Medical Device Manufacturers: BEWARE FAKE NEWS!
At some point, which could be 11pm BST on Friday 12th April, or perhaps a later date if the UK PM obtains her "short" extension, the UK could still fall over the Brexit "cliff edge" and lands with a bump, or perhaps a boom, of a no-deal/ hard Brexit. In anticipation of such an event, what should medical device manufacturers do?

URGENT: Actions to take before Brexit for medical device manufacturers
As we edge nearer to a potential exit of the UK from EU on 29th March 2019 without the UK parliament having agreed to a deal with the UK, the probability of the UK leaving the EU without a deal grows ever greater. If this occurs, there will be no cushion of a transition period for medical device manufacturers.

Brexit – How is it looking for Life Sciences Companies?
The UK government has this week published four reports indicating that market access for UK life sciences companies will not change during the Brexit implementation period of 29 March 2019 to 31 December 2020. So why are various pharmaceutical companies announcing plans to stockpile drugs in preparation for Brexit?

Chapter 2 in the Tale of Brexit, Medical Devices and MDR / IVDR: Suggestions for coping with the regulatory uncertainty
The UK is facing a perfect regulatory storm with the timing for Brexit and the staggered application of the various provisions of MDR and IVDR, with most of the provisions of the latter not being brought onto the UK statute book by the current draft of the EU (Withdrawal) Bill. Without clear guidance from the UK government on this point, it is difficult for medical device companies to know what to do to ensure that they might be able to continue to sell their devices on the market in the UK and the EU27 after Brexit. This post provides some ideas for how to cope with the uncertainty, ensuring you might prepare for the most favourable position in readiness for Brexit (scroll to section 4. at the bottom if you want the advice without the theory).

Brexit and the regulation in the Life Sciences sector: Where is it all heading?
The UK Life Sciences industry is waiting to see the Government's plans for product and other regulation: -will we go for a "soft" Brexit, largely following and harmonising with EU laws, or a "hard" Brexit, looking at a completely sovereign system: a British solution?

our next group of Marathoners is made up of Kristen Wilhelm, Michelle Hurt, Bryan Burrell, and Christine Burrell! learn more about them below – and we hope you'll pledge for one of them for Adopt My Run!
Kristen and Jonathan actually met back in college at the BSM and though they had a lot of mutual friends, they were more acquaintances than anything else. Kristen and Christa became good friends while being in the same home group. Kristen has a passion for missions and shares our love for Japan after she went on a short-term trip, spending time in Sendai where Jonathan and Christa both got to spend a couple of days on their recent trip. She loves spending time with her family, and during basketball season it is no secret she will be cheering on the Dallas Mavs. She is so much fun to be around and has such a heart to serve. Kristen currently works for Vista Academy as a kindergarten teacher (she's taught her class all about Japan-it's pretty cute). She has already been so supportive of our adoption process and we're thrilled to have her on the team!
Michelle and Jonathan also met back in college through the BSM, and they were actually building-neighbors at La Colina apartments back in 2006-07! Michelle and her husband Bryan live in Denton and have a cute little boy named Titus. Michelle works for the College of Music at UNT and loves being around all of the international students that the university brings to town! She has become quite an avid runner and is actually training for her first full marathon – the Dallas Marathon on December 8th of this year! So she and Jonathan will be running "together," though we can guarantee that her wardrobe will be better than his. We couldn't be happier to have her as one of our Marathoners for Adopt My Run!
Bryan is better known as "Uncle Bryan" to Christa and honestly, well, he's kind of a big goofball. He and his wife Christine (next to be introduced) live in San Angelo, Texas where they are regulars at the football field on Friday nights (Go Bobcats!). Bryan is what we call a "UPS Man" who obviously gets pretty busy this time of year. He is also into endurance challenges like "Tough Mudder," including getting shocked with electricity – in other words, logging 26.2 miles in a month seems a bit tame. He also loves to work with his hands, so there seems to be a remodel or project that requires tools going on often. He always has a smile on his face, a joke at the ready, and will do just about anything he can to help those he loves, so we're glad to have him as a Marathoner!
Christine is better known as "Aunt Chris" to Christa and somehow she ended up married to Bryan who also ropes her into those strange endurance challenges. We realized quickly when we were getting all of our marathoners up on our website, Aunt Chris apparently NEVER gets in front of a camera. Literally, all the pictures of her are of the back of her head. When she's not avoiding the camera, she is working at her alma mater, Angelo State University and serving faithfully at their church. She and Bryan love to travel any chance they get, and in the summertime you can find her relaxing in their beautiful pool and backyard. She does her best to keep her husband in line, and we are so glad to have her running those 26.2 miles for Baby J!
So there you have it friends! Show these marathoners some love by pledging for them RIGHT NOW before it's too late! Remember, this fundraiser only lasts the month of November.

Austria is an export country. This initiative was therefore launched in October 2002 for agricultural products, food and beverages. In 2005, this action was extended both to the fields of forestry and wood as well as to the environmental technologies sector. The successful action of the BMLFUW, Agrarmarkt Austria and the Austrian Economic Chamber supports companies with professional export know-how and accompanies them in the internationalization of their sales markets.
The aim of the export initiative environmental technologies in particular is to support this industry individually in the advancing internationalization, to use synergies and to concentrate activities. Since then Austrian companies have been successful in their export efforts. The goal is to achieve an export increase of 60 to 80 percent by 2020.
The objectives at a glance:
In 2015, Austrian companies (the production sector) sold environmental technology worth EUR 9.7 billion. Of this, some 72% were exported (compared with 2007: 65.7%). Export of environmental environmental technology has been sustainably strengthened by export-oriented environmental and energy technology.
Since the launch of this initiative in 2005, over 400 representatives of more than 200 companies have participated in this initiative. About 90% of these companies are small and medium-sized enterprises. Due to this success, the export initiative could be extended to other markets such as China, the UAE or the USA and Canada at an early stage. Overall, the export initiative environmental technologies has been operating in 15 countries since 2005.
For participating companies in the context of Austria, showcases and economic emissions were Talks with potential customers on the spot. At each station, in order to increase the public awareness of Austrian environmental technologies abroad and thus contribute to an increase in the export of Austrian environmental technologies in the medium term, business guides have been launched and distributed in the respective country language. Information on the performance of Austrian environmental technologies is available in German, English, Chinese, Russian and Persian. Further information can be found on the Internet at www.cleaner-production.eu and www.exportinitiative.at. In addition, further economic missions and Austria showcases will be held by the WKO and the environmental technology networks in the federal states. Since 2007 alone, more than 2680 companies have participated in 518 export-promoting WKO events.
From the awareness about the responsibility for the preservation of our nature in Austria arise numerous future innovations. Through global exports of domestic companies, our country enjoys an excellent reputation when it comes to ensuring quality, progress and conscious use of resources. Videos of "Best of Austria".

Knock Out
|Knocking Gun
|Debut Appearance
|Gourmet 4
|Episode 3
|[v · t · e]
Knocking (ノッキング Nokkingu) is a special, non-lethal method of capturing wild beasts. It generally involves striking the nerves or pressure points that control movement of living creatures with the use of specialized techniques or the use of biodegradable needles fired from various implements, known as Knocking Guns. This way any beast can be transported alive. However, the location of these nerves is different in every species, so a great amount of knowledge and experience is required to use Knocking techniques or Knocking Guns effectively.
Gourmet Hunters can also apply for a patent on the Knocking Method required for a specific creature.
The Knocking needles of Knocking Guns have a few varied uses as well. Specialized needles fired into the heart of a person or beast can start it beating again, allowing for the revival of the recently deceased. Knocking needles can also be used to stimulate a sudden increase in the power and size of muscles, rather than paralyzing them. Mansam and Jiro use this technique to cause their muscles to swell to enormous size, granting them great strength and a highly intimidating appearance.
Knocking can also be performed with one's body and without the aid of devices, but these techniques require an exorbitant amount of skill, power and precision and have only been performed by extremely powerful individuals.
Knocking can be applied to both living individuals/creatures and inanimate objects, the range depends on the skill level of the person preforming the knocking. In the case of Knocking Master Jiro he was able to knock a natural disaster and for a short time the entire planet.
Teppei is a master in this field, adopting it from his grandfather as his favourite style of combat. He is so skilled that he was said to live up to his grandfather's name. His knowledge about Knocking is very broad, as he was able to paralyze even rare insects and extremely accomplished combatants with anomalous bodies such as his index finger.
- Single Fingered Fork (Unnamed): Toriko uses his Fork hand, but to increase its piercing power and reduce its surface area uses his index finger. This move is first used on a Puffer Whale.[1]
- Impact Knocking (インパクトノッキング Inpakuto Nokkingu): Teppei is able to perform very precise knocking using his bare hands. The blows he lands are also very painful, compensating for the lack of true damage to the opponent. His Knocking appears to have various levels of intensity, that are named after the graduations of meat cooking.
- Medium (ミディアム Midiamu): A powerful blow to the celiac plexus that can paralyze the target completely. However, it is only partially effective against Tommyrod's insect ganglia.
- Well Done (ウェルダン Weru Dan): Teppei gives multiple strikes to the opponent's motor nerves that paralyze every muscle in their body.
- Intimidation Knocking (威嚇ノッキング Ikaku Nokkingu): Using two knocking guns, Jiro stimulates his own body to increase muscle mass and overall size. The purpose of this technique is to frighten off enemies without the need to fight.
- Grand Knocking (グランドノッキング Gurando Nokkingu): An unarmed Knocking technique, it is strong enough not only to perform Knocking on a large number of strong individuals but also to reduce the Earth's rotational speed to near stopping point. When performed, natural disasters happen due to the planet's rotation being slowed down.[2]
- Moxibustion Knocking (お灸ノッキング Okyū Nokkingu): An anime-only Knocking techique used by Ayame in which she uses a moxa on the back of her neck to revert her body back to its strong and youthful state.
- Damage Knocking (ダメージノッキング Damēji Nokkingu): Jiro applies his Knocking directly into an opponent's attack, instantly stopping the damage within his body while the rest of the opponent's attack simply goes past him.[3]
- Damage Knocking: Release (ダメージノッキング 解除 Damēji Nokkingu Kaijo): Acacia reaches inside an opponent and undoes any Damage Knocking, inflicting any accumulated damage all at once.[4]
- Knocking Breath (ノッキングブレス Nokkingu Buresu): Jiro applies Knocking with a forceful breath.[5]
- Secret Art: Knocking Time (奥義 ノッキングタイム Ōgi: Nokkingu Taimu): Jiro stops time with Knocking. The application of the Knocking is similar to Grand Knocking in that Jiro bashes the floor with his fist; however, it will only stop time on a smaller area and can be used more quickly.[6]
- Eternal Knocking (エターナルノッキン Etānaru Nokkin): Jiro applies unending Knocking to an opponent, causing them to permanently freeze as if they were frozen in time. This technique is hard on his own body.[7]
- Million Knocking (ミリオンノッキング Mirion Nokkingu): With incredible speed and precision, Jiro strikes an opponent a million times from every angle, allowing him to fully stop an opponent's movement. With extreme precision, he can choose any part of the body to allow movement for.[8]

Studio Scribbles is a pottery studio in Newmarket, Suffolk, offering 'paint your own' pottery sessions and parties, as well as personalised ceramic gifts. Liz Noble took over the company in 2012, and decided to replace the Studio Scribbles website in 2013 as it was difficult and costly to edit, as well as being incompatible with mobile devices.
Liz turned to bOnline to help create a new business website for Studio Scribbles. She chose the Business Plus package, which includes the use of advanced DIY SEO tools with step-by-step instructions.
Liz also chose to add on bOnline's professional design service. She said: "Working with the designer we developed the design together with the result being exactly what I wanted."
The new website is easy to edit at any time, and there are no additional charges for making changes. Unlike Studio Scribbles' previous website, the new site is also compatible with mobile devices.
Studio Scribbles now has a professional-looking website which is simple to manage.
Thanks to the built-in SEO tools, the website now ranks number one on Google search results for 'pottery studio in Newmarket' and 'personalised gifts in Newmarket'.
The website attracts more than 500 visitors per month, which has increased custom to the pottery studio.
Summing up her experience, Liz said "I'm very pleased with the site. bOnline were quick to respond, friendly and there to help when needed."

Korea I - Half a World Away
59 comments:
Thank you for sharing this with all of us. I have been thinking about you! I am really excited for you. I know what you mean about looking different, my husband and I moved to Japan just after getting married, he trained horses there. My oldest daughter was born in Japan. I love what you wrote! You are such an inspiration. Have a safe trip!
Take Care,
Oh lovely! I am praying for you and yours.ReplyDelete

What a thoughtful heart you have. Your children are lucky - not just to have a new family but to have parents that honor these "different" things about them. Have a safe trip and blessings to you all!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for letting us know how you are doing. I too have been thinking about you and wondering how it is going. What a wonderful moment when you will first lay eyes on your son. Praying for his transition and your safe return. Blessings.ReplyDelete
what an amazing experience. i am so excited for your family.ReplyDelete
I have been praying for you and wondering how your trip was going. I haven't been to Korea, but I went to China for business & completely understand what you are experiencing right now. I'll keep praying & can't wait to hear about your newly blessed son!ReplyDelete
Oh MY!ReplyDelete
This is so how I feel so many times a day. I love being part of something so much bigger than myself, don't you?
I can just imagine you there. Helka and I were talking about you today at the coffee shop and how excited we are for you. We have never met...you live in the USA and we live in Poland and we are praying for you as you pick up your son in Korea. We are definitely living in a global community!
Love to you and peace as you pick up your newest family member! YOu will be all he ever dreamed of...
Thank you for sharing this first part of your trip with us. You are such a lovely, lovely writer.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to hear about more of your trip and the newest spark in your family!!
How exciting! I prayed for you last night just as I was drifting off to sleep--or I should say, I was trying to pray for you--I was so fuzzy-headed that I couldn't remember your name, or your kids' names or anything! But I know that God knew my heart and that I was asking him to give you safely and a smooth transition time.ReplyDelete
Saying prayers for you and your sweet baby boy. I can't wait to see his precious face :)ReplyDelete
Praying for all your family right now... may God bless this part of your journey!ReplyDelete
I am so excited for you! This is a wonderful opportunity that God has given both you, your husband and your children. It is also nice that you get to experience your son's heritage firsthand.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to pictures of your newest blessing!
I was thinking of your family this morning...so I am so thrilled to read about how you all are...I cannot wait for the post you will have when you are finally together:)ReplyDelete
I love how aware you are of everything around you and you just taking it in
you must be on the edge of your seat! I am so excited for you. I pray that you manage to get some good rst before meeting your little boy. God is so good. Can not wait to hear how it goes.ReplyDelete
Praying for you.
Shannan, I didn't remember that Calvin was from South Korea too. Working on my family history over the last couple of years has made me realize how closely related we all really are. South Korea is so tiny....your wee boys might be biologically related!ReplyDelete
God bless your growing family. What a beautiful day!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this journey. Your words express so much emotion. It is beautiful & strong. God bless you on this new journey & on the wonderful memories you are tucking away to tell your children as they grow.ReplyDelete

I'm sure with the writing of your beautiful words you will never forget, and neither will we. You're so insightful, putting yourself in their shoes-if only we could all be more like that!ReplyDelete
I hope you are taking lots of pictures too-I'm so excited for you all.
What a lovely moment you are having and sharing it with all of us, its just so touching. It will be beautiful the moment you see him and hold him, I'm so excited for you!ReplyDelete
God sets us in families...isn't that a comforting thought! He planned your family for these children and vice versa!ReplyDelete
I am bubbling over with happiness for you!
You just had me tearing up at that post -- beautifully written. I'm so excited for your family!ReplyDelete
What an exciting journey for you - I can understand why you are unable to sleep with anticipation. Good luck and best wishes as you meet the newest member of your family!ReplyDelete
You write so beautifully, I feel like I'm right there holding your hand. What a happy time for you and your family, keep us posted!ReplyDelete
Wow Shanny! So eloquently put. You are such an inspiration. I'm wondering if it feels strange to be saying "my boys". What lovely words. I can't wait to hear more. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for word of what you are experiencing.ReplyDelete
I love this post as I love all your posts. I can't wait to "meet" little Silas and see how much your babies at home are going to love him.ReplyDelete
Smiles~ Michelle
oh, are they wearing jeans?
Oh my goodness, this post is precious. I am so excited for you and your family! Your children are so blessed that God placed them in your loving care. I'm saying prayers for you all!:)ReplyDelete
It seems like you are still down the road writing this - but you sooo aren't. I love hearing what you are experiencing. Praying for you guys.ReplyDelete
P.S. can't wait to see some of the pictures Cory takes :)
I can feel the anticipation and the excitement and I'm reliving the "foreign" feeling from the days in China before Lily came us. Praying for rest for you and Cory and for the perfect transition for Silas.
xoxo to you from across the world,
With tears in my own eyes I'm eager for you to soak up all you can and wrap it in your own (red ribbon) of life to share with my nephews in the years to come.ReplyDelete
God had a plan, and this is it!
Auntie Keisha
I found your blog a few months ago through some craft project you did. I've had you on my rss ever since. And today I was surprised to see this! We've adopted a little boy from Korea too. What agency are you using? HReplyDelete
Your writing and expressions are like poetry. Seoul has been good for your soul. Silas is so blessed. God is good.ReplyDelete
Wow...reading your post reminds me so much of our time in Chongqing, China 5 1/2 years ago, the night before we had Izzy in our arms. The anticipation moved through every inch of my being...I was soooo excited. Chongqing is highly populated, and I remember looking out our window and seeing layers upon layers of buildings and people, and new sites to absorb. It will forever be imprinted upon my heart.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see your next post...hopefully with your little guy in your arms! Get some sleep...there are many more days ahead with him to hold.
Thank you for sharing this glimpse with us. I have been wondering about how things are going.ReplyDelete
Bless you, Shannan. Thank you for sharing your beautiful heart.ReplyDelete
I don't know you. I stalk your blog and enjoy your writing. This entry really touched me. May God bless your sweet family.ReplyDelete
we have three,(so far), precious little ones that God placed in our hearts and lives. Each with their own story. I find myself praying and thinking of the brave women who made the very difficult decision to give them a chance for a wonderful life with you and Cory as their Mommy and Daddy. How they must have loved their babies and trusted God to make the decision they did. I will always keep them in my heart and pray for them.ReplyDelete
Your little ones have such a beautiful package wrapped in red ribbon in your blog writings. I do hope you have blurbed your incredible writings into a book. I can't believe you are a world away. Finally there. In my native country in which I have never even been. We are all experiencing with you and can't wait to see your first pictures of sweet Silas. Safe travels my friend. What an amazing journey.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful journey to be on! God Bless you during those first few precious days!! May you have safe travels and treasured moments! ;)ReplyDelete
Thinking of you guys...right now!!! Just realizing that you are probably meeting your sweet Silas...right now!!!! Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete

I loved your post...filling us in on your journey so far and preparing for the meeting with your baby. Oh, my heart races at the very thought, as we experienced the same feelings, when we got our son... it's undescribable! We continue to pray for your little family!ReplyDelete
Love wasn't put in our heart just to stay.....
Love isn't Love, 'till you give it away!!
I will say some prayers for you. I am an adopted Mom as well.....in a much different way. Thanks for sharing your emotional journey. Beautiful children!ReplyDelete
So excited for you! I do hope you plan to write a book. Your words are so inspiring and so true of a mother of adopted children. I have a hard time expressing that part of me to people but you do it so well.ReplyDelete

'Noise And Resistance: Voices From The DIY Underground'
In their angry and rousing documentary "Noise and Resistance", Francesca Araiza Andrade and Julia Ostertag
enter the centres of a vivid and vibrant, a rebellious and self-conscious scene. Be it squatters in Barcelona, anti-fascists in Moscow, Dutch trade unionists, the activists of England's Crass collective, queer trailer park inhabitants in Berlin, or Swedish girl punk bands, their music always expresses a collective self-assertion, a No! set to music whose slogan : Do it yourself! has become a strident 21st century "International".
"Noise and Resistance" is an inspiring journey through Europe's contemporary utopia, to subcultural places of desire where unity derives from autonomy along with the best punk sound you've heard for years.

ATV: Quad Power Racing is the late and lone entrant into the wonderful world of PlayStation racers. It certainly shares the distinction of being a four-wheeling racing game with none other. That is one humble boon I will certainly throw its way. After that, it's trash talkin' time. So let me dispense with the one thing about this title I certainly liked, and that was the interface. The interface in ATV: Quad Power Racing kinda' looks and runs like one of those Macromedia Web sites that you hate -- that is if you run anything less than a DSL/Cable modem or better. However, since this nifty interface is not on a modem, and it comes to you via your trusty and, in my case dusty, PlayStation -- it moves about at a nice clip. It is snappy, fancy and navigable. That is the interface I am referring to folks. The rest of the game is...well...awful?
It can't be that bad, you say! Well, truth be told it certainly can. This game screams early, pre-PlayStation 1 launch test-code. I actually pulled out some early racers for PlayStation, such as Road Rash to compare and ATV: Quad Power Racing ain't winnin', placin' or showin' folks. I am sorry to say so, but it is true. You know, the only thing that kept coming to my mind as I played this beast was a line from the movie Apocalypse Now, "The Horror! The Horror!"
Now, I have never, ever used this word in a game review, but I am going to digress, regress and address this very clearly: This game sucks! There, I said it. So why does it suck Fabian? I'll tell ya.
After the neat-o-rama interface you are greeted with a standard set of choices an options, including Time Attack, Single Race, Two-Player, Championship and the normal game tweaks for music, sound effects, controller configuration and all that jazz. Then, you choose from a set of characters that have about as much character development as a Beginning Readers book. I mean you just don't know Jack$#!+ about these people. Well, you do know what race they are by their skin tone. Moreover, their names Samuel Stone, Mitzi Chen and Heather Gold lend some sort of miniscule flare, but that's about it. Then you choose between one of two available ATVs, take your pick on the Automatic or Manual transmission and then its off to one of three [initial] locales for some nauseating racing. If you can call it racing at all.
On the track you get a choice of camera angles that includes the requisite first-person driver's view. Surprisingly, this view is quite playable despite the host of maladies the game hosts. Even at the starting line you can really get a feel for what you are in for with this title. The look of the game is poor at best, though the color palette is not all that off the mark. It is the quality of the textures and the ugly way in which this game renders itself that will make you feel like you just pissed away some good change.
The frame rate is all over the place, based upon the view distance and the number of players on-screen, to the point that it quickly becomes comical to watch in action. That is if you can stop the urge to heave as you negotiate the terrain. There is also so much 'chop' in this title that Miyagi would want to train the developers for the next Karate Kid flick. Seams pop up all over the place. Somebody call a tailor! And the texture detail is downright criminal.
Now I realize that, with this being the first four-wheel racer, it postures the title as a first-generation effort. But with all the other titles under Acclaim's belt, you would think it could have incorporated something old, something new, something borrowed and already it could have something blue. If it sounds like I am trying to find things to say about this game you are right. I really want to avoid standing on my desk shouting, "Crap, Garbage, Crap." I know that sounds harsh, but I gotta level with you peeps, so you won't want to lynch me when you buy this and say, "Fiddlesticks...Fabian made me do it." Give me a break, I really am trying to keep this clean.
As far as the levels and difficulty go, the game has 12 tracks and there are shortcuts to be found. Alternate, professional routes are available as well, but those are coned-off until you graduate your sorry@ss rider from the Amateur ranks. Now here is a funny thing that comes to mind, did you know that you actually have more grip and traction in the snow than on dry land? Did you know that you can go through a whole race in First Place only to have one tap in the butt slow you to the point you finish sixth? But never fear as newer, faster ATVs can be unlocked as you win races. That should do the trick right? Wrong! This game has little to know balance, very poor racing AI and never really gets past go...or is that Start?!
The music in this game sounds like the stuff Austin Powers would leave behind at the music store. Actually, as I progressed through this game I started to really understand something important. Most of the sounds were lackluster and the fervent desire I had developed to cuss the daylights out of Doug Perry [EIC, IGNPSX and IGNPS2] were totally induced by the hypnotic drone of the music in this game. Sorry Doug, but I am cured now...thank goodness. If Roger Ebert were doing this part of the review he would offer, "Two Thumbs...Way Inside Ears!"
I ain't getting' cranky in my old age, I just expect more from the developers and publishers when it comes to anything they offer the consumer that costs money. The damn game should, at least, be fun right? If any other company has tackled trying to do a 4-wheel racer and has met with similar results, I can understand why this one is billed as, "...the only Quad racer in the world, period." Perhaps this means that unlike, Quarterback Club 2000 and 2001, they won't actually try this again? Well, let's hope for now anyway. We'll see what they can do to revive this lame duck next time.

If you haven't edited a long piece before, then tackling the first draft of a novel can look like a nigh impossible task. You're not just making sure four or five paragraphs flow together coherently – you're analyzing a lengthy narrative and shaping it into its final form. A critical part of this process will be deleting language that does not work or does not matter to your reader. However, it takes some practice before you develop a sense of when and where to cut language. In the meanwhile, try to ask some or all of these questions about every paragraph you read.
- Which parts of the story would be hard to understand without this information?
- How is this information leading the reader through the story?
- What kind of information are you giving the reader here? Is it plot exposition? Character development? A description of a cake that the heroine is having for dessert?
- Where else in the narrative can the reader get this information?
If you are not able to answer the first two questions, then you should probably delete the passage you're asking about. Half the purpose of editing is the removal of unnecessary information which adds nothing to the story.
It's not so simple to evaluate a passage based on your answer to the last two questions. Sometimes, we need to convey information like the rich chocolate flavor of the cake, even if the handsome stranger already told us about it when he ordered it for her from across the room. The latter two questions are more useful for comparing the importance of two passages than for quickly flagging unneeded language for removal.
Examining all of your paragraphs this closely may seem arduous, but you'll be surprised at how quickly you learn to scrutinize your writing and spot passages that it doesn't need. By analyzing your paragraphs' role in your story and evaluating their importance, you can make great progress on editing even a very lengthy work.

I literally spent the evening EatingMyWayThru Hokusei and their 9 course meal. It's not the first time I have eaten at Hokusei, which is why when I saw a Portland Food Adventures (PFA) for them, I knew I needed to jump on it. What was about to make this night special was getting talk with the Chef Ishii and have him explain some dishes and giving him a chance to show off, if you will. We were able to experience some dishes that aren't on the menu, plus many that were. Some were just variations of what might be on the menu.
When you first arrive at any PFA you are greeted by a drink and some social time. That's right PFA's are all about meeting new people that love food as much as you. Once you have a drink you will find your way to a menu that will have your name on it, that becomes your tasting place for the evening, and those around you will become your new friends.
This was a night of dishes coming out and not stopping, I mean it was 9 courses after all. Each one a little different. One actually contained gold. I had never had that before, so that was a treat.
Chris Angelus, the brains behind Portland Food Adventures, takes time each PFA and talks about the restaurant and introduces the team. It's just fun. Usually when you dine out you see everyone, but you never get to meet them and hear their story.
When I saw Sea Bass on the menu I got super excited. The first and last time I had sea bass was at another PFA. This one was incredible, nice and sweet but a soy sauce giving that sweet and salt taste.
The New York strip was fabulous. I won't lie, it really tested my chop stick skills, but I would not give up until I ate every last bite of this amazingly tender dish. Not only was it tender, but it burst with flavor. Everyone at our table agreed it wasn't enough, we all wanted more, lots more of this dish.
Even though the steak was fabulous, the dish I was most excited about was the assorted fish with rice. Chef Cody was cutting up fish, not just some fish, like 7-8 different kinds of fish. After this meticulous work was done he took it in the back and came out with this gem. By now I was stuffed, but I didn't care. And if I thought the steak was making me master my chop sticks, the rice would really test me. I didn't care, I would finish this. It was a little embarrassing as I did power through this dish. FANTASTIC!!! There is something similar on the menu, but we all told them to add this dish.
Every dish was great. The company was good, the drinks that were paired with every single dish were also very good and a fun variety. Overall it was another very successful Portland Food Adventure.
If you are interested in checking this restaurant and want to know what it's like on a normal night check out my review. We loved this place. All the info you need is on the post.
For now, I need to go for run so I can be ready for my next Eating adventure, because I am sure there will be more. Be sure to check out Portland Food Adventures for upcoming events. The next one looks pretty awesome, so grab your ticket before it's too late.

Three Cheese Italian Rigatoni Pie
Do you get into a pasta slump in your household? I find there's only so many times you can have spaghetti and spaghetti sauce without wanting to switch it up. Which is why I totally jumped on board when I saw this recipe for Italian rigatoni pie from Noble Pig. You use a spring-form pan, stand up all the rigatoni noodles in it and suddenly you have a new and exciting way to serve pasta!
- 1 pound Rigatoni
- 1 jar of your favourite pasta sauce (approximately 2.5 cups, give or take. If it's slightly more or less, just use it all)
- ½ cup of water
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound ground beef or ground pork
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 container cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese)
- 1 large egg
- 1-1/2 to 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- Cook the Rigatoni in a large pot of salted, boiling water. Make sure you use enough water because the rigatoni sucks up a lot. Cook it about 1 minute less than the package directions so it is still hard enough to stand up. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water.
- Toss pasta with 1 Tablespoon of oil to prevent it from sticking. Then add the parmesan cheese and toss until the cheese is evenly distributed. Set aside.
- In a large frying pan, brown the ground beef in 1 Tablespoon of oil. Drain away the fat once it's cooked.
- Add the jar of pasta sauce and water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for at least 20 minutes. The longer you simmer the better. Just make sure you add more water if it all boils off.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Mix together the container of cottage cheese and the egg. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease a 9 inch sprinform pan.
- Take the cooked rigatoni and stand each piece up on its end in the pan. Continue until the whole pan is tightly packed.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the rigatoni and spread evenly over all the noodles.
- Pour the meat mixture over top and spread evenly over the noodles. Use your finger to poke the meat and cheese mixture down into the noodles. The more patience you have with this step, the better it will be.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 400F.
- Remove from the oven and top with the mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for another 15 minutes at 400F.
- Let stand for 10 minutes then run a knife around the edge of the pan to help remove the springform pan.

This is a very old entry — images are small, formatting is off.
Reviewed Aug. 31, 2009 by Armin
Industry /
Like most of us here, I have been following the IKEA debacle over the switch from its proprietary Futura to the egalitarian Verdana as the corporate type family used from catalogs to store signage across the world. First spotted at Typophile, then dissected at idsgn, the news finally made it to Time magazine and an online petition to revert has garnered over 3,000 signatures. The main complaint, that serves as objective leverage, is that Verdana was designed — by Matthew Carter for Microsoft — to be used on screen and at small sizes, something it exceeded at, but the underlying current in the uproar is that designers and type designers seem to subjectively hate Verdana, perhaps not for its design but for what it stands for: The homogeneity of typography in the hands of the masses. Sure, Verdana looks weird and out of place in a catalog and on store signs but I really don't believe it is that far-fetched and in some cases it even manages to look oddly avant-garde. Verdana is not Futura, but for the time being it does look like it's the future.

Bavarian Beauty
Set within the heart of vivacious Edinburgh, Bierkeller has undergone an internal refurbishment of its former site, situated on the lower floor within the renowned Frankenstein venue. From a design perspective, the project commenced in March 2015, with architectural practice J A Leask Architects starting onsite in September. The refurbishments were finalised and the venue opened its doors to the public in October 2015.
The Bierkeller at Frankenstein's is a traditional German beer cellar that can accommodate party goers and regular punters alike. Delivering top party tunes, the venue also brings an Oompah band to get everybody in the spirit with its German songs featuring a modern twist. Open until 1am on weekdays and 2am at the weekends, the venue promises a great night filled with drinking, dancing and debauchery!
Architectural and design practice, J A Leask Architects, carried out the interior design, architecture and project management of the project at Bierkeller Edinburgh. The venue itself presents four floors; however the improvements only took place on the lower storey, where Bierkeller is situated.
In order to discuss the company's involvement with the project, Premier Hospitality spoke with Michael Kelman, at J A Leask Architects, who said:
"The existing venue itself was a Frankenstein bar with a Bierkeller underneath, and the entire budget was £200,000. We completely reworked the space within the dated building, creating a flexible space that presents high quality finishes and an attractive Bavarian themed design.
"The building wasn't used to its full capacity; it wasn't fully established as a Bierkeller as the design didn't really reflect the typical Bierkeller, it portrayed more of a Frankenstein theme. Since the overhaul, the venue clearly has its own personal identity and this has been referenced with elements such as branding and external signage.
Bierkeller Edinburgh is a stand alone operation however it does draw reference and pay homage to the Frankenstein theme. For example, the copper, green LED lighting and graphics are subtle hints, and even the fact that the beer is served in Steins – there are several elements that tie the two venues together successfully.
Distressed stained pine was incorporated for the backdrop at the venue, to impart a rustic, aged and natural feel to the space, complimented with pastel walls and a mixture of reclaimed and brand new pine and hardwood flooring, as well as reclaimed green marble tiles. This works alongside dynamic green LED lighting set behind the panelling and palettes of green – adding to the continuation of the Frankenstein theme throughout the venue.
According to Michael:
"The feedback has all been very positive and it seems that the new Bierkeller has been very well received by everyone. The comments that we have had are all very encouraging.
"The Bierkeller is effectively a venue within a venue!"
Lovers of German beer can choose to enjoy three draught beers served in the distinctive Steins, or choose from ten types of bottled beers. Also on offer are the stein cocktails, schnapps and culinary favourites including bratwurst, schnitzel and apple strudel.
A condensed yet delicious menu offers a range of dishes without the hassle of indecision. Starters on the menu include soup of the day, bruschetta and BBQ chicken wings. Appetising mains feature on the menu such as the steak burger, Franken-furter, chicken Caesar salad, Cajun chicken breast and a vegetable option of halloumi and vegetable skewers. For dessert, diners can choose from refreshing key lime tart, sumptuous chocolate brownie, and ice cream.
Fantastically, the space can cater for both larger events and smaller gatherings, in the form of general drinking, social events, parties and anything else you can think of. Ingeniously, the space was designed with an approach to flexibility in order to ensure that this venue would attract a wide audience.
Guests can book their own table, area or booths within the Bierkeller at Frankenstein's Pub making it ideal for stags and hens, group bookers and nights out with friends. A number of packages are available for guests ranging in price and what they entail, such as free entry, table service, food and beverages.
Featuring two staged areas, Bierkeller Edinburgh maintains the brand's typical bar-feel with the encouragement of drinking and dancing on the tables in a boisterous fashion, boasting a great sense of energy and exuberance. However the great thing about this particular venue is that it also serves as an ideal place for dining – again due to the flexibility of the space. This notion allows for a perfectly smooth transition from day to night.
Impressive large photo-printed wallpaper greets guests in two of the vaults, displaying Bavarian themed images such as the famous Neuschwanstein Castle that has been printed onto a wallpaper roughly 2.5 metres high. This is placed onto the back wall of the vault, and appears to look as if guests are actually at the castle from one of the stand points.
There is a great sense of authenticity about the place, with the use of natural reclaimed materials such as reclaimed timber and tiles, delivering the feel of a spectacular Bavarian beer vault. Despite this, a clean and polished effect is still emanated within the venue, with the integration of polished concrete flooring and fascia to the bar and a copper clad bar, promoting clean lines and juxtaposing against the rustic design elements.
Michael added:
"It has been absolutely fantastic – it was great to be part of such an institutional building, Frankenstein is very well known within Edinburgh, Scotland, nationally and worldwide!
"It was a privilege to work with all of the different people involved and we feel that we have made a positive contribution to the space and we have maximised its potential. Bierkeller Edinburgh is most definitely a wonderful new space with its own individual identity."
Hugh Stirling
Hugh Stirling specialise in fit out and refurbishment in the hospitality industry. The company have been in operation for around 40 years and in this time have worked with a number of prestigious brands including JD Weatherspoons, Manorview Hotels and Hawthorn Leisure.
Working on Bier Keller, Hugh Stirling were the main contractors and were therefore responsible for delivery of the complete refurbishment and fit out including the manufacturing of the bar counters and feature furniture.
Angus Alston at Hugh Stirling said:
"The Bier Kelling was a challenging project as it had to be delivered with a very short lead-in and on a restricted budget within a restricted closure period. We were keen to demonstrate to Glendola what we could deliver in terms of quality, value and timescale. Glendola were delighted with the result."

What's Hot Today
IFC has acquired the complete series of Judd Apatow's Emmỷ̨-winning high school comedy "Freaks and Geeks" (18 episodes) and college spinoff "Undeclared" (17 episodes) from Paramount Pictures Corporation. These two cult TV hits helped launch the careers of Jay Baruchel, Jenna Fischer, James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jason Segel, among other young stars. "Freaks and Geeks" will premiere on IFC on Friday, July 2 at 11 pm, et/pt, and encore on Mondays at 11 pm and Sundays at 10 pm. "Undeclared" will debut on IFC this fall. A previously unaired episode of "Undeclared" will make its U.S. television debut on IFC. To Read More Click Here .
Before Judd Apatow: big-time movie producer, there was Judd Apatow: super-awesome TV producer. The thing is, nobody realized that Judd Apatow was a super-awesome TV producer until his TV shows ( Freaks and Geeks , Undeclared ) were off of the air. Neither show survived an entire season (though Freaks and Geeks in particular has established itself as a cult classic in its DVD afterlife). You may have forgotten, but Jason Segel appeared in both of those little gems. He was one of the main characters in Freaks and Geeks (Nick Andopolis, the stoner "freak" who was madly in love with Linda Cardellini's "geek turned freak" character, Lindsay Weir) as well as a supporting character in Undeclared (the copy-shop managing, long-distance boyfriend of main character Lizzie). Jason Segel has finally found more mainstream success - playing Marshall on CBS's How I Met Your Mother and playing the lead in Apatow's upcoming Forgetting Sarah Marshall - but it is kind of fun to watch him shine in one of his earlier performances.

Find the Best Accommodation Deals
Many travellers are searching for Things To Do With Your Khao Lak, Average people take average vacations and you do not seem to be the type of person who wants an average vacation. If you wanted an average vacation, you would not Google things to do in Khao Lak. Khao Lak is a vacation spot for people who love adventure, who love excitement, who love luxury and who love the great outdoors. If this describes the kind of person you are, the Khao Lak is the perfect city for you. If you are a boring person who wants to do the same routine things that you've done every vacation, then this is not the city for you. Only adventurers need apply. You can find Things To Do With Your Khao Lak travel information.
Searching for Things To Do With Your Khao Lak. sai tai bus terminal Mekpufah Apartment Chiangmai Backpack House hualamphong train MALALA Resort iCheck inn Sukhumvit 19
Things To Do With Your Khao Lak, One thing with regards to a great city and just what it gives you like a vacationer is it permits you to truly name your adventure. By naming your adventure we mean that there are plenty of things you can do, a range of experiences available that anyone can create their ideal vacation in the city. Not everybody wants the exact same thing after they continue vacation. We all have different vacation styles like we all have different personalities. There is not any wrong way to vacation and there's no one-size-fits-all experience. Once you name your adventure you choose the type of vacation that fits your personality and therefore even taps to the aspirational facets of who you would like to be. Therefore it isn't nearly who you go to vacation as but that you can be while you're on vacation, and exactly how that transforms your daily life. A holiday can be very transformative and might leave an effect to you all through your daily life. For many of us, this is why we travel. We travel to become a new, to refresh us, to get rid of the anxiety of our own lives, to have out to the world and have physical, to see stuff that we cannot see in your local environment.
So a vacation represents many different points to a number of teams of people. Whenever you visit a town such as this one there's an abundance of things to do. You'll find that can be done very cultural things like visit a museum intake from the arts, you may go head to the beach if you want to, you may rent a scooter and travel all around the city and all to the backward places at the same time, you may engage in different types of sports, you will find all sorts of outdoor activities to accomplish. You can even go to a spy and relax every single day that you are here. No matter what you're seeking within a vacation you will find it in the city.
So the goal of articles such as this must not be just to lay out a list of things or places that you must go. Instead you must concentrate on what you're truly seeking. I notice you within all honesty that all the standard places of interest you will discover, all the sort of luxury travel things which you may seek out you will discover, you will find spots, you'll find Temple, you'll find strategies to be spiritual, you'll find strategies to exercise outside and ingest outside air, you could do aquatic adventures, it is possible to swing coming from a tree, that can be done just about anything that you wish to do on the vacation here. Therefore we don't care about giving you a summary of activities to do because as soon as you get here you can expect to find out the kind of vacation that you want to get. You discover all of the statues and all the stuff that you would like to take an image before the share with your friends and relatives. But you also find more. You could find yourself finding whom you really are and you might end up with a truly transformative experience but it's all your decision to obtain that and to find out what it truly means to you. So to us a trip this is not about jumping on a plane and head to somewhere diverse from where you're from this is approximately more than this. It is actually about carry it every one of the spirit in the traveler. There is a saying that you can travel without having to be well traveled. And there is a major distinction involving the two. There's something to state about visiting a area in developing a superficial experience versus likely to devote becoming truly immersed in a different culture. If there's anything that we can direct anyone to do during vacation that may be to adopt and everything as well as become one with all the environment. That may be how you will have the ultimate time over a visit to a town such as this one.
So name your adventure and grow it. Things To Do With Your Khao Lak

FROM JASON'S HOPE FOR THE FUTURE — Humans are a bunch of idiots. We're barely even smart monkeys. Want some proof?
Pork sales dropped by almost half when the "swine flu" made headlines. George Lucas cast both Jake LLoyd and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. The McCain-Palin ticket got 59.9 million votes in November 2008. Decca Records refused to sign The Beatles to the label in 1962. People choose to sky-dive.
Tom Hanks turned down the lead roles in Field of Dreams, The Shawshank Redemption, and Jerry Maguire. A man who in 2007 robbed a Kansas City Family Dollar tried to make his getaway from police via a city bus. Ross Perot had a chance in 1979 to buy Microsoft for mere millions of dollars and passed it up.
The good news is that we're getting smarter. I recently stumbled across the Wikipedia article on the Flynn Effect, named after James Flynn, Emeritus Professor of Political Studies at the University of Otago in New Zealand. His research shows intelligence quotients in much of the civilized world continue to rise year over year by three points per decade.
I thank Pac-Man.
Now, I'm not suggesting that the l'il yellow guy take all the credit for the big jump in human progress. But let's just think about the evolution of games of the past three decades.
Do you remember the Atari 2600? That glorious hunk of wood-paneled junk was my go-to machine for much of my happy childhood — back when a color television was still considered a luxury and you could rent a VCR from your corner video store. The game titles were not zeniths of strategy. You bounced a four-bit block between two paddles in Pong. In Space Invaders, you had two directions to move and one direction to fire. Pole Position had you negotiating gentle turns… once in a while.
The 2600 had one button.
Let's explore, by way of contrast, some modern games:
In Left 4 Dead, my game of the year, you have to coordinate with four other players to strategically clear hordes of zombies using multiple firearms and incendiary devices in a dynamic 3D playing area, securing certain strongholds and using classical war techniques such as bottle-necking, construction of kill-zones, triage, fire walls, safe rooms, and sniper nests to stay alive in a destructible environment, often overcoming attacks by unpredictable hordes and special-class zombies.
Oblivion lets players loose in a 16-square-mile fantasy sandbox game world with dynamic time and weather events, with more than 1000 characters to interact with, and just as many monsters. Players choose to become one of 10 races and 21 classes, each with customizable skillsets, weapons, armor, statistics, and backstories. In addition to the world-spanning and epic main plot, there are 220 side quests, making for hundreds of hours of exploration, goals, and rewards.
Age of Empires III pits eight competing European colonial powers against each other in a real-time strategy rush to conquer the New World circa 1492 to 1850. Players control up to 200 combined military and domestic units each and can build 20 different building types, each granting various abilities, resources, upgrades, and tactical advantages as opponents square off in huge melees with competing objectives for victory.
That's a little more complex than jumping over Donkey Kong's falling barrels, isn't it? And kids today have no problem running roughshod through these games, barely stopping for breath before moving on to the next new release.
I mean, these kids with their new-fangled games and their mad skillz make me feel like a frickin' retard. And I'm part of the Information Age generation, despite my white hairs. I hate to think how much like dinosaurs my grandparents feel; my wife's grandmother didn't even have a telephone until she was a teenager.
No wonder kids are getting smarter. Look how much more demanding their entertainment is — today's video games challenge them to think more laterally and do far more in-depth problem solving than freeze tag, passive TV-watching, baseball, or checkers ever did.
Gamers think differently than non-gamers, a July article in Neuropsychologia says (according to some guy on the Internet. I didn't actually read it). Video games change how players allocate their attention, testing proved, forcing them to set priorities, discard irrelevant information fed to them in the game, respond more quickly to targets, and pick up better on in-game cues.
ABC News reported in 2005 that a University of Rochester study showed gamers scored 13 percent higher than non-gamers when asked to count the number of squares that flashed on a screen for a 20th of a second.
A now-famous 2003 study in Nature quoted the same university's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, saying video games improve visual skills. Four experiments, including the one mentioned above, showed habitual gamers outperformed their non-gaming counterparts. A fifth showed that non-gamers improved after sitting down in front of the screen to play.
Hell, my mom can't even figure out Tetris, and Guitar Hero (on easy) destroyed my dad. Yet I've seen perfectly average six-year-olds pick up Pokemon Platinum and start kicking ass. I think the correlation is perfectly clear.
I'm not saying I'm going to deprive my kids of a good game of basketball in the driveway to force them to play, say, NBA Jam. But in the face of the evidence, I'm not going to lie to them and say the vidjagames will rot their brains.

Is 'meditation' still a taboo word or has it become fashionable? Perhaps it's somewhere in-between at present. I asked around about people's thoughts / experiences and this is some of what they said: PENNY ALEXANDER - ALEXANDER RESIDENCE. I always thought it was much more involved and complex than it actually is, that I would have to go to classes for weeks. I finally read a very short guide that came free in The Guardian when I was ill at Christmas and realised how simple and effective … [Read more...]
Awareness is the Key.
'Meditation.' Let's take a look at that word before we start. We can skirt around it, make it complicated or embrace it. It has certain connotations that might involve sitting cross legged in the middle of a lotus leaf and making strange 'Om' sounds, but the truth is simpler. It is really allowing oneself the luxury and power of a still mind. Once you've cracked how to sit quietly and breathe more deeply than most of us do, running around like a headless chicken more often than not, then … [Read more...]
Grief Can Make You Fat.
We all grieve. There are varying degrees and some of it can be mind-numbingly shockingly awful, completely consuming and life-changing, but the only permanent thing in life is 'Change' so we are all grieving sometimes, but at different levels. Grief itself has well documented stages - Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. We can get stuck at any one of these at any time, fluctuate between them all and endure an entire emotional catalogue to boot too. When we have lost … [Read more...]

Polypropylene Carbonate (PPC), a copolymer of carbon dioxide and propylene oxide, is a thermoplastic material. Catalysts like zinc glutamate are used in polymerization. Polypropylene Carbonate is soluble in polar solvents like lower ketenes, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and chlorinated hydrocarbons and insoluble in solvents like alcohols, water, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. It also forms stable emulsions in water. PPC allows the diffusion of gases like oxygen through it. Having a glass temperature (Tg) between 25 to 45 °C, PPC binders are amorphous.
