Tranmere Rovers 2 Aldershot Town 2
Tranmere can finally start planning their weekend in London after they booked a place at Wembley for the first time in nearly two decades.
A 2-2 draw with Aldershot in the second leg of their play-off semi-final was enough to go through 5-2 on aggregate.
Of course there were nerves, and naturally Rovers did not do things the easy way, but they now find themselves just 90 minutes from a return to the Football League.
Not since the League Cup final in 2000 have the Super White Army descended on the ground once known as "Wirral South".
But a tactical masterclass from Micky Mellon secured a 3-0 victory in the first leg earlier in the week, with Cole Stockton netting twice.
Getting a clean sheet was massive, but Rovers also had history on their side.
Since the play-offs were introduced in The Football League and National League Premier, no team has had a three goal league after the first leg and failed to go through.
It truly was a commanding position to be in, and roared on by their biggest crowd in over three years, Tranmere were desperate to impress.
Mellon named an unchanged side from the game at the Recreation Ground, meaning top scorer Andy Cook continued to settle for a place on the bench.
The visitors meanwhile had nothing to lose, and named several attacking minded players in their XI.
Aldershot had the first chance, defender Nick Arnold curling a free-kick straight at Scott Davies from 25-yards.
At the other end, Jeff Hughes saw a chipped shot deflected wide as Tranmere looked to hit their visitors on the counter attack.
It certainly was not a bad game plan. Gary Waddock had his side throwing men forward, leaving gaps at the back for Rovers to exploit.
They got in behind a couple of times, only to see the offside flag waving or for possession to be surrendered after a poor touch.
Stockton put a shot over the bar with nearly half an hour on the clock, thumping well off target after Liam Ridehalgh's cross was only partly cleared.
Then, after Matt McClure tested Davies with a long range effort, Prenton Park erupted as Tranmere took the lead - and went 4-0 up on aggregate.
The goalkeeper immediately cleared the ball deep into the Aldershot half, and it was well won by Lois Maynard. He in turn found Stockton, who showed great composure to turn round his man before curling past Cole from close range.
It was a lovely finish from the striker, who has now scored 13 times since returning to Prenton Park from a loan spell at Morecambe.
Indeed, twelve months ago it looked like his Tranmere career was over, but he has come back to the Wirral a much more confident figure and has played a huge part in the promotion push.
Taking the lead settled Rovers down, and they nearly went 2-0 up shortly afterwards, Maynard this time fizzing a shot just past the post from the edge of the box.
But with half-time approaching, Aldershot found a way back into the game as Bernard Mensah brilliantly levelled the score.
The forward curled into the top corner from 20-yards, giving Davies no chance and quietening The Kop.
The visitors now had a bit more of a spring in their step, and Emmanuel Oyeleke had another long range effort shortly afterwards, though he fired well off target.
After the break, it did not take Tranmere long to recapture their stride as Maynard rattled the woodwork with a towering back-post header from an Adam Buxton free-kick.
James Norwood then forced a terrific save out of Cole, nodding goalwards from point blank range only for the 'keeper to somehow catch.
But Aldershot were determined not to give up, and they found themselves ahead on 50-minutes after converting from a corner.
Tranmere failed to deal with a ball swung in towards the near post, with McClure getting the defining touch as he stabbed into the roof of the net.
From then on, the two teams traded blows as the ball swung from end to end.
Maynard had a couple of chances for Rovers, one a shot from 10-yards that was cleared off the line and another a header which Cole saved.
In between, McClure once again stung Davies' fingers with a swinging drive from the edge of the box.
Norwood was the next to come close, with a rapid 60-yard run ending in a shot that was blocked.
Davies then produced the save of the season to keep Rovers' noses in front as they once again struggled to deal with a corner.
This time it was Callum Reynolds who won a header at the back post, but Davies arched his back and managed to drag the ball away from the line.
The counter attack was always on, though, and Stockton stretched to stab over the bar after another quick Norwood break down the left.
By now, there were just ten minutes to go and the Super White Army started to raise the roof on Prenton Park.
Naturally, Aldershot desperately launched the ball forward hoping something would drop their way, and it was Norwood who had the final say, sliding home from close range in injury time to level at 2-2.
The excitement was too much for some Tranmere fans, who spilled onto the pitch with a couple of minutes still to play.
But after several years of hurt, the glory days could be about to return.

From Moped Wiki
Kreem is a product which seals/protects the liner of your gas tank.
From the Internet; "In a new or old tank, Kreem will seal and protect, prevent rust and stop leaks from pinholes and hairline cracks. Resistant to alcohol and gasohol; withstands most octane boosters. Most tanks require one pint of Kreem per three gallons of capacity."
- Note: While Kreem might have been the hot tip in 1975, it's likely or even plausible that a new product with a better makeup exists. While "Kreeming" your moped might have been wonderful 20 years ago, opening a tank on a bike you're looking at to buy and finding it was Kreemed in '84 isn't always the best selling point.....

More and more singers are cancelling big shows and turning to surgery to fix their damaged vocal cords. But is the problem actually down to the way they sing?

More and more singers are cancelling big shows and turning to surgery to fix their damaged vocal cords. But is the problem actually down to the way they sing?
The Guardian | Bernhard Warner
A great resource for information about voice is Vocapedia. Check it out.
". . . I often liken opera to the Olympics of singing; my voice teacher compares hearing a great singer fully in control of her instrument to watching a figure skater flawlessly execute a technical program. It's absolutely thrilling. There is an athleticism to operatic singing that is truly stunning to behold. That a single human voice can project over a full orchestra and envelop an audience of 4,000 people without any artificial amplification; that we never rely on autotune to deliver a note-perfect performance; that we can sing higher, lower, faster, and longer than anyone else in the world—all while telling the greatest stories and giving life to the most intense human emotions. How is that not exciting? In my heart of hearts, I feel that if people really knew this, they wouldn't dismiss opera as elitist or irrelevant or ridiculous. At its best, it is a perfect marriage of technical mastery, physical endurance, and artistic vision, and no amount of sexy costumes or high-concept set design can ever displace that." — Chelsea Feltman.
SOURCE: http://qz.com/228483/dont-ask-a-young-opera-singer-these-three-questions/
Singing Voice provides detailed information, history and links about the human voice, opera and the art of singing.
While a lot of knowledge has been gained over the centuries regarding singing, there is much that still remains uncertain and there are many differences of opinion among singing teachers regarding terminology and correct vocal technique.
It is hoped that the information found here may answer some of the many questions singers often have and also form the basis of an ongoing dialogue between singers, teachers, and voice scientists.
Thanks for visiting and return soon.

Faith brought Ed and Sara Johnson together.
They went to separate Seventh-day Adventist colleges and were introduced through a mutual friend, Sara's former roommate. They were married in 2012 and their spirituality is a pillar in their lives.
The Southeast Portland couple is one of the households participating in OPB's "Living Off Your Quake Kit" event May 15-17. They'll be testing their disaster preparedness and how well they can live off of their emergency supplies.
Johnson Family Supplies
While the Ed and Sara Johnson don't feel like they're fully prepared for a natural disaster, they were able to gather items around their home that could be used in the days and weeks after an earthquake.
- Propane stove with two small propane tanks
- Extra cat food for their cat, Baby K
- A flashlight in each room
- A battery-powered lantern
- Three gallons of water
- Extra toilet paper
- A first-aid kit
- Nonperishable food, including canned beans, canned soups, pasta and peanut butter
The Johnsons are active members at Your Bible Speaks Seventh-day Adventist Church in Northeast Portland, where 35-year-old Ed is the assistant treasurer and Sara, 33, is one of the counters — someone who verifies weekly offerings from congregation members.
For the past few months, Ed has been predominately going to a Russian Adventist church down the street.
"Faith transcends race and culture," he says about being the only non-white, non-Russian speaking member of the congregation. "You're part of a family."
Ed is trying to understand Russian language and culture better because his job — dental operation supervisor at the East Multnomah County Dental Clinic — has many Russian clients.
"It's a harder language than Spanish," he says.
Sara laughs, agreeing. She is fluent in Spanish and works as a medical interpreter.
Sara and her family have been talking about preparedness for years. Her large family — uncles, aunts, brothers — all come together regularly to talk about what they could do better as a group.
One topic that has comes up among her family is how they would reunite in the event of a disaster.
"We talked about Powell Butte as a meeting place for an emergency," says Sara. Turning to Ed, they talk about it as a potential meeting place for the whole family.
"It was never decided on," he says.
Learn more and join in OPB's "Living Off Your Quake Kit" weekend. On May 15-17, OPB will follow Oregon families as they try to live off their emergency supplies. You can follow along on social media with #UnpreparedNW.


text: When I first went out to work, back in the day, the top brass were always men – all the directors and chief operating officers. The only time a woman featured at the top of any company was if she was married to the boss or was the daughter of him. Not too many women reached the pinnacle in their own right without having to make many concessions. Today's world is so very different, still unfair as far as many women are concerned but things are evening out slowly but surely. In the old days, the secretaries were critically important to the boss – sometimes this would be acknowledged by way of a nice card on birthdays etc. On the whole the secretary would reliably run things but get little credit. Now we have executive PA – personal assistant, which can be a truly awesome role and worth every penny of the much increased pay packet.

The Fire Sermon
By Francesca Haig
Publisher: Gallery Books
Pub. Date: March 10, 2015
Rating: 2 and 1/2 out of 5 stars.
This is the basic premise of The Fire Sermon by Francesca Haig, a arguably YA novel with a glance at social, racial and class issues and a frontward stare into the lucrative YA dystopic science-fiction genre. The PR campaign for the book likens it to "The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy's The Road". The similarities to The Hunger Games is unmistakable. We have a female heroine who reluctantly takes on the role of leader, or might in the first book of a series, and an oppressive government who conspires to enslave the Omegas or worse. It is all exciting but the author misses The Road comparison by adhering to the rules of a commercial and mainstream YA universe. There is none of the existenial desperation and the urgency of survival that The Road burned into our brain.
But there are some really good things about The Fire Sermon mixed in with the inexplicable. Cass is an Omega born with no outward deformities. It is not until the age of 13 does her parents and community find she is an Omega. Her gift, or burden, is that she is a seer, having visions and premonitions. She and her brother, Zach, have bonded yet he betrays her and eventually become a leading figure known as "The Reformer" who may bring down all Omegas. One of the things I liked was the uncertainty Cass has toward her brother. She despises what he is doing but cannot break the emotional bond. Haig is quite a good writer and can really bring together important scenes, melding the actions and the emotions together flawlessly. She has a poet's heart in an action writers' body.
Yet overall, there are too many head shakers to make this believable. I can accept the far fetched oddities of the birth of the twins and the fact that if one dies, the other dies. I go by Arthur C.Clarke's rule that every novel can have one impossible thing. Yet Cass' seer ability is too pat. It comes when needed and fades when it isn't. The talent dictates the story, not the other way around. Also a character named Kip doesn't quite end up believable in character which is important for the conclusion. The fact is that with the important exception of Cass, Zach and another seer called "the Confessor", most characters do not take on that three dimensional push required to move the story. But the most troubling aspect is the gnawing YA feel. Cass is followed from her birth to the mid twenties. Yet she and the other characters never seem to advance in emotions and character past their teens. They seem written for the audience. It is an important distinction in that a story like this needs believable development, our protagonists do not seem to come of age in a story that is part coming-of-age. A dystopic novel needs that development and it is a common error of the YA variety. It is too bad it exists here since The Fire Sermon teases us with the expectation of being more than another YA dystopic soap opera.
But there is still a desire to find out what happens. I cant really recommend it based on this initial novel. I must say though, the young reader, probably female, that loves this stuff will be entranced. The discerning reader...not so much.

The new paperback edition of my book The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google has been published and is available at Amazon, B&N, Powell's, and your local independent bookstore. The new edition has an afterword that brings the story of the cloud up to date (and also reveals the fate of Samuel Insull). Here's how the afterword begins:
On the night of June 29, 2012, a Friday, the Internet flickered like a loose lightbulb. Thousands of Netflix movies, streaming through the screens of TVs and computers around the land, froze in midscene. The Instagram apps installed on millions of smartphones and tablets refused to upload or download snapshots. The popular online scrapbook Pinterest disappeared entirely, replaced by a simple white page bearing a curt and unhelpful legend: Server Not Responding. For Web-loving Americans, it was an irritating start to the weekend. …
Here's what some reviewers have said about the book:
Financial Times: "The best read so far about the significance of the shift to cloud computing."
Fast Company: "Future Shock for the Web-apps era … Compulsively readable – for nontechies, too."
Salon: "Magisterial … Draws an elegant and illuminating parallel between the late-19th-century electrification of America and today's computing world."
Wall Street Journal: "Mr. Carr's provocations are destined to influence CEOs and the boards and investors that support them as companies grapple with the constant change of the digital age."
Christian Science Monitor: "Widely considered to be the most influential book so far on the cloud computing movement."
Times Higher Education: "Lucid and accessible … [Carr's] account is one of high journalism, rather than of a social or computer scientist. His book should be read by anyone interested in the shift from the world wide web and its implications for industry, work and our information environment."
New York Post: "The Big Switch is thought-provoking and an enjoyable read, and the history of American electricity that makes up the first half of the book is riveting stuff. Further, the book broadly reinforces the point that it's always wise to distrust utopias, technological or otherwise."

So far I have been in the software industry is about 6 years, particularly in mobile technology. Previously, I worked at some of pioneer of mobile industry on the town. At the time, the tech is quite rare and the development cost is 'high'. There were no so ubiquitous development people on the industry. People at the university maybe didn't learn about this at the time.
There was the time where things like these are cool. We tried many cool stuff, on games, publication etc. But, if we looking back why those are flop and why some are working out, there is reason why that's happening.
Fast forward, the tech is seems to be everywhere, people can learn at many places online or offline. And students seem comtent with mobile tech development.
Many things can happened in the future.
Recently Galaxy Note 7 was shutted down. A really high profile smartphone maker close it's popular smartphone line. It's a shame after could catch up with iPhone. And actually a market creator for phablet, even Apple create phablet phone as well.
So for us learning the tools is essential. We are not creator of the tools. Google and Apple making those tools. We just really need to learn them. They working hard to make really good platform in the future.
No matter what, users is matters. What people want to download and use is matters.
Build things for the people, for the market and for the demand.

Merrimack's Coffey shines
Here's a look at what some local athletes are doing at their respective schools:
Three locals playing women's soccer at Simmons College were named to the All-GNAC (Great Northeast Athletic Conference) team. Former Bishop Guertin standout Liz Donovan, a defender, was named to the conference Second Team, while forwards Mikayla Elliott (Bishop Guertin alum) and Nashua's Kashka Gammon (Hollis Brookline alum) were named to the GNAC Third Team. Donovan started 18 of 19 matches, and was part of the reason Simmons held opponents to one goal or zero in 12 games. She also had a career high three goals. Gammon had 24 points (nine goals, six assists) while Elliott had a career high 25 points (nine goals, seven assists). Her assist total was second in the conference….
Hudson's Marissa Coronis recorded a double-double in Southern New Hampshire University's 3-0 win over Merrimack College earlier this week. Coronis had 13 kills to go with 11 digs and four blocks. Her teammate, Merrimack's Joanne Coffey, handed out 17 assists as the Penmen chase a playoff spot in the NE-10. Coronis was also named the NE-10 Co-Player of the Week at the end of October…
Former Campbell standout Sydney Crema of Litchfield had an assist in the Southern New Hampshire University women's soccer team's big NE-10 conference title win over Franklin Pierce. Crema and the Penmen are scheduled to face Georgian Court in the first round of the NCAA Division II tournament in Dobbs Ferry.

We're co-presenting Images Festival's Opening Night film and Canadian Artist Spotlight!
Reel Asian is proud to co-present at the 27th annual Images Festival (April 10-19), the largest festival in North American dedicated to experimental and independent moving culture image. On April 10th, we're co-presenting the Opening Night film From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf, an intimate documentation of merchant sailors' travels from the Arabian Sea to Western India to the coasts of Somalia. We are also thrilled to be co-presenting the Canadian Artist Spotlight on Jennifer Chan, whose work as a multidisciplinary new media artist has largely impacted the post-Internet generation. Looking for more Asian content at Images? Read our blog post!

Shot over four years with a variety of high definition, standard definition and mobile phone cameras by the artists and numerous sailors from India, Pakistan and Southern Iran, From Gulf to Gulf to Gulf, provides an unmediated view of the experience of merchant seamen who traverse the Arabian Sea from the Gulf of Kutch in Western India to Pakistan to the coast of Somalia and the Persian Gulf. A project of the inimitable CAMP collective, the film is the result of a commission by the Sharjah Biennial that allowed the artists to undertake extensive research into trade and transport in the region over several years. As part of the project, CAMP provided sailors with cell phone cameras to record their travels. The accumulated images and sounds (and the music the sailors selected to accompany them) allow us not only a remarkable window into the world of these workers, but perhaps more importantly we are shown what they themselves have chosen to document. The result is a mixture of the intimate and the epic, as we observe the sailors at work, play and in repose. We are shown the construction of the wooden vessels called dhows that look impressive on land, but appear to be extremely vulnerable when loaded down with cargo on the high seas. From livestock to motor vehicles, charcoal to beauty products, electronics to used clothing, bathtubs, beans and batteries, the litany of goods on each dhow can be diverse or uniform depending on the ports it will visit over its months at sea. The sailors film the loading and unloading of goods, storms and calm seas, dolphins, dancing and other passing ships. The editor/directors note locations and the names of the vessels, but for the most part they allow the images supplied by their cellphone-cinematographers to tell their own stories, placing the episodes in a compelling arrangement that keeps us engaged and in awe of these intrepid seafarers and the world they inhabit.

In only a few short years, Jennifer Chan has established herself as a substantial artist of the post-internet generation. Working with video, performance and various new media formats, Chan's work mimics and exaggerates the barrage of image data that has come to shape contemporary visual culture. Alongside the program of eight videos by Chan, Images has invited her to complement her work with videos by other artists. In lieu of the more traditional artist-made works one might expect to see, Chan has selected four of, what she dubs, "the best pieces of non-art pieces" she has ever seen. Her selections will be interspersed between her own works, and include the titles: Cats Morph Into Croissants, Surgeon, Kiss Me Thru Phone (iPhone remix), and I Survived 2007.
Thank you to our Co-Presentation partner:

I know people have done Advent Children videos to this song before but I still wanted to edit one. I think the song fits so well (in its own way) It's mostly about the action scenes but I always like to add some drama too.
I really had to push Windows Movie Maker to its limits in order to get this video done. And I spent approximately 15 hours making it and it turned out pretty cool, I guess.
Sorry for the quality. I know, it's terrible.
I hope you like it! Or at least the song.

Introduction: Chocolate Ice-Cream Sandwich's
Decadent, is a word that comes to mind. These are very nice as a biscuit in their own right, and coupled with homemade ice cream, superb!
Here are links to my Ice cream instructables, check them out, the flavors are delicious.
I Scream More for More Ice cream
Step 1: Ingredients for White Chocolate and Vanilla
You will need:
- 250 grams of flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 125 grams of butter
- 125 grams of sugar
- 1 egg
- 56 grams of white chocolate
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
Step 2: Beat That Butter!
Beat the butter into the sugar. Add the egg and vanilla to the bowl and beat well.
We used an electric beater as it is a lot faster. A stand mixer would work just as well.
Step 3: Melt That Chocolate!
Set up a double boiler. To do this, half fill a pot with boiling water and place a bowl on top. In this bowl melt the chocolate.
Step 4: Now Add That Chocolate!
Scrape the melted white chocolate into the mix while the beater is going. Here we have a photo of the dough half made.
Step 5: Mix That Flour!
Mix the flour, baking soda and salt together with the flour. Stir this into the mix.
Step 6: Wrap and Chill
Divide the dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours.
Step 7: Dark Chocolate and Coffee
- 250 grams of flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 125 grams of butter
- 125 grams of sugar
- 1 egg
- 56 grams of dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon of strong coffee
Step 8: Wet 'gredients
Beat the butter and sugar together, ideally using electric beaters. Add the egg and coffee and beat well.
Step 9: Melt That Cocoa Butter!
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, then with the beaters running, slowly add to the mixture.
Step 10: Flour, Wrap and Chill.
Mix together the four, baking soda, and salt. Add this to the mix and beat well. Divide dough into two, and wrap each with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours until firm.
Step 11: Roll It Flat!
Cut two large pieces of baking paper. place a round of dough in the middle of one and cover with the other piece. Roll out to about 5 mm thick between the paper.
Step 12: Onto the Tray.
Peel off the top piece of paper, and flip onto a greased tray. Cut diagonals through horizontal lines to form diamonds, or what ever shape you like. Ideally each sandwich should be roughly 6 cm by 6 cm.
If you like, prick the tops with a fork. I find this aesthetically pleasing.
I have cut a few different sizes and shapes, some of the smaller pieces are good for sticking in the top of an ice-cream on a cone.
Step 13: Make It? Bake It.
Bake in a 180 degree Celsius oven for about 10 minutes or until nicely set. When cooked, run a knife through the lines, then let cool completely on a cooling rack.
Step 14: Eatin' Time!
And that's it! Enjoy with ice cream.

A-Pyk is a Psychedelic music producer born in Greece, Athens and he fell in love with electronic music at an early age, although he started producing at the age of 21. As a kid he grew up with Tiesto, Moby and Paul Oakenfold as his mother pushed him mostly to electronic music by listening to those 3 artists almost every day. He is inspired by old-school sounds and is trying to combine it with the modern sound.
As he has no limits on the sub-genres of Psy Trance, A-Pyk produces any sub-genre of Psy Trance. Hope you enjoy my stream and tracks!

London's Langham hotel is home to what was once dubbed the world's best bar. It was a place of incredible and imaginative serves, flowing mezcal shots, and flawless hospitality. But two years ago, at the end of 2015, the stars of its bar team moved on, leaving a gap in London's cocktail scene. One that the hotel has since struggled to fill. Until now.
Announcing a brand new team of talented bartenders, including Remy Savage from the Parisian gem that is Little Red Door, and putting in Anna Sebastian as Bar Manager from the Savoy's Beaufort Bar, the Langham seems to have finally got the personalities and talent to move the bar forward. And next week they're launching their first cocktail menu. But will it be enough to put the bar back on the global map?
From what we've seen (and we've seen the menu)…. Absolutely.
We catch up with new bar manager Anna Sebastian on one of her few days away from the polished and busy hotel life of central London, down in Tooting. And she's packed a preview menu for us to ogle over.
Spanning the winter months and seeing them into March next year, this menu is unlike anything the bar has ever done, and purposefully so. This is pared back and classic, with a rich insight into the past life of each ingredient, heroing the small elements of our well-known and loved drinks. On one layer the cocktails explore how their ingredients came to be, where they were grown, and how. One a deeper layer it's a search of determinism – how something came to be.
"We have to do something different to what's been done before," says Anna. "What Alex and Simone (the two names behind Artesian when it won all its accolades) did what was right at the time for the bar. They changed the perception of hotel bars and made it into a cool, awesome party place where it was acceptable to be merry and lively. We want to preserve that atmosphere but go down an entirely different path with the drinks."
The design for this menu is simple enough; in so much as you can see exactly what'll be in your tipple of choice. Think textured paper, plenty of white space and easy-to-understand ingredients. It's artwork however is far from basic, with a visual connection to each cocktail that grows and expands, holding on to elements of the previous image but adding to the piece until it exists as a whole burst of flavour and colour.
Boiled down, this is the building block from which the new Artesian will launch.
With cocktails coming from the entire team, lead by Remy and his second-in-command Emilio Di Salvo, the turn around on the menu was incredibly tight, cutting down normal development time from a year into one month, with decisions on direction taking place before Anna had officially started.
"I think it has been long enough since the Artesian was known as Alex and Simone's," says Anna, "but there is still a huge amount of pressure to get it right in the wake of that success. However, I do think it has been long enough to come in and do something different in such a beautiful bar within one of London's best hotels. I wouldn't have left the Savoy for anything less."
So what can you expect? If you're hot on social media you'll have already seen some of the sneak peak drinks, including a Gimlet spread across three serves and cut into clear ice, and the elegant Mizuwari, a whisky serve from Japan. There'll also be a Corpse Reviver, a thrown Espresso Martini, a Screwdriver, a Flip, a Vodka Martini, a Japanese Cocktail, a Bee's Knees, a Paloma, an Islay Old Fashioned, a Negroni, a Navy Grog, a Champagne Cocktail and a Porn Star Martini – all completely reimagined and given new life by the team.
Gone however will be the crazy serves such as floating clouds.
"We're initially getting away from the 'serve', the bar needs a change. Some people will love it, others will ask where the crazy garnishes have gone but we think it will give new customers a chance to come in and enjoy the bar in a new light. There will be some visual elements of course but each drink is going to be delicious," says Anna.
Artesian's new menu will launch on December 15th and be served until the Spring.
Welcome Drink - something for each guest to sip while perusing the menu - and to ensure we all start with a fresh palate. Dolin Dry Vermouth, Chartreuse, cucumber cordial and eucalyptus oil. Or as Remy puts it, "statistical research suggests people tend to enjoy the second drink a lot more than the first, so it makes sense that the first one to be us right?"
Gimlet - an exciting serve from the new menu.
Mizawari - the final cocktail on the menu.

Nigel Clough is confident United's fortunes will soon improve, especially if they can eradicate the individual mistakes and lack of discipline that has hampered progress under his stewardship so far.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's clash at Bristol City, the Gaffer looked back on an eventful first few weeks in charge at Bramall Lane, commenting: "In all four games to date we have had the lion's share of possession, created the most chances and, arguably, had the better of the game.
"The sending off (of Febian Brandy) and the fantastic first goal proved to be the difference at Shrewsbury, whilst two mistakes have cost us dear against Gillingham. In the two victories we didn't make individual errors.
"George Long and Harry Maguire will make mistakes because their age, despite them being relatively experienced in terms of the number of games they have played. The senior players here are terrific with the younger lads and as a coaching staff we certainly know how to handle these tricky situations.
"The experienced lads have been through it themselves and know what it is like to be in the position of our youngsters at the present time.
"It isn't just youngsters here that can suffer bad days; I remember Tom Ince missing a penalty in the first minute of a game last season for Blackpool and Paul (his dad) said it affected him for the rest of the game.
"Individual errors usually prove costly at any level; it is just doubly frustrating because we haven't been under prolonged pressure in any game since we took charge last month.
"We aren't conceding many chances, yet we are losing games, so mentally we have to address that so the players are on the pitch without a negative mindset."

Military Wife Upset By Lack Of Veterans Day Cards
Brandi Scullion Hoping To Send Husband Card
A military wife told Channel 4 Action News that she was hoping to send her husband a card for Veterans Day on Friday, but was disappointed when she couldn't find what she was looking for at a local Hallmark.
"I was completely shocked. I could not imagine that any Hallmark store would not carry at least a few Veterans Day cards," Brandi Scullion told Channel 4 Action News' Sheldon Ingram.
Scullion said she went to the Hallmark store at Lebanon Shops in Castle Shannon, but couldn't find any Veterans Day cards for her husband, Robert, who is stationed in Afghanistan.
"He left very shortly after our daughter was born and I wanted to be able to send him a card that said, 'Happy Veterans Day, daddy," said Scullion.
Scullion said she asked the store manager why the cards weren't available and was told "they wanted more room for their Christmas displays. That angered me a lot."
Scullion said she believes the cards should still be available and considers it an insult they're not.
"After the shock wore off, I was angry and upset because these men and women give so much to their country and the least we can do is at least have cards available," said Scullion.
Hallmark said the company requires its stores to hold their displays through the holidays.
The owner of the store at Lebanon Shops said they still have a few cards left that are appropriate for Veterans Day, but Scullion didn't like those choices.

I had been in owned media publishing for two decades and every-where you looked, content marketing was a hot agenda item.

In this age of massive consumer choice, nothing intimidates a shopper more than a fully-stocked toy store. Filled to bursting with enough colourful critters to stock a national zoo, more building bricks than it took to build the great pyramids, and a wider variety of dolls and miniature figurines than you'd find on a film set for Gulliver's Travels, they are enough to frighten even the toughest mom.

I realised, I've not been keeping you up with exciting events around Sex Drive so here's the catch-up. Today we have a big story in the Daily Beast: "My Road Trip in Search Of America's Best Orgasm." (https://www.thedailybeast.com/my-road-trip-in-search-of-americas-best-orgasm?ref=home) Sorry about the cut-and-paste, I haven't worked out how to embed a link yet….
There are also a couple of dates for the LA diary. On Wednesday, February 13 I give a talk at something called "Fred Talks" in an evening in Santa Monica entitled "Love and Sex". Here's the link: http://www.fredtalks.net/FRED_Talks/Welcome.html. But my biggie is on February 28 at the world famous book store: BOOK SOUP
The bar is high- Ozzy Osbourne has been one of its biggest draws to date, Warhol, Bowie and Dennis Hopper have all done book signings here and Bette Middler is known to drop in on a regular basis- but I'm confident that my event at Book Soup on February 28 will not disappoint.
Known as the big cultural hub of West Hollywood, Book Soup, founded in 1975 on Sunset Boulevard is just down the road from a lot of the sleaziest sex shops in town so we'll be redressing that balance by talking about modern female desire and 18th century erogenous zones (clue: virginal pudendas and peachy breasts were the hotspots of seventeenth-century porn but by the late eighteenth century, thanks to a massive craze for flagellation fiction guess where the top areas were…).

Been a little behind with my 48 weeks pages. It's hard to find the time to sit down and do them when you have company. My Mom came out for about a month so she could be here for both kid's birthdays. I did manage to get week 13 finished and I've also been part of a napkin swap with KIF.
First here is week 13 from Donna,
and here is mine
Here are a few close-ups of some of the page texture and how the paint caught on it. This was a pretty fun page.
Next up is the KIF napkin swap. Napkins can be used many ways to add interest and texture to your mixed media creations. If you remember I used napkins on my idea cards here: https://bluecrafty.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/new-art-journal-pages-deck-of-cards/
Naturally, different areas of the US and world will receive different assortments of napkins in their stores. Because there are so many kinds out there KIF had a napkin swap where we could share some of those fun napkins with each other to expand our choices for projects. We were put into groups of five and were to send out 10 napkins to each person in the swap. (four mailings per person) 10 different ones (of course if possible). Additionally patterned tissue paper could be used to finish out the 10 if someone only had eight kinds etc. I wont show what I sent out just in case someone in my group peeks at my page. Don't want to ruin their fun by seeing what they get before it makes it to them. Here are the envelopes I decorated for them. The blue paper is covering the person's mailing address for privacy. I splattered some metallic water colors on the paper and also added a handmade stamp image. Sealed the package using some fun butterfly packing tape.
Here are a few napkins I have received so far.
There are a couple I know I will never use so I will add them to my RAK (random act of kindness) box to be included in some "happy mail" for someone else. When using them in your project, it is sometimes best to separate the layers. Most good napkins are triple ply. You only really need the layer that has the images on it.
I have a couple more things I have been working on but I will save those for the next posting. I hope everyone has been having a great art and crafty couple of weeks.

Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Acute Leukemia in First or Second Remission
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00002534

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation using untreated or treated bone marrow in treating patients with acute leukemia in first or second remission.
|Condition or disease
|Biological: anti-thymocyte globulin Drug: cyclophosphamide Drug: cytarabine Drug: methylprednisolone Drug: thiotepa Procedure: allogeneic bone marrow transplantation Procedure: in vitro-treated bone marrow transplantation Radiation: low-LET electron therapy Radiation: low-LET photon therapy
|Phase 3
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of T-cell-depleted vs unmodified allogeneic marrow rescue with regard to disease-free survival, post-transplantation leukemic relapse rate, incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease, quality of engraftment and hematopoietic reconstitution, and immunoreconstitution following transplantation in patients with acute leukemia in first or second remission.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are stratified according to disease (acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) vs acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and age (20 and under vs over 20). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. Patients under age 5 are nonrandomly assigned to Arm I and those over age 55 are nonrandomly assigned to Arm II. Arm I: Patients receive total body radiotherapy on days -7 through -4 followed by cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 and -2. Patients undergo allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) IV over 2-4 hours on day 0. Patients also receive standard graft vs host disease prophylaxis with cyclosporine and methotrexate. Arm II: Patients receive total body radiotherapy on days -9 through -6, thiotepa IV on days -5 and -4, and cyclophosphamide as in Arm I. Patients undergo T-cell depleted ABMT IV over 15 minutes on day 0. Patients over age 15 receiving bone marrow from female donors over age 30 or from male donors of any age also receive graft rejection prophylaxis consisting of antithymocyte globulin IV over 6-8 hours on days -5 and -4 and oral methylprednisolone twice daily on days -5 and -4. Beginning 2 months following transplantation, adult patients with AML and a prior history of CNS disease, all adult patients with ALL, and all pediatric patients (ALL and ANLL) receive CNS leukemia prophylaxis with cytarabine intrathecally with the diagnostic lumbar puncture and then monthly for 5 months (1 year in patients with a prior history of CNS leukemia).
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 128 patients will be randomized. At an anticipated accrual rate of 35 patients/year, accrual is expected to be completed in 4 years.

I'm 6'4", 195lbs with a 34 waist. I ordered a large (because I always order a large) and it is a little too small. It isn't necessarily the fit in the chest or the waist, nut in the shoulders. What's worse is that it is too short. I hate doing anything in the gym where I lift my arms and the t-shirt rides up. This t-shirt stops at the top of my hipbone--about two inches too short for my preference.
I usually wear a SM for most UA tops, but with broader shoulders and chest, had to size up for this one. MD fits great and material is very comfortable especially when I heat up during workout.
The material is light and expansive. My only criticism is that I would have liked the material to be a bit thicker since it's now wintertime.
I'm really surprised with some of these bad reviews. I actually really enjoyed this shirt in comparison to some of UA's other running shirts. I feel the UA's other running shirts fit a lot tighter than this particular shirt. This shirt has some breathability and does not fit too tight. I also thought that this shirt wicked sweat really well. I'd already be dry by the time I get home. I like UA's other running shirts too, but this shirt just felt much more comfortable in any run over 8 miles.
It's a little bit snug, but if you are fit, it will accentuate your physique. If not, then you don't want this shirt. If it wasn't so close to the skin it would be a better shirt. I like a little more breathing room.
I really like the feel and look. I prefer your logo over a shoulder versus mid chest.
Ideal for summer work out: material is very light. Size is ok, maybe little short as you can see from t-shirt picture.
Lichtgewicht T-shirt, snel drogend en fel geel gekleurd. Ideaal voor mijn roeisessies 's avonds op het water in de zomer. Droogt snel en is lichtgewicht met een lichte stretch. Valt wel klein dus heb nu XL waar ik normaal L draag van UA.
While the shirt looks and fits nicely, and wicks well, it has not lasted. After only six months of wear the reflective logo on the front is faded and the sides have pilled very badly. Not at all what I have come to expect from UA gear.
The fit and the fabric on this shirt are perfect.
I like the raglan sleeves, the length of the shirt (hits right at hips, not too long like so many shirts), and the weight of the fabric. Definitely buying more of this one.

Industrial Disease
Have you recently been diagnosed with some form of industrial disease or injury? Occupational health hazards are commonplace within the industrial and construction industries, as workers are inclined to be exposed to any number of chemicals and machinery. In certain cases, prolonged exposure can begin to have dire repercussions for the respiratory and nervous system, without the worker ever realising anything is amiss. Similarly, strain injuries of the back, shoulders and neck caused by heavy lifting, repetitive movement and overexertion may not present problems until later in life, amplified by the conditional effects of aging.
If you have contracted an industrial disease because of your job, you may be entitled to compensation.
Backed by years of experience in industrial claims, our no win no fee solicitors provide immediate support for anyone recently diagnosed with an industrial disease. Our costs are carried by the employer's insurance company, meaning there are no reductions to your compensation at any stage of representation. This means we can confidently offer 100% compensation for your suffering, in addition to any losses or medical costs that may be pursued.
The Evolution of Industrial Disease
It is only within the past two decades that the true effects of exposure and repetitive strain injury have been brought to light. Conditions such as asbestosis and chronic asthma are now known to be caused by exposure to certain substances, leading to revised safety regulations for working environments and practices. Whilst the likelihood of contracting an industrial disease has been slightly reduced, it is still an occupational likelihood for many working in industrial trades. Defective equipment, machinery and negligence are primary contributors to industrial disease, which in many cases can be prevented with better education, training and safety review.
Full and Final Settlement For Industrial Disease Claims
Our primary goal is to seek beneficial support and recompense for anyone suffering from industrial disease or injury. It matters little whether you are still working for the employer, or have left as a result of illness – our no win no fee solicitors can still help you seek full compensation.
Examples of Industrial Disease cases we have successfully concluded:
- Asbestos related illnesses, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis
- Cancers, such as lung and nasal cancer
- Vibration White Finger (VWF)
- Legionnaire's Disease
- Chemical poisoning – including lead and carbon monoxide
- Silicosis
- Dermatitis, skin allergies and skin cancer
- Hearing loss and tinnitus
The above list is not exhaustive. If you are suffering from an industrial disease not shown above, contact us on our free phone number above to find out whether you qualify for an industrial disease claim. Legal advice is entirely free and without obligation. If you would like to make a claim, please complete the initial online form and a member of our team will call at a time to suit.


text: Ibrahim was jailed for over a year before being exonerated Saad al-Din Ibrahim, a university professor, sociologist and critic of Egypt's military-controlled regime, admitted that his chances for success are slim, but said his possible run for the country's top job is aimed at breaking the taboo that only the sitting president can be considered a candidate. "If given the chance, I personally want to run (for president) to break the barrier of fear and intimidation," Ibrahim told The Associated Press. President Husni Mubarak, 76, has led Egypt since the 1981 assassination of his predecessor, Anwar Sadat. In four previous presidential referendums, which require Egyptians to vote yes or no, Mubarak has been the sole candidate. The next poll is set for October 2005. One-man rule "Not that I have real hopes of success, but I want to show my fellow Egyptians that nothing should be a political taboo," Ibrahim said. He spent more than a year behind bars before being exonerated in 2003 on charges related to his election monitoring activities. "If given the chance, I personally want to run (for president) to break the barrier of fearand intimidation" Saad al-Din Ibrahim,political reform activist In October, 650 activists and opposition political party members vowed to push for a constitutional amendment to end Egypt's system of one-man rule and bar Mubarak from standing for a fifth term. The activists said they would draw up a draft constitution to replace the existing one and begin circulating it soon. Mubarak, a close US ally, heads the National Democratic Party which controls the Egyptian parliament and would be unlikely to support an amendment seeking to change the presidential status quo. "We know the NDP and the president are reluctant to do it (amend the constitution), but we will keep challenging it and demanding something be done," Ibrahim said, adding that his Ibn Khaldun Centre for Development Studies will monitor the 2005 presidential poll. Changes unlikely Political experts say there is little chance a constitutional amendment demanding a direct vote for multiple presidential candidates will succeed. Many speculate Mubarak's son Jamal will inherit the presidency "The government hasn't the political will to do anything positive," Nijad al-Borai, chairman of the opposition Group for Democratic Development, said. Even if the government allowed multi-candidate elections, al-Borai said Mubarak or a candidate chosen by the establishment would still win. "What we need is to change the political environment, erase the emergency laws and allow people to demonstrate in the streets, write whatever they want and enjoy freedom of expression," he said. "After that we can talk about (presidential) elections." Egypt has maintained emergency laws since Sadat's 1981 assassination. While activists condemn the laws as too restrictive, the government says they are needed to ensure security. There has been wide speculation that Mubarak's youngest son, the business-savvy Jamal, is being groomed to replace his father, an idea that has enraged activists and been repeatedly denied by both Mubaraks.
