Our final night in Vietnam we went to see a water puppet show and had our final group meal. It was pretty anti-climatic, but it's hard to top Halong Bay.
I have loved every second of my tour of South East Asia. I've met some truly amazing people. A few who I hope to be friends with for the rest of my life. I will honestly miss Becky, Sam, Adam, Rhys, Lee and everyone else too! It's been an amazing life changing experience. I feel like I've grown into a more confident, happier and braver citizen of the world. Every expectation I had for this trip were blown out of the water! Check out my next post for an overall review!
After a three hour drive from Hanoi we arrived to Halong Bay. To board our junk boat we had to catch a ferry. Our group was split up when a bunch of Chinese tourists invaded our ferry. So half of us had to figure out which boat was ours without our local guide! After searching we eventually found it.
Then we boarded our beautiful Chinese-style junk boat for an overnight cruise. Our ship was absolutely stunning. It was a five-star cruise ship. defiantly more than what I expected. The company is called Halong Sails. It would recommend them to anyone! Our room was the fanciest of the trip so far and the best was like sleeping on a cloud!
After a bit of sun bathing on the top deck we jumped into Kayaks to explore the lagoons and secretive mountains of Halong Bay. For a while we were alone in a beautiful lagoon surrounded by towering mountains. It was so peaceful and quiet. We paddled through the stunning blue waters and past playful monkeys. It was simply breath-taking. As we were leaving several tourist boats zoomed by us and into the lagoon. I'm very glad we had the place to ourselves while we could.
After kayaking the sun started to come out so we headed to the beach. While some people trekked to the top of a mountain I decided to take a nap on the beach. It was glorious and refreshing. I felt well rested which was important because that night we had a "Pirate Party"!
The party was wild! I drank my weight in vodka and even got to DJ. I got a bunch of people to dance by playing mega hits like "Grease" and Spice Girls. We even convinced the cabin crew to dress up. At one point the bar stopped keeping track and we were pouring our own shots!
I woke up early in the morning with only a mild hangover. But my hangover was amplified when we went to the VERY loud Sung Sot Caves. We had to wait in a long line and push through tons of tourists before getting into the caves. Our guide neglected to mention the winding staircases and long hike. So those of us who drank a bit too much the night before had a pretty rough time at the caves. But we had a great time laughing at each other's misery!
We arrived in our Coach to the very flooded city of Hue, Vietnam. Because of the rain we thought our cyclo tour might be canceled but the rain died down just in time! So we sat back and relaxed as we were biked around Hue and into the imperial city of Hue.
Next stop the Tu Duc Mausoleum. Our Local Guide showed us around the enchanting old palace. We learned about the emperors and visited the temples, pagodas and pavilions.
Then after a quick bus ride we visited the breath-taking Thien Mu Pagoda. We had the privilege to witness a buddhist monk prayer session. It was truly mesmerizing.
Today we explored a series of Hindu Temples called My Son. My Son is a UNESCO world Heritage-listed site that was built between the 4th and 14th century. It was like being in Indiana Jones! The temples still see so wild and undiscovered. They're tucked deep into the jungle and surrounded by vast mountain ranges and overgrowth of trees and vines.
On the ride back our local guide told us his fascinating life story. He was a intel solider and translator for the American Army during the Vietnam war. His story should be made into a movie!
This morning we flew to Hoi An. Hoi An is a charming down that is rich in history and culture. It blends French and Chinese influences in its art, architecture and food. We rented bikes and were led on a great tour through the town where we saw UNESCO World Heritage sites, adorable shops and a beautiful Japanese covered bridge that is 400 years old!
Adam and I pretending to be VIPs in the Airport and me in my new romper!
Then we went to Yaly Coture to have clothes made! I brought several pictures and designs that I wanted to have custom-made. I got two rompers and a stunning fringed purse made from genuine leather. Throughout the adventure of having measurements taken and picking fabrics I hung out with this great guy named Adam. We had a lot of laughs and enjoyed the experience immensely. It's impressive what they can make in just 24 ours!
After finalizing our designs we rode bikes to our cooking class at Morning Glory Cooking School. Our teacher was friendly, entertaining and a great teacher. We learned how to roll spring rolls, make Vietnamese pancakes, screwers and afterwards devoured all of our yummy creations.
Later we had to navigate winding roads and pouring rain to figure out how to get back to the hotel! It was quite an adventure. But eventually we made it home safe and sound!
Today was one of the best days of my life. Early in the morning we boarded a boat and sailed to an island of the coast of Nha Trang. On the way there we sang and basked in the beauty of the South China Sea.
Our first stopped was snorkeling off the island of Hon Mun.
The water was turquoise and clear. There were little reefs right off of the beach so it was very easy to see the corals and fish. There were tiny colorful fish and big strange-looking ones too. I snorkeled nearly the whole time while others sun bathed and started drinking.
After several hours on the beach we got back on the boat and the party started! Everyone was drinking and singing. I started downing my personal bottle of vodka! The boat really started "rocking". We had a party break and were provided a monstrous feast. After stuffing ourselves our ship pulled up beside two others and then we hopped the ship to have a group karaoke party and music show. Our local guides were hilarious. They sang cover songs and even made some of the guests get up and sing! It was a great time.
Then we stumbled back onto our own ship where we took shots before jumping into the water from the roof of the boat! They threw us tubes and then we hung out in the stunning bay. They even set up a floating bar for us to swim to!
Eventually it was time to head back to shore. So settled back into the boat. I put on my headphones, hung my feet off the side of the ship and reflected as we sailed back to Nha Trang. It was magical, beautiful and life-affirming.
By the time we got back to Nha Trang most people (including myself) were extremely intoxicated. We didn't want the party to stop so we headed to our hotel pool and continued hanging out. I fell asleep (okay passed out) and when I woke up it was night-time.
We went back to the Sailing Club for dinner where we reminisced about the adventures of the day. I loved every second of the day. It was truly amazing. I think it may be one of the best days of my life!
Yesterday we flew to the Vietnamese beach town of Nha Trang. This is a booming tourist destination full of pale Russians and rich beach goers.
We decided to treat ourselves by heading to Thap Ba Hot Springs for some relaxation and natural spring water treatments. I loved sitting in the warm mineral pools but the mud bath was the real highlight. I've never done anything like that before. The mud was cool and grainy. We spread it all over bodies to exfoliate and cleanse. After the mud bath we got into jacuzzi and relaxed with hot water and beers.
Later everyone got dressed up and we headed to a swanky restaurant right on the beach called Sailing Club. We ate on the beach under a full moon. I had a couple of beach cocktails and a fantastic steak. Later everyone grabbed bean bags and watched dancers as we hung out around the bonfire.

The Secret Legal Opinions Behind Public Decisions
NCUA is setting an anti-democratic precedent in its repeated efforts to keep private the legal opinions about its public regulatory authority. RBC is one example. The CUSO rule is another. Will there be more?
Aaron Pugh
At its Jan. 15, 2015, board meeting, NCUA approved in a 2-1 vote to reissue a revised proposed risk-based capital rule. Two of the board members chair Debbie Matz and vice-chair Rick Metsger used an outside legal opinion from the Paul Hastings LLP law firm to support their view that NCUA has the authority to make the rule as drafted. The third board member, Mark McWatters, has read the Hastings opinion but disagrees with its conclusions. McWatters presented a detailed rebuttal citing both statutory interpretation and Congressional commentary for his nay vote.
Initially, Matz said she wanted to release the opinion but the law firm would not permit it. In his statement, McWatters responded to the use of the opinion as follows:
Regrettably, I am apparently not permitted to disclose the opinion letter itself or discuss the substance, analysis or conclusions provided in the opinion letter, even though NCUA and, as such, the credit union community, has committed to pay $150,000.00 to date for the legal services rendered. If you are troubled by this misallocation of limited credit union resources and the complete absence of transparency, trust me, you are not alone.
In response to a Freedom of Information Action request, NCUA publicly released the opinion on Jan. 20. Click here to read to the Hastings opinion regarding NCUAs revised proposed RBC rule.
Not The First Secret Opinion
Although NCUA eventually released the legal opinion of outside counsel regarding the agencys authority when it comes to risk-based capital, the legal opinions of outside counsel regarding regulatory overreach in other instances remain secret.
At the Nov. 21, 2013, NCUA board meeting, then-board member Michael Fryzel clearly stated that the opinion of outside counsel underpinned his decision to support the CUSO regulation revisions: legal opinion was obtained, and I had an opportunity to read it as well as other board members and staff. My conclusion from reading it is we did have the legal authority. Click here to read more about that meeting and rule.
NCUA delayed its initial proposal for the CUSO rule changes for almost two years while it determined whether it had the legal basis to pass the rule. Concern regarding NCUAs statutory authority was widespread; however, NCUA did not publicly release the legal analysis it used to establish said authority.
Callahan & Associates issued a FOIA request for a copy of the opinion on January 15, 2014. NCUA deferred action on January 30, saying it needed more time to reply. After hearing nothing, Callahan wrote again asking for specific payment information and what firm NCUA used.
On March 21, NCUA replied that it paid the Washington, DC, law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd, Evans & Figel two payments totaling $31,365 from credit union funds. But it refused to send the opinion.
On April 4, 2014, Callahan filed an appeal with NCUA, stating in part:
Withholding this vital information (the legal opinion) upon which the NCUA Board and staff relied and without explaining to the public the legal reasoning behind the statutory authority is not only contrary to the open meeting process, but is inconsistent with the concept of transparent and open government authority. Without this opinion credit unions are unaware of the scope or basis for NCUAs presumed authority.
On May 7, 2014, General Counsel Mike McKenna invoked exemption 5 of FOIA, which permits an agency to withhold inter-agency or intra-agency memorandums or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency.
The letter then proceeds with two pages of case law that refers to this standard.
Im not unsympathetic to the notion that NCUA could and should disclose the opinion, says a former NCUA attorney. Not having seen it, Im not sure what the anticipated harm could be .
A Dangerous Precedent
Transparency is critical to responsible democratic governance. Referring in a public meeting to a secret opinion that cannot be disclosed compromises the whole process of an open meeting and jeopardizes the meaningful exchange of views. People can assert any opinion they want without observers having the means to determine which points of view might be valid.
Matz used the Hastings opinion in her opening remarks, before the other board members spoke, as a basis for her support of the rule. NCUA initially kept that report private. McWatters presented a reasoned and detailed contrary position. He made his arguments public.
How can credit unions, Congress, or even the general public know what to believe about NCUAs statutory interpretation and scope until they understand the basis of each board members vote?
In any organization, but especially in a government agency that has summary authority over the firms it regulates, keeping secret the basis for policy decisions undermines the essence of democratic government. To say a document supports ones position but then not make that document available is contrary to democratic government.
Moreover, it is antithetical to the role of a regulator making broad policy judgments and whose position relies on the trust and confidence of the credit union community to hide its logic from public scrutiny. Holding back these opinions gives the impression that board members are not confident in their own judgment and have something to hide.
Cooperatives are expected to practice and follow democratic principles that is an essential part of their design. Regulators that treat the industry like a theocracy in which only the regulators are entitled to interpret the sacred texts will not long last. Releasing the Hastings opinion is a first step. But what about the others?

Jenny missed going out to play. She missed the sunshine, the squirrels and her friend Peter. A few days ago her parents had told her that she wasn't allowed to go outside anymore and plunked themselves down in front of the television. They'd been watching the news constantly, and wouldn't let her have a turn to watch cartoons. They just kept watching the news as people cried and screamed and fires burned. When she tried to watch with them they would shoo her from the room, telling her everything was going to be ok and to go play with her toys, but she was sick of her toys. She wanted to play with Peter, the boy from down the street. When she asked they told her it was too dangerous to go outside and went back to watching the news. Jenny was bored, she wanted to go outside, would they even notice if she went out just for a few hours? She could probably go and be back before they even noticed. She tiptoed to the back door, quietly unslid the chain lock and slipped outside.
This is a statue that I've primed and repainted. I was inspired by an artist from Brampton by the name of David Irvine. You can see his work at http://www.gnarledbranch.com/. It's fantastic, stop reading my crap and look at it right now, then come back!
Alright welcome back...David had the brilliant idea of cruising thrift shops, yard sales and the like for old pieces of art that people have decided they don't love anymore. Then in the style of those pieces he adds his own spin on it. My personal favorite is 'Partners in Crime'. David's only rule is that he doesn't cover the original artists signature.
David inspired me to head out to my own local thrift shops in hopes that I would stumble across something to stir up my own creative juices. I came to the display cabinet of ceramic figures and got to thinking about all the warhammer paints I had kicking around. I collected quite a few of the warhammer pieces but something was always missing from painting them. I tried changing the colours around from the 'suggested' coding, but it still felt like cheating. Nor could I bring myself to spending my weekends in crowded game shops getting my geek on with kids half my age laughing at my inability to counter a simple dwarf regiment. So I ended up with a tupperware container full of paints with lovely names like 'rotting flesh' and 'bubonic brown'.
The ceramic figurines began to change before my eyes, in Jenny's case it was the akwardness of her stance. Others stared back at me with pale, unpainted faces with souless eyes (as you will see in future posts). These things are creepy...they just need to have that creepiness exposed!
So home they came with me, a small collection to start with and see how it goes. I've used some model clay to add a few details, primed them up and added my own paint job. Jenny is my first. I'm sure they'll get better as I go. I'm pretty happy with my first attempt though.
Love it dood, keep it up!

Colombia's signed peace agreement rests next to the bullet pen used to sign it. (Photo courtesy Presidencia de la Republica)
Final polls show 'yes' leads ahead of Colombia's peace vote
Jared Wade

The day after the historic peace-accord-signing ceremony in Cartagena, a new poll continues to show overwhelming support for the "Yes" campaign in this weekend's upcoming plebiscite vote to ratify the agreement.
Colombians will head to the ballot on Sunday, October 2, to make a simple "Yes" or "No" selection about whether the 297-page peace deal negotiated over four years in Cuba and officially signed yesterday will become law.
The "Yes" vote currently leads "No" by a margin of 55.0% to 36.8%, according to an opinion poll released today by Datexco and gathered between September 24-26. The support for both sides, among the 1,415 Colombians surveyed, has actually dropped since the company's last results were released around 10 days ago, with more people saying they are undecided or failing to respond.
The "Yes" side has dropped only slightly from its 55.3% support on September 15, while the "No" contingent previously sat at 38.3%. Of note, however, is that "Yes" has fallen sharply from the 64.8% seen in Datexco's September 9 poll results. "No" has surged from the low of 28.1% reported on September 9.
There is very little difference in the data along gender or economic lines, but regional differences are profound. In what the company classifies as its "Bogotá region" around the capital, 62.4% say they plan to approve the peace deal.
But the "No" vote reigns in Colombia's eastern and northwest regions. Less than a third support the deal in the east, with 60.9% planning to vote against the accord. The northwest doesn't have a "No" majority, at 47.0%, but it is still polling above the 42.1% support seen for the "Yes" side.
Another recent poll, by Ipsos, suggests an even bigger landslide. Its data shows "Yes" polling at 66% compared to 34% for "No" among likely voters nationwide. A little more than half (56%) of eligible voters surveyed said they plan to participate in the referendum, with older Colombians being more likely to go to the ballot.
A Gallup poll released last week was in line with Ipsos' findings. It showed 67% support for "Yes" compared to 32% for "No."
Due to a restriction from the National Election Council, these will be the final opinion polls conducted by the firms before the vote this Sunday. As is typical in the days surrounding elections in Colombia, the "ley seca" prohibition on alcohol sales will also be in effect on Saturday and Sunday.

A Holiday wish list for the sports enthusiast
We intended to visit King Tut's Hookah Lounge and "smoke it up" with some of the finest tobaccos from around the world. But King Tut's is only open late night now and we all know that Rothman's bedtime since the time change is 7:30 p.m.
We noticed just one block away that Sports Authority was having their grand opening at 510 Linton Blvd. in Delray Beach.
So, we said, "what the heck" and since we both like sports, we checked it out.
As the automatic doors opened and we walked in, Rothman stopped with a look of astonishment on his face.
"That's the song, 'The Final Countdown,' by Europe!" Rothman said. "It's hilarious, my favorite song!"
I pushed Mike to the sporting goods displays near the front door. Then, Rothman stopped in the aisle and stared.
"That's cool-minded. A ping-pong, billiards, conversion table," Rothman said.
I had to agree. The Scottsdale 7-foot Conversion Billiard Table is quite a bachelor pad special at $349.99. I suggested Rothman and his roommate split one.
Then, Mike found the only item he bought during our visit.
"I'm buying this 18-tennis ball pack for $17.99 because I'm going to beat you in tennis, Mr. DiPino. I'm challenging you in a match at Delray Beach Tennis Center in one month," Rothman said.
"I'll whip you like mashed potatoes," I thought.
Mike told me some of the neighborhood kids had been beating him up on his walk from his car to the front door. I had a great suggestion ... BOB!
BOB is a Body Opponent Bag lifelike training partner with a lifelike torso for boxing and kickboxing for $249.99.
"As soon as I get paid I'm going to come back and buy that," Rothman said.
Finally we checked out the baseball section of the store, which was enormous. I found a Manny Ramirez-model wooden baseball bat for $24.99. That was my purchase. Then, I heard Rothman squealing like a pig in a bath of mud.
"This is it! I've been looking for it! The Hit-Away Hitting Device! This is a game you can play just by yourself. Yes!" Rothman said.
He explained that the baseball has an elastic string attached that helps the ball to bounce back to its owner once it's hit.
"You just put it on the string pad and ... whack! It's amazing!"
The Delray Beach Historical Society is seeking residents, community leaders and local foundations to help with its $2 million building and educational endowment capital campaign to raise money for its History Learning Center.
The learning center will be dedicated to Ethel Sterling Williams, co-founder and first president of the historical society.
The society has raised $800,000 so far, which went toward the construction of the building set to have its grand opening early next year and a soft opening this month, said Stephanie Shipley, the group's executive director.
They are trying to raise the remaining amount "as soon as possible," which would go toward educational programs, Shipley said.
"We're now going to benefactors who've helped us in the past and people in the community who believe preserving the history enriches its value," said Robert Ganger, historical society president. "We're speaking to people who have supported us in the past, a combination of private citizens and some who have charitable foundations, who primarily want to benefit children or education."
The History Learning Center combines two buildings, the restored 1908 Hunt House and the archive collection. In 2007, the society acquired the Hunt House, which was a farmhouse. The Hunt House is 1,300 square feet, and two of the larger rooms, which look the way they did in 1908, will be used as a classroom for storytelling or lectures, Ganger said. The 550-square-foot archives will be climate-controlled and have a generator.
"It's an opportunity to see how people lived in 1908, and part of the experience is letting your mind wander, imagining living in a house 100 years ago," Ganger said.
Ganger said the programming can range from a variety of subjects, such as the history of agriculture in Delray Beach, farming, the women who created the infrastructure in the city, the first school or even a program on bugs.
"A great deal of energy was spent surviving mosquitoes and what they had to do when they lived before air conditioning and indoor plumbing," Ganger said.
The History Learning Center will help with the group's mission, which Ganger said is to have every child in the community visit the historical society and learn about local history.
"If over the course of 10 years we could teach about history of their community, we believe we will make them better citizens and care more about the place they live," he said. "The goal is to assure the young people of the community have a sense of who we are and how we tick, and the visitors who come here get an appreciation that this place cares. We preserve our past and are proud if it."

After dinner on the day we arrived, I walked out through our French window overlooking the valley of Xonrupt-Longemer to breathe the clean air. There were stars glittering in the sky above and a bright band of mist hid the little town below. Beautiful! The start of another memorable field trip.
We were staying in a youth hostel. In my younger days, youth hostels were welcoming but austere places. Here, our modern room had four beds (no bunks), en-suite shower with separate toilet, and under-floor heating. Breakfast and four-course evening meals were served at table, and we were provided with very generous packed lunches every day. No cooking or washing up for us to do - how things have changed!
The first excursion the next morning was to the Fossard massif. We had two guides, Benoît Marconnet, a doctor of geology from the University of Nancy, who had studied under Professor Claude Gagny, locally renowned for his work on the magmatic rocks of the Vosges, and Jean Paul Gremilliet, manager of the Terrae Genesis centre (more of that later).
We started near the little town of Cleurie, by examining a quite pale rock face of migmatite. It was a patchy, jumbled rock where the boundaries between granite and gneiss/schist were hard to distinguish. The granite had been dated by zircons to 330 ma, during the Variscan orogeny. The rock had been 5 km beneath the surface when it started to melt. We were told that it was packed full of rotten cordierite, a ferro-magnesian mineral typical of high temperature metamorphic grade. See Photo 1.
The OU had taught me about the British geologist George Barrow who identified the Barrovian series of metamorphic grades for regional metamorphism along the north Aberdeenshire coast in the late nineteenth/early twentieth centuries. However, now we were in the Vosges and here we were told about the Alsatien geologist Rosenbusch who was also a pioneer in identifying metamorphic rocks in the nineteenth century. Rosenbusch wrote a paper in 1877 on the contact rocks in the aureole of Alsace granites, providing an interpretation of hornfels and other contact rocks.
A short walk into the forest took us to a steep valley edge, a Variscan fault, above which we found a loose pile of dark stones. The stones came from a lamprophyre dyke that had been intruded into the migmatite during the Variscan, at 5 km depth. Further on we found the dyke in situ and examined the contact. There were spherulitic feldspar porphyroblasts in the dyke rock that were larger in the interior and smaller in the chilled margin. The porphyroblasts were about 0.5cm in diameter and had weathered proud, so that the rock was covered in 'bobbles'. The dyke contained phlogopite and biotite micas with vosgesite and alkaline feldspar. Prof. Gagny had tried to give this lamprophyre the name bussangite, although the name is not now widely used. There are four to five other contact sites in the region. See Photo 2.
We walked on to our next stop, known as 'La Charme' in the Corbelières wood, where we found a rock whose origin was more difficult to explain. It was ultramafic, a serpentinite, but it was full of pyrope garnets. There are only four other known locations in the world where you get such a combination, we were told – in Bohemia, Spain, Uzbekistan and China.
This serpentinite started out as peridotite in the mantle. It originated from depths of around 150 km, where there are very high temperatures, around 1200˚C, and high pressure. These are the conditions needed to form diamonds (but I don't know whether graphite has been found in the serpentinite). The peridotite came up to the surface slowly and in several stages, changing as it rose. Any diamonds would have been destabilised. Likewise, the peridotite had been hydrated to serpentinite during uplift. The pyrope garnets, too, had been altered, to kelyphite, but some of them had fresh centres. Kelyphite is produced when solid garnet and olivine react together while peridotite is rising from the mantle. Some of the elements found in this rock are platinum, chromium and sulphur. See Photo 3.
Another rare mineral, passaveite, was discovered here: the second find in the world after one in Siberia.
The outcrop was called an écaille in French, which I think roughly translates to a scale, shell or slice. There are nine of these 'slices' in the region, each having a different composition and each having been emplaced into the migmatite. The largest of them is 1.6km long and 100m across. There were different stages of uplift; one during the Caledonian and one during the Variscan.
The first hypothesis we were given for its formation was that this complex was part of an ophioloite. There are some other ophiolites in the Vosges. However, we were told that you don't usually find garnets in ophiolites.
The second hypothesis was that it was a deep mantle rock that had been brought to the surface by some other means. How, it wasn't known; a hot spot that hadn't erupted, maybe, but had lifted mantle rock into the deep continental crust. It could be called a 'window' into the mantle. 5-6km of uplift would have occurred as a result of erosion. Sadly, there has been no funding to study these rocks.
We left the woods and walked back into the sunshine. Beside a road, we came across the ruins of an old farmhouse, which had been made of blocks of peridotite – surely a very rare building material. There were also blocks of other local rocks from the Vosges scattered on the ground: blocks of Triassic sandstone (buntsandstein) and blocks of Remiremont granite. The sandstone was laid down in beds on top of the basement during the Variscan orogeny. Most of the mountains in the Vosges appear rather flat-topped because of these horizontal sandstones.
Further along the road there was a school named 'Ecole la Serpentine', which had a large block of serpentinite on its boundary wall above an information board about the rock. See Photo 4.
We drove higher into a large granite quarry to eat our packed lunches. The granite was the Remiremont granite, relatively fine grained and used for paving stones in Paris and the north of France in the 1870s.
The weather was clear and sunny, and there was a superb view over a flat-bottomed valley called the Cleurie plain and the little town of Saint-Amé. The valley had once witnessed the collision, rather than the confluence, of two glaciers. One of the glaciers had been forced around and pushed up the valley side by the other glacier. Evidence was in the moraines and the peridotite erratics. Although the valley had been glaciated, we were actually observing a Variscan peneplain that once contained an enormous lake.
We spent that afternoon in the Terrae Genesis centre. It is a dream combination of natural history museum and rock shop, with rooms where rocks and minerals are displayed, both local and from around the world. There are workshops in the basement where rocks are sliced and polished and thin sections prepared. My special memories are of giant orbicular rocks, a dark room containing rocks that fluoresce under UV light, rare maps and a spectacularly zoned labradorite. The gardens, too, contain carved granite sculptures and the external walls are hung with racks of polished stone samples. See Photo 5.
After dinner that evening, some people went into Gerardmer to see a replay of the rugby match between France and New Zealand that had taken place earlier in the day. It was a sad end for the French, but they were very magnanimous in their defeat and said that it wouldn't have felt right for France to have won against the powerful All Blacks. Rugby was new to me, but it seemed that both sides had played superbly.
Day 2, (not) the Rhine graben: a day of mists and U-turns … is that it?
I'm driving today. While I do like a bit of a challenge, I do hope it won't be as exciting a drive as yesterday – lunch took us effectively "off road", but in normal cars. The day's supposed to be about the Rhine graben, in which I have quite a vested interest since I live on a branch of it.
We start off by looking at a rhyolite dyke in schist and are told that this does not relate to the opening of the Rhine graben/rift, as the intrusion would then have been basaltic. This is therefore probably from a late phase of the Variscan orogeny. Closer inspection of the rocks shows some great dendrites, which allows Dave to get his hammer out and bash us off a few small pieces.
There then followed the first U-turn of the day.
We were then taken up to the top of the Hohneck (1,362m) where we were again told that, after the Variscan orogeny, the mountains were worn down to a peneplain, which was subsequently incised by glaciation. This time, and from this perspective, it was blindingly obvious as the tops of all of the Vosges mountains reach approximately the same height. It's a lovely view, with mist hanging in the valleys.
We find a large-grained pegmatite seam in a lump of fairly fine grained granite. The discussion on how it came about included a fascinating suggestion about putting a bottle of beer into the freezer, taking it out, seeing how it is still liquid, then giving the bottle a tap and watching the beer flash-freeze. Hmm – I think I have better things to do with bottles of beer, but it was a good illustration. Basically, something caused some melt left in the cracks of the cooling granite to crystallise quickly, possibly over as little as a few weeks, giving the larger crystals of the pegmatite.
Does going up a mountain and coming back down count as a U-turn? If so, that was number two.
The road took us down into the mists, giving a very atmospheric drive through autumnal vineyards (did we go round a roundabout twice? I'm sure it wasn't direct) to Turckheim, where we should have been able to look up to the granite massif, if it hadn't been veiled in low cloud. Although there was a very steep cliff face, we were again told that this was not due to the Rhine rift. Instead we were told about the vineyards, which are always situated on the slopes (can be up to 40% in gradient, necessitating hand picking and ropes), never on top of the massif nor on the valley floor because the requisite minerals are not present in those soils.
We are promised that we will, definitely, see evidence of the opening of the Rhine graben at the next stop, which turns out to be at Riquewihr. We park the cars and head off on foot – oops, not this way, lets try that road, oh, no, not there either, turn round ... So we are taken off to see something else: an outcrop of alternating clays and gypsum just outside the town walls . Interestingly, we are informed that the clays were laid down in turbulent water (mer agitée). Most of us look at each other in astonishment, though maybe it is just lost in translation, and means in contrast to the enclosed lagoons where the gypsum would have crystallised out as the seas evaporated.
After lunch outside, sat around a large tree, a coffee/comfort stop in the town and yet another U-turn – or two – we were finally taken to the vineyard where there was "proof" of the opening of the Rhine rift. Only in this one field can you find lumps of basalt dating to around 30-plus ma, when it is believed that the rift started to open. The volcano that would have extruded this has been eroded away; indeed, we were told that the basalt outcrop in the field has not yet been located, but no other fields around have this basalt in them, which rather made us question the validity of the "proof".
Given the rather vague information imparted over the day, it was obvious that today's leader had neither read the details that Elisabeth had sent in advance about our level of knowledge, nor been speaking about his area of expertise. Elisabeth therefore asked him to take us somewhere where he could comfortably talk to us.
We ended up in what seemed like primeval forest, with lush, ankle-deep mosses, ferns, mushrooms, rotting trees, evidence of wild animals (deer? wild boar? both?) … and an incredibly steep hill, which was even harder to climb as you couldn't rely on the trees to haul yourself up. (I kept expecting a rather cuddly Disney dinosaur in a red check shirt to show up, but maybe I watch too much telly.) We eventually – he explained that he didn't normally approach the workings from the direction he brought us – found a old manganese mine that was not fully worked out.
Thus ended a rather frustrating day, since we didn't really learn much at all to do with the Rhine graben, but the drive was fun even with all of the U-turns, we saw an awful lot of the Alsace, and the scampering through the forest was definitely an experience I for one won't be forgetting in a hurry.
Geological map indicating the 4 locations A, B, C and D we visited.
On Tuesday morning we were joined by our leader, Benoît Marconnet who proposed to visit four different places on and around the Massif du Champ du Feu. ( see A, B, C , D on the geological map).
The Vosges can broadly be divided into two different terranes that collided during the Variscan Orogeny. In Devonian and Carboniferous times, Gondwana cought up with Armorica and then collided with Laurasia which was a patchwork of previously collided Northern Terranes, the main ones bearing the poetic names of Laurentia, Avalonia and Baltica. All that built the super-continent Pangea.
The Northern Vosges relate to the Saxo-Thuringian Zone and is the domain of the crystalline nappes. The Southern part is in the Moldanubian Zone, which is the internal zone of the Variscan Mountain Belt with the highest-grade metamorphic rocks and extends southwards over the Massif Central.
The Massif du Champ du Feu is located just north of the suture line which is a fault system active in the Devonian and Visean ( 340 Ma). The movement was a dextral shearing and thrusting of the Moldanubian over the Saxothuringian zone. Locally it is called by the names of two towns in the Vosges "Lalaye Lubine fault" (Lalaye is at the bottom of the map, south of the Schists of Villé). This fault can be traced under the Parisian Basin towards south of Cornwall, changing its name a few times on its way. Eastwards the fault can be traced into Bohemia, where we had a great post-exam field trip looking amongst other things at Variscan features and tertiary rifts.
Our first stop (A) on Tuesday morning was in a granite quarry next to a village called Natzwiller which gave the name to that pinkish porphyritic granite. It is one of the plutons that was emplaced at the end of the Variscan orogeny and is part of what is called the Massif of the Champ du Feu. It encompasses also the different granodiorites and volcanics, starting in the south with the granodiorite from the Hohwald (in light pink) intruding the Silurian schists of Steige (in beige) and intrudes at the northern edge the Devonian-Dinantian sediments and volcanics (in green on the map).
Third stop (C). We walked back to the Auberge, it stopped raining and we decided to go for another walk through the forest. It took us a while to discover an outcrop at a place called Neuntelstein. And guess how that rock was called? Neuntelstein diorite! The name doesn't appear on the map, as it is the darker green spot in contact with the granodiorite of the champ du Feu. It is a porphyritique diorite whith Ca-plagioclase and hornblend amphibole.
Studies of the chemical composition of the different diorites and granodiorites by M. Deschamps show that they are all composed of the same minerals (plagioclase, Kfeldspaths, amphibole quartz and biotite), but not in the same proportions. The granites show also a similar composition and form thus with all the other plutonic and volcanic rocks a calc-alkaline magma series, which is consistent with subduction zone magmatism.
The study of the relation between the different bodies and their basic enclaves, revealed also that they were all emplaced sub-simultaneously with the most basic ones slightly later; which is opposite to what you might expect.
This outcrop was next to a "mountain view" location from where we had a look over the Rhine graben, "Fossé (rift) rhénan" on the map, which was in the mist that day. But we could still see the Black Forest as a thin dark line on the horizon. Before us the foothills of the Vosges peaked out of the fog; it is a very fractured, transitional zone on the margins of the rift. We were then standing at the top of the ridge flanking the graben.
Why all these granitic rocks outcrop are at that altitude is not related at all to the Variscan orogeny. At the end of the Permian this area was completely flat and dry. During the Triassic large rivers laid down a thick cover of sandstone, up to 500 m in the northern Vosges ( grès poudingue , buntsandstein) and eventually the Muschelkalk Sea transgressed . Bulging of the area started upper Jurassic and the down faulting of the central part was well active during the Eocene and Oligocene. The Jurassic and Triassic cover have been eroded away uncovering the crystalline massif. The thesis of M. Michon (2000, University Blaise Pascal, Clemont) shows a relation between the West European Rift systems, their associated volcanism and the Alpine orogeny.
Before driving to the last place of the day, we relaxed a while in the Auberge and had what ever warmed each one up.
Fourth stop (D). We started at the quarry in Eftermatten, a small place where we could see rhyolite embedded in schists. The rhyolite is located at the southern end, fingershaped, of the Kagenfels boddy that filled a large fissure of the massif at the end of the orogeny. It has been dated -331 Ma (Hess, Lippolt, Kover 1994). So gradually, the granite changed into an extrusive acidic volcanic rock. A slight contact metamorphism changed some minerals in the surrounding schists giving it a spotty look. The very first time studies were carried out on contact-metamorphism, was in this area, more precisely along the river Andlau, starting from the granitic pluton up through the shists, by Pr Rosenbush, a German geologist ,at the end of the 19th century.
The schists are called "Schiste de Steige", another local name. Thin sections revealed fossils, a few millimetres long of a type of protozoa that only lived in the Paleozoic seas, and trace fossils of trilobites and arthropods. They have been dated as Silurian.
The aim of our next stroll along a path up a river valley was to walk across a thrust fault, called " ligne de chevauchement vers le nord" on the map, where odler schists, Schiste de Villé, have been pushed northwards over the Steige schists. At some point we could observe the change, but we had to trust our guide's explanations.
These schists of Villé have different facies according to the sediments initially deposited. Although they experienced after deposition, moderate, green shist facies metamorphism, and folding, the most ancient traces of live in Alsace have been found in them: millimetre long sponge skeletons, green algae related organisms and some traces that are thought faecal. (Pr. Jean-Claude Gall, University de Strasbourg, Alsace des fossiles).
This dates vaguely these rocks as Precambrian to Ordovician and gives a picture of what that area looked like 500 Ma ago: a sea with its floor colonised by siliceous sponges, muds and sands accumulated on it, and plankton drifting in the upper layer.
I took a picture of that rock in the museum where it was at is best. The "chevron" folds characterises this rock. In situ they are consistent with a south-north compression and might be related to the Caledonian orogeny.
That's all, end of the day.
The last full day (Wednesday, 26 October 2011) of our geological exploration of the Vosges Mountains started with a guided tour of the area just north of Chevre-Roche. Our guide was M. Jean-Paul Gremilliet The topography was typical of much of the Vosges highlands, steep sided hills, mostly over 800 m, with a vegetation of mainly mature conifer. M. Gremilliet led us to a granite quarry dating back to the late nineteenth century (abandoned since the nineteen fifties) that had produced the granite widely seen in Paris and northern France.
Over 90% of the curb stones in Paris originated in the Vosges. The granite was also valued for tombstones; the fine grain and easily split rock has a specific direction that makes carving unproblematic. Drill holes for the black powder used to split the granite during excavation (dynamite was too violent, Jean-Paul explained), were clearly visible in some slabs. He also pointed-out decompression joints that occurred as erosion removed the top of the granite pluton. Markings on the rocks enabled us to deduce the direction of the last glacier.
The remains of trenches from the First World War were still clearly visible near the summit of the hill. We eat our pack lunches overlooking a landscape that 4 000 years earlier has been a lake dammed by a moraine to the west of the valley. The flat tops of the surrounding mountains are the remains of the pene-plaine that existed prior to the graben formation.
Historians have established that the lake had disappeared by the time of the Roman occupation. On our descent we crossed a grass covered peat field once the source of fuel for local farmers.
After a 20 min walk on the flat surface of a former glacial lake, we eventually reached the frontal moraine.


An innovative self-locking mechanism for securing the pilot drill eliminates the need for set screws or a pilot drill that must depend on a taper fit to stay in place. By using a unique ball locking operations that hammer operator has no need for extra tools or knockout pins for removing the pilot drill after the hole being drilled is located. Ideal for horizontal or vertical drilling in masonry and concrete materials.

Andrey Drozdyuk had driving lessons in Dublin and passed in Finglas.
We won't patronise you with stories of our grand pass rates. Any driving school that claims to have a 98% passrate or similar is quite frankly lying and could not prove it. Why try to mislead the public? Because their real reputation is poor and out of a desperation and want to get their hands on your hard earned euros, they try to manipulate you with fake stats. Here is the thing. Because of unforeseen circumstances or technical issues with vehicle a minimum of 10% of students fail the test on average. By this statistic alone you can see that only a 90% pass rate would be achievable on average and we can assure you this is seldom the case. Fair warning, don't be fooled by these common place, outrageous claims.
Eimear Smyth had driving lessons in Terenure and passed in Rathgar.
Passed my test today and its all thanks to Richard at RSA. He taught me from the very start and made sure I learnt how to drive properly and didn't pick up any bad habits while learning. All the instructions given were very clear and easy to follow. I was always a very nervous learner but Richard built my confidence in my driving and always made sure I was progressing and improving my driving skills. He is a very calm and patient instructor which makes it easy to relax and really focus on improving your driving skills and becoming a safe driver. My mum and I were so impressed that as soon as I had finished my lessons with Richard we booked lessons for my sister to learn with him. I would recommend RSA driving school to anyone and everyone.


Turns out, the product seen above is called the "Unholey Bagel" and was released by SJR foods in 1997. Larry Baras is credited as the inventor by some sources.
However, A U.S. Patent for the idea of a cream cheese filled bagel was issued on May 7, 1996 to a man named Alvin Burger. It is unclear what Burger's involvement with the "Unholey Bagel" is, but he was working to patent the idea around the same time, after he lost the rights to a product he invented called the "Bagel Ball" while he was the owner of Roasters & Toasters.
Alvin Burger holds a U.S. Patent not just for the idea of a bagel pre-filled with cream cheese, but for the boiling process, steaming process and forming process involved in making it. He is also credited with founding Al's Famous Filled Bagels, and for creating Bagel sticks and New Orleans style bagel sticks.
For those who did not see my earlier update, there is an article from Chicago Business which may answer a lot of people's original questions. It appears, based on the article, that Kraft's new Bagel-Ful's are intended to be bagel STICKS, not full bagels. Also, they are intended to be microwaved, not toasted.


Don't mess with Debra Messing!
Born in 1968, Debra Messing has had a stellar acting career. Her breakthrough role on the NBC sitcom Will and Grace (1998-2006) led, via a series of supporting roles in obscure movies and one-shot performances on various TV series, to her triumphant current gig in, um, the retread of the NBC sitcom Will and Grace (2017-).
Messing wasn't the only political activist on the red carpet. Far from it. The Golden Globes ceremony, after all, was the first major Hollywood awards show of the season since the industry's biggest scandal of all time kicked into high gear a few months ago, with one powerful industry figure after another being brought down by accusations of sexual harassment and abuse. The result has been a hashtag campaign – #metoo – on behalf of the victims and, at the Golden Globes, a purported display of solidarity in the form of black gowns (for the women) and stylish "Time's Up!" buttons (for the men), meaning that the era of male sexual predation in Hollywood was supposedly over.
Almost all of those attending the ceremony, in short, were – at least in their own minds – bold heroes, tireless activists. But none of them outdid Messing. More on Thursday.
Imagine the pride of a father who – having made a career as an unscrupulous world-class professional creep – lives to see his son, at a still relatively tender age, surpass his own monumental record for moral iniquity.
Whom else could we be talking about here but the execrable Sidney Blumenthal and his evil spawn, Max?
We've already looked in on Max a couple of times in the last year or so, noting the breathtaking rapidity with which he rose to the very top of the list of American Jews who make a career out of vilifying Israel (and, as a corollary, defending and justifying Islamic terror). His 2013 book Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel was so repulsive that even Eric Alterman, hardly an apologist for Israel, wrote that it "could have been published by the Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club (if it existed)." Max supports the BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) movement; he's repeatedly accused Israel of apartheid and equated it with Nazi Germany; he's even gone so far as to cheer, in a talk at the London School of Economics, a massacre of IDF soldiers in 2014 by members of Hamas.
No one should have been surprised, then, by Max's disgusting response to the death, on July 2, at age 87, of Elie Wiesel – the Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner who provided, in his 1960 memoir Night, an indelible account of the experience of Auschwitz, and who over the decades became an internationally respected prophet of decency and humanity, an eloquent critic of anti-Semitism, racism, and other forms of prejudice who, at one moment of crisis after another, reminded the world where its moral duty lay.
Elie Wiesel is dead. He spent his last years inciting hatred, defending apartheid & palling around with fascists.
Elie Wiesel went from a victim of war crimes to a supporter of those who commit them. He did more harm than good and should not be honored.
Better late than never. But it will take far more than this one incident, one suspects, for the Clintons to cut loose Max's dad, whose utter lack of the kind of conscience that Wiesel embodied has made him the most useful of factotums.

The comic reimagines the cast and setting of the cartoon to reflect modern fashion trends and is intended to be more reflective of the issues young adults face in the present day
Yet Jem and the Holograms has too few of these highs, getting bogged down in meandering, conventional plot points and dumb dialogue. Whereas Chu's Step Up 3D leaned heavily on the blissful physicality of bodies in motion, his latest only hints at the kinetic visuals in Jerrica's digital playground

I've been blessed to have many role models in my life — People who appeared at times in my life when specific and important life lessons happened.
As one of my mentors always says, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears".
When I look back through my life and see the path that has developed, it wouldn't have been possible without the amazing mentors I have had. One mentor, Dr. Paul Anderson, is referenced a lot in my work and life.
He is one of the pioneers and medical innovators of integrative oncology and a wealth of information for many diseases and chronic illnesses out there.
Anderson's chapter was about using failure to achieve success and meaning in life. I have had a lot of successes and failures as an entrepreneur, a health care provider and being human, in general.
There's a lot of important information in his short chapter, so to honor his work, I am going to review the five steps to overcoming failure.
In life, it's not "if" we fail, it's "when" we fail. It is how we respond to failures that truly define our character and our overall path in life.
Here are the steps to move through failures to success, according to Anderson. I have included a quote from him and commentary from myself.
Be persistent: "It is during our worst failures we are often being taught our most profound lessons." My patient population primarily is the chronically ill, mysterious illnesses and oncology patients. Some of these patients have seen 10 to 30 providers trying to get better, but they are frustrated because they usually are given a medication and are still not well. Being a detective for these tough cases is not easy. There are dead ends we meet and we have to adjust the plan accordingly. When both the patient and I decide that giving up is not an option, amazing healing takes place.
Informed boldness: "Do your homework and act." Anderson mentions in this section that a lot of people either are bold and act misinformed, or they are informed and wait for others to act. Being in integrative medicine, I know that taking action is important. Medicine and the way we practice medicine is changing every day. It takes 10 to 20 years for medical books to change and adapt to new learning. When you have patients that cannot function each day because of their illness, or they have cancer, they do not have years to wait. So being informed and taking action, for me, means looking at the research, and most importantly, looking at my patients. If they are doing well with an out-of-the-box treatment therapy I'm prescribing, I'm going to go with that. At the end of the day, my life is devoted to advocating for my patients and taking action in order to help them heal.
Remember the words "you are never": This is one of my favorite steps. If we wake up each day and remember we are never done learning, never done trying, never done failing, never in possession of all facts, we can realize every day is a learning opportunity. I've always said if going to school could be a full-time career, I would do that. I love learning and realize that I do not have all the answers. But each day I have the opportunity to learn.
Pass it on: "What good is an invention or innovation if nobody else knows about it." I have a passion for integrative health that runs through my veins. When I see people that have been sick or in pain for years become healthy and normal functioning individuals, my passion intensifies. I try to stay active on Instagram (@TheHealthyPractitioner), other social media sites and this newspaper, passing on information that can help people at home take action to their health.
I want to end leaving the words that Anderson wrapped up his chapter with: "Successes come at too high of a price not to share them and better the world we live in. Without persistence, being curious, informed boldness, the truth of 'never' and passing it on, we cannot move from our inevitable failures to success".

A Tribute to Bruno | For Animals Inc.
Although I was never fortunate enough to know him very well, Bruno always reminded me of Shakespeare's magnificent, roistering knight Sir John Falstaff. Like Falstaff, Bruno had a tremendous appetite for all the good things in life: a deep bowl of meaty kibble, a soft and welcoming lap, and the smell of earth-thaw and melting ice when spring finally rolled round the shelter once more. Though scrawny and beat-up when rescued by For Animals five years ago, Bruno quickly discovered the joys of ready dry food and swelled to his full eighteen pounds. He asked little more of existence than its simplest pleasures, and he gave back abundantly in love, charisma, and élan to all those whose lucky paths he crossed.
I'd met Bruno any number of times before during my various trips to the shelter, but I first got to know him well in the early winter months of 2014, when I was coming by most every Saturday to spend time with Olivia Tusca, featured here. While Bruno had run of the shelter, inside and out, during the warmer seasons of the year, he stayed in the detached garage out back when it was cold out, comforted by a toasty space heater and by the aforementioned kibble. The garage was his fiefdom, and like a benevolent feudal lord, he governed its other inhabitants with magnanimity and great affection.
If I was there to comfort O.T., then Bruno was there to make sure I received comfort in turn. His presence reassured me every time I visited that it would all be all right, that O.T. would mend from her various traumas, and that nothing ill would ever possibly transpire as long as Sir Bruno was guarding the castle.
O.T. did indeed recover, and came home to live with us, and I lost track of Bruno until this September. On the 11th, my wife emailed me at the school where I teach, just before a faculty meeting I was supposed to chair, to let me know that he had slipped loose of his long, full life at last. Theresa had found him sprawled out and seemingly asleep on the pavement outside his beloved garage; it was a beautiful early-autumn day, and his soft bulk was still warm.
And he was magnificent, in every sense of that word. Bruno was a great fat roisterer among cats, a massive paragon of affection and lordliness who ruled that detached garage and its environs at For Animals like a benevolent Tudor. My wife always called him "Uncle Bruno," and that fit him; like one of those rotund, avuncular Zen masters out of legend, he was never a bully, always a gourmand and a Zorbaesque sensualist. Bruno taught many a young kitten, and perhaps even a few humans, how to savor the simple and essential pleasures of life.
Though I did not know him as well as many, I still miss him terribly. Yes, it was his time, and yes, he made as good a death as anyone can, but the world is simply a colder and less generous place now that he's not in it.
Remember, please, as you read this that animals in their grace and enlightenment enrich this life as much as humans do. (I know I don't need to tell you that, but it's good to remind myself.) And remember Bruno, even if you never got to know him. Like Falstaff, he was one of the greats.
