text: hi guy's I know you guys don't want to here this but what i have to say IS SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN!!!!!!! So what I think happened is that bon-chan was fighting Magellan and he gave up and started to run. At the same time BB pirates started to leave and Magellan standed in their way. So BB fought him and won , then Bon-chan stole a warship and headed for kambakka kingdom. On his way there he ran into ivankov who was also headed to kambakka kingdom so he followed him. When he reached there he asked Iva if he could join the revolutionarie's he said he could but he would have to get stronger because the revolutionarie's decided to head out to the harsh seas of the new world. Bon-chan said he wanted to join the revolutionarie's hoping that he would see luffy (cosidering dragon wants to see luffy). So then Bon-chan asked if there were any okama kenpo master's on the island Ivankov said there were some okama kenpo master's up on heart mountain and that he could train there. So Bon-chan decided to train there for one year and learn okama kenpo's secret's,then he joined the revolutionarie's as a spy and went to Mariejois to do some undercover work. There he ran into the SH at Mariejois and got into a fight with them in the end he got a call from dragon to join his son's crew and protect him. And thats my theory hope you like it :) no trollin rate this idea out of 10

text: I'm an LA Chowhounder in downtown Sacramento through Thursday while my husband takes the bar exam. We're staying at the Sheraton at the convention center and do not have a car. I'm looking for walkable easy to go lunches that I can have waiting in the room for him during his lunch break. So far looks like mostly a subway on every block, which could get old quickly. We normally love all "ethnic" foods and dives, but for this week it's important not to have anything that's likely to cause any digestive issues. I'm also looking for decent casual dinners, preferably walkable, but we could take a cab for something really worth it. Searching your board, it looks like Rubicon brewey could be a good place to celebrate when the test is done. We'd love some fresh localy sourced California fair.

Rolling Death is the translation of a Stofonian phrase that refers to powered, armored, military assault vehicles of every kind. The term encompasses both vehicles that we would recognize as "tanks", as well as lighter vehicles with rubber tires.
The term "Rolling Death" generally only applies to vehicles actually intended to be driven in combat. Vehicles used as transports for troops or supplies are called by other names, as are vehicles with guns so large that they cannot be fired without first anchoring to the ground.
Rolling Death machines first appeared in the Last War. These earliest examples had metal wheels and were powered by steam. They were slow, bulky, and generally ineffective, but they left a lasting impression due to sheer novelty.
Between the Last War and the Fracture, the internal combustion engine replaced steam, and metal wheels gave way to rubber tires on the lighter models and tracks on the heavier models.
The light, fast versions were frequently used between the wars in anti-insurgency campaigns in Juturia.
Rolling Death of all type were heavily used in the early days of the Fracture, but by the later days of it fuel supplies had become too exhausted to keep the machines running.

I made a batch of fondant gumpaste mix, ie fondant with a bit of gumtex added almost a week ago, I want to use it tomorrow for making Gerberas- I just was rearranging my suitcase just now(taking the decorating stuff on the plane) and the fondant gumpaste mix is rock hard! But I wrapped it super well in plastic wrap several times and a thick plastic bag and it was and is airtight. So will I be able to soften it again say in the microwave? It has been at room temperature the whole time, no freezing or fridge. UGH I know regular fondant sits fine at room temp and well wrapped- but this block is seriously rock hard. HELP!
You might be able to reserect it by adding some water or egg white. It will be messy kneading it in MW'ing it a few seconds might also help, but it will shorten the time you can handle it...it dries out really fast.

So am I right to assume that when you make a batch of gumpaste, ideally you're supposed to use it right away? I mean fondant stores OK and I've had it well wrapped at room temp, as well as under refrigeration and it was either still soft enough to use, or was workable after warming a bit in the microwave.
A silly question bearing in mind that this is the first time I'm working with gumpaste: how much egg white to add, do I beat it first with a fork until it's frothy, or does it have to be whipped entirely? I don't have Woolley's book at hand where he goes into lots of details about the flower dough he makes. And the only forum posts I've seen here about storing gumpaste, have to do with after it's been turned into flowers or figurines etc.
TIA for any tips or clarification
Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner.....I was decorating a cake
Just straignt egg white; dip some of the hard gp into it and knead away. Keep dipping if needed. Same if you use wate4r.
I have kept gp in the frig for several weeks - wrapped as you mentioned.
JFYI: GumTex really doesn't make gumpaste. What you gtet is more pastaglige(sp??) It dries faster & harder than gp.
Thanks for the info on what to do for gumpaste that has gotten hard. I bought the rynolds vacuume seal , it suck all the air out of the baggie.

Root Canal
Root canal treatment elicits varying reactions from people. Some are scared of it, while most feel that the procedure will give them so much pain, they avoid it entirely. We, at Rhodes and Slager Family Dental Care, are here to give you as much education as you need about the root canal procedure and what it entails. We guarantee that root canal treatment will only be performed when necessary. Before a root canal is recommended, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.
During root canal treatment, the infected pulp or soft tissue inside of a tooth is removed. Doing this will restore the health of a tooth and save it from extraction. Once the infected tissue is taken out, a filling material will be placed so your tooth is restored. Sometimes, a dental crown may be necessary after the root canal treatment, to offer a tooth further protection.
Also called endodontic treatment, this procedure is performed on a tooth that is decayed but not badly damaged. A root canal will not only eliminate pain, but can save a permanent tooth from extraction. It is a treatment that mustn't be feared, but a process that can, thankfully, save a tooth. We take extra care numbing the tooth so you will absolutely feel no pain during the entire procedure.
Treatment time varies according to the condition of the patient's teeth. There are times when only one tooth needs root canal treatment, but there are also cases wherein several teeth require endodontics. The length of time, need for crowns, and need for medication all depend on the conditions of a patient's tooth.
We do almost all of the root canal treatments at our office to better serve you and limit the number of providers you need to see to repair a broken tooth. Contact us today and find out why our patients love coming to see us.

About: Sunderland Royal Hospital Sunderland Royal Hospital Sunderland SR4 7TP
Posted by Bryony Cooper
What I liked
I had my baby son on 27th March. The birth was not straight forward and he had to stay in hospital for five days. The level of care we received was outstanding. I can't put into words how fabulous all of the staff were - professional and caring at all times. I am sure we will not stand out from the hundreds of babies brought safely into the world at Sunderland, but we will certainly remember the staff forever - special thanks to the Neonatal Specialists who were miracle workers, my doctor and midwife - an angel in disguise and the Aux nurse who so patiently supported us through a tricky period whilst trying to get established with breast feeding. Thank you.

Coffee is probably one of the most commonly used medications in America. For some of us, it's vitally important to have the correct amount of coffee at the right times of day, otherwise everything starts going downhill. Thankfully, you don't need a doctor's prescription for coffee. At least, not yet. But you can pretend that you're just taking your prescription when you drink your morning joe.

"When you fall in love with an idea you fall in love with an idea; I just think it's really cool"
– Stefan Allesch-Taylor CBE on EatAbout
Our CEO Philip joined Stefan Allesch-Taylor CBE on his show 'Stefan Means Business' on Soho Radio this morning for a good-humoured and inspiring chat about EatAbout.
Stefan is very much a larger-than-life character whose charming sense of humour Philip had little trouble keeping up with. Admitting that "no one's had the balls to do what [Philip] did before the first song that early in the show before" (with his remark about palates waning with age), Stefan and Philip kept up the banter as they got down to business.
Getting down to business
The first topic on the agenda was how EatAbout came to exist, and Philip's story of how he started the company took everyone by surprise: "I came up with the idea a few years ago, but then life got in the way, I had a job, and it wasn't until about 9 months ago when I quit my job, went travelling in Asia, and I was sitting on a horse riding through the plains of Mongolia, and I said 'screw it, I'm going to start EatAbout!'"
Stefan was surprised to hear that EatAbout, which had been developed completely in-house, became a fully-functioning business on a tiny budget, dubbing it "a master-class in how to get from point zero to opening the door by using the smarts and the skill-sets that [Philip and Felix have] got."
The EatAbout team has indeed "hustled brilliantly" to get to where it is today; hard-work which Stefan acknowledged has created "a wave of sensation that got a 6 page article on Mail Online which is the most read online publication in the world, and [EatAbout] did that from an in-house PR perspective."
The conversation then shifted onto how EatAbout works and how the mobile-friendly website looks. "The website is really cool; it's focussed; not fussy; it does the job". As Philip pointed out, "We are not surprised to hear such a description, as that is exactly the idea we had in mind when designing the site."
How it works for chefs
Philip also took some time to outline what the EatAbout proposition is for chefs: "There's a lot of different chefs on the platform, some of them come from restaurant backgrounds, so they've worked in restaurant kitchens which can be a nightmare of a job. It's extremely long hours, very low pay, and it's basically like working on a factory line, creating each dish; and you're working on one dish for the entire time, and you never meet the customer. So for them it's about meeting the customer, getting that feedback. They make money on their own schedule. Most of our chefs are from professional chef backgrounds, but they don't have to be, and by having a lot of different levels of chefs we can hit many different price points."
Stefan quickly spotted how attractive EatAbout is for chefs, and noted that the chef review system is built to provide a "filter of quality; a constant monitoring of the chefs performance and the chefs experience via the app so you can see all of the reviews, and the people leave their names and they're part of it, so there's a complete transparent legitimacy about it. It obviously makes complete sense. There are layers and layers of surety that you are really getting a quality experience, but the location changes, and the chefs change".
The more Philip shared about EatAbout, the more enthusiastic Stefan seemed to get, highlighting that "when you fall in love with an idea you fall in love with an idea, I just think it's really cool".
What's coming next
Particularly after a friend did some name dropping, Stefan was curious to know what EatAbout has in the pipeline. He bluntly asked, "And you are going to meet Heston Blumenthal, right? Is he going to do this with you?" Naturally Philip left him guessing, not wanting to spoil too many accomplishments to come.
One recent accomplishment was being labelled "the Airbnb for restaurants" by the Mail Online – something EatAbout fully embraces, though Stefan had a slightly different view, saying that "I don't like saying 'Airbnb for restaurants' because EatAbout is going to be a brand in itself."
Stefan on joining EatAbout...
Perhaps the biggest praise of all was that when Stefan said, "If [Philip] asked me to cook, I would do it. There's an air of knight about this guy". However, judging by his cooking review from none other than Gordon Ramsey (on the Jonathan Ross show no less), Stefan might have to spend more time in the kitchen before applying.
Philip did in any case invite Stefan to book an EatAbout meal himself – an offer Stefan accepted with open arms. Though the chef may have to be fore-warned of Stefan's tendency to listen to Celine Dion and to expect an endless barrage of complaints about their curtains...
Rounding out, the two entrepreneurs agreed that the chat had been a brilliant experience and that time had really flown by. Stefan concluded with the prediction that "EatAbout is clearly something we're gonna be reading more and more about over the coming years".

Ravello's deep technology is wrapped up and presented to users as an easy to use service. Think of Ravello as an overlay cloud provider that sits on top of Tier-1 leading clouds. Enterprises simply log into Ravello, import their workloads, and deploy them to any supported cloud region.
Global footprint
Ravello does not own and operate its own data centers (a capital extensive endeavor), but rather, operates a cloud service, powered by its unique HVX software infrastructure on top of Tier-1 leading clouds. Ravello leverages Oracle Cloud's, AWS's and Google's best-in-class hardware, scale, economics, and operational practices to provide a robust enterprise grade cloud service to its customers.
Through Ravello, enterprises can deploy their VMware or KVM workloads on any leading cloud region (without requiring migration), in Ravello's global footprint - and benefit from low latency, high throughput access to their application environments.
Uptime and service availability
A big element of uptime is the architecture of the software used to provide the service. As discussed here the Ravello management system is built using industry best practices and includes redundancy and high availability at all layers in the overall stack.
In addition to the architecture, Ravello operations has implemented industry best practices to ensure maximum service uptime. Ravello monitors and manages its entire service offering - system, storage, network, databases and customer usage - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This monitoring is done using internal and external engines from various locations around the world in a distributed and scalable manner. Ravello's redundant software architecture and robust operations have enabled the company to achieve very low unplanned downtime for its service. Over the last one year, Ravello management system downtime has ranged from 0 hours - 0.8 hours per quarter.
Another element of the software architecture is around minimizing planned downtime. Most Ravello software updates and upgrades to the management system do not cause any downtime. In exceptional cases, the management system is unavailable for a maximum of 10 minutes. It is also important to note, that the Ravello service is designed such that even if the management service were to suffer downtime, enterprise workloads that were already deployed will continue to run uninterrupted.
Given Ravello's unique capability of enabling enterprises to deploy their workloads to leading clouds, enterprises can achieve very high availability levels for their application environments. For example, if there is a storm on the US eastern seaboard, enterprises can with a single click deploy that application environment to Google's US central region with zero downtime.
Continuous improvement
Ravello's development and operations team function as one. The product architecture and the operational practices are built around rolling out new features rapidly while at the same time, maintaining high quality and uptime for the service. Ravello rolls out dozens of software enhancements, updates and bug fixes every quarter. The company has implemented robust release and change management methodologies, procedures and tools to ensure that this level of agility is provided safely to its customers. One of the risk mitigation approaches used, is to gradually roll out new features and key core components to subsets of users.
Capacity Management
Since Ravello does not operate its own servers, networking and storage - but rather, leverages Tier-1 leading clouds, theoretically Ravello's capacity is the sum of the capacity of the underlying clouds - basically, a lot. Despite that, the Ravello operations team carefully monitors and manages underlying cloud resources and quotas to ensure that its customers always have enough capacity even for peak workloads.
Operational transparency
Transparency is a guiding tenet of Ravello's operations team. Ravello provides a systems health page outlining the status of all service components. Customers and prospective customers can always reach Ravello operations via the support portal. The operations team proactively sends out regular updates to customers when specific actions are required. For example, if Ravello gets notified that instances belonging to certain customers are being retired by Oracle Public Cloud, the Ravello operations team reaches out to the customer and makes sure that there is a plan to transition that workload to a different instance or even a different cloud provider. Storm warnings that have the potential to impact service operations are similarly communicated in advance as are cloud provider rolling upgrades.

Katie Brand Blog - Greetings from China
Katie Brand Blog - Greetings from China
Senior Katie Brand is currently with the U.S. Collegiate National Team on a 12-day tour of China, with stops in Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing and other cities along the way. She will check in periodically throughout the two weeks, sharing her experiences of not only high-level volleyball but the Chinese culture as well.
Hello from China everyone!
It's currently 7:23 a.m. on Thursday in Jintan, China. We arrived in this "small village" (as they call it) of half a million people yesterday afternoon and were swarmed by local news and media stations. Tonight we will play their Chinese professional team that finished second in the league this year – so I can see why it's a big deal. I can't wait to tell you all about that! But first, let me recap all the amazing experiences up to this point.
My trip started last Saturday (June 18) when I left the airport in Kansas City at a not-so-bright-but-very-early 4:30 a.m. I arrived in Los Angeles around 7:30 a.m. before making my way to the hotel where I received my gear and met my roommate, Courtney Schwan of the University of Washington. The stay in LA was brief as we practiced Saturday evening, had a team meeting, slept, practiced Sunday morning, showered at the practice facility, and went right back to the airport.
Now, the nonstop, 14-hour flight to China may not sound great initially, but hear me out. It was incredible! I can only compare it to retirement living, where you sleep and are awaken for food every three hours. I would highly recommend. I also had the window seat – which was great for sleeping and not so good for views of the Pacific Ocean the entire time.
Our flight concluded in Shanghai around 6 p.m. on Monday evening. We were immediately escorted to what I can only call the "feast of all feasts." We sat around a large table that had a spinning top in the middle. The waiters and waitresses brought out all the best food they had to offer for two hours, and it spun around in the middle so everyone could try it. Nothing taste what it looked like, and half the time you wonder what you're actually eating, but all in all, it was delicious. We then went to our hotel, which was comparable to the Chinese version of the Embassy Suites.
The next morning, we traveled to an old temple. The traveling via bus was in itself an experience. Pedestrians definitely don't have the right away, and although there are street lines, you don't necessarily have to abide by them. We all held on tight as we zoomed in and out of cars, bicyclists, and carts – not your typical driving experienced in the Midwest.
After the freestyle driving, we spent a few hours walking around and learning about the Chinese culture. We also visited the various shops and vendors that are crammed in every nook and cranny. I bought a much needed self-propelled fan, as the humidity neared 100%. We spent the rest of the day trying foods we couldn't pronounce and bonding as new teammates. We ended the day with a boat ride at sunset. The Shanghai skyline was gorgeous – as were the unnecessary amount of pictures we took of it.
Day number three consisted of traveling to the city of Jintan, also an experience. We made a pit stop on the way where we found Oreos, and I've never savored a processed food item more in my life. In Jintan, we once again were greeted with a spinning-table feast and quickly thereafter traveled to practice. Thankfully, Ahearn Field House had prepared me for lack of air conditioning and high humidity that made for a sweat-filled practice.
That's all for now! But I'll be sure to check in again soon!

2012 Grammy Performances
February 15, 2012 by staff
2012 Grammy Performances, Chris Brown accepts award for best R&B album for "F.A.M.E." during the 54th Annual Grammy Awards Sunday in Los Angeles.
If there was one message that was made clear following Sunday's Grammy awards, it was this: Don't make Miranda Lambert mad.
The country sweetheart took to Twitter Monday to give her fans – and the Twitterverse at large – a piece of her mind about one singer's supposed comeback.
"How dang long did they give Nicki Minaj to do whatever that was? Strange. And Chris Brown twice? I don't get it. He beat on a girl," Lambert wrote.
"Not cool that we act like that didn't happen. He needs to listen to Gunpowder and lead and be put back in his place. Not at the Grammys."
"Gunpowder & Lead" is one of Lambert's hits off her 2007 album "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," about a woman who gets ready to shoot and kill her abusive husband as soon as he's released from jail.
Among the lyrics: "He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll, don't that sound like a real man. I'm going to show him what a little girl's made of: gunpowder and lead."
Subtle, Lambert is not.
Brown, 22, was charged with two felonies – for assault and making criminal threats – after beating then-girlfriend Rihanna the night of the 2009 Grammy awards, and has been trying to make a comeback ever since.

The National Trust Heritage Award for Events and Publications in 2017 went to historian Colleen Morris and The Florilegium Society at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney for Florilegium: Sydney's Painted Garden held at the Museum of Sydney in 2016.
"The work of historian Colleen Morris is world class. Painted Garden was a complete triumph in terms of the contemporary botanical artworks it collected and then donated to our permanent collection. The other exciting aspect is that we are now working to put on a significant exhibition of a similar nature at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in 2018."
A post visit survey conducted at the Museum of Sydney demonstrated that "Florilegium: Sydney's painted garden" was highly regarded by visitors.
To my mind, the page devoted to the award provides a benchmark of good practice for all botanical art exhibitions of this type in terms of criteria for assessing content and value.
Those in the UK will be able to see for themselves when the exhibition comes to the Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanical Art at Kew Gardens in 2018.

I have a serious botanical art book addiction. There's nothing nicer than getting stuck into an hour or more of browsing through what's on offer from vintage booksellers with a good collection of botanical art books.
Well nothing nicer than the book you bought turning up and being so much better than you were expecting! There's something about books produced in the past which yells "quality" and if you've got a "very good" or "as new" version then I'm in heaven.
However what's better still is the fact that botanical art book owners tend to be very nice people - and they pass on extras in their books that they don't tell you about until you get them.
Which is how I come to be the owner of some seriously archival class documents about Mary Grierson (1912-2012) (who I currently have listed on the 20th Century Botanical Artists page on the website) when I purchased a copy of her book An English Florilegium
The image at the top of the page is of the exhibition catalogues for three solo exhibitions - which probably each deserve a blog post in their own right!
They are- from left to right:
Of late I've become seriously appreciative of catalogues from exhibitions of botanical art. They tell you so much about the scope and nature of the art but also details of the artist which often never reaches formal publication in a book. For the serious student of botanical art, I'd very much recommend paying serious attention to exhibition catalogues.
You might also like to think about you and your work are recorded in solo exhibitions - for posterity and future collectors!

About Spink
Note: Spink is Spink & Son Ltd who at the time were located at 5 King Street, St James's, London SW1Y 6QS. They are now located at 69 Southampton Row, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 4ET. However, the gallery which sold botanical art closed just after the turn of the millennium.
Think of Botanic Gardens in London - and you think of Kew. However there have also been a number of important botanic and physic gardens in London associated with gardeners, herbalists and horticulturalists, such as John Gerard, Phillip Miller and William Curtis, that have played an important role in relation to the development of botanical art and associated botanical books.
I've been spending the last month or so researching these gardens - and their locations - and references to them on historical maps - and today I'm announcing a new page for my website - Botanic and Physic Gardens of the past in London
Botanic and Physic Gardens of the past in London excludes Kew but does include:
The Gardens of John Gerard
Each section includes a brief history of the garden, a plan of its location where possible, a plan of its layout if available and what's happening at that location today. Plus references to the Botanical Publications and significant related botanical art associated with its originator or that particular garden.
If you're visiting London in the near future you might like to take a look at some of the locations where important gardens related to botanic art were developed in the past.
Today I've created two new pages on my website for in-depth book reviews of two books relevant to those who want to learn more about botany and the botanical illustrator - and highly recommended by me.
Both reviews were written some years ago shortly after the books were published - but the books haven't changed so nor has the value of the book reviews!
However it occurred to me that it would be much more helpful to those wanting to learn about how to draw plants - or develop their skills - if the book reviews were with the rest of the information I've compiled. So today I've moved them from my review blog to this website.
I'll also be moving more in-depth reviews between now and the end of the year.
The two books are as follows (click the links below the image to go to the dedicated page for each book and read the reviews)
Interestingly both books highlight the value of learning through studying the botanical illustrators of the past.
If you'd like to check out some of the best botanical illustrators and artists in history check out my section on Botanical Art History and in particular Past Masters of Botanical Art & Illustration (1500-1900)

Book Review: "The Florilegium: The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney: Celebrating 200 Years"
The botanical paintings included in The Florilegium: The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney: Celebrating 200 Years are by members of The Florilegium Society at the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney Inc. which was formed in 2005
This is very special publication.
The standard of the plant portraits is so high and the text so illuminating that this will make a memorable book and exhibition. I do hope that it will also be exhibited in the Shirley Sherwood Gallery at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 2018
You can find a list of all the artists and links to their websites in my earlier blog post "The Florilegium and the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney". You can also find out more about the plants recorded and the contributing artists in this List of Florilegium paintings and artists
The Society very kindly sent me a copy of the book to review. I was really pleased as I had it on my list of books to order - and this is that review which is a little bit later than I had planned!
It contains
The Florilegium Project
Florilegium Society President Beverley Allen provides an informative overview of the development of contemporary florilegium projects from the heritage of florilegia of the past. She discussses how this project was conceived as giving the Society ten years to produce a body of work to produce a record of the historical plants in time for the 200th anniversary celebrations in 2016, In other words this book has been in the planning pipeline for some considerable time!
She also describes well the demands upon the artist in completing a plant portrait.
The plants are painted life-size, unless noted otherwise on the painting, and most are reproduced at about half painted size. Some show the plant in its entirety, some the flower and fruiting bodies, in others, the focus is that most recognisable and showiest of all structures, the flower, further playing out its biological role in attracting attention.
The Paintings
The first thing to emphasise is that the quality of the paintings is extremely high. This book really sets a standard for Florilegium Societies which will be difficult to match.
The botanical art displayed in this book is definitely at the high end of the spectrum; these are works of incredible accuracy and of undeniable beauty that fully respect the plants they portray,
I like the fact that although many of the paintings fulfil what is required of them in terms of scientific accuracy and information about the plant, they also have a contemporary feel about them. It's good to see people not being constrained by conventional and traditional ideas of what botanical art "should look like". After all, the contemporary styles of today's top botanical artists might well be viewed as a more traditional perspective on botanical art in 100 years time as methods, styles and approaches continue to adapt and refine!
I also particularly like that this Society has sought contributions from excellent artists to achieve the standard of paintings included in the Florilegium. This means that a number of artists come from outside Australia and New Zealand. I'm guessing one of the incentives was to make sure enough artworks were completed before 2016 to ensure that there were enough excellent paintings to include in an exhibition and a book.
The Plants
In terms of the plants included, they are a mix of Australian Natives and plants imported to Australia and grown in the Botanic Garden.
Each plant has a double page spread of a full colour plate with a facing page of authoritative but accessible text providing both a description of the plant and a narrative about its history within the RBG Sydney.
When I first went to Australia (where my sister lives with her family) I was particularly struck by the different plants found "down under". This was reinforced when I paid my own visit to the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney. Recently I was reminded of this again when writing about Marianne North who was told by Charles Darwin that she needed to visit Australia to see and paint the native plants of Australia which she would not have seen elsewhere on her travels across many countries!
I was reminded again of the unique nature of some Australian plants and those that feature prominently as native plants while browsing this book. It's more than a portrait of the plants found in the Botanical Gardens in Sydney - it's also a portrait of Australia's native plant life.
At the same time it's a reflection of the scope and development of the collection at the RBGS over 200 years in terms of plants collected in other countries and introduced to the plant collections in the three gardens of RBGS during the 20th century.
The Book
In terms of the publication itself, it's printed on paper which lends itself to better quality colour reproduction of the images of the plants. However it's also slightly heavier paper which contributes to my only slight quibble about the book.
This is a HEAVY book. It's available both as a hardback and a paperback - and the version I have is a paperback. My preference when buying big heavy books is to buy a hardback - simply because I find they make me confident when handling them. The paperback version makes me feel I need to be careful in the way I handled it when reviewing the plates and the text. However I have a tilt stand for larger books and it was fine on that.
All in all, this is very definitely a book for any serious student of Florilegia and/or botanical art and/or a fan of the Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney.
How to get a copy of "The Florilegium"
The book is being sold by: The Garden Shop at the RBGS, Florilegium and Summerfield Books to online purchasers.

Botanical Art Books at Christmas
How do you make sure that you get the right botanical art books for Christmas?
I learned a long time ago that there's really only one way to make sure you get the right books as Christmas presents - order them yourself!
So - given we're a "no surprises, only give what gives you joy" sort of present-giving couple, these are some of the botanical art books which my best beloved has got me for Christmas - which arrived yesterday.
The way it works is like this:
Between now and Christmas, I'll be doing some reviews of botanical art books that I've already got which I'd recommend as Christmas presents or as books to spend your Christmas cash/vouchers on in the New Year.
In-depth book reviews of the above will have to wait for the New Year - but please feel free to leave your own comments on this blog if you've already got them!
In the meantime, you can find more botanical art books on my website at:
Brigid Edwards has a new exhibition of her botanical art on vellum at Thomas Gibson Fine Art Gallery 39 St James Street, London Sw1A 1JD - until 16th December 2016.
This post is about the exhibition and her past works on vellum in terms of biography, working practice, exhibitions and a bibliography of where you can see her work published.
Exhibition: Brigid Edwards New Works on Vellum
You can see the 'new paintings' in the exhibition on her website - click each work to see a larger version (see above - http://brigidedwards.co.uk/2016.html ). All were painted in 2015 or 2016.
What I very much like about her work is her ability to select and represent a plant and then shows you aspects of the plant you've never noticed before. In addition, she has a particular talent for making the very simple very beautiful. She conveys both strength and delicacy equally well. It's something to do with the angle she chooses and the way in which she is very selective in what she chooses to paint and what features of a p[ant she chooses to portray. She obviously feels no need to paint 'the all singing and dancing' version! I've seen many of her subjects painted by other botanical artists however I'd venture to suggest that I'd always be able to tell which one was painted by Brigid Edwards!
She's had three previous exhibitions at the Thomas Gibson Gallery - in 1995, 1997, 2000 and 2005. It's a gallery which sells work by a very fine roster of fine artists. She has also shown previously at the Smithsonian. the Hunt Institute of Botanical Documentatio and at many other locations around the world.
Below is a map showing where the gallery is located in London. The nearest tube station is Green Park.

Editor's Note: We're sharing holiday recipes this week. Here's Lynda Loveland's chocolate cake recipe, Renee Chou's apple walnut cake and more in on our Holiday Recipe page.
For me, pecans are always synonymous with the holidays.
And, of course any time you have them, you're also likely to have that age-old discussion about how you *really* say pecan! I live in a house-divided: I say pick-KAHN. Mike says pee-CAN.
This isn't an old family recipe, rather one a friend passed along to me a few years back. It's a good one ... and the thing I like most about it: It's quick and easy!
Spiced Pecans
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
3/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (I usually add a bit more!)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups pecans
Preheat oven to 350
Mix ingredients then add 4 teaspoons of water and mix.
Place nuts in single layer on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet
Bake 10-12 minutes

Ownership of Melbourne's largest proposed public precinct, Federation Square East, is set to be handed over to a developer free-of-charge if the Napthine government wins re-election.
The Sunday Age can reveal the state government is planning to give the coveted site on the edge of the Yarra River to the company that wins the contract to fund and build the $1.5 billion precinct.
Minister for major projects David Hodgett has defended the government's development model, saying it will deliver the benefits of the project "at no cost to the taxpayer".
But Victorians could still find themselves footing some of the bill for the proposed civic hub becoming private property after the Napthine government acknowledged it may be necessary to partially pay for Federation Square East with public money.
It appears to be one of the most commercially favourable development agreements ever proposed for public property, defying a tradition in which the Victorian government has retained an ownership stake in major projects like Federation Square, CityLink and Crown Casino.
Planning experts and city politicians expressed reservations about the ownership proposal, which was not publicly aired at the official launch of the project last month.
Alan March, associate professor of urban planning at Melbourne University, said handing over ownership of a project of such public significance to the private sector was "highly problematic".
In September, the government began soliciting formal design proposals for Federation Square East with the release of an "expression of interest" document detailing its broad vision for the site, which should involve a mix of cultural, civic, residential and commercial uses.
"Federation Square East can become a new jewel in Melbourne's crown," State Development Minister Peter Ryan announced. "The possibilities for this site are limited only by the imagination."
The project needed to "contribute a significant improvement to the existing public realm" while "balancing financial returns with public outcomes", the government said.
But in a rare departure from other major civic-minded projects, the EOI states the developer who wins the contract will own – freehold – all of the land, buildings, roads and public spaces that are created at Federation Square East.
Building on the 3.3 hectare site, which stretches from Federation Square to Birrarung Marr, first requires "decking over" the 2.3 hectare Jolimont rail yard while it is in constant use by freight, Metro and V-Line trains. The government would also surrender the Federation Square carpark and a block of land amounting to 1 hectare, but retain ownership of the land used to run and service the train lines underneath the decking.
The Sunday Age understands the decision to turn over the freehold rights to the project was made after resistance from developers about participating in a traditional joint venture agreement that would be based on a long-term leasing arrangement over the public land.
Sources say developers are concerned about assuming the massive costs and risks associated with a project they would not ultimately own outright. It is estimated that decking the rail yard will cost $350 million alone.
The project is also supposed to be completed without any public funding, although the government has conceded it may consider a request for assistance as part of a "subsequent budget process".
Minister Hodgett said the conditions in the EOI document had been explained to the media and public. "The government has been clear that we want to achieve the best outcome with no cost to the public.
"Government is seeking to harness the creativity of the market and seeks outcomes from the project rather than adherence to prescriptive requirements. Naturally, the public access and civic outcomes of the proposals will inform part of the government's final decision."
Creating Federation Square East has been a dream of successive Labor and Liberal state governments but several mooted plans have never eventuated.
The proposal as described in the Napthine government's EOI has been attracting positive reactions from developers who are preparing bids for the project.
One interested party told The Sunday Age that the freehold ownership structure was "very attractive" and there was now a good chance the project could get off the ground.
But Professor March said he did not understand how Federation Square East could "achieve the kinds of goals that I understood it was supposed to have if it not were in some way maintained under government ownership. It seems as if it's just another project oriented towards a short-term private sector goal," he said.
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, who has previously been an advocate of creating more public space and a vocal critic of over-development, declined to comment about the proposal.
But Greens councillor Rohan Leppert described the proposal as "a dangerous new step for the way public lands are being treated".
"Government shouldn't be in the business of handing over the ownership of such an important potential public space to the private sector," he said.
The Napthine plan has also left open the possibility that Federation Square East could be dominated by one of the city's tallest skyscrapers after the government chose not to impose height restrictions on the site.
The Labor Party declined to comment.

Dear Sir..
need so more help related to the same field.
i am basically working on mimo system.. initially i started with the matrix format, and it was working just fine, now i'm trying to use the built function of the matlab,
ie mimochan and equalize ... a part of the program is like this ...
after data generation as "tbit"
%--------------- Alamouti STBC ---------------------------------
acode = zeros(2,N*nSym);
acode(:,1:2:end) = (1/sqrt(2))*reshape(tbit,2,N*nSym/2); % [x1 x2 ...]
acode(:,2:2:end) = (1/sqrt(2))*(kron(ones(1,N*nSym/2),[-1;1]).*flipud(reshape(conj(tbit),2,N*nSym/2))); % [-x2* x1* ....]
i go for mimo channel...
chan = mimochan(nt, nr, 1/bitrate, fd(n));
% chan.StoreHistory=1;
now my question is, when i was matrix for u used the same channel at the receiver to estimate the channel, as an equalizer. (for nt=2,nr=2)
here in this case how do i equalize the channel..
i tried to equalize using "mlseeq" with chanCoeff i get from channel properties. but i got horrible response. actually i am missing some basc part here...
would you please clear it for me.. that how do reconstruct the original signal now. ?
thanks again...

Youth Recognition Form
We are adding pages to the GSD Review to recognize significant GSD accomplishments for young people 17 years old or younger. This form will give proper authorization.
Junior Handling Classes
Junior competition has three classes divided by age: Junior (ages 9-11), Intermediate (ages 12-14), and Senior (ages 15-18). Competition for a Best Junior Handler is between the winner of each age group and the Junior/Senior class.
Did you Know?
The Junior program is based on a year-long accumulative point system with the winner receiving the Robert Hamilton Award Trophy at the National. In addition, a GPA Scholastic Award (a $100 savings certificate) is available to the Junior with the highest GPA submitting points.
|GSDCA Junior Program
The GSDCA Juniors Program was designed to stimulate interest, encourage participation, and support young handlers of German Shepherd Dogs.
Juniors are judged on their ability to present (handle) their dogs the same as those who compete in the breed ring. AKC recommends the loose leash temperament test be part of a judge's evaluation of any junior handling a German Shepherd at either a specialty or All-Bred Show.
Although the GSDCA has programs to recognize the success of it's Juniors, it believes that Juniors are motivated not by prizes but by the opportunity to exhibit in the sport, to learn and develop as handlers, and to met and enjoy new friends as they prepare for the future of the sport of dogs.
The GSDCA wants to encourage, teach, and support Junior handlers of German Shepherd Dogs as an important part of the future of this breed.

Anyone who owns a GMC knows that when it comes to repairing their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do. While it's not hard to find replacement parts for GMC vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted parts to repair your G25. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles currently being driven today.
The longevity of our engines depends on how well they are cared for and lubricated. For over 100 years, engine oil has been that lubricant... and it is kept in your GMC G25 oil pan. The oil pan is the lowest part of the crankcase, where all the oil collects; so it is sometimes called a sump. Since your oil pan is so vulnerable to the open road below it, it can be easily damaged by rogue debris or rocks. Be mindful of rust accumulating under your GMC G25, as oil pans have a tendency to corrode if left unattended.
Don't let a broken Oil Pan bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best replacement parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. When your GMC needs the best replacement Oil Pan, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. If your car or truck was built in 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, then you will find the correct GMC G25 Oil Pan parts right here.

text: Since our consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts are nonrecourse, we have netted trust assets and liabilities to present the Company's interest in these trusts more simply, which are considered our residual interests in securitizations. For unconsolidated securitizations our residual interests represent the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale. For consolidated securitizations, our residual interests are represented by the fair value of securitized mortgage collateral and real estate owned, offset by the fair value of securitized mortgage borrowings and net derivative liabilities. We receive cash flows from our residual interests in securitizations to the extent they are available after required distributions to bondholders and maintaining overcollateralization levels within the trusts. The estimated fair value of the residual interests, represented by the difference in the fair value of trust assets and trust liabilities, was $27.9 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $23.0 million at December 31, 2009.At September 30, 2010, our note payable decreased $22.9 million from December 31, 2009, as a result of monthly payments totaling $13.5 million comprising of principal and interest.

Forward-looking statements, some of which are based on various assumptions and events that are beyond our control, may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "believe," "expect," "likely," "should," "could," "seem to," "anticipate," or similar terms or variations on those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations.

Democratic sources say President-elect Barack Obama will name former University President Lawrence H. Summers director of the National Economic Council essentially the presidents senior economic adviser according to news reports this weekend.
Once a top contender to be Obamas Treasury secretary, Summers, who led the Treasury under President Clinton from 1999 to 2001, will be advising the president on both domestic and foreign economic policy. He will likely be working closely with Obamas nominee for Treasury secretary, Federal Bank of New York President Timothy F. Geithner, who reportedly maintains an excellent relationship with Summers.
The position is considered to be a stepping stone to the Federal Reserve chairmanship, which is currently held by Ben S. Bernanke 75.
Richard Zeckhauser, Summers close friend and colleague at the Harvard Kennedy School, said that when Bernankes term expires in 2010, Obama will likely name Summers to take his place. Id be surprised if he werent seriously considered for it, Zeckhauser said, adding that Summers could also end up in a senior position at the World Bank, where he served as chief economist in the early 1990s.
The selection has created little stir among the liberal groups that had expressed strong opposition to Summers possible appointment as Treasury secretary. The National Organization for Women and other womens groups, for example, had issued sharply-worded statements of protest earlier this month, harking back to Summers turbulent tenure as Harvards president.
Ive heard nothing negative that doesnt mean that people havent said negative things, Zeckhauser said. But public discussion has been overwhelmingly positive and that sort of suggests that the nation is in a difficult situation and we need the best person we can get.

PNC Inc. recently made another investment in its pursuit to be as energy efficient as possible: the GA 75 VSD FF, 100 HP compressor. This machine is efficient in that not only is it able to manage its own workflow, but in the fact that it will pay for itself in about five years through savings in electricity ($25,000 per year). These savings will, of course, be passed on to PNC's customers. This purchase stands as yet another testament to their commitment to the make-in-USA philosophy to bolster quality while still doing their best to keep costs down for customers—further incentivizing those people to buy products made here as opposed to overseas.
The VSD (Variable Speed Drive) system this particular compressor utilizes is able to be more energy efficient by controlling the voltage and current to alter the speed and torque of the DC motor, In the event that the facility requires more flow, it will be automatically assisted by (2) 30 HP compressors. As a result, a VSD can give the same power output previously generated while reducing power usage. This differs from a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) in a few subtle but important ways. The most important of these is VFD can only be used on AC motors, making it less versatile than a VSD system.
Another efficiency-related aspect of this compressor is that it essentially replaced five machines and consolidates all of their tasks into one saving space, maintenance time and cost. Said PNC Inc. President Sam Sangani, "We're very proud to be on the cutting of our industry not only with the products we manufacture but also with the technology we employ in the process."
About PNC Inc.
PNC Inc. has also made numerous other purchased geared toward energy and resource conservation. These include the selective wave solder and aqueous cleaner in their state of the art assembly department—both of which are specifically engineered to use only the resources necessary and keep wastage to a minimum. In addition, there have also been small additions made throughout their facilities such as LCD displays to further monitor and minimize energy consumption.
