I stumbled upon a lovely stall of afro-centric art at the Drum a few months back. I found their business card today and have been mooching round the website. It's always nice to find a big afro on a greeting card- don't ya think?
Next postWhat to do in Silly Season?


Rich and vibrant offering aromas and flavors of black currant and berry mingled with refined oak notes on a dry, well balanced palate, followed by a long, persistant finish. It has excellent balance and silky tannins showing hints of licorice on the finish.
It pairs well with hearty beef dishes, venison, pasta, bolognese and well-aged cheese.


i live in nuremberg currently.
Happy Birthday Alex! Are you sure you don't remember Fred Limone? Medic/Dental guy around 83-84.
Guess I should have asked you for directions to the Nuremberg Harley Davidson. Took us hours to find it and burned up a lot of gas!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXANDRA Wishing you many more, from all of us at DragoonBase!!!
I forgot to mention that I'm back in Pennsylvania and living near Wellsboro. I live in the north central part of the state. If you look on a map, I'm south of Corning, New York. I live approximately less than 20 miles from the New York-Pennsylvania line.
Yes, I was shocked too. I couldn't believe it. Charles Moya sent me an email about his death. I'm doing fine. Still working in law enforcement but I hope to have only four more years of that and I'll retire. I will find something else to do then. I have to stay busy. I see you are still in Nurnberg. I want to take my wife there when we come back over. Kristen, my wife, loves Germany and definately wants to go back. I'm getting the desire to go to Europe soon anyway. Maybe a trip over the pond is coming in the next year or so.
Very happy to hear from you. I hope all is well with you and life is treating you well. I do miss the days of our youth! Definately, the summers at the pool and everyone sitting around talking and just having a fun day. Please stay in touch and I wish you all the best.
If you do Facebook, I'm there too with several of the other guys. You may not know them, however.
Hi Alex! I hope all is well with you. Thanks for responding back. I received some news from Germany recently. A friend of mine, who still lives in Amberg, noticed the other week that Jimmy Story died. Remember him? He dated Inge and then married her after he got out of the Army. He died 07.03.2011. It was in the Amberg newspaper on 19.03.2011. It was a shocker to me! I had a good time with both of them back in 2003 before I went into Kosovo.
Tell your sister I said hello. Take care of yourself and be safe!
I am well thank you. It is so good to hear from you. Yes, while it was a long time ago, it does seem like yesterday. I have such fond memories of my time there. In fact, my time there in Amberg and my high school years were the best in my life. I cherish the memories.
Ho-w is your sister doing? Christine is still in Vegas is she not? Elsa and I have not he-ard from her in a while. Elsa and I got divorced 3 1/2 years ago. We are still close and still friends. I will see her tomorrow in fact. Our divorce was nothing hateful. We just grew apart and have very different likes and dislikes. I just called Elsa and she said to tell you "Hello". If you talk to Christine, please give her Elsa's cell phone number which is . 1-928-240-1832.
As you know, Elsa and I had 2 kids; a boy; Ronnie Jr. and a girl; Kristina. Ronnie has 2 girls and Kristina has a daughter so we have 3 granddaughters! Hard to believe. Time goes by so fast.
I own a business and am a small investor. I'm happy. My son Ronnie works with me. We live in NE Arizona up in the mountains.
Keep in touch. So good to hear from you.
I hope you enjoy the site, and maybe find some of your old friends and buddy's.


We weren't exactly the best of tourists in Bangkok. We were craving for some 'normal' stuff, so we kind of just chilled instead of stressing about checking the 'must see' list. So instead of writing up the usual 'where to go, where to eat' guide, here's a suggested itinerary.
As for where to stay, you can read this post from Nerd Nomads, which is absolutely brilliant (honestly the best thing you'll find on the areas of Bangkok!) as it describes each neighbourhood in detail, so that you know what suits you best.
We stayed at the Ibis Styles Phra Khanong which was awesome. Great location close to the BTS (the skytrain) and a really nice food market at W District. The beds were extra comfy and the room was great for travellers because it had space and places to drop your luggage, which is unusual. It was also one of the most expensive places for us, but one of the most affordable in Bangkok, if that makes sense.
Get to the river and get on a river boat heading to the Grand Palace and the Temples. Sathorn Pier/ central pier is a great place to start as it has a connection with BTS skytrain (Saphan Taksin station), but it will depend on where you're staying at, of course.
*tip for the boats: there are several lines. The blue line which is the more frequent one (and the tourist one) is 40baht. The orange one is much cheaper (15baht) and goes to all the same places. We got our tickets at Sathorn Pier where there is a 'blue boat' team directing you to the ticket office as if that's the only ticket office. Just kindly say 'no' and head to the more modest counter on the right (literally a desk with someone selling tickets instead of an actual booth). There are also private boats trying to sell you much more expensive rides so watch out for that (unless that's what you want).
If I were you I'd start here. And an early start at that. The Grand Palace is one of the main attractions of Bangkok and it gets crowded. Like Disneyland on school holidays if they were giving tickets for free. Yup. So, go here very early and avoid the crowds. (I think it opens at 8.30 but you should double check).
Make sure to check out the temple of the Emerald Buddha (inside the palace).
*IMPORTANT tip: wear trousers (not shorts or skirts)! Even if you're a guy, wear trousers and a t-shirt that covers your shoulders. Oh and girls, no low-cut tops. Seriously, they'll make you buy clothes there unless you're properly dressed. Even if you bring a sarong with you, which we did, it won't cut it for the men, you need to wear trousers. So no skirts for the guys.
You can easily walk from Grand Palace to Wat Pho. The dress code is less tight around here, and they'll provide you with sarongs to cover when you enter the temple of the Buddha, but other than that you should be OK. I really loved this temple, it's really beautiful, and much less crowded.
You can then get a boat to cross the river to Wat Arun (it's literally on the opposite river bank), but you'll probably need to grab some food by this point, but there's some street stalls around. We didn't visit this temple, but it looks gorgeous from the outside though.
Once you're done, cross the river again. IF you are a walker (we are), and don't mind the scorching temperatures, you can walk for about 30min over to the Giant Swing (a bizarre attraction, which was under repair when we visited). From there it's really easy to walk to the Golden Mount (about 10min?). I really loved the Golden Mount temple and funny enough it wasn't on any of the suggested itineraries for three days. It's a small temple located, as the name suggests, on the top of a mount. It is really lovely up there.
It's also really beautiful at night, so defo try to ride or walk by to see it when it's lit.
Which apparently has the best padthai in town. We wouldn't know because we went there for lunch and it was closed, as it only opens at 5pm. So if it's after 5pm and you're hungry, eat!
After that you can head down to the flower market (we walked but you can easily get a tuk-tuk) and then go explore Chinatown. We did the market (to be honest, I'd skip it unless you really love markets) and we were too tired to do Chinatown. But hey, we're a couple of oldies, so you might have the energy to do it. (If you do you'll probably need a taxi or tuk-tuk to go home as the boats don't run after 7pm).
You'll probably be exhausted from the previous day so take your time. Head to Lumphini park either before or after lunch, but you should know, Silom is a really cool area with loads of hip restaurants so it's the perfect place to have lunch.
The park is really cool and chilled, a bit warm but there are loads of shades you can sit under. There are massive lizards in and out of the water, which ends up providing all the entertainment you need.
After lunch and checking out the park you can head to Siam Square and check all the malls. There are loads and they are massive. I mean ginourmous.! If you like shopping, you'll feel right at home.
We don't, so we went to the movies instead. But there are zoos and aquariums and all sorts of stuff at the malls, so there's something for everyone. Oh not to mention the food courts!
Bangkok is known for having tones of rooftops providing amazing views of the city. The best time to visit would be sunset, but they're pretty cool at night too.
In Siam we went to Redsky bar at Centara Grand Hotel right next to Central World mall and it was stunning. Not for the fainted hearted, it's really high up and for those who are scared of heights (such as myself) it might take you a while to adjust.
*tip: Dress up a bit (not much, but you know, clean up). Most rooftops are at hotels or slightly fancier than say, backpacker's street, so to make sure you don't waste your elevator trip, and put on something other than flip flops?
On your last day you can book a trip to one of the floating markets or even a railway market. Just note that these are located a bit far from the city (about 100km) so you'll need a full day to explore the outskirts.
There are also temples outside the city centre that you can visit.
We actually didn't do any of it. We split the activities of day one into two days and chilled at the hotel's pool in the afternoons. But that's because we had been already two months on the road and were craving some 'normal city life'. If you're looking to get the most of Bangkok you should defo go check out the markets.
Another thing we'd have loved to do, but just couldn't afford it on our budge, was a tuk-tuk night tour. There are loads, but Expique seems to have some pretty cool ones, check it out and let me know how it went!
Planning a trip to Bangkok and still have a few questions? E-mail me or leave a comment below and I'll get back to you!
Nice article. I loved Bangkok, and totally agree you've got to see the temples and do a river cruise. I took a more expensive cruise but had my own long tail boat and driver who took me around for 45 minutes and dropped me off at the Grand Palace. Honestly, just riding on the tuk-tuks and motorcycles was so much fun! Such an amazing city.
Wow the private long tail boat trip sounds amazing! Definitely something to do next time! I loved the food markets as well, didn't you? The really nice ones with loads of stalls and fairy lights?


In the past, for heavy industry-related locations like mines, robots must either be controlled by teleoperation or navigate autonomously across uneven terrain or within subterranean interiors with little to no human interaction. This was the same for construction sites, where robots must understand changing floor plans, keep track of inventory and navigate stairs. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence (AI), wireless telecommunications, location-based technologies and navigation systems, this is being realised. ABI Research, a market-foresight advisory firm providing strategic guidance on the most compelling transformative technologies, believes that autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are making their way into mines and construction sites.
Modern robotics tends to be associated with either indoor environments like factories and warehouses, or in the home. But there is a multitude of other, less structured and more challenging environments where AMRs are only just beginning to proliferate. Advanced mobility enabling autonomous navigation will empower robotics vendors in construction, extraction and elsewhere. While in 2018, 28.7% of commercial robot shipments had some degree of autonomous navigation, in 2027, the percentage will be 79.3%.
For the robots to operate in challenging, hostile and unsafe environments without human assistance, the key beneficiaries will be OEMs who choose to adopt navigation-providing operation systems (OS) from third-party providers. Specialist robot companies have a greater opportunity to attract capital due to increased interest, and with the formulation of cloud services from companies such as AWS and Google, have more opportunity than ever to develop advanced capabilities like mobile manipulation and advanced analytics. However, they will struggle to get an in-house solution off the ground without partnering with third-party providers on localisation and navigation technologies. Given the complexity of localisation, mapping and navigation alone, a delegation of responsibility to third-party providers is often the best way to go. These types of partnerships are crucial as the OEMs have the industry know-how and existing infrastructure that address site-specific requirements.
"Therefore, while the proliferation of start-ups dedicated to building robotic platforms for construction-related tasks is intriguing, the more developed opportunity is currently the interaction between OS providers and traditional OEMs, like Komatsu and Caterpillar, in automating heavy vehicles used in mining extraction. These may be OS providers like Braincorp and Autonomous Solutions Inc., who specialise in navigation, or technology providers like location enabler Humatics. "However, as both industries continue to strive for cost efficiency and workplace safety, task-specific autonomous mobile robots hold the key to the future," Whitton concluded.
These findings are from ABI Research's Robotics in Construction & Extraction application analysis report. This report is part of the company's Industrial, Collaborative and Commercial Robotics research service.

Over the last decade, breast cancer incidence rates have increased by around a twentieth (4%) in the UK. Rates in males have remained stable, and rates in females have increased by around a twentieth (6%).
More than 1 in 10 breast cancer cases are diagnosed late in England (2014), Scotland (2014-2015) and Northern Ireland (2010-2014).
Most invasive breast cancers occur in the upper-outer quadrant of the breast.
Incidence rates for breast cancer are projected to rise by 2% in the UK between 2014 and 2035, to 210 cases per 100,000 females by 2035.
Breast cancer in England is less common in females living in the most deprived areas. There is no association for males.
Breast cancer is more common in White females than in Asian or Black females.
An estimated 491,300 women who had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer were alive in the UK at the end of 2010.
There are around 7,700 new breast carcinoma in situ cases in the UK every year, that's 21 every day (2013-2015).

Around two-thirds (65%) of women diagnosed with breast cancer in England and Wales survive their disease for twenty years or more (2010-11).
Almost 8 in 10 (78%) women diagnosed with breast cancer in England and Wales survive their disease for ten years or more (2010-11).
Almost 9 in 10 (87%) women diagnosed with breast cancer in England and Wales survive their disease for five years or more (2010-11).
Around 95% (96%) of women diagnosed with breast cancer in England and Wales survive their disease for one year or more (2010-11).
Breast cancer survival in England is highest for women diagnosed aged 60-69, probably because of screening, and less favourable tumour characteristics in younger women (2009-2013).
Around 9 in 10 women in England diagnosed with breast cancer between ages 40-69 survive their disease for five years or more, compared with 7 in 10 women diagnosed aged 80 and over (2009-2013).
Breast cancer survival is improving and has doubled in the last 40 years in the UK.
In the 1970s, 4 in 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer survived their disease beyond ten years, now it's around 8 in 10.
When diagnosed at its earliest stage, around all women with breast cancer will survive their disease for five years or more, compared with 3 in 20 women when the disease is diagnosed at the latest stage.
Five-year relative survival for breast cancer in women is below the European average in England, Wales and Scotland but similar to the European average in Northern Ireland.
1 in 7 UK females will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
23% of breast cancer cases in the UK are preventable.
Less than 1% of breast cancer cases in the UK are caused by oral contraceptives.

8% of breast cancer cases in the UK are caused by overweight and obesity.
8% of breast cancer cases in the UK are caused by alcohol drinking.
5% of breast cancer cases in the UK are caused by not breastfeeding.
'Two-week wait' is the most common route to diagnosing breast cancer.
Screening is the route with the highest proportion of cases diagnosed at an early stage, for breast cancer.
'Two-week wait' standards are met by all countries, '31-day wait' is met by all but Wales, and '62-day wait' is met by all but Wales for breast cancer.
81% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer have surgery to remove the tumour as part of their primary cancer treatment.
63% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer have radiotherapy as part of their primary cancer treatment.
34% of patients diagnosed with breast cancer have chemotherapy as part of their primary cancer treatment.
Around three-quarters (74%) of women in the UK who are invited for breast screening are screened with a definitive usable result within 6 months of invitation.
Breast screening uptake in the UK has fallen slightly since 2010/11.
Less than 1 per 100 screened women in the UK have cancer detected through breast screening. Around 8 in 10 of these are invasive cancers.
For every breast cancer death prevented through screening, 3 women will be overdiagnosed.
The latest statistics available for breast cancer in the UK are; incidence 2015, mortality 2016, survival 2010-2011 (all ages combined) and 2009-2013 (by age) and screening in the UK is 2009-2010 and England is 2010-2011. Data for in situ breast carcinoma are; incidence 2013, mortality and survival data are not available.
The ICD code for breast cancer is ICD-10 C50. The ICD code for in situ breast carcinoma (non-invasive tumours of the breast) is ICD-10 D05, of which there are two main types: lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS; ICD-10 D05.0) and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS; ICD-10 D05.1).
European Age-Standardised Rates were calculated using the 2013 European Standard Population (ESP). Previous content used the 1976 European Standard Population. ASRs calculated with ESP2013 are not comparable with ASRs calculated with ESP1976.
Due to the small numbers of men diagnosed with breast cancer each year, most of the information in these pages refers to females only but there are some statistics for breast cancer in males.
Meta-analyses and systematic reviews are cited where available, as they provide the best overview of all available research and most take study quality into account. Individual case-control and cohort studies are reported where such aggregated data are lacking. The evidence on this page is for female breast cancer unless otherwise specified.
Cancer waiting times statistics are for patients who entered the health care system within financial year 2014-15. Breast cancer is part of the group 'Breast cancer' for cancer waiting times data. Codes vary per country but broadly include: invasive breast cancer and breast in situ.
The latest statistics available for breast screening in the UK are financial year 2012/13.
The breast screening programmes' definition of breast cancer includes ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) tumours as well as invasive cancer and so the ICD codes for statistics on the screening statistics pages are mostly ICD-10 C50 and D05.1, which is different to the other breast statistics on this site.


The news: The dream to break up California into six separate states is getting closer to a possibility: This week, California's secretary of state's office approved requests to begin "collecting petition signatures."
The initiative is being sponsored by Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper, who claims "political representation of California's diverse population and economies has rendered the state nearly ungovernable."
At least 807,615 voters' signatures — roughly one-eighth of the total ballots cast for the 2010 gubernatorial election — will need to be collected by July 18 for the referendum to make it to the next election's ballot.
The background: With a GDP of approximately $2.0 trillion, in 2012 California was tied with Italy and Russia for the eighth largest in the world, according to the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy.
The proposal would split California into six states: Silicon Valley, West California, Central California, North California and Jefferson — except for Jefferson and Silicon Valley, maybe not the most creative names.
The takeaway: Besides being an interesting idea that would dramatically alter the country's makeup and the way the region is governed, this split could also have serious political consequences in presidential elections. In recent history, California has been a strong Democrat state, but as demonstrated from the map below, the six-way schism could shake up the region's electoral votes and Democrats could lose the 55 electoral votes they rely on in presidential elections. Instead, the area could turn out to be a mixed bag of liberals and conservatives, adding a new and unknown element to national elections.
And what about a new flag? Fifty-five stars? Crazy!


Manga Rock 2 was only launched yesterday, and we have already got overwhelming support from both old and new users: over 20,000 downloads in 24 hours! Many questions were received, so we'll answer them all in this post.
Why was there only 10 manga / no manga at all? And the app crashes upon launch!
To be honest, we did not expect to receive just overwhelming number of apps downloads and usage in just 24 hours. Because of that, our server got a hiccup along the way, messing up the database of manga. This causes the app to show only 10 manga or no manga for some users. For other users, you will encounter crashes upon launch.
We have managed to resolve the server issue, everything should be working normally now. For a small number of users that got affected, please delete and re-install the app. If you have already purchased the Full Version, just tap "Restore Purchase". We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Why is download speed slower than usual?
In just one day, Manga Rock 2′s server requests alone are 1.5 times more than all of the old MR apps combined! This stressed out our server, thus causing download speed to be less than optimal. Our server wizard is working around the clock to slowly and carefully increase the bandwidth, without affecting the app performance. Download speed should get better as we speak.
Why can I only download 1 chapter at a time?
Having multiple chapters download concurrently on a 3G network actually slows your download. Beside that, having multiple connections on a 3G network drains your battery considerably faster. Finally, the more connections you have on a 3G network, the more money you will have to pay, if you don't have an unlimited data plan. Once you get back on a WiFi network, the app automatically switches back to 4 concurrent downloads.
Where's the read/unread indicator for chapters?
This one is a little bit tricky for some. Instead of a separate read/unread symbol, we have incorporated it into the chapter's text color. Lighter Color is unread, and Darker Color is read.
Where's the "New Releases" section?
In the current version, there's no "New Releases" section. We're going to add that in an update to MR2.
Why did you remove the Book View in the iPad version?
We were very proud of Manga Rock Unity's Book View. It was/still is the first of its kind for any manga reader app. As much as we love it, a lot of users have said that the Book View was not optimal for reading manga. We ourselves rarely use it to read manga on our iPad.
But that doesn't mean it's the end for the Book View. Our team is currently research for a way to bring back the Book View (or something better). We'll keep you posted.
I paid for MR1, why can't I "restore purchase" in MR2?
The "Restore Purchase" button is meant for users who have already purchased MR2 and needed to re-install the app, or install the app on a new device.
The App says there's new chapters on my favorites but it doesn't show which ones!
This is a confirmed bug. It supposed to show you which manga has new chapters and how many of them. The hot fix for this will be available soon.

Q: Why notify listeners in a content provider query method? Vogella has this blog post about content providers and the snippet below (at the bottom) with this line:
cursor.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);
I'm curious as to why one would want to notify listeners about a query operation.
@Override
public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {

    // Using SQLiteQueryBuilder instead of query() method
    SQLiteQueryBuilder queryBuilder = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();

    // Check if the caller has requested a column which does not exists
    checkColumns(projection);

    // Set the table
    queryBuilder.setTables(TodoTable.TABLE_TODO);

    int uriType = sURIMatcher.match(uri);
    switch (uriType) {
    case TODOS:
      break;
    case TODO_ID:
      // Adding the ID to the original query
      queryBuilder.appendWhere(TodoTable.COLUMN_ID + "=" + uri.getLastPathSegment());
      break;
    default:
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unknown URI: " + uri);
    }

    SQLiteDatabase db = database.getWritableDatabase();
    Cursor cursor = queryBuilder.query(db, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, sortOrder);
    // Make sure that potential listeners are getting notified
    cursor.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);

    return cursor;
}

A: If I may be so bold, a more straightforward explanation:
I assume that the OP is wondering why a query wants to notify listeners. It doesn't. It's not immediately notifying listeners, it's just setting up so that listeners will be fired if the data associated with the Cursor changes. Listeners are attached to the ContentResolver for the current Context; setNotificationUri is just a handy way of telling those listeners "Watch this URI."
In something like CursorLoader, the Loader automatically registers a ContentObserver on the ContentResolver in its context, and then the Loader calls setNotificationUri when it does a query. If the data in the Cursor changes, the ContentObserver goes off, which tells the Loader to reset and do a new query.

A: It tells the cursor what uri to watch, so it knows when its source data changes. When any data is modified, the  ContentProvider notifies ContentResolver about the changes then the ContentResolver notifies all registered observers. Then if you have any CursorLoaders which have registered the observer, can load the new data by this

Matthew McConaughey as 'Joe Cooper' in Killer Joe.
WINNER OF THE WEEK: Danny Boyle. The Oscar-winning director of Slumdog Millionaire created the weekend's must-see blockbuster spectacle, with a record U.S. audience of 40.7 million watching him deploy James Bond and Queen Elizabeth II parachuting out of a helicopter, an army of floating Mary Poppinses confronting Voldemort and Captain Hook, and a dancing-nurse tribute to socialized medicine. Too bad for Hollywood that Boyle's London Olympics opening pageant played on free TV. If just 3 percent of those viewers had gone to the movies Friday night to see The Watch, it would have grossed another $10 million and looked like a hit instead of a flop.
NO AVERAGE 'JOE': Among indie releases, Matthew McConaughey's much-buzzed thriller Killer Joe opened on just three screens but pulled in an estimated $12,633 on each, a better average than any movie except The Dark Knight Rises. The romantic comedy Ruby Sparks, from the directors of Little Miss Sunshine, averaged an estimated $11,692 per screen and topped new indie releases overall with a total of $152,000. And an estimated $9,000 per screen went to Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, the documentary about the Chinese dissident artist who co-designed the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing. Imagine how much better the film would have done if Ai's Olympic design had included flying nannies and parachuting queens.

Christmas at Angel Lake (Rescued Hearts #2) by Edie Ramer with giveaway!
Today as part of the Tasty Book Tours I have Christmas at Angel Lake: Rescued Hearts # 2 by Edie Ramer. Be sure to check the other Tour Stops, and don't forget to enter the giveaway. Additionally, you should know that 25ȼ from every Christmas at Angel Lake book sold will go to the Washington County Humane Society in Wisconsin. Another reason to buy this lovely romance!!
I love redemption stories, and when you add in the cuteness that is a rescued animal, I can't help but smile. This is my first introduction to Edie Ramer's work, and I went and bought other titles because it was that sweet, and that well-conceived.
This is a sweet contemporary romance, which manages to hit all the buttons that readers of romance love: interesting characters wounded by life and love, kindly strangers, tentative steps toward the love that everyone wants and has a dash of ever so adorable viewpoints presented from the cats and dogs in the story.
Maddie arrived quite by accident, heading out to better her life and move from a bad relationship. Pregnant and alone, she swerves to avoid a kitten and finds her new home, people to love, and a life with her child. Years later, when the owner of the house she is staying in dies, Logan arrives to remove her from his new home, yet finds her far more intriguing and interesting than any woman has a right to be.
As the two tiptoe around their feelings for one another, the attraction is palpable and the sniping is actually quite cute. Interwoven in the story is the narration of Dog, a lost dog on a search for his family: his narration is actually quite relevant to the story and the inner feelings of Logan and Maddie, even though they don't speak on them. Dog's story is possibly more heart wrenching and tense for the reader than any other element, and his periodic updates have you wanting him to find his home, a home and someone to love him as much as you wish for Logan and Madding to get their act together.
This is a sweet romance, with clever asides from the characters that just make them more human, and display their honest feelings even as their heads deny them. Certain to put a smile on your face, this story demands to be read and then re-read often.
I live in southeastern Wisconsin with my husband, dog and a very special cat.

PRESS RELEASE of 12 JANUARY 2023
Capital increase for Limburg-based manufacturer of cutting edge measuring technology accelerates its international expansion while at the same time strengthening anchoring and employment in Belgium
Herk-de-Stad, Belgium - January 2, 2023 - More than six years after its creation in 2016, Hammer-IMS attracts new venture capital in the amount of EUR 2.5 million. This capital injection allows the Limburg-based Hammer-IMS to accelerate the development of a more diverse portfolio while continuing its international expansion, including to the United States. The additional capital is provided by Invest For Jobs (IFJ) and by its very first investors, LRM and the Gemma Frisius Fund. "The new and existing investors support our technological innovations and the potential they open for additional jobs in Belgium," says Noël Deferm, General Manager at Hammer-IMS. "We look forward to working with them to realise this beautiful growth phase. At the very beginning, when we tinkered with a prototype and tried to sell it, we didn't expect that Hammer-IMS would reach such proportions."
Het Belang van Limburg Kanaal Z Trends Technical Textiles C2 Coating & Converting
Eight years ago, Noël Deferm and Tom Redant, PhD students at KU Leuven – MICAS, succeeded in using radar technology to achieve precise quality control for industrial applications. With the M-Ray technology, Hammer-IMS had a safe and environmentally friendly alternative for the extensively used measuring systems that work with ionising radiation (e.g. nuclear, radioactive). In the meantime, Hammer-IMS developed several measuring sensors and machines that it rolled out to manufacturers of industrial textiles and plastics, among others. Today, the two founders continue to lead Hammer-IMS in the right direction. The management-team was recently strengthened with Nele Reynders, who, together with the founders, transformed the measuring technology into full-fledged measuring machines in the early years of Hammer-IMS.
Noël Deferm, General Manager of Hammer-IMS: "In recent years, we have systematically refined our measuring technology, expanded our offer and worked commercially on a more international scale, mostly in Europe. The present capital increase aims to accelerate this process. By offering a broader product range in a larger geographical area, we can gain an extended market share worldwide faster. To support this, we are happy to welcome Invest for Jobs (IFJ) as new investor and pleased that LRM and the Gemma Frisius Fund are once again contributing capital. As Belgians, we can be proud that Hammer-IMS remains strongly rooted in our country and stays 100 per cent Belgian-owned."
Nils Nijs, IFJ Investment Manager: "In addition to a financial return, we give particular importance with our long-term investment to employment that will root companies more firmly in Belgium. We fully support and strengthen Hammer-IMS in its current approach to provide a lot of additional jobs in the region in the coming years. At the same time, by further enhancing its technological innovations, Hammer-IMS can achieve an increased impact in terms of sustainability."
IFJ was created in 2015 on the initiative of the social partners of the metal industry and the technology sector. In addition to IFJ, Hammer-IMS' capital increase is also partly realised by the existing investors LRM and the Gemma Frisius Fund. LRM is an investment company that develops and stimulates economic growth in Limburg, and, like IFJ, places its emphasis on local employment. The Gemma Frisius Fund, set up in 1977 as a joint venture of KU Leuven, KBC Private Equity and BNP Paribas Fortis Private Equity, has years of experience in supporting high-tech start-ups.
Tom Redant, Technical Manager at Hammer-IMS: "This capital increase heralds an acceleration phase in order to place a stronger Hammer-IMS on the world map. We will speed up the recruitment of new colleagues and develop targeted products in order to operate on a larger scale. In addition to creating a broader family of measuring solutions, we will further expand our sales and technical support internationally, among others to the United States. Together with our shareholders, we strongly believe that we can turn Hammer-IMS into a global player."
Hammer-IMS, a machine builder that is working with its own innovative and environmentally friendly sensors, is really looking forward to it. Tom Redant: "The measuring machines, in the typical yellow colour, that closely monitor quality control in production plants for textile and plastics, are now well known in the sector. Hammer-IMS will in the coming years continue to focus on machine vision and artificial intelligence to detect and classify production errors. Smart algorithms, that include learning through deep learning, help to perform advanced inspection tasks, which offer end customers a competitive advantage.

Gasoline-powered lawnmowers that are a big cause of summertime air pollution will have to be dramatically cleaner under rules issued Thursday by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The reductions will be the equivalent of removing one out of every five cars and trucks on the road, according to Bill Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies.
EPA said approximately 190 million gallons of gasoline will be saved each year when the rules take effect, and more than 300 premature deaths prevented annually.
"These standards help fight smog in our neighborhoods and waterways as we continue to improve the environmental landscape," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson.
EPA estimated the cost of implementing the reductions at $236 million a year, which will likely make its way to consumers in the form of more expensive lawnmowers and other machines.
Industry groups said exact figures were difficult to calculate, but the California Air Resources Board has estimated that walk-behind mowers would cost 18 percent more under the new regulation, while the price of commercial turf care mowers would rise about 3 percent.
"It's been an undertaking," said Kris Kiser, vice president of public affairs at the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, Inc. "Challenging, but again, fair and achievable and it's the right thing to do."
Environmentalists welcomed the regulation, which applies to lawn care engines under 25 horsepower and to a full range of gas-powered personal watercraft. The rule requires a 70 percent reduction in emissions from recreational watercraft.
"These new clean air standards will reduce dangerous smog pollution from high-emitting gasoline engines while helping to cut costs at the gas pump," said Vickie Patton, the Environmental Defense Fund's deputy general counsel.
The reductions on lawn mower emissions will probably be accomplished by adding catalytic converters that reduce pollution from exhaust but add cost.
Some in industry resisted the change, and Briggs & Stratton found a vocal champion in Bond. He and fellow Appropriations Committee member Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., spent years sparring over the issue after California sought EPA permission to implement its own small engine controls in 2003.
Bond tried to insert language in a spending bill to keep the state from doing so, but backed off under pressure from Feinstein, and California began implementing its rules last year. Bond did succeed in blocking other states from being able to copy California's rule, something the Clean Air Act normally allows. Instead, he required EPA to write the national standard that was issued Thursday.
Bond had questioned whether mowers with catalytic converters could spark fires, but an EPA study done at his behest found there was no safety problem - even while further delaying implementation of the rule.


Forget the Toronto Blue Jays are in last place in the AL East. This is a dangerous club and one that was predicted to battle the Boston Red Sox for the division championship in most pre-season polls. They're a good club and much better than their record might indicate. They've been very hot recently (winners of 8 of their prior 10 games) and previously injured stars Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzski have rejoined the team. So, it is that much sweeter to emerge from the first game of the Yankees-Blue Jays series with such a convincing win.
If you purely looked at numbers between two players, who would you start in center field?
Let's just say that I am glad Jacoby Ellsbury was unable to come off the DL when he was eligible to be activated on Thursday. Aaron Hicks is on fire. It's hard to say he was the star of the game when Sanchez smacked two massive home runs, but Hicksie was 4-for-5 with 6 RBI's to achieve at least co-star honors. A very impressive performance for the player who was slow to realize his potential but seems to be breaking out with full force this season.
Aaron Judge, moved up to third in the batting order, singled in the game's first run.
The Yankees were in control from the start. They jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning off Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada and never looked back.
The recent solid run by CC Sabathia (6-2) has been nice. Backed by superb offense, he pitched into the seventh inning. He departed after allowing the first Blue Jays run on a homer by Kendrys Morales and subsequently striking out Justin Smoak. The Blue Jays were only able to get five hits off CC, in addition to the one run. CC had seven strikeouts and did not walk batter. Chad Green finished the game in relief. He did allow a solo homer by Ezquiel Carrera but provided length to give the rest of the bullpen the night off.
Brett Gardner, with a single in the fourth inning, achieved a career milestone with his 1,000th hit of his career.
This was just a fun game. The Rogers Centre has been a House of Horrors for the Yankees. Last year, they dropped 8 of 10 games to the Blue Jays in the ballpark. So the dominating performance made the win that much more enjoyable.
The Yankees (31-20) were able to gain a game on the Boston Red Sox in the AL East. The Red Sox lost to the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, 7-5. The Red Sox are 3 games back, and the Orioles remained 3 1/2 games behind.
Reliever Ernesto Frieri opted not to exercise his opt-out yesterday. Frieri, currently with AAA-Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, is 2-0 with 3.00 ERA. Frieri has pitched in 17 games for the RailRiders, covering 21 innings. He has struck out 24 batters and is currently carrying a WHIP of 1.05. As the primary closer for the RailRiders, he has 7 saves. Time will tell if he gets another big league opportunity but you probably shouldn't hold your breath.
Greg Bird began a rehabilitation assignment with the High-A Advanced Tampa Yankees on Thursday. Bird played first base in the game against the Charlotte Stone Crabs (you gotta love those unique minor league team names). Maybe Tampa should be the Anti-Rays. Bird walked in his first two at-bats showing his eyes are as strong as ever. He finished the game with a single, in addition to the two walks, in the 6-4 loss.
While Chris Carter was putting up another 0-fer night (hitless in 4 at-bats), Tyler Austin, starting at first base for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was getting plenty of legwork with a 3-for-4 night that featured a two run home run in the first inning of the RailRiders' 6-3 loss to the Columbus Clippers. Carter's batting average has plummeted to .179 and is making it much easier for the Yankees to eventually decide between Carter and Austin.
Aroldis Chapman threw from 90 to 100 feet on Thursday. Girardi said that the Yankees closer will probably throw a bullpen session next week. The closer is slowly getter closer.
In the first release of All-Star Game balloting, Aaron Judge is currently third with 730,438 votes. The only players he trails are Washington Nationals' star Bryce Harper and the Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout (who is currently on the DL following thumb surgery). I am hoping that Harper and Judge are teammates in 2019, but Judge says screw that, I want to be his teammate this year! Not really but if Aaron gets the call for the ASG, I am okay if he does a little schmoozing with Harper and lets him know how wonderful us Yankees fans are.
Have a great Friday! It's a wonderful time to be alive…and a Yankees fan!

Woodsmoke –
Tom's very cool hunter friend in the Other
Introducing Woodsmoke
The first person, or fey, that Tom meets, is Woodsmoke. He's the grandson of Fahey who Tom's grandfather, Jack, disappears with. He travels to Tom's Earth, to deliver a message from Jack, because he knows Tom will be worried, but things don't quite go to plan, and Tom and Beansprout end up travelling back to the Other with him. It's Woodsmoke who tells them about the Other.
Woodsmoke is a few hundred years old, but in fey terms, that's quite young, so to Tom he seems only a few years older than him. He becomes a good friend, but he's also like a brother. He relies on Woodsmoke for his opinion, and good judgement – and for a good laugh!
I called him Woodsmoke because he's a hunter and tracker, able to move quickly and silently, with excellent hunting skills. He teaches Tom how to use a bow and arrow, and how to gut and skin animals.
Woodsmoke feels very responsible for Tom and Beansprout, and consequently feels he needs to protect them. In the first book, Tom's Inheritance, he spends his time regretting he'd let them stay, and then towards the end, doesn't really want Tom to go.
In Twice Born Woodsmoke has developed a close friendship with Arthur, but that becomes threatened when Arthur becomes reckless in his search for Merlin. While Arthur presumes himself the natural leader, Woodsmoke isn't afraid to challenge him if he thinks he's wrong, and while Arthur doesn't like it, he respects him for it – eventually.
I'm now writing book 3, and Woodsmoke and Tom are closer than ever. They find out the history behind Galatine, Tom's sword that used to be Gawain's, and it turns out to be a very dark story indeed, plunging them into another adventure.
If you'd like to read Tom's Inheritance for free, download here. Twice Born, the sequel is available on Amazon for $0.99 throughout August, and very soon will be on other retailers.

Four months ago Patrick Devereaux's little brother, Andrew, was struck down and killed by a car. Unable to express his grief, twelve-year-old Patrick is caught in a merry-go-round of guilt and denial. Then the eccentric Petersons move in next door. Twelve-year-old Gillian, a budding carpenter, is angry about leaving her best friend behind. Sarah, her nine-year-old sister, uses theatrics to deal with being in the middle. Their brother Neil, a lonely five year old, plays with imaginary buffaloes and a baby rabbit named Sparky. With dogged persistence, the Petersons set about to make hostile Patrick their new best friend. And Patrick begins, finally, to heal.

Andrew Hobbs reports live from Internet of Banking & Payments 2018, as director of product development at Mastercard, Veronika Colucci, reveals how PSD2 and technological advancements are changing the payments landscape.
The shift to tokenisation is central to the transformation currently taking place in payments. Tokenisation is the process by which the original card number is replaced with a surrogate value, called a token. These tokenised card details are then digitised and, along with the associated data and card art, delivered onto a device or the cloud.
For the end-user, this means greater convenience at the checkout, or other contactless payment point, and greater control and security through the activation and deactivation of tokens.
Mastercard's own tokenisation platform, the Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES), allows issuers and retailers to manage tokenisation and digitisation to create EMV-like security for every transaction.
It gives cardholders the choice and peace of mind to make more secure digital payments from a variety of connected devices.
MDES is now live in 33 countries and Mastercard payments on wearables are live in 18 EU countries.
The latter figure largely refers to Fitbit and Garmin fitness-focussed smartwatches, and excludes Apple Watch, Samsung Gear and Google's Wear OS.
Users add and manage cards via the Fitbit or Garmin companion app, and authentication is handled by a persistent four digit device pin that's entered each time you put on the watch.
Mastercard is also working with several companies on bringing MDES-enabled rings, bracelets, keyfobs and analogue watches to market. This includes well-known watch makers such as Montblanc and Swatch.
It's a sign of where the payments industry is heading: an environment where the process of paying for something is frictionless, barely noticeable, even, and enabled by almost anything, from small everyday items, right up to the vehicles we drive.
Technology is already presenting huge opportunities but we're just getting started.
Impressive though the MDES platform may be from a technology standpoint, at present it is largely the domain of established wearables companies – the likes of Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, and others.
This was a sentiment carried across in questions from the audience.
Many FinTechs may find the price of admission too high, and the several months it takes to go through testing is problematic. However, Veronika Colucci is adamant intermediary platform Fitpay opens the door to smaller businesses, and accelerates time to market.
Regardless, if PSD2 and NFC-enabled devices are going to lead to a wearables payments revolution, the supporting tokenisation platforms need to not only be secure and fast, they must also be affordable and quick to implement for OEMS.
Even Garmin, "an established wearables company" is using Fitpay to power Garmin Pay and my guess Swatch will too.

The new Safari 13.1 release has recently received an improved Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) tracking protection feature. From now on, the browser blocks all third-party cookies by default. That is, advertising and analytic firms will no longer be able to use cookies to track user activity in the browser.
Prior to this innovation, Safari had already blocked most of the third-party cookies used to track user visits to sites.
"This change is not as big as it seems. However, we have added so many innovations to ITP since the release of the function in 2017 that by now most third-party cookies have already been blocked in Safari, "said Apple software engineer John Wilander.
Safari is now the second browser after Tor, blocking all third-party cookies by default. Although Apple was one of the first to add this feature to its browser, Google prompted Google browser makers to take this step in May 2019. Then the company announced its intention to block third-party cookies by default in Chrome and Chromium projects. Based on the Chromium engine, Microsoft Edge is running. The browser blocks third-party cookies, but blocking is not enabled by default.

Astorga, a key point on the Way of Saint James to Santiago de Compostela.
The Cathedral was built on top of a Romanesque church and was not finished until the 18th century, when its two towers were completed.
Its structure is late Gothic with some Baroque and Plateresque elements, such as the main entrance and two of its towers. The main altarpiece is octagonal, a solution by its architect, Gaspar Becerra, to adapt it to the shape of the apse. The main entrance is in the flamboyant Gothic style and is exceptionally beautiful, abundantly decorated with plants and cherubs. The doors of the vestry are by Gil de Hontañón. Of particular interest is the walnut-wood pulpit with bas-relief attributed to the master Becerra. There are sculptures of great value such as an Inmaculada by Gregorio Fernández on the interior. The Diocesan Museum is located in a room off the cloister.

Philippines: New Killings As Impunity Reigns
July 19, 2011 July 31, 2017 Eurasia Review 0 Comments
By Eurasia Review
The Philippine government's failure to investigate and prosecute extrajudicial killings fuels further military abuses, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The government should ensure that officials vigorously investigate serious human rights violations or face disciplinary action, Human Rights Watch said.
The 98-page report, "'No Justice Just Adds to the Pain': Killings, Disappearances, and Impunity in the Philippines," details strong evidence of military involvement in seven killings and three enforced disappearances of leftist activists since President Benigno Aquino III took office on June 30, 2010.
"Activists are being gunned down in the street, while implicated soldiers walk free," said Elaine Pearson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "The Philippines can only bring an end to these horrific abuses if it is clear that anyone who orders or commits them will be jailed and their military careers will be over."
The report is based on more than 80 interviews across 11 provinces with victims of abuses, their family members, witnesses, and police and military officials, including a former soldier who said military commanders ordered him to kill leftist activists and intimidate witnesses.
Human Rights Watch was unable to investigate several other suspected extrajudicial killings reported recently by local media due to time constraints and security concerns.
The Philippines faces multiple insurgencies from the communist New People's Army (NPA) and other armed groups that have been responsible for many serious abuses. In addressing these insurgencies, the government should respect its legal obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law, Human Rights Watch said.
The military appears to have targeted several of these victims as suspected members of the NPA because of their involvement with leftist organizations, work on land reform, or opposition to the military's presence in their communities. Military units operating in conflict-affected areas often consider all leftist organizations to be fronts for the rebel group and anyone who opposes the military presence to be NPA members.
"My husband was lying with open [gunshot] wounds on his chest and neck," said Mercy Dejos, describing how she had found the body of her husband, a community human rights officer, and that of her son. "His fingernails were removed." Her son appeared to have been shot in the back, she said.
Several of the victims were killed or abducted in front of witnesses, either when armed men entered the victim's property and shot the person in cold blood, or shot the victim from a motorbike. Some attackers wore civilian clothes and covered their faces, while others wore military uniforms and made no attempt to hide their identities. In several cases there is evidence that soldiers worked with members of paramilitary forces – primarily the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Units (CAFGUs) – or paid military "assets," including "rebel returnees," former members of the rebel group.
A former soldier told Human Rights Watch that military commanders had ordered him to kill leftist activists and to hide or burn the bodies. He said the military had trained him and other soldiers to make targeted killings look like the work of the rebel group's Special Partisan Unit (SPARU) by using .45 caliber pistols and wearing balaclavas thought to be favored by the rebels.
"The brazen nature of some of these abuses – in broad daylight and in front of witnesses – shows how members of the military can kill and 'disappear' people with little regard for the consequences," Pearson said. "Tagging someone as a leftist activist is like sounding the alarm that they are on a military hit list."
The government has failed to effectively investigate and prosecute the killings and enforced disappearances perpetrated during the last decade, Human Rights Watch said. Neither has it held accountable those responsible for the most recent abuses.
Only seven extrajudicial killing cases have been successfully prosecuted in the past decade, resulting in the conviction of 12 defendants, none since Aquino took office. There has not been a single conviction of anyone who was an active member of the military at the time of the killing. No senior military officers have been convicted either for direct involvement in these violations or as a matter of command responsibility.
Police investigations have stalled – especially when evidence leads to the military. Arrest warrants against those allegedly responsible have not been executed and internal military investigations are nearly nonexistent. The Philippine Justice Department's inadequate protection program for witnesses, who have been subject to harassment and intimidation, has further hindered efforts to bring those responsible to justice.
Extrajudicial killings have long been a problem in the Philippines. Hundreds of members of left-wing political parties, political activists, critical journalists, and outspoken clergy have been killed or forcibly disappeared in the Philippines during the past decade.
In 2006 and 2007, when the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and several other major donors publicly raised concerns over the politically motivated killings under then-President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the number of killings dropped drastically. Under President Aquino, though, it is international pressure that has dropped, while the killings continue, Human Rights Watch said.
The US, the EU, Japan, Australia, and other governments should press the Philippine government to investigate these killings thoroughly, prosecute those responsible, require rigorous accountability in the military, and articulate clearly the consequences if these steps are not taken, Human Rights Watch said.
Human Rights Watch called on Aquino to fulfill his campaign pledge to end serious violations of human rights in the Philippines by directing the police and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to vigorously pursue crimes allegedly committed by the military or themselves be subject to disciplinary measures. The military should conduct transparent internal investigations and discipline officers and soldiers responsible for extrajudicial killings and enforced disappearances, including under principles of command responsibility.
"President Aquino should work toward leaving behind a professional, accountable military as his government's legacy," Pearson said. "The US, EU, and other donors should be asking the Philippine government hard questions about why killings and disappearances continue one year into the Aquino administration."

Leave these flats by the door; the black faux suede goes with everything and the almond toe turns up the sophistication on any outfit you pair them with - from jeans to an LBD.
Faux Suede Almond Toe Flats (Wide Width) is rated 3.7 out of 5 by 24.
Rated 5 out of 5 by A Fig from LOVE LOVE LOVE I LOVED these flat...Great for work and super comfy....please stock them again!!!! i wore mine in the ground and would kill to buy another pair!
Rated 5 out of 5 by rachlvght from Super adorable & comfy!!! I bought these about two weeks ago and have worn just about every day since. My feet didn't even hurt after wearing them for the first time. I'm stand and do a lot of stair climbing for work and they have just been perfectly comfortable. It also helps that they look absolutely adorable!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lanie84 from Cute flats!!! Love these flats! True to the size of wide width, might just be getting another pair! Very comfy!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Meli89 from SO comfortable I am a flat girl through and through & lets be honest who can go wrong with a good black flat. These are true to size I ordered a size 8 with no issues. The padding! OMG the padding! I have work days that I have to be on my feet for 8 hours assisting co-workers and normally my feet are in so much pain afterwords but the padding in these ease the pain and keep me going. It was easy to break them in with no blisters so bounce points for that as well. Honestly I have nothing negative to say.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lana997 from Great casual shoe, but stiff I'm definitely one for a good flat and these are it. I love how they can go with everything and I can wear them all day even chasing two toddlers. I do recommend to wear them a couple times before a day of walking/standing for long periods of time because they are pretty stiff. I tried these on in store so I tried sizing down and I really do not recommend doing so I'm an 11.5 and an 11.5 fit me just right. I love Torrids shoes they're great quality for the price and these are no different.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hjospitre from Cute and comfortable! Bought these for work and I am extremely happy I did. I could walk in them all day long. I love that they are wide AMAZING!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hunter23 from Great shoes I absolutely love this store. I haven't had anything to complain about. These shoes are really comfortable. I usually am a size 11 but after reviewing the comments in their flats everyone suggested to get one size bigger. I ended up going half way and getting a size 11.5. Best choice ever because they fit perfect, no too big nor too small. They fell mighty comfortable.
Rated 5 out of 5 by clinemoore from Beautiful and Comfortable Shoes! I bought these shoes a few weeks ago and I love them! They are so comfy, true to size, and super cute. I want to get more of these flats in different colors! Definitely worth 5 stars!
Rated 4 out of 5 by scirko from Great shoes! Really nice shoes. I've been wearing them for the last few days and they are great. I got a size 11 (my normal size) and they are slightly larger than usual for shoes from Torrid in this size in my opinion. But it's nothing that wearing sock liners cannot fix. I would definitely buy again!
Rated 4 out of 5 by TashN from lov'em great shape and width, easy to walk in and comfortable.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jessica713 from Run very big You definitely want to go down at least half a size. They are comfortable.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ebey04 from Cute but tight I haven't actually been able to wear these yet because they're tight on my feet. I purchased these for work and the biggest draw was the description that states they're real wide-width shoes, but I've never had this problem with wide-widths before. I'm going to try and stretch them, fingers crossed.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jennny23 from Nice, But Had To Return These These are a very nice pair of flats, wish I didn't have to return them. I realize "wide" is listed in the description, but these flats were SO wide on me that my foot kept slipping out when I walked in them. The overall shoe itself has nice padding and I suspect I would have been able to walk around them all day in complete comfort. The faux suede is beautiful, but beware that they pick up dust and pet hair like crazy! Had it not been for the width issue I would have definitely kept them.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tricia1988 from Stiff at first definitely need to be broke in Bought them a couple weeks ago and I like them but they did take a little breaking in the stiff sides dug into me a little at first.
Rated 3 out of 5 by BASTEEL2 from Not wide enough for me The item came in a few weeks ago, and the quality seemed well worth the price. but the width is not wide enough for my toes. I was hoping their double wide would be unique to the brand and specialized for people like me, but not so. If you're looking for cute shoes, this is it. But if you're looking for width, might have to dig deeper to get the right style before you fall back on it being double width.
Rated 2 out of 5 by darlingiknow from very cute but painful I have been wearing these for a few days now and they are soooo painful. they're very stiff. they seem to be loosening up as i wear them but they definitely need a bit to good break in.


Baselayers are one of those overlooked pieces of kit… why invest in something that doesn't show, doesn't keep the rain or wind off, further does it really make much difference what it's made of?
Over nearly 30 years of outdoor pursuits, I've moved through the various technologies and am now about to embrace 'proper' merino baselayers for cycling. I'm sure if you dug deep enough in the drawers at home, you could probably find an originnal blue Helly Hansen baselayer – they were pretty good when they were new, but lost any shape, shrinking wear-by-wear, in no time at all. The next 'batch' of thermals suffered from that distinct lingering odour, but at the time I was kayaking lots, so just assumed that encasing a sweaty boy in a waterproof layers with the base layer in between would always result in something fairly rancid that a washing machine would struggle to clean properly.
My recent base baselayer of choice in the colder months has been a Lowe Alping lomg sleeve, which has been wonderfully soft and not too smelly. When it's been warmer, I've been using a couple of Mizuno mesh t-shirst that I recieved at the end of a couple of Malmesbury Triathlons, but they definitely suffer from 'odour' and are definitely "worn-once-and-in-the-wash" shirts.
Having just treated myself to a Rapha long-sleeve jersey and wind jacket, I thought that I ought to bite the bullet and get 'proper' base layers to make this whole layering system work in the best possible way. I've not got several rides and a weeks skiing under the belt of my Chapeau Clothing base layers and they're proving to be fantastic. I know that you shouldn't boast about not having to wash clothes (it's probably a 'boy' thing), but easily getting two decent length rides out of one base layer without ending up stinking a damp Labrador is a joyous thing.

SF Insider > napa valley wineries > What Are Some Unique Napa Valley Wineries?
Dario Sattui Owns Castello di Amorosa and His Great Grandfather's V. Sattui Napa Valley Wineries.
Napa Valley wineries are in abundance, but tourists might choose to seek out the unique as they plan tours of wine country. Zeroing in on the most unique Napa Valley wineries is an excellent way to ensure the time spent is memorable and special.
Dario Sattui had a Tuscan vision for his winery. With focus and perseverance, he built a medieval-style castle on the grounds of his winery. Exploring the sprawling castle promises to be an unforgettable experience for visitors. With a drawbridge, secret passageways and even a torture room, the tour is something to remember. Guided tours on the estate provide visitors with full access to the castle, as well as opportunities for private tastings. A generous assortment of farm animals also live on the winery grounds, providing visitors with chances for lively interactions.
At Matanzas Creek Winery, guests are surrounded by breathtaking scenery, extensive fields of organic lavender and local wildlife. Gardener Joel Garcia heads up the team of gardeners who lovingly tend the rows and rows of lavender throughout the growing season. Guests are sure to enjoy sipping wine on the terrace while the scents of lavender fill the air. A lavender barn offers guests the chance to browse and sample lavender bath and body products offered at the winery. Wine tasting is available daily at the tasting bar or on private tours. Guests are also invited to pack a picnic to enjoy in a scenic spot on the estate. A bocce ball court is located just outside the tasting room, offering the opportunity for a rousing game of bocce.
If a gondola ride through a vineyard sounds like a slice of heaven, Sterling Vineyards is the place to visit. Aerial trams float serenely over the vineyards, offering guests a delightful view of the estate. Although the trams are certainly unique, they serve the important purpose of minimizing the impact of visitors on the natural environment. After arriving at the summit, guests are free to explore the property's unusual features such as winery towers with bells that once rang in the Church of St. Dunstan's in the East in London. Visitors who really want to experience the winery can even stomp grapes at Sterling Vineyards.
