Thursday 1st December 2016
Happy December everyone!
It's the first of the month, which means we can officially start playing the Christmas tunes. Hooray! So crack out the mince pies and pop on a bit of Slade ('IT'S CHRIIIIIISTMAAAAAAS!') because t'is the season to be jolly.
All of our live party bands love to chuck in a couple of Christmas classics during the festive period, so we thought we'd put together our top 5 favourite Christmas tunes, played by our bands throughout December to really get you chanelling the Christmas spirit.
5. I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday – Wizzard
Simply the best Christmas singalong! We just love this song by ultimate glam-rockers, Wizzard and couldn't agree more with the sentiment!
4. Do They Know It's Christmas Time – Band Aid '84
When the Band Aid super group was put together in 1984 to raise money for the Ethiopian famine, the record became the fastest selling single in UK chart history and over £8 million in the first 12 months of release for the charity. And not only is it a huge charity success for an amazing cause, it's also an amazing tune with a powerful message – to not forget those in need at Christmas time.
3. Fairytale of New York – The Pogues feat. Kirsty MacColl
Who doesn't love this tune?! With Shane MacGowan's unmistakeable gravely voice to Kirsty MacColl's perfect performance it's no wonder that 'Pop Matters' named Fairytale of New York as a modern classic.
2. All I Want For Christmas is you – Mariah Carey
Be honest now, whether you're at home putting up the Christmas decorations or whizzing round your local off-liscence collecting the festive drinks, when this song comes on, your inner diva in unleashed and you belt out that chorus like no one's business!
1. The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole
The ultimate Christmas song. When the fire is roaring, the Christmas jumper is on, the mulled wine is stewing and you're listening to Nat King Cole, you know Christmas is finally here. From all of us here at Tailored Entertainment… "Although it's been said many times, many ways….Merry Christmas to you" x
We have bands available to hire nationwide...

More than 600 Thomas Cook staff given free holiday by Suffolk firm
PUBLISHED: 11:58 16 October 2019 | UPDATED: 11:58 16 October 2019
© Mark Chivers Photography
A Suffolk holiday firm has invited more than 600 former Thomas Cook employees and their families on a seaside getaway.
Broadland Sands Holiday Park, near Lowestoft, will be picking up the tab to allow the colleagues of the recently collapsed holiday giant to say a "proper goodbye".
The reunion will take place from November 8 to 11, with ex-Thomas Cook staff enjoying a host of free entertainment throughout.
Geoff Barnes, marketing director of Park Holiday UK which owns the site, said it would be a chance for staff to swap memories and let their hair down.
MORE: Will a no-deal Brexit sink my business?
"The immediacy of the announcement meant that there was little time for many staff at Thomas Cooks' Peterborough headquarters to say a final farewell", he explained.
"As members of the holiday industry ourselves, we were also deeply saddened by the news and wanted to reach out to try and soften the blow in some way.
You may also want to watch:
"We thought the best way to help would be to open one of our most popular parks, Broadland Sands, for a long weekend and to offer free stays to staff and their partners and children.
"Within one day of making the opportunity known to Thomas Cook staff, we were delighted to have taken bookings for all of the park's 150-plus holiday homes.
"It means that we'll be welcoming over 600 guests in total for between two and three nights, and we hope it will create a truly memorable experience for everyone.
Mr Barnes added: "I'm sure there will be some nostalgic moments, but overall we simply want all the Thomas Cook team, and especially the children, to share a very happy time."
As well as the free accommodation, guests will have use of all of Broadland Sand's leisure facilities, including a recently opened £1.6 million swimming pool complex.
Charges will also be waived on some other activities usually paid for by holiday guests, such as the climbing wall, adventure golf course and Segway Scooters.
In addition, Park Holidays UK will be laying on a full no-cost entertainments programme in the park's clubhouse featuring professional family-friendly acts.
Any local firms interested in contributing prizes or services to the event are invited to contact Geoff Barnes at Park Holidays UK on email@example.com

My Research
I graduated in my undergraduate degree at the University of Newcastle in July, 2009.
Since then, my professional life has primarily focused on working in a variety of school settings, providing me with an understanding of and sensitivity to the needs of a range of learners. I have led teams by coordinating and delivering initiatives and explicit programs which focus on inclusive education by supporting the learning and engagement of students with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
My personal life too has been affected through the challenges faced by people living with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Raising a son with Autism has been an integral part of my desire in keeping abreast of current research in this field. I have been moved by the remarkable strength my son has shown in the eyes of adversity, as I have witnessed firsthand the daily challenges he has faced.
As a result of my professional and personal desire to assist people with an Autism Spectrum Disorder in reaching their full potential, I have continually reviewed legislation and initiatives for people with disabilities. This has shaped my views and developed my understanding and skills as an educator; in working towards improving practices and outcomes for individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
My focus of study is to investigate and understand the potential influences affecting post-schooling employment outcomes of local young Australians with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Moreover, this research mirrors my fundamental belief that individuals with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder can and should expect to fulfil their post-schooling employment aspirations; through an integrated and inclusive person-centred approach.

Half-Popped and All Right
The Natural Products Expo West trade show wrapped earlier this week. Four massive convention halls in Anaheim, CA were packed to the brim with every imaginable type of health food – many of which, ironically, were highly processed, refined, and pretty far-removed from anything "natural".
As I made the rounds of trade show booths housing coconut-water hawkers and protein bar pushers, one product stood out: Halfpops.
Halfpops are "partially-popped, fully-delicious" popcorn kernels air-popped in Seattle, WA. As the company's literature says, "It's just what it sounds like, half-popped popcorn", and perhaps even more accurately, "The Idea Everybody Had!"
Like most dietitians, I love popcorn. Popcorn is a whole grain, full of fiber, and makes an excellent snack. For those looking to lose weight, popcorn is a great way to fill up – without filling out (provided you don't pop it in gobs of fat and salt it to death!)
And even though I once broke a crown on popcorn kernels five hours after my dental insurance plan expired, my favorite part of eating popcorn is still the half-popped crunchy kernels you get at the bottom of the bowl.
Through methods involving "super secret tinkering", the "snacking scientists" at Halfpops have perfected the half-popped popcorn kernel. Halfpops are perfectly crunchy, exquisitely seasoned, and as the company states, "fully-delicious".
Halfpops come in 2 flavors: Aged White Cheddar and Butter & Pure Ocean Sea Salt. Both are gluten-free and nut-free, contain no artificial flavors, hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, or preservatives.
A one ounce serving – which is a surprisingly large amount of half-popped kernels – contains:
- 130 calories
- 5-6 grams fat (<1 g saturated fat)
- 250-260 mg sodium
- 3 g dietary fiber
- 3 g protein
While the sodium is certainly higher than you might find in some other packaged snacks, no matter where you fall on the sodium spectrum, you have to admit you need some salt on a good popcorn snack!
So while this product may be a sometimes snack when it comes to sodium, the 3 grams of naturally occurring fiber make Halfpops my handsdown winner from Expo West 2013.

Markus Babbel is wasting little time rebuilding his Western Sydney Wanderers squad, securing Swiss international midfielder Pirmin Schwegler.
Just 12 days after bringing experienced defender Daniel Georgievski to the club, Babbel has signed the 32-year-old midfielder for the Hyundai A-League 2019/20 Season.
Schwegler brings a wealth of experience to 'Wanderland' having played 15 years at the top level in Switzerland and Germany.
"I am very excited to join the Western Sydney Wanderers and I'm counting down the days until I arrive," Schwegler told the Wanderers' official website.
"I am very proud to be part of the Red and Black and look forward to getting started."
PREVIEW: Everything you need to know ahead of the Glory v Sydney Grand Final
HOW TO WATCH: Don't miss a minute of the 2019 Hyundai A-League Grand Final

Schwegler is currently with Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96 where he was captain of the side that played league-leaders Bayern Munich earlier this month.
He started his career in the Swiss Super League at FC Luzern and Young Boys, before making the switch to Germany.
Schwegler joined Bayer Leverkusen in 2006 and has gone on to make over 250 appearances in the Bundesliga at clubs including Eintracht Frankfurt, 1899 Hoffenheim and currently Hannover 96.
The Wanderers are set to have a very new look next season with the club releasing 11 players from their 2018/19 squad recently, while skipper Brendan Hamill also confirmed his departure on Tuesday.

Ladies, firstly happy women's day!
Secondly, it's been almost a year. I know, right? Too long well I've had a very good excuse: I moved countries, in a divorce, moved cities within a province, I even got a luggage stolen from me. Not only that, but I picked myself up, dusted myself off & am starting fresh. That being said, I'm currently designing my new beauty room/office (pictures above). I'm getting all messy and that's the beauty in life.
I am proud to say that I'll be based just outside of Toronto, Ontario with a ton of worldwide giveaways, local giveaways and, yes, Dubai giveaways. I cannot forget about my first 30k followers in 3 years in Dubai, with 1.5 million views. It all started in Dubai, so I will never give up on you guys.
Bare with me as I get organized and set up my office. Soon I will have everything that you guys have always loved – GIVEAWAYS GALORE!
I've missed you all,
Sassy Sally

If you, or your company, retailer or community wish to engage as a supporter of TAFELN work with material or financial donors, please let us know about this through our contact forms. We will also be pleased to answer further inquiries about regional table work and volunteer opportunities About projects and promotion. Please also get in contact with the regional table clubs in the cities and districts of Saxony if you would like to apply personally as a private person through donations in kind or voluntary work as supporters.
Plates support war refugees and asylum seekers The TAFEL DEUTSCHLAND has set up a special fund for the integration and participation of refugees and asylum seekers. The Federal Association is supporting the local boards with the aid of "Tafeln – Leben – Integration" ("TAFEL – Life – Integration") in the implementation of special refugee projects as well as panels whose attendance has increased considerably in the past months.
"Over 250,000 In the meantime, refugees are looking for help and support for the panels, which is an increase of some 15 per cent of the panel users, without additional donations, the panels can not cope with this challenge and have to reject people in emergency situations. With the additional donations, the short-term additional load on the panels is to be absorbed and thus benefit all panel users. The plight of the many refugees is finally in the focus of the public and many people help volunteer. As a sign, we participate in this help and at the same time do not cease to be an advocate for all our users. We are calling for a policy of co – ordination and support for all refugee aid, but for years we have been pointing to the complete deficit of social policy in our country, "said Brühl, who is also to promote projects to strengthen social cohesion The panels can therefore make a valuable contribution to the reduction of fears and prejudices by encouraging dialogue and understanding with meeting cafés, collective chefs and the integration of refugees into the honorary office.

Let's continue experimenting with what must be a preview to heaven that we call BACON, shall we? In my last post, we dipped these strips of ecstasy into chocolate.
Good lord.
And with temperatures reaching 100°+ here in Las Vegas, I thought it would be so perfect to try bacon in a cool, creamy treat!
That's right… Candied Bacon Ice Cream!
And yes, I know the ice cream is quickly melting, but it's ridiculously hot out here. Did I say it was 100°? No, it's more like 793.8° now… at 9PM.
Granted, I pretty much cheated with this recipe. I crisped up some Hormel Black Label Bacon and cooked crumbles of bacon with butter, sugar, and brown sugar… and mixed it into a quart of caramel swirl ice cream.
I'm not kidding. And it was DELICIOUS.
Best part… YOU get to add as much bacon as your little heart desires! I'm going to make it again… same, exact recipe. Well, maybe a little more bacon.
Here's the candied bacon ice cream served in a bowl with a strip of chocolate dipped bacon. To be honest, you can serve this on my garage floor and it'll still taste scrumptious.
Candied Bacon Ice Cream!
For the candied bacon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 lb bacon cooked and roughly crumbled
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
For the ice cream
- 1 quart of ice cream. We used caramel swirl.
Candied bacon
- Melt butter in medium saute pan, over medium heat.
- Add the crumbled bacon and stir.
- Sprinkle both sugars over bacon and stir continuously until the sugar melts (about 5 to 7 minutes).
- Pour the bacon in a single layer onto parchment paper and set aside to cool completely.
Ice cream
- While waiting for the bacon to cool, empty out the quart of ice cream into a big mixing bowl to soften. Do not melt the ice cream and don't throw out your ice cream container! (We helped speed up the process by mashing the ice cream with a mixing spoon)
- Once the bacon is cooled, add bacon to the ice cream and mix well so the bacon bits are evenly distributed.
- Return the bacon ice cream into its original container and freeze until firm (about an hour).
- Enjoy!

Cylindrical Image Projection using Matlab's imtransform Function
In this short tutorial we will construct a custom transformation for projecting an image - given it's camera rotation R and calibration K - onto a cylindrical surface.
Transformation definition
For constructing a tform object we need to define the forward and backward transformation function that take Nx2 input coordinate matrices and return Nx2 output coordinates. First we choose the cylinder to have radius 1 and its principal axis to be parallel to the Z-direction, i.e. x^2 + y^2 = 1. The transformation between an image point x and the corresponding ray direction r then is as follows.
dir2cyl = @(r) [-atan2(r(:, 2), r(:, 1)), ... r(:, 3) ./ sqrt(sum(r(:, 1 : 2).^2))]; cyl2dir = @(xy) [cos(-xy(:, 1)), ... sin(-xy(:, 1)), ... xy(:, 2)];
The final transformation requires the convertion of Euclidean vectors into homogeneous entities and vice versa.
hom2euk = @(x) x(:, 1 : 2) ./ x(:, [3 3]); euk2hom = @(x) [x, ones(size(x, 1), 1)];
Combining these auxiliary functions with the general projection equation x = K * R' * [eye(3), X0] * X we obtain the following functions.
forward = @(U, T) dir2cyl((T.tdata.R * T.tdata.K^-1 * euk2hom(U)')'); inverse = @(X, T) hom2euk((T.tdata.K * T.tdata.R' * cyl2dir(X)')');
Note that we do not specify the camera pose yet, but formulate the transformation depenting on the transformation structure T that is to be specified later.
Demo image
We will now load an example image, i.e. Matlab's "camera man". In the following we will synthetically define a corresponding camera pose and compute the projection onto the unit cylinder.
I = imread('cameraman.tif');
Camera definition
Before constructing a tform for image transformations, we define the camera pose with rotation matrix R, approximately pointing into X-direction with random pertubations, and a calibration matrix K with focal length c = 100 and principal point at the image center. Note that the calibration matrix has a negative focal length in X-direction in order to take account of the left handed image coordinate system.
rot = @(p, a) circshift(blkdiag([cos(p) -sin(p); sin(p) cos(p)], 1), [a a]); R = rot(pi / 2, 1) * rot(0.5 * randn, 3) * rot(0.5 * randn, 2) * rot(0.5 * randn, 1); c = 100; K = [-c, 0, size(I, 2) / 2; 0, c, size(I, 1) / 2; 0, 0, 1];
Image transformation
Afterwards we can call maketform with both out forward and backward function as well as additional transformation data, i.e. the camera orientation and calibration.
tform = maketform('custom', 2, 2, forward, inverse, struct('K', K, 'R', R));
Using the tform object we can easily transform our image I with Matlab's imtransform function. Since the vertical output coordinates are possibly unbounded, we should specify the output coordinate range. We choose a full revolution in horizontal direction and -1 to 1 for the vertical direction, being equivalent to 90 degrees vertical field of view. Finally, a scale of 1/100 yields an output image of size 628x200 rather than 6x2 pixels.
xdata = [-pi, pi]; ydata = [-1, 1]; scale = 1 / 100; J = imtransform(I, tform, 'XData', xdata, 'YData', ydata, 'XYScale', scale);
To visualize the image with correctly labeled axes, we again need to specify the coordinate range.
imshow(J, 'XData', xdata, 'YData', ydata); axis on; set(gca, 'YDir', 'normal');
Removing the "mirror" image
As we might notice from the result, the image is projected onto the cylinder twice: once in front of the camera and once behind. In order to avoid this mirroring effect - or at least to detect those incorrectly projected pixels - we check the direction of each pixel of the output image.
[y, x] = ndgrid( ... linspace(ydata(1), ydata(2), size(J, 1)), ... linspace(xdata(1), xdata(2), size(J, 2))); r = cyl2dir([x(:), y(:)]);
Pixels are invalid if their direction vector differs from the negative camera-Z-axis by more than 90 degrees - or yields a negative scalar product.
invalid = r * -R(:, 3) < 0;
For this demonstration we dim those pixels to 20 percent brightness.
J(invalid) = 0.2 * J(invalid); imshow(J, 'XData', xdata, 'YData', ydata); axis on; set(gca, 'YDir', 'normal');

After mulling over it internally and talking it out with friends, I've concluded I'm definitely not a fan of the game itself. There were things I liked about it, a couple of things I loved about it (Ishimaru being the main thing), but even the things I loved missed the mark or had their arcs cut unnecessarily short in some ways, and the game itself just didn't resonate enough with me to make up for or make me handwave the numerous flaws and shortcomings it had.
I discussed the game with Luna last night, and I think she put it best in nailing what my biggest problem with the game was: the characters (with exceptions) and interactions (again, with exceptions) all feel very mechanical. I never felt any sense of any genuine bonds being formed between the characters, and consequently, their triumph of hope over despair doesn't register emotionally as a victory.
This failed registration is also a result of the game's refusal to truly let you gets swept up in the characters, their arcs, and how they react and cope with their personal problems coupled with the situation they were landed in. The characters that have arcs are either killed off before they can truly be set in motion (Chihiro) or are cut off from the game's big plot twist (Kirigiri). The one living character with explicit personal and mental problems has them played up solely for entertainment and is never truly explored seriously as a character (Fukawa). The characters that are vividly affected by any of the events that take place are similarly either killed off (Maizono, Ishimaru) or get over it quickly (Asahina). There's a possibility that this lack of despair may have been intentional, to show that the villain never truly "won" over the living cast members, but it doesn't excuse the lacking arcs the living characters given, if any such arcs exist at all.
So, I'm not a fan of Dangan Ronpa. I love Ishimaru, I'm very fond of Chihiro and Mondo, I enjoy Fukawa, I like the rest of the cast (sans Yamada, whose act wore quickly for me), I enjoy discussing what it could have been, as well as exploring the unexplored facets of the characters and plot points, but ultimately, the game misses too many marks, pulls too many shocking twists with little payoff, and just doesn't execute its premise, characters, and relationships as well or as genuinely as it could have, to make a fan out of me.
I hear its sequel is an improvement in nearly every regard, so I intend to check it out when an LP is released, but for now, those are my Dangan Ronpa thoughts.

A former Madison County teacher who's facing multiple sex charges is out of jail on bond. Lyndsey Bates, 22, turned herself in on Friday after the Madison County Sheriff's Office put out warrants for her arrest.
According to Bates' Facebook page, she started as an inclusion teacher and volleyball coach at Madison County High School for the 2018-2019 school year. The sheriff's office said she is related to Chief Deputy Stacy Bates by marriage, and her Facebook page shows he is her father-in-law.
Tim Douthit, Madison County Assistant District Attorney, said if Lyndsey Bates is convicted of the crimes, she'll have to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life and could spend up to 20 years in prison.
"We are seeing it more and more often in the age of social media. It's much easier to blur the lines between what used to be an authority figure versus I'm a student," he said.
Bates is currently charged with three counts of distributing obscene material to a student, school employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student under the age of 19 and school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19.
Douthit can't share specific details about the case against Bates, but he said those charges mean authorities believe she engaged in sexual intercourse, sex acts and has distributed some form of pornography to at least one student.
However, Bates isn't charged with rape, which Douthit said means the student(s) were old enough to consent and did consent, but the law in Alabama still makes whatever happened illegal since she was a school employee.
"Under the school teacher rules, consent is not a defense even if everything is consensual, it's still a crime," he said.
The sheriff's office hasn't released how many students Bates is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with, but Douthit said as a parent, he hopes teachers know better.
"Children and teenagers are going to do dumb things. I expect your job as a teacher is to try to talk them out of it or at least not become complicit in what they're doing," he said.
We've requested Bates personnel file from the school district. As of Monday evening, we are still waiting to hear back about our request.

Project Type:
Growth Initiative
As digital marketplace for insurance wefox experiences rapid growth on both sides of their platform: brokers and customers. Functional teams (i.e. product, marketing, sales) have been established across the organization to focus on intercompany workflows and processes. As a next step wefox wanted to introduce a growth mindset across the entire company to unleash long-term sustainable growth.
Together with the wefox head of growth Pirates developed a framework of tools and processes helping the new growth team to generate, structure and test new growth experiments. The team meets biweekly to share insights and learnings from executed minimum viable tests (MVTs), maintaining the ICE-ranked backlog and priortise on future tests.
Within two months after kick-off the growth team generated 48 experiements, schedule 4 MVTs and successfully run the first one.
Running our first marketing campaign, Speedinvest Pirates helped us not only exceed our own targets but also stopped us from making crucial mistakes in the process. With their approach, Pirates sets you up for future successful campaigns by openly sharing their experience and secret sauce with you.
Working with David from SI Pirates for a year on almost day-to-day basis helped us to take our digital marketing efforts to the next level. David was part of our team and his expertise brought to the table many experiments and changes that helped us to set up digital marketing campaigns, improve SEO, conversions and increase direct sales.
Co-Founder and CEO
We had a really great workshop with Speedinvest Pirates on the urging topic of positioning and brand. The professional outside perspective on our challenges as a thriving company was refreshing and insightful. Dieter's appreciative and constructive criticism helped us to tackle our challenges and helped us to identify those we yet have been unaware of.
Co-Founder and CEO
Many consultants out there are selling "theoretical" startup workshops but they lack in-depth practical knowledge. Pirates have been sailing the rough seas of startup waters by themselves and know the trade. Throughout their workshops, we learned a lot about our company, aligned on our vision and mission, and got some brilliant ideas for our growth and marketing.
VP Growth at wefox Group
The Si Pirates team helped us to find the right setup for our growth team. Besides their proven market experience we value their dedication, flexibility and curiousity which complements our internal team and provides us with valuable external guidance.
CEO at Bikemap
Working with Si Pirates enabled us to take a look beyond day-to-day business and to identify the key levers to activate exponential growth. Together with Pirates we not only focused our marketing strategy to our core values, but also re-aligned what those values need to look like long-term.
CEO of Playbrush
Speedinvest Pirates and their broad know-how, from creative planning to asset production and implementation, has helped our marketing efforts significantly and bridged internal gaps.
CEO of Storyclash

The Scotch 80s is the hippest spot in Vegas to live these days, but this neighborhood is no flash in the pan.
A home in the Scotch 80s, where many of Las Vegas's young movers and shakers are moving.
For a neighborhood that's long attracted casino titans, world-famous entertainers, and prominent Vegas power brokers, the Scotch 80s is remarkably quaint.
Howard Hughes and Steve Wynn lived here, and Jerry Lewis, Oscar Goodman, and State Senator Tick Segerblom still do. A new generation of Las Vegas players has also found homes in the area: The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers (in the former Howard Hughes residence), actor Nicolas Cage, news anchor Denise Valdez, and Electric Daisy Carnival founder Pasquale Rotella and his wife, entertainer Holly Madison. And, sources say, it's become the neighborhood of choice for Downtown moguls and trailblazers, including Zappos boss Tony Hsieh, who purchased a home on Shadow Lane, and Life Is Beautiful festival creator Rehan Choudhry. "It's the young, hip Vegas," says Michael McGraw, a neighborhood resident and real estate broker who oversees sales for The Agency Nevada (theagencyre.com).
But despite all the flash and cash, the neighborhood, just west of the I-15 and minutes from Downtown, has what residents like to call a small-town feel. "This is a place where you walk your dogs and ride bikes with your kids and wave to your neighbors," McGraw says. "We're all friends. We have each other's e-mails." In 2005, McGraw moved into a Scotch 80s house previously owned by the Duckworth family, investors in Vegas casinos, including the Dunes Hotel, and he has done about 10 real estate deals in the area—which is a lot, given that many of its houses have been owned by the same families for decades.
A planned community that dates back to the 1950s, the Scotch 80s is known for ornate architecture featuring gigantic exposed beams and gracious porte cocheres. It's also noted for the greenery on charming streets like Shadow Lane, Silver Avenue, and Bannie Avenue. It's a place where people used to keep horses in barns and get water from wells. "We have single-story, half-acre residences," says mystery writer Stephen Grogan, who has lived in Wynn's former home for more than a decade. "We have grass and trees." Enough grass, in fact, that World Series of Poker bracelet winner Phil Tom holds the annual Lakeshore Open Golf Tournament (essentially a chipping and putting contest for charity) in his yard.
The dining room at 1801 Silver Avenue.
Another selling point of the Scotch 80s is its cost compared with pricey areas like Summerlin, where houses can sell for upwards of $300 per square foot. McGraw recently sold a home on Silver Avenue for $189 per square foot (and has two more listings at the same valuation), the top price in the neighborhood. He has handled several other Scotch 80s properties this year—including 2120 Silver Avenue (listed for $921,000) and 1800 Silver Avenue (listed for $841,000)—in a community where inventory has historically been low.
Grogan, who runs an organization that battles commercial encroachments in the Scotch 80s, notes that many residents are committing to the neighborhood by renovating their longtime homes. Broker Kenneth Lowman of Luxury Homes of Las Vegas, for example, says 1700 Bannie Avenue, which he's listing for $960,000, "has been completely remodeled on the inside while keeping the period Midcentury Modern architecture that is common in the Scotch 80s." Newcomers, drawn by the buildings' great bones, have been renovating as well.
The neighborhood attracts "people who don't want cookie-cutter homes," says broker Carlos Caipa of Prudential Americana Group. Caipa's recent listings have included the house at 1919 Waldman Avenue, built and owned by Caesars Palace contractor R.C. Johnson. But it's the mix of old-school living and new-school amenities nearby that really makes this a neighborhood with a bright future. Real estate is all about location, and that's a Scotch 80s attraction that's only becoming more attractive.
The four-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot home at 1919 Waldman Avenue sold recently for $450,000.
"It's close to the Strip, close to Downtown, accessible to the freeways," Caipa says. "And now, with the culture downtown, so much is happening." Adds Grogan, who is also chairman of the Las Vegas Arts Commission, "We're in a position to easily get to the Smith Center, we have the hospital close by, we have the Arts District, and we have a rejuvenated Downtown." And after a busy day out, Scotch 80s residents can come home to peace and tranquility. Says Lowman, "The mature trees, gated estates, and quiet streets bring you back to Vegas of the '50s and '60s."
Now the goal for residents is preserving both the history and spirit of the neighborhood. "We've taken a strong stance against commercialization or changing of single-family homes into commercial," Grogan says. "We had a developer who wanted to build a huge parking structure for the hospital across Charleston, which would have caused much more traffic in the neighborhood. We were able to fight and defeat that." His group has also been closely watching nearby developments and "making sure there will be plenty of sound barriers."
"I think we're still in an evolutionary period of the neighborhood," Grogan adds. "It's a neighborhood that maintains a historic look and that has more neighbors who are friends. It's not a neighborhood where the wealthy stay in their houses and you never see them."

Lerner and Loewe's award-winning My Fair Lady – the story of a Cockney flower girl transformed into an elegant lady – takes to the stage this week at Tyne Theatre & Opera House thanks to the talented bunch at WEOS Musical Productions (formerly the West End Operatic Society).
It's a story immortalised on the silver screen by none other than Audrey Hepburn and it's regarded as one of the greatest musicals of all time – so how does this latest Newcastle production fare?
The story
When phonetics professor Henry Higgins encounters grubby flower girl Eliza Doolittle at Covent Garden flower market, he rather pompously professes to his new acquaintance Colonel Pickering that he can transform the young working class woman into a member of high society in just six months.
Keen to improve her job prospects, Eliza later takes him up on the offer. Cue lots of rigorous speech classes, vowel pronunciations beaming from a gramophone and, of course, the ever so classic line 'the rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain'.
The cast
Lucy Sutton takes on the lead role of Eliza Doolittle. Her performance on the opening night was flawless – perfectly capturing the fiery, assertive Doolittle as she evolves from a 'squashed cabbage leaf' into a polished and eloquent young woman who can enchant members of high society with her dazzling facade. Lucy's rousing vocals were outstanding too – I Could Have Danced All Night was a particular highlight.
Jonathan Cash, meanwhile, steps into the role of Professor Henry Higgins and everything about his performance on the night was on point. Wholly captivating, he's a character you love to hate; unsympathetic, flippant, judgemental and egotistical. And yet, you want him to succeed in transforming Eliza, even though he's ultimately not deserving of her affection.
Bringing some punchy comedic flair to the show is Joan Elton who plays Henry's mother – her performance was far too brief!
The production
The story takes place in London during the Edwardian period and both the regal splendour and working class poverty of this era are captured simply yet effectively on stage through painterly backdrops and vintage-inspired props.
Higgins' plush study, Ascot and the decadent embassy ball sit in stark contrast with the gritty street scenes, where men in their flat caps huddle together to keep warm.
There's a surprising number of costume changes throughout the show, but it's Eliza's wardrobe that commands the most attention, as her attire symbolically tells the story of her journey from flower vendor to duchess-in-the-making. She swaps her shabby apron, coat and hat for a beautifully elegant white dress and sparkling hair crown, signifying that – along with her newly acquired refined accent and graceful manners – she has well and truly become an independent 'lady'.
The music
My Fair Lady is brimming with classic songs, from Wouldn't It Be Loverly and On the Street Where You Live to the riotous With a Little Bit of Luck and Get Me to the Church on Time.
Combining exuberant dance numbers with expressive solo performances – the cast done a sterling job throughout, keeping the audience entertained through every twist and turn of Eliza's journey.
The verdict
Once again, the team from WEOS Musical Productions more than deliver with this smashing performance. It's captivating, endearing and a real joy to watch, and whether you're familiar with the story or not, it's certain to smack a smile on your face.
My Fair Lady runs until Saturday 13 April 2019. For tickets, visit tynetheatreandoperahouse.uk.

When you're looking for a lawn care service provider as well as lawn sprinkler maintenance and repair, you want a company that offers more than just the basics. Professional and experienced lawn care businesses provide a wide range of services to ensure your lawn looks great year-round, so you don't have to worry about doing the work yourself while maintaining your home's curb appeal.
But what service capabilities should you look for in a lawn care company? Consider the following lawn care and outdoor living improvement services you should consider when it comes to lawn care businesses.
Lawn care programs. Your lawn needs more than just water to grow healthy and green. Consider looking for lawn care services that provide science-based, ecologically aware lawn care programs that are customized to your lawn's needs.
Lawn sprinkler installation. Lawn irrigation systems are essential to keeping your lawn green and healthy throughout the year. But if you hire an inexperienced or improperly credentialed company to set up your lawn sprinklers, you could end up with a whole slew of problems including dry patches, flooding, and even foundation problems. Look for certified irrigation contractors in your area that offer expert installation and the latest technologies so you can feel confident that you're not only watering your lawn correctly but also saving water when you do it.
Irrigation system maintenance services. Your lawn sprinklers need to stay in good shape to continue providing water to your lawn in a way that's eco-friendly and efficient. Look for lawn care services that provide seasonal scheduled sprinkler services, repairs, maintenance, and replacements.
Landscape lighting. When your lawn looks great, you want to show it off. Fortunately, some lawn care companies also offer low-voltage, artistic LED landscape lighting services to improve your home's security and enhance your property's beauty and curb appeal. Consult with trained landscape lighting designers to find the lighting design for your landscape.
Mosquito, flea and tick control. Nothing can ruin your home's outdoor vibes quite like an influx of mosquitoes or disease-carrying fleas and ticks. While you can spray for these pests yourself, you could potentially over-spray your property and cause damage to beneficial insects such as bees. Look for pest control-licensed companies offering Integrated Pest Management-based (IPM) services: a safe, right-sized approach to mosquito reduction and flea/tick elimination without over-spraying, customized to fit your lifestyle and your property.
Drainage solutions. Some properties suffer from drainage issues like runoff, water intrusion, erosion and more, which can impact the health of the environment due to run-off and can damage your lawn. Consider a lawn care service that provides permanent solutions to these drainage issues through the expertise of a credentialed soil conservation expert.
Looking for lawn sprinkler maintenance and other lawn care services?
The front and back lawns in the U.S. collectively contain about 21 million acres of grass. It's important to take good care of your lawn just like you would any other plant and to consider the environmental and personal enjoyment aspects of your outdoor living spaces.
Bio Green Outdoor Services can help you take great care of your lawn, so it looks great and feels great throughout the year. Whether you need lawn sprinkler maintenance, mosquito control or lawn fertilization, Bio Green offers all those services and more. For more information about our lawn care services, contact Bio Green Outdoor Services today at 703-450-0034.

Section 98 of the Tax Administration Act (28/2011) provides for the withdrawal of an assessment by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) in certain circumstances. Before its amendment, Section 98 allowed for the withdrawal of an assessment – despite no appeal having been noted or objection lodged – that was issued:
- to the incorrect taxpayer;
- in respect of the incorrect tax period; or
- as a result of an incorrect payment allocation.
In terms of Section 98(2) of the Tax Administration Act, an assessment withdrawn under this section is regarded as not having been issued in the first place.
The Tax Administration Laws Amendment Act 2013 has extended the ambit of Section 98 of the Tax Administration Act by introducing further circumstances in which SARS may withdraw an assessment. Section 98(1)(d) provides that SARS may withdraw an assessment when it is satisfied that the assessment was based on:
- an undisputed factual error by the taxpayer in a return;
- a processing error by SARS; or
- a return fraudulently submitted by a person not authorised by the taxpayer.
However, such an assessment may be withdrawn only if the following additional requirements are met:
- The assessment must impose an unintended tax debt in respect of an amount that the taxpayer should not have been taxed.
- The recovery of the tax debt under the assessment would produce an anomalous or inequitable result.
- There is no other remedy available to the taxpayer.
- It is in the interest of the good management of the tax system.
Essentially, the new provisions contained in Section 98(1)(d) can find application only in situations where there is an undisputed factual error by the taxpayer in a return, a processing error by SARS or a fraudulent submission of a return. In addition, four further requirements must be met. The third requirement – which is that there be no other remedy available to the taxpayer – appears to be the most problematic.
SARS's explanatory memorandum on the objects of the Tax Administration Laws Amendment Bill 2013 provides that the reason for the amendment to Section 98 relates mainly to the situation where erroneous assessments are discovered after the expiry of all prescription periods and remedies available to the taxpayer. This may result in a situation that is unreasonable or inequitable. Section 98(1)(d) aims to remedy this situation by allowing for the withdrawal of assessments in specified narrow circumstances.
In light of the rationale for the amendment, it may be argued that the 'no other remedy' requirement in Section 98(1)(d)(iv) is understandable, given that this is precisely the situation that the provision aims to address. On the other hand, attempting to use Section 98(1)(d) as a means of dispensing with an erroneous assessment may lead to disappointment because circumstances under which no other remedy is available to a taxpayer are very rare.
One would have to consider the interpretation of the words 'no other remedy available'. Given the rationale behind creating a remedy for a taxpayer that would suffer inequitable treatment if all prescription periods and remedies were expired, it appears that 'no other remedy' should include a situation where the period for lodging an objection or appeal has expired or where a claim has been prescribed.
The amendments in Section 98(2) of the Tax Administration Act further provide that as an alternative to regarding the erroneous assessment as never having been issued, a senior SARS official may come to an agreement with the taxpayer as to the amount of tax properly chargeable for the relevant tax period and subsequently issue a revised original, additional or reduced assessment pursuant to such agreement. Such an agreed assessment would not be subject to objection and appeal.
While some may be disappointed that Section 98(1)(d) does not necessarily provide a simpler mechanism for doing away with an assessment, those who have discovered that they have suffered loss due to administrative errors or fraud may breathe a sigh of relief.

I was first drawn to this poem by Carol Ann Davis because of its long and curious title. Who is Jenya? How does imagination correspond to a dog's bowl? The peculiarity of these details led me into a surprising poem of weighty questions and deep meditation. Davis asks, "My emptiness / loves yours. Can you hear it?" After a contemplative Lenten season, this poem challenges me to continue to make room for mindfulness and reflection in my life, each and every day. To commit to listening versus distraction. To allow my "animal mind" to empty "its bowl of needs" in order to make room for something larger and more profound to enter. I am grateful for Davis's conviction that we will all find our way to our own form of reverence.
—Jessica Gigot
"To Jenya on First Noticing the Dog's Bowl of My Imagination" by Carol Ann Davis
In all this wind I'm sure you'll find something empty,
an unsent package or the edge of a glass.
Perhaps you'll come back cradled,
released to your barest parts. My emptiness
loves yours. Can you hear it? As grace
and distraction, our many selves bend
in order to sing. You'd tell me
the better to be given over
to what approaches slowly, second guesses—
bird's call in the throat, bone born first
as milk. Mine made lovely for being inborn,
yours that never fills! Vessel to whom
I'm delivered, reckoner and cranium, scholar
of the devoted, what does the heart know
of the space that brushes it? It knows you, of course,
and because it knows it begs. What is devotion
but the animal mind emptying, slowly,
its bowl of needs?

On SATURDAY, JUNE 9 at 1:00 PM, the community is invited to join co-owners Francis and Francesca Lépine at 1425 Vanier Parkway along with special guests to commemorate the past purpose of this property. A preserved part of the Sisters' convent, which now sits near the courtyard of Les Terrasses Francesca, will be unveiled and the building will be blessed. Jean-Pierre Fredette, a priest from the nearby Paroisses Catholique Romaines Saint-Sébastien, and Soeur Simone, f.m.m., a sister of the Franciscan Missionaries, will be present to conduct the ceremony.
This special event will commemorate the Sisters of the Franciscan Missionaries and honour the former life of the property that is now home to Les Terrasses Francesca. Prior to Lépine's purchase of the property in 2011, this lot belonged to the Institut des Franciscaines Missionaires de Marie d'Ontario. It was here that the Sisters lived in a modest convent for 50 years before deciding to move on, placing the property up for sale for a new life and purpose. Today, the Sisters are devoted to working with native communities in northeastern Manitoba by the shores of Hudson's Bay.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - When people showed up for Spotify Technology SA's market debut on Tuesday morning something was amiss: there was a Swiss flag flying in front of the New York Stock Exchange, but the world's No. 1 streaming music company is based in Sweden.
Within minutes, the NYSE, which is owned by Intercontinental Exchange Inc, noticed the mistake and put up the correct flag, alongside two American flags and beneath a massive Spotify banner, but not before it began trending on social media.
Even the NYSE posted on Twitter about the flap.
"We hope everyone enjoyed our momentary ode to our neutral role in the process of price discovery this morning," the exchange tweeted, referring to both Switzerland's historic stance as a neutral country and the exchange's role in price setting.
Spotify's debut was unusual in that it was the NYSE's first direct listing.
That meant Spotify employees and investors were able to sell their shares, but the company was not looking to raise additional capital.
Spotify did not hire investment banks as underwriters and did not undertake an investor road show, as is typical in an IPO.
Instead a market maker collected all of the buy and sell orders and balanced them out to come up with an opening price of $165.90, valuing the world's No. 1 streaming music service at around $30 billion.
Spotify shares ended the day below their opening price, however.

I always smile when I see daffodils blooming in spring. They are so happy with their bright yellow color. Yellow is the most visible color to us humans, so it's no surprise that they are loved most among all spring bulbs by a lot of people. They let us know that warmer weather is upon us and to pack up our winter coats, gloves and hats. I'll toast to that!

Both the House and Senate supplemental budgets include an increase in PERS Plan 2 employer contributions to cover a one-time, ongoing 3% PERS Plan 1 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
While the wording in each budget is slightly different, the outcome remains the same – cities will see a 0.12% increase to employer contributions to fund the COLA effective July 1, 2020. The estimated cost to local governments for the upcoming year is $5.7 million. This is in addition to the $175 million already contributed by local governments to make up the current deficit in the program.
To view 2019 employer contributions to the state retirement system, please refer to the data reported by the Department of Retirement Services.
AWC remains opposed to this increase and will continue lobbying legislators to increase the state's contributions to fund the proposed PERS Plan 1 COLA.

"Daddy, me lose the slingshot": Ky-Mani Marley remembers his only meeting with dad Bob Marley
Ky-Mani Marley offers fascinating evidence in the argument for nature over nurture. At the reggae singer's recent Dubai debut – a birthday tribute to his father, Bob, no less – the 40-year-old soulfully tore through several of Marley's best-loved classics.
Closing with a spirited Redemption Song, Ky-Mani's warm, rasped vocals and ego-less, embrace-all charisma brought only positive comparisons with the patriarch who spawned him (although notably, Ky-Mani didn't touch a guitar).
It must be in the blood. The older Marley passed away when Ky-Mani was just five, and the son – one of 10 recognised biological children born to seven mothers – can recall only one meeting with his father, as recounted in his tune Dear Dad.
When I had the chance to talk to Ky-Mani before Friday's (February 10) concert, for promoters Reggae Beachfest, I couldn't help but ask about this character-shaping encounter. And the story he told – of playing with brother Stephen, four years his senior – was so touching it felt only right to share it uncut, below.
If you haven't already, check the full interview with Ky-Mani here.
"I was very young when he passed away," begins Ky-Mani. "I have one memory of my father, and that was him picking me up from the little town I was from, and he came down in a Land Rover – open back, with a cover – he was with my older brother Stephen and a friend of his.
"I remember he was just coming back from the States. We went out to the country he was from originally. He'd brought back from the States a slingshot which was originally made of metal. For me it was something that I'd never seen before. Growing up we're used to climbing a tree, finding a branch and making your own slingshot.
"Me and Stephen went out into the bush that very afternoon – I guess we said we were shooting birds, we didn't shoot any bird [sic], and somehow the slingshot got lost. Stephen said 'Daddy's going to beat you for losing the slingshot'. I remember saying 'I didn't lose it' – because I pretty much didn't get a chance to play with it.
"Walking back to the house, this little wooden house, I remember [Marley] standing in the doorway. I remember walking up and saying "Daddy, me lose the slingshot". He looked down at me and laughed, and when he laughed I realised I wasn't in trouble, I wasn't going to get a beating, and I walked back to play with my brother.
"It was just that. After he passed away, I still didn't realise, really realise the magnitude of how many people he touched around the world, and how deep he touched them. His music and legacy continue to touch generation after generation after generation – I tell people all the time, the sweetest vibe for me is to go outside and see a five-year-old in a Bob Marley T-shirt. A six-year-old reciting songs word-for-word. A car going by playing one of his songs.
"That is just a wonderful thing to see."

My husband was scheduled for ankle surgery, which we had known about for months. So we thought we would have plenty of time to get a few home projects done between kid summer activities ending and the surgery.
Then the surgery got moved UP!! Insert panic here. We just had a few days to move furniture, paint, have new carpet installed, put everything back and still make it to the hospital in time for the surgery! Whew! It was a busy few days, but we made it.
So with new carpet and paint, the accessories in the rooms needed a makeover as well of course. With everything else we had going on and sucking money out of our bank account, my hubby set my re-decorating budget at $0. Boo!
So here is my first project the bargain price of FREE! It will work for now, but I always have my eyes peeled for the next bargain!
I started with this old DIY lampshade and stripped it of it green/brown flower loveliness
Enlisted the help of a very UN-helpful helper
Dug through my Washi tape collection and found this beauty
It is from Target. I think it is the K & Company brand
Stuck it around the bottom of the lampshade, smoothing out the creases and bubbles as I went
Put it back in its spot and decided it was good for now!
It looks so happy next to my favorite little owl and all for the cost of zero dollars
Check back soon for the other updates I did for nearly nothing. It is really why I HEART the internet so much. They were all tutorials done by some of my favorite Bloggers!

I've been very happy with my Tahoe for a whole lot of years, so I never went in to the Tesla showroom on Newtown Lane in East Hampton. I know that Tesla is the very latest in automobiles and I know it has many innovations that other new cars don't. So finally, last week, I went in. The showroom used to be a small women's boutique. My Tahoe, if allowed in there, would take up practically the whole space, with only a few feet on either side available for salesmen and mechanics and customers.
There are no cars in the Tesla showroom, someone told me, although there is one out back, where the trash bins and store utility units are located. But you can't look at the car. It has a cover over it. And you're not even allowed to peek inside.
I entered the store. Maybe there was a driving experience you could do with a front seat, a steering wheel and a wraparound TV screen like a kid's video game. But there wasn't that, either. There were big blown-up photographs of Teslas hanging on the walls all around. And there was a young, smiling woman named Katie.
"Hi," she said, holding out a graceful hand. "I'm Katie. I can tell you all about Tesla," she said. She handed me her card. It said she was a Customer Experience Specialist.
"Where's the Tesla?" I asked.
She agreed there was one, and it was out back. I could walk down an alley to get to where it was, but I wouldn't be allowed to lift the tarp. Not even a peek.
"I thought this was a showroom," I said.
"The town has all these restrictions," she said. "All these rules. We have a permit here to be an art gallery." She gave a sweeping motion with her arm to the photos on the wall. "That's about it. We can't display the cars. And I'm not allowed to be a salesperson. But I can tell you about it."
"So why have the car?"
"It's for test drives. If you like, I can drive it to your home and you can drive it around. You live around here?"
"I live in Springs," I said. "Three Mile Harbor Hog Creek Road. You from around here?"
"No. But I know everything about Tesla."
"Tell me."
"Well, let's build one together. Would you like a sedan or an SUV?" She pointed to a flat screen on a wall, the only ornament not a photograph. She took me over to it and tapped it. A snazzy three-quarters view appeared showing two Teslas side-by-side, one an SUV, the other a sedan.
"The SUV," I said.
She tapped the screen again. The sedan vanished. Wheels appeared. "You have to select the wheels," she said.
"So it's from the ground up."
"Sorta. We have 22-inch and we have 20-inch. You can see the 22-inch tires are thicker while the rims are thinner. They are best for country driving where the bumps are bigger. The 20-inch wheels are thinner with showy, bigger rims. Very sporty. Best in the city. You live in the city?"
"I live here but have a place in the city."
"A lot of people leave their Teslas in the country and come back and forth on the Jitney."
"That's what I do."
I was beginning to think Katie and I were going to buy a Tesla.
The sedan was the Model S. My SUV was their Model X. Base price $82,500. We picked out the interior—ash wood, tan leather and white pearl. Everything I picked added anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 to the base price. We picked out the batteries. They have two, one in the front and one in the back. There are also two electric motors. They each come in three sizes, the larger ones being more powerful, longer lasting and going longer distances between charges. With the standard configuration you get 237 miles. With the biggest one you get 295 miles.
"We have battery charging stations all up and down Long Island. And you can get a hook up at your home."
"What if I run out of battery power between stations?" I asked.
"You won't. We have two in Southampton, lots more everywhere to New York along the way." She punched the screen and a map of Long Island appeared with lots of dots on it. "And the navigation system will automatically guide you to the nearest one when you get low."
"Can I override it?" I asked.
She hesitated. "Yes. And we also have roadside assistance."
On the screen were transmission choices. One said SUPER, the other said LUDICROUS. Ludicrous speed was from the movie Spaceballs. You could take it up to Ludicrous Speed.
"Zero to 60 in 2.9 seconds" Katie said.
What the hell. "I'll take it," I said. She punched Ludicrous.
I chose HEPA air filtration systems, soft ambient light, LCD fog lights, Alcatura Suede touches here and there, 17 music speakers, the sub-zero weather package, the onboard charger, the heat everything button.
"Is an Alcatura an animal?" I asked. I was thinking the mountains of Nepal.
"No. It's just the name."
I noticed my car was now up to $148,500. "But you get an $8,000 tax credit, $7,500 from the federal government, $500 from the State," she said.
"That's a relief," I said.
I asked if there was a Tesla dealership nearby if things went wrong. She looked like she was about to say things don't go wrong. But she didn't say that. Instead she answered my question.
"There's a service center on Long Island in Syosset. That's the nearest."
"Or they could pick it up?"
"You'd have to arrange it with Syosset. They do want you to come in once a year to go over it."
The car, Katie told me, is completely set up with all the latest self-driving features, but they are turned off. Once laws are in place regarding self-driving cars, the features can be switched on and then the car will take you wherever you want to go just by you telling it where it should take you.
I saw that on the corner of the screen there was an item called Test Drive you could press.
"You said there was no test drive on the screen."
"That's turned off."
"Is there a steering wheel if you turn it on?"
"I can turn it on, but it doesn't do a test drive so there is no steering wheel. It's a test drive scheduler. When it's hooked up, it gives the appointments we have. Sometimes there are referrals from other locations where the customer wants the test drive here."
"Oh," I said.
I had, by this time, told Katie I was writing a story for Dan's Papers. So she knew from whence I was coming.
"Didn't you guys have a trailer set up on the corner of Hampton Road and Montauk Highway in Southampton a couple of summers ago?" I asked.
"That was our Container Popup. Now we're here. Would you like me to schedule a test drive for you?" she asked.
"I'll think about it," I said. "Right now the Tahoe is okay. It goes on the beach. I don't think a Tesla should or would do that. You know, maybe I'll test drive it when the self-driving is approved. I'd just have my telephone robot order it to drive itself over."
"You joke."
But I liked the image. No human interface at all. Just snap my fingers. Everything activates in back of Newtown Lane. Here we go.

I remember my first time trying passion fruit like it was yesterday. We were in Sayulita Mexico, and there was this amazing woman who made ice cream out of her small shop. We stumbled upon her on the second day of our trip. We had been at the beach all day, were sandy and hot, and her smile brought us into her small shop. There were all sorts of creamy flavors such as coconut and mango as well as traditional vanilla. The smile on Lenny's face instantly brightened when he saw passion fruit. He then told me the story of how it grew like crazy on the Azore Islands where his family is from. We decided to each get something different. I went with mango and he picked passion fruit. While mine was delicious, I regret not ordering the passion fruit ice cream.
I have thought about that ice cream ever since, and every summer I say I am going to make it. Needless to say, it is hard to find fresh passion fruit in the Bay Area, so that task has been put on hold. Recently our local Whole Foods began keeping fresh passion fruit in stock. It is expensive, kind of a luxury, but I don't care. I have become the crazy hoarder of passion fruit, and every time I hit the market I bring a couple home, scoop out the pulp and tuck it away into the freezer. That is if I do not eat it first
The weather is hot, and my ice cream maker was itching to be used, so I hit the kitchen to make this passion fruit ice cream. I used the base I typically use for all my ice creams and added passion fruit. It is rich, flavorful and incredibly dreamy. If you are not familiar with passion fruit, it is kind of tart, slightly sweet and a bit floral. The flavor is really unique. With every bite or lick takes me back to a place that is special in my heart.
Needless to say, we made a stop every day back at that little shop in Sayulita for not a single but a double scoop of passion fruit ice cream.
