Bar Indigo, 15 Cross Street, Double Bay - Map
Saturday 30 April 2011
2.8 'Wow. A knife! Beginners luck, perhaps?'
Hello Indigo, my lovely local breakfast provider. I like you most when I get a seat outside, on the median strip, beneath the trees and umbrellas. It's very nice there, although it is a mystery that your hunky waiters have survived so long without being hit by a porche. Today I had your corn fritters with bacon, avocado, tomato relish and baby spinach. I've had this before, it's very good (and huge), but not quite as good as Clodeli's. You did however give me a stainless steel steak knife - impressive! This cutlery item is probably your best asset, followed by the median strip. My friend Scotty was not so impressed with you. He wanted to use your porcelain facilities and was very disappointed to find he a) needed to request a key to access your b) somewhat dismal looking out-back toilet. I believe a restaurant's toilet amenities are an indicator of their kitchen amenities and should always be assessed for cleanliness. I hope your kitchen is cleaner than your porcelains Indigo. I will have to come back for a closer inspection, and to put your sturdy looking knife to the sourdough test.
Coffee: 2
Eggs: No eggs today
Toast: No toast today
Knife: 5 Your stainless steel steak knife made me very happy! Thank you.
Porcelain: 2 Scotty did not like your toilet facilities or their lack of accessibility.
Ambience: 3
Price: 2 It is Double Bay after all.

Fault Detection Using the Clustering-kNN Rule for Gas Sensor Arrays

(This article belongs to the Section Physical Sensors)
AbstractThe k-nearest neighbour (kNN) rule, which naturally handles the possible non-linearity of data, is introduced to solve the fault detection problem of gas sensor arrays. In traditional fault detection methods based on the kNN rule, the detection process of each new test sample involves all samples in the entire training sample set. Therefore, these methods can be computation intensive in monitoring processes with a large volume of variables and training samples and may be impossible for real-time monitoring. To address this problem, a novel clustering-kNN rule is presented. The landmark-based spectral clustering (LSC) algorithm, which has low computational complexity, is employed to divide the entire training sample set into several clusters. Further, the kNN rule is only conducted in the cluster that is nearest to the test sample; thus, the efficiency of the fault detection methods can be enhanced by reducing the number of training samples involved in the detection process of each test sample. The performance of the proposed clustering-kNN rule is fully verified in numerical simulations with both linear and non-linear models and a real gas sensor array experimental system with different kinds of faults. The results of simulations and experiments demonstrate that the clustering-kNN rule can greatly enhance both the accuracy and efficiency of fault detection methods and provide an excellent solution to reliable and real-time monitoring of gas sensor arrays.

Tylenol moment for Aircraft Company.
Two Boeing 737 max 8 airplanes crashed spreed fear among travelers. Like what happened to Tylenol.
Years ago something terrible happened to the headache drug Tylenol After that, the company had to struggle to regain its reputation. Now the Boeing Aircraft company has a problem like that. But bigger.
Here is a recent quotation:
Reports of a phone call between Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenberg and US President Donald Trump reportedly imploring the latter not to allow the FAA to ground the MAX provides additional reason for doubt. To wit, why lobby the White House to override the FAA if the technical evidence is clearly on Boeing's side? This flies in the face of any Boeing public statements about putting safety first.
The source of this is from :
Commentary: Boeing's Tylenol moment and the need for radical transparency
Click on the above for the full story. What is so bad about this is the apparent effort by Boeing to reduce or alive the fear of travelers who were about to goon a trip on a Boeing aircraft. This gives everyone the felling that the company is putting profit ahead of Hunan like.
For even more information, yu can search for information about the two sudden crashes of the 737 max airplane. Much of the news reports are critical of the Boeing company. Even the mild reports make the giant company look bad.
Yes, I know. Flying is still the safe way to go long distance.

First reported by Jay Floyd of PhoulBallz.com on Twitter last night (@PhoulBallz), Steve Susdorf considers himself retired.
We said good-bye to Steve and his wife Kelsey rather suddenly last season when he was released by the Phillies in July. Our farewell post is here.
As Steve moves on with his life's work, we of course wish him well. He's probably got more important things to do, but if he were interested, I feel like the "professional hitter" would make a good coach. Maybe it wouldn't be in the spotlight or at any level of professional baseball, but maybe it would be for kids somewhere, who need guidance, support, and instruction. I have no information; that's just my own impression.
If you're out there somewhere, Steve, take good care, and you'll always have some friends here in Eastern Pennsylvania if you ever want to stop by.

Christine Governale Turns Down the Lie Detector
Gary told Howard that Sal's wife, Christine, turned down the show's request to take part in a new lie detector bit...even for $5,000. Sal came in to say Christine flat-out refused: "She won't do it." Howard explained that Christine would be tested off the air in a controlled setting and only the results would be read on-air, so Sal pleaded for more incentive: "She humiliates me...gets the check and goes to the mall. What's in it for me?" Howard told Sal that he'd get to finally know for sure if she'd cheated, but Sal said it wouldn't make a difference. Sal said he was committed to making their marriage work.

Louis van Gaal's time at Manchester United could come full circle. His reign began with a 1-2 loss to Swansea. Should there be the same scoreline today, it may end the same way. He has demonstrated an ability to lose 1-2 to Swansea in good times and bad alike, but they have rarely been this grim.
After eight games without a win and four defeats in five, the Dutchman requires the validation that victory would offer.
After just 10 goals in 14 games, he would benefit from it being emphatic. He bought himself a stay of execution in Monday's stalemate with Chelsea, partly because United were unusually adventurous, but the banners at Old Trafford then should serve as a warning that the atmosphere could turn toxic.
So United must deploy the same attacking approach that brought comparisons with their free-scoring predecessors, but ensure there is a different outcome.
The Red Devils have drawn 0-0 six times at Old Trafford already this season and two of Swansea's last three games have finished goalless - the outcome could be predictable.
It is also extraordinary that van Gaal's team have not scored a first-half goal at home since September. Their relegation-threatened visitors, on the other hand, have concentrated on solidity under caretaker boss Alan Curtis. If United return to their policy of passing sideways and another slow start, it will play into Swansea's hands.
Make a breakthrough and, for once, this might not be a fraught afternoon. Much rests on how quickly, and how often, United can get the ball to Anthony Martial, who showcased speed and skill as a raiding left winger against Chelsea.
Dropped at Stoke last week, Wayne Rooney was brighter on his recall but a return of two league goals this season is dismal. Captain, like manager, has to prove to a growing band of doubters that he deserves a long-term future at Old Trafford.
Van Gaal ought to bring back Michael Carrick for Bastian Schweinsteiger, who struggled against Chelsea. His vice-captain is capable of the sort of penetrative forward passing that United need.
The manager's concern, after a previous frugal defence sieved nine goals in five games, is that if United are too open, they could be caught on the counter-attack. That, aided by the pace of Bafetimbi Gomis and Andre Ayew, was how Swansea beat them in Wales in August.
Curtis has been inventive in his attempts to revive Swansea, using a false nine and a diamond midfield at times.
Van Gaal has been too inflexible. Yet with the suspicion the crowd will call upon his side to attack, he does not just have to claim the three points that he rather optimistically believes are required to maintain their title hopes.
He has to abandon his philosophy that has put his job in danger.

Water zoning simply means planting plants with similar watering needs next to one another in groups.
This is where mass planting comes in and can make the task much easier. By planting a group of exactly the same plant you can make a bold impact with your design because you have one colour, shape and texture. A carpet of one type of ground cover can be stunning.
In many plant families there are plants with exactly the same growing characteristics but just variations in the foliage or flower colour. The herb marjoram is an example, where green, gold or varied forms are available.
The deciduous hibiscus is an example of a group of plants where the habit and leaves are the same but the flowers can vary from white to mauve, pink and crimson.
In a small cottage garden or a garden made up of a collection of pot plants, collect plants that have similar needs for water in the one position.
It is easiest to group the plants into three main categories:

How do others garden together? What collective ideas for green production can be found? This community garden advocate is still travelling far and wide to find out.
Sunday, August 15, 2010
Work, work, work
I suppose you could say we had a quiet working bee. No raucous barbeque, no profanities during the high installation of the remaining roofing for water collection. Frog spawn was placed carefully in the bathtub. In fact, everyone planted, dug, swept, pruned and hauled mulch with great restraint. Well nearly everyone, two young interlopers thought the garden might be a good locale to sip on cider and watch the others working. You just can't get good help these days!
Curious and willing children pounded oyster shells into grit for the chickens. A lean-to was made to shelter chicken food. Ms Sweeper had the garden looking smart and tidy until a little fixer tried out the hole digger, its inaugural outing, just to see how far he could dig and dropped the soil out onto the pristine concrete! What's a garden without a little soil? Paint Pot Pat brought some wonderfully painted boards as plant markers. Pick these; seeds; seed plant do not pick and so on just to guide the multitudes visiting the garden.
So the first workshop was held. The guest speaker arrived. The chicken leaflets, printed surreptiously at work, were ready to be distributed. The sun was shining. But where were the attendants? It was a pity that our wonderful people on the chicken roster were not able to attend and ensure they are caring properly for our ladies.
So are we imposing our ideas on the gardeners? Are they telling us they don't want any workshops? Ms Mova and Ms Tagalong will have to reconsider their ideas. We will perhaps try one more with the next working bee and request RSVPs beforehand. That said, it was a beautiful weekend weatherwise and people may have had lots of other things to do.
Isn't nature wonderful? Primary schoolchildren at the Botanical Gardens in Sydney were chasing around spying flora and fauna at the start of Science Week. A duck paddling in a pond was observed by one to be 'a dusty moron'! Mr Ideasman and I laughed out loud and I don't think I will ever look at a dusky moorhen the same and neither will her friends and family as the comment appeared on national TV!
So how are we doing in the community? A lovely story reached my ears this week. Two young primary girls came down to feed the chickens but became intrigued with the amount of produce they might be able to put on their own plates. Back home they went for a container and proudly collected, washed and ate a collection of lettuce leaves, sugar snap peas, radishes and tiny tomatoes. Roll on the appreciation for low food miles!

sweeet, can't believe i missed it >:lReplyDelete
Sorry for the lack of supporters and helpers. Would have been there if I could have! Remembering that life takes hold of us sometimes....will do my best to attend and be involved from here on.ReplyDelete
Suggestion: Would it not be better to hold the Working bees on a sunday, when most families will have minimal commitments?
Ok I've worked out how to follow now :)ReplyDelete
Good work - didn't now you blogged about this - I ran two community gardens in my previous role! It as ace - now I'm working with schools, let just call it 'interesting'
Great work, keep it up and if I can help 12,000 miles away then let me know
Would love to hear your comments and please ask questions...can't guarantee I can answer them but will try!

The former Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, said that he did not discuss U.S. sanctions with former White House National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, and that their conversations were about "very simple things."
"The communication was very regardful. There were no secrets, at least from our side," Kislyak told the Russian TV channel Rossiya 24, according to a translation by Russia's government-funded Sputnik News.
Kislyak said he had been instructed not to discuss the sanctions with anyone and followed those instructions to the letter. Instead, Kislyak said he and Flynn talked about U.S.-Russian cooperation on other issues, including counter-terrorism, Sputnik reported.
Kislyak's insistence that sanctions were not discussed is contradicted by reporting from American news outlets, first in The Washington Post in February, and subsequent statements from U.S. officials. The Post reported that Flynn and Kislyak discussed sanctions during the month before President Donald J. Trump took office. Flynn and the White House initially denied the report, but Flynn was fired days later for allegedly lying to Vice President Mike Pence about the content of the conversations.

Stephan G. Stephansson – Poet of the Rocky Mountains – was born in Iceland in 1853.
In 1889, he brought his family to Alberta near what is now the Markerville area. Within the view of the Rockies, he homesteaded with his family, farming by day and writing by night. Stephansson's prolific literary output has helped make him one of the greatest poets in the western world.

They discussed differences between programs in different parts of the country. Taylor, who was the offensive coordinator at the event, was shocked to hear the coaches talk about the number of assistants they had who also worked at the school. With as many as seven coaches in the building every day, the head coaches were able to delegate duties. "I was jealous of how many people they had in building, to be around the kids and to be able to just talk to kids on a daily basis," Taylor said. While Taylor isn't able to bring that many in-building assistants to Skyline, he was able to add one, hiring former Enumclaw coach Don Bartel as the Spartans' defensive coordinator. Bartel takes over for Steve Chmiel, who coached Skyline's defense for three seasons. "It wasn't an easy decision to begin with, because coach Chmiel had done a great job for us for three years," Taylor said. "The decision was not an Xs and Os problem or anything like that. The main thing was coaching in building. It's just nice to get people who can be in building with you." Bartel, who resigned in March, had a 16-22 record over four seasons at Enumclaw. Taylor had his four captains — Max Browne, Peyton Pelluer, Nic Sblendorio and Trevor Barney — conduct the interview with Bartel. Taylor observed, but didn't ask questions. "He's as fiery a coach as I've ever been around," Taylor said. "The energy that he'll bring, it's just awesome." In addition to helping out with some of the day-to-day coaching duties, Taylor said Bartel will, "bring an identity to Skyline as a defensive team, not just an offensive team." Comments

Our Latest News
'Tis the season for iced coffee, air conditioning, and hopefully sneaking off to the beach early on Friday afternoon. When the temperatures are rising outside, the last thing you want to do is preheat your oven or stand over a hot stovetop waiting for water to boil while your AC unit works overtime to combat the kitchen heat. Today we're giving you four quick and easy no-heat recipes for hot summer days.
Caprese Salad
This fresh, seasonal dish is a summer favorite for good reason. Tomatoes are in their prime and the timeless pairing of mozzarella, basil, and balsamic vinaigrette can't be beat. Simply alternate the tomato and mozzarella on your favorite serving platter, cut up some fresh basil to top, drizzle vinaigrette over your mixture, and serve. This is perfect as an appetizer, and while it's a simple dish to make, it always looks elegant when plated and is a great thing to bring to any summer gathering you may be attending.
Any time a recipe calls for sushi-grade fish and avocado, we're in. Ceviche can be made with salmon or tuna; both are delicious, refreshing, and will wow your friends and family. We love this salmon ceviche recipe, as it incorporates orange, lemon, and lime for a super summery taste. Feelin' tuna instead? Try this simple classic.
Overnight Oats
If oatmeal has been your go-to healthy, fiber-dense breakfast all year, it can be a bummer when the thermometer hits 80 degrees before your morning commute. But fear not, overnight oats will quickly become your new go-to and may even save you some time in the morning to hit snooze. All you need is half a cup of steel cut oats, half a cup of your preferred milk, and whatever add-ons you please. A cut up banana can help to sweeten your oats, but you can also add chia seeds, berries, protein or nut powders, coconut, or granola. Experiment to find your perfect combo, prep in a covered container, and stick in the fridge before you go to bed at night. You'll thank yourself in the morning!
Mediterranean Spread
A platter of fresh vegetables, flatbread, and dip is the perfect summer afternoon snack or appetizer that doesn't require any heat, or much time, for that matter, to prep. Simply cut up some fresh bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrot slices, grab some pita chips or bread, and prepare your very own hummus or tzatziki dip. Add some almonds, olives, and apricots to your platter to mix it up. Here's a great go-to hummus recipe—no heat required!
In need of a chef-inspired kitchen to prepare these yummy no-heat meals and more this summer? Contact an Olympus Property near you today!

During Thursday's Republican debate, Rand Paul left a strong impression as a leading conservative voice for criminal justice reform and racial equality.
Paul has engaged in bipartisan initiatives to address the war on drugs and the inner workings of criminal justice, and popular YouTube creator Mark Watson asked about what the United States could do to better protect communities and police officers.
Paul quickly brought up the difficulties faced by someone who lives in poverty but gets putative fines in places like Ferguson, Missouri, where much of the city budget was paid for with excessive fines on residents.
He then transitioned into a common theme of his, the racial divide among victims of the war on drugs.
"The war on drugs has disproportionately affected our African-American community. And what we need to do is make sure the war on drugs is equal protection under the law and that we don't unfairly incarcerate another young generation of African-American males," Paul said.
Those effects have long-term consequences and harm economic productivity and community development.
"Drug use is about equal between white and black. But our prisons – 3 out of 4 people in prison are black or brown. I think something has to change," Paul said.
The crowd applauded Paul's answer, and later in the debate, Ohio Governor John Kasich sounded sympathetic to Paul's concerns when he declared that drug addicts should not be treated as criminals, but as people in need of medical care.

Anne Knight (children's writer)
For this author's namesake, the social reformer, see Anne Knight.
Anne Knight (born Anne Waspe; 28 October 1792 in Woodbridge, Suffolk – 11 December 1860 in Woodbridge, Suffolk) was a Quaker children's writer and educationalist. Mornings in the Library (c. 1828) and Mary Gray. A tale for little girls (1831) include poems by her lodger and fellow Quaker Bernard Barton.
Anne was the eldest of the eight children of Jonathan Waspe (c. 1756 – 1818), a leather cutter, and his wife Phebe Gibbs (1761–1851). She married a cousin and fellow Quaker, James Knight (1794–1820) of Southwark, but returned to Woodbridge after his early death.
By 1826, Anne Knight was keeping a Woodbridge school. She was a friend of the poet Bernard Barton, who lodged with her and her sisters,[1] and she is therefore mentioned several times in letters to him from Charles Lamb: "Your book... we cannot thank you for more sincerely than for the introduction you favoured us with to Anne Knight."[2] "So A. K. keeps a school... she teaches nothing wrong, I'll answer for't."[3]
Anne Knight died at her Woodbridge home on 11 December 1860 and was interred in the Quaker burial ground there.[4]
Anne Knight was the author of several children's books, some of which have been erroneously attributed to her Quaker namesake and contemporary Anne Knight (1786–1862), a campaigner for women's rights.[5] They include School-Room Lyrics (1846), and probably Poetic Gleanings (1827), Mornings in the Library (London, c. 1828, with an introductory poem by Bernard Barton), Mary Gray. A tale for little girls (also including a Barton verse, London, 1831),[6] and Lyriques français: pour la jeunesse. Morceaux choisis par A. K. (3rd e., Norwich, 1869).[7]
Knight's verses are well crafted and her stories well told, but they exhibit a didacticism that does not suit modern tastes. To take an example: "'Though these animals [rabbits] are so small,' continued Mrs. Gray, 'they are found very serviceable to man. Their flesh is good to eat, and the soft grey fur, growing close to the skin, is made into hats, when mixed with the beautiful fine down of the beaver, a curious animal found in North America'" (Mary Gray, p. 11).

Be The Best Roomi and Deal With Those Who Aren't
Roommate horror stories are pretty popular topics of conversation at college. Everybody's got them. Follow a few simple guidelines to ensure you're not the awful roommate everyone's talking about—and learn to deal with your terrible roommate.
Respect Each Other
First and foremost, if you don't respect them first, they sure as hell won't respect you. Your parents have hopefully been teaching you what respecting others mean since you were about four. The same rules apply in college as they did in preschool.
Be Considerate – If your roommate is sleeping or attempting to sleep, keep the noise and light levels down. If in doubt, ask yourself if you would be annoyed if your roommate did whatever it is you would like to do to you. If the answer is no, take it elsewhere.
Keep Your Hands Off Their Stuff – Respecting your roommate means respecting their stuff. Just don't do it, especially with personal items like brushes and stuff like that. It's gross. If you really need to borrow something of theirs, always, always ask before you do. If they say no, don't get offended. Some people just don't like other people using their stuff. This goes especially for food. It's super annoying to open the fridge and see that your lunch that you planned to eat is now gone. If you eat your roommate's food, it is absolutely your responsibility to replace it.
Set Ground Rules
Now that we've reviewed what it means to respect each other, you and your roommate should also establish some ground rules. For instance, when people have phone conversations in the room while your roomi studying. Here is a list of things that you and your roommate should touch on as far as ground rules go:
Talking on the phone – inside the room, outside the room, on the balcony, in the closet, whatever. Make a compromise, but the tie should go to the person studying.
Smoking – This. Is. So. Important. If you have a balcony, establish if it's okay for the smoker to smoke on the balcony. Be careful if you agree to smoking on the balcony or you could end up with your roommate's chain smoking friends living out on your balcony. I don't think smoking is allowed in any dorm room, but make sure to set your expectations early.
Visitors of the intimate kind – This seriously could warrant its own post. If you have someone of special interest with you, you need to remember that the room belongs to two people. . Additionally, check with your roommate if they're comfortable with your lover spending the night if this proves to be the case. If they're not, respect their wishes.
Cleaning – Discuss duties for cleaning and whose job it is to do what. Dividing responsibilities of cleaning will make keeping your room cleaner and it will help ease roommate tensions if you both pitch in.
When All Else Fails…
Sometimes, no matter how much you do, your roommate will still drive you crazy. When respecting, cleaning, and ground rules don't get you where you want in your rooming situation, all is not lost, even if it seems like it. There's still a certain amount of damage control that you can do.
Deal with it – There are just some things that you are going to have to get used to when living with another person. Sometimes, you just need to suck it up and deal with it.
Talk to your roommate – Sit down and have a conversation with your roommate about the key things that really irritate you about the situation. Whatever it is, don't yell and don't accuse. Be calm and friendly and simply explain your situation. Focus on the big aspects.
Talk to your RA – Do not do this before you talk to your roommate. Going above your roommate's head is inconsiderate. You are big boys and girls now. You can work your problems out by yourselves.
Get out of your room – This is probably the simplest of all solutions. When your roommate is in your room and doing something irritating, just leave the room. Go to the library or a campus computer lab if you need to study.

I've done the 5/3 River Bank Run now for the last 3 years. My first year I did the 25k and last year I did the 5k, so I figured I might as well round out all the races and run the 10k this year! For some reason though, this race didn't really feel like a race. Maybe because I was just coming off running the Boston Marathon, or maybe because it was just a 10k and normally the only time I run a 10k is after swimming 1 and biking 25 miles!
Regardless, I still went into the race trying to run as fast as I could and set a PR (which shouldn't be hard since I don't know if I've ever raced a 10k on it's own!) I was hoping for at least a sub-33 minute (5:19/mile) race since my previous 10k PR was a 33:30 (5:24/mile) set at last year's USAT Age Group National Championship.
I wanted to start the race conservatively so that I didn't blow up later on. I have a tendency to go out too fast in shorter races and then have it bite me in the butt as I crawl across the finish line! So I tucked in behind a few other runners for the first 1/2 mile or so, but they started falling off the pace so I took the lead.
And by "took the lead" I mean that I took the lead of the 2nd pack. The lead pack went out REALLY fast and there was no way I was going to stay with them. I went through mile 1 in 5:16.8 which was right on pace. I was basically running by myself for the next few miles and just tried to keep the pace consistent. I ran 5:18, 5:16, 5:15, and 5:16 for miles 2-5. Throughout these miles though, I remember having the clarity of mind to think, "Okay don't push too hard. Stay in the rhythm. Keep your form." Normally, I would say this is a good thing. In hindsight, I may have gone out a little too conservatively, though. Mile 6 I clearly had a lot left because I was able to turn on the jets and run a 5:08.
I saw mom and dad with a little more than 1/4 mile to go and that gave me a nice boost, but with the 180 degree turn and another 200 yards until the finish, it was tough to get back up to full speed.
Dad told me to look at the clock, but I thought I was going to be fine because I made the turn with the clock reading just under 32 so I thought I would be fine. As I was getting closer to the finish, I realized that it was going to be a lot closer than I originally thought. I quickly made my way to the finish line and crossed in 5th place with a time of 32:51 (5:17.9/mile); just faster than my goal time of 33:00 so I was pleased with that.
It's weird though because my 10k after swimming and biking at USAT AGNC was 33:30. So I can only run 6 seconds/mile faster in an open 10k than I can in a tri? That's a little disappointing when looking at it from an open standpoint, but appointing (the opposite of disappoint must be appointing, right?? haha.) when looking at it from a tri standpoint.
My quad had been bothering me for a few days leading up to the race so that may have limited me a bit. It started to tighten up around the halfway point, but no excuses because the winner of the 10k won the 5k too and 3 of the 4 guys who beat me ran in the 5k! Nuts...
Immediately after the race, I jogged/power walked (my quad was really tightening up now!) to the start of the 25k because my friend and fellow MSU PhD student, Tayo, was running his first 25k (and his longest run ever!) I wanted to find him and wish him luck and somehow I found him amidst the throng of 4500+ runners! We had gotten a picture before my race, but I wanted to get one of us in our matching neon before his race too. We snapped our annual pic, I wished him luck, and he was off to the races (literally!)
After seeing Tayo off and meeting back up with mom and dad, I got to enjoy another scrumptious treat made by Nick at Rise Grand Rapids. These things were so good, I think only 1 made it back to East Lansing with me! You continue to outdo yourself Nick!
Next up is another straight up road race; no swimming or biking before the run! I will be back in Boston for a conference and will be shooting for another PR in their 5k "fun" run. I say fun in quotations because rarely do the other guys in the race make it so!
Thanks to the guys at MojoFIt for the sweet singlet. Of course, thanks to Nick for those cupcakes; seriously scrumptious. And thanks to my parents as always for coming to watch me run :)
I feel like I need a sign off phrase to end my posts with. You know, something to let you know it's over instead of just ending abruptly. Meb Keflezighi has "Run to Win", Ricky Bobby has "If you ain't first, you're last", even Porky Pig has "That's all folks!"
So if you have any ideas for a killer sign off phrase, I'd be happy to hear it! Until then...

Animal Communication & Healing Course
Animal Communication & Healing Course
Witnessing a Miracle.
My twelve year old pomeranium dog passed over by drowning last Monday and decided to come back to me. I have taught the animal course for over 7 years and for some reason did not run this course this year. This miracle has made me realise how important soul work is and how miracles are true.
Thank you Sousla for fighting to live. I want to share how to heal animals and allow more practitioners help people communicate and heal animals
I will let you know soon what happened to Soulsa soon. It's been a rather emotional week! Soulsa your alive
Animal Communication & Healing Course
I believe animals are here to teach us soul work. I believe animals are here to recognise our soul.I believe we can feel free and bring peace to the planet, humans and all species.
The unique difference with spending time training your own intuitive senses gives you the ability to hear the messages from the animals that are different for each individual. If you understand to let go and trust, then you will be gifted the ability to hear and heal animals.
To be shown the process of reincarnation is a gift. If you understand that humans and animals have free will, then you destiny is to protect, love and look after the animal soul.. Soul work is a gift. I honour you for choosing to learn how to heal yourself and animals. We will be shown gifts of with very ancient abilities of healings.
To clarify the difference between an animal and human using the Direction Technique is important. Animals do not speak the human language; therefore the messages the human receives can be interpreted, as the human wants to hear it. therefore it is important to affiliate and trust your own inner wisdom and messages from these animals. Each and every sign given to us is a gift and animals come to you in your life because both you and the animal have made that choice.
I have witnessed diseases in animals heal by using heat being transferred by hands. This relieves pain, calms nerves and settle the animal. There is a critical time to know when and how to take out the sickness of either the animal or human. Learning the ancient traditional ways of healing shows you how to shake off the diseases from your body.
Animals have an ancient language and to know how to communicate with these languages brings you great joy. The Direction Technique allows you to heal animals using ancient hands on heat healings and understand soul destiny.
This workshop will enhance your knowledge in:
Learn to communicate with dogs, cats, horses, birds, eagles, wolves
- Animal messenges
- Animals are part of human consciousness of love
- Animal shamanism
Learn how animals can take on the owners diseases to heal them
Direct hands on heat healing, Reikki, for a sick animal
Discern the difference between the animal healing you or you healing them
Be your own animal whisperer, communicate with an animal that has passed over
Find your own power animal
Use your eyes to heal an animal
Protect your soul through your eyes

Dedicated time will be allocated for a demonstration of an animal healing from Katrina Jean Taylor
Dedicated time will be allocated to dogs, cats, horses, eagles, birds and tigers to learn the foundations of the Direction Technique Animal communication & Healing. This unique knowledge can then be transferred to any animal
Once you are blessed with the wisdom of the instinct of knowing, then you will understand and honour reincarnation
There is hope with respect to planetary healing. Animals and humans already co-exist and people have a strong connection to certain creatures, sometimes referred to as their animal totems. I feel affiliated with the eagle, which with its extraordinary vision sees all. The eagle evolves with intuition to survive. One day an eagle took me to a place in Antarctica where many hundreds of whales had congregated. I heard a new sound, a mixture of tones, and was told, "We [the whales] must create a new tone with which to communicate, in order to survive destruction by humans." I was also told that they would "… separate immediately, as it is too dangerous for us all to be together in this place." Whales and dolphins communicate telepathically and through sound vibrations, which is one reason why disabled children benefit from being placed with dolphins as therapy.
We want to discover why you or the animal makes the choice to connect
Now explore the concept of reincarnation
How to use the Direction Technique™ to heal animals
To clarify the difference between an animal and human using the Direction technique™ is important. The animals do not speak the human language; therefore the messages the human receives can be interpreted, as the human wants to hear it. Therefore we need to be accountable when we communicate with the animals. Therefore we use the Direction Technique™ process with the owner of the animal: Note you are really healing the animal through the human. Learn to stop and when to take out the sickness of either the animal or human. You must learn how to shake off the diseases from your body. Then use hands on healing where you are guided to place them. Write no words. Once you are blessed with the wisdom of the instincts knowing, then you may understand the ancient language of the animals. By viewing this demonstration you will clarify if the animal needed healing or the human
I hope you have gained knowledge in understanding how to communicate with animals on many levels and different ways. Please honour your own wisdom in learning about the web of life.
I am honoured to learn how to teleport with respect, gratitude and use love at all times, when I do my soul work.
Being held by an animal or an animal chooses to heal you will help you feel deep love
We need to be accountable when we communicate with the animals and what we say to the human. Therefore we use the Direction technique™ process with the owner of the animal: Note you are really healing the animal through the human. Learn to stop and when to take out the sickness of either the animal or human. You must learn how to shake off the diseases from your body. Then use hands on healing where you are guided to place them. Write no words. Once you are blessed with the wisdom of the instinct of knowing, then you may understand the ancient language of the animals.
Extract from Focus For Direction- How to self heal and Find Your Own Answers

"Learning with Dolphins
Direction Technique Dolphin Energy Healing makes people happy and calms the nervous system, and is an effective way to let go of stress and learn.
The benefits of Dolphin Energy Healing using the Direction Technique is it improves communication, encourages healthy relationships, relieves tension, encourages a positive self-esteem, improves co- ordination, increases attention span, improves learning difficulties, calms endocrine disorders and most of all helps people be happy.
I have encouraged parents of autistic children to communicate with dolphins and witnessed remarkable improvements in how they communicate in the world."
"Case Study: Cat Healing
I witnessed a healing on a client's stomach. Her cat always sits on her stomach during the healings. Two weeks later, the same client asked me to heal her cat. I can do this from anywhere is the world because I use the skills of teleportation. I remote viewed the cat and felt the cat had lost energy, had a slight virus, the lining of his stomach needed healing, as well as I balanced the acid in the stomach. I received the word 'digestive problems' and 'swelling'. I witnessed a healing to reduce swelling in his lymphatic system. I prayed for her cat and hoped he would respond to the healing and gain energy"

Five people arrested after turning an abandoned Toys R Us into a massive rave
Take a trip back to your younger days with one of the nation's best-known retail chains. USA TODAY
An abandoned Toys R Us store in London got an unusual makeover last month.
Five people are accused of turning the once-popular toy retailer into a nightclub-like venue to host an enormous rave in late March.
The Hounslow Police of West London busted the "massive Easter Weekend rave," which was dubbed "Raves R Us," making light of the toy superstore's iconic logo.
What happened?
The Hounslow Police tweeted that they shut down "an unlicensed music event" on March 31st on Bull's Bridge Industrial Estate.
Authorities also seized a sound system before the rave had the chance to get started.
Later, police advised party-goers not to travel to the area "as all attendees and ticket holders are being turned away."
Toy R Us announced last month that it would close or sell most of its 735 stores in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.
The chain, which became a dream factory for kids nationwide, declared bankruptcy back in September.

Occasionally some maps unfold with the immediate burning question, "what's going on here?" That's exactly what happened Friday (Aug. 25) around 10:00am (PST) when the hashtag #FakeNews looked like this —
The top right cluster of tightly packed profiles called for attention. All the profiles lighting-up as Bots was the hook. At first glance we looked at the four profiles (@Apple stands out) getting most of their attention.
We then noted the #FakeNews tweets:
Seeing this onslaught directed at ProPublica, their journalists and Open Society Foundations, there's little doubt what's afoot. With over 12,500 plus re-tweets in barely four hours it's apparent those behind this campaign were on a mission of flooding the hashtag. The originator of the tweet leaves little doubt how this serves as an example of a computational misinformation campaign in action.
Like a "release the Kraken" moment this is a significant SocialBot propelled initiative. Of the few hundred profiles we connected to this tweet and verified as Bots, they all have essentially the identical "personalities".
- They all have joined Twitter in June, July or August 2017.
- They're all noise, but no audience to hear it. Each profile in many cases is following no one, nor had any followers.
- Their feeds are almost identical tweet for tweet.
ProPublica - #fakenews & #HateGroup funded by @OpenSociety Main presstitutes: @lkirchner @thejefflarson @JuliaAngwin @iarnsdorf @ericuman — @yoiyakujimin.
From our relatively small sample size, we were not able to document any real profiles among the re-tweeters.
Visually connecting a network non-human agents working in such orchestrated fashion is like seeing one small swamp in the overall ecosystem of fake at work. This massively deliberate attempt to erode the public trust in journalism, and in each other is a poison. It's also a sobering reminder that communication technologies envisioned for good, are of equal utility to those of ill-intent.

The BEST Caramel Apple Dip
The BEST and only caramel apple dip you'll ever need! This smooth dip comes together in a matter of minutes. It's a perfect appetizer for holiday parties or barbecues. There is no limitation to when this fine dip can be served!
10 years ago, my aunt made this caramel apple dip for a big Baker family gathering. (My maiden name is Baker, hence "Salt & Baker"). She placed out small individual sized bowls full of this apple dip, then had plates full of sliced apples. It was the perfect refreshment. A little healthy with a side of sweet.
I remember eating it and thinking how much I loved that it wasn't a super thick, hard-to-keep-on-the-apple-thick kind of dip.
You are going to go crazy for this caramel apple dip! It's quick and easy to make, and only requires 5 ingredients.
Ingredients to make Caramel Apple Dip
- Butter
- Brown sugar
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Vanilla extract
- Cinnamon
I will say this, eat the dip when it's warm! This caramel apple dip doesn't have to be eaten warm, but do yourself a favor and eat it warm.
Here is a short video demonstrating the making of this caramel dip.
How to make The BEST Caramel Apple Dip
To whip this up, grab a small sauce pan. Turn your stove on low heat.
Add the butter, brown sugar, and sweetened condensed milk to the sauce pan.
Once the brown sugar has melted add cinnamon and vanilla.
That's it. Done!
Eat it while it's warm. The dip has a runny consistency, but it will thicken as it cools.
I prefer the runny consistency, but everyone is different. Maybe you'll prefer the thicker consistency? Keep me posted and tell me what you think!
This apple dip recipe is a keeper and a great way to use up all of those extra apples!
