Spin a globe to find the region from which the next big food trend will emerge, then stop when you get to Southeast Asia. As the consumer global palette develops, there's an opportunity for chefs to experiment with dishes and ingredients from this region. While Thai and Vietnamese cuisine are established menu mainstays, other parts of the region are gaining culinary ground. Here are two cuisines you're likely to be hearing more about in the future.
Filipino flavor: from adobo to ube
Foods from the 7,000 island-nation of the Philippines include both indigenous dishes and newer entrees reflecting Indian, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish influences. Fueled by a breakout ingredient – the bright-purple ube yam– it's a cuisine that's suddenly in the spotlight. This popularity is supported by Filipino-themed fine-dining concepts such as Qui (Austin), Milkfish (New Orleans) and Purple Yam (Brooklyn).
Filipino food is typically spicy, sour and pungent, which appeals to current trends for intensely flavored eating experiences. A familiar entry point might be a dish like Chicken Adobo (see recipe below). The adobo cooking process, a mainstay of Filipino cuisine, stews ingredients with vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorn.
Hmong cuisine adapts and inspires
You can't find "Hmong-land" on a map, because it doesn't exist. And in that sentence, you've learned something important about the nomadic Hmong people, who traditionally lived in mountainous regions throughout Southeast Asia. They assisted American troops during the Vietnam War, then fled Communist regimes as refugees. Keeping in the nomadic tradition of his people is Hmong-American chef Yia Vang, who has no permanent restaurant location and instead conducts regular pop-ups throughout the Twin Cities.
"Hmong is not a type of food, it's a philosophy and way of thinking about food," Vang says. "What makes our food different is the story we tell with our dishes, the way every dish has a narrative." One common dish is stewed pork bones with mustard greens. "In the homeland, you had scrap bones and greens, so you threw it all in a pot and the bones flavored the sauce." It's food that's meant to be shared, which is a key tenet of the cuisine, Vang says. "My dad always says that brothers will share even a grain of rice."
Hmong are master adapters to the culture in which they're living and eating, Vang says, and that's nowhere more evident than in his signature Minnesota Hmong Hotdish, made with Northern Thai Curry Sauce and Braised Pork Belly and topped with the Midwestern favorite, Tator Tots. "I like to play with the idea of something familiar, pay homage, and put a Hmong twist on it."

The long
ride, cycle, train, walk home
It starts with a seven-minute walk from my desk to the bike rack at the entrance to Navy Pier.
There's an elevator ride in there too.
For most of Chicago's bitterly cold and blustery winter that walk is fairly benign if not altogether banal.
You wave to bored shopkeepers walking down the middle concourse of the pier or get out in the brisk wind and chill air to enliven yourself after a long day of work. Usually the former.
But in late spring, on nice days by our standards, they begin to show up to the pier like zombie hoards.
Just a few at first, then small groups, then by the dozens. Drawn to god-knows-what, they mosey about, and I use that term lightly, for I can't really think of a term to depict the kind of slowness with which they mill around more accurately then that, seemingly at peace with the idea of spending ungodly amounts of cash and untold hours at the mysteriously most popular tourist attraction in Illinois.
It's as if Chicago, the greatest city in the world, was left off the list of the best things to do in Illinois.
But I digress.
On a good day, I make my way unaccosted to Illinois Street, where I grab a Divvy bike, the not-so-little, baby blue bicycles fairly newly provided as a transportation alternative by the city of Chicago, and make my way up to the Lakefront Trail.
On a bad day, it can take 10 minutes or more to shoulder your way through the abysmally slow moving crowds that seem to amble at a pace even slower than amble really conveys.
Once out of the clutches of the zombie hoards and their souvenir Bubba Gump Shrimp t-shirts and Margaritaville glasses, I mount my trusty baby blue steed and peddle away in a rush of fresh air and speed, glorious speed.
That is until I reach the Lakefront Trail, which I previously mentioned.
On a nice day, one with a minimal amount of sleet and wind, there are only dozens of trail users to navigate, most of whom stay to their respective sides.
But on a really nice day, basically anything over 40 degrees and no rain or snow, or wind, the trail is as dicey as navigating Michigan Avenue with a Ferrari.
Early spring is worse, because the cyclists who've been cooped up using trainers to get their mileage in tend to want to get out and really let their lightweight speed-machine road bikes bare their teeth.
They don't abide tourists and Divvy bikers, skaters, roller bladers, runners, walkers or anything else that does not move at a smooth 18-22 miles per hour.
Then there are the amblers, those who walk the trail at a pace slightly faster than pier walkers. They are on vacation, so I try not to malign them too much, but getting from A to B with walkers and bike racers to navigate is like playing Frogger with a handicapable frog.
Eventually you arrive at lower Randolph, a veritable oasis of cover and solitude after dealing with the denizens of the Lakefront Trail.
Or it would be, if it were not for the seventeen CTA buses that park there with their exhaust pouring out like so much wasted tax revenue.
I have tried holding my breath, but it simply results in my breathing toxic diesel fumes that much further into my blood stream when I inevitably take a breath for fear of passing out in the dark passageway.
There is relatively little danger in this section, but once in a while a car will pull out of the underground parking without really realizing a cyclist is riding right in front of him or her, and they will proceed to pull out just barely clipping your rear tire as the look to their left for oncoming traffic.
Finally, you come to the light at the end of Lower Randolph, and you prepare to merge into Chicago's version of California's I-405.
You ride out of the dark right into a left-hand turn onto Michigan Avenue. But not just anywhere on Michigan Avenue – the beginning of the Magic Mile.
Or what essentially amounts to 5,280 feet of prime, high-end, 1-percent retail space.
This is not optimal, but this is the preferred route home for me for various reasons.
Once I make the left-hand turn to Michigan Avenue, things get real really fast. It's buses, taxis, pedestrians, and it's every man, woman and child for he,her and itself.
Riding two blocks of Michigan Avenue is a sweat-inducing, panic stricken way to spend your precious after-work minutes, but it's a necessary evil.
It gets me to Madison Avenue and a bike lane that is all but respected by the city's professional and non-professional drivers.
One feels somewhat safe even if that isn't the case.
Here the pace lessons a bit. It's not altogether leisurely, but a rider begins to breathe again and is offered the first real chance at small rests between lights.
Madison is a busy avenue, and one must resist the temptation to people watch, which is all too easy while waiting for green lights. And in certain seasons when the fairer sex unleashes their summer dresses.
Other than making sure a bus does not pinch you between a merciless Mercedes Benz driven by someone who doesn't really notice anyone who makes under six figures and a taxi being driven like a stunt car in an apocalyptic action movie is really your main concern on this stretch of the commute.
If you make it down Madison, you're a quarter of the way home.
At Wacker, you really desire to get through the light, though the walk light shows 10 seconds left. In truth, it will take you 13 seconds to make it over four lanes.
And once the train-bound pedestrians that inhabit the suburbs start to cross the street, you might as well give up and wait, because not even Moses could part that sea of people.
If you have 16 seconds on the pedestrian light, it is usually safe to make it through, but be warned that some pedestrians further up Madison will try to cross with their light, effectively making a super obstacle course for you to dodge.
This is in addition to the bunching up of traffic on the Madison Avenue Bridge, where taxis will do their absolute damnedest to pinch you off from passing them on the left or right sides of the bridge.
They have heard every swear word in the book and are not at all affected by a road-raging cyclist. Believe me, I've seen it.
If you haven't given up and started walking by now, you are just a few quick turns of the peddle from Canal, where you will dismount and walk your bicycle up to the bike rack a block south.
That's if you're a well-behaved citizen. If you're not, you'll ride up the sidewalk or turn down a one-way street further inflicting yourself on the already inflicted traffic.
I have wondered if there is a special place in hell for these people many times, and it's that which keeps me from the same behavior.
You dock your bike and beeline toward Union Station after checking your smartphone and realizing that you have 8 minutes to catch the 5:40 train.
Now you are a pedestrian waiting for the little white man to tell you to go. All the rules you wished pedestrians would keep when you were a cyclist have completely disappeared.
Here where every second counts, you will cross against any light to make your train.
As soon as the first pedestrian twitches, it's go time. You bolt out into the intersection praying that drivers and cyclists value their freedom too much to hit you.
Then you're into the bowels of Union Station, a labyrinth of joy and despair, depending on the little red messages flashing next to your train's number on the boards.
You're either delayed or on-time. If you're on time, that only means you'll get out of the station relatively close to your scheduled departure, it does not guarantee a delay free trip.
You skip the escalator, because it's America, and it's the escalator, not French Fries that is killing us.
You recognize three or four other runners desperately hoping to make the 5:40.
You follow the lead one through the gap until they run into a crushing wall of people pooling around the tunnel to their delayed train.
You pray it is not your train.
You duck, shove, push, poke and ram trying to get to your platform.
It's number 10, usually, but sometimes they change it.
You strain your neck to see if it says Southwest Service, and when you find the list of stops, Wrightwood, Oak Lawn, Worth, you breathe a little easier.
It is 5:38, and for some reason they turn the lights off in the train as you're bolting down the platform looking for open seats before boarding.
They do this every day.
I park at the far end of my lot in Palos Park, so I usually try to get to the end of the train.
But time is running out.
It's 5:39, and you know the conductors are standing back down the platform with sadistic grins on their faces watching you race time and yourself home.
You're halfway between train entrances and you hear the female robotic voice come over the loudspeakers.
{{The doors are closing}}
Four cars from the end of the train, you dash through the double doors just as they start to shut.
Breathing hard and sweating profusely, you find an empty seat in one of the old cars that is either too hot or too cold. It's the only place you'll have your own seat.
The next 45 minutes, well, 35 minutes giving the time it will take you to calm down and gain your composure, are the first few minutes of your day to relax and try to unwind.
But like everyone else on the train, you will pull out your phone or your tablet and start looking for information.
At some point you will check your email, because there is a red number 5 over it, and you will peruse a few late work emails.
Inevitably, someone will have waited until you left the office to send you that nastygram they've been writing in their head all day.
You read it and your blood pressure rises, your fingers shake and you lose that precious 35 minutes of relaxation you could have had if you didn't check your email.
But you will check your email. You always check your email.
You write a reply in your head, but you've learned that you have to let some time pass, so you let it eat away at your soul while trying to peruse Facebook and resist the temptation to write passive aggressive posts that mean nothing to anybody.
Eventually your stop rolls up and your make your way to the train doors where the conductor is standing, and if he's not standing there, he will appear out of nowhere and ask you to move.
That first breathe of fresh air is a good one. Good country air, or so one imagines it.
You plod down the platform with the 50 other passengers and cross the tracks after the train finally departs.
You have to remind yourself that you are not home yet.
Those 50 passengers are getting in their cars and scrambling for two bottle necking exits to the parking area.
The more zen of the passengers sit in their car until things have cleared out.
But you don't have your 20-year commuter badge yet, so you pull out quickly trying to beat the four people around you fumbling for keys in purses and briefcases.
You, smart guy, found your keys on the train and carried them in hand to your car.
Fat lot of good that does you.
You are now log-jammed in as some idiot six cars up decides he wants to try and make a left turn.
This close to home, this close to supper time, no one is in the mood for this.
Honking ensues, angry fists, angrier fingers, shouts and profanities fill the quiet suburbs as the city unleashes itself on the the tree-lined streets.
"You can't adapt to commuting, because it's entirely unpredictable. Driving in traffic is a different kind of hell every day." – Daniel Gilbert

All of sudden the dollar has become Mogambo for the investment market as both Equity and Debt markets have become very volatile. News channels have shifted their bases in coffins, and have started using terms like "bloodbath", "butchered" and "bankruptcy". Are you also disturbed? If your answer is Yes or May-be-little types, this article is for you. Yes your fear of investments turning into negative returns and panic is understandable but not justified if you have set your goals and believe in your financial plan. And the challenge to control your emotions, to stay away from panicking and taking impulse decision regarding your portfolio has come now. And it is not so hard if you believe in basics.

This article is part of EQUITY Series – that I started last week. This post is inspired from Nick Murray – he is financial advisor's coach, based in US. My firms name (Ark) is also inspired by one of the books written by Nick Murray.
Superior Lifetime Returns
First we have to understand "Superior Lifetime Returns" – it's not the highest return in the cosmos but return that is required to achieve goals with minimum time, effort & stress. If you stick with these principles & practices – they will account for 90% of your investment success. So goal is never to earn the "maximum return" or "be in safe zone returns". So here are the 3 Principals and the 3 Practices:
3 Principles
First and foremost principle is Faith – if you have "faith in the future" nothing else matters and if you don't have "faith in the future" nothing else matter. You have to understand that there is difference between HOPE & FAITH. Hope is the state which promotes the desire of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life or in the world at large. But we don't have proofs for hope but faith is based on historical data and facts. So you have Hope from your kids and not Faith. Last week I shared some data to restore investor's confidence but our media can shake confidence of anyone. Currently media is comparing current situation with 1991 crisis, and they may be right but in the same period our index has gone up by 16 times or CAGR of 13.5%.
Read: Indian Equities – Past, Present & Future
Warren Buffett said "The Stock Market is a highly effective mechanism for the transfer of wealth from the impatient to the patient." Even who don't lose faith easily lose patience based on current situation. Most of people focus more on breaking news than their goals. Even the long term investor will say, let me right now shift to debt till the things improve but he should remember, now he is taking responsibility and stress of being right TWICE – one at the time of exiting present investments & then to enter at the right time again. So now focus is shifting to "Timing the Market" – which is undoubtedly worst strategy for retail investor.
Read: Secret of Achieving High Returns.
One study suggests, more changes you will make in your portfolio, lesser will be the returns – another study suggests more often you look at your portfolio, lower the returns. So what one should do?? Read 3 practices that are given in second part of this post & stick with them.
Patience will help in not doing wrong things and Discipline will help in keep doing right things. Not far back, Indian investors learned benefits "Systematic Investment Plan" but now I realize that it was just because of herd mentality. I keep getting queries on TFL – "how I can discontinue my SIPs & redeem funds?" and even industry data suggest the same thing that investors are closing the SIPs. In 2010 I wrote this article "Do you really understand SIP" – this talks about why I am saying it was just herd mentality. When discipline fails, the plan fails.
3 Practices
Principles dictate practices – if you don't believe in principles, these practices will be counterproductive.
Asset Allocation
Combination of asset classes in different proportions is called a Portfolio. And the PROPORTION in which these assets are mixed is called ASSET ALLOCATION. Asset allocation means dividing the ratio of asset classes for investments as per the RISK and TIME HORIZON of the investment. So your asset allocation can be like-
- 50% Equity 50% Debt
- 50% Real Estate 40% Debt 10% Equity
- 40% Real Estate 40% Debt 10% Equity 10% Gold
- 70% Equity 20% Debt 10% Gold
Or whatever that you or your planner decide.
Diversification is a portfolio in particular asset class. If we are talking about equity (and we are sticking with Mutual Fund for that purpose) – adding 2 large cap funds & 2 mid cap funds is a diversification strategy. If we talk about debt – that can be split in FDs, Bonds, PPF etc. Make sure you don't under-diversify or over-diversify. Also remember with whatever efforts you make, you will never be able to invest in best performers of future – for that you need a time machine to go back in history.
In Asset Allocation the weightage of each asset class are kept constant. Once you have made this portfolio you just need to rebalance it at pre-decided date. The profit in the asset lass which outperforms is booked & the proceeds are used in the asset classes which underperform in that particular period. This is done keeping the original weightage of the asset class in the portfolio. (same can be done at individual asset level – diversification)
You can read more about Asset Allocation & rebalancing here.
Feel free to share your view – what you are going through & what you feel about that.

|Algal nitrogen fixation on solid surfaces and temperate agricultural soils
|Featherstone-Witty, John
|Awarding Body:
|University of London

|Royal Holloway, University of London
|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
This thesis examines various factors controlling algal nitrogen fixation and nitrogen release in temperate agricultural soils. New apparatus for investigating nitrogenase activity on uniform soil grown algal crusts and for the in situ estimation of nitrogen fixation in the field is described. The effects of oxygen concentration and temperature on acetylene reduction by soil grown cultures of Nostoc ellipsosporum in the light and in the dark suggest that ATP generated by oxidative phosphorylation contributes to fixation even in the light. The oxygen concentration giving optimum nitrogenase activity depends on the intensity of illumination, largely because of the continuing contribution from dark fixation. The oxygen dependant acetylene reduction continued throughout the night in the field at 20% of the midday rate. This proportion is dependant on daytime light intensity and day/night temperature drop. The release of nitrogenous compounds by soil and sand grown cultures of N. ellipsosporum was investigated in the laboratory. Algal cultures growing on sand released only 2% of the total nitrogen compared with 10% released by liquid cultures. Freezing to below -3°C, drying to less than 4% moisture or pathogenic infection all cause extensive cellular lysis with a concomitant loss of nitrogenase activity, followed, after several days, by a surge in ammonia concentration. The recovery of nitrogenase activity after re-wetting was investigated in the field after a period of dry weather. All samples achieved a steady rate of nitrogenase activity after 400 minutes irrespective of the magnitude of recovery. Nitrogenase activity in the field was monitored at weekly intervals using an in situ technique over a two year period on Broadbalk, one of the Rothamsted classic plots sown to winter wheat. The seasonal fixation rates varied from 1.4 to 28 Kg/ha depending on the fertilizer and herbicide treatment. The greatest seasonal fixation was given bynon-herbicide plots receiving 48 Kg N/ha of applied nitrogen. The effect of various species of algal inoculum was investigated on 60 plots sown to winter wheat with and without irrigation and added nitrogen. A significant increase in fixation was produced and the most effective treatment was a liquid application of N. ellipsosporum. Both the N. punctiforme and Anabaena cylindrica were more effective when applied as dried sand cultures. The most important single factor limiting algal development in field experiments was soil moisture.

Travel Points
|Mon Aug 1 20:38:11 2005
Gaining travel points now depends, much more than before, on the places you have already visited. - You gain points by visiting places *you* haven't been to in the past few MUME weeks. This means, running to the nearest legend home every time you log in will grant fewer points than before. Walking through those hills you haven't visited in a while, on the other hand, will give more - even if other players have just been there. - Beside the points you gain from going to places you haven't seen in a while, there is now a consistent bonus for the first time you ever visit a new zone. You gain this bonus even if you remain on the main road. For example, walking from Fornost to the Grey Havens should grant you about 1500 travel points the first time you do it. - To compensate for the new-zone bonus, the tp requirement to gain new levels has been increased. As a consequence, high level characters may find themselves short of a few thousand tps for their current level. If you are in this situation, my suggestion is - before taking any risks, make a quick walk around Arda to gain your first-visit zone bonus. No reimbursements will be given if you disregard this advice, die and lose a level because of missing tps. As usual, expect some tuning in the next days.

Aquarius 2018 Horoscope
Follow your star
2018 will be a milestone year in so many ways, Aquarius. You're ready to aim high and achieve the goals you once only dreamed were possible. Lucky for you, there will be remarkable cosmic support to help you reach whatever it is you hope to.
As the year begins you might feel as if you've reached a turning point. Perhaps you're ready to say goodbye to a relationship that is no longer serving you; either personally or professionally. Eclipses on January 31 in your partnership sector, and then on February 15 in your sign, will signal a shift in at least one close personal connection. Fortunately, you'll be in the driver's seat of this transition, and will likely feel empowered by the decision to move on without this person in your life. A separation where you somehow remain friends will be your ultimate goal, and if anyone can attain this, it's you.
Jupiter will offer you the most brilliant career prospects for most of the year. Shining at the top of your chart until November 8, you can anticipate the most glorious opportunities for advancement. If you're considering starting a new business, go for it! This will also be a year for promotion, honors, and a positive change in status. Expect more money connected to the realization of your professional goals near May 25 and again on August 19.

Shaky foundations
In other news, you might feel as if it's time to make a major change at home. The itch to move or somehow renovate your existing living space will be strong. This feeling will be prominent between May 15 and November 6 while Uranus, the great awakener of the zodiac, dips into your home and family sector. There might be a couple of shakeups domestically, but at the same time, you'll feel ready to experience something dramatically different at home in order to provide you with the security you seek. Ironically, during this time you'll feel as if the only way to feel secure is to go with the flow of change.

Losing traction
You might hit a rough patch from June 26-August 27 when Mars will retrograde, mainly in your sign. If you are planning to start a new business or pursue a major personal endeavor, be sure to start well before or after these dates. If you start anything that requires stamina and entrepreneurial effort, while Mars is out of phase you're likely to feel deflated -- or even defeated. Use this time to re-strategize plans if you notice any existing problems.
Adding to the potential tension during this time will be a cranky Lunar Eclipse in your sign on July 27. This eclipse will be at a rough angle to Uranus, wedged in your home and family sector. An unexpected domestic situation might rattle you, and with Mars also being retrograde, it's possible that you'll feel powerless to do anything about it. If this happens, take a deep breath and remind yourself that change is the only way to achieve growth. And no matter what, Aquarius, this is your year for evolution. Stand tall.

Over the years, sales of handheld vacuums have drastically increased as more and more people are not only becoming aware of their convenience, but also impressed with the improvement in technology.
However, there are still too many people who still don't know how to buy the best handheld vacuum cleaner due to being uninformed of the various aspects of a handheld vacuum.
With the rising amount of different brands and models available, it's easy to be misled into buying something that doesn't meet your standards. We're here to keep you well informed so that you end up getting the best handheld vacuum cleaner for your needs.
You can see what we consider to be the best in Our Top 10 Best Handheld Vacuum Cleaners Comparison Chart.
How To Buy The Best Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
What is the main reason why you're getting a handheld vacuum cleaner? Do you have pets that shed a lot of hair and need something does will do an effective job of cleaning it up? Do you want a vacuum that does a good job of cleaning inside of a vehicle? Or do you need a device that can easily clean stairs, carpet and upholstery?
Perhaps it's all of them. Your reason will ultimately determine which handheld vacuum cleaner will fit your purpose. Though you have to bear in mind that many handheld vacuum cleaners are not designed to replace a full sized vacuum, but rather as an addition to it. Some of the most important factors you must take into consideration are stated below.
Design & Technology
Every handheld vacuum cleaner will offer something different than the next. Certain models are designed more for cleaning carpets and upholstery while others are more suited to hard floors.
There are some simple yet effective models, and there are models that incorporate sophisticated technology, as seen in many Dyson vacuums.
Think about whether the handheld vacuum is designed for your needs and if it's worth paying the extra price for the additional technology.
Corded Or Cordless
Most people prefer the convenience of a cordless handheld vacuum cleaner, but are unaware of the benefits a corded one can provide. Although a cordless model is easier to take around, allowing you to clean anywhere without having to worry about kids tripping over a wire, there are certain weak points that may affect your decision.
Such factors include limited cleaning time, the suction power is sometimes not as strong as corded models and they're often more expensive too.
On the other hand, a corded handheld vacuum cleaner can be used however long you want, great if you have long cleaning tasks, and they will provide you with consistent suction power to do a good cleaning job, not to mention the fact that they're usually cheaper.
Decide a corded or cordless handheld vacuum cleaner will benefit you the most. You can read more in-depth about this in our articles on Corded VS Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaners.
What Battery To Get
If you've chosen a cordless handheld vacuum cleaner, then the next step is to make sure that you're getting one that has a decent battery. A weak battery will seriously hinder the vacuums suction power, charge and run time, as well as lifespan.
It's advisable that you go for cordless vacuums that adopt a Lithium Ion battery, since they've been proven to hold a charge for longer, they can hold more energy per volume and they do not lose energy memory during or after a charge.
What Attachments Are Included
Most handheld vacuum cleaners have attachments included and some models even have them built-in, while other models don't have anything included at all.
If you want to thoroughly clean your home or vehicle, then you will need the right tools that will get into confined areas, corners and edges.
Commonly used tools are the crevice tool, brush, upholstery and pet cleaning tool and a stretch hose.
Where To Buy The Best Handheld Vacuum Cleaners
The cheapest option is often not the best option. Ideally, you would want a handheld vacuum cleaner that provides you with the best value for your money. Certain products have great features and benefits, but appear to be overpriced. Are you willing to pay more for something you will make use of?
You just have to make sure that when you make your purchase, the online or offline seller that you purchase from will honor the warranty period set out by the manufacturers.
Buying Direct From Manufacturers
One way of getting a handheld vacuum cleaner from a reliable source is to purchase directly from the manufacturer's website. Many of the major brands such as Black & Decker and Dyson have an online presence these days, and they usually provided demo videos and FAQs on their websites.
Buying directly from manufacturers give consumers a sense of security that many chain stores and second hand stores cannot. However, manufacturers usually sell their products at the MSRP, meaning that you won't get the best price.
More often than not, online retailers such as Amazon have better prices due to their great offers and discounts.
Buying From Reputed Retailers
Since the big retailers buy stock in huge bulk quantities, they're able to provide discounts and good deals, thus passing their savings onto their customers.
Amazon is the largest and most well-known online retailer, and one of the largest retailers in the world. They constantly have excellent promotional deals and offer a huge product selection from a large number of third-party retailers, as well as their own store.
In our opinion, Amazon.com offers the most competitive prices, has superb customer service and provides the best online shopping experience.
Remember that it's always a good idea to check online reviews and feedback from real life customers before you make your purchase. Their shared experiences can also help you decide on what the best handheld vacuum cleaner is for you.

For years, you've heard me bitching and moaning about the death of vinyl and the ungodly shittiness of digital music. When I hear that, in the past year, CD sales plummeted another 20 percent and vinyl rose by 14 percent, it gives me hope. When I walk into Best Buy and see hundreds of records, I am even further encouraged. There may be a light at the end of a decades long tunnel.
Let me recount a few of the innumerable reasons vinyl is better. I know I've said all this before, but it's time for a refresher...
1. Analog sounds better than digital. Just ask the Foo Fighters who just recorded a fully analog LP. It's a warmer, fuller, more organic sound. When it's played at a high volume on a great stereo, there's simply no comparison to digital. It's like crappy Van Helsing level CGI vs. live action. One is just sterile and fake, the other is the real deal.
2. Album art is miles better on a record. The canvas is bigger with vinyl; whereas the canvas on a CD is drink coaster size, and with mp3 is nonexistent.
3. Vinyl is tangible. You're more likely to purchase something you can hold in your hand, and possibly keep for years, versus something that is as insubstantial as air.
4. Vinyl lasts longer. Vinyl may get scratched, but it's rarely a fatal injury. More often than not, there's just a brief crackle. Pour bongwater on a CD and it's ruined; pour it on a record and it's cleaned.
5. Buy a Sabbath record and you've got something special. Download a Sabbath album on iTunes and you're just another asshole who actually paid money for Sabbath songs.
6. Albums were cohesive pieces of art - you didn't always purchase them for one song. You listened to the whole damned thing because it was too much effort to skip to the next track, and you grew to appreciate every song. CDs and mp3s are all about the one or two songs that make big piles of cash; the rest are throwaway fillers.
7. You can collect vinyl; collecting CDs is about as ridiculous as collecting cassette tapes.
No, the only way people are ever going to pay for music is if the format changes. Digital music is too easily swiped, too sterile and lifeless, and feels too much like you're buying nothing. There will always be a place for it, but artists and record companies will never get rich off it. Is there a single chain music store in your entire city that's still open? Tower Records, Turtles, Camelot, Sam Goody all went bye-bye; FYE bought many out, but sales have been steadily slipping.
And, frankly, the amount spent on iTunes doesn't nearly account for the losses in chain music store sales. In fact, the iTunes impact has been vastly overrated. Amazon still sells more CDs than Apple sells downloads. Paying hard earned money for an iTunes download will just never catch on like the media thought it would. It's a rip off any way you slice it. We don't want the recording artists to get shafted, but in this day and age when no one gives half a shit about the "art", I wouldn't bank on the populace forking over cash to help out "artists" like Lil' Wayne and Lady Gaga.
Most people simply have just stopped buying music altogether. So, if you were a record company in the year 2000, you basically had two choices: (1) adapt to the new world or (2) hire an expensive legal team and start suing. We all know what option they chose, and thus all are either dead, dying or swallowed by Viacom.
So, if you're going to start making money selling music, it's probably not the best strategy in the world to close your eyes and pray for digital music to go away. Perhaps, it's time to hype up another format - a format that is far far different than digital. One that you can hold in your hands, collect, and even grow attached to. That format is vinyl.... and it seems like the record companies and retail chains are finally starting to catch on.
If only they had been reading Retrospace, they would have found out sooner.

A journey Chelyabinsk - London - Chelyabinsk took 12500km. It was an interesting experience. Be careful with your dreams.
I was living in Chelyabinsk, at the beginning of the 2012 year, I eventuality got tickets to Red Hot Chili Peppers performance in Saint Petersburg. My friend advised to get to Saint Petersburg by car (Just FYI it is about 2700km in one way).
It was the most important day of my life. A big boss from headquarter was visiting our Chelyabinsk office. We organized a BBQ & a sauna. I, my workmate & head honcho were sitting in the sauna. I & my friend were describing our idea. The idea was to visit RHCP performance in Saint Petersburg by car. when he suddenly said: "If you come to our London office by car, I will pay over all your expenses".
We check a car, stuck stickers, crammed all our stuff & headed to Saint Petersburg. It was my first long journey by car. We arrived in Ryazan (it took 16 hours), took a nap & continue our journey to RHCP performance. We picked up 3 friends in Moscow and finished the first part of the trip in Saint Petersburg. It took about 20 hours instead of 12. We visited marvellous RHCP performance and went home. We parked the car in Ryazan and continue our journey by train. We did it because our goal was to visit London by car. We planned to continue some months later…
2012, glorious summer was beginning. I, my friend and big boss from the United Kingdom were sitting in a sauna. I and my friend were describing our crazy idea to visit RHCP performance by car in Saint Petersburg(it is about 2700km in one way). Big boss abruptly stopped us and said: "If you visit our Leeds office by car, I will pay you back all expenses". We just laughed. Some months later we visited RHCP performance and my friend remembered about the proposal. It was a tough decision, however, we decided to do it. So we parked a car somewhere in Rayzan & returned to Chelyabinsk by train. Some months later in September we returned to Ryazan & continue the journey.
The first hop from Ryazan to Drezden took 2200km & 31 hours. It was non-stop & non-sleep driving. We were young & decided to buy 2 different beers & compare it at every overnight stop. We were really exhausted after the first hop, however, we went out to the city centre.
The second target was Bruges. It was 900km/9.5hours - as easy as pie. We were astonished to look 180km/h at lanos speedometer, visited Herlen in Netherland & Keln by the way. There were two fails
The next day we walked through Bruges city centre, tasted one the most delicious beer Kwak(under the legal limit), arrived in a port and boarded to a ferry.
The sun was shining on the sea, we were going from Bruges to Hul by sea. We arrived in the United Kingdom. A border guard was really confused that we arrived from the middle of Russia. We faced left road country and carefully headed into our Leeds office. A few kilometres later we adapted ourselves to left-handed roads. We finally understood that won the bet, then received SMS with code from office door and arrived in the office. Unfortunately, our boss forgot about the bet.
We stayed at a traditional British semi-detached house. There were a lot of strange things in the house:
Our workmates organized some parties and we visited genuine British local pubs. Nevertheless, we continue our journey, our goal was London. We arrived in London and faced the car-packed city. Fortunately, our apartments included parking. We visited Abbey road, Telehouse data centre, deleteagency office, London Bridge, Westminster abbey, etc.
We woke up and found out that our car was blocked. Occasionally we found a driver who blocked our car. We arrived in the seaport and took queue to a ferry. When we arrived in France, we abruptly understood that it was the wrong city. We had messed up the ferry and arrived to at Dunkirk. Hopefully, there was no long distance between Dunkrik and Calais. We were looking for frogs legs, so we walked through the city. Actually we found loath gangs, fortunately, they were not interested in us. Also, I noticed some facts:
Next day we headed to Berlin. It was one of the easiest parts of the journey. There were a few traffic jams in rush hours, nothing special. We strolled through the city centre, went out to a bar and went sleep before one of the hardest parts of the journey
When we continued the journey, we found that our blinkers didn't work. We tried to troubleshoot it without success. We supposed that it was an issue an linked with alarm, however, it was the wrong assumption. It was a tough decision, but we continued the journey with broken blinkers. A few hours we arrived at Bialystok and faced a lot of different issues:
Hopefully, we didn't do tax-free, so we skip the queue. We had arrived in Belarus & faced the icy road. A few hours later we arrived in Moscow and faced terrible traffic jam. We spent 6 hours for 240km, especially 3 hours for 30km somewhere at MKAD. Not far from Ryazan we were stopped by a policeman, it was the first and the last for the whole journey. Five kilometres later we had arrived at friend's apartments and finished 40 hours/2000km non-stop part of the journey.
The next day we continued the journey. First 1500km we did without major issues. However, not far from Ufa we had stopped at traffic jam because awesome crash, we found a shortcut through narrow mudfull road. A bit later we had encountered a flat tire & needed to change the tire. Some hours later we were driving across Ural Mountains Chain, it was snowing hopefully we arrived home without any new issues.
It was an extremely interesting experience. Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it…

How I currently set up a Raspberry PI to run a Node.js application
Buy Raspberry PI and SD card.
Download Raspbian Jessie Lite:
Unpack the image file, insert the SD cart, and write the image onto the card.
On a mac, using the terminal, first identify the sd card disk:
diskutil list
Unmount the disk identified, for example /dev/disk1 (not disk1s1)
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
Write the image
sudo dd bs=1m if=2017-04-10-raspbian-jessie-lite.img of=/dev/disk1
Now over to the PI
Insert the SD card, connect a monitor and a keyboard, connect a network cable, boot up
Set password and enable SSH in raspi config that starts on first boot.
If you don't have a monitor, these are the keystrokes needed in the current version of Rasbpian Jessie Lite (4.4) to enable SSH, enter them slowly to be sure the raspberry has time to do stuff:
Power on the PI. Wait 2 minutes for it to boot to be sure. Type "pi" + ENTER Type "raspberry" + ENTER Type "sudo raspi-config" + ENTER (if you're not on an american keyboard the - sign is on the key to the right of 0) Arrow down 8 times + ENTER Arrow down 3 times + ENTER ENTER + ENTER TAB + TAB + ENTER
Find out the IP and connect via SSH using the terminal:
ssh [email protected]
If you want to connect the raspberry directly to your mac via an ethernet cable;
Make sure you have DHCP enabled in Network Preferences, Go to Sharing menu, enable Internet Sharing from Wi-Fi.
Connect the raspberry, let it boot up, type
arp -a
to find out the IP, one of the devices should be it, it's usually something like 192.168.2.2.
Connect with the ssh command as mentioned above.
Once you'r in, first update and upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Set the su password:
sudo passwd
Install node via for example from Heroku
wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb
Ok, now node is installed and we're all set.
The following instructions assumes you already have created a node app that you want to pull from a git repository.
Create a deployment directory, i usually create deploy in /opt/deploy/xxx
You should generally never use sudo with git commands, so make sure pi is the owner of the deployment directory:
sudo chown -R pi /opt/deploy/
To set up git access, if this PI will be managed by others that don't know your git password, it's a good idea to set up deployment ssh key. That way you can pull from git without a password.
Refer to your git service documentation on how to set this up.
I use bitbucket, here's the procedure:
First, on the PI, create a SSH key:
Just press enter for "enter a file" and password.
To get the content of the key, type:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Select and copy to clipboard.
Then go to the git hosting service in add this key.
Then you should be able to clone:
git clone ssh://[email protected]:XXXX/XXXX.git
If this does not work and you get permission denied errors – make sure you don't run the command as sudo, but instead set the correct owner.
Next install node modules, in the root folder of the project
npm install
Assuming you have a package.json file that specifies the dependencies.
Test run the app:
node app.js
Next up, you want to set up the node app to start on boot.
Recently I've been using Express generator more and more;
express –view=hbs –git myproject
I prefer using Process Manager 2:
sudo npm install pm2 -g
Next, set up pm2 to start on boot
sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi
Next start the app
pm2 start app.js
Try it out by rebooting. It's recommended to restart and stop the PI using commands like reboot, to prevent possible errors and loss of data:
sudo reboot
When you log on again, the command:
pm2 list
Should show the app running.
Also, get to know the other pm2 commands, like pm2 restart, pm2 stop and pm2 delete.
And note that pm2 puts everything that is written to the console in ~/.pm2/logs/ for debugging.
If you want to use port 80 without running the app as sudo (which you generally shouldn't) here's one way to solve this:
sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/local/bin/node
That's it. Now you have an autostarting, git deployable node.js application running on the raspberry.
I will soon add: How to set fixed ip + how to connect the pi directly to a mac.

This year's New Times "Best Of" issue is out and Sweat was named Best Coffeehouse! We take pride in our selection of (delicious, vegan) drinks and signature creations, and indeed highly encourage looking up baby animal pics on our wi-fi:
"Sweat is the city's only vegan coffeehouse. You'd think herbivorous caffeine fiends would be banging down the door. They'd do anything to avoid Starbucks' ludicrous 60-cent upcharge for soy milk. But not so much. Instead, the chocolate coconut lattes ($4) and Panther Coffee espressos at this music lovers' paradise are still on the DL. The Vanilla Iced Rice Baby ($3.21 for a regular) is a piquant treat — an iced, toasted rice green tea with vanilla milk (almond or soy, pick your pleasure). Pair it with a vegan cookie and use the free Wi-Fi to look up kale smoothie recipes and baby animal pics on Pinterest. You'll feel like you're in Portland — till you step outside into the sunshine."
Props to Panther Coffee for winning Reader's Choice, and to all of our other friends (O Cinema, AHOL, Supermarket Creative, Deaf Poets, many more) who received nods. The massive annual edition covers a huge array of food, fun, and frolic around South Florida and is definitely worth checking out.

How does Rachel make me cry so much in a mafia book?? HOW!?!?! I knew Phoenix would have a great story, but I had no idea how heartbreaking it would be. I think she broke my heart, from the very first page, chiseled at it a few times, dumped salt on it for a while, and then finally decided to fix it, almost at the very end. My nerves were all twisted up.
I am a Killer. A Rapist. A Monster.
I know only pain and survival.
That is until the Cappo's sister walked into my life.
And changed everything.
She's a light who makes my darkness darker, her smile makes my heart turn to ice, and I can't escape the fear her seductive looks instill–knowing it's only a matter of time before I fail–again, and take her for myself.
This is the story of my redemption.
But it's not pretty…I died, and now I'm alive, but not living, breathing but not surviving. I am Phoenix De Lange, son to a murdered mob boss, estranged brother, horrible friend, monster in the making, newest leader to one of the most powerful families in the Cosa Nostra.
And I will have my vengeance.
Or die trying.
I am Phoenix De Lange.
Death is all I know.
Until she offers me a piece of life–I can't resist taking.
Phoenix's life wasn't easy, by any stretch of the imagination. He born of a monster and brought up to be a monster. He deserves nothing good. He is evil. But then she shows up and is determined to prove to him that the past can't change her feelings for him. But he can't let it go.
"You are everything that's beautiful and pure in this world, and you deserve so much better than this life, than what any of us have to offer. Than what I have to offer."
Bee has been alone all her life. She's lived with an evil father who would've let horrible things happen to her, until Phoenix came in and defended her. He was he only friend. She needed him. She wanted him. She loves him. But how can make him realize that? No matter what she does He keeps pushing her away. Light and dark can never be together.
Sometimes watching Bee love Phoenix so much, and having him dismiss her, was painful to see. She just wants to be wanted, but he is there as her protector, nothing else. Day after day he turns her down, but she is very determined.
"The best thing you can do is love him from afar."
"But I want to love him close." I choked on the words. "I want to save him, I can do it, I know I can, if he just tried.."
"It slices me open to say this, Bee, but Phoenix," her eyes filled with tears. "He's beyond saving."
This is a story about redemption, forgiveness of others and oneself, and of course, love. No matter how dark your past is, no matter how much hurt you caused, there is a way to redeem yourself. You just have to find the right people to help you achieve it, and accept that you are worthy of it.

Antique Glossary
GadrooningA term derived from the French word 'godron', which means 'ruffle', it's a carved decorative edge moulding , often found on the handles and rims of C18th silver, which is composed of a series of raised convex curves. In furniture, the term applies to an ornamental carved edge of tapered, curving and alternating concave and convex sections, usually diverging obliquely either side of a central point. This decoration is also found set square to the edge, in which case, on furniture, it's called Nulling.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stock markets erased earlier gains and declined from a seven-week high on Tuesday, after weak regional manufacturing data from the U.S. spurred concerns about the sector's recovery.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index /zigman2/quotes/210599654/delayed XX:SXXP +0.11% dropped 0.3% to close at 299.44, breaking a four-session winning streak.
Reasons for economic hope emerge

The index had been trading in narrow ranges in recent days, with slightly better-than-expected earnings enough to push the broader market into positive territory in low volume trades.
"I don't see any catalysts at the moment and I think in general if we look at equity markets it's a place you want to be neutral mostly because of valuation," said Wouter Sturkenboom, investment strategist Russell Investment.
"The outlook for growth is okay, not a big negative, but not a big positive either. It's a neutral story rather than a bullish story. Growth and earnings will have a hard time living up to current valuations on the three-to-six month horizon," he added.

Instead, he said, his firm was overweight high-yield bonds, but underweight government bonds such as gilts, bunds and Treasurys.
The pan-European index had traded in positive territory for most of Tuesday, but started moving lower alongside U.S. stocks after the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond said its measure of manufacturing softened considerably in July. The downbeat reading fueled worries that the U.S. manufacturing is not broadly on track, although similar polls in the Philadelphia and New York regions last week pointed to improved conditions.
Chinese growth
The soured mood after the U.S. data offset an upbeat sentiment from earlier in the day, seen after Chinese government leaders signaled they are committed to supporting growth in the country. Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli said Monday policy makers intend to speed up economic reforms and take steps to support infrastructure, according to a Reuters report.
Additionally, a Chinese newspaper cited Premier Li Keqiang as saying the government will take action to ensure economic growth doesn't fall below 7%, in remarks last week at a meeting of the State Council, China's cabinet.
Resource firms, which tend to be sensitive to growth indications from China, were among notable advancers in Tuesday's trade. Glencore Xstrata PLC /zigman2/quotes/201400686/delayed UK:GLEN -0.04% gained 5.1%, BHP Billiton PLC /zigman2/quotes/208108397/composite BHP -1.94% /zigman2/quotes/201448516/delayed AU:BHP -1.72% rose 2% and Rio Tinto PLC /zigman2/quotes/208934945/delayed UK:RIO +0.04% /zigman2/quotes/202627887/composite RIO -2.67% /zigman2/quotes/200083756/delayed AU:RIO -1.41% picked up 3.4%, all in London.
Shares of Tullow Oil PLC /zigman2/quotes/205079109/delayed UK:TLW 0.00% slumped 6.6% in the U.K. after the oil explorer said it discovered a gas-bearing reservoir offshore Mozambique, but that it was unlikely to be used commercially on a stand-alone basis. It also said it plugged and abandoned a well in French Guiana.
The FTSE 100 index /zigman2/quotes/210598409/delayed UK:UKX +0.16% lost 0.4% to 6,597.44.
Germany's DAX 30 index /zigman2/quotes/210597999/delayed DX:DAX +0.13% shaved off 0.2% to 8,314.23.
Among other notable movers in Europe, shares of STMicroelectronics NV /zigman2/quotes/204485995/delayed FR:STM -1.94% slumped 10% in Paris after the chip maker reported a widening second-quarter loss.
The CAC 40 index /zigman2/quotes/210597958/delayed FR:PX1 +0.14% dropped 0.4% to 3,923.09, even as telecom firms were on the rise.
Vivendi SA /zigman2/quotes/202179234/delayed FR:VIV -0.94% climbed 2.4% after saying it has entered into exclusive negotiations with Emirates Telecommunications Corp. AE:ETISALAT -0.58% to sell its controlling stake in African phone operator Maroc Telecom for 4.2 billion euros ($6.45 billion) in cash.
Shares of Bouygues SA /zigman2/quotes/202035785/delayed FR:EN +0.84% jumped 6.9% in Paris after the firm said late Monday it has entered talks with Vivendi's mobile operator SFR to share part of their mobile-phone networks in France.
MarketWatch/William Watts
Among telecom firms elsewhere, shares of Royal KPN NV /zigman2/quotes/200683801/delayed NL:KPN +0.40% rose 2.8% after the Dutch telecoms firm said it would sell its German mobile E-Plus business to Spanish Telefónica SA's /zigman2/quotes/200416613/delayed ES:TEF +0.36% German unit in a deal that values the unit at €8.1 billion. Shares of Telefónica added 2.3%, while Telefónica Deutschland Holding AG /zigman2/quotes/209353250/delayed DE:O2D -0.10% lost 5.3%.
On a more upbeat note, Spain's IBEX 35 index /zigman2/quotes/210597995/delayed XX:IBEX -0.52% rallied 1.4% to 8,073.70 after the country's central bank said the economy likely contracted 0.1% in the second quarter from the first, suggesting Spain is close to emerging from the recession that started in 2011.
Banks were on the rise in Madrid, with BBVA SA /zigman2/quotes/209653399/delayed ES:BBVA -1.25% /zigman2/quotes/204078760/composite BBVA -1.30% up 3.4% and Banco Santander SA /zigman2/quotes/205677933/delayed ES:SAN -0.90% /zigman2/quotes/202859081/composite SAN -1.98% 2.2% higher.
Also of interest in the euro zone, Germany's finance ministry reportedly said the next tranche of bailout money to Greece will be delayed as the country struggles to meet the requirements laid out in the reform program.

3 Great Ways to Use SquadUP This Summer
Summer is the best season to throw events. I guess that's not a fact but there are plenty of great reasons to support it. For starters, it's finally nice out. Nothing kills the going-out-energy like freezing temperatures or pouring rain, not to mention snow. People have precious vacation days saved up and nobody wants to waste a second of free time. They want activities and adventures. So if you're the person in your friend group that typically rallies the crew, we have a little inspiration for you to start the summer off right. Here are three great ways that SquadUP can help you make the most of summer.
1. BBQ Time!
Whether it's a backyard, a rooftop, a park, or a deck, everybody loves a good BBQ. Food, drinks, good weather and a laid back environment. Use SquadUP to invite friends and they'll be able to share with their friends to turn it into a party… if you want. Collect some money for burgers and beers so you're not the one fronting everybody's fun. Or use our custom order form section to find out who eats what and even how guests like their burgers cooked.
2. World Cup Watch Party
This summer is special. It's a World Cup summer. Sure, soccer isn't the most popular sport and we're all going to be upset when the NBA and NHL seasons are over, leaving us with nothing but baseball. But it's the World Cup! And anytime we can throw on some red, white, and blue and chant USA, I'm on board. Nobody wants to watch alone. It's about the camaraderie and it's of the few times when the whole country roots together instead of dividing by cities. So call that friend whose TV is so big you have to move your head to follow the ball and tell him it's almost game time. If you're not excited already, maybe this jaw dropping Beats commercial will get you in the mood.
3. Weekend Getaway
I can only speak about NYC, but it's fair to say that sometimes the summer heat gets the best of a dense city. When in doubt, get out! Whether you're escaping to the suburbs or the beach, SquadUP can help. These trips usually include a list of expenses like renting a house, transportation, and food and drinks for the weekend. It can be a hassle and, if done incorrectly, end up in group animosity. Split the costs via SquadUP and stick to planning the fun stuff like which bathing suit to pack and what to put on your playlist.
Got another idea for a summer event, activity, or adventure? We'd love to hear about it. And if it's for more than just you and your friends we can help spread the word! Comment on this post or tweet @squadup.

Rearview ClearanceBy Annette Alfieri · February 29, 2012 · Dieting Health Healthy Eating Motivation Nutrition Uncategorized Weight Loss · Leave a comment
I had my first colonoscopy yesterday. For those of you who have been putting it off for reasons unknown, I am hear to tell you, it wasn't that bad. This is coming from a person who gets queasy around all things hospital related. So here's the low down.
First off, there is no reason to avoid this very important procedure. Colon cancer is quite curable, if caught in the early stages. Since there are no overt symptoms in the beginning, a colonoscopy is your best chance of early detection.
The most uncomfortable part of the procedure for me was not being able to eat consistently throughout the day. Fasting for 24 hours is essential. I could feel my energy waning pretty early on, but it did give me a chance to think about how many times I mindlessly want to pop things into my mouth.
As far as the laxative prep, it actually felt good to cleanse the inside of the body. Something we don't do very often. It is as refreshing as cleaning the outside of the body after a long, sweaty day. Embrace this feeling of lightness, as you release toxins, cholesterol and estrogen from your system. A tough sell, I know. But trust me, it's all in how you look at it.
The procedure itself was very quick. One moment you are awake, and the next you are waking up. It really is that simple. No residual discomfort, no nausea; just a long, sound nap when you get home.
So for those of you who have been avoiding the colonoscopy, call today. Remember, you are the keeper of your own body. Prevention is the key to a long, healthy life. If I can do it, so can you.

First posted on September 27, 2009
One of the joys of travel – for me, anyway – is visiting local food markets and farmer's markets. Whether in SouthEast Asia or the south of France, these markets are a reflection of local culture and cuisine.
A street market in Luang Prabang, Laos
A fruit stall in Cannes, on the French Riviera
One of the most impressive farmer's markets I have seen is held every Tuesday and Saturday in and around the San Francisco Ferry Terminal building at the foot of Market Street. A determined grazer can enter the market hungry and emerge replete, having experienced a savory blend of fruits, preserves, salsas, cheeses and baked goods.
Samples of goat cheeses – free for the asking
A variety of salsas and dips on offer to passers-by
The ripe strawberries were very tempting
A more sophisticated grazer could opt for champagne and caviar
The Bruschetta stand was especially popular around noon. The open-faced Tuscan-style sandwiches were heaped with fresh tomatoes, sliced onions, capers and crumbled cheese.
The Bruschetta stand's operator was well organized
I'll be offering more video visits to the San Francisco Farmer's Market in upcoming posts.

After we did our kitchen door pilasters, which were actually more difficult and our first time attempting door surrounds, we felt we had the hang of it. So you can imagine what crossed my mind. Yep, let's rip them all down! Great idea, right? It was…until children came along and threw a wrench in my grandiose plans of custom molding everywhere! I think my husband thought the children would be less work, but they suck up more energy than all my projects combined 😉
We have gradually managed to address a few, one being the dining room pilasters:

I pointed dad to some comments made by Fiona bun, which led me to Diva Kitty and The Fluffies – another great rabbit (and cat) website! It seems like there are all these great rabbit websites out there – they're just a little hard to find sometimes, unless you stumble upon them.
I especially liked the Meezer Bun Rules and the Terms & Glossary.
I was impressed that two bunnies could get along with a cat like that. My grandma's cat just ignores us – he's a big wuss!

Nunchaku (nun chukka / nun chuks / nuns) are thought to have originally been an agricultural instrument, used for threshing grain. During the 17th century, Okinawan farmers developed their use as a weapon to defend themselves against Japanese invaders.
The short sticks are attached with a length of rope or chain. They can be used as a striking weapon, and the chain can be used to block, trap or choke an opponent.
In Kazoku we practice 3 set nunchaku kata. It is usually the first weapon that students are introduced to, and takes many hours of practice to master. Confidence is key – lack of confidence leads to bruised fingers!
We also learn and practice applications of techniques using the weapon against an opponent, for instance to block strikes, or apply locks. This helps our students further understand the details of open handed techniques, as well as ways of using any available item as a weapon of self-defence.
