The Highgrove Florilegium, one of the most expensive books of modern times, is on display at the Harlow Carr Royal Horticultural Society garden in Yorkshire until September 6.
The two-volume set was commissioned by the Prince of Wales to celebrate the achievements of his own organic garden, and took seven years to put together. It is the first royal florilegium and contains 124 original prints from botanical watercolour paintings by 72 leading artists from around the world.
RHS recently acquired one of the 175 copies produced by Addision Publications and which went on sale earlier this year, priced at £12,950 per set. Only 38 copies remain available. Copies are also on display at Kew Gardens and the Chicago Botanic Gardens in the US.
At the time of the book's release in May, Addison's Henrietta Pearson said: "In this throw-away, digital age, it is increasingly rare to find books which have been given such love and devotion from start to finish by traditional craftsmen. We are proud to be able to use the best of Britain's traditional book craftsmen to produce our publications at a time when the talk is more of e-books than embossing."
The Highgrove Florilegium revitalizes the art of botanical drawing and painting which became popular during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. But the craft is still very much alive. In London, the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society is holding a talk on November 1, discussing different approaches and styles and showing off a large selection of its botanical illustrations.
In the video below, the typographer who was responsible for the design of the Highgrove Florilegium, explains how the book was produced.

Last Friday I was invited as part of a group of food bloggers to visit the Iceland Kitchen at their head office near Chester. The purpose of the visit was to have a tour of their new test kitchens (over which I now have serious kitchen and photography studio envy!), to taste some of their Christmas treats (including a Christmas turkey cooked on a BBQ) and to bust some of the myths that exist about frozen food.
Heading in to the kitchen
It was a really informative (and tasty) day and there are so many things I could share with you about it, so I've narrowed them down to my top few…
Iceland take their recipe development and product testing very seriously
Our day started with a tour of the Iceland test kitchens. They have several kitchens in their new purpose-built building (which is only 8 weeks old) in which they develop new products and test the quality of existing ones. They employ 24 full time quality testers (across the Chester site and a number of main depots) whose job it is to randomly sample a selection of products to ensure that what is being sold in the stores matches the product as originally specified (i.e. nothing unexpected has happened in the manufacturing process). They also check the packaging to make certain that all of the product details and cooking instructions are correct as well as ensuring that each product has been stored correctly before arriving in store.
Head of Product Development, Neil Nugent showing off one of the smaller kitchens
Frozen food isn't cheaper because it's poor quality, it's cheaper because the process of getting it from where it starts into your home is more efficient
Throughout the afternoon we were shown some videos (which apparently will be shared with you all in the New Year) presenting the process of getting frozen v fresh food from where it starts its life into your homes.
One example we were given was for fish.
Two stores are selling the same fish – Iceland and Store X (any random store you wish to choose). Iceland freezes theirs, Store X sells it fresh.
Iceland buys the fish wherever it's caught, prepares it while it's still fresh and then freezes it. They then ship it over to the UK still frozen and distribute it to their stores to sell.
Store X buys the fish wherever it's caught, packs it in ice and then ships it across to the UK as quickly as they can to ensure it doesn't go off. When it reaches the UK, they then prepare it and send it out to their stores.
No one way is better that the other, you still get great fish, but the frozen way is more efficient because Iceland can wait to send the fish over in big shipments rather than having to transport the fresh fish as soon as they can to stop it going off. The same great quality fish but a cheaper process to get it to you.
I can definitely confirm that Iceland frozen fish is excellent quality (and this has been confirmed by independent testing too) as I eat it regularly and I've shared a couple of recipes in the past using their salmon. However, to really prove the point we were served it raw at the event both as a Poke and Sashimi and they tasted absolutely amazing (although a lot of credit for that should also go to the chefs that prepared it for us too!).
Not only is frozen just as good as fresh, but quite a bit of "fresh" food has been frozen before you buy it and you probably don't even realise
The process I described above works fine if the fish starts its life somewhere near the UK, but for something like red snapper it's not practical to ship it over fresh (it takes 45 days to get to the UK!). So all of the red snapper you find in the shops has been frozen, even the ones in the fresh counters (they just defrost it first). All that freezing and defrosting (and the reduced shelf life after defrosting) means it'll cost more even though it's exactly the same.
The same goes for prawns – apparently you can't buy a fresh prawn in the UK (unless you're picking live ones up from a dock somewhere), they're all frozen at some point. We tried some gorgeous hay-smoked Argentinian Red Prawns which will be on sale in store in the new year and they were absolutely amazing.
It's not just fish and seafood, apparently quite a lot of "fresh" ready-meals (or component parts of those meals) are frozen. Nothing wrong with them at all, they can taste delicious, it's just important to recognise that there's no need to favour fresh over frozen when what you're buying may not be as "fresh" as you first thought anyway.
Apparently if you take a quick peek at the small print on the back of packets you can start to spot little notices that the product (or bits of the product) have been previously frozen.
After our frozen food myth busting it was time to get festive with our Christmas turkey.
You should be brining your Christmas turkey…
… and if that seems like too much effort then buy an Iceland frozen one and they'll do all the work for you!
I don't know if it's just me paying more attention to these things, but brining Turkey seems to be a bit of a "thing" this Christmas. I've not really heard anyone talking about it before and then all of a sudden it's in the Good Food Magazine, then pretty much every food blogger I know is talking about it after learning it at the River Cottage, and now Iceland are in on the act too.
For anyone who's not in the know (like me until a few weeks ago), brining is where you soak the meat in a salt water solution before cooking it. Not only does it help to flavour the meat, but it also keeps the meat lovely and moist (and we all know that turkey can have a slight tendency to go a bit dry).
Head of Product Development, Neil Nugent showing us how their frozen turkeys are prepared.
Unlike most stores, Iceland's Christmas turkey (their British Whole Brined Turkey with Orange and Thyme Butter to be exact) is ready-brined, saving you a big job. It's much easier for Iceland to sell ready-brined turkeys as their turkeys are frozen. Brining a turkey reduces its shelf life and so it's much trickier/more expensive for stores selling fresh turkeys to ready-brine them for you.
Iceland's Head of Product Development, Neil Nugent, then went on to show us how their Christmas turkey is flavoured (there's something reassuring about actually seeing the process of preparing frozen food from fresh – I think there's a bit of me that assumes that it's full of artificial goodness knows what, but that's not what I saw going in at all, everything was fresh and looked delicious).
Now, while we're on the subject of turkeys…
Don't tie your turkey's legs together
Apparently it cooks more evenly if you don't. You want to to be able to go like this…
Then we were shown how to cook the Turkey, including not tieing the legs together so it can go like this…
Chef Neil Nugent @icelandfoods gets Christmas turkey going #poweroffrozen https://t.co/hS5VfgJCMA
— Sarah Trivuncic (@MaisonCupcake) November 18, 2016
Go on, tag me in your videos of you doing this on Christmas day 🙂
…and don't bother with the oven, head outside to BBQ your turkey instead
Have you ever noticed at Christmas that oven space is something of a premium, especially if you're cooking a massive turkey? Not only that but to ensure your turkey is lovely and moist you want to be cooking it at a lower temperature than your roasted vegetables and pigs in blankets.
The solution to this is to BBQ it. If you've got a BBQ with a lid then pop it in there instead (with a low heat to either side rather than directly underneath). You just need to pop out every now and again to give it a little baste and let out a little heat if the temperature is getting too high.
I'm still in two minds if I'm going for it or if I'm going to chicken (or should that be turkey) out and save oven space with a turkey crown instead – what do you think I should do?
If you fancy a change from turkey then we also tried a rack of lamb and lobster thermidore that were both simply delicious.
Iceland sell some yummy festive desserts
Not a lot more to say than that really. They've got a big range and we sampled a couple (which involved a lot of chocolate-iness) and they tasted gooooooood…
…and don't forget the mince pies (like I did!)
They're also incredibly proud of their mince pies which are Good Housekeeping recommended beating many "fancier" (and more expensive) brands to the title.
In a shocking oversight I accidentally missed out on the mince pies on the day (as I was too busy chatting and photographing 🙂 ), but I'm happy to say that I've now fixed that after picking up a box when I was getting some other bits and pieces in my local store and I can confirm that they are indeed very good.
Well that's all from my visit, I hope I've whet your appetite to try some frozen treats this Christmas and don't forget to look out for those incredible Argentinian Red Prawns in the New Year.
I'm sharing this with the following blog challenges… #CookBlogShare with Easy Peasy Foodie and #TheFoodCalendar for Christmas.

With only three days until we leave Australia to go to China we are all getting very excited. I'm mostly excited about the markets and the pearl tower. We're all going to have a great time.
Today we went to the Jing Yang temple, the Science and Technology market and the Planning Museum. The Jing Yang temple had a lot of people that were praying to the Buddha. The Science and Tech Market had a lot of cool stuff I bought yeezys. The planning museum had a lot of stuff. we bartered hard.

In today's increasingly health-concious world, it's easier than ever to eat a meat-free diet, with vegan restaurants in New York City popping up on every corner. Whether you're looking for fine dining establishments in the heart of Manhattan or the latest pop-up eatery in Brooklyn, the latest wave of creativity from plant-based chefs means that the big apple is your oyster - or should that be your seitan?
The vegan staple, falafel, is reimagined in the creative menu of Israel-born chef Einat Admony. This Waverly Place restaurant has been open since 2005, and has only gotten tastier over the years. As well as a classic recipe brought over from Tel Aviv, Admony experiments with Tunisian Spices and Kalamata Olive in a series of sandwiches, salads and mezze platters. The restaurant is also known for its fresh fruit smoothies, with everything from classic kale to daring date on offer.
The food here received an impressive 4.6 out of 5 rating from foodie bible Zagat, with the combination of comfort food and creativity proving popular among vegetarians and omnivores alike. In fact, these rich flavors might be just the thing to persuade your carnivorous friends that vegan eating is every bit as delicious.
by CHLOE
Making sure that those eating at vegan restaurants in New York don't have to miss out on the fast food staple of burgers and chips, Chloe Coscarelli and Samantha Wasser set up this much blogged-about restaurant. The menu will get tastebuds tingling even for non-vegans, meeting Milennial expectations with the likes of the Guac Burger, Kale Cookies and, of course, the new-classic Smashed Avocado on Toast. There's also a popular brunch menu, that combines time-honored favorites such as Mom's Cinnamon Roll with creative health foods such as Quinoa Hash Browns.
From the trendy décor to the fresh food that's designed to be as delectable on an Instagram feed as it is on a plate, by CHLOE seems to be ticking all the boxes for the new generation of foodies. In fact, the concept has proved so popular that there are now five locations in NYC alone, with another two set to open soon, as well as additional venues in Los Angeles and Boston.
Delice & Sarrasin
If you're looking for upsale vegan restaurants in New York, try out Delice & Sarrasin - a French restaurant situated in the West Village. The menu comprises a variety of authentic French dishes, but the real draw is the selection of crepes and galettes. VIsit for brunch and indulge in a St Raphael, comprising peppers, potatoes and a vegan chorizo alternative, and perhaps follow it up with a scrumptiously sweet La Nanane, made with roasted pear, melted dark chocolate and almonds.
For those with a sweet tooth, the desserts are also well worth sampling, with the likes of the Lavender Infused Rice Pudding keeping the menu ahead of the 2017 food trends. Wash it all down with a glass or two of one of their vegan wines and you have the perfect recipe for a meat-free dinner date.
Candle 79
Candle 79's older sister, the Health Candle café, came to life in 1984. By the time Candle 79 emerged in 2003, owners Bart and Joy already had a loyal following of vegans, vegetarians and health-food connoseiurs. Part organic café and part wine and sake bar, this big city eatery has become something of an institution among vegan restaurants in New York, and regularly attracts celebrity guests.
The food here is as focused on health as it is animal-friendly, with organic ingredients grown in season, without the use of pesticides and other common chemicals. Try the eco cocktails, made with the likes of wheatgrass, agave and fig, and make sure to check the daily special menu for a unique treat. There's also a gluten-free menu available, which makes it a great choice for groups with multiple dietary requirements.
Korean and vegan are two cuisines that you don't imagine coming hand in hand, but that's where Hangawi steps in. In fact, this restaurant trades in balancing opposing concepts, with the entire menu built around the principles of ''um and yang'' - the Korean equivalent of ''yin and yang''. Um foods are listed as green vegetables and fruits, while yang foods include root vegetables and potatoes.
With dark wood beams, traditional cushioned seating on the floor and folk music playing in the background, this venue aims to recreate the atmosphere of a Korean teahouse. Dishes such as Organic Avocado Bibimbap and a Tofu Clay Pot in Ginger Sauce are served alongside soju and nongju cocktails - and, of course, the classic sakes.
00 + Co
One of summer's trendiest foods over recent years, wood-fired pizza is one of those mouth-watering dishes that could almost make a vegan crave dairy - but fortunately, chef Matthew Kenney has come up with the solution. His plant-based pizzas are topped with vegan-friendly cashew ''mozzarella'' and sunflower ''parmesan''.
The pizza is undoubtedly the main event, but there are also a selection of small plates on offer as well as organic vegan wines and dairy-free ice cream. There are even a few daily specials and desserts such as vegan tiramisu to try out. 00 + Co's trendy décor befits its Upper East Side surroundings, and makes it a great place for groups to head for an after-work bite or a weekend catch-up.
Avant Garden
Anyone who loves either puns or vegan fine dining will be pleased with this place. Born as a passion project of Indian-Italian restauranteur Ravi DeRossi, Avant Garden is all about celebrating natural vegan foods instead of relying on meat alternatives. As well as a broader-than-usual selection of greens on toast, the menu comprises lentils, roasted roots and rich salads.
There are just 28 seats inside, creating a cosy atmosphere, and the decoration fits the mood with elegant white-washed walls and a rustic tree branch chandelier. It's the perfect place to enjoy a light meal with a glass of wine or fruit-flavoured water while you soak up the ambiance.
From pizzas and burgers to kale salads and roasted quinoa, the vegan restaurants in New York City have a meat-free meal to satiate any craving.

Planning a wedding is a big deal, as there are many pieces that must come together for it to all work smoothly on your wedding day. You may have a pretty hectic schedule and not be able to handle all the planning yourself. Hiring a professional wedding planner can take some of the stress out of planning a wedding. This article will provide some tips in planning for your wedding.
If you're wanting to have money for other things concerning your wedding, try keeping a tighter budget on the venue by picking a wedding date that's not necessarily in season. This would be anytime other that May through September. At this time, it will be more costly to book a venue for your wedding. If you must book then, try booking well ahead of time to get a great deal.
Keep in mind that for many, religion plays a significant role on both their wedding day and their actual marriage. Talk not only with the person you are planning to marry, but with their family as well to understand their religion.
You can save quite a bit of money by purchasing your wedding dress over the Internet, but make sure to factor in shipping and alteration time when planning when to order. I bought my gorgeous gown online for only $150, but it cost me another $200 to have it altered to fit me perfectly. Include this additional cost when you plan for your budget.
You can make great use of big box stores, like Costco, when planning your own food service for your wedding day. If you shop wholesale, you will be able to get lots of food at much better prices. See if your friends can chip in for food costs.
Try renting diamonds if you're on a tight budget with your wedding. At a mere fraction of the cost, you can add that perfect touch of glamour to your wardrobe for the big day.
It is a good idea to hear the speeches of those who will be speaking at your wedding so you know that their comments will be appropriate. There will be a lot of different generations at your wedding, and a joke that young people can relate to might not be good for elders to hear.
Incorporate small decorative items throughout all your decor. For example, use the same ribbon that is in your centerpiece on your bouquet. Your wedding day is special and important so you want to put in the effort for even the littlest details.
Transportation is a key element to consider when planning your wedding. You should have taxis and limos to take people home when it's over. This is also helpful for anyone who has had alcohol at the wedding.
Plan your transportation wisely. Try having taxis or limos ready for people that don't have rides back to the hotel after it ends. Also, this will get people who drank alcohol during your wedding home safe and sound.
Take your time when writing vows, and spend as much time as you need to write something meaningful. Your vows are a reflection of the strength of your commitment to your partner. Concentrate on the sacrifices you are happy to make for the sake of the marriage when writing your vows. Write your vows so that they express your love for your spouse and remind you of why you love them.
If you do not want a traditional wedding cake, consider individual-sized cakes. You may be able to find a bakery willing to provide freshly-baked cupcakes that are low-calorie and available in healthier options for family with special dietary needs such as gluten or sugar-free.
When you are planning your reception set the time for the afternoon hours. During the day most people drink less alcohol, which can greatly reduce your bar needs. Also, lunch receptions will typically be cheaper than dinner receptions and allow you to either increase the quality of food or allocate the rest of your food and alcohol budget to another need for the wedding.
Brides who have sensitive skin may want to plan a pre-wedding skincare regimen meant to impart a glow without causing undue irritation. Look for special treatments that can help to brighten and soothe your skin. Ingredients like oatmeal scrubs, sea salts and rose offers these properties.
One key consideration when setting up seating for your wedding meal is to avoid having an odd number of guests at any table. Grouping your tables according to age is one way to seat people with others that they will have things in common with.
Tall flower arrangements can be the perfect idea for round tables at the wedding reception so guests are able to see and speak to each other. A lot of the time flowers in the middle of the table are an annoyance. Plus, some guests may be allergic to flowers. Think about putting candles that aren't scented onto the table. This can create a romantic look.
If you find it in your budget, you can have your wedding booked on a cruise with your close friends and family. By doing this, you can be on your honeymoon as soon as the ceremony ends. Some cruise ships offer special wedding and honeymoon packages.
Check your wedding venue to emsure that there will be enough room for a dance floor. You want room for people to move freely as they dance. Move furniture if necessary to make room for exuberant dancing.
Silk flowers offer great alternative for many of the flowers that you would include in your wedding anyways. You can avoid the hassle of wilted flowers and even make your purchase in advance, making them one less item to worry about on your big day.
Brides who want a look of luxury can embellish their wedding bouquets with something that sparkles, like rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, or even a tiny bit of diamonds. You can use small pieces of costume jewelry, heat-fixed or adhesive crystals, or perhaps a treasured heirloom. Make sure it goes with your dress and accessories, and that the color, cut, and size of the stones compliment your ensemble.
For instance, you might want to use a menu of popular and modern fusion dishes. You can add little twists in different food items, from drinks to dessert options.
Avoid having guests wait while taking the photos. You should take wedding pictures beforehand. Even pictures with parents can be shot in advance, reducing the time that guests must wait for you to arrive at your reception.
Honor diversity in the relationship by incorporating traditions from both the bride's and the groom's family, including foods, rituals, and decor. This creates a memorable and intriguing contrast that is sure to satisfy family traditions on both the bride and groom's sides.
Send each guest an online itinerary, so that they know exactly when and where every important event will be. Let people know what events, like the rehearsal etc., that they need to show up for, so they end up in the right place at the right time.
Flowers that are in season where you live are unlikely to be available, or easy to find in wedding destination locations. Ask for help from professionals who live and work in the region to find out what they recommend for your big day.
You can have a special relative or friend become ordained online so that they can perform your wedding vows. Not only will this save you money by not needing to hire an officiant, it will add a nice personal touch to the ceremony. Be careful, though, and check with your local officials to ensure that it is legal in your area.
Wedding Planner
If you have children in the ceremony, dress them comfortably. By utilizing softer fabrics, the children in your ceremony will look great while feeling quite comfortable. The children's new shoes should be broken in and comfortable. This may seem like a small detail, but attention to this will let the children focus on their duties for the ceremony instead of being uncomfortable and paying more attention to their outfits.
Prior to meeting with a wedding planner, do your research. Consider creating a scrap book of appealing fabric swatches and images that represent the style of wedding that you desire. You can add photographs, magazine clippings or perhaps song lyrics in order to show your wedding planner your vision.
If you plan on making a wedding speech or giving a toast, you should practice beforehand. Don't wait until the last minute to write your speech, or forget about it once it's written. If you don't practice, you might ramble, make silly mistakes or completely forget what you wanted to say.
The first step to planning a successful wedding is to make a wish list. Rearrange your list in order of priority after making it. For example, if you care more about where you're having the wedding than who is attending it, put your desired venue ahead of your guest list. If you create a budget which lists the items in order of importance, you'll have a much easier time picking out what you can afford and what you're happy to live without.
Do not forget a registry for gifts or to set up online registries. It is always suggested to inform guests they are not required to gift you as this will make them feel more at ease about the amount they should give or spend. Make sure they have varied choices for gifts and varied prices. By selecting different priced items, people can find items they can comfortably afford to give.
Just like the beginning of this piece stated, planning a wedding requires a lot of things that need to work together. It can be easy to lose yourself in the details, so a wedding planner can help make your day go off easier. Hopefully, you can now begin to prepare and plan for the wedding of your dreams.
Make your flowers stand out by using centerpieces of varying heights. Try using vases that are tall for more compact heads with long stems. Then add in smaller flowers with shorter stems to fill in empty spaces and to fluff out the arrangement. You can make the shorter flowers a lighter color than the blooms on the taller flowers.

the review site with a difference since 1999

Artisan Home Entertainment presents
"I can assure you there's nothing wrong with me."
DVD ReviewI'm generally not a big fan of television mini-series, and tend to avoid them like the plague. My experience with these big television "events" has resulted in features that begin strong to hook the viewer and then peter out by the time the conclusion rolls around, with generally too much padding and not enough substance. Imagine my surprise on viewing the DVD release of the 1995 production of Gulliver's Travels, starring Ted Danson as the exasperated traveller, which is proof that the mini-series is still a viable vehicle for quality entertainment.
Based on the classic 1726 novel by Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels is grand fantasy with much more serious and dramatic undertones. Swift penned the original novel as a sharp-tongued political satire that poked fun at the ridiculousness of human behavior, and director Charles Sturridge (Fairy Tale: A True Story and Brideshead Revisited) has captured Swift's intent, and translated that to create a fantasy that tosses out some not so subtle barbs at man's frailties and problems.
Danson is Lemuel Gulliver, an 18th century physician who returns home after being lost at sea, and presumed dead, eight years earlier. His wife Mary (real-life, at the time, Mrs. Danson—Mary Steenburgen) has been struggling to raise their young son Thomas (Thomas Sturridge, son of director Charles) and has been fending off the advances of stuffy and close-minded Dr. Bates (James Fox). Gulliver returns home one night, wild-eyed and crazed, full of fantastic tales of where he has been for the past eight years. His adventures included encounters with a race of tiny people, of giants, a sorcerer and a floating island full of powerful thinkers, to name a few. He is immediately deemed insane, which is completely believable due to Gulliver's bizarre behavior and even more bizarre tales. This is the 18th century, after all, and free thinking and reason have not been fully developed. Dr. Bates views Gulliver as a threat to his successfully wooing Mary, so he seeks to lock up Gulliver in a mental hospital.
Director Sturridge has jazzed up Swift's novel in a way that works very well visually and really engages the viewer. As Gulliver is relaying his adventures to whomever is present, his current surroundings slowly give way to that of his narrative, and at times are quite surreal in their appearance. This technique, which is used throughout the film, is cleverly done and serves as an unusual transition device that prevents the 187 minute feature from becoming simply a series of narrated pieces.
Like all mini-series, this one is populated with an interesting cross-section of familiar actors and actresses. Danson plays Gulliver, with his long stringy hair and constantly furrowed brow, with a proper level of insanity and excitement that had me wondering more than a few times if this was the same guy who was the dull Sam Malone on Cheers. I liked Danson here, and his portrayal of Gulliver is a strong tie for the rest of the story to connect to. During his travels, he comes across notable cameos by Peter O'Toole, Ned Beatty, John Gielgud and Kristin Scott Thomas, among others, and these small performances are perfectly campy (O'Toole), creepy (Warwick Davis) or dark (Thomas), as needed. Fox is wonderful as the devious Dr. Bates, and he carries the villain role very well. Steenburgen's role is rather lifeless, though her performance isn't necessarily at fault.
Like all good fantasies, it's the special effects that can make or break it. Obviously not as landmark as some big-budget theatrical epics, the effects here are well done. Whether Gulliver is big or small, there are seldom any sequences that look poor or dated, and in fact some are rather impressive, such as Gulliver's tabletop fight against a trio of wasps.
My 10-year-old daughter Sam, who is a voracious reader, had never heard of, read, or seen any incarnation of Gulliver's Travels, and I insisted she take part in watching this disc with me. She was completely hooked from the beginning, and was beside herself when we had to split the viewing into two nights. I guess that's as good of an endorsement of this enjoyable tale as you're likely to get.
Rating for Style: A-
Rating for Substance: B+
Image Transfer
Image Transfer Review: The transfer here is presented in matted widescreen format, and as this was originally shot for television there doesn't appear to much in the way of any noticeable pan-and-scan. Colors look rich when needed, and appropriately drab when required to match the narrative. Black levels are solid, with proper shadow delineation that give this television feature the look of a theatrical release. The only detriment here is a substantial amount of grain that is evident during much of the film.
All in all, a decent transfer from Artisan.
Image Transfer Grade: B
Audio Transfer
Audio Transfer Review: A no-frills 2.0 surround mix presents a clean sound field, with dialogue clear and intelligible. Rear channel cues are minimal, but there is a fair amount of front channel directional imaging that gives the viewing experience some aural depth. The Trevor Jones score sounds terrific, however.

Extra Extras:
The 24-minute feature Ted's Excellent Adventure: The Making Of Gulliver's Travels is hosted by Ted Danson, and includes an array of behind-the-scenes footage, interviews some of the production principals, and detail on the creation of some of the film's special effects. The interviews are a little fluffy, but the background and effects info are nicely done. There is a good chunk of this piece devoted to the development of the wasp attack scene.
The Gulliver's Adventure game is a series of multiple-choice questions based not only on the story, but on some of the cast and crew. There isn't any real payoff to the game, but my daughter Sam breezed this segment fairly easily, except for some of cast info.
Production notes, as well as 18 chapter stops per Book round out the extras.
Extras Grade: B+
Final CommentsGulliver's Travels is big, broad fantasy that attacks man's foibles with great accuracy. Nicely done and completely entertaining.

It's time to start planning that special day! There is just so much to do! We know you have to organising the wedding party, finding the best shoes to go with the best dress, finding the flowers and the photographer to capture that special day. But with all weddings, we know that your guest list will be longer than you want it to be, or that your beautiful outdoor wedding will eventually have to go inside. We also know that the weather is not always accommodating. However, no matter the circumstances, the best solution is a stretch tent.
Your Special Day
We know that a wedding is probably the biggest compromise, because everyone wants to have a say, be it the menu, the music, the venue, the seating order, and no matter how hard you try, no wedding will ever be perfect, but that's what makes it such a special day to remember. There are things that you don't have to compromise on, thanks to stretch tents. If you want to have a beautiful garden event from start to finish, you can. If you want a romantic cover sitting, get a stretch tent. If you have a pool at your wedding venue, covering it with a stretch tent and adding beautiful candles and flowers, which would make for a great photos.
Using the Stretch Tent to Your Advantage
A stretch tent might not seem like your ideal wedding day accessory, but it can be. It allows you to add extra space if you need it, or it creates s space that might not have been there. The interior sections come with the option to add a floor and a dance floor. There is plenty of rentable furniture that will be able to shape your day the way that you want it. It can be completely up to you, and so magical that you will have a few things less to compromise with everyone else.
Making Your Day, Yours
Your day is about celebrating your love with your partner, and the union of your families. The choices to make it a beautiful day with a beautiful backdrop are not as limited as they used to be. A stretch tent is the updated version of a marquee, which has so much more to offer. Stretch Tents for Hire is here to cater to any of your event needs, including your wedding day. Visit the website to see the accessories that you can use to make your day even better.

Should I risk it all to get an A?
1 year ago
Imho no need to...better worry about other stuff
1 year ago
Honestly I think you're presuming too much by phrasing your question by "risk it all." You're not risking it all - you're simply weighting cost-benefits of devoting a few more hours of studying at the risk of ending up with a B. The way you phrase your question immediately places a bias on you to not take the exam. So reconsider. Then again, perhaps that is your subconcious stating you don't want to bother with it. Your call.
1 year ago
I see where you're coming from, Jason, and I probably should've specified further-- It would be a "risk", in the sense because there is the possibility that by taking the final and attempting to get an A, I could lower my grade to below a B+. Our mid-term final is essentially a mini-AP exam, last year's average was below 60% (there was a curve in place, but it lowered most students grades considerably from what I hear). For the record, I studied, checked my answers, and then decided not to take the test and be ok with a B+. No one else in the entire school attempted it.

Measles, 2015
Two measles cases were reported in 2015. Both were residents of Hennepin County. The first case, identified in late January, was a 20 year-old Asian, non-Hispanic male. The case was a University of Minnesota student who had recently returned from Indonesia. Though he had symptoms clinically compatible with measles, his illness was mild and he was not hospitalized. The case reported having 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine. Over 3,200 individuals were exposed to this case on campus, but no secondary cases were identified. Vaccinated individuals who develop measles disease typically have milder symptoms and are less contagious than those who are unvaccinated.
The second case was a 9 month-old Asian, non-Hispanic female too young to have been vaccinated. The child was febrile and developed a rash while on an international flight from India to the United States. The child was hospitalized and recovered without complications.
Both cases were confirmed by PCR at the PHL. The first case was genotype D9 and the second B3. The cases were considered international importations (exposed to measles outside of the United States) and were not epidemiologically linked to each other or to any other known case or outbreak.

Felipe here, artist by practice, dreamer by nature. Obsessed with smiles, group fitness classes, and Netflix Originals. Living life and trying to make the world a better place, one pitcha at a time.
Welcome to my view of the world – adventures, culture, family, love, and everything in between. I'm not your average photographer, but a visual storyteller with one goal in mind : to capture the heart and soul of the world around you and I. Because at the end of the day, no matter where you are, and no matter who's there with you, it's all about the memories.
I have been honing my craft in visual storytelling ever since I can remember. I picked up my first camera at the age of 12, barely speaking any English, and it became my way of communicating with the world — or at least telling it how much I admired it.
So here we are, 16 years later, and I couldn't be happier with what I've captured, and who I've become because of it all. I fall in love easily with people, places, and ideas. I dislike the word "hate" just because there's too much of it already going around. I'm shy, but I speak passionately about what's on my mind. I read for pleasure, I sweat for fun, and on my free time you'll find me on adventures with my partner and little tiny camera glued to my face.
This is me, today.
And I'm here because I believe in capturing you — the you you'll want to remember tomorrow and 30 years down the road. I want to capture the sensitive, stubborn, dedicated, driven, compassionate, creative, charismatic, athletic (and working on it), intuitive, open minded, optimistic, observant, intelligent, impatient, sarcastic, romantic and still-growing you : a beautiful work in progress.
So let's go for a walk together, come to one of my workout classes, or just plainly stalk me through social media. I promise the worst that can happen is me capturing an embarrassing photo to blackmail you with for the rest of our lives.
Let's make some memories together.
<3 Felipe
'Cause every time I think I've learned all that I need about the world, I'll learn a little more.
I grew up in Colombia (South America).
I backpacked through Europe for about 4 months when I was 18.
I teach group fitness classes around 4 times a week (talk about dying with this elevation).
I love gummy bears more than anything in this world (besides my family and bf).
I am terrified of heights, spiders, and big crowds.
I'm a full-time Art Director for a tour and travel marketing agency when I'm not taking photos.
Oh, and I happen to actually be lactose intolerant but refuse to give up on ice cream. Why, cruel world? WHYYYYY?

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) fall still not over
Cable at present provides a perfect demonstration of 'what goes down…can keep going down'. There seems little stopping GBP/USD's descent, particularly since the 'No Deal Brexit' background music remains in full flow.
Areas of possible support come in at $1.2773 and then $1.26, while even $1.32 looks like too distant a prospect at present. Any bounce that fails to move back above $1.3040 would constitute another selling opportunity, with a bullish view only forming if the price can close above the July highs around $1.32.
Overall, the bias in prices is: Downwards.
By the way, prices are vulnerable to a correction towards 1.32.
The projected upper bound is: 1.30.
The projected lower bound is: 1.26.
The projected closing price is: 1.28.
A black body occurred (because prices closed lower than they opened).
During the past 10 bars, there have been 1 white candles and 9 black candles for a net of 8 black candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 20 white candles and 30 black candles for a net of 10 black candles.
An inverted hammer occurred. If this occurs during a downtrend (which appears to be the case with FOREX GBP=) it implies a reversal. Look for a confirmation of the reversal on the bar.
A long upper shadow occurred. This is typically a bearish signal (particularly when it occurs near a high price level, at resistance level, or when the security is overbought).
A shooting star occurred (a shooting star has a small real body near the bottom of the candle and a long upper shadow). During an uptrend the long upper shadow indicates that the bears are gaining control and a top may occur.
A spinning top occurred (a spinning top is a candle with a small real body). Spinning tops identify a session in which there is little price action (as defined by the difference between the open and the close). During a rally or near new highs, a spinning top can be a sign that prices are losing momentum and the bulls may be in trouble.
Three black candles occurred in the last three days. Although these candles were not big enough to create three black crows, the steady downward pattern is bearish.
Momentum Indicators
Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.
Stochastic Oscillator
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 4.7075. This is an oversold reading. However, a signal is not generated until the Oscillator crosses above 20 The last signal was a buy 15 period(s) ago.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 26.39. This is where it usually bottoms. The RSI usually forms tops and bottoms before the underlying security. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a buy 30 period(s) ago.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is -137.This is an oversold reading. However, a signal isn't generated until the indicator crosses above -100. The last signal was a buy 14 period(s) ago.
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a sell 5 period(s) ago.
Rex Takasugi – TD Profile
FOREX GBP= closed down -0.000 at 1.282. Volume was 93% below average (consolidating) and Bollinger Bands were 5% wider than normal.
Open High Low Close Volume___
1.282 1.283 1.282 1.282 10,834
Technical Outlook
Short Term: Oversold
Intermediate Term: Bearish
Long Term: Bearish
Moving Averages: 10-period 50-period 200-period
Close: 1.30 1.32 1.36
Volatility: 6 8 9
Volume: 143,610 166,427 155,966
Short-term traders should pay closer attention to buy/sell arrows while intermediate/long-term traders should place greater emphasis on the Bullish or Bearish trend reflected in the lower ribbon.
FOREX GBP= is currently 5.6% below its 200-period moving average and is in an downward trend. Volatility is relatively normal as compared to the average volatility over the last 10 periods. Our volume indicators reflect volume flowing into and out of GBP= at a relatively equal pace (neutral). Our trend forecasting oscillators are currently bearish on GBP= and have had this outlook for the last 17 periods. Our momentum oscillator is currently indicating that GBP= is currently in an oversold condition.

Hero Danny Redmond wants Hamilton boo boys to lay off gaffer Martin Canning
The Accies star has called for unity as the Premiership side try to ensure their place in the last eight in replay
DANNY REDMOND has called on the Accies boo boys to lay off gaffer Martin Canning after keeping Hamilton in the Cup.
Some of the travelling fans fired abuse at Canning early in the second half when the Pars had three glorious chances to knock Hamilton out.
But Redmond reckons it's out of order and has called for unity as the Premiership side try to ensure their place in the quarter-finals in Tuesday night's replay.
The midfield star said: "It spurs us on to do well for the boss when you hear some of the abuse from the stands.
"We have got to stick by him and the fans must too.
"You've got to believe in him — and we do — so hopefully if we perform on the pitch we'll get the fans back on side."
Accies — second bottom of the Premiership — went behind in 30 minutes when Paul McMullan scored in his third successive tie, tucking a right-foot shot past Remi Matthews.
However, Redmond rescued the visitors 15 minutes from time when he cut in from the left and hit a sweet left-foot shot into the left corner.
He said: "I was delighted with the goal. It was my first of the season so I would have taken a tap-in, to be honest, but it was nice that I took a man on and stuck the ball in the corner.
"But more importantly I'm delighted we're still in the Cup. Hopefully we can make sure we progress in Tuesday's replay and carry on from there.
"We made a strong finish to the game and that's down to the good set of lads we have at the club.
"It was the sort of game we expected. We knew it was going to be a battle and the weather didn't help.
"Hopefully back on our surface on Tuesday it will be to our advantage."
The Fifers know it was a missed opportunity to claim a top-flight scalp as McMullan, Michael Moffat and Kallum Higginbotham all missed big chances in the early part of the second half.
However, on-loan Celtic winger McMullan, who shot wide when one-on-one with Matthews, insists they can go to Hamilton and complete the job.
The 20-year-old said: "The boys have been giving me a bit of stick because I haven't scored in the league but every time a cup tie comes around I manage to find the net.
"It's something I hope to keep up on Tuesday night and hopefully we can get through to the next round.
"I'm really annoyed with myself that I didn't finish the second chance.
"It would probably have finished the tie because it would have put us 2-0 up. I just got caught in two minds and I made a mess of it, to be honest.

Your sign is the only double sign in the zodiac and because of that, it is fascinating.
This double aspect is both a source of benefit and of conflict.
Gemini & ARIES: This is
one of your best matches. You both have a high energy, a thirst
for adventure and spontaneity. Passionate, sudden and compelling
this union can last.
Gemini & TAURUS: This is
not a good connection for the Bull. Your lack of routine upsets
this steady sign. You find Taureans far too dull for your liking
and will tend to wander early into the relationship.
Gemini & GEMINI: You can
have some real good times but you seldom stay together unless you
meet in later years. There is a lack of direction that usually
prevails, however you can have some wonderful times together.
Gemini & CANCER: The Moon
child is far too moody and sensitive for your fickle ways. You are
not a homebody like the Crab. You have totally different interests
then a Cancer.
Gemini & LEO: This is not
a bad connection. You both complement one another. The generous
Lion will bend to whatever you want as long as you let your
flattering silver-tongue lead the way.
Gemini & VIRGO: This is
not the best union, the practical Virgo views you as being
disorganized and frivolous. You on the other hand don't think that
the Virgoan knows how to have a good time.
Gemini & LIBRA: Magnetic
union, however not long lasting. The Scales find it difficult to
live in the turmoil and melodrama that you thrive on. This
relationship is usually short, hot and sweet.
Gemini & SCORPIO:
Scorpio's jealous tendencies are impossible for you to handle. You
flirtatious ways and little white lies will drive the Scorpion as
far away as possible.
Gemini & SAGITTARIUS:
This union can work, however you both love to travel therefore you
may not spend much time together. You both tend to leave your fate
to luck which can make this a risky relationship.
Gemini & CAPRICORN: Not
great. The goat is too ambitious and organized for you. You have
totally different priorities in love and in life.
Gemini & AQUARIUS: Super
alliance, you are both original and like variety. This makes for a
fun loving couple. This is not always a lasting union but it is
certainly worth pursuing.
Gemini & PISCES:
Insecurity usually ruins this relationship. This can be an
extremely emotional union. Unique, destructive, yet passionate and
lustful resulting in hurt and anxiety.

As my partner will tell you, I'm a regular viewer of the cable listing menu provided by my crappy cable service. You never know when something interesting is going to turn up on an obscure channel. OK, I admit. It's rare for something interesting to turn up on any channel. Nonetheless, being the eternal optimist that I am, hope springs eternal and I continue searching.
Have you ever noticed that the only time Public Television has something worth watching is when they're trying to raise money? I long ago gave up trying to watch any of these shows. At least with commercial television, the commercials are rarely longer than 60 seconds. The begging on Public Television drones on for 15 an 20 minutes at a time. No thanks.
I made the mistake a while back of donating to a charity for a cause I was happy to support. And so it began. Because of that one little donation I received countless telephone calls and mailings asking for more. I have also made the mistake of contributing to universities on behalf of former professors and colleagues that set up scholarship funds when they retire. I'm happy to support the wishes of these folks, but end up being sorry I did because of all the calls I receive year after year asking for still more.
I now have calls from unknown numbers blocked, and routinely screen my calls to avoid calls from telemarketers. My number is on the National Do Not Call registry, but charities, politicians and pollsters are exempt. That's just another reason you can call me...

Ratings for Dr. Patrick W. Domkowski
I am blessed to have Dr D do my surgery... It was a tough decision but he assured me that I would be in good hands and he made me feel comfortable from the first visit until my actual surgery day!!! Thx Dr D.. Nina B. and family!
Dr. Domkowski and his staff are very helpful people. He knows what he is talking about and is all around a nice, caring, and great doctor. I was having problems with my insurance in getting the Gastric sleeve procedure approved and when Blue Cross denied me and the first appeal I was about to give up. Dr. Domkowski called me and motivated me to fight to get it approved and gave me some advice. By the second appeal I was approved. Now I have my surgery on May 17th. Dr Domkowski, Marisel and the rest of the staff are great!!!
Dr. Domkowski was my Lap Band surgeon and is a highly qualified, compassionate, intelligent surgeon. I've been very happy with both his office staff and he is such a welcoming, encouraging doctor that I am thrilled I chose him to do my surgery 2 years ago. Over 100 lbs lost, I have my life back, thanks in part to Dr. D!
A beautiful person and an excellent surgeon. Marcus Welby is back!
Dr. Domkowski did my Vertical-Sleeve Gasrectomy. He is a wonderful caring compassionate doctor. I've heard nothing but great reviews about his qualifications and it was easy choosing him for a Bariatric Surgeon.
He is a wonderful physician,I respect him for his very compassionate attitude and professionalism towards his patients. He answers all questions in an accurate and timely manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone. His staff are also great and offer fantastic quality of service. He is beyond a doubt, one of the best!
He is an awsomw doctor. He is patient and respectful of you and your needs, and his office staff is just great. I would recomend him to anyone

What on earth is Link Bait? Well, according to Wikipedia, Link bait is any content or feature, within a website, designed specifically to gain attention or encourage others to link to the website. Matt Cutts defines link bait as anything "interesting enough to catch people's attention."
Some of these link bait pieces started as TV marketing campaigns and then grew into effective link bait, which is not really important. What they all have in common is a fresh, original, outstanding idea ingrained into each of these pieces that we would like to share with you. May they be your inspiration and help you create something stunning on your website as well!
Here's the best top 10 lists of Out-the-box Reasons Why These Link Bait Ideas.
1 – Compare the Meerkat (comparethemarket.com), Humor
Why it worked: The association between "market" and "meerkat" is so obvious, that you can't but remember the site's name automatically. Plus, the idea itself is fresh and unusual – by the time you figure out what this meerkat is talking about, you are hooked. Oh, BTW, did I tell you he speaks with a foreign accent?
2 – Zombie Harmony (mingle2.com), Humor
3 – ElfYourself (OfficeMax), Humor
Why it worked: First of all, the whole thing is extremely hilarious. Second of all, it's not just SOME funny little elves dancing to Christmas music – it's you and your best friends in elf costumes doing the moves you never knew you were capable of!
4 – Old Spice Man (Old Spice), Humor and Sex Appeal
Why it worked: The commercial is basically shot in one uninterrupted take, including some special effects. Plus, the idea of a commercial replying to your post or twit is just so wild – no wonder the Internet community jumped at it.
5 – One Red Paperclip (Kyle MacDonald), Free stuff and a know-how
6 – Will it Blend? (Blendtec), discovery/experiments
7 – How sexy is your town? (LoveHoney), top-things list and curious facts
Why it worked: The UK Sex Map is a good opportunity to get some unique statistics. Just think about it, what other ways are there to find out how many people buy sex toys in your town?
8 – My Starbucks Idea (Starbucks Cafe), education/ego play
Why it worked: "My Starbucks Idea" creates a perfect opportunity for people to express themselves. Each idea is given a status, like "launched" or "under review", which shows that it's not merely sitting on the site.
9 – Entrepreneurs Can Change the World (Grasshopper), inspirational
Why it worked: People share inspirational videos a lot. Besides, even though the video is supposedly on entrepreneurs, it's pretty much of a universal nature.
10 – Man in Jeggings (Asylum.com), humor and experiment
Now, folks, I'm sure you've come across even more jaw-dropping, astounding links bait pieces online and must be wondering why they're not our list. If that's the case, hit me with rotten tomatoes, if you wish, but then take a minute to post a link to your favorite one on this blog. It well deserves a link, I think, – it's link bait after all!

Rethinking How We Use Technology
By Michael J. Miller
Editor-in-Chief, 19912005
Certain things are constants in the tech world. Every year, hardware gets better, thanks to improvements in semiconductors driven by Moore's Law and the -efforts of brilliant engineers. Software plays catch-up, as developers balance the need to run on the most popular systems with a desire to exploit the latest hardware.
The big questions, though, are not about how technology will advance, but how we will use it. Ideally, our new world of communications will drive rapid improvements in global standards of living, health care, the environment, and education. Computers may merge with biomedical devices to the point where technology is embedded in our bodies, helping us to live healthier, more productive lives. And if we're smart, we won't wait 25 years to develop technology to help us solve the world's energy and environmental problems.
In the nearer termfive years from nowpersonal computers will be multicore, some of which will be optimized for particular tasks. Servers, including home servers, and some desktops will have massive hard drives, with 2 terabytes becoming commonplace. Laptops will have solid-state drives, and they'll connect wirelessly to the Internet at high speeds wherever they happen to be, through WiMAX and LTE (Long Term Evolution).
By then, most of us will be running 64-bit operating systems, though I won't be surprised to see businesses make that move slowly. Increasingly, software will take advantage of multiple cores in ways that go far beyond what we see today. Nearly every application will have an online complementor competitor. Online data storage and applications will be widespread, though many large organizations will prefer to keep their data in-house for security and compliance reasons. We'll be able to get whatever information we want from location-aware, high-speed smartphones, but with much-improved connectivity, applications, and voice control.
We'll still have multiple deviceslaptops, smartphones, servers, flat-screen televisions, digital camerasbut the devices will connect using faster wireless USB and Wi-Fi. Ten years from now, our gadgets will be even smarter, any number of them interacting automatically without our involvement. Voice recognition will be mainstream, and many of us will be in constant communication with the Internet data we most care about.
Moore's Law will eventually run out of steam as chipmakers moving to ever-smaller geometries encounter physical limitations. But fundamental improvements in computer hardware and software should continue indefinitely, thanks to human ingenuity. When today's shrinking geometries reach their limits10 to 25 years from nowchipmakers will transition to other techniques, such as 3D chips.
Many of our current technology concerns will still exist, from privacy and security to management and the need for frequent software updates. Databases will track our every online move. Location-aware mobile devices will know exactly where we are. Cameras will record all our public movements. How this data is collected, used, and shared is a political and societal issue, not a technological one. And we're likely to still complain about how long it takes to do things. In the tech world, certain things are constants.
