Follow Friday – Commenter Love
I'm not one of those people who can say I blog just to write. While that's part of it, I enjoy the comments that people leave and the conversations they provoke. I don't think everyone to comments needs to support or agree with me. In fact, opposing views prompt some great reflection on everyones part.
So this weeks Follow Friday is a quick thank you to some of my earliest commenters. People who have been here with me since this was a baby fledgling blog.
- Lisa from Lets Talk Babies was one of my first commenters that I didn't know (always a big deal when you're starting your blog). Now I chat with her on a regular basis on Twitter. She's wonderfully supportive and she has an amazingly resourceful blog of her own.
- Ladybugsgrama is, and always has been, one of my favorite follows. Awesomely irreverent, fellow Celtic Crossing lover, and amazing apron maker, I adore this woman.
One more special shout out to TheMaggers on her birthday, today (go wish her a Happy Birthday and bake her a cake, mmmkai?)
Who is your commenter love?
You can play along with Follow Friday
You Can Be My Hero, Baby
I can remember writing essays on the topics of silly things like 'Who is Your Hero' and 'If You Could Have Dinner With Any 3 People, Who Would They Be' when I was in school. I invariably took the lazy route and chose someone easy like Madame Curie, Catherine the Great, or Ghandi (yeah, my beauty pageant answer would have been 'World Peace'…. what's your point?)
But now, years later, I'm older and (I hope) wiser. Oh sure, it would be fascinating to have a conversation with someone brilliant like Einstein, or be inspired by the likes of Mother Teresa. But if I could spend an evening with anyone, it would be little Madeline Spohr.
Beautiful Maddie, who's smile has inspired and touched so many people.
Today is Maddie's second birthday.
(Happy Birthday sweet Maddie)
How I wish I could send her a birthday gift to thank her for everything she has taught me.
To appreciate what I have, rather than taking if for granted.
To put down to phone, computer, work, and focus on what's important – my family.
To be thankful for Vista's health, my health, Bil's health.
To never let a day go by without saying 'I love you'.
So, if someone asked me tonight, who I would invite for dinner, my answer would be Heather and Mike and their darling Madeline. What I wouldn't give to be able to allow them one more evening with their Maddie.
But all the wishing in the world can't make that happen.
What I can do, though, is tell you about Friends of Maddie, a charity founded in memory of Madeline Spohr. A charity who's mission is to provide support to the families of critically ill babies in the NICU.
As the mother of a child who was in a NICU and Special Care Nursery when she was born, I will never underestimate the importance of what the Spohrs are doing.
In celebration of Maddie's birthday, I am asking each of my readers to consider joining me in donating to the Friends of Maddie. Even if it's only $1, it still can make a difference.
Today, Bil, Vista and I will be sponsoring a Family Support Pack as our way of saying "Happy Birthday Maddie. We will always remember you. You will always be our hero."

Cybersecurity Firm Ranks Crypto Exchanges By Safety, Kraken Ranked The Most Secure
Moscow-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB has published a research ranking the security of major cryptocurrency exchanges.
The research, conducted in partnership with crypto insurance platform CryptoIns, is meant to help insurers evaluate and assess the risks associated with a crypto insurance policy. To determine the insurance premiums required to adequately cover cryptocurrency kept on major exchanges, the cybersecurity firm developed an assessment system, which weighs criteria such as the level of technical security, the reliability of key storage, passwords, and personal data of customers. The system also considers the quality of the individual risk management systems of exchanges, and how rigid the know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money-laundering (AML) procedures.
Group-IB divided the crypto exchanges into four groups based on their security features. Crypto exchange Kraken, the only exchange listed in the first group, received the highest rating with 1.25 percent insurance rate. The second group included Bittrex and Coinbase Pro, with a 1.5 percent insurance premium protection. The third group, at a 1.9 percent insurance premiums, includes crypto exchanges Binance, Bitifinex, Bithumb, Bitmex, Localbitcoins, MyEtherWallet and Poloniex. The bottom group of least secure exchanges included OKEx, Huobi Pro, Coincheck, Bitstamp, Bit-Z, Zaif.
"In the first place, we assess how crypto exchanges deal with crypto and fiat assets: what are the exchanges assets keys' storage and management procedures," a Group-IB spokesperson said in a statement. "In some cases, with founders' consent, the assessment includes penetration testing using social engineering methods aimed at the network compromise through the most vulnerable link at any organization – humans."
Group-IB and CryptoIns have not released the exact metrics made when labelling exchanges too risky to insure, stating that such information is confidential.

Heads up! We're working hard to be accurate – but these are unusual times, so please always check before heading out.
Japanese restaurants in Paris
Paris covers all Japanese bases, from ramen joints to full-blown izakayas
Whether it's sushi, bento boxes or ramen noodles, Paris has an abundance of quality Japanese restaurants to choose from. From slick and stylish restaurants to traditional Osaka-style eateries, you can find great Japanese food across the capital. Check out some of our favourites below...
Fine dining
Asia Tee Kenji
Guilo Guilo
Ramen, udon and gyozas
Kodawari Ramen
Choose from five starters and six ramen dishes, such as kurogoma ninniku soba, with black sesame soy sauce and pork chashu (braised pork), or the jidori shio soba with chicken chashu.
Specialising in soba – fine noodles made from buckwheat flour – Sara is super minimal; think rough grey walls, an open kitchen and a bar for watching the chefs beaver away.
Kotteri Naritake Ramen
Once you've braved the queue, the immense, steaming, super generous portions of ramen noodle soup are served quickly.
Come for udon noodes especially – which may be on the expensive side but are extremely well-prepared.
Hakata Choten
The small red-and-black dining room of this Japanese restaurant is warm, inviting, and filled with the sumptuous smells of tonkotsu ramen. It's a true Parisian ramen temple.
Udon Jubey
There's no shortage of Japanese restaurants in this neighbourhood, but Zen is the standout.
Japanese canteens
Chez Miki
The speciality here is bento boxes, which you compose yourself from a scribbled blackboard list (in Japanese and French). A perfect lunchtime spot.
Happa Tei
This chaotic little establishment is a bastion of unfussy Osaka-style cuisine, namely okonomiyaki (omelette-cum-pancakes) and takoyaki (fried octopus balls). The dishes are as succulent as they are scalding, and make for a refreshing break from rarefied plates of sashimi.
Shabu Sha
Opened on Rue des Gravilliers in January 2014 just a few doors down from Bob's Kitchen and Andy Wahloo, Shabu Sha is the clever marriage of two gastronomic concepts: Japanese fondue (fresh raw foods cooked at table in a seasoned stock) and conveyor belt sushi.
This soberly decorated Japanese canteen, does a raft of bento boxes filled with delicious salads, well-cooked meats and omosubis – little balls of rice flavoured according to the recipe of the day (seaweed, spinach, corn and peppers, courgettes and miso).
Peco Peco
Try the donburi or the Katsu sandwich – a delicious snack with breaded pork, red cabbage and home made BBQ sauce piled into a fresh, crunchy baguette.
Simplement Kiku
The little brother of the Japanese restaurant Kiku offers a selection of bentos (eel or grilled chicken, rice and an assortment of vegetables) gyoza and lotus chips to eat in or takeaway.
This Japanese eatery brings you all the charms of an authentic Nipponese izakaya (bar-cum-restaurant), and is the perfect spot for boozing on excellent whiskey.
If the lunchtime bento boxes (€8-12) don't stop you in your tracks, then the list of petite dinner dishes (€3-10) should do the job, when the restaurant turns into an authentic izakaya.
Toritcho is a real izakaya, and one of the oldest and most authentic Japanese restaurants in Paris.
Squirrelled away in a tiny street in the Latin quarter, Lengué is a real slice of Tokyo.

Cala dOr Weather January Averages, Spain
What's the Weather like in Cala d'Or in January
Cala d'Or lies on the east coast of Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands in Spain. It is a popular tourist destination due to its lively town centre and numerous small white sandy beaches. It is an ideal spot for either families or couples and short flight times from the UK and great weather mean there are always a large number of British and Irish visitors.
January is Cala d'Or's coldest month of the year, although temperatures rarely drop any lower than 9 degrees Celsius. High temperatures of up to 14°C are not unusual during January, making it a lot milder than UK temperatures. At night, the mercury doesn't drop below an average low of 4°C. Frost is very unlikely. Both these high and low temperatures remain essentially constant throughout the month. The overall average temperature is 9°C, which, although it is much warmer than other European destinations this time of year, makes it the coldest month of the year in this particular resort. Both December and February, the two other winter months, are one degree warmer.
Average Sea Temperature
The sea temperature is also relatively warm, averaging 15°C, but not comfortable enough for swimming.
There is usually about 52mm of rainfall in Cala d'Or during January, which is about average for the region. Fortunately, this rainfall is unlikely to cause any travel problems, and eases as the month edges towards February and towards the drier summer season. There are 15 days with rainfall, which is the highest number of rainy days of any month in the yearecember records the same number. January is the fourth wettest month in the resort, after the three previous months. The chance that rainfall occurs ranges around 35% throughout the entire month. One type of precipitation is most common this month; moderate rain is observed on 50% of the days with rainfall. Drizzle, light rain and thunderstorms may be experienced as well, respectively on 22%, 13% and 10% of the rainy days.
Average Sunshine Hours
When it comes to sunshine, January is one of the least sunny months in the year. Together with November and December, it receives 5 hours of sunshine per day on average, which relatively speaking is still quite a lot.
The main reasons for this low number of sunshine hours are the short days this time of year and the high percentage of cloud cover. Cloud cover averages 44% in January, which is almost the annual maximum percentagehe actual maximum is recorded in February.
You can check the weather forecast for Cala d'Or here.
Cala d'Or Hotel in January

Things to do in Cala d'Or in January
Cuevas del Drach
The cooler January temperatures mean that many visitors will be looking for some indoor activities. One of the most visited indoor attractions on the whole island is the Cuevas del Drach, located just 18 miles up the coast in neighbouring Porto Cristo. These caves house one of the world's largest subterranean lakes and are open to visitors all year round, except on Christmas and New Year's Day.

Tips for preventing bed wetting
Written by: Maria Brett
Most parents look forward to a time when they no longer need to get up with their children during the night. However, if you're a parent of a child who often wets the bed, you'll know that sometimes this can take years rather than months to achieve.
You're not alone
While it's not generally something that parents of older children speak about, partly due to respect for their child's privacy, you might be surprised at how many kids have issues with bedwetting. A recent study suggests that one in 10 five-year-olds still wet the bed most night. So it's definitely not an uncommon concern, you can rest in the knowledge that there is nothing out of the ordinary with a child who often wets the bed.
Why does it happen?
There are many reasons why a child may wet the bed. These can range from sleeping too deeply to realise the bladder is full, to having an overactive (small) bladder or even anxiety issues. Experts believe that bedwetting may be hereditary and run in families, so if you or your partner used to wet the bed then your child may have similar issues.
Limit drinks close to bedtime
If your child is wetting the bed because her bladder fills quickly or she is a deep sleeper, limiting drinks before bedtime might help. After dinner, only offer sips of drinks and avoid your child drinking in the hour before bedtime. Bear in mind that drinks containing caffeine, such as cola, stimulate the production of urine so it's best to steer clear of these.
Encourage your child to get up
In some cases, children's bodies haven't yet developed enough for them to wake up when their bladder is full. However, sometimes they do wake but don't get up for the loo during the night for another reason, such as being scared of the dark. If you suspect this may play a part in your child's bedwetting, it might be worth investing in a couple of night lights to light her way to the bathroom.
Emotional problems
Being worried or anxious about something can lead to children starting to wet the bed. Changes in family circumstances, bereavement, bullying or starting a new school can all play on a child's mind. If your child has started wetting the bed after being dry through the night for a period of six months or more, it may be a sign of emotional problems. Rather than focussing on the bedwetting, deal with the source of the anxiety and the bedwetting will usually sort itself out.
Health problems
In rare cases, bedwetting can be a result of a health problem. It could be a sign of Type 1 diabetes, which makes the body produce more urine, or it could be down to a urinal tract infection (UTI) or damage to the nerves controlling the bladder. It's also worth noting that constipation can cause bedwetting, if your child has difficulty going to the loo that might be a contributing factor.
While you work on getting to the root of the problem and finding a way to resolve it, there are some practical tips that can make life a little easier. Firstly make sure you have plenty of sheets and nightwear that you can change easily. This minimises the time you both need to spend up and out of bed in the middle of the night. A protective mattress cover will also help make night time bed changes much easier, stopping the mattress from needing to be cleaned so often.
Be patient
Recognising that bedwetting is not your child's fault – or yours for that matter – will help you keep your patience as you're changing the sheets. In the vast majority of cases, children will grow out of bedwetting. It may take some time to get to the source of the problem and find the right solution, but you and your child will get there in time by working together.

It sounds like a buyer's worst nightmare: getting elbow deep into the building process only to discover problem after problem that blows out your budget. But if you're looking for a sign of reassurance, this is it. You can do this. Building a home is incredibly possible, and even more incredibly rewarding. Be aware of how to navigate around these hidden costs to save money and you'll find building to be a breeze.
Problem: Picking the Right Upgrades
You may have already fallen in love with some of our model homes, and we definitely don't blame you. However, be aware that these homes may include upgrades from the original package. Home upgrades are what make your house a home, but be aware that the cost of too many of them can pile up quickly.
Solution: Prioritize
Pick a few upgrades that really matter to you. This can be a better appliance, bigger windows or a better trim. Choose just a few features you love and leave the rest to the original plan. You may want to save some upgrades until after you've seen and lived in your new home.
Problem: Additional Features Not Included in the Sale
After collaborating with your contractor for months, you feel like everything will be and should be taken care of by the time you move into your new home. That's how it should work, right? Well, sometimes there are still costs to be covered after you've moved in: blinds for the windows, missing appliances, utility activation fees, and landscaping. There can be hidden costs you won't think about until you move in. Or worse yet, you realize you hate those countertops and need them replaced!
Solution: Transparency
Communication is key. Always double check with your contractor about what's included and what's not included in the home. For example, Maplewood Homes has a landscaping package, so you don't have to stress over yard work right after the move. Be clear about your standards, and your contractor will be clear with theirs. That way you can work out what's best for both parties. You don't want to be caught off guard by a missing refrigerator!
Problem: Site Preparation
Months before the move-in day, you may find yourself in trouble with the amount of preparation needed to even begin building your home. Leveling the land and removing plants is one thing. But all too often, constructors start to dig only to run into a layer of solid rock!
Solution: Know Before You Buy
It's vital to call in an appraiser before purchasing land. This way, there won't be any surprises when your builders start digging. A proper estimate will help put you at ease and help you confidentially choose the spot of your new home.
Preparing for these hidden costs will make the transition to your new home that much smoother. If you want to know more about the cost of building, contact us or learn more about our organization.

A Bullet for The General
A Bullet for The General aka El Chuncho, quién sabe? is a Spaghetti Western from 1966, directed by Damiano Damiani.
A gang of bandits led by El Chuncho rob a train, and one of the passengers, a young American called Tate, ends up joining the gang. Chuncho nicknames him Niño, and they gradually become friends. Chuncho intends to sell the guns they acquired through the robbery to a revolutionary Mexican general, and Tate helps the gang plan and carry out several raids to get more guns. Despite his original mercenary motives Chuncho becomes more and more invested in helping the villagers fight their oppressors, but it becomes apparent that the manipulative Tate had his own reasons for joining the gang - and aiding the revolutionaries wasn't one of them.
The cast includes Gian Maria Volontè (who played the villain in A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More), Klaus Kinski, and Lou Castel.
- Bandito
- Batman Gambit: How Tate gets the gang to leave San Miguel.
- Decoy Protagonist
- Emotional Bruiser: Chuncho.
- Fake Nationality: Many "Mexican" characters.
- Marked Bullet: The golden one Chuncho finds in Tate's valise. It's intended for the revolutionary General Elías, whom Tate's been hired to kill.
- Mexicans With Machine Guns
- New Meat: How the gang initially think of Niño/Tate.
- The Quiet One: Tate.
- Rebel Leader: General Elías.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni
- Religious Bruiser: El Santo, Chuncho's obsessively religious brother.
- Screw the Money, I Have Rules: In the end Chuncho rejects both Tate's money and his friendship. Instead he kills him, both for leading him to betray the cause and for killing Santo.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: Tate.
- South of the Border
- Spaghetti Western
- Spicy Latina: Adelita
- Strawman Political: Arguably the point of the movie.
- Subverted Trope: Tate's character is similar to the Man With No Name, and Chuncho resembles both Volontè's characters from The Dollars Trilogy and Tuco from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Chuncho is the good guy.
- Training the Peaceful Villagers
- Would Hit a Girl: Tate slaps the wealthy landowner's wife to make her stop yelling.
- You Killed My Brother

EPT11 Grand Final: Franczak falls, bubbling again; Melogno with a million
High tension in the High Roller to describe for you as we update the status of the €25K, now in the money and pushing forward into the night.
Having reached the end of a level with 32 still left, the dinner break came to interrupt and lengthen the bubble period. Upon players' return hand-for-hand would continue for well over an hour more, highlighted by several scattered thrills.
As Davidi Kitai nursed the shortest stack in the room, Nicola D'Anselmo survived a preflop all-in when his ace-queen outdrew Simon Appleby's pocket fours.
Then Pablo Melogno made it all of the way to fifth street versus then-chip leader Andrey Andreev on a paired board, calling all in following a river raise from the Russian. Andreev had trips, but Melogno a full house, and play continued.
With the blinds 4,000/8,000, Davidi Kitai dwindled further and further, at last down to 6,000 and forced all in from the big blind. Three went to the flop, and a bet from one pushed out the other.
It was Melogno who'd gotten Kitai alone, showing jack-high on a queen-high board. Kitai -- who hadn't even looked at his cards -- saw he had a queen for a pair, and two community cards later Kitai had tripled.
Though smiling, Kitai was still wedged tightly in the danger zone. Fortunately for him, he wasn't alone in there, and before long two of his short-stacked brethren were at risk at a neighboring table.
A five-way flop became a three-way turn with two players -- Tom-Askel Bedell and Piotr Franczak -- at risk. Franczak, recall, had bubbled the €100K Super High Roller last week, and now, with fewer chips than Bedell, the same fate suddenly rose up as a possibility again here.
The flop was A♣5♠8♣. The short stacks' nemesis in the hand, Dario Sammartino, had middle pair with Q♦8♠. Bedell likewise had a pair of eights but with a lesser kicker, showing 8♥3♥.
And Franczak? 4♦4♣. He had fours in his hand. And now was down on all fours figuratively, too, with two cards to come.
Two face cards completed the board, and it was over for the Polish player, having realized a nasty high roller double bubble.
The beat hadn't been as brutal, his aces having been cracked by pocket treys in the earlier event when another trey turned (after someone said he'd folded one, too). But he'd be forgiven to think himself somehow snakebit after enduring a similar result again.
With that Bedell began the march to the cashier, having picked up a min-cash of €46,400, and Kitai was right on his heels after earning the same. Christoph Vogelsang, Ben Heath, Sorel Mizzi, and Matt Waxman are also part of the first wave of cashers, as now they're down to 22.
Meanwhile Melogno -- whose call of Kitai helped preserve both the bubble (perhaps by design) and the Belgian's tourney life -- has gone from being all in one from the cash to being the new chip leader, the only one at the moment with over a million.
A regular on the Latin American Poker Tour where he final tabled one Main Event during Season 5 in his native Uruguay, and also a stalwart online as "elmelogno4" where he has a Sunday Million title to his credit, this marks Melogno's first EPT cash.
Also worth noting -- Scott Seiver has done it, earning a "high roller hat trick" after having cashed in the €50K Super High Roller, the €100 Super High Roller, and this €25K High Roller, too!
They've still a way to go, with a couple more one-hour levels left in Day 2. Those who remain all eye that €1,114,000 first prize up top. You keep an eye on the updates above as well, as the final levels of the night play out.
