Rohit of course was never alone in this.Just like a million others from Mars,he was totally clueless and confused regarding what made a Venusian tick.Failures might be the pillars of success but where women are concerned,there are probably too many pillars crowding Mars right now.Success just has no room left to breathe on that god-forsaken planet.Hell,it won't be too surprising if it has packed its bags and left for Venus for good.So Mars can just kiss Venus' arse!
Till now,Rohit's long spell of Martian single-hood had been punctuated only with short bursts of casual dates and flings.In Rohit's world,short meant anything from a couple of hours to a couple of days.But definitely not more.Flunking the exam of love came naturally to Rohit.And he flunked royally.
But he debunked chicks royally too.
He was one of the most popular contributors to his company's internal blog forum.He sprinkled his blogs with liberal doses of vitriolic remarks against gals in general,and hot chicks in particular.Calling grapes sour does not make them sour,but they sure do take away a lot of sourness from the mind.Political correctness and diplomacy be damned.The easiest way to attract the moths of readers' traffic is to spark the fires of controversy.And Rohit ignited infernos.Hell,some of the comments on his posts used to be bonfires in themselves.Men were all praises for his guts,and women were out for his guts.Rohit relished both.Until on a not so fine a day…
"Hey Mr Ro-shit...so little baby cries himself to sleep every night...wetting his pillows wishing for a gal to luv him?Do you wet your bed too?"
Rohit stared for ten seconds at this ping in the window of his company's chatting software.It didn't take a descendant of Einstein to figure out that this small bundle of praise being heaped on him right now was a side-effect of his chauvinistic blogs.Angry brickbats from gals was a part of his life.But till now,they had just been restricted to comments on his blog posts.This was the first time someone had actually pinged him.
So someone finally decided to take the bull by its horns.
"What,cat got your tongue?Or did a chick make you chicken out?" Another ping followed,even before he had the time to come up with a witty repartee.
Rohit squinted at the name.Ankita Agarwala.He didn't know her.But this bitch was getting on his nerves.His fingers flew over the keyboard.
"Hi,cat didn't get my tongue.A catwoman did.With sharp claws and all.I wonder why.Had too much of stinky fish to eat,did she?Coz her words sure do stink!!!!"
Ankita's reply was furiously fast."Hah!Look who's talking.Who writes all that shit on blogs about women,shit-head?I had been following you for sometime now.You certainly have some major rejection issues.I suggest you go see a shrink."
Ouch! That was totally under the belt!!And cheap!!
Or so Rohit thought. No one likes to be reminded of bitter truths. Even when they are so obviously apparent to oneself and also to everybody else. He started typing again.
"Ms. Crankita Ogre-wala,please do mind your language.All our chat conversations get recorded,you know.If you have the guts not to chicken out,why don't we just meet mano-a-mano and see this to the finish?What say?Food Court,in front of the Amul Counter @ 4 PM?Or do you just prefer to shout and rant @ people from the safety of your chat window?"
"Pah!!Challenge accepted!!!See u sharp @ 4.Just bring along a fresh pair of undies along.You are gonna shit in your pants!!I am gonna make u!!!"
Some wild untamed Amazon she was!Rohit felt a bit intimidated,and yet strangely aroused.
Little did he know,their meeting was about to change his life upside down.
To be continued….

A group of state House lawmakers wants to cut the chance of jail time for possession of small amounts of marijuana. The Macon Democrat who's carrying the bill says she hopes to win over House Republicans with a promise of saving money.
There are two distinctions in the debate over recreational marijuana: legalizing it and decriminalizing it. Legalizing marijuana would effectively treat marijuana just like any other product, though it could still be regulated like cigarettes or alcohol.
Decriminalizing marijuana would not make it legal, but it could mean that people are fined or cited instead of arrested and jailed for carrying small amounts of weed.
That's what state Rep. Miriam Paris is proposing with House Bill 865. She says the bill is not about legalizing marijuana, but about an appropriate punishment for a nonviolent crime.

"It is just making it where we're not sending people to jail, where they have to go and sit just because they can't make bail or for it," she said. Her bill says that a possession of up to a half-ounce of marijuana would be punishable by a maximum $300 fine.
Right now, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana is a misdemeanor and subject to up to a year's imprisonment and up to a $1,000 fine. An ounce or more of marijuana is a felony.
Her bill moves the felony line up to two ounces or more of marijuana. Her bill is identical to Senate Bill 105, which state Sen. Harold Jones II, D-Augusta, carried to state Senate Judiciary Committee approval last year.
On the other side of the Capitol, a panel of state Senators in the Republican-dominated state legislature has already approved the idea of cutting the punishment for up to a half-ounce of weed.
Decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana could save the state a lot of money. An oft-cited study by Harvard economist Jeffrey A. Miron found that enforcing marijuana prohibition costs federal and state governments billions of dollars each year, mostly in dealing with low-level possession offenses.
The city of Atlanta decriminalized marijuana in 2017 after the city of Clarkston did the same a year earlier. Medical cannabis oil is legal statewide for certain approved conditions.
"A lot of times, these are poor people that are getting caught, same thing, it's just a vicious cycle, when you continue to rack up court fees, bond fees, things like that," Paris said.
Across the nation, people are changing their minds about marijuana.
According to the latest survey from the Pew Research Center, more than 60 percent of Americans now favor legalizing marijuana throughout the country. That's a massive jump in a relatively short amount of time. In 1990, only about 16 percent of people thought marijuana should be legalized.
Georgians feel a little less strongly about legalizing weed - only about 46 percent of residents thought pot should be legal throughout the state in 2016, according to an AJC poll.
Almost half of U.S. states do not impose jail time for possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use, according to the nonpartisan National Conference of State Legislatures.
If Paris gets a committee hearing, she said she's hoping the folks across the aisle will see the savings to the taxpayer. However, the Senate Rules Committee was in no hurry to schedule Jones' bill for a full Senate floor vote.
His bill sat waiting to be scheduled for about a month as the last legislative session ended. It still hasn't been scheduled this year.

It was such a relaxing day, starting from the moment I entered Emily's hotel room to capture her details, to the very end when she threw her bouquet. Without a cloud in the sky, Emily and Connor chose to celebrate their marriage at Ault Park, surrounded by friends and family, on a Sunday morning. Did I mention the ceremony was followed by a brunch reception that included chicken and waffles? You read that right, chicken and waffles my friends, also, a big pile of delicious bacon. Are my clients the best, or what?!
Emily and Connor are two people that truly love each other, and I am so glad I was able to capture their day. It was even sweeter that they chose to read personal vows to one another, which is no small task if you ask me. It was an emotional moment when Connor recalled their first date (and later their engagement) at Skyline, while Emily promised to go kayaking with her new husband at least once a month.
They didn't want a typical reception, so they chose to forego the usual dances and speeches and instead opted for a more casual affair. They still cut a cake, which was absolutely delicious and prepared by a friend of the brides, decorated with florals from Flowers from the Rafters, who also made the gorgeous ceremony decor as well as Emily's bouquet. If you ask me, there should be more Sunday morning brunch weddings!

Ok, I know that I've already posted today, but has anyone seen this? Oh. My. Gosh. I had to literally hold my hands away from my wallet so that I wouldn't purchase it on the spot. It's got a really unique construction. First, each snowflake is knit out of the slightly iridescent stuff, and then you pick up stitches around and knit an octagonal background in the suri. After that, each snowflake is grafted together by the edges of the background. I want it.

Cheese and Yogurt
Keeping your enamel strong is key to maintaining your dental health. The calcium found in cheese does just that! Because cheese tends to stick to our teeth while eating, it creates a natural barrier to keep out acids that may affect the enamel. Much like cheese, yogurt is also packed with calcium and probiotics. The probiotics help keep out decay and flush away bacteria that can be harmful to your gums. Both of these foods are also full of Vitamin D, which helps prevent tooth loss by building strong teeth and bones.
Apples and Tea
Apples are great teeth cleaners. Because they contain a large amount of fiber and water, apples can help rid of bacteria between the teeth and gums. Black tea can also protect your teeth against bacteria. The polyphenols flush away plaque that can build up and cause tooth decay later on. If you are a tea drinker, then keep on drinking! However, the tannin can stain your teeth but a splash of milk in your cup will help prevent discoloration from occurring.
Carrots and Celery
Full of Vitamin A, carrots are great for dental health because their crunchiness develops saliva, which helps clear away plaque between your teeth. Similarly, celery is filled with water and vitamins A and C, promoting healthy gums. Vitamin C especially helps fight against bacterial infections and cell damage that can be harmful to your gums. Both of these foods also help freshen breath.
Greens and Proteins
Greens, such as spinach, contain a form of Vitamin B called folic acid that helps with cellar growth and prevents gum disease. Great sources of protein include: almonds, cashews, meat, poultry, and fish. A cashew's shell oil contains microbes that help prevent tooth decay. They are also high in phosphorus and will keep the enamel from wearing down. Also, almonds are especially good for your dental health because they packed with calcium and do not have a lot of sugar.
These foods will help lead you straight to strong dental health when combined with brushing your teeth twice a day! At Premier Dental Associates of Lower Manhattan, we want our patient's dental health to be the best it can be.
Good Foods for Your Dental Health
What we eat affects our oral health. It is important to note that limiting the amount of snacks you consume and maintaining a healthy diet is best for your dental hygiene. Here are some foods that are healthy for your teeth and gums, contain vital minerals and vitamins, and prevent tooth decay.

It's definitely the future!! :)Delete

Last week, Brian Costello of the New York Daily News reported that the expectation from people around the NFL is that the Jets will exercise the fifth-year option on DE Muhammad Wilkerson and opt to negotiate a long-term deal at a later time.
Since then, there has been some speculation that Wilkerson could consider holding out for a long-term contract, but it doesn't sound like this strategy has even crossed Wilkerson's mind.
"It will be taken care of, definitely. But all that holdout and all that other talk that people were saying and everything – I never said anything like that. I'm not going to hold out," Wilkerson said, via the Metro New York. "It's not something I want; it's not something I'm thinking about. I'm going to show up like everybody else and do what I'm told."
Wilkerson, 24, will make just $1.2 million for 2014 season, so he is clearly in line for a massive contract after getting off to a great start to his NFL career. Even so, Wilkerson is hoping to finish out his career with the Jets.
"Like I tell everybody, that's what I got an agent for. I feel I've got a damn good one. They're going to discuss with John and them and I think they're going to work something out," Wilkerson said. "I have faith in them. At the end of the day, I want to be a Jet for life. I think I will be so I'm going to let everything take care of itself. Everything will fall into place; everything happens for a reason. I'm just sitting here waiting."
In his first three seasons in the NFL, Wilkerson has totaled 116 tackles, 18.5 sacks, 6 forced fumbles and an interception. The price of top-tier defensive ends continues to climb, so it will be interesting to see the contracts handed out to the 2011 class of pass rushers including J.J. Watt, Aldon Smith, Robert Quinn and of course Wilkerson.

I have too much!
Now that we have moved the items we need to the new flat, I realise and I am sure I have mentioned this on my blog, that I have too much!
Not just clothes, but shoes, cosmetics and smellies, so I am not going to buy anything unless I need to. I cannot to Stoptober wholly as car insurance and other things are due but I am eating out of the cupboards and freezer where I can and only buying the minimum of ingredients.
For example, Sunday night I cooked a bolognaise, using Quorn Mince which is £1.89 and a tomato sauce ( I know I can make it cheaper but I prefer using a jar) costing £1.20 and pasta which was reduced to 25p for 500g. It made four portions and that is about 84 p a portion which sounds good to me!!
We still have items at our old flat as the Loss Adjuster is so slow hoever do have a storage company coming for the remaining items that we can do without for six months.
Issue with firm seems to be dragging on but hope that it is resolved soon so that I can look at getting better so I can get a job. I have completed my ESA forms and apart from some confusion about my working voluntarily on average about 2-4 hours a month - so they sent me a PW1 for paid workers, I found the procedure fine which is probably because I do not intend to be on it for too long.
I am still struggling with depression and have still been having panic attacks I am hoping that once the issue with my firm is resolved I can get back to normal whatever that is.
Ta ra for now!

I got to Sharon's early because my Mom and Rachel were going to Fort Washington for Fire Safety (since we homeschool they do that). So when I got there, Sharon, Abby, and Ellie were all ready to ride and they had put the hackamore on Daisy so nicely for me since I was going to ride bareback anyway! We went for about an hour and we cantered a nice bit of it and I was amazingly fine and didn't get sore ;) Daisy did awesome too! Then MaryRose came and she got Beauty ready to ride...Lillian and Jonathan showed up soon after that and we went off for a ride again...I rode Shasta this time. She did so awesome! I was impressed!!! I have the best horses ever!!
This evening we went to an old lady to sing for her. When we got back Sarah, MaryRose, Sharon and I all went for a ride...we just walked but it was so enjoyable :) I rode Daisy bareback again!!!
Wednesday Morning:
After we were done at the stables I went back to Sharon's and spent time with Daisy and Shasta. I let them wonder around the main ring for a bit then I free lunged both of them together :) They both enjoyed it ;) I groomed Shasta first after lunging them and she seemed to like it a lot. She was so calm and really enjoyed me brushing her mane!! When I was finished with her I let her go again and got Daisy and groomed her. She really enjoyed it as well!! Then I let them roam around the ring again while I did some things in the tack room! When I was all finished I hugged them both and put them away then headed off to work!! :)

So, have you ever wanted to make those kefta kabobs you see floating around the Mediterranean restaurants? Well, follow these easy steps and you too can have an awesome meat stuffing for those pita's you bought on sale! LOL
OK, what you will need for this is dish is the following:
1.5 lbs of beef stew meat
One green bell pepper
One yellow bell pepper
One orange bell pepper
One red bell pepper
1 medium size vidalia onion
4 to 5 cloves of garlic minced
Fresh rosemary
Fresh lemon thyme (regular thyme is good to)
Fresh oregano (you can use dried, I did)
Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Bamboo skewers
Greek yogurt
1/2 of a cucumber sliced very thin
1/4 of a red onion sliced thin
What you will need to start with is the meat so you can marinate it long enough for the fresh herbs to start penetrating it. Take the rosemary, thyme, oregano and garlic, mince till they are fine and place into a medium size bowl with about 2 to 3 tbls of the olive oil. Add the meat, sprinkle with about 1/2 tsp of salt, mix with your hands or a spoon and set aside to marry together. Ok, so you want to let the meat marinate for about half an hour, you can also make this a day ahead to really let the herbs and meat marry.
Grab a small bowl and add about 1/2 C to 1 C of the Greek yogurt. The amount really depends on how dense you want your sauce to be. I like mine to have an equal balance of veggie and yogurt so I put in about 1/2 to 3/4 of the yogurt. You want to start by peeling the cucumber, slice in half and seed it, then slice into thin moon shapes. Grab your 1/4 of the red onion and slice this really thin and add to the yogurt with the cucumbers. Peel and crush one clove of garlic and mine really fine, add to yogurt. Once you have added all the ingredients, sprinkle with a bit of salt to taste and blend well. Set this aside in the fridge till you are ready to serve.
You want to cut out the tops of the pepper, peel the onion and then roughly chop them into nice chunks to divide the meat on the skewers. I happened to have some left over mushrooms from lunch so I cut them into quarters and added them to my skewers and it came out quite tasty so feel free to add or substitute veggies as you want. One of the girls in my office used the bread cheese we can get at the farmers market downtown as a nice additive to her kabobs over the weekend and she said they were quite tasty. Thanks Melissa O. for the added possibility this weekend 🙂
So now it is time to put these bad boys together. It is rather easy, for the meat eater in your life just make some with all meat and they do not have to fight with the veggies 🙂 For the veggie lovers, you can make all veggie kabobs and just brush with some olive oil and sprinkle with some of the herbs. Now for those of us that love the balance of meat and veggie, you want to alternate with the veggies and the meat. I started with a nice chunk of the meat, a pepper, a couple of pieces of the onions and topped that off with a cube of the mushroom. Just keep alternating till you have about 4 pieces of each (thus the 4 colors of the peppers) and set aside. Once you have all the skewers completed, with exception to the all veggie ones, brush the kabobs with the olive oil and herb mixture that is left in the bowl.
Turn your oven all the way on and use your broiler pan if you have it, or you can cook these on a gas grill. I would place the kabobs as close to the flames and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes a side. The meat will dry out if you cook them too long. Once you start to see that the meat is starting to char or getting that nice dark color it is time to turn them. Once you have completely cooked, remove from the broiler or the grill and let rest.
This is a great dish for a BBQ or an outdoor gathering, will feed about 4 people so feel free to double the recipe for larger parties. Hell, triple it if you'd like so everyone can have second. You can serve this dish with warm pitas to make a sandwich or as a side along with some dill rice like most Mediterranean restaurants. If you would like my recipe for the dill rice, check back when I make this recipe using lamb and some other fresh ingredients!

A Weaver's Guide to Effective Procrastination
If you love to make gifts for others but struggle with actually finishing them, Linda Ligon has a (sort of) solution for you. In her article from the September/October 1995 issue of Handwoven, Linda muses on procrastination and how she makes it work for her. —Christina
I can't find the word "crastinate" in Webster's, but whatever its precise meaning, I'm in favor of it. You could call me a pro, in fact. I've crastinated actively and skillfully in almost everything I've ever undertaken: homework, housecleaning, weeding, writing my regular magazine columns, even spinning and weaving.
Regarding the last, though, I've found a way to turn my fault into a virtue. Or at least the illusion of a virtue. Or at least a way to keep people off my back. Here's how.
I love making things for friends and relatives. It's a special way of keeping people in mind, especially if I'm anxious about them. I remember long, long nights knitting a complicated cable sweater for my daughter when she was traveling in Eastern Europe and Africa, not available by phone for weeks on end. I'm sure those stitches kept her safe. I remember spending weekends weaving afghans and other useless items for my son when he went far away to school in a big city. He didn't get mugged (except once), and he graduated, so that's proof that my strategy worked. The reality is that, though people seem to enjoy receiving the things I make, the process probably means more to me than the object does to them.
I started applying my penchant for procrastination to my love of making gifts a few years ago. One of my coworkers was going to have a baby, and I wanted to spin and knit a little cap for it. By the time her shower came around, I had only got the spinning done. So I gave her the yarn with the understanding that she would return it to me and receive a finished cap soon. The "soon" ended up being when the baby was about three months old. The effect was that she got two gifts!
Another time, I spun several small batches of space-dyed silk top just for fun. As you may well know, there's not much you can do with randomly colored silk yarn that's not homely or at best surprising, so I gave each batch away with the promise that, if it were returned to me, it would find its way into a scarf for the donee. (That way I could put off having to figure out how to use it.) The most recent such magnanimous offering was made to a colleague in celebration of ten years of working together; eight months later, he's getting the scarf, with the silk as an accent yarn against a solid ground, and it looks okay. The gift that keeps giving (only not right away).
There are lots of ways to spin this process out even further. One year, I gave my son for his birthday a lovely black fleece, washed, carded, and dyed a dark charcoal green. For Christmas, he got a sweater's worth of yarn spun from the fleece. Next birthday, a sweater! Which didn't fit! By the time I had ripped out the bottom ribbing, lengthened it, put gussets under the arms, and gift-wrapped it yet again, it was time for another birthday. Four gifts from one project. It's the thought that counts.
I admit it's a racket, and I can't imagine why I'm sharing this personal nonsense with you. The fact is, I'm three baby caps and two silk scarves behind at this point and feeling a little panicked. I've never believed in buying things on layaway or running up my credit cards or going into debt. Yet here I am dealing in handmade gift futures.
An alternative, I suppose, would be to just give away the raw material and be done with it. I had a great-aunt who used to give me yardage for Christmas. It shifted the burden of procrastination to me; I don't think I ever did get around to making anything out of those odd lots, but every time I looked in my sewing basket, I remembered her. I won't say how.

Great Ideas And Tips About Home Improvementgarage door repair peoria az love planning and doing home improvement projects, while others may want to call a contractor, for even the smallest jobs. No matter how you feel about them, there are simple things that can be done to make a project easier. If you want to increase your chance of having your project go smoothly, then read the tips below.
Adding insulation to your walls, crawl spaces and attics isn't something that a lot of people think about when it comes to improving your home, but they should. Adding insulation is a great way to make your home cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter, and more sound proof.
The improvements that are easily noticeable are very important. Your potential buyers have no choice but to judge your house by what they see, and having things such as peeling paint and overgrown hedges may cause you to lose the sale. Although a number of important home improvements cannot be seen, if you want to sell your house you must focus on the ones that can be.
If garage doors kent wa continues to run from the toilet tank, then you should check the float ball. A float ball that is positioned too high will constantly cause water to enter the toilet's overflow pipe. A float ball that is positioned too low won't allow for proper operation. Don't let the ball touch the tank sides, and replace the ball if it is damaged.
When it comes to home improvement, consider purchasing quality products in stead of cheaper ones, and this will result in a much higher return on your investment. While you may save money initially by the cost of the parts, their durability may be much lesser than those of higher quality. An example of this would be buying a quality granite counter top instead of Formica.
If you don't want to refinish your old and weathered wooden floors, you can instead, give your home a cottage style boost. Buy some oil based paint and choose some affordable stencils. Use the stencils and paint to re-design your wooden floors. Add some cute designs in varying patterns, to give a full on-cottage look to your home.
Storage projects are an excellent way to get your feet wet in the home improvement process. If you have a broom closet in your home, consider making it into a small pantry. It is easy to attach small racks to the inside of the door and create a place for canned goods and spices. If you are able to add a deeper shelf, you can also store boxes or kitchen appliances that don't see much use.
When moved here comes to home improvement projects, you need to have the right tools. Having the right tool will guarantee that the job will be done properly and as easily as possible. Also, the right knowledge on how to use these types of tools will have a huge impact on how your project goes.
If low ceilings make you feel claustrophobic, try updating your windows in order to create the illusion of having more space. You will also be able to add color that can change with the seasons. The trick to making the ceiling appear higher is to locate the drapes, valance, and curtain rod closer to the ceiling.
If you are looking for home improvement projects that are guaranteed to raise the value of your home, you can't go wrong with a bathroom or kitchen remodel. Builders and real estate agents estimate that perfecting these rooms is likely to earn you more than 100 percent back on your investment when you put your home up for sale.
To update the appearance of your basement, opt for easily installed modular flooring - the durable carpeting is suitable for even the heaviest traffic, and will make the area more inviting by ensuring the floors are not ice-cold. Many companies offer affordable traction-backed carpeting squares in a range of colors and patterns. These can be laid directly over concrete with no advance preparation.
Choose area rugs instead of wall-to-wall carpeting. Area rugs can be moved and replaced easily, allow you to upgrade and adjust the style of your home anytime you like. In addition, area rugs can be cleaned quickly when they are stained; sometimes they can even be put in the washing machine.
Use high-quality paint for your home's exterior. By choosing a paint which is superior in quality, your paint job will last much longer. While this type of paint is costlier, it will offer great durability and will cover your house much easier and much faster. You will actually save money over time because you won't have to redo your work as often.
One energy-efficient improvement you can make to your home is to replace your windows. Older-style single-panel windows don't insulate the inside of your home nearly as well as the newer double-panel style. New windows will increase the aesthetic beauty of your home while saving you money each month in electricity bills.
After doing a few home improvement projects well, homeowners are often eager to try even more challenging projects. This is never a bad thing. Home owners have limitless opportunities when they do home improvement jobs with education and diligence.

Europcar is proud to offer two locations in the Sultanate of Oman, one at Muscat International Airport just outside the capital city and one at Salalah International Airport in the south. So whether you're off on a short break, on an extended family vacation or travelling for business, we are here to help you explore this fascinating land by addressing all your car hire needs. Useful services like easy online booking, express pick-up, optional satellite navigation, child seats and additional driver cover can help to make your driving experience between any of Oman's towns and cities a pleasure. And as always, Europcar's fleet of safe and reliable vehicles are standing by to allow you to select the hire car that best accommodates, however many passengers, however much luggage, or whatever size budget you have.
Oman is the easternmost country on the Arabian Peninsula and is one of the most diverse environments in the Middle East, as well as currently becoming one of the more popular visitor destinations in the world. Offering miles of soft and sandy beaches for sunbathing, swimming, surfing and snorkelling, with resort hotels popping up along the coast both east and west of Muscat. Several species of sea turtles lay their eggs on the beaches of Ras al Hadd, Ras Al Junayz and Masirah island, and both dolphins and whales visit the shores of Oman frequently. Inland from the beaches is the Sharqiyah Sands, a desert with dunes that can rise up to 600 feet and are best explored by camel or, for the more high-spirited, by jumping on a sand board.
The City of Muscat - Oman's capital city is made up of 1400 square miles and 1.28 million people and has been a major trading port since the first century AD. It is characterised by low-rise architecture with traditional features, making it feel far closer to its bedouin roots than another capital city in the Middle East. Muscat's Grand Mosque is home to the second largest hand-woven rug in the world, and can accommodate 20,000 worshippers, while the Sultan's Palace, which is closed to the public, still affords a rare glimpse at an absolute monarch's power. The Mutrah Corniche, the sea-front promenade, leads down to the Mutrah Souq with all its frenetic energy and loud haggling. Antique, textile, hardware and gold shops can all be found, and among them restaurants and coffee shops.
The City of Salalah - Down in the south of Oman, Salalah offers a totally different feel to the capital with a subtropical climate that allows the growing of bananas, coconuts and papayas. Of course, the city has its own souq, next to the Sultan's palace and filled with the scent of frankincense. And small wonder, since Salalah was the main port of entry for the exotic spice from India for thousands of years. The Museum of Frankincense Land is an astonishing set of ruins that exhibit the history of the trade route.

Here's the video of the Crazy Turtle! I doubt any of you will think it's as funny as I thought it was, but there's not doubt that you'll still enjoy it! After all, it's a singing turtle!
Here's another video of Lucky Lou and Crazy Turtle! She didn't like him too much! I think it scared her more than anything!
Oh, and so much for me going to bed early. I have tried a few times already to go to sleep and it's not working. I guess that's what happens when you take several naps throughout the day!

Magnificent wines of Tawse Winery
Tawse Winery – Few Canadian wineries have the potential of our wine industry like Tawse winery. I first visited the winery last summer and was completely blown away by the high quality of the wines.
Founded by Moray Tawse in 2001, they claim to have " old world inspiration, new world perfection". Located in Niagara, this family enterprise owns more than 200 acres in vines in the Vineland/Beamsville area.They have a particular attention on crafting Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines. They produce as well Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Syrah and Gamay.
Recently, I relived an echo of my past visit when Paul Pender, head winemaker at Tawse, came to Montreal to present a few of the winery wines. Under his leadership, Tawse achieved Ecocert organic and Demeter biodynamic certification and won several times the Canadian Winery of the year title in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2016. Furthermore, He earned the title of Winemaker of the Year at the Ontario Wine Awards in 2011.His philosophy at Tawse is " hands off as possible, start in the vineyard and opt to be biological and biodynamic to give the best expression of terroir. All manual picking". To hear these words was very encouraging as many wineries today choose the industrial path and produce wines with no soul.
The tasting took place at the trendy M.Mme wine bar in Montreal. The invitation was a courtesy of their joint importers: Vins Fins L' Agence and Delaney Vins & Spiritueux. For more information on these wines, you may contact Marguerite Aghaby or Isaac Delaney at email@example.com
Wines at the tasting:
Paul started us with Spark, a Riesling based sparkling wine. Tawse grows 40 acres of the german variety. Made in the traditional method with 12 months on the lees, it has beautiful aromas of pear tart and key lime pie filling. These aromas are complemented by flavours of pineapple and lemon. Fresh and tasty, it would be the perfect wine to have with oysters.
We continued with a special cuvé of Red Stone Bistro Chardonnay 2013 ( $25.45, 12x750ml) The grapes from this wine come from the domaine (50%), and the remainder from other local Niagara vinegrowers.Redstone is the latest venture by Moray Tawse. Named after its red clay soil and large stones, the 38-acre Lincoln Lakeshore property was purchased in 2009 and apparently has an amazing hospitality centre and restaurant.
I enjoyed this Chardonnay very much and it would be perfect for a mild winter afternoon lunch. It has lovely aromas of ripe nectarines with hints of ambergris, jazmin and cloves complemented with a pleasant hint of almond cream.It is well balanced with an alluring fleshy texture and lingering finale. It should be perfect with brown butter seared scallops and polenta.
Moving on Paul presented the Chardonnay 2013 VQA Niagara Peninsula ( SAQ # 11039736, $19.95). From selected Niagara vineyards, this is a beautiful crafted wine with aromas of ripe white nectarines and light toasty wood nuances. It is elegant with a good acidity and a pretty buttery texture. Well done, Paul. I would definitely have this wine with stuffed mushrooms and cheese chicken breast in a light cream sauce.
The red wines were a show stopper as well. The Gamay Noir 2015 Redfoot Vineyard VQA Lincoln Lakeshore ( $35.95, 6x750ml) was just delicious with sexy aromas of ripe strawberries, black cherries , white pepper and delicate herbal nuances. It is finely woven in the palate with supple tannins and a lingering finale. While it is delightful to drink now, it could be kept for another 5 years. This would be a lovely wine to have with pasta alla matriciana.
Although I enjoyed very much the Gamay, my favorite was the Tawse Laundry Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2013 ( SAQ # 12211294, $33.50). The nose was very intriguing displaying roasted red bell pepper, dry parsley with black cherry fruit. On the palate, it was ripe, showing off licorice flavors with a quite particular taste of pebbles, wet earth and mud. I will have this wine anytime with flank steak fajitas. Just perfect!!

Visitor: B
Message: I was nine. I was experiencing much anxiety. I was afraid to go to sleep. I thought if I went to sleep I would swallow my tongue. If I closed my eyes I saw inside my head. It was a very big place. Dark. There was a door with light very far away. I could hear my thoughts. My thoughts were yelling very loud. The sound was deafening. But there were no words. There were no coherent sounds. Even the noise was alien. I could not sleep. I did not know what was going on. The ringing in my ears grew to a fever pitch. I did not know what to do. I called out. My dad came. I told him. He told me not to worry. That night I do not know what happened. I dreamed I was floating. Almost spinning around. Colored dots surrounded me. I was in a white room. Still floating. Spinning faster. Stop. Floating.
The next day was okay. No memories. That next night I noticed something. There were two perfectly oval rash marks on my body. I called out to my dad. He came. I showed him the first rash mark. It was on my belt line at about the point were one would get a hernia. In my adulthood I surmised it is where my testicular tube exits my abdominal wall - where one gets a hernia and oriented horizontally. My dad was confused. Reassuring. He told me not to worry. But, I showed him the other rash mark. Also perfectly oval about one inch long and one-half inch high on my groin adjacent to my pubic area oriented diagonaly. Hmmmm. My dad was perplexed. Again I told him I was afraid I was going to swallow my tongue. He told me not to worry. But then I showed him my swollen testicle. Shit. That thing is as big as a golf ball. That aint right for a nine year old. It's time to go to the hospital. I drank som radio-active kool-aid the doctor gave me. He too a live x-ray image. The circulation was fine. No diognosis. There was nothing th doctor could do. He blamed it on puberty and provided no explanation for the rashes. My dad told me that sometime when you become a man your hormones kind of go crazy. Maybe that's all it is. But rest assured, according to the doctor, it was not torche which is a condition where a testicle gets spun around and the circulation gets cut off and if not treated within 24 hours it causes the testicle to die. Damn! We were glad it was not that.
The next morning my dad was concerned but the rashes were gone without a blemish to be found. My testicle was normal size but it kind of hurt. I took it easy that day. Shortly thereafter I moved my bedroom upstairs. The sensation of swallowing my tongue subsided but the ringing in my ears continued and became audibly louder to where I felt others could hear it. I was still anxious. A week passed. Or maybe more. Then one Saturday I sat in the chair by the window when a call came. It was my teacher. He asked if I was okay. My mom said yes. But he said I had missed a week of school. My mom disagreed. I went to school every day. But apparently I had been absent for a week without memory of where I had been. I could not explain. I had no memory of that week during the days which I was not at school. I did not know where I had been or what I had done. The anxiety climaxed again almost immediately. I tried not to think about it. What was goin on. The Monday I kicked my lunch all the way to school. The neighbor lady scolded me. She did not like seeing that. I really like climbing her tree. Once I climbed it all the way to the top. She was old. My mom me go to school that day. The anxiety continued and over time it subsided.
Four years later I was sleeping lout under the stars in Wenatchee Washington at my grandparents hours in the summer during the Perseid meteor shower showing in a clear summer night sky. I was midnight. Still 80 degrees. Didn't need a sleeping bag. Just a blanket on the ground. The meteors were streaking across the sky. Zipping. All from and in the same direction. Glowing bursts of light streaking across the sky and fading fast. A saw a satellite that night. Slow, looking like a star, but slower than an airplane, constant, one light and unblinking. From horizon to horizon in the same direction and in the same intensity of light followed. And then I saw it. From the opposite direction of everything a star streaked across the sky. Fast. In a flash. And it stopped. Directly over me. For a moment it hovered. It looked like it was a million miles away. A bright and shinning star looking down on me. And then it zipped away. At a 90 degree angle across the sky to the southern horizon. Zig-zagging in short zigs and zags. Fast. Like a pinball. Zig-zagging away in a straight trajectory past the southern horizon away from the west where it came. I felt relieved. That night I slept. I do not remember waking but I slept good under the stars. Sometimes my ears still ring. But I don't worry.
I don't think they want to hurt us. I'm just not sure what they are up to. Why are they so interested in us. Maybe we are an endangered species like the tigers. Like we are so interested in the gorillas. Maybe our mountain is disappearing. Maybe we don't know what is on the horizon like the monkeys don't know about the coming wave of destruction coming upon them. Maybe that is why they are collecting our sperm and eggs and later checking up on us to see if we are okay. I am 44 now. Sometimes, my ears still ring. Sometimes I can still see that star stopping and zig-zagging like it was yesterday. But I don't worry. If I don't think they want to hurt us.

!No Spoilers!In almost every aspect this film is superb, and that is to be expected when it was written, produced, designed, scored and filmed by the same crew that brought us The Lord of the Rings.Martin Freeman presents an excellent Bilbo - funny, befuddled and believable, while Ian McKellen's Gandalf is as enjoyable as ever.The adaptation is very interesting, both in terms of the mixture of The Hobbit with materials from the LOTR appendices, and also in that the way the story unfolds was made to be parallel to that of The Fellowship of the Ring. From this installment alone off of the new trilogy, it seems that Jackson does not overkill the film with quotes (visual and otherwise) but rather uses these to create a sense of parallel-ness and familiarity with its predecessors. There are many conceptual equivalences, but these serve the plot for the most part.Howard Shore introduces some new themes, while reprising many old ones. On the whole his soundtrack does the job, but I suppose he'll have more freedom to develop new themes over the next two films. One thing that stood out is the use of the Evil theme (for lack of a better name), the one we heard for the first time in the beginning of FOTR when Bilbo has a hard time letting go of the ring. I find the use of this theme to be exaggerated, but then - that might simply imply something that is yet to be revealed in the next installments.Regarding HFR/24fps/3D -I have seem the film twice. The first time was HFR/3D. 3D isn't an issue at all, and that is great. Jackson utilizes the 3rd dimension to only add a little depth to the field, and does not make a theme park ride out of the entire film. HFR, on the other hand, is a weird experience and not entirely a good one. It might just be that we're used to the motion blur of traditional 24fps, but one can't help but be reminded of BBC documentaries and the likes. For the epic scenes - battles, action of sorts and fast movements, as well as slow motion shots - it does great service and makes them even more enjoyable than they would otherwise be. For "smaller scenes" - dialogues and the such - it just feels weird and throws you out of the story, which is the worst thing for a film, moreso a fantasy. It is not subtle at all and noticeable even from the initial Warner Brothers logo.But then I went to see it again today, this time in 24fps. The experience was perfect in that there was no distraction and the movie was still great, but I can't help but admit that 48fps/HFR simply looks BETTER, especially for the epic scenes.Conclusion - if I could do it over again I'd go see it in 24fps for the first time and that's what I'd recommend. If you find that you like it as much as I do then go see it again in HFR and witness the full glory of some of the sequences (and the weirdness of others).

Here's a collage of pictures I took this past fall. This bridge reminds me of my grandmother. The reason being, this is the bridge we drove over to visit her house. We lived about an hour away from her, growing up. And would have to drive over this bridge to get to her house.
Now I actually live a lot closer to where this bridge is. And usually am driving over it, not going under it. But last fall after a lot of rain, I wanted to go down to look at the river. We walked down to see how fast the river was flowing. And I took these shots of the bridge.

Predictors of main concept production (Rivera et al., 2017)
2017-12-22T19:35:39Z (GMT) by

Purpose: A conceptual framework of bilingual aphasia assessment requires an understanding of the variables that influence discourse in bilingual speakers. This study aimed to determine predictors of main concept (MC) production, a measure of discourse completeness, as well as the effect of language dominance on MCs.

Method: The Nicholas and Brookshire (1993) picture stimuli were used to elicit English and Spanish discourse in 83 young bilinguals. Participant-reported variables (e.g., proficiency self-ratings) and measured language variables (e.g., correct information units [CIUs] in discourse) were entered into regressions to determine potential MC predictors. A repeated-measures analysis of variance evaluated MCs within and across dominance groups categorized by speaking self-ratings.

Results: Measured language variables (number of CIUs, naming accuracy) were most predictive of MCs. The participant-reported variable most associated with MC production was self-rating of speaking proficiency. Spanish- and English-dominant groups produced more MCs in their dominant language; the balanced group produced more English MCs. Between-groups differences were observed.

Conclusions: Two measures related to lexical retrieval (CIUs and naming) were most predictive of MC production across languages. Participant ratings of speaking proficiency were also highly correlated to MCs. They also accurately reflected dominance, though balanced bilinguals verestimated their Spanish abilities.
