Of course you're smart. Of course you work hard. You wouldn't be thinking of starting a business if you weren't. Hopefully you also have some street smarts, the ability to sell, and good communication skills.
The good news is, if you don't, you can learn each of them. But there's one key ingredient you can't learn and the underlying decision on starting a business comes down to knowing yourself well enough to answer this one key question: what's your tolerance for risk?
Risk tolerance is kind of like IQ. It's innate. You may want it to be higher, but you are who you are (and being very tolerant for risk isn't necessarily a good personal trait, it's just good for being an entrepreneur).
Right now, you're probably saying to yourself: "I hope my risk tolerance is innately high."
Here's a quiz to help you find out:
1. If you completely fail, end up broke and in debt are you:
- Totally fine with that, you can handle it
- You get it, can live with it, but know it'll be hard
- I have kids, I have a mortgage, it's a problem
- Why would I want that?
2. Can you name at least three meaningful occasions in your life when you could choose between a safe path and a riskier path and you chose the riskier path?
3. Are there people you are afraid of disappointing?
4. The following is closest to the truth:
- Most of my self worth comes from work
- I have a balance of self worth from work and other things (family, friends, faith, community)
- I don't need work to define me, it's just how I pay the bills
5. There's nothing else you can imagine doing other than starting this company and working for yourself. Nothing else could possibly be fulfilling or worth your time.
6. People think you're a failure. You:
- Couldn't care less
- It bothers you a little
- Can't have that, it's too embarrassing
7. When you think about your funeral, you want people to say that you were:
- A visionary
- Someone who was great at their work, and a great parent, friend, sibling, neighbor, person
- A really good person
Okay, so here's how you score it.
Q1: (A) 7 pts, (B) 4 pts, (C) 2 pts, (D) 0 pts
Q2: Yes: 7 pts, No: 0 pts
Q3: Yes: 7 pts, No: 0 pts
Q4: (A) 7 pts, (B) 3 pts, (C) 0 pts
Q5: Yes: 7 pts, No: 0 pts
Q6: (A) 7 pts, (B) 4 pts, (C) 0 pts
Q7: (A) 7 pts, (B) 4 pts, (C) 0 pts
49 points: Go start a business today. You'll probably fail, but anything other than trying would make you miserable.
40-49 points: Go start a business, but think it through and make sure you're in love with the idea first.
30-39 points: This could work out, but weigh it extremely carefully against your other options, priorities and ambitions. You might be better off not doing it.
29 points or less: Congratulations, you're not insane. Go find a job you like and enjoy life as a balanced, happy, well rounded person.

Apparently, the left of center in Queensland took a huge beating in a state election. Giving their Liberal party (right of center) a super majority of seats in their lower house.
I'm wondering if we can't get one of our Aussie friends to explain the intricacies of this event for us? I know this will be perceived as a loss for Gillard and maybe a sort of referendum on her policies, but again, I'm ignorant of how things work down there.
Anthony and Jo Nova have posts on this.
Is the lower house they're referring to the legislature of the state or of the national legislature of Australia?

FTBFS on armhf: clang defaults NEON instructionsNov 19, 2016
DebianDebian diaryLLVM
This is a little subject matter I came across recently. Since American Fuzzy Lop (AFL) was started to build with LLVM higher than 3.7 there were problems on the officially supported port armhf. The build always breaks over an illegal instruction while trying to compile the tests for the instrumentation:
[*] Testing the CC wrapper and instrumentation output...
unset AFL_USE_ASAN AFL_USE_MSAN AFL_INST_RATIO; AFL_QUIET=1 AFL_PATH=. AFL_CC=clang-3.8
../afl-clang-fast -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/«PKGBUILDDIR»=. -fPIE -fstack-protector-strong
-Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -Wno-pointer-sign
-DAFL_PATH=\"/usr/lib/afl\" -DBIN_PATH=\"/usr/bin\" -DVERSION=\"2.30b\" ../test-instr.c -o
test-instr -fPIE -pie -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now
Illegal instruction
Makefile:97: recipe for target 'test_build' failed
make[2]: *** [test_build] Error 132
The bug report on this was commented by Paul Wise (great stuff!). On the armhf machines1 some instructions are generated which can't be exectured (the other ports passed through), and the build breaks with a SIGILL from afl-clang-fast. afl-clang-fast(1) is simply a wrapper around clang with injects the instrumentation for the fuzzying process into executables which are going to be tested.
It came into focus that clang greater than 3.7 passes NEON instructions2 by default, and thus the build breaks when this package hits a build machine which couldn't provide that extension3.
That chosen default of LLVM is currently under discussion.
However, emitting any NEON instructions can be prevented by telling the compiler explicitly.
The option
-mfpu=vfpv3 restricts to the VFPv3 floating-point extension and disables the NEON SIMD extension.
Until this issue gets solved in the llvm-toolchain-3.8 and 3.9 packages (the original bug report got cloned for the LLVM packages), the afl Debian package could make good use of a temporary fix.
I've changed
debian/rules to pass custom $CFLAGS and $CXXFLAGS (I've initially missed that, thanks to Michał Zalewski) to the things to compile in
ifeq "$(shell dpkg-architecture -q DEB_HOST_ARCH)" "armhf"
clang_cflags := $(CFLAGS) -mfpu=vfpv3
clang_cxxflags := $(CXXFLAGS) -mfpu=vfpv3
Now, we're again in front with AFL on Debian, the package dropped out of Testing for some time now (the reason was #828178: clang-3.7 doesn't support -fdebug-prefix-map. Since that feature from reproducible builds has been applied to Sid the AFL package went FTBFS).
Instead of sticking with the current default LLVM version (3.8), I've bumped the old
debian/patches/hardcode-clang-version.patch to work with clang-3.9.
With that move,
avoid-builtin-return-address.patch could be dropped (clang SEGFAULT on s390x, #818380), and also
-fstack-protector could be again enabled throughout (#786599).
The current package (2.34b-5) gets uploaded to unstable (for fixing this bug the experimental branch again was used), then the update to latest 2.35b would be next.
- armhf is the ARM port on Debian for 32-bit hard floating-point units with ARMv7 instruction set. See Steve McIntyre's presentation on the DebConf 14. There's also a fine German article on the ARM chips in Linux-Magazin 01/2015. [return]
- Some of ARM's Cortex-A cores (application profile for computational intensive tasks) contain NEON (128-bit SIMD) engines which accelerate certain applications. In the v7 class, it's default for Cortex-A8 and optional in Cortex-A9. Among the Debian machines, the armhf porterboxes asachi and harris support that set, abel doesn't (that could be found in
/proc/cpuinfo). [return]
- The armhf build machines which have been used (hoiby, henze, hasse, and antheil) are equally equipped with Marvell Armada XP MV78460 development boards. The ARMv7-compliant chips feature VFP3-16 floating point units. [return]

An ostomy wound, also known as a stoma, is a surgical opening linking internal organs to the outside. These wounds are used for a variety of purposes ranging from delivering nutrition directly to the stomach to providing drainage for a patient with a damaged bladder. They can be temporary or permanent and special wound care procedures are required to keep the site of the ostomy wound clean and healthy while preventing the opening from closing prematurely.
An ostomy may be used temporarily to allow a patient's body to recover, as seen when patients have surgery on their bowels and a stoma is created to temporarily bypass the surgical site, giving it time to heal. Similar surgical sites are created for people recovering from procedures on the bladder. In other cases, an ostomy wound may be a permanent necessity. People who lose their colons to cancer, for example, will need a colostomy to drain their intestinal tracts.
The wound is created in an operating room by a skilled surgeon who selects the best placement. The patient is usually placed under general anesthesia for the procedure. Part of the surgery will include placing a tube and a button to hold the tube in place so that the ostomy wound will not close up. A common problem with such wounds is that the body regards them as abnormal and will attempt to heal closed if the drainage tubes are pulled out or out of position.
In the initial days after a surgery to create a stoma, special care is needed. The surgical site has to be kept scrupulously clean and any signs of infection or inflammation need to be addressed promptly. As the patient heals, wound care requirements decrease, although it is still important to keep the ostomy sealed or connected to a drainage bag. In addition, the opening needs to be covered with protective bandaging to reduce the risk of colonization by dangerous bacteria and other microorganisms.
A patient with a permanent stoma will be provided with careful wound care instructions and will be required to attend periodic followups to confirm that the site is still healthy and still functioning as needed. Patients with temporary ostomy wounds may receive hospital care from a wound care specialist. If they are sent home while the ostomy wound is still in place, they can be provided with information about how to take care of it and may also work with a home health provider during their recovery.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Three Behaviour Change Tricks for Home or Work
Date: 26-Apr-17
Author: Ryan Collins
Trying to change people's behaviour can be a challenge whether at work, home or amongst friends. Understanding behaviour change psychology can play a critical role in whether your powers of persuasion will be successful. Take a look at three tips from our new Business Case for Less Waste guide.
1. Start Small and Easy
Research shows that encouraging people to commit to a small, easy change is likely to entice them to commit to a bigger change later. In the US homeowners were asked for permission to install a 6ft x 3ft sign saying 'Drive Carefully' in their yard. Unsurprisingly, only 17% of residents agreed. But when residents were asked to display a small 'Drive Carefully' sign in their window for two weeks, they were significantly more likely to agree to hosting the large sign.
Make it Work for You
Make it work for you by providing a recycling bin adjacent to the waste bin at home. Or organise desk trays for office paper reuse and recycling at work. The next step could be to encourage the use of reusable takeaway coffee mugs.
2. Use the Group
Humans are social creatures and our behaviour is strongly influenced by 'the group' (more so than we like to admit). A study carried out in the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona used two different signs to test what would be most effective in stopping the theft of fossilised wood and bones in the canyons. These were the surprising results:
- In the area with no signage (the control area) the theft rate was 2.92%.
- In the second area a sign read "Please don't remove the petrified wood from the park, in order to preserve the natural state of the Petrified Forest," and included a picture of a single person taking a piece of wood with a red circle and bar over their hand. The theft rate in this area was just 1.67%, meaning the sign was effective in reducing theft.
- In the third area the sign read "Many past visitors have removed the petrified wood from the park, changing the natural state of the Petrified Forest," and also included a picture of several people taking pieces of wood. It resulted in a theft rate of 7.92%. The sign actually increased theft because it created the impression that everyone was doing it – it was a social norm.
Make it Work for You
Don't reinforce the bad behaviour by highlighting it. Avoid turning it into a social norm by focusing on the good behaviour. Rather than having a sign that reads "Stop leaving the lights on at night", highlight the good behaviour with "Thank you for turning the lights off before you leave."
3. Hit 'em Where it Hurts
Human brains feel the pain of current loss more than they feel the joy of gain. People don't like to miss out. Research showed that home owners were up to 300% more likely to undertake energy efficiency upgrades if they were told they were losing 50 cents a day, rather than being told they would save 50 cents a day. 300%!
Make it Work for You
Imagine you are trying to persuade your boss or management team to adopt a new recycling program that will save your organisation $12,000 a year. Framing your pitch in terms of "We'll miss out on $12,000" or "We're paying $12,000 a year more than we need to" are much more likely to be successful than saying "We could save $12,000 a year."

Energy prices will not impact UK shale
Interview opportunity: 'Frack Master' Chris Faulkner, CEO of Breitling Energy Corporation in Birmingham next week
Chris Faulkner, CEO of Breitling Energy Corporation based in Dallas, Texas, and known by the media as the 'Frack Master', will be available for interview in Birmingham on Wednesday and Thursday next week, April 15 and 16, when he attends the Shale World UK conference and exhibition.
The BBC reportedly says there could be 100 billion barrels of oil in the Jurassic Kimmeridge formation according to UK Oil and Gas Investments (UKOG), another reason why all eyes this week are on the oil and gas drilling in England.
To put this potential find in perspective, the entire North Sea production over the last four decades is around 45 billion barrels, and the world's largest oil reserve, Saudi Arabia's Ghawar, produced an estimated 65 billion barrels of oil since 1951.
Faulkner is not only attending the Shale World UK conference and exhibition, but he'll also be in London for interviews following the conference.
Even with the current fall in oil and gas prices, Chris thinks shale exploration will still be viable in the UK. "Shale oil gas will take some time to bring online," Chris will say, "but this is a long-term investment, and prices will always fluctuate up and down. What's key is the UK can gain independence from foreign gas by developing this massive resource under its own soil."
"The North Sea is suffering because of the current drop in oil prices. It is a mature field, and as such is very expensive to extract, thus making it more vulnerable to these price changes. Shale is relatively cheap in comparison and could produce equivalent volumes over a similar period going forward. It is an opportunity the UK should not miss."
Chris Faulkner feels that the two biggest obstacles to shale in the UK are the complex planning regulations and public opposition. Opponents base their argument on unfounded safety fears, which been proven untrue by US production and confirmed by the highly respected 2014 University of Manchester study claiming fracking can be done safely domestically. Drilling restrictions in the UK are more stringent than the US, pointing to even stronger safety precautions here.
Energy security and shale development have not become issues in the current General Election campaign, mostly because of milder temperatures this winter. Last fall, with Russia jawboning to reduce gas flowing through the Ukraine, a cold winter could have led to shortages, and energy independence would certainly have propelled up the political agenda. "The UK is at the end of a very long pipeline and only has two weeks of storage capacity if anything goes wrong, Faulkner says"
Chris Faulkner will be speaking at the Shale World UK conference and exhibition being held at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Birmingham on Wednesday and Thursday next week (April 15 and 16). His topic will be: "Can unconventional exploration be economic at current oil and gas prices?"

Removes oils, flux, dust, fingerprints and all other debris from printed circuit boards and metal panels.
Designed specifically for printed circuit board cleaning. Remove oils, flux, dust, finger prints and all other debris from printed circuit boards and metal panels with the cleaning system. The Chemical Cleaning System featuring the exclusive oscillating nylon strip brushes and EnviroGold's 816/18.54 de-fluxing chemistry provides the highest quality level in desired metal preparation and cleanliness as verified by independent testing.
This integrated team of machine and chemistry provide the optimum in cleanliness with the virtual elimination of undesired H2O inherent surface tensions that are prevalent in industrial water cleaning applications and systems.
Cleaning Chamber:
The Cleaning Chamber is the first stage of the multiple stage cleaning system utilizing 40 gallon filtered, recirculating thermostatically controlled reservoir. A stainless steel heater is coupled with an over temperature device and a low level safety control. A pump recirculates 3600 gallons per hour of chemical solution through 45 strategically placed "jet spray nozzles". Quadruple baffling at the exit of this chamber assures minimum drag out into the second stage cleaning chamber. Oscillation Brushes in the cleaning chamber ensures proper cleaning of contaminants from the traces and pads of the printed circuit boards.
Fresh Water Rinse Chamber:
The Fresh Water Rinse Chamber is the second stage of the cleaning system. The chamber contains 30 strategically placed "jet spray nozzles". Water is sprayed on both sides of the panels completely removing all traces of chemical and surface residue. The water is supplied by in house pressure.
Recirculating Chamber:
The Recirculating Chamber is the third stage of the cleaning system. The chamber utilizes a 12 gallon filtered, recirculating thermostatically controlled reservoir. A stainless steel heater is coupled with an over temperature device and a low level safety control. The pump recirculates 3,600 gallons per hour of solution through 30 strategically placed "jet spray nozzles". Quadruple baffling at the exit of this chamber minimizes solution loss.
Drying System:
The Drying System is the fourth stage of the cleaning system. The chamber utilizes an efficient, filtered air system that is the key to the drying principle. A high velocity pressure type self cleaning aluminum fan produces 1450 cubic feet of air per minute at 15 inches of static pressure. Ambient air is then fed through six uniquely designed air knives (three top and three bottom) that blast away any trace of moisture, including all through holes.
Filtration System:
The Filtration System filters the solutions to the Cleaning Chamber and the Recirculating Chamber, utilizing polypropylene canisters for contaminant entrapment. Solutions are returned to the chambers through heavy duty schedule 80 PVC plumbing. All necessary control valves and drains are easily accessible through a convenient snap lock door located on the side of the machine.
Some of the Flux Removal Post Cleaner / Chemical Cleaner's key characteristics are:
- Superior cleaning for HDI, 6 mil PTH's tented vias and wire bond gold surfaces.
- Significant improvement in solderability and deoxidation of metal surfaces.
- Ionic HASL contamination reduction (20X) compared to H2O utilization.
- USEPA preferred chemical utilization.
- 100% biodegradable in POTW.

"Eco Style"
Simply put, Eco-Style means having one or two items made from natural materials: wood, unprocessed leather, natural latex, or some type of stone. The colors should carry a hint of earthly-tones: chocolate, cream, dairy, and gentle shades of green. Modern furniture is designed to accommodate the anatomic features of a human body; it is not only convenient, but should help reduce the risk of scoliosis, osteochondrosis and even allergies. It should revitalize the body, relieve stress, and provide comfort, all while reflecting your style and personality; and this is no small matter, given that we spend almost 80% of our time in beds, sofas, and chairs.Read More...

Flag of the General Council of Ardennes - Image by Olivier Touzeau, 24 January 2009

Ivan Sache, 14 November 2009
As communicated by the Head of the PR Department of the General Council, the flag of the General Council is white with the logo of the General Council, adopted in 2008:
Our new identity comes actually on our flags under the simple form of the new logo. These flags are flown only on the sites managed by the General Council (bases de loisir [places for outdoor leisure and sports], sports halls, etc.)
As explained in the leaflet Les Ardennes - Nouvelle identité visuelle du Conseil Général (Ardennes - New visual identity of the General Council), published in June 2008 by the General Council, the Compagnie 360 EURO RSG agency was commissionned on 14 May 2007 by the General Council to design its new visual identity. The new logo, adopted on 30 May 2008 by the Permanent Commission of the General Council, was unveiled to the public on 12 June 2008.
The boar was kept on the new logo as the main symbol of identification
of the department, highlighting its values (force,
courage, solidarity). The boar was stylized to match the modern and
current (visual?) codes. References (I guess, designed by the same
agency) are the logos of the General Councils of Orne and Territoire
de Belfort, featuring a horse and a lion, respectively.
The boar's left curve represents the routes of communication with the other French regions and the development of infrastructure. The top point of the boar's head represents the Givet point, that is the northern part of the department "entering" Belgium. The boar's eye represents the location of Charleville-Mézières, the capital of the department. The boar's tusk represents the fortified town of Sedan, with a pun on défense, in French both "defense" and "tusk". The boar's lower curve represents momentum, speed and dynamism. The boar looks towards North-East Europe.
The "A" of "Ardennes" has to be read A comme Avenir (A like Future); the final "S" represents the curves of river Meuse.
The current trend in the colour choice for logos requires no more than two colours, matching criteria of elegance, institutional character, modernity, simplicity and efficiency. The references are the logos of the General Councils of Somme and Eure. Golden yellow and green blue have been selected as the main colours of the local landscape.
A font was designed specifically for the logo of the General Council,
for a differentiation from other departments, an easy identification
and an efficient representation of the department's character. The
references are the corporate logos of SNCF and Suez.
There are two variants of the logo, with the writing "ARDENNES / Conseil Général" or "Ardennes / Le Département".
The matching graphic chart was released on 14 November 2008. The
meaning of the colours is detailed as golden yellow for the stones of
the Place Ducale of Charleville and of the fortress of Sedan, and a
wink to steel industry and agriculture, and green blue for the forests
and the valley of Meuse.
The colour specifications are given as:
- Green-blue: Pantone 3302c - CMYK 100-0-56-69;
- Golden yellow (1): Pantone 132c - CMYK 0-23.5-100-30.5;
- Golden yellow (2): Pantone 1255c - CMYK 0-27.5-100-34.
The font is given as "Gill Sans".

Former flag of the General Council of Ardennes - Image by Ivan Sache, 23 September 2009
A photo of a traffic circle located at the entrance of Charleville- Mézières, the capital of the department, shows the former flag of the General Council as white with the former logo of the General Council.
The former logo of the General Council of Ardennes shows a white
hexagon bordered in blue, "Ardennes" in blue letters surmounting a red
line and the writing "de FRANCE" in black letters, flanked by a black
boar running on black soil.
"de FRANCE" identifies the French Ardennes (with final "s", plural) as opposed to the Belgian Ardenne (without final "s", singular, see the toponym La Roche-en-Ardenne, and, oddly enough, the French Region Champagne-Ardenne); the old Forest Arduina is indeed cut in two pieces by the complicated border between France and Belgium.
As explained in the leaflet Les Ardennes - Nouvelle identité visuelle du Conseil Général (Ardennes - New visual identity of the General Council),
published in June 2008 by the General Council, the first logo, with the black boar and the blue hexagon, created in
1992 by the local graphist Michel Oury upon request of Jacques
Sourdille, President of the General Council, was registered on 9 June
1993, under the name "Ardennes", with INPI (Institut National de la
Propriété Industrielle - National Property Institute) and WIPO (World Intellectual Property Office). It was used for the first time in the June 1994 release of BIDA (Bulletin d'Information des Ardennes - Ardennes Information Bulletin), the review of the General Council.
In December 2005, a "cleaned-up" logo was shown in the Les Ardennes en marche (Ardennes Ahead), the new magazine of the General Council; the writing "CONSEIL GÉNÉRAL" and the hexagon were dropped, "helping the boar to recover its liberty out of its natural territory".
Reused in the current logo of the General Council and shown on the
coat of arms assigned to the Department of Ardennes by Robert Louis in
1949-1950, the wildboar is a traditional symbol of Ardennes. Such a
boar is shown on the arms of the town of Sedan. In 1956, when Sedan won the
French Cup against Troyes (3-1), the supporters walked their mascot, the wild
boar Dudule like a dog on the stadium. The tradition has
been maintained, the current mascot being Césarine. Unsurprisingly,
the club is nicknamed Les Sangliers ("The Wild Boars").
William I de la Marck (1446-1485), a warlord nicknamed "The Wild Boar of the Ardennes" involved in the wars of the Principality of Liège in the 15th century, is a main character of Walter Scott's novel Quentin Durward.
On 8 August 2008 (08/08/08, referring to the code number 08 of the department), Woinic, the biggest wild boar in the world, indeed a sculpture by Éric Sléziak purchased by the General Council, was officially inaugurated on the Faissault-Saulces-Monclin service plaza of Highway A34.

It's amazing what happens when you decide to start writing a blog. Virtual friends unexpectedly turn into real ones, whom you meet for the first time at Margot, a glamorous Italian in Covent Garden. Although unlike a blind date where nerves and apprehension take over, this is more like meeting an old friend.
Covent Garden restaurant
I've always found it fascinating how life helps you to gravitate towards like-minded people. Binny and Aftab have been supporting the Curious Pixie from its early days and we all thought it was high time we met up.
From the moment we arrived and spied the smartly dressed man in his bowler hat inviting us in, we knew we had arrived somewhere special. You can't help but feel you've entered the glorious old school days of dining with the equally welcoming front of house, waiters in dinner jackets and dickie bows.
Paulo De Tarso and Nicolas Jaouën the duo behind the venture have stylishly transformed the two-floor restaurant into a luxe brassiere, with its plush midnight blue banquettes, copper detailing, crisp white linen, half-height curtains in the windows and flattering lighting.
The man in charge of the kitchen is Maurizio Morelli, delivering dishes from an extensive menu. It's split into small plates, fromaggi, antipasti, crudi and secondi. The primi and insalate are available in two sizes, which pleased me and Binny greatly. Sometimes a big bowl of pasta no matter how yummy can be just too much.
Binny ordered a small plate of the Ubriaco all'Amarone, made from cow's milk and aged in must of Amarone wine (£7.50). The delicate, creamy cheese was incredibly moreish and a generous portion for a small plate.
We moved straight to the mains on this occasion as we sat chatting and quaffing. Binny and I went for Ravioli di zucca e ricotta. The Delica pumpkin and ricotta ravioli was doused in sage butter and topped with toasted hazelnuts and Grana Padano (£11).
I was all over the buttery number, soft and deliciously sweet enough. The toasted hazelnuts provided a lovely texture against the smooth ravioli. And in the words of Paulo 'it should on the desserts menu'. Lush!
Aftab ordered the Tonnarelli al tartufo norcino. The spaghetti-like pasta was flavoured with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, chilli and black truffle (£13.50). All my favourite flavours in a bowl. I did wonder 'why the hell I didn't order it?' Next time.
We received such a warm welcome from Paulo and Nick. They joined us after we'd devoured our mains and regaled us with wonderful stories of how they entered the culinary world and the origins of the restaurant name. The namesake is Paulo's mother-in-law, Margot, whose nickname translated into Dachshund due to her short legs, hence the logo too.
After a fascinating chat we decided desserts were in order. We all went for different ones, creating our very own Italian smorgasbord of sweet delights.
First up was the Baba al rum (£7), a light cake soaked in rum with tangerine cream and orange sauce. Now if you like rum, you'll be in heaven. It's drenched in the alcoholic syrup, I'm not a huge fan so the big rum hit was slightly wasted on me.
Being a cherry fiend I was very excited by the sound of the next one, a Cremoso al cioccolato ed amarene (£8.50). It was like a mini roll with an Italian makeover. The chocolate, morello cherry and rum cremeux was encased in a thin layer of chocolate and sat on top of a blood orange and Campari granita. A pure delight! The richness of the chocolate and cherry went well with the cool and fresh granita. This time the rum was not so overpowering, so it went down a treat.
Last but not least, the dessert that won the hearts of table was the Tiramisu (£6.50). Margot's own take on the dessert with a chocolate heart and Amaretto sauce. The filling was more like an airy mousse and the flavours delicate, which I rather enjoyed.
If you're after elegant service with a dash of old school charm and incredible Italian cuisine in fabulous surroundings, this is the place for you. Give Margot a whirl next time you find yourself in Covent Garden. You can thank me later.
Do you have a favourite cuisine that you seek out when dining out? I'd love to hear about it. Let me know in the comments box below.

I'm so sorry for your loss...This is a very tough time (hugs)
You need to talk to your Dr.-Some say wait others say after a m/c you are more fertile! It helps to talk to the Dr. b/c they may need to check to insure that all has healed/cleared properly before trying again.
mmperea:About 2 cycles after the miscarriage is over seems to be about average when it is that early. I would say double ck with the Dr just in case.
kristen7805:Thanks everyone! I have a follow up visit on Wednesday, so I will ask a bunch of questions. I really appreciate your responses. It is nice to have some advice from people who are also in my situation. It's hard to talk to people who have no idea how difficult this time is. Good luck to all of you!
To you too!! Let us know how you apt goes!!
Update! I went to my appt yesterday and was told that we can start trying again when we feel we are ready, so that was good news. Also, I am still having some bleeding, so I got antibiotics, as a precaution to infection, and progesterone to help the removal. I will be going back in 2 weeks for a follow up again. Seems like I am there more than I am at home lately. I also will need to repeat blood work to follow my HCG levels down to 0. The numbers are still a little high.
Thanks to everyone for the support. I wish everyone good luck! And I will keep y'all updated!

Hats off to Zeke Hecker and his article: "On Composing for Woodwind Quintet". kalvos.ord/heckless1.html. 5.03.2016. Here's a potted version of his timely advice:
Image: "Tips for composing Piano Music". coltharppianoworld.com. 6.03.2016
Remember wind players have to breathe
unlike string players
Wind players need to rest
constant blowing is tough!
Avoid too much of the "pastoral" sound
wind instruments can do a lot more – they like to move it
Avoid a fixed hierarchy
share the tune around
Don't use all five instruments all the time
the occasional embedded solo, duet or trio is rather nice
Extreme register tones (highs & lows) require dynamic discretion
example: real soft is fairly hard to do
Play around with rhythm
wind players are good at it
Stretch the classical wind quintet concept
include other members of the family—ex. the Eb clarinet
Try combining winds with other instruments
Piano, or a few strings are nice
Try transcribing as a practice exercise
Piano music is easiest to start with

Rock n' Roll Baby Onesie Cookies
I had a really fun order this week for a baby shower. A fellow food blogger from Pittsburgh, Lauren of Burghilicious (check her out – great blog!), was helping to plan a coworker's baby shower and wanted to order cookies for the event. The twist was that this wasn't your stereotypical baby shower. The mom-to-be plays guitar in a rock band and didn't want any frilly, pastel-y, typical baby stuff. The theme of the shower was "Rock n' Roll Baby" and Lauren asked that I create some onesie cookies to go with the theme. I took rock 'n roll and ran with it. I created six different designs:
♦ "The future of Rock"
♦ "Rock n' Roll baby"
♦ "Rockstar"
♦ "Mommy Rocks!"
♦ "Let's Rock" (with a guitar)
♦ "Born to Rock" (with a guitar)
Since the baby is going to be a boy and they wanted a more "hip" theme to the baby shower, I went with masculine colors – white, black, , grey, blue, and deep purple.
A closer look at some of the cookies:

Johnny came up with the killer solution, remove the bad section of plate and stitch in a piece from another plate. The hole was spotted by piloting through the case with everything bolted up and then drilled with it removed again, the way it should have been done in the first place. Worked a treat, the join is seamless and for all intents and purposes invisible when it's been painted, which is the next job to knock off of the list.

Application by Westwood Construction Limited to amend the Halifax Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and Halifax Peninsula Land Use By-law (LUB) to permit the application of a development agreement allowing a mixed residential and commercial building at 2032-2050 Robie Street, Halifax.
The applicant is proposing a development consisting of a single 24-storey residential tower inclusive of a 4-storey podium base containing hotel and other commercial uses. The project would consist of 112 residential units, 55,800 square feet of commercial retail space inclusive of 81 hotel rooms within floors 2-4 of the podium. The project would contain 93 underground parking stalls divided between two levels with an additional 13 parking spaces at grade for a total of 106 parking stalls all accessed directly off of Robie Street.
The subject properties are 21,549 square feet in area with approximately 200 feet of street frontage, located on the west side of Robie Street just north of Quinpool Road. The property is primarily designated HDR (High Density Residential) with a small portion at the southern end of the site designated C (Commercial) within the Halifax MPS . The property is primarily zoned R-3 (Multiple Dwelling), with a small portion at the southern end of the site zoned as C-2 (General Business), in the Halifax Peninsula LUB.
NOTE: A proposal is also being considered under Case 18966 at 6009-6017 Quinpool Road, Halifax.
This application is being considered under the municipal planning strategy amendment and land use by-law amendment process.
Regional Council initiated the process at its meeting on June 10, 2014 following consideration of an initiation report presented by staff. This initiation included consideration for plan amendments to both this site as well as the adjacent property at 6009-6017 Quinpool Road under Case 18966.
The initiation by Council further required changes to the original proposal to address the design control principles for building height, mass, density, shadowing, and spacing between towers. The applicant has included some changes from their original proposal (see the initiation report) to include a taller, more slender, tower. The revised plans are provided below.
An Open House was held on October 1, 2014 in order to obtain community feedback on potential policy changes for these sites. Poster Boards from this meeting can be found through the link below.
Municipal Poster Boards from Open House
Applicants Poster Boards
A public information meeting (PIM) was held on Thursday May 21, 2015 to specifically discuss Case 19821. Presentations from the applicant and from Municipal planning staff are as follows.

Being diagnosed with any disease or form of cancer is extremely frightening, and many people's first question or concern is what their prognosis is. When discussing a prognosis, a person wants to know what their life expectancy is likely to be and what their chances of surviving the disease are. Sadly, mesothelioma is an extremely aggressive form of cancer that is often caught in later stages, making the prognosis generally less positive than other forms of cancer. Additionally, it is impossible to say exactly what a person's prognosis is; however, there are a number of factors that can affect a person's expected survival and life expectancy, increasing it or decreasing it.
Prognosis and Living with Mesothelioma
When diagnosed with mesothelioma, certain factors, such as what type and form a person has, the stage in which the cancer was caught, and others, will play a large role in determining a person's life expectancy. Sadly, those diagnosed in the later stages of mesothelioma and with the rarer forms of the cancer are likely to have lower life expectancies and less positive prognoses than those in earlier stages.
As a very aggressive form of cancer that is often caught very late in its development, the outlook for mesothelioma is not great for many patients. Although the percentages of people who survive one year and five years after diagnosis has risen greatly in recent years, the number of people who survive past one year is only 40% and only 10% for five years. As a result, the number of people who go into remission is extremely low.
Factors Affecting the Prognosis
When a person is diagnosed with mesothelioma, there are a number of ways in which a doctor may determine their prognosis. Some factors that are used include the following:
Mesothelioma is an extremely serious disease that, tragically, affects a number of Americans each year. While catching it early is difficult, those who have been exposed to asbestos should get tested regularly to determine whether they have the disease and try to catch the cancer as early as possible
Mesothelioma is a very rare form of cancer that is typically found in people who have been exposed to asbestos. Asbestos are mineral fibers that can cause tumors to form in the linings of organs when the fibers become lodged, or stuck, in the lining. Typically this type of cancer affects a person's pleura, which is the lining of a person's lungs. However, it can affect other organs in the body, such as the abdomen or heart. Because of how rare mesothelioma is, there is only a formal system for determining the stage of the disease in those diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, which is the form that affects a person's lungs. However, because of how aggressive mesothelioma and how much more difficult it is to treat it in later stages, determining which stage a person's cancer is in is extremely important.
The Differences between the Stages of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma has a range of four stages, which are very similar between the three different systems that are used to determine which stage a person's mesothelioma is in. These three systems – Buchart, TNM, and Brigham – are very similar, but do have slight variations in characterizing the stage of mesothelioma. For the Buchart staging system, which is the most used system for determining the stage of cancer, only focuses on the location of the primary tumor and not how large the tumor is, how many cancer cells there are, or the level of cancer. On the other hand, the TNM system determines stage based on the characteristics of the tumor, if the lymph nodes have cancer in them, and if the cancer has spread to other places in the body (metastasizing). The Brigham system is somewhat similar to the TNM system in that it uses these three factors to determine stage. However, it also uses the effectiveness and possibility of surgery to determine what stage a person is in.
While these stages vary depending on which system is being used, the following four stages are fairly characteristic for each stage:
Although it is difficult to catch mesothelioma in the earliest stages, getting check regularly, especially after a person knows they've been exposed to asbestos, can give a person a better chance at catching it early on, making the prognosis better.
Because of its fire-retardant and insulating properties, asbestos was used in a good number of construction and building materials, such as shingles for roofs, tiles, car parts like clutches and brakes, packaging, products that are heat resistant, cement products, and coatings. Despite the strength and other beneficial properties of asbestos, this mineral fiber has a number of drawbacks as well, namely its ability to cause tumors and cancer in people who inadvertently inhale or get the fibers in their bodies.
Unfortunately, when products made with asbestos are disturbed or broken, dangerous fibers are released into the air and environment, making it easy for people to inhale them. When a person inhales these fibers, they get stuck in the lining of a person's organs, such as the stomach, heart, and lungs, causing tumors to grow. When this happens, a person has developed the type of cancer known as mesothelioma. Depending on where the fibers get stuck in the body, the type of mesothelioma that a person develops will vary.
While mesothelioma can affect other organs of the body, there are three places where the fibers most commonly stick and form tumors – the stomach, the heart, and the lungs. The three forms of mesothelioma that this causes are the following:
Regardless of what form of mesothelioma a person has, it is a serious diagnosis that requires significant and intense treatment in order to give a person a chance at beating the disease.
As an extremely rare form of cancer, mesothelioma only affects a few thousand people per year. However, the reality of this disease is very prominent for those so affected, and finding treatment for the disease is usually the number one priority. Sadly, due to its rarity and aggressiveness, this type of cancer has not been thoroughly researched; thus, the best way to treat mesothelioma has yet to exactly be determined. This is especially true because of the varying stages of mesothelioma and how treatment needs to change based on the stage.
Despite the lack of research into this problem, doctors have been working on determining the most effective ways to treat mesothelioma. While there is no cure for this disease, there are treatment options for those who have been diagnosed with this form of cancer. According to well-known doctors in the mesothelioma field, the goal of treatment is to prolong a person's life as best as possible, while minimizing pain and suffering.
Varying Choices for Those Diagnosed with Mesothelioma
Just like other forms of cancer are treated through surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, so too is mesothelioma when treatment is possible.
While treating mesothelioma is difficult, particularly in the later stages, it is necessary to giving a person the best chance at survival and in preserving their quality of life.

DigiTech BP80 Multi-Effect Pedal
So I thought I would get both of my multi-effect pedals out of the way. Everything generic I said about the Zoom applies to this pedal as well. Like the Zoom, the BP80 is made of plastic, so I wouldn't use it as a door stop or close combat weapon. The "expression pedal" portion (their term, not mine) is about the size of my 5-year-old daughter's foot, so you need to allow yourself space around it if you tend to use it and don't have freakishly small feet. It is about as easy as the Zoom to program, but they cram almost 100 options under some channels, and the only way to scroll through them is one at a time. That can get annoying and tedious. It has your standard tuner/bypass feature and runs on a 9v or AC adapter. It also has a headphone jack, which is kind of cool if you are looking for a way to practice quietly and don't have a headphone jack in your amp. New ones run about $65 shipped from eBay, but used ones are considerably less.
The BP80 has 80 program slots. The first 40 have factory defaults but can be erased/altered by the user. Program slots 41-80 have the same factory defaults as the first 40, but can't be messed with. It also has cabinet modeling and a built in drum machine, neither of which I have ever used.
I currently have program 1 set up as nothing but a volume pedal, and program 2 set up as a Crybaby type wah-wah pedal so its easy to swap between them. What really makes this pedal unique among all my other pedals is that you can assign the expression pedal to control the parameters of just about any effect that the BP80 can generate. Here's the whole list:
Amp Gain
Chorus (speed or output level)
Flanger (speed or output level)
Phaser (speed or output level)
Vibrato (speed or depth)
Synth Talk (sensitivity)
Octaver (level)
Envelope (sensitivity)
Detune (level)
Pitch Shift (level)
Whammy (shift)
Delay (level or feedback)
Reverb (level)
If you like making freaky sounds with your bass, there is a lot of potential here, especially for things like chorus, flanger and phaser where you can actually manipulate the effect and not just the output level. I'm sure there are other more expensive multi-effects for bass that can serve this type of purpose, but I don't have those. I like both of my multi-effects for different reasons, and I'll probably keep them on my pedalboard as long as I have space.
Edit - Here are some videos I made for the Digitech BP80:

Video 2 (Output Level Control)

The courtyard of the Royal Academy has been transformed into a grove of trees by the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The structures are made from sections of dead trees collected on the mountains of southern China. These were pieced together at Ai's studio in Beijing to create the eight 'complete' trees on show. They've been interpreted as a commentary on the way diverse people have been brought together to form 'One China'.
Viewing the trees is free, but there is a charge for the rest of the Ai Weiwei exhibition which is inside the Academy and continues until December 3, 2015.

Consistency is the best preventative medicine.
by Nan Meek
Who better to ask for advice about dressage horse healthcare at shows than the veterinarian who helps the owners, riders and grooms of high performance equine athletes navigate the high-stakes health and performance labyrinth of international competition?
C. Mike Tomlinson, DVM, MBA, is known worldwide for his expertise as an FEI veterinarian. From the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles through last autumn's hurricane of a WEG, he's been involved at the highest level of equestrian sport. He's been Chef d'Equipe for the USET Endurance Team, USET Team Vet for numerous international competitions, and serves as a Course Director for the FEI (Federation Equestre Internationale) teaching veterinary courses for vets who serve as FEI officials.
Although unexpected events prevented me from attending the California Dressage Society's January symposium "For the Health of the Horse, For the Health of the Rider," where he was a panel speaker, I caught up with him by phone recently to get his perspective on competition dressage horse healthcare. His sound advice was given with kindness, compassion and humor as well as unmatched expertise.
"The CDS symposium audience was a very well-educated group, and they asked extremely good questions," Dr. Tomlinson remarked. "They certainly were not 'yes' or 'no' questions. Many of them had different ways of looking at the answers. We couldn't just say, 'well this is the answer'. We had to say 'well, you could do this, and this would be the pros and the cons, or you could do that and those would be the pros and the cons'."
He gave one amusing exception, however. "One person asked about using a certain medication and I simply said, 'That's not allowed'. But the vast majority of questions were very complex and involved. That's what you want at a symposium because it stimulates discussion."
I asked him about the issues he sees in his travels to horse shows all over the world, and his answer provided an entirely new perspective.
"Keep in mind that my viewpoint is very skewed, in that I see the horses when they get to the show. So if they have a problem, I don't see them." Contrast the horses he sees with your own vet, who sees horses at home usually when they have problems. Two different circumstances, both of tremendous value.
When I asked him about the most prevalent problems that he sees and how they can be avoided, his answer was surprisingly simple and relevant to any rider, at any level of any discipline.
"The number one thing that I see that can be improved is that people try to change things when they go to a show. The most important thing is, whether it is at a show around the corner from your stable or at your stable or at the Olympics, do the same thing. It's a show. Your horse does not know the difference. Don't make it know the difference."
He rated that number one because so many people get excited about going to a show and their excitement causes problems.
"It's generally not the horse's fault when accidents happen," he said. "Horses do hurt themselves, but they generally hurt themselves because we give them the opportunity.
You don't leave a baby in a room full of knives, and you shouldn't leave a young horse in a stall with a sharp edge on it. If you're bringing a horse that's absolutely crazy and climbing the walls to a show, then make doubly certain that the walls are safe! I rarely find that it's the horse's fault. Generally, it's bad luck. Having a horse stick his foot through a door that was perfectly good when you got there but somehow the accident happened – you know, there's an awful lot of just bad luck."
Of the problems that can be prevented, he emphasized that it's almost always because somebody changed something.
"What I want to be sure everybody understands is that most of the things that happen are simply bad luck. But, of those that can be prevented, they are almost always to do with somebody changing something. People think, 'Oh, I'm only going to change this' and then oops, something happens. Horses like it exactly the same today as it was yesterday."
He advised, "If you haven't tried it at home, don't try it here. So if you like a new feed, try it at home. If you have new cookies, try them at home. If you have a new pad, try it at home. If you have a beautiful new white show pad, try it the week before and make sure that your horse isn't allergic to it. No matter what you're going to do at the show, do it at home first."
What about the things he sees people doing at a show that he wishes they wouldn't do? His rueful laugh hinted at a world of examples.
"It really depends which level we're talking about," he replied. "At the very low levels, I see horses being transported in various conveyances that I wouldn't want to ride in, in ways that I wouldn't want to ride. On the other hand, I sometimes see horses dressed to the point where they can barely see their way out of what they're wearing. I see boots and two blankets and a hoodie and on and on so you can't even see the horse. Neither end is good, is it?"
He recommended that riders work with somebody who knows what they're doing and to learn how to trailer properly. "Trailer accidents, believe it or not, are one of the top problems," he revealed. "People arrive with a horse that's already hurt. You want to prevent that."
Boots Vs Wraps?
What about the boots versus wraps question? "I encourage people to use the right accoutrements for what they are trying to achieve. The number one thing, as far as splint boots are concerned, is people need to understand that splint boots are not capable of holding up the horse. So, if you are trying to use them to support the horse, then don't do that. You cannot do that. If you are trying to prevent the left leg from striking the right leg, use a good boot for that. If you're thinking his ligaments are a little loose or the footing is a little deep, don't use a boot for that. You can't fix footing with boots. The number one problem with boots is that people are using really nice boots for the wrong reason.
"If the intent is to keep the white lower leg clean, there's nothing better than a wrap. If the intent is to keep the leg warm, there's nothing better than a wrap. If the intent is to keep the bump on the splint from being hit by the other leg, then you want a split boot, a hard one. A wrap won't do it."
If the use of wraps versus boots is so clear, I wondered why this is still such an issue. "In general, a wrap is more appropriate for most of the things people are trying to do. The issue is that some people do not take the time to put the wrap on properly and then they get into trouble. A properly done wrap tells me that you're a much better horse person than an improperly put on boot."
There's a fine skill, and a world of experience, in doing wraps well, however. "The best grooms in the world do it all day long – they are just amazing, they can get a wrap on faster than I can. I want to say that those who can do it, and do it well, I respect – big time. But those who do it wrong, I get to see them, because their horses are the ones that I get to treat because of a wrap problem. Even if I see a horse for a wrap problem once a year, that's far too often."
Last but not least, I asked about how well (or poorly) the rules and restrictions about what is permitted at shows are understood.
"I would say that it is a constant struggle to educate people. It is a very difficult thing to understand," he replied. "The thing is – if something won't help, why would you use it? That's the catch-22. If something will change things, then you're not allowed to use it at a show. If a horse needs to be medicated, then what's he doing showing? He should be recuperating."
Calming an excited horse and dealing with intermittent lameness are two situations that face many riders at shows from time to time. "Generally, what we see is they're trying to replace training with chemicals," he said of the horses whose excitement results from inadequate preparation.
For a horse that has intermittent lameness issues, he recalled, "I showed a horse for years that was just a little bit off now and then, so I understand. You get to a show sometimes and think, 'with 2 grams of Bute he'd be fine'. But you know, I don't want to do that. It's very difficult to walk the fine line between what is appropriate and what isn't. So I totally understand when someone says 'Look, he was fine yesterday and he'll be fine tomorrow – can't I just give him a little something today?' Those are the toughies. When they're very lame or they have a cut or something, or some really good reason why they shouldn't be there, those are the horses that are so much easier just for me to say 'no'."
To sum up, Dr. Tomlinson's sound advice: If you have a sound horse going to a show, and the horse is perfectly fine when it arrives, change as little as possible.
A lifelong horse owner, Nan Meek lives on the scenic San Mateo County coast where dressage courts and riding trails overlook the Pacific Ocean. She competed in dressage to the Prix St. Georges level with her late beloved Lipizzan Andy (Maestoso II Athena II-1), and now practices the discipline of dressage with her handsome Spanish warmblood Helio Jerez 2000 and dotes on the newest family member Mischa (Neapolitano Angelica II-1). Yes, dressage is embedded in her DNA.

You don't have to be furnishing your vacation home in the Hamptons to consider using a design service. Maybe you are renovating your home, maybe the kids are going off to college, maybe your office needs an organizational makeover, or maybe you just want to try new color options. There are so many reasons why our complimentary design service could help.
With our free Design A Room program, you will get suggestions and professional configurations tailored to your specific space, style and budget.
We start the process by sending out a measure technician. The technician will schedule an appointment to visit your home or office. While there, the technician will take detailed measurements of the space and note any architectural structures and features. Photos will also be taken and shared with the designers in order to assist them in getting an understanding of the size and flow of your room.
You will be given a questionnaire to fill out and return that will guide the designer's suggestions and plans. This questionnaire is your opportunity to tell the designer about yourself and the people who share the space, the function or use of the room, style preferences and other important info that will help to ensure successful design plans.
Our designers use computerized software to create several configurations based on the information gathered from your measure and photos. You will come into the store to meet with a designer to discuss their suggestions. The plans will be done to scale and should give you a good idea of the design possibilities.
In the store you will see the items that are included in your design suggestions, test them out, check color or customize options, look at coordinating accents and area rugs for your consideration. Further adjustments can be made to the room plans if needed.
When you have the design that works for you, our designers will take care of your sale including ordering any special order items and coordinating delivery of your items. If you are having any painting or flooring work done in your space, be sure to have a timeline for the designer so they can plan accordingly. Ask your designer about special No Interest finance options if you are making a large purchase or just want the flexibility of paying over time.
Consider our free Design A Room program and get professional design help to complete that never ending project or to create the perfect space for you!

Donald Trump's success reveals a frightening weakness in American democracy
Ezra Klein on the lesson of the 2016 presidential campaign: A republic, if you can keep it. Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO Donald Trump's nearness to the presidency rests on two separate accomplishments — or, if you prefer, two separate institutional failures — that are often conflated.

But it's important to zoom out, and make a structural analysis of what allowed these things to happen. And believe it or not, that's where things get scary.
