Seattle... Bill and I were on the ground less than three hours when we met our first collector, Karen Swanson, in Olympia, Washington. We quickly finished our dinners at Coco's, as we were anxious to begin trading pens. Our waitresses and the manager even got in on the act! I was sorry to hear Karen would not be attending the Saturday meeting. She left me with the promise of an Emerald Downs pen and I just received word she has one in hand. We drove through a little bit of rain on our way into Seattle. That was the last drop we would see for the duration of our vacation.
The Museum of Flight kept Bill busy while I met with the women at Topline to discuss the progress of our collector's pen. LuPita, Sandy, Beth, Mindy, Susan and Freddie were wonderful. This is a company of women, by women. A very impressive operation. My visit was absolutely delightful. Good news about the pen to follow... read on.
Saturday May 10th at 2:00 Bill and I claimed two tables at the Grand Central Bakery, in the heart of Pioneer Square. I propped a sign up on the pen box and then patiently watched and waited. Leslie Galavan and Lesley Gill were the first to arrive. They presented me with a beautiful handmade card that featured a pocket full of miniature paper float pens. As if that wasn't enough... they gave me a stunning Seattle t-shirt! Just moments later, Stacy Kaye, accompanied by boyfriend Mike, joined us.
The Bakery proved the perfect space for our gathering. It didn't take long for all of us to begin shuffling pens. A young man, in a big hurry, passed our table. Turns out he is also a float pen collector. There must be hundreds of us. Another woman stopped to say she collects Pez. Takes all kinds.
Float pen collectors are an exuberant bunch! We couldn't talk fast enough. Leslie is lobbying to have a Starbucks pen made. I understand she now has a distributor onboard and Starbucks has been presented with the idea. As a coffee lover, this is very exciting news. The only thing we ran out of was time. We said our goodbyes and went our separate ways just after 4pm.
My aim was true and led me straight to Ruby Montana's Pinto Pony. Ruby tells me she is thinking about two new pen designs. One must include Louie, the little black dog that charms her customers at the store. The other is still under mental construction. Ruby is now on-line. Visit the store at 603 Second Ave, Seattle, WA 98104 Ruby's website is still under construction, but her home page is up. (NOTE: Ruby's went out of business early in 2001.)
A customer overheard our float pen conversation. She stepped forward to say she had been sent to Ruby's to purchase pens for a very serious California collector. When I asked the name of this collector, she said 'Elizabeth Spatz'. Is the world getting smaller, or are we just getting more mobile? Maybe a little of both! Libby, you should be proud of Lisa. She is a fine scout.
I was thrilled to find a Cyber Cafe within three blocks of our motel. It enabled me to say hello and keep in touch with family and some of my on-line traders. A luxury that I would later miss. In the future, I will research cyber cafe locations on the net before leaving home!
On Mother's Day, May 11, Bill and I made our way to Sea-Tac airport and departed for San Francisco.
City by the Bay... We hit the ground running. I couldn't wait to meet my fellow collectors at the famous Ghirardelli Square. We rushed to the hotel, tore open our bags. I needed to repack essentials for the big meeting! Bill and I bussed down to the Square and inhaled a quick lunch at the Pegasus Cafe, where the meeting would take place. Then we waited. Nancy Nerenberg arrived right at 4:00.
Nancy and I jokingly decided that if we were the only two that showed up we would selfishly use the time to get better acquainted. Good thing too, because we remained alone. I didn't mind. Nancy was one of my very first pen buddies. Bill was terribly disappointed and a little distressed on my behalf. If Nancy had not come, I would have been devastated. Under the circumstances, I was pleased. Any time two friends sit down and share an afternoon, that is a great day.
By this time I had accumulated several new pens. Nancy was happy to find 17 pens she needed. She shared some tips on pen designing and brought samples of pens in progress. We spent the last half hour of our visit in search of pens. No luck, but we did find chocolate... a sweet ending to our day.
In Berkeley I stumbled over a cyber cafe and took time to catch up on email. Little did I know that would be the LAST contact I would have via the net. Finding internet service was the most frustrating challenge I faced repeatedly on my journey.
San Diego... It was lunch time when we landed in San Diego on Friday the 16th. We checked into the Padre Trail. We leisurely unpacked. Next stop, Old Town. Walked from store to store in search of float pens. Didn't like finding the large Italian pens, but they were in several stores. Damon says he has heard them referred to as Fat Boys... an appropriate label. My brother, his wife and son, Matthew, met us for dinner. So, we were off to a very relaxed start.
Saturday morning Bill and I crawled out of bed really early so I could get to the flea market and back in time to prepare the meeting room. Being Southern California I knew this would be the biggest get together of all. There are so many LA collectors, they would be pouring in. I was very excited.
My family went off for a grande tour of Old Town. Meeting times had been announced as early as 3:00. At 2:30 I began transporting pens and materials across the lot to meeting room 140. I flipped the lights on, opened the windows, and put a sign on the door. Sat down to catch up on writing postcards and to wait for my fellow collectors. By 3:55 I had written 20 postcards and found myself sitting all alone in a large room surrounded by empty chairs. So, I took the sign off the door and began moving everything back to our motel room. I must tell you, I was deeply disappointed.
About 4:05 I went to the office to once again search for a cyber cafe. Two women entered the lobby. They were waiting in line to speak to the clerk. When they finally made it to the counter, one of the women asked, 'did Diana Andra rent a meeting room here?' I was near tears when I looked up and realized this was Beverly Broadstone! Her friend Linda accompanied her on the trip down from the LA area. I was no longer alone.
Beverly is a serious float pen collector. Linda is a die-hard rubber stamp collector, struggling to avoid the float pen collectors hook. She admits she has two pens. I had to warn her, at our house we have a saying ... 'If you have one, or even two of something it's OK. But if you have THREE you are now officially a COLLECTOR!' Linda is going to proceed with caution.
We returned to my room and dove right into the pen boxes. Beverly and Linda's attendance made my afternoon complete. We shared ideas, stories, lives and PENS. Beverly even had pens that I needed, including Spielberg's DIVE. I was glad my family returned in time to meet them both. Linda took pictures of Beverly and I by the pool. Shame you couldn't come. We had a great time.
Ron Lanyi had to postpone his visit until Tuesday. He arrived about 12:30. Libby was determined to meet us later in the day. I hated to do it, but I knew my schedule was going to get crunched by evening. I reluctantly persuaded her to forego the three hour drive and stay home for some R&R.
Bill took the trolley to Tijuana and left Ron and I to our private pen party. Ron brought his super lighted View Master and some of his favorite reels for my enjoyment. I felt very privileged. It was easy to get lost in the images, truly 3-D magic at it's best. Ron collects glasses and he gave me two as a gift. The Wonderful World of Ohio glass really took me home. The second, a Tidal Wave glass from Magic Mountain, now reminds me of my big adventure.
We completed our pen trade about the same time we got hungry. Ron treated me to a very nice lunch at a Mexican restaurant in Bizarre Del Mundo. Afterwards, he suggested we visit the antique and junque shops along Ocean Beach and with that we were off. No pens to be found. We hiked out to the end of the pier to enjoy the view and a quiet moment. A humbling experience.
It was about 6 when Ron waved goodbye to Bill and I. He would face LA traffic. We would face the challenge of packing for our return trip tomorrow. Columbus, Ohio was kind and greeted us with clear skies and a warm 50 degrees. Our passage to Mansfield was brightened by the light of a full moon. As we turned onto Millsboro, we could see the house was still standing. That's always a good sign. Keogh and Minki, my kit kats, were so very happy to see us. It was good to be home.
I was fortunate to meet with several collectors and distributors along the way. At the meetings we discussed a lot of the information I am sharing with you today. I carried a photo album with pictures of my collection, displays and fellow collectors, with me at all times. It was enjoyed by all.
Bill and I were able to squeeze in most of the sight-seeing we had planned. Even met with some of craftspeople. We decided not to visit the Boeing Plant the same day as Al Gore, but it was a minor inconvenience. We could not believe that Boeing did not offer a float pen in their gift shop! The manager there said he will check into it.
As a collector, craftsperson, and traveler, it was Seattle that had the most to offer. Great city to begin our journey, but very hard to leave. In July, we will participate in the Oakbrook Crafts Invitational near Chicago. I look forward to meeting collector Angela Combest there. In the meantime, I am happy to stay home for awhile.
Media Alert... an article about float pens will appear in the next issue of Collectibles Flea Market Finds. Cathy Cook, the editor, contacted me and others, just days before the issue went to press. For those unfamiliar with the publication, it is a full-color, quarterly. It covers modern collectibles: lunch boxes, snowdomes, fast food toys, cereal premiums, many of our favorite things. They also spotlight homes of collectors, deal with display methods, and suggest fair prices.
This is the only collector's magazine I religiously pick up at my newsstand. Copies could be on the shelf as early as July 4th. Locally I find it at Barnes and Nobles. Check around now for availability. In Mansfield, it is frequently SOLD OUT.
This article will no doubt spark a fiery interest in float pens. For some, it will be there first introduction to our old friends. For me, it will be a big boost. I have been listed as a contact for people interested in collecting. It will mean more collectors to trade with for all of us.
Once the article appears, float pens won't be a sleepy collectible anymore! At least for awhile. I expect the initial effect to be temporary. Reasonable values were assigned to the pens, so I do not expect the article to drive prices up. However, you now have one month to scour your neighborhood markets and search trade lists to pick up pen inventory before the article is released.
It was Beverly Broadstone that noticed the Third Rock from the Sun episode that featured a float pen. She emailed to say, 'Yes.......they mentioned the pen at the start of the show. They focused on it for a good amount of time. Dick's students were about to attend a bachelor's party, and Dick was curious as to what the guys were playing with. So he proceeded to tilt it several times, with great exaggeration. It was a nice tribute.' I'm sure we can catch it in rerun.
New Pens... The Babar series is undergoing last minute revisions, so it is not yet in production. Traditionally, a Bright Idea series would include five pens. Imagine Babar at the Beach, or in a painter's smock. Whatever Babar is doing, he is an endearing creature. The pens will be sweet.
Bright Ideas has produced many cartoon characters series over the years. Archie, Animaniacs, Batman, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Felix the Cat, Gumby, Looney Tunes, and Popeye, are products of BI. Owner, Elizabeth Bloom, is also responsible for the many Betty Boop float pens in our collections.
Star Trek fans will flock to buy the new Star Trek series. Even Beavis and Butthead will be featured in a float pen. Can't say the boys turn me on, but as a serious collector, I must have the pen. For better or worse, they do depict 90's pop culture.
If you visit Six Flags, the Superman and Batman rides should have pens before the end of the season. Disney has at least one Hercules pen, I'm unsure if there will be more than one.
Coca Cola plans to offer 6-8 new float pen designs in Coke stores throughout the country. Contemporary and nostalgic themes are on the drawing board. The sample artwork is extremely nice.
Damon Zilly called to say that the Queen Mary pen that appeared in Mary Melton's LA Times article is once again available at the site. Walk in and pay $5.95 + tax or send $7.15 to have it shipped. YIKES! I was able to find the Official California Earthquake Detector pen, with a seismic scale on the front, from the same article. You will find it on my list for $3 under the California heading.
Collectors' Pen... When I submitted the artwork it seemed appropriate to incorporate pictures of real collectors in the pen. Likenesses of US collectors Ron Lanyi and Cheryl Vincent will appear in the left foreground. Nancy Nerenberg runs just ahead of them on the background panel.
Miranda Wittebol is in the right foreground position with Klaus Schmitz on the background panel. They will represent our European traders. The floating pen will almost disappear between the traders on each side. In the middle the mini pen will float past a globe in the background center position.
Artwork has been submitted and accepted. In this case, no news is good news. The artist is working on the design. If you are involved in the project, your $50 should be in my hands by June 21 (unless you have prepaid or made other arrangements).
Psychology of the Float Pen Collector... Our pens stir memories, induce laughter, expand our geographical horizons, and with the tip of a hand... come alive. The question has been 'Why do we collect things that float?' Perhaps the real mystery is why doesn't EVERYONE?!
Displays... 12" long x 5" wide x 2" high. Fashioned of black Melamine. Hold 22 Eskesen style pens. $14.50 postage paid, $12 per additional unit. Shipped via 2-3 Day Priority Mail.
Recent Acquisitions... you will find many new pens on this list. We were thorough in our search. Be quick to reap the rewards of my travels. Most pens are in limited supply.
I must be on a lucky streak. Memorial Day weekend, at our local flea market, I found a metal mechanical pencil with a nude woman in a short window for $2! Without hesitation, Bill bought it for me. Moments later I purchased an old Mr. Peanut float pencil in good condition for just $12! How about you? Find any cool pens lately?
The day before we left town I received a small package with five magnificent pens from Japan! I returned to find a sixth from Tey Nunn. I say this with a smile on my face. I can ask for no more... my heart is full. Below you will see some requests from other collectors in need.
Floating on pen cloud nine,
Want Lists... Special requests from fellow collectors:
Damon Zilly needs/wants (that is a debate we won't tackle right now) GUMBY pens. They were produced by Bright Ideas, so I would begin my search in the San Francisco and LA areas.
Shirley Glaettli's wants: Disney Movie pens; Planter Peanut; Rocky & Bullwinkle; North Dakota ... The Tate Gallery has a pen of a famous Pre-Raphaelite painting called The Lady of Shallot. How can I obtain this pen?
If Karen Swanson has secured a pen from Greece, I haven't heard about it. Help if you can.
Next issue of Float About should be in August. Until then ... buy duplicates to build trade power.

The long experience of Chef Jamie in many restaurants belonging to the upscale resorts scene of Phuket explains easily the trendiness of his restaurant.

It was a big stage with a great crowd, but the McMaster men's basketball team spoiled the party by beating the Brock Badgers 80-69 in front of 2,673 OUA fans at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines.
It was a game of runs from the tip as McMaster jumped in front 8-2, only to see Brock go on a tear to take a 20-13 lead behind big man Dani Elgadi. Mac scored the last two hoops of the quarter though, and after 10 minutes, the Badger lead was 20-17.
The Badgers maintained the margin through most of the second stanza, but McMaster again closed strongly to win the quarter and take a 37-34 lead into the intermission.
Brock fought back in the third quarter to re-take the lead at 46-45 and the teams started trading baskets, before another late push gave McMaster a 58-54 lead heading to the final quarter.
Fouls started to catch up to the Badgers as starters Ryan Bennett and Tyler Brown both fouled out early in the period, leaving Brock shorthanded. McMaster started to add to the lead and a huge trey from Aaron Redpath gave McMaster a 73-63 lead, forcing Brock to call timeout to stop the bleeding.
McMaster kept rotating in players to stay fresh and the Marauder depth paid off as Brock ran out of gas and the men in maroon ended play with a 10-4 run to close out the big win.
Leon Alexander scored 28 points for McMaster in a terrific effort and got solid support from Rohan Boney with 16 and Redpath with 14. Elgadi was a monster and finished with a game-high 36 and 12 boards for the Badgers.
McMaster now moves ahead of Brock in the OUA Central division standings, and more importantly moves ahead of the Badgers in RPI and is in position for a first-round playoff bye.
The Marauders close out the schedule at Guelph on Friday, February 26.

News in Brief
Calif. Parent-Trigger Petition Rejected by School Board
A group of Compton, Calif., parents vowed to continue to force their school district to convert a struggling elementary school to an independent charter, despite the school board's rejection of their petition.
Lorena Bautista, a parent at McKinley Elementary School, said the school district found any excuse to deny the petition, filed under California's "parent trigger" law, which gives parents the right to force changes at failing schools.
The Compton Unified School District board voted unanimously last week to deny the petition after finding flaws, including discrepancies in the signatures.

A First Kiss to Be Remembered (well, maybe not!)
by Bob Jandoli
When I turned thirteen I embraced an age where most of us go through a lot of changes. Up to this time in my life girls were not appealing to me. Of course, there were the tom boys; the ones who ran and played just as well as any of the boys, but now something different was happening: I started to be aware of the shapes and looks of some of the girls and I liked it.
A friend of mine invited a bunch of us, both boys and girls, to a Halloween costume party. I had been to a number of parties in my earlier youth with both boys and girls, but this one time was a lot different. At first I was apprehensive, but when I found out he had invited the "hottest" thirteen year old girl to the party, I made up my mind to go.
I'll call her Mary (names have been changed to protect the innocent. You know, like Dragnet, lol). Every boy in school, wanted to date Mary. Let's put it simple: she was a thirteen year old with the body of an eighteen year old. Enough said. I dressed up as simple as could be, no costume, just a mask, so I could take it off right away and feel comfortable. I think every guy that night did the same thing. The party was kind of slow in the first half of the evening, but things started to get better as soon as one of the girls suggested to play "Post Office". Uh oh! A kissing game.
Boy, was I nervous…
I sort of kissed girls before, but that was just a peck on the cheek or a fast kiss on the lips from one of my cousins or friends. But make out…no way!! Then I looked across the room and saw Mary putting on lipstick. My mind was changed rapidly. Would I be lucky enough that she would pick my name out of the hat? The game was on, each girl picked a name and I held my breath each time but no one picked mine. The odds were in my favor. Then it was Mary's turn. My heart started to pump faster and I started to sweat. When she reached in and looked at the name on the card, she smiled and called out my name. At first she whispered it and no one heard her, but I did and I yelled "It's me, it's me". What an idiot. All the guys looked at me with envy as Mary took my hand and we walked into the other room to be alone for our necking session. At first we didn't know what to do, but I knew what I wanted to do. We just spoke for what seemed like an hour, but was probably no more than two minutes. Then it happened, we stopped talking, our eyes met, then our lips met. And guess what? It was the most horrible kiss that I ever had. Till this day it remains the worst. She had bad breath and didn't know how to move her lips. Granted I was no expert. But I got the idea how it should be… and this wasn't it. Look, I'm not trying to put this young, naive girl down, and I'm sure she got better with age, but that's not my point. The problem was my perception and anticipation was all wrong. Be careful what you wish for.
We spend a great deal of time discovering that our goals do not meet the expectations we anticipated. We allocate so much of our lives trying to reach them and when we finally get there we learn that too often they weren't worth it. None of the effort was a waste of time, though, because the time we spent in the challenge was more constructive and more rewarding than the pursuit. We learned of ourselves that we were achievers, that we were determined, and willing to go through everything for the final objectives. And most of all I've ascertained that the most wonderful effects that came to me in my life were the surprises – those that I never really set as goals. They were given to me with no effort and were the ones that GOD, Himself, sent to me and wanted me to have.

Have your Local Plumber on Speed-Dial
I think sometimes our local plumbers get a bad rap. There are jokes about them and let's face it their job isn't lavish and luxurious. We have seen them often on shows like Dirty Jobs. It takes a commitment to this profession and when your water is leaking and overflowing onto your nice hardwood floors though, plumbing isn't a laughing matter.
I have gleaned a new respect for plumbers however when I realized they do much more than just unclog your toilet. Truthfully, when you think of plumbers that and unclogging the hair in sinks are the first things I think of them doing.
Do you realize that each new home or office that is built requires a plumber? That without them you wouldn't have water in your shower, or sink, nor the waste pipes leading out of the house? Without their knowledge of pipes and plumbing, you could end up with backed up and junked up systems. They are one of the first systems put in, on the ground level of a building project. Much of the plumbing system is put in before the foundation is even poured (especially with a basement).
Finding a good local plumber is something you are going to want to invest time in prior to the emergency of needing one. When there is an emergency you will want their phone number already programed into your cell phone. You won't have time for your husband to learn about becoming a plumber when the sink is overflowing!

You are so right about the speed-dial thing. Nothing worse than a major catastrophe and you have to waste time looking for a number.ReplyDelete
Proper plumbing is absolutely essential for any structure to offer the residents a hygienic and clean environment.ReplyDelete

Traditional Dutch pancakes are a wonderful way to sample Dutch cuisine. They are delicious and there is so much variety, that there is a pancake to suit everybody: sweet or savory, with fruit, vegetables, meat or fish, or even ice cream. Kids love them. They are so big they're a full meal.
Here are the five best places to eat pancakes in Amsterdam.
- De Witte Swaen (The White Swan) in Broek in Waterland. Technically this restaurant is not in Amsterdam, but in the lovely and picturesque village Broek in Waterland just outside Amsterdam, about 15 mins by bus from Central Station. This pancake house makes by far the best pancakes I've ever eaten and I've been eating pancakes for over three decades. You can't really beat the location either. Broek in Waterland is a beautiful 17th century village, an easy one hour bike ride or mere 15 minutes by bus away from Central Station. Worth the trip!
- Pancakes! Amsterdam. A little pancake restaurant in the hip 9 Straatjes. Delicious Dutch and American style pancakes. Pancakes! uses honest, local and organic produce as much as possible. This little restaurant can get really crowded, so reserve a table or come early or later than popular lunch and dinner times.
- Pannenkoekenhuis Upstairs. Delicious pancakes in a tiny restaurant (and by tiny I mean one of the smallest restaurants in Europe) at the top of some very narrow stairs. There are only 4 tables, so make reservations!
- The Pancake Boat. The pancakes are not the best you'll ever have, but the Pancake boat offers an unique experience: All you can eat pancakes during a fun and beautiful boat ride on the IJ. There's a little indoor playground on the boat. A great activity for kids!
- Boerderij Meerzicht. A traditional Pancake house in the Amsterdamse Bos. A little out the way, but a great place to go with children. The Amsterdamse Bos is a huge park/forest ( three times the size of Central Park in New York), with playgrounds, a swimming pool and lots of other activities for children. Boerderij Meerzicht is very child friendly and has a petting zoo, an orchard and a playground. Seating both inside and outside.

This is a nice task that enables you to get to know your students and provides a lovely display for the classroom. It would be good to use this in the first few weeks of the new academic year and it can be carried out using traditional methods (pens, paper etc) or on a PC. We used the traditional method as we didn't have access to PCs.
Students are asked to create a poster (moodboard) that represents them as a person. It is entirely open to interpretation but students relish the opportunity to express themselves through visual media and the finished products are great talking points. The activity also helps the class to get to know each other and what their interests are, it's also a great opportunity for the teacher to produce one too.
This little writing task has been adapted from http://www.teachit.co.uk to encourage students to use their imagination in a structured way for final assessments.
Firstly the students are shown an image on the Smartboard and given the task sheet as a starter which encourages them to write down their senses about the haunted house. Students are then asked to write a short piece about the haunted house using the task sheet to support their writing.
This task is excellent for encouraging students to read their stories and can also be used to make a Halloween display in the classroom.

Another brilliant resource to get students using their imagination through a visual prompt.
Myself and Georgina Hooper collated images and chopped them up into packs so students had a choice of which image to select. Students were asked to select an image that appealed to them and then given the task sheet which directs them to write creatively and descriptively.
The results were amazing, with some great written pieces that could easily have been published as fiction. The students also enjoyed reading out their own stories to others which developed their speaking and listening skills.
Enjoy the task, the instructions and images are available below.
A great little activity to get students using dictionaries, think about word meanings and work together to problem solve.
There are 4 sets of words which need cutting up and mixing up (original word, synonyms, antonyms and homophones). The students then need to work together to sort the words out, using a dictionary if needed so that the original word has a synonym and antonym to match it. A separate match is made for homophones to go together.
For this particular task Georgina Hooper has used random words but you could use specialist words related to the topic/subject taught.
Click below for the resource.
This mini assessment task encourages students to write creatively and descriptively through visualisation – based on their own memories.
Students can really get their teeth into this task if the teacher leads the task step by step, giving examples along the way of their own memory on the board. As you go along the students' interest is gained by the words you are writing on the board as you won't have told the students what the memory is.
Students then realise after the task completion that it is not as difficult as they thought to write using these prompts for future assessments plus they enjoy reading their stories to each other about their memory.
Click below for the task adapted from http://www.teachit.co.uk
This task has a variety of uses and asks students to write down their top tens of listed items. It has been differentiated for my learners by giving word counts for the different levels. For those that have difficulties with writing or young students, images could be used instead.
I have found that the students enjoy this task as a starter, extension or fun break up task in between learning and they also enjoy discussing what they have selected.

He says the core group will comprise leaders from across the political divide.
PUTRAJAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad has mooted the formation of a "core group", comprising leaders from all across the political divide wishing to see the country free from Prime Minister Najib Razak's grasp.
Mahathir, who today announced his resignation from Umno, or as he called it "Najib party", said the next step would be for all those who shared similar goals of ousting Najib to stand united.
"People are voicing the same opinion on different occasions, separately, and people are confused.
"We need to have a core group with a single objective.
"So if anyone wants to consult or object (to matters related to Najib), they can do so with this group which will also represent citizens who want to get rid of him," he added at a press conference at the Perdana Leadership Foundation here today.
When asked if he would be the one leading the group, the former premier said: "I am not leading, but I will be one of the members."
Mahathir also expressed hope that suspended Umno Deputy President Muhyiddin Yassin would follow suit and leave the ruling party to join the core group.
Moments prior to Mahathir's announcement, he and several members of the opposition pact were involved in a closed-door meeting where they all agreed that Najib needs to go.
Among those in attendance were Kuala Krai MP Dr Hatta Ramli, Kota Raja MP Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud, Parit Buntar MP Mujahid Yusof Rawa and Batu MP Tian Chua.

Visit Rinyu Morning Market in Otaru for your breakfast! Choose your favorite pieces and make it to sashimi set meal or sashimi rice bowl!
You can enjoy the fresh sashimi rice bowl, sashimi set meal, etc., from 4 am at the diner in Rinyu Morning Market in Otaru.
Furthermore, the diner will cook the seafood you bought in the market into sashimi, grilled fish, or boiled fish if you bring those to the restaurant!
Table of Contents- You can enjoy shopping and eat from 4 am at Rinyu Morning Market!
- The diner will cook seafood you bought in the market!
- Let's eat after preparation!
- There are other recommended dishes!
You can enjoy shopping and eat from 4 am at Rinyu Morning Market!
Rinyu Morning market is a market located at seven to eight minutes drive from JR Otaru Station. You can also reach by bus going to Temiya direction from Otaru Station if you are not driving. It is about two to three minutes walk from the Temiya bus stop.
There are several markets in Otaru City which locals shop and Rinyu Morning Market is one of them. You can purchase fresh seafood from Otaru at reasonable prices.
Rinyu Morning Market opens at 4 am. You can not only shop freshly caught seafood but also enjoy meals at the diner from early morning.
The diner is pretty busy in spite of the time. People stop by here before they go to work, after drinking at the downtown to end the night, those who arrive at Otaru Port by ferry in the early morning, etc. Tourists and locals alike enjoy the freshest seafood from early morning.
The diner will cook seafood you bought in the market!
The unique characteristic of Rinyu Morning Market is that diner will cook seafood you purchased in the market when you bring them to the diner.
You can ask them to make sashimi rice bowl, simple sashimi, and even grill or boil!
They offer rice and miso soup so you can make a set meal, too.
Of course, you can enjoy their regular dishes without bringing seafood. They offer various sashimi rice bowls, set meals, ramen, etc.
Today, I will try to bring the seafood I bought in the market.
Let's first walk around the market to seek for my breakfast!
There are several fish shops in the market.
What kind of seafood is there? Let's walk around the market and choose carefully!
▲The day I visited was right after the start of sea urchin catching season in Otaru. There was fresh sea urchin from Otaru sold with soaked sea urchin.
▲Otaru is famous for squillas! The best season is spring and autumn. Squillas are a must-try if you have a chance to visit Otaru in spring or autumn.
Each shop offers seasonal seafood so you can find different fish each time. There is the difference in each shop's specializations, too.
There will be much fewer products in terms of variety and amounts when the weather is bad, and fishers can't go fishing. Well, we can't go against nature. However, that's a proof that the market offers fresh seafood.
▲I found live scallops from Otaru! Wow, it looks fresh!
▲It was moving its shells as if it was seducing me… I am gonna eat you!
▲"We just got many thick scallops! Let me look for some good ones."
The biggest difference between supermarkets, etc., is that you can talk with staffs while shopping. It is fun to buy as hearing to staffs' recommendations and seasonal bests!
▲I found some big whelks! Staffs picked good ones for me.
You are allowed to get seafood from multiple shops when you bring them to the diner. You can shop at a place you found favorite seafood or a shop you enjoyed talking with staffs, etc., as many shops as you like!
I looked around the morning market and bought two pieces of live scallops, two pieces of whelk, and three squillas.
I bought quite a lot, but the total was 1,400 yen.
Let's bring them to the diner!
There are two diners in the morning market. I went to one of them called "Oshokuji Dokoro Non Non".
Let's eat after preparation!
Oshokuji Dokoro Non Non continues from the early 1990s. Although the manager changed in 2017, the curtain, atmosphere, menu, and the taste has not changed. Locals love the restaurant for a long time, and they have many regular customers for over 20 years.
▲There are two entrances to the diner and this is the entrance from the market. The other entrance can be found outside of the building.
▲They have both counter seats and table seats.
I asked the staff to cook the seafood that I bought!
Tada~! Here it is!
▲The dish looks a lot for one person! It turned out to super luxurious sashimi set meal.
The amount of sashimi looks like for two or three people… It seems like I bought too much seafood.
Crunchy whelks, chewy scallops, and juicy squillas.
It did not matter that I bought too much. It was too delicious that I could finish only by myself!
▲The scallops were alive until a minute ago. Thank you for your life!
▲Squillas don't look too nice, but it had great juice when I chewed! It was the best piece!
The price is from 300 yen for the corkage fee (the price depends on the number of pieces) and 300 yen for making it a set meal (comes with rice, miso soup, and pickles).
There were three pieces including shellfish, so the corkage fee was 500 yen.
The total amount I spent today is below:
Shopping at the market 1,400 yen
Corkage fee 500 yen
Set meal fee 300 yen
Total 2,200 yen
There are other recommended dishes!
In the end, I would like to introduce two popular dishes from their regular menu at Oshokuji Dokoro Non Non.
Try these if you are not planning to bring what you bought!
▲Otaru-don (2,200 yen). The sashimi rice bowl with plenty of sea urchin, ikura, and scallops.
▲Non Non Teishoku (1,000 yen). The set meal with a piece of grilled or boiled fish of the day, three pieces of sashimi of the day, a side dish, rice, miso soup, and pickles.
Otaru-don is extremely popular with tourists. On the other hand, Non Non Teishoku is popular among mainly local customers who visit the diner for a long time because the menu changes every day.
What kind of seafood would you look for at Rinyu Morning Market and ask to cook?
It feels like a treasure hunting when you shop at the morning market!
There is more than enjoy meals at this market.
The next breakfast at Otaru must be at Rinyu Market!

Ever tried escargot — a staple of French cuisine that is, essentially, snails served with butter and sauce? If you haven't, today might be the day to give it a whirl — it's National Escargot Day, the holiday dedicated to this very divisive snack. However, if the idea of eating a snail puts you on the edge of a dry heave, I have some news for you: you're experiencing food disgust — and you can actually do something to change that (note: if you're down with escargot, you can replace it in this discussion with frog legs, mayonnaise, fish eggs, yogurt, jerky, maggot-infested cheese, or any other food that turns your stomach a bit).
Of course, you may be asking yourself a thoroughly sensible question right now: "Why would I want to get over my disgust for a thoroughly disgusting food? I'm HAPPY not eating foods that I find disgusting." Well, while our impulse is usually to stay away from things that induce disgust, there may be hidden values in taking the plunge and holding your nose when it comes to food. Eating foods we think are gross can make us healthier — and even impact our larger worldview.
Human disgust is an evolved response that is designed to keep us safe. We feel repulsion towards foods that our brains read as potentially dangerous. Because humans are omnivorous, disgust acts as a protective mechanism, stopping us from putting whatever we like into our mouths and causing ourselves serious harm. Disgust of all kinds, according to some researchers, is rooted in our response to food; feeling disgust for, say, a soiled floor or a smell of vomit elicits the "core" responses of nausea and a gaping mouth that come with facing disgusting foodstuffs. But if a food isn't going to make us ill or cause us problems, are there still good reasons to shield ourselves from it — or does the science indicate that, perhaps, a little adventurousness with texture and taboo might be a good idea?
You Feel Disgust Towards Certain Foods Because Your Body Is Trying To Keep You From Getting Poisoned
Dislike is different from disgust. To dislike a food because of its bitterness or excessive sweetness, for instance, is just your taste profile, which is developed over years of experience as we are exposed to new and exciting flavors and smells. Feeling dislike for a food is not the body rejecting something because of its potential to kill us.
Professor Paul Rozin, one of the world authorities on the psychology of disgust, explains that this feeling is the difference between "core disgust" (what you feel when you bite into a wormy apple) and "distaste," which is what you experience when something has "negative sensory properties." He explained in a 1997 interview,
"The sense of disgust that overwhelms someone who bites into a wormy apple — the feeling of revulsion, the spewing of chewed apple pieces, the approach to the brink of vomiting — is not brought on because the worm tastes bad."
According to researchers, there are two particular aspects that make a food "disgusting" to us: "aversive textural properties of the foods and reminders of livingness/animalness."
The texture part — from the sliminess of oysters to the peculiar rubberiness of tripe — harkens back to textures that may signify rotting or harmful substances, even if we know empirically that the food itself isn't going to hurt us.
The "reminders of livingness" are a little trickier. Our disgust reaction is likely partially because of the possibility of contamination by blood/offal/bacteria/waste, and partially because we now live in a society that largely distances itself from the realities of meat production. (This is why raw cookie dough contains raw egg and uncooked stuff, and yet we're fully capable of getting over it and eating it by the spoonful.)
Together, these two qualities can scream "contagion!" in our brains — which manifests as finding a certain food to be totally foul.
Disgust For Specific Foods Is Also Culturally Created
Disgust is not just about bodily reactions alone, of course. It's also about how we're taught to respond to particular ideas. Professor Rozin has written that disgust has evolved as human beings have: "Disgust evolves culturally, and develops from a system to protect the body from harm to a system to protect the soul from harm."
Meaning: what we regard as disgusting these days, in food terms, isn't necessarily rooted in potential threats to our health; it's also about our cultural constructions of goodness, acceptability and what is and is not a "reputable" food.
This idea of what foods qualify as "disgusting" varies a lot from culture to culture — a point exemplified by our reactions to the idea of eating insects. Insects are, for some cultures, a foundational part of the diet, and as the world population booms, scientists are calling for more insects to be introduced to normal lunches and dinners to help provide everybody with protein.
But disgust gets in the way: both "core" disgust, which looks at all insects as somehow possibly harmful or germ-ridden, and cultural disgust, which leads people from some cultures to regard insects as things that humans don't eat.
Interestingly, a 2016 study found that people could circumvent both types of disgust and have an easier time trying insects if beforehand, someone explained to them how the insects were cooked and prepared. "Cooking," the scientists note, "is a process by which raw ingredients are transformed into finished products, reducing the 'animalness' of meat products that renders them disgusting." Taking away the "animalness" of insects and making them into food, it seems, helps people from cultures where insects aren't typically eaten think of them as acceptable food — a process that we already undertake all the time with other meat products.
Disgust frames the ways in which we are trained to look at the world and to receive and understand new sensory and cultural inputs — and it doesn't stop at food. We are more inclined to dehumanize people who we perceive as "disgusting", and Scientific American stated in 2013 that "empathy and disgust do battle in the brain."
So reaching past your disgust impulses when it comes to food won't just make you a more exciting dinner companion — it can also potentially help you develop other, more positive approaches to the world.
Disgust Doesn't Stop At Food — It Colors How We Treat Others, Too
Disgust frames the ways in which we are trained to look at the world and to receive and understand new sensory and cultural inputs — and it doesn't stop at food. We are more inclined to dehumanize people who we perceive as "disgusting", and Scientific American stated in 2013 that "empathy and disgust do battle in the brain."
So reaching past your disgust impulses when it comes to food won't just make you a more exciting dinner companion — it can also potentially help you develop other, more positive approaches to the world.
Disgusting Foods Can Have Excellent Health Benefits
So all this aside, why would you want to eat a food you find disgusting? How could that possibly benefit you?
Well, for one thing, many foods that possess innate "disgusting" qualities seem to have major health benefits. Seaweed, which many people find deeply texturally unnerving, is hugely nutritious and seems to convey big health benefits to people who make it a substantial part of their diet. Oysters are protein-rich and contain many vitamins. And that's before we get into how nutrient-packed certain kinds of ants are.
Some "disgusting" foods are definitely not for the faint-hearted (hakarl, fermented shark, has turned even Gordon Ramsay into a retching mess), and you shouldn't feel pressured to ever eat anything that makes you uncomfortable. But if you've done your research and you're curious about what life could be like if you pushed beyond your disgust impulses, it might be worth taking the chance on that bite of grasshopper.

Product Description
Rossini's La Cenerentola tells the familiar fairy tale of Cinderella anew. A work full of wit, a wealth of melodies and burlesquesituations.
La Cenerentola (Cinderella, or Goodness Triumphant) is an operatic dramma giocoso in two acts by Gioachino Rossini. The libretto was written by Jacopo Ferretti, based on the fairy tale Cendrillon by Charles Perrault. The opera was first performed in Rome's Teatro Valle on 25 January 1817.
Rossini composed La Cenerentola when he was 25 years old, following the success of The Barber of Seville the year before. La Cenerentola, which he completed in a period of three weeks, is considered to have some of his finest writing for solo voice and ensembles. Rossini saved some time by reusing an overture from La gazzetta and part of an aria from The Barber of Seville and by enlisting a collaborator, Luca Agolini, who wrote the secco recitatives and three numbers (Alidoro's "Vasto teatro è il mondo", Clorinda's "Sventurata!" and the chorus "Ah, della bella incognita"). The facsimile edition of the autograph has a different aria for Alidoro, "Fa' silenzio, odo un rumore"; this seems to have been added by an anonymous hand for an 1818 production. For an 1820 revival in Rome, Rossini wrote a bravura replacement, "La, del ciel nell'arcano profondo". The light, energetic overture has been in the standard repertoire since its premiere as La Cenerentola.

Riomaggiore is a village and comune in the province of La Spezia, situated in a small valley in the Liguria region of Italy. It is the first of the Cinque Terre one meets when travelling north from La Spezia.
What is the Riomaggiore?
The village, dating from the early thirteenth century, is known for its historic character and its wine, produced by the town's vineyards. It is in the Riviera di Levante region and has a shoreline on the Mediterranean's Gulf of Genoa, with a small beach and a wharf framed by tower houses. Riomaggiore's main street is Via Colombo, where numerous restaurants, bars, and shops can be found.
The Via dell'Amore is a path connecting Riomaggiore to its frazione Manarola, also part of the Cinque Terre. It is the most southern village of the five Cinque Terre, all connected by trail. The water and mountainside have been declared national parks. Riomaggiore inspired paintings by Telemaco Signorini (1835–1901), one of the artists of the Macchiaioli group.
What is the cinque Terre?
The Cinque Terre is a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia, and comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Over the centuries, people have carefully built terraces on the rugged, steep landscape right up to the cliffs that overlook the sea. Part of its charm is the lack of visible corporate development. Paths, trains and boats connect the villages, and cars cannot reach them from the outside. The Cinque Terre area is a very popular tourist destination.

|The Alcázar Real of Seville © Michelle Chaplow
The Alcazar Real - Royal Palace - Seville
Take me to: Hotels near Alcazar Palace
While the Alcazar looks like a Moorish palace, in fact many of its most beautiful rooms were built - by Moorish workmen, it's true - for the Christian king, Pedro the Cruel of Castile, in the 1360s. Pedro lived in, and ruled from, the palace with his mistress, Maria de Padilla. He embarked upon a complete rebuilding and extending of the palace, employing the finest workmen from Granada and Toledo, and utilising fragments of earlier Moorish buildings in Seville, Cordoba and Valencia.
|The peaceful gardens of the Alcazar in Sevilla.
Pedro's Mudejar palace (designed in Moorish style for a Christian ruler) forms the heart of the Alcazar as it is today and, despite numerous restorations necessitated by fires and earth tremors, the Alcazar offers some of the best surviving examples of Mudejar architecture.
The Alcazar is divided into sections dating from a succession of eras: Moorish (11th-12th century), Gothic (13th century), Mudejar (14th century), and Renaissance (15th-16th century).
As you go into the palace complex, to your left is the oldest part, the Patio del Yeso, which dates from Moorish times.
To your right is the Renaissance palace, with the House of Trade where Christopher Columbus signed his contract with Queen Isabella. Many Italianate features, marble arches and columns, were added in the 16th century.
Straight ahead is Palace of King Don Pedro I, with a facade which harmoniously marries Moorish features - horseshoe arches, Arabic lettering ("Noone is victorious but Allah") - with Christian words (the very noble... Don Pedro... ordered ordered these Alcazares built"). Inside you will find the mesmerising Patio de las Doncellas, with its sunken gardens, painstaking arches and long pool. Around this patio are various royal salons, and at the opposite end is the most spectacular room in the palace: the Ambassadors' Hall, with a gold dome which represents the heavens. Look out for the Peacock Arch with birds decorating it, which leads to this salon. As well as a regal atmosphere, thanks to its white, blue and gold colours, and the gallery with portraits of all the Castillian kings, fabulous touches such as balconies supported by golden dragons give it a fairytale feel.
Upstairs are the private apartments (only open until 13.30), where you can see Queen Isabella's bedroom and private chapel, the dining room, the king's study and other chambers. The apartments are the current King's residence when in Seville.
FAVOURITE shoot LOCATION
The Alcazar of Seville was used as a location for scenes in Season Five, and Six of the hugely successful HBO TV series, Game of Thrones, standing in for the Water Gardens of Dorne. The palace was also used to shoot the new NBC TV series Emerald City, based on The Wizard of Oz, in late 2015 and broadcast in 2016.
Visiting The Alcazar
The grounds of the Alcazar are extensive and fascinating, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to wander around the whole palace and gardens - two to three hours minimum.

"For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God."
King James Version (KJV)
11:12 And as the woman was at first taken out of the man, so also the man is now, in the ordinary course of nature, by the woman; but all things are of God - The man, the woman, and their dependence on each other.
1Co 11:12 For as the woman [is] from the man, etc. As she was created for man so man is born of woman. But all things of God. There is an equipoise. These relations are all "of God".

Most of you know I'm not a big fan of death metal, but there's one band that I just fucking LOVE!! Ever since I saw the video for The House Of The Dead Dwarf, which proved the level of self-distance and humor this band possesses, I just love their quirky boundary-less technical and quirky, yet quite melodic death metal. Their previous album, Angels For Breakfast… And God For Lunch really rocked my world for a long time. So, I'm happy to say that with the follow-up New Level of Malevolence, they have even stepped it up. This is bloody outstanding! I even have a soft spot for Marcus Hammarström's evil sounding, screechy, but not painful vocals, which actually fits the music perfectly. I don't think you're supposed to fell happy when listening to death metal, but I have a smile on my face every time I listen to this band. The album is full of little surprises which just throw you off in all directions without warning, and I love that. Predictable? No way in hell! There are traces of classic heavy metal, death metal, thrash, prog metal, doom, polka and… you name it, and that is just in the title track alone! There's actually one band that sometimes comes to mind, and which I also love, and that's F.K.Ü. They both have the same level of intensity and power. Also, tell me the last time you heard neck pick-up Stratocaster being played in a thrash/death tune? This is a new level of excellence!
