Well, remember how the Ryan budget was supposed to mark our national moment of truth, forcing us into a serious discussion of fiscal choices? Neither do I.
For now that the budget has turned out to be both cruel and ludicrous, Republicans have taken to defending it by … lying about it.
Jonathan Cohn catches Marco Rubio declaring that the Ryan plan doesn’t cut Medicare funding — when the Medicare cuts were precisely what supposedly made the plan “serious”. (We were supposed to focus on that, not on the huge tax cuts or the plan’s reliance on assuming that discretionary spending could be reduced to Calvin Coolidge levels).
So we’re now completely in black-is-white territory. The moment of truth has turned into (yet another) moment of falsehood.

Many of us have been touched in one way or another by the devastating impact of the opioid epidemic. The numbers are daunting. Between 2018 and 2020, drug overdoses statewide exceeded more than 3,500 with opioid overdose deaths increasing by 54 percent between 2019 and 2020. In 2020, overdoses involving fentanyl – a powerful opioid increasingly found in counterfeit heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine – made up 68 percent of all opioid-related deaths. Jefferson County alone saw a 59 percent increase in the number of drug-related overdose deaths between 2019 to 2020.Too many Colorado families and communities have been devastated by opioid overdoses and addiction. I was part of working group of local government leaders who partnered for 18 months with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser to create a ground-breaking framework that ensures opioid settlement dollars are largely allocated to local communities for prevention, treatment, and recovery. Colorado is expected to receive $400 million in opioid settlement dollars. Read more about the historic settlement.
These dollars will be distributed to 19 regions, local governments, the state, and infrastructure needs. Our region – which is made up of Clear Creek, Gilpin, and Jefferson counties – is expected to receive $1.3 million annually over 18 years. The three counties and their municipalities also will receive direct funding from the settlement. For example, Lakewood will receive $1.3 million and Arvada just under $1 million – both over 18 years.This is a one-time opportunity to begin to transform how we’re tackling the opioid epidemic in our communities though education, prevention, and treatment. The Gateway to the Rockies Opioid Council (GROC), which I chair, kicked off its first meeting earlier this year and members include commissioners from the three counties and representatives from municipalities, public health, human services, and law enforcement.
On June 23, GROC is hosted The Opioid Crisis: Moving Forward Together – a day-long, kick-off conference at Red Rocks Community College to:
Colorado Public Radio’s Vic Vela will host a panel of those in recovery and family members and AG Phil Weiser will talk about our region’s collaboration with the state. We will do a lot of listening too, seeking input from participants on how they want to engage in the design of the region’s two-year plan.
We have a long road ahead, but I’m confident that working together, we will put the settlement dollars to good use to help our community.
If you’re interested in more information about the conference, please reach out to Chief of Staff Deb Churchill or email me directly.
To learn more about GROC, visit our website or, to learn more about what’s happening at the state level, visit this website.

Jan. 17, 2011
-- Well it may be a couple of weeks before this one becomes regularly available to the masses, but for those masses looking at this year's new batch of drivers, this one will be worth the wait. The old Rapture was quite good, but this new and improved Ping Rapture V2 Driver is just that---both new and very improved. That's saying a whole lot because the old Rapture was by far the longest, best feeling, most well balanced multi-material composite driver on the market. The newer version remains multi-metal, but no longer multi material.
The Ping Rapture V2 Driver represents the culmination of Ping's development of multi-metal technology that combines the key properties of the materials to maximize the performance of the club. The Rapture V2's 460 cc head combines a titanium body with external tungsten weight pads that are located at the back of the club, near the heel and toe. The weight pads position the centre of gravity to allow the Ping Rapture V2 to deliver a lower spin and high launch angle together with a higher MOI that improves both distance and accuracy. The head is plasma-welded and its taller face has been machined to variable thicknesses to promote increased ball speed and is styled with an aggressively tapered crown featuring the Double-Rapture alignment aid.
I'll stick w/the scalded cat/bottle rocket analogy here. This Ping Rapture V2 Driver is a blazing hot blaster that will be seen putting the others to shame this year. I promise you this---it wills more than likely end up setting records on tour, and make Golf Digest's "Hot List." Some of the new equipment this year is astounding. If you have a semi-repeatable swing, this mega forgiving distance monster, is just going to knock your socks off. Admittedly--- it should! None the less, this club is nothing short of phenomenal. You're going to love the Ping Rapture V2 Driver.

I’m staying with my Handful of Hearts novella Heart of Delight, again this week for WWW.
I thought today I’d skip back and let you see that first kiss. 🙂 (Creative punctuation utilized to conform to WWW rules.)
She tried to push back, but he enfolded her in his arms, drew her toward his warm body, then his mouth met hers. His soft, insistent lips sent a thrill through her she’d not experienced before. Relaxing against him, she gave herself over to pure pleasure as their mouths dissolved into one another and a delightful heat sizzled in her veins. She should not have been enjoying this, yet the tingles he caused to skitter up and down her spine could not be denied.
At last, he broke the kiss, stepped back and said, “That was the loveliest thank you I have ever received.”
Gabriella came slowly back to the balcony, the music, and thanked God for the dimness of the candles, half burned out in their sconces on the wall. Heat seared her cheeks, and she danced back from this stranger saying, “I beg your pardon, Monsieur Carpenter. You made me forget myself.”
“You can forget yourself with me any time you like, Mademoiselle d’Aventure.”
He’ll do anything to be her heart’s delight—except tell the truth.
Gabriella d’Adventure is on a mission. She has come to England as a lady’s maid in pursuit of the Duke of Rother. When she meets Horace Carpenter, valet to a marquess, she is delighted to enlist his aid in gaining her heart’s desire: a meeting with the duke. But will her growing feelings for the handsome valet interfere with her plans for the duke?
The eccentric Marquess of Halford, Hal to his friends, is tired of the demands of Society, especially his father’s decree that he marry this Season. When a breathtaking young woman intrudes on his solitude, he is captivated and introduces himself as his valet in hopes of learning more about her. Despite his fear about the true motive behind Gabriella’s quest to meet the Duke of Rother, Hal agrees to help her gain an audience with him, all the while praying his deception won’t ruin his chances of winning her love.
Heart of Delight is available in the Her Perfect Gentleman boxed set for just .99!

Following a historic winter campaign, Rowan men’s track and field has headed outdoors looking to build on the success of the past two seasons. The team enters with the same opportunity as going into indoor: clinching back-to-back New Jersey Athletic Conference Championships.
In 2015, Rowan claimed its first NJAC title in 18 seasons, finally overcoming rival and longstanding champion The College of New Jersey by a stunning 85 points. The squad is prepared to follow that up.
“It’s great to be back outside. There’s something special about running in the warm weather and relaxing in the grass, cheering on your team,” junior captain Justyce Pollitt said. “I take indoor track seriously but when we get to go outside I think everyone enjoys that experience more.”
The outdoor season brings with it some events that are not run during indoor. Head coach Dustin Dimit is excited about several specifically for his group.
“Our 4×100 team is always fun to coach and so is the steeplechase,” said Dimit, who ran the steeplechase at his alma mater, Grove City College in Pennsylvania.
An exciting addition to the Profs’ deep roster this season is javelin thrower Ryan Gebhardt, one of 25 freshmen.
“[Gebhardt] won the New Jersey Meet of Champions in the javelin last year,” Dimit said. “We’re definitely going to be strong in our field events like always.”
The team didn’t waste any time in displaying dominance. Rowan convincingly won both of its opening team-scoring meets of the season.
The Profs took first out of 30 programs at the two-day Emory Invitational (March 18-19) in Atlanta, Georgia. Earning one of the team’s three first-place finishes, sophomore captain David Benjamin recorded an Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference-best time in the 110 meter hurdles of 14.54 seconds, which still stands.
A week later, on March 26, Rowan emerged as the winner of the Maryland Invitational in a field of eight teams.
To this point, the team has received nods in each release of conference athlete of the week postings. Benjamin and sophomore Jeffrey Tucker were named NJAC Track Athlete and Field Athlete of the Week, respectively, following Emory, then junior captain Glenn Kohles picked up NJAC Field Athlete of the Week and Gebhardt the Rookie of the Week honors.
The brown and gold hold their lone home meet of the season, the second-annual Oscar Moore Invitational, on Friday, April 1.

The current ACA landscape
As the Affordable Care Act (ACA) 2018 open enrollment is about to start come November, we continue to see many uncertainties in the market. We have explored the potential impact of rate increases on enrollment based on data available through the first half of 2017. Our previous blog post highlights a few key ACA considerations for the coming year and predicts what’s next for healthcare insurers.
We now wait with anticipation to see whether or not the ACA is indeed affordable. Our findings (recently cited in The Wall Street Journal) are that for many the rising premiums are simply too high to bear.
Premium rate increases impacting the subsidized and unsubsidized differently
When we reviewed statutory filing information on quarterly enrollment in the individual market and data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for 2016 and 2017, we found that enrollment in ACA plans by members receiving subsidies actually rose over 5%. Meanwhile, enrollment among individuals not receiving subsidies declined by over 22%.
The ACA’s subsidized population are mostly protected from premium increases, but with another round of double digit rate increases in 2018 non-subsidized enrollment in the individual market is likely to continue to decline.

Synchrotron X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy studies of C60H18 under high pressure
2010 (English)In: Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, ISSN 1948-7185, Vol. 1, no 4, 714-719 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
In situ high-pressure angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction and high-pressure mid-infrared (IR) spectrum measurements of C60H18 were carried out up to 32 and 10.2 GPa, respectively. Our diffraction data indicated that the fcc structure of C60H18 was stable up to 32 GPa. The bulk modulus B0 was determined to be 21 ± 1.16 GPa, about 40% higher than that of C60. The C−H vibrations still existed up to 10.2 GPa, and the vibrational frequencies decreased with increasing pressure. IR-active vibrational frequencies and their corresponding eigenvectors of C60H18 were simulated by DMOL3. The effects of the hydrogen atoms attached to the fullerene molecular cage on the stability of the structure under high pressure are discussed.

China Media Group (CMG) hosts its beloved annual CMG Spring Festival Gala, a joyous occasion that brings together Chinese communities worldwide to celebrate the Chinese New Year with their loved ones. This year, CMG joined forces with China Mobile and ZTE to introduce the groundbreaking “5G-A ultra-high-definition (UHD) shallow compression wireless mobile live broadcast” technology. This innovation marked the debut of live broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala using 5G-A, providing millions of viewers with a seamless audio-visual experience that harmonized cutting-edge content creation with technological advancement.
A standout feature of recent CMG Spring Festival Gala broadcasts has been the “vertical screen to watch the Spring Festival Gala,” offering an immersive, interactive, and entertaining viewing experience. This feature showcased split-screen content and seamlessly transitioned between different perspectives at the live broadcast venue, significantly amplifying the festive ambiance.
The 5G-A UHD shallow compression wireless mobile broadcasting technology utilized during this year’s CMG Spring Festival Gala leveraged ZTE’s high-capacity 5G-A distributed micro-stations and base station computing engines. This setup established a network capable of large bandwidth, low latency, and high reliability, enabling intelligent and minimalist wireless video production. It streamlined the complex cable setups typically associated with live broadcasting, allowing camera operators to efficiently capture optimal shots.
The high-performance 5G-A private network facilitated wireless UHD shallow compression video capture and supported seamless transitions between wireless and wired camera feeds—a groundbreaking achievement in new media production and broadcasting applications. Throughout the over five-hour HD live broadcast of the CMG Spring Festival Gala 2024, video transmission remained stable and reliable. Reports indicated that the 5G-A private network’s uplink rate exceeded 2Gbps, with an average transmission latency of only 4ms. This remarkable performance, combined with CMG’s shallow compression and high-efficiency encoding and decoding technology, enabled multi-channel ultra-high-definition live streaming with ultra-low latency and stable uplink transmission.
The vertical screen live broadcast of the CMG Spring Festival Gala 2024 also featured ZTE’s lightweight AR shooting technology, enabling swift and effortless creation of virtual reality fusion scenes. Camera operators efficiently completed lightweight reality-virtual fusion production tasks through mobile phones or micro-sheets equipped with lightweight position location acquisition equipment, without adding extra bulk.
The 5G-A ultra-high-definition shallow compression wireless mobile broadcast seamlessly merged art and technology, successfully delivering this heartwarming and festive “Cultural New Year’s Eve dinner” to hundreds of millions of viewers. Looking ahead, ZTE is committed to deepening its collaboration with China Mobile and CMG, leveraging 5G-A technology to present even more captivating audio-visual experiences for the public.

I think that's what I would call it anyway. I did the base of this book at a workshop at a new scrapbooking store. We added the vintage papers and metal corners. Tonight I added some pics I took the other day of my daughter with a bunch of different facial expressions. I cut the pics down to 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 squares and mounted, then added embellishments which include metal words like joy and love and a metal flower and a chipboard heart. Will give to my Mom for Christmas!!

Requirements are as follows:
1. It is best to use the encoder of 24V power supply;
2. The output mode can be the OC gate or the encoder of 24V logic level output such as (push-pull output, NPN or PNP open-collector output, voltage output).
3. Both of Delta and KOYO have this type of encoder, for example, as for the encoder of non-24V power supply, the encoder of OC gate can be the best choice.

SENTENCED have announced that their forthcoming studio album, The Funeral Album, will be the band’s last. Guitarist Sami Lopakka issued the following statement on behalf of the band:
“We’d better put this out in the open before you hear it somewhere else. The title of the new album is The Funeral Album, and with it, we, SENTENCED, are coming to the end of our road. This album will be our last. The decision is mutual, thoroughly thought out and final.
“Metaphorically speaking, this is a mass suicide of five, and the new album is the kind of note we want to leave behind, a one-last-time-around-for-goodbyes. The decision was made during 2004, and the reasons are many; however, I don’t feel any need to go into details here. I will say that everyone will walk away as friends. In my eyes, we are not even splitting up, just ending our recording career together, and there is a major difference between the two. Our wish was always to go out with style and at the peak of our so-called success. I think with The Funeral Album, we will do exactly that.
“Once the album is released, there will be an undefined number of farewell shows, when, where and how many, at this point, remain undetermined. Intense and long touring will unfortunately not follow, and most of these shows will take place at festivals where all at once we can reach as many people as possible. At the moment it seems that all of these ‘funeral shows’ will be in Europe. If everything goes as planned, we will also make a live DVD out of these last shows, which will also include footage from the past, not to mention all the music videos we have made over the years. The working title for the DVD is Buried Alive, and after that SENTENCED will be no more. THIS IS IT: There will not be a reunion, comeback or any other pathetic soap opera-esque circus that seems to be the fashion these days. SENTENCED will rest in peace. We will make the most out of the band’s last year, and hope you will all join us.”

Augusta – It’s been five days since Rep. Elizabeth Dickerson decided she no longer wanted to represent the people of Rockland and Owls Head in the Maine House of Representatives.
Despite the fact Rep. Dickerson announced her plans to resign on Facebook and in a media release, as of Thursday afternoon, she had yet to submit her formal letter of resignation to the Secretary of State. House Republicans want to know why she has not formally stepped down. According to the Bangor Daily News, there are now three people who are interested in representing the people of House District 93.
“The people of Rockland and Owls Head deserve proper representation in the Maine House,” said House Republican Leader Ken Fredette. “We want to know why, if Rep. Dickerson truly wants to give up her seat, she has yet to formally resign? There are people ready and willing to step in and do the job. What’s the delay?”

A new NASA study, based on six years of observations, has led researchers to the belief that a vast ocean once covered Mars’ surface. Evidence suggests that the body of water was the size of Earth’s Arctic Ocean, much larger than what researchers had previously thought, and that it covered the low-lying northern plains of Mars for millions of years.

FUN FOR SMALL FRY AT THE FIREWORKS FACTORY
Wanting to provide a display other than Thomas the Tank Engine for youngsters at a train show, Gerry Bullock, from Essex, England, concocted this 48x16in (120x40cm) On30 layout, Guy’s Fizz-Bang Tram. It presents a night-time scene in a “black box” with a proscenium (picture frame) front, placed on a low tabletop so short people can see it easily. Gerry describes it thusly:
“This layout, built in ¼in scale on Peco O-16.5 Track, is aimed at the Younger Generation. All that is required to operate it is a push on the RED Button. It depicts the American Noise-R-Us Fireworks factory situated at a town called Fawkesville in the American Midwest.
“In view of the inherent danger when manufacturing fireworks the City Fathers of Fawkesville insisted on the factory being built some miles from the town in a semi-desert area. However they did agree to Noise-R-Us building a tramway (trolley line) from Fawkesville out to the factory. This enabled the workforce to easily reach their place of work. You will see the tram leave its shed and proceed to the factory station and then head out to Fawkesville before returning with some workers ready for the next shift.
“A chip controls both the sequence and the turnout motor; the surprise for kids is that part way through the sequence the Bachmann autoreversing tram goes back into shed and immediately comes out again.
“As it is dusk the buildings are lit, and there are some lamps to light the workers’ path to the factory and the Burger Bar. (You’ll note that the Burger Bar is well used—the owner offers free tea or Coke to anyone buying a Big-Burger!) You can’t miss the factory building, not only is it large it also has its own fireworks-display neon sign on the roof! You’ll also see that it’s a starlit night (and the stars twinkle…well, flash).”
The layout has proved immensely popular and not just with its intended audience! In the works currently is an LED starburst fireworks display that will climb the black backdrop and shower the scene with sparks.
The above photos were all taken with extra lighting in order to show the layout’s construction and features. Gerry also made a short video of the scene operating in the dark, as it does at shows. For more photos of Guy’s Fizz-Bang Tram, see Gerry’swebsite. To see the video, just click on the triangle below.
U.S. SHORTLINE FROM DANISH WEBSITE WITH U.K. DESIGN WAS BUILT IN CHINA!
David Hoovler, from Butler, Pennsylvania USA, introduced this amazingly international small layout as follows: “I thought you might be interested in hearing how a Briton’s plan inspired by a Canadian portage layout wound up actually being built by an American living in China, based on a Pennsylvania prototype described on a Danish website!” The story began when David and his wife moved to Central China to teach English for three years…
He shipped himself a carton of N scale model railroad supplies, and began thinking about a layout in China. He had internet access there, and while studying this site became intrigued by Giles Barnabe’s Micro Portage Layout in Scrapbook#44. He built an L-shaped version of the layout, measuring 133x105cm (52x41in). At that point he happened upon Carl Lundsten’s railfanningwebsite, which describes the Turtle Creek Industrial Railroad, an 11-mile shortline in Pittsburgh not far from David’s hometown (and not far from this site’s editor’s home). And he noticed that, with only a few changes, his layout could be operated very much like this little line!
The result was the Turtle Creek Industrial RR, shown in the photos as constructed in China. David describes it, “The plan had the interchange with Conrail (now NS) in Trafford at the far left, with a spur for a fictional team track and oil dealer. Moving right (north), the line passed under the Pennsylvania Turnpike, then over Turtle Creek on a scratchbuilt (plastic) concrete bridge complete with a PRR keystone. Then the line turned east, entered Murrysville with service to a lumber dealer, passed the line to the old Export coal mine, and continued to Export and the Durabond steel plant there.
“Unfortunately, the demands of teaching and living in another culture slowed progress on the layout, and construction stalled at the point shown in the photos, before any buildings were built and with Turtle Creek still dry. But [now that I’m back in the U.S.] I may resurrect the idea in the future—it’s a compact plan with room for realistic scenery and operation.”
MARIENBAD OFFERS OLD-TIME FLAVOR AND A NEW BUILDING TECHNIQUE
Marienbad is a modular, wall-mounted HO layout under construction by Sven van der Hart, from Utrecht in The Netherlands. Each module measures 60x35cm (24x15in), so the total layout is 3m (almost 10ft) long. This is Sven’s first attempt at scratchbuilding scenery and structures, and he’s finding it very enjoyable: “I’ve been building now for a year, and I notice that I’m still very motivated to work on it.” There’s more layout information on his website.
In the process, he’s discovered an interesting technique for using wood glue (carpenter’s glue) in aluminum foil molds to cast surface textures (several examples are illustrated in these photos, including the bricks on the station and the cobbles on the street). Sven calls it “glueprinting.” Others might call it “surface casting with wood glue.” Sven has a page of instructions online. [I’d be interested to hear about the experiences of anyone who tries the technique. —Carl.]
PIANO LINE PLAYS AGAIN… IN N SCALE THIS TIME
Having a “bit of spare wood” on hand measuring 36x6in (90x15cm), Alan Cox, from Swansea, Wales, decided to create an N-scale layout. He selected a classic track plan from the historical archives—The Piano Line, originally built in 1965 by the Rev. P.H. Heath. This plan was aamong the first to demonstrate the idea of bringing the main line onstage in the middle of the runaround loop (passing siding)… thus allowing very flexible operations in a very small space! (See Scrapbook #61a for more information.)
Alan’s version, called Llanast (Welsh for “a mess”), follows the Heath plan closely. Alan built it using Peco Set Track sections straight from the scrap box. The layout is currently at the “shining up” stage of adding bits and pieces, improving on areas that he can now do better, and the like. The plan itself allows considerable movement of both passengers and freight.
PICTURESQUE MEDIEVAL RIVER PORT WILL FEATURE DB CONNECTION
Mainlände Stadtbahnhof is an HO layout project of Alexander Kaczmarek, from Berlin, Germany. Mainlände is a small, picturesque town with medieval walls and exposed-beam houses, on the banks of the River Main. The main railway line and station (Mainlände Bahnhof) are about 5 km away, so the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) built a branch line to the town and uses a short Schienenbusse (railbus) to carry passengers out to the main line trains.
HERE’S GOTHA IN 1923 ETHIOPIA… ON THE LINE FROM ADDIS ABABA TO THE SEA
Gotha is a town roughly in the center of Ethiopia, on the Gotha Shet (“Gotha River” in Ethiopian). In this HOm model (1:87 scale on 12mm track) Gotha is a station on the CFFE (Chemin de Fer Franco-Ethiopien), the rail line between the capital of Addis Ababa and Djibouti on the Red Sea. The time is 1923, in the days of the Empress Zawditu. The model was built by Rainer Spohr(top left), from Kassel, Germany, and is an exotic railway to say the least!
Gotha Upon Gotha Shet is built on three modules, each 100x50cm (39x20in). With a fiddle yard attached at each end, the passing scene features trains stopping to take on water and wood (the steam engines all burn wood), freight trains are overtaken by passenger trains, and other trains conduct meets at the station.
But the most exciting part of this layout is the authentic scenery and railway equipment, including the colorful marketplace beside the station, the guards protecting the building, the iron bridge over the River Gotha, the ferryboat and cattle both crossing the water, and the special animal cars originally built for the Hamburg Zoo including pop-up cars for the giraffes and special cars for the apes. “There even was an accident,” relates Rainer. “One waiter for the apes was careless, and thus the apes took their food—bananas—with them and went all over the place… lively, even to the rooftops of the freight repair shed!”
Rainer remarks with pleasure that several German friends, who lived and taught school in Addis Ababa for more than 10 years, recently viewed the layout and remarked, “That´s exactly how it looks down there in Ethiopia… !”
The hand drawn plan at the right shows the suppposed track arrangement at Gotha in 1923. The aerial photo beneath it showing the left-hand module will help you understand the arrangement. Gotha won third prize in a national model railway competition held two years ago by Eisenbahn Kurier magazine.
SIMPLE LINEAR LAYOUT SHOWS OFF ROLLING STOCK
Dave Carson, from Stowmarket, Suffolk, England, spent some of his recuperation after surgery in building this 36x7in (90x18cm) “working diorama,” Fuel Pad. Two double-tracked sheds share a fueling point between them. Only one is used for stabling, however; the other shed hides the controller. Operation, though limited, affords an excellent opportunity to show off prized rolling stock in realistic surroundings.
SQUEEZING THE PROTOTYPE: THE LOS ANGELES ‘RAT HOLE’ DISTRICT
Frequent contributor MJ Idzerda, from London, Ontario, Canada, is coming to grips with the problem of deciding on a layout plan and actually starting construction. He’s decided on a 6x1ft (180x30cm) HO shelf railroad (the kind he had as a boy), and wants if possible to build a direct copy of South Central Street near Alameda in Los Angeles—the Davies Warehouse Co. in the downtown Espee Rat Hole switching district, featured by Bob Smaus in Model Railroader magazine. Above and at right are MJ’s full-sized mockups of a reasonable facsimile of this scene that will fit on a shelf. The tracks have a seductive “S” curve and form a natural-looking Inglenook switching pattern. Looks good!
But wait! As happens to so many of us, another thought struck MJ as he was preparing to put saw to wood… and the result was another classic switching pattern… a Tymesaver (below). What did he do? Read on!
In MJ’s words: “The design files were reviewed, and plan v4.3 (based on a design from October 1993) was updated to fit. Voilà! Version 4.4 fits perfectly (above), has all the elements I want, and is essentially a timesaver! The cork is coming this week (today if time allows)!”
NARROW GAUGE IN THE ROMANTIC ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT
Martin Hogg, from Mansfield, England, seems to emit layouts at frequent intervals! One of his latest creations is Ulthwaite, a small town in the northern part of the English Lake District, the land of Wordsworth and Coleridge. Martin has imagined a narrow gauge railway terminus serving the more mundane needs of the community, such as “coal, goods and sheep being transported, as well as a few passengers and some tourists/walkers. It also is a place for small engines pulling ore skips from up the valley to run around before continuing off down towards the interchange.”
The board measures 48x8in (120x20cm) and is recycled from a previous layout. The rail line is OO9 (1:76 scale on 9mm gauge). Take a good look at the way Martin uses the photographic backscene… we seem to look down at the lake from a slightly elevated position (very common viewing angle in the Lake District), and the realism is almost uncanny (photo at bottom right shows this effect even more strongly). For more photos and information, see Martin’s blog.
ANOTHER TRACKMOBILE LAYOUT… INGENIOUS USE OF A CD TURNTABLE!
During those long Scottish winter nights, Shortliner Jack Trollope, way up in the Highlands, has been thinking about still more ingenious ways to make use of the tiny HO Trackmobile model that was featured in our layout design competition earlier this year. Jack’s latest cogitation is shown here… an unspecified industrial site using a Trackmobile to move cars (wagons and vans) around. Jack has used to good advantage Chad Wilkinson’sclever hidden-turntable idea to reverse the TM and make it appear to wheel around off the track (Chad introduced the idea in his contest entry.) Jack’s layout description follows:
“The disc at the right is a CD (hidden inside/behind the building), used as a turntable to turn the Trackmobile, allowing it to link to both ends of cars without modification. One side is hidden inside the building (Pikestuff or similar) and the other appears to run behind it. Use of a double length Peco Loco Lift at left end as fiddle yard (see sketch) extends tracks and allows stock changes. The track top left could use the same system (or possibly just a standard single one) to allow stock to go ‘deeper’ into the plant.” Double-length Loco Lift is described inScrapbook #80.
PRIZE-WINNING LAYOUT MODELS BELGIAN TRAM TERMINAL IN 1960’S
Roderik Vanderkelen, from Tollembeek, Belgium, built this tramline (trolley line) a few months ago as an entry in a mini-layout competition of Modelspoor magazine. He reports:
“Here are a few pictures of Ninove, the Nm scale (1:160 on 6.5mm gauge) entry which got me a third place. It depicts the endstation of the Belgian SNCV-tramlines Brussels-Ninove and Leerbeek-Ninove in 50s and 60s of the last century. All the buildings are copies of the originals. They are constructed in cardboard. The trams and wagons are also handmade from a lot of Märklin and Micro-trains Z scale pieces. I also include an old picture which shows the situation in the 1960s.

The paper reconsiders the role of money and banking in monetary policy analysis by including a banking sector and money in an optimizing model otherwise of a standard type. The model is implemented quantitatively, with a calibration based on U.S. data. It is reasonably successful in providing an endogenous explanation for substantial steady-state differentials between the interbank policy rate and (i) the collateralized loan rate, (ii) the uncollateralized loan rate, (iii) the T-bill rate, (iv) the net marginal product of capital, and (v) a pure intertemporal rate. We find a differential of over 3 % pa between (iii) and (iv), thereby contributing to resolution of the equity premium puzzle. Dynamic impulse response functions imply pro-or-counter-cyclical movements in an external finance premium that can be of quantitative significance. In addition, they suggest that a central bank that fails to recognize the distinction between interbank and other short rates could miss its appropriate settings by as much as 4% pa. Also, shocks to banking productivity or collateral effectiveness call for large responses in the policy rate.

Marvin Goodfriend & Bennett T. McCallum, "Banking and Interest Rates in Monetary Policy Analysis: A Quantitative Exploration," NBER Working Papers . Divided into two parts, this book presents a detailed, multi-faceted analysis of banking and monetary policy. The first part examines the role of central banks within an endogenous money framework. These chapters address post-Keynesian interest rate policy, monetary mercantilism, financial market organization and developing economies.
This paper studies the e˛ect of low interest rates on ˙nancial intermediation and the transmission of monetary policy. Using U.S. bank- and branch-level data, I document two new facts: ˙rst, the long-run decline in bond rates has not been fully passed through to loan rates; second, the short-run pass-through of policy rates to loan rates is. Figure 1. Monetary Policy and Interest Rates. The original equilibrium occurs at E expansionary monetary policy will shift the supply of loanable funds to the right from the original supply curve (S 0) to the new supply curve (S 1) and to a new equilibrium of E 1, reducing the interest rate from 8% to 6%.A contractionary monetary policy will shift the supply of loanable funds to the left. The finding revealed that almost all the variables, with the exception of bank savings rate, exhibit a strong sign of co-moving in the long run with the tendency of converging. The research revealed that there exist unidirectional causality between monetary policy rate and bank lending rate; bank lending rate and bank savings rate. With the goals and frameworks for macroeconomic analysis in mind, the final step is to discuss the two main categories of macroeconomic policy: monetary policy, which focuses on money, banking and interest rates; and fiscal policy, which focuses on government spending, taxes, and borrowing.
Theoretically, the effectiveness of monetary policy on the economy through the banking or credit channel transmission depends on (1) the responsiveness of market interest rate, especially banks lending rate, and loan supply to a change in monetary policy (Kashyap et al., , Zwick, ) and (2) the responsiveness of firms' investment to.

The Astoria girls placed fifth out of 17 scoring teams Saturday at the Warner Pacific Classic cross-country meet held Saturday at Lents Park in Portland.
While Tillamook won the team title, Sophie Long was Astoria’s top individual finisher, placing 11th out of 131 runners in 20 minutes, 51 seconds over the 5,000 meters.
Freshman teamamte Ella Zilli, who ran just off of Long from the gun, placed 15th (21:07), followed closely by Lindsay Riutta (18th, 21:26) and Allyson Pritchard (33rd, 22:03), with Annalyse Steele (92nd, 25:34) rounding out the team scoring.
On the boys’ side, Astoria finished 10th in a field of 27 complete teams in the varsity bronze division.
Stayton’s Ben Kirby was the individual winner in 16:45, edging Knappa’s Robert Piña-Morton (16:48). The Loggers placed 15th in the team standings.
Freshman John Clement was Astoria’s top individual and the first freshman overall, placing 20th out of 183 finishers in 17:47. Nikolai Boisvert (32nd, 18:08), Elias Harding-Coe (69th, 18:57), Jack Colquhoun (78th, 19:14) and Tommy Laman (93rd, 19:28) ran as the scoring five.
Class 6A Mountain View won the team title.
“Today had a lot of bright spots for us,” said Astoria coach Andrew Fick. “We had several PRs, especially some huge ones from some of our younger runners, as well as quite a few season bests.”
The Fishermen “continue to improve how we race as a team, and you could see that learning and growth in today’s races,” he said. “Based on season bests, both our boys and girls teams beat their projected rankings, which means we’re moving in the right direction and stepped up against some big school competition.”
Clement set a new personal record, “which is a big step to run in the 17’s,” Fick said. “Nikolai was just off of him with a PR as well. Ella also set a new personal best and was a lot more assertive running with Sophie from the start.”
Astoria will join Seaside and Warrenton for a three-team meet Wednesday at Cullaby Lake.

Violation of traffic rules in Dubai has seen an increase this year. At least 6,425 motorists jumped the red signals in the emirate in the first quarter of 2012 compared to 4,636 during the same period last year.
This has forced the traffic department to convert cameras to radars at pedestrian crossings in Dubai, reported Al Bayan.
According to latest Dubai Police statistics there were in total 19,002 red-signal jumping cases last year.
Major General Mohammed Saif Al Zaffin, Director-General, Dubai Department of Traffic, Dubai Police, said jumping red signal is a dangerous offence. In the first three months this year there were 38 accidents recorded in which three people lost their lives and six were critically hurt, while 17 suffered moderate injuries and 76 other escaped with minor injuries.
During the same period last year, there were only 29 accidents recorded in which three people lost their lives, four were seriously hurt, 12 suffered medium injuries and 40 minor cases.
Red signal jumping led to eight deaths last year. While a total of 126 accidents were recorded in which 10 people were critically hurt, 39 moderately hurt and 179 suffered minor injuries.
Al Zaffin said: "despite the high fines, motorists continued to jump red signals. At present Dh800 is the fine with 8 black points apart from impounding of car for 15 days."
In order to curb such mishaps, the department is planning to convert cameras at pedestrain crossings to radars, he said and added that areas such as Jumeirah, Al Wasl and other streets in Dubai will be taken up first.
Gradually the conversion will extend to intersections in Dubai.
There are about 84 cameras fixed at intersections in Dubai, Al Zaffin said.
Woman jumps red light and kills boy in Abu Dhabi
A woman driving her car at high speed jumped the red lights and killed a 16-year-old Asian boy just as he was crossing the road in Abu Dhabi.
The accident took place on the busy Murur road in the capital on Wednesday and preliminary police investigation found the woman made a fatal mistake and jumped the red lights at a high speed.
“The boy died on the spot after he was run over when he was in the pedestrian crossing…the woman suffered from light injuries,” Major Abdullah Al Suwaidi, director of the accidents division at Abu Dhabi traffic police, said without identifying the driver.
Car accidents cost the UAE a massive Dh17 billion in 3 years
Car accidents cost the UAE nearly Dh17 billion in socio-economic losses in just three years as the country continues to reel under one of the world’s worst traffic records, according to an official report.
"This marked 14.4% decline in the past three years and 26.5% fall by the end of 2009, due to efforts exerted by the concerned authorities.”
The report noted that the problem has become an international one, yet its impact on some areas and countries is more dramatic than in other areas. For example, the entire Arab region is classified as the most venerable region to car accidents, “including the UAE in general, and Abu Dhabi in particular.”
Its figures showed the number of car accidents causing human injuries in the UAE in 2011 alone amounted to 6,700, of which 720 deaths were reported. Although this figure is considered less than that of 2010, it is still considered relatively high by international standards despite traffic police efforts to curb road violations and reduce accidents.
In 2011, accident deaths dropped by 25.5 % in the UAE, and 19% in Abu Dhabi compared to 2009, “in a remarkable achievement which reflects the great efforts exerted by the concerned authorities.”
The report showed Abu Dhabi alone saw 2,280 car accidents that resulted in 3,547 injuries and 334 deaths last year, constituting 46.4% of the total car accidents in the country. In 2011, over eight million traffic violations were reported, 49.3% of which were committed in Abu Dhabi.
Speed accounted for 76.3% of the total offences in the UAE while in Abu Dhabi, total offences surged by 411% compared to 2008. Total offences in the UAE soared by 117% compared to 2009.
“According to the Studies Department at DED, the car accidents in the past three years became the focus of attention for researchers as well as decision-makers in different countries owing to the heavy causalities in life and properties annually. Car accidents now are one of the most important areas of research and analysis for economists who are measuring and assessing direct and indirect socioeconomic cost of accidents,” it said.
“In this effect, it emphasized the importance of determining accurate and realistic methods to determine the tremendous financial cost and losses now being tantamount to that of wars as a result of the rising number of car accident deaths annually, the subsequent causalities and their impact on countries’ economies.
According to the study, car accidents are considered a major cause for the deaths and injuries of individuals aging 20 – 40. Nearly 1.3 million deaths and 30 – 50 million injuries were reported across the world last year.
“Car accidents are identified as the third causes of death in the world after heart diseases and strokes.”
The report warned that the rise of car accidents, specially serious ones, affects the social life in the country as a result of high mortality that causes families to lose their providers, which in turn affects income and productivity.
“The increase of car accidents also causes the health service cost to rise, which incorporates the cost of clinical services and medication provided to those injured in car accidents (medication, stay in hospital, first aid, etc…), apart from their reflection on the society. The increase in car accident rates also has an impact on the whole society, as it affects the tourism sector, as tourists tend to avoid the countries with high car accident rates, which causes countries to lose a significant source of income.”
In terms of human lives, nearly 6,700 serious accidents took place in the second largest Arab economy in 2011, resulting in the death of 720 people and injury of 7,808, showed the report by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (DED).
“DED researchers came to the conclusion that the car accident cost in the UAE in 2009 –2011 is estimated at Dh 17 billion, or an average of 1.6% of the GNP of the country,” the report said.

Community Governance and Citizen-Driven Initiatives in Climate Change Mitigation
One of the most heartening developments in climate change mitigation in recent years has been the increasing attention paid to the principle of ‘thinking globally and acting locally’. The failure of the international community to reach significant global agreements on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions has led local governments, environmental organisations and citizens themselves to focus increasingly on the local possibilities for action on climate change.
This book analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the co-production of climate policies that take place where citizen engagement and local initiatives converge with public agencies. Case studies from Northern Europe, Australia/New Zealand and the USA reveal that traditional individualist approaches to promoting environmental behaviour epitomised by information campaigns and economic incentives cannot trigger the deep behavioural changes required to materially improve our response to climate change. Only by marshalling the forces of thousands, and eventually millions of citizens, can we manage to reach environmental sceptics, reinforce political action and create the new social norms that are sorely needed in our local, and global, response to climate change.
This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in climate change politics and governance, community engagement and sustainable development

A tough early-season schedule and a preseason national ranking of No. 2 by d3hoops.com made Christopher Newport a prime target for an upset-minded opponent.
No. 17 Marietta of Ohio accomplished that feat, dusting the Captains 74-50 Saturday night in the final game of the Hoopsville National Invitational Classic in Owings Mills, Md.
CNU fell to 2-1 despite Rayshard Brown's 12 points, while Marcus Carter had eight points and seven rebounds. Brown was the Captains' only double-digit scorer, and CNU shot just 26 percent (16 of 61) from the field.
Keith Richardson came off the bench to score 18 points for Marietta, which had three double-digit scorers.

Agribex 2015 in Brussels
As usual the last month of the year belongs to the Agribex exhibition. This event was held in Brussels from 8-12-2015 till 13-12-2015. This exhibition is one of the most important shows for the Benelux, some parts of North Germany and France. This year the visitors numbers were less than other previous years, the reason being that Brussels has been dealing with security problems in the centre of the city.
The situation in the agriculture market!
At the moment the market are in regression for more reasons like milk price, governmental support and of course unpredictable weather conditions. With farmers who are not investing much at the moment. In spite of these problems there was great interest in the Bednar machinery. Lots of farmers and dealers are starting to know about the technical and good working machinery, more and more. The great portfolio of the BEDNAR program, the quality of the product, the design has a lot of the visitors interest.
This was the second time that BEDNAR participated at this exhibition and now show even more types of machinery. The BEDNAR name is becoming more and more recognized in the Benelux market.
As BEDNAR manger Toni Dierings for the Benelux market commented, ”This market is not easy, not only because of the current situation, but also because people need to know the Bednar brand better. Each time we participate at the exhibition in Benelux we can see significant growth of interest from dealers and farmers. This time we have shown on the exhibition new types of machinery from BEDNAR and this itself motivates customers to realize that the Bednar brand is growing its potential each time.”
Machinery on the stand
The more important portfolio products were exhibited together with BEDNAR importer Gruva Techniek. There was the well known seedbed cultivator, the SWIFTER SN 4000, the disc harrow SWIFTERDISC XN 3000 combined with an ALFA drill, universal cultivator FENIX FN 3000 L, chisel plough TERRALAND TN 3000 PROFI and latest version of the inter-row cultivator the ROW-MASTER RN5400 S.

In which areas are we likely to see AV over IP develop? Following his look at the advantages of the technology and the need for education and training, Ian McMurray looks at codecs, switches and more.
Myles Carter, media relations manager at Matrox, stresses that the arrival of IP has been an evolution, not a revolution. “The convergence of data, voice, and video over the same infrastructure has been steadily increasing for years,” he believes. “The only thing that continues improving is the ability to achieve the performance, quality and reliability that are expected in traditional hard-wired AV. However, in addition to convergence, the substantial increase in delivery and reach for AV applications has opened up revenue streams, productivity, use cases and benefits that simply could never be achieved before.”
And, of course, no discussion of moving video over an IP network would be complete without mentioning the key role played by codecs.
“The compression technologies available today are highly advanced and provide excellent video performance, which is allowing us to now deliver high-resolution video over standard network technology,” says Shaun Robinson, director of product and solutions at Harman Enterprise, “providing flexibility and familiarity to our IT end customers.”
New technology, rapidly falling prices, end-user demand and marketing are behind the increased adoption of AV over IP. One of the wonders of IP is how it has continually morphed and adapted in order to rise to new challenges – a phenomenon well illustrated by the broadcast industry. So far as the AV industry is concerned, it will continue to do so.
“Network switches are going to continue to expand in terms of bandwidth capability, while at the same time falling in price on a per-port basis,” believes Chris Scurto, vice president, marketing and North American sales at ZeeVee. “Control systems will be another very interesting place to watch. Control programmers are just beginning to scratch the surface of what AVoIP is capable of doing in terms of flexibility, power, and scale. Another area that will continue to rapidly evolve will be the continued expansion of AV in the corporate world. Video will be driven deeper into the organisation as organisations begin to realise how superior it is as a communications tool. This will bring an entirely new wave of innovation to the industry and because it will be IP-based, development will happen very rapidly. It will not be controlled by a few companies, but rather by an entire industry.”
Focus on codecs
While we wait for those new switches to come on stream and become affordable, we’re likely to see ongoing focus on the codecs that help minimise bandwidth consumption. “I expect we’ll see continued enhancements to compression technologies to take us to even higher resolutions than 4K,” says Robinson. Matrox’s Carter sees things similarly.
Jason Fitzgerald, product manager at Gefen, wonders whether one of the developments we’ll see will come somewhat from left field. “The next major development may come from an unexpected source,” he muses. “AVoIP needs to function like HDMI or other true standards, allowing any AVoIP product to work seamlessly with another, regardless of the manufacturer – much like HDBaseT 2.0 is doing on more of a one-to-one basis. Perhaps Valens Semiconductor will be able to do it again.”
HDBaseT is based on a proprietary pulse amplitude modulation scheme that requires chipsets manufactured by Valens Semiconductor. HDBaseT signals cannot presently be delivered via conventional network switches.
“Our industry has finally evolved through analogue, digital, IP, and now on to the final stage: the platform,” enthuses Justin Kennington, director of strategic and technical marketing at AptoVision and president of the SDVoE Alliance. “The true mission of the SDVoE Alliance is to create a standard development platform upon which programmers, integrators, designers and manufacturers can build software to turn products into experiences. Just as the engineers of the iPhone didn’t invent or predict Uber, I know that soon we will start to see applications built on the SDVoE platform that none of us have yet conceived. It is a very exciting time for AV over IP and I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Good for the industry
There can be little doubt that IP brings huge benefits in terms of flexibility, versatility, scalability and sheer performance – and, ultimately, that has to be good for the AV industry. There are still challenges to overcome, however, in the AV world. First, it represents a potentially steep learning curve – for manufacturers, end-users and integrators alike. Second: in an IP world, solution differentiation becomes increasingly challenging: new ways have to be found of creating and maintaining competitive advantage. And third: in an industry that has long prided itself on low-latency, pristine images, AVoIP still has a little way to go. However: 10Gb Ethernet is pretty much with us, 40Gb Ethernet will soon be more affordable – and 100Gb Ethernet isn’t far away. Those higher speeds will almost certainly see a reduction in the need for the codecs, which, good as they are, can impact both image quality and latency. Despite those challenges, however, it seems reasonable to conclude that AVoIP’s time has come. In the not-too-distant future, we’ll have forgotten there was any other way of doing things.


Welcome to the first face 2 face segment of the year folks and today we have none other than the commish of the league, sabo911, with us to answer some questions.1. How did the idea of this franchise arise? What was the appeal, in your eyes, to have owners "earn" those top coaching jobs in the nation rather than just being given the opportunity to get a BCS job right away?2. We are now in season 4 of the franchise. How has the franchise grown from season 1? Is there anything that the owners here could do in order to make this franchise even better in your opinion?3. Now onto your team news. This will be your second year as head coach of Texas Tech. How has this year's preseason been different from last years? What are your expectations from your team heading into this year?4. Given that you have a year under your belt with this team, who should the rest of the country watch out for as your team's "surprise" player...It could be someone who you think should exceed his productivity from last year, or someone who maybe wasn't as productive last year who will come out and shock some of the people around the nation, especially in the Big 12.5. Looking at your schedule, can you tell us about some of the "key" games that you have this year. Along with that, could you possibly highlight the game that you are looking most forward to this year.Thanks Sabo!

Sourdough toast won't brown.
Hi Folks, I hope that you can help.
Just wondering why my sourdough toast won't brown.
My usual white recipe is a 70% hydration loaf using strong organic white flour, water, oil (4%) and salt (2%).
I use a poolish starter (50% of the flour), fermented over 12 hours, started with 100g mother, add remaining ingredients and ferment for a further 6 hours.
Makes great bread, but the toast wont brown easily - it gets hard first!!
Do any of the clever people have any thoughts?
Many thanks in advance

Detectives have charged a further two men as part of ongoing investigations into the alleged importation of methylamphetamine worth nearly $100 million, which had been concealed in a one-tonne machinery item.
Early last year, the State Crime Command’s Organised Crime Squad and the NSW Crime Commission established Strike Force Redgurnard to investigate the importation and supply of illicit drugs into NSW.
Acting on information from the NSW Police Force, Australian Border Force (ABF) officers targeted an air cargo consignment which had arrived at a Sydney freight depot from Central America in December 2019.
The consignment, which was declared to contain a large machinery item, was examined by ABF officers who noted inconsistencies.
During a subsequent deconstruction, it was found to contain 130kg of a white crystalline substance concealed within the item.
The substance was tested and returned a presumptive positive result for methylamphetamine, which has an estimated potential street value of $97.5 million.
Strike Force Redgurnard investigators, with assistance from the Australian Federal Police and ABF, seized the consignment and conducted a controlled delivery.
A 26-year-old man was charged last month and remains before the courts.
Following further inquiries, strike force detectives executed two search warrants at homes in Sylvania and Rose Bay, early yesterday (Thursday 20 February 2020).
During the searches, detectives seized documents, clothing and electronic devices.
Two men – aged 36 and 46 – were arrested during the operation.
The 46-year-old Rose Bay man has been charged with take part large commercial prohibited drug supply, and participate criminal group contribute criminal activity.
Police will allege in court that the man facilitated the delivery of the consignment to a business in Alexandria.
He was refused bail to appear at Waverley Local Court today (Friday 21 February 2020).
The 36-year-old Sylvania man was charged with participate criminal group contribute criminal activity.
He was granted bail and is due to appear at Sutherland Local Court on Thursday 12 March 2020.
Investigations under Strike Force Redgurnard are continuing.
Anyone with information that may assist Strike Force Redgurnard investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.

Karan Johar Pens Down A Heartfelt Birthday Note For His 'Strongest Support System' Gauri Khan
Some friendships in Bollywood have passed every test of time and have been rock solid throughout. As celebrity interior designer and superstar Shah Rukh Khan's wife Gauri Khan turned 49 on Tuesday, her close friend Karan Johar penned a heart warming post and called her his "silent support system in life".
Karan on Tuesday took to Instagram, where he shared a photograph of Gauri and captioned it,
"Happy birthday to the strongest silent support system in my life...the most real person I know... Beautiful within and beautiful always and one must never be fooled with her blank stare because she is ridiculously on point with her observations!"
In his note, he further added,
"She makes me laugh with her manual of how to live a stress free life (she knows what I am talking about) also am so proud with how she has created a solid professional zone for herself and is super successfully running a design enterprise...I love you so much Gauri! You don''t realise how much of a force you are in all our lives... Shine on! Happy birthday."
Gauri married Shah Rukh in 1991, after a six-year courtship.
They have a son named Aryan and a daughter Suhana. In 2013 they became parents to a third child, a son, named AbRam, who was born via surrogacy.

Excellent meals and excellent service!
Only downside was how expensive the cocktails were, would be a huge plus if you had a night where these were discounted or some sort of deal like two for one :)
The Staff were very pleasant and the food was great. Need little bit more light in the restaurant.
Awesome service. Food was amazing and quick coming out. We even had a mix up with an order (not the staffs fault and no biggie at all) and a replacement meal was out quicker than ever. Shows that they really know how to look after their diners. Staff are polite and make sure patrons are happy, without fail there were at least 2 waitstaff moving around checking in on tables at all times. It was a full house when we were there, so to have this type of service with the capacity of people needed feeding was brilliant! Dined here about 5 times now. Highly recommended!
Service was quite slow last night. Didnt have a couple of beers/wines that we wanted which was a bit disappointing. Food was very tasty when it finally arrived.
Absolutely fabulous food and service. A+++++ Highly recommended. And would dine again :-) thank you to the staff and our waiter, and of course the Chef!
Our dishes were a bit over sauced. It would be useful to know which veges are used in dishes. My son has an aversion to capsicum and his dish had heaps. Perhaps we were a bit naive about dishes and rather than experiment with new ones we should have stuck to what we know to be good.
Lovely meal. Our dinner plates were cold resulting in our meal getting cold quickly, Good restaurants always serve hot meals on warm plates
Good food, good service. Would come again.
Fantastic meal. Never disappoints.
Team end of season so a booking of 27 with 25 turning up. Set menu food was very good, positive comments made by members of the group with all dietary restrictions catered for. We had a section of the restaurant to ourselves which was mostly partitioned off, we were probably rather rowdy but in our partitioned off area don't think we disturbed others. I had been informed I would be emailed set menus given the number of people turning up but these never arrived and decisions had to be made once we were present. Selection of beers was good for the group, BYO wine well catered for. Third time I have been to Spirit House, second with a group and every time was very good with everyone present having a good time and enjoying good food. Highly recommended.
Enjoyed a lovely evening with family - look forward to trying other items on the menu
Fantastic venue and we always enjoy our meals and service each time we come to dine there. thank you so much
We were on a tight time frame and really appreciated their speed of service :-)
The menus are looking are bit tired, dirty and worn. It would be good if they were reprinted.
Love this place :) miss the American guy though he was awesome :) but food is still amazing!
Dissapointed as have come here since opening week, and the atmosphere has changed hugely. Most disappointing was the lack of service and the necessity to visit the bar for drinks.
Great place to eat. Food was very good and the service delightful
Sorry to say my lamb shank was not up to its usual standard, it didnt fall off the bone 🙁
Really nice feeling to the place. service just a little slow for drink orders on arrival and then ordering our food.
Love spirit house! Not to keen on marking dishes as V for vegetarian when they contain oyster/fish sauce though.
My family loved being at Spirit House. The staff treated us very well, and being vegan vegetarian and 1x chicken person, we can be a bit trying! Food and drinks delicious and yes we will come back and would like to try the round table sometime. We are already telling others about our wonderful experience. THANK YOU HEAPS! kind regards Barbara Black
The staff at spirit house are amazing. They really set the restaurant apart. The food comes out super quick and is fresh and the serving sizes are generos
