It's Friday. It has been a long week (especially after a crazy short one last week) and I am in the middle of several recipes. So today, instead of listing off a half complete recipe, I thought today I would discuss my little list of restaurant grievances.
Now, keep in mind, these are not directed at any particular establishment or person, just some things that drive me nuts when I go out to eat.
There are several types of offenses here, but they both stem from the same origination: too much mayo. Let's set the scene. It's lunchtime, and you are craving a delicious sandwich to tide you over for your noon time meal. You decide on a nice BLT, and you picture this lovely sandwich- toasted bread, juicy, ruby red tomatoes, crisp lettuce, strips of wonderful smoky bacon and a little mayo to tie it all together. Doesn't that sound delightful? Maybe it's whole wheat toast, and the nuttiness of the bread you know will just blend so perfectly with the salty smoke of the bacon, and the sweet tomato. Then, you receive your sandwich, from the outside all seems picture perfect. The bread is warm, you spy that cheerful tomato peeking out from under its cover of lettuce and there are those meaty strips bringing it all home. But then, you take your first bite. You don't taste the tomato, or the nutty grains of the bread, or even that lovely bacon. All you taste, as it oozes out of the sandwich is the may, applied far too liberally, and thereby ruining a perfectly good sandwich. Shed a tear for that BLT- it's a goner. Sure you could scrape off the excess offensive white stuff, but by the time that's done the bread will be cold, and you know that it will never fit together again properly so that the ingredients don't squeeze out during consumption. Criminal.
The second offense with mayo- similar to above, but different in application. Another lunchtime arrives, and this time your in the mood for a little tuna salad, or perhaps chicken salad, so you head to the deli and order a nice sandwich, the person making your sandwich heaps on mounds of the salad of your liking on to the bread of your choice- and then...to your horror adds additional mayo to the top slice of bread. WHY? Why must we have Mayo overload? Somehow this needs to be addressed- we must stop the excess Mayo situation.
"Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive." I will never understand this one. Don't claim to use truffle oil if you're just using regular old vegetable oil. Don't farm fresh produce if the lifeless greens on my plate obviously came from whatever distributor. Don't claim Kobe when it's just not. I will say this much, I am 100% more upset when I feel lied to on a menu, than if I had known going in what I was ordering.
If you are out of the majority of the menu, please tell me that before I make my selection(s). I get excited about the food I'm going to eat. I read menus like they are in the coveted #1 spot on the New York Times Best Seller list. I read every ingredient listed and imagine how they will be used and how they will work together. It is truly upsetting to get that excited and then have my dreams killed...especially several times. If it's just one item, fine, but if most of the menu appears to be MIA, just a heads up would be nice.
Maybe this is just me, but I have serious cravings for spicy food. I seek out cuisines that I know will satiate that craving. Please, kitchens everywhere, when I order the spiciest thing on the menu, and confirm I want it spicy- PLEASE believe me. It makes me so sad when I get ready to light my taste buds on fire, and I can barely feel any heat at all.
So there you have it guys, an end of week rant examining my biggest restaurant pet peeves.
Do you guys agree? What are your pet peeves?
Totally agree with the spicy thing! It's so hard to find a place that'll actually give me truly spicy food. That's why I love Hell Night at East Coast Grill so much - you KNOW it'll be insanely spicy (and delicious)!
Not an in-restaurant pet peeve, but it drives me crazy when the main page on the website has no hours or phone number. And when the menu has no prices!
Other pet peeve - telling you a shorter wait time than it really is. I'd be happier if I called sooner...rather than later.
I'm with you on the mayo - the amounts they put on subs are ridiculous.
Hope you have a pet-peeve free dining weekend!
SO GLAD we met the other day- I love this post! Well first, I have a fear of mayonnaise (unless you count spicy mayonnaise on Sushi- hehe) I also hate when you go to order something and they dont have it anymore AND I love Spicy food. Hell Night?
Yes! I hate when they don't bother to tell you something has been 86'd. I also hate when you order a dish and it's missing half the things it's supposed to come with.
I agree with Lara on everything! I hate when prices aren't listed. Makes me not want to even go there!
I hate when you make a reservation and it still takes them 15 minutes to sit you! Why make the reservation in the first place?!
This might be a weird one, but I hate when they auction off your plate at the table. you know, when they bring everything over and it's like "who had the fish??" "who had the pasta??" it's very easy to write who had what on the slip. not much bothers me at restaurants but for some reason I really really hate that this move has become so commonplace.
I hate, hate, hate, when a high-end restaurant has spelling/grammar errors on the menu. Like you I read every word....if they don't spell check the menu I notice.
Right on with the mayo too! its everywhere!


MARINA DINEVI is one of the emblems of the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast and is among the most famous places for the young, curious, adventures and all who are in love with the marine life.
By its opening in 2007, MARINA DINEVI gave a serious request to become an elite club place for yachtsmen and people for whom the luxury and style are not only a way of life, but also a philosophy.
Still on a draft project, the pier impressed with its innovative vision and moderate approach and won the prestigious prize for investments Bentley Award. And the Bible among the world-class yacht magazines Boat International, ranked Bulgaria among the countries having the best yacht ports in the world for 2008.
And this has its explanation. The yacht port corresponds to all criteria of a modern high technological facility. Its capacity is 300 boats and offers the entire range of services that may be considered necessary for the operation and maintenance of the yachts. The high level of service confirmed its image of an elite port, which even the most prestigious resorts would be proud of.
The coloring and the incredible atmosphere of this place is complemented by the series of beach establishments. Here are one of the best restaurants and establishments, the 5-star "Palace" boutique hotel, casino, chic boutiques and impressive yachts. The boulevard for walks along the yachts and the beach is a favorite place of the city guests. The pink bushes, situated along the alleys, palms, retro totems and the colorful night lighting create a sense of carelessness and romance.
The marine has become an attractive center for very demanding tourists looking for tranquility, sophistication and entertainment at their own choice. Over the years it became a preferred pier of numerous business, cultural, sport and secular events.


PremiumCoding is a group of theme developers that provide their own theme club full of over two dozen WordPress themes in a variety of different classes. They offer a combination of premium and free motifs as well as a wide range of unique ways to cover superior topics.
We are going to have a peek at the company's theme collection in this review in addition to analyze their general pricing scheme. Let us get started.
PremiumCoding was set in 2010 as a two-man operation designing, construction and uploading themes to ThemeForest about the Envato marketplace. They started their very own theme club 2015 and haven't looked back since. Today, the business has over 25 WordPress topics, eight staff members and over 28,500 clients.
PremiumCoding targets heavily on blog themes. All of their topics have blogging capabilities, and they offer a dozen themes designed specifically for professional and individual blogs. Let us look at some.
Camila is a superior blogging theme constructed for creatives, but it may be used as a magazine theme for content-heavy websites. It uses a minimalist design that actually puts the focus on your articles, particularly your images. It is a great alternative for bloggers who wish to showcase their own graphics, for example travel, beauty, lifestyle and fashion bloggers.
Hayes is a superior blogging motif intended for photographers and travel bloggers. It includes multiple homepage variations and even lets you create your own designs through the use of cubes. These blocks comprise Featured Posts, Upper Header, About Us, Revolution Slider and Instagram Feed. It also uses a simple, minimalist design.
PremiumCoding offers several complimentary WordPress themes, which act as"lite" versions to get a few of its premium themes. These are stripped-down versions of their premium motifs, but they nevertheless offer a significant bit of features. They're more or less designed to give you a taste of their respective premium topics. The developer offers six free themes, as of April 2016.
This is Everly Lite, the free version of the premium blogging theme Everly. It will still allow you to build a complete website capable of showcasing your latest posts if you're a blogger and graphics if you are a photographer. It simply excludes the ability to use the Revolution Slider and change colours.
PremiumCoding concentrates on blogging topics, but it does offer additional motif categories too. These include, as stated earlier, portfolio topics, e-commerce topics, and business themes. It offers a fantastic selection of portfolio topics and a few business themes as far as amounts go, but its e-commerce theme collection is a tiny light.
This is LandScape. It is technically a portfolio theme for most photographers, but it has enough homepage demos and flexibility to be used as another blogging motif. It employs a minimalist design which really makes your picture stick out.
Presenter is a business motif for entrepreneurs. You can also utilize calls to action throughout the page in addition to display client testimonials, your most recent blog posts and a slider featuring logos of the brands that you work with/publications you have been showcased in, etc..
Marketeer is a special sort of e-commerce motif. It permits you to build a digital marketplace through an integration with the Easy Digital Downloads ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It's four-page designs, and it allows you to utilize the power of articles promotion by featuring different layouts for sites. It uses a clean design overall, giving you excellent way to advertise your merchandise.
PremiumCoding is a subject club, therefore there are several various approaches that you can cover and access its themes. Besides using a free theme, you can purchase one motif, buy a one-year membership permit or buy a lifetime membership permit.
Whichever license type you purchase, the basic advantages are more or less same. You'll have access to updates and support for so long as your membership remains active, and you can use the theme on an infinite number of domain names. The features change based on which license type you choose with.
Buying a single-theme license simply provides you with access to that specific theme. If you combine the theme bar, you will have access to PremiumCoding's 27+ theme set in addition to any additional themes the programmer releases throughout your time as a participant (the developer releases a new theme every five to six weeks). You will also have access to PSD files for themes that utilize them.
The only drawback you will experience as a programmer trying to find a new motif club to utilize as a resource for your business is the developer's limited source of e-commerce themes. If most of your clients need blogs, portfolios and traditional business sites, however, this programmer would make a great resource to your company.

LONDON • Newcastle beat Burnley 2-1 to pull further clear of the English Premier League relegation zone with a third successive win and their first at Turf Moor in over 40 years.
Federico Fernandez's fourth-minute shot, which took a huge deflection off Ben Mee, gave Newcastle an early lead before the lead was doubled by Ciaran Clark in the 23rd minute. The hosts pulled one back with Sam Vokes' header five minutes before half-time.
Newcastle moved up into 13th place in the top-flight football table, four points clear of the bottom three, with Burnley just a point above the relegation zone.
LONDON • Former England defender Sol Campbell has taken over as manager of English fourth-tier League Two club Macclesfield Town on an 18-month deal, the football club said yesterday.
Macclesfield, who are bottom of the league with just two wins from 19 games, has been without a manager since Mark Yates was sacked on Oct 8.
Campbell, 44, who will be taking up his first managerial position, has been working with England Under-21s as part of the Football Association's plan to give black and minority ethnic coaches experience in the national team set-up.
MOSCOW • A team of unnamed experts sent by the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) will meet Russian officials in Moscow today to begin the process of recovering data from the era of institutional doping.
The face-to-face meeting will prepare the ground for the process, which could take days or even weeks, of extracting doping data from the former Moscow laboratory.
Wada suspended Russian doping agency Rusada in November 2015, after investigations found that, between 2011 and 2015, the country organised massive doping fraud centred on a Moscow testing laboratory. Wada made access to the lab a prerequisite of reinstating Rusada.

Service scholars lend helping hand
Stevenson University's second annual service scholarship program awarded 27 new service scholars for the 2017-2018 school year.
Some of the inaugural class of the Service Scholars participated in Mustangs Make a Difference Day in 2016. (Photo from of Stevenson University Facebook)
The Service Scholarship program offers first-year students the opportunity to explore their purpose in service learning, improve the world around them, and discover skills that may enhance personal and social growth.
The Service Scholars have high expectations for the school year. Morgan Somerville, director of student engagement, explained that each service scholar has a direct partnership with a local nonprofit in the community for whom each student serves on a regular basis to complete a required minimum of 100 hours of service per academic year.
"Our main goal for the partnerships is for the students to take ownership and become real members of their nonprofit team," said Somerville.
Stevenson service scholars pride themselves on their commitment to service, and that is reflected through their work. Each scholar is required to enroll in a total of three service-learning courses prior to graduation. They must also attend monthly meetings and reflection sessions within the academic year.
Somerville explained, "We set these requirements in order to help foster and grow each member's commitment to service."
The Service and Leadership scholars participated in a variety of orientation activities. (Photo from Facebook)
There are many benefits to the program, and the outcomes for the scholars are significant, said Somerville. Each student walks away with tangible leadership skills, service experience, and a supportive community of peers and mentors.
Sophomore service scholar Maya Planter said, "I think I am more well-rounded and prepared for the real world because of this inclusive program." The sophomore also explained how the program has helped her redefine her goals for the future, as well as create an awareness of her environment.
The freshmen service scholars are offered the convenience of residing in the service scholarship living-learning housing. They are all placed in a certain section of the residence halls to establish bonds with students who have similar service interests in order to expand upon their Stevenson experience.
More than half of the service scholars participate in "Mission: I'm Home" and other service projects offered at or through Stevenson. All of the active service scholars are also eligible for the President of the United States' Volunteer Service Award.
For incoming students, the application requires submitting a separate specialty scholarship form and a GPA of 3.0 or higher. To learn more about the Service Scholarship program, click here.

Three Lions Promotions is proud to announce the addition of undefeated New Brunswick middleweight Brandon "L-Jack" Brewer (22-0-1, 11KOs) to its "All or Nothing" boxing show at Centre 200 in Sydney, Nova Scotia, on May 18.
It will be Brewer's first bout since taking some time away from the sport to grow his real estate business in 2017. He is a former NABA and CPBC national titlist, with big international wins over Anderson Clayton (41-13-2, 35KOs) of Brazil and King Davidson (20-3-0, 13KOs) of Australia. It will be Brewer's first appearance in a Cape Breton ring.
"I took some time away from the ring because I needed to reset myself physically, mentally, and spiritually," Brewer said on Saturday. "In that time I did as every professional athlete should do and secured a future for myself. I got my Realtors license and started a real estate team.

Brewer won the CPBC national super welterweight title in 2014 with a wide unanimous decision win over Paul Bzdel (6-9-1) of Saskatchewan. The following year, "L-Jack" won the NABA version of the title with a unanimous decision victory of Junmar Emon (6-4-0, 2KOs) of Toronto in the latter's backyard. Prior to stepping away in 2017, Brewer was battling his way through international prospects and veterans, inching his way ever closer to world title contention.
"All or Nothing" features the return of Sydney River's own Ryan Rozicki (9-0-0, 9KOs) defending his NABA Canadian cruiserweight championship in a ten round clash with Shawn Miller (19-4-1, 7KOs) of Troy, New York.

A solidarity vigil will take place at Worthing Mosque this Friday following the tragedy in New Zealand last week.
Fifty people were killed after a gunman opened fire at two mosques in Christchurch on Friday.
Residents will gather at the mosque in Ivy Arch Road, Worthing, at 11.45am this Friday, ahead of Friday prayers, in a show of solidarity with the Muslim community.
The event has been organised by the Worthing Stand up to Racism group, who said the vigil would give a 'clear message' that there were people in Worthing prepared to stand up to racism and Islamophobia.
Members of the local Labour constituency parties will also be in attendance.
Councillor Jim Deen, deputy leader of the Labour Group on Worthing Borough Council, said the Worthing West Labour Party has sent a message of sympathy to the mosque.
He said: "Our members have been keen to offer their unconditional solidarity and support to the 1500 Muslims in the Worthing area served by the Worthing Masjid and to convey their total condemnation of the bigotry that provides the fuel for the kind of hatred and violence seen at its worst in Christchurch.
Following the tragedy last week, police in Sussex moved to reassure residents.
Chief Superintendent Neil Honnor, head of the Surrey and Sussex Police Joint Operations Command, said on Friday: "Today we are stepping up reassurance patrols around mosques and increasing engagement with communities of all faiths, giving advice on how people and places can protect themselves.

Captain Tom Moore watches in delight as Spitfire and Hurricane from RAF Coningsby complete flypast over his home for 100th birthday
He's inspired the nation
Paul WhitelamSenior reporter
Two historic aircraft from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight have performed a special flypast over Captain Tom Moore's home to mark his 100th birthday.
A Spitfire and Hurricane from RAF Coningsby made three passes over Colonel Tom's Bedfordshire home in three different formations at about 8.20am on Thursday, April 30.
He has been appointed as an honorary colonel of the Army Foundation College in order to inspire the next generation of soldiers.
The Second World War veteran had initially aimed to raise £1,000 by walking around his garden 100 times before his 100th birthday.
But Colonel Tom - informally known as Captain Tom by millions - has become a national inspiration amid the lockdown after raising more than £30m.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast on his 100th birthday, Colonel Tom Moore said: "It hardly feels any different to yesterday.
"I don't know what you're meant to feel like when you get to 100.
"I've never been 100 before, so I really can't tell you what difference there is from yesterday, today or maybe tomorrow."
He said he is "absolutely delighted" with all the birthday wishes he has received, adding: "It really is absolutely awesome the amount of people who've been so kind to make those remarks. Thank you all very much."

He added: "I'm one of the few people here who has seen Hurricanes and Spitfires fly past in anger. Thankfully today they are all flying peacefully."
In a message to supporters on his 100th birthday, Colonel Tom said: "Reaching 100 is quite something. Reaching 100 with such interest in me and huge generosity from the public is very overwhelming.
"People keep saying what I have done is remarkable. However, it's actually what you have done for me which is remarkable.
"I felt a little frustrated and disappointed after I broke my hip and it knocked my confidence. However, the past three weeks have put a spring back in my step. I have renewed purpose and have thoroughly enjoyed every second of this exciting adventure, but I can't keep walking forever."
He continued: "The donations page will close at midnight this evening. NHS Charities Together still have their urgent appeal, so people can donate to them that way.
"I am going to spend my birthday with my family, both here in person and with my daughter remotely, and then I am going to have a few days' rest. My legs may be tired, but my mind is racing and I'm hoping to be back very soon with other ways in which I can help people, help others.

"Please always remember, 'Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day'. With my sincerest gratitude, Captain Tom Moore."
Colonel Moore, a retired managing director, was born in Keighley, West Yorkshire, and served in the regiment in Burma before moving to the 9th Battalion in India.

The Greater Catholic League South Division basketball teams upped their combined record to 6-0 in the postseason after Elder and La Salle recorded second-round victories in sectional tournament play Tuesday night. The outcome of the Elder versus Mason game literally came down to the final seconds, when Panthers' sophomore guard Willard Cluxton notched his fourth and final assist by finding junior Jake O'Brien, who converted a layup for the go-ahead basket with 1.5 seconds remaining and gave Elder a 60-58 victory against Mason in a Cincinnati Division I sectional game at Fairfield High School.
Elder advances to meet Winton Woods in a district semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Fairfield. Winton Woods advanced with a 61-49 win over Walnut Hills.
While not needing the final seconds like its GCL South counterpart did in the first game, La Salle did need a big second half to emerge with a 67-57 win over Hamilton Tuesday night at Fairfield. La Salle, which has now won five straight games, advances to meet Lakota East in a district semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Hamilton. East advanced with a 56-29 win over Milford last night at Hamilton.
La Salle senior forward Riley Haubner, the GCL South leading scorer, had another big night for the Lancers – finishing with 27 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Haubner went 14-of-16 from the free-throw line. He was joined in double figures by senior forward Henry Louden, who had 10 points, five rebounds and five assists. Kobyn Lambert and Nathan Vogelpohl came off the La Salle bench to score 10 points each, going a combined 8-of-12 from the field. La Salle trailed by one point at halftime, but outscored the Big Blue, 19-14, in the third quarter and then 21-15 in the final eight minutes. La Salle shot 54.8 percent from the field, hitting 23-of-42 field goals.
Moeller and St. Xavier, the remaining two GCL South teams, are back in action tonight. Moeller (20-3), the sectional's No. 1 seed, meets Talawanda at 7:30 p.m. at Hamilton. The Crusaders are a perfect 13-0 this calendar year. St. Xavier (16-7) plays Wilmington at 7:30 tonight at Lakota West. If Moeller and St. Xavier are victorious, all four GCL South teams will advance to sectional finals.


Events will be added with links and event schedules as they become available.
Where a bus is available it'll depart from the bus stop outside Redwell Leisure Centre. There is plenty of free parking available at the centre.

That's what she said (TWSS) has always been good to me. It produces a lot of laughs even when we shouldn't be laughing. Toilet humor is what my life has come to now as the ticket to fast laughs and good times. Well, that and liquor.
If you can find a way to work it in a public setting you will get a laugh if you can deliver it well… but you had better be sure because you don't want to go down with the TWSS ship. You need to use caution, I mean, it's the last thing I want my boys to say, because, they are young and… really, I shouldn't have to explain this. Use discretion.
What's weird is when you get a chick contributing… but girls usually know how to make this particular joke funnier. Even more fun is a TWSS that is completely off and would never work, this can escalate into euphoric laughter… and isn't that what its all about anyway. I mean who doesn't like a good delivery? Thats What She Said!!


The winter windy season is coming to an end in southern Baja. It's Easter weekend and the population of the village has more than doubled the past few days, and it's not because of an influx of wind enthusiasts. In Mexico it's a tradition to pack up the family and head for the beach during Semana Santa. The campground was nearly empty of kiters and windsurfers on Thursday, but was packed to capacity by Friday afternoon. Last night we could see campfires on the beach from La Ventana to the lighthouse 9 miles to the east…the party is on.
It was a fun packed season both on and off the water. Late summer and early fall brought some badly needed rain and storms to the southern half of the Baja peninsula. The Baja water supply is dependent on the rainy season and in dry years the plants, animals, and people can suffer. On the drive down in mid October, the mountains and deserts of southern Baja were beautiful, lush and green. There have been seasons here where a shower is the only rain we'll have in 6 months, but this year Nature blessed the region with much needed water.
The winds were a little slow in developing in the fall, but fortunately I had brought down a 5.3 and 5.7 Panther Elite for demos, and everyone quickly found the lightweight and power of the new 4 batten sail to be very sweet in light winds. From October to mid November the majority of days had light winds. The typical Norte pattern didn't really get going until December. It seemed that the forecasts of strong winds seldom turned into reality on the water. For whatever reason the typical north wind patterns were inconsistent through much of the season, and a strong sub-tropical jet stream brought untypical periods of overcast skies from Christmas through February. I think the overcast cut down on the afternoon thermals that usually give a boost to our wind every afternoon. What's the old saying…you can't change the wind, but you can adjust your sails? I think most people found a combination of sail and board size that increased the fun factor; I found the solution was sailing my bigger board which let me sail in the up and down conditions, but still make it home if the wind dropped.
The 2013 Panther Elite and Tiger are the sails I brought down for people to demo. The new 4 batten Elite was released just before we left the Gorge in the fall, and the 5 battenTiger continues for 2013 with a new panel layout and calibrated down haul system. Interest in David's newest 4 batten design was pretty intense, and was the "talk of the beach". Personally I love the new sail's light and balanced feel with no loss of power or range. I think that sailors who thought that a 4 batten sail would be a radical change from how Ezzy wave sails have performed in the past, were surprised and instantly won over by the Elite. I'll be demoing the Elite and Tiger this summer in the Gorge, plus the new Legend.
Southern Baja and La Ventana in particular is a wonderful place to sail and share the windsurfing lifestyle. It's amazing how many people find a way to spend the winter sailing and enjoying this special place. And it's not just sailors who have retired early or decided to "sail now and work later"…no one seems to care what your title was or what you did in you pre-windsurfing life. Sailors are here for one reason; to share their passion and love for windsurfing with other windsurfers.
A great example of sharing the passion was in February when two brothers spent a week here learning and working on the basic skills that are the passports to high wind sailing. From Eric nailing his water starts, to Pat getting comfortable in the straps and harness…the cheers of encouragement coming from other sailors with each successful step, let them know they weren't alone in their struggles. Watching the young sailors reminded us how challenging and rewarding learning to windsurf can be. Pat said it best, "of all the sports/activities that I've been involved in; I've never experienced such thrilling rewards from learning each next step. It just keeps you coming back for more".
Pat and Eric…the smiles never stopped.
The La Ventana campground is the central gathering place for wind enthusiasts coming to the area from October to March. I would estimate that there are several hundred people during the peak of the season this prime piece of real estate on the Sea of Cortez. Los Barriles, 35 miles south is the other major gathering place in southern Baja during the winter months.
Pat with feet in the straps and on a plane…he'll never forget this day.
The La Ventana/El Sargento area has experienced a major boom in development over the past 12 years we've been coming here. Our first winter here in 2001 the villages were just beginning to welcome winter visitors. Baja Joe's was the only established resort and there were only a couple restaurants and taco stands. A handful of American & Canadians had purchased property and/or built a home. There were only two public telephones and no Internet or cell coverage.
What a difference a decade can make. I would estimate that several hundred homes have been built by people who have decided to make La Ventana part of their lives. We even have cell phone coverage and DSL in the villages.
Meet me in the Gorge this summer and I'll get you out on the new Panther Elite.

Last Night at the Telegraph Club Summary and Reviews

Critics' Opinion:
Readers' rating:
Publishes in USA
Acclaimed author of Ash Malinda Lo returns with her most personal and ambitious novel yet, a gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the 1950s.
"That book. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other." And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: "Have you ever heard of such a thing?"
Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club.
America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father--despite his hard-won citizenship--Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.

States of Emergency Declared in 4 States and DC as Storm Death Toll Rises
District of Columbia, Maryland, Ohio and the two Virginias declare States of Emergency amid rising storms toll
Deadly storms across Eastern U.S. have claimed at least 13 lives and left many injured, hundreds homeless and about 6 million utility customers, or an estimated 20 million people, without power amid sweltering heat wave.
Widespread damage and power losses have been reported across a vast region ravaged by deadly storms since Friday.
The storms have left a trail of destruction from Indiana to New Jersey, with the worst-hit areas being in Washington Metropolitan area, Maryland, West Virginia, and suburban Virginia.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell called the widespread power losses as "the largest non-hurricane power outage in Virginia history," as more storms threatened. "This is a very dangerous situation," the governor said, "the next few days in Virginia are going to be very, very difficult."
The deadly storms claimed at least 6 lives across Virginia (pop: ~ 8.1 million), and left about 2.5 million customers, or an estimated 7.5 million people, without power. [Includes about 120,000 customers in Richmond area and 680,000 in northern Virginia.]
More than 3.5 million homes and businesses supplied by Dominion Virginia Power in Indiana, Ohio and Virginia have been affected.
In Ohio, excessive heat, widespread power losses and utility damages prompted Gov. Kasich to declare a state of emergency. As of Saturday morning, about 1 million homes and businesses, or an estimated total of 3 million people, still faced power outages.
"I'm very concerned with the problems created by the combination of power outages and severe heat, and so I've declared an emergency for all of Ohio so that state resources and personnel can help local governments meet the needs and challenges that they face." Kasich said.
The Disaster President [Barrack Obama] has since declared Ohio a Federal Disaster Area.
In Maryland, at least 800 people were left homeless after storms tore off the roofs of two apartment buildings in Riverdale Park, said Mayor Vernon Archer.
Governor O'Malley declared a State of Emergency following the devastation.
About 1 million utility customers in Maryland, an estimated 3 million people, were still without power early Saturday morning, "similar to the number that lost power in 2003 when Tropical Storm Isabel hit the state," said a report.
Across West Virginia (pop: ~1.9 million), where Gov. Earl Ray had already declared a state of emergency, some 700,000 customers, or an estimated 1.7 million people, were without power in 53 of the state's 55 counties.
"Those winds were so strong and over such a wide area," the governor told reporters. "It's going to take several days to get power back on."
The Disaster President declared West Virginia a Federal Disaster Area on Saturday.
In Washington, the utility company Pepco reported more than 440,000 outages in the Capital.
In Indiana, at least 135,000 customers, or an estimated half a million people, lost power.
Atlantic County, New Jersey, declared a state of emergency due to the violent storms which left more than 200,000 customers, or an estimated 750,000 people, without power.
In Salem County NJ, officials declared a state of emergency after storms left at least 2 people dead, causing widespread damage and cutting power to at least 10,000 homes and businesses.
The Mayor of Vineland (Pop: 65,000), a city in Cumberland County, New Jersey, also declared a disaster emergency.
Pennsylvania: about 40,000 customers lost power.
Kentucky and North Carolina: at least 2,500 homes and businesses lost power.
Illinois: Commonwealth Edison power utility reported more than 210,000 outages.
FirstEnergy, AEP Ohio and BGE (Maryland) had reported a total of about 1.6 million power outages.

Dangerous heat is forecast to continue throughout the South. Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories remain in effect in parts of more than 2 dozen states across the southeast and lower half of the Mississippi Valley with triple-digit temperatures forecast across the southern third of the U.S., said NWS.
About 150 all-time high temperature records have been broken in recent days.
Millions of people have been urged to seek out shelter amid triple-digit heat and large-scale power outages.

A Standards-based Curriculum for Clay Science
Audrey C. Rule, State University of New York at Oswego
Stephen Guggenheim, University of Illinois at Chicago
Show Abstract
A prekindergarten to 12th grade curriculum for clay science is presented based on the Benchmarks for science literacy and the National science education standards. These clay concepts support learning in chemistry, physical science, and Earth science and are divided into concepts and activities for early childhood, elementary, middle school, and high school students. Two studies addressing facets of the curriculum show the utility of the proposed clay concepts and suggested lessons. More work is needed to define specific ideas students may have about clay in the rock cycle, clay's role in everyday products, what clay scientists do, and to test the efficacy of the entire curriculum.

Developing Preschoolers' Science Vocabulary Through Clay Explorations
Carolyn A. House, First Step Universal Preschool
The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement in descriptive vocabulary of preschool children as a result of lessons that focused on the physical properties of clay. During a six-lesson art-science unit, four and five year old children used familiar artificial clay, unfamiliar modeling clay, mud, and natural potter's clay to experiment with different techniques and to make a pinch pot, which they subsequently glazed and had fired. Throughout the lessons, descriptive vocabulary was repeatedly modeled and reinforced. Two pretest-posttest instruments were administered. Students improved in demonstrating targeted vocabulary words (e.g. pinch, bend, coil, flat) with a mean of 50% of the students demonstrating each of the sixteen words correctly on the pretest compared to 81% on the posttest. Students were also assessed on vocabulary used as they verbally described wet and dry natural clay samples and unglazed and glazed ceramic pieces. Again, students showed a significant increase in speaking vocabulary. However, passive and observational tasks, requiring little or no use of language and vocabulary, revealed minimal acquisition of targeted vocabulary.
Using Trade Books to Teach about Clay Minerals
Sharon Kane, State University of New York at Oswego
Research shows that content area knowledge and attitudes toward academic subjects can be enhanced when teachers use trade books in their classrooms. This article reports on an analysis of children's books relating to the topic of clay minerals. Various genres, including biography, fiction, informational books, how-to books, and picture books, are represented. The literary works described represent a wide range in terms of text difficulty and sophistication of concepts, offering opportunities for differentiated instruction. Teachers can teach scientific concepts and facts related to clay through stories, whether fictional or biographical. They can use books providing directions for hands-on activities to involve students in curricular projects with the goal of increased academic achievement. The text, illustrations, and photographs in trade books can motivate students to learn about clay minerals and provide resources for continued investigation.
Seventh Grade Students Learn about the Use of Clays in Everyday Products
Mark E. Dubey, Clary Middle School, Syracuse City Schools
Audrey C. Ruls, State University of New York at Oswego
Clay minerals are widespread at the Earth's surface, compose a large percentage of sedimentary rocks, and are important components of many common products including brick and tile, tableware, sanitaryware, paper, paints, plastics, rubber, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Knowledge of the role of clay industrial products supports attainment of science knowledge goals in middle school (Rule and Guggenheim, 2007). This simple pretest-intervention posttest study presents effective examples of clay science activities for middle school students that highlight the multiple uses of clay minerals in common products and support learning of other geoscience concepts such as crystal structure and resulting physical properties of materials. A class of twenty-one students at an urban middle school in central New York State participated in the study. Student scores on the pretest averaged 52% correct compared to 83% correct on the posttest taken seven weeks later, indicating the efficacy of the activities in teaching clay science concepts. A written survey three weeks after lessons had concluded showed students learned much about clay properties and clay use in everyday objects along with enjoying group work and the hands-on materials with clues.
Project Based Learning Approach to Shale Diagenesis: A Better Avenue to the Big Picture
Iris M. Totten, Kansas State University
Matthew W. Totten, Sr., Kansas State University
This article describes an experimental six-month study that was created to introduce first semester graduate students to geological research in fine-grained rocks. The study was conducted within a graduate-level Clastic Diagenesis course where students examined the mineralogical and chemical variability in shale samples that crop out in regions of different thermal maturity along the Ouachita Mountain Fold Belt. A project-based instructional (PBL) approach was used with a driving question of "what happens to shales during burial diagenesis?" This approach was intended to give students an opportunity early in their graduate studies to participate in authentic geologic research. Each sample was analyzed for the clay-mineralogy using XRD, whole-rock chemistry using XRF, mineralogy of heavy separates, character of the silt-sized quartz and feldspar, and grain size of the non-clay fraction. Qualitative data analyses from student interview transcriptions revealed that based on their experience with the Ouachita project students were able to approach their own thesis topics, regardless of the subject area with a more holistic and experienced scientific perspective. The depth and quality of the research questions they asked in their own subsequent research was influenced by their exposure to the clastic diagenesis problem-based project. Developing competency in the analyses techniques was not the goal of this project but rather developing an overarching understanding of the process used when studying the diagenesis of fine-grained rocks. Evidence that this was achieved is demonstrated in the student's final presentation of the Clastic Diagenesis project at a regional geologic meeting.

Preservice Elementary Teachers' Ideas about Clays
Clays are important industrial materials used for many purposes because of their plasticity and other unique properties. Clay science concepts can be used to effectively support learning of foundational science principles in elementary grades. Because preparation to teach science affects the quality of a teacher's instruction, this study examined preservice elementary teachers' ideas about clays before and after lessons on clay science that incorporated instructional approaches supported by the literature. These teaching methods included viewing a slide show of clay mineral structures and scanning electron photographs of clay minerals, along with explanations of the origin of clay minerals and their properties; matching clay products to cards that described the properties of clays employed by the products; and playing a game in which participants identified clay products in different rooms of a house. Before instruction, most participants were familiar only with ceramics as clay products, with less than half aware that clays were naturally occurring materials. Pre-instructional concepts of the geologic origin of clay were similar for preservice teachers who "guessed" or "reasoned" answers compared to those who said they had learned the information previously. Participants exhibited significant gains in knowledge of clay properties for use in various products from pretest to posttest.
Preservice Elementary Teachers' Images of Clay Scientists
Berislava Cavanaugh, State University of New York at Oswego
Valerie Waloven, State University of New York at Oswego
The Draw-A-Scientist test, a popular projective test in use for decades, reveals the drawer's attitudes toward science. This study examined and compared images of "scientists" and "clay scientists" drawn by 87 preservice elementary teachers before and after participating in instruction about the origin of clay minerals and their uses in everyday products. Images of "scientists" shifted from stereotyped white male chemists in lab coats to an increase in persons of color and females engaged in outdoor science. "Clay scientist" images shifted from white males working indoors or outdoors with clay or ceramics to include more females, more everyday clothing, and a broader range of clay products. The effective clay science instruction included pre-instructional assessment of student ideas, small group discussions, structuring of activities, hands-on concrete materials, visuals, and connections to real life.
Engaging First Grade Students in a Geoscience Campus
Jennifer Saltzman, Stanford University
Adina Paytan, Stanford University
We present a geology field trip for first grade students, which includes four hands-on, age-appropriate activities on rocks, minerals, soil and fossils. The content of this program called Geokids adheres to the California educational standards and fits the physical sciences unit on sand, silt and clay for first grade. Over 600 students from eleven schools participate yearly in Geokids which is taught by university graduate and undergraduate student volunteers. The feedback from both university instructors and first grade teachers has been very positive and we are in the process of expanding our audience to include schools in lower income areas.

Wood-boring beetle and their larvae, also known as woodworm, live and lay their eggs inside house woodwork. They feed on wood material, boring holes which cause not only cosmetic but structural damage as well.
INSPECTION: For a successful woodworm treatment, we start with a careful top-to-bottom property check. We determine the type of woodworm and the severity of the infestation in order to choose the most appropriate eradication method.
TREATMENT: Once the problem has been identified, your woodworm specialist will proceed with the proper treatment technique in order to destroy the infestation. This usually includes injecting the timber-based items in the property with a powerful repellent. Our solutions have a long-lasting residual effect and will protect your wooden materials from further problems.
PREVENTION: Treating woodworm isn't the end of our job. Once we remove the threat, your woodworm specialist will give you some valuable tips and pointers on how to protect your property from future infestations. If you've booked our insured service, we will be able to visit you another two times for the next three months - free of charge - this will ensure a complete eradication of the woodworm population.
Damage type and severity are highly dependable on the variety of wood and the woodworm species infesting it. Most of the times you can spot the signs of infestations such as holes, wood dust and even tiny beetles emerging. In other cases, the wood-boring insects tunnel through the centre part of the timber, causing more damage than it can appear from the outside - if untreated, woodworm can cause a great amount of destruction.
Powderpost Beetle - this common hardwood eater often causes immense harm to wooden structures because of its stealthy nature. This type of wood-boring beetle is more prone to leaving traces rather than appearing on the surface because their tunnelling and larvae development are usually located under the surface, hidden from the human eye.
Deathwatch Beetle - its name comes from the ticking sound that the beetle creates to attract mates. This species prefers very damp conditions such as wet rot in the timber, the presence of such leads to a rapid development of the population. As the powderpost beetle, this wood-boring species is quite hard to notice before it causes major destruction.
Longhorn Beetle - unlike other species, only the larvae of the house longhorn beetle is attracted and actively destroys wood. Moreover, this wood-boring beetle prefers only the sapwood of softwood timbers which is the wood most often used for the making of roofs. Luckily, this species is quite rare in the UK and it's tunnels and holes are significantly larger, making it easier to spot an infestation.
Furniture Beetle - it is the most common type of woodworm beetle and it prefers softwood timber. The larvae of this species prefer plywood over anything else but rarely causes any major structural damage.
Q. What are the signs of woodworm infestations?
A. There are several ways to know if your home has been infested with these wood destroying creatures. One of them is the distinct scratching sound they make when boring into the wood or looking for a mate. Another sign are the tiny holes they leave when exiting to the wood's surface -- around 2mm in diameter and surrounded with a fine dust powder.
Q. How to get rid of woodworm?
A. Although they are many products available on the market, it's best to leave this one to professionals. The products that pest control companies use to get rid of woodworm have a long-lasting residual effect that will protect the timber for long -- something that store purchased chemicals won't do.
Q. How do we treat woodworm?
Q. What is the cost of woodworm treatment?
A. The cost of treating woodworm in London varies and depends on the size the property and the type of treatment we implement. Check our prices in order to get a general idea but bear in mind that the cost may vary. You will receive an exact quote once you contact us and we calculate your individual offer.

An anonymous letter about a 10-year-old Chilliwack girl who went missing more than 28 years ago has generated some public tips and calls - but the author of the letter has not come forward yet.
Sep. 15, 2011 12:00 p.m.
An anonymous letter about a 10-year-old Chilliwack girl who went missing more than 28 years ago has generated some public tips and calls – but the author of the letter has not come forward yet.
"We're still gathering some tips and we're following up on them," RCMP Sgt. Graham de la Gorgendiere said Wednesday.
Jo-Anne Pedersen was a friendly, outgoing, 10-year-old when she simply vanished one night while waiting outside a convenience store in Vedder Crossing for a ride home.
But Chilliwack RCMP refuse to give up on the case, believing that somewhere out there somebody knows something that could solve the mystery and end a mother's grief.
A tall white man with "messy or wavy-style" hair was the last person seen talking to Jo-Anne at the phone booth where she made the call home at about 8:20 p.m. on Feb. 19, 1983.
Suspicion initially fell on this man, but police investigators came to believe the man was actually trying to help the little girl.
So, three years ago, the RCMP prepared a re-enactment of the disappearance, hoping the mystery man would come forward with information that would lead to Jo-Anne's whereabouts.
But nothing came of that effort, despite the pleas of Pedersen's grieving mother Angela.
"I have suffered so much through the years," she said in a statement video-taped at the time.
Now a letter has come to the Chilliwack RCMP, hand-written and unsigned, but with "significant" information that leads police to believe it's not a hoax and the author may know more.
"That's why we're pleading … for this person to come forward," Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.
Pedersen was walking home with her sister and cousin when they got into an argument, and the older girls ran home ahead of her.
Finding the door locked when she got home, Pedersen went to the nearby Penny Pincher store at Watson Road and Vedder Road to call her mother.
The store clerk let Pedersen use the store phone, but she didn't know the telephone number where her mother was, so she went outside to call the operator on a pay phone.
She talked to her stepfather, but when he and her mother arrived at the Penny Pincher about half an hour later, Jo-Anne was nowhere to be seen.
Anyone with information about the investigation or the letter is asked to call Const. Justine Hayward at the Chilliwack RCMP's serious crime unit at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Q: PHP - inverse of dependency with templates? Usually I do require lib.php in templates, where I refer to the file with implemented functions:
lib.php :
function output(){
 echo "test";
}

and     template.php:

    head
    {?php
    require lib.php;
    output();
    ?>
    ...

Now I would like to have two different files lib1.php and lib2.php with two differenet implementations of output().
From lib1.php lib2.php I would like to refer the template.php, and inject the apropriate implementation of output.php. Is that possible?

A: Why don't you use OOP functionality?
Lib1.php
class Lib1 {

   public function output()
   {
      return 'Library 1!';
   }

}

Lib2.php
class Lib2 {

   public function output()
   {
      return 'Library 2!';
   }

}

In your other PHP files:
$lib1 = new Lib1();
echo $lib1->output();

$lib2 = new Lib2();
echo $lib2->output();

A: It's time for OOP (object oriented programming). This is a perfect situation for a class with extensions. Otherwise a big question. Look here if you're interested.

HomeArts/Entertainment…And Scene! A Farewell to the Drama Season
…And Scene! A Farewell to the Drama Season
Arts/Entertainment, Showcase
By: Lucy Terry | News Editor
As the end of the school year approaches, we've had to say goodbye to our favorite activities at San Clemente High School, including spirit assemblies, sports games, and, most importantly, the drama programs. The drama department put on a exceptional display of entertainment, talent, and fun this year, and they continued to achieve on a level that set these thespians and our program above the rest. This year, the drama department performed Boeing-Boeing, Mamma Mia!, and The Wedding Singer.
In September, the department presented the Wedding Singer, a story about a wedding singer named Robbie Hart who gets his heart broken and falls in love with a bride-to-be named Julia. Later on in December, they performed Boeing-Boeing, which is a witty play about a man and his three mistresses, who are all air stewardesses and have no knowledge of the other women. Most recently in the spring, the cast put on Mamma Mia!, a famous ABBA musical movie, which focuses on the story of a young bride, Sophie, as she tries to figure out who her real father is and grapples with the reality of her dreams.
Brianna Blashill, a senior at SCHS, attests that Mamma Mia! was her favorite play. "Working on Mamma Mia! was really fun!" Blashill said. "I got to spend time with all of my close friends one last time and got to make some new ones in the process."
Not only were these plays hits among the student body and the San Clemente community, but they also resonated in the Spirit of the MACY Awards. The Music and Arts Commendation for Youth organization (MACY) was founded in 1969 to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of musical theater high school programs. At the end of every school year, MACY holds the Spirit of the MACY Awards, in which hundreds of students from 44 local high schools are given awards for their achievements in musical theater. Many of our very own SCHS students were granted prestigious awards, such as Lainey Reyland taking home an Individual Best Award for her role as Rosie in Mamma Mia!. Reyland wasn't the only one with an award either; many of the cast members from The Wedding Singer and Mamma Mia! alike were given accolades for their performances.
Although there are no more plays to perform and the MACY Awards took place on April 29, the award season is not quite over for San Clemente High School Students. Similarly to the Spirit of the MACY Awards, the Cappies, which take place June 2, are dedicated to recognizing outstanding student performers and technicians from the various plays throughout the year. The Cappies allows for students to attend plays at different schools and write reviews on them with the chance of being published in the Orange County Register. At the end of the year, student critics vote on who they believe should be nominated, and nominees get the chance to win awards and perform excerpts of their show at the ceremony. Countless students in the SCHS drama program have been nominated for awards, demonstrating the excellence they have brought to both the program and the school.
Senior and long time member in the drama program, Carlie McCleary, is immensely proud of her castmates. "I'm so proud of all my cast and crew mates who've worked so hard to reach these levels of success that they've achieved," McCleary said. "We don't do drama for the recognition, but it always feels good to see our teamwork and camaraderie pay off."
With graduation nearing, there may be no more plays to put on, but this isn't the end of the musical theater career for many in the drama program. Many will choose to participate in recreational or community theatre programs, or perhaps focus on it more intensively in college. Reyland is pursuing musical theatre at University of Northern Colorado, while McCleary has plans to study musical theatre at Stanford in the fall. "I'm so excited! I can't wait to develop as an actress while still going to school and growing as a human," McCleary said. "The arts at Stanford are so valued, and I love that I get to grow alongside the new programs that I get to be apart of." No matter what becomes of this crew after graduation, it is certain that their love for musical theatre, as well as each other, will never fade and that their memories of their time together at SCHS will keep their bond alive.
