Golden Age of Groceries
By • February 24, 2011 • Feature, News
The meat isn't the only thing marbled at Eataly's butcher counter.
Evan Sung
Waiting on a block-long line for fresh produce and ingredients is not standard fare, but customers for the new Chelsea food hall and market, Eataly, have been doing so willingly ever since it opened last summer.
Imported to New York by Mario Batali, Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, and Joe Bastianich, Eataly was founded in 2007 in Turin by Oscar Farinetti, and it is nothing less than a food revolution—at least in terms of the retail experience.

While the food—a staggering array of pasta, coffee, chocolate, cheese, fish, pastries, bread, fresh meats and produce—is the ostensible draw, it is the environment that elevates Eataly far above quotidian grocery shopping.
Located in the bottom floors of the resplendent Toy Building on 23rd Street between 5th and 6th avenues, Eataly is downright theatrical, exceeding the expectations of a shopping audience long primed in the stagecraft of food presentation. It's preceded by such destination foodie experiences as Macy's Food Cellar, Balducci's, and even the relatively new national chain Whole Foods that is upscale enough in appearance to be a welcome tenant in luxury business towers such as the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle.
A profusion of labels at Eataly becomes a design element on the well-stocked shelves.
"We are in a market renaissance in this country," said David K. O'Neill, a market consultant who helps bring what he calls "haute food courts" to parks, waterfronts, and campuses.
But even for food-savvy New Yorkers, Eataly represents a new level of immersive shopping. Shoppers enter under a grand Baroque arch. But the interior is in fact a mash up of 19th century New York, Roman food market, and mass transit food court: high ceilings, egg-and-dart molding, marble niches, terrazzo flooring, and high-tech pendant lamps over white-tiled stations. The bread area includes a gold mosaic wood-fired oven, turning out daily fare and crusty specials but also providing a postcard backdrop for tourist photo shoots. In a marble alcove, mozzarella making is raised to high performance as two men knead and stretch the taffy-like material into little mouthfuls or "bocconcini," while elsewhere rustic signage explains esoteric meat cuts, shelves of regional products appear to be arranged according to the color of the labels, and dining tables are surrounded by the latest in Kartell plastic chairs. Such details, each calibrated to achieve an effect of classic tradition, artisanal dedication, or contemporary Italian chic, are easy to miss but still contribute to a collective ambiance emphasizing visual stimulus. Clearly convenience and easy access—not to mention price—are no longer the purpose or goal in this new kind of food emporium emporium as spectacle.
Clockwise from left: Simple enamel fixtures shed light on a dining area; Rich architectural details including symmetrical niches; road-sign-themed wayfinding guides customers through Eataly's cavernous space; glass jars of tomato sauce add color to the end of an aisle; informational graphics with a rustic look; utilitarian fixtures add an industrial element.
At Eataly, visitors quickly get caught up in the pageantry of the place, a stage set for sumptuous offerings available at every turn—and the visitor does turn frequently in this interior, which cunningly recreates the bustling crowds of Italy. Most seem quite happy to be jostled and distracted. What they are shopping for hardly seems to matter: they are consuming the excitement that the market's designers set out to create.
The precedent for the hall isn't any actual space, said Alec Zaballero, principal at TPG Architecture, executive architect for the 42,000-square-foot Eataly, but what he calls "an embedded idea," a common image of the market place of an Italian hill town. "It's a great image—stalls, coffee bars, ice cream." Eataly, he said, "is almost like walking into a public square. You're dining in public." To make the point, the design—a collaboration among TPG, Eataly, and the Batali-Bastianich group in New York—dispenses with walls between the informal dining areas and retail.

But Italy has no lock on inspiration for market architecture. In the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, Wyckoff Exchange, designed by Andre Kikoski, plays to a more hipster urban-age sensibility with a look that says "close to the source." Covered in Cor-ten steel, the soon-to-open market's façade transforms an ordinary warehouse into a rough-hewn insta-market. A motorized steel wall acts as a gate when closed and retracts upward, folding into an awning that protects customers entering the glass-fronted market. The building pays homage to Bushwick's industrial history while creating a venue for locally-made foods and even vegetables grown in the neighborhood's urban farms. A new organic market is set to open inside Wyckoff Exchange this spring. Kikoski's firm, AKA, designed the Guggenheim's new restaurant, The Wright, which was awarded the 2010 James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design. He thinks his work for Wyckoff Exchange, owned by Cayuga Capital Management, could be a model for how neighborhoods can be transformed through innovative but fairly unobtrusive interventions, a kind of pop-up architecture that suits marketplace informality.
Once the stage is set, market consultant O'Neil often steps in to make commercial sense of the interior layout. "In a market, frontage is where you make all the money; you don't need deep spaces. If you stood on a market aisle and looked at the different traffic patterns, you'd see that people hesitate to go into side aisles, especially cul de sacs." He likes to say that the market tells a narrative, and getting the right story across depends a great deal on lighting. "It tells the eye where to go, yet can be incredibly cheap. You don't want people to look at the architecture, you want them to look at something they can buy." To that end, displays should be plentiful but neither too neat nor too high. They should offer a multitude of colors and prices.
The Ocean Grill at the Plaza Food Hall offers a dining experience with an emphasis on freshness.
Todd English
O'Neil says that what a designer places at the end of an aisle is critical to keeping customers moving through the market. "The beacon at the end of that sightline is very important. And it's amazing how many times people don't get that right." That's just as true for humble, temporary farmer's markets as for places like Harrods, the quintessential London department store food hall whose motto is omnia omnibus ubique ("everything for everybody, everywhere") and arguably one of the first grocery venues to realize that there is a food customer for whom price is no object.
The Plaza Food Hall by master chef Todd English tries to give diners and shoppers the excitement and upscale merchandise of Harrod's in the context of the Plaza Hotel. "This is theatrical. Todd wants to showcase the preparation [of the food]. It's theater. Pure food theater," said Jeffrey Beers about the 5,000-square-foot hall that he designed in collaboration with English and that opened last June. Considering its tony location on Central Park South, and that the food is chosen by English from some of the best known purveyors in the city—such as Balthazar and Murray's Cheese Shop—the hall offers surprisingly reasonable prices at its eight stations serving sushi, dumplings, cheeses, charcuterie, oysters, and baked goods, along with other specialties. Diners eat at high, closely arranged tables where a conversation with a stranger is bound to ensue. Kitchens are open so preparation becomes the central show. After a meal, customers may buy the same high-end ingredients used by English or even cookware, which is sold in niches around the room. The density, Beers points out, "brings people together. There's not an awkward moment. It's the new nightclub, a daytime nightclub."

English and Beers, who have worked together on a host of restaurants since 2000, were dealt a tough hand: the hall sits in the basement of the Plaza in the center of an upscale but undistinguished shopping concourse. As a response both to the site and the reputation of the Plaza, they chose to create a room with fairly muted colors except for an occasional orange wall or the bright red of their brick pizza oven. The hall's counters are made of dark-stained oak topped with marble, and floors are black-and-white mosaic tiles.
"What I like is there's a patina already. It doesn't feel new; it could have been here for eight months or 80 years," said English. As far as trends go, it's hard to say if food hall spectacles are hear to stay, but as Epicurus might have said, "Eat, drink, and enjoy the shopping while it's still fresh."

Here`s what you need to know about Leave Travel Allowance?
Prior to the close of every financial year, working people through various measures try to minimize the amount being paid to the government in the form of tax.
LTA is a tax exemption given to employees by their employer, when the former is travelling with their family or alone. The amount paid by the employer is tax free.
Under Income Tax Act, 1961, Section 10(5) with Rule 2B specifies conditions relating to LTA. One can avail LTA claim only if you have taken leave from your job for travel purposes.
Although employers usually do not require to submit proof of travel to tax authorities, it is mandatory for them to collect proof of travel details from employees, as the employers have the right to demand documentary proof if needed.
It is always advisable for employees to keep a record of their travel such as boarding passes, flight tickets, invoice of travel agent, duty pass and other documentary proofs in case the assessing officer or the employer demands for it.
There are certain travel limitations applicable under Leave Travel Allowance.
BankBazaar report tells us about the benefits of LTA for an employee.
Firstly, it is one of the important components of the salary structure that helps in saving income tax. It can be claimed for travel fare or tickets within India only. Expenses incurred for accommodation or any other fee will not be eligible for exemption.
An employee can produce his/her travel-related bills for the journey through air, train, bus or any other mode of transport and save on taxable income.
An employer adds the LTA to employees salary structure based on various factors such as title, position, pay scale, etc. LTA benefits can be availed only if it is a part of the salary structure.
Here's how you can claim LTA.
Before you decide to submit claim for LTA, first you are advised to check your pay structure.
The LTA amount will be different from one employee to the other, however, if you are eligible for LTA, you should produce tickets/bills as per the criteria and submit the same to your employer.
As every company officially announces the dates for LTA claims, you will need to fill in the applicable forms, attach the documents such as travel tickets, boarding pass etc., and submit it to your HR or accounts team.
It may be noted that you need to make the LTA claim before the employer makes the final calculation for tax liability.

Allocation Draw
In the spotlight: Vasil
14 April 2020 at 10:05 CEST
In the spotlight: Vasil Bojan Stoilkovski
Vasil
With his song, 'YOU', Vasil was chosen to represent North Macedonia in 2020. In light of the unfortunate cancellation of the 65th Eurovision Song Contest, we wish to highlight the impressive acts that were set to appear. This is 'In the spotlight', our feature honouring the artists that would have made up this year's edition of the world's largest live music event.
Macedonian Radio Television, North Macedonia's public broadcaster, chose Vasil to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam through an internal selection process. No stranger to the Eurovision experience, Vasil was part of Tamara Todevska's Eurovision team as a backing vocalist at last year's Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv.
Who is Vasil?
Vasil Garvanliev started his musical journey at age 7, performing at some of North Macedonia's most popular children's festivals. Soon thereafter, he moved with his family to the United States, where he continued his career as a soloist at the Chicago Children's Choir.
From child pop star to over 50 operatic roles and recitals at music festivals across the world and collaborations with some of the world's most prolific artists, Vasil's motto in life is simple: wherever words fail, sing.
Since his return to North Macedonia in 2018, Vasil has released 3 highly successful singles: Gjerdan (Necklace), "Patuvam (Travelling) and Mojata Ulica (My Street). His first solo concert in his native Strumica in November 2019 was sold out and showcased his vast musical experience from across the world.
North Macedonia's Eurovision 2020 participant Vasil Bojan Stoilkovski
YOU was composed by Nevena Neskoska, a Macedonian composer and producer who was born in the city of Ohrid but raised in Chicago. Nevena also contributed to the song's lyrics, alongside co-writers Kalina Neskoska and Alice Schroeder. Music producers and arrangers for the song are Nevena Neskoska, Darko Dimitrov and Lazar Cvetkoski.
Vasil (North Macedonia 2020) on the set of his music video for 'YOU' Natasha Velickovska
The video for YOU was directed by Milena Vitman, recorded and edited by Gjorgi Vacev and produced by Jellmaz Dervishi. The message behind YOU is an invitation for everyone to connect, open up, dance, and celebrate the moment, and the video represents just that message: "It's 7:00 AM, after a crazy night out. You're at a bar choosing what to do next when in walks a person who shows that it takes just one look, one connection, to make a difference and start a beautiful change for the better."
About the feeling of his entry, Vasil adds: "We've all been there. The moment when that unexplainable thing happens and sensations take over you. The choice is yours: let go, put your dancing shoes on, celebrate, and just dance." As the lyrics tell us, "We May only have tonight, hold me tight and let's ignite ... and for the moment I ... just wanna dance with YOU."
Vasil recently participated in the second episode of Eurovision Home Concerts where he sang his 2020 entry alongside a mashup of Helena Paparizou's My Number One and Netta's Toy. The voting between the 2 songs on social media was extraordinarily close, and Vasil was excited by the opportunity that presented.
Of the experience, he said: "Had a blast creating my little heaven with allll the little chacki that mean the most to me, including the very special gift I am holding in my hand. (Given to me by the postcard team on the day of my shoot) Thank you for inviting me! Hope you enjoy the episode!!!"
You can follow Vasil on the following social media platforms:

North Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest
North Macedonia first appeared at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1998. The country previously attempted to join the contest in 1996 but failed to qualify from the pre-selection round. Until 2019, the country participated under the name F.Y.R. Macedonia.

Prior to 2019, North Macedonia's best result was a 12th-place finish with Elena Risteska in 2006. Having qualified from the semi-final round only once between 2008 and 2018, North Macedonia achieved its best result of the 2010s when Tamara Todevska finished in 7th place in the Grand Final after winning the jury vote.

If one team has fewer players than the normal allowed on the field, the opponent plays with the same number of players as the opposing team.
No score keeping nor records.
If one team is clearly dominating a game, the opposing team can put 1-2 extra players in until game is more equal for both teams.
The same team taps off for the 1st and 3rd periods. The other team taps off at the start of the 2nd and 4th periods. Teams switch sides at half time.
Substitutions can be made at any point to keep kids fresh and involved.
All players play at least half of the game. Players must rotate positions.
No throw-ins, only kick-ins are to be taken if the ball goes out of bounds on the sidelines. Opposing team needs to give at least 3 yards space for the inbound pass to take place.
Goal kicks are taken when the attacking team knocks the ball out of bounds across the end line. Opposing team must wait at midfield and not proceed across until the pass is completed.
When a foul occurs, such as a dangerous play, tripping, handling, slide tackling etc., play is stopped to allow the referee or coach to quickly explain the error. Penalty kicks are all indirect (even if within the penalty box) and from the spot of the foul. If a penalty occurs inside the penalty box, the penalty kick is taken from directly outside the box at the point closest to the foul. All fouls should calmly be explained to all players as a learning experience.
Coaches on the field must stay out of players' way, out of the box and clear of the goal.
Keeper/Sweeper role is to be rotated each quarter. A Keeper/Sweeper role is defined as a position that is not 'stuck' in the goal and when the ball is in their defensive half, plays as a traditional goalie with their hands in the box. When the ball goes upfield, they come up and play as a defender all the way up to the circle. They receive passes and play as 'last man back. This allows the team's defenders to attack, while the goalkeeper covers as the last man back. The goalkeeper stays higher up the field than he or she might normally do, and performs the defensive actions of a sweeper by clearing long balls sent to his defensive side and dribbling/passing to his team mates. What he/she shouldn't do is play in his 6 yd box and wait. He is an active player, involved in all aspects of the game.


Sometimes you run out of room or time in your Lord's Day sermon, and so "Monday Morning Pulpit" is a chance to expand upon or reinforce ideas you didn't have a chance to finish during the sermon.
George Mueller (1805 – 1898) was a remarkable man of God who ministered to people, proclaimed the Gospel as an evangelist, shepherded thousands of orphans through his orphanages that he built and sustained, and did it all without ever fundraising or asking for a dime. Most importantly, for our faith, he did it all through an ardent and vibrant prayer life. Mueller experienced living by faith for real world difference.


Just inside the Lion Gate is a royal cemetery known as Grave Circle A. It was excavated in 1876 by Heinrich Schliemann, who came here convinced, from his readings of Homer and other sources, that he would find the grave of Agamemnon as well as much gold. He did find royal graves and many grave goods, including gold objects. Satisfied that he had achieved his goal, he worked here for only 15 weeks and then left. He was wrong about Agamemnon (the graves here are earlier than the time of his rule), but it was still a hugely significant find.

Memories of Alhambra Wraps Up Spain Scenes in Episode 6 as Ratings Goes Back Up to 7.863%
Posted on December 16, 2018 by ockoala
I legit breathed a sigh of relief after nervously hitting play on episode 6 of tvN Sat-Sun drama Memories of Alhambra. If it continued to stay narratively and emotionally limpid I was tempted to cut my losses despite Hyun Bin killing it (pun intended) in his role of Jin Woo. Thank goodness episode 6 righted the ship and not a moment too soon, I now care about Jin Woo's plight other than he is literally running from game death triggering real life death. He also has a fully messed up real life that he needs to deal with and I care about that because we all know he's going to find ways to evade AR zombie assassin Hyung Seok.
Half the shit that happens to him you can see that he contributes to either by arrogance or complicitness so hopefully this wake up call will enable him to reorganize his life properly going forward. Sadly Park Shin Hye is confirmed to be playing the worst written character of her adult acting career, Hee Joo is both an NPC in the game as Emma but also full on plot device in the drama. She's protect Jin Woo from death and takes care of him, that's it. It's such a shame but she's got plenty of great drama roles under her belt for me to revisit so one poorly written role is no big deal.
Episode 6 was spent watching Jin Woo recover either at the hospital or at his Spain residence while evading AR avatar Hyung Seok always ready to battle him. Hee Joo's presence stops any attack after 60 seconds so she's like a shield but this can't go on forever, nor can his attempt to keep the game from turning on by staying asleep through sleeping pills. Jin Woo's current wife and hopefully soon second ex-wife is as nasty as expected and annoying to boot, I hope there's a reason for the drama to even write her in otherwise it's enough that Jin Woo had a bad first marriage. The end of the episode saw Jin Woo leaving Granada as Hee Joo was hoping to spend some special birthday time with him. I do like their friendship, she's the most decent woman in his life right now and maybe the most decent woman he's ever met.

Actually any physical barrier can act as a shield, for example, the glass of the shower stall. He does not need Hee Joo around. I wonder if the game will stall if he closes his eyes, since HS did not appear while JW was sleeping.

Glad you liked ep 6. Unfortunately i didnt feel the same. I dont feel the emotional connection between HJ and JW. I dont get why HJ chooses JW over her own friends and family.
But i do agree that HB is killing it as JW. He was so distraught and i can see his anxiety in ep 6.
candycane on December 17, 2018 at 12:08 AM said:
It's just a simple crush of a naive girl (she may never have dated bcoz she was always working) towards a very handsome, rich and attractive man (like Prince Charming). She may also have misunderstood that JW likes her while he was only using her as a shield in the AR game. I don't think JW has any romantic feeling towards HJ yet although he knows she is a kind person. He even questioned they have only known each other for 2 days in ep 4, how would she have feelings for him? That's why there is no emotional connection between HJ and JW bcoz it is only one way for now.

@candycane.
We are discussing a drama, no need to put an adjective on other viewers~ lets focus on the characters and story only 🙂
I did include is none of the family members concerned about SJ in my previous reply, so that includes grandma too.
I know he is using HJ as a sheild but anything can be a shield, thats why i feel that it was shoved in for HJ-JW interaction. I know its not a hug, JW maybe knows its not, he just wants a sheild. But look at it from HJ's perspective, what would you call his actions then? Its a hug to HJ, a desperate one, and clearly she's affected by it.
On the contrary to your belief, i'm not looking for romance or lovey dovey scenes in MotA. In fact, I think it would do fine if they focus on the game and the mechanics of it. The game is why i'm staying for now, because i find it so mysterious and intriguing.

it's a better episode but it's hard to believe the feeling,
I actually more disappointed since it was a moment when I thought I should cry for the separation, feeling and etc then I left the show with the thought that the editing gets better

I wonder when HJ chose JW over her own friends and family? Only once she chose to leave the birthday party and that's because she had to go to JW since he was leaving Spain. But other than that, there was nothing else. Also, she took care of a very ill jin woo because she has a sense of responsibility towards him and she has started caring for him. Is that wrong to do so?
She refused to leave JW's side for i dont know how long. Her friend had to persuade her into leaving and he had a tough job doing that. Not only after JW said go, did she go.
She didnt have to stay, they are not related, she has real world responsibilities. JW is a big enough, rich enough person that surely has his own support system other than HJ. He didnt even remember HJ nursing him since he was drugged up.
Besides HJ didnt question her missing bro,or shown searching for her bro. Instead we see her nursing JW continuously. Is none of the the family members concerned about SJ? Only JW is the one actively asking about SJ.
Besides, JW choose to leave her without telling and she ran after him. Yes JW is a good looking guy, but personality wise HJ can do better.
Maybe with the upcoming eps my thoughts on HJ-JW will change, but up to ep 6, i'm not feeling it. Even the hug scene in ep 5 seemed forced in just to have some JW-HJ interaction.
I like the repo between JW and HJ's sister though. She's so sassy and always make JW bewildered by her comebacks. Haha
@Katakwasabi – I am not siding with HJ (coz I don't agree with Korean culture), but why don't you ask Grandma the same question – "HALMONI, why aren't you concern about SJ?" Please stop harrassing poor HJ, she was hit by the arrow of Cupid and now she is love-struck and is lost…
and oh, that hug scene in ep 5? He wanted to use her as a shield in the AR game, do you really think he wants to hug her? You are just as naive as HJ. If you want to watch some lovey-dovey romantic scenes, you are in the wrong drama, at least for now…

The earlier episodes made me excited while boyfriend/encounter actually bored me but now it's the opposite. This show didn't exactly pan out the way I was hoping it would. Female lead is too weak.
Anyways dropping this show. Sky castle seems interesting. I'll pick that one up.
candycane on December 17, 2018 at 1:37 AM said:
why do you have to mention BF here?
tina on December 17, 2018 at 2:59 AM said:
here we go again dissing MOA to praise boyfriend. Well to each it's own but to me, i love PBG but his acting in boyfriend is so weak his creepy smile is such a turn off and let me not speak deeply about PBG and SHG not matching each other as a love interest lol. Anyway MOA is fun and i'm curious how JW will get himself out of this messy game.
GoEun on December 17, 2018 at 7:23 PM said:
I started with Boyfriend but now drop it because it's not going anywhere. The leads has no chemistry. Song Hye Kyo and Park Bo Gum are lacking in their performance so it's getting boring.
I'm now addicted to Memories of Alhambra because every episodes keep me waiting for the next to air. The performance from Hyun Bin is on point. MOA all the way and second is Sky Castle.

I didn't finish this episode yet, but I love the discussions between the little sister and Jin Woo. She's really funny, she said all she thinks 😀

Yes i think that too jinwoo and minjoo so funny in conversation
Stardust on December 17, 2018 at 5:14 AM said:
I feel terrified for Jin woo
Half the time I think he think he himself is going insane or deranged because I haven't heard him question what's wrong with the AR game.
Then again, seeing all these coming at him all at once I guess he doesn't have the right mind to think of anything than other "wtf I need to run to save my life"
Romance is hardly something he will or should think about so I get him getting away from her. (Although I don't get why she's crying) My first thought would be to get away from Granada if I'm him. Perhaps the game stops (apparently not from ep7 trailers) who cares abt romance at this point – because I think he's questioning whether he has mental illness already.
I find the directing good and the ost pretty decent too – I like how the suspense music gets on because it's damn terrifying. Hyun Bin is acting superbly in the role – In the hands of a lesser actor, it would have been unbelievable or ridiculous but he made it real and I'm vested in his arc esp since on paper his character is quite a sneaky jerk.
I don't know abt PSY – it's not a good role or good acting so either way she got the short end of the stick. I really hope she gets more meat because this writer does write good female roles so I think it's because we haven't seen it yet. Regardless it's a good choice to showcase Jin woo because it works – im thinking Emma might be the complete opposite of the female lead so that's why she's kept so naive because the real bad buy is Emma since she play the memories of A haha who knows regardless it's a fun ride with this drama that's why it's crack for some
Scar99 on December 19, 2018 at 10:06 AM said:
Agree with you to the teeth, about the characters Park Shin Hye is playing in this drama. A naive HJ and a "surprising assertive/bad ass Emma(?!) ".Dying to see it, but I am patiently waiting. Park Shin Hye is acting on point, as well as the others casts! It is indeed, an unique and out of this world drama, no question about, and can not be compare with any other. After this drama, I am sure many dramas viewers will no longer be satisfy with the typical "rice and bean" style of drama.
Sayari on December 17, 2018 at 6:47 AM said:
Heh. How could you change so drastically from having no connection at all to suddenly care. Jin Woo has been becoming deranged for a few episodes already. So u felt nothing for him in Ep5 and suddenly felt for him in Ep6?
I have no problem in terms of connecting with Jin Woo's character from the beginning but this week's episodes were a bit disappointing. Nothing much happen. And the story is not smooth and executed well either, compared to the earlier episodes. I am quite irritated with Park Shin Hye. Having thick make up with blusher all the time. She cant seem to make proper expression. And we are left with questions remained unaswered. I was impressed with how creative this drama is in the beginning, but now it starts to lose steam and some of its magic.
Ski on December 17, 2018 at 7:07 AM said:
I second you here.
Passerby on December 17, 2018 at 7:45 AM said:
I think Park Shin Hye look very nice with the blush and full makeup on. Though her acting is lacking but she does fit the role of HJ.
I agree should focused on the romance later because I more interested in JW playing the AR game. Why do I have a feeling JW's professor is on to something so as Pro Cha. Really enjoyed MOA and it's story.
prettyautumn on December 17, 2018 at 12:35 PM said:
Right. It's a product placement drama. Even after waking up PSH has perfect makeup and hair. Always the bright pink lipstick too. Such a downgrade from Doctors. More than looks, I'm more irritated by her character. She had birthday but insisted on staying next to Jinwoo. When Jinwoo ditched Alhambra, she ran to the station and started AGAIN crying, like WHY?? Why would you cry for someone who doesn't care about you?? And the screaming when she insisted on driving him to the antique shop. Terrible acting there, like was she on the verge of crying or what? I don't understand why Song Jae Jung is making her cry on EVERY SINGLE EPISODE GODTDAMN IT'S IRRITATING AS HELL. I should have known that the very first crying after she got yelled at Jinwoo that that's all her character is going to do. And imo, her crying acting looks very bad in this drama, it's so fake looking. Looks like all she's going to be in this drama is a stupid love interest whose sister is more street smart and her little brother is a programmer genius while she's… gullible fool who falls in love easily but apparently hasn't dated even once in her life because supposedly she had to work very hard to earn money for her family but life hasn't apparently hardened her enough that she's still dumb. Also, the Ex-wife cries and is super indecisive, the second ex-wife is a rude bitch. That's all the female characters in this drama are. And not even ONE female engineer or programmer. Song Jae Jung is a big disappointment. It's 2018, you can't possibly think that you can get away by writing female characters like that, especially to a female majority audience. Also, funny how PSH said that she chose this drama because it's different from all her other characters and has a social message. Laughable. She's like a Cha Eun Sang 2 here, crying all the time with that annoying mouth half open droopy brows expression, except even CES had more character than Hee Joo, and I have yet to see the social message in this. All I see is an interesting concept that's losing its steam very fast because of an incompetent writer. I can't decide who is a worse writer, SJJ or KES. Why the hell did PSH choose this? Did HB convince her or did she get so much money that she didn't care or what? Does she have no ambition?
Dreams on December 17, 2018 at 2:23 PM said:
I didn't know Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye are close friends to the point where he can convince her to play the role. From what I've heard is she chose this project because she wanna work with him. It's very funny how most people tends to put the blamed on him all the time.
But got to admit her role is very weak and her acting is not helping.
yeah, why not even one female engineer? maybe Korean high-tech companies only hire men? LOL. The only female character I like so far is Min Joo, she is spunky and cute. Maybe Emma will be more interesting (as I don't want to give up hope on PSH yet)… but so far, her performance is disappointing. HJ's character is poorly written, and PSH's crying is annoying (the first ex-wife's crying is more tolerable as compared).

I've noticed every drama psh is in there's always people criticizing her. I think she's doing an amazing job. I really enjoy this drama and chemistry between her and hyun bin. Can't wait to see how their romance developed.
NileRose on December 17, 2018 at 7:50 AM said:
I always adabted to these reviews why are they blaming the actresses bcz I don't see writers who are mostly female usually they don't write female centeric characters .
I love MOH and am enjoying the story and chemistry .
sky on December 17, 2018 at 10:19 AM said:
@Moi yeah lol, it seems like people like to hate on her. Also, it baffles me when people say that her role has little or no significance just because everything she has done till now is only related to jin woo, like her taking care of him, or feeling sad for him. Does that mean, that loving someone is not important or it makes her look bad or something? Like when I see these scenes they are as much important to me as the game lol, so I don't get these reactions. He Joo has also been taking care of her siblings from younger years so she seems to be a very sensible person, so I don't see this as one of her worst roles, as it's being told here. Hmm, to each their own.
Luna on December 17, 2018 at 3:52 PM said:
I think because people have this notion that strong female characters = fierce, spunky, cold etc. I have no problem with Heejoo's character but I do wish she has something more to do than being a love interest or caretaker. Really do hope that once the game part settles in, Emma will change that.
Allie on December 17, 2018 at 7:49 AM said:
I don't care how many people will diss this drama or the genre, all I know is Hyun Bin is one heck of a professional actor. He sold me with all the emotions he deliver for JW's character. I have never felt so deeply inlove with a drama character. Love Memories of Alhambra so much.
Misty on December 17, 2018 at 8:57 AM said:
I would love to get MOA a shot because I love sci-fi film and love Park Shin Hye. But sorry Hyun Bin is ugly and he suck at acting so nah. This guy look so scary and cruel. Every time he plays that type of genre, he makes the character even more scary and unattractive. His eyes is so evil looking but I don't know how people still find him handsome and cute. If only the actor chosen is offered to actor like Lee Min Ho, Song Joong Ki, Ji Chang Wook, Gong Yoo, and Kim Soo Hyun this drama would be daebak because those are professional actors who really are super charming. Well that's my opinion so don't bash.
Good luck Park Shin Hye but sorry I have to skip this one.
LMH cannot emote. This is my opinion. I think HB does a fine job, JW is scared as hell now so he actually got you convinced with his acting 😉
Palai on December 17, 2018 at 9:52 AM said:
Well off all the actors you listed the only one I find that is a capable actor is Gong Yoo. He is a great actor so if he were to take this role I'm agree.
Lol it's your opinion but I don't find any of your bias attractive or superior in the acting field except Gong Yoo. Hyun Bin is a capable actor and he is more than perfect fit for this role. Go Hyun Bin you're perfect and talented.
Darla on December 17, 2018 at 10:08 AM said:
If this drama is a different actor I bet the rating would be on top. Sorry Hyun Bin is a no for me too. He is overrated and I also don't find him handsome or talented.
How much are you willing to bet? A cable drama with over 6% rating is considered quite good, plus it is sold on Netflix so viewership will be higher than local K-ratings. Among all the cable dramas airing now, MOA is ranked in the middle. You just want to bash HB with this "what if" crap which will never happen, forget the idea of a different actor because I bet you cannot even understand the storyline. LOL. The writing of the main plot (AR gaming) is the pearl of this drama, not any romance that some of you are craving for. HB cannot single-handedly bring up the rating nor can he lower it. It is the story we are following.
Tiani on December 17, 2018 at 8:12 PM said:
Its true tho, if gong yoo taking the role the rating would be on top. I found this drama is good dont understand why the rating just like 7%. Maybe korean not really into HB, If its Gong yoo, he will beat PBG easily as the most buzzworthy actor.
Calla on December 17, 2018 at 9:09 PM said:
When many film critics praise Hyun Bin for his talent and charismatic acting while these jealous oppa fan girls try to belittle him by comparing him to their pretty face oppa. Make me realize how cool and attractive he is to have all these childish hater going crazy all over the place. Not surprising because I see these kind of comments about him in every forums and blog. Lol Hyun Bin slaying this role making jealous people wish it's their oppa.
Jiyana on December 17, 2018 at 8:49 PM said:
I don't understand the diss for Hyun Bin.
Personally find him more charismatic than the Hallyu actors listed up there.
If this drama is offered to your bias I probably won't watch too because I can't seem to dig any of those professional and handsome men of yours. Only Gong Yoo I acknowledge that is a great actor and is attractive. You degrading Hyun Bin to make your bias cool how pathetic. I'm glad Hyun Bin is not those pretty flower boys that people are drooling over. He is attractive in his own way and is very charismatic.
Sd on December 18, 2018 at 1:25 AM said:
Wow – LMH is my personal bias but he has nothing on Hyun Bin for this role. Neither does Goo yoo for this matter
The last thing one should diss about this drama is Hyun Bin- his acting and god forbid his looks.
If you think he's ugly … I don't know, we don't belong to the same human species because nowhere in human history will someone like that be called ugly.
SnowQueen on December 18, 2018 at 6:28 PM said:
All your pretty boys may have the visual but don't have the acting chops. Only Gong Yoo is a total package.
To each their own I don't find any of them super handsome. Their all more to the cute category. So to compare them with Hyun Bin's acting abilities is an act of desperation attention. Hyun Bin is a total package with look and talents. If you're too bitter then go cry to the writer and production for not choosing your pretty oppas for this role… More like a jealous fan who's insecure to see someone better than her pretty boys. I could careless if Korean people love Hyun Bin or not because I usually don't find those super popular oppas attractive anyway. Memories of Alhambra wouldn't be this good if it's not Hyun Bin. He brought Jin Woo's character to life and that's the magic that happen in Memories of Alhambra. So annoyed with these kind of ignorant people. Can't you just wait until your bias has a project of their own to brag about.
Adal on December 17, 2018 at 12:00 PM said:
The most troubling thing about episode 6 is that Hee Joo hasn't heard from her brother in all this while, yet she is less concerned about her brother's disappearance than she is of a wealthy stranger who is travelling out of country. I guess she's halfway in love with Jin Woo, but still, as a caregiver who has spent most of her life looking out for and taking care of her younger siblings, she should be more concerned about her brother's disapperance than she is letting on. Plus, no hate on PSH, but her constant crying scenes make her look very weak. It might be the writing, but I feel that a stronger performance from the lead actresses is called for. So far, it feels that PSH is just playing second fiddle or a supporting role to Jin Woo's character. TBH, even the second lead male and his wife have a stronger screen presence than PSH's candy character at this point. I still love the drama and find it intruiging, but I wish the writer will tighten up the loose ends and delve more into the AR game, and leave off romance til the latter part of the drama, if at all. I've said this before, but this is one drama that doesn't need romance. The AR parts and the ethical questions it brings up are interesting enough, if done right, to keep a viewer entertained. If you kill a person in alternate reality but he dies in real life are you liable to be charged with murder or manslaughter?
Exactly. I find it very troubling that she's not worried for her own brother as much. Remember, Se Joo doesn't even return calls? If I were his sister, I'd already contacted the police. But she ran to the rain station because of a rich dick that was rude to her most of the time, scammed her and then had the audacity to buy a bouquet of roses and leave without letting her know. I see no damn chemistry between PSH and HB and PSH's character is a weak candy. I can't believe that in 2018 I actually had to see the ridiculousness of this; all the female characters are bloody weak. None of them are programmers, game developers, marketing managers etc. All of them revolve around ONE dick
Marina on December 17, 2018 at 2:36 PM said:
Heh. Good point. It's 2018 and Kdrama's female leads are so timid. Even the ones who grew up in free Europe. I guess you can take girl out of Korea but you can't take Korea out of the girl. Most drama writers are females, shame on them for propping up rigid Korean social system of seniority and misogyny. I don't feel any sympathy for Korean women, while watching dramas, it looks like they oppress (mothers-in law, stepmoms, even real mothers, love rivals, co-workers, opinionated ahgummas) and even attack other women ( school bullying) as much as men, if not worse.
I like this episode. There were more interactions between HB and PSH.
Also, the game and its weapon shop look cool.
Hopefully next week we will see more developments with the game.

If you're following the drama, you'll realize that MOA and Goblin are very different dramas. Just because they both use swords in no way makes them similar, otherwise you can argue that every drama that uses swords is like Goblin. MOA is more similar to W in terms of plot.

I read blogs, websites and the various forum sites during the evening hours. I can keep one eye on a TV program, if it is worth seeing, and one eye on the monitor to read stuff. And, boy, there is a lot of stuff out there.
Much of what I read pertains to a fulltime RV lifestyle, since that is of particular interest to me as a fellow fulltimer. I am always interested in people, their opinions, their particular outlook on FT living, the thoughts for their future, and how they are holding up in these tough economic times we are in.

Some have given up their fulltime dream even before it got completely started and some have left the fulltime lifestyle after several years to settle back into a stix-n-brix. Some others are hanging onto their dream of this lifestyle in hopes of better times ahead.
Seems to me in most all of the stuff I've read, the folks are very realistic about their options. They seem to be content to forge ahead and follow their plan. The freedom of living a life in an RV with wheels to move them about is still of great importance to them. It is to us, as well.
A main street in Avila Beach with shops and restaurants.
I can only speak for our situation and it may be different from other fulltimer's goals and dreams. Like so many others, we've experienced diminished savings due to the recent recession and stock market disaster. The economic climate begs the question…."what is this lifestyle worth?" What is it worth to you to be able to keep going as you've been doing? How much are you willing to change to hold onto your dream? What can you give up? That is…of course….if any change is needed at all. There are many RVer's with good pensions, savings and retirement benefits to carry them forward, which is all good. What to do, then, if a change is needed?
Workamping is an option a lot of people use as a way of meeting financial needs. The younger set of fulltimer's I read about are using workamping to keep them afloat. Volunteer positions at state and national parks can get you a free campsite in exchange for your work. This helps with the rent budget. If you stay in one location to be a workamper or a campground volunteer you aren't driving around burning up fuel, which is a savings.
Another beach view at Avila and many people enjoying the sunshine.
But what about the rest of it? Most of the fulltime RVer's who are under the normal retirement age were tired of the rat race involved with a 40-hour work week. They searched out a new lifestyle. Perhaps it is a healthier lifestyle for themselves. A lifestyle that allows them to see the country while they follow a dream.
That can come with a price which is where my post title "What Is It Worth?" comes from. If you have elected to bail out early on the career path (as we did) there may be some compromise to be made at some point. In our case, in order to not have to go out and work for earned income, it means we rarely go out to a sit-down restaurant for a meal. We like to reserve that money for times when we meet a fellow blogger, or friends or family and go out for a meal. We have a very, very small entertainment budget, we don't buy a lot of new tech-gadgets or gizmos (OK…NONE), we will drive our present car for many years, and we do not go to high-end RV parks as they are too expensive for our budget.

If you've been used to playing golf twice a week, going out for restaurant meals 4 to 5 times a week, buying every new gadget and gizmo that comes out, going to the movies often, going to live concerts or theater productions, having his and hers vehicles in your parking spot, and staying on top of the fashion trends, are you willing to give any of this up? Would you be willing to put an end to any of these things in order to continue and maintain your fulltime lifestyle? Those can be some big decisions if any of those expenditures are very important to you.
If you are just struggling to put food on the table, pay your vehicle insurance, pay for medical insurance, and buy life's necessities while you are living this dream, again, is it worth it? The stress of a difficult work week may now be replaced by the stress of keeping the dream together. This is a very tough decision that many people are facing right now. I am really wondering how it will all play out. Are any of them going to have to put the dream aside and settle down with a full-time job again? There is a high unemployment rate out there and good jobs may be difficult to find. Most of us with a fulltime RV dream have to compromise somewhere with something in these tough times. I am cheering on each and every fulltimer out there, as I sincerely hope you can hold on during these tough times.

Fulltime RV living isn't stress free or problem free, but it certainly has some great benefits that may, or may not be, tangible. I remember very well a blog post written by Al of the Bayfield Bunch several months ago. Part of what he wrote had to do with a "sack full of problems". I can't quote him directly but it was something about when we live in the stix-and-brix world we may have a sack full of problems to deal with relating to that home. If we move into an RV fulltime we exchange the previous sack of problems for another sack of problems. We still have a sack of problems, but it is just a different sack. Anyway, I thought it was a great post and I think about it often when we are faced with some problem or another.
The same theory can go along with being in the working world. We may have hated our corporate, or 40-hour plus workweek and decided to chuck it all, but we still have to find some sort of income to just be able to survive. That's where I ask myself the question, "Is It Worth It?" For us, personally, the scrimping, cutting corners, being thrifty, having great limits on all spending is completely worth it.
NOTE: This post was intended to explain our philosophy about the fulltime lifestyle, the give and take of it, and is in no way intended to reflect an opinion on other people's choices.
This is a well-written and thought-provoking post. Each of us have our own take on it, but you are pretty much right on with the majority, would be my bet.
I took an early retirement a long time ago, and lived in my own gypsy world for many years. Even with 5 years spent in a stix & brix in North Carolina, I still traveled extensively. But I sure gave up the entertainment, eating out, fashion, and all the rest. I am totally happy (although not exactly content with my current status of sitting and waiting) with my decision to retire early. I'm also totally happy doing without what I gave up a long time ago.
I enjoyed reading your thoughts. They certainly apply to our lifestyle and I could not help think that this same thought process must be used in other lifestyles when times are tough. Indeed, if you find yourself out of work and living in a house that perhaps was too expensive even when you had work, you now must make some hard decisions.
We must all take stock of what we chose to do to live the way we would like too. Not facing reality and choosing wisely will have potentially life changing results.
I always like to tell my kids that good decisions tend to lead to more good decisions and vice verse.
As I see it, we have to live somewhere. My thought is, I want to have a different view out my window, often. No, I don't want to travel every day, or even once a week, but perhaps once every month or so.
We don't favor fancy resturants, or play golf, or have other expensive hobbies. In fact, for the last several years, our recreation has been to go out in our RV.
So making the move to fulltiming made sense to us, and in fact, is proving cheaper than past living in a rented condo.
We are still working full time, living in a nice RV park in the same general area we have lived in for 20 years. My wife will retire soon, with a small pension, I will probably keep working (internet based) for a long time, but we love living in our RV.
I maintain a strict budget, and know where all the dollars go. It only has to be as expensive as you make it, you just trade the fixed foundation for one on wheels.
Margie, this was an awesome post - we completely agree with you. When we made the decision to look into this and perhaps pursue it, we had many friends who could not possibly imagine being without their big houses. We can. My work stresses are so big that it is a no brainer for us. We cannot wait to start our new lifestyle, and by the way, we have great support from our 2 boys and family towards our decision. We are also aware that our new 'home' ( the 5th W ) will have its' own upkeep and problems - that is just life!
My husband retired at 48 years old and he has not looked back. Sometimes though I think he works harder now than at his former job. We are very happy with our life. The only thing better would be winters in the South, but it is nice at home too.
Margie, I continue to be impressed with the quality of your blog - the thoughtfulness in your posts and your pictures. Is it worth it? This is a question John and I are continuously asking ourselves. So far, it has been worth it to be campground hosts as a way to explore Central Coast California while we try to relocate to the area. This was our dream when we set out over a year ago. It continues to be our dream to find work and a community that we will love in CCC. We're also become increasing more open to whatever might be delivered to us from the universe.
I say it is 'so worth it'.just a different sack of troubles is all!..we have a few more years of working for a living..but we will be one of those younger fulltimers who will be working to keep the budget under control...at least part time anyway!...life is short..sometimes if you wait until you can afford it..you would never do it!..be it having children or selling everything and hitting the road..as for giving up things..I am so with you on that one..even now...when I go shopping?..the only things I will buy will be items that can come with us!
once again a great post, Margie!!
We brought the sack with us but have learned so many great lessons in these 6 years that we would never give up this lifestyle. Staying out here through the good and bad times for us has been completely worth it.
Love your post and REALLY LOVE THE NEW PHOTO!
Great post, Margie, and judging by the thoughtful comments left so far, you have certainly made everyone sit back and think a bit about priorities and lifestyles. As for giving up things, I'd have no problem at all with most of what you've done - except for the gadgets and gizmos. Gotta have those no matter what!!
Not only did you write an excellent blog today, Margie, but you have received excellent comments. Good job sparking the discussion!
I know we aren't full timing...yet....but someday..when we do..I think it will be so refreshing not having these huge financial burdens hanging over our heads..ie..the house..the upkeep..the utilities...I know Walker could workcamp with the best of them.
We're with you all the way, Margie! Our full-time lifestyle had to change a couple of years ago, but not because of finances. Medical situations kept us in one location for two years. But in thoe two years we got a wonderful opporetunity to buy a used park trailer for our lot in Benson, and that has been splendid. Of course, that put a couple of new problems in our sack, but so what?
Margie ~ I like the topic of your post and you did a great job of explaining your philosophy. Life is full of trade-offs, regardless of what type of lifestyle you are living. We, too, have given up eating out in our attempt at frugal living. The trade-off is that we have to cook more, but it's not so bad because we have the time and enjoy it. And what we've gained on top of it is a more healthy lifestyle. I prefer to focus on what I've gained rather than what I've given up, because in my estimate, there are a heck of a lot more gains.
To us it is well worth it. We are "The Frugal Travelers" for a reason. We really are very frugal, and I think we have seen and been a lot of places we could not have gone to before selling our home and grounds. Like you, we visit very few expensive RV parks or places to eat. I do keep us on a very strict budget. So far, it works for us.
This was a very thoughtful and interesting post. We are only 49 days from our early "retirement" for many of the same reaswon you mention. It gives me great comfort to read your words. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Yes, to me it is worth it. We aren't at SS age yet, so our budget is quite tight. I do miss having money to spend freely, but I would not want to return to a house and a 40-50 hour week job to have that extra money. I want a new camera and in the past I would just go buy one...but now I have to decide, do I want to put that money towards a camera or diesel fuel for the next trip. So, I'll be keeping my current camera because I would rather have that next trip.
Great post! When I look at our meager budget, where we are still paying mortgage, taxes, insurance, heat and upkeep on the house PLUS we already own the motorhome and pay on that too, plus upkeep, insurance and fuel. Working on a tight budget now helps us to know we will do fine later at retirement level, when we sell the house to full time it. Steve's pension will be almost the same as his take home pay now.

This is a historical page and is no longer maintained. Read more information about historical pages and sites hosted by the university.
In June, Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 11 (SB11), often referred to as the "Campus Carry" bill. This bill amends current law by authorizing holders of concealed handgun licenses (CHLs) to carry concealed handguns in the buildings of institutions of higher education. The law takes effect Aug. 1, 2016.
Key provisions of the law include the following.
The law allows only holders of CHLs licenses to carry concealed handguns. Long guns (e.g., rifles and shotguns) are not permitted and it is illegal for anyone to openly carry any type of firearm in university buildings. Holders of CHLs must be at least 21 years old and complete an approved training course.
University presidents may adopt rules that address the carrying of concealed handguns on their campuses, but the law requires that they consult with students, faculty and staff prior to developing rules.
Rules developed by a president may specify certain campus locations as exclusion zones where concealed handguns are not allowed. However, the law states that exclusion zones may not "generally prohibit or have the effect of generally prohibiting" campus carry by CHL holders.
Final rules for implementation must be widely publicized and appropriate signage posted.
The full text of the bill may be found at http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/84R/billtext/html/SB00011F.htm.
The University of Texas System Chancellor William McRaven has asked all campuses in the UT System to develop working groups to solicit input from students, faculty, staff and other constituents and assist presidents to develop rules for their campuses.
The chancellor has also formed a UT System working group led by David E. Daniel, Ph.D., deputy chancellor. UTHealth President Giuseppe N. Colasurdo, M.D., has named George M. Stancel, Ph.D., executive vice president for Academic and Research Affairs, to represent UTHealth on the System working group and to chair our campus working group. The System working group has already begun weekly meetings via teleconference.
By Dec. 4, 2015, presidents will submit preliminary campus plans to System leadership. After considering System feedback, presidents will submit final plans by Dec. 18, 2015. In February 2016, the Board of Regents will review campus plans, which the Board may amend by a two-thirds vote. Final implementation must then be completed by Aug. 1, 2016.
Stancel is assembling the UTHealth working group to develop recommendations for Colasurdo. Membership will include representatives from the Inter-Faculty Council (IFC), Student InterCouncil (SIC), the Classified Staff Council (CSC), the University of Texas Police Department at Houston, Environmental Health and Safety and other university offices. The composition of the working group will be posted in the Safety & Security section of Inside UTHealth, the university's campus-wide intranet. The UTHealth working group will be in close communication with the Texas Medical Center, Harris Health System, the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System and other affiliates to coordinate planning.
Beginning next week, the Safety & Security section of Inside UTHealth will contain periodic updates from the UT System and UTHealth working groups, and list of FAQs.
As part of each "Campus Carry" update provided on the intranet, students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to submit comments, including support and suggestions for implementing campus carry provisions as well as suggestions for exclusion zones. Town Hall meetings have also been scheduled to receive UTHealth community feedback.


Hello everyone, I'm Coach Liao. Today, I will show you how to play slow drop shots.
Slow drop shots involve hitting an opponent's clear to the back of your side of the court downwards to the front of your opponent's side of the court. The swing when playing a drop is similar to when we play a high clear, so a high quality slow drop shot can deceive your opponent.


In a previous post, I talked about some of the research that indicates flowers are mood-enhancers. In the post, I write about how more hospitals are cultivating rehabilitative gardens as part of their horticultural therapy programs.
Since this previous post, Spring sprung upon us and we learned that the previous owners of our humble homestead had green thumb. (We confirmed this with the neighbors.) Just when we were beginning to wonder how we could include more flowers into our home and work spaces on a daily basis, everything outdoors started blooming. We learned we have more than one variety and color of rose, we have several peonies, and what we believe to be rhododendrons.
We also have several species of grass and weed, as well as creeping vines and reaching bushes. We have thistles, reeds, and ferns. Even the desiccated daisies I pulled out of the planters have risen anew. It's really quite astounding what has come forth from the rich, rocky soil.
Knowing that we have a responsibility to our pets, we petitioned some friends and coworkers to help us identify the plants on our property. We even have some avid gardeners coming by this weekend to do a walk-around of the property so we can take pictures and make notes. We don't want our goats filling their bellies with lethal would-be rhododendrons.
In the previous article, I summarized relevant research on why flowers can be so powerful in the rehabilitative process and some of our own anecdotal evidence on why flowers are helpful. Mood-boosting qualities aside, there is something to be send about the meditative and aerobic qualities of tending to both indoor and outdoor gardens. Whether you're physically able to get out in the roughage and yank weeds or till soil, or if you select potted plants you keep indoors and on the patio, tending to flowers, bushes, and edibles can be a rehabilitative process.
There are many options for including flowers-fresh or faux-into your life. Below is just a short list, but you can get creative and branch out.
Buy fresh clippings from your local farmer's market.
Buy faux florals from hobby shops or interior decoration stores.
Buy some seeds to plant in a biodegradable carton and pot or plant them when they come to sprout.
Prune existing outdoor or indoor plants and save the blooms or cuttings in a decorative vase or simple mug.
Plant a tree in honor of a rehabilitative milestone.
Volunteer at a local garden or nursery.
Another benefit of incorporating flowers into your rehabilitative space is that it enhances mood not just for the person trying to cultivate wellness in time of illness, injury, or trauma, but it also benefits the caregiver and other family members, friends, and visitors. These positive effects can supplement and support the rehabilitative journey for everyone. The effects are reciprocal and cyclical, and in my opinion, can even set the stage for more positive interactions, which aids the journey to healing and health. In many ways. it is like a self-fulfilling prophecy-with maybe an ounce of placebo effect. If we program our minds to the idea that flowers can and do enhance mood will positively influence our interactions with others, then they may very well just do that.
There is now even an app for that! Find Flowerchecker in your app store.

Dylan Windler is one of only five players in the nation averaging at least 19 points and 10 rebounds.
For the second time in three years, Belmont men's basketball has a player who is a finalist for the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award.
Dylan Windler, a 6-foot-8 senior, made the final 10 candidates list released Wednesday by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Tennessee's Admiral Schofield is also a finalist.
Windler will lead Belmont (17-4, 8-2 OVC) against host Eastern Kentucky (10-13, 3-7) on Thursday (6:30 p.m.).
In 2016-17, Belmont's Evan Bradds was a finalist for the award.
Windler is one of just five NCAA Division I players averaging at least 19.0 points and 10 rebounds per game. He currently averages 19.3 points and 10.1 rebounds.
He has 28 career double-doubles, including four this season with 30 or more points.
Windler has been a part of 84 victories in his three-plus seasons, including Power 5 wins over UCLA, Georgia and Vanderbilt.
He ranks eighth on the school's NCAA Division I-era career scoring list with 1,391 points.
Bradds, who is now on the Boston Celtics coaching staff, averaged 20.0 points and 8.4 rebounds his senior year.
He also has 28 career double-doubles and is Belmont's NCAA Division I era career scoring leader with 1,921 points.
In March, five finalists will be presented to Erving and the Hall of Fame's selection committee and the 2019 winner of the Julius Erving Award will be presented at the College Basketball Awards in Los Angeles on April 12.
Joining Windler and Schofield on the list: Rui Hachimura, Gonzaga; Marial Shayok, Iowa State; Keldon Johnson, Kentucky; Charles Matthews, Michigan; Caleb Martin, Nevada; Tres Tinkle, Oregon State; KZ Okpala, Stanford; and De'Andre Hunter, Virginia.
Not only did Lipscomb extend its win streak to the longest in its NCAA Division I-era history by crushing North Florida 92-55 Wednesday night, the Bisons set the stage for another big accomplishment on Saturday.
The victory over the Ospreys was Lipscomb's 10th straight. It matched the win streak the Bisons put together in in 2000-01 the year before they became a full-fledged NCAA Division I program.
It also was the 19th win of the season with only four losses. One more victory will mark the third consecutive year Lipscomb has had 20 wins.
That would be the most consecutive 20-win seasons since the Bisons posted 17 straight from 1984-2001, 16 which came under legendary coach Don Meyer and two under coach Scott Sanderson.
The Bisons return to Allen Arena on Saturday to play Jacksonville at 4 p.m. They beat Jacksonville 77-74 on Jan. 5 in their first Atlantic Sun Conference game.
Jacksonville improved to 11-4, 4-6 Wednesday by beating Kennesaw State 82-73.
Lipscomb, which received Associated Press Top 25 votes this week, also stretched its win streak over conference opponents to 18 games back to last season.
The 37-point win over North Florida was Lipscomb's biggest in its A-Sun history.
The Bisons have won their last four conference games by an average margin of 25.5 points.
Garrison Mathews, a senior from Franklin, was named the A-Sun player of the week this week for the 12th time in his career and the sixth time this season.
He has averaged 25.0 points over the last six games.
Belmont women's basketball senior Darby Maggard is closing in on the top 10 NCAA Division I all-time 3-point leaders.
Maggard has 384 career 3-pointers heading into Thursday's game at Eastern Kentucky (4 p.m.).
She is currently 13th on the all-time list. Tied for 11th is Dawn Evans (James Madison, 2008-11) and Shoni Schimmel (Louisville, 2011-14) with 387. At 10th is Jaleesa Ross (Fresno State, 2008-11) with 389.
Maggard is averaging 3.2 3-pointers per game, which is ranked 18th nationally.
She also needs nine more 3s to set the OVC record, currently held by Heather Butler (UT-Martin, 2011-14) at 392.
Lipscomb and Belmont are among five men's basketball teams from Tennessee ranked in the top 100 in the NCAA's NET ranking (which replaced the RPI) through Wednesday's games.
Lipscomb is No. 32 and Belmont is No. 63.
The other teams are No. 4 Tennessee, No. 65 East Tennessee State and No. 69 Memphis.

India clears plan to make AK-203 assault rifles with Russia
Other News Materials 6 December 2021 13:57 (UTC +04:00)
India and Russia are putting the finishing touches to agreements in defence, trade, space, technology and energy that are expected to be signed during the annual summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Vladimir Putin on December 6.
Ahead of Putin's day-long visit, the Indian government cleared a plan for the joint production of more than 500,000 AK-203 assault rifles with Russia to boost self-reliance in defence manufacturing, officials familiar with the matter said on Saturday.
The annual summit – which has been held since 2000 – will be preceded by meetings between defence minister Rajnath Singh and his Russian counterpart Sergey Shoigu and external affairs minister S Jaishankar and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov, and the inaugural 2+2 dialogue of the defence and foreign ministers.
The two sides are looking forward to intense engagement on issues ranging from ways to deepen bilateral cooperation in trade, connectivity and energy to regional security concerns, such as the situation in Afghanistan, people familiar with planning for the summit said on condition of anonymity.

If You Go Down to the Woods Today
By Paul White
On a cool June evening whilst walking through meadows close to a forest in Romania I had a brief but wonderful encounter with a bear family. The mother was foraging for food with her two cubs, slowly but purposely moving through the grass, eventually disappearing into the forest at the base of a mountain. These encounters are rare in Europe, although your best chances of seeing a bear are in Romania which boasts the largest population within the European Union.
So how many bears are there in Romania? Well this is a topical debate at the moment and is presently under review in the Romanian parliament. The figures are disputed and vary depending on who you talk to. The official estimates are over 6,000 individuals but conservationists believe that the method for counting bears is flawed and numbers are being exaggerated to support a return of hunting quotas.
In 2016 Romania unexpectedly called for a complete hunting ban on all large predators including bears, wolves and lynx. Although this ban was largely welcomed, the powerful and influential hunting lobby were not pleased, as hunters from all over the world were paying thousands of Euros to hunt bears in Romania.
Conservationists believe that the perceived rise in bear conflicts with humans are being used as an excuse to overturn the ban, but have pointed out that these conflicts also occurred when hunting was widespread. Hunters want to shoot large bears as they make the best trophies, but these large dominant males are the ones that naturally control the bear population. Rather than relying on hunting as the main measure to reduce conflict, WWF Romania insists that other methods should be deployed such as the use of electric fences, reduction of attractants, use of bear proof bins and specialised dogs.
Whatever the outcome it is important for the authorities to understand that these bears are unique in Europe and could attract far more sustainable forms of income in the long term. A bear can only be shot once by a hunter, but can be shot hundreds of times by a camera held by fee paying tourists. For me it is sad that these beautiful animals are viewed as commodities and decisions are being debated as to how many will be allowed to live. I just hope that the bear cubs I saw playing in the meadow will survive long enough to have cubs of their own and do not live in fear of the gun.
