This is a beautiful, revelatory book, opening up a world of Japanese architecture that has been little known in the West.
By taking us inside 25 modern houses across Japan, from fourstorey tower dwellings rising from minuscule urban plots to holiday homes threaded among pine groves, Naomi Pollock conveys the ingenuity - the sheer variety of solutions - of architects facing some decidedly 'challenging' sites. Their designs are full of wit, surprise and a sense of grace and serenity.
The context for Japanese design is unfamiliar. Typically there is none in the physical sense, since urban land values tend to dictate not only small plots but also a volatile pattern of renewal, in which an adjoining building may be torn down and replaced at any time as an obsolete product with just a 20-year life span. While zoning controls and building regulations - notably those ensuring adequate sunlight - shape density, there are no style police to placate. Architects have a relatively free rein and house design becomes a matter of protecting the privacy of family areas - sometimes an extended family - exploiting opportunities to bring light, air and greenery into the dwelling, and juggling personal space.
But these constraints have made the architecture. Even the inevitable uncertainty over what might happen next door can lead to inventive responses, such as the system of interchangeable external panels devised by Hiroyuki Arima for his UNS house in Tokyo, allowing outward views to be edited and the privacy of rooms and outdoor terraces to be safeguarded. In fact, the book is a veritable primer on creating enclosure and transparency.
In selecting materials for their domestic projects, Japanese architects are blessed by the country's relatively mild climate and by contractors who are ready to experiment. Alongside houses painstakingly composed in timber and steel are ones where the choice of materials is anything but conventional.
In electing to build the external walls of his Naked House from sacks of the white polyethylene noodles used to pack fruit, Shigeru Ban found exactly what he wanted in terms of light transmission and insulation, even if it meant transporting 500 sacks to site on the back seat of his car, then stapling them to the building's timber frame.
The ingenuity continues inside, with the spacious open volume playing host to rolling tatami boxes, each of which serves as a mini-room and private retreat.
A great strength of this book is that each group of houses is prefaced by an introduction which sets them against a background of tradition and social change in Japan, followed by a detailed description of each design which shows exactly how it evolved.
If there is one complaint, it has to be that there is no mention of the parallel universe presented by the Japanese houses of Ushida Findlay, singular creations which suggest a whole alternative direction yet to be pursued.

Governor Baker Urges Federal Government to Maintain Commitment to Paris Climate Agreement
BOSTON – Today, Governor Charlie Baker and Vermont Governor Phil Scott sent a letter to the Trump Administration urging them to continue the United States' commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement. The letter cites Massachusetts' and Vermont's ongoing nation-leading efforts to combat climate change and stresses the importance of leading on this issue to build a stronger and more resilient country.
"Our states, working individually and in multi-state efforts, have already made tremendous progress in reducing our carbon emissions," wrote Governors Baker and Scott in the letter. "We believe maintaining this commitment and the U.S. leadership on climate change is the right action for the protection of our children, grandchildren and future generations."
In the letter, Governors Baker and Scott detail the damage caused by the effects of climate change to the residents, infrastructure and economies of Massachusetts and Vermont. Citing their respective states' success in reducing greenhouse emissions while building more robust economies, Governor Baker and Governor Scott affirmed belief that the Unites States can reach its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in a way that benefits the whole country.
This letter reaffirms, and continues, the Baker-Polito Administration's commitment to prepare for and combat climate change. Last fall, Governor Baker signed Executive Order 569, which lays out a comprehensive approach to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard residents, municipalities and businesses from the impacts of climate change, and build a more resilient Commonwealth.
Last month, the Administration announced the Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program to provide funding to cities and towns to plan for climate change and resiliency efforts. Furthermore, the Commonwealth has already seen results from its efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions – as of 2014, emissions had decreased 21 percent from 1990 levels.

There are many developed clinical tests and examinations that may help in determining menopause. Most of these tests involve drawing a little blood from your veins and arteries. You could feel slight pain and discomfort as a result. In some cases, it could cause excessive bleeding. Infection is possible. Sometimes, though rarely, you could experience dizziness or could lose consciousness for some time. But, doctors take all necessary precautions before undertaking any of these tests.
Before going to the doctor in order to perform clinical tests, you may start from the readily available home self-test kits, which may be not so accurate and scientifically conclusive as tests in the frames of the medical institution, but they may offer you pretty good initial insight on your medical condition as well.
Types of Self-Tests Available
A number of self-tests are now being marketed to individual consumers. Most of these tests are inexpensive and easy to perform, and many offer surprisingly accurate results. The FDA has also approved many "at home" menopause test kits. It is important to keep in mind that menopause tests analyze different hormones in your body. Although each of these hormones plays an important role in your reproductive system, you should get a menopause test that you feel will provide you with the results you are most interested in. It is also suggested that tests are repeated on a regular basis in order to ensure the most accurate results possible.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone Tests (FSH Tests)
FSH levels and menopause are related. FSH tests measure levels of a hormone called follicle stimulating hormone that is present in your body. FSH is responsible for stimulating ovulation during your monthly cycle. FSH rises each month in order to encourage egg follicles to be released from the ovaries and travel through the fallopian tubes for fertilization. As FSH rises, levels of estrogen will drop. Once the egg has been released, your body recognizes the need to either prepare for pregnancy or produce a period, causing estrogen levels to rise and FSH levels to drop.
FSH tests can tell you if your FSH levels are particularly high. A high level of FSH may indicate that your body is trying to stimulate ovulation but isn't getting anywhere with it. This is generally one of the initial signs of menopause. Normal FSH levels are typically between 5 and 25 mlU/mL. An FSH test that tells you that your FSH levels are higher than 25 mlU/mL may indicate that you are entering perimenopause, the initial stage of menopause. If your FSH levels are higher than 50 mlU/mL, then you are in menopause.
Taking the Test
FSH self-tests are available as both urine and saliva tests and can be purchased online or at your pharmacy. Urine tests consist of a stick that you place in your urine stream and allow to process until it produces a result. Chemicals in the test device react with FSH and produce a color. Read the instructions with the test you buy to learn exactly what to look for in this test. Saliva tests involve you taking a sample of your saliva and sending it to a lab where it can be processed. Results are then mailed back to you.
Urine FSH tests are FDA approved and typically about 90% accurate. Saliva tests are not as accurate, and tend to be influenced by environmental stressors, including cigarette smoke, certain foods, hormone replacement therapy, or oral contraceptives. However, saliva tests can give you an excellent idea of whether or not you should pursue further menopause testing.
Both of these tests should be performed on particular dates of you cycle. It is important to read the directions on the test carefully. If you are no longer menstruating, you can perform the test at any time. A follow-up test should be performed 5 to 7 days after the first test. It is also helpful to conduct a baseline test before your body begins to be menopausal; a test around age 35 should be helpful in establishing your "normal" FSH levels.
Progesterone and Estradiol Tests
These tests measure levels of individual sex hormones in your body. Both progesterone and estradiol, a type of estrogen, play important roles in triggering reproductive functions. Low progesterone or estrogen levels may indicate the beginning of menopause.
These tests are typically saliva tests, though your doctor can also perform them using a blood sample. Hormone tests are available for order online at relatively low cost. Saliva tests may not be as accurate as a blood test, because they can only measure the amount of unbound or "free" estrogen or progesterone in the body. Your body also stores estrogen and progesterone by binding them to certain receptors, but only blood tests can measure levels of these bound hormones.
Like the FSH saliva test, this test is sent in to a laboratory and then results are mailed back to you. Normal estrogen levels usually measure between 30 and 400. Estrogen levels lower than 30 could indicate the onset of menopause.
Things to Remember
When taking a self-test for menopause it is important to remember that the results are merely an indication that you might be entering into a stage of menopause. The tests themselves cannot correctly determine if you are actually in menopause they merely measure levels of certain hormones. An abnormal hormone level may indicate menopause or it could be a symptom of another complication. All tests should be repeated on a fairly consistent basis, because hormone levels do fluctuate.
Do not use menopause tests as a form of birth control. Even if you test positive, you could still be ovulating and can still get pregnant. You should also discuss the results of your test with your health care provider. She may be able to use these test results along with evidence of any signs of menopause in order to make a diagnosis and prescribe an appropriate menopause treatment.
Some home menopause tests are identical to the one your doctor uses. However, doctors would not use this test by itself. Your doctor would use your medical history, physical exam, and other laboratory tests to get a more thorough assessment of your condition. Note that FSH test may produce highly variable results during the time when periods are irregular just before periods cease permanently. For example, a woman might skip 3 periods, and then have periods for a few months, and then skip several periods again. During this time of irregular periods the FSH level can fluctuate tremendously. Therefore, no matter what the received results are, you should visit your doctor to confirm your menopausal stage and to get observed in case of the extreme appearance of menopausal symptoms.

Happy Birthday from Disneyland
My mom and I went to Disneyland on her birthday. Admission to a single park is their gift to everyone on their birthday, you just have to sign up online before you go.
Despite its very irritating song, "It's a Small World" is a very pretty ride. It has recently been renovated and hey, my mom wanted to go on it!
Tom Sawyer's Island has always been a favorite of my mom. Our yearly family vacations were tent camping or backpacking in the Sierra. If we could have camped out here she would have been so happy!
I learned about this magical place here. I don't know the password, and I haven't been behind the door, but I love knowing it is a fabulous secret place! Visiting is on my bucket list!

The Best Peanut Butter Sandwich EverThis post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.
Substitution #3
Use organic, fresh peanut butter. By this I mean – get the kind of peanut butter you have to stir, where the ingredients are "Peanuts, Salt." Just because you have to stir it doesn't mean it won't taste good! Trader Joes has a great organic peanut butter that is super creamy and tastes great!
By the way – some people use "Better N Peanut Butter" – which has only 100 calories for 2 Tbsp. Personally, I don't like it – it doesn't taste like peanut butter at all! It tastes kind of weirdly sweet and has a different texture. I'd recommend sticking to the real stuff (natural, organic peanut butter) and just using a bit less of it!
Substitution/Addition #4
Add toppings. Now this is optional. If you don't like bananas or raisins or apples inside your PBJ, don't worry about it. Peanut butter + fresh fruit preserves/jam will still pack a nutritious punch. But if you do like toppings, leave out the jam and instead use: bananas and walnuts, bananas and raisins, raisins and apples, or any combination of nuts/fruits that you like! It'll turn out great.
Now for the proportions
You can make a healthy PBJ sandwich for only ~350 calories if you
1) Use 2 slices Double Fiber bread (140 cal)
2) Use 1 Tbsp peanut butter (100 cal). The key to only using 1 Tbsp peanut butter but having it still taste great is to toast the bread lightly so the peanut butter spreads easier across the bread (and you can get a thinner layer of peanut butter without sacrificing any flavor!)
3) Use 1-2 Tbsp jam (50-100 cal)
Spread peanut butter on both slices, jam on both slices and put them together. You can also eat it open faced – like toast with jam which is fun too 🙂 If you use toppings, then you can substitute the calories you'd use for the jam for the toppings and still keep it to 350-400 calories. With a high fiber bread, you could end up with 10-12 g fiber per sandwich too! Now that's the best PBJ sandwich ever. Let me know if these tips work for you!
8 responses to "The Best Peanut Butter Sandwich Ever"
I'm 34 and still a pb & j FIEND. I actually love to substitute beautiful, ripe, pears (sliced) or smashed blueberries for jam. When used in season, they are naturally sweet, and delicious with my Trader Joe's peanut butter, and between whole grain bread slices – I'll have to try that Orowheat bread!
My favorite:
One slice Natural Ovens Carb Conscious Bread (80 cal, 4g fiber, 6g protein/slice)…all vegan too!
Homemade Cashew Butter or Almond Butter
bionaturæ Organic Bilberry or Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry
Slices of kiwi or strawberry
Warmed up a bit in the oven
Yum 🙂
I love PB sandwiches! If you like white bread, use one by a natural company like Vermont Bread (they have 80-90 calorie per-slice white bread with no preservatives or HFCS) or TJ's shepherd's bread. I also love Alvarado Street Bakery's Essential Sprouted Flax Seed bread, which is only 50 calories a slice and full of protein, fiber, and vitamins! Tastes awesome toasted. TJ's also has light wheat bread at 45 calories a slice. A bit salty tasting though.
I agree on better'n'PB, it tastes predominately of tapioca starch, which is one of its primary ingredients. it's not unhealthy though, and makes a good ice cream topping when melted! TJ's valencia PB is my favorite.
the best jam/jellies are reduced sugar from TJ's, or Polaner All-Fruit with fiber, both around 35-45 calories per serving (9g I think? very reasonable. you don't need much jelly either.)
if you find a PB sandwich is too rich calorie-wise, just make a half! that way you can load up on the peanut butter instead of the bread. *laugh*

My First Original Recipe
This was yesterday's lunch. I hope you guys like it - my mom didn't care for it but I really enjoyed it. If anyone dares to try it, please be honest in your opinion :) I didn't realize how unattractive wild rice is in a picture, but it tasted good and added a wonderful nutty flavor to the dish. The dessert didn't exactly work out - it was OK, but I'd never post the recipe...yet. I am thinking about developing it into a mousse. And not just the common chocolate tofu mousse - cocoa coffee tofu mousse. All right, so it's not as fancy as I'm trying to make it sound. But I'm hopeful that it will turn out in one way or another.
This salad would be delicious on a salad mix, baby spinach or romaine leaves (pictured). I do recommend eating this salad with greens because it would be quite odd on its own. The bitterness of the balsamic vinegar dressing is balanced with the sweet nectarine. Serves one.
- 1 cup of cooked wild rice
- 1T olive oil
- 2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 tsp. poppyseeds
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
- cayenne pepper, to taste (I used just a dash)
- 1 nectarine
Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, poppyseeds, paprika, and cayenne pepper, if desired. It might take some effort to get the vinegar and oil to blend, but make sure that the color is homogenous. Pour the dressing over the rice and mix well. Slice the nectarine into bite-sized pieces and stir it into the rice. Serve over lettuce, etc. (see italics).

Anything but crazy paving: Dovedale's iconic stepping stones needed to be safer
Posted by Joanna Tweedy, MailOnline's travel editor
Look at the image above, taken on a drizzly day earlier this year in Dovedale, it sums up exactly why Derbyshire County Council is right to make the 'iconic' stepping stones there safer.
I risk the wrath of plenty by saying that the new concrete slabs, which have been placed on top of the old stones and offer easier passage across the River Dove, are a good idea...but really, they are.
Let me add a few words to describe what was happening off-camera in that photo. On a busy spring morning at this popular Peak District beauty spot, the River Dove was foaming with momentum and a party of schoolchildren had swelled the number of people waiting in the queue to cross.
Far from being the idyll described by Issak Walton in his book The Compleat Angler, it was filed in my memory as 'accident waiting to happen'.
Wobbling youngsters were brought back from the precipice by quick-moving parental arms. The dog in the snap, terrified by the uncertainty of the surface, leapt into the water half way across and then wouldn't move until hoisted back to dry land by their owner...who almost chopped legs off with the extending lead. Grannies took one look at the raging waters and pivoted, resisting the lovely walk that awaits on the other side in favour of dry feet.
More than a million people visit Dovedale every year and, in an ideal world, we'd all arrive clad in sturdy walking boots and waterproof kit. The reality is that a large proportion of those trying to cross are daytrippers wearing at best trainers and at worst platforms...(honestly, I saw them with my own eyes).
Those against the paving have been quick to file this as another 'elf and safety folly by an over-zealous council with more money than sense.
Phil Sargeant, a local walker angry at the makeover, points out: 'There's a footbridge nearby anyway so you don't have to use them if the river is in flood.' What he doesn't add is that the section of dale that the bridge crosses to has a steep incline, an uneven - at times missing - stone path. When the river is full, it's a route that also guarantees a soaking.
Mark Taylor, a founding member of a Facebook group set up in protest, has said: 'The special quality of the stepping stones is the stones themselves. Generations of walkers had polished and shaped them, making them a testament to the enduring popularity of Dovedale.'
There, in a few words, Mr Taylor has exactly described the problem. The equation is a simple one: limestone stones + years of 'polishing' + flowing water = a veritable banana skin! Slipping at speed into shallow water with boulders of all sizes beneath the surface is a hazard - there's no getting away from it.
How did the tourist cross the river? Safely. Isn't that all that really matters?

Alex Levin ~ His Jewish Painting Skills
A Jewish Painting Approach
Born in Kiev, Ukraine in 1975, Alex Levin was always destined for an artistic career. He now resides in Israel and is one of the nation's foremost Jewish Artists, admired by international figures such as Madonna, Oscar Peterson and Ezer Weizman.
Alex Levin's Jewish Painting Art using both surrealistic and realistic styles and is adept at using a variety of materials such as oil, acrylic, pencil and charcoal. As well as this, he is skilled at tempura and oil, a 16th century technique that uses no brushstrokes and which Alex is trying to preserve. His studies are never complete, however, and he is still developing his art, wishing to expand into other areas.
Jewish Painting ~ A way to communicate.
Alex specializes in Jewish Painting Art, inspired from his years spent living and painting in Israel. Taking images of city landscapes, home scenes and everyday objects, he places them lovingly onto the canvas where they will be stored forever throughout time in a work of fine art.
Through this, he hopes to pass on the traditions of the Jewish people as they have done for generations before. Alex Levin's final goal is to compile a collection of images that preserve the identity and culture of his people, ensuring that they will remain strong for centuries to come.
As well as this, Alex Levin has also created a collection of Jewish Painting Artworks based on one of the most well-known Venetian traditions: the mask.
Offering a very unique look at the city of Venice, these paintings provide you with an almost jovial sense of fun as you gaze upon this wondrous city through the eyes of a Venetian mask. Because of these paintings, Alex Levin gained a scholarship to study at the Venice Academy of Art where he was able to develop his skills and knowledge even further and go on to produce additional works of art for a world crying out for more of his creations.

Rewa was the Ngai Tāwake hapū of Ngāpuhi, the son of the Rangitira Te Maoi and his wife, Te Auparo.
His father and two of his brorthers were killed in 1807 at the battle of Moremonui between Ngāpuhi (northern regional tribes) and Ngāti Whatua ( Auckland regional tribes).
Not long after, Rewa's mother and sister, Te Karehu were also killed, in a Ngare Raumati attack on Waimate.
Rewa and his descendants later took the name of Te Patukeha (The Turnip Killing), to remember his mothers death in the garden.
Rewa had two wives, Te Koki, a cousin of the chief Tītore, and a second wife, brought back from battle, who committed suicide in 1823 after giving birth to a son.
Rewa's rank as a major chief became evident in his early association with Hongi Hika, who by 1815 was the undisputed senior leader of the Ngāpuhi hapū Ngai Tāwake and Ngāti Tautahi.
Rewa took part in the Ngāpuhi attacks on tribes in the south over a period of 10 years, from around 1818.
Koropiro Pā was the major gathering place for the departure of hundreds of warriors and laden canoes.
The spiral of war, trade and more war reached a peak in the mid 1820′s, as the tribes to the south engaged in efforts to equip themselve's with the new weaponry.
In 1823 -1824, Hongi's blind wife, Turikātuku, escorted Matire Toha, Rewa's daughter to Manukau harbour to marry Kati Takiwaru, younger brother to the Maori King, Te Potatau. The marriage was part of Ngāpuhi's peace making alliance with Waikato after the tribes defeat in the battle of Matakitaki in May 1822.
Both Matire Toha and Kati had been mission students at Kerikeri.
When Hongi shifted to Whangaroa in 1826, Rewa was recognized as one of the most powerful chiefs of the Northern alliance of Ngāpuhi and the Bay of Islands.
Rewa died on 1st September 1862, and is buried at Paripai urupa (cemetery) at Mataraua.

[Watch] Radiohead Perform A New Track "Staircase" 'Live From The Basement'
Radiohead gave the world a nice surprise this morning by posting their performance of a new song "Staircase" which is featured on their upcoming 'From The Basement' session which is set to air on BBC July 1st.
The band is set to perform their latest album The King of Limbs in its entirity during the Live From the Basement broadcast and by the sound of the new song "Staircase" will be performing them with their full electric sound as well getting some assistance from Phil Selway's doppelganger drummer, Clive Deamer. As Phil states, "Clive has long been one of my favourite drummers and so I was really excited when he agreed to perform with us. Hope you like what we've all done."
After hearing this new song, I know I'm pretty excited to check out the whole performance (which I also hope they play Supercollider and my favorite new tune The Butcher).

But an afternoon of productive and satisfying blogging could be much riskier than you thought.
Most people will be aware of the threat of hackers exploiting the lax security of free wireless networks to get at your private information. But your laptop could still be "leaking" data even if it's offline.
Researchers in the US discovered that side channel signals emitted by laptop computers, tablets and smartphones could be picked by various surveillance devices and used to capture passwords and other sensitive data.
In some cases, hackers would need to use sophisticated equipment such as a spectrum analyser, but in others these signals can be detected by a simple AM / FM radio.
"People are focused on security for the internet and on the wireless communication side, but we are concerned with what can be learned from your computer without it intentionally sending anything," Alenka Zajic, an associate professor at Georgia Tech who worked on the research project, explained. "Even if you have the internet connection disabled, you are still emanating information that somebody could use to attack your computer or smartphone."

Professor Zajic and his team noted a number of potential risks, including fake battery chargers that are in fact monitoring power fluctuations from your computer.
The aim of the study, which was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, was to identify security loopholes so that they can be closed before hackers start to exploit them.
"We are measuring computers and smartphones to identify the parts of the devices that leak the most," Professor Zajic said. "That information can guide efforts to redesign them, and on an architectural level, perhaps change the instructions in the software to change the device behaviour."
The researchers did not find evidence from within the hacker community that these techniques are currently being used, but ironically their work provides some useful ideas for anyone keen to change that. It's certainly enough to have you eyeing your fellow customers with suspicion the next time you need a proper flat white to inspire your writing.

How to verify that the currently installed drivers will support the robotic library connected to the server
When the device communicates properly with the operating system, it supplies an inquiry string to the operating system. In order for the device to work correctly with Backup Exec, the inquiry string that the device provides must match the inquiry string that is listed in the HCL.
Backup Exec will fail to recognize a robotic library and drivers will fail to load for the device if there is a mismatch between the device's Inquiry String and the Inquiry String Backup Exec is expecting for the device in the VSD load table.
bediag is run on the Backup Exec server, the following will show up in the device discovery portion of the
ADAMM log section (Figure 1). The Inquiry string for the device is circled in red.
Figure 1
The Device Discovery shows "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" because the device identifier string "SONY LIB-162" is not contained in the Backup Exec look-up table for robotic libraries, the VSD Load Table. Backup Exec gets this data for the library name from the media server registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine\hardware\scsi\devicemap.
The devices connected are also displayed in the
bediag in the Hardware Configuration Information section (Figure 2). The Inquiry String for the device is again circled in red.
Figure 2
The VSD Load Table is contained within the registry in the SCSICHANGER key located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control. This table determines what virtual driver will be loaded to control the library connected to the media server. The VSD Load Table supporting this library will look like Figure 3.
Figure 3
Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows Registry Editor can have disastrous results on a server operating system. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows Registry. Registry modifications should only be carried out by persons experienced in the use of the Registry Editor application.
Note: For this library to be discovered in Backup Exec, the syntax of the identifier shown in the registry must exactly match what is in the VSDLoadtable.
Some libraries and tape drives can emulate different strings. Users can change the primary inquiry string to make it detect a different model than what is installed. However, changing the library string may change the behavior of the library.

Breed: Thoroughbred
DOB: January 23, 2010
Sired By: Read The Footnotes
Out of: Dubaian Duel
Height: 16.1
Sam is my newest prospect. I recently purchased her from Michael Blake of Ascot Stud. We are currently entered and accepted into the 2017 RRP Thoroughbred Makeover. As well we will be starting to get out competing in the spring.
Rock The Casbah AKA Buddy (LEASED OUT)
Breed: Thoroughbred (reg pending)
DOB: April 1st, 2011
Sired By: Bob and John
Out of: On My Radar
Height: currently 15h
Buddy is my newest special edition, I purchased him in June from Need You Now Equine. He was still a colt and it was a very abrupt decision. He originated from the infamous Hooman Akbary who built a breeding business in Ontario and then due to financial debt, abandoned the farm. Buddy went through 3 auctions where he was bought, attempted to be flipped for profit, and returned to another auction. I am very thankful for the watchful folks from Second Start Thoroughbreds who tried to keep tabs on all of the horses in attempts to keep their bloodlines straight. I am excited for Buddy's future, I have recently backed him and he is proving to be an honest, willing little horses! I look forward to eventing with him and building our partnership.
Breed: Reg Thoroughbred
DOB: April 25, 1995
Sired By: Ascot Knight
Out of: Duchess of Rawdon
Height: 16.1hh
Vicbrenan started her life as a racehorse, like many Thoroughbreds. She was sired by Ascot Knight, one of Canada's leading Thoroughbred racehorse sires. She was retired after a short career winning her initial first couple races. She was bred to a number of leading sires during her time as a broodmare. I came across her while training for her breeder in attempts to sell of his stock since he was getting out of racing. We had an instant connect. I knew I had to purchase this horse. And she proved to be a good purchase. Like many Ascot Knight offspring she was blessed with the quirky and arrogant attitude which can be difficult. But also this attitude can come in handy, Vic is a very special horse who does not say no to a challenge, and does not have it in her heart to refuse a jump. We have enjoyed several years together hunting, doing dressage and eventing. We did as many lesson with Eddo Hoestra as time would allow, we also have participated in clinics with Olympic Eventing Team member Gary Roque, and Classical Dressage Master Walter Zettl. Both who had nothing but praise and compliments as to what a great horse Vic is.
Breed: Reg ThoroughbredDOB: March 25, 2005
Sired By: Whiskey Wisdom
Out Of: Vicbrenan
My lovely daughter of Vicbrenan came off the track with an unfortunate accident which left her with a large coffin bone chip. She is dressage/pleasure sound, but not suitable for eventing. She has been leased out for the 2014-1015 breeding season and was the only mare on the farm to catch! I am very excited to see her 2015 foal to the KWPN stallion Magnifiek!

Portable Thunderbird is the popular Mozilla Thunderbird email program packaged as a cross-platform portable app, so you can take your email, drafts, cache, newsgroups, and saved passwords with you. It works on both Macs and PCs.
How It Works
Cross-platform Portable Thunderbird works by using John Haller's excellent Portable Thunderbird 1.5 on the Windows side of things, and a little script he made on the Mac side of things. The script basically changes your user profile every time you start Thunderbird so that it works on Mac and PC. The reason why is simple: as I am sure some of you have figured out, Windows Thunderbird profiles are not completely compatible with Mac Thunderbird, only certian files. So he made a script that keeps compatibility between Mac and PC, time consuming, I know, but it works.

It always seems we want what we cannot have. Those who are born with the luxury of being able to live on chocolate and never gain fat whilst others can merely look at a dumbbell and gain 5lbs of muscle. The thing is though; they often have opposing appetites meaning the guys who need to eat more to gain weight don't want the food and the ones who pack on fat overnight dream about the stuff. If ever there was an example of sod's law this is it. Time and time again we come across young lads who need to develop the appetite of a starved lion to gain any kind of size yet their eating habits resemble something more like a 12 year old boy. The trick is then to help people in this predicament get in extra calories from quality sources without having to gorge down tonnes and tonnes of food because clearly that is going to grate on their resilience pretty quickly!
Below are 3 ways to increase your calorie intake with ease. Hard gainers, listen up!!
1 – Fats
Fats have many vital roles within the body one of which is supporting testosterone production. If you are chasing muscle mass then adding plenty of fats to your diet is a good idea. They are also very calorie dense, at 9 calories per gram (over double that of protein and carbs!!). Adding almond butter, cashew butter, parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, organic butter and organic double cream are all easy ways to increase calorie intake AND add a LOT of flavour to your diet. Creamy coffees, cheesy meat dishes and buttery scrambled are all options now!
Why the emphasis on ''organic'' with the butter and cream? Glad you asked. Organic isn't always necessary however with butter and cream in particular we find that the fat in non-organic alternatives are loaded with toxins (toxins live in fat). With that said we always go organic in these cases.
2 – Post-Training Hunger
You have to take advantage of windows of opportunity and usually within an hour of having a hard lifting session your appetite is firing! With that said for you guys who struggle to gain weight we want to get the calories into you! We are talking a lower fat HIGH carb and protein feeding frenzy!! Don't go silly, but a big bowl of oats berries with whey protein for dessert after a chicken and basmati rice stir fry wouldn't be frowned upon!! Even some frozen yogurt to help it all go down would be fine. Get the point?
3 – MRPs
If appetite isn't your strong point and neither is gaining weight then meal replacement shakes will be your friend! Our most highly recommended product in this category for you would be PhD Growth Factor Mass!
There is no excuse, where there is a will there is a way. It so happens these 3 tips above are very easy to implement! Eat to grow muscle!

PEW PEW PEW! Star Wars makes more money than life.
So the new Star Wars movie hit cinemas this weekend to the sound of a thousand nerd boners exploding all at once. The good news for us is that everyone really loves JJ Abrams reinvention of the saga, which is all fine and well but pushes Alias fans further towards the crushing reality that a reunion is increasingly unlikely.
And the good news for JJ Abrams' wallet is that Star Wars: The Force Awakens made more in one weekend than the GDP of Dominica. Globally the flick shattered records and grossed $528.9 Million (sound of frustrated Disney executives wishing for an extra $1.1 Million), of which a record-smashing $247.9 Million came from North America. It also nailed a bunch of other records to the wall which you can read here. And with the Holiday period ahead, expect violent battles for Star Wars toys to be making the headlines as this movie continues to serve DOLLA REALNESS to the movie industry.
A few months ago Jurrasic World shocked everyone by making insane amounts of money and Star Wars was always the only likely contender for those records..
Elsewhere in the box office charts, Sisters debuted to a solid $13.9 Million, priming the well-recieved comedy for a long run over the festive period. An end total north of $70 Million is likely.
Oddly, despite shedding 1,000 engagements and many IMAX showings, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 had the best top 10 drop of the weekend in the face of Star Wars which is probably good news given the film now trails part one by $35 million. Still, the movie stands a chance of outgrossing Part One in global gross, ensuring the one-two hit serves up a total global grossing of $1.5 Billion, so I'm guessing the widely unpopular decision to split the third chapter in two isn't so unpopular at Lionsgate HQ. Thanks for the Christmas hookers, sucker audiences!
