Hey huns. Whut is up?
I know the weekend was literally just yesterday but I'm already planning my next weekend activities as I've suddenly gotten it into my head that I need to see all of London. Like all of it. Every little bit.
You see, I'm worried I'm missing out. I'm worried that there are a lot more fun / exciting / cute places that I haven't yet seen or more importantly Instagrammed. My fomo has evolved from edgy, warehouse parties to 'fun' cultural day time activities. Cool story bro.
So I'm planning where to go next that I haven't already been. Places like Chiswick High Street and the new food market in Elephant & Castle or the Dinosaur park in Crystal Palace and Edith's House in Crouch End! – all these pockets of London need to be explored. Immediately. And while we're at it can we just have four-day weekends already because two days ain't enough to check off my list and also can we invent a way to never be full and never put on weight but still eat all the food because that really would be #livingthedream.
Aaaaanyway this post is not about weekends or scientific discoveries to come, no, it's about those that have already been. More specifically in the form of a trip to the Horniman Museum & Gardens.
I decided that I wanted to visit the other Sunday when my boyfriend was instead angling for a day sloth-ing about on the sofa and watching football whilst I bought him food. No such luck there pal, put your shoes on we're getting on the overground and going to Forest Hill.
I do love any excuse to get the ginger-line. It truly is the best tube line.
So off we went in the direction of saaaaf east Landan, enjoying some tube japes on the way when I missed the train at Hoxton and my boyfriend didn't. Oh how we LOL'd at my anxious little face as he boarded the carriage whilst the doors closed on me and I stood on the platform like a lemon thinking 'WTF WHERE DID HE DISAPPEAR TO?!!!!' before realising he'd made it onto the damn train.
THANK GOD we were on the overground and I could phone him and tell him to wait at Shorditch High Street otherwise we may never have been reunited! Oh the horror! See I told you the overground was the best.
So yeah we made it to Forest Hill and on arrival promptly took the wrong exit out of the station, so we looped back round, through the under-pass and then started ambling up the swiftly inclining London Road towards the Horniman Museum & Gardens.
They don't call this place Forest Hill for nothing.
(and yes I did make that joke on the day and no my boyfriend did not laugh, the swine.)
By the time we reached the musuem I was feeling the heat. Wearing my much loved Jaded cagoule made for somewhat sweaty attire and I am also incredibly unfit at the moment so yeah I was hot and out of breath by the time we got to the entrance BUT it wasn't raining and we were treated to a nice-ish view of London.
I say nice-ish because there are a couple of council blocks right in the middle of the view which aren't exactly beautiful London sky-line material and as you may have noticed in the pic above, a fairly moody sky. However; in the distant fog we could make out the Shard and in the foreground was this adorable bandstand.
I'd heard rumours that there was an Alpaca or two living on the grounds so I made a beeline for 'animal walk' and was not disappointed.
Seriously though, that widdle face. Ugh. I want one. No actually I want him. Rupert. Doesn't he look like a Rupert? I would definitely call him Rupert.
They also have some guinea pigs which my boyfriend thought were rabbits. Eye roll. A few goats, some rams, some actual rabbits (including a super-sized one) and also some chickens which were being terrorised by a gang of small children. Poor chickens.
The gardens themselves are very pretty and fairly large. There is a beautiful conservatory which was unfortunately shut but is located right next to the cafe so, to me, it makes no sense that they're not using it as a place for customers to sit?!
I also thought it would make a lovely wedding venue and before any of my 'friends' start: NO this does not mean I'm thinking about getting married or even engaged. It was just a passing thought. (But yes you can hire it out for weddings although it's booked out until summer 2018 but yes I did put us on the list. I'M KIDDING!!! *plays out Friends episode in head where Monica puts her name down at the Plaza*)
After keeping my thoughts to myself about the consevatory, we did a bit of a circuit of the garden, stopping for a while to admire the incredibly colourful Dahlia's – my boyfriend even offered to pinch one for me, what a guy – before it obviously started raining, at which point we legged it into the museum itself.
The museum is free to visit although you do have to pay for the Dinosaur exhibit and the Aquarium. We decided to check out the free bit first and then see if we could be arsed to pay to go into the other parts. Also I was still tired from walking up the hill so was already thinking about what cafe we could go to for cake and a sit down. Oh hi! Did I mention that I'm old?
Inside the main room of the museum is basically a very small version of the natural history museum. Lots of stuffed animals – although some of them looked plastic so not sure whether they are all taxidermies. There is a giant walrus in the middle of the room but I preferred the pretty butterflies, the birds and the weird looking tiny monkey.
My boyfriend and I also began an impromptu game of 'that's you' where you basically point at something and say 'that's you' – complicated I know – but it always makes me laugh, especially as you try to find more and more outrageous, hilarious and weird things to point at (my boyfriend was obviously the tiny, weird monkey and I think I may have been the walrus. FFS).
We continued the game downstairs in the music gallery – *points at thin, weasley looking recorder* Babe, that's you. LOL. We funny. – before we peered through the doors to the dinosaur exhibit and decided it looked shit enough to warrant us not buying tickets.
We headed back out into the now nice and sunny afternoon and toyed with the idea of going to Dulwich Village (another place I want to go, doesn't it sound so quaint and rural) but decided that it was a stupid idea as we'd have to get a bus and a bus wanker my boyfriend is not. (I however have the head to toe, shiny, florescent tracksuit – VIVE LE BUS. No. 55 you my boo.)
So we toddled back towards the station past this weird Rio, Favela exhibit.
It was something to with the Rio Olympics but I don't really know what.
On the way to the station I finally got to put my 'cake and a sit down' plan into action and we ducked into the very welcoming and cute looking Canvas & Cream. In fact there were a few places that looked very nice on the same road. Seeeeee, you never know what gem of a place you might find if you spend all your time laying on the sofa watching football, do you?
We took a seat at the back. Unfortunately it was in front of a bit of a draughty door but the hot drinks and big slices of cake we ordered made up for that…sort of.
You see in my head I was dreaming of a deliciously, sweet and moist orange cake much like the one we'd had in Sanur in Bali (Oh yeah forgot I promised I'd blog about that place. Soon my babies, soon.) so obviously I ordered the Orange Polenta cake when I spied on the counter. My boyfriend went for the Courgette, Lemon Drizzle and basically he won on the ordering front.
Because it turns out polenta is NOT very nice – it's a very grainy texture and doesn't make cakes taste all fluffy and delicious, it just tastes a bit weird. So luckily for me my boyfriend did the dutiful thing and shared his courgette, lemon drizzle with me. What a babe. (<<< how to have a keep your girlfriend happy 101: always share your damn food.)
For any of you thinking EWWW NO to courgette in a cake then sorry mate but you haven't LIVED! Seriously it sounds weird AF but is actually really, very, bloody good. The Hummingbird Bakery do a courgette and walnut cake and it if you've got a bit of baking fever at the mo (hasn't everyone thanks to the GBBO?) you need to give it a go. It's the actual one.
I was really pleasantly surprised at how nice Canvas & Cream was as part of me thought that everything in South East London would be pretty grim but the brunch menu and the Sunday dinner menu looked very tempting. Alas I'd promised to cook a roast when we got home as a way of thanking my boyfriend for coming with me to Forest Hill in the first place. I've learnt that relationships are 50% doing stuff together, 50% bribing each other to do that stuff.
We headed home, I cooked said roast and then lay on the sofa moaning about being way too full…before inhaling a tub of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream (there's always room for ice-cream) and I went to bed content that I'd ticked another thing off my London 'to-do' list and made the most of my Sunday.
Forest Hill was well worth the trek and it reinforced my opinion that I should explore ALL of London. I'm excited for the next place I go and if anyone wants to relieve my boyfriend of his duties to go with me when no-one else will, so he can watch the footy then that would be very, jolly nice of you.
Find the Horniman Musuem HERE. And Canvas & Cream HERE.
Thanks for reading!

#25 on the 2009 Musical Advent Calendar
Elvis Perkins in Dearland by Elvis Perkins in Dearland
Life has dealt Elvis Perkins some very difficult cards. His father is Anthony Perkins — Norman Bates from Psycho — who died at 60 of AIDS complications. His mother is Berry Berenson, the photographer, who was on American Airlines Flight 11 on 9/11. That's some pretty heavy shit to have to deal with. Amazingly, while these facts are more than enough for one person to have suffer through, they don't define Elvis and his band's music. Elvis Perkins in Dearland, the album, is technically a debut for the band of the same name. But before this album, Elvis did release a fantastic solo album, Ash Wednesday, that was started before his mother's death and consequently completed some many years afterwards. I recommend it.
But at the end of the day, the full band is where it's at. The video above, for the song "Chains, Chains, Chains," features a typical song for the album — a folky, string and horn laden thing of beauty. And Elvis's voice, floating above everything in some ethereal kind of way, is quite buttery. Yeah, that's right: ethereal butteriness. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but if you listen to the album you'll feel the same way, trust me.
While I haven't listened to this album a lot since it came out in March of this year, I do tend to come back to it on the greyer days. One has to have a large selection of grey-day albums when living in Seattle. Make sure you add it to your list, too.

Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare
The healthcare landscape in Chicagoland is very competitive with numerous options for residents. Edward-Elmhurst had to find a way to not only break through the clutter and announce its new brand to the community, it also had to improve patient intake and financial results to ensure the health of the new system. Learn More Here.
The Elysian Chicago
The Elysian Hotel was in need of marketing assistance to increase occupancy during the late summer and early fall months when travel in the city slows down. Competition can be fierce among high-end hotels such as The Four Seasons, The Drake, and The Ritz-Carlton for luxury-minded guests. Our mission was to drive qualified leads to the reservation desk.

Elmhurst College
Facing intense competition from an ever-increasing host of traditional universities, for-profit educational companies and distance learning programs, Elmhurst College was losing the battle for new students. Learn More Here.
CMK Companies
As an industry leader, CMK Companies ambitiously undertook development of the largest downtown Chicago condo project since the 1970s at 714 units. They also did this at a time when the real estate market was the worst it had been since the Great Depression. Learn More Here.
Edward Hospital & Health Services
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. An unbelievable 50% of men and 64% of women who die suddenly of heart disease have no previous symptoms. Because of this, early detection saves lives and Edward Hospital needed to get the word out immediately about its innovative 5-minute online test focused on heart health. Learn More Here.

This past year we were lucky to get some damn good games. With every good title, you will undoubtedly find some stinkers, but it's my job to find you the best of the best. So without further ado, The Gameslave presents the first annual "Gameslave Awards". Enjoy!

S/V Chili Pepper is a customized 10 meter Beneteau originally built for racing. While based out of St. Thomas, USVI, S/V Uncle Sam (prior name) was raced successfully and gained a solid reputation for winning in Caribbean regattas. In 2011, S/V Uncle Sam was converted into S/V Chili Pepper, the beautiful day sailing vessel she is today.
Custom work for racing included a Glenn Henderson designed racing keel that keeps her stable and points high upwind, and an expanded cockpit for accommodating additional crew. Combined with an open transom, these features make her a fantastic day sailing vessel. The large cockpit is ideal for seating passengers in comfort and the open transom is great for getting in touch with the beautiful tropical waters of the Caribbean.
This boat was built for going fast. The thrill of sailing is inevitable as she points high yet remains stable and moves through the water with ease. Quick and responsive, the crew is put in tune with the wind and ocean, the way sailing is meant to be.
As a daysailor the vessel can be single handed by the Captain. But the crew is invited to give a hand or take the helm. So sit back and relax, or join the fun and grind away on the winches at the Captain's command. Either way, sailing on Chili Pepper is a fun and exciting experience and a great way to get out on the waters of Puerto Rico.
In 2014, Chili Pepper was converted from tiller to wheel steering. A big 40 inch wheel is now used to steer the boat and gives it the modern look and feel of contemporary, top-of-the-line sportboats. And… with the addition of a retractable bowsprit and furling asymmetrical spinnaker, Chili Pepper is back in top form and will keep up with modern racers.
In 2017 hurricane Irma decided to remove the old rig and so it was replaced with a brand new, ultra light powder coated mast and boom from US Spars. All new standing and running rigging reduced weight aloft even further and Chili Pepper is more stable and points higher than ever!
All trips include drinks:
Beer, water, coca-cola, and sparkling wine for sunset sails. Special requests are taken.
Gear includes:
- Fresh water swim shower.
- Stereo system.
- IPod loaded with music (or bring your own).
- Marine toilet.
- Zodiac dinghy.
- Fishing Pole and Boatline.
- Cooler with ice for drinks.
- Furling Asymmetrical Spinnaker (on request).
- GoPro camera with remote for capturing action video and photos.

Last summer I was at a small grocery store on the Sunshine Coast shopping for wine when my phone rang and a random Ontario number popped up. I answered and discovered an aboriginal hip hop artist named Cody Coyote. He mentioned he would be in the Yukon in a few weeks and wanted to shoot a Hip Hop video with his collaborators, local Whitehorse group Vision Quest. I was hesitant at first but excited once I heard the song. I hadn't done a music video in a while and I've always loved doing them as it's a chance to flex your creative muscles and work with other creatives/artists to make something great.

'Sandy Feet' by Nikki Buick
Synopsis: 'Hunter is stuck in a car with his family as they travel up the Queensland coast. It is a trip that his mum thinks will bring the family closer together, especially now that his step-dad and little brother are part of the mix. But with tension and secrets sizzling beneath the happy family facade, the road trip soon becomes Hunter's worst nightmare. The further away from home he gets the more he can't shake thoughts of the accident that took his dad away from them. Can one trip really help bring a family together? Sandy Feet is a raw and engaging coming-of-age story that perfectly portrays the highs and lows of adolescence as well as the consequences of family tragedy.'
'Sandy Feet' is about a road trip that moves from Brisbane to the Daintree, describing many local tourist spots most of us know and love. When reading the scenes about the local areas the reader can depict exactly what the author is describing. We have all been to these places. This makes the book more appealing as it seems it was written for those of us who live in the area.
Hunter (the main character) is a pain. He is an angry young man, who lashes out at all around him, his sister, his mother and especially his stepfather. This is the road trip from hell. Hunter is making it so. As you read through the book, little by little, the past is revealed and the reader comes to understand why Hunter is behaving like a spoilt brat, an entitled brat.A theme that runs throughout the novel is that no one is perfect. Most teenagers discover this about themselves and their friends, but sometimes discovering this fact about your parents can be devastating. As Hunter learns.
This is a novel many would enjoy, not only because the local area provides a backdrop for the setting of the story, but for the discovery that everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes we all learn from.

We started hosting pop-up adventure playgrounds in 2010, and since then they've been held in Australia, Bogota, Cairo, New York… in more than 14 countries all around the world, by Pop-Ups staff and by independent organizers. The response to these events and photographs has inspired us beyond measure. We are proud to help connect organizers and play advocates with new friends - is that you, too?
|Pop-Up Adventure Playground in Lakeville, MA.
So, if it's true that play can be easy, accessible, familiar - why not pause first to register a pop-up adventure playground?
|Pop-Up Adventure Playground in Manchester, UK.
Here are 10 reasons why we believe that registering is your best place to start!
They're all rooted in the basic idea that a pop-up adventure playground isn't the same thing as play, but is a carefully designed form of provision. Pop-up adventure playgrounds help make play possible for children and adults, and as such organizers need specific kinds of support, training and information to be most effective. We are dedicated to offering these services to as many people as possible.
1. It's free
You can make your event an 'official' pop-up adventure playground for exactly $0.00. We provide this service completely free, because we believe that play is a fundamental right for everyone, and want to help people connect around play.
2. We're part of a heritage
We chose to name these events 'pop-up adventure playground' to emphasize the history and philosophy behind them. They draw explicitly on traditional adventure playgrounds and playwork theory - when you register, and use the phrase 'pop-up adventure playground', it shows that you want to be rooted in that tradition as well.
3. It's best practice
If you're interested in starting to make change locally for play, you'll need to build relationships with partners, share information and credit for ideas, and work together with a variety of individuals and institutions. Partnering with us to deliver pop-up adventure playgrounds is a great place to begin, and will help make your event the best it can be, because we also provide...
4. Your resource pack
You know the questions you have, about liability and materials and talking with parents? Those questions that visitors might have, about playwork philosophy and what, exactly, this event is all about? You're not the first! In fact, we've gathered a bunch of helpful materials to guide you through the process of gathering materials, preparing staff, reaching out to families and local businesses.
And if that's not enough, we also provide…
5. Personalized support
Pop-up adventure playgrounds can be more complicated than one might think. We've spent years hosting these events in schools, parks, museums, galleries and more all around the world, and would love to talk you through the specifics of your setting and neighborhood over Skype.
6. Connection to others
Many play advocates say they feel alone or isolated. We've found that pop-up adventure playgrounds can be a great way of building community, attracting like-minded people and building new connections. But starting out can be frightening, and organizers ask for a lot of trust from parks departments and other institutions. Local partners are often comforted to know that you have the support of an umbrella organization, and that there is extensive theory and planning behind these spontaneous, messy, glorious play events! We can help provide credibility and context.
7. Additional promotion
We'll link to your Facebook page, promote your events through our networks, and feature you on our blog. This is a great way to celebrate your successes, and broaden your reach!
8. It helps us to help you
We ask for a small amount of information when you register, always and only designed to help us track these events and to connect new organizers with one another. Wouldn't you like a new friend who's doing pop-up adventure playgrounds in Colombia, Costa Rica, or Australia?
9. Additional information
Pop-up adventure playgrounds are designed to bring new play opportunities to public space and give organizers a tiny taste of playwork. Playwork is a decades-old approach to working with children, with its own distinct philosophy and methods. Although you might have provided children with similar materials as part of your parenting or educational practice, playwork is entirely distinct and those subtle differences matter.
When you register, we help you ground your event in playwork practice - this will help you engage with children and parents more effectively, and further your own personal and professional development.
10. Did we mention it's free?
There are lots of different ways to support children's play, and you should find the one that suits you best. You can name your event anything you like, but if you're going to call it a 'pop-up adventure playground', please register with us first. It might be the easiest decision you make today!
|Pop-Up Adventure Playground in Costa Rica.
To register, fill in our simple online form which can be found here. To access Morgan's personal blog, click here, and to see where your Pop-Up will be promoted, come and visit our Facebook page!

This tutorial will introduce the audience to the fields of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) using a hands-on approach. Analysing and truly understanding natural language is a difficult task, but Python doesn't fall short in terms of making this topic approachable, thanks to its rich ecosystem and active community.
Firstly we'll provide an overview on NLP using NLTK, the Natural Language Toolkit, one of the most popular Python library for NLP. We'll discuss some of the most important text processing steps and how they impact the quality of our final application.
We'll then move on to some notions of word frequency analysis, like TF and IDF. All these concepts are going to be applied in the context of a text classification system. Using scikit-learn, we'll understand how to build a classifier, and how to use it to categorise documents according to pre-defined labels. We'll briefly discuss how to assess the quality of our model, and how we can tune it to achieve better predictions.
There are no particular requirements to attend this tutorial, so Python beginners are welcome. Some prior basic notions of machine learning can be beneficial, but the theoretical aspects are kept to the bare minimum: the aim of this tutorial is to be practical and approachable. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptop with Python 3, NLTK and scikit-learn pre-installed (instructions for pip/virtualenv will be provided, but please feel free to set up the environment in advance).

Y'all know I love anything I can put in the crock pot. I also love any kind of hearty soup, Hubs loves anything with meat and cheese, and it was a cool day so why not try this recipe.
I found this recipe through Pinterest, on the Living Life of Riley Blog and I must say that I was uber-impressed with Nikki's on-the-fly creation skills in this recipe. I wish I could just pull randomness out of my freezer and create something this delicious!
Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup (adapted from Living Life of Riley)
- 1 lb of ground beef
- 1 container of Philadelphia Cooking Crème – Garlic Flavor
- 1 bag Ore Ida Hashbrowns
- 1 Velveeta cheese 8 oz stick
- 1 chicken broth stock (32 oz)
- 1 small onion, diced
Brown the ground beef with the diced onion. Place the hashbrowns in the crockpot, then the ground beef, then the chicken stock and cooking crème, and finally dice up the Velveeta stick and mix it all together. Cook on high for 4 – 5 hours, stirring occasionally. I served it with French's Fried Onions on top – delicious!

A month or so ago I was talking with my mother-in-law about marriage vows, and particularly about the more difficult ones- the sickness part, the poor part. The parts that really and truly make up a marriage. Can you imagine if marriage was always kisses and flowers and loving glances? The world might be a different place. But that isn't what marriage is. Marriage is the hard times. It is what determines if your marriage will survive or fail.
The conversation has really stuck with me because B and I seem to be in a constant state of flux in our marriage ever since we've become parents. If you're a parent, you know what happens- you go into survival mode in that first year or two. You're just trying to keep moving, trying to keep your eyes open, trying to keep this teeny tiny person alive. And you can't let your work suffer because you can't lose your job. And you can't drop the ball with your child, because that could mean his life. So what takes a hit? Your marriage. You start to take each other for granted, you start to just become ships passing in the night. Your conversations are only about the baby. And that's where the hard part of the marriage vows come in.
You have to trust that those vows, the ones that you took so eagerly on your wedding day, will actually hold up now that you're in the throes of the bad times. You're dealing with the sickness part- sickness of your baby, sickness that you catch from your baby. You're dealing with the poor part, because honestly, who can actually afford children? You're dealing with the parts of the vows that people mostly skip over because all they're thinking about as they're standing in front of all of those people is the sunshine and rainbows part- and whether or not he's going to smash the cake in your face.
But marriage is made up of struggles. And you BOTH have to want to fight through those struggles to get to the happier times, to get back to a place where you're doing the kisses and the flowers and loving glances. I've made it my resolve in the last few days to make sure to kiss my husband every day. It sounds like such a simple thing for a marriage but I realized that it wasn't happening every day. So that's my first step (that, plus date nights). And I will keep pushing through when the days get dark, because this marriage of mine is so worth it.

A British man who is believed to be the world's most prolific sperm donor fathering more than 800 children finds his clients through Facebook.
Simon Watson, 41, advertises his sperm donation services through Facebook and offers women, what he describes as, his "magic potion", for £50.
He believes to date he has fathered at least 800 children over the last 16 years but admits the figure could be in excess of 1,000.
"In 2014 I helped people from around 12 countries, I have kids from Spain to Taiwan so they are well spread out," he said.
"I have 50 odd a year and I've been doing this for over 16 years. I am going for the world record."
Mr Watson, from Wembley, London, meets women in carparks and hotels, from the UK and across the world, every week and hands over his sperm.
Last October he wrote on his Facebook page: "Another first time try just told me it worked so that was three first time tries in 3 days... I must be slacking as last year I got 3 pregnant in 8 hours."
His Facebook page is full of success stories and pictures of his biological children.
The women using him save thousands by bypassing expensive and lengthy IVF and fertility treatments.
• Eating potatoes before pregnancy increases risk of diabetes, women warned
• Lighting the way ahead in medicine
"If you go to a fertility clinic people have to go through lots of hurdles - counselling sessions, huge amounts of tests and then charge absolute fortunes for the service - but realistically if you've got a private donor you can just go and see them, meet them somewhere, get what you want and just go," he told the BBC.
But experts warn women using unlicenced methods put themselves at risk as clinics conduct counselling, rigorous testing for hereditary diseases and sexually transmitted diseases.
Laura Witjens, chief executive of the National Gamete Donation Trust, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme: "If you can't afford £1,500 to secure safety for yourself and your child, you should wonder if you're fit for parenthood. It's an expensive job.
"What I find surprising is women investigate holiday destinations more than this."
One woman, who has used Mr Watson's services, explained that it was a bargain to be given a chance of parenthood.
She wrote on his Facebook page: "I think its very difficult for gay couples - we either have to have thousands of pounds to do it privately, or take years and years waiting for the NHS proving your ability to be a parent, begging for help, £50 for even a chance of parenthood is a bargain, I think its fabulous and couldn't thank you more, and plan to use your services again."
The children of sperm donors born after 2005 have the right to know the identity of their father when they turn 18.
The donors are not the legal parent and are not named on the birth certificate.
Unlicenced donors, like Mr Watson, run the risk of being asked for child support and could claim paternity.
The regulator, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), limits the number of families created by a single donor father to 10.
Despite fathering more than 800 children, Mr Watson, who has been married twice and has three children through his marriages, is still looking for love himself.
A dating profile claiming to be him reveals despite presently having a girlfriend he is using dating sites to "find a replacement" as she is due to leave the country.
He describes himself as a "sperm donor", adding "I hope that doesn't put you off".
"At the moment I have a girlfreind who is really nice....the best one I have ever had really but she is going to leave the country in a few months or so, so I am just on here to get the replacement ready," he writes.
"If we get on really well maybe you want to try one of my massages with one of my magic massage oil mixes......one try of that and you will love me forever I am sure!!!!
"If our date lasts about 3 days then we know we are right for each other."
He describes his profession as "a sperm donor" and admits it is hard to find a woman who is content with his job.
The previous record for fathering the highest number of children through sperm donation is believed to be held by Bertold Wiesner who fathered in excess of 600 youngsters.
His wife, obstetrician Mary Barton, used his sperm to artificial inseminate women at a private clinic on Harley Street in the 1940s.

I recently realized how much time has passed since
my last blog post. It has been over two months since the
last posting! I should be ashamed of myself.
blogs and find out what's been going on. Bruce, Daisy and I have
been pretty busy lately. We have had some setbacks over
the past couple of months, which may explain why I
haven't blogged in a while.
Two months ago, I dislocated my knee, and then I came down
with the flu. After the flu, I came down with another flu.
Then I got bronchitis. Shortly after that, our apartment
flooded. I didn't forget about the blog, but you know
how it is sometimes.
Things are starting to return back to normal for us.
We can finally focus on getting back to the sexier things in life!

Reinforcement encourages behavior while punishment discourages it. Both develop learning through what is called operant conditioning, in which behaviors increase or decrease based on the type of result obtained.
Edward Thorndike was a psychologist who first studied operant conditioning, which describes the learning that is based on the consequences of the learner. His work influenced that of B.F. Skinner, a behavioral psychologist who developed the terms reinforcement and punishment in terms of operant conditioning. Skinner's work showed that punishments tend to decrease the likelihood of specific behaviors while reinforcements tend to increase the likelihood of specific behaviors.
Both terms can be described in positive and negative terms. Positive reinforcement offers something desirable to increase positive behaviors, while negative reinforcement removes something undesirable to increase positive behaviors. Positive punishment offers something undesirable to reduce negative behaviors, while negative punishment removes something desirable to reduce negative behaviors.

Chicken recipes in Africa, like everywhere else, are a dime a dozen. Chicken is
,grilled,fried,seasoned with pepper, put in a salad, served by itself or in a gravy...
Which ever way you like it, African Recipes Secrets has something for you.
Country Chickens
These local chickens are both hatched and raised in Liberia. They are really TOUGH. You have to either boil them forever or
pressure cook them. I am not sure if meat tenderizer works. Probably not! They are that tough.
Actually, they are pretty good for soup chicken recipes and traditional dishes.
that you have to boil a lot. It will likely not break up in your food.
The hen sold in grocery stores in the US is similar to the African country chicken. You can boil it forever and it will remain intact.
Imported Chickens
These chickens are brought into the country as chicks from Europe and raised on local farms. If you want to be able to bake, roast, fry, or grill your chicken, you have to buy the tender variety.
But not everyone can afford imported chicken. Importing the chicks carries the price up. Most people do not earn enough the price of a chicken in an entire day.
In Liberia...
When I last visited Liberia in 1989, the price of one chicken was $5.00. That's how things work in Liberia. There is one price for chicken and one price for a bag of rice and so on.
As a child living in Liberia many, many years ago, we used to raise chickens in the back yard. So when it was time to cook, the chicken had to be chased, caught, and killed.
Back then, this was common practice in the US and Europe as well. The picture of a chicken being chased in preparation for dinner gives new meaning to the expressionrunning around like a chicken without a head.

With the HTC One and One Mini already available in a slew of different colors, HTC is bringing a little more variety to the latest member of the HTC One family, the One Max. The black HTC One Max has made its debut in Hong Kong, and the manufacturer's Hong Kong site shows the Max in its new murdered-out exterior. The metal front and back, as well as the plastic sides, are now jet black, giving the enormous handset a slightly more businesslike appearance. It also makes the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner — admittedly not our favorite One Max feature — a little less visually jarring.
There's no indication as to when (or even if) HTC might launch the black One Max outside of Hong Kong. But given HTC's track record of slowly rolling out additional color options we wouldn't be surprised to see this model arrive internationally at some point. Elsewhere, a red HTC One Max was recently spotted in an ad for Taiwanese carrier FarEasTone, so it's possible the device may get a splash of color in the near future.

When: Sundays 3:30 pm
Where: Mozartstr. 12 – U3/U6 Goetheplatz (show map)
Our musical worship uses a blend of contemporary songs and traditional hymns led by piano and other instruments with singers. As we have an international community, we have a wonderful variety of worship traditions which we blend in our service to the glory of God. The Lord's Supper is observed once a month on the first Sunday of each month.
The sermon is usually of an expository nature. As we study a book of the Bible together, our pastor unfolds, explains and applies the meaning from the biblical passage. This enables members to gain an in depth understanding of the Scripture being studied and a grasp of its relevance to everyday living in the world.
The service is followed by a time of fellowship over coffee and cakes in the foyer of the church building. Often, a group goes for dinner in town after the service.

It worked! YAY!
As of this morning, I was down 3.5 pounds. I know a lot of this is water weight, but it puts me at a new low of 233.
Word to the wise, though, and I wish I would have known this: If you take a diuretic (which I did for monthly puffiness and the fact that I drank a number of beers over the weekend which, unfortunately, were still with me), the stuff has caffeine! Omg, I didn't sleep a WINK last night. I took a dose before going to bed and I was laying there in bed all night long feeling wide awake. I finally turned the TV on in the bedroom after DH left and watched the news, then picked up my book and started reading. About 8:30am I began feeling tired and slept until 11:45. Real productive day. *eye roll*
Anyway, I'm continuing the liquids for most of today, but I will have the spaghetti I'm making for dinner tonight. YUM!

A Mysterious Force Is Causing A Rise In Ozone-Destroying Emissions
Credit: Wochit
Published on May 18, 2018 - Duration: 00:38s
A Mysterious Force Is Causing A Rise In Ozone-Destroying Emissions
CFC-11 is an ozone-depleting chemical that's been under an international ban since 2010.
But there's been a surprising increase of the chemical in the ozone by 25 percent since 2012.
Almost no CFC-11 has been been produced since 2006, or so it was thought.
Researchers suspect the spike in the chemical is coming from somewhere in eastern Asia.
The ultimate impact on the ozone depends on how quickly the culprit is found and stopped.

Legs Go Numb When Cycling
When you're cycling, numbness can begin in your buttocks and work its way down your thighs. The tingle can also start between your toes and work its way up your legs. Numbness in your lower extremities can frequently be attributed to a poor bike fit or badly fitting shoes. To improve blood flow and relieve stress on your glutes, the muscles in your buttocks, stand on your pedals and stretch your legs every 10 to 15 minutes of your cycling workout.
Does Your Bike Fit?
Based at Oregon's Mid-Columbia Medical Center, physical therapist Anna Saltonstall treats many cyclists for problems with their hamstrings. Poor bike fit is one of main reasons for cycling injuries, which are preventable, says Saltonstall in the December 2008 issue of "Bicycling." If you're feeling numbness in your legs when cycling, your saddle may be exerting too much pressure on your sciatic nerve, which runs downward from the back of your pelvis through your hamstrings and calves and ends at your feet. A saddle that doesn't fit your body puts too much weight on this nerve as well as on your blood vessels.
Comfort in the Saddle
Even if your bike is the correct size, your saddle position and shape may cause various problems, including numbness. A saddle that is too high shifts your weight off the pedals, requiring you to overextend your hamstrings with each pedal stroke. If your saddle is positioned too far back, you'll depend too much on your glutes and hamstrings for forward power. A saddle with excessive cushion can cause your sit bones to sink into the middle of the saddle, increasing pressure on your nerves and blood vessels. A narrow saddle can cause your sit bones to hang off the sides, putting stress on the tendons that connect your hamstrings to your pelvis. Bike manufacturers may be able to provide a piece of memory foam in which you can leave an imprint of your buttocks. This tool can help you determine the optimal saddle width and shape for your body.
An Eye on Your Feet
Cycling shoes that fit improperly or provide inadequate support can cause numbness that begins in your feet and threads up your legs. Shoes that are too small or tight will squeeze the nerves in the arch at the ball of your foot. Impingement of the tiny nerve branches between your little toes can also result in swelling, tingling and numbness. Long-distance cyclists in particular can experience compression of the nerves under their feet. Allowing your feet some room to breathe by selecting wider shoes or loosening your shoelaces or straps may resolve numbness that starts in your feet.
Compartment Syndrome
Numbness in your legs may be a symptom of chronic compartment syndrome, which occurs in seasoned cyclists who perform a repetitive motion over a long period of time. Different muscle groups are surrounded and contained by fascia, or layers of connective tissue, into what are known as compartments. Bleeding or swelling that takes place within a compartment can increase the pressure inside the compartment to the point where it hinders proper blood flow. Because nutrients and oxygen can't reach your muscles, this condition can damage your tissues.
Numbness or paralysis is indicative of permanent damage, according to Britain's National Health Service. For cyclists, the risk of compartment syndrome is greatest in the buttocks, and the condition has the potential to damage the sciatic nerve. If you're experiencing numbness accompanied by leg cramps during cycling workouts, see your doctor.

A film by Matías Meyer
(Mexico/Canada/Dominican Republic/Switzerland, 2015, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
U.S. Premiere. Filmmaker in Attendance!
The third feature film by acclaimed Mexican director Matías Meyer (The Last Christeros, The Cramp) is an adaptation of a short story of the same name by Nobel laureate author J. M. G. Le Clézio. The film follows Yo, a teenager in the body of an adult with an apparent mental incapacity. He lives and works at his mother's roadside café by a busy highway. One day he meets Elena, an eleven-year-old girl, who will change his life forever. Winner of the Best Film award at the Morelia Film Festival and a Special Mention at the Fribourg Film Festival, Yo is an intriguing mediation on the epic human journey of emotional maturation.

Hey guys this is the last commission of the four part series which includes HG Phenex, MG Qan[t] and MG Tallgeese II. I won't lie, I'm happy to see this commission series come to a close; not because I didn't like kits, but because now I can get back to my backlog of kits!
If you're unfamiliar with the Final Battle Version of the Banshee here's a bit of the suit's backstory to get you caught up. In the novelization of Gundam Unicorn there is no Banshee with an armed armor DE or VN, it's simply another Unicorn chassis with a recolor, new horn and no La Plus program.
With the last episode of the gundam Unicorn saga approaching I have to wonder if we're going to see the Banshee Norn with a green frame...
This is the 3rd MG Banshee I have built and the 3rd Banshee I have used the ver ka decal scheme on. The most difficult aspect of this kit was to get the GR (General Revil) decal aligned properly on the left shoulder.
The paint break down is as follows:
Main body: Banshee blue (blue, purple and black)
Frame: Neutral grey
Feet & beam ammo: Black
Eyes: Clear red over star bright silver
Horn, & details: Star bright brass
Weapon sights: Clear green over star bright silver
I added a few small details to the kit.
The thrusters are two color with a silver interior and grey exterior.
The gold details on the legs were masked and painted on top of the grey frame.
The seam lines on the rifle and bazooka were fused.
The weapon sights were all painted with silver and clear green.
The pegs on the psychoframe sections of the shield were painted to diminish their appearance.
The bazooka ammo received hand brushed silver accents to add detail.

U.S. Corn Belt Expands to North
Warmer Climate, Hardier Seeds Help Crop Gain on Wheat, North Dakota's Staple
RUGBY, N.D.—Wheat has long dominated the windswept farm fields of the northern Great Plains. But increasingly, farmers here are switching to corn, reflecting how climate change, advancements in biotechnology and high corn prices are pushing the nation's Corn Belt northward.
Last year, corn narrowly eclipsed wheat as North Dakota's most valuable crop as farmers produced a record corn harvest. This year, as farmers across the Corn Belt are finishing up the planting season after an unusually wet spring, the U.S. Department of...

We work to enable conversations between people who are not necessarily speaking, foster collaboration and empower resilience in communities so that they are able to have a say in the design and future of their local area. Our team can help mobilise, facilitate and connect existing assets for critical projects. In most instances, these assets already exist in communities by way of neighbours with ideas, community groups, organisations, government and resources to make ideas happen.
Moreover, we focus on participatory design, offer boutique engagement solutions and specialise in tailored-public events, temporary site activations, action research and community engagement
Our team is passionate about finding effective ways for local community groups, socially minded organisations and government to connect and ideate.
Activating change in your local area can sometimes be difficult, especially when dealing with the bureaucratic processes to make those wonderful ideas actually happen.
That's why we've built a unique platform to allow the voices of residents, visitors and local businesses in your community to re-imagine and activate the public realm.
We love working with people and organisations that have a passion and vision for their community yet still need support to make those things happen.

Okanagan Winery Wedding
While winery weddings in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley come in various sizes and styles, they all tend to have one thing in common - unbeatable views of the vineyard and orchard dotted surroundings, often with a gem of a lake sparkling in the distance. Robyn + Travis' lush winery wedding photographed by Adrian Photographers at Kelowna's Tantalus Vineyards is no exception and features portraits and the wedding ceremony on the winery's grounds as well as a breezy, bright wine cellar reception. For more Okanagan winery inspiration on Vale + Vine, check out this Summerhill winery wedding by Adrian Michael along with this breezy winery wedding by local film photographer Jenna Hill.

Going... Going... Gone Vegan!
Back in February I watched some alarming videos about the food industry and how genetic engineering, portion sizes, and food processing have changed over the last few decades. This post is a follow-up to describe why we've taken the plunge and been fat-free non-processed vegan since March.
Let me state for the record that I grew up next to a dairy farm, and if I had to draw you a map of my favorite meaty dishes from all over Europe and the Americas, it would look like this: It is true, as a German, I have had my fair share of Schnitzel and Currywurst. And you can bet your sweet tooth that my weekend breakfasts in Scotland involved rashers, not to mention the odd bacon-butty with HP's brown sauce on the go if I was late for class. I don't remember eating much meat in London, but that's because I was poor and London was expensive. Not sure if there's an "economic vegetarian" to the list, but I digress.
Barcelona was a lot more about the sea food, like gambas al ajillo, dorada a la sal, or any variation including melt-in-your-mouth chicken thighs on paella - all of them doused in litres of olive oil. In the Canary Islands we had a barbecue at least once a month, and my mother-in-law is the Queen of Bistec - the thinly pounded, well oiled and begarlicked version of Schnitzel. The tacos in Mexico had perfectly seasoned carne asada machacada on them, and let's not even talk about the menudo.
Where was I?
Ah yes, trying to make a point that I do believe humans have teeth that can gnaw meat off a bone for a reason. I grew up as I'm sure many of you did having to drink the milk and eat the meat. In fact, when I told my parents I no longer do that, they started fearing for my health. Right after seriously questioning my sanity.
Plenty of meat-eaters live long, healthy, productive lives and never have any problems. Going vegan is a lifestyle choice (unless you have lactose intolerance or other allergies, of course) and just because there's plenty of evidence linking meat and dairy to serious health issues right now, doesn't mean science won't find something wrong with veganism eventually. After reading up on some of the most prevalent objections, however, I've decided it can't hurt.
In very simplified terms, we now get our protein needs filled from broccoli, brown rice, and other plant-based sources. Most vitamins are covered with fruit, vegetables, and salad: except B12, which you can get from fortified nutritional yeast. Those flakes taste great on pizza (instead of cheese) or over popcorn. To help the body absorb certain nutrients, we get our fats from olives, avocados, nuts, and seeds. As for variety, yeah, we repeat our favorite meals, but then again - that's what we did when they still contained meat as well.
Six weeks into the new diet, we had our blood chemistry checked by our physician: there were no deficiencies, and all areas like blood sugar, cholesterol, and insulin were at optimum healthy levels.
I've been baking (something I didn't do before) and substituting butter with apple sauce. My favorite snack these days is a thick warm out of the oven slice of home-made bread with mile-high home-made hummus and a bunch of grapes.
Jack Canfield said, "99 % is a bitch, 100 % is a breeze" meaning it's easier to stick to something completely without making exceptions. The all-or-nothing approach worked best for me when I gave up cigarettes, and this time, too. Once we decided to go vegan, we finished the food we had in the house and then didn't buy any more chips, oil, or other processed, fat, meat or dairy-containing stuff. Having a cheesy pizza or tiramisu is simply no longer an option. We needed to re-read many labels to check for sneaky chemicals and dairy, but that's easily done.
The first few days I went through Coke Zero withdrawal headaches, but here's what makes it easier to stick to eating healthy: After about a week, you'll notice your digestion improving. I got compliments on my skin looking better after about a month. In other numbers, my husband lost 45 lbs in 3 months. I gained 4. This is where there may be a half a percent non-breezy: we found certified vegan dark chocolate and organic Sauvignon Blanc. What's a girl to do?
Yes, it is expensive to go to Whole Foods and buy organic, but since we no longer eat out and take our lunches to work, food expenses are the same as before. Food preparation takes a little more planning, but having one big cooking session with batches of grains or legumes done in a pressure cooker to then store them in the fridge or freezer until needed is easy-peasy. For recipe ideas, we use the Forks over Knives cookbook and www.fatfreevegan.com.
If you're considering going vegan but wondering if you could EVER live without ___ (fill in the blank), I say give it a try. Don't over-think it, just make the decision and see what happens. We walk past the stuff we used to by in the shops without a problem, not missing or craving anything.
Let's see how easy it will be to keep this up at the end of the year when we visit our families in Europe. I guess I'll be having more of the potatoes and sauerkraut in Germany, and a potaje de berros and grilled veggies in Spain. What do you think?

School Days - My school
One day I saw my physics teacher using felt pens (we call them sketch pens here in India) to draw a beautiful scenario. I loved the style and tried it out to draw my school's view from front. Couldn't do as good as him at that time, but improved with time. Here is the first one - my school - drawn using felt pens.

Frieze week and things ahoy
I'm very happy to be included in the next issue of Kaleidoscope magazine with a profile I wrote on Boychild. I've also written a list of highlights of Frieze week and London for their site that should hopefully be up soon (it ended up here on their facebook)
I did a run down of Frieze Week performance events for Artsy, profiled top 4 tech-influenced artist for Postmatter and did a top ten of the best things at the fair this week for Dazed Digital.
I'll also be doing instagram takeovers for Dazed Magazine, Spring Studios and at Roughversion - in case you fancy an immediate, varied tsunami of my week.
And here are 4 pop up things things outside of Frieze London and Frieze Masters that are worth checking out - because the world loves a list.
1) ICA Off-Site: The Old Selfridges Hotel
Anything you can - the programming is spot on.
2) Sunday Art Fair
A defunct website, barely a word to the press and still a fair that should not be missed!
It's my guilty pleasure. Come for a relaxed gawp at 20th century masters and euro-cash spenders
5) 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair
Last year's debut was surprisingly good. A fair not to be forgotten

Nearly all of the drywall in your home is attached to framing studs. If your house was competently framed, these walls remain flat and smooth and resist cracking. Above your windows, the drywall may be attached to a header, a sandwich of plywood between two 2 x 10s that provides stability above window openings. The problem is that headers expand and contract due to heat and moisture much more than framing studs. The result is that cracks form in the drywall above the corners of windows.
Ideally the shape of your windows have been cut out of the drywall, as opposed to having the edge of a piece of drywall butting against the edge of the window, and a separate piece installed over the top of the window. If the cracks above your windows radiate out from the corners, then you probably have a single piece of drywall covering the top and side of the window's upper corner. In this case the repair is a little simpler. Cracks running vertically from the corner of the window extending nearly to the ceiling indicate separate pieces of drywall and require a bit more work to fix.
The basic steps for repairing both types of cracks are the same--in both cases you begin by using a utility knife to cut the crack into a V-shaped notch. The difference is, if you have a vertical crack between separate pieces of drywall, you want to make this notch wider, about 1/3 of an inch wide. Cut all the way to the wall plate or about an inch-and-a-half below the ceiling, even if the crack doesn't extend this far. This provides greater flexibility between the two pieces of drywall, which prevents future cracks as the piece of drywall over the door gets pushed and pulled by the header.
Remove any loose drywall material and apply joint compound with a putty knife to a depth of 1/8 inch over the crack. Press drywall tape into the compound (pre-moisten the tape if using paper tape), then drag your putty knife lightly over the compound. If the tape becomes exposed, you dragged too hard. Pull it out, reapply joint compound, and try again.
When the joint compound is dry, sand lightly, and add a second coat of compound using a wider putty knife (at least 6 inches). Your goal is to feather it out from the repair so that the tape stays covered but the wall appears smooth and flat. Again let the joint compound dry, sand, then use an even wider putty knife to apply a third coat.

If we were having coffee I would tell you that I am feeling very tired, have been for a while now. I hope you'll forgive me if I am a little quieter than usual. I promise I am excited to see you, I'm just in desperate need of a good nights sleep.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that while the days are growing shorter and the local school districts are back in session this week summer does not feel like it is coming to an end. It's over 90 degrees every afternoon and well into every evening. I love summer but the heat is starting to drive me a little batty.
I notice I am short tempered and exhausted much of the time and I have begun to question why I ever thought summer was the best season.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that this week was a pretty, well, boring. I worked a lot. We were running around with our heads cut off busy preparing for the start of the school year coming up this week. We had training to do, new buses to check, and equipment needed handing out. Our district is making some big, big changes and this has probably been the hardest, most chaotic, beginning to a school year.
I'm doing my best to just keep my head down and just get through it.
If we were having coffee I would motion for you to lean in close. I would whisper to you that something very big and very important did happen this week but I can't tell you about it yet. It's not that I don't trust you it's just that until there has been a formal announcement I can't tell anyone. Next week I will though I promise!
If we were having I would tell you that the most exciting day this week was probably yesterday. We took My girlfriends little brother out to lunch and an afternoon of shopping. We are trying to spend more time with him now that he's becoming a teenager and is dealing with all the difficulty surrounding that. He often seems sad and frustrated and I think some regular time out with us to just relax and not worry about anything will be good for him.
Plus he's just fun to be around, for a fourteen year old anyway :)
After that we went to a free showing of Night of the Living Dead, the 1968 version. Our new favorite movie theater, the Alamo Drafthouse, was playing it. We got there a couple hours early to make sure we got tickets so we killed some time by doing some more shopping and grabbing some dinner and some Starbucks for a pick me up. Then we just walked and talked and it was like we were teenagers again, dream out loud together about our perfect future.
Then it was zombie time! I hadn't seen the movie, let alone this version and it was amazing! Might write a quick review of it for you later this week.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that after not having seen my family in a few weekends we are finally back to doing family day. Our schedules conflict so much and somebody is always sick or dealing with some kind of emergency and we end up going weeks without seeing each other. We do text a lot though and we interact on Facebook but it's not the same. I miss seeing their faces.
I had better get going so I can get ready to head out and see them. I appreciate you stopping by to catch up and I hope your week was a good one. I'd like to hear about it either way in the comments :)

7 Reasons why InFocus EPIC 1 is the only phone you should buy this season.
US-based smartphone company InFocus has bring its new flagship smartphone InFocus Epic 1, one of the first smartphones in India to use MediaTek's Deca-core Helio X20 SoC with Tri-Cluster CPU architecture. The Epic 1 promises extreme computing performance with 30 per cent improved power consumption in comparison to a dual cluster design. Epic 1 launches October 25 and will be priced Rs 12,999.
(Must Read- InFocus Epic 1 Launched – Available on Amazon India )
Here are 7 reasons why InFocus EPIC 1 is the only camera phone you need:
1. FRONT CAMERA: The f/1.8 aperture in its 8 MP wide-angle front camera is a feature only seen in the latest iPhone and Samsung Galaxy 7 and results in superb low light performance when shooting selfies. This wide f/1.8 aperture allows 80 per cent more light, and more light, coupled with an Adaptive De-noise engine for better-looking images in low-light environments and sharper images.
The 8MP Selfie camera offers great shots even from the front and your selfies become great to share and flaunt.
3. TEN CORE PROCESSOR: The Tri-Cluster CPU architecture is designed to handle different types of workloads more efficiently. It divides the 10 cores into three clusters providing a more efficient allocation of tasks for optimum performance and extended battery life. It can delegate simple tasks to one cluster of cores, while directing more-complex (and more-power-hungry) tasks to other clusters. Simply put, if the smartphone is doing only simple tasks – such as sending text messages or running the calculator – on one cluster, the other clusters can power down, and therefore drive smoother performance and extended battery life.
4. LTPS DISPLAY: The Epic 1 comes with a 5.5" Full HD LTPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The LTPS display of Epic 1 uses content upscaling algorithms to produce the best picture quality even when viewing low resolution content. It also contributes to superior image colour quality by reducing the amount of Blue Light Energy emanating from the screen.
[Tweet "7 Reasons why InFocus EPIC 1 is the only phone you should buy this season."]
5. GAMERS' DELIGHT: The super-fast touch panel with 120Hz frequency gives the gamers a sense of ultimate control and smooth feel . The combination of MT6797M Deca-core (Dual-A72 2.0GHz Quad-A53 1.9GHz Quad-A53 1.4GHz) processor with 3GB RAM along with the Mali T880 MP4 GPU makes this ideal to meet high-end graphic needs and smooth gaming experiences.
6. FAST FINGERPRINT: EPIC 1 has 360-degree recognition based fingerprint scanner. Embedded in the slim body.
7. STYLISH: The EPIC 1 has a stylish full metal body which has been accentuated by a luxurious brushed-metal finish and curved back with refined edges for the most comfortable grip. The phone weighs 160 grams and is great to hold despite the 5.5-inch screen.

I often get asked where I had some of the best meals. Even though restaurants and food events have captured a special part of my stomach and memory this past year, there's one meal that was the most memorable.
This special meal was hosted by my good friend Ken, who is equal parts food artist and scientist.
He visualized a dinner party that celebrated the harvest and beginning of the holiday season.
The dinner was hosted between Canadian and American thanksgiving and he called it "North American Thanksgiving".
Ken has a background in space engineering and has the same scientific approach to his cooking but he's creative and artistic in presentation. The meal highlights local ingredients in a modern way and has a few surprises along the way.
The dinner was complete with dry ice, fire and countless courses, which were all super photogenic and delicious.
Some sparkling drinks to kick off the evening.
Salmon gravlax with Labrador tea cedar jelly spruce tips to open up our palettes and excite our tastebuds.
Forest nest, beautifully named and executed with quail eggs and an oak-smoked salt truffle aioli.
Prosecco and our dinner plates at the start of the first few courses.
Steak tartar with toasted baguettes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic.
Vika and her caricature drawing by yours truly.
I tend to bombard dinner party guests as they pick up their cups for the night and ask if I can draw their face on their cups. I also tend to not take no for an answer.
Daniel and his caricature cup.
Audrey, or should I say, "Odd Tree" and her caricature cup.
Canadian goose, a tongue in cheek name for Ken's foie gras mousse tart with balsam fir jelly and dusted with matcha powder.
Chew yet tender, the Mentaiko (the salted roe, fish eggs of Alaskan pollock) on udon with shrimp.
Fruits of the earth, consisted of squash cooked in hazelnut oil with edible flowers, gräddsås (Swedish cream sauce) and balsamic pearls.
Daniel and Vika and rest of dinner party guests in the background.
In between the appetizer courses and mains, Ken brings out his showmanship and a pine tree reef lined plate, topped with dry ice. He then poured a mixture of essential oils infused with herbs and pine to let the aroma float through the whole room, giving us a sense of dining in a forest.
Daniel, Vika and Ken, catching a moment to chat before the mains hit the table.
Turkey stew - turkey breast, leg confit & cranberry consomme brussel sprouts.
The star of the night, Ken, showcasing the plate of Alsatian affair called choucroute garnie (A French way of preparing sausage and sauerkraut that is special to the region of Alsace). Ken's creation consisted of bison, sage, red wine sausage, grass-fed red deer, black trumpet, charred leek , veal frankfurters, roast beef, wiener schnitzel, smoked duck, potato, cognac-braised cipollini onions, potatoes, as well as, sauerkraut cooked with goose fat and sake with dry riesling.
Kiat, ready for a game of Dirty Minds.
Ken displaying the Milanese panettone, before it was plated.
Pumpkin and mandarins - Milanese panettone pumpkin custard pretzel branches Belgian Speculoos and sugared maple leaves with a side of cow milk cheese sorbet.
Audrey and Boyan showcase some of the macaroons from Nadege.
Baklava shared by Vika.
We ended the night with a traditional flambeed British Christmas Pudding, bring the night to a firey note.
From left to right, Audrey, Kiat, myself and Vika, just being super normal at the end of a night of the most memorable meal.
Many thanks to Ken for visualizing, organizing and executing such an elaborate dinner party.
Thanks for sharing your passion of cooking by hosting us.
We're very lucky to have you in our lives.

iPort to offer in-wall docking for the iPad, iPod Touch
09/07/10 14:17 Filed in: New Products
The Control Mount Series by iPort lets your iTouch or ipad become in-wall touchscreen. It can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
by Arlen Schweiger of Electronic House
As Apple's iPad continues to emerge as a potentially major device in the control and media server sectors, we're starting to hear about new ways to incorporate it into your home as more than just a portable device.
Toward that end, iPort, which was a pioneer when it came to in-wall docking systems for the iPod, will start shipping similar products for the iPod touch and iPad this month.
The company has introduced its Control Mount Series for both products, which covers the devices in a wall-mounted chassis with a magnetically attached, rectangular fascia to turn them into in-wall touchscreens. The products are the CM-IW100T (CM100) Control Mount for the iPod touch and the CM-IW2000 (CM2000) for the iPad.
The CM100 lets you use the iPod touch as a touchscreen controller and music streamer of both stored tunes and audio from the device's apps. Of course, as a touchscreen similar to that of automation companies, depending on your apps you can use the iPod touch or iPad for audio, video, lighting and climate controls.
You can have the Control Mounts be installed vertically or horizontally, naturally, as the Apple devices work either way—you may want to see what is easier and makes more sense for navigating your most-used apps before installation.
