It is amazing how quickly the plants start to grow once the weather warms up. I am not sure why but it is shaping up to be a gorgeous spring in the garden with more flowers and colour than normal. In fact, bulbs which were planted and never gave us anything but leaves are surprising us with blooms this year.
and of course, the dandelions are back. I'll need to start the back breaking work of digging them out.
How the Garden Grows . . .
It was a bit of anticipation for us, after one of the worst winters we can recall with crushing cold temperatures, we were not sure what might still be living under the surface of the soil. We seemed to have skipped spring - cold - a bit of mild weather - and then full-on HOT! The garden has grown quickly. It looks like most everything has made it back except for a rose bush, a few heirloom varieties of coneflower, and the lavender took one hell of a beating.
This is where I sit and contemplate the morning most days. . .
The pond is gurgling away - sadly the resident frog did not survive the winter and his corpse, once frozen in the ice, did not survive the cat next door. On one hand . . . ewwwww, yet on the other hand I didn't have to deal with a decomposing bullfrog!
The peonies from my grandfather's garden are doing very well this year - with the heat I don't anticipate the blooms will last long.
The shade garden seems to expand a bit every year . . .
I LOVE this new type of salvia we found this year . . . it's unusual to have a red and white flower instead of the deep red you usually see. We figured it was patriotic for we Canadians . . .
This is a close up of the garden art I bought Paul for our anniversary - two birds on a wire.
Paul picked out this basket - I generally refuse to have these white baskets hanging in the garden because the white plastic is garish but we both really liked the colour combination of the two types of geraniums.
And finally. . .the nasturtiums are in full bloom - love these edible flowers!
This week's Photo Hunt theme is 'fave'. I assume that fave is a derivative of favourite so I am going with one of mine. . .
This is my favourite place to sit and unwind at the end of a long day!
This was the sky tonight after our company had left for home. Paul and I were sitting outside on the terrace, the bats were flitting about catching bugs (I hope), and the sky went purple and red. . .
If you look closely you'll see one of those bats in flight.
I knew I should NOT have gone to Art in the Park sponsored by the Oakville Art Society on Monday. Or at least gone unsupervised. Having just returned from a vacation and with a weekend away coming up in two weeks followed by another weekend away in 2 more weeks followed by ANOTHER weekend away in, yes, you guessed it . . . two more weeks the last thing I should be doing is spending money on art!
I had received an e-mail from one of my favourite artists telling me that she would be there and she had some new paintings I might be interested in. As well, the brother of a family friend was going to be there and I had never seen his work. In a sense, I HAD to go.
Vicki was right, she did have some paintings I was interested in. I only bought one but that was enough to wreak havoc on the budget.
Love, life and shapes found in nature are my immediate inspiration. The whimsy and delight and colour of the natural world as expressed by The Group of Seven, Ted Harrison, and Norval Morrisseau have remained an inspiration for me since I began painting.
My paintings BURST with BOLD, VIBRANT colour , STYLIZED shapes are full of energy and joy. My black outlines create the energy the shapes describe the story and as I finish each piece I am in "awe" of having done it.
I hope to leave this world a little brighter than it was.
Well, she has certain left OUR world a whole lot brighter!
It isn't a great photograph but you can see the iconic Canadian image - rocks, pine trees shaped by the hard wind, and a vibrant splash ofwater.
(just tilt your head, you'll be fine. LOL).
We were surprised when we saw this piece of hers because it was NOT her usual style at all. We bought it for that reason alone.
I've been sick of the old kitchen table for some time - it was bulky, clunky, falling apart, and bright green.
In short, it needed to go.
It had served 15 good years since we brought it home, put it together ourselves, and ate many a great meal at it.
When we got our fancy new coffee table I got even more sick of the kitchen table. Problem was, who has a spare $ 4000 for a handmade table?
There was no way our table was going to be imported from China and we were NOT going to put it together ourselves.
When we were in Stratford a few weeks ago we walked into a furniture store and walked out considerably poorer. Our new table was handmade by local workers. The wood was from local trees even.There was nothing from China included with this table. It was expensive but we fund one we liked on sale so it wasn't as bad as it might have been.
Last week it was finally delivered . . .
Now we have a new spot at which to enjoy some wonderful meals. Better yet, it seats 6 so we can have company there instead of the more formal dining room.
Generally when we have bought furniture in the past we went for price and look. We ended up with furniture that we got bored with rather quickly and in some cases pieces that we had to put together ourselves.
When we recently decided to buy a new coffee table for the family room we decided to do things a bit differently. We wanted real wood. We wanted something that wasn't mass produced by machines. We did not want something that required assembly by us. We wanted a piece of furniture that was produced locally.
This was our old coffee table.
It was handmade in 1961 as a wedding gift for my parents. I guess that this makes it an antique. There is a story here - it was made by friends of my grandparents from wood that had been reclaimed from Hamilton City Hall when it was demolished back in 1960. It was historic even!
Good friends suggested an independent furniture shop nearby that specializes in unique, handcrafted pieces. They warned us that it was not inexpensive.
We set out after Paul got off of work, had some lunch at a REALLY good Thai restaurant, popped into the store, and in about 30 minutes I was handing over my credit card.
Our new table was delivered last week.
This is made from 100 % naturaly wood (nothing pressed or layered here). It was made by a small Ontario company about 2 hours from where we live. All of the component pieces are from Canada and NOTHING came from China. It is well-made - the joints are precise and nothing is held together by staples like you see in a lot of furniture today.
As I said, it was expensive but I would rather pay a more to support a local company when I can (just like I'd rather pay more for locally grown produce).
It did NOT take Dante long to make himself at home.
It's no secret to those who have been reading this blog for a week or more than I enjoy travelling. Lately I have been on the road a lot for work. no matter how much you enjoy traveling there is nothing like coming home and relaxing in a big comfortable chair on the terrace with those you love . . .
It is amazing how quickly the garden is growing - especially given how dry it is - with no winter to speak of and a relatively rain-free spring we're going to be in for a rough summer if it continues. So far things are well ahead of schedule.
Last weekend Paul and I popped by mom's to help her with her garden. She decided that she was getting rid of some of her garden art - de-hoarding for the future condo move. This statue was my grandfather's and I think mom was tired of lugging it out every spring and packing it away int eh fall. We were happy to give it a home!
I am a bit out of sorts today . . . this has nothing to do with the bottle of wine Paul and I consumed yesterday or the giant bag of soil we dug, wheelbarrowed, and spread throughout the gardens (well, perhaps a bit of the latter). Instead it is the new neighbours.
I can't call them new since they have been there since last July, however the 'old' neighbours were there for 10 years so these two shall be 'new' for awhile.
The old neighbours were a bit trashy. Their daughter, an only child, was spoiled rotten and terrorized the other children on the street. They were loud. They had a hot tub and used it late at night.
They were also thoughful - Chris often cut our lawn or shovelled our driveway. Christine asked for gardening advice (sadly she didn't take it, but she asked). Alexa, well, she was the nastiest child I have ever seen, no sugar coating that.
We were a bit happy when we saw a for sale sign to up on their front yard - the late night parties in the hot tub tended to be loud and Paolo is a light sleeper.
We cheered when the hot tub got loaded up on a truck and was driven away.
The new neighbours were young. They kept to themselves. Fine, so do we.
Not long after they moved in a truck pulled up and a new hot tub was delivered.
All summer long they had LOUD parties, in, out, and around the hot tub. They frolicked naked in and around the hot tub. They tended to swear a lot when they were drinking. They drank a lot whilst enjoying the hot tub. They were loud when they are drinking.
We sleep with our window closed a whole more now than we ever did in the past.
I don't need to remind you that sound travels. We live in a neighbourhood with a lot of houses and hundreds of children. These children are now exposed to loud language the likes of which would have your grandmother running for the soap and your grandfather the belt.
Last night when Paul and I were enjoying a quiet drink on the terrace after a long day of working around in the garden, we heard the sounds of guests arriving next door. Paul looked at me and said 'it's going to be a bad night for sleeping'.
I have no idea how 8 people could possibly make such a racket. Apparently someone was celebrating her upcoming surgery which would result in 'new boobies'.
There was considerable discussion about said boobies pre and post surgery.
It wasn't long before the entire neighbourhood knew far more about those boobies than anyone could possibly want to know.
I went to sleep at 10. I am a very deep sleeper - I once slept through someone robbing the house. Once I'm out I hear very little. Paul heard it all. Apparently they were at it until after 2 am. There was loud screaming, laughter, and swearing. Glass was broken. those boobies were discussed more than the state of the economy.
When I woke up I looked out into their back yard - it looked as if it was a tornado site. Clothing, towels, and bottles were strewn everywhere.
We started to hear sounds from next door at about 10 am. There were many complaints about sore heads. It made me sad that I had just cut the lawn on Friday because a loud lawn mower might have been good for them.
Nope. None to be had from me.
Moral of the story - if you have kind neighbours who are a titch trashy - be happy! If they move you can go down the ladder rather than go up it.

[MINI-SUN]
Paging Doc Ock
Physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison built a swirling orb of plasma they're calling a "miniature Sun" — so they can study how stars work up close.
The mini-sun, complete with its own powerful electromagnetic field, will help the scientists understand solar wind as well as how the real Sun occasionally blasts out plasma, according toSpace.com. The mini-sun has been in the works since 2012, and could help scientists gain a better understanding of some of the Sun's more mysterious behavior.
Our sun is a constantly-swirling ball of superhot plasma. Sometimes, some of that plasma gets ejected out into the cosmos. But the mechanics of how and why it happens aren't fully understood, according to the team's research, published this week in the journal Nature Physics.
The mini-Sun recreates those ejections through what Space.comcalls "plasma burps". The first time the Big Red Ball burped up, it came as a surprise to the physicists. But since then, the ejections have given the physicists a hands-on way to understand how the Sun behaves and why.

Four Basic Elements
chaosophia218
In classical thought, the four elements Water, Air, Earth, and Fire frequently occur; sometimes including a fifth element or quintessence (after "quint" meaning "fifth") called Aether in ancient Greece and India. The concept of the five elements formed a basis of analysis in both Hinduism and Buddhism. In Hinduism, particularly in an esoteric context, the four states-of-matter describe matter, and a fifth element describes that which was beyond the material world. Similar lists existed in ancient China and Japan. In Buddhism the four great elements, to which two others are sometimes added, are not viewed as substances, but as categories of sensory experience.

I am currently in the planning stages of a book seeking to detail Maersk's place at the forefront of container ship design. The bulk of the book will contain analyses of the E and Triple E classes of ships, although other cutting edge Maersk ships shall also be referenced as part of a "prelude" to the E Class.
I would very much like to invite photographers to collaborate with me on this piece of work. I will require a selection of photographs of Maersk E and Triple E class ships to illustrate the text. I am particularly interested in any pieces of photography showing vessels under construction or dry-docked.
I will also require a small handful of photos showing the 6000 TEU Regina Maersk Class of ship from the late 1990s.
All photographs used will be accompanied by the appropriate credits and acknowledgements to the photographer.

New poll: Trump or DeSantis would defeat Biden in 2024
by WorldTribune Staff / 247 Real News January 22, 2023
Former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis would defeat Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, according to a new survey.
Joe Biden would lose to former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a potential 2024 matchup, a new poll found.
The The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll of 2,050 registered voters released on Friday found that 46% would support Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election, with 41% favoring Biden and 13% unsure. Trump's 5-point edge was identical to the poll's December results.
Biden would lose to DeSantis by a narrower 3-point margin, the survey found. The two-term Republican governor, who has not announced a White House bid, would beat the Biden by 42% to 39%, with 18% undecided.
The poll shows that nearly two-thirds of those polled, 65%, said Biden should not run for re-election at all.
Biden's still-unfolding classified documents scandal appeared to have little impact on the new poll, which was conducted Jan. 18-19, less than a week after the Department of Justice named a special counsel to look into the matter. The same survey last month showed a 45%-40% Trump lead, while DeSantis led Biden by 4 points, 43%-39%, last month.
Trump remains the clear favorite among Republicans, according to the poll, with 48% supporting him in the 2024 Republican primary race. But DeSantis, in second place with 28%, gained 3 percentage points since the poll's December edition.
All other potential Republican candidates could not crack the single digits, including onetime Trump Administration figures like Mike Pence at 7%, Nikki Haley at 3%, and Mike Pompeo at 1%.
The survey, a weighted online sample drawn from a panel assembled by Harris and Harvard's Center for American Political Studies, does not report a margin of error.

Bryan Tabbert (center, top) is the Green Devils' new volleyball coach after serving as the JV coach for two seasons.
CHRIS ZOELLER The Globe Gazette
High School volleyball: Tabbert prepares to take the reigns at Osage
LUKE A. GARZA Luke.Garza@globegazette.com
Luke Garza
Expectations are high for Osage's volleyball program, and that doesn't change with the departure of a longstanding coach.
After serving as the Green Devils' JV coach for two seasons, Bryan Tabbert is assuming varsity duties at Osage. Andie Olson, who concluded her 13th and final year at the helm in November, amassed a record of 266-206 on her way to three state tournament appearances.
Also serving as a varsity assistant under Olson, Tabbert soaked up much of Osage's success from the sidelines. His experience coaching the JV team is valuable because of his familiarity with the girls.
Tabbert is looking forward to the challenges and thrills of leading a distinguished program, even after graduating from rival school Saint Ansgar in 2002.
"I grew up on the other side of the rivalry, so it's pretty cool to be back in Mitchell County and at Osage," Tabbert said. "Obviously I get a lot of flak from Saint Ansgar people, wearing green now instead of red."
Tabbert has joined a long list of family members who have Osage ties, including his late grandfather, Jerry Meitner, who graduated in 1954. His father, as well as seven aunts and uncles, are also Osage graduates.
His coaching career begin in 2010 at Woden-Crystal Lake-Titonka. Tabbert then spent 2011 serving as Ventura High School's middle school and freshman coach. He coached the next five years (one as an assistant, four as head coach) at North Butler, totaling a 46-81 record during his final four years.
Please call (800) 433-0560 to upgrade your subscription.
Olson said Tabbert's experience as a head coach will aid the beginning of his tenure in a new position at Osage.
"He's got a good feel for the kids and the families and the expectations and our schedule, that kind of stuff," Olson said. "I think it's been a good transition, probably. I don't know that this would be an easy job for somebody without any background and experience … I'm a little biased, but I think it's one of the elite programs in the area, for sure."
Among Tabbert's challenges: replacing seven seniors, including setter Rylie Olson. Thankfully, Tabbert has coached Ellie Bobinet, who figures to fill Rylie's role next season.
"We always have that plan in mind, what girls are gonna play what spot," Tabbert said.
The move will allow the Green Devils to capitalize on some continuity. Not only is Tabbert privy to the culture and expectations in Osage, but he's also knowledgeable about the girls in the JV program who will join the varsity team in the coming years.
In addition to the on-the-court support, Tabbert knows he has plenty of family members who are happy to see him in green.

All brides want to look at their very best on the big day so visits to the gym, running, swimming and dieting are all very popular.
But there are also ways you can get into better shape without too much extra effort – just by changing a few habits and exercising.
Before her wedding to Prince William royal bride Kate Middleton was linked to Dukan diet, originated by French nutritionist Pierre Dukan.
A variation on the hugely popular Atkins diet - high protein and low carb - the Dukan diet already has several famous fans, including Hollywood A-listers Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Kidman.
The four-stage diet consists of a series of phases – which are known as attack, cruise, consolidation and stabilisation - whereby foods are withdrawn and then slowly re-introduced.
According to the Dukan diet website, the phases enable the dieter to lose then maintain the correct level of weight for body type.
Attack - Brief and headlong phase with immediate results. During this phase, the diet is made up of 72 high-protein foods enabling quick weight loss.
Cruise - During this phase, the diet alternates pure protein days (PP phases) with 28 recommended vegetables (PV phases).
Consolidation - Phase of 10 days which prepares for the return to a balanced diet with a target of establishing an ideal weight. This phase brings the gradual return of fun foods.
Stabilisation - Definitive phase based on three simple, concrete, easy but non-negotiable measures. This phase is both the easiest and most essential in the slimming method because 95 per cent of people who follow a diet put the weight they have lost back on.
Then the gym is always a good option for high-energy workout including rowing, running and weight lifting.
To really burn fat vary the speed of a running workout by running at a high intensity for three minutes and a moderate intensity for five. This will ensure all of your muscles are working hard and help tone your abdomen.
For toned arms and intense 30-minute rowing session can burn 300 calories.
A session on the rowing machine will provide great strength, flexibility and posture in your upper body.
Adding weights to a cardio routine will help with muscle definition and sculpting body shape and will help improve co-ordination and increase bone density.
Doing step-ups and push-ups alongside squats and lunges using an exercise band will also give the same effect. For best results, do repeat each move 10 to 12 times, breaking just long enough to catch your breath in between. Repeat for two to three sets.
Lactic acid build-up in the muscles from vigorous cardio exercising contributes to muscle fatigue so yoga stretches in between regular workouts will release any lactic acid build-up.
Moves can include forward bends stretch the lower back and hamstrings. This helps you let go of tension in the back, neck and shoulders, increasing the flexibility of the spine.
Backward bends open the chest, hips and rib cage and hips and build strength in the arms and shoulders. They also add to flexibility in the shoulders, while helping ease the tension from the front of the body and hips.
Seated asanas - or poses - increase suppleness in the hips and lower back. Strengthening the whole back, they increase the flexibility of the spine and elasticity of the hips, knees, ankle and groin.
Balancing asanas are essential for cultivating muscle tone and physical harmony as well as strength and agility. Great for overall posture.

Creating Peace Through Coffee
Coffee for Peace
In the Philippines there is a lot of conflict between the Christians and Muslims living there. This has caused a lot of violence and has created a cycle of poverty. Coffee for Peace uses coffee to help the people that have been affected by the poor situations that they are in.
Salmaan Kapdi
Samiha Huque

Coffee for Peace is creating a system for the indigenous people of the Philippines to give them a way to succeed and to help them achieve things that they would not be able to do without the training that they receive from the company. They help people solve their own personal disputes with others while also helping them to earn a livelihood in order to provide for their families. This, in our opinion, is their biggest innovation: instead of having a physical innovation, they help connect people and give them hope.
In a more specific example, we believe that the true innovation of Coffee for Peace is the knowledge that they pass on to the people that they are helping. Their innovation is to train people on how to become coffee suppliers and to practice good agricultural standards. This connects with the UN Global Goals because it can lead to No Poverty and Decent Work and Economic Growth.
The idea for Coffee for Peace started when the CEO of the company, Joji Pantoja, decided to mediate a situation between two different tribes. Usually, conflicts would be solved with violence, but this time the two parties were invited to lay down their weapons and talk over coffee. The two parties ended up agreeing to terms peacefully, and the place where they met is now called the Peace Hut. After the success of this mediation, many others decided to talk in the Peace Hut rather than use violence. In this way, Coffee for Peace was created.
The overall impact of Coffee for Peace is that it has created a community that understands each other and has become more peaceful. It has also helped the local community increase their economic power and have actual jobs instead of being stuck in a cycle of unemployment and poverty. Just by visiting these tribes, you can see a significant change because they are now living in brick houses rather than the bamboo huts that they would normally live in. Coffee for Peace has also created unity for a part of the Philippines that has been divided due to religious differences; they have blurred the lines of difference and created a peaceful community.
These are only the short-term effects that Coffee for Peace has seen. For the long term, they have seen a community become enriched by the coffee that they have made with the company. They are also helping another community replant trees, which will help them deal with flooding in the future. Another long-term effect of Coffee for Peace is that they are creating a larger community with a common goal of peace and understanding of others. This may not seem like a big deal right now, but it could lead to some societal changes in the Philippines.
Last year, Coffee for Peace earned revenues of $45,000, which means that the organization is profitable and can expand into helping more people become coffee farmers. Because Coffee for Peace has decided to have the people that they help join their company, they have increased their local farmer supply count from 100 to 600 farmers. This has helped increase retention and employee well-being because they are a profitable company that has given these people a way to make money and also have increased the number of people working for them. Because of the knowledge and training that Coffee for Peace has given these farmers, they have become world-renowned Arabica and Robusta coffee suppliers. This has also opened new investment opportunities into the coffee market of the Philippines.
Also, because the company has increased its total number of farmers, people from other communities will see that these people are becoming successful and could potentially join the cause as well. This will help increase revenues if more farmers join their company and would also help because the number of employees would increase. This would be great for the company because then they could focus on different types of coffee and possibly create a new market, as they would already have farmers who could grow the types of coffee that they already sell. This would help increase revenues for the business while also helping the people of the Philippines.
The innovation of Coffee for Peace has helped both society and the environment. It has helped society because it has created an accepting community through peace and has also helped the people who have joined the company have better jobs with higher pay and greater economic power. Coffee for Peace has also helped improve society within the indigenous tribes that they work with; due to their programs, these people have seen economic prosperity and been able to construct actual houses rather than continue living in small huts that could be blown away in strong winds. Coffee for Peace has given these people a better life and decent work and is trying to end poverty in these villages. These societal changes can have a huge impact on the future of these tribes and will most likely continue to help future generations.
While helping with societal problems, Coffee for Peace has also supported the environment through their work. They have started to replant trees that were cut down in the 1940s and 1950s by a mining company. This has helped the village that is planting them with landslides because the village is located on the base of a mountain, and when it would rain a lot of their properties would be destroyed. They have also taught their farmers how to be environmentally friendly when farming coffee. This has helped these farmers be recognized as environmentally friendly and has helped them with business as well, because they are learning how to farm without hurting the environment. In addition, they will teach this way of farming to their kids and so forth, which will create a cycle of environmentally friendly farming.

Last year, Cobaya Gourmet Guinea Pigs brought its talents to South Beach, teaming up for the first time with the South Beach Wine and Food Festival to put on a dinner together. That one worked out pretty nicely, so we decided to do it again.
This time around, Chef Alex Chang (an alumnus of Cobaya Experiment #53) of the Vagabond on Biscayne Boulevard played host, Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods made a repeat appearance, and Carlo Mirarchi of Blanca, the exceptional tasting-menu sibling to Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn, joined us, along with Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, of Animal, Son of a Gun and several more new L.A. restaurants.
It was another great night: an ideal location in the refurbished Vagabond Hotel, some great chefs serving some great dishes, and a really nice crowd that included a lot of Cobaya veterans, as well as a good number of SobeFest attendees who were new to our little experiments. We don't really get the chance to do anything of this size (over 100 guests) on our own, so it was a great opportunity to reach a broader group.
(You can see all my pictures in this Cobaya SoBeWFF 2016 flickr set).
The festivities started with drinks at the bar by the Vagabond pool, including a concoction featuring Lustau manzanilla shery, Pimm's No. 1 and grapefruit soda garnished with mint, cucumber and berries.
As the crowd gathered, bites from the chefs made their way around: from the Animal boys, crisp mini tacos filled with raw hamachi doused in fish sauce vinaigrette, with peanuts and avocado; a silky vichyssoise adorned with a citrus-cured oyster from Zimmern; shaved ribeye with black sapote and burnt eggplant folded into a nasturtium leaf, and snap peas bathed in a spicy leek oil and goat's milk from Chef Chang.
Behind the bar, a caja china loaded with glowing coals was a hint of things to come.
As the group meandered their way into the dining room, the kitchen was already busy plating the first course. Jon and Vinny led off with a dish that combined cucumber in various fresh and pickled forms, together with sweet juicy cherry tomatoes and pickled peppers, all over a pickled ramp ranch dressing and dusted with a za'atar spiced crumble. There was a great mix of fresh and tart, pickle-y flavors here, that za'atar spice blend could go on just about anything and make it great, and anyone who doesn't love ranch dressing is just missing out.
Like he did last year, Zimmern once again more than held his own among a group of incredibly talented restaurant chefs, serving what was my dish of the night: a spin on vitello tonnato that layered thin-sliced poached veal tongue over an anchovy-laden tuna and mayo dressing, paired with some bright fresh citrus, briny olives, chile oil-spiked fried capers, and delicate chickpea crackers. I said a bit more about the dish – and Zimmern's clever presentation of it – in an earlier post, when it was the "best thing I ate last week."
Remember that caja china? Here's what was lurking inside: several plump little suckling pigs, marinated in condensed milk, their perfect burnished crackling skin revealing tender, cottony meat underneath (hand model credit to Rishia Zimmern). Chang served it with a beautiful shredded papaya salad given a golden hue and flowery brightness with preserved marigolds. Everyone dove in for their favorite parts: crisp skin, meaty rack, tender cheek, fatty snout (that was me).
It's an interesting experience for us to do a dinner with a bigger group like this, particularly with many who may not yet have been indoctrinated into the ways of Cobaya. I mentioned before how funny it was to hear about a quarter of the room audibly gasp when Andrew Zimmern – midway into the course – explain that he'd used veal tongue for his dish. But I really hope that everyone enjoyed themselves, and am tremendously grateful to the chefs and their teams (especially Alex and crew at the Vagabond) who worked so hard to make this dinner happen. A great big thank you to Alex Chang, Andrew Zimmern, Jon Shook, Vinny Dotolo, Carlo Mirarchi, Sam Short, and all their crews; to the great team at the Vagabond who kept everything moving smoothly all night; to Lee Schrager for his support; to Ashley Shapiro, Suzanne Pallot, Dominique Shiekman and many others for all their hard work and persistence in pulling this together; and as always most of all, for the guinea pigs without whose support none of this would be possible.
 Bodegas Lustau, the great sherry producer, was the wine sponsor for the evening. Apparently I missed their sherries which they were pouring at the bar, but wines from their sibling brandsViña Herminia and Marqués de Irun accompanied the dinner courses, along with a very nice Lustau moscatel with dessert.
 Despite some really exceptional food, I had a sort of mixed reaction to dining at Mirarchi's Blanca because of what I felt was a very standoff-ish, aloof vibe to the place. I think I may have misjudged Mirarchi. Not every chef wants to shmooze with the customers, and that's OK. Frankly, I don't blame them – I can be something of a misanthrope myself. (Though maybe you shouldn't design your restaurant to have an open kitchen with a dining counter around it then.) And to be very candid, I was also kind of concerned that his only contribution to this dinner was a dessert. But that dessert was excellent, and it was obvious from watching the kitchen that he is a team player through and through – I don't think he left the line all night, helping every chef get every dish out to the dining room. I kind of doubt that every two-Michelin-starred chef at SOBEWFF last weekend was doing the same. The guy is a mensch.


While purusing Allure.com one day I came across a post with an opportunity to join a new sample box membership. Beauty Bar in partnership with Allure is offering the luxe beauty box Sample Society. Sample Society is similar to Glossy Box, where you pay a monthly membership fee and receive box of 5 luxury beauty products ranging from skin care, makeup, perfumes, and hair care. Each box comes with a booklet of tips on the included products and on beauty maintenance and regiments. Plus, you receive a $15 gift code to use when purchasing products from Beauty Bar's website.
I must be honest and admit I slacked with my initial intentions of posting once a month about my new Sample Society box. So in this post I will share both June and July's boxes.
I'm super excited about my Sample Society Boxes. Each month's items have really impressed me. I am slowly incorporating the items into my routine to test out how viable they are to my beauty routine. I promise to post updates about my experience and if there are any new products loves I have discovered.
Let me know if you also receive Sample Society boxes and share your experience. If you are interested in any of the products listed or wish to join please visit Sample Society.

Sixteen years ago today, the Department of Justice sued to compel Dairy Farmers of America to divest its interests in Southern Belle Dairy "to prevent higher milk prices" for over 100 school districts in Kentucky and Tennessee. Dairy Farmers of America was initially granted summary judgment before a Kentucky district court, but the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit later reversed the ruling. Dairy Farmers of America then divested its stake in Southern Belle to settle the DOJ's claims. Yesterday, a group of cattle ranchers filed an antitrust lawsuit alleging a conspiracy to limit beef output from meat packers. Did they recognise this significant anniversary? Perhaps not, but today, we at GCR USA celebrate the intersection of bovines and antitrust law.

Q: API call in SwiftUI getting a blank response I'm making an Xcode project involving an API call. When I make the call and try to access a certain part of the JSON file I can't seem to get it to work. When I try to print the data I fetch it just prints a blank row.

WBB Coach May Be Named 'By the End of the Week'
by andrewmason24
By: Andrew Mason
It's been nearly a month since Boston University Athletics announced Katy Steding would not be returning as head coach of the women's basketball program. It now seems as if the wait to see who will be taking the steering wheel next is almost over.
Sources told WTBU Sports that the new head coach could be officially named by week's end. The hiring team met with two of it's final choices on campus on Monday and Tuesday. The names and how many applicants are still in the running were not disclosed at the time.
Lauren Spearman, a rising-senior point guard, said her teammates and she hope the new coach wants to build mutual respect between the players and the coaches, and can communicate well on a consistent basis.
"Communication is key," said Spearman, "It ensures that we're on the same page with all of our goals and everything moving forward."
During the first month of a head coach-less offseason, the Terriers have been working directly with assistant coach Jenny Thigpin, the only currently retained member of the Steding coaching staff. It is still unclear whether or not Thigpin is a finalist for the top spot.
Spearman noted that Thigpin has been "amazing" in making the transition process a smooth one for the players, all the while helping them improve their skills everyday.
"She's been working with us to build our confidence levels in our own abilities," said Spearman. "Next season we'll have the confidence to take and make good shots, while also being able to keep people in front of us on the defensive end."
Thigpin, a former star basketball player for Fresno State and Arizona State, has Division II head coaching experience at Dixie State University. The California-native led the Trailblazers to a 17-35 overall record over two seasons at the helm.
This story will be updated as new information is made available.

Whether you are a mountain type of person who likes nothing more than to completely disconnect from civilization in nature or a beach bum who can't wait to slide into a bathing suit and work on your tan on a faraway island, don't forget that bug spray is just as important to pack as your sunglasses and sunscreen.
While Zika may not be in the news anymore, it doesn't mean that the danger from the mosquito-borne disease is over. The Center for Disease Control's list of affected countries still includes all of the Caribbean plus most of South America and Africa. Yellow fever, dengue fever, and Lyme disease are just three more extremely dangerous bug-transmitted diseases that are common and cannot be treated with a vaccine. And while clothing should always be your first line of defense — bugs can't bite through two layers — an effective insect repellent is a must-have, as well.
Just like you choose your face moisturizer according to your skin's needs, you should always consider two factors when picking the most appropriate bug repellent for you and your family: your skin's sensitivity and how dangerous the insect situation is where you're going.
The CDC, Environmental Protection Agency, World Health Organization, and Environmental Working Group all recommend DEET-based products for heavy-duty protection against a wide range of pests. While the chemical concentration may vary by product (usually between 10 and 98 percent), formulas that contain at least 30 percent DEET are the most effective. A higher DEET concentration doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get better protection, it just means you'll be protected for a longer period of time.
Picaridin- and IR3535-based products are also EPA-approved options that provide long-lasting protection against bugs. Picaridin is actually considered more effective against flies than DEET.
And finally, there are natural and organic bug sprays that are made with synthesized plant oils such as oil of lemon eucalyptus and natural plant oils such as soybean, lemongrass, citronella, and cedar that are good for people with sensitive skin. It's also important to note that, of all of the options we just mentioned, only natural plant oils are not registered with the EPA, which means that they are safe to use, but are not as effective as the other three ingredients.
Here we rounded up the nine best insect repellents that will keep the bugs away this summer.
This heavy-duty insect repellent contains 98 percent DEET and is extremely efficient on mosquitoes, ticks, gnats, biting flies, chiggers, no-see-ums, and fleas. It is very strong so use it if you're heading to countries with severe insect conditions.
Spray the outer layer of your clothing, tent, sleeping bag, and other gear with this bug repellent spray and allow it to dry before contact with skin. Permethrin kills ticks, chiggers, mites, mosquitoes, and 55 more types of bugs. Your gear's protection will last up to six washings or 42 days of sun exposure with a single application.
This DEET-based spray contains 30 percent of the bug-repellent chemical, which provides maximum efficacy. It protects against mosquitoes and ticks and is the perfect choice if you're camping or hiking in the mountains. For maximum protection, use it in combination with permethrin-treated clothing.
This IR3535-based spray protects against mosquitoes and ticks for up to eight hours. It has an odorless, fast-drying formula that doesn't leave your skin greasy.
This baby-friendly non-toxic bug spray is an effective alternative to other chemical-based products. It is made with citronella, cedar, and lemongrass oils and is free of synthetic fragrances.
This DEET-free, lemon eucalyptus–based spray repels mosquitoes — which may transmit Chikungunya, Zika, Dengue, and West Nile viruses — and deer ticks for up to six hours. Just bear in mind that while its active ingredient is plant-derived, the FDA doesn't recommend it for children under three, because it may cause skin irritation.
Natrapel's active ingredient is picaridin which is relatively new to the U.S. but has been used for two decades in Europe as a bug repellent. It is considered especially effective against flies and its 20 percent concentration (the maximum allowed) protects for up to 12 hours.
This natural insect repellent contains soybean, citronella, peppermint, cedar, lemongrass, and geranium oil that repel insects and other bugs. It is the ideal solution for short-term exposure as it should be reapplied every two to three hours. It is DEET and GMO-free and won't damage your clothing or gear.
This DEET-free Picaridin spray offers long-lasting protection for up to 14 hours. The brand's repellents have been tested to effectively repel mosquitos, ticks, black flies, biting flies, stable flies, ants, gnats, chiggers, sand flies, and no-see-ums.


Michigan State has a comfortable margin to lead the nation in rushing defense.
The Spartans (7-5) head into the Redbox Bowl against Oregon (8-4) on Monday afternoon at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., allowing 81.3 yards per game on the ground, 10 fewer than any other team in the nation.
Bowl games count in the national rankings, but MSU has allowed 128 fewer rushing yards than second place Texas A&M, which plays North Carolina State in the Gator Bowl on Monday.
MSU junior defensive end Kenny Willekes was named the Big 10 defensive lineman of the year. The 6-foot-4, 240-pounder has 20½ tackles for loss, including 8½ sacks.
Junior nose tackle Raequan Williams was a third-team, all-conference selection while junior defensive tackle Mike Panasiuk earned honorable mention.
Senior linebacker Andrew Dowell earned honorable mention for the Spartans, who rank 14th in the nation by allowing 18 points per game. Safeties Khari Willis and David Dowell were both third-team, all-conference picks.
Northwestern beat MSU 29-19 to become the Big 10 team that scored the most points against the Spartans. Ohio State beat Michigan State 26-6 while Michigan won 21-7.
Oregon ranks third in the Pac-12 with 191.2 rushing yards per game led by freshmen CJ Verdell and Travis Dye with 975 and 721 yards, respectively. The Ducks run on 56.6 percent of their plays.
Michigan State is allowing 230.2 passing yards per game while Oregon averages 254.7 through the air. All-conference junior cornerback Justin Layne will not play in the bowl game after declaring for the NFL draft.


Venture into the northwest part of Washington State and it's like vacationing on the National Geographic Channel. Without question, you'll find more picture-postcard settings in this part of the state than any other — which is really saying something, considering the rave reviews about Seattle and other parts of what is arguably one of the union's most scenic states.
In Northwest Washington, the mountains, the sea, the farmlands, the islands all come together in a breathtaking mosaic of colors and terrain, a feast for the senses that is evident in every direction you look. It's no wonder that many people who live up here are actually part of the Puget Sound workforce, shuttling back and forth from their Seattle-area jobs but figuring it's well worth the hours spent in the car each day if they can live where every time they look out their window or walk down the street, the scenery is as spectacular as a painting.
About half way between Seattle and Vancouver, B.C. is the little village of La Conner, a town just a bit off the beaten path because you have to take a left here and a right there, and travel a few miles from the freeway on country roads to reach the town's idyllic setting. If you're driving straight through to Seattle or Vancouver, this is one of those gems you will miss unless you know it's there.
When you get to La Conner, don't expect to find a bustling seaport or a lot of hub-bub — it's a town in the true sense of the word, a tiny enclave built along the Swinomish Slough — or rather Swinomish Channel as it was later renamed. The channel gives La Conner much of its color and atmosphere, a distinct seaside ambiance that comes from watching the fishing boats and pleasure craft navigating the channel toward Anacortes and then out to the world-famous San Juan Islands. The Rainbow Bridge is the Golden Gate of La Conner, standing like a sentinel over the town and a must-inclusion in any respectable photograph of the city.
With its historic buildings, a colorful downtown assortment of channel-front restaurants and intriguing shops,La Conner is a prime destination for the stroller — i.e. the person who just likes to stroll casually through town, soaking up the saltwater scents and sounds as seabirds sweep overhead or visitors enjoy good conversation and a drink out by the channel. It also will come as no surprise that the local aesthetics are a big attraction for artists of every type including famous residents such as author Tom Robbins.
The best way to savor the town is to spend a little time in La Conner — day trips are nice, but an overnight lets you unwind and start doing things on La Conner time. Things just seem to move a little slower in the village, and we found the La Conner Channel Lodge to be tailor-made for this kind of outing. As the name implies, the lodge is right on the channel and offers great views of the Rainbow Bridge and the frequent boat traffic on the channel.
When they designed the La Conner Channel Lodge, they went with a Cape Code type of shingle exterior that fits the location perfectly. Inside, the units are quite unique and unusual in the way that they are not just rectangular but of varying lengths and widths with distinct rooms and angles. In our room a fireplace with two stuffed chairs and a table were positioned at an angle, while across the room a bench seat was built into the wall. There was plenty of room for a king bed and a window nearby that looked out onto the channel. A small lanai allowed us to sit outside and watch the slow-cruising boats that seemed only a few yards away.
Another big plus at the La Conner Channel Lodge was the bathroom area which offered a Jacuzzi style tub stylishly situated in a room that used dark and gray marble and tiles, as well as dark wood accents to give the room a luxurious look and feel that helped make this getaway seem extra-special.
La Conner's history is evident in the buildings downtown and the historic homes that are located throughout the residential areas. With just 900 residents, the town is small and visitors can walk the neighborhoods and, because of the town's hills, get some good exercise doing it. At the top of one hill is the Skagit County Historical Museum, which has many reminders of the city's past including American baskets, Shirley Temple dolls and a rich collection of historical documents and photographs.
One of La Conner's most historic buildings is the Gaches Mansion, which was constructed in 1891 by George and Louisa Gaches as their residence. Over the years, the mansion changed hands several times until it was opened to the public as the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum in 1997. The first floor of the museum is decorated in Victorian era furnishings, while you'll find the main exhibition space on the second and third floors. The museum offers new exhibits about every eight weeks, and features quilts and quilters from around the world — in fact this is one of only 12 such museums in the world.
La Conner also is a good base of operations for short drives to many scenic locations in the general area. For example, about 15 miles to the west is Deception Pass State Park, a 4,134-acre marine and camping park with considerable shoreline, both freshwater and saltwater. Deception Pass is a popular destination for locals because it's so picturesque with the rugged cliffs and churning waters below. The old-growth forest and shoreline offer spectacular views.
Just to the southeast of La Conner is the 13,000-acre Skagit Wildlife Area, which is primarily tidelands and intertidal marsh habitat. Visitors can view 180 species of birds, including bald eagles, golden eagles, and osprey. Also seen in the area are coyote, raccoon, opossum, skunk, beaver and muskrat in addition to many other species. Local residents use the Wildlife area for hiking, birdwatching, photography and canoeing. There are six developed access sites and 12 footbridges in this low-lying area.
Larrabee State Park, in the Bellingham area, is an easy drive north from La Conner and features 2,683 acres with a scenic saltwater shoreline on Samish Bay. The park features two freshwater lakes as well as tidelands and coves.
La Conner is a fun and picturesque destination any time of year, but perhaps the most beautiful time to visit is in April when the area comes alive with the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival.
Acres and acres of daffodils, tulips, irises, and lilies are on display at this special time of the year. The flower-viewing season begins with daffodils in mid- to late-March, followed by tulips in April with irises and lilies continuing into mid-May. Events include a big street fair, parade, quilt walk and many other festivities both in La Conner and in nearby Mount Vernon.
WHERE: La Conner is about 65 miles north of Seattle and is easily reached by taking the Conway exit off Interstate 5 and following the signs for La Conner.
WHAT: La Conner is a charming historical village with a population of only about 900 people, but with an excellent selection of shops and restaurants as well as some good choices for quality lodging. It has the feel of a fishing village and features picture-postcard scenery.
WHEN: This is a year-round destination, but will be much quieter mid-week and in the winter months. Conversely, it may be harder to get lodging in summer and on peak summer weekends, especially around the time of the Tulip Festival in April.
WHY: La Conner offers just the right combination of ambience and solitude with sights and sounds that are bound to stir your passions.
HOW: For more information on La Conner, call the La Conner Chamber of Commerce at 360-466-4778 or visit www.laconnerchamber.com. For information on the La Conner Channel Lodge, call 360-466-1500 or visit www.laconnerlodging.com.

Duncan Suttles (ur. 21 grudnia 1945 w San Francisco) – kanadyjski szachista, arcymistrz od 1973 roku.

Życiorys
Urodził się w Stanach Zjednoczonych, ale w młodym wieku jego rodzina przeprowadziła się do Vancouver i tam zamieszkała na stałe. Pierwszy start w mistrzostwach Kanady odnotował w roku 1961. Wkrótce awansował do ścisłej czołówki krajowej, do której należał do połowy lat 80. Pomiędzy 1964 a 1984 rokiem ośmiokrotnie reprezentował Kanadę na szachowych olimpiadach (w tym 3 razy na I szachownicy). W roku 1969 zdobył tytuł mistrza kraju, natomiast w 1973 triumfował w otwartych mistrzostwach Kanady. W tym samym roku otrzymał, jako drugi Kanadyjczyk w historii (po Danielu Yanofskim) tytuł arcymistrza. Dwukrotnie startował w turniejach międzystrefowych (eliminacjach mistrzostw świata), w obu przypadkach zajmując XV miejsca (1967 Sousse i 1970 Palma de Mallorca). W roku 1973 zwyciężył w turnieju rozegranym w Montrealu, rok później zajął w Wenecji III lokatę, natomiast w 1981 podzielił I-II miejsce w Vancouver. W roku 1982 otrzymał tytuł arcymistrza gry korespondencyjnej.

Najwyższy ranking w karierze osiągnął 1 lipca 1973 r., z wynikiem 2485 punktów zajmował wówczas 1. miejsce wśród kanadyjskich szachistów. W 1985 r. zakończył szachową karierę i poświęcił się pracy w branży komputerowej.
