Just back for my Asian trip and too happy to share these stunning photos with you guys!
I always adored Asia, for those of you who don't know I have a degree in Far Eastern studies, I used to speak Japanese (now I have forgotten most of it though haha) and I have traveled around Asia quite a bit.
This time I flew to Singapore and Malaysia for work. Wow, it is quite a trip from LA I must say! Before I always traveled to this part of the world from Paris or London and it didn't feel as far:)
It is winter there now which basically consists of devilish heat paired with constant raining and 90% humidity- a dream come true 😂
I packed loads of light comfortable outfits – culottes and tops, as well as flowy dresses and a couple of light leather jackets to throw on once inside. The temperature indoors is not far from one of the fridge – oh those Asian countries and their air conditioning!!!
In Singapore my days were really busy so I practically didn't have time for myself. I managed to spare an hour in the morning for a breakkie with my friend from London who now moved to Singapore and we met up for a delicious breakfast at PS Cafe. She is working on her second book, a Singapore travel guide and I was lucky to get my hands on her first edition, a gorgeous Bali travel guide (you can get it here) that I am oh-certainly putting to use next year 😻
I will not hide the fact that my luggage got heavier after I made a stop at Charles&Keith and Pablo (wearing one of the pairs I purchased on those pictures). I usually buy expensive quality footwear as shoes hold a special place in my heart, but those Singaporean brands with their uber-fashionable 50 dollar footwear just make you loose your mind somehow… Haha!
I was off to Malaysia after Singapore and of course spared a Saturday morning for a visit of my favorite China Town. This time I went heavy on temples, visited both Guandi Temple and Sri Maha Mariamman Hindu Temple. The heat was crazy as usual so we stopped at the market for a traditional ice coffee with condensed milk.
I fell in love with the Indian flower market where I stumbled upon the prettiest flower necklaces I have ever seen. Handmade. By the folks on the picture below – they were kind and gracefully agreed to pose for me:)
Food adventures were beyond in Malaysia this time, one of the clients took us to a local market/restaurant street. The place we sat down at used to be a fish and meat shop that extended into 4 shops and then a sort of a restaurant if it could be called such. While we were questioning the hygiene of this place our order of black pepper crab arrived alongside other 1000 dishes and I literally couldn't believe how good the food was. AAA experience!!!!
I felt my trip was a little short for such a long travel all the way from LA. Promised myself that next time will be longer. Cannot wait

Super 2000 Vectra – A Small Detailed Look
July 9, 2016
I love seeing these sorts of cars at tracks, as for me the mid to late 90s Super 2000 touring cars are some of the best looking and coolest race cars that have been produced to this day. This ex-touring car is now living the time attack life and I'm sure it's a fantastic platform for a street based time attack machine. Luckily it was parked up and had most of its body panels removed giving me a chance to have a peek at some of the details.
The front has been nicely simplified and its all function! Scoops and ducts for the intake, radiator and brakes, and then a few attachment points for the front splitter. The radiator has been relocated to be right at the front of the car and actually looks a little smaller than the stock one.
The engine bay really is spectacular. The engine is incredibly low and rearward in the engine bay and it's great to see how tidy they are. No unnecessary crap, just pure performance.
Because the engines were NA and the competition was incredibly fierce between manufactures, a lot of development is put into intake and exhaust design, resulting in an overwhelmingly big intake and plenum.
Due to the extensive lowering and 19″ wheels a lot of changes have been made to the chassis too, which you can see by all the welds present. Larger tubs, reinforced strut mounts and engine mounts and seam welds in lots of places.
I also like the removable and lightened front brace; this is something I would like to do on the Nissan.
Beautiful 2-piece discs and AP Racing calipers. Single lug nut for maximum awesomeness.
On to the interior and it's all business. The driver sits very far back in the vehicle, almost behind the B-pillar with an extended steering wheel and dash. Floor mounted pedal box and of course, a sequential gearbox.
There were many Lotuses and other light weight cars present, they seemed to quite serious about their pace and I only found out of the reason for this recently. They were taking part in a private championship that they hold at various track days, such as this one, specifically for light weight cars. It's based on fastest times and their split up into classes based on performance, all pretty neat.
A very cool idea for those wanting to compete against friends or fellow people on forums.
Unfortunately it doesn't always work for everyone. This is what happens when you get cars running at very different paces, pretty normal for open track days.

Skin cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in the United States with over 1,250,000 new cases reported each year. Americans over the age of 65 have a forty to fifty percent chance of developing at least one skin malignancy. Your Skin: Layer by Layer
Although we don't tend to think of it as such, the skin is the largest organ in the human body, weighing approximately six pounds. The outermost layer is called the epidermis, which is further divided into different layers:
Stratum Corneum: consists of flattened keratinocyte cell remnants (mostly keratin). This is the surface layer of the skin and is constantly being shed.
Stratum Granulosum & Stratum Spinosum: consist of keratinocytes (squamous cells) at different stages of maturation.
Stratum Basale: consists of cuboidal shaped keratinocytes (basal cells). The melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) are also found in this layer.Beneath the epidermal levels is the dermis. The dermis contains blood vessels, sweat glands hair follicles and lymph vessels. The dermis also contains glands that produce sebum, an oil that prevents the skin from drying out.
Types of Skin Cancer
Three different types of cancer affect the epidermis: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of epidermal cancer. Over one million Americans are diagnosed with BCC every year. Basal cell carcinoma is slow growing, and rarely metastasizes (the medical term for cancer that spreads to other organs).
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is less common than BCC, accounting for 200,000 news cases a year in the U.S. Although squamous cell carcinoma spreads faster than BCC, it is still uncommon for the disease to metastasis.
Malignant melanoma is the rarest of the types of skin cancer, with approximately 50,000 new cases in the U.S annually. However, malignant melanoma is also the fastest growing of the three cancers, and diagnosis rates of the disease have doubled in America since the 1970s. Malignant melanoma begins in the melanocytes, and is more often called just melanoma.
Common Causes: Tanning and DNA Damage
Ultraviolet rays from sunlight are the most common cause of skin cancer. The UV rays damage DNA in the epidermis. The damaged DNA replicates and allows the cellular damage to spread. Light-skinned and fair-haired people are most susceptible to UV-related DNA damage.
Tanning and exposure to the sun without sunscreen or protective clothing adds to the risk of skin cancer development. The UV rays used in tanning salons are just as damaging to DNA as UV found in sunlight.
ABCDE Rule for Skin Cancer
Periodic self-examinations for new or abnormal-looking moles, growths, sores, and skin discoloration can help catch skin cancer in its earliest stages. (A mirror or a partner can help you check hard-to-see places.) Use the ABCDE rule for skin cancer: Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, and Elevation:
Asymmetry: One side of the growth or mole differs in shape from the other side.
Border: The border of the abnormal area changes from smooth to blurry, irregular or "ragged." Pigment from the area may "bleed" into the
surrounding skin.
Color: The mole has multiple colors and shades. These colors may be tans and browns, but may also be white, red, pink or even blue. Watch for color changes.
Diameter: Has the mole or growth increased in size since you last examined it? Increases in size are most common, but shrinkage may also occur. Report any mole larger than 1/4 of an inch (about the width of a pencil eraser) to your doctor.
Elevation: Has a previously flat mole become raised, or elevated from the surrounding skin? A change of thickness should be discussed with your physician.
The ABCDE rule for skin cancer applies mainly to melanoma and helps you remember features to check for possible malignancy. Other signs to look for include open sores, raised bumps, red patches, pink-colored growths and scar-like formations. Report any discomfort, such as burning or itching, or bleeding from a skin lesion to your doctor for further examination.
Survival Rates and Mortality
If an epidermal skin cancer is diagnosed and treated in its early stages, survival rates are very good. Almost 100 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers can be cured with early treatment. Five year survival rates for early stage malignant melanoma are approximately ninety percent. Once melanoma metastasis, five-year survival rates drop to fifty percent.

Pests in the Garden!
Each summer, our animal neighbours enjoy our gardens and produce as much as we do. Anne Marceau and Michael Burzynski, long-time gardeners in Rocky Harbour, will use photos and local examples to talk about how to cope with, and live with, garden pests.
They will talk about non-chemical techniques to reduce the percentage of your garden consumed by slugs, earwigs, flea-beetles, showshoe hares, moose, squirrels, crows, and other rampant vegetarians. And they hope that you will gain a new appreciation for the resourcefulness of the animals! There will be a question and answer session at the end of the talk.
Please RSVP to email@example.com. The workshop is $5 or free for Western Environment Centre members. Donations are also welcome!

I could certainly get use to this 4 day weekend! I must admit, it has been lovely having some time off to unwind and to focus a bit more on my blog.
Easter Sunday was amazing and really brought the spirit back to life with my cousins. The Easter bunny left lots of treats around the garden for all of the children to find on their little hunt. A typical trait of us Bates's is being competitive with one another! So it was certainly a race against time as we were in two teams! And of course, the girls won :)
My Family are very art-y and creative so my Aunt decided to make her own Easter cards this year to give to us. I first thought that our card was bought from a shop, I couldn't believe how professional it looked! My Aunt had my cousins each leave a coloured finger print on the front and drew on the little finishing touches. Certainly making note of this little idea!
My other cousins spent their Good Friday making us up some chocolate brownies, a chocolate cake and chocolate coated marshmallows. Believe me, they tasted just as good as they looked!
In the evening we went for some dinner in one of our local pubs. This time with my Mum's side of the family. We ate to our hearts content, played pool (I won of course :P) and went back home to play more games.
Today me and Sam will be relaxing and catching up on things from the weekend. We're off to the O2 tomorrow evening to watch Dynamo the Magician so add me on my Snapchat to find out what we get up to - batesrobyn

– I'm here with Dr. Joe. Dr. Joe Machnik, congratulations. The newest inductee into the US soccer Hall of Fame. Congratulations, my man.
DR. JOE MACHNIK: Thank you so much, Alexi. It's certainly an honor. I can't believe it. But 60 years in the game, you know, somebody recognized that I might have done something somewhere some place some time. So I'm so happy about it.
– Well, not only did you do something, you did a lot of things. And you talked about your 60 years in the game. Give us a little perspective because I think in this moment in time in US soccer we lack a little bit of that perspective. Give us some perspective on and off the field of how far we've come and how you've played a part.
DR. JOE MACHNIK: Well, I don't know that I played a part. But, you know, I was a player, a goalkeeper. I actually played on the 1966 Open Cup champion, New York Ukrainians back in the day when the Open Cup didn't have any major professional teams in it. I got into coaching. Coached at Long Island University and University of New Haven. And in my first year as a college coach we went to the final championship game, losing to San Francisco, with [INAUDIBLE] Hacienda on the field as a player.
And that led to, you know, coaching with the national team as a goalkeeper coach in the '90 World Cup and five aside team a bronze medal. The first men's team to ever win a FIFA medal. And I don't know, refereed a few games too–
– Yes. You did.
DR. JOE MACHNIK: Including the 1988 NCAA final and a lot of games in major indoor soccer league. So I was a player, a coach, a referee, and they're giving me this Hall of Fame honor as a builder.
– Administrator?
DR. JOE MACHNIK: Administrator and now occasionally with you and colleagues at Fox, talk about soccer on the air once in a while.
– Yeah. Well, we have a blast working with you. So aside from working with us, which has to be the highlight of your career, give us the one moment that you're most proud of.
DR. JOE MACHNIK: Well, I think, you know, everyone says the game in Trinidad and Tobago, when Paul Caligiori scored the magic goal. After that game, Sunil Galotti came into the locker room and he shook my hand because people seem to forget that Tony Meola had four consecutive shut outs leading to that qualification process. And without those shutouts, even the giving of one goal in any of those games, we don't qualify for the '90 World Cup. So that– that's a magic moment for me.
– Well, when you look at going forward, because you're still a huge part of this American soccer culture, what do you see on and off the field in terms of what's good and maybe even some things that need to be fixed.
DR. JOE MACHNIK: You know, I was a very good friend of Walter Jesuit's, the former national team coach and director of coaching. And he passed away 23 years ago. If he was alive today, or just came back, you know, visited for an hour, he wouldn't believe where soccer is today. The number of games that are on television 24 hours a day. The number of soccer facilities, which we never had when we played way back when. And obviously, girls and women's soccer, which didn't exist at the time. And just, you know, soccer is now the fourth most watched sport, the fourth most participated in sport in America.
So it's– it's– the growth and development has been incredible.
– Last question. What are you a doctor of?
DR. JOE MACHNIK: I went to the University of Utah and graduated with a PhD in leisure studies. And my thesis was recreation and planned retirement villages, which was so ahead of its time in 1973 that maybe I should resurrect it.
– Well, Dr. I want to congratulate you. And I want to thank you for everything that you have done for US soccer, on and off the field. Have a wonderful time at the ceremony. And onwards and upward. Thank you.
DR. JOE MACHNIK: Thank you so much. It's been a pleasure.

Author(s): The Annie E. Casey Foundation
Published: January 2014
Report Intro/Brief:
"Children who are proficient readers by the end of third grade are more likely to graduate from high school and to be economically successful in adulthood. This KIDS COUNT data snapshot finds 80 percent of fourth-graders from low-income families and 66 percent of all fourth-graders are not reading at grade level. While improvements have been made in the past decade, reading proficiency levels remain low. Given the critical nature of reading to children's individual achievement and the nation's future economic success, the Casey Foundation offers recommendations for communities and policymakers to support early reading. Early reading proficiency rates for the nation and each state are provided."

The 2013-2014 beijingkids Health Guide is the latest resource for Beijing families dedicated to providing information on family health care, maternity, eating and breathing safety, mental health, emergency care and traditional Chinese Medicine. Articles from the guide will be featured twice a week on our website. Find the full version here.
Simon Gauthier says Beijingers are more than willing to chow down on organic food—he's just not so sure that the scope of such healthier produce has ripened enough for a bigger clientele.
"I feel like this is the moment where not only foreigners, but also Chinese people, are fed up with all the food scandals in this country, with trying to find sources they can trust," Gauthier, the founder of A Food Affaire Deli and Catering (located in the April Gourmet grocery) says. "I've seen strawberries the size of your fist here, and they don't rot, they just liquefy. That's just one of the many things about some foods that can be strange and disturbing here."
Gauthier has looked into catering organic food, but despite the growing interest, he says the supply is not yet sustainable.
"I discussed it with a few organic food outlets, like LohaoCity. They do a great job, but they are just too small scale. We go through a lot of food, thousands of kilos a month. I'd love to get into the organic food business, but I need a consistent source."
Klaus Griesbach, who works at the TooToo Organic Farm and delivery company, concurs that while interest has spiked as of late, Beijing hasn't yet reached its organic food tipping point.
"Organic food is not mainstream yet in China, less than 0.1 percent of all food consumed in China is organic," he says, before adding: "I doubt that most grocers or caterers could sell thousands of kilograms of organic food monthly, at least not yet."
Nancy Song, who works at the LohaoCity health store and organic food provider that Gauthier gave kudos to, agrees that she would like to see organic food become more popular. But she adds that its current status as a niche product does have advantages, especially over mainstream alternatives like supermarkets.
"We don't see ourselves as a supermarket. Supermarkets specialize in 'convenient products,' which end up being unhealthy. Outside of China, people are most worried about whether their food is healthy. In China, most consumers are worried about food safety, which is a trickier problem to solve. We wish not only to have a reputation for selling healthy food, but also to be known for selling safe food products. We want to occupy the same position in China as, for example, Trader Joe's does in America"
Griesbach says that organic food's popularity will likely continue its steady rise, because it is so much more nutritious than the alternatives.
"Whether you live in Beijing or any other place, if your health is important to you, you should eat organic food," he says, before rattling off a list of unnatural additives and chemicals in most other foods that he, and other organic proponents, have deemed to be harmful. "Organic foods are free of health endangering preservatives, coloring, pesticides, herbicides, and hormones. I think young parents, who want to make sure that their children get the best and safest food available, should especially keep this in mind."
While the number of Beijing's organic food fans may be steadily growing, Griesbach says there are several reasons why they are still a minority. "One of the challenges Beijing poses for organic food growers and vendors is the long distance between the farms and the vendors, which require packing at night and cooled transport. But this is true for any big city."
Gauthier agrees, saying that those expenditures will lead to hurdles that may prove to be too daunting for distributors, vendors and customers.
"Once you decide to go full on organic, it costs more," he says, before admitting that the vast majority of organic proponents have no issue with paying more for their beloved grub. But while that price difference may be widely accepted by some consumers, most vendors don't think it's so easy to swallow. "Changing your business model to go completely organic doesn't mean that all clients are going to be willing to pay something like double the price. It's a bit of a risk for now, at least until organic food becomes more common."
Griesbach agrees that the price difference is considerable, before elaborating on why that gap happens.
"The higher price of organic food is mainly due to the much higher cost of distributing small amounts of goods," he says. "Our farm sell its products directly to families or single persons, not to shops. The more organic food is consumed, the more its price will go down."
Gauthier is looking forward to that day when organic food becomes the norm. But in the meantime, he says too many outlets of these niche products make too many compromises — not with the food itself, but in the strategies they use to sell it.
"Some organic outlets that I've been to have plenty of non-organic products. It'll be all interspersed between the two types, or there will be an organic section and then another section with cornflakes," he says. "To me, it makes more sense go all the way if you're going to go organic."
Taking such steps, and taking on the resulting swollen prices, can be intimidating for business owners. But while many customers may be skeptical about the costliness of organic products, Song says many of the outlets that provide this more holistic food take pains to ensure they're worth every penny.
"We take more responsibility in order to make more guarantees about our products. We spend more time and effort on the safety and health of our products, that's reflected in our price. When you buy any of our products, you are buying our guarantee. If you have any problem with any Lohao products you buy, we will take responsibility for it. We won't pass the buck onto anyone else."
Song says that Gauthier's earlier point, about some outlets having a seeming half hearted commitment to organic products, is by no means the worst example of the hurdles plaguing this budding food variety.
"It can be a challenge to build trust between us and our customers," she says. "There are several organic labeling systems in China, some of which are abused to the point that they hardly mean anything anymore to the consumer."
Song deems such deceptive advertising to be deplorable, leaving consumers wary of which foods may or may not be organic. And she says the best way to combat that soured image is to provide the public with a fresh alternative— a chance to see the real deal, the leafy greens and juicy fruits, up and close and in person.
"In order to resolve this challenge, we create a lot of opportunities for people to visit our farm and to observe our growing processes firsthand," she says. "They can therefore understand how we go about this business, and when that happens, customers end up trusting all the products we carry."
That could be a promising proposal to people like Gauthier, who are enticed by all the promise that organic food holds, why still being wary by the potential pitfalls ahead. He says one of the issues could stem from the complacency that has settled in among a portion of Beijing's expat consumers.
"I feel like living in China, for the longest time, made many people just settle, or even be timid, when it comes to looking for what they want from their food," he says, before elaborating: "Some expats, who aren't bilingual, got really used to going to stores where no one can speak English. Asking for an apple could be a challenge, let alone looking into complex terms and details like nutritional values and whether or not something is organic."
He adds that many expats are extremely firm when it comes to the standards of what they eat, and that that group is growing in number and self assurance in Beijing. But he says that the true key to organic food's success lies at a much more local angle.
"My business started out having 90 percent foreign customers. Now I'm 60/40 between expats and Chinese clients as my business has grown bigger," he says, before adding that organic food's Beijing breakthrough needs to happen in the same fashion. "If stores are going to sell more organic foods, then it needs to not come from the 100,000 foreigners in Beijing, but the 20 million Chinese living here. They're becoming more aware of what goes into their food, especially when it's processed, and they're going to be expecting higher and higher standards as time goes on."

Under One Million: New GTA Benchmark
What goes up must inevitably come down and for the first time in months the average sale price in Toronto did just that with detached homes dipping in July to below $1 million.
That figure is notable for more than just psychological reasons. With price tags below a million dollars, the real estate market is open to more consumers and that's good news for everyone.
According to the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB), August figures show the average detached home in the GTA sold for $972,212. That's down from $1,000,336 at the end of July. The average price in August has fallen about $230,000 or 19 per cent since the market's peak in March.
It's widely believed the provincial government's new housing rules introduced in April put the brakes on the city's red-hot real estate market, controls some believe were necessary to calm out-of-control housing prices.
While the price drop is great news for buyers, TREB says the market in the GTA is expected to post a record year nevertheless. According to TREB, the average sale price of a detached home in July was $996,970, which is still a 13.3 per cent hike over house prices from one year ago.
Says TREB's board president Mark McLean: As we move towards a new record for home sales this year, it is important to point out that home ownership demand has been driven not only by low borrowing costs, but also by the fact that the greater Toronto area economy has been performing quite well, with the unemployment rate lower compared to last year.
The under one million figure is an average that combines house sales numbers from across the GTA. If you're looking at detached homes strictly in Toronto you are likely still paying in the seven-figure range. Based on TREB figures from August, single-family homes there still average about $1.2 million, though that figure is down considerably from March when it hit a peak of $1.56 million.
The $1 million mark is significant because of changes introduced in 2014 which excluded government-backed mortgages on homes sold for more than seven figures. The ban targeted hot real estate markets in Toronto and Vancouver.

Good morning & Happy Easter!
I'm sorry that I have been a little out of communication. You know, Dad has been using that "gentle leader" on me a LOT! Well, it kinda keeps my muzzle wrapped pretty tight, so I've not wanted to do a lot ot talking. I've been busy keeping my mouth shut and doing my job. I still sneak in a little "hoover time" as we walk, but it is much more difficult for me and Dad is really trying to break me of that habit. What can I say, I'm just a hungry girl!
I was sick last week and had to go see the Vet for an upset tummy and lots of other things, that are too messy to talk about. Dad first put me on "chicken & rice, very bland," but was that a nice change in diet. I've been eating a lot of lamb & rice, but it was nice to scale down and eat chicken. Then after seeing the Vet, she gave us some canned food that she claimed was high in fiber. I'm not sure about that, but it was high in ymmy-ness!
My weight was down to 52.5 pounds! I feel more like a racing dog now...sleek and fast! Well, that's why Dad calls me the Parka Express! Dad feeds me 4-5 times per day. It sure seems like I'm getting a LOT of food, but I know it's only 2 heaping cups per day, but I sure do love eating several times per day!
We had a great adventure to San Antonio & Houston, Texas in mid March. What a trip! Dad really packs in a lot of things to do on a trip and we spent a lot of time with a really nice guy named Aaron. Dad said that he is the Event Manager for the Rocky Texas region. We stayed at his house in early February and I really enjoyed their house dog.
Mar. 13: landed in San Antonio, took a cab to Marriott near the River Walk. This was a very nice hotel and I found a good place to potty in the court yard! Aaron, Kristin, Antonea, Dad and I went to dinner on the River Walk and they had yummy Mexican food while I behaved under the table.
Mar. 14: We got started at 5:45 a.m. to attend the San Antonio VisionWalk and I led Dad through the darkness while we set up for the BIG event that morning in Breckenridge Park. A river ran throught he park and Dad and I walked around the area and I chased a couple of ducks away from our path. Over 200 people attended a very cold and rainy morning, in fact, we built a fire in a fire pit under the pavilion. We raised over $120,000 to fund research this day. What a fun time.
We flew to Houston that afternoon and had dinner at Bonnie's with the Houston chapter board. 25 people attended this dinner, board meeting that Dad set up. Once again, I behaved, while everyone else ate!
Mar. 15: We checked out the park where the Houston Walk will be held in the Fall, then went to a meeting at the Houston Lighthouse where 120 people attended to hear the program set up by Dad and Aaron. Wow, I'm getting tired just relating this story.
Mar. 16-17: We met lots of people that Dad used to know when he lived in Houston and even made a presentation to the Harrisburg Rotary Club, where Dad was president in the mid 90's. I was proud of Dad as he made his presentation to the 60 Rotarians in attendance! I was strutting my stuff.
OK, it's time for my grade update for this trip. If you recall, my overall grade was "B-" before:
Following commands and acting when asked to do so: A- (was B+ last time)
Riding in vehicles and staying calm when asked: A (was A last time)
Hoovering in normal harness and leash: C (was D- last time)
Hoovering with gentle leader: A- (was B+ last time)
Recall of paths taken in hotels: B+ (was C+ last time)
Advising Dad of curbs, obstacles, people: B+ (was B+ last time) (still forget curbs sometimes, and run Dad into people when I should shlow down, got to work on that!)
Synchronization and working as a team: 80% of the team (was 75% last time)
Overall Grade for this trip: B (was B- last time)
Dad uses the gentle leader most of the time with me. I wish I did not have such a hunger drive, but you know, I'm just a hungry girl. There are so many things that look appealing along the path. Dad did walk to work with me without the leader, but I kept hoovering and lunging for food a little bit too much and lost my freedom again.
I'll try to be more communicative in the future and I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter. In fact, I hope I get to play with Cuzzie's squeaking bunny this weekend! I love taking that toy away from her. I've been giving her a lot of kisses lately, so I'm starting to like that little bundle of excitment!
Lots of hugs, licks and kisses to Becki, Ashley & Caitlin up in Washington!
Love to all, Miss Parka

Inditex, the world's largest clothing retailer, posted profits in the first half of the year that jumped by 32 percent.
Inditex profit up on internet and emerging markets
Inditex profit up on internet and emerging markets
The owner of the Zara chain said it won new customers online and in emerging markets. Net profit was 944 million euros.
The Spanish firm – which has more than five thousand shops worldwide – said it has reduced its reliance on its home market as it pushes into countries like China.
The retailer said like-for-like sales at the start of the third quarter through September 17 rose 7 percent.
Inditex has given no guidance so far on its online performance, but internet sales could be boosting growth to the tune of at least 2 percentage points, Societe Generale calculates.
"Online is allowing Inditex to access customers that wouldn't be near one of its concept stores," said Critchlow.

I'd definitely label myself a serial binger. Discovering Netflix was probably one of the b
est worst things to ever happen to me because it consumes so much of my time. I don't think a week goes by these days that I'm not binging my way through some new series or another. Because of this, a binge 'worthy' show, in my opinion, needs to be one that I can watch over and over again.
Sam and Dean are my boys. They are both charming, funny, adorable and badass, so basically my perfect guy – well apart from when they're possessed by self-righteous Angels or blood thirsty Demons, and even then they're still pretty awesome. I have my favourite seasons like I'm sure everyone does, but generally this show is consistently good. It's my go to series to watch before bed (yes, I'm one of THOSE people who can't fall asleep without background sound).
This show is the cutest. I have always had the biggest crush on Chuck because he tries so hard at everything, and is so lovely to everyone, yet nothing seems to work out for him, even when he has the intersect in his head. Zachary Levi is also just a little bit lovely don't you think, so I guess that helps too. The show definitely loses its spark towards the end of the series, but it doesn't seem to lose its charm – I still find all the jokes funny, even though I've heard them hundreds of times.
Trailer park Boys
TPB's is my ultimate guilty pleasure. When I first started watching the show I prepared myself for a total car crash of a series, but it is truly brilliant – who would have thought a 'mockumentary' about boozy trailer trash would be so genius. The characters are what makes this show amazing, and the reason I love it so much; I can watch them all for days and never get bored of their hijinks.
10th Kingdom
Way before the Once Upon A Time series, there was the 10th Kingdom. I'm sad to say that very few people remember this show, but I will never forget it. It was probably the first series I ever binge watched in one sitting. I remember being given the boxset for a birthday and watching it over and over until I started to dream about it. It was the most magical thing I'd ever seen and I still pull it out every now and then if I need a little rest from the real world.
I had to add one quintessentially British show to my list, and after contemplating Red Dwarf and Black Books, I settled on Spaced. I will always be a lifelong fan of Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Edgar Wright; and this series is the reason why. They are literally the perfect team. Spaced is proof of that. I love the comedy, I love the chemistry, and I love love love how nerdy it all is. Plus, it inspired Pegg to come up with Shaun of the Dead – major bonus points there!

Phil Jackson comeback in NBA next season possible, reports sayBy Angel Cuala on Apr 18, 2013 in Basketball, Sports, United States •
A Phil Jackson comeback in NBA is likely to happen next season. But this time, the former Los Angeles Lakers coach was said to be more interested into managing a team for the first time. This latest Phil Jackson rumor comes about five months after he discussed with Lakers management for a possible return.
Phil Jackson
Image Credit: NBA video
According to ESPN this Wednesday, April 17, 2013, sources familiar with Jackson's thought of returning to NBA said that he is "itching" to go back to work in the league, since his retirement after the NBA 2010-11 season. However, there was no mention of any specific team that he would possibly work with.
However, the ESPN source emphasized that Jackson may decided to continue enjoying his retirement if none of the current opportunities will fit for abilities. But one thing is certain, he "has no intention of ever coaching again," which he told longtime friend Charley Rosen in a SheridanHoops.com story last January.
Instead, Phil Jackson is rumored to be intrigued in overseeing an organization, just the role of Pat Riley with the Miami Heat or a similar role that Larry Bird earlier held with the Indiana Pacers. This is far from his discussions with Lakers team owner Jim Buss and general manager Mitch Kupchak last November.
Jackson, 67, who was announced been engaged with Jeanie Buss, the 51-year old daughter of Jerry Buss, last January. He is considered as one of the greatest coaches and the most decorated coach in NBA history, with the highest winning percentage of any NBA coach (.704).
Phil Jackson won 11 NBA championships as coach of Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers, surpassing the previous record of nine titles set by Red Auerbach. He won six NBA titles during his time in Chicago Bulls (1989-1998) and five NBA titles during his time in LA Lakers (2000-2010).

This is an internet based resource which might be referred to as an e-zine or web-zine or e-letter. The purpose is to provide practical and plain-spoken ideas about how to live as Christians in today's world. We'll seek to keep the articles brief and relevant. We'll aim at original ideas written by local people who have something worthwhile to share. Themes will mostly center around family, relationships, and generally how to live so as to bring about God's blessings in all of life's challenges. Feel free to forward it to others who might find it valuable. Your feedback and comments are welcome.
One Response
I so very much appreciate the whole idea of this blog site. I would very much like to contribute from time to time. I believe the only thing more important than family is family.
I once knew an 18 year old young lady that saved my life. She happened to be my cousin. She wrote to me while I was in Viet Nam and the year after I returned to "the world".
If it wasn't for her I may not have made it though that time. Because not only did she write to me she let me write to her any and everything that was on my heart.
The written word is so powerful. Especially the words written to and by someone you love.
Some people look at the Bible as a love letter from Jesus. And when Jesus was on this earth as "the Word as Flesh" He was God's love letter to us.
The spoken word, the written word, words that we think and feel from our hearts, these are the portals of our soul.
Thanks for your words,

According to the New York Times, the NFL is making progress in their attempt to decrease the number of hits to the head and neck of players during the season.
Last year the league cracked down on hits by threatening suspensions for repeated violators. This change is starting to show progress. Concussions in preseason and regular-season games dropped 12.5 percent from 2010 to 2011, from 218 concussions reported in 321 games last season to 190 concussions in 320 games this season.
The NFL is attempting to combat the image that players and coaches have deliberately hidden concussion symptoms so that players can continue playing. This may lead to more serious injuries (something called Second Impact Syndrome) and chronic debillitation.
The last commercial in the 3rd quarter will show the improved safety in the league from its inception.

Medical Professionals
In order to make treatment decisions at the time of consultation, it is essential that we have:
- All relevant consultation and follow-up letters
- Pathology reports
- Operative notes
- Procedure notes
- All patient X-rays
- X-ray reports (this is especially important for patients who have been assessed for palliative radiation therapy)
Ideally, we would prefer to have as much information as possible ahead of the initial consultation visit. If this is not possible, please ensure that the patient brings the information with them.
Given the highly emotionally charged nature of these first visits, we recommend that patients come with friends or family members, particularly if English is a second language.
They may also find it helpful if they are told how to get to our centre and what to expect on their first visit.
You may also like to print a profile of the radiation oncologist that you are referring your patient to see so they have the address and contact details of the treating doctor prior to their first appointment. See a list of our Radiation Oncologists

Renowned poet Claudia Rankine will present Transylvania University's 2017 Kenan Lecture on Thursday, Feb. 16, at 7:30 p.m. in Carrick Theater. The event is free and open to the public, and tickets can be reserved here.
Her five poetry collections include "Citizen: An American Lyric," which is the only poetry book to make the non-fiction category of the New York Times bestseller list. At Transylvania she will discuss making the book and the question of creative imagination and race.
Rankine—who also is a playwright, essayist and editor of several anthologies—is the Aerol Arnold Chair at the University of Southern California, the Frederick Iseman Professor of Poetry at Yale University and a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.
"Citizen" has won numerous honors, including the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award in 2014. It also was a finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry.
"This collection of lyrical essays or poetic prose bears witness to the experience of everyday encounters with racism," Transylvania professor Jeremy Paden said. "It moves in and through the feelings and thought processes of the person trying to understand the experience of these injustices. 'Citizen' names and narrates these experiences. And in reading and listening to the poems, in learning from them, our world is enlarged."
Transylvania's William R. Kenan Jr. Lecture Series is funded by a grant from the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust.
Previous speakers have included: Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer and activist; Michele Norris, a National Public Radio correspondent and best-selling author; CNN analyst Peter Bergen; Mary Robinson, Ireland's first female president; and actress Mary McDonnell.
A question and answer session and reception will follow the Feb. 16 lecture.
Parking for Haggin Auditorium, which is in the Mitchell Fine Arts Center, is available in an adjacent lot off West Fourth Street near Upper Street.

Monster ENCyclopedia
Monster ENCyclopedia: Scarecrow
Look away! Dont meet its gaze! The
began as unintelligent creation, animated by evil clerics. As it shambled through the editions, it became a more complex construct. A spirit plucked from the ether by a hag and bound inside a carefully crafted body. After centuries as sentries, some scarecrows even awaken as independent creatures. But no matter which editions scarecrow is after you, dont look into those glowing red eyes... too late! You have already been paralyzed and forced to read this
Monster ENCyclopedia
Monster ENCyclopedia: Remorhaz
One of D&Ds hottest creatures lives in the coolest climes. Arctic explorers might place burned alive low down on their list of risks, but thats exactly what will happen if they run into a remorhaz. A capable hunter, the remorhaz grows large enough to swallow a polar bear whole. Anything it eats is rapidly immolated by the chemical fires raging in the creatures stomach. Join this edition of the
Monster ENCyclopedia
as we examine the remorhaz (from a safe distance).
Monster ENCyclopedia: Quickling
Dont blink or youll miss this entry in the
Monster ENCyclopedia
series. Malicious and often murderous, these tiny fey will turn you into a pincushion for their miniature daggers. If you are unlucky, the poison in your wounds will knock you out. This time were taking a look at one of D&Ds fastest moving creatures, the quickling.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Peryton
Whether they are magical hybrids, alien invaders or creatures warped by a curse, perytons are single minded in their pursuit of their victims. If, as that shape in the sky draws closer, you notice that it casts a humanoid shadow on the ground below, beware! Once a peryton decides it wants to eat your heart, the only way to stop it is to kill it. The peryton has appeared in every edition since AD&D -- join the
Monster ENCyclopedia
as we take a look at this half-giant eagle, half-stag monstrousity.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Tomb of Annihilation
This is a special instalment in the Monster ENCyclopedia series, which has been taking a slow and steady (very steady!) alphabetical tour through various D&D monsters. Each previous entry in the series focussed on the history of just one monster. This entry is a little different.
Tomb of Annihilation
is set in the jungles of Chult, and is triggered when resurrection stops working across the world. This hook doesnt stop the adventure from delightfully resurrecting a number of lesser known D&D creatures to flesh out the jungles. These arent creatures likely to get Monster ENCyclopedia entries by themselves (well, maybe the froghemoth), so this is a combined entry looking at the history of several of these monsters.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Otyugh
Many of the
Monster ENCyclopedia
entries so far have been creatures you would not want to hug. A hug from a
or a
would be repulsive. Hugging a
would be deadly. This next entry has three (or two) legs, two (or more) grabby tentacles, a sensory stalk with two (or three) eyeballs, and a single large orifice which it uses for eating, excreting and reproducing. It lives in poop. It eats poop. Dose yourself with typhus vaccine, and climb down into the sewerage tank to meet another don't hug creature: the otyugh.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Nightmare
The nightmare is the steed of choice for all kinds of D&D villains. Black in colour with flaming hooves, it is a highly intelligent creature. As it progressed through editions it gained weight and became more flammable. But is there more to the nightmare than simply being a mount for bad guys? This instalment of the
Monster ENCyclopedia
takes a closer look at this evil equine to find out.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Myconid
Breathe deeply. The tickle you can feel in the back of your throat means the spores have started working. Sit back, relax, and let your mind join the rest of the circle in the meld! Save vs. poison to avoid reading a
Monster ENCyclopedia
entry dedicated to hallucinogenic mushrooms. D&D's myconids are under the spotlight this time as we track the fungus folk from their debut in
In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords
through to their most recent appearance in
Out of the Abyss
. Visit the
Monster ENCyclopedia index
for links to other entries in this series.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Lamia
What's half-human and either half-lion, half-goat, half-deer, half-snake or half-beetle swarm? It's the lamia, a creature whose appearance (and reproductive cycle) has varied substantially over four decades of D&D appearances. From blood-drinking monsters of 1st Edition to regal servants of Graz'zt in 5th Edition, the lamia has smelled of perfumed flowers and become a fey swarm of beetles along the way. Constant through its physical transformations are the lamia's ability to disguise itself and its desire to trick, beguile and ultimately consume humanoids. Join the
Monster ENCyclopedia
for a look at the D&D lamia.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Kraken
Every world has kraken legends. Gigantic tentacled creatures lurk in the watery depths, scheming and plotting so that they might grow in power with every new edition of D&D. Krakens think nothing of mutilating slaves and refer to their own mating rituals as the Hateful Compulsion. Are they proxies of demon lords, invaders from the Far Realm or the spawn of some even greater ocean threat? Join the
Monster ENCyclopedia
for a look at the D&D kraken.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Jackalwere
Be warned, this
Monster ENCyclopedia
entry might put you to sleep. If you gaze into its eyes, that is. Not quite a lycanthrope, the beguiling jackalwere has shapeshifted its way through five editions of the D&D game, from the 1st Edition
Monster Manual
right through to the 5th Edition
Monster Manual
Monster ENCyclopedia: Ixitxachitl
They dwell in the oceans, resemble manta rays and are fiercely loyal to the demon lord Demogorgon. The ixitxachitl has appeared in every edition of the game so far, and probably has one of the most mispronounced names in D&D history. This
Monster ENCyclopedia
entry examines the history of these evil, aquatic denizens from
Supplement II: Blackmoor
right through to
Out of the Abyss
Monster ENCyclopedia: Hook Horror
What creature has two arms, no hands, echolocation, an exoskeleton and enjoys eating either mushrooms or drow, depending which edition we're talking about? It's the hook horror! This
Monster ENCyclopedia
entry traces the development of the hook horror from a shy herbivore to an aggressive predator.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Galeb Duhr
It has been a little while since the
Monster ENCyclopedia
looked at
the flumph
, but this sporadic monster series is now back with the galeb duhr. Read on for the exciting story of how D&D's classic rock-man grew two extra limbs and shrank from 12 feet to 4 feet in just four editions.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Flumph
Was there ever any doubt about the flumph as the first choice of an 'F' monster for the Monster ENCyclopedia? After appearing only in relatively obscure sources for several editions, one of D&D's most notorious creatures received a promotion to a prime spot in the
5th Edition Monster Manual
. Join us for a look back at the thirty-three-and-a-third-year history of the flumph.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Ettin
Author's note: This series is back after an extended break. I knew that quite a few of the creatures I was planning to cover were going to be appearing in the 5th Edition
Monster Manual
, so I wanted to wait for that to be released before continuing. Unfortunately, a four month long postal strike stranded my copy in limbo. That copy of the
Monster Manual
is still missing in action, but I was able to buy another one during a recent trip to Australia, and finally finish this next instalment. My apologies for the delay!
Monster ENCyclopedia: Drider
Driders are half-spider, half-drow creatures created by the god Lolth from drow who fail a test designed to measure their worthiness. Appropriately then, the first appearance of the drider is in Q1: Queen of the Demonweb Pits. This is a series of posts about specific monsters from D&D's history. Each entry takes a look at the origin of one D&D creature, and tracks its appearances and evolution across different editions.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Catoblepas
The catoblepas was first described nearly two thousand years ago by Pliny the Elder, as a buffalo/boar hybrid with a deadly gaze. However, that's the legendary Ethiopian beast version, and not the D&D version. D&D has a much shorter publication history (thankfully, or these posts would be a lot longer), and since this is a series about the monsters of D&D, our catoblepas story starts with a single (uncredited) paragraph in The Strategic Review, Vol. II No. 2.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Barghest
The barghest originated in Dragon #26 in the Dragon's Bestiary column. This first appearance lacks an illustration, so D&D players would have only a written description of the barghest to start with. (The picture below comes from the later Planescape Campaign Setting). There is also no credit for the column, but in response to a letter in Dragon #30, the editor confirms that Gary Gygax was the creator of the barghest. This is a series of posts about specific monsters from D&D's history. Each entry takes a look at the origin of one D&D creature, and tracks its appearances and evolution across different editions.
Monster ENCyclopedia: Aarakocra
This is a series of posts about specific monsters from D&D's history. Each entry takes a look at the origin of one D&D creature, and tracks its appearances and evolution across different editions. Because this is the first post in this series, it starts with the first creature to appear in any A-Z of the denizens of the worlds of D&D, the aarakocra.
