Hartson's Home Run – LRP's Jurgen Lautenbach reports on the addition to their CV of another World Championship win courtesy of Steve Hartson in the USA as well as looking forward to the DHI Cup in 2014.
Talking Telemetry – Improving the World Championship-winning Sanwa Exzes X radio was always going to be tough as arguably the most popular competition-spec stick unit has all the features you could wish for. But thanks to the M12 steerwheel, the new Exzes Z now comes with a telemetry system, LCD and a new processor.
How To Waterproof – Justin Noble looks at waterproofing and checks out the latest offerings from RC Lazy and their new look Lazy Goo that comes in two different colours for the ultimate in colour co-ordination.
Two from Two For OJ – Round two of the LMP12 nationals took place at Stocksbridge and saw Olly Jefferies tighten his grip on the modified championship and Chris Kerswell break his duck for the year, whilst in GT12 Schumacher dominated both days with David Hall and Sam Clifton.
Lee Martin's Mugen MBX-7 – In this exclusive feature, Racer gets a chance to get up close and personal with Lee Martin's Beta-powered, Pro-Line-equipped Mugen MBX-7 buggy that won the BRCA National title in 2013.
Podium Fight – The final two BRCA National rounds at Brookland and Mendip would wrap up the 2013 race season in 1:8 on-road. With the top two spots in the series decided, it would be the final podium position up for grabs.
Scale Trailer – Accessories for 1:10 sized scalers have so far been limited to aftermarket bodies, roof sets, winches and the like. But now Radshape RC can offer an all-aluminium trailer for your scaler just like the one they supplied us that we fitted to our Axial rig.
Two From Two – In his latest diary piece, Olly Jefferies reflects on the 1:12 scale season so far having taken two wins and two pole positions in the modified class.
Tamiya Egress 2013 – Another Tamiya icon is re-released with the Egress – a car that was designed to be a racing version of the famous Avante back in 1989. For 2013 the shaft-driven Egress receives a makeover to bring it right up to date with new carbon fibre-reinforced parts, central torque-splitter diff and one-way and ball differentials. Colin Spinner builds up the modern version and reflects on his experiences of the Tamiya 4WD when he was the Tamiya race team manager.
Team Associated QS Rival MT RTR – The latest Qualifier Series model from the range is the Rival Monster Truck based on the 2003 vintage Team Associated MGT. The first MGT's were nitro-powered but this monster is a high-performance electric version. Using the latest technologies like a brushless system, LiPo batteries and 2.4GHz radio equipment, the Rival offers huge power and lots of fun too.
TLR 22 2.0 – As the name suggests, the 2.0 version of TLR's 22 sees the design evolve taking in lessons learnt from the original dual format buggy. Many changes have been incorporated into the design, some less visual than others with the end result being a more stable, easier to drive chassis that with some updated parts gives the customer a more complete package.
Schumacher Cougar KR – We found out that with the 4WD Schumacher CAT K1 the K stood for black so therefore the 2WD Cougar KR must mean black and rear. The KR replaces the SVR rear-motored model and features a new gear diff, industry standard 12mm hex wheels, recessed alloy chassis and a new alloy anti-squat plate, wrapped up in Schumacher's black theme.
LRP S8 Rebel BX 2.4GHz Limited Edition – The latest S8 Rebel BX is a limited edition version of LRP's RTR buggy. Aimed at the first time buyer, this Ready-To-Run nitro-powered model not only will find popularity with those getting into RC, but will provide a suitable basis should they wish to go racing.

Here are some OnePlus Nord 2 renders, camera information and more
By Roland Udvarlaki July 14, 2021, 8:30 am
The upcoming OnePlus Nord 2 is getting teased by OnePlus itself, and new information is coming out every day about the new device. Today, we get to see the OnePlus Nord 2 in all of its glory in some new renders, and the complete specifications of the device are leaked online.
The new renders and specifications were shared by 91Mobiles. First and foremost, let's start with the renders. We have already seen a number of leaks and renders of the OnePlus Nord 2, but the newly shared images share it in even more detail. It has a large 6.43-inch 90Hz fast refresh rate AMOLED HDR10+ display and a pill-shaped punch-hole 32-megapixel selfie camera.
Moving on to the internals, it will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset that'll include a number of AI improvements to enhance the performance. It will be equipped with 8/12GB of RAM and 128/256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The battery is said to be 4,500mAh and it'll support 65W wired Warp Charge.
The rear camera setup includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 sensor – the same sensor used in the flagship OnePlus 9 series – an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor.
OnePlus has also revealed that the Nord 2 will come with OxygenOS 11 pre-installed, and it will receive 2 major Android updates, and 3 years of security patches. It's great to see some commitment in this regard, and 2 major Android updates for a midranger is certainly appreciated at this price point.
Take a deep breath and chill, worrywarts. OnePlus Nord 2 comes pre-installed with OxygenOS 11 backed up by 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates.

— OnePlus India (@OnePlus_IN) July 13, 2021
The OnePlus Nord 2 will be available in two color options, including Gray Sierra, Blue Haze. A leather model is also rumored, but it's unclear when such a device may launch. The new Nord 2 is expected to start at around ~$400 and it will be available from July 22. The brand new OnePlus Buds Pro are also expected to be announced at the same event. With the release date being just around the corner, we may see a few more additional information pop-up, just before going live, so let us know what you think of the new affordable OnePlus device in the comments below.

The Evacuator is definitely worth the investment.
The chloramines issue has all but subsided and there is no "chlorine smell" emanating from the pool area into our locker rooms. There have been zero complaints from our swim team members as to "swimmers cough" as there had been.
Our indoor pool was built in 1975. The air quality has always been very poor. Since adding the Evacuator our "pool smell" has left the building!
We are confident the Evacuator will help us retain members and increase the value of membership at our club.
I have often come home very sick after announcing in facilities with air quality issues. So for me, it was outstanding and helped me do a much better job for your team.
Best air quality I've ever experienced at a championship meet. Venues that struggle with air quality should make a trip to Jenks to see their unique set-up.

How to Choose an IVF Program
How do you select from the hundreds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs across the country? Five things to consider about an IVF program include: reputation, affiliations, program research, infertility services, and convenience of the location.
As a couple, you've been trying to conceive for several months without success. Should you keep trying or should you consult a fertility specialist? The correct answer is that it depends. Here are some things that can help you determine how soon to see a specialist.
Egg Freezing and Your Biological Clock
A woman's egg quality begins to decrease in her early 30's with a more significant drop-off around age 35. For women who choose to wait to become pregnant, egg freezing, a medical procedure where a woman's eggs are frozen for future use, may be a viable method to expand a woman's reproductive options.

Authorities say a 19-year-old woman has died in a head-on crash with a logging truck in the Washington County town of Wesley, Maine.
The sheriff's office identified the victim of the Thursday morning crash as Kayla Robinson, of Trescott.
Investigators say Robinson was driving east on Route 9 toward Calais when she crossed the center line and hit the logging truck. Robinson was ejected from her and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The logging truck rolled over and spilled its load across the highway. The truck's driver and a passenger suffered minor injuries

I'm looking for ways to record internet broadcasts of football games to listen on my iPod. Is there anything out there for that? I am assuming such activity is not illegal if for personal use.
Whilst it may or may not be illegal you could easily use something like this to do it.
I second Audio Hijack Pro. The look is great, the program works great, and handles anything you throw at it.

Xepin - patient information, description, dosage and directions.
Doxepin cream helps to reduce itching due to eczema.
Apply a thin layer of cream 3-4 times daily.
It can make you feel sleepy. If this happens, do not drive or use tools or machines.
Eczema is sometimes called dermatitis, which means inflammation of the skin. If you have eczema, areas of your skin become dry, red and inflamed. These areas of inflamed skin are often itchy, making you want to scratch. Then when you scratch, your skin becomes even more inflamed.
Doxepin cream helps to reduce itching. It does this by blocking the action of a chemical called histamine.
If you have a heart condition or an irregular heart rhythm.
If you have any difficulties passing urine.
If you have a mental health problem called mania.
Before you start this treatment, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from inside your pack. The leaflet will give you more information about doxepin cream and a full list of side-effects which you may experience from using it.
Apply a thin layer of doxepin cream to the itchy areas three or four times each day. It is recommended that you do not use more than 3 g of cream at any time, or more than 12 g of cream a day. As a rough guide, this means that you should never use so much that a 30 g tube of cream lasts less than three days.
Continue to use your emollients every day as this will also help to prevent your skin from becoming dry and itchy. Try to avoid extremes of temperature by wrapping up well in cold weather. Also, avoid wearing rough or irritating clothing which can make your itching worse.
Doxepin cream may make you feel sleepy, especially when you first start using it. If it happens to you, do not drive or use tools or machines until you feel more awake. If it continues to be a problem, apply less cream or, for a few days, reduce the number of times you apply it. Do not drink alcohol, as this will increase the feelings of drowsiness.
If the treated areas of your skin are covered (either with your clothing or a dressing), this can increase how much doxepin your skin absorbs and the chance of side-effects. Do not apply more of the cream than your doctor has told you to, and do not use any dressings over the cream unless your doctor has said to do so.
If you buy any medicines, check with a pharmacist that they are suitable for you to take while you are using doxepin.
Can doxepin cream cause problems?
Feeling sleepy If this happens, do not drive or use tools or machines.
Rash This could be an allergic type of reaction.

UPDATE: Kelis Toasts To Divorce
UPDATE: Apparently Kelis was overseas celebrating her decision to divorce her hubby Nas. Seems like Kelis is very popular in Europe and Russia so she spends a lot of time there when she can. According to egyptsaidso.com, Kelis had a celebratory dinner with some girlfriends where she toasted to her upcoming divorce and said "Here's to taking that motherf*$%#@ for everything he has!" and here's the shocker…Pregnant Kelis was allegedly drinking.
And in Nas' corner, sources close to Nas' camp say that a sex tape of Kelis and another man is the reason why the couple's relationship went downhill. Nas is said to have been publicly humiliated by the tape although Kelis assured him it wasn't during their marriage. Both camps say he hasn't been able to move past the incident and has been distant and cruel to Kelis ever since.
We've heard in the past that Nas is not crazy about Kelis' friendship with actress Dania Ramirez.
Apparently Nas thinks Dania is a bad influence on Kelis because when they're together they run around town like they are single. He's told folks that everytime Kelis goes out west to hang with Dania, she gets into trouble or hangs with a crowd of people who hop around to selacious private parties at the homes of various Hollywood A & B listers as well as at the home of professional athletes.
Check out Nas performing at Hunter College the day after the divorce announcement:
Kelis parties while preggers.
UPDATE: New details are emerging regarding Kelis and Nas divorce drama. According to ballerstatus.com, former XXL editor-in-chief Elliott Wilson held an interview with Angela Yee's Shade 45 satellite radio show, and revealed that the couple got into an argument last week over a text message and photos that Kelis found:
Here's what was revealed:
On the women Nas was cheating on his pregnant wife with:
"She had found a certain young lady's photos and inappropriate text, correspondence between a certain young lady on the side … I don't believe it's a famous woman. I believe it's a black chick from Virginia who may be a promoter of some sort, but definitely not a famous chick.."
On the verbal abuse allegations:
"The biggest issue I heard is a lot of him just talking to her crazy…besides physicaly abusive they can be verbally abusive…A lot of the drama I'm hearing had to do with that aspect too."
On the breaking point:
"To find out your man's cheating on you when your seven months pregnant in a blatant way makes Kelis feel like this is the breaking point and she's calling the lawyer."
UPDATE: We just came across this video of Nas following the divorce announcement:
Click here to see our video showdown between the couple.
We've heard this one before, but this time around it seems like it's the real deal, Nas and Kelis are separating after three years of marriage.
According to vibe.com, the couple have split. "I can confirm that she has filed for divorce," a spokesperson for Kelis told VIBE. "We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time." At around 3:45pm PST, high-powered attorney Laura Wasser (who has also represented Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, and Stevie Wonder) filed a divorce petition today on behalf of Kelis, citing irreconciable differences.
Nas and Kelis may be divorcing.
The bombshell comes amid recent reports that the acclaimed rhymer and influential R&B vixen were expecting their first child together-a son. Kelis is currently seven months pregnant.
Check out the couple in happier times:
Apparently the couple is already living separately with Nas staying in his New Jersey mansion, and Kelis splitting her time between the Atlanta house and L.A.
Kelis has been rumored to cheat on Nas more than a few times and now it is Nas who is being accused of bringing another woman into the picture. This time a local club owner's daughter whom also owns several studios in Miami herself, where Nas and Kelis share a home.
Kelis feeds her belly at Mr. Chow's
We were hoping God's Son and Ms. Milkshake could weather any storm that was put before them.
Would you break up with your man while pregnant? What would it take to walk away while preggers?

Published in Ship World
There is not a lot of maritime news in the mainstream media. I went to the funeral of the last shipping correspondent who worked for a daily broadsheet nearly forty years ago and he, poor chap, was never replaced. Shipping is like the water supply or sewage system, somebody said; you never think about it until it goes wrong, when there is hell to pay.
But there were all sorts of excited headlines when an unmanned "ship" (actually a small launch) shifted a crate of Belgian beer and a few other comestibles across the English Channel, this feat being hailed as a portent of the autonomous ship revolution which various enthusiasts consider to be just around the corner. Don't get me wrong, it was a commendable operation, which was conducted under the watchful eyes of the authorities on both sides of the channel. But the voyage of this remote-controlled launch should be considered more symbolic and not a step change in the movement of cargo by sea, as some would have us believe.
There is progress being made in maritime autonomy, although the real technological heavy lifting is being done by navies, mostly far from any headlines, with a whole range of surveillance, mine clearance and combat craft already in service. In the world of the drone, which is doing exciting things in the skies, we should not be surprised to see a growing number of the same sort of sensors being employed in small surface and underwater craft; cheaper and as effective as large manned warships and minimising danger for a lot of people. This is migrating into the research and survey world, which is both sensible and logical.
But it is all far short of the brave new world of long-haul ocean shipping that some enthusiasts might suggest will see autonomous ships moving into the mainstream before very long. Many marine professionals also subscribe to the notion that the whole concept of autonomy is not part of their business and is already taking up far too much time and money for regulators and researchers alike. What is really needed (and the climate of the times might confirm this) is urgent and well-resourced efforts to make the shipping, we all depend upon to feed and fuel the world, more environmentally sustainable. Autonomy is a side show and ought to be left to the navies – what can no longer be avoided is the demand for cleaner fuels and ships that won't contribute to that great bugaboo of climate change.
DARPA's unmanned naval vessel Sea Hunter
Shipping and big oil are now firmly in the sights of the shrieking hordes of climate activists who are unlikely to go away in a hurry. They won't be impressed by the progress that is being made to reduce emissions and their demands will only increase over time. As this is being written, a well-organised gang of environmental guerrillas, radiating their self-righteousness, are preventing anyone getting into the headquarters of BP, garnering headlines in all the UK papers. They are demanding that the oil company eschews oil.
The recent International Maritime Organisation MEPC 74 meeting was conducted against a background of shouting protesters, children put up by their leftist teachers to present delegates with paper boats demanding that ships slow down, activists demanding revolution and the simplistic demands of that irritating Swedish teenager who has become almost totemic. Against such shouting hordes, the actual progress made by a great deal of the industry in improving its sustainability and efficiency tend to be ignored.
There are shipping companies shifting to LNG as a fuel, while there is real progress being made in hybrid systems of propulsion. There are kings' ransoms being spent on scrubbers to mitigate harmful emissions and costs will rocket from next year when low sulphur fuel becomes a mandatory requirement. People are experimenting with changes to the underwater shape of ships, exceptionally efficient coatings to prevent fouling and trying to make their whole supply chain less wasteful. The industry needs to be given some credit for this effort, not brickbats from the uninformed, who don't listen when they are told of the incremental improvements that are being undertaken, away from the headlines.
But it is the shipping industry that is undertaking this hard work, mostly without any external financial assistance. It is also the shipping industry that will have the unenviable task of trying to pass on the costs of these improvements to the users of ships, who are already well organised in their resistance, after a long era of cheap shipping. But from where are the really significant breakthroughs that will make ships acceptably sustainable going to emerge? There is a need for serious research money and large-scale scientific effort to be applied to these undeniable needs. The cash starved shipping industry, already hearing the pips squeaking as the latest environmental demands are implemented cannot deliver what society now demands alone.
It is worrying that governments, always fascinated by simplistic ideas like the theory of autonomy and exciting developments like robots, are far more interested in supporting this sort of work than what the industry really needs; simple, reliable and affordable technology and ships that will carry the world's cargo in a way that minimises damage to the environment. That is a far greater challenge than developing ships with no, or fewer, sailors aboard them. Let's get our priorities right.

French Essayist Blames Multiculturalism for Breivik's Killing Spree
New essays by French author Richard Millet, which say Anders Behring Breivik's Norwegian massacre was the result of immigration and multiculturalism, have caused an uproar in France

Anders Behring Breivik in a courtroom in Oslo on Aug. 24, 2012, the day he was sentenced to the maximum 21 years in prison
Richard Millet is an accomplished figure in French literature. His book Le Sentiment du Langue (The Feeling of Language) won the Académie Française's 1994 essay award. His work as an editor for celebrated publisher Gallimard, meanwhile, helped produce two recent Prix Goncourt winners — including the 2006 novel Les Bienveillantes (The Kindly Ones) by American author Jonathan Littell. Now, however, Millet is getting attention of an entirely different kind with a new work attacking immigration and multiculturalism, and describing the acts of convicted Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik as "formal perfection … in their literary dimension."
That bookish qualifier, says newsweekly L'Express in its critique of Millet's new essay, "Éloge Littéraire d'Anders Breivik" (Literary Elegy of Anders Breivik), is a "gratuitous facade" for an otherwise "vindictive text" and thesis. Indeed, though Millet states he does not approve of Breivik's murderous actions on July 22, 2011 that left 77 people dead, he does write the slaughter was "without doubt what Norway deserved." The reason? Norway, Millet contends, allowed immigration, multiculturalism and the domination of foreign customs, language and religion to become such dominant influences that a self-designated defender of traditional society felt compelled to take decisive action.

"Multiculturalism, as it has been imported from the United States, is the worst thing possible for Europe … and creates a mosaic of ghettoes in which the [host] nation no longer exists," Millet told France Info radio on Aug. 27. "Breivik, I believe, perceived that and responded to that question with the most monstrous reply."
Little wonder that such views — published just as Breivik was being sentenced Aug. 24 — have sparked controversy in France. As word of Millet's writing spreads, so too may the objections it has inspired.

If so, that may only serve to reinforce Millet's accusations that most of Europe — and indeed the West — is dominated by the same attitudes that motivated Breivik's attack. Breivik, Millet writes, is "an exemplary product of Western decadence" and a "child of the ideologico-racial fracture that extra-European immigration has introduced in Europe." Because he sees the resulting "loss of national identity" and "Islamization of Europe" decaying "Christian roots" everywhere, Millet appears to believe acts similar to Breivik's may be replicated outside Norway as well.
"Within this decadence, Breivik is without doubt what Norway deserved, and what awaits our societies that won't stop blinding themselves in denial," Millet writes in "Éloge Littéraire d'Anders Breivik," one of three essays published under the collective title Langue Fantôme (Ghost Language) on Aug. 24 by publisher Éditions Pierre-Guillaume de Roux. "European nations are dissolving socially at the same time as they're losing their Christian essence in favor of general relativism."

After the disclaimer in which he insists he does "not approve of the acts committed by Breivik," Millet admits being "struck by their 'formal perfection' and 'literary dimension.'" But unimpressed critics contend Millet's artistic conceit and florid prose rationalizing Breivik's acts are little more than an apology advancing extreme-right doctrine. In its Aug. 27 review, the daily Le Monde points to his accompanying essay, "De l'Antiracisme Comme Terreur Littéraire" (Antiracism as Literary Terror) as reflecting Millet and his conservative worldview:
The man hates a lot, and [does so] in a refined style that's sometimes obscure. But it's sufficiently clear for the objects of his malice to distinctly appear: social democracy (and democracy, full stop), extra-European immigration, the remainders of Marxism and their supposed corollaries of ignorance, political correctness and the weakening of language. All of that is leading to the crumbling of Europe — a decomposing continent where "a civil war is under way."
Though such views are regularly championed by the extreme right, their association with Breivik's massacre is something leaders like Marine Le Pen of France's National Front party have assiduously avoided. Indeed, Le Pen has attacked efforts to explain or justify Breivik's killing spree as a consequence of extreme-right views put into action. Given the enduring taboo of seeking to explain Breivik's acts as anything short of madness, Millet's essay may not only lead Le Pen to deny any ties to the author or his work — but may also force the venerable Gallimard to do likewise.

Though the famous Paris publisher has no involvement with or responsibility for Millet's controversial essays, it's nevertheless coming under pressure to sever its relationship with a man airing such controversial views. On Monday, francophone Moroccan author Tahar Ben Jelloun called Millet's essay a "ridiculous, useless and, above all, disgusting provocation." Ben Jelloun told France Info that Gallimard, publisher of Ben Jelloun's books, had to realize Millet "can't be part of this organization and, elsewhere, propose such horrible things."
Author Annie Ernaux agreed, telling Le Monde on Monday that Millet's writing represents "a dangerous political act" by a Gallimard employee that "engages the responsibility of the company." She said "a collective reaction from all Gallimard writers" to force action on Millet's case is now under consideration.
But even as he echoed the "indignation over such cretinous and notorious statements," Gallimard author Jean-Marie Laclavetine nevertheless told France Info that people protesting Millet's essays must "be careful about [becoming] thought police"
"Everyone has the right to think as he wishes and write what he wants," Laclavetine said. "I think it would be very bad for Gallimard to fire him. I too wish Richard didn't think what he thinks and wrote what he wrote, but that's his right."
(MORE: Have We Turned a Blind Eye to Domestic Terrorism?)
Neither the controversy surrounding his essays nor calls for his ouster from Gallimard seem to bother Millet. Indeed, the man who described Breivik's 77 victims as "mixed-raced, globalized, uncultivated, social-democrat petit bourgeois," appears to take a certain pride in the anger and consternation his essays have provoked.
"I'm one of the most hated French authors," he told France Info on Monday. "It's an interesting position that makes me an exceptional being."
Given his previous accomplishments as an editor, Millet could have made that literary boast before publishing his essays. Now that they're out, he can add peerless polemicist — and possibly leading ideologue — of Europe's extreme right to that list of distinctions.

Farquhar Mansion is a fine dining restaurant near Eastern & Oriental Hotel. The upscale, two-storey building was restored from a colonial-era mansion. While the ground floor is where most diners are seated, the upper level is exclusively reserved for members only.
Farquhar Mansion specializes in contemporary French cuisine. Today's visit is to review the latest rendition of the Ultimate Chef's Tasting Menu. While waiting for the meal to begin, diners are served multigrain bread rolls with aromatic truffle butter.
The amuse-bouche is presented over a bed of roasted coffee beans. The first of the 2-piece appetizer is Bonito Arancini. The deep-fried rice ball is filled with skipjack tuna, eel and mozzarella cheese. Next to it is a Potato Soufflé that contains pickled cucumber and dill. The crispy croquette is garnished with paprika aioli and microgreens.
Aubergine Oreo consists of garlic cream cheese sandwiched between pieces of eggplant and prune chutney. This delicacy is meant to be dipped in ten don shooter. The latter's foamy consistency is achieved through the use of an espuma.
The next dish, Tropicana, is centered on sweet mango custard. Serving as companions are pecan nuts, ginger crisp, glazed Roma tomato, dried pineapple and grated coconut soil. The overall sweetness is quite pleasant to the palate.
Chicken Roulade is rolled with mushrooms and nuts, and then served with thick, savory fungi purée. The roulade's outer layer consists of jelly-like skin. Two succulent morels are served on the side. Popcorn is also present but I feel that it is disconnected from the rest of this dish.
Duo Foie Gras is an exquisite French delicacy. The goose liver must be seared gently in order to preserve its delicate texture. It is served with a slice of charred brioche and Granny Smith apple sauce. The buttery flavor of foie gras makes it gratifying indeed.
Taking a detour to the marine kingdom, the Ocean represents a seafood ensemble of grouper, abalone, clam and sea cucumber. The plating also incorporates slices of white radish and ginger jam.
Angus Beef Loin is cooked to medium rare, which is the ideal doneness for premium beef. The steak is served au jus and with black garlic aioli. On the side is a tartlet filled with slow-cooked beef cheeks. Also featured is a crispy slab of homemade tofu.
Moving on to the dessert, the Chestnut Mousse is presented over a bed of almond crumble. However, I am more fascinated by the presence of miniature coffee pearls. Also present are brown bread and vanilla sauce.
The 8-course Ultimate Chef's Tasting Menu is priced at RM278.00++. The menu may be revised as the season progresses in order to take advantage of the freshest produce. To cater vegetarians, Farquhar Mansion also offers the Chef's Tasting Vegetarian Menu for RM178.00++.

News Release 25-Aug-2009
New link between pre-eclampsia and diet
A chemical compound found in unpasteurised food has been detected in unusually high levels in the red blood cells of pregnant women with the condition pre-eclampsia.
These results are important because they suggest that the compound, 'ergothioneine', is an indicator of pre-eclampsia and may help scientists to understand the cause of the condition, which is currently unknown.
Scientists at the University of Leeds took blood samples from a group of thirty-seven pregnant women and compared the red blood cells from women with pre-eclampsia with the red blood cells from women with no symptoms.
In results published in the journal Reproductive Sciences, chemists found a significantly higher concentration of the ergothioneine - a compound made by fungi - in the red blood cells of the women with pre-eclampsia.
Ergothioneine is already well known to be made by micro-organisms that are commonly found in foods such as unpasteurised dairy products. As it cannot be synthesised by humans it finds its way into human cells exclusively through our diet.
The NHS does not advise against pregnant women eating fungi or foods such as unpasteurised dairy products which contain ergothioneine producing fungi. In fact scientific studies on animals highlight the benefit of ergothioneine.
"These results suggest that a higher level of ergothioneine is an indicator of pre-eclampsia," says Dr Julie Fisher, a chemist at the University of Leeds who lead the research.
"I would not recommend that pregnant women stop eating fungi. However, the high concentration of ergothioneine in the red blood cells of women with pre-eclampsia is a very interesting finding – the more we know about the chemicals involved in the disease the closer we get to understanding what causes it," says Professor James Walker, Professor of Obstetrics at the Leeds Institute of Molecular Medicine (LIMM), and a co-author of the research.
The symptoms of pre-eclampsia include high blood pressure, protein in urine and fluid retention and affects almost 10% of pregnancies after 20 weeks. Left untreated, the condition can cause a range of problems such as growth restriction in babies and even foetal and maternal mortality. There is no known cause of the condition.
"Ergothioneine is known as an antioxidant and antioxidants have been proposed to be helpful in reducing the risk of preeclampsia. It is therefore very interesting that we have found it to be in excess for women with the condition," says Dr Fisher.
The team used a technique which is based on the same science as MRI scans but which operates on fluids taken from the body, to identify chemicals in the red blood cells of pregnant women. The amount of these chemicals was found to depend on whether the women were healthy or whether they were suffering from pre-eclampsia. In previous studies the team found that chemical markers for pre-eclampsia also exist in blood plasma.
The research was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Medical Research Council, UK.

3. Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy specific condition, the causes of which are still not fully understood. The condition develops is around 10% of pregnancies and can only be reversed by delivery of the baby. It is the major cause of maternal and foetal mortality in developed countries. Symptoms and signs of the condition include headache, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, visual disturbances, confusion, vomiting. Pre-eclampsia can also lead to seizures (eclampsia) in around 0.2% of pregnancies and can be associated with complications such as coma and maternal death.

Watch: Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha demands PIB accreditation for digital journalists
'It is high time that the government should consider PIB accreditation for digital journalists.'
@manojkjhadu the only MP to voice for @PIB_India accreditation for Digital journalists who have been at the forefront of raising issues of environment, public health & social security.
I owe you gratitude, Sir 🙏🏼🙏🏼@SankarshanT pic.twitter.com/X8LbA8gCla
— Saurav_Kumar (@SauravK1890) December 9, 2019
On December 9, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and Rajya Sabha member Manoj Jha raised the matter of accreditation by the Press Information Bureau of India for digital journalists in the Upper House of the Parliament.
Digital journalism ensures that no story goes untouched and unverified, Jha said in his speech in Rajya Sabha. "The trust in digital journalism has risen so much that even the print and television (organisations) have opened their online content," he added.
Currently, digital journalists do not have the facility to get themselves accredited by the PIB. This prevents them from visiting Parliament during sessions.

METALEX VIETNAM 2011 saw its opening on October 6-8, 2011 at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center, SECC organized by Reed Tradex. The concurrent event was NEPCON VIETNAM.
First Time in ASEAN! "Titan" the Entertainment Robot which flied in direct from the UK gave a amazing performance on site.
METALEX is the largest exhibition in ASEAN. METALEX VIETNAM 2011 attracted around 200 companies from Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Korea, China mainland, Malaysia, Indonesia, USA, France, UK, Germany, Belgium, Italy, etc exhibiting products such as Machine Tools and Machining Centers, Sheet Metalworking, Welding Technology, Factory Automation, Pump & Valve, Material Handling, Mold and Die, Wire, Tube, Cable Technology, Tools and Tooling, Control Measurement and so on.
China Fastener Info(CFI), as the only one supporting media from China mainland attended the show again. Many visitors from ASEAN showed interest in the 6th Fastener Trade Show to be held on November 11-12, 2011 at Poly World Trade Expo Center, Guangzhou, China, after our introduction. Some even told us that CFI's magazine China Fastener Directory (CFD) was greatly helpful to them because they have long-term purchasing need for fasteners. For instance, manager of HOANG HA I.E visited CFI's booth and wanted to purchase welded nuts and rivet nuts. He hoped we could recommend some suitable suppliers to him, and told us that he would visit the 6th Fastener Trade Show.
Vietnam, as the developing country and a member of WTO, boosted a GDP of $103.6 billion dollars and a per capita gross domestic product of $1,174 dollars in 2010. The country has trade relationships with over 150 countries and regions. Vietnam's trade with other countries has been keeping rising which play an important role in the country's economy development. Machines, parts, product oil, steel, textile material, leather and piece goods are the main imports from China mainland, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, and Korea.
Vietnam has explored many industrial zones to meet the increasing need from the manufacturing, and attracted investment through favorable tariffs and renting. The annual rate of Vietnam's industrial production rose 19% with an annual growth rate of 30% for imported modern technology. The World Bank predicted that the industrial production of Vietnam will post over 14.5% gains in 2011. It should be noted that 6% of Vietnam's metal working and industrial products are domestically made, and the remaining are imported. Machine tools and parts take up the largest proportion of the imported products. Vietnam is the fifth largest motorcycle manufacturing strategy market in the world. And the motorcycle sales reached over 2.5-3 million units per year during the past five years. Therefore, Vietnam's part market is very promising.
Trade value between China and ASEAN keeps fast rising since China-ASEAN Free Trade Area (FTA) was established. The trade value between China and ASEAN has surpassed trade value between China and Japan till now in 2011. ASEAN has become the third largest trade partner of China.
The two parts go on to communicate with each and encourage investment and cooperation. China currently is setting up five Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone with countries of ASEAN. The preliminary amount of investment reached $800 million dollars or more. China plans to build such kinds of zones with each of the member of ASEAN within five years. Moreover, China keeps encouraging domestic companies to invest in ASEAN and strengthening their cooperation in textile, steel, machinery, shipbuilding, chemicals, information, auto, etc.
We also found that many of the exhibitors were machinery manufacturers. They were glad to know more about China's fastener manufacturers because their machines needed fasteners. They would consider importing fasteners from China if they could find suitable suppliers.


When it comes to the Pittsburgh Penguins, they are always doing something good. Whether it's as a team or as individuals. Ethan's final wish was to meet Sidney Crosby, who I also love. Finally Ethan received the news that he would get this opportunity. Sid personally called him last week and invited Ethan to practice on Friday. Sadly Ethan passed before he could make it to practice. But the way I see it, he got a part of his wish, which is way better than nothing at all. Not very many kids get to talk on the phone with Sid the Kid and I can only imagine the smile Sid put on that little boy's face. What makes me even prouder of my favorite hockey team is that Sidney Crosby posted a status on his Facebook page about Ethan. That just goes to show, in my opinion, that this wasn't being done for publicity. It was because he genuinely cared.
"How will the lady with the long hair and papers get the balloons?"
When I asked what lady, he said the one from the museum with all the papers. Still not sure, I asked who he was talking about once more.
"The lady with the long hair we saw when waiting in line at the place with the Jeep and old rides."
Last weekend we went to see the Stanley Cup at the History Center. While we were waiting in the line that never ended, there was a lady who worked at the center holding a bunch of papers. She was trying to get people to pay for a membership because then the wait to see the Cup would be much shorter. While we were waiting, we saw the first Jeep ever made and one of the original trains from the Racer at Kennywood. How the heck did he associate that trip with our balloon release?!?! After we came inside I had to go to Supah's blog and find her picture. I then explained that I put our pictures on my computer and would email them to that lady in the picture.
So there you have it ~ the good, the bad, and the what the heck. 2 of which I'm still trying to figure out.
sometimes, I still am WTHeck with my 6 year old daughter, but it is much less than when she were four, LOL It weird what triggers their associations.
We release our balloons yesterday. Much to my amazement Bubby (my 2yr old) released his without a fight. We did have another discussiona bout the balloons before bed time, but I know he doesn't get it.
Lol I think thats funny.. maybe he misunderstood Supahmommy for something yall saw there??
so sad just found out about Ethan.
So hard to figure out how kids' brains work!
This morning, Buddy and I got into a shouting match because he kept asking "which school HE would be going to". I had no flipping idea who "HE" was. I asked at least 10 times and he kept repeating the question. UGH.
It's so hard to communicate with the little ones!
Hahaha. Where do kids come up with this stuff? Love it.


It's a cocktail… it's a sorbet… it's both! And crueler than this lame opening, is that we have to wait two and half weeks to get our hands on the newest way of catching a buzz: in a boozy ice cream pint-off.
I actually do wish the boozy pint-off was a real, organized competition (hint, hint) but I'll happily settle for testing the limits of my own consumption. The soon-to-be-opened Tipsy Scoop peddles ice-cream sandwiches, sorbets and other treats boasting a near 5% ABV content. That's right, real, un-evaporated booze. In flavors like Rasberry Limoncello, Cake Batter Vodka Martini, Strawberry White Sangria and the all-time fave, Dark Chocolate Whiskey Salted Caramel. Can this article be a petition to open shop sooner?!
Oh, and it keeps getting better: given that we have to frighteningly inch our way towards midtown for a scoop of tipple, Tipsy Scoop is handing $1 scoops to the first 25 customers on opening day, May 7. And the first 50 customers can stumble on home with an #icecreamwasted tank and tote bag.
Melissa Tavss, the owner, has ice cream running in her blood. Her great-grandfather, Freddy Arcari, was president of the Ice Cream Alliance in Great Britain. Who knew this was a thing?! Just look that plaque!
About three years ago, a few videos of Tavss' ice cream went viral. At the the time, it was only retailing out of grocery stores, and the ice cream was being made at a space "somewhere up in East Harlem, under a train station." In mini-swarms, adventurous people made their way up there to try the stuff. Enough people showed up demanding scoops to convince Tavss to open a shop– and that's what she did.
Tipsy Scoop, E 26th Street, between 2nd and 3rd Ave.

It was recently revealed by Times Live that the station has fired Martinengo for his choice of words in referring to the Commander in Chief (CIC) of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema.

"This morning an unfortunate and completely unacceptable incident took place during the Breakfast Show whereby, during the course of the broadcast, a reference was made by anchor presenter, Sasha Martinengo, who said "[A]nd people still listen to this monkey," referring to Mr. Julius Malema.
It does not seem that Martinengo fully comprehends the implications of his choice of words, the disposition of race in this country and the context in which he used the term to describe Malema.
The former presenter took to his Twitter account to further express his thoughts on the whole situation, including what he thinks of the leader of the EFF.
"I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but I stand by what I said. Anyone, irrespective of their race, colour, creed, religion, gender who disrespects a woman is a monkey." he wrote.

At a packed rally in Edmonton on Sunday, Rachel Notley talked about massive momentum leading towards election day on Tuesday.
Notley continued to appeal to voters who might not have voted for her in 2015, but want to defend Albertans from the risk posed by a Jason Kenney government.
"It's not a UCP province, it's not a Liberal Party province, an NDP or Alberta Party Province," said Notley. "Alberta belongs to all Albertans. Albertans expect a government that fights for all Albertans."
Beyond surging polls and growing doubts about her opponent, Notley pointed to huge momentum on the ground.
The demand for NDP lawn signs has actually created a national shortage of orange ink. With more than 10,000 volunteers working for her re-election, Notley said her vision of one Alberta is bringing more people together.
With 2,000 people packed in Edmonton's Polish Hall, the rally mirrored support shown at a Calgary rally that saw 1,200 people packed in.
Notley was joined on stage by Paul Smith, a 66-year-old farmer and councillor in Strathcona County. Smith talked about working with Notley's government, about her strong plan for economic diversification and relentless fight for pipelines. After voting Progressive Conservative for four decades, Smith said he's standing up with Rachel Notley.
Notley said many Albertans are expressing doubt about Jason Kenney's economic record. A report issued this week by a risk analysis firm that says Jason Kenney would cause chaos and uncertainty for the Alberta energy sector while putting the Trans Mountain pipeline at risk.
Notley kicked off her speech with jokes about Game of Thrones, one of her favourite shows returning to the airwaves after a long hiatus.
Just like the HBO hit, the UCP campaign has been full of "shocking betrayals, intense internal fights, attacks on kids and the most vulnerable." Notley added that "just like in Alberta, the bad guys, the White Walkers, aren't going to win."
Before Notley took the stage, Jason Kenney was dodging media outside an event, forcing reporters to run after him. Reporters have been trying to get Kenney on the record about an RCMP raid on the business of Calgary-East Candidate Peter Singh, one of several ongoing police investigations into the UCP.
The risks of a Kenney government are real, Notley said, and go beyond economic instability. Because of Kenney's promises to hand over a reckless $4.5-billion tax break for corporations, public services will be slashed. Notley is promising to fight for jobs and steady public services while preserving Alberta's low tax advantage. Her economic plan will see balanced books in four years.
While momentum is building, Notley asked Albertans to ensure a brighter future for one Alberta.
"On Tuesday morning, get up a little earlier, make your coffee then go to the window," Notley said. "Take in that bright orange sunrise. Then get your vote-pulling shoes laced up and bring this one home!"


Well I had the best of plans go to Linda's garden identify her plants in order and was planning my week ahead when my daughter got seriously ill. I raced to stay with their son at Megan's home and her hubby took her to the hospital. She was there I am not sure how many days its been a blur and then she was transferred to a rehab hospital to begin the process of rebuilding her strength and walking. One step forward two steps back. This week while she was at the rehab hospital I have been trying to keep my mask of happiness around little Jack. What do you say to a two and a half year when he asks continually where his Mommy is.A day ago little Jack was able to talk to her for the first time on the phone and asked if she got a splinter if that was why she was at the doctor.
What a fun day Monday and Tuesday were. Monday I worked on one of my socks at my wonderful knit class .I am knitting the heel and as usual turning the heel is confusing.I really think that if your a beginner knitter you have to buy the easiest patterns known to man.I can hardly wait when my knitting becomes easier.I feel like sometimes the light bulb in my head does not go off when I have a new knitting pattern. I can feel so dumb I read it over and over til finally there it is the light bulb goes off in my head! Knitting is a challenge but oh well I need a challenge.
Tuesday as I lay in bed it was a really cold day so I kept looking at the ceiling and pondering do I lay here snug in my warm cozy bed or get up and drive down the hill to rug hooking group in La Mesa. Since I had nothing ready to work on I had to really force myself to get going.Well I am glad I went to the Country Loft it was as usual a learning experience.This group of ladies are always working on something new and I always get inspired.Marjorie made this great sheep using red heart yarn for the body. I love the way it turned out.
This is just a quick blog since I am running out tonight to a California native plant talk by Connie Beck.Unfortunately California is in a hundred year drought.We would have to have it rain every other day til May to get caught up with the rain we need in California.
I am following the example of my good friend Linda who has a native plant garden I am not looking forward to our water bills getting worse as the drought continues. Lack of water in California is not going to be getting easier so the best thing to do is plant the plants that were in California before we started irrigating every thing.
My girlfriend Debbie is in Missouri and was teasing me today on the phone.I guess it's cold in Missouri eleven degrees! Debbie was wanting me to blog something so this is for you Deb. Debbie is trying to keep her pipes from freezing!

Byrd is one of the very few cultivars with a large size nut and very early harvest date, usually ripening in mid-late September, about a week after Pawnee. Byrd is superior to Pawnee because it has better kernel color, no flecking of kernel, and a higher percentage kernel.
It also appears to have an advantage over Pawnee in that it is less scab susceptible. However, this is a new cultivar and scab may become an issue in the future. Growers should plant this cultivar with the thought that it will require full season fungicide protection to control scab.
Byrd is a precocious variety that will need fruit thinning as the tree matures, and it is well-suited to mechanical thinning. Byrd trees have a large cluster size and load up with nuts that are slightly larger or similar to Cape Fear. This will be a recipe for strong alternation if crop load is not managed by shaking them off in the summer. Nut size and quality have been very good. Shell thickness is very thin and kernels are well developed, leading to a high percent kernel.
Production was about 2.7 times greater than Cape Fear during the fifth year after planting and about five times greater during the sixth year. Percentage kernel is 60.7%, exceptionally good for pecans and higher than Cape Fear (51.6%).
Because of Byrd's early nut maturity, it should not be planted with late-maturing cultivars such as Stuart. It can be used in gardens or for commercial production.
Nut size slightly larger or similar to Cape Fear.
