When you find yourself falling in love with a scarred tight-lipped boy, hug him. Chances are, his heart still has small cracks in it even after all the breaking and gluing and breaking and gluing. Some parts of it may have fallen out in the park,
the café,
the sidewalk where he got dumped, and afterwards, it was too much to go back to those places, so just hug him.
Also kiss him. Kiss him gently on the shoulders, and inhale the earthly scent of his soft black hair. Let your hand wander through the bruises and cuts not excepting the invisible ones
because even if he doesn't say it out loud, they still hurt some times. They say time is the best healer, well, maybe it hasn't been enough time, not yet.
Nod. Nod when he's asking you for the hundredth time if he's good enough for you, if you're just playing a huge practical joke on him for dating him because there is a long history of ugly abusive remark of her "why are you never good enough?" behind his every hesitant "are you sure?"
And please, please be patient when he pulls away. Love is a constant tuck of the tide, a game of push and pull. And this tight lipped, shy-eyed boy has pushed himself too far once upon a time in the past.
Pass pass pass the cliff edge, and straight into the whirling waterfall of regrets and self-doubts.
Give him space to gather his sense of self once in a while because after her, he's spent months after months gathering the broken pieces- those dejected, crushed pieces of himself lying around everywhere she's asked, "Why are you like this?", and every time she insulted his efforts to shine for her.
And understand that for years, this sense of self was probably all that he has left.
Most importantly, smile. Smile especially when he's stuttering, trying to explain the reasons behind his 5-minute lateness, or when he adamantly refuses to sing along to his favorite song blasting from the car radio because behind every little self-conscious fear of his is countless strings of belittlement and ridicule from his ex.
He may have said he's gotten over her.
And that's probably true.
But poison leaves scars
even long after it's been removed.

Up to 120,000 protesters brought Dublin city centre to a standstill on Saturday over government austerity measures aimed at stabilising the once high-flying economy now wracked by recession.
The demonstration came a day after the global economic crisis led to another political casualty elsewhere in Europe, with Latvia's prime minister quitting as his country grapples with deepening recession.
Organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) and featuring teachers, police, civil servants and others, the Irish protest was the "first step in a rolling campaign of action," ICTU general secretary David Begg said.
Police put the number of protesters at up to 120,000.
Marchers are particularly opposed to a pension levy on some 350,000 public servants which is designed to save about 1.4 billion euros (1.8 billion dollars) this year.

Things To Tell Yourself Every Day
I'm a big believer that we should all be our own cheerleaders in life and sometimes you just need to give yourself an old fashioned pep talk to make you feel like you can do anything you want to and here are 15 of my favourites.
- You're not defined by what you've done before.
- Or from where you've come from.
- There is no formula to success, what works for one doesn't work for the other.
- Success has no definitive definition.
- Nobody has permission to make you feel inferior unless you give it to them.
- There is nothing shameful about failing, some of the best lessons can be learnt by something not working out.
- You're more powerful than you think you are.
- Creativity takes courage.
- Stay humble but don't forget to celebrate your successes.
- Don't let a number define you, whether it be stats or income.
- No one ever shares their entire story.
- Someone else's opinion is not your reality.
- We're all a work in progress.
- Comparison is the thief of joy.
- There are so many things that you are capable of, don't keep yourself small.
What do you like to tell yourself on a daily basis?

Protocol Id: 407
Phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) (Thr202/Tyr204) (197G2) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 647 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of p44 and p42 MAP kinase (Erk1 and Erk2) when dually phosphorylated at Thr202 and Tyr204 of Erk1 (Thr185 and Tyr187 of Erk2), and singly phosphorylated at Tyr204. The antibody does not cross-react with the corresponding phosphorylated residues of either JNK/SAPK or p38 MAP kinase.Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey, Mink, D. melanogaster, Zebrafish, Pig
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr202/Tyr204 of human p44 MAP kinase.
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a widely conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases involved in many cellular programs, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and death. The p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) signaling pathway can be activated in response to a diverse range of extracellular stimuli including mitogens, growth factors, and cytokines (1-3), and research investigators consider it an important target in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer (4). Upon stimulation, a sequential three-part protein kinase cascade is initiated, consisting of a MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MAP3K), a MAP kinase kinase (MAPKK or MAP2K), and a MAP kinase (MAPK). Multiple p44/42 MAP3Ks have been identified, including members of the Raf family, as well as Mos and Tpl2/COT. MEK1 and MEK2 are the primary MAPKKs in this pathway (5,6). MEK1 and MEK2 activate p44 and p42 through phosphorylation of activation loop residues Thr202/Tyr204 and Thr185/Tyr187, respectively. Several downstream targets of p44/42 have been identified, including p90RSK (7) and the transcription factor Elk-1 (8,9). p44/42 are negatively regulated by a family of dual-specificity (Thr/Tyr) MAPK phosphatases, known as DUSPs or MKPs (10), along with MEK inhibitors, such as U0126 and PD98059.

There's an interesting piece by Chad Harbach on Slate right now that argues that there are two distinct cultures in American writing right now. The first school is the MFA, the university-sponsored writing culture that is spread across the nation in college towns . The second is the New York culture; people like Philip Roth, Jonathan Safran Foer, Nicole Krauss, etc.
The article makes a lot of intriguing points about how each culture produces different writing. The MFA writer focuses on the short story form more than the New York writer. The MFA writer is also better-funded than the New York writer. If you teach writing, you don't have to make money from it. On the other hand, the MFA writer is pressured to publish frequently to beef up job credentials.
What camp do you fall into? And what about the people who aren't in either camp. If I'm neither a New Yorker, nor an MFA, do I even have a chance?

Annual 'check up from the neck up'
During this Lenten season it's customary for many people in Christian denominations to give up something for 40 days. I was never much into that, but I do use the time to do a three step deep dive into self. I think every now and again it's useful to look inside and see what's there, just to make sure I'm still on course.
It's not that I don't give something up, it's just that I don't give it up for religious reasons. I give something up as a matter of inner discipline. I know it's supposed to, in some religious denominations, signify Christ's suffering and death on the cross and his resurrection on the third day. But, for me to give up, say, snicker-doodles, for 40 days isn't in the same universe, so why play like that.
I start by asking myself, if I'm treating me right? We all lean toward self destruction. We work too hard and at times stress ourselves out. As an old friend told me last week, all the self-imposed importance of what we place on what we do disappears in an instant, "when you wake up in the hospital looking at your cardiologist."
Some of us smoke, drink or party too much and sleep too little. We let society invade our secret places with its drama-infused moment of crisis. We are fire housed with more information than we can possibly absorb. And while we are more connected than at any time in human history, we've never been more prone to isolation — stuck looking at screens rather than people.
So I check myself for symptoms of system overload and withdrawal. Those signs are different from down time which we all need. My Fitbit tells me if I'm getting enough rest. However, my body is a better indicator.
Within this first question I ask: Have I been exercising? How do I generally feel? And what's changed since the last system check? And, how many books have I read? For me the answers are, I've been exercising more but not up to my spring goals yet; I generally feel good, but I'm noticing some changes in eyesight and hearing.
The next question I ask is, how do I treat others? Do I listen intently? Do I focus on what they are really saying or am I just waiting to get a word in? If I can help, do I? Do I make time for others? Have I remained humble or turned dogmatic?
I don't want to become a crotchety old man who is liable to spout off at any time just because age gives me license. I want to give everyone the respect they deserve.
The third and last question I ask during this season is how do I want to be treated? As you get older doubts start to creep in about your capabilities. On a basketball court, they take one look at my gray hair and they instantly think they can take advantage of the "old man." As long as I can, I want them to regret that thought. I can still set a mean screen and have a pretty accurate mid-range jump shot. At about 230 lbs, I can clear out enough inside space as well.
That's the physical side, but what about the mental side? I'm not some piece of porcelain, but I want to be treated not too much differently than I was 30 years ago — with respect. No kid gloves required, though. I do want people to respect the one thing we all have so little of: Time.
Understand that if you call to ask me at the last minute to be part of a program you've planned, the answer is going to be a Southern no. I operate under the premise that "an emergency on your part is not an emergency on my part."
People are good at what they do and make it look easy, not always because they are gifted, but because they prepare. Most times it's a heavy dose of both.
And finally I try to stay focused all year on the subject of a very simple phrase that brings me perfect peace: He has risen. Hallelujah.

There is something irresistible about key lime pie. Like its cousin lemon meringue, key lime pie is mouth-puckering tart and a smile-making sweet, like a pie version of lime flavored starburst candy, but in custard form, surrounded by whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs.
This all American pie is easy to make, too. Key lime pie ingredients are simple: sweetened condensed milk, lots of lime zest and juice (preferably from key limes), and just enough egg to give it a good set.
Are Key Limes Necessary for Key Lime Pie?
Key limes are great if you can get them! They're from the Florida Keys, where they now grow wild, and are smaller and more tart than our standard Persian limes, and with yellow centers and rinds.
If you, like me, live nowhere near Florida, you can easily make key lime pie do with regular limes.
Key lime pie is one of those sweet indulgences that you probably shouldn't eat on a daily basis. But on a hot summer day? Or for a special gathering? This key lime pie is just perfect!
Key Lime Pie Recipe
If you are using a store-bought graham cracker crust, please follow the directions on the package to pre-bake. Store-bought crusts are thinner than homemade and don't need as much time in the oven.
This filling will be enough for a standard store-bought crust. A homemade crust in a regular pie plate will hold more filling. You should be able to double the amount of filling if using a homemade crust if you want a thicker pie, in which case you will want to bake it longer, perhaps 15 minutes, for it to set.
- 1 1/2 cups finely ground graham crackers (from about 9 crackers, 145 g)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp white granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp lime zest for filling plus 1/2 teaspoon for the topping
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup lime juice (from about 20 key limes or 4 to 6 regular limes)
Whipped cream:
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Make the graham cracker crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix the ground graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl.
Pour into a 9-inch pie dish and spread the graham cracker mixture with your fingers, all over the inside of the pie dish in an even layer.
You can use your fingers to do this, and then use the bottom and sides of a measuring cup or drinking glass to make smooth.
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside.
2 Make the lime filling: Put the egg yolks into a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer or whisking by hand, beat until the yolks thicken and lighten up a bit in color, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the lime zest and sweetened condensed milk for another 2 minutes.
Whisk in the lime juice until smooth.
3 Bake: Pour filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and bake at 350°F in the middle rack for only 10 minutes, until the filling is just set.
4 Chill: Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for an hour to overnight.
5 Make whipped cream topping: For a good sturdy whipped cream topping, it helps to start with a chilled bowl and very cold heavy whipping cream.
Pour the cream into a large chilled bowl. Add the powdered sugar (sifted is best) and vanilla. Use an electric mixer (or whip by hand if your gym membership ran out and you want the exercise), start on low speed and increase the speed to the highest level. Whip for several minutes until firm enough to hold shape.
Don't over-whip or you'll make butter.
Spread the whipped cream over the top of the chilled key lime pie. Sprinkle with a little more lime zest.
Chill until ready to serve.

Spice Route Malabar 2006
By Christian Eedes, 18 September 2013
The Malabar 2006 from Spice Route which looked flash two years ago has come on nicely. A blend of 64% Shiraz, 15% Mourvèdre, 9% Petite Syrah, 9% Grenache, 3% Tannat from Swartland vineyards, it spent 26 months in barrel, 40% new.
Red and black fruit, wood spice and a pronounced but entirely appealing earthiness about. Rich and broad, warm and generous. The fruit undoubtedly picked fully ripe but surprisingly well defined. By no means delicate but as the Western Cape winter lingers, such a wine certainly has its place.
Score: 90/100.

How much walking is enough?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established the following physical activity recommendations:
- Two hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (e.g., brisk walking) and two or more days of muscle-strengthening activity to work major muscle groups; or
- One hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity (running or jogging) and two or more days of muscle-strengthening activity to work major muscle groups; or
- Mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and two or more days of muscle-strengthening activity to work major muscle groups
If you meet these recommendations, you are estimated to be 30 to 40 percent less likely to experience a cardiovascular event. And, people who exercise are 65 percent more likely to avoid developing high blood pressure than those who are sedentary. Walking for fitness does not need to be especially rigorous to be beneficial. Even as few as 20 minutes a day can help improve your health.

Ten Pieces of Art to Love
For seasoned collectors, art lovers and people who are just to starting to look around, here is my selection based on the idea of love, lovers, sex and Valentine's. Yes, all those emotions that come from the abstract idea of love and the connection that it forges with our hearts can somehow be translated into amazing art. The fact that anyone, anywhere in the world can buy any of these pieces with the click of a button is even more enticing –not to mention revolutionary and unthinkable even a couple of years ago. And they can all be delivered to your doorstep. Just click on each picture and go straight to where you can buy them. Happy Valentine's!

"What is the purpose of LinkedIn?" my friend asked as we sat sipping our Passion Tango teas. She continued, "I don't get why all these people are trying to connect with me on LinkedIn. If I wanted to talk to someone, I would just pick up the phone."
I could see my friend's point. She is a small business owner and she wasn't sure if connecting on LinkedIn was really beneficial to building her business. Here are three key reasons where I see benefits in using LinkedIn:
1. Get REAL names of REAL people. Picking up the phone works if you know who you are trying to reach. I like that LinkedIn provides a way to do some sleuthing to figure out who I want to talk to, like business owners or hiring managers. Once I have a contact name, I can then figure out the best strategy to get in touch. If you want to do some information interviews to get some advice, LinkedIn is the perfect place to identify potential contacts.
2. Conduct career research. Use LinkedIn to figure out how successful people got to where they are. Look at profiles of people you admire. What type of education or training did they pursue? Where did they work and what types of roles did they take on before they got to where they are now?
3. Find points of connection before a meeting or interview. Recently, I was going to a meeting where I did not know some of the participants. I went onto LinkedIn before our meeting to see what we had in common. It made starting a conversation much easier!
My friend's comment got me thinking. I agree with her that there are many times when we really do need to pick up the phone instead of hiding behind our computer screens. But this does not negate the importance of trying varied strategies when trying to build a career or conduct a job search. As I reflected on our conversation later, I came up with eight more great reasons to use LinkedIn that I wish I had shared with her. Here they are:
4. Keep in touch with acquaintances, past colleagues, or references. The nature of work is becoming more transient. Clients that I see often have upwards of 5-7 employers on their resumes and it can be tricky to stay in touch if you aren't comfortable using a personal network like Facebook or when your contacts move on. That's where LinkedIn is great – you can keep the relationship professional and you always have a way to get in touch even if your contact changes jobs.
5. Get found by recruiters. Recruiters love LinkedIn. I have heard many stories of people being contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn, particularly for technical, leadership, and trades positions. The question then is "Why not use LinkedIn and see what happens?"
6. Provide more information to potential employers: LinkedIn is often used as a pre-background check. You should expect that you will be googled by a potential employer. Why not use your LinkedIn profile to highlight additional information that you were not able to fit on your resume? You can include recommendations from others, projects you have worked on, or articles you have published.
7. Follow companies and find out about upcoming positions. LinkedIn has become more robust over the years and now allows you to follow thought leaders and companies. This is a great way to stay current on new ideas and potentially see job opportunities from companies you are interested in before anyone else does.
8. Share and gain industry knowledge. I love the LinkedIn groups feature. You can research groups associated with your area of interest and then start to hear other people's ideas and contribute your own ideas. If you are currently unemployed, this is a fabulous way to stay up-to-date on the emerging trends and ideas. Imagine being in an interview and being able to share some tidbits of knowledge that you have gained through your active participation and contribution to conversations happening in your industry!
9. Show your face. Here we come to the great irony of job search. You are told not to put a picture on your resume, but then you are encouraged to put a picture up on your LinkedIn profile. For better or worse, the reality is that people will feel more connected to you if they see a picture of you. (Note: please make sure that you have a decent picture in your profile!)
10. Have an opinion and promote yourself. The tone of LinkedIn is different than a resume as it is often more casual. And did you know that you can now publish articles on LinkedIn? If you want to share professional ideas or opinions, LinkedIn is the place where this is welcome!
11. Keep changing your profile. Unlike your resume which is static once it is submitted, you can continually look for ways to improve your LinkedIn profile. You can build additional content and publish articles as well as update your profile status on a regular basis.
So there you have it. If you are skeptical about LinkedIn like my friend is, hopefully, now you have a few ideas to consider about how LinkedIn might benefit your career, job search, or business!

What is a Curriculum Vitae (CV)?A CV is an overview of your accomplishments, specifically those pertaining to academia. CVs are important for graduate students or other academic pursuits. Unlike a resume, CVs are often a few pages. A CV is a document that reflects what one has done in their career, therefore it is always growing. CVs are a scholar's identity.
A good CVs should include:
- Your name and contact information. In the upper left corner write your full name, phone number, and e-mail address. Some include their birthday and nationality as well. Make sure your e-mail is professional and that you use your full name, not a nickname.
- An overview of your education. Obviously list the colleges that you have attended, but also include your GPA if it is above a 3.0 and some of the most important courses you have taken. You may also wish to put academic awards here, such as the Dean's List, if you only have a few.
- Your academic and related employment. Explain exactly what you did in your job. Be sure to mention the title of the job and the name of the company you worked for. When writing description entries, be sure to be aware of gapping and parallelism. Gapping is when you use incomplete sentences in order to present information concisely but clearly. For example, instead of saying "I supervised all aspects of the project" say "Project Manager (2011-2012). Planned events. Handled all money. Held regular meetings with staff." Gapping allows you to cut out extra words and allows your potential employer to quickly read your CV. Parallelism is when you keep the structure of your phrases consistent. For example, you would say "supervised, held, and planned" but you would not say "supervised, held, constructing" because the phrase is not parallel. Be sure to put your work information in chronological order.
- Your research projects (including conference papers and publications). As with the other section, be sure to remember gapping and parallelism. Once again, explain exactly what you did. If you attended conferences, name the conference's full title, where it was at, and the paper you presented there.
- Your departmental and community service.
- Achievements, Additional Activities/Academic Groups/Professional Affiliations, Languages and/or Honors. Make sure you are specific on your role here and the accomplishments that you achieved with these groups. You can always separate these groups if you would like to. For languages, be sure that you put your level of expertise). Always list in chronological order.
- A reference list (either as part of your CV or as a separate page).

Ready for 2018?
Fall is barely started and we're all ready thinking about a new year. Why? The Placer County Master Gardeners released their new calendar and gardening guide for 2018.
Available at several nurseries and garden-related businesses in Placer, Nevada and El Dorado counties, the 26th edition of this popular publication focuses on "Unleashing the Secrets to Successful Gardening" with advice specifically for the Sierra foothills.
"In this year's calendar are some common strategies essential to success including watering, pruning, improving soil, identifying and dealing with problems such as weeds, invasive plants and disease, tool selection and general garden planning," said Susan Nelson, who co-chaired the calendar project with Carolyn McElhany.
The guide ($10) also is sold at the Placer County Master Gardeners' office and via its website.
These hard-working volunteers also will sell the guide at several upcoming events including the Auburn Home Show, Mountain Mandarin Festival and farmers markets in Auburn and Roseville.
It's a great way to plan ahead for another (and better) gardening year.

It can be hot in Singapore sitting in the airport waiting for your plane. And even worse, people can get really irritable when the plane is late. In observing masterful customer service representatives, I'm reminded of how "heated" work can get. Work life can be filled with pressure, stress, impatient people, and sometimes angry dialogues. So how do you keep your cool when things get heated, or times get tough?
Here are 3 things to remember to help you keep your cool.
1) Reframe – Before you fly off the handle, stop for a moment and try to "reframe" the situation. Look at the facts, and don't jump to any conclusions or negative assumptions. We create the meaning of the situation in our own heads, so how you choose to look at the situation makes all the difference in the world! Instead of focusing on the difficult, stressful or challenging parts of the task at hand, instead focus on the positive in the situation. Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to try something new, or develop a new skill? Maybe doing a great job on this difficult task will gain you that promotion you've been wanting? Maybe this project will help build and strengthen the working relationship and camaraderie between you and your colleagues, and your team will be better prepared for the next task.
2) Breathe and focus – when things get heated, it can be easy to say something you may later regret. Before you say or respond to a statement in a sensitive situation, take a moment to breath and focus. This will help clear your mind, give you time to cool down, relax your body, and formulate what you really want to say in your head. Count to 10. Just taking a deep breath activates your innate relaxation response. What you say after doing this will likely be much better and more effective than the reactionary or impulsive statement you wanted to say at first. The other person who is receiving your message will in turn respond to this, and you may find it to be a useful tool to de-escalate arguments or heated discussions.
3) Take care of yourself – your mental and physical well-being is important for helping you keep your cool. Be sure to get enough sleep, eat healthy, exercise, don't overwork yourself, and remember that there should be a life outside of work. People who practice a good work / life balance and overall lifestyle choices for keeping their body and mind in good shape, are less likely to loose their cool at work. Your stress levels will be lower, you'll feel better, and be more prepared to tackle the challenges when they do aries. Before long, you'll be the " coolest" person at the office!

While visiting the dentist do not associate anyone too nice, it's just a visit to the orthodontist, and more visit with a camera, do not cause me the thrill of nervousness. On behalf of the clinic Ortosfera I had intended to take a series of images of advertising on site at the customer's office in Gdansk Zaspa. The teeth themselves set in neat rows!

The Boarding House
It was Chicago Chef Week this past week, and we chose Alpana Singh's restaurant, The Boarding House, based on its fabulous four course Chef Week menu. I mean, how can you pass up glazed pork belly?!
When we walked in, the first floor was a bar-like setting, but the second floor seemed to be transformed into a sprawling dining room with a high ceiling covered in bottles and lights. When we sat down, I looked at the menu and was completely sold by the little gem lettuce because of the crispy pig ears. And I was completely right to order it - I think those pig ears even beat the ones they used to have at Purple Pig! Oh, the buttermilk dressing didn't hurt either.
Since this is Alpana Singh's restaurant, we had to try the wines. We ended up tasting 8 wines and getting 4 glasses. Of all of them, my favorite was the Gruner Veltliner from Austria. Apparently this is one of the top choices at the restaurant with its lemony aroma. I certainly did love it! Oh, and that's probably the sweetest manhattan I've ever had, but I'm not complaining!
This carrot soup starter was very rich but kept its carrot flavors. But the best was the candied ginger, which had a nice crunch to it.
If I didn't have lamb pancetta stuffed agnolotti the night before at Balena, I'd have swooned over the taste of these. They were creamy and cooked perfectly, but what really impressed me were those flavorful maitake mushrooms piled on top.
This seared sturgeon is lovely, but I can't say much about it because I was too focused on...
Lamb chops!!!!!!!! These were so juicy and tender that I wished there were more, especially because I had to let Andrew try it... If this is on their regular menu, I'm definitely getting it again because these are probably the best I've had in the city! Not only was I impressed by the protein, I couldn't stop eating those gnocchi - give me a whole bowl, please!
This s'mores tart was dryer than I had expected, but it was very rich in dark chocolate. And I wish the marshmallow cream was more gooey and warmer - I always associate s'mores with freshly roasted marshmallows that melts the chocolate into the crunchy graham crackers. But the speculoos was a really wonderful addition! I'm really happy to see the appearance of this spiced spread on a restaurant menu!
After a filling dinner, this was exactly what I was looking for to finish off with my half glass of Talbott Vineyards' pinot noir. The chiffon cake was light and fluffy while the crisped rice was the perfect crispy contrast. I pretty much licked this plate clean and saved a bite of the chiffon cake as my last bite of the meal.
As we paid the bill, we munched on these complementary chocolate cookies, which were absolutely delightful to end the dinner with. Boarding House, could you please sell these in giant boxes???
- For a date, sit on the second floor - the first floor is more noisy and bar-like while the second floor is restaurant seating.
- Have the waiters help you choose a wine - their suggestions for us were spot on! Plus, they allow you give a couple a taste in case you are debating between two different glasses of wine.

I took part in the JASA Mini Enterprise Programme in 2004 when I was in grade 10. I was the general manager of our company which was called Teen T's. Our business sold personalised printed t-shirts. Out of all the MEP teams running at the time, our team had the most innovative product, at least I thought so. Despite the unique idea at the time and the huge demand for our product, our group just managed to break even at the end of the MEP.
In 2004 I decided to start my own business, Texta Print. The business lead to me being chosen as one ABSA Top Five Entrepreneurs in 2005.
Just like other entrepreneurs, I experienced the hurdle of a lack of capital when I started the business. To overcome this I convinced my customers to pay me either all or half of the money up front. I rounded up my friends to be my employees. I also paid my employees on a commission basis. This, for me, was the beginning of my business journey. Texta Print and two other businesses that I ran through out university helped to put me through university.
As much as I love telling my story, I think that JASA's role in my growth is the more important story. Today I am a B.Com Honours graduate who will be eligible to qualify as a Chartered Accountant of South Africa (CA(SA)) at the end of 2013. I am in the process of growing my small property investment portfolio. I am also a member of the Black Management Forum (BMF).
My entrepreneurial spirit was unleashed by Junior Achievement. As I believe that JASA is an important organisation, I decided to keep the people that I met at JASA close to me. Through JASA I have met industry leaders who have contributed to where I am today.
JASA's purpose to any youth in South Africa is very important in that it opens up a whole new world of opportunity, thinking and teachings. My introduction to JASA has made me passionate about business and business's role developing the African continent.
As I share JASA's vision of contributing to meaningful economic participation, I call on all JASA stakeholders to join me in making this vision a reality.

Doctor Clyde E. Morgan, DC
Doctor Clyde E. Morgan, DC is the Inventor of the Carpal Solution Therapy. He first worked with his wife who was suffering with Carpal Tunnel from her work on a computer as a Bank Manager. Knowing the poor prognosis for Carpal Tunnel Surgery, Doctor Morgan was determined to help his wife avoid the long treacherous journey of repeated surgical procedures every few years. He knew with all the potential risks of repeated Carpal Tunnel Surgeries, it was not a path he wanted to see his dear wife go down.
Nightly he would massage her hand to help her overcome the finger tingling, hand numbness, hand pain and wrist pain. After several months, he knew he could not continue this nightly ritual for an hour. So, he develop a taping system to achieve the type of consistent gentle stretching required to restore flexibility to the injured soft tissue around the Carpal Tunnel and regenerate normal blood circulation to this area at the base of the hand. Working with his wife and then his patients he perfected a working prototype and then worked with medical device designers to transform the device into a product that people could easily use at home. He knew it required six weeks to heal injured soft tissue for most people. Dr. Morgan worked with hundreds of patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to develop an ideal treatment protocol that would work for the majority of people.
Doctor Morgan, then presented his invention to the team of Doctors at Eureka Medical who awarded it the best Consumer Medical Device invention in 2004. He teamed up with an impressive team of Doctors and Medical Device Professionals recommended by Eureka Medical to commercialize his invention and bring it to the people of the world suffering with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Now, the Carpal Solution Therapy has been used by over 60,000 people and it works for over 97% to put their syndrome in remission for years.
He is gratified to be helping tens of thousands of people with the Carpal Solution invention compared to treating less than a thousand people in many years of work as a leading chiropractor in the Kansas City Area. It is satisfying to know that he has helped so many people worldwide to relieve pain and avoid the complications and downtime of surgery. It is great to know that so many people have benefited from this medical technology. Dr. Morgan is grateful to the team at First Hand Medical for helping him commercialize the Carpal Solution Therapy. It has the potential to help millions of people globally.

During the recent Champions of Magic tour, we had a very special performance for the Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity. The charity grants wishes to seriously ill children and it was amazing to perform the show for over 500 of these incredibly brave children and their families.
Before the show we gave Harry, who is a huge magic fan, a backstage tour and also went to International Magic for a shopping trip! The plan was to show him around and teach him some magic. However when he started showing us what he can do, he blew us away with his skills, so we had to up our game! He's an extremely talented young magician and definitely one to watch.
Champions of Magic is coming back to London this summer for a limited run of shows - 17 to 24 July. Get your tickets here!

While at my sister's farm last week, my marmie brought me a copy of the latest Better Homes & Garden magazine. She had dog-eared an article about Maria Carr (writer of the blog Dreamy Whites) and her family's french farmhouse in Northern California. She knew I would be attracted to the way Maria expressed herself in her home.
One of the images in the article showed advent bags hung from two birch branches. I was so inspired by the idea! I knew it would suit my home and that our wee gnome would be delighted to climb a ladder and pull out a Wei Chocolate each day until Christmas. ; )
My husband found these birch branches in our back yard. I used two different types of muslin bags that I ordered online, as well as picked up at a craft store. I used dutch butcher twine to tie the branches together and number stamps with brick red ink for the dates.
My marmie also surprised me with a bowl au lait from Maria's shop:
{freshly washed duck and hen eggs from my neighbor}
