This has been a long-awaited trip. I've been dreaming of visiting Lyon since I started this blog. I started it July 2009, but even before the blog I was writing with pen on paper in a notebook, which seems like an ancient method nowadays. I spent 2007-2008 traveling throughout Europe while I was finishing my last semester of university in The Netherlands. I had made a few trips to France, but always to Paris, and then once to Marseille, Nice and Monaco. I haven't been back to France since then.
The last time I was in France (about 10 years ago) I was researching navettes and bouillabaisse in Marseille, croissants and beef bourguignon in Paris, and Nicoise Salad in Nice. I still have the same passion, but it's translated differently. Mind you, I'd still go back to Paris and research the same things, but on this occasion I shifted my focus away from Paris. Paris, was only where I landed, and Lyon was where I was going.
The whole trip started when I was in Alba, Italy last year with "the world's most extreme foodies". We were discussing plans for 2017 and where our next reunion food trip would be. We were throwing out exotic locations and obscure restaurants, until we finally came to the conclusion of not messing around and doing things traditionally. By "traditionally" I mean forgetting about the fads, trends, fashions, and "hot" restaurants, but to go back to basics and visit those who started it all. So France, in particularly Lyon, was the answer.
Gastronomy is part of France's identity, especially in Lyon, and they have a reputation to uphold. French cooking is arguably the backbone to all cooking, and it is in France where we find many culinary godfathers inspiring generations.
These culinary masters and "fathers" of the cooking world are getting older, and have either passed their restaurants onto their sons or apprentices, so I wanted to prioritize the trip and visit sooner than later.
I've always associated Lyon with Paul Bocuse because I've been following the Bocuse d'Or competition for the last 5-6 years. It's perhaps the most prestigious cooking competition for an individual and considered the "Olympics" of the culinary world. I said I would go to Lyon one day in support of the chef representing Canada. The competition only happens every two years though, and "why wait?" and "life is short" were messages running through my head. I was craving more than the food, it's the education, history and culture behind food that actually drives me, so it had to be done.
Paul Bocuse's Restaurant – L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges
I don't have a list of "50 Things to do before I die", but this is something to live for. A visit in Lyon is simply incomplete without a visit to the (culinary) pope of French cuisine, chef Paul Bocuse. This is a reason to come to Lyon, France alone, and not necessary for his restaurant, but to understand the impact this legend has made on French cuisine.
His Three Michelin Star restaurant just outside of Lyon, in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or, is an institution. Signature dishes include: Scallop of Foie Gras, Pan-Seared with Verjus Sauce, Soup with Black Truffles and Foie Gras, Turbot in Champagne Sauce, Pigeon in Puff Pastry with Young Cabbage, Poultry of Bresse in bladder "Mother Fillioux", Sea Bass in Pastry with Sauce Choron, and "President" Chocolate Cake by Maurice Bernachon. The experience in itself is respectfully a "Culinary Disneyland" – playful, comical, and over-the-top. Take it for what it is.
Also make a visit to Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse, the upscale covered artisanal market named in honour of Paul Bocuse. First class producers include Trolliet for meat, Mme Sibilia for sausage, and La Fromagerie Mons and Mother Richard for cheese. These are favourite suppliers for Lyon's top restaurants, including Paul Bocuse.
The stereotypes of traditional French and Lyonnaise cuisine is heavy and indulgent with lots of sauce, cream and butter. I'm not necessarily disputing it, but there is more to it. The food is absolutely rich, but they don't eat like that every day. It's a little bit here and there and modern restaurants are turning towards a lighter approach.
Lyon has over 3882 restaurants in the metropolis, about 94 Michelin-starred chefs, and around 21 Michelin starred restaurants. Paul Bocuse's restaurant has received Three Michelin Stars for over 50 years (it's more or less "grandfathered in"), and missing it would be like missing the Mona Lisa in Paris – you don't. However I wouldn't spend my time exclusively chasing stars, because missing out on Bouchons Lyonnaise, restaurants serving traditional Lyonnaise cuisine, would be a crime.
Daniel et Denise – a traditional Bouchon Lyonnaise
For an authentic bouchon, a typical restaurant found in Lyon, Daniel et Denise is respected. It's a certified bouchon serving traditional Lyonnaise cuisine including a signature pâté en croûte, quenelles (ground fish dumpling in crawfish sauce, reminiscent of Chinese fishballs but no bounce in the bite), bechamel pasta, confit potatoes, and hen's egg with red wine sauce. For dessert there is an apple tarte tatin with pralines and an Ile Flottant (floating island made of meringue) with pralines.
**Correction: Brasserie Georges is 180 years old, not 280.
Chocolate Sève by Richard Sève
Brasserie Georges
I was a bit hesitant with Brasserie Georges and its 500+ dining hall, but it's one of the most iconic brasseries in Europe (since 1836). They are known for charcut, sauerkraut, beef tartare and their Baked Alaska for Two. The sausages are produced at another facility with their house recipes. It offers comforting brasserie dishes served in generous portions, so I recommend coming with a group and preparing for a feast.
Le Loges at Hotel Cour de Loges
One of my favourite dining experiences in Lyon was at One Michelin Star, Les Loges, a gem inside my historic hotel Cour des Loges. My tasting menu by chef Anthony Bonnet, who earned his one star at the age of 29 in 2012 after leading the kitchen at 25, included a fantastic sous vide Mediterranean shrimp with a shrimp and tomato bisque. My favourite was the Lakefish confit in cacao infused olive oil lacquered in sweet onion cream sauce, and the "duck l'orange" (foie gras baked inside an orange with rhubarb, sweet onion and bread) served tableside. The pigeon with mushrooms is a take on Paul Bocuse's pigeon, but not a copycat. The Bresse Hen leg confit with pasta would make Italy jealous, and the fresh sheep's cheese with the hotel's rooftop honey and fresh cream (Lyonnaise specialty) is truly a treat. Lastly was pine honey and matcha chocolate dessert and Venezuelan chocolate mousse with smoked juniper. This hotel is a win for the restaurant alone.
Where to stay:
I stayed in Vieux-Lyon (Old Lyon) at the 5-star historic hotel Cour des Loges which opened in 2000. It's one of the finest hotels in Old Lyon and discrete from the outside. The inside looks like a restored 16th century renaissance castle in Italy with high ceilings and friendly staff. The check-in desk has housemade madeleines at all hours and it houses an exceptional One Michelin Star restaurant, Les Loges, by Chef Anthony Bonnet. There are only 12 tables and one seating a night, so reservations are highly recommended. Also, what's more convenient than a stellar restaurant inside your hotel?
If you prefer something ultra luxurious and modern, but still charming with character, I recommend 5-star boutique hotel, Hotel Le Royal Lyon by Sofitel. It is the home of Restaurant-école at l'Institut Paul Bocuse and they offer private cooking classes and a student operated upscale restaurant.
La Mère Brazier
The famous Bresse chicken cooked whole in a pig's bladder "balloon" is a replicated dish in Lyon, but this is the original. This one at Mere Brazier is served two ways: breast and chicken oysters (my favourite) with tarragon cream sauce (served hot), and crisp leg with salad and white wine vinaigrette (served colder than room temperature, but warmer than chilled).
Most think chef Paul Bocuse made this dish famous, but his version is actually in honour of his mentor, Mere Brazier. Everyone has a teacher, and this was his. Her name isn't nearly as celebrated or remembered as many culinary "godfathers", but she is as deserving and a legendary "Mere Lyonnaise" ("Mother of Lyon").
Mere Lyonnaises were women, typically home cooks, who quit their domestic jobs to open small restaurants.
Eugenie Brazier is an icon in Lyon and arguably the first woman to receive Three Michelin Stars in 1933 after opening her first restaurant in 1921. La Mere Brazier is now a Two Michelin Star run under chef Matthieu Viannay.
Signature dishes include Spider Crabs with Osetra caviar, Artichokes and pan fried foie gras, Wild Mushroom Ravioli with fresh herbs, spring almonds and savory juice, Veal sweetbreads and lobster with green peas and "Racy Juice" or coral juice,
Crispy Pike Mousse with Crayfishes and Nantua sauce (my favourite course here), and Bresse Poultry cooked in a bladder in two services for two people.
France considers this specialty free range chicken from the town of Bresse, near Lyon, the best in the world. The flavour is not as distinct as its firm texture.
For dessert I had the signature Grand-Marnier Souffle, Caramelized Mille-Feuille with pear and Jasmine cream, and Baked Alaska with whisky, apricots and almonds.

I was going to let it go, but I couldn't. I've been there, calling it "High Tea" instead of "Afternoon Tea" and not even acknowledging the difference. It's a big difference too, and it's time to point them out.


You wouldn't think he would be a likely candidate for conversion, but the ways of God are beyond human explanation. In his book Son of Hamas (Tyndale, 2010), Yousef tells how he met a man who gave him a New Testament. Because of his interest in religious matters, he decided to read it to see for himself what it said. Naturally he started with Matthew. Soon he encountered the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). There he got his first unfiltered exposure to the pure teachings of Jesus.
1. Who are the enemies in your life?
3. Read Luke 6:27-36. Why did Jesus tell us to turn the other cheek?
4. Name someone who is a good role model of showing love to difficult people.
5. What steps do you need to take to love your enemies?

Despite loss, there's reason to be hopeful about Patriots moving forward
FOXBOROUGH — While there aren't moral victories or anything like that, there's reason to feel better about the 2019 Patriots following the 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.
Yes, the Patriots are still 10-3 on the season and have lost two consecutive games for the second straight year in December, but they are still in the driver's seat to be the No. 2 seed in the AFC. While they ultimately didn't get the job done, they proved they can beat one of the best teams in the AFC.
The last part had not really been proven before Sunday.
The Patriots' best win of the year came all the way back in Week 4 against Buffalo, as the wins over Philadelphia and Dallas do not look as good now given the state of both teams in the NFC East. Then after a tough loss to Houston last Sunday night, the question was can the team actually beat a top team in the league with a good quarterback?
No one can walk away from Sunday's game saying the Patriots have no chance against a good team with a good quarterback. And no, it wasn't just because of a few blatant missed calls that did not go the Patriots' way, it was an indication the defense can stop a good quarterback and the offense is slowly finding ways to get getter.
The Patriots defense held the Kansas City offense under 24 points for the first time in its last seven games and for just the second time all season. And the majority of the damage came in the first half. In the second half, the Patriots held the Chiefs to just three points, 97 total yards of offense and Patrick Mahomes to 57 yards passing. That doesn't discount the 249 yards of total offense in the first half and Mahomes throwing for 226 yards, but it shows the ability to make adjustments and stop one of the best quarterbacks and offenses in the entire NFL.
While the defense is not in the same category as the 2000 Ravens, it is still a very good unit and has the ability to carry the team with a not so spectacular offense.
"I'm really proud of the way our team competed tonight," Bill Belichick said afterwards. "Those guys went and battled for 60 minutes. It wasn't always perfect, there were certainly things we could have done better, but we were competitive right down to the final play and that'll serve us well going forward. Obviously, we've got to do some things better than we did them tonight. It just wasn't quite good enough under the circumstances in the game. There's no point in talking about those, but hopefully we've got a lot of football left and see if we can get back on track next week, and that's really all there is to it."
Offensively, it wasn't close to perfect or even good enough for when it matters in the playoffs, but there were glimpses of hope for when it does.
It's worth noting the unit does not need to score 30-plus points each and every week. Because of how good the defense is, it just needs to start scoring a touchdown or so more a game because it has averaged 17.6 points the last five games. Scoring 24 points with what the Patriots defense is should be enough to give the team a decent chance to win games come January.
So, where were the positives?
It appears Sony Michel's role may be dissipating. The second-year back entered the game averaging just 3.5 yards a carry, but only had five carries for eight yards against a Kansas City defense that was averaging over five yards a carry this season. And all that came in the first half — he did not receive a single carry in the second half.
James White was the leading rusher with just 33 yards, but it seemed the Patriots went to him a lot more in the second half. While White is best used as a third-down back, the shift away from Michel could be a sign perhaps third-round pick Damien Harris might finally get his chance. Next week is the perfect week to do it, taking on the one-win Bengals. If he does get a chance to play, who knows what can happen? All he needs is a chance.
And even if it doesn't happen, anyone else carrying the ball seems to be a better option than Michel of late.
Another thing was whether it was the referees blowing a few calls or chippy play on the field, the offense was playing with the most life and showing more emotion than it has in weeks. That led to more confidence and with that came five drives totaling 30 yards or more, the same number as the Chiefs. Maybe a little extra fire will be what it takes to get the unit going. Those five drives are not ones to be raising a banner for, but it would seem likely they have the potential to carry over into future games.
And lastly, there's the Josh McDaniels factor.
While trick plays are never something an offense should rely on, the Patriots' offensive coordinator proved again he knows exactly when the right time is to call them and make them work. He has the ability to get the offense going just by the plays he calls, and really no other coordinator in the league can say that. He absolutely can make a difference in the playoffs, and he showed how Sunday against the Chiefs with the flea-flicker for a touchdown early and then White's pass off a pitch late. Just like the Patriots' special teams has proved it can make blocked punts and impact plays happen in almost every game, maybe the Patriots offense can do the same with trick plays.
By no means did Sunday's game all of a sudden make the Patriots the favorites in the AFC, but it did make you feel at least a little bit better about their chances come the postseason than you did going in.
Think about it, pending beating the Bengals, Bills and Dolphins to close out the year, all it will likely take to get to the Super Bowl is a home win over Kansas City or Houston, and then an upset win in Baltimore over the Ravens.
Difficult, but not impossible.

The 9th edition of Ethnofest is here!
For the 9th consecutive year, the Athens Ethnographic Film Festival – Ethnofest returns, introducing a selection of the best ethnographic productions of the last few years, organizing interesting tributes, discussions, panels and masterclasses, and underlining the exciting present and the dynamic future of visual anthropology and ethnographic documentary.
From the 21st till the 25th of November 2018, Ethnofest will be located in ASTOR cinema, as well as a few new locations in Stoa Korai, just opposite to the screening venue, and in Technopolis City of Athens. More than 50 films will be screened, taking the audience to cinematic journeys from Brazil to India, from USA to Australia, from South Africa to Greece – to name but a few of the places depicted in the films of this year's edition. We are also very happy to host many filmmakers in the festival where they will present their films, discuss with the audience and share their views and experiences.
On an educational aspect, this year's edition includes a masterclass with Dr Rupert Cox, filmmaker and director of the Postgraduate Program in Visual Anthropology at the Granada Centre of Visual Anthropology, University of Manchester, whose film "Zawawa, the sound of sugar cane in the wind" will screen at the 9th Ethnofest. Dr Cox will give a masterclass on sound in visual ethnography, entitled "The Sound of the Sky being Torn: Three ethnographic experiments in the translation of science into art". Also, filmmaker Dr Alexandra D'Onofrio will give a masterclass on story-telling techniques and collaborative filming practices, entitled "Liv-in Stories. Creative Storytelling in Collaborative Ethnographic Practice".
This year the festival decided to focus on Health with a series of screenings that offer "Ethnographic Views on Health". This tribute is implemented by the Operational Program "Public Sector Reform" and is co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund) and Greek National Funds. The film tribute has free admission, the non greek-speaking films have subtitles in greek and it is accessible to disabled people. The films "Why is Mr W. Laughing?", "TB in Town 2" and "Regarding Gravity" are Greek premieres.
This year's themed section of the 9th Athens Ethnographic Film Festival, titled "Critical Encounters: the European Refugee Crisis", attempts to problematize the "crisis", and to approach it as a point of encounter and dialogue, but also, as a condition of violence and division. The themed section is guest-curated by anthropologists Katerina Rozakou (VU Amsterdam) and Ifigeneia Anastasiadi (Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences) and it will include a series of screenings, as well as discussions and side-events.
The ninth edition of Ethnofest includes two special screenings: the anniversary screening of Dennis O' Rourke's exceptional – and classic – film "Cannibal Tours", which will be screened 30 years after its very first screening in Greece, as well as Stavros Psillakis' emblematic documentary "The Man who Disturbed the Universe", shot twenty years ago at the Chania Mental Institution. the latter will be screened within the context of the tribute "Ethnographic Views on Health". Furthermore, like every year a selection of films made by the students of the Summer School, organised by Ethnofest in collaboration with the Netherlands Institute in Athens, will be screened.
Finally, a new section, called "Filmic Experiments in Ethnography", will be inaugurated. The aim of this section is to present films that experiment with the medium, forms, narrative techniques and practices of the genre and of social sciences in general, creating new visual and sensorial experiences, In the context of this section, two films will be presented: Rupert Cox's "Zawawa, the sound of sugar cane in the wind" and Mattijs van de Port's "Knots and Holes. An essay film on the life of nets".
We hope you will enjoy the 9th Ethnofest and see you at ASTOR cinema!

West Ham vs Southampton 29/02/2020 – EPL 2019/2020
Match reports have been few and far between this season as to be fair there hasn't been a lot to report. Injuries , poor placement of players into positions, and non form of key individuals meant things have not been too great.
This report will not really add to this. We played a sub par Southampton team, but we had all our players in the right places, and Bowen got his long awaiting start, and we just tore them apart.
Haller proved the doubters wrong. Completely different player with others around him.
Today was mainly around the other big WHU event of the day. The supporters "stroll". Basically this was a marched protest from about 1.5 miles outside the stadium ,picking up more and more people as we traveled in. Alone it proved nothing, but maybe it does give cause for concern with the owners that its not 200 "Old men". There were women and kids and a few old men, who united in the cause that the lies are enough and we need to move forward.
This is where the issue is for me. The cause seems to be to get them out, fair enough. But we need the alternative, and that doesn't appear to be forthcoming. There are rumours of American Billionaires and Red Bull, but that's all they are. Best we can get is a climb down and engagement as we continue the relationship.
But lets keep the pressure on. They have already shut down their undemocratic "Supporters Board". They have suggested holding elections for supporter positions. They will bend over backwards for this to go away, and we need to be constructive with how we use that leverage. First up for me , is let's test the mettle of the stadium operators and put in a bid. They are losing money hand over fist, and I imagine will take a lowball bid. Once we have control of the stadium, move all athletics duties to Birmingham post 2022. The anniversary games is not a sell out anymore and must cost money to put on.
Once that's out of the way, we can dig down and reseat the lower tiers into being next to the pitch, a la the Etihad. Yes we may be out of the ground for a year or 2, but it's not such a big deal ,when we don't feel we have played at home since 2015 !
So that's it , the march was good start and hopefully the numbers will get bigger, but we have to have an objective that is achievable else we will be accused of pedaling pipedreams , just like GSB.

The return of the Moyesiah
OK, first off , slightly joking with the title.
Here we are again, nearly 2 years to the day since i wrote this . And we find ourselves back in the same boat, calling the same batphone. But we also find ourselves in a better cabin on that boat.
Slaven went as he tried to work with players Sullivan bought, who were clearly not good enough. Pelle went as he made good signings , based on recommendations from his team, but couldn't get them into a formation suited to their skillsets. Which for someone with his experience, is odd and backs up the Man City fan opinion regarding stubborness and unwillingness to change.
So once again, in comes David Moyes, And once again the team he has inherited is way better than he maybe expected. Subtle tweaks here and there are already producing results.
I have been saying for ever we need to get two up top (since Allardyce) and DM has moved Anderson into the space behind Haller to great effect. We seem to to have changed to a back 3 with pushing full backs, which definitely plays to the strengths of Fred and Arthur. However this may be curtailed with the injury to Fred during the Gillingham game. I cannot see Zaba charging up and down against Sheffield United this Friday.
Despite me doubting him massively when he signed , DM needs to find a space for Fornals. His recent performances, cannot be dismissed, and he could be Pelle's last present to the faithful. Either Snodgrass or Lanzini needs to make way. Snods would be the easiest, however Lanzini doesn't appear to be at it at all. His Instagram shows him in London very rarely and maybe January would be a good time to move him on for a few quid for someone who needs a playmaker.
Which brings us to the one remaining puzzle. Defensive midfield. Pushing Noble further up the pitch is always good for him (this has also been discussed by me ad infinitum). But 5 at the back and 3 towards the front (Anderson, Haller, Lanzini) leaves 2 . With Noble pushing towards Lanzini, leaves Rice in that hole. Are we good enough for one holding midfielder ? 3 center backs suggests we are . What we cannot do however is this insane substitution of subbing Noble for Sanchez. Sanchez is not equipped to play up the pitch, so invariably plays further back, which when we are chasing is counter productive and brings teams on.
DM will (and has already) upped the tempo of play. He has also dealt with the Haller issue (for now. Against better opposition we may see a switch back). He seems to have brought Diop back in from the cold, and put Noble in his natural position. So far so good.
The real test will be Friday against Sheff Utd. A team on the up, and a team that will fancy their chances against us (home or away). Another clean sheet will be a result for us. Draw or win , I'll be happy with.
Personally I thought Moyes should have had the job longer term than he was last time. He has enough experience and is young enough to still be hungry. Lets get behind him and see this season out, and hope this time he sticks around !
Before we finish, can we just take some time to digest that Mark Noble is currently the Premier Leagues highest scoring player this decade !

WHUFC vs Crystal Palace EPL 2019-2020 05/10/2019
As usual West Ham fail to capitalise on a good run of form and throw away a lead to a decent enough team, but not quite at our level.
As with most Hodgson's teams, there was a straight 4-4-2 across the board, where defence and midfield play close together meaning we have to break down. Once or twice we did get through, and as you might have seen in the build up for our goal,once we do, it was plain sailing.
Anderson and Lanzini were nowhere near their best, therefore creativity was at a premium. In fact the whole team seem to have a bout of wooliness, that stifled any smart play. Haller had chances to score that he didn't take , and they got very lucky with a rebound. The penalty was also slightly contentious but more likely to be given than turned down. So all in all, happy with the draw.
Aha, but we didn't draw, we lost. TO VAR. I'm OK with VAR, but for clear and obvious errors only. It's an assist, not a judge. For a player to be adjudged 5 mm onside , there needs to be something else with the same amount accuracy. The ability to match exactly when the ball is kicked/headed/whatever. Unless you can 100% match these two, any of these too close calls cannot be made, and you have to go with the on the pitch decision (which was offside). From where I sat, it looked offside as well, but there you go. Lose 2-1 and move on.
We are seventh in a league that outside the top one, looks pretty open.
South London Ultras. LOL
That was then………..
Becoming Quite traditional now.

WHUFC vs Manchester United – EPL 2019-2020 23-09-2019
Before someone tells me I only write about wins, I have only made one of our two previous home games this season and that was the predictable white wash by City on the opening day, and there was literally nothing to write about.
I arrived at this game quietly confident (and had been for a couple of weeks). We have been not only playing well but seem to be settled in our style and cadence. This hasn't been seen for some time. Man U on the other hand seem to be struggling with team selection and a (for them) poor transfer window. This also hasn't been seen for a while.
I watched Man U in their Thursday night European game and thought they huffed and puffed, but in Greenwood they had a player, who could get in amongst our defence.
Talking of which, the preferred line up seems to be Ogbonna and Diop in the centre back berths. I have warmed back to Ogbonna since his most recent run in the team. He has stopped the silly mistakes and seems confident to be the leader over Diop, whereas with Reid or Collins he wouldn't despite being the better player. There were some interesting words being said about Balbuena by MP, so lets trust the manager on that one. And 5 games unbeaten suggests he is right.
There were 2 enforced changes this week, Cresswell coming in for Masuaku at left back and Fornals getting the nod over Wilshere for the Lanzini position. Fornals, sort of yes. Cresswell however seem to split the support, who were vocal in their support for either Zaba or Johnson, both right backs.
Longer readers will remember my obsession with round pegs in round holes, so I was happy with the selection. I don't get the stick Cress gets although I admit he was a better player pre injury. We are not enamoured with high quality left backs !
Our visitors decided not to play Greenwood, which suited me and with no Pogba, and the aging Mata and Matic playing, seemed quiet understrength.
The first half was a pretty dull affair up until just before half time, a Noble – Anderson interchange ended up with the ball at Yarmalenko's feet, and he duly slotted it away.
I did have a lot of words to follow that wordpress dained not to save, so I'll be brief.
Second half, West Ham were the better team by far, especially after Rashford left the field with an injury. Cresswell topped off a good game on this comeback by raising the spirit of Dimitri Payet to drill in a free kick late on in the half.
Nearly everyone played well, Noble was outstanding. Fornals, not so. He needs to rise to the pace of the game. I was very surprised to see Anderson and not Fornals being replaced by Wilshere. But I suppose MP thought the game was won and he needed the gametime. MOTM was Ogbonna, commanding at the back and looking like a leader.
The press have gone to town on Man Utd with no praise for us, as usual. We are now back to back winners against Man U in the league at home. Yesterday was plainly a good team performance against a not so good one, but this time I dont feel it was a bad day at the office for our visitors. It's more endemic and could be the new standard unless things change quickly. There is a malaise in Manchester , which I think was displayed by the subplot of Phil Jones and Ed Woodward. Why Greenwood never got a chance I don't know.
Apparently Sky was full of Roy Keane trapping off. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
On the way I met a group of lost early 20's Man U fans, and each one shook my hand, so at least real fans got it. These are lads who have only known success, so fair play. Also had my photo taken by a crazy Ukranian who was shouting about Yarmalenko.
Oxford and Bournemouth up next. Both away. Would be nice to get an unbeaten September in.

WHUFC vs Newcastle United 02/03/2019 – EPL2018/2019
Very late as is becoming the norm, and I know I've missed a couple of games, but Fulham at home was just that. Fulham at home. Despite their early lead, as soon as it went to 1-1 they really didn't want to know. Since then their manager has been sacked and former hammers favourite Scott Parker has been installed, so good luck to him , he will need it.
Newcastle arrived on a decent run and were likely to be a better test than when we beat them at their place earlier in the season.
Actually, stuff that. The Geordies were also devoid of ideas and even their fans were (for them) a little quiet. Today was all about a real club legend. Billy Bonds. Six foot two, eyes of blue and all that.
The stand I usually sit in was being renamed after him, and he now sits alongside Bobby Moore and Trevor Brooking in getting this honour. This led to Gary Lineker winding up twitter suggesting the remaining stand was becoming the Mark Noble Stand. Although a little premature I think that would be better than what it probably will be. The Lycamobile stand ? The Betway ? The Kens Cafe ?
Anyway I say the stand I usually sit in, as for the first time since we moved I sat elsewhere for the game. In the prawn sandwich seats no less. Not quite a box, but very corporate. We (me and @mrsmackay) were kindly hosted by a supplier of hers to enjoy the game in a different atmosphere. This involved getting there considerably early and me seeing the "dark side" of the stadium I have never been around to that side, not even for other events.
Its very much what you would expect if you have been in the Club England section at Wembley. Lots of escalators and people knowing where they are going (except for you). We ended up in a lounge called the Forge for our lunch. Whilst munching, we enjoyed an interview, on a stage about 10ft away, about Mr Bonds, from some ex players. Namely, Alvin Martin, Ray Stewart, Stuart Slater, Pat Holland and Kenny Brown (jnr). Being the game was against Newcastle, Alvin was given the liberty of retelling his historic hatrick against the magpies (again!).
Food was 7/10. Entertainment was 8/10. Half time was interesting , listening to a guy on an acoustic guitar, playing Jump Around by House of Pain. Different, but he just about got away with it. Service was as you would expect, polite.
Don't get this in Block 232
Anyway we filtered out early , as Bonzo was getting his presentation 20 mins before kick off. We were greeted by a great sight.
Billy was led out though an honour guard of ex players
And then was interviewed by Alvin Martin
Billy and Alvin
And then cut his ribbon, to open the stand. During his lap of honour there was not a dry eye in the house, especially from the man himself. as he made his way around the stadium a tribute played on the screens.
Billy Bonds is after you !
Bill finishing his standing ovation.
All parties have to end, and if you know where to look you can see my empty seat !
Then there was the little matter of the game. Mark Noble is the closest we have to a Billy these days, and we are all hoping that the mantle will be taken up by Declan Rice in the future. He did himself no harm by netting a header after 7 minutes, much to the consternation of @mrsmackay who wanted a bet on him to score the first goal only to be dissuaded by yours truly! From then on there was only one winner and a mistimed tackle on Hernandez gave us a pen just before half time. Ably converted by Mr Noble. The second half was only notable for me for 2 reasons. One, Longstaff at Newcastle is being touted as better than Rice, and was hooked at half time while Declan was picking up another MOTM and more plaudits. Secondly, and more interesting was Marko entering the fray (mystery illness from Wednesday cleared up). Clearly not happy at being a sub and not the darling of the fans anymore, outside of 2 runs it was Marko pre Moyes of sulking and and waving arms. He needs to sort himself out or the manager has no option but to start him from the bench every game, which actually is doing peak Marko a disservice and could actually cost us points along the way.
So, another good day at a stadium that is slowly (very slowly) becoming home. Not sure if I could do corporate every game but it has its advantages.
Ludo, Ludo , Ludo, and me and @mrsmackay
Handy to be able to watch replays in real time !

WHUFC vs Arsenal 12/01/2019 EPL 2018-2019
My second visit of 2019 to the London Stadium also brought home the harrowing fact the in the Premier League era, Arsenal have beaten West Ham more than any other club. But the early kick off normally upsets the apple cart (and the Acca punters) and this game did its bit to keep up that tradition.
Rumours abounded around Arnie. He's going, he's staying, his brother is a shit stirrer, allsorts. My take is this. If he wishes to leave to play in empty stadiums, in a league that will also most likely mean he loses his international place as well, just for cash, then good luck to him. He earns more than he can spend already.
Also lets be realistic, if someone offered you twice your wages to do the same job somewhere else, you would take it. Maybe not in China, but at least your head will be turned. He left Stoke quick enough, and we are no different, such is the way of the modern footballer. They chop and change all the time. Reece Oxford is our 5th longest serving player currently !
So Arsenal, Wengerless and let off the leash. 22 game unbeaten runs, new broom, and no win in 4 away from home in the PL.
We started with probably with as good as team as we could, but this was no plucky little West Ham. All the big guns were there with the exception of Balbuena. Ogbonna has scared me this season, and early on did nothing to shake that feeling, as Rice had to get him out of a hole a couple of times as Lacazette gave him the run around. However , once the early nerves went, everyone did their job. Antonio was making the runs down the wing we got used to a few years ago. Diop seemed to get his confidence back (it took a few games with Balbuena as well, obviously doesn't mix well with others!)
Rice and Noble dominated. Rice especially. I'm not the only one saying every game he gets better, but he does ! We have started passing instead of lumping. Nasri I thought was quiet after reading the report of the previous week but he did nothing wrong. Arnie was quiet, and I'm sure I saw Anderson make a tackle !
Just after half time (0-0), we get a bit of a ricochet ball in the box, which Nasri calmly tees up for Rice, and its top corner , one nil. Declan's first goal for the senior team on his birthday weekend, 2 weeks after getting a new contract. Arnie take note.
After that , we looked assured and controlled the game. Arsenal had some longer range shots and did actually get the ball in the net twice, but with comically offside attempts. And that was that, no panic, no last hurrah from the opposition. A relatively painless win, except for Arnie who left early to be replaced by Carroll. He applauded all round the stadium as he left the field. I have commentated above on my opinion around this, so that's that, or is it? Would you pay a potentially injured player 200k a week ?
Carroll looked sharper again, and closed down well, as did Snodgrass when introduced. We finally have a proper squad.
Obviously a lot of the credit has to go to the manager, who had kept banging on about installing a big team mentality into the team. But this needs to translate across to the fans as well. We can live in the past glories of being there just about in the league but always having a say in the title with a couple of big scalps a year or we can become the team that plays in front of 60k every week ,with big players, and expectations to match.
Gary Firmager used to say the worst thing to let loose at West Ham is expectation and back then he was right. But we have to accept that the fan base and the club has changed dramatically over the past few years, and we should now demand this level of team from our board.
MOTM Declan Rice. All day long. Happy birthday !
Little bit wobbly.
WHUFC vs Crystal Place 08/12/2018 EPL 2018-2019
WWW. Nothing to do with Tim Berners-Leigh but WHU's current form stats.
Helped out by playing those around us in a fortuitous fixture list, only interrupted by the visit of Man City (describes by the Stop HammerTime podcast, as a "contractual responsibility")
But the style of the wins has been the most encouraging. 3 goals in each ,and most of the action in the second half. So why the slow start ?
Against Palace, it was because they (Palace) came out like lunatics, having probably seen that the Cardiff game could have been all different if the penalty went in. Cardiff and Newcastle were more us feeling our way into the game. Against City that cost us the first goal.
So Palace go one nil up with a soft goal. No panic for West Ham and by half time , although still one nil down, I knew we would not only come back but would win easily. All we needed was a mistake and as all the teams around that position in the league know (including us) , it will happen.
Or you can just pop in a worldie, as the ever improving Robert Snodgrass did straight from the kick off. Surely that completes his transformation back into a West Ham player. He bent one in that didn't look anywhere near the goal until the last second . From then on it was all WHU, with Hernandez taking a typical poachers goal to secure the lead. The game was over (nearly) when 2 minutes later Anderson bent in one that was better than Snodgrass's and almost identical to the one he scored against Burnley.
Last month we met some Italian lads on holiday and they told me Anderson would be long periods of frustration interspersed with genius and the case seems to be in their favour. He cannot tackle despite making the run and taking the position, his passing sometimes is off, but boy can he shoot !
As we approached the end of the game we started to go backwards a bit defending our 2 goal lead. By now, with Grady and Anderson on the pitch we were a little lightweight in the tackling dept, and Palace kept coming, eventually getting their second, and making the last 10 more exciting than it needed to be.
So we go 3 for 3 and 10th in the league with struggling Fulham, Watford, Southampton and Burnley next up. 30 points for the new year would be lovely, but let's not get too carried away.
Best encouragement for me, and worst for non Hammers, is we have proved we are not a one man show. we have won 2 games now with no Arnie. Perez is not his replacement however, and Carroll looked massively sluggish. But with the midfield chipping in with the goals, it will paper over the cracks. Noble looks like he's back his own self as well, which is no bad thing.
January is coming and I think if we can pick up a couple of full backs maybe Byram and Masuaku can go. With Arthur it's a shame, as the talent is there but the mistakes can no longer be ignored.
Once again Rice was awesome and this transfer window does worry me. Don't forget anyone who is still in Europe can buy him and play him. Leaving the negotiations until the end of the season is madness, but lets hope it works.
MOTM Rice.

WHUFC vs Burnley 3/11/2018 EPL 2018-2019
Once again a late submission, but times are busy these days.
A game we really needed to win as our opponents are not having the best of seasons and we need to close the gap on the middle tier, as we hit our supposedly easier run of games (including city in the middle), which takes us to December.
Injuries mean Grady held his place on the right (ahead of Antonio) and Obiang came in for suspended Noble. Anderson also started of Antonio, for reasons best known to the manager. He has had no issues dropping players for poor performances previously, and surely Felipe is in that category.
Anyway we get going and seem to be in no problems , moving the ball around comfortably and they don't overload the midfield which probably does us a favour.
After 10 mins Marko robbed an outgoing ball from their defence to slot home the first, and to be honest it was going to be a case of how many. But Burnley defended well and in spells had the ball, but didn't trouble the hammers. Until just before half time when with pretty much their first shot on target they scored.
We retook the lead when Anderson bent one round Joe Hart, only to be pegged back again from a corner (again).
For the last 30 mins we brought on Hernandez and having 2 up top made such a difference. I know I have been banging on about this for some time , but we really need to bite the bullet and just bloody do it. It gives Marko licence to go wide if needed and it was him linking up with Anderson that got our 3rd, sealed with a typical assured finish by Hernandez in injury time to take all the points and cushion the gap to the bottom 3.
So , is the heat off Anderson ? From this house, no it's not. Still not willing to put in a tackle. He woke up once he realised the competition wasn't much. We cannot carry flat track bullies, but maybe the 2 up top option will give him more space in front to do his stuff, but the jury is still out.
Balbuena and Diop were fantastic again ,but need more help because letting in 2 goals at home normally means 0 points.
Rice is getting better and better and I imagine that contract is getting more expensive. It also looks like Zaba might be on his way come the end of the season, so Frederick's needs to up his game if the cup game against Totts reserves was anything to go by.
MOTM Balbuena.

WHUFC vs Tottenham 20/10/2018 EPL 2018-2019
I'll be brief as its a late file (not feeling too clever). Lets get to the ending first , the spuds won their cup final, but once again , like Wolves a draw would have been a fair result.
We started Cresswell for Masuaku (required) and Snodgrass came in for the injured Obiang. The bench was attack heavy, so we needed to play well.
We actually did. Just one lack of concentration by Declan Rice just before half time let Lamella in to score the only goal of the game. Maybe this might bring him on that bit more (as would giving him the contract he wants!).
Cresswell gave us balance at the back, however having Anderson in front of him hindered him somewhat. The fella was useless, like really poor. When you have 3 attempts at a corner and cannot get it over the first man, you really need to take a look at yourself. Noble used to do this and we took him out of the firing line. But at least Noble would win a tackle and not dally around doing the root of nothing. Once flash goal against Man U doesn't make a season, and the boss needs to pull this fella in before he really flops at the club. Especially when our U23 player Grady Diangana came on early for the injured Yarmalenko and didn't look out of place at all. Which doesn't bode well for Antonio, who didn't see game time until well into the second half.
It was nice to see 2 up top with the introduction of Hernandez ion the second half to play alongside Arnie, but it may have been too little too late.
One thing that I did see, which I hope was just the ref having a a bad day at the office, was Harry Kane seemed to get away with murder. Diving, shoving, fouling, all not penalised. It was like Shearer had never retired.
MOTM by a mile was Diop. He's forming a great partnership with Balbuena and long may that continue. I just hope that some of these poor results but massive reviews for him, don't turn his head.
November Next week !
Finally somewhere to put a pint in the Stadium

Free scoring West Ham. Words never said in these pages before. But after 11 in a week and 2 comfortable wins at home in the bag, maybe we have changed into a more attacking force on a permanent basis.
Some may argue that 8-0 against Macclesfield doesn't count. My argument is that not many pro games between any two teams irrespective of their position end up 8-0 , let alone one where the favourite hands out 3 debuts to u-21 players. Anyway, onto the main game. West Ham Man U games always seem to have something about them, whether its "Hands up if you are out of the FA cup" Fabian Bartez or Sweinstiger throwing people and balls into the goal. And obviously the last ever game at Upton Park. Winston Reid, nuff said.
Confidence was high coming into the game and the visitors seem to be in turmoil. Why I just don't know. The reason I say I don't know is that the squad and players available should not be having any issues. Seems to be mainly around Pogba and the lack of decent centre backs. Obviously Jose thought a defensive Pogba would cover the defensive frailties. Pogba and the rest of world seem to think he's better further up the pitch. But Sky making it headline news with cameras at Carrington ? Ridiculous. Would Fergie have them there ?
We started out of the blocks quickly and West Ham took the lead after 5 minutes with Anderson giving me a heart mumour, with his cheeky flick around De Gea.
Man U, as well as having an unfamiliar kit (pink ? Ecru? c.WHU 1996 ?) had an unfamiliar style. No swagger, no plan, and seemingly, no care. Is this the new Man U, or are the players staging a rebellion to off the manager ?
To be fair to them, they came back into it, forcing a couple of good saves from Fabianski. But we seem to be back on top by the end of the half, and we rode our luck as a Yarmalenko shot defected against Lindelof for our second. The second half was very much United but we seem to be really happy for them to have the ball, as we were dominating everywhere. Diop threw a tackle in on Lukaku that WHU forums are describing a Moore eske. Noble made Pogba look very poor, and PP ended up being subbed off after 70 mins. Masuaku and Anderson were linking up well on the left, to keep us ticking over. Yarma was subbed off rightly for Snodgrass. And what a sub. That fella was everywhere for the remainder of the game, harrying and breaking up play. Rashford made an impact after coming on and took his goal well.
Normally that would be a sign for WHU to collapse, but the new look hammers don't do that, and a great pass from Noble sent Arnie through for our 3rd, and more importantly 3 points.
We rounded the game off by bringing on Wednesday's 2 goal debutante Grady Diangana for a couple of minutes experience.
The stadium was lit, which really makes a change, and we deserved the win despite all the papers today banging on about Man U and their implosions.
MOTM was Noble by a mile. Every time this fella gets written off , he comes back and earns his stripes all over again. Having Rice just behind him, frees him into his best position.
Rice ? Just give him the contract. I understand after the Oxford fiasco, that giving a young lad a few bob can turn his head, but this is different. He now has plenty of games under his belt ,and seems to mature with every game. He also seems to be a magnet for the ball by his positioning and that is rare. If this drags out to January, we will lose him, plain and simple.
Its very interesting how MP has upgraded the team. Fabianski is a massive upgrade on the popular Adrian. Diop and Balbuena are streets ahead of Ogbonna plus 1. I think there will be a clear out in Jan ,and I see Antonio being near that door as well. He just doesn't look right in the team any more. What's really interesting is that all of those players were nailed on starters when fit last year, and not players I thought would be fringe this year.
Long may it continue. Phone was flat yesterday so pictures are courtesy of the Evening Standard.
I'll just pop this in the corner off my wrong foot.
It's not there Dave ?
If you get away quick Paul, Noble wont follow you all the way home as well.

Q: Framework7, Firebase, VueJS Routes RequireAuth This is my main.js
import Vue from 'vue';
import Framework7 from 'framework7/dist/js/framework7.js';
import Framework7Vue from 'framework7-vue/dist/framework7-vue.js';
import Routes from './routes.js';
import App from './app.vue';
import * as firebase from 'firebase';
Vue.use(Framework7Vue, Framework7);

var config = {

};
firebase.initializeApp(config);

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  template: '<app/>',
  framework7: {
    id: 'io.framework7.testapp',
    name: 'Framework7',
    theme: 'auto',
    routes: Routes,
  },
  components: {
    app: App
  }
});

console.log(Routes)

Routes.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
  // let currentUser = firebase.auth().currentUser;
  console.log()
})

I tried for a few hours now to implement that a user needs to be Authenticated before he can enter the Home View. Otherwise he will be redirected to the login View.
Maybe anyone can help me.

A: The following changes to your main.js file should normally do the trick. (I don't know however, if the framework7 framework interacts with the router and may cause problems).
You use router.beforeEach() to check if the "target" needs the user to be authenticated (based on requiresAuth meta). If the user is not authenticated you need to redirect her/him to the signin page. For that you can use firebase.auth().currentUser. See the corresponding Firebase doc here.
import Vue from 'vue';
import VueRouter from 'vue-router';
import Framework7 from 'framework7/dist/js/framework7.js';
import Framework7Vue from 'framework7-vue/dist/framework7-vue.js';
import Routes from './routes.js';
import App from './app.vue';
import * as firebase from 'firebase';

Vue.use(Framework7Vue, Framework7);
Vue.use(VueRouter);

var config = {

};
firebase.initializeApp(config);

const router = new VueRouter({
  Routes,
  mode: 'history'
});

router.beforeEach((to, from, next) => {
    const requiresAuth = to.matched.some(record  => record.meta.requiresAuth)
    const currentUser = firebase.auth().currentUser

    if (requiresAuth && !currentUser) {
        next('/signin')
    } else if (requiresAuth && currentUser) {
        next()
    } else {
        next()
    }
})

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  template: '<app/>',
  framework7: {
    id: 'io.framework7.testapp',
    name: 'Framework7',
    theme: 'auto',
    routes: VueRouter,
  },
  components: {
    app: App
  }
});

A: I don't know anything about Vue Router but the firebase way to do this is to wait for onAuthStateChanged method to trigger and track user state with this function.
To wait and get user state, i wrote a piece of code that you can call before changing route.
var user, authPromiseResolver, authPromiseResolved
var authPromise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
  authPromiseResolver = resolve
})

var waitForUser = function(){
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
    if(!authPromiseResolved){
      authPromise.then(resolve)
    } else {
      resolve(user)
    }
  })
}

firebaseApp.auth().onAuthStateChanged(function(firebaseUser) {
  user = firebaseUser
  if(!authPromiseResolved){
    authPromiseResolver(user)
    authPromiseResolved = true
  }
})

waitForUser returns a promise who wait for first trigger of onAuthStateChanged (which will determine if an user is already logged in or not at page refresh), then resolve with user data or null it no user is logged in. So you just have to call this function before accessing each page :
waitForUser().then(function(user){
  if(user) {
    // An user is logged in
  } else {
    // Page unauthorized
  }
})

Each time the user state change (user logout/login), user variable will be set to null or with firebaseUser object and waitForUser() will always be resolved with the current user state

Hoag Hospital to Deliver Maternity Services with the Opening of the Fudge Family Birthing Suites in Irvine this December
Sep 9, 2020 | Around Town
This winter, Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian will open the Fudge Family Birthing Suites at Hoag Hospital Irvine, which reimagines pregnancy, delivery and recovery for modern families — with private birthing suites, a perinatal VR guided program, and a calming outdoor walking garden.
Already a leader in women's health, with the most prestigious nursing credentials in the nation and the most trusted maternity staff in Orange County, Hoag has listened to the needs and desires of today's new mothers in designing 12 birthing suites in Irvine that are unlike anything else available in a hospital setting. The suites include a number of enhancements to Hoag's traditional maternity model including access to midwives, birth plan preferences and single room maternity care. Moms-to-be will experience labor, delivery and the first precious moments with their newborns all in the same hospital room.
"In designing these suites, we listened to women at all stages of the birthing journey and created an ideal set of services to meet their needs and exceed their expectations. The suites are designed by women for women to nurture them through this incredible moment, said Allyson Brooks, M.D., Ginny Ueberroth Executive Medical Director Endowed Chair and Chief Quality Officer, Hoag Women's Health Institute. "These suites represent a paradigm shift in maternity care that is being driven by a generation of new moms. We are proud of what they have helped us create."
An extension of the world-renowned maternity services at the Newport Beach campus of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, the new Fudge Family Birthing Suites combines the reassurance of a Hoag delivery with a family-centered design and home-like amenities. The suites were named in honor of Orange County philanthropist Gary Fudge, whose generous financial gift made them possible.
Accommodating evolving trends in maternity care in Irvine, one of the nation's fastest-growing communities, the new suites offer the ability to labor, deliver and recover in the same room, as well as two C-section operating rooms and a level 2 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Located on the first floor of the hospital, the Fudge Family Birthing Suites offers an adjacent private outdoor walking garden to serve as a calming influence on expectant mothers.
"We are really excited to invite the midwifery model of care into the birthing suites," said Kimberly Tillotson, C.N.M., director of the birthing suites and OB education at Hoag. "Certified nurse midwives provide a wide range of primary health services, and many patients today are looking for the kind of wellness education, care and counseling that they deliver."
Hoag is also co-developing NurtureVR, a virtual reality program designed by Dr. Brooks and by neurosurgeon Robert G. Louis, M.D., program director of the skull base and pituitary tumor program at Pickup Family Neurosciences Institute and Hoag Empower360 Endowed Chair for Skull Base and Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, in partnership with BehaVR. NurtureVR harnesses the latest research in virtual reality's positive effects on education and empowerment, behavioral health, and pain management. This 22-week perinatal VR program will provide education, professional support, stress resilience training, emotional regulation practice and self-efficacy skill building for expectant and postpartum mothers. Women can even customize their virtual prenatal experiences to include their own uploaded 3D ultrasounds.
"Today's families have a clear idea of what they want from their birthing experience, and we are excited to be able to provide safe, comfortable and nurturing environments for their momentous and life changing event," Dr. Brooks said. "Integrating state-of-the-art medical advances into a calming environment will create a birthing experience that is like no other. This is particularly true when it comes to our NurtureVR program. Studies show that the use of virtual reality during labor empowers a woman during her birthing experience, reduces the experience of pain and may also lessen the amount of pain medication needed during delivery."
Hoag officials said the 18,000-square-foot labor and delivery suites will help meet the growing need for maternity services in Irvine. The rapid growth in and around Irvine has resulted in an expanding population of households with young children. Irvine consistently ranks as one of the best places to raise a family. In 2019, nearly 7,000 babies were delivered at Hoag's Newport Beach campus – and 34 percent of the new mothers were from the greater Irvine area.
Hoag's commitment to Irvine and the surrounding communities has always been focused on expanding convenient access to world-class care. The acute care services available at Hoag Hospital Irvine are directly across the street from Hoag Health Center Irvine – Sand Canyon, which was designed as a community-centric health care "village" offering a wide range of specialized and comprehensive health care services.
"Hoag's health care village model provides highly personalized, simplified and comprehensive medical and preventative care in modern facilities, bringing Hoag's renowned services where they are needed most – right where people live and work," said Marcy Brown, Senior Vice President and Chief Hospital Operations Officer at Hoag. "Expanding women's services in Irvine with the opening of the Fudge Family Birthing Suites make it easier than ever for women and families to access our renowned services and programs without leaving their community."

In 1922 the owners created a couple extra closets and effectively split the house in half by walling off a segment of the hallway. This covered the door from the dining room to the hall (that became one of the closet doors) and they had to remove the double French doors from the entry parlor to the hallway.
This resulted in a MASSIVE wall addition in the hallway, and vastly darkened the space with the removal of the French doors. It also obstructed the staircase, which while still usable, was no longer the central feature of the space.
Either during that addition, or sometime after, they stripped the aging and stained wallpaper out of the hall, but unfortunately, then sprayed all the exposed rough lumber with a deep red stain, perhaps aiming for the Mahogany color of the wood work. They even included the ceiling. This created a space that was so dark and claustrophobic that it is nearly impossible to even photograph. It simply swallows all light.
Looking in the hall door. The wall to the left is the addition.
Looking from the hall out the entry parlor door. The wall to the right is the addition.
The hall closet door. That entire wall is the addition.
Removal of this addition was high on our list. This single construction changes the house from light and airy to dark and forbidding. It also makes it a trip through several rooms to get anywhere. Since it was cold and dark outside, and this project doesn't strain the budget (it cost exactly "nil"), we set to it.
We set to work with a Stanley Wonderbar (Hint: Get you one of these miracles of destruction!). There's an article about it posted in our tools section. We had to be careful not to further damage the floor or door trim, and additionally, moldings removed from the hall side of the French doors had been used as trim and fill in this construction. We wanted to save those.
From the entry parlor...the actual doorway is beginning to become obvious.
After removing what has to be 3/4's of a ton of lumber, and pulling sixty-bajillion nails, we now have a usable and friendly hallway again, as well as a door from the dining room to the hall.
Looking from the entry parlor to the hall.
Hard to believe how much better it looks.
The house and hall immediately become more open, airy, and friendly.
A great view of the staircase. There's more to be done there.
Looking back at the area we just uncovered shows the scale, and the old wallpaper gives a hint of the former grandeur of this place.
The wiring in this house like a Hollywood movie sequel…old and badly added onto. It ranges from knob and tube, to zip cord stapled to the wall, to romex run under the house. Sometimes you've just gotta rip it out and start from scratch. Here is the closet wiring…the first of much I'll be happy to rip out. The zip cord ran out of the wall addition, across the hall ceiling, and was spliced onto the knob and tube feed for the hall light.
The closet wiring. The first of many similiar things I'll be ripping out.
Well, that's it for this project. A little more sweeping is needed but that's about it. This took about six hours of steady work and cost nothing.
We also still have to install the French doors, but first we have to recover them from another alteration of the house. That will be another project.
Hope you've enjoyed. Feedback is welcome!


Occurring only once every four years, Drupa is to the printing industry, what the olympics is to an elite athlete.
Chapel Press represented Australia, as the letterpress underdog, amongst the heavyweights of the international printing community. The aim was to stay abreast of any technological developments, source supplies and to further develop relationships with overseas partners.
Highlights include meeting Florian Kolhler, CEO and owner of Gmund Paper Mill. Visiting the letterpress printing museum demonstration exhibit where we purchased every letterpress poster available for sale. Posters hang proudly on display in our Moorabbin showroom.
A short flight from Cologne to Munich, a 90 minute limousine ride down to the foothills of the Bavarian Alps to visit the Gmund. Special thanks to our expert guide and german interpreter Herbert Eibach for allowing us to experience many aspects of his cultural and paper heritage.
The tour commenced in the paper museum where we hand made paper using traditional techniques. Followed by inspection of the pulping, paper machines, reel storage, converting, embossing, sheeting, quality control and sample department. We were also privileged to visit the paper laboratory to meet with the Stephan Treske, Technical Director and discuss ways to further develop the Gmund Cotton paper range for letterpress.
The Ideas Institute delivers the historic "Ascari Ferrari" to Melbourne on the 60th anniversary of the 1952 Grand Prix World Championship as attribute to this car's legacy. The Ascari Ferrari, the 1952 Ferrari 500 Chassis No. 5, was driven by Alberto Ascari to claim Ferrari its first two world championship titles in 1952 and 1953. It became the single most successful chassis in Grand Prix history. This Ferrari has a very fond place in Australia's motorsport history, having also been raced by Tony Gaze DFC OAM, the first Australian to compete in a Grand Prix, and Lex Davison, who claimed two Australian Grand Prix wins with the car.
Chapel Press were commissioned to print a commemorative limited edition letterpress poster showcasing an original Ascari Ferrari 500 No. 5 photograph from 1952. Reproduction photograph halftone screened, letterpress printed on the Vandercook Universal III cylinder proving press using in dense black letterpress ink and 600gsm Lettra Pearl White 100% cotton paper. The edition was limited to a run of 200 prints individually numbered and presented to all VIP guests on the night at 101 Collins.
In addition, Chapel Press produced the A5 double sided information card, offset printed mono colour using 300gsm Lettra Pearl White 100% cotton paper.
Debbie Ryan, Michaela Webb, Pascale Gomes-Mcnabb, Ian Wong and Beci Orpin.
5 design luminaries present 5 facets of a colour of their choice at this fast paced, highly visual event, hosted by Zenith.
Chapel Press were a proud participating sponsor, letterpress printing event invitations designed by Studio Round. Thanks to the Gmund Paper Mill for providing their luxurious 600gsm Gmund Cotton Linen Cream paper stock. This was the very first opportunity to showcase the new letterpress cotton stock. The finished invitations were letterpress printed in tinted varnish on 600gsm stock, duplex mounted to make 1200gsm with elaborate forme cut finish.
Chapel Press first visited the National Stationery Show in New York back in 2007, which was a real eye opener into the international world of letterpress. At the time there were only a handle full of letterpress enthusiasts here in Australia, so it was great to rub shoulders with many other letterpress people from across North America.
Of the 1400 exhibitors throughout the stationery show, approximately 100 or more booths had letterpress wares on display. At this time, retailers were experiencing what they believed to be the peak of a 10 year letterpress boom within the USA.
All in all, it was a great experience to see how letterpress had evolved in the USA and it ignited our enthusiasm to further develope the letterpress market back home in Australia.
2008 was the year Chapel Press exhibited at the National Stationery Show in New York. After months of preparation to build the stand and print promotional material, everything came together just in time for opening day. This was the launch of the new Chapel Press Collection, a range of designer letterpress wedding stationery.
Once again in 2010 Chapel Press visited the NSS and took the entire design team and production team along for the ride. Thanks to the new Qantas A380 and discount ticketing we were there in a heart beat. It was great to catch up with many of our international letterpress friends we had met on previous visits.

Put any content you want in a slide. Style it any way you want. Just leave the <section> tags alone. The 'slide' class will handle all the stuff you should need there.

How you get the data in is up to you. It could all be hard coded. I personally prefer PHP, which also makes keeping track of your unique IDs a little easier.

Adding timed actions is easy. Simply add the 'action' class to the element, add a unique 'id', and a 'data-seconds' attribute. You can also add a 'data-animation' but I only have 'FADE IN' programmed right now, and it's the default, so don't worry about changing it now.

		<div class="action" id="<?php echo fireId(); ?>" data-seconds="2" data-animation="">This action fires 2 seconds into the slide.

West Towson Elementary School and the PTA Wellness Committee strive to encourage the physical, social, emotional, and mental health of all students. We are committed to providing an environment that enhances the development of lifelong wellness practices and motivates all students to be fit, healthy, and ready to learn.
* Last year we were treated to an awesome demonstration by the fantastic Radical Ropers of Dumbarton Middle School!
*Check back for more information!
The program is a cooperative initiative to increase physical activity during the school day. We are fortunate to partner with GBMC to make Paw Fit! a fun and healthy way for our Westies to be more active.
There is a vast body of research showing that exercise is beneficial to cognitive function, which means that exercise can have a positive impact on children's academic achievement!
On November 7th, we kicked off Paw Fit! Students participate in minimalist (little or no equipment!) exercise "bursts" with emphasis on good movement. Consistently good mechanics translates into physical competency, enhanced sports performance, and fewer injuries for kids.
Throughout the remainder of the school year, students will work as a class to complete activities at stations set up around the school. These are short, approximately 5 minutes each, and will encourage physical activity, teamwork and help boost learning.
For every ten stations completed as a class, each student in the class will earn a sneaker charm to display proudly (and encourage friendly inter-class competition).
Classes that complete the most stations will win an exercise party!


If someone ever buys me a bottle of Château Grillet and bakes me a room full of banana bread, I will consider that a marriage proposal and would say "Yes", since that person obviously knows me and loves me.
Many wild cherries, raspberries, and redcurrants on the nose, with a slightly leafy (in a good way) backnote. Palate is well-balanced, and only brings more of the red berries forward. A lovely, reliable traditional-method sparkler from here in Niagara.
While slightly tamer than other Moscati d'Asti I've tried, it does retain not only the important orange-blossom and grapey aromas, but the acidity and sweetness that makes Moscato d'Asti such a pleasing wine. It's a friendly wine, not only in the sense it's pleasant to drink, but also in that anyone you share it with who likes it is almost certainly worth befriending.

Having read her thoroughly remarkable book and watching her dignity and spirit throughout all of this is quite a legacy she has left her children. Having a husband die of cancer that spread to the liver, I am glad that she went as quickly as she did. It is just more than sad. We lost a fine lady. A tough one, but gutty in all the right ways.

Q: Expected property type size I'm starting to learn QML.
I found here that there is the 'size' type in QML. But when I'm trying to use it:
property size buttonSize: "75x30"

I get the error:
Button.qml:13:14: Expected property type
         property size buttonSize: "75x30"
                  ^

Why?

A: size is not directly supported as a property type.

Transylvania 6-5000 (Blu-ray)
Tabloid reporters Jack Harrison (Jeff Goldblum, Earth Girls Are Easy) and Gil Turner (Ed Begley Jr., She-Devil) are sent to Transylvania with two choices: find the Frankenstein monster—or find new jobs. But before the jumpy journalists can dig up their big story, they must first face the horrors of an extremely clumsy butler (Michael Richards, TV's Seinfeld), a nymphomaniac vampire (Geena Davis, Beetlejuice) and a semi-mad doctor (Joseph Bologna, Blame It on Rio), as well as assorted mummies, werewolves and more Transylvanian oddballs. Can these two bumbling heroes unravel this monstrous mystery—or are they in for some very scary surprises? Co-starring John Byner (The Ant and the Aardvark), Carol Kane (TV's Taxi), Jeffrey Jones (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Norman Fell (TV's Three's Company), Donald Gibb (Revenge of the Nerds), Teresa Ganzel (The Toy) and writer/director Rudy De Luca (History of the World: Part I). Transylvania 6-5000 was the one and only feature film directed by legendary comedy writer and actor De Luca (Silent Movie, High Anxiety, Caveman, Life Stinks).

Region 12 Superintendent Dr. Bruce Storm has presented a welcome and laudable plan to repair the three elementary schools in the district.
On the surface, it would seem logical that schools ought to be repaired routinely over time.
But in Region 12 the longstanding conflict over whether to renovate the schools or build one consolidated elementary school for the district has overshadowed everything, even basic repairs.
While residents of Washington, Roxbury and Bridgewater have squabbled about the pros and cons of a consolidated elementary school -- a plan we continue to oppose, particularly on the optioned property in Roxbury -- the three existing school buildings have increasingly needed fix-ups.
Dr. Storm has suggested forming a "work team" of selected board members and the first selectmen from each town. Remarkably, the board agreed last week with only one member dissenting.
Jim Hirschfield , who represents Washington, objected, saying such a move would blunt consolidation or extensive renovation.
Taxpayers are unlikely to pay for repairs now, then millions more for renovations or a single new school, especially given the economic climate.
The long-neglected repairs have been a stumbling block to lease negotiations for the district and the elementary schools in each of the three towns. The district is operating on a temporary one-year lease.
It would be premature to declare the conflict over.
The work team has a serious task ahead to gather a list of necessary repairs and cost estimates by April.
The district board still would have to approve the plan, which then would go to a referendum in the towns.
But Dr. Storm's plan is a breakthrough step toward providing a quality education for the district's elementary students in safe settings.
