The Arrival - Steam Whistle Biergärten
Steam Whistle Biergärten, the newest addition to Steam Whistle Roundhouse, takes inspiration from the bier halls of Munich.
Bringing a bit of Bavaria to the downtown core, the festive spot situated across from Rogers Centre and Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, celebrated their grand opening on Friday.
Take a look:
On tap
Steam Whistle brews the old-world way. Every batch follows the Reinheitsgebot (more commonly known as Bavarian Purity Act of 1516) - a set of regulations deeming only water, barley and hops can be used to brew beer. Yeast was added years later.
Their Pilsner is made with just four ingredients: spring water from Caledon, Golden Two Row Barley from Saskatchewan, Czech and Bavarian hops, and bottom-fermented lager yeast from Hungary, and is free of additives and preservatives.
Choose from four brews on tap ($6,12 oz) - Steam Whistle Pilsner and Unfiltered Pilsner, Von Bugle Munich Lager, and New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale – or shake things up with a beertail (Shandy, Radler, and Biercola: $7 ea).
For non-imbibers, there's a small selection of booze-free options ($4.50-$5).
Schnitzel, Späetzle & Sausages
An essential part of any bier hall is food.
Partnering with Toronto heavyweights, The Food Dudes, you'll find an array of traditional German fare of schnitzel ($23), sausages ($16-$18) and soft pretzels ($8-$10), alongside vegetarian and vegan options such as Beet Tartare ($12), Vegan Burger ($16) and Currywurst ($16), and Roasted Brussel Sprouts ($15).
Head chef Tyson Porcellato implements fresh and local ingredients, while incorporating Steam Whistle into condiments, cheese, nuts, soup, and batter. He even uses it to cure salmon in-house.
The kid's menu (Schnitzel Fingers $20, BBQ Cheese Burger $16, and Spätzle $15) is of course, booze-free.
Tucked away in the big black round, you'll find a bright modern space boasting dramatic two-storey ceiling, lush greenery, and communal seating.
The bar area along the back features glossy white tiles set in a herringbone pattern, brass taps, white corrugated metal base, and industrial metal stools. A shipping container outlined in bright green and white houses the kitchen in the back corner. Wood posts, beams, and benches throughout the dining room add a rustic warmth.
Beer-to-go and assorted merch can be purchased at the small shop located to the right of the entrance, and additional seating is on the patio out front.
Not-to-be-missed features: Tiles along an outer wall boast whimsical drawings of sausages, beer, pretzels, and other ingredients; And hanging from a post near the kitchen, an oversized squeezable jug to dress your pretzels and sausages with a completely customizable amount of spicy mustard.

'Can We Talk?' Uh, No./
Of the numerous radio, television and newspaper interviews I've done, only three of them have been with what I would call center-left media outlets. None of them were pleasant. The first one was positive only because the host and her producer were genuinely nice people who tried to let me have my say, while the guests exemplified liberal arrogance and condescension at its most irritating. You could almost imagine them thinking, "there, there" as they patted me on my nappy head - I still had hair back then – and humored me as a poor and misguided black soul taken in by the white slave masters.
I wrote about the exasperating encounter and swore I'd never do an interview with a liberal media outlet again. I took cruel pleasure in the news, announced less than four months later, that Air America, the radio network that sponsored the show, had gone belly up.
My second encounter was more of an ambush. I went on a morning radio show out of Pittsburgh, one I had done before, to discuss the topic, "Mainstream media vs. the Tea Party." The interview started out normally but quickly degenerated into a rant by the host about the racists in the Tea Party movement.
He then said that my participation in the movement made him question me and my attitude towards my own people, at which point I interrupted the interview and indignantly stated, "That was rude and completely uncalled for."
He didn't make an attempt to apologize, but ended the segment, after which his producer came on and was contrite about what had just happened. It didn't matter to me; I fired off a note to my publicist immediately after I hung up:
…[T]hat interview today was an ambush. I particularly resented the host saying that since there is a fringe racist element at some Tea Party rallies, that makes him question me. That was an insult and totally uncalled for given the respect I accorded him and his point of view throughout the interview. I don't know if you can convey that message to them - the producer seemed very apologetic at the end - but I feel like I'm owed an apology. This man knows nothing of my heart, where I come from or why I believe what I do. He has no basis for implying I'm a self-loathing black man for being involved with a movement of everyday Americans who simply believe in self-governance and liberty.
Needless to say, I never did that show again, and I never got my apology, either.
Regrettably, I'd forgotten my pledge never to talk to these elitists again, and I recently accepted a booking on The Thom Hartmann Show. He is apparently the top liberal radio host in the country, which makes him number eight overall, since the first seven are all conservatives.
Anyway, he was intrigued by my article about the "adult baby" and my use of him as a metaphor for the arrested development of many Americans when it comes to making responsible decisions about entitlement programs, especially Medicare.
He was intrigued only to the extent that it gave him an opportunity to cast conservatives, Republicans and Tea Party people as evil people who want to throw grandma off the cliff in favor of rich people. I argued that it was irresponsible not to reform Medicare since it was going to run out of money in less than two decades. He dismissed that as alarmist talk that he'd heard often in the past but had never amounted to anything.
I thought, but didn't say at the time because I couldn't get a word in edgewise, "Does that mean I can dismiss climate change as alarmist talk because it's been declared an imminent danger many times in the past without result?" I'm not too young to remember the cries back in the 1970s about global cooling and an imminent Ice Age. But I digress.
Not only did he dismiss the claims of Medicare's impending insolvency, he said this issue was central to whether we intend for America to be a "we" versus "me" society. That's where he ended the segment and thanked me for coming on the show. I lied and thanked him for having me – I wasn't thankful in the least, as the note I sent to my publicist confirms:
OK, the interview's in the books. Counting prep time, that's about 45 minutes of my life I can't get back!
I saw later that he had tweeted a teaser about the show on Twitter and used that insipid "'we' versus 'me' society" line again.
I tweeted back that it was unfair to millions of Americans like me, who give generously of our time, talent and treasure to feed, clothe, shelter and comfort our neighbors in need, to be labeled as a "me" society, simply because we believe government is a poor steward of our money – yes, Mr. Hartmann, our money, not yours or the government's – and therefore demand discipline and courage to fix what they broke before it disappears altogether.
He didn't respond.
I saw later that he used the same line in a television interview with Amanda Carey of the Daily Caller, who was simply too pleasant to challenge him on his insulting and inaccurate claim. As with my radio interview, he made sure to close out the segment with his pithy phrase so those would be the last words his audience heard.
His "we" versus "me" meme is a most deceptive form of propaganda, the false choice. The bloated, bureaucratic dinosaur called the federal government isn't the only option for caring for others. It is certainly not the most efficient or effective, unless the objective is to keep people in poverty or dependence.
Compassion at gunpoint, which is what government taxation and spending represent, is not morally superior to the voluntary outpouring of love and help from individual citizens. If anything, modern liberals are reminiscent of the people who paid others to go fight for them in the Civil War.
No, in fact, they're worse because they are loathe to spend their own money, whether for charity or voluntary donations to government programs.
The mindset that says to take what other people earn and "let government do it" frees you from the personal obligation of actually getting involved to help your neighbor, and it sanctions legal plunder through the force of the state, which from our founding was supposed to protect life, liberty and property, not be a threat to it.
The whole experience leaves me convinced that we are at an impasse here in this country, and a conflict of worldview and ideology is inevitable. Moreover, I won't allow myself to be used as a prop for some liberal's smug pronouncements of moral superiority again.

Men's Health Week June 11 – 17, 2018
Diabetes New Zealand is delighted to add their name and voice to Men's Health Week in 2018.
Men's Health Week is an international awareness campaign that encourages men to think about their health in general, about any issues they may have, and outlines easy steps all of us can take to reduce the likelihood or impact of any problems. The week is marked through Europe, the USA and Australia and more countries are added each year.
This year Men's Health Week will focus on both diabetes and on the health of men in rural areas where health issues are tackled in more isolated and less resourced areas and environments.
Men's Health Week uses a simple checklist to describe to men the various checks and tests that should be incorporated intoi a health regime. Many men find it too easy to ignore issues or delay getting issues attended to. Men's Health week provides men – and their partners and loved ones – with the opportunity to start the conversation.
And it can be easily taken from conversation to action with the campaign encouraging men to visit a Life or Unichem Pharmacy all through June – there are over 350 of them in NZ - to have a free Blackmores Health Check with the pharmacist and to discuss their checklist score. Men can even get a free blood test done while in pharmacies.
The Accuro What's Your Score? health check test can be done online on the Men's Health Week website.
The MHW campaign benefits from the time and support of a number of well-known New Zealand men who help deliver key messages while normalising perhaps greater attention to one's own health.
Rural men face special challenges
At least 640,000 Kiwis live rurally (14% of our population), making our rural population effectively New Zealand's second largest city. Unfortunately it is a city with lots of health issues simmering below the surface.
Nature, isolation, stress and long, hard hours takes their toll on the health of people living and working in rural settings. Use of health services drops as distance from them increases, and this drop is even higher for secondary or preventative health services.
Rural people have fewer diagnostic tests, cardiovascular referrals and prescriptions, less preventive care and lower health screening rates. Rural areas often have problems maintaining GP and pharmacy services.
Rural people need to cope with significant changes, more so than urban dwellers. They need to face up to changes in the rural industry (such as the massive growth in dairy farming, arrival of M-bovis etc), demographics with younger rural people moving away, climate change, natural disasters, economic, political and social changes.
These special challenges make it important for rural people to pay even greater attention to their health. Just like farmers check and maintain farm equipment, so they need to check and maintain their most important aset, their health.
Diabetes New Zealand is fully aware of the difficulties of living with diabetes in rural settings. The chance to make this special population group even more aware of their health is one the organisation embraces in Men's Health Week 2018.

The Bayou
Jimmy has been paddling kayaks for about 7 years. He found his way to paddling the way many people seem to -- looking for a great physical outlet that can be enjoyed without so much risk of injury. He was previously a weight lifter but after suffering a shoulder injury, he took up marathon running. This too led to injury and interruption of his fitness endeavors. It was then that he found kayaking.
Initially he began his paddle adventures on a 14 foot, plastic sit-on-top kayak. He paddled this boat in his home town of Lafayette, Louisiana for about two years, during which time he came to love his time on the water. He upgraded his boat to a 17 foot sea kayak. At that time he started doing a few races. Notably he took first place on his sea kayak at Battle on the Bayou in 2012. He also participated in Bluz Cruz -- a 22 mile race down the Mississippi River.
After paddling the sea kayak for about a year, he upgraded to an Epic V8 surfski. He found it to be faster and hassle-free and has been paddling it since. As a "lifelong" cajun, he paddles on the Vermillion River (actually a bayou), and Bayou Teche. He loves the remote area where he lives and paddles and enjoys the wildlife along the bayous, especially the alligators. As his paddling skills increase, he is working on transitioning to an Epic V10 Sport soon.
As the owner and operator for 25 years of the Hub City Diner in Lafayette (one of the top ten diners in all of Louisiana) , Jimmy understands hospitality. He finds unmatched hospitality in the paddle community and enjoys the camaraderie with other paddlers. As he says, "some of these people you paddle with, you see only once or twice a year, but it is always like meeting a long-lost friend." The generosity of the paddle community is demonstrated in an experience Jimmy had at the Bluz Cruz in 2014. On the night before the race, the owner of the bed and breakfast where he was staying approached Jimmy at 8:30 p.m. while Jimmy was eating dinner to tell him that a 150 year old oak tree on the property randomly split and crashed down on his vehicle holding his V8. The tree had split his boat in two. By 10:00 p.m. that evening, Jimmy had already received four offers of boats to borrow for the race the next day!
Next time you are in the Lafayette area, stop by and see Jimmy at Hub City Diner, or find him paddling on the bayous!

Australian Breast Cancer Research is dedicated to supporting medical research focused on the prevention, detection, management and treatment of breast cancer. Ultimately, we want to reduce the impact that breast cancer has on Australian families. With 48 women diagnosed each day, breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in Australia.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we are able to support both clinical and laboratory based research that is based at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Basil Hetzel Institute for Translational Health Research in Adelaide, South Australia.
Breast cancer research we support is translational in nature, which means that discoveries made in the labs are converted as quickly as possible into therapies that help people suffering with breast cancer.
Please be aware that Australian Breast Cancer Research does not participate in any face-to-face fundraising including doorknocking or at shopping centres. Donations can be made via mail, telephone (08 8445 2453) or on our website.
For every $1 you donate, we provide over $5 in grants to lifesaving breast cancer research.
This is because we are part of The Hospital Research Foundation (THRF) Group. Our administration costs are covered by THRF's commercial business activities (such as its lottery program), which also boosts our funds to research and patient care each year. You can feel proud knowing your donation makes an even bigger impact to the health and wellbeing of your community.

Our Logo
Chances are you are very familiar with the pink ribbon; it has become synonymous around the world for helping to raise breast cancer awareness. Since its debut in the early 1990's the ribbon has appeared in differing forms and shades of pink to help the breast cancer cause.
Our jigsaw inspired logo has been created to reflect the vast pieces of knowledge that have been gained about breast cancer through medical research so far. But to find the missing piece and complete the puzzle, medical research must continue so improved treatments, better health outcomes and ultimately a breast cancer cure can be found. That is why we, Australian Breast Cancer Research exists; to support this vital research. With your help we know we can eliminate breast cancer as a cause of suffering for Australian families.

While shopping for jewelry can be really fun, things can get stressful when you are in the market for an expensive item of jewelry.An inexperienced jewelry shopper might pay too much. This article contains some great tips to help you how to make your jewelry purchase.
Keep jewelry stored somewhere that is free from both air and humidity. Air and humidity can cause the metals of all types. Precious metals can easily be polished, but non-precious metals coated with a finish will never get back to their previous state.
If you want to buy sterling silver pieces, don't forget to take a magnet along with you. You are able to detect fake pieces of sterling jewelry with a magnet, since non-precious metals are drawn to magnets. You can identify sterling silver by its markings, for example "sterling, it might simply say," or ".925." If a particular piece is not stamped, it may not be sterling silver.
Pay attention to the types, white gold or yellow, and colors of jewelry that the person wears. This will give you get started in your search for the perfect item of jewelry for your loved one.
Always ask the jeweler about insurance policy before buying a new piece of jewelry. If you can get insurance, you can return it to the source and have it repaired. You can even find insurance in cause of theft or misplaced.
You need to know how to care of your jewelry. What works for a certain kind of stone or setting may not work for another. Ask a jeweler to make sure you know how to maintain your jewelry.
If you are presenting a gift to someone who has their own unusual style, find a one-of-a-kind piece or commission a piece designed specifically for her. A unique piece to match their personality shows thoughtfulness and creativity, necklace or bracelet conveys respect for and appreciation of the recipient's creativity and personality.
Plastic Wrap
Untangle knotted messes of delicate loops. It's easy to get frustrated with tangled necklaces, but try using some plastic wrap before you call it quits.Put the necklace on the plastic wrap and add a little baby oil.Use a sewing needle to untangle the knot. Wash it gently with dish soap and pat dry.
When you list jewelry for sale online, you need to make the presentation of the piece as attractive as possible. This is very important since customers cannot handle the jewelery if they are buying it online.
Whatever type of jewelry you are planning to buy, be sure to research it properly. You will now know the key to success having read this article. Use this advice to become a savvier jewelry shopper and owner.

"Mary, are you all right?" Heather asked, reaching out to her friend.
"Physically, yeah," Mary sniffed. Heather turned and looked behind her. The fire was already being brought under control. "I think they'll save the structure," Heather said, her voice assessing. "You'll be able to rebuild."
"How?" Mary wailed. "Rebuilding a bar is gonna be pretty low on the scale of priorities!"
"True," Beck agreed, "but there are empty buildings. You can set up temporary shop somewhere else, until we can rebuild it for you. Besides," he slanted a look at Jake out of the corner of his eye, "you have some...creative thinkers in your corner. You may be rebuilt faster than you think."
Mary gave a watery chuckle, then sighed. "It won't be the same," she said mournfully, shaking her head.
"What is?" Beck asked quietly. For a moment they remembered all that had been lost over the last two years, and they mourned for more than just the loss of the bar.
The five of them stood and watched the fire as it was brought under control. Bystanders and neighbours had quickly come forward to help the bar patrons get to the med-centre or to get home, and someone had gotten blankets for Mary and the others. Heather shivered slightly as her clothes slowly dried under her blanket, her hair matted with ash, her face streaked with soot. Beck noticed her shiver, and gently pulled her in front of him, enfolded her with him under his own blanket wrapping his arms snugly around her . He was as damp and dirty and cold as she was, but after a moment, his heat began to seep into her bones and he was a warm, solid comfort against her cold back.
They stood like that until the fire was extinguished, making comments to the others on occasion. At one point Jake confirmed that, as far as anyone could tell, everyone had gotten out of the bar without injury although there were several cases of mild smoke inhalation. They all stayed huddled around Mary, offering her what comfort they could as she watched her livelihood and her home burn before her eyes. On occasion they speculated as to the cause, and finally assumed it was a lightning strike. They would know more in the morning.
The group finally parted company when the firefighters confirmed the fire was completely extinguished and Eric returned to take Mary back to Jake and Emily's for the night. Nobody would be able to get inside to assess the damage and what could be salvaged until morning.
After the Green family was out of sight, Beck turned Heather in the direction of her house and they headed off slowly, his arm and blanket still wrapped around her.
They walked in exhausted silence for several minutes. The clouds had gone again, the storm a thing of the past. The streets were eerily silent after the excitement of the evening, bathed in the silver glow of the full moon hanging low in the sky
"Well," Beck said slowly, breaking their companionable silence, "this isn't quite how I expected our first date to go."
Heather chuckled. "Never let it be said you don't know how to show a girl a good time."
Beck laughed. "All things considered, I much preferred the bomb shelter."
Heather gave him a wide grin that was radiant even through the soot and grime on her face. She leaned towards him conspiratorially. "Me, too."
"Will we be able to rebuild it?" Heather asked after a moment as they continued to walk, her voice a little sad and wistful.
Beck sighed. "We'll try. But Mary's right. Rebuilding the bar isn't high on the list of priorities; it can't be. But we can find another place for her to run her business."
"Oh!" Heather cried sharply, stopping in her tracks. Beck gave her a startled look as he came to a halt beside her.
"What?" he demanded, looking around for whatever may have startled her.
"We probably lost the jukebox," she sighed sadly.
Beck gave her a glimmer of a smile. "Weren't you sick of the selection by now?" he asked.
"Oh, yeah – but it was the only source of music, really, that we had. Well, besides the Friday night bar band."
"I hear they're getting better."
Heather grinned. "So, you're telling me that the real reason you've stayed out of Bailey's on Friday nights is because you'd heard about that band?"
"From several blocks away, actually," Beck replied drily.
Heather stared at him, then threw back her head and laughed. She threw her arms around him and hugged him as she laughed. With a soundless sigh, Beck held her as tight as he could, his face buried in the crook of her neck, his cheek pressed against her damp, dirty hair. He closed his eyes and revelled in the sound and the feel of her laughing against him. For just a second, their reality receded, and they were just two people enjoying a moment together, without their day-to-day reality and all it meant hanging over them.
Tomorrow, they would again be faced with the problem of survival, trying to find a steady source of food and other supplies, making arrangements for Heather to go and negotiate the payment of grain from the neighbours, and now adding the rebuilding of Bailey's to the list of priorities. But for this moment, Beck thought, they were just two people enjoying each other's company.
Albeit dirty, damp and smelling strongly of smoke. With a grin he pulled back to look at her, smoothing her hair down around her face and lifting her chin to kiss her. It wasn't quite how he'd imagined kissing her in the moonlight, but it still felt pretty damn good.
After a few moments, Beck reluctantly broke the kiss. "As much as I'm enjoying this...I'm really cold. And dirty. And my nice new clothes have been completely ruined."
Heather laughed again, then pulled away and grabbed his hand. They started walking again, this time more quickly, towards her house.
"So," Heather grinned, "are you telling me that you once again have nothing to wear?"
A/N: This little story started off very differently (as you'll see when I post the last two prompts) - but for some reason, I couldn't match the tones. I finally decided that I was writing two different stories (even if there were similarities) and just let them go where they needed to go. And I know the title doesn't really match the story...again, the story was supposed to be a little different than what it turned out to be. Muses... ;D

These Fresh Corn Cakes with Peach Mustard Sauce will become a recipe favorite in your house. My family devours them in minutes. They are so yummy on the side of soups, salads, or just on their own for a fun snack and the perfect appetizer to serve at a party.
The sauce is made by combining jam and mustard in a bowl and then stirring. The recipe calls for peach jam, but you can use apricot as well. Even orange marmalade would be a fun combination if that's what you have on hand. Whatever your heart desires.
Fresh Corn Cakes with Peach Mustard Sauce are so easy to make. If you know how to flip pancakes then you can definitely make these corn cakes. It only takes about 10 minutes or less to whip these up and then cook on the stove in batches. If you have an electric griddle, use it to cook the corn cakes, so you can cook several at one time! I love a good easy and quick recipe. I hope you enjoy these fresh corn cakes as much as I do, and make them before corn is out of season!

In our I LOVE MY CITY series we've been exploring different workplaces.
"I feel that I was made to do my job" GP Phil Annetts says. We consider this to be the case broadly – Jesus has much for us to do as we join him in loving our city.
We gathered for a workplace forum to consider what the Christian faith has to say about health and social care. In the room were many actively involved in medical practice or training as GPs, surgeons, nurses working in hospitals and in hospises, along with those working with the YMCA, St. Petrocks, Foodback and other agencies. We all receive in some way from these.
Phil Annetts, a member of our senior leadership team and a local GP shared to open the evening, before we moved into 45 minutes of discussion around what people love about health and social care, the wrestles and struggles they face, the opportunities presented and support that would be appreciated.
Download the mp3 here: I love health and social care.
The Bible introduces us to a God who cares not just about 'the spiritual' but about bodies. The Christian faith is into physicality – presenting a God who cares about what goes in and out of our bodies, and what happens to them.
Humanity is made in God's image, with all the dignity and value that implies:
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under his feet. (Psalm 8)
We are made to live in shalom, meaning peace, flourishing, wholeness, soundness, including our bodies.
The Bible's story tells us of God's concern for wholeness for people.
Behold, I will bring to it [the city] health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security (Jeremiah 33:6)
And in Jesus we see God's healing hands:
"And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. " (Matthew 4:23)
The Christian expectation is that one day all pain and suffering and illness and death will be over. There will still be opportunity for increasing flourishing, but the needs for health and social care will be healed.
In the meantime we find a world populated by God's broken masterpieces.
Professor John Wyatt puts it this way:
"The original masterpiece, created with such love and embodying such artistry has become flawed, defaced, contaminated… the reflection of God's character is distorted and partially obscured. But through the imperfections, we can still see the outlines of the original masterpiece. It still inspires a sense of wonder at the underlying design.

The uncanny is defined with words like mysterious, strange and unsettling, and it is within these adjectives that the artist David Czupryn finds his verve. Of his practice, Czupryn often speaks of creating a certain 'flatness' within the cosmos of his paintings, to focus the 'deepness' of opaque materials from nature into paint, giving his art a peculiar kind of colourfulness.
In 'Primary Clock' Czupryn is interested in the tradition of still life painting, and whilst the artist's own production suggests the abstract, his work is deeply rooted in realist codes commonly associated with the verisimilitudes of still life practices.
'Primary Clock' however might also be read next to the Flemish tradition of 'vanitas' – a noun from the Latin vāïtas that means 'emptiness'. In dialogue with these symbolic artworks, the elongated yellow shape in the painting is the skull of a foetus, whilst the order of the miscellaneous objects in the painting take the shape of a letter 'U', evoking the Latin expression, memento mori; or, remember you will die.
The atomic clock of the painting's title keeps the time, but, in characteristic playfulness, the materials of all the objects in the painting, particularly the marble stone and wooden background, glint with the veneer of plastics. Indeed, there is something uncanny about the Czupryn's plastic-like painting, directed at the vanity and mortality of man and the world he makes.
the artist
Born in 1983 in Germany, David Czupryn graduated from the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie in 2015 (2007 – 2015) and has been working closely with ARTUNER since then. In 2016, he was the recipient of the 70th International Bergische Art Prize with a solo show at the Kunstmuseum Solingen in October 2017. In the same year, he was part of two shows featuring new works at the collection Uziyel in London and Palazzo Capris in Turin, both curated by ARTUNER. In 2018 his first major solo institutional show, He She It opened at Kunsthalle Darmstadt. He lives and works in Düsseldorf. In his surrealist paintings David Czupryn creates fantastic worlds, inhabited by humanoid hybrids and built with materials found at the intersection between nature, man-made polymers and imagination. His practice is mostly informed by a research of the uncanny, conducted from a mostly 'visceral' perspective. Indeed, although interested in psychoanalytical theories, Czupryn does not explore them in his works. His technique is seamless: the 'layer method' employed by Czupryn is very meticulous and the brushstrokes result invisible. Indeed, the surface of the painting is very flat, while also conveying a sense of deepness and richness of the materials depicted. The synthesis of nature and industrially engineered materials is a very important aspect of the artist's work. David Czupryn started his artistic career as a sculptor, with Prof Georg Herold and later decided to focus solely on painting in the classes of Professors Lucy McKenzie and Tomma Abts: he stopped sculpting altogether and put all his artworks in a storage. For months, all day long, he would practice on painting techniques, trompe l'oeil in particular, as taught by McKenzie. There has been a turning point in his subject matter in 2012, when he saw a late Gothic grisaille painting of a sculpture. Then, he took his earlier sculptures out of storage and started portraying them in painting. Surrealism and Metaphysical art (Salvador Dalì and Giorgio de Chirico in particular) are undoubtedly the first points of reference that come to mind when looking at David Czupryn's paintings. However, the artist's most important sources of inspiration are the works of the photographer Diane Arbus and American artist Matthew Barney.

A Brief History
The club was formed in 1978 as a result of a surge in interest in athletics locally, created by the coming of the English Schools Track and Field Championships to the track at, what is now, Brookfield Community School, in July of that year. Training took place during the summer on the cinder track at Queens Park Annexe with winter training at a variety of sports halls.
The Club founders were mostly local school teachers and included the head of Deincourt School (who was the first Chairman), Sandy Ellis, Jenny Weaver (later Guest) who was Secretary for a number of years. Other founder members were the late Frank Curry and Alan Plater. Brian and the late Irene Larder and Frank Gorman, became involved in around 1980.
Initially, competition was in the South Yorkshire T and F and X-C leagues, until we joined the National Young Athletes League (Boys) in the early 80's, winning promotion to the Northern Premier in our first season. Other leagues competed in since included Heart of England League, Central Girls League, Girls Young Athletes League, Notts Mini League, Notts Sportshall League, and Lincs Cross-Country League.
In the thirty plus years of our existence we have produced many County, Northern and National Champions, plus medallists too numerous to mention. When you consider our lack of good all-year round facilities for the first thirty years, we have vastly over-achieved both as a club and in the standard of athletes we have produced. This can be put down to the fact that any deficiencies were more than offset by the standard of coaching, support, enthusiasm and organisational back-up provided by the Club, coaches, team managers and parents.
Our Current Facilities
The Club moved its training base to Tupton Hall School in 2008 where we have the benefit of a floodlit all-weather track as well as an indoor sports hall and gym. Sadly, the track is not up to full competition standard, so we use the track at Spinkhill belonging to Mt St Mary's school to host League matches.
Currently we compete in the Derbyshire Mini Leagues (Track, Sportshall and X-C) which is for under 11, 13 & 15 athletes, the North Midlands X-C League for all ages, the UK Youth Development League which has a Lower category for u13 & 15's and an Upper for u17/20 athletes and the Northern Senior League. We also enter teams into road & cross-country events. There are also many open meetings as well as County, Regional and National Championships.

And continuing…
So when Pam pulled up in a sweet almost new looking Rav4 SUV, and I knew it would be at the least, a comfortable trip. We left following the embassy driver through the maze of streets that is Ouagadougou. We passed the peage and the open road stretched out before us. We drove for over 2 hours before getting to Koudougou. It is normally an hour and a half drive, but Pam hasn't driven much in Burkina outside of Ouaga and so we progress at a slightly slower speed than what the Embassy driver normally goes at. When we get to Koudougou we first have to stop at the chamber of commerce. Pam has to go in and meet with some people so Chelsea, her daughter who is in 6th grade, and I wait outside for her.
Note I sat up front for the whole trip. I asked Chelsea where she wanted to sit and she said she preferred the back. That was fine with me. I had some very nice conversations with Pam and the hours seemed to go by rather quickly. However, I was pretty tired from my lack of sleep the night before and would have liked at least a short nap. But, hey, who really needs to sleep anyway… We finally arrive at the meeting center and crowd is assembling inside. We wait about another half hour and then a procession of people, including Pam, enter and sit at the very nice half moon shaped table. Very official looking. Everyone has to acknowledge the special guests and give some sort of opening speech. When this finishes they all file out. I sit there thinking, was that it? It kinda seemed like a meeting, but it was surprisingly short. But oh no no. That was just the opening and the important people had just stepped outside to get their photo taken. Myself being an aspiring photographer I stepped outside as well and snapped some photos. Then the real meeting started. Several people gave PowerPoint presentations which were all pretty succinct and well put together. They should have been darn it, it was US State Department sponsoring it… After the powerpoints they have a question and answer session. The funny thing about Q and A in Africa is sometimes people stand up and talk for literally 15 minutes as the "question" but by the end you are left thinking and what was the question again? The content of the meeting was interesting, informing people how to export goods to the US. The thing that kept me awake though was that I decided I would be the official unofficial photographer. So I walked around and took pictures while people were talking, ect. I got some nice shots and it will be nice to give them to Pam.
The meeting ended about 12:45ish. We didn't leave the center until 1:15 and from there we weren't headed to Bobo yet, instead we were going to get lunch with the group. I can't complain though. I was pretty hungry and I knew the food will be free… So we go and have lunch. I get to talk in French which is fun and rewarding, and the food is, well, African food, well prepared but lacking variety. Lunch wrapped up quicker than I thought possible and we were on the road to Bobo by 2:30. This sounds good except that Koudougou isn't exactly on the road to Bobo. There is a shortcut, but we decided to stick to the paved roads which meant back tracking 30 minutes to get to the fork in the road. Up until this point we were still following the Embassy driver, but at the fork we split off. Then we were really on our own. We have just under 300km to go, but it is still a bit worrisome. We reached the halfway point at 4:15ish, with 178km to go I wonder if we will make it before nightfall which is obviously the goal. Thankfully, the road for the second half of the journey is really nice and Pam can go a bit faster. We got to Bobo at 6:15 just as it was getting to be dusk. Talk about just making it! I would like to mention that as we were driving to Bobo it rained. Really rained! It was amazing ;)
Once in Bobo, we went straight to our hotel, L'Auberge and checked in. We left for dinner pretty soon after, not wanting to be out too late. At first we thought we would just walk around and find a place, but that clearly wasn't going to work, so I racked my brain remembering what was on the map in the guide book. I got us to a place L'eau Vive, that I went to the last time I was there, but being Easter weekend and given the place is run by Nun's, needless to say it was closed. I did, however, think to ask the guard to direct us to a place called Le Mande I read about and knew was close by. He introduces us to a young punk kid who says he will take us there. A bit iffy, but still nothing to worry about. We start walking and I know we have to go over one more block and he leads us across a smaller side street. Obviously the most direct route, but I must admit I was a bit nervous. There were a bunch of people around in any case. We are almost to the end and Pam starts saying if it isn't like right here she wants to turn around. I agree with her, and ask our guide how much farther it is. He points just to the right and I see the sign for the restaurant. Saved! Once there I insist on him taking 200CFA for payment. He doesn't want to take it and I know it is because he wants to get us to go to a dance club after wards and wants to be a friend rather than a guide. Well, we didn't want a friend so I paid him.
All I can say is the food was excellent and worth the intrepid journey there. I also knew in my head how to go back and noted a well light street one block up. On our way back that is how we went. For dinner I ordered a salad which turned out to be very good indeed. For dessert Pam ordered a yogurt and I was like yeah whatever, but when they brought it out we learned it wasn't just any yogurt but awesome yogurt. We vowed to return the next day for dessert again! On the way back to the hotel I notice we are just blocks away from the bakery that the guide book raves about, making a mental resolve to go there for breakfast in the morning. Back at the hotel I read for a while and then fell asleep pretty effortlessly, even though my room was a bit hot in spite of my leaving the A/C on. I guess the unit just doesn't work that well.
We said we would try to leave the hotel at 7:00, go get breakfast and head out. Well I knock on Pam and Chelsea's door at 7:00 and they are both in their PJs still. Pam had a crazy night and couldn't get up. I guess the sister of someone who was at the meeting we went to wanted to meet with Pam. They had called during dinner, but never showed up. Well, long story short Pam gets confused into thinking another woman is the one she is looking for and then only discovers it is not her when the lady who she is really supposed to meet calls her on her cell phone. Talk about freaky! Anyway, Pam ends up having to sit and talk with family until like midnight… After hearing about the craziness of her night I say I will just go down by the pool and read while I wait for them. Which is what I did. For breakfast we went to the great bakery which has a restaurant attached to it too. I ordered an omelet and had them serve it on a baguette like Susan had it in Ouaga. My oh my was it wonderful. It really hit the spot. Sidenote, all over Burkina you signs for this new brand of fruit juice made in Burkina. It is nicely packaged and apparently tastes great. However, I read the label and see it is only 25% real fruit juice to which I think to myself, how can you still call it fruit juice! As a result of my disgust for this low percentage of real fruit juice, I have decided to boycott the new brand. No pulling the wool over my eyes. After breakfast I swing by the local Marina Market and get some cheese and ham pate to have on two baguettes for lunch. We pulled out of Bobo at 8:30. The 85 km trip took us about an hour and a half. It really makes we wish we weren't staying in Bobo on Saturday night. The back and forth two days in a row seemed a bit taxing for me as a passenger; I can't imagine driving it. But Pam wanted to stay in Bobo at the same hotel all three nights and she was the driver. I must admit it was a very nice hotel though. The biggest plus was they had wifi. But at 20,000CFA + a night they had better have wireless.
Once in Banfora we stopped at the hotel called La Canne a Sucre where we picked up a guide. The road to the Sindou Peaks is a dirt road and we aren't sure we will be able to find it. However, it turns out it is really simple to get to, but it was still nice to have a guide. For not having arranged for anything beforehand I was pretty impressed with our ability to show up and within 10 minutes have a guide in our car ready to direct us to our destination.
We stopped along the way and saw these basket weaving ladies who sit and weave in deep holes hollowed out of the ground. The dampness and humidity keep the reeds from snapping. I was able to climb down which was cool. I bought two baskets; one, because they were dirt cheap and two because I saw how they were made and met the women who made the baskets which makes them more significant somehow. The Peaks were another 50km from Banfora. We made good time getting there, but as we were driving I am definitely questioning in my head if these rock formations were worth the drive.
The landscape is pretty basic African plains, but with much more green than in Ouagadougou. Being to the south of the country, Bobo and Banfora get much more rain a have lusher scenery. So we were driving along and then out of now where this rock formation cropped up. The peaks were amazing. They seem kind of other worldly really. They were these spindly sand formations that rise up a good 40 to 50 ft into the air. You first ascend a rather defined step pathway and from there, once you are at the top, there are endless paths to explore. Chelsea really liked looking around. More than the peaks themselves though I think I was more enchanted by the view. Overlooking the plains from high above, seeing the barren fields dotted with palm trees, the green rice paddies lining the river banks, and livestock rooming free just tiny specks of color; the green canopy meeting the sky creating a breathtaking horizon. As I stand looking out I think "This is Africa". This is the Africa I picture in my mind and it is beautiful. We hiked around a bit taking it all in. I could sense I guide wanted to leave, but whatever. He had been there over 50 times this was our one and probably only chance to soak it all in. So we stayed until we had our fill ;)
On the way back to Banfora we stopped at The Lake of Sacred Hippos. I was skeptical but agreed to go. As long as were coming back to see the waterfalls the next day I didn't care. However, I have to say I ended up really enjoying the Hippo Lake. First off when we got there we decided to have lunch before striking out on the water in the little pirogue. As we were sitting getting things together, there was all of the sudden a big commotion. I quickly gathered from what they were saying that a cow had fallen into a hole. At first I tried to act uninterested. But really, have you ever seem a cow in a hole. I thought they meant like a large foundation size type hole. Oh no. It was a hole about 3 feet in diameter and 12 feet deep. It was actually the pit dug out for a pit latrine the owner was planning to build. So my curiosity gets the better of me and I head over to look at the spectacle. Sure enough there is this huge ox, really, crumpled up at the bottom of this well. Pam decides she needs to try and help and offers to let them tie a rope to her car and she will try and pull it out. Mind you this cow weighs probably close to a half ton. I am doubtful, but supportive. Pam tries it, but no luck. I can't say I'm surprised at this. She tries again and after getting her engine smoking but good, she stops and offers her apologies for not being more helpful. The village people are really nice about it and are actually very touched she offered to help. Later the villagers all got together and pulled the cow out. They did what the car couldn't do…
After the cow in the well incident we finally finished up lunch and went for our boat ride. The paddle guide was really a nice kid and we saw two hippos. We got close enough to see them quite clearly, but not too close that I felt in any danger. According to the guide there are not aggressive unless they have a baby they want to protect. Thankfully these hippos were sans children. As we are out on the lake I hear thunder which is an unfamiliar sound for me here, but a wonderful reminder of the promise of rain in Ouaga when the rainy season comes.
When we finally have enough of the Hippo Lake and turn down a chance to see a Sacred Baobob, we head for Banfora to drop off our guide and then it was off for Bobo. We had to leave between 4:00 and 4:30 at the latest to get back to Bobo before dark. We made it back in much less time than it took to get there. I even had time to jump in the pool and swim a bit before we went to dinner. Dinner on Saturday was at the Watinoma; a restaurant that François, the Embassy assistant, recommended. I track down directions and lead us there as the declared trip navigator. I like navigating actually and love maps. I have a good sense of direction and can draw out paths in my head. This is a very useful skill to have, especially in places where there are no street names. For dinner we order two pizzas, one of which is a special order ham and pineapple one. It wasn't on the menu and we only described to them what we wanted, so weren't sure what we would end up with. However, I am happy to report they did a great job with the pizzas. Not anything to write home about, errr…well I guess it was as I am writing about it now, but still good. Afterwards, true to our word we went back to Le Mande for a yogurt dessert. Luckily it was right around the corner from the Watinoma.
The yogurt was so good! Like frozen yogurt almost, just softer and not quite as cold. I can only imagine how much sugar it contained… I read for a while on Saturday night before going to sleep. The book I was reading called Water for Elephants is really very good and I wasn't too tired to read so I stayed up.
Sunday morning did not feel like Easter at all. I had to keep reminding myself that this is the day we celebrate Christ's triumph over death. We got up and left the hotel at 7:00 as planned. This time we went to a different place for breakfast; a place the guide book suggests has really good yogurt (different place than Le Mande, our first yogurt score). The yogurt here is much cheaper and even better in than the other place. Unlike most of the yogurt you get here in Ouaga this stuff was really thick and creamy. Yum! I also ordered a slice of the "Diplomate" pie looking thing. They couldn't explain to me what is was but it looked good. So feeling adventurous, I bought it. It turns out is was bread pudding and went great with the yogurt. Score two for Sara and good breakfasts. After breakfast we went and picked up another girl who is the daughter of an Embassy worker. While she and Chelsea aren't really friends per say we thought it would be nice to invite her, otherwise she would be stuck at her hotel all day. So after picking her up we made tracks to Bobo again. This time the drive goes faster. It also helps that the Domes and Waterfalls we want to see are close to the town unlike the peaks which were another hour away.
After the ease and success of Saturday's expedition we decided we didn't need to get a guide on Sunday. Besides these places are much closer, how hard can they be to find? Wrong. Unlike the road to the peaks which was a treelined colonial route, the domes and the falls are hidden pretty well. We kept driving and driving, occassionally stopping and asking people to point us in the right direction. We drove in the general direction of the mountain which seemed like a good idea. As we were driving though we realized we were smack in the middle of a sugar cane plantation. Nice. We were all still pretty calm, but I could tell we were all wishing we knew where to go. Then finally we happened across a tree lined road… so we took that road and thankfully found a sign pointing us to the domes and the falls.
We came across the domes first. So we stopped paid our entrance fee and hiked up the short path to the plateau. At first I wasn't all that impressed, but the longer we stayed and more adventurous we got climbing up the domes the cooler they became. They weren't quite as other worldy as the peaks, but they still seemed quite out of place. From the domes we ask the guy to point us in the direction of the falls. He gives us instructions and this time we are able to locate them. I still don't know how we found these places, and I don't know if I could find them again any easier if I went back a second time.
The falls were beautiful. We parked the car and hiked up a trail again. We got to the main area and had a nice little picnic of bread and cheese, a lovely pastry and some mangos we picked up from the lady selling them there. The only thing about the place was that it was terribly littered! You couldn't take a step without encountering a discarded plastic bag or sardine can. Pam and I are pretty appalled by this and decide we will start cleaning it up. The other tourists there and guides are at first dumbstruck by what we were doing. Then they started to thank us and then others joined in. Pretty soon there were 5 people picking up garbage and when we were done the place looked great. What a difference it makes to do something and not just complain. The guides who helped us said they would talk to the people who run the place about getting a garbage can up there and cleaning up the rest of the stuff we missed. It just seems unbelievable that people have such disregard for nature. I think part of the problem was also that there was so much garbage already it didn't seem like a big deal to add to it… it's the mentality of "Well everybody else has done it, why shouldn't I?"
After lunch and the trash pick up we went and played under the water falls. I didn't think it was a great idea what with the risk of possible parasites and such, but my logic was forced to take a backseat to fantasy of playing under the waterfalls in Africa. It was great fun and the water was so refreshing. I wasn't in for a long time and I hope nothing comes of it, but there is always a risk. We ended up staying at the falls for like 3 hours. We met a nice European couple who work Niger with the European Union. It turned out the guy is in charge of their water projects. I gave him my email and I hope to stay in touch with him. He seemed like he really knew what was going on. We actually ended up following them out back to Banfora. They had a guide and we decided it was better to follow them than try and find our own way back. The prospect of getting lost and not making it back to Bobo in time was not all that appealing. The road they took was crazy! It was truly offroading and it put the shocks and Pam's driving to the test. It went well though. She did a great job and it was great to have someone to follow.
Once we got back to the main road in Banfora we started the final return trip to Bobo. We got back before dark, always a good thing. I went and found directions to the restaurant I had been really wanting to go to called Le Zion. It is on the outskirts of town and hard to find, but I saw a poster advertising some concerts they were hosting and there were directions at the bottom. So after I showered and before I was supposed to meet Pam and Chelsea I walked down to the bakery to have a good look at the sign and write down the directions and phone number. We set off in search of Zion, but couldn't find it. We found the water tower in the directions mention, but that was it. So I called the number to the place and in French, thank you very much, arranged to meet the owner by the water tower to follow her back to the place. I wasn't sure what to expect, but her vehicle was impossible to miss; it was a big van painted all over with pictures and words promoting the Le Zion.
I should mention the owner is a French woman who married a Burkinabe man. She is a French gourmet chef and he is a musician. So they have this great place called Le Zion where the food is superb and there is almost always live music at night. While it was hard to find, it was well worth the hassle. The food was great. I ordered the capitane lasagna. They also had strawberry juice, so I had to try that and a mango milkshake for dessert. So good.
A funny little sidenote is that there were two little kids hanging out there. You could tell they were, Camille, the owner's sons. The little boy who was probably about 4 was so adorable. He came over and put his sunglasses on my face and then used our straws to make himself into an elephant using the straws as tusks :) The really amazing part was just as the music started going the kid falls asleep on some floor cushions spread out under the cabana. It was like the music lulled him to sleep. It was traditional African music, so I didn't really get the lulling feel right away, but after a while I could see how it might put someone to sleep.
After dinner we went back to the hotel for the last night. We decided to start our day on Monday at 7:30, going to the same place for breakfast as Sunday; the one with the good yogurt. On the way I stop and get a pain au raisin from the good bakery. It looks amazing, but is actually a bit of a disappointment in flavor. Oh well. From here we walked around and looked at the Old Mosque. Frankly I wasn't impressed. It was built in 1890, which isn't even all that old. By 1890 there were skyscrapers in Chicago and here they were still building with mud brick, which they are still building with today. But whatever.
We paid our hotel bill and went off looking to enjoy some of the national cultural festival. We saw some traditional fighting, which seemed a lot like wrestling. We went in and found we were like the only women in the crowd and the only white people for that matter. But hey, what can you do? So we stayed for a bit, but then decided to try and find some other exhibits. We went to the French Cultural center and found a few book vendors, but this still wasn't the main center of the festival. After asking like 5 people we finally figured out were we had to go. So, we drive across town…again. This time we found the main market area of the festival. I was expecting dancing and traditional music, but instead all we found were very pushy vendors and loud music played by cell phone promoters and banks. It was ridiculous. I did find some wooden salad tongs and ended up buying them. I probably paid more than I should have for them, but it was hot and I was flustered. Needless to say we didn't stay long at the festival. After shaking off the last vendor we beelined it to the car and hit the road back to Ouaga. We left Bobo at 11:30ish. The drive back was without incident. I was able to read some of my book as well which was nice. We stopped in Boromo, the halfway point, for lunch. The stop took about an hour, but we needed the break. I was back at my house by 5:30 which is pretty good time considering the long stop as well.
I only had like 60 pages left in my book so when I got home I went into my living room sat down and finished it. Reading the book I got lost in the story, not even aware anymore that I was reading. Those are the best kinds of books. I was considering seeing Leanna that night, but didn't feel like going out and she didn't really want to come over so instead I went to my office and talked to my Mom. The trip was all in all fantastic. I was not so ready or happy about going back to work, but there isn't much I can do about that. The only thing I am worried about is my face is kind of itchy. Around my chin was itchy starting on Saturday and I even noticed on Friday that the edge of my upper lip felt funny. Anyway, by Monday night my face was definitely reacting to something. I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything hoping it would clear up in the morning. At first I was afraid it was something from the waterfall waters, but then I remember the symptoms started showing up before then.
Monday morning I look in the mirror and my face is still reacting. But now it is even itchier. I go to work anyway and do my business as usual. I can't help but notice though that my face feels really hot and going out in the sun make it worse. In the morning I wash out filter one, again, hoping it will help get the high coliform counts under control. I also measure the large sand filter flow rate and see that it dropped considerably. The prefilter level was up and somehow leaves got in the basin again. I planned to have Pierre clean it out in the afternoon, but I forgot about it as I was trying to get my MES test done and prepare the chemicals for the test I want to run today, Wednesday.
For lunch I went to the cafeteria to say goodbye to Pascal. He was leaving for Bobo for two and a half months to do his memoir. I am actually quite happy about that. I thought he was already gone, but when I ran into him the night before I learned out I was mistaken. Anyway, the sauce on the rice at lunch was really good! It was some onion sauce that I don't remember having before. Things were pretty uneventful and since Pascal was leaving on a two o'clock bus he couldn't stay long which was fine. However, he brought with him some papers he had printed out. At first I didn't think anything of it, but then he showed them to me and they were about me! He had googled my name… And apparently there is a lot of information about me online. Darn all those impressive awards I received. This was a bit concerning and somewhat stalker-ish so I tried to act somewhat unfriendly about it and shrugged the whole thing off. Ugh. Since I had seen him around very infrequently for the last few months I thought all this had passed, but I guess not. I think it is time to be frank and tell him to bugger off.
Anyway, continuing on with my day…in the afternoon I just finished with the chemical preparations and washing my bottles to have them sterilized when 5:00 o'clock rolled around and it was time for my French lesson. I like my lessons, but man I hate how I have to stop what I am doing for them… But as I said I just finished with things when my teacher showed up so that was good. It was actually during the lesson I realized I forgot about seeing Pierre about the prefilter. Doah! At that point there was nothing I could do and it would have to wait until tomorrow. I worked so hard and so long all day that I was wiped by the end.
Leanna came over to hang out around 6:45ish because we hadn't had a chance to catch up for a whole week! We sat and chatted for a while and then decided to go grab dinner somewhere since I didn't feel like cooking anything and I didn't have much to work with at that. We originally planned to go to the Petites Delices but changed our minds and instead tried out the Austrian restaurant next door. It was good. Reasonable prices and air conditioning, what more could you want. And the food was great. I ordered a spinach strudel which I would highly recommend. It came with a spicy cucumber slaw that went great on the strudel.
I came home wrote the first half of this post then cashed in for the night. Praying my face would be fine the morning. Oh, two other points to note from Monday 1. I chatted online with Bonnie which was awesome. Great to hear from her… and 2. Katha put some pictures from Easter with family online which I got to see! Yeah!
I want to end the post here and get back to work, but I can't leave you hanging. So I will just go ahead and keep typing. This morning when I woke up I knew there was something wrong with my face. My eyes felt puffy and my face stiff. Sure enough I look in the mirror and the face I see was not happy. My eyes were super puffy above and below. The eyelids created concentric half circles. I remained calm, but quickly went to my office and looked some stuff up online. Again, somewhat concerned it is something serious. However, instinctively I think it is an allergic reaction and not something like a parasite. It is a rash and a reaction of sorts. Anyway, I go to see the nurse. Ever been to a medical place in a foreign country and have to speak a foreign language with the nurse? Yeah. That's what I thought. The great thing was the nurse was really nice. She wrote me a prescription for an antihistamine medication and crème to apply. She also did all the stuff with my insurance papers. I have coverage with my job which is great. I didn't think I would ever need it but I guess you never know which is why it is good to have. Once I got the prescription I wasted no time in going over to the pharmacy. I paid roughly a dollar fifty for my medicine and headed home. At home I read everything carefully. Thankfully there was information in French and English! So I take the pill and apply the cream. It seems like it is working. I will keep you up to date. I cancelled my tennis lesson for today and stayed home this morning finishing this post and staying out of the sun.
Thinking back over the weekend there are so many possibilities of what could have caused it. Could have been the soap at the hotel, the pillow which seemed a bit odd, the sheets, I went swimming in the pool there as well. I used some of Pam's sunscreen on my face, ate fish, many mangos and other foods… It is pretty much impossible to determine what has caused it and honestly I don't care. I just want it to go away! Final note: my housemates are officially moving out this week. The exchange about that information went really well and I can tell our talk the week before was definitely beneficial.
Pictures of the trip coming tomorrow!
Over and Out.

Become the ultimate Pokemon Go gym master with these advanced tips and tricks
If you've spent a significant amount of time playing Pokemon Go over the past few weeks, there's a good chance that you've managed to collect a few formidable Pokemon along the way. But now that you've got some powerful virtual friends, what are you supposed to do with them?
It's about time you started taking over some gyms.
Last week, we published a story about the strongest Pokemon in Pokemon Go. These are the Pokemon you should be most dedicated to finding, but no matter how strong an individual Pokemon is, it's still going to be weak to certain types of Pokemon and strong against others. Unfortunately, the game doesn't have any sort of database or instruction manual to explain this.
That didn't stop the internet from finding out anyway.
More From BGR
Check out The Silph Road's massive "Top DPS & Damage" spreadsheet, which can help you decide which Pokemon you should bring into any given battle. For example, as a fire type, Arcanine does massive damage against grass types, but flounders against water type Pokemon.
When you visit the spreadsheet, you're probably going to be overwhelmed. There are 10 tabs, all filled with rows and rows of text and numbers, but you really only need to focus on the first two. The first tab will show you the most powerful possible Pokemon you can acquire in descending order, while the second tab will show you the best matchups for your Pokemon depending on their movesets.
This is not going to be all that useful for casual players, but if you want to take over every gym in your city, it's an invaluable resource.

Antithesis of Jesus/
The more I read the gospels, the more I am bothered. Over the last 2-3 months, our Staff has been hanging out in Mark. To steal Pastor TC's words, "I feel further from the Lord, the more I study Mark. I have more questions than answers. I revere him and love him more than ever before." That captures it for me.
Jesus was profoundly mysterious in some of what he said and did in his earthly ministry. At the same time, he was masterfully strategic and thoroughly intentional! Here's a big thing growing in me recently. The more I learn Jesus, the more dumbfounded I become about current "church" practices and tactics. In fact, I want to take it as far as to say, I am seeing places where the church today (yes, my church, CCF!! and many other ones too) are doing the exact opposite of Jesus.
- Jesus traveled around from place to place. We stay put in one town and building. (unless we are on vacation)
- Jesus talked about the Father and ministered everywhere he went. We rarely talk about the Lord and minster practically nowhere but in the church building 90 minutes a week.
- Jesus said go! We say come!
- Jesus believed that sacred place was the heart of a man, where God dwells. We seem to believe that sacred space is our church for 90 minutes each Sunday morning, where God dwells.
- Jesus cast out demons left and right. Most of us wouldn't know a demon if we fell over one. Much less believe we can cast one out.
- Jesus healed with confident authority rooted in the Father. We pray with reserved doubt thinking that the results are somehow rooted in us!
- Jesus attracted massive crowds. We beg people to come and are disappointed in our attendance.
- Jesus spent his every day focused on the will of the Father. We spend our lives focused on us, our families, our jobs, our mortgages, our, our, our, our...
- Jesus took risks and did and said mind blowing things. We play it safe like pros.
Alright, let me stop...I could keep going, but I think you get my point.
Is all this just ok? He was Jesus, we are not, so let's go on with our life? Or should this bother us? And should we look to change it? What do you think?
