Lorenzo! interview
Hello Lorenzo! For those who don't know who you are.. Can you tell us little about yourself, you must have been doing this for some years now...?
work 15 seconds in good traffic. Can you tell us a bit about your comic work? It all started with a little tale called Malcolm Magic, a small indie series that my bro and I started when we were both still in the grind of part time office jobs. The series went on to become a modest success, and eventually became a 320 page graphic novel. This led to interest from publishers and we were both able to give the finger to the office jobs and go pro. From there we created Monkey Nuts, (which ran in the Guardian Newspaper for a time), the first collected volume is being released in September by Random House. We have a new series called Baggage dropping in spring 2011 also from Random House, and another series under development, though that'll be something a little different.
I've been working as a professional comic artist for the past four years or so, almost exclusively working on titles created with my brother, writer Robin Etherington, although I've also worked on franchised properties from time to time. I see comic books as a fantastic platform for creators who have unbridled imaginations and control freak tendencies. It's like writing a movie where you call all the shots, the actors all turn up on time and the only budget restriction is the time you're willing to put into the page. The imagery and graphic techniques of the comic artist are so closely related to those of the street artist, I don't see much difference between the page and the Wall. Where do you live and work?
Did you go to art school?
I live and work up in Redland, I have a studio in my apartment, which makes my commute to
Yes, I studied Fine Art Sculpture at the awesome Falmouth School of Arts, deep down
Lorenzo! Andyinterview Council in Cornwall.
Favorite living artist?
What are your major influences?
My bro, the man's the greatest writer and I'm honored to work with him every day.
British comics of the 1930's, Gorillaz, Uderzo, Hardboiled Detective novels, Edd Cartier, Jack Cole, Eisner, etc etc.
Favorite deceased artist? Edd Cartier, an obscure old 40's pulp illustrator, the most beautiful line style I've ever seen.
You had some involvements with some of Dreamwork's animated movies, what was your role there?
Do you have any favored albums you especially listen to when creating your work?
I worked for about a year with Dreamworks developing their movie properties into comic book stories. Predominantly I worked on Madagascar, as it was their lead franchise at the time, but towards the end I also began working on a Kung Fu Panda series with my bro, who by then was writing for them as well. When we signed contracts on Monkey Nuts, I had to stop working for DW due to time constraints, but I learnt SO MUCH in that year! Those guys know what they're doing!
I actually listen to a lot of 40's hard boiled detective stories most of the time, but when my bro's in the studio too we listen to a lot of different stuff. At the moment it's Husky Rescue, Von Iver, Miss Li, The Juan Maclean, and there's always room for RATM of course. Any exciting projects coming up? Baggage, our next book is in the middle of production, so my head's all full of that at the moment, but I also have a 600 page sketchbook of my work dropping at the Bristol comic convention in May.
You recently kicked London's ass at a Secret Wars battle with Mr Andy Council, how was that? It was very cool to be up drawing with those guys, the London boys had some proper skills, I was very impressed! And Andy of course is a legend!
What advice would you give someone wanting to make a career from their work? Don't try and make work based on what you think will be popular. Do it for yourself and what you care about first and foremost. The passion and energy you'll put into something like that will be a lot more infectious than a copycat project, and publishers are much more likely to buy into something genuinely original. Oh, and make sure you create at least one new thing each day, no matter how small.
What's the process in creating your work? Do you prefer digital to craft? It all depends, I tend to do my comic coloring in the computer because it's very fast, though all the other stages of production are done by hand with pen and ink at the drawing board, just like they used to way back when. My paintings are done freehand using markers, acrylic, gouache and ink.
Thanks Lorenzo! Any last words? No, just a thank to you guys for having me in the gallery! Cheers!
Have you done any sculpture? Yes, I studied sculpture at art school, and when I graduated I concentrated on furniture design for a couple of years. I really want to get back into 3D at some point, perhaps doing sculpts of my characters for vinyls etc. I'm often getting approached to do interesting projects, so you never know!
Catch Lorenzo's 'One Man Army' show starting on Friday 26th March 6-10pm. Running until Sunday 25th April at Weapon of Choice Gallery, 14 St Michael's hill, Bristol, BS2 8DT.

Worcester, Mass.-The University of Bridgeport women's lacrosse team held a 5-3 lead at halftime, but the host Assumption College Greyhounds stormed back to score eight consecutive goals to open the second half on their way to a 13-8 non-conference win over the Purple Knights on Thursday afternoon. UB is now 5-8 overall, and Assumption raises its overall record to 5-9.
Junior Lauren Mengel (Gilbertsville, Pa.) led the UB offense with five goals, and freshman Courtney Forry (Reinholds, Pa.) chipped in the other three for the Purple Knights.
Sophomore Arianna Weingrad (Hicksville, N.Y.) added an assist for Bridgeport.
Senior goalkeeper Megan Carney (Norwalk, Conn.) made 10 saves on the afternoon.
Up next, the UB women's lacrosse team will close out its four-game road trip with an ECC contest at Queens (N.Y.) on Wednesday afternoon. Game time is slated for 4:00 p.m. in Flushing, N.Y.

If you are a regular follower of mine you will know that my husband plays darts and I always struggle to find digis related to darts to make cards for him.
We I recently discovered a saucier artist that produces digi stamps and colouring books called Tamara (illustrations by T) and I joined her facebook groups. Whilst in there I mentioned that we could do with a sexy darts player and as if by magic a couple of days later she had designed one!
If you don't like the more flesh bearing images I apologise but these are done in really good taste and she is very talented and I hope that we start to see more of her amazing images around blogland.
The digi is called Take Aim and you can find her by clicking here
I coloured her using ProMarkers but did the sentiments on the PC before I printed her. I kept this very CAS to show off this gorgeous Gal!
I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges
Thank you for visiting my blog and sharing this card with me. Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think. Hope to see you again soon.

6 Ways to Make Money Doing What You Love
I have always loved to write.
As soon as I learned to string words together into meaningful sentences, I imagined my future career would have something to do with writing.
Unfortunately, life happened. I didn't become a novelist, a journalist, or a freelance writer. I became a teacher. Although I enjoyed it, I always had the sinking feeling that my career was not what I was meant to be doing.
Years later, becoming a stay-at-home mom changed everything for me. Without the 9 to 5 grind and endless evenings of planning and marking, I suddenly had a small amount of time each day to do something completely for myself.
So, I wrote. I reignited a lifelong dream.
After a taste of having time to do what I love most, I began to wonder: is writing something I could do for money? In my soul-searching, I thought about the other things I've always loved to do, including playing the piano, sketching, and painting.
But there are a few key differences between writing and my other passions:
- I want to do it every day. Writing is something I not only want to do each and every day, but something I feel I must do. By contrast, I play the piano only a few times a week, and my artistic endeavors have dwindled to a few times a year.
- I want to share it with other people. When I write, I do it with the intention of being read one day, whereas playing the piano and painting are hobbies I do only for myself.
- It's an area in which I'm skilled. I have excelled in English and creative writing my whole life, while my piano playing and art skills are only mediocre.
- I'm motivated to learn more about it. I'm naturally drawn to professional development when it comes to writing. I want to know all there is to know about the craft, and practice regularly. While I'd love to be able to play the piano like a concert pianist, or paint like Van Gogh, I'm not compelled to put in the time and effort necessary to make that happen.
Writing, I discovered, is a passion I could successfully monetize for all of these reasons, and that's exactly what I've committed to do.
Should you try to make money from your hobby?
Is it something you want to do every day? Something you want to share? Something you're good at? Something you want to learn more about?
If you've answered yes to these questions, there's one more consideration.
If you're thinking of trying to make either a full-time or secondary income from your hobby, first ask yourself:
Is there a market for what I have to offer?
Like a fabulously-written book no one wants to read, some interests appeal to only a small audience and, therefore, offer little in the way of a market.
In the case of writing, the market is big enough to sustain my goals of making an income (in my case, a secondary income). If your hobby has a similarly large audience–or a strong niche market–consider these 6 ways to earn some money:
- Sell a product. Writers can sell books. Knitters and sewers can design their own fashions. Woodworkers can market home furnishings. Musicians can record CDs. Artists can sell their paintings. Many hobbies hold the opportunity to create and sell a product, through a local business, a craft market, or online.
- Write an eBook. The digital age has arrived, and you no longer need a traditional publisher to write, market, and sell your book. EBooks can be fiction, but more often they're information-packed guides for people who want to know more about a topic. You can write an eBook about virtually anything, so the sky's the limit.
- Freelance. Magazines, journals, newsletters and blogs all present opportunities for you to write about what you love doing. Articles can be informational, but don't necessarily need to be. Try teaching a new strategy, sharing some great resources, or telling an anecdote about your hobby.
- Perform. If your passion is an artistic one, why not plan a performance? Give a concert in the park, play at weddings and social functions, join a local festival line-up.
- Offer a service. Skilled writers can offer editing and proofreading, mentoring, or manuscript evaluations. Advertise your tailoring services if you're handy with a needle. Love flower-arranging? Offer to do centerpieces and bouquets for special events.
- Teach workshops. If you're an authority in your subject area, people will be willing to pay money for your expertise. Try teaching a course through your a college, the library, a community center, or online.
Not all of these monetizing options will be possible or appealing for everyone, but a few well-chosen strategies can help put you on the road to making an income doing what you love.
One caveat: Be sure the very thing you love doesn't become a burden once it's something you must do, instead of something you choose to do.
The best way to determine whether you should make money from your hobby is to trial one strategy at a time. Write a few articles, teach a workshop, or sell a product for a few months. Do you still enjoy doing it? Are you making a bit of cash?
Decide whether you'll continue, and what strategies you'll implement to make it happen.
What's your hobby or passion? Have you ever considered trying to make money doing what you love? Do you have other tips to share on monetizing your hobby?

Genre: Krautrock
Album Legnth: 41.41
Best Song: Kannan
1. Kannan 4.03
2. Dem Guten, Schonen, Wahren 6.13
3. Luzifers Ghilom 8.34
4. Henriette Krotenschwanz 2.04
5. Phallus Dei 20.48
Literally translated as 'God's Penis', 'Phallus Dei' is an important album which helped to define the genre. The groups unique blend of rock, Eastern influence, and improvisation led to a powerfully energetic sound that is distinctly German in every way. The band, eight members in total, consisted of two drummers, Dieter Serfas and Peter Leopold, who together, provide one of the most prominent percussion sections in rock history. The vocals are dark and full of angst; especially those performed by Shrat which come off as operatic in nature. The album kicks off with 'Kanaan', a powerful percussion-driven track with romantic overtones. 'Kanaan' explores Eastern musical motifs with a flair of German romanticism and showcases guest musicians Holger Trulzsch (Popol Vuh) on Turkish drums and Christian Burchard (Embryo) on vibraphone. Following this is 'Dem Guten, Schonen, Wahren' a track which was first released in its embryonic form as 'Kaskados Minnelied' on Amon Duul's (the sister group) debut-LP 'Psychedelic Underground'. The musical growth of this track is astounding as Amon Duul II rocks out in gloomy fashion while Shrat delivers some of the most crazed vocals ever put onto record. 'Lucifers Ghilom' is noteworthy for its innovative and bizarre musical structure. As with later works, most notably 'Tanz Der Lemminge', the musical direction shifts constantly as the track builds. Predating Embryo, 'Ghilom' introduces a wonderfully-obnoxious screeching electric violin into the mix. 'Henriette Krotenschwanz', a short track with a marching drumbeat and pulsing bass riff, showcases Renate Knaup performing lead vocals. Finally, the album is brought to a close by the twenty-minute psychedelic opus 'Phallus Dei'. 'Phallus Dei' is a large scale improvisation that introduces elements that would later dominate the bands sound. The album has been reissued by Repertoire in a remastered digipak edition with five bonus tracks 'Freak Out Requiem I-IV' and 'Cymbals In The End'.

It's Mother's Day weekend and what better way to spend some down time than to sew up another outfit for summer even if it's not for myself? I think I enjoy sewing for others more so than for myself. I spend most of my days in jammies anyway so most of my wardrobe goes unworn throughout each season. I honestly don't think I've bought anything brand new for myself in months- stay at home moms have it easy as far as a work wardrobe goes! When I had a 'real' job, I was buying clothes at least once a month. Now, I just hoard fabric to make clothes and simultaneously exercise some creative demons. You see, I get real antsy if I'm not creating something new everyday. It's an awful addiction I have and now my daughter's caught it as well. She wants to craft every day: stamping, painting, drawing, stickering (is that a word?), cutting and pasting, beading...and the list goes on and on! I honestly can't wait until she's headed off to preschool because then I'll have someone else providing her with some artsy craftsy projects as well. I'm running out of ideas of how to entertain this girl!
My latest creation comes in two parts: an adorable summery tunic from Shwin & Shwin and a pleated wrap skirt that I designed myself. I paired the two together because they looked adorable but each one can be mixed and matched with other pieces to create different looks. I adore all the looks that Shwin & Shwin creates and she also has several free patterns with instructions on her site- such a great resource for beginning sewists like myself!
She calls it the Black Bird tunic and it's so simple to make that I finished it in just a few hours after the kids went to sleep.
The pattern is offered in a size 2T and my daughter fits 4T. I printed each page at 100% and just eyeballing it, I figured it would fit her just fine. It helps that she's built like a stick at this point. I did add an inch to the length of the bodice though because she has a long torso.
I used a lightweight seersucker for the top and instead of using a lining fabric for the neckline, I just doubled up on the fabric. And then a heart-shaped button is so much more fun than a round one, don't you think?
I think I will put together a quick tutorial for the pleated wrap skirt. They are a great beginner sewing project and look adorable on the littles! I made K's skirt out of white denim fabric and instead of a tie waist, I sewed on two buttons instead. By the way, sewing buttonholes in denim is no fun at all! But I like the resulting look of this skirt and as her waist grows, I can move the buttons farther along the waistline to accommodate her. If she grows taller, we can layer a ruffled skirt or tutu underneath and it'll be a completely new and fun look! Oh, how I do adore multi-tasking clothes!

Evangelicals for Social Action serves as a prophetic invitation to a life in Christ marked by the humble and cooperative pursuit of peace with justice for all. We curate challenging and thought-provoking articles for our blog, offer teaching and preaching, promote dialogue, and work with partner organizations.
ESA's Projects
ESA's Oriented to Love uses dialogue as a framework for transformation within the church. Dedicated to empowering Christians to better understand their brothers and sisters in Christ who hold sexual/gender identities and theological convictions different from their own, OTL gathers small but highly diverse groups of people for loving, in-depth encounters on level ground at the foot of the cross. A common faith in Christ binds them together to make their efforts productive, meaningful, and long-lasting.
CreatureKind works to engage the Christian church on animal welfare issues, with a particular focus on farmed animal welfare, a critical and often-overlooked aspect of creation care. CreatureKind focuses on partnerships for policy change, education, and community-building. CreatureKind is a project of Farm Forward and ESA.
The Racial Justice Institute is a one-day workshop on racial justice facilitated by a gifted and wise, multiracial and interdisciplinary panel of facilitators. These workshops provide congregations and communities the opportunity to spend a full day talking about race in a way they may never have before. In addition, we develop a variety of experiences that engage people of faith around issues of identity, empire, history and justice at the intersection of race as a social issue. Christians are called to be one in Christ (Galatians 3:28) not to erase the beautiful differences the Creator bestowed upon humanity, but to utterly destroy the hierarchies and domination that humans attach to those differences. Through pilgrimage, discussion, media (writing, video, etc) and events, the Racial Justice Institute will be a innovative and brave space for racial justice dialog in the radically loving tradition of Jesus.
The Institute for Family Vitality works to support the independence, integrity, and well-being of intergenerational working families by equipping students and the church to apply family strengthening approaches as a key strategy for success. The Institute trains students to understand the theology of holistic ministry and to apply the family strengthening model in their field of study; mentors "opportunity youth" to ensure success through college and beyond; and provides churches and communities nationwide with the tools to incubate transformative social programs and strengthen families.
New Copernican Empowerment Dialogues foster and accelerate a generational transfer of leadership from boomers to millennials. New Copernicans are those who embrace a new and emerging social imaginary that is post-Enlightenment and post-secular in its ethos. Carried predominantly by millennials, the New Copernican perspective is both the hope for the American evangelical church and the emerging soul of American culture. The goal is to empower emerging millennial leaders with the vocabulary, perspective, and respect they need to assume national institutional leadership in the coming twenty years. The second purpose of these dialogues is to correct this wrong through the curation of fresh digital content, university-based salons, and the formation of a national community of New Copernican thinkers and do-ers.
Sider Scholars are graduate students at Palmer Theological Seminary of Eastern University. Through their association with ESA, Sider scholars gain valuable experience in research, writing, and networking in holistic ministry, public policy, and social transformation as well as a greater understanding of how to integrate scholarship, popular writing, and organizing for social action. Sider Scholars are mentored by the faculty and staff of ESA and receive a 50% tuition discount.
ESA's Partners
ESA Partners are doing good work for the Kingdom. We support the following projects through staff collaboration, financial contribution, or promotion.

I can't give any detailed step-by-step description as I my boyfriend has done most of the work :) But maybe some of you can find some inspiration to build your very own big cage for your furry little friend.
Here we go.
Let me know if you are interested in some more detailed information about how this cage has been built or what material we have used! I'm sure Ross is more than happy to help as he is really proud of his little project :)

This program is to show how to write a simple timer in atmel to make your own delay function using the timer.
The basic registers which we will use:
The basic registers which we will use:
1. TCNTx : load the timer values
Timer 0 and Timer 2 >> TCNT0/TCNT2 >> 8 bit timers hence can store 00 to FF.
Timer 1 >> TCNT1L, TCNT1H >> 0000 to FFFF.
2. TCCRX : Timer / Counter Control Register
This controls the way in which timer will function.
Here our aim is to make a simple delay function so we will focus in last three bits only and set the remaining bits to 0
These are the clock select bits which decides the frequency that will be used to run the timer.
Now suppose you select a prescaler of 64. If the crystal frequency is 16Mhz, then the frequency of timer will become 16/64 = 0.25 Mhz.
hence the TCNTx register will increment 2,50,000 times in a second or say once every 4 micro seconds.
NOTE : if the last 3 bits are 000, that means there is no clock source and the timer wont run..
This way you can turn off the timer.
ANd when TCNTx again becomes zero, TIFR register comes into picture:
3. TIFR : Timer Interrupt Flag register
The bits of this register are the flags whose values will change when the TCNTx register overflows.
The flags are by default zero and when overflow occurs, they are set. This flag has to cleared and to clear the flag, we have to write "1" to it!!
Note : Each timer has its own ISR(Interrupt Service Routine). When overflow occurs, interrupt occurs and the code inside ISR will be executed.
Our code here is very simple..
>> Set the value in TCTN0 register
>> Set the prescaler in TCCR0.
>> Wait till the Overflow occurs.
Waiting is not timers are meant for..
But this makes clear the basic functions of various registers.
Run it in proteus, and you can see the LED blinking.
Get the codes from here:

Hinduism is not just one particular approach to life. In this best-selling textbook John Brockington shows how Hinduism encompasses new dilemmas in traditional language and accommodates fresh insights to established viewpoints. Since its first publication The Sacred Thread has consistently proved an invaluable introduction to Hinduism.
About the Author
John Brockington is Reader in the Department of Sanskrit at the University of Edinburgh
A work that is so finely and compactly written as to merit the highest praise both for the great erudition and scholarship that emanate from every page as well as for the concentrated effort obviously required to produce it.
In ten chapters Brockington provides an excellent survey of religious developments on the subcontinent from Harappa to the Hindu reform movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, introducing the reader to the broader philosophical and cultural dimensions of the Indian tradition as well.
An admirable survey which comes closer than any other to providing the novice student of Indian civilisation with a reasonable view of the major facets of the Hindu religion.

Committee on Preparation for Ministry assists inquirers and candidates as they prepare to become Ministers of the Word and Sacrament. Meets 1st Wednesday 5:30pm @ CRCDS.
Welcome to CPM!
This listserv is intended to foster communication among CPM members and inquirers and candidates. All CPM members and all inquirers and candidates currently under care of the Presbytery of Genesee Valley have been added to the list. Replies can be sent as "reply all" to go the entire group or just "reply" to go to the sender.
Here are some ways this new form of communication might be used:
- To share resources (Examples: Where to go for career counseling, for courses to help prepare for ords, links to denominational resources for the inquirer and candidate process, spiritual direction.)
- To ask questions (Examples: How do I apply for financial aid? I failed one of my ords and I'd like to talk to another candidate; can someone help me?)
- To clarify procedures (Examples: Explanation of process of moving from inquirer to candidate status, flow chart of the entire process of inquiry and candidacy.)
To use the list just send email to [email protected]. Please note that messages can only be sent from e-mail addresses which are part of the list. So, if you change your address, be sure to let Beth Weaver know so we can update the list.
Membership: 12–18 (equal number of elders and ministers).
To enter into a covenant relationship with those preparing to become Ministers of the Word and Sacraments so as to ensure that those who are to be ordained receive full preparation for their task.
The Committee on Preparation for Ministry not only assists inquirers and candidates as they prepare for ministry but it also provides nurture and care for those enrolled as inquirers and candidates under care.
The Committee Shall:
- Be authorized to act on behalf of the Presbytery of Genesee Valley in accordance with the Book of Order section G-2.0601 – G-2.0610.
- Meet with sessions when a member of the church desires to become an inquirer in order to provide an orientation to the preparation process, and instruct sessions as to their role in the inquiry and candidacy phases.
- Interview prospective inquirers and enroll them as Inquirers or grant their withdrawal from the process if so requested and report that action at the next Presbytery meeting in accordance with the Book of Order.
- Provide consultation and guidance during the inquiry phase, ensuring that all requirements of the Book of Order are met.
- Confer with inquirers and review evidence that they are ready to proceed to candidacy, making a definite recommendation to the Presbytery with respect to whether the inquirer should be received as a candidate.
- Provide continuing consultation and guidance during the candidacy phase, in order to determine whether each candidate to be ordained has fully demonstrated readiness to begin the Ministry of the Word and Sacrament or grant withdrawal from the process if so requested and report the same to the next Presbytery meeting as required by the Book of Order.
- Consult annually with each inquirer and candidate as required by the Book of Order, and report such actions to the Presbytery.
- Recommend to Presbytery for election readers for candidates examinations.
Additional Responsibilities
The Committee on Preparation for Ministry, along with the Committee on Ministry and the Clergy Care and Development Committee, has additional responsibilities as outlined in the Candidate Indebtedness Policy of our Policies and Procedures Manual.

Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester United will meet for the first time in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash in Ukraine.
The two sides come into the game having won their opening Group A fixtures, with Shakhtar defeating Real Sociedad 2-0 in Spain while United ran out 4-2 victors over Bayer Leverkusen at Old Trafford.
Shakhtar have won all three of their previous home fixtures against English opposition in the Champions League, with successes over Arsenal in 2000-01 and 2010-11 before last season's 2-1 victory over Chelsea, which helped eliminate the then-holders of the competition.
United's last visit to Ukraine was a successful one though, ending in a 4-2 win over Dynamo Kiev in the 2007-08 group stage.
And Mircea Lucescu's men head into the fixture on the back of a run of inconsistent league form, having won only one of their past five matches in the Ukrainian Premier League, a division they have won for the last four consecutive seasons.
They currently sit third in the table, having dropped 10 points from the opening 11 games – just one point less than they missed out on in the whole of the last term.
Shakhtar's latest outing saw them come from two goals down to rescue a point against local rivals Metalurh Donetsk, with Eduardo coming off the bench to bag the equaliser with eight minutes remaining.
United, under new manager David Moyes, have also struggled for form domestically this season.
The three-time European champions have taken just seven points from their first six Premier League games, their worst start to a season since the 1989-90 campaign.
Moyes came in for criticism following Saturday's 2-1 home defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion, a result that leaves the reigning champions eight points adrift of early leaders Arsenal.
However, the former Everton boss will have Nani available for the trip to Donetsk after the Portuguese winger missed the opening game through suspension following his red card in last season's exit to Real Madrid.
Wayne Rooney's two goals against Leverkusen made him the all-time leading British scorer in the competition with 29 goals, while Robin van Persie's strike in the same game means he has now scored in 10 consecutive Champions League seasons.

Getting an old jacket or blazer altered is usually quicker and cheaper than if you were ordering one made up from scratch, and it is a great way to revamp older garments or vintage finds. Often, a bit of careful altering here and there can do wonders for your tired old blazer. Below, we're going to go over some of the best Savile Row tricks to make your old suit jacket or blazer shine.
Fix up the collar
A flash of colour underneath the collar can add a little something extra to your blazer, whilst still being very subtle; trust us, you'll feel the difference. If you can, try to echo the detail in the lining using a suede or silk.
Switch the buttons
Swapping cheap, plastic men's fashion buttons for more refined brass, wood or leather can instantly transform your blazer and make it look far more expensive. It may seem like a simple change, but you'll notice the difference in the mirror.
Add patches
As a general rule of thumb for patches, you should choose a contrasting colour or texture, and they should always be expertly stitched. If you have a corduroy or tweed jacket, try investing in some suede elbow patches.
A touch of bright stitching
A little bit of stitching around the buttonhole, for example, can be a refreshing change, and one of the easiest alterations a tailor can perform. It'll only take a few minutes to add a bit of bright stitching.
Replace the lining
Particularly with old vintage jackets or blazers, you may be disappointed to find the lining has been stained or frayed over the years. The good news is; you can transform the inside of an old blazer or jacket with a bright colour or pattern. You could even go for red silk or satin, if you're particularly into actor Peter Capaldi's version of the new Doctor Who.
Whether you've picked up a vintage blazer, or have lost weight, you may wish to consider getting your blazer tailored to better suit your frame. A good tailor will be able to take your measurements and taper the sleeves, and take your blazer in at the waist, allowing for a much sharper fit that is certain to make any old blazer immediately look better.

Even today, after nearly tripling over the past 6 months, Research in Motion (RIMM) remains one of the most hated - and shorted - stocks in the market. Its problems and diminished stature have become so prominent, that the term "Blackberry shame" has been born out of RIM's troubles, and a whopping 86% of analysts still rate the stock Hold or Sell.
To say a lot is riding on this week's unveiling of its latest phone, the Blackberry 10, would be an understatement because this product launch is literally do or die.
"If this thing gets ignored or is seen as a nothing phone, what do you have... a few Playbooks? This thing has to work," says Eric Jackson, founder of Ironfire Capital in the attached video about the Wednesday debut of BB10 as the new device is often called.
He not only admits, but relishes the fact that he has "a more contrarian view than most of the street," on RIM, a position he started in November and believes "still has room to run."
Related: RIM on the Rebound! It's Time to Get Bullish on Blackberry Says Jackson
While pre-launch press has been largely positive, Jackson believes skeptics are overlooking one key aspect that the Canadian phone maker has that other extinct and ailing competitors don't.
"There is a big difference between RIM and (Palm and Nokia), which is that RIM's got this huge installed base of about 80 million globe subscribers," he says. And it is because of this loyalty that Jackson thinks these diehards will continue to support the company they know and love.
"RIM doesn't have to sell many of these things for this to be a huge home run this year," he says, suggesting that if only in 1 in 3 existing subscriber buy the BB10, RIM will earn $4 to $5 per share this year, versus estimates of a loss of 47 cents for the year ending Feb 2014.
And there's another angle in Jackson's earnings surprise story: The carriers. In fact, he says, RIM enjoys 600 carrier relationships worldwide, many of which badly "want to see a third horse in this Android - iOS race."
While not sure what new licensing deals - if any - might emerge in the weeks and months to come, Jackson sees RIM shares headed to $45 and believes this turnaround story will continue to catch people by surprise.
"By the end of this year, RIM could be a pure play software company," he predicts.

Dennis trained his Turtles, as he called them, for only two weeks. Then he gave each of them a million dollars of his own money to manage, and turned each one loose on the markets. When his experiment ended five years later, his Turtles reportedly had earned an aggregate profit of $175 million.
Curtis Faith is one of the Turtles. One of his book is Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods that Turned Ordinary People into Legendary Traders.
Found good trading quotes from this book… with deep meaning.
Here they are:
Human emotion is both the source of opportunity in trading and the greatest challenge.
Master it and you will succeed.
Ignore it at your peril.
Trade with an edge, manage risk, be consistent, and keep it simple.
The entire Turtle training, and indeed the basis of all successful trading, can be summed up in these four core principles.
Good trading is not about being right, it's about trading right.
If you want to be successful, you need to think of the long run and ignore the outcomes of individual trades.
Trading with an edge is what separates the professionals from amateurs.
Ignore this and you will be eaten by those who don't.
Edges are found in the places between the battleground between buyers and sellers.
Your task as a trader is to find those places and wait to see who wins and who loses.
Mature understanding of and respect of risk is the hallmark of the best traders.
They know if you don't keep an eye of risk, it will set its eye on you.
Ruin is the risk you should be concerned with the most.
It can come like a thief in the night and steal everything if you're not watching carefully.
Continue to Part 2.

for the Rest of Our Lives
Deb Faughn
I suppose the phone call shouldn't have surprised me as much as it did. After all, Jim and I have had a shared vision for almost twenty years. I have always advised my students, (when the subject of future relationships come up) that you need to have a life buddy that you can share a vision. Whether that vision is children, travel, a particular sport… well, you get the idea. So on February 24, 2006 when I got the call, I probably should have taken it in stride. Jim said, "Hi Deb, how's your day going?" I said it was a good day and things were running smoothly. He went on to say eleven words that would change our lives forever. "I just wanted to let you know I quit my job today."
Jim isn't stupid, so I knew this wasn't a whim…. and his sense of humor doesn't rank in the top 5 - (it has improved since he stopped working). So when I asked why he quit on this particular day, at this particular hour, he had a very serious and sensible reason that I support today.
As the result, we are in the midst of our shared vision, which is to sail around the world – or at least the parts we want to experience. As you probably are aware, we are in a 34 foot Gemini Catamaran and this part of the web site is an attempt to explain how we prepared to embark on our journey.
First, we told our friends. The reaction from Jim's work people was pretty much the same, "Are you crazy?" or "Is Deb going with you?" The last question always amazed me. Although I loved my job, would you pass up the chance to sail (if you liked to sail) around the world? One of my friends said, Deb, you are a, "Ritz Carlton Girl." Sailing is nothing more than camping on the water and you hate to camp. She went on to tell me that I was much too prissy to sail, "What about your nails, your hair dresser, and your Saturday luncheons at expensive Central West End restaurants??? You are going to hate sailing." Many of our friends and family were sad to see us leave, but were very supportive. Many were perplexed that we could sell everything we had – yes, the house, cars, airplane, and possessions. (We both believe that we are on this earth just renting from God. We really don't own anything, so why cherish it to the point of absurdity?) My sister was afraid that I was going to die. I guess she thought the God of Neptune was going to swallow us whole (just kidding Pat). In any case we needed a plan and began formulating the plan on the evening of February 24, 2006.
First, we agreed that our out date for leaving would be mid October, giving us time to get the boat ready and miss any pesky hurricanes lurking around the coast. I would work until the end of August and Jim's last day was at the end of June.
Next, we needed to sell our house and the contents. But after thinking about it, there was no sense in selling all of Jim's tools, and the basics we would need when we got off the boat (dishes, flatware, etc.) So we purchased trailer that was 10 by 5. Our great friends, Pat and Paul Cook, let us park it on their property. Thanks – we really appreciated the offer and kindness.
Third, we needed a realtor. We knew the one that sold our townhouse to us and liked her very much. I affectionately called her the "Nazi realtor" because the first thing she did was tell us we needed to "de-junk." REALLY "de-junk"….. (I highly recommend her and if you want her contact info, just e-mail us – she sold our house – in a very hard market - in less than 8 weeks.) Well, I didn't really think our house was ever that cluttered, but we ended up filling the trailer with boxes and boxes of "stuff." Knowing fully that when we sold the townhouse, all the "stuff" would have to come back in the house to sell, and the "keeper stuff" had to be moved to the trailer. That was a difficult job – to touch every item that you have and make a decision on everything down to the can opener.
Next we interviewed Estate Sale Companies. Buyer beware, get a good company and check references. Although we had a reputable company, I was disappointed at the end result. I thought we could have done better with what we had to sell. Their networking and marketing skills seemed to be less than adequate.
July and August were just a hard months. Jim was gone much of the time getting the boat ready, I was working full time, and I had to finalize everything in St. Louis. We closed on August 3rd and the buyers tried to nickel and dime us to death. Fifteen minutes from our closing we got a call from our realtor saying the refrigerator wasn't clean enough. So we had to dash back to the house and re-clean the frig. There were a bunch of college kids moving in and I wonder what the frig looks like now????
Our dear friend, Anna Forder, let us stay with her during August. Unfortunately, the second day we were there, she fell and broke her hip. Because we were there, the doctor let her come home early and she is doing fine.
Our dear friends had more than several going away parties (any excuse to drink) and we left for the boat September on Sept. 4th. Marty and Ellen Roberts from Tulsa, Steve and Linda Bennett from Omaha, Tim and Miriam Trycha from Osage Beach, and Cousin Julie and Aunt Sandy came to say one last bon voyage – several more parties later, we departed.
Getting ready to go was no small task. While we were selling the house, and we had the boat hauled to have the bottom "faired" and then new bottom paint applied. In addition, we also had some more voids in the boat filled and new gel coat applied. The people at Green Turtle Bay did a GREAT job on their work and we would recommend them to anyone. The boat has several items that needed replacing – Jim put in all new windows which meant he had to buy the lexan and fabricate eight new windows, he also sewed a new shade cover which covers over half the boat when we get to warmer temperatures, then of course there was the changing of oils and applying a product named PolyGlow to the boat which has made it look like new again. We decided – well, I decided, that we would have one birth serve as a "garage" and the port birth kept as an actual place to sleep – that meant no junk in that room. We did decide we would pack the boat and then go through it and "de-junk" all possible unnecessary items. I was pretty pleased at the result, if anything we are over packed on is clothes and consumables. I thought it was silly to sell cleaning products in St. Louis, just to buy more, so we ended up with some doubles in the boat. The clothes situation was tough because we needed warm clothes going down and summer clothes when we get south. In any case, we have too many clothes and plan to vacuum pack the winter clothes in a few days when we hit warmer weather. We have a small frig and a gadget known as an "Engle."
The Engle is a large cooler that draws very little current and can be used as a freezer. We went to Sam's and bought fish, chicken and a little bit of red meat to freeze. Buying it in bulk was very economical. The small frig holds fresh veggies, cheese, etc… In terms of dry goods, it's really up to personal preference, but know your storage capacity before you shop. I made two trips just to make sure we were stocked, but not bulging at the seams. We like tuna, crab and salmon cakes, green beans, and baked beans. On our way down the waterway we did a lot of soup because it was chilly most of the time. Jim likes cereal and oatmeal. I'm not much of a breakfast person, so I usually eat left overs.
One problem is getting our prescription
drugs. We transferred our prescriptions from West Pine Pharmacy to Walgreen's.
That has seemed to work well, because most major ports have a Walgreen's
and you can order on-line. Jim's doctor prescribed a number of drugs that
we may need in an emergency – not a bad idea if you are off shore for
any length of time.
That's what we did in preparation. These are the highlights, there are hundreds of other details – but so far, I have been pretty pleased at our outcome.
This all seems easy but reality is
we ran out of time and could have spent another week or so getting ready. However,
if you stay until you are ready, you will never leave.

With James we did the traditional teething tablets - then I freaked out when they were recalled and tossed them - so we used an Amber necklace and it worked wonders. Graham was also wearing Amber but he was still MISERABLE! Graham needed something the actually gnaw on - but being me, I wanted to make sure it was natural, soft and was designed for teething babes.
After A LOT of searching I found Chewbeads!
The idea for Chewbeads began in 2009 shortly after the birth of my son. Like most babies, he loved to put everything in his moth and my necklaces were a favorite. Like most moms, I didn't feel comfortable letting him chew on them, with concern that they might break or have unwanted chemicals. As a veteran of the fashion industry, I had an amazing collection of necklaces and bracelets, so with those inspiration, I set out to create soft, non-toxic jewelry, which was colorful, chic and, above all else safe. Hence Chewbeads!
- Beads are made with 100% silicone (similar to pacifiers & nipples)
- Soft on babies gums and emerging teeth
- Easily cleaned with dish soap & water, also dishwasher safe!
- No BPA, PVC, Phthalates, Cadmium, or Lead
- Necklaces have a breakaway clasp for added safety
- Necklaces are a great sensory tool to the your baby focus while nursing
- Bracelets are a colorful reminder of which side you've just nursed
I was sent a Jane Necklace in Ivory to test out and review. I must say - they are very chic necklaces. Chic and simple. Which is what I like.
The beads are a great size - perfect for little hands to grab at and to chew on. Graham was interested in Chewbeads the moment I put it on.
Since the beads are made of silicon, they have a slight "squish" to them. They are very soft - I took a turn nibbling on them and I can see why little gums like to chew on them. Each bead is separated by a knot. This is a great safety feature - if for any reason the necklace breaks, you aren't going to have all the beads fall off. Chewbeads necklaces also have a breakaway clasp. Another great feature. To wash them - you can hand wash with some dish soap or for a really good clean - toss it into the dishwasher.
I have received a lot of compliments when wearing my Chewbeads necklace. The Jane necklace is very simple - but it is very chic and I love that I can wear it with any outfit. I can dress it up or dress down. A plain black t-shirt and jeans for running around or pair it with a super cute nursing dress say for Easter and you have one awesome outfit! LOVE IT! You can add a second or third necklace in coordinating colors to add interest to any outfit as well.
They have a great selection of styles - and they even have bracelets - which is another product I REALLY want to try. They have super fun, bright colors that will make any little one excited!
Connect with Chewbeads!
Thank you Chewbeads!

Other ways in which my memory problems are troublesome is when I get lost going places I have been many times before. I get very confused and make wrong turns and must pull over and think. My son always tells me to just use my GPS in my car, but I have been here so many times it is not a new place, I don't need directions. I get sweaty and so out of sorts that by the time we get to our destination I am completely disoriented and exhausted. My spelling also has suffered not that I was ever a proficient speller, but I could spell simple words that I must look up or ask my husband how to spell. I have even forgotten how to tun on my car. A year or so ago, I was sitting in my car ready to go somewhere, of course I don't remember where, and I did not know how I was going to turn on my car. With keys in hand I sat in the drivers seat and I was looking for a button or switch or something that said ON. Yes, I was this confused, after about 5 minutes of frustration I found the key hole and looked at my keys, and found my aha moment, Opra so brilliantly spoke about during her show. I knew then that this was a real problem not just a normal laps of memory.
Here is some information on Lupus Brain issues....
kim nault - lupus brain fog - the lupus magazine
Understanding the Unseen Realm of Lupus Brain Fog
by Kim Nault ©
First published in The Lupus Magazine
An estimated 70-90 % of SLE patients will experience the infamous lupus brain fog. This is the most common form of central nervous system involvement in SLE and can be mild to severe, and vary from person to person. The lupus brain fog is classified as a manifestation of organic brain disease and is of one of the 19 manifestations of NP-SLE/neuropsychiatric SLE that has a broad spectrum of manifestations, including psychiatric disorders and neurological syndromes of the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems. Each manifestation is vast and complicating and far outside the scope of this sole article.
Sadly, the actual field of NP-SLE is still in its infancy, there is not much research done on this vast topic and not too many doctors fully understand this form of organ involvement. Many assume that the brain fog of lupus is just some quirky annoying problem, that it is not that bad, not that serious of a problem. For more than half the patients with brain fog it will be a quirky, sometimes an annoying and even at other times a comical issue, but for others it will be very disabling. In addition, lupus brain fog notably fluctuates with and without disease activity.
I have heard many heart-wrenching stories, of patients whose very own doctors have ignored or even minimized their conditions and complaints as mere irritants. Some medical practitioners do not regard the lupus brain fog as a disabling issue that reduces their patient's quality of life. This is unacceptable. Lastly, if such large amounts of lupus patients are living and battling with the lingering consequences of brain fog, than why isn't someone in the research field really pounding the scientific pavement for us to pinpoint the exact cause of this and yield our patient population better treatments? We deserve better diagnostic tools and therapies in our lives while we try to climb out of the trenches of the cognitively challenged.
There are also a high number of lupus patients with the secondary Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome/APS/Hughes Syndrome as well as those with concurrent fibromyalgia, both who seem to encounter more obvious signs of the insidious brain fog. There are many running jokes among patients regarding the effects of the brain fog monster in their lives. While we have to admit that some of the brain fog incidents are indeed hilarious and even downright entertaining to our loved ones there yet remains the silent population within the brain fog group who are overwhelmed with the mental and emotional impairments brought on by NP-SLE.
The lupus brain fog can cause:
• Cognitive Dysfunction (impaired abstract, concentration & reasoning skills)
• Short-term Memory Loss
• Verbal Fluency Dysfunction (difficulty finding words)
• Confusion
• Impaired Recall
• Depression
• Anxiety
Patients struggle with the cognitive impairments and the ripple effects that it has on their lives. To some patients it is embarrassing, frustrating and certainly regarded as incapacitating. I recall a forum discussion where Angie Phillips (NP-SLE/APS patient-advocate, founder/ creator of Ardent Cerebrations: Musings of Lupus Survivors!), earnestly explained that for her, the disabling effects of NP-SLE have been far more devastating than that of the pain caused by SLE. That she has incurred more disability from the cognitive issues relating to CNS lupus, that she would gladly take the pain and have her mental faculties restored to the way they used to be. I too, have described to my loved ones that I have teetered on near organ failure and have accumulated physical impairments, but not to have the consistency of my cognitive sharpness and verbal fluency has rendered me more defeated than anything else I have ever faced.
A few months ago, while at my primary doctor's office we were discussing organic brain disease and she explained that neurologists had discovered that commencing to treat stroke patients with SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) antidepressants immediately following stroke promoted faster neuron repair and recovery from their strokes. She surmised that if antidepressants use was benefiting recovering stroke victims than people with organic brain diseases will also benefit from using them. Before you scoff at the idea of swallowing yet another pill, you might consider having a frank discussion with your doctor about whether you may or may not benefit from taking an antidepressant.
If you have a health insurance coverage that will cover neuropsychological testing, you may consider having that done. Once the tests are completed, the psychologist will make recommendations of activities that you can do to exercise areas of your brain that are affected by the brain fog. I know some patients who do brain games to exercise their minds and keep themselves as sharp as possible. There are very good games on the internet developed by neurologists and neuropsychologists, and a small amount of time surfing the Web may provide you with a good site to frequent. Do understand that lupus brain fog will wax and wane, some days will be better than others will. Do not be hard on yourself!
Coping and Strategizing – Lupie Cognitive Survival Tips:
• Do not multi-task (it can prove dangerous)
• Do not overbook your daily schedule
• Do not over commit yourself
• Prioritize appointments/events/activities (don't double book things on the same day)
• Determine your peak energy time of the day (schedule needs around that time)
• Reduce background noises when needing to focus
• Use only one calendar (mark doctor's appointments in one color)
• Set timers for reminders (cellular phones and your PC have different applications)
• Note pads (one for pocketbook, one for computer desk and one for kitchen countertop)
• Keep things simple
• Learn to say "no" (we do not have to commit to every event or activity)
Do not be hard on yourself! Explain to your loved ones about your frustrations and concerns with how lupus is affecting your cognitive abilities. Some of our loved ones may even have simple suggestions to simplify things in our lives, which may foster better memory and peace of mind. Please do not try to tough things out on your own; this will not produce great results. Be willing to ask others for assistance with things. If you are a type-A control freak of a Lupie, try the Zen Lupie practice of not being a control freak! Living with a chronic illness while life whirls about us, can be at times very stressful. How often do I forget that quality of life begins right smack between my very own ears? As in life, some days will be easier than others will and when we lose our way, another veteran patient stands ready to hand feed us morsels that will lead us out of darkness and place us back on the path of inner strength and hope.

DNA results and matches of my grandfather, Willard Darrell Wakefield, and my grandmother, Phyllis Ruth (Stage) Wakefield.
Willard Darrell Wakefield's DNA Test Results
*Also known as DYS 394
**On 5/19/2003, these values were adjusted down by 1 point because of a change in Lab nomenclature.
***A value of "0" for any marker indicates that the lab reported a null value or no result for this marker. All cases of this nature are retested multiple times by the lab to confirm their accuracy. Mutations causing null values are infrequent, but are passed on to offspring just like other mutations, so related male lineages such as a father and son would likely share any null values.

"The stand out thing about Sachin sir that i remember, even after so many years is his attitude that any problem, either in maths or in life can easily be solved. Taking the fear of maths out of students is no mean feat and I have seen Sir doing that on a very regular basis. Trumath is a result of his great love and passion for numbers. I sincerely hope that his engaging methods demystify the monster that is mathematics for as many scared students as possible. I wish the endeavor all the very best"
Raghoo Puri, IAS
"Sachin sir has been one of the finest mathematics teacher I have seen across my experience as a students and director of an educational institution. He works on your capability to understand and apply the concepts rather than mug up a few formulas and sums. I owe my understanding and love for Maths to him in a lot of ways. His video lectures are also very interactive as they are backed by years of experience and understanding of the subject and student behaviour. I am sure anyone who gets in touch with him through his video tutorials or personally will gain a lot."
Ruhani Murria
"Teacher : Also referred to as guru. During my course length, spread over the years 2001-2003, I caught myself, amazed and dazed at his capabilities as a teacher, "He is the real GURU of mathematics". From an average non-medical student to where i am today, this journey has an eminent role played by Mr. Gulati. "
Akshay Katyal, Research scholar
"I took math coaching from Sachin Sir during my 11th and 12th standard. He is the best maths teacher one can ever have because he used to make maths so much simple. I used to hear my seniors who used to tell me that maths is going to be one of the toughest subject to crack in JEE, but it never seemed so. We were never supposed to cram anything, any formula. There was never a fixed way of doing any maths problem. It was all about using our own minds in the best possible ways and exploring the possible solutions. I always felt if I could get such type of maths teaching in earlier classes itself, maybe I would have done even better. I would always be grateful to Sachin Sir for teaching in such a wonderful way. His initiative *Trumath* can definitely help thousands of students out there to get accustomed to thinking the right way to solving a problem instead of cramming stuff. Once student studies maths the way he teaches it, one can never be afraid of the word *MATHS*"
Paavini Nanda, B.tech -NSIT Delhi
Subjective Homework Questions
We believe that mathematics learing happens when a student actually solves questions on her/his own, instead of simply watching a teacher solving them. So, every student will be given 2-3 assignments a week as homework. The homework will be checked by our team of experienced teachers and students will be guided accordingly

We arrived at the hotel quite early at around 11 o'clock. Someone from the hotel was to bring us to Yamatogawa Shuzouten (大和川酒造店) in Kitakata City.
After leaving our car keys with the hotel, Mr. Takahashi, front desk clerk, gave us a ride to Yamatogawa Shuzouten. On the way to Yamatogawa, however, we wanted to have lunch. Kitakata City is famous for its Kitakata ramen, and, in addition, there seemed to be anything to eat that could be recommended.
We didn't need to waver in our decision, and decided to eat Kitakata ramen at Kiichi as recommended by Mr. Takahashi. According to him, Kitakata ramen generally uses soy-sauce based soup. However, he recommended Sio Ramen of this restaurant, which is salt-based. He said they were using special salt, which was contained in the hot spring waters springing somewhere in the mountains beyond the Atsushio-Onsen district.
After being seated at the counter, I ordered Sio ramen according to his recommendation, and Sio ramen came after a while. To my surprise, the ramen included five slices of pork in spite of the fact that it was not a char-siu-men but a mere ramen (char-siu-men is a ramen topped with sliced roast or boiled pork, while an ordinary ramen usually includes one or two slices). "Just a ramen includes five slices. Then, how many does a char-siu-men of this restaurant?" "Fifteen? No way! I don't think people want to eat that many. Maybe, special pork?" These thoughts were my light-minded guesses. Anyway, this ramen was nice. The rather thick curly noodles well caught the salty pork-based soup, and the noodles and soup came together in balance to my mouse.
After lunch, Mr. Takahashi took us to Yamatogawa Shuzouten. This brewery is making sake under the brand name of Yauemon (弥右衛門). I had already drunk this sake and I knew it was rich in taste with a flavor of koji.
To be precise, the place we visited was "Yamatogawa Hoppou Shiryokan" (大和川北方風土館). These facilities were once used for sake production but are currently used as facilities for sake brewery study tours for visitors and a concert hall. The facilities also include a sake tasting corner and souvenir shop. According to the guide, their sake production place has been moved to another place, which is called Iide-gura (飯豊蔵).
The guide woman ushered us into the facilities, giving us a routine explanations about their brewery and sake making. The building was divided into three major parts: Edo-gura, Taisho-gura, and Showa-gura. In the oldest Edo-gura, the thick, long pine beam supporting the roof seemed to be something they boasted of. Anyway, her courteous and comprehensible explanation during this tourism-focused sake brewery tour was somewhat boring. However, this was a necessary time for us to undergo before reaching the sake tasting corner, where we could try various types of sake from this brewery for free. Thus, finally, long-awaited tasting time started.
Kasumochi Genshu Yauemon from this brewery was brewed by using almost twice the amount of koji rice than average sake, and its rich graceful sweetness deriving from the koji rice left a quite pleasant impression. However, I didn't want to drink sake with such sweetness too much. Instead, I rather prefer Junmai Karakuchi or Honjozo Chohkarakuchi. And, I bought Muroka Junmai Ginjo Nama Omachi as a souvenir.
By the way, Mr. Takahashi wrote a blog article about our visit to Yamatogawa Shuzouten.
After returning to the hotel, we took a hot spring bath, and then gathered in a small room, where our dinner had been prepared. The hotel kindly allowed us to bring sake bottles that we got this day in the room and we could enjoy our favorite sake with the foods. I had heard Aizu was famous for basashi (raw horse meat), and the hotel, knowing we were heavy drinkers, prepared basashi for us. However, I am not very good at raw meat, and I asked our waitress to grill my meat. They kindly accepted my request.
In addition, of course, that bottle of Muroka Junmai Ginjo Nama Omachi that I bought several hours before was completely emptied on the same day.
