Orgoglio Contadino - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - AROMA Chilli Pepper - 6bott x 0.25l
Our grandmothers had a little secret to make their remarkably tasty dishes. A secret that all the pantries once held. In well-preserved bottles and protected from light, it kept the best oil, and the
In well-preserved bottles and protected from light, it kept the best oil, and the flavour was left to season with spices and aromas. The doses and infusion times to get these precious dressings, were handed down from mother to daughter.
The essential ingredient was always the same; a high quality oil, just like ours. We have taken this tradition, and we can offer a selection of our very precious oils, scented with the best offered in the land. Citrus, spices, flavourings; you'll be amazed how many different flavours can marry perfectly together.
There are the classics, red pepper and garlic, typical for pasta; more unusual ones, such as basil and peppermint, fresh tasting, ideal on vegetables; or even orange or lemon, fantastic on fish. They even have oils with turmeric and black pepper, or Ginseng, ginger and tarragon, for those who love the flavours of exotic cuisine.
Discover them one by one, and also give scope to your imagination. Enough a few drops of our flavoured oils to turn simple dishes into haute cuisine delights.

The Cooperative Agricultural Progress is located in Terlizzi (Bari), little town at about 30 km from Bari, renowned in Italy and Europe for the cultivation and production of plants and flowers. One of the typical characteristics of the city is the production of Extra Virgin Olive Oil; in fact, 60% of the national total is produced in our area where, thanks to the production of two famous varieties, Coratinae and the Ogliarola Bari, the oil produced is really the existing TOP in Italy.
The cooperative besides producing Extra Virgin Olive Oil 100% Italian track, also comply with the specification PDO, increasingly over the years has increased its investment in the production of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
The Cooperative Agriculture Progress also produces figs, rosettes, cherries and apricots very good quality.
The production is always marked by respect for the environment and consumers through the use of facilities and fertilized the less invasisi and possible pollutants. Each member of the cooperative is primarily a farmer in the most positive sense of the word and true. This for us is a matter of pride. "PRIDE FARMER".

Evoking Character of a Place Through the Eyes of its People
Joseph Brookover
Project_Re-Centering Delhi
The explosive development of New Delhi, India after Imperial British rule began a process of expansion away from the river highlighted by a frayed urban fabric and lack of a shared social identity. The 1920's masterplan by Lutyens, in the heart of the city, along which governmental institutions are located epitomizes this physical and psychological divide; Lutyens' Plan to this day represents the continuation of a political power structure which resists moments of reflection and shared identity necessary for the development of a cohesive society, leading to issues of growth, waste, water, health, war, and oppression.
The urban project draws inspiration from literature, the people from Rana Dasgupta's Capital, looking to create a situation in which a shared identity can emerge. It analyzes the city by transect, not zone, and seeks to reveal the latent identity and memory of the urban fabric shared by its people. New transects and urban zones are divulged retroactively, stitching together the city and creating new relationships and memories.
The urban project stitches together the existing urban fabrics through the introduction of new systems of ecology, water, and buildings. A new cultural museum is founded along the site; a Cultural Transect for an Independent India. Independence is a march from oppression towards transcendence in which history and identity is constructed through a sequence of events; a progression of ancient forms and landscapes found across the diverse regions of India. This sequence creates a network between the past, present, and future; nature and city; culture, education, the arts, creating a shared democratic space. The project allows identity to emerge through moments of recognition and shared experience of a free people.
Who influences you graphically?
Currently there is no direct unifying influence on my graphical work, I am still early in my career and seeking a lens of expression.
However, I am very interested in graphics that evoke the character of a place through the eyes of its people. The street photography of Brassaï has particular interest to me in the way the essence of Paris was captured through its people. For this specific project, based in New Delhi, India, I was interested in conveying acts of resolve and play while adding missing moments, particularly those of calm and reflection.
All the images with the exception of the aerial plan speak the same language, what is the reason behind this difference?
The aerial plan is to be understood on the objective level, by diagram, line, zone. It is not about an experience of texture, light or shadow; by its very scalar nature the aerial plan is removed from the direct experience of those that traverse the site. There is also the simple nature of clarity in the drawing. Shades of grey show clear delineations between existing and proposed, softscape and hardscape. Color is used to denote the occupation of territory and various structures at play across the site. I felt the introduction of additional textures or unifying colors for the sake of graphical continuity would confuse the design intent.
You explore your proposal through all means of representation with the exception of the axonometric, why so? To what extent might this objective means of representation reinforce or weaken the proposal?
This is a great question! My answer derives directly from the classification as axonometric as an "objective" means of representation. The project narrative and design proposal is all about creating moments of reflection, atmosphere, and useable space based in the direct experience of people on the site. Total commitment to that intent required that no axonometric be used (no drawings of the buildings were shown during the review even, just the series of renderings along with the masterplan and accompanying diagrams) because the project is not about the singular object, but about space for people.
The buildings were generated from the typical act of drawing in plan, section, and elevation, but drawings were completed only after the review as a form of analysis. The plan existing as the only line drawing (because plans are the genesis of a building) and elevations existing to show formal composition, materiality, and the play of light.
Accordingly, if the axonometric were to be used for objective means, it would most strengthen the representation of the masterplan, something I will keep in mind for future development.
What is the reason behind the choice of a 'paper' texture as backdrop?
I wanted to convey a sense of time through the representation while also including the qualities of India that I experienced. The paper texture works hand in hand with the the painterly qualities of the sky, the weathered buildings, materials, and the morning sunlight to question when these building physically exist. Are these aged photos? An act of painting by someone at the place? A drawing of a future proposition?
Joe Brookover is currently a 2016 Master of Architecture Candidate at The University of Virginia where he serves as a Design Education Fellow and is lead editor for the Catalyst III publication. He received a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from The Ohio State University in 2012 and worked professionally for three years.
Like many, he finds that design is often commodified in traditional architectural practice and is actively pursuing a career which integrates multiple disciplines to leverage new modes of practice. His interest is in a critical architecture which draws inspiration from existing physical and cultural contexts; creating spaces which connect and respond to those who use it, often sited in diffuse urban territories. He believes that the next century will be about breaking down large societal systems which have sought to perfect the way people live and searches new opportunities for architecture that move beyond isolated form-making.

13 weeks pregnant: your baby
It is the thirteenth and final week of your first trimester and from now on your baby's growth will be rapid. Fortunately, her body's growth will speed up while her head growth slows down, making her a lot less alien-like than she is at the minute.
Right now your baby is about the size of a peach, weighs between ½ and ¾ ounces or 13-20 grams and is double the length she was in week 7! This week your baby's sex can be determined outside of the womb, but it is still a bit fuzzy on the ultrasound so you probably can't determine the sex just yet. Your baby's intestines, which we discussed in week 10, have also begun to draw back into his or her abdomen, but if for some reason they don't, omphalocele occurs, a condition that is treatable at birth. Your baby's bones are also hardening and those vocal chords are already getting stronger.
Did you know…In week 13 of pregnancy your baby can move enough to already develop a thumb sucking habit?
What's happening to your body this week?

The right wing relies on simplistic, invariably deceitful rhetoric to hammer their point (and its hidden agenda) home to the "average Joe and Jill." Why does the left - the side with the lion's share of wit and creativity - allow them to get away with it? A modern day Thoreau offers ideas for fighting rhetoric with better rhetoric. Meanwhile, excerpts from a 1935 book by his father, a famed economist contain a warning that has obviously gone unheeded by ExxonMobil, Carlyle, et al. The latest food for thought from Cheryl Seal's column.
The Rhetoric of Global Warming; War and the Private Investor
by Cheryl Seal
with help from Tom and Eugene Staley
Here's a letter from my old friend - and intellectual sparring partner- Tom Staley, who still lives in Maine (where I lived for many years). He makes his home in a rustic (no exaggeration here!) cabin in the woods and has only recently discovered the joys of the Internet. Like Thoreau, after winning a degree from Harvard (two actually), he dropped out and escaped to a simpler life in the woods. Unlike Thoreau, he he has been there many years beyond the two H.D.T felt were his limit at Walden. Tom now devotes himself to art and philosophy and engaging in lively rhetorical arguments whenever he can initate one (in between occasional trips to India).
Thoughts on the Rhetoric of Global Warming and other Points of Left-Right Contention
I read the whole global warming set of three articles ("The Assault on Science and the Environment by the Corporate Propaganda Machine"* See end of article)by you — first rate. (I especially appreciate your point contrasting the neutral tone of real science versus the passion of the phonies — a thing that is sometimes annoying though, too, to our side, because you want those neutral scientist guys to put on another hat now and then and become passionate on the right side. They really hate to do it though, because it reduces their credibility in the scientific arena. My feeling is more of them should be taking off the badge at this point in the problem.
I can confirm your comments about payouts to some scientists (as paid "experts" for industry"). I know a geologist at UMO, Yale trained, who gets 30 grand a year in "research contracts" for himself from the oil industry. He writes occasional, ridiculous, bad op-ed articles for the "Bangor Daily News" (ME.). His wife told me lots of his colleagues get similar money. He's intellectually dishonest in face to face arguments (but I pulverize him anyway — I love flat out debates when I know the facts and feel strongly). Here's a thought: How about a web site devoted frankly, and only, to the best or most effective rhetorical answers to the right's most common arguments (jobs, security, etc..). A site devoted to developing the most powerful (to the average guy) one-liners in reply to the right's rhetoric. Why should they be better at it than us?
Here's a good device for global warming. First, you say "I believe in science as an institution — I don't like it, but I believe in its power and truth... thanks to science I can get on airplanes and fly, cars start, etc.
"Second, you observe, "Science says 'Global warming is real.' " And for the last, you could mention just one intimidating and convincing citation — For ex., "The U.N. sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says such and such — and 99 per cent of climate scientists agree." The technique here is to refuse to ever get in a supposed science debate — just a frank straight appeal to the CONSENSUS science view: We believe in science (like it or not).
Why should the right have better simplified rhetoric than we do? I think it is really a matter of taking the time to investigate and develop very good, strong, appealing and even conclusive simple arguments both in answer to their rhetorical gems on their favorite topics. Your site is obviously directed to the converted--it informs them of more outrages — what would a site look like that would draw a moderate person in? A different enterprise, but maybe as important — you don't want to make someone accept more than is necessary to get them to vote right. For ex, sort of, in the all-important issue of global warming: I would not connect the issue with other environmental issues — as you do once or twice — if I were addressing people I wanted to "convert." It is I think a logically separate issue from pollution, etc. The solution, really, is fairly easy: raise the price of gas and oil. Individual actions (not driving as much) don't count here — it's political action that matters. You don't want people to have to accept more reasoning/argument/morality than is really necessary to get them convinced on the one issue of global warming — they don't have to agree about war, style, or other right left issues.
As Paul Newman said: we want blue collar macho types on our side — what is more macho than defending your wife and family, standing in front of the cabin with a gun, or (similarly) writing letters to fellow citizens about the threat of global warming to all our cabins? We want blue collar macho types on our side, and our rhetoric on critical issue of global warming should be specific and convincing and limited enough to bring them to our side on this issue, where they belong! Every gum-chewing American should be the target of reasoning and rhetoric on this issue, where sarcasm and shotgun rhetoric don't help.
We could call this "alternative website" something like "Basic Rhetoric for John Q"
Your friend,
Hi, Tom,
Thanks for your kind words and thoughts on global warming. I think the rhetoric idea is great! Especially since all the real creativity and wit floating around out there tends to be mostly left of center! We could "rhetoricize" circles around the likes of an Ari Fliescher (who comes up with one half-baked phrase about once every month and beats it into the ground like a railroad tie in a track to nowhere!).
Now, here below, I'm gonna pull out some of your family archives for show and tell and embarrass the heck out of you (what are good friends for?!)!
Best always,
P.S. Have a cup of coffee and a good philosophical argument at the Bagel Shop for me!
War and the Private Investor
Here are some excerpts from "War and the Private Investor," a classic of economic analysis written by Tom's Dad, Eugene Staley. I bet Tom didn't know I actually read some of this weighty tome!! But I did this week and was stunned at how very accurately it assesses the present day situation with corporate monsters prowling the globe looking for trouble.
"Private investments seeking purely business advantage (i.e., unmotivated by political expansionism, balance of power strategy, military considerations, or other reasons of state) have rarely of themselves brought great powers into serious political clashes. It is where an aura of political ambitions has attached to the investments, and especially where the investments have been pushed in for political reasons from the start, that most of the dangerous investment frictions between great states have occurred."
In Chapt. 13. Mr. Staley presents what he calls a "recipe" for conflict caused by international private investment (think ExxonMobil, Carlyle Group...) Staley says this conflict would be most likely to occur if business ventures were pushed forward:
"(1) By citizens of a great power
(2) In a non-industrialized country with a weak and unstable government, or in a partly industrialized or even an advanced country about to experience a social revolution or in a region of disputed sovereignty."
[sounds like every country the U.S. has economically exploited for 75 years!)
3) Under conditions which bring migration of management and entrepreneurship as well as migration of capital, especially in connection with special concessions or franchises rather than under the general laws of the capital-receiving country.(hmm - like the oil company carpetbaggers in South America, Africa, Afghanistan, etc etc?)
(4) With the object, in addition to profit-making, of serving the strategic political and military purposes of the investing country, as expressed by its government in the form of subsidies or some less direct stimulus to investments deemed of national value
(again, this sounds just about every nation we've "helped" in the past 75 years)
(5) In projects connected with the development of transportation and communication routes [or pipelines?] especially those having great strategic value from both the political and economic standpoint, or in the extractive industries [this means oil and mining] associated with the early stages of industrial exploitation in non-industrialized countries.
Pretty darn prophetic....considering, especially, it was written in 1935!

recovery/restart procedures, and sample reports. As the
console operator, you are responsible for running
hundreds, possibly even thousands, of jobs on a regular
basis. Without using the available documentation, even
an experienced operator cannot understand or be
expected to remember exactly how each job is to be set
up and run.
The actual format of the operators documentation
differs, depending on your installations requirements
and SOPS. In some installations, you will find that each
procedure or job has its own folder or notebook. Other
installations may include an entire system (several
jobs), such as personnel or payroll, in one large
notebook. Regardless of how the documentation is
formatted, its basic objectives are to provide you with
complete instructions and to serve as a ready reference.
So take the time to read the documentation. You will
find that from knowledge comes the wisdom to make
the right choice or the right decision every time.
As you have probably realized by now, you have the
prime responsibility for keeping the computer in an
operational state. That is, you are responsible for the
continuous and efficient processing of all types of
program applications. Knowing this, it is essential that
you acquaint yourself with the status of the system
before working on the shift, whether it be on the day
shift, eve shift, or mid shift. Before you assume control
of the shift, you should be aware of its operational state.
Normally, this information is obtained from the
operators currently on duty, the shift supervisor, the
various computer logs and run schedules, and by
monitoring the activities of the system. In essence, you
must examine those indicators that can reveal possible
trouble spots or system malfunctions. For example, ask,
what maintenance activities were accomplished, if any,
on the previous shift(s)? what devices (pieces of
equipment) have been varied offline (those devices
which are not available to the CPU)? what other devices
have not been fully operable? what maintenance
activities, if any, are scheduled during your shift? and
are any applications scheduled that are normally
troublesome, difficult to handle, or prone to producing
errors? Then ask about the work to be done on your
shift, what jobs are scheduled to be run? are all the
tapes, disks, documentation, and other various media
and supplies present and accounted for? if not, have the
appropriate personnel or organizations been
notified-the librarian, data entry, or schedulingto
rectify the problem? This is important, for it ensures you
that the next job to be processed will be input to the
computer system with minimum or no delay. In
determining all these factors, you get a feel for whats
going on and what is to take place during the upcoming
shiftyour shift.
In a production environment, personnel sometimes
get too busy to finish a job or job step. Take that little
extra time to stay organized, especially when it comes to
the paperwork. Keep in mind and help other personnel
understand the importance of being organized, and the
problems that come from having too many things going
on at one time. A misfiled or mislabeled tape can, at
best, mean lost time either in locating it or recreating it.
At worst, it can mean lost data and an unrecoverable
You will find that most AIS installations overlap
each of the shifts from 15 to 30 minutes. This allows
you sufficient time to get acquainted with the jobs
currently being run and provides
shifts and operators.
Throughout this section, we have tried to make one
point clear: you must learn to react quickly to situations
that may affect the processing capabilities of the
computer system. To accomplish this task, you must
have a working knowledge of the operational aspects of
your job. That is, you must understand what procedures
to follow when specific errors arise, know where the
operations manuals are kept and how to use them, know
where the supplies to process jobs are stored (computer
ribbons, paper, tape
, and so on), who to
contact in the event of equipment or program failures
and errors, and what forms are used and for what
purpose. Having a general knowledge of what to do is
particularly important to you as a new operator just
reporting aboard
. You must adjust yourself to this new
environment and learn where things are located as well
as what should be done.
Regardless of the system you are working on, you
must know how to use all the available resources, which
include hardware, software, and people. Operators who
are alert to the requirements of the total system and are
able to understand and use the available resources play a
vital role in the overall efficiency of the system, the
department, and the installation. It is your performance
as a computer operator that often determines the general
attitude of users toward your installation. In developing
a proper attitude toward your work, adhere to a code of

Spirituality has nothing to do with blind faith; it is the principle of awareness that dispels darkness.
Science air-conditions the outer world, spirituality air-conditions the inner world.
Faith is the foundation of everything.
It is the faith and devotion of people, not rituals or ceremonies, that fill temples with spiritual energy.
The hidden power of God is the cause of all that is manifest.
If you have enough faith, any water can become as holy as the Ganges River, but without faith, the Ganges is nothing but ordinary water.

VAMA says 2017 auto sales down 10%
Hung Le
HCMC – Last year saw 272,750 automobiles sold in Vietnam, a 10% decrease against 2016, according to a report which the Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers Association (VAMA) released on January 10.
The report shows over 27,800 cars found buyers last month, up 13% compared to the previous month, but down 16% from a year earlier. This number included more than 20,000 locally assembled vehicles and 7,800 imported ones, up 13% and 11% respectively.
Auto consumption last year was not what the association had expected. VAMA predicted a full-year sales pickup of 10%.
However, the auto sales volume last year was still 27,800 units higher than in 2015, and ranked second behind the 2016 result only in as many years.
The report also reveals that auto sales declined in various segments last year compared to 2016. In particular, the numbers of passenger, commercial, and special-use vehicles sold were over 154,200, 104,600 and 13,800 respectively, down 15%, 2% and 12%.
Meanwhile, the number of imported completely-built-up (CBU) autos rose by 9% year-on-year to 77,790 while that of locally assembled equivalents dropped by 19% to roughly 195,000.
Industry insiders ascribed the decline in the 2017 auto sales to the wait-and-see attitude of many consumers who expect to benefit from import tariffs on CBUs from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) falling to zero from the previous 30%.
In other words, they said, the downtrend in auto sales on the domestic auto market was only temporary and the market holds great potential. Therefore, it is likely the auto market will see strong growth this year and next.
Despite the tariff is down to zero, enterprises still find it difficult to import CBUs as they are required to produce auto quality certificates issued by foreign authorities in line with Government Decree 116/2017/ND-CP on manufacture, assembly and import of autos, which also comes into force early this year. Such certificates do not exist in many countries, even in Japan and the United States.
Many CBUs for sale on the local market are imported prior to this year, and therefore are still subject to the 30% import tariff. As a result, their prices do not significantly decrease as expected.

New model for hepatitis B helps identify potential new therapeutic approach
A promising new avenue for treating hepatitis B has been reported by researchers at Hiroshima University who have developed a new animal model of the disease.
About two million people worldwide have been exposed to hepatitis B virus. Liver transplantation is often necessary to save the lives of patients who have severe liver damage that results from acute overreaction of the immune system. To develop therapies against acute hepatitis, an appropriate animal model is necessary. "The number of patients who can receive liver transplantation is limited, so there is an urgent need to develop new treatment options," said Professor Kazuaki Chayama.
Professor Chayama and his research group used mice with "humanized" livers, and injected them with human blood. They found that hepatitis in these "human hepatocyte chimeric mice" was caused by white blood cells known as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that were specifically targeted to hepatitis B virus. This was very similar to human acute hepatitis B.

Today was an amazing new day when I got to travel alone in different parts of Melbourne using the public transport. Basically, there are 3 modes of public transport in Australia – Train, Bus and Tram. In Melbourne, you can commonly find Tram passing through the roads and they effectively work in tandem with the other lanes of traffic. Metro is the most effective mode of transport commonly used by people travel within the city, connecting different parts of Melbourne.
Melbourne is divided into two zones (zone 1 and zone 2), which has the same metro system connecting all the stations. The travel and use of Metro rail in Melbourne is flawlessly easy and I really admire the punctuality, professionalism in their service. The third is the least used form of transport – Bus. The bus service is mostly used to connect smaller distances, especially by students.
A very interesting aspect is that the entire public transport system transactions in Melbourne is handled by a smart card called "MyKi". The MyKi card can be purchased at any railway station for approximately 6 USD and can be recharged for different amounts. Each time you enter and leave a public transport facility you need to "touch on" and "touch off" promptly. The process will automatically calculate the time and travel fare for your respective journey using the public transport. The smart card can be recharged any time online or at kiosks at railway stations. Remember to collect your bill after each top up / recharge done.
In short, Melbourne (mostly other places in Australia too) is well connected and the public transport system is superb! From my short experience, I would totally recommend the use of the public transport system. In case you want to use your own car, even fuel isn't very expensive here either. Another note I would like to make is the travel experience. Everyone travelling in various modes respect each other's space, you can see most people busy reading or listening to music.
On the roads of Australia, pedestrians are given high priority. You can see cars stopping by and reversing to help people move around. On the flip side, there is strict rules and signals to be followed while crossing roads on foot. Traffic signals, lane traffic rules are religiously adhered to and it was delighting to watch road crossing assistants at work helping out people crossing roads in busy areas.

I remember resolving as a small child to never have children. The years that followed only strengthened the that long-held conviction. I never wanted to fall in love either, because I knew that love meant inevitable suffering and probable heartbreak. Nonetheless I lived a full life filled with vivid people and places and stimulating adventures. I lived in Spain, Honduras, and France. I traveled all over Central America and Europe. I got a graduate degree in Spanish and French literatures. I truly felt as if the world were my oyster.
That's why two faintly pink lines on a pregnancy test shattered my life with a brutality I didn't know was possible. I had just returned from a summer in Paris, France, and in true cliché form I had met a boy there who stole my heart away. He was horrified when I confessed that I was pregnant with his child. And he had no interest in becoming a father. Thus began an utterly miserable pregnancy; I finished up the semester and my seasonal job and returned to my parents' home where I spend the remaining months lying around feeling sorry for myself.
When I went into labor, a week overdue, I was still in denial about the inevitability of giving birth. I lay in bed for 12 hours, muffling my screams into a pillow, before admitting that I just might need to go to the hospital. Another 12 hours later I held my tiny, wriggling daughter in my arms.
My first thought as I stared at my newborn was who are you? I couldn't conceive that this tiny stranger and I would be bonded for eternity: to a life destined to be shared together. It took days, weeks, even months to fully bond with Sofia but she won over my stony heart with her impish smirks and heart-breaking purity. I was slowly being reborn; fear melted into peace and my belief that life was over transformed into a rebirth of sorts. I felt enflamed with love and a desire to pursue my dreams with my daughter by my side.
Currently I work from home so that I can spend time with Sofia [who will be 2 years old in May.] I write for a Texas magazine and also write freelance articles that are often about – who would have guessed – the treasures of motherhood. My deepest writing passion, however, is the novel [large inspired by Sofia] that I am working on. Progress is slow because most of my time is spent with Sofia – exploring the city and having dance parties in our room. We both enjoy trying new foods, listening to live music and watching flamenco performances. Oh, and drawing. We both love expressing ourselves through sidewalk chalk and easel art. Seeing the world through Sofia's eyes is constant creative inspiration, both for my novel and for living my life to the fullest every moment.
I regret not being able to give Sofia a father and am well aware of the pain his absence will eventually cause her [hmm, future article on this perhaps?]. But I do what I can and am proud of the decisions I've made. I don't know where life will take the two of us, only that no matter where we are or what we do we will make it beautiful. As of now I am excited to become a part of the Austin Moms Blog community and share in the experiences of an organization dedicated to making the most of motherhood.

Volume Eyelash Extensions
Volume Eyelash Extensions
So what are Volume Lashes?
Volume lashes are a revolutionary lashing technique where 2 to 5 super fine extensions are applied to one single natural eyelash, creating a wonderfully soft and full look.
Where 2 lash extensions are applied to one natural lash its called 2D and so on up to 6D.
In traditional lash extensions, one eyelash extension is attached to each of your single natural lashes. This can be disappointing and may not give you the desired look if you do not have many natural lashes or have a lash gap. lash gaps can be caused by scars or by a variety of natural causes. If you have few lashes, for whatever reason, volume eyelash extensions are great way to enhance your lashes and make them very full-looking.
At Esteem 2D – 5D Volume sets now give even natural-lash-challenged people the option for volume they have never had before!
Whatever your lash look, volume lashes are suitable for everyday wear and a real treat on special occasions such as weddings, parties or just to feel glam.

Wow! We haven't talked in sooo long. Sorry about that. We have just been so incredibly busy, as you can imagine. So what has been going on??? LOTS!
Recently we got our 30 year old brand new Shipmate kerosene installed. Yes we were warned it is a bad idea, but hey it is new, we have everything we need to install it, time is of the essence, and well we are just a little bit hard in the head. Since hubby and I have never really operated a stove/ oven like this before it took a few tries and setting ourselves on fire before we got the hang of it. We got it now. No need for the fire extinguisher any more.
Naturally… Crab Cakes and Brownies! Well it turns out the oven does not have a wick so I cooked the brownies on the stove. No problema, except that I fell asleep. Whoops! Hubby shut it off just as they were starting to blacken 🙂
Turns out the pump for the kerosene holding tank didn't last long even though it was brand new, 30 years old. So hubby made a new gasket out of some scrap leather. Works awesome now!
Next on the list was to bust out the brand new 30 years old winches. They were all pretty and shiney… yet they would not turn. The grease seemed to have to turn into some type of tar substance. I guess this is common. Nothing a little kerosene can't fix. And hey we got plenty of that now!
In preparation for our big departure we decided to install our cold plate and compressor. We had to make a shelf for the compressor in the engine compartment, which entailed fiberglass, paint, etc. It was a nightmare to get back in the engine room in that awful slanted weird angle, but hey that's boat life, right? It all went rather smoothly. Our "frig" works and we will start making the frig tops/counter tops tomorrow.
Awesome score! A boat near by us is up for SALE. It is an Islander 33 $1000 obo in case anyone is interested. The hull of the boat is in great shape, but there is no engine, not sure of sails, and is a serious boat building project. Kind of like how we bought Rad Mode Haha! Well we offered the owner $60 for the 3 gel deep cycle batteries… We are the proud new owner of batteries that we desperately needed. The guy had never done anything with the batteries the whole year he has owned the boat. Good news, we have charged them up and they are holding the charge!
Oh my poor hubby. Glad it is him and not me 😉 I am no electrician so I don't envy this task at all. Wire… wire…wire??? Glad he knows what he is doing.
Now I am a woman of the simple things. Window hangers, hooks, cargo hammocks, lights, and kids is a big thing that puts a smile on my face 🙂 Our awesome friends, Dennis and June, took pity on us. We told them we were going to use LED Christmas lights this winter cause that is what we could afford and solar dependent (we have no shore power). They bought us 3 awesome LED lights for our boat. One of them he custom made with a red LED light on the side to see in the dark, which I absolutely love. We also put in hangers for our port lights, towel hangers, etc. Our 9 year old, Linnea, helped clean the area for epoxy. Kids fit in those small random places better than I do 🙂
So, what went wrong? The fuel line broke and needs to be replace for starters. Today the mast piece was giving hubby problems to the point that we might have to just redo it and make our own. Yesterday our car was broken into while I was out shopping in town with my brother getting supplies for the boat. It totally sucks because the thief completely broke the lock to the driver side door so we can't even use the key any more. Naturally they stole boat parts, lighter fluid, and wine. Go figure. But nevertheless, it means another town trip for me. If that was not enough our Chase card info was stolen and someone charged it all over Stockton! Wow! Chase has blocked our card to help prevent fraud, but we are unable to get a new one until Tuesday because tomorrow is Columbus Day and banks are closed. Not a big deal except for the fact that we had already place a done of orders for last minute boat parts. It is going to delay us on getting our standing rigging, holding tank, rode, and so much miscellaneous parts that we need to be out of here in 2 weeks!
Deep breath…. deep breath… as the bridge raises delaying me in my second trip to town and melting half my ice… deep breath…

For most seniors, having a good night's rest may be something that has been unaccomplished for years. They feel restless throughout the day, only to have trouble sleeping for more than a few hours at night. Insomnia and other sleep disorders affect nearly 40% of elderly adults. While many complain of their insomnia, only a few take the prescribed medication.
With that said, it is important to determine what is really going on in the body to be able to improve sleep. In this guide, we will share some of the most helpful ways to treat sleep disorders in seniors.
Mindful Meditation
According to studies at Harvard University, mindful meditation is proven to reduce insomnia, fatigue, and depression within six sessions. It was considered as a proven technique that helped spark the relaxation response in the body to help ease many stress-related ailments.
Many seniors who undergo changes in their life such as moving to a senior living home or experiencing the loss of a close loved one may have trouble with sleeping as things weigh on the mind. With mindful meditation, seniors can focus on breathing and practice mindfulness every day.
When it comes to your diet, consider eating a sleep-friendly meal plan that will allow you to promote better sleeping habits. Food like bananas, cherries, cereals, lettuce, and even milk can help promote good sleep due to the vitamins and nutrients each contains. Milk is rich in tryptophan which is an amino acid that releases serotonin to signal sleepless from the brain to the body.
Be sure to keep away from foods like bacon, dark chocolate, sodas, and especially coffee as caffeine is sleep's number one enemy. If you must have coffee, have a cup only during breakfast to prevent the active stimulation to the Central Nervous System – leaving you restless until the early morning.
As many elderly people suffer from poor quality of sleep, they may nap more often during the day and choose not to exercise. However, spending more time outdoors can promote exposure to sunlight and control their biological clock and sleep cycle. Low-impact exercise is a safe way to improve insomnia and promote a better quality of life.
Do you or someone you love suffer from sleep problems? What methods of treatment have you tried? Consider these methods to help treat your sleep problems.
Things are looking up…
You have your new CPAP machine and your sleep has greatly improved…
But now you need to clean it! If you find that the grooves on the mask or hoses are tough to properly sanitize and your precious new sleeping aid is smelling musty…
Well, it time to consider picking up a SoClean 2 Go portable cleaner and sanitizer.
We will review this outstanding product here so you can see the many ways in which it will make your life easier while keeping your CPAP machine in great working order.
The SoClean is a fantastic automated piece of kit that will clean and sanitize your CPAP machine.
You can disinfect all your accessories with no need to take anything apart. The water reservoir, mask and hose can all be sanitized with 99.9% of bacteria, mold and viruses zapped away fuss-free.
Say goodbye to harmful, messy chemicals – you do not even need water – and keep your equipment dry while sparkling clean.
If you are reluctant to spend money on another product after investing so much in your CPAP machine, think of it this way… Would you buy an expensive car and avoid paying for maintenance?
SoClean technology makes use of completely safe oxygen which is naturally activated. You can blitz your entire system without damaging yourself or the machine.
The design of the chamber means it will accommodate almost all face masks. Whether it's a full CPAP mask or a nasal pillow, everything except a total face mask will fit in a treat.
Activated oxygen is an extremely potent and completely natural cleaning agent. It's been successfully used in hospitals, water purification and food production for many years now. SoClean 2 Go harnesses this fuss-free method of cleaning to great effect.
The oxygen molecule that we breathe has two atoms. With activated oxygen, a third atom of oxygen is added.
SoClean 2 Go will generate activated oxygen from the air in your room. By pumping it through your equipment – CPAP or BiPAP – all bacteria, mold and viruses will be zapped away.
A nice finishing touch is that a dedicated filter can convert this activated oxygen back into breathable air.
The procedure could not be simpler and involves no effort at all.
Note: A red light on the LED means that you need new batteries.
Everyone today leads extremely busy lives. Just keeping on top of cleaning the house can be an uphill struggle. Time is precious and with this superb piece of kit you will not need to laboriously disassemble and clean your CPAP accessories by hand.
Hygiene is absolutely crucial and this innovative cleaning system makes use of activated oxygen which is used in hospitals around the world. You can keep your machine perfectly safe while blitzing away any germs that could potentially harm you.
Although we are looking here at the portable SoClean 2 Go product, some of you might be wondering about the white-colored option which is simply called SoClean 2.
These cleaner are fundamentally the same except the SoClean2 is a standalone unit suitable for home use while the reviewed SoClean 2 Go model is for those people who travel frequently.
Since the core reason of purchasing an automated cleaner is to save time, we will save your time here and focus on the differences rather than listing a long series of similarities.
|Suitable For Travel?
|Programmable Timer?
|7.5" x 6.5" x 8.5"
|4.3 x 3.9 x 4.9"
|Length Of Cord
|Power Supply
Think of investing in the SoClean 2 Go as money saved rather than money wasted. Prevention is always the best cure and by keeping your CPAP machine in perfect condition you can enjoy many years of usage without needing to outlay even more money on a new machine. If you use this machine daily (as recommended by the manufacturer), it really does represent superb value for money.
If you have any questions about this product or anything else sleep-related, do not hesitate to get in touch. We try to answer all queries as swiftly as possible. We are always interested in feedback.
There are many different sleep disorders and one of these is the ominous sounding sleep paralysis.
Have you ever experienced the feeling of being awake yet at the same time being unable to move? If so, perhaps you have been overwhelmed with fear without being able to call for help.
This is a condition called sleep paralysis.
Some people only suffer a single outbreak. For others it can be a more regular occurrence, sometimes even happening several times in one night. It's actually surprisingly common with over 3 million cases each year reported in the US alone.
One piece of good news to start off with is that sleep paralysis is not a serious health problem.
We will look in this article at what, precisely, this disorder is. We'll also examine how you can diagnose and treat the problem as well as a quick glance at the two different varieties.
In a nutshell, sleep paralysis is when you feel conscious but at the same time you are not able to move your body. It takes place when you move from a state of wakefulness to one of sleep.
While you undergo these shifts of state, it may be only seconds or maybe minutes before you regain the ability to move or speak properly.
Accompanying problems are a feeling of choking or abnormal pressure. Both of these, obviously, can cause quite a scare. The worst scenario is when this is partnered with hallucinations. A sense of dread and sometimes even a supernatural creature lurking combine to make sleep paralysis a terrifying ordeal.
It's understandably very frightening, especially if you happen to see or hear things which are not really there. Some people who are beset by sleep paralysis feel that there is an intruder in the room. Other explanations point to an incubus (a kind of demon) or vestibular motor sensations (those hallucinations). We will examine here the science behind it which explains it in a rather less dramatic manner.
It can occur alongside other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy.
There are two main times when it kicks in, either while you are falling asleep or just as you are about to wake.
So these are the two particular times of the night when you are at risk from sleep paralysis. It most often presents itself during teenage years and is likely to recur in the 20s and 30s. Although it may possibly continue as you age and it's undeniably a scary state of affairs, there's no serious health risk associated with this parasomnia.
It's really rather a commonplace disorder with as many as 4 in 10 people of both sexes suffering from it at some stage.
It can be hereditary and there are also a number of factors which can increase your risk. Those who abuse substances or certain OTC medication can bring about this disturbing problem. If you suffer from existing mental conditions such as bipolar disorder then you are also more likely to find this happening to you. Parallel sleep issues such as narcolepsy or cramps can also provoke sleep paralysis. In addition to these elements, a lack of sleep in general or shifting sleeping patterns can also make things worse. As a handy tip, try to avoid sleeping on your back as this can increase the chance of an outbreak.
If the situation outlined above takes you by surprise and you are unable to speak or move before or after sleeping, there's a high chance it's a case of isolated recurrent sleep paralysis.
There's no need to panic. As stated, it's very common and nothing to worry about. Most of the time there is no need to pursue any kind of treatment.
If your symptoms cause you to feel at all anxious, tired during the day or unable to sleep properly then it's a smart move to consult a doctor.
Try keeping a sleep diary for a period of a week or so. Describe any symptoms with as much detail as you can muster. The doctor may quiz you about any sleep disorders which run in the family and in some cases even refer you to a sleep specialist. Sleep studies, either overnight or during the day, can be conducted if necessary.
So, diagnosis is pretty straightforward and do not hesitate to seek medical advice if you want reassurance.
As stated, most people who encounter sleep paralysis have no need of any treatment at all.
When treatment is necessary, the focus is normally on dealing with any partnering leg cramps or disorders such as narcolepsy. Sorting out these problems often eliminates the sleep paralysis.
Some antidepressants can positively regulate your sleep cycles. It's crucial to deal with any mental health flashpoints which can provoke sleep paralysis. Do not ignore them. Seek the help of your doctor and explore what medications are on offer.
That aside, the idea of most treatment is to take steps to improve overall sleep health which in turn should drastically reduce the chance of sleep paralysis happening again.
There is no denying that someone experiencing sleep paralysis is likely to feel concerned. If you understand the simple reasons why this happens and take action to improve your overall sleep health, it should not be an ongoing issue.
Get yourself checked out by your doctor if necessary and don't worry. There is nothing serious about sleep paralysis. Think of it as no more than a bad dream!
To solve respiratory problems and to get some comfort from sleeping disorders like apnea, you cannot find a single workable alternative to continuous positive airway pressure.

Chapter 1
She ran, praying that the mob chasing her wouldn't catch up with her. What had she done? What was wrong? All she had done was save someone's life, and now they were chasing her and calling her a mutant! She could still see the child as he ran out into the street, how she had reached out for it, and how he had just seemed to fly back onto the sidewalk to land at her feet. For saving his life, they were ready to kill her!
Thunder rumbled overhead while lightning splintered the sky. Slipping in the puddles of an alleyway, she looked for a place to hide. Desperate, she jumped into a metal garbage can and pulled the lid down on top, hoping that no one would think to look inside for her. The sounds of the mob came closer, reached a roar, and then gradually faded away. She waited, hearing only the tinny echo of her own breathing as she willed her chest to stop pounding.
She couldn't stay in this city anymore, that was certain. People would remember her as a mutant, and they wouldn't allow it. She felt tears come to her eyes but resolutely fought them down.
"I'm not going to cry," she whispered to herself. "I'm not!"
When had things become so horrible for her? She couldn't remember. What she did remember was suddenly being able to do anything--anything she imagined, really. If she wanted to read minds, she only had to imagine herself doing it. Disappearing and reappearing? All it took was a little imagination. Changing her appearance? Simple.
As simple as her abilities were, the consequences of them became very complicated. Her family, never one to trouble itself about her in any way, either by encouraging her or punishing her, suddenly became rather watchful of her. When she had been caught practicing her abilities by her father, he had told her to pack her things. That very afternoon she landed in a "teenage treatment facility," which was a pretty fancy name for a mental home. He left her there, telling the doctors to cure her, and told her that she would come home once she was better.
She lasted there for only a week before she ran away. The doctors, counselors, staff, and other "residents" talked to her as if she were crazy. She was always watched, and if her mind wandered the slightest little bit, she was bombarded with questions as to how she was feeling or if there was anything the matter. One girl told her that if she wasn't crazy when she came in, then she would be when she left. One night, she grabbed her things, imagined herself invisible, and slipped out. Still invisible, she boarded a train which took her to the next city, and she hoped to find a place that would take a teenager who was willing to work and go to school. She wasn't going to return home.
That glorious plan ended before it had even begun since she had demonstrated her powers. Now what was she going to do? She had to leave, and the sooner she did the better. She would get onto another train that would take her somewhere else, somewhere far enough away so that no one would have heard about this.
She pushed the lid of the can up, but received the shock of her life when it slammed down on top of her. She screamed for help, positive that the mob had found her after all and had crept up on her unawares. She screamed again, pushing at the lid and praying for help from any source.
"Relax, child," she heard a deep, dignified voice say from outside of the can. "I am not here to hurt you, but to help you."
"Who are you?" she shouted to the man outside. "Let me out!" To her horror, she felt the can lift from the ground and begin moving up.
"All in good time, my dear," he said kindly. "I'll let you out once we get where we're going."
Fear suddenly settled over her like a cold, wet blanket. She had heard countless stories of mutants being snatched off the streets by the government or mad scientists wanting to experiment on them. Panicking, she felt her powers come to the fore and take over.

I don't know why I haven't thought of this before. It's one of those obvious things that for some reason, perhaps because it is so obvious, doesn't come into focus.
There is an excellent online resource for those interested in Renga. It is run by two long-term practitioners of the art. One is Norman Darlington, from Ireland, and the other goes by the Moniker "Moi", from South Africa. Both of them are dedicated Renkujin. (Renku is the preferred name at their online location; it is the name more widely used these days.)
This is an online Renku Group and at this site there are Renga/Renku of various kinds being composed online, posts about theory, and notes about the latest goings on in English Language Renku.
I have composed a Renku with Norman in the past and found Norman to be a sure and wise guide. Any questions you have can be asked at this site and Norman, and other members, will be very helpful. My own abilities as a teacher are limited (that's generous). Norman, and several other people involved, in contrast, are excellent at cultivating a beginner's understanding of the form.

If you have even a passing interest in this form, this is the place to go.

Venice Does Halloween
We remember while living in Germany, Hallowe'en was celebrated very differently; people would light candles and visit graves, and on All Saints Day, the following day, would take picnics up the the graves of their loved ones. Now, from store windows, it appears some of the American symbols have become accepted in Venice.
As Others See Us . . .
"Oh that the wee wee giftie gi'e us, to see ourselves as others see us," goes an old Scottish proverb which has haunted me my many years of living overseas.
This recent visit by our Saudi friends was one of those times, and yesterday as I was doing laundry, I thought of all the particular ways we do things, and why, and thought about how very difficult it is to be a house guest in a strange culture because on top of the profound cultural differences, there are also family cultures.
I remember visiting my parents, as an adult, and my mother carefully explaining how they do things, and why, and we would try very carefully to do what they were doing, but I often felt I was failing in some unknown way, to meet the standards.
Like us, when we do laundry, I have three drying racks, and I use my dryer only a few minutes with some of AdventureMan's shirts, tumble drying them to remove wrinkles, then we pull them out and let them finish drying on hangers. I also dry AdventureMan's towels; he thinks that the ones that are dried on the racks are hard and stiff and he doesn't like the feel of them on his skin. Just about everything else dries on the racks or on hangers. It's a result of years of living in Germany, and other places where we had utility bills, and the dryer is a huge electricity hog.
When we lived in a small village in Germany, I remember my landlady bringing my utility bill; her face was white. She said (in essence) "how can this be? You are a wasteful American and I am a frugal German and your electricity bill is half of mine!" (no, she didn't say wasteful, but that was sort of the gist) but she had a clothes dryer that was going all the time, and I did not. I also had a very small little refrigerator, and she had a larger one. Old habits die hard; I still hang most of my clothes to dry.
We are careful with water use, as water becomes more dear, we try to conserve, so we don't let water run, we turn it off. We must look very peculiar and very particular to our house guests.
I really only told them the basics – here are these things, here are those, this is the way this operates – more than that would have been overwhelming. Probably they were overwhelmed with the little I did share! Being a houseguest is overwhelming, too!
And I think of my youngest sister, who took me in for weeks at a time through many of the years we spent overseas, clearing out a bedroom and bathroom for my exclusive use, letting me come and go as my schedule dictated, but still, an intruder and an interruption on her own family life, God bless her. I remember one time being in the kitchen with her son, asking him if he knew where his mother kept the emergency emery board, and he looked totally dumbstruck, and said he didn't know.
"It's probably here," I said, opening a drawer and pulling out the emery board. Our mother always kept an emery board in that drawer; I keep a spare emery board in that drawer, and it just seemed likely my sister would, too. I still love the look on his face as I pulled it out. "How did you know??" he asked, and I just laughed.
I wonder what tales our house guests will tell of us, and our strange ways?
On their last day with us, I showed the 10 year old how to make Bird in a Basket, which he loved. It's so simple, bread with a circle cut out, butter, an egg and a skillet – even a ten year old could do it. What was even better was that he loved it and was going to go home and show his Mama how to do it. One tiny piece of American culture may grow and thrive in Saudi Arabia.
The Nomadic Life: Our Journey to the American SouthWest
We still get restless. AdventureMan still gets calls asking him to come check something out, even goes back to Doha now and then, and I visit family. But we get so restless. We need the stimulation and challenge of other ways of seeing things, other ways of thinking, new sights, new smells, new adventures. There are so many places I have never seen!
Some people are just wired that way. I can remember, even as a young girl, being at the Juneau Airport, smelling that aviation fuel smell, and wishing I were going somewhere. It's just the way I'm wired. I still love the smell of aviation fuel.
I am so lucky to be married to a man who indulges me. AdventureMan isn't wired precisely the same; he is better at growing roots than I am, but he still likes to shake things up a little when it's all same same same, day after day.
We've both had to adjust. I grew up in a family where when we were going, say from Germany to Italy for a vacation, we got up early and went, as AdventureMan so colorfully puts it, "balls to the walls" driving 12, 13 hours until we dropped from exhaustion. We were just intent on getting there. AdventureMan's family traveled in shorter segments. It's taken us about 40 years to find a happy medium. He has adjusted to sharing the driving with me. I'm a good driver, and I love driving. He goes to sleep, and I can drive for hours, it's sort of a zen thing.
So off we went. We put over 6,500 on my two year old car, more than doubling the total mileage. It was a wondrous and joyful journey, full of surprises, full of delights, and with a couple days of truly awful driving.
We packed too much. When you are going someplace every couple days, you really don't need a lot of clothing. I worked out of a large duffel; I would put what I needed for the next day or couple of days in a smaller bag to carry into the hotels.
At our church, we collect toiletries for the homeless population in Pensacola and the recovery population. I came back with a lot of toiletries 🙂
Our first day was to Beaumont, TX. No particular reason to stop in Beaumont, it was just a good place to stop en route to where we were going, which was The National Butterfly Center and the National Birding Center, both of which happen to be in Mission, TX. Mission is right on the border, on the Rio Grande, and I have never seen the Rio Grande before and wanted to see it.
When lunchtime came, we were just passing Baton Rouge, where one of our very favorite restaurants, Al Basha, serves mouthwatering Arabic food. It's just off I-10, we can see it from the road and what a great way to start our journey. But as we enter, every table is filled!
No worries, the waiter hurries over and leads us to a table way in the back, against the wall, which happens to be my favorite place. They have stuffed vegetables on the menu, which AdventureMan orders in a heartbeat, and of course, too much food comes.
We first became acquainted with stuffed vegetables long ago, living in Amman, Jordan, where it was a very common dish, served to family and to guests alike. Later, living in Kuwait, my friends knew how much AdventureMan loved stuffed vegetables and would make extra for him when they were preparing food for family or gatherings. What great memories this lunch brought back!
Louisiana is a quirky state, a state we like a lot. At a gas station near Lafayette, we saw three restaurants and an antique shop, including one with Lebanese food.
By the time we got to Beaumont, it was nearly dinner time. Beaumont is an oil refining town, and the hotel was full of men working in the refineries or about to be hired to work in the refineries. It was a very male populated environment. I went to the pool, but there was a large group of men sitting out on the patio by the pool, and I didn't stay long, I wasn't comfortable. It reminded me of the Middle East. I don't like being oogled.
We were still so full from our Al Basha lunch that we found a local supermarket and got salads for dinner. It was a great first day on the road.
Dinner at Hofbrau Haus in Panama City Beach, FL
We lived so many years in Germany, and one of the phrases that would drive me crazy is people exclaiming about schnitzles that "were so BIG they were hanging off the plate!" (said with big googly eyes). Big and schnitzle do not necessarily go well together. Schnitzle can be tough, it can have too much fat, it can be gristly. Living there for so long, I've had some really bad schnitzles, big and small. During our later years in Germany, we avoided schnitzle altogether; there were so many other alternatives, more refined dishes – pumpkin raviolis, white asparagus soups, St. Martin's goose, venison ragout, duck breasts . . . (drooling in a very un-refined way . . . )
But lately, I had tiny hankering for a plain old schnitzle, and here we were in Panama City Beach, where there is a HofBrau House.
When we lived in Heidelberg, there was a HofBrau House nearby. Growing up in Germany, it seemed to me HofBrau House was everywhere, sort of like a German version of McDonalds. Now, you don't see them so often as you used to, except for the original one in Munich.
AdventureMan is a great sport; he likes schnitzle less than I do, but off we go to HofBrau House, and actually, we have a great time.
I order a pretzel, it is huge and it is very hot, and served with a mustard dipping sauce. (This is nothing like we ever had in Germany; pretzels were mostly street-food.) It was salty and the sauce was delicious. I loved it.
The pretzel went great with the beer – very good beer – and the accordion music. The atmosphere in the HofBrau house is festive. The beer is VERY good.
When my schnitzel came, it covered the plate. I was aghast, but . . . it was crisply fried, not any fat, not any gristle and lots and lots of lemon wedges to squeeze onto it. We cut it in half and took half home for a late Thanksgiving snack the next night. We cut the remainder in half and enjoyed every bite. It will be a long long time before I feel a need for a schnitzel again, but this one did the HofBrau Haus proud.
Service was the best. All the wait staff looked really happy to be there, even those who had to wear the serving wench costumes. It is located in Pier Park, a great place to go walking after a schnitzel dinner, great shopping and a kid's park with rides and a huge slide.
Our Own Little OctoberFest
It sounded like so much fun when I was 15 and living in Germany, going to a beer fest, drinking beer, sitting in the big fest tents and laughing and drinking and eating wursts and listening to the ooompah band. By the time I was 18 and graduating, I'd been to a fest or two, and was pretty much over it. I'd probably seen a fest or two and a beer or two too many. AdventureMan and I were trying to remember the last beer fest we had been do and we think it was the year we were married (LOL, a LONG time ago) with his military unit.
But . . . it must the the changing light. When I saw Wursts in the commissary, I bought a pack (we NEVER eat wursts, but . . . it's October. Could not resist . . . )
I mixed up a very strong curry sauce, using the last of some Kashmiri curry I had brought back with me from Kuwait on my last trip, and we each savored our lone curry wursts with a brotchen. Our own little OctoberFest 😉
This happens.
A very average day, nothing spectacular posted. All of a sudden, a spike in stats so obvious . . . but my WordPress doesn't say where it is coming from, Stat Counter doesn't say where it is coming from or what it is about. I am stumped!
Update: They are all coming from Germany. Spammers? Hackers? Did I write something about Germany? (That's just me puzzling out loud . . )
Happy Heidelberg
My high school stomping grounds; this video makes my heart flutter seeing all those wonderful sights with wonderful memories:
Energy Use and My Friend Who Kept the Cats Warm
"I was scratching their heads and ears and noticed that they were nice and warm! I wondered how they were managing to keep so warm in the awful cold, but I was glad they found a nice warm place," my friend said, when I asked her how her outdoor cats had fared in the bone-chilling cold we experienced in Pensacola last week.
"Then I got my Gulf Power bill, and Intlxpatr, it was over a thousand dollars!" she exclaimed, her eyes huge.
Her normal bill is probably around what I pay. Not nearly a thousand dollars, not even on the hottest month of summer when I have to keep the air on full blast 24/7 on just to survive.
"So I called the heating people,' she continued, and they had to crawl under the house, imagine, in this weather. . . "
I imagined.
". . . And they discovered the cats had clawed a hole in one of my air ducts and had luxuriated, down there under the house, while my heater tried to heat up half of Pensacola!"
We laughed, but a thousand dollars . . . that knocks a hole in anyone's budget. It was one of those laughing-because-if-you-don't-laugh-you-will-cry kinds of laughs.
I am an energy nerd. It comes from growing up in Alaska, I am convinced, where I had neighbors who fished in the summers and had to get by all year on that income, plus what they might come by with odd jobs the rest of the year. My friends had a huge garden in their back yard, and a root cellar where things were stored. In the root cellar, they had a chalkboard, where every potato, every carrot, everything they had stored was listed, and numbers subtracted as they were used. They had to keep track, to be sure they would make it through the winter.
In Pensacola, Gulf Power has a really cool feature on their website. You set up an online account, and you can check on your daily energy usage. LOL, this is mine for January. It has huge ups and downs – mostly we don't need to have the heat on, but when the temperatures go down and stay down – it shows. There are also a couple days when we used our oven, and that shows up, too, but not badly.
I remember living in Germany, where I didn't have a dryer (or any space for one) and my landlady brought me my energy bill. We lived in a very small farming village, where they were also all very frugal, but she couldn't believe my bill was so small. I just smiled; I could hear her dryer going every day, and dryers are also a huge source of energy usage. Anything that heats up – or cools down – is an energy eater.
On the website, you can also compare this year against previous years – and my bill this year is nearly a third higher than last year, but last year we did not have a three-day arctic freeze!
Name that Country: A Most Difficult Challenge
This morning, as I was praying for Panama – there is always a diocese listed in the daily lectionary to be prayed for somewhere in the world – I was thinking how I know where Panama is. When we are praying for Nigeria, there are names I haven't heard of. I now Lagos, and Port Harcourt, but where is Abuja? Owerri? I go to GoogleEarth and look them up.
I struggle with how little the average American knows about geographical location. It's just embarrassing. Through all the years I lived abroad, most of the time, unless it was Germany, people couldn't quite place where I was living. Many had heard of Tunisia; we had troops there in World War II, and Saudi Arabia, because they had seen it often enough on the news, but the rest of the Arab Gulf, Jordan, Syria, North Africa – beyond them.
Then, on the first night of one of my grad classes, the professor handed us this map and gave us ten minutes to put in the appropriate country names. He did not, thanks be to God, ask us to put in capitals. Not a single one of us got them all, and this was a class full of nation-oriented people.
It was also on the final exam, three months later, and most of us got them all right – thanks to some fervent cramming and study groups.
Here are a couple more maps, in case you are feeling cocky. See if you can accurately fill in the name of each country:
Bonne chance!

Youth employment campaigner backs Gove's 'exercise for punishment' proposal on Fri 7th March, 2014
Youth employment pioneer and businessman, Will Davies has today backed Education Secretary Michael Gove's controversial plans to introduce exercise as a punishment for children when they get up to no good.
"It sounds reasonable to me," says Mr Davies, who is the MD of property maintenance firm, aspect.co.uk, "If young people want to get a job, they need to learn to get up on their feet and spend less time on their iPhones - and doing exercise in any given situation, is the best way forward."
"In sectors such as construction and property maintenance, it is all about physical endurance, making sure that everything is done in a short space of time. The sooner today's young people will realise this, the easier it gets for them in the long haul."
"One day, parents will thank Michael Gove."
