This will be my first tab album and I can't wait! I'm going to use the blue one for Mother's Day and the Black one for Father's Day. I'll take lots of pictures of both events, and them Mom and Pop will each have an album of their special 2009 day. I'll give them the albums for their birthday gifts - I love being ahead of the game!

Die Wirtschaftsberatung KPGM sieht Signale für Einbrüche im europäischen Golfmarkt. In Deutschland sei zwar ein Zuwachs von 1,8 Prozent diagnostiziert, der Zuwachs beruhe hier aber besonders an der herausragenden Zahl an Frauen als Golfer in Deutschland. Die Ergebnisse von KPMG im Einzelnen:
European Golf marketing report from the International KPGM Economic Office:
The report include:
Whats next for golf in Europe?
While golf is not considered a bellwether for economic conditions in Europe, there is little doubt of the cause-and-effect link between the economy and the success of golf as a participation sport. The number of golfers in Europe has more than doubled in the past 25 years, buoyed by economic growth and the spread of the game to both developed and emerging economies. However, in 2011, European golf experienced its first fall in participation in more than two decades.
While we expect 2012 to remain a tough year for Europes golf market, a recovery in the Eurozone and an overall upswing in the world economy would play an important part in the uptake of golf by new and returning players. However, the timing and nature of such a recovery is obviously difficult to forecast.
And although much of the golf market stagnation in Europe may be attributed to the overall economic climate, continued support and investment in new programs will be needed to sustain demand and generate further growth in the game, especially in mature and developed golf markets.
Golf clubs need to proactively and effectively face up to the challenging economic climate to retain members or attract new golfers. Based on our survey, rather than introducing youth and family promotional programs, 30-40% of Europes operators and club managers actually increased prices in 2011. On the other hand, more than half of clubs have not invested in improved marketing and (somewhat surprisingly) many have not yet capitalized on the opportunities provided by online marketing and social media.
Today, there is a need for joint efforts by industry stakeholders arguably more so now than at any time in the past two decades. Theref
- After more than 20 years of growth, Europes golf market experienced the first decline in golf participation, with a net loss of 46,000 registered players in 2011.
- Nine countries experienced a decline in the number of registered golfers, but the most significant falls were in three large golf markets: UK & Ireland -42,700 (-3.1%), where the number of golfers has been falling since 2007, Sweden -21,000 (-4.1%) and Spain -9,700 (-2.9%).
- Some countries have counterbalanced Europes overall decline in golf participation: Germany
- +10,800 (1.8%), the Netherlands +7,600 (2.2%), Finland +4,600 (3.6%) and Eastern Europes
- most established golf market, the Czech Republic +3,500 (7.6%).
- Despite their potential, the growth in demand for golf in Eastern European countries was insignificant, in absolute terms, in 2011.
- German-speaking countries1 and the Netherlands, remain flagship markets for female participation, with more than 30% of players being women. Female participation is also high in these countries in absolute terms, providing a total of 430,000 women golfers (40% of the total in Europe).
- Some emerging markets encourage golf participation through junior programmes, which is reflected in the notably high share of junior golfers in some countries (e.g. Turkey, Serbia, Greece). While in absolute terms this represents only a few thousand young players, this is a potentially important factor in the future development of the game in these countries.
- No countries experienced a significant growth in golf supply, but some new courses opened in Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Poland, for example!!!!

2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Rally Announced for Intermot
Piaggio announced it will present a new more off-road-capable version of the Aprilia Caponord at next week's Intermot show in Cologne, Germany.
The new 2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Rally swaps out the current model's 17-inch aluminum alloy rims for wire-spoke front wheels (including a 19-incher up front), and added aluminum saddlebags, auxiliary lighting, crash bars and engine guard for better off-roading ability.
The Caponord Rally also comes with the Aprilia Dynamic Damping semi-active suspension system as well as ride-by-wire throttle, three selectable engine maps, traction control, cruise control and switchable ABS.
Piaggio says the Rally will arrive in European showrooms in January 2015, though it's too early to know if/when we can see it in North America. We'll have more details on Sept. 30 when Piaggio unveils the 2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Rally.

Back to old-fashioned cricket.
Seymour Nurse passed away earlier this year: http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/player/52636.html
He was one of the reasonably strong members of the West Indies invincibles of the 1960s, playing 29 Tests between 1960 and 1969.
And he was one of the few to score a double century in his last Test, which was https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17283/scorecard/63038/new-zealand-vs-west-indies-3rd-test-west-indies-tour-of-new-zealand-1968-69
These are the few who achieved this:
As we can see, Sandham and Ponsford scored more than Nurse's 258 in their final Tests.
Spare a thought for Sandham. He was the first to score a Test 300, and his match total of 375 was a record until 1974 when Greg Chappell overtook it. But an average cricket fan of today (or, indeed, from the 1940s onward) probably would not have heard of him unless they were deep into history.
Now we see that Sandham scored 325 and 50 in his last Test: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17590/scorecard/62579/west-indies-vs-england-4th-test-england-tour-of-west-indies-1929-30
And Ponsford likewise scored 266 and 22 in his last Test (with Bradman making 244 and 77): https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/17565/scorecard/62623/england-vs-australia-5th-test-australia-tour-of-england-1934
It was not often that Bradman made a double century but was outscored by a team-mate.
So we see that SM Nurse, who made 258 in his only innings in his last Test, holds the record for the highest last innings score in all Tests.
Others to score a double century in their last Test innings are:
Aravinda de Silva; 206 in his last first-class match.
JN Gillespie; 201* as a night-watchman batting at No 3 instead of his usual 9.
And Ross Taylor has scored 200 in his last Test innings in March 2019, and clearly will be around for a while.
For India, the record for the highest score in the last innings is 193 by CA Pujara in Jan 2019, followed by 159 by RR Pant in the same match. Both of them will be around for a while.
The genuine answer to this is VM Merchant, with 154 vs England in 1951-52. VS Hazare outscored him with 164*. Other Indians with a century in their last Test innings are VL Manjrekar (102* vs NZ in 1964-65) and M Azharuddin (102 vs SA in 1999-2000).

One office tower's vertical garden brings new life to Tokyo's business district.
Pasona's headquarter's vertical garden is filling out and bringing new life to the crowded office streetscape between Nishonbashi and Tokyo Station. The lushly planted wall includes many traditional Japanese garden plants and imports such as blueberry bushes. I like how it contrasts with the surrounding office towers, from the 1980s to recent years, and demonstrates that the potential for office wall gardens to benefit everyone inside and outside the building.
It's amazing how much the garden has grown since I last visited Pasona in May. I am very excited to see this corporate garden become a landmark in the Yaesu district. It would be great for Mori or Mitsubishi to follow this example and experiment with vertical gardens and wildlife habitats on much taller Tokyo buildings. I also hope that Pasona continues to innovate with its urban landscape. Sidewalk gardens? More fruit trees? Butterfly hatcheries? Honeybees? Falcon's nests?
Below are some details photos, including leaves that have turned red this fall, and some late-in-the-year pink roses.

It has been awhile since I have written on this page. I had created a facebook page called A Day in the Life and was using this page to write about my daughter and our journey with her chronic health issues.
I did like updating the page and did so quite frequently because it was convenient but I have decided that I am going to come back to blogging on here.
I don't know much about how to step up a blog or making it look pretty like some of the blogs that I see but I hope that I will learn as I go.
I will still forward my postings here over onto facebook and will not take down the page. I will probably share things on there like articles and such that pertain to Pulmonary Hypertension.
I am excited about coming back to this type of forum. I am not going to put pressure on myself by saying I will blog once a week, twice a week, once a month etc. I will just do it when I need to update about my daughter.
I am grateful for the followers that I have on my facebook page and hope that they will follow me over here.

"The environment is where we all meet; where all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share." -Lady Bird Johnson
Whether you already fund or would like to start supporting environmental projects, the Environmental Funders Network is here to support you.
The environment links with all aspects of our lives – our health, well-being, fresh air, food, water, energy and economic prosperity. Its wonders and diversity are not just magnificent backdrops for human activity, they are the wellspring for all life. Almost any social cause you might care about, from poverty alleviation to food security, migration to human rights, is entwined with environmental issues. Yet donations supporting the environment are estimated to represent less than four per cent of total foundation giving in the UK1 and less than five per cent of public donations2. The solutions to environmental problems exist and enormous progress has been made in recent years, but if we are to reverse biodiversity loss, tackle climate change, restore our ecological systems and ensure a healthy future for our descendants, far more funding will be needed.
The Environmental Funders Network aims to increase the overall level of financial support for environmental causes and to help environmental philanthropy to be as effective as it can be. Over 150 foundations, family offices and high level individual donors take part in the network, and among our ranks are some of the most experienced and strategic philanthropists in Britain. They support each other, providing advice and sharing knowledge on the most efficient and results-orientated approaches to tackling environmental issues.
The Environmental Funders Network can help you by:–
- giving you bespoke support to navigate the range of environmental issues, identify the causes and impacts that are important to you and make your giving as effective as possible
- connecting you to experienced environmental philanthropists who are already funding the areas you are interested in
- providing forums for you to engage with a broad range of other environmental funders, and keep abreast of current issues and approaches to solving complex problems
- providing resources to help you on your journey, including inspiration from other philanthropists, research into green grantmaking in the UK, and feedback from those on the frontline of environmental protection – the CEOs of environmental charities.

WINNIPEG — Driver safety shields are being added to six transit buses in Winnipeg to see how the barriers work.
The city says the pilot project will last at least six months so drivers have time to provide feedback on which of two shield designs is the best.
Several security changes were announced in the city's 2018 budget after a transit driver was attacked by a passenger last February.
Irvine Jubal Fraser, who was 58, died after he was stabbed multiple times.
The bus had reached the end of the line late at night and Fraser was trying to remove the man, who had been sleeping at the back of the bus.
Other proposed safety measures include additional transit security and point duty inspectors.
In June, someone threw a large piece of concrete at a transit driver and hit him in the head. The driver was not badly hurt.
The cost to buy and install each shield could be as much as $5,000. Depending on the results, all 600 transit buses could be equipped with shields.
"A growing city like Winnipeg needs an efficient, well-functioning, and safe transit service," Mayor Brian Bowman said in a release Friday.
The transit union did not show up for the annoucement. It says the city is moving too slow on bus safety, and didn't want to be part of what it called a photo opporturnity.
"They're making it out to be a big deal and make a big show out of it, and as far as we're concerned it's a very small baby step towards what has to be done," said Aleem Chaudhrey, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1505.
Peter Bird, who takes the bus, says drivers put up with a lot, and he was in favour of the shields.
"The bus driver would feel safer, instead of getting into an altercation with someone who's being disruptive to the bus driver or getting spit on," said Bird.

I love the cockatoos (?) in the trees! Bear says we'll be on the next plane but of course she's out of her mind.
My, that is icy Tracy!
We're still waiting for winter to arrive here – enjoyed a lovely 25-Celsius today in Pretoria…
25c sounds like a heat wave to me, Dries. Hopefully you'll get a few days of winter. Some parts got some nice drizzle with the cold front. We only got a few spots unfortunately.
Given that Pretoria's long-term average temperature for July is just a fraction above 15-Celsius I am sure this year's unseasonal temps count as a heatwave in the technical sense! We're in the summer rainfall latitudes up here in PTA, only Cape Town and surrounds gets most of its precipitation in winter. So our winters are usually clear and cold.
Do you normally get summer or winter rain in Canberra?
We normally get winter rains, Dries. However, this is changing.
I hope you enjoyed that wintry blast yesterday Tracy. It even was a bit cold here last night but the day was a nice 20C 🙂
We've had nothing but rain for three days. The winds were forecast but didn't really eventuate. Lucky for me because I had to go out for a couple of hours on Friday with Cindy while people looked at my house. Not fun when you don't have a car. The sky here looks like the first picture almost the exact same shade of grey.
I hope you and Cindy managed to stay dry, Vanda. Yes, a car would have been handy for you. Can you take Cindy to the shop?
You are so lucky to get that nice rain. We've just had wind. Rain threatens but never eventuates.
Where are you off to when you sell your house?
I wouldn't take Cindy to the shop because there really isn't any room for her to settle down. I'm glad we're getting the rain, except when I have no choice but to be out in it.
Where I go next is a bit of a mystery as yet. It will depend where Naomi and I can find a house to suit us, 3 dogs, 3 cats and all our collections. We'd like to be by the sea though.
Just slightly. 🙂
So odd to think of chilly as we suffer incredible heat! You've definitely shown the effect of wind, a serious challenge
Thank you, Tina.
You show a unique perspective of each image and I really enjoy them. I'm not a photographer as i haven't yet figured out the mechanics but you have an artist's eye.
Thank you, Sharon. That is very kind of you. I am having fun learning the camera and it gets me out of the house. It also means that I'm not doing any art, but I figure the exercise I get on my expeditions is probably better for me than being hunched over my art table. I think you would love it behind the camera too. It sure beats being in front of it.
It is just starting to get warm in my neck of the woods. And we are in July! Glad to hear the horses were alright. Hope you are doing well, too. Cheers!
The really cold days are few, Dominique. I'm doing much better this winter. I caught a whiff of the coming spring. I think it will be early this year. I hope you get a few warm days before your weather starts to turn again.
Funny thing is that at the moment it's very hot and humid in my neck of the woods. But I am like a lizard and I enjoy it. Although, it is so warm that yesterday my iphone overheated in the car. I was on Google maps and it stopped and showed on the screen: "iphone needs to cold down". Lol
Brrr! That's cold! Poor horses! Around here it's sweltering hot and no air movement which drives me up the wall (well, at least in my head because it obviously would be too strenuous 😉 ). I've been waking up early today because it felt like there was no air to breath left in my bedroom!
I've been thinking about you, Sarah, and all that heat. In Australia, we don't know how to keep our houses warm, and probably the reverse is true in Europe. Hope you have a fan at least to keep the air moving. There are signs that spring is on its way here, so hopefully it will cool down soon in your part of the world.
The heat is a real challenge here in Europe. Most people here in Germany don't have air conditioning in their homes because it is seldom ever needed. I bought myself a fan last year because then it was just as hot. I you want it cooler you have to go the shopping malls which is not really my kind of thing, but I admit it's nice to cool off. 😉
What bothers me is that people don't see the warming up as a consequence of our actions and that most likely from now on summers will get hotter and drier around here.

Broncos add former Bengal WR Caldwell
The Broncos added more depth to their wide receiver corps Wednesday by signing former Cincinnati Bengals receiver Andre "Bubba" Caldwell.
It's only a coincidence that Caldwell was a former teammate of Tim Tebow at Florida, and he arrived in Denver on the day that the Broncos were working to trade Tebow away. (Tebow and Caldwell were teammates in Gainesville in 2006 and 2007, and Caldwell was Tebow's top target during his Heisman season in 2007.)
Caldwell is 6-0, 190 pounds, and was mostly a No. 3 receiver during his time in Cincinnati, a role he could fill here in Denver.
Caldwell posted about the deal on his Twitter account: "Denver here I come! It's bittersweet! I'll miss all the whodey fans but I'm excited to be a Bronco!"

- Choose your industry -
Web breaks at production speed are a well-known risk in web offset printing and can never be excluded. In heat set web offset printing, this problem arises mainly in the dryer. In case of a web break, the web is pulled back into the last printing unit and is wrapped around the cylinders. These wrap-ups can result in long lasting production stop-pages and even severe damage to blanket and plate cylinders and other mechanical parts in the printing unit. Thanks to Baldwin´s web break sensors the protection against wrap-ups is continuously active.
Baldwin's automatic web catching device is a press protection system that reliably eliminates the dreaded wrap-ups after a web break.
The WebCatcher, a fully-integrated automatic web catching system from Baldwin, is designed for all popular web offset presses operating at web speeds up to 18 m/s (only S18).
The WebCatcher can be retrofitted in existing printing lines without any problems.
Costly, unproductive downtime – which can last between half-an-hour and two-and-a-half hours – can be avoided and the press can resume production after only a very short delay.

Liberia: The next six years and beyond
OPIC Executive Vice President Mimi Alemayehou on Liberian President Johnson-Sirleaf
When Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf first became President of a war-torn Liberia in 2006, she helped usher in a period of reconciliation and rebuilding, as she worked to reduce poverty, strengthen businesses and forge stronger ties with the United States and foreign investors. This week President Johnson-Sirleaf – a recent Nobel Peace Prize winner — was inaugurated into her second term in office, a period that offers promise for continued growth and recovery.
As a partner in multiple Liberian businesses that are playing an important role in rebuilding the country's long-neglected infrastructure, OPIC, is looking forward to the next six years. It was during Johnson-Sirleaf's first term that OPIC reopened operations in Liberia for the first time in 16 years. Our financing, political risk insurance, and support for investment funds have supported a range of projects, including plans to build affordable green homes, as well as expanding a school, constructing a hotel that will attract additional business activity, and producing biomass from aging rubber trees (pictured).
OPIC has a long history supporting industries from agriculture to financial services in Liberia, dating all the way back to the year the agency was founded in 1971. And while our expertise is working in developing, post-conflict regions, we cannot do our work without the support of local governments and businesses. As we congratulate President Johnson-Sirleaf on her her reelection, we also thank her administration for the work that is helping to make Liberia – like so much of Africa – a region poised for exceptional growth.

Unlike the last shutdown showdown perpetrated on Washington D.C. by the Democrat Party, it looks like the liberals are already declaring defeat before the next shutdown comes near. With the latest proclamations by Senate Democrats it is clear they don't have the stomach for another showdown with Trump after he walked all over them the last time.
In January the Democrats made a big, big show of refusing to support a continuing budget to pay to keep the U.S. government open for business. They refused to sign onto the budget unless the GOP supported amnesty for illegals and agreed to support Obama's so-called DREAMERs. But after a single business day New York Democrat Senate Leader Chuck Schumer folded like a cheap suit and backed off the shutdown threat.
Afterwards, literally everyone in government (and even in the left-wing media) said that President Donald Trump rolled Schumer in the shutdown negotiations. The universal pronouncement came down that Schumer caved in and got nothing out of the one-day shutdown. He got no movement on illegals, nothing on DACA, and no concessions on spending. In fact, the Republicans slipped more tax cuts into the budget and even rolled back Obamacare a bit more.
So, not only did the Democrats get no forward movement on their goals, they lost ground!
Trump absolutely rolled them.
But that last budget was a short-term fix and we are already getting near the next deadline for another budget bill to be signed. So, will the Democrats force another shutdown?
Seems the Magic Eight Ball is saying "no" to that.
According to BizPaccReview, the Democrats' number two man, Illinois' Dick Durbin, was heard saying on CNN that he doesn't anticipate that his party will argue for another shutdown.
With the last government funding agreement ending this week, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill, appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday to say that his party will not be shutting down the federal government again, even though an immigration deal is not expected to be reached.
"There is not likely to be a DACA deal, though we're working every single day on telephone calls and person-to-person to try to reach this bipartisan agreement," said Durbin. "I don't see a government shutdown coming."
Capitulating before the shutdown date even nears. That is telling.
Durbin went on to try and claim that the left is "making progress" because "moderate Republicans" are coming his way on a deal for illegals. This is not likely true, but, then again, nothing Dick Durbin ever says is true. He is one of the most notorious liars in the entire upper chamber — and that is really saying something.
But, Durbin went farther. He even tried to move the goal posts and claim that this is all they wanted during the last shutdown drama.
"That's what we were looking for when there was a shutdown," he told CNN's Jake Tapper. "We have achieved that goal. We're moving forward."
That's amusing. In fact, the Democrats got nothing and are not moving forward on the issues they said they were pushing during the last shutdown. On top of that, they started the shutdown showdown saying their obstruction was a matter of principle and that any backing off was "un-American." Then, a day later they backed off.
Here is the fact:Trump is trouncing them on this. And they know it.

* Our thoughts and prayers to our friends and family and everyone in Sandy's path. Stay safe guys! xo
When our vacuum started making a death-rattle a few weeks ago, Kyle and I had different reactions. He considered the volume of the monstrous noise, amortized the cost of owning the vacuum over the last many years, and said it was "time for a new one." I imagined it abandoned in a landfill somewhere, taking eight hundred jillion years to decompose, the jammy fingerprints of two young boys gradually petrifying as armageddon came and went. "I think we should try to get it fixed."
Neither of these is an entirely right way of making decisions. I can see that. But I am the bossier person in our marriage (yes, I can see that too) so to the repair shop went the vacuum. And actually, it was Kyle who took it there. Because he is often the nicer and more accommodating person in our marriage. (Yep, full on 20/20 here). I like to call this sort of thing, the likes of which keep our little family running smoothly, teamwork. Kyle might have another name for it.
The vacuum came home from the repair shop "good as new" – or so the guy on the phone told me before I
urgently sent lovingly asked Kyle to go pick it up. But two days later: plug it in, power it on – a minute of glorious cleaning and then – how to describe the sound that came next? The vacuum was screaming at us, and apparently trying to explode itself into thousands of tiny sharp dangerous pieces. And then the "performance" light lit up blazing red. In case we weren't listening I guess. I called the vacuum repair shop and told the kind lady who answered about my suicidal vacuum cleaner.
"It was supposed to be good as new! And obviously it is NOT!" She suggested we bring it in so they could have a look. I marched right down.
When they took it "to the back" to look at it, I followed along. No way were these con artists going to make another so-called "repair" and charge us for another part, not with me on the case!
"Hm," said the bespectacled older gentleman working the bench. He peered at the records he retrieved on his ancient computer. "Looks like I replaced the … hm … Well, you got a deal!" He chuckled. "We didn't charge you for the labor involved because I hadn't included it in the original estimate. Computers!" He chuckled again.
"Uh huh. Can you just take a look? Please?"
"Well of course." He turned it on, listened for a moment to the horrible rattling screeching awfulness, and nodded. He turned it off, and chuckled again. "You've got a clogged machine. Boys at home?"
"I – yes. They're actually in the car with my husband. That's why I'm in a hurry."
"Mmmhm." He carefully turned over the machine and unscrewed a hose at the back. He reached his gnarled old fingers in, and pulled out a massive dusty clump. "Here you go," he said, and tried to hand it to me. I did not take it.
"I – what?"
"Normally we charge you $20 for removing the blockage, but since you were just here, I'll waive the fee." He chuckled again. "Now you tell those boys, if they want to be mechanics and help fix things, they need to remember to take their tools out when they're done. Tell them to STOP!" And now he laughed, uproariously. Once again the wad of gray was shoved at me. "They'll probably want that back."
"Jacob, do you know anything about how this got into the vacuum cleaner?"
"I don't! Lucas did it."
"Lucas did what?"
"I turned it over and pulled out the hose and Lucas put it in there and then I screwed it back together."
Teamwork. It's how we get things done around here.
Lime-Peanut Paste
This recipe came to us from our friends Danielle and Phil (and their sweet girl Ellie) in those wintry, blurry weeks after Lucas was born. Danielle dropped it off for dinner in the form of a vegetarian stir-fry (I've included her recipe below the paste recipe) with a big pot of coconut-scallion rice (replace the cooking water for your favorite rice with coconut milk, add chopped scallions at the end). I couldn't stop eating it – a little punchy, super fresh and bright, with a complex flavor that I wanted more and more of.
That lime and peanuts would work so perfectly, wonderfully well together comes as a surprise to exactly no one who knows anything about Mexican, Thai, or Vietnamese food. But that something so special tasting could be so easy to make was a little surprising – and a lot awesome. It became an instant go-to, a once-a-weeker, a fall back. It became part of our family. It's a little homely looking, but it has a nice bright greenness, and shocking good taste … if you give it a chance I think you might adopt it too.
Danielle found and modified this recipe when she was living in Europe, and I have tweaked her version only somewhat. The original calls for chili paste or Sriracha, but Kyle and I just serve that now on the side. But if you are cooking for a crowd where everyone likes a lot of heat, go ahead and add it right in to the food processor. We always have this as a vegetarian meal, with golden-fried tofu like Danielle makes it, or just with vegetables. But I have no doubt it would also kick butt on a stirfry made with chicken, beef, or even fish, depending on what you feel like eating.
A word on the herbs: the original recipe calls for all cilantro, and you can't go wrong with that. But I like this combination of cilantro, Thai basil, and mint. I have also used cilantro mixed with some regular basil and a few tarragon leaves, and that is nice too. 3 cups total, and at least 1 of cilantro, should work well with most any herbs.
Finally: this makes what I think of as a triple batch (Where one batch = enough to cover a stir fry for 4 people. At our house, one batch means a generous dinner plus one lunch of leftovers). I usually divide it in thirds and freeze two portions in baggies. You can thaw one in a bowl of warm water in the time it takes to steam some veggies and heat some leftover rice, and boom – you have a dinner worth writing about.
Zest and juice of three good-sized limes
Optional: an inch or so of grated fresh ginger
2 cups cilantro
1/2 cup mint leaves
1/2 cup Thai basil leaves
3-4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1-2 tablespoons fish sauce (substitute shoyu to keep it vegan)
1-2 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil, as needed
Optional heat: 2-3 tablespoons of chili paste or Sriracha
In a food processor or blender, process lime zest, lime juice, herbs, garlic, and peanuts. (Add the ginger if using – it brings a nice twist on occasion, when I have a little extra ginger kicking around). With the machine running, add fish sauce and 1 tablespoon oil. It will end up looking like pesto. If it needs a little more to bind it, add the additional tablespoon of oil.
That's it! :)
Danielle's Basic Stir Fry Recipe for Lime-Peanut Paste
I lifted this right from the email she sent me after Lucas was born – she is a pro. Thanks Danielle!
16 oz of extra firm tofu, cut into large rectangles (best to use extra firm so it will hold its shape during the cooking process). I usually brown the tofu, then chop it into bite sized cubes. I think it is easier to cook this way, but you can also just brown cubed tofu. Either way works.
One small onion, slivered
2-3 carrots, sliced
One bunch of broccoli, chopped into florets
To cook the tofu: use either a grill pan or a skillet and heat a little oil. Add the tofu and cook until it is golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan.
Sautee the onion on high heat, add the carrots and broccoli for a minute or two. Add ½ c water to the pan and cover for 1-2 minutes to steam the veggies.
Once the veggies are cooked, turn off the heat, add the tofu, and stir in the lime-peanut paste to coat.
Serve over coconut-scallion rice.

Some rangers aren't the type to put their steel and sweat behind fighting particular kinds of creatures. Instead, these shrewd warriors alter their focus and dedicate their efforts to dismantling enemy organizations. Guildbreakers stoke their enmity for their foes, and they train to track the movements of rival organizations, and even to infiltrate these groups to gather secret intelligence.
Class Skills
A guildbreaker adds Bluff, Disguise, and Knowledge (local) to his list of class skills, instead of Handle Animal, Heal, and Knowledge (geography).
This alters the ranger's class skills.
Favored Organization (Ex)
When a guildbreaker selects a favored enemy, he can opt to select a specific organization, such as a particular thieves' guild, in lieu of a specific creature type. The guildbreaker must select this option for his first favored enemy, but he can choose either option for his later favored enemies. The guildbreaker's bonuses from favored enemy apply against official members of this organization regardless of their creature type, but not against the organization's allies, paid mercenaries, or forced labor. This ability only applies if the guildbreaker knows that the target is a member of the organization.
This ability alters favored enemy.
Read the City (Ex)
A guildbreaker spends most of his time in cities and large population centers. As a result, he gains an innate sense of comings and goings in the hustle around him. When in an urban environment, a guildbreaker can use the Survival skill to gather information, but only about the movements of creatures and what sort of people (races, social classes, predominant professions, and the like) occupy the community.
Unlike with the normal way to gather information, the guildbreaker studies the signs of the city instead of asking around, so it doesn't spread word about the nature of his questions to others.
This ability replaces wild empathy.
Deep Cover (Ex, Su)
Guildbreakers may work to dismantle their enemies' power structures from within, and they know how to gather resources and the necessary trappings in order to masquerade as a member of those organizations. At 4th level, a guildbreaker adds a circumstance bonus equal to twice his favored organization bonus to all Bluff and Disguise checks to appear to be a member of the organization (this does not apply on Disguise checks to change his appearance and replace a specific member, but rather to checks related to appear to be a general member of the organization).
The bonus on Bluff checks from deep cover stacks with the guildbreaker's overall bonus from favored organization if the person he is attempting to deceive is also a member of that organization.
A guildbreaker posing as a member of one of his favored enemy organizations automatically defeats truthtelling magic (as if under the effects of glibness), but only for the purpose of claiming to be a member of the organization. Truth-telling magic can still expose him with a more indirect question, such as a member of a non-religious evil organization asking the guildbreaker for the identity of his patron deity.
This ability replaces hunter's bond.
Crowd Stride (Ex)
At 7th level, a guildbreaker can slip through crowded streets with ease. His movement speed is not reduced when moving through a crowd.
This ability replaces woodland stride.

A story shared.
Nobody ever came close (in biology, sex education, church marriage preparation or conversation of any kind) to warning me ahead of time that one in six couples in the UK struggle to conceive and one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage.
I used to be cross about this, thinking that a person has a duty to be honest and speak out their sad stories. I remain convinced that it's a good thing to do, if you can. But I realise now that it's wrong to demand or expect personal and painful storytelling from an Other. Such vulnerability is risky and can only be received as a gift
And there are good reasons for the silence, including grief and a desire to protect. I mean, it's hard even to write a blog post about it, aware as I am of many family and friends living with the struggle.
A less risky way of sharing your story is to soak in a founding myth, pouring into its depths your own personal exerience and grief.
I remember finding new delight in the bible as we hoped to conceive. Not in some pious or assinine 'Just. Have. Faith' way but because I suddenly saw how vivid was its preoccupation with barren women like me. Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth, Rachel, Michal and so on. I saw that my story, however it was going to end, was one with eternal echoes and significance and I felt I was sharing it with ancient others.
Today, re-reading fairy tales, I again discover these sadnesses everywhere. In Rapunzel's despairing mother and the witch who steals her, in the macabre Gingerbread Man, in stories of children who appear unconventionally, like Thumbelina, in many versions of Sleeping Beauty. This stuff matters and it's everywhere.
So, to all those sad for the loss and lack of children, I wish a healing story fit to receive your own.

Share the post "Les Roches MBA students carry out research for Beau Rivage Palace"
The MBA students of Les Roches International School of Hotel Management are doing more than following their classes at their school.
Thanks to the school's excellent relationships with the hospitality industry, Les Roches students are able to use their academic knowledge obtained by doing research projects to leading hotels and companies in the world.
In the first semester of 2011, 49 students carried out research on a special project for the famous hotel in Lausanne, Switzerland. As one of the leading hospitality management schools in the world, Les Roches has close contacts with the hotel located at the Lake Geneva shore in Lausanne-Ouchy. Since early 2010, the MBA students are working on a project with the Beau Rivage Palace.
This time, the Les Roches students did research on how the Beau Rivage Palace could increase the guests from the 'BRIC' countries: Brazil, Russia, India and China. Early May, they had the honor to present their outcomes not only to the management team of Beau Rivage Palace, one of the leading hotels in Switzerland, but also to Les Roches Alumnus and Beau Rivage Palace General Manager Lucas Johansson. A total of four presentations took place, each of them focused on one of the BRIC countries and including inside advice for the senior management of the Beau Rivage Palace.
'We are very happy with this partnership with Les Roches and are please with the work done by the students', Lucas Johansson stated. Bruno Eeckels, MBA dean of Les Roches, added: 'We would like to thank the Beau Rivage Palace for the opportunity for our students to work on this project. For the students it is the perfect opportunity to do research for real life projects.'
The partnership between Les Roches and the Beau Rivage Palace is one of the many examples showing the excellent relations of the hospitality management institute with leading companies in the hospitality industry. In addition, top international hospitality companies and hotel chains are coming to Les Roches each semester to recruit future graduates. In a global survey of 5-star hotel hiring managers executed by Taylor Nelson and Sofres, Les Roches was ranked number 2 among all international hospitality management schools for an international career.

If you are looking to rent a home, you can wait until the demand drops so that you get a good offer.You can visit websites of people offering vacation rentals and check out the condition of the rentals and what they actually have to offer. If the rental is nearby then you will save more money on travel expenses.
If it is a driving distance from where you live, you can try to find out if they offer early booking discounts. Find out what other clients thought about the place and the types entertainment they have at the villas and hotels. There are more benefits with dealing with the owner rather than a real estate agent since you do not have to pay fees for the agent.
You should hire a real estate agent will help you get the best villas at affordable prices. If you want to travel out, find out the rules of the country you are visiting so that you do not violate the law. Read the contract thoroughly before signing it to avoid misunderstandings later. You should choose villas that have great scenery and enough activities to keep you busy all through the holiday.
Newspapers often have advertisements of villas that are available on the market.The contract will explain the penalties for any damage caused inside the home during your stay safe, so it is to read the entire contract. You should be able to communicate with different people during your stay to make sure they have good phone service and internet available in case there is an emergency. It is important to learn negotiation skills if you want to save enough money for the trip.
The homeowner can decide to accept monthly, or weekly payments so find out what payment mode is the best for you. The homeowner should explain to young if the deposit money is refundable depending on the amount of damage in the house after your stay. Take pictures of any damages that the house has before you leave plus it is better to ensure that everything is where they are supposed to be before handing over the keys to the owner.
Learning The Secrets About Deals

While Ireland struggles under massive problems in public housing, health, unemployment and other basic sectors, one can only wonder if an extra 13.1 Billion Euros will help alleviate the problems or will it also go astray and be used by the left wing Irish Government to further its Marxist policies and invasion of Ireland by 3rd worlders?
Proving Ireland's total lack of actual independence, Apple has finally been forced to pay, and Ireland has been forced to take, the 13.1 Billion Euros it owes Ireland in back taxes by the European Union. Apple which has more than $250 Billion in cash, more than most countries, just sitting stashed in offshore accounts, could easily feed all the starving in the world yet they spend so much time and money virtue signalling about how noble and moral and "cool" they are… cool does not feed the hungry.
As a result European Union antitrust regulators plan to drop legal action against Ireland after iPhone maker Apple paid the country €13.1 billion ($15.3 billion) in back taxes.
The American company missing the January 3 deadline but was apparently not penalised. The European Commission, on behalf of the EU's competition watchdog, had taken Ireland to court for failing to collect billions of euros from Apple.
Ireland's tax system allowed Apple to funnel all its sales outside the United States, about 55 percent of its revenue, through Irish subsidiaries paying hardly any taxes.
The lawsuit was initiated in 2017 by the EU which severely criticized the Irish government for moving too slowly in recovering the money.
"In light of the full payment by Apple of the illegal state aid it had received from Ireland, commissioner Margrethe Vestager will be proposing to the college of commissioners the withdrawal of this court action," the European Commission's spokesman Ricardo Cardoso said.
The commission ruled in August 2016 that Apple had received unfair tax incentives from the Irish government. Both Apple and the traitorous Irish Regime appealed the initial ruling, claiming the tax treatment had been in line with Irish and EU law.
While Apple doesn't break the law, this contradicts the words of CEO Tim Cook, who told the US Senate in 2013 that Apple doesn't "depend on tax gimmicks," or "stash money on some Caribbean island." Apple picked Jersey as an alternative after the 2013 crackdown on its tax practices in Ireland, at the time Cook testified to the US authorities.
Ireland's finance ministry began collecting the back taxes in a series of payments in May.
"While the government fundamentally disagrees with the commission's analysis and is seeking an annulment of that decision, as committed members of the European Union, we have always confirmed that we would recover the alleged state aid," Ireland's Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe, said in a statement.
The ministry also said that its appeal had been granted priority status and is progressing through various stages of proceedings before the general court of the European Union (GCEU) which is Europe's second highest court.
It will likely take several years to be settled by the European courts, according to the ministry.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sophomore Audrey Bartz had two hits and drove in three runs and classmate Julia Ferris pitched a complete game leading fifth-seeded Coast Guard to a 6-1 win over sixth-seeded Emerson in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) tournament elimination game at MIT.
The Bears (22-12) will take on the winner of second-seeded WPI and fourth-seeded Springfield at 3:00.
Ferris (11-10) scattered eight hits, walked one and struck out three allowing one earned run to pick up the win for Coast Guard.
She got out of a one-out bases loaded jam in the top of the third before the Bears scored three times in the home half.
In the third, sophomore Carly Hattman and sophomore Claire Hurley singled before senior Emma Hvozdovich's RBI single gave the Bears a 1-0 lead. Sophomore Courtney McKenna walked to load the bases before Bartz lined a two-run double down the left field line to increase the lead to 3-0.
Micalea Dix got Emerson on the board with a sacrifice fly in the fourth, but the Lions once again left the bases loaded.
Coast Guard would add three insurance runs in the sixth on three straight RBI singles by Bartz, junior Emily Hogan and sophomore Kayla Sowers for a 6-1 lead.
Hvozdovich, McKenna, Hogan, Sowers and Hattman each had two hits as Coast Guard finished with 14 hits.
Emerson finishes the season 20-14.

Where Are You?
We're hurtling madly towards Samhein, which is both the end and the beginning of my magical year. One of the things that I do at Samhein is to set goals for myself to accomplish during the coming year, but I only do that after I've spent time looking at what I have, and have not, accomplished this year. Most of my goals are boringly practical; some are spiritual and magic.
Do you do this, too, this time of year?
If so, I offer a snippet of a podcast between T. Thorn Coyle and Sam Webster that, IMHO, makes a hugely important point for so many modern Pagans.
Thorn: The other thing that all that brings to mind, . . . in the teachings of Gurdjieff, he said, "To be successful in 'the work' you have to be successful in life. If you're not successful in life, you're not successful in 'the work.'" You know, the two have to go hand-in-hand and it ends up being a strange bootstrapping process. You know, we start out, some of us are a little more effective in life than others, some of us are a little more effective with our magic than others, but they have to start to balance each other out. And, I never trust people who pour all this time and energy into magic and spiritual work whose lives are a wreck. It's like, you know, we all go through bad patches, we all need help, you know, we all have, you know, tragedies, things like that. But, overall, I need consistency. You know, if I don't see your life consistency reflecting your magic and vice versa, I'm not that interested in talking to you.
Sam Webster: Quite justifiably. There's an old saying: A poor magician is a poor magician.
How's your health? How's your home? How are your financial plans? How are your relationships with the important people in your life?
It may be just me, with my Moon in Taurus, but I've always found it easier to engage in daily practice, as well as easier to just allow myself to fall into mystical experience, when I'm not surrounded by clutter and dirt, when my body is healthy, when I'm not terrified about incoming bills, etc.
Being able to work magic is supposed to make you more effective in the "real" world -- the world of wands and pentacles -- not less. No, you don't have to have a million dollars, or a McMansion, or a body so buff it hurts. But you do have to have a decent basis from which to work: the ability to live within your means, a clean, safe, attractive environment that meets your needs, a basic level of health.
Here, just as a starting point for your meditations, is a v simple checklist:
Do you have a daily practice?
Do you do it daily? :)
Do you have credit card debt? What's your plan to retire all of that this year?
Do you have at least six month's salary in the bank? How much will you save every month to get to that point?
Do you have a plan for your old age? If not, do you plan to die early?
When was your last physical?
Do you take a daily vitamin?
What's your plan for getting regular exercise? Enough sleep? Eating healthy meals?
Company's coming in 15 minutes. Can you make your place presentable? Serve them coffee/tea/drinks? Let them use your bathroom?
Do you know where your keys are? Your cell phone? Checkbook? Walking shoes?
Do your relationships make it easier or more difficult for you to become your better self? What are you going to do about that? If not now, when?
What's the last thing you did completely for fun? Got plans to repeat that or something similar?
What will you do differently starting November first?
Picture found here.
Update: Lyon does a better job than I did expressing my point. It's a question of balance. How happy are you with yours?

Does anyone else recognize Gurdijeff's comments as just one big obvious excuse not to get his hands dirty by reaching out to the unsuccessful masses?
Gah. So sick am I of the spiritually self-righteous elitist dreck pouring forth from the mouths of simpletons whose attribution schemas serve only to reify their own notions of having caused their own success.
The telltale sign is usually something about placing blame for the survival efforts demonstrated by political prisoners. You can tell the ones who've never gone out on a limb for causes outside their comfort zone. Always questioning the prisoners and never the politics. Never acknowledging that practicing in accord with one's values, in this day and age especially, can cost you pretty much everything.
Further, how convenient that Mr. Gurdijeff's particular set of gifts allows him to occupy and thrive in a safe niche somewhere in the "real world" of earth and fire. Meanwhile, the most assailable niches (and obviously omitted from conceptions of "real world") air and water and their potential occupants have to listen to chorus after chorus about how they are ineffectual.
Not like Mr. Gurdijeff is ever going to do anything to upset the balance (The "real world" really only consists of two elements? Nothing wrong with that. Really?) as long as he personally benefits from it. Nosiree. And this, my friends, this hubris exhibited by some "spiritual leaders" is exactly why the current paradigm, no matter how destructive, will continue unabated. Plowed under brothers and sisters be damned. I got mine.
Shorter dude: "No, I won't even talk to you. I certainly won't help (the likes of) you. I might lose my job/status/security."
- Thalia Took said...
Um, yeah, that's all pretty privileged, honestly. And anytime someone uses the term 'bootstrapping', really, all's I got is a big 'fuck you.'
So, yeah, not so much with this post.
- fyreflye said...
Best wishes to you and your loved one.
- fyreflye said...
No, I didn't make the previous posting. Blogger did it for me. I must be a failure.
What I meant to post:
Was Aleister Crowley "successful" in life?
- Lyon said...
I was going to leave you a comment on this but instead decided to just write an entire blog post thanking you for this brain food and linking back here, I hope you don't mind. But seriously, thank you. You've given me an important reminder and much to think about.
I've been going through a lot of changes this year, including a divorce, moving out on my own for the first time, then having to move to be with family due to my mother falling ill and not being able to find work here - it's all been insane and yet, beautiful at the same time. And the questions you pose are important for me to remember as I take stock of the past year and figure out where I'm heading next.
- Hecate said...
Thanks for taking the time to post your reaction. First, I should say that the podcast (see link in article) is about an hour long and I may have done the message an injustice by excerpting one small snippet. The whole thing is well worth a listen. And while I'm no expert at all on Gurdijeff, I took his statement a bit differently. He doesn't say that you have to "be a success," rather, he says that you have to "be successful in life." I think there's more than a semantic difference there. For many of us, that doesn't mean being wealthy, famous, etc. Figuring out what it would look like for each of us to "be successful in life" is, I think, important work. Generally, it's a big part of the work of our teens and 20s, but we have to keep coming back and readjusting our vision as we grow.
That said, I think taking the time at Samhein to ask ourselves if we are "being successful in life" can be a worthwhile exercise and that part of that exercise needs to involve an examination of the balance between what we can imperfectly call the spiritual and the practical. (Of course, there's really no such division, which is ultimately what I think is Coyle's point.)
We've all known people, and we Pagans have more than our fair share of them, whose lives are always a wreck, who live from one crisis to another, who can never be counted upon to do what they say they'll do because (choose one) their abusive boyfriend is again on a tear, they don't have enough gas in the car to get to the meeting and no money to buy any until next week, they're physically exhausted from the all-night tv bonanza, etc. I take Coyle's point to be that, at some level, it's difficult to take what such people have to say about spiritual practice too seriously. They seem to think that they can skip the chopping wood and carrying water part of the whole equation.
Anon brings up a very valuable point which is that, in today's world, living in accord with one's values can have a high price tag in terms of financial stability. And over the past year, millions of people who did everything "right" financially have found themselves out of jobs, 401(k)s lost, housing value lost, insurance gone w the job, etc. I think the question of how to live in accord with our values and how to ensure ourselves the base level of stability that we need in order to serve those values is a hugely important part of "the work." And I, too, object to the sort of new age put the blame on the person who's sick instead of on the plant that polluted that person's water. At any rate, always grateful for comments and reactions; thanks or taking the time to leave them.
- fyreflye said...
Perhaps then being "successful in life" is what Crowley called "finding your True Will." In that case Thorn's comment is spot on.
- Hecate said...
In fact, Coyle and Webster discuss the concept of "true will" earlier in this podcast. The whole thing really is worth a listen.
- Teacats said...
Excellent questions -- and a wonderful way to jumpstart a fresh New Year on the Wheel! Thanks for the posting! I have printed out the questions -- and hope to work on the answers. Hope that others will do the same!

I'm not sure how to classify where I am at the moment but where I want to be next is living in that hobbit house. Thanks for finding that.
Sooo-I was going to say: "someone must have pissed you off!" Then I was going to say thank you for the reminder of the importance of discipline and the importance of Social Security and Medicare for which most of us pay very high taxes when young.
And I still say "someone must have ticked you off at one of the parties that successful attorneys must attend even if it is with other female successful witches.Myself I am still working on myself while now enjoying the fruits of earlier labors in the form of pension/Kaiser/Social Security/Medicare for which I paid every month of my working years.
Of course if the ones in power now are are able to destroy all of that they will also be able to destroy the stock market. Unfortunately I and so many like myself was never able to buy land and buildings-real estate.
And Yes!!! Thank you for the Hobbit House and for all you do.
Also to say that there is a lot of space between Gurdijeff and your friend who refuses any personal responsibility for her life and therefore disappoints people over and over.
- RetroKali said...
Something I like to do is go through all the pictures from the past year. Sometimes we can look at our life in pictures and see things that are really there, or not there when we thought they were. Pictures don't lie, and when it is time to look back at Samhain, and re-assess the year, they can give a good clear view.
As for the quote, I get what he was trying to say. Don't be so spiritual that you neglect the life around you, the two are intertwined. Nuff' said.
- Teacats said...
Just wanted to thank you for asking about whether or not your home/house was ready for entertaining -- isn't it interesting how deeply ingrained the idea of "hospitality" goes for some many folk -- in many histories, stories, superstitions and cultures! I always believed that hospitality is so magical (you can just tell theres magic in the air at a party when everything just "clicks") Or think of the term "tea and sympathy"!
Just a rare spark of a thought ....

Yiasou fee-leh! It's rewarding to have this opportunity at WindyCity Greek to spread KEFI in the name of Positive Energy; and this day we link energy to an ancient Greek sport.
In today's dose of Kiki KEFI, we'll examine a sport of the gods. A sport that required discipline, plus mental and physical agility, in order to win. You're wondering what KEFI has to do with a wrestler? Read on.
The Wrestler
Zeus, the God of all Gods in Mythology – had one objective – TO WRESTLE.
We as humans add another dimension to wrestling; and that is the mental side of wrestling with our emotions and our thoughts.
The dynasty of wrestling is a magical and colorful as the stories in foregone mythology, dating back to the ancient Olympics in Greece with the category of oldest competitive sport B.C. Wrestling has been on the program every modern games except 1900. In 2013 the sport lost its Olympic place, but was reinstated for the 2020 Games when the IOC overturned a decision.
Ancient Wrestler
Historically speaking, the sport is remarkable with cave drawings of wrestlers being found as far back as 3000 B.C., it was introduced into the ancient Olympics in 708 B.C. Today, wrestling is just as relevant as in the pre-historic days in that it teaches boys to become men and spectators to become entranced with the mano e mano skill and strategy battled out on the mat.
Wanted: Wrestler
Gold medalist and 10-time national championship coach at the University of Iowa, Dan Gable, and said point blank:
"After you wrestle, everything is easy."
I believe this since wrestling is such a physical sport of one on one, where no parents can play favorites and not everyone gets a trophy. Such life lessons are about competition.
Goldman Sacks on Wall Street actively recruits wrestlers over the Ivy League wiz kids because of the competitive nature on the knock down- get back up success attitude you receive from the grind of wrestlers.
"Give me a wrestler over a valedictorian and they will take on any challenge and turn lemons into lemonade." ~ Jamie Dimon, fellow Greek and former president of Chase Bank
Wrestler lessons
What is tough about wrestling? Everything; from the second the foot hits the mat, and the hands come out for combat, it's either take down or be down. The Greek word for wrestle, πάλη, is a contest between two in which each endeavors to throw the other and which is decided when the victor is able to hold him down with his hand upon his neck.
Coach Weber, the winningest Iowa high school Wrestling Coach in history at Don Bosco high school, said there are three lessons that are critical in match day preparation.
The Journey: you gotta live it – so why not love it and learn from it?
Calm Down: Save your energy for the match – not the hype.
No Negativity: Rid Yourself of Negative Thoughts. Prepare yourself to respond in a positive way to any adversity you encounter.
I believe these lessons are directly associated to everyday life.
Wrestler: engage body and mind
As you can gather, wrestling is not only a physical sport, but a mental one. Enter the notion of wrestling with one's emotions or thoughts, which we do all day long. We wrestle thoughts of doing one thing or another; buy or not to buy, invest our time or spend our time, eat or not to eat, drink or not to drink, fight or keep quiet and the exercise extends a mile long. The key is to prepare your mind to choose with diligence.
Wrestlers have KEFI
Here in the KEFI cafe, we pay homage to a sport that teaches and disciplines from the mat and the mind. Wrestling prepares us for the contest of life, to go head-to-head with our opponent, whomever or whatever that may be. The principles of wrestling are the same today as they were thousands of years ago; strive with humility, perseverance and strength.
Legend has it that the Gods recognized Zeus for these same qualities of being humble and persistent – thus proclaiming him "God of all Gods". As humans we can take a cue, and live out our days with a wrestler's fortitude.

We're not here to patronise you - you're a grown adult, you know how to brush your teeth with your best electric toothbrush.
It's just... well, it's a bit dull isn't it? There are no high scores, no power combos or unlockable challenges - just minty paste and spitting.
Japanese tech group Sunstar thinks you could be having much more fun with your mouth (steady) by turning it into a video game. Really.
They've launched G.U.M. Play - a small device that attaches to the base of your toothbrush to monitor your brush strokes, analysing your technique to ensure you're brushing effectively.
"The usual three minutes of brushing will turn into an exhilarating three minutes of discovery." We're honestly not making this up - it's all right here, on the G.U.M. Play website.
With your smart brush activated (there are flashing LEDs and everything), you can select one of three games to play via a connected smartphone:
- Mouth Monster sees you use your toothbrush to defeat monster characters based on actual oral bacteria. One for the kids, this.
- Mouth Band is like Guitar Hero for your teeth, playing three minutes of music dictated by your brushing style
- Mouth News isn't so much a game as an audio news reader that'll only play if you're brushing like a good boy
Data from these games is then recorded in your Mouth Log, showing you the duration of your brushing and which parts of your mouth you might be neglecting - giving you a score for all 16 (?!) areas of your mouth.
At 5,000 Yen (about £35), the device is actually cheaper than the average electric brush. You can import one here.
Here's hoping they bring out a flossing companion app in the near future.
