Once you feel confident the breed you have chosen will suit your lifestyle and commitments, it's time to find a breeder, and hopefully a new addition to your family will be forthcoming in the near future.
No doubt you have already taken a considerable amount of time considering which breed is right for you, the amount of exercise and grooming required, the size of the adult dog and the cost to keep, the reasons for selecting your chosen breed and some of the activities in which you and your family would like to participate.
You may have attended dog shows to help choose your breed, but did you talk to breeders and exhibitors with the view to the actual purchase of your new family member? Breeders are always on hand at shows to answer questions. They are the best source for obtaining a healthy, well-raised and well-bred puppy.
Breeding quality dogs of sound mind and body is taken very seriously and many hours are spent comparing dogs and pedigrees before decisions are made regarding matings. Responsible breeders will always consider the advancement and improvement of the breed before breeding a litter. Some people are purely motivated by profit and only breed to produce puppies for sale. Look for other litters on the premises of both your chosen breed and other breeds. Ask when the next litter is planned.
The responsible breeder will help you with your choice and selection of a puppy and will be willing to provide ongoing support and advice as your puppy matures. They will also answer more indepth questions about the finer details of the breed.
Responsible breeders care. They raise happy and healthy puppies. This should also be reflected in the condition and temperament of the adults living on the premises. Their living quarters should be clean and all dogs should appear to be well cared for. The puppies should also be clean, well conditioned, lively and friendly.
Responsible breeders should proudly show you all the dogs on their premises, and allow you to handle all the puppies in a litter as soon as they have been weaned. The mother of the puppies should be in good condition, clean, happy and active. If the father lives elsewhere you could ask for the owner's contact details or to see photos of him.
Most breeds have some hereditary conditions. Ask about test results and scores of parents and other members of the family, and whether there are other potential health problems to be watched for. Be wary of those who deny any such conditions exist in their breed. Also ask whether the breeder is prepared to have the puppy checked by your own vet and whether you can return your puppy if any health problems eventuate.
Puppies should not leave their breeder until they are 8 weeks old. They should have been treated for worms from approximately 2-3 weeks of age, and have had their first vaccination at approximately 6-7 weeks of age. Vaccination records, a copy of the pedigree, and a puppy
care and diet sheet should be available to you when or before you collect your puppy.
Responsible breeders should ask you questions! After all, you are the potential owner of their baby who they have put so much time and effort into breeding, and raising. They will want to know why you chose this breed, how you propose to care for your puppy, what facilities you
have prepared for him to live in, whether your premises are secure, whether he will be required to spend time alone, how your children feel about your new family member, ..... and more!
Dogs West can provide you with details and dates of shows and events and contact details for breeders and breed clubs. All Dogs West members are bound to adhere to a [ Article SMBWF51TWQ9TEEGWRVQTT9BX0EF01E not found.] relating to the keeping, welfare, breeding and selling of dogs.

The bonds of friendship only go so far at NBC.
The network has pulled its midseason comedy BFF from its schedule after only four airings, TVLine.com reports
Series star and executive producer Lennon Parham tweeted Friday, "BFF Fans: Wanted to let you know that our show is being taken off the air until the summer. Hoping to post ep 5 & 6 online asap.... Jessica St. Clair and I CANNOT thank you enough for the love and support of our little show. You guys are truly the best."
Save These Shows: 14 bubble shows we hope will survive
In BFF, Parham co-stars with St. Clair, also an executive producer, as friends living across the country from each other who reunite in a Brooklyn apartment.
The comedy premiered on April 4 and attracted 3.9 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating. Its fourth outing, however, only drew 2.65 million viewers and a 0.8.
A second installment of Betty White's Off Their Rockers will fill BFF's time slot on Wednesdays at 8:30/7:30c.

1. Todd McFarlane describes his own strategy to explain why DC's 52 initiative is ill-conceived:
One of the things I have to do is not put all the All-Stars in the first line. Because if I do all the All-Stars in the first line, the next line is less than All-Stars. What I do is, I take my players, and I consider them to be A, B or C level. And I put six out in each line, I put two A, two B, two C, so that I balance it throughout the year so that I don't get these spikes in sales, and retailers see this steady stream of sales at a steady volume.2.

To: All USGS Employees
From: Karen D. Baker //s// Brian Wachter
Associate Director for Administration and Enterprise Information
Subject: DOI LEARN
This is a reminder for all USGS employees to utilize the Department of Interior (DOI) learning management system, DOI LEARN for all training. DOI adopted this system as part of an E-Gov initiative in 2006. The system consolidated and established a single, DOI source for scheduled courses, training records and online course delivery. All Interior bureaus are required to use DOI LEARN. DOI LEARN can be accessed at http://www.doi.gov/doilearn/index.cfm.
The current system (Version 5.0) offers the following benefits:
- One level of electronic approval in the system (there is no forwarding capability beyond this level).
- Supervisors do not need to approve most DOI mandatory training.
- Standard reports are incorporated into DOI LEARN for use by Supervisors and Instructors allowing monitoring of training completions. The report filter feature enables the user to define all information needed.
- DOI LEARN can be accessed from any computer with an Internet browser (preferably Internet Explorer (IE)).
- As a role based system, all USGS Employees are responsible for their own training requests in the system.
- Employees can print their transcripts of completed training at any time.
- USGS Instructors can create and manage their own classes.
- DOI LEARN does not automatically obligate funds in FFS. This requires Administrative Officers or other Employees with financial responsibilities to manually obligate funds as necessary.
- Contractors, Volunteers and Emeritus may use the system as "External" users to request training, subject to approval by a USGS manager.
- USGS Employees can search the course catalog for any Interior bureau and may register for available courses.
- DOI LEARN allows employees to input "External" classes (training not listed in the catalog) using an electronic SF-182 Training Authorization.
The Office of Organizational and Employee Development (OED), working with other Interior bureaus, continues to provide cyber seminars for the various roles in DOI LEARN. Register to attend a DOI LEARN webinar by searching the DOI LEARN course catalog for "DOI LEARN Upgrade Introduction." All employees should review and update their profiles before requesting any training.
Specific questions about DOI LEARN should be referred to the Help Desk at: 1-866-466-1998 or email email@example.com. For additional support, please visit the USGS Human Capital Web Site at http://www.usgs.gov/humancapital/ecd/ecd_trainingdoi.html

The ROI of Loyalty (Part II)
Posted: 5/11/2009 by Norma Watenpaugh
Part I discussed how demographic segmentation allowedtargeting programs, benefits, and attention to engender greater loyalty and business through their developers. Part II addresseshow segmentation by 'Loyalty' itself helps to identify andto address specific concerns of developers. While net promoter score seems to be the popularrage, we used the Apostle model to segment loyalty. The Apostle model gives much information with respect to how loyalty affects behavior.
The Aposlte model maps the community into a four quadrant graph. One the horizontal dimension we map overall satisfaction. On the vertical dimension, we map likelyhood of continuing to use the service. This gives us interesting insight into behavior.
In the upper right quadrant, the magic quadrant as some would call it, are the Apostles. Those who are very happy and very loyal. They are your evangelists. In this study they value the community blogs, a good thing because it gives them a forum to spread their good will. You want to nuture this community and continue to give them the opportunity to spread the word and do your 'marketing' for you.
In the lower right quadrant, were the mercenaries. These were developers who were satisfied but not very loyal. These respondents who fall in this corner, typically as the name implies, can be price sensitive and they can be rather fickle.
The upper left quadrant maps the hostages. These are a most interesting segment. They are not happy but they feel they have no choice or feel trapped into the business relationship. Understanding the drivers of loyalty and satisfaction in this quadrant is key. Hostages are very vulnerable to competitive alternatives when they see an opportunity to switch. Their loyalty is often based on features they percieve to be extremely important and cannot be found anywhere else. These features may be competitive differentiators. Ironically many of the hostages actually want the client to be successful. Addressing their grievances can quickly move this segment to the right into the Apostle quadrant.
The lower left quandrant is hostile territory. Here be Snipers. They are dissatisfied and they are dangerous because they tend to be vocal about their discontent. Molify these guys quickly or help them exit your community gracefully.
Managing loyalty is becoming even more critical in a virtual world where social media enables everyone to have a voice. Understand loyalty drivers are critical to managing your on-line reputation and growing your business.
Responses to The ROI of Loyalty (Part II)
Norma Watenpaugh
You do pose a very interesting question, Mike. And knowing you, I'm sure you have some very interesting thoughts on how successful companies differentiate themselves when their competitors are 'giving it away'. Have you written the blog on this yet?
Mike Dubrall
The question in a hyper-active and increasingly interactive marketplace is how vendors will try and maintain loyalty to their products and services when customers can find alternatives for less money. Will paid services edge out free ones (webex vs. dimdim or freeconferencecall.com vs iLinc or even AT&T)? Will brand names triumph because of superior but costly customer service? Measuring and monitoring loyalty when people (customers, resellers, and alliances) can find alternatives so quickly is the biggest marketing issue of the next decade!
Lynn Hunsaker
I love to see segmentation by loyalty levels as a great way to manage customers for immediate and long-term ROI. Dealing with the less-attractive quadrants is fascinating -- I've written about embracing the negative in my blog, as a London School of Economics study determined reducing negative word-of-mouth can grow revenue by 300% versus increasing positive word-of-mouth. See http://clearaction.biz/blog/love-those-lemons/ and http://clearaction.biz/blog/cems-weakest-link-3-tips-for-managing-brand-value/
Tom Halle
"Molify [snipers] quickly or help them exit your community gracefully."An interesting thought comes to mind - remember the scene in 'Miracle on 34th Street' where the department-store Santa recommends the store across the street - a seemingly altruistic act? What if instead he concluded that this was a 'sniper' customer who would never be satisfied with what his store had to offer, and decided to hang this customer around his competitor's neck instead? Whether partners or customers, even better than simply moving the sniper out of your ecosystem would be moving them into your competitor's, so he or she can snipe away at them for a change... :)

While we had the chance to see Gears of War at the Microsoft conference for the first time, Microsoft was also offering up a chance to play the game at their hotel suite. We took the opportunity and found out a couple of interesting things about the control system.
As you would expect, the mouse and keyboard will be supported for Gears of War, something we actually had to get used to, which we weren't expecting. I guess playing the game for so long on 360 warped our minds. Thankfully, if you get too confused by the superior aiming system, you'll be able to switch, on the fly, between the 360 controller and mouse and keyboard. The interesting thing about it is that even the visual cues for the special maneuvers when under cover, like jumping over a wall or moving from cover to cover, will also change on the fly. Sure, not a huge thing, but certainly cool that they're putting the attention into such a small detail as that.
The game itself is pretty easy to get into. That initial control shock was gone pretty quickly and we found ourselves dashing around the environment taking down enemies with little to no problem. WASD works just fine with a modifier key for walking instead of jogging. Dash and use cover still use the same key however. I was hoping with so many new keys on the board that they would have separated the two actions so that dashing along wouldn't cause us to stick onto walls and other objects accidentally.
Everything else is just as easy as you would expect from any PC shooter. Weapons can be switched easily, active reloads can be pulled off easily, and aiming around corners is quick and simple (right mouse button).
The visuals on the PC version are no joke. The 360 version was stunning enough compared to most PC games so seeing it on a nice PC monitor was really great. It'll be awesome to pump it up to 1920x1200 at home and utter disdainful obscenities along with Fenix and his ape-like crew.
We're certainly pleased with what we've seen of the game on PC. It's pretty clear this port is going to be a good one, especially with all that extra content that was announced earlier at the show. Look for more info on Gears of War once we get it.

Culture Project and Mondoweiss present
Blueprint for Accountability: Gaza, Goldstone and the Crisis of Impunity
moderated by Laura Flanders
with special guest Trudie Styler
with Naomi Klein, Col. Desmond Travers, Noura Erakat, and Lizzy Ratner
When the Goldstone Report was released in September 2009, it quickly became the report heard round the world. The United Nations Human Rights Council investigation of the 2008-09 Gaza conflict shook the international community with its unflinching look at the outrages unleashed on a captive population, and it deeply rattled Israel with its call for accountability for war crimes committed by both Israel and Hamas. Last month the lead author of the report, Justice Richard Goldstone, once again made headlines when he wrote an essay in The Washington Post "reconsidering" one of the key findings of the report: the targeting of civilians by Israel. The piece has been seized on by Israel's supporters to try to discredit the report once and for all.
On May 19th, 2011 a distinguished panel of experts gathered, including a co-author of the report, to discuss the fallout of Goldstone's Op-Ed and the ongoing need for accountability for the crimes of Operation Cast Lead. More than 18 months after it was released, the Goldstone Report remains as critical as ever.

I've just noticed the validator beta front end asks for a URL under the heading "validate by URI" I'll be the first to admit I have no idea what the difference between a URI and a URL is, but wouldn't it be better to pick one and be consistent. Personally, I'd go for URL, that's what the rest of the world calls them :-) Possible bug report - "URL" is underlined, my cursor has a question mark attached to it when I mouse over it but nothing happens when I click it (Mozilla/WamCom 1.3.1 for Mac OS9). Style/Grammar issues (again tested with Mozilla/WamCom 1.3.1 for Mac OS9): looking at "http://validator.w3.org:8001/feedback.html" some links are double underlined, which is disconcerting! The line "* Validating pages with JavaScript: see Writing HTML in a SCRIPT Element" appears to contain 2 links, since the word "script" is not rendered as underlined. The line "Please join and contribute to the www-validator mailing list." is formatted inconsistently compared to the other links (and in IE5 for OS9 it contains 3 different fonts!) The image top right of all pages extends 1 pixel below the line at the bottom, which looks like a mistake (IE and Mozilla) The 3 lines "If your page doesn't validate, and you don't know why, or you have a question about HTML or validation" "If you are interested in helping to improve this service, by writing code or just providing ideas," and "If you want to report a bug or log a feature request." should finish in a consistent manner, at the moment one finishes with a comma, one with a period, an one unadorned. Shouldn't they all finish with colons? Gramatically, the section that reads "(If you are commenting on a specific page, be sure to provide a URL when you ask your question!)" should either not be in brackets, or it should be before the period that ends the previous sentence. Looking at "http://validator.w3.org:8001/about.html": Is there a reason that Recommendations has a capital "R" in the first sentence, but "standards" does not? In "http://validator.w3.org:8001/docs/help.html": In the "don't panic" section "aa" should read "a" The line " The validation results were certainly positive ("this page is valid..."), but if it wasn't, you would probably do the author of the page where the icon was a favor if you could warn him/her of this abnormal situation." swtiches between results being singular and plural - I suggest "result was almost certainly" to replace "results were certainly". further down... "As for every language, those have their own grammar, vocabulary and syntax," should be "these" not "those" to be consistent? "The Markup Validator is Maintained at W3C by W3C staff and benevolent collaborators, who receive a lot of help from contributors. (Read the full credits)" has the bracketed section outside the sentence too. In the 2nd paragraph under the heading "/check/referer does not work..." the word "os" appears. It probably shouldn't! Lastly the "download" page is still formatted in the old 'no banana skin' style.Received on Wednesday, 28 April 2004 20:08:16 UTC

BMW Motorrad has been working on its next generation of suspension innovations, and at the 2011 BMW Motorrad Innovation Day the Bavarian company debuted its new Dynamic Damping Control (DDC) technology. An evolution on BMW's electronic suspension adjustment system (ESA & ESA II), BMW Motorrad's Dynamic Damping Control goes beyond merely allowing the rider to adjust suspension compression, rebound, and spring settings on the fly, and adds a computer-controlled automatic tuning element to the suspension components that adapts to the road conditions on-the-fly.
For some background, BMW's ESA II is the forefather for copycat systems found on other manufacturer's machines, perhaps most notable of which is the Ducati Multistrada 1200, which boasts a "four bikes in one" tagline with its different riding modes that use different engine mapping and suspension settings to tailor the bike to the rider's needs. DDC takes this idea a step further, as it goes beyond just changing settings in different riding modes (as seen on the Ducati), and instead ties in the suspension system to BMW's ABS and traction control systems (DTC), allowing the suspension to react when a rider accelerates, brakes, swerves, and fords the river Oregon Trail style (you'll likely lose all your oxen doing this).

Has the AT&T launch of the BlackBerry Bold been pushed back to November? A data sheet BGR has gotten hold of says Yes. BGR himself says No. Hmm. Here's the latest info ... or purported info, anyway:
A supposed AT&T product sheet dated September 17 lists the following launch dates for some new AT&T gear:
And there are some new colors of the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl on tap, as well.
All of that being said, Boy Genius is still "sticking very firm" to their October 2nd launch date for Bold on AT&T. Only time will tell for sure.

My husband purchased a Nordic treadmill from Sears on 7/6/09. The treadmill was delivered and set-up by Sears. The Nordic technician was taken aback when he arrived saying Sears is supposed to only deliver and NOT assemble the treadmill. The technician adjusted the floor belt, tested the buttons for speed and incline features. The treadmill INCLINE feature did not respond. The technician put a call in and my husband put a call into Sears and ultimately the treadmill was picked up and replaced with a new one. The replacement treadmill was delivered 7/14 and left in the box for the technician to assemble.
The technician arrived a day or two later, very pleasant, assembled the treadmill. He walked me through the start, stop, pulse sensor, safety, walking belt cushion adjustments, folding, incline and speed features. When I asked about the aerobic and weight loss buttons on the panel he apologetically handed me the manual and urged me to read about any other features and stated the company (Nordic) does not train their technicians on the peripheral features such as wt. loss, aerobic, perform, endure, ifit, custom. Mind you, we paid a $199.99 fee entitled "setup with contractor" and got a technician not trained on every feature and benefit that the treadmill offered.
I had a week or so of daily use on the treadmill using the lift and speed features. On 8/10 I got curious and pushed the button for the aerobic feature. The button stayed depressed and the treadmill started to adjust the incline and speed at timed intervals. I pushed the stop button but it did not respond so - I turned off the machine at the switch. When I turned it back on the walking belt no longer moved or responded to the speed buttons. I re-read the manual to see if there was any information on this problem. I had my husband to look at the treadmill too and he mentioned the collapse of the buttons on the left hand side of the panel.
On 8/13 I called Nordic to explain my situation. The (CSR) customer service representative diagnosed over the phone that I needed a replacement panel. He stated the part was under warranty, there'd be no cost for the part other than the shipping cost of $5.99, what credit card did I want to use? What?? I explained that I've had the product for less than 30 days - used it less than 10 hrs, had to have it replaced and it's broke again and I need to pay $5.99!!! I purchased this product in good faith for an agreed upon amount. I want Nordic to provide me with a functioning product and I will not bear any additional cost.
The CSR replied with a monotoned, scripted and patronizing statement, "I understand your frustration". He never offered to absorb the $5.99 shipping fee but rather robotically stated "policy". Further, I asked, "What do I do when the panel arrives?" He explained that there are self-assembly instructions.
In my mind, this is where Nordic's brand recognition and reputation for reliability and standing behind their product began to fade. The CSR either is not empowered to make a customer saving decision to absorb the nominal shipping cost or he just didn't care about my ongoing experience that I shared with him about the Nordic product. I told the CSR I'm seriously contemplating on returning the product as this is the 2nd time I've had a problem with the product. The CSR repeated his canned reply, "I understand your frustration".
I called Sears and that was another journey. The electronic voice doesn't understand what you're saying, etc. Phone numbers ring off the hook and multiple disconnects real frustrating! Finally I made human contact with a Sears CSR explained the problem and Sears called Nordic in my behalf. The Sears CSR came back saying Nordic can have a technician out to my home in 10 days. This was the moment of clarity for me - Nordic doesn't care, there's no urgency or quality commitment in Nordic's customer service plan. Another 10 days? I don't think so!
I've lost hours of my time, my salary, trying to resolve this. I used the machine less than 10 hrs., I've had the machine for less than 30 days and it's been broke down twice and now I need to wait another 10 days for a technician? What will my next service call look like? NO more. The Nordic experience is a nightmare.
Sears processed my directive to return the Nordic product in a timely manner. I have the task of finding another treadmill - it will NOT be Nordic. My Nordic experience has been an unnecessary nightmare and I'll share this experience on blogs, social networks and to every listening ear. Nordic chose not to be responsive in a timely manner.
My replacement treadmill will go to a company who will stand behind their product, who fully trains their field technicians and CSRs, a company who has a commitment to deliver a functioning product and the customer sensitivity to recognize the urgency to correct a problem timely when the product does not function properly.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- Terrible machine. Wobbled constantly. Could hardly use it without iFit. Foot pedals are very small. You feel like you are going to fall off. Very, very heavy. With small kids it is not worth it to fold up. The resistance did not work and the only customer service was an online chat. Takes almost 5 minutes to get someone, and the chat is VERY outdated. Service was NO help at all, I kept getting kicked off.
LOGAN, UTAH -- NordicTrack Recumbent Bikes, GX4.0 and 5.0 Pro - safety and health issue with heart rate monitor, design flaw and defect – may cause stroke or death of users. On 5-24-12, Supervisor Megan said, as a private company, it is policy not to give out any contact information for executives/executive office. She said to NordicTrack I must write! This is bad customer relations and policy.
Featured grip pulse monitor useless and can't be fixed. I worked w/ incompetent CS reps from Jan to May 2012. Home visited 3 times. Waited for part over a month. Returned GX4.0 & upgraded to 5.0 Pro. It has same problem. CS representative did not give option to upgrade again for $100 to a $1299.00 Commercial bike selling for $699.00 w/ free shipping I found on NordicTrack site. To tout and intentionally sell a feature that NordicTrack knows is defective and useless, is fraud, false advertising, and criminal.
I wrote to ICON, my DA, State AG, Utah's AG, the BBB and the FTC. ICON AND ITS BRANDS HAVE NO CONSCIENCE. The ICON Board and Executives should be brought before the courts. There were other significant issues, but, for space I am not addressing them here. This Safety and Health issue that may cause stroke and death is the salient one. I have found many other reviews for this same issue. Angry - you bet!!!
My positive intent is to warn other consumers about this safety and health hazard that may cause stroke or heart attack. It is my positive intent to also warn consumers that Icon Health and Fitness considers the flawed and defective hand grip pulse rate to be working as designed, i.e., never stabilizing and consistently going from 60 to 160 pulse rates a minute. It is my positive intent to warn consumers that Icon Health and Fitness has a policy not to inform consumers of how to contact their executive offices, or their executives. Icon also has a president's team, but again, policy is not to tell consumers about it.

|Civic Hall - Guildford
|08 May 2003
|by Marc Harry
I've seen getting on for 20 Rick solo shows and this was the best by miles and miles. I was sat dead centre on the 2nd row back - the PA in proper stereo was great and the view wonderful.
The gig began (as I guess all those on this tour) with the announcement about Ashley being in...) I had no problem at all with this; not that I have anything against other vocalists but Ashley and Rick is like Brandy and Alexander! In fact, as the opening riff of 'Journey' started then the original vocalist started to sing with that big, full band sound behind it was like being transported by some magical time machine (...oooh, glad they didn't do 'Make me a Woman'...) - as I looked along the row of seats nearly everyone sat through almost the whole of part one with a smile on their face...my son, Morgan, has just finished a big 'No Earthly Connection' kick so he was thrilled with these tracks. Rick's Moogs sounded better than ever, penetrating and clear without hurting your ears, Lee's bass was positively thumping as he emulated everyone from Chris Squire to Mark King at various parts of the show...in fact, just admiring his 'flashy' guitars was an entertainment in itself!
Wop's expanded kit was enormous - he had a lengthy, but inventive, drum solo in part 2. This was not the usual 'look how fast I can play' rock drum solo but almost a composition in itself. I (like many) am usually bored by drum solos (unless it's Carl Palmer!) but Tony held my interest via the interplay between acoustic and electric drums and the use of some complex and unusual rhythmic devices.
As for Ant, he was absolutely sublime all evening. For a guy who's been through what he has so recently he seemed not just to play a blinder but looked every bit as if he was savouring every moment. One of the best virtuoso solo guitar shows I've ever seen - he seemed to be battling with himself to better his previous solo (I was reminded of the battle between Scott Gorham and Snowy White way back when I saw Thin Lizzy about the time Rhapsodies was released!!!!!
And so to Ashley...love his voice or not we all have to admit he has a bit of a reputation for 'just missing' a few notes here and there :o) I can honestly say that, with the slight exceptions of the new 'Out There' songs he gave as faultless a demonstration of intonation you could ever wish for. He is much more slimline than I've ever seen him before and fitter than ever (so he told me afterwards...it seems he's been spending the 2 years since he was last on the road - that time as emergency cover for a larynxially challenged Ramon - doing light tasks like bricklaying and he says his lung capacity has increased accordingly!) Some of the notes he hit were very high - long sustained top Bs were commonplace. The only allowances made for his part were a music stand and cribsheet for 'Out There' and 'Cathedral' and some 'sensitive' sound mixing on the former. He was often kept lower in the mix on these songs, especially at the beginnings of phrases until he was 'in' and comfortable.)
Rick though, as ever, was the star of the show. Behind a very expansive array of Roland, Korg, Gem and Moog synths (at least) he controlled the performances with all the professionalism we have come to expect. For me the greatest innovation for this tour was the 'finger-cam' - at last I was able to study Rick's fingers close up, watching the patterns, seeing how he manipulated the moog portamento controls, observe the patterns and - even better - the keys the band were playing in! WOW!!!! Keep this IN guys, if you're looking for feedback...absolute 'techie heaven' for sad old wannabes like me!!!
One of the best ten gigs I've ever attended!

Ballentine Vineyards
- Address:
Ballentine Vineyards
2820 St Helena Highway North
St. Helena , CA
- Phone:
- (707) 963-3493

- $0 Tasting Fee
- Visit this winery
Ballentine Vineyards consists of 3 properties including Pocai Ranch, Crystal Springs Vineyard, and the Betty's Vineyard. The winery currently produces 10,000 cases of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Syrah, with plans to also make Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Sirah in the near future. Proprietors Van Ballentine and Betty Pocai met when they were in elementary school and got married in the 1950s.
Betty's family established vines on Pocai Ranch and Van owns vineyards between the towns of St Helena and Calistoga. In 1884, Libero Pocai, (Betty's grandfather), left Lucca, Italy and moved to San Francisco, California where he married Maria Cristofani. After the 1906 earthquake, Libero and Maria bought 60 acres near the town of Calistoga in the Northern Napa Valley.
Soon after purchasing his property from T.H. Steele, Libero planted Zinfandel, Merlot, Petite Sirah, Gamay, and Charbono. In 1912, he built a winery and began making wine under the L. Pocai and Sons Napa Valley Wines label after the 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st.
This was a time wine most of the Pre-Prohibition Napa wineries had long since shut their doors. The winery's Zinfandel, Claret, and Gamay each won awards at the California State Fair during the 1940s and 1950s. Libero's sons, Frank and Henry, ran the winery until 1963 when they began selling their grapes to other producers. Frank's daughter, Betty, grew up on the family's Pocai Ranch and went to school in Calistoga.
In 1920, John Ballentine, (Van's father), bought 160 acres vineyards and a stone winery. After the 18th amendment was repealed by the 21st, John was one of the first to bond a Napa Valley winery, which he named, Dear Park.
John made his first vintage under the Dear Park label in 1933 and persevered until 1959. During these years, Van was instrumental in assisting his father. After serving in the Navy during the late 1940s, he worked for the Christian Brothers for several years as well.
These were some of the most difficult years for small wineries, and the fact that they stayed in business is a testament to the family's work ethic. David and Kinta Clark bought the production facility in 1979.
Luckily, this was not the end of Van's career in the wine industry. In 1944, he bought what is now called Betty's Vineyard just north of Greystone in the St Helena AVA. Additionally, in 1949, Van shrewdly bought a separate piece of land near Howell Mountain which he named Crystal Springs Vineyard.
Despite the long history of Van and Betty's families in the Napa Valley, they have only been making wine under the Ballentine Vineyards label since 1992. Production facilities were built on the Home Vineyard 3 years later.
This historic Pocai Ranch is located northeast of the town of Calistoga off of Silverado Trail. Ballentine produces reserve wines under the "Bg" label with grapes from this property. This refers to the soil type which is classified as Bale gravelly loam. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, and Chenin Blanc are planted. Yields average 3 to 4 tons per acre.
Crystal Springs Vineyard is situated near the Howell Mountain AVA in the northeastern part of the Napa Valley. This property is planted with 16 acres of Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Petit Verdot. The Syrah vines are some of the oldest in Napa.
The 25 acre Betty's Vineyard is also the location of the couple's winery and beautiful Victorian home. The vines are mainly Merlot, but some Syrah was recently added. 2002 was the first vintage of Betty's Vineyard Syrah.
Ballentine Vineyards makes a number of different wines exclusively with grapes grown on the family's 3 properties. Some of their recent releases include the 2003 Betty's Vineyard Syrah, 2001 Syrah Old Vines, 2001 Integrity (blend of 58% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon), 2002 Zinfandel, 2001 Block 9 Zinfandel Reserve, 2002 Merlot, and 2003 Cabernet Franc.

Who is a liar, Future Arc #04 is the seventh episode of Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School and the fourth episode of Future Arc. It first aired on August 1, 2016.
Kyoko Kirigiri decides it's time for her to put her detective skills to work, and goes to the boardroom to investigate. Kyosuke Munakata and Juzo Sakakura continue their chase after Makoto Naegi escapes. However, Kyosuke comes to realize just how much Chisa Yukizome's death has affected him.
Before the opening, Monokuma gives us a short summary on some moments that happened in previous episodes. Kazuo Tengan tried to negotiate with Juzo Sakakura, but Juzo told him that acting like a chairman won't stop anything and that there is no reason to obey him. Then, Juzo throws a chair at Kazuo, but he dodged, and eventually hit the pipe. Juzo hits Kazuo from behind, and advances on Kyoko with the chair. Ryota tried to stop Juzo, but he kicks Ryota into Kyoko, and Kyoko suffers an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Ruruka and Sonosuke attempt to stop Seiko with some traps they set. The rumbling from the explosions, unnerve Aoi and Miaya. Juzo turns and narrowly dodges a tiny metal object. Kazuo emerges from the smoke, and Juzo throws the chair at Kazuo, who calmly pushes it away. Juzo goes to punch Kazuo, but hesitates, and Kazuo knocks him out with a single elbow to the gut. The trio tie Juzo up, and then Aoi and Miaya show up. Aoi hugs Kyoko in relief, and Kyoko echoes the sentiment. Aoi notes that Kyoko is hurt, and Ryota blames himself for Kyoko's injury. Ryota laments his failure to help anyone and wonders why he can't be more like Makoto. Aoi reminds him that he helped her. Kyoko also adds that they are all still here because of him.
As Ryota smiles, Kyosuke voice echoes through out the building, and explains he has captured Makoto and is planning to execute him. Kyoko notes it's a trap, and offers to go talk to Kyosuke. Kazuo says it is not her place and tells her to let him negotiate with Kyosuke. Makoto comes to, after being knocked unconscious. Kyosuke explains that he feels Makoto has to die because the attacker could set up a pasty, and be hailed as a hero. They would be able to use Makoto as a way to entrench themselves. Makoto understands Kyosuke's reasoning, but protests the idea of killing everyone, and says the game has driven him insane. Kyosuke asks if Junko was defeated without sacrifice. As Kyosuke places his blade on Makoto's shoulder, it is knocked out of his hand by a shot from Kazuo's chuusen. As Kyoko walks the halls, she thinks back to Kazuo volunteering to go in her place. Aoi and Miaya also volunteer to go with Kazuo, who asks Ryota to escort Kyoko due to her injury. Kyoko returns to the boardroom where Koichi is. Kyoko asks what he is doing there, and Koichi says the safest place is to be with a world class sleuth. He goes to put his hand on Kyoko's shoulder, but she slaps it away, and proceeds to examine Chisa's body.
Back in the communications room, Kazuo says that love can drive a man mad, and notes that Kyosuke has been running himself ragged since they found Chisa's body. Kazuo fires more shots from his chuusen to keep Kyosuke pinned down while Aoi rescues Makoto. Makoto hangs onto the back of Miaya's chair, and Kazuo tells the trio to go on without him. Kazuo tells Makoto he believes he is the Ultimate Hope, which upsets Kyosuke. Juzo continues looking for his opponents, and sees Makoto, Miaya, and Aoi running. Juzo chases after them, but spots Kyosuke and Kazuo fighting on a walkway. Juzo wants to help fight Kazuo, but Kyosuke tells him to follow Makoto and the others. Meanwhile, Sonosuke and Ruruka are trying to keep Seiko blocked from the room they are in. Sonosuke wants Ruruka to go first, but she refuses to leave him. Ruruka begs Seiko to stop, and reminds them that they used to be best friends. Seiko snarls that it is way too late to play the nostalgia card, and says they let her get expelled from Hope's Peak Academy. Sonosuke reminds Seiko that he and Ruruka also got expelled. Seiko knocks Sonosuke and Ruruka away, and they flee up the stairs as Seiko breaks through the door, and continues to chase them.
Up on the walkway, Kazuo and Kyosuke continue their fight. Kyosuke is surprised when Kazuo is able to safety stop his sword swing, and he then throws Kyosuke across the room. Kazuo observes that Kyosuke is cynical and naive; a mistake that could cost lives. Kyosuke says it is a regrettable price to pay, but necessary. Kazuo asks if Chisa was a necessary sacrifice. Kyosuke attacks and Kazuo allows Kyosuke to slice his hand in half. Kyosuke is shocked, and Kazuo says Kyosuke is even more confused than he thought, before sending them both plummeting from the walkway. Aoi, Makoto, and Miaya stop running thinking they are safe, but Monomi notes someone is following them. She volunteers to take on their persuer by herself. Miaya and Monomi confront Juzo and fire a barrage of missiles at him. Just below the walkway, Kazuo has been impaled on a piece of rubar and Kyosuke is just slightly injured from the fall. Kyosuke admits he thought Kazuo had lost his fangs, and was hiding behind a veil of ethics. He admits he has been ready to kill Kazuo for sometime, but now he has had a change of heart and wants to know what Kazuo is thinking. Juzo notes that Miaya has gone postal, before Monomi announces their super weapon as Miaya gets it ready. Juzo kicks Miaya in the head, knocking her and her wheelchair over, which puts Monomi out of commission. As Juzo walks away, the camera zooms in on Miaya's eyes, revealing she is just a robot being controlled by Monaca Towa, who is annoyed that she has to reboot.
The following are in order of appearance:
- Juzo Sakakura

The Conn Smythe Trophy is awarded annually to the player judged most valuable to his team in the National Hockey League's Stanley Cup playoffs. The player is selected following the final game of the playoffs by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. The trophy was first presented in 1964 in honour of Conn Smythe, former coach, manager and owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, the only Maple Leaf to win the award was Dave Keon (1967). Two-time winners are Bobby Orr (1970 and 1972), Bernie Parent (1974 and 1975), Wayne Gretzky (1985 and 1988), Mario Lemieux (1991 and 1992) and Sidney Crosby (2016, 2017) while Patrick Roy won the award three times (1986, 1993, 2001). Five players have won the trophy despite their team losing the Stanley Cup Final: Roger Crozier (1966), Glenn Hall (1968), Reggie Leach (1976), Ron Hextall (1987) and Jean-Sébastien Giguère (2003).
The Art Ross Trophy is awarded annually to the player who leads the National Hockey League in scoring points during the regular season. If there is a tie at the end of the season, the trophy is awarded to the player with the most goals. The trophy was donated in 1948 by Arthur Howey Ross, general manager of the Boston Bruins. Several players have won the award multiple times, including Wayne Gretzky (10 times), Gordie Howe and Mario Lemieux (6 times), Phil Esposito and Jaromir Jagr (5), Stan Mikita (4), and Bobby Hull and Guy Lafleur (3).
Founded in 1979, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television (ACCT) is a national non-profit professional association dedicated to the promotion, recognition and celebration of exceptional achievements in Canada's film, television and digital media industries.

Bungie is throwing a party next week in Seattle to celebrate all things Halo, an event that just so happens to coincide with the release of Halo 3: ODST. Should you go?
Well, Halo 3: ODST creative director Joseph Staten from Bungie and Halo franchise development director Frank O'Connor from 343 Industries will be there, rubbing elbows with the crowd. Bungie and 343 folks will also be hold panels that touch on the creation of ODST and upcoming projects like Halo Legends and Halo Waypoint. Look, if you want to gorge on Halo things you'd best plan for a trip to Seattle.
Halo 3: ODST will also be playable, but we'd imagine that the hardcore fans willing to travel may have already scared up a copy by then or secured a place in line at some midnight launch.
The "Halo Franchise Celebration and Halo 3: ODST Launch Event" happens Monday, Sept. 21 at the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle. More details at the Facebook event page.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
I said it completely without irony: "It's such a good thing I have therapy tomorrow!"
And I realized, counting backward on my fingers, that I have been in therapy for 21 years, more than half of my life. My adventures in mental health are old enough to drink! I feel like I ought to throw my therapist a party or something.
In all honesty, my first experiences with therapy were not entirely my idea. I was 13 years old, living with my grandparents, fresh back to the States from a two-year stint in Thailand. I'd gone overseas with my parents; my dad was there to build a golf course.
At that point, even though I'd lived in the same house for 10 years, I'd gone to a variety of public and private schools (remind me, one day, to tell you about how I didn't actually finish kindergarten) in a variety of counties in the Atlanta area. I'd started 8th grade at an international school in Bangkok (three hours north of where my dad lived) and finished it at a home-school-in-a-house in Pattaya -- the resort town where the golf course was located.
The culture shock of going to small-town north Florida was a whole lot bigger than it had been going from Atlanta to Bangkok (cities are unique creatures but they have commonalities that make them easier for me to navigate than small towns). And so my family decided it would be a good idea for me to have someone outside the family to talk to.
My mom and I have a ... difficult relationship. I don't talk about it much in print. But that was also a factor.
They also decided I should take tennis lessons, to my ever-lasting confusion. I mean... tennis? The therapy lasted a lot longer than me practicing my backhand.
So, I was 13 years old and going to see a child psychologist. Her name was Charlotte. I could probably look it up in my medical records, but I have no memory of her last name. She introduced herself as Charlotte, told me to call her Charlotte and I always referred to her as Charlotte. In hindsight, I have to smile at how effective such a basic gesture of trust building was.
Once a week, I went into Charlotte's office. It was bright, well-lit and very comfortable. I knew she specialized in talking to kids, and I felt like I was probably on the upper end of the age range she was set to accommodate. I thought this because I spent a lot of time finger painting in Charlotte's office.
Finger painting is still oddly soothing to me, even as an adult. It's a very tactile experience, and since it's meant to be abstract, you don't have to stress as much about accuracy of representation.
It was, I'm sure, just a way to distract me so I would be more inclined to talk to her. It's amazing how some kids (and by some kids I totally mean me) will open up when they have something else to look at -- when there isn't the oppressive weight of adult attention locked onto them. I was, even more then than I am now, concerned about getting my fingers dirty. But the texture of the paint and the smoothness of the paper were kind of irresistible.
Charlotte's other distractor was solitaire. A well-thumbed deck of playing cards and a flat surface -- I sat across a table from her, rather than a desk. One of my clearest memories from that time (my memory of my childhood and adolescence is actually kind of spotty -- which isn't unusual for kids dealing with trauma) is objecting to her moving cards for me. There was a possible move... but I didn't want to make it yet, in case something else opened up that I needed that card for.
To this day, that is one of the most powerful revelations I have ever had about my own personal character. I am a just in case person, a worst-case-scenario person, a planner-aheader person.
In fact, I am sometimes hobbled by my need to sort out all the various hypothetical situations. "What if" is both my favorite and least favorite idea ever.
It has been suggested to me that one reason I stay in therapy is that I started it in the first place -- the criticism is that therapy is a self-perpetuating need. There's something to that, though I don't think it's a bad thing. Once you start having a sounding board, an external ear, it's hard to give that up. And I don't actually think you should have to give that up. Like, some therapy is a temporary thing and that's made of awesome sauce. But ongoing therapy doesn't mean you are any more or less damaged as a person, y'all.
I don't skip my pap smear just because there's nothing weird seeping out of my uterus. It makes sense that I would also keep some sort of eye on my general mental health.
This is probably the part where I tell you, Hey, I'm all jacked up in the head, too!
While I struggle with that specific label (I don't like being pathologized, much less stigmatized), in addition to specific seeds sown during my childhood, I am bipolar. I have hypomania, which means I wind up with fewer depressive episodes (though I still get those -- hello, last two-and-a-half months of my life!) and more mild manic phases. For me, that looks like compulsive thought patterns, insomnia and hyperactivity.
I talk about this crap because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person in the world who has scrubbed a plastic tablecloth with a toothbrush (I was 9 for that incident) (it was so satisfying) because the hyper focus felt so good. Okay, maybe I am the only person who's done that in particular. But still! The point stands!
People are like this. I've been in therapy for 21 years. It's my normal.

Development has been at the very heart of Queen Anne's for over 130 years. It was the founding principle of the Grey Coat Foundation, set up at the end of the 17th Century, when eight merchants gathered together and dedicated their time, money and business acumen to the foundation of a pioneering school that not only taught its pupils but also ensured that they were prepared for life after school. Today, Queen Anne's is one of the five Foundation Schools that are following their principles today.
As one of the oldest girls schools in the country we have led, and continue to lead, with our innovative approaches to teaching and our state-of-the-art buildings and facilities , preparing our girls for life outside the school gates and underpinning our key aim: to provide excellence in education.
In recent years we have invested significantly: The Space (Sixth Form Centre), the Muriel Library, the Morgan Sports Centre and the science block are just a few of the physical changes that have already taken place. There have been the changes in the way the girls have learnt too, epitomised today by the ground-breaking BrainCanDo project.
However no school can stand still and as ever we are looking ahead. We are ambitious and focusing on the future. We must continue to offer girls an education that prepares them for a rapidly-changing and ever more competitive world. We must enable our pupils to reach their full potential and compete in all fields – academic, sport and the arts.
With this in mind, we have developed an ambitious, wide-reaching vision which covers nearly every aspect of the school. In 2014 the school created a Development Board, chaired by Sue Laing, a past parent, and comprises senior school staff, governors, current and past parents and old girls.
The Board's objective is to advise and prioritise, shape and communicate and importantly implement the school's investment and fundraising strategies, working with the Governors and management of the school. In 2015 we appointed our first Development Officer, Charlotte Wootton, a past parent. Charlotte will be running the office on a day to day basis and be the first point of contact for our supporters.
The Development Board are delighted to be part of these exciting plans and to be actively fundraising to protect our history and embrace the future. We will be keeping everyone updated on the specific projects currently being planned.
The Board's objective is to advise and prioritise, shape and communicate and importantly implement the school's investment and fundraising strategies, working with the Governors and management of the school.
Development Board members:
- Julia Harrington, Headmistress
- Edward Hellings, Director of Finance and Administration
- Charlotte Wootton, Development Office representative and past parent
- James Underhill, Development Consultant
- Sue Laing, Chair of the Development Board and past parent
- Marisa Bucknall, current parent
- Margaret Corbally, old girl
- Micky Denehy, past parent
- Tim Green, current parent
- Mark Hamilton-Bowker, current parent
- Tim Jones, past parent
- Sarah Pavey, current parent
- Glenn Turner, current parent
- Gill Turner, current parent
- Chris Khoo, past parent
- Ric Kipling, current parent
'I believe great school development needs leadership – people who love the school and are committed to leading the way in the creation of a culture of support.' Sue Laing, Chair of the Development Board
If you would like to chat about any aspect of development at Queen Anne's, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Charlotte Wootton or Jo Sunderland in the Development Office at the School:

Generally, we recommend to have two backup servers, one is doing backups (located in the production site) and the second server is managing replication jobs (located in the DR site). In this case you're fully protected from losing your production site and production backup server.

Larry Kudlow "Grateful" That Japan Disaster Worse Than Economic Disaster
Perhaps this should be chalked up to an unfortunate moment of extreme insensitivity. CNBC's Larry Kudlow tried to frame the disaster resulting from the tsunami in Japan to the economic meltdown, declaring, "The human toll here," he declared, "looks to be much worse than the economic toll and we can be grateful for that."

Cardiothoracic Surgeons Perform 500th Procedure
Columbia, Ill. resident Jim Gummersheimer was working out at his local YMCA recently when he collapsed. He awakened at St. Anthony's Medical Center, where he underwent a quadruple off-pump bypass procedure Dec. 16 with cardiothoracic surgeon Seiichi Noda, MD.
Jim's left anterior descending artery or "widowmaker" was 100 percent blocked, and three other arteries were 90 percent blocked. Fast action by nurses and a paramedic working out at the YMCA that day restored Jim's heartbeat by using an automated external defibrillator and chest compressions.
"This is an example of how important every step of a patient's care is, from what happens before they get to the hospital until they get to the hospital, until they get to the operating room," Dr. Noda said. "This particular scenario has a 75-percent chance of the patient dying before they ever get to the hospital."
Jim Gummersheimer now is doing well. His heart bypass procedure marked the 500th heart surgery of the cardiothoracic surgery program of St. Anthony's Heart and Vascular Institute. Its first patient, Michael Albers, underwent a coronary artery bypass grafting procedure a year and a half ago.
"I knew my life was in good hands," Michael said.
Since it was established, St. Anthony's cardiothoracic surgery practice has implemented the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure. Dr. Noda's partner, Umraan Ahmad, MD, was part of the original U.S. trials to develop the technology in 2008 and has performed hundreds of the procedures. The practice also started the off-pump heart bypass program and the practice of rapid extubation, or awakening the patient and removing the breathing tube while still in the operating room.
"We're just really excited to bring this level of cardiac surgery to St. Anthony's and to be able to bring these new technologies into the hospital," Dr. Noda said. "We've been able to develop a practice where we've been able to give people the care that they require while offering the highest technology that medicine has to offer."
Dr. Ahmad agreed.
"Five hundred operations is a sign of the hard work everyone is doing at St. Anthony's Medical Center," Dr. Ahmad said. "Beyond Dr. Noda and myself and our staff, this includes our cardiologists, cardiac anesthesiologists, perfusionists, nurse practitioners, Operating Room staff and nurses, hospital nursing staff and Intensive Care Unit staff. I'm excited to do another 500."

COSCO to convert VLCC's to ore carriers
China's COSCO Shipyard Group has secured VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) to VLOC (Very Large Ore Carrier) conversion contracts involving ten ships.
It has also won an order for eight 57,000 dwt bulk carriers.
Together, the conversions and the bulker contracts are worth $563 million of which $250 million is for the conversions and $313 million for the newbuilds. The orders have been placed by what COSCO describes as "several international customers."
The projects will be carried out at COSCO's Zhoushan, Dalian and Nantong shipyards.
Each VLCC conversion is expected to take approximately 160-180 days to complete and progressive deliveries are expected by the third quarter of next year.
The eight bulk carriers are targeted for progressive deliveries from May 2009 to March 2010.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Errr....really? Not exactly my philosophy. I'd try improving stuff which didn't need improving...normally up to the point where I just ruined them completely. Because life without failures is boring. Wow! That's so going to my book of lame unquotable quotes.
So, when I hauled these beautiful freebie fruits from the office, I just had to do something with them instead of feasting on their sweet freshness.
Easy Mixed Fruit Crumble
I grabbed a pear, a fuji apple and a star fruit for this treat, see how gorgeous they are sprinkled with tiny bit of sugar and ground cinnamon....all pale yellow, loveliest shade of pink and pale green. I wish I could wear them!
You can leave the skin of the fruits, simply cut them into bite sized chunks and toss them into an oven proof pan (I used a rectangular loaf pan), sprinkle with a bit of sugar (or not at all) and ground cinnamon.
Crumble Topping
(adapted from here)
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or caster sugar)
- 1/2 cup firm butter (cut into cubes)
- dashes of cinnamon
Mix everything in a mixing bowl, mix them about with your hands, spread the dough on top of the fruit, dump the whole thing into a preheated oven (200C) and bake until golden brown (mine took about 15 minutes).
Now, now, now. What's up with the "hand job" thing?
Ehm, when I was working on the crumble topping with my hands, the feeling of touching the cold and satiny butter...the stickiness of the whole concoction...it sent me back to the moment when I was back in Indonesia, learning how to cook for the very first time.
Do you remember the first time you had to work with raw ingredients? The first time you had to touch a chunk of raw meat?
Growing up in Indonesia, dealing with food using my bare hands should have not been something strange for me. I enjoy eating the most when I could wrestle the food with my bare hands.
But raw ingredients, especially meat and fish....for me, it was all ew ew ew ew ew EW! It was all soft, springy and slippery...it smelt weird (not good weird)...it was nothing like the end products, which I love very much! Again, ew!
But once I got used to it, I kinda love working in the kitchen with my bare hands (except when touching the hot oven/pot/pans)...I get to feel my ingredients and learn to see if they are good or bad, seeing how they evolve from one form to another, from fresh to fabulous.
Back to my easy crumble...well, I think anything would taste fantastic with sweet and crunchy crumble topping, and these fruits were no exception.

Ella Eyre & Neon Jungle Show Some 'Attitude' At Hot 100 Party
Ella Eyre goes sheer for the Attitude Magazine Hot 100 Party at Paramount Club on Wednesday evening (July 16) in London, England.
The 20-year-old British singer was joined at the bash by Amelia Lily and Neon Jungle.
Recently speaking with HungerTV, Ella opened up about the pressure surrounding women in the music business.
"I think it depends. There's a lot of pressure for women to use their sexuality in music. For me, ultimately, when I'm listening to a song, I just like to know that it's honest. I don't think there's more pressure on girls than there is on boys," she shared.
Ella continued, "Everyone is pushed to succeed. I always say that ultimately it's down to the music. All of us up-and-coming artists are in the same boat. If anything, I think there's more pressure for people like me and Sam Smith because we've had number ones, and we want to get another one on our own terms! All you can do is hope that people like your music."

Silicon Valley Onsite consulting anyone ?
Last time I was in Silicon Valley in April after MySQL Users Conference, this time I'm planning to spend July 30 – August 2nd in Silicon Valley after OSCON visiting friends and customers. If you're located in Silicon Valley or San Francisco area and interested in some onsite MySQL Consulting I can offer 1 day and half day visits during these days with no added cost (meaning you just pay for consulting time, and Hotel and Travel is on me)
This time could be well spent to have mini-training on MySQL high performance design operations or development practices, to look into your application architecture and check it against growth requirements or simply look into performance challenges you might have.

Animated 'The Lion King' Series Coming To Disney Junior
Everyone, meet Kion — Simba and Nala's son!
Disney Junior is bringing reigning King Simba and his family to television in the fall of 2015 with a movie and television series in 2016.
The show, titled The Lion Guard, begins as Kion, the second-born cub of Simba and Nala, assumes the role of leader of the Lion Guard, a group of the bravest and brightest tasked with preserving the Pride Lands.
Instead of assembling a team of young lions to serve with him, Kion challenges tradition by calling upon friends he believes are the best choices — Bunga, a fearless honey badger; Fuli, a confident cheetah; Beshte, a happy-go-lucky hippo; and Ono, an intellectual egret.
Th stories will also include special appearances by Kion's deceased grandfather Mufasa, Timon the meerkat, Pumbaa the warthog, Rafiki the mandrill, Zazu the hornbill, and Kion's older sister, Kiara, the future Queen of the Pride Lands.
ARE YOU EXCITED to see Simba and Nala's family on TV?
