I don't know if there is another family who had the exact recipe that led to 2 yrs of pure torture for everyone but I will try to sum this up. My son 11 sees a therapist weekly, school therapist, tutor, meds doctor for hisADHD, mood disorder, anxiety and God only knows what else is down the line. I hate to use meds on my son and at 6 diagnosed ADHD and after every med tried focalin was what worked w/clonodine for sleep. Untill 2008 age 8 they closed his shcool that was the best in town and all his friends redistricted to a seperate school. He at end of 08 2nd grade he was socially and emotionally age appropriate. His adhd completely under control i thought I did it he'll be fine. He wanted to go to school with his friends and told him to try the school he was assigned to for 2 weeks and if he didn't make friends we'd change. He never said anything but i noticed he made no friends even tho I asked he said everything was fine. End of 3rd gr he confessed in a breakdown that he was bullied and tormented by 2 girls. I had them removed from his classes for the rest of elementary school and told him 4th gr to immidiatly tell me when something happend and we'd change schools. I will spare details but by oct that yr he was hospitalized he went from friendly, obidient, outgoing ,trusting and lovey to evil only way i can sum up his behavior. After he came home no public school would touch him. He had to go to a private school specialized for special needs kids where he was tormented and physically harmed. i tried to remove him but was out of my hands at that point.
He is in public school now a very nice one with good programs fab staff and he's still miserable, shut down, angry, and developed oppositional defient disorder. I have lost my son. He is on FOCALIN, RISPIRADOL AND CLONIDINE.Any one have similar situation or child with a personality change and any suggestions as to what worked for you?

these nicolas andreas taralis coats are so dark and severe, in a good way- that when a friend of mine sent me this well edited homage to classic noir film clips recently, i felt that the modern noir femme fatal would certainly be wearing them. perhaps even while listening to massive attack.

In Deed & Truth
I've often asked myself and wrestled with the question, "As a young single woman how can I practically fulfill God's call for all Christians to put "hands and feet" to their faith and love for their Lord?" You may be asking yourself the same thing.
For many of us, God hasn't called us to mission fields abroad, but he has called each and every one of us to serve those in need.
I've currently been reading through a book called "Sacred Singleness" by Leslie Ludy (I reviewed it here on my "Book & Movie Review" page on this site) and at the end of the book she talks about practical ways to minister to those who are in need. God used this chapter to speak to my heart and show me ways, however small, that I could love in "deed and in truth."
For me, this started with visiting each of the sites that Leslie Ludy mentions in her book. They are:
- www.worldorphans.org
- www.cryoftheorphan.org
- www.hopefororphans.com
- www.abandoned-orphaned.org
- www.helporphans.org
Through these sites you can learn further ways to help those in need whether it be financial giving, shoe drives, or even going on a construction, medical or simple outreach trip to interact with orphaned and needy children and show them the love of Christ.
(These are all sites that Leslie includes in her chapter "Getting Started Changing The World" in the book "Sacred Singleness"). The sites that organize frequent trips to orphanages around the world are:
Another amazing opportunity is a child advocacy ministry called Compassion International. (To visit their site go to: compassion.com).
With Compassion International you have a unique opportunity to sponsor a child through giving money providing them with opportunities they may not have otherwise. It also means you are able to have a personal relationship with them through letters and even having an opportunity to visit them and their family in their country.
My family sponsors a little boy from India and a little girl from Peru. I've been able to forge a special relationship with this little girl through letters. I've had the opportunity in my letters to share scripture and let her know she is cared for, prayed for and loved by my family here in the United States.
Leslie mentions in her book even using prayer as a way you can show love. Leslie's section on this says it so well that I'm going to post it here:
Here is a practical prayer suggestion from Family Life Today's orphan ministry:
"There are countless numbers of "waiting children" around the world and in our own country; kids who are up for adoption, hoping and praying for a forever-family. Pray for waiting kids whenever you are "waiting." Go online to find a waiting child listing. A few of these listings include: www.adoptuskids.org; www.rainbowkids.com; www.precious.org. Print out a picture and description of a waiting child and tape it to your dashboard. Every time you find yourself waiting--in traffic, at a stoplight, in the drive-thru--pray for this child. Plead with the Father on their behalf. Organize an evening prayer vigil on behalf of the orphan and waiting child. Invite other churches to join you as well. You can pray for children all over the world or you can ask your local foster care office for pictures and names of waiting children in your city to pray for. (You can also get these online.)"
God uses the smallest deeds to further His kingdom. As Leslie says so well in her book, "As you read through the practical ideas offered in this chapter, I would encourage you to pray that God's spirit would be your guide. Ask Him to stir your heart toward a specific cause. Ask Him to clarify how He might want to use your life to build His kingdom. Ask Him to give you courage to take the first step forward."
So whether or not God does have a future for you ministering abroad, ministering in your own home town, or using ministry in a way you never imagined, these are some practical ways you can take the first step forward to fulfilling His call in our lives to show love to the least.

What a great find! Thanks for sharing this very happy pic of John in Rishikesh.
i took pictures of john holding that camera. he filmed us fans! by the way, repeating myself once again: he looks gorgeous!
Will some of those be in your book? *hoping*
hi since! ALL my photos will be in my book. the good ones will be bigger, the not so good ones will be small but still worth seeing! they look gorgeous after some minor photoshopping just to update the color and take out scratches, etc. i'm very proud. if you consider my camera only had ONE button to press, no settings, nothing, it's almost a miracle i have such good photos!
Lizzie … looking forward to your book of memories and photos! They & you are true treasures!
Wouldn`t it be great if those films still exist? Imagine getting a DVD from Yoko in your postbox that contains "Lizzie Bravo – the complete fan reels" containing all the footage he took of you – certainly dated correctly 😉
Not that it`s gonna happen but hey, nice fantasy isn`t it?

Charitable giving has many benefits, including the possibility of being able to take a deduction on your tax return. Here are some things to keep in mind.
1. The first thing to keep in mind is you can only take a charitable deduction if you use Schedule A for itemized deductions instead of using the standard deduction.
2. You can only take a deduction if the organization is a qualifying charitable organization. You can ask an organization if they're qualified or visit http://www.irs.gov/app/pub-78/. Most churches, the Red Cross, most Food Pantries, Goodwill, etc., are qualified charitable organizations. You can never deduct payments to an individual as a charitable contribution.
3. Generally, you can deduct your cash contributions or the fair market value of most property. If you donate used clothing or household items, you will need to use the thrift shop value. Valuation guides can be found on the Salvation Army and Goodwill websites to assist you.
4. If you receive something in return for your giving, such as merchandise, goods, or services, you can only deduct the amount given that exceeds the fair market value of the benefit you received.
5. Keep a record of any contribution you make, regardless of the amount. The record can be a cancelled check, bank or credit card statement, payroll deduction record, or a written statement from the charity.
6. You can only deduct contributions actually paid during the year. For example, if you pledge $1,000 in July but only end up paying $300 of it by December 31, you can only deduct $300. You don't have to pay your credit card bill before you can take the deduction, making the charge by the end of the year is enough. Likewise checks do not have to be debited from your account by the end of the year, as long as you write it and send if off by December 31, you can count it. In years past the IRS has made special rules for contributions for disaster relief for situations that occurred before tax returns are due. These exceptions can be to your advantage.
7. If you make a contribution of $250 or more, you need a written acknowledgment from the organization. The acknowledgment must include the amount of cash donated and whether any goods or services were provided. If you donate property, the acknowledgment needs to include a good faith estimate of its value. If your donated property is valued at more than $5,000, you need to obtain an appraisal.
8. Approximately 275,000 organizations lost their tax-exempt status because they didn't file their annual reports for three consecutive years. If you donated to any organizations on the list prior to their losing their tax-exempt status, you can still claim a charitable deduction. Once the organization is on the list, and until they are reinstated, any contributions to the organization are not allowed a charitable contribution for income tax purposes. For a list of organizations who lost their tax-exempt status, visit www.IRS.gov.

That has been a question raised: are disenfranchised conservatives, looking for refuge from the Trump storm, welcome in the libertarian party?
Craig Dawkins, a fellow blogger on his site "Liberty thoughts," is not in any haste to welcome them in:
Conservatives don't need a welcome sign. They need to embrace a new ideology that acknowledges the value of every human being and seeks to promote equality under the law, accepts differences in race, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, and to stop trying to use government to impose upon individual freedom. In short, they need to fully embrace the non-aggression principle (NAP).
So in the end this is quite simple to resolve. Conservatives should embrace the NAP and join the cause for liberty. But can they do that?
This seems to be a local manifestation of a larger debate. There are two ways of thinking within the libertarian party: either we should roll out the welcome mat to all for electoral success, with ideals and principles taking a backseat; or that the libertarian party should be a closed group only open to the rare individual who shares the exact views of the rest of the members.
I can understand both sides of the argument. It is essential to have principles and ideals. Or else, what is the point? But then, we must welcome the dissafected and disenfranchised or, again, what is the point? It seems libertarians have a bad habit of looking down upon anyone who isn't quite libertarian enough.
It is a difficult proposition, I know. The party does not want to close itself off from political refugees; but then again, those refugees if they became organized could throw the party off it's proper course.
But I don't think we're really all that far apart, ideologically, between the disenfranchised left, right, and libertarians when it comes to liberty issues.
In the excerpt above, Dawkins states that Conservatives "need to embrace a new ideology."
It is one thing to be socially conservative. It is another to expect that the government to coerce and force people into compliance with conservative values. Such is the state of modern conservatism, but modern liberalism also expects the same out of government.
But conservatism does not really need to change ideology per-se, but rather look at things a bit differently. It is perfectly okay to remain socially conservative in the libertarian party, so long as you understand that it is not a function of government to make those personal morals and philosophies a matter of law.
Members of the libertarian party, old and new, have come to the understanding that no matter what we believe and practice in our personal lives, it is not up to us to dictate what others may do. That is true libertarianism. That is true conservatism, actually, though this is too often forgotten.
It is not proper to say that the Democrats have it right on social issues, and the right has it right on economic issues; in practice that has constantly been proved false. It is not proper to say that the libertarian party takes the good elements out of each party platform and dispenses with the bad; rather, libertarianism is a completely new (*) set of ideals above the typical spectrum of American party politics. But it can appeal to all those on that spectrum, because it is the ultimate compromise: Believe what you wish, practice what you wish in your own life; do not attempt to force it on me.
As for the other issues like the border, I genuinely believe we can come to a compromise on that, if we discuss it in a friendly manner, instead of resorting to accusations and name-calling.
Remember, conservatives that are even considering joining the libertarian party already have an aptitude for compromise. Otherwise, they would remain well entrenched in the collapsing GOP which will always peddle the old fashioned theocratic ideas, until the party fades away into oblivion. Let's discuss, let's chat about it; the liberty republicans, despite a couple of issues, are really not all that different from us.
We should make it clear that the libertarian party, no matter what the members may believe personally, will always stand for limited government at the end of the day. Social conservatism is not the problem, it's using government to enforce it. I think many republicans making the jump into the libertarian party understand this.
The bottom line of all this is, simply, libertarians need to be a little more diplomatic when dealing with those that may disagree with us.
If conservatives really do need to accept a new ideology instead of just thinking of it a little differently, some prominent state libertarians are not helping to facilitate that, the way they conduct discussions. Quite the opposite, it is turning people away. These brash libertarians need to be a little more diplomatic; I know it is easier to call names when a contrary opinion is voiced, but it would be much more effective if we take care to explain why that opinion is contradictory to the ideals of personal liberty.
The name calling and high-horse attitude has to end if the libertarian party wants to not only expand, but fully convince people of the merits of the philosophy as a whole.
*I say "new" because it is only now being taken seriously, though the philosophy itself has existed for a very long time.

Monday morning Bunny was in the office early getting her paper work done when Della walked in. "Mornin' Bunny"
"Well good morning Della, and it is a good morning isn't it." Before Della could comment, ask, or escape to her desk Bunny had started. "Oh, Della, I think I'm in love."
"With Jeb?"
"Well who else could it be? He is such a gentleman. He opens my car door and tells me my hair sparkles. We go to these romantic out of the way places I never knew existed. You know the kind with the red checkered table cloths and wine bottles with candles in them on the table. He asks questions about me. He does not want to talk about himself. Why he is so serious, all his attention is on me. He is so careful everywhere we go, making sure I'm taken care of and no one is going to hurt me. He even checks out every place before we go in." She twirled like a teenager in love, which looked quite silly for a close to middle age woman.
She turned to Della who had gone back to her desk to finish some paperwork while Bunny shared every detail of her experiences with Jeb. "I swear I could marry him. And, I know he is going to ask me to the Jaycees Auction this coming weekend, probably today."
Della just smiled and kept working.
Meanwhile 'Miss' Ella came in. "Bunny... you have that look in your eyes. What in the world have you been up to?"
"Oh, 'Miss' Ella, I may be in love."
"Miss" Ella's eye brightened, "Well do tell!"
"I've been seeing Jeb."
"Jeb, as in Jeb Jackson?" 'Miss' Ella looked over at Della who just shrugged her shoulders.
"Yes mamm. He is such a dear". She went on to repeat the exact story, almost word for word, that she had told Della earlier.
Della was busy with her paper work when the phone rang with a call for Bunny. With that Bunny excused herself and went into her office to take the call.
"Della", 'Miss' Ella said quietly. "What about Kathleen?"
"Bunny says its over between them."
"Well if so, it had to happen late this morning after I saw Jeb and Kathleen leave his place. And they did not look like they had 'broken up' to me. In fact it looked as if they were on their way to the Star Light Cafe for lunch."
As soon as 'Miss' Ella finished her comment, Bunny came out of her office. "I'm starving. I think I'll run over to the Starlight and get a sandwich. Y'all want anything?"
Della spoke up first, "I was thinking about a burger from Ed's."
'Miss' Ella chimed in, "Oh, I think something from Ed's would be tasty. In fact - let's all go. My treat!"
But Bunny was opening the door, "Golly 'Miss' Ella I appreciate that, but I'll take a rain check." With that she walked out and closed the door.
"Oh well," sighed Della. "This ain't going to be pretty."
"Bunny all of people should know better. Why Kathleen and Jeb have been together forever. I hear tell from Frank at the jewelry store that Jeb's been in lately looking at rings. And I don't think he was considering Bunny's ring size. Dear me."
At the Starlight, Bunny got excited when she saw Jeb standing at the counter. She hurried in, "Oh honey, what a surprise."
Jeb turned and the look on his face was anything but endearing. In fact, it looked as if he was seeing his life flash before his eyes. He recovered, "What brings you in here?"
"Lunch, and you, she said as she got close enough for him to kiss her. However that was interrupted when a sweet voice from over Jeb's shoulder said, "Oh, Bunny, it's nice to see you."
Bunny, stunned, look see Kathleen come up beside Jeb. Bunny replied," Well, Kathleen, I had no idea you were back."
Jeb stood there nervously.
"Oh, I am and I am so glad to be home. I missed Jeb so much. I couldn't dare think that he was all alone while I was gone. Why just the idea that he had go to dinner and visit nightclubs alone tore my heart up, so I hurried home. Right sweetie pie". She slid her arm in his.
With fire in her eyes, it was all Bunny could do to be nice. She could not decide whether to run and strangle Kathleen or kill Jeb. "I'm sure Jeb is happy to have you back also since he has been so lonely with you being gone." With that she turned to Walter, who had been watching this all play out, along with everyone else in the diner. "Walter, can I get a grilled cheese sandwich . . . to go?"
"Coming right up."
Back in the office, she went straight to her office. After a while, Della walked in to check on her, "You're awfully quiet."
"Oh Della, I feel horrible. I may just have to go home for the day."
"What caused that?"
"Probably the mayonnaise."
"I thought you got a grill cheese. There is no mayonnaise on one of those."
"Well, I used to always ask Walter to put it on my grill cheese sandwiches."
". . .And now it makes you sick."
"Does it every time."

Since November 2013, I am a Member and Global Design Ambassador for The Interaction Design Foundation. I am always looking for new learning opportunities and IDF seemed the right place to start, especially that I finished my Master studies. These are my thoughts for the whole experience that is interaction-design.org.
How it all started
I spend a lot of time on Twitter, flipping on Flipboard, reading the current "trends" and in September I found out that Interaction Design Foundation released a new course on Dashboard Design (didn't know about them 'til then). Being interested in Data visualization I pitched the idea to Marius (Grapefruit, Eterni.me) and he was more than eager to help. So I become a member of the IDF community (the memberships costs 98 EUR/year, discounted from 200).
Just to be clear, as stated in their website The Interaction Design Foundation - the IDF - is a ten year old transformative non-profit enterprise focused on educating, informing and stimulating the global design community. The organization has created a powerful cloud based publishing model, blending free video material and textbooks with an immersive web site and social media presence for thought leaders, students, authors, academia, and design professionals.
There is a pretty impressive pack of membership benefits: free materials, textbooks, videos, event discounts, personal mentorships, job search, local meetings, networking and many more - you can check them all out. Also seeing people like Donald Norman involved, you simply can't say no, especially if your are in the UX field (if you don't know who Don Norman is, I suggest you take a look). But in my opinion the one thing that stands out for IDF are the courses: the're plain awesome and a must for every design professional. They pack a serious amount of information, carefully picked and tailored so you can cover both basic and advanced concepts. From now on, you can simply forget those batch boring blog posts like 15 SEO techniques to help improve your design skills or 45 flat web design trends. The knowledge you get from IDF will definitely separate you from those crowdsourcing guys.
To finish the course you have to complete the exercises (with open answers or choices) and submit them to be evaluated by peers. And trust me - don't try to add weak answers. Adam Kyne does a great job warning you where to put more effort in your thoughts. I appreciate him for doing an awesome job - he warned me where I was trying to get off easily and guided me when I needed. Also - the courses take a lot of time and dedication to complete. Don't try to subscribe just for the fun of it. The good part is you can complete the exercises even after the course ends.
There are currently 9 courses you can take:
- Information Visualization: Getting Dashboards Right Ver1
- Human-computer Interaction Ver1
- A Beginner's Guide to User Experience
- The Psychology of Interaction Design
- UI Design Patterns for Successful Software Ver1
- Design Thinking: The Beginner's Guide
- The Psychology of Online Sales: The Beginner's Guide
- Gestalt Psychology and Web Design: The Ultimate Guide
- Quality Web Communication: The Beginner's Guide
For now I managed to finish three of them: UI Design Patterns, Getting Dashboards Right (both with Distinction) and Psychology of Interaction Design (one of the most demanding courses).
The efforts you pull are gladly rewarded. Besides the knowledge and networking you receive during courses, you get the Cource Certificate to validate your new skills:
Global Design Ambassador
In October 2013, IDF announced they are gathering a team of Global Design Ambassadors to help volunteer and promote the organization mostly by interacting with the LinkedIn community. Without hesitation I send my CV to Rikke Friis Dam and made it in the team. I think my over 5 years of volunteer work and involvement in the local community from Iasi (Romania) really paid off this time.
Like I said, I mostly interact on LinkedIn with enthusiasts and curious design folks. You can participate too in our conversations. Just head off to the Friend's of Interaction-Design.org Group - I bet you will find some interesting topics to tackle on.
Outside my online contribution, I managed to present IDF at World Information Architecture Day in Bucharest (Romania) organized by Grapefruit. There, I highlighted the most important benefits of joining IDF and did a quick tour of how a course progresses. Rikke was so kind to support us and we awarded the audience with 3 free IDF memberships. I was so glad to see IDF as a supporter amongst Evernote and of course, Grapefruit. I also presented a case study regarding how we file our taxes and complete the income Declaration no. 200. You should really check it out.
What's next
For now my focus is to be more active on LinkedIn and interact with even more passionate professionals. I started (slowly I must admit) to attend other local meetings and groups just so I can network and promote IDF when and where I can. Also I want to finish another three courses in the following months. As you can see - I like to keep myself busy.
In conclusion, if you want to have access to an impressive library of design resources and network with passionate and curious people, I recommend IDF. But I repeat... it will take time, patience and commitment if you want to fully benefit from the courses and the other opportunities IDF offers. Don't be a member just for the sake of it.

This week we're exploring the mysteries to singing success in this industry.
This week we tackle the eternal question; what's the secret to success in the modern music industry? Perhaps it's all down to achieving perfect vocal technique, or establishing an emotive communication in our performance? Maybe, to truly realize our potential we must seek to be more than just a singer, to be an artist, with our own unique musical identify. This week at Voice Council we'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
So the question is: In your opinion, what's the secret to a successful singing career?
Share your views on Facebook and our Forum!
Great Comments from last week:
Last week Craig asked: How do you know if a song is 'right' for you?
Josh W Drane wrote…
"If you can sing it with all you've got. If you feel hindered or otherwise uncomfortable with it, even if you're in your ideal practice environment, then it may not happen. I was asked to learn a song that was simple to play and sing, but I just felt hindered by the song and wrote one myself with my own similar story. By similar, I mean it was another song about the same theme".
Blake Holmes commented…
"If you are a professional, you work through keys. Your voice will settle on the best key you should do it in. I would think you'd know that".
Matt Mathews responded…
"It's not Rocket Science!! You just know inside".
Kerrie Garside wrote…
"You get to know where to sit a song in your range… you want variety and interest in your repertoire. Covers gigs are ALL about getting the crowd involved and originals are another animal all together. I find I need to sing them like 'covers' and I aim to get the same kind of involvement".
Thank-you for all your comments and insights readers. See you next week.

Sacramento's Blue Diamond sets another revenue record
Sacramento-based Blue Diamond Growers has posted another record revenue year.
Grower-owners attending the cooperative's 105th annual meeting Wednesday in Modesto were told that global almond sales revenue totaled $1.6 billion for the year ending Aug. 28, 2015.
That's technically the 2014 crop year, which exceeded the sales record of $1.5 billion set the previous year.
It was the fourth consecutive year that revenue topped $1 billion for the co-op's fiscal year. Records were set each of those years.
Almond growers have benefited from a sustained, double-digit percentage boom in almond prices this year, plus strong worldwide demand for almonds.
While prices for almonds – California's leading agricultural export – have hit record highs, Blue Diamond noted in a recent edition of the publication Almond Facts that "our recent history has been defined by drought-driven reductions in almond yields (and) almond supply shortages."
Blue Diamond has been on a sharp growth track since the 2010 arrival of Blue Diamond President and CEO Mark Jansen, who came to Sacramento from Schwan Food Co. in Minnesota, where he was credited with boosting the firm's food-service division by marketing brands to schools, restaurants and other customers.
At Blue Diamond, Jansen immediately emphasized global branding and aggressive development of numerous new products, including its Almond Breeze nondairy beverage and nut-based crackers. High-profile marketing campaigns included TV commercials broadcast during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London and the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Many new Blue Diamond products are developed at the 6,500-square-foot Almond Innovation Center opened in March 2013 at the cooperative's sprawling complex of buildings along C Street in downtown Sacramento.
Blue Diamond employs about 900 locally.
In mid-2013, Blue Diamond christened the first segment of its sprawling manufacturing and processing plant in Turlock.

Coal is the most damaging form of energy for climate change and human health. Europe must be coal free by 2030.
Europe has a coal problem. Even as clean energy sources grow, many countries are still reliant on generating power from coal. It has huge impacts – on climate change and on health.
Our research shows that in 2017, coal produced 15% of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions and 38% of the EU ETS CO2 emissions. In 2015, the latest year for which health figures are available, coal was responsible for at least 19,500 premature deaths across Europe.
Sandbag specialises in analysing these impacts and advocating for the phase-out of coal in Europe by 2030.
Our research shows:
- Phasing out coal is the simplest and quickest way to achieve substantial reductions in CO2 emissions;
- Renewables growth is uneven across Europe and will need to accelerate to replace coal.
- Coal power plants are still receiving generous subsidies – in the form of capacity payments, biomass co-firing revenues and generous ancillary and balancing revenues. Investment should be used to modernise the electricity system rather than keep coal on life-support
Sandbag works closely with the Europe Beyond Coal team. In 2017, we helped develop an authoritative up-to-date open-source database of all Europe's coal power plants, a video showing how air pollution from coal travels throughout Europe and developed a data visualisation map of Europe's coal plants.
Sandbag, working with partner organisations across Europe, has co-written three landmark reports on coal power plants in Europe:
"Europe's Dark Cloud" (July 2016) describes how air pollution from coal power plants causes millions of cases of asthma and bronchitis. It describes how air pollution from coal plants uniquely ascends into the sky from the tall chimneys, and rains down as mini-particles up to hundreds of kilometres away. This means that, even if you are walking in the mountains, you will always be breathing in pollution from the Dark Cloud of Europe's coal plants.
"Lifting Europe's Dark Cloud" (October 2016) describes how pollution limits for coal plants are so far away from what is possible, leading to health impacts 85% higher than they should be, and showing for every country what the benefits of tighter pollution limits would be. What's more, it shows over half of Europe's coal fleet has exemptions from the new pollution limits which came in from January 2016, listing the derogations of every coal plant in Europe.
"Why Every Country Needs a Coal Phase-out Plan" (December 2015) describes how coal power plants emitted 18% of all European greenhouse gases in 2014 – and from just 280 chimneys.
Every year we also publish a "European Power Sector review" tracking the electricity transition, with a strong eye on coal. The latest was published in January 2018, reviewing generation in 2017.
Our key work areas are:
- Analysis of coal plants to highlight where plant could and should be closed in Europe;
- Targeted analysis to support the phase-out debates in the EU and in key Member States;
- Targeted advocacy on major utilities and the new energy market players; and
- Continuing to push for an ambitious coal phase-out policy in the UK, without building expensive new gas infrastructure.

Blog Post
The CONSOB warning list features the names of businesses that are unlicensed in Italy.
- Reclaws International (reclaws.com)
La Commissione Nazionale per le società e la Borsa (CONSOB) has updated its blacklist with another unlicensed FX broker firm called TradesFX.
CONSOB explained that the brand 'TradesFX,' doing business through the website www.tradesfx.com, operates a foreign exchange platform that offers related trading services but doesn't hold the appropriate licenses or authorization to do so in Italy.
Join the Leading Industry Event!
The CONSOB warning list features the names of businesses that are unlicensed in the country, and which are also believed to have targeted local investors or made fraudulent claims to be associated with regulated entities.
TradesFX, according to its website, claims to be incorporated under the laws of the St. Vincent & Grenadines (SVG), a well-known offshore zone with very lax tax and legal requirements for registered businesses.
CONSOB turns an eye to crypto-
In addition to its regular warnings against FX and binary options brokers, the Italian regulator has also stepped up its game and went after illegal cryptocurrency brokers. The CONSOB follows in the footsteps of other authorities in Europe which have recently taken serious steps to curtail crypto activities and stem the flow of unregulated and non-compliant companies.
However, Italy has allowed financial institutions to deal in virtual currencies, just that they are advised to wait until formal regulations are announced. Potential complications may arise if Italy's stance becomes incongruous with that of the broader European Union (EU) or other member states.
In addition, the Italian watchdog has published a warning against a list of financial entities that have been listed as trading scams by other European financial regulators. This is why CONSOB advises Italian investors to check its registers before they deposit any funds with a broker, especially if the related broker used aggressive marketing techniques.
As the public authority responsible for regulating the Italian financial markets, CONSOB's main activity is protecting the investing public.

Maria Giulia Maramotti is the type of person who nimbly walks the line between two contrasting worlds. As the U.S. retail director for fashion house Max Mara, she is business-savvy, though with an emphatically creative vision. Italian born and bred, she also has an American sensibility and Manhattan-paced work ethic. Her evenings alternate between scene-y parties and cooking or listening to jazz music at home. She's markedly well dressed in cocktail or casual attire, but often swaps her getups for something sportier to go running, sailing, and biking. She effortlessly draws smiles with her boisterous charm, yet appreciates introverted moments alone just as much. Her predilection for art is another example of such paradoxes. Maramotti, who describes her taste as "dark and emotional," lives among her personal collection inside a Chelsea apartment full of expressive contemporary décor, graphic wallpaper, and rock-'n'-roll touches.
She moved to New York from Paris four years ago to take on her current roll at Max Mara, the Italian clothing company launched by her late grandfather, Achille, in the northern city of Reggio Emilia in 1951. Before helming American retail operations, the business school graduate cut her teeth in the company's Verona, Italy, store as a salesperson (following a year in investment banking), progressing to store manager in Milan, then eventually managing the French market.
Technically, she's an heiress, but the archetype is defied by her down-to-earth and warm disposition—further animated by her affable accent. "I'm not an 'It' girl," she says. "I'm very reserved." Perhaps Maramotti's modesty comes from the way her tight-knit family continues to run Max Mara's contrastingly huge business operation—a principle passed down from the founding patriarch. "The biggest gift that my grandfather gave me is this sense of family," she says.
Out of the office, that bond is just as strong.
Which helps explain why Maramotti adopted a penchant for art, inherited from her grandfather, mother, and uncle. She grew up going to museums, having casual tête-à-têtes about various artists, and being surrounded by works collected by her loved ones. In 2007, two years after his death, Achille's private reserve of contemporary art was moved into the bones of Max Mara's original production headquarters. It marked the birth of Collezione Maramotti, a compendium of several hundred permanent pieces on view to the public, sans charge—a concept Achille conceived in the '90s out of "an organic and genuine love for art."
"It was bittersweet when it opened," Maramotti says. "I grew up with a lot of those artworks in a very personal and private way, [but] seeing them [available to the] public is something to be proud of." Her favorite piece, a painting by Anselm Kiefer, holds an especially sweet spot in her heart. "That painting was in my grandfather's living room forever. Each Christmas evening, that was the place where we opened our presents."
When Maramotti bought her first artwork, she consulted with her mother, who told her, "It's your own collection, so I can't tell you what I think, but listen to your gut." Her gut led her to a glossy monochromatic Natasha Law painting of an underwear-clad woman. From there, the 31-year-old's apartment grew into a compilation of her passions and personality. The 13 drawings, paintings, sculptures, and photographs that make up her collection are installed side-by-side with special pictures, handwritten notes, and momentous relics. In the entryway, two gestural black-and-white Jenna Snyder Phillips paintings, also of women's forms, lean against the wall, waiting to be hung. In that same hallway are a Rolling Stones poster (a counterpart to two of her tattoos, one that says "Gimme Shelter," and another that replicates one of Keith Richards's) and a Max Mara campaign starring Christy Turlington, shot by Steven Meisel. Near the kitchen, a pair of Polaroid images by artist Beatrice Pediconi hang adjacent to family photos affixed on her refrigerator. "That's me," she says proudly, pointing to a picture of what appears to be three little boys, but is actually Maramotti with her brothers vacationing in Sardinia as children. "I was a tomboy." She speaks equally as tenderly about the Pediconis, a 30th birthday gift from her uncle. "She pours colors into a huge bathtub, and either films it or takes Polaroids to see how the water and colors react."
The Phillips, Law, and Pediconi works are indicative of Maramotti's affinity for female artists and emotional feminine aesthetics. Her eye perpetually scans for such work, not just for her own walls. On a larger, more corporate scale, she seeks out talent for the Max Mara Art Prize for Women. The bi-annual competition, in collaboration with London's Whitechapel Gallery and Collezione Maramotti, aims to support and nurture female artists, the ultimate prize being a six-month Italian residency. (In our June/July 2015 issue's Art column, we covered this year's winner, Corin Sworn.) Maramotti is not involved in the judging—she leaves that to the "professionals," rather acting as more of a "recruiter," similar to how she discovers new artists for Collezione.
Still, her favorite art is personal. "I have a lot of really good friends who are artists," she says. In fact, her favorite pieces—three char- coal prints on rice paper—are by boyfriend Adam Helms. A case of bias? Certainly not; she was a fan before ever meeting him. "When we met, I didn't recognize the face, then he showed me his work—I was like, 'Oh my god, you're Adam Helms.'"
On the occasion that Maramotti is able to retreat from her busy life, her apartment is her sanctuary. She heads home, pours a glass of wine, cooks for herself, and takes a look around at the meaningful keepsakes, both big and small, manifested on her walls. "That's my go-to moment."

Many of you are wondering how you can get involved in participating in the Life: Simplified Project. We didn't anticipate such a large response, so we made some adjustments in order to open the community up in a big way.
There are 3 ways you can get involved. You can choose to do one, or do all three. Totally your choice.
Do the Life: Simplified Project
You may be asking how to do this project. We have left the gates pretty wide open on this one, but it's left a lot of room for questions and direction. We don't want anyone confused on how this works, so if it helps to offer some guidelines, here they are.
- Choose an area or areas in your life that need to be simplified. In my case, I chose Home, Time Management, Food, and Homeschool. You can find more details on why and how in yesterday's post. The areas are endless, however. Think about where or when you feel most overwhelmed. What can you do to simplify in order to bring more peace? It may be a matter of rearranging or changing things for a season. It may mean subtracting some things altogether in order to make space to breathe.
- Create goals in these specified areas. Next Monday I plan to post my goals for Home. I will give you a hint here: It will begin with a major purge. That's one of my goals. In order to get my home into a more peaceful state, I need to simplify it.
- Begin working towards these goals. Then you can choose to do the following.
Pinterest Community Board
We have decided to open the Pinterest Community board for all those interested in joining the challenge and pinning their progress. You can write a blog post up and pin the post. You can take before and after photos and pin those. Also, feel free to pin tools and resources you find helpful in simplifying your life, including affiliate links (be sure to disclose), however, any spam will be deleted and multiple offenses will result in deletion of the pinner.
In order to join the board, you must follow these important steps so I can add you:
- Follow the board here. Pinterest requires members of a community board to follow the board before they can be added.
- Post your Pinterest name in the comments so I can add you. You can find this when you go to your Pinterest profile, at the end of the url. Like this ---> http://www.pinterest.com/christinwrites/ <---- Although my name is Christin Slade, my Pinterest profile is under christinwrites.
Link Up
Each Monday there will be a link up for those who would like to link up their posts and read the progress of others in the project. I find it's important to remain inspired and motivated by reading other people's stories. So please DO share your stories and your progress!! If you are not a part of the Pinterest board, we will pin your posts to it to help others and it will drive traffic to your blog.
You can visit the other bloggers leading this project here:
- Teaching What is Good
- SkipperClan
- Serving Joyfully
- Everyday Family Living
- Zohary Ross
- Brown Paper and Strings
- Simple Living Mama
- LaToya Edwards

Our hashtag for this project is #lifesimplified. You can use it on Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+.
Looking forward to a productive and meaningful 2014!

|Object moved north to south approx 40 deg.in 15 sec. and stopped. Remained in that position till 0130am 10/22/99. at that time i went inside. Went back out at 0430am 11/22/99 object was still there but had moved with relations to stars to the west and was not quite as bright.
10/21/99 1135pm I went outside and was facine east. I looked up and saw a bright object traveling from the north in a southern direction approx 10 deg. easr of straight up. I watched it for approx 15 seconds. I could not see any flashing lights and my first thought was it is a satalite. It seemed quite high and I got the impression that it was reflecting sunlight because it had the same shine as the moon which was approx 20 deg west of the object. At that point the object stopped and stayed in that position. I went inside and got my 7x50 glasses and my wife to come out and see it. She said she could see a small flashing on the left side but I could not see any other lights At that piont it was approx 20 deg to my s/sw. I thought at the time it must be very large to be so bright because I got the sense it was very high also. I kept checking on it till 0130am 10/22/99 and went in. It did not change its position other than to move in relation to the stars and the moon during that time. At 0430am10/22/99 I went out to look at it again and it had moved to approx 35 to 40 deg above the horizin in the west. The morning star, Venus was comming up in the east at that time and the brightnes of venus was very close to the brightnes of the object the previous night. The object and the morning star were approx 150 deg apart at that time (0430am). I have seen many satalites and this was at least 2 to 3 times brighter and larger. The object and the planet Venus were approx on the some latitude.

Weddings + Events
We consult with you about the mood you want to create, what type of music you like, and the age-range of your guests. Using that information, Danny creates a set list and order for the evening. The list serves as our guide, but the experience adds another element. Based on the energy on the dance floor, songs get rearranged, mashups happen, a new song gets thrown in last minute, grooves we've never done before occur ... all based on what's happening in that moment. WE NEVER KNOW UNTIL WE'RE THERE! Our goal? Music that is responsive to you, your guests, your event, so that we create a truly unique, dynamic, and energetic experience.
If you are looking for classical preservice music or would like to walk down the aisle to something more contemporary, we perform custom arrangements of your favorite music for your special day: Pachabel to Bach, Elton John to John Mayer. As a guitarist/vocalist and cellist duet, we provide accompaniment for the preservice (20-30 minutes before), each of the processionals, the ceremony, and the recessional. We can also perform for cocktail hours following the ceremony before performing as a larger ensemble for the reception.
Every wedding and reception is different but it may go something like this; we start with some of the classics and maybe a slow dance song that everyone knows ("My Girl," Sinatra, The Beatles, etc.), get the dancing going, and then seamlessly transition to each new song, building the energy in the room. One of our goals is that your guest's end of the night conversation goes something like this:
"Hey, are you going to the after party."
"I can't. I'm exhausted. I've never danced that much in my life!"
Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production has a wealth of experience playing corporate events. Let us set the right tone for you. Whether it's a brand launch, a store opening, or your annual 400-person holiday party, we customize music volume and energy to fit. We can also provide you with wireless microphones for any announcements or presentations.
Having a private party? Live music makes for a very interactive environment! We can perform in any range from a 3-piece trio to a full band. We've been a part of birthday celebrations, cook offs, and block parties. Your music. Your event. Our pleasure!
We've had the honor and privilege of performing at over 150 weddings,
receptions and events. Here are a few of the kind things our
brides & grooms and clients have said about us:

The Benefits of Leasing
Vehicle leasing is now more popular than ever. In fact, 29-36% of the 15 million-plus cars sold in the United States every year are leased. So why is car leasing so popular? What are the advantages of auto leasing?
Auto Leasing is More Affordable
Monthly lease payments are significantly lower than a conventional purchase finance agreement so you can get much more car for your money. In most cases, when leasing a vehicle, you will not be required to put any money down other than fees.
Pay for What You Use
When you lease a car, you only pay for the amount of the car's value for the time that you are actually using it, plus interest. Why pay for the whole car when you only plan to use it for a few years?
Just turn it in
When you lease is done you can just turn it in vs. worrying about being upside down in the vehicle your trading in.
Tax Benefits of Leasing
Financial advisers and asset experts agree that you should purchase items that appreciate in value and rent or lease items that depreciate in value. The vast majority of new automobiles begin to depreciate in value as soon as you drive the car off of the lot and continue to do so. There are also many tax deductions that favor leasing which you can discuss with your CPA.

Pumpkin Pecan Praline Parfaits
Pumpkin. Pecan. Praline. Parfaits. Try saying that 10 times!
Maybe you love pumpkin pie, but maybe you hate the preparation involved with actually baking said pie. Or, maybe you have an inexplicable fear of pie crust. Or, maybe you simply just suck at baking. If you just mentally checked off any (or all) of those imaginary boxes above, then these parfaits are the answer to that pumpkin pie craving you've been having since September.
All you have left to do is add these ingredients to this week's shopping list, make this recipe, and go enjoy your glass of so-much-easier-than-pie-but-still-tastes-like-pie goodness!
Pumpkin Pecan Praline Parfaits
Makes roughly 12 individual parfaits, or 1 large trifle
For the Maple Whipped Cream:
1 pint heavy cream
1-2 TB pure maple syrup
For the Pecan Praline Sauce:
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1-2 pinches cinnamon
10 oz prepared caramel sauce (I used King's Cupboard brand)
For the Pumpkin Filling:
2 (15-oz) cans pumpkin
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
Kosher salt
1/4 to 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
20 gingersnap cookies, crumbled
Make the whipped cream: By hand or with a mixer, beat cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Sweeten to taste with maple syrup by gently folding it into the cream.
Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, toast pecans over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Add cinnamon and toss to combine. Remove the pan from the heat, and add the caramel sauce, stirring well to combine, and allowing the caramel to soften and begin to melt. Set aside.
Make the filling: Whisk together the pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a small pinch of salt. Sweeten to taste with maple syrup. Start with less—you can always add more! Gently fold in about 1 cup of the whipped cream to lighten up the pumpkin filling.
Assemble the parfaits: In small parfait or wine glasses, layer the ingredients in this order: Gingersnap crumbs, pumpkin mixture, whipped cream, repeating with a second layer of each. Garnish each parfait with more gingersnap crumbs and a drizzle of the warm pecan praline sauce. (If the sauce thickens up too much while you're assembling the parfaits, simply warm it back up over medium-low heat.)
Make-ahead instructions: Assemble parfaits without the gingersnap crumbs in between the layers. I've written the recipe this way, because the cookie crumbs will get soggy if you leave them in and then let the parfaits sit a while, but if you're into that soft-cookie texture then go ahead and follow the instructions as written above! Otherwise, start with the pumpkin mixture in the bottom of the glass, add whipped cream, and repeat with a second layer of each. When ready to serve, garnish with crumbled gingersnaps and a drizzle of the warm pecan praline sauce. (Again, if the sauce thickens up too much between preparation and service, simply warm it back up over medium-low heat.)
Note: Servings will vary depending on the size of the glasses you decide to use. You can also make this in a trifle dish if you want to cut down on assembly time. It will be delicious either way!
What's your all-time favorite kind of pie? Share yours in the comments!
Cheers! Alex

JOIN US – 5 Steps to Success
Thursday, March 16, 2017
12 Classes – Thursday Evenings
5:00pm PST | 8:00pm EST
Core Alignment NLP Coaching Processes and Tools creates awareness and acceptance to align clients so they can awaken to responding in a more resourceful way. These transformational conversations will take you and your clients through steps that easily lead to success. Creating clarity, setting intentions, gaining assistance, removing resistance, stepping into purpose, recognizing core values and stating what is truly important at the core level, leads to achieving more of what is really wanted.
This 12 week course creates neuron paths that reprogram people to live a life that is in alignment with their core purpose, and thus an attitude of gratitude naturally evolves in their lives within their careers and relationships.
Using scripts that have been carefully constructed in applying the principals of Neuro Linguistic Programming, makes this course applicable for beginning and advanced coaches who are ready to assist clients to step into more of what they want, and show up more masterfully in their lives.
Click here for a sample of what you will learn.
Here are some comments from past graduates:
"This program totally transformed my business. I was a practicing Certified Life Coach and was unable to build my business. During this 10 weeks I became a Certified NLP Coach and with this professionalism I went from 2 clients to 8 well paying clients. I now know what to do to get what I want and how to ask for it."
"After just one session I knew that I wanted to be a Core Alignment Specialist, this styles is so different, so complex yet so simple at the same time."
"A natural attitude of gratitude comes easily when you know how to ask for what you really want because you usually get it, I know I do now and my clients share how now they do too."

When couples reach out to us, often they are primarily wanting to get an idea of where to start after getting engaged. Hey it's an exciting, overwhelming and somewhat confusing time, totally get it!
We love getting to start the process with couples from the beginning because we are able to first understand what the couple's priorities are for their wedding experience. We take that information and build an outline of vendors who we feel would be not only a good match based on style and budget, but also someone who would vibe well with the couple. Building relationships is important to us, as planning your wedding is personal so having a connection really makes a difference.
Once we have established a budget, style and must-haves list, we begin the venue and event partner selection process. Then we review each venue's amenities such as tables & chairs being included, having an onsite getting ready area for bride and groom, kitchen/staging areas etc. It is easy to get attached to the look/style of the venue, but we encourage couples to see a side-by-side comparison break down of at least three venues.
The top three venues will then get a mock-up budget breakdown and design concept for the couple to choose from. You can read more on getting started with selecting your venue & vendors here.

Trade 48 | Travel Storytelling Getaway
The Travel Storytelling Festival. A cousin to Yestival (trade 26) in both an overlapping community (at least from the small British contingent) and as a weekend revolving around the telling of various pursuits, ventures and experiences. Except the field in Surrey was swapped out for a cosy Chateau in Belgium. When Caroline - one of the organisers who I'd also met at Yestival - invited me to speak there I said I had no idea what I was doing in February yet... but sign me up and I'll find my way there somehow.
For the weekend under this roof this group of ~120 strangers from various corners of Europe gathered to hear and tell stories, listen to live music, attend workshops, drink beer, photograph and, if the packed schedule became too much, ease up in any number of spots inside and outside the Chateau. The photos tell the rest...

Ladies and gentleman and car collectors, we have the F-1 S with all the S body parts including integrated tail spoiler, side skirt, and the real robotic F-1 transmission, LARGER 14.2 front rotors vs 13 INCH on all other models, with ALUMINUM CALIPERS TO REDUCE UNSPRUNG WEIGHT, 10% STIFFER SPRINGS, SKYHOOK electronic suspension, driver adjustable exhaust for the extra oomph that announces there is a real Exotic car collector in the house. It also sits 10 mm lower than its pedestrian cousins. It also features a different steering wheel made for more sporty driving and different seats with alcantara inserts for better comfort and grip should you decide to test the Italian handing. You can see it does NOT have a shifter in the middle of the console. This one IS THE REAL LIMITED PRODUCTION F-1 S WHICH IS A TRUE COLLECTOR CAR AND ALSO THE FASTEST AND MOST FUN . It has been called the Gran Turismo S with robotic shift,Gran turismo MC, Gran turismo F-1 etc etc....the fact is , this is the fastest and most efficient transmission ever offered on any year Gran Turismo as it does have double plate clutch that is actuated by computer control servo motors that replaced your left foot's function. It shifts with a touch of your finger and because it does not have a torque converter that weighs a hundred pounds wet and robs power. This is the quickest and most responsive Maserati Gran Turismo because it not only transfer more power to the rear wheels, it also shifts faster than Michael Schumacher ( 100 MILLISECOND). Only 299 ever made for the US market. That is what makes this a rare car and one of the more expensive versions with a sticker of $144K even back in 2009. One of the best endorsement i have ever heard was from the Ferrari/Maserati dealer's head mechanic who told me " this is the only Gran Turismo i will own for myself" . Now what more do i need to say? FYI it does have auto mode so if your fingers are too tired to touch the paddle shifter, it will even do it on it's OWN!!!

COMPLETE SERVICE DONE WITH OIL FILTER, AIR FILTER, CABIN FILTER, WIPER BLADES,BRAKE FLUID FLUSH, RADIATOR FLUSH, DRIVE BELT INSPECTED, ALIGNMENT DONE WITH NEW TPMS SENSORS and TPMS ECU, NEW CENTER WHEEL CAPS, NO WHEEL RASH, NO DOOR DINGS AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL VARIO CAM CHECKED AND CLUTCH WEAR IS AT 31% SO LOTS OF LIFE LEFT.

When my son, Davis, was young he used to say that he loved Mommy best, Grandma second and Daddy third. My mother returned his feelings tenfold.
Her devotion to him only increased as he grew from an infant to a toddler to a boy. Her house was transformed into Davis' second residence, complete with his own room, toys, books and clothes. She was constantly thinking up new activities for them to enjoy together - a large cardboard box was turned into their clubhouse and the basement rec room became an imaginary hockey rink.

X and I talked last week and she's certain she's ready to go back to shared custody. I'm not against that at all - the kids need their mom. We'll see. So we're back on 3/4, meaning, I get them 3 days one week, 4 days the next.
She thinks I need to change the title of this blog from "A single full-time dad..." to whatever. Whatever. I'm still single (momentarilly) and I don't feel any less full time, even if she has them 50% of the time. When she has them I get calls all the time, "Tell Zeke not to throw toys at his sisters" or "Marni doesn't want to go to bed" or "Lilly won't eat her dinner." I report, you decide.
When X gets the kids, there's a bit of a ritual I indulge in. First of all, The Nap. MMMMmmmmmmm... "The Nap". One or two hours of uninterrupted sleep. Second thing I do is run to the liquor store for beer/wine/both so I can, well, cook a lot of brisquet.
Third thing I do is start cleaning the up the devastation left by a children aged 6, 4, and 2. You've read me bitch about this before: Froot Loops stuck to table legs, jello smeared on the coffee table, socks flushed down the toilet. Standard perenting blog stuff, I admit.
At the risk of stifling reads by all but the hardcore, I still have to enumerate these things because my life is full of this. Chaos. And if you like the Marx Brothers, you know that chaos is funny.
Things I found today after my kids left:
- A snow boot full of Lucky Charms.
- A plastic dinosaur, several Lego's, a plastic whistle, and a half-empty juice box, shoved almost inextricably (and completely inexplicably) into the front seat of a Barbie Jeep.
- A wastebasket shoved far under someone's blankets with the wastebasket full of Beanie Babies and potato chips.
- Little shoes in my bed.
- One of my shoes filled with a crushed up poptart, Mardi Gras beads and a tiny toy car.
- A Visual Quickstart Guide embellished with new artwork.
- Bath toys and several dish towels in the dryer.
...and the night is young.

Welcome to day 2 of Yorkshire week - A full 7 days dedicated to my favourite Yorkshire reviews and recommendations. Today's post is brought to you by Tasha from Hello Freckles and features a quirky and quaint place to eat in York.
Earlier this month we enjoyed a family day trip to York for my Mam's birthday. I've been to York a fair few times now and it always reminds me of Durham with the cobbled streets and some quirky shops. Usually when I've visited before I've dined in chain restaurants like Nando's and Byron Burgers, but this time we went to an independent little pub to see what they could offer.
Hidden above the Trembling Madness store, on Stonegate in York City Centre, is a small pub, with an old English feel to it. I'll put it out there right now, taxidermy and animal heads kinda creep me out, a lot, so I wasn't too keen on the wall display. That aside, the pub did have a charm about it.
The House of Trembling Madness serves a range of beers which are also available to buy in the shop downstairs. I had a browse and there were so many to choose from, from your more typical Brooklyn Brewery to Einstock, La Trappe and many more. I spotted a strawberry beer and a few obscure flavours too, so I guess there's something to suit all beer/ale tastes!
I shared the huge Yorkshire Platter with my Mam and we had a bowl of salad each too! I even tried a pickle which isn't something I would usually do. I'm the kinda girl who takes the pickles and gherkins off burgers and discards them with the tomatoes. The ones on the platter weren't too strong and the taste worked well with the cheese. I tried charcoal cheese for the first time (and black pudding - accidentally - as it was on the top of one of the pork pies) which just looks odd but tastes great. Cheese tends to be a shade of yellow or orange, sometimes with a bit of blue, but I'd never seen black cheese before. Obviously looking at it, I was a bit hesitant to try it, but it just tasted like a mild cheddar. Not sure I'll be running out to buy some to eat with my crackers and olives any time soon, but if I order another platter, I'll definitely eat it.
My Dad and sister, Lucy both had a Mad Burger ( Dad had blue cheese and Lucy had smokey ). It's unusual that they served the burgers with a salad bowl rather than chips, but then again, the burgers were pretty large. The burgers were around £6/6.50 each and the platter £9, so very good value for the size of the meals.
If you're passing by the House of Trembling Madness, it's definitely worth a visit, even if you just pop in for a drink. We visited around 12:30/1pm on a Friday and not long after we arrived, it was very busy. Since it's quite small, I'd recommend going along early if you can.
Where's your favourite place to eat in York?
Thanks Tasha for a lovely review - definitely one to try if you can tear me away from Betty's
