Half Time Norwich 0 West Ham 1 - Exhibition football so far!
The goal was superb. Noble played a lovely pass inside the full back, Rat sent over a delicious cross, low and hard to the near post, Nolan tried to flick it home but when his effort was blocked, had the composure to retrieve the ball on the by-line, look up and pick out Morrison, who slid it into the gaping net.
To be honest, the biggest worry is that Norwich will press us higher in the second half and one of Tomkins, Collins, Noble, Collison, Morrison or Demel will be caught in possession. Dehlia's darlings might as well be hung for a mutton stew as for a lamb casserole after all, so worrying about gaps at the back may now be off the agenda.
Of course, this is all utterly surreal. An Allardyce team passing the opposition to death! Who would believe it? Fingers crossed the Canaries don't burst our bubbles second half!

Only one explanation for that result.... We took a dive to save Hughton job.
- 9 November 2013 at 19:35
absolutely ridiculous second half. we looked lost, uninterested, and seemed as if players were just expecting each other to pick up their slack and carry the weight. Our striker issue has been well documented, Nolan doesn't fit the bill for that position and its embarrassing were still relying on Carlton Cole. BFS has to switch things up, the game plan is just not working at the moment and its so apparent that just pinging balls into the box from the wings without a target man/ men just does not work. Rarely have we seen players cutting inside from the wings, testing the defence and having a crack on goal. Switch it up Sam, or gtfo.

hahhahaha what happened hf?
- 9 November 2013 at 19:39
Well, what a pity the Game is actually played over 90 minutes !
Losing to lowly Norwich would be the low point in season full of lows.
Relegation certainties.

No post on the full time score? Always going to happen that! Ha ha
- 9 November 2013 at 19:49
Truly wonderful movement, exhibition football indeed......c'mon Snoddy!!! GOING DOWN, GOING DOWN, GOING DOWN!!!!!
- 9 November 2013 at 19:57
So what happened? Did you uncross your fingers? Funny how west ham ended up "chasing shadows" isn't it? Especially for that 3rd goal,what a Fer-king cracker it was too. Don't hold out much hope for the hammers now that they've been soundly beaten in "Sams six pointer". Leeds won though.
- 9 November 2013 at 20:58
You sulking luv? Nolan offside for Morrison goal aswell!
- 9 November 2013 at 23:42
Didn't return for the full time result I see spam boy. Your lot are going down. :)
- 9 November 2013 at 23:52
Leeds won, how did you get on? Lol
- 10 November 2013 at 00:29
Where's part two, armchair? Couldn't bear to string the words together now relegation looms? Amazing how you dare to write so-called match reports without being at the ground. You're a pathetic loser.
- 10 November 2013 at 00:37
Did you say Noble? I thought you did. But of course it was before you saw the second half! He is too slow and makes pathetic mistakes. Cost us so many points, Everton, Norwich and so many I don't care to remember.
What a Hero. He will take us down to Championship. And of course he will stay with us simply because no other Premiership manager is fool enough to have him in his team. Pathetic! I mean really...
- 10 November 2013 at 02:12
This post is hilarious as is the lack of follow up to it and the lack of comments from the author on his favourite love and obsession - Leeds Utd. Good ol' Grass in the Snake, that's what I say! :-)

7 Reasons Why Tomato Is Great For Your Skin & Face
Everyone knows the health benefits of a juicy, sweet tomato. Do you know it can also help you get gorgeous skin?
Why rely on expensive salon treatments or beauty products when you can get the same results at a fraction of the cost? How, you might ask? By checking what's inside your fridge.
The ordinary tomato is a treasure trove of beauty ingredients just waiting to be tapped.
7 Amazing Tomato Benefits For Your Skin
#1 Shrink pores
Tomato juice works as an excellent astringent. Mix one spoonful of tomato juice with 4-5 drops of lemon juice and apply on your face. Rinse with lukewarm water to shrink open pores.
#2 Fight acne
Among other benefits of tomato for skin include its ability to fight acne. Apply a mashed tomato all over your face. Wash it off after an hour and apply a good moisturiser. With regular use you will notice a reduction in your acne.
#3 Remove blackheads
Rubbing tomato slices into blackhead affected areas can help cure your skin of this annoying problem.
#4 Cut out the oil
Oily skin? No more. Blend together the juice of a tomato and cucumber, and apply it on your face using a cotton ball. Done regularly, this will reduce facial oil secretion.
#5 Remove tan
Back from a sunny vacation and want to remove that tan? Cover your face with the pulp of a mashed tomato and wash off with cold water after 15 minutes. If you're in a rush, add 2 tablespoons of milk to the mashed tomato and wash off after 5 minutes with Olay Moisture Balance Foaming Face Wash with Vitamin E.
#6 Freshen skin
Dull, irritated or sunburnt skin can be repaired with a curd and tomato face mask. Apply this mixture to your face and let it sit for 20 minutes before washing it off with lukewarm water. Curd nourishes with protein while tomato cools the skin.
#7 Get fairer skin
A blend of tomato juice and honey can give you a fairer and more glowing complexion. Banish dull and drab skin with this magical blend.
Identify your skin type:
- If you have combination skin, you can make a cleansing mask using tomato juice and avocado pulp. Your skin is hydrated with the avocado and the tomato does the job of an astringent.
- Rejuvenate oily skin with the refreshing combination of tomato and cucumber. The natural astringent properties of both soak up the oil and also prevent the skin from dehydrating too much.
- The moisturising property of olive oil combines with tomato for face with dry skin, leaving it soft and supple.
Who would've thought the simple tomato could be so rich in beauty properties. Stock up on some extra ones the next time you go to buy vegetables.

Do you remember these houses?
Royal Pavilion and Museums Brighton
If you can enlighten us on the date of this photo - please post a note below.
It's St Bartholomew's Church in the background, and from Google I would suggest that the houses seen were in Ann Street and demolished around 1975 to make way for the building of the new St Bartholomew's School.
I don't know about WHEN this photo was taken, Jennifer, I'm having trouble in deciding WHERE it was taken! I'm thinking the east side of London Road, possibly Francis Street. I know the houses on the south side of Francis Street were demolished in the 60s. Of course, it could be the west side of London Road, but most of those streets behind St Bart's were demolished years ago. Stumped, really. Anyone else?
You're completely right, Peter. There is a photo in the James Gray Collection which shows that central heating business in the distance. http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume25/source/jg_25_267.html
Hetex (Southern) Ltd was the heating company at 19 Ann Street (shown at left of picture) which went into liquidation in January 1969. We have no way of knowing whether this pre-dated or post-dated the picture. The flat above and surrounding buildings continued to be occupied until 1971-72 and the council acquired number 19 by no later than September 1970. I would therefore assume the picture was taken around 1971.

The economic clauses of the Treaty were malignant and silly to an extent that made them obviously futile. Germany was condemned to pay reparations on a fabulous scale. These dictates gave expression to the anger of the victors, and to the failure of their peoples to understand that no defeated nation or community can ever pay tribute on a scale which would meet the cost of modern war.
The multitudes remained plunged in ignorance of the simples economic facts, and their leaders, seeking their votes, did not dare to undeceive them. The newspapers, after their fashion, reflected and emphasized the prevailing opinions. Few voices were raised to explain that payment of reparations can only be made by services or by the physical transportation of goods in wagons across land frontiers or in ships across salt water; or that when these goods arrive in the demanding countries they dislocate the local industry except in very primitive or rigorously-controlled societies. In practice, as even the Russians have now learned, the only way of pillaging a defeated nation is to cart away any movables which are wanted, and to drive off a potion of its manhood as permanent or temporary slaves. But the profit gained from such processes bears no relation to the cost of the war. No one in great authority had the wit, ascendancy, or detachment from public folly to declare these fundamental, brutal facts to the electorates; nor would anyone have believed if he had. The triumphant Allies continued to assert that they would squeeze Germany "till the pips squeaked". All this had a potent bearing on the prosperity of the world and the mood of the German Race.
In fact, however, these clauses were never enforced. On the contrary, whereas about £1,000 million of German assets were appropriated by the victorious Powers, more than £1,500 millions were lent a few years later to Germany principally by the United States and Great Britain, thus enabling the ruin of the war to be rapidly repaired in Germany. As this apparently magnanimous process was still accompanied by the machine-made howling of the unhappy and embittered populations in the victorious countries, and the assurances of their statesmen that Germany should be made to pay "to the uttermost farthing", no gratitude or good-will was to be expected or reaped.
Germany only paid, or was only able to pay, the indemnities later extorted because the United States was profusely lending money to Europe, and especially to her. In fact, during the three years 1926 to 1929 the United States was receiving back in the form of debt-instalments indemnities from all quarters about one-fifth of the money which she was lending to Germany with no chance of repayment. However, everybody seemed pleased and appeared to think this might go on for ever.
History will characterise all these transactions as insane. They helped to breed both the martial curse and the "economic blizzard", of which more later. Germany now borrowed in all directions, swallowing greedily every credit which was lavishly offered her Misguided sentiment about aiding the vanquished nation, coupled with a profitable rate of interest on these loans, led British investors to participate, though on a much smaller scale than those of the United States. Thus Germany gained about fifteen hundred million pounds sterling in loans as against the one thousand millions of indemnities which she paid in one form or another by surrender of capital assets and valuta in foreign countries, or by juggling with the enormous American loans. All this is a sad story of complicated idiocy in the making of which much toil and virtue was consumed.

Hey, What happens when an ordinary account here makes a post and includes the 'Contact Form 7' that BiBedBud created?
Let's find out!
Hey, What happens when an ordinary account here makes a post and includes the 'Contact Form 7' that BiBedBud created?
Let's find out!
Not really sure what we are supposed to put in there, and does it take our data and post it to the forums, or a hidden DB?
Nah, nevermind……
The original post was just me testing-out the 'Contact Form' feature I've installed in the back-end. I was testing the form, and not really trying to communicate anything with this post. But, since you ask……. There is no such "hidden DB". Rather, this is blog space! Simple. I, you, anyone else registered, we can blog here. And when we do, others can comment on that blog post, and those comments and counter-comments and responses to these, are all threaded below one another, as you see in this thread. Unlike with a typical forum thread, where the "OP" (Original Poster) can make a post, and then everyone on the forum can also post in that same thread *without restriction* — the same isn't true here.
In the "blog space" on the 'Bisexuality.Club' Magazine website; when you make a blog post, you have the option of approving or deleting the comments others offer in response. This is not possible in a forum space, since all members of the forum have their say always. In the blogosphere, the blog's OP gets to approve or trash the comments of others.
Oh, I should have mentioned, that the 'Contact Form 7′ thing at top, yes, I guess it's safe to say that I get that information. It' doesn't get trapped directly in a database automatically. Rather, the software sends it to me as an email. Unless I delete that email, then it'll likely stay in my email system. It's not specifically getting deposited into a database, though that is something I could easily do if I were so inclined, but so far I haven't found the inclination to undertake that.
Please remember: I'm practically a hobbyist here. I'm not trying to do this site "professionally" as a way to make money. It's just that I already have the "bandwidth" and doing all this serves as a kind of practice field for me. Once I get it all set up the way I'd like, perhaps I'll take it commercial — but it'll never be my "day job". That's for sure!

I read. I notice. I reply.
Too bright yellow
Nice, but the bright yellow for folders is awful
Maybe I should make it brown? Or simply darker? Most folder icons are yellow in colour, though I doubt about it. I agree there are some weaknesses in the Phoenity folder icons. They are too light and not clear enough. I think I'll have to sharpen the outlines.
Phoenity 1.3.1
very nice theme .. icons need to be bigger
Bigger? How big then? Current version of Phoenity, including Winstripe, follows the standard sizes of Windows XP which are 24×24px by default and 16×16px in small icons mode. The default standard icon size for older Windows is 20×20px. Linux and MacOSX uses different icon sizes as well. So far, there is no real standard size here, as most people might argue. Since the Firefox developers have chosen Windows XP's sizes, I'll just follow.
i like the fact we can have subthemes/customisability 4 because i dont really like SOME of the icons, the others i love!
Well, that's a matter of personal taste. When I first released Phoenity to the public, I never thought anyone would like my icons at all. Whenever I compare my icons with the heavyweights such as Crystal, I felt that my icons look so dull and boring. Ironically, there are people who like such icons. Simplicity rules, I guess.
Great but could be a lot better
Its a great theme, just all those blue square things are annoying. What about circles in replace. Its really starting to bother me. This is the second best theme for firefox I have seen. Second best because it is missing some stuff and some of the graphics are a bit annoying (like said before).
I assume this commenter is referring the throbber as the blue square things, since no other Phoenity icons has such properties. Rounded circle is possible, but I'll have to wait till Firefox supports APNG or MNG. GIF will make it looks jagged, you know. As the matter a fact, my first decision is to create a round throbber. To prevent jaggedness, I have no choice but to use a rounded rectangle instead.
Nice Icons, could be alil bigger
Again? Okay, I think, this time, screen resolution could be one of the reasons. Some people, mostly laptop users, set a very high screen resolution for their monitors. Thus, the icons become very small and almost indistinguishable. In this case, the solution is not to create larger icons, but to use assistive technologies such as SVG so that the icons will be in vector form, resizable in any dimension yet still looks sharp. Opera tries to fix this problem by introducing its own zooming technology to resample the raster icon images. Mozilla Firefox have neither such capability nor supports any form of vector format for the icons. So, let's get on with it.
best but dont like
very nice but dont like in your face throbber. simple default throbber will do. other than that it is very nice theme.
One question, what is a throbber? Think about it. Creating a throbber is more difficult than it seems. A throbber is also called an activity indicator, obviously to show the current status of the loading page. On Firefox, it also acts as a hyperlink button, and when clicked, goes to the Firefox home page. So, what should a throbber looks like? Other web browsers' throbbers represent their own logo and branding, such as Netscape and Internet Explorer. Maybe I should use the Phoenity logo as the throbber? Or maybe follow Winstripe's footsteps, creating a throbber that reflects its functionality instead? This requires some thinking, so I might come up with a satisfying answer, sooner or later.
Its alright, not great. Kind of weird. Needs more work.
Interesting. I never thought that I've created some weird set of icons. I better change my theme's description to 'A simple, colourful and weird theme for everyone'. Just kidding.
Well, I don't like it... You see... well, it's better than the default one, but... colorfull icons with grey toolbars don't really make a great harmony
Why not change the colour of the toolbar then? Before I use Windows XP, I've changed my Windows 98's colour scheme to match Mozilla's Modern theme and wow, it sure makes things look modern at that time. What I mean is that not all icons can blend in any background. If it's not harmonic, try tweak the system colours to your liking. For your information, the first few versions of Phoenity theme for Firefox are created on a Windows 98 machine. I have never seen my own icons on Windows XP's interface, except screenshots sent to me by other people via e-mail, until the time I got to install Windows XP by around mid-year 2003.
Not the best.
Somewhat disharmonic.
Another disharmony?
Good but...
Abit distrative, and not very nice folder icons. Sort them out and we'll talk ;)
The word 'distractive' shocked me. As for the folder icons, I'll try fix it, as mentioned above. But for the other icons, I wonder how distractive are they? Are they too bright, too colourful or too vibrant for the eyes? I'm sorry if I missed the point here, so I supposed we really have to talk. Unfortunately, I don't have the commenter's e-mail address or any contact information. Sigh.
Its really really BAD
BAD BAD n BAD. Dont download. Its a waste of time
I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time, buddy. Thanks to Firefox's amazing features, you can immediately uninstall my theme and try all the other various themes from Mozilla Update. I hope you can find your favourite theme. Good luck.
Update 25 December 2004: Mozilla Update has been updated. All the old comments are gone. Fortunately, some of them are archived in this post.

Robert Tennyson will be covering aspects of Agile Design from the Agile, Principles, Patterns and Practices in C# book, by Robert C. Martin, and Micah Martin. This presentation will focus on what it means to have an agile design. He will also write the Copy program from the book and work through the process of turning it into a solid agile design. If you are new to agile design, this would be a good meeting to attend on July 10th, 2008.
Rob has been developing enterprise applications for around 8 years now. His current development environment is Visual Studio 2008 with ReSharper 4.0 and his current language of choice is C#. He writes both ASP.NET and Windows applications. Rob's current topic of interest is what it means to write Agile and maintainable code. You can follow Rob on his LetsTalkCode blog.
You can find out more info about this at the Northwest Arkansas .NET User Group, here is a direct link to the calendar event here.
This months meeting location is NWACC Corporate Learning at 4004 N. College Ave, Ste L. Fayetteville, AR.
One of my colleagues at Tyson Foods arranged to have Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo give a Nothin' But Dot Net Training class. I saw the opportunity to have him present at our use group since the training was the same week as our meeting. Jean-Paul was gracious enough to agree to present on Generics: They're no just for collections. He has also agreed to help me launch a Podcast I have been wanting to start called Let's Talk Code!. Thanks, JP for helping get this started. Generics: They're not just for collections In this session participants will be introduced to advanced usages of generics outside of the realm of just strongly typed collections. They will learn about how the focus of generics in the realm of collections has clouded the fact that generics can be used to introduce powerful capabilities into your application frameworks and solutions. Practical demonstrations will be utilized to showcase how developers can immediately start harnessing the power of generics in their applications today.
Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo is an independent consultant who spends most of his days helping teams realize success through the adoption and application of agile practices. He has a passion for sharing information with the development community which he often tries to do on his blog at http://www.jpboodhoo.com/blog. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. When not developing, he can be found relaxing with his amazing wife and their four beautiful kids.

A few days ago I found myself on the phone with my parents, unsure of any and all of my life decisions. Do I want to be a writer? What does that even mean? What if I don't like politics? What if it is all too much?
It was clear to my parents that I was just a wee bit overwhelmed by everything happening around me. I, for once, didn't have any complaints about my classes. I have an amazing internship that, whether or not I end up in that field, will be an incredible experience with talented and passionate people. Not to mention a job where I work with my friends and my boss is dedicated to our professional development.
That all made me sick to my stomach. All my past choices were made to get me to this point and now I'm here. So of course that little voice inside my head says, "Well now if it goes down hill, it's all your fault."
When people give you opportunities, recognizing your value, there is a newfound expectation. In my experience, I felt a new pressure to succeed immediately and know exactly what I want at all times.
Then I realized that is not what this is about. Yes, it is important that I work hard and put forth every effort I can to succeed. It is my responsibility to carry through with my commitments and take advantage of my experiences.
However, it is not my responsibility to be perfect. I am not expected to get straight A's or know exactly what I'm doing at my internship. I can ask questions and learn from the people around me. Most importantly, I'm allowed to make mistakes. It's unhealthy to expect perfection, but it is irresponsible not to learn.
I've made the conscious decision to challenge myself this semester. I'm taking difficult classes, keeping up with a job and internship, as well as starting this project. If I learn one thing at all over the next few months, it will be balance.
Already, I have learned that sometimes my blog post will not appear on Fridays. I will have to sacrifice being social or a little bit of sleep to get that extra bit of work done.
So a few days ago, as I found myself on the phone with my parents, staring directly at the next three months, I realized I am exactly where I wanted to be. It is terrifying, it is intimidating, but, most of all, it is inspiring.
Now I know I can do it. I put my mind to something and I make it happen. Now, I will prove to myself that I was right. I can do this.

Since it's Super Bowl Sunday, I figured most of us aren't eating a traditional Sunday dinner anyway and we're all snacking on nachos and hot dogs, right? Oh… just me? Well anyway, I thought I would share with you my guacamole recipe. It only takes about 15 minutes to make, and I promise you it is SEVEN THOUSAND times better than that stuff you get at the store. Seriously, treat yourself.
First, here's a list of what you'll need. You should know that I kinda make this up as I go each time, so these amounts are flexible to your personal taste. You should also know that I cannot seem to remember to buy jalepeños at the grocery store, so I have learned to make it without. It is better with fresh peppers if you yourself can remember them! Just add a small amount at a time and taste as you go so you don't get overwhelmed by the heat. OK, here we go!
• 2 large, ripe avocados
• 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
• 1 small shallot
• 2 cloves garlic
• handful of fresh cilantro chopped finely
• 1 lime (for juice from half of it)
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp ground red papper (cayenne or ancho chili pepper or whatever you prefer)
• 1/4 tsp salt
The first thing I do is split the avocado in half and scoop out the guts into a bowl to mash with a fork.
Once mashed, I squeeze 1/2 of a lime all over it. Not only is the juice delicious, but it will delay the browning of the avocado.
Next, dice up your garlic cloves and shallot and throw them in the bowl. And hold a matchstick between your teeth while you chop and you won't cry as much! Honest!
Then dice up your cherry tomatoes and throw them in the mix.
Stir all that up and then add in your red pepper, red pepper flakes, cilantro and salt.
And voila! That's it! You are done! Now, a few tips. First, if you taste it and it's just not flavorful enough, try adding 1 Tbsp of your favorite salsa. A buddy of mine from Texas taught me that trick and it smoothes out the guac and adds a wonderful flavor. But! It takes away a little of the green, so it won't be as pretty. But it will taste delicious :)
Also, this starts browning after about an hour, so I suggest making it right before eating. But if it does brown on top, just stir it all up and it's fine. It will still taste good.
And lastly! If you are Paleo like me and try to avoid corn chips, guacamole is fabulous on radishes! And radishes only have 1 calorie each! And I guess I should tell you the calories in the guac now, too. The whole bowl is 550 calories. So if you split it with your honey for dinner (what? Like you've never done that?) it's 225 calories. But this bowl is usually enough for 4 people which would be about 135 calories per person.
And if you need MORE recipes for the game tonight, here is a bunch!

Hey, doll, come on in and pull up a chair, eh? We're just sitting here drinking a glass of champansky with our stunning Canadian-born friend, Lana Ogilvie. Surely you know – or at least have seen – the lovely Lana, darlin'. She's one of the world's top supermodels. In fact, she was the first black model ever to earn a major contract with Cover Girl. Way to break ground, doll. Cheers. Anyway, our gal has graced the covers or pages of magazines including Sports Illustrated, Elle, Vogue, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Essence, More and Harper's Bazaar. As if that weren't enough, Lana is also a talented jewelry designer and gem of a party hostess. Grab a glass and a serviette, doll, and let's check out Lana's portfolio of party tips, shall we?
Your entertaining style?
Both casual and formal but always comfortable – mi casa su casa
Signature party detail?
An eclectic, curated playlist that takes you through the evening. It always starts with soft, jazzy soul then moves into more funky upbeat tunes as the evening progresses and everyone is feeling more comfortable with one another.
Lana prepares the table for a recent dinner party
Last party you hosted?
I've been traveling a lot this year so my New Year's Eve party was the last big one I hosted. It was a last-minute thing for whoever was around, yet it lasted until 4:30 am. There were an incredible number of empty bottles to clean up the next day!
Last party you attended?
I went to an amazing dinner party recently at a friend's apartment. They did a four-hour tasting menu themed around white truffles with exquisite wine pairings and lots of caviar.
Lana and fellow model, Joan Smalls Rodriguez, at a party honoring Bethann Hardison, a supermodel of the 70s and fashion activist
Most comfortable shoes for dancing the night away?
The last time I really boogied was at a party a few months ago that Iman, Naomi and Tyson Beckford threw for Bethann Hardison. I wore a pair of four-inch Jill Sander heels and danced for three hours. If you have enough cocktails, every pair of shoes is comfortable.
Best or most memorable party you ever attended?
Ron Perelman's Apollo in the Hamptons fundraiser. Watching Colin Powell boogie onstage with Pharrell, Jamie Foxx and Lenny Kravitz was probably one of the most memorable things I will ever see.
Most fascinating person you met at a party?
Chuck Berry. We talked over cocktails on a flight from Mexico to New York. To me, that's a party! Imagine, there would be no rock and roll without him!
Dream dinner partner?
Sean Connery in his prime – as 007!
Trait you admire most in a guest?
The ability to make witty conversation
Getting ready ritual?
Rushing around with the contents of my closet on the floor
Best party make up trick?
An eye line à la Sophia Loren or Audrey Hepburn but in electric blue or violet and loads of mascara
What's always in your evening bag?
Lip gloss, mascara, Altoids and band-aids
Let's play favorites:
Cocktail :: vodka gimlet
Champagne :: Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Rose
Canape :: blinis and caviar
Color :: Deep violet
Flower :: Calla lilly
Party lip color :: Nars Stolen Kisses
Party nail shade :: Revlon Grape
Party dress designer :: I love Zero + Maria Cornejo and Sophie Theallet although, if I still had my 25-year-old figure, I would wear Azzedine Alaïa ALL THE TIME.
Accessories :: my Sabre jewelry collection
Flatware :: Christofle Chinon
Tableware :: Tsé & Tsé associées – the bowls are beautiful with gold leaf on the inside
Glassware :: Riedel
Party resource :: Le Dû's Wines on Washington Street
Three party pet-peeves?
Music that's too loud for conversation, tepid food and people on their smart phones at the table
Three party must-haves?
Good wine, good music and good conversation
Thanks, Lana. You're a doll for stopping by.
Not ready for the party to end? Join us for a nightcap on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Garden Chiffchaff
Here in Kent, we've had a splendid week of sunny weather. On Wednesday night I had time to sit on the Dungeness beach and share an hour's solitude in the company of a rare Long tailed Skua and watch the sun go down. Tonight, and back in the garden a migrant Chiffchaff is happy to mix with a resident flock of Blue Tits and Great Tits which frequent the over grown plants and Sedges around the garden pond. Once again, the late afternoon sun has enabled me to get a decent photo of a fast moving bird. It's possible in September that many dozens of Chiffchaffs stream through our gardens turning to just a trickle in October and eventually the majority in Africa for the winter.
Whilst we've had a few flights of autumn Meadow Pipits pass over, there are still plently of late summer Swallows and Martins around and also their arch enemy the Hobby. The odd Buzzard is never too far away and a party of 6 Cormorants flew north over the village to.
It may never happen again, so here's a couple more pics of the Long Tailed Skua watching the sun go down on Dungeness Beach.

The estate of Mr. Forrest F. Dryden, reproducedfrom an original painting in oil. The treatment of the trees was entrusted to the demonstrated skill of Davey Tree Surgeons Among prominent persons served by Davey Tree Surgeons are: HAROLD F. McCORMICK IRVIN S. COBB CHARLES L. TIFFANY DANIEL GUGGENHEIM CAPT. ISAAC E. EMERSON H. S. FIRESTONE MRS. T . J. EMORY MRS. JAMES ROOSEVELT JOHN DAVEY Father of Tree Surgery Do you really know what is the condition of your trees? Yes, they probably look all right to the untrained eye. But a fine valuable tree may appear healthy and still be rotting away on the inside or be ready to split to pieces in any high wind. On a certain large estate where a squad of Davey Tree Sur geons were at work, the Davey representative called the owner's attention to a beautiful tree with a badly splitting crotch. The owner, not realizing its serious condition, replied, "Let that one go for a while; there are some other ones I wish to take care of first." No amount of argument would cause him to change his decision. A heavy summer storm happened to come up a week or so later, and half of that tree crashed to the ground. This same thing is happening to thousands upon thousands of fine trees every year. And all because the owners, not realizing the dangerous conditions that may exist, neglect them just because the leaves are green and the trees may look healthy and safe. For the treatment of your priceless trees you will certainly require Tree Surgeons of unquestioned skill and responsibility. The Davey Organization of several hundred highly trained men of fine character has been built slowly and patiently to give the utmost in Tree Surgery. A careful examination of your trees will be made by appointment.

Freccia is Italian for "arrow," and this sharp new piece from Dainese lives up to the namesake.
Made from soft natural cowhide this straightforward café style jacket is accented with bands and stripes on the sleeves and a chevron across the back—throwbacks to archival Dainese race leathers.
The Dainese Freccia72 Jacket can be worn off the bike and on the bike without compromising style or protection. Unlike the finely perforated version, which allows the jacket to breathe exceptionally well in hot weather, this version of the Freccia comes with supple non-perforated leather for better cooler-weather performance. The low-profile Dainese Pro armor is as discreet as can be while still offering CE-Level 1 protection.
> Soft natural cowhide leather> Jacket-trousers connection loop> Perforated leather > Printed cotton liner> 1 inner pocket> 2 outer pockets> Pocket for G1 or G2 back protector (sold separately)
Note: The Dainese Settantadue collection is just now becoming available and we're still receiving new stock. If you don't see your desired size/color combo in a particular jacket email our support team and we'll be glad to locate a jacket for you.

From solve ME/CFS Initiative.
Dr. Jarred Younger (University of Alabama at Birmingham) recently provided Solve ME/CFS Initiative (SMCI) with a progress update on the Ramsay 2016 Research Team 1 project. Dr. Younger is using a magnetic resonance spectroscopic thermometry (MRSt) technique to assess absolute temperature across the entire brain. He aims to describe inflammatory processes at work in the brains of individuals with ME/CFS. In the following interview, he reflects on what motivated him to study neuroinflammation in ME/CFS and how pilot grants like the Ramsay Award can jump-start promising lines of investigation.
Research update from Dr. Younger
"We are testing the hypothesis that ME/CFS fatigue is due to inflammation of the brain. To test that hypothesis, we are using a type of MRI scan called magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI). This technique allows us to collect 3D, full-brain pictures of several markers that are elevated with brain inflammation. We can measure myo-inositol and choline, which are increased when brain immune cells are activated and lactate which is increased during more severe brain inflammation. The picture below shows an example of an ME/CFS participant, where we can see possible inflammation near the front part of the brain.

When it comes to traveling, long or short haul, we all have our routines, superstitions (I have to buy a Sprite before boarding, don't ask why) and gear we absolutely need to ensure an enjoyable journey. Here are my travel essentials:
Noise Canceling Headphones
I'm someone that absolutely needs his headphones on a trip. Before buying a set of noise canceling headphones, I didn't know what I was missing. I was skeptical that a pair of headphones that cost hundreds of dollars will really be any different than the pair that comes with my iPhone. I was wrong. They make a world of difference. I highly suggest picking some up before your next flight. Whether it's to watch a movie, listen to music or just block out the loud engines or terminal noise – I need my Bose noise canceling headphones.
Carry-on Luggage
Growing up, my family would always check bags. After all, it is nice to be able to walk around the terminal and board without a huge piece of luggage. That all changed when US Airways lost my bag on a trip to Cabo San Lucas. Having your luggage lost sucks and is completely out of your control. I decided then and there that I'd never check a bag again if I can help it. Now, I always pack as much as possible into my carry-on bag.
Toiletry Bag
Having a proper toiletry bag is also a must. When you're as organized and clean as me, having a toothbrush, toothpaste, hair gel, etc. just stuffed in your bag willy nilly is unacceptable. That, and it ensures your clothes won't get destroyed should something open mid-air. What a disaster that would be. No thanks.
Adaptor – For International Travel
This is something most people forget to even look into when traveling international. Not all outlets in the world are the same. If you're packing for an international trip, be sure to Google whether or not you'll need an adaptor. Most hotels have them available these days but they may charge you. It's best to bring your own. This one here is perfect. Try to avoid buying one in an airport as they'll cost you a pretty penny.
Portable Clothes Steamer
This is something I just recently started carrying with me but I'll never get on a plane without it in the future. Maybe one-day hotels will have these available in their rooms but until then, this travel steamer will have to do. It's ideal when traveling with a suit, tux or dress shirts. If you hate having wrinkly clothes upon arrival, get one of these. They fit into most bags perfectly and are easy to operate.
What are your travel necessities? Superstitions?

It has been a roller coaster of emotions and finances these past few months. From packing up and moving, to putting our house on the market, from paying a rent and a mortgage to closing the deal, we have been through a lot as a family. Corey has been especially cautious with our finances these past few months as well. In his words, "Until that check clears..." meaning, we can't count on the house money until it is official because anything can happen.
Even with the fire in the canyon, the insurance company would not insure the house for the new owners until after the fire was put out. So, even then, we were waiting, hanging, until the fire was out. What if the buyers decided it wasn't worth it to wait? Or that it was too risky living in a place where wildfires happen? We had no clue about what they were thinking, so we kind of put our hopes of a fat check on hold.
And then my phone fell into a pool. Right in, under water. And wouldn't you know it, it turned on, it received messages, but the darned touch screen was inoperable. The only mode of operating the phone was incapacitated. Even with insurance, it would have cost us an extra $200 to get a refurbished phone. And Corey wouldn't budge on getting a new one. We were living just fine with me using his phone, and him carrying just his work phone. He insisted on waiting till we closed on the house, had the mortgage off our plate, and had our check from the new owners safely in our account. So, I patiently waited.
He even wanted to "trim the fat" so to speak while we were paying a rent and a mortgage. He asked me to cancel our cleaning lady! She only costs us an average of $20 a week, but he wanted us to conserve our funds until everything was cleared. I couldn't do that to her. She's a single lady and she depends on her clients for her income. So I decided to split the difference. I explained about the phone, the mortgage and the rent, and she understood. But I also told her that I could empathize with her depending on us as one of her steady clients. I told her that I could pay her for one hour of work ($20) out of my own personal money so that she would only be out $20 for this week, instead of the $40 we usually pay her (she comes every other week for 2 hours.)
I know that I could have budgeted more than the $20, but I felt like it was a fair meeting in the middle. After all, it's still my cash. I didn't have to use any of it, really, but my heart told me that it was the right thing to do to still contribute a little bit.
And then the magical day happened. Corey came by the house to have me sign the back of the check that had more money on it than we've ever held in our hands at one time. The check from the buyers that said, "Your old house is our new house." We put the money in, and went out that evening to celebrate. We had already planned on going out to eat anyway. We had a gift certificate to one of the nicest places to eat in town, L'Auberge.
A creek side resort with dining right on the banks of Oak Creek. The babble of the water, the ducks floating by, the dappled sunlight dancing through the trees all came together to create a magical setting. It was truly an evening of celebration.
Now that we are cleared of having to pay our mortgage, and we have the added comfort of cash in the bank, maybe next time, I'll tip our cleaning lady the remainder of what was missed this week. I think we can swing an extra $20.00 now.
Cleaning Lady- $20.00
Balance this pay cycle-$6.00
Happy Spending!

Farewell Kevin – Tata Zest Long Term Review Final Report
With the Tigor set to launch later this month, it will be interesting to see how the Zest is placed / marketed in the company line-up here on.
The Tata Zest did not see as much action as it did previously on daily runs due to other machines in the RushLane garage as well as a lot of travel. However, when it did, it brought with it some festive cheer. The car managed to break its fuel efficiency jinx, with fuel consumption improving to the range of 11.9 to 12.2 kmpl in pure city traffic conditions.
I suspect this 'surge' in efficiency has to do with lesser engagement of the 'Sport' button (curses!), combined with more nimble use of the gas leg. The drive experience too changed, with the 1.2 Revotron petrol engine functioning a tad differently in the 'City' mode. We did resort to engaging the 'Eco' mode for a few seconds periodically, and the resultant lull in performance demanded too much driver input to keep the car lively in stop-go traffic situations.
Although, we gather the 'Eco' mode will bring the efficiency figures a kilometre or two per litre higher. And with 'cashless' being the theme these days, the extra distance on the same drop of fuel would have been really welcome. Running in and out of town this past month meant that we rarely drove it, however. So when we did, the joy of a no-nonsense drive experience in the chaotic lanes of Pune was very welcome. The braking, which seemed adequate earlier, now shows fade compounded by the wear on the tyres.
Something has to be said about the electricals on this vehicle though. While the Zest is blessed with a bright strip of day-time running LEDs (DRLs) surrounding either foglight on the bumper, its parking lamps are dull yellow single bulbs which give out lower lumens than a matchstick. Hence actual parking light duties have to be handed to the DRLs. What's up with that, Tata Motors?
Then there are its parking sensors with their double perfect 40/40 vision. Earlier this month, I was backing up the Zest into a roadside parking when the warning beeps suddenly turned to a scream. I got out to check, only to find that there was a small shrub popping out of the planter next to the parking area. But hey, the sensors' noise can be turned off with a convenient button on the centre console. Phew.
The Buzz Blue colour of our long-termer is a delight to watch, whether the Zest is in motion or stationary. But try leaving the car without a wash for any duration longer than a day. There are only two disparate stages of dust-gathering ability with this shade – washed in the morning, or recently dug up among pre-historic ruins. The colour still shines bright, having just completed 18,000 km on the odo and that is remarkable.
Summing it up, the Zest looks to be one of the minions from the 'Despicable Me' animated series – a googly-eyed, cheerful sidekick that falls over itself trying to bring a smile to the car driver's face. Add a few dashes of yellow to the Buzz Blue, and it might even look the part.
And so we bid farewell to our long-termer, Kevin.
Going into 2017, this Tata Motors product from 2014 is certainly a sign of times to come. Its loaded nature combined with a too-cute-to-care personality certainly brightens up one's day. With the launch of Tata Tigor imminent, we look forward to an even better rounded vehicle in the sub 4-metre compact sedan space from the Indian brand.
And these vehicles will have to work really hard as the segment is also competing with the growing mini-pseudo-utility vehicles (mini-PUVs) segment. Throwing in a couple more cup holders, a cubby hole or 2 can prove more of a task than it seems, or is it?

TORONTO – Schmidt Peterson Motorsports announced today that Verizon IndyCar Series veteran Sebastian Saavedra will drive the team's No. 7 Honda at this weekend's Honda Indy Toronto.
Saavedra has driven in 62 races in a Verizon IndyCar Series career that began in 2010, including this year's Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil, where he finished 15th for Juncos Racing. Mikhail Aleshin has driven the No. 7 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports entry in the first 11 races of the 2017, but missed the opening day of practice for the KOHLER Grand Prix on June 23 when visa issues prevented the Russian from re-entering the United States.
HONDA INDY TORONTO: Updated entry list
The statement from Schmidt Peterson Motorsports – co-owned by Sam Schmidt and Ric Peterson – added that Saavedra will have sponsorship support from longtime supporter Gary Peterson and AFS.
"We welcome the opportunity to compete with Ric and Sam at a venue where Seb and I have had great success in the past," Gary Peterson said.
Saavedra, 27, will be reunited this weekend with Blair Perschbacher, who was his race engineer in Indy Lights presented by Cooper Tires – the top level of the Mazda Road to Indy presented by Cooper Tires development ladder. The duo teamed to win the Indy Lights race at Toronto in 2010 with Andretti Autosport. Saavedra also finished second in the 2012 Indy Lights race at Toronto.
Saavedra's last Verizon IndyCar Series race on a temporary street course came at Toronto in 2015 when he drove for Chip Ganassi Racing and finished 16th. The Colombian's best finish on a street course was eighth place at Baltimore in 2013, when he drove for Dragon Racing.
Schmidt Peterson Motorsports said Aleshin will be at Toronto this weekend supporting the team, but neither he nor the team will be providing further comment.

Theatre critic loses discrimination claim against Express Newspapers
EXPRESS Newspapers today won a legal battle against a former freelance theatre critic.
Mark Shenton, who has been married to his civil partner for two years, had claimed that he had been unfairly dismissed, and that he had been discriminated against because of his sexual orientation.
In December 2013 a man identifying himself as a reader found explicit photographs of Mr Shenton on a gay website and sent the link to the Sunday Express.
There were real fears that this could harm the company's reputation and his services were terminated by the paper.
The tribunal found that Express Newspapers had not acted in a way that discriminated against Mr Shenton's sexuality.
It said that Express Newspapers "would have reacted the same way in respect of anyone in [Mr Shenton's] position... regardless of the person's sexual orientation".
They also found that as a freelance contributor to the paper he did not have grounds for unfair dismissal.
The Tribunal found that Mr Shenton was not an employee and therefore they had no jurisdiction to hear the claim for unfair dismissal.

It happened shortly after I published my last post. I was successfully doing homework (I was very productive that night) and had to print something. Unfortunately, my attempts at plugging in my printer resulted in me knocking over my bong, which was on the floor, on carpet.
After knocking it over, I let out a short gasp, then felt relieved when I only saw some water and glass on the floor.
It was then that I saw a shard or two of glass.
The gasp that came out of my mouth was quite ghastly and surprised and strained.
I felt miserable. The part that broke is the part that holds the stem up. Fortunately my bong is very usable still, even if I hadn't used a bandaid to fix it. I will buy super glue and attempt to piece this little gem back together.
It will be okay, it will be okay, I want to tell myself, as I rock my body back and forth and rub my hands together like someone coming off a coke binge (not that I would know what that feels like).
Anyway, I'm on an incredible sleep deficit right now. It happens every week. The past thirty days I have pulled at least 4-5 all nighters, if not more. If I am lucky, I can get more than 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night. No naps, either. It is completely miserable.
Typically I get one day a week of sleeping in, which is Saturday night to Sunday afternoon. I had a huge essay due today, so I straight read my books from 3 pm-2 am Monday night. Which is the night that I broke my sexy bong.
On Tuesday I woke up at 6 am after a four hour slumber because I had a hefty amount of Chinese homework due at 10. I did something pretentious and rather sophisticated, which was go to Peet's in the early AM. It was nice to be the youngest person there and feel comfortably invisible. All around me were older people having sophisticated talk. Three men nearby talked about the girlfriends of their younger lives. They were not vulgar at all. One man talked about how, no matter how fun a crazy, adventurous chick is, she will bore you after a few short years -- it is best to settle down with a nice girl. How nice! (I went to Starbucks today, by the way. Why is it that younger people hang out at Starbucks and older people hang out at Peet's?)
I had lunch with Felicia and went grocery shopping with her. Then we went to the library for god knows how long. I managed to finish both of my books and write an outline of my essay. I was so tired. My face felt like it was falling off and it was a real labor just to understand simple things. I was in bed by 12:30 am and felt as though I were about to have a psychological breakdown. My body hated me, but my mind was racing. It was the stress. I felt like screaming.
Fortunately I fell asleep, and my alarm woke me up at 4 am this morning. Writing my essay was painful, and I am disappointed in my quality of work because I know I could have done much better, and was forced to leave out much of what I had planned in my outline due to time constraints. So my essay probably seems messy, unfinished, and careless. But I turned it in.
I went to the bookstore to study (more like, I lost one of my books that I had bought for CHN 106, so I go to the bookstore and illegally study there by using their books). As I was walking among the shelves I felt incredibly sick. I felt lost in a white haze and felt my body starting to sway. Was I going to faint? I grabbed hold of one of the shelves and stood there for a good thirty seconds, allowing my body to come to. Then came incredible nausea. My head was pounding and had the strangest sensation. I don't really know how to describe it, except it felt like there was straight murk in my brain, swirling around in madness. I could almost hear it, it seemed.
I paid careful attention not to vomit on the girl in front of me, because I literally thought I was going to. I also felt utterly confused; I didn't know where to find my book. Skipping class was not an option as I had a mandatory quiz to take (quizzes sum up 50% of my class grade, and I am doing poorly in this class). Well, no, I'm not crazy. I realize that this dramatic effect on my health is enough reason not to go to class, quiz or no quiz. But I sat down after finding my book and started feeling much better and more normal. I ended up going to class and it wasn't horrible. I don't regret going.
I went home and slept, not setting an alarm, but woke up at 7, rather disappointed as I had only been asleep for 4 hours, and couldn't fall back asleep. That was fine though, as I am now awake since then and have plenty of schoolwork to do by tomorrow. I feel good, despite a pounding headache. I will try to get more sleep tonight.
I realize that this post was quite boring and rather pointless. However, I suppose I'm trying to cognitively tell myself I need to plan things better. I could benefit from utilizing my weekends better. At the same time, I feel I deserve to have some fun on the weekend. I could also work less, but I really don't work that much anyway, and I really need the $$$.
I've already decided not to do my internship this quarter. I can hardly fit it into my schedule anyway, so that makes sense. It also seems as though I won't be able to do my triathlon in April. At first, this idea killed me, but after the past few insufferable weeks, I think this is only fair to my body and mind. I can't afford to train right now, although I will try to hit the gym when I can still, or else I will go BONKERS.
I'd like to think my body and mind can endure anything, but in truth I'm only human and need to take myself less seriously!! Really, though, I looked utterly horrible today. I looked like Satan. I have never seen myself look so ugly. My skin was fucked up, blotchy, and dehydrated looking and my eyes were red. My hair looked drab. My mind, in a haze.
We are mid-quarter already, and the quarter is only going to get more lethal. I have finals in a month. That idea is crazy to me. I only have one more year of college left, but it seems I still haven't adjust to the insane quarter system.
I was so psyched to take humanities only courses this quarter, but I find that these classes are keeping me even more busy than the math/science classes I used to take. (This makes sense due to the insane amount of reading and writing I have to do for COM 135, but also because I care so much more this quarter about my grades and my major than I ever did about science and math.)
So I am tired and undernourished, sleeping in 2 to 4 hour cycles, and as a result, unhappy and agitated. Still confused about my future, still a pothead. Whatever, I will get over it. Resilience is key, bouncing back and proving yourself wrong is crucial. (Do you sense a contradiction here? I do.)
I am choosing my classes for next quarter tomorrow, and will be more careful in my planning.

About Dale G. Leathers
Dale G. Leathers, who died unexpectedly in May of 1997, was a respected scholar, teacher, and leader within the field of communication studies. Among other leadership posts, Professor Leathers served as President of the Southern States Communication Association, as Head of the Department of Speech Communication at the University of Georgia, and as the 78th President of the National Communication Association in 1992 (NCA, then known as SCA). His particular vision during his Presidency and service on the NCA Administrative Committee was to facilitate outreach of U.S. communication scholars and teachers to international colleagues, especially those residing in nations in which the field of speech communication was not yet well understood or developed. He devoted his most intense efforts to promoting communication studies in the nations of the Russian Federation, since he was convinced that to do so would nurture the slender foothold democracy had achieved among the peoples of those lands. Toward that end, Professor Leathers was able to visit Russia on two occasions, the second time as co-Chair of the First International Communication Research Colloquium. At the time of his death, Professor Leathers was editing the proceedings of that conference for joint publication in Russian and English. As a proper and fitting memorial to the life and work of Dale G. Leathers, therefore, this fund to promote communication studies in emerging democracies is established.
