Historical Wine tasting Vera de Estenas
11:32 AM | Publicado por vinovalenciano | Edit Post
The historic winery Vera de Estenas, held on June 15 an exclusive and limited historical tasting of DO Utiel-Requena. We went the first private cellar of the region that bottled Reserva and Gran Reserva wines varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as the first to develop an aging of white wines with Chardonnay grapes and how could it be otherwise, we went pioneers in Bobal grape growing old and produce great wines from this variety.
For over 30 years, we've saved a sensational sample of the best years in our cellar, so that today we have the privilege of tasting wines that were developed in the early 80s and it is an adventure to know how have evolved and what we can find in the bottle.
We have prepared an exclusive tasting, where only one group of privileged we know the passage of time and what these wines in store for us as curious. The vintages to taste are: 1982,1983,1985,1991, 1993,1998,1999 and 2000.

text: I just want to start this by saying this probably won't be safe and definitely will not be a good unit. With that out of the way, let's get started. The united will be based on an old ac unit I got from a thrift store for 15$. It has a 1/3 hp rotary compressor and a decent sized condenser that I will be reusing for this build. Here is where the unit gets a little ghetto, the evaporator will be made out of a 2 inch offcut of 110 copper with a 2-inch diameter and the suction line is going to be made out of a manifold hose connected to a Schrader valve without the stem in it. I am going to use a cheap filter dryer off eBay and 0.031 cap tube. For gas, I am going to be using standard propane that will be run through a filter dryer as it is charged so it hopefully will get some of the moisture out

The Little Darlin'/Roxanna Firehall Football Jamboree, Part 4
by Man of Mystery Roxanna Firehall. For Parts 1—3 click here, here, and here.
Day 6
Leaving the Roaring Asphalt Campground and the defeated St. Louis Rams behind us, Little Darlin' and I headed back east towards Dayton. As usual, LD took the first shift and lead us through Illinois. Mysteriously, all of the crossovers and tight construction zones I encountered on the way out were cleaned up for the most part, and LD sailed through the Land of Lincoln.
I drew the Indiana leg. The road was not any smoother than on the trip out. The rough ride seemed to have shortened our tempers a bit. LD was navigating (not her best skill) and insisted I move from the middle lane to the right. I complied even though she had previously advised that the middle lane was best. We then had a short, intense discussion as to why this mildly urgent move was necessary in Indianapolis traffic. The discussion yielded no cogent answer. After apologizing several times in the face of my harumphs, LD tells me just move back to the center lane and I'll shut up. I complied knowing she would not. Read more

Pelts, heritage and YouTube: A day on a Labrador trapline
William Larkham Jr. grew up trapping animals; now uses the internet
William Larkham Jr. is standing at the entrance to a wooded area along his trapline, somewhere off the Trans-Labrador Highway. After checking a number of traps and coming up with nothing but a weasel, he finally spots what he's been after.
Before heading in, he breaks out a tool you don't often associate with the gear of a trapline: a GoPro camera.
"It's another large day here in the big land," says Larkham, who narrates the scene for an audience who will eventually see his exploits on the YouTube channel.
Larkham, 43, says he started his YouTube channel to get the word out about his beloved Labrador. It's been nine years since his first post.
One of the Happy Valley-Goose Bay man's goals is to explain what life is like on the land, particularly for someone who fishes, hunts and traps.
"We got a marten, thank goodness," he says. "A nice brown, probably a select pelt — that's an above-average marten. He'll do well in the auction."
A calling as much as a career
On this day, Larkham was checking his traps during one of his last runs of the year before marten trapping season ended on March 20.
"My main occupation is fishing, but you get a nice bonus some years from trapping," Larkham says. "Don't get me wrong, trapping is very difficult when the prices are low."
This year was not a down year for Larkham, who did well at a recent fur auction. A couple of his marten pelts were in a top lot and sold for nearly $400 each.
But Larkham says that for him and for many others, trapping is not about the money.
"A lot of trappers [say] if the pelts are a dollar, they'll still trap, because it's in your blood," Larkham said in an interview.
"You could haul 50 traps and not get ne'er a catch but before you approach the next trap you get excited because that could be the trap you got your catch in," he said. "There's always that anticipation that keeps your drive going."
Trapping viewers
Any one of Larkham's activities could show up on his channel. Some of his videos garner tens of thousands of views.
You can't just live the old lifestyle. It's got to be a blend of both.- William Larkham Jr.
"Trapping is always a big hit," Larkham said. "Sealing, sometimes for the wrong reason."
He started the YouTube channel to fill a void.
"At the time, there was nothing really coming out of Labrador," Larkham said. "I said, we got a hidden treasure and I want to share it to the world really."
Through his channel, he says, he's made friends all over the world.
"Some of them, I imagine we're going to meet down the road sometime," Larkham said.
"We look at each other's videos and share, comment and get ideas from each other as well."
Larkham, who is part Inuit, on his grandmother's side of the family, said cultural ties were strong for him growing up but he never realized their importance until he was older.
Now, he wants to share it with his children, including his five-year-old son.
"I want to see [him] take over the trapline when he gets older. I'll go along with him and teach him," Larkham said.
"I think the way it is with culture now, you can't just live the old lifestyle. It's got to be a blend of both."

Raptor Ridge
15 comments:
The first picture is something else – all that moss, it's beautiful. It reminds me of walking in the rain forest on Vancouver Island. And now I'll have a quote in my quote book from you: "The quality of our life is not measured in what tomorrow brings, but in what we do with today." –Djan.ReplyDelete
It is so lush and green - even with the cooler temps. Everything around us is brown. I am envious. Incredible scenery. That last tree is awesome. It is just remarkable that it is thriving like that.ReplyDelete
Those final words were inspiring to me! That first picture... WOW! I was awed! Raptor Ridge sounds like a place for Jurassic Park. That picture fit nicely. I would love to hike there!ReplyDelete
There are some gorges I like to hike here that have trees seemingly growing straight out of rock. It amazes me.
Love your Djan quote! your photos are wonderful, that first photo with all the moss was like a feast for my eyes!ReplyDelete
That tree..amazing isn't it..it is just growing where it was planted, or where the seed fell..we could learn from trees:)
You're making me envious, you know like walking along those moss covered trees, that was a something! I like the second photo with your arms outstretched, you often do that pose on your photos. And it shows that you are a very warm, sweet and loving person...why? With your arms outstretched, it seems that you always want to give hugs to everybody! Haha!ReplyDelete
you are just SO freakin awesome :)ReplyDelete
Absolutely brilliant pictures and post. Yes you are definitely awesome!ReplyDelete
D-Jan,I fully agree with your last sentence in this post.WOW! something to think about.Loved the pics,and it's wonderful that you enjoy life so much.....hope I can hike when I'm your age.You've got guts to look down from the ridge....eeeks!ReplyDelete
Yes! As you can likely tell from my Blogs, I am all about building for tomorrow and squeezing every drop of life I can get out of today. I'm so glad you've 'got' it. What a great spot you live in by the way!ReplyDelete
Wow, you caught up with them? Just shows how in shape you are!ReplyDelete
Those pictures are amazing. I love all the moss in the Pacific Northwest, and that tree growing out of the rock is really weird in a neat sort of way. Just goes to show, life will pop up when you least expect it.
The photos are totally amazing. And, I'm so glad to know that I am not the only one that envious. lol The country is beyond magnificent, and so are you to be able to catch up with everyone.ReplyDelete
Did I say the photos are marvelous? :D
What a great hike. And wonderful pictures. I know i couldn't keep up with you DJan!ReplyDelete
I loved the first picture and the one of the tree towards the end. They are somewhat magical.ReplyDelete
Your last words are so very true and a reminder to focus on the present.
I'm impressed with your determination and courageousness; it seems they were just the ticket. After all, I'd have hated to miss those pictures:)
Do you ever get tired of hearing me tell you how amazing and inspiring you are to me? I hate missing any of your posts and yet I do. Poor me.ReplyDelete
Love your your last sentence and couldn't agree with you more. The forest on your side of the state is always so green and lush, we don't see that kind of moss over here. Awesome photos, I would love to hike that area.ReplyDelete
I really appreciate your comments! If you see a word verification box here, just ignore it. I don't use the darn thing and Blogger is trying to get us to use it, I guess. Ignore it and your comment will still appear.

During an extremely hectic summer I was invited to perform in an all-female house band for a TV pilot for a brand new Chris Moyles TV series called Chris Moyles' Quiz Night. The night before I finished a gig in Preston at 1am, had to start the soundcheck at the London studios at 9am. We finished the show at 10pm and I had to be at the airport the next morning at 4am!
It was an extremely long day learning the parts, doing camera run-through rehearsals, dress rehearsals and the show with a live audience. I laughed the whole way through – it's a very funny show. The actual TV series then took place later in the year, and another 5 series after that over the next 4 years! Many thanks to Steve and Paul for everything! Here are some musical clips from the series:
L-R: Anna (guitar), Lisa (bass), Steve Sidwell (MD), Julie (perc), me, Chris Moyles, Claire (sax), Sophie (kit), Karen (trumpet) and Laura (keys).

Ian Anderson Caricature 1972 shown here backstage at the Tivoli Consertsal, Copenhagen, Denmark on January 15, 1972, age 25 with his band Jethro Tull.
Ian Scott Anderson is a Scottish musician, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work as the lead vocalist, flautist and acoustic guitarist of British rock band Jethro Tull. Anderson plays several other musical instruments, including keyboards, bass guitar, bouzouki, balalaika, saxophone, harmonica, and a variety of whistles.
Jethro Tull are a British rock band formed in Blackpool, Lancashire, in 1967. The band's name came from Jethro Tull, an eighteenth century English farmer who invented the 'seed drill', a piece of agricultural equipment that made it possible for agricultural production to become mechanical.
The group found success with progressive rock albums such as Aqualung (1971), Thick as a Brick (1972) and A Passion Play (1973), and shifted again to hard rock mixed with folk rock with Songs from the Wood (1977) and Heavy Horses (1978).
In 1970, Anderson abandoned his ambition to play electric guitar, allegedly because he felt he would never be "as good as Eric Clapton". He traded his electric guitar in for a flute which, after some weeks of practice, he found he could play fairly well in a rock and blues style.
Anderson is known for his famous one-legged flute stance, and was once referred to as a "deranged flamingo".
Jethro Tull hits: "Aqualung", "Thick As A Brick", "Locomotive Breath", "Songs From The Wood", "Living In The Past", "Cross-Eyed Mary", "Life's A Long Song", "Bungle In The Jungle", "Bouree", "My God", "Wond-ring Aloud", "Rocks On The Road" and "The Christmas Song".
Anderson married Shona Learoyd in 1976, and have two children: James Duncan Anderson, also a musician; and Gael, who works in the film industry and is married to actor Andrew Lincoln, star of the US TV drama series The Walking Dead.
All prints are produced using Giclee printing process which is used for archival art reproduction. This process uses fade-resistant archival pigment-based ink which lasts over 100 years. All prints are printed on 310GSM, Luxurious mould-made, 100% cotton rag Archival Certified watercolor paper.

The Republic of El Salvador is located in Central America and, with around 21 041 km² and its large population, is a small, very densely populated country. It borders Guatemala in the northwest, Honduras in the northeast, and the Pacific Ocean in the south. See El Salvador country abbreviation.
The coastal cordilleras run along the Pacific coast; there are about 20 volcanoes, some of which are still active. The highest mountain in the country is Cerro El Pital (2,730 m), which is located inland near the border with Honduras on a plateau from 400 to 1,000 m above sea level. The plateau is crossed by broad high valleys and was considered a preferred settlement area due to its fertile volcanic soils. The longest river in El Salvador is the R¨ªo Lempa, which rises in Guatemala and flows into the Pacific after around 140 km. The country's capital is San Salvador with 1.99 million residents (agglomeration).
Due to its geographical location, El Salvador is particularly prone to earthquakes: three continental plates meet on the Pacific coast offshore, the friction of which repeatedly causes earthquakes, such as 1986 and 2001, as 7.0 and 7.6 magnitude quakes on the Richter scale wreaked havoc in the country and claimed thousands of lives.
In El Salvador there is a tropical changing climate with a pronounced rainy season from May to October. Up to 2,000 mm are measured annually in the mountains, and between 1,000 and 1,500 mm in the valleys of the highlands. Temperatures are evenly high all year round. In San Salvador, which is 700 m above sea level, average temperatures of around 23 °C are measured in January and around 25 °C in July.
Flora and fauna
Much of the tree population in El Salvador was cut down to use the land for large monocultures or for settlement. Only about 5% of the country's area is still covered by forest. Mahogany and balsa trees and cedar play a role in the timber industry. A remnant of the original cloud forest (Montecristo) lies in the border triangle of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala in the north of the country and has been declared a nature reserve. The cloud forest begins at an altitude of approximately 2,100 m and is characterized by giant ferns, oaks, tall laurel trees, orchids, mushrooms and lichens.
There are only a few habitats left in El Salvador for larger wild mammals. In remote forest areas, anteaters, monkeys, skunks, ocelots and pumas can still be observed. The bird world, on the other hand, is rich in species, including various types of hummingbirds, parrots and the quetzal (the heraldic animal of Guatemala). For reasons of species protection, the Montecristo cloud forest is only accessible to visitors outside the breeding season.
Around 6.71 million people live in El Salvador, a good third of them below the poverty line. The originally indigenous Indians (most of the Pipil people) now only make up a small percentage of the population. 90% of the country's residents are mestizos, ie half-breeds between Europeans (mostly Spaniards) and Indians. Spanish is the national language and is spoken by the majority of the population, indigenous languages such as Nahua are only local.
According to COUNTRYAAH, 85% belong to the Roman Catholic faith, the name El Salvador means "The Redeemer" in Spanish. Overpopulation is a problem, although the trend is declining (population growth is 1.4%), because the country is already the most densely populated in Central America and has hardly any new living space to offer to the constantly growing population. A large part of the rural population, which had been displaced by the nationwide monocultures on land too small for their own use, migrated to the more industrially developed cities such as San Salvador or La Libertad. So far, these have not been able to adapt the housing situation, infrastructure and sanitary facilities to the rapidly growing population. The result is slums on the outskirts.
Although compulsory school attendance, literacy is only 80%, which is due in part to the twelve-year civil war (1979-91).
Political system
El Salvador is a presidential republic with a constitution of 1983. The head of state and head of government is the president (since June 2014 Salvador S¨¢nchez Cer¨¦n). He is elected by the people for five years (no re-election possible).
The unicameral parliament of the country (Asamblea Legislativa) has 84 seats, the members are directly elected by the people for three years. There is a compulsory choice from the age of 18.
The country is divided into 14 departments.
The economy is only slowly recovering from the aftermath of the long civil war, and there have been repeated natural disasters such as Hurrican "Mitch" in 1998 and the January 2001 earthquake that wreaked havoc. Over a third of the population lives below the poverty line. The official unemployment rate is 6%, but in reality around 40% unemployment and underemployment can be assumed. Foreign exchange from former residents of the country who now live abroad account for 18% of GDP.
In agriculture, coffee, sugar cane and cotton are mainly grown in large plantations for export. The export of shellfish (shrimp) also plays a role. Rice, cereals and beans are grown for personal use.
The industry produces foods and beverages, tobacco, chemical products (eg fertilizers) and textiles. Raw materials, capital and consumer goods are imported.
The United States is by far the top trading partner, both in terms of exports and imports. Other partners are Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico and Honduras.
Tourism plays almost no role in El Salvador.
In 2001, the government decided to peg the local currency (Col¨®n) to the US dollar and introduce it as a second currency to stimulate the country's stagnant economy. In the meantime, the US dollar has almost completely displaced the Colon.

A Brookings Institution article by Lex Rieffel and James Fox (Former Chief, Economic Growth Evaluation at USAID/Policy & Program) analyses aid effectiveness in Myanmar. "The transition in Myanmar that began two years ago — from a military to a quasi-civilian government — is the largest and most encouraging turnaround in the developing world in years."
They give significant credit to President Thein Sein and social activist Aung San Suu Kyi for collaborating to lift the country out of turmoil. Their three main obstacles or agendas were: ending the civil war, providing an institutional framework to increase the general standard of living, and sharing the wealth of the country's natural resources with the whole population.
When other countries saw the progress being made, then the World Bank, USAID, and more than 100 other aid agencies and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) started to offer rapid assistance to Myanmar. This time, the aid agencies and government officials are intent on making sure aid is delivered effectively. All donors have committed to adhere to the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, and all subsequent additions to it. And the Myanmar government held an all-donor meeting in January 2013, to get an agreement on ground rules for spending aid effectively.
However, here are five common ways aid can be ineffective:
• Senior government officials of Myanmar end up spending hours every day meeting with delegations from international NGO's and donor countries – not just their aid agencies but also their government representatives, corporations, media, and more. The endless meetings divert the attention of the local officials, not allowing them to formulate and implement actual progress.
• Each aid organization has its own pressure to "make a difference," to show results. For instance, USAID has allocated millions of dollars for their own agriculture sector projects, but only committed $600,000 to the multi-donor LIFT Fund – which is a more effective way of delivering aid.
• Local staff from financial institutions are overwhelmed by the donor organizations' need to "move the money." Pressure to distribute project funds is ever-present.
• Donors are often non-transparent as each competes to gain the most favorable position within a region.
• Host countries engage in "donor shopping" to get the most money for the least change.
So, for Myanmar, here are the three ways to make aid more effective:
• Slow down and do more collaborative operations. This act does not overwhelm local officials. Donors should help control the pace, and commit at least 30 percent of their funding to joint operations.
• Provide "scholarships for foreign study." It will take years for Myanmar to raise its standard of education to the level required for meeting its development objectives. The solution is education abroad, so the students can return home with knowledge to invest in the country. This form of aid also has the least potential for mis-use.
• "Be more innovative" – for instance "cash on delivery aid." This reinforces good management within the local government, minimizes the administrative burden of the rapid aid influx, and ensures that every dollar of aid goes to support successful projects.

I didn't have to go very far after arriving on my previous flight from Toronto because I was flying to SNA on the exact same aircraft! What are the chances?!
Boeing 737-800W
After boarding, I turned right into the First class cabin which was 4 rows of wide recliner seats in a 2-2 configuration. I was in seat 3F on this one. Now I went into great depth on this seat in my previous flight, so I'll just highlight the important parts again. The seat is very wide which is nice, however its hard which is not so nice.
The center console was big enough for you and your seatmate to store drinks.
There was also a remote on either side of the console.
There's also overhead air nozzles and lights which I greatly appreciate.
I'd say I also had a better view of the wing, even though the light was on here.
If it wasn't a coincidence enough to have the same plane as what I did on my last flight, the purser, Elan, was the exact same as well which was a pretty cool coincidence. He was great on the last flight which was under 2 hours, so now I was happy to have him on a flight longer than 4 hours.
He came around taking orders for pre-departure beverages as soon as all the first class passengers were seated and I went with sparkling water.
If I give United and other US carriers enough trouble for using plastic cups pre-departure, I have to at least give UA credit for offering a choice, unlike many other carriers that just give a few choices.
After Elan's pre-departure announcements, we pushed back and started up our engines. Soon enough we had a quick taxi to our departure runway.
We had a very long takeoff roll and an initially slow climb out of Chicago.
we climbed through a small cloud layer, and it was clear skies for the rest of the flight.
Shortly after the captain turned the seat belts signs off, he gave his welcome announcement and the crew got to work. Another crew member came around with hot towels.
A short while after this, Elan came around taking dinner orders for the flight. The choices were between the following:
- Ravioli with Asparagus
- Cider-glazed chicken
I went with the cider glazed chicken.
About 50 minutes into the flight, Elan came around with drinks and nuts that we wanted to start off with as well. I went with the usual sparkling water.
And, of all, he did all of this with a smile on his face. He was definitely happy to be there.
The nuts were mildly warm and was the standard affair of what UA served which is simply a mix of almonds and cashews.
Service was pretty slow across the board but I can't blame Elan. There was one of him serving 16 of us.
Dinner was served about an hour into the flight and the flow of service sped up once another crew member came from economy class to help.
The main course was honestly mediocre. The rice that was "seasoned" was quite bland and overcooked. The chicken was on the tougher side however it wasn't that bad for a chicken heated in the air. The chicken was also bland which was expected but even the "cider glaze" on top was bland.
The salad with the acai vinaigrette was actually quite nice. It was sweet & tangy, and mixed with the orange already in the salad made for a tasty combo.
Then there was UA's usual cheesecake affair. They never fail to disappoint with these things and today was any other day. It was tasty, sweet, crunch with the nuts, and had everything I wanted in a dessert.
The bread was lukewarm but too hard to eat.
Honestly, I wasn't too impressed or happy with the meal, but after all, it was basically just business as usual for what to expect on a domestic flight.
After dinner, Elan asked if I wanted anything else to which I just went with hot water. Overall, the food was just about ok, but the service was exceptional. Elan was hustling back and forth, proactively refilling everyone's drinks, making conversation in between, and doing everything you'd expect to have your flight be personalized even with a 1:16 crew/passenger ratio.
I went to use the bathroom after this, and it was standard as you'd expect.
After this, I crashed for the rest of the flight…..more easily than I had ever done before. I mean I think I've had the longest day of my life on this day. I started the day at 5 AM London time waiting on this flight for being late, then running to this flight, then running across terminals to this flight, and then to this one. By this time, I'd had nearly a 24 hour day.
But anyways, in the time I was sleeping, Elan cleared my tray and hot water glass. I woke up to the captain's descent announcement and as I looked out the window, I could see the LA basin starting to appear.
We had a smooth touchdown on runway 20R and a quick taxi to our gate next to an Alaska 737.
Well, this was just another example of what you'd expect on a UA flight. The seats were ok, the food was ok, the flight was ok. but Elan the purser made the flight better than what it should've been. So thank you to Elan for making the flight enjoyable and allowing a relaxing finish to this misfortune-driven return journey. Will I fly UA again in domestic first? Probably at some point, but it will always be the same average product that it has been and nothing will change that. It would certainly help to have a widebody on a domestic route, but whatever there is.
Thanks again for following along another fun trip and hope you enjoyed this last one for a while. Hope to see you all back for the next major trip, whenever that may be, besides trips in between here and there. In the meantime, take care and cheers!

Disclose your Scope 3 emissions, you cowards – TechCrunch
If you want the inside scoop on which companies are serious about addressing their carbon emissions and which aren't, take a look at the public comments submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding its proposed climate rule.
You can tell if a company is serious by its stance on so-called Scope 3 emissions. Depending on the business, Scope 3 emissions might make up a significant majority of a company's carbon footprint. Such emissions can result from activities and assets a company doesn't own or control, like leased office space, business travel or end-of-life processing of their products. They also might occur when customers use their products, like when someone drives their gas-powered SUV.
In short, if your company is serious about doing something about climate change, it should probably be estimating its Scope 3 emissions. If it's making noise about being sustainable, at the very least it probably shouldn't undermine attempts to make Scope 3 disclosures standard.
TechCrunch+ is having an Independence Day sale! Save 50% on an annual subscription here. (More on TechCrunch+ here if you need it!)
Which is why the comments on the SEC's site make for some interesting reading. Companies ranging from Walmart and BlackRock to Fidelity, Gap, ExxonMobil and Southwest Airlines have made it clear that they'd rather not disclose their Scope 3 emissions, even with the safe harbor provisions the SEC is offering to limit liability. Those companies are effectively saying that they don't take climate change seriously enough to fully understand — and disclose — their own impact on it.
There are many, many more companies that I'm not covering here that take a similar stance. So why am I singling these out? Walmart because it's the world's largest retailer. BlackRock and Fidelity because they're the first- and third-largest asset managers. ExxonMobil because it's the largest non-government-owned oil company. Gap because the company claims it "feel[s] an ethical responsibility to align our goals and strategies with the best science and industry practices," according to its own climate values page. And Southwest because it is among the largest airlines in the U.S., no matter which measure you use.
Demur and delay
The arguments against disclosing Scope 3 data generally fall into three buckets: Companies complain that the data is too unreliable or uncertain, that it's too hard to obtain or that it'll expose them to lawsuits.
The first smells like a classic FUD campaign — fear, uncertainty and doubt. Cynthia Lo Bessette, Fidelity's chief legal officer, told the SEC that Scope 3 data is "speculative, nascent, unreliable, and there are no current standards to ensure consistent and comparable data."

LAHORE: Pakistanis are queuing for hours to grab coffee and pastries from Canadian chain Tim Hortons, which opened its first outlet in the South Asian country this week just as its economic crisis took a turn for the worse.
In less than a month, Pakistan rupee has lost more than a quarter of its value against the US dollar, and fuel prices have risen by almost a fifth as the government implemented fiscal measures that are prerequisite to unlocking funds from an International Monetary Fund bailout.
Inflation in January spiked to 27% year-on-year, the highest in more than a decade, and the government only has enough foreign reserves to pay for just over three weeks of imports.
All that hasn't stopped scores of Pakistanis from thronging to the cafe since it opened on Saturday at an upmarket Lahore shopping mall.
Tim Hortons is owned by Restaurant Brands International Inc (RBI), a Toronto-based company that also owns other fast food brands including Burger King and Popeyes.
"Higher prices don't really matter for the class of people coming here," Ahmad Javed, a medical student who used to go to Tim Hortons while he was living in Canada, told Reuters as he queued up.
"Rich people in Pakistan are getting richer, the poor are becoming poorer while the middle class is struggling."
According to its online menu, a small brewed coffee costs 350 rupees ($1.30), while a large flavoured coffee is twice as much. By comparison, the average government-mandated minimum wage is 25,000 rupees ($94) a month.
With a population of more than 230 million and a $350-billion economy, Pakistan remains a growth market for fast-food companies.
Tim Hortons is set to open another two outlets in Lahore, RBI said in a statement. Pakistani firm Blue Foods operates the franchise. Both companies declined to give any details about the outlet's sales in the opening week.
For students such as Pareeshay Khan, the brand's social media traction trumps the cost of the coffee. "I'm here to taste the coffee that's the top social media trend. I don't know about the price, nor do I care."

Natural Gas Emissions Will Blow Europe's Carbon Budget at Current LevelsSocial Invesment Indonesia
Governments have been underestimating methane emissions from gas and must phase out the fossil fuel, along with coal and oil, by 2035 to keep within Paris climate targets, a major study shows
Governments have drastically underestimated methane emissions from natural gas and will miss the Paris agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 2C unless they urgently scale down its use, a major new study has found.
Continuing natural gas emissions at present levels will add 0.6C to global warming and, with other fossil fuel use, exhaust Europe's carbon budget – the amount it can safely and fairly emit – in less than a decade, says the report by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.
It concludes that Europe must phase out all fossil fuels including gas by 2035 and decrease emissions by 12% per year – far beyond its current ambitions – to keep to the Paris 2C pledge.
EU countries, including the UK, have committed to burn more natural gas as a "bridging fuel", because it offers a baseline alternative to wind and solar on cloudy and windless days, and because it emits less carbon dioxide than coal.
But the report's authors find that there is "categorically no role" for new gas, oil or coal production, because of their high CO2 and methane emissions.
"Considering both carbon dioxide and methane emissions, an urgent programme to phase out existing natural gas and other fossil fuel use across the EU is an imperative of any scientifically informed and equity-based policies designed to deliver on the Paris agreement," says the study, which was co-written by Tyndall's Prof Kevin Anderson and Dr John Broderick.
Their report, which is based on original modelling and a meta-analysis of 250 gas supply chain studies, logs a "sustained rise" since 2006 in atmospheric methane concentrations. These are now "at the top end of IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) scenarios" and running at unsustainable levels, according to the study.
Far from phasing out natural gas ventures though, the EU appears to be accelerating them in a new "projects of common interest" (PCI) list for gas infrastructure.
After 77 gas projects were approved in the last PCI round, the latest slate (pdf) could potentially approve more than 100 gas ventures for public funding and fast-tracked planning approval, according to analysis by Friends of the Earth Europe (FoEE).
The projects were evaluated on the basis of forecasts by the European network of transmission systems operators for gas, a coalition of gas companies and their subsidiaries.
In 2016, Europe's gas industry spent more than €100m (£89m) and employed more than 1,000 lobbyists in an effort to promote gas as a relatively clean fossil fuel, according to a report published last week.
Antoine Simon, an FoEE spokesman said: "It is intolerable to see the European commission and its members giving support to an increasing number of gas projects that will lock us in to decades of fossil fuel addiction. As the UN reminded us last week, we are currently paving the way to a 3C temperature rise. Facing the prospect of being 'toasted, roasted and grilled', it is unconscionable that the EU is turning its back on the urgent climate action needed to remedy this situation."
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, about 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide, that may still push global warming past "tipping points" beyond which it becomes irreversible.
It exists naturally in water-borne micro-organisms, agriculture and methane hydrates – some already thawing as the climate warms – and is produced in bulk by measured gas emissions, and non-measured leaks.
Uncertainties remain about the exact attribution of atmospheric methane, but recent studies estimate that anthropogenic sources caused between 48-65%, with fossil fuels accounting for about a third of the total.
"Extracting and burning natural gas produces substantial quantities of methane and carbon dioxide which warm the climate in different ways," Broderick said. "We need to rapidly reduce emissions of both of these gases to prevent dangerous climate change, not one or the other."

The Biblioteca Parque Espana is a library located in Medellin, Colombia constructed in 2007.
It's erected along the hillside overlooking the valley of the city. The Colombian architect who designed this library, Giancarlo Mazzanti, hoped to create a structure that would reflect the nature of the surrounding environment.
Clearly, he was able to create a building that resembles giant rocks. From afar, the library looks as if it was part of the topography of the landscape, incorporating the building into the environment.

A Day of Music, Dance, Family-Friendly Activities and Hands-on Workshops Celebrates Green Living
Five Uprooted Dance dancers will do four performances of Keira Hart-Mendoza's "The Legacy Project: Our Lives of Consumption and Waste" during GreenFest."
Thirteen Montgomery County groups have joined forces to create the fifth annual GreenFest 2019, "where the county comes together, learns together and takes action together." The county's largest environmental event is packed with music and dance performances as well as family-friendly activities and hands-on workshops.
Planners – aka the Green Team — expect 4,000 visitors, twice last year's attendance, on Sunday, April 28, at the event's new venue — amid the trails, themed formal gardens and conservatories of Wheaton Regional Park's Brookside Gardens.
"Each year, we look to improve upon the experience for the attendees, yet still connect them to ways they can move from awareness to action and live a more green, sustainable life to improve our planet and our local environment," explained Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) planner Ryan Zerbe, who believes he has "been around the longest of the [organizing] committee members."
"Technically," said Zerbe, Silver Spring Green founded the festival in partnership with Fenton Street Market and the DEP; it was held in 2012 in the Silver Spring Civic Building and Veterans Plaza. "The event started out as a way to promote green living in the Silver Spring community and educating participants on local solutions, sustainability and climate change," he added.
Recognizing the similarities between WSSC's H2OFest and DEP's Clean Water Summit, the three events were combined to produce the H2O Summit in 2013. Then, "in 2014, organizers noticed they could speak to an even larger audience by expanding the Silver Spring GreenFest countywide and adding the H2O Summit to create what we know as the Montgomery County GreenFest in its 'official' fifth year," Zerbe said.
For 2019, Zerbe said, organizers "felt that combining resources once again might be helpful" and joined forces with Brookside Gardens' annual Earth Day event. In addition to 80 green exhibitors and vendors, drum circles, an electric vehicle car show, tree climbing and other children's activities, learning activities in the Brookside Nature Center and workshops in its Visitors Center, the schedule features live musical performances by Bach to Rock, Ocho de Bastos and Andrew Kutt.

"The Legacy Project: Our Lives of Consumption and Waste," a creation of choreographer Keira Hart-Mendoza, artistic and managing director of Uprooted Dance, premiered at last year's GreenFest held in Silver Spring's Jessup Blair Park. The project, initiated in 2017, combines an art installation and dance performances. Both highlight the enormous amount of waste the average individual produces and puts that into the context of the global pollution crisis.
"The first year was a deep-dive research based study and reflection of my own habits, while simultaneously reading literature and current event articles on sustainability," Hart-Mendoza said.
She proceeded to inventory her own trash. "I was really curious just to see how much and what kinds of stuff I was both consuming and then discarding. The most eye-opening realization was that 90 percent of my waste was food-related," she said. "The 'permanent' remnants of our food purchases were all around me!"
"With all our newfound knowledge" from becoming "active observers of our consumption and waste habits" as well as a county workshop on recycling, Hart-Mendoza and her then-eight dancers, she said, "we started generating movement and dance material based around the different themes that were arising." They included "Marie Antoinette as a symbol of waste, trash in our oceans, mass production of plastics, challenge in cleaning up our messes and being hindered by our own trash." The result was a 25-minute piece presented at the 2018 GreenFest. "We used all my own trash to make costumes for the dancers and a set design."
For this year, Hart-Mendoza adjusted the project. "I wanted to focus more directly on our plastic waste," she said. Accordingly, Brookside Gardens agreed to accommodate her installation for the whole month of April instead of just one day. She resumed saving her trash and composting food scraps and yard trimmings, and along with collaborator, costume designer and wig maker Margie Jervis – Hart-Mendoza calls her a magician — and Brookside horticulturist Ellen Hartranft, chose Brookside sites for the installation.
"In the Conservatory, we used almost all plastic bags to construct a life-sized Marie Antoinette sculpture. Her dress 'blends in with her surroundings,' in that we used green Washington Post bags and grocery/veggie bags," said Hart-Mendoza. "We wanted to show that although she looks 'good in that site,' nothing about her is natural or authentic. Her home (aka the plastics home) is not meant to be embedded within nature, but oftentimes, this is where we find a lot of trash washed up or discarded."
In the Perennial Gardens, she added, "we are riffing off the song '99 Bottles of Beer,' but instead of beer, we're referring to plastic bottles of all shapes and sizes… and instead of 99, one million plastic bottles are purchased every single minute globally!"

Amid the installations, five Uprooted Dance dancers will perform Hart-Mendoza's choreography, this year split into two separate works. "Some aspects are similar to last year's performance, and some sections are new," Hart-Mendoza said. "Due to the large volume of attendees expected this year, Brookside suggested we create two separate performances and pause between the dances so audience members could move locations with enough time." (11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the Perennial Gardens; 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the Wedding Gazebo)
Hart-Mendoza used "a wide variety of music, some of it very 'tongue in cheek.'" For example, she said, "in our Plastic Beach/Ocean scene, we use 'The Girl from Ipanema' by Frank Sinatra and "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini' by Brian Hyland. We also use a drum piece by Steve Reich.
"For the piece performed at the Wedding Gazebo, the music is both Baroque and modern because it's our Marie Antoinette section. So, we use 'The Bells of St. Genevieve' by Marin Marais and then some more contemporary instrumental music by a group called Unkle Ho."
Along with the plethora of performances and activities at GreenFest, Hart-Mendoza's installation and choreography represent a fundamental message of the event: "Simple changes in consumption habits can impact how much waste we create."
The 2019 GreenFest is set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 28 – rain or shine — at Brookside Gardens, 1800 Glenallan Ave., Wheaton. Admission is free. Brookside will have handicap-only parking on site; festival-goers can park – also free — at the Glenmont Metro Station where complimentary shuttle service will be provided to and from the event.

On the south east coast of Australia between Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra lies town famous for its fishing. A real day tripper delight for boaters – don't forget your 4WD.
Tucked away in far eastern Victoria. Roughly halfway between Melbourne and Sydney, Mallacoota is just three hours from Canberra. Follow the Princes Highway and turn off at Genoa for a short drive through coastal bushland to the township.
Two large estuarine lakes linked by the aptly named Narrows dominate Mallacoota. Surrounded by natural bushland and fed by two major rivers, the area is very scenic.
Mallacoota is famous for its fishing, especially its dusky flathead, which are renowned as some of the biggest in the country and can grow to 10kg.
There is also some sensational bream spinning, and further upstream you can find estuary perch.
There is a boat ramp for access to the prolific offshore grounds at Bastion Point, but it is subject to surges and definitely 4WD only. If you can launch here, then the offshore potential in the area is huge, with gummy sharks, snapper and flathead all in abundance close to the ramp. With deep water close by, Mallacoota is one of the few places where you can catch marlin in Victoria.
For those who want to explore a bit further, there is Gabo Island, which is 13km to the east and features a lighthouse built in 1862. It is even possible to stay in the lighthouse keeper's quarters.
Mallacoota itself is a very small town, with just more than 1000 locals. Farming, commercial abalone diving and tourism are its main industries. Though it's a year-round holiday proposition, spring, summer and autumn are the best times to visit this quiet coastal community.
