Little Tiana was under the weather the whole of yesterday...
A day after returning from Singapore, right after lunch her temperature just went up and thermometer showed 39.4deg celcius later that night. gulp.
This is only her second high fever throughout her life at the moment...and this 2nd time around she already know how to complain so we can hear a couple of merengek and banging of toys due to frustration here and there although she still plays and wander around in our house. boy it was pretty exhausting tending her.She wasnt sure of what she was feeling and what she needs which makes us even more clueless T_T
But she's finally fever free this morning.
She was her ownself again today, playing with her toys, babbling in her own language and wandering about in the house and following mummy and daddy's butt everywhere we go (not too convinient for daddy cuz he was on a passive call shift today and answering a whole lot of calls asking blood pints for patients).
Oh by the way, just a little message while i'm writing here, our National Blood Centre is short of blood so go help donate some blood ok? :)
Since i'm in the traditional medicine line at the moment, i would like to share a recipe with y'all today. it's not some grand annabel karmel or jamie oliver version recipe but just some useful ingredients i combined in tia's porridge and soups while she was unwell.
Fishball Pasta Soup for Sick Babies
1 Shallot + 1tbsp of ikan bilis (tumbuk/blend)
A few cloves of Garlic (ketuk je)
Fishballs, Crabsticks, Chicken (can choose one but i put in all cuz i made this soup for our whole family)
A handful of Goji berries (rinsed)
A handful of barley (rinsed)
Pasta (as much as desired. I used spirals but had a hard time cutting it to pieces for her of course. you can use the pasta stars from heinz)
Sesame Oil
Tarragon & Season All (pakai trial error je but works. hohoho)
A teeny bit of salt
A teeny bit of salt
How To
1. Heat up a weeedle bit of sesame oil and fry the shallots, bilis n garlic. not til golden brown, just until naik bau.
2. Fill up the pot with water and dump all the other ingredients in (except pasta. pasta must cook according to packet instructions ok)
3. Wait for it to boil up. and thats it. hehe
I kind of believe that tia's speedy recovery wasnt her immune system at all. she's just a baby. so perhaps its the diet. We were lucky tias appetite is still ok (she did refuse to eat but we distracted her with the ipad). My weapon ingredients (cewah) would probably be the barley and Gojiberries.
Now time for a little factual read:
Goji Berry
The goji berry is also called the wolfberry. It is a bright orange-red berry that comes from a shrub that's native to China. In Asia, goji berries have been eaten for generations in the hopes of living longer.
Over time, people have used goji berries to treat many common health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, fever, and age-related eye problems. Goji berries are eaten raw, cooked, or dried (like raisins) and are used in herbal teas, juices, wines, and medicines.
Some more pretty awesome facts:
Goji berries also have compounds rich in vitamin A that may have anti-aging benefits. These special compounds help boost immune function, protect vision, and may help prevent heart disease.
Some research suggests that goji berry extracts may boost brain health and may protect against age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's.
Other studies using goji berry juice founds benefits in mental well-being, and calmness, athletic performance, happiness, quality of sleep, and feelings of good health.
One of the seven sacred cereals, barley comes from the eastern Balkans. From an esoteric point of view, barley is considered a mild nourishing force which stimulates the heart and is used for easing the emotional tension of a person.
Barley diet is indicated for eliminating toxins from the body, including the blood, for immune stimulation, cicatrisation and regeneration. Barley helps regulate arterial pressure, eliminates the excess of weight, hydrates the teguments and increases virility. This diet is recommended to be held for a minimum period of 2 weeks. For chronic diseases it can last for a month.
In cases of high fever, barley extract helps reduce the patient's fever.
Cool interesting stuff kan? I love knowing about all these medicinal foods. So back to our story, The whole time Tia was sick i put these in every meal. soup, or porridge. and it worked for us. so mommies out there can give it a try too, who knows if it works for y'all too. of course we do give her panadol syrup and suppository (when the fever got too high) but at least these foods will limit the drugs. especially in our tiny humans:)
This is the cheeky tia again this morning:
Forever putting stuff in her mouth and this time handing the stuff to me......by the mouth. not the hand. ish ishh. haha
All in all, we're all good and happy again today, alhamdulillah:)
Till next post, cheers!:)

Fanatics Authentic Commemorates Historic Wrigley Field with 100th Anniversary Collection
Upon the start of the 2014 MLB season, the iconic home of ballpark of the Chicago Cubs celebrates the Wrigley Field 100th anniversary. Wrigley Field is known as one of the nation's most traditional baseball fields and the Wrigley Field 100 year anniversary is a rare milestone that will be honored by all of Major League Baseball throughout the season.
The timeless Chicago tradition of Wrigley Field history dates back to 1914, when the ballpark went by its former name, Weeghman Park, and was home to the Chicago Federal League team, the Chicago Whales. Wrigley Field earned its current name in honor of former Chicago Cubs owner, William Wrigley Jr., and, although the field previously housed the Chicago Bears, the ballpark is now a dedicated home for just the Cubs. As the oldest National League baseball venue and second oldest active Major League ballpark, Wrigley Field is widely known for its hand-turned scoreboard, ivy-covered brick outfield walls, and red marquee that dons the main entrance. These iconic features make Wrigley Field one of the most recognizable sports venues in the nation and the park provides baseball fans with an experience that is like watching the MLB's earliest games. Often referred to by the nickname, "The Friendly Confines", a phrase coined by Hall of Famer and legendary "Mr. Cub", Ernie Banks, Wrigley Field has been a loyal home field to the Chicago Cubs throughout all of the highs and lows of the last 100 years of the team's history.
Fanatics Authentic offers baseball fans and collectors the unique opportunity to commemorate one of the MLB's most iconic ballparks and take home a piece of baseball history with its exclusive Wrigley Field 100 Years Collection. With unique panoramic images and photo collages, the Wrigley Field Anniversary collection brings sports memorabilia shoppers limited edition collectibles that celebrate a century of baseball memories. Click here, to check out the selection of Wrigley Field anniversary products and add one of these historic collectibles to your collection.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
You get boots and health pots for mobility and sustainability in lane.
You can get boots of mobility for faster movement speed to catch up but, since you have your w, which i call chicken, you can just slow them down. You then get infinity edge for damage and 250% crit damage. After that phantom dancers for attack speed and bloodthirsters for life steal. At the end you build another phantom dancer for more attack speed and another bloodthirster for MORE life steal. At the end of the build, you should kill champions in 4 seconds. OP right? Your crit rate will be 95% always and all you need is some fury. Since you have undying rage, you can live for like 4 seconds and since you are so op, you kill everyone in a short time, so who needs guardian angel? What's the point of that? If you die, they just swarm around you and when you get back up, they punch out your front teeth.

My interest stems from my forty year career as a Railroad conductor and interest in railroad history. I do an hour presentation with or without power point. The presentation starts with one of the hundreds of Orphans stories, acted out taking about ten minutes. I try to change the story each presentation. The rest deals with the history of the placing out movement both The Children's Aid Society, and New York Foundlings Society. Also, I address the pros and cons of the Orphan Trains, movement against, states passing laws, foster care, and the end of the movement. Finally, as we view children today, what did we learn from the Orphan Train movement, and why is it important to keep that history alive.

Miracle Theatre gains arts grants
By Janet Goetze
For the Hollywood Star News
Miracle Theatre Group, also known as Milagro, has been awarded grants totaling $59,540 to support operations and projects as the Latino arts and culture organization enters its 31st season.
The Oregon Arts Commission provided a general operating grant of $40,000 to support the 2014-15 season. This will enable Milagro to maintain its home production schedule and touring programs, advance experimental programming and strategically plan for the organization's future, according to Sarah Kohler, development assistant.
The Regional Arts & Culture Council awarded an operating grant of $18,040 for works celebrating risk-taking and creativity, Kohler said.
The Carpenter Foundation, a private family foundation established in 1958, provided Milagro with $1,500 to support a two-day bilingual arts residency at Crater High School in Jackson County. This funding permits Milagro to provide high-quality bilingual arts education to underserved students in Jackson County, Kohler said.

Talcum Powder Cancer Lawsuit
Over one thousand lawsuits have been filed by women who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer as a result of using talcum powder on their genital area.
The lawsuits claim the manufacturers have known for over 40 years of the link between talc powder and ovarian cancer but intentionally made the decision not to warn women that the powder could cause cancer by entering the vagina after being applied to the genital area or on sanitary napkins or condoms.
The main talc products used for personal hygiene are: Johnson's Baby Powder by Johnson & Johnson; Shower to Shower by Valeant Pharmaceuticals; and Baby Magic Baby Powder.
Filing a Talcum Powder Law Suit
If you or a loved one experienced has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer after using a talc product for an extended amount of time, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Contact the lawyers at Hissey Kientz, LLP for a free case evaluation. You can reach us by calling toll-free at 1-866-275-4454, or by filling out our free contact form on the right of this page.

This past week, the outdoor industry united on a long overdue front and gave Utah Gov. Gary Herbert one last chance to demonstrate some sensibility on the matter of the twice-annual Outdoor Retailer Show.
It was to no avail. The show will complete its contractual obligations in Salt Lake City through 2018 in and in the meantime is beginning its search for a new city to host the event.
The crux of the disagreement is that Herbert as well as other Utah legislators insist upon an ill-informed and maligned approach to public lands in the state, and it came to a head when the recently designated Bears Ears National Monument became a target shortly after the new presidential administration took office.
Setting aside for a moment the shameless pandering to extractive industries and an easily emotionally charged and enraged constituency, the pinnacle of hypocrisy lies with those who disparage the outdoor industry for making this move the way that they have.
The outdoor industry competes squarely with, if not outright outproduces, almost any other in this state in terms of economic gain and stability and is a force to be reckoned with. Surely a group of people solely governed in all things by the bottom line understands this move from that vantage.
In essence, what is being said here is that if Utah does not value the land and the input of those who use it in totality for the multitude of purposes it is best known for, the industry that brings the revenue will simply take its business elsewhere.
What Utah is wagering is that the loss of the show will not affect the tourism and recreation industry too dramatically in the state, and that may prove to be a foolish gamble, or it may not. But it is a gamble.
This year's Summer Outdoor Retailer Show may be a litmus of sorts that gives indications of what the future of the industry here holds. Because although the show itself has an obligation to fulfill, the participants therein do not. Patagonia, one of the dominant presences at the show, has announced it will not be attending, and several other major brands are following suit.
That is to say the show may be a fraction of the size and produce a fraction of the revenue than previous years, and this will be felt in the bottom line of businesses that have come to count on that revenue. It will be felt locally and perhaps farther.
But there will be more to this.

On June 1, my Bean Bean will turn one year old. Holy crap where has all the time gone? Seriously. I can't believe it. But at the same time, I can't believe it has only been a year. I feel like we have done so many new things in one year and that he has just always been here.
For his birthday, I wanted to do something really fun. Something we've never done before. I wanted to take Bean to the zoo. He's really into animals right now (and by "really into" I mean those are the toys he is chewing on most these days…). I thought the zoo would give him lots of things to see and explore and he is at such a good age for observing things.
And then Disney got involved and the zoo became a distant afterthought.
The kind people at Disney World invited our family to one of their parks for a day so that I could review our visit on my blog.
(I love how I say that so nonchalantly, as if I have Disney on my speed dial and they call ALL THE TIME asking me to please come have fun in their parks for the day. In real life I squealed like a little girl when I got the email and then ran out looking for an adult-sized Minnie Mouse costume. Sadly, I didn't find one.)
So, I sent out invitations to family and friends and it looks like we will be spending the day in Disney's Animal Kingdom for Bean's birthday. I am super, super excited. Chris is a little less so. He is worried that Bean is too small for Disney right now. And I sort of agree, but that's why we are going to the Animal Kingdom. It doesn't have quite as many rides and things (from what I can tell) and so I think that might be perfect for our Birthday Boy.
The best news is that I got us a reservation at The Rainforest Cafe for the birthday lunch and they'll let me bring my own cake, instead of buying it at the park. I'm so excited! My mom and I are hunting for safari-themed party decorations, too. So far we've got those safari hats and animal print leis for everyone to wear. I don't know what I'm more excited about – seeing Bean dressed as a safari guy or seeing him eat his birthday cake!
Also, I found out that when I pick my tickets up for the park, if I tell them that it is Bean's birthday, they'll give him a birthday button to wear all day and then all the characters will pay special attention to him since its his birthday! And that's a perk that anyone can use when they go to the park, so be sure you alert the park when you visit if you have a special occasion. They do all kinds of Celebration Buttons at all the Disney parks. What a fun feature!
I am so excited about Bean's birthday now! Thanks to Disney, I think it will be incredible! I'm hoping Disney is aware that they are setting the bar for future birthday parties pretty high and that I will now be calling them every year. Its really their own fault for being so nice, you know…
(By the way, these pictures have nothing to do with Bean's birthday other than the fact that he looks like such a big boy in them!)

Kai Ryssdal: There are two words that seem to move the markets more than anything else: Consumer and confidence. The BBC's just done a global survey on it. Justin, what did you learn?
Justin Rowlatt: Well, certainly no surprises. For rich countries, the poll found that people living in wealthy economies, well they're rather a pessimistic bunch -- most people expecting bad or mostly bad times to come.
Ryssdal: Stands to reason, I'd say, given their relationships to Europe, right?
Rowlatt: Except emerging economies -- many of which also have ties with Europe -- are decidedly upbeat. Brazilians, Indians, Chinese -- they're pretty chipper. Cheeriest of all, though, are people in nations like Nigeria and Kenya.
The BBC's got a regular commentator from Kenya, Wycliffe Muga. He says his country is somewhat affected by the Eurozone crisis -- but the biggest casualty in his region is likely to be Africa's own monetary union.
Wycliffe Muga: Everywhere you go in Kenya, you will find signs of a government seriously trying to bring economic opportunity to its people. We have many new and vastly improved roads, water pipes and power lines stretching into regions where they had never been seen before and other major infrastructure improvements. So even though Kenyans remain acutely aware that around half our population live in extreme poverty, looking at these improvements it is hard not to believe that we have good times ahead.
So is there any chance that the eurozone crisis, itself created by excessive borrowing on the part of some nations, will have a negative impact on our economy, and the current optimistic mood? After all, many of our key trading partners -- the buyers of our tea, coffee, fresh-cut flowers, as well as the source markets for our tourists -- are Europeans.
Well in the short term, the effects are unlikely to be devastating, though they will definitely be negative. It is true that that people generally respond to economic uncertainty by reducing personal spending. And with both vacations and flowers being, at the end of the day, luxuries which can be swiftly abandoned, we are likely to have fewer tourists visiting and fewer flowers sold. More significant though -- whether for good or bad -- is the potential long term loss of faith in the virtues of monetary unions.
Developing nations often imitate others when planning for the future. And their planners love little more than creating local versions of what they see working well in richer nations. So the five East African nations of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi have long been working on plans for monetary union, as part of their attempt to create a single East African trading zone.
Still, East African plans for monetary union would be brought to a grinding halt -- if, as seems likely, the creation of the euro turns out to be a noble experiment, which never quite worked as advertised.
Ryssdal: Wycliffe Muga is the BBC World Service's correspondent for "Letter from Africa." He lives in Mombasa, Kenya.

text: Implementing Restraint Minimization Practices in a 30-Bed High-care Dementia Unit: A Best Practice Implementation ProjectMurray, RobynPACEsetterS: July-September 2011 - Volume 8 - Issue 3 - p 25–33 doi: 10.1097/01.JBI.0000405542.97161.e5 Departments: Evidence in Action: Peer Reviewed Article Abstract In Brief Author Information Background The awarding of an Aged Care Clinical Fellowship through the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) provided an opportunity to examine restraint practices and implement evidence-based strategies aimed to minimize the use of physical restraint within a 30-bed high-care dementia setting. Utilizing the Practical Application of Clinical Evidence Systems (PACES), an online continuous quality improvement program, an audit was conducted to measure compliance against four best practice standards. Barriers to implementation were identified using the JBI Getting Research into Practice (GRIP) principles to support staff to apply evidence-based practice into care delivery for residents. This paper describes the journey of audit, implementation of strategies to support the application of evidence-based practice, and reaudit and evaluation of results. Aims/Objectives The identified aims of the project were to improve local practice in the management of physical restraint, and to support staff through education and review of the organization's procedure and supporting suite of assessment tools to ensure decisions to apply restraint are based in best practice evidence, with the priority being to minimize the use of physical restraint use. It was anticipated that the successful strategies utilized in the project would be replicated across the organization. Methods The process of audit, feedback, and reaudit using the PACES model was utilized for the project. Identifying a number of barriers to compliance allowed for change management strategies to be developed and implemented in response to the barriers. Required resources were identified; an education package developed and delivered to staff, and complete review of the organizational procedure and assessment tools was undertaken and trialled in the project setting. Reaudit of the four best practice standards was undertaken at the end of the project in order to measure changes to compliance and to evaluate whether the project aims had been met. Results The results demonstrate levels of compliance pre and post implementation of the strategies implemented for improved compliance against audit criteria. All areas showed improvement in the follow-up audit, with the greatest improvement being in the area of staff education. Discussion/Conclusion The project confirmed that an ongoing commitment is required in order to achieve sustainable results. Although much has been achieved throughout the duration of the project, the journey towards restraint minimization has just begun. The process of audit, feedback, and reaudit is an effective tool in implementing and measuring changes to compliance utilizing the PACES and GRIP tools in the application of evidence-based practice. Find out how a dementia unit implemented best practice in their restraint minimization practices to improve care delivery for residents.

Pickles; Tourshi – (Persian/Arabic: ترشى torshi ; Turkish: turşu; Greek: τουρσί toursi ; Bulgarian: туршияturshiya ; Bosnian: turšija) are the pickled vegetables of the cuisines of many Balkan and Middle East countries. The word torshi comes from the Persian word torsh, which means 'sour'. This sour Middle Eastern side dish consisting of a variety of vegetables under vinegar, eaten with main dishes in small quantities.
Tourshi is common in Armenian, Persian, Middle Eastern, Greek, Albanian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, and Bosnian cuisine. Iran boasts a great variation of hundreds of different types of torshi according to regional customs and different events. In some families, no meal is considered complete without a bowl of torshi on the table.
Making tourshi at home is still a widespread tradition during the autumn months, even in the big cities.
Tourshi is made with garlic, chili peppers, celery, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage and other vegetables, and dried aromatic herbs pickled in vinegar, salt, and different spice mixtures, which usually include whole black peppercorns.
Tourshi liteh is made with eggplants and herbs (parsley, coriander, mint, tarragon, basil.) Eggplants are baked in the oven, put in a glass jar with herbs and vinegar, and stored in a cool, dry place for two to three months.

I spent from birth to 9 years old living at 269 Barton Street and was a WW2 baby. My mother told me about the bomb that fell when I was a baby, which obliterated two or three houses next to us, leaving a crack in our outer wall. She was in the garden hanging out the washing when the plane went over and she saw it discharge its cargo. She grabbed my sister and I, and called the family cat and ran into our cellar. She said that she was desperately worried that the eggs she had planned for tea and left in a bowl on the kitchen window sill, would be broken and was wondering what she could feed us instead. After the ghastly noise ceased, and she came out of the cellar, the eggs were still intact! She said that was all she thought about in the cellar and all else left her mind. After the war she never talked about the neighbours or any aftermath....just the above.
Myself, my sister, and 5 other children from the surrounding houses thought it was great that we had our very own adventure playground to play in i.e., the bomb site. We had no fear of uneven ground, a dirty sandpit, a lorry yard, a wood- cutters shed with rusty nails and sawdust, etc. (My father never spoke about the bomb and we never asked him about it. He was not at home at the time.)
Thank you for sharing this memory Marian. Does anyone else have any memories of either wartime or childhood in Barton and Tredworth that they would like to share? I'd be pleased to hear from you if so.

Bistability of ferroelectric domain walls: Morphotropic boundary and strain effects
The internal structure of neutral 180 degrees domain walls in perovskite-type ferroelectrics is studied in terms of Landau theory taking into account electromechanical coupling. The study is focused on the wall bistability, a factor of potential interest for information storage. A strong impact of elastic effects on the wall structure is demonstrated. It is shown that the conclusion derived earlier by Houchmandzadeh et al. [J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 3, 5163 (1991)], neglecting the electrostictive coupling, that all the domain walls near the boundary between two ordered phases become bistable may not hold due to the elastic effects. Criteria for domain-wall bistability are formulated in terms of the materials thermodynamic properties and the wall orientation. The obtained general results are applied to the analysis of bistability of 180 degrees domain walls in Pb(Zr-c, Ti1-c)O-3 near the tetragonal-rhombohedral morphotropic boundary. It is shown that, on the tetragonal side, the electrostrictive interaction suppresses the wall bistability that was predicted in terms of the theory neglecting the elastic effects. On the rhombohedral side, the domain walls are found bistable or not depending on the anisotropy of the correlation energy, the information on which is not presently available. It is also shown that, in the rhombohedral phase, the anisotropy of the correlation energy results in appearance of additional polarization component in the plane of the wall.

5 Reasons We're Proud of Hippo Thinks' 2016
New Year's Day might be all about making resolutions for the future, but New Year's Eve is all about looking back on the year that's just gone. And at Hippo Thinks, that makes us feel pretty good about ourselves: in 2016, we accomplished a lot. Here are five quick-hit facts to show how far we've come in the past 365 days:
1. We doubled the number of thought leadership pieces we published for the second year in a row.
2. We published in great venues including TechCrunch, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Bloomberg, CIO Review, Ad Age, VentureBeat, Mediapost, EdSurge, and GigaOm.
3. People actually read and interacted with our content. The average article received 1,925 engagements, which is more than four times the average for articles on the New York Times website.
4. We grew our Hippo Thinks research network to include academics from the University of Chicago's Decision Science Lab, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Washington Bothell School of Business, to name a few.
5. We doubled the size of our staff. In 2016 we welcomed our new Editor-in-Chief Tori, Head of Operations Daniel; Content Strategists Richelle, Firoozeh, and Tammy; and Research Assistant Reina. (Though there were some sad goodbyes, too: after almost two years, our Head of Academic Outreach, Colleen Abel, is moving on to take a poetry fellowship in Tulsa.)
What accomplishments of 2016 are you most proud of? Tell us in the comments.

One of the worst social situations that you can find yourself in is having to take sides in a divorce. Now, luckily, no one has asked me to take sides, but at the same time, after a split-up between friends, there's at least a twinge of awkwardness here and there. I don't know what led to Hernan Gipponi and his HG restaurant departing from the Fierro Hotel, Soler 5862 in Palermo, which is owned by a couple of friends, and I haven't asked either party to the split what happened, nor do I really want to know. Hernan has a project in the works that I'm looking forward to, while the Rosberg clan behind the hotel have brought in a new chef, Edward Holloway, a young Irishman who comes to town via Bariloche, where he's run the wildly popular Butterfly for years.
The room at the new Uco (presumably named after the wine region in Mendoza) has been redone, once again – it's back to feeling a bit spare, as it was when HG first opened – though a bit prettier. The booths are gone, it's all tables now, which gives it a bit more open feel. I'm sorry to see that the window into the kitchen has been frosted over – I, for one, enjoy watching chefs prepping food, and I know many diners who do. There was little business the evening I was there, a Wednesday, just a table for four out on the patio, and down the line a table for two of hotel guests who wandered in. Not at all the hotel's or restaurant's fault, but the four-top moved inside a bit later, a group of four from Sweden, who probably couldn't have talked at a higher volume without standing up, taking a deep breath, and screaming at each other. Though, I suppose, someone on staff could have asked them to take it down a notch in deference to the few others of us in the room.
Great breads, particularly the brown bread, served right off the bat. Always a good sign. I decided to order the seven course tasting menu (430 pesos), with paired wines (240 pesos), to give me a little insight into the chef's style. I knew the pairings would be spot on with Andres Rosberg (president of the Argentine sommelier society) behind the list. I was a bit disappointed by the lack of any sort of cocktail offering – they have a full bar, but no house cocktails, and my waitress' response was "we could mix you something basic if you want". Never mind, we'll go straight to the wine.
Within 2-3 minutes the first course hit the table, a bit fast I thought, especially as I didn't have wine yet, but surely that was right behind. I waited. The plate, a trio of chilled fiambres – cured bondiola (pork shoulder) with caramelized onions, rabbit liver pate with almonds, veal tongue with a little herb vinaigrette.
And, no wine, and I hadn't touched the cold plate yet, when the second course came out about five minutes later, a mix of fried seafood (prawns, calamari, smelt), with a sweet aioli. I pointed out to the waitress that I hadn't yet touched the first course, as I was awaiting the wine, and didn't really want a hot course on the table at the same time as a cold. Her response was that the chef sends things out at his pace, and that's the way it is. I told her to take it back, and I would await the wine, and I wasn't in a hurry. She told me they had no idea where the sommelier was and were waiting for her to show up to serve the wine. How about you serve me the wine? No, can't do that. Fine, I'll wait. Another five minutes or so went by and then a young woman, dressed like she'd been probably doing inventory in the cellar or something, came in, and came over and poured me my first wine (not a word said, just showed the wine and poured it and walked away)…
… now, I understand the concept of wine pairings and tasting portions of wine, but for a wine that was supposed to last me for two courses, this is skimpy. And all the pours were like this – with five wines paired into seven courses, I doubt that this amounts to much over one full glass of wine during the evening. To her credit, when I finished off this mouthful before the second course came back to the table, she did return and pour me the same amount again. First wine – Mendel Semillon, a favorite, and an excellent choice.
A bit disjointed of a dish, and slightly odd to return to a cold course after a hot one – a carpaccio of salmon blanco (sandperch) "acevichado" – with onions and peppers (the waiter who brought it to the table called it a ceviche, which it isn't, given no citrus curing or chili, but the menu had it correct. On its own, delicious. I didn't quite get the pair-up on the second plate of cubes of fried yuca and an apple and cucumber dice in a bowl. Was I supposed to put the mix of hot and cold things together on one plate, eat them separately, in sequence…? Individually all good, they just didn't go together – this course would be better leaving off the yuca and maybe adding some of the apple and cucumber to the main plate. No wine on the table by this point, and no sign of the sommelier again. I gave up and started in on the course, about halfway through it, my waitress came and poured the next wine, a Terrazas de los Andes Chardonnay – wait, I thought you couldn't pour the wines? Whatever….
Favorite plate of the evening – perfectly cooked lisa (mullet) with a crispy skin, over gremolata risotto, with shaved asparagus. I'd figured on stretching that mouthful of wine into this course, but it turned out not to be necessary – sommelier showed back up and about midway through this course served up a Ramanegra Pinot Noir.
Except, damnit, that turned out to be for this course – just served early while I still had the previous course, because she disappeared again – I guess she just has her own timing, unrelated to the kitchen or guest. By the way, the waitress and waiter, were delightful, friendly, and welcoming – I don't know what was going on with the sommelier, but, my friends, she needs some guidance. The course, crispy sweetbread nuggets, mushrooms, and swiss chard filled with leeks, pancetta, prosciutto, and "a secret masa" that they couldn't tell me what it was. Had the texture of a those Korean rice thingies – a little chewy but still soft. Good dish.
The first and only course where the wine was served just before the dish arrived on the table, i.e., the correct timing – a Benegas Cabernet Sauvignon – and, the only time the sommelier actually spoke to me, asking if I was enjoying the meal. The dish, slow cooked suckling pig with mustard sauce, beets and beet puree, potato and peas. Great flavors, though maybe just a touch dry.
Not on the menu, a palate cleanser, pre-dessert. Organic yogurt in the bottom – the yogurt hung to make a bit of a yogurt "cheese" – and the whey that drips out was turned into a granité. No wine.
What the waiter termed a white chocolate flan, though I'd say it's a white chocolate cheesecake, with a mango salad and lime sorbet. Wine arrived midway through – Navarro Correas' Alegoria Tardio, a late harvest blend of Semillon and Sauvignon blanc. Around this time the chef came out of the kitchen, dressed in a t-shirt and jeans – I don't get that, if you're going to go around to tables, leave your chef coat on – a little professionalism here – maybe both chef and sommelier feel they don't need to show that level of respect to their guests? (A pet peeve here, by the way – especially given that the waitstaff are dressed nicely.) He went to the table of the Swedish folk and engaged them in conversation – I'm guessing caught up in their loud volume, he followed suit, which meant the room (that is, the three of us in it), were treated to his resume listed off (they asked) and a whole discussion of how he'd ended up at the Fierro Hotel. Then he went back to the kitchen, without looking at or acknowledging either me or the other table.
So, what do I think after a run through on the tasting menu and laying out a bit over 700 pesos with tip? The food – quite good, with some missteps, but nothing major, and while small portions individually, it added up nicely, I was comfortably full and satisfied. My guess, like the first time I went to HG, is that the chef may need a little time to get into the rhythm of the place and perhaps tweak some of the dishes. The regular waitstaff, great service, though they need to know a little more about the food they're serving. The sommelier needs some serious attitude adjustment, and those wine pours are pretty meager, especially for the price, even if they are premium wines – not one of them lasted me through a full course. The chef could use a little more social professionalism when in the front of house. Worth it overall? Yes. Not an amazing meal, but a quite good one. Hopefully, the divorce works out for everyone in the long run.

What better way to see how well Rami Malek deserved his recent Emmy win by giving him a chance to play a character the exact opposite of the near-sociopathic one he played in Mr. Robot.
Bryan Singer, the director who made a huge name for himself with the X-Men films, wants to helm the movie chronicling the rise of the rock band Queen, and he's eyeing Malek to play its flamboyant frontman, Freddie Mercury.
The film is called Bohemian Rhapsody, according to Deadline, after one of the band's most famous songs released on Halloween 1975. It's the latest step for Oscar-winning producer Graham King, the man behind such critical hits as The Aviator, The Departed and Hugo.
King has brought in Twentieth Century Fox and New Regency to help him get the film going after an eight-year struggle to get it done, and will now focus more on Mercury, the singer and songwriter who founded Queen in 1970, and led the band until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1991. Malek, who won his Emmy for playing Elliot Alderson in the tech-driven USA network series, would take on the artist who media and fans were never really able to quite fully figure out.
The most recent screenplay for the film was crafted by Anthony McCarten, according to Deadline. McCarten earned two Oscar nominations for his 2014 film The Theory of Everything, which chronicled the life of another famous figure, physicist Stephen Hawking.
McCarten's most recent work, Darkest Hour, is currently in front of cameras. It stars Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill, chronicling his leadership against Nazi Germany during the early days of World War II.
King also has been busy. He has two films completed – the horror film Delirium with Topher Grace and Patricia Clarkson, and the historical drama Allied with Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard.
Malek already finished the second season of Mr. Robot for USA, and is now filming a remake of the 1973 film Papillon. Written by Aaron Guzikowski based on the Henri Charriere book, the story centers on a prisoner kept on a remote island, who works to plot his escape.
Finally, Singer has been busy as both a producer and a director. Besides Bohemian Rhapsody, he's also set to helm 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which currently is in pre-production, but yet to cast anyone. He also is an executive producer on three television series planned next year – the FX series Legion based on the Marvel comic, the first live-action X-Men television series potentially for Fox, and a World War III television series, potentially for Spike TV.
A Freddie Mercury film has been attempted a few times in recent years, Deadline said. An early attempt was with comic improv actor Sacha Baron Cohen playing the singer based on a script from Peter Morgan, the creator of the new Netflix series The Crown.
No timetable has been released for Bohemian Rhapsody, but it's expected to go in front of the cameras next year.

The global IT industry has undergone a massive boom over the last few years. Such a revolutionary changeover has led to a very promising future for dedicated web hosting. Irrespective of whether you own a huge, established business or just a start-up, you need to offer a safe environment in the best way possible in order to cater to your target audience.

The main objective of any business should be to offer the best services and the best way to achieve this is to opt for a dedicated server (a physical server that's dedicated for single customer use so that they can use the memory of the dedicated server and processor resources fully) so that your server has the needed resources and capabilities without the need to share them with anyone else.

If you are not able to afford a dedicated server for your startup, you should at least definitely consider getting one when your business really needs it. This article can help you determine when the right time to invest in a dedicated server for your business is. You should opt for it if you think:

Down-time Might Be Expensive: If your site is going through a downtime because of poor server performance, it might cost your business a lot and prove fatal. During such down-times, your business might have lost plenty of leads. If you wish to avoid such losses, it's vital to opt for a reliable and secure environment to run the site and choose a dedicated server.

Your E-commerce Business Generates Revenue: If your e-commerce business is the main revenue source, down-times can pose a risk to revenues, and credibility of your online store. So, consider this factor very carefully. Imagine if a potential customer is unable to browse through your product collection just because of slow performance and he just opts not to shop from you. This will directly have an adverse effect on your business.

Your Website Experiences Peak Hours Sometimes: If your website experiences huge traffic flow occasionally, you must go for a dedicated server. This again applies to e-commerce businesses that get lots of traffic when discounts are announced and during festivals.

Your Business Needs Exceptional Hosting Features: Consider this factor well in advance before opting for hosting. If you need special hosting features such as extra backup, additional redundancy, server software, and high server specifications, a dedicated server is the best bet as ordinary hosting servers might not be able to offer such features. Since dedicated servers are exclusively designed for individual business, such advanced features can easily be incorporated.

Priority Support Is Vital for Your Business: If your business needs support on priority basis for smooth functioning, it's recommended to go for dedicated hosting service. Since such servers are devised specially, you can expect all kinds of priority support with dedicated server, though nothing is better than an in-house support team.

If your business is undergoing any of these situations, dedicated hosting services can offer you the best solution. There are plenty of benefits associated with such servers. The best part is that your business need not anymore go through the risk of crashing down and getting vastly slowed down. Moreover, the server response time is also excellent, thus ensuring that your site visitors need not wait for a long time during the navigation.

Now that you know the importance of opting for a dedicated server, do consider getting one so that you can enjoy enhanced reliability and server up-time, thus improving your website's overall performance.

Some more news has surfaced about Wayne Simmons, the frequent Fox News guest the U.S. government indicted last week for fabricating his credentials and falsely boasting of a three-decade CIA career.
A federal judge, Ivan Davis, didn't allow Simmons, 62, to be released from jail because "he has a lack of regard for the law," ABC News reported, citing his "past brushes with the law." ABC News reported:
"Simmons hadn't paid his mortgage since 2010 and his car was repossessed last month, according to the prosecutor. He was also arrested 11 times for driving under the influence of alcohol, prosecutors said. The disposition of those cases was not clear.
"Two weapons were found in his home when he was arrested last week, even though he was prohibited from owning firearms because of previous weapons convictions. The details of those cases were not clear."
Interestingly, ABC News reported that Simmons' lawyer Whitney Minter said his client has known the government was investigating him for two years. Minter is the First Assistant Federal Public Defender for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Simmons was indicted for "charges of major fraud against the United States, wire fraud, and making false statements to the government."
Last week, Neil Cavuto issued a thorough on-air apology, which Fox News sent to iMediaEthics, in which he accepted responsibility for having Simmons on the show and promised to vet guests thoroughly to regain viewers' trust.
Cavuto said on air:
"In the last 24 hours, it has come to our attention that a frequent guest on this show might not have been who he purported to be. Fed prosecutors now claim Wayne Simmons was not a former CIA operative, or for that matter ever worked at the CIA at all.
"If it's true that all our due diligence and vetting on Mr. Simmons missed this, that's big and that's on me and only me. And you as viewers have little reason to be comforted by the excuse that Mr. Simmons might, and I stress might, have fooled many others including no less than former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
"But the responsibility to check out who comes on this show ultimately lies with me. After all its my … name on it. I'm in charge of it. I decide who comes on it. If in so doing, I wasn't thorough enough, or followed up enough, it's on me and I apologize. You have a right to expect guests who appear here to be who they say they are here.
"Now it's a very rare slip up but it's a very big slip up and i will make doubly sure something like this never ever happens again. I value your trust and I promise, I promise to work very hard to regain it."
At the Washington Post, Erik Wemple collected a handful of Simmons' "tough-guy claims" on Fox News.
