Melbourne, FL – November 2012… With this year's presidential election rapidly approaching, both President Obama and his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, are making numerous campaign stops to bolster voter support—particularly in the critically important 'swing' states such as Florida. Given the mercurial nature of politics, these visits are often last-minute decisions. For Sanford, FL-based MTI Sound, the campaign stops have led to numerous live sound reinforcement projects. The ability to get and out in short order is critical to the success of these affairs and a big part of that success has been the ease of working with his sound system, which utilizes components drawn from the catalog of Valencia, Spain-based D.A.S. Audio.
Scott Shryock, President of the full service sound, lighting, staging, video production, and installation company MTI Sound, has specified a combination of D.A.S. Audio Aero 12A powered two-way, mid-high line array modules, LX-218CA powered subwoofers, and Road 12A powered stage monitors for these projects. He discussed the nature of the jobs and how the D.A.S. equipment helps him meet the expectations of his clients.
"We frequently get the call for these campaign stops at the last minute," Shryock explained, "so the ability to move the equipment as well as set it up and break it down quickly is critical. All our D.A.S. equipment is self-powered, which simplifies cabling and goes a long way toward making an efficient setup. Equally important, the Aero 12A's rigging hardware is all self-contained, so this, too, makes truck pack easier and simplifies the process of flying the loudspeakers. We've done several of these events recently and I fully expect we'll do several more before Election Day."
For a recent visit by President Obama in Melbourne, FL, the MTI Sound crew deployed sixteen D.A.S. Audio Aero 12A's, four LX-218CA subwoofers, and a dozen Road 12A stage monitors. "We flew five Aero 12A's on each side of the stage for the left-right mains," Shryock said. "These were augmented by left-right delay stacks—each consisting of three Aero 12A's and two LX-218CA's. The delay stacks were positioned roughly 100 feet out in front of the house mains. Our Road series monitors served multiple purposes. President Obama had one by his side as his stage monitor and the rest were used for fill purposes in order to maintain a low visual profile. Two Road 12A's were used for front fills while the rest were deployed in the bleacher areas to the sides and behind the President."
"We've used this basic setup for all the campaign stops," Shryock added. "Depending upon whether these are outdoor or indoor events (where crowd control limitations are considerably more restrictive), we've been seeing crowds ranging in size anywhere from approximately 3,000 to 12,000 people. "To ensure optimized positioning and angling of the loudspeakers, I model the setup using EASE Focus loudspeaker aiming and acoustic modeling software. The results have been very impressive. The Aero 12A's have really good horizontal dispersion with solid vertical throw and, best of all; they're very easy to aim. The system has been providing consistent coverage throughout all audience areas and both speech intelligibility and music reproduction has been first-rate."
The D.A.S. loudspeakers have an additional feature that Shryock is very enthusiastic about, "Here in Florida, we frequently say, 'If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.' It can change from sunshine to rain and back almost that fast. I love the protective flap that resides over the connections and power module at the rear of the D.A.S. enclosures. We were caught in some heavy rains twice recently, but with those covers, the gear was protected and we encountered no difficulties keeping everything operational."
Before shifting his focus back to some forthcoming engagements, Shryock offered these final comments. "Our D.A.S. equipment has been exceptional," he said. "The sound quality is terrific, the gear is reliable, and the company's customer support services are excellent. At one of the recent Romney stops, Country music artist T.G. Shepard performed. Like our client, both he and his engineer were very impressed with the system's sound and performance. D.A.S. Audio's combination of sound quality, thoughtful features, and support services are the best possible. I never cease to be impressed with this equipment."

These days, it seems like all you have to do to get a reality show is own a pawn shop, be a taxidermist, cut hair, style celebrities, sell clothes, fix cars, restore cars, dig for gold, fish for crab or tuna, make duck calls, be moderately wealthy and over the top, or sell and/or rehab real estate properties. But now there's another way to get a basic cable crew to follow you around. Georgia-based personal injury attorney Jamie Casino—who made the insane commercial that aired in Savannah during the Super Bowl and went viral after—has nabbed a deal with Warner Horizon Television to produce Casino's Law, a new unscripted series starring the well-coiffed attorney.
Deadline reports that more than 40 companies were after Casino (a number probably provided by Casino), but that Casino's Law landed at Warner because of its attachment to Mike Fleiss, who created and executive produces The Bachelor. Fleiss will develop Casino's, though there's no concept for the show just yet. But who needs a concept when you've got a tough, no-nonsense attorney who walks through flames and wields a sledgehammer like a motherfucker?

On August 28, a federal district court in Tennessee dismissed two shareholders' claims in a derivative lawsuit against BlackRock's iShares Trust and iShares, Inc. (together, the Funds), Blackrock Fund Advisors (BFA), the Funds' investment adviser, Blackrock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (BRC), the Funds' securities lending agent, and the directors of the Funds. The plaintiffs, two pension funds invested in the Funds, brought the suit seeking relief under various sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), including Section 36(b), in connection with the Funds' securities lending transactions. Section 36(b) provides a right of action for excessive fund compensation to the investment adviser or any of its affiliates. The plaintiffs alleged that BFA and BTC received an excessive amount of compensation from securities lending revenue earned on the Funds' securities lending transactions.
Funds that engage in securities lending typically contract with a lending agent to facilitate lending transactions with borrowers. The lending agent usually receives compensation by retaining a portion of the revenue generated from the securities lending transactions. Under the Funds' securities lending agreement, BFA and BTC retained approximately 40 percent of the revenue created from the transactions, with the Funds receiving the remaining 60 percent. The plaintiffs argued that this compensation was grossly excessive and that more of the profit should have been returned to the Funds' shareholders. The original complaint cited a 2012 Finadium survey showing that a majority of mutual funds using a non-affiliated lending agent had retained 90 percent of revenue. The complaint also stated that the securities lending arrangement among Vanguard Group, Inc. and the Vanguard Funds allowed those funds to retain 100 percent of securities lending revenue after costs.
The Court dismissed all of the plaintiffs' claims, holding that the Section 36(b) claim was precluded by an exception within the statute. That exception, Section 36(b)(4), provides that transactions between entities that have obtained an exemptive order under Section 17 from the SEC are excepted from a Section 36(b) action. The Court pointed out that predecessors of BFA and BTC had received an exemptive order from the SEC under Section 17 of the 1940 Act permitting them to conduct the joint securities lending transactions among them and the Funds, and this exemption therefore removed the plaintiffs' securities lending claim from the scope of Section 36(b). The Court gave the plaintiffs until September 17, 2013, to either amend the complaint or ask for a deadline extension.

When I was little, I loved the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. One of my favorite stories was from Farmer Boy. Almanzo's parents went to visit family, leaving the kids at home by themselves. Their mother yelled "Don't eat all the sugar" over her shoulder as they drove away. As soon as the wagon was out of sight, Eliza Jane was dipping into the sugar and making ice cream, pound cake and candy. By the time their parents returned home, the sugar barrel was nearly empty. In my mind, it was an enormous barrel and they had had a great time baking (and eating) all week. I couldn't imagine a more enjoyable way to spend a few days.
My new favorite cookbook should help me reach the bottom of my own sugar jar. Sugar Rush by Johnny Iuzzini is full of gorgeous photos, tips and step by step instructions. I'll use my favorite ingredients - butter, sugar, flour, eggs, chocolate, cream - as I cook my way through this book.
First, I tried the Buttercream recipe, for the French Macarons my daughter and I brought to the Chicago Food Swap. Molly filled the chocolate-almond shells with Coffee Buttercream using the Sugar Rush recipe. This was an Italian Buttercream, which is made by pouring hot sugar syrup over whipped egg whites, then adding butter (five sticks of butter, to be exact) to create a light, silky filling. I made the Vanilla Buttercream, then flavored it with espresso powder to create a rich coffee frosting. It was delicious. The key ingredient was the espresso powder from The Spice House. The coffee flavor was pronounced and balanced out the sweetness in the chewy macaron shell.
Macarons and Italian Buttercream both use egg whites. I had about 18 left after making my contribution to the Food Swap. Lucky me: Sugar Rush has ice cream recipes that use lots of egg yolks. I can't wait to try them.

A PUB landlady is hoping a decision to shut a tourist centre will not hit trade.
Mrs Bev Earnshaw, who runs the Tunnel End Inn, in Marsden, with husband Gary, said British Waterways' decision to close the Standedge Visitor Centre for a winter revamp had been a shock.
"But we want to assure all our customers that we will continue opening as normal," she said.
The Earnshaws' Tunnel End pub is a stone's throw from the visitor centre, which is to undergo a big revamp by tourism chiefs.
Mrs Earnshaw said: "People see our pub name and think we are involved with the centre, which is not the case."

A senior Qatari official acknowledged on Thursday that cooperation with Israel is needed in order to improve the situation in Gaza.
"When you want to do work in Gaza, you have to go through the Israelis. Without the help of Israel, nothing happens," Mohammed Al-Emadi, the head of Qatar's Gaza reconstruction committee, told The Associated Press.
"This is part of our effort, working very closely with Israel, very closely with everyone in Gaza, to prevent any more escalation and war. We want peace in the region, and to help the people," he added.
Under a system set up after Israel's 2014 counterrorism Operation Protective Edge, reconstruction materials are delivered to Gaza through an Israeli-controlled border crossing. The Palestinian Authority coordinates the projects, Israeli security officials approve the entry of materials and the UN monitors the deliveries to make sure they are not diverted by militants.
Over the years, Al-Emadi said he has developed a cordial relationship with the Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai.
"You can say it's good," he told AP, stressing the motives were pragmatic. "To help the people of Gaza, this is our only target and aim," he said.
His comments on Israel are interesting, given that Qatar and Israel have no formal diplomatic relations.
In 2015, Qatar's Foreign Minister ruled out the possibility that his country would cooperate with Israel, accusing the Jewish state of "offending 1.5 billion Muslims" and of being provocative regarding the status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
He previously blasted Israeli "occupation" when discussing the crises in the Middle East, claiming that "the Middle East is suffering from the failures of the peace process due to the Israeli occupation" of Palestinian land.
Al-Emadi's comments on Thursday came as Qatar pledged $9 million for aid to Gaza on Thursday, days after UN Middle East envoy Nickolay Mladenov warned that the Hamas-controlled enclave is on the verge of "full collapse".
According to Mladenov, a key to saving Gaza from disaster was restoring the government of Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas to power there, a decade after it was forced out by Hamas in a bloody coup.
Abbas's Fatah and Hamas signed a reconciliation deal last October, under which the PA was to have resumed full control of Gaza by December 1.
That deadline was initially put back by 10 days and had later reportedly hit "obstacles".
Al-Emadi on Thursday urged the international community to send aid to the people of Gaza, saying the dire conditions in the territory could potentially spill over into renewed violence.

Incubator Hedge Fund Formation
Incubator funds provide investment managers and traders with a cost-effective stepping stone toward launching a full-fledged hedge fund. Our professionals developed the concept of the incubator hedge fund and we continue to innovate the structure, assisting our clients as they explore the limits of what incubator funds can do.
An incubator hedge fund offers a prospective hedge fund manager with the opportunity to develop a marketable track record for the fund that can be used to solicit investors. The incubator phase also allows a prospective hedge fund manager to make key operational and business decisions and to determine investor appetite prior to incurring the additional costs to start a hedge fund suitable for outside investors.
Incubator funds can be used to develop a track record across virtually any asset class. With a few months of attractive, actual results in the incubator fund's account, from trading in the fund's actual strategy, prospective hedge fund managers will generally have a more persuasive pitch to potential investors than with only hypothetical results or results from a personal trading account.
During the typically 3 to 12 month incubator phase, the prospective manager has the time to:
- Study and take any necessary examinations
- Obtain necessary regulatory registrations and determine available exemptions
- Develop a "tear sheet" and other introductory marketing collateral
- Make key decisions regarding fund structure and terms, team composition, and service partners
- Establish operational systems and implement the strategy "live"
- Determine marketing objectives and build a website for the management company
- Reach out to early-stage investors, negotiate investment terms, and obtain non-binding indications of interest from investors
We offer the most comprehensive incubator fund formation services available. Our professional staff handles all of the logistics and is available as a resource throughout the process. We can typically establish an incubator hedge fund within two weeks from the date that we are engaged. Our pricing is extremely competitive, although fees do depend on the number of participants and the fund's structure (onshore, offshore, etc.). If your goal is to start a hedge fund, we will apply our fees for developing the incubator fund toward our fees to convert the incubator fund into a full-fledged hedge fund.
We provide the following services in connection with the formation and operation of incubator funds:
- Research the availability of names and establish the entities that will serve as the incubator fund and management company
- Prepare a limited partnership agreement or operating agreement that will set forth each investor's capital contribution. This agreement will provide the mechanisms for allocating net profits and losses (including items for tax purposes) to investors' capital accounts and for distributing net profits
- Advise regarding state law issues and required registrations to launch a full-fledged hedge fund (i.e., whether investment advisor or CPO registration is required, ability to charge performance fees, etc.)
- Prepare a disclaimer for the presentation of the fund's track record
- Advise on marketing the fund to prospective investors in a manner that will comply with the private offering exemption under Regulation D
- Advise regarding the fund's structure (fee structure, liquidity, hurdle rates, domestic versus offshore, etc.) so that indications of interest can be obtained from initial prospective investors prior to the actual preparation of the fund's offering documents and full costs to start a hedge fund are incurred
- Assist in developing and negotiating service provider relationships when you begin the process to transition the fund to a "full-fledged" fund
- Provide ongoing support and consultation throughout the incubator phase
- Accommodate the need for cost-effective performance verification services through introductions to cost-effective providers

The letter to Ephesus opens with encouragement. Even when I mess things up big time I can take comfort in knowing God chose me before the beginning of the world.
He knew me before I was. He knew me and still He chose me. Not because of anything I had or could possibly do, but because of His great grace.
3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Anointed One, who grants us every spiritual blessing in these heavenly realms where we live in the Anointed--not because of anything we have done, but because of what He has done for us. 4 God chose us to be in a relationship with Him even before He laid out plans for this world; He wanted us to live holy lives characterized by love, free from sin, and blameless before Him.
Ephesians 1:3-4 VOICE
And it just keeps getting better! God loved me so much before I ever was that He already had a plan to keep me holy and blameless in His sight.
Before, before, before. God chose and loved and blessed and made a plan to save me, before. Before I could praise and thank Him, God was already at work on my behalf.
Lord, I can't begin to imagine what great love you have for me, and yet I'm greedy for all it encompasses. I'm greedy for your grace. How can I praise and live for and serve enough to thank you?

1. THE TITLE-CHANGER: doesn't understand the gospel, and therefore never believed.
Jesus explains it here (Matthew 13:19, Luke 8:12)
This describes thousands who sit in church weekly, were born into a Christian family, or otherwise claimed the name "Christian" but have never believed in Jesus for eternal life. We can only call them "Christian" in the looses sense of the word. (Luke 13:23–24)
2. THE MID-SEASON QUITTER: believes in Jesus and pursues discipleship for a while. When faced with temptation or suffering he gives up.
Jesus explains it here (Matthew 13:20–22, Luke 8:13)
They "receive the word with joy," and "believe for a while." This person has believed Jesus and therefore has eternal life. (John 3:36, 5:24) However, they only pursue a Godly lifestyle for a time.
The bible tells us that some believers do not endure in faith or good works. (2 Timothy 2:11–12) It's possible for a believer to "deny Jesus." It says that Jesus will, "deny him" in return. That doesn't mean he will deny them eternal life. It means he will deny him reward and friendship.
The very next verse tells us what Jesus' response will be. (2 Timothy 2:14) Even when he denies Jesus and is "faithless," Jesus "remains faithful." Therefore Jesus will reprimand and discipline the Mid-Season-Quitter, but he WILL NOT take away his eternal life. The Mid-Season-Quitter will still be saved (1 Corinthians 3:15, Romans 4:5)
3. THE CHRISTIAN SIN-CHASER: believed in Jesus, but doesn't pursue discipleship, and gets distracted by sin.
Jesus explains it here (Luke 8:14, Matthew 13:22)
The bible tells us that there are believers who never grow beyond spiritual infancy before they die. (1 Corinthians 3:3, 11:30, Hebrews 5:12) In the same way that the Mid-Season-Quitter can "deny Jesus" the Sin-Chaser can as well. Notice in this verse where the denial by Jesus is happening. (Matthew 10:33) It happens in Heaven. This person who once believed, but then denied Jesus has to be in Heaven to be denied by Jesus. So his soul will be saved even though his body will suffer the consequences of sin. (1 Corinthians 5:5)
There comes a time when God turns the Christian Sin-Chaser over to evil desires and thoughts. (Romans 1:24, Psalm 81:12) This person causes the Holy Spirit so much grief (Ephesians 4:30) that God will allow them to do and think whatever they want. In this case, the mind is darkened and judgment is clouded. (Ephesians 4:17) This has consequences. The Christian Sin-Chaser will lose rewards in Heaven (Matthew 6:19–21,1 Corinthians 3:10–15) but he will be eternally saved.
All these are pretty sad. Good News. There is another option!
BONUS / THE ENDURER: believes, pursues discipleship until he dies, and is rewarded in Heaven.
Jesus explains it here (Matthew 13:23, Luke 8:15)
Believers who also obey Christ until their lives are up will gain reward in Heaven. (Matthew 5:12, Luke 6:23, Revelation 22:12, Philippians 3:14, Hebrews 11:26, Matthew 16:27, Daniel 12:3, 1 Corinthians 3:8, 2 Corinthians 9:6, Luke 6:22–23, 1 Peter 5:4, 1 Thessalonians 2:19, 2 Timothy 4:8, Ephesians 2:6, John 14:3, John 17:24, 1 John 3:2, Revelation 22:4, Philippians 3:20–21, 1 Corinthians 15:42–44, 2 Corinthians 5:1–4)

Coconut Doughnuts
These doughnuts are insanely moist. I promise you, they melt in your mouth. My friends can never get enough of them. This cake doughnut recipe is very simple to make. I store the doughnuts glazed in the freezer for sugar-craving moments. Once the doughnuts are fried, they can be glazed with Coconut Glaze or any other glaze you like, or dusted with superfine sugar.

Today, my PostgreSQL doesn't start anymore on my windows machine...
I've tried to start the service in windows services and got the following error:
Windows could not start the PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3 service on Local Computer.
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Then I went to the command line to manually start C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/8.3/bin/psql.exe, and then I got this error:

Kids and adults alike were wowed by this year's Cubby House Challenge® at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden show. The annual auction of spectacular cubby houses created by leading Australian design and architecture firms saw a range of whimsical, futuristic, functional and exciting designs battle it out for the award categories.
This year, the winner of Australia's Best Cubby went to 'Glowb' by Playce and Agency of Sculpture. The 'Glowb' Cubby features a range of interactive elements including:
- Artificial grass

CEO of Kids Under Cover, Jo Swift was thrilled with the result, "This year we have had an incredible response by not only the building and architectural teams, but also the generous bidders who have broken all records from previous years," she said. "The funds raised from the auction of the cubbies, and from the generous donation of Gandel Philanthropy, will be directly invested into preventing youth homelessness through our relocatable studio and scholarship programs.

The best kitchen stores in NYC
At the best kitchen stores in NYC, stock up on cooking accoutrements and become a chef worthy of the best restaurants
Hear us out—it's worth visiting these kitchen stores in NYC. Contrary to popular belief, not all New Yorkers survive on a diet of happy hours, Seamless and bacon egg and cheese sandwiches (though many do). For those of you who actually utilize the pint-size kitchens in your pre-war apartments, we know how important it is to keep them well-stocked with cooking essentials. Thankfully, New York has a bevy of affordable kitchenware stores that'll help you do just that. Whether you're looking for everyday utensils or extra shelving for the best cookbooks, look to these shops for all your kitchen needs.
RECOMMENDED: Full guide to shopping in NYC
Best kitchen stores in NYC
1. Bowery Kitchen Supply
Don't be surprised if you spot Rachael Ray perusing the aisles of this well-stocked store housed in Chelsea Market, which also happens to be home to the Food Network studios. Inside the sprawling space, you'll discover a wide variety of products for novice cooks and professional chefs alike. Newbies needing recipe help will appreciate the acrylic cookbook holders, while wannabe Bobby Flays might benefit from pancake dispensers and jumbo capacity choppers that make cutting onions a much less teary feat.
2. Fishs Eddy
Eye candy is plentiful at this quirky shop that's light on cooking tools but heavy on stylish dinnerware. To wit, look for white plates modeled after slices of New York pizza from the Shape Shack collection or witty Shuguh bowls and Cawfee cups from the Brooklynese collection. Fervent party throwers will love Strip Tea highball glasses emblazoned with (tasteful) female dancers, while serious bakers can use glass jade stands to put their homemade birthday cakes on a proper pedestal.
3. A Cook's Companion
This kitchen emporium is brimming with useful and affordable food prep devices such as Westmark cherry pitters and standby Cuisinart hand blenders available at discounted prices. Toward the back of the store, you'll discover a small room devoted to knife sharpening services and a separate section of bakeware that you won't find in chain stores, including Wilton whoopie pie pans shaped as dog bones, ghosts and martini glasses.
4. Korin
After 21 years of supplying NYC's Japanese restaurants with fine tableware, owner Saori Kawano opened her shop to the public in 2003. Skilled chefs like Eric Ripert, Marcus Samuelsson and Anita Lo frequent the minimalist store, which is best known for its Japanese knife selection and sharpening services, but it's teeming with beautiful things for the non–Iron Chef, too, including Zo Jirushi rice cookers, wok and ladle sets, and Noshi Gushi small bamboo skewers.
5. The Brooklyn Kitchen
It's hard not to find something to do, eat or buy at this bi-level, industrial-inspired establishment that resembles a renovated auto garage. Aside from the surplus of new cooking contraptions, there's a small produce section and a mini butcher shop in the back of the store. A large room to its left holds classes that cater to at-home cooks—on everything from pickling to pie making—and upstairs you'll find DIY beer-brewing supplies and baking tools along with a working kitchen used for smaller cooking classes.
6. Global Table
Global Table is your go-to spot for simple glasses and tableware with clean lines and gorgeous glazes sourced from around the globe. Impress houseguests with ceramic Japanese plates featuring striking blue stripes or a large serving bowl made of recycled glass. Shoppers who err on the side of clumsy but still want to be chic would be wise to pick up Thomas Paul unbreakable melamine sea creature plates and Pine Cone Hill yellow-and-cream Madeline-cotton napkins.
7. The Kitchen Clique
Although the trek from the nearest subway station to this Midwood store could satisfy your weekly calorie-burning quota, it's worth the 15-minute walk if you're looking for sheer variety. The shop, which will remind you of a semi-organized basement, is a jumble of useful items such as Kuhn Rikon egg separators, Prepara herb savor pods and at least eight different kinds of ice cream scoops.
8. Whisk
The quaint shop features endearing Julia Child quotes scribbled on small chalkboards among cozy wooden shelves, tables and hutches that hold an array of dreamy gourmand-centric products. You'll find tried-and-true cookware such as raspberry-color Kitchen Aide mixers and Rival Crock Pot Stoneware slow cookers, but there are also plenty of handy gadgets that fall in the didn't-know-existed-but-absolutely-need-it category—like Harold Import bamboo toast tongs and Amco Housewares avocado slicers.
9. Tarzian West for Houseware
Though this small, renovated brownstone is only a fraction of the size of its big-box competitors, staffers use every inch of space by stacking cookware and a small selection of home decor goods from floor to ceiling. Along with bright, fun products such as orange ombré fondue sets, there are tons of small appliances perfect for NYC apartments. Items like four-and-a-half pound Mighty OJ Juicers and petite four-quart fryers won't smother your tiny kitchen.
10. Cucina & Tavola
Cucina & Tavola's Williamsburg-based brick and mortar offers Rosenthal fine china, Sambonet flatware and Padero kitchenware at rock bottom factory prices. Whether you're looking for a four-blade vegetable spiralizer (think zucchini noodles), or stainless steel table mats (which also happen to be dishwasher safe), you'll find exactly what you need at this warehouse-like locale.
11. JB Prince
Serving professional and aspiring chefs since 1977, it's no wonder JB Prince upholds a cult-like following in NYC. Browse through its extensive online catalog of industrial and individual size cookware, cutlery and bar tools—or spend an afternoon pricing out pasta machines and thumbing through the best Italian cookbooks at the Midtown East mainstay.
12. Chef Restaurant Supplies
Don't let the name fool you—Chef Restaurant Supplies caters just as much to the home chef as it does to the polished professional, offering an impressive array of cutlery and cast iron cookware alongside industrial restaurant grade deep fryers. Feel free to lose yourself in the floor to ceiling stacks, but if at any point you're having a hard time deciding between brands, just ask the staff—they're always willing to share their knowledge.

In today's retail narrative, one thing is clear: the customer should always be first. Retailers are doing all they can to create a customer-centric experience, deliver personalization and invest in any way to attract and keep shoppers. While this is essential to thriving in business, it's worth asking: are employees getting left behind? Are the store investments you are making now helping to build and maintain your dream team of store associates?
Topics: ESL, store associate, retail associate
Once upon a time, the store made it a point to know all their customers, what they liked, what they didn't, and perhaps even knew some of their birthdays and important anniversaries. When a customer would enter the store, the actual owner of the shop would be there to greet the customer by name, ask about their family and see if they've enjoyed their last purchase. The shopping experience was highly personalized and relevant to each shopper's buying behavior.
Topics: in-store, retail, store, brick and mortar, bricks and mortar, store associate, in-store technologies
For those of us in the retail industry, there is no denying the growing buzz around creating digitally-powered in-store shopping experiences for the consumer. It's what today's shopper wants. But are these technologies going to generate valuable ROI for retail organizations? More importantly, will they help store associates do the job they were hired to do?
Topics: retail, in-store efficiencies, store operations, store associate

text: Power Lawyer Ken Ziffren on Netflix, TV and Future of Hollywood 3:04 PM PDT 10/2/2013 by Alex Ben Block FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME YOUTUBE "The question is when does the money run out?" the attorney said of Amazon and Netflix at a Hollywood Reporter event celebrating the industry's top business managers. A savvy new class of venture capitalists, pension plans and high-net-worth individuals have replaced foreign investors and tax shelters as the primary financial backers of Hollywood movies, a top industry attorney said Wednesday at The Hollywood Reporter's third annual Business Managers Power Breakfast. "Instead of being passive investors and basically taking their chances, the investor today is active and in many cases is also a production company itself or an investor in pictures rather than just letting the studio pick the pictures," said Kenneth Ziffren, founding partner at Ziffren Brittenham. PHOTOS: THR's Power Business Managers Breakfast Ziffren's comments came during a keynote Q&A with THR executive editor Matthew Belloni at Cut restaurant in Beverly Hills as part of the event honoring the top business managers in Hollywood. Ziffren said a quarter to a third of major studio movies in recent years have been financed through slate deals, where an investor puts up money for a group of films and makes a profit if enough of those movies do well. "I imagine that is going to continue until either their luck runs out," said Ziffren, "or they are no longer skillful." While investors have for the most part made money, the major studios have taken a tough stance with actors, directors and other artists who make the movies. "The studios have not treated the major players as kindly as one might hope," said Ziffren. "There's been a movement away from what we call first-dollar gross deals into gross pool deals." What that means, he explained, is that five or 10 years ago an A-list star might share in the revenue from a movie along with the distributor even before all the costs of making and marketing a movie are recovered. No longer. "The studios are fanatics at this point in trying to enforce that business structure on any picture they perceive to be risky," said Ziffren, adding: "In that respect, the artist isn't getting treated as well as he or she was 10 or 20 years ago." He said artist representatives have responded by recalculating deals so that if the client is taking more risk, "in effect being subordinate to a return of capital to the studio, you should get more [money if the project] is successful. That's the way everything is moving." Ziffren also questioned the economics of digital subscription channels like Netflix and Amazon that are investing heavily in original programming. "The question is when does the money run out?" said Ziffren. "Netflix has shown a profit the last year or so but from a cash-flow point of view they are going deeper and deeper into the hole. The current game plan is to hold the $7.99 (per sub per month) price, which may or may not make a lot of sense, and try to do it purely on getting more subscriptions to cover your investment. I'm not sure of that play." Ziffren also commented on the future of the television business, explaining that while the major broadcasters still sell shows one-by-one to advertisers for the most part, cable sells its entire slate and promises a certain number of rating points (the size of the audience). STORY: How Business Managers Handle Money for Stars Who Make Less Than They Think "If they have a big hit like a Breaking Bad," said Ziffren, "they can now charge x hundred thousand dollars a spot. They are going to charge that on each and every spot on each and every program, so you lift all boats in that case and that's good for everyone." Hollywood Reporter publisher and senior vp Lynne Segall opened the program by telling the restaurant full of business managers, "We know it's your client who usually gets al the attention," but THR believes it is "important to recognize the work you do because so many of you control so much of the money in this town." The Power Business Managers event was sponsored by City National Bank, Delta Airlines and CAPS. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME YOUTUBE Alex Ben Block firstname.lastname@example.com @thr

Audio Scripture - original
It was the custom of the kings and priests of old to read the scriptures out loud so that the congregation of people may hear, understand, and believe.
"And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe." (Kitab Injil)
"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about the Messiah." (Kitab Injil)

Calgary city councillor concerned with location, lack of public engagement for BLM mural
This mural, titled Giving Wings to the Dream, is slated to be replaced with a Black Lives Matter mural, which has sparked some controversy.
CALGARY -- A Calgary city councillor has concerns about a Black Lives Matter mural slated for downtown, which is planned to be the first of four art pieces funded by the city.
Coun. Diane Colley-Urquhart says she's not in favour of the location chosen for the mural and says there hasn't been enough public engagement about the project.
"The last thing in the world we need now is certainly controversy around the public art program," she said.
"But probably more importantly, I would say, we don't need controversy with Black Lives Matter and the type of public art we're going to have."
The first mural is slated to be painted on a wall at 1st Street and 7th Avenue S.E., across from the Centre Street LRT station.
It's the current location of a mural named Giving Wings to the Dream, which was painted in 1995 by artist Doug Driediger.
The mural was painted for the Calgary Urban Project Society (CUPS) and was designed "as a symbol of hope," according to Driediger's website.
"We cannot change the mural that's there," said Colley-Urquhart, who adds her office has been receiving dozens of emails and phone calls from people concerned about the location of the artwork.
The Black Lives Matter mural series is a project by Pink Flamingo, artist Katie Green and filmmaker Suitaakii Black. The City of Calgary will provide $120,000 for the four murals in the series.
The first mural — the one set to replace the Giving Wings to the Dream piece — is slated to be completed in September and the group is accepting applications from artists until Aug. 17.
The new mural "aims to reflect the evolution of hope and what it looks like in today's current context," according to the project's description.
CTV News has requested an interview with Pink Flamingo, but has not yet received a response.
An online petition calling for a different wall to be chosen for the mural garnered more than 100 signatures in the first four hours after it was posted.

Many of you know that I am a Realtor(r).Today, I had the home inspector, heating & air inspector and the termite inspector all lined up to check out a super cool house I just sold in Forest Hills. As I got the house open for them, I realized that I was so hungry I felt woozy. Guess those bing cherries from this morning were rapidly waning. So, I got them started and then fled the scene in search of some quick sustenance. Just about 2 blocks down Forest Drive was The Pizza Joint.
I've been here before but I don't go often. Not for any particular reason, but I'm just not over there all that much. The waitress presented me with a menu and a lunch specials menu. I love a restaurant that actually has specials...you know, like a good deal, not just something that's not normally on the menu. I perused the list and decided on a simple, yet tried & true selection...a slice and a salad for a mere $5.25. That's a helluva price!
|Forgot to mention it came with a garlic knot
The slice was about the size of my head. I think this is a funny pizza place phenomenon...the slice. Seems like it would be a slice from a regular large pizza, but it never is. It's essentially a medium pizza made into a triangle shape.
|Mama Mia! That's a big ol' slice
The Pizza Joint makes good pizza though. Please don't misunderstand me. The sweetness of the sauce just isn't my most favorite, but from reading others' reviews, some people find that very appealing. As I've written before, pizza is like art. When that dough hits the pan, it's a blank canvas for the culinary artist in us all! This place has a cool, casual atmosphere and I was interested to note that their Happy Hour begins at 2:00. Hmmmm ;-0

Our Time in Reception
Autumn Term 2018
This term we have loved welcoming all of our new children into reception and introducing them to school life. The children and family group practitioners have been getting to know each other and learning all about each other. The children have been playing and exploring in their new environment and learning how to use the continuous provision that fills our classroom. It has been lovely to see how the children learn and watch their learning characteristics emerge.
After our initial settling in period we moved onto learning about the seasons and we have eagerly watched as the weather, environment and colours and have changed before our very eyes. We began learning about autumn by investigating a wonderful talking tub full of beautiful autumnal objects. We excitedly talked about what we could see and what we knew about them before helping, our family group leaders to plan our own learning. The Bumble Bee group decided to investigate what Owl's have to do with autumn and were very surprised to find out that baby owl's leave home in the autumn time. The Grasshopper group decided to learn all about Hedgehogs and hibernation. They made models from mixed materials and even made their own hedgehog sanctuary. Finally, the Spiders group chose to focus on autumn leaves. They looked closely at the changes in colours and the veins on the leaves. They all loved the story of, 'The Leaf Man' and created some beautiful versions of their own.
As the season changed into winter we have moved onto looking at different festivals and celebrations. We made diva lamps for Diwali, made medals as part of remembrance day and used junk modelling materials to make giant fireworks for bonfire night. Once we reached December the children were keen to move onto celebrating the festival of Christmas and we have had some fantastic learning opportunities so far. It all began with a visit from Jack frost who left us gifts of stories, snowflakes and frosted objects. Leaving us a different gift each day, we were able to track his journey and spot all of the signs of winter along the way. We all thought that was exciting until one day we came to school and had a magical journey on the 'Polar Express'. Collecting our golden tickets at the door we hurriedly boarded the train. We set off on a mystical journey full of fun, creativity and most importantly hot chocolate! We met the conductor, messaged Santa and soaked up the story as we headed towards the north pole. Everyone suggested what the first gift of Christmas should be and sang along to our favourite festive tunes. As we all disembarked the train we were delighted to receive our special Christmas bells. We all definitely BELIEVE!
Home Learning:
Autumn Term 2017
What a fabulous time the reception children have been having, exploring our current topic of Traditional Tales. The children and staff been looking closely at different versions of the familiar stories and unpicking their meanings with the children. Some of our highlights have been making our own Goldilocks porridge, following instructions and monitoring the temperature until it was just right! The spider group had an awesome time following the breadcrumb trail to uncover the sweetie house in the Hansel and Gretel story. They responded to what they heard by making two sweetie houses of their very own. The first house was made from a range of junk materials and the children thoroughly enjoyed making their own sweets, lollipops and candy canes to attach in different ways to the outside of the house. The second was a special residence made completely out of gingerbread. It was challenging for the children to attach the pieces together and I am sure some of the delicious treats attached to the outside made their way into the children's tummies.
The Bumble Bee group had were captivated by the love story of Cinderella. We all imagined having our very own Fairy Godmother and what we would wish for if we could have anything in the world. The children came up with some very funny and fabulous ideas. They then played a very special game of, 'Through the Key Hole'. They matched the princess' to the types of castles they lived in and discussed the differences in shapes between them. They didn't stop there, going on to discuss, name and use 3D shapes to make a large scale castle of their very own from junk modelling materials. It was a pleasure to hear them discussing the properties of the shapes and the best use for them.
The stand out moment of the term has to be the arrival and then capture of the Big Bad wolf in our classroom. The children were captivated by the mischievous adventures of the wolf and led to lots of discussions, questions and problem solving, independent writing opportunities and amazing artwork. The excitement in the classroom when the wolf was captured was amazing, the children were so grateful to Squasher Scarr and Basher Bingham for capturing him.
Also this term we have been learning about some traditional events in their own culture and from around the world. So far we have looked at, Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year which has been a particular success. The Grasshoppers led the way by making a traditional Chinese meal for all of us to share. They used traditional ingredients and equipment to get a very authentic look and taste. They had such fun using the wok and then trying to eat the food with their chop sticks.
We have so much more to look forward to over the rest of the term including special occasions such as World Book Day, Mother's Day and of course all of the exciting Easter events that will be going on in school. Keep an eye out for further information on STAY and PLAY Sessions, PARENT and CHILD egg decorating, as well as a whole school Easter performance.

We create excel spreadsheets and save them to our sync drive so they can be sync'd to Docs. We have selected the setting in syncdocs to convert files to docs format, but lately nearly all our spreadsheets fail to convert. The file in Docs is not editable online because it did not convert to docs format like it should.
We have always used the 'convert to docs format' feature and in the past only some file would fail to convert, maybe 1 out of 100. But in the past few days nearly all our files are failing to convert to docs format. Can you help with this problem, or is this a problem with Google? I noticed docs has been acting crazy lately. Please advise.

Got a good idea? Don't rush to execute. Instead, stop, drop your excitement and roll out these steps to know if it's good or meant for the garbage bin.
When you've got a new idea it can be incredibly tempting to run with it. It just fills you up with joy and you can't possibly see how it could ever fail. The thing is, more often than not it does, because of some oversight, because there is already plenty of competition or because the market turns out to be far smaller than you might have thought.
For that reason, you really need to be able to separate the good from the mediocre. The million dollar question is obviously how to do that. That's what we're going to look at today. Here are some methods that you can apply to see if your idea actually has a chance or whether it's better to wait for the next one to come along.
Let it stew
Now, this strategy won't always work. If your idea is time sensitive or you're afraid somebody else is very close to executing it, then obviously you don't want to wait for the execution. When that is not the case, however, it can sometimes be a good strategy to write it down, think it out and then to sit back for a little while.
If you then return to it a few weeks to a month later and the idea is still fantastic, act on it then.
You can even turn this into a full on plan. Simply make it a practice to write down your plans in a notebook and then when you've written down whatever plan you've thought up this time, leaf back a couple of pages and read something else that you wrote. Does it excite you more than your current plan? Then it's probably a good idea.
Talk about it
So many people are scared that you're going to run off with their idea and therefore guard it jealously. The thing is, the having of the plan isn't the hard part. It's the execution that's the hard part. Besides, not everybody is an idea thief. There are people out there that you can trust. So discuss it with them.
If they get just as enthusiastic as you do, then you might very well be onto something good (And you might even have found somebody to do it with). If they don't, well then you'll need to take that into account.
Of course, that does not mean that you should just dismiss an idea. Sometimes you just caught somebody at a bad time. Sometimes they're not the right audience for your product. Still, their reaction can be a good indication of whether your product is a good idea and whether it needs refinement.
Check out the competition
The next thing to do is to find out if there is anybody out there who's already done anything like what you're considering, how well it is going and whether you can deliver a product or service that is better than theirs.
This can even serve as a new opportunity to hone your idea and execution as seeing how somebody else carried out an idea can give you valuable insights. Similarly, you can check out the reviews that other people have written about the other company's execution to find out if a part of the market is not yet satisfied with the product on offer and what features you can introduce that aren't available yet.
To give you an example, Apple back in the 80s did this by developing computers that weren't for people who wanted to put them together but instead just wanted something they could plug and play. This made them incredibly useful to students and that was how they were able to compete with other brands.
Could you do something similar with your own brand?
Market research
The next stage is where the rubber really hits the road. Market research is often a long drawn out process and can, in fact, be quite expensive if done correctly. This is where you find out how big your market segment would be and how interested they would actually be in your product.
It would also mean understanding where you would market your product, what values you would push and how you would actually engage your audience. You'd probably want to engage in thin slicing this is where you cut your market segment down to a small enough segment that you can actually dominate that market.
The better your market research, the more certain you'll be if your product would actually sell and how to sell it if you decide to go ahead, so yeah it's not fun, takes time and can be expensive, but don't skip this part.
The business plan
The next layer is the business plan. This is where you try to write something that you could approach investors with. Don't skip this part, as the very act of writing down your plan and working through such ideas as monetization, market segment growth, and running costs can you work out if your idea is fundamentally workable.
So even if you've never written one of these before, figure out how it's done. Don't be afraid to ask for help either. If you're not sure where to go, try some writing companies as they can help you a great deal without being too expensive. Here are some writing company reviews to check out.
Trial run
The next step is to do a trail run. These are easy, nowadays. Just find the right words, put a post upon on social media and see what kind of response you get. Send them all to a page where you explain the idea and get people to sign up for a newsletter.
Then see how much interest you get and how that compares to average click-through and engagement rates. Basically, if your rate is about 2% you might be on to something.
This might sound like a waste of money, but it is anything but. You see, by running these kinds of ads you will not only start building up an email list, but you'll also have some figures that you can bring in to show investors or partners when it's time to start looking for funding and help.
What about giving your idea away? Yes, there is a risk that somebody will go 'hey that's a good idea'. At the same time, you're already so much further along the road than they are at this point and have so much more information, that unless you really allow things to slow down, you'll be to market long before they will be.
What's more, you'll have a huge amount of information that they still need to gather.
Last words
Done all of that and gotten positive results all along the way? Well, then it's time to execute as you can now be sure that your idea wasn't just some sort of brain fart, but actually, something that can be executed successfully.
Yes, that is a lot of work, but trust me if you don't take these steps then there is a damned good chance that after six months or a year of investing all your effort and time you'll come to realize that you've been going about this all wrong, that you've made some kind of mistake or that your idea should never have been executed in the first place.
And that's far more expensive than running through these steps even a dozen times.

Meet Jesse
4th-Generation Marylander
My family's story in Maryland began at the Port of Baltimore in 1899 with my great-great-grandfather. He went right to work at Maryland Steel (later Bethlehem Steel) and put my family on the path towards the American Dream, founding a family business, Baltimore Paint and Color Works. The company provided jobs to over 150 Marylanders and much-needed supplies to the U.S. Navy during WW2. My family never left Maryland. Today, my parents are dedicated public servants working for the state legal system.
Called to Service
My call to service begins on 9/11. I was a senior in high school and met with military recruiters that week – the first of many scares for my parents. I sensed my generation's challenge lay in the Middle East and sought to understand the region's languages, cultures, and politics.
In college, I majored in history and minored in Arabic, spending a semester in Egypt. After graduation from Duke University in 2006, I lived in Syria, where I taught English to Iraqi refugees and Syrians hoping to study in American universities. My Iraqi students blamed the U.S. government for the escalating violence in Iraq which cost many of them homes, family members, and – for some – nearly their lives. My students also held a deep respect for the American service members and diplomats they had encountered. I was against the invasion of Iraq and could see from Syria that it was going poorly. But my country needed people to step up and serve. I had a college degree, language skills, and cultural knowledge of the Arab world – who was I not to serve?
Six decades earlier, my grandfather, one of my heroes, faced a similar choice. The U.S. Navy offered him two options: obtain a MBA on the Navy's dime or ship out to the Pacific. My grandfather knew if he deployed, some other guy – who hadn't been home in years – could return to his family. My grandfather didn't see it as much of a choice. He married his college sweetheart, took a train to San Francisco, and shipped out to the Pacific. I saw my decision in similar terms. I chose to join the Army and serve my country in a time of need.
Army Ranger
I served for six years in the U.S. Army as an intelligence officer, completing four combat deployments to Afghanistan and a year forward-stationed near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in South Korea as the sole intelligence officer for an infantry unit. I am a proud graduate of the US Army's Ranger Course, the premier leadership school in the military. I am even more honored to have served in the 75th Ranger Regiment – the Army Rangers. Rangers lead in many key roles throughout the Special Operations Forces' (SOF) community, and I am lucky to have served and led with men and women of this caliber.
As a Ranger, my four combat deployments in Afghanistan took place within a Joint Special Operations Task Force. I led intelligence teams whose work facilitated capture/kill missions of Taliban, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist leaders. I managed a lethal drone program. I ran human intelligence sources. Every day, my team and I made dozens of decisions whose outcomes carried life and death consequences for my fellow Rangers, our Afghan partners, and Afghan civilians.
My intelligence teams were diverse; we had members representing every military branch, civilians, young Rangers, and seasoned contractors. Those differences made our teams better: we all believed in the mission and valued the different approaches each of us brought to a common problem. And we got results. My leadership style evolved into a very simple philosophy: the mission comes first. Then you take care of your people. And your personal interests always come last.
Business Problem-Solver
After the military, I utilized the GI Bill to obtain a Master of International Affairs from Columbia University and went about adapting my leadership, analytical, and relationship-building skills to the business sector. For Control Risks Group, I helped clients make more informed decisions before major mergers or acquisitions. For Barclays Capital, I helped the bank root out instances of bank employees engaging in illicit or illegal activity. Most recently at Toffler Associates, a consultancy, I helped business leaders identify opportunities to create new jobs. I also led teams helping government executives identify ways to improve the efficiencies of their organizations.
I am walking away from my private sector experience with one fundamental lesson: leadership matters above all other factors, regardless of a company's size, industry, or competition.
A New Call to Service
My wife, Jordan, and I welcomed our first child this year. We are an unusual couple in this era of vitriolic partisan politics: I am a Democrat, and she is a Republican.
When it comes to politics, Jordan, a former police officer, and I share similar values and goals and sometimes differ on the path to get there. You know what we argue about? It isn't the federal tax code. It's how often I take out the trash.
Jordan and I know that the values we share in common are far more important than the issues on which we may disagree. We both believe strongly in the value of public service. We believe that nearly everyone is going through a challenge – a recent layoff, a medical condition, a loved one struggling with addiction, so we all have a responsibility to leave our communities better than when we found them. As new parents, we think it is critical to give our child better opportunities than were afforded us. When we look out at today's political landscape, we don't see these values represented. For those reasons, I feel called to service for the people of Maryland's 1st Congressional District.
