It is that time of year for the colors of fall leaves. Yes, we do have fall foliage here in California. We just have to travel to see it. Hwy 395 on the east side of the Sierra Nevadas offers many places to camp and take in the colors of fall. Veronica and I headed out on Monday 10-8-18 traveling through Yosemite National Park. Even on a Monday in October you will find traffic driving across Tioga Pass in Yosemite and the park enforces a 25 to 45 MPH speed limit. But this is a drive to be enjoyed. Leaving the parks east entrance at 9943 feet we see some of the first aspens of the trip. Surprisingly still a lot of green even at this elevation.
You drop almost 3,000 feet to Hwy 395 and lunch at the Whoa Nelle Deli. We have stopped here many times and will continue to, the food at the gas station is just so good. They did not have our favorite Mushroom Sherry soup so the Ceaser Salad with Strip Steak will have to do. You really need to stop and try this.
I wanted something lighter so I tried the Chicken Salad, good but the steak is better. After lunch, we had a short drive to our campground for our first night, Gull Lake on the June Lake loop. Normally the June Lake loop would have a fine show of yellow aspens on both sides of the road. Today they were green and the color was only seen far up the mountains. We turned into Gull Lake Campground and found all the lakefront sites were taken and all open sites backed up to the main highway. Back to plan B and on to the June Lake Campground. Here we found a nice site and set up for the night.
After we set up our camp it was time for a walk. The Village of June Lake was close and we headed out. Shops offered fishing tackle now and were changing over to snow skis and winter gear. Veronica spotted a pottery shop off the main road.
After our walk, we enjoyed the afternoon sitting out until dark. Reading our Ipads and listening to NPR on the radio.
Dinner was a sandwich and chili we purchased at the Whoa Nelle Deli. Hit the spot on a cool evening. Normally I leave the heater programmed to come on at 6:00 AM and warm the camper to 70 degrees when we get up. I asked should we leave the heater off and sleep in. Veronica said yes we should sleep in. Nature call at 4:00 AM and I get up. How damn cold is it? A quick look at the indoor/outdoor thermometer and I find it is 33 degrees inside. When on the heater will keep the camper at 45 degrees overnight and I turned it on before returning to bed.
The next morning we found frost and ice outside. We were warm and toasty inside our camper. We had our normal camping breakfast, coffee, homemade muffin, yogurt, and a hard-boiled egg. We planned our day and headed for Mammoth Mountain. It had been over 20 years since we went into the city of Mammoth Mountain, what a change. Found a Starbucks for coffee and to use their wifi. We also stopped at the NFS information center and picked up information on the area and asked where to drive and see the fall colors in the area. We were told to drive Sherwin Creek Road. Nice drive on a dirt and gravel road near the base of the mountains. Still not a lot of color, we were a week early.
Sign on the gate said NO CAMPING! I just don't like LADWP.
After Mammoth Mountain, we headed up Rock Creek Canyon. This was a new area for us and had some great color as we got higher up the canyon.
Rock Creek gave us our first good color of the trip bright and dark yellow with touches of red.
Rock Creek's parking area was 10,240 feet elevation and this is before we started to hike. We decided to hike to the closest of the lake. Later we found out we could have gone just a little farther and seen several more lakes. Well, that will be our next trip.
We did find snow on the trail in several places. There was a storm 3 days before and the night time temps are in the teens at this elevation.
My iPhone showed 10,410 feet as the highest we reached on our hike. Thank you 24-hour fitness and Silver Sneakers.
When we got back to our camper we popped the top and made lunch. Had several people stop by and ask about our camper. Always glad to give a tour and pass out my travel card. One gentleman said he played at the Wawona Hotel and to stop by if we are ever over there. He also said he was going to Woodland to check out FWC and Sacramento to see ATC. We parked next to an FWC Hawk and there was an FWC Gramby and another Hawk parked not far away. Popup campers are showing up everywhere.
We headed back to Hwy 395 and followed the directions on the Mono County Fall Color Map. It showed a Lower Rock Creek Road just down Hwy 395. We took the turn and found many aspens by the creek. All were still green. But the road was fantastic, smooth turn after turn. Will have to take this road the next time I am up here on my motorcycle. Lower Rock Creek dropped into the town of Paradise. I did not know there were two towns named Paradise in Californa. Back on 395 we headed to Bishop for a gas stop and to look around. Eric Schats Bakery is always crowded. Tuesday was no exception, this place makes so much bread it is hard to believe they sell all of it in Bishop. We got some goodies for dessert later and headed for our next campground Convict Lake.
We have been to Convict Lake before but have never camped there. We also had not dined at The Resturant at Convict Lake. Several people have told us about it, all said we should eat there. Also, we were told to get a reservation.
We found a site near the bridge that crosses a creek to the restaurant.
Time for a little relaxation. Used to carry a book to read now we download from Prime or the local library. Have to say it does work well. The picture on the left me perfecting my relaxation.
Veronica reading and relaxing. We are getting good at this retirement stuff.
We did a walk by the lake before dinner. There was a wedding on the shore you can just see in the picture. This was on a Tuesday afternoon with around 40 people. Must have been a special place for the wedding couple.
Dinner at the Resturant at Convict Lake did not disappoint. We both had the 1/2 Ceaser Salad and the fresh Trout.
The trout was a generous portion and may be the best trout I have ever had in a restaurant. Excellent service and we did not have a long wait even with the wedding party having dinner at the same time. A solid 4-star white tablecloth restaurant at a campground. Be sure to stop if you are in the area.
After dinner, we headed back to our camper and dessert from Eric Schats Bakery. Chilly walk back so we did turn the heater for the night. Made a big difference keeping the camper at 45 degrees and the heater coming on in the morning.
Coffee is a necessity in the morning when camping. Susan Noack, a good friend who I worked with for 30 years gave me her aunts vintage Revere Wear coffee pot. We use it every morning camping and think of Susan every time we do. We had planned to spend the night at Lundy Lake. Listening to the weather radio we found there was a small storm front coming through overnight. Rain lower and snow where we would be camping. A decision was made to have a long day and be home tonight. We again used the Mono County information to plan the day. Back Road tours of Mono County showed Dunderberg Road off of Virginia Lakes Road. We would do this drive after Lundy Lake. First, we wanted to go back to Convict Lake for the morning sun.
We found the lake still and giving us a reflection of the mountains and aspens.
As we left Convict Lake we decided to take a drive around the cabins they rent. We were treated to a family of deer walking around. They looked to be locals who knew where to find food. Not frightened by our truck at all.
Goodbye Convict Lake we will be back.
Lundy Canyon was a new spot for us to check out. We had planned to spend the night before the change in the weather report.
The drive up Lundy Canyon was a nice paved road with aspen trees on the sides. At the Lundy Lake Campground, the road turned to gravel for the last 1 1/2 miles to the trailhead. Not much parking at the trailhead just small spots between trees.
Our goal on the hike was the overlook of the Lundy Creek Falls. This hike was just under a mile.
Our selfie overlooking the Lundy Creek Falls.
As we were taking in the scenery there was a young lady walking up the trail. We visited for a short time, she came from the San Francisco Bay Area and was spending the week looking at the colors. I gave her one of my travel cards and asked if I could take her picture. I told her I would include her in my trip report.
The walk down was just breathtaking. Aspens from side to side in the canyon. Lundy Canyon may be the best color of our trip. Next time we will camp and walk farther up the canyon and over the crest. We were told there is a big grove of aspens just over the top. Not enough time this trip.
I did a short video showing the trail and view walking down Lundy Canyon. You can see the marsh area below.
Veronica taking pictures from the marsh area below the falls.
Our next stop was Virginia Lakes Road. We did this road two years ago and found the great color we were looking for.
This year we found most trees past their peak. Many with their leaves stripped from the wind.
The Back Road tours of Mono County showed Dunderberg Road off of Virginia Lakes Road as a good drive. This was our next stop, just a short drive down from Virginia Lake to the turnoff.
The road ran through the middle of several aspen groves. Unfortunately, most of the leaves were gone.
This area must have been at its peak two weeks ago. If we would have been earlier the view would have been fantastic.
As we drove down the hill toward Hwy 395 we could see several aspen groves some near peak to past peak.
After we got back to Hwy 395 we head north to Sonora Pass and home. Clouds are getting thicker and dark, rain cannot be far away.
We took Sonora Pass so Veronica could see the damage caused by the Donnel Fire. This is all that is left of the Dardanelle Resort. I took this picture on an earlier motorcycle trip. The NFS now has no parking and keep out signs everywhere. Sad to see all the loss.
Our last stop in the Sierras was the Donnell Lake Vista. From here you can see where the Donnell Fire started in the picture below.
As we dropped in elevation the sky opened up and the rain started. This made us feel better about cutting our trip a day short. We were about a week early to hit the peak color in most areas. Some of the higher areas that were open to the wind were already stripped. We hope next year will be better and we will return. Our next trip should be Death Valley in the winter.

Notice: This is the official website of the All Empires History Community (Reg. 10 Feb 2002)
Similarly, researchers in Tokyo, working with their Korean counterparts, discovered kanji characters, believed to have been unique to Japan, written on an old wooden plate were also found in wooden strips in South Korea. Many other similar tools have been found mostly in Kyushu, the main Japanese island nearest the Korean Peninsula. Some believed that this was because Kyushu was much closer to Korea in ancient times than it is now. While Masao Anbiru, professor of East Asia in the Old Stone Age at Meiji University, believes that big numbers of Koreans might have migrated to Japan, Toshio Yanagida, director at the Tohoku University Museum, said that while the tanged points do not make that direct conclusion, they at least show that there was some sort of exchanges made between the two.
Meanwhile, researchers at the National Museum of Japanese History in Tokyo showed that letters on wooden strips found in South Korea indicated that Baekje, a kingdom that existed from the fourth to the seventh century, had a similar arrangement to Japan in terms of charging interest payments for rice loans. Also appearing in a wooden plate dating to mid-seventh century Baekje is the kanji "ru," pronounced similarly in Japan and ancient Korea. "The same kanji was assigned the same sound because Japan and Baekje might have shared part of their cultures," according to Minami Hirakawa, director-general at the Museum.

When traveling around or to South Africa, Cape Town is the number one destination to visit. The beauty and perfection of the city is undeniable. Everywhere you look is beautiful and breath-taking. I love the vibe and atmosphere that is Cape Town.
Stellenbosch is one of the places in Cape Town that filled my gypsy heart completely. I love the energy that flows through the streets, as well as the quaint street side cafes. Another favourite of mine is Bo Kaap, what an incredible place it is. The colourful walls make for gorgeous looking streets and great photo back drops. Chapmans Peak drive is one experience that cannot be missed. Driving along the sea can be somewhat daunting but it is absolutely beautiful and a sight worth feeling a little scared for. Muizenberg beach is another one of my favourites. The colourful huts along the beach make for a stunning view. It is so fun and an explosion of colour.
I have amazing memories in every one of the above places in Cape Town. The one other place that is an important mention is Boulders Beach. I remember going on beach holidays down to Cape Town, as a child. My sister and I would play on Boulders Beach for hours. The surrounding of the adorable penguins also adds a different and fun aspect to the beach.
Then there is the ever so famous Table Mountain. It is a mountain range that has recently been deemed as one of the 'New 7 Wonders of the Nature'. It is 260 million years old and a huge African Icon. I have amazing memories of taking my Finnish exchange student up the cable car to the top of the mountain and be amazed at the beauty of the city. That memory is something I will never forget.
I have recently entered the Cape Town Challenge and have taken on the task of building a model of Table Mountain. For this project I really wanted to incorporate my blog into the model so I decided to build Table Mountain with a Purple Gypsy Twist. I know that it is not a realistic version but I believe in exploring your creativity to the highest limits and so that's exactly what I have done. I have chosen to design this model with the use of String Art. This is something I have never done before so I was very excited to see how it turned out. I was pleasantly surprised at my result.
Table Mountain is a huge landmark in Cape Town, South Africa as well as being an African icon. In my model I have tried to incorporate all these aspects. I have enlarged Table Mountain to portray a better model and showed its geographical location by use of a string arrow and a purple heart to locate Cape Town.
Let me know what you think of my model in the comments below.
My wish is for return Flights to Cape Town.

An interview with Jayne-Anne Gadhia, Virgin Money's CEO 2007-2018
Jayne-Anne Gadhia, the straight-talking chief executive of Virgin Money, has just returned to the company's headquarters in the city after one of her many commutes across the UK. Living in Edinburgh, and with frequent trips to London, she admits her time spent in Newcastle is a welcome feature in her packed schedule.
"It's always nice to arrive in Newcastle – this is a great place, for so many reasons, and a great place to do business."
Since Virgin Money – one of the UK's financial giants, which employs over 3,400 people nationally with a turnover of more than £581m – took over Northern Rock on 1 January 2012, Jayne-Anne has come to know NewcastleGateshead and its business community well, and is fulsome in her praise for both.
"For me, it's the people who make the real difference in this region, undoubtedly," she said.
"If I'm honest, when we bought Northern Rock, I thought: 'Gosh, Northern Rock is such a big brand in the North East, I'm not sure whether people will like this,' but nothing could be further from the truth. The business community, the people who work at Virgin Money, just everybody, threw themselves into making us what we are.
"While we are a national brand, we are a Newcastle brand in every sense, the heart is here. We are part of the North East community, we have been welcomed into it, and I see us now as being part of a strong partnership here.
"For a business like ours, the great thing is that there is real talent here, real heart and soul, people are dedicated and do a brilliant job. This is a great city and region to live in, so you can bring people into the region to help build the business further, to build on the talent that is already here. People love coming to the North East of England and want to come here, I have definitely found that to be the case."
The strength of the business community in NewcastleGateshead is something that has impressed Jayne-Anne, and she believes is an important factor in the continued growth of the region.
She said: "I think the current thinking in London and the City is that with Brexit, we need to properly make the country flourish in all the regions. Perhaps there has been too much focus on London and the South East previously, but now I am hearing talk about the importance of the regions. And this region is a great place to be, it is very strong.
"I think the fact it is so well connected is very important for business. The East Coast Mainline makes it so easy and so quick to get to London. I live in Edinburgh and that's a lovely journey by train to Newcastle too, the views of the coastline are splendid. It is very easy to get to here and that is very important."
As well as the strength and welcoming nature of NewcastleGateshead's business community, Jayne-Anne believes the region's many additional benefits serve only to make it more appealing to those from outside of North East England.
She said: "This is a beautiful region. There is lots of history here, the arts are strong and that really comes through, there are great places to visit and to dine. The coastline is magnificent. There are lovely properties here and property prices are good – that is something that can help the region grow more.
"I love the Great North Run, I have done it once and I think it brings a real heart and soul to everything that we do as a region. The love of football is really important, too, and the passion that brings.
"And, of course, I continue to say I love the people. Really, taking all that into account, what more could you want?"
As a well-known advocate for the development of talent, Jayne-Anne – awarded a CBE in 2014 for services to banking and the voluntary sector – is passionate about helping to develop skills in her sector in the North East, to help strengthen Virgin Money from its very heart.
"I think we could encourage more people here to get into the more technical banking skills – so Treasury, risk – but the fact these skills are in greater supply in Edinburgh or London is simply down to the history of the region," she said.
"We have a brilliant team here in Newcastle doing fantastic jobs, and there is great talent here. We have people working around the clock for us, there are huge levels of dedication to make sure we are offering a brilliant customer service. For a business, such things are very important, and we have certainly found that to be the case."
"The people in the North East are delightful. They're enthusiastic, hard-working and they know how to party. A company full of Geordies is unbeatable."
Sir Richard Branson

Third Year Production, 2019
20th of February 2019 the IEGS had their premiere of Cluedo, a play based on the board game with the same name. The show follows seven strangers; the feeble-minded Colonel Mustard, the tragic Mrs White, the religious Mrs and Mr Peacock, the nervous Mr Green, the womaniser Professor Plum and the intriguing Ms Scarlet. They are all invited to the same party where there are two sneaky butlers and a mysterious host. Suddenly there is a murder, and the guests have to figure out who did it, where and with what.
I remember in the first year watching the then third-year drama students do their final show ''The Three Musketeers'' and thinking about how our last show would look like. What play we would pick, who would play who and how the set would look like. However, it was 2 years left until we would actually get to perform the biggest play of our entire schooling, which seemed like an eternity away.
Fast forward 2 years later, we have just been told that we could not perform Lord of the Flies because the cast had to be all boys (the author's demand). We were devastated to know this, but we did have other options. We ended up choosing Cluedo because we all felt like it really suited us, a better fit than Lord of the Flies. Ms Borgen and Mr Grape, our drama teachers, told us that it is the first time that they had worked with a play that was suggested by students.
Still, even if it was the perfect play for us, nevertheless we faced some difficulties as we went through it, like there were a lot of rooms that we had to get on the scene and some costumes were delayed. This play was also a challenge for most of us; someone who had only played comic relief suddenly got the part of a stern character; a person who prefers to play a man got to be one of the girliest characters and vice versa. This play was a challenge for all of us, but it was also one of the biggest and best things we all did together as a group and as individuals. We watched each other blossom in these challenges and become better actors because of it.
Even after the final performance, even with a lot of confusion and tears, it was always fun, even in the end when we had done it a hundred times. After our final performance, there was happiness and sadness. It felt strange, yet incredible to have done the same thing that I had seen in the first year, doing our own final production. We leave this school and all our characters on a high note. Thank you all for coming and watching the greatest performance of our lives. We hope that you loved it as much as we still do.

Fabspeed Lightweight Supersport H-Pipe Exhaust for Lamborghini Huracan (LP 640-4) [5.2L V10]
- Increases power, sound, and throttle response
- Adds 16 whp and 11 ft/lbs of torque by improving the exhaust gas flow
- Saves an impressive 28lbs from the rear of the already lightened vehicle, improving handling and acceleration
- Constructed from high quality 14-16ga CNC mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel and carbon fibre for maximum performance and durability
- Design includes 3" straight pipes with a 2 1/4" crossover H-Pipe
- Direct replacement for the OEM muffler with no cutting or welding required
Though the factory exhaust on the Huracan Performante is improved compared to the base Huracan, it's still overweight and far too restrictive for a vehicle which such track prowess. The Performate's OEM muffler system is comprised of multiple chambers, filled with perforated tubing, and wool packing. The exhaust gas must force its way through all of this in order to exit the system, which robs the car of considerable power. Our Lightweight Supersport H-Pipe Exhaust System is now available in a lighter, valveless design which provides significant power gains, weight savings, and an absolutely intoxicating sound. We were asked to produce the most aggressive variant for Huracan owners and we delivered. Our H-Pipe design increases power and offers a more exotic tone. Unleash the full fury of the Lamborghini Performante V10, along with an intoxicating and menacing barrage of pops and crackles upon deceleration and downshifting.

The day is finally here.
I'm sitting at our former dining table — the sofa is wrapped like a huge Christmas present — and I have nothing to do. Literally. Nothing. Okay, I could clean the bathrooms while I wait for the movers but I seriously do not have the energy for it. Just the thought of doing anything makes my head hurt and my stomach churn. (Maybe it's the bad coffee that's making my stomach churn. Blech.)
I keep walking around the condo checking to see if anything was missed, if I forgot to wrap or box something. Nope. Everything that needs to go has been duly wrapped or boxed. Good job.
The decision now is when are we leaving for France. D found out that he may have to be in Paris for a meeting on May 5th. We were scheduled to leave on May 10th. D figures that he'll change our tickets and leave on May 3rd instead. This is a little relief really. Although I love my mother dearly I wasn't really looking forward to 'living' with her for 10 days. I think it's more the fact that I'd like to get this going.
Speaking of going, the movers are here. I received a nice compliment from one of the guys. He was surprised to learn that I packed everything (essentially) on my own. He also liked the way I had wrapped the sofa. (I do admit that it looks pretty darn good.) I am woman; hear me roar!
The next part of this packing/moving process involves an inventory of all the boxes. This means that each box will need to be identified not by the room in which they belong but by the contents. As the mover says, this isn't to be a specific inventory of the contents of each box. Rather, a general idea (clothes, books, ornaments, etc) is what is needed here. You probably think that I had thought of this. You'd be so wrong. But, as I was the person who packed pretty much every box, I can do this with ease. Either that or I'll just make stuff up. Things are progressing and that's a very good thing.

|Groombridge Place, June 2013
I dropped in at the Falconry Centre on the way down, and arrived in the evening so took the opportunity to have the first sushi of the holiday, at the restaurant that I had so enjoyed last time. After a long morning in bed planning my schedule on Day 1, I started on the dress I'd promised to make for Lola II.
I had plans for day 2 in London - going to the Pompeii/Herculaneum exhibition at the British Museum, meeting mum and dad, and then meeting some other friends. It was a good day, but a long one. Day 3 was more relaxed - more dressmaking, then a stroll into town to do some shopping for household items. I don't enjoy shopping in normal weekends when there never seems to be much time and the shops are all crowded. There will be more shopping needed, but I got a whole lot done.
Another unplanned bonus of the week is that it's the first week of Wimbledon, so I've been watching a bit of tennis here and there, and listening to some of my podcasts and audio books. I thought I'd have lots of opportunities for listening while dressmaking, but unfortunately I can't do it - either I miss bits of the story or tennis match or I make mistakes with the sewing.
I saw a film and then wandered about some more in town - I think there are more charity shops here than in Leamington Spa, which is really saying something. I didn't even get the opportunity to see them all, because I found suitable work trousers in the second one I went to. Ate more sushi, had a bath, researched a new feed reader because of the demise of Google Reader - at the moment I'm thinking of using Feedly (I also tried The Old Reader and Feedreader). Watched more tennis.
I did as much of Lola II's dress as possible without putting her inside it to check the measurements, and had a whole day left to play with. So I did a bit of research, and went to Groombridge Place, which contains quite lovely gardens (featured in the film 'The Draughtsman's Contract') as well as a forested area with stuff in it. And various animals, and (the clincher) a birds of prey centre. It was a good choice for the day with a great deal to see and a decent amount of walking, which I enjoyed. And because it was warm but mostly raining, the only other visitors were a busload of holidaying Germans who didn't get in my way at all, and a class of maybe 10-year-old schoolchildren with their teachers, who I could hear a mile off, so could easily avoid.
Walking in the woods in silence was wonderful, as was my decision to have a go on one of the swings. I walked past them first of all, and then stopped to reconsider. If there had been children about, then clearly I would have left them to it, but there was nobody about at all, and these were interesting swings. The ropes were about fifty feet long up to a tree branch, and I wondered what that would be like. And I'm so glad I did, because it was amazing. Obviously the arc was much longer than your standard playground variety, but the slope of the land and the weight of the ropes and swing (and me) meant that I was propelled so much further and higher than I was expecting, high over the wet forest floor, slowly and (almost) silently, with nobody about. It was a wholly unexpectedly wonderful experience.
The falconry displays were a washout because of the rain. There were some birds sitting in the weathering looking a bit forlorn, but there was a Jackal Buzzard which they don't have at the Cotswold centre, and which managed to fly along with a Harris Hawk before the rain came down. I didn't much like the way the 'script' was delivered to the audience (although the other four people in the audience were charmed). They also had a nice display of falconry equipment with useful descriptions, but containing terrible apostrophe abuse.
So that was the last event of Solitary Holiday #2. I'm thinking that this will definitely be an annual event, and it's possible that I might even return to Royal Tunbridge Wells for a third visit next year!

The occasion was Feis Ile, Islay's festival of whisky and music. Regular visitors to this blog may have read my previous posts about this fabulous week long event, one that Jean is looking forward to being directly involved with, once Gartbreck is operational and the whisky is flowing.
We exchanged contacts and arranged to meet later in the week, and where better than Laphroaig distillery on Laphroaig Day, soaking up the sun, dram in hand, and looking out over a calm bay.
Many years ago, he had been living in Paris, working in advertising and as far removed from the world of whisky as it's possible to be. He decided that he wanted some big changes in his life so he asked Martine, his wife to be, whether she'd like to go with him to Brittany, where he thought he might build a distillery. Of course, why not!
|Carol, Jean et Martine
So what comes next for a successful entrepreneur with a Celtic distillery in France? Impassioned by the success of Glenn ar Mor, an inclination for more adventure, and a belief in the great benefits of a maritime maturation climate, Jean decided to do it all again on Islay, an island he had come to love, and an already established whisky region.
The opportunity to purchase Gartbreck with its buildings and farm land, provided the perfect spot for Jean's next vision. Idyllically situated on Loch Indaal, across the water from Bruichladdich and Port Charlotte, and just a few kilometres from Bowmore, this is the spot where construction for the new distillery will commence in the Spring of 2015.
Jean's philosophy is clear. Gartbreck will be a small distillery, with its own floor maltings, producing malt peated to about 35ppm. Barley is already being grown on the estate, and the plan is to produce about 20% of the distillery requirement. Oregon pine washbacks and some wild yeasts will be used for the deliberately long fermentation process, designed for more flavour development. Small copper pot stills will be used to optimize the interaction between the spirit and the stills, and these will be direct heated, an authentic and now seldom used process, which was prevalent until the end of the 60's, but has been largely replaced by steam coils. Although direct heating is more costly, difficult and time-consuming, Jean is passionate about this slow heating method, especially for the wash still, and considers it essential for producing a balanced, oily, rich and complex spirit. Gartbreck will be the only distillery on the island to use this method, which will make for a unique visit, as well as distinctive whisky. The worm condenser will be 40 metres long, allowing a leisurely transformation from alcohol vapours to liquid. In fact, slow and steady will be the name of the game at Gartbreck.

Slainte Gartbreck! The whisky world awaits with great anticipation!

The exterior is finished Arctic White, and the Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage. While the E90 shared front-end styling with the M3 coupe, the sills and rear valance were adapted from those of the standard sedan.
Factory 19″ wheels are fitted with staggered-width Bridgestone Potenza tires displaying 2017 date codes and detailed up close in the gallery below.
The interior is trimmed in Fox Red Novillo extended leather, with black trim and brushed aluminum accents on the doors and dash.

A Meisterschaft exhaust system has replaced the original unit, which is included in the sale. Recent maintenance has included an oil change, new brake pads, and rotors within the past 200 miles.
The window sticker shows an MSRP of $69,545 as well as detailing factory options and specifications.
The Carfax report confirms single ownership and provides six service records. Open recalls for the driver's airbag and blower motor wiring have been completed per the seller.
The video clip above offers startups and driving demonstrations as well as a view of the engine bay.

Segun also mentioned that he is impressed with the likes of Davido, Wizkid and Phyno. "However, I like Davido, Wizkid, Tekno, Phyno and the rest; I am impressed with what they are doing. However, maybe in a near future it will come through, you never can tell, it might be a blend of the old and young."
He further reiterated that he was impressed with what Nigerian musicians artists were doing on world stage.
"For Davido, it is a big point for him that somebody like R. Kelly can use his music for a remix; he should be proud about that and Nigerians should also be proud of him."

Buenos Aires, most commonly referred to as the "Paris of South America" is a city of greatly diverse culture. In this sprawling city sights, nightlife, gastronomy and the arts are concentrated in a few central neighborhoods.
With every neighborhood or 'barrio' offering something different, you'll be sure to find something new to explore in each part of the city that you visit.
How to Get Around
The international airport in Buenos Aires is located right on the water on the East coast of Argentina. From here you're only about a 15-20 minute drive into the heart of the city. There is fabulous public transportation in Buenos Aires, giving you the option to take the subway, bus, or rent a bike if you'd rather not pay for a taxi.
There is also Uber in Buenos Aires which makes it very easy to get around. That way you don't have to have as much cash on you at all times as opposed to a taxi. You also won't have to worry about haggling taxi prices when the meter is off, there will be a set price on Uber that you'll see before requesting.
The cost of the Uber from the airport to Palermo cost about $11. In the city, from one neighborhood to another can range from $7-$15 for a one-way, which is usually a lot cheaper than cab fare.
The subway system in Buenos Aires is the cheapest, and sometimes quickest way to get around. Once underground in the station, you can buy a card and pay for a number of rides to load onto your rider card. Depending on how long you'll be in the city, it's best to buy somewhere between 5-10 rides at a time so you can easily swipe for access.
What to Eat
I had certain assumptions before I started planning my trip that proved me right to always do my own research before making judgments. I had been informed for years that when you're traveling to Argentina, you best prep your body with greens beforehand because you'll have a slim number of options other than meat; wrong.
If you're a vegetarian or vegan, don't be fooled by the movies or food blogs of the "best food in Argentina" being that of meat, cheese and bread – there are other plenty of other options other than meat. In fact, there were TONS of vegetarian and vegan restaurants, cafes, and natural health food markets. (I personally eat meat, but having the option of other types of cuisine, and perhaps, a well-prepared salad every once in a while was a delightful surprise that I discovered once arriving to Palermo, aka the bohemian district of Buenos Aires.)
Buenos Aires has a very distinct European feel to it and a growing international expat community in the Palermo district. The quality of life is very high here and you'll quickly see why! Floating from cafe to cafe, exploring the markets, and eating your way around the city are all part of the experience in Buenos Aires.
The Neighborhoods
When looking at a map, you'll see that the city of Buenos Aires (being the capital of Argentina) is pretty huge. There are a few more popular districts that all have their little niche. Palermo is known to be the "chic green" neighborhood and the safest barrio of the city due to its high volume of tourists and having more police patrolling the area.
This is the neighborhood I chose to stay in simply because of the ability to walk to cafes, parks and restaurants and feeling safe if I happened to make a wrong turn. The neighborhood has much to offer; tree-lined cobblestone streets, jazz clubs tucked off the side streets, boutique shops sprinkled between new and old restaurants and bars.
A few to mention…
Casa Munay – vegetarian/vegan café & bakery; breakfast/lunch/dinner – I could have eaten every meal at Munay. The restaurant has a beautiful ambience to escape the hustle of the city and invites to stay for a few hours. A delicious veggie island in the ocean of carne.
Calden del SoHo – traditional, authentic, 5-star Argentinian cuisine. This parrilla has every type of steak you can imagine, empanadas, salads, sausages, and a wine list to go with it all.
Nola – New Orleans style eggs Benedict, fried egg and biscuit sandwiches; with this traditional Southern comfort fare you can never go wrong!
La Fabrica del Taco Comida – a taste of SoCal in Palermo; tacos, burritos, salad bowls, nachos, traditional Mexican in the heart of Buenos Aires.
Al Arabe – "cheap eats" Mediterranean to-go or dine-in foods with options of falafel, lamb, tabouleh, hummus platters and baklava.
Burger Joint – the most simple yet delicious menu, 6 rotating burgers (1 vegan/vegetarian), fries, beers. Simple, tasty, and affordable.
Antares Palermo – the best brewery in Palermo in my opinion, 15 rotating taps with house-brewed beers of all types; low alcohol to double IPA's and ciders. Plan accordingly, this place gets packed on a weekend night.
Palermo will not disappoint in terms of the food and drink scene; from wine bars to craft breweries to taco shops to burger joints to an Arabic hole-in-the-wall – you won't go hungry wandering the streets.
There are also a number of speakeasies in the area which I found to be a unique feature. Underground and tucked away unless you know where to find it, there's something very romantic about being in a dark, cavernous-like bar- almost as if you discovered a place less traveled.
This isn't it say that other areas of Buenos Aires are not "nice", in fact, in many cases, the very grit of a neighborhood is usually what makes it more interesting. The neighboring district to see is Recoleta.
Recoleta is perhaps where you will see the famous saying of Buenos Aires being the Paris of South America coming to life. Everything from the French-style architecture and beautiful plazas and parks, you'll see why Recoleta is said to be the most cultural part of Buenos Aires.
You'll want to map out some sort of itinerary so you can plan when to see the sights of the city in the most economical fashion. During the day, taking the subway is the easiest and most affordable way to get around, but I recommend to take the subway during the day as much as possible, and save Uber trips for when it's dark and you don't want the hassle.
If you're staying in Palermo, Recoleta is about 15 minutes away with a few major highlights to see.
El Ataneo Grand Splendid Bookstore – a theatre-turned-bookstore/café, this is truly the most "splendid" bookstore I have ever seen. From the elegant stairways to the breathtaking view from the balcony down onto the stage of the theatre to the thousands of books lining the walls, I could spend hours getting lost in this store.
El Ataneo also features a café for breakfast and lunch where you can actually sit ON the stage of the theatre looking out into what would have once been the audience; such a unique and picturesque experience!
Recoleta Cemetery – One of the World's most famous cemetery's. Explore thousands of years of Argentinian history wandering through the many corridors of eloquent gravestones, including "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" singer Eva Peron's grave. Recoleta is the final resting place of many of Argentina's wealthiest and most famous families and personages.
Florería Atlántico – Buenos Aires' most famous cocktail bar, with a flower shop serving as the false front. This bar is described as being a tribute to the multiethnic history of the city's population.
The menu is divided by national influence, with sections dedicated to Spain (sherry drinks), Poland (vodka) and England (gin, Scotch), however, the bar's signature drink is, naturally, a Negroni variation.
Los Galgos – Pop into one of the city's most historical bars for lunch or catch some live music up on the rooftop. What was once a 1930s café has been restored into an iconic piece of Buenos Aires history with its remaining tarnished mirror and wood paneling. If you fancy a cocktail, be sure to try the Negroni on tap.
San Telmo
San Telmo is famous for being the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires. Its cobblestone streets and colonial buildings used to be the quarters of dockland workers and it was one of the city's first industrial areas.
This is also home to Casa Rosada where you can see the official residence of the President of Argentina. The building also houses a museum, which contains objects relating to former presidents of Argentina. It has been declared a National Historic Monument of Argentina.
Take a Tango Lesson – Offered all over the city, but here is where you'll find many group/private lessons hosted in private studios, homes, or parks. Escuela Mariposita is one of the best for starting with the basic steps or even for those with previous experience in tango.
Run from an old mansion in San Telmo, it has tango classes for all levels, regular workshops and even intensive, week-long classes of tango. These lessons range from $20 – $40 per person, offering a 90 minute class and, depending which you choose, unlimited wine and cheese… the best kind of post-dancing snack!
If you're lucky, you'll get to see a free live performance on the street. Often filled with dancers, Buenos Aires' second oldest square, Plaza Dorrego, is a San Telmo highlight. Particularly on Sunday evenings, but more regularly during the summer months.
See the Underground Tunnels – Manzana de las Luces, or "Block of the Lights," housed the activities of the early Jesuit missionaries in Buenos Aires. The first documented report of an uncovered tunnel came in 1865, and interest in the tunnel network reappeared during a project to drain the neighborhood of San Telmo when engineers discovered more tunnels.
The tunnels range in size, and some lead to large, vaulted chambers. Many tunnels remain undiscovered, however, and may remain to serve secret purposes.
Although full of history, the tunnels were closed when I took the tour, and may be closed for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, a very inexpensive $3 way to spend an hour learning about the history of the city.
Accommodations & Costs
Budget hotel prices – Centrally-located hotels start around $35 USD for a double room. Most include breakfast, free WiFi, and many include air-conditioning.
There are a fair number of Airbnb hosts in the city as well and you can get a studio apartment for anywhere between $30 – $40/night. You can also choose to rent out a private room for slightly less (about $20/night.)
Average cost of food – In most of the cafes around the city, you're looking at $6-7 USD per dish, though you can find also find many lunch specials at the smaller, locally owned cafes for $4-5.
Pizza is really popular in the city and costs about $8-10. Steaks begin at $10, bottles of wine at $7-8, and pastas at $7.
If you are looking for a really nice sit down meal with good steak and wine, expect to pay around $22 USD. Alternatively, you can buy a week's worth of groceries (including bottles of wine) for around $32.
Buenos Aires is also widely known for its tapas and wine bars where you can sample a large selection of bites and tastes of wines for a very reasonable price, and end up skipping dinner altogether!
Although you will notice that many restaurants don't even open until 8 pm due to the fact that the locals in Argentina don't eat dinner until somewhere between 10 pm – midnight! So tapas are really more of a late lunch.
Some Other Things To Do
Go to a Live Jazz Show
Jazz is huge in Buenos Aires. If you're not seeing a tango show, go to a jazz concert; or better yet, see both! You can make both experiences as budget-friendly or as luxurious as you wish based on the venue you're choosing, and if you'd like to enjoy dinner and drinks as you enjoy the show.
Virasoro Bar offered 2 nightly shows in their intimate, lively venue playing big band New Orleans style jazz. The theatre holds only about 25 people, so it's necessary to make a reservation beforehand. The tickets cost $20 a person to sit at your own table where you can have drink and food service offered.
See a Tango Performance
Or better yet, try for yourself! Many performances that you'll find tickets for offer a 30 minute practice before the show to teach you the basics of the dance.
Piazzolla Tango cost $30 a person and include the option of a steak dinner and wine with the show (these packages cost about $75 per person.) The theatrics and beauty of the show are truly amazing; from the authenticity of the costumes to the traditional music and overall performance.
Bar Sur is another location for experiencing a tango show in San Telmo. With only nine tables in the whole bar, it's a cosy, atmospheric setting for admiring the sensual steps of the tango.
La Bomba de Tiempo
This was the highest rated activity to do in Buenos Aires and it was quite apparent why. Packed on a Monday night with locals and tourists alike all sharing the same passion for music. This show is a group of world-performing percussionists with a fantastic stage presence and light-show.
It's only available to see during the summer months since it is held outside. There is a huge covered bar area and the stage is open air, which is perfect for all the dancing and jumping to ensue.
The show lasts about 90 minutes and is a non-stop performance of all different types of percussion and dancing on stage. Tickets are extremely affordable priced at $10 a person. I recommend buying tickets online beforehand especially on a weekend to avoid the show being sold out.
Spend an Afternoon Living Like Royalty
Experience an afternoon enjoying high tea at L' Orangerie Alvear Palace; a hotel built in 1932, originally conceived as a luxury hotel to accommodate the growing number of European visitors who arrived in Buenos Aires at that time.
Alvear Palace is now a unique place to live a special afternoon and savor their exquisite cakes, mini pâtisserie, fresh fruit tarts, warm scones and other delicacies specially prepared by Chef Pâtissier.
I recommend making reservations if you plan to come on a Sunday afternoon. Prices range anywhere from $45 – $60 a person depending on the day of the week (Sunday is the most expensive day), and the time of the year. The summer months tend to be much busier and require reservations.
Wine Tasting
Wine bar Ser y Tiempo recently starting hosting affordable weekly tastings of four wines and small tapas. Additional meals, like lamb stew or veal, are served after the tasting when you have worked up an appetite.
Different than a most private wine tastings, guests sit in groups with friends and chat in between the explanations of the various wines. Wines can then be purchased for consumption on the spot.
Tapas may include cheese boards with ripened meats, locally baked bread, exquisite desserts, you name it! An intimate atmosphere and exquisite place to taste different wines.
For a simpler, less expensive tasting; head down the street to Trova Wine Bar. You can do a smaller tasting of three (generous) pours for about $10. You can purchase wine by the glass or by the bottle. There is also a fair selection of local beer on tap if you're not in the mood for vino!
Attend a Yoga Class
Buena Onda Yoga – daily lessons in Spanish, English, and even "Spanglish", these affordable studio classes are in two locations; Palermo and San Telmo.
Offering a handful of classes throughout the day at a very reasonable price (in fact some days of the week the classes are donation based, meaning you pay how you feel after the class).
Pick your type of class; Slow Flow, Restorative, Power Vinyasa, or a meditative Yin. Don't forget your water bottle and a towel and prepare to sweat!
Rent a Bike
Rent a bicycle for the afternoon and see the city in a different way. Head to the Rose Garden about three miles outside of Palermo and watch the paddle boats go by. For a closer, less strenuous ride; head north of Palermo to the Japanese and Botanical Gardens.
The Botanical Garden is free of charge and the Japanese Garden has varying feed depending on the day of the week and time of day. Ranging from $2-$5. The cost to rent a bicycle is about $8 for 4 hours or $10 for the full day (6 hours.)
If you fancy some lunch or a drink after your bike ride and tour of the gardens, head down the street to Casa Cavia, an eclectic, refurbished house with an outdoor garden and dining area; the perfect oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The food and drinks will not disappoint and neither will the experience of wandering through this historical mansion.
You could truly spend months exploring Buenos Aires and still not see everything that the city has to offer. I recommend visiting Buenos Aires for at least a week so you can get a glimpse of the different neighborhoods and a feel for the city and culture.

In the Header/Footer tab, you can customize your headers and footers in a number of ways, such as inserting dates, page numbers, or pictures. Simply click on the icons (see image above) to insert the desired element. You can insert the following file types in your headers and footers: gif, jpg, jpeg, and png. PDF headers and footers support only single rows.
Note 1: For DynaRanges the print area needs to be at least one row (for vertical DRs) or one column (for horizontal DRs) larger than the DynaRange(s).
Note 2: Languages written from right to left are displayed from left to right. This error is currently not fixable.
Note 3: PDFs can only be created with the correct font if the used font is available ( for Windows in the folder
…\Windows\Fonts). Otherwise, the PDF file will be created with a similar font, or, as in the case of characters in Comic Sans MS Italic, the characters will be created non-italic.
Note 4: To print PDFs of multibyte characters languages (e.g. Japanese), the font Arial Unicode MS must be available on the server as the default fallback font. For servers on Linux this font is shipped with the Jedox setup. If Arial Unicode MS is not available on the server, you must set another multibyte font as the default fallback one.
The example below shows how you can set the font NotoSansCJKjp-Regular as the default fallback font:
Go to Administration > Settings and add the key

The death of cash has been talked about for a while, and when contactless credit and debit cards were introduced, many thought the death knell had indeed sounded. But as of the last quarter of 2016, cash was used in the majority of transactions in the UK, and mobile payment technology has certainly not yet become commonplace.
A recent survey by Kantar TNS for Business Insider has shown, however, that the British public are willing to let go of cash. 17% of British adults 'definitely' envision going completely cashless, and a further 22% think it is 'likely' to happen in the future. The number rises amongst those aged between 18 and 34 (to 26% 'definitely' and 32% 'likely').
Asked 'Can you envisage yourself ever using exclusively cashless modes of payment in the future?', just 12% of those surveyed said they would 'definitely not', and 18% said it was 'not likely' they would ever stop using cash.
Those aged over 55 were most reluctant – 45% said definitely not or likely not. By contrast, in the 16-24 age group, just 15% of those surveyed thought a cashless future was out of the question.

Another divide exists between regions. 50% of those in London could foresee going totally cashless, compared to just 35% in the North East and Yorkshire. Only 21% in London believed it wouldn't happen; the number was 39% in the North East. Scotland and the South East of England were not too dissimilar to London – 40% of people in each region felt a cashless future was likely or definite.
Interestingly, men surveyed were more likely to envisage a cashless UK, with 45% saying they could definitely or likely envisage going exclusively cashless, compared to 34% of women.
Celene McCaffery, Client Services Director at Kantar TNS, comments: 'Whilst consumers can envisage a cashless future, this really timely piece of work by Kantar Research Express highlights that certain segments of society would really struggle with the notion of going cashless and payment providers need to be mindful of this. Ultimately, however, payment methods are driven by businesses and the payment companies that serve them – consumers will have little choice but to react to the payment methods presented to them in the future. A number of airlines are now cashless, with BA leading the way in this area, many schools insist on biometric systems for catering, and plenty of digital businesses have been cashless for a long time. Whilst consumers are right to be expecting change, I feel a completely cashless future is still some way off, but certain areas will become cashless more quickly than others.'
While cash may still be used the most frequently, the last few years have seen the volume drop – now cash is used in 40% of transactions, and most commonly for items under £5. The chief cashier of the Bank of England doesn't believe cash is going anywhere, but sadly the stats, and the attitudes of consumers, suggest that it might be usurped.

Negative-GSP: An efficient method for mining negative sequential patterns

Different from traditional positive sequential pattern mining, negative sequential pattern mining considers both positive and negative relationships between items. Negative sequential pattern mining doesn't necessarily follow the Apriori principle, and the searching space is much larger than positive pattern mining. Giving definitions and some constraints of negative sequential patterns, this paper proposes a new method for mining negative sequential patterns, called Negative-GSP. Negative-GSP can find negative sequential patterns effectively and efficiently by joining and pruning, and extensive experimental results show the efficiency of the method. © 2009, Australian Computer Society, Inc.

CountryBall cartoon: Attempt 3 – The Anglo-Franco Battle for North America
Despite being an abysmal artist, I decided I'd have a go and make another cartoon myself.
If I had had the time and the artistic skill, this would have been a huge cartoon in which the too-ing and fro-ing of the Battle for the North American continent between France and Britain would have been laid out.

For people with dementia, music offers a great deal. It provides a useful alternative means of communication when verbal skills may have been lost. Patients are often able to express themselves eloquently using simple musical instruments and voice. When music is a shared activity or in a more social setting with other staff and relatives. It goes a long way to reducing social isolation.
This project aims to offer patients currently living on the Myreside unit an opportunity to get more involved with the music that is important to them. Individual sessions of music therapy will be offered to the men on Myreside.
This will be facilitated by Carole Clarke, an HPC-registered music therapist who has 6 years experience of dementia/challenging behaviour. Each patient will have a record of the music that is important to them, and the ways in which they use music.

Ah, user adoption. I'm hearing cries of pain from all of my technology-related partners, and this week's Intuit QuickBase #EMPOWER2015 conference was no exception. Fortunately, Jacob MacIntyre, generation reliability analyst at Portland General Electric, was on hand to provide some terrific advice based on his 10 years of project management experience.
Bottoms Up!
MacIntyre has many of the traits you hope for in a PM. He's friendly, but a straight-shooter. He quickly explained to #EMPOWER 2015 attendees that user adoption can be achieved either through a bottom up or a top down implementation. His opportunity to try out the bottom up method came while he was working for Harder Mechanical Contractors. MacIntyre's team was helping to construct Intel's Ronler Acres – 9.3 million square feet of manufacturing space with a $3 billion budget.
The project was rather exciting – who wouldn't be jazzed to work with the world's largest mobile crane? – but the hurricane of spreadsheets going back and forth among the army of buyers, designers, admins, engineers, schedulers, and document controllers was not. "The engineers in particular were pulling their hair out," says MacIntyre. "So I brought in QuickBase as a solution to the chaos and they liked it." When the PM got an initial report out of a QuickBase application, however, he was alarmed. "Sometimes the higher-ups are inclined to say no to a new idea because it's a wrench thrown into the system and they don't want to take on the risk."
But…no one likes an angry mob. Once MacIntyre's users were enthusiastically using the application, the PM didn't dare take it away. At Harder, the bottom up approach in which happy users convince a higher-level resister, worked best.
View from the Top
MacIntyre's next role was at his current company, Portland General Electric, a provider of coal, wind, hydro and natural gas power. The utility plant boasts $7.6 billion in assets and 2600 employees and MacIntyre's group experienced a spreadsheet river. "Information from the designers, administrators, engineers, and cost controllers flowed around the functional managers, and they had no idea what was going on," MacIntyre says. "In this case I built a fully-architected QuickBase solution and sold it to the managers with the problem. The designers, etc. weren't super happy because they now had to go through a system, but the goal isn't always happiness."
Their jobs now made easier, the managers facilitated compliance by the rest of the team. Top down.

Here are a few other user adoption tidbits we should all file away:
What user adoption approach has worked better for you? Bottom up or top down?

One man is suspected of two separate armed robberies in the north-western Sydney suburb of Dundas this afternoon.
At 12.30pm, a man wielding a firearm approached the counter of a post office on Station Street and pointed the gun at a 51-year-old worker, who then ran from the counter to the back of the store.
The robber left the store empty-handed.
Shortly after, a second robbery occurred at a Yates Road supermarket, and police believe the same man was allegedly involved.
A small amount of cash was stolen from the counter.
The man then rushed out of the store onto Mackay Road, and fled the scene in a blue Holden Berlina.
The suspect is described as 175cm tall with a black goatee-style beard.
He was wearing a black hooded jumper with blue tracksuit pants that had a white stripe down the side and dark gloves.
Investigators are also keen to identify two other robbers who targeted an Auburn convenience store last night.
Armed with knives, the two men attacked store owner Mahmoud Ghanem, before stealing cash and cigarettes.
"The one guy pushed me, I slipped and my head hit the door outside," Mr Ghanem said.
Police are concerned about thieves targeting vulnerable businesses in isolated areas.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
