"Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs."
Being well over 200 pounds most of my life I admit to having given into these self-sabotaging thoughts time and time again. That is, until I learned a few tricks to accept myself and finally feel empowered in bed. Before I get to that, let us get acquainted.
I've been fat all my life. I was a chubby baby, a husky kindergartener, a fat teenager, and an even fatter 20-something adult. As a kid I daydreamed of a future with marriage and passionate sex (hey, I watched a lot of soap operas), but I knew I would only achieve either of those goals if I got skinny. I resigned to living a life of solitude until then.
When I was 15 something unthinkable happened. I got a boyfriend. Crazier than that, I eventually lost my virginity to him 4 years later. Sex, while fat! Shocking, I know. We ended up staying together for nearly a decade. Throughout my life with him he continued to love me for who I was on the inside and rarely acknowledged my weight. I considered this a dream come true and felt my weight was a dirty secret he pretended not to notice for the sake of making me feel better, which I thoroughly appreciated. Sadly, as loved as he made me feel, the truth is I went all those years without truly feeling confident or sexy in my own skin. It was standard for me to keep my tank top on during sex to conceal my fat stomach. I didn't get naked in front of him. Ever. He thought he was being respectful by letting me carry on that way but in reality things would have been much different if I had been forced to face my own body earlier on.
Life happens and that relationship ended a couple years ago. The concept of dating and having to inevitably face my body issues with new men seemed a task too daunting to handle. What guy is going to get excited by a fat chick who is a basket case with no self-esteem?
Luckily I quickly met the man I am still with today who helped me to drastically reshape my body image. We have passionate sex, daily, and I have no problem taking my clothes off! Based on our own personal experiences together, I've realized the simple, yet effective, way I started to embrace my body, and I have confidence it will inspire you to do the same.
Laugh at yourself.
In other words, lighten up! It's so simple, it's brilliant. If you're anything like me, your fat is pretty damn humorous if you think about it. My belly jiggles when I move around, my fat legs feel stubby and awkward when I wrap them around my guy, and my double chin looks like it's trying to swallow my face when my neck is scrunched up during missionary (I know from sex pictures). Even during orgasm we all look downright scary when we squeal and scrunch and scowl, and that doesn't even have anything to do with our weight.
The most valuable thing my guy does for me is something that previously resided in "worst nightmare" territory: he acknowledges my fat, often.
He tells me he loves my fat, that it's warm and soft and squishy. He proves it by jiggling my tummy, letting me squeeze my fat thighs around his neck because he thinks it's hot how my "Super Woman Legs", as he lovingly calls them, are so strong and powerful. He sometimes falls behind me when we walk to ogle my jiggling calves. He admires how strong my muscles must be to constantly carry around a sack of extra weight. He plays with my body and embraces my shape, and by doing so, he has shown me that it's no use trying to hide from my size because he notices every inch.
He doesn't condone being unhealthy and neither do I, but he has fun enjoying me at this weight and expresses hope that when I do eventually approach a healthier weight that I still leave a little extra padding for him. I have finally discovered the thrill in being found sexy in part because of my size, not just in spite of it.
If you're not with the right person who makes you feel empowered and accepted when they touch you, keep looking. Self-acceptance isn't a gift your mate can simply hand to you, but with the proper help their appreciation of your body and all of its amazing curves is certainly a big nudge in the right direction.
We are doomed to a lifetime of self-hatred if we continue to take ourselves too seriously. Let's lighten up and actually notice our bodies instead of hiding from them all the nuances, quirks, so-called flaws, and even the gorgeous parts too (they're there, trust me).
Just remember, yours is the same body that gets chills up its spine when it's touched the right way, the same body that shivers and quakes with pleasure during orgasm, the same body that lulls into dreamland with peaceful satisfaction after a night of torrid sex, and the same body that makes your mate explode with pleasure. You gotta love that!

He also said the US would take new measures to improve the Palestinian economy, setting up a new joint US-Palestinian economic group.
The BBC's Gordon Corera in Washington says the mere presence of the Palestinian prime minister in the White House is significant.
It marks the first time a Palestinian leader has been given the red carpet treatment by the Bush administration - which has shunned Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat.
Speaking about the Israeli security fence, Mr Bush said: "It is very difficult to develop confidence between the Palestinians and Israelis with a wall snaking through the West Bank.
Israel has been under pressure to introduce confidence-building measures in connection with the US-backed peace plan known as the roadmap.
As Mr Bush was meeting Abu Mazen, the Israeli Government announced it was lifting three roadblocks in the West Bank.
The checkpoints are to be removed between Ramallah and Jerusalem, Ramallah and Nablus, and
Bethlehem and Hebron.
So far, Israeli troops have pulled out of Gaza and the West Bank town of Bethlehem.
Mr Sharon also gave a commitment to look at further releases of Palestinian prisoners.
Mr Bush's comment on the prisoner issue was not as critical of Israel as his remarks on the West Bank fence.
The US president said the release of any prisoners would be on a "case by case" basis.
No "cold-blooded killers" would be released if there was any hint of derailing the peace process, he said.
The president said he and Mr Abbas shared a "common goal" of finding peace in the Middle East.
For his part, Abu Mazen called the meeting "fruitful" and said his authority appreciated the "relentless efforts" made by the Bush administration in pursuit of peace.
"Security for all is an essential element in progress," he said.
And he accused Israel of hindering the process - calling for a freeze on settlements and the removal of the wall.
The Palestinian prime minister had earlier held talks with senior members of the United States Congress, at the start of his first visit to Washington since he came to office.
Abu Mazen took office in June - after Washington refused to deal with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

Born in South Wales to Raymond and Jennifer Finn, Kimberley Charlotte Elisabeth Finn (known to readers as K.C., otherwise it'd be too much of a mouthful) was one of those corny little kids who always wanted to be a writer. She was also incredibly stubborn, and so has finally achieved that dream in 2013 with the release of her first three novellas in the four-part Caecilius Rex saga, the time travel adventure The Secret Star and her new urban fantasy epic The Book Of Shade.
K.C. Finn has also recently been welcomed into the fold at Clean Teen Publishing as a debut Young Adult author for 2014, beginning her run of publications with the paranormal/historical series SYNSK.
As a sufferer with the medical condition M.E./C.F.S., Kim works part time as a private tutor and a teacher of creative writing, devoting the remainder of her time to writing novels and studying for an MA in Education and Linguistics.
A struggling psychic girl steps out into the big, wide world amidst the murky depths of racial segregation in England, 1961.
As a teenage psychic, Josephine Fontaine knows what it's like to be different. At Peregrine Place, a school full of youngsters with gifts just like hers, sixteen-year-old Josie is growing tired of her life and looking for excitement beyond the grand manor house's walls. When an opportunity arises to work in a local music bar, she jumps at the chance, learning to balance her new job with the pressures of studying the ways of the Synsk.
There she meets the charming Tommy Asher, a fellow psychic with a talent for music, and Jake Bolton, a handsome, surly stranger with coffee-coloured skin. Throw in the return of her old crush Dai Bickerstaff, and Josie finds herself embroiled in a drama much bigger than she could have imagined, especially when certain parties take issue to her developing a friendship with a boy who isn't white-skinned. When a mysterious record mogul offers Josie help to improve her psychic gifts, her world turns totally upside down, and she begins to question everything she thought she knew about the world, her family, and even herself.
Coming of age was never so intense as it will be for Josie in the winter of 1961.
A teenage boy with something to prove gets caught up in a web of crime and deceit in England, 1945. In the weeks leading up to his sixteenth birthday, gifted psychic Leighton Cavendish finds himself suddenly packed off to Blackpool, a glittering, teenage paradise filled with plenty of opportunities for amusement-and trouble. With only a preoccupied grandmother to keep an eye on him, Leighton's desperation for adventure leads him out into a world of holidaymakers, candy, and carnival rides-the ideal place to spend six weeks away from home. But Leighton's psychic visions are encroaching on his fun, trying to warn him of the danger that lurks beyond the shimmering lights of the Golden Mile. Who are the mysterious thieves Leighton sees in his head, and what do they want with the children they seek? A girl called Faye holds the answer, but she has enough problems of her own. Amid the climate of a tourist town recovering from the impact of the Second World War, two lost teenagers will discover a shocking truth about human greed. Together, they will try to fight against it. For Leighton and Faye, this will be a summer to remember-one filled with challenges that must be overcome. A summer that turns a boy into a man.
A girl with a telepathic gift finds a boy clinging to his last hope during the war-torn climate of Europe, 1940. At fifteen, Kit Cavendish is one the oldest evacuees to escape London at the start of the Second World War due to a long term illness that sees her stuck in a wheelchair most of the time. But Kit has an extraordinary psychic power: she can put herself into the minds of others, see through their eyes, feel their emotions, even talk to them - though she dares not speak out for fear of her secret ability being exposed. As Kit settles into her new life in the North Wales village of Bryn Eira Bach, solitude and curiosity encourage her to gain better control of her gift. Until one day her search for information on the developing war leads her to the mind of Henri, a seventeen-year-old Norwegian boy witnessing the German occupation of his beloved city, Oslo. As Henri discovers more about the English girl occupying his mind, the psychic and emotional bonds between them strengthen and Kit guides him through an oppressive and dangerous time. There are secrets to be uncovered, both at home and abroad, and it's up to Kit and Henri to come together and fight their own battles in the depths of the world's greatest war.

What is it?
Start Out Steps is a remarkably clear and simple business starter system that combines affordable professional coaching and basic online learning to enable you to live life authentically and make a comfortable living doing what you love.
Start Out Steps is where conscious business and community to come together to create a powerful new paradigm; an abundant Conscious Business Community that is continually growing, evolving and supporting each others' success.
We created Start Out Steps because we want to live in a world where people who are courageous enough to start a business that aligns WHO THEY REALLY ARE with WHAT THEY DO for a living, have the simple steps and support they need to successfully get it off the ground.
When we chose to leave our jobs to set up our own businesses doing what we're passionate about, we didn't enjoy the early stages of creating our business at all! We:
- were overwhelmed by the volume of business-building material;
- were confused and intimidated by all the business jargon;
- felt admin anxiety every time it came to our legal, accounts or tax stuff (and social media anxiety for that matter); and
- spent far more time scouring the HMRC website than we'd ever want to if you'd paid us!
We spent months feeling frustrated and isolated because we:
- Didn't know what or how to do it; and
- Didn't have the confidence or belief that we could make it work.
In short, Start Out Steps was created because we were tired of seeing so many awesome and talented people struggle or fail at it. We didn't see why the "business stuff" needed to be so difficult for everyone else, especially when we had already done it and had valuable experience and expertise to share!
So, because there's absolutely NO ONE WE KNOW who enjoys doing the "business stuff" we decided to cut out all the noise, break it all down to the most basic steps and designed a process that forges a clear and simple pathway through the business building process with you.
Yes, with you.
Through the Start Out Steps system you'll have access to a professionally trained coach who'll partner with you through a unique process (that works with both the inner and outer components to your business) to help you achieve your goal of starting a legitimate and sustainable business "being" who you truly are.

Who we're being
The Conscious Creator
I'm Anna Margolis, Creator of Start Out Steps and Director of iPEC London.
Before starting my first business I spent 6 years working in the corporate world as an international lawyer. Like many of the people I come across every day, I had woken up to the fact that the corporate world wasn't working for me. It was clear that it wasn't where I wanted to be and wouldn't offer the life I wanted to live; I wanted to be me 7 days a week, not just 2. So I went searching for another way. I was committed to discovering who I was, what was important to me and what I could do to make a positive difference in the world.
Through my journey, I had the opportunity to bring the world's leading ICF-accredited coach training programme to the UK (iPEC London) and have been privileged to spend the past few years offering professional and personal development training to people from all over the world, teaching them how to help others tap into their OWN potential.
Was it easy? Hell, no! When I first started iPEC London, most people thought (or said) I was crazy. The economy was shaky and I had given up my job to do something that my family, friends and networks had barely even heard of.
I quickly discovered that building a business was hard. It turned out "coaching" and "building a business" were two very different things and with no MBA, no mentor, and no real business experience, I wondered if intelligence and commitment would really be enough for me to build a self-supporting and sustainable business.
It was months of trial and error (and honestly, still is!)
But over time, I learnt things. I found my feet and fell in love with my business. Then a funny thing happened: as the Director of iPEC London I started to observe that many of my students were experiencing similar struggles. There I was, training them so they could get out there and make their difference in the world, and here I was wondering how many of them would really make it if they were struggling to start their business.
Having lived through the experience not all that long before them, I knew there had to be more that I could do to help them. Then, one day, it occurred to me,
I wanted to create a simple, safe and supportive virtual learning space, for all those heart- and soul-centred entrepreneurs to access bite-sized, business-building wisdom, at a price that everyone could afford. And it so happened that I knew just the community of people to lend a hand.
The Conscious Contributors
One thing that I had found remarkable in building iPEC London was how many exceptional people I kept meeting along the way; people from all over the world who were walking their talk and expressing their unique gifts and talents into the world: coaches, community organisers, website designers, bloggers and public speakers to name a few.There were so many, with such wide-ranging talents, that I couldn't shake the feeling that there was another reason that I had met all of these exceptional people.
Then it dawned on me; each of these people had something in common, they had all lived through the process of starting or building a business doing what they love and had INCREDIBLY valuable stories and expertise to share. Here was a community who were willing to share their collective experience and wisdom so that others could navigate the business-building process with confidence and get on with making THEIR unique difference in the world. And so, Start Out Steps became grounded in a simple mission: to create a Conscious Business Community that will continue to evolve and support each others success.
The Conscious Connector
As an energetic and conscious entrepreneur who loves life, and thrives on connecting with people, Julie Anne Christoph (founder of the Canadian Coaching Academy and School Director for iPEC Canada) has developed an exceptional gift for introducing the perfect person to the ideal resource they are looking for. Her ability to listen at a deep level, read/understand energy and see other people's gifts and talents enables her to match them with exactly what they need to get out there in the world and shine.
As part of the Start Out Steps core community, we are grateful that Julie Anne has been doing what she does best; creating a true win/win by connecting us with an extraordinary group of Conscious Contributors who are willing to share their unique gifts and talents with YOU.
Like all of our team of Conscious Contributors, Julie Anne knows how important it is for you to get yourself out there and let the world know WHO you are and HOW you're making a difference in the world. After all, when we're being of service to you, we're fulfilling our own purpose and potential in the world.
So, on behalf of all of our Conscious Contributors, we congratulate you on starting this exciting journey and look forward to being of service to you, every step of the way.

This paper presents three case studies of risk-based standards from Great Britain: the pre-liberalisation generation planning standard, the present method for setting operational reserve requirements, and the transmission network planning standard. These illustrate a number of key issues in developing planning and operational standards for wind, including: the benefits of risk-based standards in adapting to new circumstances; the importance of considering model assumptions carefully when interpreting risk calculations; the difficulty in calculating the costof risk; and the need to account for uncertainty in system background.The transmission network planning standard is studiedin particular detail, especially how the present combination of deterministic and probabilistic sections might evolve for use in a future power system with a very high renewable penetration.

Mont Botanik Condominium
Mont Botanik Condominium
A well-known inherited property, The Botanik at the Hillview area near in 1 Jalan Remaja is within the development of the Tuan Sing Holdings. The Andermatt Investments Private Limited is one of the real estate company eyed by most developer to look for a freehold land at Hillview in which the price starts from $7.8 million. The block of land will be for residential development and analyst note that based on the site area of 4,046sqm and a plot ratio of 1.92, the developer would be able to develop around 100 units on the plot of land.An excellent and different life-style is waiting for you at Mont Botanik by Tuan Sing Holdings at Hillview. Please visit The Mont Botanik Residence project details and floor plans for additional information. Among the well-known estate developer in Singapore is the Tuan Sing Holdings and been the most wanted Singapore Real Estate Developer. In order to get more stake holders, Tuan Sing Holdings guarantees that they're developing a unique high quality of real estate projects. With the higher standard of corporate structure that Tuan Sing Holdings have owned over the years, stakeholders still remains. Tuan Sing Holdings recognize that personnel are its greatest asset and always seek empowerment thru constant training and determination for its workers. Safe working conditions in held in the most upmost regard and Tuan Sing Holdings provide career development and training opportunities for workers as well. Land sales aren't standing on the market after the government have noted that they only obtained lesser sales for land since the 99 years leasehold land are now making a name in the estate market. Therefore, efforts can be seen on the recent bids by developers to secure development land which is the raw material for real estate development. Since The Mont Botanik Residence Condo is a tenure property, more investors and resident owners have an interest on it.
It covers the Hillview area from Hillview MRT Station thru the Downtown Line. Even though putting educational center was not part of the draft during 2014, however they are considering to make it in between Elizabeth Drive and Hillview Avenue. It would be far more convenient for the potential property owners if more amenities and facilities will be buit in Hillview Avenue. Transportation in The Mont Botanik Residence Hillview Avenue is much more convenient since the Hillview is just accessible. The Mont Botanik Residence is only a walk away from the Hillview Avenue and Upper Bukit Timah Road. Homeowners can drive their car easily as they passed through Jurong area and Central Business. Bus stops are also accessible from the new development. Hillview MRT Station and Down-town Line is too near the The Mont Botanik Residence.
It would be more convenient for house owners to send their kids to schools since Yusof Ishak Secondary School, Lianhua Primary School and Assumption English School are simply close to the area. For vehicle owners, it takes less than Thirty minutes to drive from Hillview to the business hub and vibrant Orchard Road shopping district, via Pan Island Expressway (PIE).

Burfell Wind Farm
Landsvirkjun is working on the development of a wind park of up to eighty wind turbines on the flatlands above Búrfell hydropower plant in Iceland. Mannvit was Landsvirkjun's consultant for the environmental-impact assessment for the wind farm project, with a possible size of up to 200 MW. Mannvit did the EIA as well as environmental investigations and research, including noise impact, landscape analysis and visual impact assessment. Two options were presented for the placement of the wind turbines and the EIA for both options evaluated. Landsvirkjun decided to prepare a website for the EIA, the first of its kind in Iceland. Mannvit did the layout and design of the online digital EIA report. The web EIA report can be found here.
Landsvirkjun currently operates two wind turbines at this location for research purposes. These turbines have some of the highest capacity factors in the world due to favorable conditions at the site. The capacity factor of the existing wind turbines is over 40% and initial estimations suggest the new wind park may have an average capacity factor of 50%.
Environmental impact assessment, environmental investigations and research, including noise impact, landscape analysis and visual impact assessment. Layout and design of the online report.
58-80# of turbines

"This is a new energy option which sits well with hydropower and supports the electrical energy system. Our objective and the objective of the Landsvirkjun is to conduct the assessment in a transparent way in order to promote open discussion and ensure that future decisions are taken on reliable grounds."

Tips for your stay in Al Hoceima
Relaxing on the beachAl Hoceima's main attraction? Its heavenly sun-drenched beaches! Plage Quemado is centrally located and equipped with all amenities, Cala Bonita is smaller but definitely lives up to its name ("Beautiful cove"), Plage Sfiha is located more to the south and provides a view of the small rocky island Peñón de Alhucemas … plenty of choice with a flight to Al Hoceima. Do you fancy stretching your legs? Stroll along the harbour, where you can see local fishermen moor their boats with their catch of the day.
Morocco with a Spanish touchAl Hoceima was founded by the Spanish in 1926 and only developed as a Moroccan city after the country's independence in 1956. And it shows. Spanish-looking houses, a Catholic church, a Spanish school and street names sounding more Spanish than Moroccan … Even the most typical Spanish tradition, the siesta, is maintained here.
Hiking paradiseAl Hoceima National Park, one of the hidden gems of Morocco with a variety of wildlife, is an amazing location for hiking and mountain biking. You can go on guided multi-day treks, where you sleep in local cottages in the Berber villages scattered throughout the park. The nature reserve also features limestone cliffs which form an impressive coastline. With a bit of luck, you can see dolphins leaping out of the water!

First up, This is Kellie's Bee block for May in the Australasian Bee, She sent out a 10" square of batting with a Heather Ross piece spray basted to the centre, and a whole bunch of strips, With a request to follow the instructions from the Sew Take a Hike, Quilt as you go, Quilt along. But to do a 'riot of colour' and a little wonkiness would be great. So I did, I loved making this, the fabrics were beautiful and the colours so much fun!
I would love to use this method for a wall hanging or cushion, (just added it to my super list!)
Secondly, A Thank You!!!!! to Jess from JK Creations!! I was lucky enough to win a runners up prize in her May Day Give Away, Jess sent along the beautiful Blossom hair clips for my girls so they wouldn't take off with my new purse!! So far it is working :)
Next up, In continuation of my marathon sewing efforts the last week or so, I whipped up a pair of cords for Miss Charlotte, using my go to kids pants pattern Burda 9706, this pair have an elastic back with flat front waistband, as, at almost 9 Miss C is getting a little old for the full elastic treatment!
The pants were crazy busy, so I added a little scotty dog applique to the bottom of one leg. Of course now that they are "doggy pants" Charlotte doesn't want to take them off!!
There has been a couple of other sewing finishes here this week, including a winter coat for Charlotte, which I will do a post about when I finish the other 3! and a cute little winter dress for Miss Jocie, which I just need to get a pic of her in before I post!
One last thing, Mark's second round of our little Dessert War's, resulted in these absolutely delicious Jam Doughnut Muffin's (Don't tell him I said so, but I think he is winning!! )

Wishes come in many shapes and forms. Many countries celebrate a day where wishing is the main event. These holidays have always fascinated me, because I believe in the power of a good wish.
No, I don't think that a wish will come true if you don't go after it. There's a lot of truth in Tiana's father's words when he says, "That old star can only take you part of the way. You've got to help it along with some hard work of your own, and then you can do anything you set your mind to." in the film The Princess and the Frog by Walt Disney Pictures.
Many people who are sucessful began as wishers and dreamers. And it may surprise you to know the career path of some of the most well known people in the world. Life doesn't have a map. And there is no direct plan, but if you focus on a goal, and if you make that goal a priority, you will be amazed at how far you have come.
I have made several wishes, all of which are secrets in hopes that I don't spoil the magic, during my travels here in South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. Each wish I've made is different, but each holds a promise that I will work hard to achieve it. I have come far from where I was six years ago, and the mindset I have has been a huge part of my perspective this year.
Wishes are powerful things. Soon wishes become dreams, which turn into goals and which eventually are achieved as memories that can be looked back on with pride and even humility.
I still have much to learn, but I believe that I will always appreciate the power of wishes.
The truth is, you don't have to wait until New Year, Tanabata or Chinese New Year to make a wish. You don't even have to wait for a star to streak across the sky. You can make a wish at anytime, create a goal, and then you are on your way to amazing things. But wishes don't just happen on their own. You have to make some effort to achieve them, and you have to promise to work hard for that goal.
Each wish I have made this year is a new promise to be a better person, to grow and change into the person I want to become. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to spread these wishes around the world, and I will work hard to achieve them.
If you would like to make wishes, or attend these really cool festivals, here's a list of the places and holidays that I have found, according to when they happen each year.
New Year's Eve: Anywhere, but especially with fireworks involved.
New Year's Eve is a time to make a wish on the fireworks that announce the next year.
A Disney Park: Any Disney Park at any time
Year round Disney will accept wishes, and if they can, they'll make it come true.
Lunar New Year: In Asia on a special wishing tree.
Depending on the zodiac animal that falls under that year, the Lunar New Year is celebrated between January and Feburary in Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea, Tibet, Mongolia and Vietnam and many other countries in Asia.
Typically the new year involves writing a wish on a piece of paper and tying it to a tree.
In Hong Kong, you can make a wish by lighting a lantern, or tying a written wish to an orange and throwing it at a special wishing tree. If your wish hangs on a branch, it will come true. You can also feed the dancing lion money for good luck that year, and donate to the Buddhist temples.
The Star Festival: Celebrated in China, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong on a special wishing tree
This festival takes place on a special day where both the Altair and Vega stars are visible along with the Milky Way. Typically around July 7th. This Festival has many names including Tanabata in Japan, Qixi Festival in China, Chilseok in South Korea and Seven Sisters Festival in Hong Kong.
This is celebrated by writing a wish on a piece of paper and tying it to a tree.
There are many other wishing festivals around the world. Here are some I have added to my bucket list:
Diwali- also called the Deepavali or The Festival of Lights takes place in Autumn in India.
This festival celebrates light's victory over darkness, and the festival lasts over five days. People dress up and light up lanterns called diyas and they watch fireworks.
Loi Krathong in Thailand- also known as the floating lantern festival
This festival involves creating small floating rafts into a river attached to all your worries. After letting go of the raft, you make a wish. It takes place in November.
Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Thailand - Also known as the Festival of Lights
This festival involves releasing a lantern into the sky to make a wish, and there are thousands of lanterns released all at once! This festival takes place at the same time as Loi Krathong in November.
These festivals have always fascinated me, and they are great story sparks ^_^
Regardless of where you make your wishes, they are celebrated around the world. If you know any other wishing festivals, feel free to mention them in the comments.

Ypsilanti's Bike-Bus-Walk Week to encourage alternative transportation
Ypsilanti resident Bob Krzewinski was riding his bicycle on Forest Avenue in 2006, when he was struck from behind by a hit-and-run motorist who briefly slowed down and then quickly left the scene.
"I was out of work for five months," said Krzewinksi, who also is a member of Ypsilanti's Non-Motorized Advisory Committee. "I was going east on Forest about a block from where I live and I was following all traffic regulations, when a car hit me and gave me some blunt force trauma to my arm. I only had 5 percent usage of my arm for some time. ... Thank God for physical therapists."
AnnArbor.com file photo
Following months of physical therapy, Krzewinski was and still is an avid cyclist. He and others have organized a week-long Bike-Bus-Walk Week to promote safe cycling and alternative transportation uses in the Washtenaw County area.
Residents are being encouraged to try walking, bicycling or using bus service during the week of May 12-18 in the hope that they will continue to use alternative transit more throughout the year.
"I got off fairly easy, but you have some people that have been hit and they have serious lifelong disabilities," Krzewinski said.
Organizations such as Bike Ypsi, the city of Ypsilanti's Non-Motorized Advisory Committee, the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority and the Friends of the Border To Border Trail planned the following events and activities:
Water Street Border To Border Trail Walk - Monday, May 13, at 7 p.m.
A short walk between 30 and 45 minutes will occur along the soon-to-be-paved Water Street segment of the Border to Border trail. Participants are being asked to meet at the Water Street Trail parking lot, at the east end of the Michigan Avenue bridge across the Huron River, just east of downtown Ypsilanti.
The walk will be led by Ypsilanti City Council Member Pete Murdock, who will also be talking about Water Street, it's history and developments in the area.
Ride of Silence- Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m.
A slow paced, silent ride to commemorate cyclists killed or injured in the area and in the country will begin at the Ypsilanti Recreation Park at Congress Street and Oakwood Street. The event is sponsored by Bike Ypsi.
Bicyclists in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti will join others from around the nation in a ride to commemorate those who have been injured or killed while riding, Krzewinski said. The event is meant to raise awareness that bicyclists have a legal right to ride on streets.
AnnArbor.com file photo
Nationally, nearly 700 cyclists are killed each year while riding and most occur in cities and suburbs. In Michigan during 2011, the most recent data from the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning shows there were 1,895 bicycles involved in motor vehicles crashes, with 24 bicyclists killed and 1,479 injured.
The ride is jointly sponsored by the Ann Arbor Bicycle Touring Society and Bike Ypsi. The ride is open to the public and will last about an hour. All participants are asked to wear a bicycle helmet and to obey all traffic laws.
Basic Biking Talk - Thursday, May 16, at 7 p.m. at the Library Plaza Park at 219 W. Michigan Avenue, east of the downtown library.
Advice and tips will be given to help people navigate in busy urban areas safely and legally and basic maintenance information will be given. In case of rain, the talk will be held indoors next door at B-24s Cafe. This event is sponsored by Bike Ypsi.
Bike To Work Day - Friday, May 17- The Bike to Work Day event encourages residents to use alternative forms of transportation to get to work. For those needing to go to Ann Arbor, the Bike Ypsi group will ride to Ann Arbor, leaving Ypsilanti at 7:30 a.m. from Beezys Cafe at 20 N. Washington St.
Water Street Trail Cleanup/Workday - Saturday, May 18.
As part of the overall "Ypsi Pride" day, this event will concentrate on cleaning up and improving the Border To Border Trail in the Water Street development area. Participants will meet at 9 a.m. on the southwest corner of Mark Street and South Street. Volunteers are asked to sign up prior to the cleanup here. A post-cleanup free volunteer picnic will be held at Prospect Park from noon to 2 p.m.
In addition to the events above, Krzewinski said two "ghost bikes," bicycles that have been stripped of color, displays have been erected at the southeast corner of Cross Street and College Place and the southwest corner of Forest Avenue and Prospect.
The ghost bikes are meant to urge cyclists and drivers to share the road with each other.
"They have a message that says a cyclist was hurt near this spot," Krzewinski said. "This is tied into that ride of silence. It's almost a worldwide event."
Krzewinski said since his accident, he does believe Ypsilanti has become a safer place for bicyclists and pedestrians. However, he said there's still work to do.
"I'd say it's become safer because you're starting to see more and more bicycles out," he said. "When you see a lot more people out doing an activity, it becomes a bit safer. There's still a lot to be done, but at the same time, we're making pretty good progress. We're really happy to have city government and the downtown associations support that biking makes for a more vibrant community."

My DD already takes a bus to and from Ann Arbor every single day. Cannot wait until she gets a car and on her own. The bus is great? But if you need to get somewhere quick? Forget it. Too much trouble. Except to get to Art Fair and stuff.
Mon, May 13, 2013 : 6:24 p.m.
Last night about 7:15 at the corner of southeast corner of Golfside and Washtenaw I was waiting for a red light to go green on my Scooter. To my right without warning when the light turned green the car that was behind me passed me on the right then cut me off coming back left. I was shocked to see a gray haired elderly man and his female passenger (his wife?) with a disabled plate on his car pull a stunt like this. Be careful out there. The behavior of this guy was something I would expect from an impatient youngster with little driving experience. There are way to many people driving cars that have little or no respect for alternative forms of transportation. I am learning this very quickly after owning this Scooter for only a week. Wear a helmet and other protective gear. I don't think most car drivers will ever get it that they do not own the road! I was wishing a Sheriff's Deputy or a Pittsfield Police Officer would have witnessed this and slammed this guy with a few citations.
Thu, May 16, 2013 : 1:07 a.m.
I hate to say it, but I have had a few run in with a few seniors in my day. After watching Betty Whites new show? I sometimes wonder if her friends aren't in some of those cars. Off Their Rockers is a pretty hilarious show.

Mon, May 13, 2013 : 6:16 p.m.
Don't residents of Washtenaw County and unions depend heavily on the auto industry for our livelihood?
Mon, May 13, 2013 : 5:51 p.m.
I don't know of a more dangerous place to ride a bike in this area. The few bike lanes are strewn with debris and/or pedestrians. The roads are so full of potholes that they're barely passable for cars and trucks. Not to mention, those same cars and trucks are trying to avoid the potholes, too. They might hit a bicyclist trying to keep pay attention enough to keep their vehicles from falling apart.

Review: Jack Daniel's Ginger Splash
Jack Daniel's has several pre-mixed, ready-to-drink cocktails on the market. This one, which promises the classic combination of JD and ginger ale, is its latest.
Mind you, this is simply a (naturally) flavored malt beverage (at a mere 5 percent alcohol), but at least it looks the part, with a moderate caramel color on offer. The taste is quite light, a hint of ginger ale and the barest touch of whiskey character — a vague vanilla and charcoal wisp that doesn't exactly scream bourbon country, but may at least make you understand why the Jack Daniel's name is on the label.
Worth a taste for the summer libation seeker who doesn't care for beer or wine. Connoisseurs can pass.

- 700g – 1kg steak or other beef or chicken easily cut into strips
- 1 medium onion, sliced, or 15 medium spring onions (same amount of carbs)
- 2 large capsicums, sliced (two different colours is nice)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 2 Tablespoons oil
Fry some garlic first before adding meat. Add some sliced fresh or minced ginger for a flavour variation.
- Combine soy sauce, lime juice, chilli powder, and oil. If grilling, save a couple of Tablespoons aside to toss with the vegetables.
- Slice the meat into about 1 – 1.5cm slices. If using steak, be sure to cut perpendicular to the grain, or you will be chewing a very long time.
- If cooking in a frying pan, marinate everything together in a bowl or plastic bag (a zip-type works well). If grilling, marinate the meat and veggies separately. Even a few minutes helps, up to 2 hours is great.
- If grilling, remove from marinade and grill.
- For cooking in a frying pan (preferably regular, not non-stick), cook the meat first. Add a little oil to the pan and get it very hot (the oil will shimmer). If you don't get it hot enough (or crowd too much meat in), the meat will steam instead of browning. When the meat is browned, remove and add veggies. When they begin to soften, return meat to frying pan to heat through.
- Serve with salsa, sour cream, coriander (if desired) and guacamole. If low-carb tortillas are available, that is a nice addition, but a fork works fine.
Meat and vegetables, with 700g steak and spring onions, have 4.5g of effective carbohydrate and 2g of fiber, 28g of protein, and 307cal per serving. The marinade could add as much as 1g of carb (the whole recipe has 5 grams), but obviously not all of it makes it to the table.

Fiber Bloom
Building managers and owners are typically surprised that skylight can stink, horribly, but have no idea what causes this unpleasant condition.
Fiberglass skylights are protected from the elements by a coating sometimes referred to as "gel coat". The coating has a UV blockage component to help prevent the sun's rays from damaging the fiberglass and causing fiber bloom. This coating breaks down over time, and when its lifespan is over, fiber bloom starts to occur.
Fiber bloom is when bacteria are able to get into the fiberglass, and start to break down the material and spread. It's basically a bacterial infection for your building. Its unhealthy for the inhabitants of the building, and causes a very unpleasant stinky smell.
Detection of Fiber Blooming
One method of inspecting the skylight for fiber blooming is by running your hand across the surface on the exterior of the panels. If your hand picks up fiberglass and you see fiberglass particles in the air, then you know that you have lost the gel coat and immediate maintenance is required.
If you notice brown spots inside the panels or even notice an unpleasant or stinky smell permeating the air inside the building then the gel coat is gone and water has penetrated to the interior of the panels. The spots are bacterial growth spots, and the smell is from them breaking down the fiberglass. Replacement of those panels with a product other than fiberglass is recommended.
Fiberglass Gel Coat
Unfortunately the coating applied to the exterior of the skylights by the fiberglass manufacturers does have a short life-span and requires a regular scheduled maintenance. This time span varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Fiberglass Skylight Inspections
Our experience has shown that the skylights should be inspected about every five years to insure that the exterior surface is in good condition and does not degrade too far. If the coating disintegrates it leaves the fiberglass strands exposed and allows water penetration. This should be avoided if at all possible, because it begins a process that is very difficult to return the skylight to its original condition. If caught soon enough a new layer of gelcoat can be applied that will extend the life of the product.
A warning sign of fiberglass breaking down is when the skylight emits a yellow light. This yellow light is bad for our health and typically our clients are tired of the feeling it gives. They express the desire to replace the skylight in order to capture the blue light available from the sun. But if the skylight has become smelly, then it's too late to save, and absolutely needs to be replaced.
Skylight Specialists, Inc., a Denver, CO company brings 35-years of commercial skylight repair experience to the table. We approach skylight repairs from a perspective that comes from decades of hands-on experience with problem skylights. From the smallest to some of the largest skylights in America.

With Valentine's Day just a week away, we're in a romantic mood. Today, erotic romance writer Roni Loren urges us to create a space in our hearts for erotic fiction. Because erotica can be romantic, too.
Often when I tell people I write erotic romance (otherwise known as those books to the general population), I can see what pops into their heads first when they imagine what my books must be about. Sex, sex, and more sex! After all, there is that big glaring "erotic" word to let you know, right?
But it seems they miss the second part of that genre title—romance. I have to hold myself back from saying—wait, no, they're sexy books, but it's really about the characters and their journey. Erotic romance and erotic fiction aren't like adult movies where the supposed "plot" is only there to give scene transitions before the pizza boy and housewife get naked again. Unfortunately, not everybody understands this, and there's a lot of crappy stuff getting thrown out there and labeled "erotica" by people trying to make a quick buck. (Don't be one of those people! lol)
Seriously, nothing is more boring than a book of strung together sex scenes with little to no characterization, conflict, tension, or plot (no matter how well written those sex scenes might be). Who cares if they're swinging from the chandeliers and twirling riding crops if you don't have any connection to the characters in the story? Yawn.
So my goal when I start a new book is always, always to build my characters from the inside out. Maybe it's because I was a social worker before I was a writer, but I need to know what makes my characters tick before I can do anything else with a book. I want backstory. I want angst. I want goals that drive them through the book. I want conflict pressing in on all sides. When the characters do end up naked, I want to be worried about how this is going to change their relationship, how is this going to deepen or derail the romance, how this is going to add to the plot. If a sex scene isn't doing at least one of those things — moving the plot forward or revealing more about the inner journey of the characters — then it should not be in there. Period. If you could lift that sex scene out of the book and it doesn't change the story, then it wasn't needed.
I write romances first and foremost. The erotic parts of the story grow out of who my characters are, what turns them on (in my Loving on the Edge series, that happens to be kink), and the journey they are on. Just like non-erotic scenes, I couldn't pull out a love scene from NEED YOU TONIGHT and plop it into CAUGHT UP IN YOU and have it work because the characters are different, and how they connect both in and out of the bedroom is going to be completely unique to those characters.
So if you're interested in writing this genre, go in knowing you have to do just as much work for erotic fiction as you do for any other book when it comes to plot and characterization. There are no shortcuts. And don't let yourself off the hook by calling it something like "mommy porn" in your head, because if you think that's what you're writing, that's what you'll write.
Good erotic romance can turn you on, sure, (and that's great!) but it also can make you laugh, make you change your perspective on something, make you think (a reviewer recently said this about NEED YOU TONIGHT and I thought Score! Mission accomplished), and it can even make you cry. Be the writer who gives the reader that kind of story. Then you can smile proudly and say, "Yes, I write those kinds of books."
P.S. If you want more on how to make love scenes count, I have a For Writers section on my website with over 100 articles on writing, including an entire section on romance writing and love scenes.
About Roni Loren:
Roni (@RoniLoren) wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills haven't improved, but she likes to think her storytelling ability has. She is the National Bestselling Author of The Loving on the Edge series and was a 2013 RITA award nominee in contemporary romance.

This very interesting conversation piece was brought over and put up in Greenfield Village from the same part of England as the Cotswold Cottage and the Cotswold Forge - Chedworth, Gloucestershire - and was built the same year as the cottage itself - about 1620.
Dovecotes, such as the one in the picture, were built to house doves or pigeons. In the 17th century, birds from dovecotes provided relief from smoked and salted meats during the harsh winters.

Roedad Khan is our currently genius and a previous bureaucrat of our state. He was handled a lot of important task as a secretary of interior minister. It was his responsibility to remain unaware of the actual facts of war. He was good enough in his work. He had distributed an information, till 15 December 1971, that we are gaining victory in battle. Everything was all right, then suddenly BBC distributed news that we were loss. At a time of press briefing of the President. When a report had developed in front of him. General Yahya Khan reacted to see a word of surrender. He said why you had wrote this word, we are not defeated, we just handed this piece of land to India to look after of it. It was a same situation of our Admiral Noman, as he is not agreed to accept his failure. Complete column related to this topic is given below in Urdu.

Revive the Middle Ages directly in your browser. Build cities in the Middle Ages architecture's style and take control over the citizens.
Anno Online is a free online game, what means that no download will be necessary to start enjoying this simulation game on your browser. Start with a small island and you'll have the opportunity to create your own city and design it to your taste with the different types of constructions available, while controlling all that happens with your citizens. Take your city as far as you want by expanding your territory along the map.
The graphic structure, as well as the gameplay mechanics, are based on Anno 1404's ones, although presenting some differences from the famous franchise game . Being an online game, you'll be able to interact with players from all over the world, by swapping items or by playing the cooperative mode.
A faithful recreation of the different ages of history, as well as a realistic economic simulator, are the typical landmarks of the Anno series games, and Anno Online is no exception. With huge lands to build constructions in, you'll be able to configure your territory with over 120 different types of available buildings, and build more than 800 constructions per city.
Like it happens in other games as The Settlers Online, improving the quantity of resources is fundamental for turning your city into an empire. Equally important it is to listen to your citizens and satisfy their needs, so that their happiness is improved and they thus increase their production rate, what will at the same time attract new people to your territory. As your city grows, the quests will become more complicated, and the citizens needs will be more demanding. You decide how to manage your territory and which will be your priorities.
By building ships, you'll be able to explore the vast map in search of new territories, as well as new resources. The development of a new island will be a great challenge.

Just as I am
|Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
|Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot;
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
|Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fightings within, and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
|Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind;
Yes, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
|Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
|Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Nairobi, Kenya
This Song has really ministered to me in this Season. I hear God's voice in its every line.
The LORD bless all who are used of Him to place this great resources of encouragement on line.
The LORD bless this particular Ministry.
Cumberland, MD, United States
My father-in-law is getting ready to go home. Recently he got saved. He keeps playing this song over and over with tears streaming down his face. Glory to God!
Irvine, CA, United States
Just as I am, I come, I come!
College Station, Texas, United States
When I was 24, back in 1977, I watched a crusade on TV. I gave my life to the Lord watching Reverend Graham. His words from God made my Catholic faith come alive. And the words to this song "just as I am" reminds me that He loves me for myself.
Porter Ranch, CA, United States
I am a native of Panama now living in CA. The Crusade came to Panama while I was in high school my sister in junior high. We both sang in the choir. My mother, a counselor at the altar. It was an experience I will never forget. I am now 73. When Billy Graham said "Come with those eyes piercings your very soul" people just came.
It was also the first time I sang " How Great Thou Art ".
I remember Clift Barrows and George Beverly Shea. Their voices??
Omaha, NE, United States
This was the hymn that was sung during my baptism. Now, 47 years later, it holds even more meaning for me. I'm a Catholic now, and unfortunately we don't generally sing this song at Mass.
Tempe, AZ, United States
American Evangelist Billy Graham died recently. At the end of his Crusades, this hymn would be played, and the audience would sing the lyrics. I would go on about one of Billy's controversial quotes, but this hymn really should be what Mr, Graham is all about; leading the lost to Christ. The lyrics are so great. Well done, good and faithful Mr. Graham. May Christ welcome Billy into Heaven with loving arms.
Aba, Abia, Nigeria
I'm always touched when listening to this song. Thank You Jesus for Your unfailing love and for the blood You shed for me on the cross of Calvary.
Beverly, MA, United States
This song came to mind as I feel so overwhelmed with the cares in life and I just want to run to Jesus. Just as I am. thank You for Your blood, Jesus.
Lagos, Nigeria
I so much love this song,
Especially the second stanza "to thee whose blood can cleanse each spot"
Jesus make a faithful servant. The Great Evangelist Billy Graham was one.
Oh Lamb of God, I come...
With tears and an open heart, I come...
We should simply come to the Lord without any way. Hymns, #1048 says, "Just as I am ... / O Lamb of God, I come! I come!" Every morning come to the Lord: "Lord, I come just as I am. I do not know how to pray. I come as I am, in my situation, not knowing. You know. It does not matter how I feel; it is up to Your leading." Every day come to the Lord in this way.
God is Spirit; hence, our contacting and absorbing Him do not depend on our words. Some people utter many words when they pray, but their words are like sounding brass or clanging cymbals; they do not have much value before God. We may not say anything when we come to God, but our whole being, including our heart, should face God. While we look to God, we may sigh and confess that we are incompetent, weak, unable to rise, unpresentable, and thirsty and that we lack words for the gospel and are not inclined to fellowship with the saints. We should lay our inner condition before God and even tell Him that we are short in every matter. No matter what our inner condition is, we should bring it to God. There is a hymn that says, "Just as I am" (Hymns, #1048). This means that we should come to God just as we are without trying to improve or change our condition. Our attitude when we come to God should be to come just as we are.
In England in the early 19th century there was a woman who had Christian parents and who for years had longed to be saved. She went to hear this and that preacher and visited churches and chapels in her search for salvation, but all in vain. One day she wandered into a little chapel with no real expectation in her heart, for she was almost in despair. She sat down at the back. The speaker was an elderly man. Suddenly in the middle of his address he stopped and pointing his finger at her said: 'You Miss, sitting there at the back, you can be saved now. You don't need to do anything!' Light flashed into her heart, and with it peace and joy. Charlotte Elliott went home and wrote her well-known hymn: 'Just as I am, without one plea ... O Lamb of God I come.' Those words have pointed to countless sinners the way of humble access to God through the blood of Christ. Yes, we dare to say to-day, to every one of the inhabitants of Shanghai or of any other city, that they can come to Him and be saved just as they are.
I repeat these incidents just to emphasize that what the sinner cannot do the Saviour is at hand to do for him. It is for this reason that we can tell people that they need not wait for anything, but can come to Him immediately. Whatever their state, whatever their problem, let them bring it and tell it to the Friend of sinners.
I like the song we sang today. It says, "Just as I am...I come! I come!" [Hymns, #1048]. I have told you before that this hymn was written by a woman in her twenties. She said that she had the sense of sin since she was very young. She wondered how a person like herself could face God. To her this was impossible. She visited many churches and talked with many pastors. She asked them questions and tried to find out from them how she could be saved. This went on for seven or eight years. Many told her that she had to do better before she could believe in Jesus. Others told her that she should pray more and study the Bible more. Still others told her to do good and perform noble deeds, or to do this or do that before she could believe in the Lord Jesus and be saved. As time went by, she found herself worse than before. In the end, she met an old preacher. She asked the old man what she must do before she could be saved. The old man put his hand on her back and said, "Go to God just as you are." She jumped up and asked, "Do I not have to do better, make more progress, and improve more before I can believe in the Lord Jesus?" The old man said, "There is no such need. You can come just as you are." On that day, she became clear and realized that she could come to the Lord just as she was.
God knows that we are sick. This is why He sent us the Doctor. Friends, have you ever been sick? Suppose I have a fever of one hundred five degrees. If I ask the doctor to come, will he say that he will come when the temperature drops to one hundred three? The sicker I am, the faster the doctor will come. If a person's temperature is ninety-eight degrees, the doctor may say that since it is only ninety-eight degrees, there is no need to go. The more serious your illness is, the faster the doctor will come. The woman admitted that she was a sick person and that Jesus Christ is the Physician from God who came to heal her. Not long after she returned home, she wrote this hymn: "Just as I am...I come! I come!"

Some of you may have noticed that we've been posting a little less frequently the past few months. While this is in part because we've finally hit the point where we've recorded all of our staple recipes–and thus can only post when we're feeling really creative–it's also because we've been insanely busy with other stuff too.
You probably knew that Amy is a professional artist. Until just recently, she was busting her hump to prepare for a solo show she just had in Chicago at Northeastern Illinois University (the show looked awesome!) as well as an artist talk for the show closing (just this last Friday!).
She finally gets a month here in Reykjavik to explore some new work without any impending deadlines.
For my part, I've spent the last few months getting everything in place for the release of my latest album, Cabin Fever Dreaming.

Planetary Nebula PuWe 1
About this image
This image was obtained with the wide-field view of the Mosaic camera on the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. PuWe 1 is one of the largest and faintest planetary nebula known to exist. The nebula was created when a red giant star blew off its outer layers near the end of its life. The gas is energized by the remaining core of the star, which is called a white dwarf. However it is very faint due to its large size. As planetary nebulae expand they become fainter because the gas moves further from the white dwarf that energizes it. The image was generated with observations in Hydrogen alpha (red) and Oxygen [OIII] (blue) filters. In this image, North is left, East is down.

Frenches Restaurant Limerick
Whilst I am waiting on my Dad to ring me so I can collect him from work, I thought id do a review of Frenches in Limerick City. Located at 13 Catherine Street, I have been going here now for about 2 years. Its become a tradition when I come home to Limerick to go invariably with Sarah and Steve. Going for breakfast was very new to me up until 2 years ago, I never saw the point of it all, when I could cook at home. I first started going with my friend Damien to Cafe Noir, which I should actually review, they do amazing Sausage Rolls.
One week I went for breakfast with Steve, and Cafe Noir was quite busy, so he said to me, fancy going to Frenches up in Catherine St. I thought to myself hmmm i'd always passed by this place and never really thought about going in. Well 2 years later its a regular fixture, their pancakes are what bring me back time and time again. Something I haven't really expressed before is my love for pancakes , ( great time to speaking about them what with Pancake Tuesday right around the corner) I always get the same cause they are gorgeous each time, unless your Sarah Darcy who thinks they change every so often or have too much Lemon juice.
This morning was no different I got my usual 2 lemon and sugar pancakes with Orange Juice. I generally get their coffee which is beautiful , its made by Cofesa, but I had already had a mug of coffee this morning before heading in to Frenches, and I like not to drink too much coffee. As ever though this mornings pancakes were lovely, the unusual chats with Steve and Sarah were also good fun.
I truly love this cafe, its got it all, friendly staff, good food and very well priced, 2 pancakes and OJ for 8.30 euro, which to me is great. In Dublin for example up in Lemon Creperie on Dawson street you could easily pay 12 euro and not have the same quality of food or experience.
Frenches gets 5 out of 5 Cook's Belly Ladles from me.

We consider the application of a nonsmooth discrete element method to geometric design optimization of a balling drum outlet used in production of iron ore balls. The geometric design optimization problem is based on the need for homogeneous flow of balls from the balling drum onto a wide belt conveyor feeding a roller screen (sieve). An outlet with two design variables is investigated and the optimal shape for the given system and production flow is found by exploring the design space with 2000 simulations.
This project was supported by LKAB, ProcessIT Innovations, UMIT Research Lab and Algoryx Simulations
Modeling and simulation of granular matter has important applications in both natural science and industry. One widely used method is the discrete element method (DEM). It can be used for simulating granular matter in the gaseous, liquid as well as solid regime whereas alternative methods are in general applicable to only one. Discrete element analysis of large systems is, however, limited by long computational time. A number of solutions to radically improve the computational efficiency of DEM simulations are developed and analysed. These include treating the material as a nonsmooth dynamical system and methods for reducing the computational effort for solving the complementarity problem that arise from implicit treatment of the contact laws. This allow for large time-step integration and ultimately more and faster simulation studies or analysis of more complex systems. Acceleration methods that can reduce the computational complexity and degrees of freedom have been invented. These solutions are investigated in numerical experiments, validated using experimental data and applied for design exploration of iron ore pelletising systems.
