Every year, I get really excited over this particular invite – one that has the ability to pleasure my senses and have the event procedure replaying over and over in my mind – to Z Wedding's couture runway show! I attend each year's show with an anticipation that can send my schedule into chaos, with me spending too much time mulling over what to wear, who to invite as my guest etc… I have to admit, this event is extremely coveted to me on 2 levels:
1) The gowns are insanely beautiful and I get high on sartorial splendour. Yes, it's true. I'm not just saying because this is a fashion show, but I really eye-devour the intricacies of the gowns, and Z Wedding's workmanship and designs really are made to impress.
2) Appearances of local celebs (and even international ones, like Bianca Bai who attended in 2014)! This year's star-studded event included Fann Wong, Chris Tong Bing Yu, David Gan, Dr. Georgia Lee, and celebrity stylist Martin Wong, with more media personalities and social media influencers like Xiaxue, Tricia Ong, Lian Meiting, and Shine Koh, all mostly dressed in lovely Z Wedding gown pieces.
Enjoyed the lovely company of Elizabeth, who was newly crowned Miss Earth Singapore (Air-2015) in October. A girls' night out without our other halves! I really enjoy events like these.
The Z Wedding x CHIJMES gown collection
That's where the creatives and designers at Z Wedding are truly amazing, to have come up with gorgeous wedding gowns inspired by the architectural details of the Gothic chapel. CHIJMES has had a deep history and I do consider myself to have some sort of bond to the building being an ex-CHIJgirl :D, which made it ultra meaningful to actually spot boning on bodices and skirts that resemble the high arched cathedral walls and ceilings. Besides incorporating structural ingenuity into the gowns, the team also infused a whole lot of romantic elements like floral petals, layers of soft tulle and bridal lace.
My favourite piece of the night – this midnight blue crystal-encrusted tulle gown. Its tank top-esque lace bodice is a little unconventional, but I think it'll be great for brides looking for a simple yet gorgeous silhouette. I could almost hear the audience gasp in delight at the mesmerizing sparkling crystals the moment this dress came out. It was so so beautiful.
Check out what the guests have to say about the event!
Thank you Z Wedding for the invite :) Congratulations Joey Ling, Chris Ling and team on yet another successful event.

In ENO's revival of Rodelinda, humour, often burlesque, provides contrast to the stern realism of the love, control and betrayal central to one of Handel's masterpieces. Richard Jones's production takes opera seria by the horns and fashions a remarkably inventive, often dark yet entertaining staging.
By Handel's standards the plot is relatively straightforward. King Bertarido, believed dead, has been deposed by Grimoaldo, the Duke of Benevento, who then attempts to win the grieving queen, Rodelinda. When Bertarido returns her fidelity is put to the test but she outmanoeuvres the despot and is reunited with her exiled husband, virtue intact. Events are agreeably transparent, the narrative aided by Amanda Holden's excellent translation, her direct language making for immediacy.
Situated in post-war Milan, Jeremy Herbert's imaginative set mostly divides into two rooms; one a dark-panelled headquarters for Grimoaldo, the other, across a dingy corridor, a grimy cell occupied by the beleaguered Rodelinda and her mute son Flavio. While this juxtaposition neatly amplifies the plot's power-struggle, dramatic tensions are heightened by insinuations of ownership – Rodelinda's name is tattooed on Grimoaldo's back – and there are surveillance cameras in her chamber. An imposing monument to Bertarido graces the stage as does a neon-lit cocktail bar that provides refuge for his late-night self-pity. Lighting and costumes augment the detailing behind Jones's creativity.
It's a provocative vision, made ingenious by enhancing the realism through comic effect, in two instances using gallows humour that borders on buffoonery: in Rodelinda's rage aria 'Morrai, si' (You shall die) Flavio mimes the many ways in which his mother plans to kill Garibaldo, and the latter, when racked with indecision as to whether to murder Bertarido, his intended victim offers an assortment of weapons including an acetylene torch. How the audience howled with laughter!
But there are as many moments of searing emotion, markedly so in arias of gentle reflection. Tim Mead is magnificent as Bertarido and his laments (accompanied by bewitching recorders and bassoon) combine wonderfully effulgent tone with intensity of expression. Rebecca Evans reprising the lead remains wonderfully versatile, whether deviant or grief-stricken – and she captures outpourings of love to perfection. No less inspired is Juan Sancho as the morally rudderless Grimoaldo who draws our sympathy with the unbearable pathos (and some fabulous pianissimo) of his closing aria in which he dreams of a simpler life.
Neal Davies as Garibaldo is convincingly sinister, his impressively rich tones and claims that "romance would be perdition" utterly persuasive, while Susan Bickley is an equally plausible Eduige (Bertarido's sister) traversing scorn to witty benevolence. Christopher Lowrey as the ever-cheery Unulfo (even when stabbed accidentally by Bertarido) is superbly assured, and Matt Casey makes the most of Flavio, a mute role.
Christian Curnyn draws admirably stylish playing – strings thrillingly passionate, woodwinds mellifluous and the continuo group provides secure and responsive anchorage.

Celebrating Myself!
Celebrating Myself!
Wow and thanks for giving me this opportunity to actually get around to think whether I am celebration-worthy! And Lo! What do I find? I am! Like so many of us 'unsung heroines' out there; like every lady with gumption out there!
The problem with us unassuming types is the 'Oh, no, it's nothing' syndrome, no matter how good we are, how tough and fruitful our journey has been, we brush it off with 'oh everybody does that'. Yes, they do and we do and that's why we ought to feel pride in our achievements – however small they are. Our humility, I can assure you, has only one outcome- being taken for granted and rightly so, if we can't appreciate ourselves, why in the world anybody else would?
So, the title got me thinking- furrowed brows and all! Have I really done, as in, done anything stupendous? What is it about me that I can celebrate? Is there anything at all? Does being my mother's only support in her last days count as important? Is raising a fabulous kid an achievement? Is holding a family together worthy of an award? Could I or would I give any credit to myself for becoming and being the person I am? Has my journey from a gawky girl to a self-possessed forty-something (you'll never know forty-what!) been as simple as it looks?
Noooooo!!! NOT AT ALL!
I think, the fact that everything about me is a lesson in DIY- Do-it-yourself, is cause enough to celebrate. From choosing to study Literature when everybody around me was hollering 'MBBS'!, to finding my soul-mate, to sticking to being a full-time mom and leaving a lucrative job against popular wisdom, to finding my passion for writing (you had guessed it, hadn't you?) , to getting over rejection slips and plodding on till I got it right and published…..the list is long….I did do them all!
Add to that, that I was a novice at everything, being a wife, mother, teacher and writer and didn't have the benefit of 'mentors', not even a Ma-in-law to teach me the basics of home- management!
And I learnt it all one tough step after another by myself! And I think I have proved myself in every field. Well- my hubby has survived 26 years of me, sonny is a source of pride and joy, students have been tremendously successful and more than anything, have become friends to me and lastly, kind editors are publishing my work- if that doesn't entail a full-blast celebration- what does? Bring on the roses and tulips (glasses, I mean, but naturally!)
On a less boastful note, I take pride in saying that people who matter to me and vice-versa can always and I do mean, always, count upon me for love, support, sympathy and yes, hard-knocks when they're needed. In a world that is increasingly becoming all about facades, with me, you get what you see – no pretensions, I personally feel, it must be so exhausting to pretend to be what you're not. And I am proud, very proud of the fact hat I belong to the endangered species of those who never need to pretend; who have the courage to be always themsleves.
There have been many contributors in creating the person I am- the direct and the indirect influences; some taught me what to do and some, what not to..….both equally important.
And I think that means bottoms up for them all and yet another celebration!

IBM, SAP software alternative for some PeopleSoft, JDE customers
IBM's new offering allows SAP resources to be virtualized on IBM eServers running the Power chip. Some analysts say the software could be attractive to PeopleSoft customers leery of a future with Oracle.
IBM is rolling out software for mySAP Business Suite users this week designed to enable customers running SAP to manage the computing resources of various IBM systems.
The software package, called Dynamic Infrastructure, is aimed at companies running SAP on complex IBM infrastructures. Adding support to SAP's adaptive computing architecture, the software allows customers to automate the process of managing the computing demand of IBM systems running SAP applications.
Dynamic Infrastructure is available for IBM eServer zSeries, xSeries, pSeries and BladeCenter platforms, as well as IBM TotalStorage systems. It runs on IBM's Power5, Power4, zSeries microprocessors and Intel architecture microprocessors. IBM said it plans to roll out support for iSeries customers with eServer i5 boxes running on Linux later this year.
SAP NetWeaver, technology embedded into mySAP and at the heart of SAP's adaptive computing architecture, simplifies the integration of SAP software with products from hardware vendors, such as blade servers and virtual servers. The adaptive computing infrastructure adjusts computing demand and allows blade servers to assign tasks dynamically, so that if one blade is nearing overload, it will automatically assign tasks to another blade.
While the software is aimed at existing IBM and SAP customers, some analysts said the technology could be particularly attractive among significant numbers of PeopleSoft clients who use the iSeries -- by making it easier for users to make the switch to SAP. Many customers are mulling over whether to stick with Oracle Corp., which completed its merger with PeopleSoft last week.
By better allocating hardware resources, companies will eventually be able to invest in other projects, said Charles King, a principal analyst for Pund-IT Research, in Hayward, Calif.
"It's aimed at higher-end SAP users who want to achieve a higher level of system flexibility and performance, King said. "Basically, this is allowing SAP resources to be virtualized on the IBM systems framework, and that does offer some significant performance benefits."
The process of setting up an adaptive computing environment has been simplified with the new IBM software, but it still remains a hurdle for many companies, said Werner Ederer, an IBM program manager of utility computing, who serves as the lead developer of the technology. To use the new software, companies must undergo a lengthy install process of a base management server and map the entire IT environment.
"Since the whole process of setting up a dynamic computing environment is long running, error prone and cumbersome, most customers don't share resources," Ederer said. "We're changing that, otherwise, they end up with a huge number of servers that is hard to manage."
Once installed, the complex environments are much easier to maintain, Ederer said. IT staff can automatically implement up to 10 workflow steps to install mySAP Business Suite on IBM servers. Computing resources can be added when needed, rather than manually loading SAP software and an operating system on servers, he added.
"This technology reaches into the bowels of a system and automates processes that were once very complex and labor intensive," Ederer said.

A little while back I saw this movie.
Well, when watching it, I thought the main guy seems like he could be a big manosphere blogger-must've been the fancy marketing job, prostitutes, fapping, and, ah, yes the scene where he got blown by a guy. The other prime character is his sister. So, to use the buzzword psychobable, "Brandon" is a "sex addict" and his sister Sissy is I guess Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm not a psychiatrist, so I suppose I shouldn't make armchair diagnosis of fictional characters….
The line that jumped out at me was when Sissy said to Brandon, "We're not bad people, we just come from a bad place…."
Damn, that hit a little close to home….

Eagles are the strong, silent type of predator
Golden eagles hunt like Apache helicopters.
They speed high overhead and then, from long distances, sight their prey. In silence, they circle, drop altitude and then, if it suits them, make a headlong dive. At the finish, they flare their wings, extend their talons forward and, in a brief moment their prey never sees coming, snatch the victim for their next meal.
They are so big and powerful, with a wingspan of 7 feet and weighing 12 pounds, that about 90 percent of the critters that walk, fly or swim are potential lunchmeat.
In the eastern Sierra, they have been documented snatching baby ewes - that's right, juvenile bighorn ship.
In the East Bay hills, I've seen ground squirrels come out of their holes and freeze, as if that makes them invisible, and then get nailed so fast they never felt a thing.
The big goldens are tending their nests right now across the ranges in remote Contra Costa and Alameda counties. As April closes out, there are often more than 60 active nests in the region.
At Los Vaqueros, two chicks hatched in early April and two other nests are active with chicks expected to hatch this week.
The hatchlings grow very fast.
They will be full size by 11 or 12 weeks (the first week of July). That's when eagles fledge - that is, attempt first flight, an amazing sight.
Goldens are very shy of humans and can abandon nests if molested, and severe punishment is prescribed to violators. At Los Vaqueros, several trails north of the reservoir are closed right now to keep that from happening.
Bring your binoculars and spotting scopes, rent a boat and look for the giant nests - 5 to 6 feet wide. Stay at least a half mile away, and then watch the adults hunt ground squirrels to feed their young.
They are the fiercest predators of the sky.

Hampton, NH (PRWEB) March 12, 2014
Technology Business Research Inc. (TBR) released the Cloud Components Benchmark, a cutting-edge study on the "silver lining" of the otherwise disruptive rise of cloud computing services.
Cloud is disrupting the business model for many traditional IT providers, but the underlying fact is servers, storage, networking and software are still requirements for cloud delivery. TBR's Cloud Components Benchmark helps vendors understand this evolving market, anticipate customer requirements and react to competitive strategies to capitalize on the opportunity.
TBR Senior Analyst Allan Krans clarified, "While public cloud began the cloud migration, we believe the most successful vendors in the long term will be those that can monetize multiple cloud delivery methods. The components to deliver cloud are an incredibly important part of that strategy, combining a proven sustainable business model with all the growth and attractiveness of cloud solutions."
TBR tracked the business models, strategies, revenue and revenue growth of nine major vendors of software and hardware components. We researched the size, trajectory, segmentation and components of the solutions purchased by public cloud providers, managed private cloud providers and large enterprise clients building private clouds to define, measure and track this emerging opportunity.
The study identifies market movements across the cloud service delivery and orchestration layer, cloud operations management and security, cloud infrastructure and virtualization, servers, storage and networking. The study includes a market sizing, market landscape, analysis of growth and revenue leaders, acquisition scenario analysis and regional discussions that identify customer behavior across the Americas, EMEA and APAC. After the study, TBR concluded the cloud components market will grow to $39 billion by 2018.
This research is valuable to multiline hardware and software vendors, pure-play software vendors and pure-play hardware vendors that must react to the increase in customer adoption and shift their business models accordingly. Over the next five years, vendors will evolve their market strategies from infrastructure and virtualization adoption to service delivery and orchestration, ultimately ending with systems management and security. Subscribers to this research will gain valuable insight into best practices, strategies, objectives and performances of leading software and hardware solutions vendors, enabling them to better compete against vendors such as BMC, CA Technologies, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and VMware, which are already aligning resources to compete. This research serves as a guide for organizations in this market to identify risks, uncover prospects and create successful strategies to capitalize on the bourgeoning market opportunity.
A sales and marketing executive at a large multinational networking firm echoed the unique value of the research saying, "There's nothing else like this in the market. Other firms aren't looking at the market with the same business-model focus, and this will help us plan our cloud components road map."
For more information about the Cloud Components Benchmark, please contact Alison Crawford, senior marketing manage, at 603.758.1838 or alison(dot)crawford(at)tbri(dot)com, or James McIlroy, vice president of sales, at 603.758.1813 or mcilroy(at)tbri(dot)com.

Well today I have a very special guest writer with me. Kelsi from Progression Obsession is going to be taking over to talk about some of her experiences with Ed and his voices. Take it away girl!
One of the most memorable questions I received was, "Do you and other patients with eating disorder really hear voices in your head? Voices that tell you not to eat or work out all day long? I'm having a hard time understanding that concept."
I chuckled and answered with, "Yes- but that makes us sound a little crazy." The room of parents laughed along with me as I explained further.
One of the most difficult, yet important things while recovering from an eating disorder, is learning to change those pesky eating disordered thoughts or "voices in our head," as one of the parents described it. Often times, during the depths of an eating disorder, we don't realize that those ED thoughts are unhealthy and it becomes routine to give into that way of thinking.
As our bodies become more malnourished, the brain also suffers the consequences, resulting in a distorted body image and the never ending voice from ED screaming that we are not good enough.
My favorite analogy is to pretend there is a little bird on each of my shoulders; one bird is my ED bird and is constantly putting me down, while the other is my healthy, rational bird. Over time, the ED bird becomes bigger and much stronger than the healthy bird, so it becomes nearly impossible to hear the little healthy bird. The ED bird eventually starts singing so loudly that it distorts everything in life. Simply put, the ED bird takes over.
The good news, however, is that there is a way to find that healthy voice and with time, silence the ED voices.
Here are a few of the steps that have helped me gain control over the ED voices:
-Recognizing the unhealthy thoughts
-Finding the triggers that cause these thoughts
-Coming up with your own list of unhealthy thoughts
-Develop healthy thoughts to combat the ED thoughts
-Repeat as many times as necessary
And here are a few examples of things ED would convince me to do, followed by my own healthy thoughts to help fight back against ED:
ED: I am having a stressful day; food is the last thing I need.
Healthy Thought: Food is the first thing I need. Eating balanced meals will help relieve some of this stress and help me think more clearly about the situation.
ED: I can't believe you just ate that! You are fat and worthless. It's time to hit the gym to burn off those calories.
Healthy Thought: I need to eat- plain and simple. Food will give me the fuel I need to live out my dreams and the nutrients to help my brain work more efficiently. I do not need to go to the gym; that is a disordered thought and I will not give in to it.
ED: Go out with your friends? Are you joking? There will be food there. You have already eaten today and don't deserve to have fun.
Healthy Thought: Going out with friends will bring me happiness, laughter and silliness. I deserve to have a good time. If there is food around, I will not allow myself to feel guilty about eating.
ED: Get on the scale first thing in the morning and then plan your daily intake around that number.
Healthy Thought: Stay away from that scale! No matter what the number is, it will never make me happy. That number means absolutely nothing and numbers do not define me.
ED: "You look healthy" You must have gained weight.
Healthy Thought: Looking healthy is a good thing, even if I don't believe it yet. My body image is still extremely distorted.
ED: You aren't hungry. You deserve to skip dinner tonight.
Healthy Thought: Although I may not feel hungry right now, I need to remember that my hunger cues are still adjusting. I deserve these calories as a way to nourish my body.
To answer the initial question, "Do eating disorder patients hear voices?" simply put, the answer is yes. These voices, however, are reversible and there are ways to fight back. It can be a difficult thing for an outsider to comprehend, but I think it's important for people to know these ED voices do not make us crazy. Eating disorders are a very serious mental health disease and this is one of the many symptoms involved.
If you are reading this and find yourself overwhelmed with ED's pathetic lies, please remember you're not alone. It might seem like a daunting task to overcome these voices, but with time, practice and tons of patience, you can bring your healthy thoughts back to life.
Thank you Kelsi!

The Dingle Peninsula is one of the Gaeltacht areas of Ireland, where the Irish language is spoken every day in various pockets of the area, and traditional culture is best preserved.
It offers miles of sandy beaches, soaring mountains, narrow country roads lined with golden gorse and flowering red fuchsia, nature and beauty in abundance.
The scenery in this area is dramatic and beautiful, and includes miles of the finest beaches and mountain trails with unsurpassed views of the north Atlantic and rugged off-shore islands.
We have taken the time to put together a list of things to do and see while you are in Dingle. If you should have any questions about any of these things, or about the Dingle and the surrounding area, please email them to us and we will do our best to answer all of them.
Dingle Horse Riding was founded in 1989 as a small, family-run business based in Dun Quin on the Dingle Peninsula. The idea was to cater to those people who wanted to see the area other than by car, bus, bicycle, or on foot by offering adventurous rides through the magnificent Irish countryside. All levels are accommodated, and there are a variety of trek types to choose from.
This contemporary art gallery shows an excellent selection of paintings and sculpture from Ireland and abroad. There are new exhibitions throughout the year showcasing artwork inspired by the surrounding area.
There are very few places in the world that can startle the eye with beauty. Fewer places again can provide a mixture and variety of nature and beauty to invigorate the soul. The Dingle Peninsula is one of those places. Take a drive along the Slea Head Road and see for yourself!
Irish shore angling is among the best in Europe. Almost every type of shore fishing may be done for a very wide range of species throughout the year. Deep see angling off the coast of the Dingle Peninsula is also very popular and is some of the best in Ireland.
The Dingle Peninsula boasts some of the most challenging golfing in Kerry. There are two excellent links courses on the peninsula, both of which have beautiful sea views.
No other area in Ireland offers the variety and quality of walking trails and routes as the Dingle Peninsula. There are routes that will take you up and down mountains and hills, along beaches and strands, and across seaside cliffs. All walks in the area will give you the time to enjoy the awesome beauty of the area.
In 1984, a young bottle-nosed dolphin started to appear at the mouth of Dingle Harbour. The now world-famous dolphin has remained in Dingle since, and has become both a friend to the locals and a great "attraction" for visitors.
The Peninsula, with it's many beaches, strands and piers is the ideal playground for the water-sport enthusiast, and has played host to a selection of windsurfing, surfing and sailing competitions.
Choose your Island Experience
The Great Blasket Island Boat Tours Voted No.1 Tour in Dingle .
Great Blasket Island Experience vessel "The Peig Sayers" – departs Dingle Marina daily at 11 am.
Complete day tour package – approximately 6 hours long (including landing on the Great Blasket Island) Duration may vary depending on wildlife and is the best way to see the Dingle Peninsula and Great Blasket Island.
Located on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, we offer simple self-catering accommodation in five restored cottages at the top of the old Blasket Island village.
Lodgings are equipped with basic amenities, but no more than what is needed to enjoy a unique peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Okay ladies and gentlemen, its time to put your fancy pants on. We're headed on a trip to an upscale restaurant, that is also a hole in the wall, that is also on many gourmands' bucket list, and is also one of the top ten new restaurants in the United States according to this blog* and Bon Appetit**.
*The other nine are here in Fort Worth.
**The other nine from BA are not here in Fort Worth.
The Hole family (get it?) went to Ellerbe Fine Foods (EFF) to celebrate numerous events, the most important of course, was the free meal for yours truly so this review could be provided. There has been much talk amongst local foodies and people who just generally prefer eating over not eating, regarding EFF. It is either the best restaurant they've been too, or it doesn't live up to the hype. Before discussing my meal, I think its important to address this issue. EFF, like many new restaurants we're seeing in town is an upscale restaurant that isn't a steakhouse. For many, that's unusual and the idea of paying a high restaurant tab and not getting a filet mignon confuses people. However, what EFF lacks in steaks, it more than makes up for in carefully considered and prepared dishes which use a variety of ingredients that many have not experienced before. So lets get into exactly what that means....
The visit involved a highly adventurous attitude from the entire family. We had four different starters, five different entrees, and 3.5 desserts. To begin with, we had a Scott Farm Heirloom Tomato Panzanella, the Doak Farm Pears and Brazos Valley Blue salad, Warm Red Wine Crimini Mushrooms and Housemade Rye Crisps and the Rabbit Terrine. I didn't get to try the Tomato dish, but it was reportedly delicious. In fact, they were all delicious and none of the food made it back to the kitchen. We also had the crimini mushroom dish. To begin, I hate mushrooms. They taste like alien eyes. Why people eat them is beyond me. The EFF mushrooms are working to change me. I didn't get a sense of any alien eyes and the flavors were very vibrant. The pear and blue cheese salad was also very good. It tasted like a great version of a typical steak house salad.
I had the rabbit terrine and will attest to the uniqueness of it. A rabbit terrine is made by setting a trap under the Easter Tree to catch a fresh rabbit. Terrine is french for "pate" which is french for "smeared". The Easter rabbit smear was delicious by a 2 -1 vote. One person was afraid the crunch in the terrine was possibly rabbit foot. We confirmed that it was something else.
For the entrees, we each tried a different dish, and, with one exception, I had a bite of all of them. We had the Langoustine (inbred lobster), the Veal Involtini, the Chili rubbed Wild Boar (my dish), the Paneed Redfish and the Duck Confit. The Langoustine came with a delicious homemade pasta and sauce that was easily one of the most flavorful pieces of any of the meals. The Redfish was also very flavorful and came with a few delicious green beans. The duck was tender, flavorful and came with gruyere bread pudding that disproved my hatred of soggy bread. Finally, the Chili Rubbed Wild Boar. This was my dish and was by far, my favorite item of the entire evening.
The boar is served with mesquite bean blinis (food thong), crispy nopalitos (cacti), and a house made jelly. My fancy pants were stretched tight after I licked the plate clean. The boar was tender and fell apart at the touch of a fork. I've never had mesquite beans or blinis but I think they both could cure a minor disease based on their deliciousness. The fried cactus bites, while spiky, were delicious as well. This dish wasn't what earned EFF a "best restaurant in the universe" award, but it will when that award comes out.
We also had desserts. I used the menu to give the details above, although the entrees and starters are still vividly dancing around in my vast mind. But there was so much to take in and this sponge of a mind I have was filled with funny jokes about rabbit smears and images of Wylie Coyote falling on cacti, that I can't remember all the details about dessert. I know we had ice cream that was more flavorful than anything you can buy in a store. We may have also had some bread pudding and some sort of pumpkin thing. It was all delicious but it was good food overload for me. This meal should have been spread out over about three days so that I could fully enjoy the awesomeness that was Ellerbe Fine Foods.
If you haven't been, the holidays are approaching and this place would be a wonderful place for a Christmas/Holiday event. That is, if your idea of a special meal doesn't require your traditional steak place. They do offer a steak at Ellerbe Fine Foods, but there is so much more to explore here.
If you've been - let me know how right or wrong I was. EFF earns a three hole rating because its not scary in any way when you approach but the unique menu, and the use of an old gas station keeps it real, yo.
Ellerbe Fine Foods is located at 1501 West Magnolia Avenue and is not open on Sunday or Monday.
The website is Ellerbe Fine Foods.

The majority of Americans don't consume enough essential nutrients to keep their bodies healthy. This is understandable considering foods like vegetables can be plain and boring.
Though salad doesn't always make you want to scream for more, it's never more exciting than when it's eaten out of a jar. This recipe is sure to satisfy your hunger and contains ingredients that will provide you with the nutrients you need, all while making the experience of eating salad that much more enjoyable.
Salad might not be the most appealing meal, but it can be when it includes quinoa.
Quinoa has become the world's most popular superfood. It's high in fibre, protein and minerals and will keep you feeling full, aiding with weight loss. Quinoa is also packed with antioxidants that fight free radicals in the body. This gluten-free grain is loaded with nutrients and is amazing for your health by keeping your blood sugar levels low and improving your metabolism. Pairing quinoa with your traditional salad leaves will definitely amp up your salad experience.
Raw Honey
Honey has been around for ages, and for good reason too. This natural sweetener is useful for healing wounds and burns. In addition, it helps prevent GERD and kills bacteria, allowing your body to fight infections.
Honey can be consumed in a variety of ways, even as simply as adding a spoonful to your tea or infusing some in a glass of water.
Garlic isn't just useful for scaring away vampires, it has many health benefits too. Often used to add flavour, garlic is high in nutrients, like manganese, vitamin C and vitamin B6, but very low in calories. Manganese helps keep your bones strong and healthy in addition to maintaining the health of other parts of your body. Not having enough of it could result in high blood pressure, poor eyesight and bone malformation, among other things.
Consuming garlic also strengthens your immune system, helping to prevent the onset of common illnesses like the cold and flu.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar will make you glow, inside and out. Not only does it balance the pH of your skin and restore shine in your hair, this vinegar keeps your body healthy in countless other ways.
ACV boosts circulation, and reduces heartburn, mucous and sinus congestion. It is also rich in natural enzymes that help get rid of candida. Furthermore, ACV contains acetic acid, which has been found to aid in weight loss.

Winter in Bavarian Forest
I've been to Bavarian Forest National Park a few times now, during every season of the year – except of winter. This was something I was thinking of for quite a while, waiting for a good opportunity to realize it. About two weeks ago, weather started to get really interesting. High pressure spread out across southern Germany and caused quiet conditions and cold nights. In the following days, an almost perfect atmospheric inversion developed, covering the lowlands and valleys under thick and persistent layers of fog. However, higher altitudes were rewarded with lots of sunshine and temperatures sometimes almost 10°C higher than below the inversion layer. As the best idea therefore is to climb a mountain to enjoy this natural phenomenon, I did so. At midnight I arrived at the National Park and after a short and cold sleep in the car I headed towards the top of Lusen. First I was a little disappointed as there was less fog in the valleys directely surrounding the mountain as I hoped for. But when I realized that the air was so clear that you could even see the Alps at the horizon, I knew this would be a gorgeous morning up there.
Almost an hour before sunrise, the eastern sky already turns deep orange and sends a beautiful indirect light across the landscape.
Down there everyone complains about the bad, foggy weather – up here you can even see the Alps.
When the sun creeps above the horizon, nothing hinders her light – the air is crystal clear.
The low sunrays emphasize the structures of the snow covering the top of Lusen.
Down in the valleys, fog and mist reveal the shift of light and shadow caused by the hills.
Due to the snow, the famous dead forest around Lusen looks even more graphically than usually.
Geometrical patterns, drawn by light and shadow.

Missouri native, but a destructive defoliator...
lives in my garden (always makes me jump)...
OMG - having something like that spider crawling around gives me chills.
Rat snakes are a good idea though! :-)
Oooo, those are creepy! Made me shiver! Believe it or not, the photo that creeped me out the most is the tent caterpillars...and they don't even bite!ReplyDelete
Oh, and perfect post for Halloween!ReplyDelete
I love your pic of the black widow. That's actually the reason we got chickens. We had an outbreak of hundreds of black widows. They were beautiful but so deadly with young kids around. (I actually found the first one in their sandbox!) Terminix couldn't really do anything about them. So we went the natural way and got chickens. They love black widows and are very thorough. Since we got the chickens, we've only seen one black widow. (Knock on wood!)ReplyDelete
As always, beautiful photos! I hope they all got to stay except the black widow. She's just too dangerous to let be. Maybe the chickens make a snack of her.
We found 3 black widows this past summer over the course of a few months....2 in our bee hives & a huge one on a tractor that my husband & 6 yr old son were using. Im 43 and have NEVER even seen one then we find 3 in 2 months time, very scary.
We live in west Michigan

Hervey Bay Whale Watch has been a family run business for over 30 years here in Hervey Bay, Queensland.
Brian and Jill Perry began commercial Whale Watching in Australia back in 1987 in the calm, pristine waters of Hervey Bay.
After 30 years of running and operating Hervey Bay Whale Watch they sold the business to the Peaker Family (long time friends) in 2017.
John Peaker use to fly the spotter plane and started working on the boat for Brian & Jill back in 1987 which furthered his boating career in 1989 when he became a Skipper for Hervey Bay Whale Watch.
John pursued a career as a commercial pilot but always maintained a close connection with the Whale Watch Fleet and did occasional skipper jobs as much as possible.
30 years later he was flying over Quick Cat II and was struck by how good the boat looked moving in the water - it happened that John was looking for a family business - one thing led to another and he and his family (Josh,Sam & Kate) took over Hervey Bay Whale Watch in 2017. So it has gone full circle and the Perry's are confident that the business is in good hands with part of the original crew at the helm.
We invite you aboard Quick Cat II this season to experience the magnificent Humpback Whales in the beautiful waters of Hervey Bay.

This is a good one. If you're one of the few readers who still believe it's important for an action figure to be a good toy, this Anakin Skywalker is one of the better ones. Not only does he have the first entirely-new sculpt of Jake Lloyd as Anakin in over a decade, but he has a wacky fun toy backpack that feels like it was ripped right out of the 1990s... when the first Anakin came with a backpack which did absolutely nothing.
Hey kids, it's Flitchee! This is one of thse figures who didn't really have a name until the toy came to pass. He looks different than the figure on the box, too! Want to know more? Read on!
The Clone Trooper Lieutenant is starting to finally trickle into stores, just in time for you to go "Didn't I get this in San Diego?" (Yes.) It's still quite good, and as a repaint it's OK. If yours has eyebrows, anyway. Read on!
Arguably one of the more interesting TIE Fighter pilot names, Mauler Mithel came from, if my abacus is truthful, Decipher's customizable card game. The pilot is notable with his rubbed helmet symbol and... pilot-ness.
This Gasgano from 2012 lacks the Pit Droid from 1999, but has a flag and slightly different deco. So you'll probably begrudgingly buy this one, if at all. Read on!
Who loves a good argument? The Nightsister which just showed up at Target is sold with animated versions of Darth Maul and Savage Opress, but is sculpted to match a prequel concept for a proto-Darth Maul Sith Witch character. She's not very cartoony, but if anything, feels like a stealth "concept" figure rather than a Mother Talzin substitute.
The Darth Sidious that is made the least tends to sell best, and the 2012 version ain't bad. It has a nice head sculpt popped on a 2005 body, but the sculpt of the 1999 version is pretty charming still. Is this a worthy upgrade? Read on!
This is a good one. The Yellow R6-Series Astromech Droid was probably my favorite from the ones I was able to get in Orlando last month, because it looks just familiar and just different enough to be awesome. It's also in some really gonzo color. Is it worth tracking down?
There are many, many C-3PO figures and this is one of them. Based on a retooled and redecorated 2005 mold, the Resurgence of the Jedi release has some extra smudging and black oil paint. Is it cool? Read on!
This Plo Koon was built off a modified 2002 release with some changes made from the waist on down, allowing the figure to sit. Sort of. Is it worth getting? Should you complete the Jedi High Council?
It's R5-D8! I know it looks like R5-D4, but it's not. Trust me. This redeco uses a build-a-droid body and creates Jek Porkins' trusty droid in a different paint job than they did for Galactic Heroes.
Not quite as exciting as an all-new astromech, this older Destroyer Droid has limited articulation but a decent sculpt. There's not a lot to it, but it looks good. Want to know more? Read on!
Given the nebulous nature of what constitutes an actual full figure, the Red R9-Series Astromech Droid is more than a little arbitrary. We'll be viewing the Star Tours Droid Factory figures as unique characters, defined by the dome. (The body is, of course, up to you.) This one is bright red, almost orange, with a rich silver texture and a softer sculpt than his brothers. Is it worth the trip and obscene price on eBay?
Let's look at Dagobah Darth Vader. The funny thing about this one, there are two other versions of the "character" but all of them are a little different. Why is this one the best?
This Darth Maul is a lot like another Darth Maul, but it's got a jacket. But no shirt. Why? I have no idea, but here it is so read on.

This is a very good, 3-star, superior tourist-class hotel. It is ideally located, in the heart of Paris.
The hotel is located a few minutes walk from Opera, Louvre Museum and famous department stores, such as Galeries Lafayette and Le Printemps.

The breakfast room is on the basement floor. It is a restored ancient cellar, with stone walls.
The hotel is a traditional, Parisian-style, 6-storey building.
Guests are welcomed into a medium-sized lobby. The décor is a mixture of traditional and modern furniture, with Oriental and Western styles. The walls are covered with large wooden paneling, creating a dignified atmosphere.
There is a lift for each wing (left and right).

Make Money Online: Open an Online Store
Who hasn't, as they've clicked that oh-so-tempting buy it now button on eBay, Amazon or Etsy thought, "I should be selling, instead of buying?" Yes, you could actually make money online rather than just spend it -- what a concept.
I'm definitely in that category, especially when it comes to dresses. I can justify my buys with the fact I work on camera a lot and therefore "need" a variety of clothing (but really... that's a pretty weak excuse. I just love clothes!) In order to salve my guilt (or is it simple to free more space in my closet?) I've decided to put my mod-mini where my mouth is and open a vintage frock shoppe on Etsy.
I know I'm not the only one opening virtual doors, so I decided to consult with two successful entrepreneurs that I've done business with, to see if they wouldn't mind sharing a few tips to surefire success for making money online by selling secondhand clothing. Turns out, their words of wisdom actually apply quite well to running just about any kind of do-it-yourself, work-at-home storefront.
Alison Douglas has a very hands-on approach with her Velvet Garden Gothic Clothing Store in that she not only sells her own fashion finds through her standalone domain, but she also takes on commissioned items. Nancy Yu, on the other hand, competes using the huge forum of eBay, and in her store she sells mostly things that are new with tags (NWT) high-end and trendy designer dresses and outfits. The two could not be more different in their approach, but each woman is successful and happy with the results.
"I launched Velvet Garden way back in August 1998, so it's pretty well-established in terms of websites," Alison says. "At the time, eBay was the only place online where individuals could sell their things without having to go through the trouble of making their own website. It was never my intent to compete against eBay, but I did want to offer an alternative selling space -- one that was smaller, more genre specific, more friendly to new sellers, and one that didn't involve all the complications and limited time frame of an auction site."
Nancy, on the other hand, feels that running with the big dogs is an advantage. "eBay is the world's largest online marketplace, and I wanted to take advantage of that. Before I started selling on eBay, I was of course, a buyer. I remember spending sometimes hours searching for good deals. And I know there are others like me browsing the pages of eBay with similar tastes in clothing. And when there are more people out there browsing, the greater the possibility of more people wanting the same item you are selling. This is a great advantage for the seller because the possibility of selling the item at a higher price increases as well."
Of course, as in any business, there are highs and lows. I asked each woman to outline the pros and cons of running an active, everyday online store, and here is what they shared:
- I can keep my own schedule, and don't need to man a storefront during business hours. It's flexible enough that even when I'm occasionally working a freelance job, I can still manage to take care of my online business in the evenings or weekends. [Alison]
- eBay is a large marketplace with thousands of people on the site searching at any given time and the chances are, there is someone out there who wants what you're selling. (even if they don't know it yet!) [Nancy]
- Having an online store has given me the opportunity to learn so many things about Web design, user interface, online marketing, promotions, PR, networking -- it's a fast-paced field where there are always new things to learn. [Alison]
- One challenge is getting used to working from home by yourself, instead of being surrounded by co-workers. This lack of social interaction in the workplace was a bit of a transition at first. [Alison]
- If it's an auction, there's only so much you can do to control the price. You can't start too high, and sometimes it will sell lower than expected. If it's a fixed price, sometimes it takes awhile to make the sale. [Nancy]
- Customer payment! Most of the time, buyers are really good about it. But sometimes (quite often, actually), you get buyers who really take their time in payment or don't pay at all. This wastes a lot of time, especially if you have to re-list the item. [Nancy]
Finally, when it comes to advice for those ready to take the plunge, Alison says cross-promotion is important. Don't be afraid of befriending and even helping your so-called competitors by spreading the word about their business, if you like what they're doing and it complements what you are doing. "There are many ways you can do this, ranging from website links, to flyer trades, to promoting each other in your newsletters or FaceBook pages. When I find another small business that's creating beautiful things, I love to let my friends and customers know about it; and it's a nice bonus if they want to spread the word about my business as well!"

Always Be the Center of the Universe with this CameraTravel News — By spencerspellman on December 8, 2010 at 9:30 am
Does this sound familiar, casual photographers? There's nothing more frustrating about being asked to take someone's but then being excluded from that same picture. Unless the asker is a complete stranger, it's slightly rude to ask to have a photo taken without being in it yourself. To be truly inclusive, they could at least have the decency to setup their tripod and put it on a timer so that you can be in the photo too. Well, thanks in part to a new camera, you'll never have to worry about not having your photo taken while shooting photos of others.
According to Geekologie, the new Ion Twin Video Camera trumps all before it, as it not only takes photos and videos of the subject itself, but also photos of the person shooting the photos and video. Because who doesn't want to see a photo of a person taking a picture, right? As the product's description states, "for every action, there's a reaction" and it can be yours for only $200. While we're not exactly sure if this will revolutionize how travelers take pictures, it could be useful to prove to mom and dad or boyfriend or girlfriend back home that you actually visited the Eiffel Tower of the Colosseum of Rome, instead just sending them a random Flickr stream from Paris or Rome while you sat at the hostel bar all day trying to pick up other cute travelers.

1) Script Title:
Step Carousel Viewer v1.6.1
2) Script URL (on DD):
3) Describe problem:
My problem is as follows. When I originally setup the carousel I have 2 panels. Users can change what is in the carousel by clicking on different links. These links execute some ajax that returns varying numbers of panels. However, since the carousel was originally setup to show 2 panels, I can ever only see 2 panels.
I thought that maybe I could change the 3rd status variable to the total number of panels returned, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
Is there a function I can run to update the total number of panels once the carousel is setup?
Thanks in advance.

The Urban League of Portland has been dedicated to serving the African American community and others since 1945. This work has taken shape in many forms with advocacy and civic engagement at the forefront, leading the way for more opportunities for our community to get engaged on multiple levels.
In 2010 our Health Equity team began to think about how the Urban League could best support and empower the community and those who continue to do on the ground work, keeping their communities healthy and strong. The culturally specific Community Health Worker (CHW) program was born out of these talks about health equity, barriers to accessing care, health disparities faced by the African American community and the need to see culturally specific services provided by those who represent the community, available.
The Urban League of Portland, in partnership with a coalition of health focused nonprofits and government offices, launched the We Are Health Movement culturally-specific community health worker training in 2013. The inaugural class of 28 African and African American community health workers were trained and state certified this summer. A second cohort followed in early 2014. The Urban League of Portland is committed to the success of our CHWs and the ongoing support of their work, so we have created a Community Health Worker Hub which will function as a venue and support for state-certified, culturally-specific community health workers. Our CHW Hub support services include continuing education and training, providing opportunities for leadership and advocacy work, and supporting living wage employment as a CHW. We also function as advocates and navigators for the integration of CHWs into the health care system, community based organizations, advocacy groups and in leadership roles. By creating a network of certified African and African American CHWs the Urban League can continue to advocate, support, empower and fight for the community from within the community.

We're a hawk on the issues.
Valet Worker Fired For Racist Slur On Key Chain Tag Of Interracial Couple
An interracial couple in Georgia is outraged after a racist incident in which "jungle fever" was written on their key ring tag by a valet worker. Sam and Candea Aarons had just finished celebrating New Year's at a restaurant called Spondivits, located in the town of East Point ,when they went to pick up the car from the restaurant and noticed the racist phrase. Candea is African-American and Sam is white. He had also just returned from serving overseas in Kuwait.
"We have never been so blatantly described in such a blatantly appalling manner ever," said Candea. "We had no idea that the valet was looking at us or thinking of us in such a manner. [I was] unaware racism is alive and well."
APS Valet, which operates the valet service is the restaurant, said the valet in question was no longer working at the restaurant. They declined to give his name, but said he was African-American. "APS does not tolerate racism of any kind whatsoever," the company said in a statement. Similar sentiments were echoed by Glenn Gane, the restaurant chef at Spondivits, who personally apologized to the couple. However, restaurant workers declined to speak to reporters on camera.

We have a collection of poetry by women titled The Extraordinary Tide: New Poetry by American Women [811 EXT], the book was published back in 2001, so it can no longer be considered "new" poetry, however, some of its poems can be considered timeless. Here's one by Gail Mazur that falls into that category:
We weren't waiting for anything to happen.
We lived by a lake, no tides to nag us,
no relentless conventions of flow
and ebb. No frantic hermit crabs
dragging sideways in their stolen shells,
nor the drained tidal pools they fled--
Only the soft green surround of pine
and beech, the mackerel clouds, the meek
canoes. We felt enclosed. Safe.
The future looked fictional then,
though I never doubted a lucky life
could break, that rapture and grief
could be handed to me in one hard package,
delivered, and left, however I labored,
whether I rested, or ranted and zigzagged
from morning to evening. I worked
with my back to our life. Moonflowers
bloomed in the nightyard: white,
dazzling, sufficient to the night.
Lovely. Lovely. Lovely.
From here head over to Read Write Believe where Sara is hosting the Poetry Friday Round-Up.

Unity's physics system is pretty good for make look real rock falling down the volcano. It looks very real.
Here are the options I wanted for the rocks expelled from the volcano:
- Random rock from at least 4 rocks
- Randomly set on fire, with smoke trail
- Random rock size
- Random rock debris (splinter) generation on ground collision
- Rocks must react to multiple ground collisions
- Random sound on FIRST ground collision & random picth. Has bass effect.
- Diffenrent random sound AFTER the first collision, does not have a "rock rain effect"
- Rocks must stay on ground indefinetly
- All effects must be detroyed from the rocks after it stops moving
- Rocks must be able to "jump out freely" from the volcano without colliding with another rock during its ascension
- Fire must gradually fade out after the rocks stops moving
After countless trys and errors, here is the logic I came up with:
Here are the results:
