In case you were wondering, they really have been busy, those little gray-skinned androgynes with the almond-shaped eyes in the oversized heads -- not only saucering in whenever they want to and sucking up whomever they please but also performing abominable experiments on us in their orbiting space labs, fertilizing our eggs behind our backs, sticking implants that look like tumors into our feverish brains, and making our noses bleed. All this plus dolphins and hypnotherapy, not to mention wheat that glows in the dark and crop circles that say "howdy."
On the other hand, it may be that aliens mean us no permanent harm. They just don't know any better. They crossbreed to batch up a better evolutionary product, like square tomatoes. They need us to complete themselves, like an acrostic. And this fiddling consumes a lot of time, at least four generations for three different families in places like Montana, Nevada, and Texas, amounting to twenty hours over two weeks on the Sci Fi Channel. Fortunately, though I haven't seen them all in the rough-cut version of Steven Spielberg's Taken, there will be plenty of special effects to keep us from thinking too much. After which, except in dreams and deep regressions, we won't remember anything anyway.
To be fair, I enjoyed these many hours even as I deplored them. Narrative is my last remaining addiction. Ten different directors and dozens of actors get to play in the twilight zone before superpsychic 9-year-old Allie (Dakota Fanning) is raptured up to the great beyond in a column of blue light. By the time we reach this teleportation, relatively familiar TV faces like Michael Moriarty, James McDaniel, Matt Frewer, and Eric Close will have come and gone. We are left with the bereft (Emily Bergl and Adam Kaufman, who don't even know that they've had sex till they go into group therapy) and the evil (Heather Donahue, who has graduated from the Blair Witch bitch to a mad scientist willing to kill anybody who interferes with her career goals).
It's not just that Taken has bought into every loony tune in the UFO canon, from the preborn-polliwog look of the alien invaders to a government cover-up at Roswell and everywhere else. (In fact, by the end of these two weeks, the American military will have abducted almost as many civilians as the E.T.'s have.) It's that Taken apparently intends to be an anthology of those tunes, the authorized CD of late-twentieth-century mythomanias, all paranoia all the time, lacking only that sense of humor we could count on to show up once a month on The X-Files.
So put Taken into the time capsule. When the alien anthropologists actually do arrive to inspect our ruins, they should bring along a missing perspective: Each of our ages coughs up its fur ball of anxiety in a form appropriate to its imaginative resources -- a phantasmagoria of faeries, goblins, trolls, gnomes, and freaks; of wild men, wolf boys, zombies, and witches; of triffids, pods, blobs, and body snatchers. Devil worship and demonic possession! Fluoridated water and socialized medicine! Our millennial lot has been alien abductors and satanic day-care teachers.
To whom we might very well add the serial killer in The Mermaids Singing, the first of three adaptations of Val McDermid mystery novels on BBC America under the umbrella title of Wire in the Blood. All three TV movies feature Robson Green, who did much the same sort of thing in Touching Evil, as Dr. Tony Hill, a clinical psychologist turned criminal profiler, and Hermione Norris (Mad Cows, Cold Feet) as Detective Inspector Carol Jordan, whose partnership with the tormented Tony verges on the personal before veering off. First up, they must figure out who in the north of England is kidnapping young men, not all of whom are gay, then torturing them with medieval instruments like the rack or strappado, and finally videotaping their death agonies (snuff films with production values). Not for the squeamish, but remarkably well done.
After which, we will probably need Young Dr. Freud, David Grubin's two-hour documentary on the Abe Lincoln of psychoanalysis reading Cervantes and snuffling cocaine while Martha peels an apple. There is nothing new here for a reader of any of the standard biographies -- not surprisingly, the day his father died was fraught -- but some lively opinionizing by granddaughter Sophie Freud, historian Peter Gay, and biographer-analyst Elisabeth Young-Bruehl. Liev Schreiber is the voice of "Sigi"; Blair Brown jollies us along. Did you know that Carl Jung believed in flying saucers?

So… it didn't happen on August 17 as I previously said it would. Unfortunately Ben has been really sick for what feels like most of winter (to me, so must feel longer for him); on the plus side he is now back in the water and feeling good; however there was a period when we thought he'd be back in form to do a belated swim if postponed to September 7.
Training for me went pretty well in the lead up to this big swim: I did a lot of cold water over winter including 6 hours at Balmoral 2 weekends prior to this swim. While Balmoral is beautiful and it was a warm(ish) sunny day, endless 3km loops breed a dislike of this affluent picturesque harbourside suburb! Still, I should never stop appreciating quite how fortunate I am to live somewhere where I can swim all year round in my choice of readily accessible open water locations!
I had taken the preceding 2 weeks in the lead up to this swim off work. This was partly because Jen went on holidays with friends to Thailand for 2 weeks and I stayed at home to hold the fort. The downside of this is that Jennie was not able to paddles for me as originally planned… just means I'll have to do it again. This allowed me to get some pretty intensive pool time in during the the last 2 weeks and also it gave me an opportunity to plan and execute the extensive logistics. Never think a swim of this scale is a case of putting on a pair of goggles and jumping in the water; everytime I plan a swim it seems more complex as I assimilate learnings from previous swims (and from the encyclopaedic knowledge of James Goins): deciding on route (not as simple as "get in at the north end get out at the bottom": there are big healdands/reefs and one needs to consider to get around them while not swimming too far from shore); planning and agreeing upon safety procedures and signals between crafts and swimmers; borrowing sharkshields, whistles, flags, radios; locating and transporting a kayak; planning parking/ground transport; contingency plans; borrowing nappies off a friend (to serve, along with big cable ties, as insurance against the worst of all misadventures: a shark "incident"); feeds planned, documented and prepared; kit packed, unpacked because I thought I'd forgotten something, repacked, unpacked again etc. How much zinc will I need? Do I have enough painkillers? Why is my left shoulder niggling? When do you find time to carb load in all of this? Working would've been a nightmare on top of this.
As always with swims we watch the forecasts… as we had 6-8 weeks of (unseasonably warm) sunshine and flat seas leading up to this weekend, it was inevitable that the forecasts would go a little wobbly in the last week: On Saturday 31 August some forecasts were predicting 35-40knot winds… pretty far from ideal. Eventually you find a forecast that gives you the answers you want and true to form seabreeze.com.au was there, prediciting variable direction winds that dropped from a maximum of 18 knots on Monday to 6-11 knots by Friday. Similarly the promise of clouds and showers improved along with my spirits (after a brief 2 day period where I'd convinced myself the swim wasn't going to happen, took my foot off the metaphorical motivational pedal and entered a short burst of denial). By Friday evening, apart from a vague threat of early southerly winds the conditions looked great.
The day of the swim we met at Palm Beach surf club to launch the 2 kayaks at 6 am. Paddling were Martin Vavrek (Vladswim coach and all round great guy), Mathieu Debieuvre (friend of Rachael's) and swimbuddy Ben Hutt. On "The Truck" (the boat beloved of many Sydney marathon swimmers) we had Cap'n John Oliver and Nic Piha (my EC handler extraordinaire). Leaving 2 paddlers at the surf club we hotwheeled it around to the ferry wharf to load up the Truck with all we needed. In addition to Rachael and I, Daniel Boardman (another Valdswimmer and EC aspirant) had decided to come along, ostensibly just to swim with us for a few kms and enjoy the views. During a nervous, exciting 20 minute trip around the imposing Barrenjoey Headland we liberally applied zinc and lube, consumed last minute gels and quietly reflected on the challenge ahead.
We had decided to swim to EC rules (budgies, cap, goggles, no assistance, no physical contact) and in true English Channel style, we jumped from the Truck about 150 m from shore and swam to the beach and onto dry land. A moment's focusing of the mind and into the water for the next 8+ hours. We parted company pretty soon after getting in the water so I can only attest to my experience; Rachael has become a significantly faster swimmer than me in recent months and we knew what our plans were in the event of separating: one kayak with each swimmer, neither swimmer out of visual range of the Truck. Dan, being a faster swimmer than I kept pace with Rachael and soon I could not even see their bubbles, only the ocassional glimpse of Matt's head or paddle ahead of me. The best early advice I received from Ben and Nic on the boat was "stop worrying about keeping up with them, relax and enjoy your swim"… but it does take a while to get into this headspace!
As so often is the case, the first hour (or two) are the toughest: you need to get your mojo and your rhythm, you worry about little niggles and pains, feel a bit tight and are too present in the moment rather than entering the meditative zone that I think most marathon swimmers enter when they are at their best. The first hour took me past Wahle Beach, the second hour past Bengally headland and the "Hole in the wall", a cliff-walled bay that reflects swell in multiple directions. I spent the first hour worrying about my (self-perceived) slow pace, running mental calculations about how long it would take me and wondering why that felt so far from here and now. I spent the second hour battling a little wind chop and the reflected swell from the headland. However after Bengally headland and breaking into open water my distance from shore and headlands only increased until Long Reef which was still another 12km and 4 hours south! But along with distance from shore increasing conditions improved: at times glassy and nearly flat.
Feeding from the Truck went really well and was good training for Nic and I, with Nic documenting my feeds and feeding time at every stop… mostly around 30 seconds, alternating between milo/maxim and flat coke. Some gels and fruit cups thrown in and the occasional nutella sandwich. Feeds went by quickly and often I questioned Nic when she stopped me for a feed: surely it hadn't been a half hour already? I think I was smiling at every feed! On the flip side, while time flew by the headlands did not… when you are that far from shore (over 2 km when we swam past Narrabeen) you can see headlands that look parallel to you for a long, long time before they actually are and then take a fiendishly long time to pass! Long Reef in particular can be seen about 12 km before you reach it; every feed you think "two more feeds and I'll have passed it"; at one point I though someone must be dragging it south away from me!
Martin paddled with me for the whole distance; paddling for 25km in itself is a pretty damned great achievement! He also provided real time feedback on my stroke and I grew to recognise two of his hand signals pretty well, signalling "keep your armpit open during your catch" and "finish your stroke fully". Invaluable stuff but every time I breathed to the right and saw his gestures I cursed him in my mind "leave me alone, let me swim how I want!!" However I wouldn't change it for the world!
At some point not far north of Long Reef Daniel joined me, having decided to do the full 25km but to finish at my pace rather than Rachael's; having taken a more direct route to Long Reef than Rachael who had hugged closer to the coast, I had more or less caught up, so moving sideways to swim with me was not that tough…
Despite catching a brief but enjoyable supporting current at Long Reef (which lasted for about 2 km) it was a tough swim, particularly the last 2-3km, where as I was on "home territory (Curl Curl) I thought I was home n hosed, so couldn't understand why the hell I wasn't at Shelly? At one of my last feeds I was totally incoherent in reply to Nic's question about whether I wanted solid food; in the end she thrust a nutella sandwich at me and I spent the next half hour worrying that she would tell me I had to get out because I wasn't making sense, so I commited myself to being coherent and saying something insightful and thought provoking at every other feed stop I ever make! She told me it will take a lot more than not answering one question coherently for her to allow me to get out!
The arrival at Shelly was a great feeling having loved every bit of my swim (even the bits I hated at the time!) Its a weird feeling to walk on to a beach packed with families enjoying a spring Saturday on the sand, having swum since before many of them had even got up that day and none of them pay attention! In a way you expect a hero's welcome… a fanfare certainly played in my head as I finished! 8h15 min for a little over 25km; very proud of that time which is a little over 3kmh with feeds!
Hitching a ride back to Palmie from John was a great way to revisit my 8 hour swim in about 50 minutes, passing many dolphins, watching the headlands and beaches fly by; what a feeling!
All in all I would say it is the most enjoyable swim I have ever done, for the views, the distance, the experience, the invaluable channel training; I would like to think I'll do this at least once again prior to the channel next July… but at the moment I shudder when I think about doing it!

Leaders Meet in Stockholm to Discuss Water Sustainability
Primary tabs
Leaders Meet in Stockholm to Discuss Water Sustainability
Global leaders have converged in Stockholm, Sweden to discuss the challenges the world faces in relation to water usage. The World Water Week is hosted and organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) and takes place each year in the Swedish capital.
At the outset of the event, the leaders have put out a press statement, calling for substantial increases in public and private sector investment to reduce losses of food in the supply chain, enhance water efficiency in agriculture and curb consumer waste. More than one fourth of the water we use globally is taken to grow over one billion tons of food that goes wasted, alongside costs to grow, ship, package and purchase that food. As the world is headed to hit a nine billion population mark, which will put an enormous pressure on ecosystem services, we need to reduce food waste, increase productivity and plant breeding, and waste water recycling mechanisms.
Amind the framework of the event, the UN Global Compact's CEO Water Mandate announced the release of its Corporate Water Disclosure Guidelines, a pioneer initiative in the field of corporate water disclosure. Companies are looking into ways to make their operations more water efficient and responsible. The UN Global Compact CEO Water Mandate's Corporate Water Disclosure Guidelines has been designed to help advance a common approach to corporate water disclosure that addresses the complexity of water resources in a comprehensive yet concise and practical manner.The Guidelines suggest that companies offer several types of water-related information, which are captured in the document, which was developed in collaboration with the Pacific Institute, Carbon Disclosure Project, PricewaterhouseCoopers, World Resources Institute, and Global Reporting Initiative.

May 16, 2012
I am writing to protest the raise in CEO pay and the lack of a meaningful raise for the workers in each of these companies. The ratio of CEO pay to the average worker pay is out of control and needlessly spends the stockholder money. They are not worth the amount they and their cronies on the boards award each other.
In the late 1800's and early 1900's this was called Interlocking Directorships and was illegal.
I believe you have the authority to effect change in this area. Please do so.

Police have confirmed they are treating a fire at a flats complex in Belfast as suspicious.
A neighbour living above the ground floor flat escaped from a window after smelling smoke from below on Friday evening.
The fire is believed to have started in the bedroom of the apartment on the Ardoyne Road area of North Belfast.
A PSNI spokesman said police received a report of the incident shortly after 5pm on Friday.
The Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene and extinguished the fire, but extensive damage has been caused to the property.
He added that investigations were ongoing into the incident "which is being treated as suspicious".
Detective Sergeant Michael Hawthron has appealed to anyone who noticed anything suspicious in the Ardoyne Road area, or anyone with information concerning the episode, to contact police at Musgrave on 101 and quote reference number 961 on the 25/11/16, or to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Bewdley Town Council
Town Council opposes Bewdley housing development
Bewdley Town Council
At its meeting on Monday night (3rd October), Bewdley Town Council's Planning Committee unanimously decided to reject proposals to build a 195 home estate off The Lakes Road in Bewdley.
Gladman Developments put forward plans to build a new housing estate on a green field site to the West of Bewdley, adjacent to the ancient Wyre Forest and Site of Special Scientific Interest. The estate would include a mix of housing types including affordable housing and family homes with associated recreation areas. The homes would be built across an existing public right of way connecting the West of the town with Dowles Road and the River Severn.
In summing up Councillor Derek Killingworth, Chairman of the Planning Committee said "the development has the potential to increase the number of vehicles using the road network by hundreds of vehicles per day. The affect this additional traffic would have on the Welch Gate Air Quality Management Area would be unacceptable, as is the proposed single access to the development off The Lakes Road". He added "this Committee is also satisfied that Wyre Forest District Council's five year land supply is up to date, and that this development is not needed in order to meet this requirement".
In a statement, the Mayor of Bewdley Councillor John Beeson said "I'm satisfied that the Town Council's Planning Committee came to the right conclusion after diligently looking at all the pros and cons. The proposed outline application doesn't reflect the community's wishes according to our emerging Neighbourhood Plan survey, and the site is not allocated in the District Council's current Local Plan. I acknowledge that we need more housing but we must ensure future developments are of an appropriate scale and in the right location".
There were many other equally relevant and pertinent arguments discussed by the Planning Committee including visual impact, the effects on wildlife, pressure upon local schools and services, the historic landscape and the impact of the proposals on the Bewdley Conservation Area.
A spokesperson for the Council added "the Town Council are in the process of producing a Neighbourhood Plan for Bewdley which will give the community the power to decide the location and size of new housing developments. Results of the recent survey released before this application was submitted show that large developments of this kind and in this location are not supported by the community".

Kitty Washroom
by Edwin
I always thought that cats hate baths, and the Kitty Washroom wavered by conviction but for a moment. Apparently, it is nothing else but a fancy toilet for your precious feline friend.
Hide the messy litter box inside this handsome piece that instantly enhances the look of your bath, kitchen or laundry room. Designed with wainscoting in a clean, white finish, it has a 7″x8″ portal for kitty. The front swings open like a door so you can easily scoop or change the litter. Two shelves offer added storage and display space; the stainless steel towel bar is a good place to hang your scoop. Accepts any litter pan up to 18″ x 15″.
You can pick up the Kitty Washroom for $99.95.

Party, party
There's been a lot of this at work this week. I normally go in closer to 10am and finish later but living on the student bus route into Manchester means that during Freshers Week and for a few weeks after it's mayhem around my usual travel times. So I've been leaving to get in for 8.30 and taking breakfast with me with lots of overnight oats so I can just grab the jar from the fridge. The flip side is that I can finish at 4pm which has freed up essential time that I need to finish some artwork for an exhibition I'm having in a few weeks.
There was a very happy event this weekend. My nephew and niece turned two! My sister asked me to make their birthday cake using this Food Network recipe. It made a big cake and at one point I was worried that it wasn't cooking through the middle. I kept it in the oven for longer than the stated cooking time, covered the tops with foil and it turned out fine.
I was really pleased with it in the end and it seemed to go down well at the party.
The decorations are little fruit flavoured stars made by Humdinger that I picked up in Lidl. I also noticed them for sale in Aldi too this week. I finished off the sides with Humdinger White Chocolate Buttons.
I was pleased to see this lady on the buffet table. She was always a highlight of our childhood birthday parties. My gran made her from a skittle and you fill her skirt with biscuits. Check out the mini packs of vegan friendly jammy and choccy dodgers in there!
Edit: Boo just looked at a packet of the mini Jammy Dodgers and unlike the full sized ones they have Whey in them so they're not vegan - how annoying, I just don't get why companies do that! It's like Oreos being vegan in North America but nowhere else. Anyway, the Choccie Dodgers seem ok so I will be finishing the leftovers of those with my teabreaks at work this week.

Beer Tasting
Fantastic beers await craft beer enthusiasts at Gordon Biersch! Their hand-crafted and brewed to perfection beers pair amazingly with their extensive restaurant menu. We'll take care of the reservations and driving, so you can enjoy the Gordon Biersch experience to the max!
Gordon Biersch is a top brewery you should include in your beer tasting tour. This distinguished brewery uses only the highest quality Weyermann Malt from Bamberg, authentic Bavarian Hersbrucker hops and pure filtered water to craft their beers according to the high standards of the German Purity Law. We were taken aback by some of their specialties like the Golden Export, a light and refreshing lager, the Hefeweizen, a traditional German wheat beer, the Schwarzbier, a dark lager with a dry, roasted coffee finish, the Marzen, a Bavarian lager with a mildly sweet Munich malt finish, or their Czech Pilsner, a medium-bodied Pilsner which is bold, spicy and bitter.
If you also want to have a snack with your beer, they have dome delicious dishes that belong to the typical American cuisine and not only. Some of our favorites were the wonton chips drizzled with sweet teriyaki sauce, their crunchy bruschetta, and the Ahi Tuna Nachos. This brewery lures clients with its beverage and food variety and their super offers: they've got several happy hours throughout the day that you would definitely want to benefit from.

Stelzer, J., et al., Statistical inference and multiple testing correction in classification-based multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA). NeuroImage (2012), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2012.09.063
There is a lot in this paper, touching some of my favorite topics (permutation testing, using the binomial, searchlight analysis, Malin's 'random' searchlights).
But in this post I'll just highlight the searchlight shapes used in the paper. They're given in this sentence: "The searchlight volumes to these diameters were 19 (D=3), 57 (D=5), 171 (D=7), 365 (D=9), and 691 (D=11) voxels, respectively." The authors don't list the software they used; I suspect it was custom matlab code.
Here I'll translate the first few sizes to match the convention I used in the other searchlight shape posts:
|number of surrounding voxels
|This looks like my 'edges or faces touch' searchlight.
|This has more voxels than the 'default' searchlight, but less than my two-voxel radius searchlight. Squinting at Figure 1 in the text, I came up with the shape below.
Here's the searchlight from Figure 1, and my blown-up version for a two-voxel radius searchlight.
my iterative rules, but perhaps would result from fitting a particular sphere-type rule.

I really like this month's CodePen challenge, all about HTML elements that go well together. First up:
del and
I'm not sure why but I genuinely love this Windows 95 style interface for Instagram coded up by Gabrielle Wee.
Suggestions for small interface tweaks.
There's going to be a CodePen meetup in Brighton as part of the Brighton Digital Festival. Should be fun! See you there.
We don't want the field to de-democratize and become the province solely of those who can slog through a computer science degree.
So we need new tools that let everyone see, understand, and remix today's web. We need, in other words, to reboot the culture of View Source.
This is a really great screencast on getting started with React. I think it works well for a few reasons:
There's a little bit of "here's one I prepared earlier" but, on the whole, it's a great step-by-step approach, and one I'll be returning to if and when I dip my toes into React.
Form validation taken to the extreme. If you want to know more about how it was done, there's an article explaining the markup and CSS.
Here's a handy interface if you want to get your head around named areas in CSS Grid, also known as doing layout with ASCII art.
Incredibly impressive work from the CodePen team—you can now edit entire projects in your web browser …and then deploy them to a live site!
This is a clever technique by Dave—use viewport units to make a lightweight lightbox.
Here's another clever CSS technique. It uses flexbox to add horizontal lines either side of centred content.
This is witchcraft. I've been deconstructing the CSS to figure out how this works and it's really clever.
(Hint: try commenting out some of the CSS and see what happens.)
Here's a nice little pattern from Dave—showing data tables one column at a time on smaller screens.
I quite like this step-by-step interface for a form, all cleverly handled with the
:focus pseudo-class. I'd want to refine some of the usability issues before using it in production, but the progressive disclosure is nice.
Well, this is rather wonderful! A one-stop-shop for exploring UI patterns on CodePen …this is going to be time sink.
You can do anything with CSS these days.

With nuclear apocalypse looming over the world, several vaults were constructed to contain the best and brightest of humanity. By being shielded from the imminent death, the offspring of these people could reclaim and repopulate the Earth. However, before the entire network could be completed, nuclear war broke out. One of the vaults became militaristic and technology-driven. Using their superior weapons, they were able to claim the surrounding wasteland. The members of this vault formed the Brotherhood of Steel, an organization dedicated to unlocking new and better technologies.

Ali Hale serves as an inspiration for today. She's the guest writer for Men with Pens under the post, How to Improve Your Writing. Ali suggested that the best way to improve as a writer is to keep writing. As any writer, I'm going through a dry spell. Musing over the keyboard, wondering what witty post I have for the day, fumbling over ideas, start pushing buttons on the keyboard, then resign in disbelief that nothing — no inspiration for the day.
Writing everyday, consistently, and inspired is such a huge challenge. Especially when you often suppress your inner voice because "I think this is what my readers want to read but am I writing it well enough to keep them reading?." I have to try an advice from Chris Mower. He said,
" Years ago when I first started writing, I had a hard time knowing what to write or even how to portray that writing on paper with my voice. I was afraid of what other people would think (even in my personal, triple-password protected journal I was destructively careful).
I finally broke that chain when I forced myself to write down my thoughts: the good, the bad, the ugly, the sinful, the religious, and the downright embarrassing. I realized in that moment that I had a voice aching to break out."
Ali also mentioned that a great writer must be a great reader. Find stories or copies that inspires me as a reader would then have me wondering why I'm so captivated by the writer's work. In turn, I can find great tips and advice to help me get better.
Just Keep Going… what a great food-for-though for a Friday.

Tanya's set menus always include a fruit course an entree, and hot bread. Our fruit courses incorporates as much locally-grown, seasonal produce as possible, including apples, peaches, blueberries, blackberries and plums grown on Peace Hill Farm. Breakfast entrées are served family-style so that you can enjoy as much as you choose. Our eggs come from free-range, happy Peace Hill chickens. (You're welcome to visit them after breakfast!). The hot bread of the day could be muffins or Peace Hill biscuits, made from a generations-old family recipe or rosemary-strawberry scones made with herbs picked from our garden.
Breakfast for two can be served in the fireplace sitting room or on the screened back porch upon request.
Tanya might choose to present one of the following fruit courses, all served with hot breads:
- Bananas sprinkled with nuts and drizzled with honey and served with seasonal fruit
- Orange cup filled with local berries
- Crepes with fresh fruit
- Breakfast tart with assorted berries and mascarpone cheese

- Orange-pecan French toast served with orange-maple syrup

Afternoon tea features home-made scones, tea sandwiches, fruit-topped tarts and teacakes, with a selection of teas.
Dinner begins with salad and homemade dressing with good bread; your entree choices include Southern-style pork chops or tilapia en papillote. Or you might prefer a dish influenced by Tanya's Cuban heritage: chicken and yellow rice (arroz con pollo), Picadillo (Cuban ground beef dish with golden raisins, olives, tomato sauce base) served with rice, or black beans and rice and roast pork. Your choice of red, white, or sparkling wine may be added at an additional cost from our upscale winelist. A luscious dessert and tea or coffee always follows.
Your hosts are also happy to help you make dinner reservations at one of Charles City's casual restaurants nearby, or at one of Williamsburg's fine eating establishments, less than 30 minutes away by car.

Today I woke up at 6am (probably the jet lag) and read until everyone else had woken up. We then had breakfast and at 9am Michiko dropped us off at Himeji Castle. We paid for our ticket (I paid less since I'm 16) and proceeded to visit the place until 1pm. Once inside, we came across a volunteer guide and we decided to join her, just the two of us! Her name is Yasuko Endo and she was very nice to us and explained a lot about the castle! I understand now why it is considered the most beautiful castle in Japan now after seeing its white plastered walls and black hued tiles! No wonder it's also called the Flying White Heron! The fact that it was never attacked and never got damaged by earthquakes or WW2 makes it even more remarkable. It was restored and became open to the public only in March this year! So we were really lucky to go inside! I really enjoyed myself! If you ever come to Himeji, this is the place to visit!
Later, when we finished the tour, we went walking towards a nearby Starbucks where Michiko would pick us up, but since we were a bit early, I wanted to take a detour and came across this neat little retail centre where we spent some time and I bought some things. We then waited for a bit at Starbucks and went to eat at a restaurant with Michiko-san! At about 3pm, we left the house to go to a hotel in Awaji Island with Michiko-san, who had business there, to stay the night (stopping for a while to admire the view)! The hotel is amazing, with an indoor swimming pool and everything!
We had a lot of fun and at 8:30 pm passed out on our beds. We are still getting used to the time difference I suppose! (x_x)

base color: 2 coats nyc fuchsia glamour over 1 coat sinful easy going
gold stamping: maybelline color show metallics bold gold
image plate: pueen 33 (top image)
i guess i'm stuck in a stamping pattern- whenever a polish has gold shimmer, i feel i just have to stamp over if with bold gold. not very innovative, but still pretty :). i thought this cherry blossom image was sweet enough for a baby shower (plus i'm partial to anything with cherry blossoms on it because of my japanese background).
on a side note, do you notice anything weird about the picture above? look at the gold polish- it's labeled "holographic". . . . what the? i picked up a new bottle of bold gold because i already used up my old one for stamping, and this time, it has a different label. i've looked at this new one from every angle, and believe me, there is no hint of holo anywhere. it's exactly the same as the bottle labeled "color show metallics." why maybelline decided to falsely relabel it, i'll never know. . . .
well, better go get cracking on those thank-you notes! enjoy your thursday :).

Tiny hiney….
Since Avery was a little baby, my husband has done a cute little saying while tapping his bottom. He squeezes his bottom and says "whos got the tiny hiney, right here!" While saying the phrase he squeezes in rhythm . Well, I guess it has stuck with Avery…….the other day, Avery comes up behind me and taps on my bottom while saying "whos got the tiny hiney, right here!" (perfectly in rhythm as well). At least sweet little innocent Avery is still convinced. I on the other hand see a whole different picture daily!

Skilled futurist Jason Hope has recently written an e-book that will help people understand the technological web that has been woven around them through their devices. The Internet of Things, or IoT, has been very compelling topic for Hope. It is true that when new devices are released, people line up to acquire them. They want the latest technology, and many are obsessed with sharing certain aspects of their lives through them, so features are important. The IoT thrives in this era.
The IoT is a good thing for society. Hope's e-book, entitled Understanding the Internet-of-Things Revolution: A Quick Guide for Thriving in the IoT Era" is intended to highlight that importance. The e-book, which can be purchased at Amazon.com today, is a plethora of technological information. It teaches readers about what is included in IoT, how to use their IoT devices, and how to stay secure in the IoT world. This makes the e-book a valuable guide to almost any technology user.
The IoT is a network of interconnected devices that possess the ability to communicate. When thinking about this concept, most people will reference their cell phones and computer, but there are countless other devices that are IoT enabled. Such devices include vehicles, appliances, animal tracking products, and cameras. If the device is transmitting data, then it is on the IoT network. With all these varied devices, it is easy to see why Hope's section on security in his e-book will be essential to most readers.
This large web of connects is why IoT will be so important in the future. The IoT devices that are present in society are only expected to grow exponentially in the future. In fact, by 2020 many experts believe that there could be upwards of 30 billion devices with the IoT network being globally valued at over 7 trillion dollars. The IoT will be a staple in the future and users should make sure that they are prepared to navigate it competently.
Hope is not only a skilled businessman, he is also a very dedicated philanthropist. Throughout his career, he has successfully grown companies and managed several large businesses, but he has always been interested in helping others. This most recent e-book is the embodiment of that desire. While Hope continues to work hard in his industry, he also wants to use the knowledge he has gained to help users become more confident in the technology.

I tried to post this on the Mad As Hell Doctors website in support of a single payer health care finance system, but they don't seem to like it… It is awaiting moderation…
The missing detail is what I call "Professional Caregiver Insurance Risk."
Small insurers are terribly inefficient risk managers. Their loss ratios vary far more than loss ratios of large insurers. That is important! It is the reason insurance works.
Soooo, when you have lots of small insurers or you transfer insurance risks to health care providers through managed care, capitation, DRGs or PPS, health care providers become our insurers.
But inefficient insurers have lower probabilities of earning profits, higher probabilities of incurring operating losses, and higher probabilities of insolvency than larger, more efficient insurers.
So small insurers and insurance risk assuming providers have to reduce benefits to cope with their inefficiencies as insurers.
Why do we need a single payer system?
Its about math… The arguments agains SP are political double speak and Voodoo economics.

Since its introduction by Essie Weingarten, Essie has delighted the colour-obsessed with a love shared all over the world. The three latest collections to hit our shores are absolutely beautiful and are bound to get you stocking up on new favourites. They've covered every trend: there's the Essie Luxe Effects 2017 collection, and the limited edition Treat, Love and Colour – a one-step way to care for and strengthen your nails while wearing four gorgeous, breathable Essie sheers. The collection that caught our eye: If you please fall for Japanese.
There's a reason why the fashion savvy flock to the number one street style destination in the world: taste, flair and Japan's uncanny aptitude for mixing fashion metaphors. If you have the good fortune to be there in autumn, you get the added pleasure of watching the leaves change colour with Mount Fuji in the distance.
The range was inspired by Essie's Global Colour Designer, Rebecca Minkoff's time in Tokyo. She created a collection that reflects the changing autumn foliage and the tastes and energy of Tokyo.
This six-shade palette creates a perfect balance between trendsetting colour and classic looks.
1. Playing Koi – a flirtatious orange rust
2. Maki Me Happy – a crimson-wrapped berry
3. Kimono-Over – an inviting damson plum
4. Now and Zen – a timeless sage grey
5. Mint Candy Apple – a creme de menthe mint
6. Lilacism – a satiny smooth lilac
All the colours in the Essie Fall Collections cost R134,95 each and are available from Clicks and Dis-Chem.
Nail art the Essie way
Rita Remark, celebrity manicurist and Essie Global Lead Educator, created this inspired nail look using the new Essie Fall 2016 Collection. Channel your inner cherry blossom girl with this fun design.
The geisha tassel
1. After a thin layer of Essie base coat, apply two coats of Maki Me Happy.
2. Using a striping brush, apply thin stripes of Mint Candy Apple and Lilacism vertically down the nail.
3. Use the striping brush to create one or two small triangle tassels hanging on each of the lines. Seal with Essie top coat.
Rita's tip: Clean your brush frequently in polish remover to keep lines crisp.
Win with BSA and Essie!
Two lucky beauties can glow the night away with a mini hamper of the Essie Luxe Effects 2017 collection (it contains three groovy shades: In the Mood Ring, Glow Your Own Way and Disco Doll). One coat worn alone or over your favorite Essie colour adds brilliant shimmering glamour. Two coats amps up the drama and creates instant disco fever with kinetic sparkle and shine that doesn't quit. How many coats is too many? Essie recommends: don't stop 'til you get enough. Simply fill in your details below to stand a chance to win.

What do you want from a Screen Door?
- Keep the bugs out and let the fresh air in!
- Be energy efficient and cool your home with a nice cross breeze!
Since 1997 we have installed thousands of retractable screen doors; keeping bugs out and letting the Breeze in!
They choose our screen because the sleek design looks nicer than most others.
The screen durability is second to none with the powder coated aluminum sturdy design.
They can get rid of old creaky screens that pop off the track and put in the Mirage Retractable Screen that blends nicely with their door.
A two inch round canister is mounted on the side of your door and the screen mesh rolls into that canister when you're not using it. When you need the screen you pull the handle across the door and it connects to a magnet on the other side. The mirage screen is there when you need and it out of the way when you don't.
Our experienced installers' custom cut each screen to fit your door. As employees, they do this in one appointment to save you time. Standard doors are 36" wide and up to 83" high. Maximum widths are 55" and heights up to 109".

Young Adult: This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
The story sounds very romantic. I haven't read it yet, but I'm going to start it this weekend. My expectations are very high, this book just has to be amazing!
New Adult: The Wager (The Bet #2) by Rachel van Dyken
Anyone who has read my review of the Bet knows how much I absolutely loved it. If you haven't read the Bet, you should go do it soon. And while you're at it, try the sequel too! You won't be disappointed!
I discovered this series when I was on vacation in New Zealand. I've read the first three books and loved them. It's a fun and lovely series that you should really try if you like vampires.
Chick lit: Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham
I still want to punch myself for not going to Lauren Graham's book signing when I still lived in New York. So stupid! Anyway, this book is a must read for all you chick lit/romance lovers out there.

Go Wild!!
Hello, it is time for a challenge over at BBTB2, and I thought it would be fun to make a card or project featuring animals. There are alot of cute animal images out there and alot of fun things to do with them. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Come and join us!!! I used the card base from my Silhouette Cameo and used the side step card. The grass and tree is from Zooballoo, and the animals and sentiment were from Create a Critter. I got the lion from B is for boy, the fence from Artbooking. I sued quite a few cartridges, but in Design Space, it is easy to put them together. This was definitely a fun card to make. tfl.

Hello! Tis Vanessa here with you this week and HEY!...we just heard the outrageously fabulous news re Australian playwright Alana Valentine!
YAY ALANA! and congrats X 7 from all of us on winning the STAGE International Script Competition for best new play about science and technology. The play is called Ear To The Edge Of Time and was selected by a panel including Tony Kushner, David Lindsay-Abaire and Donald Margulies.
Also, just wanted to remind people about the book of monologues that 7-ON published this year (with the lovely people at The Federation Press). No Nudity, Weapons or Naked Flames is available at all brilliant bookshops like the one below...MacLeans in Beaumont St, Hamilton... Or why not go straight to the source by clicking on the little picture on the side of our blog which should send you here.
No Noodles (as I fondly, yet erroneously, refer to it sometimes) is chock-full of chewy monologuey goodness and also it made Miranda Otto go "Wow"* so that's a good thing, right? If you're auditioning for something or presenting your wonderful self and your acting talents in front of, say, a board of performing arts judges, or perhaps just looking for something to serve at a very smart dinner party between the main course and dessert then THIS IS YOUR BOOK!!!
*no honestly it did, it says so right on the cover: "Wow what a great book... Miranda Otto"

As you all can see, I do a lot and I mean A LOT of reviews. I passed the 150 mark and I still have more to review. Sadly, I recently realized that I have deserted one retrospective that I wanted to do. The series I wanted to do a review on besides the Yakuza and Prince of Persia series is the Ratchet and Clank series, since a Crack in Time might have been the last game in this series. I decided to get back on the ride with this retrospective and review the next game in the series, Ratchet and Clank Going Commando. Released a year after the first game, Going Commando continues the franchise that's held on the back of a humanoid lombax and a small sophisticated robot. I thought I would never say that, ever. Anyway, let's dive into Ratchet and Clank Going Commando and see how this sequel does.
The story starts us with a "behind the music" parody called Behind the Hero as the episode stars Ratchet and Clank. It shows us what has happened between this game and the first game. It seems that our two heroes have been more relaxed after the whole "we saved the universe" ordeal. So, yeah, they're not as popular as they once were, kind of like John Romero's career after the release of Daikatana. Ion Storm and John Romero, even though you are now defunct and not famous anymore, consider yourself Burned! Anyway Ratchet gets a call from Megacorp to get back a certain experimental product from some thief. It is up to Ratchet and Clank to go commando and find out what is going on with this experiment that was stolen. The story is long, and it has a lot of different plot twists that are somewhat expected, but some are interesting, so it's worth playing the game to see what happens.
The gameplay is in the form of a third-person-shooter, mixed with some puzzle and platforming segments. You still have your handy wrench, which can now be swapped for stronger wrenches during the entire game. You gain a whole new assortment of weapons, like the mini-turret glove, gravity bomb, and a lot of other great gadgets. If you have saved data from the last game, you can easily gain some of your old weapons from it, like the bomb glove and other weapons. Just like the last game, you can play as Ratchet and you can play as Clank through different areas of the game. There are also gladiator sections of the games, where you can earn new gadgets and some bolts. There are other sections, like racing and hacking mini-games, where you can unlock things and win some more gadgets. There are Rogue Squadron-style space fights, where you earn an element that can help you upgrade your ship with more weapons, stronger shields, and better wings. This game definitely delivers more content than the last game, but let's talk about the graphics and the other parts of the presentation.
The graphics definitely look a little better than the last game, which sometimes you can hardly tell by today's standards, but there are a few areas where this game has done better in its presentation. The voice acting is even better than the last game, and the one major improvement that they made was to replace Ratchet's voice actor, which was a stroke of genius since I HATED his last voice actor. Instead of "freaking Mike Kelley", they brought in James Arnold Tyler, who I think does a better job with Ratchet's voice. If you have an eye for voice work, you know that James did Tidus' voice for Final Fantasy 10, Wooldoor Sockbat from Drawn Together, Green Arrow, Master Disaster from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and Gabe Logan from the Syphon Filter series. David Kaye has returned to do Clank's voice and again does a great job. Before I continue, I want to talk about Ratchet and Clank's relationship. It is definitely more like they are friends and are more likable than the last game. We also get new voice actors like Kath Soucie who voices Angela, the thief who stole the experiment, Jim Ward who voices Abercrombie Fizzwidgit, Steve Blum (heck, yeah!) who voices the Thugs-4-less leader. Voice acting has always been a high note in this series and it doesn't disappoint here. The humor in the game is downright funny, and when it wants to be, it can be really gut busting hilarious. I say that this game has one of the funniest scripts of all time, and it's not because the voice acting sucks like Resident Evil or other games that have lousy acting, but the script itself is really funny. I laughed at a lot of the inside jokes and other jokes that are in the script. David Bergeaud does the soundtrack for the game. He has also done soundtracks for games like Disruptor, Resistance, and the rest of the Ratchet and Clank games. Overall, this game has a great presentation.
However, there are a lot of things that hold this game back by today's standards. This game, in the end, gets really difficult. The sole reason for the difficulty is that in the ending levels of the game, it is basically hoards of enemies and annoying puzzles. It forces you to grind to upgrade your arsenal and make all your weapons the best. The camera control is also an issue from time to time where it just doesn't work out. Another big issue is that the machines you ride are sometimes hard to control. It's like if you don't move the right way, you skydive to the ground and whatnot. It gets annoying really fast. Because of this, the space battles seem unfinished, like they might not have tested this area of the game enough. To me, personally, the story drags on. It's like, hey, this looks like it's going to be the last level, no, wait, this is going to be the last level. For me, it drags on more than it should have.
So, that is Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. What do I think of it? While it is a lot better than the last game, it still has its faults, though the fun levels and great humor cover up the faults. While I wouldn't recommend the first game, I would rent this game from Gamefly.com or something. If you like to collect games, you can probably get this game for cheap. All and all, this is where the series is now getting good for me, so now, I must play some other games of this series and other games since it's a full time job to review games.
This game gets a solid 8 out of 10

National Geographic released a minidocumentary, "Treating Animals with Acupuncture,"1 in early 2016. The video highlighted veterinarians learning acupuncture from one of the long-term equine practitioners in the field, Dr. Kevin May, who stated in the interview: "As far as the things we treat most often, [those] are the things that respond the most. So musculoskeletal problems, pain, nerve damage. … Acupuncture stimulates the body to heal itself. [That's] pretty much it in a nutshell."
A growing number of veterinary schools offer equine acupuncture in their teaching hospitals, including Colorado State University, the University of Illinois and the University of California, Davis.
Illinois assistant professor Kara Lascola, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVIM, in a recent issue of The Horse discussed opportunities for healing that acupuncture brings to her patients. She stated, "I mainly use acupuncture to help manage chronic pain associated with musculoskeletal problems, such as back injuries, although it can also be used in management for other conditions, such as laminitis or neuropathies."2
Further, she described the improvements she witnessed in an equine patient diagnosed with chronic back pain when acupuncture was added after corticosteroids and shockwave therapy failed to produce sufficient improvement.
Effects of Hippotherapy
In addition to treating horses used for pleasure riding and performance, acupuncture can provide significant benefits for those working in therapeutic riding centers. Horses involved in hippotherapy experience their own stresses and strains, and they must compensate for the added impact of the non-equestrian rider who may have physical, cognitive or emotional dysfunction.
Many of the human participants in hippotherapy sessions have disorders of movement. Over time, these children or adults may show improvements in posture, balance, mobility and sensory processing.3 However, this work can take a toll on the horses. Bearing the weight of an imbalanced and potentially unyielding rider means they have to continually adapt to unevenly distributed forces.
Can acupuncture help these horses? A research review from 2012 reported that over 4,000 U.S. veterinarians practice acupuncture.4 The authors found over 10,000 English-language papers pertaining to acupuncture science and theory, with nearly 300 specifically related to veterinary medicine.
They wrote, "Despite the challenges inherent in designing clinical trials for acupuncture (e.g., difficulty blinding a study and standardizing a single treatment for all animals in a group), research supports the use of acupuncture as a safe and effective treatment for many disorders in animals."
Regarding musculoskeletal pain, particularly in performance horses, the authors stated that clinical trials involving electroacupuncture (EA) "provide clear, scientifically based evidence that three sessions of EA treatment can successfully relieve signs of back pain in horses and the analgesic effect can last two weeks. In contrast, medicating with oral phenylbutazone alone did not effectively relieve pain."5
What One Study Found
Since that review, more research has emerged. A 2016 study published in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia compared the effects on lameness of three acupuncture treatments over eight days to no treatment.6 Two board-certified surgeons, blinded as to treatment status, reviewed videotapes of the horses moving. Results showed that acupuncture reduced hip hike differences under all conditions and led to other objective and subjective improvements as well.
Of course, not all equine acupuncture studies reveal positive results, just as studies on drugs and surgery are not uniformly positive. This does not mean the treatment itself is invalid, but instead causes us to question whether the methodology is faulty, the numbers are too low7 or if acupuncture is inappropriate for the condition in question.
No Gallbladder in Horses
Another challenge facing equine acupuncture pertains to misleading nomenclature. One paper described the analgesic effects of needling local and distal sites along the lateral aspect of the horse where both bipeds and quadrupeds frequently exhibit myofascial dysfunction.8 In acupuncture parlance, this linear and often tender connective tissue route corresponds to the "gallbladder meridian," as denoted in humans. However, horses have no gallbladder.
Furthermore, while acupuncturists who practice Traditional Chinese medicine have adopted the term "meridian" to describe the acupuncture pathways, the word "channel" serves as a more accurate translation of the Chinese term "jing-luo," connoting correspondence to nerves and vessels, not mysterious energy routes.9
By recognizing the neuroanatomic basis of acupuncture, we can take that information—i.e., that acupuncture works through a process known as neuromodulation—and design needling protocols capable of helping normalize nerve function, balance autonomic tone and relax both body and mind. However, extrapolating the human acupuncture point matrix onto the equine form poses several challenges that call for careful anatomic research.
First and foremost, the distal limb of the horse differs dramatically in both form and function from the human. As such, several sets of points located on four out of five digits on the human hand and foot have no comparative location in the horse.10 This limits veterinarians' ability to extrapolate and test comparative locations across species and requires a fresh approach to point location and nomenclature.
Extra Vertebrae
Other challenges posed by anatomical variations involve paraspinal points identified by their vertebral locations. The equine thoracic spine has six more vertebrae than does the human, leading to a curious placement of points seemingly determined by convenience of needling rather than actual neuroanatomic relevance.11 These points that closely parallel the spine exhibit somatovisceral and viscerosomatic relationships to internal organs by dint of crosstalk between somatic and visceral interneurons within the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.
Precise mapping of autonomic nervous system and internal organ networks in the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord of the horse would greatly improve the reliability of treatment effects associated with acupuncture on the equine back.
Moreover, as stated by the author in the article "One Medicine, One Acupuncture," "Reconciling inconsistencies [between human and non-human acupuncture maps] will bolster the ability for researchers and clinicians to better understand and interpret findings from acupuncture studies on various species so that more can benefit from these insights."12

Palmer's Playground
After starring on six winning teams, Arnold Palmer will drop in on the K Club with an extra dose of curiosity. Palmer designed the course on which the matches will be contested, and is eager to see how the players respond to his creation.
August 11, 2006
STRAFFAN, Ireland (PA) -- Arnold Palmer has confirmed he will attend next month's Ryder Cup -- which is being played on the Palmer Course, which he designed, at the K Club near Dublin.
The American great turns 77 on Sept. 10 but will travel to Ireland for the Europe vs. United States clash less than two weeks later.
"I am very much looking forward to watching the matches and seeing how the players respond to competing on what I consider one of my best golf courses," said Palmer.
"With some of the changes we made for the Ryder Cup, the K Club has so many strong holes and I think it's going to produce an exciting competition," he added. "I think the players will enjoy the challenge there."
Palmer's record in the Ryder Cup is one of the most distinguished in the history of the event. In six appearances starting in 1961 and ending in 1973, Palmer was on the winning team each time, playing in 32 matches and winning 22, the most by an American player.
"I'm extremely proud of my Ryder Cup record. It meant a lot to me and it still means a lot to me," he added. "From the day I first started playing, I thought that representing your country in a major golf tournament was one of the most important things I could do in the game. I still get all choked up now thinking about how much I enjoyed it, how much fun I had playing and how I enjoyed winning for my country."
When asked for words if wisdom for U.S. Captain Tom Lehman, Palmer remained humble.
"All I can say to Tom is that once the matches begin there isn't much he can do, which can be frustrating," he said. "All he can do is help the guys prepare as best they can and try to put together some teams that click.
"The rest is up to the guys on the course," he added. "I expect a close contest and as the guy who designed the golf course I suppose I'll have a little extra curiosity about what goes on."

At Coface Romania, in October, the potential damages to commercial risk insurances skyrocketed to a total 16 million lei from only 2 million.
"Lehman Brother's collapse blocked the financial system and halted lending in Romania. All banks put a stop to credit lines and notifications for potential claims to pay increased rapidly", said Cristian Ionescu (photo), chief executive of Coface Romania.
According to Coface, the economic crisis is most likely to last around two years.
"The global crisis erupted at the end of 2007 and it will probably be over by the end of 2009. In 2010 economies will stabilize and start growing again. Romania fell into financial crisis when Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, last year in September, and will emerge from crisis this time next year", said the head of Coface Romania.
Since it began operations in Romania, Coface covered total claims of 16 million lei, 11 mln of which were paid, and 5 mln lei were technical reserves. The average claim recorded by Coface Romania was approximately 150,000 lei.
"Since we started operating in Romania, we recorded 11 claims for credit insurance in which there was nothing we could do, 100 of them were insolvencies and 10 are underway', said Cristian Ionescu.
