Celebrating Our New Book!
The Continuity team celebrated publication of Deconstructing Conflict with a gala reception for friends, family, clients and professional colleagues on Tuesday evening, August 30, at the Harvard Club in downtown Boston.
A New Book Unpacks the Drivers of Conflict in Family Business and Why Managing That Conflict is the Most Critical Factor for Success
Authors Doug Baumoel and Blair Trippe Offer a Cutting-Edge Tool for Keeping Conflict from Damaging Both the Family and its Enterprise
(August 30, 2016 – Boston, Mass.) A new book by two of the leading innovators in conflict management for family businesses unpacks the complex dynamics involved with families who share ownership, wealth and power together – and provides a cutting-edge tool for understanding the kind of conflict that is unique to enterprising families so that family stakeholders and their trusted advisors can achieve generational success.
The book, Deconstructing Conflict: Understanding Family Business, Shared Wealth and Power, draws upon nearly fifteen years of experience in which the authors, Doug Baumoel and Blair Trippe, have helped scores of enterprising families and their companies – from a few million dollars in revenue to a net worth of several billion – navigate the challenges of shared management, ownership and economic interests.
Deconstructing Conflict addresses a core issue for a leading sector of the global economy that comprises one-third of the firms on the S&P 500 and where in the U.S. alone, sixty percent of GNP is derived and over 90% of all new jobs are created. With a perspective garnered from a breadth of business contexts, Baumoel and Trippe concluded that the most critical success factor for stakeholders in family enterprise is their ability to manage the inherent conflicts of sharing power and wealth. They developed a unique and powerful approach to improving the understanding of this type of conflict and a methodology for managing it, known as "The Conflict Equation."
In the book, Baumoel and Trippe outline five foundational concepts to help readers deconstruct conflict into its component parts. They provide an in-depth look into the reasons that underlie all conflict, what triggers active conflict, and why the potential for conflict in family business systems is so high. Deconstructing Conflict guides family members and their advisors in more effectively managing outright conflict, preventing unintended conflict, and getting unstuck when they are paralyzed by fear of conflict.
"When families go to war over business, wealth or power, or when family issues overwhelm sound economic decision-making, everyone loses," explains Doug Baumoel. "From our perspective of having worked with family firm leaders and other stakeholders, family councils and boards as well as a host of trusted advisors who serve them, we have realized that the conflict inherent in family businesses is poorly understood – and that how it is managed can be the difference between success and failure."
"The learning that we have acquired has guided the development of an antidote to the systemic, often extreme and intractable conflict that plagues many family members in business together," adds Blair Trippe. "The conflict that is built into the organizational structures of a family enterprise is identity-based and comes out of strongly held, self-defining values, beliefs and roles. As a result, families find themselves getting stuck in a myriad of ways. It becomes difficult to move forward in a unique human system where stakeholders cannot just compromise and walk away but must maintain healthy relationships because they are critical to their shared business success and wealth."
A Robust Tool and Methodology for the Breadth of Family Enterprise
Since economic, emotional and relationship issues are locked together in family enterprise, conflict must be addressed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. It does not typically respond to the dispute resolution approaches that are often applied in similar situations involving unrelated parties. In addition, family therapy and psychology alone cannot provide adequate solutions to these complex and intense situations.
While "The Conflict Equation" that Baumoel and Trippe have developed is derived from their work with family businesses and enterprising families of significant size and complexity, the methods presented in Deconstructing Conflict are equally applicable to smaller businesses and can work in the boardroom as easily as around the dining room table. Baumoel and Trippe designed "The Conflict Equation" from a perspective that family business conflict has more in common with ethnic, political and religious conflict than it does with the kind of non-family, civil disputes that dominate the daily headlines.
The authors contend that, viewed through this lens, studying conflict in a family enterprise is the perfect crucible for a better understanding of the many global conflicts that seem intractable; conversely, looking at how political and ethnic conflict on the world stage is managed can improve the approaches to the human system within enterprising families. Along with various illustrations and citations, Deconstructing Conflict includes a Foreward by Tim Phillips, CEO and Co-Founder of Beyond Conflict, a firm that engages with global leaders and communities on achieving progress in peace talks, transitions to democracy, and national reconciliations.
Deconstructing Conflict is available directly at the authors' web site, DeconstructConflict.com. The book is also available in print and E-book format at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble online, and the Harvard Book Store online.

La Madelène is located between the villages of Malaucène and Entrechaux, 5 minutes by car from either. We are 10 minutes to the south of the ancient Roman town of Vaison-La-Romaine; 30 minutes from the major towns of Orange and Carpentras; and 45 minutes from the beautiful city of Avignon with it`s Papal palace, pont Saint- Benezet, and quality shopping.
The property is situated in the foothills of Mont Ventoux at an elevation of c. 350m which helps temper the fierce Provencal summer heat. Just to the west are the beautiful Dentelles de Montmirail – these stunning limestone crags lead on to the escarpment that embraces some of the southern Rhone Valleys finest Cru and Villages level wines and the most attractive of villages including Gigondas, Beaumes de Venise and Vacqueras.
For more details on how to get to us see Getting Here.
Our area – a general appreciation
The Real Provence
Its true that if you want a decent cocktail somewhere like the Hotel de Paris, Monaco might be your best bet; and if you`re in the market for a €6m house (who isn't) then as I write Peter Mayle`s place in the Luberon has just come on the market. But if you`re looking for the "vrai" Provencal experience rather than the glitz, then our "coin" – the Vaucluse – delivers in spades. To locate you, we are the most northerly part of Provence, with Mont Ventoux and the city of Avignon our most famous landmarks.
The mountain, known to the French as the "the giant" dominates the landscape, at 1900m it towers above the plain and appears to be snow capped in all seasons though in reality the summit is made up of a white limestone shingle that just looks like snow from down below. For the cyclist the ascent has iconic meaning – it's the zenith of many cyclists riding ambitions every one of whom follows in the footsteps of the Tour de France greats – Eddie Merckx, Contador , Chris Froome.We are constantly surprised how guests with only moderate fitness levels are inspired to conquer the 21kms route. For Brits there is the added poignancy of the Tom Simpson memorial – Tom was England's only serious Tour de France contender, he died of a heart attack on the mountain in the 1967 race. There is a bizarre – but moving nonetheless – tradition of "leaving something for Tom", an empty energizer can for example, so that at the end of the season the memorial resembles a giant recycling plant.
On days when the mountain feels like too much hard work cyclists and walkers should head for the Dentelles de Montmirail, my favourite landscape of them all, around 20 miles of craggy limestone peaks rising majestically from hills at around 500m. This is truly stunning terrain – I once got held up for nearly an hour behind five brand new Ferraris on a photo shoot – its that sort of "film set" country with its terraced vineyards, olive and fruit trees and dramatic cliffs. In the centre is the Abbaye Sainte Madeleine de Barroux, a working Benedictine monastery where the curious can drop in 6 times a day, from 3.00 am! to listen to the monks`s service with it`s Gregorian chants. Not far away is a shop where they produce and sell the most delicious olive and walnut bread and press their own brand of olive oil. The monks are of all of ages from around 18 to 70 – every now and again they are released to "randonneé" around our village of Malaucène. With a backpack each, loaded with baguette and picnic, you have never seen such a cheerful bunch as they profit from their release for the day.
For the dedicated foodie this is paradise indeed. The great Provencal markets of Carpentras, Vaison la Romain, Nyons and Sorgue present a visual and sensory feast – locally produced fare is what they are all about and our catering schedule at La Madelene is strictly tied to their seasonal calendar. starting with the Asparagus season in the first days of spring and progressing through strawberries ( the famous Carpentras variety), cherries, Cavaillon melons, spring lamb from Sault, and onto winter pumpkins, truffles, ceps and girasol mushrooms and those fat juicy pomegranates we use to stuff guinea fowl. Restaurants are no less enticing. The mountain attracts serious hunting sport from local farmers and much of the produce ends up on the tables of our favourite places. One such is Entrechaux`s St.Hubert, a restaurant that has been in the same family – the Mourets – since the 1920`s. The family are delightful – in the Second World War they ran the local resistance from the restaurant here. Game and seafood is the house speciality. As I write the menu "formule" at just €38, a 4 course extravaganza plus amuse bouche, features their legendary "Civet de Sanglier" (wild bore casserole). This is genuine trencherman stuff – served in a gigantic copper saucepan at a side table. When you`ve fought your way through the huge serving they help you to – and believe me this is super rich, thickened with the pig`s blood – there are two identical helpings left in the pot just in case you`re feeling peckish.
And to wash all this down with – why, in my view, the best wines in the world. The great American wine critic Robert Parker described Rhone wines as delivering "the best quality/value equation of any fine wine region in the world" He isn't wrong. Their reputation is based on robust spicy Grenache based reds and peppery violet scented Syrahs but there are also the summer fruit laden Tavel rosés, the fragrant viogniers and the almond and stone fruit white Chateauneufs that rarely travel outside the region. The latter village is a must see destination for the visitor: The centre of an often Mistral wind-swept, undulating plateau next to the Rhone the 300 + vignerons here fashion sublime, hedonistic wines – for sipping and contemplation rather than quaffing. The Chateauneuf brand is justifiably famous worldwide but the village itself is anything but affected – it's an agricultural village where you are more likely to see tractors and trailers than tourist buses. They are however not without a quirky side: In 1954 they passed a law refusing to allow flying saucers ("cigares volontes"), a topical global concern, to land and disturb the vineyards. Apparently the law is still in place! All part of the Provencal charm…

I unloaded a kiln yesterday with some samples for new work. Below are the "MAGNOLIA HI' pots, with a pinkish brush stroke. These are part of a spring series and happened becuase of the magnificent magnolia trees I see from my garden~
I am also experimenting with some blue glazes for summer. Below are some swimming pool plates. I used oribe to get this very glassy surface. The textured colours underneath give a sense of movement or interruption in the water like a dive or so.... Kind of reminds me of David Hockney's 'A Bigger Splash' (below). California style!
I have a longstanding love of swimming pools!

Research Interests
Dr. Meredith's group researches the surfaces and interfaces of advanced materials. Their work aims to apply fundamentals of polymer, surface and colloid science to find new ways to engineer materials useful to society and industry. In particular, projects emphasize the utilization of renewable components, sustainable processing, and bioinspired designs in adhesives, composites, foams and coatings, among others. He works closely with the Georgia Tech Renewable Bioproducts Institute.
There are three primary thrust areas: 1) utilization of renewably-sourced materials (such as cellulose and chitin nanofibers) in high-strength nanocomposites, coatings and barrier materials; 2) design and development of more sustainable surfactant-free foaming processes that can be applied in oil recovery, oil spill cleanup and chemical separations (in collaboration with Sven Behrens, ChBE) and 3) discovery of the principles of adhesion and wetting used by natural particles like pollen and fungal spores, and their application in adhesives, composites and sensors.
Dr. Meredith is the J. Carl Pirkle Sr. Faculty Fellow and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies.
Biomimicry of natural adhesive designs found in pollen, fungi, and diatoms, in order to develop advanced adhesives and composites.

Hello there!
My name is Eleanor, my friends and family call me Ellie! I want to share my story with you so that you feel confident and comfortable when utilizing my services. I make every effort to ensure that every client is happy and therefore I want to give you a bit of background on who I am.
What makes me qualified to help you?
I have been practicing massage since 2007 and I am enjoying it every moment! I studied at Lincoln Technical Institute with a special focus on the Therapeutic Massage. I obtained my licenses through the Department of State Board of Massage Therapy of Pennsylvania along the way. I am also a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), Fort Washington BNI, Society for Oncology Massage (S4OM) and National Association Professional Women (NAPW) and Women Referral Network (WRN). As you can see I love to network.
I have continued my education every step of the way and study under Dr. Ben Benjamin, PHDD, who specializes in common injuries. All of this has prepared me for the type of massage that helps with injuries or that helps to release built up tension and stress from the body. I have had the privilege to work at three well known spas in Philadelphia and a well established chiropractic office in the Ambler area before I started my full time private practice.
Types of Massage therapies I offer are:
I operate my own successful private massage therapy office located in Blue Bell PA. I have helped clients with injuries and health conditions including but not limited to:
I know what it takes to help clients with these types of ailments and many more. Though my own experience and the concepts in the Benjamin System of Muscular Therapy, I provide a solution that works best for each individual person . I work to develop a treatment plan that helps my clients and ensures that they lead a happier, healthier, more comfortable life!
How did I get to this point?
I worked in the Hotel Hospitality Industry for 7 years prior to becoming a massage therapist. Work burnout hit me like a ton of bricks after my second son was born. With a growing family and interests further beyond what I was doing, recreating my life was unavoidable. Hence, I realigned my life's purpose to a career that allowed me to nurture and support people who are stressed, in pain, pregnant or just want to relax. I wanted to give back, I wanted to do something that would benefit others. I found that my life purpose was in line with this and that the art of massage allows me to do all of these things!
Because I have been through it myself….I have given birth 3 times (2 boys & 1 girl) so, I know the joys and pains of the long and hard journey to motherhood. I had prenatal massages as a part of my health care regimen prior to becoming a massage therapist as well as during my massage career. Nurturing touch has helped me through the not so good days of pregnancy. Massage helps me to manage my good stressors, bad stressors and keeps me healthy so I can perform physically for longer periods of time.
I bring experience, compassion, humor, and active listening to each session. My intention is to help my clients feel better, manage their pain and stress so that they may enjoy their quality of life.
Where I'm from
I was born and raised on the tropical Caribbean Island; The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago also nicknamed "La Trinity". You may even hear my Caribbean dialect when I am thrilled or enjoying a good laugh. I'm proud of my heritage so much that one of my pastimes is eating traditional Trini foods with my relatives while teaching my children about my culture and where they truly come from. I also love going to church on Saturdays, reading my nook, watching movies, gardening and baking…….oh yeah and I am an internet junkie.
I appreciate you taking the time to get to know who I am and what I'm all about. I will provide you with everything you need to enjoy the massage experience and benefit your life. I am here to help and I look forward to getting to know you and learning about your journey.
Please call for an appointment today. I can help you to achieve a healthy and comfortable life!
Yours in Health,
Licensed Massage Therapist

Remember that project that I wanted to start with a chest box that I bought? Well, it is almost finished, but I could not wait to share some pictures of it and to talk about what the project entailed.
I wanted to do a vampire hunter kit to display in Kassandra's shop. I had seen some of these kits for sale, but the ones that I liked were really out of my budget. So, I decided to try and make my own.
So I bought this box:
I had seen some kits that were made into a suitcase or a trunk, and they were absolutely gorgeous. But I though "If someone is running or galloping after a vampire he or she needs something portable that could be carried without too much effort, like a small box". So I chose this box that was, maybe, the size of a jewelry box or small chest.
The first thing I did was strip the box of everything it had inside:
Then, I took red "suede" paper like the one it had, took measurements and cut some pieces to redo the inside:
And then, I started making everything a vampire hunter may need. First, a bible. I made it by cutting small pieces of wood for the pages, and covering them with a nice vintage-looking paper cover. I also painted the wood with golden paint, to imitate gilded pages:
Then I purchased some crosses and a silver dagger, and attached everything to the lid of the box with suede paper strips:
I knew I needed a very small glass bottle for the "Holy Water" - my usual apothecary glass bottles would not do. I had the opportunity of buying a very cute bottle at one of Tom Bishop's shows:
After that came a long hiatus of work and the move to the new home, so I was too busy with life things. Today I retook the vampire hunter project after finally knowing how I wanted to continue. I cut a couple of pieces of plywood to redo the box compartments:
Then I covered the pieces with the red suede paper:
Next, stakes! I took decorated toothpics, cut them to fit the box and filed the end to a point with the help of a blade. Then I used regular acrylic ink to paint them:
Next step, parchments rolls. I simply took my parchment paper, cut a couple of strips, rolled them and tied them with black cord:
And finally! My cute glass bottle! I made a label saying "Holy Water", printed it on the parchment paper and attached it to the bottle. And this is how the box looks now:
I still need to do a mallet and a garlic from polymer clay. But I probably need to buy some new blocks for that - mine were rather unworkable. I am so happy how well turned out!
I will post more pics when I do the mallet and the garlic. I hope you enjoy this post. I certainly did, both doing the project and writing about it!
UPDATE: This is awesome! You want your own life-sized, portable vampire hunting kit? Check these out! Oh, one day one of these will be mine...

I saw these two images online today. I laughed at first one, which I'll refer to as "Harlem," and I was offended by the second one, which I'll refer to as "Detroit."
According to Mary Douglas (1991), a joke expresses something a community is ready to hear; an insult expresses something it doesn't want to consider. The current Harlem Shake meme is not at all related to the original, and Harlemites are furious over the comparison. This aggravation may be warranted, and the image (as captioned) appears to encapsulate that frustration.
Alternatively, the 2nd image, "Detroit," plays on existing stereotypes of Detroit as a dangerous place, dominated by angry Black men that will attack you if you step foot in the city. This caption only rehashes traditional racist ideology without any awareness or humor regarding current issues.
I've also been chatting with the director of the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative, who is seeking to use agriculture as a platform to promote education, community, and sustainability, and reduce socioeconomic disparity. Initiatives like this one are essential to changing how people, both within and outside Detroit, perceive Detroit and its inhabitants.

Think before you EAT
What you are about to eat….Is it pure, from God or is it processed? Is it going to benefit your body? Will it nourish your body? Make every calorie count!
What is your attitude at this moment? Are you bored, tired, stressed? Are you really hungry or eating because of your attitude?
Is it time to eat? How long has it been since your last mini-meal? If 2-3 hours then go ahead and eat otherwise wait. Do not go longer than 4-5 hours without eating. Doing so will slow down your metabolism and your body will want to store your next meal as fat.

Jody's Top 10 Ways to Kick the Sugar Habit
10. READ your LABELS....Stop buying foods with Sugar in the ingredients. Look for honey, stevia or maple syrup instead (less processed).
9. Eat 5-6 mini meals a day or every 3-4 hours.
8. Each meal should have: complex carbs (whole fruit or veggies, grains), protein (lean meats, eggs, dairy) and healthy fats (nuts, coconut oil, olive oil).
7. Switch to a sugar free protein powder like Sun Warrior or Vega.
6. Do not use artificial sweeteners! NO splenda, equal, sweet n low, etc.
5. Eat within your portion sizes so you are satisfied, never stuffed and not still hungry. If you are satisfied after every meal you will not be hungry and those cravings will stop.
4. Drink iced green tea with lemon and a little honey or liquid stevia to help if you are craving something sweet. BUT make your own iced tea, don't purchase those bottled ones in the store, they are loaded with sugar!
3. Craving sweets?? try flavored coffee of tea as an after dinner treat. There are some really yummy favors out there for fall and all sugar free!
2. Freeze some fruit, great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without the white stuff. My favorite, frozen red grapes! Puree some frozen banana chunks into a creamy nondairy treat, just like ice cream!
1. Go for a run! Walk around the neighborhood, enjoy the fall season, get outdoors. Exercise helps release endorphins "feel good" and you will have a more positive attitude about giving up sugar !
Cut the Crap!
I follow the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno, where you eat whole foods, nothing white, NO SUGER, and and only very minimally processed foods, if any.
I came upon this plan about 5 years ago when I was doing Weight Watchers. I had about 10 lbs to lose and knew I needed to get that 10 off before it turned into 20 lbs!
I started out on the WW Points system. I had always eaten pretty healthy with the occasional sweets but once I started the Points program I got caught up in the low points foods and started stocking up on all those 100 calorie packs, zero points soups and other processed foods! I felt terrible and had zero energy because I was eating crap! Yes I was losing weight but feeling awful ! So I switched to the Core Program where you don't follow points but eat only clean whole foods: fruits and veggies, 1 carb a day plus protein. I was feeling much better, only eating when I was hungry and finally feeling satisfied!
It was at that time that I decided to find some more healthy whole food cookbooks. I was at Target looking for some new recipes when found the Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno. It has changed my life. I haven't looked back, continue to eat clean 90% of the time with the occasional "treat" YES I said treat and not cheat because we deserve a treat now and then!
How to keep your diet on track when you are away from home:
Be Prepared! Always have easy to grab snack packs on hand like protein bars, nuts, fruit, veggies. Prepackage your nuts and veggies in serving sizes and place into ziploc bags or small jars to grab and go. I always have a few protein bars in my purse or a pouch of "HappySqueeze and HappyMorning" - Organic Superfruit and Supergrain Smoothies. You can find these in the baby food section of Target.
Stop for a healthy snack at Starbucks! Opt for the nonfat plain latte and oatmeal. Add only the nuts...not the fruit (too much sugar) and not the brown sugar. OR grab a protein plate, salad, or Bistro Box and green iced tea, unsweetened.
Traveling?? pack your own Oatmeal! measure the amount in a baggie and just add hot water! fresh fruit is usually available at the airport cafes and pack some nuts. Order grilled chicken salad without the salad dressing, cheese, sugared nuts, croutons...they add too many calories. Instead bring your own salad dressing or ask for oil and vinegar, fresh citrus fruits to squeeze the juice on the salad instead of a 300 calorie salad dressing. You can even pack up some roasted nuts and seeds to toss on top for added crunch.
Trader Joe's has some handy snack packs of nuts and dried fruit already to grab. Their salads are great too, just check the calories or use half the dressing.
Don't forget your water bottle!! Keep your hydration up when you are away from home. I never leave home without my water bottle and I find I drink more when I am driving!
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
...The key to success is to have a game plan for every situation that might throw you off course. If you take the time to think ahead, you can come up with ways to overcome every obstacle.
Here are a couple of surefire strategies:
Go through your kitchen and throw out all the junk food and processed garbage immediately. (You can't eat it if it's not there!) Don't buy these foods anymore — just eliminate them from your kitchen entirely. If your spouse or the kids start whining, you can tell them I said they're better off not eating that stuff either. Reacquaint yourself with your local supermarket. Shop in the healthy sections and stock up on as many organic fruits and veggies as you can afford — and steer clear of the aisles that contain your trigger foods.
If food that's available in the workplace is your downfall, steer clear of it entirely. Take different routes to avoid the vending machines and the frighteningly fattening foods in the cafeteria. Bring healthy snacks and meals from home to stash in your desk. Do whatever you can to stay away from anything that might throw you off course and hamper your success.
Carry healthy snacks in your purse at all times. Pack: a Lara bar and apple, handful of nuts in a bag with dried cranberries, string cheese and fruit, rice cakes with nut butter. If you have to stop for a snack, make it a healthy one! Some good Fast Food choices: Starbucks for their oatmeal with nuts and dried fruit + tall non-fat latte, protein plate, breakfast sandwich. skip the muffins, scones, and yogurt parfait (too much sugar). Subway for a veggie and chicken sandwich on whole grain bread with oil and vinegar only (hold the may and cheese).
Carry your water bottle at all times and keep filling it up through out the day and night.
Drink a full glass of water before and another one with your meal.
Feeling hungry after your last mini meal and its not quite time to eat again? Drink a glass of ice water or cup of green tea to help hold you over and fill you up.
Always eat a mini meal with a protein, it keeps you feeling full longer, revs up your metabolism, and will tide you over for 2-3 hours until your next meal.
Consume healthy fats, essential fatty acids every day.
You should eat 2-3 servings of healthy fats each day. Gram for gram, about 18% of your diet should come from healthy fats from fish, nuts, seeds and healthy oils. Flaxseed and fish contain Omega-3 fats. Omega-6 fats can be found in sunflower, safflower, corn and soybean oils, black currant, borage and evening primrose oils, and meat and dairy products from grass-fed cows.
Examples of Healthy Fats:
Cold-water fish (salmon, halibut, trout)
Flaxseed (ground or flaxseed meal)
Hazelnut Oil
Nut butters
Olive oil
Pumpkinseed oil
sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Coconut oil
Portion of Protein:
You should be eating 6 servings of protein each day. A proper portion of meat or other protein is measured by what can fit in the palm of one hand.
Starchy Complex Carbs:
You should eat 2-4 servings of complex carbs from whole grains or other starchy-carb sources each day. A proper portion of complex carbs is measured by what can fit in one cupped hand.
Carbs from fruits and Veggies:
You should be eating 4-6 servings of fresh produce each day. A proper portion of complex carbs from fresh produce is measured by what can fit into two cupped hands.
Healthy Fats:
Gram for gram, about 18% of your diet should come from healthy fats from fish, nuts, seeds and healthy oils. Aim to include 2-3 servings of these foods in your diet each day to ensure you are getting enough healthy fats. A portion of healthy fat is one scant handful of nuts, or 1-2 Tbsp of healthy oil.
Wondering how to eat for peak performance?
My friend Stephanie from SB Nutrition has the answers!
Stephanie is a dietitian and works with a lot with athletes. I had the privilege of meeting her at the Boston Marathon.
"Nutrient timing — when nutrients are consumed to receive the most energy. We get energy from a typical meal over about a four-hour period. And that energy "peaks" about two hours after eating. Athletes reap the most energy when they time their fuel (food) consumption to correspond to this process.
Two hours before exercise is the ideal time to fuel the body. This helps "top off" the body's easily available energy (glycogen) that is stored in the liver and muscles. And the best foods to consume a couple hours before a race are easily digested "carbs" (sugars and starches) along with moderate amounts of protein and fat.
Yogurt with low-fat granola; peanut butter or lunch meat sandwich; oatmeal with banana and low-fat milk; grapes with nuts and string cheese.Liquid yogurt and sports drinks are also good options.
Then it's time to "pre-fuel." About 10 to 15 minutes before the start of a long event, eat or drink a small amount of carbohydrate (about 20 grams) to "top off" glycogen stores once again, something convenient and portable such as a banana or a sports drink like Gatorade Prime.
Now the race is on. During an endurance activity, the muscles and brain need to be fueled with 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates every hour. That is equivalent to about 100 to 250 calories of high carb food, such as a banana, ¼ cup dried fruit, three to six graham crackers, or a sports drink. Even jelly beans can provide needed carbs.
After exercise, it's important to "refuel" within 30 to 45 minutes. This is a key time when food nutrients can replenish energy stores, repair muscle damage and even help reduce muscle soreness. Optimal foods for this task are rich in carbohydrates and moderate in protein, such as chocolate milk (really!), instant breakfast drinks or fruit smoothies.
Too much fluid is now known to be as serious as too little. When you exercise, it's a good idea to take a couple gulps of fluid (1 or 2 oz.) every 20 to 30 minutes. And while plain water is still recommended for the first 60 minutes of exercise, after that it's best to alternate between plain water and sports beverages that contain electrolytes such as Gatorade or Powerade.
High carb diets are still 'in' for endurance athletes, along with moderate amounts of protein and fat."

Continuing here a discussion started on Twitter with Micah Bowers:
As a developer who contributed to several FLOSS projects, especially making my own code available under MIT/GPL/AGPL license, the signal that Readium Foundation sends by dual-licensing Readium SDK as AGPL and as "pay-to-use-it-in-closed-source-sw" is discouraging me from contributing code to the project. It does not surprise me that the code contributions mostly come from staff of the Readium Foundation or their members, while the issue tracker sees more external activity.
Let me explain. I am not really upset by the fact that the commercially-friendly license that allows the licensee to use the Readium SDK code in closed-source applications has a street price of 30,000 USD ("base contribution") and a mandatory 3,000 US annual fee, while I could have contributed some of said code for free. After all, nobody forces me to contribute.
My main concern is about the rationale behind asking a fee for a basic library which should be given out for free even for commercial purposes, without the constraints of the AGPL. For a big publisher or a software vendor or a VC-backed startup, 30,000 USD are peanuts. For a bootstrapped startup or an independent developer that price is simply impossible. (The alternative "contribute substantial code for a discount on the fee" may be equally unfeasible in those two cases.)
If the goal of the Readium Foundation/IDPF is to promote the use of the EPUB format, then this licensing scheme does not make any sense. I do not think that most of the members of the Readium Foundation will go bankrupt by directly funding the development team behind the Readium projects while releasing the code under MIT, Apache, or any similar license...
So, my questions are:
1. What is the rationale behind the dual licensing of Readium SDK?
2. Am I mistaken in believing that the end goal of the Readium projects should be promoting EPUB adoption? If I am wrong, then what is the goal of the Readium Foundation? Building the libraries for their own sake? Sharing the development cost among the current/potential implementers? Providing a reference implementation?
Thanks in advance

The controversial Houston Equal Rights Ordinance is now suspended. The Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday the city must either repeal it, or let voters decide on in November.
In a unanimous decision, 9 court justices found the City of Houston had a Charter requirement to act immediately on the recall petition once it was certified by City Secretary Anna Russell. The ruling said the City Charter allows Houston City Council no discretion to re-evaluate the worthiness of the petition.
The HERO ordinance aimed at protecting gay and transgender people from discrimination in employment and public places, became controversial because it also allowed transgender individuals to use either men's or women's bathrooms.
Houston pastors lead the petition drive. Their attorney, Andy Taylor says Friday's victory isn't about race, religion,or sexual orientation. It's about the right to vote.
"It doesn't matter what you and your conscience believe when you go into the ballot box," Taylor said. "It's about protecting the right to go to the ballot box."
Mayor Annise Parker says the court's decision is disappointing and that the city is weighing its options.
The Texas Supreme Court's ruling says Houston City Council mush repeal HERO by Aug. 24, or the ordinance will automatically be placed on the ballot for voters to decide.

Butterfield and Wells in line to be king for a year
Triathlete Tyler Butterfield and footballer Nahki Wells are expected to be among the favourites for the Male Athlete of the Year award at the 33rd Government Sports Awards tonight at The Fairmont Southampton, while swimmers Lisa Blackburn and Ashley Yearwood and track athlete Shianne Smith could vie for the female award.
Both Butterfield and Wells had outstanding performances in 2013 in their respective sports, with Butterfield starting the year by placing third in the Abu Dhabi Triathlon in March before following that up with a tenth-place finish in an Ironman event in Melbourne, Australia. He then ran to a maiden victory in the May 24 Half-Marathon Derby and, in October, placed seventh in the Hawaii Ironman World Championships.
Wells also had a spectacular year with his English club Bradford City, scoring 30 goals in the calendar year, including 15 in the second half of the season as his Sky Bet League Two side reached the Capital One Cup final where they lost to Swansea City, of the Barclays Premier League. Wells�s goals helped Bradford to secure promotion when, on a second trip to Wembley, they won the play-off final 3-0 against Northampton, with Wells becoming the first Bermudian to score a goal at the famous stadium.
Wells netted another 15 goals in the first half of the present campaign in League One and was subsequently sold to Huddersfield Town in the January transfer window for �1.3?million, making him the first Bermudian footballer to command a million-pound transfer fee.
Tyrone Smith is the reigning Male Athlete of the Year, having won the award for the past three years. Flora Duffy, last year�s women�s winner, has also won the title three times, including 2007 and 2008. Smith was third in a grand-prix meet in Tokyo and then in Austria before placing fourth in the Diamond League meet in Sweden. Last September, he won gold at the Amsterdam Flame Games in the Netherlands.
Duffy suffered with health issues in 2013, including a fractured foot during her triathlon season before coming back to place third in the Xterra World Championships in Hawaii last October.
The main contenders for the Female Athlete of the Year could include Blackburn, Yearwood and Smith. Blackburn won six medals, five of which were gold, at the Central American and Caribbean Amateur Conference Championships in Costa Rica and then followed up with four more individual medals at the Island Games held in Bermuda.
Yearwood was Bermuda�s most outstanding performer at the Island Games, bagging nine medals in total, including five individual and four in the relays. Included in her haul were four gold medals and a Games record in the 50?metres freestyle. Also having a successful Island Games was heptathlete Smith, who won three gold and a bronze medal in track and field events.
Swimmer Jesse Washington and middle-distance runner Kyrah Scraders were last year�s junior athletes of the year, and Scraders could be in contention again after some outstanding performances last year, including winning gold and silver medals at the Carifta Games in the Bahamas. She also set a Bermuda junior record in the 800?metres at the World Junior Championships in Ukraine.
Justin Donawa, who reached the final of the triple jump at the same meet, could be one of the contenders for the junior male award, one of ten categories in which athletes will be acknowledged, starting at 7pm.

The display industry, and the electronics device industry which it supplies, has established an efficient global supply chain that has generated increasingly powerful and beautiful products at ever-lower prices. This global supply approach, though, faces its greatest political challenge with the presidency of Donald Trump. The new president, during his election campaign and since the election, has repeatedly called for imposing a 35% import tariff on goods from Mexico, and as much as a 45% tariff on goods from China. Since 95% of TV imports into the US come from those two countries, such a move, if implemented, would profoundly disrupt the industry, Even before any additional tariffs are implemented, there are a few companies working to implement some US manufacturing.
America's biggest retailer Walmart has driven some of this push, as part of a general shift across all industries. Decades ago, Walmart contributed to the growth of China's assembly industry by shifting sourcing of electronics and other goods from US suppliers to China importers. In a case where I personally participated in hearings, Walmart was found guilty of importing dumped CRT TVs from Chinese suppliers in the waning days of the tube industry. As labor costs in China increased, though, and perhaps recognizing the shifting political landscape, Walmart started in 2013 to push for increased US manufacturing, saying it wants to spend $250 billion on US-made products by 2023.
Today Walmart sells one of the few electronics products assembled in the US, from Winnsboro, South Carolina-based Element Electronics. Element offers a line of TVs in sizes from 19" to 65", selling only at Walmart, and an important part of their value proposition is that the product is assembled in the USA.
During and after the CES show, I spoke with a former Philips colleague who now works for a contract manufacturer similar to Element. In fact, Lotus International, in Canton, MI, assembled Element TVs several years ago under contract, before Element set up their own facility in South Carolina. This discussion gave some insight on the economics of a decision to shift to US assembly.
My colleague indicated that other retailers are looking to add a US-based product to their portfolio, and a number of manufacturers who currently lack North American operations are likely to start contracting with Lotus this year. It's worth noting that these products don't claim to be "made" in the USA, instead they use the term "assembled". Only the final assembly occurs in the US, all the components are imported in "kits" which contain all the materials (display, boards, mechanical parts, even the packaging and user manuals) for the final product.
If everything is imported, why bother with assembly in the US? One reason is the import duty advantage. TVs imported from outside North America are subject to a 3.9% duty (Harmonized Tariff code 8528.72.64), and while TVs imported into the US from Mexico are duty-free under NAFTA, the Mexican government requires a higher value-added content than simple kit assembly to qualify as a Mexican-made TV. Of course, if NAFTA is renegotiated as promised by President Trump, all bets are off. TV "kits" consisting of all the parts of a TV but incomplete or unfinished (Harmonized Tariff code 8528.72.04) can be imported to the US duty free from any country under most-favored-nation rules.
A second reason for US assembly, according to Lotus, is savings on returns and damage. A ½% difference in return rate can more than pay for the labor cost of US assembly, and final inspection and testing on a US assembly line, coupled with shorter supply and shipping times, improves reliability.
Although an increase in US assembly is likely, a significant increase in US supply to the electronics industry is much less so. Even components like the mechanical structure of the TV set (bezel and back) benefit from the huge economies of scale of the global industry. Although there are certainly capable suppliers in the US to produce these plastic parts, the tooling costs for large extruded components make it economical to have a single global source unless volumes reach into the hundreds of thousands, which would apply only to the top 2-3 brands in the US, all of whom currently have operations in Mexico.

Bob, see my other blog article issued today just below this one. Short answer: no, I don't believe it, but it makes sense for Foxconn to at least start some discussions about this. If the most severe tariff ideas were put into place, Foxconn would need to react.

Apparently Element is a bit controversial as well. Initial claims of misrepresentation: http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/27651-walmart-says-its-element-tvs-are-assembled-in-usa-but-they-aren-t and FTC resolution https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/closing_letters/made-usa/150507elementelectronicsletter.pdf
Bob OBrien
1/24/2017 03:55:20 pm
Yes, Tim, it's easy to consider that these are not "made in the USA" but "made in China". At least as I understand the tariff laws, though, they are making a "substantial transformation" in the US by importing something under HTS code 8528.72.04 and selling something that is characterized as HTS code 8528.72.64. It's also my understanding that that's why they use the term "assembled" instead of "made". The plaintiffs against WM would have a stronger argument if there were other manufacturers with higher US value-added TVs, but up until today there are not, to my knowledge.

Country bathroom vanities
The bathroom in country style shan't be located in the rural house at all. Also the city dweller wishing to surround himself with a cozy and comfortable situation is able to afford similar stylistics. The high content of a tree and textiles in design is characteristic of such style. Besides the color gamma can be different: both light (in this case), and dark, also the combination of contrasting elements is possible. Special attention in case of such design of a bathroom needs to be paid to accessories and fine details of an interior.
Today rural style (rural or style of a country) is in an interior at peak of the popularity, whether it be a drawing room, kitchen or a bathroom. To issue a bathroom in rural style, decorative elements of neutral tones will be necessary: color gamut, ivory, wheat and color of a tree.
Terracotta ceramics, willow, straw, bamboo. Bathing country in style always warm and friendly.

And though the modern and minimalist furniture is more actual, the decorative mode stakes also on rural style which, saving a charm and beauty of other eras, combines, also, and all modern conveniences.
He survived, thanks to that beauty and charm which he scooped from the rural environment, from fields. In it there is all palette of the nature, a harvest, trees and flowers.
Natural stone, wood, mosaic, wrought iron, porcelain, straw, willow – here some of the materials used by style of a country.

Style of a country in a bathroom
- Wooden (pine, ashen, akatsiyevy) furniture for a bathroom if it ancient and slightly lacquered, and is better if the new furniture imitates old. The furniture of this style uses all charm "already used or old". Wooden furniture with weaving, baskets from willow rods, a bamboo.
- Wooden beams under a ceiling.
- Color of a tree, ochre, brown, беж, ivory, yellow, terracotta, coral, green. In a country and bathroom the palette consists of flowers of the nature.
- Walls with finishing from a stone, wooden facing, as ornament – rural painting.

Trough in style of a country
- If the place allows, it is possible to deliver the trough trimmed in rural style, or even old. If you prefer a shower, there are options of country style and for it.
- Furniture for a bathroom from a bamboo, a willow or wattled. Baskets from willow rods. Wooden beams under a ceiling. On walls a natural stone in combination with the patterns figuring rural landscapes and drawn in wheaten, salmon or beige tones. Also on walls wooden facing is used.
Those inhabitants of city apartments which read style of a country unacceptable for design of the apartments are mistaken. It is not only very cozy, but also incredibly comfortable psychologically, and all who live in rhythms of the big city lack this psychological comfort disastrously. Attempt to issue a bathroom in style of a country can also become a peculiar experimental testing – based on its results it will be already possible to draw more accurate conclusions concerning whether it is worth "communicating" with this direction generally.
In this article the concept of a bathroom in style of a country is explained in details:
– color and motives of design of location;
– bathroom equipment choice;
– the furniture and accessories responding to spirit of style of a country;
– textiles role.
Color and motives of design of a bathroom in style of a country bathroom vanity
The translation of the English word country can sound on a miscellaneous: it has two values – "villages" and "country". If to speak about interior style, then it is necessary to be repelled at the same time and from the first concept, and from the second. The matter is that rural life and rural life becomes the main subject of style of a country, but also the binding to a certain country, to its cultural and national traditions is of great importance. Popular Provence style in a bathroom – too variety of a country in which color of the old French village is beaten. At British, Germans, Russians or residents of the Scandinavian countries views of this stylistic direction can significantly differ: all these people have ideas of rural life different.
Style of a country differs in limit simplicity, and it is easy to note it even on color gamma which designers traditionally offer in such cases. Or rather, on two main color gamma. The first exploits soft and gentle pastel tone – from cream and pink to magenta and lavender. Warm wood shades set the tone in the second.
French country bathroom vanity.
Finishing materials for a bathroom in style of a country As the country – conditionally rural style, encourages finishing from materials of a natural origin, and the explicit priority is given to a tree. Perhaps, any more wooden floors in a bathroom, as are so not pertinent in case of design of this location according to rules of style of a country anywhere. On walls the covering lining, but not expensive wall-paper or democratic plastic panels will organically look.
The ceramic tile – the truth also will be suitable for finishing of a floor and a ceiling in a bathroom, she shall "move" absolutely in other foreshortening, than, for example, in case of experiments with the Greek style. The country doesn't suffer excess gloss and a luster, but it is loyal to so-called artificial "sostarivaniye", various attritions, picturesque and juicy cracks and chips. From this point of view the terracotta finishing tile is much more preferable glossy and glazed.
Bathroom equipment for a bathroom in style of a country
Canons of style of the country adapted to a bathroom require that configurations of wash basins, troughs, toilet bowls, urinals or a bidet were the simplest, pretentiousness and a design delicacy is perfect to anything here. In the photos illustrating different embodiments of retro style in a bathroom it is often possible to see original troughs with high semicircular backs and refined shod pinches. They not bad look also in "rural" interiors.
To buy troughs from a natural tree rather difficult, and to make with own hands – even more difficult. But if it is possible to get so unusual piece of bathroom equipment – means, the destiny directs to you to a way, a name to which – style of a country. The same can be told also about some wooden shells: if in case of their manufacture special rates on "glamor" weren't made, then they in general shall correspond to a rural subject.
Furniture and interior accessories for creation of style of a country in a bathroom
There is no need to buy a special set of furniture for a bathroom is not "in a rural way". It will be far more logical to be accumulated by couple of curbstones and dressers or a hinged cabinet which once your grandmother quite could buy. The furniture is usually colored light enamel color and create effect of the cracked surface. When in design of a bathroom style of a country is cultivated, inevitably there is a question of what to be to a mirror. If within technological concepts hi-tech and a modernist style the large rectangular mirrors which are built in in a wall "registered", then for a country the large mirror of the oval or round form in an impressive wooden or wattled frame will become more logical.
Pure towels and small-sized toilet accessories can be stored in the compact baskets weaved out of a rod, and dirty linen – in analog of larger size. Quite often for storage of linen volume linen bags which are attached to walls by means of holders are used.
Textiles as an element of design of a bathroom in style of a country.
Many read that in a bathroom there can be no textiles, except towels. But in relation to style of a country it is the statement you shouldn't consider seriously. And it is valid, difficult to imagine the rural house without abundance of fabric curtains and curtains everywhere where it is only possible – at windows, at doors, from the inside of the glazed cabinet doors, as "masking" of hinged shelves and so on.
On textiles for a bathroom in style of a country flower or checkered prints often meet – they became already "classics of style". Tucks, assemblies, ruches and frills give to textile accessories an additional charm.
Some secrets.
Starting point of an interior – the details executed according to a retro era mode. For example, the chromeplated details of adders and easels. Here also the trough on pinches with a round back – enters in spite of the fact that many will read it too glamourous, it will excellently add a bathroom interior in style of a country provided that it the bathroom sizes will allow. By the way, in the Internet log, we considered how to make kitchen in retro style.
It is the simplest to give compliance to style by means of a tree – on walls lining, and around a trough – wooden panels will perfectly look. However, at the request of them it is possible to replace small-sized, colored manually, with a tile. Windows are made out by a wooden sun blind or blinds though, besides, curtains, as those which make out windows in cafe can become alternative to them at the request of the client. Ease of an interior will be added by several independent lockers.

Kamagra Effervescent
(Sildenafil Citrate)
Kamagra Effervescent is a new form of well-known remedy of Sildenafil Citrate used to treat erectile dysfunction in men.
Kamagra Effervescent is a new formula created for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and improvement of men's sexual performances. It's actually the same active compound- sildenafil, but in a soluble form this time with a faster action. Its rate of absorption by the body is one of the highest among other types of Kamagra.
Common use.
Kamagra Effervescent belongs to a group of vasodilators named PDE-5 inhibitors. These substances act through dilating blood vessels in the genital zone and intensifying blood inflow in the penile tissues. All of these facilitate the production of a firm erection.
Please take into consideration that Kamagra Effervescent is not an aphrodisiac, consequently, a sexual stimulation will be needed for developing an erection.
Administration and dosage.
All you have to do is to put the pill into a glass of water. Within almost 10min after intake you will be able to have vigorous erections every time you will be sexually stimulated during 4-6 hours.
The daily dose is of Kamagra Effervescent is1 pill taken 10-20min prior to sexual intercourse. Between intakes should pass 24 hours.
Precautions and warnings.
Users should avoid drinking alcohol and smoking whilst undergoing medications containing sildenafil citrate. In this way they will not run the risk of developing heart illnesses or hypotension.
As in reference to activities involving a high degree of responsibility and concentration like driving and using machinery, it is preferable to monitor the body's reaction to the drug first.
You must not take Kamagra Effervescent if any of the conditions below make reference to you:
- cardiovascular diseases
- Peyronie's disease or other deformations of the penis
- renal and hepatic impairment
- stomach ulcers
- hypersensitivity to sildenafil citrate or to some other component of the drug
- severe eye and vision diseases
- previously heart attack or stroke
Side effects.
From the most commonly met side effects we can enumerate the following ones:
- headache
- nasal congestion
- nausea
- flushing of the face, ears and hands
- diarrhea
- prolonged hard-on
- buzzing in the ears
Drug interaction.
Administering various drugs together may be very dangerous in some cases. Therefore, the necessity to provide your healthcare professional with a complete list of medications and suffered diseases is obvious.
Kamagra Effervescent interacts with nitrates lowering the blood pressure till hazardous levels. Additionally, this drug interacts with macrolide antibiotics (erythromycin, clarythromycin) and alpha-blockers.
Missed dose.
If you forget to take the pill before the lovemaking act, you may take it as soon as you remember about it. Just be careful not to administer a double dose.
In case of an overdose of Kamagra Effervescent please consult your doctor for further instructions.

What brought all of this on? The shabby state of my existing sofa cushions, and a couple of needlepoint, woollen cross-stitch ones which are very out of place in the lounge since the arrival of the purple and green quillow. It really is time to replace them with something fresh and so a creative spurt ensued.
Step one was unearthing my purple scraps.
To be honest, at this point I did feel a little overwhelmed with where to begin. How far would these scraps stretch? What designs would they work with? With some inspiration from cushion-love around blog world and a few doodles, tweaks and calculations, I set to work on the beginnings of three new cushions.
Cushion 1 will give a nod to two personal favourites - the rectangular cushion and paper-pieced hexagons. So this was my starting point - three granny flowers. I am very excited about this cushion which will be inspired by Ariel's beautiful creation. I love how the traditional hexagons have been given a modern feel by appliqueing them on to a simply pieced cushion. I am so excited about how mine will turn out, but the end result is on hold until I can buy a little more purple fabric to allow the piecing of the larger rectangular sections. So for now, the hexies are as far as I've got.
Moving on to cushion 2, I decided on a cushion front with vertical purple bars of fabrics. I wanted to keep some of the larger strips of fabric remnants in tact just to show off the gorgeous regal depth to the colours and the lovely patterns.
I cut a few strips from my larger scraps then topped and tailed them with deep violet solid. There was much ordering and re-ordering of the bar strips to see which layout I preferred, but eventually I made up my mind, stitched them together and added more solid purple to each end.
As someone who hasn't mastered the art of free machine quilting, I am often disappointed that books and tutorials place such huge emphasis on this style of quilting. One of my little wishes is to see more projects and quilts which are quilted in interesting ways the beginner can manage. Often it makes a big difference to the overall effect of a project and it would be good to have a few more ideas for non-free-machining. Anyway, off my hobby horse and back to the purple bars! I didn't want to do much quilting on this cushion front. I wanted the fabrics to speak for themselves but didn't want to just quilt in the ditch. So I braved judging the quilting margins to stitch around the entire bar section in an outline style with lavender thread. I am really delighted with the result - it's not rocket science to most of you, but I think it works well in this instance. Due deference paid to inspiration of Bethany's cushion by Rags to Bags.
Finally, I tackled a modern mosaic style cushion front a la Oh Fransson's fab tutorial. Elizabeth's instructions were spot on and this was a real pleasure to do, though admittedly not a speedy process for me. I did wonder if it was ever going to get big enough as I kept adding pieces and sashing but it just kept drawing itself in in terms of measurements with all the many seams that were on the go.
|the beginnings of order from chaos
|coming together nicely
Elizabeth uses stipple quilting for a lovely effect on her cushion but not possessing that skill yet I unpacked the walking foot for my new machine and quilted along the middle of the sashing lines. I am really impressed with myself because I think the effect really suits the mosaic style of the cushion front (not sure if you can see it on this photo), and of course I'm now in love with my walking foot!
Well, all of these lovelies need some extra bits and bobs to allow me to finish them up so I'm off now to order zips and backing fabrics! It has been such fun this weekend and of course now I can't wait to get them backed and zipped and filled and on display in the lounge! I'll let you have a peek when they're done.
Hope you too had a creative weekend!

Chicken Chop Suey
Chicken Chop Suey (which means 'assorted pieces') is a main containing…well, assorted pieces of chicken (or beef, prawns, pork and vegetables). All stir-fried rapidly with eggs, bean sprouts, cabbage, celery and bound in thick tasty sauce – then delivered chop-chop, by us. Singapore Fried Noodles will have your taste buds singing thanks to vermicelli noodles seasoned with curry powder, veggies, scrambled eggs and a mix of chicken, beef, char siu pork or prawns. Looking for a lighter lunchtime bite? Try Dim Sum – a style of cuisine prepared as bite-sized dumplings. Perfect with a nice cuppa (Green) Tea. Fancy more spice in your life? Try Crispy Shredded Beef with Chilli for sizzling strips of deep-fried beef mixed in a sticky chilli sauce. Or there's Salt & Pepper Squid with a crispy, spicy coating around hot, tender squid. Want your cephalopod spiced up even more? Try Squid with Chilli in Black Bean Sauce. And, staying on seafood, Prawns in Spicy Sauce Szechuan Style is the best-known dish from this area with a sweet & sour sauce over moreish crispy tiger prawns – heeey – is that your stomach growling? Then you need to hear a Menulog delivery bike roar...
Crispy Seaweed
Wondering where to start? Easy-seaweedy. Crispy Seaweed is delicious and (spoiler alert) actually made from spring greens. (And easily ordered through the Menulog app.) Spring Rollsrock, too – deep-fried appetisers packed with shredded carrot, bean sprouts and rice noodles. Spare Ribs with BBQ Sauce is another sizzling favourite, whereas Sesame Prawn on Toastis a lighter way to whet your appetite. Too much choice? No worries, go 'shared platter' and scoff them all – you'd be Prawn Crackersnot to. (And you'd be mad not to use a Menulog delivery bike.)
