Three magic words for better health with cardiologist and author Dr. Mimi Guarneri #10
This Zestology podcast is possibly my favourite so far. If I had to pick a personal doctor to look after me, it'd be Dr. Mimi Guarneri. She is a cardiologist by trade, but after spending her 30s treating hundreds of heart patients in dire need of help, she set up her own 'integrative medicine' centre to start to treat the causes and well as the symptoms of the patients she was encountering. Today's interview contains some fascinating stories, including the 'three magic words' that had a profound impact on a patient's wellbeing. This interview was a loooong time in the planning. Dr. Mimi is a busy lady and so I'm thrilled we finally managed to get it sorted.

Did you know that nationally twenty percent of adults read at or under the fifth grade level¹? Learn English" contains over 800 frequently-employed English phrases and vocabularies for travelers and beginners. Numerous of our students go on to take an IELTS exam (Melton College is the only IELTS centre in York) in order to continue their studies at a British university. It is not uncommon to see learners comparing and contrasting their first language with the foreign language they are understanding to find out regions in which the two languages are distinct or equivalent so that they can find out the new language more rapidly. CELTA is the Certificate in English Language Teachings to Adults and DELTA is its larger diploma progression. Doing business properly in Singapore calls for a particular level of English language skills.
I would definitely recommend my own internet site which includes: 100+ how-to videos (lesson planning, games, activities, classroom management, and so on.) shot in the classroom, video interviews with teachers in Asia, free of charge ebooks, guides and other sources. Rather of only learning new vocabulary or new grammar , you can also practice listening , reading , writing and yes—even speaking ! A growing quantity of states, such as Virginia and Missouri, supply on the web prep courses as nicely. During these unique further-curricular activities, students were more relaxed and a lot more willing to engage in totally free conversation. GED Connection is the only free of charge on-line plan officially certified by ACE GED Testing Service.
Finding out is normally effortless and usually happens from mimicking sounds and intonations as accomplished by adults. For more classroom writing activities to use in your classroom, have a look at the ESL Writing Activities for Adults and Youngsters on ESL Expat's web site. Totally free colouring pages and worksheets with numbers or alphabet letters, connecting dots, animals, seasons, etc. Phrasalstein operates with users to rid themselves of any errors related to phrasal verbs and consists of numerous meanings as a way to rid of any confusion and make it a much more powerful platform for understanding. I appreciate you sharing your experiences in teaching English to adults in Saudi Arabia.
This is also where I invite participants to set a personal learning objective based on the outcome. Superb lens for these who would like to earn on the web college degrees in whichever field they desire. Whatever your cause to find out English, along with our group of committed teachers, we have created a total immersion method of finding out exactly where you are offered the opportunity to merge into the nearby life-style even though practising and enhancing your command of the English language in a friendly and homey atmosphere. Mixxer – This free educational website was developed for language learners who want to practice their writing and speaking abilities with other folks around the globe.
This will enable the teacher to select or generate suitable teaching and finding out supplies. Approaches of drawing and conversation are quite powerful you teach new vocabulary by displaying images, flashcards or other visuals, by speaking about provided topics (try to use English as considerably as achievable) and the youngsters are learning by listening, hunting at images, drawing, colouring and sooner or later speaking. All studying units are displayed on the app, displaying the last rate of the correct answers, the lowest and highest learning level reached so far utilizing colors, and the remaining time in days until vocabularies should be recalled.

The day before vacation always feels the longest. By this time tomorrow, I'll be in the city that never sleeps. My two favourite little cousins and I are off on our first parent-less adventure! As you can imagine, it has been a struggle to rein in my wandering brain.
(You try focusing on a steady stream of emails while Frank Sinatra's beautiful voice is singing the "Theme from New York, New York" over and over in your head. Not so easy, friends. Not so easy.)
All this mental roaming has me feeling a lot like this little guy in today's doodle.
Much like the alien, I do not belong among the earthlings (a.k.a. working folk) today. The mothership calls me home. I miss my cousins!
This is what happens when your family is scattered. I am glad we don't live in faraway Hong Kong anymore, but I sure wish our parents hadn't settled so far away from each other after leaving Old Country.
Side note: In this perfect world scenario, I'm envisioning these cousins to come join us in Toronto. I don't really want to live in Kansas or Arkansas. (Sorry, cuzzies! I'm not cut out for life in Tornado Alley.)
As for tying in the tropical cocktail … who doesn't need one of those at the end of a long day at work?

This is an idea that's been kicking around in scientific circles for about five or six years. The basic hypothesis is that there's a specific set of chromosomes that create the emotional sensations we associate with things spiritual. It does not consider whether God or any form of super-nature exists, it merely says there are genes within us that give us spiritual feelings.
According to Wikipedia (admittedly not a 100% reliable source) these include "self-forgetfulness" (as in the tendency to become totally absorbed in some activity, such as reading); "transpersonal identification" (a feeling of connectedness to a larger universe); and "mysticism" (an openness to believe things not literally provable, such as ESP).
The more militant atheists are quick to point to the "god gene" as a rational explanation for religion and spiritual beliefs. They (i.e., these specific atheists, not those just positing the god gene hypothesis) claim this only confirms God and the supernatural are imaginary concepts, that they do not exist, that there are merely figments of human imagination.
Well, ya live by the rational materialistic standard, ya die by the rational materialistic standard. Let's examine their claims re the god gene.
For the purposes of this discussion (and so no one can claim we're taking a home field advantage), we'll stipulate evolution works the way the rationalistic theorists claim it does: Life occurred by chance, arising from inert non-organic material and evolving over billions of years from simple single cell organisms to highly complex multi-cell creatures with various specialized organs.
Point 1: Light existed before eyes evolved. Sound (at least in the sense of vibrations carried through the air) existed before ears evolved. Every sense possessed by humans and animals was evolved in response to preexisting stimulation in the real world.
Point 2: Seeing/hearing/experiencing imaginary things is not a survival trait. If it was, we'd all be schizophrenics.
Ergo, if the god gene does exist and if it functions as advertised, then it points to the reality of a supernatural, spiritual world, not disprove it.
But wait! There's more!
Now we are finding even stronger evidence leading to a hardwired linkage between the physical biological world and the mental/spiritual one. Again, the evidence doesn't point conclusively to the existence of a spiritual, sueprnatural realm...
...but it sure doesn't point away from it, either.
Rather, it tells us something is going on, something beyond what can be accounted for in simple biochemical/materialistic terms. (Seriously, check out all the links, you'll be glad you did: Fascinating reading.)

Take the mean and dirty rock 'n roll of Motörhead, the distinctiveness of Queens Of The Stone and energy of Airbourne. Wasteland Viper combines these influences into the new rock sensation from the East of the Netherlands. After the release of their video clip and first single 'Get Your Fix', Wasteland Viper released their debut EP 'Unleash The Beast' on the 19th of May this year. The reviews are positive and the band is booked more often. National and international gigging experience was gained by the band, which brought them to venues like Atak and Metropool and at festivals like Green Vibrations and Popelucht. Wasteland Viper guarantees a loud and grooving set that makes you thirsty. So get yourself a beer, throw your fist in the air and put the pedal to the metal!

Say 'road trip' and you think adventure. Even if that adventure is only: "Come to Ramada for our all-day breakfast!" But say 'road trip' in India and you can pretty much expect anything: maharajas, carnivals, sandstorms, jungles, monkeys, riots, beggars, nirvana. They don't call it 'Incredible India' for nothing. Our India road trip landed us breathless, in a gaggle of elephants, giraffes, a princely entourage and dancing girls… and this was before lunch.
We were in the province of Rajasthan and had just finished filming amongst the forts and palaces of Jodhpur. Now me and the guys got up early and stuffed ourselves into a little Subaru with our driver. Through the sun's early rays, we took a last look back at our hotel, the Umaid Bhawan Palace originally - built by a local maharaja - and then headed down India's route 62.
We were traveling to the lake city of Udaipur. To another royal palace, turned hotel. If you should have an interest in viewing insanely commanding palaces, forts and temples… India's your place.
In a typical Indian city, you could be walking down the street, passing ordinary shops and stands, turn a corner and run into a 500-year-old temple, rising to heaven. They're everywhere. They throw up palaces to the gods the way we throw up county stadiums.
For instance, just humming along route 62, crammed in our Subaru, we came upon Ranakpur Temple. It is said to be the most beautiful Jain temple in the world. For 600 years it has commanded this spot with its 1,444 uniquely carved marble pillars, turrets, cupolas and a block of stone carved into 108 snake heads. Count 'em.
Its four portals reach out to the four worldly directions and to the cosmos. We have no roadside attraction like that here, unless you count the legendary chain of "Indian" rest stops called Wigwam Village.
Their semi-circle tee-pees were built to encourage a sense of community and connection amongst their visitors. And perhaps to the spirits in the sky…
And don't laugh, Wigwam Villages #6 and #7 are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. See, we place a premium on our heritage as well.
Monkeys seem to hold a special place in India. Amongst the golden passageways of Ranakpur Temple lives a large population of Langur monkeys. They scatter about the temple and its grounds, peering at visitors and chattering.
It's hard to picture something like that here.
Imagine a large monkey population running about St. Patrick's or the National Cathedral. Can you see the parishioners as they run screaming from God's house? Which brings up our own Monkey Close Encounter of the Silly Kind.
After visiting the temple our driver took us to the nearby Kumbhalgarh Reserve. Steve our cameraman was up front, riding shotgun as we trundled along a little road in the wildlife sanctuary. This reserve was home to such exotics as wolves, leopards, jackals, hyenas, bears and jungle cats.
I suppose if we'd had some time to spend there we would have spotted a least a hyena or two, perhaps a jungle cat. As it was, we could only spare a few minutes as we were due in Udaipur (which sort of sounds like a novelty tune from the 1920's – "I'm Due Due Due in Udaipur – If You-daipur Love Me in Udaipur Too").
Anyway, all we saw were more monkeys romping about on the road, in the trees and on nearby ledges. And then suddenly with a traditional Kumbhalgarth greeting, three or four of them landed with a bang on the roof of the car.
Steve's window was open and one of the monkeys lowered his head, upside-down to look at us. It was so cute. Those of us in the back seat laughed at the little scamp poking his head in. Then another dropped down and even reached into the car. They were delightful! Although Steve didn't seem that happy.
His window control must have been locked so he said to our driver, "Please close the window."
Our driver was multi-lingual, speaking Hindi and probably several local dialects like Marwari. But alas, no English. He didn't respond to Steve's request, leaving the window wide open.
Now both monkeys were poking their heads in. They were adorable. Steve didn't agree. "Close the window," he again told the driver. Again, no response.
Emboldened, and perhaps attracted to Steve's brightly colored shirt, they reached out to Steve, making little chattering sounds. Steve jerked away, waving them off. The monkeys responded by waving off Steve. Steve responded by swiping at them. The monkeys responded by swiping back at Steve. It quickly devolved into a bitch slapping contest – man and monkey. Little fists flew… the monkeys also got into it.
Now waving his arms, Steve was frantic, "Close the window!, CLOSE THE WINDOW!, CLOSE THE WINDOW!!"
At last the driver understood. He nodded and smiled. From the safety of the back seat, we were in hysterics. The window raised with a whoosh, creating the much-desired barrier between Steve and the attack monkeys.
Ashen and in disbelief, he turned around to us. Through our laughter, we took over for the monkeys and swiped at Steve. Even our driver was amused.
Ahh, India. Our day couldn't get any crazier… or could it?
The Taj Lake Palace Hotel
…magnificently lives up to its name. It is a stunning white marble palace sitting (or standing) out in the middle of a lake. Lake Pichola to be precise, in the city of Udaipur, known as the Venice of the East.
I had seen photos of this 250-year-old winter palace and was looking forward to hopping a boat and discovering its wonders.
As we neared the shore we spotted the dazzling white edifice, seemingly floating out on the lake. There seemed to be some kind of commotion near the pier – people in costumes, antique cars, a carriage with horses. Off to the side were a gaggle of young women with scarves, headdresses and finger cymbals.
Now more horses… elephants?... camels?? The assembly was large and colorful. They seemed to be setting up some kind of procession. It must be a holiday – perhaps this was a big celebration to the God Shiva, or is it Vishnu?
Our driver pulled to a stop in the middle of this scene. Was it OK to park here? I suggested to Steve that he break out his camera to catch some of this spectacle. Only in India could you stumble across something so grand and so unexpected.
As I climbed out of the Subaru, taking in the nearby camels, I noticed some of the celebrants were eying me. Uh, oh, we can't park here. I was about to get back in the car, when a young fellow in a natty suit rushed over to me,
"Mr. Jon Lapidese, Sahib?" "Huh?", I must have said. He continued, "I am Rajinder from the Taj Lake Palace. We have everything ready for you and your crew!"
"Whaa?...", was about all I could muster.
"Did they not they tell you? We are doing a Honeymoon Procession for our wedding couple..." - he pointed to a young bride and groom seated in the nearby carriage – "It is a magnificent sendoff before they board the boat to the hotel…and you are going to film it!"
So… I guess there was no problem with our parking here after all.
I took a step back and blinked at the sudden enormity of this moment – dancers, elephants, antique cars, horses, camels and yes, even some monkeys on leashes. Plus, a bride and groom.
Welcome to Bollywood. I half expected flying saucers to come hovering overhead.
I stretched my back from the hours of car riding and to get the blood flowing to my brain. "Well…", I motioned to the guys, "Let's put on a show. I think…"
They Were All Eyes
… on me – dancers, footmen, the couple, the horses, the elephants… Everyone was assembled and ready and waiting for my instructions.
I took a breath and hopped around, figuring the best way to cover this wedding circus spectacle parade. I figured this was a regular feature the hotel offered to honeymooning couples, so these folks have probably all done this before. But now they were to be filmed by an American film crew. They were excited and followed my every move.
After our winding drive from Jodhpur, all I had expected was to hop a boat to the hotel and get lunch. Now suddenly I was reborn as Ring Master Sahib. The only thing missing was my cape and top hat.
The wedding couple were actually employees from the hotel who had bravely volunteered for their roles. They were good looking kids who sat stiffly, with motionless smiles in the rear seat of their carriage. Clearly, they were more front desk than front stage.
But… they were the center of all that was happening here this morning. It was to celebrate their joyful "union" that the hotel had assembled this Udaipurian extravaganza. Plus us. So, I wanted to make sure these kids shined in the roles they were born to play.
I needed them to show affection toward each other – nothing big – a smile, a starry-eyed glance. But they were so shy, probably co-workers. Maybe they hadn't volunteered at all. Maybe this was one of those "arranged" marriages I had heard about… At least for today. I encouraged them to snuggle. But they just looked at me, immobile with their fixed smiles, probably terrified.
Ok, the elephants were getting impatient. The camels were complaining. Time to bring this circus to town. Steve was ready with his camera. As was JR with the audio.
I hopped onto a low stone wall to survey my new kingdom, all of them eager and ready to perform. Taking one last breath, I turned to Tim, the Assistant Director and called out:
"Cue the elephants! Cue the dancing girls!"
He cued them. Astonished at my own voice, I laughed, "Did I really just say that??"
Well apparently so because the elephants began to lumber and the dancing girls leapt into action. They twirled. They spun. Their finger cymbals ringing through the air. Cars, carriages and camels lurched forward in this gushing celebration of holy matrimony… or at least of the hotel's premier honeymoon package.
Steve was catching it all – the elegance of the horse drawn carriage, the majesty of the towering animals… though he gave the monkeys a wide berth. They seemed to notice this and chattered at him.
And then, as if all those people and animals and vehicles weren't enough… bats! Yes, giant bats suddenly swarmed out from their caves, flying overhead like an aerial escort. We did have UFO's after all!
Perhaps it was the vibration of all the activity or maybe just the "vibe" we gave out, but the bats joined in, flapping about, excited to be a part of this jubilee.
From my perch I took in this moment – the antique cars, the animals, the dancing girls… the bats. Even my couple in their carriage smiled and looked as though they might be enjoying themselves.
It was like I had been dropped into the middle of my own Fellini movie. It was my "8 ½", my "Satyricon", my "La Strada".
What a wonderful gift. Only in India.
And… all this before lunch!

Becoming Whole: Week 19 For Such A TIME As This.....TIMING!
I was meditating on these words this week that have become so familiar to many of us....FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. The key word here is TIME. For such a TIME as this....God positioned an unexpected orphaned jewish woman to save her people. It was God's time that became her time. If Esther would have decided to pass on the fast, and simply keep her position as Queen, she would have missed her destiny. If she would have waited weeks or months later to voice her plea, her fellow jewish people would have been destroyed. Are you getting the impact of TIMING?
Much like the season of Esther thousands of years ago, I believe we are in God's timing today. I believe we are in A For Such A Time As This moment. A time where God is releasing Esthers. These modern day Esthers will stand for their inheritance, make their way into the inner chamber, live out a divine destiny, and carry visible evidence that they have been with the King.
This past week as I have sought to get direction on how we finish this season strong, I am lead to these words
PURITY, INTIMACY and DESTINY.
I will show you this week why this particular order is so important, but for today I want you to know that this is aligned to His timing. How do I know? I am so glad you asked! I have been studying the Hebrew calendar this year, and I have found that it aligns to my life. You see the Jewish people believe that God makes things available in each month that we can grab hold to. So the past year, I paid close attention to the calendar and found that it was often what I was seeing in my life. It was so often that I found my life aligned to it that I began to study more. Instead of looking for what was available, I began to expect what was available.
So last weekend I prepared for my Bible study group this week to focus this month on PURIFYING. I was drawn to spending January purifying. Then I taught a freedom class last Monday on ANGER. It was suppose to be a small group and there was a national championship game on tv, so we expected even smaller, but 72 people came to be freed from anger. Can we say timing? My word for the year is FOCUS, so I had gathered three books on healing and freedom and set them at my altar to start FOCUSING on further education myself in the place that I know God is calling me to. So with all of this going on in my life, I finally got around to looking at the Hebrew month we are in called Tevet. Even though I had not read the calendar, my life was completely aligned to it. If you are interested in studying more of the Hebrew Calendar, pay attention to the image above that shows you what they believe is available in the month of Tevet!
A month of holy ANGER…do not sin in your anger.
Cover godly authority in prayer….your home, your church, your community, your nation.
New life flows: Pay attention to prophetic words so you don't miss destiny.
Be willing to war where God calls you and stand for your inheritance.
This is a time of fasting and PURIFYING!
A time of aligning with the right people.
The good eye is very vital this month. See the glass half full!
FOCUS on stepping toward education in the next phase. { Read, school, intern, watch videos…}
Isn't this amazing! I have a friend that is publishing a book of her journals last year following the same calendar seeking to get others to pay attention to His timing! Yeah! So we recognize that God calls us to PURIFY, and so we purify our hearts and our bodies to prepare for the next phase in February of Intimacy.
For this week: Assignments
1.) Make sure you have a place to meet with God. There is something special about designating a place, even if it is your closet with all of your clothes still in it;)
2.)Awaken your destiny: Journal everything that comes to mind about your Destiny. Things you love. Words spoken over you. Dreams etc…
3.) Receive John 15 as your Inheritance Word, so every day go to your secret place and read it. Memorize it. Ask Him to Prune you so that you are purified.
Ask Him to show you good fruit, and be thankful for how far you have come!
4.) Review Tevet and see what God is telling you to grab hold of in January.
I will see you in a few days! I have so much to share with you about this season, but for now set your heart in the hands of the pruner and allow Him to make your life beautiful!

My New Toy
My friend Jason (BLOG) and Jessie are computer artists working in the animation industry. Both are also fine artists. I have been watching how they use computer to create fine arts. It seems to be fun, and you can do pretty much what you can do on canvas (with the exception of paint texture), ONCE you MASTER the use of the pressure sensitive tablets. With their suggestions, I bought this WACOM tablets (approximately $300) which arrived yesterday. I installed it today and used the bundled simple art software called Corel Painter to paint a simple painting of this lamp on my desk. Don't think I did very well. I spent 3 hours includng getting familiar with the software functions and to get a feel of the tablets (various brushand their size selection, pressure, hand-eye coordination, color mixer). It is interesting to learn new things. The next step is to get a better software. Jason suggested ARTRAGE ($30). I will download it soon. Will see how far I can go with this new toy.

It sounds as if Jamie Dimon has been brushing up on his Sun Tzu.
Mr. Dimon, the chief executive and chairman of JPMorgan Chase, appears to be goading one of his biggest rivals into the perilous terrain of global investment banking. He suggested in an interview with Bloomberg News that if Wells Fargo wanted to compete internationally, it would have to buy a Wall Street franchise. That would recklessly push the otherwise boring Wells Fargo, led by John G. Stumpf, deeper into businesses it does not know well.
Wells Fargo, based in San Francisco, has a generally narrower focus on home buyers and corporate borrowers in the United States, which appeals to investors these days. Simplicity has trumped sprawl and riskier operations like bond trading since the financial crisis. JPMorgan trades at 90 percent of its expected 2016 book value, according to estimates culled by Reuters Eikon, but the larger Wells Fargo fetches a multiple of 1.3 times.
Mr. Dimon gives the impression that he is both impressed by and fearful of Wells Fargo's slow and steady rise in corporate finance. Though it is not top five in any broad market category, Mr. Stumpf's bank claimed 2.5 percent of the industry's global fees last year, as tallied by Thomson Reuters. That's a far cry from JPMorgan's leading 6.9 percent, but it put Wells Fargo ahead of the likes of UBS and Lazard, mainly on the back of selling bonds and syndicating loans for clients.
Notwithstanding concerns from regulators, there would probably be some willing sellers of investment banking operations. Barclays, Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank are struggling to develop profitable strategies in the new capital-intensive world order. Mr. Dimon may be theoretically correct in saying that top clients operate globally, and that Wells Fargo could chase them across oceans with an acquisition leveraging its corporate relationships and lower cost of capital.
History suggests that kind of derring-do is fraught with danger, however. It would be uncharacteristic for Wells Fargo, and would undoubtedly spook its shareholders, including Warren E. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Mr. Stumpf will be familiar with Mr. Buffett's aversion to investment banking. Such a bold move would distract Wells Fargo from the traditional lending at which it excels and developing the technology needed to attract a new generation of customers.
Surely, Mr. Dimon would not want any of that to happen.

Wonder Woman #56 // Review
Diana and the Justice League Dark team take on the goddess of magic in this week's Wonder Woman #56, written by James Tynion IV, with pencils by Emanuela Lupacchino, inks by Ray McCarthy, and colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr. This is part two to last week's Witching Hour special one shot, but it's not completely necessary to pick that up to understand the story, as Tynion does well enough recapping the situation and explaining Hecate's motives in this issue.
Previously, Diana discovered that she had been branded by Hecate, Goddess of Magic, as a child, and now that brand is being activated in order for her to use Diana to destroy all magic. With the help of Wonder Woman's magic-oriented Justice League Dark, she has been able to elude Hecate, but the team has now discovered that Diana is one of five branded magic users that the goddess has used to store her power over many years. If the JLD can't keep Hecate from reclaiming her power and destroying all magic, it could mean the end of the world as they know it.
Tynion does a great job pulling all of the magic users from across the DC universe in this story, but, in this issue particularly, he surprises the audience with the deep cut Justice League character, Manitou Dawn. She plays a key role in the book (which won't be spoiled here), but it's nice to know the character has survived the New 52 era intact, considering it's hard to tell what parts of JLA history are in or out of continuity these days. Similarly, Deadman makes an appearance that will hopefully lead to his joining the JLD permanently. If the first two chapters of this arc are any indication, though, there are plenty more of your favorite magic-oriented DC characters to come.
Tynion also does amazing work, filling in the Wonder Woman readers on what happened in the previous chapter in the most organic way possible. The opening was a little disorienting, even if you had read part one, but then the story evens out, and all the information you could want about the predicament Diana and her team are in is presented in an organic way. These crossovers can tend to be overly-expository, or the complete opposite, not filling the readers in enough from chapter to chapter, so it's nice to see Tynion hit that perfect balance without impeding on the fun of the story.
The MVP of the cast of characters this issue is, without a doubt, Circe. Tynion has a lot of fun playing with her personality here, showing her dark, villainous side, and then a much warmer, welcoming aspect of her that suggests readersz don't know nearly as much about this Wonder Woman villainess as they thought they did. Here's hoping Tynion gets to write her more in the future, because he could get tons of mileage out of his version of the character.
Lupacchino does an excellent job rendering Wonder Woman and most of her teammates as distinct personalities with beautiful art, and does an especially excellent job with Circe's entrance. Even if her Detective Chimp is a little wonky, she would be welcome on this book any time. The inks and colors by McCarthy and Fajardo do nothing but enhance the already pitch-perfect pencils, and everything comes together for a well-told story that doubles as a visual treat.
Even if you missed the first chapter of The Witching Hour, you shouldn't let that scare you away from picking up this issue of Wonder Woman. Everything is pretty well explained, and you wouldn't feel lost as long as you're willing to wait for Tynion to fill you in later in the book. The story itself is entertaining, and marks the return of the epic magic story that hasn't been seen in a while from DC, so it's definitely worth a look if that's what you've been missing from this company.

Hobbiton: New Zealand for LOTR fans
By: Beth Pollock
New Zealand is full of stirring landscapes, from the Remarkables mountain range to gorgeous Milford Sound. But it would be unthinkable to visit this beautiful country without seeing its most pastoral site – Hobbiton, the movie set of the hobbit village featured in the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies.
Since I stayed nearby overnight, I opted for an early morning tour, hoping to avoid big crowds. Many of Hobbiton's visitors are day-trippers from Auckland, and I assumed the crowds would build later in the day. (They did – my tour had only five people, while the site was quite crowded when we left, just before noon.)
I didn't know what to expect from the other fans. Of course I've watched the LOTR movies dozens of times, but I thought I might be touring with fans dressed as Legolas, and possibly communicating in Elvish. But when our driver took a poll, I was the only one who had read the books, and two passengers hadn't even seen the movies. (Wait, there are people who haven't seen the LOTR movies??)
As we drove to the site, we watched a couple of films about the making of the movies and the farm the set was built on. The set of Hobbiton had been torn down after the Lord of the Rings movies, but was rebuilt for the Hobbit trilogy, this time designed to last.
One of the reasons director Peter Jackson chose this property was the 120-year old radiata pine – it's the tree Bilbo Baggins stands under when he speaks at his eleventy-first birthday in the Fellowship of the Ring. Our guide, Chris, told us the farmer hadn't read the books and didn't know who Peter Jackson was, but agreed to let him lease the land. Because the property is so huge, he farmed the rest of his land while Jackson and the film crew worked their movie magic in that section.
Speaking of the party scene, listen for a high-pitched scream when the dragon fireworks go off. That's Billy Boyd, the actor who played Pippin. He wasn't expecting the fireworks to actually detonate – he thought they'd be dubbed in later – and he screamed in terror when they did. Jackson loved his impromptu reaction and kept it in the movie.
Hobbiton is charming, built to look like a small English town. There were many sheep on the farm, but Jackson thought they looked too modern, so he hid them and instead imported Suffolk sheep to appear in the movie. The sheep earned their keep, eating the grass in the village to keep it short.
The books mentioned plum trees which Jackson, a stickler for detail, wanted to recreate. However, plum trees aren't native to New Zealand, so the crew cultivated apple and pear trees, and a staffer spent hours affixing fake plums on the trees. Unfortunately, after all that work, the scene was cut.
The hobbit holes are charming, and the tour took us past over 40 of them, some with children's toys, a weaving loom, or a table of fresh baking in the front. Of course, the highlights were Frodo's house, Bag End (with a green door) and Sam's house (with a yellow door). Chris told us duplicate doors for these houses were scaled to size, so the hobbits stood next to the taller doors to look small, while Gandalf stood next to shorter doors to accentuate his height.
The pond has its own story. Before the start of filming, Jackson created the pond in the village to add to its pastoral feeling. However, a group of frogs moved in almost immediately, and made so much noise they were drowning out the dialogue. So Jackson hired a diver to remove the frogs, returning them to the pond after filming was finished.
Hobbiton is popular for wedding photos, and a bride and groom were posing next to the Mill while we visited. (I'm pleased to report that they weren't wearing hobbit ears or feet.) I just hope they're as happy as Samwise Gamgee and Rosie Cotton.
We finished with refreshments at the Green Dragon. There was no second breakfast on offer, but I did enjoy a Girdley Fine Grain amber ale by the fireplace. As Merry and Pippin sang in The Return of the King:
"The only brew for the brave and true
Comes from the Green Dragon!"
It was a perfect way to end a visit to Middle Earth.
Where to stay
Eldonwood Bed and Breakfast: Set about a kilometer outside the nearby town of Matamata, Eldonwood is a cozy, comfortable B&B with lovely hosts. Breakfasts were delicious, filling, and completely homemade: eggs, potato hash browns, and granola with yogurt will fill you up nicely for a visit to Hobbiton. Hosts Fay and Willie are friendly and hospitable, welcoming visitors to chat or watch TV with them in the evenings.

Cache Valley Creamery
When it comes to custom mascot costumes, we expect to be asked to create anything...within reason. So, we usually have to keep an open mind. Some concepts can be way out there, but....to be honest, we didn't know what to think when our friends at Cache Valley Creamery asked us to bring 2 of their most popular cheese products to life as mascot costumes.
Cheese? How do you make a cheese mascot costume?? (We thought they'd ask us to make cow!!)
Instead, "Mr. Mozza"...the cheese string and "Colby Jack" were born! Our best advice to them...be cheese...don't' be cheesy! Either way, They are always smiling and saying "Cheese"!
We are so proud to welcome these larger than life...and truly unique characters into our mascot family!
'Colby Jack' and 'Mr Mozza' are TMC Original™ designs.

Bathroom is a very important part of your home. So you should decorate your bathroom properly. If you have got a separate bathroom for your little one in your home, then you should take proper care while decorating the bathroom. There are many bathroom decoration ideas that you can choose from for your little ones.
First thing that comes is the flooring of your bathroom. Since you are decorating the bathroom for your little one, then you should go for such flooring which is less slippery and ensures safety of your little one. Proper lighting should be done in your bathroom.
Get a number of shelves and drawers constructed in the bathroom. This will enable your little one to keep his/her items like towels, bathing suites, etc in the drawers. Shampoos, soaps, face wash, etc kept on the shelves will allow them to have those things when they want to. You will not have to rush every time they go to the bathroom to help them.

BT told to speed up broadband and phone repairs, ISPs respond
BT, Sky and TalkTalk have welcomed draft Ofcom plans to improve the performance of BT Openreach on line repairs and installations.
Openreach connects properties to BT's network on behalf of competing providers, including Sky and TalkTalk.
Ofcom, the UK telecoms regulator, has proposed that 80% of phone and broadband faults should be repaired within two working days and 80% of customers waiting for a new line should be assigned an appointment within 12 working days.
A Sky spokesperson told Cable.co.uk: "Given how important broadband is for millions of families every day, it is good news that Ofcom will now regulate the quality of Openreach's service.
"However, we believe tougher standards are needed to match customer expectations on installation and repair times and we will continue to press Ofcom to take stronger action."
The changes will be introduced gradually over the next three years, with possible fines for failure to meet targets, according to Ofcom.
A TalkTalk spokesperson told us the company was "pleased that Ofcom is acting to ensure BT Openreach deliver a good service, with strong targets and penalties if they fail to deliver."
"We have long called for this on behalf of our customers and Ofcom is right to intervene."
A spokesperson for BT, which announced on 19 May that it will recruit 1,600 new Openreach engineers to improve customer service, told Cable.co.uk: "Openreach is committed to improving its customer service levels so we support the new targets outlined by Ofcom today.
"The creation of a further 1,600 engineering jobs over the course of this year will ensure it continues to meet or exceeds these standards. We have also stated that we will publish regular performance data on the Openreach website from this summer to increase transparency."
Ofcom also intends to enforce a 78% cut to the wholesale fee for superfast broadband, which is the cost a provider must pay to Openreach when a consumer switches to their fibre broadband service.
Currently set at £50, it will be reduced £11, and Ofcom suggested the revised fee "would allow providers to offer lower retail start-up fees".
In addition, the minimum length of the wholesale contract between BT and the new fibre supplier would be cut from one year to one month.
Ofcom confirmed it is "not intending to set the level of wholesale prices for Openreach's fibre service", as "the price of fibre broadband is currently constrained by the availability of standard broadband services, and by competition from Virgin Media's cable network."
However, the regulator added that it would soon propose "new guidance on its future approach to the 'margin' that BT sets between its wholesale and retail fibre prices". This was welcomed by TalkTalk, which said it was "pleased" to see Ofcom "reiterating its intention to take action on fibre margin regulation."
The changes mark the conclusion of Ofcom's Fixed Access Market Review and are now subject to EU approval in June.

"There simply aren't enough great things I can say about this book. It is equal parts challenging, maddening, enlightening, and even humorous. Dominick has a way of cutting to the core on hard-hitting issues while managing to weave in threads of humor along the way."
- Debra L
"This book is exactly as headlined, a well placed kick in the pants, and an eye (and mind) opening experience From the get go, with great insights, self reflection and humor, Dominick helps you pull your head out of the sand that is your routine life and forces you to face a limitless future."
- Nick R
"There are so many books on "making your dreams come true" without having any grasp or grounding in reality. What sets Design Your Future apart is that it goes beyond the aspirational to the practical. It is a book that looks honestly at the lives we the people live - the fears we have, the struggles we face."
- Endeavoring E
"I really cannot recommend this book highly enough! It's thoughtful, well-written, beautifully designed and will change your life for the better."

U.S. Job Openings Cool in Slowing Labor Market
A pullback in openings aligns with other labor-market signals pointing to a slowdown
WASHINGTON—The number of job openings decreased in July from a year earlier for the second consecutive month, underscoring slowing demand for new workers, though opportunities remain plentiful for job seekers.
Job postings fell 3% from a year earlier in July to 7.217 million after declining 2% in June, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. Before June, job openings hadn't decreased year over year since early 2017.

Of the run of swimming & diving programs to be cut over the last decade, Tuesday's announcement that Eastern Michigan would drop their men's swimming & diving team is one of the most stunning and perplexing yet. The program is one of the school's most successful, having won 34 MAC conference titles, including 3 of the last 4. While every cut program leads to an outpouring of emotions ranging from anger and frustration to sympathy and support for those who lost their teams, the latest cut seems to have hit a special chord with swim fans across the country. The emotion seems to be hinged upon the realization that no level of competitive success appears to be enough to save a program, not even if that program is the most successful one on campus. For coaches, that means that being good at your job isn't enough. For athletes, that means choosing a school that's a good fit for you, giving all of yourself to that school, and excelling in the classroom and the pool isn't enough.
While the Clemson and Maryland cuts earlier this decade might have drawn a similar outcry because of the prominence of the schools at large, those cuts came in the infancy of social media (and of SwimSwam, where I reported the news for a predecessor site, The Swimmers' Circle, that many of you have probably never heard of).
Below, see the Tweets that have flooded our timeline in the hour-or-so since we reported the news. The flood of responses has come at an unprecedented rate, even compared to other recent Division I cuts like Wright State and Buffalo. Take note: efforts to change the course of Eastern Michigan's decision have already begun, and we will be calling on the same emotion that has prompted today's reaction on social media and in the comments section in the coming months to support that effort in concrete ways. We know our audience won't go quiet when that times come, much as they didn't when the swimming community rauised $85,000 last year to stave off Wright State's cut.
Included among the respondents is Michelle Swift, mother of Carter Swift, the 2018 MAC Freshman of the Year who moved from Australia to swim at Eastern Michigan. The disgust also rang from local and national competitors, showing that saving our sport is above rivalry. Messages also came from people like Joey Puglessi, who currently swims at Cincinnati, and was a member of the Buffalo men's team that was cut last year. A high school program in Michigan, South Lyon High, was also deeply impacted – 2 of the team's coaches and 4 of the school's alumni swam or dove at EMU. Even Sarah Dunleavy, assistant coach with one of the most successful programs of this generation the Cal women, spoke out, calling it "heartbreaking to see."

Highway guardrails exist to protect drivers from serious injury, but a Missouri father has blamed a guardrail for his daughter's death.
"I got a phone call and it was my daughter screaming 'daddy,'" Brett Adams said.
It was Dec. 13 and three of Adams' daughters were together driving to their brother's house in Southeast Missouri. The roads were icy. There were 13 wrecks that day, including the Adams' car.
Adams' daughter Michaela was behind the wheel. She hit ice, fish-tailed and went off the road, striking the guard rail.
By the time Adams arrived at the scene, another daughter, 16-year-old Charity, who had been sitting in the back seat and strapped into her seat belt, had already been pronounced dead.
The Adams' lawsuit blames Charity's death on the guardrail.
"It speared, intruded, penetrated, whatever term you would like to use, but yes, this huge W beam went into the space where Charity was seated," Attorney Kent Emison said.
Emison said the guardrail, known as the ET Plus, is so dangerous it should never have been put on the road. You can find them by the thousands, however, in nearly every state, including Kansas and Missouri.
Guardrails are supposed to slow cars down when they go off the road. Multiple lawsuits alleged that the ET Plus is so poorly designed that on impact, it can lock up and bend, creating a lethal spear that can penetrate a car.
"These guardrails will cut up a car like it's butter in a fraction of a second," Emison said.
Emison blamed a failure by the manufacturer, Trinity Industries, to have the product sufficiently tested or analyzed by engineers before putting it on the road.
Jeffrey Eller, a spokesman for Trinity Industries, denied the guardrail is dangerous and sent FOX4 this statement:
"The ET Plus has never been found defective in any court of law. It meets all standards set forth by the Federal Highway Administration."
But the Adams' lawsuit claimed Trinity never initially disclosed to buyers that it had changed main components when it designed its new ET Plus guardrail. The lawsuit alleged the main reason Trinity began selling the ET Plus -- and stopped selling an older, more reliable guardrail -- was to increase profits.
An email from then Trinity Vice President Steve Brown to his corporate team states:
"If Wade's numbers are good, we would save $2 for each end terminal. That's $50,000 a year."
Emison said Trinity created the savings by "cheaping it up."
"They changed it from a 5-inch beam to a 4-inch beam," he said. "Now that doesn't sound like much, but that's 20 percent. They reduced the weight by 100 pounds. All in the interest of saving $2. Literally $2."
Emison also pointed to the guardrail's end terminal which he said was no longer symmetrical with the rest of the guardrail, causing, he said, the guardrail to lock up and become a deadly dagger.
Attorney Michael Serra, who is also representing the Adams' family, said that not long after the ET Plus went on the market, the state of Virginia became so concerned about its safety, it started running its own tests.
The results were so bad that Virginia banned the guardrail. Since then, more than 25 states have followed suit, including Missouri and Kansas.
The problem is that thousands of these guardrails are still on the roads. No one from the Kansas Department of Transportation would return our phone calls, but Missouri's Dept. of Transportation told FOX4 it is replacing each $2,500 ET Plus guardrail end terminal as they become damaged.
That could take decades. That's a concern for Brett Adams. He wants Trinity to pick up the cost so that they will be replaced more quickly.
"What is a life worth?" Adams asked.

On July 25, 2007, the Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement Administration, issued an Order to Show Cause to Scott Sandarg, D.M.D. (Respondent), of Irvine, California. The Show Cause Order proposed the revocation of Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration, BS6026525, which authorizes him to dispense controlled substances in schedules II through V as a practitioner, and the denial of any pending applications to renew or modify the registration, on the ground that Respondent had committed numerous acts which were inconsistent with the public interest. Show Cause Order at 1.
The Show Cause Order specifically alleged that Respondent had unlawfully obtained controlled substances for his own use which included illicit methamphetamine, anabolic steroids, drugs containing hydrocodone, and several benzodiazepines including alprazolam, through various means including by engaging in prescription fraud and by obtaining the controlled substances over the internet from practitioners with whom he did not establish a valid doctor-patient relationship. Id. at 1-3. The Order also alleged that on two separate occasions, Respondent had been arrested; that the police found various controlled substances in his possession during lawful searches of his property; and that Respondent had subsequently pled guilty to various offenses under California law including one felony count of unlawful possession of a controlled substance in violation of Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11377(a), one misdemeanor count of unlawfully being under the influence of a controlled substance in violation of Cal. Health & Safety Code section 11550(a), and two misdemeanor counts related to firearms violations under Cal. Penal Code section 17(b). Show Cause Order at 2-3.
On September 11, 2007, a DEA Diversion Investigator attempted to serve the Order to Show Cause on Respondent by faxing it to him. On November 9, 2007, Respondent requested a hearing on the allegations of the Show Cause Order, and the matter was assigned to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Thereafter, the Government moved to terminate the proceeding on the ground that Respondent's request was out of time. Respondent opposed the motion, submitting the declarations of himself and his office manager, both of which asserted that the fax had included the cover sheet but not the Show Cause Order. Thereafter, the Government submitted a DI's declaration which maintained that Respondent's office manager had informed him that she had received the entire fax.
The ALJ denied the Government's motion reasoning that there was a factual dispute as to when Respondent had received the Show Cause Order. The ALJ then allowed the Government to file an interlocutory appeal. On May 12, 2008, I denied the appeal because there was a clear factual dispute as to whether Respondent had actually received the Show Cause Order on September 11, 2007, and the dispute could not be resolved without assessing the credibility of each party's witnesses.[1]
Thereafter, the Government moved to terminate the proceeding on the ground that on December 19, 2007, the California Board of Dental Examiners had adopted the proposed decision of a State Administrative Law Judge and revoked Respondent's State Dental Certificate with an effective date of January 21, 2008. Gov. Mot. for Summary Judgment 2-3. The Government argued that because Respondent is not authorized to handle controlled substances in the State in which he is registered with this Agency, he is not entitled to maintain his registration. Id.
Respondent's counsel opposed the motion arguing that he had filed for a writ of administrative mandamus in State court challenging the Board's order. Respondent's Resp. to ALJ's May 21, 2008 Memorandum to Counsel at 1. According to Respondent's counsel, the writ raised multiple claims of error on the part of the State ALJ, and were the court to find any of the claims meritorious, Respondent's license could be restored. Id. Respondent's counsel further argued that DEA's decision be stayed until the State proceeding was resolved. Id. The Government opposed Respondent's motion on the ground that it was speculative whether the State court would grant any relief, and that Start Printed Page 17529this Agency has previously rejected similar arguments.
On July 10, 2008, the ALJ granted the Government's motion. ALJ at 6. The ALJ noted that no material facts were in dispute and that Respondent did not deny that he is currently not authorized under California law to handle controlled substances. Id. Noting that this Agency has consistently held that a practitioner may not maintain his registration if he lacks authority to handle controlled substances under the laws of the State in which he practices, the ALJ granted the motion and recommended that Respondent's registration be revoked and that any pending applications to renew or modify his registration be denied. Id. Thereafter, the ALJ forwarded the record to me for final agency action.
Having considered the entire record in this matter, I adopt the ALJ's decision in its entirety. I find that Respondent holds DEA Certificate of Registration, BS6026529, which authorizes him to dispense controlled substances in schedules II through V at the registered location of 17655 Harvard Place, Suite F, Irvine, California. I further find that while the expiration date of the registration was February 28, 2007, Respondent submitted a timely renewal application and therefore his registration has remained in effect pending the issuance of this Final Order. See 5 U.S.C. 554(e).
I further find, however, that on December 19, 2007, the Dental Board of California ordered that Respondent's State Dental Certificate be revoked with an effective date of January 21, 2008.[2] Moreover, while it has been more than seven months since Respondent's challenge to the Dental Board's proceeding was heard in State court, Respondent has submitted no evidence to the Agency that the Board's revocation order has been set aside or stayed, and according to the Board's Web site, Respondent's Dental Certificate remains revoked.
Under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), a practitioner must be currently authorized to handle controlled substances in "the jurisdiction in which he practices" in order to maintain a DEA registration. See 21 U.S.C. 802(21) ("[t]he term `practitioner' means a physician * * * licensed, registered, or otherwise permitted, by * * * the jurisdiction in which he practices * * * to distribute, dispense, [or] administer * * * a controlled substance in the course of professional practice"). See also id. § 823(f) ("The Attorney General shall register practitioners * * * if the applicant is authorized to dispense * * * controlled substances under the laws of the State in which he practices."). As these provisions make plain, possessing authority under State law to handle controlled substances is an essential condition for holding a DEA registration.
Accordingly, DEA has held repeatedly that the CSA requires the revocation of a registration issued to a practitioner whose State license has been suspended or revoked. David Wang, 72 FR 54297, 54298 (2007); Sheran Arden Yeates, 71 FR 39130, 39131 (2006); Dominick A. Ricci, 58 FR 51104, 51105 (1993); Bobby Watts, 53 FR 11919, 11920 (1988). See also 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3)(authorizing the revocation of a registration "upon a finding that the registrant * * * has had his State license or registration suspended [or] revoked * * * and is no longer authorized by State law to engage in the * * * distribution [or] dispensing of controlled substances").
Here, there is no dispute over the material fact that Respondent's California Dental Certificate has been revoked and that Respondent lacks authority under California law to dispense control substances. Respondent is therefore not entitled to maintain his DEA registration.
Pursuant to the authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 823(f) & 824(a), as well as 28 CFR 0.100(b) & 0.104, I order that DEA Certificate of Registration, BS6026529, issued to Scott Sandarg, D.D.S., be, and it hereby is, revoked. I further order that any pending application of Scott Sandarg, D.D.S., to renew or modify his registration, be, and it hereby is denied. This Order is effective May 15, 2009.Start Signature
Dated: April 3, 2009.
Michele M. Leonhart,
Deputy Administrator.

Full details on submissions at www.bangdreammachine.com
Let me introduce the main character and inventor of the Dream Machine, Dr William Hobton:
Our doctor, once a youthful inventor and a leading light of the Royal Society, has staked his reputation on a radical new method to make humanity better. In 1792 he dedicated his life to ridding people of "fear" and retreated within his sleep hospital, the Old Steine's Marlborough House, to begin his bold dream experiments. There he has remained jealously guarding his discoveries (and his patients!) for the last three hundred years or so. His only companion is his incredible Dream Machine, the contraption by which he keeps his patients in their eternal slumber.
As you can imagine by 2010 his youthful zeal has faded to bitter old age, disillusioned and distracted, unable to complete his experiment, the Doctor dwells within the mansion. There is something he is missing. And his patients, well, they want to wake up...
How will his experiment end? And just how long has he gone without sleeping?
The wonderful 18th century Doctor character design has been created by comics artist Andy P. The image above shows the Doctor at the beginning of his experiment, standing proud with his patented Dream helmet.
Visit our website for all the details on the comics or animation call out and get creating. Deadlines are end of September and early October respectively.

Friends and lawyers were aghast after President Trump brashly declared yesterday that he was willing to testify under oath for special counsel Bob Mueller, to give his own version of events fired FBI director Jim Comey described.
One well-wired Republican said: "The White House says they have the investigation under control. Volunteering to sit down with a special prosecutor is kind of the definition of things not being under control."
These people said the fact that Trump blurted out "100 percent!," in response to a question from ABC's Jon Karl, is proof of why the president shouldn't be giving a deposition to a federal prosecutor. He answered in the moment, with brio, and without regard to what his lawyer or aides might advise.

The head of a private school lobby group in Queensland has called for a public debate about a Medicare-style levy aimed at wealthy parents who send their children to state schools.
David Robertson, executive director of Independent Schools Queensland, said all options had to be considered in the current debate by federal and state politicians over school funding.
Mr Robertson told nine.com.au Australia is entering into a period which will see a new school funding model drawn up, and there should be a "serious debate" about what form it takes.
"We spend $60 billion on schools. We need to ask whether we can continue spending that amount with a shrinking tax base."
"I believe it would be useful to have a discussion about whether or not affluent parents who choose a state school for the education of their child might make a contribution to the costs through a Medicare-type levy.
"We do it for health, why can't we do it for education."
Mr Robertson stressed he was not calling for an end to free education, but said "we need a serious debate about the future of school funding".
At this year's federal election, the Turnbull government pledged to raise school spending by $1.2 billion from 2018-2020.
Last month federal Education Minister Simon Birmingham started talks with state and territory ministers to work out a precise funding deal for 2018-19. Mr Birmingham has suggested previous agreements need revising, and a smarter way to allocate money needs to be found.
Nine.com.au contacted Queensland Department of Education for comment.

Unicorns, technology businesses worth over $1 billion (£670 million), must be "unique" or "special", according to Eric Schmidt, the executive chairman of Google's newly-formed parent company, Alphabet Inc.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4 today with Rohan Silva, a former policy advisor to Prime Minister David Cameron and the cofounder of the Second Home coworking space, the billionaire said: "The moment you've got a product that's better than somebody else it gets national or global promotion and that's what's leading to the rise of these new tech companies called unicorns, that are worth over a billion dollars.
"Each of them does something unique or special that seems to have a global footprint and solves a problem. I think what you're really seeing is the natural outgrowth of the internet."
Schmidt made the remarks after Silva asked him whether "the good will out" when it comes to technology startups in the 21st century because people can now share their experiences and spread the word about excellence.
Responding to Silva, Schmidt said: "I think it's different. It's more brutally competitive because we're all in a link now. You used to be able to build a product that would work very well in a particular city in the United States, or in England, or Australia, or wherever and you'd have a local following. But those local followings are pretty rare now."
Schmidt first met Silva, the pioneer of the government's Tech City initiative, in London in 2009. He met him again over a dinner at Google's Mountain View headquarters in California.
According to The Evening Standard, Silva sang the praises of London's Tech City to Schmidt at the dinner but he was "having none of it" to begin with.
Silva told the Standard: "Eric's first response was 'How about we buy the Olympic Park?', and the Google people in the room laughed nervously."
However, by the time Silva and then Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt walked out, Google had pledged to create Google Campus in East London and support the community's local incubators.

Six NYFW shows that brought the catwalk to the public
Sep 13, 2019 | By WGSN Insider
Feb 17, 2012
New York: Designer Fiona Cibani employed simple, sturdy silhouettes as a vehicle for textural exploration. Shimmering collarless coats, boxy tees and straight shifts featured metallic blocks of color, while firm wools gained dimension from placed panels of sheared mink. Structured short sleeve tops nipped in at the waist for a pleated peplum effect, or acted as a rigid top layer. Bottoms were more malleable — easy wide leg pants were cropped to the ankle and accordion pleats lent movement to silk knee-length skirts. A palette of teal and burnt pumpkin softened things with warmth and supplied additional richness. —Anna Jane Davis

In the Kitchen...Slow Cookers
1 comment:
I still am using the Farberware Country-Crocker-Cooker that my now husband gave me for Christmas when we were dating in the 70's. I was still living at home, not even out on my own yet. That is when I learned that if I said I liked something, I might end up with it. He got me a Coleman camp stove one year, too, and I still have it, as well. The crock pot is a bucket shape with a bail handle to carry it with a vegetable motif on the front and a heavy duty lift out crock. I also have a couple of Westbend crockpots - they are that rectangular style that could be set on a burner to brown meat before adding other ingredients. And like you, I also bought a small one on sale at Christmas a couple of years ago. I use it mainly for things like cooking dry beans or a few beets, etc.ReplyDelete

Tropical Muesli Bowls
Muesli. First, it's fun to say. It's basically the stuff fancy European kids were eating while we were all slamming gummy flavorless instant oats down our throats followed by a healthy swig of orange juice (from concentrate, duh). Remember when we, as a people, were OK with gummy flavorless instant oatmeal? It was the year 2000, I had a green Steve Irwin Crocodile Hunter backpack (RIP), George Bush seemed like the worst thing that could happen in terms of U.S. presidency and that was honestly fine, the tragedies of the first decade of the 21st century were still a moment away, climate change was still called global warming and no one thought it was real, and Y2K was just a big L-O-L. Well now it's 2018 and the world is a different place and ... wait this is a post about muesli. Back to muesli.
This stuff is delicious and I WISH I'd been eating it like those fancy European kids were. It's a hearty and filling oat-dried-fruit-and-seed combo that you can enjoy with your favorite cold or hot milk, or treat it like granola by putting it on top of some yogurt. This particular muesli comes from Bob's Red Mill and is filled with yas-worthy tropical things like dried mango and coconut. It's hearty but light, fruity but not too sweet, and honestly if you're not on board the muesli train yet what are you even doing.
Even though it's January 2nd of 2018 and this may look like you're standard New Years health kick post, it's not. We're not really ones to subscribe to the whole "new year new me" thing because we've pretty much learned that we're not really ever going to stop enjoying wine with friends or start going to the gym everyday and that's just that and we're pretty happy about it. But, we do try and keep our food pretty healthy January through November, so this is just time for us to jump back into our usual routine.
Tropical Muesli Bowl
makes 1
1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1 tablespoon raw sugar
1 tablespoon wild honey
1/2 cup full fat plain or vanilla Greek Yogurt
1/3 cup Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Tropical Muesli
1/3 cup shopped pineapple
Mint for garnish (optional)
Combine the raspberries, sugar, honey, and a tablespoon of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes until berries have softened and lost their shape. Remove from heat and let cool down a bit before using.
Assemble muesli bowls by starting with the yogurt, followed by the raspberry sauce, tropical muesli, and pineapple. Garnish with mint if using.
