Reebok Classic launches the Club Workout
31 Aug 2017
Reebok Classic's 'Club Workout' design is making a comeback 30 years after first launching.
The shoe merged the Club C's sole unit and the upper of the Workout Lo Clean, both also iconic Reebok Classic styles. This fusion resulted in a design with the stability of a classic tennis style but the flexibility of a fitness shoe. Alas the design never saw the light of day because of a boom in popularity of both the Club C and the Workout.
It may have been 30 years in hibernation but it is now finally available to the public.
The Club Workout is available in a colourway exclusive to size? Priced at £75 in stores and online now.

Lina, Bety (1997) A study of conflicts which lead the main character, Mr. Sammler, to his alienation in Saul Belloe's Mr. Sammler's planet. Bachelor thesis, Petra Christian University.Full text not available from this repository.
This thesis is concerned with a study of conflicts that Mr. Sammler, an old Jewish man, always confronts in America. The thesis writer tries to capture Mr. Sammler's inner and outer conflicts until one day he feels alienated. She is curious to know how the conflicts can lead Mr. Sammler to his alienation. Her purpose of this study is to analyze the conflicts between Mr. Sammler and the three young people, such as Angela Gruner, Wallace Gruner and a black pickpocket. Besides, she wants to show that the conflicts are caused by two factors. The generation gap problem between Mr. Sammler and the three young people is one factor. Obviously, the old and the young generations hold completely dif-ferent values. Furthermore, the city where Mr. Sammler lives also becomes another factor that brings about the conflicts. Literary approach, such as conflict, characterization and setting are used to analyze the work by the thesis writer. Finally, the painful conflicts drive Mr. Sammler to be a sad and lonely Jewish man in a crowded American society.

This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Jaxton who was born on December 29, 2008 and passed away on June 2, 2009. You will live forever in our memories and hearts.
Jaxton the only thing worst than losing you, would have been never having had you .
We love you mommy and daddy
On the day God took you I thought that I would die I wondered where the time went? I asked alot of whys?? With people all around me I felt alone inside From all their words of comfort, I couldn't seem to hide, I thought I might be dreaming That I'd wake and find you here, I thought "This can't be happening." As I wiped another tear. On the day that you were laid to rest My heart broke yet again, I wondered if the pain would end, But mostly, I wondered when?? It's hard to be without you, At times the days seem long, Sometimes I just sit crying, When there's really nothing wrong. I wish we'd had more time, Before your life was done. I hope your resting peacefully, My precious one
Dear Friend, Please be patient with me; I need to grieve in my own way and in my own time. Please don't take away my grief or try to fix my pain. The best thing you can do is listen to me and let me cry on your shoulder. Don't be afraid to cry with me. Your tears will tell me how much you care. Please forgive me if I seem insensitive to your problems. I feel depleted and drained, like an empty vessel, with nothing left to give. Please let me express my feelings and talk about my memories. Feel free to share your own stories of my loved one with me. I need to hear them. Please understand why I must turn a deaf ear to criticism or tired clichés. I can't handle another person telling me that time heals all wounds. Please don't try to find the "right" words to say to me. There's nothing you can say to take away the hurt. What I need are hugs, not words. Please don't push me to do things I'm not ready to do, or feel hurt if I seem withdrawn. This is a necessary part of my recovery. Please don't stop calling me. You might think you're respecting my privacy, but to me it feels like abandonment. Please don't expect me to be the same as I was before. I've been through a traumatic experience and I'm a different person. Please accept me for who I am today. Pray with me and for me. Should I falter in my own faith, let me lean on yours. In return for your loving support I promise that, after I've worked through my grief, I will be a more loving, caring, sensitive, and compassionate friend-becauseI have learned from the best.

Here Is How to Kill the Bacteria That Causes Heartburn and Bloating
The H. pylori bacterium affects the digestive system and it can cause many different health problems. According to some statistics, almost 2/3 of the world has this bacteria.
What Causes This Bacteria?
Even though it has not been confirmed yet, medical experts claim that this bacterium can be ingested through water or food that has been contaminated. This bacterium can also lead to gastric issues like stomach cancer or ulcers by damaging the stomach lining. Luckily, there are very powerful natural remedies that you can prepare in your own home and treat this. You do not need to purchase meds that cause side-effects.
What Type of Bacterium is H.Pylori?
This one is a spiral bacterium which is created in the mucosal layer that protects the lining of the small intestine and the stomach. Another name for it is ulcer bacteria due to the production of cytotoxin that can contribute to the formation of the ulcers in the digestive system.
The Most Common Signs of H. Pylori Infection
- Bloating
- Vomiting
- Nausea
- Abdominal discomfort
- Belching
- Pain in the stomach
- Tiredness
- Heartburn
- Diarrhea
- Halitosis
- Anemia
- Reduction in appetite
- Peptic ulcers
How to Remove the Bacterium Naturally
Cranberry Juice
Drink one glass of this, fresh and unsweetened in the morning before you have breakfast. When you are preparing it, use only organic cranberries.
Manuka Honey
Eat 1 tablespoon of this honey before breakfast or a slice of toasted bread with this honey as spread.
These ones are a great solution for removing this infection. They are more potent than antibiotics in the elimination process.
Black Seeds
These can destroy any bad bacterium and they are very much recommended when it comes to H. pylori. They also have gastro-protective and acid-reducing characteristics.
Broccoli Sprouts
These are rich in sulforaphane that has antioxidant and detoxifying characteristics. This means that it can remove the infection and treat gastritis. It can also treat gastrointestinal damage caused by NSAIDs.
Green Tea
This beverage can prevent the spreading of the bacterium and if you consume it regularly, it can also treat mucosal inflammation caused by H. pylori. Moreover, the catechin inside will fight the bacterium due to its antibacteril characteristics.
This vegetable will offer powerful anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties, especially if you consume it raw. It can remove the bacterial infection successfully.
This one has more than 300 compounds and a lot of studies have proven that it can prevent the spreading of this bacterium.
Pylori Diet Tips
- Eat wild-caught fish that is abundant in omega-3 fatty acids
- Consume chia seeds and flaxseed that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids
- Eat more cruciferous veggies
- Include berries like blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries
- Avoid eating pickled foods
- Reduce the intake of caffeine to a minimum
- Exclude spicy foods
- Do not eat low-fiber grains
- Do not drink soda drinks
Prevention is Crucial
- The water you drink daily must not be contaminated
- Eat food that is properly prepared
- Take care of your personal hygiene

My latest batch of SCD yoghurt is complete and it's pretty darn perfect! It has the gloopy consistency of the real shop-bought variety, but without all those pesky bad things added to it. It's cashew milk-based and it tastes delicious, especially with an added dash of honey.
I'll post pictures and the full recipe later this week. It was definitely a case of 'third time lucky' for me, and now that I've got the basics right, I can play around with ingredients and flavours. SO EXCITING!
How does this fit into the phases? Well honey is allowed after 30 days, and most nut milks can be added in phase 3, where I am now.
As for the 2 other awesome things:
2. Bananas and eggs – mixed! I suddenly remembered about SCD pancakes made from bananas and eggs, and attempted to make a batch. They were a disaster – didn't solidify and simply couldn't be flipped. So rather than waste my mixture of two large bananas and one egg, I turned it into a scramble. It looked hideous but it tasted delicious! A filling, healthy breakfast or snack that I highly recommed.
3. Better BMs: For me, nothing has been as up and down on this diet as my BMs. The first few weeks were constipation central, and they're still pretty unpredictable. But the past few days have treated me kindly, with regular (for me) BMs and feeling like I'm properly empty.
Bonus: Veep & other series: If you've been hit by a flare or, like me, simply needed two straight days on the couch to recover from life, you're probably in need of a fresh batch of series. I discovered Veep this weekend, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, which is a political comedy and brilliantly written. It also stars Tony Hale (Buster from Arrested Development) whom I love. And come on, Arrested Development is just the BEST.
Also stumbled upon a new series called Resurrection – only two episodes out so far, and it's quite eerie, but I think it'll be good. We're also loving the new Big Bang Theory and Modern Family, and as always we're slaves to Grey's, even though every series inevitably leaves us gutted. I tell K that the stress of watching Grey's is bad for my colitis.
It's nice to stop talking, well, shit every now and then 😉 Series recommendations, anyone? 🙂

NOTE: Following is the discussion guide we'll use tomorrow (Jan. 18) in our LIFE groups at MoSt Church. This guide will enable your follow-up of my sermon that morning. To find previous group discussion guides, look under the category title "LIFE group guides" and you'll find an archive of previous issues.
Stated in a single sentence, this is the purpose of this morning's sermon.
To declare our need to "soak" our life in God, and to urge us to do just that.
These Scriptures form some of the foundation of this sermon.
• Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks from the water that I will give will never be thirsty again. The water that I give will become in those who drink it a spring of water that bubbles up into eternal life." (John 4.13-14 CEB)
• Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. (John 6.35 NLT)
• Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them." (John 6.53-56 NIV)
• On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, 'Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water.'" Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive … (John 7.37-39 NRSV)
•… knowing that everything was already completed, in order to fulfill the scripture, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." (John 19.28 CEB)
Use one of the following icebreaker questions to prime the pump for group conversation.
1. What is your drink of choice? That is, you always look forward to drinking ____.
2. On average, how much water do you drink per day at this time of year?
These exercises/questions are meant to help us grapple with the Scripture(s) related to this sermon.
1. Read Jn. 6.53-56's context. Why believe Jesus isn't referring to the Lord's Supper?
2. What does water have to do with the context/location of the words of Jn. 7.37-39?
These questions help us discern and share what we sense God's Spirit is doing as we encounter his word.
1. What does it mean to thirst for God? What does a person thirsty for God do?
2. I consistently find my thirst for God grows whenever I ________.
3. What hindrances have you encountered to acquiring an abiding thirst for God?
4. How is it a real thirst for God is simultaneously unquenchable and yet, quenched?
These ideas/suggestions are for use beyond the group meeting; to aid your living out today's message.
1. Continually sip some water throughout each day. As you sip, pray.
2. Encourage others to stay hydrated. Each time you do, silently consider a Scripture.

Stem Cell Therapy is extremely promising in terms of being able, in the future, to cure failed organs. Stem cells can help us to understand and treat different diseases, injuries and health related problems.
Presently, the most common use of stem cell therapy is the transplantation of blood stem cells to treat diseases and conditions of the blood and immune system, or to rejuvenate the blood system following treatments of certain cancers. Currently, more than 26,000 patients are treated with blood stem cells in Europe every year.
Also, the skin. Skin stem cells have been successfully used to grow skin grafts for patients that have suffered from severe bodily burns. At the moment, the burns would need to be life-threatening before the option of stem cell therapy is used. There is still a way to go with this and scientists are continuing their research into skin stem cells since the new skin currently has no hair follicles and cannot sweat.
Furthermore, the recent conditional approval in Europe of Holoclar, means that stem cells can be used to repair damage to the surface of the eye after an injury such as a chemical burn.
Other applications of stem cells to treat different parts of the body are continuing to be explored and it can take years for them to be thoroughly investigated, approved and ready for market, following all the necessary clinical trials.
Ajan Reginald, Executive Director of Cell Therapy Ltd and Nobel Prize Winner Professor Sir Martin Evans are dedicated to using stem cells to develop life-saving and life-altering regenerative medicines. Whereas most stem cell companies follow a philosophy of having one cell that can treat all diseases, Ajan Reginald and Professor Sir Martin Evans have discovered disease-specific and tissue specific progenitor cells and have invented targeted regenerative medicines from these cells.
So far, two such medicines have both passed stage II of clinical trials; Heartcel, to repair broken hearts and Tendoncel, to regenerate injured tendons near the surface of the skin.
Stem cells are the body's master cells. Unlike other cells, stem cells can turn into almost any other cell in the body. If these new medicines prove to work, they could revolutionise the way we treat disease and could save and transform the lives of billions of people around the world.

Historic City Hall - Lower Manhattan
-Gail Cornell, an architectural historian and volunteer docent led the group.
-Interior Staircase
-The Governors Room
-City Council Chamber Room
The Conservancy was pleased to offer its Professional Circle members a tour of historic City Hall.
Constructed from 1803 to 1812, New York's City Hall is the oldest continuously used city hall in the nation and one of the finest architectural achievements of its period. The result of a competition held in 1802, the winning team of Joseph François Mangin, a French émigré, and John McComb, Jr., a New Yorker, designed the building in the Federal style with French influences, such as the five large arched windows and delicate ornamental swags.
City Hall is a designated New York City landmark and its soaring rotunda, topped by a coffered dome and encircled by a keystone-cantilevered staircase, is an interior landmark.
The tour was provided by the New York City Design Commission's Tour Program. Gail Cornell, an architectural historian and volunteer docent led the group.
You can view more photos on our Facebook page.
Are you interested in joining the Professional Circle?
Throughout the year, Circle tours go behind-the-scenes of some of New York's most interesting historic properties. Some tours require hard hats to visit projects during restoration, while others showcase completed restorations of commercial buildings, residences, museums, churches, and synagogues. On occasion, conservators, engineers, and craftspeople open their studios to our Circle members.

- Overview
Cutting Edge Solutions Product Documents
Cutting Edge Solutions™ Sugaree MSDS
Sugaree provides an organic carbohydrate and electrolyte source to stimulate amino acid production and provides a carbohydrate source. It contains polysaccharides folded into a matrix fortified with an emulsion of trace minerals. This formulation acts as a compensator as lowering sunlight levels at the end of season precipitate drops in photosynthetic rate and ATP (plant sugar) production. These additional carbohydrates provide the plant with the energy it requires to fuel respiration that drives fruit set. It's specially designed organic formulation targets increases in fruit set, retention, and sugar production.
- Product Q&A
Cutting Edge Solutions Sugaree Questions & Answers
Does your product work with all mediums?
Yes. Cutting Edge Solutions products have been developed wth a very broad range of variables, from water sources to varying types of medium and growing methods. Through our experience with these differences we have achieved a final formula that is effective when used across a wide spectrum of methods.
How long should I go between tank changes?
Tank change intervals depend on the size of your reservoir, and whether or not you are using a drain to waste or recirculating watering system. The average life span of a reservoir is about 5-7 days. When using drain to waste it is best to check your PPM/EC level as the nutrient solution is used to make sure that there is no spike in the PPM/EC, but usually the plants will use the fertilizer as they grow. It is more critical to check your nutrient solution while utilizing a recirculating system, as the runoff can drastically change the PPM/EC level of your nutrient solution. If your PPM/EC is raising in your re-circulating reservoir, you should top it off with plain water until your meter shows an acceptable level.
The size of a plant or the growth stage can determine the rate of water usage and nutrient uptake. Logically, the larger the plant gets, the more water and nutrient it will use. Some short-term crop plants (tomatoes, lettuce) go through an aggressive nutrient uptake around the 3-5 week period, so make sure to keep up on tank changes/monitoring during this critical time period.
Is a transition period necessary between the vegetative and bloom stage?
Depending on the type of plant you are growing, a transition mix may be beneficial. Some more hardy plants don't need to gradually accept a new mix, while some more delicate plants appreciate more subtle changes in its' diet in order to reduce the risk of shock. Slower growing plant varieties may benefit from a transition period more than a faster growing variety as well. Some plants are naturally more efficient at taking up Iron and don't require a transition stage.
What is the optimal Ph level for my nutrient solution?
The optimum Ph level for maximum nutrient availability is different for all elements, for instance Nitrogen has a different optimal Ph range than Phosphorus. The optimal Ph range can also vary due to medium and growing method variances, that is to say soil vs. rockwool or Aeroponics vs. Ebb and Flow. Therefore, we recommend a Ph range that is most inclusive, from 4.5 to 6.5. The Ph level we recommend for the most inclusive beneficial range is 6.
We do not recommend using Ph up at any time. If your water is acidic, i.e. RO water, adjust your water to Ph 7.0, then add nutrients. Utilizing this method, the elements are less likely to be locked out because of a severe Ph swing.
What PPM/EC is optimum for my nutrient solution?
PPM levels vary from situation to situation. Our recommended vegetative mixing rate can run as high as 2000 PPM, while a "flush" mixing rate is much lower. Please refer to the CES product mixing and reference chart for specific recommended PPM ranges for our products. Note: Our mixing chart is based on a 0 PPM water source, please test your water to establish your specific base range.

Mai Hofstad Gunnes
'Bike and Bolex', Mai Hofstad Gunnes @ Souterrain Projektraum, March 16th, 2012
The 16mm film Bike and Bolex echoes Mai Hofstad Gunnes' ongoing reflection on the construction of identity. A group of five women bycicle in circular paths while filming each other with Bolex cameras. The revolving movements captured by the five subjective cameras draws a molecular structure without a fixed center and conveys an idea of a non-hierarchical multiple subjectivity. Bolex cameras were particularly important for early television news, nature films, documentaries and avantgarde films. The 16 mm spring-wound Bolex is still a popular introductory camera in film schools.

7:00 pm: Artist Talk by Lenka Clayton
The Fabric Workshop and Museum will debut an exhibition by artist Lenka Clayton, whose interdisciplinary work considers, exaggerates and alters the accepted rules of everyday life, extending the familiar into the realms of the poetic and absurd.
A selection of the artist's recent work—including sculpture, video, typewriter drawings, and work from An Artist Residency in Motherhood, the international project founded by Clayton—will open to the public on Friday, February 10. FWM will debut Object Temporarily Removed, two new works made during Clayton's residency at the Museum on Friday, March 17.
Clayton is looking to iconic, historical works of art as the starting point for a new artistic inquiry for her residency at FWM. While in Philadelphia, the artist was intrigued by Constantin Brancusi's Sculpture for the Blind in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and developed two new works in response. Inspired by the title of this piece, Clayton will be inviting members of the city's blind community to create their own versions in response to her verbal description of Brancusi's original.
While conducting research in the PMA's archives, Clayton found an unanswered letter written to the PMA's chief curator in 1978 about Sculpture for the Blind, asking the simple yet poignant question of how cultural value is constructed around art and artists. Who and what factors determine that Brancusi's sculpture is art, while a visually similar work made by an unknown craftsman is not. Clayton has invited international art professionals to individually respond to this unanswered question from their own point of view. Their replies will feature in the artist's exhibition for the public to explore.

The frosty winter is upon us, and so we crave sweet carbs. One way to slow down your carb consumption is to make the goodie textured, so textured you are obliged to chew for a while. Adding protein also helps. Also the more complex and warming the flavours, the better they satisfy.
These muffins are sweet, gooey, spicy, salty(ish) and very grainy, and filled with protein. Everything you want when you're experiencing those cravings.
This recipe makes two dozen, and is ready to eat in about one and a half hours, including cooling time. Preheat your oven to 425 Fahrenheit.
1 cup pitted dates
3/4 cup water
30 or so scrapes of peeled ginger ( potato peeler will do)
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ cups porridge oats (contain oats, flaxseed, wheat germ and oat germ) You can use plain oats if you want less chewiness.
¾ teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons jaggery powder (raw Indian sugar or brown sugar)
1 heaping teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 heaping teaspoon dried ginger powder (more if you love heat)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 and 7/8th cups plain yogurt (nearly 2 cups)
1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or ghee, which is clarified butter available on Indian grocery shelves)
½ cup molasses
|Ginger is translucent and sticky when ready.
Combine dates, water and strips of ginger in a pot and set on medium high. The idea here is to soften the dates and let the water evaporate till about a quarter of a cup is left. Meanwhile, get to work on the muffin batter.
In a medium size bowl, combine dry ingredients with a fork. Add walnuts and combine. Set aside.
In a second medium size bowl, add the yogurt. You want almost two cups worth, but not quite. Remove the dates from the pot, and gently pull apart. Set aside. Add sugar to the ginger and water, and set to boil.
|Make more candied ginger and go hog wild, unlike me!
When the syrup from the ginger pieces has reduced to about a tablespoon, add it to the yogurt to bring the measure up to two cups. Plop those date pieces into the batter. Coming across these gooey lovelies makes eating these delightful.
Stir the date pieces and syrup into the yogurt, then stir the egg into the yogurt. You can use vegetable oil or ghee, but I used ghee. (The devil made me do it.) Pour oil or ghee into a measuring cup, coating halfway up the sides of the cup, then add that to the yogurt. Pour the molasses into that cup then into the yogurt. (An oily cup releases the molasses easily.) Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Gently stir till ingredients are combined.
|Recipe adapted from my 1971 New York Times cookbook.
Bake about twenty minutes, or till a toothpick comes out clean. Cool off a bit on racks and enjoy while still warm.
These are nowhere near as sweet or greasy as store-bought muffins, but they are lovely indeed. Fragrant, chewy, sweet in spots, oh my. Please try them and let me know how they turned out!

If you're dealing with an excess of mud at your job site, you need an effective solution for removing it or transporting it to where it might be needed. The easiest way to control and transport your mud is with a high-quality mud drying unit.
Our sludge drying system can produce an extremely dry product that you can easily dispose of safely at a reasonable cost, use as compost or reprocess for beneficial uses. You can also use our sludge drying unit to remove hazardous VOCs in a safer manner. Other methods of transporting mud are time-consuming, costly and largely less effective than mud drying.
Our sludge drying system can easily pay for itself over time relative to the cost of using other methods of mud transportation or removal. Sludge drying is an environmentally responsible and efficient way of dealing with your excess mud and sludge issues on the job.
The Rotary Drum Vacuum System by ESD Waste2Water Inc. is designed to reduce moisture content in sludge by 85% or more. The RDV produces a cake material that can be easily transported for disposal. We make two sizes of this machine including 1 or 3 disc. Contact ESD Waste2Water for more information!

Guest Blog Day - Raid the Fridge!
Ok, so I am 'babysitting' Potty Mummy's blog for the time it takes you to read this post!! We have agreed to swap posts as part of Little Mummy's Guest Post Day! Despite not knowing you, I will be telling you all about the contents of my fridge – yikes! Shame this was not done at the start of the week when it was full of really healthy stuff J
So, if you are ready then I will start my Guest Day Post.
The rest of the fridge is full of what we adults eat and considering it is almost the end of the week it is still looking quite full. Normally by now it would be looking a bit sorry for itself, which would create complaints by the OH as to why are we out of such and such. To which I reply "because the on line shop is not due until the weekend". However, I am pleased that for once that is not the case otherwise this would be a VERY short post. So here is a list of what my fridge contains (in no particular order):
Main Body
3 types of butter – unsalted (for Burton), Clover & I Can't Believe
Mature Cheddar
Red Leicester Cheese
Strawberry Jam
Tomato Puree
Garlic Puree
Organic Yoghurts
Rolo Desserts
An opened jar of roasted peppers
Branston Pickle
Minced Beef
Gammon Joint
Turkey slices
Heinz tomato ketchup (my fridge will not accept any other brand of ketchup!)
Salad Cream
M & S salad dressings – honey & mustard and scillian lemon (yeah I know – showing off here!)
Semi skimmed milk and gold top milk
Vegetable Drawer:
Half a sweet potato
Cherry tomatoes
Half a banana
Chilled Drawer:
Apple juice
White wine
I wonder what the contents of my fridge say about me and my family….hmmmm? What do you think? Probably similar to a lot of you I would imagine. I would like to add that normally there would be more vegetables in our vegetable drawer, but being almost end of the week I have run out and need to replenish it (remember – on line shop due at the weekend!). I tend to make our family meals from scratch, and it is important to me to use the best ingredients wherever possible especially for Burton.
So there you have it! I hope you have enjoyed this 'cool' (ahem!) post and if you would like to check out my blog you can find me at :

Before I start with this, let me get one thing straight; being in Moscow is not - for the Potski family at least - in any way a 'hardship posting'. We chose to move here and our lives, whilst significantly different from back in London, and whilst including more than the occasional curve-ball thrown our way, are good, to the extent that recently when discussing how long we should stay I surprised myself with the length of time I was willing to consider.

Summer time - and the living is easy...
>> Tuesday, 18 May 2010
Summer has arrived in Moscow and to all intents and purposes, it's a different city. Despite the preponderance of imposing architecture (I always think of the Russian capital as a city built to intimidate visitors; it's built on a colossal scale), this is a town - in the centre, at least - with a lot of open space. Unfortunately for 6 months of the year that open space is either covered in white stuff or is simply earth sparsely populated with grass and a few dead leaves.

When we first moved to Moscow I met a lovely lady who's favourite phrase is 'This is Russia'. (TIR, for short). She uses it whenever confronted by a situation that falls so far outside our normal home life expectations that really, one has to ask oneself how the hell one got into it. I've had a number of those moments since arriving here; the heating, the driving, and the weather are just three examples.

>> Sunday, 2 May 2010
It's Sunday night, and I'm sitting here watching and listening to the most monumental thunderstorm here in Moscow. It's at times like these as I bustle round the house unplugging computers and telephones that I realise how 'middle-age' is no longer a far off event that might happen to me some time in the future, but a real-time, in your face car-crash that can't be avoided any more. Of course, it's not as if I don't have this realisation every day during that first horrific look in the mirror every morning after I put my contact lenses in but before I have the chance to apply any mascara, but I can usually lose that thought in amongst the sandwich-making, boy-wrangling, traffic-negotiating fun that happens shortly afterwards.

This is the final entry in this series: Shooting spikes while hunting whitetail deer.
What's Most Important – Nutrition, Genetics or Age?
This is like asking which is more important: the digestive, circulatory or respiratory system? All three are critical to the life of a human. Life cannot be maintained without any one of these processes.
Deer need good genetics, good nutrition and to be of sufficient age to reach their potential. Since 'a spike is a spike,' he isn't going to turn into a 16 point deer with good nutrition and age.
Texas Parks uses a term – "improper harvest.' In this category, they include "over-harvest of older age class males." By making yearling spikes the main goal of a hunter's aim, it takes pressure off of the older, fully-antlered bucks.
Texas Parks maintains that "by shifting hunting pressure to the bottom segment of the herd, age as well as antler quality can be improved."
Where the Does Fit in this Plan
Unfortunately, does do not have "I carry spike genes" or "I carry antlered genes" stamped on their foreheads. Besides targeting spike yearlings, Texas P&W suggests, older does should be removed from the gene pool.
By removing these mature does, the balance between food availability and herd size would be stabilized. With more nutrition, there would be fewer fawns – with greater chance of survival.
Deer Management = Quality Deer
Males, because they mate with many does, have more influence on the gentetics of a herd. By removing the young spikes, potentially, more antlered deer join the gene pool. Since the older does (more likely to carry 'spike genes') are removed, eventually, the herd will have more antlered deer.
Final Word
Every hunter's group will have someone tell about the 'Spike that Grew a Huge Rack.' They do happen; however, it can take years, and he still carries the spike genes.
Texas P&W says that hunters, by targeting antlered deer, are inadvertently creating more spikes. Why? If the spikes are allowed to grow, they – not the fork-antlered deer – are the breeding stock. "If you protect fork-antlered yearlings from harvest long enough to allow them to mature, you can improve antler quality in the herd…."
If Texas P&W had their way (laws), I think there would be howls of protest from hunters in Texas. MDH* opines "it ain't gunna' happen."
What do you think? If your state made these rules binding in your state (for x number of years), how would you feel about it?

Part 1: Should I Shoot a Spike While Hunting White-Tailed Deer? (intro & item #1)
Part 2: Why Don't We Just Let That Little Spike Grow Up? (items #2 thru #7)

Fried green tomatoes are good, but this gratin is better! This, to date, is my favorite dish made with green tomatoes. (Well, now the Green Tomato Salsa I made over the weekend rivals for first place.) I'm a southern gal, so I've had those unripe tomatoes–maybe always?–battered and fried. And then there was this. I don't watch much tv, but if I do I navigate immediately to Food Network. Last time I was there, Claire Robinson was making a Green Tomato and Vidalia Onion Gratin, so I adapted her recipe to what was in my kitchen. It was delicious. It is delicious. Go ahead, pick those tomatoes early!
Green Tomato Gratin
recipe for an 8×8 in. baking dish
serves 4 as a side dish
2-3 green tomatoes, sliced thick
2 tablespoons bacon grease or olive oil
1 large onion*, sliced thick
½ tablespoon sugar, optional*
About 1 cup grated cheese (Swiss or white cheddar)–I used Swiss. It was yum.
1 cup bread crumbs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place tomato slices in the bottom of a baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle a bit of salt and crack some pepper over the green tomatoes. In a skillet, heat the bacon grease or olive oil and add the onion slices. Sauté the onions until they are translucent. At this point, sprinkle the sugar over the onions and cook them a bit more to begin to caramelize the sugar. Then, arrange the cooked onions on top of the tomato slices in the baking dish. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the onions. In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining bacon grease or olive oil (from the skillet in which the onions were cooked). Stir until the grease is incorporated into the breadcrumbs, then sprinkle the breadcrumbs atop the cheese layer. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
*Claire's recipe calls for Vidalia onions, which are naturally sweet. I had yellow onions at home, so I added sugar to get some sweetness and caramelization—great resulting flavor!
It's quite easy:
Breadcrumbs are the last layer, but silly me forgot to photograph that.
And from the oven:
I think you will love it.

BIM becomes more and more mandatory and unavoidable in the field of construction industry day to day. The UK Government has made the compliance of Level 2 BIM in all public sector construction contracts since the 4th April 2016.
Almost all major private organisations in the construction industry have already started to applying this rule and their supply chains are 'BIM-ready'. However, some small construction companies, who so far think that BIM is only applicable for bigger project teams, are now in the stage of anxiety. As only a few contractors were verified and approved ahead of the deadline, many of the smaller companies may lose their major contract projects.
According to the Director of Built Environment at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Alan Muse, Not only the BIM firms, but also the smaller construction teams also stand to get the rewards. It shows that almost half of the small and medium-sized construction companies are not yet planned to start using BIM. However, it is not so late even now. Such companies can still take advantage of using BIM, if they ensure the accessibility of the BIM tool. It will really help them to become more productive and profitable and thereby win their competitors.
According to Alan Muse, the main factor that determines the future skill agenda is nothing but technology and BIM is the best example for it. But, the reason that restricts the smaller companies from gaining efficiency and competitive edge is that they invest in people alone. That is why they face ongoing skills shortage. Therefore the smaller companies have to be ready in investing in technical skills like BIM. There is no doubt that investment in technology will definitely help the companies to differentiate their business offerings.
BIM enables quick and easy quantification, 2D and 3D drawings and 3D BIM models, automated schedule and automation of measurement and these features provide typical time and money saving compared to the traditional method.

Westholme Cottage
St Fillans, Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park
St Fillans, in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, is a perfectly delightful village about 30 miles west of Perth, which stretches along the shores of lovely Loch Earn, famed for its scenery and watersports.
Quick Info
|Sleeps: 4
|Bedrooms: 2
|Changeover Day: Sat
|Pets Allowed: Yes (2)
|No smoking
|Bathrooms: 1
At the end of a tiny lane, in the most peaceful of settings well away from the road, Westholme is a most attractive, traditional semi-detached stone cottage with wonderful views of the hills.
The accommodation on offer here is both cosy and comfortable. Downstairs you will find a spacious sitting room with open fire, a separate dining room with second open fire, well-equipped galley kitchen, sunroom and cloakroom, while upstairs (steep stairs) are two large bedrooms (one super-king zip and link and the other a twin) and a bathroom.
The large enclosed gardens (with furniture) to the front and back are visited by an abundance of bird life (you may even spot the occasional red kite or buzzard) and are ideal for children and dogs to play. There is plenty of parking right at the door and the shores of the loch are just a five-minute stroll away. There is also a large, lockable garage providing secure storage for a car, bikes, canoes, etc.
Once you are comfortably settled, what is there to do? Well, in addition to the aforementioned watersports and the many nearby cycle routes there is good fishing in the loch (permits available in the village), while the St Fillans Golf Club is within walking distance and also offers a welcoming clubhouse that serves meals and refreshments.
The surrounding hills offer great walking, while if you are feeling more energetic, you can tackle Ben Vorlich, which rises from the south side of the loch. There are riding stables 12 miles away at Crieff Hydro.
The main road to Lochearnhead and pretty Killin runs along the north shore of the loch, but the tiny single track South Loch Earn Road should not be missed. Peaceful and leafy, the views are superb and its little sandy and rocky coves provide picnic places in heavenly settings where children will play happily for hours in the shallows of the loch.
St Fillans has several hotels/bars, a shop and cafe while Comrie, 6 miles to the east, has more shops and a small supermarket. It is also the entry to remote Glenlednock and the spectacular Devil's Cauldron. To the east, Perth, Edinburgh, Dundee and St Andrews can all be easily reached, while to the west, fast roads will take you to Glencoe and even to Oban and the west coast or south to Callander, Stirling and Glasgow.

An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a tiny machine that can prevent blood clots from reaching up into the lungs. The inferior vena cava is a large vein in the center of your body. The device is put in during a short surgery.
Veins are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood and excess products back to the heart. Arteries are the blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the body. A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that develops in a vein deep within the body.If you need more info on ivc filters then you can head to http://www.bardfilterlawsuitcenter.com/bard-ivc-filter-lawsuits.asp.
The veins in your legs have tiny valves that help keep blood flowing back up near the heart. But a DVT may break one or more of these valves. This makes them weaken or become leaky. When this occurs, blood begins to pool in your legs.You can also book ivc filter lawsuit free consulation for your case.
This can also occur if you are still for a long period of time. Normally, tissues in the leg help blood move up in the arteries when the tissues contract. When blood flows very gently through the veins, this increases the risk that cells in the blood will stick collectively and form a clot.
DVT is a severe medical condition that can cause inflammation, pain, and tenderness in your leg. In some cases, a long clot in a leg vein can break free and stick in a vessel in the lung. This can create a blockage in the vessel called a pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism can cause critical shortness of breath and even unexpected death.
An IVC filter is one way to help prevent pulmonary embolism. Your inferior vena cava (IVC) is the important vein that carries oxygen-poor blood from the lower body back to the heart. The heart then draws the blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen.

The GuruFocus 52-week low screener reveals that Orchard Supply Hardware ( OSH ), the Sears home and garden improvement spin-off, is way off by 92.3%. OSH shares are priced at $2.14, from the high of $27.93. The 52-week low value screen also shows that Sears CEO Edward Lampert is one of three Gurus still holding on.
As of April 11, 2013, Sears CEO Edward Lampert , also founder of ESL Investments, reduced his Orchard Supply Hardware position again by 2.12%, with remaining shares at 1,005,329. He last pruned his Orchard position by 0.31% on April 1, 2013, and had trimmed multiple times prior in this quarter. Since first quarter in 2012, between shares bought and sold, Lampert's average cost per share was $27, for a 92% loss.
Orchard Supply Hardware ( OSH ) has fierce competition in the home improvement and garden market, struggling to sell against giant, The Home Depot, and others. In December 2012 Orchard Supply Hardware filed a lawsuit against The Home Depot, the world's largest home improvement retailer, and two power tool makers, Milwaukee Electric Tool and Makita USA, claiming that the companies are running an unlawful group boycott, according to HCN.
The question remains, boycott or no---can Orchard Supply Hardware compete with titans for top-of-mind in California's suburbs as the go-to place for power tools and the like?

Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler says it is time for a national discourse on a new socio-economic development model for the country to tackle the foreign exchange situation, high debt and the overall state of the economy.
While acknowledging that the country had not been earning and retaining enough foreign exchange and has been engaged in "significant" borrowing over the years, Sinckler gave the assurance that Barbados would not be allowed to become a failed state.
"We stand before this Chamber and boldly declare that we have not loss faith in Barbados, we have not loss faith in our country, we have not loss faith in our people and we have not loss faith in our future," he said as the led off debate in Parliament Monday morning on the 2017/2018 Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure.
"We never fail because we appreciate the fact that within ourselves we do not possess all the answers to all the issues that confront us, but are willing to engage in a process that is constructive and aimed at finding possible solutions that work, and we will never fail," insisted Sinckler.
Making it clear that he would not be "pushed down by pessimism and harassed into panic by the peddlers of this supposed impending demise of Barbados", Sinckler recalled that the island had gone through a lot worse during the crises of the early 1980's and 1990's.
Sinckler reminded Barbadians that the country underwent a number of changes during those periods, including increased taxes, wage freezes or wage cuts, help from the International Monetary Fund, job losses, increases in user fees, among other things.
He stressed that while the current situation called for some tough decisions to be taken, the Freundel Stuart administration would be going about the needed restructuring in a responsible, integrated and sensitive manner and not "stupidly", so as to negatively impact the island's development or disrupt its social fabric.
"There is a national conversation to be had, not just on our economy, because it is not just an economy issue, it has to be had on the development model that we have followed for the last 50 years," said Sinckler, who has been under immense pressure in recent weeks over his management of the island's economy.
"I respectfully submit that starting today, through the course of this Estimates debate of this Parliament in both Chambers, and surely within the wider community, now is as good a time to have that conversation and I can only hope that through it all, productive, responsible and reasonable discourse will take place and evolve in a way so as to result in sensible solutions to the challenges we face.
"We as leaders in the political directorate on both sides of the political sides, perhaps have our last credible chance to set aside the urge to play politics in speech and deed, and lead from the front by setting the stage for a responsible national conversation on these issues," he added.
In his presentation, Sinckler zoomed in on Barbados' current foreign exchange situation and foreign exchange earnings, the fiscal situation and state of public finances, as well as the country's debt.
Stressing the need to stabilize the economy, he said there were a number of "serious structural issues" that were not easily dealt with "as people would have you believe", including the lowering of the deficit, shoring up the reserves and the ticklish issue of slashing Government transfers and subsidies.
However, Sinckler said what was needed was the implementation and maintenance of an "appropriate macro-economic framework", adding that there was also need to carry out a "complete analysis" of the tourism industry to find out how money was being earned in that sector, where it was coming from and how much it was really making and how much was staying out the country.
"It is commonly felt that this framework should consist of the following: foreign exchange adequacy, a tight fiscal policy where the deficit does not exceed at least the rate of economic growth, and the debt levels that are sustainable and financeable going forward," said Sinckler.
He explained that over the years majority the island's foreign exchange earnings came through the tourism and international business and financial services sectors, adding that a "significant proportion" also came through Government borrowing.
In an apparent dismissal of the recent March of Disgust by the Opposition Barbados Labour Party (BLP) over the weekend, Sinckler said: "I say to them simply, that troubled though I might be, I am not distressed. Perplexed at times I will be, I shall not despair. Persecuted, for sure I am, but not abandoned and cast down by some repeatedly but never ever destroyed".
In fact, recalling the harsh economic times that confronted the country in the early 1990's that led to a national march by the then Opposition, Sinckler said at that time "the weak-hearted give up on Barbados and declared its death while the over-anxious in Opposition pressed their case for the Government to be handed to them as the only real chance for survival of the country.
"It sounds familiar doesn't it? I also witnessed the bold leadership of the then Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Erskine Sandiford, against severe opposition, including a real march that took place across the country with an estimated 30,000 persons," said Sinckler in downplaying the success of the Mia Mottley led march at the weekend, which is said to have attracted about 10,000 participants.
However, the minister of finance admitted that Government has been running high debt since 2008 due to wages and salaries and subsidies and transfers, Sinckler admitted that was perhaps the area that most required the national discussion at this time, given that it had increased "significantly" over the years.
"What we are going to really have to have the national conversation about is subsidies and transfers. That is the one because everybody talks about it. You hear the private sector, you hear the Central Bank, you hear everybody, 'cut subsidies and transfers', that is the category," he said, pointing out that the state-run Transport Board, the Welfare Department, non Governmental groups, such as disabled and the trade unions, Battered Women's Centre were the primary recipients.
He also highlighted the Barbados Community College, the University of the West Indies and the Sanitation Service Authority among the major beneficiencies.
He was adamant that it was no easy task cutting subisidies and transfers, since most of the areas that received Government help were targeted at the most vulnerable in society.
"So if we want to talk about bringing down the deficit, if people want action on cutting subsidies and transfers I want it to be plainly said in this debate that this is the category we are dealing with and who will be affected," he said.
"What areas of statutory transfers you want to cut and which you would advise the Government to cut to help bring the deficit down. We want to hear from the Opposition on these issues. Don't hide behind the veil and say Government must do this and Government must do that and be disgusted. Be disgusted enough to say what you are going to do bring it down. We are open up to all suggestions and we want to hear. There is no more fence sitting, no more muck raking, no more pseudo scandal and throwing things at people and hiding behind all of that. Come to the board and tell the people of Barbados how you are going to cut this category . . . subsidies and transfers," insisted Sinckler.
Rising on a point of order, BLP Leader Mottley simply said: "Under our system of Government the Government must govern, it is not the Opposition that governs."
In that case, Sinckler said, the DLP would continue to govern as he mocked the Opposition for not putting forward a viable recovery plan.

Contrary to its expectations and predictions, the pan-green camp failed to build on a legislative majority after the dramatic conclusion of the legislative elections yesterday. President Chen Shui-bian (
"The elections have come to an end and the most important thing right now is not to embrace a specific party's victory, but to embrace a united Taiwan," Chen said.
"Although the DPP gained slightly in seats and in the percentage of votes, we are still a long way from our goal."
"We feel very sorry that many incumbent legislators lost their elections, and the DPP will need to examine itself thoroughly. I would like to apologize to our supporters and to those who lost, and I'm willing to take complete responsibility," Chen said.
After holding an emergency meeting conferring with other DPP high-ranking officials, Chen made the remarks last night at about 10pm.
The DPP picked up a total 89 seats, which includes 70 district legislators, 16 legislators-at-large and 3 overseas legislators -- far behind its goal of 101 seats and only two more seats than at the last elections. It obtained 35.72 percent of the votes, up from 33.39 percent in the last elections.
"I would also like to thank the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) Chairman Huang Chu-wen (黃主文) and its candidates for their help, including former President Lee Teng-hui (李登輝)," Chen said. "Although the TSU and the DPP are competitors, we have also cooperated with each other. Hopefully in the future, we will consolidate more and become a stable power together in the legislature."
Chen also called on the opposition parties to hold to the principles of "benign competition" and "rational supervision," allowing the legislature and the administration to have better interaction and make room for improvement.
But Chen did not announce he would step down from his office as the DPP chairman in the news conference, as a TV news report observed.
However, DPP Secretary-General Chang Chun-hsiung (
Chang said that he will also step down from his legislator-at-large seat, which was a promise he had made before the election. The DPP's high ranking officials will temporarily stay in their posts until the DPP restructures itself.
"The main reason the DPP didn't perform well is that we made mistakes in the vote allocation strategy, and the KMT's limited nomination was put into effect," Chang said. "But the DPP will continue its reforms and will not give up."
Meanwhile, TSU chairman Huang Chu-wen (
The TSU encountered a setback in this campaign. It secured 12 legislative slots -- one seat less than in the 2001 election.
"Compared with three years ago, the TSU didn't make any progress at all. We even lost a seat," Huang said with a somber expression. "However, such an election result was decided by all the people and we should respect the voters' decision."

Tell Congress To Pass ENDA
Tell your representatives in Congress to support an Employment Nondiscrimination Act protecting sexual orientation and gender identity. In many states it is legal to fire employees for being gay, bisexual, trans, or otherwise queer. This is wrong, and it largely hurts the members of our community who are already the most vulnerable.

Happy Cyber Monday!! I hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving! We had a whirlwind week and weekend. My parents and sisters stayed with us for a week, we hosted both sides of our families for Thanksgiving (our ninth year in a row to host!) and then over the weekend hosted Sam's first birthday party at our house. I'm so exhausted today!!
I usually avoid the crowds and madness of shopping on Black Friday. And this year I had the added task of prepping and preparing for Sam's birthday party, so while I was out and about on black Friday I avoided and really did not have time for the malls or big stores. But I really do love me some Cyber Monday Sales!! The sales are so good and every retailer has deals today. Cyber Monday sales are major. So today I want to share some of the best Cyber Monday sales that I have found. There are so many good deals and amazing items on discount today!

eSports bid for mainstream victories
DOTA2 on ESPN, League of Legends with 35million viewers and eSports stars with professional status in the US. eSports mainstream legitimacy is growing and growing.
Computer games at the Olympics? It may seem like a far-fetched idea to some, but with eSports gaining ground by the day, mainstream legitimacy is ever closer.
Last weekend saw ESPN show select matches from the Defense of the Ancients 2 (DOTA2) championships. Culminating in the final airing on ESPN 2, this was an eSports first. If you think of the confused faces in sports bars around the world, you'll have some idea of how monumental it was.
The eSports momentum has been building for some time. Last year, Riot Games, creators of League of Legends, successfully lobbied the US Citizen and Immigration Services to begin issuing professional athlete visas to top eSports players. That's one of the most influential federal governments on the planet saying that yes, these gamers are no different than more traditional professional athletes.
During the London 2012, petitions began springing up for eSports at the Olympics. A crazy concept to many, but when you consider some of the minority sports represented, eSports could have as good a claim as many Olympic stalwarts.
Many of the doubters, myself included, are guilty of viewing things through western eyes. StarCraft 2 is often jokingly called 'South Korea's national sport' and there are whole channels dedicated to eSports. This year's League of Legends world championship will fill the Sangam Stadium in Korea. It's this level of interest that is overwhelming to the uninitiated. If the Olympic sports were based on population, we'd already be cheering on a zerg swarm attack for the gold.
In case I'm painting eSports as an Asian peculiarity, in 2012, Forbes named League of Legends the most played PC game in the world, with over 32million players logging 1.3billion hours of gameplay. That's global popularity, even if it doesn't have the pop culture status of Mario or Sonic.
Money may be the ultimate convincer. 35million people viewed the recent League of Legends world championships online. Twitch.tv, a site that deals primarily in streaming games, secured $20million of funding last year and is currently the fourth largest source of Internet traffic during peak times in the US. This is a massive growing audience that advertisers would be foolish to ignore for too long. As with Gaelic Games on Sky Sports, new fans are quick to pick up a new sport if it proves entertaining.
With so much proven interest and the demographic growing older, surely it's only a matter of time before public opinion starts to recognise that the skill and hard work involved in eSports is equivalent to that of any other professional sport.

A Drop in the Amazon
A look behind the scenes.
Our behavioral patterns in storing and accessing our information is reaching new levels with cloud based devices like Dropbox and providers like Amazon. The simplicity of customer driven product design comes together with complex operating systems.
A talk between Dropbox' Vice President of Operations, Ruchi Sanghvi and amazon.com's VP & CTO Werner Vogels - very funny and informative, and both speakers played ping-pong with words.
"Wow, everyone uses Dropbox..." - "Yeah, I bet they're all Amazon customers too..."
Dropbox is a fast growing company Ruchi joined by acquisition of Cove, a company she founded in 2011. Prior to that she was the first female engineer at Facebook. Dropbox has now over 100 Mio users and it's a plattform that connects different devices all over the world. Werner Vogels called the employees of Dropbox the "tough MIT-crowd" working on cool new stuff. While more and more usage is collaborate usage a team solution will be a next step. Dropbox analyzed the data and because of the simple usage, it just works, Dropbox is not only for sharing memories, it increases the productivity of workplaces. A higher efficiency occurs. And even universities and design agencies are working with dropbox for simple and smarter collaboration.
Amazon is more than the internet book store. Amazon offers a huge variety of tools for small and big business, cloud solutions, tools, Software as a Service. Over all a bundle of 47 services. For example the Mars curiosity rover streamed directly to amazon's servers using Amazon Web Services and all of the results are searchable and can be used by all. There are a lot of more examples for Cloud Computing with Amazon, including Dropbox.
