Yes, it's time. The tile is UP and Grouted.
Don't scroll down and skip the story.
As you know I ended up choosing to repeat my beveled arabesque tiles in the new kitchen. I found every tile I brought home I would compare to the arabesque. I wanted to do something different though. I had so much help from all of your suggestions, I even did try a gray arabesque tile, but it was too dark. Some of you suggested I ask if it could be made a lighter gray. I did. And guess what? They are making a lighter gray. But I had a deadline and could not wait. So, I ended up back at square one. The white beveled arabesque tile. It is the tile that was in my head when I designed this kitchen.
With the desire to do something different still in my heart, I did a sample board with gray grout. It was lovely. Most of you expressed your opinion that I should do gray. As we all know this was not an episode of "Run My Renovation" and it was not an actual vote to determine the grout choice. I like to think of all your feedback as an opportunity to hear from you why you liked gray or why you thought white would be best. And there were powerful arguments for both sides.
However, none of you were here to experience the light in my kitchen, and the overall look of the counters, which are busy. As we often say to each other, "only you as the homeowner really know what looks right and what looks wrong". So, ultimately, the decision had to be made based on how the tile looked in this kitchen.
Corgimum was so kind to do various photoshop mock-ups for me. They were very helpful. I loved the way the gray emphasized the bevel and the shadow.
I did make a decision that I was 99% confident would be the right decision. But I still wanted to wait to see the first part of the wall done to make a final decision. After seeing the tile without grout and having the darker shadows my decision was finalized.
It's not what you might be thinking.
I went white. Again. My dh didn't care for the gray from the first time he saw it. And I was so scared that with the gray the first thing you would see was the tile when you walked into the room. It was actually distracting, and it didn't enhance as I had hoped. I needed the bs to read as "one" vs a sea of tiles. Another factor that came into play was the tile looks brighter with the white grout. It had a creamy look without grout. But when I added the white grout, it brightened up.
I did change one thing though. I went with unsanded grout. The joints were tight enough to do this, and I was able to have very small grout lines compared to last time. I actually think there are more shadows this time.
It took 2 full days to install the tile. It took me about 10 or so hours to grout it, which I spread over 3 days. My fingers are cut up and very sore. I still need to caulk, but I don't have any finger tips left to do the apply the caulk. I'll wait for Mr. Bee to return to the hive...he's off at a conference in Florida.
I just want to thank you all for your opinions. I do value all of them, and I hope this won't turn into a case of "why do we even give you our opinions if you do the opposite". I was so torn about which way to go, but in my heart, I know this is the right decision.
Without further adieu...
A template was made from styrofoam to be able to cut the tiles in 1/2 perfectly. Once we realized that there was going to be 76 tiles that had to be cut in 1/2....the time to design and cut out a template was well worth it.
This wall took about 3 hours.
grout on right, no grout on left
Last night I cleaned up all the icky grout supplies. I started to play with ideas for styling the kitchen for the photo shoot. Here is a quick vignette. I'll be playing around with the kitchen to figure out the right look. It's going to be a January magazine. So, I'm thinking the story will be "prepping for a dinner party" Colors will be yellow and blue. Ben Moore's color of the year is a yellow, and we have been seeing lots of of blue too.
Whoo hoo! Bee, it's lovely. The tight grout lines really made the difference. Congrats! Now, relax and enjoy that beautiful kitchen!
As you know, you have to go with what is in your heart (or gut!)--glad you did. Now you can enjoy your beautiful kitchen, without regrets. :-)
My preference is always "blend-in" grout. In your case though, I really think you could have gone either way and ended up with a terrific-looking backsplash. Though I liked the white (of course!), I actually (surprisingly, for me) thought the grey grout looked great as well. It (the sample board with grey grout) just gave it a slightly different look, not better, not worse. In other words, there really wasn't a "wrong" choice. So, that being said, I am happy you chose the option that made YOU the happiest deep down.
Lookin' good bee!
Looks gorgeous! I actually listened to you and read through everything even though I really wanted to scroll down quickly to see gray or white! lol
I don't think anyone would think "why do we even give you our opinions if you do the opposite"? It truly is just good to hear arguments in both directions to help you decide. Sometimes you get a 50/50 response but at least you usually lessen the chances of ending up with an unexpected result b/c of something you didn't think of! People around here are so great at coming up with just about every angle : )
Enjoy your beautiful kitchen!
Bee, it's gorgeous. Seeing the pic of one side grouted, the other not, tells the whole story. It does read as one, yet you can still see the individual shapes.
Thanks for your reveal story. I didn't peek until I read it. It's perfectly okay to ask for opinions, mull them over, and then make the decision that's right for you. Others' input helps clarify how you're seeing things and how you feel about it.
Initially I did like the look of the sample with the gray. But it was a small piece and pretty much in isolation from the whole kitchen. Scale plays a huge factor.
You did real good! Again. :)
Very nice! And wow what a process! You do such a nice job documenting the beauty in it's transformation for all of us to learn from. :)
I didn't vote and since everyone was in agreement that it would be great either way how can you go wrong...so instead I've been waiting for this reveal post and stalking continually for it!
Your kithcen is beautiful - enjoy and quick healing to those fingers!
Oh and I too followed directions and read before I scrolled - it wasn't easy but I am a quick reader, lol!
Just lovely! No matter which grout, white or grey, I knew it would be beautiful and it is. It did seem like you were leaning toward white but more hesitant because you did it before than liking grey. My dd11will be thrilled to know she picked same as you,lol.
Enjoy your beautiful kitchen!
Still gorgeous.
Hey, if you are going blue and yellow, get some props form Beagles!
As for "why do we even give you our opinions if you do the opposite", I feel that way sometimes too. But I think it is, or should be, an unwritten rule, that the OP should consider and respond to feedback, but is in no way obligated to take it!
It looks "beeyoutiful".
I don't think anyone ever judges our final decision because when it comes down to it we aren't living in your space and we have never seen it IRL - we don't know how the light plays or how the different elements interact and so make the best decision for ourselves. What we can do is just point out different things to consider, our pick and the reasons for it. (But then white was my choice).
Now, I hope you will post the formal shots when done. Or any other pics you want to share.
looks great! and since you didn't get to enjoy it in the last kitchen for a very long time - now you can keep on enjoying it in the new kitchen.
don't remember if I 'voted' on your thread by typing it out but I did in my head - for the white. I did think the grey grout would make it too busy.
enjoy - and hope your fingers heal soon.
wow that is gorgeous. Hope you don't mind if I pin this to my inspiration kitchen pictures? I've got to find a way to use these!
I'm baaack!!! Hope you didn't think I was being rude.
My computer tanked this afternoon and I couldn't get back on and reply.
Just let me say thanks for the kind words. I will post some more pics in a bit. I'll start another thread and ask for some styling tips...what do you think looks better in the photos, etc. (square or round plates....white or yellow...blue or white napkins...etc.)
Thanks again
PS--it hurts to type with 2 holes in your pointer finger :(
I was right! You went with white!!
It looks awesome and so you!
I love the smiley tile and your template - your backsplash is a labor of love!! Zowie!!!!
You made the absolute right decision - I kept vacillating on the computer pictures - but only you can see it live and in person!
Love your theme - how could I not - maybe make it "maize and blue" - In reality, I am not a true blue Wolverine fan despite my handle and location. (If I am home and nothing else to do - will watch a game)
Can't wait to see your award winning pictures in print.
Congratulations on an awesome kitchen and backsplash!!
Because the white grout looks so nice, I only cried for five minutes that you didn't go with the gray grout. I am in Chicago after all, and figured the multiple votes I submitted under fake names would actually get through... ;)
In all serious, and as others have said, you really couldn't go wrong with either color, and the white really does look stunning!
Enjoy your space, and good luck with the photo shoot! Blue is my favorite color, so I look forward to seeing the pics...
Wow, that range hood is serious.
What brand is it?
Did the hood come with the range backsplash and shelf, or was that custom?
One word...perfection! I cannot even imagine another tile and grout than what you chose. You have exquisite taste!
It's beautiful. I was not involved in your other thread about the grout, so didn't see the photoshopped gray images, but I cannot imagine your BS any other way than you've done it.
And, I too just got back from a conference in Florida. Small world - I bet you it was the same one as your DH (the IECA?).

It is by the now defunct Independent. I bought if from a distributor on eBay who was stuck with inventory when Independent went out of business. They were always so highly regarded by GW members. It is a 1200cfm fan and I love it. It is also 27" deep which is a joy when stir frying on the front burner!
The shelf is part of the 24" back guard that came with the Blue Star range top. We had the piece b/n the shelf and the hood fabricated by a local Amish sheet metal fabricator.
akchicago-he was at K2. It was on Amelia Island.
glo1751--I personally didn't cut them, but dh did.
Thanks again to everybody.
Beautiful! I was torn between the 2 colors, curious to see gray, but worried aout gray being the trendy color now. Knew from your last kitchen white was a sure thing and figured the shadow between the tiles would give you enough shadow and contrast and it does. I LOVE IT!!! I could never get tired of this timeless kitchen.
I didn't realize you were doing the tiling yourself. Wow, impressed on so many levels. What a labor of love and it paid off.
Now onto your more recent staging threads. I was traveling and couldn't get to a computer and was hoping I'd find the big reveal next time I logged into Gardenweb!
Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on getting it finished, Bee! A real stunner, again. I didn't vote because it's truly hard to really get the full impact in a photo, as you so well described. I've been lurking for the past several days. Saw your yellow and blue staging post earlier today. I will say I like the blue plates with the yellow napkins best.
I just saw this thread. Hope the fingers heal quickly and feel better soon.
I shared the thought process with you. I loved the arabesques and identified them with your kitchen. That made them right for you, but I could understand wanting to do something different. The grey grout was a nod to different and looked great with the tile, but I think you made the right choice for your kitchen.
You had the last kitchen such a short time that I don't think it is bad to repeat something you loved. The greatest risk is tiring of something too soon, but I don't think that is going to happen here. This also doesn't look like a copy of your last kitchen, I really like the tight grout lines you got this time. It's beautiful.
I did see your staging thread. Have fun with that.

Overly Hysterical Obama Jumps Into Michigan Right To Work Fight
And, as usual, the Campaigner in Chief was equal parts class warrior, divisive, and full of mule fritters
(The Hill) President Obama on Monday injected himself into an escalating fight over changing Michigan into a right-to-work state, saying the state Legislature's move to ban the required paying of union dues was all about politics.
The quick entry into the fight by Obama suggests the White House could be more aggressively involved in the Michigan fight than in a similar battle in Wisconsin in 2011.
It also signaled an alliance between Obama and labor amid fiscal talks in which Obama will be under pressure to offer Republicans entitlement reforms opposed by unions.
Once again (NMP) Obama is showing that he is the president of only a segment of America, taking sides against others.
"I've just got to say this," Obama said at the Daimler Detroit Diesel plant in Michigan before a small crowd of workers. "What we shouldn't be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages and working conditions. We shouldn't be doing that.
Except, that is not what right to work laws do. They simply mean that people cannot be forced to pay union dues and/or join a union in order to get a job and work. Outrageous, eh?. The Michigan law doesn't touch union bargaining in the least. One shouldn't expect Obama to know the actual facts when there is a sympathetic crowd in attendance, should we? One which will give him the adulation he desires right before heading off to his 1%er vacation in Hawaii.
"You know, these so-called right-to-work laws, they don't have to do with economics, they have everything to do with politics," Obama added to applause and cheers from the crowd. "What they're really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money."
That's weird: he held his recent convention here in North Carolina, a right to work state. But, he is sort of correct: people who work and are paid union dues do bring home less than their non-dues paying co-workers, since the unions yank money out of their paychecks. Why does Obama want people to make less?
"What we shouldn't be doing is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages," Obama told a small crowd at the plant. "We don't want a race to the bottom. We want a race to the top."
In the Obamaeconomy, that race apparently involves snails, based on how well the economy has recovered. And, if you want to see the results of long term Democrat policies, which include over the top unionization, just take a look at these before and after pictures of Detroit. That's the view of America after Obama.
Anyhow, God forbid that workers have the right to choose. Obama doesn't like that.

Trade deficit on course for surplus
Tuesday, December 25, 2012
While Washington wrestles with the nations burgeoning budget deficits, some good news has emerged on the other deficit front: The nations bloated trade deficit appears to be turning the corner, with at least one prominent economist predicting it will disappear altogether within a decade.
A recent wave of re-shoring of overseas manufacturing plants by U.S. chemical, auto and other companies signals the revival of U.S. competitiveness in many industries vis-a-vis Europe, Japan, China and other major trade partners. The trend got a big push recently from a dramatic drop in American natural gas prices, making the U.S. a highly desirable location for manufacturers relying on gas for energy and as a component in plastics, chemicals and other essential materials.

Bright Red Bark & Neon Green Leaves
If you're in need of a tree that does it all, the Coral Bark Japanese Maple will suit your needs!
Even in the Winter this tree stands out from the rest. The striking red bark makes a statement in an otherwise boring winter landscape. Its foliage is mostly green with reddish-pink tinges of color at first, then turning into medium green for the summer season and finally taking on autumn-like hues of fiery red, bright yellow and rusty orange in late summer. A must have for any garden!
This compact version fits anywhere! It grows to approximately 15-25 feet tall with a smaller width. Plant it as an accent tree along your foundation, or even put it in a container and grow it on your patio.
'Sango Kaku' loves sun to part shade, prefers moist well-drained soil, and is heat tolerant. Coral Bark Japanese Maples are hardy in zones 5-8.
This tree makes a wonderful focal point, can be planted in groups and is great near porches, entryways, and decks. The dazzling display of seasonal colors is well worth it the wait.

On my mission we would work so hard finding investigators and getting them to the point of attending church only to have the members make no effort whatsoever to fellowship them. Some investigators would feel so unwelcome that they would discontinue the discussions. Others would be baptized and shortly thereafter go inactive. We even discussed this with the bishops of the wards this occurred in, but nothing changed. This experience has highlighted the importance of going out of my way to be friendly to visitors, investigators and new members in the ward.

Unfortunately the only thing you can do is move
I suggest starting right here at the FTF by stopping by the "State by State" subforums. Introduce yourself and start asking about a local based firearms ownership and/or shooting organization. Attend some meetings... Make more friends. Form a reisitance alliance to the current political climate. Start organizing protests... In the meantime, keep writing, keep emailing, keep calling. Make yourself a pain-in-the-@$$ pebble in their SHOE.... Help in the elections for pro-2a candidates and try like HELL to get these bums out!!
THEN join or donate to the NRA, Gun Owners of American, the NSSF, the JPFO... ALL of the above!!! .... Never just shruge and say "Oh well"... That way they win!!http://home.nra.org/ http://gunowners.org/ http://www.nssf.org/ http://jpfo.org/
What can you do?
I try to educate people about politics. I finally turned my mom against Democrats. I have helped others to see the light also.
I hear your pain I am in CA I hope to retire in 3 to 5 years hope I can survive it
I want to thank every one for the input. Im going to see who i can find in my area. Join a few shooting clubs and see if we cant make a difference. I already donate what ican to the nra i believe that it makes a difference. After reading the revised gun laws that maloy change it finaly made me thing there is no hope. He changes things in the middle of the night and at his discression. Now i know when elections come around no way in hell, even in jesus him self told me to vote for maloy its not happening!!! I just was hoping that some day it changes. The goverment was started as a public service and now it seems that we are the goverments servents. Idk all i can say is that as long as theres a breath in my lungs, a beat in my heart and the red white and blue behind me i wont give up.
Somebody has to speak for these people. Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know thisthey will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people...better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. Mal Reynolds Serenity/Firefly

Alabama makes sure no Airbus suppliers come to Miss.
Published: April 5,2013
Tags: aviation, bill, economic development, employ, employee, employer, job, law, lawmaker, legislation, legislative, legislator, Legislature, manufacture, manufacturer, manufacturing, ment, state government, supplier, work, worker
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — In an effort to ensure that Airbus aircraft suppliers move to Alabama and not neighboring states, Alabama leaders have enacted a new law putting a time limit on lawsuits against the airplane manufacturer and its suppliers.
The Alabama Senate gave final approval to the legislation yesterday, 27-0, and Gov. Robert Bentley quickly signed it into law.
The new law limits lawsuits against a plane's manufacturer and suppliers to causes of action arising within 12 years after a plane is delivered. Until now, proponents said, the time had been unlimited.
The bill is tailored for the new Airbus plant in Mobile because it applies only to commercial planes with at least 100 seats. Bentley recruited Airbus last year with $158 million in cash, tax breaks and other incentives. The groundbreaking is set for Monday. The $600 million plant is expected to employ 1,000.
Bentley said 3,700 more jobs could be created by companies supplying products to the plant. The governor visited Europe four months ago to talk to potential suppliers about locating plants in Alabama. After that visit, he said Mississippi and Florida had stricter litigation laws than Alabama, and they were using that to recruit suppliers because both states are near Mobile.
"Without this bill, suppliers could very easily choose to build in Florida or Mississippi, which already have similar laws," Bentley said Thursday. "With this legislation, Alabama is now on a level playing field, and we can recruit more supplier jobs for people in our state."
In addition to limiting lawsuits to 12 years after a plane is delivered, the legislation requires a person to sue within two years after a cause of action arises. That two-year period extends from the last day of the 12-year limit. The bill also makes it harder for out-of-state residents to sue Airbus and the suppliers in Alabama if the issue that triggered the lawsuit occurred elsewhere.
Alabama's agreement with Airbus for the Mobile plant required state officials to do their best to pass the legislation. The bill was a compromise worked out with plaintiff lawyers. It moved through the House and Senate without a negative vote.
So far, Alabama has landed one Airbus supplier, Safran Engineering Services, which plans to employ 30 to 50 people in an engineering supporting facility in Mobile.

Yes I've just read it and it does say about additional projects and ranks in an update later. However I would say that if you had 500 members most of them would fall into the lowest 4 ranks with only about 10% being ranked higher. Unless you like to have ranks to flesh out the role playing, to actually work as a fleet, you really don't need more than 7 ranks and that includes a probation rank.
The fact is 90% of players will only need access to inviting to fleet and fleet maps, fleet stores and donating to projects. Banks are controlled in relation to rank but it all depends on how your bank is set up. Yes you will end up with a lot at low ranks but so long as they can use what they need and access what they want most will be happy.

Amsterdam, 29 January 2015. 2014 has been a breakthrough year for the Dutch tech start-up ecosystem. Government has stepped up its game, accelerators and incubators are thriving and more capital than ever is flowing towards start-ups. Active early-stage investor SanomaVentures summarises its year in the SanomaVentures 2014 infographic.
Government stepping up support
The importance of start-ups for the economic development has been acknowledged by the Dutch Government, which has taken concrete action to create a more attractive environment for entrepreneurs. Criteria for temporary VISA have been eased for start-up teams and budget for government loans or guarantees for venture capital funds and innovative starters has been widened. Special envoy Neelie Kroes has launched the StartupDelta programme, with the mission to make The Netherlands one of the leading start-up hubs in Europe. As part of this initiative, the City of Amsterdam has announced an investment of €5.2 million to support start-ups and increase access to working spaces, talent and capital.
Accelerators and incubators thriving
University incubators and commercial accelerators have expanded their activities and new programs are emerging. Utrecht Inc. ranked as the world's second fastest growing 'knowledge based incubator' and Amsterdam's ACE VentureLab ranked third as best new academic incubator. Leading European accelerator StartupBootcamp expanded their presence in The Netherlands with an E-commerce program in Amsterdam and a High-Tech program in Eindhoven.
SanomaVentures crossing borders
In 2014, SanomaVentures received over 350 investment requests, talked to 124 companies and negotiated with 28 entrepreneurs, which ultimately resulted in 4 new investments. Besides these new investments SanomaVentures executed 6 follow-on investments in existing portfolio companies, of which 2 alongside international VC's. The 14 companies in SanomaVentures' portfolio realised an average revenue growth of 90% in 2014 and currently offer employment to over 220 people. Many portfolio companies expanded internationally; SanomaVentures itself opened a second investment office in Helsinki, Finland.
More capital
European venture capital investment last year reached its highest level since the dot-com boom according to data provider Dow Jones VentureSource. The Netherlands has not been an exception to this trend. According to a list of investment transactions compiled by StartupJuncture, Dutch tech start-ups raised a record €500 million in 2014. Adyen was the first Dutch start-up to reach the so-called unicorn status, raising €200 million at a valuation of $1.5 billion. More Dutch start-ups than ever raised series A, B or C financing rounds, such as Peerby, Blendle, 3Dhubs, CataWiki, ElasticSearch or Takeaway.com. The larger, later-stage financing rounds were mostly coming from international investors, who seem to have discovered The Netherlands as fertile grounds this year. Also more Dutch seed and early-stage investors have entered the market. SanomaVentures, active since 2012, participated last year in seven of the fifty-five listed deals between €0.1 million and €5 million funding.

To join other Oregon PSR members for this march, please meet at the Salmon Street Fountain at 9:50 AM and look for the green Oregon PSR banner.
Portland's event is co-sponsored by the Albina Ministerial Alliance Coalition for Justice and Police Reform, the Urban League of Portland, NAACP of Portland, Oregon Historical Society, Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, Oregon PSR and other groups.

Our Food Patriot K.F. Seetoh still hasn't wiped the foam from his mouth from ranting about food bloggers, which is why I'm telling you now, I'm not a food blogger.
I don't know how to write about food except to tell you I like it or not. But there's a chance I might like a restaurant or cafe simply because the people who run it are nice, and are passionate about the things they make.
But there are places where we would probably have avoided if we looked closer before making a reservation.
Saturday afternoon offered one such place. We'd driven past it several times, and the location had once been a Swiss-German restaurant we liked. So I made a reservation, and picked up the family to go there for lunch. It looked like a pretty hip place from the outside, with the raw, distressed metal and glass and cement finishes.
Plus, it served ribs and wine, because from the name, you'd know it did. But once we opened the door and got in to be seated by the very friendly and attentive wait staff, we knew we were in trouble.
First, they piped-in Kenny G! In place of what you'd expect a hip rib joint to play! Secondly, we were the only people in the restaurant apart from the staff.
Then, when we asked for recommendations, the (really friendly and attentive) waiter obliged by giving us this, his only suggestion: "If you don't mind spicy, then you should try our spicy pork ribs".
Thank goodness for the Kenny G muzak, or else we might have had our brains working.
Then came time for us to dabao what we couldn't finish. We were told, "Takeaway container is 50c". There would have been complete silence at that moment if not for Kenny G.
We found the food to be pretty 'meh' considering the price, but don't rely on me to tell you, because like I said, I'm not a food blogger, and maybe they're better known for their wines.Tweet
OK the fortnight is almost up, and I think I've lost the Blogger Challenge component (to get as many people to sign up for the 1 Million kg challenge) of the campaign.
That means a forfeit. Of me wearing spandex and doing yoga or some other exercise designed to make me look more ridiculous than I already do. So please, if you want to save your eyes and those of the nation, do your part and let me not be last if there's still time.
Being a part of this campaign has been interesting. Not least because I got my friends thinking about what they're eating and what they're doing about their health. I get lunch reports from friends telling me what they've had and what they've cut out. A fried chicken meal is now had apologetically.
Last week, a friend brought Naomi and I a box of delicious nonya kuehs sprinkled with coconut and guilt.
Personally I don't believe in putting even more stress on myself when it comes to my own health. I count myself lucky I'm able to enjoy tasty and unhealthy goodies once in a while, and in moderation. But to be able to do that requires a little bit of thought into what I'm eating.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with having pre-diabetes and I'm quite sure if I hadn't modified my diet then, I'd have upsized it to full diabetes by now. I'm now so used to not having soft drinks or any drinks with added sugar that the last time I had a gingerale, I had a stomach ache for a whole night. Most days now, the drink accompanying my meal is a glass of water or a cup of unsweetened tea.
It pays to be mindful, and I'm glad we eat healthily in our household. I know it's hard to change our mindsets – but like the proliferation of soup stalls shows, once we create the demand for healthier food, the supply will follow.
If the 1 million kg challenge is new to you, or your friends, sign up, and sign them up. Oh lordy save me.Tweet
There's been a surge in soup shops across the CBD in the past two years, catering to workers' increasing preference for healthier options. I've tried some of these places, and I've never gone back to any. Soups dished out from boiling vats are simply depressing, and most of them don't taste good.
It is difficult finding cheap, healthy, and tasty lunch options, but I think this trinity might have finally arrived in the form of this nondescript food stall in a coffee shop in Bukit Merah Central. Thanks are due to Dr Leslie Tay and the HPB's 1 Million kg Challenge for bringing us to this place.
Called Lim's Soup (The Art of Soup), the food stall is lovingly owned and operated by Eric Lim in the day. By night, Eric does something in finance. He didn't elaborate and I didn't ask what it is that requires you to work at night in finance, because when you make soup as awesome as his shop does, why would you want to talk about anything in finance?
Soups are different at Lim's, as Eric explains – there is a science (and and art) to "double-boiling" soup. The indirect heat extracts the flavour of the soup's ingredients without overcooking (yes you can overcook soup) them. The results are clear broths and subtle flavours that dispense with the need for further seasoning, or god forbid, MSG.
Apart from the soups, Lim's offer three grained steamed rice with a topping of cabbage as accompaniment, as well as menu items such as steamed minced meats with various toppings like salted egg yolk.
There's also a dish of baked rice with salted fish which is probably the best I've ever tasted. At other places, you'd probably dig into the dish and bite into chunks of salted fish which kill your tastebuds. Not so with Lim's version because the salted fish is so finely minced that it infuses the entire dish.
The thing that'll probably make me lim a lot more of Lim's Soup is that they deliver (if you order a day in advance). They'll double boil your order and put them in vacuum flasks that will keep your dishes warm for two hours. This is because Eric thinks microwaving your soup to reheat them is an insult to every ingredient in your soup. He's such a double-boiled soup nazi about it that he'll let you keep the vacuum flask and only collect them the day after you've finished your meal. Now, that's dedication.

When I went to uni with this bunch of fellas, we used to dare each other to do really stupid things. Like playing football at night in winter, topless, or diving into the surf at Bondi at night in winter with clothes on – this went on even after we left uni and returned to Singapore.
Once when we were at some expensive bar, we dared each other to do a runner. We all ran, but in wrong directions, and no one stopped us because we were shrieking like girls.
If we had a motto, it would have been the commando-like "Who Dares Wins", but localised: "Who Scared Who? (Nabeh!)"
A nicer way of putting it would be that we all got along because we liked giving things a shot. My friend Shakir played in a Sydney rugby club with me before even learning the rules, and we both went abseiling precisely because we were scared of heights.
Once a student of aeronautics and a licenced commercial pilot, but who had the worst timing when it came to graduation – in 2002, Muslim trainee pilots held (and still hold) the world record for most number of planes flown into skyscrapers – Shak never once saw work as a pilot.
But always on the lookout for something interesting to do, the dude I'm proud to have been friends with for 18 years is now co-running this new joint in the newly hipster Jalan Besar Stadium neighbourhood, Shak revealed that the name, The Bravery, came about because "if you want to open cafe, must be damn brave man".
Besides the damn kok etymology, The Bravery's other noteworthy pedigree is that it is set up by the people who opened The Plain, on Craig Road in Tanjong Pagar. With that comes super coffee (they don't roast their own beans, but that's more than made up for by expert baristas who make sure your coffee is never burnt or sour), great sandwiches, and this breakfast item you have to have:
The Brave Bergedil is poached egg on bergedil corned beef hash with avocado and turkey bacon. Apart from the turkey bacon (which tips it over to the halal side of breakfasts), this combo works – I don't care what this blogger says.
People who work nearby and who are familiar with Chye Seng Huat Hardware and Windowsill Pies (you know who you are, you Mad (Wo)Men) must come here for your coffee and light lunch fixes. And because they're open all weekend, it's worth coming out to Match-Fixers' Central. Apparently it's packed on weekdays but Sundays see crowds smaller than a regular S-League match.

Our love-hate relationship with Bali continued this trip, with our ideal idyllic villa getaway shared with our friends celebrating their anniversary turning into a three day battle with mosquitoes (and the holey mosquito net) before we retreated to a multi-storey hotel with fewer bugs.
Constant traffic jams on single-laned roads plied by mercenary cabbies whose reflex upon seeing us with kids in tow was to charge a prix fixe R50,000 (about $6) made for unpleasant afternoons. But watching the three children in our entourage charge at waves on Seminyak's grey sanded beaches were the highlights along with some great food at some of the most beautiful beach club restaurants in the world. Coffee places in nooks of shops are also the norm along this stretch of south Bali, and you'd want to abandon the hotel breakfasts for a great espresso fueled brekkie.
Australian style. Great breakfasts with bread and pastries from Monsieur Spoon – whose owner broke fast with us and told us he made the best croissants in Asia. I have invited him to set up shop in Singapore. You can thank me when that happens.
Go for GG's Breakfast Burrito. Only cos you're on holiday and you can have a burrito for breakfast
Great coffee, but the food so so. My entrecôte and frites was so underdone they refunded me.
Best Indonesian fare ever. Puts Sanur and every other Indonesian outlet you've ever had in Singapore to shame.
Great seafood – try the fish pan grilled Indonesian style. And the marinated sardines are great too.
The Seminyak branch is slightly more comfortable than the Ubud original. The ribs and bebek goreng are still great, as are the killer martinis. Order one and the waiter does a dance.
The place to be for Bali sunsets. Drinks are so so, but there's a mean snack platter. Beautiful people gather here to watch the sunset and each other.
Randall's cousin chum siong with one of the chefs to make an exception and allow our kids to dine with us (for this, we are eternally grateful). Fantastic food with a great ambience.
Another place we decided to go to after Melody thought it'd be great after the kids got to muck around at the beach – which was crazy crowded because it was Sunday (every Balinese boy and dog are on the beach playing football on Sunday). The appetizers were great but the mains, while still good, were a little underwhelming.
Our party gave this place a star just for the decor/architecture – I have never seen a restaurant like this. The kelas atas Indonesian fare was simply fabulous, and you won't go wrong ordering everything on the menu – just bring more friends to eat with. Probably the only people to complain would be the staff, because the kitchen is inexplicably upstairs while all of the tables bar three are downstairs. You'd have to ace your shuttle run to work here.
Our tips for enjoying Bali: Eat at the above places, bring lots of bug repellent, sunscreen, and always tell the taxi driver, "meter please".Tweet
There's this large patch of grass at U-Town, NUS that was today almost completely bare, bar three Ang Moh students playing a sad game of three man touch football.
If this had been on a campus in Australia, the lawn would have been chock full of students lying on it, getting some sun. There would also have been four or five games of different forms of football being played at the same time, with playing areas marked by shoes, slippers or bags.
But this is Singapore, and the only other populated area were the seats under the sheltered alfresco area across from us, where students looked like they were studying.
Just sayin'.
Anyway, it was really good to know that for all the branded-chained restaurants everywhere on campus, there's one cafe that sells honest, healthy food: Central Park @ U Town.
(And especially for blazing saddle days like today, they carry Popaganda popsicles too!)Tweet
Once I found out I was suffering from hypertension, I wasted no time and went to Funan to buy a blood pressure monitor dock that works with iOS. Mais well, right?
So it turns out that without hypertension medication (I'm only on two types of statins), my BP has come down from 157/90 to 129/90. I'd like to think my diet has something to do with it, but my mother-in-law will attest that it is her insistence that I drink this yucky infusion of black fungus and goji berries, boiled and chopped into bits that stick to your teeth, every morning, that has something to do with it.
Anyone else has other BP-lowering foods your families swear by?Tweet
Anyone else had an angiogram before and whose arm aches like all buggery even after a week? Mine does.
But apart from that, I've rested a few days, gone straight into work at writing the Hossan Leong Show: Flying Solo with Hirzi and Jasmine (the multi-tasking Stage Manager) – got your tickets yet? – and have continued eating healthily without being too Fascist about it, because birthdays do come with cakes, and it's all about eating a lot less of it rather than saying no food and drink allowed.
Like I mentioned before I've had great help staying on the wagon because of Naomi's meal planning, as well as our champion helper's initiatives – just check out this lunch I've just eaten: Wholemeal tortilla with pea sprouts, tomato and chickpea salsa, avocado and organic smoked cheddar. Stuff you can stuff/wrap and stuff yourself with easily.Tweet

NYPD K-9 tracks down subway fare beater
K-9 Diesel helped collar a subway turnstile jumper who threw an officer to the ground before fleeing
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A New York City police dog is being credited with helping collar a subway turnstile jumper who threw an officer to the ground.
The officer chased the fare beater as he ran from the 14th Street and Eighth Avenue subway station Wednesday evening.
Police say the suspect threw the officer to the ground and fled, leaving behind a shirt and baseball cap.
That's when Diesel, a transit K9 German shepherd, arrived. The 7-year-old pooch sniffed the clothes and headed west on 16th Street.
Diesel and Officer Edwin Ramirez then went to a second-floor of the Dream Hotel where a 32-year-old Jersey City, N.J., man was arrested. The man was charged with theft of service, resisting arrest, criminal trespass and obstructing governmental administration.
The transit officer suffered a wrist injury.

Tips For Wine Storage !
2 Comments
12/26/2007 - 18:12
We have 2 wine storage refrig w/temp and humidity control-one for whites and one for reds as optimum storing temps vary for each. It makes a big difference on preserving those aging flavours. Ours are under the counter models and store 2 cases each (24 bottles). Other great storage is against an inside wall, especially if you have AC to maintain that top heat range. Shanti/Mary-Anne

Great wine storage tips! Thanks.

Marlins planning 170-inning shut down for Jose Fernandez
Jul 19, 2013, 10:47 AM EDT
Jose Fernandez's outstanding rookie season will come to a premature end, as Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reports that the Marlins plan to shut the 20-year-old rookie down once he reaches around 170 innings.
Coming into the season the Marlins talked about limiting Fernandez to 150-170 innings, but he's been so good that they're willing to stretch that a little bit if needed. Still, he's already thrown 105 innings and is on pace to throw about 185, so he's going to miss some starts at some point.
Fernandez made the jump from Single-A to the majors after throwing 134 innings in the minors last season, so the Marlins are being smart by limiting his workload in a non-contending season. His future is extremely bright and Fernandez made his first All-Star team by throwing 105 innings with a 2.75 ERA and 103/40 K/BB ratio in the first half.

My partner and I stopped in here for lunch one afternoon and were seated close to the large television so we could watch the world cup. Our server seemed surprised when we ordered an appetiser with our dishes and brought over our drinks and complimentary bread in a timely fashion.
The bread was very stale and the butter was hot...
- They don't serve authentic brazilian food
- They put us to sit in the sun, when we asked to change tables they gave us an angry look and said "changing seats is not allowed". After a lot of argument, I said "Either I sit in one of those tables or I am leaving. If you can eat with 36C...
We went there by chance and we were pleasantly surprised. The Picanha beef was very good, the rice and beans were very tasty. The service was reasonably quick (we got there Friday around 6PM), and we did not wait long to order and get our food.

The picanha is wonderful and parmegiana beef too!!!
