Will The Pokémon Switch Game Release In 2018?
The Nintendo Switch just keeps breaking new ground. First, they sell over 5 million consoles in 4 months, a rate not seen since the Wii’s release back in 2006. Second, they announce, in a first for Nintendo, cross platform compatible multiplayer titles Rocket League and Minecraft will be coming to the Switch.
Now, Pokémon is coming in 2018... or later.
We already knew that Pokémon would eventually come to the Switch from the Nintendo event at E3 this year, we just didn’t know when. But now, buried in Nintendo’s second quarter earnings report, is the line “Pokémon RPG for Switch: 2018 or later.” Given the enormous success of the console, Pokémon will probably make an appearance sooner rather than later.
The Switch already has one Pokémon game, Pokkén Tournament DX, which is a port of Pokkén Tournament from the Wii U. The game is more or less a fighting game, where players control a particular Pokémon and fight out an actual battle in real time. The game has seen modest success, but it's a large departure from the RPG roots of the series.
This announcement confirms that the Switch will receive a proper Pokémon RPG, which means it's time for some good ol’ fashioned wild speculation!
It could just be a port of Pokémon Sun and Moon, which would be rather disappointing but relatively easy for Nintendo to do. Likely it would include updated graphics, some new features, and maybe a legendary Pokémon or two, but considering most people who want to play Pokémon already own Sun or Moon (or both) for the 3DS it would be a huge waste of potential.
What we all want is something grand in scope, like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where no longer are you as a trainer confined to beaten paths and 2 dimensions. We want a 3D sandbox, where players can go anywhere, where battles can happen on mountain tops or cities or anywhere in between. Where tall grass actually is actually, y’know, tall, and using Fly actually takes you high into the air on your Pokémon’s back.
Best of all would be full multiplayer support where you can quest with your friends, or better yet, have your friend as your rival!
C’mon, Nintendo - you’re on a roll. Hit this new Pokémon game out of the park! | 2019-04-22T22:18:12 | https://www.thegamer.com/nintendo-switch-pokemon-game-2018-release-questions/ |

Grandiflora is a floral boutique in Australia. This year the boutique launched two different interpretations of magnolia-inspired perfumes, Michel and Sandrine.
Grandiflora Sandrine opens with sulfuric grapefruit with spicy pepper. To my surprise this one is all about the citrus – bright, spicy citrus. The heart is like a really luxurious laundry detergent – musk and clean florals. It goes through a stage that reminds me of gunpowder tea (smoky green tea). The dry-down is a stunning slightly-fruity musk that melds perfectly to my skin.
If I had “blind sniffed” this, I would have thought of it as a clean grapefruit tea. I would have never picked up on any magnolia references. Overall, this is a good “clean” citrus tea. Honestly, I would have thought it was a new perfume in By Kilian’s Asian Tales Collection (and it would have been the best one in that collection).
Give Grandiflora Sandrine a try if you like citrus florals. Or perfumes like Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis, Antica Farmacista Grapefruit, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune, By Kilian Water Calligraphy and/or Tommy Hilifiger Tommy Girl. Because of the citrus and the freshness, I think this one would be a good perfume for spring/summer wear.
Projection and longevity are average (which is rather good for a citrus-heavy perfume).
The 3.4 oz retails for $185 at Luckyscent and Indigo. Samples are also available for purchase.
Victoria’s Final EauPINION – A clean grapefruit tea. If you are looking for a magnolia perfume, I don’t recommend this. If you are looking for a grapefruit perfume, I recommend this. It’s a really good citrus.
*Disclaimer – Sample provided by the brand. I am not financially compensated for the review. My opinions are my own. Product pic from Fragrantica. Aida Overton Walker from www.findagrave.com.
Now that you mention it I need to go back and retry. Grapefruit tea doesn’t sound much like my experience but I think sometimes note lists, expectations and others stories can have a determining effect on what we smell. I am quite excited to see if given your new input I can follow your journey.
It’s a really pretty fragrance, but grapefruit was so amp’d on me. But, in all fairness magnolias do have that citrus thing going on. It’s one I’m going to revisit too. | 2019-04-19T17:03:30 | https://www.eaumg.net/grandiflora-magnolia-grandiflora-sandrine-edp-perfume-review/ |
Ahoy! I can’t believe it’s been three months since I last wrote anything here. Wow. I guess, as they say, time flies when you’re having fun. A lot has happened in the past quarter, I have had my hand in a few more albums and singles, I turned 21 and I took a trip to the other side of the world! Whoosh!
I have managed to keep the main site relatively updated in the mean time, even if I haven’t wrote on here, so there is new stuff to see. well here is a handful of stuff, some commissioned, some not.
New wallpapers! The first being a diagram of how rain is made.
Here is a dabbling in mixing illustration with photography, named Suburban Takeover.
The last thing I have to mention for the time being is that I got a new camera – my first dSLR! I’m enjoying the freedom that’s offering me, and I joined flickr, as that seems to be the done thing by anyone who likes taking photos, though I have to say I don’t understand it completely yet. I thought it was going to be a bit more public and would offer me lots of people looking at my photos to potentially offer me constructive criticism, as I don’t think my photos are very good yet. Anyway, If you use flickr too, I would be delighted if you did whatever you do on flickr and start talking about my photos or something.
OK, the last thing I’ll leave you with for now is this character. Avast! | 2019-04-18T18:59:05 | http://www.trickartt.com/notes/2007/08/time-flies-when-youre-having-fun/ |
The (ISC)2‘s CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) covers 10 security-centric domains. It is this CBK that forms the basis of the CISSP exam. The domains cover a broad array of subject areas including physical security, operations security, cryptography, business continuity, network security and so forth.
The bulk of my experience falls solidly into three of the domains: Application Security; Cryptography; and Telecommunications and Network Security. I have had operational experience in several other domains and there are a few which represent areas well outside any of my professional responsibilities.
I began studying in 2009 by reading the CISSP for Dummies bookb. I wanted something that would give me a quick overview of the domains and exam process. The book was helpful, though insufficient as my sole source for understanding the breadth and depth of the CBK. One suggestion the book made, which later turned out to be quite wise, was to sign up for the exam in order to force oneself to buckle down and study.
I next read the (ISC)2‘s official guide to the CISSP CBKc. Although somewhat dry, the book gave me a solid understanding of the knowledge expectations that the (ISC)2 has for someone to pass the exam and represent the profession. I took a long time to finish this book, putting it aside at times to read books on other subjects.
In February of 2010 I finally took the advice from the “For Dummies” book and registered for the exam that was scheduled to take place nearby in April. Now the clock was truly ticking and I wanted to assess where I stood. I knew that I was solid in some domains but likely weak in others.
In order to have access to a broad set of practice exam questions, I purchased Shon Harris’ CISSP exam guided. This book is well written and very approachable. There are lighthearted comments sprinkled throughout the book which help to make the material more engaging. The book also supplies a testing tool with a nice set of practice questions.
After completing the Harris book I took a practice exam and identified my weakest domains (Security Architecture and Design, Physical Security). I applied some focused study around these 2 areas and took another practice exam, passing with better than 95% across all domains. At that point I felt I was ready, which was good since it was getting close to exam day.
A couple of weeks before the exam I received an email containing my exam admission document. It spelled out the location and process for taking the exam. This information agreed with the background provided in the books I had read. Essentially you don’t need anything beyond the admission document and an acceptable photo id (such as a driver’s license).
You can usually bring something to drink and eat, since you may be there for up to 6 hours. Where I took the exam, all the test takers were required to put their drinks and snacks at the back of the room and go there to partake.
While taking the test, time flew by for me. I had no idea what time it was when I left since I didn’t have my cell phone with me (electronic devices were not allowed in the exam room). It turned out that I had taken about 3 hours to finish.
Over the next few months I intend to blog about each domain including highlights around material that was new to me as well as information that I already knew and was clearly germane to the CBK.
I am interested in hearing about experiences from others that have taken the exam or are contemplating taking it. Since I have a background in education I’m looking for an opportunity to assist with a study group for prospective CISSP test takers. Perhaps we can get a group started in the Albany/Schenectady area.

Having blogged on most of the Himal hot soaks one can take a look at the wider area beyond the Himal area. As stated before deeper into China there are little hot springs still in natural state. Nor are the sites non-commercial. North of the Himal lies another huge administrative area, the autonomous region of Xinjiang Uyghur.
'the utilization of geothermal resources in Xinjiang remains in a pretty low level at this moment. Only a little of them has been developed for medical treating and bathing use'.
'there is no any active volcano in Xinjiang'.
A nice problem to solve.
'standard international indoor swimming pool'.
And is sometimes known as Water mill Gully.
Another major attraction of Ürümqi is the Swan Lake. Near the Swan Lake of Bayinburuke (Mongolia for rich springs) is the hot spring of Aerxia (Arxian). It is reputed to have healing powers. Angela Yeo has just the one photo of presumably the hot spring of Swan Lake, as well as others from the same area.
wiwei has been to Arxian.
'There are dozens of hot springs, which are dominated by three hot springs at the foot of Laojun Temple, namely No.1 Spring, No.2 Spring and No.3 Spring, also one “Eyes Spring” with flux of 0.5 liter per second, which can cure eye disease'.
Other than that there are two hot springs in Wusu (Wuzu). A link provides photo's entitled Wusu hot spring as well as extensive other info on Wusu.
'Located in Shawan county cures sikness slowerilv among the local people'.
Fuhai county has a hot spring 'gully' named Alashan; more cryptical info can be found here.
'... despite its modest exterior, the main building housed a large clean pool and several bath tubs that were continously fed by hot water from the spring nearby'.
The Bortala Mongolian autonomous prefecture contains the hot spring of Bozhou Bogeda in Wenquan county. Tot hier This is a national class 2a scenic area. Others describe the hot spring as magical.
Southern Xinjiang consists mostly of Bayingolin autonomous prefecture. Here plans are of exploiting / upgrading the local hot spring of Usu. Or were (link disappeared Nov. 2011).
Unfortunately mostly the hot soaks of Xinjiang remain quite unknown. No doubt there are many more with little or no info on the web. That said many on the web fail to go beyond some small scale descriptions with little photographic and / or actual experience.
Song Huang (2010) has a recent publication which briefly touches on hot springs in Xinjiang. He lists a number of hot springs requiring protection. Not included above are Tianshan Shenmu (?), Fish-eye, Beullaclacris, Wushi, Jinhegou, Yining Huolongdong and Huocheng Huolongdong.
Finally a word on Wucaiwan hot spring.
Wucaiwan is located in Jimsar county, Changji Hui autonomous prefecture. It's main claim to fame is the naming of a geological formation. A MSc thesis by Weijun Li (2010) draws comparisons between a Swedish bathing town and possible development of Wucaiwan. An interesting read.
The picture above is part of a $400 million investment drive, only 10 years ago. Apparently it still attracts only 100 soakers a day which means someone is losing money or the amounts thrown at the spa facilities were slightly overstated. Included in the report are equally bleak pictures with virtually no-one existent.
Overall the report lacks depth (easy MSc?) and recommends linking the resort more to the overall tourist infrastructure.

Hi I’m Claudia - nutritional and massage therapist with a passion for healthy cooking.
As a nutritional therapist I base my approach on the principles of functional medicine - meaning I seek the underlying causes of a problem rather that “fixing” it by suppressing the symptoms.
I worked for many years in the health industry throughout and following my diploma in Nutritional Therapy at the London College of Naturopathic Medicine. Through the experience of having to juggle long working hours and studying I gained the appreciation for the need of a ‘realistic’ approach to find my own ‘healthy’ which in turn I apply with my clients. In my professional career I have also gained extensive knowledge on nutritional supplements which I sometimes suggest to my clients as an addition to a diet plan.
I strive to divulge awareness on how bad food can harm us and how to make the best choices in any situation, help you listen to your body and aim to provide a plan that fits with your lifestyle so you can find your version of healthy.
View my recent publication for Todelli.com to read my views on eating healthy in London.
I am also a fully qualified massage therapist and have been practicing holistic massages for 13 years. I deeply believe in the power of massage to help reduce stress, muscle tension, headaches, improve circulation and support detoxification. I offer massages which include deep tissue techniques for loosening muscle fibres, stroke movements for muscle stretching and relaxation and pressure techniques to reduce tension and stiffness.
I love sharing healthy recipes!

▪ The wine salesperson on the floor might actually have tasted the wines and be able to point out intelligently which ones are fit for tonight’s dinner and which ones should be socked away.
▪ Some wine critics note or imply whether a wine be drunk now or held.
▪ Other hints for telling whether a wine is best consumed now or is meant to age: Screwcaps indicate a wine is intended for early consumption, while corks indicate that the wine should be aged. Also, the lower the alcohol the more likely the wine should be drunk young. Furthermore, price can be a guide; the higher it is, the longer the wine likely will age, or at least that’s the implication. There are, however, enough exceptions to these guidelines to send consumers back to the advice of a knowing wine merchant.
What put me in mind of two types of gold-medal sticker was a class of cabernet sauvignons our panel judged at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition in Cloverdale earlier this year. There were 66 of them, all priced between $39 and $43. Yes, we were lucky, for cabernets in that price niche should be models of varietal typicity, energy, balance and length. We gave 16 of them gold or double-gold medals, the latter being granted when all judges of a panel agree that a wine merits gold.
Le Casque Wines 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($40): Get this: Our best-of-class cabernet sauvignon came from Le Casque Wines in little ol’ Loomis. While Le Casque is identified largely with varietal wines and blends based on Rhone Valley grape varieties grown in the Sierra foothills, owner-winemaker Kevin Stevenson knows where to go for cabernet sauvignon, and that’s Napa Valley. The result is a 2012 that comes down proudly and expressively on the herbal side of the cabernet spectrum, a well-proportioned throwback to the days when Napa Valley cabernets could be drunk immediately as well as laid down to age handsomely.
Ecluse Wines 2013 Paso Robles Lock Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ($40): For its silken texture and seductive cherry flavor, this entry won a rare spontaneous double-gold medal. Usually, a double-gold is a negotiated medal; that is, a panelist who thought it warranted silver but not gold had to be persuaded of the wine’s grandeur. With this elegant and balanced interpretation there was no question that it deserved gold.
DeWitt Family Wines 2012 Sonoma County Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($42): Cabernet sauvignon out of Alexander Valley long has been recognized for its dark lush fruit, supple tannins and graceful presentation, characteristics captured here in a readily accessible representative. It was one of six double-gold medal winners in the class.
Speedy Creek Winery 2013 Knights Valley Speedy Creek Cabernet Sauvignon ($40): After a stretch of especially rigid cabernets during the judging, this entry was embraced not only for its vivid fruit but its tangy acidity, modest tannins and all-around drinkability.
Hood Crest Winery 2013 Columbia Valley Waving Tree Cabernet Sauvignon ($42): From northern Oregon comes a cabernet that while lithe in build nonetheless is hung with ample sweet fruit that is welcoming at first sip and refuses to give up its embrace until long after the last swallow.
Boatique Winery 2012 Lake County Red Hills Cabernet Sauvignon ($40): This is why the volcanic soils of the Red Hills rising from the west shore of Clear Lake are generating so much buzz – a cabernet sauvignon complex, graceful and persistent, with a note of sarsaparilla and the kind of firm tannic build that will have it drinking best in five or so years.
Longboard Vineyard 2013 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon ($42): In my notes, I call this “a conversation piece,” code for a certain alluring eccentricity. It won’t be everyone’s cup of cabernet sauvignon, primarily for its young stiffness and brooding attitude, but lurking behind all that is fresh dark fruit, spice, silk and a lingering finish, all of which is bound to build upon itself with a few years in the cellar.
Vina Moda 2013 Sierra Foothills Cabernet Sauvignon ($40): Though gold-medal cabernets out of the Sierra foothills are rare, and double-gold medals even more rare, which this was, the Vina Moda won over the panel for its faithful juiciness, insinuations of tea and complications of earthiness and oak. It’s hard right now, but should continue to evolve into a wine of suppleness and balance.
V. Sattui Winery 2012 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($39): V. Sattui is recognized for wines faithful to breeding, accessibility and value, and while this cherry- and oak-saturated release can be enjoyed right now with appropriately marbled beef, it should evolve into a more open take on the genre with a few years of age. | 2019-04-24T16:36:02 | https://www.sacbee.com/food-drink/wine/dunne-on-wine/article82089737.html |

Your Last Ride' where you will climb into a wooden casket, close the lid and lie on your back in the Pitch Black for what will be an all out Extreme 4D experience involving all your senses.
You will Hear the sound and Feel the movement of the Cockney gravediggers loading you into a Hot Rod Hearse and taking you for 'Your Last Ride'.
You will Smell the Roses as they unload you at the grave site, and as they throw you in the hole, the Smell of dirt will permeate the air as you are being shovelled in until you Hear nothing but silence.
Just when you think all is lost, the Smell of Decay will begin to fill the air and the Dry taste of Fear will cover your tongue.
When you finally realise your NOT alone in the dark, it will because of the bugs and creepy crawlers attacking you in an unsettling climax before the lid flies open with a rush of fresh air bringing relief that your back...............back from 'Your Last Ride'.
To experience the thrill of being dead and buried 6 feet under, is truly a once in a "lifetime" chance!
Don't worry, you won't really be alone because your friends and the Forbidden freaks waiting in line will be watching you through the Night Vision Coffin Cam. | 2019-04-19T06:28:54 | http://www.99mustsee.com/Australia/GlowGolf-Docklands-VIC-Attractions-1388 |
To simplify it in a simplified scientific language I’d say that by observing we make the wave function to collapse, making it possible for as to see the particle behavior exhibited in what we call matter.
Note that some of you can be deceived from the “particle” part in the “wave-particle” term.
That entity is not a particle. It is an entity said to behave either as a wave or as a particle, but “behavior” is not “consistency”.
Therefore, it would be safer to think of it as a wave.
I would call it “awareness-wave” which interferes with itself.
My favorite word for this interference is “DREAM”.
The mind as part of the “awareness-wave” (God) can observe its own interference thus creating delusion about existence out of the self, hence the observable surrounding.
The state of the mind, which knows that is observing its own self-interference is known as “awaken”.
People with low intelligence tend to accept old explanation without questioning, thus becoming blind religious followers.
The need for salvation brings obedience to rules, which were (and still are) used by the church for self-interests.
The “sound” meaning has no absolute value because it describes our perception for certain vibration frequency.
Let’s take the word “red” for example.
We named a range of the light spectrum with the name “red”.
We agree on the fact that most humans can recognize that certain range, and we use the word red for it, but we can not know how each of us sees the color with that name.
Therefore, “red” is just a word for a certain range of the light spectrum, which has no absolute value for all observers.
To say that the noise and the light are still there is illogical knowing that we are using not absolute values.
– Do you know what “wave function collapse” is?
By using it in my explanation, I mean that we as measuring (observing) tools are defining the value to which the set of calculated probabilities will collapse. Everything around us is set of systems, interfering with each other and us. We are defining the values for the wave function collapse of all that systems. | 2019-04-20T01:15:15 | http://mnogo.truden.com/2009/03/god-for-scientists/ |
OK. The topic of hanging guitars on an "outside" wall came up the the 50th Anniversary thread. Figured I would bring this topic front and center.
broken, you said you ruined or almost ruined, a guitar by hanging it on a outside wall. Care to elaborate?
What is it about the outside wall that causes a problem? I understand that there will be temperature differentials from the outside to inside but why will that ruin a guitar?
It's especially true in winter when the wall is cooler and the space between the wall and guitar (1/2" - 1") of stagnant air will allow moisture to collect on the guitar surface, causing the wood to swell, which will pitch the neck forward . My oo is ok but the saddle is lower than it should be. If I had not noticed it in time it may have needed a reset.
Have you ever seen mold growing in the corner of a room where the air isn't circulated much? That's what happens behind the guitar when conditions are right.
I have many guitars on the wall right now. But I also monitor the humidity, and none ever hang on an outside wall. Also no direct sunlight falls on them.
The winter is different. The heating unit drys out the air, and even though I do use a humidifier, I case up most guitars. Also hygrometers are placed in all the rooms guitars are stored in and more.
Well, if it were not for air conditioning, Phoenix wouldn't have ever become a decent place to live. At least that's what they taught us in A/C school.
Pretty much. The population was around 50,000 until they invented A/C.
I have a friend who lives in Surprise AZ. He tells me they rise early and finish their business by ten am, then it is indoors for the rest of the day. Oh joy.
Anyway, I think the wall thing is obviously dependent on location and construction. I only hang my >$500 guitars but I've never felt much difference in wall temps, never had mold growing save for the closet of an old apartment I lived in once. The main reason I won't nice guitars on the walls is because I like to mitigate light and dust exposure, and because, if someone ever broke in, I'd rather them run off with a cheap one than an expensive one. | 2019-04-20T08:58:33 | http://www.larriveeforum.com/smf/index.php?action=printpage;topic=51379.0 |
In 2019, cyber threats promise to continue growing more persistent, more complex, and more threatening. As such, getting effective cyber threat intelligence to the people who need it in the government is essential for supporting this security strategy. We’ll briefly survey the relevant parts of the National Intelligence Strategy here and see how cyber threat intelligence supports its objectives.
Following these principles will lead to a more “fully integrated, agile, resilient, and innovative” American intelligence community, the report notes.
These guiding principles align well with the strengths of threat intelligence — distinctive, timely, and actionable insights that come from unparalleled access to information is the name of the game for real-time, automated threat intelligence. It’s exactly the kind of information that, for example, gives an understanding of the tactics, techniques, procedures, and motivations of threat actors and helps maintain awareness and increase incident response time, even as the threat landscape grows exponentially.
The report outlines three key ways the American intelligence community must strengthen intelligence capacities and meet the new challenges of the digital age, which are listed in the left column in the table below. The right column lists how cyber threat intelligence from Recorded Future can specifically address each of those needs.
Increase our awareness and understanding of adversaries’ use of cyber operations — including leadership plans, intentions, capabilities, and operations — to inform decisions and enable action.
For more information on how cyber threat intelligence can help the intelligence community rapidly harness enormous volumes of data, providing the potential for quality, rapid analysis and relevant insight to decision-makers globally, visit our government solutions page. | 2019-04-18T17:07:32 | https://www.recordedfuture.com/american-intelligence-community/ |

What does “unsuitability” mean in the context of broker misconduct?
Question: What does “unsuitability” mean in the context of broker misconduct?
Response: If you believe that your broker has breached their fiduciary duty to you by investing in unsuitable securities, you should immediately consult an experienced securities attorney. A broker has a duty to only recommend investments and trading strategies that are suitable for each individual client. A broker has a duty to collect all relevant information about her client to competently assess their risk tolerance. The broker must consider, among other things, the tax considerations for the client, the client's prior investment experiences and appetite for risk, and the level of return desired. A broker must also have a reasonable basis for her investment strategy, including but not limited to relying on her own research.
An investment may be unsuitable if the client does not have the financial ability to incur the risk associated with a particular investment or if the investment was not in line with the investor's financial needs.
For example, it might be “unsuitable” for a broker to heavily rely upon bonds and lower risk stocks for a retirement account for an older adult rather than investing in high risk stocks only. The issue is not whether a broker picked the right stock(s); the question is whether the broker picked the right type of investment. | 2019-04-23T15:57:28 | http://www.securitieslawfirms.com/legal-advice/unsuitability-broker-misconduct |
My name is Tomislav Milovic and I am twenty-three years old. I am currently on my second year of studies on Faculty of Engineering in Kragujevac. I used to play football professionally; I played with Radnicki, Teleoptik, and Klagenfurt. Now I make models, but I also produce fishing equipment, which was initiated by my father after he left Zastava. Also, I started my two YouTube channels, ManCave Gaming, on which I work with my brother, and Mind Creations, where I present my models made of can and some other creative stuff.
Were you surprised when a marketing team from Hell offered you a collaboration, and how did it affect your career?
I was surprised in a way, but not entirely. Of course I was amazed and thrilled when such a great company contacted me and wanted to collaborate with me. However, I knew that I was talented and that my models were not that easy to make, but I never expected for my talent to be noticed so quickly. Model making relaxes me and makes me do my best, and each model presents a new challenge for me. It is always a great pleasure when someone else likes your work and praises it, especially when it comes from one of the greatest companies. The collaboration with Hell energy drink company greatly affected my career. The models which I make as a promoting material for the company got attention not only in Serbia but also in other countries where Hell energy drink is popular. I have received some nice and positive comments from people all over the world, recommending me some new ideas for my further model collection. Also, I got invited to many international manifestations hosted by model makers as well as to events for the popular game WOT, since I had made tank models from that game.
As much as being a model maker may be interesting and tempting, the fact is that you cannot get paid well for that in Serbia. You could earn, let’s say, a pocket money or an average salary of around 300 euros. Of course, for every event you get invited to you need to pay for your own flight or accommodation, and those prices are rather high for our standards. But if you love what you do you can always find a way to fulfill all your wishes.
Could you reveal to us what your future plans regarding collaboration with Red Bull are?
Everybody has heard of Red Bull, and I believe that people who want to get a sponsorship wish to be part of it someday. As for my collaboration with them, I have to say that it is in its early stage, because we only discussed our options but nothing has been officially arranged yet. I hope they like my work, and that I will able to meet their demands, if they decide to collaborate with me.
When could we expect to see the new models, and are there going to be some novelties?
You can follow me on my channel Mind Creations, where I regularly post the new models once a month. Pretty soon I intend to make some new models but of different material. I have a variety of ideas and I hope I can realize all of them.
I am still not sure where do I see myself in five years, because, for one thing, wishes and possibilities are not always the same, and, also, I am yet to pave the way for my future. However, in five years I would like my new models to be even better than they are now, and I would like to be a part of a team which makes models, or even a marketing team for a great company. But, I have my whole life before me, so we’ll see.

It is always nice to see that band who are huge in the US film their DVD in Europe. Linkin Park, well known from hits like 'One Step Closer', 'Crawling' and 'In The End', filmed their latest effort Road To Revolution at Milton Keynes on June 29th in front of 50,000 people.
The package contains the show on both DVD and CD and includes extra bonus tracks on the DVD if you watch the entire show. Even though the set is filmed in an aggresive way, the complete show is extremely tight and it is great to see the sound is actually 'live' and extremely well mixed. After the hundreds of shows these guys played together you can clearly see they are an oiled machine on stage and the band is really entertaining the crowd. Special feature this night is the presence of Jay-Z, with who the band plays a couple of songs from the Collision Course album.
Personally I have always liked this band and their live performances, this DVD is a extremely good presentation of the capabilities of this band. They rock, period! And since the package also includes a normal CD with the set, you can listen to the concert everywhere. Bad thing is there is nothing more besides the show which makes the DVD less interesting. But in the end it is worth it when you like the band. | 2019-04-18T22:23:03 | https://www.metalrage.com/reviews/2617/linkin-park-road-to-revolution.html |

Marimekko's Joonas is a pattern designed by Maija Isola in 1961. The heavyweight cotton has been printed in Helsinki, Finland.
Maija Isola (1927–2001) is probably Marimekko’s most famous designer. The Finnish artist designed her first printed textiles in 1949 for Printex Oy, Marimekko’s predecessor. She worked as head designer of Marimekko’s interior fabrics until 1987. She also had an illustrious career as a visual artist.
Maija Isola was a tremendously versatile and bold artist. She interpreted the events of her era from her own unique perspective and foresaw future trends. Her body of work includes over 500 prints – a brilliant selection of patterns representing different themes and techniques. She drew inspiration from traditional folk art, modern visual art, nature and her countless trips around the world. In the 1980s, she began designing fabrics with her daughter, Kristina. Together they produced fresh floral fabrics, bold abstract patterns and ornamental designs that became Marimekko staples. When Maija passed away in 2001, Kristina carried on her mother’s tradition, producing new color waves of Maija’s classic designs.
Maija Isola’s most well-known pattern is the flowery Unikko. The Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics are designed at Marimekko. Maija Isola did not accept rules or restrictions and designed in protest a complete collection of bold floral patterns: Unikko, a Finnish word that means poppy. Today, Unikko is probably more popular than ever, and an innumerable amount of different Unikko pattern products is available. The range of available colours is also very large. | 2019-04-18T18:18:14 | https://www.finnishdesignshop.com/textiles-fabrics-marimekko-fabrics-joonas-fabric-whiteblack-p-643.html |

I have enhaced an FPM Application adding a button and using a custom OO Class AppCC to catch the event, and it is working fine 😉.
Now when this "new" button is pressed I need read some of the values the user entered in the form ( is a FPM_LIST_UIBB with inputfields, dropdowns, etc) inside the AppCC and I don´t know how to do it..
I´ve read about singleton, shared context, wiring .. but I don´t know how to apply those concepts inside my class ( because the AppCC is a class and not a web dynpro component ).
As per your requirement you can do the following.
1. First on the clicking of button get the entered data in your FLUSH method of list feeder and put it inoto the attribute of the class or in some shared class by set_value method.
2. Raise a custom event from process_event method after setting the value in attribute of the class.
3. Catch the custom event inside the APPCC class and get the entered value by get_value method and do your processing further.
You can do one more thing you can assign a custom event(ENTER) to your all input field into list.
Update the buffer attribute and set_value method on entering the value and pressing the ENTER.
After that press the new button and get the entered value by get_value method and do your processing further.
Attach your required field values as event parameters values to button event and read those in AppCC OVERRIDE_EVENT_ .
I recommend you to catch (and process) event in the feeder class in interested you FPM list configuration. You can enhance IF_FPM_GUIBB_LIST~GET_DATA method and use CT_DATA parameter which contains UI data of FPM component configuration.

The design of add-on sleeping accommodation for a rigid inflatable boat.
There is a gap in today’s market in the Rigid Inflatable Boat industry for an add-on sleeping accommodation to bridge the gap between Open Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) and Cabin RIBs. As the leisure market in the RIB industry is expanding continuously people want to take their boats further a field, but can not afford the price increase to a Cabin RIB therefore an interim method is required. Research data for popular sized RIBs, anthropometrics and ergonomics was collected and analysed to determine an ideal boat to base the accommodation on which fulfilled the design brief. Add-on accommodation was designed to fit a Gemini Waverider 730. The accommodation consists of a semi permanent fibreglass, 3-section structure, a fold down canvass shelter and an inner tent with built in groundsheet to sleep in. The canvass folds down from the roof section on the structure when stationary and the inner tent is then clipped in place. The design had to conform to towing regulations and the Recreational Craft Directives (RCD). The effect the accommodation has on the RIB was evaluated. As the accommodation was estimated to weigh 80kg, the trim and performance of the RIB would not be affected. The maximum stress on the structure was calculated to be 2.43MPa and the lifting force 1236N. | 2019-04-19T04:28:27 | http://ssudl.solent.ac.uk/1194/ |

Virtualization can help to increase efficiency and cut costs, making it a viable option in your medical practice; in the ongoing effort to optimize the power of your hardware equipment. However, key factors are at play when the conversation of virtualization arises.
So what is virtualization anyway?
Virtualization is the creation of a virtual environment for your operating system or even entire network server. The technology involved in virtualization started years ago, allowing network administrators to conserve excessive computing processing power. Now virtualization is the norm, in today’s highly technological world, spanning both small and large business alike; along with the entire infrastructure of Internet.
By utilizing the option of virtualization you can work towards improving the efficiency of your office or medical practice; allowing you to focus on what matters. | 2019-04-22T04:12:30 | https://www.yescorp.ca/2018/09/26/virtualization-can-help-to-increase-efficiency-and-cut-costs/ |

This week, one of the very few outspoken, “normal” (not involved in an extremely high-powered or extremely high-earning career), visible-online, relatable working moms that I am aware of announced that she had quit her job to stay home with her children.
I don’t begrudge anyone this privilege or opportunity or choice. In fact, if it was important to me, I could also be a stay-at-home parent. But I couldn’t help feeling a wave of disappointment at the loss of one of the few online voices of working moms like me: moms who work because they prefer to, who aren’t trauma surgeons whose work is “heroic,” who are professionals but who aren’t earning super impressive $300k salaries, who don’t trudge to work longing to spend more time with their kids, who aren’t made miserable by their dual role as breadwinner and parent.
Laying in bed last night, I thought, “I may just have one tiny little corner of the Internet to write about this, but why not put it out there? I know there are moms just like me who might stumble upon what I have to say and feel a helpful, supportive connection.” So I’m starting this series about being a working mom, and my only hope is that it helps one other woman feel like she’s perfectly normal and not at all alone.
After all, we shouldn’t feel alone! Almost half of all American mothers are full-time working mothers. But see the rest of that article? We also get a lot of feedback that tells us that we shouldn’t be working full-time, that working full-time is bad for our children and our marriages, and perhaps most importantly, that we shouldn’t want to or enjoy working full-time. When I returned to work after my son was born, people made a lot of assumptions about me. I heard, “It must be so hard to be away from him,” “It must have been tough to come back,” and even, “You must be saving for something.” None of those were true for me. I was thrilled to return to work. Of course, I am lucky enough to have an employer that understands that it’s a process: I returned to work full-time immediately, but I worked from home three days, then two days, and now one day per week.
It’s easy to feel like something is wrong with you when you’re a mother of young children who wants to work full-time, enjoys working full-time, and doesn’t long to be with her kids while at work. But why is any of that considered unusual? Men are expected to work full-time, to enjoy it, and to be satisfied with the amount of time they spend with their children. So why not women, too?
I know that I’m a great mother, but it took me a while to fully believe that in the face of feedback that told me that great mothers are with their kids 24/7 and don’t care about having careers.
More money. This is a simple one. It’s important to me to be able to go out for dinner, cook high-quality meals, entertain friends, dress well, improve my home, save for retirement, and go on vacations. With two incomes, all of these things are much easier to achieve, yes, even with the cost of childcare.
Higher-quality time. I’m not, have never been, and probably never will be someone who’s crazy for babies and toddlers. I love my child and I love spending time with him, but I get more out of that time when it isn’t 24/7. I enjoy my kid-time more when I also get time to not think about kid stuff at all and focus entirely on an editing project, producing a great piece of writing, or interpreting a tech white paper.
Changes for my child. We live in a small home, and we can only buy so many toys and travel to so many parks. When he’s at childcare, my kid gets a change of scene, some playmates, and caretakers who sing him different songs, talk about different items and activities, and play different games. This wasn’t very important when he was a baby, but as he grows older it’s really helpful. He’s excited to go to care and excited to be home.
Career limits. I feel limited both geographically and time-wise while I have very young children. Luckily I have a job that suits me perfectly, but if I lost it, I would not want to switch to a super long commute or to a position that might demand a lot of overtime or cause a lot of stress right now. Those options will have to wait a few more years.
The daily grind. Waking up and getting a kid ready for childcare in the mornings is definitely a chore! It takes a lot of planning and a very stable routine to get everyone out the door smoothly without forgetting anything vital.
Costs. Childcare costs money. So does having someone else clean my house and so do the occasional takeout meals, convenience food items, and lunches out that are necessities when both parents work. Luckily, at least where we live, those costs don’t come close to outweighing the financial benefit of two working spouses.
Let’s begin there. In my next post, I want to talk about some of the online working mom role models and inspirations I’ve found so far, and how they’ve helped me navigate this role. | 2019-04-18T10:55:50 | https://katharinestevenson.com/2018/04/27/working-mom-diaries-1-lets-begin-here/ |

Are there any specific data needs or dataset or indicators that you want collected or have planned?
Is there any sample data collected in one country that you want expanded to others?
Yes, there are specific data needs that we have identified and that the World Bank, with others, will focus on addressing. Following the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals UNDP led a global consultative process, in which the World Bank participated, that resulted in consensus on the highest priorities for addressing the LGBTI data gaps. These priorities all fall within 5 categories: political and civic participation; personal security and violence; economic wellbeing; health; and education. The World Bank will now lead, with UNDP, the second part of this global consultative process which will focus on arriving at consensus on the most important/relevant indicators under each of those 5 priority areas. Once identified, these indicators will be foundational for new research and data collection efforts on the lives of LGBTI people. As well, the World Bank has a particular interest in new data collection efforts as relates to education, as well as economic opportunity. | 2019-04-21T10:41:34 | http://blogs.worldbank.org/voices/voices/fight-discrimination-we-need-fill-lgbti-data-gap |

Despite the messy plot, 'Sorry to Bother You' is a Sundance standout.
Sorry to bother you, one of the standout films of the Sundance film festival, provides a fresh and insightful commentary on a host of issues to do with Western culture.
The film, directed by Boots Riley, is based in Oakland, California in the US. The plot centres around young black telemarketer Cassius “Cash” Green (Lakeith Stanfield) who discovers he has the power to sell anything using his “white voice” (voiced by David Cross). After harnessing this ability, things start to go his way and he quickly begins to climb the corporate ladder.
He gets a big promotion at the same time his friend Squeeze (Steven Yuen) organises a union to lobby for better payment and treatment for the rest of the telemarketing staff. From then on, Cash fights a difficult battle between his desire for money, success and the self-esteem that comes with it, and staying loyal to his grassroots friends as opposed to “selling out” to the corporate giant.
At the same time, Cash reveals he wants to appear successful to his long-time girlfriend, the artistic and outspoken Detroit (Tessa Thompson). But her affection starts to wane the more successful he becomes.
His dilemma comes to a climax when he meets Steve Lift (Armie Hammer), a drug addict and a CEO, who presents Cash with an incredibly bizarre but lucrative offer that is difficult to refuse.
Boots Riley does an excellent job of bringing the audience along on Cash’s journey. His inner struggle is palpable and, throughout the story, what the “right” thing for him to do is as unclear to him as it is to the audience. On the one hand, he grew up in poverty, has self-esteem issues, and desperately needs money to help his uncle keep his house. On the other hand, he cares about his friends, wants to help them, and hates when they, along with Detroit, start looking at him as a corporate drone.
The movie has a strong artistic touch. but flows often between funny and dark subject matters, which was jarring at times. Riley himself described the film as “an absurdist dark comedy with aspects of magical realism and science fiction inspired by the world of telemarketing.” Some of the topics touched on include race relations, the pros and cons of capitalism, and the ethics and definition of slavery.
The weakness of the film is that while the plot was purposeful and the social commentary rich, there were some things that seemed to serve no purpose. For example, there was a very forced, brief, and barely-talked about affair between Detroit and Squeeze. Why was this part of the film when those two are meant to be likeable characters?
The plot gets progressively messier, and despite its attempt to tie everything together neatly, it actually feels rather clunky and silly. Nonetheless, Sorry to Bother You is still a very enjoyable film, filled with ambition and original ideas while touching upon topics that definitely need further discussion. | 2019-04-20T00:31:37 | https://yp.scmp.com/entertainment/movies/article/110302/%E2%80%98sorry-bother-you%E2%80%99-one-standout-films-sundance-film-festival |

This year, iPest Solutions and the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) are working to spread public awareness about termites during Termite Awareness Week, March 10-16, 2019. With spring just around the corner, termites will begin swarming and could seek out your home for their new nesting space. To help you prevent a termite infestation, iPest Solutions is educating homeowners on three things they could be doing to attract termites.
Storing firewood too close to property: Many homeowners keep firewood stacked against their home or on the stoop for easy access. This is appealing to termites and can draw them toward a home and provide a point of entry. Instead, store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house and five inches off the ground. Also, be careful of leaving stumps and dead trees in the yard. Rotting wood material can serve as termite fuel and eventually result in termites entering the home.
Clogged gutters: Cleaning the gutters is a necessary part of termite prevention. Termites love moisture and clogged gutters can cause water to pool and make insulation vulnerable to these wood-destroying pests.
Mulch: Mulch is frequently used near the home and against the foundation and can serve as a source of food for termites. It also retains moisture, which attracts these destructive pests. Minimize the usage of wood mulch and keep it at least 15 inches from the foundation.
Are The Desert Termites Of Texas Considered Pests?
More than a dozen termite species dwell within the arid and semi-arid southwest US region. These termites are mostly subterranean species, but a few drywood species have also established a habitat within the region. Termites are the most well known of the few insect groups that consume wood. Considering that termites inflict billions of dollars in damage annually within the US alone, it should not be lost on anyone that termites are destructive to timber-framed homes and some species inflict damage to tree species as well. The high cost of termite damage certainly does not make termites endearing creatures, but if there is one termite species dwelling within America that is worth being spared the hate that so many people feel toward termites, then it would definitely be the Gnathamitermes tubiformans, or the desert termite, as they are more commonly known. Although these termites dwell within Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, they are particularly abundant within the expansive grassy savanna region of western Texas.
Unlike most termite species within the US, desert termites are not structural pests. In fact, desert termites don’t even consume wood, if that can be conceived; instead, desert termites consume both living and dried forms of vegetation, mostly grass and legumes. Desert termites are notable for consuming massive amounts of grass, far more than livestock consume within the state. Amazingly, during this species’ most active period from May through September in Texas, up to six percent of shortgrass grazeland can become covered in carton tubes created by these termites. These carton tubes become particularly abundant during dry seasons and on areas of overgrazed land. Although desert termites are certainly not structural pests, they can reduce the amount of food available to livestock. Desert termites can also be a nuisance to homeowners in residential and rural areas of Texas, as their seasonal swarms can become overwhelming and can occur within homes. For example, residents of Lubbock were forced to endure long periods of heavy desert termite swarming activity during the summer of 2017.
Do you know of any other termite species that is considered harmless to structures in the US?

Although church attendance has been declining during recent decades, most people still cannot help but to associate organ music with the church-going experience. Christian churches have long made use of organ music during group choirs and at the beginning and end of church services. When the modern pipe organ was in its infancy, the music was enjoyed as a secular form of entertainment, but the large instruments eventually came to be associated with the Catholic Church. However, pipe organs can now be found within many Christian churches. As you may already know, pipe organs are the largest musical instruments, so they are not always ideal for use in small chapels. Luckily for organ-lovers, a smaller and much cheaper version of the pipe organ was developed and sold within the United States and Europe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. These organs produced sound through reeds, as opposed to pipes. These organs are known as pump organs, or reed organs, and they were common in people’s homes and small churches during the last two centuries. However, the invention of the electronic organ during the 1930s resulted in the eventual discontinuation of pump organ manufacturing. Today pump organs are rare, and most of them that still exist have been restored by antique collectors. Not surprisingly, pump organs are considered valuable relics of the past that can sell for significant amounts of money. Sadly, one of the world’s most well-known pump organs sustained serious termite damages while being displayed in an old chapel located in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Back in 1984, an Etsy-brand pump organ that was built in 1890 had been donated to the newly built Mission Chapel that was, and still is, located on the premises of the Polynesian Cultural Center in Honolulu. Although the pump organ was well cared for after it was donated, years of humidity and pests had rendered the instrument unplayable, and structurally compromised. The most recent, and only successful attempt at restoring the pump organ involved a piece-by-piece disassembly, and many portions of replacement wood. The restoration effort lasted for an entire year, and termite damage beneath the organ’s keys nearly made the instrument a total loss. Each of the sixty one keys had to be replaced as they were all damaged by termites. After many prayers, the restoration attempt proved to be a success, and the refurbished pump organ can now be heard in all of its glory by tourists visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Do you think that the conditions within the wooden pump organ provided the invading termites with all of the sustenance and nourishment that they needed to survive?
How Have Formosan Subterranean Termites Traveled To Regions Well Outside Of Their Habitat Range?
If you live in the United States, especially the southeast, then there is a good chance that you have heard of the termite species commonly known as Formosan subterranean termites. These termites are unique in how tremendously damaging they are to timber-framed homes and other structures. In fact, these termites are considered by experts to be the most damaging species of termite in existence. Formosan termites are also well known to people living in other countries around the world, especially China where the termites are native. Since the southeast was hit with several hurricanes this year, there has been much talk in the media about how hurricanes seem to increase the number of homes infested with termites. It has been theorized that hurricanes and the flood waters that result literally wash termites into homes. Now that Hurricane Florence has subsided, and the resultant floodwaters are receding, cleanup crews are finding numerous structures that have become infested with Formosan subterranean termites. Not only do these findings confirm that hurricanes can, indeed, result in an increase in termite infestations, but hurricanes are causing many more types of termite-related issues that had not been considered before.
While it would seem that termites would be unable to survive hurricanes and floods, the fact is that termites can survive underwater for as long as 20 hours. Termites can drown if floodwaters persist for days, but most survive. After all, subterranean termites can survive 30 feet below the ground for long periods. Flood waters can literally carry Formosan termites to new locations where they had not existed before, and the plant debris that is abundant in flood waters provides termites with plenty of sustenance. Formosan termites that infest trees can survive on tree debris floating in floodwaters. Not only this, but after hurricanes and floods, cleanup workers collect massive amounts of wood debris from structures that are often saved and transported for second-hand use in other states. Since this wood debris is piled up, it does not take long for Formosan termites to spread to the entire pile. This is especially true when it comes to Formosans, as their colonies contain tens of millions of individual termites that reproduce rapidly. For example, several years ago, wood that had been infested with Formosans were transported to other states to be used as railroad ties. This practice led to the establishment of Formosans in Atlanta, where they had never been found before. Also, in Louisiana, where Formosans are at their most abundant, local sawmills had become infested. These sawmills produced sawdust-waste that people used for mulch. Of course, this also spread the insects beyond their habitat range. Due to the risk of transporting termite-infested wood after hurricanes and floods, experts are recommending that all wood debris collected should be heat treated before being transported to other states.
Do you think that people are not inclined to consider termite issues after hurricanes and floods given the amount of problems that they already face after floods and hurricanes?

Age you entered trade and how – I entered at age 22. I did a training course with fusion training after which I did a few weeks of work experience I got offered a job as a shopfitter.
What attracted you to your trade – After studying at university for a few years I decided a desk job wasn’t for me. I did a course at Fusion training solutions that was a trades taster and enjoyed the more physical aspects of trades. I enjoy working with my hands and the practical nature of a trade.
What challenges did you face – Honestly I do not feel like I had many challenges getting into the trade. I did some work experience and then was given a job.
What kept you going? The satisfaction of completing jobs and seeing projects installed and completed. The company I am in, PKJ, do a lot of really amazing and intricate joinery.
What makes you really proud – Completing a difficult task well. Seeing something go from a plan to a physical function object. Knowing that you created something with your own hands.
What do you believe are the benefits of working in a trade as opposed to more traditional employment – It keeps you fit. My house has benefited from skilled hands. Trades adapt and change rapidly to changes in technology and consumer needs so you are always learning new things. You rarely do the exact same thing twice.
What do you love most about your trade – The thing I love most about shop fitting is being able to do my own home improvements and make my own furniture.
What triumphs have you had – Getting the job was a triumph for me. Other triumphs include all the home improvements I have done and excelling at tafe.
What do you do in your spare time – Dabble in woodworking, drawing and computer games. Play with my dog and garden. | 2019-04-20T10:54:09 | https://saltaustralia.org.au/zillah-thorn/ |

Not a phrase you expect to hear in Ron Howard’s voice, but when it comes to the most appropriate voice for a show’s narrator Howard and Arrested Development have an amazing connection!
To me, Howard will always be Opie, and so some phrases he narrates in AD come across as absurdly adult from a little boy’s voice. The sheer variety of antics, bizarre situations, and high-low brow humour, gives narration the force that brings it all together. | 2019-04-26T10:57:40 | https://gypsypen.com/2016/05/20/primo-bud-says-opie/ |
Six months, nine countries and 15,ooo km later, our first camper trip around Europe is done for me and my family. It only wrapped-up two months ago, but the gap feels longer now that we have moved to Taiwan, settling into a less nomadic life.
As we rolled with the retirees across various campsites, we discovered that Europe is bigger than our Austral brains imagined, and one big trip ain’t enough to see it all.
Somewhere in France, but part of a bigger trail.
As always, there is more to show, but in this post I focused on Ormeo and Orio, as they were places where snaps came together.

Thanks for your advice, my letter writers told me that I can expect very strong letters from them, so I'm hoping they will help (especially for making up those poor grades in math & econ..) Any other thoughts will be very much appreciated!
Hey all, I just realized I recorded my GPAs wrong in the original post.. my Overall GPA is 3.66/4.0 (not 3.67) and my last four semester GPA is 3.84/4.0 (not 3.87). My guess is that I made a typo in the overall GPA and computed my four semester GPA wrong.. (but these should be correct). It's a minor change, but do you guys think these will change/worsen my chances?

It was my first travel to East Africa. Since this time, I can not forget this land. People say, you love it or you hate it. One question bothered me again and again: Is it the land or the people that magically drew me?
For me, it is pure adrenaline, to see a tall giraffe, a dosing lion or all the other animal beauties right in front of me. I sometimes didn’t know, should I film or should I take a picture. I wanted to take everything of that with me. It was breathtaking!
Soon I noticed that there is a lack between the things I saw in the national parks and the real life outside the parks. But it was only after I saw the guide taking the rest of our packed lunches for his family that I realized how enormous poverty in Tanzania really is.
The need to help was born in this moment. I promised the guide to send some money in the Christmas time. There upon the family invited me and three month later I travelled to Africa on my own for the first time.
Today, after many journeys to Africa, I still see the beauty of the land, but I experience only infinite poverty, I experience brackish water that is drunk, I see equipment and tools that look like being out of Stone Age, I see great children eyes that are glaring in spite of hunger, I see myself and my friends in Germany for which this life is hard to believe.
I want to help and I ask everyone to support me and my organization. | 2019-04-20T06:20:37 | http://www.eifel-tansania.de/en/ |

The bonkers projector-packing Samsung Galaxy Beam is coming this summer, and will cost just shy of £400 SIM-free.
Samsung's Galaxy Beam -- the phone with a projector built-in for no reason other than "hey, why not?" -- will cost just short of £400 when it goes on sale this summer.
Unlocked Mobiles has priced it up at £385 including VAT. The handset will go on sale in July -- not an ideal time of year to use a projector, with all that pesky daylight about, but there you are. At least it'll be a good test for Samsung's 15 lumens projector-in-a-phone.
Luke went hands-on with the Beam out at MWC, so have a read of what he thought here, or watch his preview video below.
The Beam shoots out images at up to 50 inches across, so you can have the equivalent of a very large telly in your pocket wherever you go. It's HD too. You control the projector through a dedicated app on the 4-inch, 480x800-pixel screen. On the back is a 5-megapixel camera, and it'll record and playback movies in 720p HD at 30fps.
Software-wise, we're looking at Android 2.3 Gingerbread as opposed to Ice Cream Sandwich, so you won't be able to unlock it with facial recognition, or resize your widgets. On board storage is 8GB, but you can add another 32GB via microSD. And a 1GHz dual-core processor powers the phone.
The projector makes the handset a little fatter than most, and has undoubtedly bumped up the price as well. It's cheaper than the HTC One X, for example, but a lot less powerful.
Though it may seem quite innovative, Samsung actually demoed the Beam back in 2010, when it was just a protoype.
We're still pounding the halls at Mobile World Congress, so for everything mobile check out mwc.cnet.co.uk. Let me know if you'll be buying the Galaxy Beam over on our Facebook page, or in the comments below. | 2019-04-23T10:16:59 | https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-beam-priced-at-385-projected-to-arrive-july/ |

"We are going (to Michigan) with a lot more confidence, because we ran well there last year," Earnhardt said. "I looked through the notes from last year, and we didn't unload perfect. We had to work to get it right. You don't go in with confidence that you are going to go there, and it will be perfect. You have the confidence to know that we will get it dialed in."
When the series competed at Michigan in June 2012, it was the first time on the track's new pavement. The repaving began after the August 2011 race and concluded in November, giving the asphalt enough time to settle and cure during the winter months. The new surface on this 2-mile track produced record speeds. Marcos Ambrose won the pole at Michigan one year ago when he easily shattered the track qualifying record with a lap at 203.241 mph. Forty drivers in that qualifying session posted a faster speed than the previous track record of 194.232 mph, set by Ryan Newman in 2005. Nineteen drivers topped 200 mph.
However, teams were faced with a huge tire issue in the days leading up to the race. Several teams experienced tire blistering during Friday's practice session as well as on the extra day of practice on Thursday. NASCAR and Goodyear made the decision to use a tougher left-side tire for the race. The higher than expected speeds at Michigan caused significantly higher left-side tire temperatures and therefore blistering.
An additional practice was held the day before the race. Teams had 75 minutes to familiarize themselves with the new tires and make further adjustments to their race setups. Earnhardt Jr. was one of those drivers who was limited on his practice time due to engine concerns. He complained that his car wasn't as good as he wanted it to be after completing just 26 laps in the last practice.
But Earnhardt put on a dominating performance in the 400-mile event. He led a total of 95 laps and crossed the finish line ahead of his closest competitor, Tony Stewart, by more than 5 seconds for his 19th career Sprint Cup victory.
Right now, Earnhardt sits fourth in the point standings. He moved up two positions after his top-five run at Pocono.
"We have been carrying momentum for a good solid year now," he said. "We are alright, and we know what we need to do."
Earnhardt trails leader and Hendrick teammate Jimmie Johnson by 82 points. Johnson claimed his third win of the season at Pocono, placing him in a tie with Matt Kenseth for most victories in the series this year.
Michigan is one of five tracks on the current Sprint Cup schedule where Johnson has yet to win. Chicagoland, Homestead, Kentucky and Watkins Glen are the others.
Last June at Michigan, Johnson nearly ran out of gas but managed to pull off a fifth-place finish. But that was followed by a 27th-place result in August due to engine failure just before the finish.
"The Michigan track surface has had summer and winter on it, and we'll see how much grip is just in the surface," Johnson said. "I would assume we'll go as fast as we did (last year) if not faster, and with the flatter track, I think the Gen-6 (new Sprint Cup race car) will outperform the Gen-5. The question really comes down to how much grip is still in the asphalt. I would assume it's going to be high.
"On fresh repaves, the grip is always at its highest. I'm not exactly sure how that will play out, but I'm happy that a summer and a winter have been on the track. It will make the racing wider for us, and that's what we're all hoping for. We've had weird things happen at Michigan, but one of these times it (a win) will happen for us. I hope it's this year."
Greg Biffle won the most recent Sprint Cup race at Michigan last August. Biffle is coming off a season-best second-place finish at Pocono. He is now 10th in points.
"I couldn't be happier coming off the run at Pocono going into Michigan," Biffle said. "We finished fourth the first race and got a win there last year at Michigan. We are working hard on our cars, trying to get them better, but we still have a little work to do.
"Michigan is one of my favorite tracks. It's a big fast place and has lots of room to race. We can get strung out a bit, but there is always something going on, someone is always catching someone else. There is always a lot of strategy going on. Fuel mileage and pit stops are very important. I've had a lot of success at Michigan in the past, and I think this will be a good weekend for us."
Forty-four teams are on the preliminary entry list for the Quicken Loans 400. A.J. Allmendinger and Bobby Labonte will switch rides for this race. Allmendinger is scheduled to drive the No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing Toyota, while Labonte is slated for a ride in the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevrolet.

Bill Brooker, Commercial Account Executive, discusses his interactions with a commercial customer in regard to an insurance review of the coverage on one of their large office buildings.

Use the Bank of America Home Loan Assistance Glossary to gain a better understanding of commonly used mortgage loan terms and refinance terms, as well as foreclosure, short sale, deed in lieu and other home loan assistance terms explained in simple language so you can find the help you need.
A mortgage or home equity loan in which your interest rate and monthly payments may change periodically during the life of the loan, based on the fluctuation of an index. Lenders may charge a lower interest rate for the initial period of the loan. Most ARMs have a rate cap that limits the amount the interest rate can change, both in an adjustment period and over the life of the loan. Also called a variable-rate mortgage.
The professional opinion of a licensed and independent Appraiser about the value of your home. The Appraiser visits the home, evaluates its interior and exterior condition, and compares the property to other homes recently sold in the area.
The estimated value of your property as determined by a Real Estate Broker, firm or other qualified individual.
The Agent who represents the buyer in a real estate transaction.
The costs that a seller may pay on behalf of a buyer. Non-recurring costs are one-time costs such as escrow, title insurance and loan fees. Recurring costs are those that do not end, such as property taxes and/or insurance.
Used to bring a loan in default current by adding delinquent and unpaid interest, fees and/or escrow advances to the unpaid principal balance of the loan.
Depending upon your financial situation and at the investor's discretion, a cash contribution or promissory note for future payment may be requested. A contribution does not always imply that the remaining deficiency will be waived.
A document issued by a local jurisdiction certifying that all building codes have been met and that your home has been properly inspected.
A title that is marketable and free of liens or legal questions regarding ownership of the property.
This program may help you avoid foreclosure if you owe more on your mortgage than your house is worth. It also offers relocation assistance to help with moving expenses.
Used as an alternative to foreclosure, a deed in lieu of foreclosure is where you sign over the deed to your property to the lender because you are unable to make your mortgage payments. May also be referred to as deed in lieu or 'voluntary conveyance.' A deed in lieu of foreclosure will have a negative impact on your credit.
If you are unable to keep your payments up to date or meet the other terms of your loan outlined in your mortgage loan documents, your loan is considered to be in default.
If you are facing a temporary hardship, your lender may offer you a deferment. A deferment is a postponement of your home loan payments for a set period of time. This does not release you from having to pay interest on those amounts, but you can defer or postpone having to make those payments for an agreed-upon number of months as temporary relief during a hardship period. After that period is over, your lender will work with you to develop a repayment plan that allows you to make your regularly scheduled mortgage payments plus pay off these deferred payments over time.
A delinquency cycle is the time between you missing your first mortgage payment and the foreclosure of your home. Being in the “delinquency cycle” does not automatically mean you’ll lose your home to foreclosure. This is a crucial time to reach out and get help. The sooner you take action by contacting your bank, the more options you’ll have available to you.
This is where your lender collects part of your mortgage payment in a special account to pay your taxes and insurance premiums when they become due. The amount in this account is based on the estimated amount necessary to pay these obligations each year.
If you’re experiencing a temporary hardship and are less than 90 days behind on your home loan payments, you may be eligible for an extension. An extension is where your lender agrees to suspend a number of your home loan payments for a period of time and add those payments to the back end of your loan – extending the length of your loan term. To be considered for an extension, you must be able to show that you have the ability to make future payments.
The likely selling price of a home between a willing buyer and a willing seller on the open market. The Fair Market Value is usually determined by an Appraiser for a new mortgage or home equity loan. For a short sale, a specialist works on behalf of the investor to get the best possible fair market value.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is a U.S. government agency that insures mortgages to provide options to low and moderate income home buyers that may not be available through conventional financing.
For customers with a loan that is guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), this program offers loan modifications that help create affordable and sustainable monthly mortgage payments. All modifications begin on a trial basis but are made permanent after you successfully make trial period payments over a 3-month period and provide all required documentation that supports eligibility for the program.
A temporary agreement between you and your lender to postpone your loan payments for a set period of time during a temporary hardship. Acceptable hardships may vary from case to case and can include job loss, illness, divorce, etc. At the end of the postponement, you can choose to pay the overdue payments with a one-time payment, add the past due amount to the back-end of your mortgage, or increase the amount of your monthly mortgage payments until the past due amount is repaid.
A legal procedure where a lender sells a property securing a mortgage loan at a public auction or sale to repay a borrower's defaulted loan. Foreclosure proceedings typically begin after you have made no payments for 60 days or more. If there are no successful third party bidders at the foreclosure auction, title to the property will be transferred to the lender, which may then market and sell the property (known as an REO property) to recover its losses on the loan.
A letter to your lender that explains the circumstances behind your inability to pay your monthly home loan payments. Your lender will request this letter if you seek a short sale, or wish to refinance or modify your loan.
Home depreciation is a drop in the value of your property for any reason (home deterioration or damage, market conditions, weak economy, etc.).
A line of credit secured by the equity in a borrower's residence. It can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation, and other major purchases or expenses. At closing, a credit limit is established. In most cases, the borrower can access the line of credit by a variety of access devices, such as convenience checks, debit cards, and credit cards. A Home Equity Line of Credit is a type of a second mortgage.
A loan secured by the equity in a borrower's residence. It can be used for home improvements, debt consolidation, and other major purchases or expenses. On the funding date, all of the principal is advanced for the benefit of the borrower(s). A Home Equity Loan is generally a type of a second mortgage.
Keeping your home in the face of foreclosure is home retention. Home retention options generally involve loan modifications, forbearance or deferment, and repayment plans. Asking for home retention help when you first recognize an inability to make your mortgage payments is the best strategy to try to keep your home.
The HOPE for Homeowners program will refinance mortgages for borrowers who are having difficulty making their payments and are at risk of foreclosure but can afford a new loan insured by HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
When a borrower is current on their mortgage loan but is at risk of not being able to continue paying the monthly home loan payments due to financial hardship.
The person or institution that owns the mortgages or mortgage-backed securities, providing the funds that the homeowner is able to borrow to purchase a property. Many loans have multiple investors, and each investor can set different policies regarding available remedies for loans in default.
If you choose to sell your home for less than what is owed on the mortgage in a short sale, your loan servicer must obtain approval from the owner of your mortgage. The investor will make a 'yes' or 'no' decision that Bank of America is legally obligated to follow.
The legal claim a creditor has to a property that is used as collateral or security for repayment of a debt. All outstanding liens must be paid before ownership of a property can be transferred from one party to another.
The licensed Real Estate Agent who works with a homeowner to list the property for sale, market the property, and solicit offers to buy the property.
A loan modification is a change to the original terms of your loan. Loan modifications could include lowering your interest rate, extending the term or maturity date of the loan, moving from an adjustable to a fixed-rate loan, deferring some portion of the unpaid principal balance to the end of the loan, and/or forgiving some portion of the unpaid principal balance.
Loss mitigation is the process of you and your lender working together to come up with a solution for avoiding foreclosure when possible. Includes home retention options as well as short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Marketability refers to the “sale-ability” of your home. The marketability of your house is based on its location, size, condition and the condition of the local housing market in general.
A loan modification is a change to the original terms of your loan. Loan modifications could include lowering your interest rate, extending the term or maturity date of the loan, moving you from an adjustable to a fixed-rate loan, deferring some portion of the unpaid principal balance to the end of the loan, and/or forgiving some portion of the unpaid principal balance.
A type of insurance that protects lenders against some or most of the losses that can occur when a borrower defaults on a mortgage loan. Also known as private mortgage insurance or PMI. A short sale will often require the mortgage insurer’s approval.
A partial claim is a no-interest or low-interest loan given to you by a lender to help you pay back any missing or partial mortgage payments and default-related fees. This is a one-time only loan. The partial claim loan is paid back when your mortgage loan is paid off.
A comparison of the last appraisal with a current broker price opinion (BPO) to update the current market value of a property. Once received, this value is good for up to 90 days and supersedes the original appraisal for marketing purposes.
The redemption period takes place after foreclosure sale of a home in certain states where a homeowner cannot be removed or evicted from their home. This provides the homeowner additional time to pay off the loan in full to avoid foreclosure.
Paying off your existing loan with the proceeds from a new loan in order to take advantage of lower interest rates and other more favorable loan terms.
The traditional term for a home equity loan or line of credit because it is generally not the first or primary lien on the title, which usually is made to purchase the home.
If you can no longer afford to make your mortgage payments and your house is worth less than you owe, a short sale allows you to sell your house at the current fair market value. You then have the option to move to a more affordable situation. Because the proceeds from the sale may not pay off all that you owe, the investor or owner of your loan must approve the sale. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for a deficiency waiver. In that case, you will not be required to repay any remaining loan balance after the sale.
When putting your house on the market, the goal is to market and sell your house for an amount greater than any and all outstanding liens against the property. Liens include all mortgages, escrows and fees on the property. For further clarification on liens and related restrictions, please contact a licensed real estate agent.
The physical letter issued after the investor agrees to the terms that will permit the short sale of your house.
This form allows an individual, or an outside third party such as your bank, to verify tax information reported on a federal income tax return for one or more years. IRS Form 4506-T adds convenience by giving you one piece of paper to sign and return as opposed to collecting years of tax documents, making copies and sending those in.
A temporary hardship is a situation where you experience a loss of income but the circumstances have an end in sight, such as a medical condition that temporarily prevents you from working or a natural disaster.
The process followed when an offer has been received prior to obtaining permission to pursue a short sale. | 2019-04-23T04:41:02 | https://homeloanhelp.bankofamerica.com/en/glossary.html |
With so many amazing cosplay pictures out there it’s become much harder to really blow me away and really make me sit up and pay attention. Today a cosplayer called Peyton Riley achieved exactly that with her unbelievable Elizabeth cosplay.
Regular visitors to this blog will know that Kat and I are HUGE Bioshock fans and she’s also going to be doing an Elizabeth cosplay for Thought Bubble in Leeds this year. I’ll get pictures of her at the convention in November and upload them after that weekend.
For now our focus is on Peyton, an Argentinian lady who, with the help of a few friends, has created a set of pictures any cosplayer would be incredibly happy with.
It’s not only myself that they’ve made an impression on either. Bioshock creative director and co-founder of Irrational Games Ken Levine tweeted a link to them to all of his followers. All of the opinions I’ve read so far have been positive and I add my own to that.
Last year I posted a Bioshock cosplay costumes showcase containing a mix of Little Sister, Big Daddy and Elizabeth cosplay pictures. This set of Elizabeth cosplay pictures are some the best I’ve ever seen and I’m sure you’ll thoroughly enjoy them too.
1. Firstly thank you so much for doing this interview. I found one of your Elizabeth cosplay pictures on Tumblr and was blown away with the set you did.
2. So, what’s it like to be famous? We noticed that Ken Levine tweeted about your fantastic Elizabeth cosplay. Has the response been good?
Haha, I don’t think I can be considered famous. Yes, Ken shared me on his Facebook and twitter, the official Facebook page for Bioshock also shared me. I was so surprised that my picture made such an impact because I didn’t think it was worth this much hassle hehe. It felt really good to have people actually like my work because there is a lot of love put into it.
3. Are you a fan of the Bioshock series? Have you played them all? Which is your favourite of the series and why?
I actually haven’t. I don’t have time! I’ve only played Bioshock Infinite and the Burial at Sea DLC’s. I wasn’t really into FPS’s before and now I rarely have time because I work. I will try my best to get it played soon, the list of games that I’m due to play is long! Infinite really changed my perspective about FPS’s and it appealed more to me than any of the other games in the Bioshock series. That’s probably why I tried it out in the first place.
4. Did you make the costume yourself?
Yes, all my costumes are made by me. I actually make costumes for a living, so I’m used to making costumes and patterns from scratch.
5. Tell us about the photoshoot and the people involved in it. Where was it shot?
The first photoshoot is based on episode I. We took the shoot in a historic building from the ’20s here that seemed to me to be perfect to recreate the ambiance of Rapture. All the structure you see is real, except for Rapture in the back hehe.
6. Did you study Elizabeth as the character at all? The poses that you do in the pictures are bang on!
I always try to embody the character as best as possible. It was kinda hard to know what to do really on the first shoot because the DLC hadn’t been released yet, so I thought about Elizabeth behaved when under fire in Columbia, but with that added sass she has in Rapture. And apparently I did a good job because the poses are quite similar, she’s even in an elevator! For the second shoot, I went to Paris and I wanted pictures that resembled the look of the city when episode II begins, those bright colors and happy vibe it has.
7. Are you going to do any other Elizabeth cosplay? Maybe the Bioshock Infinite version?
I have actually made both of those already! Just haven’t been able to take pictures with them. Here are a picture of each as proof.
8. How long have you been cosplaying for? Do you attend any conventions in costume?
9. Do you have a favourite cosplayer or people you take inspiration from?
I do actually! A cosplayer from Russia called ryoko-demon, she’s soooo talented I want to cry! Also, nebulaluben (on dA), she’s Spanish and I love how her photoshoots always reflect the costume setting so perfectly. And lastly, my friend Rose from ER collective. She is insanely talented and her costumes are perfect and she doesn’t get nearly as much recognition as she deserves, so go send her love from me!
10. Who else have you cosplayed as? Has Elizabeth been your favourite to date?
I don’t think I have a favorite because they’re all so different and I haven’t played that many characters, ask me again in a year and I’ll tell you!
11. Do you have any other cosplay costumes in the works?
More like 15+ hahaha. I recently finished an Effie Trinket costume from the movie Catching Fire, and I also plan to make at least one more. I have about 5 costumes in progress and more I wanna start but i’m very fluctuating in my mood so I always wanna work on a different one, that’s probably why I have so few finished!
12. If money was no object, which character would you cosplay as?
I’m starting a few costumes which will be quite expensive (one of those is Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby, the gemstone dress she wears to Gatsby’s party), but I guess maybe an armor would be ideal since I’ve wanted to work with worbla for the longest time but it would be very expensive if imported here haha!
If you like the Elizabeth cosplay you’ve seen here you’ll be interested in seeing more cosplay from Peyton. You can see more pictures of her in cosplay on her Deviant Art page. | 2019-04-25T00:44:32 | http://blog.otleyrunfancydress.co.uk/2014/07/08/bioshock-elizabeth-cosplay/ |

It sounds as though you and I were having the same sort of day yesterday. I have such great plans and then they seem to evaporate around me. Part of my problem is that I make more plans than I have the day to fill, if that makes any sort of sense at all, and in a panic none of them get fulfilled. I could do with a book that isn't going to ask a lot of me at the moment, having just come out of a very dense William Trevor. This might be just the answer.
This sounds a good book, and just short and long enough to keep it interesting especially when the whole week seems against you!
Annie - it makes perfect sense, I forget (or at least this is my explination) that by day off time I'm tired so have this long list of tasks and no energy so not much hope of getting through them.
Josbookjourney - I can read almost anything if it's short enough!
This sounds fantastic! I am going to see if the library has it. What a shame that you can't find out much about the author - I am clueless myself, I'm afraid!

The student whose reflective statement appears below chose to focus on the way her sources represented a 1950s version of womanhood. The final product was housed inside a DVD case for the film Mona Lisa Smile, within which the bulk of the author’s research was contained in a thick “chapter” booklet.
My goals for this piece were to reflect the data through my representation of the data the sources themselves were presented to society. Many of my sources came from different forms of media and therefore I wanted to present my analysis of the sources in the form of a media source. I wanted the reader/viewer to experience the intake of information like women in the fifties did when presented with media from that era. The argument that I make in this piece is that media from the 1950s impact the dreams of women in that day. I argue that the media has messages behind it that influence women to choose the life of being a housewife. I believe that the media was a strong force in that day and women were highly impressionable by the media. The sources that I have chosen for this project are either artifacts of media in the fifties or they are articles from today and they discuss the impact of media on women in that day. | 2019-04-18T17:09:15 | http://composing.org/wrd103wq2015/remix-statement/ |
‘Super Troopers’ stars set their new firefighter comedy, ‘Tacoma FD,’ in our region. Why?
Firefighters in the Pacific Northwest are becoming a mini-theme on TV, albeit for different reasons.
Following last year’s “Grey’s Anatomy” firefighter drama spinoff, Seattle-set “Station 19,” truTV introduces a new firefighter comedy, “Tacoma FD” (debuts 10:30 p.m. Thursday, March 28).
Why set these firefighter TV shows, which followed after NBC’s “Chicago Fire,” in the region?
For “Tacoma FD” co-creators, executive producers and stars Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme, their choice of Tacoma and firefighters had nothing to do with other current TV shows. The pair, who starred in the “Super Troopers” movies, wanted to bring a similar comic vibe to TV.
A stand-up show in Tacoma two years ago while brainstorming the TV series helped inspire the setting.
The pair will be in Tacoma March 28 for a free 5:30 p.m. screening of two episodes at the Museum of Glass.
In the series, Heffernan plays Chief Terry McConky with Lemme as Capt. Eddie Penisi. They’re surrounded by a crew of firefighters, many sporting mustaches like the show’s creators — another import from “Super Troopers.” But not everything from their highway-patrolman films made the transfer.
Despite the title, “Tacoma FD” was filmed entirely in and near Woodland Hills and Montebello, Calif., with exterior scenes featuring the brightness of Los Angeles’ sunlight dimmed in postproduction.
Lemme and Heffernan said they wanted to at least film establishing shots in Tacoma but the show’s budget didn’t allow for it. Network executives initially also nixed the idea of showing the firemen fighting any fires due to budget concerns.
“When you pitch a TV show and say, ‘We’ll fight a lot of fires,’ you can immediately see the executives getting scared,” Lemme says.
The pair managed to get one fire into season one, fighting a blaze in a marijuana dispensary in the season finale.
A lack of fires was not a huge impediment to the series, which Lemme and Heffernan say is mostly about the firefighters in their down time between calls. The pair drew from stories recounted by Heffernan’s cousin, Connecticut firefighter Bill Heffernan, who flew to Los Angeles several times to talk with the writers and watch filming. Afterward, his fellow firefighters back east nicknamed him “Hollywood Bill Heffernan,” which itself may inspire a season two story if “Tacoma FD” gets renewed.
Last year during a meet-and-greet after a stand-up show in Seattle, Heffernan and Lemme say they were approached by real-life Tacoma firefighters.
“A couple guys walked up and they were firefighters and they say, ‘What’s this we hear about a Tacoma firefighter show? You better make us look good because we do work hard,” Heffernan recalls. “Then at the end, he says, ‘I’m Lt. So-and-So and I’m actually a consultant for television as well,” handing the pair a business card with flames on it.
The producers did not avail themselves of the man’s services because they already had Cousin Bill.
“Tacoma FD” premieres 10:30 p.m. Thursday, March 28, on truTV.
“Tacoma FD” premiere-night viewing party, 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 28; Museum of Glass, 1801 Dock St., Tacoma; free; register for tickets at eventbrite.com (registration does not guarantee entry; event is first come, first served). | 2019-04-26T02:21:04 | https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/tv/super-troopers-stars-set-their-new-firefighter-comedy-tacoma-fd-in-our-region-why/ |

On any beautiful Sunday, I love traveling to Treyburn Country Club From Raleigh, the 45-minute drive takes you through historic Bull City - also known as Durham, N.C. - and into the quiet scenery of Northern Durham. The meandering, bucolic drive is relaxing after you pass the city, and the end destination is one of the most visited McConnell Golf properties. Here are a few high points to hit for a perfect day there.
After dropping off your golf bag with the cart attendants, spend time catching up with Director of Golf Tag Wylie. Wylie has been with the club for 16 years and is possibly the most welcoming and accommodating golf pro in McConnell Golf. Besides providing you personalized service, his next goal is to give you a good laugh; so be sure to get as much time with the face of the club as you can.
“Basically, we’re the course in the countryside for the members of Wakefield and Raleigh, who have bigger, busier memberships,” Wylie will tell you. He notes that Treyburn only logged a modest 14,000 rounds in 2015, which means there is always a tee time waiting for you.
"A Jewel of a Golf Course"
I will never forget the late Tom Butters once declaring, “Treyburn is a jewel of a golf course.” Considering that this man was an avid golfer who played some of the best courses in the world, that’s quite the statement. Truly, there’s no better way to describe this Tom Fazio golf tract.
Every hole is unique, flanked by wilderness and wildlife. One of my favorite holes - one I consider a bit of an unsung hero at Treyburn - is No. 3. Every time I am there, I stand in the fairway (if my drive makes it there) to just enjoy the moment, realizing, “This is it, I’ve made it to my sanctuary.” But tranquil moments like this continue as you have 15 more golf holes to go.
The No. 8 tee box is possibly the best tee box to hit off of in North Carolina. Elevated way above the fairway, you are as close to heaven as you are going to get for miles. Not only that, you typically hit your golf ball 20 yards farther.
If you wind up at Treyburn on a hot day, I’ll let you in on a secret: The coolest area to stop your golf cart is between the No. 14 tee box and your next shot. The cart path wraps around to the right at probably the lowest elevation on the course and lies under the shade of a thick wooded area. Not only is it a great spot to cool down, but most of the time you will find deer wandering right by you. Amazingly, the deer are so used to the golfers, they don’t even flinch.
You’ll finish, of course, at No. 18, which is an incredible but intimidating par-four. Depending on your drive, you likely need to lay up short of the green. Surrounded by a creek and some bunkers, 18 is known as one of North Carolina’s best finishing holes. Getting on that green in two strokes is definitely considered a successful day, regardless of your overall score.
Following play, walking through the 19th hole to the men’s locker room is a must - sorry, ladies. As you clean up before dinner, check out the lockers of legends such as Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Branford Marsalis and basketball hero and five-time MVP of the NBA Michael Jordan. If you don’t have the time to get a guest locker next to these guys, then you at least need to stop by just to lay eyes on these legendary lockers.
Assuming you’ve worked up an appetite, trust Treyburn’s executive chef Pedro Villasana to finish the day with an exquisite meal. His culinary work is raved about throughout McConnell Golf, not to mention the welcoming dining room atmosphere. During the cooler winter months, enjoy a cozy, private fireside dinner in the Sanford Library. Any season is a good time for a casual bite to eat in the Fazio Grille. And warm summer evenings call for a meal al fresco on the spacious veranda overlooking the signature 18th hole.
No matter how busy your schedule, find time for a daytrip to Treyburn. No need to wait for a Sunday like me - a visit on any day of the week is sure to be personalized, pastoral, and memorable. | 2019-04-22T05:59:47 | https://treyburncc.clubepay.com/blog/The-Perfect-Day-Trip |

The New Orleans Saints missed out on Super Bowl LIII, in no small part to a botched officiating call late in the game that is still being litigated. Observers from all sides have agreed that it was a huge error, but one petty soul found it in himself to celebrate it: former Saints defensive lineman Akiem Hicks. Hicks explained his stance to Chris Perkins of the Athletic at the Pro Bowl.
Hicks was an underwhelming former draft pick of the Saints, and was eventually traded away to the New England Patriots for reserve tight end Michael Hoomanawanui. He never put up productive stats as a pass rusher and was a starter on some of the worst defenses in NFL history. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick also declined to re-sign Hicks, causing him to land with the Chicago Bears, where he made the Pro Bowl. Hicks has benefited from the coaching he received in those stops to become one of the most-disruptive defensive linemen in the NFL; he’s collected 23 sacks and 53 other quarterback hits in three years with Chicago.
Damn, kind of a fool to burn bridges like that.
Eh his tenure was a failure all around. We had this 330 lb man playing DE and all over the place where he didn’t belong. On the flip side, he apparently missed meetings and had a bad attitude. Happy for him that he ended up in a place that maximizes his potential. No ill will here.
REMEMBER, PACE HAS THEM ON THE BRINK OR IS THAT ON THE DOINK?
I was glad they lost too. It brought a bit of closure to me.
That was the Rams' best shot at winning a SB with their currently constructed team. They are going to be in cap hell real soon and I don't think Goff is the next big quarterback about to set the league on fire. He's been exposed as a fraud. | 2019-04-19T10:35:23 | http://blackandgold.com/nfl/92344-ex-saints-dt-akiem-hicks-celebrates-nfc-title-game-im-glad-they.html |

If you have decided to arrange a party at your home for your friends and family members, then you should waste no time in looking for professional service providers who will help you arrange and throw a successful party. Yes, there are a number of different service providers that you will need to hire for the arrangements and execution of your party. From taking on the services of best decoration experts to finalizing caterers and entertainment for your party you will have to look for the best service providers for the best arrangements and execution of your party.
When making a list of service providers that you will need to hire for your party, a very important service that will ensure that you and your guests will enjoy the party without any inconvenience is the selection of a cleaning company that can not only keep your home clean before and during the party, but also could offer top quality deep cleaning in Dubai once your party is over.
If you are thinking that your housemaid that you have already hired for full time will be able to handle the cleaning task for your party, then you must understand the fact that regular house cleaning and cleaning the mess at a party are two different things. Even if you are going to arrange a small party at your home, there will be so much to clean during and after the party ends that cannot be handled by a single maid. This deems it necessary for you to take on the services of a professional cleaning company for your party.
As we mentioned above, cleaning the mess that your home will be covered in after the party is not something that can be handled by a single person. The cleaning company that you will hire will send as many cleaners for your party as you need to maintain your home clean during and after your party.
The cleaners that they will send to your place will be highly experienced and trained for same type of cleaning tasks which will ensure that your home will be in a neat and tidy condition with a couple of hours after the party will end and you will not have to wake up next day to walk through the piles of tissues, party poppers and other garbage that will be spread all over your place during the party. Look at here for more information in this regard. | 2019-04-22T12:06:59 | http://subjectdone.com/general/why-you-should-hire-a-cleaning-company-to-clean-up-after-your-party/ |

1. Stay on top of upkeep. Landlords should assume that their insurance company will expect the property is being maintained from year to year. Specifics will vary from insurer to insurer. Landlords should do periodic inspections every six months to take note of any damage or neglect caused by tenants.
3. Notify your insurer of an extended vacancy: Most property insurance is geared toward occupied homes. Renters can keep tabs on your property and address problems when they're small — before they become large. Vacant properties come with certain increased risks. So if you anticipate a vacancy lasting longer than a few weeks, let your insurance company know. | 2019-04-19T00:51:30 | https://www.insurancequotes.com/home/landlords-and-home-insurance-22117 |
For the longest time , I didn’t associate the traditional Christmas cake with a Christian celebration, but an Armed Forces celebration. Part of it was because I grew up as an Army kid, travelling around the country, as my father got posted from Delhi to Punjab, to Maharashtra. And no matter what part of the country we were, we would always have Christmas cake. It all begins during Diwali. Again, I am not sure if it’s an Armed Forces tradition, or just a North Indian tradition (because I don’t see much of it now that I live in Maharashtra and Goa ), but people loved gifting boxes of dry fruits along with an equally large box of fire crackers. The fire crackers were sent back, since we didn’t burst them , green Diwali and all, the pistas were devoured even before the wrapping came of the other dry fruits. An Army Diwali means not just one box of dry fruits, or two, but entire regiments and battalions of dry fruit boxes. And so at Diwali, my mother would get all the left over dry fruits chopped, and soak them in Rum and Brandy bought from the Army Canteen. So you see, the two main ingredients of baking a Christmas cake; rum and dry fruits were present in abundance in almost every Armed Forces home. Also the entire chopping of what seemed kilos of dry fruits needed an army of workers, again something which was a privilege we enjoyed in the defence colonies. It’s easy to see, why I thought Christmas cakes was something of an Army/Navy /Airforce tradition rather than belonging to a religious celebration.
In the Armed forces, people of different region and religion , all seem to be mixed and moved around the country like a bag of pot -pourri, and all that you have in the end is a fairly homogenous group of odds and ends. And so here we were, Bengali hindu Brahmins, baking the most fragrant and indulgent Christmas cake, a recipe my mum learnt from another Armed Forces wife.
Cut to now, and it’s been over 15 years since my father left the Army, and yet , year after year, Ma makes 5 , sometimes 6 batches of Christmas cake, the prep for which begins at Diwali, and the cakes begin baking by first week of December all the way to mid January, depending on who needs to be gifted the cakes.
Even after baking them, the cakes are carefully wrapped in silver foil to keep the aromas in, and lovingly watered with rum every few days. There is a Bengali word they use for it ‘cake Moje jabe’ , I guess it means the cake will mature, or marinate in its juices. And in the last 16 years that I have been out of home ( I left home at 18 to stay in the medical college hostel, and then various hostels across the country , Goa and Madurai) but I have always received my Christmas cake , wrapped in silver foil and a red ribbon.
This year too, one of my mother’s patients who live in the UK, but come visiting their home in Goa every year, decided to fly down to Pune , to show their daughter to my Ma, who is a paediatrician in Pune. And Ma handed over my Christmas cake to her, to deliver it to me in Goa. Didn’t I tell you, this cake has travelled to places. Its travelled to Kolkata, and Dhanbad, and places overseas like Dubai, Mauritius , Canada, wherever her friends and family are.
The Christmas cake recipe, however , I have never tried making myself. It’s like Santa; we never told our parents, we knew they were Santa, because that would just take the magic out of it. If I start making my own cake, Ma might stop sending me hers, and part of the magic of Christmas is the gift of Giving, I don’t want to take that gift away from her! However , I do make Christmas cake pops from ma’s Christmas cake.
The cake, unlike the store bought Christmas cakes, is thrice as studded with dryfruits than an average cake. So as one goes to slice a piece, the knife invariably hits a candied orange, veers off track, then hits a walnut and then skids off another route, until you end up with a craggy piece of cake and lots of crumbly cake bits.
Now here is a short and simple recipe for Christmas cake pops.
Crumble Christmas cake, or gather all the crumbly bits together and make little balls of them, add a little condensed milk/honey to bind if needed.
Melt dark chcoclate, add a little butter for gloss, add cinnamon powder , nutmeg powder and ginger powder to the chocolate mix. And what I love to add is oil based orange essence, and a few candied oranges . the smells and flavours of Christmas cake should reflect in your chocolate coating. I melt my chocolate in the microwave, going 20 seconds bursts until melted, but you can do it over a double boiler.
Now drizzle the chocolate over the cake balls, or if you are feeling fairly dangerous, you can stick a lollypop stick in the cake pops and roll it in melted chocolate. But I warn you the christamas cake is more dense and heavy than an average cake pop, and you’ll only drop it in the melted chcoclate.
These cake pops would have been the revamped version of rum balls I presume. But funny thing, while we were allowed to have Christmas cake matured in rum , we weren’t allowed to have Rumballs as a kid!
Recipe also of candied Orange peel.
Peel oranges,sundry the peels for a few days. In a pan take ½ a cup water, bring to boil, add ½ cup sugar, add the diced dried orange peels. Simmer till sugar syrup evaporates. Keep in an airtight container.
It was our five year wedding anniversary , and living in Goa, i wanted to do something special .
while many opt for a destination wedding in Goa, living in Goa, meant we had a chance at a 'destination' ever afte beach picnic, is a great idea in Goa, especially given the fabulous weather from November to February.
Given that I am a planner and list maker, planning a beach picnic, was not the mere task of packing a basket and headingout the door.
here is my checklist of things to consider while planning a beach picnic.
first: I decided to check on how the world of instagram was planning their picnics, and so i did a quick hashtag search of #beachpicnic and #picniconthebeach. you can even pinterest your way around this one, or even google up some images.
Second , decide which beach , both sandy and Rocky beaches work well , but choose one which is not over crowded. Beaches like Calangute and Baga can get super crowded, and you dont want a sea of gawkers, while ypou attempt a romantic-ish beach picnic. choose from Morjim and upwards, or Uttorda and betalbatim southwards.
Choose time of day, it depends on the tide. Choose a receding tide time, you don’t want to have waves wash away your picnic ! a quick word with the lifeguard or the shack owner at the beach will give you an idea if the tide is receeding or rising.
I prefer one hour before sunset. The golden hour prior to sunset is perfect for a high tea picnic. Also as the lights dim, you can place tea lights or candles in jars, or put torches into the sand for an extended picnic. but if you want an afternoon , mid day picnic, try and carry an umbrella, or pay a price and get one from the beach shacks, though they can be very huffy about it. buy a few drinks from them and they might agree.
Get lots of towels and blankets, not just the one to lay down, but enough to wipe yourself after. The sand gets everywhere.
Get lots of beach bags. No plastic bags please! They look ghastly! But you need bags for the food drinks, to keep beach ball n play things, n cutlery n food.Try wicker baskets, or large beach bags which you can fold around the edges to make baskets ( like i did).
The wind can make the beach mat fly, so find weights at each end. Think pineapples or coconut shells or beach rocks as weights. or even buckets filled with sand and a candle lit within it. try the battery operated candles, the wind cant blow those off.
Next is the food, think mini sandwiches, mini burgers, cookies, everything finger food. Nothing too fancy and needs cutlery. nothing which make your hand dirty either. i quite like the idea of keema biryani, or something else which tastes good even if not piping hot.
Add a snack, main course and a dessert . Three courses add excitement . it can be a simple case of tea with biscuits, followed by a light sandwich, followed by donuts . the surprise element as different courses come out of the beach bags is great. i know some people like to barbeque atthe beach, but honestly, some beaches dont allow it, it can be difficult to put up, and the food takes longer to cook.
Drinks, in Goa carrying alcohol is prohibited on the beach. Carry cans if you wish. A flask of tea is perfect and even canned juices in fancy glasses. Mix alcohol in the fruit juices and you won’t get in trouble with the beach guards. try mocktails and premixes, and colourful cocktails. bottles of wine however, might get you in trouble with the authorities.
Entertainment : think Music, play it on your phone or a portable device. sand making buckets , or even a beach ball is fun. carry a book if you are having a picnic by yourself.
Last but not the least. Pick up everything when you leave!
Hope you had fun reading this quick guide to packing a beach picnic. let me know if you have ever been on a beach picnic before.
A huge round of thanks to the Food and beverage team and the housekeeping team at Kenilworth Goa.
We set up this beach picnic in Uttorda beach, the Kenilworth resort has multiple F an B options and one of them is the 24 hour coffee shop which can help you pack your own picnic lunches, which you can enjoy by their poolside, the second largest pool in Goa, which also haas a sunk in Bar. Some delicious surprises are planned for their christmas brunch as well as New Years eve dinner, so do go check those out as a grand celebration before the year ends.
Goa on my plate presents the 10 best food souvenirs to take back home from Goa.
Even before I made Goa my home, I was a student studying at the medical college here. That meant taking back food gifts from Goa everytime I went home. and even now , when friends and family visit Goa we love gifting foodie souvenirs to them, food souvenirs instantly transport you back to the place.
With Diwali round the corner, and a lot of travellers visiting Goa, what better way to celebrate than to Gift Food items from Goa? I have curated a list of sweet and savory treats from goa, which bring a slice of Goa to your plates back home.
Notice the Goa Mario Miranda Lampshade, the Mario Miranda Market scene painting on the wall? now bringing Goan flavour, not just to my home, but also Goa themed tee shirt and Goa on my plate cotton shopping bag!
So what makes a great food souvenir? One that instantly reminds you of the place, so it should be unique to that place, second, it should be something you really enjoyed having on your trip to Goa, so don’t buy things just because they are unique if you don’t like the taste of them, and third, something that travels well and stays fresh for long journeys.
Keeping these in mind, I have made a list of food souvenirs, both common and uncommon, from Goa.
Goa food souvenirs to take back home .
literally everyone who comes to Goa must return with cashews. Cashews both salted and plain can be used in multiple dishes, the roasted variety stay fresh for many days. Its loved by kids to adults, it can be a nifty snack when you have delayed flights on your trip back from Goa, and pair really well with alcoholic drinks. Cashew shops and ‘cashew depots’ are multiple at all the busstops and touristy spots in Goa, so no dearth of the shops, also many of the other food souvenirs can be picked up there as well.
This Layered baked dessert made of eggs, flour, jaggery and lots of ghee, is a favourite for tourists and locals alike. Each layer is cooked individually, and a minimum of 7 layers are present in a bebinca. Don’t eat it layer wise though! Slice a piece which has a little of each layer, to feel the different textures of bebinca. An interesting origin story of Bebinca is that it was invented by nuns in Portugal, where they used the egg whites to starch their uniforms and the egg yolks would go to waste. That’s when they came up with bebinca and pasteis de nata, desserts that use up the egg yolks ! serve bebinca with vanilla icecream, and sprinkle with the cashews you bought , and serve to guests back home. and everyone will be transported to Goa!
Port wine is not like regular wine. First off it doesn’t have a high alcohol content, infact many don’t even consider them to have any alcohol, its just fermented juice. Its pretty sweet so can be had by anyone , and is pretty cheap at Rs 100 a bottle mostly! What I love to use it in is for cooking though, add it in chicken curry and let it reduce and you have a fuller, richer fruity flavour. Add to any tomato based curry dish I would say, be it keema, or ragout, or mutton, or pasta sauce.
This one is one of the many typical Goan masalas one gets in the state. Cafreal was brought by the Portuguese, from their African colonies. It is green, herby, and is fragrant with spices. It pairs well with potatoes, paneer, chicken and fish and is one of the most versatile pastes. Just smear and bake or fry. It also works well with spinach soups, or spinach curries, and I make it all the time at home, to add oomph to my green Indian curries of coriander and mint.
This local liquor made of cashews is interesting, but again not for everyone, because it smells quite strong, and has a fairly high alcohol content. But, take a small souvenir size bottle back. It works well with lemon and fizzy drinks like limca. Also a nice marinade for meats.
Reason to add this on the list. First, its pretty famous and well loved amongst locals in goa. Second, its eggless ( for vegetarians), its nut free ( for nut allergies) and is moist and travels well. there have been times we have devoured the entire cake even before our flight took off from goa. Even now, we gift it to our friends and they love it!
There was a time when I thought these fudge chocolate deserved to be Goa’s number one food souvenir above cashews!! Infact this one is a must have , must take, must eat. For every chocoholic out there, you want to take back these for them.
8.chorizo sausage : Goan Pork sausages, that are chunky, packed with loads of spices, and are almost like a pickled version of regular sausages, because they don’t need refrigeration when packaged. They stay good for months, they taste great in a curry, in sausage pulao, I cook it with Jaggery and top it on donuts even! Very versatile, easy to carry back home, quintessentially Goan, makes this on the list of best goan foodie gifts.
9. Rainbow cookies from mog: This one was is for the instagrammers, also for the kids. These rainbow coloured cookies put one instantly in the happy holiday mood. Thay make for pretty pictures, they cost just 100 rs per pretty packaging, last for a month since baking, are a neutral vanilla butter flavour, and are available year round at the bake store in Margao. Have a neice obsessed with unicorns, or a gay couple friend holidaying in Goa? (Goa is the number one Indian destination for Gay couples BTW) get them these.
10. Fish: I know this one is a surprise, but even I was surprised at the number of people packing fish from Goa off to their homes. Reaason? Many Goans live in cities like Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, working outside the state. For them , nothing says home like fish. And contrary to belief, fish travels fairly well when frozen, and fresh fish doesn’t smell, also I know of a really good place that does individually frozen fish , so its not stuck to each other, and with the travel time so much reduced by air travel, cooked fish dishes, or fresh frozen fiah are extremely popular food souvenirs from Goa.
With this list, I have tried to bring the local Goan flavour, along with practicalities of gifting, like availability throughout the year, longish expiry, and clean hygienic packaging. Hope this helps. Here are a few more Goa centric Blog posts if you are travelling to Goa.
Goa foodie gifts . Hope you had fun reading this post. do share it with your friends and comment.
Kumartuli , the potters precinct in North Kolkata is where the Gods and Goddesses are created. We all know that Ma Durga comes from Mount Kailash, but it is here in the narrow lanes of Kumartuli, and at the hands of the potters whose last names are ‘pal’ is where she takes shape.
Images of half painted Ma Durgas and potters hands deftly carving out the Goddesses eyes , were images I had often seen and admired on social media as well as magazines. The potters at Kumartuli not only make the idols for the city of Kolkata , but also export the idols to durga Pujos around the world, from Australia to USA, and even to Dubai, almost every NRI Bengali pujo gets its Pujo Protima from Kumartuli.
But, the idols of Ma Durga and her children are made before Durga pujo, so is it still worth while visiting Kumartuli once Durga pujo has begun?
Yes, it is ! Read on to find out how we saw the creators, the craft and the creation , all at Kumartulli, this Durga Pujo.
After the british colonisation of Bengal and India, in 1757 after the Battle of Plassey , Holwell, under the oeders from Directors of the British East India Company, allotted separate districts to the company’s workmen. Thus, suriparah – place of wine sellers, chuttarparah – place of carpenters, Coomartolly – place for potters. It is this Coomartolly that later became kumartuli or kumartulli.
Mostt of the artisans and workers from these districts dwindled or vanished with the rise of the Marwari settlements and the coming in of Burrabazar. Except for the potters. The potters, who up until then were making clay pots and pans using the clay from the river bed of Hooghly , took to making the idols of Gods and Goddesses for the neighbouring mansions around Kumartulii.
Kumartulli was home to a number of renoened homes during the Bengal renaissance, like Nandram Sen the first collector of Kolkata in 1700, and Gobindram Mitter who had a sprawling house spread over 16 acres.
These famous houses of Kolkata , along with several other ancestral homes, got their Pujo Protimas made by the artisans of Kumartuli, and then many community pujos also supported them, and today the artists and artisans of Kumartuli have a life long association with puja around the world.
Kumartuli is a photographers haven , these large green doors were calling to be photographed, and me in my pink n orange gamcha sari worn the traditional shadharon bengali style couldnt help being photographed.
While it is true that Kumartuli is most famous for the Pratimas and the pandals they create for Durga Pujo, they also make the protimas of Lakshmi for Lakshmi Puja which is celebrated in West Bengal 7 days after Saptami. And so you will see half finished idols of Lakshmi, or even completely dressed and decked idols of Lakhsmi depending on which day of Durga Pujo you visit Kumartuli.
We also saw the beginnings of the making of Ma Kali, for the Kali pujo which would be on the night of Diwali. The dynamic Ma Kali idol, complete with a garland of beheaded heads, and a hand dangling around her waist make for eyecatching visuals.
You can also see the artists and workers hard att work, or just catching a siesta . A peep into their world and you see the simple life they lead, among their creations, a two storey house being held up by a half finished idol, or the remnants of discarded pratimas, which didn’t make the cut to the standards of perfection these Kumars put their work to.
Apart from this , Kumartuli, as I said is home to some of the old world rich Bengalis, and just a walk down the many lanes of Kumartuli gives you a glimpse of the glory of yesteryears, the aristocratic charm of Kolkata is best seen here , as the homes are still well preserved . we didn’t have much time to explore because the place is teeming with people, but there are so many lanes and roads and narrow passage ways in this place that it is easy to lose yourself here.
The residents of Kumartulli make idols for the entire city, and for most of the pujos around the world, so you can imagine the idols that their own pujo pandals would have.
We visited two pujo pandals in Kumartulli and the art and ethos of both of them were mesmerising.
idols of Lakshmi, ready for Lokhi pujo, which falls on Sharad purnima, or kojagiri purnima.
We went by our own car, but taking a taxi or Uber/Ola is the best way since parking is a hassle during the crowded days of pujo. Otherwise, buses and trains go to Kumartuli. The nearest railway station is the Sovabazar Metro. Sovabazar Launch Ghat (alongside the Ganges river) is also close by. Taking a walk to the riverbank is worthwhile, as you'll get to see old Gothic & Victorian style mansions. From there you can get a boat back to central Kolkata. You don’t need special passes to go there, but its best you respect the people who live and work there,so if they ask not to take pictures, don’t. the place was surprisingly clean when we went.
The chaos and cacophony is an integral part of Durga Pujo in Kolkata, but once in Kumartuli, we took a left, and then a sharp right behind a house, and all of a sudden were trasnsported to an ethereal world; where Gods and their creations, idols and their creators lived. It’s quiet here, so quiet that some of the potters were sleeping. While in the pandals we were all jostling for space, here in the potters lanes of Kumartuli we were the only family. The feeling that this is where it all begins, the planning and creation of the idols, for Saraswati puja, for Lakshmi Puja, for Gurga puja and Kali puja, is truly an other worldly experience.
chowmein and kochuri, must have street food in Kolkata. the foodietrails recommends.
Ghugni :a step by step pictorial recipe.
If there is one food I associate with Durga Pujo , other than pujor bhog ofcourse, it is Ghugni.
There are at least five good reasons why Ghugni should be on your menu; it a vegetarian dish, it is made from simple pantry staples like dried white peas, it is super tasty , it’s a great party snack in canapés, it is an authentic Bengali street food dish so you can boast to friends that you know a Bengali dish which doesn’t involve fish.
But, I am getting ahead of myself. I need to tell you why I love ghugni so much.
During Durga Pujo we binge on a lot of non veg. we love to eat out from the numerous stalls, and its an unending menu of kosha mangsho, chicken roll, chicken lollypop, chowmien, and prawn chops.
But, on Ashthami we fast.
And then after pushpanjali prayers, we eat fruits.
And then the rest of the day we eat vegetarian.
That’s the only part my dad has ever been strict about; no non veg on Ashthami. Now , given that the street stalls are all teeming with mouth watering delicacies. It made sense that we eat at home, before we ventured into Pandal hopping on Ashthami.
Thus, came the ghugni eating prior to setting out from home.
We would eat a bowl of ghugni chaat, before we set out for our evening pujo protima outings. For lunch we had bhog, which is always veg, and we were sorted, but for dinner… we always had ghugni.
On Vijaya Dashami, which is Dussehra in most parts of India, we have guests home after Visarjan. And that day we have lots of amazing food at home, which does include mutton and also an elaborate table of Bengali Mishti’s ranging from rosogulla, to kheer kadam. But we also have Ghugni. Why? Because it pairs really well with indian food, its vegetarian and we might have vegetarian friends over for food, and also because ghugni is an anytime snack. Someone comes home in the afternoon, or early evening, or late in the night, ghugni practically can be had anytime.
we even had it for people visitingus for Diwali aswell . It has always been our fool proof 'guests dish' for vegetarian guests, and people who love non-veg, relish it too.
Ghugni is a popular street side food as well, and you can get it on your train journeys in the Bengal UP trains.
And that’s why I love it; street food, which is also travel food, which is also festive food, which is also ‘guests at home ‘food. How does one dish go from so many different occasions? How is it so well accepted from the hands of a street side vendor, as well, as from the hands of a homely mum?
This is the wonder of this simple staple. How to make ghugni you ask ?
Well, here is the recipe.
1. Take dried white peas/ vatana and soak in water over night.
2. Boil the overnight soaked peas with a little salt, and a little hing.
3. Grate one onion, one tomato, and a teaspoon worth of garlic and ginger.
4. Keep ½ teaspoon of turmeric , red chilli powder, jeera powder, coriander seed powder, garam masala powder. Ready.
5. Now fry the onion in some oil first.
6. Then add the ginger garlic paste.
7. Then add the tomato, only once the onion and ginger garlic are cooked well.
8. Add all the powder masalas, and cook the onion-tomato paste till it is dangerously deliciously dark.
9. Then add the creamy boiled peas.
11. Add pulp of tamarind (soak tamarinds in some hot water) use said water along with the tamarind pulp.
12. Let cook on low heat, until most of the water evaporates.
13. You can either serve it quite dry , or a little watery if you plan to have it with chapatti or rice. We generally have it without any accompaniment.
14. Fry off some slivers of coconut in coconut oil. To add that textural crunch, and milt sweetness of coconuts.
Ghugni is spicy, salty, tangy, and creamy from the boiled peas, and crunchy from the fried coconuts and the toppings, and just served with chopped onion, or crunchy sev, and even pomegranates if you feel like, add roasted peanuts if you feeling like it, squeeze of lime if you don’t mind and extra tang, sprinkle chopped coriander and mint on top to make it look pretty and more herby.
don't hesitate to substitute dry mangoes for the tamarind, or chaat masala, or use pre soaked tinned peas, or coconut flakes instead of pieces, in short, play around, and make this recipe your own.
Ghugni is what will make all your vegetarian dinners a hit, you never again need to worry what to serve your vegetarian friends.
Ghugni : bengali vegetarian dish with white peas.
At home , I started making it for special occasions only. and then it escalated to us having ghugni every week. I am guessing you will be making this every week as well. it's that simple, fast and addictive.
This year too, like last year, I am celebrating Durga pujo, not just with my family, but my blogging family aswell. Last year we were 4 bloggers participating, and this year we are 19 bloggers strong, sharing Pujo memories, nostalgia, pujo from around the country, fashion, food and everything in between. | 2019-04-25T14:11:15 | http://www.thefoodietrails.com/ |

The only circular shaped rug in The Artist Series, the Frick is a study on the "zero" or the alphabet "O". The design itself is a simple but powerful play of circle within a circle distanced by proportion and humbled by a stray line that hints on the human hand's imperfections. Solidity and frivolity become the focus of the inner circle in the form of a solid semi-circle against broken halves of a circle set against a border-less plane.
Other custom sizes are also available for the Frick rug in the circular format. Please contact us for your custom rug request.
Lead time for regular sizes is 8 - 12 weeks. Please add an additional 4 weeks for custom sizes.
All our rugs including the standard sizes are made to order. The lead time for any of our standard size is 8 - 12 weeks. Custom sizes take an additional 4 weeks. For custom sizes you can request a quote. If you are a designer you can also apply for a Trade Account here.
Our rugs are made in India using fine New Zealand blended wool with a 100% wool pile. Each yarn is individually tufted by hand to enhance the rug's design. A high quality latex backing material is used to provide strength and durability to the carpet. All our rugs will carry the RUGMARK seal ensuring no child labor is used in the production of the rug.
Note: The latex backing on the rug along with the weight of the rug make the carpet anti-skid especially with furniture on it. However, if you prefer to add more cushion to the rug or for smaller rugs that won't have any furniture over it, purchase of a rug pad is recommended. | 2019-04-23T10:26:43 | http://www.rajirm.com/the-collection/the-frick-rug-frick |
