I have a client that would like quick scans to run at 12:30 on Monday Wednesday and Fridays, but 11:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to the variable break schedule they have. Currently, this is not possible as custom scans only let me scan explicit directories, and not variable locations such as %COMMMON_ALTSTARTUP% included in a quick scan, or even registration locations such as HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Even if I wanted to copy/paste all of the locations included in a 'quick scan', I cannot currently do so.
Given that no one else has upvoted this request, and the benefit in convenience for one customer is likely outweighed by increased complexity for all other customers, I'm going to downselect this request. If you feel strongly it should be considered (and maybe could garner some support) please let us know.

The pinnacle of music, which embodies all the musical theory that has been forgotten in today's music.
by Anonymous October 22, 2003
Get the classical mug.
A music genre that has lasted for more than 400 years, and rap is starting to die out after about 20.
Dumbass: Yo, u like Soulja Boy or 50 cent?
Me: Beethoven could kick their asses while playing the piano, blindfolded.
Classical is greater than rap, period.
by mark101 July 11, 2008
I AM SO SICK OF THESE FALSE DEFINITIONS!
1. Classical music is a type of music that goes from the 1500s (Thomas Tallis) to the 1900s (John Rutter). It includes the Rennaisance Period, the Baroque Period, the Classical Period, the Romantic Period, and the Modern Period.
2. No one seems to understand the difference between the classical PERIOD and classical MUSIC! Music that includes an orchestra, a choral, solo instruments, or opera is CLASSICAL music, it's just no necessarily the classical PERIOD of music!
Don't listen to any of the fucked up definitions that state that the Classical Period is all classical music and that the Romantic Period is considered romantic music. It's all classical!
by Ohenry July 5, 2005
The most technically demanding genre of music in the world. Classical music focuses primarily on perfection. For listeners willing to look past cliche lyrics and generic beats found in about 80% of the music on MTV or the radio today.
The user complaining about how "Classical is boring. When is the last time you saw classical music on MTV or at no.1 in the charts?" is obviously being sarcasic. Because if he/she is not, then they are misguided. Just because it's popular and people are willing to throw away their money for it, doesn't make it good. Let's make a few comparisons between rap and classical, since thats where this debate is originating from:
1. Classical music has withstood the test of time. Rap has only originated in the past 20 years, and already many people don't know 70%+ rap bands around before todays "artists" (this appears to be the case with you, too). Classical has been around for hundreds of years, and you can still go to your local music store and pick up a classical based album.
2. In your point "Emotional music comes from the heart, not from fucking black dots written on a paper with lines.", don't you think that the people who put those same black dots you're complaining about on that paper where "coming from the heart"? when they wrote it?
3. If you had any knowledge of music or music theory, you would know that the artists you meantioned all use beats that a four year old uses to play "music". Rhyming and bitching are not hard to do, using complex harmonization, sequencing, and phrasing is.
4. You're a moron, joke or not. You don't know how to use proper grammer, puntuation, or paragraphs for that matter. You also talk like a pre-pubesent 12 year old desperatly trying to "fit in with the scene" in your town or neighborhood.
by wild_jary August 1, 2005
A style of music only some people can appreciate. Not many pre-teens and teenagers my age like it (I think that's because they want to be "cool"). I like classical, and rock. They're broad, but they're both pretty cool. Classical's always going to be "classic." Maybe in like 20 years, rock'll go out of fashion. Maybe I'll still like rock then, but I don't think it'll be that big. Classic examples of composers around the classical period are Mozart, Beethoven, and a lot others, check them out at your local music store.....classical can be wild and loud and sometimes it can be soft and calm. Don't think that listening to one classical piece will determine what the whole genre is like.
I, myself, have liked classical for a while. My graphics site is classicalgraphics.tk, I have ClassicalFonts, my screen names have to do with classical.....but that's all another thing.

Apidemy of well made music; Opposite of corporate, thrown together, modern sales pop-music; Fine Art for the ears.
"Classical; Classic; Classic great music."
by LORD HELL FEAR BLOOD March 16, 2003
Classical music is the height of music. It embodies the emotion of the creator and the listener. The genre varies from lighthearted frilly tunes to dark tunes.
As the Real Gangsta should probably realize, today's music is no match for classical music, seeing as how today's music contains no real emotion whatsoever and is mostly negative (against the establishment and so forth). Classical music varies in range and is still considered the greatest type of music created.
Classical music rules all the noise existing today.

Newly discovered microscopic worm species eyed as potential cause of beech leaf disease
Dave McCann, a plant pathologist with the Ohio Department of Agriculture, discovered a new species of nematode that he suspects could be the cause of beech leaf disease. (James F. McCarty/The Plain Dealer)
By James F. McCarty, The Plain Dealer
PARMA, Ohio - A cause and a cure for beech leaf disease remain elusive, but a two-day conference of arborists and botanists this week seemed to bring a newfound hope for a solution to those mysteries.
American beech trees comprise an integral component of North American forests, towering more than 80 feet tall with a distinctive smooth, gray bark. Beechnuts are relished by wild turkeys, wood ducks, woodpeckers, black bears and deer, and their tree cavities provide nesting sites for owls and woodland mammals.
Lake Metroparks naturalist John Pogacnik discovered the disease in 2012 in a grove of towering beech trees atop a ravine above the Grand River in Concord Township.
Beech leaf disease causes striping on the leaves, and eventually curling, early drop and eventual death for the tree.
Since then, the disease has decimated large tracts of trees in 23 Lake Metroparks properties, and spread to nine other counties in Northeast Ohio, as well as to parts of western Pennsylvania and New York, and southern Ontario.
The disease has captured the imaginations and sparked the fears of these foresters, some of whom have spent the past several years conducting scientific studies on the infected trees.
"The main goal of this workshop is to increase the dialogue," said James Jacobs, a plant pathologist with the U.S. Forest Service in St. Paul, Minnesota, addressing the audience. "Maybe one of these talks will pique your interests and spark an idea or a solution."
Some of the findings presented Wednesday, while not definitive, caused a buzz of excitement at the West Creek Reservation, where more than 50 of the tree sleuths had gathered for the workshop, and dozens of others followed the presentations via an online video connection.
Suspected causes of the unknown malady have ranged from bacteria, to a virus, fungus, or an insect such as a mite or an aphid.
More than 50 arborists and botanists gathered for a two-day workshop this week, while dozens of others followed the presentations via an online video connection, hoping to find solutions to the cause and cure of beech leaf disease.
But Dave McCann, a plant pathologist with the Ohio Department of Agriculture, proposed an intriguing new possibility: microscopic worms known as nematodes.
McCann was studying beech leaves under a microscope that had been infected by the disease when he noticed what he at first thought were hairs. But then he saw some of the hairs moving. They were actually hundreds of thousands of squirming nematodes, all feeding on the beech leaves.
McCann sent the nematode-infected leaves to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Research Center in Beltsville, Md., and soon received another surprise. The federal scientists reported that McCann had discovered a new species of nematode, similar but distinct to a nematode found in New Zealand that infects different types of trees, causing similar leaf damage.
"Could it be the cause" of beech leaf disease? McCann posed to the audience. "I'm not saying it is, but we're going to continue to conduct research on this possibility... and I plan to share our findings with the U.S. Forest Service."
Meanwhile, additional research is being conducted by David Burke, chief horticulturist at the Holden Arboretum, Enrico Bonello, a tree pest specialist at Ohio State University, Connie Hausman, a plant ecologist at the Cleveland Metroparks, and Jennifer Koch, a plant biologist with the USDA in Delaware, Ohio.
Burke began studying all of the microbes living on the infected beech leaves in 2014 after the disease first appeared at Holden. Since then, the disease has spread rapidly through the arboretum, infecting nearly every tree there, he said.
Based on McCann's findings, Burke said he has refocused his attention on DNA testing of nematodes found on the leaves. His tests, while promising, have yet to yield specific identification results.
"We are making progress, and a solution is more likely," Burke said. "I don't know if it's one species of nematode or many different species. But there's a good chance that we can detect if nematodes or fungi are the causes."
The conference attendees were urged to spread word of the beech leaf disease to foresters and arborists who work on private land, many of whom have never heard of the tree affliction and wouldn't know what it was if they found it on beech trees.
Jacobs also told the audience to prepare to download an app to help track the disease as it spreads primarily to the North and East, and to report newly infected tracts of beech forest once they are found.

fine ground kosher salt
Why So Many Kosher Salt Alternatives Are Available?
There are several kosher salts in the market today. But when purchasing any kosher salt for a home, be careful as many of them have chemicals added to them that may cause reactions with your diet and health.
Some of the salts are no more than table salt or other table salt which is not really kosher for use. The others are kosher and made from the finest quality salt and can be used in all your cooking needs. This article is written to help you keep kosher and avoid the chemical additives that may be in these kosher salts.
Kosher salt comes in a variety of different forms. You will find kosher salt with, or without a fine powder in it. The use of coarse salt means that more salt is needed to make the fine salt used in the kosher kitchens. However, it also results in a larger amount of chemicals being used to produce these kosher salts.
This is why the fine salt is recommended for use in kosher kitchens. You do not need to worry about the chemicals being absorbed into your bloodstream, and the kosher salt is safe to use.
Kosher salt may also be used in baking or cooking in any type of cooking. There are kosher salts on the market which are made from wheat, corn, potatoes, and carrots and other vegetables. These kosher salts are completely safe for people to use.
There are so many kosher salts that are kosher and are known to be pure. These Kosher salts will not have any chlorine in them, which is one of the ingredients that can cause problems for people with certain health issues.
Kosher salt may be found at most grocery stores, but there are some kosher shops that sell kosher salt products. These kosher shops offer a wide range of kosher products and varieties to choose from.
There are many kosher salt manufacturers who produce kosher salt products. These products are made with only one ingredient, and that is salt. They may be used for both cooking and baking.
Kosher salt is always made using only salt that is de-mineralized. This means that the salt will not have any minerals and none of the harmful toxins that can be found in mineral salts.
Many companies have developed different kosher salt varieties. However, there are several basic kosher salts which may be used in any kosher kitchen.
Kosher salt has been used since the 1950s, and continues to be used by many people. It has helped many people manage their blood pressure and has helped improve the overall health of many people.
These kosher salt salts can be found in most major grocery stores, but they can also be purchased online. These kosher salt options can be purchased by the case, by the bag, or on a per pound basis.

Chargers Daily Links
San Diego Chargers Daily Links: Casey Hayward has been a great addition
Your daily dose of San Diego Chargers news & notes from around the web.

Share All sharing options for: San Diego Chargers Daily Links: Casey Hayward has been a great addition
30 PFF stats to know for NFL Week 9 - Nathan Jahnke
One of the best free-agent additions this offseason has been Casey Hayward, who has played at a high level in San Diego. One thing Hayward wasn't great at in his last three years in Green Bay was getting interceptions, with just three over that three-year span. This year, he's already topped that mark in just half a season. This week he faces Marcus Mariota, who had a slow start to the season, but has 10 touchdowns to just one interception over their last four games. Hayward might have a tough time getting that fifth interception, given how well Mariota has played recently.
Philip Rivers Names All Eight of His Kids' Halloween Costumes - Chargers.com (video)
On a conference call with Tennessee media, quarterback Philip Rivers names all of his kids' Halloween costumes this year.
Mort & Schefter's Week 9 notebook - Adam Schefter & Chris Mortensen
Mariota seemingly made sense for the Chargers -- he was rated as their top quarterback prospect of the 2015 class. Rivers was the face of the franchise, but Mariota would have provided a fresh face.
Chargers DE Joey Bosa earns NFL defensive rookie of the month - Eric Williams
"He's very disruptive, a very good player with a high motor," said Tennessee coach Mike Mularkey, who had Bosa in for a pre-draft visit. The Titans had the No. 1 overall selection before trading it to the Rams, who selected quarterback Jared Goff. "[Bosa]'s a great athlete for the size, and just is very good with techniques. He's relentless, and the way he played in college -- it's showing up now. The more he gets comfortable in the system, I just think he's getting better and better each week."
Marcus Mariota, who wowed Chargers in draft process, happy with Titans - Eric Williams
"He's a very talented player and a great leader who really loves to play the game," McCoy said about Mariota. "After studying those type of players when you look at quarterbacks, that's the type of guy you want to lead your organization."
Dexter McCluster wants to show Titans he can still play - Eric Williams
"Me being there for two years, I kind of know the ins and outs of that system," McCluster said. "When I signed with the Chargers I circled this game on my calendar, because I know it's an opportunity to reunite with those guys and play with a chip on my shoulder.


I was surprised by my sweet husband this weekend as he helped me lug the bunkbeds to their new home downstairs and sent me off to IKEA to buy the frames for the bargain desk tops I found on Kijiji over a year ago. The end result is a room just for me - a sewing studio with a huge table for spreading out fabrics and cutting boards. There's still some fine tuning to do, but that will come as I use the space and figure out what works and what doesn't.
And in cleaning up, I checked my inventory for the coming fall season and found a spot that I couldn't quite get rid of on one of my baby quilts, so it's reduced in price from $110 to $60. The spot will not affect wear and may disappear over a few washings.
Price Reduced from $110 to $60 - Buy Here!
I found a few more things in my cleaning up, so you'll be seeing them over the next little while.
Lovely space..you will be very creatively inspired now!
Great space and all for sewing. Now how fast can it get messy. My friend just came over and could not believe how messy my place is.

Things have changed in the city that used to be called one of 'the most expensive capitals in Europe'.
It's affordable again. During the boom years of the Celtic Tiger, you had to search to find value, but now the city can once again be called affordable. Cheap flights and packages have made trips to Ireland more appealing than ever, but it still pays to know where to look for affordable food and entertainment. That's where EuroCheapo comes in.
I've started writing for this website that specializes in all things cheap in Europe. On their blog you will find up to date suggestions from writers who are on the ground in destinations across Europe. Short and sweet, I'm drawn to these blog posts because they provide attainable fun for travelers of any budget. Cheap often forces travelers off the beaten path as well, scratching beneath the surface of common and expensive attractions, restaurants, and entertainment.
Here's a round-up (and links) of my first few pieces over on EuroCheapo. Check it out and let me know in the comments box below if there's anything else you want to know about how to travel to Dublin affordably.
Affordable Theater Tickets: In the Irish capital city, theater tickets can cost the same as a few pints of Guinness. Despite the fact that Dublin is one of the literary capitals in the English-speaking world, theater tickets have remained affordable across the board. With a long tradition of story-telling and good humor, it should come as no surprise that the pleasure of attending theater is accessible to the masses.
The Mespil Street Market in Dublin – try the Paddy Jack sandwich.
3 Outdoor Food Markets: Before I tasted the Paddy Jack Sandwich, I thought I had tasted Irish lamb. Then one Saturday I was browsing through an outdoor food market in the Temple Bar District of Dublin and my perceptions were forever changed. This €5 sandwich consists of two country-thick slices of olive bread, generous slices of roasted lamb, brie cheese, special sauce, and a pile of arugula and mixed greens.
Dublin's Bike Share Program: In 2009, the streetscape in Dublin changed for good. Almost overnight the bicycle lanes were filled with splashes of blue – the Dublin bikes (or simply 'db') bike-share program had launched. A development like this in a city as small as Dublin caused quite a stir.
Breakfast and Brunch with a Twist: You don't have to order the (sort of scary?) black pudding or the full Irish breakfast to enjoy a meal that will banish your Guinness-induced headache on a Sunday morning in Dublin. While there are still plenty of places in town to find your traditional 'fry' (as an Irish breakfast is often called), there are also new places serving up brunch with a twist.
Dublin's Free Museums: Dublin might have a rainy reputation, but this city has many free museums where you can leisurely wait out a storm. Travelers might automatically be drawn to free art museums, but are also fascinating literature and science exhibits too.
Check out EuroCheapo's blog for great tidbits from writers in Barcelona, Paris, London, Venice, and more.
Bon Appetit: What Does Dave Matthews Eat For Breakfast?
Buona Pasqua! We may be lapsed Catholics, but the Smargiassi family still takes our Easter lamb seriously.
An April afternoon on 119th Street.
When your birthday falls on a rainy Friday, late lunch and a chocolate soufflé never disappoint.
For spring break I traveled 30 blocks to the Guggenheim on what felt like the first spring morning to see this celebration of color, the Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future exhibit (through April 23rd!). Winter can get you down on New York, but then spring arrives and you unzip your coat while walking in Central Park and the first snowdrops are in bloom and you remember.
Happy Paddy's Day and big love to all my Irish mates in Dublin and beyond. Thanks for welcoming me into your tribe. Sláinte.
Can't put down this new book from @jackmcgarry1 and @deadrabbitnyc celebrating Ireland's pub culture and distilleries. Some of my favorites in Dublin and beyond featured, and many more to add to my list. Well done lads!


Until we finish with the studio next month, all our Mondays are being spent on boat DIY. Some things that just need doing before winter regardless, and some things that will make my life easier once I have my small selection of 2017 projects stored on the boat.
Yesterday, we got the fireplace grouting finished and some tiles replaced behind the second stove. Ordered stuff to repaint our first stove (we're going to try cream), though it needs some Kurust on it first. Went over the chimney collar sealants again since the recent heavy rain revealed to us that there must be a gap or two somewhere… And touched up all the paintwork that had been damaged with the rainwater leaks last winter. It's all looking rather nice now! Still plenty to do, but yesterday was a good day of progress.
In other news, we're going to have a fair bit of furniture to shift when we leave the studio… Stuff is going to be dirt cheap to give you a good incentive to come and collect, so any craftspeople in need of tables, keep your eyes open! I'll probably write a post listing everything, seems easier that way.

Anatomy of the Knife: Fixed Blade Knives - Part 1: The Blade
Here on the Lansky Sharpeners Blog we've been providing some serious education on all the different types of blades and grinds. When you first start learning about knife sharpening and knives, it can be like trying to sip from a fire hydrant on full blast; there's a lot of information and it comes at you fast. For such a seemingly simple concept, knives and knife sharpening can get very complicated, very fast. So, what makes it seem so complicated?
First off, the sea of terminology used to describe different parts of knives can be daunting. Many of the terms used to describe the different parts of a knife stem from other languages and historical terms not in use today. Second, knives have gone through (and still do) so many modifications and changes over the years and more and more terms are added to the vocabulary.
Combine these two factors and it could lead a grown man to hide in a corner weeping over the good old days when a knife had three parts; a blade, guard and handle. So wash your hands, slip on your lab coat and put that silly paper mask on. It's time to learn anatomy; Fixed Blade Knife Anatomy.
Let's start with the basics; the visible characteristics on a basic fixed blade knife going from the tip of the blade to ricasso. As I mentioned in my last post Knife Blade Profiles and Uses knife blade come in many shapes and types. Though knife blades may have different characteristics and design, their anatomy (the different sections and pieces that form a serviceable knife) can generally be broken down with just a few variances.
FIXED BLADE ANATOMY
The Tip or Point of a blade is simple; it's the pointy end of the blade. You should know that by now, but I won't blame you. Tip and point can be used interchangeably but may be used separately to describe two different aspects of the anatomy. The "point" being literally the point where the spine and edge meet and the "tip" referring to a small section at the front of the blade that leads up to the point.
The Cheek or Face of a blade refers to each side of the blade, often used to refer to the section separate from the grind but can be used to refer to each side of the blade, including the grind.
The Spine of a blade refers to the dull, unsharpened back of a blade, the opposite side of the edge. Double edged blades (daggers) do not have a spine but most knives found in the home or for outdoor use will have a spine.
The Grind or Bevel of the blade is explained thoroughly in my post Knife Edge Grinds and Uses and refers to the cross section of the blade, or the section ground down to form the Edge. For more information about different grinds and their significance, follow my link above.
The Edge is the cutting surface of a blade that extends from point to heel. It's the sharp part! And also, the reason I have gainful employment.
The Belly of the blade refers to the curved section of the edge leading up to the tip. The belly on a blade increases the surface area of the edge and aids in making cuts or slices. Blades with large curved edges like fillet knives and scimitar style daggers have large bellies intended for strong slicing cuts.
The Heel of the blade refers the section of the blade next to the guard or handle. The heel encompasses a small section of the grind, the Plunge Line and the Ricasso.
The Plunge Line is where the grind stops and meets the edge, often at a right angle to the grind.
The Ricasso is the unsharpened section of a blade, closest to the guard/handle.
Some blades may have a Choil. A choil is an unsharpened indent on a blade where it meets the handle or at the plunge line. The size of a choil dictates its purpose, if it's large then it can be used as a forward finger grip. If it's small then the choil may be there to creat a stopping point when sharpening, to protect the handle.
A Fuller or Blood Groove (not shown) is a decorative feature that runs the length or a partial length of the blade. A fuller may be used to reduce the weight of the blade but often is used purely for decoration.
Jibbing (not shown) refers to a pattern of gouges or notches made on the spine of a blade close to the handle. Jibbing is used to aid in grip when doing fine work and as a decorative feature.
That's the anatomy of the basic blade on a knife; I think we'll stop there for now. Remember, more knowledge = a sharper knife, so let this information soak in. Make sure to join me next week as we continue to explore fixed blade knife anatomy in; Anatomy of the Knife: Fixed Blade Knives - Part 2: The Guard, Handle and Tang. Make sure to bookmark this blog, email it to a friend or add our RSS feed. Stay an Edge above the Rest!

Q: SCCM Subcriptions Account Lock-Up I am having an issue I'm hoping someone can shed some light on.
Currently, there is a subscription running on a per-machine basis that runs the report

Software registered in Add Remove Programs on a specific computer".

The subscription seems to work fine, however, the AD server complains about a bad password attempt, and eventually locks the network account up.  It seems odd that the report can run with bad credentials (which I've verified isn't the case), and populate the correct csv file.
The Event Viewer on the server states there are Audit Failures via Event ID: 4625, but again I am able  populate the data correctly...
Does anyone have any possible suggestions to troubleshooting this issue?

7 Beautiful Banqueting Venues
It goes without saying that at this time of year (and most others, actually), everyone's minds are on one thing: food. But at the following venues, dry turkey and Brussels sprouts boiled to a wrinkly squelch certainly won't cut it. We've listed some of our favourite banqueting venues, where feasting is foremost, where the emphasis is put upon the fare as well as the surroundings, allowing diners to enjoy the fully rounded dining experience.
1. Banqueting House
The name gives it away, doesn't it? This grand venue was our Unique Venue of the Month for November, and we mentioned the profound history: it is, after all, the site of James I's flamboyant parties. The Main Hall, built in 1622, today seats up to 500 in circular or long tables that stretch the length of the majestic space, while the view of the ceiling overhead is of Renaissance-style paintings commissioned by Charles I – who later lost an important part of his body at this very venue.
2. The Royal Society
We follow with another prestigious company – a British scientific academy whose venue, just off The Mall, has hosted some of the most important events in the scientific field. But it's not only open to doctorate physicists and chemists: it's also a public event venue with a capacity of up to 1,000, hosting receptions, launches and more. An award-winning caterer is on hand for gastronomic needs, and room hire is available so that post-meal commutes home can stay within the five-minute bracket.
3. Carousel
The Hire Space Plus Christmas party was recently held at this colourful Marylebone space, and the hospitality and winter-themed décor were faultless. Carousel is the place to head to if your concern (or your important guests' concerns) is primarily what's on the plate. The unique draw here is the line-up of guest chefs from around the world who reside at the venue for a short time, leaving legacies of menus from diverse cuisines – with upcoming ones including Indian, Japanese, Mexican, Argentinian, Swedish and French. Furthermore, the venue is no stranger to big-name corporate guests, having hosted Toni & Guy and Converse in the past.
4. Hix City
Renowned Mark Hix is the mastermind behind this City eatery, where British produce is manipulated cleverly into delicious dishes such as linguini with Portland crab and chilli, and sirloin of Glenarm Estate beef with Yukon Gold mash potato. For private dining, there are four feasting menus (to share), and three more formal menus (to absolutely not share), while delicate choices of wines and cocktails are paired suitably with meals. Mark's Bar, also on-site, can be transformed into a welcoming event space, holding up to 60 feasting fans.
5. Searcys, The Gherkin
Already named after a foodstuff, The Gherkin should automatically be considered a prime dining venue for banquets. Searcys is located on the 39th and 40th floors of the pickle-shaped building, where 360-degree, scenic views over London are sure to impress. Various rooms are available for a wide range of fine-dining events, from breakfasts to three-course dinners, to five-course dégustation menus.
6. The Ivory Vaults
Pretty St Katharine Docks is the location for this quirky and (literally) underground venue, where visitors can feast in a 200-year-old, Grade-II listed vault. The cryptic space is available for private-dining events tailored to individual needs, while a Medieval Banquet is a not-to-be-missed highlight, where a banquet from King Henry VIII's court is recreated in the form of four courses, costumes, and jugglers and acrobats. Authentic Medieval fare includes roasted chicken in slow-cooked civey, and old-fashioned spiced apple pie to sweeten the palate.
7. Drapers' Hall
We're coming full circle and ending with another traditional banqueting house – the home of the Drapery Company, the unmistakeable venue from such classic films as The King's Speech and Goldeneye. Drapers' Hall opens its doors and expansive City spaces to all sorts of celebrations, boasting personalised service and individually designed menus. The grand Livery Hall, with its marble columns, holds up to 270 for seated dinners, while the Court Dining Room is another popular space that wows with its lavish staircase and landing.

Benjamin Franklin: The Writer, The Inventor, The Scientist
Published on: Jan. 17, 2015 - By: Carlos Brian Hernandez
Three hundred nine years ago, in January 16, 1706, an individual who change and left his mark in history was born, the person who was born is "Benjamin Franklin".
Who is this character? Have we ever stop to think how he change history and our way of thinking? Many can easy identify him from the 100.00 dollar bill, but not many can understand and glimpse at the inner person this character is.
Benjamin Franklin was many things, among them: a civic leader, a diplomat, an inventor, a philanthropist, a printer, a scientist, a statesman, a writer among many other.
Benjamin's Early Days
Benjamin Franklin was the 15th child and last son of 17 children, his father was Josiah Franklin, a soap and candle maker. His father married twice, with his first wife, Anne Child, he had 7 children and with his second wife, Abiah Folger, he had 10 children. Since a young age, Ben demonstrated his intellect, but despite his success at Boston Latin School young Benjamin was drop-out from school to work with his father at candle making. However, the idea of dipping wax and cutting wicks was not part of young Benjamin future plan.
At the age of 12, young Benjamin was sent to his brother's print-shop as an apprentice, here young Ben quickly learned the printing business and soon the apprentice beats the Master (his brother). This caused Ben to suffer hard treatments James. The friction between them was strong, so strong that James refused to publish any of his brother's writing. Ben soon adopted the pseudonym Mrs. Silence Dogood and "she" began to write 14 narrative that were both entertaining, imaginative and delighted many readers. These were the firsts of many great literary works created by Benjamin Franklin.
To further his education in the printing trade, young Benjamin travel to Philadelphia, by this time the friction between James and him, had forced Ben to separate from his brother print shop. Here in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin lodge at the home of John Read, it is at this time that he met and courted Read's daughter Deborah.
Nevertheless, in 1724 Franklin left for London under the supports of Pennsylvania Governor William Keith. His plan soon backfire, when the governor's letters did not arrive and he was forced to look for work at print shops. Once employed young ben was able to enjoy and take full advantage of London's pleasures, among them attending theater, coffee houses and continuing his lifelong passion for reading.
When Benjamin Franklin reach the age of 20 the wanted a change, Franklin wanted to put his life in order. He returned to Philadelphia in 1726, looking Deborah, but he found out that Deborah Read had married. In the next few years he held several jobs, from being a bookkeeper to a currency cutter or a shopkeeper. At this time, Ben also fathered a son, William, out of wedlock. In late 1727, Benjamin formed the "Junto" and in 1728 he was able to establish his own print shop with a partner.
Benjamin's Successes and Failures
Like all great entrepreneurs success is only accomplish through the a few failures. Franklin himself once said, "Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out."
Below are some of his many success:
ABOLITIONIST - Started Society to Abolish Slavery
AGRICULTURE - Introduced several crops to U.S.
BANKING - Well known for maxims on thrift
BUSINESSMAN - Owned and operated several businesses
CARTOONIST - Drew 1st cartoon in an American newspaper

Without a doubt Benjamin Franklin was many things and Sani Dental Group admires one of US earliest influences. We invite to read more of Franklin history and achievements, learned of the many interesting articles published in the Poor Richard's Almanack or The Pennsylvania Gazette. In addition to his many literary works, Franklin made several "small but important" changes to the Declaration of Independence draft sent to him by Thomas Jefferson.
We invite all our readers to learn more about this great character and see all the accomplishments Benjamin Franklin has achieve.

Darling Red silk blouse, circa 1950s. Embroidered collar and neckline with a hint of embroidery at the hem of both sleeves. Scalloped edges to both sleeves and collar. Tiny pearlized buttons up the front. No label. Probably about a medium.
Excellent vintage condition. One pinhead sized hole in the back you can see in one photo and a pin sized dark speck on one sleeve. Also, it looks like the pleats in the back are coming out, and frankly don't think they were original to the top so one could just take those out or replace if wanted.

Scenes from BluCore, a shooting range in Lakewood, for our 2013 post "New to Guns, a Reporter Shoots for the First Time — With an AR-15."
Jon Caldara's federal lawsuit against Boulder's assault-weapons ban isn't the only attempt to shoot down the ordinance. A fresh complaint filed by the Colorado State Shooting Association, among others, and backed by the National Rifle Association takes aim at state court in an attempt to double the prospects of the ordinance being killed.
"We're trying on another front," notes Richard Westfall, the attorney behind the latest lawsuit, filed in Boulder County District Court, "and hopefully, one of us will be successful. We support their effort, but we focus on the state preemption issue."
Westfall adds the following explanation: "The Colorado General Assembly identifies firearms issues as matters of statewide concern. So when there were questions about local jurisdictions having conflicting gun laws, they weighed in and created a very comprehensive preemption statute that basically bans local jurisdictions from engaging in this kind of piecemeal regulation of firearms."
The Colorado Criminal Code "permits ownership of 'assault weapons,'" the document points out. "Colorado state law merely prohibits 'dangerous weapons' (including firearm silencers, machine guns, short shotguns, short rifles and ballistic knives) and 'illegal weapons' (including blackjacks, gas guns, and metallic knuckles)."
Anthony Fabian heads the Colorado State Shooting Association.
As Westfall reads the statute, he sees it as clear evidence that "local jurisdictions have been told they aren't supposed to wade into this area."
But others have, as he acknowledges. "The last big fight we had on this was with Denver," he notes, referencing a controversy that reached the Colorado Supreme Court in 2006. At that time, Denver's assault-weapons ban survived a challenge because of a highly unusual tie vote: Three justices argued to let the measure stay in place, three called for it to be tossed, and the seventh, Alison Eid, recused herself because she'd argued against Denver on the subject as part of her previous job as the state's solicitor general.
Because of this deadlock, Westfall says, "There's no precedent either way. But I think Denver's arguments were much stronger than Boulder's arguments. Boulder is on far weaker ground."
In addition, Westfall and company are receiving powerful assistance from the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action.
Yours truly at BluCore in Lakewood for our 2013 post "New to Guns, a Reporter Shoots for the First Time — With an AR-15."
The organization's executive director, Chris W. Cox, said in a statement, "Prohibiting law-abiding 18-20 year old adults from purchasing firearms and banning some of the most commonly used self-defense firearms in America will do nothing to improve public safety. Gun control only makes it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect and defend themselves. The NRA will do all we can to restore the Second Amendment rights of Boulder's law-abiding citizens."
Echoing these thoughts was Anthony Fabian, executive director of the CSSA. He referred our inquiry to Westfall, but in the NRA's release, he's quoted as saying, "We will not stand by and allow the misguided gun control extremists on the city council to strip us of our rights. We are grateful for the NRA's support of our lawsuit and look forward to restoring the rights of Boulder's law-abiding citizens."
Boulder officials are confident their ordinance will stand up to legal challenges. In May, Boulder Mayor Suzanne Jones told us, "Our ordinance is based on a provision of the Colorado state constitution that gives home-rule cities the power to supersede state law on matters of local concern."
