But cooking on Calphalon sounds like a nice way to spend an evening. You make sushi appetizers and I'll make a dinner that does not even remotely go with sushi. And you should serve wasabi with the sushi because it's an antimicrobial.
Speaking of cooking, we had the most incredible amuse bouche last weekend - it was a creamy goat cheese with cranberries wrapped in zucchini skin, jalapeño, and prosciutto...it was phenomenal, developing into four or five distinct tastes as you ate it. I'm not a food snob, but I love a tasty bite to eat.
I make a pretty good gougere (with gruyere of course!).
Now when you say you "loosely base a dish on an ingredient list and don't worry too much about the details" do you mean you just throw random stuff together?

Who doesn't like choices? In the last century, most Dallas ISD students went with their neighbors to elementary, middle and high school according to their attendance zone. Curriculum and instruction were pretty much the same for the majority of students. Today, more parents are looking for options and a best-fit education for their child.
DISD began the year with a remarkable expansion of school choices for students, both at their neighborhood school and at magnet, innovation and transformation schools. On Dec. 3, the district will host the Discover Dallas ISD Fair to showcase all 228 schools. Students and parents are encouraged to attend to learn about the many programs that are available. Whether it's collegiate academies, pre-K programs for 3 and 4 year olds, single-gender and magnet schools, Montessori, STEM, two-way dual language programs and other choices, DISD has something for every interest.
Come check it out: Discover Dallas ISD, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 3, at Ellis Davis Field House (elementary grade levels), 9191 S. Polk, and directly across the street at D.A. Hulcy STEAM Middle School (middle and high school programs). There will be workshops, student performances, demonstrations, and opportunities to speak with teachers and principals. I hope to see you there.

Trophy Animals
Trophy animals (2008-)
As symbol of power and wealth; the Trophy appears as the Human Vanity.
Humans present their hunting success as an ornament and take them into their interior decoration.
As unstuffed Animals, their eyes are staring into space and can be interpreted like laughing at humans fatuousness or they might even curse their own fate.
In this collection, I recreated animal trophies by Ceramics which have been used for Ornaments throughout ancient times.
How do we look like, as humans, from the perspective of the trophy? As ugly creatures that are covered by limitless desires.

The sound of bud opens itself breaks the silence
And tea set is left behind the time…
The collection which is inspired by British romanticism and my experience when I visited an Old Manor House in the UK, is about the long lapse of Time and Ceramics materiality which remain even after the long long time.
In this collection I deploy the tea set form and by partly destroying it, demonstrate the original dynamism of the material.
There is a strong contrast between the added flowery decoration and the destroyed part.
They look totally opposite yet show the various potential and possibility of the Ceramics expressions.

BMW Malaysia presents the First-Ever BMW i3s.
BMW Malaysia today unveiled the BMW i3s, its first Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) or pure electric vehicle at the Malaysia Autoshow 2019. The First-Ever BMW i3s adds to the premium automaker's portfolio of Visionary Mobility vehicles and reinforces BMW Group Malaysia as the leading e-mobility provider in the country.
"The First-Ever BMW i3s is a strong testament to our commitment to shaping the Future of Mobility in Malaysia. We have continuously driven initiatives for innovation, local assembly capabilities, and awareness on new and clean technology for the automotive industry as well as developing the infrastructure for premium vehicles in the country. With the First-Ever BMW i3s, Malaysia's first pure electric vehicle in the premium segment, we look forward to continuing driving the Story of Visionary Mobility forward," said Mr. Raymond Tan, Head of Sales of BMW Malaysia.
In line with BMW Malaysia's goal to drive the future of sustainability forward, the introduction of the First-Ever BMW i3s strongly contributes to the National Automotive Policy 2014 that aims to make Malaysia a regional energy-efficient vehicle (EEV) hubby 2022. With its targeted 80% penetration of EEVs in the total industry volume by 2022, BMW Malaysia is committed to furthering its support for the national agenda with the First-Ever BMW i3s – Malaysia's first pure electric vehicle in the premium segment.
Having previously delivered more than 120,000 units of BMW i3 vehicles globally, the First-Ever BMW i3s now bring more polished styling accents, advanced integrated technology, and a clean design that keeps sustainability in mind every step of the way. Not only is it a powerful electric vehicle, but it is also 80% furnished with recycled and renewable resources – thus staying true to BMW Malaysia's commitment to automotive sustainability. With the refinement of the BMW eDrive technology, the First-Ever BMW i3s guarantees a locally emission-free drive without compromising on driving force and energy efficiency. The First-Ever BMW i3s generates an impressive maximum output of 135kW/184hp, making it the most formidable machine of its class.
The First-Ever BMW i3s and the portfolio of BMW iPerformance vehicles are supported by the ChargEV platform through BMW Group Malaysia's partnership with GreenTech Malaysia. The BMW ChargeNow service is offered as part of the BMW 360° ELECTRIC program. This enables owners straightforward access to partner charging facilities like ChargEV, where they can enjoy 24/7 support and access to all charging locations in ChargEV's growing network nationwide.
An electrifying symbol of urban mobility.
The unmistakable, avant-garde exterior styling of the First-Ever BMW i3s has already clinched multiple awards for its design, including the iF gold award for product design, the World Car Design of the Year award and the World Green Car of the Year. The First-Ever BMW i3s sports a bold front bumper with a black U-shaped surround and a high-gloss black accent for its closed kidney grille, making it more distinct. Lateral trim strips on the front apron in the BMW i Blue further emphasizes the width of the urban automobile.
Full LED headlights come as standard, along with new turn signals horizontally integrated into the front apron for a sportier finish. The high-gloss black accent on the A-pillar and roofline provides the new electric vehicle a sleeker outlook. From the back, the First-Ever BMW i3s portrays a more powerful stance with its variant-specific rear spoiler and wide black surround.
The First-Ever BMW i3s is also equipped with sports suspension as standard, which includes a 10mm drop in ride height, with an increased track width of 40mm for sportier handling. It is also exclusively affixed with 20-inch BMW i light-alloy wheels in double-spoke style 431 with mixed tires.
A thoroughly dynamic performer.
The First-Ever BMW i3s have proven to be the greenest driving force that BMW has developed yet. The emission-free vehicle is powered by a formidable synchronous electric motor with a Single-Speed Automatic Transmission. Built for high-powered performance, the First-Ever BMW i3s can reach speeds of up to 160km/h. The full-electric vehicle delivers a maximum output of 135kW/184hp, with a peak torque of 270Nm. The First-Ever BMW i3s can sprint to the 100km/h mark in just 6.9 seconds.
The lithium-ion high-voltage battery located low on the vehicle floor provides the First-Ever BMW i3s a range of 260km based on the Customer-Oriented Electric range in everyday use. The combined electric power consumption of the First-Ever BMW i3s on the NEDC cycle is at 14.3kWh for every 100km.
The First-Ever BMW i3s is designed for outstanding driving dynamics and supreme handling agility. The electric vehicle, made for sportier handling with zero local emissions, boasts sports suspension with custom-made springs, dampers and anti-roll bars. The driver can also select SPORT mode using the Driving Experience Control switch to initiate more direct accelerator response and tighter steering characteristics, showcasing the vehicle's sporting edge. Its updated drive system also includes modified motor control and specific taper roller bearing to greatly optimize power delivery and the performance curve at higher rpm.
Enhanced driving agility in the First-Ever BMW i3s can also be accredited to the optimized Dynamic Stability Control and Dynamic Traction Control. The vehicle also features Cornering Brake Control, Dynamic Brake Control and the Antilock Braking System with Brake Assist for a safer drive no matter the traffic condition.
Furnished for maximum comfort and sustainability.
Rooted in the LifeDrive vehicle architecture, the interior design language of the First-Ever BMW i3s prioritized the many needs of the driver – comfort, innovation, and spaciousness, without compromising on its premium characteristic: sustainability. This is reflected through its brilliant use of recycled and renewable resources on over 80% of all visible surfaces within the vehicle; which is key to maintaining the low carbon footprint ideal of electric mobility. The many sustainable materials used to furnish the First-Ever BMW i3s include recycled plastics, natural fibers, and open-pored, unbleached eucalyptus wood. The carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) passenger cell also helped achieve that feeling of lightweight spaciousness that every electric vehicle strives for.
The model is furnished with the BMW i Interior Design Suite that features a sophisticated instrument panel and exquisite upholstery in Dark Truffle Leather Vernasca. The First-Ever BMW i3s is complete with Carum Spice Grey headliner and a premium leather steering wheel.
Charging ahead for electromobility.
The latest innovation to the world of electric mobility is the new BMW Digital Charging Service that provides a taste of the future today. With the BMW ConnectedDrive and the BMW ConnectedDrive Portal, charging the electric vehicle can become a digital experience – from optimizing charging costs to making use of home-generated solar energy to maximize the ecological benefits of electric mobility. All these can be done through a smartphone with the BMW ConnectedDrive or through personal computers (PC) and tablets via the BMW ConnectedDrive Portal.
The BMW i Wallbox also facilitates lightning speed charging at home for a significantly longer all-electric driving range. The BMW i Wallbox provides 11kW of charging power for an electric range of 180km in under three hours. The BMW i Wallbox is equipped with WiFi access and can be operated seamlessly via a smartphone, smartwatch, PC or tablet, and can also access all features of the BMW Digital Charging Service.
Intelligent assistance with a superior level of connectivity.
BMW ConnectedDrive, the innovative digital platform is available in the First-Ever BMW i3s. With services including Intelligent Emergency Call, Concierge Services and Remote Services, one can expect a seamless driving experience from the electric BMW vehicle.
Complementing the advancements made to the First-Ever BMW i3s is Driving Assistant Plus, the impressive driver assistance systems that provide unfaltering support for various traffics situations. The driver assistances include a rear-view camera, Park Distance Control for both front and rear, active cruise control with Stop & Go function, Collision and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking function and Traffic Jam Assistant.
The First-Ever BMW i3s also comes with the updated version of the iDrive operating system that allows the driver to control numerous vehicular, infotainment, communication and navigation functions. The electric vehicle features the BMW Navigation System Professional with a 10.25-inch control display, as well as a 5.7-inch TFT instrument display.

Greetings and welcome to blog #87. Los Angeles is a fascinating place. It has great weather, industrial strength fog and more freeways than you can poke a stick at. I fear I may not have seen the best that LA has to offer – freeways not tending to grace the pages of too many tourist websites or brochures.
My husband imports classic cars, mainly Mustangs from 1965 – 1967, since you asked. So we have spent a reasonable amount of time whilst here in La La Land travelling hither and yon, looking at them, inspecting them, having them fixed in some way, and getting them to the shippers who are transporting them to Australia.
My view of LA has therefore been a lot of this to the left. I took that photo on Sunday, on the way to (or from, can't remember now) the Long Beach car swap.
Gripping view, isn't it? I have seen so many LA freeways I could write a book on them. I have rumbled over them in what seemed like square wheels (ka-thum, ka-thum, ka-thum). And I have come to loathe the sound of Tom-Tom (electronic female) intoning: "bear right then stay in the left lane". Or anything, really.
Anyway, guess what I did just yesterday? I went into an LA consignment store. Yes I did! We were on Santa Monica (the "t" in 'Santa' is silent, I've discovered) Boulevard, West Hollywood, eating at Hugo's restaurant. I had the New American Veggie Burger, Dan had the Roasted Pineapple-Coconut Pancakes – they were so heavy they could've sunk a ship. After all that food, we needed a brisk walk to burn some of the calories off.
Well, here's something else I've noticed in LA. Nobody walks. Well, not a lot of people walk. Compared to the volume of people in cars, there's not a lot of walkers. Unlike, say, New York City where the streets are brimming, overflowing even, with people. So not only did we have the streets to ourselves, almost, but we didn't have a lot of places to look into.
As far as I can tell, when people go shopping in LA, they GO shopping. They don't just stumble into a retail experience as they go about their daily business. No. They point themselves (well, their cars) in a particular direction and they go specifically to that place. The shopping centres we walked by seemed to feature dry cleaners, nail and tanning salons and tattoo parlours. Not a lot of walk-ins to those stores.
So, lo and behold when we came across this consignment store, it felt like an oasis of interesting in a desert of blah. It was a large consignment store, not particularly high quality or attractively laid out. It resembled a charity store more than a consignment store. Although clearly I liked the shoe displays:
I almost didn't go in. Earlier in the challenge, around month 5 in, I realised that I had some misplaced fear around clothing stores – they were in some way the e.n.e.m.y. I felt that if I went into a store and saw something I liked, then it would be hellish for me to leave it there on the rack. Better to stay out. Avoid. Resist. Harden up.
I slapped myself around a bit after realising that was what I was thinking and feeling – could I really be fearful of what would happen to me inside LL Bean? Bird-eating spiders are worth being fearful of. Carnivorous reptiles, yes a worthy object of fear. Crashing to earth from 30, 000 feet – again, reasonable. But fear of a shopping experience? C'mon!
Of course, fears aren't rational. Feelings in general are not logical. In Jungian terms, feelings represent the balance point to logic and analysis.
And that's the beauty of feelings; that's the contribution they make to our lives. They are the weft thread that makes the tapestry so interesting, so compelling, so rich. Not to mention annoying, disruptive and inconvenient at times.
So, realising that my feelings were not to be beaten up and mocked (at least by me – there are always others who seem willing to play that role, like Morticia says to Gomez "don't torture yourself, darling – that's my job"), I tried another tack. I went deeper into them.
I started to experiment with going into stores and opening myself up to the experience that I was going to have. My version of feeling the fear and doing it anyway. It was an important tipping point for me in my 12 month journey – if I was ever going to understand this fear, I had to experience it. Right? I mean, you can't slay a dragon from your armchair.
What I noticed was… you guessed it… there's nothing to fear. Not really. That even if I find something that I quite like, that I ordinarily would have purchased, it doesn't hurt to not buy it.
In fact, the experience of being on this challenge has freed me in some way (I talked about the relief I felt when I first experienced this, a few months ago, in a pyjama store). It lets me off the hook.
So, going into this consignment store yesterday, which may have held some treasure that only I could unearth and see the beauty and magic in, was part of my experience of facing the thing I had feared the most.
It's a less intense experience now, of course, as I've been lowering my resistance to it by repeated application of this approach over the last 6 months. And every time, it gets easier. Hooray! My medication must be working.
Another fear that I share with much of the world's developed-economy population is a fear of ridicule. Acknowledging my fear and sharing my feelings about it is one outstandingly effective way to trigger other people's feelings of judgement. Have you noticed? I guess that's just the risk I take when I put this out there. One worth taking. I hope. I mean – Right?

MADRID (Reuters) - The number of Catalans in favor of their region becoming independent from Spain has dropped to a four-year low, a survey showed on Friday, casting renewed doubt over the secession campaign just as its leaders disagree on the way forward.
Catalonia, a wealthy region in northern Spain, made a unilateral declaration of independence in October but the move was stopped by the Spanish authorities because it was against the country's constitution.
The region, which has its own language and extensive devolved powers, has since then been ruled directly by the central government in Madrid. Secessionist parties won a regional election in December but they have since then failed to agree on how the region should be ruled.
Some in the independence camp want former regional head Carles Puigdemont to govern from Brussels where he is in self-imposed exile since October, a solution that faces many potential legal hurdles, while others would prefer to pick a candidate with a lower profile in order to ease tensions.
The closely watched quarterly survey from the Centro d'Estudis d'Opinio showed 40.8 percent of Catalans backed a split from Spain from 48.7 percent in October.
In the meantime, support for Catalonia remaining within Spain jumped to 53.9 percent from 43.6 percent, its highest level in four years.
The new regional parliament is due to hold its first regular session next week to discuss how to break the deadlock.

Review on TripAdvisor
"Route is well planned, you get to see wonderful unique places. Travelling on Super Jeeps is comfortable and relaxing, even on gravel roads. Trip is well worth the money. The destination is breathtaking."
Tour Description
Natural Habitat for Super Jeeps
The route takes us from Reykjavik to Þjórsárdalur valley where we stop at Hjálparfoss waterfall, meaning the Helping Falls. This name comes from historical times when travelers arrived at this lush area and their horses could graze and recover.
After Hjálparfoss we'll be leaving the green farmlands of the lowland and we head for the highlands where the stunning wilderness awaits us.
The highlands are the super jeep's natural habitat. Crossing rivers and driving on coarse gravel roads on your way to Landmannalaugar will give you an experience to remember. We will make a stop at Crater Lake Ljótipollur, formed in 1477 and now filled with a cobalt-blue deep lake.
Landmannalaugar is a region forged by different and compelling geological elements, such as extensive lava fields and the multi-coloured rhyolite mountains. Awash in a rainbow of colours, the mountains fade from pink to brown and green, with splashes of yellow, blue, purple and black in between.
There is a good opportunity to bring out any lunch-packs or snacks you have upon arrival at Landmannalaugar, before we take off for a short hike. If you prefer you can go straight to the pool for a relaxing bath.
On our way back we will take the Dómadalur route that takes us through lava fields and between the mountains, truly a unique scenery. Vikings would drown thieves there in the old days, binding their hands and feet and throwing them into the falls from the high cliff.
If conditions allow, we will stop to by volcano Hekla and take a walk in the lava fields. Hekla was nicknamed "the Gateway to Hell" in the Middle Ages, and for good reason – it's Iceland's most active volcano and she last erupted in 2000.
We head back to the city in the evening sun.
The Geothermal Pool
Bring a swimsuit and seize the chance to bathe in the warm natural pool. At Landmannalaugar, colourful rhyolite mountains fill the views, indicating that geothermal activity is everywhere.
We hope the memories of Landmannalaugar's majestic scenery and of our thrilling super jeep excursion will stay with you forever.

pic 1 of 2. front entry porch. palette: gray, dk. brown, white trim. awesome light fixture, slate tile floor, dark brown ceiling and door, gray siding I Love the ceiling!
There's nothing better than an inviting front entry porch and this one is no exception. A front entry porch that is appealing and warm will create a space that everyone will want to enjoy.
Notice that the homeowner did not use extravagant colors. Instead, they went with a palette of gray, dk. brown with white trim. Nice clean lines are being used so the eye is not distracted and you can concentrate on the architecture and accessories.
Take a moment to look at the awesome light fixture that is on the dark brown ceiling. This fixture will definitely attract attention and will help accent the gorgeous ceiling (can you tell that I love the ceiling?).
In order to pull the ceiling together with the rest of the front entry porch, the homeowner added a dark brown over sized door. It commands attention, doesn't it?
Lastly the slate tile floor brings the grays and browns together.
All in all, this was a wonderfully planned and implemented front entry porch that anyone would love to have.

Planning Process to Update 2003 Revitalization Plan, Consider Possibilities for Enhancing this Busy Corridor
Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Councilwoman Vicki Almond announced that the Baltimore County Department of Planning will undertake an 18-month comprehensive study of the Pikesville commercial corridor to develop recommendations for revitalizing this area of Baltimore County. County planners will assess existing conditions and trends in Pikesville and seek broad community input to help identify opportunities for positive change in the area from the City/County line to the Beltway.
"Having grown up in the area and representing it on the County Council for 16 years, I know this area well and recognize that people have a strong affinity with this historic town center," said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. "I was actively involved in the 2003 revitalization plan, which helped create design guidelines to promote high-quality redevelopment, and the area could certainly benefit from some focused attention again."
"I am excited about the potential for enhancing the Pikesville business district and look forward to collaborating with the planners and area residents and businesses to bring a fresh burst of energy to this popular destination," said 2nd District Councilwoman Vicki Almond.
"We are thrilled that the County is undertaking this review," said Pikesville Chamber of Commerce President Mark Pressman, who also works as the Business Development and Strategy Director for the North Oaks Retirement Community in Pikesville. "This is a great example of businesses, community organizations and local government getting together to figure out what is best for the Pikesville community."
About the Study
The three-phase project will begin with a thorough evaluation of the area including a review of demographics, zoning, pending and proposed development projects, transportation and parking, environmental issues, historic resources, housing, general real estate market conditions, businesses, public facilities and more. This initial background survey, expected to be completed by the end of 2017, will incorporate other relevant guidelines and designations including the status of recommendations in the 2003 Pikesville Revitalization Plan Update, Pikesville Commercial Revitalization Guidelines and Baltimore County Master Plan designations.
The second phase of the study will involve meetings with an extensive list of community stakeholders in the area including community groups, business owners, institutional and non-profit organizations and local and state government agencies. While there will be general community-wide input meetings, most will be with the individual groups of stakeholders to ensure a meaningful dialogue where information can be exchanged and discussed and all perspectives get a chance to be heard. The Department of Planning anticipates publishing draft/interim summaries to be available for public review by the spring of 2018.
A final document will be generated containing the findings and prioritized recommendations for action that identifies which entity will have primary responsibility for implementing each recommendation. The target date for publishing this final study document is the summer of 2018.
We're working to provide you with a better experience, and want your feedback. Learn more about our project and give your feedback.

Olivier Jeannot
"My challenge is for the visitor to leave with a feeling of euphoria, a mixture of flavors, senses, well-being, good vibes and warmth, and finally, to be immersed in an atmosphere of happiness, the same as in these 20 years of La life has managed to maintain and cultivate Étniko de Bellavista"
Olivier Jeannot.
In March of 1997, Étniko opens its doors in Bellavista. With great expectation, it was a semi-hidden place, a rarity in the neighborhood, without much verified information about what it was going to offer..
Its creator, Olivier Jeannot, man of the world, when he began, knew that the incipient Chilean gastronomic industry needed a shake. It will be because of his childhood in Africa, because of his mother's constant travels through Asia, or because of his father's French blood. From a very young age he was in contact with the kitchens of the world and hence the clear inclination towards the exotic and intense. So in Étniko he dared to have fusion food, with the protagonist's sushi at a time when in Chile this was little less than unknown. Whether it was the novelty that it meant, or the lively atmosphere that was created around the bar and later on the dance floor, Étniko was the great success of the moment in Bellavista, and the icon of the capital's night.
Today, 20 years after its opening, it is still valid and now also in Vitacura, in the CV Gallery, in a more modern, spacious and made-to-measure space to receive those who are looking for a good table, good cocktails, and better company.

Van Nuys, CA – Entrepreneurs, self-conscious women, and animal-loving caregiver "hopefuls" are the make-up of people that stand in-front of four mogul gate-keepers to the "Bank of Hollywood". A new game show that gives people the opprotunity to fulfill their dreams by convincing these successful millionaires to fund their cause by giving them money from the bank.
"Bank of Hollywood" is executive produced by "American Idol" host, Ryan Seacrest, who was a "hands-on" producer as he worked on-set the first day to collaborate with the director, other producers of the show, and stage manager.
The four wealthy Hollywood "bankers" are: Candy Spelling (widow of legendary producer of Dynasty, The Love Boat, 90210, Aaron Spelling), Vanessa Rousso, a.k.a "Lady Maverick" (Professional Poker Player), Melody Thornton ("The Pussycat Dolls"), and Sean Patterson (Wilhelmina Models President).
One-at-a-time, a different contestant enters the arena-like stage via a lighted tunnel walk-way to convince the panel to give them the requested amount of money from the "bank of Hollywood". They must prove that their cause is notable, and will make a significant change in their lives for the better. In order to receive funding from the bank, each "hopeful", what contestants are called, must get approval from three members of the panel. If a tie occurs amongst the panel, and the contestant receives two "Nos" and two "Yes's" then the panel must deliberate in order to come up with the deciding vote. The four judges discuss their votes on-stage without mics. The contestant then comes back in the final round of the show to find-out if they will receive the money or not.
Money requests that involve start-up cash for businesses, are always asked by the panel if there is a business plan. The business plans themselves are never in-hand of the contestants. However, the deciding factor of a tie-breaker in one instance, the business plan actually hurt a contestant and they did not receive the money. The judges stated that they did not like what they saw in the business plan. This was after a brief off-stage break from the judges. This gives the impression that the business plan of each contestant most likely is available by request back stage.
There seems to be no limit of the amount of money someone can ask for from the "Bank of Hollywood". At least there isn't one stated on the show. And, the total amount inside of the bank is a mystery. Also, it is never noted on the show as to where the money in the bank comes from. Money requests have ranged from $4000 at the lowest, to $650,000 thus far. The $4000 request came from an aspiring "storm chaser", and the highest amount of $650,000 came from Pirate re-enactment performers to build a pirates ship.
Very likable host, Bryan Callen (MADtv) remains neutral and unbiased in each contestant circumstance and helps to facilitate the ruling process. As a host, Callen exudes much confidence and charm. A side-note, stand-up comedian, and game show contestant from "Deal of No Deal" (day time), and "Catch 21", Vivica is the bubbly audience warm-up host who is currently up for Jackie Warner's ("Work out") new weight loss reality show, "Thintervention with Jackie Warner†on BRAVO!"
The show features a few heart-felt requests from candidates, as well as some outlandish ones. Some examples of genuinely good causes include: a cheer leading squad to compete in the nationals; a soul food restaurant business; an Olympian's funding; a same-sex child adoption; and a Venice Beach mobile food truck. Some of the more ridiculous requests for money has been for the following: breast implants; pageantry sponsorship; a $5000 dog bed; and a laughing therapy business.
"Bank of Hollywood" show provides a great chance for some one with a novel idea who can't get funding from the traditional process. However, my biggest complaint with this show, is it needs to waste less time with the crazies asking for money (their soul purpose is to push ratings) , and more time on substantial requests from people who have a noble need whether it be concerning health, or business.
It's sure to be an audience-pleaser in this time of recession. Where do I sign up? No air-date announced yet. "Bank of Hollywood" is said to air on "E!" network according to host, Callen and crew members.
UPDATE: The eight-episode series begins airing Dec. 14 at 10pm on "E!"

Dear Mr. Mayuresh,
Phone : 40030142
I had made a request for a plan change on 18th Jan , this is the request number 40030142, as per this my plan change should have taken place on 26th Jan , but I noticed its not been done. After calling and following up for last 5 days, today I was told it would only be changed after 26th Feb and a difference will be credited to my account. The lady failed to tell me what this difference in amount or GB's
This has upset my business plans severely, I would like to put in a strong complaint on this for the pathetic customer service you provide, who never escalate the calls, and promise to call in 2 hours and never call back!
Please let me know how are you going to compensate my loss??

Want each new oil delivered right to your door every month? Check out our Signature Oil Subscription Program!
You can get a 1/2oz bottle here, or to purchase the 4oz version, use this listing.***************
Foncé Fleur captures all the aromas of a nighttime garden with essential oils swirled in a soothing, moisturizing blend of natural oils.
Base Oil: Camelina Oil
Secondary Oils: Fractionated Coconut Oil, Avodado Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil
Essential Oils: Petitgrain, Copaiba, Melissa (Lemon Balm), Neroli, Oakmoss, Mugwort, Gingergrass
Aroma: Nighttime garden: green and darkly floral swirled in evening mist.
Application: 1-2 drops of oil in the hands and massage into damp hair or into the scalp.
Detailed Ingredients:
• Camelina Oil was known as the "gold of pleasure" to Europeans not long ago. Rich in natural antioxidants, Omega-3 fatty acids, tocopherols, and high in vitamin E content; Camelina oil is truly under appreciated. Camelina oil also has incredibly high in both alpha-linolenic and linoleic acid contents, and proportions this large are more typically found in linseed oil and fish oil.
• Coconut oil fractionated- Coconut oil is excellent as a skin moisturizer and softener. A study shows that extra virgin coconut oil is effective and safe when used as a moisturizer, with absence of adverse reactions. A study found that coconut oil helped prevent protein loss from the wet combing of hair when used for fourteen hours as a conditioner before washing the hair.
• Avocado Oil- This deep golden oil is an edible oil pressed from the fruit of the Persea americana (avocado). It is used for lubrication and in cosmetics where it is valued for its regenerative and moisturizing properties. Rich in nutrients, amino acids, and essential fatty acids, this nutritional oil is excellent for enhancing hair health. It supplies vitamins A, B, D, and E to nourish both hair follicles and the scalp. Vitamin E also acts as a protective antioxidant. It has natural humectant properties, adding and locking in moisture. The monounsaturated fatty acids will give hair a glossy shine and silky texture. The amino acids will promote the growth of new hair cells.
• Pumpkin Seed Oil- Pumpkin seeds contain fatty oils with linoleic acid and oleic acid, both known to prevent cancer-causing cell production. They are also an excellent source of vitamins A, B6 and C. In addition, the seeds contain beneficial nutrients like zinc, magnesium, calcium and iron. Perhaps most important to those suffering from hair loss, the seeds contain cucurbitin, a unique amino that may be responsible for pumpkin seeds' effects on hair growth. There is conjecture that when consumed internally pumpkin seed oil it is a DHT blocker and can aid in treating baldness or hair loss, though no clinical study has been done.
• Petitgrain (Citrus aurantium) Essential Oil- Made from the leaves and twigs of this amazing tree, it is antiseptic, antispasmodic, a natural deodorant, and nervine. Use in a hair oil will leave hair and scalp fragrant (petitgrain has woody, citrus and floral notes all in one!), while soothing and preventing bacterial and fungal growth. Blends well with lavender, rose, and sandlawood.
• Copaiba Essential Oil- Mild, sweet, woody, slightly balsamic oil, it is often used to invigorate the scalp and heal problem areas. It is a powerful anti-fungal and also helps to reduce headaches and migraines.
• Lemon Balm Essential Oil- A light, fresh, green citrus scent, this oil is calming and uplifting all at once. is famous particularly for its soothing, memory boosting and antidepressant powers, as well as its antibacterial properties.
• Oakmoss Essential Oil- Earthy-rich notes of moss, with slight undertones of wood and pine with excellent tenacity. Reminiscent of a walk in an old forest. Oakmoss is both an antiseptic and a demulcent meaning that it both fights microbes while soothing irritated tissues. It is excellent at helping maintain the moisture and oil balance of skin, making it fantastic for scalps.
• Mugwort Essential Oil- Mugwort can be considered both famous and infamous. In China, its medicinal properties were used to treat various ailments, while in European countries like England and others, it was used in witchcraft and black magic. This oil has a warming effect on the body, which can be used to counter the effects of cold temperatures and moisture in the air. Mugwort should never be used during pregnancy.
• Gingergrass Essential Oil– A warming oil and anti-inflammatory, it increses circulation to the scalp. It has an array of lively green, citrus, slightly fruity, exotic sensual notes.

Major congratulations are in order for model Ashley Graham.
After five seasons partnering with Addition Elle, a Canada-based plus-size retailer, Graham will finally release her lingerie line in the United States, according to Women's Wear Daily. Her newest collection, which is inspired by "Fifty Shades Of Grey," includes four bras with bondage-inspired removable straps and lace details, four styles of underwear, a chemise and a kimono, and will be sold on Nordstrom.com as well as two of the store's locations. Prices range from $30 for underwear to $95 for the chemise and kimono.
The model and body activist, who has covered fashion magazines and starred in a slew of campaigns, is a pioneer in the fight to change standards of beauty. The conversation has already begun, thanks largely in part to the work Graham and her colleagues have done to create the plus-size model group ALDA. However, the lack of fashionable options for women of all sizes thus far prevents the shift from becoming a reality. Graham's line is another step in the right direction toward inclusiveness.
When it came to choosing a retailer, the opportunity was a good one for both Nordstrom and Addition Elle. "We currently carry several brands that offer plus sizes in their range, but very few focus solely on serving the plus-size customer," said Kristin Frossmo, Nordstrom's vice president, in a conversation with WWD.
Here's hoping more retailers follow Nordstrom's lead. Head to Addition Elle to see more from Ashley's collection, and be sure to check out the line when it hits Nordstrom.

It is very hard to make a feature film; it takes years of preparation, for film studios to actually complete a single film, hundreds of film crew and millions of dollars in production, now imagine an entire feature film put together by one man Felix Pena, and his executive producer Juan De Jesus.
The film title The Instant Messenger, a film with a micro-budget of only $40,000 and the first feature film by writer and Director Felix Pena and Executive producer Juan De Jesus.
To meet the Micro-budget the director was also the writer, the camera man, DP, editor, in charge of casting, color corrector, special effects artist, ADR, one man behind the production.
The executive producer Juan De Jesus and son Yirensky De Jesus provided the original music themes for the production. Also since time is money, the whole film production had to be filmed within 7 days, to cut time and money.
They filmed an average of 10 to 15 scenes a day, and only filmed on locations. With just the director and executive producer, this film had no crew members what so ever, and filmed in 7 days.
The film tells the story of a young girl in New York City who is forced by her friends to meet a stranger from the internet, only to discover the stranger was a diabolical brutal killer who vows death to the new cyber generation.
Over 40 actors and actress came to be part of the production, and just how the internet unites the world, actors from 14 different countries came to participate on this production, from all ages including the youngest one of all Rebecca Lopez, an 8 month old baby, who had her own solo scene against the killer.
They wanted to do something different so the film had to be put together without leaving New York City to Mexico or without chasing ghost in an abandoned house, they wanted to be creative and at the same time staying on the micro-budget.
The Instant Messenger film is a blueprint for independent future productions, "it proves what can be accomplished with a micro-budget" said Director Felix Pena.
The producers do not encourage to create film without crew members in anyways, in fact the production suggest the more crew members the faster the post-production can be complete, a lot of mistakes do happened during the production part and they have to be fixed in post. Fixing in post-production kept Felix Pena fixing The Instant Messenger in the studios for 2 and a half years just to make up for any correction of something that happened during the production.
In The Instant Messenger we only had $40,000 imagine what we could of have accomplished with more money.
But just how good is The Instant Messenger? A film with no big name like studios demand, in fact it was the first time many of the actors ever acted on a feature film, filmed in 7 days, and also the film crew was just one man Felix Pena and his executive producer Juan De Jesus. To answer that watch the trailer and judge for yourself. The Instant Messenger is now on DVD and Digital Download, to learn more or watch now visit www.theinstantmessenger.com

Video Graphene is said to be the wonder material of our age, but it's largely a 2D affair. Now scientists have made 3D structures out of the stuff that will be an engineer's dream.
Since the first atom-thick strips of graphene were produced, the substance has shown remarkable properties, including extraordinary strength and conductivity. It also has more unusual uses. Now a team at MIT has used heat and pressure to fuse flakes of graphene sheets into 3D shapes that have 4.6 per cent the density of mild steel and are 10 times as strong.
"They are not very useful for making 3D materials that could be used in vehicles, buildings, or devices," admitted Markus Buehler, MIT's McAfee Professor of Engineering. "What we've done is to realize the wish of translating these 2D materials into three-dimensional structures."
The goal of the research, funded in part by the US Office of Naval Research and the Department of Defense, was to discover whether or not graphene could be used as a bulk material to build strong 3D structures that were lighter than air.
The team reports in the journal Science Advances this month that modeling showed that lighter-than-air structures aren't possible without the surrounding air pressure crushing the graphene.
Back to the drawing board. To construct a practical 3D structure out graphene that is super strong and yet still rather light, the boffins turned to gyroids: a sponge-like arrangement invented in the 1970s by NASA engineer Alan Schoen that has no straight lines nor planar symmetries. In mathematical modeling and testing under a hydraulic ram, the team recorded some surprising results that could have wider applications beyond graphene.
In stress testing, plastic gyroid prototypes with thicker walls were able to withstand very heavy loads under the ram before explosively blowing apart. Gyroids with thinner walls crumpled down instead, retaining much structural strength as they did so.
So far, so good. A potentially neat way of arranging graphene into a 3D shape. But this is just lab work for now. Mass-producing the complex graphene gyroid structures is probably beyond traditional manufacturing techniques, the team said: the structures had to be 3D printed for the tests, which has its own limitations.
In future, it may be possible to manufacture the gyroid using a metal or a polymer, coat it with layers of fused graphene, and then remove the molding material to leave the 3D carbon-based structure intact. That's potentially more practical but some way off. In the meantime, the strength and graduated collapsing properties of gyroid structures could well be useful with other, more prosaic, materials.
"You could either use the real graphene material or use the geometry we discovered with other materials, like polymers or metals," Buehler said. "You can replace the material itself with anything. The geometry is the dominant factor. It's something that has the potential to transfer to many things." ®

Potash refers to a group of potassium bearing minerals and chemicals. The most dominant potash product in the market is the compound, potassium chloride (KCl), a naturally occurring, pink, salty mineral. For the most part, potash-bearing rock deposits are derived from the minerals in ancient seas that dried up millions of years ago. Fertilizer potash is principally derived from these potash rocks and requires separation from salt and other minerals.
More than 90% of the potash produced in the world is used for fertilizers. It is one of the three key ingredients for plant growth, which in turn is vital to meet growing food requirements. Its main functions include the production of sugar and starches, and the regulation of water conditions within the plant cells. It is also intimately linked with nitrogen use, by improving the effect of nitrogen fertilizer in the soil. Potassium activates over 60 enzymes which are involved in many important plant physiological processes.
It promotes photosynthesis, and intensifies the storage of assimilates; this is the reason why it is of particular importance for root and tuber crops such as potatoes. It also improves the quality and flavor of the vegetables and fruits. In brief, potassium raises yields and food value, builds disease resistance and improves shipping, handling and storage qualities. It is applied directly to soils, or physically mixed with other nutrients and applied directly, or chemically bound with nitrogen and /or phosphate. In animals, it helps growth and milk production. The most common forms of Potash are Potassium Chloride, Potassium Sulfate and Potassium Nitrate.
The key factors driving the growth of the potash market are growing demand of biofuels, rising global population, rising demand of rice and oil palm and declining arable land. Some of the noteworthy trends and developments of this industry are expansion in emerging countries and optimizing fertilizer application, rebound in potash consumption with favorable crop-to-potash price ratios and introduction of new potash projects. However, the expansion of global potash market is hindered by increasing concern of water availability, oversupply and falling prices of crop.
By combining SPSS Inc.'s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the market. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.

About Faith Baptist Church
Thanks for your interest. We are a community of imperfect people who believe that God has shown us his love supremely in the incarnation, death and resurrection of his own son, Jesus Christ. We know that by nature we were sinners, but that we have been saved by God's sovereign grace through faith in Jesus. Our desire is to live lives that reflect God's grace and make his grace known to others. We know that we can't do this on our own. We are dependent on the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) and the Word of God, the Bible.
In our worship services we typically begin with a short reading from scripture followed by a couple hymns or songs of praise. We take time to publicly share words of praise and thanksgiving to God and we may give an update on one of our missionaries. We might have a portion of scripture the congregation reads aloud and will sing another 3 or 4 songs scattered throughout the service. We take an offering which is another act of worship but we don't expect those who are not members to give to support the church. The pastor or a deacon will pray for the needs of the church during the pastoral prayer and the Pastor will preach a sermon which expounds a passage of scripture. A typical sermon will last 30 to 40 minutes. Overall the service will typically last 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. We celebrate the Lord's Supper (Communion) on the first Sunday of each month.
There is no dress code here. You may see a few men in ties and others in shorts and flip flops (in the summer, of course). Women likewise dress in a variety of styles and traditions. In keeping with what God's word teaches our primary value in how we dress is modesty. Our goal is to glorify God and not draw attention to ourselves.
We are baptist which means that we believe all who come to profess faith in Christ should be baptized by immersion in water as a sign and seal of God's saving grace in their lives.
While we hold this distinctive as important, it is not of primary importance. We welcome you to worship with us and get to know us better regardless of your understanding of this issue.

June 15th: "New Sandwich Arts Alliance to Launch at SandwichFest"
Sandwich, MA – June 15, 2015. The new Sandwich Arts Alliance is proud to announce the launch of the Alliance at SandwichFest on Sat, Jun 27, 10-4, with an Art Show, a Music Tent, a Readers' Tent, a Drama Tent, an Authors' Tent including a Twinning Table with Sandwich, UK representative Jim Marshall, and fun for kids.
"This is really an exciting time, watching our Sandwich Arts Alliance grow so quickly and with such enthusiasm! In January we didn't exist, and now we have four active groups, a great Board of Directors, a membership of 50 in one short month, a database of nearly 200 artists all from Sandwich, and our 501(c)(3) in progress. We've formed a partnership with the Glass Town Cultural District, joined the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, and are sponsoring joint programs with the Town Hall Preservation Trust. This wouldn't have happened if it weren't for everyone willing to share their art, ideas and time", stated Joanne Westerhouse, President.
The Alliance is composed of four groups of artisans and friends who enjoy networking, enhancing their skills, and sharing them with others. The groups are:
Visual Arts Group, led by Margo Mancinelli, is comprised of creative people of all ages, interests and abilities. Members work in two and three dimension in any media.
Literary Arts Group, led by Christie Lowrance and Dean Coe, strives to support writers by developing and promoting writing skills and sales, facilitating contacts, information exchange, and relationships.
Performing Arts Group, led by Todd Hermann, brings together professionals and amateurs who enjoy the magic of performance of all kinds and styles -- music, dance, theater, storytelling, opera, and stagecraft. Collaborating and trying new venues and opportunities is what they do.
Friends of the Arts Group, led by Cindy Russell, is a great fun group which lends their talents and/or support to promote and fund Sandwich's creative arts culture which will strengthen our economy and enhance our quality of life.
Each group's meetings and additional information can be found on our new website at www.sandwichartsalliance.org. Founding Members memberships are now available for $30 per person or $50 per family/dual. Memberships support programs, performances, and exhibitions by local artists, writers and performers. "By joining the Alliance, you will be in at the beginning of a new organization dedicated to making Sandwich an artistic center on Cape Cod", commented Aurora Winters, Volunteer Director.
"Of course branding is very important for the new Alliance group and the Marketing Committee members have creatively risen to the challenge!" commented Cindy Russell, Vice President. Rose Provencher of Splash Stationers' drew inspiration from the Town Hall stenciled ceiling as an early example of Sandwich's artistic endeavors and created a beautiful logo that truly represents our art culture then and now. Donna Rockwell of Do Well Designs' tag line 'Empowering the Arts . . . Enriching the Community' perfectly states the objectives of the Sandwich Arts Alliance. The new website committee of Samantha Hendy and Donna Rockwell are building a website and Facebook page that will be a tell-all about the Alliance news for each group, member, program, event and more. The monthly newsletter by Editor Wade Sayer will be a snapshot of the website with even more news. Sandwich Arts Alliance will have balloons, tee shirts and stickers on hand at SandwichFest thanks to Terri Hendy, Rose Provencher and Cindy Russell. "Logo, tag line, website, Facebook, newsletter, and merchandise – and that is just for starters!" added Ms. Russell.
This ambitious group's first event will be at the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce's SandwichFest on June 27th, on the grounds of the Deacon Eldred House, 4 Water Street, from 10am-4pm exhibiting in six different tents. Many thanks to Jay Pateakos, Chamber Executive Director, and Donna Kutil, SandwichFest Chair, for allowing our group to join their special day. In addition, the Alliance thanks the Glass Town Cultural District, a partner and supporter, for providing the funding for all events. Visit them at their tent next to the Alliance main tent.
The Sandwich Arts Alliance main tent will be located on Water Street. Membership forms will be available to join the Alliance, as well as tee shirts for sale and free balloons and stickers. The Board members will be there to share all the fun and excitement of this new dynamic group.
Right next to the Alliance tent will be the Visual Arts tent featuring an art show of visual arts members and STEM Academy students' creative works for show and sale. Kathryn Kleekamp, Frank Winters, Margaret Ellsworth, Diana Payne, Rita Bernier, Maureen Burbic, Janet Weeks, Ken Wiedemann, Carolyn Wiedemann , June Kershaw, Tina Trites, Alan Budney, Cris Reverdy, Jeff Urquhart, Lenore Lyons, Joanne Westerhouse, Patricia Mosca, Wendy Nelson, Jeanne Hamilton, and Carolyn LeComte are just a few of our local artists whose work will be in the Visual Artists Art Show tent.
Sure to be fun for the kids will be an opportunity "To Be A Star" with lots of fun things to adorn themselves and/or they can be a Lobster (made by Frank Pannorfi). Parents are invited to take their kids pictures.
In the middle of the grounds, under a 20' x 40' tent furnished by the Barnstable Sheriff's Dept. will be author members from the Literary Art group. Noted authors Jim Coogan, Christie Lowrance, Dean Coe, Carolyn LeComte and Shirley Vogel will be there to discuss and sell their books many of which are about Sandwich.
The Sandwich Atlantic Twinning Association (SATA) will also be in the Authors' tent. The Twinning Table will have a collection of gifts, letters, news articles, 'Messages to Massachusetts', brochures and photos given to our town by Sandwich, Kent, England in celebration of our town's 375th anniversary. One of the signed Proclamations between the two towns will be on display along with books by Sandwich, UK authors and the story of the Earl of Sandwich and the creation of the first " sandwich" will be artistically detailed on tea towels and available for sale. There will also be maps of both towns, flags and a sign-up sheet to join the SATA and become an email pal with someone from Sandwich, Kent, England. Wendy King and Dean Coe, Sandwich, MA SATA leaders invite everyone to come meet and greet Jim Marshall who is the head of the SATA in the UK. Jim will be at the table from 10-10:45am and from 1:30 – 4pm and brings greetings from the Mayor and the Earl of Sandwich. Jim will also be representing the SATA as a Sandwich Judge at SandwichFest and planting a tree at Kiwanis Park on the 26th.
The Authors will also be giving readings of their works down by the pond. Everyone is welcome to come and listen starting at:
10:30am Jim Coogan: "Cecelia the Seal gets a Meal"
11:45am Christie Lowrance: Poem "Mary McCorkle and Mrs. O'Shea"
12:00pm Christie Lowrance: "Nature's Ambassador: The Legacy of Thornton W. Burgess"

1:00 pm Dean Coe: "Chesterton's Scary Breakfast"
1:30pm Shirley Vogel: "Faith, Favorites, Fun, and Fotos of Cape Cod"
2:00pm Glyn Dowden: Original Poems
The Performing Arts group will be represented in two different tents. The striped tent located behind the Deacon Eldred House will host music members:
10:00am John Williams
10:30am Rumble Wagon: Greg Polanik/Steve McElheny
11:15am Kim Moberg and Ric Allendorf
12:00pm Sam Holmstock
1:00pm Brian Sances Duet
