You just can't go wrong without thinking that somebody would surprise me on my birthday. I didn't really expect of it because I wasn't even yet give back to what she gave me last valentines day and now she sent me birthday gifts again. How was that? Won't you be surprised especially if her gifts are all gorgeous? Yep, I bet you it's pretty all awesome in person... I so love it that much that I can't help but so grateful of this blogger friend of mine, so grateful of her presence. Though we haven't yet meet in person but seems we were friends since back then... Ooh well.. it was just one year ago and in just one instance we're already clicked with each other. Do you know the feeling of friendship being "click" with each other? If you know, you can then tell how it is. Yep, it is not that easy to find a friend that you can be with each other, online that is, but you have that such friendship bond that more than an in person ones. Ooh well, she(Demcy)'s full of generosity, thoughtfulness and kindness. I appreciate it that much! Here's what she gave me.
Above is another pretty cute lavender racer back shirt, look at the print (Friends fun and peace sign, this coincides with my jersey lavender jersey shorts --- great for hot summer)! Isn't it that pretty? Yes, it is! ;-) It's prettier in person, really it is.
Two pretty "TooFaced" glamorous lip glosses, lavender cute hooked earrings (which I wear until now, my ears are that choosy but this earrings suits its choosiness that's why it's my fave casual hook stone earrings plus it's gorgeous lavender color --- she got my weakness when it comes to pretty lavender ;-) Thanks a lot madam sis Dhemz!
And her beautiful lovely birthday card and a wonderful sweet message

I know you are great but I have to say you are awesomely best. I really appreciate your kindness and such ({I hope to keep up on your birthday... ;-).

Last week I mentioned to you about a company that was looking to be acquired and my inbox was PACKED with other companies looking to grow through acquisition.
However TWO awesome companies, with people I know and trust, are looking to expand and I think I can help them (and YOU)…
I've vetted these TWO companies and they're looking for quality products, services, email lists, and experts.
Note: none of these companies are Agora and NON require you to move lol
So if you're interested in selling (or want to get a fair idea on price) EMAIL ME NOW!!
Here are some quick pitches from the companies that I promised I would intro and vet directly:
Company 1:
"Company One is the ideal partner for any investment publisher/analyst with high-quality investment ideas in search of high-octane marketing and efficient and effective back office support. Dating back to 1974, Company One has built relationships with millions of paid customers through its own products as well as through effective partnerships with many traders. Over the past three years, Company One has reinvented its marketing team with superior copywriting and distribution that has more than doubled its sales. Put the Company One marketing engine, strategic planning and support team to work for you. Focus on the work you love and let Company One do the rest."
Company 2:
Are you tired of the daily grind of your business? Does your business own you instead of you owning it? Or are you an exhausted content provider who loves teaching, but are bogged down on the business side?
Great news is here!
One of the fastest growing online financial education companies is in acquisition mode. We are looking for only 1 or 2 strategic purchases to help grow our business. If you're sick and tired of your business running you, then this could be the exit plan you dreamed of. Here's what we are looking for:
* $50K to $1MM in TTM revenue
* An active list between 500 to 50,000
* A list actively engaged in stocks, options or Futures.
We have acquired businesses in this niche as recently as March of this year. C was running a small membership site. He was exhausted from running the business end. Plus he was not able to provide his clients with the level of help and support he wanted to. Since we have acquired his business he is able to focus on what he loves:
"I'm so happy to be part of a team – I love the trading but everything else with running a business and member site, not so much." C
So if you even THINK you'd be interested in selling, NOW might be the best time to get the best price and work with the BEST fit to help you grow!
Email me: email@example.com

Chippewa Valley Artist Invited to Prestigious Italian Art Festival
The Eau Claire art community is banding together to raise $15,000 to support local artist Eric Lee, who recently received an invitation to display his work at a prestigious international gallery exhibit that runs in partnership with the Venice Biennale in Italy later this year. Hosted by the European Cultural Center, an organization that promotes the arts through exhibitions and education, the "Personal Structures," art exhibition complements the world-renowned Biennale by inviting artists from many cultures, styles, ages, and stages in their career to show their creations. During the last show in 2017, about 200 artists from 40 countries were chosen to participate. This year, Lee would likely be the only Midwest artist on a roster that is often flooded with New York City names.
Lee is the first to admit that his paintings, prior to 2016, sucked the life out of a room. They were dark and colorless explorations of his past, attempts to make sense of the struggles of his 20s.
"There's a lot of anxiety, a lot of depression, a lot of problems," he said of his work. "It comes to the point where you've got to ask, am I expressing this, or am I just feeding it?"
In 2015, feelings of anxiety and depression were weighing on Lee. "I was really struggling at this point and could not see anything positive anywhere, though my beautiful family was right in front of me," he said. He knew he had to take a more positive approach to art, and to life. With this in mind, Lee began work on the last painting he would make for two years.
It's a triptych – three canvases intended to be displayed as one cohesive work – featuring a collage of tattered canvass, broken matches and match heads, and various other scraps arranged on top of swirls of oil paint, ink and tiny images of graffiti-touched buildings. With splashes of rust, aqua, and pea-green, it's a rainbow compared to his older works.
Upon completion of the paintings in 2016, the younger of Lee's two sons, Vinnie, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Lee stopped painting altogether while his family endured the child's illness. Six-year-old Vinnie died the day after Easter last year. Lee's long-brewing paradigm shift snapped into place.
"Needless to say, it changes absolutely everything," Lee said. "Everything stopped." Vinnie's death put things into a perspective Lee could never have imagined. "It may seem weird, but I am a way more positive person than I was before."
Painting wasn't as important to Lee from there on out. He used to labor over each piece, perceiving them as direct indicators of his success and status, never finding satisfaction in the finished product. When he began painting again late last year, he took a more playful approach, and a more hopeful one.
Just after he put brush to surface again, the European Cultural Center reached out. One of the event organizers had seen his triptych from two years ago on Instagram, and wanted him to show his work in Venice.
"I thought this was a hoax," Lee said. "It was an email from someone named 'Svetlana' in Russia." Out of caution, he researched the organizations mentioned in the email, and asked the woman who reached out – Svetlana Eroshina, one of the exhibition organizers – questions about the piece and how she found it to verify that the opportunity was authentic. And it was.
But it comes with a price tag. Participating artists are responsible for transporting their work to the event, which takes place May-November this year. Between the cost of shipping and navigating Venice's strict laws regarding art, getting just the painting – not Lee himself – to Venice will cost $12,000.
"There was really no question of what to do, because we believe in supporting each other as artists," fellow artist Jo Ellen Burke, owner of 200 Main Gallery & Wine Bar, said. She set up an online fundraiser Wednesday to help pay Lee's shipping – and potentially travel – expenses.
"Italy is a mecca for art in the entire world," Burke said. "We'd really like to see someone like Eric who is really humble, and so focused on his work and family, to give him a chance to attend something like this as well." She would like to see the community lend enough support to allow Lee's entire family to go.
"It's like Justin Vernon making it," Terry Meyer, another Eau Claire artist, said. "We're actually going to have a visual artist who is world renowned."
"If they had picked one of (my older paintings), I would probably have not gone through with it," Lee said. "I don't want to put that kind of thing out into the world anymore."
A few of Lee's older, gray paintings are currently hung in the Graham Avenue Walking Gallery at the Pablo Center at the Confluence. The pieces, "Verehrung" and "Springtime on Winter Street," are sobering bookends to a display of works by elementary students: explorations of symphonic music in technicolor.
When Lee received his old pieces back from an art show in New York in late 2018, he wasn't sure what to do with them. A friend advised him to sell the works, and direct the proceeds to a local charity. Lee chose the Beacon House in Eau Claire, which helps people with housing insecurity transition into permanent living arrangements. Doing something good with his older art is Lee's way to say goodbye to his old worldview.
Though Lee has painted for more than 10 years, it has always been a private practice. If he is able to send his work to Venice, he hopes the increased exposure will allow him to do more to help others.
"I am completely blown away by the generosity, by the interest people are taking," Lee said. He was featured on Wisconsin Public Radio's Spectrum West Thursday morning, and several people and organizations, including UW-Eau Claire and the European Cultural Center itself, have reached out to him with financial support.
"I still don't understand for the life of me why they'd find me in the first place or choose me, because there are many thousands of artists out there who would love to be a part of this," Lee said. "I'd be happy to frame the invitation."
The online fundraiser for Lee can be reached here: www.gofundme.com/support-for-eric-lee
More information about the Venice Biennale is available online at www.labiennale.org. The exhibition Lee has been invited to show in, "Personal Structures," has an online presence at ecc-italy.eu. Lee will need to raise the funds to ship his work by mid-March.

This incident took place in Spain; a bank holdup gone wrong turned into a 'hostage barricade' scenario. The Spanish police apparently resolved the situation by allowing the bank robber to 'escape' unimpeded. He was allowed to walk out of the bank in the company of 2 hostages, then police provided him with free access to a motorcycle. Leaving the hostages behind, the criminal perpetrator was permitted to ride away down a clear roadway to make his 'escape.'
This whole incident, shown on CBS television in English, can be seen on this 55-second video clip. The conclusion of this video shows the result of the Spanish planning.
This wouldn't happen in America. Our guidelines are too soft; we treat criminals and terrorists like law-abiding citizenry, we read them their "rights" and then provide them with lawyers.

I have found very interesting information in this well done column made by you. The true fact of the matter is that I ignored this affair. However, I am glad to know is, after all, I wonder how many concerning and interesting stuff we still ignore. I respectfully wanted to let you know that I had a great time reading this masterpiece.

Boldenone undecylenate (Equipoise) – a hormonal agent used in the sports industry, characterized by a weak effect.
Effects of use
The results of the cycle Boldenone undecylenate are:
- quite pronounced increase in muscle mass;
- increase in athletic parameters (strength, endurance, body weight);
- improved appetite;
- increased synthesis of red blood cells, causing an increase in hemoglobin and oxygen in the tissues of the body.
- strengthens the ligaments and joints, very similar to the effects of Deca in that matter by eliminating joint pain while cutting.
The last factor allows the athlete to conduct more intense workouts, recover faster after high physical exertion.
Dosage of Equipoise For Sale in USA
Since the effect of the drug is very weak, it should be applied in sufficiently high dosages – from 500 to 1000 milligrams per week. At the same time, due to the long half-life (from 8 to 10 days), the result of its use is maintained for a very long time. That is why it is recommended to introduce a daily dose of one-time and make long intervals between use.
Side effects
The long half-life is due to the strong molecular bonds of the active substance, which is reflected in the weakness of its action on the body. However, it has its advantages – a low risk of adverse reactions and the absence of such characteristic of other steroids such as:
- blood pressure surges;
- puffiness;
- hypertrophy of the mammary glands.
The athlete does not need PCT aimed at suppressing the synthesis of estrogen and activating the production of estrogen. But such a side effect, as the individual intolerance of any of the components of the drug, remains.
Other rare side effects:
- Jaundice;
- Reduced HDL-C (good cholesterol);
- Fluid retention;
- Hunger.
Boldenone is also credited with such major side effects of steroids as an increased risk of cancer, heart and liver disease, high blood pressure, changes in blood clotting, an increased risk of atherosclerosis, edema, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Side effects from Boldenone in men may include testicular atrophy, reduced sperm count, infertility, alopecia, gynecomastia (more often with large doses). Side effects from Boldenone in women can include an enlargement in the clitoris, the appearance of body hair, irregular menstruation, deepening of the voice and infertility.
Adolescents who abuse steroids, such as Boldenone, are at considerable risk of irreversible side effects, including stunted growth and abnormal sexual development. Teenage girls, in particular, can suffer from severe acne, excessive growth of the body and face, in-depth voice, a constant increase in the clitoris, menstrual disorders and infertility.
Buying Eminence Labs Steroids
It is worth noting that Boldenone has a high anabolic index, but it is a very mild androgen. Therefore, athletes suffering from the side effects of strong androgens, such as Trenbolone, should not face such side effects when using Boldenone (unless the athlete injects very high doses).
Equipoise is the famously referenced brand name for the veterinary injectable steroid boldenone undecylenate. Explicitly it is a subsidiary of testosterone, which shows solid anabolic and modestly androgenic properties. The undecylenate ester incredibly expands the movement of the drug (the undecylenate ester is just a single carbon iota longer than decanoate), so that clinically infusions would should be rehashed each three or a month. In veterinary medicine Equipoise is most normally utilized on ponies, showing an articulated effect on slender bodyweight, craving and general attitude of the creature. This compound is likewise said to shows a stamped capacity for expanding red platelet production, despite the fact that there ought to be no disarray this is an effect normal for recently all anabolic/androgenic steroids.
Prime Dose Information of Equipoise
Although it remains active for an any longer time, Equipoise is infused at any rate once every week by competitors. It is most generally utilized at a dosage of 200-400 mg (4-8 ml, 50 mg adaptation) every week for men, 50-75 mg for every week for women. Should a 25 mg adaptation be the main product accessible, the infusion volume can turn out to be very awkward. The dosage timetable can be additionally partitioned, maybe infusions given each other day to diminish distress. One ought to likewise take alert to pivot infusion locales consistently, to keep away from aggravation or disease. Should too enormous an oil volume be infused into one site, a boil may shape that requires careful depleting. To maintain a strategic distance from such an issue, competitors will for the most part limit every infusion to 3 ml and reuse each site close to once every week, ideally every other week. With Equipoise this may require utilizing the gluteus, yet in addition the external thighs for an infusion site. Obviously all issues related with 25 mg and 50 mg dosed products are wiped out with the fresher 100 mg and 200 mg/ml variants of this steroid, which plainly give the client significantly more dosage opportunity and infusion comfort.

What's for breakfast in Columbia City? If you were at Chef Tarik Abdullah's pop up brunch last Sunday you might have had the lamb hash cooked with dates, chickpeas, kale and served over polenta, or the cauliflower salad with spiced cashew crème. The Moroccan inspired entrees and friendly vibe had the Royal Room packed from 10:00am-2:00pm.
"Breakfast for me was not a heavy egg, heavy bread thing. I grew up around a lot of vegetables. And if there was an egg it was like a boiled egg," explained Abdullah. "It's a great way to introduce people to spices more than anything because I know when people try the food they're like man whatever spice you put in there I want to know what it is."
Abdullah has been hosting pop up brunches throughout the Central Area and South End for almost three years. What began at the 1st anniversary of the Tin Umbrella migrated to Bannister in Capitol Hill next to Tougo Coffee and has now landed indefinitely at the Royal Room. While the creative menu and artfully prepared food are definitely a draw, brunch goers love the sense of community as well.
"I came for the safe space that I know he creates in the body and in the physical as well as the food. I'm here for all of it," said Sakara Remmu as she settles down to join a table of friends.
"This is the most diverse brunch I've been to in Seattle," recounted Natasha Marin. "It really is. I mean look around the room. It's not just a room of white people in Columbia City. That counts. The food is delicious, which I expect. It's Tarik."
Anastacia Tolbert added: "The ambience is good. I think that something to point out too is that because of the times we're living in, our first responses are to talk about the environment, to talk about the ambience, to talk about how it's diverse, not …we didn't lead off with food. I think good food and good people is a combination we need right now."
Abdullah takes pride in the fact that despite being a pop up brunch, the vibe remains consistent. "We're pretty much always busy and people are always in a good mood," he said. "Its not just about the food. It's about the whole fact of just giving people the experience, understanding what community really is and the community standing behind something that's just beneficial to the neighborhood."
Abdullah's interest in international cuisine began as a kid. "I grew up around really good food. I grew up in a Muslim family, in a Muslim household so a lot of my friends, my childhood friends were from the Middle East or the Mediterranean so I was always around good food, but I never thought it would end up becoming my profession."
As Abdullah enters his 25th year of cooking, passion for food and spices has taken him around the world and inspired him to share what he's learned with the next generation. He has been teaching kids to cook for the past 15 years, most recently through "In the Kitchen with Chef T" at the Hillman City Collaboratory.
"Basically we did 2 hour classes on Saturdays just teaching kids the basic fundamentals while also giving them a chance to just really cook food," explained Abdullah. "And not say lets make some brownies and M&M cookies, but really cook the type of food that you actually had today and they actual learn it and they are all between the ages as little as 6 up to 15." This year's summer camp, in partnership with Coyote Central, is already full, but Abdullah anticipates that he'll be running additional camps next summer to accommodate the interested young people.
"The pop up just kind of gives…for somebody like it me, it just gives me the freedom to work on other projects," explained Abdullah. Abdullah is also involved in the creation of a community funded performing arts space, restaurant and café called the Black and Tan which will open this September in Hillman City where Maxim's used to be.
"The Black and Tan was basically a vision that Rodney Harold, Ben Hunter and I came up with where we just wanted something for the neighborhood, for and by the neighborhood and so the idea of a co-op was like the way to go." James Ackley, the owner of Bob's Quality Meats in Columbia City took an interest in their vision and bought the building. Renovations are already underway.
In the meantime if you're searching for a delicious and unique breakfast, the next pop up will be at the Royal Room on July 31 from 10:00am-2:00pm. There won't be any French toast, but there will be waffles and cuisine that explores the tastes of India and South Africa.

Banned Vintage Off White Button Up Cap Sleeve Blouse, $48 and Banned 1940s Navy High Waist Crepe Full Moon Sailor Pants, $58, both available at uniquevintage.com
Hell Bunny 1940s Black & Ivory Collar Button Up Olsen Blouse, $54, available at uniquevintage.com
What do I admire most about femme fatales? Is it the way these conniving, duplicitous bad girls dupe their lovers? Or the callous decisiveness with which they take their revenge? Barbara Stanwyck. Jane Greer. For me, what makes these women so remarkable isn't their alluring brand of treachery (though Stanwyck looks wickedly seductive as she lures men to their doom while indifferently smoking a cigarette); it's the way they unapologetically defied their gender.
The chicest women know fashion-like composition-is a matter of balance. This summer channel your inner femme fatale and juxtapose a structured masculine top with a pair of ultra-feminine trousers. The blouse's cap sleeves and sharp lines give the ensemble bad girl edge while its classic ivory color renders the look adorably retro. Flowy high-waisted pants offset the rigidness of the top and gorgeously flatter the feminine form. Want to transition this sultry silhouette to winter? Just swap the navy pant for a classic tweed trouser. Add a pair of white cat eye glasses and you'll look as darkly disarming as your favorite femme fatale.
Banned Retro Off White Sleeveless Basic Instinct Keyhole Top, $50, available at uniquevintage.com
Is there anything more delightfully darling than this keyhole top? The cream color and demure neckline embody a dainty femininity while the key-hole and asymmetrical detail add a charming vintage pop. Whether you're heading to the office or enjoying a midday picnic, this elegant blouse will ensure you look nothing short of extraordinary.
Want to look superbly girly? Pair this lovely number with an ultra lady-like 1940s pleated skirt. Its classic circle shape is iconic-not to mention incredibly flattering when paired with a structured shirt.
Banned Retro Yolk Yellow Three-Quarter Bow Sleeve Knit Modern Love Top, $32, available at uniquevintage.com
Want to look fabulously fetching the next time you strut into work? If you're a pin-up girl who wants to look polished, this three-quarter sleeve top is a must. Its classic boat neck recalls the modesty of an earlier era and keeps the look demure enough for work. Practically, I love that its thin, stretchy material makes it easy to seamlessly tuck into a skirt. And who can resist a soft knit in an unexpected color like mustard yellow? Make the look even more killer by adding a curve-hugging pencil skirt.

When life gives you blackberries make grunt! You never heard of that one? Well it may not be an official saying but this is just what I did with the blackberries I found in my backyard. We have a ton of thorny blackberries bushes planted by some previous owners. They are overgrown yet still are producing great sized blackberries. One of the recipes I have been wanting to try for quite a while is Alton Brown's Blackberry Grunt. So what is a grunt anyway? It is fruit topped with a biscuit dough. It is cooked on the stove top and it called a grunt but it sounds like the word when it cooks (although in a house full of screaming kids I never heard it!). The reason blackberries make for an especially good grunt is that they contain a lot of pectin, so they jell really well without much effort.
To learn more about different types of baked fruit desserts, read my post on What is the Difference Between a Cobbler and a Crisp?
My Recipe Notes | Print the recipe
1. The dough is really easy to make. If you have ever made biscuits this is a snap. You don't even have to roll the dough out and punch out the biscuits. Just dispense the dough on top of the fruit using a disher - makes it so easy.
2. When cooking the fruit, be patient. Make sure your blackberries have thickened before adding the topping. If you play your cards right you will have thick fruit beneath your dough and not a soupy mess. If you are not confident that the berries are thick enough, then it cook it longer. Stir often - you don't want blackened berries.
3. I love that this dish is cooked in cast iron. Makes for an excellent table presentation as well as a photo. I used my Lodge Cast Iron Skillet.
Lodge makes high quality American made products that I highly recommend and they are affordable.
4. You can finish this dish on the stove top if you want to be traditional. But you can also stick it in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. This will brown up the dough on top, which is something you won't get on top of the stove.
5. I recommend eating it all in one day. The leftovers aren't nearly as good. The biscuits dough will soak up too much liquid in the fridge and just become unappetizing. Safe this dish to make when you have enough people coming over to eat it. Alton says this feeds about 6-8 people.
I was very pleased with the way this came out. The fruit was delicious. The texture was jam like. The dough on top was a nice change of pace from my standard cobbler topping. Overall very happy with this dish and would make it again. The only thing I would change was making sure not to save any for another day.

The Rating Calculator
Join the fastest growing tennis community today!
The best tennis matches are when the competition is intense and you cannot guess who will win the match. When two players are perfectly matched up in their abilities and strengths, the game becomes a thrilling drama of serves, volleys, and returns. That's why partner matching is at the core of the TennisPAL app.
Get Your Skill Level Verified on the TennisPAL App
You can get your skill level approved by a TennisPAL coach by submitting a video to verify your abilities. Simply download the app and update your profile to an NTRP rating of 4.5 or higher. You will then be asked to submit a video of your gameplay to be verified by a coach. TennisPAL Coaches quickly review your video and can give you an approved skill rating badge in your profile.
Ranking Programs
The Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) system and the National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) are both widely accepted tennis player skill rating systems. Unlike the NTRP, UTR is a grading system that applies to tennis players of any age, sex, and skill level. UTR only cares for the scoreboard.
Universal Tennis Ratings is calculated using a complex and proprietary computer algorithm. The governing organization calculates this score for tennis athletes. According to Universal Tennis, generally, UTRs are calculated like this: We look at the last thirty matches that you have played (during the past 12 months), and calculate the percentage games that you won in each match. Then, for each of those matches, we calculate a "dynamic" rating number, which is based on your and your opponent's pre-match UTRs and the percentage of games that you won in the match. The dynamic rating number is indicative of what your rating would be if your whole rating were only to be based on the results from that one match. The higher the percentage of games you win in a match, the higher your dynamic rating for that match; the lower the percentage of games you win in a match, the lower your dynamic rating for that match. The algorithm then considers such things as: how far apart your and your opponent's UTRs are, what the format (e.g., 8-game pro set, 2-out-3 sets, etc.) of the match was, the reliability of your opponent's personal rating, how many of your most recent (30) matches were played against that same opponent, whether the loser reached the Competitive Threshold in the match, whether the match was a blowout win (e.g., 6-0, 6-1) for either player, whether the match was played to its completion, whether there was a prohibitive favorite in the match, and other factors… and then assigns a weighting factor to the dynamic rating for that match. The algorithm then calculates a weighted average of the dynamic ratings of all of the last 30 matches that you played during the past year…. and, voila, there's your UTR.
USTA's National Tennis Rating Program is similar to UTR because it is also a computer generated score, however, the criteria that it uses to calculate is drastically different. Your current NTRP rating is calculated by using your year end rating, your opponent's rating, and the margin of victory or defeat. Although your official rating is calculated by the USTA, they provide tools for self rating and skill level guidelines for you to get a rough idea of your level.
At the core of TennisPAL is our Find PAL feature – we want you to be able to find a tennis anywhere, any time. An important aspect of finding a good tennis partner is to be matched up with someone with the same skill level. That is why the TennisPAL app searches for players who are close to your UTR skill level. This perfect pairing is what makes the difference between having an amazing tennis match or not.
Being able to show up to the court with everything you need for a winning match start with having the right equipment. If you're looking for new gear, Tennis Warehouse has the best selection of tennis gear.

Remember the old-style countertops made from laminate and cultured marble? Counters have come a long way in the past 20 years, and every tasteful home has custom stone countertops that wear beautifully and add timeless style to the kitchen and bathrooms.
Stone Is Practically Zero Maintenance
If there are two spaces that have a lot of messes, it's the kitchen and the bathroom. The many messy substances used in these rooms, from gooey foods to sticky toothpaste, can quickly make a mess of counters. However, custom stone countertops come with virtually no maintenance needed other than a quick wipe with a moist cloth, and an occasional sealant depending on the type of stone. That's it. It doesn't stain like old-fashioned countertops, and it takes just seconds to clean it.
The Dazzling Array of Natural Colors
Natural stone comes in so many colors, it astounds those who visit showrooms. From indulgent, clean white to a wide array of beiges to bright colors like blue and orange, you can find a color that perfectly sets off the rest of your kitchen's decor. Those who want a single color for their countertops have plenty of shades to choose from. Those who want a mottled or swirling pattern have just as many. From dots to swirls to sparkles, natural stone comes in all of these looks and more.
A Permanent Countertop
Countertops used to stain, chip and crack so often that they needed to be repaired or replaced every decade or so. A stone countertop, however, comes with the enduring qualities of natural stone. In 10 years it will look just the way it does today, and you'll still love the classic texture, color and pattern of your elegant counter. Contact us today to get started on designing your custom stone countertop!

Welcome to another edition of the Beneath the Tangles Light Novel Club! With it being the holiday season, I gave our club a break and decided to approach a novel on my own (which gave me the chance to read a book that probably no one else on staff wanted to read anyway!). Having read volume one of the True Tenchi Muyo! novels for our fourth session, we're jumping into volume two, titled "Yosho," for this one!
Since a discussion format won't do with just one club member being involved, I'm changing up the format as well. Today, I'm giving you Five Questions We Had (and Five We Didn't) That True Tenchi Muyo! Volume 2 Answers!
Question We Didn't Have #1: Why is Ayeka's hair purple?
The assumption, of course, is that it just matches her father, Azusa's hair, but as we find out, in-born genetics is not the case for the shade of purple. The prologue to the novel starts with an unexpected scene, with Washu reverting Ayeka's hair color to its original BLUE. Yep, in the category of things we didn't know we didn't know is that Ayeka and Sasami both share their mother's hair color.
But this isn't just some trivial information—the reason that Ayeka's hair is digitally edited when she is young is because of Yosho. As a child, Yosho has an unrequited love toward his step-mother, Misaki, whose hair is of course blue. That presents a problem—not because of incest, which is a continual theme in Tenchi Muyo, but because Misaki is the emperor's wife. So Seto, ever the meddler/thinker/strategist, seeks to find ways for Yosho to forget his feelings for Misaki. Yosho becomes betrothed to his step-sister, now with hair that matches her father's color, not her mom's. He is is also sent away to the Galaxy Police Academy to keep him far away from Misaki.
Question We Had #1: Is Yosho interesting enough to carry an entire light novel?
Let's face it: other than Tenchi himself, Yosho is probably the least interesting major character from the original OVAs. So how could we read an entire novel with him as the central character? Well, as with volume one, the answer is partly given by looking at Yosho as a child and young man, before he's set in his ways, which helps to make him more intriguing. But he's also surrounded by other interesting characters (reminiscent of Tenchi's situation) and royal intrigue. So the answer is both yes and no—Yosho is interesting, though he doesn't carry the light novel himself.
Question We Didn't #2: What was Yosho like as a child?
In anime and anime-related works, children are often developed out of archetypes—they play a role, but except for a few notable exceptions, there's not much too them. It's a bold choice, then, to focus a large portion of a light novel on a boy, even one entering adolescence. But it works very well, especially when relating it to volume one where the wild and bold Azusa is center stage. Yosho is confident but well-mannered and respectful. But there is a little Azusa in him, too, especially when it comes to a desire to take action—and that helps keep things interesting.
Question We Had #2: What was Yosho like as a young man?
One of the most shocking disclosures of the original OVAs was when Yosho removes his disguise, revealing himself to be Katsuhito, a handsome man appearing to be in his twenties. Kept young by his tree/ship, Funaho, it now looked like he—not rat-tailed Tenchi—was the true lead of this series! My assumption would have been that this Yosho would be the primary character of the book bearing his name. Alas, we don't get much of the young-man version of Yosho. We do see a teen version fighting Ryoko, but it's only in the last portion of the book. Though he's engaging—it's like the responsible young Yosho I mentioned above meets a determined, strong, and freedom-seeking adolescent—it's probably for the best that he doesn't fit into the story for long. We get just a taste of him as he fights Ryoko—more on that later.
Question We Didn't #3: How did Yosho meet his wife?
The family drama that is Jurai is complicated. I've absorbed it in clumps and pieces over the last couple of decades, and so I'm forever forgetting and remembering and learning the connections all over again. One thing I'd forgotten was about Yosho's wife—the story does a nice job of introducing her, developing the couple's relationship, and even making suitable excuses for their distance between them. Plus, TWO FOR ONE: we get to meeting Yosho's first wife as well, who is of course also related to him.
Question We Had #3: How could Yosho be stronger than Ryoko with the three jewels?
He's not, but the book, which describes the fight between the two, explains how Yosho is able to defeat Ryoko. It takes some assistance, tenacity, and strategy. Ryoko is already harmed when she fights Yosho, handicapped by her meeting with Tsunami. Yosho is able to counter Ryoko, also, with help from his ship, Funaho, and his Light Hawk Wings, which he uses to take two of Ryoko's jewels away. And still, even with one jewel left, Ryoko proved to be a formidable foe.
Question We Didn't #4: What role does religion play in Tenchi Muyo?
Religion in Tenchi Muyo always surrounds the ideas of the Chusin (the three goddesses) and the Juraian trees, though none of this is religious in any typical sense of the word. However, religion unexpectedly takes on a stronger meaning in this second light novel. A conflict occurs when Yosho becomes close to Airi, who is the daughter of the head priest / leader of a world with a theocratic government which has a lot of tension with Jurai, and later we discover, is hatching a plot involving Tsunami. Airi's people want Tsunami for her power, an object of veneration that will help the government consolidate their grip on the people, a nice analogy to how some governments and leaders use religion today.
Question We Had #4: How did Yosho seal Ryoko away?
As I mentioned before, Tenchi Muyo! isn't known for it action scenes, but the light novels paint their action better than how such scenes are animated in the OVAs. The chapter involving Ryoko is engaging and exciting, as Yosho must find a way to calm her power and rid her of her jewels before he can defeat her. The excitement is also heightened because the entire last chapter feels like fanservice—it details events of which we already know and features a beloved character at her maximum strength. In that way, I was reminded of The Phantom Menace, which introduced us to some of the major players as young people, and also of Rogue One, whose ending connect directly to A New Hope, as the end of Yosho connects to the first OVA.
Question We Didn't #5: How strong is Funaho anyway?
In the second OVA, Funaho is introduced as a woman of calm and gentle demeanor, though with a hidden fiery side. The light novel explores that part of her more. Enhanced somehow through her time in Jurai, Funaho has become a warrior in her own right (though only through a certain condition—I won't spoil that for those who haven't yet read), one so strong that she can take down fearsome warriors and challenge even the strongest members of Jurain royalty. No wonder her son and grandson are so powerful!
Question We Had #5: Why did Yosho stay on earth?
I had long assumed that Yosho stayed on earth for reasons of its peaceful existence, to keep an eye on Ryoko, and because he simply couldn't return home. Those do all apply (though perhaps he could have made contact with Jurai through Funaho), but there are other conditions, too—less significant is that he took the fall for Ryoko's attack, and more importantly is that the decision was the culmination of the entire novel, which could be described as Yosho's search to determine what he wants to do with his life. And what he wants is the freedom to make his own decisions.
And so concludes this meeting of the Beneath the Tangles light novel club! I hope you enjoyed exploring some questions about Tenchi Muyo! that volume two answered, and I hope you'll pick up the series if you haven't read it (it's really very good). In the meantime, stay tuned as we make some changes to the club in the coming year, though as always, we hope you'll join along and become part!

Egg FreeGluten FreeWhole 30 Jump to Recipe
A healthier version of your favorite taco (and mine!), these lightened up fish tacos feature an unfried tortilla, baked fish seasoned to perfection, and a light and crunchy slaw!
When you are back to reality after the greatest couple of weeks of your life, when you are watching snow flurries out the window and trying to resist the urge to sell your house and move to a houseboat in the Caribbean, when you're surrounded by laundry waiting to be folded and a sink full of dirty dishes…well then it behooves you to take solace in a fish taco. I know I should be posting things involving squash and pecans and cranberries and, believe me, there are plenty of Thanksgiving-friendly recipes on the way, but I just can't dive in yet. To acknowledge Thanksgiving is to put the wedding chapter behind me, and I just need to hold on to it for one. more. day. So, grab a mojito and pull up a chair: we're having fish tacos in November.
After a prolonged absence, I feel like maybe I owe you some kind of recap. But I also don't want to be perceived as one of those people who flashes their wedding pictures around like they are the only woman who has ever gotten married. But since I spent a few days of my hiatus in Puerto Rico, let's compromise and stare longingly at the longingly at photos of the beach… …and the rainforest… …and wish we were there. I'll be the first to admit that this is the world's worst snapshot of a beautiful island, and I apologize to anyone who is Puerto Rican, has been there, or has even the slightest affinity for it. I had hoped to get out of the resort to explore San Juan and eat some authentic Puerto Rican dish that I could then recreate for you, with my own twist, here. But you'll have to forgive me, because when we arrived last Monday, I had only slept for a total of about 7 hours since the previous Friday morning, and it was pouring rain so, instead of getting out of the hotel to explore and try some of the local fare, our "mini moon" looked mostly – between naps, that is – like the bottom of a mojito and a fist full of fish tacos. Every day.

Lightened Up Fish Tacos
Ingredients for the fish
- 15 oz sturdy whitefish, I used wild cod, cut into 1/2″x3″ strips
- 3-4 Tablespoons olive or another healthy oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of allspice
Ingredients for the slaw
- 2 1/2 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
- 1 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup fresh, packed, washed cilantro , roughly chopped
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Generous pinch salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Ingredients for assembly
- 8-10 small corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, washed, packed
- Avocado slices
- Lime wedges
- Crema, see note, if desired
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking dish with tin foil and spray or brush foil with about a tablespoon (or less) oil. Put aside.
- Toss the fish with more oil, until each piece is completely coated. I used about 3 Tablespoons.
- Arrange the greased fish close together in a single layer in the pan.
- Make the seasoning by whisking together all of the spices (garlic through allspice) in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle half of the seasoning evenly over the fish pieces, flip them, and then coat with the remainder of the spice mix.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
- While the fish is baking, make the slaw. Toss together the cabbage, carrots and cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together the rest of the slaw ingredients (oil through red pepper flakes) to make a dressing. Pour over the slaw, making sure to coat it at evenly as possible. Use your hands to gently massage the dressing into the cabbage, which will soften it slightly.
- When the fish is finished cooking, assemble the tacos: Top 2 tortillas with 2-3 pieces of fish, then cover with slaw and garnish with additional cilantro, an avocado slice, a lime wedge and a drizzle of crema (optional).
If you want to finish these with a crema-type dressing, stir together about a 1/4 cup plain greek or coconut milk yogurt with a Tablespoon of lime juice and a pinch each of salt, pepper, garlic and red pepper flakes (or to taste). If it's too thick, add a few drops of water to thin it out to a pour-able consistency. Drizzle over the tacos before eating.
To make this paleo, simply skip the tortillas and eat the fish over the slaw topped with the garnishes. It's just as good – I promise!
Yield: 4-5 tacos

Video games are one of the most popular hobbies around the world. In just the United States, over 164 million adults play video games. On a world scale, gaming reached approximately 2.4 billion people. And due to its sheer popularity, creating a gaming website has become a common sight.
Many large scale clans or guilds end up building their very own clan gaming website. This is a website intended for the members of the clan in which events can be listed, stats can be tracked, and memes can be shared.
Today, I will teach you the basics of creating a gaming website for your clan or guild in WordPress.
What You Will Need To Build A Clan Website
Before every boss, you need to be prepared. Have the best equipment, craft the potions, and eat the food. And building a website is very similar. You will need a few things before you begin, otherwise, you are going to see that dreaded, "game over" screen.
A Clan/Guild/Free Company
This one probably doesn't need to be said, but let's do so anyway. If you want to build a website that is for your clan, you need to actually have one first. Building a clan website before anyone joins is like picking out a house before you are approved for a loan. It just doesn't work.
Once a clan has it's core members, then it can form around the activities it does and will be sculpted by that gaming culture. The colors you use, the clan logo you create, this is all shaped by your various adventures and achievements you make.
Pick The Games
In the past, it was normal for a clan to focus on one game. However, 2020 is different. There are just a lot more options when it comes to games, which has led to players spreading their time amongst a few games instead of one.
Your website should reflect each game and from a development standpoint, you need to know which games your clan has a presence in.
Discord is hands down the most popular communication tool for gamers in the world. It is only natural that you create a Discord and have it present on your website. There are many plugins for WordPress that allow you to integrate the two platforms.
How to Build A Clan Website
If this is your first time building a website, you may think only a professional can build something awesome. But that just isn't true.
As long as you pick the right platform to build it one, you website will look just as good. And it won't even take that long to make.
Pick A Web Hosting Company & Domain Name
Before you can begin crafting your website, you need a web hosting company and a domain name. There are a lot of web hosting companies, and they are not created equal. Thus, you need to make sure you pick one that is reliable, scalable, and affordable.
On top of this, you need to pick out a domain name. In many cases, you will pick YourClanName.com. This makes it easy for members to find your site. Alternatively, you may consider putting the game your clan focuses on playing in the domain name as well. This will help you attract more people.
Why WordPress Is The Best CMS For You
All that's left is to decide what platform you will build your website on. There are many out there, but none are as popular as the WordPress CMS. That is because WordPress is extremely customizable and requires no coding at all, although you can code if you want too.
Instead, all you need to do is pick a theme and select some plugins and you're ready to start.
The Best Gaming Themes
A theme is what decides how your website appears in WordPress. Each theme can be customized to an extent. This includes changing the colors and fonts used. Here are some of the best gaming themes WordPress has to offer but make sure to take a look in the WordPress theme directory yourself.
There are thousands to choose from, so you may find something you like better within the repository.
Lopper is a theme that offers a simple design that is perfect for displaying new events. In your case, this might be new gaming events, contests, or just an update on the clan status. The design focuses on the colors you choose, which is perfect for displaying your clan colors proudly.
Adventure Lite
Adventure Lite is an attractive theme that is perfect for a clan. While its intended use is for sporting activities like cycling, hiking, and more, it is also perfect for esports. The design elements fit exactly what a clan website would need.
Gaming Mag
Gaming Mag is the child theme of News Vibrant, but with a focus on gaming. This is a great theme to choose if you expect to write a lot of blog or clan news posts. However, it is extremely customizable and you can add plenty of features to it via plugins. It is simple to use and looks great while doing it.
Deejay is a responsive theme that focuses on event planning. That makes it a great pick for clans that have a lot of events. This can be for competitions, raid days, celebrations, and whatever other types of events you create. And it looks great while doing it.
Event Planners
Event Planners, as the name implies, is all about planning events. Again, a huge part of most clan websites is hosting events, gaming sessions, and other clan activities. Having a theme that specializes in planning can help you go a long way.
5 Plugins To Help You Get Started
WordPress plugins are like apps for your smartphone. They add new features to your website and they won't require any additional coding. Here are some of the ones that will help you build a successful clan website.
Contact Form 7
You are going to need a way to collect information from your prospective clan members. This can be application forms, tournament or event sign-ups, feedback surveys, and more. Contact Form 7 is a free plugin that allows you to create amazing contact forms for any situation. Making it a great pick for just about any type of website.
Do you want to make your website feel gamey? You can with the GamiPress plugin. It allows you to turn normal site activities into challenges and achievements for your clan members to earn. Some might even post more to just complete challenges, which will make your website more active.
GamiPress also has a host of premium add-ons like leaderboards or BuddyPress integration.
Speaking of BuddyPress, that is also a great addition to any website that wants to create a social experience. And wouldn't you know it, that is a big part of the clan experience. This plugin makes it easy for members to form groups or to be a part of multiple clans. If you want your clan to feel like a social network, BuddyPress will help you do it.
Advanced Steam Widget
The Advanced Steam Widget plugin is a great addition to your website. If you are indeed the clan leader, providing your Steam account details, i.e your name, and what you are playing is a really nice touch. Just remember that the Steam privacy changes require you to turn your account details to "public" or else the plugin will not work.
Alternatively, you could use a different plugin to display your PSN account or your Xbox gamer tag.
Find Game API's
I know, I know, I said WordPress plugins, but not having access to actual game data is a big mistake! Many games have lots of API tools and information ready for you to use. This can be for displaying a character, seeing in-game achievements, seeing stats, and much more. In some cases, the developers give this information out on their own website.
A great example of this is League of Legends developers, Riot Games. You can get access to all of your stats straight from the source.
How To Engage Your Clan
Having a website is just not enough in 2020. You need to be able to reach your target audience on a variety of platforms. In this case, it may be a bit easier since you probably know exactly what your clan is interested in.
I said it once and I'll say it again, Discord is the most popular way to communicate in gaming communities. In many cases, Discord has actually replaced clan websites as it makes it easy for clan members to communicate with each other and team up. If you don't have a discord, your clan is doomed in 2020.
One of the best ways to engage your audience is actually in-game. Making sure your website is a resource to clanmates can help you get a reliable amount of traffic. Many games with clan support have ways to advertise your clan in-game, so take advantage of them.
Live Stream
Gamers love watching live streams, especially when its someone they know. Connecting your website with Twitch or YouTube to make it easy for clam members to find your streams is a great way to engage with your audience.
While this is very similar to live streaming, video content is really popular in general. In fact, 2 out of 5 of the most popular YouTube channels are focused on gaming. It should go without saying that having a dedicated YouTube channel for your clan is a big deal.
Reddit is the 7th most popular website in the world and the 7th most popular subreddit is gaming. Coincidence? I think not. Reddit is becoming extremely important, and many developers use it as a platform to address their audience. Making a presence on the gaming subreddits that apply to your clan can be a tremendous benefit.
What Can You Do With A Clan Website
Schedule Events
While many people rely on discord to organize gaming events, a website is just as effective. For example, many games require a lot of players to do a specific piece of content. This is not something that can just be organized on a whim. Instead, you usually need to assign a specific date and time to make sure everyone shows up.
Your website is the perfect place to do this.
Create Clan Leaderboards
Some games only give you the most basic tools when creating a clan. And this can aggravate the more competitive clans. You can use your gaming website to create clan specific leaderboards. Many games have APIs available that allow you to collect information directly from the game. Not only can you use this to create leaderboards, but you can also create unique challenges for your clan.
Provide Clan Information
If you have ever run your own clan, you definitely know that there is not enough room to properly describe your clan and what rules your members need to follow. A website is a perfect place to meticulously detail the rules your members must follow if they wish to remain a member.
Make Your Clan Proud
Most gamers understand the importance of appearances, which is exactly why we dress our characters in the most bad-ass outfits available. Your gaming website is no different. Make sure it's something that other gamers want to be a part of.

Balloon Celebration and Weekly Deals
- I began by first stamping the collection of strings on Whisper White Cardstock using a Black Memento Stamp Pad.
- Although there are several stamping options for the balloons themselves, I opted to simply punch out cardstock using the coordinating Balloon Bouquet Punch. Bundle and save 15% when you purchase the Balloon Celebration stamp set AND the coordinating Balloon Bouquet Punch. I used all colors from the Subtles Collection, with the exception of the In Color Mint Macaron. I just love this soft green!
- I arranged the balloons to look as if they're coming from the strings and used Dimensionals to create depth to the bundle.
- A piece of Calypso Coral Seam Binding Ribbon ties them all together. Use a Glue Dot for a fast hold.
- Love the font used for the sentiments in Balloon Celebration! I accented my sentiment banner with a Wisteria Wonder Candy Dot from the Subtles Collection.
- The background diagonal striped paper comes from the Subtles Color Collection. This package of designer paper is so versatile and economical. You'll receive 40 sheets of 12″x12″ paper, 2 each of 2 double-sided designs in all 10 collection colors.
- I often use a thin black border to set off the various elements of my cards. By using Black Cardstock between the card base and the designer paper, it really makes the colors pop!
And today is Tuesday, so there are new Weekly Deals! Stampin' Up! also announced today that they will be discontinuing the Weekly Deals program on April 18th. So there's just two weeks left to get in on the savings!

Ferdinand II of Aragon(1452 - 1516) was ruler of Sicily and Aragon and his marriage to Queen Isabella I of Castille(1451 – 1504), collectively known as the Catholic Monarchs, formed the basis for the eventual political unification of Spain. To mark the quincentenary of his death in 1516 the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre(Royal Spanish Mint) is issuing two commemorative collector's coins.
The first is a sterling silver(.925 Fineness) proof commemorative crown, denominated as €10. The slightly larger than average 40mm(1.57 inch) coin depicts a three-quarter portrait of Ferdinand II of Aragon slightly offset to the left of the coin. To his right is the date, 2016, and the country of issue, "ESPAÑA"(SPAIN), is inscribed along the rim just above the date. The image of Ferdinand II of Aragon used here was taken from a portrait of the 15th century ruler currently being curated at the Naval Museum in Madrid.
The obverse design features the Coat of Arms of Ferdinand II of Aragon as it appears on the ceiling and various other decorative trimmings of the Aljafería Palace at Zaragosa. The Coat of Arms is slightly offset to the right with the denomination appearing to the left of the coin. Along the rim to the top appears the inscription " FERNANDO II DE ARAGON" and to the bottom left "1516 – 2016". The mintmark of the Royal Spanish Mint appears just to the left of the Coat of Arms, below the denomination of "10 EURO".
The silver 10 Euro Ferdinand II of Aragon proof coin has a limited mintage of 7500 coins total, and will tip the scales at 27gram(0.95oz).
The second coin to be released is a 100 Euro gold coin, of .999 Fineness gold. The reverse design of the coin depicts an old gold 4 Excelentes coin that bore the effigies of the two Catholic Monarchs, facing each other. The legend is inscribed just above in a semi-circle along the rim and reads : "ESPAÑA – 2016".
The obverse depicts an external view of the Aljafería Palace at Zaragosa. The obverse legend reads : "PALACIO DE LA ALJAFERIA 100 EUROS". The Royal Spanish Mint's mintmark appears just above to the right.
The gold 100 Euro coin measures23mm(0.9 inch) and is just shy of a full 1/4oz of pure gold at 6.75gram. The gold 100 Euro coin has a limited mintage of 2500 proof coins. Both coins are issued in a blue velvet lined display case from Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre individually or together as a set. The silver 10 Euro coin is set to retail for around €45.00 and the gold 100 Euro coin for €375.00. Alternatively the two coin set can be obtained from the Royal Spanish Mint.

We come across this situation a lot when we see drops in QOS classes and continuous increase in "Total Output drops" on interfaces but for sure our traffic never crosses CIR rate which ISP provides. This quizzes mostly every network engineer many times in their career.
You would see something like this:
Router#show interface ten0/0 TenGigabitEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up (connected) <----SNIP---> Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 12020 <----SNIP---->
If you see QOS outputs in most of the cases you would see queue related drops :
Class-map: child1 (match-all) 288257 packets, 409102610 bytes 30 second offered rate 1397000 bps, drop rate 0342 bps Match: access-group name TEST Queueing queue limit 64 packets (queue depth/total drops/no-buffer drops) 10/10023/10023 (pkts output/bytes output) 288234/409072332 bandwidth 70% (1400 kbps)
So basically what is happening here is we are seeing a burst of traffic hitting to the router and router resources are not able to contain it. Lets understand it in simpler term. Suppose you have CIR rate of 10 packets per second for a class , but you know that there can be a situation when there can be 11-15 packets coming to egress out of the interface in that class. So to contain anything more than a 10packet/second you have kept a buffer which can queue upto 5 packets for some sub seconds.Also we are assuming that all the other classes are fully utilized and there is no bandwidth available to share between classes. Now if we receive 10 packets we are well within CIR rate and we transmit it, if we receive 12 packets we have crossed the CIR for the class (You might not have crossed overall CIR rate on that interface) but still we have space left in our buffer so we queue 2 packets in the buffer, and the router after sending out those 10 packets picks up the packet in queue and send it out. Now again, lets assume we have received a burst of 20 packets per second, we can send 10 packet per second and store 5 packet in the buffer but what about the other 5 packet ? Unfortunately, it gets dro pped and our "no-buffer drops " and "total drops" gets incremented by 5. The queue situation will look like this.
(queue depth/total drops/no-buffer drops) 5/5/5
Queue depth -> packets which are in the buffer right now
Total drops -> CIR drop and Queue drops
no-buffer Drops-> Queue full drops
So we have covered the back ground of burst, now lets see how we can identify this with the help of wireshark.
It is simple to get the burst identified in the wireshark capture. Following is the step.
- Capture the right data, for example you are seeing drops in a particular class. Capture data for only that class or use proper wireshark filer to get the packets which should be hitting to the class which we need to investigate.
- Once you have the proper packets identified, then in wireshark go to statistics >I/O graph
- Click on I/O graph and you will see a window pop up which will tell you packets per second, like below
Here we are very clearly seeing the spike in packet packet per second which is going from less than 100 to 700 packets within seconds. You can see the "interval" at the bottom, you can change the interval to to get more granular data in miliseconds so lets see how many packets we were seeing in miliseconds.
Looking at graph we know that we have few fairly long bars where packets per milisecond was more than 30 packets. If the CIR rate on the router was 10 Packets per second and the buffer length was 5 packets then definitely we were dropping 15 packets for that interval.
I will cover how to identify top talkers in your network with the help of wireshark in my next blog.
Thanks for visiting my blog, please share your thoughts in comments section.
Stay tuned for more.

2017 has been a pretty good travel year so far, and the year is only half over! Today I am going to take a quick look back at the past six months, and later this week we will do a sneak peak of the exciting travel I have coming up in the second half of the year!
January – Bay Area; Detroit and Chicago
While not the best time of year to visit (how you know it was a work trip), my first visit to Detroit did not disappoint, and ANY chance to be in Chicago is a good one, even if it was so cold I felt like my face was going to freeze off!
A good reward for dealing with the cold from the last trip, my family and I spent a week on the Kona coast of the Big Island. Highlights were a trip to the green sand beach, and the magnificent sunsets nearly every night.
Another trip for work to a couple of awesome places. Phoenix includes seeing my best friends, and Atlanta is always a good time, full of culture and amazing food. On this trip, I saw the MLK Center and walked through the Oakland Cemetery – I will write about both sometime soon.
Back to Detroit, but for spring – beautiful weather and flowering trees all over the city. I also made a short trip to Belle Isle to visit the conservatory there, and won some money playing poker in Greek Town!
This trip will always be special to me since it was the first I wrote up here on the blog. I visited Memphis, Arkansas, and Mississippi, and conducted my first Royal Tour interview with John Vergos of Rendezvous! It was a beautiful part of the country, and one I am glad to have shared with you.
To put my travel another way, here is my flight diary from the first half of the year.
I am truly blessed to have done each of these trips – yes, even the work ones – and look forward to sharing more exciting destinations with you in the second half of the year!!

Linton Kwesi Johnson has received an honorary doctorate from Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa
ACCLAIMED POET, reggae artist and political activist Linton Kwesi Johnson has received an honorary doctorate from Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa in recognition of his "inspiring political activism". His poetry and music were called "the soundtrack of the 1980s anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa".
After he was presented with a doctorate in literature for his poetry on April 20, Jamaican-born Johnson addressed the large congregation of graduating students and their families. Whilst referring to the controversy surrounding the statue of Cecil Rhodes at Oxford, Johnson's speech concentrated on public and personal links to South Africa.
He reminded the audience that Jamaica had been the first country to disassociate itself from apartheid South Africa and that one of South Africa's most revered public intellectuals, Peter Abrahams, who died in January in St Andrew, Jamaica, was one of the island's favourite adopted sons. The poet also spoke of the links created by reggae music.
Johnson reminisced about three key encounters with South African exiles in London back in the 1970s during his time as a Black Panther. Lawyer Barney Desai, race relations officer Lionel Morrison (later the first black president of the National Union of Journalists) and writer Lewis Nkosi all contributed to Johnson's fight to clear his name after being put on trial for assault when he came to the aid of a black youngster being arrested with excessive force by police in Brixton, London in 1972.
Later on, in the 1990s, Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Dennis Bovell Dub Band played a reggae concert in Alexandria township in South Africa. During that visit in 1995, Johnson met Albertina and Walter Sisulu in Soweto. He has also given several poetry readings in the country over the last 23 years.
Johnson was nominated for this doctorate by Rhodes University's Professor Rod Walker, Professor Robert van Niekirk, Professor S Naidu and Professor M Hendricks, who stated that they wanted to recognise Johnson's "seminal contribution, through poetry and music, to decolonise the English language and the English literary canon".
Johnson also attended a tribute event where South African poet Lesego Rampolokeng and others thanked him for his inspiring political activism and noted that his poetry and music were called "the soundtrack of the 1980s anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa".

Unfortunately that's not possible which is why we developed our own support and training material for you to study between your lessons, giving you more bang for your buck.

Keith Keogh
Keith Keogh passed the test with RSA School of Motoring
I contacted RSA School of Motoring a week prior to my driving test and had 2 lessons and also a pre-test on the day of my driving test. The advice I was given and things I learned from RSA is fantastic, I was put right at ease and given great confidence for the test and needless to say I passed!!!! I would highly recommend RSA School of Motoring to anybody applying for their driving test.
niamh lalor
Another one passes the test. Well done niamh lalor
Passed first time! I just want to say a big thank you to my driving instructor and the RSA School of Motoring for helping me pass successfully on my first attempted... Was an amazing instructor who showed me how I should drive and spent a lot of time refining my techniques to the level required to pass. He also worked on making me a confident and calm driver which was a big advantage on the day of my test...I heard of the RSA School of Motoring through a work colleague who said they were extremely good and helped her pass successfully. I'm so glad she recommend them and I would definitely recommend them to anyone learning to drive. I can now say I feel confident enough to drive anywhere on my own :)
RSA School of Motoring have the precise reputation for student success we have been talking about and we have the verified reviews to show it. So if you need driving lessons you would be getting a head start choosing us. Let us show you why.
More than likely you fall into one of two categories. You need to complete or start your 12 EDT driving lessons. Or you have completed your EDT and have a driving test to prepare for.
What's the difference?
Essential Driver Training: The history?
EDT Driving Lessons Abington
You may not know but many years ago Ireland had one of the worst road accident records in Europe. In an effort to control these stats the Road Safety Authority introduced a new and compulsory training initiative for first time drivers. The Essential Driver Training or EDT.
The EDT syllabus requires that 12 structured driving lessons have to be completed, stamped and uploaded to the RSA website by a registered ADI.
In an effort to reduce accidents and fill the apparent driving skills gap that many new road users were lacking, the 12 lesson syllabus was created.
That's the 'whats' and 'whys' of the EDT.
The Test: Crucial preparation
Pretest Driving Lessons Abington
There is learning the vital driving skills and developing your knowledge of road signs and road safety. And then there is learning to pass the driving test. Being allowed to drive by yourself on Abington roads is a right you must earn and the driving test is your opportunity to do it. Like any exam you have ever had to sit, 80% of passing the driving test is accomplished long before the day of the test with correct preparation.
If your test is booked there is a lot of unknowns and fears to contend with. They so often get the best of even the most seasoned driver. So it stands to reason that we have to shine a light in the dark, eliminate the unknowns and the fear. Which is precisely what our pretest driving lessons will do.
It is standard practice by many driving instructors to keep giving you lessons until they 'think' you are ready. Often they will send you to do the test not really knowing if you will pass or not. And they do this because they do not truly understand the driving test, how you will be graded or what areas of your driving will cause you to fail. Luckily this is not how we operate. All our instructors have been trained by ex-testers so they fully understand the driving tester and what they are looking for from you on test day.
Complete your pretest training with is and not only will you understand all four stages of the driving test, you'll know the potential test routes you may be brought on and you'll know exactly how the tester will speak to you and what they specifically want you to demonstrate.

Not long ago, Tara and I put together some blog planner pages. Recently, someone commented that they would love to have pages for adding contacts to their planner. And so here we are to fulfill that request!
How did we not think of this before? It's quite handy to keep around. Also, thank you Tara, for reminding me that having a place for "Email" was a good idea. (Yes, I nearly forgot that on my original plan...really.)
These pages print with two per sheet, and have places to write down name, phone, email, blog, shop and twitter. These aren't editable files, so you'll have to write things down the old-fashioned way, but it will give you an excuse to try out some cute new pens!

Arsenal Fans Club
I am a 23 years old studyig e2BM in University of Warwick. I currently live in Heronbank and working on my project.
I love football and I am the fan of Arsenal FC. My friend, Jie Sun, has just gone home yesterda and I am glad to meet her. I would like to see her coming back and best luck to our project.
