This time, however, was quite different than the several hundred other times I have done that. This time someone purposely recorded the conversation and made it available for you to listen to it. Why? I can't really explain that, but I do know who did it and where to find it.
The Packfiller Podcast is a production of Packfiller Productions, a company that primarily does live announcing for sports events, but also produces a podcast that mostly (but a long way from exclusively) talks about cycling. Here is what they say about themselves:
Packfiller Productions has been a live event announcing and multimedia entertainment organization since 1999. The company aims to bring the highest live event entertainment and quality announcing services, along with laughs, information, and news from the outdoor lifestyle. Our services provide a true spirit of fun, professionalism, and encouragement to all competitors. Promoters of events we announce constantly comment on the 'spirit of fun' that our announcing provides, and brings back participants year after year.
Packfiller Productions offers announcing services that can make your event truly special, along with the ability to broadcast your event LIVE on either our web site, or yours. Friends and family can watch competitors from anywhere in the world! Our announcers have over 25 years of quality experience, ranging from World and National Championships to great, hometown venues.So, in part because of the brewery support for cycling, but also because they strongly suspected that we would provide free beer samples, we were invited to talk about our beer, do a tasting with Pat and Mark (Mark Hodgson) and be guests on the Packfiller Podcast. Actually, we did the podcast in two parts, with the first being an interview with those of us who work at the brewery and the second being people drinking beer and talking about cycling, but including the founders of the cycling club. To hear the second part, go to iTunes or one of the other podcast broadcasters or go here: http://packfiller.com/2013/03/08/on-location-with-beer/.
To hear the first part, um, well, this is embarrassing, but the recording file was corrupted and we have to re-record that part. It is possible, in my mind at least, that Pat corrupted the file on purpose as a way of getting us to provide him with more beer, but he says that is not the case. I even promised more beer if I didn't have to do it again, but that didn't make him change his tune, so maybe there really is something wrong with recording, but we are getting together with him soon and talking about beer again, so stay tuned, same bat-channel, same bat-blog, for more news as it develops.
In the meantime, enjoy the podcast and go to Packfiller's Facebook page and let them know whether to invite us back again.

I first discovered Metronomy several months ago when they opened for some band I now remember nothing about. Metronomy's set was all zany dance routines, strobe lights and outlandish outfits. I was hammered, they were awesome; it was love at first sight.
But what really stuck with me was just how good their music is. As it turns out, most of the tracks I was digging are from the group's second album, Nights Out, released last week. Genre-wise, it's all over the place (electro, funk, rock, and disco all feature) but the overall quality of the album's 12 tracks easily places it among my favourites of 2008.
First single 'Radio Ladio' (video below) was released in the UK way back in November 2007 and three other Nights Out tracks have subsequently been released as EPs, the most recent being the insanely catchy 'Heartbreaker'. 'The End Of You Too', albeit not one of the choices for a single, makes good on the promise that Foals made a while ago but never totally deliver on. It's real electro-fied indie rock, and it is awesome.
Metronomy - The End Of You Too
Metronomy - Heartbreaker
The band is about to embark on a European tour, returning to London for a show at ULU on October 31st.
Oh, and by the way: Metronomy don't yet have a North American label, so if any of you aspiring music-industry types are looking for a winner you might want to consider putting your money on this horse.

"Hearbreaker" is too catchy for its own good - in fact that's what making me fall deeply in love with Metronomy right now.
But it'll have to wait. I want Monday to come so I can get out there and grab Ladyhawke before anyone else!

13 January 2017 09:37
Please note that Switzerland is now officially associated to the Horizon SC1 as well. Swiss participants are therefore eligible to receive Horizon 2020 SC1 support. Please see details in the note here.
Topic DescriptionSpecific Challenge:
Effective health care and prevention may be improved by additional evidence as to the most effective health interventions. Growing numbers of patients affected by chronic diseases also call for efficiently managing co-morbidities.Scope:
Proposals should compare the use of currently available preventative or therapeutic (pharmacological as well as non-pharmacological) healthcare interventions in adults[1]. While there is no restriction on the diseases or interventions to be the focus of proposals, preference will be given to proposals focusing on interventions with high public health relevance and socio-economic impact, i.e. interventions addressing conditions that are particularly frequent, may lead to co-morbidities, have a high negative impact on the quality of life of the individual and/or are associated with significant costs or where savings can be achieved. A cost effectiveness analysis must be included. Given the focus on existing interventions, proposals will aim to contribute to improve interventions, take decisions about the discontinuation of interventions that are less effective or less cost-effective than others, and make recommendations on the most effective and cost-effective approaches. A comprehensive array of clinical and safety parameters, as well as health and socio-economic outcomes (e.g. quality of life, patient mortality, morbidity, costs, and performance of the health systems) for chosen populations should be assessed. Agreed core outcome sets (COS) should be used as endpoints in conditions where they already exist, in other cases efforts should be made to agree on such COS. Randomised controlled trials, pragmatic trials, observational studies, large scale databases and meta-analyses may be considered for this topic. Where relevant the study population should address gender as well as socio-economic differentials in health and/or any other factors that affect health equity.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 4 and 6 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.Expected Impact:
This topic is to provide the required evidence base for:
- more effective and safer interventions at individual and population level;
- enhanced compliance with healthcare interventions in the adult population;
- the use of health technology assessment methodology in this target group.
In particular:
- Improvement of individual patient outcomes and health outcome predictability through tailoring of interventions.
- Improvement of guideline development for prevention or treatment of diseases and the management of comorbidities.
- Provision of more accurate information to patients, caregivers and prescribers.
Socio-economic science and humanities
[1]Screening and / or the involvement of elderly populations are not excluded.
Topic conditions and documents
Please read carefully all provisions below before the preparation of your application.
- List of countries and applicable rules for funding: described in part A of the General Annexes of the General Work Programme.
Note also that a number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in some Horizon 2020 topics (to check funding conditions, follow the links to Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Hong Kong & Macau, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Taiwan, USA*).
*Note that US participants in projects under the Horizon 2020 "Health, Demographic Change and Wellbeing" Societal Challenge are automatically eligible for EU-funding according to the provisions in the relevant work programme
- Eligibility and admissibility conditions: described in part B and C of the General Annexes of the General Work Programme.
Proposal page limits and layout: Please refer to Part B of the standard proposal template.
- Evaluation
3.1 Evaluation criteria and procedure, scoring and threshold: described in part H of the General Annexes of the General Work Programme, with the following exceptions: The thresholds for each criterion in the second stage of a two-stage call will be 4, 4 and 3. The cumulative threshold will be 12.
3.2 Submission and evaluation process: Guide to the submission and evaluation process
- Indicative timetable for evaluation and grant agreement:
Information on the outcome of two-stage evaluation:
For stage 1: maximum 3 months from the deadline for submission.
For stage 2: maximum 5 months from the deadline for submission.
Signature of grant agreements: maximum 8 months from the deadline for submission.
- Provisions, proposal templates and evaluation forms for the type(s) of action(s) under this topic:
Research and Innovation Action:
Specific provisions and funding rates
Standard proposal template
Specific evaluation form
H2020 General MGA -Multi-Beneficiary
Annotated Grant Agreement
Essential information for clinical studies
- Additional provisions:
Horizon 2020 budget flexibility
Classified information
- Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in annex L of the Work Programme. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
- Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs.
- Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.

text: Here in Canmore, we just got a foot of snow. It's definitely beautiful. It's cold. It's icy. There's certainly something special about cold dry winters, no doubt about it, walking in weightless white fluff, the kind of snow that you can barely feel when you walk, but you can hear it squeak under your feet with each step. The air is definitely much thinner here than I am used to in Squamish, and there's a lot more red noses too. I might even say the air is more "energetic" than our thicker coastal kinfolk. But also, there's a comfort I find in BC that I can't get in Alberta. A grounding of sorts. We are lucky to have such easy access to these diverse climates. The temperature is supposed to drop to minus 16 tonight, and I found myself looking at old pictures. Below is a collection of pictures I took on one single day in Squamish. It was winter, and the fog created a natural diffusion of light, it seems everywhere I looked, I saw something beautiful. Yes, even a pick up truck looked worthy of a picture to me. Sorry there's no rocks, or climbing, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.

Feeling Flat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih61MJ72v1Y One thing I've always said when it comes to me is, if you want to know how I'm feeling, the easiest way by what music I'm listening to.

Mood Swings & Life Changes.
Today, my moods have been swinging so hard and so fast that most times I can't hold onto any emotion for longer than about 30 seconds. I've been mostly swinging between anger, frustration and basically feeling numb. It's so frustrating but mainly I swing between being angry and calming down into a weird kind of… Continue reading Mood Swings & Life Changes.

Anxiety is NOT my friend.
Today has been an anxious day. For no reason that I can decipher I've had a panicky feeling in my chest and like I want to run. Somewhere. Anywhere. I constantly feel shaky and sick and its horrible.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris "developed feelings" for each other while she was still married to Ben Indra.
The Guardians of the Galaxy actor – who has been married to the actress since July 2009 – admits he felt a magnetic connection to her when they first met on the set of Take Me Home Tonight in early 2007 even though she was still with Ben, whom she started divorce proceedings against in April 2007.
Although there was a definite spark, Chris is adamant the pair didn't "cross the line."
Speaking to the new issue of ELLE magazine, he said: "It was like magnets. Our personalities meshed, she was a goofball, she liked to have fun, it was impossible to offend her … We were friends first but she left her husband at the end of the movie, and we started dating when we were back in Los Angeles. So we were friends, and I was there for her. And we had just played love interests, so we had this tight bond spending so much time and spending nights in Phoenix, but we never crossed the line. But we were, I think, developing feelings for each other at the time, you know? The day that she told me she was leaving her husband, I knew I was going to marry her."
The 35-year-old Hollywood know realizes that Anna, 38, was always "The One" for him.
Chris – who now has a two-year-old son Jack with Anna – is convinced they're soulmates because they share so many connections and similarities,
Recalling how he felt as he bonded with her on the set of Take me Home Tonight, he said: "I just remember thinking, 'Wow, in another life, that's who I want to be with – we would be so good together, I just know it.' … (It was stuff like) I found out she grew up 20 minutes from where I grew up, and I was like, 'That's crazy.'

A number of startups have had some success by leveraging social media as part of their CRM initiative out-of-the-box. I can see why it's such a sound strategy. If you're a successful startup, it means your company has properly identified an addressable market and customer base; a customer base you want to be actively engaged in.
The problem is startups often stumble when they get caught up in the inward strategic processes and technologies. Social media, by its very nature, provides a catalyst to refocus a company's efforts outward, and in the process, allow a smaller business to find out what the market is really thinking about.
In short, social media can act as a springboard into a more mature CRM strategy by giving startups the market perspective of what customers think. And while I'm not suggesting replacing an SMB CRM suite with social media outright, it can act as a foundational guide to establish a more developed CRM strategy during that critical period of rapid growth.
In other words, CRM isn't going to help a company generate tons of revenue from Day One. A basic contact management and sales tracking tool coupled with freely available social networking tools can increase a startup's chances of success and help define its future investments by helping it take an outward focus on the market.

For those of who were South of the Border this week, here's an update on Halloween. And not the good South of the Border in South Carolina with sombrero rides.
There's an old Civil Was Fort behind our house that's a good place to walk dogs on Sunday mornings because the squirrels are fat and lazy from their church pot luck lunches and there's a good chance they can get caught and murdered in Brown Dog's mouth. That's right, we are back to hating squirrels.
This past Sunday, it was again an unsuccessful hunt for BD. But not for everybody. There's some large raptor that also lives in the park and I witnessed with my own eyes it catch and destroy a squirrel for breakfast. It was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom at its most satisfying.
Obviously, I'm still upset about this pumpkin thing from last week. While I doubt the squirrel that perished on Sunday was the one that butchered my project, I'm hoping that they were related. Perhaps a brother-in-law? But one that he had gotten really close to after his sister got married. He even asked him to be in his fantasy football league this year. And now every week there's that painful reminder when his dead brother-in-law's team loses because no one can figure out how to hack in and replace the players who have byes. I hope he makes the playoffs and knocks out the best team by accident even though he's dead and in a falcon's stomach.
Contrary to what some people may think and even say, AM did not win Halloween. Naturally, she had a good run even though at the end of the night she looked less like the Hipster Grifter and more like a hairy chested Spock offering oral handjobs. Up to last Saturday, she had things wrapped up. But then I got this:
I know last Saturday was technically a week after Halloween so many will argue that my entry is too late. But look at this thing! It looks like so many other things! So many other things that are not pumpkins! And I got it a place called Cox Farms!
I even saved it from a certain death. Kids were trying to throw it underneath a tractor in the hopes it would get squished. They cheered and hollered as other unloved pumpkins met their demise. But Ben and I used our magical powers to prevent it from getting slaughtered by a hayride. It danced like a wave on the ocean through dozens of passing wheels before I was able to rescue it.
Would you have thrown Klimt's The Kiss under a tractor? No, you would have not. Especially if it looked like balls. Or boobs even. That's why all kids are idiots.

After a good long couple of months stretch of sleeping really well, Claire is back to waking up screaming in the wee small hours. She goes down to sleep just fine, but wakes around midnight, fusses a bit, then falls back to sleep for another stretch, only to wake up crying and miserable.
Can't decided if it's the teething, the about-to-crawl state of mind or something else. Nightmares? Separation anxiety? Fear of the dark?
I wish I knew, and I wish she would sleep better again. It's making for a very tense household.
On the other hand, we've been letter the cats into the bedroom at night, and they are keeping me nice and warm at night. Awww.
Mission Statement
We are a people who tell stories in one form or another.
After all isn't blogging just another way to gather around and tell those stories?
Motherhood is Painless is about finding the humor in the every day. In finding the happiness in those stories that we tell. What would happen if we *all* learned to laugh at ourselves? Maybe then the dark corners would recede a bit and we would all rejoice at the love we find there.

Oh, man. Sleep issues. They dominate EVERYTHING. With five kids, it seems like someone is ALWAYS having a sleep issue of one kind or another. Eventually the issue passes, and then there's a break---and then a fresh issue!

Hi there, could anybody tell me how to compile a program and run it using Visual C++ 2005?
This is what I have done:
-File, New, Project;

On Friday January 20th, Lincolnville's Willie Galimore Recreation Center located at 399 South Riberia Street in St Augustine will be the site of a public ceremony honoring the 29th year that the City has received the designation of "Tree City USA" from the National Arbor Day Foundation.
While National Arbor Day is celebrated on the last Friday in April, individual states hold ceremonies on dates better suited to their own tree-planting season. Florida's Arbor Day is celebrated on the third Friday in January. This year that is January 20th.
Historic City News readers are invited to attend the brief ceremony; including the planting of a tree by city officials, presentations by the city's Street Tree Advisory Committee, and musical selections from students of Ketterlinus Elementary School, beginning at 11:00 a.m.
During the past 28 years of Arbor Day ceremonies, over 75 trees have been planted as part of St Augustine's annual Arbor Day ceremony. There are 160 cities in the State of Florida that have received the designation of "Tree City USA" but only 10 have received the designation longer than St. Augustine.
The site for the annual Arbor Day ceremony and the types of trees planted changes from year to year. The trees to be planted at the Willie Galimore Center include Live Oak and Southern Red Cedar.
A standing tradition at the conclusion of the ceremony will be an appearance by Smokey Bear; who will assist in the distribution of a variety of saplings to those attending — including Southern Red Cedar, Live Oak, Sycamore and Red Maple.

LOOKING A little more serious, isn't it? Chief justice swearing in senators as jurors. Henry Hyde delivering impeachment papers. Somber newscasters referring to the president by his full name, including the middle one. No sign of the president admitting to perjury. And yet, a lot of Americans probably believe this thing, now in the hands of the grown-ups, is going to end next week in some sort of wrist slap.
Two-thirds of the 100 senators - there are 55 Republicans and 45 Democrats - must vote to convict Bill Clinton if he is to be removed from office. Twelve Democrats would have to switch over to the Dark Side and find the president guilty.
Anybody think that's impossible?
Oh, yeah? You want to put your lunch where your hunch is? I'll take that action, just to make it interesting. (I'm picking Jacksonville to make the Super Bowl, too.)

Manchin says he won't take a position in the Trump administrationLeave a Comment
West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says he had a very productive and informative meeting with President-elect Trump at Trump Towers and is humbled by the job offer but he will not take a position in President-elect Trump's administration and will instead stay in the U.S. Senate.
The grandson and great-grandson of immigrants, Manchin — taken from the Italian "Mancini" — calls his delicate walk between his party and his own identity a journey of "balance" and "common sense." And he attributes his success to his small-town upbringing and experience as a state legislator, secretary of state and governor dating back to 1982.Read More
CIA: Washington Post Report Linking Russian Government to Trump Election Hacking Is "Outright Lie"
Leave a Comment
The Central Intelligence Agency is declaring the Washington Post's much-hyped story linking the Russian government to hacking the presidential election to help Donald Trump an "outright lie," according to CIA personnel with direct knowledge of the case.
The Washington Post, in a front-page splash on Friday, fingered the CIA for allegedly confirming the wild rumors of Russian hacking that were concocted and spread by Democratic lawmakers for months preceding the election and the weeks since the GOP win. The Washington Post's story, however, contained no CIA sources and in fact, no credible U.S. intelligence agency sources whatsoever. Instead, it hinged on what unnamed lawmakers had supposedly been told by unidentified, supposed CIA-linked sources in "secret" briefings: That the CIA had developed proof the Russian state waged an orchestrated campaign to destabilize the U.S. election to benefit GOP-candidate Trump.Read More

So we're getting to the sharp end of the season
And we all expect our team to go for glory
When this weird encounter gave me a good reason
To impart this rather quirky little story.
I was having a quick drink down at the local
Amongst fans who'd come to watch the match on Sky
Though surprisingly the crowd was far from vocal
When you think of the importance of the tie.
For you see it was a crucial quarter final
And my side had scored the only first half goal
So at the break I hit the men's urinal
While hoping that my team were on a roll.
I emerged and made my way out to the garden
To reflect upon our decent opening spell
When a strange girl interrupted me with 'pardon'
And proceeded to roll out the old hard sell.
'Do ya wanna buy a leg a lamb do ya mister'?
As she held up two worn leatherette handbags
While I started working out ways to resist her
We became the focus of the local wags.
For I must confess her question left me speechless
As I stared into her eyes confusion spread
For at cockney rhyming slang I'm frankly useless
And perhaps she aimed to get me into bed.
So I asked her to be rather more specific
Was it just a joint of meat she had for sale?
Could the contents of her bags be that horrific?
For if so her dodgy pitch was bound to fail.
When she turned to leave I knew I must have bored her
For she'd caught me unprepared I can't deny
But the whole affair was more than out of order
As perhaps she'd robbed a butcher's shop nearby.
So I had a chat with several fellow drinkers
Who were well amused by what had just occurred
And although it's true most fans are not deep thinkers
They are well equipped to spot the quite absurd.

Make Arm-Circles
In this exercise, you make a large circle with your arms.
Breathing in, bring your palms together in front of you.
Raise your arms up and separate your hands so your arms can stretch up over your head, and continue the circle, arms out, circling back, until your fingers point toward the ground.
Breathing out, lift your arms back and reverse the circle, bringing your palms together as your arms come down in front of you.
Repeat the movement three more times.

San Luis Obispo — Our 12-mile bike ride from San Luis Obispo to the Pacific was eased by cloudy skies and temperatures in the 70s. We then took a seaside break, a couple of hours spent resting and reading on the sand.
About a mile into our return to town, the heavens sprinkled a July surprise. Overhanging sycamores and eucalyptus trees shielded us only partly, but it was fun to feel the raindrops and ponder how different life must have been back home in broiling Los Angeles. I even enjoyed some unanticipated crosstown traffic -- a plump rabbit that darted across the slick pavement and forced me to squeeze the brakes hard. For a city boy like me, weary of bike-riding battles with MTA buses and wild SUVs, the bunny was the only obstacle I wanted on a mini- vacation.
That kind of scenery change is what brought my wife, Leda, and me to San Luis Obispo one weekend when our daughter was safely stowed at camp. We wanted a destination where we could enjoy scenic (but not overly taxing) bike riding as well as the cultural amenities of a university community. San Luis Obispo was a good bet, especially while most of the party-hearty students were gone.

An 18-year-old Hagerstown man accused of molesting two of his half sisters in 1999 was found not involved Tuesday on sexual abuse charges filed in October 2002 when he was a juvenile.
Judge Frederick C. Wright III said "there is too much question" about what happened regarding the allegations of sexual abuse and one of the man's half sisters.
While the abuse "probably occurred," Wright said, "the evidence is too conflicting and not strong enough" to show "that he committed the offense beyond a reasonable doubt."
The man had been accused of two counts each of third- and fourth-degree sex offense against his two half sisters, now ages 9 and 11. The time frame was problematic, prosecutors said in earlier hearings, because the two sisters could not pinpoint the time the offenses were alleged to have occurred or how many times.

- Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos once told the founder of daily deals site Woot over breakfast that he had acquired the company because it was like the "breakfast octopus" he was eating – something he "didn't understand."
- The restaurant where they ate is Lola, a famous upscale eatery in Seattle near Amazon's offices.
- I visited Lola to try the dish. It left me convinced Bezos' "breakfast octopus" analogy was not an offhand remark, but something that he had deliberately planned.
Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos, now the richest man in the world, is ripe for dissection.
In endless magazine profiles, newspaper articles, blog posts, and books, every episode of the enigmatic Amazon CEO's life is analysed. Through them, a portrait of Bezos has emerged: intense, intimidating, curious, relentlessly competitive, and with a biting sense of humour.
But only one of the hundreds of anecdotes I've read about him captures my imagination. That of the "breakfast octopus."
In a 2014 Dallas' D Magazine profile of Matt Rutledge, who sold his daily-deals e-commerce company, Woot, to Amazon for $US110 million in 2010, Rutledge shared the story of his first meeting with Bezos after the deal.
During the breakfast meeting, Rutledge asked Bezos why he bought the company. Bezos famously looked down at his plate and said, "You're the octopus that I'm having for breakfast … When I look at the menu, you're the thing I don't understand, the thing I've never had. I must have the breakfast octopus."
On a recent trip to Seattle, I made a pilgrimage to Seattle restaurant Lola to see what the "breakfast octopus" was all about.
Lola is located in between South Lake Union, a neighbourhood so full of Amazon buildings that locals call it Amazonia, and Pike Place Market, Seattle's most famous landmark after the Space Needle. It's a seven-minute walk from Bezos' office at Day One Tower.
From the outside, the restaurant looked somewhere between a casual brunch place to meet with friends and an upscale date night spot.
It looked to be very busy at 10:30 AM on the Thursday before Christmas. When I went inside, I was told that it would be a 30 to 45-minute wait. The restaurant was buzzing.
I had assumed the restaurant would be quiet for breakfast, but it was quickly clear this is not the type of place someone like Bezos would walk in without a reservation.
Since I was by myself, I thought I might sit at the bar. But even that was completely filled up. Besides, I doubted Bezos would ever take a business lunch at the bar.
The hostess told me to wait in the lobby of the adjoining hotel, Hotel Ändra. I decided to read up on Lola. I learned that it was one of the first restaurants of famed chef Tom Douglas. The Mediterranean joint is one of the most enduring and trend-setting restaurants in Seattle's culinary scene.
South Lake Union, or Amazonia, is littered with Tom Douglas establishments. Most of which, like Assembly Hall, Tanakasan, and Brave Horse Tavern, appeared to be tenants of Amazon-owned buildings.
Source: Tom Douglas
The notorious "breakfast octopus" was the most enticing item on the menu. It was even named "Tom's Favourite Breakfast" after the chef. The waitress said that it and the Eggs Benedict are by far the most popular dishes. Bezos doesn't look like the kind of saucy fellow who would order a Benedict.
The dish arrived promptly. It was glorious in its layers of green, yellow, and beige, all topped off with a supple poached egg. But the octopus was nowhere to be found.
I'll be honest: I was disappointed. I had been expecting a challenge worthy of the mighty Bezos, who had described the dish as "the thing I don't understand." I was expecting a great slab of tentacles, ink, and head.
My disappointment evaporated as I cut into the dish and tasted the first morsel of "breakfast octopus." The rich, saltiness of the poached yolk contrasted perfectly with the earthy-sweet crunch of the leeks and the firm, charred octopus chunks hiding underneath.
The accompanying sourdough bread was toasted to perfection. I dipped it into the garlic Greek yogurt sauce that surrounded the dish. The tangy yet savoury yogurt was the only condiment needed. Forget butter, jam, ketchup, and hot sauce.
As I made my way through the hearty breakfast, it seemed impossible that Bezos had never ordered it before his breakfast with Rutledge. It's a dish worth returning for again and again.
Halfway through my breakfast, I channeled my inner-Bezos and innovated. I began piling on each delicate ingredient onto the sourdough to form an open-faced sandwich.
I took a sip of coffee. The table to my right was talking about vendor agreements, KPIs, a new initiative, and an underperforming colleague. It was a holiday lunch for two mid-level Amazon employees. To my left was a man eating breakfast in front of marked-up Excel spreadsheets. Did everyone work for Amazon?
I was in the homestretch of Tom's Favourite Breakfast and though I was getting full, I hadn't tired of the dish. I had just uncovered large tentacles hiding under the potatoes. They too were delicious.
I would have licked the plate clean if it had not breached the standards of propriety. Given what I knew about Bezos and what I now knew about Lola, I wouldn't be shocked if Bezos anticipated Rutledge's question about why he had bought Woot and either ordered the octopus as an elaborate joke or had prepared the quip beforehand.
I suppose you don't become worth $US98.6 billion by leaving things to chance. Now, I see a clear message in the tale of the breakfast octopus: This is Jeff's world. We're all just living in it.
Update: Matt Rutledge, the founder at the meeting with Bezos said on Twitter he doesn't "support" my reading of the event. Can't win 'em all.

9-Year-Old Boy Who Saved His Brother From Drowning Inside A Well Explains How He Did It (Video)
A mere nine-year-old boy who managed to save his little brother from drowning inside a well, has explained how he did it.
Identified as Akachukwu Francis Eze, the 9-year-old boy made headlines recently when he was reported to have gone inside a well after his 3-year-old brother fell inside it and managed to bring him out.
Now, a new video making the rounds on the internet has shown the boy explaining how he managed to save his brother from death.
In the video, Akachukwu explains to an interviewer that they were inside their house when a woman from upstairs raised alarm that his brother had fallen inside the well and so he decided to go in and bring the boy out. At first the woman who raised the alarm tried to stop him from going inside but his elder sister told him to proceed and try his best.
He then went inside the well, got his baby brother on his back and climbed outside.
Watch him telling the story in the video below:

My new favourite perfume is the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur, I got this for my birthday and I am in love with this fragrance. I have tried Juicy Couture perfumes in the past and I also currently own Couture La La. As you would imagine, this fragrance has a floral scent but it is sweet at the same time without being sickening.
|Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur
How gorgeous is the packaging? Like all of the Juicy Couture fragrances it has little charms and a big bow with a big glass lid. I love the style of Juicy Couture products and I think the style comes across in their fragrances as well, they are fresh, fun and youthful.
|Cute bow and charms, typical Juicy Couture style
I have tried a lot of perfume and I seem to go through it really quickly so I'm always buying new fragrances and I haven't found one that I have stuck to but maybe this one is it, I think I will always have a bottle of this on my dresser.
|I love the bottle and the floral pattern that shines through on the other side of the bottle

lean and effective supply chains that

inventory accuracy, on-time shipping/
delivery, cycle time, fill rates, etc."

We have a lot of therapies under one roof at Walnut Grove. You can browse them here.
Osteopathy is a primary health care system, complementary to other medical practices. It is suitable for almost anyone and can contribute to the treatment and management of a wide range of health problems.
Osteopaths use a combination of movement, stretching, targeted deep tissue massage and manipulation of a person's muscles and joints to improve function, relieve pain and aid recovery.
A core principle behind osteopathy is the idea that the body is an integrated and indivisible whole, and contains self-healing mechanisms that can be utilised as part of the treatment. No part of the body works, or can be considered, in isolation. Relevant psychological and social factors also form part of the process of patient diagnosis. The body has the natural ability to maintain itself and, by helping this process, an osteopath can promote restoration of normal function.
An osteopath will take the time to understand their patient, and their unique combination of symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. This helps to make an accurate diagnosis of the causes of the pain or lack of function (rather than just addressing the site of the condition), and from that, to formulate a treatment plan that will achieve the best outcome.
Osteopaths frequently work alongside other health professionals, such as GPs, nurses and midwives as well as alternative medical practitioners. Osteopathy works well to complement other medical interventions including surgery and prescribed medication. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) advises that GPs' can safely refer patients to an osteopath for treatment. Osteopathy is available on the NHS in some areas of the UK.
Although osteopaths are well known for treating back pain, the practice of osteopathy can help relieve the symptoms of a wide range of conditions. Osteopaths treat joint pain, neuro-muscular conditions, digestive conditions, headaches and sleep problems.
Osteopathy is very safe. It is estimated that between 1 in 50,000 and 1 in 100,000 patients will suffer a reaction to osteopathic treatment that is serious enough to require further medical treatment or does not resolve within 48 hours.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy may be particularly effective for babies, children, adults and the elderly.
In any osteopathic treatment, the whole body is involved and, improvements are often noted in many different areas. For example, it is not uncommon for digestive problems to resolve when the spine or pelvis are being treated because of back pain.
Cranial osteopathic treatment is very gentle and relaxing. During the treatment some people are aware of different sensations, such as mild tension, aching or sensitivity that gradually disappear, or of feelings of warmth and relaxation. Other people are unaware of anything happening at all during the treatment but are aware that they feel very different when they get up afterwards.
Most people become deeply relaxed during cranial osteopathic treatment and it is not uncommon for people to fall asleep.
Physiotherapy is a research based and evidence led profession that plays a vital role in helping restore movement and function following injury, disease, pain or surgery.
Here at the clinic we treat musculoskeletal conditions that include bone, muscle, nerve and ligament problems. We treat a wide range of conditions including back, neck and shoulder pain and injuries; knee and ankle problems; and post surgery rehabilitation. The Physiotherapists offer a comprehensive assessment taking into account your lifestyle, work, hobbies and sports in order to select an appropriate treatment plan. This aims to facilitate your recovery, helping you to return to your previous level of activity and prevent reoccurrence. Treatment is patient focused and includes education, self management strategies including home exercises, as well as hands on manual therapy, Electrotherapy, Acupuncture and taping techniques.
The Physiotherapists treat patients from 10 years to adulthood. They also specialise in treating conditions that occur during pregnancy and post natal, and sporting adolescent problems.
If you have a health issue, we will help you get better.
Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine
Chinese Medicine is a tried and tested system which has been used for thousands of years to restore, promote and maintain good health. Nowadays more and more people are finding Chinese Medicine an effective solution to many health problems. Chinese Medicine includes herbs, acupuncture and a system of meditation, self healing and exercise called Qi Gong (Chi Gong). According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health depends on energy moving in a balanced way through the body. This flow can be disrupted by a variety of factors including, anxiety, infections and hereditary problems. Chinese Medicine aims to stimulate the body's own healing response.

Dry needling, also known as western acupuncture is the use of solid acupuncture needles for treatment of muscle pain including trigger points. It is used to relieve pain and increase range of movement.
Physiotherapists and Osteopaths at Walnut Grove use this technique to aid their treatment. It is not Chinese Medicine and does not have a basis in the traditional Chinese system.
Holistic Massage
Massage therapy may aid recuperation after illness and injury, and also improve your state of mind. It also helps de-stress & relax you, promoting better sleep. Expectant Mums in particular can benefit greatly from massage throughout pregnancy.
Sports Massage Therapy
Sports Massage does exactly what it says on the tin. It's specifically for sports related injuries, stresses, strains and complaints – or for when you require deeper myofacial release.
We treat occasional runners and professional athletes here at Walnut Grove. If you have a nagging injury, or require massage akin to deep tissue, why not give sports massage a go?
Homeopathy & Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a way of accessing the subconscious mind through relaxation, and can be helpful for removing unwanted habits and changing negative thought patterns. It is nothing like the hypnotherapy you see on the stage.
You will be aware throughout your session and will not be made to do anything you don't want to do. You will simply enter a state of extreme relaxation. People find hypnotherapy very relaxing and therapeutic, and it can be helpful for lots of issues, especially smoking, weight & confidence.

Our Homeopath offers a free 15 minute consultation so you can decide if it may be of benefit to you.
Classes & One-to-One
Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the entire body. It places emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance.
The core, consisting of the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, and hips, is often called the "powerhouse" and is thought to be the key to a person's stability. These muscles must be worked in a functional way and not in isolation.
The Pilates system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty, from beginner to advanced. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises.
We run a range of classes both mat, machine based and 1-1 sessions in our studio here at WG.
Suspension Training
What's Suspension Training? Basically it's all about using your body weight to perform a range of exercises whilst partially supported by the straps which are fixed above your head.
It's functional training at its best – ideal for improving your whole body for everyday living or turning in the performance of your life.
Find out more about classes or book a 1 to 1 session at reception.

Re: Rev. Green Adams, Greensville & Southampton VA
In reply to:
Re: Rev. Green Adams, Greensville & southampton VA
Hi Judy,
I'm sorry but I don't have the siblings for Rev. Green Adams. I have noticed other Green Adams listed on this forum. I'm a Newsom and Barnes descendant and both of these lines married into the Adam's families. Examples are listed below:
Hartwell Adams married Rebecca Barnes December 18, 1821 in Greensville Co. VA.Following Rebecca's death, Hartwell Adams married Fanny Underwood April 17, 1838 and I believe that Rev. Green Adams performed this marriage ceremony in Southampton Co. and recorded it also in Sussex County. Richard Barnes married Elizabeth Adams November 20, 1820 Sussex County.
If I'm able to find further information for Martha Newsom and Rev. Green Adams, or the other couples above, I will share the source documents with you.

I just returned from a quick business trip to Colorado Springs, CO and realized I still hadn't figured out what to give my co-workers for Christmas. I had several ideas that I'd been tossing around, but none of them really seemed to fit the bill. And then I happened upon the perfect idea. Since great gift ideas aren't always easy to come by, I decided to share this with you. :)
I'll start by showing the finished product:
After finishing the first several designs, I realized they were pretty "girlie" and decided to do a more masculine version as well:
As you can see, this gift requires minimal supplies: a 5x7 acrylic frame (I got mine at Target), post-it notes, and cardstock + printer. Of course, you can always take the digital file to Kinkos and have them print it...so technically you don't even need the last two items.
To start, you'll need to create a 5x7" document in photoshop. Add the papers, title and elements, and print. I used different papers to give each version a unique design, but this is entirely optional.
After printing, trim the document and slip into the frame. Make sure the frame is orientated correctly...it will be upside-down from the traditional usage. Add the post-it notes, and you're done!
I've seen versions where the post-it notes were glued to the frame; however, I wanted the notes to be replaceable so I just peeled the paper-backing away and stuck the notes directly to the frame. I was unable to find any post-it notes that actually matched my frame designs, so it might help to purchase your post-its before you design your frames. Then you can choose a matching color palette...brilliant!
Realizing that Christmas is just days away, and in an effort to make this hectic week just a teeny bit easier for you, I am giving away this post-it template. Just click on the image below (or click here) to download. Hope you enjoy!

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - Martinsburg's boys soccer team is one step closer to a first-round bye in the Region II, Section 4 playoffs.
The Bulldogs scored twice in the first 11 minutes, then turned to defense to hold Hedgesville to three shots in the second half of a convincing 3-0 victory Saturday night at Cobourn Field.
"What I said to them beforehand, was we wanted to come out strong and attack," Martinsburg coach Jason DeBaugh said. "Getting on the board early is always key, it gets you fired up and it can get them down on themselves."


text: Here you can see the variety of styles and colors available for bracelets. I have so many designs that it would be hard to list them all here, and they are constantly changing due to sales. I try not to make the same design twice. I make bangles, toggle and clasp closures, charm bracelets, and the most popular item- sophisticated stretch bracelets with no metal content, very easy to put on and take off, and hypoallergenic. Please visit my flickr account to see many more color combinations.

I'm not sure if a couple cuter than Samantha and Joe exists! They are just a joy to be around. Their sweet and loving demeanor was contagious and magnetic. I don't think I stop smiling all day. Aside from being the perfect couple. they also had the perfect weather, venue and details. I loved how the orange colors accented to beautiful fall colors.
Karma + perfect people = a perfect day and I was lucky enough to be there!

Seriously Asia Targets Growth
If New Zealand is serious about economic growth it needs to get serious about Asia.
Asia 2000 Foundation chairman Sir Dryden Spring says the three-month Seriously Asia programme, launched in Auckland today by Prime Minister Helen Clark, is a reality check for New Zealand.
"Asian economies outperformed the world for a generation and their growth this year is expected to be between five and six percent. New Zealand's is expected to grow at around two percent. That's the equation we have to think about," Sir Dryden says.
"Asia's dynamic markets and societies can help unlock New Zealand's wealth potential and bring greater prosperity to all New Zealanders. The truth, though, is that New Zealand needs Asia more than Asia needs us. We need to go the extra mile to do business and forge stronger links.
"The Seriously Asia initiative is about injecting real energy into our relationships with the countries of Asia," he says. "That's not just about business. It means doing better across the whole range of social and cultural connections too."
Seriously Asia is supported jointly by the Government and private sector sponsors, and managed by the Asia 2000 Foundation. It is the most comprehensive attempt yet to gather the views and knowledge of New Zealanders on practical ways of creating stronger links with Asia.
Four Seriously Asia issues groups - drawn from people with networks and connections to Asia - will pull together views from business, community interests, educators and the general public on how New Zealand can work better with Asia.
A key tool in gathering information will be an interactive website, http://www.seriouslyasia.org.nz/ , offering all interested individuals and organisations the opportunity to give their perspective, and ideas for practical action.
Workshops will be held around the country as another means of gaining and sharing knowledge and ideas from business and community sources.
Feedback will be worked into practical proposals in four key areas covered by the issues groups: trade, investment and tourism; political and security; innovation and sustainable development; and society and culture.
Priority goals will be identified at a one day Asia Forum in Wellington on November 26, which will feature high-profile guest speakers from around the Asian region.
"We're confident that Seriously Asia will produce concrete ideas that will lead to action by key players across sectors", Sir Dryden says. "Asia 2000 will be monitoring the outcomes."
"What we're asking New Zealanders to do is to see the real world. Asia is neither distant nor unfamiliar, but very much a part of our daily life and a large influence on our future," he says.
Seriously Asia is sponsored by partners Fonterra, LG Electronics, Minter Ellison Rudd Watts; supporters Grand Hotels International and Singapore Airlines; and friends Investment New Zealand and the New Zealand Institute of International Affairs.

Cumbernauld's MP calls on PM to guarantee aid for world's poor
Written by Scott Campbell.
Published at 18:16 GMT on Tuesday 5th March, 2013.
Town's MP, Gregg McClymont.
CUMBERNAULD'S MP has looked beyond the boundaries of his local constituency to demand that Prime Minister, David Cameron commits to his promise to help the world's poor.
Gregg McClymont, Labour MP for Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East has demanded David Cameron fulfil his promise to spend 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) on international aid and to put this commitment in law.
Gregg said: "I am signing up to the Keep the Promise campaign because I believe that we must not turn our backs on the world's poorest. Not only is it morally right but it is also in our national interest to meet our aid promise as developing countries can, with our support, become our future trading partners instead of failed states.
Before the 2010 General Election, all three main political parties committed themselves to Labour's 0.7 per cent of GNI international aid target and promised that this commitment would be enshrined in law.
"I understand why some people feel we shouldn't prioritise international aid when so many families in Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch are struggling but the world's poor shouldn't pay the price for the Tories' economic failure," Gregg added.
The Coalition Agreement between the Tories and Lib Dems reiterated the pledge by both parties to stick to a 0.7% target of GNI international aid, yet the two parties of government are still to fulfil their promise.
The town's MP has said that the UK cannot "afford to take Cameron at his word."
He said: "We cannot afford to take Cameron at his word that he will maintain Britain's commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of GNI on international aid.
"Our aid makes a huge difference to the lives of the poorest people of the world through building schools, protecting children from disease and helping alleviate the suffering caused by disasters like the Haiti earthquake.
"We need to have this commitment enshrined in law so that the world knows we will fulfil our obligations and to show David Cameron that even in difficult times people in our area believe it is right we maintain our responsibilities to the world's poorest people and keep our promises."
