There are hundreds of face creams on the market, each of them being specially designed for the needs of each skin type and for various purposes as well, such as to improve the look of wrinkles or to provide sun protection, while others are just designed to moisturize. Before you invest in an expensive product, read on the following tips to help you find the best product for your face skin.
– Choosing the best product for your face depends on knowing your skin type and the individual needs of your skin. If you have sensitive skin, most face cream brands offer hypoallergenic formulas that are specially designed for sensitive skin. If you have breakouts or acne-prone skin, you will want to purchase a face cream that is advertised as non-comedogenic, which means that its ingredients will not clog pores. If you have aging skin, there are many different types of anti-aging and anti-wrinkle creams on the market. A firming cream or a tinted face cream might be a good option as well.
– You may also choose a face cream for nighttime. Nighttime face creams are generally thicker and heavier than day creams, because they are designed to provide deep moisture overnight. These will typically feel greasier than a day cream as well.
– When shopping for a face cream, make sure you look for natural products (they are safe and gentle on your skin) and that present no threat to you. Your face cream should contain plant based or vegetable oils and extracts, as they are the most readily absorbable by your skin. Because of the properties that make up these kinds of oils you get maximum penetration from them. This allows them to benefit even the innermost layers of your skin. A face cream might also contain anti-irritants and antioxidants. They will work in order to repair the damage that these free radicals have done over the years, and bring your skin back to health. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA) are common ingredients in moisturizers for those prone to acne.
– Hazardous constituents that the best moisturizing face cream should not comprise, such as parabens (studies have shown that they're carcinogenic), Mineral oil and fragrances (They cause allergic reactions).

An individual living in the U.S. without legal permission will soon have the ability to attend Ohio's public colleges for an in-state tuition price, according to a recent Ohio Board of Regents decision.
John Carey, Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents announced late July the Board will move to supply higher education at a much reduced cost of in-state tuition as opposed to international or out-of-state tuition. The decision came from consulting with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
Those who would qualify are enrolled in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, which was put into place by the Obama administration in June 2012. The program includes children who came to the United States before turning 16, and grants them a two year legal status which can be renewed.
"These individuals would be eligible for in-state tuition if all other all residency conditions under Ohio law are met," Carey said in a public letter to DREAM Activist Ohio, an advocacy group pushing for the lower tuition rate.
However, schools will make the final determination if the students meet the residency requirements, according to the Acting Communications Director for the Board of Regents, Jeff Robinson.
"Each student will have to go to the university and renew their residency status," he said.
Not all Ohio lawmakers agree on the Board of Regents decision, however. Representative Matt Lynch (R-Bainbridge Township) is sponsoring a house bill (H.B. No. 254) that would "prohibit state institutions of higher education from providing in-state residency status to undocumented aliens," according to the bill language.
"The recent decision by the Board of Regents will cost Ohio taxpayers tens of millions of dollars," Lynch said in a statement released and provided in an email to The Lantern.
There are currently approximately 600,000 higher education students enrolled in the Ohio University System, according to the Board of Regents. Only about 2,900 youths have been accepted as part of the DACA in Ohio as of June, and about 553,000 nationally. Not all of the 2,900 are college aged, but it still presents a potentially overwhelming cost.
The average in-state tuition for a four year college in Ohio in 2012-2013 is about $9,200. However, international or out-of-state costs are significantly higher.
At Ohio State the approximate cost for in-state tuition is $10,010, not including room and board or other fees. For international students, which these students would most likely fall under, is $26,726, and with room and board along with other costs, is estimated by OSU to be more than $40,000. For tuition only, this saves these students who were living in the U.S. without legal permission about $16,700, with puts the financial strain on Ohio taxpayers supporting public universities as well as other students.
Ryan Dechellis, an out-of-state second-year in honors economics and financial mathematics said he is "infuriated."
"The state allowing an illegal immigrant into a public university is frustrating enough to begin with," he said. "On top of that, allowing them to qualify for in-state tuition when they are not technically an Ohio citizen, blows my mind."
However, not all OSU students are opposed to the idea.
Fourth-year in communication and out-of-state student Ethan Finkelstein, said that since "most illegal immigrants are not as financially secure as the average American citizen, it provides a more practical opportunity for potentially underprivileged citizens to receive higher education."
In addition, while only 2,900 students have been accepted in DACA, this could quickly change as there are an estimated 300,000 unauthorized immigrants in Ohio as of 2010, up from 212,000 in 2000, according to the Pew Research Hispanic Trends Project launched in February 2011.
Trends are similar nationally, with an estimated 11.2 million as of 2010, up from 8.4 million in 2000.
With 14 public universities with 24 regional branch campuses, 23 community colleges, and 120 adult workforce education and training centers in the Ohio University System, who will be left to pick up the tab?
Dave Dziak is an employee of the Ohio House of Representatives Republican Caucus.

Like a square peg in a round hole, she felt alienated from her family.
Determined to turn things around, she crossed path with one who soothed her aching heart.
Will he be able to mend her shredded world?
It was the end of the first semester examination. Funmike wished she could stay back in her off campus hostel, a storey building adjacent to the school gate, divided into ten self-contain apartments.
Her first experience living on campus left a bitter taste in her mouth. She cherished the privacy the off campus hostel offered.
She wheeled the bags towards the gate. The taxi driver opened the boot of the vehicle and hurled the heavy bags in.
If she had a car of her own, things would have been easier. Buses and bikes would be a thing of the past. Her twenty-four year old elder sister who was serving in a Media house in Lagos had a red Toyota Camry. Her twenty year old younger sister got a green Toyota Camry on her birthday.
How her parents completely forgot that she also needed a car was lost to her. At times, it was as if she was invincible.
"I am ready," the driver beckoned to her.
She got into the back seat of the car and sighed heavily. She wasn't looking forward to going home.
She woke up feeling terribly farmished. She got out of bed and dragged her drowsy self to the kitchen.
She made oats, buttered toast and a big mug of beverage. While she ate at the dining, her younger sister, Folake, strolled into the sitting room, in a pink sleeveless, a little above the knee satin night gown. Her bosom and curvy hips swirled from side to side with each movement.
Her elder sister, Foluke, followed behind her, taller, darker and curvier, in a see-through white sleeveless very short night gown.
Most times, she wondered why she wasn't physically endowed like her sisters. They had the body of a goddess and could literally turn the head of a statue with their angelic beauty.
She was very slim and her stature was almost straight. No curves. Deathly flat bosom and backside. She was a little bit pretty and fair skinned. Foluke was dark skinned. Folake was brown skinned. She looked nothing like them. Were they even related?
They both sat opposite her, staring at her food.
She eyed them. She wasn't ready to part with any piece of her food. The cook resumed work at eight. Breakfast would be ready on or before nine. She bit the crispy toast, meeting their hungry gazes.
When they were younger, they teased her with a nickname. They called her 'i-with-a-dot', emphasizing her shapeless physique. She used to hate how she looked. Her father made matters worse when he had her tested, a DNA test! He came to a conclusion that she must have been switched at birth. Of course the result was positive. She was his daughter.
They later discovered that she took after her father's aunt. She was the only fair skinned person in the family and was also skinny.
Conciously and unconciously, they made her feel unwanted and dotted on her sisters, spoiling them rotten. There were days she wished she had been born into another home.
She wished she could be bigger. Maybe if she tried some recipies online, she might add weight. She smiled. 'Operation I gats to be big' activated.
Funmike mixed the banana, pawpaw, milk, strawberry, and yoghurt in the blender. She covered it and turned the switch. The noisy sound irritated her ears. She glanced at her phone again. She had followed the instructions on the site. She hoped to add weight as soon as she made the drink a daily rountine. Six glasses a day and she was good to go.
She had tried out other things she found online. Nothing worked. Some of the things she cooked and ate made her to feel nauseous, ruining her appetite for days. There were several recipes and solutions for people trying to lose weight, but, not as much for weight gain.
She was on the verge of giving up. She had called the numbers of the Nutritionists she found on google, but their advice did her no good. If she could only look like her sisters, maybe her parents would also give her their undivided attention.
She switched it off and poured some of the blended mixture into a glass cup. She took a sip. The unfamiliar taste made her grimaced.
She stepped on the white plastic machine, bare-footed, then tilted her head downward, read the scale and frowned. Nothing had changed, she was still 41kg! She was definitely done with all the concortions she googled about.
She couldn't believe that after experimenting with different grades of junk food, it didn't reflect on her body weight. Maybe she was cursed. The initial bitterness she used to feel against her stature began to slip into her mind.
She closed her light brown eyes, blocking the depressing thoughts and replacing them with happy ones.
"I am fearfully and wonderfully made," came the shaky whisper. She swallowed. Her throat felt dry. "I am beautiful beyond description," a tear rolled down her fair smooth face. "God loves me the way I am, I love myself. Nothing else matters," she exhaled and opened her eyes, feeling better.
A sense of peace enveloped her. It didn't matter what she weighed. She was going to have a blast on planet earth. Her pink lips spread in a smile.
She dragged her body into the apartment, kicked the door close with her boot, threw her white square shaped Gucci bag on the bed and settled on the two settee. She hung her head on the arm of the leather chair and crossed her legs on the other end.
It was the beginning of the second semester and lectures had begun promptly. Most days, she returned to the hostel deathly tired and hungry enough to eat a whole cow. There were times she wished she was back home. The cook would have ensured that she ate at least four times in a day.
She reached out for her iphone and dialed the number of the sales rep of the Sharwama oulet down the street. One big piece with a pack of fruit juice would suffice for dinner.
"Hi, evening, please send me a jumbo size Sharwama, you know the way I like it."
"Excuse me…"
"Please hurry, Queen Elizabeth Hostel, flat 10."
"Wrong number."
She blinked. Was he playing a prank on her? She wasn't in the mood.
"I am Dantenimu."
"I am Dantenimu Danjuma. Who am I speaking with?"
She cut the call and stared at the phone. Did she dial the wrong number? She prided herself in the ability to retain people's numbers. It was hard to believe that she called someone else.
The phone began to ring. It was an unknown number. She had a feeling that it was the same person. Why was he calling her back? She bit at her lower lip. Should she ignore the call? Curiousity decided for her.
"Hi, it's Dantenimu, you can call me Dante. What's the name?"
She raised an eyebrow, "Not necessary."
"Really? You called me."
"It was a miss-dial."
"Thought as much. Were you refering to Sharwama?"
"When you called, jumbo size… Just the way I like it," he recited her words.
"Oh… Yes, sharwama," she felt a pang and placed a hand on her tummy.
"Junk food."
"I don't have a choice."
"Everybody do."
She lifted her body and put down her legs, another pang, "Not when you are mighty hungry."
He started to laugh.
"I like junk food too."
"Hmm…" walking down to the outlet seemed like an impossible task.
"But I prefer the likes of pounded yam or semolina with melon soup garnished with bitter leaves and celebrated with catfish or goat meat."
Her mouth watered, "You are not helping."
"Oh sorry you are hungry."
"You should call the Sharwama guy, Austin, right?"
"What's the name?"
"Nice talking to you."
"Hmm…" another pang, she rubbed her tummy.
"Are you on Facebook?"
"Who isn't?"
"You will be surprised."
"Funmike Williams."
"Okay. I will send you a request asap."
"Talk to you later."
"Bon appetite."
"Do you speak French?"
"Me neither."
"Yes bye. Lovely voice."
"You have a lovely voice."
She stared at the phone.
"One of the reasons why I called back."
"Okay bye."
"Bye," she heard the dead tone indicating the end of the call.
Dantenimu Danjuma. Her lips curved in an inqusitive smile.
She walked towards the school gate, cream and brown M & G hand bag strapped to her shoulder. Straight long legs wrapped in a flowery brown high-waist skirt that swept the dusty road, complimented with an off-shoulder fitted cream blouse. Her braids bounced around her fair face, curled at the tips, giving her a look that turned heads.She felt the vibration of one of her phones in the bag. She slowed her stride and dipped her hand into the bag in search. She brought out the iphone and an excited smile lit her face when she noticed the caller's name.
"Hi, how are you doing?"
"Why is there no pictures of you on your Facebook profile, Twitter handle and your whatsapp is also bare?"
The smile thinned out.
"What's your excuse?"
She cleared her throat, eyes focused on the oncoming traffic.
"Who are you hiding from"
"No one."
"Convince me."
She crossed the road and walked towards Queen Elizabeth Hostel.
"It's complicated."
"I am all ears."
She waved at the security guard and made her way into the one storey building.
"Amongst my siblings and parents, I am the shortest, slimmest, and the fairest."
"What's your statistic?"
"I am five feet seven inches…"
"That's not short!"
"My father is five nine, my mum is five eight, my elder sister is five nine and my younger sister is five eight."
"I weigh 41kg and I am almost straight. My siblings call me i-with-a-dot."
"Wow! That's cruel."
"Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, everybody is bigger."
"What's your statistic?"
She unlocked the door to the apartment and strode in, "28'24'30."
"There are a lot of women in the world who are thin."
"In Asia for instance."
She wasn't convinced.
"I am sending pictures of slim ladies to your other line."
She settled on the chair and fished for her Blackberry Passport in the bag.
"Send me one of your pictures."
"Hmm…" her heart missed a beat.
"You have seen my own pictures. It is fair that I see yours too."
She viewed the pictures he sent. It was hard to believe that there were several other women who were as thin as she was. Some were unbelievably thinner. She glanced at herself and back at the pictures.
"I am still here."
"Just got your pictures."
She trembled with anticipation.
"My new friend is a pretty chick."
She sighed with relief.
"I encourage you to splash your pictures online."
"You were right, you don't look like anyone in your family. It's cool to be different."
She raised an eyebrow.
"Who did you take after?"
"My dad's great aunt."
"Yep," she leaned against the chair, "I think if I become fatter my parents will dot on me too."
She heard him sigh. "It's their duty to give you their undivided attention regardless."
"After twenty two years, I still feel like a stranger in my own house."
"I don't know what to say," the pain in his voice soothed her aching heart.
"They act like I don't even exist," a tear drop slided down her face.

Princess Charlotte and Prince George will play a starring role in the royal wedding - as a bridesmaid and a pageboy.
Kensington Palace announced that Prince Harry's niece and nephew would be among Meghan Markle's young helpers at the nuptials in Windsor this weekend.
Charlotte, three, and four-year-old George are already skilled in the role, having performed the duty for the Duchess of Cambridge's sister, Pippa Matthews, last year.
The palace announced that Ms Markle would have six bridesmaids and four pageboys.
The bridesmaids include Harry's goddaughters, Zalie Warren, two, and three-year-old Florence van Cutsem, Ms Markle's goddaughters, sisters Remi and Rylan Litt, aged six and seven respectively, and four-year-old Ivy Mulroney.
The other pageboys are Harry's godson, Jasper Dyer, aged six, and seven-year-old twin brothers Brian and John Mulroney.

Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis plans to visit Turkey amid a spying row with Ankara.
The visit has been under discussion for some time, a foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Saturday, confirming reports in several German-language newspapers. No date has yet been announced.
She said plans for the visit were not linked to allegations that Turkish diplomats tried to kidnap an anti-Erdogan Swiss-Turkish businessman in 2016. But some parliamentarians are pushing for the spying row to be high on the foreign minister's agenda for the visit, reports Swiss public television RTS.
State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Pascale Baeriswyl on Friday condemned the kidnap attempt on Swiss soil. She said the Foreign Affairs Ministry implicitly gave its approval to an investigation, taking into consideration that those involved could not claim diplomatic immunity.
+Read more about the attempted kidnap
The Turkish foreign ministry has denied the accusation that employees at its embassy in Bern planned to kidnap the businessman in Switzerland and take him abroad.
Since the July 2016 coup attempt in Turkey, Bern has intervened several times with Ankara about suspected spying activities, saying that spying activities against the Turkish diaspora in Switzerland are unacceptable.
Another issue on the agenda for the foreign minister's visit is likely to be the Turkish military offensive in Syria, RTS reports.

This 14th version of the Corel Draw Graphics Suite X4 is the perfect solution for those who want to play and edit graphics but find the Adobe Photoshop interface too complicated. I don't want to badmouth Photo shop at all but it is a professional package that comes with a price tag and a manual of about 1000 pages. An investment of time and money that is just not necessary for an average user.
The Corel Package as it is now has more then enough functionality to do almost anything you can think of. Its interface is highly accessible, intuative and interactive for everyone. If you can use a word processor you can use this graphics suite.
Perhaps some people think of it as a negative but I like the high integration the package has with online services. Through ConceptShare users can work in an online workspace, which can be shared with other users. Then there is the WhatTheFont service that can online recognize fonts and letter types.
There is no alternative for Flash like web development. I think Corel made a mistake here because if this is one of your interests the package is not for you. It does limit the overall usability of the package, and that is a pity.
The functionality of Photo Paint, the second application in the suite is greatly enhanced and supports over 300 modern digital camera's Its now easier than ever to work, play and edit with scanned documents as well. The package provides a good support for working with color histogram distributions, and is highly effective without all the hassle of working with professional packages.
Corel is not a market leader and can't afford to limit its potential user base by using proprietary file systems or limit the import and export possibilities to other file types. This is a big pro Corel can even function as a great translator between programs using all sorts of file extensions.
Further the possibilities for Color control are increased and support for Adobe CMM is introduced.
To wrap it up, Corel has come up with a user friendly graphics suite for those who use these kind of programs to the level of semi-professional use. Because of the support of professional file formats it is a good tool to design and develop flyers, posters or brochures for personal or use in connection associations. On the minus site there is the lack of support for flash or flash like applications.
The Corel Draw Graphics Suite X4 is a program easily lives up to demands of the semi-professional jobs it was designed for.

No. 104 The Havana Cocktail Bar
Visited on 13/10/11. This place used to be a gay nightclub called 'Connections' and is situated below street level in an ancient cellar with a fantastic barrel vaulted brick ceiling. Maybe it's a sign of age when you find the architecture of a bar more interesting than the other 'attractions' on offer, although there was certainly plenty of ahem, 'talent' present as well ! These days 'the Havana' is a formula cocktail bar serving, well, cocktails. Fortunately though, they also sell beer – but only in bottles. We'd done the cocktail thing at the last place, so ordered up a round of 'Pacifico', which to be honest, I'd never heard of. The barman informed us that it was the best beer they sold though – and it was also the cheapest (three English pounds per single bottle and it was the friggin' cheapest !) It's Mexican. It was alright. Fruit can be stuffed into the bottle neck to hide the lack of taste if required. To be honest, the atmosphere in here is alright as well. Unlike many similar places, you don't get your brain mashed by pounding dance music and can actually have a conversation. Probably changes at the weekend like.

If I've learned anything these past few months, it is that, for some people, facts simply do not matter. They will believe what they want to believe, despite the mounds of evidence that prove the contrary. In fact, research has even shown that presenting a person with facts that disprove their beliefs, may actually just solidify those misconceptions. This is referred to as "the backfire effect." This explains some of the Facebook threads I've been seeing!
This phenomenon is not limited to politics. Some people believe there is a link between vaccines and autism, despite the countless studies and scientific reviews debunking this myth. Some people question the validity of NASA's moon landing. Never happened. Just a publicity stunt. There are even people who claim that the government is hiding the cure for cancer, while others say the government created it all together. Neither science nor first hand accounts, complete with photos, have seemed to alter their views on the matter.
If you or someone you love, has ADHD, then you are well aware of the naysayers whom argue that it is a "made up disease," a product of Big Pharma, "an excuse for laziness." ?or my favorite, ?the result of "bad parenting." How lovely for these people to have the luxury of being able to think this way. Clearly they are not the parent of a child with ADHD. If they were, they would know all too well, just how very real it is, pretty much every minute of every day. In the mornings when they are directing the mayhem, rushing to get out the door on time, searching for a missing shoe, coat, science project, etc., while simultaneously setting timers and delegating which task to do next. In the evenings, when they are trying to remain strong through the homework battles and bedtime wars. During the day, for the phone calls from teachers, the IEP meetings, and the "I forgot my lunch" drop offs. In their attempts to console a heartbroken little girl who, once again, has been left off the birthday invite list of a classmate, or as they wipe the tears of a little boy who can't explain why he just "can't be good in school."
Our instinct tells us to prove the ?non-believers wrong. (or to punch them in the nose) My suggestion: Do neither. When you find yourself in a conversation with a negative person, someone who scoffs at the notion of ADHD and seems to have an emotionally charged opinion about it; just disengage. Its not worth it. Save your energy for something more important, because chances are, you won't get far, and you may very well, end up getting very upset, or punching someone in the nose.
Does this mean we shouldn't inform others about ADHD? Of course not. We need to continue to raise awareness for ADHD. We need to make sure our teachers, psychologists, and neurologists, have the most up-to-date information, and proper training for their role as advocates. We need to ?learn how to provide the most beneficial environments in which these children can thrive. I am only implying that it may serve us best to avoid arguing with fools.
Let's say you were at work when you developed a sudden and severe headache. The worst you've ever experienced. You feel that you may need to seek medical assistance. On your way out the door, a colleague interjects to tell you that she doesn't believe in headaches. Frankly, she's pretty sure that you are just trying to get out of work. Your "headache" is just an excuse for laziness.
Would you feel the need to "prove" your headache to her? Would you pull up the literature and scientific data supporting the existence of headaches? Probably not. If anything you'd think to yourself, "wow, this lady is a few screws short of a hardware store," and you'd carry on in trying to ?find some relief for your throbbing skull. But, let's just say you did decide to continue your discussion with your skeptical co-worker; would changing her mind, change the fact that you were in pain? I'm pretty sure it would not.
Sometimes it is just better to accept that those who have closed minds may simply be incapable of understanding and appreciating those whose minds are complex and beautiful. It sounds to me like they are the ones with the "deficit."

Chris and I very often go on a road trip. Mainly around Europe, with our most recent ones being Monaco ( you can read about it here) & South of France. We also have an upcoming trip to Poland in August.
Apart from driving on the other side of the road you need to take into consideration different laws across Europe and all the essential equipment you need to buy before your journey. Below you will find my checklist we use rigorously every time we travel abroad in our car
Planning your Road trip
With today's technology, this is pretty easy. All you need to do is type into Google your current location and your destination point and everything will update itself. Google maps will calculate the best route for you, including estimated journey time. All you need to do is to plan for your break stops and potentially overnight stay- depending on how far you travelling. Again, you can add all your stop points into your journey planner on Google maps.
My other favourite app to use is Waze. Waze, give you live updates on the traffic situation and best routes to take to avoid being stuck for hours. You can also set up your arrival time and the application will calculate exactly what time you need to leave based on the current traffic situation. It will also send you a notification if you need to leave earlier than originally planned- so clever!
Remember to take into consideration any toll roads and the cost of them. Some can be very pricy. For example drive from Dover to Monaco cost us over £100.00!!! I almost had a heart attack every time I had to pay. Alternatively, plan your journey to avoid paid roads.
Book your crossing to the other side
You have only 2 options really. Eurotunnel or Ferry. We find that ferry is normally cheaper and more reliable when it comes to timekeeping. Especially during summer. When you travelling by ferry you can spend the time shopping in duty-free shops, grab something to eat or have a quick power nap. The disadvantage is that they take a little longer to cross the sea. Also if you travel with your pet, you need to leave him in the car by himself which I think is very unfair as they don't know what is going on.
Eurotunnel is definitely more convenient. Firstly, the time of the crossing is half compared to the ferry. You can also stay in your car with your pet. The tickets are normally more expensive to ferry crossing, plus I don't think I have ever been on a Eurotunnel that left on time.
Check your Road trip kit
This is probably one of the most important points. The fact you come from a different country doesn't give you the excuse to not follow the law in the country you are in, even if you only driving through it.
Check the most common road laws of the country's you are going to visit so you have a rough guide on what to buy such as lights deflectors, warning triangle, high-vis jackets or alcohol breathalyser. You will also need to check what is required in your first aid box. Make sure all of those are easily accessible from the driver/ front passenger seat. You don't want to be unpacking your car on the hard shoulder in a search of warning triangle.
Good Samaritan law
Good Samaritan law is followed in most European countries. It means that if you see a road traffic accident you need to stop and help to best of your capabilities. Even if you don't know the basic first aid, you could potentially save someone's life just by calling an ambulance. The Good Samaritan law varies from country to country so make sure you are familiar with all the details before you travel. You can read more about it here
Car checks
Before any travels, you should have your car checked professionally. Make sure that everything is in working order, you have a spare tyre and all liquids are topped up, such as oil and windscreen spray. When travelling with your pet ensure you have special seatbelt or cage for them, so they are secured during your journey.
Petrol stops
You are going to spend a fair bit of time on the motorways and as we all know, motorway petrol prices are rocket high. By coming off the motorway and driving an extra couple of miles you can reduce the cost drastically. The Waze app is brilliant for this. It will not only show you petrol stations near your location, but it will tell you exactly how far off your route they are and what is the cost per litre. You will be surprised how much prices can vary in 20 miles radius. We normally try to combine petrol stops together with rest breaks. We found that Supermarkets are the best for this as they have the best of both, cheap petrol and cheap food. The toilets are also much cleaner than the ones at the services, plus they are free.
When travelling anywhere in the world having local currency is a must. But travelling across Europe you need to remember to buy a small amount of currency's of the country's that you are going to visit on your way. It's important to have a few coins with you just in case you need to pay for the toilet
Prepare your Road trip playlist
This is a must! Can you imagine travelling for so long without listening to your fave tunes and singing along?! Of course, you also have an option of listening to a local radio station playing German Hip- Hop or French pop.
I love a road trip! Even if they take longer than flying, sometimes can be boring and super tiring especially when you are the driver. Road trips give you freedom of going any place you want, discover areas that you would not necessarily visit or change your plans last minute without having to worry about changing your flights etc. If you want to stay somewhere for longer or you want to move on onto the next place without hanging around. Travelling by car gives you freedom!

I´m typing this post from the computer at my hostel in Puerto Natales.
The trip to get here was an adventure, as always. I booked one night at the Yaganhouse hostel in Puerto Natales, and my thought was that I could always extend my stay there for two more nights if I didn´t find a tour with a few nights in Torres del Paine. I tried to reserve a seat on the bus from Punta Arenas (where I was arriving) to Puerto Natales (the city closest to Torres del Paine), but I did not have success at first. This is what the phone conversation with Buses Fernandez sounded like (translated into English):
Buses Fernandez: Hello?
Me: Hi, is this Buses Fernandez?
BF: Yes.
Me: Can I get a reservation for the 8 AM bus from Punta Arenas to Puerto Natales?
BF: We don´t do reservations by phone.
Me: Ah ok. Well perhaps you can help me with this. I´ll be arriving on a flight from Santiago at ...
I then hear music and realize that I was put on hold. I waited a few minutes, and no one ever came back to me. I then tried calling back, but I got no answer. I wanted to explain that I was arriving early in the morning and was wondering if a bus could pick me up at the airport since they pass by there.
I took a friend´s advice and called my hostel, and they purchased a seat for me on the 8 AM bus with Buses Fernandez. (Or so I thought, read on to find out what happened)
My flight from Santiago was at 1:25 this morning, and since I wasn´t sure when the last shuttle to the airport was, I left my apartment around 9:45. I made it to the airport by 11, and so I camped out for a few hours before getting my flight.
The flight was uneventful, and I arrived in Punta Arenas at 4:40. For some reason I thought I was going to arrive at 5:40. I camped out and slept until 8:15, and I stood outside waiting for my bus. When they arrived I told them my name, but they said that there was no reservation and asked me what seat the hostel purchased for me. I told them that the hostel didn´t give me that information and called them, but they didn´t answer. The bus attendant allowed me to board anyway.
After about half an hour, the hostel called me. They wanted to confirm that they had purchased a seat for me on the 11 AM bus with Buses Pacheco. I told them that I was already on the 8 AM bus, as that is what they told me about yesterday. The hostel told me that the bus company said they don´t pass by the airport, so they had to go with another company and that there weren´t any seats until 11.
I can laugh about it now, but the whole process seemed very confusing. I mean, why would you confirm with someone that they have a reservation on a bus if they didn´t? And if something changed, why wouldn´t you call them to inform them of the change? I can smile about it now and I arrived without a problem, but this is one aspect of Chilean culture that bothers me a bit.
After getting checked into my hostel, I dropped my bags and decided to walk around and explore Puerto Natales. It´s a small sleepy town, and since I¨m so close to the South Pole it´s actually pretty cold here. It will be between 40 and 60 my entire time here, and the wind is pretty strong. The city is pretty small, and it´s along the lake. I was walking along the shore, and the brisk air reminded me of La Serena.
I settled on a full day tour of Torres del Paine (a famous national park here) for tomorrow, and I visited a few souvineer shops and peekd into some restaurants. After coming back and making lunch, I went out walking again and got some hot chocolate to warm me up.
As I was sitting and writing some postcards, a woman started up a conversation with me. It turns out that she´s from Santiago and owns a jewelry shop in the Radisson where my dad will be staying in February. She´s an avid traveler also, and we talked about our travel adventures and exchanged contact information.
I´m excited for the trip to the national park tomorrow. And I almost forgot that today marks 10 months of traveling since I left home.

Patience is a virtue, a popular phrase says, and this stands true in every walk of life. Patience gives way to remarkable results and it can lead to positive recognition. A well-rounded leader sets himself apart from others by mastering the skills of patience and not giving up. Patience also helps you avoid making impulsive decisions and teaches you self-control, calmness and humility. A study conducted by parcel and postage comparison website Interparcel.com, earlier this year has revealed some interesting findings regarding the limits of British patience:
Key Takeaways:
- British people can wait up to 10 seconds for a web page to load
- They are only willing to wait up to 13 minutes for a delayed train
- They will wait up to 16 seconds for an online video to buffer
- 50% of British people have noticed they have become more impatient in the last five years
- Almost a third of British people (30%) sit still in traffic before considering another route
- Men are more likely to describe themselves as "very patient" compared with women.
Check out this infographic to see the limits in different situations and how strong British patience really is, especially in today's fast-paced business environment.

"Yeah my love is like the galaxy. It seems slow but it sure does shine. And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind."
TiKTok Multi-Touch Watch
I'm now the proud owner of a TiKTok Multi-Touch Watch Kit which transformed my iPod Nano into the world's coolest multi-touch watch.
You may have seen or heard about this item that broke all records on kickstarter.com -- most funds raised ($941,718), most backers (13,512), most popular reward, most comments, most money raised in one day, etc.
It's gigabytes of music, a watch and a pedometer all on my wrist. Eat your heart out, Dick Tracy.
Tweakers Portable USB Mini-speakers for iPod
My wife and I were planning a trip to Sayulita, a great little beach town just north of Puerto Vallarta, and she suggested I buy some small speakers for the trip. After doing some research and asking for advice from friends, I decided on Tweakers Mini-Boom Speakers for iPod, MP3 players and laptops.
These speakers put out great sound for their size, last long and are super compact. You can't beat the price, either -- about $25 on Amazon.
Grandmax, the makers of these speakers, has this to say about them:
These speakers put out great sound for their size, last long and are super compact. You can't beat the price, either -- about $25 on Amazon.
Grandmax, the makers of these speakers, has this to say about them:
Give it a twist and the top portion expands, giving you extra air space which brings out the bass. The expansion chamber has built-in LED lights that light up when you turn on the speakers. With built in lithium batteries, you can have hours and hours of listening. And with the built-in retractable audio and charge cables, there are no extra cables to bring around and no cable mess. When you need to charge your tweakers, just pull the charge cable out, and connect it to a mini USB, or use the included USB charge adapter to connect to a USB port.Btw, on our trip I ended up using these speakers with my iPod Touch and my Droid X.
Calexico - "Crystal Frontier"
Tucson-based Calexico is a truly American band, if ever there was one. To my knowledge, no other group (or "collective," as Calexico leader Joey Burns calls it) working in the rock genre utilizes more idioms than Calexico - Americana, country, mariachi, conjunto, cumbia, and Tejano. You can hear all of it in this song.
I've heard Calexico's music described as "desert noir." If that moniker is valid, "Crystal Frontier" is proof.
Blood spills out on the streets
and bodies are missing for weeks
both sides keeping a close eye
watching the bullets fly here... on the Crystal Frontier
Feist - "1234"
Just chatting with a friend about Wilco's latest, and the fact that Leslie Feist sings back up for Jeff Tweedy on the track "You and I," reminded me of this video. Leslie has a beautiful voice and this video still gives me goose bumps when I see it.
The Sesame Street version of "1234" is pretty cool, too. (Over 6 million views on YouTube!)
Spoon - "I Turn My Camera On"
Depending on your sensibilities, this video is totally cool or totally annoying. No matter, it's been viewed over 2 million times on YouTube. Spoon rocks.

(Adds details on favourable sporting results, U.S. operations)
May 8 (Reuters) - Roma's shock defeat of Barcelona and a surge in U.S. March Madness college basketball betting drove a 12 percent rise in online net revenue for British bookmaker William Hill in the first 17 weeks of this year, the company said on Tuesday.
Net revenue at William Hill Plc for the first 17 weeks of 2018 was 3 percent higher compared to the same period a year ago, the company said in a trading statement, as a recovery at its online business offset a decline in high street betting.
Shares in the company were just over 1 percent higher in early trading in London.
Roma surprised pundits last month by bouncing back from a 4-1 first leg defeat in the Champions League against the new Spanish champions to win the second leg 3-0 and the tie on goal difference. The bookmaker also said Arsenal's dismal away performance in the Premier League this season has helped boost margins.
Its U.S. operations saw a 17 percent rise in the amount wagered thanks to a boost from basketball wagering during the annual college tournament.
Revenue from the company's chain of betting shops fell 4 percent with amounts wagered slipping 13 percent, hurt by weaker performance in horse-racing.
William Hill also said it was still awaiting the outcome of the UK Triennial Review aimed at cutting the top stakes at Fixed Odd Betting Terminals (FOBTs).
An FOBT is a touch-screen machine that allows players to bet on the outcome of various games such as roulette. The machines have been dubbed the crack cocaine of gambling by campaigners who argue that they let players lose money too quickly, leading to addiction and wider social problems.
The government said in October it would reduce the maximum stake on in-shop fixed odds betting terminals (FOBTs) to between 2 and 50 pounds from 100 pounds to help tackle problem gambling. (Reporting by Rahul B in Bengaluru; editing by Patrick Graham)

To the Toa Family,
I am not sure if you remember who I am but I am Elder Xavier Stilson. I attended, played football and graduated from Layton High with Miller. Miller was one of the greatest people I know. He always had a very positive attitude and was just happy all of the time! I am serving in the Brasil, Vitória mission and was able to talk to Miller a little while we were serving in the MTC. I received a call from the mission office Friday night late telling me of his accident and passing and it really hit me hard. Miller was a great friend and brother who loved everyone and was truly loved by everyone. He was an amazing athlete; it was a privilege to play with him. Miller was always was there from me! He truly was a brother that was always at my side whenever I needed him. He was one of the most Christ-like people I know. He sealed his life serving our Lord and Savior. And now he has a bigger responsibility helping those on the other side to accept the restored gospel. He has always been an amazing missionary. I really wish that there was something more that I could do. His death was hard for me and I can't imagine how you all are feeling. But there is someone who is always there for us. He has a perfected plan for each and every one of us. The Plan of Salvation is probably the most valuable knowledge that I have in my life. To know that there is NO end, just a period where we are temporarily separated. We can have him ALWAYS with us. I know in my life that I can truly feel the presence of each and every one of my past friends and family members. There are experiences that I remember with them that really help me to continue on with my life. This week I have remembered all of the things that your son has taught me. Thank you so much for everything that you have done for me through him! I have a sincere love for each and every one of you and my prayers are with you. Thank you again for everything and if there is anything that I or my family can do to help any one of you please do not hesitate to call or write! My love is always with you.
Miller, God be with you til we meet again!
Elder Stilson
|Courtnee Wood and Miller Toa at Xavier's Farewell
Our dear American boy of Samoan and Tongan descent died on March 13, 2014 in an accident while serving in the Micronesia Guam Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was born on December 26, 1993 in Torrance, CA to Kaiser Tuiaana Toa and Veisinia Tuakimoana.
Miller was active in the Boy Scouts of America and enjoyed football, rugby, and wrestling. He attended Layton High School, graduating with Summa Cum Laude in 2012. He loved the people of Chuuk where he served them as a missionary.
Miller is survived by his parents, sisters Victoria and Ilaisaane, brother Albert, niece Jocelyn, and his grandma Moevanu.
We are so thankful and appreciative of the outpouring of love from family and friends.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Layton Stake Center, 60 Gordon Ave. Friends may visit family for traditional singing on Friday, March 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lindquist's Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Road and Saturday from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. at the church.

WASHINGTON The White House should investigate a public endorsement of Ivanka Trump products by Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, and consider disciplinary action, the Office of Government Ethics said in a letter on Tuesday.Conway's comments last week after Nordstrom announced it was dropping the brand of Trump's daughter Ivanka from its stores prompted criticism from Republican and Democratic lawmakers amid concern she may have violated ethics rules that prohibit using a public office to endorse products or advance personal business gains.
"There is strong reason to believe that Ms. Conway has violated the Standards of Conduct and that disciplinary action is warranted," the letter read. It recommended the investigation and any disciplinary action be taken by Feb. 28.

Habits- the wonderful things that bring peace to family life, and happiness to the mother. But lo, it is the mom that often needs to be working on those habits!!
I have noticed lately, and for a long time, that I am not a follower: not a list follower, routine follower, fashion follower, etc (ask my parents, actually, maybe don't). But I so need to set some routines down. Not that we don't have any routines, we do. They are a little harder to see in the summer, but they are there. But oh it seems so easy for me to just go on about my days in the summer, and forget those 'pegs' to our days- to get busy with this or that project and let the day slip away. I have realised that some of this is what I love about summer- but by about the third week of this low tide time we all crave for a few more routines- enough to pull us together.
In the realising of this need for routines in the 'low tide' times it has been a bit of a rocky path- me lamenting about the lack of responsibility of my flock, lamenting (nice way of saying complaining) about the house work all falling to me, lamenting about the sibling rivalry...you get the point. Then I got a good sleep- it is amazing what that can do for your mind!! I felt refreshed and ready to see everything in a better light- yes, we have let some things slide- but changes can be made. We read the Bible at breakfast than the kids did some chores. At lunch I pulled out the poetry books and then I even think I got dinner on the table before 7! Boy I felt better, and so did we all I think.
I don't know if this is making much sense, but to me it is helpful to look at these different seasons and to accept them as this: seasons. There are times when things flow more, when spending hours reading makes more sense (like when it is -45 out). This is all part and parcel of the ebb and flow of our days here. At times I have not accepted this as I should, thinking all the chores/routines/musical practices/reading times etc. all have to be nicely humming all the time instead of seeing the ebbing and flowing. Writing this post has helped though, and I am feeling much more at home and positive about it again!!
But what about the title 'Habits'. How is this post all coming around to that?? I am not totally sure, all I know is that those pegs, those parts of our days which we count on and come together around, bring a nice routine that lends itself to the formation of the aforesaid 'Habits'.
So.... the next post will continue (hopefully more directly) with Habits.

It makes total sense! I feel the same way, although with a baby due in a few weeks I'm having a harder time starting the habits/pegs/routine back up again knowing it is all going to crash soon, lol.

Yes, babies create their own routines, then the family builds around them!!
We are at a point, for the first time in 12 years where we have no toddler or nurser or pregnancy. I so miss that time....

Despite an unexpectedly large increase in US crude oil inventories, the continued decline in US crude oil production and the sharp reduction in refined oil and gasoline inventories provide support for oil prices. And the United States crude oil inventories unexpectedly increased mainly due to refinery utilization as a result of the accident and unexpectedly dropped to 85.5%, is expected to soon recover the utilization rate, so the inventory increase or not fear. In addition, EIA data show that the United States under the 48 states crude oil production fell by 36 thousand barrels a day, down to 7 million 969 thousand barrels a day, recorded the lowest level since June 2014. Before the OPEC report shows that the overall OPEC oil production once again set a record high. Although in September oil production increased by OPEC the news published on the occasion, OPEC and non OPEC meeting in Istanbul did not limit oil production problems put forward a clear plan, and the market began to doubt whether OPEC eventually reached by the end of September the implementation of the agreement to limit production. But the United States continued to cut oil output will undoubtedly release a positive signal to the market, because the position of each oil producing countries from Istanbul during the meeting can be seen, the United States oil producers to participate in or will be OPEC final implementation of a large "important condition of production". According to the China customs data released Thursday showed a record high Chinese September crude oil imports rose to 8 million 80 thousand barrels a day, an increase of 18%, more than the United States, has become the world's largest importer of crude oil. The United States in November crude oil futures yesterday, the U.S. oil futures closed at WTI in November to $50.44 a barrel in EIA crude oil inventories unexpectedly increased after the announcement, once oil prices plummeted, and the U.S. WTI crude oil price short-term once fell $50 barrel mark, but the United States crude oil production declined again and the recent OPEC take action to limit production is expected to heat up support the rise in oil prices, oil prices fell to recover quickly. On the daily chart, the two day after the callback in oil prices rebounded yesterday closed positive, in the 10 day moving average support after go up, the 50 day moving average through 100 on average, cash fork signal, short-term moving average rose significantly, MACD red column kinetic energy at RSI in the vicinity of 62, the exchange rate of short-term upward possibility, see target 51.50. 1 hours on the chart, the United States and the United States in the 200H average support by strong, has now stood on the 100H average, MACD rose above the axis of 0, RS up to near the scene of the exchange.相关的主题文章:

Boas – Boas (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥
-not a whole lot of information out there on the member(s) of the band but this will appeal to fans of melodic IDM, shoegaze or Mantles-inspired chillwave-
Oberhofer – o0Oo0Oo EP (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥♥
-not sure how official this release is but there's enough lo-fi pop perfection on here to force it onto everyone's year-end list; oh, and it's free–
Caribou – Tour CD 2010 (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥♥
-rumor had it that Dan Snaith's tour cd's were nothing short of super awesome; I'm a believer-
FUR / Coyote Clean Up – Lacksadaisical EP (2010, Waaga) ♥♥♥
-mostly chill beats not unlike Washed Out; not much difference between the two contributors-
Faust – Faust is Last (2010, Klangbad) ♥♥½
-those expecting the krautrock leanings of their early career will surely be disappointed; that's not to say this is without its artistic merit – just a bit more warped weirdness kinda like the last Scott Walker album-
The Sadies – Darker Circles (2010, YepRoc) ♥♥♥
-this got a little better with each subsequent spin; there's plenty of alt. country variety here but it won't be ranked up there with John Doe & Co.'s best-
Mayhew The Traitor – Deathwish (2008, Thinker Thought) ♥♥
-i downloaded this based on a review that claimed it to be 'dark, Gothic Americana' but it's hardly any of those and mostly uninteresting-
Sam Quinn – The Fake That Sunk A Thousand Ships (2010, Ramseur) ♥♥♥
-loved Sam's work with Jill Andrews as the Everybodyfields but while there are a few good songs here there isn't much to latch onto even after a few listens-
A Thousand Times Yes – Heart Beats (2006, self-released) ♥♥♥
-slightly more aggressive than their previous album; the tag-team boy/girl interplay still exists making adding a bit of fun; RIYL The Anniversary–
Wolf Parade – Expo 86 (2010, Sub Pop) ♥♥♥
-highly anticipated after hearing the first two singles but these lycanthropes may be losing their edge; creative twists and turns have been replaced with predictability-
Honey For Petzi – Nicholson + RMX for HFP (2006, Gentlemen) ♥♥♥½
-this continues along a natural progression of their previous work; fans of noodly guitar work and melodic instrumental mathcore rejoice and thank these Swissmen; RIYL Don Caballero / Dianogah–
The Books – The Way Out (2010, Temporary Residence) ♥♥♥½
-the purveyors of the folktronica genre and warm, textured sound collages and samples have notched another winner in their catalog-
Justin Rutledge – The Early Widows (2010, Six Shooter) ♥♥½
-Americana (from Canada) that focuses on fragile balladry; couple tracks include gospel choir backing to mix things up; RIYL Tom McRae–
The Mantles – Pink Information (2010, Mexican Summer) ♥♥
-not too much to see here if you were hoping for more of the S/T LP; sold exclusively on Record Store Day-
The Microphones – The Glow Pt. 2 (3LP Remaster) (2007, K) ♥♥♥♥½
-my first experience with the full LP of bonus tracks/outtakes/b-sides from this period and it does little to add to the original recording-
Linfinity – Martian's Bloom (2010, American Myth) ♥♥½
-if you treasure the thought of DeVotchKa fronted by Antony Hegarty (Antony & The Johnsons) then you might glean some honey from this comb; the bad news is this batch of tunes leaves little more than a faint impression after a few listens-
The Liminanas – I'm Dead 7″ (2010, Hozac) ♥♥♥½
-excellent throwback sound that channels the Specter wall-of-sound through 60's psyche-pop a la Os Mutantes; bring on the full-length-
Grails – Black Tar Prophecies Vol. 4 (2010, Important) ♥♥
-a very tame (read: dull) effort for a band that usually keeps the post-rock real; hopefully not a sign of things to come…-
The Acorn – No Ghost (2010, Paper Bag) ♥♥½
-if you were hoping for exploratory indie-folk sounds similar to 'The Flood' etc. from the excellent Glory Hope Mountain you're going to leave this one as disappointed as I was; as harmless as it was unfulfilling-
Carrots – So Many Failures You Call Success (2005, Grabaciones Del Mar) ♥♥♥♥
-a compilation of 'hits' from this seriously overlooked collective from Spain; equal parts E6 psyche-pop and power-pop and jangle-
Mini-Beats – July 2010 – Edition 22
Boas – Boas (2010, self-released) ♥♥♥

Yesterday, the Court of Appeals told the defendant he was wrong for requesting a jury instruction that could have helped him. Blithely ignoring its own reasoning, the Court provided a separate jury instruction, that could only have helped the State. There appears to be little even-handedness in this opinion and it telegraphs a dangerous message… Read more

SANDY, Utah (Saturday, October 14, 2017) – Real Salt Lake (12-14-6, 42 points, West #7) continues its 2017 MLS Cup "Playoff Push" with 5:30 p.m. MT Sunday afternoon kickoff in suburban Denver against Rocky Mountain Cup rival Colorado Rapids. WATCH the game LIVE on KMYU (2.2. air, 12 satellite, 643 Comcast HD) with Brian Dunseth and David James on the call, or LISTEN with Bill Riley and Jay Nolly on ESPN700 AM.
Unbeaten in 11 of its last 13 overall since an early July road in win Southern California, RSL improved to 12-11-4 overall in its new era under Head Coach Mike Petke with a stunning and dramatic 1-1 draw at LA Galaxy two weeks ago. RSL Captain Kyle Beckerman's left-footed laser in the 95th minute earned a point for 10-man RSL, which suffered the expulsion of DF Marcelo Silva in the game's 15th minute, falling behind 0-1 shortly thereafter.
Returning this week from international duty are Slovakian playmaker Albert Rusnák – who has 7 goals and 13 assists this season, as well as Ecuadoran FW Joao Plata and U.S. goalkeeper Nick Rimando, each of whom departed after the 1-1 draw at LA on Sept. 30 for the FIFA international window. Venezuelan FW Jefferson Savarino suffered an ankle injury against the Galaxy and has remained in Utah for medical treatment.
Sunday's meeting with the Rapids is the third of the year between the clubs, as RSL won 2-1 at Colorado back on April 15, a late goal from FW Brooks Lennon earning the full three points in a come-from-behind win at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. RSL secured its ninth Rocky Mountain Cup in the last 11 years with a dominant 4-1 win at Rio Tinto Stadium in August, Lennon and Plata adding goals on either side of a two-goal "brace" from FW Luis Silva.

The club's recent 2-0 home win over Seattle improved RSL to 8-4-4 at home this season entering next Sunday's reg. season finale against Kansas City, FW Jefferson Savarino providing the game-winner to move to six regular-season goals on the season, one behind the three-way "Golden Boot" triumvirate of MF Albert Rusnák alongside FW Joao Plata and FW Yura Movsisyan, each with seven goals. Rusnák's 13 assists thus far this year – with three games remaining – sets a new standard for the second-highest single-season total in club history (surpassing the 12 set in 2016 by Plata and 2014 by Javier Morales) – and sits just two helpers shy of matching Morales' club-record 15 assists in 2008.

We often lament the passing of our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, Xanh Bistro, once located in a strip mall off Brookhurst, but we recently returned to the spot and discovered that it had been replaced by a wonderful new eatery called Ennar Calasian Grill.
This delightful little restaurant features Japanese izakaya-style food with an extensive menu of small plates, a few Vietnamese offerings and items like sweet potato fries and lamb chops (thus, Calasian).
The décor is minimal but attractive, with long blonde wooden banquettes running along both walls, fronted by picnic-type tables and benches. There is an L-shaped bar for dining as well.
Our young, helpful and very sweet waitress guided us to some menu favorites, and each was a palate-pleasing delight. She highly recommended the squid salad to begin our meal. This was a large, entree-sized salad, the only dish on the menu that wasn't a small plate.
After one bite, we were hooked. We found it hard to stop eating the thin, tender rounds of squid scattered throughout the mixture of greens, red and yellow cabbage, thinly sliced apples, sesame seeds and tiny enoki mushrooms. The marvelous spicy/sweet citrusy dressing brought it all together. Our waitress said the dressing contained about 12 ingredients and was made fresh every day.
