Figured I might as well start this thread since a lot of rumors came out about it lately.
First off, in case anyone doesn't know, the Nintendo NX was announced during their press conference to announce thier partnership with DeNA to create games for mobile platforms (i.e. Smartphone). Nintendo has been tight-lipped about it, stating that they will reveal details in 2016.
Now, even though Nintendo themselves have been tight-lipped, certain things have came out.
...speculate that the NX will use cartridges. Also, there's the patent for a controller that not only has a screen in the center (much like the Wii U's current main controller), but also clickable wheel buttons for shoulder buttons.
Now, it's been reported that Nintendo has distributed dev kits for the NX. Ever since then, there have been two big reported rumors. Rumor number one -- the Nintendo NX will be a console/handheld hybrid with "industry leading chips". Second, the Nintendo NX COULD be more powerful than the Playstation 4.
Being more powerful than the PS4 is not a very impressive feat going into 2016. The PS4 is a 2014 re-release of low to mid end PC hardware from 2011, with a less powerful CPU.
If the NX is a. a console, and b. more powerful than the PS4, then my guess is that it uses an APU based on AMD's forthcoming Zen line. The Zen line is scalable, so AMD can just add and remove components to the core depending on the specific application. It can scale all the way up to a 32 core server class CPU, so a low power variant that would go into a gaming console would be possible.
I don't believe the cartridge idea, as that seems silly, but Nintendo does despise load times in the same way we do. An SD Card based physical media would make sense. An improved eShop would make sense also, though they really need to revise their store layout and unify the NNID on all devices. If I buy it in the eShop, I should be able to play it on all Nintendo devices, period.
The timing of a 2016 release seems somewhat coincidental with the delay of the upcoming Zelda game. There's also a hidden eShop listing for Twilight Princess HD. Maybe Nintendo is releasing Twilight Princess HD for Wii U as a consolation prize, and moving the new Zelda game to the NX? Wouldn't be the first time they did this; the Wii's launch titles were ports of canceled Gamecube games.
The cartridge idea, in my opinion, would be far from silly. I think it'd be great marketing tool as it could give people nostalgia to the old (S)NES days.
As for the part in bold, that just may happen since during the meeting where they announced the NX and the partnership with DeNA, crossplay seemed to be emphasized.
Millennials don't buy nostalgia, and parents are too busy parenting for video game nostalgia. I don't believe cartridges are in the mix here. That idea makes no sense to me.
Even if the cartridges in question are SD-based?
SD Cards aren't cartridges. So how are you thinking of an SD-based cartridge? Like a cartridge-shaped adapter that you plug the SD card into? That would be unnecessarily complex.
I was thinking of an SD card that was encased.
Needlessly complicated with no benefit.
There are now rumors that the NX is both a portable and a console, though, so perhaps you're on the right track in regards to putting a smaller thing into a bigger thing, but instead you dock the handheld into the console part, or something.
That part is something I'm extremely interested in. It;d go along well with the idea of crossplay.
So what does this all mean? From the looks of it, Nintendo is filing the patent for a device that will be able to attach physically and wirelessly to a game device to increase processing resources of a game or utilize cloud support. The supplemental computing device, which holds processing power and memory, could for instance be coupled physically to the game console to help run a game or a second game entirely. Additionally, the computing device could bridge games between two different consoles, local (perhaps a home console) and remote (perhaps a handheld console) and possibly stream games.
Ultimately, there is no way of knowing whether this filing refers to the upcoming Nintendo NX. However, one is safe to assume that the two may be connected. There is also the chance this could somehow refer to the Wii U and New Nintendo 3DS. Check out the patent pictures below or the source for the full information on the patent.
2016 can't come soon enough.
I'm more excited about Nintendo releasing content on iOS. They've always been a great mobile gaming company, this is just icing on the cake. I haven't bought any of their products for years but I'd definitely consider it on iOS.
Also, if Nintendo would partner with Apple for the Apple TV, that'd be great.
To what end? Also, the last time Apple paired with someone to make a TV device, it didn't go so well.
Anything is better than nothing for me. I'd love Apple's hardware and software with Nintendo's content.
Yeah, yeah I know but that was soooooooo long ago.
Nintendo's content is Nintendo-y because it's Nintendo's hardware.
They're innovative, no doubt, but they could easily partner with the Apple TV, develop content for it and sell peripherals for it.
No, they couldn't. I'm sorry, but no, Nintendo would not benefit from surrendering control of their hardware and becoming a second party to another company that isn't nearly as committed to gaming as they are. There is zero upside for quality in your scenario.
I get what you're saying, they shouldn't relinquish too much control. Probably just wishful thinking on my part.
Remember that the best Nintendo games take advantage of their unique, or unique-at-the-time hardware. Mario 64 took advantage of the analog stick, Pokemon used the link cable, Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker used the C stick, etc. Now these features are totally commonplace, but when Nintendo implemented them and made games around them, they were unique and led to amazing games.
Surrendering design control to Apple is as anathema to Nintendo as it would be to Apple. Apple would never (now) surrender a given product to the control of another company. That's why Apple products are Apple products. And it's why Nintendo games are Nintendo games.
Right, but those are all peripherals. Point still taken that Nintendo and Apple like to have full control over their products.
It's still hardware, though. That was really all my point was, that Nintendo builds their games around their hardware, and they won't be as good if they're building around another's hardware.
It'll be really interesting when the NX is finally announced.
They say 2016, so I think it'll be at E3 at the latest.
Nintendo doesn't really do E3 these days. They do Nintendo Directs. Well, that was under Iwata. The new CEO did one Nintendo Direct recently, but that was previously scheduled. No clue if they're going to continue doing those. I think they need to do something at E3 regardless.
For this system, I do think it's imperative that they show up to E3 in person.
If they don't attend E3, it'll just confirm my belief that they couldn't care less about third party support, online multiplayer and attracting more gamers.
Attracting third parties is done in private meetings throughout the year, not at E3.
Let's see what the new CEO does.
I don't see the functional difference between that and the touchscreen on the Wii U's controller.
Apparently, with the exception of the thumbsticks, the buttons will all be touch.
Yeah but what better way is there to drum up support from fans and advertise third party games for Nintendo?
I hope not, because touch buttons lack the precision of physical buttons.
Nintendo Directs are already slathered in 3rd party titles. And there's nothing stopping those 3rd parties from advertising their own Nintendo platform games. In fact, that's how it's expected to work.
A great showing at E3 can be helpful, I'm just saying that I wouldn't expect Nintendo to follow the herd.
The NX will come with a wireless HDMI dongle that will be detachable and able to plug into any display with a standard size HDMI output.
The NX will stream HD on your TV by using an advanced version of the Wii U’s current streaming technology.
The analog controls for movement will provide full haptic feedback via small motors in the controls. For example, if you’re controlling a character that hits a wall, the stick will move away from the wall to simulate that impact.
Bluetooth sync will be featured, with a long list of devices to be supported. This includes smartphones and tablets.
Phone calls and text messages will be displayable and answerable on your TV screen via the NX.
It is closest to the Xbox One in terms of power.
The exact same hardware layout as the PS4 and Xbox One was used.
The social features will be similar to Pokémon GO’s.
It will support multiplayer, AR, and a “StreetPass concept,” and take all three to new levels.
It excels in its usability and ease.
It looks friendly but not necessarily what most people expect a Nintendo device will look like.
The operating system is called NintendOS, and is very powerful. It had many modern features of mobile operating systems.
Nintendo is being careful in showing it off out of fear that it would be mistaken as running on Android.
It features very strong networking functions because of its ties into multiple devices and services. This allows for an extremely competent and pervasive ecosystem designed to constantly involve the consumer’s life.
eltos_lightfoot and Desides like this.
Nearly all of that list is bull****, but I got a good laugh out of it, at least.
The next Nintendo Direct is on March 3, 2 PM Pacific (3 PM Mountain, 4 PM Central, 5 PM Eastern). The focus is Wii U and 3DS titles for the rest of 2016.
So it'll be about as long as the Pokemon one.
I'd imagine that Paper Mario rumor finally comes to fruition.
Honestly… I played Pokemon Blue back in The Day, I Caught Them All, and I even got Mewtwo and Missingno. And now? I just can't care anymore. Just… can't. But I hope my eventual kids enjoy the series if Nintendo is still around in 15 years or whenever.
A new Paper Mario game would be fantastic. I'd settle for an HD remake of The Thousand Year Door, though. Or a remake/sequel of Super Mario RPG.
Man that would be awesome.

Overall faecal carriage of these ESBL producing organisms was found to be 24.2% (116 out of 480 samples). The frequency of carriage was higher among inpatients (42.03%) followed by outpatients (29.37%) and healthy subjects (9.72%). Among ESBL producers E.coli was the predominant isolate. The present investigation suggests circulation of ESBL producing organisms both in the hospital environment and community.

With the proliferation of high-end cheese shops, not to mention the thriving local cheese and dairy scene, it's pretty safe to say that Dallas has a taste for Stilton, cheddar, burrata--or any other variety, for that matter.
Proof of that comes in the form of Scardello Artisan Cheese. When it opened a few months ago with--my God--120 American cheeses, plus accompaniments like Antipasti, Charcuterie and sweets.
But now Scardello has gone beyond the storefront, offering classes and more recently, a menu.
Learn the basics this evening in a 7 p.m. Cheese 101 class, or narrow your focus to The Blues at 7 p.m., February 26. March classes include Italian Cheese and Wine and a "Festival of Smells, " European and American washed rind cheeses. Classes are $25. Visit scardellocheese.com for more information and to reserve space.
Scardello's menu includes their upscale version of a ploughman's Lunch...we say upscale because the cheese is probably more interesting than what a 18th century English farmhand carried...and sandwiches like Stewart's cheddar press (Royal Cheddar melted with pickled, curried green tomatoes). Even something as mundane as the "cold tomato" sandwich ends up with Brie de Nagis, a thin spread of mayonnaise and a sprinkle of sea salt.
All of a sudden, it's good to be cheesy. And quite convenient.

A fundamental goal of the federal bankruptcy laws enacted by Congress is to give debtors a financial “fresh start” from burdensome debts. In a 1934 decision, the Supreme Court made the point that the bankruptcy process gives an honest but unfortunate debtor a new opportunity in life, unhampered by the pressure and discouragement of preexisting debt. This goal is accomplished through the bankruptcy discharge, which releases debtors from personal liability from specific debts and prohibits creditors from ever taking any action against the debtor to collect those debts.
The bankruptcy code imposes severe sanctions and penalties for any creditor attempting to collect a debt after being notified of a bankruptcy filing. Chapter 7, in theory, contemplates an orderly, court-supervised procedure by which a trustee takes over the assets of the debtor’s estate, reduces them to cash, and makes distributions to creditors. In reality, most personal bankruptcy estates are “no asset” cases which have nothing for the trustee to distribute. A creditor holding an unsecured claim will get a distribution from the bankruptcy estate only if the case is an asset case and the creditor files a proof of claim with the bankruptcy court. In most Chapter 7 cases, if the debtor is an individual, he or she receives a discharge that releases him or her from personal liability for certain dischargeable debts. The debtor normally receives a discharge 3 months after the petition is filed.
Amendments to the Bankruptcy Code enacted by the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 require the application of a “means test” to determine whether individual consumer debtors qualify for relief under Chapter 7. The test determines whether a debtor has “the means” to pay their creditors. If such a debtor’s income is in excess of certain thresholds, the debtor may not be eligible for Chapter 7 relief.
Are you Eligible for Chapter 7? To qualify for relief under Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the debtor may be an individual, a partnership, or a corporation or other business entity. If the debtor’s income is below the median family income or the debtor passes the means test (described above), relief is available under Chapter 7 irrespective of the debtor’s debts or whether the debtor is solvent or insolvent.
An individual cannot file under Chapter 7 or any other Chapter, however, if during the preceding 180 days a prior bankruptcy petition was dismissed due to the debtor’s willful failure to appear before the court or comply with orders of the court, or the debtor voluntarily dismissed the previous case after creditors sought relief from the bankruptcy court to recover property upon which they hold liens.
In addition, an individual is not eligible to file under Chapter 7 or any Chapter of the Bankruptcy Code unless he or she has, within 180 days before filing, completed a credit counseling course from an approved credit counseling agency. There are exceptions in emergency situations or where the U.S. trustee (or bankruptcy administrator) has determined that there are insufficient approved agencies to provide the required counseling.
One of the primary purposes of bankruptcy is to discharge certain debts to give an honest individual debtor a “fresh start.” An individual debtor has no liability for discharged debts. In a Chapter 7 case, however, a discharge is only available to individual debtors, not to partnerships or corporations. Partnerships or corporations seeking Chapter 7 relief are limited to liquidation and cannot receive a discharge. If a partnership or corporations desire a discharge, they must proceed under Chapter 11. Although an individual Chapter 7 case usually results in a discharge of debts, the right to a discharge is not absolute, and some types of debts are not discharged. Moreover, a bankruptcy discharge does not extinguish a lien on property.

If I've learned anything about birth plans since becoming a mom it's that the best plan is to NOT have a plan. With my first son, I walked into labor & delivery on the big day with a detailed written birth plan in hand that basically said I wished to have a completely natural birth. 15 hours later this suddenly seemed like a terrible plan that was not for me. I asked for the epidural and proceeded to have a beautiful birth experience far different from the one I had planned. I walked into labor & delivery for the second time 18 months later confident that I knew how it would go this time. To my surprise after reaching 9cm dilated my cervix started to swell and close likely because of the positioning and size of my son's head. A c-section became medically necessary and I'm so thankful for modern medicine to help me bring my son into the world. Though that was far from the plan in my head, I was happy to have a healthy baby boy. When we decided to have our third child I knew that I wanted to TOLAC (trial of labor after cesarean) in hopes of having a VBAC (vaginal delivery after cesarean) but I also accepted that it may not be in my control as I had come to the conclusion that babies don't come out according to our plans. I understood that I was more likely to end up in the operating room than someone who had never had a c-section. With TOLAC there is a small risk of uterine rupture so doctors are more likely to move to a c-section sooner if there is any sign of distress throughout the process. I'm sharing my story because during the 9 months I spent wondering how this would turn out, I was constantly searching for stories of women that had attempted a VBAC.
I'm very fortunate that both my doctor and the hospital I deliver at support VBACs. This is not always the case for women that desire a VBAC leaving many women without the option at all. Many people still believe that once a cesarean, always a cesarean and may wonder why I would even want to go through labor knowing I had a higher chance of ending up back in the OR this time. Well, there are many reasons but above all I'm in love with the natural course of events that occur from going into labor spontaneously to the time of delivery and the golden hour after delivery. I find it fascinating that the baby decides when it's time to come and sets labor in motion. I had a hard time with the idea of us scheduling a c-section especially because my other boys came early which I think would make it hard to pick the right time. During delivery I didn't want to miss the chance for the baby to receive that awesome immune boosting bacteria as they travel through the birth canal. The trip through the birth canal also helps to naturally expel the amniotic fluid in their lungs which my second little one battled with for a few days after the c-section. But beyond the awesome list of events that happen during a vaginal delivery, I was hopeful for the opportunity to enjoy the golden hour with the baby. The first hour after birth where the baby is placed on their mother's chest is often thought of to be a "magical" time that should be honored, cherished and protected whenever possible because it provides such a long list of benefits to both baby and mom. These benefits include quickly normalizing baby's heart and breathing rates, quickly calming baby as they adjust to their new environment, a higher rate of successful breastfeeding, a lower risk of postpartum depression for mom, etc... The list goes on and unfortunately, I was very sick after my c-section with my second child and was not able to share that time with him. It is exciting that many hospitals are now seeing how beneficial this is and trying to make this hour possible even during c-sections but I feared that even if the hospital tried to make it work at my request I would be sick again. Now of course it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had another c-section but as long as there was a chance my baby and I could experience the natural course of events, I knew I had to try!
I carried this baby longer than my other children and got very anxious towards the end as the baby's growth scan predicted that he or she would be significantly larger than my others if I actually carried him or her to term. At 39 weeks and 4 days, I woke up to early contractions. This labor started out very slow but it really kicked into gear suddenly midway through the day and started progressing at a rapid pace. We had to get my parents to my house in a hurry to watch my boys. Because we got to the hospital later in the process than we had with my other labors I found myself in a panic worried that I would not receive the epidural before it was time for delivery.
I had never experienced contractions that far along in the process without the epidural and they were quite painful to say the least. As I mentioned I had already decided with my first that going all the way to the end without the epidural was not for me. I was fortunate to have both my husband and mom with me for support. And as I was freaking out, to put it mildly, I kept thinking of all of the women I know, including my mom, that have given birth without the epidural. Wow. That's strength & endurance, ladies. I've heard many people say labor without an epidural is like running a marathon. Well, I've run two full marathons in my life and no, it's not. In my opinion running a marathon is easier and I didn't even experience labor without the epidural all the way to the end. Lucky for me the anesthesiologist was able to get my epidural going when I was 8cm dilated with just enough time for me to get comfortable and quickly turn my panic into excitement. By the time I calmed down and pulled it together I was 10cm and they were calling my doctor to come. Wait what? It was time to push already and the "C" word hadn't even come up once?!?! Everything was moving so quickly, smoothly and naturally! My water broke on its own and I hadn't been given any pitocin or medical interventions other than the epidural. It started to set in that my dream was coming true. And on top of all of that we had waited to find out the gender which made these last few moments as we waited for the doctor to arrive that much more exciting! I was on cloud 9 and couldn't wait to meet my little one.
Rather than announcing the gender my doctor smiled and slowly turned the baby towards us. My husband, my mom and I all said at once "it's a girl!" which was immediately followed by tears and I very emotionally said "I got my girl." It's interesting that I said that because I spent my whole pregnancy content with either outcome as I do love being a boy mom but in that instant it felt like everything was exactly as it should be and I knew I was meant to have this precious girl. My husband was in shock, a very joyful shock. He was sure we would have another boy. And he was happily surprised that our last child was a precious little miss.
Interestingly enough, she ended up being smaller than my boys and way smaller than the growth ultrasound indicated. I was so thankful when I saw what a little peanut she was that I had chosen not to schedule a repeat c-section. Had we scheduled a c-section, I think we would have taken her out before she was really ready. There is no doubt in my mind that my little girl knew she needed to stay with me longer than her brothers and looking back I'm so glad that she did.
The nurse immediately put her on my chest where she stayed for over an hour. As we cuddled and she breastfed for the first time I felt an overwhelming rush of joy, love and peace. It's a feeling I will never ever forget. Everything and everyone else stood still and faded into the background. I soaked up every second of that very golden hour. It was perfect. It will stay with me forever.
I know I have a lot of exciting times ahead of me with my family and eventually my career again but I am already certain that my greatest accomplishments in life are the three beautiful children that my husband and I brought into this world.
It's been almost two weeks since our daughter came into our lives and I can't stop thinking about her birth and what an unforgettable experience it was. The one time I knew better than to expect things to go according to plan, they went better than I could have ever dreamed and I'm so glad I took a chance on a VBAC.

I was walking on a calm road. However, it ought to be a busy one, as it is right besides a busy ringroad. But this one is calm, you don't get to hear the honking of rash bus driven, its rare to spot a car or two. I am amongst the pedestrians who take resort to an evening walk everyday after work.
I know I come here to face my fear! To affirm that I am a brave girl. Of late I have observed myself facing my fears and this makes me feel high about myself. Ironically I feel that I am just being silly, nothing of this sort happens! Perhaps I am in love with this place, my accomplice for happy and sad times. When I am happy I want to take a long walk and celebrate my happiness with the trees and birds around. When I am sad I want to find a secluded corner to cry.
Today was a strange day. I woke up in the morning with someone knocking on the door of my room on opening it no one was there. While commuting a women passed by my car and on my shouting at her she gave a wicked smile to me, as if she wasn't scared of being hit by my car. The lift-man of the office building was a new guy who greeted me with a big smile, dressed like the doorman of five star hotels.
While this thought was crossing my mind, I saw a man coming towards me. He seem like a sensible gentleman in his early 40s. He sought me to guide him for the way to the ringroad. I was distracted from a self interrogation session. This is meant to be my me-time, I don't even take my mobile calls during this time. Irritated, I politely responded to his query to guide him a way to the ringroad. He seem confused and requested me to accompany him till the turn where it would be easier for me to help him locate the way.
Not wanting to walk towards the other end of the road with a stranger. I thought to start interacting with him. I have always been apprehensive about sharing my thoughts and vulnerability with someone known, as it would give them a means to for them to be judgemental. For the world, I am an introvert.
The gentleman introduced himself, I am Dr. Khocchar, I am a management professor at Harvard Business School. For a moment I was taken aback. HBS, well this is amongst the best b-schools in the world, rather the top most school. Ohh, I am Maanvi, I work as a researcher with Mc Kinsey!
I like this place, greenery and peace despite being a part of the national capital, he said.
Is it the first time you have come here? I asked.
He replied, yes, I was suppose to visit FMS, its good to come back to your country.
This being a campus area, I have been noticing a lot of billboards aimed at sensitising the youngsters about STDs, HIV, fighting eve teasers, and what not.... Is it actually safe? I have been reading quite a few things on Delhi being unsafe.
Yes its safe! I was be-dazed by his question. At least I have never noticed anything supernatural and I don't even want to, I thought.
Ohkkk... he seemingly was perturbed by my being stunned. Well its ought to be safe, I have seen police around, he was trying to get be back at ease.
I smiled at him and decided to share my vulnerability. I said actually you asking me this question took me off my senses. I took your question to a completely different connotation. I told him that I find this place unsafe and fear facing supernatural powers, but I still come here. He heard me with patience.
So you face your fear.. That's amazing, not many people can do it. I must say that you are a brave girl, this made me feel as it I am a kid and someone is telling me that I am the best! I just could not stop now, I started narrating all the instances and philosophies that I have about life and my fear. It was the time that we reached the corner of the road where we were suppose to part ways. He said that he would have loved to spend time with me, a brave girl!
Situation 1: He asked could we sit for some time together and talk about it. We sat roadside and discussed my philosophies with him. He was an amazing human being and I was no more an introvert. After an hour, he had to leave, we shared visiting cards and stayed in touch. He was someone who will remain unknown to me, but I have managed to have a pal to share my vulnerability with, without the fear of being judged.
Situation 2: Now however he had to leave as he had a to rush. Can we meet sometime in future, he asked while we exchanged cards. He promised to meet tomorrow and then vanished instantly in the air. He was a spirit... I was dead scared.
Situation 3: For today its not possible, I have to head for home. I notices a vendor staring at us. Can we meet tomorrow? He asked. Yes we can I said and we shook hands. We took our ways and looked back to pass the last glance for the day. He was not there. He perhaps vanished. I asked a vendor, where is the gentelman? He replied who gentelman. I have been noticing you talking to yourself. I was not scared, he perhaps we a ghost or an illusion. I plan to met him tomorrow. I know I am brave.
Author's Note: Which is the best situation of all... Please give your preference.

As the title will suggest "Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor Moore Story" is based on a true story that of Blanche Taylor Moore who was sentenced to the death penalty in 1991 for the murder of Raymond Reid. But Moore's story is not just about one murder as she tried to kill another and is suspected of having killed other men including her own father using arsenic to poison them.
Now "Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor Moore Story" starts with Elizabeth Montgomery as Blanche talking directly to the camera against a black background in an interview style, it is an element used further on in the made for TV movie where other characters deliver their own interview style segment. But what follows after that is a fire at Blanche's home where she says a pervert started it, a scene which seems strange unless you realise that this is part of the true story. And that is part of this TV Movie's problem as it plays out in such a way that it is made for those who already know her story and are interested in seeing it dramatized.
What goes on after that takes us through various elements of her story from being sexually harassed by her boss to the carrying on with two men at the same time. Of course as this plays out we eventually see scenes of Blanche poisoning the men in her life such as Raymond Reid who when he is admitted to hospital she brings in poisoned food for him to eat. Whilst the rest of Moore's story is readily available I will leave it there other than to state the obvious, whch is the fact she is eventually caught.
Now all of this is okay as whilst it is not a great TV movie there is something interesting to discovering the motives of why she killed the men in her life. But of course "Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor Moore Story" has one big issue and the title highlights this as there are not only other movies which feature Black Widow in the title but the theme of a killer wife is a common one. As such whilst this is based on a true story it actually plays out in quite a typical manner but with out the thrills which come from those movies which are a work of fiction.
As for the acting well to be honest "Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor Moore Story" is all about Elizabeth Montgomery as Blanche Taylor Moore and she is the best thing about the movie. Whilst her characterisation is a full on one with a strong accent she doesn't camp it up too much which thankfully helps to keep the movie grounded rather than becoming a soap opera.
What this all boils down to is that "Black Widow Murders: The Blanche Taylor Moore Story" is what I call an interesting TV movie purely because it is based on a true story. But it is nothing special and is ultimately forgettable.

You’ve worked your socks off to maintain high quality software in an agile environment. You’ve written, executed, and tracked many test cases. You may not be able to test everything perfectly, but you have to test the parts of the application that are most important. The stakes are too high for the application to fail.
A successful product launch is something to be proud of, so sit back for a minute and admire the fruits of your labour.
Done? Nope — Now it’s back to business.
Squeezing every bit of value out of your test case management software is something very few of us actually do. It’s very easy to call a close on proceedings once a product is launched, but there are still a few things you can do to turn your software testing from 90% to 100% effective.
Check out these seven helpful tips for becoming the ultimate QASymphony user below.
With large repositories of test artifacts, testers can become adrift within complex tree-structure hierarchies and lose precious time trying to locate assigned tasks. Our SQL based query tool can empower users with advanced searching capabilities to swiftly navigate through our database catalog structure. Additionally, the Criteria, Operator, Value, and Group clause format proves to be an extremely friendly user interface.
Testers can leverage the data query tool within the Requirements, Test Design, and Test Execution Modules to save custom as well as team queries for continued use. The data query view will also facilitate batch editing, approving, and converting actions.
Some additional support documentation on some more of the functional use cases of the data query tool can be found here.
In the above example, I first queried to see all the test cases that have been associated with a custom tag of “sanity” and then added a second clause to further filter the query to only include those sanity test cases that have been assigned to me! I can now save this query for later use and with one click, can quickly identify the sanity test I am responsible for.
When migrating data into qTest, for any number of reasons, the Import Wizard provides testers with a method to rapidly upload artifacts from an .xls based file format. The Import Wizard includes a generically structured file, which shows how custom field values, or unique properties can be mapped with artifacts during the import.
One additional aspect testers should be aware of, however, is the integrated capability to sort artifacts into predetermined folders or modules during a mass import. Rather than having to sort the artifacts into a more detailed module structure within the tool itself, the naming convention of the .xls sheets will dictate which the folder artifacts are filed into upon import.
Here is some detailed documentation around importing into specific modules for both requirements, and test cases.
While there are numerous advantageous aspects to our robust integration with JIRA that are consistently leveraged, testers can easily overlook the ability to maintain the requirement organization. This accidental oversight can require redundant, time consuming work. By simply identifying one or two fields from the drop downs in the integration settings, a tester can determine how the imported requirements will be pre-organized within the Requirements Module in qTest.
qTest offers another handy method to reduce redundancy in your work. Instead of manually building out test cycles and test suites to maintain granular organization of your test cases in the Test Execution area, simply toggle on the option to “Retain test design structure”. By enabling this feature, qTest will automatically build out test suites and cycles according to the architecture from the Test Design Module.
Another quick navigational trick within qTest is the ability to see the execution status and history directly from a test case or a module of test cases. From the right-click drop down menu, a tester can select “View Execution History” to be seamlessly transitioned to a custom data query view in the Test Execution module regarding the selected test cases.
With the release of our newest product, qTest Parameters, testers will see a significant reduction in redundant test case documentation. Testers quite often find themselves testing the same test case in a multitude of ways – for example, validating a scenario across 6 browser types. Instead of having to script out the same test case for each specific use case, qTest parameters will enable you to input variables directly into test steps. Then, when adding test cases for execution, a tester simply selects which value/s they wish to test!
Here are the full release notes for qTest Parameters, or learn more in this blog post.
Utilizing API’s can be an intimidating task for many testers. The acronym itself is synonymous with software and application engineering from a technical standpoint that many testers might assume falls within a knowledge gap.
While some qTest API’s require more of an in-depth technical knowhow, there are certainly API’s that can be leveraged for tasks such as linking test artifacts together, or inviting all users to a project with one click. Utilizing API’s can streamline tasks within qTest entirely. Some detailed documentation surrounding qTest’s API’s can be found here.

Which digital ads most positively impact your financial institution?
There are MANY different kinds of digital ads out there… including everything from programmatic placement of display ads, to Google Search Ads and Social Media boosted content.
But how can you really tell which of these types of ads work best for your Bank or Credit Union? Well here are five ways to measure results that will demonstrate the true impact of digital ads to your FI’s bottom line!
Looking at conversion rates is the first step to assessing how successful a digital ad campaign is. But there’s one key to accurately tracking conversions that many financial institutions struggle with… you have to be able to track a user all the way through the application process to the Thank You page (TYP). This way you can put your final conversion tracking code on this TYP and see exactly how many people started AND also finished your application or target conversion.
If your website works with third party application providers, who often make this type of tracking difficult or even impossible, we recommend that you create a Thank You Page on your site where you can place tracking code. Then you can send users back to this page AFTER they finish the application, even on a third-party site. Most of these application providers will allow for you to redirect traffic back to a chosen URL after the application is complete.
With accurate conversion tracking you will be able to see exactly how much you paid for each new application, which makes it easy to see if your campaign is running a positive return on investment (ROI).
In addition to setting up accurate conversion tracking, as explained above, it’s also important to compare one campaign to another. For example, we have found that capturing new leads tends to be much less expensive using social media ads, but these conversions are not always ready to purchase a financial product or open a new account.
So often they are what we call Top of the Funnel leads that need to be nurtured with emails and other useful content. Think of them as potential new customers or members who barely know the name of your credit union or community bank. You need to educate them about your mission and how you are different from the larger national financial institutions or online lenders.
Now when trying to track ROI of a digital campaign it’s also important to set goals around traffic, brand awareness, and the quality of new visitors. This is because not all leads from paid campaigns are going to convert immediately. And when they don’t these new customers or accounts won’t be easily trackable.
We recommend that you also analyze the quality of the paid traffic you’ve generated in addition to trackable conversions.
It is common for new visitors to your website to want to spend some time getting to know your brand, BEFORE they make a buying decision. This important brand awareness time should translate to lower bounce rates and increased time on page for those users who aren’t converting. So, set goals around these metrics as well to ensure that when people aren’t ready to buy immediately they are at least familiarizing themselves with your products and services.
Keep in mind that paid digital efforts can have impacts on many of areas of your business, from general branding to specific product conversions. You can use paid ads to drive new contacts or leads and to boost future organic traffic to a new page or content pillar page. All of these progress metrics have a place in a well-rounded marketing approach. So, make sure you define your objectives carefully when creating digital ad campaigns.
Finally, it’s important to measure lift during and AFTER your digital ads campaigns.
For example, if you are running a home equity loan ad promotion on Google AdWords you’ll need to take into consideration the closing timeframes for these products when assessing full impacts. If the typical home equity loan takes 45 days to close at your institution you should wait this amount of time AFTER the campaign ends to fully close any remaining loans that have come in, BEFORE you measure the final lift to home equity revenue.
Likewise, we suggest using paid search ads to help boost organic results for pages, and you so you should look at the organic lift of traffic to a target page during the campaign but also for 1-2 months after the campaign is over to see if you’ve achieved your goals.
Our final recommendation with digital ads is to constantly reassess and remain agile in your approach. With budgeting for the year, give yourself a pool of digital ad funds to work with, but then remain flexible as to what specific areas you will focus spending and be willing to try new approaches when you see results beginning to wane.

I finished proofing Centenary Separation, and hopefully caught every typo (but I wouldn’t bet on it – they’re slippery little buggers.) And I made a couple little tweaks based on the feedback I’ve gotten. Now I’m really happy with the finished book.
Regarding Slowpocalypse Book 3, I’m still undecided about how I should organize the chapters and POVs – but that can (and probably should) wait until after I’ve finished writing the story (and have a better idea how best to tell it.) So for now I’m just going to write it like the previous books, one POV per chapter.
Last week I wrote the prologue (Verity) and chapter 1 (Kat) and this week I wrote chapters 2-4. Which are David, Tony, and Caroline, respectively. Of course, any of that may change when I get to the rewrite.

Dual language programs which mainly provide a curriculum in two different languages are on the rise in the United States. These programs mainly consist of an English taught curriculum, along with a secondary curriculum that is taught in a second language. These types of programs have really become popular over the past few years due to the fact that they offer students many different benefits both; short term and long term.
Believe it or not, but these programs are flourishing despite the fact that other types of bilingual education are on the outs. In fact, in 2000, there were around 260 schools providing dual language programs. What is outstanding is that the number of these programs offered in different schools has increased by amazing numbers. The amount of dual language programs being offered around the country is estimated at just over 2,000. More incredibly, 300 of them are in the state of New York.
Questions and Answers: What does research say?
The most popular dual programs being offered in the United States are in English and Spanish as read in many different articles on education issues. Although an interest in Chinese as a second dual language has become a popular choice as of late. Also, French has crept in there, as well.
Whichever language is used or taught will largely depend on the different types of education models are chosen. Some programs offer mix and match classes with one being taught in English and another on a different day being taught in a foreign language. Whereas, others offer the students the ability to take dual languages from subject to subject.
There are many different ways to learn a new language and culture. However, the dual language program has proved time and time again that it is one of the most effective ways of teaching and learning a new foreign language and culture.
In a dual language program, the English learners are grouped with different English speakers in order to learn all types of content taught in schools in two different languages. How it works in 1 way dual language courses is that the class is made up of mostly English speakers/learners with the entire instruction given in English and (usually) Spanish.
Most of the people that are advocates of dual language programs say that these programs are more effective at educating different types of students than other programs. These programs typically produce better results for language acquisition and cultural growth. A lot of people say that students learn a lot in their native language. It is really about learning the content that they are teaching and the different students transition into a new language as the course progresses.
Another benefit to this particular program is that these programs can be very cost effective. This is due to the fact that dual language programs can reach those students that need to increase literacy efficiency within the confines of a traditional classroom. Another advantage is that studies have shown that these types of programs are more effective at closing the educational performance/achievement gap than other bilingual type of programs. In these programs, the foreign language students scored better than those in other bilingual programs. Another benefit is that most studies show that learning one’s native language first when they are really developing reading and comprehension skills in turn increased their ability to learn in their respective foreign language.
The disadvantage is that this type of program needs a lot of start up capital. With that being said, a ton of grant money needs to be raised in order to effectively open up a dual language school/program. Not to mention, finding teachers that are bilingual can be extremely challenging, as well.
These schools are becoming ever so popular because the students and parents are seeing the real life benefits of them. Not only are their students learning new languages which give them more keys to talk to different people from different types of life, but it also helps improve concentration, reading comprehension, and overall confidence. These programs are excellent for kids and parents that simply want to get more from their education. It is a good thing to consider when you are focusing on choosing the right school and/or program for your son and/or daughter.
As you can see, there are plenty of things to think about when deciding whether or not to implement or utilize a dual language learning program. There are many advantages and disadvantages to consider when making a decision. The bottom line is, if you want to learn two languages, it has been proven to be one of the most effective ways of doing so. It is important to look at all of the evidence going both directions and choose whichever option you feel most comfortable with. If you have a dual language learning program near you, it might make sense to go for it. We hope you enjoy our articles on education issues.

The issues of proportionality and recoverability of additional liabilities were brought to the forefront on 3 June 2016 in the judgment handed down by Master Gordon-Saker in the case of BNM v MGN Limited  EWHC B13 (Costs).
At the part heard Detailed Assessment hearing in November 2015 following the line by line assessment, the Master assessed costs at £167,389.45, including an ATE premium of £61,480.00.
The Defendant argued that these sums were disproportionate and should be reduced further. Master Gordon-Saker sided with the Defendant concluding that the sums which had been allowed as reasonable in the first instance were disproportionate and were approximately twice the sum which would be proportionate.
At the adjourned hearing in April 2016, the Master applied the new test of proportionality and considered the factors under CPR 44.3, reducing total costs to the sum of £83,964.80 and the ATE premium to £30,000.00. Apart from the court fee, each of the individual items of costs was reduced by about one half.
In paragraph 21 of his judgment, Master Gordon-Saker observed that on an assessment of costs on the standard basis, proportionality should prevail over reasonableness. He commented that the court should first make an assessment of reasonable costs, having regard to the individual items in the bill, the time reasonably spent on those items and the other factors listed in CPR rule 44.5(3). The court should then stand back and consider whether the total figure is proportionate. If the total figure is not proportionate, the court should make an appropriate reduction. He concluded by stating that when applying the new test of proportionality the court need not consider the amount of any additional liability separately from the base costs.
As a result of this judgement it now appears that the test of proportionality applies to those cases where additional liabilities remain recoverable on an inter partes basis. Further this case provides some interesting guidance in relation to the application of the new test of proportionality, which thus far has been an area where there has been a lack of clarity.

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Senior Kimberly Zuccaro (Townsend, Mass.) scored a game-high four goals and added four draw controls, three ground balls and two caused turnovers to lead Plymouth State University to a 17-1 win over the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in a Little East Conference (LEC) women's lacrosse game at Kennedy Field at the New Hampton School on Saturday morning.
Plymouth State stops its two-game skid to even its record at 5-5 and remain unbeaten in the LEC (3-0). The Panthers have won nine straight LEC regular season contests and 14 of its last 15. The Corsairs drop their third straight to fall to 4-8 and 0-3 in league play.
UMass Dartmouth struck first on a free position goal just over three minutes into the game, but PSU responded with 17 unanswered goals to run away with a win in the team's home opener.
* It was the visitors that drew first blood as junior Sam Muir (Sturbridge, Mass.) scored her 36th goal of the year on a free position shot just over three minutes in.
* The lead was short-lived, as junior Sam Fiore (Merrimac, Mass.) evened the game two minutes later and classmate Sydney Dubois (Goffstown, N.H.) put the Panthers in front 7:10 into the game.
* Zuccaro picked up her first of the game and Fiore made it 4-1 just 13 seconds later, before Dubois made good on a free position attempt.
* Senior Sarah Thompson (Hooksett, N.H.) notched the first of her three goals midway through the half, and senior Veronyca Daniels (Concord, N.H.) scored a pair of goals a minute apart as PSU pushed the lead to 8-1.
* Zuccaro added a free position goal with 10:12 left in the half, before freshman Hannah Chartier (Weare, N.H.) got into the action with a man-down goal four minutes later.
* Dubois and Thompson closed the first half scoring to give the hosts a 12-1 lead heading into the break.
* The Panthers' offense eased off in the second half. Sophomore Elizabeth McLaughlin (Melvin Village, N.H.) scored in the opening minute and Zuccaro tallied her third and fourth goals of the game.
* Junior Lissa Perry (Salem, N.H.) notched her first of the season with 11 minutes remaining and Thompson completed the hat trick to close the scoring two minutes later.
* Thompson finished with three goals and an assists and Dubois also recorded a hat trick.
* Fiore and Daniels each scored twice and added an assist, while Perry recorded her first multi-point game of the year with a goal and two assists.
* Senior Emilee Wargo (Madison, Conn.) picked up her first win of the year (1-1) after making three saves. Her counterpart, senior Kaitlyn Burchill (Bridgewater, Mass.) was peppered with 28 shots, finishing with 11 saves to drop to 3-6.
* Plymouth State owned a 29-14 advantage in ground balls and outshot the Corsairs by a 36-8 margin.
* PSU finished 19-of-20 in clear attempts.
"After giving up that first goal we just needed to stay the course," said head coach Sandy Bridgeman. "After that it came together. We really focused in on what we wanted to do defensively and in other areas of the game. Our focus has been keep improving, keep getting better, and I feel like that's what we're doing."
* PSU hosts the University of Southern Maine in another league game on Wednesday (Apr. 17) at the New Hampton School at 7:00 p.m.
* The Corsairs are also in conference play on Wednesday (Apr. 19) as they host Rhode Island College at 7:00 p.m.

In this article, we highlight the current legal situation for the use of drones in Denmark.
In Denmark, the legislation for multicopters has been tackled differently than most other countries. In Denmark, the regulations are subdivided into built-up and undeveloped areas according to the area of application.
The built-up areas include all areas that are used for living, for leisure or for commercial purposes. As examples of inhabited areas, the Danish aviation authority cites sports halls, camping sites, harbors, and industrial facilities. Also, parks, beaches and other areas that are directly connected to an inhabited area must be counted to this area.
Drone flights in built-up areas are only permitted with a drone license for a commercial purpose. Thus, such maneuvers can only be carried out after training in Denmark. Hobby pilots may allow their drone to rise only in undeveloped regions.
Micro-drones: drones weighing up to 250 grams and a maximum airspeed of 50 km / h.
Small drones: Multicopters weighing more than 250 grams and less than 25 kilograms.
The most common drones such as the DJI Mavic Air or the DJI Spark fall into the category of small drones.
With the exception of micro-drones, all multicopters must be registered in Denmark (here in the English language). After registering you will receive a registration number which you must attach to the drone along with your name and telephone number.
In addition to registering, you will also need to pass an online Drone Awareness Accreditation test to prove your ability and knowledge of the legal situation.
After registering as a drone pilot in Denmark and proving your skills, you must comply with the following requirements.
Maximum flight altitude: The maximum flight altitude in Denmark is 100 meters above ground in rural regions. There is a limit of 120 meters in cities.
Maximum horizontal distance and FPV: Flights are only permitted within the visual line of sight.
Compulsory insurance: For Denmark, you need drone insurance valid in the country, which will cover for possible damages of third parties. The policy must cover damages of at least 900,000 euros.
Maximum take-off weight (MTOW): Drones are allowed to take off in Denmark up to a weight of 25 kilograms. From 7 kg upwards mass applies a minimum age of 16 years.
Distance to airports: You have to keep 5 kilometers distance to civil airports and 8 kilometers to military airports.
Other safe distances: Denmark has defined a whole range of safety distances.
50 meters to manned ships, boats and offshore installations (does not apply to micro-drones).
50 meters to uninvolved persons (does not apply to micro-drones).
100 meters to buildings without the consent of the authorized persons (does not apply to micro-drones).
150 meters to government buildings, embassies, police stations, prisons, probation facilities, military facilities, and similar facilities.
150 meters to police and emergency services.
150 meters to public highways and built-up area (does not apply to micro-drones).
Flight bans: Flights over densely populated areas – including campsites – are only allowed for commercial pilots. Restricted areas can be checked in this map. The map is also available as an app (Droneluftrum by Naviair) on Google Play and iTunes.
Flight approval: In all weight categories, you must apply for a drone license from the Danish Transport and Construction Agency, if you want to fly in a built area. For the approval, you must attend a class, pass tests, and demonstrate a practice of 24 flights with 4 hours of flight time in the last year.
Time of operations: Night flights in settled areas are permitted only with special permission. In nature, night flights are allowed.
Specific regulations: A minimum age of 18 years is required for flights in developed regions. Such maneuvers must also be documented in a flight book and kept for at least two years. Drone users younger than 12 years must be supervised by an elderly person.
Regulations for commercial pilots: Commercial pilots must continue their education at an accredited company. From these training companies, you will receive a kind of drone license. Approved drone schools are listed here.
Good to know: Although Greenland and the Faroe Islands are part of Denmark, the rules described in this article do not apply to these areas. Currently, these regulations from 2004 are legally binding for these regions.
We have researched the listed drone regulations for Denmark to the best of our knowledge. We can not guarantee the correctness of the information. If you want to be on the safe side, please contact the competent aviation authority. Alternatively, you can also ask the embassy in your country for further information about the regulations. Please leave us a comment when you receive news and/or gain experience with your copter in Denmark!
I will go to Greenland this summer to embarq on a sailboat. I will take a flight from Copenhagen to Upernavik . Do I need specific authorization to take my Mavic Pro in my cabin bag?
Hey there, I wanted to clarify the following: I will be traveling to Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and will be bringing my drone with me. I am keen on using the drone only in Sweden and Norway but will be flying into Denmark Airport and traveling to the Sweden and Norway via Eurail. Having said that, do I still need to register my drone in Denmark if I will not use it? Can you please advise? Thanks!
I think you do not need the registration if you’re drone stays in the backpack.
Hi Francis, great blog! I was wondering. I’m going to the Faroe Islands next summer and will stop two nights in Copenhagen before taking the plane to the islands, but do not intend to fly my Mavic Air in Copenhagen. Do I need any kind of permit? Also, for the Faroes, they say you MUST HAVE an INSURANCE for your drone. Do you know anything about that?
You may take your drone with you in Denmark as long it´s for private use, or else you have to contact a forwarder and then they can help you.
Hi Sam, thanks a lot for taking the time to answer me. I think I’ll have no problems with the Air. Besides, I don’t intend to fly it in Copenhagen, only the Faroes. The Faroes regulation do say you have to have an ‘insurance’ for your drone. I’ve read other people say that had no issues entring the country with a drone, so maybe it is also just a formal regulation no one follows. Thanks a lot and cheers from Rio.
Have you made your trip to the Faroe Islands yet? I am heading there next month an wantr to take my drone but trying to figure out the rules/laws. I too will not be flying in Copenhagen only in Faroe.
Hey buddy, When i’m trying to fulfill the fields for registering, it doesn’t shows Denmark as country.
Is that really right way to proceed?
I’m coming to Copenhagen within December and i have a DJI Marvic Air, so what do i need to fly the drone in the city area.
I am planning to buy an rc plane from hobbyking and wanted to know the rules of flying in copenhagen?
Do I need to register for a license?
The total weight of the aircraft is 3kg.
Hi Everyone, I’m going to Copenhagen this weekend and wanted to take my Mavic 2 Pro. We will be staying in Hellerup and visiting Nyhavn, Frederiksberg and Norreport. I did the test but if I read it correctly I can’t fly my drone anywhere in central Copenhagen because the areas I mention above are all inhabited areas. But I also checked the Naviair map and it doesn’t show any restrictions in Hellerup.
Dear Francis, I went through the BL9-4_uk which according to your blog still applys for Greenland. I am planning to use my small drone there in summer. I am not sure whether I need a drone registration for Greenland or not. Could you help out?
My drone had small accident in Denmark and now flies only on 45 degrees up, and it doesn´t fly straight up 90 anymore, wanted to ask, can you recommend where I could fix it? Fast and Cheap?

Loretta Butler-Turner in the House of Assembly.
AS REBUILDING efforts begin to take shape in Long Island, area representative Loretta Butler-Turner held the second in a series of town meetings, working to ensure that all concerns raised by residents are heard.
Speaking to a crowd of nearly 50 locals at North Long Island High school in Simms, Mrs Butler-Turner insisted that despite the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Joaquin, Long Island will recover.
Flanked by the island’s deputy administrator,Terrece Bottle-Bethel, and Department of Social Service’s representative, Salomie Gibson, Mrs Butler-Turner heard the island’s northern residents speak openly about their concerns for the future.
Residents told The Tribune that while they are beginning to take steps to repair their homes and properties, they have some concerns with the government’s proposed 90-day exigency order.
She questioned: “How can you expect us to replace all of these things in such a short period of time?” She suggested the extension should be for two years.
Prime Minister Perry Christie signed an exigency order two weeks ago in response to the urgent need for specified goods required for recovery and rebuilding, waiving the import duties on those items for 90 days. There have been several calls already to extend the period.
The order covers relief of residents in Acklins, Cat Island, Crooked Island, Exuma, Inagua, Long Cay, Long Island, Mayaguana, Rum Cay, Ragged Island, Samana Cay and San Salvador which suffered hardship or loss as a result of Hurricane Joaquin, and whose claims/applications in respect of such goods are certified by the director of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
The import of goods specified is permitted for a period of 90 days, beginning October 3.
In reference to motor vehicles, exemption will be based on the market value of the vehicle destroyed on the date of the hurricane, the government said. The destroyed vehicle must be turned over to the authority of the Customs Department.
The government has also declared the waiver of landing fees, departure tax for non-commercial flights bringing in relief goods, and Customs processing fees on imports in the above-mentioned islands for a period of one month, commencing October 3.
The islands of Acklins, Crooked Island, and Long Cay have been declared sufferance port areas for a period of three months, also commencing October 3.
Meanwhile, Mrs Butler-Turner moved to clarify issues surrounding the storm’s timeline as it related to Long Island.
She said Long Island had started to feel weather conditions associated with the system as early as Tuesday evening, roughly a day prior to any warnings that were issued by government officials.
“I got calls on Wednesday evening from residents telling me of sea swells, high tides and strong winds,” she said.
She added that by the time an official warning was issued early Thursday, the island of Long Island was already in the preliminary throes of the massive category four storm.
Reports presented by Mrs Butler-Turner indicated that the island at that time was experiencing 170mph winds, with sustained winds of 200mph and wind gust up to 220mph.


text: The House of Representatives today passed House Resolution (HR) 5074, the FHA Reform Act, which establishes a handful of new Federal Housing Administration (FHA) regulations and authorities. The FHA insures approved lenders against default-related losses on qualifying mortgages. In addition to strengthening the FHA's capital base by raising mortgage insurance premiums, the bill aims to crack down on FHA-approved lenders. For example, the bill grants FHA the authority to terminate a lender's approval on a national basis due to the performance of regional branches.

You’ve heard that “You can’t keep a good man down.” We’d like to add that you can’t make a good woman sit still. The Picky Peaches have been on the go again, checking out more yummy places to eat and fun things to do for the 8th installment in the brand-new, Peaches on the Road Series. This time, we headed to one of the most beautiful and most popular tourist destinations in the U.S.A., Savannah, Georgia.
Whoa! Wait! Before you start thinking, “been there, done that”, we want to assure you this wasn’t “yo’ momma’s Savannah trip”. No Paula Deen. No Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room. No Pirates’ House. Those are all fine establishments, but we wanted something different. Join us as we visit the “new” Savannah while still enjoying the charm of the old, historic Savannah. Our first stop is The Wyld. Its setting, atmosphere and food are Instagram-worthy. Plus, the food and drinks taste as good as they look.
Based on feedback from the first Peaches on the Road Series, we’re going to give you an itinerary for your visit to Savannah so that you’ll be able to copy our trip as closely as possible, or just choose the things that look appealing to you. We arrived mid-afternoon on Friday and left mid-afternoon on Sunday. Whether you go for a weekend, or just a few hours on your way along I-95, this grand, old city truly has something for everyone.
Established in 1733, by General James E. Oglethorpe, Savannah sits at the mouth of the Savannah River on the Atlantic Coast near the Georgia-South Carolina border. It became a major port for cotton shipment, and during the Civil War, the city was the prime objective of General William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea. To save their beloved city from destruction Savannah authorities surrendered on December 21, 1864 and General Sherman presented it to President Abraham Lincoln as a Christmas gift!! Were they out of cigars? Neckties? Seriously though, we are so thankful that Savannah was saved. The jaw-dropping mansions, and Spanish moss draped trees surrounding the shady squares with their gurgling fountains are just part of Savannah’s allure. There are charming antique shops, trendy boutiques, souvenir shops, candy stores, interesting tours and fabulous restaurants. So pack your comfy walking shoes and prepare to have fun!
Friday Afternoon. Check into your hotel. Either head straight into the historic district to look around or stay at the hotel to unwind after the long drive.
Friday Evening. Head to The Wyld for a relaxing, casual, outdoor dinner. You’ll definitely need to use a GPS or Waze to find it. It will take you through a residential area and then you’ll see a clearing and a rustic sign. The pavement will end as you enter the narrow, gravel parking lot. We suggest that you back into a parking space, if at all possible. It will make getting out of the lot so much easier. If you arrive by boat, the parking seems to be a bit simpler. We’re not kidding, there’s dock parking for those who arrive by boat.
If you don’t want to wait for a table, get there before 7 p.m. If you can’t make it that early, or you just like to eat later, no worries. There are plenty of activities designed to make your wait more enjoyable. As you approach the restaurant, you’ll notice that it’s situated on docks built over the picturesque marsh. Then you’ll begin to feel the fun, relaxing vibe oozing from the property. Bocce ball, darts, hammock, porch-type swings, fire pit and live music are all designed for relaxing and socializing.
The Wyld is situated on an off shoot of the Herb River in the marshes with an almost triangular dining pier jutting into the water. We were fortunate enough to be seated almost at the point of the pier. Even though it could easily have been a humid, muggy July night in Savannah, it was shockingly pleasant with occasional breezes off the water. Well-positioned fans blowing throughout the outdoor dining area helped keep the no see-ums away. Overhead string lights, umbrellas and an outdoor bar area added to the ambiance. The menu is as fresh and creative as the atmosphere with an emphasis on fresh seafood.
If you have to wait for a table, go ahead and order a cocktail from their extensive list. The Gin Basil Smash is made with gin, lemon, fresh basil and sugar. It’s light and refreshing. You could call it adult lemonade. Yummy!
For those of you who enjoy more adventurous libations, try the Walk Before You Fly.
Our server told us that it’s one of their most popular drinks and we can certainly see why. This powerful mixture of gin, lemon, Creme de Framboise and lavender bitters should be savored slowly. The bartender is very generous.
Start with a savory appetizer such as the Hummus. This tasty treat isn’t made with chickpeas. Instead, they use things that are local and in season. The main ingredient on our visit was field peas. They were combined with green garlic, robust olive oil and charred onion and topped with a smattering of feta cheese. Served with warm, buttered pita. Careful, or you’ll eat the entire serving before you know it and we know you want to save room for your entree.
The appetizer section of the menu contains such a nice variety of dishes, that it’s not only possible, but very easy to order a couple of appetizers, instead of an entree, and be perfectly satisfied. Start with the Watermelon Salad. Yes, we know it’s a summertime staple, but not like this one. It was an explosion of sweet (watermelon), salty (feta), tangy (vinaigrette), crunchy (arugula), and a spicy, little kick (tiny bits of jalapeño). The light vinaigrette has a uniquely refreshing, bold flavor. It’s, quite simply, a perfect summer salad. Bonus! It’s gluten-free. It could also be dairy-free if you ask them to hold the feta.
Another delicious appetizer is the Crab Cake served on a bed of arugula with a grain mustard remoulade. Made with blue crab, celery, onion, Cajun remoulade and lemon, it’s cooked to be crispy on the outside while moist in the center. Notice that we didn’t mention bread crumbs. That’s because it seemed to be at least 95% crab meat. Order the Watermelon Salad to go with this and you’ve got a perfect, light, hot-weather meal.
If you’re hungry enough for an entrée, the Steamed Banana Leaf Fish Tacos are delectable. The fish is steamed inside the banana leaf with spicy tomato jam. It’s served with warm tortillas, basil and dill chimichurri sauce, and a bowl of seasoned black beans. The tomato jam is more smoky than spicy. The fish is moist and tender. It’s so good! Assembly required. If you’re counting carbs or you’re looking for something gluten free, it’s still a delicious meal without the tortillas.
Please save room for dessert. The Fruit Brûlée was like no other brûlée’ we’ve ever eaten. No eggs were harmed in the making of this brûlée as there is no custard involved. What a clever idea! In the height of fresh fruit season, it was simply glazed peaches, pineapple, and blackberries, topped with vanilla ice cream, then garnished with blackberry coulis. This was our favorite dessert, so far. We could eat one right now.
Note: If you have food allergies or sensitivities, question every dish before you order.
As we were enjoying the scenery, we noticed a sign that read, “Use Idle Speed – protect the manatees”. So, there must be manatees in the area at certain times of the year.
The Wyld, 2740 Livingston Avenue, Savannah, GA 31406.
Hours: Tuesday – Thursday 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.; Friday 5 p.m. – 10 p.m.; Saturday 12 p.m. – 10 p.m.; Sunday 12 p.m. – 9 p.m.; Closed Monday.
Friday Night. Head back to your hotel for a late-night swim. Whether your hotel pool is indoor or outdoor, there’s nothing so relaxing as time in the water. Get a good night’s sleep. Saturday is going to be a very busy day.
Saturday morning. Enjoy breakfast in your hotel. Then head to the River Street District to see one of the busiest ports in the U. S. Wander through the boutiques and antiques shops on Factors Walk before heading down the stairs or elevator to the tourist-packed shops along River Street. Schedule a historic home tour for the afternoon or just wander around the historic district.
Join us next week when we step back in time to a wonderful Savannah landmark for lunch and a great place for shopping!
← Covington? NO. . . . Coving-Wood!
You, my dear friends, are awesome – and you make me laugh!!! Another really fun adventure!

Foreign Policy by Congress. By Thomas M. Franck and Edward Weisband, New York and Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1979. Pp. ix, 357. $15.95.
If the complex litigation in Goldwater v. Carter provides no other clear lesson, it is a convincing demonstration that much of the constitutional law governing executive-legislative relations remains confused and ill-defined. With the Supreme Court's refusal to adjudicate the issue on the merits, the power to terminate treaties is consigned to a constitutional terra incognita where the boundaries of power must be achieved by de facto institutional practice rather than by legal theorizing. Whether this is a wise exercise of "the passive virtues" is open to dispute. It is, however, the way that the American political system has chosen to handle a number of salient problems in executive-legislative relations--problems such as the power of the President under the guise of "executive privilege" to withhold information from Congress, the limits of presidential war-making power, and a host of others. Insofar as such disputes between Congress and the Executive Branch reach the courts, they characteristically are analyzed in terms of jurisdictional concepts Csuch as standing, ripeness, justiciability, and the political question doctrine) that avoid, or at least camouflage, the underlying substantive issues. Yet is is not inappropriate that these cases so often raise these jurisdictional issues, for the core problem in such disputes is evaluating the institutional capacities of the various organs of the national government. Indeed, reluctance to evaluate or confusion about how to evaluate the institutional capacities of Congress and the presidency accounts for much of the incoherence of the constitutional law of executive-legislative relations. It is in this context that Franck and Weisband's Foreign Policy by Congress is to be recommended to any serious student of Goldwater v. Carter, for whatever legal principles finally come to govern the power to terminate treaties must, if they are to be viable, be founded on the underlying realities of presidential and congressional power. Thus such disputes must ultimately be evaluated in light of how good Congress actually is at making foreign policy, and it is to this subject that Franck and Weisband address themselves.
