Nick's Net Playoff Recaps
Sharks Top Kings 3-2, San Jose One Win Away From Advancing
No Comments on Sharks Top Kings 3-2, San Jose One Win Away From Advancing
The San Jose Sharks defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 on Wednesday night on home ice at SAP Center in San Jose, California in Game 4 of their First Round playoff matchup. Martin Jones made 26 saves on 28 shots against for a .929 SV% en route to the win while Jonathan Quick made 26 saves on 29 shots against with a .897 SV% in the loss.
With no score after twenty minutes of play, San Jose and Los Angeles went into the second period scoreless. The Sharks were leading in shots on goal (11-8) and faceoff wins (9-8), while the Kings led in hits (21-16), giveaways (5-3) and blocked shots (8-7) after the first period. Neither team had an opportunity on the power play.
Brent Burns kicked off the scoring in the second period for the Sharks on the power play 2:09 into the period to give San Jose a 1-0 lead. Burns' slap shot was assisted by Joel Ward (3) and Marc-Edouard Vlasic (1).
Matt Nieto was subsequently called for tripping at 2:33 of the period, thus giving the Kings their first power play opportunity of the night. Los Angeles was unable to convert on the power play and could not capitalize on another power play 5:26 into the second period, when San Jose's Joel Ward caught Drew Doughty with a high stick.
At 8:42 of the 2nd, Los Angeles defenseman, Rob Scuderi tripped Sharks forward, Tomas Hertl and was sent to the penalty box for tripping. Almost a minute later, San Jose captain, Joe Pavelski fired one home on the power play for San Jose's 2nd goal of the night and 2nd goal on the power play of the night. Pavelski's fourth goal of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs was assisted by Joe Thornton (2) and Patrick Marleau (2) at 9:21 of the 2nd period.
With the Sharks leading 2-0 late in the period, Luke Schenn was called for roughing Thornton, giving San Jose their third power play of the night. The penalty kill expired for Los Angeles at 19:30 and for the first time on Wednesday night, the Kings successfully killed off a penalty.
After two periods of play, San Jose led Los Angeles 2-0.
Just past the 90-second mark in the third period, Jamie McBain caught Joonas Donskoi with a high stick, sending the Sharks on their fourth power play of the night.
All San Jose needed was six seconds before Marleau beat Quick to give the Sharks a 3-0 lead with his first goal of the playoffs and San Jose's 3rd power play goal of the night.
Logan Couture picked up his 2nd assist of the postseason and Burns picked up his 3rd assist of the playoffs on Marleau's goal at 1:40 of the 3rd period.
But uneasiness quickly settled in as Kings forward, Trevor Lewis tipped in a shot past Jones at 2:49 of the period to cut the Sharks lead to two. Luke Schenn and Kris Versteeg both picked up their first assists of the postseason on Lewis' 2nd goal of the series.
Schenn continued the hot hands and scored at 6:44 of the 3rd period to bring the Kings to within one goal of the Sharks, trailing 3-2, on his first of the series. Anze Kopitar and Marian Gaborik picked up the assists on Schenn's tally.
Despite an onslaught of Los Angeles opportunities and the Kings pressing in every sense of the word, the Sharks held them off and sealed the 3-2 victory on home ice to give them a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5. San Jose finished the night leading in shots on goal (29-28), faceoff wins (29-28), giveaways (17-13), takeaways (7-6) and blocked shots (25-18), while Los Angeles finished the game leading in hits (46-35).
The Sharks were 3/4 on the power play in Game 4 with all three of their goals having been on the man advantage and the Kings were 0/2 on the power play on Wednesday.
Kings defenseman, Alec Martinez, missed his third game in a row due to injury and has yet to be officially ruled out for Game 5.
Game 5 is scheduled for Friday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, where the San Jose Sharks have the chance to eliminate the Los Angeles Kings on the road and advance to the Second Round of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Our World Today
Kayleigh Gerard and Aiden Huynh|April 27, 2021
https://miro.medium.com/max/750/1*LibbLzb-pRbM_kTWX6I6zQ.png
Last year people were looking forward to their spring break, wondering about where their family might go for vacation, daydreaming about the sweet fragrance of newly bloomed flowers and enjoying their time out. Having this planned ahead at the time they weren't expecting what was coming for them, a worldwide pandemic, sweeping the earth into quick unsettlement and many jobs being lost through this process.
On July 24, 1933, Roosevelt gave a radio address in which he coined the term "first 100 days". In one of his statements at the time he spoke, "we all wanted the opportunity of a little quiet thought to examine and assimilate in a mental picture the crowding events of the hundred days which had been devoted to the starting of the wheels of the new deal."
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt led the United States from isolationism to the ending and victory over Nazi Germany and with it's allies in World War II. He spearheaded the successful wartime alliance between Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States and helped lay the groundwork for the post-war peace organization that would become the United Nations. The only American president in history to be elected four times. Roosevelt soon died in office in April 1945.
Joe Biden is our newly elected president of the United States of America. He has created a new website called Joe Biden's Vision For America. Biden created this website to help Americans know and understand what his goals are for his first 100 days in office.
This website includes everything Biden plans on doing before his first 100 days are over. This website mentions that Biden has a plan to beat Covid 19 and reopen schools safely. He also plans to inject many coronavirus vaccines into the U.S citizens and ending the pandemic.
The 7B Digital Journalism students are ambitious writers that spent a month researching and writing these articles to inform the public about our world today. I suggest taking a look at some of them and also taking a look at president Joe Biden's website to find out more about what he plans to accomplish in his first 100 days.

The U.S. Department of Education this hour has released the first round of measures under its new gainful employment rule, which tests which career college programs, though a combination of high prices and low quality, leave too many of their graduates with overwhelming student loan debt.
The requirements of the final gainful employment rule are fairly weak, punishing only some of the most egregious abusers. Operators of some of the biggest for-profit colleges, especially those with better records of performance, have ensured investors that they can keep or bring their programs into compliance with the rule. But in Washington, lobbyists for the industry have engaged in a sustained freakout over the rule since the Obama Administration started pursuing it in 2009, because the industry's lobbying agenda has always emphasized shielding the worst of the worst behavior.
The new data shows there were one or more failing programs at many of the biggest for-profit college companies: the University of Phoenix, the Graham family's Kaplan chain, Education Management Corp.'s Art Institutes, Career Education Corp.'s Sanford-Brown College, DeVry University, Laureate's Walden University, the Mitt Romney-affiliated Full Sail University and Vatterott College, the demised ITT Tech and Corinthian's Everest College, and many others.
"Zero community colleges failed," Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell emphasized on a call with reporters this afternoon.
The Department of Education, after decades of tolerating egregious fraud and abuse by many for-profit colleges, has finally removed the gloves in recent years, standing up to predatory schools and their lobbyists and rapidly improving protections for students and taxpayers. Today, the Department, in a press release, did not hesitate to say that for-profit colleges are often a bad option for students: "The data released today provide further evidence that community colleges offer a better deal than comparable programs at for-profit colleges with higher price tags. As these new data depict, when student debt is taken into account, community colleges--where students borrow at lower rates and lower dollar amounts--perform particularly well when matched up against comparable for-profit programs."
In November the Department released data showing (1) that mean earnings of graduates of public undergraduate career training certificate programs are nearly $9,000 higher than mean earnings of graduates of for-profit undergraduate certificate programs; and (2) that nearly a third of for-profit certificate students graduated from programs where the typical graduate earned less than what a full-time minimum wage worker earns in a year--compared with only 14 percent in the public sector.
The Department had previously reported that 72 percent of the for-profit college programs it analyzed produced graduates who, on average, earned less than high school dropouts. A May 2016 study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research concluded that for-profit college students, graduates and dropouts combined, earned less after leaving school than they did before they enrolled.
"It's clear that poor performance is concentrated in the for-profit college sector," Mitchell concluded on today's press call. Seems that way.
Not to mention that many for-profit colleges have been under law enforcement investigation for deceptive recruiting and other misconduct.
The Department's release also uses refreshingly candid language to describe the efforts by wealthy Wall Street barons and their lobbyists to derail the gainful employment rule, despite all the evidence of abuses: "The Department faced unprecedented opposition from the for-profit industry throughout the process. The U.S. District Courts for the District of Columbia and the Southern District of New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the Department's regulations, rejecting the industry's attempts to fight basic accountability measures - a clear sign that the courts continue to recognize both the Department's legal authority and its reasonable approach in establishing these important consumer protections."
Big for-profit schools whose programs flunked the initial trial run of the gainful employment rule in 2012 included Education Management Corporation, Career Education Corporation, Kaplan, Full Sail, and Corinthian.
The industry fought not only against the measures and penalties in the rule, but even against being required to disclose to students truthful information about the costs and benefits of their programs. Today the Department unveiled a new disclosure template, to be implemented later this month, that it will require schools to use to give information to prospective students.
There is still much work to be done, including to provided loan forgiveness to ripped-off students, and to stop the flow of federal money to some of the awful for-profit colleges that continue to enroll students. But that work is now endangered.
The for-profit college industry and its paid GOP pals on Capitol Hill are salivating over the fact that the next President of the United States was previously the president of Trump University. They hope he will dump the gainful employment rule and other accountability measures implemented in recent years.
Although Trump appears bent on breaking many of his promises -- to drain the DC swamp, to reduce the influence of Goldman Sachs, to help working people, to root out government waste, fraud, and abuse, etc. -- we can at least hope that his team is not dumb enough to revert to a time when fraudulent college operators were raiding the Treasury at will.
Trump's nominee for Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, will surely be asked about all this at her hearing, scheduled for Wednesday.
CECU, the troubled trade association for career colleges, confronted today with more evidence that many for-profit schools are a bad deal for students, has tried to invent a procedural objection, claiming that the Department's release of the data "is disappointing and disrespectful" because "the Department should provide every school with the 14 days to file a notice of appeal, the 60 days to file the appeal, and the appropriate time for the Department to review such evidence and rule on the appeal before any public disclosure is made." CECU claims that the Department's action to publish the data now "makes clear this is all about political motivations and harming institutions... We had hoped this Department would comply with the timelines and procedures it had established. Unfortunately we should not have expected even this minimum level of decency from them."
CECU's whining is uncalled for. In fact, the Department has observed the timelines and procedures required under the regulation. The Department sent colleges their draft data in October, and the schools were able to file challenges, which the Department was required to review before publishing today's data. None of that was made public. Under the rule, schools now have fourteen days to indicate if they plan to appeal. This process is consistent with the procedures for evaluations of college default rates, another measure that determines eligibility for federal aid: The draft rates are shared only with schools, schools can privately challenge them, the final rates are publicly disclosed, and then schools can submit appeals.
This process makes sense. The school gets an opportunity to engage with the Department initially in private, but at some point -- at least when a school is contesting a determination by Department officials -- the public is entitled to know what is going on.

Anthony Mackie will play MLK to Bryan Cranston's LBJ, it was announced today
Danette Chavez
After taking on the role of a high-flying hero in the Captain America and Avengers franchises, Anthony Mackie is set to play a slightly more (or less, depending on your perspective) down-to-earth figure: the actor will portray iconic civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in the cable TV adaptation of the recent Broadway hit All The Way.
Mackie's Dr. King will appear opposite Bryan Cranston's Lyndon B. Johnson, and Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan will adapt his own work for the premium cable audience. HBO secured the rights to the play last July, when it was announced that Cranston would reprise his role as LBJ. Though Cranston did not originate the role, he did ride it halfway to an EGOT, nabbing a Best Actor Tony in 2014 to go with his Breaking Bad Emmy.
All The Way follows LBJ from his inauguration as the 36th President through different types of swearing as he fights to get some crucial legislation, i.e., The Civil Rights Act of 1964, passed. Deadline is reporting that Mackie's MLK will have a significant role in the TV movie, which will depict a "far more collaborative and complex relationship" between the two leaders "than was depicted in the Best Picture nominee Selma." Which should be good news for everyone who saw Selma and thought: "Needs more [good] white people."
All The Way is just one of several new projects for Mackie, who's in high demand these days. He's just wrapped Xmas and Shelter, and in March he signed on to play Jesse Owens in an as-yet-untitled film about the Olympic medalist. Mackie knows his way around a biopic, having appeared as Tupac in Notorious, some guy from Eminem's youth in 8 Mile, and a Slayer in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

It was a short lived run for the Top 12 as the American Idol 2015 Top 11 will be revealed tonight on FOX starting at 8PM when host Ryan Seacrest announces the results of your votes and the contestants return to perform again.
American Idol returns at 8PM ET/PT for a two-hour show and it's the first live performance show of the season! Unlike the past few performance episodes this one will feature a single elimination from the Top 12 ranks. We just met them yesterday but that party is over. By the end of the night we'll have the Top 11. Who will make it?
Taking a look at the results from last night and our own Top 12 poll we can already see who could be the two most susceptible Hopefuls: Quentin Alexander and Adanna Duru. America has effectively voted them out already but the Judges saw fit to get them another chance at the big prize. Having rewatched their performances I'd say Quentin capitalized on this second life better than Adanna and that's bad news for Ms. Duru.
Tonight's show is more than just American Idol results though. The Top 11 will be performing "Party Songs" for this week's second theme and they'll be doing it live after weeks of pre-taped events.
Along with the Idol contestants we'll also get guest performances by Empire's Jussie Smollett and Bryshere Gray as they take the stage with "No Apologies." Sounds like it's going to be a very busy night and I can't wait to see how it all turns out!
Join us here tonight at 8PM ET as we live blog the performance and results show. Find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Email Updates to get even more American Idol coverage.
If I had my druthers, Joey or Qaasim would be eliminated as I don't see either of them generating music sales. IMO they are visual performers.
I'm ready to take a pass on Joey. I just don't know. I'm still enjoying Qaasim though.
@ Stormy I agree with you and I think that Daniel should go to. I don't think he is as good as the others.
Please…. Qaasim can dance and perform but this is a singing competition and he CANNOT sing with these other guys and gals. .
Tyanna was amazing. Let's hope Quentin is selected please.

Encide blog authors will, in good faith, attempt to acquire a User's permission, at our discretion, for potentially objectionable Usage of User Content (for example, when opinions that may not be popular are quoted).

In May of 2018, GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, be the EU [European Union]) went into affect. This was followed by a similar California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018. Similar laws are expected to follow. These laws provide basic protection for users against companies using user data in ways that the users are not aware of. WordPress 4.9.6 and up offers GDPR compliant software. Encide uses a more current version than this, which makes us in compliance with GDPR to the best of our knowledge.
Encide creates "Original Content" while the community of Users contributes "User-generated Content" (or "UGC"). Original Content may also be crafted as a layer on top of copyrighted, yet credited Materials (to the best of Encide's ability with respects to true acknowledgment and current Information). Any and all instances where copyrighted Materials are Used to support Original Content will be carefully assessed for strong Fair Use compliance. The following sections detail (I) how we may use copyrighted Materials under Fair Use guidelines, (II) how we, in good faith, offer free exposure and crediting wherever possible, and (III) how we can be contacted if you believe that your copyrighted Materials are being Used inappropriately or if you would like to make a Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Takedown request. Encide will respond quickly and will respectfully cooperate will any requests or complaints. Our intent is to create discussions around topics in the design industry and culture, as well as to curate and feature Original Works that we believe are relevant to those discussions by offering supportive content.
If you believe your copyrighted Materials have been Used on our Service without authorization, and you would like to receive appropriate crediting without filing a hefty DMCA request, please contact us through email (legal@encide.com) or our contact page. We post large amounts of inspirational Content and while we do our best to properly credit each piece of Work by scanning the artwork for Author marks or using reverse image search technologies, we cannot always find the proper attribution for all Materials. Similarly, we may improperly credit the wrong copyright holder due to human error or incorrect Information from other Services Used during our discovery process. If you discover crediting Information that is either non-existent or incorrect, please contact us with screenshots of the Materials with incorrect or missing Data and provide us with the correct Information along with any supporting evidence you may have to ensure we are providing our Users with the most accurate details possible. We prefer this route in all cases, even for cases where copyright holders simply don't want Encide to use their copyrighted work on our Website. We have a reasonable, respectful policy regarding copyright laws and we appreciate polite requests in legitimate scenarios.
Copyrighted Material ("Material(s)") includes, but is not limited to, digitalized text, images, audio, video, or any other form of Content that may be reproduced, or is valid Intellectual Property (IP). Materials used in support of Encide's Original Content may come from potentially any source and is used explicitly under Fair Use guidelines. Any copyright owner is legally entitled to make a DMCA Takedown request if they believe, in good faith, that unauthorized Materials have been Used in a way that is not protected under Fair Use laws. In regards to User-generated Content, any Information you choose to provide in a comment or a submission on the Site or the Service will be publicly available and should reflect how much you want other Users to know about you. We recommend that you guard your anonymity and sensitive Information and we encourage you to think carefully about what Information about yourself you disclose in your comments or submissions. If you disclose Your Information to others, whether or not they are Users of the Site, on our Site or through the Service or otherwise, different rules may apply to their Use or disclosure of the Information you disclose to them.
Encide's Original Content may on occasion contain supporting copyrighted Materials (Intellectual Property) with or without permission from the owners or Author's of the Content with significant, respectful attention paid to Fair Use laws. Each wholistic piece of Original Content that contains copyrighted Material(s) is carefully crafted to pass the four-factor balancing test which considers (I) the purpose and character of our use, (II) the nature of the copyrighted work, (III) the amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and (IV) the effect of the use upon the potential market. While this disclaimer does not necessarily exclude the rights of Copyright owner(s) who are entitled to take action and make claims of infringement if they desire, our hope is to come to an agreement regarding any disputes with little or no legal action.
You acknowledge and Agree that we and our licensors retain ownership of all intellectual property rights of any kind related to the Service, including applicable copyrights, trademarks and other proprietary rights.

Encide respects the intellectual property rights of others and requests that the Users do the same. Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. 512(I) of the United States Copyright Act, Encide has adopted and implemented a Policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of Users of the Service who are repeat infringers. Encide may terminate access for participants or Users who are found repeatedly to provide or post protected Third Party Content without necessary rights and permissions. Encide holds a strict policy regarding copyright infringement we discover, and we will likely terminate Users before there are multiple recurrences.
If you believe that your User-generated Content ("UGC") that has been removed from the Site is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and Use the Content in your UGC you may send a counter-notice containing the following Information to our copyright agent using the contact information set forth above:
A description of the Content that has been removed and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed;
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by Encide copyright agent, Encide may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing such person that it may reinstate the removed Content in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or User, the removed Content may (in Encide's discretion) be reinstated on the Site in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice.

Anthony Fauci: I Am the Science

With his latest remarks, Fauci has given his game away. It's a game we should stop playing.
NRPLUS MEMBER ARTICLE A few people show up in Botswana with a new variant of COVID, and Dr. Anthony Fauci was scrambled from NIAID to appear on the Sunday shows, where he had no useful information at all to share on this development of the virus. But he did manage to criticize President Trump, aggrandize himself as a martyr, say that Florida "does not want to get vaccinated" (it's in the top 20 most vaccinated US states), and attempt to revive the wet-market theory of COVID's origin.
And then he turned around and accused everyone else of politicizing the pandemic and public health:

Spring arrived in earnest a few weeks ago in this corner of SouthWest France. Temperatures have been nudging the mercury to around twenty two centigrade in recent days but inevitably each morning arrives with a cold start and a light frost on the grass, however it doesn't hang about for long and it's Tee shirt weather by lunchtime. My Peach tree above has been in bloom for over a week now, fingers crossed that we don't have a sharp frost as it'll yield little fruit, but looking at longer range weather forecasts it seems nothing too sinister is on the horizon, maybe there will be a glut this Summer?
Forsythia has been showy for weeks now. I know they're everywhere, but things are better for that as I reckon them to be the most cheery sight each Spring.
The Château de Castelnaud viewed through Cherry blossom. Standing high above the Dordogne valley, I literally have to stop the car every time I drive past, a wonderful sight, really it's a case of any excuse to take a photo of it!
The Magnolias are almost finished now; all too soon the show's over. I particularly liked this one in front of a grand old Manoir in St. Cyprien.
Thundery weather today. Calm, not a zephyr, blossom scent just hangs in the air on days like these.
Ah well, the clocks have gone forward, the equinox just passed, Spring marches on.
As always, your photos are wonderful and inclusive of the architecture and environs.
Your zone doesn't seem that different from here, perhaps only 1-2 weeks difference in bloom times for early spring.
I hope Paris and Provence will have some blooms for us to enjoy in the next few weeks.
Fun to see my 'friends' living across the pond.
They have no castles or ancient architecture as backdrop near me.
Loving the fragrance,now, of akebia & viburnum.
Do you have kerria? A hard color to use but perfect when it blooms.
its always a source of happiness to see a post from your blog show up in my feed. I love your photos and only wish you had the free time to share more with us!
You've been holding out on us. Magnolias nearly OVER?! But thank you for these :-)Even in Brooklyn we had scent in the air yesterday - a hidden flower over a wall, somewhere, perhaps winter honeysuckle.
I can almost smell your blossoms.
What lovely spring blooms framing yours and others architecture Rob. I love how you go from the turret to the chateau. Your world is so beautiful in any season but the light and colors just now are pretty amazing.
Nobody else's blog makes me want to move somewhere more than yours! Happy Spring.
Beautiful Rob, so glad to see Spring at last.
The flowers and the sunshine against the golden limestone ~ perfect.
You really do live in Paradise, you know that, don't you? Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
You have given me hope that spring is on its way. I am still in snow. I can feel the warmth and smell the blossoms through your photos. Thanks.
Beautiful! It inspires me to get out and start fussing. Unfortunately, it's still quite wet and chilly here, not too many things in bloom here.
Is it the brand of your camera that makes your photos so dreamy? No, I know what it is. The eyes of your heart are the lens through which you photograph your world.
I like to think of your life as idyllic. It appears so from here, though I'm sure you have moments of imperfection too. Right now, we're struggling with a recurrence of winter. Temps down into the low 20s at night. Enjoy spring!
We are ready for spring here in the PNW. Rain, heavy rain, cold wind, and more rain, with only a touch of sunshine here and there. Our Magnolia stellata is weeping I'm sure as many of the blossoms, unopened, are being thrown to the ground. But your beautiful blossoms and photos, Rob, allowed me to feel the magic.
Stunning images, Rob. Your glorious spring, way ahead of ours, makes my heart sing!
Simply stunning and I'm so pleased I came across your blog. I'm missing the Dordogne. This is perfect to have a window to such a beautiful place. Can't wait to get back there in the summer!
Thank you for sharing pictures from your part of the world. Forsythia is everywhere here as well, but after winter I think it is needed therapy.
Just awesome. We seem to have the same plants in bloom here.
Lovely photos. I'm glad I found your blgo.
Those daytime temperatures sound quite blissful - we have not reached those dizzy heights yet but the winter woolies are coming off. I imagine the blossom scent must be even sweeter in your warmer temperatures. Great photos as always Rob.
Oh my, how I wish I could visit! The scent of blossom hanging in the air, lovely warm days and all those beautiful trees!
Thank you for these beautiful views of spring !
Beautiful spring blooms to enjoy.
Such lovely spring photos along with all the different scenery to go with it!


Yummylicious cream cheese poppers for appetiser!
There wasn't particularly interesting about the bread. In fact, it was a tad dry.
The deep-fried red peppers stuffed with cream cheese made a really good appetiser dish. They weren't only appetisingly spicy, but also addictively savoury. The outer casing was crunchy and not too thick. The only qualm I had was with the fries, which seemed to have been fried much earlier and left to stand for quite some time.
Described as "special Turkish ravioli" in the menu booklet, the first main course that came to the table didn't look grand. Despite that, each of the petite pouch was enjoyably chewy, filled with minced beef. The white sauce, which was mainly yogurt in terms of its composition, was tangy and velvety.
I didn't know why, but I was so set on ordering the breaded chicken breast when I saw its availability in the café. However, it turned out to be a wrong decision as the white meat was quite hard and dry, although it didn't taste bad. The fries made matters worse, but thankfully the vegetables were pretty fresh.
That was my second time having the local mosaic cake, the first one was at Cakes & Bakes before I left Izmir. The one served at the café was sans pistachio crumbs, but it was more chocolatey. Having said that, it could definitely be richer and perhaps just a little bit sweeter as well.
Out of the six variants available: white chocolate, caramel, nut, banana, strawberry and sour cheery, I choose the first one on the list. Just like the dessert, it was adequately sweet, but not as rich as I'd expected it to be. As you can see, it came with a generous amount of whipped cream.

Thomas Øvlisen :
12. February 2021 to 9. May 2021
If the title of the exhibition seems familiar, it is because it is taken from J.M. Barrie's novel from 1911 about Peter Pan and his journey to Neverland which can be found by heading towards "Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning." By referring to Neverland, Øvlisen connects his exhibition with a fantasy universe where dreams, freedom and utopia are in focus.
In front of the windows are paintings of seagulls hovering on a blue background. Air and sea meet here in the blue and form a frame around the seagull. The bird can be perceived as a magical object that is at one and the same time annoying and noisy with its screams but also a symbol of freedom with its movements on the border between sea and land.
The floor of the exhibition is covered by almost four tons of pink sand framed by white tennis lines. At the front and back of the room are grey concrete walls where you can etch your name, a sign or something else that means something to you. The court is as s fragment of an urban city space where people meet and learn by experience, not only in sports but also in friendships, love and dreams about the future.
Second Star to the Right is about reconnecting, not just to one's own childhood and innocence but also between us humans today and the common contemporary history of which we are a part.
The artist himself regularly will be present at the exhibition and has moved parts of his studio into the Tower Gallery opposite the exhibition space.

Les Bruttiens (ou Brutiens, ou encore Brettiens, latin : Bruttii ou Brettii) étaient une  tribu antique, de langues osque et grec ancien, issue du peuple des Lucaniens, eux-mêmes d'origine samnite. Cette tribu est à l'origine du nom de la région romaine du Bruttium (ou ager Bruttius), correspondant à la Calabre actuelle.

Histoire

C'est à partir du  que les Bruttiens apparaissent dans la pointe de la péninsule italienne, s'émancipant des Lucaniens auxquels ils étaient asservis et dont ils reçurent leur nom. Décrits comme un ramassis de toute espèce d'esclaves fugitifs, de brigands nomades aux mœurs frustes, ils s'organisent progressivement et font pression sur les cités côtières de la Grande-Grèce continentale. Les Bruttiens dominent peu à peu une partie de la côte tyrrhénienne, depuis Pœstum jusqu'à Thurii sur les bords de la mer Ionienne.
D'après Diodore de Sicile, « ils prirent d'abord d'assaut la ville d'Urina et la pillèrent, puis ils soumirent Arponium, Thurium et beaucoup d'autres villes, et établirent partout le même gouvernement. »

Les Bruttiens affrontèrent Alexandre le Molosse, roi d'Épire, Agathocle, roi de Sicile, et combattirent les Romains aux côtés de Pyrrhus. Soumis après l'intégration de la Grande Grèce dans le giron romain, les Bruttiens furent les premiers à faire cause commune avec les Carthaginois lors de la deuxième guerre punique. À la suite de la défaite des troupes d'Hannibal, ils furent déclarés indignes de servir dans les légions romaines et réduits à des fonctions serviles de courriers et de messagers publics.

Des textes antiques évoquent la « forêt des Bruttiens », aussi nommée Sila.

If you're thinking about getting an industrial blower, then there are a number of factors you'll need to be to find that you receive the ideal. There are numerous blowers in the marketplace.
Some are designed to be heavy with all the blowing power and operate for extended operation time. This manner, in accordance with the priority of this handyman or homeowner, the machines have various priorities.
The machine should have great blowing power. Industrial blowers include several different blowing abilities.
Some machines are so strong they will dismiss the air for quite a very long time with much more thrust, and so are fantastic for cleaning huge spaces, like in hotels, public possessions, and large industrial properties, lakesides, public parks, etc.
Some machines are for cleaning small distances, and possess a decrease blowing off power, and therefore are only apt for cleaning little yards and gardens that you have before your little home.
If the mill is of high power and consequently includes a heavier battery using more energy, then it'll be full of weight as a result of battery only.
Cordless design is essential, and you ought to start looking for industrial blowers that are cordless. In case you need to take the extra weight of the cable also, it is going to be tough and prohibitive for moves also.
The industrial blower has to charge up quickly. Quick charging and great battery life are essential for extended hours of operation in the event of large distances to wash.
