Conflict of Interest
One of the first things a divorce attorney may ask for is your spouse's identity. He does this to verify that your spouse hasn't already consulted him. If he has, he'll politely tell you that he can't speak with you further. Likewise, if your spouse comes to him for a consultation after you've already hired him, the attorney will decline to speak with him. Attorneys are not allowed to represent both spouses in a divorce except in very limited circumstances that involve both spouses' written consent. And even then, most attorneys decline to do so. It should help you feel more secure in your relationship with your attorney to know that his loyalty is to you alone; your spouse, no matter how persuasive, can do nothing to disturb that loyalty.
Confidentiality Agreement
Attorney-client privilege starts when you sign a retainer agreement hiring an attorney, and lasts indefinitely. With few exceptions, your divorce attorney is legally required to keep your information confidential. He can't repeat to anyone what you've told him in the course of your case unless you discuss it first. The privilege covers the attorney's staff, so you may discuss private matters in front of them without waiving the privilege. An exception to this rule is if you sue the attorney for malpractice, your attorney can testify against you and discuss otherwise privileged information while on the stand. He also can turn you over to the authorities if you threaten to kill or seriously hurt someone. Some states, such as California, also allow attorneys to turn you in if you seek their help to commit fraud.
Zealous Representation
Your divorce attorney has responsibility to represent you zealously, which means he must do everything within his power, within the bounds of ethics and the law, to represent your case and work toward your desired outcome. This, however, doesn't mean crushing your spouse or employing unlawful means to get information to use against him.
Open Communication
Your lawyer has a responsibility to communicate with you through the various phases of your divorce. Some attorneys fulfill this responsibility by sending you copies of all documents filed on your behalf and received from your spouses attorney that have been filed on his behalf. Your attorney also must present to you any offers of settlement that he considers reasonable, so that you may make the final decision of acceptance or rejection.
Financial Responsibilities
All attorneys, no matter their area of practice, cannot charge exorbitant fees. Exorbitant is decided within the context of the type of law involved and the complexity of the case. In addition, the attorney's fee structure must be clearly defined and should be presented to you in writing. This is usually taken care of in the compensation section of the attorney retainer agreement. A divorce attorney specifically is bound by an additional requirement. In family law cases, he may not require or agree to a contingency fee arrangement, where payment of his fee requires he first secure your divorce, or some specific outcome in the divorce settlement.

Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Anushka Sharma, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala, Sonam Kapoor, Dia Mirza
Director: Rajkumar Hirani
Rating: ✬✬✬✰✰
The minute we left the cinema hall, we knew this is going to be a tough one to review. Not because our take on this 2 hour 41 minute ode to a loyal pal is starkly different to most reviews, but because it was heartbreaking to witness the indulgent slippages from one of the finest directors of our generation. With a subject this controversial and intriguing, one hopes the director & writer wouldn't go soft on its subject. Sadly, they do. The semi-propagandist PR exercise is an expensive but interesting case study to understand how to pivot public sentiment within 161 minutes. Rajkumar Hirani takes crafty liberties with documented facts and seems to whitewash Dutt's alleged wrongdoings and indiscretions.
Drugs, alcohol, unprofessionalism, women, guns, goons — let's be honest here, we are talking about an entitled man-child riddled with deep-rooted issues, who got away with greater leniency than what an average Joe with charges could have dreamt of. Sanjay Dutt, son of thespians Nargis and Sunil Dutt, was imprisoned twice because of his alleged involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts. The screenplay oscillates between a diluted narrative of factual events to strangely dismissing his misdeeds with forgiving laughs and a weird hope to make the viewer sympathise with a troubled Dutt. The rationale for every misdeed is passed on to anyone, but Dutt himself. Because, you know, Baba was a victim of circumstances. "It was the drug supplier, not me!", "I only got the gun for my father's safety, not to use it for attack", "Kamlesh's girlfriend lured me, I did nothing!"
What one does admire is Hirani and Abhijat Joshi's astute writing sprinkled with critical details that lend to the layered screenplay. Be it a fleeting shot of the scar on the bald man whose identity is shown much later in the movie, or the uncanny characteristics of the politician Kapoor pays a visit to circumvent the justice system – the powerful & trademark Hirani touch is palpable. What they attack rather well is their take on the big bad wolf – The Indian Media. Filmmakers are as dependent, if not more, on media houses and their heavily doctored digital platforms. Hence, for a leading filmmaker to address their mode of manufacture and desperate dependence on scintillating headlines is brave, and refreshing. In the same breath, one does end up rolling their eyes if the writers were solely trying to pass the blame on 'fake news' for his incarceration.
But there are big successes achieved by the gentlemen of this movie: Ranbir Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, and Vicky Kaushal. Their craft, research, and nuances are the core reason why this production deserves a ticketed watch on the big-screen, rather than a bum-on-couch TV release. The ladies in the movie, barring Manisha Koirala (please come back full-time?), add more to the star-power but little to the textural storytelling. Sadly, they don't represent Priya Dutt's in-reality brazen & opinionated personality. Forget a deep-dive, even the superficial investigation of her character is virtually marginal. But we suppose, showing strained relations with the underworld is more exciting than strained relations between siblings.
Ranbir Kapoor slips into the complex skin of the troubled man in a manner so effective, that in most frames you can barely tell the difference. His stooped posture, his swagger-laced walk, his arm-across-arm stand, his dialogue delivery — this may be Kapoor's finest attempt at a researched role. For once, there are no Ranbir-isms in Ranbir's often formulaic performances. Look past the continually changing physical transformation, he immerses himself into Dutt's being with gusto, intensity and outstanding results. The dips in the performance are in the first half, where the build up to the famous Dutt persona are shown in a strangely comical format, with background music that fit better in movies like PK and Munna Bhai. Many scenes are constituted to provide excuses for Dutt's irresponsible actions and then subtly coerce the audience to feel sorry for his supposed cutesy but-he-means-no-harm image. No, you didn't project an untrue story, but you portrayed convenient half-truths.
Vicky Kaushal (read more about him here) is someone not just to look out for, but look forward to. Movie after movie, he displays versatility in his author-backed roles. Jim Sarbh gives out another cracker of a performance. Paresh Rawal's craft needs little to no explanation, and this performance is no exception. He portrays Dutt Saab in such pious honesty, that you look forward to his scenes as much as Kapoor's.
Every story has two sides and Dutt's culpability is and always will be up for debate. To call this a biopic would be a severe disservice to the very meaning of that word – the celluloid beacon of truth. Rajkumar Hirani, however, took the prerogative to take a side. And that side is Sanjay Dutt's, something that isn't necessarily the real picture. You know the irony of this movie? This so-called biopic has huge sections which are just as manufactured as the news naughtily fabricated by the media that they condemn throughout the movie. Take the 'biopic' out of the description, and you have a rather entertaining potboiler, a must-watch even, for its screenplay and acting.
Maybe there is one other good thing about this movie. Someone finally stood up for one of their own, in an industry that usually doesn't believe in supporting someone in trouble, publically at least.

How I Got Into Stanford…I Think
This is the age-old question that I ask myself and constantly gets asked of me. I would like to believe that it was my strategic foresight, research and leadership experiences, and all of my ambition. And while that may be part of the story–a large part–it it still far from complete. When I originally wrote this post, I started by listing all of my accomplishments, things I had done, started, and won. The ways I had forged this path ahead of myself on my own. Upon reflection, I think it could be more useful to emphasize a different perspective; a maxim I learned from my improv class, "Dare to be Average."
Disclaimer: this post is not a short-cut substitute, or alternative for hard work. It does not contain mystical wisdom about the admissions process or the formula for the perfect introductory email. These are my compiled mistakes, blunders, and near-regrets that also contributed to me getting where I am today–a Ph.D. Candidate at Stanford University in Mechanical Engineering. I won't, however, make you wait too long for the answer to the post title's question. I got into Stanford…I think because of Continue reading

Q&A with Raylene
Hi there...
Those of you who follow me know that I do "Q&A" sessions where you submit a question to me and I answer it on YouTube with the help of my Guides. I open this to the public about once a month, and collect these questions in advance and then answer them during a single channeling session. Barring any technical issues, a recording of this cumulative Q&A session will then be posted to YouTube. My regular timeline target for each new Q&A YouTube posting is approximately once a month, by mid-month.
The cost per question is $7 and obviously I can only handle a limited number of questions during this monthly session, so it sells out fast.
If you are interested, follow these instructions below carefully so your Question doesn't get cancelled.
IMPORTANT : You must submit your question via PayPal to me when you pay for it. If you don't submit your question via PayPal, OR if you email me the question afterwards, I will automatically refund your payment.
I am sorry due to the volume of demand, I can't maintain a waitlist for Q&A. I encourage you to book a regular 1:1 private session with me (see Book a Session tab on this website) if this Q&A schedule and structure does not work for you.
Limit of two questions per person per Q&A session.
Your question needs to be short and to the point and specific.
Be sure to include your first name in PayPal so I can call it out when I answer it and make it easier for you to find.
I will not respond to Government or political questions.
I reserve the right to issue you a refund for any reason.

While I work on tweaking the design of the site, I though I'd just write a quick opinion piece. I've been experimenting with a variety of libraries lately to see what's out there on the web. One bit of internet goodness I've been using a lot is Prototype, the JavaScript library made popular by Ruby on Rails and the AJAX boom several months ago. Prototype touts itself as:
a JavaScript framework that aims to ease development of dynamic web applications. Featuring a unique, easy-to-use toolkit for class-driven development and the nicest Ajax library around, Prototype is quickly becoming the codebase of choice for web application developers everywhere
But AJAX is far from the only thing that Prototype has going for it. It also provides a list of useful functions, the simplest (and my favorite) being the $() function to replace the document.getEementById() function - my keyboard is much happier! The downside is in the documentation. The doumentation is very lacking, almost non-existant, which is very annoying, but there are sites such as script.aculo.us that are picking up the slack and providing some informed documentation. A quick google search will also reveal a lot of working examples you can learn from as well.
Aside from what it has to offer, I was impressed by it's ease of use and simplicity while working on a recent idea. At work, we were starting to use paper and pens to track the time we were spending on each project. As a growing company, we need to know this information so that we can better adjust our quotes and estimates, but the time spent writing and tracking the information became tedious after only one week. thinking about it on my commute home from work one day I had a better idea. Enter Prototype and a JavaScript app.
Starting from a quick sketch, I was able to create a working app using an XHTML/Prototype user interface and PHP server side base, in less than an hour. It relied on 100% AJAX communication but it was for my personal use anyways so it didn't matter. Quick, fast, simple, clean code and anything else I could ask for. Now tracking time is as simple as typing in a task and hitting go. No more fumbling with paper and pens.

 If you haven't tried prototype yet I highly suggest you do. You'll be up and running in minutes!

DICKSON, J. Vernon 1924
Posted By: Tammy (email)

Obituary of J. Vernon Dickson
J. Vernon, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett H. Dickson, of Dysart, Iowa, was born May 13th, 1924, and died on May 16th, 1924, at the home of the parents of Mr. Dickson, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Dickson, of Grundy Center, Iowa. His fleeting life of only three days was all too brief to satisfy his parents' love for him. God overruled the human desire to keep him and took the little spirit to be with Him from Whom he came. He was the object of much love while he tarried here and the little body was tenderly committed to its resting place in the faith that He who separates the infant from its mother's arms will tenderly in a better world restore them to each other. The funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon, May 17th, 1924, conducted by the Rev. Earl Wm. Benbow, of the First Presbyterian church, and interment was made in the city cemetery of Grundy Center.

text: Brexit 26 June 2019 What would Parliament do if faced with a PM determined to leave the EU? Backers of the two Tory leadership hopefuls have divergent theories about how MPs would act. NSSign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. What will Parliament do when faced with a Prime Minister who is determined to leave the European Union, whether with or without a deal? That's the question that really divides supporters of Jeremy Hunt and Boris Johnson. The Hunt school of thought is that Parliament will thwart a no deal Brexit and pursuing one means an early election before Brexit is resolved and the defeat of the Conservative Party, which would lose votes to the Brexit party and the Liberal Democrats, and seats to practically everybody. The problem with Hunt's thesis is while it may be true, it's not clear when this Parliament will ever voluntarily leave the European Union. Privately, there are enough Labour MPs who want a deal for it to pass but it is far from certain that they will ever actually vote for it. That means an election with Brexit unresolved - but at the end of the parliament rather than the summer, what one Cabinet ally of Johnson dubs the "death by a thousand cuts" option. So what about Johnson's approach? The Johnson school of thought is that when push comes to shove, Parliament will never take decisive action to stop no deal. And the thing is, the Johnson thesis isn't necessarily wrong. It's important to understand that it wasn't Parliament which stopped no deal in March. It was Theresa May. By the time the backbench alliance of MPs had found a mechanism to seek a delay and watered it down enough to reassure nervous Labour rebels, time had, actually, run out. May had already sought an extension and there was no provision in the Cooper Bill to deal with a Prime Minister requesting an extension of a minute's length or otherwise following the letter but not the spirit of the law. That's not because Yvette Cooper and Co weren't alive to the possibility, but because when they tried to pass something with teeth it couldn't find a majority. Those same Labour MPs who Hunt can't quite rely on to pass a deal also can't necessarily be relied upon to stop no deal - or, at least, to accurately judge when the eleventh hour actually is. They miscalculated in March and were rescued by a sympathetic Prime Minister, and not enough of them seem to have understood that. The same dynamic played itself out with Jeremy Corbyn's recent attempt to take no deal off the table. There's a real possibility that Johnson's gamble will come off for him. But what if Parliament gets its act together and moves to enforce an automatic delay in the event of no deal? Then we're in election territory. And Hunt's problem is that he cannot convincingly say he can resolve Brexit this side of election and has just two weeks to convince Conservative members that he, not Johnson, is the better bet for a pre-Brexit election that, whether it comes this year or in 2022, may be inevitable. › Australia's property bubble shows the lessons of the 2008 crash haven't been learned Stephen Bush is political editor of the New Statesman.

French Camp, CA A scam using a pre-paid card that works like cash is going around San Joaquin County. The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office has received a number of calls from consumers who have been targeted by the scam.
Green Dot MoneyPak cards have a legitimate use, but crooks are asking people to buy them, load them up with money and then give the thieves the 14 digit number to the card, so they can drain it.
The scam works in many ways, including phone calls implying that consumers have a warrant for their arrest or someone posing as a Deputy Sheriff collecting bail that must be paid immediately. But it can also come in the form of a phone call promising a winning sweepstakes and in order to claim the prize, money must be added to the card.
The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office has this advice to avoid being scammed:
• Be suspicious of callers who demand immediate payment for any reason.
• Remember that anyone who has the number on a Green Dot MoneyPak card has access to the funds on the card.
• Never give out personal or financial information to anyone who emails or calls you unsolicited.
• Never wire money, provide debit or credit card numbers or Green Dot MoneyPak card numbers to someone you do not know.
• Utility companies and government agencies will not contact you demanding immediate payment via MoneyPak.
If you have been a victim of one of these scams or need any additional information contact your local law enforcement agency or visit the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division website oag.ca.gov/consumer.

Financing options
If you are planning on buying this house there are a couple of property development finance choices you should know about.
Banks don't offer mortgage finance for properties. The process of obtaining a loan can be very hard. Documents, such as pay slips, identification, financial statements and more, are required, which are the reasons why people don't look up to banks anymore.
Most people decide to use a mortgage loan to raise funds to finance their new property. Getting long fixed rates at the moment can be expensive, not to mention that it also is a long process. With low interest rates currently shorter fixed terms often work the best for new owners. You need to watch out for early redemption penalties, you may need a commercial cash out refinance, as you will probably want to remortgage on to another fixed rate when the standard variable rate changes.

text: ATO Corporate Perceptions Survey 2016–17 annual report The ATO Corporate Perceptions Survey provides a community measure of our reputation and service delivery performance. It also captures broad community perceptions that affect willing participation in the tax and super system. We have been conducting the survey since 2014. We use a single set of measures, including 11 ATO service commitments, across a broad range of taxpayer markets and interaction types. The survey provides us with validated and reliable community perceptions for planning and reporting purposes. It also provides a sophisticated understanding of community views, so we can improve the way we interact with our clients. The survey is one of many ongoing measurement activities we use to improve the client experience, consistent with our commitments in the Taxpayers' Charter. In 2016–17 our approach to reporting changed to be based on financial year, instead of calendar year. Survey participation The 2016–17 Corporate Perceptions research involved a telephone survey of 3,956 respondents. Fieldwork was conducted from 11 August 2016 to 27 July 2017 and covered client interactions that occurred during the 2016–17 financial year. Clients who had a recent service experience with the ATO, the wider Australian general public and business communities were surveyed. Five point scales were used throughout the survey. Key findings Overall satisfaction with the ATO's performance, across all customer groups and channels combined, was 75%. Small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) were the most satisfied group and tax agents were the least satisfied. Likewise, clients were most satisfied with the shopfront channel and least satisfied with the ATO website, ATO app and correspondence channels. At least seven in ten clients rated the ATO favourably on nine of the 11 ATO service commitments. The ATO's service was viewed most favourably for the ATO and its staff treating the client respectfully and courteously, and informing the client of what they need to do. The least favourably rated service commitments related to follow up (keeping the client informed about status / delays / issues) and the ATO would be responsive to feedback. How the research has been used These findings contribute to the Reinventing the ATO Blueprint, which focuses on changing how we operate to meet the needs and expectations of the community, while delivering on our commitments to government and the community.

Slow Food Hobart Tour de Tasman
Posted by tastetravel in Uncategorized on April 20, 2014
Now we are living in Tasmania permanently we have finally had a chance (last month) to join the Slow Food Hobart Convivium on a field trip – it was to the southern region known as the Forestier Peninsula. John and I have been members for many years and in Brisbane where I was a co-founder of Slow Food. Some encouragement was offered by Australian food legend Maggie Beer. Maggie said to me that I should start-up a Slow Food Convivium when I complained we did not have a branch in Queensland.
Here are some photos of the day that began at 9am on a chartered bus from Hobart with about 48 other people. A special tour guide assisted with a commentary on what to expect, how to behave and generally took us to task if our Tasmanian history was rusty. At first when I spotted our guide I was concerned that we would slip back into our 'ten year old' attention deficit personalities but our chef who was moonlighting from his 'real' job as a member of the Blue Cow Theatre Group kept our attention.
First stop was the Bream Creek Farmers Market where we all dispersed and bought up big, the bus opening its luggage compartment to fit in the produce. Once tasted we had to have a bottle of Honk mustard.
Sea Eagle Seafoods had good array of seafood products, but we could not buy this day as we did not have our ice packs with us but these products are available elsewhere.
Then it was on to the picturesque Marion Bay to visit the Daly family potato farm. Tasmanians are leaders in potato growing and this large farm and its processing shed made potatoes more interesting than usual.
Back at the market, we could not resist the Tasmanian grown walnuts.
A pie maker – these pasties were beautiful but knowing we had a special lunch ahead we decided on one of their pork pies for later consumption.
We then headed off to the historic property Bangor. Its owner Matt Dunbabin greeted us at the relatively new vineyard he has put in and our surprise treat was that his friend and fellow farmer Tom Gray who has oyster lease No 170 nearby brought oysters to eat in the vineyard. In the near future a tasting room will be built here and both Tom's oysters and Matt's wine will be on offer in the same location.
Matt hopped into the bus with us and as we drove around his large farm he gave us some information on the long history of Bangor. He selected a place to stop on his property just by the water and we had our lunch. A special picnic lunch made for us by the Dunalley Primary P & F along with local producers; Little Quoin and Eloise Emmett. Little Quoin and Eloise Emmett .
Lots of cool climate wines were generously poured and we tucked into quiches, heirloom tomatoes, potato salad, baked ham and salmon, followed by summer puddings and the best Tasmanian creams, thick and clotted.
By now you should be wishing you were there. Should you wish to join SF Hobart here is the contact: email@example.com

Melville Street Market at last
Posted by tastetravel in Artisanal, Australia, Tasmanian food and wine on December 10, 2012
We made it to the Melville Street Market in Hobart this past weekend. We live some four hours drive away so it is not possible to drop in each Sunday and since we had a special party to attend in Hobart on Saturday evening we decided to get up early on Sunday to visit the market and still head back in good time to the Bay of Fires. The market is held on Sunday mornings each week and very well patronised so I had to get used to queuing. Even though many Hobart residents are used to visiting the Salamanca Market on Saturdays to buy fruit, vegetables and comestibles this market is still filling a vital need for people to buy high quality food and plants from Tasmanian growers and makers.
It is a Farmers Market people, you must bring your own stylish shopping bag, French market bags, recycle bags or buy one from the market organisers, as plastic bags are a no no here. A couple more rules to follow and you will be set so leave your dog on a leash outside the entrance and there is no smoking allowed and the best rule of all is that as a stall holder, you must grow, pick, raise, produce, or extract within the geographical Tasmanian boundaries.
After we left the market we headed for a petrol station to buy a bag of ice to keep our fresh food cool.
We did not buy the peonies as they would droop on a long drive on a sunny day.
Tasmanian walnuts in Date Nut Loaf
Posted by tastetravel in Recipes, Tasmanian food and wine on December 4, 2012
Tasmania produces fresh large walnuts so I looked for my old cylindrical Willow brand tins I had found years ago in a charity shop and looked for some recipes. The tins are different designs although both Willow brand. This one is easier to fill but harder to clean.
The tricky tin, I defy anyone else to fill it with one hand whilst holding it upright with the other hand, unless someone is around to help it just falls apart. I doubt a 'patent pending' ever became legal for this tin design.
Looks OK when closed. My grandmother made these regularly and I recall they always made an appearance on the 'take a plate' morning and afternoon teas back in the fifties and sixties.
You simply must slather the round thick slices with cold butter as it is not called a loaf for nothing. If you don't eat butter at all don't bother to make it.
I consulted all the old-fashioned community recipe books in my possession and they all have the same measurements for ingredients and tin size which is doubly perplexing because they all say, 'use two cylindrical round tins'. They are all misleading – the ingredient measurements are wrong. The mixture quantity they give is not enough for two of the traditional tins, therefore I doubled the recipe and since I could not manage the second round tin that kept falling apart, without a helper I used a conventional loaf tin. You can see that by doubling the mix I would have had a little left over if I had used the two round tins.
The walnuts are Tasmanian, fresh and whole, not like the supermarket ones that are all broken into bits, and if you add up the cost of those small packets the price exceeds the health food price where I get these fresh Tasmanian nuts. No one is growing dates in Tasmania to my knowledge so I could not boast it is entirely Tasmanian.
Preheat oven to 180c
If you use fan forced then turn the oven down to 170 degrees C.
1 cup dates, chopped
1 tsp Quatre Epices, four spice blend (this is my little improvement)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup sultanas
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon bi-carb soda
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup boiling water
2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
Place dates, walnuts, sultanas, sugar, bi-carb and butter in a bowl.
Pour one cup of boiling water over contents of bowl.
Mix well, then add flour, salt and beaten egg.
Mix only till well blended.
Placed in two greased round nut loaf tins, replace top caps and stand upright in oven (or place all mixture in greased loaf tin).
Bake in moderate oven for 50-60 minutes.
Here is my printer friendly Date and Nut Loaf recipe
Bicheno Food and Wine Festival 2012
Posted by tastetravel in Tasmania, Tasmanian food and wine on November 18, 2012
The food and wine festival in the Tasmanian east coast town of Bicheno is still young but since last year has had a growth spurt. This year we hoped for a better layout and more seating and we were not disappointed.
These cheeky boys were having some fun. Maybe this young man was on a dare or a stag day. Not sure about the black fish net gloves, but love the beading. He was not carrying a wedding bouquet but a baby doll in a pink car seat.
Cooking class in progress. Lots of food for snacking, some really good, some lacking in appeal, we were with three other people so we looked for some dishes we could share. Some priced too high, others fairly priced. There were food operators new to the scene whilst the wine producers were seasoned and priced wine consistently. One stall's fare disappointed us so much that we returned the dish (a pizza) and they immediately refunded our money ($30) no questions asked. Not the price which was exorbitant for the diameter of the pizza but because it was not cooked well enough.
Over at the craft hall natural dyes and knitted mittens, gloves and toys. Even Shane Gould a Bicheno resident and fine art graduate had a stand with her photographs. Knut the jeweller from St Helens Spiral Creations exhibited his take on the popular Tassie devil and Tree of Life jewellery. The art and craft shed was across the road, we felt for the exhibitors, not very connected and many would not make the effort to leave the vibrant atmosphere of the food and wine festival to visit it.
Michelle of Spiral Creations in the background.
Quilt is being raffled for the Bicheno Mens Shed.
Children were not forgotten, the ubiquitous yet always popular face painting.
Donna of Leavenbank Bread in St Helens teamed up with Kelly who was selling the Red Cow Dairies fetta cheese. Love the way you can return the empty jars for a refund like the soft drink bottles in South Australia. They offered a tasting plate of cheese, pate and sour dough bread for $12. Ideal for sharing.
The art and craft shed was across the road in the school hall and annoyingly, we felt for the exhibitors, not very connected and many would not make the effort to leave the joy de vivre of the food and wine festival to visit it.
We are lucky to have this bread in St Helens but it is only baked once a week now as Donna is studying for a degree.
An exhibition of surf boards from the last century lined the adjacent tennis court.
The crowds seemed happy to stay at this festival as everything was close to hand, except the craft hall of course.
Hay bales scattered around provided extra seating.
Inside the memorial hall, a chocolate cake competition had been held at the beginning of the day with the winning cake and other entries being sold off, sliced and served with cream. You had to be early to get slice of the winning cake.
The tacos people had a nice looking stand.
Eureka farms represented again this year with summer pudding.
Market and festival stalls are never short of olive oil sales in Tasmania.
A nice place to rest and listen to the bands. Next year we will bring chairs so we have a seat no one else will pounce on when we leave to buy food and wine and a place to rest our drinks.
In My Tassie Kitchen
Posted by tastetravel in Kitchen, Tasmania, Tasmanian food and wine on November 15, 2012
Thank you Celia of Fig Jam and Lime Cordial blog, you have encouraged me to keep stock of my kitchen. Lobster season is now open and here is our latest catch. The amount of fresh produce and processed food in Tasmania is increasing and we always find new brands and many of them are artisan brands with small productions so we like to support them when we can.
My lead photo was nearly todays salad with nasturtiums picked on my walk and chive flowers from my garden.
Rhubru is the brand name of the bottle of rhubarb vinegar we bought from Launceston's Farmers Market.
We also bought a rhubarb and lavender base for our new welcome drink. Not a great lover of cordial but this one is for those special occasions when someone arrives, doesn't drink our Tasmania sparkling but likes to feel they are also celebrating being in Tasmania.
I love organic rolled oats and I found another Tasmanian brand.
We don't have three ducks on the wall, just three starfish drying on kitchen sill.
The camellia was picked from the car park at our local plant nursery. I was inspired to buy some camellia plants for the house here. I bought three E.G. Waterhouse camellias, for horticulturists – official name Camellia x williamsii. They will look something like this one.
Our brand new ice cream maker, bought in Launceston. We have a red version of this brand in our Brisbane kitchen and for the price we are happy with it. I used to have a large one with a built in compressor but it died after many years of good service and we could not get it fixed, bet we could if we lived in Vietnam…
We have two cheeses from Yondover goat dairy, a fresh chevre style cheese (I am sure the French don't like the chevre word along with champagne pinched either) and this firm goats cheese known as Bella. Now out of its wrapping and ready to serve. Yondover Farm House Cheese, Lilydale on the road between Lonnie and Scottsdale.
They offer visits – Farm open 10 – 4 seven days a week, take the children to see milking at 4pm.
Also from the versatile people at Yondover a salami made with goats meat.
All about hazelnuts is the name of Elaine and Steve Rayner's hazelnut farm in Exeter, but unfortunately they do not have a website to share with you. We bought this bag from their stall at the Deloraine Craft Fair.
An apricot jam purchased from a Tulendeena farmers honour box stand. We bought it when we drove up to Scottsdale this week. 'Like you have never tasted' printed on the homemade label. I had a taste before taking the picture and it is different, reminiscent of dried pureed apricots. Maybe they dry apricots and use it for the jam. Not what I was expecting. I am contemplating ringing the farmers to see if I am right. I wonder what they will make of my phone call.
Harvest Farmers Market, Launceston
Posted by tastetravel in Artisanal, Australia, Tasmanian food and wine on November 5, 2012
As soon as we arrived back in our second home in north eastern Tasmania we headed off to the new (since February 2012) Harvest Farmers' Market in Launceston. We set the alarm early for our 2 hour drive from Binalong Bay.
Cimitiere Street car park, Launceston – every saturday 8.30am-12.30pm.
We have shopped at many Farmers Markets over the years on our travels through Australia and abroad and this one is the real deal. Owners, growers, makers, producers fronting their wares therefore possessing the vital knowledge sought when selecting and buying.
We could not resist the big bunch of Angelica (a biennial and perennial herb from the Apiaceae family), sold by Rosie MacKinnon alongside her fresh garlic.
There were two bakers present on this day and we bought from Sandy Baines, and next time we will try another. We also bought a bottle of award-winning Coronea Grove Olive Oil after a taste offered proved it had the peppery aftertaste we love. No wonder they won a medal this year.
Amaretti for Christmas
Posted by tastetravel in Kitchen, Recipes, Tasmanian food and wine on December 15, 2011
These biscuits are one of many versions of Amaretti. If you need a quick recipe for biscuits or even as a food gift for Christmas these will be appreciated by all. Since I am currently in Tasmania I tried to use as many Tasmanian ingredients as possible. A recipe with so few ingredients did not give me much scope but the egg whites are Tasmanian free range. When I tried this recipe the first time I found I had to add more egg white to make a firm but soft mixture. You may need extra egg white on hand. Some recipes call for almond essence. That can be dangerous if you are heavy handed as almond essence can be acrid and ruin the taste completely. Since using vanilla extract in place of almond I find the taste is subtle and it suits the soft and delicate texture.
Almonds on top – I keep almonds with skins on in my cupboard rather than blanched almonds, they have a fresher taste. I brought water to boil in a small pan on the cook top, added the almonds and waited 2 minutes and quickly removed them. When they were cool enough to handle I slipped the skins off easily.
Open print friendly Amaretti recipe
Makes 18-20
1 cup caster sugar
125g ground almonds
2 large free range egg whites
½ tspn vanilla extract (I use Sevarome vanilla)
Blanched and halved almonds
Mix together sugar and ground almonds, and the egg whites and vanilla extract. Mix well with electric mixer and beat for 3 minutes. Put aside for 5 minutes.
Use 2 dessertspoons to shape Amaretti and place on greased and floured oven trays. Or use non-stick baking paper to line trays.
Place a split almond half on top of each and lightly press. Bake in a moderate oven 165c for around 12 minutes. Check on the Amaretti as they can brown quickly. Remove and cool on racks.
Store in an airtight container.

The comprehensive guide to the RB25 Engine
"All you need to know about RB25DET Engine Tuning"
With the help of TMS Motorsport we are pleased to provide an all you need to know guide to tuning the popular RB25 engine. This has to rate as one of best engines to base a tuning project on, with massive tolerance of power gains, and many tuning part options.
Please note that cars fitted with the Tiptronic require a totally different approach to tuning, as the gearbox can't handle major power gains. (Triptronic are R34 only. R33 are Normal 4 speed Autobox with snow, power and economy mode)
Before you start, please have a goal in mind. TorqueCars hate to see the pick and mix approach to tuning, where various parts are just added to see what the power gains are then they are swapped out or other parts added. So set a power goal and then look at the components you'll need to achieve this.
We would suggest that the following bhp targets of 300, 350 and 450 are good targets, as they have fairly clear upgrade paths. Anything over 500 requires quite extensive work and a totally different range of parts so if this is your ultimate goal bear this in mind when fitting and sourcing parts.
6 Cylinder 2,498cc 24v valve turbo engine.
RB25DE - NON-TURBO twin-cam 180 - 200 hp @ 6000 rpm,
RB25DET - twin-cam TURBO (T3 Turbo) 245 to 250 hp
The NEO head fitted from 1998 helped with emissions, it also had solid lifters and used a different cam profile.
RB25DE NEO- NON-TURBO twin-cam 219 hp @ 6000 rpm
RB25DET NEO - twin-cam TURBO 276 hp @ 6400 rpm
- Spec 1 – Has an ignition amplifier. Coil packs are marked I + E, coil pack loom is different, therefore engine loom is slightly different. There were from early 1993 to 1994, but doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule. The S1 also had an aluminum compressor wheel, later editions were ceramic.
- Spec 2 – Engine doesn't have ignition amplifier. Coil packs are marked IB G +, coil pack look is different, which makes engine loom slightly different. Camshaft angle sensors were revised for a Mitsubishi CAS (early ones suffered from broken positioning teeth though so the Black CAS was introduced.)
- Spec 3 - Engine on very late R33, very few about. From late 1997 onwards. They run different camshafts, the Crank Angle sensor which went on to be used in the R34 RB25DET Neo engine.
Standard Boost is 2 stage. 0.5 bar until NVCS (about 4.5k revs), then 0.7 bar until 7k rev standard rev limit. This helps maintain fuel economy and keeps it drivable in slow traffic, the stage 2 boost option is usually the first thing an RB25 tuner will do and makes an easy power gain.
The mod involved quite simply cutting the black wire on the solenoid and connecting this to ground on the car body, forcing the car to stay in stage 2 boost all the time. There are plenty of detailed step by step instructions around in our forum, and many popular skyline forums out there.
Another way to achieve higher boost at low rpm is by fitting a boost controller. You can usually set this to 0.85 bar on a standard turbo.
The heads were pretty much the same on the R33. The NASP (naturally aspirated, non turbo) engines don't have water and oil lines to the turbo (obviously).
Weak spots/problems with the RB25 engines?
Running more than 0.9 bar boost on standard ceramic turbo causes premature turbo failure.
Oil cooling required on spirited use, these run quite hot so keep an eye on the oil temps.
Oil surge on high speed cornering leading to bearing failure (People often overfill standard engine by about ½ litre or more when on track, up to the H on the dipstick which is about 10mm over the full line)
- After 300 bhp you'll need an upgraded ECU.
- At 320-340bhp and greater you should uprate the turbo, head gasket, clutch, airflow meter and injectors.
- Pistons are generally good for 500bhp.
- The RB25 block can be rebored from the standard 86mm to 86.5 or 87mm.
The R33 GTR Fuel pump is a straight drop in and good for 500 odd BHP so becomes and obvious choice for the tuner, with the added benefit that these are quite easy to source in the used markets.
The standard fuel injectors usually hit the maximum at around 350BHP. GTR ones don't fit, unless modified and you use GTR injector ballast (different feed and impedance) so most people go to 55cc injectors, similar to those on the better Subaru Impreza engines.
What are the best turbo upgrades and what power figures do these support, mention a bolt on swap and also list the more complex turbo upgrades and hybrid options.
R34 GTT turbo is a little bit bigger. My preference would be 3037 garret or HS 2835 for around 400 ish bhp, more than that get a bit pointless on the road !
Looking over the exhaust you could fit a 75mm downpipe which improves Torque and BHP by upto 35lbft and 25bhp in some cases. Then taking off the catalyst (an off road mod in most countries) will give another 10 bhp.
Please help us to complete this article, use the feedback box below if you spot any errors or have any tips or comments to pass on to other RB25 engine tuners.

The Connection Between Overeating and Sleep Issues
Overeating can interfere with your ability to sleep well. The reverse is also true, though: sleep deprivation can lead to overeating.

I'm big on office meetings. Really big. Last year I wrote a blog on 7 Reasons You Should Have Office Meetings. But I only like them when they're done right. Here's 7 things you can do if you want to render an office meeting completely unproductive, and hated by you and all your staff members.
- Do all the talking yourself. The point of an office meeting is to hear from everyone on the team. Make an effort to ensure that every single person on your team contributes something.
- Schedule meetings while the office is open. Even a short meeting (say, 15 minutes) will be interrupted – guaranteed – if the doors are open for patients. Put a sign on the door "Closed for meeting until XX:XX" and then honor that commitment. If someone knocks on the door and says "I just need a quick <fill in the blank>" you and I both know what that means.
- Schedule meetings only when you need them. Often times when I ask a client if they have office meetings, they respond "yes, we have them whenever we need them", meaning they have them when they see a problem and need to lay down the law. Wrong answer. Too many owners wait until there's a crisis – then it's too late. Well-run, regularly scheduled meetings will help avoid these crises. I recommend a meeting every week.
- Dictate the solution to a problem. Example: You notice that your yearly contact lens purchases are down for the last six months. You have been offering a 10% discount for yearly supplies. Your solution – increasing the discount from 10% to 20%. Perhaps that is a good solution, perhaps it isn't. Instead, have the staff give their thoughts and offer some solutions – they're the ones that interact with the patients. Mary, your contact lens tech, may suggest "Doc, when you recommend something to a patient they are a lot more willing to act on it. Perhaps you can help by mentioning the benefit of a yearly purchase to every patient during your treatment plan discussion". Jane at the front desk offers "It would be helpful to have a flyer we can give them showing the cost benefits we already offer. Most of them don't know we even have a discount". Solutions that are provided by staff members are much more likely to actually be executed.
- Give non-specific sales goals. Example: "This year our goal is to increase sales by 10% – meeting adjourned". Uh, OK. We'll get right on that boss. Big goals need to be broken into smaller, digestible goals. Let the team design specific goals and then report on their progress each week. Perhaps measuring the current number of multiple eyewear sales, and then setting a goal to increase that number each week or month. Another goal might be to rearrange the appointment schedule to allow one extra exam slot per day. The point is to have something specific and measurable to help you achieve the bigger goal. Use your office meetings to review those incremental goals.
- Spend most of the meeting bitching about so-and-so patient. It's easy to spend a whole meeting on an incident with that %^^@@ patient Mrs. Jones. Yes she was a bitch, and yes she was wrong and we were right, but at the end of the day who cares? One of my favorite sayings is "it's not our fault, but it's our problem". A quick de-briefing of a situation gone bad is good, but make it positive. Solicit thoughts from your staff and ask them "how can we minimize such problems in the future?" And remember, 99% of the patients are reasonable and are the lifeblood of the practice.
- Criticize and never compliment. We're often quick to point out everyone's weaknesses but forget to recognize when someone is doing a good job. During the week make a note of staff members who go out of their way to provide great service. "Mary, I want to thank you for the great job you did handling that walk-in emergency last Thursday. Thanks to you we were able to help them and still keep on schedule. Great job!" It costs you nothing but being recognized in front of one's peers means everything to Mary.
So now – go out and DON'T do those things!

One year ago today my life changed. On June 11th, 2012 I had a panic attack that wouldn't stop and sent me tumbling into depression uttering the words, "things will never be the same…" over and over and over again. I was convinced that the terrible feeling of overwhelming anxiety that had consumed me would last forever. I was convinced I was handicapped. I was convinced my life would never be the same. I was convinced I was going to die. There were a lot of things I was convinced of at that time and only one of them was true…my life would never be the same…but not the way I thought. I was convinced that everything was downhill from that moment on…because how could someone possible recover from an experience like the one I had. How could things ever be normal? How could things ever go back to the way they were?
They can't. They won't. They never will…and now I know I never want things to be like they were before.
It took me a few months to stop looking at my anxiety as something that needed to be fixed and learned that it was something I needed to address. As soon as I stopped trying to fix everything I was able to cope with it. I had stupid timetables and goals I had set forth like how many months I'd take my medication before I stopped and got back to normal. Back to normal. That right there may be the worst three words I've ever spoken. Were things normal before? I thought they were but with 20/20 hindsight I am able to see that I have been living with anxiety my whole life but wasn't addressing it…so my body forced me to see it on June 11th, 2012. How did I not know? How did I not know that there was all this anxiety bubbling up inside of me? It seems so clear to me now…but again…I have 20/20 hindsight.
Very recently I started to figure out that things would never get "back to normal." How I was living before, though it seemed normal, was not healthy to my psyche. I was ignoring my emotions and when they came bubbling up to the top I was freaked out by them and saw them as a physical problem. I felt physically weird…so it made sense. I felt "normal," all the time and then all of a sudden I would feel woozy in my head. After having this happen many times I started to think, "there must be something seriously wrong with me." Then my brain focused on this and convinced myself that when I felt woozy it could be the moments before my death. So now I'm dying? It might sound stupid but that's how I think the evolution of my anxiety came about. Since I didn't know I was having anxiety attacks I perceived them as larger spells of me possibly dying. That is stressful. On June 10th I had a big anxiety attack because I had a migraine and on June 11th I told myself those terrible words, "Things will never be the same."
So what is "normal?" For me…"normal" meant how I felt before…but now I know that wasn't normal. I spent a lot of time this past year trying to get back to the way things were…but if I could…would I want to go back to being someone who isn't in touch with the emotions inside of them self? No. So what is "normal?" Getting back to "normal" means going backwards and that is not how life works. Life is tied to time and both flow ever forward. Getting back to "normal" is swimming upstream. That is a battle, and once you get back upstream you have two choices:
- Keep fighting the current forever
- Get washed right back downstream
This revelation (albeit obvious to some) is why I will never get back to "normal"…because I am moving forward. For better or worse I am moving forward because I already know what is behind me and I can't go back. I can't change it, fix it, relive it or go back to it. I can go forward, and unlike the past I have some say in how things go moving forward. I feel better. I have less anxiety than I did a year ago and I don't know how this will all play out but I'm in for the ride. I knew all the things I'd never do again after that panic attack and I was wrong about all of them. I can fly on planes, I can be in large crowds, I can leave my house, I can be a good father, and I am happy. Sometimes I'm anxious…and that's okay.
One year ago today my life changed. For the better. June 11th, 2012 is the day my body set off an alarm and told me I needed to start appreciating how good life is. That was when I learned it is okay to be scared. That was when I learned how great my family is, how amazing my marriage is, and how much I am not alone. It is a day to celebrate. It marks the beginning of the journey I am on and I am no longer looking for the end…I'm just traveling downstream and taking it as it comes. I can't go back. I have an opportunity to make myself a better person along the way which I aim to try to do as my children look to me for guidance…and I to them. If you are living with anxiety and fear you are not alone. Please help me celebrate today by doing something positive outside your comfort zone and see where it takes you. Say yes when you would normally say no. Break up your routine a bit and see who you meet or what adventures (big or small) are ahead. Life is out there!!! It is awesome, scary, exhilarating, exhausting, amazing, dangerous, loving and everything you can and can't imagine it to be. Let's live it.

To bring you up to speed, this is a brief recap of the last several days.
1. Traveled independently through Glasgow airport, found Beth, caught up on the drive to Airdrie. So surreal, probably partly due to jet lag, partly to Oleta's absence, and partly just the joy of seeing Beth again, and the knowledge that I was really back in Scotland!
2. Walked into the church during my team's worship session in the morning. Put down my things and joined in their discussion of Hebrews.
3. Discussed our drama for primary schools and testimonies for secondary school presentations.
4. Getting to know the team, personalities, voices, things to tease each of them about, etc.
5. Went to bed with my four lovely roommates and strangely had trouble sleeping. If you can't sleep with severe jet lag when can you sleep?
1. Traveled to Edinburgh for leaflet distribution. I got to pet two fluffy puppies and it was almost more than I could handle! Also, there was thunder, which is super weird in Scotland! It's happened multiple times over the last couple of days too, and is currently thundering outside now. What even?!
2. Had dinner at a local Airdrie restaurant. They ran out of fish so we forgot fish and chips and went for the ribs. Delicious.
3. Spent that evening relaxing and staying up much too late.
Saturday (a day off):
1. Went to Stirling for a visit to Stirling castle and a walk through the town.
2. Lots of stone steps, echoey hallways, tapestries, and cobble stone. Really beautiful and full of rich history.
3. Pasties and sausage rolls for lunch. Fantastic and only like a pound to eat! So cheap!
4. Trampoline park in the evening with the youth group. Super fun!
1. Sunday school, prayer meeting, and morning and evening service in Airdrie. So wonderful to see so many people again and talk with them.
2. Incredible meal at Beth's with the rest of the mission team and another visitor from London.
1. Gave testimonies in Edinburgh at secondary school (ages 11-18). Went quite well. Lots of good questions. Hoping to see them at the church meetings later this week.
2. Continued leaflet distribution in Edinburgh to spread the word about said meetings.
3. Awesome drive home from Edinburgh with one of their congregation, singing Irish tunes and listening to celtic music.
4. The most enjoyable evening yet spent at Beth's laughing and teasing up a storm, plus ice cream, raspberries, and The Princess Bride.
We'll be more detailed next time, but there you are for now. So many blessings to be thankful for!

The main motivation of the parallelization of computer programs is to enable the utilization of the increasingly popular multi-core architectures. However, writing an efficient parallel program is generally a big challenge. It is a natural need to make the creation of parallel programs as easy and as efficient as possible.
Logic programs describe the task at hand in a more direct way than imperative ones do, reflecting its structure more clearly. Thus in logic programs it is easier to identify parts well suited for parallelization, and this can even be done using completely automated methods. There are many parallel Prolog implementations taking advantage of this property of declarative languages.
However the support of the programmer can still be useful in some aspects such as which part of the program should be parallelized and with what level of granularity. So a system using this information can be more efficient in some cases than that using fully automated methods. Thus it is worth to examine the usefulness of a system which entrusts the indication of parts to execute in parallel to the programmer, in declarative languages as well.
The purpose of my thesis is to create such a system. The most important requirements are the following: the system should be easy to use, its parametrization should be flexible and it should try to utilize available resources as efficiently as possible.
In my thesis I first show the possibilities of parallelization of Prolog programs, and a way to implement these using the multi-threading capabilities of SWI-Prolog, a Prolog implementation (Chapter 1). Next, I provide a specification of the system to be built (Chapter 2), and present the plans of the implementation explaining the most important design decisions (Chapter 3). Subsequently, I show the details of the implementation (Chapter 4), and discuss the issues of testing and performance analysis (Chapter 5). The thesis concludes with a summary of the work done so far and a discussion of possible improvements (Chapter 6).

VIDEO: Crusaders tame Jaguares for third straight Super Rugby title
SUPER RUGBY FINAL REPORT: The Crusaders won their 10th Super Rugby title on Saturday with a 19-3 victory over the Jaguares in the Final in Christchurch.
It is also the Crusaders' third straight title after winning it in 2017 and 2018 as well.
Scott Robertson's side scored the only try in what was a bruising encounter from start to finish.
Flyhalf Richie Mo'unga contributed 14 points with the boot, while the Jaguares' only points of the game came via a Joaquin Diaz Bonilla penalty.
It was a strong defensive display by the Crusaders but the Jaguares will be kicking themselves for wasting several try-scoring opportunities.
The Crusaders dominated possession and territory early in the game, but it was the Jaguares who opened scoring with a Bonilla penalty in the 16th minute.
The defending champions were making uncharacteristic mistakes with ball in hand and they were also rattled by some big tackles from the Jaguares.
However, Robertson's side eventually opened their account in the 25th minute when Codie Taylor found his way to the tryline.
The Crusaders turned the ball over from a maul before the ball was spread to the blindside to captain Sam Whitelock who sprinted downfield before sending a neat inside ball to Taylor who scrambled his way to the tryline.
Mo'unga was successful with the conversion and the Crusaders were 7-3 ahead after 26 minutes.
The Jaguares nearly found themselves back in front in the 37th after an excellent offload from Pablo Matera put Matias Moroni into space down the touchline. However, the wing lost the ball into contact a metre from the tryline.
Instead, it was the Crusaders who had the final say in the half with Mo'unga slotting a penalty after the half-time hooter sounded to give his team a seven-point lead going into the break.
The Jaguares came out with great intent in the second half, but they squandered another try-scoring opportunity in the 43rd minute near the Crusaders' tryline after some enterprising play by Moroni down the touchline.
The Crusaders nearly got a try themselves in the 52nd minute after some clever deception near the Jaguares' tryline.
After a being awarded a penalty, it seemed as though the Crusaders were going for line-out, but Mo'unga took a quick tap instead and fed the ball to his forwards who drove over the tryline before being held up.
However, a few minutes later the Crusaders eventually extended their lead after Mo'unga converted a penalty into three points.
The Jaguares were struggling with their discipline and another infringement allowed the Crusaders flyhalf to push his team's lead to 13 points in the 59th minute.
The Jaguares tried their best to get back into the game, but the game was well and truly put to bed in the 75th minute when Mo'unga landed a monster penalty for a 16-point lead and in the process securing another Super Rugby title.
Man of the match: Richie Mo'unga was cool under pressure once again, while David Havili was a constant threat with the ball. Matias Moroni had a few good runs for the Jaguares and scrumhalf Tomas Cubelli was outstanding in the first half. However, the award goes to Crusaders flank Matt Todd who gave his all throughout the match. He was a menace at the breakdowns and he put in some big tackles as well.
The scorers:
For Crusaders:
Try: Taylor
Con: Mo'unga
Pens: Mo'unga 4
For Jaguares:
Pen: Diaz Bonilla
Crusaders: 15 David Havili, 14 Sevu Reece, 13 Braydon Ennor, 12 Jack Goodhue, 11 George Bridge, 10 Richie Mo'unga, 9 Bryn Hall, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Matt Todd, 6 Whetukamokamo Douglas, 5 Sam Whitelock (captain), 4 Mitchell Dunshea, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Codie Taylor, 1 Joe Moody.
Replacements: 16 Andrew Makalio, 17 George Bower, 18 Michael Alaalatoa, 19 Luke Romano, 20 Jordan Taufua, 21 Mitchell Drummond, 22 Mitchell Hunt, 23 Will Jordan.

Replacements: 16 Julian Montoya, 17 Mayco Vivas, 18 Enrique Pieretto, 19 Juan Manuel Leguizamón, 20 Tomas Lezana, 21 Felipe Ezcurra, 22 Domingo Miotti, 23 Sebastián Cancelliere.

Susan, my wife experiences the itchy and dry skin that you mentioned in your post. I like what you said about homemade scrubs, but I was hoping to find a spa to for a higher level experience for my wife. Do you have any tips for getting the most out of a spa visit? http://frankieds.com/skincare/May 31, 2016 - 5:27pm
Our skin is the largest organ we have, covering, literally, our entire bodies. It's also the only organ we have that is exposed to the outside elements like weather and day-to-day living. So it's only natural that it can become damaged and tired simply due to our environment.
Because many of us live in climates that vary from season to season, we may have different skin care needs every few months. But the Golden Rule should be noted — use a year-round broad spectrum sunscreen every day.
So now let's look at all four seasons and see what special needs each one carries.
Winter is the season where many women have trouble with their skin. Broad-spectrum sunscreen is still important, especially if partaking in snow play and sports. But this is the season where moisturizer is really needed as the cold, snow and harshness of winter will cause skin to dry and crack, and can actually be very painful.
Switch your moisturizing lotions to thick creams. One or two night a week, use a thick, unscented cream all over your body before bed and cover in cotton pajamas. Your skin will feel amazingly soft from being swathed in good moisturizer for eight hours.
If you have dry, cracked feet, cover them fully in white petroleum jelly before bed and wear cotton socks. The difference in the morning is incredible. Do this at least once a week to keep your body and feet feeling hydrated.
Your face will also need special care. Most of your body will be covered in the cold months but your face will often be exposed to the harsh elements. Use a good moisturizing cream at night and use it on your neck and chest, too. Cleanse, tone and moisturize at night, using products that promote moisture. When cooking those great winter comfort foods, use olive or coconut oil.
Don't forget your hands and lips — two body parts that can become very chapped in winter. Wear gloves when you go out.
Remember hearing that Cleopatra used to take milk baths? She was a smart woman.

Nicola & Sean's Wedding
We had a bit of deja-vu on Saturday, as we were back in Corick House for the second night in a row! Thanks to Nicola and Sean for inviting us along t0 play a few tunes. There was a massive crowd in, and the Corick staff had the room laid out perfectly, and the place was looking great!
This blog title comes courtesy of Nicola! We were chatting to her before we started, and finding out how her big day had been going. Then she told us that she worked in a 999 call centre! That's definitely one of the more unusual jobs that one of our brides has had! So, cheers Nicola, that was our blog title sorted! 🙂
We started things off with Picture This' Addicted To You for Nicola and Sean's first dance, and the bridal party quickly joined them. It was a pretty young crowd, so we came in with Shut Up and Dance, which instantly filled the massive dance floor. Literally that was job done, because the floor never emptied until we stopped for the buffet! We don't like to stop when people are dancing, so we were knackered when the buffet came out! lol However, we'll not complain, as it was great to see such an amazing crowd. They kept going all night too, and the place was still buzzing when we played our last song. What a brilliant crowd! We had to play an encore (which we weren't complaining about!), but were surprised when the crowd shouted for Rock The Boat – hence the photo below!
Thanks again to Nicola and Sean for booking us to play at their wedding. It was great to meet them both, and hear some of the stories from Nicola about working in a 999 call centre! Finally, we'd like to wish them well on their honeymoon. They're going to Vegas, and then are finishing things off in New York. Should be amazing, have a great time guys!
Booking a Northern Ireland wedding band?
We're one of the busiest wedding bands in Northern Ireland, and hope to stay that way!

If you have a budget-busting £1 million or more for your next property purchase, then you might be interested in one of these.
And if not, well there's no harm in taking a look.
From a mini Downton Abbey style manor house to a contemporary mansion with a tower, the capital can offer a style to suit most tastes.
Here's Cardiff's Millionaires' Row.
1. Lisvane: £2m
You may need some sort of Tannoy system installed in this house to find members of your family - it's a massive 9,000 square feet of luxury. Even the hallway is 45 foot long.
Set in 9 acres the dream home has 4 en-suites, 2 bathrooms, 4 reception rooms, a lovely kitchen-diner and a triple garage.
Take a tour now...
And a mesmerising view across the capital and beyond to the Bristol Channel, so you can see when there's snow on the way.
RELATED:Take a video tour of this property
Contact:Kelvin Francis
2. Old St Mellons: £2m
If you are missing Downton Abbey and the Crawley family, then maybe owning this manor house on the outskirts of the east of the city might help you get over your pining (plus a DVD box set of the series).
Have your very own Lady Mary moment or Earl of Grantham grump every day at Vaendre Hall, which dates back to 1850.
The owner recalls spending long summer afternoons playing croquet on the lawn, barbecues in the garden and never-ending games of hide and seek in the grounds.
Sounds idyllic.
Contact:Chewton Rose
3. Cyncoed: £1.7m
This luxury home has certainly made a splash on this Cardiff Millionaires' Row list. For anyone looking to improve fitness, there's a pool in the back garden and a gym in the summer house and a sauna in one of the 3 bathrooms.
It may be too late to get to the Rio Olympics though.
With a sweeping handcrafted curved staircase, balcony overlooking the pool from the master bedroom, dressing room and triple garage, the touches of glamour continue throughout the home.
Contact:Kelvin Francis
4. Lisvane: £1.6m
Seems like a pool is a popular garden addition on Millionaire's Row. The water looks so calm and inviting, imagine all the summer parties poolside!
But it's not all about the pool and the 130 foot south facing garden (though it's a great place to start).
Take a drone flight over this amazing property...
This stunning property has 7 bedrooms, 5 reception rooms and outline planning permission for a building plot, so potential for the next buyer to add to their fortune.

Contact:Fine and Country
5. Llandaff: £1.4m
If the next owner of this dream home is looking for a unique history, then this detached 5 bedroom property was part of the original Roald Dahl estate.
You don't have to love the books by this Cardiff-born internationally celebrated children's author, but if Charlie and Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach or any of Roald's stories shaped your reading habits as a youngster, then this historical connection is certainly a bonus.
Built in 1907 to the exact design wishes of Roald's father Harold, Ty Gwyn is a 5 bed home perfectly placed to stroll to Llandaff Village and commute into the city centre via a short train journey, whilst reading Roald Dahl, of course.
Contact:Hern & Crabtree
6. Llandaff: £1.25m
Most Cardiffians at some point have had a drink or a meal at Churchill's in Llandaff, but the hotel and bar is no-more and the site is soon to be an exclusive development of 9 properties due for completion in September 2016.
So, for now, this entry is just a building site, but the CGI images suggest the level of gorgeousness the new homes will be offering those able to put in an offer.
This largest property on the site has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a double garage.
Contact:Jeff Hopkins
7. Radyr: £1.2m
In the heart of Radyr Village, this 4 bedroom home is an individually designed property with all the emphasis on light.
Huge windows allow the light to flood into the contemporary abode, from the impressive front door and entrance through to the 29ft lounge at the rear, which has floor to ceiling sliding doors.
Time to find a fantastic local window cleaner as soon as you move in.
Contact:Michael Graham Young
8. Lisvane: £1.2m
This tower-tastic white washed dream home can rightly claim its unique label. Architecturally designed with under floor heating, integrated Sonus audio system and roof terrace, it's a little bit of Beverley Hills luxury living here in Cardiff.
Sleek, contemporary and James Bond style, the home offers any budding 007 a total of 5 stylish bedrooms including the master suite with access to the roof terrace, a magnificent double-height kitchen breakfast room and a wine cellar.
Plus that amazing Rapunzel tower that houses the staircase.
9. Whitchurch: £1.2m
It's an imposing and attractive Edwardian property sitting on the corner of a popular suburban road and inside it's just as impressive.
The exceptional period property is oozing with period charm - fireplaces, coving, wood block flooring, Minton floor tiles - but the current owners have extended to create a wonderful modern kitchen diner overlooking the garden.
If you fancy a potter around the garden, there are two sheds, a greenhouse and an established vegetable garden.
Time to get the wellies on and start living the good life.

Contact:Thomas H Wood
10. Lisvane: £ is a mystery...
This house is priceless - literally. You can play 'guess the price' but you will have to contact the estate agents directly to find out if you are right.
Called Nant Fawr, the contemporary and unique property is more like a small village, with separate buildings dotted around the large plot.
You may never have to leave the site.
There's work space with a large office already set-up for a working day.
There are leisure facilities including a gym, jacuzzi and sauna room.
There's entertainment on-site with a cinema room available to see the latest movies and a games room which includes a snooker table.
There's an art / craft studio in the grounds, so that's your hobbies covered.
There's a log cabin in the woodland overlooking a small lake, so you can even take your holidays on-site.
And there's a garage for 10 cars. Yes, that's not a typo - 10 cars. Hope the new owner has a lot of family and friends.
