Hopes for the Allen Paulson Living Trust's Stratostar were once fairly high, but the 8-year-old gelding has now settled into a groove that any owner and trainer would be thrilled with.
The Ken McPeek-trained son of Pulpit opened the Churchill Downs Spring Meet with a rousing two-length victory in a starter allowance race over yielding turf on May 11. That win over a strong field at that class level marked the sixth consecutive trip to the winner's circle for Stratostar. The win string, all in starter allowance races, began with his first race of the year at Gulfstream Park and includes four wins on turf, one on traditional dirt and another on Polytrack at Keeneland.
Stratostar has helped McPeek to a strong start through the first 13 days of the 52-day Spring Meet at Churchill Downs. The veteran's victory is one of eight on the meet for McPeek, who was tied with Steve Asmussen for second on the race for leading trainer and trailed leader Tom Amoss by a single victory.
Owner Michael Paulson sent Stratostar to McPeek in the summer of 2006, but it took him a while to find his current groove. McPeek said patience and work at his Magdalena Farm, which is located near Lexington and has a training track on its grounds, helped put Paulson's veteran back in the right frame of mind.
"He came in and he'd had some success, but he was off-form pretty good," McPeek said. "He seemed like he'd lost his confidence. He just didn't seem like a horse that was interested in training. But he's pretty confident now."
Stratostar is obviously a huge force in starter allowance races, with his success coming at claiming levels ranging from $12,500 to $20,000. But McPeek said luck has also been a factor. He was eligible for the $16,000 starter allowance race he won on the Churchill Downs turf, which included horses that had run for a claiming price of $16,000 or less in 2007 and 2008, because he was unable to get Stratostar into a race on the last day of 2006.
"I entered him in a $10,000 claiming race at Turfway on Dec. 31, 2006, but the race didn't fill," McPeek recalled. "I brought him back the next day for $12,500 and it filled on Jan. 1, which made him eligible. That's how he's managed to win six races in a row, because he was eligible by one day."
As Stratostar continues his run, McPeek has no plans to adjust a winning formula.
"He's at the point where he's just measuring horses the last quarter of a mile," McPeek said. "Michael and I have talked about changing and running the horse in something else, but right now we're just going to take it day-by-day."
Stratostar's streak has lifted his career record to 12-7-5 in 46 races and boosted his earnings to $301,534.
ST. JOE BACK TO ONE-TURN IN SATURDAY'S MATT WINN – After a brief detour onto the Triple Crown trail, Silverton Hill LLC's St. Joe has convinced trainer Darrin Miller that the colt's future lies in races at one-turn distances.
That path begins in Saturday's seventh running of the $100,000-added Matt Winn Stakes for 3-year-olds at six furlongs. St. Joe will have jockey Tracy Hebert in the saddle as he faces a strong field of six rivals that include Swale (GIII) winner Eaton's Gift and recent Churchill Downs allowance winner Ling Ling Qi.
Miller will be looking for a return to the form St. Joe displayed in a swift seven-furlong allowance victory over Polytrack at Keeneland on April 13. That race, which followed a pair of disappointing runs early in the year at Gulfstream Park, was so strong that it convinced Miller and the colt's owners to give him one more try at two-turns in the 1 1/16-mile Coolmore Lexington (GII) at Keeneland on April 19. But St. Joe faded sharply after tracking the early pace and beat only two horses in the field of 11.
"You come back and you run huge like that after two pretty bad performances, and you think we'll give it (the Coolmore Lexington) a shot," Miller said. "So we did – and clearly we don't need to do that again."
Miller remains puzzled over the poor runs by St. Joe in Florida, which included a loss to Matt Winn rival Eaton's Gift in the Swale in which the colt finished last and was beaten by 43 ¼ lengths. He followed that with a dismal effort in a one-mile allowance race in which St. Joe finished ninth of 10 horses and lost by 21 lengths.
"He was going into the Swale as good as he's ever trained," Miller said. "So that really threw me. It was his first race back off of throat surgery, but he put two bad performances in down there. I'm really not one to blame anything on a racetrack, but maybe – I don't know. He just didn't run well there."
St. Joe's only previous race at Churchill Downs was a good third-place finish behind Court Vision and Halo Najib in the Iroquois (GIII) at the Louisville track's one-turn mile. His only concern, given the strength his Iroquois effort and the recent Keeneland win at seven furlongs, is that the Matt Winn's six furlongs could be too short for St. Joe's best effort.
"He can run them off their feet going seven, or probably 6 ½ furlongs," Miller said. "I have some reservations about it – it may be a little short for him."
St. Joe will bring a career record of 2-1-1 in eight races and earnings of $82,321 into the Matt Winn.
ASMUSSEN'S SPRING MEET RUN FUELED BY JUVENILES – Trainer Steve Asmussen, coming off a sweep of the training titles in the 2007 Spring and Fall Meets at Churchill Downs, has made a quick move in recent days to place himself among the leaders in the battle for 2008 Spring Meet training honors.
Asmussen pulled into a second-place tie with Ken McPeek for second place in the race for "leading trainer" when Winchell Thoroughbreds Retap won the 4th race, a five-furlong maiden event for 2-year-olds. Asmussen and McPeek were one win back of leader Tom Amoss heading into Thursday's racing.
The success of the Asmussen stable last spring was fueled by its long roster of promising 2-year-olds, and that division has carried Asmussen to the top of the standings in the current meet. Six of his eight victories heading into Thursday's racing had come in races for juveniles. The only other trainer in the meet with more than one juvenile win is Wesley Ward, who has saddled a pair of 2-year-old winners in four attempts.
Asmussen, whose power-packed stable at Churchill Downs includes reigning "Horse of the Year" Curlin and Louisiana Derby (GII) winner Pyro, is bidding for his third Churchill Downs training title and his sixth overall.
The sprawling Asmussen stable led the nation with 488 total victories in 2007. It was the fourth time that Asmussen had led U.S. trainers in wins.
BARN NOTES – Silverton Hill, LLC's Dominican, who upset eventual Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense in the 2007 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (GI) over Polytrack at Keeneland, is preparing to try something new in his career. Trainer Darren Miller said he plans to run the son of El Corredor on the turf at Churchill Downs in the next few days. Dominican finished 11th behind Street Sense in the Kentucky Derby and has now lost four consecutive races, but ran second behind Self Made Man over Polytrack in a Keeneland allowance race in his only start of 2008. Dominican breezed five furlongs over a "good" track in 1:03.60 on Thursday at Churchill Downs, and Miller said the 4-year-old is ready for his first attempt on the grass. "We need to try it and this looks like a real good time to do it," said Miller. "I was pleased with his race at Keeneland. He came out of that race super – he looks fantastic and he's training really well." Miller said his other Kentucky Derby veteran from 2007, Silverton Hill's fifth-place finisher Sedgefield, is "pretty much" retired from racing. "He's just mentally out of the game," said Miller…Wednesday's victory by Winchell Thoroughbreds' Retap in a maiden race for 2-year-olds marked the first U.S. victory for freshman sire Tapit, who won the Wood Memorial (GI) before he finished ninth behind Smarty Jones in the 2004 Kentucky Derby. Tapit's first winner as a sire came in a race in Mexico…Richland Hills, LLC's Cougar Cat, runner-up to Fabulous Strike in the 2007 Aristides (GIII) and second to Benny the Bull in the Iowa Sprint at Prairie Meadows, breezed five furlongs over a "good" surface in :59.80 on Thursday. The move was the fastest of 12 works at the distance. The Ronny Werner-trained Cougar Cat has not run since a sixth-place finish behind Junior College in the Bet On Sunshine overnight handicap in November at Churchill Downs.

Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis was spotted on a mother-daughter day at the beach in Miami, and showed off her curves in a plunging swimsuit. The 48 year old American chef was an alluring sight on the sun-soaked day, basking in the sun and frolicking in the waves. Giada put her enviable torso on show in a blue one-piece, but showed off more than she bargained for, suffering a wardrobe malfunction.
Giada, known for her skills in the kitchen, accidentally put her nipples on display, coming out of the waves after a dip. Nevertheless, she was in high spirits, spending quality time with her daughter Jade, 10, who wore an age appropriate lilac two piece. Giada also flaunted a red manicure, and was an absolute dish in the revealing ensemble.

With the theme, 'Better Taste - Less Waste' Ti's global focus and three pillar strategy is food protection, sustainability and recyclability.
• CFIA (13-15 March 2018) Rennes, France – Stand: Hall 4, Stand C70
• ANUGA FOODTEC (20-23 March 2018) Cologne, Germany - Hall 8, Stand C18/D19
Food ProtectionAmong the specialized BoPP film range, Ti will present its expanded range of EXTENDO® high barrier products, which extends shelf life by protecting foods against mineral oils - with benefits to logistics and distribution – while preserving their aroma and taste. The result is a 'best-in-class' film designed to keep food fresh, extend shelf life and reduce food waste. Thanks to the mono-material solutions design, EXTENDO® films integrate the concept of eco-design which is one of the principles of the circular economy.
Taghleef will also present NATIVIA® range including transparent, white voided and metallized films developed using bioplastics derived from renewable sources (polylactic acid) thereby safeguarding the environment and offering more options at the end of the life cycle. They will also offer films with enhanced seal integrity, which are ideal for accurately preserving food products.
Sustainability & Recyclability
As a world leader in the development of leading-edge film technology, Tl has developed intelligent and creative substrates for food packaging and protection. A key priority for Taghleef is to reduce the environmental impact with attention to recyclability. The company offers bio-based films and mono material solutions offering an alternative to other substrates such as coated films, aluminium foils, etc. which can make a remarkable contribution to the sustainability of modern packaging.
Mario Molinaro, Business Unit Director - Flexible Packaging Europe says, "We believe an important part of our role is to educate the stakeholders and provide solutions that not only satisfy consumer demand but meet the world's need to look after our planet. We are delighted to be attending both important exhibitions. Taghleef films will be attracting significant attention as they answer the present directives of circular economy and food protection."

Experts and advocates from across the open source world assembled in Portland, Ore., this week for OSCON 2015. Below you'll find a handful of keynotes and interviews from the event that we found particularly notable.
Cracking open the IoT
In an interview at OSCON, Alasdair Allan, director at Babilim Light Industries, talked about the data coming out of the New Horizons Pluto flyby, the future of "personal space programs," and the significance of Bluetooth LE to the Internet of Things:
Now that all the smartphones have Bluetooth LE — or at least the modern ones, there is a very easy way to produce low-power devices (wearables, embedded sensors) that anyone can access with a smartphone. … It's a real lever to drive the Internet of Things forward, and you're seeing a lot of the progress in the Internet of Things, a lot of the innovation, is happening — especially in Kickstarter — around BLE devices.
Open source is good for the company
James Pearce, head of open source at Facebook, discussed the how/why/what of Facebook's embrace of open source. As to they "why," he outlined three reasons:
- Open source accelerates innovation: "By sharing our code and our stack, and in some cases even our hardware designs, we think that other companies and individuals are just able to move faster. And far from this being a competitive threat, we actually find that the value of this accrues back to us."
- We write better software: "At a deeper, more architectural level, if we know that a project is going to be open source from the start, we just build it better."
- We share our challenges: "These are challenges of speed, challenges of complexity, and challenges of scale. It also attracts the interest of people who might want to come and work on some of those problems. We know that this recruiting angle works: 3/4 of our new engineers say that our open source program positively affected their decision to join the company."
The future is arriving quickly
Paul Fenwick, managing director of Perl Training Australia, talked about designing and engineering for the future-future:
"I want you to think about the technologies and things you might be working on as if we were 10,000 years in the future. The reason is that I want you to think about how your technology might be used for good, how it might not be used for good, and the reasons for each of those — are there reasons why your technology may not be able to achieve the best it can for humanity? … 10,000 years is a lot of time to change the world, and we need these long-term plans. I can assure you that the future will be awesome, but only if we engineer it to be so."
Keep good architecture
Martin Fowler, chief scientist at ThoughtWorks, talked about the importance of software architecture, what it means and why we should care about it:
It's particularly relevant now as we push more and more toward continuous delivery, continuous deployment, features updated over the Internet all the time. That degree of being able to respond to change becomes important. That's the economic reason why software architecture is important, because if we don't keep good architecture, we are, in the end, deceiving our customers — in fact, stealing from our customers — because we're slowing down their ability to compete.

Crashed plane removed Monday from Lake Winnebago
OSHKOSH - Crews removed an amphibious airplane Monday from Lake Winnebago, four days after it crashed, killing a passenger and injuring three others.
Workers from Radtke Contractors in Winneconne unloaded the plane from a barge about 10:30 a.m. Monday at the 24th Avenue boat ramp, and Myers Aviation in Oshkosh removed it from the scene.
RELATED:Passenger dies after plane crash on lake
RELATED: Four people in hospital after crash at EAA Seaplane Base
The six-seat Lake Renegade was carrying three Minnesota residents when it hit a "large wave" and overturned about 8 p.m. Thursday near the Experimental Aircraft Association's Seaplane Base, just south of Oshkosh, EAA spokesman Dick Knapinski said previously.
The plane was traveling about 80 mph when it hit the water, according to the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office. One passenger was able to escape the wreck, while two others were trapped inside. Those three, along with a sheriff's dive team member, were injured.
A passenger, Diane Linke, 71, of Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, died Friday, according to the Sheriff's Office. A second person remained in the hospital as of Monday morning, though that person's condition was not immediately available Tuesday afternoon.
National Transportation Safety Board investigator Dan Baker says the water was too rough this weekend to remove the seaplane.

Following the castle wall sections, I decided to put my hand to some goodies for the baddies :)
Mantlets, I thought, would be a good place to start; give those Orcs, Goblins and Trolls something to cower behind as they encroach upon the battlements.
Orcs love their spikes.
Only the finest of timbers ...Kauri?
Imbued with iron for extra strength.
Watch your feet, or you'll be off for a tetanus shot.
Vlad (30mm from toe to top) steps up for a size comparison.
Down at the construction yard.
Plenty of cowering space in behind.
I think I may need to return to the castle next. The forces of darkness appear to be pushing forward.
Hmmm ... I believe some cauldrons of searing viscous liquids are on the menu.
More updates soon.
Happy gaming!

I have a new focus on my diet. Let's call it Keto-tarian. As a mostly (wimpy) vegetarian, I get protein from legumes, eggs, occasionally tofu, and dairy. And I eat some fish, particularly when I eat out. But I also eat a lot of carbs in the form of bread, pasta, and whole grains. Whole grains have a great nutrition package, and the carbs are complex, but they're still carbs. So for the record, I still eat them, but am dramatically reducing other carbs. Or at least I'm trying. If you're watching carbs too, these balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts make a perfect dinner. And they're easy without a ton of ingredients.
Shopping, Prepping & Cooking Tips
Before slicing the onions, if your eyes are particularly sensitive to onions, pop them into the freezer for 10 minutes.
When slicing the onions, remove the bottom of the onion, and slice it in half lengthwise. Wrap and refrigerate one of the onion halves, and lay the other on a cutting board, facing down. Chop off the top, and slice the onion into thin lengths, cutting into the onion lengthwise with a sharp chef's knife. Onions lay flatter in a skillet when sliced in this direction instead of across the width.
When purchasing Brussel sprouts, buy ones still attached to the stalks if possible. They will likely be more fresh than buying them individually.
Prepping Brussels sprouts is easy. Just slice off their bottom nubs, remove any discolored or wilted leaves, and slice in half lengthwise.
It's not essential to start the Brussels sprouts on the stove, but this searing facilitates a caramelization of the sprouts. When this caramelization mixes with the balsamic vinegar, you'll be grateful you took the extra time for this amazing layer of flavor. It's that satisfying savory umami flavor we look for in a vegetarian dish.
The cheese is completely optional. I made it both ways and liked both.
The recipe calls for cooking the eggs in the same pan for simplicity. However, there's no reason you can't cook the eggs separately. I did it both ways, as reflected in the photos, and found the oven method a little easier for cleanup.
You may think the final flourish of celery salt is unnecessary, and you would be wrong! Add celery salt to your grocery list, and get the smallest size you can find if you must, but this adds a final layer of flavor that makes a huge difference to the dish. As a note, you can add it to any Brussels sprouts dish you make in the future.
Cooking Tips for the Eggs
You can cook the eggs any way you wish. Here are the best options in my opinion. I have a slight preference for #2, since it reduces my cleanup 🙂
- Poach, fry or make them sunny-side-up in a separate pan and add them to the top of the finished roasted Brussels sprouts. The top photo shows this method.
- Add them to the pan with the roasted Brussels sprouts in the final 7 minutes of roasting. To do this, remove the pan from the oven, and first spread a 3 inch circle with a spoon so that the bottom of the pan is revealed. Next, pour a little olive oil into each circle. And finally, crack each egg into a ramekin to ensure the yolk isn't broken, and slide them into the two circles. Return the pan to the oven for 7 minutes for runny eggs. The olive oil helps to prevent the egg from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Onions with Runny Eggs
- 2 cups thinly sliced red onions
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste or finely minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fruity balsamic vinegar, I used a tangerine balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup grated melty cheese, such as Gruyere or Fontina, optional
- 2 large eggs
- ⅛ teaspoon celery salt, or more to your preference
- 1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet suitable for both stovetop cooking and the oven. Add the onions, ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Toss, using tongs, and cook over medium heat until the onions begin to relax. Toss again, and lower the temperature to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, or until caramelized. Remove to a bowl.
- Measure 2 tablespoons olive oil into the pan, and add the Brussels sprouts, and the remaining salt and pepper. Toss to coat, and flip all the sprouts over so that their flat sides are in contact with the pan. They might not all fit, but do this with as many of the sprouts as possible. Cook over medium heat without moving them for 8 minutes. They should be well-seared.
- Add the garlic paste, reserved caramelized onions, and balsamic vinegar. Toss well to coat, and add additional olive oil if the pan is completely dry. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for a few minutes before sliding the skillet into the oven.
- Roast for 15 minutes. If you plan to cook the eggs in the same pan, remove the pan and spread the roasted vegetables out to create two 3-inch circles on the bottom of the skillet. Pour just tiny bit of olive oil into each circle. Crack the eggs into a ramekins to ensure their yolks are not broken, and slide them into the circular openings in the roasted vegetables. Slide the skillet back into the oven, and bake for 7 minutes for runny eggs.
- Optional cheese note: If using a super melty cheese such as fontina or Gruyere, add the cheese in the final 5 minutes in the oven. If the cheese isn't quite as soft, it may require 10 minutes in the oven.
- Remove and finish the dish with a little flourish of celery salt before serving.

Historically, the content and design of a website have been inseparable. In more technical terms, that means that the data ('content') and the presentation ('design') elements have typically been mixed together in one document, that document usually being a web page (such as "index.html" or "about.html"). In order to create and format the content of a page (i.e., use different positioning, font styles, colors, etc.), it was necessary to know HTML mark-up, thus limiting the ability to create a web site to a select few. The role of the webmaster was born.
Software expanded the ability to manage and design websites to a larger number of users yet still demanded a level of technical expertise. Creating and managing content on the web boiled down to two major problems – the 'architecture' of a web page and technical aptitude.
The 'architecture' of not separating content and design elements was both costly and inefficient. For example, let's say a company wanted to re-brand itself or received some funds to update its web presence. The traditional approach to this process would require someone to manually take all of the content – the information on every page of a site – and copy, edit, and massage it into each and every new page of the newly designed site.
Similar inefficiencies existed with having one or more webmasters who essentially were the gatekeepers of the web. Content creators had to email updated web content to their webmasters. Webmasters spent hours hand-coding new pages, making changes, or archiving outdated information. The process for publishing and editing content on the web was slow. Good for webmasters, bad for Website owners.
These problems are what spurred the creation of "CMS" or content management systems. The end game with CMS is that web publishing is literally a click away. CMS, or rather the technology behind them, are tools that allow a non-technical user to quickly and easily post information to the web.
This goal is accomplished by addressing the architecture issue of a web page. With CMS, the content of a site is stored outside of design elements – the content is actually stored in a database. The first benefit with this model is that implementing a new design becomes just about as simple as copying new template files – graphics, formatting, font styles, etc. – to a server. The second is that the content of the site – the data in the database – can be easily backed up and stored for safe keeping.
To better understand this model, imagine that the content ('data') of your site is like a window in your home. To spruce up a window, you can put up some blinds or use a variety of different curtains. These decorative elements are similar to the design ('presentation') of your site. Curtains can be easily switched at any point, to change the appearance of the window but the window is still a window. The same holds true for the design of content managed sites; new design templates can change the entire appearance or specific styles and formatting of your site but the content remains constant.
From a technical perspective, CMS are a winning solution but that is not what makes them so powerful. It is the "push button publishing" (as Google's Blogger calls it) that has led to the tremendous success of these technologies (and yes, blogs and wikis are two types of CMS).
CMS in many ways give the final credence to the "Information Age". Now the power to create new information on the web no longer rests solely within the hands of the technical community. To read more on CMS, check out some additional information at Wikipedia, including a list of different content management systems.
As Jason Coward previously discussed, TheVirtualHandshake.com is built on the ModX CMS.

Sending your little ones away to school for the first time is one of the toughest things that a parent has to do.
But sorting out that all important primary school place beforehand is just as important.
Filling out the forms to get your child into the best possible school can be daunting.
But there is no need to stress about the process because we've put together all the information that you will need to send your children to school in Coventry .
Everyone must apply to send their children to school - even if they already go to a nursery or pre-school linked to the same primary school.
However, you can choose to delay your child's entry into primary education for one of two reasons:
- They were born in the summer (April 1 to August 31)
- You don't think they're ready to start in the September after they turn four
In these instances, they would then start school the September after they turn five.
If you have more than one child, you must complete a separate application for each one.
When you apply, you have the option to list a number of schools, in order of preference.
Coventry City Council advise parents/guardians to list more than one school, as your child could potentially be allocated to a school some distance away if the only school that you listed has no free places.
Listing more than one does not reduce your chances of getting your first preference.
When will you find out which school your child has been allocated?
The deadline for applying this year was January 15, but don't worry if you missed this date, because any applications made after this date will be looked at in early May.
On April 16, second class letters will be sent out informing parents or carers of the school their child has been allocated.
Online applicants will be notified by email.
These dates are for those who applied in January. Those who applied at a later date should find out which school their child has gotten into between April and August.
Admission criteria
All schools have a certain criteria for admission, and according to the government, either the local council or the schools themselves set this.
But while all schools will have different criteria, here are some examples of the kinds of priorities some schools may have.

We spent the day at Taman Safari in Bogor Indonesia. It was about a 3 hour drive from Bandung which was actually quite beautiful as we traversed the winding roads through Puncak. We viewed large areas of tea plantations and the weather was cooler and a bit foggy compared to Bandung or Jakarta. It reminded me a bit of a Fall day in Oregon only more warm and humid.
When we finally arrived at Taman Safari we drove through an area where vendors were selling bunches of carrots. As we later learned it's a good idea to buy a few so you can later feed the aggressive zebras and keep them from eating your car.
As we entered the Safari Park we drove through different sections of animals. The first was the elephants and giraffes as well as deer. We saw all kinds of birds, llamas, hippos, bears all within arm length from the car. We drove through the lion and tigers stopping to enjoy these wild animals and take a few photos.
The rain started and came down hard so every time we opened the windows to take a photo the rain would stream in getting the edge of the seat wet and blowing onto the camera lens.
Then we reached the zebras. Apparently the zebras were hungry and there we were without any carrots to feed them. When you don't have carrots the zebras then want to eat your car. We had the windows open bit and they would stick their noses into the car as far as they could reach sniffing around for any food. When they couldn't find any they started chewing on the windows. A quick touch to the nose made them back off a bit.
It was a great experience that the whole family really enjoyed.
After driving through the safari we reached the main attraction area where we took an overhead view of the park via a tram. The tram cost RP15K per person and is well worth the cost as you get to see the entire park from above. The kids really enjoyed it.
Afterwards we toured the baby animals where we walked through a bird arboretum with all kinds of cool and interesting birds flying around. We saw parrots and pelicans and all kinds of colorful birds. Only a few were caged while the rest could fly around you.
From there we went to an area where there were tigers that you could get your photo taken with. Each of us got our photo taken with a baby white tiger and I took a photo with a Bengal Tiger that was incredibly large. The whole time I was sitting there I kept thinking; "Please don't eat me!" It was incredible sitting right next to this powerful animal with my hand resting on it's back. The experience was well worth the RP15K per person.
We ate lunch at the food court which was fair to good. Of course it was a bit more expensive than normal but that was to be expected. After lunch we got our photos taken with the elephants.
It was quite the experience actually touching an elephant. The skin on it's trunk was very rough but also squishy. It was quite interesting. They were very playful elephants as I'm sure they have been trained to interact with tourists.
The rest of the day we spent going on a few rides such as bumper cars, a haunted house and a roller coaster and then touring the rest of the animal exhibits. We saw monkeys, orangutans, chimpanzees, komodo dragons, penguins and a host of other animals.
At the very end of the day we watched a dolphin show where dolphins jumped out of the water, threw balls into the crowd and spun rings on their noses.
It was a full day and we didn't actually get to see the entire park. There was still a bunch left. Just a good reason to return at some point.
If you are in Indonesia and get a chance to visit Taman Safari Cisarua Bogor take it. You will really enjoy the day.

I'm A Binge Eater! Are You?
This isn't a subject I talk a lot about and not very many people know this little secret about me. However, I use to be the closet binge eater. This is a person who hides somewhere and then binge eats everything in sight when no one is looking. The worse thing about being a closet binge eater is that I would beat myself up about binge eating. Yet in that very moment of stuffing my face, I truly didn't care. I would tell myself it doesn't matter what I eat because the scale doesn't move anyways. Or I would say I only lost an inch all over so it doesn't matter. The best one was when I compared myself to someone else and would say so and so can eat this and looks skinny. The list would go on and on until I felt like I was going to throw up from binging so much. It was almost like I lost all control of not only my mouth, but of my thoughts as well.
For years I struggled and soon started even blaming others for my binge eating sessions so I didn't have to own it myself. What was going on was at my core I felt I didn't have control of my life and I truly wasn't happy with myself both inside and out. I lacked confidence and self worth, but at that time I didn't know that's what I was lacking. While I knew I didn't feel pretty or sexy I didn't realize what I didn't have.
I tried exercising twice a day to overcome the binge eating. That just made it worse to be honest. I started diving deep into different nutriton programs trying to find one I could "stick to". I failed miserably at those as well because each one was a crash diet where I did amazing for a week and then fell into my binge eating on the weekends. It wasn't until I started looking at my "why" and what truly made me personally happy that I was able to slowly change the binge eating cycle.
While I still binge eat (yes I love cheat meals and I even do cheat days now) I am also able to control the binge eating if I choose. How great is that! I choose if I want to binge eat or not! I can also honestly say I never eat myself sick anymore either. A few years ago I never would have thought that this would be something I would be able to do. Yet here I sit totally rocking it. Now I'm sure you are wondering how I did this and I wish I could tell you there was this one magical thing I did, but the reality is it wasn't just one thing. It was everything coming together and working with a coach that gave me this freedom. Yes coaches need coaches to push themselves in areas where they need to be pushed. While I knew what I needed to do and knew how to do the work, I really needed the accountability from my coach and someone to sit there and call me on my crap.
That's why I created my new signature program called Smarter Success to Fat Loss. This program is one of a kind as it brings together the nutriton, exercise, and mindset to get you the true change you need. It's not a crash diet plan or exercise each day for so many minutes. Instead it teaches you the foundation you need to be successful, working through the mental breakthroughs then building on where you are right now and where you want to be. If you are done exercising for hours a day, trying crash diets just to fail, and tired not liking what you see in the mirror then I want you to set up a free breakthrough session with me. In this session I help you uncover the missing link to where you are failing and how to overcome it. You can do that by clicking the link below

Hopson: Eagles must sharpen fundamentals
Dropped passes and missed tackles.
For everything that went wrong for Southern Miss – turnovers (3), penalties (16 for 135 yards), lopsided time of possession (35:54 to 24:03, advantage Troy), field position woes (on average, Troy's 19 drives began at its own 41-yard line) in last week's 37-31 loss to the Trojans – the Golden Eagle coaches repeatedly identified drops and poor tackling as the scapegoats.
First-year coach Jay Hopson shouldered all of the responsibility for Southern Miss' (2-1) setback.
"We have to work on our fundamentals," he said during the team's weekly press conference Monday. "Always put a loss on me. It's always my fault. We had some miscues, some missed executions. What we have to do is live and learn. We have to learn from it and get better this week."
Shannon Dawson, the Golden Eagles' first-year offensive coordinator, always points toward third down conversion rate as one of the more important factors in a game. In last week's loss, Southern Miss finished just 4-of-18 on third down. In the team's first two games of the season, it was 17-of-31 in similar situations.
Dawson counted eight drops against Troy by quarterback Nick Mullens' intended targets, noting that number represents an increase over the previous two games. But more critical, he said, were five of them coming on third down.
"We were really bad on third down," he said. "Drops hurt you. But drops on third down kill you. If we make the routine plays (against Troy), we have another great day offensively. Since we didn't, we had a very average day, or you could say a below average day.
"To have five drops on third down, that's (4-of-18) instead of (9-of-18). That's the difference in the game."
The Golden Eagles, 10 1/2-point home favorites against the Trojans, struggled in the battle for field position throughout the contest. Following the visitors' first touchdown, Troy's six scoring drives (three touchdowns, three field goals) began on Southern Miss' side of the 50-yard line. The Trojans needed 29 yards or less to score points on five of its seven scoring drives.
"We were backed up a lot early in the first half," Hopson said. "Those minus-yardage situations really kind of got to us in the first half, where 17 of their 24 points in the first half came when we were on the minus side walking onto the field."
Tony Pecoraro, Hopson's defensive coordinator, doesn't care.
"Sure, you look at that," he said. "But if the ball gets spotted on the 1-yard line, it's our job to prevent them from scoring. That's not an excuse. We've got to bail our brothers out and do our best to hold them to nothing."
Southern Miss travels to Texas-El Paso for its next game. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., and the contest will be streamed live by Campus Insiders.

Conflict between a trade name, or other sign used in the course of trade, and a european union trademark
The Spanish company RESIDENCE PALLADIUM filed opposition to the European Union trade mark application of the company FIESTA on the basis of its trade name GRAND HOTEL PALLADIUM, in particular for hotel services.
The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the General Court (EGC) having recognised the validity of the opposition, FIESTA appealed the decision before the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) on the grounds that it infringed in particular the conditions of application of Article 8(4) of Regulation No 207/2009 on the European Union Trade Mark (EUTMR).
By a judgment dated 19 April 2018, the ECJ confirmed the decision of partial cancellation of the trade mark as it infringed the prior rights of RESIDENCE PALLADIUM in its trade name GRAND HOTEL PALLADIUM and thereby clarified the four conditions for the application of EUTMR Article 8(4).
The ECJ referred to the four cumulative conditions of Article 8(4) for filing an opposition against a European Union trade mark (EUTM): (1) the sign (in this case the trade name GRAND HOTEL PALLADIUM) must be used in the course of trade; (2) it must have a scope which is not only local; (3) the right to that sign must have been acquired in accordance with the applicable law of the Member State in which that sign was used before the date of filing of the European Union trade mark application; (4) the right to that sign must enable its owner to prohibit the use of a more recent trade mark. The ECJ also stated that while the first two conditions are to be assessed under European Union law, the last two are to be assessed under the law of the relevant Member State.
Regarding the condition relating to the 'not only local' scope of the sign relied on.
The ECJ validated the EGC's decision for having taken into account both the geographical and economic scope of the sign relied on.
In this respect, the ECJ specified that the owner of an unregistered sign may prove its actual use in the course of trade as well as its scope by producing any element likely to prove that the sign is known in a significant part of the territory and not only locally. In particular, it may provide advertisements broadcast on the internet.
However, in order to claim rights over the trade name, a copy of the company's entry in the companies register is not by itself capable of proving use in the course of trade. Indeed, it is necessary to file commercial and advertising documents, such as emails, letters, invoices, catalogues, advertisements, website extracts and articles available on the internet in order to prove a significant prior use of the trade name because of its distribution in the territory claimed. These documents must indicate the trade name, be in relation to an offer of products or services that are part of the company's business activity, be dated and cover the entire period of time claimed, and contain elements that can prove that the sign has been used in the course of business in a significant part of the territory (addresses of customers, suppliers, mailing lists etc.).
Regarding the well-known nature of the sign required by Spanish national law.
FIESTA complained that the EGC did not consider whether the trade name GRAND HOTEL PALLADIUM was well-known as required by Article 9(1) of the Spanish Trade Mark Law.
However, the ECJ rejected that argument since the EGC could validly have relied on a Spanish decision which had become final and recognised the protection of the trade name GRAND HOTEL PALLADIUM. The ECJ also rightly considered that it does not fall within the competence of the EGC to take account in this respect of a Spanish jurisprudential and doctrinal controversy as regards the scope of the obligation to demonstrate the "use or notorious knowledge" of an unregistered sign within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the Spanish Trade Mark Law.
In order to oppose the registration of a trade mark on the basis of EUTMR Article 8(4), it is necessary and sufficient to invoke an earlier right which has not been invalidated by a court decision with res juridicata. Therefore, while the EGC was entitled to consider the decisions of the national courts concerned, it was not justified in making any assessment on the basis of those decisions.
In conclusion, in support of an opposition or invalidity action based on a sign used in the course of trade (in particular a trade name), it is recommended to produce any decisions recognising the protection of that sign.
Whether the sign relied on entitles its owner to prohibit the use of a more recent mark on the basis of EUTMR Article 8(4) and Article 9(1) of the Spanish Trade Mark Law.
Does the right to obtain the cancellation of a more recent mark on the basis of a trade name include, a fortiori, the right to oppose the use of that mark? The ECJ replied in the affirmative that, to the extent that the Spanish law provided for the possibility of opposing the use of a trade mark, the fourth condition of EUTMR Article 8(4) is considered to be fulfilled.
The ECJ highlighted that the requirement in Article 8(4) that "the sign invoked entitles its owner to prohibit the use of the contested trade mark" is to be assessed in the light of the applicable national law, and stated that that concept must be understood as encompassing the case in which the owner of a sign is, under the applicable national law, able to prevent such use by means of an action for invalidity brought against a more recent trade mark.
Regarding the rejection of the Spanish theory of "intermediate marks".
Spanish case law recognises the possibility for a defendant to rely, as a defence, on a trade mark that he has filed before the filing of a trade mark opposed to his new application for registration. In the present case, FIESTA owned an EU trade mark including the term PALLADIUM which had been registered prior to the date of first use of the trade name GRAND HOTEL. Fiesta accordingly complained that the EGC failed to take this prior filing date into account when assessing the validity of the opposition.
However, the ECJ rejected this argument since it was not raised in the opposition proceedings before the EUIPO, but only for the first time before the EGC.
Following that decision, the defendant should invoke its earlier rights in defence to the opposition, or even the fact that he holds a family of trade marks. In the latter case, he must prove that all the marks in that family are used and known to the public and that his new mark, because of its similarities with that series of marks, can be attributed by the public as having the same origin.
Since it is likely that the EUIPO will disregard this defence, the defendant should bring an invalidity action against the opposing trade mark on the basis of his prior rights.

Equity investments are a source of higher returns. We believe that the stock market can be divided into parts where different ways of operating are lucrative.
Many studies have shown that investing in value and small companies can yield better than average returns. That's why we actively seek out the best value- and small-company investments.
We invest in equities through funds, as customer-centred solutions and through structured equity investments.
Value investing is based on the premise that the price and value of a share or company are two different things. A subjective assessment of a company's business is of vital importance, so our portfolio managers meet with the management of hundreds of companies every year.
Based on analyses and meetings, our portfolio managers try to find the best value companies for our value funds, which invest in value companies in Finland, Scandinavia and German-speaking Europe.
Investment solution that focuses on attractively valued world leading companies in German-speaking Europe.
Small- and medium-sized companies offer considerable appreciation potential when they grow successfully or, for example, through a corporate acquisition. Most of these companies are not monitored by analysts so investing in them is an opportunity to put to use the information advantage and to try and identify future success stories. The aim of our expert portfolio management is to find the rising stars from such companies.
Open-end fund that invests in small companies listed in Germany, Switzerland and Austria
Structured products offer a broad variety of risk and return targets and they complement a traditional equity investment. We build structured investments utilising our equity outlook. By tailoring, we take into account the unique needs of each customer.
The premise behind our diversified equity investments is to diversify the investments geographically. Investment decisions rely on our equity outlook. We actively modify the weights based on geography, business sector, company size and a range of themes.

Alternator Calculations
How Long Will My Bike Run With All the Stuff I've Got On It
There is often concern over the capability of the charging system on the BMW twins. The alternators on all but the earlier twins (70's) are rated at 280 watts. This means that the maximum current available from these units is about 20 amps at 14 volts. If any more current is drawn from them the voltage will drop to less than 14 volts resulting in their inability to keep the battery charged. Furthermore this maximum output is only delivered at fairly high rpm (about 3500) due to the fact that the alternator rotor is connected directly to the crankshaft (rather that driven via a belt as on a car engine with a gearing up in rpm of at least 2 to 1).
In calculating how many accessories may be added to your bike it is not sufficient to simply assume that 280 watts is available. If most of your driving is around town with frequent stops at intersections and stop lights then you must take into account the time when the alternator is supplying no power and all power is being supplied from the battery. It is surprising when driving around a city how little time is spent running at 3000 rpm vs. spent sitting at traffic lights.
Let us try
a couple of examples. In these examples we will be referring to
the current used not the wattage.
A fully charged 20 amp hour battery could therefore run this system without charging for about 2.8 hours (20 amp hours divided by 7.2 amps = 2.78 hours). So if you find yourself away from home with a dead charging system your bike could probably run for a little over 2 hours assuming no other accessories were installed. This also assumes you don't use the brake too much as it draws about 2 amps or the turn signals at about 2.5 amps. And avoid using the starter.
If you disconnect the headlamp and tail lamp however you could probably run for over 6 hours (20 amp hours divided by 2.9 amps = 6.9 hours).
So far so good......
With extra lights and a heated vest this problem gets even worse. It's time to do your own math...
A Word About Voltage Regulators
|The higher the voltage across the battery the faster it will charge. There is a top limit of about 14.5 volts beyond which the battery can become damaged from overheating (the exact voltage depends on temperature, state of charge etc). Many BMW twins are fitted with voltage regulators set at 13.8 or 14.0 volts. Our fixed voltage regulators (often called high output regulators) are set at 14.3 volts which will result in faster charging thereby 'topping the battery up' faster between those stop lights. At the price this is a good addition to your system if you don't have already.
Our variable voltage regulators can be set to almost any voltage to fine tune the system, but be warned that too high a voltage can cause damage to the battery and other electrical components.
Bear in mind that the voltage regulator is really a voltage limiter. It prevents the voltage from the alternator exceeding a certain voltage which would cause damage to the battery and other electrical components. The voltage regulator cannot increase the output at low rpm. That is a function of the alternator stator and rotor design.
How to Test the Ignition Module
The ignition system of a bike equipped with electronic ignition consists if three major parts: the coil, the ignition trigger (can), and the ignition control unit (often called the ignition amplifier). The coil is usually easy to test, but verifying whether the trigger or the control unit has failed can be a bit more tricky.
Referring to the extract from a wiring diagram one can see that three wires go from the control unit to the ignition module. Two are positive (power - pin 5) and negative (ground - pin 3) power, the third being the trigger wire (pin 6). Each time the trigger goes to ground a spark should be generated in the coil.
Testing the control unit therefore should be as simple as powering the unit up and grounding the trigger wire.
The procedure is as follows:
1) Unplug the connector that connects the harness from the trigger unit to the harness from the control unit. Be careful as there is a small wire spring clip holding the connector together.
2) Remove one plug from the engine, reconnect the ignition wire and lay it on the cylinder such that the plug body is grounded and you can see the spark gap.
3) Stick a pin or fine wire into the center connector of the connector coming from the control unit (the one unplugged in step 1).
4) With the ignition switched on, momentarily ground the pin/wire coming from the center connector. Each time you do this you should get a spark at the spark plug. This will indicate that the control unit is operational.
Do remember however that it is not unheard of for the amplifier (or any other piece of electronics for that matter), to operate perfectly when cold and fail when warm/hot.
The above is copied from a full wiring diagram. Although not drawn in the diagram, the trigger wire (to pin 6 of the unit) really is the center connector..
Want to Test the Ignition Trigger Can??
This takes a bit more electrical equipment and knowledge but here goes.........
The ignition can contains a Hall effect sensor, a magnet, and a slotted metal cylinder which rotates between the magnet and the sensor. This causes a voltage on the output pin to vary thereby triggering the input pin of the ignition control unit.
Note the diagram showing how to wire the connector off the bike for testing. The unit is powered from a 9 to 12 volt power supply (battery), and the output from the sensor (center pin) is pulled high through a 10 kilohm resistor. As the shaft on the cannister is rotated, voltage from the center output pin will fluctuate between a few millivolts and V+ (9 to12 volts). If this makes sense to you, go for it. If it doesn't then it might be wise not to invite trouble.
With the unit on the bike, you can test this unit by carefully locating the center wire and connecting the voltmeter between this wire and ground. A useful way to make the connection to the wire is by sticking a pin through the insulation until it makes contact with the wire inside. Be careful that the pin does not touch the engine case. With the engine cranking you should see the voltage on the meter fluctuate at the sensor switches on and off.
Remember that this will not show up intermittent or heat related faults.
Good luck
Simple (but accurate) Diagram of Boxer Charging System
This diagram should give you all you need to diagnose most basic charging system problems.
Referring to the diagram:
With the ignition on (switch closed) and the engine off current flows from the battery, through the charge light, the voltage regulator and the rotor to ground. This provides the initial excitation (magnetization) to the rotor to get the alternator working when the engine is started. If the rotor is open (broken wire), the brushes worn out, the charge lamp burnt out or some other fault in this circuit, curent will not flow, the charge light will not illuminate and the alternator will not operate correctly.
With the engine on and running fast enough for the alternator to produce a voltage above that of the battery (ie it is charging), the voltage at the B+ and D+ terminals of the diode board are equal. Because of this no current will flow between the D+ and B+ terminals and the charge light will be extinguished.
Current from the B+ terminal will go to charging the battery and current from the D+ terminal will be available (via the voltage regulator) to magnetize the rotor.
As the rpm drops, the alternator will not produce sufficient voltage to charge the battery and the voltage at the D+ terminal will drop below the voltage of the battery. Because the B+ terminal is tied directly to the battery, its voltage will be maintained at battery voltage.
The voltage at the battery is now higher than the D+ voltage and current will therefore flow from the battery through the charge lamp, the voltage regulator and the rotor to ground and the charge lamp will again light.
As the RPM increases the voltage at D+ again increases until it equals battery voltage and the lamp again goes out. When the voltage at the D+ terminal (which is equal to the B+ terminal if the voltage is above the battery voltage) exceeds a specified voltage, the voltage regulator cuts power to the rotor, reducing its magnetism thereby limiting the maximum voltage output from the alternator to a safe value.
From this you can understand the common test for the voltage regulator. Remove the regulator, and short the DF and D+ terminals in the plug. With a voltmeter across the battery, does the voltage increase to 14.5 volts and more as the RPM's are increased? (Stop at 15 volts as damage can result). This test works because the voltage regulator is out of the circuit - remember that the voltage regulator is really a voltage limiter.
Wire colors (most probable):
DF regulator to stator - BLUE/BLACK or BLACK
D+ diode board to regulator - BLUE
D- regulator to ground (usually grounded on brush holder) - BROWN
Strange electrical problems.......
R75/5 - Charging light failed, now the starter won't work......
Had a guy phone here hoping I could help with this problem on his R75/5. Basically his starter wouldn't work, and after replacing the starter protection relay, he was preparing to replace the starter and was wondering if we did rebuilds. As it turns out the problem had nothing to do with starters.
Over the phone we checked all the starter circuits with a meter. Most of this can be done from the connections onto the starter relay itself. Here you can check that the starter switch makes contach with ground when pressed, you can trigger the starter motor by shorting the appropriate contacts together etc. Everything checked out and therefore the problem seemed to be the starter protection relay - but he had already replaced that part. He then mentioned that after he had fixed the starter he was going to work on a charging problem. Seems that the charging light was never coming on when the ignition switch was turned on.
Bingo! or is it Eureka?
On the /5, the starter protection relay is supposed to prevent the starter operating accidently with the engine running. (supposed to - in reality it doesn't work very well at idle - read on). It does this by connecting to the charging system at D+ (see the diagram above). Here is senses the voltage and if it is above a certain value it disables the starter circuit.
works something like this....
So we checked out that part of the circuit and did find a bad rotor. To compound the problem, it appeared that the rotor problem was intermittent - the bike would start once, then refuse to crank the next time. When the bike was refusing to crank, a test across the rotor slip rings confirmed an open rotor winding.

Oregon Artisans:
An occasional FOODday series highlighting some of the innovators in our state's artisanal food scene.
Back in 2003, Markus Mead touched down in Japan for a skiing and surfing vacation. Somewhere along the way, he got sidetracked. "I spent more time eating ramen and enjoying the pleasures of the table than anything else," he says.
Besides delicious ramen, what really turned his head was the fresh wasabi -- Japanese horseradish -- grated over the top. The condiment, revered in Japan and nothing like what passes for wasabi in this country, was gloriously pungent and vegetal. Eight years later, Mead, a city planner, and his wife, Jennifer Bloeser, a marine biologist, grow and harvest wasabi on the Oregon coast using traditional Japanese methods.
Recipes included with this story: Wasabi Mashed Potatoes, Wasabi Vinaigrette, Wasabi Martini.
Frog Eyes Wasabi, one of a handful of U.S. growers and the only wasabi producer in Oregon.
The market:
Since harvesting their first wasabi in spring, their prized rhizomes have caught the eye of chefs on both coasts and show up on tables in Michelin-starred restaurants throughout Europe. Chef Masaharu Morimoto of "Iron Chef America" fame loves it, Mead says, and requested an emergency shipment to New York a few weeks ago.
You won't find it on local menus yet, but chefs from Park Kitchen and Bamboo Sushi are interested.
The Oregon edge:
Wasabi turned out to be a perfect match for land the couple already owned near Tillamook. "It's light-phobic and it doesn't like to freeze or get too hot, which fits the coast perfectly," Mead says. A year into the business, plants are producing high-quality wasabi in 12 months vs. the typical 18. In fact, Frog Eyes holds the record for the largest wasabi grown in North America, after Mead harvested a 246-gram (about 8-ounce) rhizome the size of a fat ear of corn. "Every week we're finding larger and larger plants. And we're just getting started."
The eats:
Don't confuse fresh wasabi with the green paste you'll find at most Japanese restaurants in the U.S. That's horseradish paste mixed with varying amounts of wasabi and spiked with food coloring. The real deal is sharp and pungent, with the punch fading quickly into a distinct vegetal finish (think asparagus or artichoke).
Hot or sweet:
Frog Eyes produces two varieties of Wasabia japonica, Daruma (neon green, modest heat with a touch of sweetness) and Mazuma (darker with a purple ring inside, very hot and robust). "People are amazed that there is such a distinct difference," Mead says. The hotter Mazuma is good with meat dishes, soup and dressings, he says, while sweeter Daruma works well with noodle dishes, cabbage salads and veggie wraps.
The plants:
Thick, knobby rhizomes sprout from the plant just above ground level and are harvested when they're 3 to 6 inches long. The palm-size leaves and long stems also are edible; Mead likes to stir-fry them or use the stems in a Bloody Mary.
The farm:
Mountain streambeds are the plant's natural habitat. Though some Japanese wasabi is cultivated in soil, the highest quality product is water-grown, with plants sprouting from gravel-laced terraces through which streams are diverted. At Frog Eyes, they use a proprietary cultivation method pioneered 15 years ago by former botany professor Brian Oates, another Northwest wasabi grower. Plants take root in gravel-laced beds inside a greenhouse and get regular water from an overhead irrigation system.
Prep it:
Grate wasabi just before serving it; the flavor fades quickly once the cells are crushed and the paste is exposed to air. Use a Microplane, a ginger grater, even a cheese grater.
Eat it:
Of course it's delicious with sushi and sashimi, but also, suggests Mead, on hamburgers and steaks and mixed into eggs, soup, salad dressing and Asian noodles. Wasabi-infused vodka makes a great Bloody Mary. There's also mashed potatoes laced with grated wasabi, and one of Mead's favorite pasta dishes that combines udon noodles (hot or cold), sautéed green vegetables and onions, sesame oil, soy sauce and grated Daruma wasabi.
Keep it:
Refrigerate fresh wasabi (the rhizome) as you would fresh ginger, wrapped in a damp paper towel or loosely in plastic. It will keep for at least a week or two.
Find it:
Locally at Uwajimaya, New Seasons' Cedar Hills store.
Price point:
$5-$7 per ounce, which is about 1 inch of rhizome, enough for dozens of sashimi bites or several large bowls of pasta.
Prepping fresh wasabi:
1. Brush rhizome with a stiff brush under running water to clean. Remove any untrimmed roots.
2. Cut about 1/4 inch below leaf stems.
3. Using a grater, grind from the cut end of the rhizome using a circular motion and keeping the rhizome at a 90-degree angle to the grater. This is important: It minimizes dissipation of volatile chemicals, which (like onion and horseradish fumes) cause tearing.
4. Grate only what will be consumed within 15 to 20 minutes, as the flavor will start to dissipate.

Last week saw the first Woodlore U.K. course of 2014 take place. This year we kicked things off with our Advanced Tracking course, held in the beautiful countryside of East Sussex.
Guided by the staff, the clients roamed amongst ancient woodland of oak, beech and yew as they followed the trails left by man and beast. Having completed previous tracking courses with us, this was an opportunity to delve much deeper into the art of tracking, build on their current knowledge and put new skills and techniques to the test in challenging, exciting and realistic scenarios.

NBCU-NWS JV Hulu Launches With Private Beta Portal, Open Distribution; Sony, MGM Deals
After more than a year of speculation and months of promises, the ambitious gamble by NBC Universal (NYSE: GE) and News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) that they can create a major video service launches overnight on a variety of fronts. Dubbed Hulu, the video JV goes live with current and archived TV shows, clips and a cluster of feature films in a mix of private and public forms: small-scale private-beta destination portal hulu.com; distribution service Hulu on major portals, and shared/embedded video. CEO Jason Kilar explained during an interview/demo: "You've got a lot of passionate people … It's not just about hulu.com, it's about the web, letting this content go out to the neighborhoods people frequent. We don't want to assume the users will come to the content." (We've posted some screengrabs provided by Hulu.)
The multi-pronged approach should reduce some of the pressure on hulu.com's private beta. Just as Kilar, who joined the JV several months after it was announced, refused to be pushed into launching the private beta or the service to meet a late summer timeline, he won't be pinned down on timing for moving to public beta but said it probably will be early next year: "I don't have a specific timetable in mind. … We'll go out when the service is ready. I would measure that in a few months."
Investment/M&A: Hulu is making official what's been well known and confirmed for months — a $100 million investment from Providence Equity Partners. (We reported in May that NewCo hoped to sell as much as 10 percent for $100 million and a $1 billion valuation.) Kilar didn't confirm the acquisition of Mojiti, the video annotation site founded by CTO Eric Feng; he did say that they're "currently not evaluating any acquisitions."
Hulu.com: Destination portal hulu.com starts with thousands of invites to a private beta designed to test scale and provide dynamic feedback. Kilar describes it as "a technical beta, not a marketing beta … We're going to start in the thousands and ramp it up from there. We'll grow it successively in coming days and weeks." Feedback and suggestion options are threaded throughout the site, including the video player tools. Users can vote shows up or down, pop the player out of the browser for multitasking, share and embed video, see metadata. What hulu.com is not, Kilar says, is a user gen service: "That's not our ambition, not our focus." (I'll have a first-look report after the service goes live.)
Hulu distribution: Until the private beta opens up, most Hulu users are likely to enter through one of five major portals with reach to most of the U.S. broadband population: AOL, (NYSE: TWX) MSN, MySpace, Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) and Comcast's (NSDQ: CMCSA) Fancast. Hulu's browser-based, home-cooked video player is skinned to match the look and feel of each partner's portal. The service has been in testing for some time but publicly available content rolling out now. Kilar: "The look and feel is very different. We're serving the video, serving the advertising."
Embedded content: In addition, even though Hulu.com is in private beta, embedded content posted by beta testers will be accessible to anyone. For instance, if I post the latest episode from Friday Night Lights or a clip from SNL here, you should be able to watch it without having direct access to the portal.
Advertising: Launch advertisers include Cisco, (NSDQ: CSCO) Toyota, Nissan, General Motors and Intel. (NSDQ: INTC) Where ever it's being viewed, Hulu's content is free and ad supported. Hulu's advertising uses title cards and limited chapter breaks for TV episodes with fewer ads than the same show would have on TV, and follows existing chapters for feature films. Hulu uses overlays for clips; users can click on on an overlay in some cases, watch an ad while the video pauses, then can go back to the video. They can also ditch the ad after they start. Most shows will be single advertiser but some may not have enough ads. Kilar: "I'm not religious about it. I don't want to be in a situation where the user has to watch the same ad again and again."
DVD sales: No electronic sell thru for now but Hulu will get a cut of any DVDs sold through hulu.com.
Content: A mix of full-length episodes from current and library TV shows, clips and a small starter batch of feature films. Content from new shows should be up by the morning after they first run. Literally at the last minute this weekend, Hulu finalized deals with Sony (NYSE: SNE) Pictures Television and MGM Studios. More than 40 television shows from Sony will be available at hulu.com while MGM TV shows and feature films will be available through the Hulu service. (Sony owns Seinfeld but no word yet about its presence on Hulu.)
What's actually available also varies from show to show. For instance, NBC is providing the trailing five episodes of Heroes and only clips from other episodes while Fox is posting the full first season of veteran hit 24 and some full episodes from last season so people can get caught up before the new season launches.
NBCU and News Corp. pledged early on to include prime-time programming from NBC and Fox and from their movie studios. Still no deal with CBS (NYSE: CBS) but 15 cable nets are contributing, including NBCU's Bravo (no sign of Top Chef, Project Runway, etc.), SciFi and USA; several Fox nets including FX; and Comcast nets including E and Versus. Also represented: indie online providers, Reveille Productions, Smithsonian Networks, and World Wrestling Entertainment.

June 11, 2015
It rained for the first time in a month a week ago and the Fowler's Toads and Gray Tree Frogs have come out to play at night every night since then. The result is hundreds of 1/8 inch long Fowler's Toad tadpoles swimming about the drainage swale. I will be watching and recording as much as I can until they hop away.
But I will also keep an eye on the weather charts. In just a week the pond has shrunk considerably and if there is no appreciable rain, it will be dry in 2 weeks. As the tadpoles need at least 6 weeks to transform into toads, reproductive success this year is still very iffy. About all the tadpoles do is eat and rest, so the video brings you home with some special guests.

"Jane Fleishman has brought a breath of fresh air into a conversation no one seemed ready to take on. Her ability to speak frankly about sexuality has given our leadership and staff a new way to broaden our understanding of wellness for the residents in our community."
-Beth Cardillo, M.Ed., LSW, CDP, Executive Director, Armbrook Village, Westfield, MA
"Thank you so much for the opportunity for us to give you some insight on our lives together since the 1969 Stonewall rebellion. We appreciated your professionalism and ability to grasp the facts of our story. Thank you again for including our story in your book."
-David Velasco Bermudez, Stonewall Veteran & Bob Isadore, Spouse
"We were looking for a presenter to speak about how to deal with inappropriate sexual advances from residents/elders, particularly those with cognitive impairments. This is something we come across often enough (whether it be resident to staff or resident to resident), and we want to be able to provide our line staff the best tools to deal with these situations. We were very pleased with the presentation that Dr. Jane Fleishman gave to our staff. It is clear that staff have been able to apply it to their work. We definitely will call on her again in the future."
-Kristy Livingston, Director, Marketing & Admissions, Heywood Wakefield Commons, Gardner, MA
"I worked with Jane co-collaborating a product within AARP's Innovation Lab, The Hatchery, focused on older adult sexuality. To say that it has been a pleasure would be a vast understatement. Jane Fleishman is the best of the best and a true expert in this field. Her knowledge and passion for seniors is evident, contagious and she truly sheds light on the beauty that is intimacy and connection in our older years. Jane is creative, warm, whip-smart and embodies the essence of aging with dignity. She approaches her work with a sense of commitment and openness that brings others to do the same. What a gift it has been to get to create something together."
-Brittany Fleck, Innovation Catalyst, AARP Innovation Labs
"I thoroughly enjoyed Jane Fleishman's presentation on the Stonewall Generation, sexuality, and aging. Her message is positive, frank, humorous, and full of the most current information. She's accessible and well-versed in the issues that LGBTQ elders face."
-Lisa Krinsky, LICSW, Director, LGBT Aging Project, The Fenway Institute
"Old does not mean dead. In our eighties we are more in love than ever, trusting where we have come from to help us know where we are going. It was good to be included in this important book about an historic time and event. Jane Fleishman created a warm, trusting space in which we were able to share our story."
-Lovingly, Edie and Jackie
"Jane is helping to give voice to a population that often has theirs taken from them. It's no surprise, then, that her work requires public speaking. But just because someone can speak, and just because someone can go into the public to do it, doesn't mean they can do it effectively. Jane not only can, she does. With exceptional humor, great love, and scientific data, which can be dry as dust without the humor and love. They're at the core of what moves us to tears and action. She knows the aging train is headed in only one direction. You can either hop on board or suffer the consequences yourself. But because she does it with a twinkle in her, the truth goes down as terribly human and humane. She's the woman to spread a powerful message of hope and change."
-Julia Mines, Executive Speaker Coach

As one of Europe's largest meat importers and a producer of high-quality meat products, Zandbergen is now looking forward to working with the industry's most successful newcomer in the US. "As a family business, we always think about the long-term relationship we want to build with our customers. If we want to maintain our leading role in the meat industry, we have to adapt to the changing consumption behavior of consumers," explained Joris Zandbergen. "In the future, we see ourselves as a supplier who meets the different protein needs of our customers and isn't just a meat supplier."
Beyond Meat is widely regarded as a leader in plant-based meat alternative products and is now expanding into Europe after explosive growth in the US market.

Technology is a neat thing.
Yes, the imaginary audience shakes their head to such a generic statement, technology is a wonderful thing. What I mean by this is that the advent of 3-D printing is going to be capable of helping engineers do some amazing things they couldn't do before. We've been seeing this tech put to medical use and even at NASA. Chrysler engineers have been using 3-D printing to help them figure out how to improve their vehicles, in particular the axles.
By using the printers, the engineers were able to make clear plastic versions of the axles and other parts to get a more clear (no pun intended) picture of what was going on. This is a major improvement over the previous method of using a dynamometer viewed through a window in the part.
How will this affect the future of vehicles is anyone's guess. It will definitely help the engineers as they put together plans for the next generation of Chrysler powertrains. It is only a matter of time before these kinds of innovations help to create more efficient engines. First the axles and who knows how else using 3-D printers can help.
If you want to have your car looked at, then you can schedule a time to be seen by the service department at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge by going to our service tab on the website. You can also keep up with your service appointments by downloading our mobile app to view details in real time on your vehicle when brought in for a service appointment.

When Marie Osmond fainted live on last week's Dancing with the Stars 5 performance show, the audience initially laughed. But during two recaps of last week's show during Monday's performance show, the clip showed the audience gasping in horror instead.
The original laughter, which was followed by stunned silence, is clearly audible on video clips of the incident, and there was no "ooh"ing at all. Yet during the Tom Bergeron-narrated recap, the editors replaced the audio from last week's live show with some other audio. Tom himself acknowledged and identified with the audience's awkward reaction, telling Ryan Seacrest, "At first you can hear the audience laugh because they thought, like I did, that it was theatrics."
But that's no longer true, at least according to the new Ministry of Truth versions of the incident. The first recap, which came during the opening moments, was heavily stylized, with a booming thud accompanying her fall that eclipsed the thud heard from Marie's microphone last week. The second preceded their performance toward the end of the episode, and the audience again gasps in horror, with an extended, echoing "ooh."
At the very least, the editors could have cut from the fall to the aftermath without including the audience's laughter, rather than revising history with a fictional soundtrack.
