Stop everything! Call off the parades! Fly the flags at half mast! Liam Hemsworth has a broken arm.
I know you guys, this is SUPER serious. Also, we were literally JUST talking about how Liam is one of the hot Australians we should celebrate on Australia Day.
Anyway, the actor was spotted at a medical building in Santa Monica today, sporting a cast on his right arm. What has happened? What has he done? Will everything be okay?!?! Read More »

1.0-9631 x86_64, Screen Resolutions gone missing
I have configured the driver and it have worked more than a week. I had a problem that it always started in 1024x768 so I always had to change it after I booted. I tried to "save to X Configuration file" but it didn't work.
My problem now is that The 1280x1024 resolution isn't present in the resolution table anymore, now the biggest resolution is 1280x800.
My log file was too big to be appended, so I link it here http://www.speedyshare.com/209336962.html
After a reboot it works again? I am confused. I didn't check the possible resolutions when i ran "startx -- -logverbose 6" so that might not give any information. I will get back to you if this problem persists.
Now this post may be useless, but, anyone else experienced this problem?
Re: 1.0-9631 x86_64, Screen Resolutions gone missing
According to your bug report, 1024x768 is the largest mode that you're requesting in xorg.conf, and that's what you're getting. If you want 1280x1024, you need to request it in your xorg.conf.

AJ's: Ski Shop
The very helpful young guy at AJ's ( Tom? I think...) pretty much saved me a few hundred $ in new ski boots by "fixing" the ones I have....thank you! It is nice when you find someone being helpful, instead of just trying to sell you something.
( my ski boots were too tight around my ankles and he heated them, and stretched them a little, it did the trick! One place recommended that I buy new ski boots, for $400, a size SMALLER. Hello!! I think them being a little tight was the problem in the first place....)
We also rented Colin's snowboarding equipment there.
What to buy: Ski and snowboarding equipment. They make Burton snowboards right in Vermont.
You can rent equipment at this store for a reasonable amount and they are very helpful fixing things also.
What to pay: My son's snowboarding equipment was around $100 for 5 days rentalRelated to:

Dobra Tea: Where to buy loose leaf tea in Burlington
Dobra tea is located just off Church St near the Parking Garage and is a neat little place. You can buy loose leaf tea as well as Fair Trade coffee here and their tea selection is amazing. Be aware that they are tremendously "earth-friendly" and that any hot tea will be served in a mason jar with a napkin wrapped around it (which tends to scorch your poor hands) which is kind of stupid but commonplace. The 20-something behind the counter is knowledgeable about tea and can help you out alot in your selection.
What to buy: I personally like the Dragon Balls Green tea balls (literally) and the Morrocan Mint teas the best, and I have bought both in different quantities. Ask them about there specials.
What to pay: A 2 Gram jar/bag of tea will cost you around $15-20, but you should check the price list.
Church Street Marketplace: Charming Street Shopping
Church Street is lined with dozens of restaurants and shops in all price ranges and all interests. The shops include chains like Borders Books as well as small local businesses selling Vermont souvenirs like maple syrup and pewter items. There's always something going on in the middle too - street performers, carts selling snacks, and a little train for the kids runs the length of the street. It's a charming place to visit.
What to buy: Dairy products, maple products, and pewter.
What to pay: The street has shops in all price ranges.Related to:
- Budget Travel
- Arts and Culture
Peace and Justice store: good place for bumper stickers
The Peace and Justice store is an activist hangout and has lots of handcrafts and literature to support local and national causes. I often use it to find another witty bumper-sticker to slap on my guitarcase. They also have lots of postcards, hackey sacks, and alternative magazines.
What to buy: I buy crazy liberal bumper stickers here, but they also carry alot of good mags like Tikkun, Tricycle, Outdoor Life, Mother Jones.
What to pay: stuff ranges from 10 cents to 75 bucks for some handicrafts.Related to:

Green Mountain Gringo Salsa: Green Mountain Gringo-Best Salsa in New England!
Green Mountain Gringo has been making salsa since around 1993. The place is family owned and I went to school with the daughter of one of the owners. Located just before the main downtown depot of Chester on the Chester-Springfield Rd the place is spacious and the salsa is very good, They even make a very good Green Salsa for a little variety.
What to buy: Obviously, the Salsa. You can get it in a small Mason Jar or a Family Size Mayo Jar. The small jar retails for about $6 while the big jar is around $10-11.
What to pay: See Above.Related to:
- Arts and Culture
- Road Trip
Dobra Tea: Just to be sure
Thanks for the comments on the tearoom. As an employee since opening, maybe I am out of place, but I just want to make sure the facts are straight. We actually don't offer coffe at all, but are pretty strictly tea and light fare. We do offer to-go in mason jars, but for a variety of reasons and, last but certainly not least, I can't think of a single tea we have that costs $15-20 for 2 grams! Our ethic revolves around everyday tea drinking, and slowing down to do so. Plain and simple. Therefore, we try to keep a large selection of fine, quality, but affordable teas. . .teas you can afford to drink everyday, and they average $2-4/oz!
Thanks again for all the other comments. . .happy tea drinking!

Darkside: Darkside Snowboard Shops
There is a Darkside Snowboard shop in Stowe and one in Ludlow. Both are great for getting anything snowboard related, or renting boards. My son ( still growing) has rented one for several years from them and was very happy with the boards. They even installed his bindings on their boards.
What to buy: Snowboards ( rentals also) and snowboard equipment
What to pay: We paid around $100 for a week's rental of a Burton snowboardRelated to:

Danang, Vietnam
It seems like a life time ago we went to Danang. Life in the GA household is never dull, have been super busy with Dragon, work and traveling a little. Since Danang, we have been to Indonesia for my cousins wedding, and a short trip to Singapore for some eateries. On top of that, we were also in Sydney for 2 weeks, so this blog has been slightly neglected, and I am truly sorry!
Now, Danang, we were here just after the Easter break and I have to say, it is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing holiday we have been too for a while. The three of us, slept so much, ate so much and relaxed so much that we didn't want to come back home! We had buffet breakfast every single morning at the resort, then when we came home, Dragon asked me where the buffet was! My dear child!
Where we stayed: Premier Village Resort Danang – the resort is beautiful and child friendly (as friendly as it can be!). The resorts all have 3 – 4 bedrooms, however, we only needed one so they closed the other 2 bedrooms, and it was beautiful. We had our own private plunge pool where we swam almost every day, there's a kitchen for us to cook (which we didn't of course!) and a kids area for Dragon just in case it rained. There was also a main pool which we frequently visit and the resort was right near the beach, you could pretty much walk to the beach but considering how much Dragon hates sand, we didn't venture out to the beach. The resort also had activities for kids, kite flying for one, and many more.
What we did: relaxed and swam in the pool every single day. We went to town to eat almost every day, and we did 2 trips to Hoian (which I will post separately!) Hoi an was just beautiful and next time we are in Danang, will sure to stay there!
What we ate: now the list is long! We had such amazing for that we didn't want to leave. The resort had great food and we ate at the resort a couple of times that week, but most of the time, we ventured out and even did a food tour! My goals was to have a banh mi every single day, have 7 banh mi's and believe it or not I did! I simply couldn't get enough of it!
First day at the resort we didn't do much, we ate by the pool – the food was pretty decent. 'The Mother couldn't go past their chicken burger with chips – chicken fillet with tomato, lettuce on a deliciously soft bun and served with chips.
Dragon wanted a burger, to be honest, I should have known she would have just eaten the chips!!!! which she did, I ended up eating her burger. Sadly though, the beef pattie was a little dry and disappointing.
I ordered the meatballs with baguette and Dragon preferred this to hers. The meatballs were succulent and the baguette, was excellent, believe it or not, better than any bread I have eaten in Hong Kong.
'The Mother' was still hungry and ordered a tuna salad. The tuna was lightly crumbed, the tuna itself was fresh and delicious.
That evening, we were ready to venture out for some local food! 'The Mother' was craving pho so Pho 75 – caught a taxi there, which costs more than the food itself! But so worth it.
They only served pho and it was phenomenal! Best I have eaten, the noodles were translucent, and the broth – it was much cleaner and clearer than the northern cuisine. No sauce required, the broth was just perfect, and the beef was just a wonderful complement. Pho cravings satisfied!
The next day, my quest for banh mi started! We started with Banh Mi Thit Nuong (banh mi with grilled pork), again we caught the taxi to town, and I found one called "Huong" on the corner of Le Loi and Le Thanh Ton. Apparently, this is quite popular with the school kids, as there are schools nearby.
We sat on one these small stools, it was perfect for Dragon and she absolutely loved it! Now, the banh mi itself, DELICIOUS! Filings of grilled pork, vietnamese mint, papaya pickle, bit of butter, pate and chili sauce (mine had no chili sauce as i shared it with Dragon). Seriously superb, nothing I have had before. The banh mi I am used too from Sydney was with different cold meats, but this grilled pork was just divine. I asked for an egg also, and boy it was just magnificent! The bread, yes, again, the bread, was just fantastic! I have truly been deprived of good fresh bread in Hong Kong.
This is the lady that makes the banh mi – she was uber friendly, even gave Dragon a free bread!
'The Mother' on the other hand, was on the hunt for the BEST vietnamese coffee, he had coffee at least twice a day, but I am still not quite sure which one he liked! A few hundred metres away from this banh mi stall, there is a coffee shop for the life of me I forgot the name. However, we ordered some Vietnamese coffee – served cold and with condensed milk.
I couldn't go past this taro milk tea, with taro pudding – surprisingly good!
The next banh mi place we tried was bnah mi thit nguoi (banh mi with jambon) and the main ingredients are jamon, cha and pate – no other herbs but long strips of chili, cucumber and spring onion. The stall we went too was called Ba Lan. We didn't eat at the stall as there were no seats and Dragon was getting a little restless so we took it home to eat.
WOW! This was definitely 'The Mother's' favourite, we bought four and he ate 3 in one sitting! ok, maybe 2 and 3/4. The bread was excellent again, and the filing was just superb. I was told that it is the BEST banh mi thit that there are already numerous fake banh mi Ba Lan – this is the original place! Definitely worth visiting.
The best banh mi that I ate was definitely at Hoian – which I will post later on. We went to a pretty decent restaurant on our last night in Danang which was recommended by a few people called Aspara Restaurant – mix of Thailand and Vietnamese cuisine. The menu was vast, it took us a while to peruse the menu, however, the best bit, there were performances which Dragon loved – she didn't want to eat and kept dancing. i have to admit though, it is a bit of a tourist place, but the food was definitely good!
We started with these fried salt and pepper tofu, the tofu was silky smooth and cut into bite sizes.
I ordered the fried chicken with rice for Dragon, the fried chicken was pretty decent, as good as the one you get in Sydney.
'The Mother' wanted some seafood – started with some pipis served in a clear, gingery brother, the broth was tasty and the pipis were a wonderful addition.
The scampi cooked with onions and garlic were definitely the highlight! So much flavour and the scampi itself was deliciously succulent.
Last but not least, the vegetables.
It was possibly our most expensive meal in Danang. It was good to try but I definitely still preferred the street food! We did one food tour, which will be in my next post, and also Hoian – such a beautiful place!
In the mean time, where can I get a decent banh mi here in Hong Kong?

North Island, New Zealand Part II
So Part I was all about Lake Taupo, and Napier. Now the second part is about driving back from Napier to Auckland and stopping at Rotatua, spending a few days in Auckland and a few days in Bays of Island.
After Napier, we drove all the way to Auckland, it was about a 6 hour drive but we did stop in Roturua – we had originally going to stay overnight here but 'The Mother' decided against it and went straight to Napier. We sent to Polynesian Spa which I loved, however, Dragon, not so much! The water was WAY too hot for her and she said that it smelt like 'poo poo' LOL. We even got a private pool (only 30 mins) and we stayed at the Lake Spa for a bit. I would definitely have loved a massage, but 'The Mother' was eager to stop by a park (I can't for the life remember the name) before Auckland. There were SO MUCH SPACE and GRASS!!!! LOVE!
Where we stayed: a 4 bedroom house (found on air bnb by 'The Mother's aunt) which was nice and spacious. Only problem was the walls were so thin, we could hear a pin drop!
What we did: nothing much, we had a wedding at Abbeville Estate – it was a beautiful place for a wedding and Dragon again wore her favourite and BEST outfit for the day!
What we ate – for breakfast we ate at home, and obviously a wonderful meal for the wedding and dim sum (yum cha) for the day after wedding. I did have a pretty good meal with one of my oldest and dearest friend in Auckland – Blue Breeze inn which serves a delicious Modern Chinese food.
Chef Che Barrington is the chef behind Blue Breeze Inn and in 2011, he opened MooChowChow, Auckland's first modern Thai restaurant. There were so many options on the menu. We started with the steamed bun of roasted pork belly and pickled cucumber (NZD10 each) – that crackle, it was sublime and the bun itself was soft and pillowy which was excellent.
We also couldn't go past the steamed bun of five-spiced tofu, kimchi, and coriander (NZD9 each) – I have to say, this was pretty good. I may have preferred this over the pork belly one and that says a lot!
The bang bang chili chicken with black vinegar, sesame-chilli dressing (NZD18) was 'bang bang'. The chili really gave it a nice kick! It was a little spicy for Dragon unfortunately but she definitely enjoyed my pork belly more.
The beef unfortunately wasn't as tender as I had hoped. It was a little on the tough side.
For dessert, we ordered a couple of things to share. Mango, tapioca and lemon sorbet was refreshingly light and was a great palate cleanser!
The taro dumplings were more on the heavier side but it's not something I have eaten before. It was good but I definitely prefer the mango, tapioca and so did Dragon!
Service was good and food was pretty good, especially the pork buns, shame about the beef though, as I was craving beef!
Before we left Auckland we had a quick lunch at Toru Café which is located in Ponsoby – I am really loving that area. It's a little like Paddington, if you live in Sydney.
'The Mother' couldn't go past the beef cheek, tomato, kasundi, carrot pie which was served with crinkle chips (NZD16.50) – oh how I fell in love with the crinkle chips! My my! It was crinkle potato chips, slightly fried, it was delicious. The pie itself wasn't too bad either.
I couldn't go past the spiced chicken, halloumi, cous cous, raisin, harissa, date (NZD22.50) – I love cous cous, and not to mention squeaky cheese! Unfortunately Dragon wasn't a huge fan of cous cous, nor the squeaky cheese, she did however, eat all my chicken.
Service was polite and friendly, it's a pretty cool little café, it was in the middle of a shopping arcade and was very relaxed. Food was good and everything on the menu sounded great! Those chips though – worth coming back for just a bowl of crinkle cut chips!
We were in Auckland for about 3 days, and then we drove up to Bays of Island. It was about a 2-3 hour drive, very scenic but lets be honest here, I spent most of it sleeping! Every opportunity I had, I was sleeping, I was SO TIRED and besides, cars and I – sleep! Who doesn't? Come on?
Where we stayed: Waterfront Suite Paihia – Herritage Boutique Collection, 100 Marsden Road, Paihia, Bay of Islands, Paihia, New Zealand. We got the 2 bedroom apartments – don't ask why but we definitely enjoyed the space! LOTS OF SPACE! And had a view of the ocean, which was beautiful!
What we did: if it was summer or if Dragon was a little older, we could have gone swimming with the dolphins, go kayaking etc. But alas, our little Dragon is still 2.5 years old. We hung around town, there was a lovely grass area, and a piano where Dragon could not stop playing! I believe she has musical blood in her, just like her mama!
What we ate:
We arrived early afternoon, and thought we would have an early dinner at Alongside which is situated over the water in the stunning bay of islands. It's a very laid back place, very casual, we sat there drinking and eating whilst watching the sunset. It was a tad cold but it was still quite pleasant.
I couldn't go past the braised beef croquette – 4 generous size croquette with lots and lots of beef. The outside was slightly burnt but the inside, my my my… it was absolutely amazing!
'The Mother' couldn't go past the soft shell fish tacos with our local catch, apple and mango salsa. He demolished this before I could even take a photo of it.
We also ordered a side of chunky street fries with rosemary salt and smoked aioli – they were demolished by the three of us! So good!
They even had a kids menu for Dragon. Not pictured but for NZD10 – a bowl of Bolognese pasta and juice. She loves pasta so had no problems demolishing it.
It is really a nice way to spend the afternoon / evening. I can envisage many Sunday lazy afternoons sitting here, drinking and catching up with friends. It was really a very nice and pleasant area.
The next morning we had breakfast at Upper Deck, which was next door to our apartment. I ordered the big breakfast to share with Dragon – 2 fried eggs, bacon, sausage, mushroom and hash browns which was served with some brown toast. Pretty large serving, Dragon isn't really a toast kind of girl for breakfast, she usually eats rice and leftovers for dinner. She loved the sausage and mushroom though, the toast she thought was a little hard.
'The Mother' had something more simple – he was a little over big breakfasts (HOW COULD HE?) and opt for muesli, yogurt and fruit which was surprisingly good! Fresh fruit and the yogurt was surprisingly good!
We had dinner at one of the local pizza place near our apartments. The pizza wasn't too bad, very big but it was for four of us. We ordered two of it and managed to finish it all!
Overall, it was a great trip I love New Zealand, it's such a beautiful place. However, the driving – the driving with Dragon almost killed me! Never again I think. We did have a good time, and would be keen to go to the South Island at some point.

North Island, New Zealand Part 1
Wishing you all a Happy New Year and to lots more eating in 2015 – I certainly know there will be a lot of it happening! It's been a while since I last blogged, we had a nice 2 weeks break, just hanging in Hong Kong. New resolution this year is to blog a little more, not nearly as much as pre-Dragon but definitely a little more than post-Dragon! Below is a family photo from our trip in New Zealand which I absolutely love!
It seems like forever since our last trip to New Zealand (have yet to blog about Kaoshiung, and not to mention some eateries from Helsinki and Prague!), we were there just over a week. I have previously been to New Zealand, South Island to be exact – Christchurch, Queenstown, Milford Sound and had a wonderful time. We did the awesome foursome which includes bungee jumping, white water rafting, canoeing and shotover jet. This time though, we were in the North Island, for a wedding in Auckland and thought we would check out the nearby towns. We stayed a couple of nights in Taupo, then Napier (my favourite!), Auckland and then Bay of Islands.
We arrived quite late to Auckland and 'The Mother' drove straight away to Lake Taupo, so by the time we got there it was quiet late, bed time for Dragon and we didn't do much. We had something quick to eat on the way which I can't even remember, either Mc Donalds or KFC!
Where we stayed: Hilton Lake Taupo, 80 – 100 Napier Road Taupo and we got the suite. It was very spacious, separate bedroom and living room. It was a shame we were there in Winter, would have loved to have gone swimming. The water was warm, but outside was freezing!
What we did: We had lunch and dinner at Lake Taupo town. We took photos in front of the lake and it was beautiful. Even our little photographer couldn't wait to take photos of us and order us around!
What we ate: We had breakfast twice at Dixie Browns, which was located on the shores of Lake Taupo. It has one of the largest fresh water lakes in the South Hemisphere and there was also the view of Mt Ruapehue, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe.
'The Mother' couldn't go past the hot chocolate
With a large dollop of chocolate which I couldn't help but eat on its own! YUM!
I opt for the kiwi farmhouse breakfast (NZ19.90) – fried eggs, Kransky sausage, mushroom, hash browns, smokey bacon and grilled tomato served with hot buttered toast. It was a pretty large serving (bacon and tomato not on the same plate) and pretty decent.
'The Mother' opt for a sweeter breakfast, truck stop pancake stack (NZD15.90) – blueberry pancake stack drizzled with maple syrup and cream. Oh my, it was good but sickly sweet in my opinion especially with hot chocolate, but 'The Mother' seemed to have enjoyed it.
Service at the Dixie Browns was excellent and food was good, that we came again the next day to try out their lunch menu!
After brunch, we took a quick drive to Chateau Tongariro Hotel – it's a BEAUTIFUL Chateau, 'The Mother' originally wanted to stay here, but I was against moving every single night as it wouldn't be too relaxing.
We went inside and had some afternoon tea, scones and tea and some bread for Dragon at the Ruapehu Lounge Bar.
The scones were beautiful, I have missed good scones, I have tasted some horrid ones here in Hong Kong, guess I can just make my own?
And we got some bread with dips for Dragon
We went for a drive to the top of the mountain, and the views were spectacular. I love how there were still snow which was amazing and yes it was STILL VERY COLD!!!!
For dinner, we ate at Taupo town centre, Plateau Restaurant & Bar. There was even a kids menu which was awesome – drink, food and dessert for NZD15! Dragon opt for the meatballs, tomato sauce with steamed rice (weird combo I thought but she seemed to have enjoyed it). And she of course enjoyed her ice cream sundae which we took some also.
I was a tad greedy and ordered the 2 things – the crispy fried chicken with chipotle mayo (NZD12.50) – it was a little bigger than I anticipated. I was expecting drumsticks and wings, however, it was chicken breast fried, which was a little disappointing.
The steamed pork bun, braised pork, coriander, hoisin sauce (NZD9.0) was a little dry, I liked the steamed bun but the braised pork was a little on the dry side which was a shame.
'The Mother' opt for the fresh market fish with some saffron pasta which he utterly enjoyed.
The next morning, we had brunch at Replete Café and store which was also located in the town centre. It was a relatively busy when we rocked up, you pay at the counter and food will be delivered to your table. I absolutely LOVED the banana smoothie – very creamy and had a pretty strong banana taste which I liked.
For breakfast, I opt for the field mushrooms on megagrain farmhouse toast with sausage (NZD16.00). Dragon ate most of the sausage, as I was happy to just have the mushroom.
'The Mother' opt for the complete Replete breakfast (NZD17.50) – eggs, chargrilled bacon, roasted field mushrooms, grilled focaccia and tomato relish. I stole some bacon but he pretty much demolished this on his own.
We left for Napier just after lunch and arrived at about 4.30pm. Now have I mentioned how much I LOVE NAPIER? From memory it was about 4 hours drive from Lake Taupo. I LOVED LOVED LOVED Napier. It's located in Hawke's Bay on the eastern coast of the North Island.
Where we stayed: Art Deco Masonic Hotel, 2 Tennyson Street, Napier South, Napier 4110, New Zealand. It was a very 'cool' and funky hotel. There's a pub downstairs and we got the pacific suite, again separate living and bedroom and overlooking the ocean – it was indeed beautiful!
What we did: We arrived early afternoon, and we walked along the Marine Parade, again taking photos. This time jump shots which Dragon absolutely loved!
We also went to the National Aquarium, it's not a big aquarium but worth visiting, especially since it was raining. Dragon found this ride and didn't want to leave! We walked around town, I wanted to do a bit of shopping but ran out of time. Definitely worth staying at Napier a bit longer. We also went for a drive, about 1 hour drive to a mountain, it was so windy that Dragon couldn't stop laughing- she loves the cold weather! There were some jump shots also!
We had breakfast at the hotel both days as it came with the package, nothing too fancy but it was pretty good – eggs, bacon, toast, pastries, cereals and fruits.
For dinner on the first night, we ate at Emporium eatery and bar which is located at the Art Deco Masonic Hotel.
We shared a couple of things, including a pizza – roast chicken, chorizo, brie, pesto mayo and rocket which Dragon thoroughly enjoyed. The crust was thin and there was a generous serving of chicken and chorizo.
I loved the fried polenta, cauliflower puree, smoked tomato salsa and parmesan (NZD15) – 'The Mother' wasn't a huge fan of polenta, which meant more for me!
The pork, fennel and lemon meatballs, hummus and tzatziki (NZD16) was good but I still preferred the polenta.
We were too full for dessert, and it was almost Dragon's nap time, so we waddled upstairs and had a wonderful sleep!
The next day, we had lunch at Salt, which is also known as the 'round house', a Napier icon. It has a lovely view of the inner harbor of Ahuriri and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For lunch we had the lunch menu which was a great deal! I think for NZD20, you get soup or salad or garlic bread and a choice of main.
We had the cream of mushroom, which was deliciously creamy
The garlic focaccia which Dragon demolished!
'The Mother' opt for the steak, which was served with herb butter and chips! The steak wasn't too bad for the price, and cooked just the way he likes it.
I opt for the chicken and mango filo pastry with a side of salad. It was ok, the filing was quite rich, it was a little too creamy for my liking.
Service was good, and pretty decent value. Pity my chicken filo pastry was a little on the rich side. There were a lot of seafood on the menu if you preferred (which is also their specialty!).
For dinner, we made reservations with Mister D and I have to say, it is one of the best food I have eaten in a while! Mister D is 'a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, we believe in fresh, local produce delivered with great service but no fuss'.
We started with some fresh bread which was hot and fresh – yum!
The waiter suggested the potato gnocchi, cheese sauce and coffee (but without the coffee) (NZD13) for Dragon. It was a very cool presentation, gnocchi served on a stick, which creamy and cheesy sauce. Unfortunately Dragon didn't take a liking to the gnocchi or cheese sauce – I should have known. She is not a big fan of potatoes and she hates cheesy food, cheese on its own she loves, but cheese on food, not so much!
I couldn't go past the bone marrow ravioli, beef juices, salsa verde (NZD24.50) – OMG! THE BEST! Even Dragon ate half of it (maybe more). The ravioli with bone marrow was just superb, tender and delivious and the beef juice – my my. I could have definitely eaten a second serving on my own!
'The Mother' opt for fist in a bag, new potatoes, asparagus, Telegraph Hill smoked olives parlsey butter (NZD29.50) – it was quite a novelty. The fish was incredibly tender and 'The Mother' definitely enjoyed it.
For dessert, we shared the ginger beer crème caramel, poached rhubarb and gingerbread (NZD15). Dragon ate most of the gingerbread on her own, she wasn't a huge fan of the crème caramel but it's probably due to texture. 'The Mother' and I fought for every single last piece – it was delicious!
I really enjoyed my meal at Mister D and wished we came back the next day for breakfast! I heard the donut was too die for and always runs out!!!! Definitely worth going if you are in Napier, service and food was excellent!
Next… Auckland and Bays of Islands

Singapore Part II – Tiong Shian Porridge and an interesting soup
Wow, its certainly been a very long time since I last blogged! Things in the household has been quite busy actually. Work, Dragon, work, Dragon and getting sick, hence, there hasn't been any time for much else. Thought I would go back to the Singapore post, My bro, F was craving some good congee. He took us to Tiong Shian Porridge which specialises in serving porridge / congee and clay pot frogs leg! I didn't even know this place existed until he brought us there. Apparently one of his friends who lives in Singapore brought him here and he has been coming back ever since!
The specialty is congee and we ordered 3 large bowls of congee – 2 fish and 1 chicken. To be honest, I am no expert in congee and I am not a huge fan as I only eat it when I am sick. I have to admit though, Dragon really enjoyed the chicken congee, it had the right consistency, not too watery like most places I have eaten.
We noticed that a lot of people was ordering the braised bean curd. It was definitely tasty, silky smooth and soft. The sauce was a very wonderful complement to the dish and especially when eaten with congee, it even got the approval from Dragon! We also ordered a side of chicken wings, however, it wasn't as tasty as from Chomp Chomp.
The dried chili frog leg clay pot was delicious. The sauce had the right amount of sweetness and spiciness and it was surprisingly meaty! We also ordered the clay pot fish and this was everyone's favourite. The fish had a slightly crisp to it and was extremely tender.
I have to admit, I really enjoyed the congee, even Dragon couldn't say no!
On a separate day, my dad was craving for some turtle soup. Now I was a little skeptical about turtle soup but I am always up for trying new things. Dad was craving it and F have heard about this place in Singapore called – Ser Seng Herbs Turtle Restaurant. I know what you might think, these turtles are endangered species, but I asked and these turtles are farmed just like cows and chickens.
The menu is quite limited, just steam turtle or mix turtle internal organ soup and steam black chicken soup. I ordered the smallest portion of the turtle soup and steam black chicken soup. I have to say, I wasn't a huge fan, not something I would order again. The soup was quite herby and the meat, well I wasn't sure what I was eating. I do enjoy the innards of chicken and what not, but this was a little weird for my liking.
The rest of the crew definitely enjoyed it, and the steam black chicken soup – well, the soup was tasty but black chicken, I ate it after I gave birth to Dragon and till today, I still can not eat it!
One can not go to Singapore without eating an ice cream sandwich – I can't remember if it's the same dude, but he is on Orchard Road and he has been there for as long as I can remember. We had the durian one, and my my… BEST!

Singapore Eats Part I – Tian Tian Chicken Rice and Chomp Chomp Food Centre
Sorry for the lack of post, it has been a crazy few weeks and I had the pleasure of going to Singapore for a few days for a wedding and see the family again which was really really nice! Dragon got to see her cousin again, and my goodness, I love how affectionate she is, she would kiss her niece every time she saw her! Sometimes too much that C would be scared of her, look at the expression on her face below – poor C!
I haven't been to Singapore for a very long time now, 6 – 7 years ago, 'The Mother' and I stayed in Singapore for 3 months to find a job, we both didn't love Singapore and so decided to go back home to Sydney which was one of the best decisions we made! We had fun though in Singapore but I don't think it is a city for us.
We were in Singapore for about 5 days, managed to stay at Marina Bay Sands for a couple of nights which was uber nice. We didn't leave Marina Bay at all, even ate at the food court and Din Tai Fung. When the family came, we moved into a serviced apartment and that's when all the eating started. My dad LOVES Hainan Chicken rice, so a visit to Tian Tian was a must!
Tian Tian is located in Maxwell Road Hawker stall and they even have a restaurant at Joo Chiat Road. The hawker stall was packed when we arrived at 12.30, it took us a good 20 minutes to find a table, and even then it was shared but well worth it! Tian Tian Chicken Rice is one of the most famous chicken rice stalls and surprisingly my parents who come to Singapore frequently has not been. The queue for the chicken rice was horrendously long. We ordered a whole chicken and it was cooked to perfection – tender and succulent, even Dragon wanted more.
The chicken rice was fragrant – it was indeed wonderful and satisfied my cravings. We also ordered a side of vegetables which was good but nothing special, the chicken is definitely my favourite!
Can you believe that I have never been to Chomp Chomp food centre which is located at Kensington Park Road, Serangoon Gardens (nearest MRT station is Serangoon and it is a 10-15 minutes bus ride to reach the food centre). We took a cab and it was only SGD12 if it's not peak hour. There were so many stalls, we didn't know where to start!
I ordered some chicken wings from Daily Fresh BBQ Chicken Wings. Each piece of chicken wings is about SGD1.2 and cooked to order. The chicken wings itself was tender and succulent, but felt that the aroma was not strong enough.
I couldn't go past the pork and chicken satay, minimum order of 10 and my goodness, they definitely satisfied the cravings. The meat was flavourful and tender and definitely one of the best satay I've had in a while.
F wanted the bbq stingray, I loved the banana leaf's fragrance, the skin was crispy and the meat itself was tender and succulent. Dad however thought it tasted like sardines and not sure if he liked it that much.
Oyster omelette is a definite must and a favourite amongst the diners. Eggs, oysters, what's there not to like?
And also vegetables – the chili really gave it a nice kick!
We enjoyed the meal at Chomp Chomp Food Centre, not sure if we would trek all the way there again though? Especially if Dad thought the stingray tasted like sardines! HAHAHA! They did go to Newtown Circus a few days later and thought the food was better there, I know it is more tourist-y but it was definitely easier to get too.
There's definitely good food in Singapore and we certainly ate well! I would definitely go back to Tian Tian for that awesome chicken rice.

John Smith Cafe, Waterloo, Sydney
I've heard so many good things about John Smith, which is located in Waterloo in Sydney and was on my list of cafe's to visit on my recent trip. My list pretty much consisted of cafes and good breakfast. The place however, is tiny, so get there early or in our case, we went during the weekdays just after the lunch time rush and didn't have to wait for a booth at all.
The menu vast which we love and who doesn't love all day breakfast? We started with cold pressed juices – apple, pineapple and it was refreshingly good. Dragon drank most of it, that we had to order another glass for me!
My brother really enjoyed their coffee – one of the best he said.
My sis-in-law, O and I couldn't go past the eggs Benedict with pulled pork – my goodness, it had my name all over it! The pulled pork was incredibly tender, even Dragon wanted more. The béarnaise sauce was excellent, wasn't too rich and sickening and perfect with oozy egg! It was the perfect breakfast!
I was pleasantly surprised when my brother, F, ordered the chicken salad with pesto. I thought he would have ordered a burger but he wanted something healthy and indeed it was surprisingly tasty. Everything was so fresh and we love pesto, so its as a win win for both of us.
We thought we would share a cronut, and oh my my, it was sinfully good! I have heard wonderful things about Brewtown Newton's cronut and this definitely did not disappoint!
The staff was super duper friendly, and food excellent. We did have to wait a bit for our benedict as they ran out of béarnaise sauce but it was definitely worth the wait. I can't wait to visit John Smith Cafe when I am back next!

Raya House, Phuket
As you may have recalled, 'The Mother', Dragon and I went for a quick getaway to meet the extended family in Phuket. It was one of those holidays where we didn't leave the resort and just ate around there. Didn't see much to be honest, just hung by the pool, slept, ate and took Dragon to the mall where she spent a few hours in this kids area – will post about that soon. I have been to Phuket many times now and have stayed at different places, however, this time, we stayed at the most tourist-y place – Patong, which was ok, I prefer to stay in a much quieter area and the resort we stayed was definitely NOT 5 star, it was a little old, room was ok and pretty noisy at night as there are markets near the mall.
Anyhow, it was an ok holiday, unfortunately we didn't eat as well as I had hoped, however, a good friend recommended that I go to Raya House and I am SO glad that we did! It was potentially the BEST meal we had in Phuket! HA! Raya House can be found in Phuket Town, a century year old house which has been converted into a restaurant – there's a lot of character – rusting ceiling fans, vintage posters, very old photographs (which are cool) and the vibe is very down to earth and 'rustic'.
The menu is quite extensive, however, it is famous for its crabmeat coconut curry which is a MUST order and potentially one of the nicest curry we have had. Real chunks of crab meat pieces which are plump and generous, the curry is served with coconut milk and rice vermicelli. This was a hit amongst the diners.
The salt and pepper squid was excellent, the batter was thin and not oily and the squid was tender.
My favourite dish would have to be the pork belly – extremely tender, extremely succulent – it was phenomenal. It had the right amount of fat to meat ratio and one of the best dish I've had in Phuket! Even Dragon had a couple of pieces!
The most disappointing would have to be the fried chicken which was topped with a mountain of fried garlic. The chicken pieces were small, and tough. I had meant to order this dish for Dragon but the chicken meat wGas so tough, Dragon couldn't really chew it.
The vegetables were also fantastic – a little on the spicy side for Dragon though.
There weren't a lot of options for dessert, however, we did manage to share grass jelly with longan topped with palm sugar – oh my my.. it was refreshing light and delicious. I probably should have ordered a serving for myself!
Meal was excellent, shame about the chicken, but the pork belly and the crab curry was definitely a hit. Definitely worth visiting when you are in Phuket!

Cuomo Better Choice Than Stephanopoulos for GMA
Chris Cuomo on GMA
According to several news sources, it appears ABC will be making a decision in the near future regarding who will be the new anchor to replace Diane Sawyer at ABC's Good Morning America. Some have said George Stephanopoulos is the front runner for the job. When I heard that, my first reaction was someone at the top at ABC must not understand branding and reputation!
Morning television is not all about hard news and politics. It is about a combination of soft news like fashion, cooking, home life and gossip like celebrity news, who is dating whom, as well as hard news like politics, business news and legal news.… Read the rest

When I was seven years old I went to a baseball game with my family. I was living in Fremont, Ca and this was not an uncommon occurrence. I ran to the front of the stands as batting practice was ending with my baseball cards in hand. I was in luck. This day, Mark McGwire was signing autographs. I was small and cute, so I was able to wriggle my way to the front of the crowd. "Mr. McGwire! Mr. McGwire!" I yelled in opposition to all those around me who were yelling out "Mark!". He smiled and pointed at me.

With President Obama's repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy in December and headlines about the prevalence of bullying LGBT youth, workplaces across the country have varying levels of acceptance of its LGBT staff and clientele.
But research has shown that LGBT employees who are "out" are more productive and satisfied with their job, and more likely to remain in their positions than those who hide their sexual orientation, said Sylvia Ann Hewlett, director of the Center for Work-Life Policy.
Being "in the closet," can lead to "isolation and disengagement," Hewlett said at the summit.
Selisse Berry, founding executive director of the nonprofit Out and Equal Workplace Advocates in San Francisco, said she founded the organization because people are their most productive and satisfied at work when they can bring all of themselves to the job.
"Discrimination is bad for business and that's why so many of the Fortune 500 companies have non-discrimination policies that cover sexual orientation [87 percent] and gender identity [43 percent]. And those numbers keep steadily rising," Berry said.
When he had the idea for the summit 10 years ago, he wasn't quite sure it would work at the time. Homosexuality was an especially politically charged topic in 2000, in part, because Vermont had recently become the first state to introduce civil unions.
Now, a number of senior Wall Street executives are "out" and several of the major banks have staff that target LGBT clientele.
Bill Moran, a vice president at Merrill Lynch Private Wealth Management, said the LGBT has relatively more "unique needs" than other affinity groups, such as ethnic or other demographic groups, because of their the complicated and varying legal status of LGBT couples and families.
Sears, along with retired Gen. Colin Powell, also started the first Veteran's Network on Wall Street while at Credit Suisse.
Berry said same-gender married couples are denied tax breaks that heterosexual couples enjoy, and are taxed on the benefits their domestic partners receive. Out and Equal co-sponsored with Google this week a seminar for human resource professionals to close the income gap and bring equity in pay.
Moran is also director of Merrill Lynch's nationwide LGBT Financial Services team, the first such team on Wall Street that Sears established several years ago. Several other banks now have LGBT networks, including Deutsche Bank's "Rainbow Group."
Moran helps train other wealth advisers, many who are straight, to better serve his LGBT clientele.
"We have two straight wealth advisors in Dallas who own the market," Moran said at the summit.
But there is also a danger in stereotyping or clumping together any affinity group.
Brian McNaught, called "the godfather of gay sensitivity training" by the New York Times, said he hated the abbreviation, LGBT.
McNaught moderated a panel at the summit called, "Wall Street as a Workplace of Choice: Culture."
He said he instead prefers using the non-abbreviated words: lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered.
"You should never use an acronym with people," said McNaught, president of Brian McNaught & Associates.
The speakers at the conference were not just from the LGBT community. A large number were "several senior straight allies" who are trying to recruit and support the LGBT community at their workplaces, according to Sears.

NFL Jaguars, Broncos Have Interesting Point Spread
By editor
Originally published on Tue October 8, 2013 6:26 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. If you bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend, your team could be crushed and you could still win. The Jaguars are 0-5. They play Peyton Manning's undefeated Denver Broncos. The Broncos are 28-point favorites, the biggest point spread in NFL history. The Jaguars could lose by 27, you'd still win your bet. But gamble with care. In their big win against Dallas last weekend, Denver did not cover the spread. It is MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Trier par conformation:
The ink wash (98% cotton 2%spandex) stretches at least half a size, mostly on the waistband.If your legs are thin, I would suggest you try a size smaller than your usal size in J brand. I have the 910 in black( with orange stiching) in 24 and the ink in 23 and they fit the same.
I got these in ink in 2009. I am normally a 27 but they only had them in 28 so I got them anyways. They are a bit loose and after a few wears get a bit too stretched out but overall I like them. I am 1.60 meters (5'3") with longer legs and they scrunch up at the ankle but I like the look. These still look new after more than 2 years.
I'm not too happy with this pair of J Brand jeans. I ordered my usual size 28 and they fit perfectly in the waist & hips but are so incredibly tight from the knee down. I can't bend my knees! Imagine my disappointment :( Returned these.
I was looking forward to receiving this as my friend and other reviews have recommended this as such a wonderful fitting and looking pair of jeans. I own another pair of J Brand 10" jeans in a size 25 and they fit true to size. I ordered the Ink in 25" and to my dismay, there are much too big for my tiny frame! I had no idea that these jeans are also available in a size 23 and 24 (I thought 24 was the smallest). Regarding comfort, the denim is much tougher than my other pair of J Brand jeans and my other jeans. I didn't feel that they were that comfortable when I had tried them on. I will be returning this for a full refund!

Reductions in world military expenditure: who stands to gain?: An article from: Finance & Development
This digital document is an article from Finance & Development, published by International Monetary Fund on March 1, 1994. The length of the article is 2396 words. The page length shown above is based on a typical 300-word page. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Digital Locker immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.From the supplier: Worldwide military spending relative to output has fallen almost 20% since 1985 in almost all regions of the world. Without taking into account the impact of such cuts on national security, an IMF study estimates that a further drop of this magnitude in the 1990s would offer significant benefits for private investment and private consumption, particularly in developing countries. This IMF study, which examines the possibility of continued declines in military expenditure in the 1990s, was conducted using the IMF's MULTIMOD world macroeconomic model. Its results indicate that in such a scenario, military spending cuts in industrial nations would result in slower growth in the short-term and higher investment and growth in the long-term. In developing countries, the effect of military spending cuts would be similar except that long-term gains in consumption and investment growth would be significantly higher than in the industrial world.Citation DetailsTitle: Reductions in world military expenditure: who stands to gain?Author: Vivek B.

Lake Greenwood SC Land for Sale
If you are looking for land in Greenwood SC, you will find a large variety of choices. Greenwood has something for nearly every need. From quarter-acre lakefront lots and golf course lots, to 100+ acre parcels. Whether it's tracts of land perfect for industrial development or tracts of land for the development of the next lakefront community, you can find it on Lake Greenwood, in the city, or in the surrounding area.
There are several new residential communities that still have homesites available on Lake Greenwood. The majority of these communities have no restrictions or time frame to start construction, which allows you to secure the perfect lot, do improvements along the way, and start construction when the time is right for you.
When considering which Lake Greenwood waterfront lot is the best option, consider the following 4 questions:
Is this lot "dockable"?
This is THE BIGGEST question by far in the mind of some buyers and an even more important one for buyers who don't know to ask it! Along the shores of Lake Greenwood there have been areas designated as Critical Habitat areas. These are areas that have been determined to be crucial to the survival of a particular species and essential for its conservation. In Critical Habitat areas the shoreline cannot be disturbed by the building of a dock, placement of a seawall, etc. NON-dockable lots are much less expensive, provide amazing views and are generally great homesites; as long as having a private dock or seawall isn't a high priority. So it's possible that when you see a price on a lot that seems "too good to be true" there's a reason for it. Call me and ask…"Is this lot dockable?"
Will a seawall be necessary or preferred for overall appearance of my property? What is the cost?
Some lots have more of a slope at the water's edge than others. Some people just prefer the look of a seawall even though the lot doesn't necessarily need one to protect its shoreline from erosion, etc. The cost of the seawall will vary depending on type, style, depth, and of course the amount of water frontage present on your property. If you would like names and contact information of some of the most reputable seawall builders in the area don't hesitate to contact me. If you have a Lake Greenwood lot in mind and would like me to have someone give a quote — I can do that too! It's just part of the service I provide to my clients.
What type of waste disposal is available for this lot?
Many lakefront communities have public sewer systems in place due to their close proximity to Greenwood. However, some communities that feature larger lots and are not located close to Greenwood utilize personal septic systems and private wells. A 3rd option for some lots are the installation of designed remote septic systems. Share your preference if you have one and this can save us valuable time and help guide us closer to the perfect homesite for you.
What amenities are available?
Community amenities vary from place to place. Some may include lake access, golf, tennis, swimming, on-site dining, bocci ball, social clubs, and even equestrian facilities.
If you happen to be an RV'er and looking for somewhere off the beaten to path to park for a weekend or even a lifetime…we have that too! You can choose from the Lake Greenwood State Park & Recreation Center, to privately owned and operated mom-n-pop type campgrounds.
If you are looking for Lake Greenwood land for sale where an RV is ok, you might want to check into our lakefront RV homesite pads that can be purchased. Did I mention that the Greenwood area has something for everyone yet?
Share your preferences and needs with me, and this information along with consideration for the questions above will greatly help us in our search for your perfect waterfront property on Lake Greenwood.

By their very nature, event tents cannot possibly provide all the comforts of home. However, a judicious deployment of power generators, heaters and fans will make your tent a thoroughly enjoyable setting for a wedding reception, anniversary party, auction or any soiree you envision.
Our Brookfield, Madison and Fox Cities party rental stores offer 6000 watt and 7500 watt portable generators. These are gasoline-fueled generators which run for about 7 hours on one tank of gas. One of these is usually sufficient to power the lights and appliances for most tents. If you are planning to add a couple of inflatable bounce houses, you'll need a dedicated generator to run the air compressor for them.
If your event will take place during colder months, a tent heater (or two) will keep frostbite from setting in. Seriously, no one wants to attend a wedding reception which becomes the Donner Party. Besides 80,000 and 170,000 BTU tent heaters, we also have a 40,000 BTU patio heater. (Incidentally, "BTU" does not stand for "Better Turn it Up!" It's actually an acronym for British Thermal Unit.)
For warm weather events, maintaining air flow through the tent is essential. Our pedestal fans have been proven far superior to native Polynesian women waving large palm fronds, though perhaps not quite as attractive. If you need help determining how many fans, heaters and generators for your tent, as we suspect you will, we are happy to assist.

Just wanted to let anyone interested in LM's trail conditions know...
Rode today for the first time after a lot of hiking the last few weekends. It's pretty dry and totally ride-able now. A few puddles here and there, but for the most part; very dry even though there are still some small patches of snow left. Rocky Gap still had about 3' of snow in the final rock section.
Enjoy, the riding was awesome today.
