6 Years Blogging
My first blog post was in the 19th of February 2005, and here I am celebrating my 6th blogging anniversary today.
Unordered Notes on Jan25
I am one of those people who were never used to writing their notes and memories in notebooks. My handwriting is a good proof on how I never wrote memories before having a blog. But during the Egyptian revolution, and after the regime turned the internet off, I found myself reaching out for my notebook and pen and started taking notes of the events taking place around me and thoughts taking place in my mind. And here I am writing those random memories before the notebook gets lost.
On the "Friday of Rage", the police forces ran away, leaving the whole country unsecured. Later on we heard that many building were on fire, and after that many prisoners escaped from their prisons. Up till now, there are two scenarios for what happened. The first one states that when the policemen were defeated in front of the protesters, they decided to take revenge from the whole country by doing all this. This scenario even goes further by saying that the police helped the prisoners to run away in order to attack people. It's also said that it's a part of Mubarak's plan to give everyone choice between chaos and order, between his rule and his violence! The second scenario, which is the policemen's favourite scenario by the way, says that the police forces where outnumbered by the Egyptian citizens, and millions of people all over the country started attacking them, burning police stations, and breaking into jails to liberate the prisoners there. But the question is, if this scenario is true, isn't it suspicious that all of the Egyptian people were against the police forces? Doesn't this make us wonder if the police brutality all over those years was to be blamed here!?
On Friday, people were chanting "we want to topple the regime", but later on at night, and when everyone was expecting Mubarak to step down, they experienced his roller coaster when he said that instead of stepping down, he will change the prime minister! The funny thing is that in the next day, I heard chants like "we want to topple the president", as if he is really too stupid to understand what they meant by their previous chant.
After thousands of prisoners escaped from their jails all over Egypt, and there were no policemen to be relied on for people's security, the TV started asking people to get down to the streets and secure their own homes. Some people went to the streets with their guns, some others took knives with them, and I went their with a broom in my hand. We stood there all the night, waiting for army forces to be deployed in our district in order to secure it. After a couple of nights and a series of fake alarms and few gun shots here and there, a tank approached us. I then found myself experiencing one of Gabriel García Márquez' magical realism where a tank was just passing by my home in the empty streets that used to be full of cars all day long the previous day, and my first reaction to seeing the tank was saluting them with the broom in my hand.
During the revolution the Egyptian state owned TV, kept on wondering why there are many foreigners in Tahrir square. They started to claim that those are traitors who are here to topple the Egyptian patriot regime! They even went further by claiming that they are bribing people with KFC meals in order to keep on demonstrating. It's one of the common tricks usually used by dictators where they claim that they are the only patriots there and all those opposing to them are traitors. It's their own way to get people's sympathy. Anyway, an Egyptian thinker called "Ammar Ali Hassan" commented on the presence of many foreigners in the square and the real reason behind it. On one hand, put yourself in their shoes, imagine yourself in a country where there is a revolution taking place there, won't you be eager to witness it!? Also, the idea of revolutions itself is somehow a romantic idea for them. In the democratic world of today, you have many other means to topple a regime such as votes, and polling stations. And they have no chance to witness a revolution except in a historic Film about Che Guevara, or in one of the Middle Eastern countries.
During the revolution they insisted in the media outlets to give it names like "Youth Revolution" or "Facebook Revolution". But the people in Tahrir square were from all ages, and sure many of them are Facebook users, however I am sure many many others never heard of Facebook or the internet. May be because it started on Facebook, and it's believed to be the first revolution in history to be arranged by Facebook events. But still, the revolution survived in its early days when there was no internet in the whole country. I sure many people agree with me on this, and here is El-Baradie saying the same thing in one of his tweets, "Do not paint this as a *youth* revolution. Youth were the spark but all Egyptians embraced it and turned it into a glowing fire".
Also during the revolution - and even now after Mubarak is gone - the media outlets are trying to figure out who are the leaders of the revolution. I am speaking for myself here, but I am sure that many other as well have never met most of those people who appear on TV every now and then under the name, "the representatives of the Egyptian youth in Tahrir square". Sure some people like Wael Ghonim planned for demonstrations on the 25th of January, and I think we all should be thankful to them, but even Wael himself refused to be called a leader. The calls for the revolution were spread like a real chain reaction, and it in such kind of revolution it is a real waste of time to try to find leaders and representatives.
Different people had different roles in Jan25 revolution. Some people helped in picking the timing for starting the demonstrations, some others where in the front lines, some were arrested, some lost their eyes dies to the police rubber bullets, and hundreds were even dead. Some people slept in the streets for days in Tahrir square, and some even came out with the revolution's twitter hashtag, #Jan25. And if I am to compare myself to all those people, my role was the least significant role in all those. I tried my best to be in Tahrir square almost every day, as I hated to see the square empty for a single day, and also during the revolution, Tahrir square was the only place that made me feel I am in the Egypt I like. Yet, I'll always be proud to be one of the millions who participated in toppling the regime.

No More Confusion
In my previous post, I said that I was confused, I couldn't tell then if the revolvers have achieved at least a significant part of their demands, or the revolution was murdered. I was confused for few moments if we should wait and see if the regime will fulfil its promises in the coming few month, or if we'd rather continue to protest.
But thanks to Hosni Mubarak, I am not confused any more now, as few hours after his speech the regime sent their thugs to attack the peaceful protesters. And yesterday, I was taking some medical supplies to Tahrir Square, as the Ministry of health doesn't give a shit to the wounded people there, and on my way Mubarak's police officers stole the medical supplies and told me it's either to give them the bag or they will arrest me. The officer also called the protesters, "they are traitors, and we shouldn't offer them any help". So it's clear that after all those years, they still prefer to play the Arab-dictators favourite game, the "Patriots vs. Traitors" game.
The stupidity of the regime is the revolvers best weapon now, and the regime made it clear that their promises are not to be trusted. Hope this is clear too to those who fell for the pro-regime propaganda that is being spread on Facebook in the past few days.
Mubarak's Roller Coaster
Since the 25th of January and I've been living in a roller coaster. A continuous series of ups and downs every moment. I didn't participate in the first day of the revolution. I was a bit scared, a bit not convinced that it will change anything, and also I prefer to follow such events on twitter and facebook instead of participating in them.
Then protesters were killed by the security forces even though the protesters insisted that it will remain a peaceful protest. Two days later, the government switched off the mobile phones, the internet, blackberry, and all other means of communication. They thought that they might prevent people from communicating and arranging for further demonstrations. But the truth is that such information blackout made me - as well as thousands of other people - eager more to get down to the streets and participate in the "Friday of Anger".
Again, the police brutality didn't stop. Rubber bullets, tear bomb, and even lethal bullets were used in different places in Egypt. They were doing their best to prevent the protesters from crossing the bridges and going to Tahrir square. We tried different bridges in different areas, but we faced the same resistance from the police, till a curfew was announced and I preferred to go back to home, along with many others. Later on, on news channels, we found out that police was defeated and people succeeded in crossing to down town, where Tahrir square is located. Later on, news from here and there claimed that the police left their locations on purpose, they unlocked the prisons for looters to go to the streets and terrify people, and some people on TV even claimed that the police and (NDP) National Democratic Party's militias participated in terrorizing people. With the high death toll, the pressure of the United States as well as many other international entities on the government, we expected the president to resign. They announced that Mubarak will give a speech in a while, but it was delayed for hours. And during those hours every one was sure that he was preparing himself to resign. Then came the speech, and he said nothing but changing his prime minister!
In the following three days, all security forces and policemen dissipated from the streets. Protesters stayed in Tahrir Square calling for a million-persons protest/march on Tuesday. People at homes lived in a state of terror, where they carried sticks and knives every night and spent their nights in the streets protecting their homes and businesses. People also cleaned the streets by themselves, and protected some governmental and national buildings. During those three days, every visit you pay to Tahrir Square makes you believe that Mubarak should be now packing his stuff to leave the presidential palace, then a single glance on the national TV makes you believe he is getting himself ready for thirty more years inside the palace.
Then came Tuesday, and at least million persons went to demonstrate in down town. By the way, let's wait for more photos taken by people that day as they will better portray it than words. Also thousands of protesters went in other places in Egypt. And by the night, after seeing those huge numbers in the streets, people were sure that Mubarak will give another speech. They were sure of seeing the speech, yet they were not very sure of its content. Lots of them were expecting him to finally resign, yet some other were suspicious. And once more, I experienced Mubarak's roller coaster. I was happy after his speech. Although he didn't resign, but he promised not to run in the following presidential elections and promised to let the parliament fix the parts of the constitution that limit the presidential candidates to the members of the NDP or the ones approved by the party only. But after a while, I found myself wondering, isn't this just another manoeuvre by the president. Almost all of the members of the parliament are from the NDP, so no one can be sure that they will really fix anything. Also, after the speech, we found demonstrations everywhere in support for the president and asking him to stay in charge. Such kind of suspicious pre-organized demonstrations along with those suspicious people who started calling the different TV shows, weeping and asking the president to stay. The president didn't call for a trial for those in the Ministry of Interior for their role in all this mess and chaos. All this made me suspicious of what have just been said in the speech.
I'm still confused. I really can't tell if the revolvers have achieved at least a significant part of their demands, or the revolution was murdered. I am not the only one confused here, many protesters are confused too. Some are saying that they have to stay and calling for another demonstration next Friday, and some others are calling people to get back to their homes end those protests altogether. Nothing is sure yet, but I am just sure of one single thing, Egypt has changed. I still remember that poor lady I met in Tahrir who said something that summed the whole thing in few simple words. She told me, "A couple of days ago I was so scared of every single police soldier, and today I am here protesting against the head of the state".
Update: The pro-Mubarak demonstrators/militia started now to attack the protesters in down town!
Update: Photos from the past few days.

D.C. tech tax breaks
Peter Suderman | From the March 2013 issue
Last summer the city council of Washington, D.C., grew worried that the well-funded online coupon startup LivingSocial might move its corporate headquarters to a city with a lower overall tax burden. So the D.C. Council approved more than $32 million in special tax breaks for the company over a five-year period, beginning in 2015. LivingSocial's legally unenforceable promise in return was to try doubling the number of its employees in the nation's capital by hiring 1,000 new workers.
The deal did come with a small number of requirements: To get the full tax break, LivingSocial had to ensure that half of its new hires live in the District of Columbia, maintain a minimum of 1,000 workers, and create 200,000 feet of office space for its headquarters. "The tech industry is growing in importance in the District as it grows in importance worldwide, and the presence here of Living-Social is a big part of the draw for other tech companies," D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said when the tax legislation passed in July.
But LivingSocial may not remain much of a draw for long, and the tax breaks don't look like they will pay off for the company or the city. In November, LivingSocial announced a loss of $566 million and said it expected to lay off as many as 400 employees. Many experts question whether it will survive at all. The Washington Business Journal reported that the layoffs raised "fundamental doubts" about the company's business model, which has never been profitable.

See Inside Manufacturing hosts open day at Schaeffler UK
More than 60 pupils from local secondary schools took part in an open day event at Schaeffler UK's automotive engine component manufacturing plant in Llanelli, South Wales.
The event was part of the Government's See Inside Manufacturing initiative, a nationwide 'open days' programme to help improve the image of UK manufacturing among young people, with the objective of attracting the brightest and most talented into a career in manufacturing and engineering. The event at Schaeffler UK was arranged in conjunction with the local college, Coleg Sir Gar, and facilitated by Schaeffler's own apprentices and toolmakers.
The open day, which took place on 21st November, was divided into a morning and afternoon session in order to accommodate more children.
Pupils were split into teams in order to compete in an Engineering Challenge. This challenge involved them having to correctly read an engineering drawing before devising a suitable method for assembling an idler hub bearing. The winner was the team that correctly assembled their idler hub in the fastest time.
In attendance on the day were Alex Robinson, automotive components section manager at The Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders (SMMT) and Paul Bullock, industry liaison manager at the Welsh Automotive Forum.
Alex Robinson commented: "The SMMT, in accordance with the Automotive Council, has aimed to build on local activities already undertaken by individual companies to coordinate a nationwide See Inside Manufacturing programme for young people considering their future career options."
"It is especially pleasing to see the automotive sector taking a lead on this activity in 2011," he continued. "Schaeffler's event will hopefully serve as a tool to spark off an interest amongst local school children in engineering and dispel the outdated attitudes towards a career in the profession."
Paul Bullock of the Welsh Automotive Forum agreed: "If the UK is to plug the current skills gap in UK manufacturing and engineering, it is critical that we attract more young people, both boys and girls, into a career in manufacturing. It was therefore particularly pleasing to see as many girls attending the Schaeffler open day as there were boys. Interestingly, three of the four winning teams on the Engineering Challenges comprised all-girl members."
Roger Evans MBE, plant director at Schaeffler UK, commented: "Giving school children the opportunity to visit a real manufacturing plant, to ask questions and to see what it's really like working with the latest modern machinery in a dynamic, fast-moving manufacturing environment is essential if we are to attract more young people into a future career in this industry."

In a previous mailbag, you discussed how the Federal Register released proposed regulations on qualifying income in early May. I heard the comment period ended on August 4th. Can you give an overview of the comments and tell me when the final regulations will be published?
The Dallas Cowboys kicked off their preseason last Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers. While the final score wasn't in favor of Dallas, Jameill Showers had a decent showing, giving hope for the future of Cowboy Nation.
At no point in any game during this week's preseason lineup did NFL referee Ed Hochuli stroll onto the field in his snug-fitting shirt to announce the rules had changed. If this had happened, I'm pretty sure the internet would have broken and Ed would be under more stress than he was after that Broncos/Chargers debacle in 2008. As ludicrous as changing the rules in the middle of an NFL game may seem, this is the equivalent of what some investors say the IRS did when it released the proposed regulations on qualifying income three months ago.
Investors in Westlake Chemical Partners (WLKP) are booing the IRS' call (helped by WLKP's page dedicated to the matter) to exclude from qualifying income the processing of natural gas liquids (NGLs) into ethylene. The IRS' decision is undoubtedly a rule change, given that WLKP received acceptance of the activity in the form of a private letter ruling (PLR) ahead of their August 2014 IPO.
Luckily, unlike in a packed stadium where fans yell, "Stevie Wonder saw that one" (among other insults that might be pushing the envelope to include in a mailbag post), the IRS welcomed comments. Over 130 stakeholders weighed in on the matter and many of them were WLKP investors.
In addition to the Westlake supporters, there were carefully crafted comments from law firms, the Master Limited Partnership Association (formerly known as the National Association of Publicly Traded Partnerships), the Louisiana congressional delegation, energy industry associations, 21 MLPs, and other companies that are not currently MLPs, but may one day hope to be. Vinson & Elkins provides an amazingly organized list that links to comments by organization, type, and topic.
Broadening the current definition of processing and refining was the most contested issue in the comments. As it stands in the proposed regulations, "activities that cause a substantial physical or chemical change… or that transform the extracted mineral or natural resource into new or different mineral products, including manufactured products" are not qualifying. The problem here is that when a company refines crude oil in a manner that is necessary to the "cost effective" production of gasoline or other fuels, resulting ethylene, propylene, and butadiene ("olefins") production is considered qualifying. However, when the exact same olefins are formed as a product of NGLs from the gas stream, they aren't qualifying. This is like telling your daughter, Mae, that she can make and sell lemonade, but sorry little Benny, you can't.
Additionally, with the IRS' proclamation that the proposed regulations are an "exclusive list" of qualifying income, a handful of commenters believe there is uncertainty around the inclusion of some items such as royalties and compression, resulting in the seeking of clarification by Black Stone Minerals (BSM) and Exterran Partners (EXLP), respectively.
In a recent Vinson & Elkins webinar that covered this topic, the panel of presenting attorneys shared their belief that to see anything finalized within a year is unlikely. There are internal factors at the IRS, such as personnel changes, that give reason for this outlook. In other words, Dan Bailey kicked it to the one-yard line and there's a long way to go, folks. Grab a snack and stay tuned.

Our Student Spotlight for this month is Vancouver campus evening class student Theresa Turpel. Theresa started school in November, 2018 and will graduate in September of 2019.
As far back as I can remember, I associated massage and touch therapy with comfort and a method for consoling others. So many of the basic concepts come to us all naturally and everything I read on it in my teens really connected with those instincts.
Learning the real "why's" behind it all in class now has strengthened my belief of the effect we have on each other and how we can direct that in positive ways.
Massage makes me feel strong, hopeful, happy, and energized and I look forward to putting that same result onto those I get to work on. Each time I give a massage that has a visibly positive affect I feel invigorated and a growing sense of self-worth. I know that the more I continue to learn, the more I can assist others in being their best selves and achieving their own goals as well!
Bodymechanics had reviews from former students that really resonated with me. The focus on treatment was a missing piece in a lot of schools I had explored in the past. In the few short months I've been in class, I've been so excited to have my mind blown over and over with the concepts and practices introduced. I'm confident that what they teach will allow us to assist people in properly healing and to make real differences in people's lives.
How is class going for you so far?
The instructors, administration, and my classmates have been phenomenal in both conveying subject material and in encouraging me to believe I can do this. That WE can do this! The lessons and instructors have been really helping me take in all this information and put it to practical use. It's been reassuring with us all working together to make sure we all succeed and no one gets left behind! My academic experiences in the past seemed to have this competitive environment that I just don't thrive under, so the "team" aspect has been so empowering!!
What is the best part of school?
We're all so different but have this amazing connection. Everyone wants to see us all succeed, to go out into the world and bring positive change to people's lives. Each accomplishment is celebrated with such enthusiasm and any stumble (though I rightly can't think of one at the moment) is met with a helping hand. I get all verklempt each time I go to write or talk about how wonderful everyone has been.
We have built up some of the worst habits and we as a community need to promote positive changes to how we approach our hobbies and lifestyles. I'm also extremely excited to start CE classes specializing in animals (such as equine and canine massage) and hopefully work to help rehabilitate animals that have sustained abusive relationships and help them gain forever homes with loving families!


1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bottom of 15-by-10-by-1-inch (jelly-roll) pan with cooking spray.
2. In large bowl, make cake batter as directed on box. Pour into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
3. In medium bowl, mix vanilla frosting and peanut butter until mixed well. Drop frosting by spoonfuls evenly over cooled cake; carefully spread, and top with Toppings. To serve, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.
Tips: For best success with this recipe, be sure to use a jellyroll pan with at least a 1-inch rim so there is less risk of cake batter spilling over while baking.

The Nation's Heroes Cross (Cross on the Mount Caraiman) in Busteni, Romania
The short name of the monument is the Cross of the Heroes, the long name is Commemorative Cross of the Romanian Heroes of the World War One but it is popularity called "The Cross of Caraiman". This monument was designated by Guinness World Records as the world's highest cross that sits on a mountain peak.
The Cross of the Heroes is situated in the Saddle of the Caraiman Massif, right on the edge of the steep towards Valea Seacă ("The Barren Valley"), at an altitude of 2291 m, being thus unique in the world, both in terms of the altitude of its location and in terms of its dimensions.
The width of the vertical pillar of the monument is of 2 m, the length of the horizontal arms before the pillar axis is of 7 m, and the side of the square hole of the structural member is of 2 m.
The cross is made of steel profiles and is mounted on a 7.5 m high steel concrete foundation plated with slabs. Inside it, there is a room that originally housed the power generator that fed the 120 light bulbs of 500 W that are placed on the outline of the Cross.
The Nations's Heroes Cross was built between 1926 and1928 to honour the memory of the heroes killed during World War I in the fighting that took place against the Central Powers. The Cross was erected at the initiative of Queen Mary and King Ferdinand I of Romania, with the aim of being seen from the greatest possible distance.
Certain legends tell that this monument was built following a dream that Queen Mary had.
The project of the ensemble was drawn by Romanian architects Georges Cristinel and Constantin Procopiu.
Queen Mary closely watched the execution of the construction work until it was completed.
The inauguration and sanctification of the monument took place on September 14, 1928, on the Day of the Holy Cross. The Cross of Caraiman is illuminated with 300 light bulbs of 500 W each and can be seen from scores and scores of miles away, from Prahova Valley.
https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucea_Eroilor_Neamului
Romania, Southern Region, Prahova County
The actual cross has a height of 28 m and two arms with a length of 7 m each. The concrete socket on which the cross is mounted has a height of 7.5 m.
Rehabilitation works are foreseen by the government.
The Nation's Heroes Cross was built to honour the memory of the heroes killed on duty during the First World War in the battles that took place against the Central Powers.

Can you offer any suggestions for prolonging the shelf life of fresh mozzarella cheese?
In an earlier column, we explored several different options for storing fresh mozzarella, but there are some tricks for making it last longer, too. For starters, you should not reach into the liquid packing solution with unclean hands or gloves—this will contaminate the solution and reduce its shelf life. Additionally, you may have heard that the liquid packing solution should be replaced with water and changed every couple of days with fresh water to prolong the shelf life of the cheese, but this is incorrect. As long as you've used clean utensils for reaching into the container and haven't contaminated the solution with improper handling methods, you should not replace the liquid solution with fresh water—that will deplete the salt levels in the cheese and may cause the cheese to lose some of its flavor and go soft and slimy.
If you suspect that the liquid solution has become contaminated, you can replace it with a fresh mixture of brine solution consisting of 1 tbsp. of salt dissolved in 1 to 4 lb. of 37°F water, depending on the concentration of salt that you desire and its potential effect on the saltiness of the cheese stored in the solution. Stronger brine will do a better job of retarding souring/ spoilage, but the cheese will also become saltier as long as it's stored in the solution. The concentration of the brine will also affect the texture consistency of the cheese over time as the salt interacts with the proteins in the cheese.
Another way to prolong the shelf life of larger pieces of fresh mozzarella is to remove the piece from its liquid packing solution and encase it in plastic wrap, replacing the plastic wrap every time you open it. These large pieces can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored for up to seven days, while smaller pieces, which tend to dry out more easily, need to be stored in brine, whey or water solutions.
While unrefrigerated fresh mozzarella tastes best on the day
that it's made, it also tends to release more whey/water during
baking as a pizza topping or in lasagna, as compared to fresh
mozzarella that has been refrigerated or frozen before use in
baking. On the other hand, refrigerated or frozen mozzarella
(and remember, many mozzarella connoisseurs strongly rec-
ommend against refrigerating or freezing it) will have a drier
mouth-feel when directly eaten, but it won't release as much
whey/water in the baking process. These variations in eating
and baking characteristics can be attributed to the proteins in
the cheese changing over time.
Finally, studies show that fresh mozzarella that has been refrigerated for a week or longer can be somewhat refreshed to its "first day of production" eating characteristics by soaking it in a warm salted whey or salted milk solution (1 tsp. salt per 1 c. of milk) for about an hour. This process will enhance the direct eating characteristics of the cheese, and it should not be done with cheese that will be used for baking.

Las Colinas, nominated as "Best New Resort Course" by Golf Digest in 1992, and a recipient of the "Top FairWays" recognition by Golf for Women, this course offers quite a different challenge from El Campeón. Its wide-open fairways and gentle rolling hills create an inland links design.
Greens are large and undulating, while the course's classic old architecture style demands proper shot placement. The signature par 5, 12th hole "Alligator Alley," spans 493 yards along one of the tree-lined fairways, requiring absolute accuracy from tee to green.

My name is Sarah Olsen and I have been working in the Insurance industry since 2010.
I started off doing Auto then was fast tracked to Home, Condo and Marine Insurance. I then became one of 4 program managers of our Marine department , out of 20 branches, to assist in underwriting and to help facilitate training to other brokers.
A few years later I started in Commercial Insurance- where I quickly learned not everything fits in a perfect little box so you have to really dig deep to figure out what your clients needs are and how to provide superior coverage for them.
I was very lucky to have the experienced and qualified mentors and underwriters along the way to learn from and help me grow into the broker I am now.
Throughout the different areas of insurance I've been involved with, one thing remains the same- my clients and their needs are always my number 1 priority.
I look forward to hearing from you soon for ALL your insurance needs.

posted by Howard B. Owens in sports, basetball, Attica, pembroke.
Pembroke fell to Attica in a Friday night matchup in Attica, 55-59.
Attica's Dawson Nelson led all scorers with 16 points. He also had 15 rebounds and two assists. Tyler Meyer added 13 points and Frankie Biscelgilie scored 15.
For Pembroke, Trevor Vaughn scored 14 points and Jarrod Ludwig scored 10 points.
From Attica Head Coach Rob Crawley:
"Attica Held Pembroke to five field goals in the second half, but Pembroke was 20-22 from the free-throw line.
"I am incredibly proud of our team tonight. With it being such a later season opener for us, I was very concerned about going up against a well-prepared and well-coached team like Pembroke. We kept our composure from start to finish which shows a lot of growth from our players.

The chef is the kingpin in a restaurant, and Darcy Makeiff is supreme. He previously worked at Montana's on the ski hill but now likes the creative freedom that comes with co-owning his own establishment—The Nest in Marysville. The day I visited he was making one of his homemade pastas, this time a beautiful black squid pasta.
The second owner, Neill Anderson, helped me select a signature cocktail. I had a Guava Sunrise cocktail that was perfect … not too sweet with layers of fruity flavours. For my entree, the duck breast with mushroom risotto was topped with layers of flavour including a cherry sauce. Can you say fabulous with your mouth full? It was and I did.
In coming together to create The Nest, the two owners are shaking up the restaurant scene in Kimberley.
With decades of experience between them, the duo are giving it their all to make this restaurant a success, from the ambience to the food. The decor is simple, rustic and comfortable: natural wood walls and floor, soft blue leather seating and an artistic use of lighting.
They've planted a garden for fresh ingredients, especially herbs. They're using local products including distilled beverages from Bohemian Spirits in Marysville and Fernie Brewing.
The diverse day and evening menus will change periodically, a key for local patrons who make this restaurant a habit.
Popular dishes are the pad thai, the beef tenderloin and the homemade pastas, with gluten-free buckwheat pasta coming soon.
If you're too full to eat Makeiff's fantastic cheesecake, you'll still savour a few frozen grapes with bites of decadent chocolate for dessert.
Dinners are served seven days a week from 5 to 10 p.m. The restaurant already has its regulars, so reservations are recommended for Thursday, Friday or Saturday night dinners. Lunch hours are Wednesday to Saturday noon to 3 p.m.
Located in downtown Marysville, The Nest includes a little patio with a tree for those lovely summer days or nights. Keep in touch with this restaurant on its Facebook page.


To help new players , or more likely old players starting again pick the race of their characters.
I'm posting some numbers below.
I've went to that site so many times and it made the game a lot more enjoyable for me.
Anyway I'm not as organized or skilled as Grumpy that i could make a website and actually give you guys as much info as he did back then.
But here is some. Naturally higher numbers = better.
How these numbers matter in combat you will have to figure out yourselves and tbh I'm not sure anyone knows 100% besides path and Quickz.
Now, like i said, a lot of races have special stuff, theres different studymaxes, turns per hour, special attacks, special characteristics, a whole bunch of stuff that makes each race unique. So don't just look at the highest number here and pick those. The game is a lot more than just some numbers.
Oh and each point you guy your troops at level ups increases the numbers here by the same 1 point.
