Wine as we know is an alcoholic beverage prepared by fermentation of fruit juices or berries. In many countries and cultures it is traditionally taken along with dinner. Many of us know about the various types of wine i.e. Red wine, White wine followed by a little less common Rose wine, Fortified wine, Port wine and so on
Coming to the topic of discussion for today, Have you ever heard about "Snake Wine"? If you have you are a part of a very few people who have, if you have not we will give you some insights. Snake wine is quite an uncommon type of wine which is mainly found in Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, etc. As the name suggests this wine is prepared using Snake but that's not the surprising part, how it is prepared and served is even more surprising. The history of discovery of this beverage is related to the healing medical benefits of snakes. The very first snake wine has been recorded to be used in China.
Snake wine is prepared by infusing a whole snake or its body parts in rice wine or grain alcohol in any closed bottle for a period of some months. Depending on the process of preparing it is majorly classified in two verities namely: Steeped and Mixed. To prepare steeped snake wine, large venomous snakes are placed into a glass jar of rice wine with some medical herbs then the whole arrangement is left steeping for months. We can even use smaller venoms as well. When prepared it can be consumed in small shots. For mixed snake wine, the body fluids of snakes are mixed into wine and can be consumed immediately as shots.
There is another form called as snake blood wine which is prepared by directly mixing the snake's blood in rice wine or grain alcohol. To get the blood of a snake, it is sliced along its belly.
If you are a bit confused thinking that a snake, whose bite is fatal for humans , would be dangerous for our body if anyone drinks the wine which will be containing whole of the poison along with the snake, RELAX. This wine, rather than being a threat to our health, is in fact full of medical benefits as the poison becomes neutralized by the alcohol and the only thing that remains is the medical benefits. Snake wines are known as natural medicine for problems like back pain, rheumatism, lumbago and other health conditions. Snake wine can remain effective for thousands of years and it is thought to increase male virility.
Soon after snake wine followed the scorpion vodka and over the years quite few a few other venomous insects and reptiles have been used to make these highly intoxicating drinks. As it is available in very few countries, it is quite costly. It also has very high alcohol content and should be consumed in small shots and not as a regular drink.
Let us know which is the costliest and/or weirdest type of wine you have ever tasted.

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the busiest cities in this world but it is a heaven for shopping and food and many other things. I recently went to the Japan for a short trip and I took this picture on the observation deck of their city hall in Shinjuku, and it just shows how busy and populated this city is. Japan is one of my favourite place to travel to and it is just beautiful.
This was the taken with the Fuji X100s, my travel camera of choice, the settings were 1/2 sec, f/2 and ISO 200. I tried to minimise the noise by keeping it at ISO 200 but I have to take multiple shots to get one that is sharp at that shutter speed. It was still a great view none the less.

Airplanes are bacterial incubators and viral dispersants, so on my way back to Seattle last Tuesday I knew I was in for an immunity challenge as I listened to the lady sitting in the seat in front of me snarfling, hacking and sneezing.
Alas something took hold Friday, so I too am a-hacking and sneezing this weekend as also is my cat, Beren. Now I know cats and humans do not share the common cold nor the flu (except perhaps the worrisome avian variety), but it is mighty coincidental he too is sneezing. After a couple of days of cat 'ah-ah-choo's, his symptoms have subsided and at no time did he exhibit any other symptoms -- certainly his appetite remains ever strong since he just sank his claws into my back asking for his afternoon feeding.
Off to Costco to buy a VCR. Both of my over five year old ones died in ways I could not fix. Gosh, prices have plummeted on these things.
Chicken soup tonight for me, little bits of chicken for the cats.

My wife tried taking a zinc-based product (Cold-Eez, I think its called) when she got the cold & believes it cut the severity and time of her cold significantly. When I got her cold I also tried them, and while I didn't have the same strong positive reaction to it she did, I think it did help a little.
Chicken soup & lots of liquid is the best, though. Hope you feel better soon!
Disposable indeed. I fixed the Goldstar a couple of times. Once it was a mechanical problem and another time a cracked solder joint around where the RCA connectors anchor onto the circuit board. Once I discovered the HiFi FM decoder chip was blown, it was curtains as the manufacturers do not make those available to the public, though were they, the cost would be prohibitive. Feh!
Oh well, I'm looking at VCR, DVD recorder machines (not TIVOs or Replays, hate to pay a perpetual usage fee). I just need something to transfer many of my original content tapes to DVD and to occasionally record an on-air program for later viewing.

Team Cycling Plus – Andy Ward
A week without the bike - but skipping keeps Andy's legs in shape!
Team Cycling Plus will be updating you each week with the highs and lows of their training as part of the team. A well earned holiday for Andy and the family – no bikes allowed!
Team member: Andy Ward
Serious cyclist, 41 year old Andy from
I've just spent half term in the South of France with Kirsty and the kids. Didn't take the bike – the family put up with enough cycling without me disappearing on holiday as well. We could see the Pyrenees from where we were staying, so I did get a few pangs, especially when I saw other riders heading off to the mountains. Still I'm off to the Alps next week, so shouldn't grumble. I'm going with a couple of mates and it's the first time any of us have taken on any real mountains, so we're a little bit nervous. We're travelling by Eurostar and TGV to Annecy and staying in a ski chalet in La Clusaz (http://www.gravite.co.uk) . The owners will pick us up at Annecy station, so I'm hoping for a trouble-free journey – at least the ash cloud won't stop us. The Tour de France goes through the village on the way to La Colombiere, so we should be able to do our own mini Etape.
The family holiday came at a bad time in my preparation for the Alps. No cycling, lots of French wine and (my main weakness) French cheeses are not normally what is recommended in the Know How section of Cycling Plus magazine. I had a word with Ben about this, but he told me not to worry as a week off the bike would probably do me some good, enabling me to come back to it with great enthusiasm. However, I didn't want to let all the training I'd done over the last few weeks go entirely to waste. I'm no jogger – old football injuries to my knees have scuppered that- and the holiday swimming pool is generally not the place for keeping fit, due to the presence of a giant inflatable crocodile and a 5 year old hanging off my shoulders. After some deliberation I think I found the solution, in the form of a… skipping rope! I've never really used one before, but a few sessions with that really worked my calves. The girls liked joining in too, although I was hopeless when it came to singing at the same time.
Who are Team Cycling Plus?
Team Cycling Plus powered by Verenti are readers Andy Ward, Kay Bowen, Malcolm Ratcliffe and Sam Shaw. We'll be following them in the magazine for the next few months as they train towards their personal cycling goals under the guidance of Team Wiggle's Ben Simmons and we will be publishing their weekly trials and tribulations here too.

text: PABLO PICASSO 1881-1973 Málaga 1881-1973 Mougins (Spanish) Title: Acrobats | Les Saltimbanques, 1905/1922 Technique: Hand Signed and Numbered Etching and Aquatint on Arches Wove Paper Paper Size: 66.8 x 48 cm. / 26.3 x 18.9 in. Image Size: 59 x 41.5 cm. / 23.2 x 16.3 in. Additional Information: The work is hand signed in pencil by the artist "Picasso" at the lower left margin. It is also hand numbered in pencil, from the edition of/200 at the lower left margin next to the signature. It is also signed and dated "Picasso 1905" in the plate on the lower right edge and inscribed in the plate "Gravé par Jacques Villon, 1922" in the lower left edge. This work was printed in 1922 in a limited edition of 200 signed and numbered impressions. It was published by Bernheim-Jeune, Éditeurs, Paris. After the First World War, Jacques Villon engraved a series of aquatints after paintings by the Modern Masters, such as Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Derain, Laurencin, Signac, Renoir, Cezanne, Vlaminck, Bonnard, Manet, Dufy, Modigiliani, Van Gogh, and others. This print was part of this series. Note: From late 1904 to the beginning of 1906, Picasso's work centred on a single theme: the saltimbanque, or itinerant circus performer. The theme of the circus and the circus performer had a long tradition in art and in literature, and had become especially prominent in French art of the late nineteenth century. A more immediate inspiration for Picasso came from performances of the Cirque Médrano, a circus that the artist attended frequently near his residence and studio in Montmartre. Literature: De Ginestet, C. & Pouillon, C. (1979). Jacques Villon; Les estampes et les Illustrations Catalogue Raisonné. Paris: Arts et Métiers Graphiques. Reference: de Ginestat & Pouillon 634

Yesterday I had to go to Forest Lake and was hoping to catch a delayed CP train 483 (Minneapolis-Superior) while on the way. These trains typically run during the night and their operation of late has been hard to predict so it would make for a nice catch. Reports had the train out of Minneapolis at 0710 so it would have been well on its way north by the time I needed to head south.
As I worked down Highway 23 I heard the dispatcher give a rail train a decent amount of time near Bruno to retrieve rail so it didn't look good for intercepting 483. I passed through Hinckley without hearing or seeing the CP train. However, on the way back home I stopped in Hinckley to catch the BNSF local delivering cars to the St. Croix Valley. It was nice to see them picking up a handful of loaded sand cars and delivering a number of empties.
After I got back in the car I heard the dispatcher talking to CP 5011 north. Apparently the train had issues on the southern part of the Hinckley Sub and was just now getting moving again. With this info I headed for Sandstone and caught them rolling across the Kettle River. The sun was filtered and the gusty winds at the bottom of the river valley eliminated any decent reflection but it was nice to see four EMDs up high.
From there I tried a pacing shot on a deserted Highway 23 with the train moving around 35 mph. CP 5011 is a new EMD rebuilt SD30C-ECO unit.
Given clouds and no nose light I headed up 23 and picked up Gus before cutting across 105 to catch it at Boylston where we hooked up with Kevin to snag 483 as the day drew to a close. The train had 112 cars, partly because CP is down to running it just twice a week (it had been tri-weekly).

Been awhile since I posted, I know! Life 'happens' and things get in the way but I'm back at least for today. 🙂
After a pretty non-existent summer here in Los Angeles we're finally having some downright hot weather, which I know some are loving and some are hating, (depending on where in our great city you happen to live.).
Down here at the beach it's not too bad – about 90 with a slight ocean breeze, but if you're up in the Valleys you're looking at up to 110 I hear – YEOW!
Personally I have come to accept the May Gray and June Gloom that we're used to seeing in the early summer months, but the fact that the cool, gray weather lasted into late August made lots of us feel like we got screwed out of a summer. We've also had ocean temps in the mid 50's – which is more typical for winter then summer where it should be in the high 60's to mid 70's by now.
I will admit that I got up early and took advantage of today's warmer weather, warming water, (mid 60's today), and lingering south swell to catch some waves at Crabs in Seal Beach. 😛
Wore a spring suit today, but tomorrow I'll have no trouble trunking it in a rash guard shirt and board shorts, for sure!
One of the perks of being a surfer who works from home – you can schedule your day around the waves…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 4, 2014
Contact: Alan Lowne, CEO, Saelig Company, Inc.
Tel: (585) 385-1750 Email: email@example.com
Fairport, NY. Saelig Company Inc. has introduced EasyLoader, a standalone In-Circuit Programmer/Loader designed to provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for electronic device manufacturers, as well as for hardware design companies and their customers. It allows code upgrades on JTAG/SPI/I2C-compliant devices (like FPGA/CPLD/EEprom/Flash, etc.) or microcontrollers at any time during development, testing, or production.
The small size and ease of use of the EasyLoader make it a unique device for the electronics manufacturing industry, usable by almost anyone without error. Once configured using a PC, it can be disconnected and repeatedly used for a particular electronic product. An intuitive red/green LED interface indicates the operation status, making it ideal for manufacturing line environments. This eliminates the need to pre-program before assembly as code releases can be loaded momentarily — just before a manufactured device is shipped to a customer.
When configured, the EasyLoader functions as a completely standalone device that does not require connection to a host PC, power cable or batteries. Initially, EasyLoader is connected to a host computer via a USB port and loaded with the programming information. The included Windows based software application provides a user-friendly interface to EasyLoader. During normal operation, EasyLoader connects to the debug connector on the target board and automatically starts loading and programming the target device when power is turned on. Operational status is shown by the two built-in Red and green LEDs.
Board Assembly House: the EasyLoader can be used to program PLDs as they come off the assembly line. It's easy to use, so minimal training is required for personnel. After initial configuration, the device does not require a computer connection for normal operation.
Firmware Updates Prior to Shipping: boards can be programmed just prior to shipping to the customer. This ensures that only the latest firmware will be used. It also adds further flexibility, because a board can be programmed with different security/ or capability settings based on the particular customer order. There is therefore no need to stock boards with different firmware; instead, each board can be programmed with the appropriate software as the order comes in.
Remote Firmware Update: both the compact size and ease of use make it possible to simply ship an EasyLoader to customers. It starts working as the power is turned on so it can be easily operated by anyone - no need to send an engineer to a remote site just to reprogram a customer's device or to ship a device back to the factory for an update or replacement.
Engineering: because the EasyLoader does not need a PC for normal operation, it is an ideal portable programming/loading solution where the debugging laboratory and engineering offices are in different locations.
Designed and made by Amfeltec Corp, EasyLoader is available now from Saelig Company, Inc. Fairport, NY.

12 Feb 2013
Only in Hamburg do you get: snow, sun and seagulls. What a bizarre time of year it is – when the world sinks into a grey, inky, darkness. I come from Cape Town and I must say that the weather in Hamburg is something you have to get used to. Slowly. Very slowly. But you do.
Sometimes the extreme cold just feels like the extreme heat of a summer's day. But what's really hard to get used to is: the sky is eternally tinged grey like a milky mess. I treasure every winter's day when the sky is blue – the seagulls are dancing in the air – screeching and enjoying the sun's warmth. For then my heart is also screeching.
I do enjoy looking at the photos I recently took in Cape Town. It helps. A little.

Let Go Of The Stuff/
Our culture, our experiences and even our family can contribute to creating fears and limitations that can hold us back from what we truly want. These circumstances or experiences can prevent us from personal growth and influence our happiness.
One of the things that can hold you back is a lack of vision. Having a clear picture in your mind's eye about what you desire and what makes you truly happy can be the catalyst in making a difference in getting what you want and the life that you truly want to live.
Everyone has his or her own negative beliefs. The key to letting go of those beliefs and thoughts is to first acknowledge and recognise what they are. After all, they are only thoughts and they may have no basis in reality. Often the fears and thoughts that hold us back exist only in our own minds.
Take the first step to letting go of the 'stuff' by making a decision to change. It might feel uncomfortable at first but once the decision is made and you've enlisted the right help to get you to where you want to be, the discomfort will eventually change from a road full of potholes to a smoother highway as you continue your journey.
You'll then have to be vigilant and continue to recognise when those false beliefs and irrational thoughts and fears arise. Recognise them for what they are and don't allow them to prevent you from doing what you truly desire.
Remember you don't have to do this on your own. Enlist some support to ensure you progress and make the change a permanent one.
If you'd like to join this conversation you can do so here. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Beer & Food Pairing
More Paid "Hangover Days"
New Year's is a kind of weird holiday. When my wife worked in the corporate world she used to get half of New Year's Eve off paid and all of New Year's Day off paid. Basically New Year's Day is "Hangover Day" and nobody wants to work. How would my boss feel if I walked in the office on March 17th and said, "I'm leaving early today to go out and drink heavily. I want you to pay me for the rest of today, and tomorrow because I'll be too hung over to work." If my boss complained I could play the discrimination card because it's Saint Patrick's day and that is how I celebrate my cultural heritage. Why is New Year's day a paid hangover day (for people who get paid holidays, that is) but the day after St.Patrick's day and Cinco De Mayo aren't? I know a few people who'd never come to work if we got paid days off for hangovers. I always thought it was weird that the precedent people want to set for their entire year is getting totally sloshed and waking up feeling miserable. It's no wonder that people make resolutions to cut back on their drinking the next day.
If you've made a resolution to drink better beer and/or to learn more about beer in 2011, please come join me at the Bellingham Technical College for some beer tastings. On Jan.15th we're doing an introduction to Craft Beer Tasting with food pairings. February 22nd is a Winter Beer Tasting class with a number of local and imported strong ales, barley wines, and other winter warmers. In April I will be teaching a beginner's homebrew class again and a new Beer of the British Isles tasting class which should be really fun to do. For more info on the classes check out our Bellingham's Best Beer blog. Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2011, Cheers!
Editor's Note: I was really hungover on New Year's Day and was checking my email on my iPhone in one of the few Cafes open (Thank you for the coffee, Mount Bakery!). Anthony had just sent me this blog to post and a few things went through my mind. One was, "What the hell is Anthony doing writing a blog at 9am on New Year's Day?" and "I wish I was getting paid today" and "Yep, I feel pretty stupid about starting my new year with a hangover". Then I forgot about posting his blog it until today. Sorry Anthony.
Brewmaster's Dinner at Semiahmoo
The first dinner courses were also eye openers for me. I was always a little picky since I was a kid. I've never liked dark meat or eating fat, skin or meat on the bone. That said, I've never been a big fan of duck, as it is usually dark and pretty fatty. The duck confit was delicious with the meat in thin strips on top of comte cheese and mizuna greens. So, two foods in a row that I usually wouldn't eat, but really enjoyed, and they went well with the beers paired with them. The next dinner course was exciting for me because I had never had sturgeon before. I was surprised by this meaty fish. Chef Andy really impressed me with this well thought out dish and pairing. The sturgeon was served on a bed of Beluga lentils that resembled caviar and a curry cream sauce. It was paired with Boundary's IPA and I liked how he paired an English curry (with Indian influence) with an English beer style (again with an Indian connection). So it impressed me on two levels. Not only was it well thought out and clever, but it also tasted great. That would have been the high note for me if it wasn't for the next course, which I think was most people's favorite. The malted beef tenderloin was a chocolate malt encrusted fillet with rogue bleu cheese on top. Underneath this beautiful tender meat was a bed of roasted acorn squash and a wort infused demi. We had to find an extra plate and split it up between us at my table because we loved this so much. It was paired with Imperial Oatmeal Stout which might sound like a big heavy beer but it worked on several levels with this dish. Imperial oatmeal stout goes well with creamy bleu cheeses and it also went well with the chocolate malt encrusted around the tenderloin. Dessert was a caramelized fig tart paired with Old Bounder Barley wine, which was a nice way to finish up the night. Well done Chef Andy!
We ate all the cheese & drank all the beer
This last month I taught my first craft beer tasting class and my second homebrewing class at the Bellingham Technical College. First of all I want to apologize to the people who missed the tasting class due to the date change. Secondly, I want to sincerely thank everyone who came to both classes. I'm glad that there are so many people in Bellingham who are so beer-centric. I am going to take a break from the homebrewing class this Winter quarter and come back in the Spring. This Winter I'm working with the college right now to do two tasting classes, the "Introduction to Craft Beer Styles Tasting" and a "Winter Beer Tasting".
The tasting class went pretty well but I think next time will be even better. We started with a Kolsch and Pilsner from Chuckanut Brewery that were very tasty. From Boundary Bay Brewery we had ESB, Scotch Ale, IPA, Imperial Oatmeal Stout, and Old Bounder. I meant to replace one of those with a beer from the North Fork Brewery, but didn't get my act together. Next time I will make sure to make that happen. Finishing it all off was a Kriek Lambic (cheery sour beer) from Belgium. Most of the beers had food paired with them. My favorite was my wife's lavender cookies with the IPA. I wanted to focus on locally made and/or available food and beer for two reasons. First of all, because I want to support local business. And because I didn't want to offer hard to find beers. If people really liked them it would be frustrating for them to know that they can't get them in town.
I bought the cheese and kriek at my local Haggen's, though I would like to get the cheese at Quell Fromage next time. I got the deli meat from Old World Deli and oh, man was it good. Thanks to Trevor Tomlinson at Old World for helping me make such difficult decisions. I also got Gouda cheese made in Ferndale along with apples and pears from Bellewood Acres. Sorry again to those who missed the class. I know it's cruel to say this, but it was great having extra for the rest of us.
I had about three times as many people sign up for the introduction to homebrewing class this time around, which led to some changes in the class structure. Compared to the last class, this one was less hands on and more demonstration. But the goal remains the same. The class will help people get started brewing on their own at home. This time it went a little smoother and I had better timing than the last time around which meant everyone got to leave on time which was nice. Thank you to Nick Crandall for his help. I really couldn't do it with out him. After talking about beer for three hours it was great to go home and enjoy one. If only the Huskies could have pulled out a victory that night, it would have been about a perfect day for me. Cheers!
I would love to get any feedback from anyone who took either class. You can comment on this blog or send me an email to: aastone(at)gmail.com

This week I've picked the book back up, Becoming Myself, by Stasi Eldridge. It's a beautiful book that reminds me of how God sees me, as His beloved and that no matter where I am on my journey of becoming, He loves me.
This morning, one statement stood out to me: 'You cannot become yourself if you do not know who you are to become.'
Wow, lets just take that in for a moment……
Years ago when I pinned the vision statement equip and empower women to become the woman they are created to be, inside and out, I didn't really think much about women who had no clue about who they were. The thought never crossed my mind. Instead, I thought more about the women who were determined, go-getters looking to pursue a dream that God had placed in their heart and it was our job to help unlock and release them to go do it!
Yes, of course that's all great and we still pursue those women and have a place for them. They are, after all, the leaders in our community, church, families & businesses. But in the more recent years, there's been a new woman that's immerged. One that has caught our attention, pricked our hearts and helped us get laser focus.
The woman who has yet to discover who she is to become.
I heard it once said that the saddest thing in life is not knowing your purpose; God's purpose. In essence, who you are created to be. Without that, what is the meaning of life?
And so, with that woman in mind, the CW Family came together to find a way we could help women of every age, race, culture and background to discover one thing: Who are you to become?
With our 6 core values in hand, the CW curriculum is on its way to giving birth. With the curriculum, women around the world will be able to:
- Explore our six core principles: Dreams ~ Healing ~ Identity ~ Health ~Purpose ~ Inside Out
- Discover and embrace their true identity in Christ through a journey of healing, ultimately revealing God's purpose and plan for their life.
- Inner work always produces outer results. Curriculum will conclude with an Inside/Out chapter that will guide women in identifying their personal style based on body shape and taste.
As each woman walks through the 6 principles, they will discover their identity, their purpose and ultimately know who they are to become. I think it's appropriate to take another moment to take that in……
Will you be there as we help women realize who they are created to be? Is that you? Is that your daughter, sister, mother, best friend?
2015 is going to be a journey for the CW Family as we prayerfully seek God's direction on what He wants to say to His daughters. Will you join us as we pray?

It is certainly impossible to be excellent all the time and each lady at some point seems to be at the previous images and wonders what made her gown that method. I cut the dimensions 14. I lengthened it at the waist by an inch and I added 3 inches to the hem. As promised here is the DIY TUTORIAL on my PUFF SLEEVE DRESS. Most likely not, but some DIY remedy is a straightforward technique to flex some creativity and improve your existing look.
Make it a cute health club shirt, poolside coverup, or a casual social gathering prime. In the event you solely have 10 minutes to get crafty as we speak, then you can nonetheless provide you with one thing funky and new utilizing one in all these ideas. I like the best way it made me really feel "held in".
Subsequent type tribes in the pedestrianised space of Harajuku included American impressed rock'n'roll looks, and ultimately the Harajuku women (and boys) took inspiration from the worlds of Japanese cinema, comics and animations, placing together outfits to replicate pastel-hued Lolitas and kick-ass superheroes, every id realised with a cartoonish flair.
Past the catwalk lies the road – It is all right here," mentioned unique street type photographer Invoice Cunningham – and beyond the exhibitionist fashion blogger thirsty for a photograph op, the pavement holds the important thing to these individual sleights of hand which make clothes distinctive to the particular person sporting it. Whether the garments have simply been shaped by the lifetime of their wearer, or whether they had been altered to swimsuit, the narratives which accompany vernacular vogue are sometimes a lot richer and extra compelling than those who accompany virgin ready-to-put on.
The ultimate software for the Fendi fan allows you to classify your favourite seems by the label and locate the closest retailer. Go grab an outdated T-shirt, ideally one that's a bit massive on you, and comply with these directions Allie of Adventures of a Middle Sister will take it from there.

Jiuzhai Valley will reopen on March 8, exactly seven months after being devastated by a strong earthquake.
Jiuzhai Valley Scenic Spot will open to visitors part of its area, starting on March 8, after a 7-month closing. The area to be opened will include the sections from the entrance of the scenic spot to Changhai Lake and the number of visitors will be limited to 2000 per day.
Some of the scenic park's most popular sites, including the Nuorilang Waterfall, Long Lake, Mirror Lake, Five-Colour Lake and Shuzheng Lakes, will be open to the public, the tourism office of the Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture, in south-western Sichuan province, said in a statement.
Jiuzhai Valley has received more than 32 million tourists from home and abroad over the past 10 years. It closed on Aug. 8 last year due to the earthquake.
To protect the site, the office stipulated the following crowd-control and safety measures:
- Only up to 2,000 visitors a day will be allowed to enter the park (daily opening time 8:00-17:00)
- All visitors must have insurance coverage
- Only group tours will be accepted; no individual tourist will be allowed to enter

Jeepin' Through Oregon!
When you read this story, always keep in mind that I have a tendency to break off into tangents.. so forgive me now!
I'll keep this part simple. This all started back in November 2017 when Southwest Airlines was having their $54 one-way fares to locations around the US. I saw the Ad several times, and continued to scroll. But then there was that one time... that one time you get a quick idea in your head, like "what if... I went to Denver." Or, "what if I went to San Diego.." (since I've never been). I tend to do this often. I love to look up destinations, map out fun journeys, and check out unique restaurants and hole-in-the-wall eateries. Maybe one day I could become a food blogger and run around cities inhaling the tacos from food trucks -- Calm yourself, Megan, you're getting ahead of yourself already. Alright so it all started with the 'what if' moment. I clicked the Ad, went to the drop down menu and scrolled to see what options I had. I mean, let's be real, there's maybe a good 3 to 4 cities on there that caught my attention. But for some reason, I was attracted to the idea of going into Portland.
I want to say it was the combo of wanting to get-away (see what I did there Southwest, wink) and the fact my youngest sister just started college at OSU - so why not, right?
Checked my calendar. Winter season for me lasts until end of February... so boom. February 8-12th it was. I booked my flight with Conrad (the bf) for $107 total (each) round-trip, and put it in the calendar. It was set.
Two months pass..... and I barely had plans laid out. Confession: A good two weeks before we flew out, I started to actually get my butt in gear and started planning out our trip. Now, let me tell you: BEFORE we got to Portland, I had mapped out several AirBnB locations, hotels, and VRBO options for us to stay at nightly. However, this completely shifted upon arrival to Portland Airport (PDX).
So there it is. Our five day, four night travel route through the western side of Oregon. I started Yelp'ing food options, breweries, places to see. I checked other bloggers pages, looked at people's recommendations for low-key spots. I did some hardcore researching, let me tell ya.
We landed in Portland around 1:00pm on Thursday. Pilot was generous enough to let us know that it was cloudy and 44, so it was apparently nice day. Let's be realistic, in California, as most of us know - 44 degrees is a chilly night in the winter. So it was a different type of cold outside here in Portland!
We grabbed our bags and head over to Enterprise where I had reserved us a "Standard" vehicle for the drive. After jumping through a couple hoops, I gave the attendant my card for payment, and he says "USAA, huh? Did you book us through them?"
"....No, actually I booked you through your site."
"Oh honey, I'm going to cancel this reservation for you, trust me, go take a seat and reserve us again through USAA. I promise it will be worth it," he was so confident, so of course I did it.
Around 10 minutes later I finished and went back to him with my card for payment and a new reservation number. He pulls up the account and sure enough, we saved over $60 and upgraded to a larger "Full Size" vehicle. He processes our paperwork and sends us upstairs where the cars are. We got lucky enough to meet someone who showed us to our nice Cadillac.. something. It looked like a nice car! But then she asked us what we were doing in Portland, and I told her about our fun half-planned full circle that we're about to do. She informs us that "if we're going to be hitting the National Forests and Crater Lake, we should consider a 4x4 vehicle" and points to a gorgeous new(er) charcoal gray Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I was so sold. We upgraded again (for only $80 more the whole weekend), jumped in the car and took off. As we hit the road to Tillamook, Conrad and I fell in love with the car, and quickly realized the size of this beast. We could definitely camp out of it if we wanted....
So we pondered and thought about it - within seconds we agreed it would be so worth it!
I started as driver of the journey for the first leg of the trip. We followed our map and went straight for Tillamook to make sure we get to the Cheese Factory before they close (which was actually not until 6pm, we had plenty of time).
About halfway into the trip, we came across this nice pull-over area in the Tillamook National Forest where people could stop and stretch, take pictures, whatever. I chose to pull off because it looked like there was this road on the side of the parking area that could maybe lead us to some cool viewpoint. I started driving up the road, further and further into the clouds, and smaller the road. First off, the potholes in this road were craters. MASSIVE holes - I should have just turned back then. But nope, that's not very normal of me. I kept driving further and further.. and the road got smaller and smaller..
Fortunately nothing crazy happened. Unfortunately, this road was super slick from the mud, so I had to do a 6-point turn to make sure we didn't slide off the side of the hill. Obviously I didn't (because I'm a damn good driver) so we went back down the path and got back on the main road. Come to find out it was in fact not a road, it's a hiking path that I just drove up. So no cool viewpoint this time.
<--- Oops.
Hey what's a good adventure without a little detour, huh!? ;) We carried on and finally landed at our destination.
The Tillamook Cheese Factory
My recommendation: TRY THE GRILLED CHEESE and dip that amazingness into their tomato soup. Ohhhhh-em-gee #noregrets people! BEST I've had yet! We ate at their cafe, then went over and shopped at their cheese store. We learned how cows make milk.. and a little bit about how cheese is created. We left there with a bag of Colby Jack Tillamoo's and a block of medium cheddar. Yum yum yum.
Oh and before we hit the road to our next stop... I got me a picture in the Tillamook Cheese Bus...
The next stop on the itinerary was a Brewery just minutes from the cheese factory: Pelican Brewery. We stopped in for a couple of their beers, and an awesome chat with the bartender who gave us a great tips on places to see while we're in Oregon!
After that, we cruised down highway 101 until the sun was no longer visible. It was already a cloudy day, so it was a quick sunset on day one!
We then cut across Siskiyou National Forest to close out our night in Salem, Oregon - the state's capital. We got into town around 7 or 8pm, so we drove around to see what we could do in a big city up here. Thanks to my handy Yelp App, I came across this little place called The Victory Club in downtown. It took us a good 10 minutes to even find it, and we were very close to letting that one go to find something easier! But luckily the security guy on duty that night took the long route to the bathrooms and ran into us. He asked if we were lost (because I clearly probably looked it) and then guide us to the Victory Club. Yayyy success! I ordered whatever beer the bartender recommended (which btw: I couldn't tell you a single beer that I drank on this trip - sorry) and also 2 chicken tacos to settle my hungry belly! Delicious! Nothing short of satisfied! We also happened to hit this place on Thursday night Karaoke - so we had some awesome entertainment as well!
After filling up on yummies, we head out to a local 24 hour fitness to clean up and prep for our first night on the road. If ever a time that my gym membership came in handy - it was this time.
We woke up in Salem around 7 am to start the next leg of the journey. Today was the day I get to see my youngest sister at Oregon State University, and then we planned on driving up to Crater Lake around sunset. So we hit the road after grabbing that morning coffee. The distance from Salem to Corvallis is actually quite short - 45 minutes-ish. Though I believe it would be shorter if the speed limit on the freeway was 65.. or 70 mph (it was always fluctuating between 50 - 65 mph). It's a much slower lifestyle outside of the Bay Area, and it's funny how surprised we all get when we're forced to slowwww downnn a bit.
Anyways, we got into Corvallis around 10:45 am and toured ourselves through the town and school to see what it was all about. It was a very cute town with a lot of brick housing (which I LOVE!). We met my sister, Melly, around noon, after her class was out. Touring her dorm room was awesome, but the Chi Omega sorority she's in, was WAY cool! The girls have such a beautiful house with so much space! Really made me reminisce on the good days... not really, but it reminded me of those days I used to party at SJSU! Good times, friends, good times! After walking the school, we went and ate at this common spot (which we saw in basically every city) called McMenamin's.
After grubbing and relaxing a bit, we hit the road for our next adventure: Crater Lake. I was SO excited to get there. It honestly took us somewhere between 3-4 hours to get into the mountain that the lake is on. But this is also where things got a little… unexpected!
Sun had just set and the roads were very dark. Not paying attention to the road closures - we head straight for the North Gate entrance in hopes we could make it to Rim Village for our overnight stay. I had this whole idea in my head that we could camp overnight at Rim Village, then wake up and hike the Lake at sunrise. Nope. Not tonight at least! As we turned left at the road leading to Rim Village (the Northern gate entrance), we slammed on our breaks as we noticed.. the gate was closed, and the snow had not been plowed AT ALL on this road. There was absolutely no way we were getting to the Lake this way.
With NO service, I looked at my handy paper map and calculated it would take us maybe another hour and half to get allll the way around the lake to the South entrance. At this point, it was super late and we were completely unsure with what to do. However… I was not leaving without seeing Crater Lake!
We drove around 10 miles backwards and slept overnight at a small rest stop that we had seen on the road.
Even though it was maybe 12 degrees outside when we woke up - we still made our trek up to the Lake.
We drove the hour and a half around the Lake to the Southern entrance and made it to the top of Crater Lake before they opened the property up to tourists. It was unreal. The air was so cold and made it extremely hard to breath. Wind was a whopping 30 mph up there, and winter was definitely in full swing! But we still did it (taking breaks to go back to the car to avoid freezing).
Conrad even resort to some socks as gloves because it was too cold to look for his other gloves. (see below!)
After taking a handful of photos and freezing while stomping through the snow, we finally head out to get to our next destination: Bend, Oregon. It honestly took a good 15 minutes for my fingers to gain some feeling again. But that's okay :) Worth itttt!
This was when we started making random stops at random locations along the road, just so we can get a feel for the nature out there! We stopped at this little view that overlooked a river, which was really neat!
Once in the town of Bend, we hit up the first food spot that caught our attention on Yelp, called Bangers & Brews. We were so hungry!
What did I have? You got it - an total Banger… and a local Brew. :)
We cruised through Bend for a little bit, hitting up some local spots and enjoying the gorgeous (much warmer) weather after being at Crater Lake all day. Then when the time was right, we hit the road again, and hoped to make it to Mt. Hood National Forest around sunset. Which… we almost did!
We instead got to see the sun set behind Mt. Hood as we got closer, and boyyyy was that a sight to see! Instead, we pulled over and watched this insane orange and pink sunset behind the snow-covered Mt Hood, and then continued the journey after.
After a climbing through the Mt. Hood National Forest, we decided to stop at a little lodge in the mountain and sleep overnight in the parking lot till morning. Another longgg chilly night!
We woke up and head straight through the other side of the hill so we could go chase waterfalls down the Columbia River Gorge. This.. was.. SO FUN! We looked up all the biggest waterfalls, then hiked to each of them - making sure to capture a polaroid and a backpack pin to show our successes!
We then crossed over the Bridge of the Gods into Washington so we could cruise along the Gorge into Vancouver.
With one night left on this trip, we ended up going into Portland for our last night, and basically stalked every block for the taco trucks, and local favorites. We agreed to spend our remaining fund (from the trip) on tons of small bites and brews that Portland had to offer. I was so stuffed!
Well.. after all that food, we literally slept as if we were comatose. But I have to admit again.. it was totally worth it! We ordered small portions of different foods that way we could try more and more! But as you can see in several of my selfies, I was exhausted and happy to be heading home.
Before our flight at 1pm, we took a drive through Portland to check out the beautiful housing, structures, and parks. We ended up at the view that overlook the entire city. Then we head over to the Airport.. dropped off my favorite rental car, and flew back to San Jose.
Total trip miles driven: 1,081
I highly recommend this trip to anyone!

Gluten Free at Disney Baseline Tap House/
Baseline Tap House is one of the newer offerings at Disney's Hollywood Studios and while we were there last week we stopped by to check out their Gluten Free offerings!
I want to start by sharing a little bit about this place. First of all Baseline Tap House is located inside Disney's Hollywood Studios right next door to Sci Fi Dine In.
We love the style and vibe of this place, and it's been getting great reviews from our friends! The inside has a long bar area, and some seating - but most of the seating is outside on picnic style tables with umbrellas.
You can see the menu in the bottom of the photo above.
Gluten Free at Baseline Tap House
Baseline Tap House has wine, and your typical bar cocktail menu. On draft they have two gluten free beer/cider offerings: Ace Hard Cider - Ace Space Bloody Orange Cider, as well as Stone Delicious IPA which the bartender (who was super knowledgeable about Gluten Intolerance and Celiac) said would be safe as well.
As far as the small plates go (you can see there are only 4 items on that menu) the California Cheese & Charcuterie Plate can be made Gluten Free, they have Gluten Free crostini to for that, and the Spiced Almonds are naturally Gluten Free.
We loved finding this hidden gem, and enjoyed our Cider! We can't wait to go back and try that cheese plate!

Skating on the Canal
About half of the 8 km. length of the canal skateway is open. As it worked out
I skated it three times yesterday. In the morning for fun, in the afternoon for world wide sketchcrawl 34 and then last night to accompany my son home from downtown. I must say by then my new skates were chaffing a bit.
I didn't have any companions for the sketchcrawl, except for the 4000 or so people out enjoying the ice. Its always a fun experience with all the colourfulclothing, variety of skates and complete range of ages. I did a sketch of Patterson Creek last summer and realized how unique it must seem in winter to my viewers from warmer countries. The little building has washrooms and a place to change into your skates. We just leave our shoes under the benches and I have never heard of anyone losing them. Access to the actual canal is under the little arched bridge where you have the choice to skate north all the way downtown, or south to Dow's Lake. There are several other change huts along the canal, but many people just use benches out on the open ice, or sit on the snow like the guy in the upper sketch.

I had a little "clean-up" surgery this morning; hopefully the surgeon got the last of the "dirty margins." (A few little cancer cells that eluded her during the first surgery.)
I was home by about noon, had a cup of coffee some soup, and my wingman is now shooing me up to have a nap before our cherubs our delivered home by our friend Carol.
More later .... should have results from this little job at the end of the week.
By the way, thanks to each of you for the emails, cards, phone calls, offers of help, (and the list goes on...). Also keep the good vibes (I feel all of them!) and prayers coming!
Much love,

Swedish Hasbeens! I have coveted these shoes since I saw a different style on a favorite blog, bunnyshop.org, last year. Unfortunately these are $243, and I have committed myself to putting my tax return towards my (maxed-out) credit card, so I probably won't be getting a pair this year either.
Miu Miu S/S '10, Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere.
Shabd S/S '10.
Sadly these looks are not courtesy of H&M or F21... Miu Miu, Phillip Lim, and Shabd... sigh, someday I will be such a famous fashion blogger designers will be sending me these things just for the shout out; til then... dare to dream?
Anway, this blog is all about fashion as inspiration, and I think all of these looks are beneficial in that regard; not as specific pieces we must have, but as greater wardrobe inspiration. These beautiful Spring colors are going to be everywhere, and these shapes and styles aren't exclusive to Miu Miu or Phillip Lim either. Luckily for those of us with slightly more meager budgets, more affordable lines look to the high fashion shows for inspiration, just as we do, and put out versions accessible to the rest of us (though believe me, I'm all about intellectual property/fashion as art, and would never ever ever buy an actual knock-off anything, totally against it).
Innnnn conclusion, I know I'll be watching for dresses in these shades of blush, and something the shape of the second amazing Shabd dress (check out the link above to see all of her hand-dyed pieces, they are so so so gorgeous). The Hasbeens are somewhat more affordable (well, a million times more affordable than the other looks), and they seem like the sort of shoe that will last forever, and never really go out of style.
Man, now who wants to go shopping?! Fo real.
xoxo mes poupées.

NATIVEAM 39: Long Live Our 4Bil. Year Old Mother: Black Feminist Praxis, Indigenous Resistance, Queer Possibility (AFRICAAM 39, CSRE 39, FEMGEN 39)
How can art facilitate a culture that values women, mothers, transfolks, caregivers, girls? How can black, indigenous, and people of color frameworks help us reckon with oppressive systems that threaten safety and survival for marginalized people and the lands that sustain us? How can these questions reveal the brilliant and inventive forms of survival that precede and transcend harmful systems toward a world of possibility? Each week, this course will call on artists, scholars, and organizers of color who clarify the urgency and interconnection of issues from patriarchal violence to environmental degradation; criminalization to legacies of settler colonialism. These same thinkers will also speak to the imaginative, everyday knowledge and creative healing practices that our forebears have used for millennia to give vision and rise to true transformation.

NATIVEAM 64Q: These languages were here first: A look at the indigenous languages of California (ANTHRO 64Q, LINGUIST 64Q)
Stanford was built on land originally inhabited by the Muwekma Ohlone tribe, and Native American students have always held an important place in the university community from the writer and journalist John Milton Oskison (Cherokee) who graduated in 1894 to current enrolments of over three hundred students who represent over fifty tribes. Two hundred years ago, the Muwekma language was one of a hundred languages that made California one of the most linguistically-diverse places on earth. Today, less than half of these languages survive but many California Indian communities are working hard to maintain and revitalize them. This is a familiar pattern globally: languages around the world are dying at such a rapid rate that the next century could see half of the world's 6800 languages and cultures become extinct unless action is taken now.

Focusing especially on California, this course seeks to find out how and why languages die; what is lost from a culture when that occurs; and how `sleeping¿ languages might be revitalized. We will take a field trip to a Native American community in northern California to witness first-hand how one community is bringing back its traditional language, songs, dances, and story-telling. We will learn from visiting indigenous leaders and linguistic experts who will share their life, language, and culture with the class. Through weekly readings and discussion, we will investigate how languages can be maintained and revitalized by methods of community- and identity-building, language documentation and description, the use of innovative technologies, writing dictionaries and grammars for different audiences, language planning, and data creation, annotation, preservation, and dissemination. Finally, the course will examine ethical modes of fieldwork within endangered-language communities.

NATIVEAM 115: Introduction to Native American History
This course incorporates a Native American perspective in the assigned readings and is an introduction to Native American History from contact with Europeans to the present. History, from a Western perspective, is secular and objectively evaluative whereas for most Indigenous peoples, history is a moral endeavor (Walker, Lakota Society 113). A focus in the course is the civil rights era in American history when Native American protest movements were active. Colonization and decolonization, as they historically occurred are an emphasis throughout the course using texts written from the perspective of the colonized at the end of the 20th century in addition to the main text. Students will be encouraged to critically explore issues of interest through two short papers and one longer paper that is summarized in a 15-20 minute presentation on a topic of interest relating to the course.

NATIVEAM 211: The California Missions: Art History and Reconciliation (ARTHIST 211, CSRE 111)
Sites of the spirit and devotion, sites of genocide, foreboding actors in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, the subject of fourth-grade school projects, the Spanish Missions of Alta California are complex sites of inquiry, their meanings and associations different for each visitor. This seminar examines the art and architecture of the California Missions built between 1769 and 1823. Constructed with local materials and decorated with reredos, paintings and sculptures from Mexico and Spain, the Missions are at once humble spaces and flagships of a belated global baroque. They were also the laboratories of indigenous artists and artisans. This course seeks to understand how Mission art was meant to function, how and why it was made, what its materials were, while asking what the larger role of art was in a global system of missions. Can the study of this art lead to the reconciliation of populations in North America and within the field of art history? The Missions require a specific reexamination of the relationship between European and colonial forms, not as objects of curiosity or diffusion but as viable and globally informed agents.

GaIn does a special event for Jo Kwon with surprise back hug.
On MBC We Got Married aired on 5th June, the Adam Couple Jo Kwon and GaIn were featured on their vacation to Hong Kong. In the last episode, Jo Kwon tried to get a back hug from GaIn but GaIn had rejected.
Back then GaIn said, "I will reject as I have an event prepared." But for the episode aired on 5th June, GaIn had given Jo Kwon a surprise back hug. Jo Kwon was seen flustered and his expressions showed that he didn't hate it at all.
Apart from that, GaIn also gave Jo Kwon a bouquet of chocolate flowers she made herself. GaIn also offered to get couple rings, but Jo Kwon had pretended that he did not hear it.
Jo Kwon then tried to show his appreciation and placed some chocolate on his lips, attempting to do their chocolate kiss from the previous time again. But attempt failed so Jo Kwon placed a peck on GaIn's cheek.

Skype Usage policy for Warwick Business School
This policy and the original policy draw heavily on the Skype Policies formulated by Loughborough University (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/computing/security/skype-policy.html ) and Durham University (http://www.dur.ac.uk/its/policy/documents/skype/ ) - this policy has been modified to reflect the subsequent update of those policies and our review of how Skype is used at WBS.
What is Skype?
Skype is a free telephony application that uses peer-to-peer (P2P) network protocols to allow users to make free internet-based phones calls to other Skype users. Skype is a specific exclusion from the WBS policy that prohibits all P2P software, see http://group.wbs.ac.uk/issu/policies/peertopeer .
How does it work?
Skype uses proprietary protocols that prevent a detailed understanding of how the software works. In general, however, calls made using the system are routed through other computers with Skype installed whenever this provides a clearer path than connecting directly from one client to the other.
Reasons for concern
If these intermediary computers are connected to a fast Internet feed, such as here at Warwick, there is a high risk that the computer will become a 'Supernode' that starts to route large amounts of Internet traffic (that is a lot of other people's conversations, not just your own). This could have service implications not only for the local computer but the wider Warwick network. Additionally, due to the closed nature of the Skype protocols, there are concerns as to the security and privacy implications of the use of Skype. These concerns have led a number of large American universities to prohibit the use of Skype ( see for example http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060924-7814.html ).
Our Internet provider (JANET) provides the following clarification of the use of Skype across their networks:
"Section 11 of the Policy prohibits 'provid[ing] access to JANET for third parties without the prior agreement of JANET (UK)', but permits a limited amount of such use provided this is regulated by the customer organisation. Uncontrolled use of Skype, and particularly its bandwidth-hungry super-node behaviour, is likely to breach one or both of these sections."
Restrictions on the use of Skype at WBS
While understanding the above, ISSU recognise the potential benefits of Skype and therefore allow Skype to be installed on machines connected to the network at WBS provided the following conditions are met/understood:
- Skype is only permitted where there is a clear academic or business purpose. Users are advised to refrain from installing Skype if they don't actually need to use the capabilities that it offers - you may find that Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, WBSlive, or the chat facility in my.wbs meets your instant messenging and collaboration needs.
- Skype should always be installed using WBS Applications (on Windows XP) or Run Advertised Programs (on Windows 7) - this is particularly important on Windows XP as the latest version at the time of writing (Skype 4.2) doesn't actually work when logged in to the network.
Skype must be set to not load automatically on start up. If Skype is installed via WBS Applications this will be set automatically and must not be changed. Otherwise you can disable automatic starting by unchecking the box labelled "Start Skype when computer starts" on the Skype login dialogue.
Skype is only running whilst the user is at the computer to receive or make calls.
Should a computer on which Skype is installed use an excessive amount of bandwidth the user must remove the software immediately at our request and if the user is not available we will disconnect the computer from the network.
Should the JANET Acceptable Use Policy (A.U.P.) or the University of Warwick IT Services usage policies subsequently change to explicitly prohibit Skype then the user must remove the software immediately at our request.
- Skype must not be installed on any machines in the PG IT Suite. You should contact ISSU if you wish to use Skype on a lectern / teaching computer.
- ISSU offer no support in the use of Skype unless otherwise arranged.
- ISSU, the university, and JANET, offer no guarantees on quality of service for Skype network traffic.
- By installing the software, users are agreeing to the terms of the End-User Licence Agreement (EULA) for Skype . In particular they are aware that Article 4.1 allows Skype to utilize the local computer's processor and bandwidth to facilitate communication between Skype users.
