Two Restaurants in Grand Junction, Colorado that Foodies Can't Miss
Let's face it, many people who grew up on Colorado's Front Range tend to think of Grand Junction as that far away cowtown town that's practically in Utah. Of course, that reputation has slowly been changing thanks in part to the growing popularity of and interest in local food.
Colorado's western slope is a place where local food has been a way of life long before it became trendy. It doesn't hurt that food grows relatively easily here when compared to other parts of Colorado, so sourcing locally is a little less complicated for chefs.
On our trip earlier this summer, we had the delicious pleasure of dining at two of Grand Junction's most foodie restaurants. These two eateries, 626 on Rood and Bin 707 Foodbar, have set the bar high for farm-to-table cuisine (and for cuisine in general).
Our first dinner stop was Bin 707 Foodbar. On a 2013 trip to Grand Junction Bin 707 Foodbar was my first encounter with a restaurant that worked so hard to serve local foods and that experience blew my mind. My second local food experience was at The Living Farm in Paonia, another amazing spot for anyone seeking a local food experience.
Bin 707 Foodbar may have foodie cuisine, but it is far from pretentious. Here, it's truly about the food and asking your waiter to suggest a wine pairing is super smart as they serve a nice selection of local wines. Of course, Ryan ordered a beer (the beer list is high end and it took him an age to decide on one).
I paired a Colterris rosé with several appetizers including an outstanding tomato salad with Blaine's heirloom tomatoes, cucumber vin, eggplant miso flan and strawberry/barley furikake. For my entree, I chose the Maple Leaf duck breast and Ryan went with the fish.
While the duck and fish aren't sourced locally, all the accouterments are and it's these hyperlocal ingredients that made both dishes what I like to call "write-home-about-good." (I call a dish "write-home-about-good" when I know I will write about it more than once).
The next evening we got to experience 626 on Rood, a modern American restaurant and wine bar that just so happens to be the favorite of our friends, Matt and Lisa, who live in Palisade. They are regulars at this downtown Grand Junction restaurant.
626 on Rood definitely has a fine dining ambiance and serves up local cuisine alongside some of the best offerings from around the world such as the dish I had for dinner — Marlin flown in from Hawaii paired with tender mushrooms from Alpenglow Mushrooms in Ridgway, Colorado — an unforgettable meal.
Wine is a big deal here. Guests can enjoy regional Colorado wines, French varieties or California gems. The selection is always changing so start by consulting your server. The wait staff at 626 on Rood are incredibly knowledgeable and love helping guests pick the perfect glass, bottle or flight. I started with a Bordeaux flight while Ryan excitedly ordered a Mezcal flight (he's more of a beer and tequila guy).
While they won't always have marlin, the Sticky Peach Habanero Calamari is a staple on this menu and not-to-be-missed. I'm craving it right now.
A foodie update from Grand Junction: The owners of Bin 707 Foodbar recently opened Taco Party, a 50-seat restaurant serving a menu of six kinds of tacos with local fillings. Dessert options include soft-serve ice cream in uniquely Bin 707 Foodbar flavors of roasted beet and sweet corn. Next up, they plan to open Dinner Party, a private dining space that will be used for the Western Slope Supper Club which serves pop-up dinners highlighting local foods.
Thank you to the Grand Junction VCB for hosting us on this trip. While we did receive comped meals during our travels the opinions here are 100% honest. The food at these GJ restaurants is exceptional.
Dogs, Sheep & Meat Pie at the Meeker Sheepdog Trials
If you think sheepdog trials involve dogs chasing sheep around, you'd be a little right, but not entirely right. Sheepdog trials are much more involved than I ever realized and our weekend trip to Meeker, in Northwest Colorado, was an eye opening experience. I liked it so much that I'm hoping to sponsor a dog/handler team in 2018.
When I set out on this trip, I didn't really intend to write specifically about the sheepdog trials, after all, I was there to judge and help promote the Jammin' Lamb Festival, a lamb cook off in downtown. However, after watching the competition, I really wanted to write about it.
So what are sheepdog trials? In a nutshell, it's a competitive sport in which herding dogs, under the command of their handler, move sheep around a large field, through fences and gates and into enclosures. The sport is mimicking the work that many of these dogs do at home on the ranch, although some of these dogs spend most of their time competing.
For a complete history of dog trails, go here.
The trials in Meeker have been occurring for 31 years, and this is a serious business with $22,500 in prize money at stake this year. The organizers hosted 130 dog/handler teams in Meeker this year and, as always, the public is welcomed to attend.
This five-day event features three days of preliminaries with a semifinal on Saturday and a final on Sunday. In addition to the trials, which start at 7 am and go all day with a break for lunch, there are lots of other things on the agenda too.
We arrived on Saturday to a sea of tents and were greeted by the smell of fair food, one of my favorite scents. For lunch, we ended up wolfing down delicious meat pies from an Aspen pastry vendor, but we could have picked from a variety of delicious foodstuff including barbequed ribs or Navajo tacos.
We made our way to a bleacher seat where we sat, alongside a couple of handlers and their dogs, and watched several teams run the course. As an aside, I loved watching the handlers interact with their dogs off the field of competition. There's a lot of love in these partnerships.
The more we watched over the course of the day, the more we grasped the nuances of the sport. Each dog and handler seem to have a little different style; for instance, some handlers talk to their dogs a lot, while others only communicate via the whistle, and even the dogs have differing styles. During a Lie Down command some dogs actually lie down in the grass, becoming just a pair of ears above the green, but other dogs simply stop in their tracks and resemble a border collie statue with a pink, lollygagging tongue.
It's no secret that I'm a dog person. I grew up with German Shepherds and currently own a 14 ½-year-old spoiled female GSD. I am a huge fan of working breeds because I love their intelligence. I've always admired border collies and would love to own one when I have enough property to let them run.
I wrote the preceding paragraph to explain that while the sheepdog trials are interesting, I think that dog people may find them more entertaining than non-dog people.
In addition to the competition, there's other stuff on the Meeker Sheepdog Trial agenda. As I've already mentioned, there's a good number of food vendors selling a variety of different menu items. There's also a big tent where local artisans sell their wares; everything from saddles to handmade jewelry and soap.
The education tent features events like the Blanco Cellars & Little Cheese Shop from Meeker serving up free sheep cheese and many demonstrations and presentations themed around the event (think sniffer dogs and vet presentations).
If you love border collies, this is the place to come. Not only was their sheep and border collie art all over the stores in downtown Meeker, but the Sheepdog Trials features an array of vendors selling border collie merchandise including t-shirts, blankets and everything in between.
If you've got kids, bring them. There's a petting zoo, and this year, they had Fly Ball demonstrations that were a hoot. Your little ones may not last all day, but I know I would have been fascinated with the Meeker Sheepdog Trials as a kid, especially as a kid that loved animals.
Once you start watching the trials, I mean, really watching, it's addictive. You start rooting for the handlers and their dogs and sometimes it gets downright tense. We hadn't planned to return on Sunday because we needed to get home to our old dog, but we did end up returning to the event grounds to catch one of the runs on the final day of competition. This is when the top 12 compete and the dogs have to herd 20 sheep instead of five. The final day's course is also a bit different from the first four days.
We enjoyed the competition, the beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, the echoes of the bagpipe, the smell of fair food and fresh grass and the speed of Meeker. Time moves just a little slower here and people are just a little friendlier. The Meeker Sheepdog Trials are a great excuse to visit this little throwback town where the sheep and kids still roam free.
The Meeker Sheepdog Trials are held annually in September in Meeker, Colorado, about 3 ½ hours west of Denver. If you want to go, plan ahead because lodging in the town fills up well in advance of the event. Go to MeekerSheepdog.com to start planning your visit.
Featured Festival: Mountain Harvest Festival 2017, Paonia, Colorado
There's a little spot on Colorado's Western Slope that's home to flocks of sheep, fields of vegetables and orchards of fruit. Things move a little slower here and that's just the way the people of the North Fork Valley like it. There are no freeways and very few stop lights; it's a bit like going back in time, but better.
Mountain Harvest Festival is a celebration of the bounty of Paonia and the North Fork Valley, and you're invited to participate in this annual event that's a little earthy, kinda quirky, a bit country and entirely authentic.
This is a four-day festival that kicks off with food, which makes sense. There are Harvest to Table Dinners at Remedy and the Living Farm Cafe on Thursday night. These dinners feature locally grown, chemical and additive free food.
This festival is hosting a lot of local talent including writers, artists and musicians, and Thursday night is no exception. Harvest of Voices showcases both rising stars and award-winning writers reading from their works.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Mountain Harvest Festival are chockablock with events; I won't name them all here, but I do want to highlight Saturday Sundown Swing, a ticketed event that features five venues and nine bands. From acoustic to rock, there's a little something for everyone on tap. Buy an all access ticket (or entry to just one venue) here.
In addition to loads of music, this festival has a farmers' market, grape stomp, kids area, a Wine Makers Dinner, a chili cookoff, hula hoop contest, local brews, ciders and wines, farm tours and more.
I'd highly recommend renting a bike from Cirque Cyclery in downtown Paonia and participating in Saturday's Farm & Wine Tours. We had a blast exploring the area's farms by bike during our 2016 visit (read about it here).

I am delighted to be attending the festival this year, because, despite the fact that I try not to play favorites, the North Fork Valley is one of my favorite spots in Colorado. I hope to see you there!

Featured Festival: Loveland Oktoberfest 2017
Call me an Oktoberfest snob, but I believe it takes more than beer and pretzels to make a great Oktoberfest. This year, Loveland Oktoberfest, held at Grimm Brothers Brewhouse, has many of the right ingredients to be called the best Oktoberfest in Northern Colorado.
Of course, it's about the bier
First of all, Oktoberfest is about good beer and Loveland's festival will feature six of the city's award winning breweries, and for fun, they've invited Wibby from down the road in Longmont. In addition to Grimm and Wibby, breweries in attendance are Verboten, Loveland Aleworks, Crow Hop, Big Beaver, Buckhorn Brewers and Big Thompson.
New this year is the Baron Berliner Bar, which will feature Grimm's traditional Berlinerweisse called The Baron, with multiple flavored syrups available for festival goers to create their own Berliner experience.
It's about the music
Second of all, Oktoberfest is about German music. I am super excited that this year, not only will Loveland Oktoberfest feature two authentic polka bands, Neue Polka Colorado and Polka Folka, but also DJ KAAOS.
Just like at Oktoberfest at Munich, DJ KAAOS will spin all sorts of German music including Die Fantastischen Vier, Rammstein, Jurgen Birlinger and much more. This is one of the most unique things happening at Loveland Oktoberfest and I can't wait.
It's about the food
This year's Loveland Oktoberfest will feature pretzels from Styria Bakery (these are the real deal, folks), pastries from Sweet European Treats (Mayor approved) and the Colorado Candy Company is making something special just for the fest. In addition, authentic German cuisine will be catered for the event. No one will go hungry at Loveland Oktoberfest.
It's about the games & ambiance
Come in your best German garb and participate in the Best Dressed Costume contest on Saturday at 2 p.m. Other contests will be held during the fest including a Stein Hoisting event and a Hammerschlagen tournament to benefit Kiwanis (the champion wins free beer for a year).
Several local university German Clubs will be on hand to help you practice a little Deutsch, the official language of Germany and Austria, and one of the three official languages of Switzerland.
Party like a barbarian on Thursday
The kick off to Loveland Oktoberfest is the Barbarian Dinner on Thursday, September 14. This is like no other beer dinner you've ever attended (I guarantee). While Loveland Oktoberfest is free to attend, Barbarian Dinner is a ticketed event. Learn more & purchase tickets here.
Loveland Oktoberfest is 100% family-friendly. There will be activities for the bigs and littles, so grab grandma and the kiddos and make your way to Loveland, Colorado this September.

A Weekend Itinerary for Longmont, Colorado
I like to keep things real here on HeidiTown and so I will start this blog post by telling you a personal story about Longmont. When Ryan and I decided to move out of Denver in the early 2000s, we looked into Longmont and decided it was a big nope. There just wasn't much going on in the town.
Fast forward to today and I think we may have made the wrong decision.
Longmont has blossomed into a beautiful and vibrant community. Downtown's renovated sidewalks and artful alleyways make it a welcoming place. There's always a festival or live music happening somewhere in town, and places like the Prospect neighborhood are cute little escapes with their own special vibe. There's also a plethora of breweries, a cidery and several distilleries.

Featured Festival: ArtoCade 2017, Sept. 8-10
Creative, ingenious, colorful, crafty, artistic and kooky are all words I would use to describe ArtoCade in Trinidad, Colorado. Squish all those words together and you've got one very entertaining festival in a truly fantastic town.
We were lucky enough to make it to ArtoCade last September, and since then, I've written about our Trinidad experience a number of times including "Trinidad, Colorado, It's Not What You Think," which has garnered quite a few comments over the months.
Trinidad is a town undergoing a renaissance and that is bound to stir up emotional responses. From my viewpoint, the climate on the streets of Trinidad is generally positive; I get a sense that the city is moving in a good direction and ArtoCade is part of that.
So What is ArtoCade?
This festival is one part car event, one part art event, and entirely nuts. There's a reason it won the Governor's Award for Best Small Town Festival in 2016.
The highlight of the event is the parade on Saturday. Last year, more than 80 art cars rolled down Trinidad's main street and the crowds were thoroughly entertained. With art cars with names like ChewBaru and Stink Bug, you can probably figure out why. See photos from last year's parade here.
More than 100 art cars have signed up for the parade this year including 35 first-timers.
The Lowdown on ArtoCade
ArtoCade kicks off on Friday evening with a Vehiculart, a downtown art exhibit like you've never seen before, followed by CarBash at BRIX Sports Bar & Grill.
After the parade on Saturday, the art cars park downtown so that festival goers can get up close and personal with them and their owners. There are food stands and other vendors too – it's a real, colorful street party. If you decided to show up here dressed as a Star Wars character or a big furry rabbit, no one would blink an eye. Weird is encouraged on ArtoCade weekend.
Saturday night's event is CarDango, which ArtoCade organizers describe as "part revue, part costume gala, part dance and part circus." We attended last year and that's a fairly accurate description Our favorite part was the samba dancer. While most of ArtoCade is free, CarDango is a ticketed event and it is taking place this year at the brand new Bizarre Car Garage in Trinidad.
Awards are presented at CarDango and a fantastic time is had by all. Even if you don't know anyone, CarDango is a welcoming affair, but leave the kids at home — this party is just for the grown-ups.
Sunday morning there's a cartist send off breakfast held at the Trinidad History Museum, which, by the way, you should tour when you're in town. Everyone is invited to attend this breakfast which is a good example of how this is an inclusive, not exclusive event. I can tell you from personal experience that the cartists are a really great group of fun people.
So Why Go to ArtoCade?
Without a doubt, ArtoCade was the most memorable event we attended last year, and we attended a lot of events. It's worth the drive to Trinidad.

Take Road G to Wine Paradise in Mesa Verde Country
There's a road in Southwest Colorado where the rocks take the shape of sculptures, where canyons are speckled by twisted green trees and low-lying mesas are camouflaged by vineyards. In addition to being home to thousands of ancient archeology sites, this is grape growing country.
Located in the western part of Mesa Verde Country, close to the border of Utah, Road G runs from Cortez to Hovenweep, and there are lots of reasons to drive down this winding county road.
Of course, Hovenweep National Monument should be on your agenda when you visit Mesa Verde Country, but taking it slow on your way there is my recommendation and here's why. Continue reading
Shooting All the Flowers at Denver Botanic Gardens
I admit that I have a small addiction to shooting flowers, as well as birds, landscapes, and animals at the zoo, but flowers are my favorite thing to shoot.
There's no better place to shoot flowers than at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The person who accompanies me to the gardens, usually Ryan, ends up doing a lot of standing around, however, I'd argue that there are a lot worse placed in which to stand around than at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Last week, as you probably know if you read my last blog post, my mom was in town from Oregon. She is likely the reason that I love flowers so much, but she prefers planting and painting them as opposed to shooting them. Continue reading
A Spa Getaway with Mom at The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa
I'm not a girlie girl. I can count on one hand the number of manicures I've gotten over the course of my 40-year-life, however, I'm no stranger to spa life. I adore the aroma, the hot tea, the cozy robes, the steam room and sauna… did I mention the aroma?
When I told my mom that I needed a distraction during eye surgery recovery, she jumped on a plane and flew from Oregon to Colorado. During her visit, I decided to treat her to an overnight stay and spa getaway at The Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa at Beaver Creek Mountain. As a late birthday present for my mom, I booked treatments for us at Spa Anjali.
The Westin Riverfront property is located in Avon, just a few minutes west of Vail, at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain. It's a ski-in/ski-out property, but it's also popular with summertime guests who enjoy all the recreational activities offered in the area and the outdoor pool area which made The Heidi Guide's "4 Mountain Resort Pools to Help You Beat the Heat" on MountainLiving.com.

A Jolly Trolley Ride in Cheyenne, Wyoming: History, Hauntings & Hilarity
It's been interesting to watch my first article about Cheyenne, "So You Think You Know Cheyenne, Wyoming?" circulate the interwebs. Some of the comments are a reminder of how many of us tend to become jaded about our own hometowns. Whether you agree with me or not about Cheyenne, I think the city is swell and has a lot to offer visitors.
One of Cheyenne's major assets is its colorful past. When you get to town, just look up at the amazing architecture in downtown. The buildings here are a reminder of the city's rich history; and it's a history that should be celebrated.
Nowhere is this history more celebrated than on the Cheyenne Street Railway Trolley Tours. Ryan and I hopped this 90-minute trolley tour during our visit. Lucky for us, our conductor, Brenda Badgley, grew up in Cheyenne, and so in addition to all the historical facts, she gave us personal tidbits about growing up in the town in the 60s.

While capturing our client's dreams — and making an artistic contribution to the built environment — we also know our structures must function well ergonomically, and fit the site. These performance goals inform our mission to fully understand a client's design program via intensive, iterative, conceptual design, and their building site via multiple, pre-design, visits.
Connecting interior spaces to the site and natural light is vital to our work. Thoughtful site analysis — and solar studies — kick off every project. We employ generous, strategic, glazing to blur the distinction between in and out and to provide effective cross ventilation. Even at the smallest sites, opportunities exist to capture natural light, a focused view, and fresh air. Our designs work throughout the seasons, providing passive heating and cooling as required.
Encouraging the use of sustainable building materials, and green building practices, are company trademarks. Building green is building smart, and we encourage our clients to embrace the benefits of living well with the least ecological impact. With both LEED (platinum) and Living Building Challenge (full certification) experience, our studio remains at the vanguard of deep green design.
We have extensive, hands on, construction knowledge, and take the time to work through planning, site and structural solutions early in the design phase. The best architectural documents not only illustrate our client's design goals, but also clearly convey to the builder the how and why of each step along the way. Client's willing, we encourage the General and/or Trade Contractors to offer their construction methodology and materials expertise during the design process. This team approach minimizes field questions and/or confusion, and supports an on-budget, and on-time, construction phase. Precise and demanding in our work, we provide our clients a premium, engaging, design experience, and top shelf architectural documents.
We limit the carbon footprint of our design studio, and our client's buildings. Less is more when it comes to energy consumption, and our body of work contains many examples of successfully employing passive and active solar design principles. 21 Years ago, we were awarded Outstanding Environmentally Sensitive Residence for one of our earliest design programs. This year, we received international recognition as the architectural + interior design team for Desert Rain, the world's first, residential, Living Certified Building.
The majority of our design studio power is generated by solar photovoltaic panels. We offer staff incentives to commute on foot or by bike. Materials such as bamboo flooring, wheatboard trim, no V.O.C. paints and formaldehyde-free insulation contributed to our office remodel. Outside a xeriscape boulder garden greets our clients, and inside we generate more recycling material than waste.
It is standard practice to refer our clients to companies sourcing, producing and/or promoting sustainable building materials, practices and native landscape design. Local companies such as Miller Lumber, Heart Springs Landscape Design, WinterCreek Restoration, and Brilliant all support our deep green architectural and interior design work. Working as a team with owners, builders, and suppliers, we shall continue reducing our work's impact on the biosphere.
Quality, not quantity, is a guiding principle at Tozer Design. Using a disciplined, artistic eye and more than 50 years of cumulative design experience, we strive to create spaces of the highest caliber that live well beyond their square footage. Long views, natural light, a disciplined palette, appropriate glazing, intuitive traffic patterns, outdoor rooms, and multiple-use spaces all contribute to living large, in less.
We believe the best spaces can be found using an ergonomic approach to living and human-scale solutions. Gymnasium-scale great rooms are great for, well..., gym, but not for a secure sense of shelter. Our spaces are well sized, not over-sized, and inspire via their thoughtful, high-quality, fit and finish.
Treating space and light as sacred, our goal is better living through better design. We highly recommend Patterns of Home and Sarah Susanka's The Not So Big House as primers on design philosophy vital to our firm.

Iwi Treaty dispute aired in High Court
An iwi group that has already settled its Treaty claim in the Wellington area says it should have been consulted over the terms of a rival iwi's upcoming settlement.
The competing claims of Taranaki Whanui and Ngati Toa have been before the High Court at Wellington this week.
Ngati Toa hopes to sign off its agreement with the Crown in early December. Its lawyer, Bridget Ross, said in court yesterday that it was 23 years since Ngati Toa registered its claim with the Waitangi Tribunal and seven years since it began negotiating a settlement with the Crown.
Taranaki Whanui, a grouping of Taranaki-based tribes who were established in the Wellington area at the time the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, settled their claim in 2009 under the name of the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust.
The grouping says it has a better claim than Ngati Toa to some forms of cultural, as opposed to commercial, redress, including the 2.5-hectare Taputeranga Island at Island Bay.
It says it was told it could not have the island because it was in the hands of Wellington City Council, only to find out later that it was included in the Ngati Toa settlement deal.
"It is cultural redress of the very kind that Taranaki Whanui sought and was denied," lawyer Phillip Green said.
Both groups say they have a legitimate historical claim to the island.
Taranaki Whanui took the Crown to court to argue that it should have been consulted about the Ngati Toa settlement. Ngati Toa was joined as a party to the case at its request, and Miss Ross said it was a rare thing for Ngati Toa to find itself on the same side as the Crown.
The Crown's lawyer, Paul Radich, said the Crown had to reserve itself the ability to settle overlapping claims and, in any event, it had consulted Taranaki Whanui about the Ngati Toa settlement.
The Taranaki Whanui settlement did not include an exclusive claim to areas in which it had a dominant interest in 1840, Mr Radich said.
Justice Joe Williams, a former chairman of the Waitangi Tribunal, said he would try to decide the case by the end of next week.
He heard argument that included what expectations Taranaki Whanui could legitimately have to be consulted about Ngati Toa's later settlement, and who would be most prejudiced if he made orders that Taranaki Whanui should be consulted.

Experts to assess port damage from runaway barge
North Queensland Bulk Ports (NQBP) says engineering inspections have been done at the Port of Hay Point after a barge broke its mooring in last week's bad weather.
Simon Eldridge from NQBP says the boat was being used as part of the Hay Point expansion project, south of Mackay, and hit part of the terminal before washing up at Bakers Creek.
He says the damage is being assessed but he does not believe it is significant.
"We don't believe that there's been overly significant damage, however, some has been sustained," he said.
"There was a barge that broke away. That has not caused any problem from a shipping perspective but did cause some damage to the wharf and the berths."
The operator of the Dalrymple Bay terminal says the damage is only superficial.
NQBP says it expects shipping operations at the Port of Mackay to resume shortly.
The port was closed last week in the lead-up to Cyclone Dylan but restrictions remain on ships more than 50 metres in length while surveys of the port and shipping channels are done.
Mr Eldridge says the checks should be completed later today.
"Once that's undertaken and we've got a clearer picture of the clearances at the berth and the swing basin and the shipping channel, our priority will then be to try and get some fuel tankers in because Mackay hasn't had a shipment of fuel received in a week and so clearly that's a major priority for us," he said.
Maritime Safety Queensland says surveying of channels and berth pockets after a major storm is a standard safety measure.

Hellooo lovely people, hope your week is going well. So today, I would give you tips on how to save money.
- Plan out your spending: know what you spend most money on set your priorities so you don't waste money on unnecessary things.
- Make your own gifts: Diying things will save you a ton of money because you can spend as little as £5 in making it instead of spending £30 in purchasing it and the person you give will appreciate it because you put so much time and effort.
- Write a list before going shopping: this will help you to purchase only necessary things.
- Learn to repair: there are some things that just need repairing instead of wasting money replacing it, you can just repair and save yourself some money.
- Stay healthy: this will help you spend less in hospital bills, cigarettes, drugs,medications and probably insurance.
- Cut down on electricity usage: turn off the lights, turn off the tv and go outside to read and enjoy nature or you can go for a walk.
- Compare prices: walk around the mall and compare the prices of certain commodities so you can get it for the best possible price in order to save money.
- Cook: to be honest, we waste our money on fast food when we can just buy the ingredients to cook good food and we can re use the ingredients over and over again.
- Sign up for freebies: who doesn't love free things?
- And finally, have a savings account: this is pretty self explanatory.
Thank you so much for reading, make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss exciting posts every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Have a great week and remember to smile☺

It's quite a task these days to keep your cell phone battery alive the entire day. Smartphones have improved the cell phone user experience over time, but anyhow, the battery is still something that suffers in the end. Why? Because despite the fact that new technologies have been drastically improved, they can barely last all day when in use. Most people use lots of apps which consume their battery at an incredible rate. This especially happens when you're on the road. When you're travelling and exploring new places, you rely on your mobile phone's applications such as navigation, GPS apps, etc. The good news is that there ARE ways of saving your cell phone battery life. Check it out.
Charging more for less time
Situations where you're out of reach of a charging cable and or have limited time to charge your cell phone, are most likely increasing. Since most of us are always in a hurry, there's less and less time for the proper and full charging of a cell phone. Here are some tricks that will help you charge more, in less time.
Use a portable battery pack
Portable battery packs can be a really useful thing. For example, you can put the battery on a charger while you're getting ready to go, and when you leave the house (or apartment), just put the portable pack in your pocket and let it keep charging. With certain portable battery packs, you'll be able to fully recharge your iPhone 5 in just 5-15 minutes.
Wall socket charging
If you consider wall socket charging equal to a laptop charging, think twice. Here's why. Wall socket charges your battery faster than when it's plugged in to a computer. So, even when you're in a hurry, try to charge from a wall socket rather than a computer because it will charge your phone much faster and besides, it won't drain your laptop battery. Sometimes it may take an extra hour to charge it via laptop, and that's why you should consider this way of charging. It's extremely time saving and we all need those little tips to ease our days, right?
Switch to flight mode
Wi-Fi is known as the one that drains battery more than any other features you use on your mobile phone. But, when you turn the flight mode on, your battery will last much longer. So, when you put your cell phone on a charger, turn the flight mode on at the same time, and that's how you'll save more energy on your phone and make the battery last longer.
Stop checking your phone, while it's being charged
Although it seems innocent, a big white flashing screen draws so much energy from your cell phone that you probably wouldn't believe. So, can you imagine how much energy is spent every time you turn on your phone while it's on a charger just to see how much is left until it's done. Try NOT TO check your phone every 5 minutes while it's being charged because the charging will take much longer than you expected.
The best thing to do when you put your phone on a charger is to forget about it and stop checking its charging level until it's time to go and get it off the charger.
How long does your cell phone battery last?
Do you have any tricks that you use for cases like this?

2019 VW Tiguan Specs and Review
The deal will make significant changes to incorporate a broad customer base to the new 2019 VW Tiguan. With the VW Tiguan 2019 the company wants to move to a much respected market together with established customer base. The German press has learned that the new Tiguan exists in the program Moto Frankfurt September. The new Tiguan should be much more reliable in terms of fuel, larger, and it is found that when it comes to price, will be much more competitive with the past. It is updated unlike the VW Tiguan 2019. Volkswagen will take this movement will meet the needs and desires of the United STATE enthusiasts. This movement is important as the VW Tiguan fits the most luxurious and prestigious car market. Currently, VW Tiguan sales in the US market have actually been on impulse, although this model seems to pull in terms of the characteristics compared to other competing projects. This factor actually forced Volkswagen to increase the wide range in this area. In addition, the company plans to make significant improvements in all existing projects.
2019 VW Tiguan Specs and Review
Honda CR-V and Ford Getaway are the main competitors of the VW Tiguan. Their result of the US market turnover is estimated in the hundreds of copies sold loads. For 2019, VW Tiguan will be even better for their competitors substantial changes are necessary. Although, according to the company, all look like the changes that were actually experienced by the Passat design. Only then can the European car become a well-known brand name in the US The 2019 VW Tiguan will have a great exterior appearance. He will get an action to get something extended and big edges that will surely be created to increase this model a few yards from the road. The performance of your road will certainly be greatly improved, while its suspension and certainly will be much tighter. Ahead certainly received a new radiator grille and also a front bumper alongside modern LED fixture fronts. It will be new car body lines, which will certainly make sporting and attractive. The line will certainly see a change in the layout of your most attractive style along with the collection of instruments to accompany.

This crossover will be offered all over the world, in almost all markets around the world and around the world, get good results. However, the German car manufacturer plans to come up with a new version and renewed to present for things exactly the same way. It is expected that the second generation of the model comes at the end of the year as 2019 VW Tiguan and many also include mechanical and aesthetic improvements. The new design includes specifications with a wide range of a 2.4-liter engine, and also has a six-speed DSG transmission. The hybrid variant of the Tiguan 2019 will incorporate 9.8 kWh electric lithium-ion and also a digital electric motor with 54 hp. When it comes to business gas, Volkswagen will be keeping absolute competitors in mind and delivering a much better line every gallon standard like the Honda CR-V. As mentioned earlier, in 2019, the Tiguan certainly take the MQB platform currently used on golf versions, and this should bring more space in the interior. In addition, it is expected to bring some major changes and provide even more comfort. Sources report that this design has a much more hostile layout and yet more impressive.
2019 VW Tiguan Release Date and Price
When it comes to the price, is reported to be lower than the price of the current project, the US $ 24 000. If this is the case, surely 2019 the VW Tiguan will certainly be very competitive in the crossover segment. As mentioned above, the records say 2019 Tiguan will be released at Moto in September, Frankfurt, which will be the most practical version. However, if for any reason or not, we can hope that it will first 2019 no doubt gets. The 2019 version of the VW Tiguan is rumored to be much better in comparison to their previous projects, modern technology and premium also use more leg and also for additional comfort boot area on travel. The different alternative security will surely be much more challenging compared to the rest of the competition. In addition, the version will certainly be less price compared to the existing models.

Gibran Watfe, 14 September 2015
It was an unusual Monday morning on May 10th, 2010 in Frankfurt. During the weekend, the heads of state, the president of the European Commission and the president of the European Central Bank were hastily looking for a solution to the imminent euro crisis, before markets would open on Monday morning. It must have been a stressful morning for the ECB staff in DG Market Operations, because it was the day when the ECB announced that it would buy large amounts of government bonds from troubled Eurozone countries in the framework of the Securities Markets Programme.
The problem that the ECB faced was an increasing fragmentation of financial markets. Until then, financial markets viewed the sovereign bonds of Eurozone countries as carrying the same risk. Prices (i.e. yields) were practically the same across all the members of the Eurozone. However, suddenly investors started to look into the risks of each of the Eurozone countries and began factoring in significantly different probabilities of default. The result was a dramatic increase in yields of Greek, Irish, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese bonds. Higher yields represent higher refinancing costs for the governments. This created a vicious circle. These countries would find it even harder to find new liquidity on the markets because they would have to offer higher interest to attract buyers for their bonds and that, in turn, would make servicing of their debt more expensive, bringing them closer to the edge of default.
Harmony and fragmentation
Why is the ECB concerned about financial fragmentation? Usually, measures to combat increased fragmentation are justified by the need to restore the monetary policy transmission mechanism. For the ECB being an effective monetary policy executor, the financial markets across countries need to be aligned. In the particular situation in May 2010, however, what was more urgent was to keep the troubled Eurozone governments solvent. Not acting was therefore not an option for the Governing Council of the ECB. The fragmentation of financial markets can be summarized in a single indicator. Sovereign bond spreads demarcate the difference between a country's sovereign bond yield and the bond yield of a country that is considered to be relatively risk-free. German government bonds were considered to be almost risk-free, thus they were taken as the benchmark against which other yields would be measured. The sovereign bond spreads thus capture the level of fragmentation within the Eurozone, or conversely, the degree of integration of financial markets.
For the purpose of preventing further fragmentation of financial markets, the ECB had two options. First, the ECB could buy high-yielding government bonds directly in the secondary market. The market participants consequently would sell high-yielding bonds and re-balance their portfolios with lower-yielding bonds.[2] This would make yields more similar, i.e. drive down the spreads. Second, the ECB could act more indirectly by saying it will do anything that would be needed to keep the Eurozone together. With the huge potential firepower (read: the monopoly of printing money), investors would ideally take this as a credible signal and start adjusting their portfolios based on this information.
And in fact, the ECB used both strategies during the crisis. Under the Securities Markets Programme in 2010 and 2011, the ECB bought more than 200 billion worth of distressed government bonds and thus induced investors to re-balance their portfolios. The announcement by Mr. Draghi to do "whatever it takes to save the euro" and the subsequent ad-hoc design of the Outright Monetary Transactions programme in 2012 credibly signalled to investors that sovereign bonds of Greece, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Portugal were not that risky after all.
This is a good story but the question that arises is whether it is borne out by the facts.[3] Did the ECB programmes have an impact on sovereign bond spreads? Or in more political terms, did the ECB manage to keep the Eurozone together by adopting its asset-purchase programmes? After all, a single buyer can only move prices in the markets if it has pockets that are deep enough. By any measure, the 200 billion SMP, the 1,100 billion PSPP and the (theoretically) unlimited OMT were sizable. It is worthwhile to ask whether this vast amount of money had the desired effect.
Event studies to gauge impact
One way of looking at movements in financial markets is to perceive each piece of new information as a distinct event at a specific point in time. The literature that takes this perspective is thus referred to as event studies. I looked at two sorts of events in particular. Firstly, those days when the ECB started each asset-purchase programme. Secondly, the days on which an asset-purchase programme was announced. Then I looked at the movements of sovereign bond spreads around these dates with the help of a particular lens (i.e. a model) that filters out any other factors but the ECB's measures that were responsible for movements in the spreads.
And it turns out that indeed the ECB had a substantial impact on the sovereign bond spreads with many of its asset-purchase programmes. Interestingly, the announcements of the ECB had larger effects than the actual purchase of sovereign bonds. Thereby, the Securities Markets Programme was the most effective in reducing spreads and hence restoring harmony in the financial markets across the Eurozone. The analysis also included the most recent full-blown quantitative easing programme of the ECB. The effects that I found using my particular lens were negligible. This is explained by the nature of the programme that has other targets than reducing financial fragmentation. After using the lens to look at the events, I performed a sensitivity analysis to check its stability in different conditions. In most of these conditions, my lens proved to be stable and thus my results became more reliable.
As they alone move markets, Mr. Draghi's word are rightly weighed like gold by market participants. In crisis situations in particular these words alone can determine whether the Eurozone stays intact or not. Still, those buying the bonds on that Monday morning in 2010, the staff at DG Market Operations, were ultimately the ones who, despite their distinct motives, kept the Eurozone together at a very crucial juncture of European integration.
[1] This article is based on my thesis "The impact of the ECB's asset purchase programs on sovereign bond spreads in the Euro area".
[2] The price of a bond is inversely related to its yield. By buying the bonds, the ECB increased the demand, raised their prices and reduced their yields.
[3] The purpose of my Master's thesis was indeed to test empirically the impact, if any, of the ECB's programmes.

How many readers know that 'new' TV show The Tomorrow People isn't really new at all. Long before it was a brash and expensive 2013 remake, it was a cheesy, low-budget original series from the UK.
And it had an awesome intro!
The series ran for 68 episodes between 1973 and 1979 and was aimed squarely at British children as a competitor to the BBC's Doctor Who.
The Tomorrow People proved to be a popular concept. A remake came along for a new generation in 1992, running for 30 episodes over 3 years.
Sadly, the intro wasn't nearly as memorable and this version of the show is mostly forgotten.
The brand didn't stay dormant after the demise of the remake. It just moved to be an audio series in 2001, running for 5 more years and 22 new adventures!

A blooper refers to a short part of video, film production that contains mistakes that individual members of the cast or crew make. It also refers to humorous and accidental mistakes that people make in the cause of their daily talk. In the newspaper billboard in Thatcham, Berkshire, England 'Newbury Bride to Be Found Dead' suggests or reveals that Newbury Bride is alive and there is a plot of her imminent killing and therefore, is to be found dead. The actual and intended meaning of this could have been realized with correct punctuation. It should have been, 'Newbury Bride-to-Be Found Dead'. The failure of such an authority to realize the punctuation mistake results in this blooper.
In the article titled 'One of America's most celebrated chef's gives credit where credit is due' in the Experience Life Magazine, Thomas Keller gives credit to the path taken by the food before it reaches him for cooking instead of giving him the credit that he can make good food. That he is a celebrated cook, yet he gives credit to the process of producing the crop rather than his expertise amounts to a blooper.
From the Democrat and Chronicle (Rochester, New York), the statement "Foremans and supervisors will receive training' is a blooper. A foreman is an employee charged with the task of organizing and overseeing the work pf employees; basically the work supervising employees. Foreman is therefore a synonym of supervisor. The plural of foreman is foremen and not foremans as it appeared in the paper. For a linguistic authority such as Democrat and Chronicle not to know that the two words are synonymous is a blooper.
Icing on a cake for a network party celebrating the thirteen anniversary of the hit show Happy Days: 'Happy Day's'. Icing on the cake is an English phrase that means a good thing happening with another good thing having been preceded it. The party is to celebrate happy days of the hit show 'Happy Days'. The 'happy days' hit being celebrated possesses the days in which it was a hit. One is the name of the hit show and the other means the days when the show was a hit. The order should be interchanged to bring out the intended meaning.

Take the tour:
And then compare Air Trump One with Air Force One.
And then watch as this quite narrow narrow-body airliner bounces from one bankrupt airline to another.
That's not too baller, huh?
And Donald, Rolls Royce jet engines have NOTHING to do with luxury cars. I've never heard anybody ever make this connection, AAMOF. RR engines are no more or less "luxurious" than anything from GE or Pratt & Whitney or anywhere else.
Basically, what this long since out of production 757 is is a super Boeing 737. That means that it has a narrow width (which comes from a decision made in the 1950's with the ancient 707) by today's standards. Donald could have gone with a used 767 widebody, as other billionaires do. Of course, there'd be some downsides with this decision, but it would have been the ballier choice, one that would have been made by a baller. (And if you wanted to go fishing in some small out of the way place, you could have a small, regular corporate jet.)
And oh yes, you'll never ever be President, Donald Trump, despite what people say.
Play us out, actual baller jet:

I think things were a lot more wholesome at the Pacific Stock Exchange Building when it was the Pacific Stock Exchange. You know, back when Kevin Bacon filmed that Quicksilver bike messenger movie in 1986 before you were born. It went a little like this, with KB acting as a besuited yuppie stock broker at the PSE at Pine and Sansome.
You see, back then, everybody wore clothes and open outcry was the order of the day.
Good times.
Suntory times
I'll bet his name is Bruno, something like that:

Now, is Equinox Fitness supposed to be tearing up the sidewalks of 301 Pine Street with their lead sled contraptions?
No, not at all.
Oh well.
First sidewalk bowling and now this.
Here's the big news from Kenneth Baker yesterday.
More deets:
"Called "In the Moment: Japanese Art from the Larry Ellison Collection," the exhibit will include works by noted artists of the Momoyama (1573—1615) and Edo (1615—1868) periods along a 13th—14th century wooden sculpture of Shotoku Taishi; six-panel folding screens dating to the 17th century by Kano Sansetsu; and 18th century paintings by acclaimed masters Maruyama Okyo and Ito Jakuchu."
This should be an excellent show.

Asian Art Museum debuts Ellison's Japanese art collection, coinciding with 2013 America's Cup
SAN FRANCISCO, September 20, 2012—Next summer, as the America's Cup Challenger Series takes to San Francisco Bay, the Asian Art Museum will feature an exhibition of Japanese art from the rarely seen collection of Larry Ellison, Oracle CEO and owner of ORACLE TEAM USA, defender of the 2013 America's Cup.
In the Moment: Japanese Art from the Larry Ellison Collection will introduce approximately 80 exceptional artworks spanning 1,300 years. The exhibition explores the dynamic nature of art selection and display in traditional Japanese settings, where artworks are often temporarily presented in response to a special occasion or to reflect the change of seasons. In the Moment also considers Mr. Ellison's active involvement in displaying art in his Japanese-style home, shedding light on his appreciation for Japan's art and culture.
Included in the exhibition are significant works by noted artists of the Momoyama (1573–1615) and Edo (1615–1868) periods along with other important examples of religious art, lacquer, woodwork, and metalwork. Highlights include a 13th–14th century wooden sculpture of Shotoku Taishi; six-panel folding screens dating to the 17th century by Kano Sansetsu; and 18th century paintings by acclaimed masters Maruyama Okyo and Ito Jakuchu.
"This exhibition offers a rare glimpse of an extraordinary collection," said Jay Xu, director of the Asian Art Museum. "We aim to present it in a fresh and original way that explores traditional Japanese principles governing the relationship of art to our surroundings and social relationships."
The exhibition is organized by the Asian Art Museum and curated by Dr. Laura Allen, the museum's curator of Japanese art, and Melissa Rinne, associate curator of Japanese art, in consultation with Mr. Ellison's curator, Dr. Emily Sano.
The exhibition is on view June 28, 2013 through September 22, 2013. The Asian Art Museum will serve as the only venue for the exhibition.

Now it's sort remarkable how no passenger has died the past decade in an Airbus or Boeing jetliner that either took off or landed in the United States. Of course there was the 9/11 and shortly after that at the end of 2001 there was American Airlines Flight 587, but since then, nothing. That's a pretty good record, non?
But you people, you don't listen when they tell you to turn off your portable electronic devices during critical phases of flight. And then stuff like this happens.
Just saying, bro-ham.
Ah the daily Lufthansa flight from Frankfort, Germany. This happens to be an aging Boeing 747-400, but in a few months it will get replaced by a superjumbo A380.* Can you see someone iPodding or texting up there? I can:
Click to expand
*No, contrary to what the Mayor's Office tells you, the A380 doesn't use less fuel than legacy aircraft. And the version that'll soon be coming to SFO each and every day has wings that are too big for its body, and it's overweight, and blah blah blah. But oh well.
Sophisticated San Franciscans of all stripe turned out to welcome Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino to Polk Gulch / Polk Village Saturday evening.
He graced our burg to promote a new line of vodka, a novel product that's not ridiculous, not ridiculous at all.
The Jug Shop on Pacific:
We're left to wonder, "When will He return?"
Beth Spotswood is all over this Mike Sorrentino situation, as you might expect since he's coming to The Jug Shop at 1590 Pacific on Saturday, October 30th at 5:30 PM or 6:00 PM to sign Vodka bottles or something.
Now, you probably already know all that you need to know about him, but here's a little something about his favorite line of vodka, the one that's paying him $400K.
Do you feel that your favorite vodka has enough protein? Well, fret no longer, Devotion Vodka is here. Let's read the press release together, shall we?
"Devotion Vodka: Get Devoted. THE WORLD'S FIRST PROTEIN INFUSED ULTRA PREMIUM VODKA HITS THE SHELVES IN SAN FRANCISCO, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY. De-vo-tion Pronunciation [di-voh-shuhn] -noun: Commitment Dedication and Determination."
Oh, so that's how you pronounce de-vo-tion. Thanks!
It's new, it's you?
"SAN FRANCISCO, — Created in San Francisco, the birthplace of the original martini,
Uh no, you're thinking of Martinez, CA, way out there in Contra Costa County, and even then you're still wrong.
"Devotion Spirits is set to unleash the groundbreaking power of the first-ever 80-proof, four column distilled vodka with the benefits of protein that is made in the United States.
"Whether enjoyed on the rocks, mixed, stirred or shaken, Devotion Vodka provides for the smooth, delicious ultra-premium vodka taste discerning mixologists (professional or novice) are seeking. The patent pending proprietary solution found only in Devotion Vodka will transform the cocktail. While bar shelves are cluttered with vodkas from around the globe in every imaginable flavor,
"Devotion is the first and only vodka which literally provides a drink with a real protein boost.
Protein? WTF?
"This revolutionary spirit will create a new beverage category, while also defining a new generation of vodka aficionados who devote themselves fully to everything they do in life. Created and developed by company President Drew Adelman, a nightlife, dining aficionado and fitness buff, Devotion Vodka was inspired by his search to combine his two favorite passions: fitness and nightlife.
Fitness and nightlife? Dude, you are a true renaissance man!
"My own personal mantra has always been… if you are going to be bad, you might as well be good," notes Adelman. "With Devotion Vodka I can stay devoted to my regimen, while stepping out for a good time. I used to actually take my own protein out with me when I went for a night on the town.
Well, of course, you can't step out without your protein. Natch.
"Then I realized there were millions of people like me who wanted to take care of their bodies and also have a good time. From that passion, Devotion Vodka was born."
Boozing = taking care of your body. Check.
"In California, Devotion Vodka will be distributed by Young's Market Company. International Spirits & Wines will be representing Devotion Vodka in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Devotion Vodka will be introduced in a 750 milliliter bottle at a suggested retail price of $29.99. The custom designed bottle made in France is not only distinctive, it is transformational;
Or maybe your bottle isn't "transformational." Just saying.
"the frosted glass bottle with the iconic logo and distinguishing red cap will further distinguish the brand and lifestyle that is unique to Devotion Vodka. "I have been in the nightlife industry for many years and I have seen some of the best ideas come through our clubs and restaurants," notes Bob Jones, co-founder/vice president. "From Red Bull and Rockstar to Voss Water
Perrier from Scandinavia – now that's pure genius.
"and Alize… all of those brands have a common thread – unique selling points that made them hugely successful. Devotion Vodka is a top-tier vodka product spirit enthusiasts will embrace. I believe Devotion Vodka has an unrivaled brand proposition everyone can understand and appreciate: protein.
I don't understand/appreciate. Do not copy. Please resend.
"I have no doubt this will be the next big thing in the beverage industry." "I'm exactly the type of person that Devotion Vodka was made for," explains actor, athlete and fitness model Sebastian Seigel.
Or "Siegel," sometimes he spells his name that way. Here's a tip – whenever you get a funny word from Germany or wherever with the E's and the I's, just put the E's as close together as possible, as in Diesel or Siebel.
"I have known Drew for many years and when he told me of his idea to develop protein-infused vodka, I told him I would be the first person buying a drink at the bar. It is ingenious. For athletes and anyone who takes care of their body and is looking for the best products for their lifestyle, Devotion Vodka has to be the choice." In order to develop a recipe that would embody his vision, Adelman turned to the distinguished Frank Lin Distillery chemist, Dhir Singh and award-winning spirits chemist, Dr. Win Adler. Devotion Vodka's proprietary solution
"Solution?" So, the vodka is the solvent and the protein is the solute? Sounds delicious!
"was selected by Singh for the following reasons: Solubility. Clarity. Taste. Feel. Devotion Vodka speaks to the masses.
The way Mussolini did? Neat.
"Its name Devotion shares many of the same attributes of the world's greatest athletes and success stories: commitment, drive and success. From the stand-out design of the bottle to the unique marketing programs, social media campaigns and targeted outreach to the fitness and body builder communities, Devotion Vodka is both an ultra premium spirit and lifestyle choice. Fans and followers will be inspired by the Get Devoted mantrathat will surround all aspects of the brand. For more information, visit www.devotionvodka.com.

So, vodka + protein = Devotion.
O.K., but what about fat (or the taste of fat, anyway)? Well, in that case, you're going to need Bakon, the bacon-flavored vodka.
Choose or lose.
Market Street's most famous Segway rider is still at it, after all these years.
What drives him so?
The encounter. Before…
…and after:
Move aside/
and let the man go through/
Let the man go through
Now I'm sure that other people are out there on the Streets of San Francisco (™, a Quinn Martin Production) commuting to work on a Segway scooter, but this guy, this guy*, he's the man. Why? Staying power, baby. He's been doing it for while. With style.
Note the black suit, black gloves, stick-it-to-the-Man lawyer's ponytail(?), saddlebag, auxilliary lighting – it's got to be the same dude I used to see years ago on Market Street. Apparently, he has a safe and convenient way of storing his rig at home and at work, and he's worked out a good-enough system for safekeeping while performing errands. Good for him.
Click to expand. On Market crossing problematic Octavia Boulevard, San Francisco's Greatest Public Policy Disaster of the 21st Century**
You see, he's not riding on the sidewalk, not tromping on the grass, not riding on the train tracks, not clowning around in Golden Gate Park like Lily, not skylarking himself into a painful (at the very least – that poor, poor woman) faceplant, not killing himself at 5 MPH, not playing soulja boy, and not wearing a tuxedo while escorting a high-heeled woman(!) to the exclusive Black and White Ball.
In short, the man has his dignity.
Quite unlike Gob, for another example:
Truth be told, the San Francisco man you see in the first photo is using the cleverly-designed Segway exactly as it was meant to be used. (There was some issue before about allowing Segways on sidewalks, but all the effort by a bunch of lobbyists failed. So, the street is where these things belong, apparently.)
The problem Segway Inc. has is that there was no way IT (a former name, along with "Ginger") could possibly live up to the hype that came from Segway Inc. and Various Famous People.
But that's ancient history now. What's the future of the Seqway PT? Only Time Will Tell.
*Note the use of a Canon 135mm 2.0 lens avec full-frame digital camera. The key is to use this combo wide-open, so you use either Aperture Priority or Manual Mode to set the lens to f/stop 2.0. (That's the full Clockwork Orange setting, no squinting allowed.) You end up with a diffuse, fuzzy background (depending on geometry of where you're standing, etc.) and clear view of whatever you focused upon, assuming the not-so-hot auto focus feature of your Canon 5D (Mark II or Mark I) got the job done. This special kind of look is why some people get digital SLR cameras.)
**So far. The NIMBYs of Hayes Valley have nine decades left to top themselves.

FREE Muscle Building Program
Gain Muscle, Burn Fat And Increase Strength!
Enter your first name and a valid email address for free instant access to these muscle building workouts.
Fish is without a doubt the most effective way to get all the macro and micronutrients into your body if you are a bodybuilder wanting to add muscle. For example a 175 gram piece of Salmon will give you a total of 39 grams of extremely good protein that is easily digestible.
Along with the huge amount of protein that you get from all fish you also get the much needed good quality fats that are necessary for your increased testosterone demand that you will be using. In the same 175 gram Salmon you also get a lot of fat as you get 22 grams in a 175 gram piece of Salmon but it is all good quality fat.
It needs to be added here that unless you are not concerned about putting on any fat for bulking up you should never fry any foods. The recipe listed below is recommending to grill your fish in preparation. If your objective is to lose fat then you always need to make sure that you avoid frying any foods.
The last point is the salt which you will find in sea water fish like Salmon which may seem a bit high but you can be strict about this by making sure that you do not add any extra salt when eating. There is also the option of limiting your fish to fresh water fish, which is a bit more expensive.
The following ingredients together with a clove of crushed garlic and half a teaspoon of ginger and with half a glass of orange juice should be combined in a bag in order to marinate for 2 hours.
Before closing the bag 3 X 3.5 oz fillets of salmon should be added and after 2 hours of marinating should then be cooked on a grill until it starts to flake when using a fork. The rest of the marinade should be added as you cook.
The following ingredients should be added to the salmon.
1/3 Soy Sauce with reduced sodium
1/2 cup sliced onion
When the salmon has been cooked it should be sprinkled with some crushed Orange rind and served.
The 3 servings will have a calorie value of 160 calories each. 5 grams of fat and 5.2 grams of carbohydrate, with 21.5 grams of protein with each fillet.

Wednesday 19 July 2017
Is Data Protection and all things related to it boring? Not if you go by the delegate numbers booking onto this seminar. Or that it got into the Queen's speech not so long ago. Although that second point may be up for discussion depending on your point of view.
Paula Tighe from Wright Hassall LLP took the room through what the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will mean for professional services firms.
First GDPR scare of the day was….
"Please put your hand up if you think the GDPR will impact you". All hands raise.
"Now please put your hand up if you have prepared for it" Only one hand goes up.
The new law is due to go live in May 2018.
But do you have to be 100% compliant before it comes into force?
Paula is in close contact with the top GDPR person in the UK, the Information Commissionaire, Elizabeth Denham. Who has been speaking about "a robust approach" and "proportionate and balanced view" rather than absolute compliance or you could go to prison, face a fine so hefty your firm will go bust and everyone will cross the road when you walk near them (I may have made that last bit up).
With under a year to go, all the guidelines still haven't all been produced (e.g. ePrivacy). Bad news for your planning and timings. But really, most people aren't anywhere near compliance anyway.
It's bad enough getting your CRM database data compliant, just think how hard it is going to be if you are working off multiple mailing lists all over the place.
So, some of the main points summarised:
Many people today realised they had a long way to go and that they were nowhere near to compliance as they thought. Hence why we thought you'd appreciate us putting this session on. We'll be doing more hot topics, so we may well do another GDPR session nearer the compliance date.
A huge thank you to Sonia Thaper (KPMG) for doing all the event organising and to the lovely firm KPMG for kindly hosting the room for the PM Forum. It couldn't have been done without your help folks, so a big thank you. Huge thanks to Paula Tighe from Wright Hassall LLP for giving us her time and running the session. There was a lot of interest in this topic, so we'll be planning related 'hot topics' soon.
A date for your diary dear readers - Lookout for the 12th September invitation on Client Research, and later in the year a 'How to get your CRM database or mailing lists fit for the GDPR' session.

ESPN 1420 reported a few weeks ago that Tony Robichaux and the Ragin' Cajuns agreed to a five year extension, but now it's official.
