing: plan what you want to say, write a draft, revise the draft, and edit. There are four types of memos you might have to write, each with its own organizational format: information, problem-solving, persuasion, and internal memo proposal.
How many paragraphs is a memo?
In memos that make requests or announcements, keep the sentence lengths and paragraph lengths relatively short. Sentences should average fewer than twenty words, and paragraphs should average fewer than seven lines. Also, keep the total memo length to under one page, if possible.
How do I start a business memo?
How to write a business memo
List the purpose of the memo in the introductory paragraph.
Be concise and keep the language positive throughout.
Communicate the message of the memo in the subject line.
Use the body paragraph and conclusion to break down your information.
What are the features of memo?
The key features of a successful memo are as follows:
A memo should always start by representing the reason for the communication.
Focus one key topic or subject.
Explain total subject in short, simple, direct sentences.
Use language that is clear and unambiguous with a polite tone.
What is a memo and examples?
A memo (also known as a memorandum, or "reminder") is used for internal communications regarding procedures or official business within an organization. Unlike an email, a memo is a message you send to a large group of employees, like your entire department or everyone at the company.
Why does a memo include a subject line?
The subject line serves as the memo's title. Most longer memos consist of an introduction, a discussion, and a conclusion. In the introduction, tell readers what prompted you to write (such as a problem or question about a specific procedure or policy), and provide any necessary background information….
How do you cite an attachment?
If you cite an attachment in the body, provide a brief notation at the bottom of the letter as well for quick reference. You can also cite the name or type of attachment, or number of pages before the notation. For example, you might note "2 Enc" or "Yearly Report Enclosed."
Why do we write memo?
Memos have a twofold purpose: they bring attention to problems, and they solve problems. They accomplish their goals by informing the reader about new information like policy changes, price increases, or by persuading the reader to take an action, such as attend a meeting, or change a current production procedure.
What memo means?
A memo is a written message. The intent of most memos is to help you remember something, or to remind another person of something. In a business or government setting, it's particularly important to keep written notes on decisions and communications between people.
What is a good memo?
A good business memo is brief and to the point. Clearly state your purpose without going into exhaustive detail and description. Let's say you're announcing that a product is being discontinued. State when production will cease and briefly cite any pertinent facts that back up the decision.
How do you note attachments in a memo?
For an attachment(s) identified in the body of the memo, just type Attachment or Attachments at the left margin. If the material is not identified in the body of the memo, add a colon (i.e., Attachment:) and, beginning on the next line, list the material, giving a title or short description.
What is the layout characteristics of memos writing?
The text of memos typically uses block format, with single-spaced lines, an extra space between paragraphs, and no indentions for new paragraphs. However, if a report using memo format stretches to a few pages in length, double spacing may be used to improve its readability.
Do you initial a memo?
A memo does not include a signature line. But you should initial the memo with a pen in the header. Write your initials next to your name. This indicates that you have approved the memo.
What are the uses of memos?
Memos are used within a company or organization to report information, make a request, or recommend an action; although in some places, they have been replaced by emails….
What are the main objectives of memo?
Memos have a twofold purpose: they bring attention to problems and they solve problems. They accomplish their goals by informing the reader about new information like policy changes, price increases, or by persuading the reader to take an action, such as attend a meeting, or change a current production procedure.
What is the difference between a letter and a memorandum?
A memorandum or shortly known as a memo is a precise official note, used to inform, direct or advise the members within the same organisation. A letter refers to a brief message sent by the company to the person or entity, which are outsiders. ……

MAJOR SLAPDOWN OF SYRIAN KINGPIN BY REALIST FM LIEBERMAN…….
By KGSaccess_time10 years agochat_bubble_outlineLeave a comment
Israeli FM Avigdor Lieberman: Keep screwing us around Assad, and your heretic Shiite Alawite clan will no longer be in a position of power, and then what?
Oh and the Turks want to act as mediators for the resuming of peace talks..yeah, right. I like what Lieberman has to say to the Syrians, shut up, give up dreams of the Golan and don't dare to attack us, because you'll pay a heavy price. That's how dictators are spoken to. KGS
FM: If Syria provokes Israel, Assad will be out of power
Lieberman blasts Syrian president for claiming Israel leading Middle East towards war, says Assad made a "direct threat on Israel," calls on Damascus to give up demand for Golan Heights.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman on Thursday morning blasted Syrian President Bashar Assad for saying Israel was "leading the region towards war," and warned the leadership in Damascus that in the next war, Syria would be defeated by Israel.
Speaking at an event at Bar-Ilan University, Lieberman warned Assad that in an event of war with Israel, "not only will you lose the war, you and your family will no longer be in power."
The leaders in Syria care only about their power, Lieberman claimed, and therefore it is important that Damascus understands a war with Israel will drive Bashar Assad and the Assad family out of power.
"I tell Assad and [Syrian Foreign Minister Walid] al-Moallem clearly – what was said yesterday marked a dramatic change of game, a direct threat on the State of Israel. I think that a line was crossed, and this cannot be tolerated," the foreign minister said.
"We heard Defense Minister [Ehud] Barak's sincere call for peace with Syria, and we have now received Syria's answer. Whoever thinks territorial concessions will disconnect Damascus from the Axis of Evil is wrong," Lieberman asserted.
The foreign minister went on to stress that he supports peace with Syria as long as the Golan Heights remain in Israel's hands.
"Syria must understand that it has to let go of the demand for the Golan, in the same way that it gave up on the Greater Syria dream," said Lieberman.
Lieberman also warned the Palestinian Authority, and called on the Palestinian leadership to resume peace talks with Israel.
"I want to tell [PA Prime Minister] Salam Fayyad and Abu-Mazen [PA President Mahmoud Abbas]: Without immediate, direct negotiations, not only will you not have a state in two years, you will also lose control over Judea and Samaria as you did in Gaza. Negotiations are not only an Israeli interest, nor a favor that anyone does for Israel."
Lieberman's remarks came hours after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu expressed disappointment with Assad's claim that Israel was pushing the region towards war, saying instead that the reality was quite the opposite.
"Netanyahu has said many times that he would be prepared to meet and negotiate with Syria, as long as [Damascus] does not set any preconditions. Unfortunately, Syria is the one that is setting obstacles [to peace]," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement overnight Wednesday.

Our psychiatrists specialize in mood disorder treatment. A mood disorder is the general term used to describe a disturbance in mood that typically manifests as an episode or a series of episodes and that significantly detracts from one's quality of life or capacity for normal functioning. The most common include depressive disorders, which can be chronic or acute, and bipolar disorder, which is characterized by episodes of mania and depression.
Psychiatric evaluation is required in order to establish an accurate diagnosis. Depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, treatment may include medication, such as antidepressants or mood stabilizers, as well as various forms of therapy to relieve the symptoms and facilitate healthy functioning.

MapleStory 2 – A quick look at the Alpha phase for upcoming sequel
Home » MapleStory 2 – A quick look at the Alpha phase for upcoming sequel
Do take note that the videos do not belong to me, but from the Korean community. The Alpha test phase for MapleStory 2 is currently ongoing, with a selected group lucky enough to give the game a shot. First off, a footage of the in-game combat and some map exploration to satisfy your curiosity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8Y9nl9Bbu4
Entering boss dungeons retains the same format, though everything now is in 3D with an isometric view. While dodging is important in the original MapleStory, it is even more active and required in the sequel during boss fights. It would really be nice if any player can just revive fallen team-mates.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27VWoZvZOR0
The housing system is something the testers looked forward to, and it seems empty plot spaces reside even in the open world maps, rather than cramping everything into main cities. Of course, these locations are hidden from monster attacks. I wonder if there are enough spaces for everyone…

Finally, a couple of mini-games. The first mini-game will take some time to digest, but the concept is really simple once getting the big picture. Oh yes, the camera view is switched back to platform side-view! The 2nd mini-game is something like musical chairs, though players drop into the abyss instead.

Invest in Rochford
Being located to the east of London in the Thames Gateway, and to the north of Southend urban area, the District of Rochford offers a very well-connected business base, yet a distinctly historic and rural setting and experience. The District has three main towns; Rayleigh, Hockley and Rochford, as well as a number of outlying villages and hamlets, and is home to over 3,300 businesses. The majority of businesses which are located in the District are small to medium sized and we will continue to support their development. However, there is significant potential for larger businesses to thrive here, especially with the development of a brand new large, high quality business park within walking distance of London Southend Airport and the London Liverpool Street line, which connects businesses with the capital in under an hour.
Grow your business in Rochford
There are so many reasons why you should consider investing in Rochford District, including:
Great rail links – With frequent trains into London on the Southend Victoria to Liverpool Street line, there is easy access into the city from all four of the District's train stations. Trains into London from Rochford, Hockley or Rayleigh take 50 minutes or less.
Well connected roads – The District benefits from an east-west strategic highway network (A127 and A13) into London, M25 and beyond, and north-south links to Chelmsford (A1245 and A130).
Access to a thriving regional airport – London Southend Airport is on the doorstep with its own train station, which is within 11 minutes of the District's three other train stations. Connect with other parts of the UK, Europe and beyond.
New, high quality business park being developed – To the north of London Southend Airport, just to the south west of Rochford train station, a new large-scale, high-quality and high-tech business park is being developed.
Bustling, mixed-use employment sites – Whatever you're looking for we have a range of sites which are home to a mix of high-tech, manufacturing, light industrial, retail and leisure uses. From small retail, office and service sites to large manufacturing sites.
Access to superfast broadband – Much of the District is connected to high speed broadband, with further phases due to be rolled out over the next few years.
Thriving, historic town centres – The towns of Rochford, Rayleigh and Hockley are steeped in history and offer a unique location to businesses.
Education, training and apprenticeships – With four sixth forms in the District and University of Essex campus, South Essex College and SEEVIC college a short distance away there is an accessible pool of available talent.
Close proximity to high-population centres – There is a large pool of potential employees in the District, and other centres nearby offer an accessible workforce for any business.
High quality of life – Although well connected, we are the green lung of the Thames Gateway, the District has a distinct rural feel and there are many accessible parks and open spaces. The district's coastline provides a wonderful place for walking, cycling, bird-watching, painting, photography or simply taking in the sea air. Wildlife havens include Foulness Island and the Roach Valley Conservation Zone. The Wallasea Island Wild Coast project is a landmark conservation and engineering scheme.

Q: Keyboard shortcut for switching between open windows
Possible Duplicate:
Best app to switch between all open windows (alternatives to Witch)

On Windows and Linux one can switch between open windows by pressing Alt+Tab. On the Mac pressing Cmd+Tab only lets one switch between windows of different applications. In order to switch between windows of the same application one has to press Cmd+` instead.
Is it possible to disable that behavior, and use Cmd+Tab to switch between all windows regardless of whether they belong to the same application?

A: Witch is the way to go. I used it everyday for many years and it never let me down. The support is great and reactive. In addition, it has many option, so you can configure it to your desires and then forget it isn't part of OS X.

Negronis and Old Fashioneds aren't the only trendy drinks on the London cocktail scene; creative mixologists are adding more out-there options to their menus, using ingredients like bone marrow, Marmite, and bacon. Here are some of the best (and, okay, weirdest) new cocktails to try in London.
Barrel-aging cocktails is certainly not a new trend—bars all over the globe have been using this method of cocktail creation for a while now—but they are relatively new to London, with Silk & Grain being one of the key pioneers. And without doubt, its charred barrel-aged Negronis are far smoother and silkier than their contemporaries.
Fizzy cocktails aren't limited to just Bellinis or G&Ts. Recently, Village East in Bermondsey has introduced a menu of carbonated beverages that pack quite a wallop. Poured straight out of a keg called the 'Village Fountain,' the four gin-based drinks change evert week; our recent favorite was flavored with cucumber and thyme.
Forget celery in your Bloody Mary. The Diner offers a version with far more novelty and pizzazz: a pitcher of Bloody Mary garnished with onion rings, hot dogs, grilled corn, lamb slammers, cheese, pickles and bacon salt. It's like a full meal in and of itself rather than a mere cocktail.
If you're a fan of canned fish—tuna, mackerel, sardines, and the like—Megaro's Fisherman Can Martini will likely speak to your very soul. Creatively presented in a tinned fish-style can, the wet-style martini made with Plymouth Navy Gin (and the bar's proprietary Old Man and the Sea Essence, whatever that entails) allows diners to pour their own drink from can to glass.
Those who favor the cheese board over dessert should hot-foot to Gong, a bar on the 52nd floor of the Shard. London's highest bar serves a creation called the Black and Blue Swizzle, which combines Talisker scotch, honey, lime, sherry and—the kicker—blue cheese.
Sweet or salty are your regular options for popcorn, but the options are much more varied at Steam & Rye. The Maize Balls cocktail is served over crushed ice in a popcorn tub, and mixes dark rum, popcorn-infused Monin syrup and lime juice. To keep the kistchy theme going, the whole thing is served with a bit of popcorn.

Dwyer - Pittsfield: (413) 442-5094
Pittsfield: 413) 445-4064
Dalton: (413) 684-0215
We have years of experience caring for families, from all walks of life. Each family comes to us because they know we are leaders in our profession, dedicated to excellence in service, and have the highest integrity.
Dwyer funeral home, founded July 1, 1904 is observing its 115th anniversary.
Simon P. Dwyer founded the business in a storefront at 22 Peck's Rd. In 1914, it was moved to a storefront at 138 Wahconah St. After Dwyer died in 1919, his son, F. Emmett Dwyer, took over the business at the age of 17 and moved it to a home at 776 North St., its present location, in 1920.
Emmett Dwyer purchased the former Michael Dowling homestead and transformed it into a funeral home. An addition, including a chapel and five rooms, was added in 1927. Another chapel was added on the south side in 1954, and the entire funeral home was redecorated. It became Pittsfield's first funeral home.
"All were storefronts at that time," said Robert E. Dwyer, president of the company and grandson of the founder. His son, Robert E. Dwyer, Jr., is the fourth generation in the business. "It's one of the oldest still owned by the same family," Dwyer said.
Besides his son, his wife, the former Deborah Pender, is a licensed apprentice funeral director and embalmer in the business, as well as a real estate broker and registered nurse.
Roger J. Nilan had been in the business for 47 years until his passing in 2017. Robert Jr. has been a licensed funeral directors and embalmer for 28 years. Dwyer owns eight buildings that surround the funeral home. "I own four buildings in a row on North St. and, when anything comes up for sale, I buy It to protect our property and to have ample parking." He said.
The funeral home has been remodeled and enlarged to nearly twice its original size and all areas are fully accessible to the handicapped.

Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 1200W PSU Review
be quiet! says it's committed to building silent products, including the company's top PSU line, the Dark Power Pro 11. In this review, we will put the 1200 W Dark Power Pro 11 model to the test, which promises good performance and silent operation.

The box is large and heavy, and unfortunately, it doesn't have a top handle. On the front, there's a photo of the PSU with the modular panel exposed on a dark background. In the front top-right corner, the 80 Plus Platinum badge is featured along with two icons that describe the modular design and the Silent Wings fan. On the back of the box, be quiet! offers useful information about the PSU's technical characteristics, including the power specifications, dimensions and a table listing all available cables and connectors and their length.
The contents are nicely arranged, and the PSU is fully protected by two pieces of packing foam that totally surrounds the unit.
A smaller box stores a multitude of accessories that come with the PSU. The bundle includes a set of Velcro straps; some zip ties; two sets of screws, one of which includes thumb screws; the user manual, an AC power cord; the overclocking key bracket; and modular cables.
The finish and look of this unit is sleek and modern. That's expected, though, considering this is the company's flagship PSU. The only downside is that the glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet (which made our photo shoot process much more difficult). On the front, the small on/off switch is right beside the AC receptacle, while two labels on the sides show the unit's model number and the Platinum badge. The power specifications label is installed on the bottom of the PSU.
On the back of the unit, only the main ATX cable is native. The modular panel includes many sockets; the smaller black ones are destined for the fan cables, while the small white one is for the overclocking key.
To further restrict noise output, be quiet! equips all Dark Power Pro units with rubber edges to absorb vibrations. The previous Dark Power Pro units also featured similar rubber edges. Finally, a typical fan grille for a be quiet! PSU definitely adds significantly to the unit's nice look.
Strangely enough, be quiet! didn't use stealth cables, which is typical not only for PSUs in this price category but also for many lower-end units. In addition, some users might prefer flat modular cables to the usual round ones.

-12V Rail is very cool. These are really well built PSUs. I'd rather have a SeaSonic SS-1200 at this price range. I was expecting a better transient response change on the 5V rail, oh well.
chalabam 04 October 2015 08:04
Interesting, but way too much focus on PSUs over the kW, when the system builder marathons had peak overclocked power at 750w (and mostly 500w) for years now.
And those computers spend most of the time running at 50/100 w, where even this unit efficiency is poor.
Good review, anyway, but I think that Tomshardware should focus on units that readers are more probable to buy. That info is more useful.

Why you need 1200 W? What are you running?
Just because it's rated for 1200W doesn't mean you're drawing 1200W from the wall. The PSU in the article is a 1200W PSU so it makes sense to compare the two.
Power supplies are more efficient and put off less heat when they're not near their maximum load. If your system draws 500W you don't want to use a 550W PSU, you would be straining the PSU. SLI/CrossFire builds with multiple graphic processors can achieve a power draw of over 750W on the PCI Express rails alone!
I don't have a use for 1200W, but that wouldn't stop me from paying extra for better components, efficiency, and reduced noise.
Aris_Mp 04 October 2015 10:40
indeed a PSU's peak efficiency is with typical loads (40-50% of its max rated capacity). However you should also take into account how long your system operates at full load. For example if your system is mostly working at idle or at low utilization then you will probably have more gain with a lower capacity PSU rather than with a high capacity one. On the other hand at high loads the stronger PSU will be closer to its sweet spot, having higher efficiency.
It is absolutely true that power supplies are usually at their best efficiency around 50% of their maximum load, but that doesn't necessarily mean a smaller PSU is better. An AX1500 can peak at ~94% 12V efficiency, which is really good, but even at 300W it's still producing 91% efficiency, and over 90% at 150W.
The AX1500i is a very special case :)
Be that as it may it's important to look at all of the factors. Amperage, Ripple, Efficiency, Hold-up, etc. Most important of all of course is build integrity and architecture. The best PSUs do have high loads, because well, they can handle it. They'll also last longer at any load.
An average load for an i7 user with a single high-powered video card is ~350W (gaming), a 980ti under maximum stress can be a 300-350W draw alone, bringing that up to a potential ~550W. In this scenario an RM750X is gold rated and will perform better than a Supernova P2 650W which is platinum rated. Both are extraordinary power supplies and I'd use either one. My point is, maximum load shouldn't matter. If a power supply meets more than your demands consider that a good thing. Most people aren't going to buy these PSUs unless they have a use for them because there's other options available.
The Dark Power Pro 11 in this article retains >90% efficiency from 200W-800W, which is a wide range, and your system load would want to fall between that range to be in the "sweet spot." A smaller PSU has a much smaller "sweet spot," but it could prove to be better.

indeed a PSU's peak efficiency is with typical loads (40-50% of its max rated capacity). However you should also take into account how long your system operates at full load.
It is absolutely true that power supplies are usually at their best efficiency around 50% of their maximum load, but that doesn't necessarily mean a smaller PSU is better.
All switching power supplies decrease their efficiencies as their load decreases, typically starting at or near 50% load and often rapidly decreasing efficiencies as their load falls below 20%.
For desktop systems, unless you run a distributed computation project in the background, 80-95% of the time the system is powered on, the system is idle or near-idle. In my limited testing a desktop system likely draws 50-100W at idle, so with a 1000W power supply it's operating at 5-10% load, and thus at its worst efficiencies.
With Haswell and newer consumer Intel's CPUs maxing out at 145W (I believe) at stock frequencies, and most video cards needing under 200-250 W maximum (980Ti 250W), a system with a single GPU rarely needs more then 600W.
Specifying the PS for 50% load (for maximum efficiency) to match the maximum load the system is actually capable of drawing is a poor efficiency trade-off, as the system will spend the majority of time time at under 20% utilization, at its worst efficiency, that the few percentage points of increased efficiency (at 50% load versus moderately higher loads) will result in a net lost.
Edited: Clarify first paragraph
Yes but titanium efficiency PSUs retain 90% efficiency at a 10% load and platinum achieve at least 90% efficiency at 20% load. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus
If the components are good they'll be able to handle a large load. There's no such thing as a good PSU that can't handle a large load. Most platinum PSUs can handle well over what they're rated for.

Page revised in December 2020.
- Monreale: Interior of the Cathedral
(left) Temple to Hercules at Agrigento; (right) detail of the apse of Palermo's Cathedral
You may wish to read an introduction to this section or a page on Monreale first.
The interior is magnificent; the great span of the nave gives an air of spaciousness, and the treatment of the east end is superb. In the apse is a huge figure of Christ in mosaic, which dominates everything; marble lines the lower walls, and mosaic the rest. The wooden roofs are modern, replacing those that were burnt not long ago, of which I assume they are a copy. They are rich in gold and colour, and the effect is splendid. (..) The interior of Monreale, with its blaze of colour and interior gold, its rich marbles, its delicate sculpture, and its ample and spacious dimensions, has no rival.
Thomas Graham Jackson - Gothic architecture in France, England, and Italy - 1915
(left) Northern wall of the nave; (right) detail of a capital
This Edifice, which displays the best style of Norman architecture, not very long since suffered considerably from fire, but is now completely and judiciously repaired in a style corresponding with the rest of the Structure. Here are superb ancient Columns of Granite each of which has a Cornucopia and the Head of a Female Divinity in its Capital; here also are Columns of Porphyry and a profusion of Gothic Mosaics.
Mariana Starke - Travels in Europe for the Use of Travellers on the Continent and likewise in the Island of Sicily - 1838 Edition - based on a travel to Sicily made in 1834.
The interior being well lit, it is much better seen and enjoyed than the Capella Palatina (but that was before modern lighting). But this effect which now delights us was not the intention of the original architects. The Sicilian churches, says Professor Salinas (Director of the Archaeological Museum of Palermo in 1873-1914) were originally lighted dimly by windows filled either with sheets of lead pierced with small openings, or with traceries of plaster, at first tinglazed, and afterwards glazed with coloured glass. This lead-work was employed in the cathedrals of Monreale and Palermo, so that the scarcity of light might "strike a sacred horror". (..) The nave is eight bays long, with nine columns on a side, of which one to the right on entry is of cipollino and the rest are of granite. Some of the capitals are evidently Roman antiques misfitting the columns; but half of the number are rather puzzling. They consist of cornucopias forming volutes above acanthus leaves, and between the cornucopias is a disc with a classical female head. They are admirably carved, and yet so perfect and free from any sign of age or any mutilation that one can at first sight hardly accept them as antique. And yet it is impossible they can be works of the Renaissance, which is the only alternative, for such an introduction of new capitals would not have escaped the historian. One can only suppose that the columns were taken from some Roman building, and as the capitals fit them perfectly, they probably belonged to one another and were brought here together. This seems to be the opinion of the local archaeologists. All the arches are pointed and stilted, and spring from a pulvino (a piece in the form of a truncated pyramid, see those at Ravenna), which is encased in mosaic like the rest of the superstructure. No string-course or cornice of any kind breaks the smooth surface of the wall above, which is only divided by the bands of the mosaic patterns. There is a clerestory window over each arch, and the aisles are well lit by similar openings. T. G. Jackson
Mosaic in the apse showing Jesus Christ Pantocrator (Almighty)(see a mosaic at Hagia Sophia in Constantinople with the right hand fingers in the same position)
The great half-length figure of Christ in the pointed semi-dome of the apse resembles that at Cefalu, with the right hand in the same act of benediction, and a book in the left, inscribed with the same text in Latin and Greek. (..) No one, I think, can fail to see the superiority of the Christ at Cefalù to that at Monreale, which was obviously copied from it, and though a fine work, has not the expressive dignity of the original. T. G. Jackson
Mosaic showing St. James, St. Peter, St. Michael the Archangel and the Virgin Mary holding Jesus Christ. She is indicated by the letters MP OY (Mother of God) and by the title "Panagia" (All Holy). This word is used by Greeks to indicate a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary, e.g. Panagia Halkeon (St. Mary or Our Lady of the Smiths) at Thessalonica
There are only two zones of figures here in the drum of the apse, of which the upper one has a seated Madonna with the child Jesus in her lap, between two angels, beyond whom are figures of saints. T. G. Jackson
The inscriptions of the first mosaics to be completed were written in Greek which was the ceremonial language used by the Christians of Sicily during the Arab rule. The Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox Churches split in 1054; at that time parts of southern Italy, especially those along the coasts, were under direct Byzantine rule (Catepanate of Italy with Bari in Apulia as capital). Nicodemus, Bishop of Palermo at the time of the Norman conquest was a Greek and was loyal to the Patriarch of Constantinople. The portrayal of St. Peter in a central position in the mosaic of the apse shows that the Norman kings promoted the acceptance of the primacy of the Popes.
Sts. Hilarion, Benedict, Mary Magdalene and Agatha, patron saint of Catania, but also one of the patron saints of Palermo, prior to St. Rosalia. Their names are written in Latin
Splendid as is their general effect in the interior, the mosaics at Monreale, when carefully examined, will be found inferior in design to those we have described in the choir of the Palatine Chapel, at Cefalu, and at La Martorana. It is suggested that they were not the work of Greek artists, but of Sicilians who had learned from them. Most of the inscriptions are in Latin. (..) An extensive repair of the mosaics took place between 1811 and 1847. T. G. Jackson
Mosaics depicting Noah and the Ark
It is widely believed that some of the mosaics were made by Byzantine craftsmen in ca 1180-1190. They were accustomed to decorating small domes and apses as at Christ Pantokrator, the largest XIIth century church in Constantinople and they had to adjust to the wide flat surfaces of the walls of the Cathedral. A few years later in 1204 the conquest of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade led to the destruction of many churches, so perhaps those at Monreale can be regarded as the swansong of the Byzantine mosaic tradition. You may wish to see a XIIth century mosaic at Hagia Sophia.

Among the mosaics appears the figure of the King offering his church to a seated Madonna. Two angels with outstretched arms float above, and the divine hand is extended in benediction. (..) Also in mosaic is a coronation of William II by Christ, who is enthroned with a book in his left hand, and by his right hand, is placing the crown on the King's head. T. G. Jackson
You can see these mosaics in the introductory page.

The presbytery retains the original XIIth century floor. In Rome this type of marble inlays is known as Cosmati work with reference to the family of craftsmen who made use of them in the decoration of many churches of the city, e.g. S. Maria in Cosmedin.
1575 Tomb of King William II erected by Ludovico de' Torres, Archbishop of Monreale
Over the archbishop's throne is the portrait of William the Good, who lies interred in a tomb at the feet of his father, William the Bad. The latter monarch is deposited in a monument of porphyry, exactly similar to those in the cathedral of Palermo.
Henry Swinburne - Travels in the Two Sicilies. 1777-1780
Monreale and Palermo are two distinct archiepiscopal sees although the two towns are only a few miles away. The Archbishop of Monreale could rely on the revenues of large estates. In the XVIth century it was a very sought after appointment. Cardinal Alessandro Farnese managed to be appointed Archbishop and he enjoyed the income of the archdiocese from 1536 to 1573. He was succeeded by two members of the de' Torres Spanish family by the same name (Ludovico). The second one was eventually created cardinal and he is known for having restored S. Pancrazio in Rome.
Cappella del Crocifisso or Roano: (left) The Jesse Tree (a not very common subject in Italian churches of the XVIIth century, you may wish to see it in a church at Kastoria in Greece) and a wooden Crucifix; (right) details of the decoration
In 1692 Archbishop Giovanni Roano felt that at least a corner of his Cathedral should be decorated in line with the fashion of his time. The religious purpose of the new chapel was that to properly house a wooden Crucifix which was assumed to have been donated to the church by King William II (today it is dated XVth century). The decoration is typical of contemporary churches of Palermo. It was based on marmi mischi (mixed marbles) as at SS. Salvatore.
Cappella del Crocifisso or Roano: (left) 1690 floor marble inlay depicting Jonah being thrown overboard; (right) marble inlay of a hand basin in the sacristy
The long inscription on the sail explains why Jonah was regarded as a symbol of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ (he was very often portrayed in early Christian sarcophagi and mosaics). It then goes on to say that Archbishop Roano was buried underneath. The decoration of a tomb by a large floor marble inlay can be noticed also in some Roman churches of the same period e.g. Tomba Spinola at S. Andrea al Quirinale.

The TV Ratings Guide saturday night live review Saturday Night Live Report Card: Season 43, Episode 11: Jessica Chastain
Saturday Night Live Report Card: Season 43, Episode 11: Jessica Chastain
Rebecca Bunch 1:37 AM saturday night live review
Two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain hosts SNL for her first time this week. After a string of underwhelming episodes, I'm hoping that this one can be a marked improvement. I'm hoping it can be, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Cold Open: Trump Doctor Press Conference:
This was pretty hit-or-miss, with the Sarah Huckabee parts being really funny and the doctor guy's parts being pretty dull. The best part was Pete Davidson coming out as his best character, Pete Davidson, to ask questions about the president's alleged affair. The sketch had its moments, but all in all wasn't anything special. I would have preferred a simple Sarah Huckabee Sanders sketch.
Jessica Chastain Monologue:
I'm conflicted on this one because I really freaking love the song You Don't Own Me, so I'm glad to see it used anywhere. However, the monologue just wasn't really all that funny. It had a few funny moments. Unfortunately, none of those came from host Chastain, with the interjections from the cast members about the Women's March being the only really worthwhile part of this monologue.
My Score: 7/10
Car Hunk:
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I watch the Bachelor. And this may be the most accurate parody SNL has ever done. I especially enjoy Aidy Bryant's super classy character that always appears here, who's always a welcome sight. Also, mini-golf with Young Sheldon sounds fun. SNL needs to make a sketch about that.
Fresh Prince:
I wasn't sure where this was going at first, but this actually turned out to be really hilarious. The Fresh Prince getting chased by a gang, faking his own death with the help of Jessica Chastain, and ultimately getting in a shootout with that gang is so absurd that it just works. I wish this was a real episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, though. That would've swept the Emmys.
Google Talk:
This was okay, but it went on for too long, with the laughs too far and few between. The joke here was that there was a guy that looks like Bart Simpson that gets teased for that very reason. It's funny when you first see him, but it just goes on for too long to remain so. Even a call from someone impersonating Bart's sister Maggie doesn't save it from mediocrity.
What Even Matters Anymore?:
I really enjoyed this, especially since you could see the show's host (AKA Jessica Chastain) getting more and more upset as time goes along. The creation of outlandish (but maybe not too outlandish for present-day politics) scenarios was really funny, and I loved the moment when they had Chastain stop the sketch to make sure she was okay. She obviously wasn't. Cecily storming off when she realized that nothing really matters was the moment of the sketch, though.
Weekend Update:
Kate McKinnon has an admirable turn here as Robert Mueller, but Jost and Che's desk jokes were the best part of this Update by far. Cecily Strong's turn as Stormy Daniels was good-not-great, and the piece with Princes William & Harry was sometimes funny but was mostly annoying. That all does drag this above average Update down a bit. On a side note, Now I really wanna see Mike Pence as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race. Can we make that happen?
Amazon's New Headquarters:
There were some parts of this that I didn't care for, like the opening portion of it, but once the representatives from each city started to arrive, it got much better. My personal favorite was Atlanta, with its mention of the Atlanta Olympics, the bombing at that Olympics, and an appearance by the one and only Paula Dean.
Taco Math:
This was super dumb, kinda like the surgeons in this sketch that couldn't understand how to properly order two tacos, but it's stupidity actually made it very funny. This concept seems like something that would be an absolute disaster, because it just seems quite annoying, but I never actually got annoyed at it. I just laughed at it a lot, especially when Aidy Bryant's character came and offered to pay for the women's tacos just to end it all.
Doctor's Orders:
Chad's back! And like usual, this was a wonderful sketch about someone bafflingly being in love with him. I didn't love this character at first, but it's really grown on me and I always love a Chad appearance. The only disappointing thing here was that Chad never did the Doink Doink.
Movie Set:
I've started to tire of this recurring sketch, which started out wonderfully weird but has now become just weird. It's the same joke every single time, and it just gets tiring. I wish they could add something to make it more original, but the whole point of the sketch is that this acting coach makes them act goofy, and there's no way to make that original. It's time to just retire this character.
Wrap-Up:
This was a much better episode than last week's, and also the best since the Saoirse Ronan episode. Jessica Chastain did a formidable job as host, and she continues this season's trend of first-time hosts being the best hosts. While there was some stuff in the episode that I didn't enjoy, including a monologue that wasn't very funny and a bland sketch about Google, much of the content was solid. Nothing here tonight was perfect, but nothing here was terrible, either.
Score: 8.5/10
Pass or Fail: Pass
MVP of the Week: Aidy Bryant
Sketch of the Night: What Even Matters Anymore?
Worst of the Night: Google Talk
Top 5 Hosts of the Season:
1) Chance the Rapper

4) Jessica Chastain
5) Kumail Nanjiani

In 2016, Love Park was officially demolished. This ended the over 25-year run of one of skateboarding's most famous plazas. Many tributes eulogizing the place that spawned the careers of Stevie Williams, Josh Kalis, Anthony Pappalardo, and Brian Wenning, to name a few, have been released since. But what might be the ultimate piece paying homage to Love is currently in production.
The second trailer for Chris Mulhern's 15th & JFK dropped yesterday. It features Jimmy Chung—whom you may remember from old 90s-era 411s and ADI skateboards—talking about his experience at the spot.
There's no word on a release date as of yet, but this is certainly something to look forward to.
This is the one—the video that changed the trajectory of The Berrics. Johnny Romano forever.
Stacking benches and rails two-by-two… Torey was definitely getting higher for his Battle Commander—the gnarliest and longest one to date.


I am returning to my daily Life Journal readings but miss my more general musings and so will return to those as well each Monday. Yes, it is Tuesday – I decided to begin posting again when too much of Monday was gone.
I took vacation last week including Sunday. It was nice to be away from the daily routine and to get a few things accomplished (although not all or even most of what I had planned!).
While we live in a post-Easter faith, we also live in a pre-parousia world. Christ came once and rose but has not yet consummated what began at Easter. To the extent that we know the power of Christ's resurrection (Philippians 3:10) and suffering as his followers the resurrection is a present reality. But the world, the creation, the universe continues with death in its many incarnations reigning.
Last week was filled with bumps in the road, unplanned detours, a change in the status quo of a significant part of my life, and a huge change in our likely future. As many have quipped, I needed to return to work to recover from my vacation!
The point is that the Easter reality is only real to the extent that we allow it to be so. Until Christ returns and death dies, we need to appropriate its power and know its reality in the midst of the death where we live.

Mme. Harmonie was not beautiful. But Scarlet O'Hara she was not either. But the two women shared the look of determination, not letting anyone get in her way. Mme. Harmonie derived her power from her occupation which was critique. It would have made more sense if she had been a food critique, but no. She decided to have a restaurant on side to lean back on. A very condescending attitude to get into any business, especially the food industry. It is much more than providing food, drinks and a fake smile promoting 'honest artisan experience'. There are number of reasons why there are so few restaurants are awarded Michelin Stars.
I have come to notice that Michelin Star awarded restaurants, they mostly rent or own the floor above their restaurants so as not to annoy their neigbours. Their kitchens with commercial size machines are kept down in the basement to protect the clients and the neighbours from electromagnetic, low frequency noise and all other health hazards. Of course it is all costly infrastructure that requires professional integrity to observe. What do I know but it seems a wonderful coincidence that Michelin has awarded the restaurants with CONSCIENCE, not just the taste.
Mme. Harmonie soon blasted us with all night dance bar with a disco beat music. Had she bothered to obtain the costly bar license? No, there is not yet a sticker of blue and red opal on the façade of her restaurant. As for my plea to insulate her ceiling, Mme. Harmonie insisted to believe Mr. Pride's lies that it had been done so already. She insisted that it was all in my mind. 'Don't jump to judge us just because the former manager was bad. We're totally new team!'
You cannot win with a person who criticizes but takes none from others.
At least with Mme. Empathy, her trademark which was sex appeal was real. Mme Harmonie billed herself as a friendly down to earth person with little interest to frivolous fashion. It is a tactic often employed by average looking women in order to appear to have more substance than beautiful women. We already know she is so kind that she does not give a rat that I am stuck in life where her restaurant does not allow me to open my windows to let the fresh air. In a nutshell, while Mme. Empathy manipulated people with the asset she truly possessed, Mme. Harmonie deceived with an asset she did not possess when it mattered.
Totally new team, Mme. Harmonie said. However, I saw a few waiters who used to work for Mme. Empathy. The main chef was new, but the assistant chef was still the same guy. I remembered this guy with bitterness because he was the one who kept breaking the regulations. Chefs were prohibited to wander into the private court of the residents, but he kept puffing the cigarette there with insolence look. This lack of self-discipline may have been the reason he was never promoted to the main chef, despite there had been 4 or 5 main chefs under 11 months since the opening of this restaurant from Hell.
But it was the man walking into the restaurant with this mediocre chef that stupefied me. To be continued.
