Fired Vampire Diaries writer takes to Kindle Worlds for revenge
by Nick Davies
When Amazon announced last year that it was launching Kindle Worlds, a vehicle for the website to publish and make money from fan fiction, we here at Moby Lives mocked the venture and its cynical motives. But one disgruntled author has managed to turn the system to suit her needs and stick it to the company that fired her from the popular YA series she created.
L.J. Smith is the original author of The Vampire Diaries, a popular supernatural series that spawned a TV series by the same name. Aja Romano writes for the Daily Dot that after being fired from writing the books by Alloy Entertainment, she started using Kindle Worlds to continue publishing the series in an unofficial capacity, as she envisioned it. “I never imagined that while I wanted and was eager to write these books the carpet could be yanked out beneath me,” Smith said in an interview for Bookalicious in 2011. “I did agree that someday, after I’d written my fill of Vampire Diaries, if vampires were still in fashion, a ghostwriter could continue the series. But of course I assumed I’d be able write the endgame.”
But, as Romano lays out, a contract with a big company like Alloy means that they own the intellectual property, and they typically seek out “young, inexperienced writers who get seduced by the lure of working with a powerful entertainment arm, and don’t realize what it means not to own the property you’re working on.” And when Alloy decided they wanted the Vampire Diaries books to be more like the TV show, they cut the author loose in favor of a ghostwriter who, per Smith, barely knows the books and the world she’s built in them.
With Kindle Worlds offering opportunities to work for-hire creating fan fiction, though, Smith seized on the opportunity to continue writing the books she loved. While the service has restrictions on what can be published — writers have to adhere to guidelines set by the rights holders, and they won’t run any smut — Smith has found them easy enough to comply with. As Romano puts it, “you won’t find any of the more racy or edgy kinds of fanfiction on Kindle Worlds’ color-within-the-lines model of fic writing: but then Smith created the lines to begin with.”
Since taking to Amazon to publish her work, Smith has put out two new titles in an arc she calls Evensong: Paradise Lost and War of the Roses (with one more chapter of that trilogy planned before she offers up her series conclusion). Labeled as “fanfic based on the Vampire Diaries book series—also by L. J. Smith,” the books are currently sitting pretty at #1 and #2 on the Kindle Worlds teen and young adult lists; so it seems that for now, the author is having the last laugh.

KUWAIT CITY: The Civil Service Commission (CSC) plans to freeze 3,108 contracts of expatriates by July 1 to make way for the Kuwaiti ministries and government institutions to recruit Kuwaitis, reports Al- Rai daily.
The move is part of the government’s strategy to give Kuwaitis more employment opportunities. This comes on the heels of demands by several MPs who have been pushing the government to rely less on expatriate labor.
In November, the CSC, which is responsible for all public sector employment, told all public departments to submit their plans to replace expatriates with Kuwaitis as part of a national drive to cut down on the rate of unemployment among Kuwaitis. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it needed some time to respond to the queries while the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor said that it was just waiting for the formal signatures. However, the Ministry of Education, with its high number of foreign teachers and staff, has yet to respond to the queries or to ask for some time, the daily added, citing unidentified sources.
The CSC said that the number of job vacancies, based on the requests submitted to it by the different public sectors and departments, was 4,365 in 2018.
The figure meant with 3,108 jobs being vacant at the end of June, Kuwait will have more than 7,400 employment opportunities for Kuwaitis.
In the first 10 days of April, 3,001 Kuwaitis had applied for public sector jobs, a majority of them women with 2,067 applications. Most applications (2,558) were for jobs in the Ministry of Education while the lowest figures were one for the Ministry of Defence and one for the Ministry of Oil.
Most Kuwaitis prefer government jobs over private jobs because of job security since they cannot be fired except in some extreme cases. It is also because of less work pressure, flexible timings, short working hours and more holidays.
According to government labor statistics released in 2016, up to 58 per cent of Kuwaitis refused to work in the private sector and would rather wait for an opening in the public sector. According to recent statistics 345,100 Kuwaitis work in the public sector or 76.8 per cent of the total Kuwaiti labor force.

A new breed of military planners has emerged from the military logistics school, making a career of military planning.
The graduates of the Military University of Ireland are now the most sought after in the world, said Dr David McBride, the military commander in charge of logistics operations in the Republic of Ireland.
He said it was the culmination of a new generation of logistics students who were brought in to help build the new defence and security capabilities of the Republic.
They came from the ranks of the Army, Navy and Air Force, he said.
They have become the go-to people in the US, Europe, Russia and China, and the rest of the world.
I think there’s an opportunity here, he added.
The first batch of graduates came from an elite group of graduates who had graduated from the Army R&D college, with a concentration in air logistics.
“It is not a typical college, in terms of the coursework,” said Dr McBride.
“It’s an elite environment, but it’s very similar to a university.”
The students will be in the military and will be very involved in operational areas.
“They will also be involved in logistics and logistics management.
They will be responsible for getting their team of people in place.”
These guys are really exceptional.
They are going to make a lot of money, I can guarantee you of that.
“Dr McBride said the new graduates had been trained in a variety of fields and had been working in the United States, Europe and Russia for the past six years.
He said he expected the graduates to make an impact on a range of military operations in coming years.”
I expect they will go on to go on into roles that are relevant to the future of the defence industry in terms to logistics,” he said, “as well as in the area of defence research and development.
“Dr David McArthur was the Army commander in the Netherlands, and now lives in Dublin with his wife, Joanne.
The couple have two children.
The students were able to learn a lot about the job they were going into, Dr McArthur said.”
We were very lucky,” he added, “because we were able learn a fair bit about what they were up against and what we were looking for in terms.
“Our job is to train our soldiers in the use of logistics and military management, and we were very fortunate to be able to do that.”
At the end of the day, the key thing is that the students were good, and they got the job done.
“The students started their coursework at the Army Reserve R&d college, a college of which the Royal Dublin Garrison is a member.
During the course, they learned about everything from the importance of proper logistics planning to the importance and the importance to the people on the ground in terms, he explained.”
There is an element of preparation, and a lot is done in the course and in the preparation.
“There are a lot more people involved than we had anticipated.”
The students, who are now graduating, are now part of a larger group of military professionals who have been trained by the University of Limerick, which runs the military academy in Dublin.
Dr McArthur has said that this group will be able take on a larger role in the future.
“This is an important stage of the job,” he told The Irish Sun.
For the next 10 years, the students will study at the Defence Innovation Lab, a small military university based in Dublin, as part of an initiative which is designed to develop and test new ways of using the digital economy.
“With this we will build on the strengths and capabilities of what we have learned in the past, and build on them further,” he explained, “and be able make a big difference to our service.”
He added that the future military graduates will continue to be challenged, and that it was essential that they knew how to work with people and to have a plan.
“One of the things we have to do is to get the best possible work experience,” he concluded.

“What exactly?” he looked at her, mind cocking to 1 aspect adorably.
Seeing that Gavriel at the very least looked somewhat more effective at what he observed, the duchess sighed in reduction. She believed that Gavriel had not been just loathing himself at the moment for sipping their own wife’s blood stream, but he was also thinking about what he would do considering that his wife’s blood vessels was not anymore natural. He need to have been agonising over the truth that Dacria and elsewhere during this empire was will no longer safe for his better half ever since she was bitten.

“You’re eventually awake… my wife,” he was quoted saying, his speech was emotionally charged as she could detect a little waver inside it since he spoke.
Blushing, she removed her tonsils and delivered her eyeballs back to his. “The span of time have I been resting?”

Gavriel blinked but after several instances, his vision glimmered wickedly. “Why? Could it be as you don’t want another girl viewing me half naked? Would be that the instance, partner?”
“Can there be other things which you may be needing?” he requested, nonetheless looking at her with quite concerned eyes.

The outlines in Gavriel’s forehead deepened. He wished for additional outline. “This can be apparently among the list of noble family’s top secret. Right here is probably the books that the mommy entrusted into my ownership for safekeeping before she still left Dacria. Now I am returning it to its rightful user. She said she possessed uncovered these invisible within the magic formula dungeons within the imperial palace. Regrettably, these textbooks are classified as the only making it through books regarding the genuine royalties left behind in this world. All the other books happen to be wrecked from the emperor.” The duchess said as she arranged the very few quantities of textbooks on the kitchen table.
“Please…” Evie’s cheeks were popular as she moved her gaze from his vision to his bare chiselled upper body. “W-don anything initial.”
Ahead of Evie could even articulate all over again, Gavriel delicately collected her up on his forearms.
The outlines in Gavriel’s forehead deepened. He sought much more clarification. “This can be apparently among the noble family’s magic formula. On this page is just about the textbooks that the mother entrusted into my thing for safekeeping ahead of she kept Dacria. And from now on I am just returning it to its rightful manager. She explained she possessed identified these undetectable within the solution dungeons within the imperial palace.

Evie was about to teeth when her eye last but not least stuck his wonderful naked body on 100 % present, and she could not guide but start looking dazedly for just a moment. How could this guy so casually seduce a sick guy including themselves in broad daylight of this nature? Her mind grumbled and groused that this was unfair enjoy.

“What is it?” he looked at her, travel cocking to 1 area adorably.

Because from that time he could remember things, his blood flow possessed only delivered nothing to him but darkness, death, and damage.

Is the Church of England a "Church"?
We are not supposed to think of the Church of England as a ‘Church’. When our sovereign was crowned, the Scriptures were placed in her hands with an awesome pronouncement: “We present you with this book, the most valuable thing this world affords.”
This sentiment always prompts in me the response that the most valuable thing this world affords must rather be the Blessed Sacrament. But I nevertheless find the words moving to the point of tears. They inspire in me a deep wonder, and a gratitude not only for the Queen herself but for her religious office and the Church whose government she was anointed to bear.
But we are not supposed, apparently, to think of the Church of England as a “Church”. Just an “ecclesial community”, which has neither apostolic succession nor true sacraments. The declaration that Anglican sacraments are “absolutely null and utterly void” is a teaching which, according to a 1998 instruction of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, is to be “held definitively”. Among a certain Catholic demographic this view has translated into an accomplished disdain for Anglicanism.
Lately, I heard one young man refer gleefully to a recently transitioned Ordinariate church as the long-overdue reappropriation of what is “ours”; another said that he did not bother to go into Anglican churches as they were “empty”. Often such sentiments are expressed with an evident satisfaction at the increasingly fragmented condition of the Anglican Communion: definitive proof that without a Pope there is no Church. Whatever did they expect?
Presumably such people are going to feel particularly triumphant this week as the Anglican Communion flounders to the next stage in its long civil war. I find such Catholic Schadenfreude distressing and embarrassing.
This is not only because so many of the theologians who have inspired me are Anglican, nor because their meticulous care of this nation’s religious heritage, from churches to choral music, is something for which we should have gratitude. It is because the suffering of global Anglicanism, and our own Church of England, comes from its inability to shut down or contain the same massive earthquakes of moral and theological divergence that, in the Catholic Church, are hidden, silenced, or otherwise papered over by the weight of authority.
This inability is grounded in an ecclesiology scorned by those secure in the papal arms which, in the Piazza San Pietro, enclose the world with such confidence: an ecclesiology which is compelled to admit that the Church cannot manufacture a cognitive unity of belief. Anglicanism is a constant, if reluctant, witness to institutional self-dispossession: it is always judged, always broken, and always waiting for the truth that comes from God’s future.
I have lost count of the number of times I have heard Catholics laugh at the idea of a “Church” founded on a decadent king’s sexual appetite. But they do not have eyes to see the spiritual genius with which some Anglicans have been able to receive as a blessing this seemingly unredeemable beginning.
All human institutions have murky origins. St Matthew tells us bluntly that God took flesh in this world through just such ancestries, and was not ashamed to call murderers and harlots his forebears. Anglicanism is unable to hide from the sins of religion. Its greatest theologians have seen this as grace, not curse.
I say this even as theological comebacks rise in my throat. Confusion is, after all, not a virtue. We confess a Church one, holy, catholic and apostolic, with a divinely instituted government; not a Church in constant disarray, no matter how much honesty there may be in such a state. But I refuse to suppress the strange tenderness, the admiration, that comes as I watch the anguished processes of dialogue and discernment that Rowan Williams and now Justin Welby have tried to nourish and enable.
Theirs is a Christian body that is unable to disguise its human frailty, its constant susceptibility to Pharisaism, or the impassable chasm that now divides it into global north and global south. It testifies to its own incompleteness.
And the Church of Rome seems more receptive to an ecclesiology of fragility than it used to be: coaxed and pushed by Francis, it looks less like an impregnable citadel, to the dismay of many, and more like a broken family that realises that the gift of unity comes from God’s mercy and not from human power.

Researchers noted that these findings do not indicate that insurance alone will eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer; however, it is one systemic change that may ameliorate consistent disparities.
A retrospective analysis, published in JAMA Oncology, found that there was a large difference in breast cancer stage among racial/ethnic minorities that had insurance and access to care.
Researchers noted that these findings do not indicate that insurance alone will eradicate racial and ethnic disparities in breast cancer, as previous studies have shown that equal insurance coverage and access to care will not fix the problem.
“Adequate insurance coverage for all patients with cancer is an important consideration and one major systemic change that can be pursued to ameliorate consistent disparities,” the authors wrote. “However, reasons for disparities in breast cancer are multifactorial, with opportunities for research across many disciplines.”
In this cohort of 177,075 women with a diagnosis of stage I to III breast cancer identified through the SEER database, 148,124 were insured and 28,951 were either uninsured or receiving Medicaid. A higher proportion of women who were either receiving Medicaid or who were uninsured received a diagnosis of locally advanced breast cancer (stage III) compared with women with health insurance (20% vs 11%).
In multivariable models, non-Hispanic black (odds ratio [OR], 1.46; 95% CI, 1.40-1.53), American Indian or Alaskan Native (OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.07-1.61) and Hispanic (OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.30-1.42) women had increased odds of receiving a diagnosis of locally advanced disease (stage III) compared with non-Hispanic white women. After adjustments for health insurance and other socioeconomic factors, associations between race/ethnicity and risk of locally advanced breast cancer were attenuated among non-Hispanic black (OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.23-1.35), American Indian or Alaskan Native (OR 1.11; 95% CI, 0.91-1.35), and Hispanic patients (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.12-1.22). Almost half (45%-47%) of racial differences in the risk of locally advanced disease were mediated by health insurance.
“The ability to quantify the association that insurance has with breast cancer stage is relevant to potential policy changes regarding insurance and a prioritization of solutions for the increased burden of cancer mortality and morbidity disproportionately placed on racial/ethnic minority populations,” the authors wrote.
Without insurance coverage, the absence of prevention, screening, and access to care, as well as delays in diagnosis, consequentially lead to a more advanced stage of disease presented at diagnosis and therefore worse survival. Additionally, previous studies have shown an association between history of cancer and future risk of unemployment. Risk factors for unemployment include having received chemotherapy and undergoing a mastectomy, both of which are common with later-stage breast cancer.
“Lack of insurance across the cancer care continuum can negatively influence a patient’s ability to be optimally treated, survive cancer, and live a productive life in survivorship,” the authors wrote.
Moreover, maintaining insurance coverage across the entire continuum of cancer care is equally important according to the researchers. A loss of insurance coverage could compromise completion of care, including adjuvant treatment recommendations, lasting years past the initial breast cancer diagnosis. Health care spending is also significantly associated with late-stage diagnosis, with earlier stage diagnosis of breast cancer not only being beneficial for individual patients and families, but also on society as a whole to decrease costs and equity among all populations.
The researchers indicated that further studies should continue to examine the direct and indirect costs of inadequate health insurance to patients of all racial/ethnic backgrounds, their families, and society as whole.

BGG: Special scales News – He revealed the decision parliamentary Finance Committee Ahmed flesh, Wednesday, for the existing Iraqi state treasury federal reserve money, noting that it is of the approximately $ 59 billion, and that the gold reserves of 90 tons…
BGG: Not to belabor this particular point…

BGG: Alak is clearly embroiled in this MASSIVE corruption scandal – the Finance Committee has to step in and add some CALM… and to be honest – them talking about 90 tons of gold is heartening (for sure). If they have that – it is a “financial mattress” for whatever change is coming…
BGG: OK on to some other “fundamentals”…
BGG: Iraq still has a MAJOR CASH crunch…
BGG: 2) they couldn’t (not really wouldn’t) sell the international bonds… (I wonder if anyone would have bought at 20% – yield, that is…)
BGG: 3) they are talking about going out to get loans to cover their budgetary needs – HOWEVER, every single bank said they would loan money – BUT NOT FOR GENERAL FUND PURPOSES…
BGG: explicitly… (sometimes these guys JUST DON’T LISTEN)…
BGG: they keep after the UN with this line about THEM FIGHTING TERRORISM on behalf of everyone else – except they keep leaving out the part where Maliki lit this fire (for political purposes) and they (at times) seem to be standing in the way or not moving against him fast enough…
BGG: I guess they think no one is watching??
BGG: 4) in spite of all this – they have plenty of resources and wealth… this is just a short term set-back. AND – it is currently rumored they still may implement some immediate monetary reform as a short step to their final monetary goal… on the other hand…
BGG: Mr White had an exciting comment the other day… something like 24 or 28 days after the last Iraqi troops were forced out of Kuwait, with their country in shambles, war torn, nothing in order, infrastructure still at minimal capacity – they had new bills printed – and immediately “assigned” a value of 3.00 plus to their new currency.
BGG: (and that is an accurate portrayal)
BGG: not some jibberish non-sense…
BGG: 5) basic principle – Abadi is intent on cleaning up the corruption and providing a better way of life for the people.
wmawhite BGG: I can post that if you want.
BGG wmawhite: Please do.
wmawhite BGG: KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait — Thousands of Kuwaitis are expected to jam the country’s banks today when they open for the first time since the end of the Iraqi occupation.
Customers will be allowed to withdraw funds and to swap pre-invasion money for a new currency issued to make more than $1 billion in pre-invasion dinars stolen by the Iraqis worthless.
“We expect a rush of people,” said Issam Asousi, an executive with the Bank of Kuwait. He said it could be a chaotic first week because customers have a lot of questions about their accounts.
wmawhite BGG: Kuwaiti banks continued operating during the seven-month Iraqi occupation under managers brought in from Iraq, but they have been closed since the U.S.-led alliance ousted the Iraqi army from Kuwait a month ago. When the banks reopen today, customers will be able to withdraw up to 4,000 Kuwaiti dinars, equivalent to about $14,000 at pre-invasion exchange rates from their accounts, and to exchange a like amount for foreign currency.
Balances of customers’ accounts will go back to what they were on Aug. 1, a day before the invasion. Clients will not be able to exchange Iraqi currency issued during the occupation, when Baghdad pegged the rates of the strong Kuwaiti dinar to the far less valuable Iraqi dinar.
The new Kuwaiti money will be exchanged for old at a one-to-one rate.
wmawhite BGG: and this is my comments………….
wmawhite BGG: In closing, keep in mind that Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990.The Kuwaiti currency at that time was the Kuwaiti Dinar. The Kuwaiti currency was replaced with the Iraqi Dinar by Saddam Hussein. Seven (7) months later, February 28, 1991, the Iraqi forces are kicked out of Kuwait and the war has ended. Only twenty six (26) days later, March 24, 1991, the Kuwaiti banks reopen with a NEW currency valued at 1 KWD = $3.50………….the key here is twenty six (26) days.
wmawhite BGG: Back to you, BGG.
BGG: OK – so…
wmawhite: Expect the unexpected.
BGG: that was my “fundamentals” commentary for the day…
BGG: any questions, comments, thoughts??
wmawhite: Kuwait was still in a mess and they reinstated their value.
wmawhite: No float………just bam!!!1
BGG wmawhite: BAM!!
Pablo: Why has parliment held off on the vote to fire the VP’s?
Pablo: They seemed to be all rush, rush, rush, then the holidays hit and nothing.
BGG Pablo: par for the course, if this is – indeed the real story…
BGG Pablo: However, I doubt it is because they will get to stay… more like – some political jockeying along the way.
Pablo: Okay, thanks. BBL.
Dr Dave: Kuwait had a thriving economy before Iraq invaded
BGG Dr Dave: Same as Iraq.
BGG Dr Dave: Oil
BGG Dr Dave: in fact, quite a bit less oil…
Dr Dave: they had economic and political stability before Iraq invaded
wmawhite Dr Dave: Kuwait was shut down……………..the majority of the people had left and had not even returned yet.
Dr Dave: the invasion led to the collapse of the Kuwaiti dinar
BGG: I just read this…
BGG: Maliki: If I were in power stormed the region
Read More :http://www.dinarupdates.com/showthre…med-the-region
wmawhite: folks,………….and Dave makes a good point………..the value of a country’s currency is in the potential wealth…….not necessarily what is in the bank…………
BGG: HE WAS IN POWER when ISIS stormed the eastern half of Iraq – IS HE ON CRACK??
Dr Dave: what exactly are the reforms,,,,no details
BGG: as you are asking for details from me?
wmawhite Dr Dave: RCOOKIE posted a couple of ago a lengthy document that outline many of the reforms.
BGG: or what are they in general??
Dr Dave: generally
clay Dr Dave: try this http://www.dinarupdates.com/showthre…784#post133784
BGG wmawhite: do you have that post by RCOOKIE handy?
clay BGG: was that not it?
Dr Dave: What of 140 HBL Jand A federal court laws
BGG Dr Dave: obviously – first and foremost was a restructuring starting with the elimination of these “obstructionist” VP’s all appointed as political “awards” – not a real job…
wmawhite BGG: I believe clay posted it.
Dr Dave: news from a month ago
clay wmawhite: thanks
BGG Dr Dave: and the doing away with all their GOI paid for security details – (which was MASSIVE)… even today Maliki has as many as 800 security…Abadi sent most of them off to fight ISIS (which makes sense).
BGG Dr Dave: for me – this is far and away the most critical of all the reforms – it lays the foundation for success with all the others.
Dr Dave: Malikis sons still not arrested?
BGG Dr Dave: it takes out the bad actors out of the equation.
BGG: one (Ahmed – I believe) had to flee to Finland and it was reported Abadi ordered him arrested if he returned to Iraq.
BGG: Some of Maliki’s relative have tried to seek asylum in various countries and have been denied.
BGG: Finland was the only one who would take Ahmed…
Dr Dave: what of the Billion usd that they found in Ms private jet
Dr Dave: did not declare it
jtank: he didnt know where it cae from-lol
Dr Dave: Abadi got the jet back
wmawhite BGG: The only way Finland accept Admed was because he married a Finnish girl.
BGG jtank: I wonder what his “Where did you get that” defense was for that one??
wmawhite BGG: accepted
Dr Dave: I think that’s for the politicians,,,hehe
BGG Dr Dave: I was only joking (a little) – was this recent?? I thought Ahmed was apprehended in Lebanon with 1.5 billion USD in the house he was at??
BGG Dr Dave: I didn’t see the plane incident??
clay BGG: me too
BGG: (Ahmed Maliki) that is…
Dr Dave: They found 1 Billion in M’s private jet in jordan 1 year ago
clay jtank: his term is up Nov.1st
clay jtank: yw
clay jtank: and in his 80s
jtank: losing power-maliki
Dr Dave: M also thought that the jet belonged to him and not the people of Iraq
jtank: mahmouds resignation going to stick?
BGG jtank: I sure hope so – that is also a MAJOR – MAJOR advancement to Abadi’s agenda.
BGG jtank: if (and I think it will – too much heat) the Mahmoud resignations sticks – it will be very, very good for Iraq.
BGG jtank: however – be wary of any last minute “jackassery” out of the “bad apple” gang (don’t say that holding your tongue)
BGG jtank: AND…
BGG jtank: it is curious they are putting the brakes on “Reforms votes” – I wonder if they aren’t waiting until Mahmoud is gone and they won’t have to put up with Maliki pouting to the SJC about losing his cushy VP slot…
BGG jtank: or if they do – it will at least be heard by a “non-Maliki” judge.
Dr Dave: Mahmoud has been play fair lately…no?
BGG Dr Dave: No – he’s gone…
clay BGG: Tman brought in about him losing his terms Nov 1st so that’s why he’s resigning
Dr Dave: AML still not in gazette….
BGG Dr Dave: I am not certain about that – still could be the Mahmoud thing.
BGG Dr Dave: once he’s gone – things may move very quickly.
Dr Dave: why go after these guys when they still are enjoying their immunity
Dr Dave: cart before the horse?
BGG Dr Dave: immunity is a limited quality (on their best day).
BGG Dr Dave: immunity can be removed. Especially without Mahmoud in the way.
BGG Dr Dave: we’ll have to see how his plays out…
Dr Dave: Then they remain hamstrung until they have law to deal with all this
BGG: OK gang – thanks for everyone tuning in – I have to run.

I don’t like my pancake syrup to touch my bacon or sausage or ham.
add brown sugar, chopped pecans, and a touch of heat to the syrup, slather it on the bacon, and roast it in the oven? Then I will allow syrup to touch my bacon.
We found this recipe a couple of years ago and assigned it to Stud Muffin’s brother to bring to a Men’s Supper Club event. It was the hit of the dinner.
He’s made it several times now. Stud Muffin has made it. It’s always a hit. Especially with the men, who, interestingly enough, won’t usually try it until they’re told that it’s bacon. Men. Such scaredy cats.
There are several recipes out there, but we’ve always used Ina Garten’s and it’s delicious!
We also keep it in the oven a few extra minutes and often finish it with a minute under the broiler, just to be sure the bacon is fully cooked.
1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup chopped or whole pecans
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 pound thick-sliced applewood-smoked bacon (regular bacon works too, but the thick-sliced is best)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil (for easy cleaning) and place a wire baking rack on top.
Combine the brown sugar and pecans in a food processor and process until the pecans are finely ground. Add the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper and pulse to combine. Add the maple syrup and pulse again to moisten the crumbs.
Cut each bacon slice in half crosswise and line up the pieces on the baking rack without touching. With a small spoon, evenly spread the pecan mixture on top of each piece of bacon, using all of the mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the topping is very browned but not burnt. If it’s underbaked, the bacon won’t crisp as it cools.
While it’s hot, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside to cool. Serve at room temperature.

Sorry, but cars like BMW’s electric ugly duckling are the future of the car and of our planet. Get inside one, as Fitness First magazine did yesterday, and you’ll be amazed.
Even though BMW has sold more than 40,000 i3s around the world already, it hasn’t made a big deal of the i3 yet in its marketing. Maybe the German automaker feels the mainstream public may not be yet ready for the big departure from conventional motoring that this little polymer/carbon fibre box on wheels represents. Not only does it sit high and square next to a low slung 330i, but the i3 has a fully electric drivetrain, which means that everything – from driving it to fuelling is completely different to what you and I are used to.
We drove one for the first time yesterday on some country roads in Victoria’s Yarra Valley. And what we experienced was revelation. These are the top 5 things you instantly notice when you drive a genuine electric car for the first time:
1. The near silence
We’d read about this, but still weren’t prepared for the almost total lack of engine noise. When you accelerate in the i3 all you hear is the wheels on the road surface and air rushing past the car. Its 127 Kw electric motor is a very distant hum in the background. The loudest noise in the cabin is the air conditioner and for a moment we thought that must be the engine. Driving in the i3 is like sitting at home listening to faint noises from your desktop computer.
2. It has unbelievable acceleration for a small car
Put the foot down and the i3 just takes off like a much more powerful, bigger car. While the official acceleration figure of 7.2 seconds for 0-100 km/h doesn’t make it a Ferrari, the actual acceleration still comes as a shock because you are used to wheezy acceleration from cars this size. Best of all, even when you’re doing 40-50Km an hour and you floor the accelerator, the i3 still manages a surprising surge that makes overtaking easy. That’s because electric engines deliver power instantly, without needing to wind up to deliver more.
3. You brake very little
Take your foot off the accelerator and the i3 doesn’t coast like all conventional cars. It actually decelerates very quickly as if you’ve put on the brakes lightly. This means you use the brakes far less and once you get used to this unique way of moving, you’re effectively propelling and slowing the car largely with just the accelerator pedal. Your right foot does far less work than in a conventional car. This was the single biggest thing we had to get used to while driving the i3.
4. There is a huge amount of room.
For its size the i3 is surprisingly roomy. That’s because its electric engine takes up far less space than a conventional petrol or diesel engine and there’s also no transmission. It means the cabin can be made bigger than those of conventionally engined cars, and there isn’t a transmission tunnel under the centre console either.
5. This is the most perfect city car. Ever.
With a range said to vary between 130 km and 180 km, the i3 will easily deal with a daily commute. But it’s perfect for the city because it’s small size and nippy acceleration means you dart in and out of traffic very easily. Its height gives you good visibility and it’s easy to park.
In all, this is the future, and it’s faster, cleaner and more fun. Bring on electric cars.

Super Simple and Easy Baked Keto Stuffed Tomatoes Recipe with Bolognese Sauce that gives you a Perfect Blend of Aroma is one Grilling Idea for your Keto BBQ Night. Fully Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Low Carb and perfect for Diabetics, these Healthy Stuffed Tomatoes can be served hot or cold, depending on your Taste Buds.
Keto Tomato Recipes
Having tomatoes in our lifestyle is a great addition you can cook and bake unbelievable dishes with.
Our Rainbow Pizza gives you beautiful vibrant colors only from various tomato blends. Adding just a few Cherry tomatoes into our Keto Gnocchi Tomato Basil transforms just an ordinary meal into an unforgettable experience.
Roasted Tomato Basil Soup is a dish I can not forget to mention. Once you roast tomatoes and blend them together with herbs, your kitchen will just flourish with the smell you will never forget.
Tomatoes on Keto
Some might argue, that tomatoes do not belong to Keto Diet lifestyle because of their higher carbs compared to other vegetables like Cauliflower, zucchini, or mushrooms.
Tomatoes Carb intake might be a bit more than above vegetables, but they still have very low carbs as well as glycemic index and adding them into the dish while still controlling the portions, can be a great addition to our lifestyle.
And our Low Carb Stuffed Tomatoes makes no exception.
Are Tomatoes Keto?
Tomatoes are the perfect ingredient in Keto Cooking.
As tomatoes are considered a fruit, on a scale of the lowest carbohydrates intake, tomatoes come together with berries on top of the list.
Depending on how strict are you with the keto lifestyle and counting your carbs, tomatoes are a great keto-friendly ingredient to add to your Keto Meal plan or daily meals.
How many Carbs are in Tomatoes?
Tomatoes are a great Keto-Friendly addition to your lifestyle. They only contain 3.9 grams of Carbs for 100g of tomatoes with Fiber of 1.2 grams bringing you to a beautiful 2.7 grams of Net Carbs for a medium-size tomato.
With our recipe, I have used our Bolognese Sauce and made them Mince Stuffed Tomatoes.
You can use lots of variations to stuff tomatoes with.
Each one will give you a great meal and each one would be unique.
- You can stuff them with cheese and leftover meat
- Cut vegetables mixed with cheese
- Almond Flour or Coconut flour blended together with a bit of tomato sauce and cheese is perfect as well
- Shirataki Rice mixed with minced beef and some cheese is another option
Salad Stuffed Tomatoes
Another great idea is to use the tomatoes raw and stuff them with one of the Keto Salad.
Use that as a BBQ Appetizer or a starter at your Keto Party.
Stuff them out with:
Toppings for Stuffed Tomatoes
Even though I have used one of the simplest choices and topped them up with plain cheese, which perfectly melts, you can add more.
- Sprinkle a bit of Keto Breadcrumbs, which you can make by drying and grinding our Keto Farmers Bread or any Keto Bread in that sense.
- Top it up with crushed nuts, which you can slightly roast
- A mixture of herbs from your garden gives you a great selection as well
- Fill them up with spinach and cheese for the perfect Iron Boost
Because tomatoes contain lots of water and fiber, they are considered one of the great vegetables when someone is looking to lose those extra pounds.
Their soluble fiber makes you feel full much faster and therefore you might not need to eat as much.
But the most important part of weight loss is, that you have to consume fewer calories than you burn.
That leads me to my belief, that if you do like tomatoes, they are great and extra healthy vegetables, but everything needs to be consumed in moderation.
Taking our recipe into consideration, 1 portion contains 5 carbs and 1 gram of Fiber.
That would give you a perfect 4 g of Net Carbs per portion.
As you see in the images, I have used 3 Beefsteak Tomatoes and 3 medium size tomatoes.
As there is no way you can consume whole beefsteak stuffed tomato on its own, I have divided the whole recipe into 9 portions.
How to bake Keto Stuffed Tomatoes with Ground Beef
Kitchen Gadgets needed:
- Minced Beef
- Diced Bacon
- Diced Fresh Celery
- Garlic Cloves
- Tomato Sauce
- Heavy Cream
- Fresh Oregano
- Fresh Marjoram
- Grated Cheese
*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON KETO STUFFED TOMATOES RECIPE
First Step: Stuffed Tomato Ingredients
Prepare all of your ingredients beforehand.
As you see, I have chosen 3 Beefsteak Tomatoes and 3 medium size tomatoes. It really depends on which ones you prefer. The baking time is very similar and does not need to be adjusted.
For Bolognese Sauce, dice your onion, garlic, bacon, and celery.
Fresh herbs should be cut into small pieces as well.
Second Step: Cook Keto Bolognese Sauce
Start with your onion and garlic. Place them into a cooking pot sprinkled with olive oil and caramelize for few minutes.
Once caramelized, add bacon and minced meat, mix and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Add diced fresh celery, herbs, salt & pepper, and mix and cook for another 10 minutes.
As of last add tomato sauce and heavy cream and fully combine.
More detailed step-by-step instructions about making our Keto Bolognese Sauce can be found on its special post with various tips, tricks, and ideas.
If you can manage to make bolognese sauce the night before, the best. Overnight, the flavors of the sauce combine, and the whole sauce thickens fully, which is the best for filling your veggies.
Third Step: Cover and Cook Keto Bolognese Sauce
Cover with the lid and cook for approximately 40 minutes at a medium temperature.
Fourth Step: Cut top of Tomatoes
Cut top or the head of each tomato. Do not throw it as you will use it later to close the tomato.
Fifth Step: Clean inside of Tomatoes
Using a small spoon, hollow out each of the tomatoes.
Scoop out all of the seeds as well as all the liquid, which will avoid tomatoes being too watery after baking.
You can add the inside of tomatoes into your bolognese sauce if you wish.
Sixth Step: Fill Each Tomato with Bolognese Sauce
Again, using your spoon, fill each of the tomatoes with bolognese sauce up to the top of the cut tomato.
Seventh Step: Top Up with Grated Cheese
Top it up with Grated Cheese.
As an alternative, you can use keto breadcrumbs of toasted crushed nuts. Any herbs, I would suggest sprinkling only at the end once the stuffed tomatoes are baked.
Eight Step: Bake
Bake in the oven at 200C or 400F for approximately 30 minutes.
You can also bake them on your BBQ Grill or an Air Fryer.
Tips and tricks:
Portions – After having the meal and because of using 3 beefsteak tomatoes and 3 medium tomatoes, I have split the whole recipe into 9 portions.
Herbs – if you would like to sprinkle your stuffed tomatoes recipe with herbs, I would suggest doing that step only once the tomatoes are already baked. Herbs will burn in the oven very easily and pretty quickly.
Baking – You can choose to bake those Keto Stuffed Tomatoes either in the oven, on your Grill, or on an Air Fryer.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Can you make Baked Stuffed Tomatoes ahead of time?
You can prepare all of your baked tomatoes ahead of time even the day before. On the day, you can either place them into the oven or on your BBQ grill.
You can even make small Keto Appetizers, by stuffing up small or cherry tomatoes and serve them not baked. Bolognese sauce is already cooked fully, so it will be just a perfect idea.
Can you bake Stuffed Tomatoes in an Air Fryer?
Instead of the oven or your BBQ, you can cook those Low Carb Stuffed Tomatoes in the Air Fryer as well.
It will be even faster as it only needs approximately 15 minutes on 175C or 350F.
How do you store Mince-Stuffed Tomatoes?
Placed into the glass container or your casserole, cover them tightly, and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Anything longer I would suggest freezing.
Can you freeze Keto Stuffed Tomatoes?
You can certainly freeze those Minced Meat Stuffed Tomatoes. Bear in mind that because tomatoes contain lots of liquid, they might become a bit soft after unfreezing.
I would personally suggest freezing bolognese sauce and use that for the day of preparation.

Yesterday, Regnery Publishing, a publishing house that bills itself as "the leading conservative publisher in America," announced that it has a book deal in the works with the former beauty queen. She'll release a memoir, Still Standing, come November.
Regnery president Marji Ross told E! Online, "It's not a book about gay marriage. It's not a book about traditional marriage...She wanted to write a book about freedom of speech and the double standard that seems to exist when someone speaks their mind and doesn't happen to be politically correct or consistent with what a crazy Hollywood celebrity thinks is the right answer."
Ross also claims that Prejean will not have a ghostwriter. Luckily, America has already seen a preview of Prejean's talents via her leaked emails. Anyone remember this lovely gem?

By now, we are all aware that it’s against the law to decide not to appoint a woman to a role because she’s pregnant, or has plans to start a family. So it might come as a surprise to discover the findings from a recent survey by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).
The survey found that 46% of employers thought it was reasonable to ask women whether they had young children during the recruitment and selection process,. 44% believed that women should be working for a business for at least one year before they decide to have a child and more than half (59%) of employers admitted that they felt that a woman should have to reveal that she’s pregnant when applying for a role.
The statistics will be shocking to many, and EHRC has called upon decision makers to take positive steps towards changing outdated attitudes, and ensure that the legislation around pregnancy and maternity is followed.
EHRC chief executive, Rebecca Hilsenrath, commented ‘It is a depressing reality that, when it comes to the rights of pregnant woman and new mothers in the workplace, we are still living in the dark ages… We also know that women routinely get asked questions around family planning in interviews. It’s clear that many employers need more support to better understand the basics of discrimination law and the rights of pregnant women and new mothers’.
It’s worth taking a step back here and looking at the circumstances that are at play. We like to think that most employers want to comply with the law, and create a working environment in which everyone – regardless of their personal circumstances – is encouraged to thrive. So why does the research highlight such shocking opinions, in big numbers?
When you’re running a small business, you can’t avoid the fact that you’ve got limited resources and operational requirements, and a pregnancy announcement could cause you some real and legitimate concerns. But the answer isn’t to complain about or blatantly ignore legislation that exists for very good reasons.
Forward thinking business owners need to start to think differently and to step up to the plate and create solutions that will protect their employer brand. They need to ensure they’re capable of effectively handling the HR challenges that will no doubt come their way. It’s clear that there is some serious work that needs to be done, and employers need to focus on building line manager capability and challenging the status quo if they want to stand the test of time.
If you know that a pregnancy in your workplace would be likely to cause issues, or if it’s something that you’re trying to take the right approach to at the moment, then let’s talk.
We can help you to create a plan that will ensure that you’re giving your staff the right support whilst keeping your business on track, and on the right side of the law.

Bohemian Like You: Porsche auctions wild Taycan art car for charity
So how much? Curious, since all proceeds will be donated to a Swiss non-profit association
Porsche is keen to call the Taycan its first “all-electric sports car.” Tesla fans have been known to call it something quite different. Now, another moniker can be placed on the four-door electron-eater: philanthropist.
The company teamed up with American artist Richard Phillips to create an ‘art car’ that will be auctioned off next month in benefit of a non-profit association in Switzerland.
Speaking in a statement, the CEO of Porsche Schweiz AG, Michael Glinski, said Taycan “represents a new chapter in the company’s history,” referring to the car’s unique powertrain and styling choices.
As for the project, he explained that the company “wanted to capture this achievement by working together with a leading artist. The result is this creation, which reflects the guiding principles of sustainability and electromobility and of course also places a strong focus on nature in Switzerland.”
He went on to say that “by auctioning the work and donating the proceeds we want to help the Swiss cultural landscape, which has been hit especially hard by the pandemic.” Noble reasons, all. With the support of RM Sotheby’s, the single and unique piece will be auctioned globally from April 6 to 13, 2021. The lot includes an exclusive individually tailored tour of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, the birthplace of Taycan, with Porsche AG’s head of the Taycan model range.
This isn’t the first time Porsche has worked with this particular artist. In 2019, Phillips worked with Porsche factory driver Jörg Bergmeister to design a Porsche art car, which then made history at the twenty-four-hour race in Le Mans.


Hydrogen MR Tanker Design Exceeds IMO Carbon Targets with Current Tech
In the race to develop next-generation environmentally friendly vessels, Italian classification society RINA working with Sweden’s FKAB Marne Design has developed a design for an MR tanker that exceeds the IMO’s 2050 targets for emissions reductions using currently available technologies. Conceived by the class society and designed by FKAB, propulsion is derived from LNG and onboard technologies that produce hydrogen for power while capturing the CO2 during a separation process for the LNG.
The MR tanker design is based on combining LNG with steam in a gas reformer technology developed by Helbio. The LNG molecules are split into hydrogen and CO2. The hydrogen is then used to fuel the internal combustion engines and/or fuel cells in a hybrid marine power system developed by ABB. The hydrogen produced can be used to power the main engine, fuel cells, or a hybrid of the two. The CO2 split from the LNG molecules is captured at the time of separation rather than from exhaust gas.
“The concept is revolutionary because it does not require any portside hydrogen infrastructure. The hydrogen is created onboard the vessel and all necessary equipment can be easily fitted on deck, so shipowners can convert existing vessels. The fuel cells have been specifically developed to produce more power and fewer emissions,” said Andreas Hagberg, Head of Sales & Marketing Department at FKAB.”
After a review of the design, RINA awarded an Approval in Principle (AiP) for the first of its kind hydrogen MR tanker to FKAB. According to the companies, this new design enables the use of hydrogen as a fuel today without the need for bunkering and storage on board and critically important exceeds the IMO 2050 targets for a 70 percent reduction of carbon intensity.
“Now that the concept has been brought to the real world through an immediately applicable CII A-rated design, this opens the door to reduce emissions in a much shorter timeframe,” said Trakakis. “The AiP is for an MR tanker, but the technology can be applied to a wide range of vessel types and sizes.”
RINA notes that any solution that aims to reduce a ships’ CO2 emissions should ensure a competitive Carbon Intensity Index (CII) rating. The CII standard being introduced by the IMO in 2023 has increasingly stringent rating thresholds towards 2030. RINA says that the CII rating should be measured throughout the whole service life of the vessel, not only when getting closer to 2050. This may however prove to be a substantial limitation for conventional ships built with the intention of being retrofitted after 10-15 years from delivery.
Using their new design, hydrogen usage can be progressively increased to maintain a top CII rating throughout the life of the ship, reducing CO2 emissions in a parallel slope with the applicable regulations. The ship can meet full decarbonization targets by either running the engine on 100 percent hydrogen or by producing all the power needed by fuel cells. In this way, the owner can decide the rate of CO2 reduction.
In addition to not requiring additional bunkering, aside from normal LNG, the concept does not require onshore carbon disposal technology to be available before 2032. The CO2 would be liquefied by the cryogenic steam from the LNG and can be used as the inert gas for the tanker. This provides time for the development of future carbon disposal technologies, which will be vital in the future to meet global decarbonization goals across all sectors.

USA 7s halfback Shalom Suniula has passed a fitness test on his calf, and will accompany the USA Falcons as they fly out Thursday to the Cayman Islands for the North American, Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) 7s.
Suniula and Nate Augspurger will co-captain the squad that includes a mixture of regular USA players and some hoping to break into the Eagles' World Series team. Suniula is coming off being dropped for the Gold Coast 7s.
"Being dropped was one of the best things that could happen to me," Suniula told RUGBYMag.com. "It allowed me to step back and reevaluate what I am doing, and also examine how the team plays without me. I hope to play my way back onto the Eagles, but I also know there are a lot of other guys gunning for those spots."
The entire squad is this:
It is a forward-heavy team, with six of the 12 being forwards.
"I think that's great to have two full forward units," said Falcons Coach Tony Pacheco. "It's going to be very warm and humid, and the guys will be working very hard. I think we will need all of them."
Some of the forwards will be expected to play a little in the backs, with Ben Nicholls showing the ability to play some hooker, and also in the midfield. Jack Halalilo, probably the most experienced player aside from Suniula, can also handle a little time in the backs.
Pacheco knows his team will have really only a day and a bit to get acclimated.
"It's a long flight but the time difference isn't too bad, and we don't play our first game until 11am on Saturday," he said. "However, we have to hit the ground running."
Pacheco is coaching the team but it's been made clear also that there are some expectations in terms of selection. USA Head Coach Matt Hawkins has said he wants to see Carlin Isles and Ryan Matyas get a lot of playing time. There will also be a huge competition between Suniula, Augspurger, and Tai Enosa to see who can nail down a spot on the Eagles going to Dubai and South Africa.
But for now, the USA Falcons will be worried about handling some tough and athletic Caribbean opposition, many of whom want to see how they measure up against the speedy and jovial Isles.
"We are going there to win, but we are also developing players," said Pacheco. "I am excited to see these guys and how they do. I am looking forward to what Mike Ziegler can show us, and how players like Ben Nichols handle this environment. We have a system we want to play in, but I also want them to be free. I am OK with a guy making a decision that turns out not to be the right one, as long as he makes it going 100 percent. I want to see these guys really play."

Moving up the rankings we take a look at No. 14 in our preseason top 20 which leads us the Cold Spring Harbor Seahawks. They enter this season as the defending New York State Class D Champions and only lost one game all season. At helm for 24 years is Head Coach Dennis Bonn who has guided this program to a long lasting run of success with 13 county titles, five Long Island championships, and five state championships. This season coach Bonn says his team is deep at both midfield and LSM which will be the strength of their team.
Leading this deep midfield unit that coach Bonn alluded to is Michigan bound senior CJ Reilly. Last season Reilly was a major focal point of their offense, leading the team with 32 goals. In addition to his scoring he’s a prototypical midfielder that will impact the game on both sides of the field. Reilly is the veteran of this midfield group, but two of their second line midfielders that saw the field as freshmen last year were Alex Bauers and Sam Bruno. Both got valuable experience last season and are sure to be factor in the success of the team in 2023. The glaring absence from this year’s midfield is Max Hawkinson who wasn’t just a midfielder but also was their face-off specialist which will make for some adjustments at the face-off X.
Looking at the Seahawk’s attack, it will be led by senior Hayden Calabretta who will be heading to MIT at the conclusion of the season. Calabretta was a very stout third scoring option, coming through with 18 goals while also adding 12 assists. This year he’ll now have a chance to become a primary goal scorer this season in the absence of 2022 graduates Luke Giraputo and Jake Rogers. One attackman that could be in for a big season is sophomore Roger Testa who was a member of last year’s team as a freshman.
Shifting over to the defense, this has historically been Cold Spring Harbor’s identify under coach Bonn. They are a team that grinds their opponents down, keeping most games low scoring. Last year the defense only allowed 4.4 goals per game which was the fewest goals allowed by any public school on Long Island. Although it won’t look quite the same without defensemen Patrick Pisano and Jesse Phelan and goalie Spencer Will, they always seem to have the personnel to build a great defense. One key returning defenseman is senior Kyle O’Grady the Hofstra commit. Replacing Spencer Will in the net will likely be the senior Carsen Kirchner who played a small sample size in 2022. Among the players who makeup the depth at LSM are two seniors Caden O’Connor and Theo Torres who both make a living in the caused turnover department.
Kicking off the 2023 season the Seahawks open up with a non-league game against their rivals from next door the Huntington Blue Devils on March 24th. Throughout the season they have plenty of high profile matchups against teams including Farmingdale (3/28), Port Washington (4/13), Manhasset (4/19), Syosset (4/21), South Side (5/5), Garden City, Rye, and Yorktown.

Staff were friendly and helpful Bed was comfortable and room was spacious Breakfast was okay
Our room was very hot and stuffy Hotel decor had seen better days - rather dark paneling everywhere in the lobby and breakfast room.
Central location, everything in the city could be easily reached on foot. The hotel has an older style, that I liked, but some would not.
The bathroom was on the small side and was generally not in the best shape.
having no food available on a Sunday seems weak
Don't be put off by the gloomy lobby - the rooms are actually very nice. Friendly accommodating staff too. Good location if you have to catch an early bus from the main bus terminal (SBI?).
Nothing - it was all good.
The staff was wonderful! Restaurant was delicious!
Needed new fabric on sofa; very worn out. Old tv in living room that didn't work easily with the remote. Few channels.
This is a very individual hotel which is managed with care and attention. Spotlessly clean, well-located.
Our room was one of most spacious accommodations we had during our holiday throughout Iceland. The hotel was quiet, located close enough to the main shopping and tourist areas of Reykjavik, but far enough away from the cafes and bars. The staff was incredibly helpful and gracious, and we enjoyed our breakfast each morning, which had enough variety to make it interesting.
The hotel was just a short walk from restaurants and bars.
Great friendly and helpful staff in the hotel....just like all Icelandic people we met. Our Junior Suite Room on top floor had great view over the city. Location is just enough away from traffic and city centre weekend entertainment noise but close enough to stroll to main shopping areas, City Pond, Hallgrimskirk etc. Anyway, the walking is necessary to work off the superb food at The Gallery Restaurant! Car parking on site. British Embassy 50m away in case of crisis (mornings only though!). We will return here without any doubt.
Bathroom was a bit small but with a superb shower. Should have asked for a room with a bath. Our fault not the hotel. Our friends bathroom was excellent but they had no City view. Our fault nohe hotel.
Very clean, quiet, good location. Excellent bar area.
Breakfast was a bit limited.
Staff people very helpful. Sigrun (manager) returned a pre-paid night because there was a change in dates and they had to accomodate us in an apt close by, free of charge.
Very traditional hotel with good facilities and friendly, helpful staff.
Would have loved a bathtub!
Polite and friendly staff who were keen to assist with every request. Lovely homely feel to hotel Great art all around hotel Efficient wifi Warm and cosy Christmas gift/free Christmas drink! Rooms sufficient size - no complaints there
Crisps on the tea/coffee tray which we thought were complimentary (instead of biscuits) were actually about £2.50 per packet - a little sneaky:-(, (but we were not charged for them after mentioning this).
Nice location to visit city.
Close to downtown, Bigger rooms, suites are spacious
A bit older of a hotel so if you are looking for something modern you might want to find somewhere else to stay.
Helpfulness of the staff. Location
Location was excellent within 10 minutes to all central areas of key interest. Staff very hospitable and knowledgable.
Price?...but then everywhere in Iceland is expensive.
Hotel staff, location
Spotty wi-fi -- lots of drops and re-starts.
Great Staff and very helpful assistance with tours, and dining reservations. Convenient location and reasonably priced.
friendliness of staff location, convenience restaurant art everywhere small size
wished we'd had a bathtub
lovely décor & restaurant
bit noisy as above kitchen area
Gallery Restaurant, one of the best in Reykavik. The hotel staff are some of the best service orientated in the world.Nothing was too much trouble.
The staff were always friendly and helpful. The rooms were a nice size and were warm and clean. The bar had a nice relaxed atmosphere.
Only a minor thing but the hotel was only a 5 min walk away from the centre and there are hotels a bit more central if that is what you are after.
Quiet hotel situated in a residential street just minutes from the main tourist areas. Clean bathroom. Good buffet breakfast. Free and reliable wifi.
Restaurant food was nice, but overpriced.
Wonderful staff, thanks to Siggi and Sigrun they really made me feel welcome. They made great restaurant suggestions and assisted with tour recommendations, great staff great hotel
Very clean hotel room just a little dated think 1970

From a press release:
“The corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum), also called “the stinky plant,” is about to bloom at the United States Botanic Garden (USBG) Conservatory. The plant went on display Friday, July 22. The Garden currently estimates peak bloom might happen between July 28-31. Once fully open, it usually remains in bloom for 24 to 48 hours and then quickly collapses. You can track the bloom’s progress via live video at http://www.USBG.gov/CorpseFlower.
The plant is famous for its large size, pungent odor, and unpredictable bloom schedule. The bloom is the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world – reaching up to 12 feet tall in the wild. An inflorescence is a cluster of multiple flowers that in the case of Amorphophallus species looks like a single flower. The corpse flower has hundreds of flowers located at the base of the spadix (the large vertical center) inside the famous purple-maroon spathe (the part that looks similar to “petals”). (more…)
