Get to know Anabelle Taub

My name is Anabelle Taub. Most who know me know that my biggest passion in life is helping out sick, abandoned and abused pets in South Florida. In fact, I have done rescue work (proudly) in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and in the Middle East during the 2006 war. That is a small part of personal life.

In my professional life, I combine my love for real estate together with my digital social media marketing and web design firm, Eco Press, based out of Aventura, Fl. That means, that when my real estate clients list their properties with me, I have an in-house marketing and web design firm to get their properties maximum exposure. My specialty is pet-friendly real estate in Miami and SE Broward counties.

I have taken hours and hours to compile a list of all the pet-friendly properties throughout Miami and Broward counties. I also specialize in Equestrian communities in Southwest Ranches and surrounding areas.

10% of all my earnings from sales are donated to local South Florida pet rescue organizations. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, chances are I can find you a pet-friendly property on the same day you contact me. It will be my  pleasure to find you and your beloved pet/s the perfect rental or forever home.

Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to call me Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at: 305-924-7471.

Sexless Marriage and Promises Not Kept

Home Welcome to the ADDitude Forums For Spouses & Loved Ones Sexless Marriage and Promises Not Kept

Viewing 1 reply thread

    • #54250

      My husband and I have been together for over a decade, and married for almost as long. When we first got together, our life was passionate and cuddly and awesome. Less than six months in, all that turned off with a switch. Over the course of the last ten years, it’s only gotten worse and worse. We’ve talked, and he’s promised to try and then nothing changes. I even opened the marriage just to get my sexual needs filled, and then all of a sudden his switch for sex went back into hyperdrive (I assume b/c it was new and shiny). That didn’t go so well, so we were only open about 2 months.

      A few months ago, he asked if we should try opening our marriage up again since that seemed to have “worked” last time. Personally I think it is putting a bandaid on a bullet wound, and we are now seeing a sex therapist. I’ve been giving and giving and giving and only once has he leaned my way consistently. If it were up to him we would hardly ever have sex or even cuddle. Hoping this therapist can help us, but she really seemed to understand that I couldn’t do anything if hubby wasn’t willing to make a conscious effort to lean my way. That it wasn’t just going to fix itself.

      We know he has ADHD, and he’s been to many doctors to try and find medications that helped him get better, but nothing has helped. I’m tired, frustrated, and today’s counselling appointment makes me wonder is there ever a way to get an ADHD spouse to learn that part of having ADHD and a successful marriage is learning that you have to make reminders to show your partner they are a priority.

      For those of you that have been in the same situation, how have you coped. Other than this situation my husband is very supportive, we enjoy each other’s company, and things are great. This has just become such a road block for us that I’m left wondering can I live like this for the rest of my life. Please let me know how you cope.

Afro Innovation Group We build strength, stability and self-reliance through the help we provide to the community. Volunteer Donate

Afro Innovation Group (AIG) is a BAME-led registered charity which has operated in the city of Leicester since 2006. We work with a wide range of communities and service users, and collaborate with multiple stakeholders, including voluntary, public and private bodies. Since forming, our main focus has been on work with BAME communities, including new migrants to the UK (including EEA families), refugees, asylum seekers and those from lower income families in the city, county, and the Midlands region, and since 2015, nationally across the UK.

We are an ambitious organisation and want to grow the services we offer. Those we assist often require long term support following trauma, family loss, mental health issues or abandonment. Along with our core advice work, we are adding an affordable housing component to our work, and we are also creating an international venture. After many years of working in partnership with more established local international NGOs, we are planning to establish an office in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Our overarching aim is to empower our service users to access essential services in the UK in order to help them create a sustainable future for themselves and their families.

Our Values

Equality and Diversity

We believe in the fundamental right of everyone to live a life free from persecution.

The power of solidarity, community and collective action to achieve positive change.

The mission of Afro Innovation is to be recognised as one of the best providers of support to refugees, asylum seekers, and disadvantaged migrants in the East Midlands, and as a strong contributor to the aspiration of Leicester to drive out inequalities in the cities.

Our vision is to increase public empathy for refugees, asylum seekers, and migrant protection matters in the East Midlands. We also aim to exert positive influence on local authorities and public attitudes in support of the fair treatment of refugees.

In support of our mission we deliver a range of advice, advocacy and support services that have a positive impact on the lives of our beneficiaries, and that build on our role as a provider of genuinely holistic services.

How Does a CPA Perform an Audit for Businesses?

How Does a CPA Perform an Audit for Businesses?

How Does a Certified Public Accountant- CPA Perform an Audit?

How Does a CPA Perform an Audit for Businesses?A CPA is the most highly sought after and versatile accountant who has met a minimum educational requirement along with professional experience. He or she abides by the code of ethics after clearing his four-part examination. Further, CPAs perform an audit for business welfare.

What a CPA Does Which the Other Accountants Cannot Do?

Accounting contains various subjects which can be handled by an accountant such as taxes, auditing, accounting, consulting for business, corporates, start-ups but there are two important things which a CPA does that cannot be done by an accountant:

  1.       A CPA performs an audit and prepares audited financial reports and filing a report with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). It is mandatory for all the existing business to file their audited financial statements with SEC.
  2.       A CPA is eligible to represent in front of the Internal Revenue Service.

Understanding Audit

An audit is a financial statement drafted by a company but the report drafted by a CPA is of the highest level. The CPA perform an audit and give the users opinion about their financial frameworks. A CPA makes a financial statement in accordance with the proper financial reporting framework. An audit report can be submitted to the lenders, investors, suppliers in order to gain their confidence for business purposes.

An audit is the written proof that the company is free from material misstatements and if these misstatements are errors or frauds.

A CPA passes the above statement by testing, comparing and tracing the items. As a result of gathering sufficient evidence, he may now issue his opinion about the material misstatements.

While undergoing the assessment of complete business operations, a CPA becomes aware of all the internal weakness and can suggest for improvement. He assesses the fraud risk.

What Does an Auditor do?

While auditing is a lengthy process which must be carried by professionals, this is to ensure precision in reporting the financial statement of the businesses. A CPA perform an audit through the following steps:

  1.       Gaining complete knowledge of the business operations by interacting with management and others
  2.       Understanding the internal control system and evaluating the same.
  3.       Performing analytical performances as noted in account balances for both expected and unexpected variances
  4.       Testing the supporting documents for balances and transactions
  5.       Checking the inventory count physically
  6.       Confirming the receivable accounts with a third party

Key Aspects of an Audit

The key aspects of an audit are as follows:

  • Audit reports are visible to the creditors, investors and other parties for the development of trust in making business deals.
  • A CPA presents a report which expresses that the financial statement is fair in all the aspects
  • Audit reports are particularly necessary while involving outside investors, high financing or selling the business.
  • It is an assurance that the financial statements are completely free of any material misstatements.

The following are obligatory for a CPA when performing an audit:

  • Shall be independent
  • Obtain a complete understanding of the internal risk and assess fraud risk
  • Perform analytical procedures
  • Perform verification procedures.

How Does a CPA Perform an Audit for Businesses?

Typically, the CPA performs an audit which is entirely different and of the highest level thus providing accuracy along with a suggestion for the scope of improvement in the business operations, financial statements.

When all else fails … pull out the crayons.

On August 6, 2009 by Aimee

That should be my new motto as I think these crayons have shown up in quite a few sessions lately. At least they are colorful! 🙂

So these three came in to beat the rush at Christmas. Decked out in their red and white, they brought a wonderfully festive air to the room. Their smiles, laughter and the warmth in the studio added to it. Granted it was something like 90 degrees outside.

The first photo here is really just an outtake. Actually it was my lighting test shot. Go figure as if these were my three? That’s EXACTLY the card I’d send out. 🙂

For now I leave you to enjoy and a bid you a very Merry Christmas!

In Which Tommy Loves To Swim

“Tommy, you’ll have to bring your jacket because it’s a little chilly,” I called out. I picked up his jacket and realized that it felt heavy. Then I checked his pockets and found a ton of stones. “Er, Tommy? Is there a reason for these?” I showed him the stones in my palm and he gave me a big grin.

“They’re my magic,” he explained solemnly.

I nodded as though this made complete sense. “I see,” I said. I left the stones alone because you can’t mess with magic.

“You ready to go?” I asked Tommy as he shrugged on his jacket.

We were headed for his swim lessons. He’s been going all month long. Yesterday was his last lesson. Thankfully Tom has been coming home from work in time to watch Natalie so I don’t have to worry about her trying to leap into the pool. And she definitely would try, too. I just know it. Unfortunately swim lessons don’t start for her until three.

“Mommy? Do I swim super duper fast?” Tommy wondered as we drove to the aquatic center.

“Yes you do,” I said and I wasn’t telling a fib. When he first started out he was usually the last kid to touch the wall. Now he usually finishes first or second. Granted, there are only two other kids in the class, but the beginning he’d get frustrated and stomp over when the lessons were over. His lips would be clenched and he’d be sulking at his feet.

“I’m always last place,” he muttered to me.

“Well. You just have to keep trying,” I told him as I rubbed him down with the towel.

When we got to his last day of swim lessons he went over to his teacher and said, “Guess what? My Mom showed me videos of people swimming!” His voice reverberated around the room. My kid has a loud voice. But he was right though: I HAD showed him videos of people swimming because he doesn’t seem to understand the concept of the butterfly stroke. So I showed him a race that a bunch of swimmers did. And okay, one of those swimmers MAY have been Michael Phelps…which is why I heard Tommy saying (loudly) to his teacher,

“And Mom thinks one of the swimmers is a stud.”

His last word seemed to echo around the room so it sounded like “Stud-ud-ud-ud…”

A few of the other mothers waiting started to giggle. One of them leaned over to me and mouthed, “Michael Phelps?” and with a red face I meekly nodded. I should have lied and said something like, “Actually, no. Mark Spitz.”

Swimming seems to be Tommy’s thing. We knew we could never put him in t-ball or soccer or flag football—sports that other parents seem to quickly want their boys to be in. The reason being is that Tommy is extremely sensitive. If he didn’t hit the ball in t-ball, he’d surely cry. If he didn’t get to kick the ball in soccer, there would be tears. If someone accidentally pushed him down in flag football, he’d probably sink to the grass in despair and turn into Nancy Kerrigan and shriek, “WHYYYYYY? WHYYYY?”

Sure, he may have improved. But Tommy is just wired to want to succeed all the time. He has Aspergers and doesn’t always understand the rules of our society.

I noticed he had a knack for swimming when we were visiting my parents over the summer. They have a pool and I’d watch as Tommy taught himself how to swim.

“Look Mommy! Look! Am I swimming?” he’d call out hopefully as he splashed across the pool.

“Yes! You are swimming!” I’d shout.

Still, I wanted him to improve because when he was in the pool, he sort of thrashed around. I wanted him to understand the different strokes.

So he started swim lessons.

And yeah, he had problems sometimes. The teacher would teach them how to kick their legs and Tommy wouldn’t always comprehend. He’d try for a few seconds and then revert back to the way he knew how. Tommy isn’t always aware of how his appendages work which is why he’s been in occupational therapy since he was three. This is another reason why other sports wouldn’t sit well with him: he’s awkward when he runs and trips over his two feet if he gets overexcited.

Tommy’s best stroke turned out to be the backstroke. I’d watch in awe as he’d get on his back and propel himself easily across the pool.

It’s humbling to know that your seven-year-old swims better than you.

He still needs some more lessons so he understands all the different strokes and how exactly to do them. When his teacher was trying to teach him to do the butterfly he looked at her and went, "I don't like that one. Let's do the backstroke again." So I’ll be signing him up for more lessons. Unfortunately the base pool is closing for renovations until March so now I have to travel off base—which is fine but when it starts to get dark, I tend to get nervous because I hate driving in the dark. But I’ll do it. I’ll do it for him. Because swimming makes him happy.

  1. AW! I love it when little ones learn to swim. LOL at Phelps stud.

  2. Awww! Congrats Tommy on finishing your swimming lessons!! And the backstroke,amazing how they learn the hardest ones first.Good luck,in your next set of lessons!!

  3. You're an awesome mom, you know that?

  4. you're such a good mama! and that's awesome that he's found something positive that he excels in!! win win situation!

  5. You're just the coolest of cool beans as a Mom! I'm so glad that there is something Tommy feels good at. I wish there was something I felt I did really well when I was his age!

  6. That's awesome! You really do have the next Michael Phelps on your hands! Studly and all!

  7. Oh cool. A pool with orange cones in it... I know they can't swim breast stroke...

    :) I hope Tommy someday breaks a few of "Stud Phelps" records.

  8. Very cute and intuitive boy. Swimming is a great sport.

  9. Good for him! I couldn't get my son to swim for anything!

  10. such a wonderful mother you are! and both natalie and tommy are so lucky to have you... and so glad that tommy found something that he really loves and enjoys.. sometimes, that seems to make all the difference!

  11. What a good Mommy you are, and thanks for not messing with his magic.

  12. I really think he could have done worse than announce to the world that you think Michael Phelps is a stud :) It's so cool to watch them find their "thing". Congrats to you and to Tommy!

  13. Hi! I have been reading your blog for awhile now and I really love it!

    I am a high school teacher and my students are currently reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" which is told from the point of view of a 15 year old with Asperger's. Would you mind me sharing part of your story with them? The part about his difficulties would really help to give them a real life connection!

    And, I love your writing style! :)

  14. Stud...that's funny. It's great that you are encouraging him in this.

  15. I firmly believe one of the best things a parent can do for her child is to give him something -- one thing -- that he knows he's really good at.

    Good going, Mom!

  16. he is such a good little swimmer.

  17. He looks so cute in that great big pool.
    A future STUD!

  18. That's so cool he found something he enjoyed!

  19. How fun for him. I'm glad you're able to find something like this that he's into.

  20. Good for him! My Little Man is so not feeling swimming:(

  21. I'm glad that Tommy likes swimming, and that you've thought it out as to what sport he would enjoy. It's good to find something that a child will enjoy and can feel good about himself/herself.

    Cool beans about the magic rocks - as long as he's not SWIMMING with them in his pocket! LOL!

    I was going to tell you about the book that classroomconfessions talked about. It's a fiction book, but it's good.

  22. My mom threw me in the pool when I was 6 months old, and that's when I learned to swim. I loved it. She was scared I would drown, but there was a lifeguard in the pool by me. Maybe he will be the next Michael Phelps?

  23. Stud!

    I'm glad you didn't mess with magic. And I'm glad you're gonna drive in the dark. For Tommy.

  24. That is AWESOME and I'm so glad he found his niche. I don't like driving in the dark either, but I would do it for my kids in a heartbeat too. Thanks for sharing this heart warming story about Tommy! He looks to be one special kid! Big hugs, Trac~ :o)

  25. Great post! Your son sounds like a doll.

  26. I bet all the other Mums went straight home and fished out Michael Phelps videos "for the kids" LOL

  27. I agree with everyone else - you are an awesome mom! And your son is adorable, he looks so little in that great big pool! Go Tommy, go!

  28. Congrats Tommy on finishing your swimming lessons!! And the backstroke,amazing how they learn the hardest ones first.Good luck,in your next set of lessons!!

  29. OMG. Loved the Nancy Kerrigan reference! I nearly shot soda out of my nose, thankyouverymuch! That's just absolutely awesome that he's doing so well in swimming and has found his own niche in the sports world.

  30. I love that he has that "thing" that works for him. And its so good for him too.

Thanks for the comment!

Crow Leadership Academy kitchen addition

Posted in , on April 30, 2021

There are still about four weeks of school left, but Crow Leadership Academy’s kitchen can’t wait that long. It’s shutting down next Friday.

Construction crews will move into the kitchen and cafeteria to begin renovations and tie it into an adjacent addition that has been under construction for much of the school year. All the work has to get done this summer so it’s ready for school in August.

Students won’t have to wait till August to eat though. Meals for the rest of this school year will be prepared at the district’s catering kitchen in the Food and Nutrition Services building, recently renovated as part of the 2019 Bond.

The new kitchen addition under construction at Crow is also part of the 2019 Bond and just one of two additions currently underway. The other includes a new wing with nine classrooms and a gymnasium.

See construction progress photos from yesterday.

The additions will allow Crow to accommodate a growing student population, part of an east Arlington master plan that is rezoning all elementary schools in the area.

Even without an increase in students though, the kitchen addition was needed. Crow’s current kitchen is tiny, cramped and only has one serving line. The addition will allow for more food preparation space, a second serving line and an office for the food and nutrition manager. It will also be the district’s first kitchen designed with a dishwashing machine for trays.

“Our new cafeteria and additional service line will allow us to serve more students,” said Crow Principal Jamie MacDougall. “It will also provide a functional space to gather for student presentations and community events.”

Along with the additions, renovations in the existing building will include new classroom doors, ceiling fixtures, toilet fixtures and more. Outside, Crow will get two new covered playgrounds, one for younger students and one for older students.

The new spaces and renovations are slated for completion by August of 2021.

Someday is today.

"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties."~Erich Fromm

We all have our preconceived notions and ideas that shape our beliefs. This has been an amazing

2-month journey through my Chicago and LA book launch soirees! I will share some photos and then

3 new developments!

From our LA event with Hotel Erwin and HIGH Rooftop Lounge on Venice Beach.

I love how the landscape reflects the image in the banner.

Shelley, one of our Secrets to Shine Through the Noise readers made us the beautiful sign! Our Italian family at Nando Milano made us a special cake for the Chicago and LA launch soirees (yes I was able to fly with the cheesecake, and our film friend even requested that I start a Twitter account for the cheesecake during its journey. So we did.)

We were also thrilled with the artistic cake that perfectly matched my book cover from Cake and Art, West Hollywood.

                                                       [Top and cake photos: Axel Koster.]

 Chef Gloria helped guests #GoGold for Teens with me during our September launch, top photo by Akasha; extra grazie to Chef Alessio Vullo for helping with our cakes. I even had a chance to put my producer hat on and pitch to casting agents while in LA...and auditions have been going well. We hope to see Chef Alessio on a Food Network show soon!

                   Bestie Ann flew in from Minneapolis to share the joy of my first book launch and dinner in Chicago. There's a set photo of us in #ShineThroughtheNoise from my first film, "Influence".

Yes this means that the Davanti thriller series is being edited with a few scintillating updates during #NaNoWriMo, and the screenplay is taking shape as well! In #ShineThroughTheNoise we learned about the importance of negotiating and having options. I'm ready for some healthy bidding on my travel thriller series covering exotic rivieras...

[Ann photo, A Taste of Chicago photography.]

  The Ultimate Comeback: The Chicago Cubs and one for the ages. Selfie @ Wrigley Field the night the Cubs won the World Series: dear friend, author and event god, Anthony Navarro.

News & Pretty Views:

I just found out that I won 6 Marcom awards for web and branding work this year! I'm very proud of the teams and of continuing in the upward direction.

The CEO of Motivational Press invited me to co-author a book with him with a spotlight on branding strategy. It is called Lighting Growth: Success Strategies for Today's Leaders.  I will keep you posted on a release date and success summits that will follow!

In that same vein, we'll remind ourselves that "someday is today"! It's a new world era whether you are a Cubs fan in Chicago or not. It's there something that you've been putting off?

Remember: Wheveryou are on your journey...believe it's worth the trip.

Here's to bright horizons and believing that our hard work will pay off.

[Photo by Akasha from the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii; in the running for a book cover based on reader requests.]

3) Please check out the new campaigns from our charity and community partner: Teen Cancer AmericaI presented Simon and Geraldine of Teen Cancer America with a check from donations at our Chicago #ShineThroughtheNoise dinner launch event (Nando Milano generously donated time, talent  and funds). TCA has added an inspiring auction sections to their website. I'm working to help curate a wonderful Chicago experience for auction, so stayed tuned!

Thank you for following my journey!

Cheers & fair winds,

Akasha Lin

Online auction for Albion in the Community

Comments 0

Albion in the Community (AITC) is auctioning off a selection of signed shirts from Brighton & Hove Albion’s recent game with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Premier League match, which ended in a vital 1-0 win for Chris Hughton’s team, also saw generous Albion fans show their support for AITC by donating more than £35,000 to the club’s official charity.

As in previous seasons, AITC is now auctioning off a number of shirts issued to the team for that game, including home shirts signed by Bruno, Jose Izquierdo, Shane Duffy, and club captain Bruno.

Also available are shirts signed by England international Lewis Dunk and AITC’s official ambassador Maty Ryan.

AITC has 13 shirts in total, including a home top and an away top signed by the entire squad. The other shirts now open for bidding were issued to: Dale Stephens, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Beram Kayal, Yves Bissouma, Gaetan Bong, Solly March, and Anthony Knockaert.

And the charity is also offering one young fan the chance to walk out with their Albion heroes as a mascot at the Boxing Day home game with Arsenal.

The mascot place, which includes a match tickets for one adult and one junior in the West Lower and a replica Albion kit to wear on the day and take home, is being in an online raffle, with entry available in return for a donation of just £5.

To view AITC’s auction, or to enter the raffle, visit:

Money raised from the auction and raffle will help fund AITC’s award-winning work across Sussex.

Mount Melbourne stands at 2,732 m (8,963 ft) tall.

It is a stratovolcano looming over Terra Nova Bay in Victoria Land of Antarctica – an area extensively explored during Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition.

It was named after British Prime Minister Lord Melbourne, having been discovered by James Clark Ross in 1841. The most recent eruption was in the 18th-19th Century.

I was lucky enough to have a few days in Terra Nova Bay whilst travelling to and from McMurdo Base and so naturally took some long walks – it was a special place to visit- with icebergs gleaming back in the distance, Orcas spotted in the water around the coast and Mount Melbourne towering over the horizon.

A breakfast spread on a table and an image of the Grand Floridian Resort with a deep blue sky, and a menu from the Grand Floridian Cafe

2021 Disney’s Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast Review (+ Photos!)

I have a lot of opinions about Disney breakfast.

First of all, starting your day off right at the most Magical Place on Earth is a must-do, and secondly, there are so many options of where to eat your bacon and eggs that it can be overwhelming.

In this Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast review, I’ll talk about why it’s one of the best breakfasts out of the parks, what you should be most excited about when visiting, and the Grand Floridian Cafe service.

Want insider Disney tips from an expert?

Join 4,000 others in weekly guides to Disney’s hidden secrets, gems, and money-saving tips!

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast Reservations

Grand Floridian Cafe has become known as a restaurant that you can easily get a walk-up reservation for, but judging from our last visit, I would still encourage making reservations so you don’t have to wait long, especially if you’re visiting the Grand Floridian at Christmas.

You can make breakfast reservation at Grand Floridian Cafe by logging into My Disney Experience.

Grand Floridian Cafe Hours for Breakfast

The Grand Floridian Cafe serves breakfast from 7:30am to 11:00am each day.

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast Menu

You can find the Grand Floridian breakfast menu here.

I’ll talk more about the food that was available on the Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast menu, what we had, and what kind of options there are later in the post.

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast Prices

Compared to other Disney breakfasts like the breakfast at Ale and Compass at the Yacht Club, I think that the breakfast prices at Grand Floridian cafe are reasonable (not cheap, mind you).

You’ll get an adult breakfast for about $16 to $20 and a plate of waffles or pancakes for about $15.00. Kid’s meals run about $9.00 to $13.00.

While this is way more expensive than you’d find at IHOP, you’re dining at Disney’s most expensive and flagship resort across from the Magic Kingdom, complete with Disney service.

We didn’t find the Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast prices extortionate for the quality of the food and atmosphere.

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast Theming

The entire Grand Floridian resort is themed to show off its Victorian elegance and a charming “old world” Florida, and the Grand Floridian Cafe is the same.

PS, if you want your whole house to smell like the Grand Floridian, check out this amazing Grand Floridian candle to change your life.

You’ll find lovely floral wallpaper and lighting fixtures, as well as chairs with elegant backs and floral arrangements dotted around.

It’s not overwhelmingly “themed” like somewhere like Boma, but done up enough to feel like you are having a nice breakfast out.

Like many Disney Deluxe resorts, the theming is not “Disney-themed,” so you should know that the Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast has few traces of the Disney characters, nor is this a character dining experience.

My absolute favorite part of the atmosphere at the Grand Floridian are the gorgeous windows looking out onto Grand Floridian property.

I could have sat and looked out those windows forever.

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast Service

We experienced great service at the Grand Floridian Cafe, from the man who greeted us at the front desk who was super friendly to the woman who took us back to our table to our server.

The cast members were friendly, smiling, and happy to help and provide suggestions about our meals.

I wouldn’t say that service was over-the-top amazing like nothing I’ve experienced before at Disney, but it was quality Disney service.

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast Food

Let’s talk about the most important part of this Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast review – the food!

The unique thing about this menu is that you can enjoy both breakfast and brunch type options.

They know that most people are there for the eggs, french toast, and bacon type of breakfast, but you can also order salads, sandwiches and pasta if you’re eating closer to lunch and people in your party don’t want breakfast food.

The first thing we noticed when we walked in were that everyone seemed to have biscuits.

We knew that we needed to get our hands on some, fast, so we asked how we could order them as they weren’t on the menu, and it turns out that they are complimentary biscuits with Florida orange butter that every table gets.

These biscuits were incredible – so soft, moist and worked perfectly with the butter, which had a hint of orange but wasn’t so overwhelming that kids or picky eaters wouldn’t like it.

For our mains, we had the “Grand Breakfast” which comes with two eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash brown casserole, and the french toast.

Both were really delicious, and the plating and taste definitely felt like you were at a nicer restaurant.

This wasn’t your quick service bacon and eggs, but nicely cooked sit-down breakfast with a hash brown casserole that was really awesome.

This seemed to be the case for most of the food that was on the menu – from the eggs benedict to the buttermilk pancakes to the open-faced sandwiches, the food looked well thought out and appetizing.

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast for Vegetarians and Vegans

If you’re a vegetarian or vegan hoping to dine for breakfast at the Grand Floridian Cafe, you’re in luck.

The vegetarian options are plentiful, ranging from pancakes to waffles to eggs and potatoes with vegetarian substitutes to avocado toast to fruit and yogurt and salad options.

You could also ask for a standard meal that has meat in it, but ask to substitute the meat out or leave it off if you wanted to adjust something else.

If you’re vegan, tell the server who will be able to provide you with options and also ensure that you can still enjoy the menu – this is one of the most vegetarian and vegan-friendly options at Walt Disney World, so don’t be afraid to speak up and see what they can do for you.

And of course, if you don’t want to make any special requests, you have options like a vegetable and garlic pasta and avocado toast with tomatoes waiting for you to enjoy.

Grand Floridian Cafe Breakfast for Kids

To finish off this review of the Grand Floridian Cafe breakfast, I want to address dining here with kids, because many people will have the little ones in tow, perhaps before a day riding the best rides at the Magic Kingdom for babies.

Firstly, kids are more than welcome and while this is a nice restaurant, you can still come in “theme park clothes” as they know many people will be – it’s not a “you must dress up” kind of breakfast, and the kids should feel comfortable coming and enjoying this eating location.

They’ve got coloring pages and crayons for the children, as well, to keep them occupied while you do some hardcore staring at the beautiful Grand Floridian grounds out the windows.

Kid’s menu options range from eggs to Mickey waffles for the picky eaters and also offer children’s portions of things like miso-salmon and beef skewers for the more adventurous ones.

Guidelines for Article types

Research Articles

Research articles are articles written based on the empirical/secondary data collected using a clearly defined research methodology, where conclusion/s is drawn from the analysis of the data collected.
The information must be based on original research that adds to the body of knowledge in Neurological Research.
Article/s should provide a critical description or analysis of the data presented while adding new and rapidly evolving areas in the field.
Include an abstract of at least 300 words with 7 to 10 important keywords.
The abstract should be divided into Objective, Methods, Results, and Conclusion.
Research articles must adhere to a format constituting the introduction followed by a brief review of relevant literature, methodology applied (to collect the data), discussion and References, Tables, and Figure Legends.

Review Articles

Review articles are written based mostly on secondary data that is falling in line with the theme of the journal. They are brief, yet critical discussions on a specific aspect of the subject concerned. Reviews generally start with the statement of the problem with a brief abstract of 300 words and few key words. Introduction generally brings the issue forward to the readers followed by analytical discussion with the help of necessary tables, graphs, pictures and illustrations wherever necessary. It summarizes the topic with a conclusion. All the statements or observations in the review articles must be based on necessary citations, providing complete reference at the end of the article.

Commentaries are opinion articles written mostly by the veteran and experienced writers on a specific development, recent innovation or research findings that fall in line with the theme of the journal. They are very brief articles with the title and abstract that provides the gist of the topic to be discussed, with few key words. It straight away states the problems and provides a thorough analysis with the help of the illustrations, graphs and tables if necessary. It summarizes the topic with a brief conclusion, citing the references at the end.

Case Study

Case studies are accepted with a view to add additional information related to the investigative research that advances in the field of Neurological Research. It should add value to the main content/article submitted, by providing key insights about the core area. Cases reports must be brief and follow a clear format such as Cases and Methods Section (That describe the nature of the clinical issue and the methodology adopt to address it), discussion section that analyzes the case and a Conclusion section that sums up the entire case.

Editorials are concise commentaries on a currently published article/issue on Neurological Research. Editorial office may approach for any such works and authors must submit it within three weeks from the date of receiving invitation.

Clinical Images

Clinical Images are nothing but photographic depictions of Neurological Research and it should not exceed more than 5 figures with a description, not exceeding 300 words. Generally no references and citations are required here. If necessary, only three references can be allowed. Do not add separate figure legends to clinical images; the entire clinical image text is the figure legend. Images should be submitted with the manuscript in one of the following formats: .tiff (preferred) or .eps.

Letters to the Editor/Concise Communications

Letters to the editor should be limited to commentaries on previous articles published with specific reference to issues and causes related to it. It should be concise, comprehensive and brief reports of cases or research findings. It does not follow a format such as abstract, subheads, or acknowledgments. It is more a response or the opinion of the reader on a particular article published and should reach the editor within 6 months of article publication.

This section includes acknowledgement of people, grant details, funds, etc.

#Note: If an author fails to submit his/her work as per the above instructions, they are requested to maintain clear titles namely headings, subheading.

These should be used at a minimum and designed as simple as possible. We strongly encourage authors to submit tables as .doc format. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and footnotes. Each table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading and a legend. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. Preferably, the details of the methods used in the experiments should be described in the legend instead of the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text. Cells can be copied from an Excel spreadsheet and pasted into a word document, but Excel files should not be embedded as objects.

#Note: If the submission is in PDF format, the author is requested to retain the same in .doc format in order to aid in completion of process successfully.

The preferred file formats for photographic images are .doc, TIFF and JPEG. If you have created images with separate components on different layers, please send us the Photoshop files. All images must be at or above intended display size, with the following image resolutions: Line Art 800 dpi, Combination (Line Art + Halftone) 600 dpi, Halftone 300 dpi. See the Image quality specifications chart for details. Image files also must be cropped as close to the actual image as possible. Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Begin each legend with a title and include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text.

Figure legends:

These should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet.

Tables and Equations as Graphics

If equations cannot be encoded in MathML, submit them in TIFF or EPS format as discrete files (i.e., a file containing only the data for one equation). Only when tables cannot be encoded as XML/SGML can they be submitted as graphics. If this method is used, it is critical that the font size in all equations and tables is consistent and legible throughout all submissions.

Supplementary Information

All Supplementary Information (figures, tables and Summary diagram/, etc.) is supplied as a single PDF file, where possible. File size within the permitted limits for Supplementary Information. Images should be a maximum size of 640 x 480 pixels (9 x 6.8 inches at 72 pixels per inch).

Proofs and Reprints

Electronic proofs will be sent as an e-mail attachment to the corresponding author as a PDF file. Page proofs are considered to be the final version of the manuscript and no changes will be made in the manuscript at the proof stage. Authors can freely download the PDF file.

Grace Words

A Daily Bible Reader's Blog

Presented by Mike Tune, Pulpit Minister for the Church of Christ in Falls Church and Amazing Grace International

Reading Through the Bible, Wednesday, July 6. Psalms 133-135

    In just three verses, David emphasizes something that is too often forgotten in Christendom: how much God wants us to get along with one another.  Like the anointing of Aaron, unity among brethren brings God’s approval.  Like the refreshing dews of Mt. Hermon, Israel’s highest mountain, unity brings God’s refreshing blessing.

    When brethren treat one another like anything but family – even (and perhaps especially) in the name of orthodoxy (or truth) – they fall outside God’s approval and blessing.  It is possible to be right, and act wrong, but it is not possible to act wrong and be like God.

What Is a Hallmark on Your Jewelry, and How Can You Identify It?

Do you have a piece of jewelry you think may be valuable? Well, then you've come to the right place.

Whether you're looking to know more about your jewelry or sell it for some quick cash, you should check to see if it has a hallmark. But what exactly is a hallmark, and how do you spot one?

Keep reading to find all the answers you've been searching for.

What Is a Jewelry Hallmark?

A hallmark is a stamp on valuable jewelry that tells you the type of metal it's made from and its purity. Precious metals are considered silver, platinum, gold, or palladium, and purity refer to the minimum amount of pure metal present.

A precious metal must go through the assaying process to get a hallmark, which determines its quality. And once it is complete, the hallmark can be applied.

These marks are put on jewelry to ensure that the buyer is getting the correct amount of precious metal for the price. And if they ever wish to sell it, the hallmark also helps future buyers know the item's estimated value.

You may also see a maker's mark, which tells you the origin of the jewelry.

But if your piece only has a maker's mark and not a true hallmark, it does not help determine the purity or value.

How To Spot a Hallmark on Jewelry

There are a few distinct hallmarks you may see on your jewelry.

The hallmark "10k" means it is ten karat gold or 41.6% gold and 58.4% alloy for gold. The hallmark "585" suggests 14 karat gold or 58.5% gold and 41.5% alloy. For your gold to be 100% gold, the hallmark would have to read "24k," meaning 24 karats.

Silver jewelry, "STER" or "925," means it is sterling silver or 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy. For platinum, "950PT" or "PLAT" means 95% platinum and 5% alloy. And for palladium, "950PD" means it is 95% palladium and 5% alloy.

A maker's mark will appear different from a hallmark and may look like a signature or a logo. But unfortunately, the United States doesn't require makers to register their marks, so tracing back its origins may prove difficult.

And if you're having trouble seeing these markings, try cleaning your jewelry to get a better look.

How To Sell Your Jewelry

Once you've identified the hallmark, you will be able to get the most accurate price for your jewelry. To receive the most precise pricing, you want to go through a trusted company specializing in this service.

For example, American Gold & Diamond Buyers will purchase your vintage jewelry, engagement rings, diamonds, fine watches, or any piece made from gold, platinum, or silver.

Go Look For a Jewelry Hallmark

Now that you know how to search for a hallmark, you'll find it in no time. And on the off chance your piece doesn't have a hallmark, don't sweat it.

You can still take it to American Gold & Diamond buyers to get a quote.

Don't let your valuable piece of jewelry sit in a drawer for one more second. Click here to get a custom offer on your jewelry today!

When deciding to make an investment in a new roof, choosing the appropriate material is essential. For homeowners that decide to go with metal roofing, it is important to hire a reputable company that aligns with each of your goals. As the homeowner, you must make sure to review past customer experiences, do cost comparisons and gain an understanding of company planning procedures prior to signing a contract.

Before hiring a contractor to work on home services, it is helpful that you familiarize yourself with the contractor’s history of work. One way to do this is by requesting past customer reviews. By obtaining client referrals, it is more likely that you will have an easier time determining what contractor is right for the job. Client referrals for metal roofing contractors may also provide greater insight into price options.

Reputable businesses tend to have good processes in place for working with their customers. A contractor that has inconsistent processes or ones that do not align with industry standards, may be counterfeit. Keep an eye out for a contractor gives an extremely low quote when compared to other businesses, as this may be a sign of a fake company.

Additionally, good contractors will likely be able to communicate specific installation plans, whether that is how ventilation procedures will run or how each material type will be used. Before hiring a metal roofing contractor make sure they can answer questions like this: What are the pricing options? What type of warranties are offered and what do they cost? How is the contract prepared? Who is responsible for any damages?

By asking questions and taking control of the process, you will have a better chance of hiring a reputable contractor to do a successful installation. It is important to take the time to gain information about multiple contractors in order to determine which one fits best with customer needs.

Ask A Scientist About Dinosaurs and headshot of Mark Norell
Ask A Scientist About Dinosaurs and headshot of Mark Norell

Mark Norell answers kids' questions about dinosaurs. He’s a paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History.

1. What's the biggest dinosaur you've ever found?

Mark Norell: The biggest fossil dinosaurs I've ever found are sauropods from Central Asia as well as from the American West. These animals are related to the Apatosaurus and Mamenchisaurus. Mamenchisaurus is a giant sauropod from Central Asia. These plant-eating animals had fantastically huge, long necks and were the heaviest and longest dinosaurs ever found. Sauropods were the biggest animals ever to walk Earth .

The Apatosaurus specimen from the Museum's Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs.

2. What's the weirdest dinosaur you've ever found?

A recreation of the Shuvuuia in a Museum exhibition.

Mark: The weirdest fossil dinosaur I've ever found had to be Shuvuuia, a relative of Mononykus. It's weird because no one would ever have imagined an animal that looked like that would have ever lived. It had really powerful, but extremely short forelimbs. These theropod dinosaurs had bodies about the size of a goose, but with long legs. Shuvuuia and Mononykus were both discovered in Mongolia , and had feathers. They were both birds, but they really didn't look like them.

3. What's the most interesting dinosaur fossil you've ever found?

Mark: Probably the most interesting dinosaur fossil I ever found is the nesting Oviraptor. This fossil really tells us something special about the past: that these animals looked and behaved like birds. The specimen found where the adult Oviraptor is positioned on a nest of eggs is compelling evidence that these animals behaved like parents in a very bird-like way. This behavior, coupled with such birdlike characteristics as a toothless beak and possibly feathers, strengthens the bird-dinosaur connections even more.

Mark Norell points to the specimen of a nesting Oviraptor in his office.

4. How long does it take for bones to become fossilized?

Mark: Not all fossil bones are alike. Some fossil bones that are 60 or 70 million years old have a lot of their original chemical composition. They almost seem more like bone than rock. Other fossil bones could be "just" 10,000 years old, but they're so hard you could drive nails with them. How long it takes depends on the conditions the bone is buried in. Here's a tip. When you find a fossil bone, you already know something about the animal. You know it must have been buried very quickly. Why? Bones left exposed for long would decay. After an animal is buried, the specific conditions of the local environment come into play.

Luckily, this fossil of an ankylosaur that Mark and Mike Novacek found in the Gobi Desert made it through the fossilization process and survived in one piece.

5. Where are some of the best places in the world to collect dinosaur fossils?

Mark: So far, there are really only four great places in the world to collect dinosaur fossils.

  1. The American West (much of the collection we have at the Museum was collected from Montana).
  2. Patagonia in Argentina (this area is now being explored by paleontologists, including some from my Museum).
  3. Africa, at the edge of the Sahara desert.
  4. Mongolia in Central Asia.

6. What do the great dinosaur fossil locations in the world have in common?

The badlands of Argentina are a popular spot for collecting dinosaur fossils.

Mark: First, they are in the middle of very stable continents. A stable continent is one without a lot of earthquakes , volcanic eruptions, or other major geological events that would destroy the fossils. Second, they have the kinds of landforms that preserve fossils well, such as badlands. In badlands, the forces of erosion, such as wind and water , have exposed layers of rock that contain fossils.

7. Do you think there are more kinds of extinct dinosaurs that have never been found?

Mark: Yes! Every few weeks somebody describes a new one. We just described one. When an unknown dinosaur is found we write a detailed report on what we have discovered. This report is know as a 'description.' Paleontologists usually name the dinosaur in their description. Certainly on our next field trip we'll find a new one. There are many more dinosaurs waiting to be found than have been found. A lot of these have been collected and are in museum collections. They just haven't been studied yet.

8. Why did dinosaurs become extinct?

Mark: All dinosaurs didn't become extinct because modern birds are, in fact, dinosaurs. There are scientists in our Ornithology Department who are investigating the 15,000 species of birds alive today. That's 15,000 different kinds of living dinosaurs! So get some binoculars and go dinosaur watching. Now, let's talk about why the non-bird dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago. The answer is: we don't know. That question is unanswerable based on the fossil record. I have no doubt a big meteorite hit Earth about 65 million years ago, but it's very hard to directly connect this event to the great dinosaur extinction.

This illustration, by Museum illustrator Ed Heck, shows what it might have looked like if an meteorite hit Earth during the age of dinosaurs.

9. How did paleontologists discover that modern birds are actually dinosaurs?

Just as humans are both primates and mammals because we descended from the first primate and the first mammal, birds are both theropods and dinosaurs because they descended from the first theropod and the first dinosaur.

Mark: Like most discoveries in science, it wasn't a sudden realization like a light bulb going on but the gradual gathering of evidence and observations. So, the idea that modern birds are related to dinosaurs is pretty old. In the 1850s, scientists who examined skeletons noticed a great degree of similarity between birds and traditional dinosaurs. Then this idea lost favor until the 1960s when we had better methods for analyzing the evidence and creating a family tree. Since the 1960s, many pieces of evidence that have been discovered support the idea that birds are descendants of certain dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago.

10. Why do you think that all the birds came from a common ancestor?

Mark: Think of it this way. Or draw it. If every animal that has feathers has a backbone but all animals with a backbone don't have feathers – what we're are saying is that both feathered and non-feathered animals come from a common ancestor with a backbone. The simplest explanation is usually the right one. Why? Think about it. Is it likely that feathers evolved 15,000 different times in each kind of bird species? Feathers evolved once, and all feathered creatures descended from that first feathered animal, changing other characteristics in response to its environment.

This feathered model from a Museum exhibition shows how an oviraptorid dinosaur may have looked when it was alive.

11. Is it possible to clone an extinct dinosaur?

Some science fiction proposes cloning dinosaurs from the traces of their blood found inside the bodies of biting insects fossilized in amber. This amber specimen has a spider trapped inside.

Mark:  Cloning is a complicated issue. Here's as simple an answer as I can give. To clone an animal, you need the complete genetic code, the blueprint of how the animal is constructed. The genetic code is huge and complex. It consists of long strands of DNA which generally don't survive the fossilization process. Even if we did have the genetic code for extinct dinosaurs, the technical aspects of creating an embryo and growing it are virtually impossible.

Hidden Cave, Nevada, 1978-79

During the 1978 and 1979 field seasons, David Hurst Thomas and a stalwart crew excavated the Nevada cave occupied in the late Archaic period -- from about 2000 BC to AD 0. The team discovered that the relatively inhospitable cave was used for temporary storing food, tools and other materials.

Excavations at Hidden Cave

Archaeologists have excavated parts of Hidden Cave since the 1920s and have found literally thousands of artifacts, evidence of food, and dozens of coprolites (desiccated human feces). These latter data showed that Archaic people were eating pinion nuts, bulrush seeds and fish. These data and evidence of different kinds of pollen found in the cave indicate that it was used during all seasons of the year.

Map of Hidden Cave

Hidden Cave presides over central Nevada's now-arid Carson Desert. Gouged out about 21,000 years ago by the waves of rising Pleistocene Lake Lahontan, Hidden Cave is sealed beneath the cemented surface gravels of the Stillwater Range. The cavern floor was alternatively flooded and exposed until shortly after 10,000 B.C. During relatively brief intervals since then, American Indians crawled into Hidden Cave, leaving behind a well-stratified, well-preserved record of their presence. Natural and cultural deposits continued to accumulate inside until the cave entrance was virtually sealed off by a debris cone. Hidden Cave was rediscovered in the 1920s, and teams of archaeologists excavated there in the 1940s, 1950s, and late 1970s.

The dust and darkness inside Hidden Cave created abysmal working conditions for Archaic people and archaeologists alike. Because nobody could actually have lived inside the cave, it seems clear that the rich artifact assemblage buried inside must have been deliberately stored away, carefully cached for the future rather than discarded as garbage. Hidden Cave provides important, if unusual clues about Desert Archaic lifeways.

HIDDEN CAVE (Fallon, NV); 12 mi (19 km) is today part of the Grimes Point Archaeological Area. The Churchill County Museum and the Bureau of Land Management co-sponsored guided expeditions inside Hidden Cave. By the way, nobody has to crawl their way inside anymore. Thanks to foresighted Bureau of Land Management engineers, you barely have to bend over to get inside. Visitors can also take a self-guided hike along a petroglyph trail outside Hidden Cave.
