TURNER AUDIO AM-FM TUNER
With tubed multiplex stereo decoder.
This page contains :-
Picture of the AM/FM tuner.
History of my tuner design, Schematics for FM input front end,
10.7MHz IF strip and ratio detector,
stereo multiplex decoder, AM tuner and audio detector,
power supply and full explanations of how it all works.
There is nothing fabulously good looking about this fully tubed
which was once a very mediocre sample of a Trio tubed AM-FM
receiver with 5
watt SE channels from the late 1950s.
It is an experimental radio tuner and for my own use only so I
have not bothered
to have the front panel professionally re-created.
In the earlier edition of this website I had a page on the
multiplex stereo decoder
I had fitted within the above Trio AM-FM receiver which I had
I bought the Trio cheaply for the purpose of being able to educate
tubed am/fm tuners and multiplex decoders.
What I learned immediately was how poorly the Trio RF and IF
and how poorly the stereo decoder worked, and in general how
poorly the unit
was designed. In stereo FM the sound was like listening to to
music coming via
a long drain pipe. I couldn't figure what exactly what was wrong,
and I forced
myself to learn a lot. Einstein said things should be designed
simply as possible,
but no simpler.
Sure, Trio had done things too simply.
I spent many days reading the dusty and mouldy old books in the
National University basement archives where I found many
servicing advice for late 1950s and early 1960s tubed FM receivers
books from which some makers had based their circuitry upon.
In about 1999 I revised the IF design and ratio detector and I
existing multiplex decoder with one shown on my earlier website
but the stereo separation above 5kHz was poor due to the
phase shifts occurring in steep cut filters before the matrixing
L & R output signals.
Late in 2005 I returned to my old receiver and removed all the
amp circuitry to allow the receiver unit to become a dedicated
some additional tubes in the multiplex decoder and to allow better
the power supply.
The multiplex decoder is based on the principles used in the early
multiplex unit made for the early tubed Quad FM tuner. Quad's
"MPX" unit used just 3 transistors and some diodes, and was not a
performer, mainly because of the use of only 3 transistors.
But Quad knew what they were doing and they wanted to quickly do
something to satisfy demand for stereo FM.
But I can say my tuner is now a Turner Tuner, but based upon the
of my father's generation.
I will happily compare it to a Leak Troughline tuner or any other
Scott, Eico, etc.
The schematics of the whole tuner are below.
FM input stages,
This front end is about as simple as possible and yet there are
and is little different from an original Trio circuit from 1958.
I found the emission of one of the 6AQ8 of the original was low
and so I revised
the heaters to suit a 12AT7 which can replace the less common 6AQ8
other circuit changes.
The circuit has automatic frequency control which I leave
but you can still tune along the band OK with the stations popping
from one to
the next without to much drag from the AFC. The tuning stability
is so good that
once tuned, it stays on a station for days. Tuning methods are
10.7MHz IF amps, limiter and ratio detector.
The IF amps and limiter are very conventional for the era.
The limiter works as a grossly overloaded single ended pentode
which is coupled
with tuned transformers.
The signals entering the V6 limiter grid do not have to be strong
to reach a
threshold level above which clipping occurs and any further grid
level will not produce much increase in output amplitude levels.
The signals applied
to V6 grid are many times the threshold for the beginning of
limiting during normal
The greater the antenna signal, the greater is the IF signal, and
so variations in
amplitude are rejected by the limiter and so are bursts of noise.
The frequency variations of the 10.7MHz signal remain well
the audio and multiplex info remains intact despite the limiting
Only variations in amplitude are limited and only the frequency
are passed to the ratio detector which itself tends to be less
amplitude variations than Foster Seeley or some other types of
for FM radios. The grid current of the V5 6AU6 limiter produces a
across C8 which is applied back along R5,6,7 to previous stages to
current draw of the 3 pentodes once a station is tuned. The tuner
seems to like a
high level of input signal from local stations to achieve really
low noise levels.
Two meters are used to indicate tuning.
Station tuning is correct when the signal strength meter needle
leans to the right
as much as possible. The zero volt meter is adjusted for 0V, the
position, while tuning for maximum signal strength. The IF
aligned to get maximum IF gain and limiting negative voltage using
a 10.7MHz test
oscillator. The ratio detector transformer is tuned to get maximal
signal at the lowest THD when the zero volt meter reads 0Vdc in
its centre position.
When tuning the station, the signal strength is indicated by the
meter deriving a voltage from the cathode of V4 at R8 and V5.
As signal strength increases, negative grid bias is generated at
V5 6AU6 limiter
because of grid current charging of C8 due to V5 overloading and
the bias voltage
is used as an automatic gain controlling voltage, AGC, applied to
V3, V4 IF amps.
The signal at V4 cathode goes more negative when a station is
tuned so the
applied negative going voltage is applied across the signal meter
which has a
slight positive voltage applied to one side via R1/R2 divider from
the supply B+.
Once the station is tuned, the 0V signal derived from the ratio
"centre point" between R15/R16 and is applied to the grid of
V1a. V2b is
the RF oscillator which oscillates at 10.7MHz below the FM station
The oscillator tank LC circuit is connected to the anode circuit
The dc applied signal at V1a grid varies its transconductance and
capacitance looking into the anode circuit of V1a becomes variable
to the applied dc grid voltage. The amount of capacitance
variation is quite
small in the region of a few pF, but at 100MHz 2pF has a large
effect on oscillator
tuning frequency, and the circuit is so arranged that if the ratio
a dc offset voltage due to the IF frequency drifting away from
10.7MHz, since the
oscillator has drifted, then that dcV tends to cause a capacitance
V1a which opposes such a change to the oscillator frequency, so
any effect of
drift due to temperature is reduced about tenfold and the set
remains well tuned.
Slight dcV offsets of +/- 1V are not enough to upset the linearity
of the composite
signal output from the ratio detector.
Without AFC there would be far greater dcV offsets and tuning
not always stay where one sets it, and audible noise and
distortion is the result.
I was thinking of using a 6DT6 quadrature detector but there was
no need because
the ratio detector transformer in the original trio was quite OK.
The ratio detector diodes should be fast silicon signal diodes
such as IN918, etc.
Turner stereo multiplex decoder, 2005
The composite signal without any de-emphasis is amplified by V6
6DJ8 to raise
its level about 6 times. The low impedance signal from V6 cathode
applied to the two seriesed 19kHz bandpass LC filters via C6 to
19kHz and exclude all other F so it can be amplified by V7, 12AT7.
The tuning of seriesed bandpass filters L2/C4, and L3/C5
needs to be fairly
stable to make sure the phase does not vary at the output of the
V7 anode. C4,5 were trimmed to get the phase of the 19kHz at V7
be exactly the same as at V6 cathode. I tuned the L2/C4 and L3/C5
using just the right paralleled values of polystyrene capacitors.
The amplified 19kHz pilot tone is applied to T1 and the full wave
1N4007 produce a 38kHz signal at R12, which is applied to V8 A
V8A&B, 6CG7, form a 38kHz oscillator which is synchronized or
by the incoming 38khz signal at R12. The balanced output of tuned
a clean 38 kHz sign wave. The tuning of T2 and T1 can make the
signal have the correct phase relationship with the 38kHz
carrier signal containing L - R AM modulation. The 38kHz
carrier signal must have the correct phase relationship to the
suppressed carrier double sideband signal and this phase
dependent on the tuning of the 19kHz bandpass filters of L2/C4,
as well as the tuning of T1, and T2. T1 has one ferrite tuning
slug and and
T2 has two, and its a little difficult to describe exactly how I
got it all to align,
but it does, and it didn't vary much once adjusted when the tuner
is warmed up.
It is important to do alignment when such a tuner is well warmed
up so tuning
errors occur only when the tuner is cool, with some warmth then
The double bandpass filters of L2/C4, L3/C5 are necessary to stop
of lower frequencies from entering the V7 19kHz amplifier since
harmonics tend to make the 19kHz vary in amplitude and phase
which can then cause the 38kHz re-constructed carrier also vary
amplitude and phase thus upsetting the fidelity of the recovered
stereo L and
The transmitter may or may not have a notch filter to remove audio
between say 18kHz and 20kHz before they add in a constant
19kHz pilot tone.
But in observations of some signals on the band I found some
tone to appear to have some amplitude variations. if high level
harmonics of 9.5kHz audio tones occur, they can end up in the
in the receiver.
(((( There is good reason that the 38kHz carrier component of the
AM signal modulated with L-R audio is not simply included in the
signal. It may have made detection audio of L-R much easier but
amplitude of the modulation signal used to modulate the frequency
100MHz FM carrier would be too high, about 6dB greater. The system
only +/- 75kHz variation in 100MHz carrier and it is the F
determines the amplitude of recovered audio. If there was less
used for the L+R main signal the SNR would be worse and if
deviation was allowed, bandwidth occupied by a station would be
so only 1/2 the stations would fit onto the 88 - 108 MHz band.
Because deviations allowed is +/-75kHz, we only need an IF
300kHz to ensure there is minimal compression with a restricted IF
bandwidth. When they dreamed up the Zenith-GE FM stereo
in the late 50s, tubes were still king, and whatever was adopted
stereo standard had to be not just possible but reliable using
The system also allowed for additional sub-carriers to be added
modulation composite signal but here in Australia we don't need to
filters to remove 67kHz or other carriers, although the higher
used on some stations to carry a whole extra radio station's mono
One station I know which catered for horse racing broadcasts also
the BBC News radio station which could be received using a special
to retrieve the signal from the composite. A customer I had once
build and install a kit to receive such signals and amazingly it
very well. ))))
The cathode follower signal from V6 is also applied to the bridged
LC filter ( L1 ) tuned at 19kHz to reject the 19kHz pilot tone
which has an
amplitude of 10% of the maximum audio amplitude.
This is a band stop filter with a very high Q, and all audio L+R
and the 38kHz double sideband signal with L-R modulation sidebands
is all allowed to pass and is applied to the T2 CT of the T2
The floating secondary is magnetically coupled to the T2 primary
so the the 38kHz oscillator signal is thus added to the total
including suppressed carrier DSB signal, but not including the
tone. The signal at each end of the centre tapped T2 secondary has
phased 38kHz signals. But the phase of the composite signal is the
each end of T2 secondary. So you can draw the wave forms if you
are really keen.
The wave forms are simplest where you have just one channel that
I have drawn up all the wave forms and do know what is happening,
than spoon feed everyone, do try to draw the wave forms yourself.
Should you not do this exercise using a 10kHz audio sine wave tone
channel then you may not ever understand the schematic I have
you won't know how to build and get this schematic to work for
you, and you
won't get good stereo separation.
The output of T2 secondary is applied to each side of the diode
demodulator. This is the part that hardly anyone understands but
flow in alternate directions at a rate of 38kHz in R13&R14, or
the diodes control the direction of flow. At C16 and C17, the L
signal and R
signal is created due to the mixing of L-R audio modulation
amplitudes of the
38khz carrier and the L+R audio signals present. The audio waves
and C17 look like audio F sine waves but with a staircase 38kHz
imposed upon them. This basically is switching noise. The C16 and
audio signals are applied to the high impedance inputs of the
follower V9A&B and the low impedance output signal from the
applied to a bandpass filter, see left channel, R26, C24, L4, C26.
removes the switching artefacts, ie, the 38kHz staircase waves.
The de-emphasis for the L&R channels is achieved with the
effects of R17&C16, R18&C17 and the low pass filters. The
after the LPF is taken to a switch for selecting FM stereo, FM
mono, or AM mono.
The output from the switch is buffered with a second cathode
V13A&B, and the output taken to the outside world. The FM mono
signal is taken
from the V6 cathode follower after the 19kHz notch filter and
applied to the
de-emphasis and 35kHz bandstop filter before being taken to the
mono FM selection. This method of deriving the mono signal allows
mono signal to be independently gained without just summing
L&R signals after
they have been passed through the diode matrixing ring
demodulator, so the
distortion of the mono signal should always be less than the
The sound quality does not change when switching from stereo FM to
FM except that the the stereo signal gives good stereo imaging,
and so I
could say the THD is less than 2% at a high signal level. Perhaps
it is better
but there probably is some THD in my signal generator based on the
BA1404 chip which is not a best quality chip to produce a stereo
signal. The sound is very listenable and compares very favourably
recent FM tuners using all silicon chip based circuits.
Separation of channels is better than 35dB between 30Hz and 15kHz.
I tested with a signal gene which allows me to apply a different
wave to each channel of the signal gene. The 96MHz FM stereo test
is then received by an FM radio under test and the amount of each
signal in each channel can be displayed on a dual trace
When one channel only has modulation, the amount of signal
the other channel at -35dB compared to the channel with its
the reference 0dB.
I was able to use the existing T2 38kHz transformer that was in
Trio circuit. I wound the coils used for L1 and T1. L2,3, 4,5 were
inductors I had acquired; they worked, but anyone could wind such
inductors using some fine 0.1mm dia wire and a ferrite bobbin.
Every single capacitor and resistor has a critical value and
several reasons why it has been chosen. C2,3 are used to tweak the
response of the composite signal amp, V6, If the C2/3 are not the
the separation will be poor.
There would be those who may be tempted to try a phase
locked loop for
synchronizing the 38kHz oscillator to the pilot tone. I have not
this method, but it would be quire acceptable to use a chip for
once the locking or synchronizing of the 38kHz oscillator carrier
achieved, there will be no difference to the audio.
AM tuner and audio detector.
The tube line up in this AM BROADCAST BAND for 500kHz to
1,700kHz front end is very common in many radios of the 1950s
for the features which make the audio performance a lot better
old AM radios and tuners......
On the 6BE6 oscillator grid input, there is an unusual network of
and R1 is in series with the oscillator grid. This network is a
one of those
ceramic cap filters with CRC within, and common in Japanese
that era. This was in the original Trio circuit which I think is
an attempt to
filter out the oscillator harmonic currents which could cause
pick up from short wave stations because if the harmonics of the
currents and short wave stations have a difference in F of 455 kHz
will be included in the IF signals and detected by the audio
On IFT1, there is a tertiary winding of about 10 turns placed over
the top of
a normal IFT primary. The wire is about 0.15mm dia, and well
from the B+ in the primary. When this coil is switched in
series with the
secondary, the IF bandwidth response is much widened, and in fact
slightly double peaked. This gives much wider and flat audio
the two IFT responses are summed after the IF signal is amplified
by V11, 6BA6.
Tuning is supposed to be easiest with the IFT1 tertiary switched
out so that
there is a single peak in the IF response, but in fact the
original Trio IFTs do
give a slightly twin peaked IF response even when ever so
However, setting the tuning for between the two slight peaks is
Then the tertiary is switched in and the IF bandwidth is increased
8kHz to 16kHz, thus permitting audio bandwidth increase from 4kHz
Tone control by the listener can boost the treble to about 10kHz
so not much
is lost from transmitted signals which contain up to 9kHz of audio
at least here in Australia. The tuning meter is not a Trio item
and a suitable
meter was set up as I needed to to measure the V11 dc current.
Virtually nobody else uses the cathode follower buffer, ( V12,
6AU6 ), after
the last IFT secondary. But not only does this CF isolate the
of the diode detector from the secondary of the 6BA6, it provides
impedance output to drive the 1N914 silicon diode detector. I have
detector circuit as shown to give lower thd than a tube diode
The grid of the IFT2 sec is biased at +31V to give some idle
current in the
cathode R9 and to trickle a small current in the 1N914 diode via
so that the non-linear turn on character of the diode is avoided,
since it is
always slightly turned on by the idle dc flow.
However, the AVC voltage is gained from C18 and 1N914 which are
off the IFT2 sec because their loading effect is so slight. A
slight negative bias
is maintained on the AVC line, about -1.8V at the bottom of C16,
to stop too
much Ia flow in tubes when no AVC voltage is being generated when

The detector output is divided down by R16&R17 to give about a
volt rms of
output when a local station is tuned. Further slight boost of

This is a very simple power supply for a tubed tuner.
It has some zener diode shunt regulators for the input stages for

After three months of work, the audio book version of “The Big Bend” is now up for sale on Audible.com (www.audible.com). It is over eleven hours of listening and priced at $24.95 ($17.46 for members). The link to the book page at Audible is:
Just below the CD cover art you will find a link to a 2-minute audio sample.
The audio version will also become available on both Amazon.com and iTunes.com by mid-week next.
I cannot adequately describe my feelings at this point; pleasure, yes, a sense of accomplishment, certainly, excitement – well, of course I am excited. This opens a completely new market for my work; new ‘listeners’ and a new revenue stream. Well, I hope it becomes a new revenue stream, anyway.
We – myself and the narrator, Neill D. Hicks, are hard at work on producing “Hog Valley” as an audio book. The first chapter is complete, and chapters 2 and 3 are being edited and prepped for delivery as we speak (sic). “Twisted Key” and “Lonesome Cove” will also be converted to audio format in their turn over the next year.
In the meantime – in whatever spare time I have – I am working on chapter 3 of “Standing Wave”, the fifth novel in the Terry Rankin series. I had hoped to have it published for the Kindle in time for the Christmas selling season, but that goal has slipped to some time in February, due to the work on converting the existing novels to audio format. I am not complaining, mind; a boy has to have some priorities, and as I grow older (if not more mature) I begin to learn – or at least acquire through harsh experience – that I do have some limits on what I can accomplish in any given time period.
Along with the writing, I also have four horses, a dozen or so (it’s hard to keep up) Tennessee Fainting goats, two large and loveable Great Pyrenees dogs and a barn cat to feed, and a large piece of property that needs mowing, fence repair and tree trimming. Do understand that I do not own this place; I live here, and I care for and about the property and all who live on it. What I do, I do for the sheer, unalloyed pleasure of the doing.
I have very little complain about in my life, and a great deal of thanks to my G-d and my friends and my readers (many of whom have become my friends over the years) for what I have, and that is as it should be. I would be nowhere in my life without each and every one of them.

While last week Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan showed us how to supplement an X-factor to a elementary tee-jeans looks, this week a actors seem to be in a mood for experimenting. Kangana Ranaut’s classical take on winter conform will make we wish to reconstruct her demeanour while Priyanka Chopra’s surprising colour combination will make we consider twice – usually a confidant can go forward with it.
Here’s a roundup of some of a engaging airfield looks from this week.
Ranaut looked rather grand dressed in a Gucci tee and blue spare jeans that she layered with an overcoat from Loewe. Tying her hair in a neat updo, she dull off her demeanour with oversized sunnies, black boots and a Hermes handbag.
Styled by Shaleena Nathani, a Padmaavat actor was seen wearing a striped, dual-tone shirt, half tucked-in. It was teamed with a span of blue jeans and black heels. Keeping her make-up minimal, she accessorised her outfit with a black purse and dim sunnies.
Sara Ali Khan
Khan opted for an racial outfit while sashaying down a airport. She looked poetic dressed in an ivory salwar fit teamed with an festooned orange dupatta. Minimal make-up and soothing wavy hairdo accentuated her demeanour beautifully.
Chauhan kept her infrequent character on indicate as she picked a span of blue jeans teamed with a knotted, striking tee from Cover Story. She combined an engaging component to her demeanour by accessorising with an festooned fanny pack. Sleek hairdo and a dewy glaze gave finishing touches to her look.
For those who adore experimenting with their sartorial choices, Priyanka Chopra’s latest conform matter would be a good pick. The Quantico star was seen wearing a span of flared, maroon trousers teamed with an animal print, turtle-neck top. A neutral make-up palette and a neat hairdo complemented her look.
Whose demeanour would we like to recreate? Let us know in a comments territory below.

Challenge to Unity Party
Amos Goodman, chairman of the East Hampton Town Republican Committee, has challenged petitions David Lys submitted to the Suffolk County Board of Elections last month to create the East Hampton Unity Party.
Mr. Lys, a town councilman appointed to his post in January, offered himself as a candidate for the new independent political party in an effort to ensure he remains on the Nov. 6 ballot even if he loses today’s Democratic primary.
Mr. Lys had changed his party registration from Republican to Democratic last year before being appointed to his post. He faces David Gruber, who formed a splinter group called the East Hampton Reform Democrats, in today’s primary.
Mr. Goodman, who successfully challenged the East Hampton Independence Party’s petitions for Mr. Gruber to appear on its line on the November ballot, said on Tuesday that his challenge would not be settled before today’s primary election, but “by my count they’re short of what’s the statutory requirement.” The petition requires 320 valid signatures; Mr. Goodman charged that only about 260 of approximately 383 submitted are valid.
Unlike his challenge to the Independence Party’s nominating petitions, in which he accused that party’s officials of fraud, Mr. Goodman said he is simply trying to ascertain the validity of the signatures. He described the move as “strictly a technical challenge,” referring to requirements including that signatories be residents of the town and that they have not signed another nominating petition.

This is the 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper. Each new In Color comes in 4 different patterns in 6″ x 6″ sheets. This paper will be available with the new catalog and it’s so nice to use with the In Color card stock. I always get one of these paper packs when the new catalog comes out, it adds so many possibilities!
Here’s a close up of the card that could be used for a guy card. It’s just a snap to put together. I’m happy to have this on hand to pull out when I need a “non-frilly” card! 🙂 🙂
Only 2 Weeks Left to Take Advantage of my Fabulous May Host Code Gift! It’s Really Good!
Get a FREE Embossing Folder From Me Just for Ordering This Month!!
The Very Versailles stamp set is one of my favorites. And, I’m SO HAPPY that it’s being held over into the new Annual Catalog! I got so excited when I saw that it was staying another year, I just had to create a card!! 🙂
The front on this card has several layers: the first layer is a Crumb Cake card stock base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4.” The next layer is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla card stock that has been dry embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder, and then lightly sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink using a sponge dauber. Adhere to the card base with Multipurpose Glue.
A 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla card stock was stamped on the lower right side with the large script stamp and Crumb Cake ink. Then the beautiful branch/leaf stamp was stamped on the lower left side in Pretty Peacock ink. The leaves may stamp over the script, but that’s ok. The top portion of this piece was then gently torn off close to but not further than the stamped area. This was adhered over the embossed piece, again with Multipurpose Glue.
The little “Thank You” sentiment was stamped on a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock using Pretty Peacock ink. It was cut out with the smallest little label die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered to the card using a Stampin’ Dimensional. This sentiment and the die are just so tiny and cute ~ I love them!!

I have two cards for you: one uses Granny Apple Green card stock and ink, and the other one uses the retiring Lovely Lipstick card stock and ink. Would you like to have a video tutorial that walks you through every step of making this card? Well, voila! You have one here today!!
Which color do you like best? The Granny Apple Green will be staying with us, but Lovely Lipstick is retiring on June 3rd and won’t be available after that date. It’s one of our 5 retiring In Colors.
Each item in the Ornate Garden Suite is wonderful, but I think the Ornate Layers Dies are the most versatile and probably the item I will use the most. I love lacy look of the frames!
Don’t miss out on the Retiring In Colors! Please order now, as they sell out even before the final retiring date. Click HERE to order!
The NEW Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper is so pretty, I can’t stop using it! On today’s cards I’ve just used a bit of it from my favorite pattern in the set, the large floral pattern.
There are four patterns in this set of papers, and three sheets of each pattern. The papers have silver and copper foils that create the patterns, and they are so pretty. The cross hatch pattern is all in copper foil and looks very nice as a background piece on a card. You can see the floral pattern that I used on the top of the set above. For today’s design I fussy cut the larger flowers and sponged them with Sponge Daubers.
Here is my Facebook Live from last Friday with a tutorial for making these cards. If you’d like to join my Facebook Lives, pop over to my Facebook page on Fridays at 4:00 PM PDT: https://www.facebook.com/PrettyPaperCards/
This card looks a bit different in each color. The one below was made with Blushing Bride card stock, Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, and Whisper White card stock. The flower was sponged with Sponge Daubers using Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green ink.
The card below uses Pretty Peacock card stock for the sentiment, Purple Posy card stock for the embossed piece, Woven Threads Designer Series Paper for the background piece, and sponging with Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green ink.
And the third card uses Rich Razzleberry card stock for the sentiment, Purple Posy card stock, Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper for the background piece, and sponging with Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green ink. You can tell I had lots of fun with these cards!
5 NEW Fabulous FREE Sale-a-Bration Gifts Only available until March 31st

Today’s card features the the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set which is currently FREE with a $50 order! This is what I call an “easy going” stamp set. It’s comfortable, nothing big and flashy, but sweet images and sentiments that comfortably fit any occasion.
For this card I started with a Whisper White card base. I added a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece from a card in the Kerchief Card Kit (a sold-out Sale-a-Bration item). I’ve been trying to use parts of other kits in my current cards. I stamped this piece with some of the stamps in this set. I used Night of Navy ink and Lovely Lipstick ink.
One of the sentiments from the set was stamped on a piece of Whisper White card stock and cut out with a circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies.
Just for fun I added a fun die cut from the Parisian Dies. It’s the swirly Night of Navy piece you see above tucked under the circle. It’s really a fun die ~ you can just add it in anywhere to any card, and it gives a little modern flair!!
The Thoughtful Blooms stamp set is FREE and the only way you can get it is by placing a $50 order. I mean, how often are you told that a great stamp set is FREE? You’ve just got to have it! 🙂 So, get out your wish list, place that order, and add the Thoughtful Blooms as your FREE GIFT! Easy!

For me, the two most important elements in a dish are soul and emotion.
To put soul into a dish it needs different layers of taste, textures and temperatures. The presentation wherein I put my emotion is an essential part of the soul. The highest level I can reach is when the dish grows into a memory of our guests. It’s not only the flavour that creates this memory but also the atmosphere in and around the restaurant. The simplicity of the interior with an open view, the walk through the garden and the visit to the kitchen are part of this experience.
I love our garden. My favourite vegetable in the garden is tomato. Through years I got fascinated by all the varieties. Together with the gardeners we have developed 102 varieties and the collection is still growing. Guests can visit the greenhouses where they can see tomatoes grow. From mid June until September we serve a selection of our tomatoes which are the main element of one of my signature dishes. Initially guests are surprised by the simplicity of the dish. They think it’s just another tomato salad but when they start tasting they discover different colours (red/orange/green/ white/ yellow), flavours (sweet /sour) and textures. They don’t expect so much depth from one simple ingredient in combination with fresh goat cheese, cardamom, French marigold flower and a fresh tomato juice. It became one of my signature dishes which varies every year depending on what nature gives us.
Our motto: Simplicity is not simple!

Matthew Cody Carlson (born November 5, 1963) is a former professional American football player who was selected by the Houston Oilers in the 3rd round of the 1987 NFL Draft. A 6'3", 200-lb. quarterback from Baylor University, Carlson played in seven NFL seasons and his entire career with the Oilers from 1988 to 1994. His nickname while with the Oilers was Commander Cody.
Carlson began his career with the Houston Oilers as a backup to Warren Moon, and his most productive season was during the 1992 season due to Moon getting injured. He passed for 1,710 yards in 11 games (6 starts). Overall, he posted a 10–4 record as a starter during his years as Moon's backup. Moon departed after the 1993 season with Carlson named as his starting replacement. However, he lasted only five games into the 1994 season, posting a 1–4 record and 44.7 completion percentage before he suffered an injury and missed the remainder of the year. The Oilers ended the season with a franchise-worst 2-14 record. The coaching change in the middle of the 1994 season signaled a new direction for the Oilers, and, with Carlson coming off his injury, the team opted to let him go. He retired after the 1994 NFL season.
He now lives in Austin, Texas.

Celebrate the holiday with us. We'll be serving up our regular menu along with feature items.
Sunday, May 13, 2018
Hop on in and celebrate the holiday with us. We will be offering our regular menu along with featured items.
Sunday, April 1, 2018
Usually enjoy meals at Legal’s. However this is the second time that I have been disappointed. Both times the fried food was over cooked- almost borderline burnt. My husband had fried shrimp and I had the trio with shrimp, calamari and fish. Perhaps we need to say please do not fry so hard. Not sure.
Food was okay at best
Service after we ordered was lacking, I couldn’t track down my server to refill the water. He never checked in to see if meal was cooked properly....
The food was excellent as always. The service was great our waitress was very attentive. Great time!
calamari appetizer was not fresh, sesame tuna , bad cut of tuna did not taste fresh. kids salmon dish was cooked well done, wait staff forgot to bring out a salad. Something is happening with this organization..... not what it used to be
Amazing tuna stuffed avocado!!! A MUST!!!
Great service and perfect spot before a movie!
Something on the menu for everyone!!!
I ordered a drink at the bar while waiting for my table. When the table was ready, they insisted I pay for the drink rather than adding it to the dinner check. Not a real big deal except that it took them 5 minutes to process my credit card.
My wife ordered sautéed sole, which I tasted. It was supposed to have a wine sauce but I couldn't taste it. The fish also seemed to be cooked in too much oil so maybe that overwhelmed the flavor.
I was going to order the lobster risotto, but the waiter didn't know what the market price was. When I asked him for a recommendation, he really couldn't tell me much about any of the dishes. In the end, I ordered the salmon which I did enjoy.
The place is setup like a sports bar, maybe that's why it's called the C bar, but expect to see a lot of TVs.
Great food and service
Food was great but the service was terrible. We went to celebrate special occasions but once our food came out no one checked on us at all. No water refills and they forgot a few items. After waiting a long while after for the check that never came I went to the register to get it myself. Then I had to go back to the register to get them to run the payment. Unfortunate that the service was so bad because the food was very good.
Food was Legslvwudlity- just don’t care for that cold, industrial look- no cozy feeling at all!
I’m pretty sure our waiter wanted to be anywhere but here. Very unfriendly, unsmiling.
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time. We were setting in a timely manner, the waitress was very pleasant and attentive. The drinks from the bar were amazing. I have a gluten allergy and the manager was great with delivering our food because of the allergy. We had a bunch of appetizers and there were not brought all at once, but staggered. The over all experience was wonderful, and I suggest it for any girls night out!
We were seated in a great location on the second level overlooking the kitchen prep. Our waiter was attentive and had extra help. The New England clam chowder was delicious on a cold night. The lobster bake was excellent and a very generous portion of seafood. Overall we had a wonderful, relaxing dining experience. I would definitely return to this location again.
Food was very good as usual. Prices for drinks and appetizers are a little pricey but the entrees were cooked perfectly.
New Year’s Eve
Having Birthday celebration for my daughter...excellent service from Stephen! Seated 30 minutes sooner that our reservation- a plus for us seated at the bar. Seafood Paella was excellent and used the genuine rice from Spain.
I came in with my niece and nephew for a quick lunch this past Saturday.
Food, service, and ambiance never disappoints.
My go-to restaurant for a great Caesar salad with extra anchovies.
The kids were introduced to bon bons and were hooked immediately.
There were lobster shells in my lobster Mac and cheese! Unacceptable. I will not be back.
Legal C Bar food and service was excellent, as always. We shared our appetizers and enjoyed them all. My companions were enthusiastic about their cocktails, and our entrees (paella, trout, sole francese) were delicious and very filling. In fact, we ended up with some leftovers to take home. The only downside to this restaurant is that the atmosphere is very bare bones and it can be noisy when full.
Great grilled salmon and fried fisherman’s platter that was not on the menu and made up special to order! Outstanding service from our waiter Roberto. Legal Seafood never disappoints.
A very relaxing lunch even though it was very busy at Legal. The Nantucket Bay scallops were absolutely delicious. Love the fried vegetables and how the meal waa served in a little fry basket! The fried clams were also served hot and were delicious!
This wasn't our first time at the Legal C Bar and, as usual, it didn't disappoint! We got the specials - mahi mahi gyros with feta tater tots and salmon tacos; both were quite good. The gyros were a little off in the proportion of lettuce to--well, everything--but the mahi mahi was outstanding and the tots were delightful. My hubby definitely enjoyed his salmon tacos. Great location with tons of free parking and shopping/movies in the same complex. We'll be back again, I'm sure!
The food and drinks were great, but our server seemed like he was pushing us out the entire time. It was annoying! He was clearing everything, even napkins ... took my friends drink and it wasn’t finished
Great fish and chips. Add spice. Friday end had fish tacos, also great and great service, quick but not pushy.
I was disappointed with my experience at Legal C in Dedham. We went for a casual Christmas dinner. Our server was very friendly, but our table had 1 special request (no mustard on the Cubano). A manager brought the food out with the server and loudly corrected him as he put one of the meals down. When the manager put the Cubano down, I asked if it was without mustard -- he said that it had no mustard. You can probably tell where this is going-- lots of mustard. When the server came back I said something, he apologized and said he'd get a new one -- we said no as the rest of us already had our food. The manager who incorrectly assured me that the sandwich was prepared as per my order never came back to the table and our bill was not adjusted in any way.
Amazing service, as always! We felt really taken care of by the staff and servers.
Great food and excellent service. Overall, this was a quality meal.
The food, service and atmosphere was excellent. We expect nothing less from the Legal Sea Food group. That is the reason we choose them for our business dinner meetings.
Took my daughter shopping and reserved a table for dinner. Really great service and tasty seafood cooked just right! Legal Cs is worth the drive!
They sit us close to the front door and it was cold. The waiter was asking as most of the time if we wanted more food or drinks and because we said no she brought the bill. We were having a friends dinner and were not in a hurry but the waiter made us feel so. The food was not as good as other times, I wonder if they changed the Chef.
Dined in for our daughter’s birthday. One of the best experiences we have had in a long time at a restaurant. Our server Dave was fantastic and went above and beyond to create a memorable experience. The manager Meredith was also amazing. She made a special birthday dessert plate to celebrate my daughters birthday. My daughter was thrilled. Thank you C-Bar for a great night!
Legal C never disappoints. We are there often and I think have interacted with most the wait staff and they are very consistent. The food is amazing and the speciality drinks are delicious.
The Legal C Bar in Dedham offers a slightly varied menu from the typical Legal restaurant, but its seafood is every bit as good! I eat at this location two or three times a year and look forward to each visit.
Legal C Bar does a good job every time, its the type of restaurant you can count on.
Great spot! We will definitely return in the future.
Another great relaxing dinner for all at Legal C Bar- always accommodating to all of our food requests and changes- great food, drinks and wine- great service-
The seafood at Legals is OK but far from the best available in the Boston area. The dish we like the best here is the tuna burger which is really good.
Very loud. Booth table is awkwardly sized for 4, as you sit far across and the nose level is high.
Great food as usual. The food quality is always great. I cannot say that for all of the restaurants at legacy place in Dedham.

Come Storms Patrick ha cominciato il suo viaggio per il design di logo
Small board game designer creating a game in a city.
Dicci qualcosa su di te e sulle persone che vuoi raggiungere
anyone from 7 to 77
The logo must be in a vector file format.
The ratio must be 2½in × 3½in; 63 mm × 88 mm ( with rounded borders ) -> like any playing cards
There must be a text just below the center in a kind of "jumping out letters blocks"
the name is not defined yet but let's imagine something like "City life"
It should be colorfull and cartoon but realistic.
I do not want to give you too much directions but a metal like background (like attached picture) and in the center buildings comming out of a circle would be nice.
Things that can "come out" (like attached picture)
-> you see the idea...
In a near future I would need the full board designed (in a future contest if I am happy with current results )

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Lawmakers have approved legislation that would require less frequent reporting by the California High-Speed Rail Authority to the state Legislature.
Democrats approved the legislation Monday as part of a Democratic budget package, as they continue to seek a budget compromise with Gov. Jerry Brown.
SB76, a bill dealing with various transportation issues, would cut the current twice-annual reports to the Legislature to once every two years.
High-speed rail spokeswoman Lisa-Marie Alley says that will be more efficient, since the agency already compiles a comprehensive business plan updating the project in even years. The legislative reports will come in odd years.
But Sen. Jeff Stone of Temecula and other Republicans characterized it as a move away from transparency on the controversial $68 billion project.

The Blasters are back! On vinyl, anyway.
It’s been 40 years since the California roots-rockers fronted by singer-guitarist brothers Phil and Dave Alvin exploded onto the scene with instant classics like American Music, Marie Marie and Border Radio. And it’s been almost that long since their catalog went out of print. But that’s about to change. Liberation Hall Records recently announced plans to reissue the band’s classic LPs on vinyl over the coming months. The campaign just kicked off with the fittingly titled new compilation Mandatory, along with the long-overdue return of Phil Alvin’s equally essential 1986 solo album Un “Sung Stories.” Shortly before they arrived, founding Blasters bassist John Bazz and drummer Bill Bateman got on the Zoom to chat about the band’s glory days, how Queen got them into the musicians’ union, Phil’s current health and Police record, and tons more. Enjoy.

BORIE, C. et al. Prevalence and characterization of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli isolated from healthy cattle and pigs slaughtered in Santiago, Chile. Arch. med. vet. [online]. 1997, vol.29, n.2, pp. 205-212. ISSN 0301-732X. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0301-732X1997000200005.
As a contribution to the epidemiology of SHU in Chile, this work was focused on cattle and pigs as a possible reservoir of EHEC. This was achieved by analyzing E. coli isolates from faecal samples of healthy animals slaughtered in two abattoirs in Santiago. EHEC strains were identified by DNA hybridization with specific gene probes for Shiga-like toxin I (SLTI) and II (SLTII). Positive strains were hybridized with specific gene probes for fimbrial adhesin and eae factor, serogrouped and examined for sorbitol fermentability. Among the 136 steers and 120 pigs studied, 39 (28.7%) and 82 (68.3%) were found to carry EHEC strains, respectively. Of the 40 bovine strains that hybridized with two SLT DNA probes, 29 (72.5%) hybridized with only SLTI probe, 6 (15%) hybridized with only SLTII probe and 5 (12.5%) hybridized with both SLTI and SLTII probes. Only 6 (15%) of the 40 EHEC hybridized with fimbrial adhesin probe and 14 (35%) hybridized with eae probe. An important number of strains (14/40) belonged to serogroups O157, O26 and O111; serogroups also commonly isolated from SHU cases in Chile. One steer was found to carry two EHEC strains of different serogroups. 50% of EHEC were sorbitol positive, irrespective of the O serogroup or genotypic profile. Of the 82 pig strains, the predominant cytotoxic profile was SLTI-SLTII (68.3%); only 35 (42.7%) hybridized with fimbrial adhesin probe. An important number of strains (80/82) hybridized with eae probe. The serogroups found were: O157, O26, O111, O114, O119, O126, O127, O128, O142 and O158. Approximately 50% of EHEC strains were sorbitol positive, O157 included. Results obtained in this study strongly suggest that cattle and pigs in Chile are a reservoir of EHEC associated with diseases in humans

Its the year of the Snake and I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful year! I am hoping for great things to come, improving and increasing listenership for the podcast and readership for the blog and so far its been quite a good start for me :)
I did some reshuffling and here is my boardgame collection (minus all the items which I am putting up for an auction coming next sunday (if you are interested and in Singapore, please take a look here http://www.meetup.com/Boardgames-Singapore/messages/boards/thread/31278782).
I will need to find a place to secure them when my brother and family comes over! :)
Over the last 2 weeks or so I played quite a number of games including most of the new games that I have bought from Boardgameshop.eu. Speaking of which, I must praise the shop for having an updated collection (mostly Euro games since, well they are a shop in Europe) and quite affordable shipping rates which makes the games more economical to obtain.
Now lets get on with the games I have played:
I bought this game having only read the reviews on BGG (and there wasn't must information on it yet) as also a filler for my packaged delivery to bring down postage costs. I was eager to give it a try and was I surprised at the fun I had with this little game. Phantom is a 2 player game where players are trying to scare this group of people in a haunted mansion. First player to reach 11 points wins the game. There are 4 locations in the mansion and during your turn you must activate each of them in the order that you choose. When you activate a location, you may pass or play a card. There are 2 types of cards in our hands, Ghost cards which belong to 1 of 4 types and have 1 of 6 characteristics; Place cards which may provide "scare points" as well as increase the number of ghosts that location may hold. If after you activate a location and your "scare points" meet or exceed the scare limits of a single character in that location, you would have successfully scared that person and win points based on that person's character. It is a straight forward set collecting light-medium weight game where you must decide how to position your Floor and Ghost cards in order to be able to scare and score points. There is also much player interaction in the game as there are Ghost cards which will allow you to steal an opponent's ghosts or even Floor cards. For our very first game, we came in surprisingly tight and it was down to the last character in the game to determine the winner. Both of us agree that this is a good game and would like to play it again. The card quality is matt and quite thick but that also means you should sleeve it to allow for ease of shuffling. Artwork is also not too bad. I would recommend you to try before you buy.
We played a 2 player game of Maya which have additional items like the ladders and the priest. Rules are still the same except that if you manage to combine 2 pieces of the same colours together in the same pyramid you get to place a step/ladders at the bottom of that pyramid. At the end of the game you will score 1 point if you have majority of ladders/steps in that pyramid. In addition, if you manage to complete a pyramid (all pieces are the same color), you will be able to place a priest on the top of the temple which will also give you 1 point. Its not a bad game but there are some quirks I think. For example, you may end up doing only 1 possible move during your turn but these instances probably occur nearer to the end of the game where its very hard to be able to find something to move. Fun game and a must try!
Le Havre: The Inland Port
Played another game and it still holds a lot of appeal to me. The way you need to keep looking at your opponents's board and try to predict what he is trying to do and timing your moves just right is a very fun mechanism for me. This feels quite different from a 2 player game of the base game and plays quite fast. I guess the lack of needing to feed makes this version not as stressful as the base game. I predict there will be new buildings in a future expansion (similar to Agricola All Creatures Big and Small) and I will look forward to getting it. Only problem is for people who have never played Le Havre the base game, they will find it hard to visualize why the mechanics (while streamlined from the base game) function in this manner that seems a little bit counter intuitive. For new players, be patient with it and after a few plays I am pretty sure you will be able to enjoy it like I did.
Among The Stars
We ended the night with an agility game with awesome wooden bits and a very unique component - a loopsided ball bearing. Each player will choose a card from identical decks and then simultaneously reveal the card. The player who played the highest number will go first. Each player during their turn will take an item from an identical set and place it on the space corresponding to the number he/she played. If you tip the boat (its balanced quite precariously) then you can attempt to catch the falling pieces and place them onto the board. If you fail then your turn is over and you keep all pieces that have fallen. This continues until the cards have all been played or when a player has all his/her pieces on the boat. With the introduction of cards, it does add a slight tactical decision making to the game. You want to be the next to place items when the ship has just been cleared or has very few items. If you play a card that requires you to play after someone has just put in the same space, then its very likely you will fail and have more pieces to keep. I sucked at agility games and this was no exception. Components wise this game has top notch components. So if you are into party/agility games or a light game with friends (especially when drunk), then I will recommend you to try this game out before you buy.
Finally managed to get myself a copy of this game that has been generating a lot of hype in 2012. I have played this about 6 times so far and I am beginning to warm up to the idea and concepts on how to play the game. Basically you have 2 cards face down (You can see them of course) in front of you which will represent your lives in the game. During your turn you can play an action. Whenever someone plays an action, anyone else can counter (by declaring that you do not believe the player) and if they are successful, the action is blocked. If at anytime, anyone is not successful when countering an action because they were caught bluffing, then they will lose a life by flipping over the card. If you have to reveal both cards, that means you are out of the game. The last player standing wins the game. Not a bad game but I need to get used to all the bluffing and challenging actions or basically, knowing how to read a person. Now I can see that this game is only vaguely resembling Love Letter and is a whole different animal. In Love Letter you are not bluffing so there isn't a need to think further and thus caters for the simple game that it is. In Coup there is a need to bluff and try to get away with things. This is quite dependant on the group then as if they are role playing along or cajoling others, then the game will be quite fun for everyone. So Love Letter I feel is more accessible and easier to play and Coup is quite dependant on the group of players. Both will still be in my collection and I would heartily recommend anyone to give both Love Letter and Coup a try!
My friend managed to retheme the game of Hanabi into a Christmas theme and I was eager to bring it out for my colleagues to play this co-op game. Now if you know me, I don't really like co-op games because I feel a need to compete but I had quite a lot of fun with my regular group and the original game of hanabi that I wanted to see if I can recreate the same fun and laughter we had with my other groups. What surprised me right at the start was how my colleagues all mentioned they don't want to coop! They wanted to compete! Hahahaah.... that was music to my ears :P We still manage to give it a go though and I think I manage to recreate some of the fun and face palm moments. I love how my friend manage to capture the spirit of Christmas with fantastic and creative art and I am glad to have this copy.
One of the new releases from Essen, Kemet is touted as Cyclades successor and from the same publisher as well. I had Cyclades previously and did have fun with the game so I was eager to give this a go and see just how it plays. Kemet surprised me with what it is and how different it is from Cyclades. In Kemet you are trying to be the first to score 8 points (shorter game) or 11 points (longer game) which will trigger the game end and the player with the most points wins the game. To achieve this, during your turn, you will place 1 of your action discs onto your player board to trigger an action. Things that you can do include recruiting soldiers, move your troop, earn prayer points (currency), increase your pyramid level and purchase power tiles. This actually a Euro war game with an Egyptian theme and a worker placement mechanism. The game actively encourages you to wage wars and engage in battles with your opponents as this is 1 way to gain permanent points in the game. On the board, there also 5 temple areas where you can control to gain temporary points but these areas are easily wrestled away as you can pay 2 prayer points (which is the currency of the game) to teleport to obelisks on the map and there is one located at every temple. My initial thoughts were that this is an ameri-trash game because it has nice components and even nicely washed figures which are usually staples of an ameritrash game. So I am very surprised when I realised after playing that this is a euro game that requires players to interact with each other to win the game. Art is pretty good and the components are excellent. Figures of the scorpion, snake etc (these are the "heroes" or special units of the game) are also very nicely washed and even stamped at the bottom of their bases. I am also surprised that none of the units had warped blades as they are quite small and looked fragile. The other big component are the pyramids that look like 4 sided dice. The pyramids and the levels they are at will allow you to purchase power tiles depending on the levels. They look so cool and most players will start throwing them once it is out of the box. But alas they are just used as place holders. My first game took way longer than it was supposed to be because I did not realise we all started with 10 troops thus allowing us to wage wars right from the get go. My 2nd game was way better and it was really close with all 5 of us nearing the 8 point mark and we had 1 epic final round to determine the winner.
Finally manage to play Copycat another Essen 2012 release. This is a euro game which borrows other games mechanisms and to weld them quite smartly into a single game. Because this is a euro game, theme wise it suffers for me. Artwork also seems a little kiddish and thus I did not appreciate it as much as others. Gameplay wise, I can see how the various game mechanisms are nicely woven together to create an intriguing game but I only got this like halfway through the game though. First thing you do is draw 5 cards from your deck. Then choose one of the cards to bid for position. That card you used is discarded. Once player order is determined, in player order, players will then place their workers on the various available cards on the board which will allow them to activate an action. Once all workers are on the map, in turn order again, players will activate these workers and perform their actions accordingly (i.e. shred card, gain money, gain VP, buy a card). Rinse and repeat till one of 2 end game conditions are triggered. While I can appreciate how these different mechanisms work together, the theme falls woefully sort for me. I think this is the case where I am quite put off by the bland art. I wouldn't mind playing it again but I am definitely passing on getting a copy for myself.
City of Horror
From all the Euro games we went into an ameritrash game and boy was it trash lol. Its primarily a negotiation game where in you are also trying to strategically move your people around the board so that you are always in a majority and thus can vote someone else's character to be eaten by the zombies. At this point our group was pretty tired and we were learning this as a new game which is not a good combination to have. During your turn, you choose a location card and then every player simultaneously reveals the card. In turn order, players must move one of their characters (each players start off with 3 in a 5 player game) to that new location. Then each location is resolved. If there are enough zombies to meet that location's requirements, then players in that room will need to vote to feed someone to the zombies (Urk!). The game ends after 5 rounds and players' characters must have the antidote for them to survive the airlift and score points. Incredibly there were only 2 players left with characters at the end and I lost by only 1 or 2 points. I think our regular group has moved on to euro games nowadays and perhaps that is why most of us weren't enjoying the game. This game is a super MEH for me!
Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island
This is another co op game which I purchased to play solo. I have read that it is a very fun thematic game therefore I pulled the trigger and wanted to see for myself. In a turn, the phases are as follows: first you draw an event card and resolve the event. If it bumps another event out (there can only be at most 2 event cards that are revealed) then you will have to perform a threat action as depicted by the event card that has been bumped out. Next you get resources depending on which tile you have set up camp on. Next phase you decide where you want to place your pawns on the various available action spaces. After that is done, you will execute the actions by visiting each action space in sequential order and using the pawns After all actions are done, if required, roll the weather dice to determine how much suffering you are subjected to. Finally, check if you are sleeping out in the open and feed yourself. A turn is done and the game repeats and will end depending on the scenario that you have chosen. So far I am having fun playing this game solo even though I have not won the scenario yet. One problem I have with the game is the way the rulebook is written as it is not very intuitive and may be unclear at times. Luckily a FAQ has been provided and this should prove helpful when I next play. I have heard that in real coop mode, the game is also as tough if not even more. I will continue to play it as a solo game and will recommend this game.
Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building game
Played another solo game of Legendary. I am intrigued with the different villans and super heroes so wanted to try a different combination. This time Magneto was threatening earth again by converting everyone into a Killbot! Rogue, Storm and Emma Frost, the 3 ladies of XMEN are tasked with stopping Magneto and to contain the killbots within the city. If 5 killbots escape, they will be able to propagate across the globe and Earth would be lost! The initial part of the game was trying my best to ensure none escape and I was defeating enemies left and right. However somewhere into 30 minutes of the game, I realise I should just focus on defeating Magento. As I have been storing up my attack power with a lot of cards, I was able to defeat Magento in 2 consecutive turns. I ended the game with 28 points. Legendary reminds me of Thunderstone but much improved. You cannot just keep building up until you are ready to face the Mastermind. Instead its a constant management of villans running amok in the city areas as well as keeping your hand lean and trim to be able to defeat the mastermind eventually. There will be expansion for this game sometime near GENCON 2013 and they will be adding 17 super heroes! SEVENTEEN! I wonder if this game though will survive in my collection till then ;p Stay tuned true believers!
So that's a wrap, a lot of typing and a lot of cool games played!

In a big jolt to the Congress, Narayan Patel, the MLA from Mandhata joined BJP in Bhopal after resigning from his membership of the Legislative Assembly on Thursday.
Patel joined Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the presence of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and state party president Vishnu Dutt Sharma at the party office in Bhopal.
Speaking during the occasion, Chouhan said, "Narayan ka vaise bhi Congress me kya kaam hai. (What is the need of Narayan Patel to remain in Congress). He will be in BJP. Congress is still confused about whether to say yes or no for Ram temple in Ayodhya. Narayan has come to a new place. We will ensure that his trust will not be broken." "Narayan left Congress as it is limited to Twitter only. Rahul Gandhi talks about China in his tweets instead of India. It appears that he dreams of Prime Minister Modi only! I feel the party has become directionless. We welcome Narayan Patel to our side," Chouhan added.
Patel resigned from his membership of the Legislative Assembly earlier today. His resignation was accepted by Protem Speaker Rameshwar Sharma.
Patel is the third Congress MLA who has resigned in the last 15 days. According to the sources, some more Congress MLAs may resign and join the BJP.
Earlier, Congress MLA from Bada Malhera, Pradyuman Lodhi resigned and joined the BJP.
On July 17, Madhya Pradesh Congress MLA Sumitra Devi Kasdekar had resigned from her Assembly membership and joined the BJP.
She had submitted her resignation to the Protem Speaker which was accepted as well. A few hours later, she met Chouhan and joined BJP. Kasdekar represented the Nepanagar Assembly constituency.
In March this year, 22 Congress MLAs resigned from Assembly paving way for Chouhan to take over as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh for the fourth time, from Kamal Nath.
Madhya Pradesh by-elections will be held in 27 places.

Minimalistic. Strictly sans serif. Only two colors. The 2022 version of my portfolio was focused on exercising what I've learned about accessibility and animation.
A walkthrough scrolling down the homepage of my portfolio from 2022.
It featured a custom drawn, doodle-like SVG hover animation on the navigation links, thoughtful tab ordering, skip to main button, a "3D" rotating text animation (that I've repurposed for my current site). Unlike my current portfolio — the one you're currently scrolling through — it had dark and light themes, toggle-able by a rotating button at the bottom right.
Before landing on my current design, I had been working on another design; think soft gradients, grainy, lots of icons. In the end, I landed on what I have today because I wanted to stay minimal rather than going in the other direction. Compared to 2022, my current site is less liberal with animations, prioritizing speed — and introduces more fun colors!
Last, I've open-sourced the code the rotating text on my GitHub. Check out the demo here!

Taking your appetizer game up a notch couldn’t be any easier than with this Spicy Sausage, Sun-Dried Tomato, and Goat Cheese Crostini. The presentation of this tasty treat is just as beautiful as it’s bold flavors.
I had told you that I did a cooking demonstration for about 30 women a few weeks ago and to keep them from getting hungry, I created some appetizers for them to munch on. We had some people who had dietary restrictions that I wanted to acknowledge and be aware of, which I accomplished with my beautiful Fennel and Beet Salad Endive Appetizer. With this appetizer, though, I wanted to show off what I could do with no restrictions.
I find myself drawn to Mediterranean flavors, especially Italian and I feel like this appetizer showcases that so nicely. I used a smoked spicy sausage, rather than a raw sausage because I wanted a smooth texture as far as the meat was concerned. If you have a favorite brand you like, go for it! If spicy isn’t to your taste, a nice salami would work well too! Heating up the sausage in the oven helps to enhance the seasonings in the sausage, as well as help create a melty texture with the goat cheese mixed in.
I find it super important to drain the sun-dried tomatoes, especially if you’re going to let this appetizer sit for a while, as you don’t want the crostini to get soggy. Garnishing the finished crostini with this oil helps to tie everything together, as well as add some moistness.
Goat cheese has a way of adding a velvety texture to this appetizer. I wanted there to be similar textures within the topping because having a crisp bread is crucial to a successful crostini. The goat cheese also acts as a binder to the sausage and the tomatoes. The flavor it lends is out of this world!
Almost as important as the topping of this appetizer is the bread! You need a great bread in order for a crostini to work. I opted to make my own French bread at home (I’m an overachiever) but you absolutely don’t have to. If you have a French bread that you like, go ahead with that. Make sure that when you slice the bread, you have even slices so that they toast evenly. I made small rounds for my crostini’s but if you want to make larger rounds because of the shape of your bread, don’t worry! It’ll all still be delicious!
So, there you have it, there aren’t a ton of tricks to make this beautiful crostini do its thing. If you are in a pinch for time, consider making this topping one day ahead. I would avoid adding the basil until you are ready to put them together just to maintain the beautiful green color.
Consider serving this along with my Fennel and Beet Salad Endive Appetizer just for the complexity of flavors, as well as there being a great of variety sure to please your guests!
