Atlas Copco has claimed a record year after posting full-year revenues of €11.88 billion for 2017 – a year-on-year increase of 15%.
The company underwent major structural changes in 2017, rebranding its construction business previously known as Construction Technique, to Power Technique. It also divested its roadbuilding segment, which operated under the brand name Dynapac, to Fayat Group. Other smaller divestments and acquisitions were also signed and sealed over the course of the year, with spin-off company Epiroc added to its ranks.
Operating profit for the Swedish company was up 22%, to €2.47 billion, which is a margin of 20.8% on its revenues. Orders received were also up 20%, to €12.6 million.
The company’s fourth quarter yielded strong results, too. Both its revenues and operating profit grew 8% each, compared to the fourth quarter of 2016. Fourth-quarter revenues were €3.15 billion, while operating profit for the quarter was €635.83 million.
Rahmström added that the company would continue to make acquisitions, stating “We continue to focus on organic growth complemented with strategic acquisitions”.
Atlas Copco said the on-going split of the group was proceeding according to plan. A final decision to spin-off its newly-formed Epiroc business will be made on 24 April, at its annual general meeting. Epiroc will specialise in serving the company’s mining and civil engineering customers, while Atlas Copco will remain focused on its industrial customers.

He most recently starred in 'James White,' which received strong reviews at Sundance.
Fresh off garnering strong praise for his performance in drama James White at Sundance, Christopher Abbott has booked a role in Tina Fey's untitled project.
The Paramount film is an adaptation of journalist Kim Barker’s wartime memoir, The Taliban Shuffle. The story recounts Barker’s experiences covering conflicts in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's said to be a dark comedy dealing with Barker's fish-out-of-water experience and the challenges of being a woman in wartime Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Fey will produce and play the journalist, while Margot Robbie and Martin Freeman are also attached. Abbott's role currently is being kept under wraps. Paramount had no comment.
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are directing. Robert Carlock, who worked with Fey as a writer on 30 Rock, has penned the script. Ian Bryce and Lorne Michaels also are producing the film, which will begin shooting in New Mexico this month.
Abbott played the titular character in James White, the feature debut for writer-director Josh Mond of Borderline Films. The film, centering on a troubled 20-something and his cancer-ridden mother (Cynthia Nixon), was widely praised at the fest, with THR describing the project as "a distinctive portrait of anger, pain and grief that unfolds simultaneously on and under the skin." The film won the NEXT Audience Award at the fest.
Abbott previously starred on HBO's Girls for two seasons, and his other film roles have included A Most Violent Year and Martha Marcy May Marlene. He's repped by WME and Parseghian Planco.

Eye blinking, squeaking noises, head jerking, shoulder shrugging, humming, the list goes on. They mysteriously come and go; some days they are bad, other days not so bad. People asking “why are you doing that?” or “stop doing that!” Pediatrician, eye doctor, allergist, neurologist, EEG, and MRI appointments including hour long car rides each way to All Children’s Hospital in St. Pete for habit reversal therapy. This somewhat describes what life was like growing up with TS and I know most kids would agree their lives are probably similar. But can most kids think back to something positive that happened while traveling down the long road of living with TS?
When I was in 5th grade, my tics were at their worst and one tic that was present that year was head shaking. There was a boy in my class who hadn’t been In my class in previous years of elementary school so I didn’t know him very well. One day I noticed he was shaking his head like I did, but I didn’t think anything about it. Not long after that, we were at our school’s “skate night” at the local roller rink and some kids in my class had all made a long chain, holding on to each while skating and there was Patrick (Patty) and I skating and shaking our heads. My mom saw us and wondered if it could be possible that Patty had tics like me. She contacted his mom who told us that Patty was currently being tested for PANDAS which is similar to TS. She also told us that Dr. Murphy, a pediatric neuropsychiatrist in St. Pete was who we needed to see. Going to see her is what finally gave me the official TS diagnosis and led to attending habit reversal therapy. I bet there aren’t many kids with this condition that can say they have had a classmate that had it too. Patty ended up moving to California that summer, but for one year, I wasn’t alone!
The other positive thing I choose to focus on is that my TS is mild. At my first appointment with Dr. Murphy, she observed me for a long time while her intern asked me a lot of questions. At the end of the session, she told me that I am very fortunate compared to many of her patients who have such severe cases that they can’t even go to school. Because my tics are mild, I’ve never taken medicine and I’ve never had a 504 plan at school even though I could have had one.
Has it been tough dealing with TS? Has it been inconvenient? You bet is has, but I prefer to focus on the positive things that happened while dealing with TS. It’s definitely been a challenge to live with, but it will never define me or get me down.
I have TS but it doesn’t have me.

Do you want to build your own home?
We are required to keep a register of interest for custom and self-build demand and make available suitable plots for doing so.
We would like to find out how many people are interested in building their own home within Wycombe district, and what help they may need with this. If you are interested in any aspect of custom or self-build then complete the online form. The information obtained through the self-build register will be used to inform planning policies in the new Local Plan which will seek to provide a proportion of self-build plots on large sites, relevant to the scale of the demand identified on the self-build register.
To be eligible for the self-build register you must be aged 18 or older; a British citizen, a national of a European Economic Area State other than the United Kingdom, or a national of Switzerland; and seeking to acquire a serviced plot land to be your sole or main residence.
What are custom and self-build homes?
A custom and self-build home is where someone directly organises the design and construction of their new home rather than buying from a speculative home builder.
A custom build home is generally built on a site that has been divided into individual serviced plots by a developer. These plots come fully serviced – road access, foul and surface water drainage and utilities including water, gas, electricity and telecommunications – ready to build on with outline planning permission in place.
A self-build is where there is no purpose built serviced plots provided. This requires buying the right site, obtaining planning permission and servicing the site. Whilst there are higher risks involved, there is more flexibility in building a home exactly how you want it.
There are also examples of community self-build. This is where a group forms on its own or is brought together by some organisation, and the participants either work on each other’s homes until all the units are complete or subdivide land into plots and organise the construction of their home individually.

It has been related by a group from the Salaf (Pious Predecessors), in many narrations, that these five deities were righteous worshippers. However, when they died, Shaytaan (Satan) whispered into their people to retreat and sit at their graves. Then Shaytaan whispered to those who came after them that they should take them as idols, beautifying to them the idea that you will be reminded of them and thereby follow them in righteous conduct. Then Shaytaan suggested to the third generation that they should worship these idols besides Allaah – the most high – and he whispered to them that this is what their forefathers used to do!!!
Thus the wisdom of Allaah – the Blessed, the Most High – was fufilled, when he sent Muhammed sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam as the final prophet and made his Sharee’ah the completion of all divinely Prescribed Laws, in that He prohibited all means and avenues by which people may fall into Shirk – which is the greatest of sins. For this reason, building shrines over graves and intending to specifically travel to them, taking them as places of festivity and gathering and swearing an oath by the inmate of a grave; have all been prohibited. All of these lead to excessiveness and lead to the worship of other than Allaah – the Most High.
This being the case even more so in an age in which knowledge is diminishing, ignorance is increasing, thre are few sincere advisors ( to the truth) and shaytaan is co-operating with men and jinn to misguide mankind and to take them away from the worship of Allaah alone – the Blessed, the Most High.
2. Related by Ibn Jareer at-Tabaree in his tafseer (4/275) and al-Haakim (2/546) who said: “It is authentic according to the criterion of al-Bukhari.” Adh-Dhahabee also agreed.
3. Al-Khawaakibud-Duraaree fee Tarteeb Musnadul-Imaam Ahmad’alaa Abwaabil-Bukhaaree (6/212/1), still in manuscript form.
Earlier in this blog we have urged Christians to reconsider their belief especially with regards to God’s divine attributes. In it, the traits of God are unique and cannot be shared with His creatures; on the same lines, since the attributes of mortals are created, bounded and limited, they cannot be vested upon God! Nevertheless, sadly, many of those who identify themselves as “monotheists” breach monotheism exactly in this area. They would either believe in a “God” with humanly traits or give humans the attributes of God. And both these situations are deadly.
Nevertheless, rooted in monotheism, pure belief does get reflected sporadically in Christian thinking. Consider, for instance, a particular biblical incident. We read in the Book of Genesis that God sanctified the seventh day because “in it he had rested from all his work” (Genesis 2:3, King James Version).
Christians would never allow any misinterpretation of the preceding verse, especially the usage of the word “rested” in it. They would explain that to rest here means that God completed His work of creation and therefore “ceased” working on the seventh day. And thus, “rested” is not to be understood with its general import that God became tired of long six days of work, and consequently “rested” on the seventh day!
As monotheists we should not have any objections to this exegesis. God is perfect and so is His attributes and therefore, nothing imperfect can be associated with Him. We must have a conciliatory approach because it does not behoove the God of Abraham (peace be upon him) to rest out of exhaustion; and it is rightly deemed as blasphemous in Christian circles to interpret that God was tired of work. At the same time the exegesis also entails that God’s attributes are immutable – they cannot change with time and space. If God did not exhaust when He was creating everything that exists, then He would never exhaust out of any work that He does.
Nevertheless, Christian thinking takes a U-turn when it comes to Christology. Christians would not apply same principles when considering the deity of Christ (peace be upon him). Although the Yahweh of Genesis is exegetically not allowed merely to “rest”; in the New Testament we have a complete “God” being killed, let alone the incarnation and everything earthly, non-divine entailing with it! Christians should scruple that if Yahweh cannot “rest” then “God” certainly cannot “die”!
As a norm, Christianity has accepted that the only mode of salvation is through the alleged death and resurrection of Jesus (peace be upon him). Obviously this is not in accord with the established biblical view of God’s plan of salvation; it has got theological, logical and practical issues with it and we are going to look at some of them herein.
Therefore, we find that the Jewish concept of sin, forgiveness and salvation would come close to human cognizance and acceptance as compared to its Christian counterpart.
“Turn to the LORD and pray to him, now that he is near. Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the LORD, our God; HE IS MERCIFUL AND QUICK TO FORGIVE. “My thoughts.” says the LORD, “are not like yours, and my ways are different from yours. As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours.
In some things there may be a likeness between the thoughts of God and the thoughts of men, as to the nature of them: thoughts are natural and essential to them both; they are within them, are internal acts, and unknown to others, till made known; but then the thoughts of men are finite and limited, whereas the thoughts of the Lord are infinite and boundless; men’s thoughts have a beginning, but the Lord’s have none; though not so much the nature as the quality of them is here intended: the thoughts of men are evil, even the imagination of their thoughts, yea, every imagination is, and that always and only so; but the thoughts of God are holy, as appears from his purposes and covenant, and all his acts of grace, in redemption, calling, and preparing his people for glory: the thoughts of men, as to the object of them, are vain, and nothing worth; their thoughts and sentiments of things are very different from the Lord’s, as about sin, concerning Christ, the truths of the Gospel, the people of God, religion, holiness, and a future state, and in reference to the business of salvation; they think they can save themselves; that their own works of righteousness are sufficient to justify them; their privileges and profession such, that they shall be saved; their wisdom, riches, and honour, a security to them from damnation: however, that their sincere obedience, with repentance for what is amiss, will entitle them to happiness: but the thoughts of God are the reverse of all this; particularly with respect to pardoning mercy their thoughts are different; carnal men think of mercy, but not of justice, and of having pardoning mercy in an absolute way, and not through Christ, and without conversion and repentance; and so this is a reason why men’s thoughts are to be forsaken, because so very unlike to the Lord’s. OR ELSE THESE WORDS ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS AN ARGUMENT, PROVING THAT GOD DOES ABUNDANTLY PARDON ALL RETURNING SINNERS; SINCE HE IS NOT LIKE MEN, BACKWARD TO FORGIVE, ESPECIALLY GREAT AND AGGRAVATED CRIMES, BUT IS READY, FREE, AND WILLING TO FORGIVE, EVEN THOSE OF THE MOST AGGRAVATED CIRCUMSTANCES.
These were only some instances from the Hebrew Bible, a fuller account can be read here. Nevertheless, the preceding does establish that (i) the attribute of “justice” do not preempt God from accepting sincere repentances for blotting out transgressions. (ii) We saw that the free-flowing, unconditional mercy of God does not need that a cultic sacrifice of an innocent be made to forgive sins.
The preceding passage information is compatible with the Hebrew sacrifices: Once an animal was slaughtered, its sacrificial benefits were useful only for that particular year. For any subsequent year, a new sacrifice was to be made. Similarly, once the ultimate, costly sacrifice (c.f. 1 Peter 1: 18-19) was paid for the sins of humanity, there cannot remain any possibility of backsliding. People who have been manumitted cannot expect any room as far as any further sins are concerned. This explains why Christians baptized are often called as “born-again”. Thus, the alleged sacrifice of Jesus (peace be upon him) can be used only once and if it is exhausted without proper use then there is no way out except for eternal damnation.
This, however, portrays an infinitely merciful God as a mere parochial accountant who would give a unit of mercy in return of commensurate unit of sacrifice; and that’s it – end of transaction. Any new transaction would need a new sacrifice, but since there is no other sacrifice left after Jesus (peace be upon him) therefore, there is no chance for salvation.
Furthermore, this also expects that man be perfect (c.f. Matthew 5:48); it assumes that man would not sin “after truth has been made known to” him; to say the least, it is impractical even to remotely assume that man would not sin. For example, Christian(s)assume that pre-Jesus (peace be upon him) mercies were rendered due to future – would-happen – crucifixion. However, we know that multiple Jewish communities including prophets committed sins as ghastly as worshipping idols; Solomon (peace be upon him) himself, for example; and yet they are all saved!!?? (c.f. 1 Kings 11)!
Further, the Jewish God was not a onetime-forgiver; rather he would forgive the Jewish community over and over again under the leadership of different Hebrew prophets and patriarchs (Joel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Samuel, David, Isaiah). We documented it here.
On one hand where the Christian concept of vicarious atonement is not supported by the Hebrew Bible; on the other hand, vicarious atonement also entails logical issues with it: Firstly, it is not just and logical enough to punish somebody else in place of the actual sinner and then reward the sinner for the miscarried judgment on the innocent!?
Secondly, it is not logical and practical enough to assume that man would not sin after accepting the alleged ultimate sacrifice of Jesus (peace be upon him). Even if it is allowed, and man owing to his nature backslides, then obviously there would remain no other way out for salvation as the ultimate sacrifice is exhausted.
Even though these are obvious issues with Christian philosophies of sin and salvation yet, ironically, the Hebrew Bible provides acceptable solutions: The God of Hebrews is just enough to punish only the transgressors and at the same time merciful enough to accept sincere repentances over and over again.
He has no account of the virgin birth of Jesus–or for that matter, any birth of Jesus at all. In fact, Joseph, husband of Mary is never named in Mark’s gospel at all–and Jesus his called a “son of Mary,” see my previous post on this here. But even more significant is Mark’s strange ending. He has no appearances of Jesus following the visit of the women on Easter morning to the empty tomb!
The evidence is clear. This ending is not found in our earliest and most reliable Greek copies of Mark. Clement of Alexandria and Origen (early 3rd century) show no knowledge of the existence of these verses; furthermore Eusebius and Jerome attest that the passage was absent from almost all Greek copies of Mark known to them. The language and style of the Greek is clearly not Markan, and it is pretty evident that what the forger did was take sections of the endings of Matthew, Luke, and John (marked respectively in red, blue, and purple above) and simply create a “proper” ending.
So that said, what about the original ending of Mark? Its implications are rather astounding for Christian origins. I have dealt with this issue more generally in my post, “What Really Happened on Easter Morning,” that sets the stage for the following implications.
The faith that Mark reflects, namely that Jesus has been “raised up” or lifted up to heaven, is precisely parallel to that of Paul–who is the earliest witness to this understanding of Jesus’ resurrection. You can read my full exposition of Paul’s understanding “the heavenly glorified Christ,” whom he claims to encounter, here. And notably, he parallels his own visionary experience to that of Peter, James, and the rest of the apostles. What this means is that when Paul wrote, in the 50s CE, this was the resurrection faith of the early followers of Jesus! Since Matthew, Luke, and John come so much later, and clearly reflect the period after 70 CE when all of the first witnesses were dead–including Peter, Paul, and James the brother of Jesus, they are clearly 2nd generation traditions and should not be given priority.
Finally, what we recently discovered in the Talpiot tomb under the condominium building, not 200 feet from the “Jesus family” tomb, offers a powerful testimony to this same kind of early Christian faith in Jesus’ resurrection. On one of the ossuaries, or bone boxes in this tomb, is a four line Greek inscription which I have translated as: I Wondrous Yehovah lift up–lift up! And this is next to a second ossuary representing the “sign of Jonah” with a large fish expelling the head of a human stick figure, recalling the story of Jonah. In that text Jonah sees himself as having passed into the gates of Sheol or death, from which he utters a prayer of salvation from the belly of the fish: “O Yehovah my God, you lifted up my life from the Pit!” (Jonah 2:6). It is a rare thing when our textual evidence seems to either reflect or correspond to the material evidence and I believe in the case of the two Talpiot tombs, and the early resurrection faith reflected in Paul and Mark, that is precisely what we have. That this latest archaeological evidence corresponds so closely to Mark and Paul, our first witnesses to the earliest Christian understanding of Jesus’ resurrection, I find to be most striking.
End of Dr. Tabor’s post.
“Later” Christians found Mark’s gospel to be deficient consequently it was placed second in the New Testament canonization of gospels along with suitable appendix. This undoubtedly indicates that (i) “earliest” Christians – the Markan community – did not consider the gospel to be “deficient” in need of any “fixation”. For them the evangelist – supposedly Mark – was providing the “Good News” of Jesus (p) (c.f. Mark 1:1). (ii) The process of canonization was very subjective. It was left to the theological experiences of later Christians, and not the texts themselves, to decide upon the canonization.
Dr. Tabor provides two reasons for the “concocted” ending of the gospel to be “patently false” and “patently bogus”: (i) Earliest gospel – the gospel of Mark – which does not has the post-crucifixion appearance of Jesus (peace be upon him) will have precedence of antiquity on her counterpart gospels (Matthew, Luke, John) which do have post crucifixion sightings of Jesus (peace be upon him). So, the additional ending to the gospel is “forgery”. (ii) Hundreds of best and earliest manuscripts do not include the fabricated ending as attested by multiple “orthodox” fathers.
Dr. Tabor’s choice of word for Jesus’ (peace be upon him) post-crucifixion appearance is very intriguing. Notice on multiple occasions he has used “resuscitated” body than resurrected body! This alludes that Jesus (peace be upon him) would have “appeared” to be dead in the wake of his crucifixion (compare Qur’an 4:157), when in reality he was only senseless and later his body was “resuscitated” to strength. This further implies that Jesus (peace be upon him) did not die and thus, probably, Dr. Tabor did not choose the word “resurrected”. Modern Muslim theologians like Dr. Shabbir Ally do endorse the theory of resuscitation in their exegesis of Qur’an 4:157.
Did Jesus (p) abolish Jewish Kosher?
It is highly probable that the Christian next-door is into an all-inclusive dietary practice. S/he would not be scrupulous with the foods being consumed as Jew (or a Muslim) would be. It is almost considered lawful to consume food items which are prohibited in the Bible. Sadly enough, many Christians try to prove their position from the Bible itself! In fact some Bible versions have taken it for granted that Jesus (peace be upon him) allowed every food for them rescinding Mosaic Laws! One such incident happened at this very blog when a Christian used biblical passages to support his view.
Therefore, we have decided to take a close look into the matter if it is really permissible that a Christian consume any food that s/he like even those forbidden in the Bible. We would consider one of the most famous of the New Testament passage herein.
Did Jesus (p) allow all kinds of food?
Consider the construction of Jesus’ (peace be upon him) statement in the first place: If Jesus’ (peace be upon him) intent would have been merely to allow all foods permissible for his disciples then he would not probably had started his statement with a strong exhortation to “listen” him carefully and “understand”. Obviously there was much more to be understood than what would apparently appear from his words. Through such a cautious expression, Jesus (peace be upon him) wanted his disciples to be careful to second part of his statement where he alarms his audience from the evils that “comes out of a person that makes him unclean”.
Understand that for Jesus (peace be upon him) the Pharisees were not qualified to be talking about ritual niceties when they had devised ways how they could be excused from helping their own aging parents! For Jesus (peace be upon him) the demand of ritual cleaning was as folly as the excuse of the “Corban”, let alone the fact that the ritual it was an innovation. In this context, therefore, when Jesus (peace be upon him) stated that nothing that goes in defiles a person, then Jesus (peace be upon him) was not really talking about permissibility of foods as he was concerned about refuting the snares of Pharisees.
We can further appreciate that (i) Jesus (peace be upon him) did not construct his statement more obviously as “nothing that a person eats”; rather he said “nothing that goes into a person”! This is more than just a hint that Jesus (peace be upon him) was not really concerned about food here. Furthermore, (ii) Jesus (peace be upon him) is comparing food (goes in) and actions (comes out), or at least talking about both of them simultaneously, when both are quite disparate! These should help us interpret Jesus (peace be upon him) correctly that he was not as much concerned and discussing food and its rulings as he was vexed with the inner corruption of the same Pharisees advocating their (man-made) rituals. This understanding is further corroborated by the fact that where Jesus (peace be upon him) devotes only a verse (v.19) for things going into a person, he devotes four verses (vv. 20-23) into explaining about the evils emanating out of men.
If food is just-food without any scruples of God-consciousness since they merely have to enter stomach and not heart then why is Paul so concerned about food offered to idols! If, “Nothing that goes into a person from outside can really make him unclean” then why is it an issue whether the food is offered at the altar of God or “demon”? Similarly, how does one become a partner of demon when Jesus (peace be upon him) declared the “outside” food cannot really make him “unclean”?
On the same line of reasoning, if that “what comes out of a person that makes him unclean” (Mark 7:20) and the (Christian) believers have become pure in their association with Christ (peace be upon him) then how come anything constitute “the cup of demons”.
These queries are irreconcilable if we continue to misinterpret Jesus’ (peace be upon him) statement merely to satisfy our eating appetites.
Therefore, it seems that Jesus’ (peace be upon him) expression is more about moral sanctity of men than rulings on foods. In fact, we do not find any real reason why Jesus (peace be upon him) need to discuss food-rulings at all since (i) Jews were abreast of Mosaic commandments already and Jesus (peace be upon him) had initially upheld every facet of the Laws. And (ii) there is no hint that Jesus (peace be upon him) ever ate food which was condemned as defiling by the Laws. Add to it that Jesus (peace be upon him) considered the act of ritually washing hands as mere innovation. Consequently, a mere innovation could not possibly decide cleaning/defiling of men and thus Jesus (peace be upon him) could say that nothing going “in” without this man-made ritual cleansing could defile men as an expression to debunk innovations in the religion! Furthermore, if Jesus (peace be upon him) is (mis) understood for permitting “any” food then, consistently, even food offered to idols would become lawful! This obviously is a problem.
On the foregoing, if we are to be careful towards the text and sincere towards the speaker, especially when he himself is not around to explain the imports, then we would have to accept that Jesus (peace be upon him) did not really gave permission to the Christians to choose dietary at their free will.

HOME > Travel Posts > Asia > Vietnam > Because Of The Vietnamese Food, We Finally Eat Vegetables!
A fall, we flew for 3 hours to a place where travel costs are low. Slow travel is always our favorite way to travel, so we planned 8 days to explore, but people usually plan 4 to 5 days. This time, the city we were traveling to was not Ho Chi Minh city, it was Hanoi! A city is more than the old architectures, and fills with vietnamese food.
Is Vietnamese Food Clean To Eat?
Do You Dare To Eat Vietnamese Food?
What is the taste of Vietnamese food in your mind? Is it the insipid noodle soup and the sauces which help yourself? Most travelers told us how beautiful the scenery in Vietnam is, but not the Vietnamese food. When we asked about food, the reaction may be the same as you. Thus, it has brought us an impact that we shouldn’t have high expectations for Vietnamese foods.
Before we hit the road, we planned well as usual for accommodation, signed tour packages, Vietnamese food lists and places to visit. Along the way, we’ve been discussing happily the places to go, not what to eat. The first day in Hanoi was late at night. We went straight to the hotel to rest and find some snacks on the go.
After the body was charged, we woke up very early and looked for food. The first Vietnamese food shocked us; you can see the photo above, the amount of scallion in the soup and compare it to the soup in Malaysia. In Malaysia, there is a saying that “eating out is unhealthy,” which means eating out is not nutritionally balanced. Hence, the recommended daily intake of vegetables is usually not reached. For us, we were a bit resistant to the soup.
Once we tried the Pho (Vietnamese soup), we understood why travelers said the Vietnamese food is bland. Let me explain that the flavor we like tends to natural and fresh rather than excessive salt and seasonings. For those who love a strong taste or flavor, this soup is not suitable for them. We found the beef soup tasted sweet and refreshing with the aroma of scallions. Also, we didn’t resist this massive amount of scallions and even felt that is one of the essential protagonists of the soup. Vietnamese food is so great! we could not help to think of our Taiwan trip, delicious foods are been there everywhere. From the taste and the appearance of Vietnamese food, you will know that the majority of the Vietnamese have been living in poverty. Thus, the meals are not costly, and its appearance is simple but rich in flavor.
Our next meal was Bun Cha (Vietnamese dish of grilled pork and noodle). After Ryan ordered up the dishes, the waitress served us roasted pork, plain noodles and a bucket of raw vegetables, which surprised us. We were wondering how we gonna to eats this bucket of raw vegetables, so I asked the waitress for guidance and what vegetables are these.
She said that most Vietnamese meals come with free raw veggies. Those veggies are right grown in their homes, and we could eat noodle with the raw vegetables. This is an entirely new experience for us. In Malaysia, we don’t have the habit of eating raw veggies. Furthermore, it is different from Western salad raw vegetables. Although I don’t like one of the Vietnamese vegetables, the combination of raw veggies makes the cuisine so good!
The following days, every meal on the trip has fresh vegetables. If there are no raw veggies, we would ask if there will be provided. The few days of travel in Vietnam turned two Malaysians who don’t like to eat veggies to eating a lot of veggies and even asked for it. It is amazing.
Other than that, we will usually gain weight on the road. But this time, we felt our body get lighter and even made my morning bathroom routine smoother.
An unknown Vietnamese food but taste fresh and great too!
You may hear some Vietnam food safety issues especially the raw vegetables. Although Vietnamese food is about freshness, vegetables in Vietnam are full of insecticide and rarely clean well due to the lack of time. You can first observe the process of preparing the food and then decide whether to eat. Some people refuse to eat raw vegetables or street foods because they fear to get sick. Of course, no one wants to try to stay in a foreign hospital and pay extra spending. If you are worrying, better don’t try street foods. I knew that could not try street foods is a kind of fly in the ointment. You can save your wallet unless you want to take risks. But why are we not afraid and never doubt eating? I think maybe we are Malaysians, a country in Asia. When I was young, my mother would tell us that “eating dirty and still growing up.” It’s not that we grew up in a dirty environment or eating dirty food. It means that as long as it is edible, we don’t have to care too much about hygiene. Conversely, you eat too clean, if you eat a little dirty food, you are more likely to get sick. Whether you believe in it or not, I feel that my stomach is really strong and can eat street food from Southeast Asian countries like Thailand and Indonesia. Apart from that, it is also important to pay attention to the hygiene of street food stalls. We are not eating any street foods especially raw meat. For example, the street booth without umbrellas flies on top of the foods, bowls, and plates are dirty, etc.
Trying to understand local food preparation or food safety issues to protect yourself from illness is something that every traveler must know in advance and pay attention to.
In general, if you really afraid of having problems with your stomach, you should go to big restaurants or trusted restaurant from reading online comments. It is always important to prepare some of your medicines in case you really want to try an appetizing street food?

If you have been working with brides very long you have undoubtedly been frustrated with brides that don’t show up to scheduled consultations or brides that are only price shopping. Either situation could make feel like you should be charging at least a nominal amount for consultations. Here are some pros and cons of charging for consultations.
Brides are more likely to show up.
Even if you call to confirm and send text or email reminders sometimes brides get busy, forget or simply just aren’t ready to meet and fail to show up to a scheduled appointment if they have no skin in the game.
It’s a way to qualify your leads.
If a bride is willing to put up $25, $50 or $100 (or a per hour fee) they are a much better lead than the bride who may not be ready to book for whatever reason.
Charging a consultation fee will nearly eliminate all the price shoppers. Unless the budget bride is your specialty then that’s something we can all celebrate.
You may schedule less consultations.
If a bride is not familiar with your work they may be hesitant to give you money upfront and refuse to schedule a consultation.
Local market may not support it.
Unless it’s common in your area, the simple suggestion of charging for a consultation might turn away brides.
Time is precious and anything you can do to eliminate time wasters is worth consideration. Charging a consultation fee will not work for every florist but if it can work for your business then go for it!
Networking with other wedding vendors is undoubtedly the most cost effective way build a constant referral source. Check for local wedding networking groups and find one that aligns with your business. Consistently attend the events with the goal in mind of helping others and learning about their business. Meetup for coffee or lunch with vendors that you would like to work with again with the goal in mind of helping them. Ask them about their preferred style, ideal client, new projects they are working on, and goals or challenges they are facing in their business.
I can’t emphasize how important it is to listen to your brides and what they want for their wedding. Their wedding day is about them. Listen and ask questions about their preferences and challenges. If they request baby’s breath and carnations in a mason jar don’t provide a quote with hydrangeas and roses because that’s what you prefer.
Hopefully at this point you have networked some and worked on enough weddings that you know a decent amount about your local wedding industry and have a good sense of style. If your bride is hesitant about something give her your advice and tell her why. Also, ask your brides what else they have left to do. This is a great way refer other vendors that you think would be a good fit.
Remember brides always have other options – they could choose a different florist, recruit a friend or family member or DIY their wedding flowers. Send hand-written thank you notes to your brides after your first consultation. Let them know you like their style or flowers they have selected and would love the opportunity to work with them. Let them know you are here to help if they have any questions.
Not charging your worth or discounting your price is a sure way to devalue yourself and your work. Not only are you leaving money on the table but this will never attract the type of clients you want to work with. If you don’t value your work don’t expect your brides to value it either.
Return calls or emails within an hour if at all possible or at least within 24 hours. If this is the first time a bride has contacted you, it’s entirely possible that she contacted other florists as well. Get ahead of your competition from the start by responding quickly. After you have met with a bride it is still very important to respond quickly – make her feel important.
Your options for purchasing flowers and supplies are endless. You don’t have to rely on your local wholesaler. There are plenty of growers, wholesalers and suppliers that ship fresh flowers or supplies. Price check and try lower cost options. You might be surprised to find that some lower cost wholesalers and suppliers offer better quality than what you are able to purchase locally.
Provide complimentary mockups of centerpieces when your bride purchases a specified number of centerpieces. Most people don’t know much about flowers (Nor should they!) and they can’t envision arrangements. Provide a mockup so they can see it and possibly make changes. This also gives you an opportunity to troubleshoot before the week of the wedding.
I know you may be thinking this is a no-brainer but the lack of attention to detail that I see from some florists amazes me. Make sure your mechanics are covered, check for damaged blooms and greenery and fill in the holes. Don’t send out work that you aren’t proud of just for the sake of getting it done quickly. Your brides may not complain but their guests will definitely notice the sloppy work. It’s important to realize that there is always room for improvement and you can always do better quality work. If your budget and time allow, attend design workshops to improve your skills. If that’s not an option there are plenty of great books and resources online.
Brides don’t want to have to wait two weeks for a proposal and they shouldn’t have to. You are losing brides if you don’t provide quotes before they ever walk out the door. By using an application like sockoflorist.com you are able to provide detailed quotes at the end of your first consultation.
What have you done to be more successful as a wedding florist? Comment below and let us know!

The Church's interest in the Internet is a particular expression of her longstanding interest in the media of social communication. Seeing the media as an outcome of the historical scientific process by which humankind "advances further and further in the discovery of the resources and values contained in the whole of creation", the Church often has declared her conviction that they are, in the words of the Second Vatican Council, "marvellous technical inventions" that already do much to meet human needs and may yet do even more.
"Today's revolution in social communications involves a fundamental reshaping of the elements by which people comprehend the world about them, and verify and express what they comprehend. The constant availability of images and ideas, and their rapid transmission even from continent to continent, have profound consequences, both positive and negative, for the psychological, moral and social development of persons, the structure and functioning of societies, intercultural communications, and the perception and transmission of values, world views, ideologies, and religious beliefs".

One dredger purchased Vinnitsa City Council, for work within the city. The second dredger will be used throughout the Vinnitsa region.
Both dredgers have a capacity of 400 meters per hour by pulp and can work at a depth of up to 8 m. The dredger is equipped with a cutter ripper and a jet ripper, which allows working with different soil types and bottom sediments. The delivery set also included pipelines, anchors, and other auxiliary elements.
The production and delivery of dredgers was carried out according to the conditions of the tender, which was previously won by our enterprise. The total production time of each dredger was 2.5 months.
On January 3, First Deputy Chairman of the Regional State Administration Andrei Gizhko, Director of the Department of Finance of the State Administration of Ukraine Nikolay Kopachevsky and Director of the Department of Agro-Industrial Development, Environment and Natural Resources of the Regional State Administration Mykola Tkachuk visited the Regional Investment and Construction Assistance Fund and inspected the dredger that was purchased for the needs of the region.
"In connection with climate change, the problem of drinking water and water for irrigation of farmland in recent years in the region is quite acute," Andrei Gizhko comments. - There are 5,000 water bodies in the Vinnytsia region, as well as the Southern Bug and the Dniester rivers with their tributaries. Specialists-environmentalists assure that clearing the sources feeding these water bodies will lead to an increase in the water level. We will also solve environmental problems and increase the fertility of soils. "
The official stressed that the technique, which was previously used for cleaning reservoirs, has already exhausted its resource and can not be operated, so the question arose about the need to purchase new equipment.

Pretty much wait for it to run into the ground then RMA it since it's way inside WD's warranty.
Seagate has never failed me. Before my 1TB I had a Seagate HDD which lasted me for 5 years, and has been passed over to my dad now and it still works fine. I would trust no other HDD manufacturer.
I got an eHDD WD 1TB last year, and it's working fine. I basically use it as my main HDD, because I only have a 40GB built into my desktop computer.
To add further insult to injury, my server is running critically low on space so I have to buy yet another HDD so that I may continue to my server's growth of data.
My bad sector count has trippled after yesterday's check. This is not good.
Haha...it died today. Good thing live linux exists.

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – August 4, 2014 – St. Joseph Hoag Health and CHOC Children’s announced this morning that they will form an accountable care organization (ACO), bringing together outstanding health care providers throughout Orange County. With this announcement, CHOC and St. Joseph Hoag Health will ensure integrated health care delivery, serving all generations of Orange County residents with a full range of coordinated health care services.
In forming an ACO, St. Joseph Hoag Health and CHOC share in the financial and medical responsibility for managing and providing care to patients. The goals are to improve quality of patient care, enhance the patient experience and create efficiencies through collectively attending to patients’ needs and avoiding unnecessary treatments.
The St. Joseph Hoag Health ACO includes eight hospitals (including CHOC Children’s in Orange and CHOC Children’s at Mission) and nine medical groups and affiliated physician networks, along with numerous urgent care centers, clinics and other outpatient services across Orange County. CHOC will remain independent and, to ensure continued access for those needing care, will continue to care for children outside the St. Joseph Hoag Health network.
“We will provide comprehensive pediatric health care across the continuum,” says Dr. Connie Bartlett, vice president of St. Jude and St. Joseph Heritage Medical Group and a practicing pediatrician. “While an accountable care organization traditionally focuses on those with HMO insurance, we see this new partnership as an opportunity to clinically integrate and deliver better care for all our patients. We want our young patients to receive the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and working toward excellent outcomes. Ultimately, all families in our care will know they have an outstanding team of doctors and nurses behind them."
St. Joseph Hoag Health is an historic alliance for Orange County, laying the foundation for sweeping changes in the delivery and accessibility of high quality health care. Combined, St. Joseph Hoag Health has earned some of the highest honors for medical care, including Magnet designation for its hospitals (the highest honor bestowed to hospitals for nursing excellence), “best of” listings in US News & World Report and Best of Orange County (Orange County Register) status. Drawing upon the strengths of two renowned health care organizations, St. Joseph Hoag Health focuses on meeting the big challenges of health care today, including expanding access, improving wellness and preventive services, ensuring quality and developing more efficient methods in the delivery of care. The new network includes six flagship hospitals (Hoag Newport Beach, Hoag Irvine, Mission Hospital Mission Viejo, Mission Hospital Laguna Beach, St. Joseph Hospital Orange and St. Jude Medical Center), eight medical groups and physician networks (Hoag Affiliated Physicians, Hoag Medical Group, Mission Heritage Medical Group, Mission Hospital Affiliated Physicians, St. Joseph Hospital Affiliated Physicians, St. Joseph Heritage Medical Group, St. Jude Affiliated Physicians and St. Jude Heritage Medical Group) and numerous outpatient and urgent care facilities in Orange County.
Named one of the best children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report (2014-2015) and a 2013 Leapfrog Top Hospital for the highest quality care, Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC Children's) is exclusively committed to the health and well-being of children through clinical expertise, advocacy, outreach, education and research that brings advanced treatment to pediatric patients. CHOC’s regional health care network includes two state-of-the-art hospitals in Orange and Mission Viejo, many primary and specialty care clinics, a pediatric residency program with the UC Irvine School of Medicine, and four clinical centers of excellence -the CHOC Children’s Heart, Neuroscience, Orthopaedic and Hyundai Cancer Institutes. CHOC earned the Gold Level CAPE Award from the California Council of Excellence, the only children’s hospital in California to ever earn this distinction, and was awarded Magnet designation, the highest honor bestowed to hospitals for nursing excellence. Recognized for extraordinary commitment to high-quality critical care standards, CHOC’s Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is the first in the United States to earn the Beacon Award for Pediatric Critical Care Excellence.

The actress Megan Fox is known for her amazing body of work. Just kidding! It's her amazing body and beautiful face that Fox is known for. Michael Bay--the most powerful big-budget director in Hollywood where everything he touches turns into gold--transformed her from an obscure actress into the biggest commodity in Hollywood when he cast Fox in the first Transformers movie, and she became an instant star.
But Fox is outspoken with a rebellious streak. Such qualities caused her to publically embarrass Bay. She told EW that Transformers and all Bay films are just about special effects: "People are well aware that [these movies] are not about acting." But what brought her down was what she said about Bay, "He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is." It was also insulting for Fox when Steven Spielberg chimed in and said, "Fire her right away."
After that, her film career hit a snag. Back-to-back failures suggested that she could neither carry a movie nor open one on her own. So, when was the last time you saw Megan Fox in a movie? Thought so. She had a comeback starring in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, but those don't rely on her acting. To this day, she's been typecast as the beautiful girl next door, and if Fox doesn't land a role soon that doesn't rely on her looks but rather showcases her acting chops, she's going to become irrelevant. So here are 15 reasons why Hollywood is not obsessed with Fox anymore, no matter how pretty she is.
When Michael Bay cast Megan Fox in the first Transformer movie, she was literally unknown and was just beginning to start her career. She got her first big break in Bad Boys II and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and she followed those movies by starring in the mega-monster hit Transformers.
In just one movie, Fox became so famous that she had to turn down movie roles. Everybody noticed how beautiful she was, and so did Michael Bay, who infamously shot Fox from behind while leaning over to fix a car and wearing cut-off denim shorts that left nothing to the imagination. Fox clung to Bay during and after the movie and, at one point, they were friends. That he gave her the big break meant the world to her until she rebelled.
Bay, a man of power in Hollywood who makes action movies, was furious. No one talks to Bay like that. And so Bay fired her from the Transformer series. But the worst thing was when Stephen Spielberg chimed in and said, "Fire her right away." Was Fox too young that she didn't know how to filter what she said? But no one since her comment had anything bad to say about Bay. Was it because they didn't want to shake the boat? We think Fox is at fault, as several media outlets confirmed and corroborated the story.
It took Fox a lot of mojo to say these things in public. She's biting the hand that feeds. But she's also being a feminist, articulating that women have always been mere objects, someone who is pretty to look at and can be cast into a mold in a way a studio executive likes. She's strong and opinionated for sure, but studio execs didn't know what to do with her after such comments.
Fox was attached to Transformers: Dark of the Moon and was part of the rehearsal process early on. However, many execs and Bay noticed how little she cared about this sequel. She looked disinterested and it was still fresh in Bay's head how Fox betrayed her. Bay recalled, "Megan was in a different world, on her BlackBerry. You gotta stay focused. And you know, the Hitler thing. Steven [Spielberg] said, 'Fire her right now.'"
Her disinterest and comments to Bay is what got her canned from Transformers. So Bay found another actress who would play a new love interest for Shia LaBeouf. Of course, he hired someone gave off the same vibe that she did;Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who just happened to be a Victoria's Secret model. Several sources claimed that Fox's absence from the film was because Bay chose not to renew her role because of her injurious comments. But according to Fox, she said that "it was her decision to leave the film franchise."
According to deadline, Crew members of several movies who worked with Fox came out to defend Bay and belittle Fox. The crew didn't feel that it was difficult to work with Bay; they instead declared that Fox was the difficult one. In fact, since the story was corroborated by different crew members, it seemed to be true. Crews called her a grump. In fact, crew members from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, accused Fox of not paying an interest in them, as if she was a snob. They also said she never smiled. When you're on a movie crew, you want everybody to get along, from the key grip to the actor. You're all working for the same goal.
In fact, because they are working long hours each day for months, they tend to bond with each other. The Revenge set was supposed to be fun, and it was for some, but the fact that Fox alienated herself from the crew and treated them like dirt meant that she was already becoming a diva. Who would want to work with her?
After Revenge of the Fallen, Fox followed up that role with the horror comedy Jennifer's Body. We don't exactly know went wrong with the movie, as it had an impressive pedigree. Diablo Cody, who was in Juno, wrote the film and Karyn Kusama was the director of the movie Girlfight. So, while all the talent pointed out that the movie would be a hit, it was surprising that it completely bombed.
The movie was on a very low budget, so it didn't really need to make a lot of money to cover its cost. But the fact that it earned only a mere $6.8 million, according to IMBD, on its opening weekend, and the fact that the movie got the worst reviews in cinematic history, suggested that Fox couldn't open a movie on her own. The movie was intended to take advantage of Fox's star power to gain success, so all publicity about the film relied on her. While Fox isn't totally to blame for the film's failure, its lack of interest revealed that Fox wasn't yet ready for the fame that Michael Bay brought her.
In Jonah Hex, no one can deny that she looked amazing. Her outfits in the movie are modest and the only thing bare is her thighs. She is one of the few good things about that film.
Jonah Hex was a huge box office failure. According to Box Office Mojo, the film budget was $47 million and, in its first-weekend release, the movie grossed only about $5 million from its 2,825 screens. Like in Jennifer's Body, the movie counted on Fox's fame to gain interest. She was part of all the promotional materials. Unfortunately, because Jennifer's Body and Jonah Hex were released back-to-back, and because both movies bombed in a big way, meant that Hollywood couldn't count on her.
The fact that Megan Fox had back-to-back failures suggested that she may not work again if she followed up Hex with another bomb. Like Body, it was hard to see what went wrong. John Brolin starred, and there was a healthy budget to make a successful film. Critics, overall, declared that Hex was a triumphant disaster, and should've never been green lit.
On its debut weekend, Jonah Hex opened at #7 with only around five million despite the fact that it appeared in 2,825 theaters. Overall, Hex grossed around ten million. But that didn't stop Hex from picking up some awards. The Houston Film Critics Society named Hex the worst picture of the year. The Golden Raspberry Awards, also known as the "razzie" and which is a mock award in recognition of the worst in film, nominated Fox twice. She was the Worst Actress for both Jennifer's Body and Jonah Hex.
Despite her dwindling career, Fox remained the best looking actress in Hollywood. But because she's been typecast as nothing more than a pretty face, which critics agreed upon, she has not really been given the perfect role to show off her talent. Even when Fox took on a small movie, the Ed Burns comedy Friends With Kids, her beauty is what reviewers focused on. Take Passion Play, for example.
The New York Times review pointed out what was obvious, saying " Fox’s nonluminous Lily [her character's name] remains a standard male fantasy of a damsel in distress until the inevitable “Wind Beneath My Wings” moment lofts the movie into a never-never land of hokey sentimentality." Yikes! Since most of her films inevitably lead to Razzie nominations, Fox hasn't garnered many opportunities to flex her acting ability. She has no substance, just good looks. If no one hires her for a meaty, serious movie, how would we ever know she’s actually a good actress?
In spite of her failures, Megan Fox became overexposed precisely because of them. She had too many appearances on talk shows. No one would shut up about her. So then the backlash kicked in. Many of her fans, who were mostly men, and several men’s websites like AskMen.com, got so tired of her that they planned a day to boycott Fox. It was just a day, but it was severely demeaning to Fox, as the boycott called for a “Day Without Megan Fox,” where Fox was banned from the internet and nothing was written about her.
The day, on August 4, 2009, wasn’t intended to harm Fox, but it did. How would you feel if your very being was called for a boycott?
To date, Fox’s only successes were the Transformers and Teenage Ninja movies. She did follow those roles with a few movies and television shows. But all the movies bombed. The most insulting comment about her that all critics unanimously agreed on was that Fox should retreat from the spotlight, as she was overexposed in the wrong way. Here she was, there she is, and why do we care?
Megan Fox married the actor Brian Austin Green, who starred in the teen drama, Beverly Hills 90210, in the 90s. He basically did nothing notable after the show ended. So while some critics have been harsh on Fox, others have defended her, saying she was forced to become a mom when she was not yet ready. She became a stepmom at 18, and by 30, she became the mother to three children.
According to several sources, being married with children took a toll on her. But Green may have played a part in Fox’s demise from Hollywood. He wanted Fox to concentrate on their family and give up acting. As an insider put it, “Megan is young and good looking and sought after for work, and she is eager to move ahead in her career. . .[But] Brian wants more of her time than she can allow. She was overwhelmed with the children and her husband's expectations, which got in the way of work responsibilities."
Everyone knew that Green could not find work while married to Fox. She became a mother but she also became the one who brought home the bacon. Pressured to find work and motivated by their financial troubles, Fox raised the white flag and fixed things with Michael Bay, who in turn was nice enough to cast her in a new movie.
In 2015, Fox and Green separated and told the media that they planned on getting divorced. But they never did, because in April 2016, an unplanned pregnancy brought the two together. And then Fox called off the divorce. A source stated to the Independent, "Brian always hoped Megan would change her mind about the divorce and he is very happy that she did." Well, this may be Fox’s real life. She had to fix things with Bay to find work. She had to give up her convictions. She had to live with someone who acted like a dictator who singlehandedly turned back the clock on feminism. It’s neither the time nor the period for a husband to ask of his wife if she can give up her career to take care of their family life. What decade is he living in?
While on the Ellen DeGeneres show, Megan Fox finally put the rumors to rest. She admitted that her pregnancies “affected her ability to do her job as her fans wished.” Critics, this time backing her, said that Green was partly responsible for “his wife’s lack of lasting success in the industry.” While she told Ellen that none of her pregnancies were planned, she refrained from blaming Green. But it was obvious.
Green should’ve planned each stage of all her pregnancies. You have the obligation to if it affects your work. In fact, in 2014, while filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fox was pregnant, which made it hard for her to be on the set. And since this was an action movie, Fox did her best to do the simplest stunts like running or jumping. You can’t be doing stunts while you are pregnant! Was this all so that Green could have a cushy lifestyle while his own wife was being trotted out like cattle?
Megan Fox once declared that she was both stubborn and a rebel. Did those qualities have anything to do, in part, to her lack of success in finding work? Would a director who knew she was stubborn hire her? They would think twice, as she could wreak havoc on the set. Even bragging that she’s a rebel doesn’t help her.
As she told Cosmopolitan, “I was raised in a really religious family that was conservative and did not allow me any sort of freedom to express myself, and I was always very rebellious and fought against that." You can clearly tell how stubborn she is when she stated, “As soon as you tell me to do one thing, I do the opposite. As soon as someone tells me not to get any more tattoos, I have this intense fire burning inside me to cover myself with them. I don't care if it's self-destructive. I just have that need to rebel."
That’s definitely not what a director wants to see. She sounds like an overprivileged brat, as well as a diva. She’s so stubborn that she says she may give up acting altogether if someone directed her in a way she didn’t like or want. She’s so nonchalant about her prospects in the industry. In a time where she needs to do a lot of damage control, she has been known for saying, "If I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I'll quit Hollywood and go work at Costco." What about if she lost a role because she has alienated the entire Hollywood community, calling them morally bankrupt? Oh, poor Fox, you do not know how to play the Hollywood game: zip your lip and nail down that role. That's it.

As Amazon continues its rise as the world’s largest online marketplace, rival eBay charges that it got there by crossing a legal line.
Amazon declined to comment on the lawsuit.
eBay monitors the messaging system for unauthorized use and said that messages sent by a “large number” of Amazon representatives indicated that they were attempting to avoid detection.
Although the campaign had been underway for years, eBay said it only found out about Amazon’s activities a few weeks ago when an eBay seller notified company representatives. At that time, eBay sent Amazon a cease-and-desist letter.
Both companies have declined to disclose the total number of sellers who transact on their platforms. But eBay, which was founded one year after Amazon and battled the company for dominance in the early years of e-commerce, is now smaller by far. Its net revenues were $2.6 billion last quarter, compared to Amazon’s $52.9 billion.
Amazon has become the destination of choice for internet merchants because of its enormous audience, and because of its plug-and-play fulfillment system that makes delivering orders easy for sellers. Nearly half of US online retail sales move across its platform, according to eMarketer.
Third-party sellers — who set prices for their own products, rather than selling to Amazon wholesale — now account for more than half the units sold on the site.
eBay emphasized in the complaint that it is a “pure open marketplace” that doesn’t compete against its own sellers, as Amazon does with its private-label brands.
The plaintiff asked for damages to be determined by a jury trial.

Trains sit at the south end of the yard in Powerton, Ill., near the power plant. Powerton's coal plant was the second biggest greenhouse gas emitter in Illinois, according to EPA data.
A CWEX coal train, left, stretches into the distance near the La Fox Metra station in Kane County.
It’s something environmental groups and climate hawks have increased calls for since the President won reelection in a race that, it should be noted, avoided explicit mention of the issue for the first time since 1988. It’s also likely to further polarize Republican lawmakers and carbon-intensive industries, who will probably mount legal challenges.
Electricity generation accounts for roughly a third of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. So if Obama wants to circumvent the currently deadlocked legislative path to reining in carbon dioxide emissions, tackling existing power plants is a good place to start.
As for the Chicago region’s biggest emitters, Chicagoist's Josh Mogerman has a good round-up here.
In the absence of comprehensive climate legislation, environmentalists have made their most visible cause stopping the Keystone XL pipeline — an issue that has split the President's own policy group, Organizing for Action. Next month’s expected action could help mend the rift, or widen it further.

Last month I was flown up to Minnesota to photograph Susan & Mike's wedding at St. Olaf college. I got to attend and snap some shots at their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and then photograph the actual wedding the following day. It was a lovely ceremony and my best wishes go to the bride and groom!
Wonderful stuff! I especially like the shot of the bride with the brick background! Nice focus on her with the post production!

For many horror fans my age, once we finished with R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike's brand of spooky mysticism, we naturally graduated to the grand daddy of them all: Stephen King. As a new King stalwart though I was initially unaware of his carefully woven, interconnected universe outside of the reappearing character of Randall Flag (Or Walter O'Dim, The Walking Dude, or any number of the laundry list of names). Of course, as I grew older and read more of King's work I became aware of the reoccurring themes and locations like Jerusalems Lot, Derry, and of course: Castle Rock. And now for the first time ever, Hulu is taking a chance and expanding on Kings established multiverse with a brand new tale set within Castle Rock's city limits, and they just dropped a new trailer for it!
Now we don't have much to go off of here, so the trailer doesn't illuminate the larger story that we are sure to see in Castle Rock but it does give us a taste of what may be going on. The show is set to follow Andre Holland (Moonlight), who has been called by an unknown person to Castle Rock after the suspicious suicide of an inmate at Shawshank State Penitentiary. Clearly though, waaaaay more spooky stuff is going on because Castle Rock clearly digs on masks. (Check out the spoopy gathering of masked kiddos around :15, and another with a hammer around :21). Also heavily featured is Melanie Lynskey (Heavenly Creatures), Sissy Spacek (Carrie), Bill Skarsgard (IT), and Terry O'Quinn (The Stepfather, Lost).
While we don't have an exact date just yet, the release date is looming looking towards a summer release. Let the Return of The King continue!

The Reverie Saigon is a study in unapologetic splendour. A member of Leading Hotels of the World, The Reverie Saigon is one of the most spectacular hotels to open in Asia in recent years and is raising the bar for luxury hospitality in Vietnam.
The ultra-luxurious property is home to 286 opulent rooms and 89 extended stay apartments. Designed by 20 renowned Italian interior design houses, it is a hotel that could belong in a museum. It goes without saying that the service is impeccable, from the second you are collected from the airport – in a Mercedes, Rolls-Royce Phantom Dragon or Maybach – to the moment your bags are unpacked by Butlers trained by the British Butler School.

One of the best places we visited while in Ireland was Ashford Castle. (I’m realizing as I’m writing every one of these posts I keep saying that… I really loved all the places and couldn’t possibly start to pick favorites!) I think we got especially lucky with the weather for a day of exploring the grounds of the castle.
We left the Cliffs of Moher, did some shopping in Galway, and then made our way to Ashford Castle. It was so warm and summery. I couldn’t believe the grounds, gardens, and greenery.
We rented bikes for getting around the property and it was the best decision. There is so much ground to cover and the bikes made it a breeze.
Once I realized it was going to be really warm for a lot of the trip, I tossed this dress in just in case. It’s one of my favorite dresses this summer and I wear it (at least) once a week. I mean really, can you believe our luck with the weather?!
After our afternoon of exploration (there was not enough time to see it all!), we ended up having the loveliest dinner outside. As the sun set, I slipped into a sweater, but overall it was the nicest and most relaxing night outside.
You look so pretty in all of these pictures! As for horseback riding, the worst part is summing up the gumption to get on the horse; after that, it becomes a wonderful experience!
Love love love the dress! It's perfect for summer!
Absolutely love your first look here! Beautiful photos, looks like you had an amazing day!
I love Ireland. haven't been yet but I'm living vicariously through your pics. Thanks so much for sharing.

This photo provided by Rogue River Police Department shows marijuana plants inside a portable toilet. Police in the southern Oregon community said a man walking through a park discovered a portable toilet filled with marijuana plants. The agency posted a photo on social media Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016, saying it's the largest seizure of pot the department has ever made. Marijuana grows are common in southern Oregon, which has some of the nation's best conditions for outdoor cultivation.
ROGUE RIVER -- Rogue River police say a man walking through a park discovered a portable toilet filled with marijuana plants.
The agency posted a photo on social media Wednesday, saying it's the largest seizure of pot the department has ever made.
Marijuana grows are common in southern Oregon, which has some of the nation's best conditions for outdoor cultivation.
Chief Ken Lewis on Thursday said police still don't know how the pot got there. He said it could be anything from a pick-up point to a disgruntled resident making a statement about all the marijuana grows.

I performed the clinical trials that led to the FDA approval of Kybella, so I’ve been using it for almost three years—and I am so excited to offer this treatment to my patients who are bothered by a double chin. When combined with other injectables, lasers and skin-tightening treatments for the face, Kybella helps us target an area we once couldn’t for more comprehensive results—and a sleeker, more youthful profile.
Kythera, the company behind Kybella, hasn’t announced its pricing or when it will be in doctors’ offices, but I’m confident it will be available by the end of the year. Stay tuned for updates!

The Matarese dynasty first encountered in The Matarese Circle is back in all its questionable glory and evil. And the one man with enough knowledge to stop it, CIA case officer Cameron Pryce may not have enough time. The Matarese countdown has begun and Pryce's only chance to cut it off is to follow the trail of blood-money and stone-cold killers to the heart of this deadly conspiracy.
Matarese assassins have already struck with brutal efficiency, eliminating all who stand in their way. But on Spain's Costa del Sol, one victim survived long enough to breathe these dying words: 'Find Beowulf Agate' - words that reverberate all the way to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Beowulf Agate is the codename for legendary retired agent Brandon Scofield, the only man ever to penetrate the Matarese and survive.
Now Cameron has to draw Scofield and his wife Antonia out of their Caribbean paradise hideaway and back to a place of evil they thought they'd never have to go again. Back to the Matarese circle of death. From the oilfields of the Persian Gulf to the boardrooms of Manhattan, from the hills of Corsica to the halls of power in Washington, the circle is closing, the noose is tightening, the panic is spreading. And Pryce has made a chilling discovery: the MAtarese have broken new ground - deep inside the CIA.
Condition : Very good condition. No writings or page foldingson the book.

Fukrey’s Bholi – Choocha are back! Richa Chadha and Varun Sharma come together but it is not for a film!
Do you remember the unconventional villain Bholi Punjaban and her not-so-conventional chemistry with Choocha? Well, you are a certified Fukrey fan if you remember these details. And for all the fans of this comic caper, if you are expecting this to be related to the third instalment of Fukrey, then sorry to disappoint you guys but this one is about music. To be more specific, this one is about Richa Chadha and Varun Sharma featuring in a music video.
We hear that Richa Chadha and Varun Sharma have kicked off the shoot for a music video for Dr Zeus and Zora Randhawa. In fact, all the four of them are shooting for it in Navi Mumbai currently for the said video of the song ‘Gwandian Da Dhol’. The song will be a part of the album Global Injection which is by Dr Zeus.
We got glimpses of the filming of the song on Instagram. The official page of the music label Being U Music shared a glimpse of the shoot of the music video on their Instagram wherein we have Richa, Varun, Zeus and Zora sharing a rather cute pose. On the other hand, Varun Sharma too posted a picture with his Bholi Punjaban aka Richa Chadha on his Instagram page saying that an announcement is coming soon. However, he refrained from sharing any details.
Speaking of their films, Varun Sharma will next be seen in Fry Day alongside Govinda. He also reunited with his Dilwale co-star Kriti Sanon recently for Dinesh Vijan’s production Arjun Patiala starring Diljit Dosanjh.
On the other hand, Richa Chadha has dived into the prep for the Shakeela biopic. Recent reports have it that the actress will even be taking Malayalam lessons to perfect the language for her next.

Mark reached the 100th episode this week. He talked about a number of games. Of them, Numeri was quite interesting to me. I need to look into it more. From the description it sounded like one I would like. If you have played it please post your thoughts.
He talked about one from Gamewright, one of my family’s favorite publishers. This was Polar Derby. It is a very light push your luck game designed by Reiner Knizia. It sounds like one my kids would like. Mark also mentioned that Dr. Knizia designed Star Wars: Attack of the Clones card game. We need to get this. My son is hyper into Star Wars right now and I know he would like this one.

Born in New Hampshire, Tennessee raised and living in Minneapolis, singer Chastity Brown cites influences of Dolly Parton and Mavis Staples.
Her music has also been shaped by genetics; her father was an African-American jazz/blues musician and her mother grew up in a large Irish family in Boston.
She describes her music as ‘Americana soul’ and there are aspects of gospel, roots, soul, jazz, blues and country in the mix, but also a hint of Celtic.
How much will be demonstrated when the highly-acclaimed singer songwriter plays at the award-winning Hebridean Celtic Festival’s 20th anniversary in Stornoway next month.
She is increasingly learning more about Celtic music, having been profoundly affected by Van Morrison’s ‘Astral Weeks’ as a teenager and being introduced to Irish folk music through Sinead O’Connor.
“About 15 years ago, I heard a traditional song that she performed with The Chieftains and was mesmerized by the weaving of the story.
“It set me on my path to devour whatever Irish folk ballads I could find.
Audiences here caught on to Chastity’s music and added to her ever-expanding fanbase after her fourth album, ‘Back-Road Highways’ was the first to be given an official UK release and the following year she made an appearance on the Later With Jools Holland TV show.
So, does she feel she is now where she thought she would be, say five years ago?
Chastity’s appearance at HebCelt will bring her to a new audience and it’s something she is relishing: “Playing festivals is a great opportunity to play for a larger audience.
“In addition, it’s a chance to develop friendships with musical peers that are doing the same thing as you...writing songs and traveling around to play them for people.
The Hebridean audience will hear songs from her back catalogue and possibly those from a forthcoming album, due out in the autumn, and for which she has been writing over the last 18 months.
Inspiration for her writing tends to come from many directions; a new book, the first days of spring, the birth of a child or even a man shouting in the street.
“Ideas for songs come to me wherever I am. There is no particular formula for me. I wish that there were.
“I write every day. Some songs never make it past one round of singing, while some I may sing over and over at home but never feel they are strong enough to let ‘em out of the house.

The site for the new events center has not been selected. The process is under way to locate a site and vision plan for the area around the center, determining the size and design of the new center and its projected costs. The chosen location will establish an economic anchor creating vigor in the area of development. The vision is to create a high performing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified Building. The building of this center will employ thousands of Missoulians before, during and after construction.
The new events center funding will be determined after the Phase I. Currently the project is under Phase II. All phases of work are outlined below.
The MEC Steering Committee (The MEC) is proud to report that Phase I of the Feasibility Study for an Events Center in Missoula has been completed. Rob Hunden (Hunden Strategic Partners) came to Missoula on September 28th, 2009 and presented to a group of 75 business leaders; including our County Commissions and members of the City Council. At the conclusion of the presentation Hunden Strategic Partners strongly recommended that Missoula build an events center based on their findings. MEC Chairman John Riley at the conclusion of the presentation asked those in attendance; “Based on what your heard today would you like to see us complete the entire study by funding Phase II of this project”? The crowd erupted into applause demonstrating support for the project. When the attendees were asked if they were against the idea, indeed there were several seconds of silence, which was only broken by a City Council person carefully stating that he would need to see what the traffic impact would be, and that was his one concern.
The MEC Steering Committee met and voted to continue with Phase II. The funds have been secured to complete this process. “This now becomes a community project; we need everyone interested in seeing this come to fruition to get involved!” Please find links on the home page http://missoulaeventscenter.com/ about the Phase I power point and executive summary.

Doing crafts is one of my favorite things about parenting. Not only is it fun to help my child create, but it is educational, too. There are so many different creations that require different supplies, but there are some routine things you should keep on hand. These craft kit essentials are necessary for the majority of projects you and your kids will be doing.
You are going to have a lot of supplies, which means you need something to put them in. There is nothing more time-consuming and frustrating then trying to gather up supplies that are strewn about or are in different areas of your home. I use a big plastic bin with a lid to keep all of our craft kit essentials in. Rubbermaid has several different styles and sizes of these types of bins. I used to use a cardboard box, but it quickly fell apart.
Having different types of paper is important if you want to do different projects. I have construction paper, recycled copy paper, graph paper, tracing paper and even artists paper.
Paper is going to do you little good if you have nothing to write or draw with. Make sure you have pencils, pens, markers, colored pencils and crayons. In addition to those, I also have oil pastels, which are a lot of fun to use. Also consider purchasing some paint. Watercolor is perfectly fine for young children, but if your kids are a little older, think about adding some oil or acrylic paints, too. Don’t forget the paintbrushes!
Different types of adhesives should also be in your craft kit. A glue stick, school glue and superglue are good things to have on hand. Also make sure you have some tape and a stapler.
The other craft kit essentials that I have are pipe cleaners, googly eyes, pom poms, a few empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls, yarn, scissors and a hole puncher. Instead of buying stickers, which can get pricey, I go to the Dollar Store and buy the packages of colored price stickers.
Something else that I have in our craft kit are items around the house. Extra fabric, pieces from a broken necklace, tissue paper from gifts and even sections of a cardboard box are all things we make crafts out of regularly.
There are so many crafts that my kids and I like to do, but if we have the above supplies on hand, we can create so many different things on a moments notice.
What are your kids craft kit essentials?
I am convinced that my 5 year old son does not want store bought craft supplies, but would really prefer it if I kept al of my recyclables for his own personal use. He makes boats, rockets, bats, you name it, all from my random recyclables.
That is definitely a great way to save money and reuse what you already have! My son loves making stuff out of cardboard boxes.
I like the idea of a big craft jar. I have a big storage cabinet where I keep all our crafts but I am bursting out of the seams!
I love this! We have all of these things and more in our Art Cart. It has wheels so it can be wheeled to the kitchen table for the kids to use and then put back when not using it.
wish i had this list when my kids were younger. it would have come in handy for sure.
Jordyn @ Almost Supermom recently posted..Check out our article in the first ever Homeschool.com magazine!
One of our craft essentials is an organizer that hangs on the back of a door. I keep the craft supplies the kids can have access to at the bottom and put the rest at the top!
i would love the setup in the first picture. i need something just like that in my craft room!

Did you change bargaining units?
There are several ways an employee might change bargaining units: promotion, demotion, class/comp study or collective bargaining. An employee who changes from one bargaining unit to another may be required to change medical plans.
Some County-sponsored Moda medical plans are bargaining unit specific. If you are changing bargaining units and are enrolled in a plan not available to your new bargaining unit, you will need to elect a new ODS medical plan from the choices available to you in your new status.
The documents below are required to change plan elections.
Depending upon the bargaining unit change, eligibility for other benefit plans may be impacted. These plans include: Short Term Disability, Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance, HRA VEBA and Long Term Care Insurance. You will receive notice from the Benefits Office explaining the changes (if any) to your eligibility for any of these plans (either loss of eligibility, or new eligibility for enrollment) and the options you have available due to the bargaining unit change.
An employee who experiences a qualified change in FTE can change health plans within the same carrier and add or remove dependents based on this change in FTE. Employees have 90 days from the change in FTE to change plans and/or enroll/remove dependents. However, the requested change is not retro-active. It will be effective the first of the month, following receipt of completed paperwork.
The documents below are required to add new dependents to health plan coverage and/or change plan elections*.
Marriage/Domestic Partnership Affidavit webform - Required if adding spouse/partner to coverage and not already on file.
*Plan election changes are only allowed if they are within the same carrier (Moda plan to Moda plan or Kaiser plan to Kaiser plan).
An employee who experiences a qualified change in FTE can change health plans within the same carrier and add or remove dependents based on this change in FTE. Employees have 90 days from the change in FTE to change plans and/or enroll/remove dependents.
Some medical plans are only available to part-time employees. If you have changed from a part-time status (including Local 88/86 half-time and 3/4-time) to full-time employment and are enrolled in one of these plans, the Benefits Office will move you from the part-time only plan to the plan available to full-time employees within the same carrier, but cannot add dependents without a completed form.

There’s strategies and there’s tactics. My strategy is simple: ditch the day job and become a full time writer. That’s my mission statement. To make it happen I need tactics. Tactics don’t win a war, they win battles. Win enough battles and the war is won. My latest tactic: free books.
Wait a minute! How the hell can I give books away if I want to make money at writing books? It sounds like a paradox – or maybe something even worse, like when your girlfriend or wife asks you if her pants still look good on her, then demands honesty. Yeah, for all you guys out there, you know what I’m talking about. Now hide that smirk before your significant other sees it and asks what you’re up to.
So how am I going to pull this rabbit out of my hat? Well it’s simple. I have confidence in my books. I sell over a hundred books a month so it’s not just that I think my books are good, I’ve been convinced by others that my books are good too. Now my plan is to give away a few of them. These are full length novels, not samples, and I plan on changing them up every month or so.
It’s not just a random book I’m offering either. It’s books that are at the beginning of a series. I think there’s an official name for this sort of thing, but I’m not sure what it is. The important thing to me is that I’m giving away a free book and not trying to trick anybody or attach any hidden strings to the offer. All a person needs to do is go to my website and sign up for my newsletter. From that point on I’ll email them a link and instructions on how to obtain the book. No purchase required and no other information necessary. I don’t make a penny off of this, in fact it’s probably costing my money to do so.
But let’s back up a bit. I may not be making anything off of this but I have every confidence that people will like what they read. Maybe not everyone or maybe not even 90% of them. But if 10% like it enough to want more, well the books I’ll be offering will have sequels waiting for them. In some cases there are multiple sequels available. That’s where it comes back around because that’s where I start to make money on this. If 100 people download my book and 10 of them like it enough to buy the sequel, then odds are good I just made some money. Oh sure, $20 isn’t much but I’m hoping 10 people is only the beginning.

Two people saw a figure from two different angle. While one called the figure “six”, the other called it “nine”. You know what happened next. The person who called the figure six felt like the other person had a problem and vice versa. This same thing happens to us but we forget that people tend to see things through the unique lens of experience.
Sometimes we would need to forgo our so called objective point of view to listen to others subjective view to get to where we're going.
People like this don't consciously know that men are mosaics of other men, and it is the same heart that beats in every heart. If they do, they'll understand that we all need one another to get to where we're going as no one can be entirely successful without the help of others.
All I'm saying today is simple. You need to listen to others on your path towards success.
When people criticize you harshly, you're getting the best of sincere feedback and that makes you know what to do. This happens when you can listen. Don't listen with the intent of replying but with the mindset of understanding. If you want to be successful faster, you must be willing listen. Don't just listen to the good comments, but listen to the other ones.
I'm not saying that you subject your life to what others say, but I'm saying you need them. You need their advice and constructive criticism. You might even want to consider a mentor or a private coach.
Listen to others but decide what to do!

The vitreous is a jelly like substance that makes up a substantial portion of the back of the eye, separating the major components at the front of the eye from those at the back ( the retina).
As the eye ages the vitrous can shrink and become detached from the retina. This is called a PVD or posterior vitreous detachment. Approximately 75% of people over the age of 65 will have a PVD.
Apart from an initial increase in the number of floaters and flashes, the condition is harmless. Symptoms usually subside after a while as the brain gets used to them.

Neighborhood Garage Door Service of Portland, OR knows all about the advantages of a good garage door. As such a huge part of your home, it plays several key roles. If your overhead door is getting on in years, it may be time for an upgrade. If you’re thinking about it, here are seven benefits of a new garage door system.
Does your garage door wake you out of a dead sleep? When your spouse comes home, do the dogs act like it’s a hostile invasion? Then it’s time for a new garage door system.
Newer openers feature quieter motors to cut back on the noise. If your automatic garage door opener is using a chain driven system, you may want to consider quieter options. Look into screw driven or belt driven systems. They offer smoother, quieter operation during use.
Older garage doors may not be insulated, or not properly insulated. If this is the case, there will be a lot of heat transfer through your door. If you are heating or cooling your garage at all, your HVAC system has to work harder to keep the temperature regulated. Even if you are not heating or cooling the garage itself, a poorly regulated garage will cause heat transfer into the house itself. This lack of efficiency causes an increase in your power bill.
Garage door openers manufactured before 1993 were secure for their time. However, there’s nothing more tempting to a hacker than a new security system. It didn’t take long before hackers learned to spoof garage door opener remotes. Manufacturers kept innovating and developed rolling code remotes that are virtually unbreakable. If you garage door was built before 1993, it is susceptible to break-in and needs to be replaced.
Garage door safety has also come a long way in safety for you and your family. If you don’t have auto-reversal and photosensors, you need a new garage door system. To check on these, perform two simple checks. Place an object like a paper towel roll in the path of the door and activate it. If the door bumps the roll and reverses, you’re all set. If it doesn’t, or is sluggish in doing so, you either don’t have auto-reverse or it isn’t functioning properly. Check for the photosensors as well by looking on either side of the doorway just above the floor. You should see a small grey or black box with an eye pointing towards the middle.
Any kind of upgrade to your home increases the value. However, studies have shown that one of the top three improvements you can do to your home in regard to return on investment is replacing your garage door. A new door increases curb appeal, and is a huge selling feature for your home.
Your garage door makes up a big part of your home’s facade. For some houses, it can be as much as 40% of the front side. Simple upgrades to the color or hardware on your door can have a nice effect. For a more dramatic facelift on your home, consider a brand new door. Going with windows that coordinate with your house windows can really tie things together.
If you have an old-style wooden garage door, you probably spend a day every year repainting and touching it up. A newer metal garage door will be manufactured with a durable layer of baked-on paint requiring far less maintenance. In addition, newer metal garage doors are more dent resistant meaning they will look new longer.
Is it time for a new garage door system for your home? If so, Neighborhood Garage Door Service of Portland, Oregon is here to help! Give us a call today and one of our technicians can be on site quickly to help you pick your perfect door. We’ll order the door and install it when it arrives. We’re your total solution!

The Eames Plastic Side Chair inevitably belongs to the classic one among all chairs and the more voluminous Plastic Armchair is also hard to think away from living rooms and waiting halls of all over the world. The range of colours of the classic piece is regularly completed with trendy tones and they also appear with a new coat and a new height this year.
Even though you cannot recognize the age of the Plastic Chair, the design is more than 60 years old. The pair of designers Ray & Charles Eames experimented for years with different materials searching for an adapted seat, until they eventually found fiberglass reinforced polyester resin. This one was easy to form without losing any stability.
Plastic sears were produced for the first time in 1950, after being presented on the “Low Cost Furniture Design” exhibition of the Museum of modern Art in 1948 for the first time as well. This made them the first serial produced plastic chairs of design’s history – a novum and absolutely deserved design classic today.
Despite of the timeless character of the Eames Plastic Side Chair, the classic piece by Vitra is offered in new colours and in a new height of 43 cm recently. The classic shape of the chairs thereby remains unchanged.
The range of colours of the Eames Plastic Side and Armchairs has been enlarged with six new colours in cooperation with Hella Jongerius, who supports the team of experts at Vitra as Art Director in the colours and material world since 2008. The seats are also available in ice grey, marine blue, moss green, oxide red, classic red and classic green now. The classic chair has more facets now with the new coats it can wear.
The classic chair is available with new bases now – additional to the classic height – in order to be as comfortable as back in 1948, as intended by Charles & Ray Eames. The new heights are adapted to the size of our bodies, which grew by about 10 cm since the first production of the chair.
The Eames Plastic Chair convinces with its timeless and very functional silhouette since 65 years now. The different seats are individually combinable with numerous bases, whether with or without armrests. Whether for living rooms, waiting halls, cafés and cantinas – the Eames Plastic Chairs are absolute all-rounders.
Our recommendations for you:ChairsView now!

Thousands of people will pick music over Mass during the pontiff’s visit to Dublin next weekend.
The annual Ukulele Hooley in Dun Laoghaire, South Dublin, takes place on Saturday and Sunday and coincides with the visit of Pope Francis to Ireland.
But organisers decided to go ahead with their original dates despite the massive disruption expected as many players and fans had already booked hotels and made travel plans.
Tony Boland said: “Call it divine inspiration if you will but we decided to go ahead as planned on 25th and 26th of August.
The highlight of the 10th hooley will be a concert in People’s Park on Sunday during which 2,000 players will perform the Big Jungle Jam.

Hi everyone and thank you for having this forum it helped me a lot before I welcomed my boys home. Both of my boys came from Jewelspride Bengals in the lovely Langley Britch Columbia Canada.
They look stunning! Hope to hear more about your new babies.
Welcome to our great forum. So you are the lucky owner of Memphis and Montu. I saw many pictures of them on JewelsPride's Facebook page. Carmen is a GREAT breeder and Memphis and Montu are stunning. They are both F8 bengals from different sets of parents. I recognized the names as soon as saw the title of your post. Congratulations!!!
Yup, I'm the lucky owner. Memphis was planned but Montu was a spur of the moment add on when Carmen had him up for adoption. They may be from different parents but they act like they are full on brothers. I can't wait to keep everyone updated on them.
Welcome, and good move getting a second. I'm sure you'll be very happy with that decision, there are so many benefits to having 2.
We look forward to your updates. Carmen is great about posting the updates she receives as well. You are welcome to fill the Gallery section with photos.

The Future Party is a small, growing, and recently established party – a so-called micro party. We are nonetheless serious and issues focused, with a comprehensive policy platform, and are seeking to build support over the long term to eventually become a viable alternative force in Australian politics. As such, we share the concerns of the public, experts and the major parties that there are systemic flaws in our electoral process that turn the contest for some Senate seats into preference deal lotteries.
Equally, though, we believe that attempts to “fix” recent problems simply by making it harder for small parties to register or contest elections will fundamentally damage Australian democracy. The right to vote in an election every few years for one of a handful of established parties is by itself not enough. Truly democratic government must let ordinary citizens stand for office, as independents or under the banner of a party as they see fit; to join and participate in parties that broadly represent their views; and where such parties do not exist, to form new ones of their own.
Voters should be given the chance to support new parties with policies, ideas and values that may not be present in currently established parties. Increasing administrative or financial hurdles will not filter out groups who have views that are not represented in the Australian population. Rather, it will reserve politics for experienced political operatives and for the wealthy – the last outcome the Australian people would want.
Party members need to be correctly enrolled to vote to be counted for registration. We had significant difficulty establishing enrolment addresses for many of our members. We believe this was in part a function of our membership’s youth. However, other factors also contributed. The publicly accessible AEC enrolment verification system is very exacting. And the application to register a political party needs to happen months out from any election to be contested (which of course in turn is not a fixed date), meaning that party members’ electoral details were not up to date.
People are much less willing to join political parties than vote for them and, to a degree, this is increasing over time.Estimates put national Labor Party membership at below 40,000 in 2010, while their primary vote was 4.7 million in the 2010 election.
Initial party membership is likely to be established in a single state. The Future Party’s financial position made it difficult to travel to other states to establish membership bases. The majority of Future Party members are in NSW, due to the majority of our organisers being based in NSW.
Beyond all this, once registered, small parties are at a further disadvantage relative to larger ones through the reverse handicap of electoral funding. Candidates who receive less than 4% of the total primary vote forfeit their nomination fees; while candidates who pass this threshold both have their fees refunded, and further receive taxpayer funding to the tune of $2.53 per primary vote, which in the largest Senate contests of NSW and Victoria translates to a total pool of millions of dollars, split between the already well resourced major parties.
The barrier to entry of registering a party and participating in elections is reasonably high in our opinion, and further increasing that barrier will make it prohibitive for all but the most wealthy organisations and individuals to establish new political parties. All groups that meet a minimum standard of community support, and can pass basic administrative and financial hurdles, such as currently exist, should be allowed to register and field candidates under their party name.
There will always be more parties running than are likely to get elected. However, from our experience of interacting with other minor parties, we believe that the current group voting preference system gives an incentive to register many more parties than would exist otherwise.
Further encourage the proliferation of parties, by enabling the creations of groups entirely or primarily intended to harvest preferences for a different party.
Are prone to so called “preference whisperers” – expert third party advisors who may be working, unknown to the parties they advise, in the interest of a particular candidate or candidates.
Administrative and financial barriers to the registration of new political parties, and the nomination of candidates for elections, not be substantially increased.
Group Ticket Voting be abolished, and some alternative system that retains preferential voting without mandating the ranking of dozens of individual candidates, be established in its place.
Should the elimination of GTV (and replacement with an alternative) be considered inadequate to address current problems by itself, additional options including those outlined below be considered by the committee, with a view to one or more being adopted into electoral law.
Above the line preferences: NSW has for elections to the State upper house implemented a system where voters may opt to order not just individual candidates, but if they prefer, the parties listed above the line, as a substitute for following a group ticket determined order of preference.
Improved preference counting: The Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) version of the Single Transferable Vote (STV) currently employed in the Senate is known to have a number of flaws. Several alternative vote distribution methods are known, and often have superior properties that reduce incentives for tactical voting, front party creation, strategic preference swaps, and so on. STV systems that notably improve on IRV include Meek’s method, and an Australian developed cousin, the Wright system – both of which are purely changes to the system of counting, and do not in themselves require any adjustments by voters.
Randomised ballots: Ballot papers that are printed with an individually randomised order of the groups – frequently called “Robson Rotation” after the Liberal MP who introduced them to Tasmania – are logistically more effort, and would require some creativity by candidates in terms of their How to Vote cards. However, they would remove the “Donkey Vote” effect that significantly advantages candidates in more prominent positions on the ballot, and thus reduce the incentive to create parties to exploit this effect.
Some suggestions have circulated that group ticket voting be retained, but that groups below a certain primary vote not distribute preferences. We believe this suggestion ignores the numerous flaws in GTV, would disenfranchise voters who choose a smaller party, and would ultimately make smaller parties unviable. We thus consider this to be a fundamentally undemocratic idea, and urge the committee not to adopt any proposal along these lines.
We support the committee’s ongoing efforts to improve our electoral system, and look forward to the publication of its recommendations.
The committee is most welcome to contact us to further discuss any of the contents of this submission if desired.

Paris, France, and Providence, R.I. USA, February 15, 2007 — Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, announces the availability of a powerful coupled-analysis capability for fluid-structure interaction (FSI) utilizing ABAQUS, the technology-leading finite element analysis (FEA) software from their SIMULIA brand, and STAR-CD, a market-leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software from CD-adapco.
The new FSI solution builds on the SIMULIA strategy of delivering an open platform for multiphysics simulation. The bi-directional coupling leverages a strong partnership with CD-adapco and the independent, open solution for the coupling—MpCCI software from Fraunhofer SCAI—to enable ABAQUS and STAR-CD to work together to solve a wide range of important FSI problems.
"Multiphysics simulation such as FSI is increasingly important," says Ken Short, VP of strategy and marketing at SIMULIA. "It allows engineers to replicate and predict realistic physical behavior of complex systems where the interactions of fluid and structural responses are significant. Our customers will benefit tremendously from our open platform approach which enables them to easily integrate, fully supported best-in-class technology."
The new offering allows manufacturers and researchers in automotive, aerospace, off-shore, biomedical, consumer, and process industries to study the influence of fluid flow-induced forces and heat transfer on structural integrity as well as the impact of nonlinear material response on fluid flow behavior. This allows them to evaluate a broad range of conditions, such as flow-induced vibrations in structures, in-vivo vascular flows, valve dynamics. and fluid-structure applications in consumer goods and packaging.

A leaked document intended for use only by RIM staff suggests that the Canadian company's soon-to-be-launched BlackBerry PlayBook will be missing some rather important features.
RIM's bomb-proof e-mail and messaging services have long been the BlackBerry's unique selling point but the leaked memo seems to suggest that neither service will be available as native apps when the potential iPad-killer launches on April 16th.
Starting at $499, the PlayBook has always been aimed at the business market where pioneering BlackBerry smartphones made their mark, but now it seems that PlayBook owners will also need to have access to one of the company's handsets in order to use the tablet's full functionality.
BlackBerry Messenger, email and calendar services will rely on BlackBerry Bridge to connect to the handset, to all intents and purposes turning the tablet into a very expensive external monitor with a built-in web browser.
RIM has been accused of rushing the PlayBook to market in order to steal some of the iPad's thunder, but releasing an expensive device with many of its prime features hobbled to such an extent could damage the PlayBook's reputation.
Native apps for the tablets proprietory OS will also be few and far between at launch, and Android apps are expected to take a performance hit as they are forced to run inside an optional Android App Player application adding to the CPU overhead.
We've asked RIM to comment on the leak which has confirmed what many suspected, that only existing BlackBerry owners will find a real use for the seven-inch tablet, and we'll update you if and when they get back to us.
We suspect that RIM's PR machine will churn out the stock response that the company doesn't comment on leaks, rumours or conjecture.

Russell Erxleben was an amazing kicker and punter in college for the University of Texas kicking an NCAA record 67 yard field goal in 1977. He’d be named All American 1976-1978 and also set a Texas single season record, averaging 46.6 yards a punt. After graduating from UT, the New Orleans Saints made Russell their #1 pick in 1979 where he’d play double duty again as a punter and kicker. Oddly the team utilized him sparingly as a kicker over his career but he averaged a bit over 40 yards a punt in his 5 seasons with the Saints punting 279 times, including a club record 89 in 1980. In 1982 Erxleben had a career high 43.0 yard average on 46 punts. He’d be cut in 1983, and play as a scab in 1987 on the Lions for one contest, but subsequently retire after the season.
Unfortunately Russell’s name has never been able to shake his lofty draft status, since he was the second highest drafted kicker in NFL history. Erxleben was also convicted of securities fraud in 1999, and but was released in 2005. He currently is retired and living near Dripping Springs, Texas, and enjoys watching his son follow in his footsteps as a kicking specialist with- Texas Tech.
Somebody was cutting corners on these cards with that weak blur in the background of Erxleben’s set card. Didn’t you guys learn how to make proper masks in Photoshop? As far as autographs go, Russell has a fairly pedestrian one, as it lacks the boldness of an autograph but belies the subtlety of a signature. I rubbed the film significantly on the surface of the card so that it could take the autograph better, and it appears for the most part that it worked as there is only a little ink loss from the bubbling. Erxleben makes the first TTM success from the UT Upper Deck 2011 set, signing these 2 cards in 10 days. I look forward to many more in the future and this is a great way to get fans interested and aligned with particular college interests.

From paper airplanes to plastic-bag parachutes, kids love to see what they can create from everyday items. Our lesson plan will captivate students as they design and construct aluminum foil boats—then see how many pennies they can transport safely across a plastic-tub ocean! Along the way, kids will get hands-on experience with the concept of buoyancy.
Note: This lesson is designed for 1st–2nd graders. While this lesson plan was created for the classroom, it’s also a fun activity to try at home!
Students will predict how many pennies an aluminum foil boat will hold before it sinks.
Students will test their predictions and record the results.
Before you start the activity, get your students excited to learn about floating…and sinking! Ask if anyone has ever traveled on a boat. Ask if they can remember what kind of boat it was and have them estimate how many passengers might have been on board. Ask students if there can ever be too many people on a boat. If so, what might happen?
Keep the discussion going until kids understand that too much weight on a boat may cause it to sink.
Give kids a Float Your Boat Record Sheet. Announce that they’re investigators. Their mission is to discover how many pennies can float in a foil boat before it sinks.
Pass out large sheets of aluminum foil and ask kids to bend and fold the foil any way they like to make a boat—as long as it’s designed to hold pennies and float.
Ask kids to record their boat’s design in the record sheet. Explain that it will help their investigations.
Have kids guess how many pennies their boat will hold. Be sure to write that number in the record sheet.
Divide the class into groups or pairs.
Provide each group with a tub full of water and a handful of pennies. It’s time to test the predictions!
Have kids add penny passengers to their boat until it sinks! Ask them to look at the record sheet. Did their boat hold more or fewer pennies than they predicted? Record the actual amount of pennies each boat held to wrap up the investigation.
You can keep the learning going long after the first investigation is over. Talk with your students about their boat designs. Ask them why they think some boats held more pennies than others without sinking. Explain that boats with greater surface area have greater buoyancy—and can therefore hold more weight. Finally, invite students to share how they would update their boats to hold more pennies and why.

While smartphones like Samsung’s Galaxy S8 are all the rage, there was a time when mobile gaming devices like the cult classic Nintendo Game Boy held centre stage. The Game Boy has been one of history’s most successful mobile consoles, and although many companies have sought to recreate it, so far nothing has beaten the original design.
That is, until Korean-based tech giant Samsung got involved. Samsung has been looking to gain an upper hand in the war of the smartphones and beat its competition; namely, Apple’s iPhone. Now, thanks to an ingenious new device, any owner of a Samsung smartphone can experience Game Boy gaming in all its former glory, transporting millions of fans back to the 90’s.
The Korean technology brand recently revealed a new add-on for its smartphones, which has been licensed through Los Angeles firm Hyperkin. Hyperkin’s SmartBoy is an add-on device specifically designed for Android, which effectively transforms Samsung smartphones into retro Game Boys – complete with an old-fashioned cartridge slot for games.
Of course, it is possible to find Android-based video game simulators to recreate the classic Game Boy games for mobile play, but the SmartBoy offers authentic 90’s-style gaming action through the use of a simple add-on, which even makes users’ smartphones look like the iconic mobile console.
The SmartBoy is capable of running both Game Boy Colour and Game Boy Original game cartridges, and is also compatible with Game Boy Advance apps and other select apps and mobile games from Google Play. Some past favourites from the end of the 20th century included Pokémon, Mario Kart, Tetris, and Donkey Kong, all of which are available through Game Boy Advance.
Hyperkin has noted that the SmartBoy was created for today’s generation of Samsung smartphones that feature USB Type-C ports. Ultimately, this means that any of Samsung’s modern smartphones will be compatible with the add-on, including its most recent releases: the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the Samsung Galaxy J3. Samsung devices have been hugely popular with those who love gaming on the go, and are a favourite with those who love high quality casino games and just about any other multi-media for mobile. The SmartBoy will only serve to make them even more appealing to their already enormous customer base.
Interestingly, the SmartBoy began as something of a joke when Hyperkin announced the idea as an April Fool’s prank to its customers last year. However, the positive feedback was enough to convince the company to put the idea into action, and the device has now been about two years in the making according to its lead designer Chris Gallizzi.
The SmartBoy is set to hit shelves later during 2017, and has already been granted an official license from Samsung as an approved add-on for its smartphone models. The device will come with a price tag of about NZ$92 (US$67), and is compatible with any phone screen size from 5.2 to 6 inches. It does not require batteries, and offers classic tactile buttons just like its retro predecessor.
It’s currently also only set to be released in the US and Korea, although with enough positive support from countries like New Zealand, this might soon change. Retro style tech has become hugely popular recently, with everything from record players to radios being re-released. It looks like the SmartBoy has captured the markets attention at just the right time, and is set to be a huge hit.

MANAMA, Bahrain (NNS) -- The guided-missile destroyer USS Jason Dunham (DDG 109) seized an illicit weapons shipment of 2,521 AK-47 automatic rifles aboard a stateless skiff in the international waters of the Gulf of Aden, Aug. 28.
The count follows an initial estimate of more than 1,000 rifles. The skiff was determined to be stateless following a flag verification boarding conducted in accordance with international law. The origin and intended destination of the skiff have not been determined.
“As a part of our counter-trafficking mission, we are actively involved in searching for illegal weapons shipments of all kinds,” said Vice Adm. Scott Stearney, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. 5th Fleet, and the Combined Maritime Forces. “Ensuring the free flow of commerce for legitimate traffic and countering malign actors at sea continue to be paramount to the U.S. Navy and its regional partners and allies.
The seizure comes after four weapons seizures in 2015 and 2016 by Combined Maritime Forces and U.S. 5th Fleet assets.
The second seizure was by the Royal Australian Navy's HMAS Darwin, which intercepted a dhow Feb. 27, 2016, confiscating nearly 2,000 AK-47 assault rifles, 81 rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) launchers, 49 PKM general purpose machine guns, 39 PKM spare barrels and 20 60mm mortar tubes.
The third seizure was by the French Navy destroyer FS Provence March 20, 2016, and yielded almost 2,000 AK-47 assault rifles, 64 Dragunov sniper rifles, nine anti-tank missiles and six PK machine guns with bipods.
The United Kingdom based investigative organization, Conflict Armament Research, studied and linked three of the caches to weapons that plausibly derive from Iranian stockpiles.

That you’re reading this right now is a sign of just how much potential the internet has to alter the way we even think about history. Ancient events are no longer confined to dusty books or shared stories. Instead, an abundance of information is only ever a few clicks away.
Thanks to the invention of men like Tim Berners Lee, the way we live our lives has been changed forever. It’s altered the way we think about our past and the way we fight our wars. It’s been an essential component of recent events like the Arab Spring and the colour revolutions, all while providing entertainment and commerce at the same time.
The invention of the internet was a paradigm shift, one we’re yet to fully understand. But if the old adage is true, if ‘those who do no understand history are doomed to repeat it’, then the internet allows us to (hopefully) avoid many of the mistakes listed in this article.

Sky Larkin from Leeds, UK have been slowly emerging into the spotlight for their playful attraction and delightful but unrefined temperament. Having recently played a list of live shows alongside You Say Party! We Say Die! and Los Campesinos!, they're picking up the pace and making their way...to your ears, that is. You could throw in the mixture of comparative influences like Sleater-Kinney and Rilo Kiley along with a bunch colourful balloons, kite flying, tree climbing, cat scratching youths on a dreary British sky and you pretty much sum up what is of this three piece band. They have so far only released two singles this year: One of Two and their latest, Molten, released last month in the UK. So really this is just the start of what's to come in future.

Individuals can face misdemeanor or felony charges under California Penal Code Section 487j: Grand Theft of Copper Materials.
Individuals in California can be charged with grand theft for stealing property valued at more than $950. Depending on the exact type of property stolen, the court might use more specific charges. One example of this situation is California Penal Code Section 487j: Grand Theft of Copper Materials.
The penalties for a violation of PC 487j are very similar to those used for a basic grand theft charge. However, there are some subtleties. Find out more about what makes the grand theft of copper materials unique with the Simmrin Law Group.
Individuals should only be charged with grand theft of copper materials if they steal, carry away, or take more than $950 worth of these materials.
In many cases, PC 487j violations occur when someone enters a foreclosed home or business to take valuable items left behind. Many scrap dealers pay a lot of money for copper and other metals, leading to a market for these stolen products.
Note that, if force or fear are used to take copper materials, an individual could face charges for robbery.
Person A notices an abandoned house at the end of their street. No one seems to live there anymore. Person A decides not to let anything go to waste and enters the property one night. Person A takes various goods, including copper materials worth around $1,000, assuming that no one owns the property. However, the property is still owned, and Person A is convicted of grand theft of copper materials.
Person B works with a plumbing company that sometimes removes damaged copper pipes from customer’s homes. The company is given the pipes as part of their job contract. Person B decides that no one will notice if he keeps a few pipes to personally sell. He makes around $2,000 and could be convicted of grand theft of copper materials.
Any individuals accused of grand theft of copper materials should contact a criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles right away. Both misdemeanor and felony charges should be taken seriously, as they can lead to high fines and years of incarceration.
It is not illegal to remove copper materials that do not belong to anyone. Sometimes, individuals may find and remove copper materials that were simply abandoned for anyone to access.
Sometimes, false accusations are made in the legal system around Los Angeles. You may be able to prove that you were falsely accused if you have an alibi for your whereabouts at the time of the theft.
Legally, you are allowed to remove copper materials from your own property to sell them. A criminal defense lawyer can go over your case to see if any of these defenses would work in your case.
Individuals can improve their odds for beating a charge under California Penal Code Section 487j: Grand Theft of Copper Materials by contacting a legal professional right away. The team at the Simmrin Law Group has experience handling theft charges. Let our professional criminal defense lawyers go over your situation today with a FREE consultation.
You can reach us by filling out our online contact form or calling (310) 997-4688.

Asahi Beer is the juice that Japan runs on- it fuels the salarymen and the office ladies alike, keeping them lean, mean, and ready to work 18 hour shifts until karoushi (death by over-work) drives them into the ground. Asahi is the beer in a silver can- its most distinguishing feature by far. Kirin and Sapporo in their gold and white cans with cluttered labeling scream respectively- ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ and ‘nothing to see here, move along’. Asahi Super Dry is where it’s at.
SY organised this trip to the Asahi Brewery and Canning Plant in Ibaraki a few weeks ago, a trip I co-signed onto with great cheer: a trip out of Tokyo- excellent; a chance to drink up to 3 glasses of my favourite beer for free- excellent. And so, off we went.
The observation / tasting tower.
I became an Asahi fan a few years back, when I made the leap from being a cheap-skate street-drinker quaffing only to get drunk to a more distinguished social drinker imbibing for the taste and a light buzz. It was a wonderful move for me, as I’d never genuinely enjoyed getting totally drunk- though I did do it quite a lot- I was invariably just bored with whatever situation I was in and felt drinking to be an interesting way out.
Resultingly, I faced a choice of what beer to adopt. Earlier it had been easier- I chose my drink by its strength and price alone- the cheaper and stronger the better; if it tasted bad I didn’t care, I’d likely just chug it anyway. Upon changing, Asahi seemed the best, the most classy, the sleekest, and also one of the more expensive brands; so, as some kind of symbol of my progress in the world, I adopted Asahi and it adopted me.
Me hungering for giant Asahi.
This factory is the largest of 9 in Japan, at which they enact the whole beering process from start to finish, brewing through to canning and shipment. We took a shuttle bus from Moriya station and joined our tour upon arrival. First off they showed us a movie detailing how the beer is brewed, then they took us on a walking tour of the plant. Unfortunately it was in-active as it was a Sunday, but we got to see what the process would be like on a workday via numerous videos presented innovatively throughout the tour.
Out tour guide demonstrates the correct way to pour a beer.
I chatted a little with the tour guide as we went along.
Tour Guide- You drink beer every day?
MJG (not understanding)- Really, how much do you drink every day?
Hmmm. She also asked me why I like Asahi.
Tour Guide- Which beer do you drink?
Tour Guide- *eyes light up* Oh, thank you! (bows). Why do you like Asahi?
MJG- I like the silver can.
Tour Guide and SY- (laugh).
A ‘correctly’ poured glass of Asahi. The Japanese prefer their beer with a big head of foam; beer-foam moustaches are often lauded in TV commercials.
Now SY teases me that I drink Asahi just because of the design, so I join in. When I take the opening sip of a can of Asahi I sit back and go- ‘aaaah’ with pleasure, then add ‘that’s a good design’.
The Tour Guide asked us how many cans we think these vats would fill. It’s something in the 100s of thousands, if not millions.
The top of a mash tun vat.
The canning warehouse, silent on a Sunday.
At the end of the tour we proceeded to the observation / tasting area where we could drink up to 3 glasses of Asahi for free. The choices were Asahi Super Dry, Asahi Black, or half and half. I had one of each. Asahi Black is a stout so of course I compared it to Guinness in my mind. For some reason before I could get my third drink the Tour Guide hustled us along, even though the next shuttle bus was not for 30 minutes.
To kill time we went in the gift shop, and SY (ever a sucker for omiyage) bought these beer-flavored chocolates for us to enjoy on the ride home. They didn’t taste anything like beer, but were still very nice.
SY and I pose with a big can.
To take the tour yourself, you ought to book yourself in at their website here. You’ll have to do it in Japanese though, as the English version of the site is only corporate stuff.
My husband thinks Asahi is for weak people and Kirin and Ebisu are the best. Though in Australia Asahi seems to be more popular, mainly i think, because it’s much cheaper.
Super Dry is yummy. Thanks for the great pix of your tour!
‘You can never get too much head.’ I’m very sorry, but couldn’t help it.
I have tasted it … its good!
Thanks a tonne, you gave me some insight and inspiration to get into gear and go this weekend, cheers!

In November of 2009 I held a joint exhibition: “LABYRINTH” - with artists Martha Chaudhry, Donna Coughlin and Clare Gaylard. The exhibition opened November 12th 2009 at 2902 Gallery.
We were working together as ”The Artichoke Group” with the purpose of exhibiting art, creating events and support groups such as The Down Syndrome Association of Singapore.
The group exhibition, LABYRINTH, showcased a collection of original multi-media artworks - glass, photography, acrylic and oil paintings. An important component of the exhibition was the artists’ support of the Down Syndrome Association of Singapore’s (DSA) art-based enrichment programme, which benefitted from the proceeds of the opening night auction, partial proceeds from sales of work, and a dedicated display space as part of the exhibition. Through this exhibition The Artichoke Group sought to generate awareness of the individual artists' work, as well as a socially conscious group to promote good works in the community through artistic endeavor.
At the the official opening of exhibition, LABYRINTH, this collaborate work was auctioned off at a silent auction as well as a piece of artwork donated by each of the artists. 100% of the proceeds from this auction was donated to DSA.
The exhibition encompassed several events aside from the opening. One of the highlights being a Family Day which was held on Sunday November 15th 2009 from 11 am – 3 pm. At this Event the involved artists showcased live demonstrations, and members of the community and their families could take part in art-based interactive activities.
