Black book of animals. Black Book Animals
The story of a wandering dove speaks of how quickly a flourishing species can disappear. From the others, he was distinguished by a red plumage of his neck and a blue back with sides. By the end of the 19th century, there were 5 billion individuals. In 1914, not a single one became. Wandering pigeons began to be massively killed, since the relevance of sending letters with birds has lost.

Student & Recent Graduate Competition 2019/20
This competition is open to all Landscape Design students in Australia who are currently enrolled in,
or have graduated in the past 12 months from, a design course that leads to a Diploma, Advance
Diploma, Design Certificate IV or a Degree in Landscape Design. It is an avenue to be recognised
for the knowledge you have developed and your ability to design gardens and landscapes.
You are encouraged to design imaginatively and creatively, while being mindful of the practical
considerations of site constraints and opportunities, the client brief, and environmental issues.
Competition Brief:
Using the Base Plan, design a garden for a two storey Victorian terrace house in one of the
following suburbs:
Paddington, Sydney
Fitzroy, Melbourne
Paddington, Brisbane
Base Plan>
The occupants are a couple in their late 50s, William and Emma Darcy. William is the CEO for an
international resources company. Emma owns and manages a modern sculpture gallery. William and
Emma have 3 adult children who have left home and have families of their own. The couple's five
grandchildren (ranging in age from 2 to 15) visit periodically. The couple has two large dogs.
The couple has moved into the property recently, downsizing from a much larger property in the area.
The house renovation allows a lovely flow from indoor to outdoor living on the ground floor, but they
need to upgrade their outdoor living space and make the garden visually appealing from the house.
The couple has purchased land from neighbours to extend the garden. Client would like 50% of new
planting to be indigenous if suitable for their climate.
Both William and Emma travel overseas with work for part of each month. The garden needs to thrive
without the need for intensive maintenance practices. They are not keen gardeners and they intend
to engage a gardener to provide one day of maintenance to the garden each month. They will not
carry out any additional work on the garden. They would prefer not to irrigate the garden (after the
plants are established) relying on natural rainfall, but appreciate irrigation may be necessary
depending on their climate.
William and Emma are both keen cooks and intend to use the garden to entertain family, friends and
clients, both day and night.
The design must take into consideration the existing tree in the neighbour's garden (as shown on the
Base Plan).
Sydney – Corymbia citriodora - Lemon-scented Gum
Melbourne – Gleditsia triacanthos var.inermis 'Shademaster' Thornless Honey Locust
Brisbane - Jacaranda mimosifolia – Jacaranda

Happy Diwali Poems
The clear blue sky,
The scent of flowers,
The colours of Rangoli,
And the sound of crackers.
The gifts and sweets from dear ones,
And the getting of their love,
The light of the candles below,
And the dazzling fireworks up above.
Lighting lamps at our homes,
Making the less fortunate smile,
Putting on new apparels,
Show our friends some style.
Paying respects to the gods,
And decorating for them the thali,
This is what the occasion is all about,
This is the spirit of Deepavali.
The sweet smell of flowers
The array of colors
Diwali is here
Firecrackers are heard
Candles are lit
Children play
Presents are given
We pray to the gods
Diwali is here.
Dunes of vapors from crackers rise,
Engulf, as odorous airs resound
Effusing joys to all abound
Pearls of gleams in these autumn nights
Adorn our lives else trite
With sparklers that motley skies
As soaring spirits of powder wander
Let us thank the heavenly might,
In this festive season of lights.
Today's the `Festival of Lights' all o'er;
A joyful day for minds and hearts and souls;
And people throng the Temples to offer,
Prayers, resolving to take better roles.
And most of them are richly clad and clean,
and eat such dainty foods and sweets with mirth;
Whilst noisy crackers burst, their lights are seen,
It seems to be a happy day on Earth!
But are there not hearts woe-filled, very sad?
Denied of laughter, smiles for days;
Today's the triumph of Good over bad;
But what about the wastage in much ways?
True joy is when you see someone else smile!
True charity gives joy in Heavenly style.
Joy, Joy, Joy,
We can play with our cousins
We can eat so many sweets
We can fire crackers
We can worship Goddess Lakshmi because
It is Diwali
Happy Diwali
As echelons of zillion lights adorn,
and echoes of triumph and thunder swarm,
watching even a tiny gleam perform,
devouring ill,
sparkling joy despite forlorn,
exhorts a hearty & happy year merely born

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Add another reporter to the NFL beat: Rex Ryan.
Introducing himself as "Walt Patulski from The Buffalo News," the Bills coach popped in during a conference call New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was holding with reporters in the team's media room.
Ryan asked Edelman directly if he was playing quarterback against the Bills on Sunday, given the Patriots' uncertainty at the position with Tom Brady suspended and his two backups managing injuries.
Edelman responded by saying he'll do whatever coach Bill Belichick asks of him, even if it means passing out glasses of water on the sideline. Edelman closed by saying, "You should ask coach that one."
Ryan responded by saying, "All right, Julian, I will, buddy," as the room broke out in laughter.
It's unclear whether Edelman was aware it was Ryan.
Who starts for New England is in question. Brady is serving the fourth and final game of his "Deflategate" suspension. Backup Jimmy Garoppolo has a sprained shoulder and third-stringer Jacoby Brissett hurt his thumb against Houston. Edelman played quarterback at Kent State.
Ryan acknowledged he believes he knows who will start, but wouldn't share who.
Patulski is a former defensive end, whom the Bills selected with the No. 1 pick in the 1972 draft.

Rio de Janeiro – the city that proudly offers one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the statue of Christ, the Redeemer, will make your travel to Brazil a memorable one. With the famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, the city of Rio attracts a lion's share of tourists of whole of Brazil.
To make the lives of first timers in Rio easy, the city has wonderful transportation system. No matter if you are setting your foot at Rio for the first time during your travel to Brazil, you would never feel lost.
Reduce your travel time by riding on the Subway
One of the easy and convenient modes of transportation in the city of Rio is the Subway or the Metro rail. If you desire to explore downtown on your own, Subways will make your task easy. With a couple of operating lines, the subway connects the north part of the city with downtown through Line 1 and through Line 2 it connects the southern part of the city via Flamengo, Gloria, Catete and Botafago.
Travel time in a subway is very less as compared to buses or taxis during peak hours. For example, a journey Copacabana to Centro or reverse will easily take a good 50-60 minutes during the rush hours, but the same will take nothing more than 20 minutes when traveled by Subway. The Subway is operational from 7AM in the morning to 11PM in the night. During festive times and special days, the service is available all throughout the night. Charges for one way ticket is around US $1.5.
During your travel to Brazil, you will discover that there are many bus routes in the city of Rio that ply around the city offering transportation services to locals as well as tourists. It is safe to travel in the buses all throughout the day, however in case you decide to taste the rush hours, beware of pickpockets. Bus fares range for US $2.5-$3.5. Bus services are well connected and you can take a bus to visit any of the tourist attractions in the city of Rio, no matter whatever your starting point may be.
Taxis and radio cabs are readily available
While traveling in subways and buses, you would get to fee the local flavor as you would get a chance to interact with the locals and understand the city well. However in case you prefer a more private option for commuting to the tourist spots, you may opt for taxis. Yellow taxis are available at many taxi stands which are scattered throughout the city and at the same time you can hail a taxi right from the streets.
Base fares for taxis are R$ 2.7 with the meter getting kicked off as you as you board the cab. A normal journey from Ipanema beach to downtown will take around R$ 15-20 only. Radio taxis at a higher rate are also available which are air conditioned and generally operate on fixed destination mode. As you travel to Brazil and its various cities you will not have to spend much on taxis, thanks to the inexpensive fare charts.
If you want you can also hire bicycles from the multiple bike stands and get yourself going with the bike through the bicycle lanes that are spread across the entire city of Rio de Janeiro.

|Crash location
|Nearest city
|Hood River, OR
2.1 miles away
|Tail number
|Accident date
|28 Jul 2003
|Aircraft type
|Schleicher ASW-24E
|Additional details:
On July 28, 2003, at 1015 Pacific daylight time, an experimental Schleicher ASW-24E, N24YB, motorized glider, registered to and operated by the pilot as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, collided with the terrain shortly after takeoff from the Hood River Airport, Hood River, Oregon. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The glider was substantially damaged and the private pilot, the sole occupant, was fatally injured.
The previous owner reported that the pilot just purchased this glider and it was delivered to him on July 27. The owner stated that he gave the pilot a briefing on the glider and all related equipment. A cockpit checkout was also accomplished by a local flight instructor. The first flight was discussed between the previous owner, the pilot, and the flight instructor for that day. The pilot took off and climbed to approximately 5,000 feet. The pilot stowed the engine and flew around for a while. The previous owner was in radio contact with the pilot and stated that he accomplished three engine redeployments and air restarts before returning to the airport for landing. The previous owner estimated the engine run time to have been 15 minutes for the initial climb, then five minutes for each of the three engine deployments. The previous owner reported that before the first flight he estimated the fuel on board to have been approximately 2.1 gallons or approximately 40 minutes of engine run time. The owner also reported that after the accident, he noted that the same amount of fuel was still present in the spare fuel can from the day before the accident. No fuel was added after the first flight.
The glider was equipped with a Cambridge flight recorder. The recorder was downloaded by personnel from Cambridge Aero Instruments, Inc., Horn Lake, Missouri. The flight accomplished on July 27, 2003, indicated that the flight duration was one hour and ten minutes. Engine run time was 18 minutes and 40 seconds.
On July 28, the pilot took off for the second flight in this glider at 0938 for a 26 minute flight before returning to the airport. The data indicated that the engine run time was nine minutes and 20 seconds. The accident flight was the pilot's third flight in this glider.
Witnesses reported that the glider attained an altitude of approximately 300 feet above ground level when the engine lost power. The glider made a turn when it appeared to stall and then descended into a pear orchard.
A Federal Aviation Administration Inspector from the Portland, Oregon, Flight Standards District Office, Hillsboro, Oregon, responded to the accident site. The inspector reported that the glider's fuel tanks were breached. Fuel lines running to the engine were void of fuel. Control continuity was established to the engine controls. The propeller remained attached to the engine and the crankshaft rotated. Further inspection of the engine did not reveal evidence of a mechanical failure or malfunction.
At the time of the accident, the pilot held a private pilot certificate for glider operations. The pilot obtained a third class medical certificate on March 7, 1989. No waivers or limitations were indicated, and the pilot did not list any flight time at the time of the visit.
An autopsy was performed on the pilot by Karen Gunson, M.D., Oregon State Medical Examiner. The pilot's cause of death was due to chest injuries with exsanguination.
Toxicological samples were sent to the Federal Aviation Administration Civil Aeromedical Institute, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for analysis. The results of the analysis were negative.
The pilot's failure to refuel prior to the flight, resulting in fuel exhaustion during the initial climb, followed by the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed. An inadvertent stall was a factor.

Stretch marks affect men and women equally. Especially women are more prone to stretch marks during pregnancy as a result of weight gain. They are formed by the breakage of collagen fibers caused by the overstretching of skin. There are a lot of home remedies that can help you in both preventing and removing stretch marks. Take a look at how we can keep stretch marks at bay and retain the wonderful beauty of your skin.
1. Cocoa Butter
It's a perfect recipe for removing the stretch marks! If you start its treatment at the initial stage it removes them completely and its plus point is that it also prevents the formation of new stretch marks. Massage helps in improving the blood circulation, which makes the skin look plump and hence it reduces the marks. So massage this cream thoroughly on your stretch marks!
2. Aloe vera Gel
Aloe vera is one of the best remedies of stretch marks. Apply it on your skin and massage thoroughly. It can help in the removal of scar formation. With its regular massage, broken tissues of your body start repairing. You can also add olive oil in aloe vera to increase absorption to get better results. Moreover, you also add the capsules of vitamin A and E to get an amazing power to fight these stretch marks.
3. Wheat Germ and Calendula
Calendula – A common ingredient in medicated skin creams which is used for the treatment of skin disorders and diseases. Wheat germ is replete with abundant skin vitamins like vitamin E, D, and A. It's enriched with patients and minerals which help in the nourishment of the damaged skin. Try it and you will feel the difference within a month!
4. Avocado, Sweet Almond Oil, and Jojoba
Before removing the stretch marks, we must put our efforts to prevent their further occurrence. Avocado is a natural fat which helps in the nourishment and lightening of stretch marks. add a few drops of chamomile and lavender oil into sweet almond oil, avocado, and jojoba and mix them well. Apply the mixture and feel the difference!
5. Coffee
Coffer? A treatment of stretch marks? Shocking! But it's true. Grind some coffee beans and add some collagen lotion or any herbal lotion. Mix well! Rub the mixture gently on your skin. Massage smoothly in the circular direction. Do it twice or thrice a day before taking a shower and feel the difference!

AOL mail update stinks!!!
I have had compuserve mail for many years. Never noticed any differences with the merge into AOL. Loved getting email on my i湖北体彩appPhone. Loved the AOL mail app for many reasons. It was fabulous! The last update made it a real P.I.T.A.! Every time I turn around I have to log in again. I spend more time logging in than I do communicating! In the past, I logged on once and it was active till I logged off! I expect to be required to log in on device that is public, and love the auto log out on those devices. But my personal i湖北体彩appPhone, with finger print login to use it, I have no problems with others logging into my email. I don't care a lot about others seeing my email, but I appreciate the auto locking features of public devices, but on a finger print locked device, why make it a mandatory feature? As a plea to AOL, please either go back to what it was, or add an option to let the individual choose! As it is, I am going looking for an app that lets me stayed logged in!
While I was on a train
When the second time had started the score was 0:1 over France. I watched iit on a huge screen of the Marriott Marquis hanging over the Times Square. I went live on my Facebook to share podcast with my friends all over the world; cheering for our team to win. In a second i felt really connected to the world, while reporting, messages started coming into my eyes from everywhere. The Marquis wanted to know what room am i staying in, my friends wanted to show them my surroundings, that's when my office had called asking when i return ; -" it's Friday, you know, everyone wants to go 湖北体彩app!" Well, i wished a great weekend to my viewers, wrapped up and dove into the Subway. The 2 train got a reroute at the Chambers and went straight to Cortland. I got off, went straight and up to my office, wished a great weekend to my colleagues came down on the street and right there, standing beneath the great Father of the nation i got this message what i've wished for from "America On Line" - "We won!"...
Emails don't send out
I've been an AOL mail user for quite a long time, over 10 years! and I really love AOL. But when I try to write messages out and send them when using the app, my messages don't send out and I receive a pop up message saying "Oops, this is embarrassing, something went wrong." Then I'd have to send the whole message again or I have to type it up again which is annoying. I keep in touch with friends through my email and want to be sure my messages are sent but 90% of the time on my app it pops up that message. It works fine if I go on the website into my account on the computer but for some reason the app won't cooperate all the time when using the app.
I figured I'd mention this to you because I feel it should be fixed so everyone has the chance to send emails through their phones without any problems. I'm not quite sure if anyone else has this issue but I know I've been having it since I've downloaded the app years ago.

The Tanzania National Parks authorities have recently announced that with effect from 1st of December 2007, the Western Breach Route of Kilimanjaro (Arrow Glacier) will be open to the public again.
The Western Breach route had been closed after a rockfall accident in January 2006 which has been attributed to the melting of ice in ice-scree composite caused by global warming. ZARA Tours will however not offer treks using the Western Breach Route, as it is highly risky and extremely dangerous.

Magic Standard Deck – Green Dawn (Zombies)
Hello my Nurglings!
Okay okay, first of, I said I would not do THE zombie deck for the blog. That was the deck using the Rooftop Storm and Gravedigger combo. Now, let's instead talk of another kind of zombie deck. The – Green Dawn (as in: dawn of the dead). It's all about the zombie horde!
It started with the mentioning of the "new doubling season" card – Parallel Lives. It doubles the amount of tokens you would put on the field. If you would put two tokens on the field, you put out four instead and so on. While discussing cards from Innistrad I soon after mentioned that I would love to play Army of the Damned in Standard. Soon after Johnny said, "So army of the Damned with that card would give you 26 zombies?" It kind of sky rocketed from there, talk about different token cards becoming more and more insane and the amount of Zombies would be HUMONGOUS!
Did I mention that I love old zombie movies? And the idea of making more than my local store would have tokens for makes me smile, a lot!
So here it goes the zombie horde! (I mean the creatures).
Creatures: 16
4x Diregraf Ghoul
4x Walking Corpse
4x Cemetery Reaper
4x Unbreathing Horde
So as you can see the whole idea is just to keep a steady field of creatures in the early game, a lucky enough start may even end up being to much for your opponent to handle. Unbreathing horde is also one card that is awesome once you get your token machine going. It can be huuuuuge and damage is no problem for it to handle.
So what do you need to make one awesome slowly growing Zombie army? You thought the creatures would be the backbone of the horde? Oh no, the enchantments will do that for you.
Spells: 20
4x Endless Ranks Of The Dead
4x Moan of the Unhallowed
4x Parallel Lives
3x Dismember
3x Altar's Reap
2x Army of the Damned
Endless Ranks of the Dead together with Parallel Lives = awesomeness. Why? Let's just say there will be a lot of zombies and "quickly". Just imagine one Endless Ranks and two Parallel Lives, and two zombies on the field. Next turn you get 4 zombies. Yes 4. Ranks want to create one, Lives want to create 2, and the last Lives wants to make it 4. Next turn you get… let's go through it together.
Endless Ranks of the Undead : I want to give you 3 zombies!
Parallel Lives: I want to make that 6 zombies!
Parallel Lives 2: I want to make that 12 zombies!
Yup… two turns, and 18 zombies on the field (Next turn it's 48 zombies btw).
I can't wait to try this deck out, even if just for fun (that's an awful lot of rares just to have fun I know).
Oh and the lands:
Land: 24
17x Swamp
4x Woodland Cemetery
3x Forest
Until next time, stay alive.
Cya soon!

Classic Equine's New BioFit™ Correction Pad Answers Age-old Saddle Fit Problems
The new BioFit ™ Correction Pad from Classic Equine offers real solutions to common saddle fit problems. The Bio Fit ™ features a build up strategically positioned to fit behind the horse's scapula. The build up is soft enough to conform to varied conformations, yet offers the added support necessary to fill void spaces under the saddle. By eliminating uneven pressure points, horses stay sounder and remain in competition longer.
Classic Equine's Bio Fit ™ saddle pad is a great remedy for issues where the saddle tips forward and collapses on the spine or shoulder. It also helps even out saddle pressure on horses with high withers and sunken in areas behind the scapula.
This missing muscle mass often seen just behind the shoulder blade can be the result of a number of causes such as ill-fitting saddles, confirmation, or simply a diminishing topline due to old age. No matter the cause, The BioFit ™ Correction pad by Classic Equine can help keep your horse more comfortable and improve his performance.

Yes, I just noticed this last night as well. Looks good so far.
Thanks. That is what I figured and understand, but wanted to make sure. I get that I'm free and therefore lower on the food chain. No issues on my end with Evernote. I was more trying to be helpful because I'd suspect the breadth of beta users is small. If you need to know, I'm on a Pixel 3. I appreciate your help and feedback. Have a great day.
As a non premium user, I cannot open an issue with Evernote. Given this is bug related to a beta, is there any other way to engage support? Yes, I'm aware I'm using a beta so it is my issue but one I suspect Evernote wants to get ahead of at some point. In the interim, the workaround is using your Chrome browser (set to "Desktop Site"). Thanks.

mdezrin replied to mdezrin's topic in General Discussion ArchiveThanks. I try to remember to sync. Sometimes I don't. Do you know if it will be obvious in that I'll get an error message saying note conflict, or something to that degree. Thanks again.
Note editing and syncing across devices
mdezrin posted a topic in General Discussion ArchiveHi, I've got a question about editing and syncing across devices. I use Evernote on an android tablet, phone and via a web browser. If I edit the note on one of my mobile devices, I've sometimes noticed that it doesn't necessarily sync instantaneously. So, if I go to the browser or my or other device, how do I know If I'm working with the most current note? This might happen because of connection settings (I might be inside a store or building) or perhaps I'm on my tablet which is wifi.If I'm not working with the most current note, how will evernote handle the conflict or discrepancies if I then edit on one of my other two devices? I hope my questions make sense. Thanks for the help.

It's Friday, the last working day before the weekend begins. You've been waiting for the Friday to arrive since Monday! Since the time you stepped out of the house for work your mind has already started making plans for the night. But you're not a person who'll just settle for anything. You want a place that matches your taste. So what kind of a person are you?
Are you looking for a place to just chill with your buddies after a stressful week? Or are you looking for a happening place where you can enjoy the IPL match with some amazing cocktails and finger food? or Are you the kind of person who just wants to get lost in good music and some lip smacking food?
Whichever the case I have a kick-ass place for your Friday night, Harry's Bar & Cafe at Fun Republic, Andheri. I entered the place at around 8.30 pm. The moment I set foot inside Harry's I was punched in the face with crazy energy. I felt like I entered a carnival. The noise of cheering, cocktails flowing, food serving and DJ playing; it all made the place feel so sexy!
We were a big bunch of people, around fifteen of us. We took a seat on our reserved table which was right in the center of the cafe. We were just flipping through the menu when Chef Vicky Ratnani of the "Vicky Goes Veg fame" joined us. Immediate reaction, we kept our menu away. When you have a company of the master Vicky Ratnani who the hell needs a menu card. After soaking in the carnival vibe Chef got us started with the real business, food!!!
|Harry's Signature – Eye Candy
While scanning the menu, Harry's Signature Drink Eye Candy caught my eye. This fresh watermelon martini was a refreshing experience. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said it rejuvenated my taste buds for the delicious dishes to follow. Along with our drinks we were served with House Marinated Olives with Fetta Cheese. It went very well with the drink. Using the toothpick as my skewer I managed to pick the fetta between the olives. The fragrance and natural sweetness of watermelon with the punch of gin and vermouth created a unique taste.
|House Marinated Olives with Fetta
A sip of Eye Candy and a bite of house marinated olives, my evening was off to a nice start. Some of us also tried the Singapore Sling, Sex on Pattaya Beach and Harry's Old Fashion with the last one being highly recommended one.
|Muchos Nachos
|Crispy Chilli Potatoes
The next dishes to hit our table were the Muchos Nachos and the Crispy Chilli Potatoes. I really liked the nachos. The flavour of the baked beans was nice and the liquid cheese and the sour cream completed the dish. The quantity was really good, living by the term muchos which is literally translated to "many or lots" in Spanish. Moving on to Crispy Chilli Potatoes, I just have one word to describe it, addictive! Truly, for this dish I'm going to quote Kurkure's tagline, "Kya karein control nahi hota". Mind you, we just couldn't keep our forks away from this dish. The fries were really crisp. Made with such perfection that even after going cold they didn't turn chewy. A finger food in true sense because it just didn't let my fingers rest, I would highly recommend it.
|Sex On Pattaya Beach
If you're a health freak, Vietnamese Spring Rolls is for you. The dish is made of fresh raw crisp veggies toasted with peanuts wrapped in thin rice flour sheets served with chilli soya. The soya sauce was definitely needed to complete the taste which otherwise felt totally bland. I say it was a good compliment to the rest of the dishes. The Stuart suggested that it's one of the most popular dishes among the ladies.
|Vietnamese Spring Rolls
During my conversation with Chef Vicky I asked him what kind of vegetarian food would go best with the red wine. To which he replied that he had just the right dishes for me. He ordered for Fondue Stuffed Mushrooms and Moroccono Spicy Cottage Cheese. Now can one doubt his judgement? It felt like both the dishes were made to be eaten with red wine. I particularly like the mushrooms a lot. The fondue cheese stuffed in the mushroom caps was very new for me. Brilliantly made, this dishes impressed me so much. I had no idea a mushroom dish could taste so delicious with a spicy wine.
|Fondue Stuffed Mushrooms
Another interesting cottage cheese dish was the Wasabi Cottage Cheese Squares. While it lacked the expected zing it was very well made, just like the wasabi is supposed to be. It was a pleasant experience. The Market Caesar with Grilled veggies from the Harry's Greens section was the classic Caesar salad.
|Veg Thai Curry with Sticky Rice
Next came the Veg Sliders. It is interesting to observe how the name perfectly fitted the dish. The size of the slider was perfect to simply slide into your mouth. To me it tasted more like a veggie burger whose patty was more like the jeera aaloo subji my mom makes. Overall an okay dish you could give a miss. We also ordered Peene in Cheese Sauce with less vegetables and requesting the cheese sauce to be creamy. I must say they made it very well. I loved it. The bruschettas were equally good. The flavour of olives and garlic was evident and the breads were crispy.
We were all so stuffed after nibbling such a huge delicious spread of finger food. So for the main course we just opted for Veg Thai Green Curry with Sticky Rice. I was really impressed with the taste of the curry; very tasty, comparatively lighter on the stomach and pleasant on the tongue.
|Drunken Volcano Cake
At the end entered the real hero of the evening, Drunken Volcano Cake. Believe me it's nothing like anything I've had before. When they served the dish I was like okay, so we've the usual molten chocolate lava cake and vanilla gelato. But then came the Stuart setting the liquor on flames and pouring it on the lava cake. My first reaction, Oh My God this is just crazy. I somehow managed to take picture, threw the phone aside in dug my spoon right into it. The taste and experience, Superb! Kick-ass! Super duper highly recommended.
I had truly had a merry time at Harry's. A lots of interesting conversations happened. Playing pool was a lot of fun. Some of us also danced our hearts out on the tunes of the Classic 80's music. I had a crazy time with the folks. The staff took great care and explained us each dish in much detail. People on the other tables looked quite happy and satisfied as well. It was just lovely riding with Chef Vicky on this foodie road through the kitchens of Asia, Morroco, Italy and Mexico. All in all, my Friday night was made!

|Crazy time with FatFoodie, CaptainRish and the Tucker
I was invited here as a part of Food Blogger's meet.

"The high wind noise of the dental drill, no one knew," said Rosenberg.
Ear ringing or tinnitus is often a sign of hearing loss. Farel went to several doctors, nothing worked. He decided to give these hearing supplements a try.
'We know today scientifically that hearing loss can occur in the brain. So EarAid provides nutrition for those areas of the brain that have to do with hearing loss," said otolaryngologist Dr. Murray Grossan.
Prevention is the best course, because hearing loss is permanent, but Dr. Grossan says research suggests a unique blend of ingredients including L-Carnitine, CoQ10 and selenium can help protect what you have left.
"We put 16 products that we know help the ear together. In my experience they support each other and get a much better result than one pill alone," said Dr. Grossan.
Military studies show the sooner you take these supplements after being exposed to loud noise the better it is for your hearing.
In one study, Israeli researchers gave a similar blend to soldiers following bomb blasts and gunfire.
"And they do get their hearing back and compared to those who don't. So the military has worked on that and has done a lot of good work there," said Dr. Grossan.
Experts at the House Ear Institute say while it might help some patients, rigorous clinical trials are needed before EarAid can be deemed safe and effective for everyone.
Farel Rosenberg says it's the first relief he's had from ear ringing in years.
"It's much better since taking EarAid than it was before," said Rosenberg.
A bottle of EarAid runs about $35 for a months supply. Dr. Grossan says it's best for tinnitus associated with diabetes, hypertension or thyroid illness.

NASA put a handy FAQ on their website for those that desperately want to know why the world didn't bother to end. Hell, even today's winter storm feels like a flop.
Meanwhile, there is a sale on used torches in Russia where, like everywhere else, the world spun on, if a tad more out of control than last month.
The NASA folks really get tired of your phone calls. Stop calling them. They're busy at the NASA Christmas party on the Moon.
What they don't address; however, is what all those cable stations are going to broadcast now instead of the constant flow of 2012 Mayan Apocalypse shows.
I guess they'll have to come up with a new apocalypse for next year.
I'm going with humanzee takeover. I'm pretty sure that monkey at Ikea was an advanced spy. How else could he afford such a swank sheepskin jacket?

Manufacturing processes have long been paper-based with log entries, initialing, signoffs and other transactions to manually record. While automation systems have captured some of this manual recordkeeping, they have not been able to capture everything. In batch manufacturing processes that produce thousands of batches each year, maintaining paper records for each batch is a time-consuming, […]
Sources of unplanned downtime can be many including equipment failures and human error. For downtime resulting from operator interactions, one major source of errors is the communications breakdown that sometimes happens during a shift change. If not told or seen in captured notes and observations, the incoming operators may lack visibility to the key tasks […]

I picked up Paris for One by Jojo Moyes when I was in the bookshop a few weeks ago. I don't usually read shorter stories , but I'm glad I did this one.( the Sophie Hannah quick read is great too)
The premise of the story is that a woman is stood up by her boyfriend and ends up away in Paris alone . The whole idea of it has gotten the cogs of my mind whirring .
I'm no stranger to doing things on my own. I've been single for years and realised a while back that if I didn't want to miss out on eating out and cinema trips and the like I'd just have to do them alone. My friends and family do have a giggle at my little solo evenings out but I quite like it. When the kids are away I like nothing better than going somewhere nice with a book for lunch , or dinner reading with a glass of wine. I know it sounds a bit sad but when I look around a restaurant and see couples out eating both looking at their phones without a word to say to each other, then I don't feel so bad.
I admit the time I went to the cinema alone on Valentines day wasn't the most uplifting and there was a low point at the theatre one time when an old lady shared her boiled sweets with me and kept patting my hand. I just thought she was being friendly but after the show she said " it's such a shame he didn't turn up love , you look so nice " She'd assumed I was on my own because I'd been stood up !!
After I'd read this book though , new thoughts started whirling through my mind. There are so many places I'd like that to visit, Paris being one. I've been kind of waiting to meet someone to do the whole weekend away thing with. What if I just did them on my own though?? I could go wherever I wanted , no need for compromise on destination.
I may have even found myself browsing the Eurostar website… The kids go away for a week in summer holidays…
Paris for One maybe ??!!!

Men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of this violence. Although both men and women face the risk of violence in their lives, women mostly face the threat of violence in the home from men that they know, while men face the threat of violence in public from men they do not know.
To elaborate, the most common place for women to suffer violence is in their own homes or those of their partners. Government statistics show that when a woman is physically assaulted, she knows the perpetrator in more than seven out of 10 cases.
1. Why do we call it domestic violence when, in fact, it's mostly men's violence against women?
"The names chosen to describe and explain forms of interpersonal violence will never perfectly contain the phenomenon," concedes Michael Flood, a senior lecturer in sociology at the University of Wollongong.
Such violence in society has long been given labels such as 'domestic violence', 'family violence', 'men's violence against women' and 'intimate violence', along with newly-emerging terms including 'relationship violence' and 'partner violence'.
- Women are nearly three times more likely than men to die at the hands of their intimate partner.
- Each year there are approximately 60,000 sexual assaults in Australia with women targets in nine cases out of 10. Only 0.3 per cent of perpetrators are convicted – about 10 per cent of reported assaults.
Other experts push the definition further. According to Pennsylvania State University Sociology Professor Michael P Johnson, "intimate terrorism" is how we should imagine domestic violence."Any term both includes and excludes," says Dr Flood. "I prefer the term Men's Violence Against Women. It identifies most victims of family violence as women and it identifies overwhelmingly the perpetrators of that violence."
Embracing Johnson's language allows domestic violence to be portrayed as it truly is, says Dr Flood. "Violence is both an expression of a man's power over a woman and the means through which that power is maintained."
In cases of domestic violence, physical aggression is often the start of a wide range of violent behaviour. Typically, says Dr Flood, a man starts by threatening his partner with the use of violence against her, or against their children. He sexually assaults her and intimidates her, sometimes by destroying property or showing weapons.
But his violence is psychological, too. He isolates her, monitors her behaviour and increases her emotional dependence on him. He undermines her self-esteem, with insults and emotional manipulation until she feels she has no options outside the relationship. The more alone she feels, the more likely that the abuse remains concealed. Over time, the perpetrator denies his violence and blames the victim for the abuse. This is the picture of "intimate terrorism".
2. When did domestic violence first surface as a public issue?
The single most important factor in taking up action against domestic violence has been the expanding influence of women in society, propelled by the post-war feminist movements.
Only in the early 1980s did governments actually begin seeking policy solutions to domestic violence, in a response to the feminist movement's activism and raising awareness of the issue, notes RMIT justice and legal studies lecturer Anastasia Powell.
With the silence surrounding domestic violence finally ruptured, state, territorial and federal governments all developed explicit policies addressing domestic violence, either aimed at reducing violence against women or involving more focussed action plans.
- 15 per cent of women since the age of 15 have experienced violence from a previous partner. Of these women, 36 per cent suffered violence during a pregnancy – 17 per cent experiencing violence for the first time while pregnant.
- More than half of the women who had experienced violence by a current or previous partner since the age of 15 (54.2 per cent), reported more than one incident.
"Feminist activism has made a profound difference," adds Dr Flood. He points to successes such as the creation of women's refuges as a safety net for victims, as well as the push to outlaw rape in marriage and other forms of violence that previously were not deemed criminal acts.
Up until this point, violence between intimate partners was simply labelled a "domestic" and was considered a private, individualised matter that was often blamed on the victim.
Dr Flood considers that a measure of the movement's success was its ability to shift public attitudes.
"Now we see it as a crime," he reflects. "The problem remains, but we've made real gains in terms of services, criminal justice and the community's attitudes.
"We're talking about a social problem rooted in gender norms and gender relations, and it's hard to shift gender attitudes but there has been progress."
3. What can the statistics tell us?
No woman is immune from encountering violence: domestic violence crosses all classes and communities.
However, it doesn't touch them evenly and some women are more at risk than others. What is important to remember, says Renee Imbesi, the manager of VicHealth's Preventing Violence Against Women Program, is that men's violence is dictated by a strong belief in gender roles (cultural norms about what is a masculine role in society) and weak support for gender equality.
- The threat is less from strangers. More than half of murdered women (55 per cent) are killed by their current or a previous partner, while 78 per cent of incidents of sexual violence are perpetrated by a person known to the woman.
- 5.8 per cent of Australian women have experienced violence from men in the past 12 months.
Across cultures, wife abuse is more likely in couples with a husband who dominates the decisions and economics of the family, says Dr Flood. "Men raised in patriarchal families with traditional gender roles are more likely to become violent adults, to rape female acquaintances and to batter their intimate partners than men raised in more egalitarian homes."
Dr Flood's research has found higher rates of intimate partner violence, including homicide, in rural areas and even higher in remote areas, compared to cities.
He also found that children who were raised by violent parents were more likely to inherit their violence. Called 'intergenerational transmission', children who witnessed violence, or were victims of violence themselves, were more likely as adults to have violent attitudes and to perpetrate violence.
Economic and social disadvantage plays a part, as men in blue-collar occupations and with lower levels of education have statistically poorer attitudes towards violence than other men. Rates for reported domestic violence are higher in these areas.
Issues of poverty may initiate marital tensions or make it harder for women to leave violent or bad relationships, argues Dr Lori Heise, lecturer in social epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
However, her more recent research has found the connection between violence and household poverty is unclear, with some studies finding no effect.
The body of statistics underscores one inescapable fact: some men are more likely to use violence than other men. Dr Flood says men who do not adhere to patriarchal and hostile gender norms are less likely to assault an intimate partner, either physically or sexually.
"The most significant predictors of men's perpetration of intimate partner violence are their own patriarchal and hostile gendered attitudes."
4. What is the cost of violence against women?
Violence against women and their children in Australia, discounting unreported violence, is estimated to cost $US14.7 billion a year, according to a study by consultants KPMG. This puts the financial cost at 1.1 per cent of gross domestic product, or GDP, equating to around $US6500 per capita.
This figure is comprised of both direct and indirect costs. Direct costs are found in services provided to prevent, tackle and resolve domestic violence. Money goes into providing shelters and refuges: family violence is also the major reason for use of all homelessness services in Australia.
- One-in-10 women who had experienced violence by their current partner had a violence order issued against that partner but for one-in-five of these women the violence continued.
- One-third of all women since age 15 have experienced workplace sexual harassment.
The cost of policing violence against women is climbing, too. Dealing with family violence accounts for nine per cent of total NSW Police hours – about 625,000 hours a year. Victoria Police filed 1000 family violence incident reports a week last year. Added to this are child protection costs and, longer term, the cost of crimes committed by children from abusive households.
The indirect costs of domestic violence are harder to measure. These are the intangible costs – the pain, suffering and premature mortality of women and children who are subjected to violence. It is estimated that roughly half of all costs are indirect.
Domestic violence costs business around half a billion dollars every year, says Sex Discrimination Commissioner Elizabeth Broderick, who argues that business has been missing from the conversation. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, two-thirds of women who experience domestic violence are in paid work.
5. The problem with the statistics
Much of the data on men's violence against women in Australia comes from women's refuges and the Bureau of Statistics Personal Safety Study, the last of which was released in 2005. The data and research on violence against women is not extensive or sufficient enough to point to an easy solution.
"Evidence-based violence prevention results are pretty poor," says Michael Flood. "We certainly don't know what does or doesn't work in prevention."
The Personal Safety Study is flawed by the way it collects data on violence, he argues. Although it does well to collect data on instances of physical aggression – such as kicking, punching and sexual violence – it is limited in its conception of violence and the impact of that violence.
- Indigenous women face violence at five times the rate of non-Indigenous women in NSW and more than 11 times the rate in South Australia. Aboriginal women in the Northern Territory are 80 times more likely to be hospitalised for assault than a non-Indigenous woman.
"Many victims report the physical violence they suffer is less damaging than the relentless psychological abuse that cripples and isolates them."
A better study, he believes, would acknowledge that violence shouldn't be defined by separate (though connected) incidents, but reflect the part those incidents play in larger circumstances where someone controls or isolates a victim.
A new Personal Safety Study is due to be released soon, having canvassed a greater range of questions and more about the impact of violent acts.
"The next round of data will be much richer," says Dr Flood.
