November 2014 Newsletter
Last November was spectacularly warm here in Cambridgeshire; in fact we hardly needed to defrost the car windscreen once! But only time will tell if this November will be as mild.
Some things are more certain; there'll be dark nights, firework displays and there'll be the run up to Christmas.
If like me you love Christmas then finding gifts is half the fun, especially when choosing them for other keen gardeners' .If you're struggling with your Christmas list look at our fabulous gift section, there is plenty to inspire – selfishly I want almost every gift idea as a present for me! Maybe I'll start dropping hints... Seriously we have some great gift ideas for gardeners, online and in the Christmas catalogue which will be dropping through letterboxes very soon. November's the perfect time to get your Christmas shopping done early.
With so much else going on it's easy to forget about the garden at this time of the year, but don't!
Bare root perennials, trees, shrubs and roses can all get off to a flying start if they're planted now, and there is still just enough time to get the tulips and spring bedding in to beds, borders and containers for a dazzling winter to spring display.
Wrap up warm on the dry days and settle indoors on the rainy ones, sorting seeds, washing pots or sharpening tools are all a great excuse for thinking about gardening whilst staying warm and dry in the shed or greenhouse!
Or curl up with the Christmas catalogue and a pre Christmas mince pie! However you plan to get your gardening 'fix' enjoy this month and happy gardening.

November in the garden
Last Chance to Plant Tulip bulbs
Tulips are among the most beautiful of spring flowers, they come in a huge range of shapes, heights and colours. The average garden may not be big enough for hundreds of tulips in open ground but with so many different tulips to choose from it is good that they grow so well in containers. Even a few pots will extend the amount of tulips you can grow; and if you choose early, mid and late varieties they'll give a spectacular display from April right through to early summer.
The ideal time to plant Tulip bulbs is between October and November, but if you've been really pushed for time tulip bulbs can still be planted as late as December.
Whether you are growing dainty species tulips or the more flamboyant Parrot tulips, elegant Lily-flowered, Fringed, and Triumph tulips, or full-petalled Peony-flowered tulips they are all worth a place in the garden. There are 15 classes of tulips with each class defined by habit or type and sometimes just by their huge diversity.
Buying tulips and other spring bulbs as value packs makes sense if you have a large garden or need to fill a lot of containers
It makes sense to plant bulbs as soon as you receive them but planting Tulip bulbs as late as December won't affect next years flowers they actually appreciate a spell of cold weather go flower well.
Late planting won't affect the tulips' flowering, but bad storage will! So if you have to delay planting make sure the bulbs are stored somewhere frost free, cool, dark and airy and protect them from rodents.
When you are ready to plant choose firm bulbs; discarding any that are soft or have signs of mould or rot.
Plant tulip bulbs at a depth of at least three times their height; plant them into free draining soil in a sunny site. Avoid planting bulbs in soil that gets waterlogged; and on heavy soils add grit to the planting hole to prevent bulbs rotting.
Tulips are native to hot dry regions of Iran and Turkey where they thrive on very free-draining soils. The bulbs enjoy hot summer sunshine but they also need a period of winter cold to produce the best flowers.
If you garden on wet, heavy soil, plant tulips in containers. Plant the bulbs intogritty free draining compost. This gives them the excellent drainage they need and allows you site the containers in the sunniest part of the garden.
Tulips are largely unfussed by cold- they originate from mountainous regions of Turkey and Iran where winters are cold - but cold combined with wet will rot the bulbs so never allow the compost in containers of bulbs to get waterlogged. Raise containers off the ground with pot feet if necessary and keep them away from rainfall 'run off' from roofs or guttering.
After care
Deadhead the spent flowers to stop the bulbs from diverting energy into seed production.
Let the tulip leaves die down naturally and don't be tempted to cut them back early. The foliage needs to absorb energy back to the bulb to ensure next years flowers.
Plant roses.
Once upon a time roses were invariably planted in dedicated formal rose beds. Although they still look good treated this way, especially in large formal gardens, the modern approach is to incorporate roses into mixed beds and borders. This 'mixed border' planting works well in any size or style of garden.
Combining roses with perennials, annuals and flowering bulbs gives a tapestry of colour and shape that lasts from midsummer until autumn. And there is no need to limit roses to just the beds and borders; if you have room for a large container in your garden you have room for a rose!
Climbing roses can be grown in improved soil next to walls and fences or in large pots
Roses in large containers can look spectacular positioned either side of an arch or in front of a trellis where they'll add extra height as well as colour and scent. If your garden soil is shallow or chalky then growing in a container can be a good way of giving roses the rich deep soil they need. Plant roses into loam based compost if you are growing them in containers; multi-purpose compost doesn't have enough for weight or nutrients for them, and choose a deep pot that will take the rose roots without cramping.
Patio roses are perfect in containers adding splashes of colour in small spaces but they are also wonderful edging plants for a small bed or border.
There really is scope for a romantic rose garden whatever the size of your garden!
Plant Dormant Bare root Perennials
This is the time of year when many plants are happy to rest and take it a bit easy.
They are going through their dormant phase, biding their time until spring and waiting for warmer temperatures to encourage them back into life.
Bare root perennials are dormant plants supplied with bare roots; planted now they will establish more quickly and flower earlier than pot grown perennials and they'll get bigger and better to return every year. As well as being excellent border plants many perennials also make wonderful cut flowers.
Just like us, plants are ready for a good long rest come the close of the year.Although we may feel the cold underground the soil is still relatively warm so it's the ideal time to plant dormant bare root perennials.
Perennial plants may not look as if they are doing much during the winter but underground they are making strong roots to ensure a head start next spring.
Winter and spring rains will keep the roots moist while any winter sunshine helps to ripen the wood. Hold moisture in the soil and avoid competition from weeds by mulching and clear a space around any newly planted trees or shrubs to keep the soil weed free.
Dormant perennials are ideal if you are creating a new exciting flower border, or just want some fabulous herbaceous plants to fill gaps in the garden. Buying perennials when they're dormant is a really cost effective way of filling a garden with flowers.
Find all of our bare root perennial range online and revive your borders or cutting garden next summer. Your dormant, bare root perennial plants will be delivered at the right time for planting. Normally between autumn and early spring, depending on weather conditions.
When they arrive
Unpack immediately and plant as soon as possible after delivery. Don't let the roots to dry out!
Before Planting
Dig over the planting area in advance and remove any perennial weeds, and old plant debris. Improve the soil if necessary with soil improver or garden compost to give plants the best possible start.
Soak the roots in a bucket of cold water for a couple of hours prior to planting.
Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without cramping them.
Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole and add soil improver if necessary
Position the plant so its crown or stem is level with the soil.
Fill the planting hole with soil to cover the roots and firm in gently.
Water well to settle soil around the roots.
Find room for a Tree
You may think you need a huge garden to find room for a tree but there are trees of every size and shape , ornamental trees and fruit trees too ,that will fit happily into even modestly sized gardens. Trees make a valuable habitat for insects, and birds and small mammals who rely on trees for nesting sites and a source of food; as well as bearing blossom and fruit,
There are plenty of fruit varieties that will suit a small garden so you won't need masses of space to get a delicious home grown apple or pear next autumn. Most fruit needs sunshine to give the best tasting crops but if you have a shady garden you can still grow your own fruit- choose a Morello cherry. Sometimes called a sour cherry; it's a brilliant cooking cherry perfect for jam or juicy cherry pies and it will thrive on a north facing wall- a position where most fruit trees would simply sulk!
Hazels (Corylus) make attractive garden plants too. Grow them for their delicious nuts and also to use their mature branches for wigwams and bean poles. You could even try coppicing them for a regular supply of stout young branches.
Gardening Tips for November
Protect Plants
The likelihood of frosts increases considerably as soon as November arrives. So get prepared for cold nights and stock up on fleece and cloches. If it's a crisp clear day then expect a night frost, and if you can see the stars when you go to bed it's very likely the night will be cold!
You can always keep a few sheets of newspaper handy to cover vulnerable plants if an unexpected frost is forecast, but it's much better to be prepared.
In the ground
Protect half hardy and tender plants such as winter salad leaves and autumn sown vegetables with a layer of fleece.
Wrap any tender plants that are growing in open ground such as palms with straw and fleece to protect them from cold and wet. In cold parts of Britain lift half hardy tuberous plants such as dahlias and cannas, in milder, southern areas of the UK you can protect them with a mulch. Use a thick layer of well rotted manure, spent mushroom compost or garden compost to keep warmth in the soil.
In containers
Bring tender container plants under cover and lift pots off the ground with pot feet underneath to give the best drainage. Cold and wet is a lethal combination, especially for half hardy and borderline hardy plants such as Mediterranean palms, tender shrubs and herbs, and young bay trees.
Autumn planting Top Tips
Bare root perennials, trees, shrubs and roses are permanent additions to the garden, they'll bring colour and form to the garden for years to come so they deserve the very best start. Here are our top tips for success when you plant bare root perennials, trees, shrubs and roses:
Unpack plants immediately and plant as soon as possible after delivery.
Don't let the roots dry out!
Dig over the planting area in advance. Do this a week or so before the delivery date to help the soil to settle. Remove any perennial weeds and oldplant debris and improve the soil if necessary with soil improver or garden compost.
If it's not possible to plant straight away because soil is waterlogged or frozen keep the plants somewhere frost free and airy. Keep roots just moist by storing them in damp compost or, if outside conditions allow, heel plants in to a patch of bare ground until you're ready to plant them into their permanent positions.
Heeling in is a term used for temporary planting, this protects the plant's roots until it can be placed in its permanent position. The roots are buried at an angle and firmed in gently to avoid wind rocking plants out of the soil.
Staking ensures your tree or rose will stay upright and prevents it from being rocked out of the soil or snapped by strong winds. To avoid damaging plant roots position your stake in the soil before you cover the roots with soil.
Trees planted in containers will probably need to be staked for their entire lives.
Top Tips If you are growing a tree that will be permanently in a pot choose a large container with a wide base to avoid the risk of the tree toppling over in windy weather.
Add plenty of drainage crocks to the base of the pot and fill with good quality soil-based compost; this will give large plants the right amount of nutrients; and because it is heavier than multi-purpose compost it adds weight to the pot, and helps to anchors the plant firmly.
Jargon buster
Bare root A plant that has been dug from the nursery during dormancy and sold without soil on its roots.
Dormant A plants 'resting' period with little active growth, depending on weather, but usually from autumn to spring when temperatures are below 6C/43F.
Rootstock The roots of a different variety grafting onto another plant (usually to control its vigour).
Graft Union The point where a grafted stem is joined to a rootstock. This is easily recognised by the bulge on the stem.
Store Dahlia tubers
Dahlias are native to Mexico so these sun loving plants will keep flowering all the while the weather is warm… but those showy flowers definitely don't tolerate cold snaps and frosts. As soon as the first frosts arrive their foliage blackens and the stems topple.
Once this happens remove the dead stems and lift and store the fleshy tubers as soon as possible. How to store
Carefully dig up the tubers from beds and borders or empty them out of containers.
If you have a lot of different varieties to store pop in a label so you know which is which.
Shake off as much soil as possible and discard any shriveled or rotten tubers.
Leave the tubers stem side down to drain away any moisture that might rot them in storage.
When the tubers have dried out cover them a layer of newspaper or with a dry layer of compost
Keep somewhere dry and frost free ready to be replanted in beds, borders and containers next year to flower again next summer.
How to Plant bare root roses
Bare root roses are great value, and now is one of the best times to plant them.
Before you plant your rose, soak the roots in a bucket of cold water for a couple of hours.
Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without cramping them. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole and add soil improver if necessary. Position the rose centrally in the planting hole with the graft union level with the soil surface.The Graft Union is the point where a grafted stem is joined to a rootstock; this is easily recognised by the bulge on the stem.
Position the plants at the same depth as they were at the nursery; this is usually easy to spot because of the dark soil mark on the stem.
Fill the planting hole with soil to cover the rose's roots and firm in gently.
Water well to settle soil around the roots.
Water all newly planted roses regularly, at least weekly, until well established, and keep the area around your new roses free of weeds.

10 Most Annoying Things People Say On A Diet
It's enough to make you just want to shove a cake in their face already.
It's great when your mates try to get healthy. It's not so great if they say any of these things. Which they will. All of the flippin' time.
"I'm not even tired."
That's strange, because everyone else is. Of hearing you say that.
"Did you know there are almost 200 calories in a glass of wine?"
Fascinating. That must be why it tastes so, so good.
"What's in this?"
Oh, just butter, sugar, carbs and the tears of orphaned kittens. That's all.
"Honestly, I feel so much better since giving up wheat."
Simply tuck into a delicious, crusty, crunchy baguette sandwich in front of them and THEN see how much better they feel.
"I can't believe I haven't been to the gym this week."
You'd think they would believe it, having said the exact same thing last week.
"I just use 0% Greek yoghurt."
The ultimate weapon in the dieter's arsenal, to be used in place of sour cream, mayonnaise, cream, and any kind of fun whatsoever.
"It's not really a diet, it's a lifestyle change."
Yes, which means there'll never be anything to nibble on when you go to their house, because the kitchen will contain nothing but eggs and kale.
"Can I have the side salad instead of fries?"
Remember when it was fun to go out for dinner with your friend? Now you're too distracted watching them push every crouton to the side of the plate.
"Did you know when you feel peckish, you're probably just thirsty?"
No, you just want cake.
"Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
Incorrect: big chewy chocolate chip cookies taste very slightly better.

Earlier it was not easy for a person who was not in a condition to pledge an asset to get hold of financial assistance from the money lenders as the deals would become risky for the lenders. Such people can now apply for unsecured personal loans. By going for this monetary service, the borrower can arrange asset less fiscal help for personal needs.
Both tenants and property owners can avail theses risk free funds as the process of asset evaluation is not followed here. You are not required to put any of your priced possessions such as car, house, stock papers and so on. To cut the risk factor for him self, the money lender charges slightly higher rate of interest. One should be careful of his repayment ability.
With unsecured personal loans, you can acquire cash that falls in the range of £1000 to £25000. One is required to repay the borrowed sum in the comfortable settlement time duration of 1 to 10 years. The money that comes to you depends on your repayment ability and financial situation. With the use of this money, you can do numerous things. One can pay the credit card installments, can pay the household and utility bills, can meet the medical and educational bills and so on.
The borrower can apply with no obligation and free of cost online application form. From the comfort of your home or office, fill the form with your authentic personal details. You would get an approval, once the process of verifications is over. In as less time as possible, the money would come to you.
Minus the hassle of faxing or filling documents, you can apply even if you are a debtor or a defaulter. All kinds of unfavourable credit score can apply and get an approval without any delay in the process of money lending.

Windtown Beach Hotel is a trendy and small-scale hotel with 18 rooms, situated directly on the pristine beach of Cumbuco. With one of the best kitesurfing spots in the world right in front of the hotel, Windtown is a mecca for kite enthusiasts. It is also a great relaxing place for the regular sunbather.
The hotel has a spa, an outside pool, a beach bar, a sun deck with sun beds (with wonderful views of the kitesurfers at sea!), a restaurant that serves simple meals for lunch and dinner and a lounge area with a flat screen TV. The kitesurf school, located on the beach just in front of the hotel, offers courses for all levels, rents first class equipment and organizes downwinders to the nearby lagoons of Cauípe (6 km), Taíba (20 km) and Paracuru (40 km).
Windtown is designed in a way that it blends into the surrounding nature: lots of wood and stones, set in a lush garden with colorful flowers and tropical birds. Because the hotel is built on the wind, it creates a natural air flow in the rooms. As a result, the use of air-conditioning is not necessary. Nevertheless, there are some rooms with air-conditioning. All rooms have full ocean-, pool- and garden views, and come with a bathroom with a hot shower, comfortable beds, a safe, free Wi-Fi and a veranda with a hammock. The fresh and wide-ranging breakfast buffet serving local delicacies is included in the room rate.
The charming village center of Cumbuco is 800 meters from Windtown. Close enough to walk and far enough to have that extra privacy and tranquility. The pristine sand dunes, where you can make beautiful walks and see breathtaking sunsets, are just behind the hotel. Also Fortaleza airport is not far away: 30 kilometers. Airport transfers can be arranged.
The focus at Windtown is on personal service and sophisticated quality. The atmosphere is sporty, casual and sociable. Additionally, the hotel breathes a healthy and natural lifestyle.

Below the Surface
July 15, 2016
Sometimes a surface is not even noticed, and other times it is the focal point of a design. We lean, cook and walk on them, and they in turn hold us up, keep our appliances in the wall and support our chairs and feet. How we use surface materials has evolved with design, creating a vision of products that encompass a variety of glamorous, natural, eco-friendly, functional and textural designs.
KBB continues its summer trends series with an in-depth look at surfacing materials and how they are shaping the industry.
View a gallery of surface products here.
KBB: What are consumers asking for in terms of surface materials?
"We've found that our clients are increasingly seeking out textures and metallic finishes as they begin to push beyond the neutral trend that's been in place for the past decade. Because so many homes today are so neutral, textures are a wonderful way to add subtle visual interest, while metallics offer an additional aesthetic dimension that many designers and clients love."
– Nancy Epstein, founder and CEO, Artistic Tile
"Aesthetically, fresh, light and clean designs for countertops are popular right now, from contemporary solid designs to more distinctive veining looks. Marble is very popular. We have also seen consumers mixing materials and colorways in the same space. They might choose one material or style for the island and another for the countertop along the wall, or define a wet bar area apart from the rest of the kitchen."
– Roy Viana, director of natural stone and slab, Daltile
"Consumers are asking for surfaces that are beautiful, add a feel of luxury to their homes and are easy to live with. There are so many different tiles and surface materials on the market today that one dominant 'ask' isn't necessarily driving the market."
-Jared Becker, vice president of design and marketing, Walker Zanger
KBB: What surface trends are you seeing in the market today?
"For stone, we are seeing more long linear lines in stone shapes compared to the squares and rectangles of the recent past. Consumers are adding more accent walls in addition to a fireplace upgrade. They are now adding stone to accent walls and archways to create focal points and add color and texture to blank walls."
– Ramsay Hawfield, vice president of marketing and product development, Eldorado Stone
"Transitional style, open floor plan kitchens with islands remain the most popular layout, and neutral hues – including creamy whites, muted blacks and soft grays – continue to dominate in terms of color palettes. That said, we are starting to see the range of 'neutrals' expand. There's a great masculine influence happening in kitchen design currently, which is shifting neutrals into a smokier, darker palette. This was especially apparent in Milan at EuroCucina earlier this year."
– Lorenzo Marquez, vice president of marketing, Cosentino North America
"We see increased interest in texture, exaggerated dimension and large-format patterns."
– Sara Baldwin, founder and creative director of New Ravenna
KBB: What new innovations are you particularly excited about when it comes to surfaces?
"Consumers are living in outdoor spaces more often these days, and they are taking their kitchen and living room amenities outside. The materials from the kitchen are transitioning seamlessly into the outdoor kitchen and the outdoor conversation space. The stone on the outside of the home is wrapping through windows and doors to the inside of the home to create full stone walls. Walking from your interior kitchen to your outdoor living space feels like a natural extension of your home."
-Ramsay Hawfield, vice president of marketing and product development at Eldorado Stone
"We are very excited about the creation of new sealants and grouts to expand the areas where decorative tiles can be used."
– Georgiana Smith, design and sales at StoneImpressions
"We're now using a remarkable new glass that has the same durability as stone. This means two things; it can be used on the floor, and it can also be used with stone in one mosaic pattern creating beautiful texture and mixture of materials. We've also just started working with an ancient stone with healing properties; it is unlike anything we've ever seen before. The world has fascinating materials when you explore different cultures."
– Sara Baldwin, founder and creative director of New Ravenna
KBB: What do you see coming next for surfaces?
"It's hard to see the trend of patterned, decorative tiles going out of style anytime soon, but we predict that three-dimensional, texturized tiles will become more popular."
– Georgiana Smith, design and sales at StoneImpressions
"I see using technology to make natural materials more adaptable as the next thing. For example, wood that can be used in a shower is definitely becoming bigger."
– Jerry McCall, co-founder of Stikwood
"We expect to see great advances come forth that will enhance surfacing materials both from a durability/performance perspective, as well as from an aesthetic perspective. Look to see technologies emerge that improve upon qualities like low-porosity and resistance to staining, as well as enhancing the vibrancy and luster of the colors and patterning."
-Lorenzo Marquez, vice president of marketing, Cosentino North America

Master Yi Build Guide by Ratch V
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!

Master Yi Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to what I believe is the best way to play a Master Yi AP build. This guide focuses on having a strong early game so you can harrass and farm with high damage values even at level one. Using AP Yi mid to late game will require timing and good teamwork to deal devastating damage in teamfights. AP yi is also capable of short turret tanking and diving and depending on the type of CC the enemy has, and tanking and outhealing the entire enemy team with Meditate. AP Yi has alot more utility than AD while still being able to do large amounts of damage to turrets and inhibitors. This is my first guide so i have no idea how to really use any features, so this will be mostly text. Or Only Text, but I'll space it out to make it easy to read.
The first build is focused on maximum damage output. The Second build focuses more on survival with decent damage.
TAKE NOTE - This is not some kind of theory craft about what could or could not work. I have used and tested this build in many games. This build is capable of carrying a team easy and even making a comeback. Do not underestimate its damage!
Currently Working On...
07/24/11 - As much as i play Yi it never occured to me that Highlander resets cooldowns only when you have it on. There was nothing wrong with it, I just kept thinking it was a passive.
Made some edits today too.
Flat AP runes give Yi a very strong early game laning ability because his Alpha scales on a 1:1 and his meditate scales 1.65:1. This means every bit of AP goes a long way. With these runes and a Doran's Ring, your level one Alpha will deal around 140 and your Meditate will heal about an extra 60 hp. If your conservative with mana, you can lane a very long time, while still dealing decent damage even after your opponent has gone back for their second item. The more I play around with runes, the more it seems that an early game boost from flat runes is far better than the scaling boost, as runes or more noticable with less items.
Flat Cooldown reduction glyphs are also very viable. It adds up to about another 6%, which will allow you to drop the Morello's Evil Tome in favor of Spirit Visage which will increase your Meditate while giving you more survivability instead of damage. This will also give you better early game cooldown reduction and more item choice late game.
I have a basic 9/0/21 for maxing cooldown and getting magic pen, but 21/0/9 works just as well for the higher damage, but you lose 6% cooldown reduction. If you want a little more survivability early game then 21/6/3 is a good choice getting the armor and magic resist in the defence tree and teleport/whatever in the ultility tree.
Summoner Spells
Ghost may seem uneeded on Yi since he can Highlander away, but I have found that Ghost can make you twice as hard to catch and much easier to excape, expesially when you use Highlander in a fight and things turn for the worse. If all else fail, Highlander + Ghost make you the fastest champ in the game.
Teleport has become one of my new favorites. This lets you farm or backdoor while being able to easily get to a team fight when your needed, or stop a minion rush thats killing a tower.
If you want some CC, take Ignite or Exhaust. Exhaust can give you plenty of time to disable and take down an AD carry or get first blood, while Ignite can keep them from lifestealing to full health after Meditate wears off. I usually Exhaust after my Meditate wears off because most champs will continue to attack you if you let yourself get to low hp before Meditate thinking they can finish you. About half way they realize they won't get you, and by that time you will have gotten them with Exhaust/ Ignite and there's a very good chance you can finish them.
Always take Flash. It has to many uses to be passed up. Cleanse is also viable. You can use it on the first CC after you alpha into a group and you'll have a better chance to survive.
Any other summoner abilities can work, these are just the ones I recommend the most.
Item Explainations
The item build shown is the one I usually use, not the one you have to use. Other items i found to be decent include:
deathfire's grasp - To replace morellos if you want an extra nuke ability. It really works great if you remember to use it. Lately I have started to favor this over morellos.
Rod of Ages - It is a bit more expensive getting early but gives alot of survivability. You also wont have to worry much about mana, but your early damage will be a little low until you get Deathcap. If you want to include this item, your best bet is Catalyst > Sheen > RoA > Lichbane while getting boots somewhere inbetween.
Alpha Strike - This is Yi's main damage dealer. It hits up to 4 surronding enemies with a chance to proc extra damage on minions and monsters. It is basically Brand's ult as it hits 1 less person and only hits the same target once, but has a 6 second cool down when cool down reduction is maxed, and scales with AP 2x better, as Brands ult is a .5 and Alpha Strike is 1. While team fighting near Baron or away from minions, this ability will deal incredible damage to 4 enemy champs. When near minions, this ability can be used on a minion to hit an enemy champ while staying out of turret range and not over extending.
Meditate - By far my favorite ability on Yi. Early game it lets you keep laning for an extremely long time, and late game it lets you take mind boggling amounts of damage and still heal more than you take. At 5, its adds 300 Armor and Magic resist while channeled. WARNING: Pay attention to enemy CC. This is a channeled ability so cast interuption will stop it. This ability heals, and a healing reduction can be devastating. Watch out for Ignite and stuns/knockups. On the upside, Summoner spells CAN be used without stopping Meditate. So feel free to Ignite or Exhaust anyone while channeling.
Wuju Style - Early game its great for last hitting, mid to late it is used to proc Lich Bane.
Highlander - Increases move speed by 40%, make you immune to slows, and great for proccing Lich Bane. BEWARE: Your only immune to slows, NOT snares, stuns, or knockups.
Early/Mid Game
Buy your Dorans and head to your lane. AP Yi is capable of Mid and solo lane, but i would suggest only taking those lanes if you have to, not becuase you ran there straight from spawn thinking your gonna do better than everyone else. Give the ranged carries priority.
If you do get mid, Yi can handle extremely well. I have played a few games against a mid Caitlyn, and I have out laned her every time.
Yi can lane well with about anyone, but will do better with tankier or support champs such as Alistar or Maokai. If you can, lane with someone who has Clarity. Yi can be very mana hungry early game so be carful.
Your main focues is to farm. Focus on last hitting with normal attack, but if you see a few minions with low hp dropping all at once, Alpha Strike can net you a couple of those if you use it right. Alpha Strike has about a 16.5 second cooldown, so don't try for a champ kill if the enemy has too much hp left.
The beauty of Yi is that he is what I consider a non-detrimental extended laner. What this means it that he can lane for a very long time without it effecting his items such as other champs who buy Tear of the Goddess, Rod of Ages, Mejai's Soulstealer, or Philosopher's stone
As the game progresses, your Meditate will quickly go from just a heal to all but invinceible for 5 seconds. Alpha Strike will spike in damage and when you get Lich Bane, you will be able to follow up and teamfight much better.
Late Game
Late game teamfights can work in 2 way:
Light CC Enemy Team - If the enemy team lacks alot of stun or knockup, Yi is a great initiator. He can dive on in with the tank with Alpha Strike. During Alpha Strike, you become untargetable for up to about 1 second when you hit 4 enemies. After Alpha Strike, the enemy will usually focus you, and if they have no way to stop a Meditate channel, then focusing you will be a devastating mistake for them. You will outheal almost anything, and if your team acts fast enough, you can survive even if hit by an Ignite or other heal reduction.
Heavy CC Enemy Team - When the enemy team goes with alot of stun or knockup, you will need to be extremely careful. If you initiate, you will go down like any other carry if your Meditate is interupted. Stay back until alot of CC is spent, then target the enemy team carries. Alpha Strike and a Lich Bane attack will easily take a carry down to half Hp, and you can finish them by proccing Lich Bane with Wuju Style and Highlander.
6th item suggestions
Yi has a great damage output with his core items, Lich Bane, Ionian Boots of Lucidity, and Rabadon's Deathcap. The next two items, Morello's Evil Tome and Void Staff are highly recomended for the first build. I would not consider skipping them. The same goes for Banshee's Veil and Spirit Visage in the second build. That last item can be completely situational, and these are all good choices, just pick what fits your game best. Rylai's is listed in the first build because that is just the most common one I go with.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter- A good amount of AP, added survivability, and a slow too boot. Good if you need to live longer in general.
Zhonya's Hourglass- An good item if your looking for more damage, but need a little more resistance towards an AD heavy team, and has a nice active to boot.
Abyssal Mask- Along the same line as zhonya's, except for a more AP heavy team. The passive also increases your damage.
Guardian Angel- This will give you general survivability, but also lets you be a little more reckless with initiation. If you die before you can get a meditate off, just meditate as soon as you rez, and you will be right back at full health.
Banshee's Veil- A common situational item. Good survivability and help you with that one guy who only saves his CC for until you start meditating.
Hextech Gunblade- This can be a very good item for Yi. It will increase his damage output against towers with 60 AD while still giving 75 AP, which is a pretty good value for one item. Since it has life steal and spell vamp, it gives you a more reliable healing method through damage.
Yi Utility
Here are a few situational actions Yi can take.
Turret Pushing- If you feel your safe enough from a gank such as just winning a team fight, and you want to take down a tower with your AD carry next to you, you can do it with Meditate. Use Highlander and do as much damage to the turret as possible, using Wuju Style to proc lich bane. Don't use Meditate until your almost one hit until dead. When you use it, you will easily outheal the turret and your friend can continure to attack. You will have one more Lich Bane proc after meditate, and by now the turret should easily be dead. I suggest doing this only with lvl 4 or 5 Meditate and having completed your Rabadon's Deathcap with atleast 350 AP. Late game, Yi can also easily tank both of the Nexus turrets at the same time if you feel your team can take them down.
Team Turret Diving- Again a use of Meditate. Alpha in and get a hit off on an enemy champ, and if your opponent has a CC, be cautious of what it does. If your laning parterner jumps in at the same time, he can get some easy attacks in before you have to back. As always, meditate just before dieing if you higher level, or at about half health if your lower leveled. If the enemy champ attacks you thinking he can get a kill, thats all the better. It's only more time for your partner to kill him. It is suggested to ult out to reduce damage and chance of dieing.
Distraction Initiation- This one can be a bit tricky, but also work wonders. Alpha Strike in on a group of enemy champs while your team is nearby. After using Alpha Strike, immediately Highlander straight towards your team. This works best in the mid with your team in one of the side bushes. This is alot like normal baiting, but since you get so close to the enemy team and deal a chunk of damage, they are highly likely to overextend right into your team trying to kill you. Always Alpha Strike the champ that is a little farther from the group, because that is the one you will appear next to after you Alpha is done.
Damage Combo
To maximize AP Yi's damage, you have to work with the 2 seconds cool down on Lich Bane. If you spam your abilities, your damage will be extremely low. Even in the most intense fights, you have to time your Wuju Style and Highlander to proc Lich Bane or else it will be a huge waste and your damage will be low.
In a normal fight you will most often use abilities in this order with time in between for Lich Bane procs:
Alpha Strike> Highlander> Wuju Style> Alpha Strike
Meditate is more situational but still procs Lich Bane so DO NOT forget to attack once before your next Alpha Strike.
Some Game Results
Farmed early game in a solo lane against Cho'gath. Enemy team didn't like how i could meditate through all they could throw at me.
Just some general match history. The top game was a heck of a comeback. My team mates, a nasus, cho, and tryn refused to initiate. I'm not kidding. Three of the best initiators. Multiple times they stood on the sidelines of a fight we could have won if they joined. I used distraction initate while my queue friend, annie, used a tibbers ult stun. It's the only reason we won.
I find AP Yi more useful more often than AD with utility and multi-target damage. Without a Lich Bane, AP tends to fall short with damage. Feel free to post and suggestions for more chapters and comment on what you think. Please be constructive with comments, But you do not need to comment to vote. Go ahead and post game results and thoughts. Thank You and Good Luck.
P.S. I work on this guide fairly actively and I LOVE FEEDBACK! I would also like to thank Adonikam for inspiring the second build, the tankier AP Yi.

Louis Icart
Louis Icart, a self taught artist, is the master of "boudoir art". It was referred to as "boudoir art" because during the 1920's to 40's, most collectors felt that it was a little too risqué to display anywhere other than the bedroom. His art is a tribute to the beauty and gracefulness of the female form.
Born in France in 1888, Icart had a love for the theater and had hoped to become an actor. Luckily for us, his life took him in a different direction. He had his first experience with art in 1907, hand coloring French beauties for a postcard company. Later on, he took a position as a fashion illustrator.

He met his inspiration, Fanny, in 1914 and they were married six years later. During World War I, Icart fought for his beloved country first as an infantryman, but was soon a member of the 10th Airborne Division and was a pilot by 1916. He achieved the rank of Major by the time he left the military. Fanny was busy promoting and selling his etchings. Due to her efforts, Icart's art was well received in France and the USA after the war. He had his first major art show in Paris in 1920.
The happy couple made their home in the countryside just outside of Paris. Here, they were able to indulge their love for horses, dogs of all breeds, cats, birds and the gardens. They had one daughter that he was devoted to. The artist also had a large studio here. He worked mainly in etching with a combination of drypoint and aquatint on copper plate. His beautiful wife was the model for the majority of etchings that he created. Icart's passion for life was reflected in his art. He was involved in the Parisian literary and theatrical social circles and was a gourmet cook.
World War II halted the sale of his etchings and copper was difficult to obtain. He spent the years painting and chronicling the event. He died in 1950. You can read more about this artist in the following books: Louis Icart, The Complete Etchings by Holland, Catania & Isen The Etchings of Louis Icart by Schnessel and Karmel Icart by Schnessel Louis Icart Erotica by Holland

This game, has something for the casual/hardcore gamer. Casual gamers can always take it easy, and build up a huge army. If you want to go harcore however, then you mind as well go solo. It is the greatest challenge ever. :D Personally I think the best nation for the latter is the japanese. But it depends on your taste.
Graphics are a little bland, but that doesn't stop it from getting 10 stars, no. The Stellar gameplay is what makes this game shine.

A Different Marker Experience
By Marker Man
from Washington, DC
Unlike Copic and Prismacolor and Mepxy markers I've worked with, these don't seem to bleed through the paper, even when used with sketchbook quality paper. They have no odor at all that I can detect. On the papers I've tried, they don't blend as well as Copic. I found it a bit tricky to pick colors; what they look like on paper doesn't seem to match the names all that closely. And at least with the ones I bought, the colors tend towards the dark and vibrant, which is good for some styles, but not as good if you're going for a subtle colorization of line art. One last note, the white is unique in having a bullet tip, instead of the brush tip of the others. It's not super opaque (compared to, for example, painting on white gouache highlights) but multiple passes builds up the white in a controllable fashion.
Pigmented India Ink in multiple nib sizes and 48 colors brings great versatility to
pen-and-ink drawings requiring lots of intricate details. Pitt Artist Pens are great
for sketching, journaling, cartooning, and drawing. The Superfine, Fine, Medium, and Brush nibs not
only replace ink bottles — they're instantly available for work. The ink is
waterproof, unsurpassably lightfast, acid-free, and pH-neutral. The nib
size is prominently displayed on the end of the cap.

Amber at her college graduation, May 2010.
My friend Amber Young loves to get Micro Braids. I've always wanted to try said hair style, but I swore off braided weaves since the age of 15. And unlike me, she's had a good experience with this type of hair. She swears by it!
NAME: Amber Young
OCCUPATION: Special Events Coordinator and Recruitment Specialist
CURRENT HAIR STYLE: Micro Braids (human hair)
"I've been braiding my hair on and off since I was 5 years old. I had my hair braided all four years of college and I still rock it in the "professional" world. It really works for my lifestyle. I get my hair braided by my mom's friend in Delaware. She has a salon in her house and she is AMAZING. I style my hair this way because it's just quick and easy to take care of! I just run my hands through it, spray some water and sheen on it and tada! When I perm my hair or have it out, I tend to flat iron it WAY too much. The last time I lost A LOT of hair, which was no fun because unlike other ethnicities, it takes our hair a super long time to grow back."
What do you think about Micro Braids?

COVINGTON -- Top-ranked Hart County rode out a 14-point lead it built in the first quarter of its matchup against Eastside on the road to remain undefeated.
Jeff Leard connected with Roheem Blassingame on an 11-yard touchdown pass at 7:41 in the first quarter to give the Bulldogs (7-0, 5-0 in Region 8-AAA) the early edge. Jae Phaxton recovered an Eastside (2-5, 2-3) fumble and returned it 31 yards to stretch Hart County's lead to 14-0 with David Martin's extra-point kick.

I've had 'No Service' since about 12.30pm 12/03/2012 in various locations of West London where O2 signal is good.
No response from agents.
Third issue in 6 weeks of GiffGaff use, terrible service, time to go but need a working service to receive my PAC.
i too have come across from o2, in two months have had four problems and one of which is the loss of service and sim registration failed, this in my opinion is not acceptable as i need my phone for schools to get in touch with me and of course emergency calls from family, i am really hacked off, really considering switching back to o2 because i didnt have any hassle and yes giff gaff runs on the same network but cannot give the care and support some members are facing at present

I have also have no service since yesterday afternoon and haven't heard back from an agent yet either but thats hardly suppressing as i bet they have a lot of people to respond too. My partner and a colleague i sit next too at work are on GG and have no problems.
Purely out of curiosity I wonder if there is any common denominator here?
I don't think its location from what i have read but for completeness i'm in london.
I joined in Dec 2011.
I was previously an O2 customer.
I was effected by the port in problems in jan (lost service for a week)
This is now being investigated by our technical teams. We have collated and sent through enough affected members to investigate this fully. Those affected who haven't raised a case, please refrain from doing so for now until we provide further information.
Are you already effected? If you aren't i don't think coming to london will change that. I see two people on GG everyday and they are both ok. I have read on other threads about this that people are being effected all over the UK so i don't think its just a london thing. But i dont have all the info so i could be wrong.
I don't believe in random events like this, i think its more likely there is a connection. If there is or isn't i doubt its something that we can effect just something that could be useful for diagnosis.
Add me to the list - no service since 12/03/2012 1800, London. No response to my enquiry from yesterday.
Having spent Christmas & New Year with no service due to the porting disaster, then experiencing the usual stuff like goody bags / top-ups not working properly, money being removed from the account etc., this is the proverbial straw.
Amusingly, when I left O2 they offered effectively the same price as GG but I said 'I'd like to give GG a go'. The retentions agent said 'but the customer service with GG won't be as good' - I laughed and said 'who needs customer service with mobiles, they just work all the time'. How wrong was I?

Hibernate is some thing called as an ORM tool, however initially it started as a ORM tool there are lot of features that are added over the years, so that it is actually much more than ORM. ORM is in the data layer of an application, which is used to persist the application data into the database, it implements the JPA (Java Persistence API). JPA is a set of standards that follows the rules that have prescribed in the JPA specification.
Importance of hibernate:
Take an example of a simple Employee class in our application, it has 3 fields. In a running application we would have a lot of such objects in the memory, say I have 3 Employees in the application. I would have 3 Employee objects in my memory.
Now let me say I want to save this Employee data, so that I would have to use a database. 99 % of the time we would using the relation database because that is the most common database, at least as of today. We would have to persists all these Employee objects into the databases. Persistence is the another word for saving. How would I do that, I would have the employee table. And I would save the each Employee data in the form of rows in the employee table. I would have 3 columns that corresponds the properties in the Employee object. Each of the Employee data has to be saved in the employee table. Employee employee1 would be saved in the table as a row1 and Employee employee2 would be saved in the employee table as a row2 and as well. So this is some thing that, we have been doing over the years. We normally doing, when we come with Java application using the JDBC connection and we would connect with the database and then we would take this Employee object to persist.
Now I take this Employee object and I would get all these fields and would create sequel query to insert into the database. So depending on what the user information is, those data would go as a sequel query and it would be insert, and in the same way I would create a Employee object and I would have to do select on the employee table, once I do a select, I would get a result set. Now we have to parse the result set and get all the individual data sets and create a new Employee object and fill up with the resultant data using the setter methods.
So the problem here is that, we have objects in Java. But we do not have objects in the database level. The Employee object is individual entity that needs to be converted to table row as a individual entity. And the way we normally converted is by using some code which takes each of the Employee object properties, and takes each of the values of the member variable and maps it to sequel query. Now this mapping is the pain, we need to convert each object to a sequel query for saving and as well as retrieving. we would have to convert result set to an object for this we need to have another class for converting this functionality.
The pain points:
Mapping the member variables to columns :
we need to map the member variables to the columns. Each and every member variable can be persist has to be mapped manually.
Now lets say add a new column or add a new field in my object, now I want to make those changes in the code in order to map it I will hate to that particular lops where am I pulling up the records, I need to add these extra fields so that from the result set I will have to pull up this extra field. So any changes have to be done our selves, need to write our code in order to accommodate the changes. Even we didn't change any thing we need to write the code for mapping the variables.
Mapping relationships:
Now we saw user object mapped with the user table. Let"s say user object has a reference to another address object. Now how it would work, we probably have address table in that case I would have to map the user object to the user table and I have to map the address object to the address table and if there is a dependency between the two objects I would have to create a foreign key and then it is mapped to address table, primary key would be mapped as a foreign key of the user table. This relationship also have to be taken care of.
Handling Data Types:
Let's say I have a boolean in my user object say it is active user. Now I want to track whether a particular user is active or not. In order to do that I would declared it as a boolean and I will give a value true or false. Now how would I do that in the database. Most of the databases do not have boolean types. It would probably be a char. So that I can save "Y" or "N" or an integer it might has 0 in the case of false or 1 in the case true. But those are not really boolean but I will have to handle this database conversion my self when Iam actually writing the code to save the data or retrieve the data. So this manual handling is problem because if your making changes you have to go to that peace of code and make the change in that code.
Managing changes to the object state:
Now I pull up user information, I want userId 1 to 3, I pull it from data base. I have result set and then I will create an object and I pull all the data in to that object and I have the object ready. Now I passed it to the by business logic can change this object.like change the user email or last name as well. Now how would I manage this change, I will have to do again manually and execute the procedure to make this change to trigger and update query and what would be updated again we would have to frame a sql query as sets. And depending on the value that has changed we will have to update the changes in the database in order to accommodate the changes. So again this some thing that we need to handle ourselves.
These are the common pain points in any application.
So whats happened is many times because of this problems you would normally have an object that maps to a table so I have 5 tables so I have 5 Objects and most of the times I have this happened a lot we would not worry too much about establishing object relationships. Lets take the example of an Employee and address . Now the Employee has a particular address, Employee row in the Employee table has a corresponding address row in the address table. And it has been mapped by a foreign key now ideally if I have to represent an object I would have an address object and then I have to associated with the user object but what I would do is since its a pain to established this relationships depending on the primary key and foreign key I would treat a separate objects and Iam establishing a association based on the key itself even in the Java layers.
This is a big problem and this is some thing that many people have addressed over the years and there have been solutions which handle the solution elegant ways of handling this solution. Ideally the solution that addresses this problem will help us to map the objects with the relational database. Hence the name of what the solution is trying to do is called Object Relational Mapping so this is ORM. And this is the primary reason why hibernate even came into existence in order to help the users to map such a thing and it is a framework which addresses this among things and the primary use is to map this gap between objects and relational database.

Kush Tracey is one of Kenya's most prolific female rappers and she has been in the spotlight for not so starry reasons. The Huwezi Nidandia star recenlty walked away from her relationship with fellow rapper Timmy over an alleged physical attack at a popular nightclub. She talks to Caroline Nyanga about moving on and working on new projects.
SDE: What inspired your latest project Playboy?
I am basically expressing my heart desires about the kind of man I would love to spend the rest of my life with. I strongly believe that upon its release within the course of the week it will turn out huge.
SDE: Does this have anything to do with your recent break-up with Timmy Datt owing to the fact that you released the song two days after his Haitosi, which has since drawn speculations as to whether he out to get back at you?
Not really. I believe I tell it as it is and nothing more. However this does not mean that it may not draw mixed reactions once the video is out.
Meanwhile, Haitosi was written way back when we were still an item and we agreed that we would work on it together – but for some reason Timmy decided to break the rule.
SDE: What is your take on his latest song?
It's good work and I am happy for him. I wish him well knowing that he is a talented musician. I am one person who does believe in harboring negative feelings within me.
What are you up to at the moment?
I am in the process of shooting the video of my latest song. That aside, I am busy working on a number of projects that I strongly believe will elevate my musical career to a higher level. I bear ambition as my middle name and I intend to succeed where my predecessors failed.
SDE: How have you been coping after your breakup?
I am doing great and happy at the same time despite the shenanigans I recently underwent at the hands of my seemingly overprotective and jealous ex-boyfriend.
What are you saying?
That I refuse to let any man control all my movements and dictating how I should live my life. I thank God that it is in the past now.
Does this mean you would never date him again?
Never! I am one person who does not believe in making the same mistake twice- as in two wrongs don't make a right. But despite everything the least I can do is work with him musically speaking – as fellow musician and friend.
SDE: Earlier on Timmy accused you of cheating on him with a politician whose intimate pictures he claimed you went ahead to delete a day after your breakup? What is your take?
(laughs then pauses) That was just a way for him to justify his despicable actions besides riding on negative publicity.
Like I said his tactic to tarnish my name through bad press besides diminishing me as a brand has failed.
SDE: What of rumors that you were actually having strings of relationships with various celebrities while the two of you were still together?
Their rumors mean nothing to me. Backbiters will always remain in their position as I am happy to be in front of them.
SDE: You sound bitter?
This has nothing to do with me being bitter, rather I am just speaking my mind by calling a spade a spade and not a big spoon.
SDE: What are your future plans as far as music goes?
I want to inspire upcoming young rappers through my music by making them realize that nothing is impossible in achieving their goals in life as long as they are determined to do so.
I am that living example who made it despite the many life obstacles that stood my way. All they need to do is focus on their goal, go for it, work hard at it through patience and perseverance besides never giving up and they will be able to achieve their dreams.
SDE: In what ways has your newest music changed from when you first begun?
I have improved all around as far as my music and myself as a person goes. When I first begun I just wanted to make music, but I didn't know much about anything so I made what I heard other rappers making. I couldn't really be myself because I didn't know who I was.
Now, I know a lot more and I am more confident in my ability to not only write and record my music.
SDE: Last word?
I am an independent woman who has worked extremely hard to be where I am today and neither have I ridden on anyone's fame nor depended on anyone's money to sustain myself

European stock markets fell for a second day in a row as Greece looks set to miss a 1.6 billion euro (£1.1 billion) payment today, moving the country a step closer to leaving the euro.
London's FTSE 100 Index fell another 37.7 points to 6583.4, following yesterday's 2% decline, while the Dax in Germany and France's Cac 40 both dropped a further 1% after plunging nearly 4% on Monday.
The pound was a cent up on the euro, at just under 1.41, after hitting a seven-and-a-half year high against the euro on Monday as worries about Greece defaulting on its debts and leaving the single currency took their toll.
Connor Campbell, a financial analyst at broker Spreadex, said: "Understandably the eurozone indices have continued to dip further into the red following yesterday's calamitous day of trading, as investors await the outcome of this historical moment."
US stocks were also hit, suffering their worst day of the year after the Greek saga took another turn, with the country's banks shutting their doors as it prepares for a referendum that will effectively decide whether to stay in the euro.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 350.33 points, or 2%, overnight – wiping out all the gains seen so far this year.
Athens looks likely to default on its payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by today's 10pm deadline, with its current bailout also expiring at the same time.
Greece has been in talks for months with its three creditors – the IMF, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission.
The stricken country has closed its banks for a week and will see voters on Sunday decide on the latest deal put forward by its creditors.
Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has urged the country to vote against austerity proposals, but EU leaders have warned that rejection would mean Greece leaving the eurozone.
Big fallers on the FTSE 100 Index include supermarkets Tesco and Sainsbury's, which both fell by more than 2% on the back of data by research body Kantar, which showed that their market shares fell as a result of the ongoing supermarket price war.
However, heavyweight miners such as Antofagasta and BHP Billiton also fell by around 2%, as the gloom around Greece dragged down most sectors in the FTSE 100 Index.

It's like watching a train wreck (or watching My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.) Your eyes bug out and your mouth drops open because you can't believe what you are seeing.
More like a scale-model staging of a train wreck. Most of this garbage isn't for real. And even when it is there's a lot of hamming for the cameras. The hope is that they'll become famous and perhaps have a career in show business.
The sad thing is that I know people who are actually involved in stuff like this. One of my employees got herself suckered into the Mrs. Wisconsin contest about 15 years ago. She was already Mrs. South Milwaukee. What a racket, and you should have seen the amount of money she spent competing.
A former business partner's wife is deeply involved in the Jr. Miss and Miss Arkansas Teen pageants with 2 of her granddaughters. It's a whole way of life. IMHO, a sick way of life, but it is not for me to judge.
Another employee got suckered into a most beautiful baby contest about 10 years ago where she had to buy very expensive portfolios of pictures of her 1 year old to get her "modeling" jobs. She played along for about 3 years and never got her kid a job, as far as I know.
The most that can be said in favor of this is that the young woman learns comfort in front of an audience which might help her in later life. But, I'd rather see a kid take tennis or piano lessons.

My sister had a dinner for her future son-in-law, his mother and sister. She made a really delicious meal, and I contributed a homemade boursin cheese spread and my newest yummy chickpea recipe, which you can have here.
I spent a couple nights with my other sister and brother-in-law at my nephew's house in the far west San Fernando valley. Here's the house across street as viewed from the bedroom I stayed in. We celebrated my sister and brother-in-law's wedding anniversary at a posh Four Season's hotel and restaurant, where the Ceasar salad surprised us all. We'd never seen anything like it. The food was very good and each dish was presented in a very unusual way.In the entry there was a nice Buddha statue. I returned home from this trip feeling liked I'd had endless meal time. All good!
