Chapter I - Part 1
Chapter IV - Part 1
Analytical Overview
Summary Chapter I - Part 1
Note:All the Pretty Horses is divided into four long chapters. For ease of organization, this SparkNote will divide both the first and last of these sections into two thematically coherent parts. The section of the SparkNote that deals with John Grady Cole before his departure for Mexico is labeled "Chapter I - Part 1"; the section that deals with John Grady after his arrival in Mexico and until the end of Chapter I, when John Grady is hired as a cowboy, is "Chapter I - Part 2". Similarly, "Chapter IV - Part 1" deals with Chapter IV from the chapter's beginning until John Grady's final split with Alejandra; "Chapter IV - Part 2" concerns itself with the end of the novel, from the split with Alejandra onward. Note that the novel itself does not subdivide these two chapters in this manner.
All the Pretty Horses opens with the funeral of John Grady Cole's grandfather, in the late autumn of 1949. John Grady is a sixteen-year-old who has lived his whole life on his grandfather's ranch outside of San Angelo, Texas. With his grandfather's death, John Grady's mother will sell the unprofitable ranch: the boy feels, inescapably, that he is witnessing the final act of a drama that has been ongoing since his great-grandfather built a one-room hovel on the site in 1866. This first section of the novel, leading up to John Grady's departure for Mexico, consists of a group of connected scenes--conversations with friends and parents--that lead to John Grady's conclusion that there is nothing left for him in San Angelo.
John Grady's parents are estranged. His mother, who at thirty-six is still young and longs for a life of excitement and romance away from the isolation of the ranch, is trying to build an acting career; she no longer speaks to his father, a professional gambler who was deeply scarred psychologically by his experiences as a prisoner of war during World War II. Although it is not made explicit, it also seems that John Grady's father is dying of lung cancer. After his grandfather's funeral, John Grady meets with his father at a cafe in San Angelo. The two are silent and awkward, not knowing what to say to each other; the father feels that he has failed his son.
John Grady sits at dinner with his mother, and asks her--in what seems to be an oft-repeated conversation--to let him run the ranch. She denies the request, repeating her intention to sell it. In response, John Grady goes to visit Franklin, the family's lawyer, who tells him that there is nothing he can do to prevent the sale; he learns from Franklin, too, that his parents have become officially divorced. After some passage of time, we see John Grady taking a trip from San Angelo to San Antonio to see the play in which his mother is acting. He is out of place in the relatively cosmopolitan city, and his trip only confirms that he and his mother are separated by a vast distance.
John Grady sees his father for the last time in the spring of 1950; they go riding together in the countryside around San Angelo. It is another episode in the string of John Grady's difficult and choked goodbyes. We see him outside in the dark with his friend Rawlins, and learn that they are planning to run away from Texas. We see him in downtown San Angelo, talking with Mary Catherine Barnett, a girl whom he used to date but who broke up with him. Finally, we see him standing one night outside Rawlins' house. The two friends slip quietly away, and ride out onto the prairie, away from home and toward their adventure.
All the Pretty Horses both begins and ends with a funeral: first, the funeral of John Grady Cole's grandfather, and at the end of the novel the funeral of the woman we know only as "Abuela" ("grandmother" in Spanish), the old Mexican woman--Louisa's mother--who lived on the ranch since the turn of the century, and who helped raise John Grady. This is appropriate, since All the Pretty Horses is a novel about endings--about the closing of America's great historical and mythic chapter of cowboys on horseback. The Grady ranch was established by John Grady Cole's great-grandfather in 1866, and tended by his grandfather until 1949. Its lifespan, then, parallels the lifespan of the American cowboy. The death of the grandfather expresses a larger phenomenon: a way of life passed away, too. The ranch is no longer profitable, and will be sold by John Grady's mother, a woman who aspires to a cosmopolitan life away from the solitude and hardships of the ranch. John Grady realizes this when he rides out the night of the funeral and stands in the sunset: in McCarthy's words, he "stood like a man come to the end of something."

Congratulations to VOA Radiogram on Program #100!
The VOA Radiogram which airs this weekend is number 100. I have been in a crazy work period and not posting as much stuff to the blog as I should, but now that it's aired I have to say something. Thanks to Kim Andrew Elliott and whoever else was instrumental on getting this ground-breaking fusion of broadcast and utility techniques onto a transmitter with international reach.
Kim has shown over these two years that he's one of us. He gets it.
Most of his selections from VOA News are about science and technology. Obviously, anyone geeky enough to hang on for 100 broadcasts would be interested in these.
More recently, though, he has rotated in stories from RFE/RL and such about media freedom and the attacks on it. This has included the "Net Neutrality" debate in the US, and the objectivity of RT (Russia Today).
Program 100 contains something Kim wrote for the International Broadcasting column in the March 2015 Journal of the North American Shortwave Association (NASWA). It's good, and it's annotated by moi:
VOA Radiogram: Two years of strange noises on shortwave
March 2015 will mark two years of VOA Radiogram, the weekly Voice
of America program in which digital text and image modes are, as
illogical as it may seem, [1] broadcast by an analog shortwave
broadcast transmitter.
A few years ago I was aware that more and more countries were
devising more and more ways to block Internet content. [2] At the
same time, as a radio amateur, I was becoming active in the
digital modes. I was amazed at how well the digital modes, many
with built-in error correction, could cope with difficult HF
In a rare flicker of inspiration, I thought of using digital
modes on shortwave to transmit text and images, the building
blocks of web pages, into countries where the Internet is
censored.
However, at the time, I thought that the digital modes had to be
transmitted and received in single sideband, because that's how
the hams do it. An engineering colleague set me straight: the
digital modes are conveyed via audio, and audio can be
transmitted by AM as well as SSB. [3]
That revelation meant that the digital modes could be transmitted
on any existing analog AM shortwave broadcast transmitter. And it
could be received even on inexpensive portable shortwave radios
with no SSB capability. Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM), on the
other hand, needs a new transmitter, or at least a new exciter,
and a special (and these days hard to find) receiver. [4]
How to decode the modes
To decode the VOA Radiogram content, audio from the plain or
fancy receiver must be patched into a personal computer. (In a
pinch, the radio's speaker can be placed next to the built-in mic
of a laptop PC.) Software does the decoding. Most VOA Radiogram
listeners use Fldigi from w1hkj.com, but other decoding software,
such as MultiPSK and DM780, is available.
The concept was first tested on WBCQ and WRMI. In March 2013, the
new VOA Radiogram program went on the air, transmitted from a
50-year-old GE transmitter, using 80 kilowatts, at the IBB
Greenville, NC, site.
Thousands of reception reports have so far been received from
shortwave listeners and radio amateurs. Most are located in
Europe and North America, but some are in Latin America and Asia.
Most weekends, VOA Radiogram is successfully decoded by a
listener in New Zealand, 14000 km from the transmitter.
MFSK is the best, so far
In the first weeks of VOA Radiogram, the various digital modes
available to amateur radio were tested side by side. These modes
included the various flavors and speeds of BPSK, QPSK, MT63,
Olivia, and Thor. It was, however, MFSK that provided the most
successful text decodes. And, as a bonus, MFSK can also be used
to transmit images, in a manner similar to slow scan television
(SSTV). [5]
In addition to the decision about the mode was the question of
the speed of the mode. As a general rule, the faster the mode,
the less able it is to cope with difficult shortwave conditions.
MFSK16 (as in 16 baud) is amazingly robust in dreadful
conditions, but slow at 55 words per minute. MFSK64 is 240 wpm
but works well only in favorable conditions. MFSK128, at 480 wpm,
is blisteringly fast but really best suited for local VHF and
UHF. Ultimately, MFSK32 demonstrated the best combination of
speed (120 wpm) and performance in typical, i.e. usually not
brilliant, shortwave conditions.
Extends the range of (what's left of) shortwave broadcasts
Reception reports and audio files received from listeners
indicate that MFSK32 not only works well, it works better than
voice on analog shortwave. In conditions where a typical voice
broadcast is difficult to comprehend, e.g. my voice introduction
to each VOA Radiogram, the text is often copied 100%. Thus, the
introduction of software has extended the communications
capability of shortwave broadcast transmitters, just at a time
when those transmitters are being dismantled at an alarming rate.
If a country blocks our Internet content, it will probably also
jam our shortwave broadcasts. The text modes have been tested
against Chinese jamming of VOA and Radio Free Asia, and Cuban
jamming of Radio Martí. Remote receivers in or near the target
countries show the text modes slicing through some intense
jamming. [6]
MFSK32 occupies only about 500 Hz of the 2000 Hz bandwidth
available in each sideband of an AM shortwave signal. New modes
in development use all of that available 2000 Hz, to some extent
for additional speed, but even more for additional error
correction. This would result in a text delivery technology
especially well- suited to shortwave broadcasting, and perhaps
even more resistant to jamming. [7]
Now we need hardware and software solutions
It would be helpful if more of the surviving shortwave broadcast
stations would transmit text and images, even just a few minutes
per week. This would encourage software developers and receiver
manufacturers to facilitate the reception of these modes. The
Elecraft K3 amateur transceiver decodes the popular PSK31 mode
and shows the text on the rig's display, so receivers could also
do this with other modes. [8]
Fldigi and the other decoding software now used by VOA Radiogram
listeners are really designed for amateur radio use. They include
several features, such as encoding, not needed for receive-only
use and intimidating to the non-technical. Therefore, a vital
requirement is the development of a software app that would
simplify the decoding process and make it possible on mobile
devices as well as PCs. [9]
[1] Cuba's been doing it for years. They tested a variety of digital modes over high powered AM rigs that sure sounded like Radio Havana's. Now they broadcast a complex one called RDFT, in AM, on a full schedule daily.
[2] I'm weird, but I've said for years that putting all our communications onto the Internet means that we give up redundancies that greatly increased end-to-end delivery reliability in our previous mix of comm systems. 2015 is shaping up as the year more people join the growing chorus of, "You know, we should have kept some of that old HF stuff."
[3] True. There are other (better) ways to do it, but right now the decode takes place after the audio output of the receiver. I typically receive in LSB because it's a little less noisy on the images given the sub-optimum frequencies they're received on here. The difference is negligible otherwise.
[4] It also needs a 12-15 dB s/n ratio. "Digital ready" transmitters, or conversions of same with the required power, are expensive, and receivers get a price bump from the license fee which discourages what audience there might be. Right now, huge HF setups are valued mostly as scrap metal.
[5] Both big pluses. MFSK has a 100% duty cycle, same as old FSK RTTY, which is still used daily on ham bands. I was personally surprised when some of the amateur contest BPSK modes didn't do better, but amateur is a different set of parameters.
[6] On the noisy channels I have, VOA Radiogram's MFSK is typically 99% copy. The voice is often unintelligible.
[7] True, if the extra bandwidth was used for redundancy and error correction. Right now most of the b/w at the high end of the audio passband is harmonics.
[8] Doing it in-rig is a neat concept. The non-technical consumer would ideally have a simple box from Radios R Us with the fewest possible knobs and config settings. Maybe an output to a PC or a Bluetooth device at the max.
[9] MFSK decoding, with images, should not be difficult on tablets and smartphones. I print RTTY on mine regularly.
30 MHz Mystery Deepens
ALE above 30 MHz?
VOA Radiogram for 7-8 Feb 2015


Police are appealing for information following two burglaries in Bury St Edmunds officers believe are linked.
The first happened between 2.15pm and 3.30pm on Tuesday, July 10, at a house in Oliver Road.
According to a spokesman for Suffolk police, an internal conservatory door was smashed before keys and a quantity of cash were taken.
The second happened in Westley Road where two men were spotted leaving a property at around 3.45pm.
A window on a lean-to structure was forced open but is not believed anything was stolen.
Officers are linking the two break-ins and are keen to speak to anyone who saw two white men acting suspiciously in the Oliver Road/Westley Road area at the times stated.
Anyone with information is asked to call Suffolk Police on 101 quoting reference 38363/18 or 38370/18. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.


An amber weather warning for Wind and Snow has been extended to Bristol and the surrounding areas, with a Red warning, the highest that can be issued, for Wales and the South West.
The severe weather is likely to roll in this evening, according to the Met Office .
The first impact of the wintery weather is travel, though it remains to be seen whether the University will be open as usual tomorrow. The U1 bus service will be withdrawn from 9pm tonight, with the last bus to Stoke Bishop departing from Queen's Avenue at 8:45pm. Students have been advised to check the First West of England timetables for travel updates. The U1 Bus Pass will work on the number 3 service to Stoke Bishop, if it is running.
We will be open today, but please do keep checking our website and Twitter for updates. A decision will be taken later today, and communicated to all staff and students, regarding University closure tomorrow https://t.co/amAJcO5jTY In the meantime, please take care and keep warm!
"A spell of heavy snow is expected. The snow will be accompanied by very strong easterly winds leading to blizzards and considerable drifting. From Thursday evening some places could also see ice build up due to freezing rain. Long delays and cancellations of public transport seem very likely.
"Some roads may become blocked by deep snow, stranding vehicles and passengers. Long interruptions to power supplies and other utilities are likely to occur, along with possible damage to trees and other structures due to heavy snow or ice".
"Although the University will remain open, your Heads of School will advise on any local conditions that might affect scheduled activity.
Your personal safety is paramount. Please take notice of the Met Office weather warnings and advice from emergency services about likely disruption to travel and public transport. Please also take care on icy roads and pavements that may be deceptively dangerous."
More updates will be available here when we get them.

Rising Storm 2: Vietnam [PC] Steam Key + 2 DLCs - INSTANT DELIVERY 24/7 🔑🕹🎮
"The game hits a sweet spot between realism, fun, and required teamwork that few games do."
4/5 – Attack of the Fan Boy
"Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is a must have for tactical shooter fans. Tripwire's latest release strikes a perfect balance between realism and fun"
9/10 – Gaming on PC
"There isn't a gun that I don't like using, and I'm never disappointed to be stuck as a grunt if I don't snag a special class fast enough."
85/100 – PC Gamer
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam is the next in the series that has twice been PC Gamer's 'Multiplayer Game of the Year', bringing the franchise into the era of automatic rifles, man-portable grenade launchers and more modern weapons systems. Still with the authentic look and feel and realistic weapon handling that the series is known for.
Continuing the Tripwire tradition of providing strong support for games post-launch, Vietnam has already been updated multiple times, providing the player with:
64-player battles
6 different armies to play, each with their own weapons and abilities:
United States Army and Marine Corps
North Vietnamese Army (PAVN) and National Liberation Front (Viet Cong)
Australian Army
Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN)
Over 50 weapons, covering everything from rifles and pistols to flamethrowers and rocket launchers
4 flyable helicopters - Huey, Cobra, Loach and Bushranger
Asymmetric warfare - VC traps and tunnels vs. US napalm and choppers
More than 20 maps
3 distinct game-modes
Proximity VOIP
And hundreds of character customization options.
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam offers intense action for up to 64 players in battles between the forces of South Vietnam (the US and their Allies) and those of the North - the regular, main-force units of North Vietnamese Army, plus the guerilla fighters of the National Liberation Front (or Viet Cong).
SOUTHERN FORCES - US, Australian and ARVN
The Southern forces have firepower and mobility on their side, with each army having its own unique supporting arms:
US Army/Marine Corps - airburst artillery, the Spooky gunship and napalm strikes
Australian Army - Pair of Canberra bombers and heavy artillery
ARVN - medium mortar barrage and napalm strikes from older A-1 Skyraiders
For mobility, they have access to full helicopter support:
UH-1 "Huey": provides rapid transport for a squad across the map
OH-6 "Loach": acts as both a spotter and airborne command post, as well as a fast gunship, with its miniguns
AH-1G "Cobra": heavily-armed gunship with massive firepower for a pilot and weapons officer
Australian "Bushranger": a Huey, with dual M60 machine guns, minigun and rockets
Tactically, the Southern squad leaders become important - so long as the squad leader is alive and in a smart location, the rest of his squad can spawn in on his location. So keep your squad leaders alive at critical moments!
As for weapons, the Southern forces had a wide range of the best weaponry of Western nations, ranging from older, WWII-era leftovers, through to the latest technology of the time:
M1 Garand, M2 Carbine, M3 "grease gun", BAR and M1919 .30-cal LMG
M14 Battle Rifle, M40 and XM21 sniper rifles
M60 LMG and M16 automatic rifle
For heavier support - the M79 grenade launcher and M9A1-7 flamethrower
Explosives - M61 frag grenade, M8 smoke, C4 explosives and M18 Claymore
NORTHERN FORCES - NVA and VC
The Northern forces offer a broader mix, with the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN - or NVA) as the regular, disciplined and better-equipped main fighting force, in comparison to the National Liberation Front (NLF) guerrilla fighters, equipped with whatever weaponry was passed down the chain to them from Russia and China - known as the Viet Cong. For supporting weapons each has:
PAVN/NVA - heavy artillery, surface-to-air missile defenses and rapid reinforcement from the Ho Chi Minh trail
NLF/VC - a mix of ordnances (mortars, rockets, white phosphorous) used in a heavy barrage
To compete with the Southern forces' mobility, the Northern forces have their own mobility - and stealth:
NVA and VC squad leaders can place spawn tunnels widely across the maps, allowing themselves and their squads to spawn much closer to the action - or even behind the lines
Given their "home field advantage", any NVA or VC crouching or prone in cover can't be spotted by Southern helicopters or aircraft
SA-2 Missiles - the quick way to counter Southern air assets is by calling on surface-to-air missiles, if the commander can time it right
"Ho Chi Minh Trail" ability - the NVA/VC commander can activate this ability to accelerate his team's spawning rate, when times get desperate
"Ambush Spawn" ability - the NVA/VC commander can also cause anyone on his team who is waiting, to spawn on his location for potentially devastating ambushes.
The weaponry for the Northern forces is wide-ranging - the PAVN well-equipped with modern weapons delivered from Russia and China, while the VC have to work with a wide variety of weapons:
AK-47 and Type 56 Assault rifles
Russian SKS-45 and US M1 Carbines and Mosin Nagant 91/30 rifle
MN 91/30 and SVD sniper rifles
PPSh-41 and French MAT-49 SMGs
IZh-58 double-barrelled shotgun
DP-28 and RPD LMGs
RPG-7 rocket launcher
MD-82 toe-popper mines, Tripwires and Punji traps

According to the famed international investor, former Soros partner and general market maker, Jim Rogers, the U.S. federal Reserve has continued to pump money into the economy. Rogers, in a recent blog post, described the Federal Reserve as being among the primary dangers to our economy. "They don't know what they are doing," he said. Rogers gives credence to the potential impact of European debt problems and China's slowing growth rates, but continues to see the U.S. as the main source of the problem.
While Presidential nominees and congress debate the impact of raising taxes on the wealthy and other measures with a questionable impact on the economy, Rogers believes that the nation's wealth is already being deteriorated. Rogers point to low interest rates and a rising inflation rate as the reasons why the numbers on our bank statements may look the same but will not go as far. Rogers is accusing the Federal Government of what is essentially a smoke and mirrors act to cover up their market tinkering. "Bernanke said last August he was keeping interest rates artificially low," Rogers said in Yahoo Finance last week."The only way you can do that is to go into the market."
"Since August - well, this whole year - the M2 has jumped up," he said in a recent interview "They're in the market. They're lying to us."
Certainly, with the worries over the global economy and a domestic growth rate near zero, some do not object to the Fed's presence in the economy and the printing of money. In fact Roger's position that the group should raise rates could bring domestic economic growth to a tax, considering the low levels at which is stands today. Still, those who believe Roger's statements regarding the position of the Fed in the economy right now, may want to heed the billionaire investor's advice in terms of how to protect themselves against inflation.

Site Summary:
Federal Register Notice: March 31, 1989
Conditions at proposal (June 24, 1988): FCX, Inc., began repackaging and selling agricultural chemicals in 1945 on a 6-acre site at the intersection of Grimes Road and Whispering Pine Road just to the west-northwest of the city limits of Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina. FCX, Inc., filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the Federal bankruptcy code and began liquidating its assets in September 1985. The Washington site was sold in two parcels. In August 1986, Fred Webb, Inc., of Greenville, North Carolina, bought the main warehouse and 4 acres of land, including a pesticide burial trench. In August 1987, the remaining 2 acres, which contained two buildings, were sold to W.B. Gerard and Sons, a fertilizer distributor next door to the FCX facility.
In the early 1970s, the pesticide trench, which measured approximately 12 by 250 feet and 10 to 12 feet deep, was filled with waste pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. Soil collected from the trench in August 1986 contained chlordane, aldrin, DDT, DDE, dieldrin, carbon disulfide, hexachlorobenzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluorene, and mercury, according to tests conducted by the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources. These chemicals may move into the Post-Miocene Surficial Aquifer, which, together with the Miocene Yorktown Aquifer, locally recharges the underlying Castle Hayne Aquifer. The Castle Hayne Aquifer, which starts at about 30 feet below the land surface at the site, is the major source of drinking water in the area. All three aquifers are interconnected. An estimated 2,850 people draw drinking water from wells within 3 miles of the site. The wetland adjacent to Tar River and Kennedy Creek begins 300 feet from the trench area. Surface waters within 3 miles downstream are used for recreational activities.
FCX, Inc., has hired contractors to study on-site contamination and recommend cleanup procedures for the trench area and the main warehouse. The chemical storage building has been cleaned up.
Status (March 31, 1989): On September 15, 1988, EPA issued Administrative Orders under CERCLA Section 106 requiring FCX, Inc., and Fred Webb, Inc., to remove the pesticides from the trench area. Both parties challenged their orders, and no removal action has occurred to date.

THOUSANDS of expats have unknowingly been left without insurance as one of the coast's biggest insurance brokers has apparently gone bankrupt without telling them.
Knight Insurance SA, based in Fuengirola and Nerja, has applied for voluntary bankruptcy, but failed to alert any of its thousands of policyholders.
It has left clients fuming, particularly as Knight failed to pass payments they had made on to the insurance companies.
They were, of course, also unprotected against incidents. For insured trading in the financial markets trade online with Alvexo.
Staff at two big insurance companies on the coast Ibex and Liberty have confirmed that they are still handling the fallout, with panicked expats calling them on a daily basis.
Even though Knight apparently filed for bankruptcy in October, a large number of their policyholders could still have no idea that they are no longer covered.
Guy and Rosemary Dearden, who have lived in Fuengirola for 10 years, only realised they were not protected when they tried to add their son to the family policy in April.
"It was a horrible shock," Mr Dearden told the Olive Press.
"As I could only get through to their telephone answering machine, I called the insurance company concerned directly.
"It turned out my policy was not in effect as the payment had not been forwarded from Knight Insurance.
Unbelievably, Knight's website is still up and running, with no mention of the company's crushing financial difficulties.
Clients can apparently even fill out forms to request new policies.
However, its offices are closed and attempts to phone go straight to voicemail.
It comes as no surprise to me….My account was transferred to them after they had bought out another business in Fuengirola but I ceased to be a client a couple of years ago as I felt their attitude towards customers was dreadful.
If you give someone the chance to rip you off – they probably will.
Why do so many not take care of all their own finances, are they brain dead.
As I recall, a couple of years ago, the Media published description of the legal suite that IBEX filed against Knight Insurance because Knight had not paid the Premiums they received to IBEX. A MAJOR problem in the offing – Don't folks / Policyholders READ the papers?!
This is ridiculous to say the least. This is not about the bankruptcy, it is fraud and should be dealt with as such. Why is there no mention of police involvement?
Similarly, I don't understand Stuart's comment. When one uses an insurance broker, you are dealing with a matter which you expect to be dealt with in a professional manner. You can hardly blame the client!
This does not apply to the Nerja branch…. Knights ceased trading there August 2012. Upon reading this today, I contacted the branch – as my car is insured through them and this is their reply….
You are so right, we are since the 1st of August 2012, Liberty Seguros. Your insurance is fully in force, no problem and was paid on the 20th of of November 2013.
The last comment is so fake. You can just tell the company themselfs are writting this.
Today, Monday 1st September I contacted Knight Insurance Brokers in Los Boliches by phone and they assured me they were still in business and there was no problem . Are they, and is there a problem?
I have today received an email from "Maria" claiming to be from Knight Insurance although her email address is a hotmail address. She's advising me to change my car insurance from one company to another cheaper company – with her help of course. She telephoned me to follow up the email and actually said she was from KnIght Insurance. She has my telephone number and email address and policy details. I smelled a rat so google her email address which is associated with a new brokerage with a different name dealing exclusively with Caser. She said I had to cancel with my bank the direct debit for the old insurance company (which I would expect her to have arranged for me). BUT I believe I am too late to cancel the former policy as renewal is almost upon us so if I had fallen for her ruse I would have ended up paying the original company and the new one (or her – depending how unscrupulous she is). Be warned!!!

Q: Creating a simple scripted 'language' - VARIANT-like value type For a rules engine developed in C++, one of the core features is the value type. What I have so far is a bit like a COM-style VARIANT - each value knows its type. There are some rules for type conversion but it's a bit messy.
I wondered if there are nice drop-in value classes I could use which solve this, without requiring me to use a whole pre-built system. For instance maybe boost has something?

A: Looking for boost::any or boost::variant?
There are basically three types of variant implementations:

*

*A type that can be freely casted between types (think untyped languages) -- boost::lexical_cast is your friend here, or boost::variant...

*A type that can hold any type, but is typesafe -- e.g. initialized with an int, stays an int and doesn't allow to be treated implicitly like anything else -- this is the boost::any type

*The evil allow anything type -- cast to what you want without error checking, no type information held -- think void*

Plugins can become outdated or abandoned as authors no longer have the time or interest in maintaining them. We've also seen where plugins have been unwittingly sold to those with malicious intent.
It used to be that SSL was only for ecommerce sites or those that handled sensitive information. These days, it's become the standard. Recently, both browsers and search engines have thought it's important enough to warn users about sites that still run over http.

Security plugins such as Word fence or iThemes Security are great options, as they look for suspicious code and behaviour.

Oceans North primarily works in the four Inuit land claim regions that make up Inuit Nunangat: Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. We have also begun to work with northern First Nations groups.
Oceans North puts a premium on community-driven research and local management. That means taking time to establish local partnerships and recognizing Indigenous interests in cultural, social, spiritual, physical and economic well-being. We aim for outcomes that serve both the environment and the broader needs of Arctic peoples.
What Is Nunangat?
Inuit Nunangat is an Inuktitut term meaning "homeland." It is used to describe the four Inuit land claim regions and includes not just the land but also the water and ice. Inuit Nunangat covers more than a third of Canada's land mass and half of its coastline.
Nunatsiavut
Nunatsiavut is in eastern Canada, along the coast of northern Labrador, and is home to five communities, none of which are accessible by road.
The land claims negotiation process began in Nunatsiavut in 1977 when the Labrador Inuit Association (LIA) filed a statement of claim with the Government of Canada. Negotiations carried on through the 1980s and 1990s until the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Government of Canada signed the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement in January 2005.
The resulting Labrador Inuit Settlement Area (LISA) includes large stretches of land and water:
Approximately 73,000 square kilometres of land along the northeastern coast of Labrador
About 49,000 square kilometres of marine area that extends beyond the coastline
The Labrador Inuit Lands, totaling about 16,000 square kilometres (Labrador Inuit have title to these)
The Torngat Mountains National Park, established with the LIA, in the northern tip of Labrador
When the land claims agreement and the Labrador Inuit Constitution took effect in December 2005, Nunatsiavut became the first Inuit region to achieve self-government. Today, the Nunatsiavut government is responsible for natural resource management and the delivery of health, education and cultural services. Its department of Lands and Natural Resources takes part in several co-management boards focused on the environment, conservation and planning. This includes the Torngat Mountains National Park Co-Management Board, which can advise on the management of the national park.
Nunavik lies north of the 55th latitude in the province of Quebec. It is home to over 12,000 people in 14 communities. Two land claims agreements cover the terrestrial and marine components of the region, including local agencies' control of social, governmental and legal services.
The James Bay and Northern Quebec Land Claims Agreement (JBNQA) was signed in 1975 and was the first modern comprehensive land claim agreement signed in Canada's North. The JBNQA defines indigenous territorial rights both north and south of the 55th parallel, establishing land categories, harvesting rights and resource management plans for the Inuit, Cree and Naskapi.
The Nunavik Inuit Land Claims Agreement (NILCA) took effect in 2007 and established their offshore rights in what is called the Nunavik Marine Region (NMR). This includes surface and subsurface rights to islands in the NMR.
The land claims agreement also established the Regional Nunavimmi Umajulivijiit Katujiqatigininga (RNUK), a regional association of hunters, fishermen and trappers that is made up of representatives from each community's Local Nunavimmi Umajulivijiit Katujiqatigininga (LNUK). This group is responsible for all wildlife matters associated with the NMR.
The land claims agreement also established several management and planning boards.
Nunavut covers almost one-fifth of Canada's landmass, from the 60th parallel north to the 82nd. The Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA), the largest land claim in Canadian history, was ratified in 1993, the same year that the Nunavut Act was signed. These agreements paved the way for the creation of the new territory of Nunavut on April 1, 1999.
The land claims agreement covers the Nunavut Settlement Area (NSA), which includes water, extending 12 miles out from the coastline, and land. Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI), established in 1993, ensures that funds promised in the agreement are distributed and that all signatories fulfill their obligations, including maintaining the NSA's boundary.
Nunavut has regional conservation bodies, sub-regional groups and community leaders:
A network of institutions in Nunavut play a role in conservation. There are five Institutions of Public Government (IPGs) and one nongovernmental organization composed of representatives from each of the IPGs.
Nunavut is divided into three smaller regions, each with its own Inuit association:
Kitikmeot Inuit Association
Qikiqtani Inuit Association
Kivalliq Inuit Association
Finally, at a local level, there are Hunters and Trappers Organizations/Associations in each community.
Inuvialuit Settlement Region
The Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) is the most western Inuit region and home to six communities that are found on both the mainland and Banks and Victoria islands in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
The Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA) was settled in 1984, giving the Inuvialuit people surface and subsurface rights to the region. The IFA established the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation to administer the lands and funds allocated in the agreement and to legally represent the Inuvialuit of the ISR. Each community has its own individual corporations.
The IFA also established a co-management system made up Inuvialuit organizations and co-management boards. The co-management boards include representatives from both the Inuvialuit Game Council, which consists of one member from each community's Hunters and Trappers Committee (HTC), and officials from national and provincial government agencies.
The traditional qamutik is used to travel on snow and ice.

#221 Western Kentucky vs.
Written by Chris King
The Conference USA East Division title is up for grabs when the top two teams meet in the Mountaineer State. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are on the road as they travel to face the Marshall Thundering Herd Saturday afternoon. Western Kentucky knocked off Florida Atlantic 52-17 at home in their most recent contest last Saturday. Marshall went on the road and drubbed Charlotte 49-28 in their previous contest last Saturday. In the all-time series between the teams, the Thundering Herd have won four of the seven meetings, taking each of the last four meetings. That includes a 38-14 road win in the most recent matchup on October 10, 2020.
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Looking to Claim Conference USA East Division
Western Kentucky won their sixth straight after a 1-4 start as they rolled past Florida Atlantic last week at home. The Hilltoppers improved to 7-4 on the season and look to win the East Division crown here. Against Florida Atlantic, Western Kentucky led 14-3 after the opening quarter and never looked back as they rolled to the victory. The Hilltoppers were up 31-10 at the half and continued to pile it on in the second half en route to the win. Western Kentucky rolled up a 608-301 advantage in total offense, held a 35-18 advantage in first downs and controlled the clock by a 35:21 to 24:39 margin. Both teams turned the ball over three times though the Hilltoppers did throw a pick-six in the contest.

The Hilltoppers enter this contest leading the nation with 431.4 yards per game through the air while they are 123rd in rushing with 97.4 yards per contest. Western Kentucky is fifth in the FBS in scoring offense as they put up 42.4 points per contest while they are 79th in scoring defense by allowing 27.5 points a game. Bailey Zappe is 381 of 532 passing for 4,640 yards with 48 touchdowns against nine interceptions while adding 28 yards and three scores on the ground. Carson Baker completed his lone pass attempt for 54 yards and a score. Kye Robichaux (47 carries, 214 yards, TD), Adam Cofield (75 carries, 347 yards, four TD) and Noah Whittington (76 carries, 383 yards, TD) have shared the limited load in the run game. Jerreth Sterns leads the team with 123 receptions for 1,511 yards plus 12 scores in the passing game. Malachi Corley (62 catches, 574 yards, six TD) and Mitchell Tinsley (62 grabs, 1042 yards, 10 TD) are good receiving options. Brayden Narveson hit all 56 extra point attempts and 16 of 18 field goal attempts with a long of 43 this season.
Marshall Thundering Herd Trying to Steal East Division Title
Marshall bounced back from a home loss to UAB as they won on the road over Charlotte for their fifth win in six games. The Thundering Herd improved to 7-4 on the season overall and 5-2 in Conference USA play. Against Charlotte, Marshall broke a 14-14 tie with a 64-yard touchdown pass late in the first half. That triggered a run of 28 unanswered points by the Thundering Herd and carried them to a victory. Marshall held a 588-374 advantage in total offense, held a 29-23 advantage in first downs and forced two turnovers while not committing one. That made up for the fact that they lost the time of possession by a 30:57 to 29:03 margin.

The Thundering Herd is 11th among the 130 FBS teams to take the field this season in passing offense as they average 320.8 yards per game through the air. Marshall is 66th in rushing offense as they average 163.3 yards per contest on the ground. The Thundering Herd is 24th in the FBS in scoring offense as they average 35.2 points per game but they have sparkled defensively. Charles Huff's group is 21st in the country in scoring defense as they allow just 20 points per contest. Grant Wells has completed 270 of 405 passes for 3,357 yards with 15 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He adds 61 yards and six scores on the ground. Luke Zban is 10 of 14 for 126 yards with one touchdown and one interception plus 99 rushing yards. The run game is anchored by Rasheen Ali, who has run the ball 206 times for 1,142 yards and 20 scores on the year. Sheldon Evans (63 carries, 279 yards, three TD) and Knowledge McDaniel (13 carries, 107 yards, TD) are next in line. Corey Gammage leads the team with 62 receptions for 784 yards and two scores this season. Willie Johnson (32 grabs, 625 yards, three TD), Xavier Gaines (38 catches, 447 yards, three TD), Shadeed Ahmed (35 catches, 395 yards, two TD) and Ali (38 grabs, 320 yards, TD) each have gone over 250 yards receiving this season. Shane Ciucci has hit all 35 extra point attempts and six of eight field goal attempts with a long of 46. Andrew Sanders has hit all 16 extra point attempts and two of five field goals with a long of 29 this season.
We've got a real clash of styles when you get down to this one as Western Kentucky piles up yards and points by the truckload. Meanwhile, Marshall is a very good defensive team that is middle of the road when it comes to putting points on the board. The Thundering Herd is at home here and they will try to lean on the ground game with Ali to move the sticks and keep Zappe and company off the field. Marshall's problem is that they face an explosive offensive attack in the Hilltoppers who don't need a ton of time to put points on the board. The Thundering Herd hangs around but Zappe is too much to overcome. Give the advantage to Western Kentucky to get the win and pick up the East Division title.
Prediction: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers +1.5
Western Kentucky has seen the over hit in eight of their 11 games on the season. The Hilltoppers have three straight overs on the books coming into this one. Marshall has seen the over hit in six of their 11 games on the season and they are coming off an over in the win over Charlotte last week. We've seen these teams meet seven times and the over has hit in five of those contests. With that said, this one is likely set a little too high because the Marshall defense is no slack unit. Look for this one to end up somewhere in the 50s or even the low-60s as a total but having a number at 73.5 points is a little too much to ask here. Look for this one to wind up under the mark.
Prediction: Under 73.5

This post's title sounds a little menacing, but I promise it's not. After several years of skipping the gym and eating poorly I began feeling sluggish and my clothes were beyond tight. After taking baby steps toward a healthier lifestyle I can honestly say I feel 100% better. My clothes fit and I have more energy.
Besides trying to prepare healthier meal, I started making shakes and smoothies for breakfast. Admittedly I'm the girl who prefers sleep to getting up and making a healthy breakfast. On occasion I put together a breakfast casserole loaded with vegetables or a variation of these Omelet and Potato Breakfast Bites found at Ella Claire. For the most part though I skip breakfast. That was until the hub's cousin dropped off a box of Advocare products which included the Berry Meal Replacement Shake. The directions say to mix with cold water. Boring! I would blend with almond milk, banana, strawberries, PB2 or peanut butter, a handful of spinach and ice. I couldn't possibly have sat down and eaten all that before heading off to work. Shakes just make life easier!
After running out of the Advocare replacement shakes I contacted a neighbor who distributes Juice Plus Complete. Overall the cost is less per shake and the Juice Plus powder is packed with easy to pronounce ingredients. Side note, I eventually want to purchase Juice Plus' capsules. Juice Plus Complete comes in two flavors (vanilla and chocolate) so I ordered the variety pack giving me both. Now onto the "mad scientist" reference…every time I get in the kitchen to mix up a shake I want to try something new. This weekend's shakes were awesome. The recipes are below in case you are looking for a new shake/smoothie idea. Also, banana and avocado is really good with the chocolate drink mix. Want to get your hands on some Juice Plus products? I know a gal and can put you in contact.

NASA releases new Webb telescope images showing Jupiter like never before
Even astronomers say they didn't expect such incredible photos of the solar system's biggest planet.
Author: MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

Updated: 3:53 PM EDT August 22, 2022
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The world's newest and biggest space telescope is showing Jupiter as never before, auroras and all.
Scientists released the shots Monday of the solar system's biggest planet.
The James Webb Space Telescope took the photos in July, capturing unprecedented views of Jupiter's northern and southern lights, and swirling polar haze. Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a storm big enough to swallow Earth, stands out brightly alongside countless smaller storms.
One wide-field picture is particularly dramatic, showing the faint rings around the planet, as well as two tiny moons against a glittering background of galaxies.
"We've never seen Jupiter like this. It's all quite incredible," said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, of the University of California, Berkeley, who helped lead the observations.

"We hadn't really expected it to be this good, to be honest," she added in a statement.
The infrared images were artificially colored in blue, white, green, yellow and orange, according to the U.S.-French research team, to make the features stand out.
NASA and the European Space Agency's $10 billion successor to the Hubble Space Telescope rocketed away at the end of last year and has been observing the cosmos in the infrared since summer. Scientists hope to behold the dawn of the universe with Webb, peering all the way back to when the first stars and galaxies were forming 13.7 billion years ago.
The observatory is positioned 1 million miles from Earth.

It's no surprise that an upscale establishment like Ocean Prime thrives in the bustling nerve center of Center City it occupies. The vibe and décor is posh and glamorous, but the overall atmosphere is relaxed and accessible.
The attentive and friendly staff informs you straight out of the gate that all of the seafood and meats are of the highest quality and freshness, and that anything that's not made in house is only because another local establishment does it better.
Duly noted. Who wants cocktails?
The cocktails at Ocean Prime, located at 124 S. 15th St., were a harbinger of the culinary craft and showmanship we were in for. The Berries and Bubbles ($15) is Ocean Prime's fruity take on a Kir Royale shanked with dry ice and decorated with an assortment of berries. When poured into a generous martini glass, the concoction bubbles and smokes like a frigid cauldron of 40-proof bliss.
The dinner menu is classic steakhouse and seafood fare peppered with Asian influences and executed at a high level of gastronomic excellence. Appetizers like the Point Judith Calamari ($20) eschew classic presentation by tossing the tender fried favorite into a sweet-and-spicy chili sauce, then dusting it with sesame seeds.
The ahi tuna tartare ($19) was a cool and creamy experience that got more texturally complex the deeper in. The crowning achievement by far was the goat cheese ravioli ($15), which has a substantial heartiness thanks to being wrapped in wontons and awash in a robust and luxuriously flavored mushroom broth that added a nice richness to the pleasantly strong goat cheese.
The entrees were textbook high-end steakhouse fare in the best sense of the words. The filet mignon ($44 for 8 oz.) was impeccable, topped (or "accessorized" as they put it) with a perfect buttery, garlic shrimp scampi ($13).
There were a number of pleasantly decadent sides offered. We gravitated toward the smoked Gouda tater tots ($12). We were not disappointed. The massive tots (seriously, who makes tater tots nearly three inches long?) were hot and crispy on the outside with a lovely rustic mashed-potato consistency on the inside.
Ocean Prime has definitely earned its name and status. If you want to gorge yourself like a VIP, this establishment is definitely worth your attention.


Online shopping is my new time-pass activity these days - quite an expensive one I must say ;)! A few weeks back I decided to check out the A-J-Store on facebook and landed up buying 2 awesome dresses! This store provides you the hottest styles effortlessly. I would have bought nearly 90% of the store ;) but sadly most of it was either booked or sold out.. Not surprising at all considering the fabulous picks it has!
I wore one of the dresses on the very next day that the package arrived.. Couldn't wait! But I wore the dress a little differently. I wore it as a tunic with a belt along with a pink bag and the outcome(according to me) was amazing!
You guys can check out the store at the Facebook page here and blog shop here!

What will happen to Italy's property market in 2021?
EconomyfeatureHouse pricesHouses in ItalyPropertyrenovation

In the second year of the pandemic, how will property prices and mortgages be affected in Italy? Here's what the experts say.
Despite some difficult months in 2020 and ongoing uncertainty, there is now "cautious optimism" about the outlook for the Italian real estate market in 2021.
How has the pandemic affected the Italian real estate market so far?
Data from the Italian Revenue Agency shows there were 374,545 residential property transactions completed in 2020: a decrease of -13.9% compared to the same period in 2019.
In the first nine months of 2020 property prices in Italian cities fell by -1.1% on average, compared to 2019, according to a recent joint report by Italian estate agencies Gabetti, Professionecasa and Grimaldi.
However, property prices in areas outside regional capitals rose, in many cases for the first time in years, as property experts say people are increasingly looking for larger homes in quieter areas.
"Non-capital municipalities grew most of all, by +8.1%, compared to an overall decline for the capital city municipalities (-6.7%)," the report stated.

Average times needed to complete a sale remained stable, at an average of 4.5 months, as did the final discounts at the end of negotiations, with buyers getting around 12% off the asking price on average.
"Italy's real estate market has withstood the impact of the pandemic well, under the pressure of changed housing needs triggered by the crisis, and with interest rates at historic lows," explained Vincenzo De Tommaso, Head of the Studies Office at property portal Idealista.
"Estate agents have been able to adapt to changing circumstances by finding a way to work even in conditions of social distancing thanks to the help of technology," he said. "We have witnessed an increase in advertisements with virtual tours and agents have started to hold open house events with live streaming."
"The prospects for 2021 are marked by cautious optimism," he added. "At the first signs of economic recovery, the real estate market has always been quite quick to recover."

Demand rises for homes in the Italian countryside during lockdown
Things are also looking up for the international property market, as Lake Como-based real estate expert Sara Zanotta told The Local.
Her agency, Lakeside Real Estate, was among those which adapted to the coronavirus restrictions by conducting virtual tours.
"After the first months of the emergency, that have obviously been tough for everyone, from July the Lake Como property market has undergone a real boom," Zanotta said.
"We had international clients – unable to fly to Italy but still willing to find a property in our region – buying properties from abroad with virtual tours."
Plus, she explains, following the first lockdown in Italy the agency saw a sharp rise in the number of Italians looking to purchase second homes "intended both for personal use and as a source of income".
"The proximity of the lake to the big cities, especially Milan, has led to a good induced activity in recent months: compared to the same date in 2019, the increase in Italian customers to date has seen an increase of +45%."
"Many of the stalled properties on the market were sold within a few months after the first lockdown," she added. "We've reached an encouraging point where demand exceeds supply."
Prices remained steady for the most part and rose only in certain prime locations, she said.
How will things change in 2021?
The pandemic has of course changed many peoples' priorities when it comes to housing, and new government incentives may also be influencing choices in 2021.
The report by Gabetti, Professionecasa and Grimaldi says demand is growing for the following:
"Multifunctional homes, with larger dimensions and modular spaces adapted for remote working.
Outdoor spaces, terraces or gardens.
Condominium services, such as garage, gym, or multifunctional rooms.
Greater use or purchase of second homes, thanks to the rise of remote working (presumably even after the emergency) and the increased propensity to spend holiday periods in one's own home."
The report also notes that government financial incentives included in the May 2020 Relaunch Decree "have created important development opportunities for the real estate sector which will materialize particularly in 2021".
These include tax deductions of up to 110% for specific energy efficiency and anti-seismic works, the installation of photovoltaic systems, and systems for charging electric vehicles.
"This is quite interesting as it speeds up the requests for properties in need of huge renovations," noted Zanotta.
"Enquiries for this kind of property will increase in 2021 by up to +45%," she predicted. "From July 2020 to December 2020 these requests increased by +32% on the same period in 2019."

What about mortgage rates?
Mortgage rates have been on a downward trend in Italy for some time. Renato Landoni, partner at investment firm Kiron Partners, said this won't change in 2021 despite economic concerns. "The European Central Bank will maintain an accommodative interest rate policy as long as the level of inflation remains below 2 points," he said.
"No particular changes are therefore expected in 2021; rates will remain low and mortgages will be affordable, especially with regards to the fixed rate."
He added that banks would remain "competitive in relation to mortgage offers".

Roberto Anedda, Vice-President of mortgage company MutuiOnline.it, told Idealista that "Many problems in the economy have not yet come to a head".
"We're still struggling with the long-term effects of the pandemic," he said. "2021 will still be a year of uncertainty, but at the same time it is expected that it will not be as dramatic (as 2020)."
"In recent months there have also been positive factors; many Italians see buying a property as an excellent way to protect their savings from a crisis."

Bryan Walsh Joins Vox as Editor of Future Perfect
Vox's Future Perfect plans to expand section and audio coverage of the issues that are most consequential to humanity's present and future.
By Vox Staff Dec 16, 2021, 10:12am EST
Share All sharing options for: Bryan Walsh Joins Vox as Editor of Future Perfect
Today, Vox editor-in-chief Swati Sharma and editorial director Elbert Ventura announced that Bryan Walsh is joining as editor of the network's Future Perfect section. In this role, he will lead the day-to-day editorial operations and manage a team of writers, including three new fellows brought on as part of the section's expansion, to continue Future Perfect's mission-driven approach to covering the news. In addition to leading the team, Bryan will play a critical role in guiding the growth of Future Perfect, which will include new projects involving audio and video, and more new staffers in the coming months.
"Bryan was truly our dream candidate to lead Future Perfect on this new phase of growth. He's a seasoned writer and editor, a proven leader, and incredibly ambitious for what we can build," said Swati Sharma, editor-in-chief of Vox.
In support of Future Perfect's mission, the BEMC Foundation has donated a generous grant to support the expansion of Future Perfect's work into other platforms, and the growth of the team. The BEMC Foundation is a grant-making organization committed to outstanding charities and causes promoting high-impact opportunities for saving and improving lives throughout the world. Future Perfect will continue to build upon what has made it distinct, focusing on stories of tremendous consequence to the world but that are relatively neglected in mainstream news coverage, and informing readers about the best ways to do good.

Before joining Vox, Bryan Walsh served as the Future Correspondent for Axios, where he wrote the twice-weekly Future newsletter on emerging technologies and major social, economic, and political trends. He was the founding editor-in-chief for Medium's OneZero publication on science and technology, and worked at Time magazine for more than 15 years as a foreign correspondent in Hong Kong, and Tokyo, as climate change correspondent, and as the magazine's foreign and international editor. He is the author of the 2019 book End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World.

The Pool Sentry™ is used to maintain the water level of a pool, spa or pond automatically. As the float drops, the water turns on. When the float reaches its set height, the water shuts off. You can adjust the float to any desired level, usually a point halfway on the tile line or skimmer.
Thread the fill tube into the float valve.
Snap the fill tube and float valve into the base.
Fill the base with small rocks or pea gravel.
Snap the top cover onto the base and attach the garden hose (not included).
Adjust the float to the desired position.
NOTE: The water stays on at all times when the Pool Sentry is in the pool. Because the hose is under constant water pressure, it is essential that you use a heavy-duty, reinforced hose.


The Select series Toffee Caramel's from Woolworth's are a cheap chocolate biscuit suited for morning teas or lunch breaks. Much like the Orange Delights, the Toffee Caramels are a small, round disc of crunchy biscuit with a (toffee flavoured) filling and a chocolate coating. They are a fairly average biscuit with the cheap ingredients leading to an average tasting bikkie.
They come in a fairly large pack and on sale are very cheap (at only $1.79) but the decision is between cost and quality. The flavouring is alright and the biscuit itself is also ok, but they do do not unseat Arnott's Mint Slice from its podium. The biscuits do taste like toffee (as advertised) but the chocolate coating lets it down. The main redeeming factor is their 'crunch-factor' which is perfect (not too hard or too soft).

New Restaurant Shows Cary Residents Fresh, Authentic Napoli Food
January 24, 2019 /in Business, Featured, Food, Restaurants /by Michael
Cary, NC – Italy has a long culinary history, with each region having its own distinct styles and flavors. Now open in Cary, Alex and Teresa's Pizzeria and Trattoria has a full menu of food from Naples, with a focus on rich food and fresh ingredients.
Naples Style
Alex and Teresa's Pizzeria and Trattoria opened at the start of 2019 in Northwoods Shopping Center off of North Harrison Avenue. Nicole Amante, managing partner along with owners Alex Ganz and Teresa Russo, said Naples has dishes that no one else has and that's what they want to bring to customers.
"There's a lot of fried street food, such as fried spaghetti and friend ravioli. The lasagna is also more creamy," Amante said. "Overall, it's richer food."
But Napoli food is also less heavy on sauce and cheese than some other Italian styles, particularly Americanized Italian food, Amante said.
"It's lighter on tomato sauce – it's not 'spaghetti and meatballs,'" Amante said. "It also uses other ingredients, like sautéed onions."
The food comes courtesy of head chef Roberto Amatucci, who has been cooking Napoli food for 20 years and is from Naples himself.
Amante also said Naples is the birthplace of pizza and Alex and Teresa's has a variety of original pies, as well as a special star-shaped pizza where the tips are like mini-calzones.
"The crust is more delicate and crispier. It's not doughy or chewy," Amante said. "We also have gluten-free dough. Gluten-free food is actually popular in Italy as well as here."
The gluten-free dough includes not just pizza but the pasta at Alex and Teresa's as well.
Fresh and Homemade
To make the food at Alex and Teresa's, Amante said all ingredients are bought fresh on an almost-daily basis.
"Nothing industrial, nothing in a can, nothing pre-made," she said. "They make their own dough, make their own ravioli and make their own gnocchi, which is lighter than most other gnocchi."
The restaurant also offers catering and even though it has only been open since the start of January, Amante said they have already catered two events.
"We have a menu but anything they want, we can make available," she said. "They can sit down with the chef and talk about what they want. We can provide anything their heart desires."
Alex and Teresa's also includes a large outdoor seating space.
Alex and Teresa's Pizzeria and Trattoria is located at 941 North Harrison Ave.
