The official turnout for the 44th general election on September 20th , 2021 was 58.44%, which is a significant drop of 8.56% from the 2019 general election.
In the most recent election, the popularity of advance polls increased significantly across the country. The region did not escape this trend. The ridings of Vaudreuil-Soulanges and Salaberry-Suroît were no exception to the rise. In Vaudreuil-Soulanges, 25,867 electors took advantage of their right to advance polls compared to 21,595 in 2019. For Salaberry-Suroît, the increase was also significant since 23,548 voters turned out to vote in advance while there were 20,932 in 2019.
Priority: health and safety
Due to the pandemic, the election process was conducted with strict rules. This had the effect of sometimes creating long line ups. Voters had to wait outside the polling stations, particularly from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. To ensure the safety of voters and election workers Elections Canada had put in place measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in its offices and polling stations.
The measures put in place could vary from one province and territory to another. In polling stations, poll workers were required to wear a mask. There was also hand sanitizer, clear markings for physical distancing, and only one poll worker per table behind a plexiglass screen. Voters were also required to respect physical distancing: stand at least two meters from other people.
In terms of voting by mail, 1,011,874 Canadians have asked Elections Canada to vote by mail in their own ridings. In Salaberry-Suroît, nearly 1,000 electors voted by mail and in Vaudreuil-Soulanges there are a few hundred voters.

My name’s Lilia. I spent my day in Lviv.
The day was on the 25th of October. It was the first day of the 8th Lviv Fashion Week. And I visited it as an accredited blogger. And that day changed my life greatly.
It was my dream to become a professional in the world of fashion but it seemed too unreal to me. My profession was not related to fashion, I had worked in an art gallery for the last 2 years. But in spring I started my blog devoted to fashion. It was my hobby but the thought it must be my life didn’t leave me. After I had got the accreditation and suggestion to write an article, I left my job. So, the first day of the 8th Lviv Fashion Week became a watershed moment in my career.
So I started that day at 6.15 am. It is very difficult for me to get up so early in the morning but I had to.
I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and face and to have a bath but one of the cats (I have two and they are real bandits) sat on my washing machine and began to mew for food.
My cats can do it very loudly and they can wake up my dear L. So I had to satisfy wants of these terrorists
I turned my kettle on (I’m a teaholic))
and ate a banana with great pleasure.
While the water was filling my bath I was trying to make a list of questions to interview sponsors and designers of the Fashion Week. Of course, I should have done it earlier but…
Then I quickly looked through LJ.
Then I had a bath and dried my hair.
Meanwhile my dear L. was cooking breakfast. I would really die of hunger without him – I don’t like cooking.
Some more words about my cats. The black old one had been good enough till the moment I found the younger one. I took the white spotty evil home from the street a year ago. He spoiled the black cat and since that time my love to the cats becomes less and less from day to day. We call them Mr. Kot (Cat) and Mr. Pushistik (Fluffy) but they answer the sound of our fridge door only))
I wanted to have my nails polished so I decided to phone to the nearest beauty parlor. I took out my card holder and looked at my home phone. I use it so rarely…
It’s time for L. to leave for work and our black cat wanted to say “good-bye” to him. He loves L. greatly.
So, I have to leave too. I need to do some shopping, visit bazar and the beauty parlor. These are the things I saw on my way to the shop.
A forever sleeping butterfly
a beautiful rose
and men reparing the wall,
the street I went down.
I wanted to buy a few hair ties so I visited a little shop selling a lot of little things, one of those you can see in any suburb.
This is the place I have my nails polished.
And these are my nails polished and painted)
Then I went to a little book shop to buy a little notebook.
The bazar where I bought some nuts and went home.
I went along a picturesque street. I often go down it and dream about the working fountain and flowers, and a good path with benches along, but alas.
I came home, took out the things I’d bought, clean my dress, make up, put my clothes on,
and decided to look through my mail and answer new comments.
It’s time to leave! This is the bus I went by. It is new and it’s made here, in Lviv.
My Mum called me up and gave me a promise to photo me before the Fashion Week.
But she was awfully late and I decided to visit Vernisazh (a flea market).
There you can always find pictures, souvenirs and different antiquarian things.
This is the thing I liked but consider it too expensive.
This is a large book shop I visited to buy a book of the writer whose lecture I wanted to visit.
This is our Museum of Nature closed for repairing for more than 20 years. I’ve never been there.
And this is a church.
Some picturesque fall views.
And now a few words about the first event of the Fashion Week. Natalya Ryazanova’s lecture “Grotesque and Humor in Fashion” took place in Lviv Academy of Art. It’s beautiful inside…
After the lecture I had mixed feelings. The illustrations she showed were marvelous, but she almost didn’t speak. It seemed strange to me that the author of some books on fashion spoke almost nothing about the pictures she showed. But after a talk with some students of the Academy I understood everything was ok. The pictures she had shown were the main thing the students wanted to see.
Then I went to the official opening. It began with the presentation of Lviv fashion photographers’ works.
I liked the exhibition especially the works of Andrey Yanushevsky.
These are Petr Nesterenko-Lanko, a designer and the organizer of the event, and Darya Yankovskaya. We mailed each other before the event. She turned out to be a pleasant young woman. We talked for a little while and I was promised to get an exclusive interview after the end of the Fashion Week.
Then I went game viewing
I saw a lot of different people and decided to go home rather soon because I understood that the most interesting things would be in the next 5 days.
On my coming home I saw how tired I was.
In the evening I only check my camera, drink tea and eat nuts, I’d bought in the morning.
My article about Lviv Fashion Week is in the magazine which is not published yet, but I have several offers on writing about fashion and antiques and I’m happy!
What are you waiting for? Make photos of your day and send them in! Create your sample day here!

A History of the Sonnet in England: "A little world made cunningly"
Even occasional readers of English poetry will probably have heard these lines before, and many poetry-lovers will recognize them as the opening lines of sonnets. Indeed, many of the best-known poems in English are sonnets, and they are probably the most frequently anthologized poetic form in English. Although not all sonnets are great poetry, they have an unwavering fascination for their readers and, to adapt a line by John Donne, can even be “a little world made cunningly” (i.e., skilfully, cleverly, knowingly).
That little world is explored by Jochen Petzold in great detail, wherefore this book, unlike other histories of English literature, focusses exclusively on the sonnet. Besides a few examples from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland this book charts the history of the sonnet in England, from the arrival of the sonnet in English culture in the sixteenth century to developments in the twenty-first century. Focussing mainly on sonnet sequences, it covers not only the ‘big names’ of English sonneteering like William Shakespeare, John Donne, and Rupert Brooke, quoted above, but also introduces its readers to lesser-known poets and their work. The sonnet sequences and individual sonnets are discussed as case studies which provide accessible readings, whereby the book is recommended for experts as in-depth studies as well as for fans of English poetry as a solid basis.

Jimmy Paz works at Guantanamera, his mother’s restaurant. Once a detective with the Miami PD, he resigned after learning that shooting someone was an experience he could never repeat. Now he enjoys spending time in the restaurant and taking care of his wife, Lola, an extremely busy doctor, and his seven-year-old daughter, Amelia.
Moie is a shaman, and member, of the Runiya tribe in the rainforest in the Amazon. After a priest is murdered, he speaks to Moie before entering the spirit realm. Moie and his people are in danger when outsiders plan to come in and destroy the rainforest. With his jaguar god, Moie heads to Miami to face those bent on demolishing his home.
Paz no longer wishes to discuss any police work but when his ex-partner Tito Morales comes to talk about a case with him; he has a tinge of regret. Tito tells him the victim was yanked from the balcony and then opened like a can of beans in his garden, , with his throat and heart ripped out. The strangeness of it all points to either an Indian or a big cat in the area. It prompts Paz to recall some of the heart-thumping dreams he has dealt with of late, including visions of killings, a powerful figure, Amelia, and a large cat. In no time, Paz is forced back into police work and wrapped up in helping to solve the crimes when more brutal attacks take place. In Paz’s search for answers, he learns that someone named Moie is well aware of the jaguar. He claims to travel with one that is a god that helps him in his confrontations. Paz learns that Moie is not only interested in the rainforest but in Amelia, too. In no time, Paz is in the midst of the crimes, as he tries to unlock the strange dreams he has that seem to connect to his mother in some way. Paz is not certain whether these are dreams or hallucinations, but they feel, frighteningly and horrifically real. When Amelia begins having her own frightening nightmares, Paz must find answers soon before Amelia becomes the next sacrifice.
Night of the Jaguar blends the supernatural and science, creating a bone-chilling reaction in this exhilarating read. Gritty, provocative and superbly entertaining, Michael Gruber pens a well-written tale that does not disappoint. I was totally engrossed with the detailed descriptions of the jaguar. For a moment there, it was as if the jaguar’s eyes were staring straight through the pages. Moie, Paz, even little Amelia, are well-developed characters that heighten the tension in this entertaining thriller. The imagery amazes me, and the intricate story details make whether the jaguar is really some kind of god or shapeshifter a mystery. This thought-provoking story is one addictive read.

Can I begin by asking you about the TV series, ANNO DOMINI 1573, How did you become involved on the series, and how much music did you compose for the series?
Firstly, it was a movie called THE PEASANT UPRISING directed by Vatroslav Mimica that introduced me to the director and I got the Golden Arena for the music at Pula film festival 1979. Then Mimica made from this material and some additional material TV series ANNO DOMINI 1573. I recorded some music specially for series with choir and Symphony orchestra of Croatian radio television. I was involved in the movie by my friend Branko Lustig who was a producer, and later in LA he got 2 Oscars.
Is it very different writing for a series on TV than it is composing a score for a motion picture?
It is just little different because for series you must write very quick and in motion picture you have more time, but there are directors who change timing in last minute, so you must be prepared to change the score at the recording. As I conduct my scores I can solve easily the new timing.
What was your first scoring assignment and how did you become involved on it?
As a child I was in love with pictures and I was always listening to the background music. In a period from 1960 to 1970, and of course later I was known as a hit composer and the most famous Yugoslav singers have recorded my songs. Also, I got many prizes at International and Yugoslav song competitions. At year 1971 a small movie company in Zagreb proposed me to write some short movies for a talented young director Lordan Zafranović. For this recording I wrote music mostly in classical style for Zagreb Philharmonic, so it was a surprise because they did not expect from a hit composer. A lot of musician came to me asking to write some chamber music for them, which I am writing even today.
You have worked on European and American movies, does the process of scoring a movie differ greatly from country to country?
It is not a big difference from country to country. The director is important – how is his knowledge and interest in music, and of course the budget for music is important. The communication between director and composer is the most important thing in realisation of music
SKY BANDITS was a film I felt should have done better at the box office, your score was filled with so many themes, where did you record the soundtrack, and what size orchestra did you utilise?
I am sorry that the movie was not a great success. I had a great symphony orchestra called National Philharmonic orchestra from London where the best London musicians play. It was recorded by famous engineer Keith Grant who also recorded The Beatles. I also used in an orchestra contrabass clarinet and euphonium.
When you begin to work on a movie, at what stage do you like to become involved, do you like to read a script initially or do you prefer to start by looking at the film in its rough-cut stage?
I prefer to read the script and speak with director and producer. With rough-cut is a little faster, but today there are some directors who want to hear some cuts on synthesizer. It is important to trust the composer.
Do you feel that Orchestration is an important part of the composing process, and do you carry out all the orchestrations for your film scores or does this at times become almost impossible because of the scheduling?
Orchestration is very, very important. I love to orchestrate and when I compose I hear the whole orchestra. It is convenient when you have some more time for orchestration. Just in one movie I had to give my music to orchestrator ‘ because I was writing my opera CASANOVA IN ISTRIA, at the same time, and opera was a great success.
What are your earliest memories of music of any kind?
My first memories are when I was listening my mother playing classical music and some contemporary hits on piano. I started to learn music with 6 years and I had wonderful professors, a famous Croatian composer Rudolf Matz and his wife Margite Matz as a piano teacher. My parents had a wonderful big collection of records, mostly classical music, but after the war I bought a lot of Soviet music and records for peanuts, and we had an American library with many movie and musicals records. This was my “university” of good music.
When did you decide that you wanted to compose music as a career?
Even with 10 years I started to compose imitating my professor, but during my study of Architecture, which I finished I realised that the music will be my profession. I was very successful with my song writing, arranging and producing for record companies and radio and television. In 1969 I wrote my first musical THE BIG RACE and in 1971 the most famous YALTA YALTA which is still on repertoire.
What musical education did you receive, and did you concentrate upon one particular area or instrument during your studies?
I finished the music school Vatroslav Lisinski in Zagreb. I played piano and flute and I was excellent in theory. But my best school was when I started to conduct my music for records, film music and in theatres conducting my musicals.
I understand that there is A collection of compact discs available which are all your film music, did you have an active role in the selection of what cues would be used and what scores would be included in the collection?
I have very active role in the selection of my cues, but unfortunately still there are a lot of my film music which are not on the records.
Would you say that you have been influenced by any particular composer or composers, either in film music or classical music?
Stravinsky, Ravel, Shostakovich had a big influence on me and in film music Jerry Goldsmith and Nino Rota.
What is your opinion of the lack of themes in contemporary film scores?
Even today in songs there are not many good melodies, but good themes in contemporary film music are rare. It is a question of talent and education.
When you begin to write a score do you have a set way in which you approach a project, by this I mean do you begin with the opening theme and work through to the end titles, or is every movie different?
Mostly I try to begin with an opening theme. This theme if I like I am trying to use it in different arrangements.
How much time are you normally given to work on a motion picture score, or doe the time scale differ from project to project?
It differs from project to project, but it is very seldom that I have a lot of time.
How many times do you like to view a movie before you begin work on writing the score?
2-3 times is enough for me, because I am writing every situation in my notebook.
Do you perform on any of your film scores, and do you conduct all of your soundtracks?
I conduct all my music and sometimes I play piano. If there is a song I also sing backing vocals.
Do you have a preference to what studio you record your film scores at. If so is there any reason for this?
I like a good studio with big space and with excellent technical equipment.
Is the TEMP TRACK something that you have encountered often, and do you find it helpful or distracting and have you encountered a director who has wanted you to copy the temp?
It is most of the time distracting.
What is your opinion of the increased use of samples and electronics in film music and of the DRONE sound that is now a part of the scoring process in many recent scores?
I am not happy with this. It is bad for all composers, especially young one.
What is the largest orchestra that you have used on a film score?
The largest orchestra was National Philharmonic Orchestra in London, 3 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet and contrabass clarinet, 3 bassoons, 4 French horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, euphonium, harp, piano, a lot of percussion, 16 I. violins, 14. II. violins, 12. violas, 10 cellos, 8 contrabasses.
When you are writing a piece of non-film music, for the concert hall, do you find it easier to write without images and sound effects etc that are present within films?
It is easier to write when you have nice images in movies, but if not, a lot of time I find some imaginations in my mind.
My thanks to the Maestro for his time and patience.
Also Many thanks to my good friend Sergei Karov, without whom this interview would not have happened,
Thank you Sergei.

Serena Williams' peculiar behaviour at the 2014 Wimbledon Championships has remained the subject of many thoughts and speculations. It was evident that something was wrong with the top-ranked American female tennis athlete, but was it due to a viral illness or was there something else that affected her overall condition?
Former American professional tennis player and ESPN's tennis broadcaster Pam Shriver said something during the beginning of the doubles match that led fans to believe she was indirectly accusing Williams of drug use. "It's almost like she has taken something that makes her dizzy, disoriented, and she cannot reach up and strike a ball," Shriver chanted. Even after the match, ESPN's Chris Evert was dogged to question if Serena had taken something, Business Insider reported. "Is it a virus? Is it something unintentional or intentional in her system that they may drug test for," said Evert.
Shriver and Evert have long since extended their apologies for making up statements about Serena's health condition during the tournament.
Wimbledon officials released an official statement declaring that the reason why Serena was forced to withdraw in the doubles match was due to a viral illness, but some weren't convinced. Bleacher Report's Merlisa Lawrence Corbett was one who didn't buy the justification. "Viral illness, that's such a non-sexy explanation, it had to be something else."
Some reports suggested that Serena's coach Patrick Mouratoglou, to whom she has romantically been linked in the past, could have played a role in her poor performance.
Despite the numerous hearsays surrounding her surprise exit at Wimbledon, Serena expressed her indifference by going on a trip to Croatia. The 32-year-old 17-time Grand Slam champion was spotted with a mystery man at a beach in Pula, Croatia, NY Daily News reported. As the news outlet put it, Serena looked "rested and vibrant" in a peach and red two-piece bikini.
According to her official Web site, Serena is expected to participate in the World Tennis Association (WTA) Bank of the West Classic event in Stanford, California.

We aimed to investigate the impact of saliva collection and processing methods on AST, CK and LDH. Saliva was collected from 17 healthy participants by a passive drool. Each saliva sample was distributed into 3 aliquots: not treated, centrifuged, and passed through cotton. Centrifugation improved the precision of assays and produced lower values of AST and CK. The use of cotton resulted in decreased levels of LDH. This data stress the importance of the standardization of sample processing to measure enzymes in saliva.

First of all, Israel has never admitted that they have nukes…..so we go along pretending that they are just spectators…..
They are not and they have a strategy for nukes…..here is part one and two explaining their strategy……
By definition, as long as particular countries regard their nuclear status as an asset, every state that is a member of the so-called nuclear club is a direct beneficiary of the Cold War. This is because all core elements of any national nuclear strategy, whether actual or still-contemplated, were originally conceptualized, shaped, and even codified within the earlier bipolar struggles of post World War II international relations. Nonetheless, as the world now enters into a more-or-less resurrected form of this initial struggle the strategic postures of each extant nuclear weapons state are being modified within the still-developing parameters of Cold War II.
These parameters, it follows, warrant very careful further study by both scholars and policy makers. Already, they are in constant flux, transient, changing in both foreseeable and prospectively unseen ways. Among other things, such critical parameters or boundaries will become increasingly vital and potentially even determinative. In this regard, a great deal will depend upon the precise manner in which this reborn bipolar rivalry impacts the various basic elements and circumstances of nuclear deterrence postures.
and then there is Part Two…….
This article will continue the examination of Israel’s nuclear strategy begun with “Israel’s Nuclear Strategy: Enhancing Deterrence in the new Cold War.” Specifically, Part II will address Israel’s core nuclear deterrence posture. In Part I, we posited the prospective importance of any re-born superpower rivalry upon this posture. Most critically, Israel’s nuclear strategy will depend, in meaningful measure, upon the expected rationality and irrationality of its friends and foes, and upon a broad variety of plausible synergies between allied and adversarial actions. Recalling Thomas Hobbes’ 17th-century prophetic description of a “state of war” not just “actual fighting,” but also a “known disposition thereto,” Part I ended with specific and informed references to certain considered modifications of Israel’s deliberate nuclear ambiguity, and also to its need for further expansion and codification of formal nuclear military doctrine.
Now that we have looked into Israel’s nuke strategy is there a good reason to have done so……
Let’s back up a bit….a few months ago there were stories about the Trump admin wanting to help the Saudis develop their nuke energy program……the problem is and I wrote about it when I heard this plan…that they were more interested in weapons than energy….
Then I read something disturbing…….
The Israeli government has begun selling the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia information on how to develop nuclear weapons, according to a senior official at the Israeli military organization iHLS (Israel’s Homeland Security). Ami Dor-on, a senior nuclear commentator at the organization — which is partially funded by U.S. weapons-giant Raytheon – came forward because of his concern over the emerging nuclear arms race in the region. The cooperation between the two countries in helping the Saudis to develop a nuclear weapons program is just the latest sign of their warming relationship, with Israel recently calling the Saudi crown prince “a partner of Israel.”
Israel has been a nuclear power for decades, though its nuclear arsenal is undeclared and the country has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Estimates of its arsenal vary, with most suggesting that Israel possesses from 100 to 200 nuclear weapons. Israel was aided in the development of its nuclear program by Western powers, particularly France. Much of the Western “help” Israel received, however, was the result of covert thefts of nuclear material from countries such as the United States and Belgium.
Are the Saudis playing a dangerous game? Some, like myself, think they are indeed…….
After months of relative silence from Saudi Arabia, this was a noisy weekend. For the second time since he was named heir to the throne last June, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman announced a major Cabinet reshuffle, this time focusing on ministries related to culture, Islamic life and social development. Just one day earlier, French newspaper Le Monde reported that the crown prince had sent a letter to French President Emmanuel Macron threatening to attack Qatar, the target of last year’s Saudi-led blockade, if Doha acquired Russian-made S-400 air defense systems. Last but not least, Israeli news site News1 published an article about Saudi Arabia’s plans to develop nuclear weapons capabilities, potentially with help from Pakistan or Israel.
This news should worry anyone interested in the Middle East…..the Saudis are developing and Iran has tried to give up their ambitions…..this could change the dynamics of any negotiations around the nukes in the Middle East.
This will not escape my scrutiny……how soon before friends become enemies?

My husband and I spent one night here in February. The hotel is well situated and has a "Ritz" type feeling. Staff is friendly and cortuous. However, the restaurant recommended by the concierge turned out to be horrible. The breakfast buffett can be much better. While there is variety, the quality is not at par with other luxury hotels. For example, for cereal they serve Kelogg varieties in small boxes, the bread is plain old toast etc. The wifi in the room was the slowest I've ever encountered in a hotel. I will try another hotel next time I'm in Madrid.

Though the launch of SOCOM: Confrontation may have been a disappointment which will have to wait until next week to be properly reviewed, the pack-in official Sony Bluetooth headset helped to alleviate the pain. Combined with the new headset features that arrived with the 2.5 firmware update in the high-quality chat mode, Sony has managed to bring a quality of voice chat that is at least on par with the competition, if not reaching VoIP evels of quality.
Admittedly, I wasn't entirely enamored with the new headset out of the box. While button placement and the general overall design of the headset is nice, it wasn't quite as firmly fitted as I was hoping it would be. Because the ear piece doesn't snap into place with any real pressure (as a result of it being removable and reversible), the headset simply dangles on your ear. For some, the speaker piece will fit snugly into the ear and keep the entire headset firm, but it took a bit of working and adjustment of the removal rubber guard to get the device on my ear securely.
After overcoming the comfort and stability issues, in-game headset testing proved to be impressive. In both SOCOM: Confrontation and Warhawk, the device performed admirably: far better than the Jabra BT headset I was previously using. While I only managed to sneak a few games in with SOCOM because of the server issues, the chat sounded crystal clear and loud in matches that weren't lagging. However, even slight amounts of latency caused the burst voice transmissions to come in with some distributing crackling. This can be largely attributed to the problems with SOCOM, though, as I had no such issue with Warhawk.
Where the headset really shines, though, is in stand mode. The headset comes with a small, pack-in stand which connects to the PS3 via a short USB cable. When the headset is placed in the stand, it begins charging but it also becomes an active standing microphone similar to the one on the PlayStation Eye. It appears that the headset draws extra power from the USB to extend its range, because testing proved that the distance on the standing headset was insane.
To test it out, I had a friend enter a voice chat with me and put his microphone in standing mode. The two of us started at our systems and began walking away while counting out loud. While I got to the opposite side of my awkwardly-designed apartment before he couldn't hear me, he managed to walk out of his living room, up a flight of stairs, and on to the second floor before I couldn't hear him. The quality remained at VoIP levels throughout as well when using the HQ mode. The lesson learned? Don't put it in stand mode if there's other stuff going on in your house.
Regardless of how you're using the headset, the new UI features are welcome. Switching from HQ mode to normal mode or muting the microphone, and altering the volume all have corresponding display notifications. Real-time notifications come as the headset gets low on batteries, as well.
Overall, the official PS3 Bluetooth headset and the associated firmware features for it are an excellent step towards a new age for voice chat on the system. The unit's build quality is respectable, battery life is on par with the controllers, and the sound quality is impressive. Sony's system has been lacking in the voice communication front since its launch, but these new tools go a long way towards fixing that problem.
Verdict: Buy (even if the game is broken for now)
Price: $59.99 (SOCOM: Confrontation bundle) or $49.99 alone
Other recent reviews:


The Majority in Parliament says it is considering dragging the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to the Supreme Court over his ruling on the Dome-Kwabenya MP, Sarah Adwoa Safo.
According to the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, the ruling was “unfortunate”, saying the Speaker may have misinterpreted the law.
“If we lend ourselves by what I consider to be a very capricious ruling, then the Supreme Court would be the final arbiter,” he said.
Alban Bagdin ruled that the entire House must debate the Privileges Committee’s report on whether or not the Dome Kwabenya MP should lose her seat for absenting herself for more than 15 sittings.
Her continuous absence from Parliament divided the House with the Majority interestingly taking the view that the Privileges Committee report should be final.
“As I have noted in this ruling, the decision as to whether or not to admit a motion is the exclusive preserve of the Speaker. In view of the foregoing, the House is well within its rights to receive and consider the report of the Committee and make a determination arising out of the recommendation,” Mr Bagbin ruled.
But the Suame MP says the Speaker was wrong and they are determined to fight it before the debate.
“When they [Privileges Committee] have made that determination, it doesn’t come back to Parliament for Parliament to vote on it. So for the Speaker to come in with what I consider very unfortunate interpretation of the Constitution… this is a matter of the interpretation of the Constitution and it can go to the Supreme Court,” he added.

Properties of chemical weapons
Chemical weapons can be categorized by their physical characteristics, such as lethality, persistency, mode of action on the human body, and physical state (i.e., gas, liquid, or solid) when being delivered.
Some chemical agents are highly lethal. For example, nerve agents such as sarin, tabun, soman, and VX can kill almost instantly; a few droplets absorbed through the skin can paralyze and cause death in minutes. At the other end of the lethality spectrum are chemical agents such as tear gas that only act as irritants or incapacitants and are unlikely to kill unless used in very large quantities.
Chemical agents also have varied levels of persistency. Some evaporate in minutes or hours and lose their effect rapidly. For example, sarin is a lethal but nonpersistent nerve agent. By contrast, VX can persist for days or weeks in lethal form. This difference in persistency may lead to a different strategic or tactical use of each agent in wartime. A military force may use persistent chemical weapons, such as VX or mustard, to neutralize an air base, seaport, or key staging area for an extended period in order to deny its use to the adversary. On the other hand, nonpersistent chemical weapons, such as sarin, more likely would be employed where only a temporary effect is sought. For example, nonpersistent chemical weapons could be used to breach an enemy line at a point that one’s own forces might want to pass through or occupy after the effects have dissipated.
Some poison gases, such as chlorine and hydrogen cyanide, enter the victim’s lungs during inhalation. On the other hand, nerve agent droplets might enter through the skin into the bloodstream and nervous system. Still other chemicals can be mixed with food in order to poison enemy personnel when they take their meals.
Finally, chemical weapons might be delivered via aerosols, mortars, artillery shells, missile warheads, mines, or aerial bombs. Most of these have all the ingredients premixed, but newer chemical arms may be so-called binary weapons in which the ingredients are mixed in flight while the weapon is being delivered. Binary weapons are safer and easier to store and handle than more-traditional chemical arms.
Defense against chemical weapons
On the battlefield
Since World War I the military organizations of all the great powers have acquired defensive equipment to cope with emerging offensive chemical weapons. The first and most important line of defense against chemical agents is the individual protection provided by gas masks and protective clothing and the collective protection of combat vehicles and mobile or fixed shelters. Filters for masks and shelters contain specially treated activated charcoal, to remove vapours, and paper membranes or other materials, to remove particles. Such filters typically can reduce the concentration of chemical agents by a factor of at least 100,000. Masks can be donned in less than 10 seconds and can be worn for long periods, even in sleep. Modern protective overgarments are made of fabric containing activated charcoal or other adsorptive forms of carbon. A complete suit typically weighs about 2 kg (4.4 pounds). The fabric can breathe and pass water-vapour perspiration. In warm weather, periods of heavy exertion in full protective gear would have to be limited in order to avoid heat stress. Also, removing such gear in a contaminated environment would raise the risk of becoming a casualty or fatality, and so gear must be removed within toxic-free shelters after following decontamination procedures at the shelter entrance.
Chemical detectors have been developed to help identify levels and places of contamination. These include chemically treated litmus paper used to determine the presence of chemical agents. Other sensors may include handheld assays, vehicles equipped with scoops and laboratory analysis tools, and both point and standoff sensors. Automatic field alarm systems are employed by some military forces to alert personnel to the presence of chemical agents.
Well-equipped troops are supplied with hypodermic needles filled with antidotes to be administered in the event of toxic poisoning from nerve agents. For example, atropine shots can be injected to fight the effects of nerve gas exposures, and different medicines are available to treat casualties.
A number of methods have been found useful in decontaminating areas and people covered with chemical agents, including spraying with super tropical bleach (chlorinated lime) or washing contaminated surfaces or garments with warm soapy water. The challenge is finding and using a decontamination solution that is strong enough to neutralize the chemical agent without damaging the equipment or harming the personnel.
In some military forces, modular field hospitals have been developed that are stocked with resuscitation devices for respiratory support and other necessary equipment, decontamination solutions, and staff trained to decontaminate chemical warfare casualties. Collective protective shelters, complete with filters for airflow systems, have been provided to shield personnel in an otherwise contaminated area. Such shelters can provide a toxic-free area for personnel to change clothes, get medical attention, sleep, and take care of bodily functions with less danger of exposure to lethal chemicals.
Chemical agents used against unprotected forces can cause high casualties, fear, and confusion. Thus, personnel facing adversaries equipped with chemical weapons must be trained to don individual protective equipment, seek cover in collective protection shelters, avoid contaminated areas, and rapidly decontaminate personnel and equipment that have been exposed. However, such measures, while necessary to protect against chemical attacks, may expose protected forces to greater casualties from conventional weapons fire and lead to a loss of conventional combat effectiveness. Indeed, exercises have shown that conventional combat effectiveness can be decreased by 25 percent or more for military forces compelled to operate in masks, protective overgarments, special gloves, and boots. This is especially true if temperatures are high and forces are required to stay sealed in their gear for many hours or days without relief. Prolonged wearing of individual protective equipment can lead to stress, fatigue, disorientation, confusion, frustration, and irritability. Also, heat can build up and lead to dehydration. Thus, there is generally a trade-off between protecting one’s force through chemical-protection gear and maintaining conventional fighting effectiveness.

- Mr Ruto was declared the winner of a closely fought election after garnering 50.49% of the vote against Raila Odinga's 48.85%
Nairobi. Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chair Wafula Chebukati has declared DP William Ruto Kenya's President elect.
Mr Ruto was declared the winner of a closely fought election after garnering 50.49% of the vote against Raila Odinga's 48.85%.
The announcement at the Bomas of Kenya auditorium, which comes six days after Kenyans went to the ballot, was followed by jubilation from the Kenya Kwanza camp. There was also audible disgruntlement from the Azimio camp.
The announcement is also a culmination of a wait coloured by prolonged verification processes that has been interrupted several times after complaints by supporters of the main candidates.
The vote was carried out peacefully, with international observers praising the electoral commission for a job well done. The East Africa Community, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad), the Commonwealth and the African Union (AU)/Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) observer missions in Kenya also praised the National Police Service for their professionalism at the polling stations.
However, the team faulted the use of state resources during political campaigns, failed Kenya Integrated Election Management System (Kiems) kits in a number of polling stations, low voter turnout and lack of youth participation in both elective posts and voting.

After leaving the amazing Wild Coast, and stopping in Port Elizabeth to partake in some 4×4 training, Noel and I headed to the Addo Elephant Park. We’ve met a few fellow travellers and South Africans who told us that Addo is one of South Africa’s best wildlife parks, so we were really excited to check it out.
Some facts about Addo – it’s called an Elephant Park for a reason. More than 600 reasons to be exact!
But African elephants are certainly not all there are to see. Addo is South Africa’s third largest park, after the Kgalagadi Transfrontier and Kruger. In addition to elephants, visitors can expect to spot some cape buffalo, the endangered black rhino, zebras, hartebeest, and lions.
Fun fact: Addo is also the only national park to feature whales and great white sharks, in the marine park that we didn’t get to visit…
Nevertheless, we were really excited to see some red hartebeest. Sometimes, after going on a number of safaris, seeing loads of the same type of antelope can get boring (Oh lord, please don’t brake for another impala!). It was definitely a welcome sight to see red hartebeests, which look like cone-head antelope but are actually bovines.
And who can resist a Kudu – with those ears that remind me of Avatar!
Ok, so this photo below doesn’t capture just how large the African tortoise is – this one was almost as big as our tyre.
Noel and I aren’t big ornithologists, but Addo is certainly a bird lovers paradise with over 800 species. Our favourite spot was this black-headed heron with its amazing s-shaped neck.
Can’t forget the zebra!
While finishing off our afternoon game drive, we spotted a lone cape buffalo to our right. So we stopped to take a picture. A few moments later, we looked to our left to see a huge herd of buffalo headed straight towards Maggie!
Definitely the most terrifying experience of the trip was watching a bull elephant charge the most frightened Earth Cruiser driver we’ve ever seen 🙂
Phew, luckily the elephant wasn’t too committed, and ran off into the bush after we snapped this photo.

The company said it will update natural gas pipelines in states including Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. The company got regulatory approval in late January to pass the costs along to customers.
NiSource also announced early results of its exploration in shale formations in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
Robert Skaggs Jr., president and chief executive, said the company drilled test wells in 2012, and anticipates drilling 10 to 20 wells this year.
"Although the evaluation process continues, preliminary results are quite encouraging and indicate liquids content consistent with active wells in the area," Skaggs said Tuesday in a conference call with industry analysts following release of the company's fourth quarter and year-end results.
Skaggs was not specific on flow data, but said the wells were producing "high gas, about 1,200 Btu" (British Thermal Units) -- which is to say the gas is richer, with a higher heating value, than regular natural gas.
The wells are producing significant amounts of more valuable propane, butane and ethane, in demand in the plastics industry, he said.
NiSource is undertaking the project in the Utica/Point Pleasant shale formation in a joint venture with Texas exploration and production company Hilcorp Energy Co. The partners have about 100,000 acres in the Youngstown area.
Then in December, Dominion Resources Inc., parent company of Dominion East Ohio, said it would partner with Caiman Energy II LLC, a Dallas company, to build natural gas processing plants and pipelines to the plants from gas wells in Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania.
They valued the joint venture project, called Blue Racer Midstream LLC, at $1.5 billion. The companies said Dominion would contribute existing equipment and facilities valued at about $800 million and Caiman would contribute the additional funding over time.
NiSource, in its earnings report, said it had 2012 profits of $416.1 million, or $1.39 per share, up 39.1 percent compared with 2011 profits of $299.1 million, or $1.03 per share
Revenue in 2012 was $5.06 billion, versus $5.97 billion in 2012.
NiSource shares hit a 52-week high on Tuesday, trading at $27.32, above a previous 52-week high of $27.31. NiSource closed at $27.27 on the New York Stock Exchange, then edged higher again this morning, to $27.35.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the Biden administration is “committed to advancing and expanding” the Abraham Accords normalization agreements Israel signed with several Arab states in 2020.
In a statement marking the two-year anniversary of the accords’ signing, Blinken says the diplomatic deals “have been transformational for Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Morocco.”
“They have led to new forms of cooperation and regional integration in the Middle East and beyond, including the historic Negev Forum, which brought us together with Israel and its neighbors,” he continues, referring to the March summit of regional foreign ministers in Sde Boker where participants agreed to boost cooperation and make the gatherings a regular occurrence.
“We are committed to advancing and expanding upon these agreements between Israel and Arab and Muslim-majority countries to enhance regional security, prosperity, and peace. The United States looks forward to helping strengthen and deepen these partnerships in the years to come,” Blinken adds.

I’ve been having fun decorating my home for Christmas using a pretty linen ribbon. Ribbon decoration is a simple and affordable way to bring color and texture to your seasonal decor.
We cut our tree down from the mountains, and once I added these ribbon bows, it just felt so complete. I just think the linen ribbon bows with their long tails are so old-world charming.
It makes another sweet touch to your stocking if you tie a little bow to the top. I’ve done small bows before and ones with long tails.
My favorite gift wrap is a simple brown paper package tied with ribbon. It is a charming and inexpensive way to wrap gifts and really lets the color of the ribbon shine.

Purification and Characterization of a Novel Subtype A3 Botulinum Neurotoxin
- Tepp, William H., Lin, Guangyun, Johnson, Eric A.
- Applied and environmental microbiology 2012 v.78 no.9 pp. 3108-3113
- Clostridium botulinum, antibody formation, bioassays, botulism, drugs, lethal dose 50, mice, neurotoxins, neutralization, patients, polyclonal antibodies, purification methods
- Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) produced by Clostridium botulinum are of considerable importance due to their being the cause of human and animal botulism, their potential as bioterrorism agents, and their utility as important pharmaceuticals. Type A is prominent due to its high toxicity and long duration of action. Five subtypes of type A BoNT are currently recognized; BoNT/A1, -/A2, and -/A5 have been purified, and their properties have been studied. BoNT/A3 is intriguing because it is not effectively neutralized by polyclonal anti-BoNT/A1 antibodies, and thus, it may potentially replace BoNT/A1 for patients who have become refractive to treatment with BoNT/A1 due to antibody formation or other modes of resistance. Purification of BoNT/A3 has been challenging because of its low levels of production in culture and the need for innovative purification procedures. In this study, modified Mueller-Miller medium was used in place of traditional toxin production medium (TPM) to culture C. botulinum A3 (CDC strain) and boost toxin production. BoNT/A3 titers were at least 10-fold higher than those produced in TPM. A purification method was developed to obtain greater than 95% pure BoNT/A3. The specific toxicity of BoNT/A3 as determined by mouse bioassay was 5.8 x 107 50% lethal doses (LD50)/mg. Neutralization of BoNT/A3 toxicity by a polyclonal anti-BoNT/A1 antibody was approximately 10-fold less than the neutralization of BoNT/A1 toxicity. In addition, differences in symptoms were observed between mice that were injected with BoNT/A3 and those that were injected with BoNT/A1. These results indicate that BoNT/A3 has novel biochemical and pharmacological properties compared to those of other subtype A toxins.

Building on the theme of “what I find helpful in my knitting” – this week I’m sharing inexpensive tools and simple techniques for tracking your progress and modifications as you work through knitting patterns.
Whether it’s a colorwork sweater with multiple charts, or a simple accessory, you need to know where you are in a pattern, how many times you’ve repeated a specific instruction, and how you have modified a pattern to better suit yourself or your recipient.
While there are a lot of nifty stands, stitch counters, software programs, and other tools on the market, I find working off of a printed or photocopied pattern and using a pencil, highlighter marker, and occasionally, highlighter tape, is easy and affordable.
Before you cast on, first use the highlighter marker to note all the instructions for your size as you read through the pattern. The pencil is handy for tracking repeats in a pattern or making notes on modifications (so that, for example, both sleeves come out the same width and length). And the highlighter tape makes a great reusable guide for working your way through a chart.

Mokulito (Wood Lithography) Printmaking
Printmaking mash-ups appeal to my experiment-loving, nerd-artist’s heart. In a previous series of blog posts this season (like this cat and tulip print), I relished mixing linocut with drypoint engraving. (More of those are coming soon.)
And then, I took a wood lithography workshop – also known as Mokulito – with master printmaker Jeff Sippel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Screech the tires, bang a sharp right, and forge a new path with the Art Car!
Learning a brand new printmaking method that I’ve been scratching my head to comprehend has ignited a barn fire on a windy day in my brain. I’m practically obsessed.
What is Mokulito?
The Japanese word Mokulito translates roughly to Wood Lithography. Are you familiar with Mokulito? Have you ever seen a print up close?
Mokulito is a lithographic printmaking process that uses a wooden plate instead of the traditional stone or metal to print from.
Instead of grabbing litho crayons and tusches to draw and paint on stone, we used heavy body acrylic paint and gum arabic to build imagery on wood.
Basically, your acrylic painting becomes the printmaking matrix, because altered printmaking inks will stick to the acrylic. The ink will repel the prepared, wet wood. As a lovely bonus, you can also carve into the wood to print relief style, like a woodcut. The combination of possibilities in your design are incredibly exciting to ponder.
No Two Mokulito Prints are Alike
Mokulito Editions are small and variable, but I loved experimenting with drawing on wood with different acrylic pens, and alternating veils of acrylic paint to suss out halftones, and reveal printable woodgrain in the final prints.
Adding Monotype to Mokulito Prints
During the workshop, Jeff Sippel printed a variety of lovely mokulito demos to help us understand the process for image building and the patience required to properly ink the plates.
After his prints were dry, he also over-printed a transparent monotype on a portion of the finished mokulito print, which adjusted section of the values magically. I couldn’t take notes fast enough. It was such an AHAAAH-moment! More printmaking mash-ups!
- Mokulito was invented in the 1970’s, in the studio of Ozaku Seishi, a printmaking professor who was frustrated about students who learned stone lithography in college, but rarely returned to it because they had no access to litho stones, presses, and all the accouterments required to make the prints.
- Recently, Polish printmaker Ewa Budka and her father have worked to fine-tune and demystify the Mokulito process with demo videos and workshops.
- Don Messec’s Making Art Safely workshops in Santa Fe New Mexico are fantastic! You can read an interview with Don here.
- Master Printmaker Jeff Sippel’s work is ethereal and painterly, and his printmaking workshops are stuffed with practical information about process, supplies, methods, and printmaking mash-ups. Don’t miss an opportunity to study with him.
- Bernhard Cociancig has created some gorgeous mokulito prints, and he assembled and gives away a PDF download of supplies and methods that were the result of many experiments in his studio.
- There is a new Mokulito book out by printmaker Marta Sliwiak. It’s published in both Polish and English in the same book. There are plenty of great photos and graphics to review her process too, which you can peruse here.
More Mokulito to Come
My studio is a vortex of wood boards, sandpaper, acrylic paint, sponges and print experiments drying on a line. I’m smitten with wood lithography mokulito, and if you’re interested in seeing more, let me know in the comments. You can subscribe to this blog to get each post via email here.
What are you printing or painting this season? Just say hello. I always love hearing from you.

P.S. Do you know about the Association of Print Scholars?
I liked to draw . . . also adventure in the woods mostly by myself. I was especially fond of kites and swimming. As an older boy, I did not have much schooling, but I learned what education I have from reading books, listening to conversation and traveling.Printmaker Dox Thrash (1893-1965)

This is so exciting to try – can be so spontaneous and yet structured. The top print is fabulous – it looks mixed media, even a touch of collage. Thank you Belinda for sharing your energy and art.
I would like to confirm -the plywood can be reused numerous times?
I would like to use Mokulito in my art class and need to consider this in terms of my budget.
Yes, you can both print the plywood mokulito image over and over again, and then sand the wood surface clean again and re-apply your pigments to create a brand new image. It’s excellent fun.
Belinda, I’m intrigued by Mokulito done with acrylic. I’ve done the Ewa Budka type using tusche or crayon. So your method looks a bit easier in some respects. Looking forward to more posts with details about the beginning of this process.
Wonderful. PS the Polish book is already translated in the second half of the slide show you linked. Hooray!
Hi Shelley – What?!? That’s great news! I didn’t scroll all the way through, so thank you for that tidbit! Yayyyy!
Thank you so much for all of this information!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the prints you made.
I am very anxious to learn this/take a workshop.
I could ask a million questions, but for now, I will ask: What kind and thickness of wood did you use?
Thanks again for all of you print making posts— a delight for the eyes and a boon for the spirit always!!!’👏🏻❤
Hello, Angela, Thanks very much for the compliments. The wood is Baltic Birch ply, and it’s 1/4 inch thick. Maple works well too. 🙂
Such a lovely, quiet scene. . . lamp, flowers, curtains and light. . . you have a wonderful eye! Thank you for the inspiration. I’m always delighted to see your posts in my in box!
Hi Judith, Thanks for that sweet encouragement. I hope the inspiration sets all your art supplies in motion. 🙂
Love your posts! Don’t stop!!
It’s lovely to see a different form of print making.
Hi Diana, I appreciate your feedback, and I agree that new printmaking methods are so fun and inspiring to watch!
Think I’m smitten too! Please keep taking us along on your printmaking adventures. And thank you for the reference list — very much appreciated. Happy mokulito!
Hi Louise, Thanks for that encouragement, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the reference list… I hope you get to take a workshop!
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful new adventure in printmaking! I’ve always loved the look of litho but it’s not easily accessible. This however, looks like so much fun with similar results. Please keep sharing. I look forward to learning more.
Hi Pam, I’ve always watched stone lithography from afar, and marveled at the breadth of mark-making – from drawn line to transparent washes. This approach makes it non-toxic, and doable from home. I hope you get a chance to take a workshop with Jeff Sippel. His demos and articulation of the process are excellent!
Belinda, I love this! I’d never heard of mokulito before. I love being able to see the woodgrain in the print. Thank you for this gorgeous post and the introduction to mokulito.
Hi Candy – thanks so much for the feedback, and I hope you venture into some mokulito tutorials to give it a try. The prints are unlike anything I’ve seen, and they’re so fun to make!
This is a post with amazing information, Belinda. I always appreciate your posts, they are so generous. But here!! a new technique I had zero knowledge about. Thank you.
PS: the website link is a project I’m working on
Hi David, Thank you for the enthusiastic encouragement, and for sharing your latest project! I love the way you blend words and prints, and how they connect to add a more visceral reaction to the text. Bravo.
Is the basis of your mokulito with the lamp a photo or a painting?
Hi Cindy, The origin of the image was a cell phone snapshot of a table in my house, and the wood plate holds a painting of the scene done in a single color of acrylic heavy body paint. You can see the painting on the wood plate in process near the top of the page. Does that answer your question?
I feel your excitement and would love to see more of your experiments!
Hi Angharad – Thanks for the feedback on the Mokulito! Happy printing!

Is it odd that my early 04 6.0 doesn't have exhaust manifold gaskets?
As long as Ive had the truck it never has had them? Are the necessary?

Great sushi! Plenty of options for lunch, very casual atmosphere, server was not overly friendly. Recommend as the sushi was excellent.
Walking back to hotel and decided to have sushi. It's a little expensive but the sushimi was very good. The service was good and since I got this to go fast. I hadn't thought about asking for chopsticks and happy that they included in the bag.
We are here after a recommendation from the concierge at our hotel. This was the best sushi and sashimi meal I have had since returning from Japan last summer. I had the Godzilla roll and my husband had a sashimi platter. Service was excellent and I would highly recommend.
We were staying at a nearby hotel so we decided to try Kabuki based on the reviews. We really liked the lunch special where you could get 3 different rolls and the place was very efficient. Would certainly go back again.
My only sushi spot.
good sushi (very fresh) and special rolls. try the pink lady roll. staff is helpful. good service and price
I came here for lunch on a Saturday and tried their Teriyaki Chicken, which they serve with soup or salad (I ordered the soup) and with rice. Chicken was tender, and very delicious, the teriyaki sauce was really good! This restaurant is near Reading Market Terminal and the Convention Center, and it's very easy to get to. Service is excellent. Great find!
Amazing rolls... the crazy Friday and the Godzilla were �... dessert the tempura fried green tea ice cream yum...
The sushi was fresh, well made, and delicious! The have a great Lunch deal, 3 Sushi Rolls for like $12.50ish comes with Miso Soup or Salad. I’m definitely going back. The waitstaff was polite, and the service was excellent. I’d recommend Anything with Salmon, the Eel rolls with their amazing sauce, or this spicy other fish.. yellowfin or something, my friend got it and it was my favorite of all. Thanks!
Getting my Sushi fix
Great food and service
We discovered this restaurant during a recent stay in Philly. Located next to the Convention Center and Marriott, it is a great spot for lunch or dinner. It is BYOB (there's a wine and liquor shop around the corner). it's also small so it fills up at peak times. We ate here for dinner two times during our stay. The food is superb. We had Bento boxes and sushi, both of which were superb. The service was friendly and quick.
I’ve been here twice and I have not been disappointed � If you’re in Philadelphia stop by here
Yellowfin with apple sushi my wife enjoyed. I had the beef teriyaki bento box with California roll sushi. Lunch was enjoyed by all.
very small, making for a cozy ambiance. Friendly and helpful wait person. The food was fantastic. The food was served on authentic Japanese dishes and looked too good to eat.
A small cozy friendly welcoming place. Excellent food. This is the place my family goes when we want Japanese food in Philly. Highly recommended.
Even with the place being busy, service was quick, welcoming, and efficient. The food was excellent and just how i like it! I ordered the miso soup, a California roll, and the spicy tuna roll. It was all excellent!
My coworker and I had checked into a nearby hotel and wanted dinner before settling in. We stopped in and had a great meal. I had a specialty role and Philadelphia role (because come on, I was in Philly). Great service, solid sushi, no complaints.
Fresh... great recommendations... super staff... immaculate... little surprise of a spot. Definitely go back
Excellent sushi...i think it is the best sushi I have ever had, and excellent service.
