|Conrad Johnson Premier 18LS AV Preamplifier
|Thursday, 01 May 2003
Page 1 of 2Introduction
Over the last 25 years, Conrad-Johnson has earned a reputation for its mastery of the art of tube-based amplifier design. Many of their amplifiers and preamplifiers have received considerable praise from music lovers and AV industry professionals alike. As a statement piece, Conrad-Johnson's ultra-expensive ART preamplifier has earned its way into some of the world's absolute finest music playback systems.
Until now, if you wanted a reference quality preamplifier from CJ, you had no choice but to deal with the maintenance and cost associated with tubes. Conrad-Johnson has released a new solid-state preamplifier, the Premier 18LS, in an attempt to satisfy those in love with CJ's sound who simply are not willing and/or able to deal with the unavoidable hassles associated with owning a high-performance tube component.
At $3,495, the Premier 18LS is the least expensive preamplifier in the Premier series. Even so, CJ spared no expense. As with all of the Premier preamplifiers, CJ uses a single-ended zero negative feedback circuit design, full of the highest quality parts available. These include polypropylene and polystyrene capacitors, as well as laser-trimmed metal foil resistors. The amplification circuit in the 18LS is based on field effect transistors (FETs). Conrad-Johnson believes that FETs sound more like tubes because they also tend to produce only even-ordered harmonic distortion. CJ puts great emphasis on an optimized power supply, which is said to minimize impedance at even the highest frequencies. CJ also employs a discrete resistor-ladder volume control with 100 incremental steps of 0.7 dB each, instead of the typical potentiometer, which is inherently noisy.
The 18LS is a line-stage-only preamplifier, so a separate phono stage will be required for those with turntables. Otherwise, the 18LS has inputs for tuner, CD, video, aux/phono and aux 2. In addition, it has two loops for external processors (EPL), such as theater processors or equalizers. Only a single pair of main line outputs is provided. Additionally, a full function remote control is included. The 18LS measures 15.25 inches deep, 19 inches wide and 3.31 inches high, weighing 16 pounds. The look and feel of the unit is just what you'd expect from an audiophile electronics manufacturer. The component is built like a tank, with looks to match. I personally feel that although this look is solid and professional, it has become dated. Those wishing to integrate this piece into modern décor may have issues with its appearance. The unit is constructed with a combination of black powder-coated extruded aluminum sides, black semi-gloss heavy gauge steel top, bottom and back, and a gold anodized machined aluminum faceplate. The faceplate has two distinct textures. Approximately one-fourth of the faceplate on the left side has a brushed finish, while the remaining three-quarters have a matte finish, slightly recessed. The two areas are separated by a machined groove that curves in an arc pattern from top to bottom. The display consists of a pair of circular two-digit gold numerical LEDs to indicate volume level, and individual LEDs for each source to indicate when they are selected. Controls on the front panel include buttons for source, mute, level up and down, theater loop, and EPL. The rear panel carries gold-plated, machined single-ended connectors for inputs and outputs, as well as a receptacle for a detachable power cord. The Premier 18LS provides single-ended I/O and does not provide balanced connectors. The remote is made from a machined aluminum block and has a simple layout with durable feeling buttons. Did I mention that it is built like a tank?
As you might expect for a two-channel preamp, set up and operation are pretty straightforward. I used the 18LS mostly for two-channel listening, but I also ran my theater processor through it. I connected my Muse Model II/ Theta Data Basic combo to the CD input of the 18LS. I ran the main outputs for the theater processor into the video input on the preamp, without using either of the processor loops that were available. I used both the Linn Twin and Classe CA150 for amplification; my Revel F30s played the main speaker role.

The Dimensions of Big Data
Today, analysts seek to derive insight from large, heterogeneous, high-velocity (i.e., big) data sets using varying data analysis methods. These data sets are ubiquitous. They arise due to burgeoning cloud computing services, the anticipated Internet of Services (IoS), and the emerging Internet of Things (IoT). Big data is often defined as any data set that cannot be handled using today's widely available mainstream solutions, techniques, and technologies.

This is a Must Try! These Big Fat Blueberry Muffins are amazing. They taste great and the small amount of calories in these things are crazy. You seriously will not believe me after you taste these that there are only 137 calories in one. I know I didn't and I really still have a hard time believing it because they are so good and so big. They would make the perfect snack to take for a work breakfast/party or even a girls night in.
My sister made these muffins this weekend when she hosted a jewelry party through me. Thanks Heather!!! She said it actually made 8 muffins instead of 6 just because she couldn't get anymore batter in the muffin pan. This is the second time she made them and she said she had the same problem both times. I guess this is a good thing because it just means less calories per muffin and they are still super huge.
I have eaten one every day since Saturday. I one for breakfasts today with a little spray butter. It was awesome and so filling. I also ate a bowl of watermelon with it. Can you tell who got to take the leftovers home? :)
Big Fat Blueberry Muffins:
From: "Hungry Girl 200 under 200"
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup of fresh blueberries
1/2 cup light vanilla soy milk
1/4 cup sugar-free pancake syrup
1/4 cup fat free liquid egg substitute
1/4 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
3 Tablespoons brown sugar
2 Tablespoons light whipped butter or light buttery spread, room temp.
2 Tablespoons no sugar added applesauce (get Mott's Blueberry Delight if you can find it!)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt, stirring until mixed well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy milk, syrup, egg substitute, butter, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, mix until thoroughly blended. Do not worry if butter bits do not break up completely.
Add dry ingredients in the first mixing bowl to wet ingredients in the large mixing bowl an mix until completely blended. Then fold in blueberries.
Line a 6 cup muffin pan (or half a 12 cup pan) with baking liner (I don't recommend this) or spray (I recommend). Evenly distribute batter among the 6 cups.
Bake in the oven for about 22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Enjoy!

I forgot to mention that they are just 2 P's or even less if you make more then 6 muffins.

They look good. 137 calories is really great for a muffin. I printed the recipe, and I'll be giving it a try. Over half the ingredients is stuff I don't have on hand, or I'd make them now. I bet you could make a double batch and they'd freeze. I wonder if you could use frozen blueberries?

Oh wow, I'm saving this recipe! Nutrisystem has something that they call blueberry muffins, but everybody refers to them as gut bombs. That's if they're being nice!!

The living room is one place that needs special attention for homeowners. What if the dream house you have quite small with a small size but want to keep the living room ..? when guests are visiting only a few people and not long we can use the front porch to receive the guest. Terrace made clean for the guests to feel comfortable to communicate, so we should create a terrace with a slightly different touch. For example, creating the impression of natural and beautiful, the use of wood in the furniture color, or coat the floor with a carpet can also be done. Added with ornamental plants in flower pots, either suspended or placed on a table or chair to the porch look more fresh.
Tip of the two, we can collaborate function room and family room. Combining both we can implement because sometimes the guests who visit less frequently. Since the arrival of house guests rather than an activity carried out every day. Guests are usually people who come closest family, relatives.
If guests are not visiting, that space could be used into the family room. Usually we gather with family at night to watch a television show or the other. Because it has two functions, we recommend the placement of furniture and other accessories are able to answer the needs of the room. Furniture and goods should be the key to the comfort room.

LOOSE RULES FOR OUR ATTENTIONPosted by Ken Baumann @ 11:28 pm on June 28th, 2013
As I get older, sicker, and more beset with claims on my attention, I find myself dreaming up simple rules for gracefully consuming my way through the world. As a person reliant on deeply industrialized and entangled societies for money, food, medicine and entertainment, I find that simple tricks help me feel sane. Heuristics are useful when navigating complex systems, be it 21st century America or your personal ethics.
The following rules of thumb might help if you feel overwhelmed with the incomprehensible amount of interesting culture to eat and be eaten by. Because books are the media that I chase and covet the most, I'll use them here. Altering the immortal words of Gale: "So many books, so little time."
1. When in doubt, don't read it.
Err on the side of omission. You might die tomorrow—hell, you might die tonight—and wouldn't you regret it if you slogged through fifty more pages of some book that just feels serviceable?
2. If the author's a bigot, don't read it.
This applies to Mein Kampf all the way down to that writer that said "I just can't fuck any more NYU students with Jim Morrison posters on their wall." With so much potentially transcendent literature written by not-immediately-obvious-assholes just waiting in libraries and in book stores, feel free to judge with severe intolerance.
3. If it's new, don't read it.
Like evolution, time is a critic without aim, but there's a lot of literature that has been retold, copied, salvaged and painfully rebuilt because it's wildly powerful or innovative to most people that engage it. The newer the book you're reading, the more likely it'll be buried by the sands of time.* Lately, I've been reading mostly ancient literature and looming works from a few centuries ago, and I'm having trouble returning to contemporary stuff. But this difficulty feels nice.
4. If it's news, don't read it.
The really important stuff will become hard to avoid, anyway, so no need to bury yourself in the miasma of information that'll soon be the noise of history.
5. If it's billed as "theory", don't read it.
Like all of these loose rules, there are so many exceptions. But a lot of works of theory that I've read exist solely up their own assholes, which would be fine if they felt fun or stimulating. But so much theory—so much of everything, according to Sturgeon's Law—is a waste of time if you're looking for empiricism or induction or beauty or simple, practical philosophy. In the day and age of fat-tailed distribution, I'd go one further on Sturgeon and say that 99% of everything is crap. Some days this idea feels liberating, some days it's doom.
6. If it's described as a "meditation on memory and loss", or something similar, don't read it.
Again: exceptions!
7. If it's mostly well-reviewed, don't read it.
If most people think it's pretty good, that means it's forgettable. I find myself rereading the books that are loved by a small group of people and hated—or dismissed—by everyone else. Don't know why, but again: it feels right. Plus it gives me something to push against.
8. If you're fifty pages in and you're bored, don't read it.
Books can be put down, sold back, given away. It feels great to relieve your attention of a bit of its future bondage.
And now the big and obvious additives:
A. If your friend wrote it, read it.
A recurring anxiety: I die before I've read my friends' books, before telling them how great they are, before thanking them.
B. If you can't help yourself, read it.
Curiosity is the slave driver.
These rules have helped me feel less overwhelmed and wasteful, but like any codified principles, please dismiss them at whim.
Watch out for paper cuts, and good luck.
* Please use this as an excuse to not read my books, if you're looking for one.

A Sport Pilot Certificate enables you to fly certain aircraft with a less rigorous training curriculum than a standard private pilot certificate. After obtaining your rating, you will be able to fly yourself and one other passenger during daylight hours in most U.S. airspace below 10,000 feet.
Driver's license and the student pilot certificate:
- The Sport Pilot rule allows a pilot to fly light sport aircraft without the need for an FAA medical certificate. However, a sport pilot must hold at least a current and valid U.S. driver's license in order to exercise this privilege. The only exceptions are for operations in a glider or balloon, which does not require a driver's license.
- A person using a current and valid U.S. driver's license must comply with each restriction and limitation imposed by that person's U.S. driver's license and any judicial or administrative order applying to the operation of a motor vehicle. That person must also meet the requirements of 14 CFR 61.23(c)(2), which states the following:
- Have been found eligible for the issuance of at least a third class airman certificate at the time of his or her most recent application (if the person has applied for a medical certificate);
- Not have had his or her most recently issued medical certificate (if the person has held a medical certificate) suspended or revoked or most recent Authorization for a Special Issuance of a Medical Certificate withdrawn; and
- Not know or have reason to know of any medical condition that would make that person unable to operate a light sport aircraft in a safe manner.

I don't mind the heat occasionally but I'm with you. It can be too much at times 🙂
"Everything you need to do to transform your life is easy to do. It's easy to become healthy, fit and vibrant. It's easy to become financially independent. It's easy to have a happy family and a life rich with meaningful friendships. It's just a matter of mastering the mundane – of repeating simple little disciplines, that done consistently over time, will add up to the very biggest accomplishments."
~Jeff Olson, The Slight Edge
Over the weekend, I attended my first Baptiste Yoga training, Advanced Art of Assisting. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Baptiste is a completely different style of yoga than I have practiced and it was refreshing. I found that I enjoyed the playful, adventurous nature of the students and the type of practice (heated, power yoga). In a hot room with a full yoga practice going on with 35 other students, taking yourself too seriously or overthinking becomes unattainable. Getting through becomes the only goal; not getting through in the most expressive version of the pose but just getting through in whatever modified pose or position you can manage to attain. It was quite honestly, a bit of a revolution for me.
I not only learned about the practice of hot yoga, but I also learned more about my own alignment and how much more yoga there is to experience! I came away with a few subtle shifts that dramatically changed my practice and will eventually change my body in a better, healthier way.
I also learned that I had some preconceived notions that weren't exactly accurate. I will be honest, I was hesitant to fully endorse the practice of hot yoga. I felt that it was too extreme to be completely healthy for the body. After experiencing it firsthand, I am "warming" up to it. I don't think I will practice heated yoga as my regular practice, but as a way to get out of my head and just challenge my body, I will throw it into the mix.
The weekend yoga sessions actually took me back to my martial arts days. When we trained for Taekwondo, we trained hard and my teacher always heated the room somewhat. We practiced in full uniform and it was not unlike heated yoga. In some ways, the trip down memory lane brought back some difficult memories for me but also reminded me of just how tough I can be.
How will you subtly shift your focus this week? Perhaps you have some preconceived notions that are holding you back. Maybe the only way to figure out if your thoughts are accurate is to dive in and see for yourself.
Have a great week!
Namaste & Pilsung,
I have been practicing hot yoga too! The studio had an intro offer for a month so I've been going for 2 weeks now. I've never been into hot yoga…the last time I took it was Bikram years ago and it was unbearable. This time around (at another studio) they don't keep the temp as hot, but it still makes me sweat buckets (I look like I've jumped into the swimming pool!). I'll stick to it for the rest of the 30 days, but I don't think I'll continue with hot yoga. I like to sweat, but the intensity with the heat is too much for me.

A Hypomanic Nation?
Energy, drive, cockeyed optimism, entrepreneurial and religious
zeal, Yankee ingenuity, messianism, and arrogance—these
traits have long been attributed to an "American character."
But given how closely they overlap with the hypomanic profile,
they might be better understood as expressions of an American
temperament, shaped in large part by our rich concentration
of hypomanic genes.
If a scientist wanted to design a giant petri dish with all
right nutrients to make hypomanic genius flourish, he would
be hard-pressed to imagine a better natural experiment than
America. A "nation of immigrants" represents a
highly skewed and unusual "self-selected" population.
Do men and women who risk everything to leap into a new world
differ temperamentally from those who stay home? It would
be surprising if they didn't. "Immigrants are
unusual people," wrote James Jaspers in Restless Nation.
Only one out of a hundred people emigrate, and they tend to
be imbued "with special drive, ambition and talent."
A small empirical literature suggests that there are elevated
rates of manic-depressive disorder among immigrants, regardless
of what country they are moving from or to.17 America, a nation
of immigrants, has higher rates of mania than every other
country studied (with the possible exception of New Zealand,
which topped the United States in one study). In fact, the
top three countries with the most manics—America, New
Zealand, and Canada—are all nations of immigrants. Asian
countries such as Taiwan and South Korea, which have absorbed
very few immigrants, have the lowest rates of bipolar disorder.
Europe is in the middle, in both its rate of immigrant absorption
and its rate of mania.18 As expected, the percentage of immigrants
in a population correlates with the percentage of manics in
their gene pool.
While we have no cross-cultural studies of hypomania, we
can infer that we would find increased levels of hypomania
among immigrant-rich nations like America, since mania and
hypomania run together in the same families. Hypomanics are
ideally suited by temperament to become immigrants. If you
are an impulsive, optimistic, high-energy risk taker, you
are more likely to undertake a project that requires a lot
of energy, entails a lot of risk, and might seem daunting
if you thought about it too much. America has drawn hypomanics
like a magnet. This wide-open land with seemingly infinite
horizons has been a giant Rorschach on which they could project
their oversized fantasies of success, an irresistible attraction
for restless, ambitious people feeling hemmed in by native
lands with comparatively fewer opportunities.
Alexis de Tocqueville, a Frenchman who traveled throughout
America in the 1830s, was among the first to define the American
character. He found us to be "restless in the midst
of abundance," and the proof was that we were always
moving. Tocqueville was astonished to meet people moving from
east to west and west to east. That so many people would surrender
the comfort and safety of their home in pursuit of an "ideal"
struck him as odd. And we are still the most voluntarily mobile
people on Earth. The average American changes residences every
five years—more often than the inhabitants of any other
nation. We change jobs more frequently, too.19 Tocqueville
"found an entire people racing full speed ahead, and
we've kept on racing for more than three hundred years,"
wrote Michael Ledeen in Tocqueville on American Character.

West Palm Beach has taken a stand against North Carolina's new law that bans local governments from passing local anti-discrimination ordinances.
Mayor Jeri Muoio on Monday, at the urging of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council, banned West Palm employees from traveling to North Carolina on city business.
"Until North Carolina's discriminatory law is amended or repealed, West Palm Beach taxpayers will not subsidize legally-sanctioned discrimination against LGBT people," Muoio said.
The bill, signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory last week, also requires that transgender residents use only the public restrooms of their biological sex.
Retired judge Rand Hoch, president of the Human Rights Council, lauded Muoio's action. "North Carolina's leaders have struck down local LGBT-inclusive discrimination ordinances and have prohibited the enactment of similar laws forever," Hoch said.
Last year Muoio announced a similar travel ban to the state of Indiana, protesting a new state law there being criticized nationwide as anti-gay and anti-civil rights. That state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act subsequently was amended to specify that it could not be used as a legal defense to discriminate against patrons based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Today I am sharing another Scalloped Circle Easel Card. Today I am featuring a cute Sasayaki Glitter Digital Stamp that I colored up for November 1st New Release. The image is called Christmas Fish. I thought the shape of the fish bowl complimented the shape of my Scalloped Card pretty well.
I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Canson Mi Tientes Cardstock and accented with some handmade poinsettias and greenery from my stash, along with some sequins, fun patterned paper and some ribbons. Here is a closeup of the colored image and sentiment.
Like all my other Scalloped Circle Cards, I used the SVG that I designed in Adobe Illustrator along with a sentiment that I designed as well. I do hope that you will come back later this week (Possibly this weekend) to see how you can get my SVG for free!
Here is the original colored image for Sasayaki Glitter and as always for more super cute images, challenges, freebies, and inspiration check out the Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Blog and Facebook Group.
Thanks for reading! Have a Great Day!

Won't bring me downWednesday, October 19, 2011
Have you ever feel like somehow you just don't belong anywhere and no one understands you? I don't know, I've been feeling miserable these past few days, thinking what should I do to make everything right, figuring what to do, I even don't know what I really wanted. I just wanna be home right now, I mean 'home' is hometown where I can meet my family! Even though I got nothing to do there, but it does feel good to be home, right?
Finally getting my hands on this book. Quite surprised that the blonde salad, fashion toast, style scrapbook, etc is NOT in this book.
The outerwear is from Australian local brand called Wish. Bought it when I was studying in Sydney, I remember I found this at greenwood plaza(a mall near my school in north sydney) after a tiring class. Don't you just love how it drapes well?

The weather is frigid which means everyone needs more scarfs. In that vain, RJ DeLuise is here to warm up your heart and share my thoughts and measured opinions regarding the current state of Chaotic Wrestling. Woburn hosts the final live event before Cold Fury XIV this coming Friday February 20th.
On the Freeway to the Fury, the final stop in Woburn will be Colder than the other side of Mark Shurman's bed. Shurman takes on the Kingpin Brian Milonas in a heavyweight battle filled with intrigue. Slade and Shurman (the original Team Friendship) tried to force Milonas out of their inner circle of jerks from the beginning. Now former multi-time heavyweight Champions will collide in Woburn. The only Shur Thing in this match will be DeLuise Disaster for Team Fakeship.
The current heavyweight Champion Donovan Dijak is chock full of DeLuise Delightitude. He's athletic, massive, and becoming more technically sound every time out. Only problem? He faces The War-Beard Hanson in Woburn. The spin-kicking, cartwheel clotheslining, flying bearded beasty is a veteran to be feared and respected. It's a dangerous DeLuise Decision to step to the Beard of War, so lace up your boots, Champ.
JThrill makes my all-time DeLuise DeLight Dream Team. The manly-ness of a Biff Busick, the athleticism of three Logans, the charisma of, well, a certain chunky chatterbox (spoiler alert: ME) all combine to create a scientific specimen rarely seen but often strived for. I'm no DeLuise Dink, the MMMPOWerful Preston has to get past Julian Starr in Woburn. Starr has had some of his biggest moments during Cold Fury season and is primed to Push Preston to his limits (if he has any). DeLuise DeLights in store for the fanboys (and girls) in Woburn!
I know you missed these blogs. Call me Cogswell cuz I'm the boss of these cogs.
Until next time, may all your DeLights be DeLuise,
RJ DeLuise

Grasslands/Separating Species catalogue arrives
"THIS CATALOG DOCUMENTS A TWO-PART EXHIBITION that has sprung from the work of Michael Berman, a current Guggenheim Fellow, who is both esteemed in the contemporary art
world and a longtime activist with several environmental organizations.
Berman's current series of photographs, titled Grasslands, is about the endangered Chihuahuan Desert grasslands in New Mexico, Texas and the northern border of Mexico, where he has wandered into the desert without a compass to, in his words, "live deliberately." He believes that how you see the land comes down to what you value. "I believe art has a greater potential for meaning when it serves some purpose. People have started to recognize these lands as significant and this is something art can help along. If anything, my work is to generate small symbols that reveal the greater complexity of things."
Inspired by his Grasslands series, guest curator Mary Anne Redding has assembled a concurrent exhibition, Separating Species, that includes a remarkable group of artists, all of whom delve into land in diverse ways that illuminate our relationship to our fragile ecosystems, highlighting our interconnectedness with the environment and non-human species. Krista Elrick examines North American birds; Dana Fritz looks at plants and animals in engineered indoor landscape environments; Jo Whaley creates theatrical still life images of insects and humans; and David Taylor's images of border monuments along the US/Mexico border explore the effect of border control on both humans and animals.
It is a great pleasure for 516 ARTS to host Grasslands /Separating Species, the culminating exhibition in our space for the six-month series of programs for LAND/ART."

LAND/ART is a collaborative state-wide project hosted by numerous New Mexico arts organizations, all organized by the 516 Gallery in Albuquerque and running through the summer and fall of 2009. LAND/ART explores relationships of land, art and community through exhibitions, site-specific art works, lectures, performances, tours, excursions, film, poetry and several weekend symposiums (see below). Focusing on "environmental" or "land" art, the collaboration seeks to address our changing relationship to nature, and to offer new or previously unconsidered understandings of the place in which we live. The months-long project with culminate with a book, published by Radius Books and available in December, 2009.
LAND/ART features over 60 diverse local, national and international artists. It is the culmination and documentation of the exhibition, and features the work of such artists as Michael Berman, Erika Blumenfeld, David Taylor, Basia Irland, Patrick Dougherty, Catalina Delgado Trunk, and Shelley Niro. There is an introduction by Bill Gilbert and Kathleen Shields along with essays by Lucy Lippard, William L. Fox, Nancy Marie Mithlo and MaLin Wilson. (To pre-order a copy, click here.)
The first exhibition as part of LAND/ART NM 2009 is Here & There: Seeing New Ground, up until July 11, 2009 at the 516 Gallery in Albuquerque, NM. This exhibition features contemporary artists examining the landscape from perspectives that are both visual and cultural, including explorations of Native American film, as well as Native and non-Native artists who subvert landscape perspective to examine issues of the environment and human beings' relationship with nature. Through photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, print, film and installation, these artists offer interpretations of the land and landscape both within and without human interaction.

|Front Country Camping in
Nova Scotia's
Provincial, Regional & National Parks
Nova Scotia has two National and several dozen Provincial Parks, the majority of which offer camping. The front country campgrounds vary from neighbourly open spaces to heavily wooded sites such as those in Kejimkujic. A large number of the Provincial parks are located along the Province's shores.
|This of course hints at the vast number of sandy beaches in the Province. The parks along the Northumberland Straight (Sunrise Trail, Northeastern) take advantage of the warmest waters north of the Carolinas. Mountain bikers will love the trails in Cape Breton Highlands and Kejimkujic National Park. Paddlers have probably picked up on Kejimkujic's reputation for canoe camping. Kejimkujic along with Cape Chignecto are probably the best destinations for serious backpackers, while hikers will be pleased to find trails in almost every park in the Province. Expert sea kayakers can take advantage of the waters of Cape Chignecto, Five Islands and Cape Breton.

I love food, everybody loves food. I hope one day I will be able to write about it more elaborately. So I'll use the help of their website to help me talk about this place. The recipes here and classic French dishes are inspired by the Grand cafes of Europe. A new menu (that I was lucky to try already) was conceived by Executive Chef Chris King, in partnership with Chez Roux (their famous Roux At The Landau elegant restaurant, which was featured in the Bradley Cooper film "Burnt"). The delicacies include 'Salade Perigourdine', 'Spit-roast coquelet à la bière', 'Praline profiteroles' (absolutely delicious) and much more.
When I walk in, the lovely restaurant hostess already knows who I am, and I'm shocked (once again haha). She says she can speak Russian if I want to, and I gladly start asking her questions about her life in England (as I usually do, when I meet someone from Russia or former Soviet Republics who now lives here). She shows me the menus and introduces me to my server, so I continue chatting to him, this time in English. I tell him I'll order later, as I'm still waiting for my friend to arrive. I am left alone at the table (with a glass of champagne to keep me company) and instead of looking at the menu, I start looking around, noticing the elegant modern chandeliers, soft beige couches and chairs. There's a few tables with people having dinner as well, so I awkwardly smile and finally decide to look through the menu. Then my friend arrives. I tell her about the restaurant and the menu and she also has a glass of champagne. We order.
Palm Court lobster salad
Everything tastes absolutely amazing, the presentation is impeccable, the service is fantastic, my friend and I had a nice little chat with the lovely staff at Palm Court, and the food feels even better.
Here we are enjoying our dinner and taking pictures of course! We both didn't take cameras to the restaurant, so here are our phone pictures.
(Pictured: Laku Davies)
Of course we had dessert too! When we ordered the famed Praline Profiteroles Langham No. 150 with chocolate sauce, we hit jackpot!
We have thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and left fabulously happy.
A side note (a very important one though): Palm Court is famous because that's where the tradition of afternoon tea was born. 150 years ago Palm Court has served the first afternoon tea and has been doing so since. If you're there around Easter, I suggest you go there and try it for me, because I can't be in London in a month time, unfortunately. Be sure to try their selection of tea blends, cakes, beautiful pastries, scrumptious scones and delicate finger sandwiches, created by Cherish Finden, The Global Chef Award winner 2015 and UK Pastry Chef of the Year 2012.
Here's Palm Court website: http://palm-court.co.uk/
And here's a link to their famed afternoon tea
Thank you, Langham, for having me and my friend xx

During the last ten years I was able to see and experience the works of contemporary local artists as a part of the space where I worked and, for some time, arranged. As an architect, I was intrigued by the question of how to arrange the works so to be in harmony in a given space, how to balance them to "breathe" together, and even more – how the same art work can make different people feel joy, laugh or make them mad.
It occurred to me that it would be great if contemporary art could be accessible to everyone, not only to a narrow circle of collectors and professionals / art historians.
This is why I have created this online shop and gallery, where you can buy art you will love to put in your interior. We try to inspire you, to help you make the best possible decision, choose the art that suits you best and create magnificent personal space.
We believe that art deserves a place in our homes, offices, cafes, restaurants, hotels, and that everyone can find the piece which will make their heart jump with joy every time they see it.
Whether you are creating a combination for your room or an office space, restaurant or a hotel, we are here to help you come up with the best possible solution.

UFO hunters find 'alien warrior statue on Mars'
UFO hunters are convinced they have finally found evidence of life on Mars after discovering what they believe to be evidence of an ancient warrior's hat.
Alien enthusiasts have been scouring pictures of the surface of Mars and believe they have found the proof they've been looking for.
Joe White, 45, a space video journalist from Bristol, looked through images from the Curiosity Rover and said he has found images of a fallen statue which look like the head of an ancient warrior woman.
Mr White wrote in a video description on his YouTube channel ArtAlienTV – MARSZOO: "I found what seems to be a small feminine looking statue head on Mars in Gale Crater in this recent Curiosity Rover image from NASA.
"Only a few inches in size or less.
UFO hunters find 'alien warrior statue on Mars'
"It resembles a carved depiction of a female warrior wearing a helmet similar to some found on Earth from the middle ages.
"It has a possible emblem on the forehead and some very interesting facial features that look almost Egyptian in artistic style.
"This is one of hundreds of similar artefacts that I have found on Mars in recent years and may go further to show that there was an ancient and artistic civilisation on Mars in the past.
"The question is how long ago?"
The warrior head statue
Some of Mr White's followers were convinced it was a statue.
Lauren Piantino wrote: "Definitely a statue of a head, side on. No mistake about it! whether it's a female head, or a male head is hard to tell really."
World of Retro Gameplay added: "That is definitely a statue head."
However, others believe it is a part of a phenomenon known as pareidolia.
Pareidolia is when the brain tricks the eyes into seeing familiar objects or shapes, such as animals or faces in textures or patterns, such as clouds or the surface of a rock.
Pha Q wrote: "Most likely a rock that looks kind of like a face. Not entirely out of the realm of possibility."

The effects of storms and storm-generated currents on sand beaches in Southern Maine, USA
Marine Geology
By: H.W. Hill, J.T. Kelley, D.F. Belknap, and S.M. Dickson
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
Storms are one of the most important controls on the cycle of erosion and accretion on beaches. Current meters placed in shoreface locations of Saco Bay and Wells Embayment, ME, recorded bottom currents during the winter months of 2000 and 2001, while teams of volunteers profiled the topography of nearby beaches. Coupling offshore meteorological and beach profile data made it possible to determine the response of nine beaches in southern Maine to various oceanographic and meteorological conditions. The beaches selected for profiling ranged from pristine to completely developed and permitted further examination of the role of seawalls on the response of beaches to storms. Current meters documented three unique types of storms: frontal passages, southwest storms, and northeast storms. In general, the current meter results indicate that frontal passages and southwest storms were responsible for bringing sediment towards the shore, while northeast storms resulted in a net movement of sediment away from the beach. During the 1999-2000 winter, there were a greater percentage of frontal passages and southwest storms, while during the 2000-2001 winter, there were more northeast storms. The sediment that was transported landward during the 1999-2000 winter was reworked into the berm along moderately and highly developed beaches during the next summer. A northeast storm on March 5-6, 2001, resulted in currents in excess of 1 m s-1 and wave heights that reached six meters. The storm persisted over 10 high tides and caused coastal flooding and property damage. Topographic profiles made before and after the storm demonstrate that developed beaches experienced a loss of sediment volume during the storm, while sediment was redistributed along the profile on moderately developed and undeveloped beaches. Two months after the storm, the profiles along the developed beaches had not reached their pre-storm elevation. In comparison, the moderately developed and undeveloped beaches reached and exceeded their pre-storm elevation and began to show berm buildup characteristic of the summer months. ?? 2004 Elsevier B.V.

You may ask what is the difference between a regular cleanser and an Anti-Aging cleanser? The main difference is in the ingredients that help to create smoother and brighter skin. Anti-aging cleansers focus not only on cleansing, but also on improving your skin's texture. Anti-aging cleansers brighten your skin and help to diminish age spots. They also hydrate your skin, creating smoother skin. Many anti-aging cleansers contain antioxidants, which help to guard your skin from environmental aggressors. A good anti aging cleanser improves your skin's overall appearance and texture with continued use.
It is important to also understand that you may need to use a combination of cleansers. Your daytime cleanser can be a little more gentle than your night time cleanser. In the morning when you wash your face, you are only focusing on riding your skin of excess oils that accumulate during your sleep. At night you have a lot more to clean, including makeup, environmental residue and excess oil. Below we have highlighted some of our favorite anti-aging cleansers. Finding the right cleanser for your skin will make a huge difference and truly transform its texture and feel.
Here's some of the best products on our list:
- Estee Lauder Re Nutriv Hydrating Foam Cleanser. This is a gently hydrating foam cleanser for all skin types. If you are one of those people that like foaming cleansers this is a must try anti-aging cleanser for you. The Re Nutriv line is a great line for those who want to maintain their skin plump, firm and youthful. Re Nutrive Foam cleanser will leave your skin refreshed, cleansed, and looking absolutely radiant.
- Kanebo Sensai Silk Purifying Cleansing Oil is second on our list of best anti-aging cleansers. This cleanser is created for all skin types. Many believe that a cleansing oil works best for those who have dry skin, however this is simply a skin myth. Cleansing oils work well for all skin types. They are wonderful moisturizers, easily dissolve makeup and leave your skin radiant every time. We love the Kenebo Sensai Cleansing oil because it is extra gentle and not excessively oily. Some oil cleansers can be a bit oily, leaving your skin shiny; this cleanser will not do that. You will only notice smooth and healthy skin that feels extra soft.
- Our last pick for best anti-aging cleansers is Clarins Anti-Pollution Cleansing Milk Apline Herbs & Moringa. Created for those with normal to dry skin, this anti-aging wonder helps protect your skin from the damage of the environment. Pollutants and other environemtnal aggressors are extremely bad for our skin. They leave our skin dry and create fine lines and rough skin. This cleanser helps to thoroughly cleanse your skin and leave it protected from further environmental damage. Very few anti-aging cleansers offer this type of protection. It also enhances your skin's smoothness and leaves your skin hydrated all day long.
If you are looking for a new cleanser, do not forget to look at these amazing anti aging cleansers. Remember that cleansing is the first step towards younger looking skin!

On October 1st, we participated in the second annual SOL Food Festival in Santa Barbara, California. This festival is more than just a celebration of Sustainable, Organic and Local food. The goal is to delight and educate. It was in this spirit that we were challenged by the event organizers to come up with a fun activity where people might actually learn something. The outcome?
SOL Food Jeopardy
For 8 hours we hosted virtually non-stop jeopardy games. Dina's voice was the only thing slowing us down!
I attended the SOL Food Festival last year with my hubby and daughter. One of the big draws was Iron Chef, Cat Cora, doing a food demo on the main stage. When we arrived at the park across from the Saturday Santa Barbara Farmers Market we were greeted by a full-feathered, free-roaming turkey (looking suspiciously like the pied piper with his entourage of about 20 kids following his every move). To the right was the ostrich pen which housed 4 baby ostriches. Not a site to be missed. Behind them, the coolest geometrically shaped chicken coop I've ever seen.
Born from the minds of two incredible women, Alison Hensley and Heather Hartley, the festival pays homage to real food – that which is Sustainable, Organic and Local (hence then name SOL) and this year is the second annual event. One of our missions at Be Food Smart is to educate people about food. This is also the mission of the SOL Food Festival which is why I've been attending their planning meetings for the past few months. If you are in driving distance of Santa Barbara, support this great cause and join us.
