Rob Schneider marries in Beverly Hills
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: He finally grew up last summer, so I guess it was time for Rob Schneider to settle down.
The "Grown Ups" star married girlgriend Patricia Azarcoya Arce over the weekend in a quiet ceremony in Beverly Hills. It is his second marriage following a union with London King, with whom he has a child.
"Patricia and I were surrounded by our closest friends and family; it was the happiest day of my life," Schneider told THR in a statement. "We had a great time at the wedding and are looking forward to our honeymoon."
Schneider can't stray on vacation for long. As THR notes, the actor is starring in a CBS sitcom that's loosely based on his life, telling the story of "a solitary guy who marries a woman who comes from a huge Mexican-American family." The show doesn't have a title yet, but it's hoping to be on the air in the near future.

Having your own online business is a GREAT idea.
You sit in your underwear and watch customers flow into your life and fill your bank account ( all whilst you happily watch Netflix. )
You travel without a care in the world, letting your online business do the heavy lifting.
Whilst the only heavy lifting you do is bringing that rum packed cocktail to your lips, and dragging yourself out of that infinity pool.
That's of course is what people want when they jump into the online ocean and start their own venture.
We know that to make it all happen a little expert help is required.
That's where we come in………

The great Huntsville, Alabama underground rap duo G-Side broke up after the release of their last album, 2011's Island, but they got back together last year. And after sharing the jaw-dropping single "Statue," they're back with their comeback album Gz II Godz, which promises some mind-warping beats from frequent production collaborators Block Beattaz and some serious-striver everyman verses from the underrated Clova G and ST II Lettaz. I've been waiting for this one. There's been no advance word of when the album will be out, but they've just announced that it'll be out tomorrow. And they've shared a stream of the entire thing in the form of an hour-long "visual album" video. Hear the whole thing below.
Gz II Godz is out tomorrow.

There's no city as beautiful as Amsterdam. Even the outskirts of the city are better looking than in other countries. What I find really cool is that the city is so small. You can walk everywhere, it's almost like a museum. Everyday, I walk home along the Keizers canal and everyday again I acknowledge its beauty.
"During a holiday in the South of France ten years ago, my girlfriend ran away with one of my best friends. Broken hearted I returned to Amsterdam and was walking around purposeless around the Waterlooplein, where I lived at the time. In that condition, I bumped into an old operation lamp. I took the thing home and unleashed all my frustrations in working the object. That's how my first series of lamps originated."
Starting and running a club is a challenge. The moment I started this project, I had a bag of experience in the hospitality industry and I was co-owner of my own Bar Swych. But running a bar is a whole different story. My alarm went off at 11 in the morning, then I'd go for a croissant and a coffee and after that I opened my doors and guests would start coming in.
Esmée and Rockson
Esmée: 'My mom grew up in Amsterdam, amongts the hookers in the Redlight District. When she was eighteen, she got married and left for London with her husband, because her parents wanted to move to another part of Holland and she didn't want to come with them. After London, she wanted to return to Amsterdam, but for my father she moved to an eastern part of Holland. That's where I grew up.
Let Them Call Me Names
Let Them Call Me Names
I'm from the North of Holland and from an early age on I started to develop in a different way than other people from my age around there. I dressed and acted peculiar. Others confronted me with my – in their eyes – odd behaviour. In the end, you find douchebags everywhere, but I do notice that people from Amsterdam can handle a lot more. This is a beautiful, tolerant city that makes me feel I'm home.

This post is dedicated to my good friend Robert, who, as it turns out, is a Scotch man.
The other day, I wrote a post telling you that we were planning on traveling over to the Mayflower Inn, in Washington, CT for Christmas dinner. In that post, I described how I was going to finish eating, order a nice Scotch and walk over to the library to look out the window. Well, just as luck would have it, my friend Rob read that post.
Just yesterday, Rob called me up and started talking about how much he likes Scotch whiskey. He asked what kind I prefer the most. I said, "I don't." "What do you mean? I thought you were going to drink Scotch after dinner on Christmas," he replied. I said, "Yeah, I am, but I am not sure I have ever actually tasted Scotch."
Now, don't get me wrong, I have a long history tasting various types of whiskeys and I am sure I bumped into Scotch along the way, but for me to remember what I was actually drinking would be difficult. It's been kind of a long ride. With that in mind, I thought it might be a good idea to study up on various whiskeys and even taste a few.
Today, Laura and I headed up to Whole Foods to get a bunch of delicious stuff to eat tonight. Oh man, we got sushi and various types of cheeses and all sorts of goodies. It's going to be fun. When we finished shopping and loading the food into the car, Laura suggested that we cross the street and visit Glastonbury's finest liquor store (or at least one of Glastonbury's liquor stores). I agreed and we began walking across the street.
Upon taking two steps into the store, I was faced with two distinct boxes that had the name, "The Glenlivet" on them. I said, "Hey, that's Rob's favorite Scotch right there." I was pretty surprised because I thought it would be a more challenging find. Guess not; I'm sure Christmas brings the expensive Scotch out front and center.
I picked up one of the boxes and started looking at it. Then, I picked up another brand that was resting close by. I kind of fell in love with the other brand because the bottle was in a really cool tube and it looked like an extremely clean piece of jewelry when I looked through it. It twinkled in my eye and was simply marvelous. I informed Laura that this bottle of Scotch was indeed the bottle that I intended to crack open when we got situated on the couch tonight. She jumped on board and walked with me to the counter to pay up.
When we reached the counter, I was forced into a quick decision making situation. Right behind the lady at the register was a whole shelf full of those little sample bottles of all different types of liquor. I thought, "Should I keep the one big bottle of Scotch that I had in my hand or should I get a few different types to try them out?" I especially needed to see if I liked them or not. I thought it would be a wise choice to put the big bottle back and grab a few of the little ones.
Here is what I bought…
We walked back to the car and Laura could see the excitement on my face. It isn't very often a man like me gets to find a new favorite thing to love. I was wondering if Scotch would be one of them.
When we got back to the house and after we unpacked the groceries, I couldn't help but to stand the little bottles up on the counter next to each other. I did that and they looked really great. A few seconds later, I began thinking to myself that since they were all just standing there, they really should be opened for an official tasting. Laura is always right next to me for things like this. I believe she was just as curious.
I opened up all three bottles and picked up the Johnnie Walker Red. Now, Wikipedia tells me that this type of Scotch is meant for making mixed drinks. Oh well, because today it wasn't going to be mixed. I brought the bottle close to my lips and when it was about an inch away, I immediately had a flashback. The flashback was of many, many moons ago. I won't even got into it, but let me tell you that Johnnie Walked Red smells just like good ol' Irish whiskey. Man, oh man.
I took a small sip and handed the bottle to Laura. I kind of shook my head a bit to get used to what I had just tasted. Laura took a sip and then we proceeded to try the Johnnie Walker Black and the Glenlivet. Laura immediately chose the Johnnie Walker Black as her favorite. I told her that I didn't have a favorite because I really didn't see myself continuing to drink any of them.
I don't think Scotch is my drink. It reminds me way too much of whiskey, and whiskey was really never my thing. You might say, "Well Jay, Scotch is whiskey you idiot." I might respond, "Yes I know that, but thank you for pointing out the obvious."
We both gave the bottles another round and I informed Laura that if I had to choose a favorite, it would be a toss up between Johnnie Walker Black and the Glenlivet. They both seem to have more of a distinct taste and both offer different advantages.
We agreed that if we were to relax at an inn with a few good friends, Scotch would be perfect. If we were planning on staying over and were allowed to let the liquor work its wonders, Scotch would definitely bring us to the place we needed to be. I say this while recognizing that I am simply a boy who performed a very small Scotch taste test this afternoon.
I would like some feedback. I am sure there are many people reading this right now who have some pretty strong opinions on liquor, one way or another. Please fill me in on your favorites and what you choose to avoid. I am sincerely interested. I have come to embrace the fact that I am a sweet liquor kind of guy. I have a bottle of blackberry Brandy on the kitchen counter that has been serving me well. I love after dinner drinks, so I guess I will stick to what I like.

Who knew a conflict that pits Justin Bieber against "Proud to be an American" could be so contentious?
For those not paying attention, a kindergarten decided to switch out the famously patriotic song with Mr. Bieber's "Baby" for a graduation ceremony a week or so ago, causing a number of Republican officials, like Rep. Michael Grimm to lash out at the decision. Today, another one of those officials, Congressman and U.S. Senate hopeful Bob Turner, held a press conference adjacent to the school in question where he sung "Proud to be an American" with a swarm of small children waving flags.
Well, not everyone thought that was a swell idea.
"You Republicans come go to a Republican area and do that, we don't do that here," one of the several hecklers yelled out early on. "This is ridiculous, this is sad. This is so crazy. This is sad."
"Excuse me sir, can you let the kids sing please?" Mr. Turner's staffer interjected.
"No!" came the bolted response. "The kids don't even know what they're singing! They got something you tell them to say! It's ridiculous! It's sad, sad, sad. Y'all are going to burn in hell! You all burn in hell! Shame on you! Shame on you!"
At one point the kids start chanting "USA! USA! USA" to drown out the heckler, but that doesn't exactly cause him to quit yelling at the crowd of small children and organizers.
Watch the entire affair below, which is fairly impressive as far as press conferences ago. At one point it features a random bearded individual of unknown affiliation playing a harmonica in front of the cameras:

The Hammond organs are very complex beasts, full of wires. Until now, the best renditions were synthesis, mainly because of how the organ works which is a set of 91 frequencies that are connected via contacts under each key and which volume is controlled by the drawbars.
Sample based libraries consist of stacking drawbar samples at the same time which works, but causes a big problem, sometimes you play the same frequency twice and because of phase cancellation, you never get the same sound twice when if you press the same keys.
Acousticsamples found a way to use the 91 frequencies synthesis approach, but using real samples, so to get the best of both worlds, the real recorded organ tone plus the real behavior and we keep access to the versatility of the drawbar controls and the tweakability of synthesis.
B-5 Organ V2 comes with its own sample player, the UVI Workstation 2 (requires v2.6.5 or later).
It is provided free with every library that you buy, you don't need to buy an expensive sampler to use Acousticsamples products. It works on Mac (10.7 or later) and PC (windows 7 or later), in standalone or as a plugin (VST / AU / AAX ) and in 32 and 64 bits. You can find more info about it here.
If you want to use Acousticsamples products in OS X 10.5 or 10.6 or Windows XP, please contact Acousticsamples here. You will need UVI Workstation v2.5.8 and earlier versions of the UFS files.

Tasting Notes: Vanilla pod flavour sublimate in combination with exotic flavours. Powder taste and slight brandy smell.
Application: Will bring roundness to your coffees, dessert drinks, milkshakes, alcoholic or non alcoholic cocktails
To create the finest vanilla syrup in the world, you must first start with the finest vanilla extract in the world.
For more than 90 years, MONIN has been using premium vanilla extract from Madagascar. This pure extract is what gives MONIN Vanilla the superior taste that makes the difference in your recipes.
MONIN Vanilla syrup is a great complement of nut flavours in latte applications. It also fits perfectly in a tea preparation in addition to berry flavours. I like it very much in after dinner drinks built straight in a glass filled with ice cubes with dark rum or brandy. Alexandre LAPIERRE

|Turbo Charge Ability: increase attack speed to hypersonic for 10 seconds.
|~ BTD5 Flash Description
|Ability: attacks incredibly fast for 10 seconds.
|~ BTD5 Mobile Description
|Ability: attacks incredibly fast for 8 seconds.
|~ BTD Battles Mobile Description
Turbo Charge is an upgrade to the Boomerang Thrower that made its debut in Bloons TD 5.
In BTD5, it is the final upgrade on Path 2, costing $2550 on Easy, $3000 on Medium, $3240 on Hard and $3600 on Impoppable.This upgrade adds the Turbo Charge adds the Turbo Charge Ability, which increases the firing speed of the tower by 5x (hypersonic) for 10 seconds. It is recommended to combine the Glaive Thrower upgrade along with this upgrade; not only will the Boomerang Thrower pop more bloons at once, it will also increase its attack rate even more.
Ability cooldown index:
In BTD5, the turbo charge ability has an ability cooldown index of 0.22.
In Bloons TD 6, this upgrade has been buffed significantly. When active, it now increases by an additional 7x, firing at nearly 25 times a second, and also increases damage by +1 for the duration of the ability. The duration is 10 seconds with a cooldown of 45 seconds (or 35 seconds downtime), though there will be a 15 second initial cooldown before initial usage. Turbo Charge costs $3400 on Easy, $4000 on Medium, $4320 on Hard, and $4800 on Impoppable.
Update History (BTD6)Edit
- 12.0
Turbo Charge ability attack speed buff increased (5x --> 7x)
Update History (Bloons TD Battles Mobile)Edit
This ability has always been a good way to defend against a lot of rushes (such as the notorious RRROD), and has become even more reliable thanks to it now being able to deal with Camo Bloons. However because of this it became very hard to try to kill a player if they brought the Boomerang Thrower in their loadout since they could easily place down a 2/4 Boomer and easily destroy any rushes. Overall this upgrade has been buffed as it's better overall at defending rushes compared to the initial release of Bloons TD Battles Mobile.
- 4.1
Turbo Charge now grants camo detection to the Boomerang Thrower while the ability is activated.
- 4.9
Turbo Charge ability duration decreased (10s → 8s).
- In Bloons TD 5 Deluxe, the Boomerang Thrower's Turbo Charge arm is white and blue, while in Bloons TD 5, it is gray like its previous upgrade.
- The theoretical fastest possible method for glaives to attack combines Jungle Drums and M.I.B. Call to Arms, the Sockets of Power in The Crucible, using the Overclock Ability, as well as Tier 3 Boomerang Dojo and Double Ranga. Practically however, glaives can only throw as fast as every one glaive per frame, limiting the effectiveness of this combination.
- Just like the Bionic Boomer, Turbo Charge Boomerang Throwers have a bionic arm and a bionic eye, though slightly different from each other.
- When you use it with Glaive Thrower and M.I.B. Call to Arms, it looks like the Bionic Boomer Boomerang Thrower is throwing glaives in Fast Forward.
- The description may be a reference to Bloons Tower Defense as it references hypersonic attack speed.
- The fastest method for glaives to attack combines Jungle Drums and M.I.B. Call to Arms, using the Overclock Ability, this can pop a BFB layer in one second and can also pop about a line of MOABs beautifully.
- In BTD6, a Monkey Knowledge perk allows the ability to last 15 seconds instead of 10, massively increasing the power.
- Turbo Charge is one of the few upgrades returning from BTD5 that were formerly visually the same as the preceding upgrades, the others being Super Range, Call to Arms, Long Life Bananas, and Valuable Bananas.

"That's the worst film I saw since a long time."
(First comment on IMDB page for "
I am in total agreement with some semi-literate francophone. This movie sucks.
In fact, it's the worst movie I've seen in years. It is so bad I just can't stand to sit through it without doing something else. So instead of hitting the delete button and admitting that I've wasted $2.95 on a movie download, I'm live blogging "
This should be a great movie. It is set in the 18th century at the time the French were selling out their Canadian colonies in an effort to keep the their economy from tanking. There are big geopolitical issues to solve, wars to fight, and hot 18th century babes with large heaving chests to ogle. There are scheming and lying Frenchman, haughty British imperialists, and great American revolutionaries (although this being a Canadian movie, Benjamin Franklin declares that America will soon be a global superpower. Spare me.)
The movie stars several unknown (to me) but seemingly competent Canadian actors/actresses, supported by Tim Roth and an aging Gerard Depardieu. The cast is fine, the cinematography is more than passable, and subject matter is great.
But this movie is bad. Really bad.
First of all, it is just one big PC mess. Although set in the 18th century, the characters walk woodenly through their parts in 21st century Canadian PC straight jackets. The poor are saintly, the rich are scheming. All women are good, all the men bad (except, of course our hero, who fights without striking his rivals and lives among the saintly aboriginals).
Black slaves and native Indians are oppressed and absent of evil. Caucasians are natural oppressors and stand accused of all crimes for the ages. Christianity is a sick cult. Mystics living in the woods and mixing potions are at one with nature. The PC stereotyping just goes on and on and on.
But worse, the characters speak their lines with contrived Quebecois English accents. That, my friends, is making me totally crazy!
The only, and I mean only, redeeming feature of this film is that it was shot at Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Historical
But that is hardly enough to save this mess of a movie. It makes one wonder if the makers of this film had any idea how their 21st century progressive, humanist world view would make it impossible for them to tell this tale. If not, they need to go back to film school. The freshman at the Toronto Film Institute (if there is such a thing) have a lot to teach them.
Boy and girl just got back together. Maybe we're getting close to ending this fiasco.
* On a visit to Fort Louisbourg several years ago, I was halted at the gate by a faux French military guard. Knowing that the Americans had taken the fort twice during the 18th century, and seeing the all white battle standard of the Dauphin flying above the gate, I noted wryly, in my best American accent, that I was glad the guard was prepared for the inevitable. Needless to say, he was not amused.

I sent my first book (The City) to Cid Corman in 1974. Two copies of it turned up in a package of "stuff" that I bought off of the internet, about 3 months after Cid died, from the William Reese Company (via abebooks) for $175. I asked "abe" "How the hell did you get MY stuff?" They replied—after, I suppose, running my query by Wm Reese—"Corman gave a box of things to his brother to sell." . . . And, dig this, honest Abe Books dropped my cost down to $125. Then Reese emailed me and said "had you come to us directly, we would have given it to you for what we paid for it."
Also in the package were 10 letters from me to Cid re: my book Restoration Poems (and the original ms) that I sent Cid. See letters as Cid replied to me in Restoration Letters, published by tel-let, 2003.
Pauline (Chin) changed her name to Fay Chin. My 'original muse'.
In 2000 I sent a copy to (another Manhattanite/poet) Carl Rakosi.
Scott Watson published a subsequent edition of The City in his Bongos of the Lord 15.

Labour MEPs welcome new EU guidelines on labelling of goods from Israeli settlements
Labour MEPs have welcomed new European Union guidelines on imports from Israeli settlements, which state Israeli producers must explicitly label farm goods and cosmetics that come from the settlements when they are sold in the EU.
Richard Howitt MEP, Labour's European Parliament spokesperson on foreign affairs and chair of the working group on the Middle East and North Africa, said:
"European rules already say the origin of a product should be on its label, and it is regrettable how long the European Union has taken to apply this to Israeli settlements, but the pressure exerted has finally paid off.
"Consumers across Europe have the right to know where the goods they buy are coming from so they can then make an informed choice.
"This move is not a boycott but I hope it will signal to Israel that Europe is willing to consider using its economic power to incentivise peace, and that it represents an extra pressure for meaningful talks to establish a just peace with Palestinians.
"These goods are coming from illegal settlements that are not part of sovereign Israel. As a consumer, I will choose not to buy them and, as a politician, I hope it may help lead to an end to settlement expansion as part of comprehensive moves towards peace."
Jude Kirton-Darling MEP, member of the European Parliament international trade committee, said:
"When the EU signs a free trade agreement, this comes with responsibilities for our trading partners. EU law makes it clear that goods from illegal settlements should be labelled as such.
"In July, the European Centre for Foreign Relations produced a report which demonstrated that the EU's own legal rules mean we shouldn't just be labelling goods from the illegal settlements but also services.
"I have been asking the European Commission to clarify its position in this respect."
David Martin MEP, member of the European Parliament international trade committee, said:
"The European Union is clear that the settlements are illegal under international law, and these guidelines are a welcome reflection of this policy.
"European consumers have the right to make informed choices about the products they buy. The occupied territories are not Israel, and it is misleading to consumers to label products as such.
"A huge number of constituents have told MEPs they do not wish to be complicit in the occupied territories. I share this opinion. This is a step in the right direction for a more responsible EU trade policy in the Middle East."

I've been brand building for most of my career. I am a great writer, a poised and energetic spokesperson, a clever strategist that can support existing promotions; and serve as a resource for new efforts [from product development to launches and culinary events] and writing or editing marketing, digital/social and promotional plans and I can direct the whole process with an eye on your brand integrity.

Dawn Traer and the Bereavement Services Team - December 2017
Dawn and the team were nominated by Judy Woodley and Janet Somerset from the ECR Data Quality Team who said "During a recent visit to the department we witnessed the remarkable sensitivity that they displayed in an incredibly poignant situation. A tiny baby had just died and the staff were dealing with the bereaved parents. We were moved, almost to tears, by what was done to help this particular family and we are sure the compassionate way they were helped will go a long way to make their tragic experience bearable. The work this team carry out must, by its very nature, be continually sad and, at times, harrowing but the staff members that we saw on the day of our visit were quietly going about their duties with a calm composure, kindness and professionalism which is surely what bereaved families need at such times. We would like to express our utmost respect for this department and hope that, by nominating them for this award, this recognition will help them to feel supported and appreciated in the very difficult job they carry out on a daily basis".
Fungus Addams, Physiotherapy Technician - November 2017
Fungus was nominated by Dr Jenni Dixon, a patient who said… "I suffered a severe head injury in August 2013, when the mare I had qualified for Badminton event horse trials slipped and fell on the grass gallops and as she was getting up, she kicked me below my crash skull. I was air-lifted to Southampton. In September 2013, I was moved to QAH, as it is closer to my home. I was a demanding patient, as a doctor and also a keen sports woman, I wanted as good a recovery as possible. When first admitted to QAH, I couldn't even walk. Fungus was incredibly kind and professionally excellent, helping me all the way. I recall him out of all the numerous therapists that I had, as he was by far the best and extremely good. I recall him helping me to learn to walk and then learning how to manage stairs, as my severe brain injury had also affected my balance and visual fields, so I was really struggling. Most of all, I remember that he would come to give me extra help in his lunch hour. I have progressed in the last 4 years, thanks in part to the excellent start that I had from Fungus Addams. My husband and I are keen walkers, we had always planned to walk to Everest Base Camp and it was because we have recently completed that, that I wanted to nominate Fungus now in particular. It was a hard climb at altitude and needed great balance for the steep rocky paths with Yaks passing me. When we reached Everest Base Camp, I thought of Fungus Addams, as he helped me get my life back so much."
Joao and the E7 Team - October 2017
Joao and the E7 team were nominated by Mrs Gallaugher, a patient who said 'Whilst at the Respiratory clinic for a routine appointment I felt slightly unwell, their response was magnificent and moved at an incredible pace. From an X-ray to blood tests all in the space of 30mns. They made the decision to admit me and I was in C level within the hour. I was transferred to E7 ward slightly later and remained for a further 48 hours. I was discharged feeling 100% better. During this stay I was able to recognise, quite early on, that this team (E7) worked together efficiently and tirelessly in such a challenging ward.'
'They are a remarkable team, highly efficient, extremely professional and always with a smile. They have so many skills, empathy, patience and encouragement – and just the right amount of humour! The team leader, who was referred to a 'Jay' was amazing and definitely deserves an award for being an outstanding leader. He doesn't need to see each of his team working - he knows they are giving their all to each and every one of the patients that pass through the doors of E7. I was an ordinary patient with ordinary means but E7 team took care of me as if I was the most important person on earth just as they did with all their patients.
Kerry Gilbert, Sister Paediatric Emergency Department - September 2017Kerry was nominated by Sarah Shore, Associate Designated Nurse for Safeguarding Children at the NHS Portsmouth Clinical Commissioning Group. Sarah said "I just wanted to send you an email to say how impressed I have been with Kerry's dedication in supporting the safeguarding of children visiting ED. The training she provides to the team is well thought out and relevant to the needs of the team. Kerry has implemented changes that ensure staff feel well supported in reporting/raising safeguarding concerns and are also confident to challenge professional decisions. Kerry is now aware that there is a need to document supervision and record this on patient's records and she is also now ensuring any contact with social care is also documented. I would like to take this opportunity to nominate Kerry for her outstanding contribution to safeguarding children within the ED.
Matthew Spencer, Patient Services Assistant - August 2017
Matthew was nominated by Jackie and Stephanie Maggs, Clinical Coders who said 'Matthew always goes out of his way to do his job to the best of his ability and always exceeds hygiene standards. He works his absolute socks off to keep E level (new build) extremely clean and tidy.
Matthew always has a lovely smile on his face and is always cheery and ready to help anyone that may need it. I often see him explaining to lost patients the best way to reach the destination they are looking for. He really does go above and beyond on a daily basis! Matthew really deserves to be awarded with Employee of the Month as he is a complete asset to the Trust! We are very lucky to have him!'
Susie Calvert, Physiotherapy Team Leader - July 2017
Susie was nominated by Mr Nick Carter, Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal and Bariatric Surgeon who particularly wanted to nominate Susie in looking after one particular patient who was on the Intensive Treatment Unit for some 4 months. During this time Susie provided outstanding quality of care and formed a very close relationship with both the patient and his wife which was vital in keeping him motivated.
Susie acted as her patients advocate and had some difficult conversations with the wider multi-disciplinary team to give the patient more time and allow her to work with him more. Even at the very end she facilitated his return home one last time before he passed away. Mr Carter said that Susie went much further than the extra mile and deserves so much in recognition of the work she puts in all the time and in particular to this one patient.
Security Team - June 2017
Ashleigh Clarke, Staff Nurse in Emergency Medicine nominated the Security Team for an Employee of the Month Award. Ashleigh said "The guys support us so well in the paediatric Emergency Department and are always there when we need them. They never argue when we ask them just to 'hover' when we have a difficult patient. They always greet us with a smile when they do their walk rounds and stop for a chat when they can.
They are really helpful when we have issues. They were a huge help to us last week when the department had a difficult few days with an influx of complicated aggressive patients. They really do keep us safe and for that I wish to thank them. They do an amazing job!" The Security Team were nominated under the 'Working Together' Value.
Jordan Jones, Leisure Assistant - May 2017
Jordan has received outstanding feedback from members of Portsmouth Hospitals staff. Jordan is a Leisure Assistant at the Oasis Wellbeing centre and has been instrumental in significantly improving the health and wellbeing of staff who are on the Sedentary Workers Scheme.
"In a relatively short time I have lost nearly 2½ stone and dropped 3 dress sizes and I really do not think I could have achieved anywhere near what I have if it wasn't for the help and expertise of Jordan and for the Sedentary Worker Scheme" "I signed up to the Sedentary workers scheme in March 2017. Jordan completely put me at ease, bearing in mind I had sat in my car for thirty minutes pondering whether to drive back home again… Since starting the scheme Jordan has enabled me to gain pride and confidence in myself and I feel so much better mentally and physically since starting. He has tailored my programme for me as an individual and I am beginning to enjoy exercising now. I could hardly walk up the stairs at work and took the lifts all the time, now I am climbing five sets of stairs at a time without needing to stop and breathe!!!"
"This has been a total life changing time for me and I want to thank Jordan from the bottom of my heart for being a huge part of my success and especially how he has never once judged me on my ability."
Jordan has shown himself to be an outstanding employee and an asset to Oasis and to the Trust.
Sue Kenworthy, BMS 2 - April 2017
Saving staff time and pointing vasectomy patients to the correct place for enquiries Andrology screens a large number of post vasectomy semen samples and regularly have telephone calls from patients who have not had their results. The laboratory is not permitted to give results directly to patients and issue instructions that ask the patient to phone the requesting doctor. Patients must be frustrated at not receiving their results in a timely fashion.
Sue addressed this problem as part of the Perfect Week; new vasectomy patients are being seen on site with an appointment rather than sending their samples through their GPs or dropping them off ad hoc. So when they see the patients, they now hand them a small printed slip of paper with the details of where the report is going and who to phone if they have not heard back after 2 weeks. This is small enough to fit in a wallet rather than a large A4 sheet. This has been received well by patients.
Janice Ogilvie, IT Practice Improvement Specialist - March 2017
Janice is such a lovely person, and always has a nice word to say to everyone. She walks part of the way into work and quite often greeted an elderly gentleman in passing. One morning, the gentleman was quite upset and told Janice that the evening before, he had been burgled and money was stolen. Janice immediately set in motion some fundraising within IT, the Albert House Military staff and the main shop in QAH who also knew the gentleman. Janice collected almost £300 which was given to the ma n by the shop staff. Janice has shown true compassion by going above and beyond what was expected and has demonstrated our PHT values at their best.
Archival Team Health Records - February 2017
The archival team came up with a brilliant idea to save the trust potentially £1000s. The Health Records Library were lacking in space to house the 'Rest In Peace' (RIP) notes, and were looking into leasing another facility. The Archival Team came up with the idea to utilise the space on the top of the shelves, reducing the costs from thousands to £38!! Between themselves they have cleaned, built and maintained the shelving, moving the existing RIP notes to make room for future storage. Rachel Bridgman who nominated the Team said "this is not a one off solution, this will continue for many years in the future for just £38."
Information Services Team - January 2017
The information Services Team went above and beyond their call of duty when they responded to a national directive to produce weekend situation reports to help alleviate the pressures on the Emergency Services a few days before Christmas. This team responded quickly and put together a rota of trained volunteers who came into the hospital and produced reports each day over the festive period in addition to their normal working week, necessitating short notice changes to their weekends. Special thanks to Graham Taylor and Beth Williams who provided the majority of the cover over this period. Nominator, Michelle Dixon feels that the team have gone the extra mile for the organisation and deserve recognition of our appreciation.

Plain Vintage Pink Silk Pillowcase
The vintage pink 100% mulberry silk pillowcases are a beautiful shade of powdery, antique pink.
Used across all our luxury bed linen sets, silk is highly valued thanks to its high protein content that benefit the skin and hair, by not absorbing moisture and helping to keep hair glossy and skin soft.
Material: 100% Mulberry silk
Pillowcase shape: Oxford shape (with a 7cm border), close with a flap
The silk fibre is very strong while being incredibly soft but it is still a delicate fabric so must be treated with care. Silk, like wool and linen, requires a more delicate cleaning regime than cotton – one that requires gentle detergents and lower temperature wash cycles. We also recommend washing the pillowcases and duvet covers inside out.
Detailed information:
Machine washable: 30°c max
Detergent: We recommend Tenestar or any other mild silk/delicates detergent
Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a very low temperature/setting
Ironing: Use a medium heat to restore the sheen and softness to the product

Cloud identity for increased savings and security.
"With self-service password management we gave the organization something that they never had before: a password management tool that was accessible outside of the network."
— Christopher Martin, Identity and Access Security Manager, AmeriGas Propane
AmeriGas Propane is the largest U.S. propane distributor with over 1.7 million customers and 1,900 distributors in all 50 states.
The challenge
AmeriGas had time-consuming manual identity processes that created a poor user experience. They wanted a new approach with better identity management across the organization and a flexible platform that could evolve with their growth.
The solution
- Develop a cloud-first approach to identity
- Build a program with industry-leading best practices
- Automate processes for improved productivity and security
The results
SailPoint's cloud-based platform has allowed AmeriGas to do a complete identity rehaul. Using self-service password management, the company has been able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars. And with automated user access and certifications, they have accelerated their onboard and audit processes — while ensuring correct employee access.

It has been a while since I have written or spoken about a2 Milk. I know that a lot of people either own the stock or at least have an interest in it. a2 for those that do not know, trades on the NZX under the ticker code ATM and on the ASX under the code A2M. They have a market cap of somewhere in the region of $10 to $11 billion NZ, they are one of the most significant companies on the NZX. They have recently released their annual report for the 2019 financial year. Now there are a lot of people that will know a lot more about a2 than what I do so I will not dive too deep into the qualitative aspects but I will just highlight some things that stuck out for me from the report and presentations.
Obviously there are the things that the company has pointed out on the first page as highlights, 6.4% infant nutrition value share in China and leading brand in Australia, infant nutrition value share sounds like a bit of a mouthful to me, maybe a company invented metric? Number one premium milk brand in Australia with an 11.2% market share. I guess the question is how large can the market share get? In this sort of business, you are taking market share from someone else, so one would expect it to get harder as the percentages get higher, although I do acknowledge that the market for infant formula is growing and there might just be enough to go around. They also had a 64% increase in the number of stores in China to a total of 16,000 stores. Revenue in the US revenue increased 161% with 13,000 stores, so those are big numbers.
The chairman and CEO letter was a bit boring, same old stuff that you normally see. In fact, let's just skip the letters and the qualitative stuff and get right to the nitty-gritty of the financial statements. Revenue came in at $1.3 billion, a substantial 41% increase on the $900 odd million the year before. Gross margins were 54.7% compared to 50.3% in 2018. So nice to see an expansion of gross margins, so not only are they selling more, as in they are growing, but it is more profitable growth, which is obviously exactly what you want to see. It will be interesting to see if this trend can continue. This combination of revenue and margin expansion is rarer than you might think!!
This margin expansion flowed down to operating profit, with a 31.5% operating margin, compared to 30.5% the year before, you have operating profits of $411 million for a market capitalisation of around $10.5 billion. So an earnings yield of around 4%. Which is not too bad considering how much of a darling and a following the stock has been and considering that your expectations would be that the operating profit will grow from here. It just shows how undervalued the stock was a few years ago.
Moving to the balance sheet. There are no current issues there. They have $464 million in the bank in cash, no debt. $675 million in current assets and only $205 million in current liabilities. They also own 17 odd per cent of Synlait Milk, interesting that they carry this on the balance sheet as a non-current asset, which suggests that they consider it a long term investment.
During the year they generated $289 million in cash, which wasn't a massive increase from the prior year. The thing I love about a2 is that there is virtually no capital expenditure. So that net cash from operating activities is virtually just free cash flow. So they are able to grow just through marketing and advertising as opposed to more capital investments. It is quite impressive. It is almost how you would expect the cash flow statement from a successful software company to look. It is quite impressive. Looking cash flow, I wouldn't be surprised if they started paying a dividend or buying back shares at some point. That is if they cannot find anything better to do with the money.
So they are a great company doing some great things. It truly is quite impressive. So why did the stock fall after earnings? I think it was down 12% or so after the update. And this can be quite confusing for both old and new investors. If a company puts out such a wonderful update why would the stock fall? It is often a head-scratcher. Now, this happens for reasons related to valuation. Other market participants had placed a higher valuation on a2 prior to the earnings with the expectations of better earnings. So the market was expecting more. I think when you consider a2s historical performance this is not unsurprising. I believe that a lot of people have invested in the company are invested because of its historical performance, both in terms of its business performance and the share price appreciation. That would be my warning to anyone buying the company, due to the law of large numbers, on a percentage basis a2 will not be able to deliver the per share appreciation that it has in the past. If they do they will be one of the largest companies in the world by market cap. As I say all the time it is a lot easier, I should clarify, I do not mean easy, it is easier to go from a market cap of $1 billion to $10 billion than from $10 billion to a $100 billion.
So what of the valuation? I think it is about right at the moment, they are priced with a cash flow yield of about what you can get in the bank. The difference compared to the bank is that you would have to expect that cash flow to grow. I do not think that you would consider the stock cheap. But it is not ridiculously expensive either. For me, it will be interesting to see what they start doing with their cash flow. I do not think they need more cash than what they currently have on the balance sheet, so that will be the one to watch for me.

Not all male enlargement pills are the same in spite of the fact that some of them have similar ingredients. This article was written with the purpose of helping men that are interested in male enhancement.
To be more precise, this article is meant for those men who do not want to perform experiments on their own body and health and only want to use tested and approved products. If you are looking for the best enlargement preparation – this article is for you.
Choosing the best male enlargement pill could become a complicated thing due to many scams and fakes in this kind of business; you can find hundreds or thousands of penile enlargement brands and almost all of them are pretending to be the best.
But don't be fooled! Most of them are not worth your time and money. Of course, they would have us believe that their enlargement pills or patches are the best, but the truth is – they are as harmless as they are ineffective. You want to be sure that you are not spending your money on something that doesn't work, don't you?
Well, how can you figure out which male enhancement pill would be the best male enlargement pill for you? Good question! It is obvious, that all companies want to sell their products and make some profit.
The more profit, the better. Do you know any ways to make more profit than other than making good advertisements wherever possible – on tv programs, newspapers, men's magazines, Internet etc. etc. The worst thing is that customers can now barely identify good working products from hundreds of scams and it is very difficult to recognize the difference between working products and fake ones.
Do you want to spend hundreds of dollars on fake enlargement pills? Of course not! There are many ways to identify which penile enhancement pill is the best, and more important, which pill would be the best for you.
- First of all you need to decide whether you need to enlarge your penis size or whether you need enlargement pills to solve other penile problems.
First make this decision and if you are serious about this procedure and are ready to follow the enlargement course you can carry on. A small penis size doesn't have to be the only reason for you if you want to start taking penis pills!
Some men have an absolutely normal penis size but they still need pills to solve other male problems, such as premature ejaculation, flaw erection, flaccid penis, lack of self-confidence in bed, as well as prostatitis, urinary problems etc.
After you figured out why using an enhancement pill is necessary for you then move to the next level, which is choosing your product.
- Secondly, after you determined your personal needs and desires, it is time to learn more about some medical companies and the medicines they offer.
Try to do as much research as possible about each penis enlargement pill brand and each pill type. There are many ways – from screening through the Internet to a consultation with your personal doctor's / urologist.
As a rule, 90% of urologists do not recommend to try any of male enlargement pills, creams, patches or other enlargement products. Not because they do not believe in their enlargement properties but because doctors try to protect themselves.
Another good way to determine which enhancement pill is worth your time is to read special enlargement male forums where men share their own experience in penis enlargement. You can find out which pills they take, which exercises they perform, compare advantages and disadvantages of penis pills, exercises, devices etc.
You can also ask any questions and find answers firsthand from those who do not sell products and don't care about profit. All they do is share their own results and they can offer you something that helped them personally.
- The third, but very important step, is choosing a pill brand.
A good advice is to prefer well known brands over unknown firms. The reason is very simple, well known medical companies do really care about their reputation, their priorities are – your satisfaction, long-term business prospects and reliability.
As a rule, well known brands have survived in the market for a long time (3-7 years), and their products have been tested by thousands of customers. Their feedback and testimonials can prove to be very helpful. In addition, well known medical companies spend millions of dollars on special medical tests to make sure their products are clinically proven and recommended by professionals.
A pill that has not been tested by doctors could not be safe! Remember, that your health is the most important thing, do not buy such products and do not risk your health!
Best male enhancement pill should have the following parameters:
- Medical approvement
- Complete list of including ingredients
- Possible side effects
- What exactly and when you should expect any effect after taking pills
You should also have an ability to consult with professionals by phone or email and expect your money back when the product doesn't work for you or you are not satisfied with the final result. For example, the leading edge Health Company which produces the VigRx products – VigRX is Word's leading male enhancement brand that guarantees enhancement results.
Their new VigRX Plus capsules include only natural herbal ingredients that have been conducted with clinical studies to help sexual stamina, to help improve erectile functions and to help enhance orgasms with a blended mix of aphrodisiac properties. Since this brand is number one on the market, you can rest assured that they offer the absolute best male enhancement pill you can find nowadays. Please check my VigRX Plus Review.
Another important thing you should know when choosing enlargement products is that you'll not achieve amazing enlargement results just by taking pills. The enlargement procedure is a combination of multiple actions with the intentions of increasing the blood flow in the Corpora Cavernosa.
It should also improve the capacity of the penile tissue making it function more effectively. This could not be possible without performing special enhancement exercises such as hot wrap, jelqing, kegels and others. Exercises are really important as well as pills, which is why you should remember that – pills that companies sell without exercise combinations are fake!
Make sure that you'll receive DVDs or CDs with your pills pack. With VigRX you'll get not only a disc with exercises but many other bonuses. Remember, a pill offered without special exercises could not be referred to as the best male enhancement pill! As a matter of fact you can find that things will be much better as long as you are willing to move to the best possible deals and then make the right decision.
The final step you should take when looking for the best male enhancement pill is to determine if the company's website is reputable and find out if you can trust them. Always deal with those companies that offer customer service and support with their product.
The company that sells the best enhancement product is always customer orientated; it means that you have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Check the delivery and payment options and find their contact information. The more information they provide the better.
Finally, when you have already chosen the best penile enhancement pills make sure that you clearly understand how to take them. This will keep you from any possible side effects and problems and it will make sure that you will achieve the best possible results.
That's why potential consumers need to apply a few basic criteria to determine how to purchase quality male enhancement products.
Here is some direct insight into how to do just that.
- Try to stick with a name brand that has established itself in the market.
Yes, it is possible that a new product could emerge on the male enhancement landscape and deliver great results. Or, you may be acquiring a weak product that was rushed into release to capitalize on market demands. The way to avoid such issues would be to simply stick with those well established name brands that have a good reputation.
This point bears repeating: you want the quality product with a good reputation. A few of the major names in the male enhancement market truly have a name that is undeserved. The name comes from the success of their marketing program as opposed to the quality of their product. This brings us to the next point.
- Quality reviews would be well worth examining if you wish to select the best male enhancement pills for your needs. The emphasis here needs to be on the word "quality" since not all reviews that are published are of much merit.
Cursory reviews or ones lacking in details are best ignored. This is true whether or not the review is a positive one or a negative one.
- Are you able to purchase the product in retail stores or are you limited to only purchasing it online? This may seem like a contradictory point as it flies in the face of previous areas addressing the quality of the capsules. Quality is important but accessibility can be considered more important. What would be the value of male enhancement capsules if you could not easily purchase them? Ordering over the internet exclusive could prove problematic. As such, a brand that is sold in retail stores could be considered a wise purchase.
- The ingredients of male enhancement capsules should also factor heavily into whether or not they are of value. Does the supplement you are considering purchasing contain the common top ingredients such as L-Arginine and Horny Goat Weed? Seriously, no product that claims to work will actually be able to work unless it has the appropriate effective ingredients in it. How could it work if it did not have such ingredients?
Of course, personal experience counts for a lot. If you are using a product and experiencing positive results, there is no reason not to stick with it. If you feel you should make a change and try a different product, that is your prerogative as well.
The main issue here is that you do not randomly purchase male enhancement products since this will do little for your ability to see results. And results are the only thing you are after.

Rotating Stack Mold Technology Offers Multi-Shot Capability, High-Volume Production
A turning stack mold technology has been developed to meet the rigors of in-mold labeling (IML) production needs that combines high-volume production with multi-shot capability.
Moldmaker Foboha's (Haslach, Germany) patented turning stack mold—developed with Ferromatik (Malterdingen, Germany), rotates horizontally in 90-degree increments. At each turn, a different operation (label insert, molding, part cooling, demolding) occurs. This results in a less complicated operation that meets IML production needs.
Featured Content
According to Foboha U.S. Sales Engineer Lisa Mauro, with this technology, labels are applied to the rear of the cube after the mold clamps shut on the opposite side to form parts. Therefore, a robot can take the full molding cycle to insert labels—rather than doing it in a fraction of the time as with conventional molds. "I believe the cube molds are advantageous for IML because the complexity of automation is minimized," she notes.
How It Works
The turning stack mold has a center cube that indexes in 90-degree increments—allowing the non-molding sides to be used for cooling or inserting. A hydraulic or servo motor indexes the center section in 1.3 seconds with a programmable acceleration/deceleration profile. Additionally, the system has three parting lines that allow one injection molding machine to mold two precision parts from two materials, label and assemble finished product. By mounting a secondary injection unit at a 45-degree angle on top of the moving platen, the machine saves floor space. "Cycle time is then reduced, because the injection nozzle stays mated to the sprue bushing during clamp movement," Mauro points out.
In contrast to conventional injection molding in multicomponent technology, the injection molded parts produced using this technology are processed at different levels within the turning system, Mauro adds. "Parts can therefore be molded at both levels in the same production stage, and the parts already finished ejected in the free station. The next rotation (2 x 180° or 4 x 90°) feeds the new pre-molding parts to the processing station that has been vacated."
This system runs only on modified injection molding machines. These units feature a standardized option package for the stack mold technology that provides longer tiebars, which increases shut height and a more robust machine bed to support the turning center section. The second injection unit is positioned beside the turntable, perpendicular to the machine.
Mauro notes that there are numerous advantages to using this system. "Highly complex parts can be manufactured on a single machine, the clamping force of the machine can be halved, the number of cavities can be doubled, and production cycles are significantly shorter." She adds that this system also lends itself to a number of unusual applications, including thermoplastic/thermoset ("hot/cold") molding, where one material needs a hot mold to cure and the other needs a cold mold.
"Our stack turning technology is setting new standards," Mauro concludes. "Cycle times can be reduced by up to 25 percent and cavity numbers doubled with the same machine size."

Happy Sunday friends! I hope you're all able to have a relaxing Sunday - I was able to sleep in, and I don't have any major plans for the day, isn't that what Sundays are all about?! :) As for beauty, today I have a new fragrance from Avon to share with you, their new Amour Eau De Parfum Spray* ($35 CAD/50mL)!
"Today Tomorrow Always Amour
The wonder of Love. A beautiful blend of joyful citrus, jasmine petals and elegant musk that blooms like pure love." - Avon
I really like this perfume bottle - it's simple but still quite beautiful and elegant! This perfume is absolutely perfect for Spring and Summer - it's light, crisp, and uplifting. This scent is a lovely blend of citrus, jasmine petals, and musk. Jasmine is one of my all time favourite scents, so it's no surprise that I'm totally head over heals in love with this new fragrance from Avon! I only need one spritz of this perfume as it is fairly strong. I get about 6 hours of wear from this scent, which I think is pretty good.
If you like crisp, light scents, then I think you'll really enjoy Avon's Amour! If you're in the market for a new Spring/Summer fragrance, then I would highly recommend giving this one a sniff.
What's your favourite Summer fragrance?

Sitting to either side is acceptable, as long as the administrator holds the leather in front of the person during demonstrations, and has a clear view of the person's performance. Sitting to the person's right to administer the test right-handed and to their left for left-handed administration may make it easier for the administrator to demonstrate the stitches without obstructing the person's view.

It's a Gloomy 2016 Start for Wall Street
Global equity markets fell on Monday while gold and bonds rose after a 7 percent slide in Chinese shares, sparked by weak economic data, rekindled worries over global growth on the first day of trading in 2016.
Rising tensions in the Middle East also increased demand for safe-haven assets. Global benchmark Brent crude rose above $38 a barrel as some speculated a breakdown in diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran could result in oil supply restrictions.
Worries that the weak Chinese data could portend slower world economic growth hurt Wall Street and sent key indexes down more than 2 percent in early trading.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 351.01 points, or 2.01 percent, to 17,074.02, the S&P 500 slid 38.46 points, or 1.88 percent, to 2,005.48 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 127.45 points, or 2.55 percent, to 4,879.96.
China's yuan currency hit its lowest in more than four years after the central bank lowered its guidance rate and factory activity contracted for a 10th straight month in December, at a sharper pace than November.
Stocks in Europe fell sharply, with Germany's DAX index tumbling 4.0 percent and the pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index slipping 2.4 percent.
The sell-off in China triggered a circuit-breaker that suspended equities trading nationwide for the first time and put at risk months of regulatory work to restore market stability.
In the United States, the iShares China large-cap ETF fell 3.7 percent, it's biggest single-day slide since a 4.5 percent drop in September.
Investors are warranted to worry about global growth as the factory numbers may not fully indicate how quickly China has been slowing down, said Paul Mendelsohn, chief investment strategist at Windham Financial Services in Charlotte, Vermont.
"The China 7 percent drop last night and the close of the market, along with Saudi Arabia, are causing investors to rethink to their growth estimates and the geopolitical risk that's really out there," Mendelsohn said.
Crude oil futures rallied as much as 4 percent as the Saudi-Iranian tensions raised fears over the security of oil supplies from the Middle East, estimated to hold about half of the world's proven oil reserves.
Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, cut diplomatic ties with Iran on Sunday in response to the storming of its embassy in Tehran, following Riyadh's execution of a prominent Shi'ite cleric on Saturday.
Brent rose 3.94 percent to $38.75 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures rose 2.83 percent to $38.09 a barrel.
The dollar pared earlier gains against a basket of key currencies as a private gauge on U.S. manufacturing activity unexpectedly fell in December to its weakest since June 2009, stoking worries about slowing domestic economic growth.
The Institute for Supply Management said its index of national factory activity fell to 48.2 from 48.6 in November, which was below the median forecast of 49 of economists polled by Reuters. A reading below 50 signals contraction in domestic manufacturing activity.
The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a group of six currencies, was last up 0.18 percent at 98.804.
The euro fell 0.33 percent to $1.0822, while against the yen, the dollar fell 0.87 percent to 119.25.
U.S. Treasury yields fell, with benchmark yields hitting nearly two-week lows. Yields on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes earlier hit 2.200 percent, their lowest since Dec. 22.
Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes were last up 17/32 in price to yield 2.214 percent.
In Europe, yields on Germany's 10-year bonds fell 6.4 bps to 0.57 percent.
Gold rallied as much as 2 percent, with spot gold on track for its biggest one-day rise in a month.
U.S. gold futures for February delivery were up $17.50 an ounce at $1,077.70.

Explore Nolan Park
Jul 14, 2014 2:58 pm
There are tons of fun and free activities for the whole family on Governors Island this summer – especially in Nolan Park.
The park is a remnant of the 19th century, lined by charming yellow houses that were once home to military officers. These homes now serve another purpose – every summer arts and cultural organizations turn the Nolan Park houses into exhibits, shops, and activity spaces.
Stop by building 4A and you'll be surrounded by the masterful photography of Robert Capa; head over to building 18 to experience NYC during the Civil War; and if you find yourself in building 10B, you'll be privy to an array of one-of-a-kind, hand-made crafts by Brooklyn ARTery. A full listing of summer programs in Nolan Park can be found at the end of this post!
Nolan Park is also a wonderful spot to relax in the shade of an elm tree, set up a picnic, or enjoy a walk along crisscrossing brick pathways. The south end of the park is especially scenic – there you can find the Chapel of Saint Cornelius, another exhibition center that houses some of the most spectacular performances on Governors Island!
What to do in Nolan Park:
- Enjoy the Park! While there are many exciting events offered in the houses of Nolan Park, the Park itself is a tranquil area full of century-old trees that offer great shade. Make time for a picnic, relax on a bench to do some people watching, or just go for a leisurely stroll.
- Capa in Color and a preview of Sebastiao Salgado: Genesis (Presented by the International Center of Photography). Thursdays through Sundays from 11:30AM - 5:30PM. House 4A.

As I am a little addicted to buying cookbooks, I just couldn't resist and bought a few new ones. The BF has now officially restricted me to buy more. How will I ever do that? Niw's, today I am talking to you guys about the cook book by Uyen Luu: My Vietnamese Kitchen. We all know how much I love the Vietnamese kitchen right? If you don't, check out the amount of Vietnamese recipes here. I don't even know where to start 😉
I absolutely love the pictures in the book and have chosen a few dishes I want to make in the near future 😉 I recently mastered a new recipe method for Pho, but in this cookbook they have another one too, so I will be trying it out very soon too. On page 119 my eye fell on these beauties of spare ribs.
I liked to look at the recipes, the ilustrations, the way she styled things. Amazing. Very inspirational to me. What do you think of my attempt 😉 I would be absolutely thrilled if I ever get the chance to do a cooking workshop or even meat Uyen Luu/Leluu in real life. Who knows what the future holds!
If people ask me what my master dish is, I'd say its not a dish, its bbqing. I am not affraid to say it out loud: I am the queen of marinated bbqd spare ribs, so when I saw these spareribs in "My Vietnamese Kitchen" I knew I would be making these asap.
We had family coming over for dinner and they requested me to cook them some Asian food, so I made them a Bun Cha Gio salad and these ribs and some kangkung veggies. As dessert we had the Dutch Poffertjes, Culinessa style. They said that when they closed their eyes, they had te feeling they were back in Vietnam all over again. You can't get a bigger compliment if you ask me.
Recipe for BBQ spareribs, Suon Heo Nuong
~ 4-6 ppl
4 asian shallots, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
4 tsp English mustard
4 tsp of soy sauce
6 TBsp of hoisin sauce
1 TBsp Sriracha chili sauce
1 tsp honey
800 g spareribs or chicken wings
1 tsp roasted sesame seeds
In a bowl, except for the meat, mix together all ingredients to make the marinade.
When everything is well mixed, add in the meat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
If you can marinate them overnight, even better.
Preheat the oven to 200 C.
Transfer the meat to a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until cooked through.
[Of course you can bbq the meat too!]
Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top before serving.
Note: I added 3 TBsp of Hoisin Sauce extra and 2 TBsp of honey extra. I also added some spring onions to give them something extra. They were YUM.

They call her Lady Unlucky…
With three dead fiancées, Lady Eva Hyde has positively no luck when it comes to love. She sets sail for New York City, determined that nothing will deter her dream of becoming an architect, certainly not an unexpected passionate shipboard encounter with a mysterious stranger. But Eva's misfortune strikes once more when she discovers the stranger who swept her off her feet is none other than her new employer.
Or is it Lady Irresistible?
Phillip Mansfield reluctantly agrees to let the fiery Lady Eva oversee his luxury hotel project while vowing to keep their relationship strictly professional. Yet Eva is more capable—and more alluring—than Phillip first thought, and he cannot keep from drawing up a plan of his own to seduce her.
When a series of onsite "accidents" makes it clear someone wants Lady Unlucky to earn her nickname, Phillip discovers he's willing to do anything to protect her—even if it requires a scandalous deal…
