The Noodle Caboodle: Our Yamashita Ramen Encounter
|wouldv'e pointed my phone cam to the wooden sign at the top of the place, if it weren't for the rain
LEONARD WOOD ROAD, BAGUIO CITY: After running an errand on a rainy Tuesday morning, my son and I decided to treat ourselves to some grub. In an area where there are lots of restaurants along the road, we power walked ourselves from the LTO compound, all the way to Corfu Village, in the hopes that the latest (early 2014) Japanese Restaurant in the city was already open: Yamashita Japanese Restaurant.
Finding the place wasn't hard. It's a hole-in-the-wall type of place, right beside the 50's Diner. We've heard from both family and friends that the ramen in the place is simply the bomb. Afternoons and evenings are never a good time to visit (whenever we pass by), as it seems that the place is always packed, so we've never sampled their wares.
Arriving at 930 in the AM, we were, staff excluded, the only people there.
The place is pretty cramped, but neat. It's got a bar/counter where one can sit, order and eat/drink, then be on their merry way. Nothing fancy - lanterns and a handful of potted plants plus menu pictures dot the area. It's not a date place or a place to socialize for long periods of time, but to get your gastronomic needs in order. A Yankees - Tigers game was showing on the TV at the far end of the bar, with a local radio station, playing tunes in the background.
The menu is simple, straightforward and priced reasonably. Portions come in small or large, with a good variation of food types. (SEE MENU as you scroll BELOW).
|other ramen varieties (not on the menu)
|sushi service starts at around 11 am
|didn't get to try these
|...or these either
The verdict:
The presentation was what I expected from a Japanese owned joint, it was aesthetically pleasing and not sloppily put together.
|Spicy Ramen
|Cold Ramen
|here's to our next food review together Kuya :)
From TMW, may all your wanderings be better than ours!

Professional Negligence Claims Against Accountants Scotland
If you run a business or are self-employed, you will likely rely on the expertise of an accountant for advice and services relating to your finances. Accountants hold themselves out as having the skills and experience to ensure that your financial matters are in order and performing well. Sometimes, though, an accountant can end up costing you money where they fail to properly handle your affairs, and this can have a significant impact on your business. If you have suffered loss as a result of an accountant's negligence, contact the specialist professional negligence claim solicitors at Jones Whyte Law today and we can help you obtain the compensation you are due.
When can I Bring a Claim Against an Accountant?
While most qualified accountants will provide a good service, sometimes mistakes, which could have been avoided, happen. Our solicitors have helped clients in a number of cases like this, including where accountants have failed to correctly calculate the figures, have encouraged the involvement in tax loophole schemes that HMRC has ruled illegal, or have negligently provided advice in relation to a client's financial affairs, which causes them to lose money. Where any of these issues have arisen, the team at Jones Whyte can assist with your compensation claim. We have an excellent track record in achieving the maximum financial award available in professional negligence actions.
For a successful claim, we will need to establish the facts of what happened, the duty your accountant owed you, how they breached the duty and the fact that that breach of duty caused you financial loss. We will guide you throughout your claim, so you know what is happening and when, and can consult our network of professionals for expert evidence to strengthen your case.
No-Win, No-Fee Solicitors in Glasgow, Scotland
Professional negligence claims can be lengthy and costs can soon mount up. That is why, at Jones Whyte, we offer bespoke no-win, no-fee agreements to our clients to ease the financial burden of pursuing compensation.
Contact Professional Negligence Solicitors in Glasgow, Scotland Today
The solicitors at Jones Whyte have an in-depth and up-to-date understanding of the responsibilities of accountants and what they should reasonably be doing in the course of their work. If you believe you have suffered loss as a result of your accountant's negligent actions, please contact our team to find out if you have a valid claim for compensation. We will only ever take on a case that we believe has a good chance of success.
The team at Jones Whyte specialise in professional negligence claims and you can rely on our expertise and dedication to give you the best prospects of successfully pursuing compensation.

I want to establish a starting point for this blog, so these 'Rewind' posts set the scene.
* Part 1
* Part 2
* Part 3
* Part 4
* Part 5
OK, so about 2 years ago, my recent building work was well under way, the bigger 'construction' part was complete, we were at the first-fix stage.
This has been an opportunity to apply some modern thinking (within the cost constraints we set ourselves).
I had opted to use good quality wall / floor and ceiling insulations that exceeded Local building control guidance.
(I would want to measure any benefit)
We of course needed electricity for various appliances in the reworked rooms, but I also considered that many appliances we currently use/needed are lower voltage DC equipment. I added a separate 12v DC circuit that could be used in the future when connected to Solar PV (for now connected to a transformer from the AC mains. The only immediate use would be for phone charging points so I installed some 5v USB wall sockets, on this DC circuit with the relevant regulators and left blanking plates for the 12v points.
My main concern was the ability to record the effects of these changes on our energy use.
Sure – if my bills go down, I am saving (am I not!) – why record then…..
Well, prices for electricity/gas/water go up and down, as does your usage. You need the 'usage' data to work out if you have made savings, and what the effect of those savings have been and possibly could be in the future – regardless of the amount you get billed….your usage on those bills may not be granular enough for you to have an understanding of what is causing usage.
Hence my previous post about the CurrentCost devices as they gather data very regularly, and I can annotate the data where obvious things have happened, like when I ran a Jack Hammer over the weekend to break up old foundations (I can smooth this aspect out of my usage trends so it does not skew my overall results).
On a related note (to insulation):
If you/your house gets cold, you heat it up, this increases your energy use. If you have a good central heating system 'it' decides that it should supply heat until a point where its warm 'enough' and turns the heat off. The problem is that in the UK at least, most houses that are 'mainly' centrally heated, use radiators in each room. These radiators get heated by hot water from a 'boiler' and radiate the heat into the room they are in. Valves are used to attempt to regulate this heat so that some radiators can be turned down/off in unused rooms and some turned on/up in often occupied rooms.
Most new houses (of which ours is not) are fitted with semi-autonomous temperature regulated valves, these work to a degree (when they are new) but can be very 'erratic' in how they actually regulate this temperature. Anyhow – the nett effect is that in a lot of houses the 'thermostat' is constantly changed by the house inhabitants to fit their needs as it does not offer the control they are looking for when combined with the radiators they use.
This is often caused by an incorrect heating setup….my next target – but I wanted to measure any results.
I needed to go a step further than gather my usage information. I needed some environmental data. Internal room temperature of the main rooms seemed a minimum, outside temp was also important.
My search for a cost effective environmental monitoring system began.
Time is moving on in this set of catchup posts. The next post picks up another 6 months on.

Zero no Tsukaima:Volume14 Chapter8
Chapter 8: The Steel Tiger[edit]
"Those guys... taking their time, so slow... what are they doing?!"
It was the Inn Street of Tiger's Highway. In that emptied place, Sheffield ordered the Jörmungandr to stay alert.
She placed a light blue monocle, a magical tool, in front of her eye. Every Jörmungandr's vision was shown through that monocle. Using that tool, Sheffield could manipulate ten Jörmungandr as swift as if she was using her arms.
An hour already passed since the landing. Romalia put up quite a bit of a fight; hence, all of the Jörmungandr's ammunition was depleted.
To effectively eliminate the Romalians, only using the "swords" they carried was not enough. Even though the Jörmungandr had "reflection spells" cast upon them, enemy attacks still could not be completely deflected.
If the attacks continued for a while, ultimately the "reflection spells" would fail.
To cease the firing of enemy guns and magic, long ranged weaponry was definitely needed for the immense golems.
Resupplies of ammunition were supposed to be parachuted down from Gallian ships.
Incidentally, the guns that started firing not long ago from Romalia's ships still hadn't stopped shooting yet. Despite Gallia's obvious advantage of having two fleets, one third of the ships had rioted and refused to engage.
In the end, the disorganized Gallian fleets accepted the showers of cannonballs with open arms. Even though the Jörmungandr needed more ammunition, resupplies never came.
If the supplies did not arrive soon, Gallia would be in quite a bit of trouble.
However, lack of ammunition was not the only problem. "Wind stones" were also needed. With the elves' assistance, Gallia manufactured those stones since they were the power source for Jörmungandr. In other words, the "wind stones" were required for the Jörmungandr to swiftly swing their beefy armored arms. If those stones were used up, Jörmungandr could hardly even move an inch.
So, if that continued, no matter how powerful those armored golems were, they would not escape the fate of becoming big useless lumps of metal. After an intense battle with the Romalian forces, the consumption of wind stones was sky high. Though Romalia's armies suffered great losses themselves as well, the fact that the Gallia's side lacked supplies was still nothing to be happy about.
Because the mission was not just to make them suffer, but to eradicate them all.
If that could not be achieved, then burning Romalia into ashes seemed like a complete joke. Since Joseph expected Romalia to be incinerated, Sheffield would not hesitate to do so.
With the aid of the Jörmungandr, Romalian armies dispersed across the country are no more than sitting ducks. That's what she thought.
However, Romalia focused all of its troops to the two countries' border.
Even so, she still needed to accomplish her task. If she did not, there would be no value for her existence anymore.
In the field of vision of a distressed Sheffield, a ship broke off from the enemy fleets and flew towards her, most likely to survey the Jörmungandr from above.
Sheffield's crimson red lips twisted into a sinister smile.
She waited for the ship to sail just a bit closer.
When the enemy ship was around a hundred mails above ground, Sheffield ordered two Jörmungandr to join hands and crouch.
Another Jörmungandr stepped on their hands, and the two flung him up into the air.
The Jörmungandr leapt into the air, climbed onto the survey ship like a spider. They never would have dreamt of such a large golem to be capable of 'leaping'.
For a ship that was completely filled out with guns and cannonballs, withstanding the weight of a Jörmungandr was absolutely unreasonable. Subsequently, it fell down from the sky. As soon as it crashed on the ground, ten starving Jörmungandr ripped the ship into pieces, searching for precious wind stones.
As if eating peas, the stolen wind stones were all crammed into their mouths.
Afterwards, they took the cannons from the ship. They also stuffed cannonballs and gun powder into their pockets. Sheffield smiled at them lovingly.
"Incredible. That golem actually flew into the air and brought down an entire ship."
Reinard sighed.
The Ondine Water Spirit Knights, waiting in Bella's underground cavern, watched all of this happen. Holes were created just large enough so that the knights could pop out their heads. Of course, their heads were covered by their capes, along with some soil on top.
What a well planned disguise!
Through the small cracks, the boys peeked at the situation for almost thirty minutes.
Their job was to "lead the enemies to Louise who is waiting at the entrance". In reality, they had no idea how to commence it.
Guiche frowned and corrected Reinard.
"That is not just any golem. I remember seeing one similar to it back in Albion."
"Was it powerful?"
"Magic is ineffective. It seems that those monsters have some strange elven spell cast on them. The only thing that works against them is Louise's magic."
The teens' faces instantly became sickening green.
"Then what do we do?"
Guiche was irritated. If they attacked without a well thought-out plan, they would probably end up torn into shreds from either the gigantic cannons or the frightening swords. Magic didn't work on them either.
"If we keep waiting, eventually these monsters will head to Louise, I guess?"
Gimili pointed out.
"No.... they'll probably take another path."
"There are cliffs left and right. How is there another path?"
"With their agility, can't they climb over the cliffs? Besides, those guys obviously know that the Romalian army has the entrance surrounded. They aren't idiots. They're probably waiting for assistance from the fleet. Once the fleet assists them, they'll attack directly to get through our defense."
Reinard gave his point of view. Guiche nodded in agreement.
"True. On the other hand, if they can't wait for assistance..."
"If it was a normal commander, he would choose to go around, or wait until the fleet ends its battle. What will our opponent choose to do?"
Malicorne used a 'distant-viewing' spell and observed the sky. With this spell, he understood that the war was going on slowly. They did not look like they wanted to win at all. From a distance, it looked like the battle might actually continue for another decade or so.
"It doesn't look like any side would win."
Reinard was right on target. The armored golems, using their fingerlike nails, stabbed their chubby fingers into the strong walls and started climbing. They looked like they planned to travel along the mountain range and attack from the army's side.
"The cliffs are over 200 mails tall! These things really plan to climb up?"
"Looks like they're serious. And with such hand coordination.... they look just like acrobats at the circus."
Many Jörmungandr climbed slowly, seemingly enjoying themselves. The spread out Romalian army pointed all their guns at the entrance. If flanked from both sides, they would definitely fall into chaos, and Louise's plan would fail horribly.
"It looks like we have no choice. Better draw their attention now."
Guiche kissed Verdandi beside him. Because he looked so serious, the teens all covered their dried mouths. Kissing a mole wasn't really a romantic scene at all.
"If I unfortunately die, Verdandi, take this to Montmorency. Do you get it?"
Cutting off a part of his hair, Guiche handed it to Verdandi. Like saying "no, no", Verdandi shook her head with watery eyes.
"Leave me smiling. I am a noble."
With this scene in sight, the teens all gave their familiar parts of their hair and conveyed their last messages to their family and loved ones.
"Reinard, tell me your plan."
Guiche declared without flinching.
"Plan? What are you talking about? All we can do is use magic to attract their attention, then fly away using levitation. If they're willing to listen to us and watch our show, then that's more than enough to please me."
"Sweet. Let's go."
Guiche leaped out of his hole and waved his rose, creating golems. The boys all casted their respective magic spells.
The armored Golems that were climbing up were bombarded by magic-made explosions, but remained entirely unhurt. The Jörmungandr turned their heads without hurrying.
"Idiots! We're down here!"
Guiche kept trembling with fear, yet never stopped yelling at them. Two Jörmungandr slid down swiftly, firing their big guns.
"Wind magic."
The wind mages of the cavalry had already casted a magic barrier protecting them, beautifully blocking the giant shells and reflecting them away harmlessly.
Guiche and the others cast their spells separately, provoking the enemy. Guiche's copper Golems, as if teasing the enemy, stood in front of them while making all sorts of weird signs and movements.
"Hey! You God-abandoned Gallian bastards! We've been sent here to have fun with you! Come on at us!"
The two Jörmungandr, wielding swords of unprecedented size, walked towards them, making cranking noises with each step.
"They've taken the bait! They've taken the bait!"
"Everyone, retreat!"
Guiche and the rest cast levitation and began to flee. Flying in the air was apparently much faster than the Jörmungandr's walking; therefore escape might actually be available...
"Watch your speed! Don't go too fast or they might give up chasing us!"
The armored golems would occasionally stop and fire their guns. The shells were all grape shots; these shells released multiple smaller artilleries when fired.
Though hitting aerial targets was difficult for the Jörmungandr, Guiche and his fellow knights were still made out of flesh and blood, so the grape shots were definitely not a good thing for them.
Guiche's shoulder was hit, pouring fresh blood out immediately.
"Guiche! Are you alright?"
"....Ugh, fine. Everyone! Keep flying! Fly towards our bright future!"
Guiche pointed at the blurry exit at a distance.
"I finally found you."
Sheffield was like an anxious little girl in love, seeping out happy cries. That young teen controlling the copper golems.... wasn't he one of those at Albion, along with that naïve Tristain girl? If that's the case, the direction where they're escaping must lead to that Tristain girl as well, right?
Most likely, that arrogant Gandálfr will be there too, protecting her. This is not a time to attack from the shadows.
"I will – including you little girl – kill tens of thousands of army troops. That Gandálfr kid may have stopped an army of 70,000.... but if it were me, the enemy would have been simply crushed like ants. "
The Jörmungandr ran as if they were flying. They would never lose to any type of enemy, unless they were fighting themselves.
Riding on the shaky shoulders of a Jörmungandr, Sheffield thought to herself :Why is it that I, having the greatest power of all familiars, always return home in defeat?
In Albion and Tristain, that puny girl and her familiar made her fail so many times.
Is it the difference between couples?
Between herself and Joseph, there was never much of a couple-like emotion. She only blindly followed his orders. She knew this perfectly, and was perfectly fine about it too.
However, their relationship was falling apart. Sheffield would never admit it, but jealousy burned in her heart. She was jealous of the wonderful relationship between Louise and Saito.
Even though Sheffield was the familiar of a void user, just like Saito, Joseph only considered her a tool, completely forgetting about love.
That was certainly a fact, something Sheffield understood in that garden blooming of blue roses.
From that point onwards, Sheffield fueled on jealousy secretly.
The inscription of "Myoznitnirn" on her forehead emitted an eye piercing blue light.
"This time, I'll definitely let you die without your limbs, your ashes scattered across Halkeginia."
As events played out, Sheffield no longer cared about whether or not she could incinerate Romalia. All she wanted to do was to rip those two apart.
Then... Joseph would also.... with me....
Sheffield's lips trembled, mesmerized with her own imagination. The Mind of God Myoznitnirn closed the distance between her and the Ondine knights little by little.
"It's already been an hour.... what have the kids been doing? Did they escape from fear?"
Carlo stated his thoughts. Louise's void spell finished being chanted a long time ago. What she had prepared was the same spell she used in Albion to shatter the Jörmungandr to pieces, "explosion".
At the other side of Canyon Street, yelling was heard.
Louise squinted her eyes.
Several dots were heading towards her way in midair. It was the Ondine Water Spirit Knights fleeing for their lives using their levitation magic. Behind them were two Jörmungandr, determined to destroy them.
"Louise! You do the rest!"
The boys zipped past her at an incredible speed.
As soon as the Jörmungandr saw Louise waiting patiently a few hundred meters away, they began firing their guns.
But it was too late.
Louise had already aimed at the two Jörmungandr hunting down the Ondine Knights and unleashed the finished "explosion". A tiny beam of white light shone right in front of the Jörmungandr's eyes and expanded, consuming both monsters.
Carlo laughed. Yet in the next moment, his smile turned into a twisted face of fear. After the bright light has dispersed, the Jörmungandr were still standing there, dumbfounded of course, but obviously unhurt.
"Not even a scratch…?"
Louise stared back at them, equally dumbfounded.
In the battle at Albion, "explosion" proved to work effectively against them.
On one Jörmungandr's upper body, something shaped like a mouth opened up. Sheffield's voice boomed loudly from inside.
"Long time no see, void user of Tristain! I've been looking forward to this conversation."
"What a pity just now! Elven technology is capable of imprinting defensive mechanisms within the armor itself. Although the superficial defense was disintegrated by 'void', the power from the remaining fragments weren't enough to go through the armor."
She sounded cheerful.
Carlo, who in charge of keeping Louise safe, shrieked out of pure fear and abandoned his position. The rest of the Crusaders followed Carlo. In a blink of an eye, there was no one surrounding Louise anymore, leaving her in the open.
From behind, Guiche called out
"Louise! Run!"
Yet, Louise's legs did not move at all.
"I.... I am a saint! How could I retreat from the battlefield?!"
Having fun with their prey, the Jörmungandr paced slowly forward, taking all the time in the world.
"Protect her! Cover Louise!"
All sorts of incantations were directed at the Jörmungandr. Despite their defense magic already being completely shattered, the elven upgrades on the armor was indeed extremely sturdy.
Not only icebolts, fireballs and that sort, even alchemy attacks were futile against them.
Louise prepared to chant again. If once was not enough, then she would keep doing it until it was.
No matter how dangerous the situation appears to be, never give up. By following that rule, she was able to solve all the crises she faced and live until this very day, she thought.
Winds began blaring, just as Jörmungandr swung their gigantic swords. BANG! The ground in front of where Louise was just now, was impacted so forcefully that large cracks formed. The immense pressure caused by the winds due to the swinging of the swords pushed Louise back.
Letting go her wand, Louise helplessly knelt on the soil.
"You damned girl.... for a long time, I couldn't do anything about you. I won't let you die so easily and quickly. I'll make you pay for showing King Joseph and me contempt!"
Louise wanted to stand up, but her body was not following her basic commands. Jörmungandr, at a height of around 25 meters, really were legendary killing machines.
And so, the two enormous golems stared down upon her from above.
The surrounding Romalian troops commenced attacking in unison. The shells and bullets all landed on the Jörmungandr accurately, since everyone fired at such a close range.
Around a couple dozen of rounds blasted the surface of the Jörmungandr. The "reflection magic" gave a faint shimmer, easily warding off these pitiful attacks.
Around Louise, all sorts of shell fragments poured down like a waterfall. Fortunately, someone of the Ondine Water Spirit Knights generated a shield for Louise.
"Wuaaaaaaaaa! They're monsters! Ahhhhh!"
Soldiers frantically ran for their lives, no matter what their rank was or how much ammo they had left. That was not strange at all. Despite it being called a "Crusade", facing an opponent immune to your attacks was no different than asking death to take you away.
Without even being able to dent their armor, courage naturally deflated.
In the crowd of fleeing allies, only Louise was encouraging herself.
"Never give up!"
Until now, hasn't she faced this kind of despairing situation multiple times?
Each time, didn't she stand up and fight back?
Granted power from God....
…relying on this system called "void".
Louise leapt to her wand lying quite close from her. Holding it tightly in both hands, she charged towards the Jörmungandr.
"Don't take me as a fool! Until now, how many times have I defeated you? This time won't be an exception either!"
Louise's words rang out. These words were unsupportable in Sheffield's head.
"Oh? Then what are you prepared to do?"
"Use my magic!"
"How long are you going to keep dreaming? Haven't I proved your magic ineffective already? You useless void user really surprise me."
How did I do it? How did I always emerge victorious then?
"Where did your familiar run off to? That kid always sticks to you like a faithful watchdog, shielding you. Did he leave you out of despair?"
"I never had a familiar! I did it all by myself...."
Suddenly, Louise felt an intense throbbing pain in her head, thus bending down to the ground in agony.
The pitch black fissure in her heart.... the deeply opened up fracture, was blaming Louise.
"Gentle? You're really foolish, Louise."
Being once described like that by Henrietta....
Did she really rely solely on her power to gain victory?
Then... she was reminded of Guiche's countless attempts to persuade her of something.
Who is Saito?
Every time this name popped out, her heart darkened, tormenting the crack in her heart, as if threatening it to widen even more.
While searching for a light in the pitch blackness of her heart, she suddenly understood everyone's feelings.
Louise was confused. Seeing her face, Sheffield laughed rudely.
"Did you really forget? Or was I right about him abandoning you? That makes perfect sense; you are after all a useless waste of space, the most incapable out of all incapables! Ah, thinking about how many times I actually lost to this weak human! Such a shame! However, today will be the end! I will show my master your dying face. That way, my master will definitely be pleased, knowing who really treats him the best."
In Louise's mind, something flashed.
Countless episodes of desperation.
Crises conquered by Louise.
But, inside... something made her feel that these adventures were but silly dreams. She was unwilling to accept it. Am I not really myself?
A silhouette of somebody tampered around with Louise's heart. That gentle silhouette. That projection, encouraging her in her memories, shielding her from attacks…
"Save me."
Louise pleaded for help without thinking.
"Begging for your life? You're actually begging for your life?"
"Saito, save me!"
Like chanting an unknown spell, these words flowed out of Louise's mouth naturally. Even though these words were unknown to Louise's knowledge, as long as this name came out, for some reason she felt like she would definitely be saved.
"Oho, even the legendary void mage gave up and started praying? Compared to my master's power, you puny void user are weaker than a newborn infant. You shame the carriers of void! Suffer my wrath!"
The Jörmungandr raised its foot. In Louise's vision, the Jörmungandr's humongous foot kept magnifying. What was about to destroy her was a giant's foot.
Frightened to the core, Louise cried out
"Saito! Save me!"
Must live, must definitely live.
If she died.... she could never recognize that gentle shadow again. Louise knew that, that would be something much worse than dying.
....Expecting that instant to be her last, those thoughts zipped through her mind.
A sound of solid objects colliding was heard.
Louise opened her eyes and… the foot of the Jörmungandr that was about to crush her was gone!?
The Jörmungandr's giant body tilted backwards, losing its balance. Its huge body collided with the cliffs, flailing its arms and legs messily. Because it lost a leg, standing still became a difficult task.
Louise was totally confused about the events that occurred.
The other Jörmungandr swiftly hid behind the rocks.
Guiche, who was constantly getting her out of trouble, dashed towards her. He picked her up and ran away from the enormous golems.
Like a tightly stretched wire suddenly being sliced in half, Louise fainted away abruptly.
Saito, through his scope, noticed the other one. It was losing its balance ever so slowly, finally taken down on the cliffs of the canyon.
The giant's collision brewed up a stew of sand and stones.
"It looks like it's tuned up too low."
Saito declared while looking through multiple triangular shaped scopes. He originally thought that the Jörmungandr's width was around 6 mails... but seems like 8 mails was the correct answer.
Miscalculating the enemy's radius, the shell hit somewhat lower than where the scope really aimed at.
Saito adjusted the angle of the 88 millimeter cannon. Right in the middle of the large triangular periscope displayed the Jörmungandr crawling for dear life.
Subsequently, he pulled the trigger with force.
Following the loud bang from the turret, smoke emitted from the interior and pumped out slowly from the ventilation above.
Like a spear of light, the 88 millimeter shell embedded itself straight onto the now-no-longer-struggling Jörmungandr.
The armor of the Jörmungandr were originally designed to withstand the maximal magical damage possible. Nevertheless, being capable of escaping harmlessly from the most powerful attacks had its own limits.
The momentum of an 88 millimeter shell, if converted into Halkeginian units, meant that at 2000 mails away, it was able of piercing an 84 millimeter armor plate like cake. An armor thick enough to endure this shell had yet to exist in that world.
Shells capable of piercing through an armor of that size were not possible in that world. The shells of the Panzer, to everyone's surprise, were in fact capable of doing so.
Traveling at a speed of over 750 meters per second, the 88 millimeter shell instantly demolished the Jörmungandr fallen to ground, cutting through the armor that caused nobles so much trouble, and exploding from within.
The armor of the dead Jörmungandr expanded rapidly and blew to smithereens.
From the end of the tank's cannon, out came an empty shell. Beside of Saito, a blue-haired girl carried another one approximately half the height of herself.
"Tabitha, not that one. Load the one colored red on the end."
Giving a little nod, Tabitha took another shell from the rack and pushed it within the 88 millimeter cannon according to how Saito taught her. She then shut the cannon tight.
Saito returned to his periscope.
He sought out the Jörmungandr hiding under the shadows of cliff rocks. The moment it stuck its head out to survey its environment, it was already located by Saito.
"Where are you trying to run, you metal pigheads?"
The trigger was pulled without a second thought.
Without deviating at the slightest, the 88mm shell made a perfect headshot, squishing the Jörmungandr's face. Losing its balance, it fell facing the sky.
"Got him, comrade Saito!"
Buzzing through the headphones, cheers were heard. It was Colbert, who was on the controller's seat. On the other side, Kirche exclaimed
"Incredible... that must've been a distance of 2 leagues, yet the shell still hit so accurately!"
What should have been asked was why a Panzer would appear here...
Bursting out of the door, arriving at the mentioned warehouse, Saito found the repaired Tiger I Panzer, accompanied by Kirche and the others. They seemed to have somehow gotten this tank while the ceremony was progressing.
Saito filled the tank with gasoline initially used for the Zero fighter plane, and left promptly. Originally, Saito handled the controls and Colbert watched him excitedly from the side. But, soon Colbert was able to replace Saito, since he learned quite quickly thanks to his past experiences of repairing this tank and his knowledge of machines.
"This is called 'Tiger', right? Controlling this tank is definitely much easier than that 'airplane'. Just pull this, and it moves forward..."
Colbert stepped hard on the accelerator. Instantly, the Panzer's engine roared to life. Hiding behind the dense bushes behind the hills, they were able to observe Tiger's Highway completely.
"If you turn this disk, we can spin."
That was similar to the steering wheel of a car. The Panzer easily changed its course.
"....Oh, exposing ourselves now, wouldn't that be a bad idea?"
"Nah, the smoke from the cannons would reveal us anyway. Just charge forward. If we don't stop the enemy, they might..."
Roaring numerous times, the Panzer dashed to the entrance of "Tiger's Highway". Mixed emotions of jubilation and tearfulness exploded from the fleeing Romalian army once they discovered that two Jörmungandr had perished.
Sheffield, seeing through her monocle, confirmed the massive wreck those Jörmungandr caused when being destroyed.
"From a distance of 2 leagues, penetrating the armor of Jörmungandr......?"
Sheffield quickly realized that there was only one existence capable of achieving that.
"So you finally appeared. How interesting! Let us end it here and now, Gandálfr."
The Panzer roared strongly and charged toward the Canyon's entrance, pushing soil around its sides. There gathered Romalian soldiers and generals.
As Saito emerged from the portal, a cavalry troop marching parallel of the tank greeted Saito:
"Thanks for your help! Destroying that devil-like armored golem.... please inform me of your unit's name!"
"Ondine Water Spirit Knights of Tristain!"
"Understood! There is one more thing I wish to ask of you! Hoisting a flag affects morale! Please hoist this flag on top!"
The soldier handed Saito a flag. It was black and white, showing in its center a drawing of a holy cross.
"What is this?"
Saito was a little bit muddled. Tabitha poked her head out the hole beside and told him "Crusader's flag."
The design was surprisingly similar to the steel cross tattooed on the tank's body. Supposedly, this is a cross.... Saito searched his memory.
Things turned out a little bit weird, Saito began to realize.
Probably because this was a tank bearing a cross from Earth, carrying a cross of a parallel world seemed quite odd to him...
Nonetheless, Saito hung the flag on the antenna. Waving in the winds, the flag instantly ignited the morale of the beaten Romalian army.
"Long live Pope his Holiness! Long live the United Kingdoms!"
The knight who handed Saito the emblem, cried out to his own army "Everyone! Attention! The great army from Tristain has joined us in our Crusade! Do not fear! We have the protection of our ancestors!"
Still, the one fighting with the enemy is ultimately me.... Saito muttered to himself.
"The hell I'd believe for whoever's God this is for!"
Above the Crusader's flag, Saito hung his own cape.
His cape was decorated with delicate patterns of Sulaliai (修瓦里埃) medals, dancing in the wind. With the sounds of chains clinking together, the Panzer arose to life once again.
In the valley's entrance, six Jörmungandr appeared.
Sheffield, who had acknowledged Saito's existence, decided to defeat him once in for all.
In every Jörmungandr's hands, there were cannons plundered from the "sunken" warship. Quickly, Saito returned to the turret, closed the hatch, and sat in the gunner's seat, staring in the periscope.
"Professor! Stop moving the tank!"
Skidding across the ground, the Panzer spat dust in the air, and finally halted.
The distance was about 1000 meters.
From the triangular scope, the Jörmungandr's distinct silhouette was revealed. With Halkeginia's technology, making a periscope this powerful and precise was absolutely impossible.
The Jörmungandr turned their cannons towards the Panzer.
Light began to gather from these cannons.
The six Jörmungandr fired in unison.
Flares produced by the shots flew everywhere.
The shells of the cannons flew in the Panzer's direction, screeching loudly while slicing through the air. Where they landed, dust and dirt exploded violently.
One of the shells landed right in front of the tank, blasting the ground to smithereens.
The tank shook incredibly. Like wood hitting a copper bell, a large echoing 'CLANG!' was made. Tabitha covered her ears and knelt on the floor.
Yet, that was all the damage caused. Similar to cannons made on Earth several hundreds of years ago, it was deemed impossible to penetrate a Panzer's robust armor.
"You dumbasses. Don't even think about winning! You have grown to become giant idiots!"
Saito yelled this and activated the trigger.
"Don't look down on Earth, playground of imagination!"
Completely indifferent of the enemy's speed, the shells demolished every single Jörmungandr the instant they hit one. 'THUNK!' A large hole opened up on one Jörmungandr's giant body; thus, it fell back, killed in action.
The remaining five Jörmungandr, initiated a surprise attack in order to defeat the tank.
At a distance of 800 meters, one fell. At 600 meters, another one fell.
Once the cannon emptied, it was refilled while the tank retreated. Though the Jörmungandr were very speedy, catching up to a Panzer driving backwards was still quite difficult.
The Panzer appeared to be heavy; in reality its speed was not as dull as imagined. Moving to keep its distance, and stopping again to fire, this was Saito's strategy.
He repeated this retreating attack numerous times.
Jörmungandr were no different from sitting ducks, called to death one by one by the Panzer. Because of the sudden appearance of Gandálfr, a hot-headed Sheffield lost her senses and actually ordered the entire army to charge forward.
Apparently, Sheffield had no idea what a "tank" was.
In front of a grand and wide plain with no cover whatsoever, charging together towards the tank.... was suicide.

I Don't Love My Baby
I like order, organization, and planning.
When I became pregnant-which was a miracle itself, but that's another story-I <obsessively> researched every idea, problem, scenario, opinion and strategy on pregnancy, babies and labor. What to eat, what not to eat, the best and worst names, the 'must have' products, the worst baby products, contractions, epidurals, emergency C-Sections, birthing positions...not a decision was made I hadn't vetted thoroughly.
Throughout my entire pregnancy, I was coaching my step-daughter's 10 & under competitive softball team. I coached 4-5 days per week, worked a full time job and a second part-time job all while having a family, dog and a life!
I was thrilled to be pregnant and add to our family (I have two AMAZING <step> kids) but I refused to use being pregnant as an excuse to live life any different. I was blessed with an 'easy' pregnancy: no major complications or problems. There was no justifiable reason to slow down, much to the chagrin of my family and friends.
Our final softball tournament was scheduled the weekend before my due date. Our little guy had other plans however, and decided to join us 8 days earlier...and join us he did! My water broke at 1:15AM on July 29 and we met our little man at 4:24AM!
This was NOT part of my life plan I had prepared for us! (I can laugh at myself now in thinking 'planning' any of this was even possible!)
The 9 months of pregnancy were for growth and bonding and I LOVED being pregnant! I embraced and marveled each flutter, every ultra-sound, all those kicks, punches and flops.
But I didn't fall "IN LOVE" while I was pregnant.
Although I had a birth plan, read and watched all the information I could to educate myself for an experience I was yet to have, there is no amount of research or planning to prepare you for labor; especially a first & fast one.
It was incredible and terrifying! I was panicked and scared, I didn't breathe correctly, I was screaming and in indescribable pain! The labor was so quick (Google 'precipitous labor') I didn't have time to process the reality, let alone practice anything we had worked on with our doula.
It sounds funny that I am 'complaining' about a fast labor-but in a strange way-I felt almost 'cheated'out of the overall experience.
Society portrays THAT moment as the most emotionally charged moment of EVERY mother's life. I felt relief, adrenaline, excitement, pure happiness and fear, but I didn't quite feel...L-O-V-E.
What was wrong with me?
I was in total shock over the entire situation. One minute, I woke up to go pee and the next I'm pushing a human out of my body!
In retrospect, I didn't have time to process the reality and emotion of this experience and associate my tiny baby to specific emotions, namely love. I would stare at him in awe and proudly show him off to our family and friends who visited. I wasn't prepared for the lack of sleep (even though everyone warns you), the experience of nursing (it HURT at first) or the extinction of your former life; all while trying to find a 'new normal.'
I equated my son to these negatives the first few weeks and felt a mild resentment. All the research hadn't prepared me for this reality. I didn't feel a visceral 'LOVE.'
What I felt was an 'obligatory love.'
I knew I was supposed to love my child.
Because I was his mom and that's what 'good' moms do.
Society, family, friends, media all tell me I should. Heck, biology tells us we should. So I was devoted and loved him the way I thought a new mom should.
But, it wasn't REAL love.
I hadn't had time to fall in love!
I didn't fall in love with my husband or my older <step> kids right away. I had to spend time learning their personalities and their unique attributes. I had to learn what makes them happy and sad or what makes them laugh or cry. I had to learn their favorite food, colors, music and sports. I had to learn their values and passions. I had to learn WHO they were before my heart could decipher LOVE.
Who was I to force love when love blossoms in its own perfect time?
Then-it happened.
I distinctly remember the moment my heart fell madly, deeply and irrevocably in love with this tiny human my body created! I was holding him after nursing. He was slightly 'milk-drunk' and I was holding him up so we were meeting each other's gaze....and he smiled at me. Who knows why this 3 week old human smiled right then, but it was the most awe-inspiring, tear-inducing, heart-racing moment of my life.
I fell in love with my child.
I snuggled his precious little body to mine as my tears fell on his perfect cherub cheek. I knew from that moment I would do everything and anything to make him happy, to guide him and give him the best opportunities in life. I understood right then why my mom still looks at me a certain way.
I became a mommy in that moment. I felt unconditional love.
So, for each pregnant mom like me- who research and stress (then research about the impacts of stress)- this is for you. I hope you read my story. I want you to give yourself permission to not LOVE your tiny new human immediately if you don't feel it.
Give your heart permission to manifest the unconditional Mommy love and allow it to grow organically.
There is nothing wrong with you.
Love will hit you like a ton of bricks over time. You're not a bad mom if you don't feel all the things right away.
**These feelings can also be a part of Postpartum Depression. PPD is a serious concern. If you are having negative thoughts toward your children or yourself, please speak with your medical provider.

Born in the United States, Zane Nedvidek didn't have it easy. His family was of lower class. His mother is a squib, and his father a self-employed man, if you could call a criminal that. Nobody ever expected magic to come from Zane. His father was abusive, constantly beating him and his mother. Growing up in this situation, with his mother being a simple cleaning lady, and his father doing petty theft here and there while mowing lawns, wasn't ideal. Zane had plans, even as a young child, to become bigger than all of that. He thought that there was something special about him. Something unique. Then, it happened. Upon turning eleven years of age, he was sent a letter of acceptance into a school for boys located in the Eastern USA. His mother was thrilled, seeing as her son had inherited something that seemed to skip over her. His father was happy too, thinking of what magic could help him gain with his criminal activites, and had a sit down his his son. During this conversation, Zane had tried to explain to his father that he would not venture into the criminal world. This had earned him a beating until an agreement was reached.
At school, Zane intellectual individual, showing tremendous skills, even as a first year. He was considered to be one of the top students of his class, excelling in subjects such as Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and Arithmancy. In his third year, Zane joined the Quidditch team as a beater.
However, his home life was soon to be catching up with him. Zane's father had been imprisoned in his sixth year, nearly getting Zane expelled for the first time. A little escapade. All Zane had to do was unlock a few doors, a safe, and they would be rich. Of course, even magic can't stop a motion detection alarm. Zane was gone before the police showed up, but the Ministry got onto him for using magic outside of the school. After this episode, Zane turned violent out of nowhere. The quiet, hard working student began lashing out at classmates who eventually became too afraid to turn him in. He was booted from the Quidditch team, removed from his spot as the Prefect, and outcast by nearly everybody. His incident with his father had tarnished his reputation. What more could he have to lose? He was being bullied, and had reached his boiling point.
That's when it happened. Zane nearly killed a kid in the halls of his previous because the boy had pushed him against the wall and called him a loser for having a pathetic father. Zane snapped, and started beating the boy over and over again with a chair until being pulled apart by a professor. This resulted in his expulsion. His mother, afraid of backlash from other parents against her son, packed up, and moved to Australia, her home land. She found a way to enroll him into school despite his past, writing letter after letter. Because of this, he started at Tallygarunga Academy of Magic. A relationship, if you can truly call it that, blossomed with Améa, and after some time they dropped out of school, got married, and soon after disappeared.
They returned to Narrie and began talking about starting a family of their own, however, Améa needed to get strong enough to carry a child, so she left to be with her family so that they can figure it out. He has not seen her since.
What is not known is that Zane has been under the imperious curse by his uncle, Thomas Sollozzo, in an attempt to seek revenge on Adele. When Zane had come home to tell his mother that he'd met someone, and told her the name, Thomas immediately acted. Zane has been under the imperious curse this entire time, trying his best to fight it. His mother tried to help, but as a squib could not do much. Thomas found out and made Zane kill his own mother. Zane had an opportunity to create a new, better life for himself, but Thomas did not allow that. Instead, it turned him into the monster he is known to be today.

The War Against Terrorism
On August 2nd 1990, Iraq invaded the small oil rich country of Kuwait on its southeastern border. Iraq claimed that Kuwait was a long time province from the 1800's and early 1900s', whose lands belonged under control of Iraq, a so-called province. Saddam Hussein also argued that Kuwait was pumping oil from an oil field that was on the border of the two countries and belonged to Iraq. Upon gaining control of Kuwait, Hussein was able to eliminate his previous debt to Kuwait and gain it's substantial oil wealth, roughly 10% of the worlds oil supply. Regardless of the motives behind Iraq's invasion, under international law, none of Iraq's claims against Kuwait justified its invasion of that country.
The world perception of Iraq was one of greed, where Hussein had taken the defenseless country of Kuwait for its oil wealth in order to secure his own power with OPEC and among his own people. The United Nations Security Council immediately placed a trade embargo on Iraq and demanded that they withdraw from Kuwait. When Hussein failed to comply, a world coalition of 39 countries, mainly led by the United States and the United Nations, was given the order to take action. Air strikes soon commenced followed by a full scale ground invasion, which lasted technically until late February of 1991, in which Hussein's forces were totally removed from Kuwait.
Naturally, the world led by the United Nations and the United States, condemned the actions of Iraq. However the real truth behind the matter is economics. The U.S., along with other industrialized nations, had a substantial economic interest in Kuwait's oil riches. Had Iraq acted more intelligently in its acquisition of Kuwait and not presented a threat to other surrounding countries and the oil trade, it might have succeeded. Saddam Hussein even posed the question to the world that if it was going to condemn Iraq for it's invasion of Kuwait, then why did the world not condemn Israel for it's continuing occupation of lands taken during the past conflicts with other Arab nations.
In the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th, the world has had a sobering look at world terrorism. Led mainly by the United States, and supported by the United Nations, a new war on terrorism has begun. Overwhelming support worldwide has surfaced as President Bush has vowed to punish those who decide to commit terrorist acts, as well as those who harbor or condone these activities. So far Bush has followed through on his promise with the war in Afghanistan against the Taliban regime. Others are also displaying their understanding of the situation and are treading a great deal lighter in search of their causes to avoid being labeled as terrorists, as shown by the latest disarmament and return to the negotiating table by the Irish Republican Army. As the world watches, President Bush is now faced with enormous pressure to gain control of the...

At a pinch you could buy a sponge for this trifle, but then you'd miss the warm caramel flavour of the brown sugar sponge in the mix - and nothing beats a homemade sponge. Assemble the trifle while the sauce is still warm so it mingles with the cream.
Banana, brandy and butterscotch trifle
Jun 12, 2013 2:00pm
Layers of gooey butterscotch and the warm notes of brown sugar and brandy.
- 40 mins preparation
- 40 mins cooking plus cooling
- Serves 6 - 8
- 5 bananas, thickly sliced
- For drizzling: brandy
- To serve: salted roast peanuts (optional)
Brown sugar sponge
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- 80 gm each brown sugar and raw caster sugar
- 100 gm plain flour (1/3 cup)
- 50 gm butter, melted and cooled
- ¼ tsp baking powder
Brandy crème fraîche
- 750 gm crème fraîche
- 40 gm brown sugar
- 40 ml brandy
- Scraped seeds of 2 vanilla beans
Butterscotch sauce
- 320 gm brown sugar
- 300 ml pouring cream
- 80 gm butter, coarsely chopped
- 40 gm golden syrup
- 40 ml brandy
- 1For brown sugar sponge, preheat oven to 180C. Whisk eggs and sugars in an electric mixer until thick and tripled in volume (5-6 minutes). Sieve over half the flour, fold to combine, fold in melted butter, then sieve in remaining flour and baking powder. Spoon into a deep 20cm square cake tin buttered and lined with baking paper and bake until golden and centre springs back when pressed lightly (20-25 minutes). Cool in tin, then store in an airtight container until required.
- 2For brandy crème fraîche, whisk ingredients in an electric mixer to soft peaks (2-3 minutes), then refrigerate until required.
- 3For butterscotch sauce, stir ingredients in a saucepan until sugar dissolves, bring to the boil and cook until thick and syrupy (5-10 minutes). Add a pinch of salt and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- 4To serve, coarsely tear cake into rough pieces, then layer ingredients in a large serving bowl. Start with brandy crème fraîche, scatter with some sliced banana, drizzle with butterscotch sauce, scatter over a layer of torn cake, drizzle cake with a little brandy and butterscotch sauce and continue layering until you've used all the cake. Finish with peaks of brandy crème fraîche, scatter with sliced banana and drizzle with more warm butterscotch sauce. Serve with extra warm butterscotch sauce and salted peanuts.
When you're making caramel, stir water and sugar over heat until sugar dissolves, then let mixture boil without stirring but swirling the pan so the caramel cooks and colours evenly, brushing down the sides with a pastry brush to remove sugar crystals.

Stockholm – Presented by Sandqvist
In the second part of our European 'City Break' guide, contemporary Swedish bag designers, Sandqvist guide us through Sweden's majestic capital.
Perched idyllically upon the shores of the icy Baltic Sea, Stockholm's elegance will immediately impress. Whilst the city is steeped in history with its, oh so Instagramable architecture; Stockholm is a dynamic global design hub and is buzzing to the brim with unique bars and eateries. Sandqvist guides you through this lesser-explored gem. If this wasn't on the hit list before, it might well be after reading some of these handy city hacks…
B&B: Where's your favourite coffee spot?
Petrus Bakery at Mariatorget for their delicious pastries and bread, and it's also right across the street from the first ever Sandqvist store. Twang Café has a relaxed, non-pretentious feel – and a rad guitar shop in the basement. Or Bio Rio in Hornstull – get a great cup of coffee and catch a movie at the same time.
B&B: Favourite bar?
Garlic and Shots. Just your average friendly biker bar. Good food, drinks and music. Just don't order fancy Ales and hip drinks… you might be asked to leave. Södra Teatern – Mosebacketerrassen, offers great views over Stockholm, ping pong tables and live music. Just down the street, there's a great tattoo parlour and a hip Pizza place with vanilla flavoured beer.
B&B: One must-do activity whilst you're in the area?
Eat at Indio Kitchen and mosey around the Nytorget area. Maybe have a drink at one of the many bars in the neighbourhood. Enjoy the park in the sunshine. If it's all in one area it counts as one right?!
B&B: Is there any one spot that makes for a great walk?
Go for a walk along the water from Hornstull to Skanstull. Absolute favourite of mine. There's a square midway through – during the summer there's food trucks and a pop-up boule bar.
We cannot wait to return to Stockholm now we've got all those tips, team buying trip, anyone? Don't forget to take a look at our full collection of city break products, you can't fail to find something that's going to make your next City Break even better.
