Skrillex's Foray Into Reggae
If there is one EDM producer that everyone into the scene has an eye on, it's Skrillex. Love him or hate him, it's impossible to ignore dubstep's golden boy: not only does he create music loved by millions after transitioning from the screamo of From First to Last, but he has done a lot to propel dance music into the mainstream, remixing huge stars like Lady GaGa and even dating Britpop songstress Ellie Goulding. Pioneering a new sound, Skrillex isn't the best or most original dubstep or electro, but his influence is undeniable.
Skrillex's most recent release is undoubtedly something we haven't heard before, however. Working with the son of the wailer himself, Skrillex signs on Damian Marley to deliver reggae rhymes over stuttering dubstep beats. The result is interesting: reggae is not something that is ever found paired with EDM, so the novelty value is here–but it seems unlikely that it'll be here to stay. Despite the dubious quality of Make It Bun Dem, it's certainly a unique sound. Dubstep devotees will take to the song, but as for the rest of us, it's probably best to give Skrillex a wide berth.

My wife and I plan to travel Laos next week.
This is the part of our plan.
When traveling, we want to visit Phongsali from UdomXai via Muang La or Pak Nam Noi by bus.
In Muang La or Pak Nam Noi we will stop and rest.
And at night we want to take the bus which we know would start from Lunag Prabang at 5:00 pm.
Does this bus stop in Muang La or Pak Nam Noi?
is it possible to take this bus at night?
If there is anyone who knows it, please inform me!!
Thank you for watching my question^^

Hi namhoonkim,
Welcome to Travelfish!
I'm not sure where Pak Nam Noi is -- so I can't help on that, but I'm pretty sure (though not 100% positive) that the bus will pass via Muang La. You shouldn't have any problem jumping on the bus, though you may not get a seat -- be prepared to sit in the aisle on little plastic stools -- if you're lucky.
By the way, Muang La is a lovely little hideaway.

Thank you very much for your reply!!
Pak Nam Noi is the junction for Muang Khua, Udom Xai and Phongsali
even if I do not raise the road numbers.
What do you think about Boun Tai?
Does it have the value to visit?

Guess this reply is too late, but maybe it can help other travellers...
Stopped by Pak Nam Noi twice recently, on my way from Udomxai to Phongsali, & from Muang Khua to Udomxai. But it was daytime.
The morning bus I took from Udomxai to Phongsali was crowded even by Lao standards. All plastic stools & sacks of rice (used as seats) in the aisle were occupied, & two people stood on the steps next to the door. Along the way some locals tried to get on the bus, but the driver refused to stop for them, as it was impossible for anyone to get on even if they wanted to stand.
While in Pak Mong (junction for Luang Prabang, Udomxai & Nong Khiaw), I saw the Luang Prabang-Phongsali night bus stop by at 8+PM at night. It is a much bigger bus (approx 40-seater?) than the Udomxai-Phongsali bus (approx 20-seater?), so better chances of hopping onto this one. But you might have to wait at the Pak Nam Noi bus station in the wee hours of the morning, as the night bus will reach maybe sometime after midnight?
Muang La is beautiful =) But the Pak Nam Noi-Phongsali road is very dusty even with all bus windows shut, like the unpaved sections of the Huay Xai-Luang Namtha road. There are many Akha villages between Pak Nam Noi, Boun Tai, Boun Neua & Phongsali, but did not stop by any of them, so can't tell you much.

2012 Lacrosse NCAA Championship
Syracuse 14, Florida 13 - 2OT
NCAA Semfinals May 25, 2012
Florida Head Coach Amada OLeary
Congratulations to Syracuse. It was a great game and a game of runs. They scored when it counted and had a fantastic come back. We knew they wouldnt give up and they competed hard. Im proud of my team and proud of our season as this is just the third year of the program.
On calling a stick check in previous meeting against Syracuse
No I dont remember it, it was a really long time ago.
On a game of runs
They were driving hard to goal. We werent organized nor did we slide or help on the defensive breakdowns. We needed to come up with important draw controls.
On Mikey Meaghers play in goal
She literally kept us in the game after a few doorstep saves. She made a huge save for us from her knees as well. Mikey played a tremendous game, and was a shining star over 60 minutes.
On the Process regarding stick checks
Officials can call stick checks whenever they want, same as coaches. I agree with Syracuse not much you can do about it.
Florida Midfielder Brittany Dashiell
On Stick Check Play
A smart play by Syracuse, we couldnt do anything about it just play and get next grounder
Florida Goalie Mikey Meagher
On coming to Florida and making the NCAA Final Four .
Getting here means everything. I knew we were going places when I stepped onto campus in Gainesville. Its terrible that we lost, but we are definitely going places.
Florida Midfielder Shannon Gilroy
On Syracuses coverage
In the first half they werent pressuring, but in the second half they heavily pressured us. We had to play with each other as a team.
On coming back to Long Island
Its been an awesome experience to have a crowd cheering you on. Its a comforting experience.
Syracuse Head Coach Gary Gait
Opening Statement
First off, you have to give credit to the Florida Gators. They came out focused, their goalie was outstanding, she put us back on our heels, and really made our offense really second guess their shooting and defensively we struggled against their dodge from the top. We did well on everything else but we werent scoring on the offensive end and giving up some easy opportunities on the defensive end. At halftime, the players came together and they didnt give up. We talked about believing and we did it last week so we believed we could do it again. With a little bit of luck, drive and heart we were able to come out on top. It is an amazing feeling to come out on top. This kind of heart never gives up. Im very proud of them.
Ive been involved in a lot of champs some times it takes divine intervention, luck to win. Alyssa Murray makes a big call and that gave us some life. We fought to the very end to do whatever it took. Sometimes it takes a lucky bounce and we kept getting them. Sarah Holden buried that lost shot Im proud of her for not giving up and believing she could get it done and she did.
This [win] is one of the all-time greats and brings me back to the glory days back at Syracuse. This one is just incredible what this group has been able to do, especially these past two games. They can enjoy this for the next two minutes, then on to the next one.
We were down 3 w/ 3 min. We did this last week. Its always nice when you have a reference point to prove your point. They played from behind last week and it gave them the confidence to come back this week. We were doing everything we could do to come back.
We made some adjustments on Gilroy in the second have and made sure she didnt win the draws. We were concerned about them off the draw. Kayla did her job off the draw.
Florida called a stick check on us, the stick was legal and we won the game. The good thing was our sticks were legal and that was a crucial error on their part.
Syracuse Attacker Alyssa Murray
On lack of scoring
I was just tying to let the game come to me If I wait for my opportunity, it will come. And I dont really care if I score in every game, as long as we win.
Syracuse Attacker Michelle Tumolo
I ran over to the ref a little crazed for the stick check. She checked it and it was illegal .Teams have done it to us. If its the winning goal, if theres anything you can do to bring it back. We were fighting for our life and it was something you have to do.
Its been our motto all year, we look each other in the eye and we dont give up. They could tell I was upset I didnt score that last goal but they said to me we are not going to lose this game.. No one was negative they kept me sane. Thats why we were so successful and pull out these wins...I couldnt ask for a better team.
Syracuse Attacker Kailah Kempney
We all have our role on the field. We have a lot of communication on the field so were all on the same page. When I would pull it over my shoulder, there were so many people around. The smartest place to put it was to the side of me. So my teammates boxed out and allowed me to control the draw.
Regarding Shannon Gilroy: Shes a very good self drawer and she has goo d size and very good stick work so we wanted to take away her and being able to self draw. They have very good transition and we wanted to take that away.
Syracuse Attacker Sarah Holden
It was an emotional roller coaster out on the field. Down by seven, potentially your last game and being able to pull it out, its such an amazing feeling. Im so proud of my team.
It [overtime] was all in slow motion. I remember we were in our set offense and the goalie went down and made a save and I was certain that it would not happen to me again. So I did a split/dodge and buried it low and it went in. It was an amazing feeling.

|Group hypnotherapy for irritable bowel syndrome with long-term follow-up.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23153384 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Abstract This study tested whether group gut-focused hypnotherapy would improve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Several possible outcome predictors were also studied. Before treatment, 75 patients completed a Symptom Severity Scale, a Mind-Body attribution questionnaire, and a Quality of Relationship Inventory (QRI). The symptom scale was completed posttreatment, 3, 6, and 12 months later. There was significant symptom reduction at each data point (p < .001). Sixty percent had a reduction of more than 50 points, indicative of clinical improvement. Initial severity score (p = .0004) and QRI conflict (p = .057) were directly correlated with a response to hypnotherapy, while attribution of symptoms to mind (emotional) causation was inversely correlated (p = .0056). The authors conclude that group hypnotherapy is effective in patients with IBS.

Dec. 7, 1941: The day these children learned the meaning of war
For them, and the other children who witnessed the event first-hand, life would never be quite the same.
SUN CITY CENTER — Seven-year-old Arnold Larson thought he was watching a fireworks show until his dad handed him a .22 caliber rifle and instructed him to "shoot to kill."
Just four days past his sixth birthday, Ed Beck awoke to frantic conversation between his parents, jumped from his bed and stared out his window at the low-flying planes with the red "meatball" on the sides.
Meanwhile, down on Waikiki Beach, seventeen-year-old Shirley Gibbens (Engle) had just met two football teams that had arrived to play at the University of Hawaii. It was supposed to be her job to meet the buses and escort the players back to the school.
It was approximately 8 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 7, 1941. The day President Franklin Delano Roosevelt later said was a "day which would live in infamy."
The U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor had just been bombed.
The three "child survivors" of Pearl Harbor that were interviewed for this story all have different recollections of that day and the months that followed. Their memories come from different places, due to their age and circumstances surrounding the event.
"My father was career military. He had just gotten commissioned as an Ensign and we were outside in a recreation area that had a baseball field," Arnold Larson said. "The enlisted people had their Christmas party on the 6th, and the officers were supposed to have theirs there on the 7th. Some of the grownups were taking guns to the shooting range and when the planes came by, my father handed me a .22 rifle and my mother a .45 pistol. He told me to stay with my mother and shoot to kill."
When the first bomb hit, Arnold's first thought was that he was watching a fireworks show. The big boom, the tremendous splash of bright light.
"It took me a minute to realize the adults were scared," he said. "My father was a gunner's mate and I had already learned to shoot a weapon. In fact, the Saturday before, I had just shot a Thompson machine gun."
The day Arnold was interviewed for this story, he commented that it was "serendipity."
"I just sat down and was reading a letter from my father about combat action that was written on Dec. 6, 1942," he said. "I can't believe I got this call right now."
Ed Beck remembers being unable to comprehend the unfolding tragedy despite his mother's words.
"She held me up to the window so I could see the smoke and flames rising," he said. "I thought it was some sort of super Fourth of July."
Like Arnold, Ed thought only of fireworks. It took the child's mind a while to wrap around the thought of fear.
He recalls fighter planes being low overhead.
"They were so close you could easily see the men's faces, with goggles pushed up over their eyes," he said.
Ed's father was the Lt. Commander of the USS Phelps at the time. He later became a Rear Admiral. Ed thought it was funny to see him in dress uniform on what should have been a relaxing Sunday morning.
"He gave us one quick hug and he was gone," he said. But unlike many others — his father did come back.
During the weeks that followed, Ed remembers the demands to keep absolute silence, the air raid warnings and gas mask training.
Finally the families were evacuated to California by ship.
"They had to wait what seemed to be a long time and now I know it was because the government thought the enemy might torpedo the ship," he said.
Once back in the States, Ed saw the adults donating junk cars and other metal items. He now knows it was to make weapons.
"My mother was touched when I donated my bike," he said. "I had just gone from a trike to a regular bicycle. It wasn't any big thing. But she said it was the principle behind it."
Shirley Engle, then Shirley Gibbens, was 17 at the time of the Pearl Harbor bombing. Her father was in the Civil Service working at the Naval base.
"I grew up in Hawaii and had just started at the University. I was the youngest and the littlest, so I got the job of meeting two football teams that were coming in to play at the university. I got on the bus going to the beach, and a man said 'I think we'll be in a war by Christmas.' At the time, I thought, that can't happen! I have dates through New Year's. Normal thoughts for a teenage girl."
But what followed the bus ride to Waikiki Beach was anything but normal.
"I got to the beach before the second wave of bombing. The football teams got off the buses and I was with them. There was much activity, shells flying around, and we knew something drastic was going on."
Military personnel started putting barbed wire around the beach. They expected the enemy to land and the Red Cross came and told us to be ready to help them prepare beds for the wounded," she said. "It was horrific, seeing all the gorgeous ships in tatters. My father's job was to estimate damage. He estimated damage for a long time after that."
Shirley recalls living in complete blackout for a long time after the bombing. Everybody covered their windows tight with wood. There couldn't be a speck of light anywhere after dark. If there was, they could become a target.
All three remembered learning the meaning of fear. None of them had ever seen their parents frightened before. In the months to come, the families lived through blackouts, rationing and wreckage.
For them, and the other children who witnessed the event first-hand, life would never be quite the same.

The Theatre Royal Haymarket or Haymarket Theatre is a theatre on The Haymarket in London which dates back to 1720. The original building was a little further north in the same street. It has been at its current location since 1821, when it was redesigned by John Nash. Its current capacity is 888.
The Haymarket has been the site of a couple of significant innovations in theatre. In 1873, it was the venue for the first scheduled matinée performance, establishing a custom soon followed in theatres everywhere. Six years later, its auditorium was reconstructed and the stage was enclosed in the first use of the picture frame proscenium.
Theatre Royal Haymarket History
The Theatre Royal Haymarket's first major success was a 1729 production of Samuel Johnson's Hurlothrumbo, or The Supernatural, which ran for 80 nights -- a record surpassing John Gay's The Beggar's Opera and not to be matched until The Dragon of Wantley. In the 1720's, the Haymarket was an alternative to the patent theatres in every sense. When there was an actor's revolt at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1719, for example, the actors walked out to go to the Haymarket. They returned when they won their demands. In the eight to ten years before the Licensing Act of 1737, the Haymarket Theatre was an alternative to John Rich's Covent Garden theatre and the opera-dominated Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Hurlothrumbo was just one play in that series of anti-Walpolean satires. Henry Fielding staged his plays at the Haymarket Theatre, and so did Henry Carey. Hurlothrumbo would be followed by Tom Thumb, The Dragon of Wantley, Pasquin and others. Additionally, refugees from Drury Lane's and Covent Gardens's internal struggles would show up at the theatre, and thus Charlotte Charke would act there in a parody of her father, Colley Cibber, one of the owners and managers of Drury Lane. The Theatrical Licensing Act, however, put an end to the anti-ministry satires, and it all but entirely shut down the theatre.
In 1862, the theatre was host to a 400-night run of Our American Cousin, with Edward Southern as Lord Dundreary. The play's success brought the word "dreary" into common use.
In 1893, Oscar Wilde premiered A Woman of No Importance, his first comedy. The play returned for a 2003 production directed by Adrian Noble and starring Rupert Graves, Samantha Bond, Prunella Scales and Rachael Stirling.
The theatre underwent a major refurbishment in 1994. In May 2004 it closed for two nights after parts of the ceiling fell down during a performance. About 13 people suffered mainly cuts and bruises when plaster fell into the auditorium during the "When Harry Met Sally..." Show. Since then, the theatre has played host to a short-lived run of Becket directed by John Caird followed in January 2005 by the world premiere of Victoria Wood's new musical Acorn Antiques - based upon the TV series of the same name. This starred Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Duncan Preston, Neil Morrissey, Sally Ann Triplett and Josie Lawrence and ran until 21 May 2005. The Genius Of Ray Charles - a new American musical followed in the Summer of 2005 running for eight weeks to 13 August 2005. More recently, Bill Kenwright's new production of A Few Good Men played to packed houses starring Rob Lowe, Suranne Jones, John Barrowman and Jack Ellis.

"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Again, these were perfect for a nine year old's "Lego Birthday Party"....I used a photo of him in his Lego costume from last Halloween!"
"Loved my daughters 1st bday invites. The designs provided were excellent. I appreciated the sophisticated yet whimsical choices. As always, the print & paper quality was top of the line. Lastly, love that you provide a designer review! We will not shop anywhere else."
"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."

From Christine: A Starbucks manager in Kansas City thwarted a robbery Sunday night by disarming the gunman and slashing him with a box cutter. The 30-year-old suspect showed up at a hospital for treatment of a cut to his chest. After being released from the hospital, he was booked into jail.
The failed holdup occurred about 10:45 p.m. at the coffee house at 4140 Main St. The suspect walked into the back office where the manager was counting money and told the manager to get into a freezer. The manager refused and fought the suspect, who hit the manager in the head with the butt of his gun. The manager pulled a box cutter out of his pocket and cut the suspect. The manager took the gun away and shoved the suspect out the door.
The manager suffered a cut above his eye, which was closed with glue at a hospital.

HALL OF FAME: Gymnastics All-American Carol Johnston
She never planned on being a movie star. She really wanted to win a national championship. Either way, All-American Carol Johnston etched her name into Cal State Fullerton athletic lore as a member of one of the most dominant collegiate women's gymnastics teams of her time.
As a sophomore in 1978, Johnston, who was also the WCAA champion on beam as a freshman, was named an AIAW All-American on both the balance beam and floor exercise, finishing as the national runner-up in both disciplines at the national meet that season. With her sights set firmly on winning a national title the following year, the dream came crashing down when she fell from the uneven bars during warm-ups prior to a meet, tearing ligaments in her knee and putting her in a cast for eight weeks, sidelining her for the season.
"My goal was to win the 1979 national championship in the floor exercise," Johnston told the Daily Titan in a feature story written on Sept. 16, 1980. "I had a new routine worked out that I knew would win, and I was excited for the new season."
She underwent surgery on her knee two days following the injury and had to watch that season while her teammates went on to win the AIAW National Championship.
However, just as quickly, a star was born. A 20-minute educational film about Johnston and her life was seen by an executive at Disney and it quickly turned into the feature film "Lefty," premiering across the nation on "Disney's Wonderful World" on Sept. 21, 1980. She was followed by a film crew, chronicling her daily routine, including everything from brushing her teeth in the morning to going out on dates.
That didn't stop her from her goal of returning in time for the 1980 season, however, but another injury to the same knee did. Johnston underwent a major knee reconstruction and was out for another 12 weeks, essentially ending her competitive career.
In her three seasons with the Titans, Cal State Fullerton compiled a record of 45-0 in meets, part of a larger run that grew to 71-0 when you include the year before Johnston's arrival in 1976 and the first three meets of 1980 before the Titans lost for the first time at Penn State -- the site of their national championship a year earlier and against the team they had edged for the school's first Division I national title.
Johnston, along with men's soccer standout Mike Fox, men's basketball head coach Bobby Dye, and the 1995 NCAA National Champion baseball team, will be inducted into the hall's fifth biennial class on Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. in the Grand Ballroom of the Fullerton Marriott near the Cal State Fullerton campus.
Individual tickets for the 2013 Cal State Fullerton Athletics Hall of Fame are now available for $95 with tables of 10 available for $800. Those who wish to attend the event can register online by clicking here.
For more information on the event, please contact Greg Paules, Director of Development for Athletics, at (657) 278-4516 or via email at email@example.com.


text: November 10 2010Barbara Fields underwent her first chemotherapy treatments for lung cancer in July and she felt terrible, bad enough to wish she'd never started smoking. "Oh, my God, no, I wouldn't wish this on anyone," Barbara said. "It's not so much what I'm going through, but it's what my kids and family are going through. It's not fair for my family." Barbara, 57, is a Haida from Craig, though she was born and raised in Klawock. She was a tribal administrator in Craig and before that worked for tribal programs in Ketchikan. Barbara even spent several years as a drug and alcohol counselor. She started smoking when she was 17 or 18, after a schoolmate named Sue dared her to smoke. Most of her family smoked, including her parents, so cigarettes were everywhere. Barbara tried to quit smoking several times, but nothing worked. It wasn't until 40 years later, on June 17, when Barbara finally quit. That was the day she found out she had Stage 4 lung cancer (her cancer had spread to other organs). "I quit kinda late," Barbara said. Doctors were looking for something else when they found her cancer. Barbara was in Sitka at the SouthEast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) S'áxt' Hít Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital having a CT scan of her stomach due to a bad case of anemia, and the image caught part of her lung and showed a spot. Since then, Barbara has been at the Anchorage Native Medical Center receiving cancer treatments. An allergic reaction to one of the drugs made her sick non-stop for three days following her first treatment. "It's horrible," Barbara said. "All those moments where I said the cigarettes were relaxing me, I wish I could give them back. This (chemo) is another poison, and hopefully it will make me feel better." Barbara, a widow, has three daughters and two sons. She also is raising her 8-year-old grandaughter, Victoria, who is in Anchorage with Barbara. "She's always asking me, 'How are you feeling, Naan (Haida for grandmother),'" Barbara said. "She's my best friend." After she was diagnosed with cancer, Barbara talked with her family and decided to tell her story. She hopes her story might help others quit tobacco, or not even start. "I do want kids to stop smoking," Barbara said. "If people see a face they know, it means more, because that's my family, that's my friend. If one kid stops smoking, telling my story will be worth it." Barbara is working with the SEARHC Tobacco Program to help tell her story in Southeast Alaska, especially on Prince of Wales Island. The American Cancer Society's 35th annual Great American Smokeout is Thursday, Nov. 18, making it the perfect day to quit tobacco. The SEARHC Tobacco Program has offices in Sitka, Juneau and Klawock to provide support and nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patches, etc.). SEARHC Tobacco staff will offer a variety of activities on the Great American Smokeout to help tobacco users who want to quit. To learn more about the SEARHC Tobacco Program's tobacco quit services (available in all SEARHC communities), please call the SEARHC Tobacco Quit Line at 1-888-966-8875 (toll-free).

Jazz CD Reviews
Jesse Cook – The Blue Guitar Sessions – eOneMusic
Published on November 1, 2012
Jesse Cook – The Blue Guitar Sessions – eOneMusic 2441 47:06 ***:
(Jesse Cook – guitar; Amy Laing – cello; Tom Szczesniak – piano, accordion; Chris Church – violin; Emma-Lee – vocals; Pat Collins – bass; Maninho Costa – percussion; Chendy Leon – drums, percussion)
Jesse Cook is a Toronto-based musician who has an international reputation as a rumba flamenco guitarist, and has won a number of Canadian music awards, including a Juno and the Canadian Smooth Jazz Award for guitarist of the year. In this release called The Blue Guitar Sessions he is trying to expand his style into new ground which he does with some success.
Jesse Cook is a crisp guitarist with a strong lyrical footing but does not stray too far from his musical comfort zone. This outing of fourteen tracks is mainly Cook originals, with the exception of Jay Hawkins' "I Put A Spell On You" and that Jacques Brel French classic "Ne Me Quitte Pas". These two tunes are vocals by Toronto singer Emma-Lee. In the case of the former we are offered a restrained out of body version that belies the original, and the Brel tune is given a heartfelt but standard reading.
Cook was born in Paris France to Canadian parents and spent his early years in France and Spain where he developed a fascination for the gypsy guitar style of Manitas de Plata. Eventually returning to Canada, he completed his musical education by attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston. The intention with this session was to break away from the tried and true flamenco format and to look for something jazzier and open. However relying on his compositions for the most part to accomplish this may not have been the best approach. Although beautifully played by Cook and his cohorts, all the tunes are mostly done the same style and tempo and tend to become background music with a couple of exceptions. On "Broken Moon" there is a novel cello interlude by Amy Laing, and on "Witching Hour" Tom Szczesniak's accordion adds a banks of the Seine feel.
The breakthrough that Jesse Cook was looking for will have to wait to another time.
TrackList: I Put A Spell On You; Broken Moon; Witching Hour; Toybox; Fields Of Blue; Miles Shorter; Gone; Ne Me Quitte Pas; Diminished; The Road; Ocean Blue; You; When Night Turns; Midnight

Baker quick to reach the top
Posted: January 25, 2014|
A bakery in inner-city Bristol has been named Baker of the Year in the national Farm Shop and Deli Awards.
The accolade for the East Bristol Bakery is the latest step in a short but remarkable journey for the business.
Owner Alex Poulter was unsure where his career was going as he moved from one minimum wage bar or shop job to the next. When he got some work experience in a bakery, he had found his calling, but still not a career as there were no jobs locally.
Undeterred Alex decided to go into business. He worked with Outset Bristol, an organisation that supports people setting up in business, and has not looked back.
Alex, 28, said: "It's great to be recognised as part of the fantastic food scene that we have going on in the UK."
Chair of judges Nigel Barden said: "It's inspiring to find East Bristol Bakery is so much at the heart of its community."

How to Buy a 16th Year Wedding Anniversary Gift
Unlike milestone anniversaries, the 16th anniversary does not have any traditional gifts associated with it. However, contemporary gift lists suggest silver hollowware, which includes a range of household items that are made of silver and hollow. The lists also recommend peridot as the 16th anniversary gemstone, with aquamarine as an alternative. While it is not necessary to follow the contemporary gift list suggestions, they provide a starting point for generating ideas. Consider the following tips on how to buy a 16th year wedding anniversary gift.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Purchase the contemporary gift recommendation of silver holloware to honor a couple celebrating a 16th anniversary. This can include silver table service items, picture frames or albums, or a vase.
- Select silver table service items, such as creamers, sugar bowls, pitchers or bowls. If possible, buy a silver item that compliments the couple's china pattern. If you aren't familiar with their china, purchase a silver item that reflects the couple's decorating taste, such as traditional, modern or eclectic.
- If the couple drinks tea, purchase a silver teapot and package it with a selection of fine teas.
- If the couple prefers coffee, buy a silver coffee server and pair it with some of your favorite kinds of coffee. Add flavored creamers, sugar cubes or even honey to create a gift that the couple can put right to use.
- Set a favorite wedding picture into a silver frame.
- Present a collection of silver frames or a silver-plated photo album with photos from special moments throughout the couple's married life.
- Fill a silver vase with 16 flowers--a flower for each anniversary year. Or, for a sentimental touch, fill a silver vase with the same kind of flowers the bride carried at her wedding.
2Choose a personal gift of peridot or aquamarine jewelry. This can be a memorable way for a couple to recognize their 16th wedding anniversary together. A wife may select a peridot ring or aquamarine cuff links for her husband; and a husband may purchase a pendant, earrings, bracelet or a ring displaying either of the gemstones for his wife.
3Get creative with a gift that focuses on the number 16. The gift can be quite simple or an elaborate planned event.
- Fill a jar with chocolates or other candies and attach a card that reads, "Sweet 16."
- Bake 16 muffins or cookies to give to the anniversary couple.
- Create a scavenger hunt in which the couple visits 16 places that are significant in their relationship.
- Send the couple on a 16-night trip, or make reservations for the couple for a weekend in Tennessee, the 16th state in the United States.

Houston Grows
Neighbors tend community gardens. Donation gardens nourish the hungry. Children learn to distinguish corn from beans in schoolyard plots. Homeowners carve gardens from backyard carpets of St. Augustine grass. Others, limited by space and time, raise a container or two of tomatoes or herbs and shop at Bayou City Farmers Market.
"How Green is my Houston?" a resident might ask. It's Greener since Dr. Bob Randall, a volunteer for the former Houston Hunger Coalition, founded Urban Harvest more than a decade ago. Today its staff of 13 offers expertise in organic gardening, beginning with one very important lesson about Houston's dirt. It needs some help.
"It's clay gumbo," says Kara Masharani, outreach coordinator of the nonprofit organization. "One of the first lessons we teach is to use raised beds."
Giving that gumbo a hand up, Houstonians watch their gardens flourish in the greenhouse climate we otherwise know as muggy Houston weather.
Elsewhere, some of the city's most enthusiastic gardeners are the youngest. Since it began, Urban Harvest has worked with 50 schools that turn a portion of school grounds into outdoor classrooms.
Carol Burton and Michael Godoy oversee Urban Harvest's After School Program in 19 Houston schools. More than just digging in the dirt, garden activities combine math, science, nutrition, exercise, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. Kids and parents love it.
"At the farmers market, a parent came up to me and said, 'I thought this was a nothing program, but it has been the best thing for my child. It's the only thing she wants to talk about when she gets home,' " Carol says.
Other new growing areas heal the blemishes of abandoned lots in underserved Houston neighborhoods. The City of Houston provides the funding to break up concrete and prepare the soil. Then Urban Harvest works with community residents to help them turn eyesores into eye-popping gardens. So far, three vacant-lot gardens flourish.
Houston, says Urban Harvest volunteer Ray Sher, looks Greener and eats healthier these days. "All around me are gardens," he says. "I think Urban Harvest had a great deal to do with that. Thousands come through those classes that are jam-packed. This has an enormous impact near their homes."
All can experience that at Bayou City Farmers Market, where this year's second crop of tomatoes will arrive during Houston's long, warm fall.
Although Houston's winter weather sometimes flirts with freezing temperatures, citrus still grows great here. That's why Urban Harvest's annual Fruit Tree Sale, the third Saturday in January, draws so many. In four hours, buyers snap up 6,000 fruit trees. "Every year some trees can produce between 600 and 1,000 fruits that taste wonderful," says Ray Sher, volunteer chairman of the sale, which is held at Emerson Unitarian Church.
Urban Harvest Classroom
Most classes at Urban Harvest are scheduled in the evenings and on Saturdays at the former Anson Jones Elementary School at 2311 Canal Street. Bayou City Farmers Market is located in the back parking lot at 3000 Richmond Avenue, between Kirby and Buffalo Speedway. It is open 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday. Visit www.urbanharvest.org, or call (713) 880-5540.
"Houston Grows" is from the August 2008 issue of Texas Living: People & Places, a special section of Southern Living for our subscribers in Texas.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009
Exhibit A comes from China, which shrugged off its yesterday's 1% rally in the SPX and its own tepid bounce earlier in the day to close down 4.3%, below the 2800 level cited locally as the average entry price for domestic funds. True to the surfin' motif, however, H shares (which remain open 75 minutes later than Shanghai) put in a reasonable bounce into the close.
What's somewhat amusing is that some of the most vociferous proponents of the China bull story (both in terms of local returns and its impact on the world) seem happy to dismiss the 20% pullback with a cavalier wave of the hand. Perhaps this is appropriate...but then again, perhaps not. Macro Man was amused to see that Goldman now forecasts a RRR hike and 3 rate rises next year, but expects this to have no impact on the Chiona bull story.
Hmmm....a market that is floating on a sea of liquidity will receive a policy tightening, and this won't have an impact? OK. What is interesting is that retail interest in Chinese equities seems to be on the wane; the pace of new brokerage account openings has decelerated quite a bit from its late July peak.
Coincidentally or not, that late July peak coincided with the top in Chinese stocks. More ominously, it came quick on the heels of the dreaded "sky dog" eclipse. Macro Man pooh-poohed the ol' extra-terrestrial pooch at the time, but it seems as if he was mistaken in doing so.
Elsewhere, the Bank of England surprised markets (or at least Macro Man) by revealing that it had voted 6-3 to hike QE this month, with Merve the Swerve in the minority. What was shocking was not that there was a split decision (Macro Man expected this, given that he didn't think the Bank would extend QE at all), but that the decision was split in favour of doing more, rather than less, QE.
Zowie! Merve reminds Macro Man of a religious convert, such is his zeal for Gilt-buying these days.
There was no mention in the minutes of taking deposit rates negative or anything like that, rumours of which had fueled a sharp rally in Sep short sterling. Unlike every other front contract out there, Sep sterling is trading 10 bps through the current LIBOR fix...which itself is only 25 bps through the policy rate.
Obviously, LIBOR fixes have been coming down and could well continue to do so...but the same holds true in the US, for example, as well. And with only a 25bp basis to policy, risks must surely arise that the pace of LIBOR reductions slows if not stops...leaving that front contract looking vulnerable, surely?
Just another wave to surf...

Great to have you back, MM.
Question on USD: Why do you think EU/USD is still hovering around 1.40s when EU's structural problems exist due to high unemployment, exposure to Baltic, Eastern European financing bonanza, etc.
I'm no fan of USD, myself, but still can't see why EU is still around 1.40s instead of 1.20s, imho!?

My view is that current EUR/USD levels are a function of a) residual of the pro-risk environment, which encourages fundinbg in dollars to buy more interesting things, pushing the $ lower, and b) another residual of the pro-risk environment, namely that EM CBs accumulate $ reserves and then buy euros with some of 'em.

I recommend you buy calls on Jim O'Neill's bullishness.

The propaganda from many of the Investment Banks following China's sell-off on Monday was hilarious - the JPM version was also in the FT for good measure. The key point is how violently the equity market has reacted to any hint of policy tightening. A nice way to express a "short China" view is via the AUD (just add leverage).

Agreed on EUR:USD - also the correlation between EUR:JPY and $wtic has been astonishingly tight. Carry trades are alive and well.
Enjoy the cricket tomorrow, Skippy, - and MM at the Oval. LB will be in an Aussie bar in NY. Painful.

MW - Can I get some calls on Jim Cramer bullishness, hedged by puts on the underlying securities? That seems easier money than the trades I'm actually in.

any thoughts on EURSEK? on a long term chart it looks like the mother of all head and shoulders, but recently it seems pretty correlated to risk on trades.

The talk of rate hikes seems eerily reminiscent of the rate hike talk last year after the Fed dropped the rate to 2%. Kudlow said a hike to 2.25% would be the "shot heard around the world."
However, looks like others don't see it that way:
1618 GMT [Dow Jones] Brokers report very large put butterfly spread in Eurodollar futures, as a trading firm hopes to profit soon from expectations for lower prices and higher rates in 3Q next year. Brokerage house performed 50,000 so-called mid-curve spreads, simultaneously buying and selling puts at 3 separate strike or underlying futures prices. Objective is for Sep 2010 contract price to fall to 98.00 and anticipated Libor rise to 2%. Options expire next month. Sep '10 recently trading at 98.31, up 2.5 BP, seeing Libor at 1.69%. (HLP)

ALthough EUR/SEK has had a decent run down, it seems to me that interest and positioning are both disproportionate to the expected future returns. I contemplated a purchase today before I came to my senses and remembered that I hate trading Scandis (in either direction.)
Remember, betting on Sep 2010 eurodollars going down over the next 3 weeks is not the same as expecting loads of rate hikes next year..far from it. It's largely a bet on sentiment and positioning...and that red Sep contract had a 60+ bp peak-to-trough rally since payrolls.
My understanding is that this fly was actually rolling up a put spread...ie selling the 9800/9775 ps and buying the 9825/9800 ps. Even if it wasn't and is actually a fly trade, I do have some symnpathy for it as a hedge against other stuff...indeed, I did something not dissimilar yesterday.

While agnostic on which way the Shanghai market jumps next, I feel obliged to point out that drops of 20%+ are usually what defines the left shoulder of a rally here. That said, they also define the peak, which is why I don't recommend hiring me (or anyone else) as a chartist...

Heck, and here I thought just about ALL ForEx traders were chartists/TA types.

Slightly off topic here MM.... but a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide a year -- equivalent to the CO2 output resulting from a 13,000 kilometer car journey. And that doesn't even count methane!
If my math is correct, you can take a private jet to Norway for a hunting trip and, if you kill more than three moose, you'll have enough carbon credits to open up your own oil refinery.
Just a random problem that I worked through this weekend. Hope it helps.
Also, I'm having nightmares about the dreaded witches hat. Tequila isn't helping anymore.

Have you noticed the retest of the neckline on the other indices? It's looking like maybe more rally to me, 20% more (and I am not agnostic, I'm a disbeliever)

Macro Man - quick question: crude. Not sure where we go from here and technically looks like a lot of momentum money is about to pile in. Looks like a good hedge to a short developed market equities bias.

Yeah, I've had some longer dated crude calls in the book for several months now, and have traded the delta around base on shorter-term view. Currently have a smallish +ve delta, but given recent rip I certainly have no desire to de-hedge.

Nice work. Will send over some stuff on corn. Looking more interesting from the point of view of "seriously it can't get any worse"
