This is the first time I write a restaurant review only because this place was so bad that the world needs to know. I unfortunately do not have pictures of the food or place because I didn't think I'd be writing this, but some of the links below do have them.
I don't consider myself a "foodie" ...I don't eat out often because I'm vegetarian/pescetarian. I also like simple food, I could eat bean and cheese burritos for the rest of my life and I'd be happy (plus horchata hehe), so I don't get too excited about gourmet restaurants. I'm also horrible at buffets because I have a small stomach since I've conditioned it to have 4 small meals throughout the day. Anyways, my point is that maybe I am not 100% qualified to be writing restaurant reviews. But when it comes to Mexican cuisine, well, I do have strong opinions.
Before anyone thinks that I'm being biased may be right, duh I'm Mexican, I KNOW Mexican food, I grew up eating it every day at home. However, I also do understand fusion cuisine. I actually have had all types of fusion cuisines: Mexican-Korean, Tex-Mex-Korean, French-Mexican, Italian-Mexican, and Americanized Mexican, and I have found some pretty decent stuff that I've found myself going back to every once in a while, so I am not bashing the restaurant for being fusion.
So here it goes...
I've tried many other "Mexican" places in Korea (fusion and non fusion), but I have to say that this place has been the worst. First of all, this place is advertised as "Better Than Authentic"...not even close to what I would call authentic even for Mexican food in Korea, and that's saying something. It really bothers me that it's obviously fusion cuisine, but they are using an utter lie as their tag phrase ...the shame!
We started with a gorgonzola quesadilla as an appetizer. When it arrived, I noticed it had some brown pieces of something I right away thought it was chicken, but it turned out to be walnuts, wait wait wait, walnuts in a quesadilla? Ew! Plus it came with three dipping sauces one of which was honey. Again ew, big ew. I'm all for trying new things (french fries dipped in ice cream anyone?), but this was just plain nasty.
As my main dish, I ordered the paprika cream veggie enchiladas which was basically a dry Spanish rice burrito covered in an ok tasting sauce (who uses flour tortillas for enchiladas?). It came with a side of canned beans, yes I could tell they were canned! My friend ordered the kimchi fries which were the biggest disappointment of the night. And not because the fusion was bad, but because there was barely any kimchi! It tasted like chilli fries. Go figure it was the Korean side they messed up on. We even asked the waiter if they got the order correct because there was no kimchi in the kimchi fries and he said, "Yes, it's kimchi sauce" ...lies! We also had shrimp tacos which were not served until we reminded them about the order. Shrimp tacos are not rocket science, but I guess for their chefs it is because they were awful ...just a reminder people, the shrimp is supposed to be deep fried not soaked in some weird sauce ...grill them at least please. They did give us complementary chips and salsa for bringing the tacos late. But after a quesadilla, an enchilada, and half a taco, we were too full for them, a drink would've been better.
Now for the good things about the place. The highlight of the place were the drinks. We had the orange upside down Corona margarita, which for 10 bucks wasn't bad. Also, we had a nice table next to the window where we had a nice view of the Cheonggyecheon Stream.
The atmosphere of the place was very cold with American pop music in the background. Maybe I'm just used to Mexican restaurants having more of a cozy vibe to them.
To summarize don't waste your money here. If you want Mexican-ish food, go to Dos Tacos which is on the same street; atmosphere and food are much better, not authentic, but good for whatever they are trying to do.
Funny thing by the way. I've looked up other reviews (review #1, review #2, review #3) about this restaurant and they all rave about it. Ugh! Someone needs to check their taste buds.

Meet TankMore About Me...
Tri Color Greater Swiss Mountain Dog/Boxer mix
Age: 1 year 15 weeks
House Trained: Yes
Good with Kids: Yes Over 6
Good with Cats: Unsure
Good with Dogs: Yes
Tank is a 10 month old, 57 lb Greater Swiss Mountain Dog/Boxer mix. He is super handsome, and has a happy, enthusiastic temperament. Tank loves kids, but because of his size and strength, we are recommending homes with kids over the age of 6. He also loves playing with other dogs, but his playfulness may annoy older, more sedate dogs. He is crate trained, and sleeps through the night in his crate. He rides well in a car, and he usually sits in the backseat floorboard. He loves chewing any kind of rawhide bones, rope toys (playing tug of war), or chasing after balls. He currently eats a grain free dry kibble and has a good appetite. He loves to eat from a Kong toy with the food inside and a little peanut butter on the outside. Tank likes to go on walks, but due to his size and strength, he will do better with a harness or gentle leader. He has been to obedience training and knows several commands, but he is still a puppy, so that training needs to be reinforced on a consistent basis. Tank will be an awesome companion for some lucky adopter!

How to discern the potential of a start-up
On March 31, in Digital October Center took place a lecture by Richard Kivel - one of the best innovative managers in the world.
He spoke about commercializing the technology, evaluating international potential of a start-up, searching partners abroad and creating effective innovative ecosystem. All of the above was complemented by examples of successes and failures from entrepreneurship contest MIT 100K.
Richard Kivel participated in creating several successful companies in IT and life sciences. He is a President of MIT Enterprise Forum, Senior Professor of the Sloan School of Management and he was included in "40 under 40" list (40 the most successful people in USA in the age under 40) because of a number of successfully launched biotechnological startups.
Currently Richard is a chairman of the board and CEO of Rhapsody Biologics, a company with offices in USA and Singapore specializing on vaccine development.
Richard frequently gives lectures at MIT and serves for the committee of MIT 100K entrepreneurship contest. Thus he has a lot of real examples how contest winners often do not become a super company, while "undervalued" contestants turn out to be quite successful.

patterns > Accessory After the Fact and 2 more...
> Interrupted Swirl Hat
Interrupted Swirl Hat
The Interrupted Swirl Hat is companion to my Interrupted Swirl Mitts. Both use the same main pattern as appears in my Swirl sock pattern, one of my most popular.
The hat is one size fits most, but the pattern is also highly customizable simply by adding or reducing stitches in the ribbing sections on either side of the swirl motif.
Two skeins of Indigodragonfly Merino Silk 4 ply sock yarn will be enough to create both the hat and mitts as written. One skein will provide generous yardage for the hat.
The merino/silk blend adds a delicate shine and feel of luxury to an elegant set of accessories. Swirl will take you easily from winter to spring. Silk has the wonderful ability to keep you comfortable and cool in spring and warm in winter.
Sizes: One size fits most. Hat is 10" across at the brim and approximately 8" from cast on edge to tip, blocked and laid flat.
Approximately 430 yards (393m) of Indigodragonfly Merino Silk 4 ply sock yarn (1 skein= 430yd/393m per 3oz/100g), or similar. Sample knit in "Türtljägr: For When Frögschläger Just Won't Do" colorway.
1 set of 5 US #2 (3 mm) double-point or circular needles for the brim, US#3 (3.25mm) for the body of the hat, or size needles required to obtain gauge.
Tapestry needle, cable needle (optional), stitch marker

Thermal Imaging
Thermal Cameras for Building Diagnostics
911FLOOD, is a Property Damage /
Disaster Restoration Company that services Long Island, Queens, Brooklyn,
Bronx, Westchester and New York City.
What is Infrared?
Thermography and Infrared Light
Infrared light or thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to "see" and "measure" thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye; it's the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes, emit infrared.
Infrared Imaging
The higher the object's temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot. Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective, valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. And as industry strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve product quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for infrared cameras continually emerge.

Ref: CHB/HB/032/15
This week CHB health bulletin explores how you can help your child and yourself cope with the diagnosis of Autism.
We're waiting to hear from you. Do you have a child that suffers from Autism? A family friend? A relative? This can help others.
Tell us your experiences, confidentiality shall be strictly abided by.
If you've recently learned that your child has or might have an autism spectrum disorder, you're probably wondering and worrying about what comes next. You are probably feeling baffled and overwhelmed. No parent is ever prepared to hear that a child is anything other than happy and healthy, and a diagnosis of autism can be particularly frightening.
Some tips for coping with the diagnosis and helping your child according to http://www.helpguide.org/articles/autism/helping-children-with-autism.htm are as follows:
- Be consistent. Children with autism have a hard time adapting what they've learned in one setting (such as the therapist's office or school) to others, including the home. For example, your child may use sign language at school to communicate, but never think to do so at home. Creating consistency in your child's environment is the best way to reinforce learning. Find out what your child's therapists are doing and continue their techniques at home.
- Stick to a schedule. Children with autism tend to do best when they have a highly-structured schedule or routine. Again, this goes back to the consistency they both need and crave. Set up a schedule for your child, with regular times for meals, therapy, school, and bedtime. Try to keep disruptions to this routine to a minimum. If there is an unavoidable schedule change, prepare your child for it in advance.
- Reward good behavior. Positive reinforcement can go a long way with children with autism, so make an effort to "catch them doing something good." Praise them when they act appropriately or learn a new skill, being very specific about what behavior they're being praised for. Also look for other ways to reward them for good behavior, such as giving them a sticker or letting them play with a favorite toy.
Connecting with a child with autism can be challenging, but you don't need to talk in order to communicate and bond. You communicate by the way you look at your child, the way you touch him or her, and by the tone of your voice and your body language. Your child is also communicating with you, even if he or she never speaks. You just need to learn the language.
- Look for nonverbal cues. Pay attention to the kinds of sounds they make, their facial expressions, and the gestures they use when they're tired, hungry, or want something.
- Figure out the need behind the tantrum. It's only natural to feel upset when you are misunderstood or ignored, and it's no different for children with autism. When children with autism act out, it's often because you're not picking up on their nonverbal cues.
- Make time for fun. A child coping with autism is still a kid. For both children with autism and their parents, there needs to be more to life than therapy. Play is an essential part of learning and shouldn't feel like work.
- Pay attention to your child's sensory sensitivities. Many children with autism are hypersensitive to light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Other children with autism are "under-sensitive" to sensory stimuli. Figure out what sights, sounds, smells, movements, and tactile sensations trigger your kid's "bad" or disruptive behaviors and what elicits a positive response. What does your autistic child find stressful? Calming? Uncomfortable? Enjoyable? If you understand what affects your child, you'll be better at troubleshooting problems, preventing situations that cause difficulties, and creating successful experiences.
Your child's treatment should be tailored according to his or her individual needs. You know your child best, so it's up to you to make sure those needs are being met. You can do that by asking yourself the following questions:
- What are my child's strengths?
- What are my child's weaknesses?
- What behaviors are causing the most problems?
- What important skills is my child lacking?
- How does my child learn best (through seeing, listening, or doing)?
- What does my child enjoy and how can those activities be used in treatment?
Finally, keep in mind that no matter what autism treatment plan is chosen, your involvement is vital to success. You can help your child get the most out of treatment by working hand-in-hand with the autism treatment team and following through with the therapy at home.
Caring for a child with an autism spectrum disorder can demand a lot of energy and time. There may be days when you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or discouraged. Parenting isn't ever easy, and raising a child with special needs is even more challenging. In order to be the best parent you can be it's essential that you take care of yourself.
Don't try to do everything on your own. You don't have to! There are many places that families of autistic kids can turn to for advice, a helping hand, advocacy, and support.

Solving the Algae Problem
Algae on the surface of the topping mix can now become a problem. You will see algae as a greenish crust on the wet soil surface between the plants. If left unchecked, it will put a girdle around the plants and suppress their growth. I try to overcome this using the simple method shown in the photo below.
The top dressing of coarse stones prevents algae from growing on the wet surface of the potting mix. In this photograph, the surface of the topping mix where the algae was starting to form, has been covered with a few mm. of coarse beach grit. This will make it too dark for the algae to survive.
Choosing the Particle Size
The particle size for this grit is crucial. If it is too fine, it will remain constantly moist by capillary action from below or by water being sprayed onto the seedlings from above. It will then grow its own fine crop of algae and nothing will have been achieved. It needs to be a size that is normally dry even when the lid is fitted, but small enough not to overpower the delicate seedlings. I use the beach grit, but if I had not discovered it, I would have been looking what was available in agricultural stores for bird grit, swimming pool stores for coarse filter sand, etc
Note: The downside to this grit topping is that you can not see how wet the growing medium is.

Recently, I attended an event where someone I admire and respect was speaking. He's one of my favorite leaders and typically a dynamic speaker, so when he took the stage, my notebook was open, pen in hand, and I was ready to be blown away by his insights. I listened, took a few notes, and thought it was pretty good. But for some reason, I walked away feeling disappointed. I couldn't put my finger on where he missed it this time, but it just fell flat.
Later, I was with a friend who attended the same event, so I asked him, "Was it just me, or did he miss the mark today?" My friend's response created a perfect mental picture of precisely what I'd been feeling. He said, "Yes, a lot of the content was good, but he took us on a merry-go-round, and we were hoping to go on a roller coaster."
I had never heard that metaphor before, but he was exactly right.
Think about it: if you're on a merry-go-round, you're there for one of two reasons. Either you're there with a child, or you're on a first date. (If you're an adult and enjoy merry-go-rounds on your own, that's definitely weird.) Merry-go-rounds are predictable. You hop on; the music starts; the carousel starts moving; and it goes in the same direction, at the same speed, the entire time. It will never speed up, turn around, stop abruptly, or change directions—you know exactly what you're getting.
A roller coaster, however, is different. When you ride a roller coaster, there's anticipation before the first plunge, inflection of speed and height as you ride, and emotional highs and lows throughout the twists and turns of the track.
We should apply these same three things to give speeches, create experiences, and make moments that are memorable.
1. Anticipation
Almost all roller coasters begin the same. They hit the track from the loading zone, and you hear the click, click, click of the cars climbing the chain up the first hill. The incline steepens, the noise of the ride gets louder, and your vision of the sky against the track builds your excitement for that first plunge. People love to feel anticipation. Sometimes, the build up to an experience is the best part. Krispy Kreme does this well for their customers. When you see that the hot sign is on, there's a gravitational pull of your car into their parking lot. You anticipate that warm, sweet, perfect donut that will melt in your mouth before you even turn on your blinker.
2. Inflection
Roller coaster rides are exciting because your position is constantly changing. You're up and down hills, around circles, upside down, right-side up, moving extremely fast or extremely slow to build dramatic effect. Whether you're creating a customer experience, an event, or a speech, how do you create levels of excitement? When speaking, you can elevate your voice or get softer to emphasize a point. You can add various components to your event to engage your audience. Sometimes, it's getting people out of their seats, or simply changing the medium you're using to deliver your message. If we are intentional, we can use inflection to create exciting experiences and events.
3. Emotion
How do you feel when you ride a merry-go-round? About the same throughout unless you're feeding off the emotion of another person—the joy of a child or the laughter of a first date. Often, riders high five each other when they get off a roller coaster because it created an emotional experience they want to share even after it's over. In the same way, we want to create experiences that leave people feeling so excited, challenged, and empowered that they want to share it with other people.
When you build anticipation, use inflection, and evoke emotion, you've created something special that people will remember and remark about.
When you build anticipation, use inflection, and evoke emotion, you've created something special that people will remember and remark about. @KevinPaulScott
Try to add one, two, or all three of these elements into the next experience you're creating.
Whether you're leading a meeting at work, teaching a Sunday School class, planning a birthday party, or giving a speech, think of ways you can make it more of a roller coaster ride than a merry-go-round.

The Music4.5 "Brand Discovery" event yesterday was well attended and provided some lively debate on the complex issues that brands face when partnering with music tech companies.
There were some compelling presentations, and you can follow the story on the Music4.5 twitter feed.
The whole session was superbly moderated by Cliff Fluet of Lewissilkin who kept the discussion flowing with targeted and provocative questions.
I participated on the final panel entitled "How to get these deals away and where they fall over". You can see the slide show here.
The panel discussion sought to examine the "hard" commercial truths which are often ignored amid the "soft" issues of social media statistics. Essentially, how will the partners monetize the relationship and where are the risks that could scupper that objective?
My recommendation is that preparation is everything if brands are to choose the right partners and establish enduring and profitable relationships in the music space. This necessitates that both parties ask tough questions of themselves and potential partners. The slides provide some example questions which I hope will be useful.
My thanks to Petra Johansson and Rassami Hok Ljungberg of Music4.5 for setting up a great event with an interesting mix of attendees.

An Ames Neurologist has received the Distinguished Service Award from the Iowa Medical Society, the highest honor given by the organization.
An Ames Neurologist has received the Distinguished Service Award from the Iowa Medical Society, the highest honor given by the organization.
Dr. Michael Kitchell received the award recently at the IMS�s annual meeting in Coralville in recognition of his outstanding support and commitment to organized care, the IMS said in a news release this week.
Kitchell is a neurologist at McFarland Clinic.
He served as president of the Iowa Medical Society from 2009 to 2010, and current is an IMS delegate to the American Medical Association.
Kitchell is respected nationally for his knowledge of Medicare and pay for value efforts that seek to reward states for delivering high quality health care, said past IMS President Robert Lee.
Kitchell has worked to educate lawmakers and others about Medicare physician payment and the affect of health care reform, Lee said.
�His testimony before congressional committees, the Institute of Medicine and the American Medical Association has made him a trusted advocate on these issues,� Lee said.
The IMS also honored Dr. Robert Gitchell with its 2013 Merit Award.
Gitchell was an orthopedic surgeon at McFarland Clinic for more than 30 years until his retirement in 2004. He died in December.
The award was presented to Gitchell�s wife Debbie at the IMS�s annual meeting.

It is safe to say that makeup has definitely evolved throughout the years. There are now so many different products, methods and tricks that people use that can transform your face and enhance your beauty. Contouring is possibly my favourite part of makeup in general. It is great that we have foundation to help our skin look flawless, concealer to help hide those little blemishes that we like to keep on the down low and blushes to add that little flush of colour. But at times, us girls with less prominent facial features can struggle with that flat face syndrome. When things look a little 2D and there's not a lot of definition going on.
As much as I love contouring, it is by far the most overwhelming experience that I have endured on my makeup journey. There are so many different techniques, products and ways of application. When things go right, boy can the results be gorgeous! But when things go bad it can be a mess, and I should know this as I have had many experiences with a bad contour. Not to worry though! I am coming at you with a Beginners Guide to Contouring including great products, simple techniques, great application tools and just some seriously easy tips to create that contour that you crave! I have learned that it is only complicated if you make it! Keep it simple and you will be well away!
Things You Need To Know!
When it comes to contouring there are certain factors you need to know, rules if you like..
1. The purpose of contouring…
So contouring is a technique in which you can sculpt out your features to give your face more definition. For example: the cheekbones, forehead, nose and jawline. Not all of these things need to be contoured however, contouring is to make certain areas look smaller or more pushed back. So you would contour your nose if you had a larger nose and you aren't comfortable with it, or you would contour your jawline if it is not as prominent and you want that Angelina Jolie jawline!
2. Your contour shade needs to be matte…
Any shimmer in your contour colour will reflect the light and highlight those areas. It will completely defeat the object of contouring in the first place, so make sure you pick up a matte contour shade and you will be well away!
3. Match your undertone…
Just like foundation, when you buy it you need to match your undertone. If you are pale with a pink undertone then you would need a powder/cream contour shade with that same contour undertone so that it doesn't look too orange on your skin. A lot of products now have a grey/cool undertone to them, which is great as it will work with most skin colours, and they give the perfect 'shadow' effect.
4. Picking your shade…
Picking the shade is probably the most overwhelming thing. I wasn't sure how dark I should go and that is a problem with many new makeup users. Lots of photo's that demonstrate contouring show really dark colours that are about ten shades darker than their skin type. This is not the case however. You should go for maybe 3/4 shades darker than your skin type and you will be fine!
Bargain Products For Beginners That Won't Break The Bank!
So I have picked out a few starter products for any beginners that need help with contouring. These are all bargain buys or 'drugstore' products and each one costs no more than £10. These products are also all powders, cream contouring is a little bit harder in my opinion, and I don't think you can go wrong with powders!
Sleek Makeup Contour Kit
This is one of my personal favourites, but I use it more as a bronzer than a contour colour simply for the warm undertone. It is a great little palette however for someone who has a warm undertone and the highlight in this palette is to die for! It comes in three shades: Light, Medium and Dark.
Mabelline Face Master Sculpt
This is another great little palette as it comes with a highlight shade as well as a lovely cool contouring colour. Not to mention it says what colour does what, can it get simpler? I think not! This product comes in two shades: Light/Medium and Medium/Dark.
Revolution Ultra Bronze
This is such a great little bargain, for a lovely big bronzer! It is not as much of a warm undertone bronzer so this works for me as a contour colour, maybe it will for you too! For £3 this is definitely one of my most bargain buys.
Revolution Mono Eye Shadows – Mocha Love
Yes my friends, you heard me right! An eye shadow? Well individual eyeshadows are great as you can pick what ever colour you like! I picked up this ashy matte brown colour from revolution a few weeks ago and honestly this is my most used product for contouring. The great things about these are that they come in good sized pans! You can easily fit your brush into the product and as it is an eye shadow it blends like a dream. The best bit? These Mono Eye Shadows cost me £1!! One single pound for a great contour colour, if that's not a bargain I don't know what is!
Gosh Natural Blush – Rose Whisper
A blush, really? I know! Believe it or not when I was shopping a couple of months ago I was on the hunt for a more pink undertoned contour colour. This product caught my eye as next to the other blushes in the Gosh Natural Blush Collection, this one looked very taupe.. It's all about trial and error people! So I picked one up and I was quite surprised. In all fairness yes it was a little bit too pink undertoned for me, yet it still gave me a really soft contour! I do actually use this quite a bit, when I want a quick soft contour/blush when I'm on the move!
Have The Right Tools For The Job!
In my opinion there are three fool-proof brushes to create your perfect contour. A large fan brush, A flat top buffer brush and an Angled contour/face brush.
MUA Flat Top Buffer Brush – £5. This little beauty is perfect for a more defined contour and a more dramatic one. It is very dense, so be careful not to apply to much product.
Eco Tools Fan Brush – £7. When I started makeup, a fan brush was all I used to use. My fan brush came in a set that my dad bought me, so I don't actually know the make or price but Eco Tools do a great one. It blends beautifully, and it isn't too dense so you get a lovely soft contour.
Urban Beauty United (UBU) Angled Blush Brush – £5. I got this brush from Tesco whilst I was browsing, and I bought it specifically for contouring. I love this brush! It is very dense so you have to be careful and apply small amounts and build it up but it is a great little fluffy brush, and the angle really helps give a more defined contour!
Get Your Killer Contour On…
Once you have everything you need, the rest is pretty simple. I usually do a really soft contour so I apologize that the camera didn't pick up on it so well! So the main places to contour are:
- The hollows of the cheekbones – the best rule for this I have found is to blend your product from the top of your ear to the corner of your mouth, yet stopping as you hit the outer corner of your eye. If you want that killer contour, then you can take it down further to get super sculpted cheeks. Another tip is to ALWAYS blend up! Blending your product down will make everything look droopy and sad-like. Blending up will lift your face! :)
- The forehead – this is super simple. If you have a smaller forehead then you probably won't need to contour it! If you have a larger forehead then I would contour the temples and the top of the forehead to make everything look shorter.. or smaller.
- The jawline – all you need to do is take a little bit of product and run it just underneath your jaw.. this will give the effect that everything is pushed back so that your jaw is more prominent.
- The nose – I personally hate contouring my nose. It just doesn't do anything for me except look heavy! If you do want to contour your nose however, you just need to run some product down either side of the bridge, joining it to your brows and connecting it at the tip. Make sure you blend!!!
- The bottom lip – This one is a little trick that you by no means have to do! I just love doing it. If you get a little brush and some of your preferred product and run it under your bottom lip, it creates a shadow making your bottom lip look fuller. Pair that with a lovely highlight to the cupids bow and you have a lovely full set of lips!
These are the basics of contouring, I have added this photo from Google to show you contouring for your specific face shape, I hope it helps!!
& There we have it folks! Such a simple little guide to contouring! I hope you enjoyed, please let me know your favourite products as I am always looking for new things to try out!
Until Next Time..
B xoxo

The Ultimate in Mini Skateboards Penny has made a name for itself for building quality boards with a smooth ride. Keep checking back for new colours...
Penny Skateboards are the ultimate in Retro Skateboards. They are the Original Cruiser and it's tough to find any other model that comes anywhere near to beating them.
Founded in Australia by at skateboarder called Ben Mackay, the design of the Penny Skateboard is based on the first board Ben ever rode back in the 80's. Becoming absolutely hooked on boarding from the age of 5, over thirty years later Ben felt it was time to bring retro cruisers back to life with the beauty of modern design techniques.
With over 10 years experience in skateboard manufacturing Penny know exactly what it takes to make top quality boards. The aim was to design a durable, fast and super responsive skateboard that rides well and is ultimately FUN!
With the rising success of Penny within the skateboard market we can confirm that it's 'Mission Accomplished'!
Penny Models Explained:
Penny Original Skateboard
The classic skateboard which comes in a variety of fluoro colours with clashing trucks and wheels. The deck is 22" x 6", with 3" wide performance branded Penny Trucks including 87A super soft yellow brushings. The 78A urethane cored super smooth Penny wheels are 59mm in size, with Abec 7 high speed precision stainless steel bearings. High tensile bolts are also used.
Penny Marbles
A new twist, the classic set up but with an awesome marble effect deck offering a completely different look with the added bonus of no two decks ever having the same marble pattern.
Penny Organic
With a biodegradable deck that eventually breaks down when completely immersed in soil, the Penny Organic is for the more planet conscious amongst us. However don't let that fool you into thinking this board won't cut the mustard because until the day you bury it this board will last as long as you can.
Muted colour boards for the ultimate retro look, all boards come with a free hessian carry bag.
Penny just got bigger, the Penny Nickel is the 27" version of the Original for those seeking a larger deck.
Worth a note - All solid colour Penny Boards are made out of a solid colour material therefore will stay the same colour through wear and tear. However boards like the fade series are hand painted so over time with use the paint will begin to wear off leaving the unique story of your ride!

The draft wetland rules, rules summary, wetland rules FAQs, draft BMPs, public input session schedule and public comment collection sheets may be found here.
By News release
Concord, NH – Today, Governor Chris Sununu and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Commissioner Bob Scott announced the release of a draft revision of the New Hampshire Wetlands rules, the first complete rewrite of the rules since 1991. To overhaul the rules, NHDES worked closely with partner organizations, stakeholders, and concerned citizens to obtain significant public feedback on the development of wetland rule concepts, strategies, and process.
Since 2014, NHDES hosted over 100 listening sessions, stakeholder workgroup sessions, partner meetings and presentations. NHDES heard from landowners, road agents, utility providers, loggers, foresters, engineers, conservation commissioners, industry and business, septic designers, general contractors, wetland scientists, conservation organizations, farmers, regional planning commissions, marine contractors, legislators, teachers, local, state, and federal officials and received hundreds of public comments.
"Streamlining New Hampshire's regulatory framework is a key priority of my administration," said Governor Chris Sununu. "These efforts are the most comprehensive overhaul of wetlands rules in over 25 years, and represent a major step toward a more citizen-centered State Government."
The NHDES wetland rules regulate the following type of resources: wetlands, surface waters (lakes, ponds), watercourses (streams, rivers), shorelines, vernal pools, prime wetlands, coastal lands, and tidal waters. Example projects impacted by these rules include: beaches, docks, boathouses, wall construction, riprap, bank stabilization, forestry, utility, agriculture, trails, dredging, filling, residential and commercial development, and roadway construction.
"By listening to our stakeholders on ways to improve the wetland rules, we can reduce many of the issues that arise during the permit process – therefore making it more streamlined, predictable, and transparent for both the applicant and NHDES," said Bob Scott, NHDES Commissioner.
The draft wetland rules propose over 50 new definitions to provide clarity and consistency, shorten the review time for lower scrutiny approvals and expand the number of projects that qualify for streamlined review, including stream crossing projects. The new rules clarify permit processes, project classification, standard conditions, avoidance, minimization, and mitigation requirements, and application review standards. The draft rules also provide significant changes to the coastal rules and updates to the prime wetland rules.
NHDES is now accepting public comments on the draft wetlands rules. NHDES will be hosting 5 public input sessions in the following locations:
- Concord: February 26, 2018
- Portsmouth: February 28, 2018
- Laconia: March 1, 2018
- Keene: March 5, 2018
- Lancaster: March 7, 2018
The draft wetland rules, rules summary, wetland rules FAQs, draft BMPs, public input session schedule and public comment collection sheets may be found here.
The NHDES public comment deadline on the draft rules is April 20, 2018.

NetVision has heard from its customers loud and clear that the holy grail of compliance reporting is enabling actual answers rather than just piles of data. In this SC Magazine article, titled Answers, Not Data: The Key to Access Security, NetVision CEO David Rowe explains how next generation compliance solutions will be focused on answers and continuous audit rather than periodic audits that generate confusing or obfuscated data sets.

Continuous Audit
In this article from CFO magazine, the author discusses the value of Continuous Audit. He tells the story of Harrah's Entertainment and their 24×7 approach to audit. One interesting quote:
Increasingly, though, individual practitioners see the cutting edge as auditing 100% of data relating to transactions, processes, policies, or whatever else is to be audited, rather than reviewing small samplings at longer intervals, as many organizations still do
You might be thinking easier said than done. But getting back to the original point, with Continuous Audit, 100% sample is actually easily accomplished because every relevant event can be parsed through a policy filter and flagged when appropriate.
NetVision has recognized the value of Continuous Audit for more than a decade. We believe there are two sides to an effective audit program – (1) current state assessment and (2) real-time monitoring. And we hear from our customers that (like Harrah's) they see real value in including real-time monitoring. Putting Continuous Audit in place makes compliance audits move quicker and cost less. …not to mention the obvious benefits to security.

In light of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, where an app developer was able to sell your personal Facebook data to a research firm that helped Donald Trump win the election, Facebook has (and still is) taking some major league heat on this; and, rightfully so. As a result of this scandal, Facebook has vowed to become more transparent on how they use our personal information. Following the news on this, Facebook users became very concerned and wanted to know how to download their Facebook data.
With that out of the way, how do I download my data from Facebook?
The easiest way is to click the link below or enter the following web address in your browser:
Note: You can also get to the settings by clicking on the small "downward facing triangle or arrow", at the top right corner, on any of your facebook pages (after you log in).
Then, simply click on "Download a copy of your Facebook data"… After which, the following will appear where you then click on "Start My Archive".
After you click on "Start My Archive" you will be prompted to enter your Facebook password.
Once the password is accepted, you will receive a notice on the screen advising that an email will be sent to the email address you registered with Facebook with instructions to complete the download.
When you receive the email, you can click on a link (in the email) that will take you back to the "Download Archive" page, where you will once again click on the "Download Archive" button, enter your Facebook Password, at which point you will be prompted to save the download.
The downloaded data will be contained within a "zip" file. A zip file is one file that contains many files and you should be able to open the "zip file" by double clicking on it, to see the contents. If you fail to download the data within a few day, you will have to repeat this process. The file size for the data will be large and may take time, so be patient.
Once the data is downloaded, open the file and click on the file named "index" to navigate the downloaded data. You will be shocked and surprised at everything that has been collected.
Maybe, "Big Brother" is watching…

By Tony Cozier
In Port-of-Spain
Given the record at the Queen's Park Oval, Joey Carew's pronouncement that there will "most definitely" be an outright result in the decisive fifth Digicel Test starting today was simply stating the obvious.
There hasn't been a draw there for 10 Tests, since 1997 when Navjot Singh Sidhu, the Indian opener, dug in for eleven and a quarter hours over Test cricket's second most tedious double-hundred. In his later incarnation as garrulous television commentator, he would have suitably maligned it with a few of the quirky phrases for which he was renowned.
Only one Test since the turn of the 21st century has yielded anything like the recent run gluts on the bowling torture chambers that were the Antigua Recreation Ground and Kensington Oval. Those batsmen who rejoiced in those conditions won't be so cosseted here.
The exception to the recent rule was Australia's 576 for four declared in 2003 but that was amassed against an attack as feeble as any ever to appear at Test level.
Picked by a panel of whom Carew was chairman, it contained three accredited bowlers, Merv Dillon, Pedro Collins and Vasbert Drakes, with laughable back up from batsmen Marlon Samuels, Dave Bernard (in his solitary Test), Ramnaresh Sarwan and Wavell Hinds.
The West Indies reply of 408 featured the second hundred in succession by, yes, Daren Ganga. Yet they still managed to lose.
While results here are not difficult to forecast, how they are achieved is anything but.
Gone are the days when Abed Ali, the little Indian medium-pacer, skidded the very first ball of the 1971 Test under Roy Fredericks bat to hit the base of the middle-stump, a true zandolee, as it's known locally after an especially slithery lizard. Or even 27 years on when Carl Hooper's off-spinner did the same to Nasser Hussein in England's second innings.
The ground's DNA is unlike any other in the Caribbean.
Its first six Tests, over 24 years, were played on coir matting since a small insect in the soil made it impossible to prepare proper natural pitches. After four successive, high-scoring draws (the last was West Indies 681 for eight declared, England 537 in 1954) the square was dug up and turf brought in from the south of the island.
The difference was not instant. In the first Test on the newly laid surface, a draw in 1955, Clyde Walcott made hundreds in each innings, Everton Weekes one and the first three in Australia's order, Colin McDonald, Arthur Morris and Neil Harvey, responded with hundreds of their own in a total of 600.
As the square gradually settled, the cricket became better balanced until its inevitable deterioration from wear and tear. It became a spinners' paradise yet slower and slower – and, in the case of Fredericks and others, lower and lower.
By the mid-1970s it was clear that new turf was needed to replace the tired original that had been there for quarter-century. It is a process necessarily repeated in recent times.
Add to the mix Trinidad's higher humidity, compared to the smaller islands to the north, and often additional rainfall, such as this season, and conditions at Queen's Park are as varied and exciting – and as different to the rest of the Caribbean – as the island itself.
With the notable exception of the 1991 Test, when an especially wet period preceding the match yielded a spiteful green-top and a three-day result (Australia 128 and 105, West Indies 136 and 98 for one), there has been a proper balance producing proper cricket – but never predictable.
As they consider their final selections this morning, neither camp can be sure whether pace or spin will hold sway or what to do on winning the toss (the ratio in the seven Tests since 1999 is four bowling, three batting).
But for the intervention of the weather, the only certainty is that there will be a winner.

Solar Heating Systems can fulfill two main purposes: Backup Heating (space heating) or heating potable water. In most cases backup heating systems should also provide hot water during the whole year, using a common array of solar Collectors.
Two different approaches can be used to achieve this objective: two separate storage tanks for the two separate water circulation systems (heating vs. potable water) or one tank combining both functions. Such systems are called combisystems respectively combi tanks.
While two-tank-systems require complex regulation strategies to secure an optimal allocation of the solar heat, the development of combisystems aims to accomplish such an optimal allocation only by an optimized tank layout.
The multitude of technical concepts in this field can be divided in two main classes:
- Tank-in-tank systems: a relatively small potable water tank is enclosed by the heating water in a big storage tank. The casing of the inner tank serves as heat exchanger between the tanks.
- Systems with integrated heat exchangers for potable water. In the most cases this will be an internal heat exchanger consisting of a potable-water pipe running through the storage tank.
Tank-in-Tank systems offer some advantages, especially regarding production costs, but are difficult to make compatible to today's highly sophisticated thermal stratification support concepts. Therefore most of such sophisticated tank concepts use internal heat exchanger pipes to provide hot water to shower or bath.
All solar storage tank systems including tank-in-tank combisystems, however, have to implement the main principle of thermal stratification (running from layers of cold water at the bottom to hot water at the top of the tank) and to avoid disturbing the stratification inside the tank to make efficient use of solar energy. One common characteristic of all solar tanks are therefore their proportions: relatively slim and tall - tanks containing about 1.000 litres have to be at least about two metres tall.
Smaller combisystem tanks can also be used in mere hot-water systems, replacing big hot-water storage tanks. Such big tanks containing potable water can cause hygienic problems in certain circumstances, especially if the daily consumption of hot water is highly vacillating, meaning high amounts of warmed water staying sometimes for days in the tank, slowly cooling down. By using combisystems instead, the volume of (half-)heated potable water will be minimized, while simultaneously providing a high storage capacity.

Eyal Gever's sculptures show the collision of opposite concepts, from destruction to pure beauty.
The artistic production of the Isareli artist Eyal Gever passes through a complex process of creation. First, Gever creates 3d simulations of very specific situations, which he then translates into sculptural moments. Finally, these pieces are transformed into digital prints. The 3 steps of the process are necessary to capture sublime moments that show the collision of radically opposed concepts.
Gever seeks to represent moments that normally "fill a person with amazement, awe, terror, stupor and silence" that are, at the same time, manifestations of pure beauty. His artworks search for the perfect visual interpretation of moments and things that we not visible in order to reveal "the boundaries of time".
To capture the catastrophic situations that his pieces represent, Gever uses 3D physical simulation technologies and software that he has developed. Through a methodical process, he simulates events he creates and translates their physical manifestations into works of art.
In some of his sculptures, Gever manages to recreate moments where motion and rest coexist, showing his interest for the destructive impact taking place in the environment. The uncontrollable and extreme are the main sources for his work, serving as a reminder of the fragility of life. His artistic practice oscillates between opposite poles, finding beauty hidden in strange places.
