Meet at the Iona Centre ready and warmed up for 7 pm. This is the last week meeting at the Iona Centre. Next week will be meeting at Cherryfield. As usual the route will be decided on the night. Try to throw in a few pickups during your run , or maybe finish with a strong last mile.
This week it is Stocking Lane short hills…hate to be doing long hills!
So meet at the Iona and ready to leave there at the latest at 6.55pm. The warm up jog to the roundabout at the top of Stocking Lane takes about 15mins so if you are going direct to the roundabout and be warmed up and ready for 7.10pm.
The guidance for these hills is purely advisory. Everyone has a different way to get thro these hill repeats. In simple terms the jog down the hill MUST be easy , especially near the top . If you are not out of breath at the top of the hill, you need to work harder and benefit from the easy jog down the hill. Please try to do 1 more repeat than you did the last time.
As we said above ,some people like to run hard from the bottom and try to hold onto their pace, others like to build their pace by running comfortably at the bottom of the hill but building the pace as they reach halfway and finishing strong at the top. You all know your own method, so why not try the different way and see how you get on.
We really want runners to run with a group in this session and hopefully with everyone taking a turn in taking out the pace . But we also need someone to be disciplined in callling the shots on the jog to make sure everyone is getting proper recovery and keep the group together as much as is possible. There will be an even bigger focus on groups in the next few sessions.
Everyone should do at least 8 reps. Lots of you should do 10 , and plenty should push on and do 12-14.
If you raced at the weekend ( a few doing Mullingar and a few doing the Paddys Day race) then ask Eamonn about the session. At lot depends on how you recovered.
Finally as this is a popular session , why not contact someone who has not been down training recently and get them along on Tuesday or Wednesday. If you are one of those, come on, get the act together and lets see you on the Death Hill this week.
As usual in Marlay Park , warmed up and ready to run for 9 am. This is the bedrock session for a lot of people. Why not test yourself next weekend by giving it a go. It is suitable for every single runner in the club.

Who has not coveted these lovely Beni Ouarain Moroccan rugs that can be seen in many interiors lately ... For my part, I have to say that I was looking for one for a while, they're just beautiful and it's a timeless decorative accessory because ot the mere colors and patterns. The only problem is the price which unfortunately is beyond the budgets of many of us ! So all those like me who dream of owning one of these wonders will love this DIY.
Qui n'a pas convoité ces jolis tapis marocains Beni Ouarain que l'on peut voir dans de nombreux intérieurs ces derniers temps...

Hi Nadia!!! I absolutely love it and you room is gorgeous!! I’m pretty sure I’ve been to your blog before and I’ll definitely be sure to stick around this time!!
Oh yes, now I remember it is because of that bird wallpaper that was on Little Green Notebook with your stool! I LOVED that paper! The flamingo prints are so cute too and your wicker pink peacock looking chair is amazing!
Thanks for your lovely message Crystal!
This rug was really a great idea and I LOVE it!!!
So congratulations and of course thank you so much for this clever DIY!
You have such a beautiful living room. The rug looks great in there! I can’t believe it’s done with a marker. Who woulda thought?!
I hope I will finish it one day!
This is beautiful! I definitely want to do something like this!
But Nadia, I have to say it: that coffee table is fabulouseness objectified!
Happy that you like it Deniquo! Crystal had such a great idea for this DIY!
Amazing!!! Love it!! I will link to this one on Friday as well!! Always so creative and amazing!! Love your peacock chair!
What a superb idea…also, I’m loving that coffee table so much.
Wow! You did it! I attempted this with a flokati + dye several months back and frankly it was a mess. The smaller pile in your rug + marker method seems the way to go. You have me rethinking this project for my own house with the new materials. Well done Nadia!
Cutie Cutie Cutie, WWoooWW .. Your Living room is loooking so Great. I Also want to make my house like this. i’ll let you know when i got one.
I loved this rug..i wanna buy it.
I’m actually asking a question about your living room :) Are those Ikea cabinets on the wall as your media console?
Beautiful job on the rug! Would you mind sharing the source for your wall mounted cabinets on either side of the gorgeous, larger center cabinet?
I love this idea but can’t see the original blog on Crystal 29. Would you mind giving directions on how to measure so that it is accurate? Thank you!
Hello, I really like your diy, and I would like to do it!!! but I have a doubt .. The sharpie-pen is special for textile or not? I wonder if it could be erase if you wash the carpet? Sorry about my english !!
Thanks for your lovely comment and I am happy that you like the DIY Beni Ouarain rug!
To answer your question and after time of use I would say now that the Sharpie is not the best pen for this project. Because I noticed that after a while it fades which means that it would probably erase if you wash it.
Thanks again and have a lovely day!

Bupropion plasma levels and CYP2D6 phenotype.
Pollock BG, Sweet RA, Kirshner M, Reynolds CF 3rd.
Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pennsylvania, USA.
All available antidepressants with the exception of fluvoxamine and nefazodone either are metabolized by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and/or inhibit this isozyme. To date, nothing in this regard has been published concerning bupropion. We report that plasma level/dose ratios for bupropion, and its metabolites erythrohydrobupropion and threohydrobupropion, were not associated with debrisoquine metabolic status in 12 patients, three of whom were poor 2D6 metabolizers. The plasma level/dose ratios for the metabolite hydroxybupropion were, however, significantly higher in poor 2D6 metabolizers. In three patients, who received a second phenotyping test during treatment with bupropion, debrisoquine metabolic ratios were not increased. It is thus inferred that bupropion is neither metabolized by nor inhibits CYP2D6. The potential accumulation of hydroxybupropion after CYP2D6 inhibition may, however, contribute to toxicity and impair bupropion's therapeutic effectiveness.

I’m doing a new link-up called The Blend with Narci!
Every 4th Tuesday of the month, we’re going to talk about something new!
July’s topic is our most embarrassing moment.
I don’t think I have any Steve Harvey moments in my past.
But I do have a doozy of a moment that I blogged about last year here.
We’re calling this “the car incident” and it happened a few years ago.
A few things to note: yes…The Hubster and I work together – we start at the same time, we work at the same place, but we do not drive together. There are a variety of factors, but as a general rule, we do not car pool. Also, my car is a 6-speed manual drive.
It was a cold November day and I thought I would be nice and start both my car and The Hubster’s cars so that they would be warm before we left for work.
My usual routine when I do this is to get dressed, run downstairs and start the cars, come back inside to finish doing my hair and makeup, and then get into a warm car to drive to work.
So I did just that. I got dressed. Ran downstairs and started both cars. Came back inside to finish getting ready.
I went downstairs and opened the door to the garage, looked into the driveway, and there was only The Hubster’s car in the driveway. Mine was not in the driveway.
I ran into the driveway and found my car, running, in the middle of the street. Like it had backed itself down the driveway and stopped. Thank goodness we live on a very small street and the people next door didn’t want to leave. Because they wouldn’t have been able to get around my car.
Thinking that maybe no one saw this, I ran down the driveway to get in and found that the doors were locked.
This was, of course, a day that we had a co-worker staying with us and he was sitting on the couch waiting for The Hubster to come downstairs. He started laughing and went outside to confirm that yes, indeed, my car was in the middle of the street.
The Hubster comes downstairs at this point and tells me to calm down and find my spare key. I tell him it’s in the pineapple, which is this pineapple dish we got from Hawaii where we keep all of our spare keys.
The key is not in there.
My car is running and locked in the middle of the street.
I have no idea where my spare key is and then The Hubster realizes he used it awhile ago and didn’t put it back.
He ended up finding it in the pocket of one of his coats.
I grabbed the key out of his hand because being nice and civil was totally out of the question at this point.
Being unable to have rational thought and conversation, I ran back outside and tried to use the unlock button on my key fob. It wasn’t working and I started to panic even more.
And in my panic, I hit the red panic button.
So now, my car is locked, running, in the middle of the street, and the lights are blinking and the horn started honking.
I look up and my neighbor is walking his dog and waves to me.
Thankfully The Hubster grabbed the key from me and used the actual key in the lock and the door opened.
Both he and my co-worker died laughing while I got in the car and drove to work.
When I got home that night, we realized this entire incident was captured by our security cameras.
So I present to you the car incident.
Please pay attention to the upper left screen and remember that no one was in the car.
This is what happened. When I started the car, I forgot to keep the emergency brake on and the vibration from the car running must have made it start to move and since the driveway is a hill, the car rolled.
It must have picked up enough speed on the way down to automatically lock the doors, which is why I couldn’t get in.
We just about died laughing when the car bounced off the tree and then see-sawed back and forth.
Thank goodness no one was walking on the street. And that now there is a house there so yikes – I would have been in their garage!!

Avon’s town council might be sitting on a little powder keg.
In mid-March, the councilors received an email from disgruntled town employees that amounts to two pages of complaints about the town manager, Virginia Egger.
The authors are anonymous. Many of the accusations are vague and look exaggerated. Some are more specific, can be investigated and are serious if true.
One alleges sexual harassment. Others claim workplace violations, a hostile work environment, discrimination, mismanagement, high turnover, a sort of kitchen sink of complaints.
Some assertions I haven’t seen evidence of in the community. As for a line asserting an “adversarial relationship with the paper,” well, that’s simply not true.
They say they have begun a conversation with a union about organizing.
A 2014 employee survey shows a mostly satisfied staff out of 70 who took the survey. The percentage expressing neutral opinions to dissatisfaction runs around 12 percent. Complainers suggest we should see the employee comments, but I put little stock in those for obvious reasons.
As best we can tell so far, between maybe a dozen and two-dozen employees have difficulty with their town manager troubling enough to reach out.
Perhaps more serious, we know at least one department head has formally complained about the town manager, as well.
Now, not liking your boss is hardly news. I’m not always so crazy about mine, and the Vail Daily staff isn’t exactly enamored with me at times. This goes with the territory, especially when pushing unpopular changes — kind of the boss’ job. And Egger is still new, having begun in 2012.
She appears to get along well with the council, collectively and individually. I don’t see them behind closed doors, but at least publicly I haven’t picked up signs of the tensions I have seen in boards at odds with their chief executive.
One of the chief complaints is the town manager keeps the council apart from the employees. In municipal government, it’s widely accepted that the board oversees policy and direction, while the chief executive handles the staff. Again, this is part of the job.
But to whom do the employees turn when things get more serious? The allegations in the list, and the fact of at least one department head vocalizing complaints, do hint that future steps could well land in a courtroom.
Mayor Jennie Fancher replied to the email three days after receiving it, assuring the authors that the council takes their concerns seriously and pointing out the difficulty in dealing with anonymous communication of largely vague complaints.
Over a month now has elapsed since then without apparent follow-up, and a reporter began looking into this late last week, after learning the department head had issued a more formal spoken complaint to the designated official for these things, the assistant town manager.
We understand the council is likely to take up this ticklish subject at its next meeting Tuesday, appropriately in closed session.
As the person responsible for the Vail Daily as a business, I know how this goes if I receive an email listing allegations of workplace violations including sexual harassment, anonymous or not. There can’t be any waiting around, never mind for a month until my schedule clears enough to maybe take a look at it. You can’t leave fuses like this to burn.
CIRSA, the town’s insurance provider, recently led a workshop for town staff. Part of the training emphasized the need to follow up promptly with this type of complaint, however it may turn out — whether spoken or written, and even if the supervisor only suspects there might be a problem.
These accusations may well prove to be ridiculous, the work of a few rotten apples. There may be merit to some and not so much to others. Maybe they’re all true.
The point is the employer — in this case the council — needs to find out now. That’s their responsibility to the constituents, the employees and their town manager, too.

Painting by Kawahara Keiga: Arrival of a Dutch Ship. Siebold, wife and daugther.
For two centuries the shogunates of Japan invoked sakoku—isolation from foreign influence. Only a single point of contact with the West was allowed. This was intended for trade, exclusively with the Dutch. These ‘red haired’ traders were confined to Dejima, an artificial island abutting Nagasaki. It was to become the injection point for Western technology, science and medicine which, for over two hundred years, infused Japan with the knowledge and methods that would serve her well. After Commodore Perry’s visit brought, through intimidation, an end to isolation, Japan leapt onto the stage of the modern world fully rehearsed and ready to play a role.
The Japanese were not passive recipients of instruction. It was they who learned Dutch, formed schools to teach Western knowledge and mastered advanced shipbuilding using little more than sketches of the Dutch techniques.
Chinese herbalism, moxibustion and acupuncture were prevalent in Japan. But their anatomy was primitive compared to the detailed knowledge of the Europeans. The anatomical studies of the inimitable German authority Johann Adam Kulmus’s Anatomische Tabellen (1732), were soon conveyed in the form of a Dutch textbook Ontleedkundige Tafelen (1734). Japanese doctors enthusiastically conducted dissections to confirm what they were shown, and eventually a compilation in Japanese was published as The New Text on Anatomy (1774).
Rangaku was a collaborative phenomenon. Hanaoka’s surgery under general anesthesia in 1804 combined a Japanese-derived anesthetic agent—Mafutsusan—about which little is known, with western operative techniques. Eventually, the baton was passed. In Osaka, on the trade route between Nagasaki and Edo (Tokyo), Ogata Koan founded Tekijuku, a Rangaku–based school of medicine. From this were derived the programs at both Osaka and Keio Universities.
The Rangaku phenomenon was a long process, spanning from 1600 to 1868—the Tokugawa period—when members of this clan ruled from Edo Castle (Tokyo). The term Rangaku came to refer to the Western knowledge generally, not just the Dutch. Of four of the best known purveyors of medical Rangaku, three were German and one a Swede.
Caspar Schamberger was a Leipzig-trained surgeon who signed up for a stint with the Dutch East India Company and arrived at Dejima in Nagasaki in 1649. He soon came to the attention of the Imperial commissioner Inoue Masashige, who had already embraced Western thought. Before long Schamberger acquired as patients a number of high ranking members of Japanese society . At the end of his two years in Japan, the governor of Nagasaki commanded a report on his methods which became the basis for the first Western practice of medicine in Japan known as Caspar-style-surgery, or kasuparu-ryû geka.
Engelbert Kaempfer was also a German physician who came to Japan via duty as a ship’s surgeon for the Dutch East India Company. He arrived in Japan in 1690, and stayed for two years, spending his time collecting local flora and learning acupuncture. Trees are alive today that were grown from Gingko seeds that he brought home. He also planted the idea in Europe that Japanese acupuncture was to be taken seriously, as he had seen cases of colic cured with needles. His travelogue of was immensely popular in Europe. It undoubtedly intrigued our next adventurer, who refreshed the genre 50 years later.
The Swedish botanist and physician Carl Peter Thunberg, a pupil of Linnaeus, was the only European who visited and published his observations of Tokugawa Japan in the eighteenth century.
Carl Peter Thunberg was a Swede and an apostle of the great classifier Linnaeus. He himself was dubbed ‘the Japanese Linnaeus’. He too disembarked at Dejima, and was initially confined there. As head surgeon he persuaded interpreters to trade nuggets of knowledge—Western medicine for Japanese botany. His entrée into Nagasaki was the use of mercury to treat syphilis (known as the ‘Dutch disease’). In return, he was taught acupuncture. He left Japan in 1776, later to write Flora Japonica and Fauna Japonica, titles identical to later works that were based on the studies a another arrival at Dejima, one whose association with Japan became very personal.
We refer to Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold, physician, botanist and father of the first female physician in Japan. By the time Siebold arrived in 1823, the Dutch East India Company was out of business. Dejima was now operated by Holland. Within a year he had started a medical school, with instruction in Dutch. During the fourth year of his stay he fathered Kusumoto Ine, who became not only the first female physician in Japan but eventually court physician to the Empress.
Siebold got into trouble with everyone. He was nearly recalled by the Dutch who had grown tired of his arrogance. He was put under house arrest by the Japanese as a possible spy for Russia when a secreted map of northern Japan and Korea was discovered in his possession. By the time he left, eight years in, he had collected over 1000 plants, kept in a private botanical garden. He secretly exported tea to Indonesia, Hydrangea to England and Knotweed (an invasive species) to America. Thirteen plants, two animals and a half-dozen museums bear his name.
It is said that Siebold was the first to acquaint the Japanese with the concept of vaccination for smallpox. But it was not until 1849 that the government of Nagasaki asked the Dutch to import cowpox virus, which was kept at the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company in Batavia (Jakarta). This they did, and the prospect of controlling smallpox with vaccination excited all but the Chinese physicians—and the vehemently anti-Western Emperor Komei. The Emperor died from smallpox during an 1867 epidemic in Kyoto. His son however had been vaccinated ten years earlier, at the insistence of his maternal grandfather. He survived to become Emperor Meiji. The ‘Meiji restoration’ brought capitalism and industrialization to Japan. The role of Dejima as a portal of transformation was complete.
Smallpox is now eradicated, with only two known lab stocks, one in the US and one in Russia. But the prospect of pirated smallpox as an agent of bio-terrorism is not being ignored. To this end safer vaccines have been sought, the most promising of which is the LC16m8 vaccine. It was developed in 1985 by a team of thirteen researchers at the National Institute of Infectious Disease—in Tokyo.
Four Japanese citizens have won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine: Sosumu Tonegawa 1987, Shiinya Yamnaka 2012, Satoshi Omura 2015, and Yoshinora Oshumi 2016. Eighteen Japanese scientists have won for Physics or Chemistry.

Any list of “Things to Do in Boston” is almost guaranteed to include the Freedom Trail, a 2.5 mile long route through Boston that officially encompasses sixteen historic sites. The idea originated in a column written in March 1951 by local journalist Bill Schofield, who said, “not only would it add to the personality of the city, but also it would please the tourists.” The Mayor of Boston officially dedicated the Freedom Trail on June 11, 1951, and the iconic red line (marked by paint or red bricks on the street) was added in 1958. The Freedom Trail Foundation, established in 1964 to market and preserve the trail and sites, estimates that over 4 million people walk the entire trail each year.
The sixteen official sites on the Freedom Trail include churches, meeting places, cemeteries, and other places that are intrinsic to the story of early Boston. Three sites in particular have a close connection to the Declaration of Independence: Granary Burying Ground, the Benjamin Franklin Statue and Boston Latin School, and the Old State House.
Granary Burying Ground was established in 1660, and its name recalls a nearby grain storage building. There are 2300 markers, but an estimated 5000 individuals are buried in the relatively small grounds on Tremont Street. Among those individuals are three signers of the Declaration of Independence: John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and Robert Treat Paine. Former President of the Second Continental Congress John Hancock died in office as Governor of Massachusetts in 1793, and as may be expected for a man whose signature stands out on the Declaration of Independence, the tall white obelisk marking his grave stands out on the Park Street side of Granary Burying Ground. Samuel Adams’ grave marker is on the opposite side, near the graves of the Boston Massacre victims. A plaque honoring Robert Treat Paine is on the brick wall around the corner from Adams’ grave. A misleading monument is at the center of Granary Burying Ground - an immense obelisk that bears the name “Franklin”. This is not Benjamin Franklin’s grave (which is actually in Christ Church Burial Ground in Philadelphia), but rather the resting place of his parents.
Franklin was born in 1706 at 17 Milk Street in Boston; his birthplace is marked just steps away from the Old South Meeting House on the Freedom Trail, and Franklin was christened in the original meeting house. A statue honoring Franklin and his contributions to the founding of the nation is on School Street, near King’s Chapel. The site also has a mosaic commemorating the Boston Latin School (hence the name School Street), which was founded in 1635. The oldest public school in America, Boston Latin School counted five future signers of the Declaration of Independence among its students: Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Robert Treat Paine, William Hooper, and Benjamin Franklin, though Franklin did not graduate.
The “kings arms” were the lion and unicorn, and these symbols were first reinstalled during a restoration of the Old State House in 1882. The current lion and unicorn date to 1901, and a time capsule found in the lion’s head was examined in 2014. Even King’s Street itself disappeared; today, it is called State Street.
The Bostonian Society, the primary steward of the Old State House, takes pride in recreating the atmosphere of colonial Boston. Today, the Old State House is a museum, and among its artifacts are John Hancock’s coat, tea from the Boston Tea Party, and, of course, a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Rarely displayed (although a facsimile can be seen), the Bostonian Society has a copy of the Gill, Powars and Willis broadside in their collections. Each year on July 4th, there is a reenactment of the first reading of the Declaration of Independence in Boston, delivered from the balcony of the State House just as Abigail Adams recounted. Through its collections and public programs, the Old State House represents that “breaking news” moment when Bostonians first learned the news of independence.
The site of the Boston Massacre, though the marker has shifted over the years to accommodate traffic. Inside the Old State House, witness a recreation of the discussions in the Council Chamber after the Massacre through "Blood on the Snow".
The "Cradle of Liberty", Faneuil Hall. Look for a statue of Samuel Adams, "A Statesman: Incorruptible and Fearless" outside, and portraits or busts of Samuel and John Adams, John Hancock, George Washington, and others inside.
Old South Meeting House, the launching point of the Boston Tea Party in 1773.
Old North Church, and steps off the Freedom Trail, the Printing Office of Edes & Gill, where you can pick up a copy of the Gill, Powars and Willis broadside.

It made me consider purchasing a double stroller with the ease of pushing instead of wearing Nicholas. Daddy and Cooper went for a short flight and had some bonding time at the airport. The day ended like most, with lots of fantastic family time.

Do you ever have a nail polish that you covet for months and months (and months) until finally you succumb to its beauty and purchase it? Well, that was me when it came to Rescue Beauty Lounge Will They Won't They. This stunner from Summer 2014's Anatomy of a #KDrama Collection instantly captured my heart and soul -- but it wasn't until recently that I finally took the plunge.
Rescue Beauty Lounge's creator, Ji Baek, describes Will They Won't They as "lighter and flirtier than our beloved Insouciant," and I think she's right on the money. Insouciant has long been one of my RBL favorites (just see here and here for proof), so it's really no wonder that I'm just as in love with its paler cousin!
Let's talk about that sparkle, shall we?
I really think that Ji creates glimmery, shimmery, sparkly polishes like no other. She has a way of making me want every single polish she dreams up! Plus I love when she bakes the shimmer into the polish so the removal is super easy.
I was lucky enough to snag this shade during RBL's recent 50% off sale, but normally, Rescue Beauty Lounge Will They Won't They retails for $20 at rescuebeauty.com.
This is an absolutely stunning shade, and it's gorgeous on you!
Amazing shade... RBL is so fabulous!
That polish has my name written ALL OVER IT.
Such a pretty shade. I don't have many RBL polishes but the ones I have I really like.
OMG this is such a beauty of a shade! I've never tried RBL polishes but I've heard great things about them.
Love the color combo, I feel it is a good year round shade. Right now I am obsessed with Butter Allure.
That's a gorgeous shade and I really like that it can be used year round but versatile for Fall.

I have been enjoying your blog and as a new student of Dslr photography I wonder if you'd consider describing your equipment choices and something of your approach? Thank you for your wonderful pages!
Thanks, Springman -- I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the blog, and thanks for becoming a Follower! My current equipment for wildlife shooting is a Nikon D90 and a Tamron 200-500mm lens, and I almost always shoot on a tripod (that has independent movement of the legs so that I can put it flat along the ground for short species). As for an approach, I've been thinking of making a few posts about that for a while, but in brief, I like to get as close to wildlife as I can without disturbing it. For shorebirds, that means getting low and approaching low to the ground, and never moving straight towards them. For mammals, this usually entails watching them from afar to gauge where they are headed, and then picking a spot where I am visible to them and allowing them to approach me, if they choose to do so. By allowing the animals to choose to come closer to me, they are much more relaxed with my presence.

How Good is Giusti Umberto I Purple Wine?
The “Umberto I” cuvée by Giusti (perceive Umberto the First) is comprised of a choice of one of the best Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes (a Bordeaux crimson mix) sourced from vineyards positioned within the Veneto area.
After fermentation, the wine was aged in conventional 225-litre French oak barrels (barriques) for 24 to 30 months (2+ years).
The alcohol content material of Umberto I is labeled at 14.5% abv.
If we’re going to speak concerning the ‘look’ of this wine as a complete, it’s first to be famous the sheer measurement and weight of a bottle of Umberto Primo by Giusti.
With out joking, the scale and mass of such a bottle appears extra like a Magnum format than a typical 750-ml one. It’s big and feels very heavy.
The wine itself, is available in a darkish and intense ruby crimson colour with hints of orange betraying we’re right here with a 7-year-old wine already. It’s fairly darkish however not overly so.
The nostril nevertheless, bursts with a uncommon depth. Aromas of contemporary plum include notes of dates and blended spices, considerably like an oriental cake.
Clove and nutmeg, black pepper, vanilla and a heap of caramel and honey. Peppermint tones present an aerial really feel to a fancy world of layered scents.
The palate is simply as highly effective, if not much more.
Placing the crimson wine in your mouth is while you understand this can be a seriously-concentrated wine!
Large physique comes with a balancing stable acidity, making the entire really feel vibrant. But, flavors of oaky vanilla, cherry liqueur, and ripe blackberry explode in your palate, accompanied with a beneficiant heat from the alcohol content material.
A layered and really complicated wine, offering a powerful weighty presence to its texture, velvety tannins and interesting, layered and moderately lengthy.
A wine made to impress, and it does!
Large and daring, but considerably refined because of the crispiness of its acidity, and the complexity of the various savory edges it delivers.
How Good is Giusti ‘Augusto’ Recantina Purple Wine?
How Good is Giusti Antonio Purple?

Thomas Spoehr serves as director of Heritage's Center for National Defense where he is responsible for supervising research on matters involving U.S. national defense. Prior to joining Heritage, Spoehr served for over 36 years in the U.S. Army, attaining the rank of Lieutenant General. He is an expert on national defense policy and strategy, and has testified before the U.S. Congress on defense strategy, budgets and equipment modernization. Spoehr’s articles and commentary have been published widely in both civilian and military media and he is often called upon to provide expert commentary and analysis.
Early military service included operational assignments ensuring Army and joint forces were proficient in countering weapons of mass destruction (WMD) which consist of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. As one of the Army’s foremost uniformed experts in this area, Spoehr served as the Commandant of the Army’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear School, with the responsibility for the policy, training and strategy for this critical area. In the wake of the 2015 incident involving the shipment of live anthrax spores by Defense laboratories, Spoehr was asked by the Secretary of the Army to lead a Task Force which concluded in 2016 with the approval of a comprehensive regime of corrective actions to prevent future incidents.
Later in his Army career, Spoehr served in senior leadership positions in the Pentagon, responsible for charting the Army’s future year financial plans, developing equipment modernization strategies, and achieving business efficiencies and reform. He became passionate that every dollar provided to the U.S. military is applied to directly improve readiness and not wasted; analysis and recommendations conducted by Spoehr have been used by the Secretary of the Army and other senior leaders to reduce or eliminate military headquarters, reduce back-office costs, and streamline lengthy bureaucratic processes, saving millions of taxpayer dollars. He has published articles describing methods to make the military more efficient and effective, and is a widely requested speaker on these topics.
His operational experiences include service with combat units including the 82nd Airborne Division and the 1st Armored Division. Spoehr participated in Operation Urgent Fury (the invasion of Grenada) and in 2011 served as the Deputy Commanding General, U.S. Forces Iraq in Operation New Dawn, where he successfully oversaw the safe withdrawal of all U.S. forces and equipment from Iraq ahead of schedule, one of the most complex and logistically intensive operations ever attempted by the U.S. military.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology from the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA, a Masters of Arts in Public Administration from Webster University in St. Louis, MO, and a Master of Arts in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College, Carlisle, PA.
He and his wife, Cynthia, live in Alexandria, Virginia, where he enjoys kayaking, home repair, and hiking. They have two grown children, Catherine and Peter, who served with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Afghanistan, and two grandchildren.

Poverty and deprivation aren’t just economic issues – they limit opportunities and prospects for children and young people, damage quality of life for families and harm long-term health and life expectancy. Below are some key statistics relating to poverty and deprivation in Cumbria. To view these key statistics for smaller areas within the county (i.e. districts, electoral divisions, wards and LSOAs) please click on the ‘Maps’ and ‘Profiles’ options above and for more detailed briefings, summaries, resources, data sources, key documents and useful links, please visit our Further Information page.
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) combines information from seven domains to produce an overall relative measure of deprivation. The domains are: Income; Employment; Education; Skills and Training; Health and Disability; Crime; Barriers to Housing Services; Living Environment. Each domain is given a weighting and is based on a basket of indicators.
The Income Deprivation Domain measures the proportion of the population in an area experiencing deprivation relating to low income. The definition of low income used includes both those people that are out-of-work, and those that are in work but who have low earnings(and who satisfy therespective means tests).
The Employment Deprivation measures the proportion of the working-age population in an area involuntarily excluded from the labour market. This includes people who would like to work but are unable to do so due to unemployment, sickness or disability, or caring responsibilities.
The Education, Skills and Training Domain measures the lack of attainment and skills in the local population. The indicators fall into two sub-domains: one relating to children and young people and one relating to adult skills. These two sub-domains are designed to reflect the 'flow' and 'stock' of educational disadvantage within an area respectively.
The Health Deprivation and Disability Domain measures the risk of premature death and the impairment of quality of life through poor physical and mental health. The domain measures morbidity, disability and premature mortality but not aspects of behaviour or environment that may be predictive of future health deprivation.
The Barriers to Housing and Services Domain measures the physical and financial accessibility of housing and local services. The indicators fall into two sub-domains: 'geographical barriers', which relate to the physical proximity of local services, and 'wider barriers'which includes issues relating to access to housing such as affordability.
The Living Environment Deprivation Domain measures the quality of the local environment. The indicators fall into two sub-domains. The 'indoors' living environment measures the quality of housing; while the 'outdoors' living environment contains measures of air quality and road traffic accidents.
This is the number of children living in families in receipt of Child Tax Credit whose reported income is less than 60% of the median income, or in receipt of either Income Support or Income-Based Jobseekers Allowance as a percentage of the number of children in families receiving Child Benefit. These statistics are based on a snapshot of several data sources on a specified day (usually 31st August). The data used comes from administrative databases on benefits and tax credits held by the Department of Work and Pensions and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The statistics are based on the finalised awards tax credits data – that is, they are based on a finalised view of family incomes and circumstances - and as such are derived from a full set of administrative records rather than a sample.
These are households where at least one parent or guardian claimed one or more of the following out-of-work benefits: Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income Support, Employment and Support Allowance, Incapacity Benefit/Severe Disablement Allowance, Pension Credit or Universal Credit at 31 May of the relevant year. A claimant may be in receipt of a combination of any of these benefits.

Samuel Stamp, UCL Energy Institute, Feb 2013, for Technology Strategy Board.
Co-heating tests are the ultimate scientific test of a building's fabric energy efficiency. The building must be unoccupied for at least 7-14 days in overcast winter conditions. External and internal monitoring equipment is installed, and electric heaters are installed to maintain a constant set temperature. All other equipment is switched off, and a precise account of the energy consumption is recorded over the test period. After adjusting for external conditions, the measured heat loss coefficient is established, and can then be carefully compared to design predictions.
Researcher Sam Stamp noted in his executive summary: "...the Camden Passivhaus is one of only a few co-heating tested dwellings that meets its design intent." In his conclusion, Mr Stamp states: "This is a good reflection on the design and build quality of Camden Passivhaus and lessons from this process could be taken forward to ensure more buildings had as-built performances closer to design."

I cannot convey to you in words how great it was to work with David Beck and Dees Stribling in the studio. They responded very appropriately to the attitude of each song, and the production reflects very much the personality of songwriter Stephen Brady Dietert. David Beck's experience producing other artists enabled him to be creative and influential without any ego or misdirection. He could see the direction of each song as it was written and give positive constructive suggestions and ideas. His hours at the control board were rigorous and energetic, always pushing for improvement.
We were able to track all twelve songs in 3 days. We had to push ourselves pretty hard, but we did it. Each song is a real adventure and the stories are told in an authentic way. This collection of songs is going to be a real treat to listen to as they flow from one to another capturing life experiences with poignant lyrics and solid song construction.
The quality of the rhythm section is as good as it gets. Dees Stribling cut his drum tracks so quickly and efficiently with all the attitude, style and flair that was called for, and David Beck's bass playing expanded the songs to a new level.
We tried to maintain Authenticity in Brady's Voice and Guitar. His unique style of guitar picking comes through on a hand full of songs and the urgency in his vocals almost prompt a call to action.
We have one more 2 day recording session on Oct 25th and 26th where we will bring in all the collaborators. Phil Roach will be adding a layer of Lead Guitar to many of the songs. Elijah Stone will be contributing Fiddle on a hand full of tracks and Peter Stafford will be playing some lap steel that will really set it off. Tex Smith will be contributing some backing vocals along with Mendy Dietert, Marshi & Bruce Young.
This record is shaping up into a dream come true. I hope you all will find joy in it.

When and where did the North Dakota Public Service Commission (PSC) hold public hearings?
How were the hearings advertised/noticed to the public and was the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Notified?
What was the timeline for the PSC's siting (permitting) process?
Who owns the land along the route of the pipeline?
How are cultural resources along the route protected?
What safety measures are taken at the river crossing?
Why was the river crossing moved from north of Bismarck to the current location?
How many pounds of debris was removed from the camps?
1. Where can I find documents related to the pipeline project?
All Public Service Commission materials are available through the online docketing system. View records filed for Dakota Access Pipeline.
2. When and where did the Public Service Commission (PSC) hold public hearings?
May 28, 2015, at 8:30 a.m. Central Time, at the Baymont Inn (formerly the Seven Seas Hotel), 2611 Old Red Trail, Mandan, North Dakota 58554.
June 15, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time, at the High Plains Cultural Center, 194 Central Ave South, Killdeer, North Dakota 58640.
June 26, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time, at the Ernie French Center, 14120 Highway 2, Williston, North Dakota 58502.
3. How were the hearings advertised/noticed to the public and was the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Notified?
The notices are submitted to the North Dakota Secretary of State's office to be published for an open meeting. Notice of each hearing must be given by the Commission at least 20 days prior to the hearing by publication in the official newspaper of each county in which any part of the site, corridor, or route is proposed to be located. The notices are also sent to local, state and federal officials/agencies as outlined in North Dakota rules Chapter 69-06-01.
The requirements include notification to the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission. In this case, the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commissioner personally contacted Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairman Archambault’s office inviting and urging them to participate. The tribe did not testify at any of the hearings, nor express any concerns to the Commission during the 13-month permitting process.
In addition to the requirements, the North Dakota Public Service Commission also send out a news release before each public hearing. The news releases were distributed to media statewide and are also posted on our website. Media coverage for this project and the hearings was extensive. Details about North Dakota Public Service Commission public hearings are also distributed via their Twitter account, @NDPSC.
4. What was the timeline for the PSC's siting (permitting) process?
Jan. 20, 2016 - Siting permit issued - After the hearings, the North Dakota Public Service Commissioners spent the next 6 ½ months working through all the issues before a siting permit was issued.
The North Dakota Public Service Commission remains involved as the construction and reclamation occurs to ensure the provisions of the Energy Transfer Partner's order (permit) are being met. The North Dakota Public Service Commission required an extra $100,000 in siting fees from the company to support a more vigorous third-party construction inspection program.
5. Who owns the land along the route of the pipeline?
Except for the water crossings, the entire route of the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota traverses private land. All of the easements were obtained voluntarily from landowners without the use of eminent domain. The pipeline does not cross tribal lands. The pipeline route closely follows an existing corridor for a natural gas pipeline that was built in 1982 (see image below).
6. How are cultural resources along the route protected?
The entire 350-mile route and construction corridor were examined on foot for cultural resources by certified archeologists. More than 500 cultural resources were identified. The route was altered 140 times to avoid and protect these cultural resources before construction. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed all of the archeological studies and provided a “no significant impact” determination on the entire project. The SHPO also reviewed and approved an unanticipated discovery plan that spells out the process for halting construction and protecting cultural resources if they are discovered during construction.
7. What safety measures are taken at the Missouri River crossing?
Emergency block valves are located on both sides of the river and can be remotely operated to minimize the amount of product in the pipe in case of an emergency.
The pipe has an effusion bond epoxy coating to protect against corrosion, and will be monitored 24/7 for pressure, temperatures and volumes. Drops in pressure or volumes would indicate a leak and the pipe can be shut down immediately.
The entire route will be visually inspected by plane or foot every two weeks and will be internally tested to federal standards with a smart device that can detect anomalies in the pipe.
8. Why was the Missouri River crossing moved from north of Bismarck to the current location?
The “proposed north crossing” that has been referenced was not part of the final route in the application filed with the PSC. The north of Bismarck location had been ruled out during earlier environmental assessments completed with the Army Corps of Engineers in determining the best possible route for the pipeline.
9. How many pounds of debris was removed from the camps?
Over 9.8 million pounds of garbage was removed from the camps.

John I have been told that heavier weights might help a little with a slight wobble I am experiencing. What do you think?
NO-----slight wobble= maybe tires/wheels/adjustment, wear of steering head bearing-----and top box too big and overloaded....they can be like rock tied to rear of arrow.
As it was designed SilverWing ok stable stock-----but owner changes (tackle box techs) can screw things up.
I disagree about your view on top boxes, my Givi E55 has been a permanent fixture on the back of my Silver Wing for the last seven years, and even heavily loaded has never given me any cause for concern.
It's as essential piece of kit as the Givi Airflow screen is on the front.
If, by wobble, you are reffering to the slight handlebar shake on decel about 30-40 mph, that is "normal". More pronounced as the front tire becomes scalloped.
The handlebars are 22 mm / 7/8". Seemingly any of the aftermarket bar weights will fit. I do recall someone mentioning they'd replaced theirs heavy aftermarket Vespa weights.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ADVICE AND INFORMATION. IT SURE MAKES ME FEEL BETTER KNOWING I NOW HAVE ACCESS TO ALL OF YOUR EXPERTISE........WITHOUT A NOMINAL FEE!
There are several bar weight manufacturers on the web that will supply you with anything you desire.
Filling your Handlebars with #6 lead shot will make your bike much smoother and will absorb the wobble caused by the front tire.
High quality tires and professional balance also get rid of this annoying wobble.
Check the pressure in your rear tire, along with the condition of the tire. A rear tire issue usually manifests as a handling problem, at the handlebars. I had a severe wobble on my newtome VT1100T that I foolishly rode without checking the tires. Turned out the rear had only 20 psi or so.
I had a part worn rear Bridgestone Hoop replaced after it developed a large delamination blister on the bottom of the tyre. I noticed it during a pressure check, stopped riding, and ordered a new tyre.
When I did ride my Silver Wing the couple of miles to to a local dealership to have it fitted, there was no wobble, shake, instability, or any indication through the handlebars that anything was wrong.
Bar weights control vibration and not much else.
If you have a wobble it is likely to be tyres, either under inflated or worn - check them first. Bike tyres need to be in good condition, fronts wear on the sides, rears wear in the middle (although I'm sure a darksider will be along to tell me a rear tyre utterly flat 90 degree to the circumference is the best thing since sliced bread).
Sliced bread is vile stuff, stick to decent stuff from a proper bakery!
Better still bake your own.
I finished baking a couple of 2lb white Pullman loaves a couple of hours ago.
What are Pullman loaves? I imagine hearing you say. They're so called because the loaf tin/pan has a slide on lid, so as the proved bread dough bakes it can only rise as far as the top of the lid, not above in a domed shape like an open tin loaf. Out of the tin the finished bread loaf has a flat top and resembles a Pullman rail carriage.
The slices are an ideal square shape for sandwiches, and when the bread is a few days old it makes great toast with a satisfying crunch and mouth feel you don't get from tasteless cotton wool supermarket bread.
The Pullman loaf is mainly an American thing, and the loaf tins I use are quality items made by USA Pan.
I know he'd like to take the credit, but Donald Trump didn't invent them!
Over here these are called Sydney Flats, I know !! --- don't ask !!!

"The World's" Phillip Martin reports on how recent immigrants to the United States feel about American notions of race and skin color.
Fausto daRocha, the executive director of Brazilian Immigrant Center in Boston could easily be mistaken for Greek or Italian, but he's not considered white, as he discovered last year when he attended a leadership retreat for non-profit directors and found, during an exercise that separated blacks and whites, that he was considered a person of color.
A first-generation immigrant from Iran says she's used whiteness to her advantage to avoid the emotional weight of prejudice: "Becoming white is a sense of searching for your security. There's so much to deal with, you don't want to deal with this ethnicity issue ... cause you don't want to think about it. And I can see that in my little son. He was striving to be white American because it was just more comfortable."
And though the 2000 Census defines immigrants from the Middle East as white, 911 seemed to change how people saw her.

On 3rd February 2014, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate’s Department for External Church Relations (DECR), visited Genoa with the blessing of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and met with Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, President of the Italian Episcopal Conference.
They discussed different aspects of cooperation between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Italian Episcopal Conference. Metropolitan Hilarion underscored the importance of consolidated efforts undertaken by the Orthodox and the Catholics in upholding Christian moral values in the face of the liberal secular ideology. Special attention was paid to family ethics and to the defence of Christians in the Middles East who are subject to persecution and extermination.
The DECR chairman told Cardinal Bagnasco about the revival of church life in Russia and other countries for which the Russian Orthodox Church bears canonical responsibility, and also about the revival of monastic and parish life. Cardinal Bagnasco spoke about the problems of the Catholics in Italy and expressed his hope for the extension of cooperation between the Orthodox and the Catholics.
The hierarchs exchanged views on the participation of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Italian Episcopal Conference in the Russian-Italian civil society forum-dialogue held in Rome and Trieste last November.
Metropolitan Hilarion introduced his suite which included Vladimir Yakunin and Leonid Sevastianov, co-chairman and executive director of the St. Gregory the Theologian Foundation. They told Cardinal Bagnasco about the Foundation’s work.
The President of the Italian Episcopal Conference gave diner in honour of the high guest.

Remember back in your school age days when, after a long, hot summer you were nearing the day when you had to return to school? If you are like me, you’ll remember that a part of you had no interest in giving up your favorite leisure activities while another part of you couldn’t wait to get back to see all your friends and yes – even to get back to class and learn something. Part of the experience included a new pair of shoes, jeans, etc. and maybe a new lunch box (yes, those were a big deal “back in the day”) or backpack as well as new pens, notebooks, calculator, etc.
Let me encourage you to tap into the excitement you felt back then and apply it to a “back to school” review of your finances. If it helps, go buy yourself a new notebook to map out your financial plan!
Savings Rate. Are you contributing to a retirement account at work where there is a match? If you aren’t, contact your HR person or department and get it set up. If you aren’t taking advantage of a retirement plan match, you are literally turning down free money. If you are participating in your company’s plan, consider increasing how much you contribute. Think about increasing your contribution 1% or 2%. I usually tell my clients that a contribution rate of 10% should be your goal. Many advisors advocate for 15% or more. It’s hard for most people to go to that level in one shot, but you can get there by gradual increases.
Review Your Tax Withholding. Do you have to pay a lot of income tax at year end? Or do you get a large refund? If you do have to pay a lot of tax, you might consider changing your tax withholding. You can have more withheld by decreasing the number of dependents you list on your withholding and/or you can have an additional dollar amount withheld. If on the other hand you get a large refund, you may want to consider having less withheld and add it to your savings – either via your retirement savings or into an emergency or other savings account.
Check Your Debt. Did your debt balances increase since you last checked them, or having they come down or gone away? If they have gone up or haven’t changed, you may need to focus on reducing your debt. This is especially true if you don’t have that many years to go before retirement.
Review Your Expenses. Are you paying for things like TV, gym memberships, etc. that you aren’t using? If so, take the time now to cut them off. You can use this money to reduce debt or increase savings. My wife and I “cut the cable” a few years ago and reduced our cable bill dramatically. We have subscribed to a streaming TV service for the college football season for the last couple of years, then cancelled it at the end of the season. There are many ways to monitor these types of expenses and save money on them.
Save up for known expenses. Is your child getting braces? Are you going to need a new car soon? Any expenses that you know are coming are things that you should try to save ahead to reduce having to use debt.
Consider rebalancing your investments. Your investments can become skewed over time and become much more aggressive than you think. It’s worth a conversation with your advisor to see where you are versus where you started out in terms of your mix of stocks and bonds, etc.

Over the last 10 years Bruce Baltz and I have crossed paths many times. I first knew him as the Major pusher of Hot stone massage. As I got to know him, I realized he is one of the most tactically gifted people I know. He teaches expecting people to understands what he is feeling and through demonstration and mentorship, he influences people to be more perceptive of tough. I would love to see him take on a class on the gifts and challenges of intuition. I suggest people take his class simply to better understand what he can help you feel.

Welcome. This is our story.
At least parts of it. We love each other, Jesus and the life He's given us.
We're on a shared mission to explore, engage and enjoy #allthethings — the people, places and possibilities with which we're presented.
I, the wife, write about some of it here.
Disclaimer: This is a personal blog. A mind dump. It's messy. I'm messy. I claim no authority on anything (or anyone) but myself. The blog reflects that. It's often a catch-all for random and sometimes a soapbox for specifics.
I don't take myself too seriously, so I beg you to do the same!

I hope Obama to be watching from the Oval Office. His staffers, especially the ones who were quoted in the Jeffrey Goldberg article as saying that Bibi is “chickensh*t”, will surely be paying attention.
I want them to see Barbra and Spielberg on their feet, applauding in the gallery. Maybe Sandy Koufax, too, sitting next to Sarah. Plus Elie Wiesel and a half dozen other Nobel laureates in medicine and chemistry. And Clint Eastwood in the Righteous Gentile section.
I want them to hear Wolf Blitzer solemnly intone the names belonging to each of the empty seats. This one’s Leahy, this one’s Sanders. I want them to see Boehner offer the seat next to him on the bimah, Biden’s seat, to Shmuley Boteach. After all, he’s America’s rabbi.
Then I want them to hear Bibi become deadly serious, as he gives Congress and the American people the simple truth, the truth the Administration has avoiding by citing specious formalities, and in terms they will understand: There is no question that in spite of all the denials, Iran has been driving towards the goal of acquiring nuclear weapons, and has been building inter-continental ballistic missiles to deliver them. The agreement being negotiated will leave them still in possession of the ball, inside the 20-yard line. Should they be trusted to not tunnel the rest of the way?
I want the White House to be publicly reminded, because they have apparently forgotten, that there are plenty of reasons not to trust the Iranians. Iran is run by an evil regime which does everything in secrecy. The only thing they do in public is to hang people. They have no peaceful nuclear intentions because they have no peaceful intentions of any kind. Particularly when it comes to Jews. They have plotted to kill Jews in Argentina, Bulgaria, India, Nigeria and Cyprus. Their leaders have vowed to destroy Israel, and spend every waking hour planning how to ship missiles to Hamas and Hezbollah. Why are Republican Guard generals operating on the Syrian side of the Golan if not to open a new front? The Iranians want to dominate the Middle East, which they are already well on their way to doing in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and now, Yemen. The world needs to imagine what Iran can accomplish as a nuclear-armed power, because Iran already has, and they like what they see at the end of the tunnel. So they are most probably tunneling as we speak.
Obama’s main opposition to Congress passing a sanctions bill is that Iran may not even agree to this 20-yard line deal, this bad deal, because the possibility of further sanctions will “derail the momentum” of the talks at this “delicate stage” of the negotiations. The only momentum that needs to be derailed is the momentum of the Iranian push to get the bomb, and only new sanctions, which the Administration is clearly afraid to impose, can do this. Bibi has taken all the slings and arrows at home and abroad; he has stuck to his convictions and will now come to lay his body across the railroad tracks.

Despite my love of dining out, I often cook at home. Not only do I enjoy cooking, sometimes it's the only way to get some authentic dishes from home (like American pork lo mein, Mexican fajitas and tacos, New Orleans gumbo, and Texas chili) and some dishes that you can never find in a restaurant (like my mom's spaghetti). Lately I've been making an effort to try more Japanese dishes like the ones we ate on our trip to Japan. I've found a great Japanese-American blogger from the San Francisco bay area who writes on Just One Cookbook. So far, I've made tsukemen, soba noodles, and ochazuke, and I recently tried katsu curry (see some pictures at the end of this post).
These recipes often require ingredients that can't be found in my neighborhood grocery store. The Edeka where I shop does have a small Asian aisle, but most products are from the standard Bamboo Garden brand (although Edeka recently started stocking panko breadcrumbs and miso paste -- I was impressed!). When I need more exotic ingredients, like real ramen noodles, soba noodles, chili bean paste, dried bonito flakes, mentsuyu (a soup base), and narutomaki (a kind of fish paste), then I head to the Asian market.
The Asian market where I shop is conveniently located downtown in the Rathaus u-bahn station. There's a very small shopping area in the passageway between the Bohnenviertal side and the Marktplatz side beneath Hauptstätter Straße. There you'll find a lovely flower shop, a shoe repair place, a vegetable and fruit vendor, and the Trieu Asian Shop.
Tip: When you come out of the Rathaus passageway on the Bohnenviertel side, be sure to check out Richie's. This tiny boutique sells all sorts of beautiful costume jewelry, cards, and kitschy gifts. It's one of my favorite stores in Stuttgart.
Outside of the Asian market they have a huge display of instant noodles, rice crackers, and snacks, like dried mango and plantain chips. Inside they have a couple of freezers where you can get dim sum and hard-to-find foods in Germany, like soft shell crabs. I was also delighted one day to find mochi filled with green tea ice cream -- yum!
In the center aisle, they have a huge display with Japanese specialities, like miso paste, nori, and Golden Curry. They even have a drink section with Asian beers and lychee juice. Along the back wall, you can also find a few Asian dishes, like bowls and spoons, teas and matcha powder, and other Indian, Korean, Thai, and Chinese sauces and spices. At the front is a refrigerator with everything from fresh bok choy, lemongrass, and cilantro to fresh tofu. I haven't had the chance to the tofu yet, but I have been impressed by their homemade bánh boa (Vietnamese pork buns) that they sell at the counter for just 2€ a piece.
I don't think I've ever gone looking for something that they don't have, and the young woman who works there is extremely friendly and very helpful. Once when Matt and I were shopping for a tsukemen recipe, I was looking for narutomaki (a kind of fish paste). I wasn't entirely sure what it was since I'd never had it before and I thought it would be a long shot for this tiny little Asian market in Stuttgart to have something that to me seemed very specific. Matt asked the woman but she didn't know it by name, so I found a picture to show her. She thought for a moment, and then turned to one of the freezers where she dug out a perfect package of narutomaki.
I've heard of a couple of other Asian markets in the area, but right now this one at the Rathaus is close to home and has everything that I've needed so far. Have you been to one of the other Asian markets in the Stuttgart area? If you can recommend one, then let me know in the comments below. I'll check it out and compare it in another post!

So in vanilla D&D the Challenge Rating for a creature states that a CR X character is an appropriate opponent for a part of 4 level X players (DMG 274). It looks like in MoM/Pugmire the rule is that a CR X creature is a moderately difficult challenge for ONE level X player. This would mean to me that for balance I'd need to use a lot more (3-4 times as many) CR 1 enemies for a starting party in MoM than I would in my D&D campaign, but I wanted to verify this is the intent before I TPK my group.
Hmmm... good question. You could always test it. If they die, it was a prophetic dream warning of the dangers ahead. Surprise!
Seems right to me, based on the game I’ve been running. This is a good thing: keying the system to an assumed party size always bugged me, as I will pretty much never exactly have that number at any given time. Much better to key it to each PC.
It’s still not an exact science and never will be. For example, a larger number of enemies than the PCs makes them more challenging than their CR alone would suggest, whereas a single opponent will be less so. But it works well enough, and I’d call it one of several small but welcome improvements that Eddy has made to the underlying system.

In their marketing, manufacturers need to make a clear distinction between netbooks like the EeePC and full laptop PCs.
In 2007, ASUS took a gamble and introduced a new type of portable computer. Called the EeePC, it was a Linux-based clamshell sporting a 7-inch screen. ASUS dubbed it a netbook. The concept has roots in the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project championed by former MIT media director Nicholas Negroponte; the original idea was to create a low-cost PC that would give young people access to the Internet and help kids in emerging markets access the world of information and communication on the Internet.
But while the ASUS EeePC was originally designed for emerging markets, ASUS decided to sell it in the U.S. and Europe as well. To everyone's surprise, the gadget took off. The big interest seems to have come from families who already had a PC used by all the members of the house. They wanted a second PC that could deliver Internet connectivity, so the kids wouldn't dominate the family PC.
The problem was that many of those who bought this Linux netbook got it home before realizing that it was underpowered andmore importantwouldn't work with their home printers, cameras, and so on. Consequently, sources say that the return rates for the first version of the ASUS EeePC were close to 35 percent. Bottom line was that it did not meet people's expectations. Many of them thought this was just a really low-cost laptop and bought it under that premise.
Recently, buyers interested in netbooks have started asking ASUS and other vendors to give them a device of the same size and costrunning Windows XP. And that's what's now happening. ASUS, Acer, MSI, and more recently Dell have created Windows XP netbooks with the hope that more and more families, digital nomads, kids, and students would be attracted to the highly portable devices.

How in the world do you schedule a Dr. appointment or an appointment to leave your car for 6 hours, when your husband is a chef and you have kids?
Now maybe it’s just me, but as a chef wife, I struggle with this.
Let’s be honest. There are some Dr. appointments I REALLY don’t want to go to with 3 kids. And these types of appointments can only be scheduled M-F and usually need to be scheduled weeks in advance.
I could probably get over one of those obstacles with my chef/husband having a weekday off . . . But I’ve found over the years that his schedule tends to change at the last minute and that weekday I was planning on having him off for is no longer a day off. I’ve put off and rescheduled many appointments over the years because of this.
Then there are appointments for the car when I need to leave it for 5-6 hours with the mechanic. Some places will let you leave it early and pick it up late, which is nice. But what about places where that is not an option?
A few weeks ago I had two car issues where I needed to leave the car. My husband was working hours where he couldn’t help me get to and from the mechanic during the limited hours they were open. That’s fine. It’s not a big deal to have a friend help. But finding a friend who can fit me + 3 kids + them and their kids in their car all at the same time is not an easy task!
In all of life’s problems, this is probably a pretty silly one. But silly or not, I struggle with it.
Is this a struggle for you? How do you schedule Dr./Dentist/car appointments for yourself?
PS: If you can relate to this post, will you think about sharing it with others using the buttons below? Thanks!
