Recipe: Pisco Punch
Makes 12 servings
3 cups Pineapple Simple Syrup (recipe follows, see Note)
1 (750-milliliter) bottle (about 31/4 cups) pisco
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
1 cup pineapple juice
2 1/2 tablespoons Peychaud's bitters
1 cup pineapple chunks (reserved from Pineapple Simple Syrup; see Note)
1 large ice block
Pineapple Simple Syrup
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 pineapple, cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks
Instructions: Prepare Pineapple Simple Syrup.
In a large punch bowl, combine pisco, 3 cups Pineapple Simple Syrup, lemon juice, lime juice, pineapple juice, bitters and pineapple chunks and stir until thoroughly blended. Add the ice.
To serve, ladle into punch glasses or teacups.
Note: You can substitute a Pineapple Simple Syrup, such as Monin brand, for the homemade version here. If you do that, replace the reserved pineapple in the punch with an equal amount of fresh or canned pineapple chunks.
For Pineapple Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. When syrup starts to boil, lower heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, add pineapple chunks, and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Strain syrup and reserve pineapple for the punch. Stored separately in covered containers in the refrigerator, the syrup will keep for about 1 week, and the pineapple will keep for about 2 days.

It's been… More than a year since I've uploaded anything to this blog. During that time only thing I've written long form were occasional tumblr posts dealing with what's been happening in my life or some dry master plan to rule the universe through the power of science, typical student stuff.
I've stopped blogging on this site ever since I started working at Genspace NYC as one of its co-founders and one of the three people who actually did things in the lab instead of talking about biosafety. In retrospect I should have expected to spend a huge chunk of my life helping to plan and run a fully functioning molecular biology lab on shoestring budget, but I never really realized what kind of commitment it would be before it hit me in the face full force. During the heydays of doing projects in the lab I was spending about 12 hours per day running experiments, no weekends, no vacations. And that was while working full-time in other jobs too, since nothing at Genspace paid anything… Well, that's not strictly true. I did earn enough here and there to get by if I didn't have to worry about rent and supporting other people, but alas, that's not the case for me.
Now that I look back at it I feel like I was dreaming for the past three or so years. I dreamt that I was contributing to some pioneering vision, each hour spent while almost blanking out from lack of sleep building toward something greater. Something that might even change the world into a bit more agreeable place. Now, the dream is over. It's been over for the past half a year, it's only that I lived in rather characteristically stubborn denial during that time, probably causing some level of annoyance to some of the other Genspacers.
I've resigned all my positions at the Genspace NYC lab. I'm not a board member, not an officer, and not a member of the space, though I still have to get all the books and other things I've built up in there out. And I think I made the right choice.
Stepping back from Genspace brought me some new perspective, some of which I'm still trying to get used to. Maybe I'll write about some of the lessons once my head is completely cleared up… I'm still suffering from a bit of a shell shock. Here's a short, non-comprehensive list before I forget them later though.
- DIYbio is not amateur biology
- Issues of biosafety, a byproduct of initial DIYbio hype being tied to the hype about synthetic biology, completely poisoned good people and good initiatives
- Despite the biosafety scare no constructive discussion on potential safety and other broader concerns about amateur genetic engineering ever took place. If it did I never heard about it in my three years of genetically engineering e.coli and plants in a warehouse in Brooklyn, some of them involving processes using toxic chemicals -disposed properly, of course
- Involvement of FBI in reaching out to the DIYbio-amateur genetic engineering community was a double edged sword, in that it helped form a weird perception of hierarchy in some of the people who were in more direct contact with the FBI
- One of the direct negative results of the biosafety scare and FBI involvement was creation of a group of amateurs whose sole responsibility, in a sense, is to tell other amateurs what to do. Coincidentally those people rarely have any projects under their belt, and are usually not very literate in lab safety practices due to utter lack of experience
- Considering that no one really listens to above group of people anyway (except maybe reporters, grant organizations and the FBI, none of whom practices garage biohacking, to my knowledge) it's only served to keep people who had running projects underground due to potential nagging from strangers with no valuable input
- Despite my comments, I still give high marks to the FBI for deciding not to just tap everybody's phone. It would have been a waste of their resources, and I view their assessment as very accurate
- TED conference is the hip rich people's leadership seminar camp, with some amazing thinkers and respectable individuals thrown in (unlike leadership seminar camps). Still so much better and inclusive than Davos. Perhaps even more effective
- Maker Faires are what dreams are made of, and more places should have them
- It's incredibly easy to put together a minimal molecular biology lab. I just finished putting mine together outside Genspace for about a thousand dollars, including essential reagents. I also helped one of my students put his own together
- Community lab model doesn't work as is. Current model assumes new members to be incompetent, in a sense. At least not good enough to work in a 'real lab.' And current models drive managers of the community lab to have vested interest in keeping most of the members scientifically illiterate after a certain point, with a few outliers
- Education should be done by educators. Scientists should provide the materials the educators can work with – reproducibility and clear, comprehensive documentation
- There are more than a few high schools out there that covers genetic engineering with their students. There are a few that even covers synthetic biology
- Despite relatively minimal PR, they tend to have worse access to equipment and reagents than most DIYbio/amateur genetic engineering labs, but have better results
I'm definitely missing a whole boatload of important points. I'll get back to them later when it's not seven AM with zero sleep last night.
Outside of reflecting on what I've been doing for the past three years of my life, I also got a chance to get in touch with and work with lots of interesting people around the city. It turns out that the DIYbio-NYC list I founded couple of years ago was moderator locked after a group vote (that later grew into Genspace) due to potential security issues, and interested people around the city did not have a place to converse about local going-ons with each other. So I just remedied that problem as well.
Here's a message that went out to people last night:
Good news, everyone 😉
I've just turned off all the moderation settings on the diybio-nyc mailing list, and renamed it email@example.com
The list was dead for a while what with everyone needing permission to post on it (which was in place by group decision at the time, what with biosafety scares and all). It was also true that there just weren't that many people out there who were working on stuff as well.
Well I've been talking to quite a few number of new yorkers out there and things are happening all over the city now. And there has to be a place for people to brainstorm and meet up with each other with a little local flavor. Keeping the list moderated like in the past would have been disservice to the community at large.
Hopefully this can serve as one of the many springboards available in NYC to help aspiring biohackers learn their trade.
Spread the word, join up yourself, be excellent to each other and have fun!
And yes, I changed the name from DIYBio-NYC to biohack-nyc because
1) as a screw-you to people who are still scared of the term hacker
2)I keep hearing things about the term/group DIYbio that makes me feel like it's something I can't agree with.
Hopefully this will begin to attract some brilliant minds that I know are out there to coming out of their genetic engineering closet. And maybe some activity will spur me to write a whole lot more as a well. God knows I really need to.
edit: before I pass out, I want to go on the record as having said that, despite personal differences, almost everything I know about biology now I learned from Ellen Jorgensen and Oliver Medvedik from Genspace NYC. And I still recommend students and hobbyists go check out the Genspace NYC lab over at 33 Flatbush ave, because, quite frankly, there's nothing else like it.

Here at Chez BA we have two dogs and a cat. They get along, kinda. There's a lot of sniffing followed by swatting, for example, and the occasional spirited if short-lived chase.
But there is also harmony. Sometimes. It's common for the animals to fall asleep together on the couch, and it's usually extremely cute. I saw Canis Major and Leo (not their real names) napping on the couch recently, and thought what a sweet picture that would make. But when I took the shot…
This explains a lot of things, including the worried look on Canis Major's face, and the recurring red marks on my arms.

At the Municipal Market of Calella we find the perfect place to buy fresh quality products, in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Located in the city centre, in the Plaza del Rey, the Calella market opens the doors to a tasting of smells and flavours, in a nineteenth-century style building that invites you to capture all the details. The historic building is a project of the architect Jeroni Martorell, built in 1927, and offers the singularity of reproducing the baroque façades of "masías", the Catalan farmhouses of the area.
It is wonderful to go shopping to the market or just browsing around the stalls, savour the reds, yellows and greens of fruits and vegetables, the silver of fish… A combination of colours, forms and flavours that mix with the buzz and conversations of people. All the stalls offer you the best local products, from Maresme strawberries to squids, cuttlefish and seafood of the waters along the region. And if you do not feel like cooking, don't worry; the market will do it for you! Come to the New Market Bar and you will find a very special service: you bring the ingredients and they prepare it to your taste.
Throughout the year, the market beats with the rhythm of celebrations, workshops and activities that make this place a gastronomic and social meeting point. Every week the multifunctional hall of the market becomes a dance floor for the elderly. In spring, during the celebration of Moments of Flowers, the space becomes a small green oasis full of flowers and seasonal plants. And when summer is coming and the nights are brighter for longer, here comes the expected Night of Tapas, a gastronomic tasting of the best local cuisine to enjoy in the company of friends, neighbours and visitors. The market and its surroundings are filled with tables to savor the tastings made with market produce, in a relaxed and festive atmosphere. There is no shortage of fun, with inflatable castle for younger children and good music for everyone!

Sleep time is healing time. While you are asleep, your body heals your organs, joints, and muscles. In order to recuperate, you must have good, deep sleep.
Within the first two years, foam mattresses sag up to 25%
The proper sleep position is lying on the side with a pillow tucked between the legs. There should be a straight line down the spine. Soft and sagging mattresses are detrimental to the effectiveness of our sleep. The neck and hips overextend as our bodies form to the shape of the mattress. The muscles can no longer relax as some of them are stretched in the misalignment. You toss and turn during sleep, disrupting the healing process. When you wake up you feel groggy, and are tired throughout the day.
Foam mattresses can emit toxins
A regular mattress is steeped in toxic chemicals, including the preservative formaldehyde, boric acid (what is used to kill cockroaches), antimony (similar to arsenic), and the fire retardant polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Your typical foam mattress continually releases these toxins for years. They are linked to asthma, allergies, neurological disorders, SIDS, reproductive problems, thyroid disruption, and various forms of cancer.
There are better mattresses
Gerber Chiropractic recommends the Intellibed. This mattress is made by food-grade mineral oil. Typical spring or memory foam mattresses increase resistance the more pressure is placed on it, which is transferred to your body. When enough pressure is applied to the Intellibed gel walls, they buckle and drop surface pressure. The result is a deeper, more restful sleep.

Simple really....can't see why I didn't think of it before.
I have a New Year's resolution (although it's now nearly midway through the second month of the year) which is to "Not Waste My Time Going To Infrastructure Meetings". Meetings involving student progress, student welfare and academic research I will attend as these all relate to real, tangible 'things', are chaired by real people who use real words and get real things done. The only purpose of Infrastructure / Management / Board (Bored) Meetings that I can see is to effortlessly remove 3 hours of your life with no appreciable gain, other than to justify the existence of those who really ought to be a) doing some proper work or b) being made redundant (preferably the latter).
When I got home I flicked on the evening news to be confronted with an article assessing the current conflict (it's not a 'war' apparently) in
A spokesman for the Con/Dem UK government added (helpfully) that
So that's all right then.

Best-Practices Leadership
A leader in an organization can't do everyone's job. Instead of micromanaging, strong leaders use organizational leadership to coordinate, communicate, motivate and delegate among employees and team members. For comprehensive organizational effectiveness, each individual needs to be seen as a contributor, with the leader at the helm.
Most importantly, best-practices leadership involves keeping employees motivated throughout the process, adapting your scope or strategy as necessary, and developing an effective communication strategy.
Some people never make it to the other side because they're more successful at being doers. This is a crucial point in determining if you're going to move up the ranks.

Sydney Council Wants To Ban Cats Going Outside
In an unprecedented move, Randwick City Council is looking to put laws in place that would see domestic cats living indoors permanently.
The council's new Labor mayor Kathy Neilson has proposed a motion to stop cats going outside and defecating anywhere but in a litter tray.
Cr Neilson wants fines for cats that "run free or defecate in public places of neighbouring properties".
She also wants to raise registration fees for cat owners.
But not everyone supports the proposal, with Liberal councillor Harry Stavrinos telling news.com.au:
"It's very unfair to be targeting the owners of cats," he said.
"It just outrageous. It will not be able to be police these archaic and laughable laws and it will be a huge waste of time.
"We've got more serious things to do and it can't be the cat police and send people out to watch cats defecating on lawns."
However, Greens councillor Philipa Veitch backed the controversial motion at a council meeting last week, saying:
"There are a lot of issues impacting on our native plants and animals," she said, according to the Southern Courier.
"They are really under threat … there has been a decline in birds in our area."
Meanwhile, Australia's Threatened Species Commissioner Sally Box said:
"Roaming domestic cats kill about 60 million birds a year," she told the Weekend Australian in June.
"A large number of threatened species occur in urban areas and I think people don't appreciate just how far their cats go.
"We're encouraging people to have their pets microchipped, desexed and contained at night. "We have some cat containment suburbs (in the ACT) and councils across the country are starting to take up the issue.
"It's not about preventing people from having cats — they are important companions for a lot of people. We're just trying to encourage responsible pet ownership."

What you eat and how often you eat can easily affect your development of tooth decay. Our teeth are covered with a sticky firm of bacteria called plaque. If your don't clean your teeth after eating , plaque converts sugar and foods into acids that can attack your tooth enamel. It cannot be removed by our regular brushing and flossing, to prevent cavities and maintain good oral health, your diet — what you eat and how often you eat are important factors. Changes in your mouth start the minute you eat certain foods. Bacteria in the mouth convert sugars and carbohydrates from the foods you eat to acids, and it's the acids that begin to attack the enamel on teeth, starting the decay process. The more often you eat and snack, the more frequently you are exposing your teeth to the cycle of decay.

Okay, this is seriously great for my kid in the house. Sure the paper might rough up the discs eventually, but nothing compared to leaving them on the floor.Really it is all about relative damage levels. Even in 2017, years after this ible was written, and with Alexa and Google voice-activated streaming music, this still works.It is random access, all discs are available at once.You don't have to fumble with a wallet or other holder. They can take a bit of effort, and my kid is all about the path of least resistance and quickest results.

Suphanburi Province is situated in Central Thailand. Whilst there are many things to do in Suphanburi, it is sadly often overlooked by travellers.
It is a great place to see a piece of interesting and traditional Thailand that has not been taken over by the tourist masses. There is a diverse ethnic makeup to the province. Only an hour or so away from Bangkok by road, Suphanburi is easy to get to.
These are some of the best things to do in Suphanburi:
Visit Some Fascinating Temples
Wat Phra Rup Temple contains a stunning reclining Buddha statue, said to have the most beautiful face in the whole of Thailand. It is a picture of pure serenity. It is also home to the only wooden carved Buddha's footprint in all the country. It is truly unique. In Wat No Phutthangkun you can admire some outstanding murals. Wat Pratu San is also a lovely temple in Suphanburi.
Shop at an Old Market
Sam Chuk 100 Year Old Market is alongside the banks of the Ta Chin River. The charming wooden buildings house a variety of stalls, with a vast selection of different products.
Make sure you try some of the delicious sweet treats on offer. It is a great place to pick up a few souvenirs.
Learn About Thai Agriculture at a Buffalo Farm
You can see these important animals up close and learn about the vital role they have played throughout Thailand's agricultural history. They are also still used by some farmers today. Watch a buffalo show – they are unique and, most people would say, somewhat ridiculous! They are very entertaining though. You can also see farming tools.
Soak up Some Culture at the Western National Theatre
At this theatre you can learn about music from the area, as well as local dancing and watch a selection of cultural performances.
See Animals and Aquatic Life at Bueng Chawak
Bueng Chawak is a large freshwater swampy lake. It is home to a wide selection of flora and fauna. Next to the lake there is a zoo, with a decent selection of animals including tigers, mere cats, snakes, birds, horses, and giraffes, an aquarium with numerous different colourful fish and other water creatures, and a botanical garden.
Chill Out at Bueng Raha
This is another lovely and peaceful lakeside spot, and there are many great places to eat and drink along the edges of the lake.
Enjoy a National Park
You can enjoy some of Thailand's fantastic natural areas at one of Suphanburi's delightful national parks. Having your own transport is highly recommended.
Other things to do in Suphanburi include seeing the pretty flowers at an orchid nursery, getting out and about on a selection of different walking trails, visiting cascading waterfalls, and paying a visit to fish farms.

Image: Instrumented concrete rail bridge (Staffordshire Alliance project)
The joint Staffordshire Alliance venture, comprising Laing O'Rourke, Network Rail, Atkins and VolkerRail, included collaboration with CSIC from the start of the project to deploy fibre optic sensors in order to deliver the most comprehensively instrumented new rail bridges in the UK.
CSIC has implemented the monitoring systems in two of the 11 new bridges being constructed as part of this major improvement programme: a pre-stressed concrete girder bridge and a steel composite girder bridge, the latter forming the new flyover that removes a critical bottleneck at Norton Bridge by segregating intercity, commuter and freight traffic. With the advent of innovative and robust structural monitoring systems, smarter, more objective and reliable performance data can be collected from the beginning of a structure's life.
The Staffordshire Alliance team recently handed over the £250m upgrade to the West Coast Main Line, including 10 kilometres of new line, under budget and over a year ahead of schedule. Laing O'Rourke, Network Rail and Atkins are all CSIC Industry Partners. The Staffordshire Alliance project has been recognised as leading the way in innovation and showing that the alliance model has much to offer large infrastructure projects.
Liam Butler, Research Associate at CSIC, said: "This project represents the first time new rail bridges have been instrumented in such detail to understand their structural behaviour from the moment they are created. We hope that the findings of this work will provide valuable feedback for the design of future large scale infrastructure projects and could lead to more economic designs and more efficient asset management strategies."
Ian Johnson, Alliance Manager, Staffordshire Alliance, said: "The Alliance has had a real focus on innovation throughout, with a dedicated Innovation Manager appointed to the Alliance Management Team. This gave the project the drive to innovate and effectively manage ideas from the start through to implementation. Every idea and experience was captured, so there is a wealth of information for other projects to draw on to embed best practice in the future."
The project was the first in the UK to be established as a 'pure alliance', with all partners working together on equal terms in shared office locations, resulting in a close and highly efficient team ethos and close relationship. This successful operating model is now considered by many to be the blueprint for future infrastructure projects.
John Wilkinson, Business Unit Leader, Infrastructure, at Laing O'Rourke, said: "The operational benefits of all partners working together to share common goals have proved to be really successful on the Staffordshire Alliance. Combined with innovative construction techniques such as offsite manufacturing and digital design, we have delivered this project meeting sensitive environmental requirements well ahead of schedule, under budget, and vitally, with reduced disruption to the travelling public and our neighbours in the communities we work alongside."

Chapter 6 - An Agreement
The raindrops bouncing off the window pane slowly pulled me out of my slumber. I hadn't a clue as to what time it was. It was so dark out. How long have I been sleeping? Who cares? I was spent. I was laying face down, with my hands tucked under my pillow. I flexed my fingers and jumped at the touch of something hard and smooth in company with my hidden hands.
Just as I made to stand up, I realized what it was. Edward, too, was laying face down next to where I lay. He rolled onto his side and propped himself on his elbow. His hair was perfectly messy. His face seemed almost illuminated in contrast with the darkness of the room. I can get used to this, I thought, waking to find him there, lying next to me.
"Good morning. How do you feel?" he asked curiously.
The suddenness of his touch beneath my pillow and the hypnotism of his golden eyes temporarily stunned me, making me physically unaware of the sourness of back, my legs, my neck, even my groin. I gasped and immediately reached for my neck.
"You? ... am I? ... did you?..." I stuttered, my thoughts racing.
"Yes" he said as he watched me cautiously.
Instinctively, I stretched out my hands in front of me and examined them front to back and once again. They didn't seem any different at all, though I was already pale to begin with. And why could I feel precipitation on my brow? I grabbed a compact mirror from the nightstand as Edward made to speak but hesitated. I unlatched the compact and looked at my reflection.
I looked exactly as I always did; except that I looked tired, dark circles ringed my eyes. I didn't understand. He bit me, which I was sure of but I angled the mirror toward my neck for positive assertion. Two small crescents were clearly visible, dark red of dried blood. I traced them with my fingertips and was surprised by the coolness of it.
"Bella, I..." he began to say. Anger and disappointment rocked me.
"Did nothing, that's what!" I scowled. "I thought you..."
"Bella, please understand, please allow me to explain..." he said urgently.
"Your explanation isn't needed for I already know what you'll say... 'It was for your own good' I mocked.
"No." he said flatly. He looked at me for a long moment and then sighed. "I vowed to reluctantly go against what is best for you and take your life because it is what you wish, what you feel should be my fidelity, my token of truth."
"Then why am I still ticking, Edward!" I hissed as I pointed towards my heart. His eyes stared at my pointed target for a couple of seconds before he pursed his lips in a hard line and sat up, resting his elbows on his knees. He dropped his head into his hands and ran them through his hair before looking up at me.
"What was I to do?" he asked pointedly, tossing his hand in the air.
"Do you realize that the transformation would have taken a couple of days to be complete? That you would be withering in agony? What do you imagine Charlie would do? "
"Oh." I blinked. I hadn't taking that into consideration. Edward once told me how the transformation took place and how the person would be in inconceivable pain for perhaps three days or more, and when the change was finally complete, their irises would be bloodshot red and their hunger for blood would be a hazard for any human within close proximity.
"But why did you bite me then?" I asked, confused now.
He smiled his crooked smile for a quick fraction of second.
"Well, quite honestly, your scent was infusing me, its potency was intolerable. Please know that I fought with all my might against it but at that pivotal moment, where I knew you were indeed mine, even though not by marriage, but by flesh and blood, I gave in to my tormented selfishness and fed upon you. And with even greater, and I mean monumental force, I stopped. A little too late, as you passed out," he chuckled. "But I stopped."
"I still don't get it. You bit me. Why didn't your venom ...?" I asked.
"Because I didn't leave it in you. I sucked it out, as I did when James bit you." he said as he frowned.
I remembered. James, the Nomad tracker who targeted me as his prey, whether to indulge in sick appetite or simply torment Edward, or both even, had bitten me. I also remembered the burning and the incapacitating pain, one that I would soon endure again. I shuddered at the thought. He held out one arm gesturing me to his side.
"Come back to bed, love."
I hesitated before tossing the mirror back onto the nightstand and curling up inside his arms. He drew the comforter over my naked body and laid us both back down. His cool body felt wonderful against mine. My forehead was pressed against his cheek and his tantalizing breath washed over my face. I could stay here in his arms for all eternity.
He playfully twirled a lock of my hair as my fingers made circles and lines across his too perfect abdomen. Sometime during the night, he threw his jeans back on but only zippered it as the button remained unfastened.
"I love you." he murmured softly.
"As I love you" I mocked as I mimicked his return gesture that he often used in the past. I could feel his smile against my face.
"So," I said conversationally, "how was it... for you?" I asked now nervously. "Did you enjoy it?"
"Oh Bella" he chuckled softly. "Is this one of your trick questions?" I frowned at his response.
"Well? Was it?" I insisted now curious to know exactly what he felt. He slid away from under me and laid on his side facing me, his head propped on his hand while the other one trace my lips then my jaw, then my neck... Involuntarily, I closed my eyes. Cold lips kissed my forehead. When I opened my eyes again, I found him staring at me in silent wonder while he smoothed my hair.
"It was inconceivably and utterly amazing, and even that description gives it no justice." He kissed me ever so softly; his tongue only reaching my lips and when he pulled away, his face was serene and pacific.
"And for you?" he asked, now smiling.
"Um, it was... great." I said stupidly.
He flashed a marvelous smile and kissed me more eagerly this time, burying his fingers in my hair. My heart began its usual routine of drumming against my chest. He chuckled without leaving my lips and I hated that his senses were unparalleled. We made love once again, more passionately this time. His every touch, every kiss, every move was ecstasy. He eyes seemed to worship every angle of me, and often rolled up into their sockets when he thought he couldn't take my scent any longer or when he reached an orgasm.
I was his. Body and soul, flesh and blood as he said before. And I knew, unmistakably and whole-heartedly, that he would never leave my side again. I found comfort... no,... bliss in knowing that. This is who I wanted to live and die with, and then... live again with. I needed him like I needed air to breathe and I loved him, unequivocally.

We Follow the Traditional Approach
Yoga is a traditional discipline, a philosophy as well as a practice. Asanas are a component of the yoga system, not the whole of yoga. On the contrary, in the modern times, Yoga is widely and incorrectly associated with "only" physical postures or asanas. Also, some of these physical practices are mostly poor commercial derivatives of traditional asana practice. Known by fancy names, they mislead and confuse people about the practice itself.
By following the traditional approach, we endeavor to encourage our members to follow the basic principles of the asana system and gain maximum benefits minus the pitfalls of incorrect practices. It is our mission to help members build a strong foundation for longlasting and all-round physical and mental fitness and wellbeing.
Why traditional style
- The traditional approach is holistic. The results are longlasting and affects the entire mind and physical system.
- Correct breathing and relaxation techniques are a core part of the asana practice overlooked by most modern approaches. Without these techniques, the benefits of asana practice are minimal. In fact, incorrect breathing while practicing asanas may even be dangerous.
- Most modern forms of practices such as power yoga are fastpaced unlike the traditional practices. Therefore, the chances of injury are much higher. (Many students who had taken power yoga classes prior to joining us had come to us complaining of backache.)
- Aerobicsstyle asana practices like power yoga claim to deliver instant results such as quick weight loss. However, the results may be temporary and are not much different from what any other forms of physical exercise offer.
- Traditional asana practices offer innumerable benefits and takes into account the mind-body connection. The goal is health, happiness, and a higher spiritual quotient for a better life.
- Teachers of the traditional approach are highly experienced as they undergo years of practice under an experienced teacher or a guru before teaching others.
Know about Our Sessions
Our sessions are based on the traditional hatha yoga system and are designed to provide every member the right training and individual supervision in his or her quest for physical, mental, and spiritual health and wellbeing.
We cater to individuals from all ages and walks of life.

Tropical Storm Erika: Students tweet for day off, but will they get it?
The Palm Beach County School District continues to monitor Erika. Though it's still too soon to make the call, the district has more tools than ever to reach parents once that decision is made.
Parents can expect phone calls, text messages and emails. They can also check the district's storm page, its Facebook page and follow the district's plans on Twitter @pbcsd.
It appears likely that any school activity scheduled for Friday night will go on as scheduled. But check back here for details as they become available.
Meanwhile, it appears students and maybe parents are using some of those same tools to clamor for Monday off:

There is really nothing like face-to-face competition when it comes to playing wargames. Unfortunately, most players will find — particularly, once they leave college and get on with their lives — that local opponents who share the same gaming interests can often be hard to find, and once found, hard to stay in touch with over the long haul. Circumstances change: gaming clubs break up, opponents move or even, heaven forbid, drop out of the hobby completely. Thus, one of the great benefits to traditional board wargaming conferred by the internet age — speaking as a long-time competitive player — has been the now almost universal ability of modern players to substitute 'Play by Electronic Mail' (PBeM) for its tiresome precursor, traditional 'Play by Mail' (PBM). This has meant that most games between geographically separated opponents can now — if both players are conscientious in their move-making — be completed in a matter of months or even weeks, instead of the year or more that postal play used to require.
Finally, there are still a few modern 'Luddites' like me who just don't much care for the 'point and drag' method of moving counters on a screen; gamers who, instead, would actually rather have the real map and counters in front of them when they play. For this type of player, using a 'spreadsheet' format for internet gaming is a convenient alternative. And it is also, not surprisingly, the online gaming format that I personally prefer.
The Excel 'spreadsheet' file offered with this post is for the 3rd Edition version (1980) of the Avalon Hill classic game, AFRIKA KORPS (1964). This file has been set up to permit competing players to exchange new game moves via email attachments and, at the same time, to keep an accurate and detailed, ongoing record of all of the various game operations that can potentially occur in the course of a complete thirty-eight turn match.

Maybe that's why it's called "The Death and Resurrection Show"? Because it's all just a show for humanity? To trick them into believeing this?
"Who will you turn to?" Which religion will you pick? From Eygptians to the Christians, they all say the same stuff in his eyes. Resurection and an afterlife etc
Maybe that's why Ezekiel's chariot's is pluralised, from what I've looked up, Ezekiel's chariot is the name given to thhe throne of God whcih Ezekiel saw in two visions, but pluralising it makes it less about one God and more about the many that we believe in, or choose to create.
The same with the tribal religion at the beginning, the old beliefs that we would come back as a new person or animal.
But he believes we don't. "Everything I've learned, the fire shall burn" at the end, when you die, that's it. There is simply no more you.
Although I can't quite figure out what he means by "the lights go out" whether it's about dying or the end of the world proper, as in the Apocalypse.
Well, they're my thoughts. Correct me if I'm wrong hehe

I haven't had many opportunities for photo trips lately, but I did get my garage Sheetrocked and lots of other big projects are coming along nicely. I did try to get out this weekend for some drone flight, but strong winds seemed to kick up as soon as I got into position. I marked a few locations for future flight opportunities and headed home, stopping to catch this sunset shot along the road as I was heading back toward civilization.

We worked up a real appetite after a couple hours of soccer (and after 2 hours of football for my bf), so the bunch of us headed off to Petite Abeille. It's a chain but feels like a family joint with its white and blue awning and friendly bee logo. The interior is decorated with chalk drawings and framed pages from Tintin. A shelf in the corner has actual books in French.
I got my usual Eggs Florentine, which is with spinach instead of ham. The mashed potatoes looking thing is supposedly stoemp, which had leeks today. Sometimes it also has carrots. it's like the slightly better dressed older sister of mashed potatoes.
The food here is normally great, but I was extremely disappointed in whoever poached the eggs at the Tribeca location this morning, because all of the eggs were overcooked! My friend got one that ran ever so slightly, but I expected more from them. They deprived me of soaking up my runny yolk with bread.
Everything else tasted great, and I was starving, so no harm done. The hollandaise sauce, was as usual, perfect. It was just thick enough to cover the eggs, and if I didn't know how it was made, I would think that I'm eating something very light.
My boyfriend got the Petite Abeille burger. He was kind enough to describe to me why it's one of his favorite burgers. And he's had more different kinds of burgers than most people.
The bread was perfectly toasted so that it had the "burnt" flavor, but was not so hard that it cut the tongue. The burger itself did not make the bread soggy, but when you bite into it, the inside is so juicy that the almost-burning hot juice permeates your bite. The cheese and bacon were just icing on the cake so to speak.
I know why the fries are good. They are very well seasoned, crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
My friend asked me for a waffle recommendation, so I told him the banana split waffle. I don't normally like bananas, but it works perfectly with ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate fudge. I've tried some of the other waffles in the past, but they were not even close.
I don't know if some people were on a diet, but they ultimately decided to ignore my advice. I'm sure that the berry waffle was very good compared to not having any waffle at all.
Byebye Tintin! Hope to see you soon. (with better poached eggs please… but I might just get the banana split waffle because I didn't have it this time.)

Turkey's Erdogan hits a nerve over country's national drink
If you are looking for one sure way to split public opinion in Turkey, just bring up the word alcohol.
That is what Turkey's often divisive prime minister did late on Friday when he pronounced that the national drink was not beer, nor the aniseed spirit raki – choice tipple of Turkey's founding father – but the non-alcoholic yoghurt drink ayran.
Given the setting of his speech – a symposium on global alcohol policy in Istanbul – Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's comments appeared far from controversial, but so sensitive is the topic that the mere mention of it by the pious leader, known for his dislike of alcohol, has Turkey's secularists up in arms.
During the single-party rule of the Turkish Republic's early years by what is now the country's main – and staunchly secularist – opposition party, state promotion of alcohol amounted to propaganda, Erdogan said.
"Beer was unfortunately presented as a national drink. However, our national drink is ayran," he said, referring to the staple lunchtime refreshment of yoghurt, water and salt, usually swilled down with a meaty kebab.
"There is no way you can defend as a lifestyle the consumption of alcohol which has no benefit to society, but on the contrary inflicts harm," Erdogan continued.

* Detailed – extract every audio & subtitle stream, DSM-CC carousel, PCR value, SI information & ECM/EMM to your hard-disk automatically using simultaneous internal decoders
* Reports – detailed set of XML reports generated e.g. SI tables with 100+ descriptors decoded, ETR 101 290 etc.
The tool also provides TS analyser views for extensions to the baseline DVB standards as used by European set-top-boxes (Target regions, NCD, TV-Anytime, 'Promo' Links, Image icons).
|Linux Packages
|Ubuntu (Debian) 64-bit
More packages for different distributions and architectures will be added. Please check back later.
Debian (.deb) packages are used by Ubuntu.
To download the package right click on the link according to your LInux distribution and download it. Only 64-bit Debian packages are provided currently.
The package should install from your file manager by clicking on it. Alternatively you may install packages from the command-line terminal by typing the following:
|sudo dpkg -i demuxtoy_1.0.98-2_amd64.deb
Once installed, a TS file may be fully demultiplexed simply by typing something like this:
|$ demuxtoy /streams/a.ts --out=~/myfolder
This will demultiplex a TS called "a.ts" and generate any XML reports to a sub-folder in your home directory called ~/myfolder/a.ts
You can demultiplex further TS files into the same folder.
See the usage information for further options:
|$ demuxtoy --help
XML reports are best viewed in an Internet browser for optimum formatting.

I headed round the outside of the marsh and made my way to the mound thinking I might be able to see where he was. I couldn't, but as I looked I noticed a small flock of Mallards which circled above and tried to drop down to the river, then came another blast and I saw six fly off in panic and the seventh drop like a stone, I just hope it was dead before it hit the ground or the river.
I'd had enough now, I get no pleasure from seing birds blasted out of the sky, so I made my way over the railway to the country park and paid a visit to my old friend the Bittern. There's yet another long distance picture below.
The sun was still shining for a change so I looked in on the railway lake and 'shot' some ducks of my own. Gadwall first, Tufted Duck second and a Coot in attack mode third.
A couple of hours had now passed since the sad demise of the Mallard so I made my way back to the small wood to see if the usual inhabitants had returned. They had. In the half an hour or so that I spent there I saw a Grey Wagtail, three Redshanks, a flyover Snipe, a lonesome Teal, a Little Grebe, a Little Egret, two Mistle Thrushes, a Sparrowhawk and the Kingfisher below, perched on a pole on the other side of the river...... normality had returned. Long may it last.

Spinning Babies® Commitment to Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression
We at Spinning Babies® are committed to ensuring all pregnant individuals have the opportunity to have a normal physiology birth and their right to birth with respectful care and treatment for themselves and their babies.
Spinning Babies acknowledges that access to normal physiological birth can be blocked by oppression of non-dominant groups and by institutional and individual racism.
Spinning Babies will work to champion access to normal physiological birth to all parents and providers to reduce disparities in outcomes among non-dominant communities. Respectful care before, during, and after childbirth is a human right and includes support and physiological solutions for complications and challenges, such as those addressed by Spinning Babies approach.
Spinning Babies as an organization commits to continuously engage in the examination of our own methods by inviting feedback from Communities we serve.
Today, maternal and infant mortality rates, especially within the United States, continue to rise. African American women and babies are dying at over double the rate of white women and babies. Native American women are enduring similar dire consequences from high mortality rates as well. This travesty and severe inequity is a result of both direct and indirect acts of racism.
Stresses of racism result in preterm birth, low birth weight, and the deaths of mothers and babies across the economic strata. Spinning Babies recognizes that racism includes inadvertent as well as blatant acts by individuals, groups, and institutions in both mainstream and alternative birth cultures.
In our commitment to improving birth outcomes and addressing the health crisis of disparate maternal and infant outcomes, we engage in ongoing examination of our practices. We realize that this is a process without an end through which we are committed to working against discrimination or oppression of people due to their race, religion, nationality, or sexual orientation.
How can Spinning Babies take action to be part of the solution?
- Engaging in on-going examinations of Spinning Babies® internal and external practices.
- Requiring continuing cultural awareness education for Spinning Babies® Approved Trainers.
- Providing, at minimum, (1) scholarship in our Spinning Babies® Workshops and future subscription programs to a Birth Worker of Color.
- Creating access to information and training for Communities of Color, particularly in nations such as the USA where racial disparity increases the mortality and morbidity of birthing parents and newborns.
- Reviewing our curriculum including its sources and resources for inclusiveness.
We wish to publicly express gratitude to Ms. Claudia Booker for her gracious direction in the content of our statement, and her wise and ongoing advice for Spinning Babies improvements in serving all Peoples.
Spinning Babies® Approved Trainer, Nicole Morales, led the creation of this document and continues to be a leader in awareness of the diversity of cultural knowledge that enhances birth and Spinning Babies application in the world of birth.

text: Dog Age Calculator is an online calendar tool programmed to calculate What is the equivalent human years or age of your dog now?; according to the number of usual years spent after your dog birth. It is important to calculate the Dog Age to keep the dog healthy according to the dog's lifespan. The dog and human age is different that is the dog age is faster than human do. This Dog to Human Years Age Calculator employs the specific average function to convert it in to Human Age. For example 1 year of dog age equals to 15 years of human age; 2 years equals to 24 years; thereafter each calendar year of a dog equals 4 human years. The dog's age calculation is bit confusing. So when it comes to online calculation, this dog age calculator let you know exactly how old your dog age is now in terms of equivalent human years

Win, Lose or Draw was an impressively popular television series back in the day and ever since then it has spawned a whole series of different knock-off games for the board, computer, console and smart phone systems. Sketch Online is a game app for Android that is similar although there are some important differences to help make the game easy for everyone to play.
One player guesses the word
The object of the Sketch Online game is to get one player to look at the target word and then draw out that word using this Android app. When it is your turn to do the drawing, there really aren't any rules to what you can draw. You of course can't put different words down, but at the end of the day you can draw anything that you want in order to help the people that are guessing guess the actual word.
Everyone else guesses
The people that are guessing will likely have to wait a little bit while the other player draws the first part of the word. However, once things are in full swing it is possible for the players to enter in their guesses and try to see if they can correctly guess the name of the thing that the player is drawing. It is a challenging game though, so don't think that it is easy to guess what people are drawing.
Easy living
Easy living is what Sketch Online Android app is all about. If you can get Sketch Online app onto your device, you'll be able to take advantage of an easy layout that gets improved with each successive update. Rumors about bugs and crashes, while certainly true in previous versions, have been largely corrected as newer versions of this Android app have been released. Android Sketch Online game app as it currently exists is definitely an easy living title that can provide lots of entertainment for little time or money investment.
Final Score
Android users are definitely interested in making things easier for themselves and that is why they've gone with the Google product over the others. Therefore, any mobile application that can provide an even easier way of doing things will get recognition for it. Sketch Online app for Android is really not that much of a feat of software design however, so it cannot get full marks in comparison to other better and more complicated apps. The final score of Sketch Online Android app is 8 out of 10.

Abraham's journey as written in the Torah begins with G-d telling him to go out from where he has been living. "G-d said Abram, "Go for yourself from your land, from your relatives and from your father's house to the land I will show you."" Up until this point nearly everyone worshiped idols. Abraham was one of the few who believed in only one Higher Power. G-d is testing Abraham by telling him to leave the people he has lived among for so many years. G-d is telling Abraham to leave the place of idol worship and become isolated so that he will not become influenced by the idol worshipers.
Maimonides begins Mishneh Torah, Book of Knowledge, Laws Concerning Idolatry by writing about Enosh. Enosh was the son of Seth who was the son of Adam and Eve. Idolatry was introduced in the times of Enosh. Enosh's generation believed that because G-d created stars and other things in the sky and that He placed them so high, that they should be worshiped. Enosh's generation "began to erect temples to the stars, offered up sacrifices to them, praised and glorified them in speech and prostrated themselves before them." This generation not only was the first to introduce idolatry, it was also one of the last, until Abraham's generation, to even recognize that there was a G-d behind all these things. Between Enosh and Abraham's generations there were only a select few people who knew of G-d.
Maimonides goes on to write about a new generation. In the coming generations there were many false prophets that would tell people to worship a star or some other sort of idol. They would make no mention of G-d, but just have the people strictly worship the idol. Maimonides writes, "As time gradually passed, the honored and revered Name of G-d was forgotten by mankind, vanished from their lips and hearts and was no longer known to them. All the common people and the women and children knew only the figure of wood and stone."
When Abraham came along G-d was brought back into the picture. Abraham was brought up by idol worshipers, but through his own thought process came to the realization that there is only one G-d behind everything. Abraham began telling other people about G-d. He would preach to everyone. He even nearly got killed over his preaching. Abraham moved around a lot to get the word out about G-d. Abraham made sure to teach his son about G-d. His son taught his son, and so on.
Genesis 12 begins with Abraham's first of ten tests. This first test is G-d telling Abraham, who is called Abram until Genesis 17, to leave the place where they lived. One would think that this really wasn't much of a test at all because why would someone want to live around people who completely disagree with them? But this wasn't just a matter of leaving a certain area. Abraham and Sarah had to sever ties with everyone from their past as well. In the Torah this seems like a pretty big test. It's not easy to start over in another city or country you are unfamiliar with, but having to sever ties with everyone from your past. That cannot be easy. But the way that Maimonides writes about Abraham's going from city to city makes it not seem like a test at all.
Maimonides explains Abraham's whole thought process on the existence of G-d. Abraham thought, "How is it possible that this [celestial] sphere should continuously be guiding the world and have no one to guide it and turn it around; for it cannot be that it turns round itself." Maimonides goes on to say that Abraham began to preach about the Oneness of G-d. He broke idols and told whomever he could to worship G-d and not false idols. "He went from city to city and from kingdom to kingdom, calling and gathering together the inhabitants." Maimonides does not make it sound as if Abraham did not enjoy spreading the word of G-d's existence and Oneness. It seems almost as if this was no test at all for Abraham, but a privilege that he was the one who got to spread the word.
In Genesis it skips from the birth of Abraham until his first test, known in Hebrew as "lech lecha". What Maimonides does is fill us in to what happened in between. He explains how a boy who was born into the house of idol worshipers went on to become one of the fathers on monotheism. Maimonides tells us of Abraham's thought process and how he came to the conclusion that there really is only one G-d. Abraham is no longer seen as a guy being told what to do and what to believe by G-d. Abraham really thought everything through. His test to go out and tell the general public about G-d seems less like a test to Abraham. Once Maimonides made Abraham into a thinking human being and not just a pawn to spread the word of G-d, it added a whole new element into the story of Abraham.
All quotes are from Mishneh Torah, Book of Knowledge, Law Concerning Idolatry and the Ordinances of the Heathens, Chapter 1.

Susanna Swart – "Object of Desire"
by Cindy Paul
Well-represented in private and public collections across the planet, Susanna Swart is a technically gifted, interesting artist. "The mystical African landscape, its people and spirituality, heavily influence my work," she writes in her online profile.
"Object of Desire" is a striking bronze sculpture depicting a single female foot. The tips of the toes rest delicately on its presentation platform, and the rest of the foot is raised above them, as if the owner is running, dancing, or simply stretching upward.
What makes this piece so interesting is the relief design which covers its entire surface. Swart says that the relief work is inspired by the ornate decoration used in traditional Mendhi art. This refers to the beautiful henna decorations generally used by Hindu artists to cover the hands and the fingers in Hindu folkart.
"Object of Desire" is an inspiring sculpture that carries a generous, low price tag. The artist calls the work a "foot portrait" and offers similar portraits. She obviously has found a unique niche, one that taps the interest of foot-lovers everywhere.

I didn't fully appreciate how long the countersinking on the spars would take! There are SOOOO many holes. 116 nut plate holes for mounting the fuel tanks, nut plate holes for mounting access plates, and 300 skin attach points — for EACH WING.
I first countersank the nut plate holes as called out in the plans. You are trying to remove just enough material to get a AN426-3 rivet to sit flush. I checked each countersink as I went along. It felt like it was going fast, but then I turned around and saw how many holes were left to go!
Luckily my son came out to help.
He did a great job on the skin counter sinks for the very visible left upper side.
I made a test dimple in a scrap piece of .032 aluminum to make sure that the skins would eventually sit flush. You can see it in the close up below.
After finishing the top left, my son took off (can't spend too much time with the old man in a cold garage after all!). So I was on my own to finish the countersinking for the left bottom. That was it for the day. No build time on Sunday because I actually went flying instead!
With the left spar fully drilled, I hoped to move on to riveting the nut plates so I could finish Section 13. I decided that it would be better to finish drilling and countersinking the right spar to keep the wing builds roughly in sync.
I was building on Friday (normally my "honey-do" day since I'm only working 4 days a week as a consultant) because I'm headed off to Houston to visit my brother. I woke up early with dreams of hitting the shop at 8 and working all day.
Didn't happen!
My wife woke up and I ended up doing a couple of small honey-do items anyway 🙂
Then I had to mail off a package and fill the minivan with gas before the trip. The first station was closed, so I went directly to the post office instead. A huge line for mid-morning Friday! Then off to an alternate station to fill up (but no left turns allowed to exit). I finally dragged myself in to the shop only to discover that I left my heat gun at home.
My shop gets really cold. And it is "power" challenged (one shaky 15 amp circuit shared with the rental house). And if the power blows, it takes an hour to get it back on again (breaker panel in locked basement only accessible by landlord). So, I have to baby my compressor to get it started by preheating the block. So, another 50 minutes was spent heading home to find it and bring it back.
Then my son called to see if I wanted to grab lunch with him between classes. So we had a quick lunch, but at least I gained another set of hands. I finally hit the shop around noon.
The j-channel was already set up on the right spar. It went much faster with a second pair of hands to put the clecos in. With that done, my son headed back to class and left me alone with my countersinking. At least that's all done now. 3 build sessions to take two expensive spars and to transform them into something that looks almost identical to what I started with. Sigh. At least next time, I can actually do some riveting (before finishing the final countersinks into the nut plate holes).

Easter Cloche
I have a little altered project to share today that I believe is called a Cloche. If I am incorrect, please let me know! I had bought these little ones from Emma's Paperie. They are by Melissa Frances and are as cute as can be! I had a paper mache' egg that I painted in a soft pink and rolled in German Glass Glitter. I nestled it in a bit of grass and some moss. The top was tied with a bit of silk ribbon and crocheted flower was attached.

Authors: Igor Hrncic
Unfortunately, Cantor was wrong. His notion of transfinite bijection is flawed. Cantor introduced this notion of transfinite bijection as the additional axiom, even though without even realising this. From this error, other errors sprung into the existence. He did all this in the heroic effort to justify the death of infinitesimals, even though he wasn't aware of this either. Cantor went bravely on to defend the established error in higher mathematics before his mentors and peers who banished infinitesimals. Instead, he demonstrated the error of it. He never realised this as well. This paper elucidates this link between Cantor's errors and infinitesimals.

I forget every year that my mother shares a January 26th birthday with pretty pretty Paul Newman - if I ever remembered I could plan something! Paul deserves a whole series devoted to him or something - I could easily watch a ton of his movies just to stare, and stare, and stare for days, weeks, months.
Anyway Paul would've turned 92 today if he hadn't passed back in 2008, and I bet you he still would've been a fine ass hunk of 92 years old, because he never lost it. These shots are promotional shots which I have never seen before, for the Tennessee Williams movie Sweet Bird of Youth in 1962. Miss ya, Paul!

One of the perks about living close to Geneva at the heart of Europe is that a flight to, oh, say, Palma de Majorca is only a hop (skip and jump unnecessary) away. Last week Fred took five solid days of vacation and we took the hour and half flight to Palma. The first family vacation without skis in tow since Nash's arrival almost a solid two years ago! It was due time, and who better to convince me to embark on such a journey than my most recent Geneva departee (and beloved girlfriend), Laura, who I have been missing since February. She also has a little boy who has about 13 months on Nash, and our hubs get along well, so we figured why not?
You would think living at the heart of Europe that we do these kinds of things all the time, and every time we do something like this I think longingly, ohhhh why not more often, but to be honest this is one the first of its kind in YEARS. We've done the odd weekend here and there, but not a real deal week-long out and about just being wanderlustly obnoxiously oblivious yet oh so obviously TOURISTS. And it was fabulous, even if we were obnoxious, which I assure you we were. Oversized bags hanging off the sides of loaded down strollers, city map in hand looking up, down and around at sights, pushing our way into crowded restaurants and then plopping our nap deprived child into the high chair (Ipod in hand to watch downloaded Yo Gabba Gabba, mind you), him all the while protesting 'WALK.'
But the flip side of all of that was that once we were at our little casa in the middle of the Soller orange groves, feet kicked up on the coffee table sipping lattes and catching up with two of our favorite people as our babies finally slept upstairs… vacation at last. At least until morning when the boys were up and as rambunctious as the day prior. The two wee ones definitely had a love-hate volley going on throughout the course of the week, something that was good for me to see. It's funny that primal sort of 'Here you, go, my friend,' and then, 'NO!! MINE!!' dialectic that kids are constantly oscillating between. Here in Geneva, most of my close girlfriends have girls. And we adore those girls. And I think Nash is having to learn about personal space and respect and discipline and kindness and sensitivity to a great extent from these girls. I must admit that it was very enlightening to see just how different being around other boys can be for Nash. It was rough and tumble like the kid had never experienced before, and for most part, he absolutely loved it. It was the week of tackles. Nash has officially learned how to be taken down and take it on the chin (again, for the most part, we had our fair share of meltdowns!)
So yes, our trip to Mallorca was amazing. We took a little vintage train from Soller to Soller Port, then Soller to Palma, spent a morning swimming in Cala Deia, this remote little cove where we were seriously the very first ones on the playa. We climbed through the cliff side village of Deia one morning, and strolled the old cobbled alleys of Soller many times over. Wandering the streets of the port side city of Palma, watching Nash soak it all in all the while. The food was amazing as to be expected, and most of my day was spent pondering the next course. Fresh olives to open the palate at every meal, squid every way you like (even in its own ink, which surprisingly was one of the boys favorites!), a little sobrassada (black sausage of Mallorca… their identity symbol from what I understand), fresh (unpasterized, of course, so off-limits for my 8 month pregnant friend, Laura) cheeses in many colors, varieties and degrees of pungency. And the wine. Oh the wine. I mostly stuck with local whites, though I did bring home one of the reds certified 'Designation of Origin,' which I will be trying once the weekend is a little closer upon us (I am attempting to detox a bit this week after last weeks indulgences.) They were delicious. It was all delicious. But most delicious of all was sitting on the sofa with a glass of my Majorcan white and being asked by my sweet girlfriend if I would be the godmother of her son.
This week was indeed one to go in the books, folks. Good, good times.

Redemption Church worships together in two aspects. On Sundays we gather in a space for corporate worship as a big group. Through the week we scatter for mission in smaller groups. We find our identity, unity, and mission in the cross of Christ. This is central whether we're gathered or scattered.
On Sunday mornings we are reminded of our place in the story of God through the preaching of the death and resurrection of Jesus and participating in Communion. This is a great way to catch the vision and see the big picture of who we are as Redemption Church.
However, the advancement of the gospel in the Tri State happens as we scatter in homes, neighborhoods, schools, and vocation through the week. The mission of the church is applied and proclaimed in our gospel communities.
Corporate worship gatherings take place on Sunday at 9:30am & 11:00am | For more info on gospel community groups, click here.

Abandon Ship Apparel
There are few things more exciting than true home-grown talent – and we're not talking about dogs dancing for Simon Cowell. We're referring to our new favourite brand: born from a series of drunken discussions in a Glaswegian bar and later founded in an East End flat, with their first ever photo shoot taking place behind the local Co-op using car lamps for lighting.
Things are a bit different now though. Abandon Ship – if you haven't heard already – is a streetwear apparel brand established in 2011 by two Glasgow boys who wanted to address the shortage of clean, simple t-shirt designs available in the men's fashion market.
Gambling a sizeable personal investment (including a portion of a wedding fund, which was, thankfully, later replaced), three original t-shirt designs were produced – you may already recognise the inverted cross tee as it has been plastered across Facebook and Instagram, accumulating an almost cult-like following among those 'in the know'.
Alongside these three original designs, all of which are still available in various forms today, is a far wider range of simple yet edgy t-shirt designs that are perfect for easy, everyday dressing.
In accordance with the brand's growing popularity, Abandon Ship has gradually and continuously expanded, now offering an array of casual wear that includes everything from jackets and hoodies to shirts and vests, as well as a range of equally cool hats and accessories. The clothing has progressed from focusing solely on the printed design, to scrutinising the fit and the feel of each individual garment.
Currently available to buy from ASOS and Foot Asylum in the UK, the brand is set to storm America and Australia later this year.
