Product Highlights
This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
With its single-cutaway design and onboard Fishman Isys+ Preamp System, the C5-CE SB from Cordoba is a nylon-string acoustic/electric guitar styled in a high-gloss PU finish with an eye-catching sunburst top. The top is crafted of solid Sitka spruce, while the back and sides are fashioned from African mahogany. This lends the instrument a clear, crisp, and more focused sound compared to other models in the same series which sport cedar tops. A wood mosaic inlay rosette adorns the soundhole, and other appointments, such as maple binding, maple back-and-side purfling, and maple/ebony top purfling, round out the aesthetics of the body.
Its neck is slightly thinner than Cordoba's traditional Spanish Classical guitar models, offering a narrow 50mm nut width. In addition, the neck has a standard scale length of 25.6", a C-shaped profile, and a rosewood fingerboard complete with 19 frets. Mother-of-pearl side dot marker inlays at the fifth, seventh, and ninth frets help you to navigate your way around the fingerboard. Deluxe gold tuning machines with pearl buttons secure the strings to the headstock, while an Indian rosewood bridge affixes strings to the body. A bone nut and saddle offer additional resonance and clarity on open strings. Finally, by means of a two-way adjustable truss-rod, you can fine-tune the action of the guitar, if needed, to compensate for changes in string tension or climate.
For electronics, this guitar is equipped with a Fishman Isys+ Preamp System and Sonicore undersaddle pickup. The preamp provides controls for volume, two tonal controls for bass and treble, as well as a phase switch for inverting polarity on stage, thereby fighting feedback. An onboard tuner is also included, rounding out the electronics.

Cincinnati�At noon on March 18, UC's graduating medical students
along with senior medical students across the country, will learn where
they will be doing their residency training. The suspense and sense of
expectation will be obvious as 138 medical students await to hear the
results. Each student has applied for residency training in his or her
programs of choice, and each hopes to "match" with their preferred
medical school and teaching hospital.
A medical residency usually
lasts from three to five years. Each student ranks their application
sites in order of preference, and shortly before "Match Day" their
choices are matched to the responses from universities and teaching
hospitals. These matches are carefully prepared and waiting in sealed
envelopes for the medical students who will learn their fate in room
E351 of the Medical Sciences Building, in the UC Medical Center. The
sealed envelopes will be randomly drawn by assistant dean of the UC
College of Medicine Dorothy Air, PhD, and Richard Drake, PhD, UC
professor of anatomy and cell biology. Each student opens his or her
own envelope to reveal the name of their hospital match site.

French & Grace, Brixton
Taking the weekend off with Norse by Norsewest.
We first met French & Grace to have a chat about our Guardian Masterclasses, but ended up volunteering to take over their fab little restaurant in Brixton Village for them whilst they went off to set up shop at a music festival for the weekend.
They moved out on Thursday night, we moved in on Friday morning, and opened for business for three days and nights of Scandinavian small plates and a fun weekend of Norse by Norsewest.
We love Brixton Village and we put a great little food/drink menu together to work in a challengingly titchy space. We made lots of new friends whilst we were there, including Åbro and Evil Twin, two tasty Swedish beers, and had a fun weekend of market life.
A great weekend of food and drink in Brixton

The four men who were on trial in February for operating the Pirate Bay BitTorrent site have been convicted of violating Sweden's copyright law.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Peter Sunde, Fredrik Neij and Carl Lundstrom were each sentenced to one year each in prison. They were also fined $3.6 million to pay to the entertainment companies in the lawsuit, including Warner Bros., Sony Music Entertainment, EMI and Columbia Pictures.
The court found the defendants guilty of helping users commit copyright violations "by providing a Web site with … sophisticated search functions, simple download and storage capabilities, and through the tracker linked to the Web site."
The site was still operational after the verdict.
According to CNET, the Pirate Party political group— which is based on the idea that copyrights should be nonexistent— sees the verdict as an opporunity.
The Pirate Party political group–which has been supporting Pirate Bay and thus has gained popularity among the large number of file sharers in Sweden–also sees the verdict as an opportunity. The verdict is the "ticket to get elected to European parliament" in June, the Pirate Party said in a press release.

San Francisco
Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown.
Thanks for stopping over my blog to comment on our wedding photos. I love looking at other people`s wedding shots too!Did you used to live in the US or were you just visiting? I have never been but I hope to make it there one day.I love that Chinatown, in any country, always has the same feel about it.
I went to Chinatown in LA and loved all the little shops…
Lulu – I was just visiting, in early 2008. I've loved almost everywhere I've visited in the USA (San Francisco & Hawaii) and I want to explore more … I don't think I could make it my home though.Annie – I've spent a lot of time in LA but only ever LAX so it doesn't really count. Like Lulu, I've pretty much loved every chinatown I've been to. I was only disappointed by one – Melbourne, Australia. I think I was expecting too much.

4 Bald spots also are of two kinds. In both,[p. 183] owing to the dying of the surface pellicle, hairs are at first rendered thin, and then they fall out; and when the place is cut into, the blood which flows is thin and malodorous. Both kinds spread, in some quickly, in others slowly; the worse kind is that in which the skin has become thick, somewhat fatty, and quite smooth. But that which is named alopecia spreads without defined configuration. It occurs in the hairy scalp or in the beard. That again which is called from its shape ophis, commences at the back of the head, and without exceeding two fingers in breadth, creeps forward to the ears with two heads, in some even to the forehead, until the two heads join one another in front. The former affection occurs at any age, the latter generally in young children. The former scarcely ever terminates, such under treatment, the latter often by itself. Some scarify these bald patches with a scalpel; some smear on caustics mixed with oil, and especially burnt papyrus; some apply turpentine-resin with fennel. But there is nothing better than to shave the part daily with a razor, because as the surface skin is gradually removed, the hair roots become exposed; and the treatment should continue until a number of hairs are seen to be growing up. Following upon the shaving it is sufficient to smear on Indian ink.

Do as I Say and (Not?) as I Do or How Teachers of Writing Write.
Metzger, Elizabeth
An informal survey was conducted of high school and college English teachers to examine whether they taught writing the way they actually wrote or by some other method. In response to a question about the piece of writing each teacher regarded as his or her best, all considered the best pieces to be undergraduate or graduate school assignments, motivated by forces other than the self. Most said that they worked under the pressure of deadlines, but unlike students were better predictors of how much time they needed to complete a task and were better managers of that time. This finding suggests that giving students controlled, well-paced, sequenced deadlines is a legitimate and fair method for getting them started and keeping them going. The survey revealed that many teachers did not write with ease and that some disliked writing. Such a confession to students might be very motivating. Finally, most teachers who answered the survey indicated that the circumstances in which they wrote were usually very confused and often involved a great deal of procrastination. It may be a source of amusement and, subsequently, inspiration to students to learn that English teachers, though organized and efficient in the classroom, sometimes generate mass confusion while writing in the seclusion of their own homes.

My friend Brennah saw this tree branch yesterday and snatched it up for me. Much thanks homie, thinking this one will show up in one of the next 3 paintings I'm doing for the Wheeler open house in May. Going simple again with themes with Land, Sea, and Sky, using women and elements from each setting to fill the surface. I'll post the sketches once I have a chance to get to a scanner : / Mines still busted.
Music is cool. Really want to check out a Black Keys album. Herd this song at work yesterday by them, called " Tighten up," nice old school feel, really sick. Then 2 other bands I wanna check out, and hopefully isn't just a one song band, are Heartless Bastards and Gil Scott Herron. The Gil Scott Herron song is the devil and me I think, and I can't remember what Heartless Bastards did. Much love to the Serrius Radio at work... sometimes, esp when it's not Monday and hipster run off is on. You suck dude, and I hate your program. Seriously just rambles off bs while trying to sound like a " hipster" that probably isn't even old enough to remember Kurt Cobain shooting himself. Meh, what ever, dude can have his show, I just block out his DBin.

First pass with oil color
Just going in and redefining the shapes and color of the foreground elements before I do a Galkyd glaze and then another oil wash darker than the previous one. This is going to take a while to dry before I can do the glaze, so I'll have to let it sit for a few days if not a week and work on some other paintings. Stay tuned.

Acrylic color and oil wash added
Did several steps in the whole process today. Started off finishing out the values, then added the transparent acrylic color, and then finally the first burnt umber and Italian yellow ochre oil wash. Thinking pf adding more dark washes after I erase some of this one out, but won't know until I see how light or dark the final result is of the wash. Sorry for the last crappy picture, the image is getting blurred by the above lights, I'll try and take a better pic in the morning from natural lighting. Stay tuned.

And the first wash...
Yea, this is going to be interesting. I'm going to have to keep a lot of areas that are to dark way lighter while constantly darkening the foreground elements to keep them as the focus. After the first wash I did just that, darkened the foreground and added highlights to it as well. I'll post more as I go.
Oh and I took a pic of the first wash under some low light, Looks pretty dope. I might have to pull that into photoshop and make a digital companion to this piece, if I don't get tired of it before that.

seriously..... the final drawing, I promise.
Really need to stop working on this under drawing and get started painting. It's not a horrible thing, really happy with this drawing feels real solid, but the darker it is the harder it'll be for me to cover that up with bright colors with out using opaque strokes of paint. For the next painting I'm going to have to make sure I focus more on the line work, less one the tones early on, then use the paint to really push the darks and lights.

Salt Tree
Worked on this a bit at work today, added the coiled ferns and got some more defined line work in. Got home, took a nap and woke up at 130 and added some zinc white to the foreground elements. Then I added a bunch of zinc white to cover up my measuring lines, this comes at the cost of losing what I did to the background but thems the brakes. Going to let this dry, add some matte medium over the zinc white, add some more darks with charcoal, spray and matte finish it, then I'll be ready to apply the yellow ochre acrylic wash over the whole thing.
Herd Ween is coming.
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros too in June.
Some one else is coming but I can't think of it now.
Need money for shows Gah!

More refined
Worked on this a lil before work this morning. Solidified the star with measurements and redrew the tree branch from a still life. Much happier, now I'm debating weather or not to add ferns again.

Some recent sketches
My scanner broke a week ago, or at least it won't scan, probably some windows 7 update that's conflicting, I tried to fix it, but got bored and decided to just wait and use my friends. So these are in no order or anything, just some of the ones I did most recently that I felt like sharing.

Added this background, fixed up on this other image that was bothering me, did some research on ferns for visual reference and various meanings and mythology. Going back to bed now g'night!

Clock Work
Again with the awake on a Sat morning. Decided to get out my guitar finally and start playing again, at least to learn a few songs that I've been wanting to. Think its been since late high school the last time I wanted to learn some new stuff. That was over 10 years ago, damn I'm starting to get old! Restrung the electric and thinking of getting a cheap amp off craig's list, and then gotta restring the acoustic. Gonna go look for some branches outside now to draw under some directional lighting. For some reason, I dunno, it's 3:40 AM.
This made a loud noise about 20mins when I broke it off of the dead tree out back in the lil court yard of my apt complex..... I promise the tree is and has been dead for a long while. Been looking at branches a bit the last few days and this on seemed to be the best for what I wanted shape wise.

Thursday night life painting 03/18/10
Thursday night session went well, pretty happy with the results. Worked on the background a bit more before starting the figure, and went in with opaque color on the figure to begin with rather than building up my tones slowly. I feel this better utilizes the point of digital media to do quick opaque paintings, focusing on color and shape more closely rather than a slow build up of tones an value. Finished this up in 2 1/2 hours.
Went to Dorman St. again afterwords, met this couple from NY and won 3 games of pool against the husband, think his name was Josh? Nice people.
Good night.

Posted by Brian Mumphrey at 11:17 PM
Now it's finished.
And I'm headed to Dorman St. I love this bar, reminds me a lot of the places I went to in Savannah. I'll take some pictures and post em. Probably the best thing I've been introduced to since I moved back here 5 years ago. Really wish I had found it sooner, but what ever, it's there now, so time to enjoy.

Finished!..... almost.
Waiting on the outlines to dry then I'll add a final galkyd glaze. Pretty happy with the out come, but I'll have to work on my line weight and control as I get used to using oils like an inking brush. The previous glaze makes it easy to wipe away mistakes so I get some practice in.

Reworking the drawings
Last one and I'm going to bed. I'll update this post later today when the gesso dries and I work on the drawings some more, but I'm reworking these two. Also added some texture, these are going to get the sane painting style as the last post.
Posted by Brian Mumphrey at 7:20 AM
Do I look 17?
Got carded for a pack of smokes the other day. And not just a " We card everyone" thing either, this lady looked hard at my id, had me take it out, and then reluctantly gave me a pack of cigs claiming it didn't look like me. Maybe she thought it was fake, but why would I have a fake id at 28? Do I seriously look like I'm 11 years younger than I really am? I'm not even pissed, I'm just impressed.
Here's an updated on the test I'm doing with texture for a new set of images. since I'm jumping back and forth between so much I added what the last step looked like for comparison.

4am again!
woke up again at 4, but this time cause my dog has been having some, ah, problems. Anyways so I decided to stay up for a min and work on a few quick things. Finally putting the galkyd glaze on the cleaver painting and I'm a lil anxious/nervous. So far it has definitely punched up the color a bit, but it also seems to have a lot of little bumps and bubbles that don't really show up head on, but do under angled lights. I took an extra picture to show what I'm talking about. Thinking I might need to cut the galkyd with mineral spirits a bit just to have it go on smoother and maybe cut down the bubbles, but maybe I'll get lucky and a lot of them will disappear during the drying/oxidizing process. This will hopefully take only a day or 2 to dry but not totally sure just yet. Once that's done I'll apply the line work and maybe one more finally glaze before its done.

How soon is now?
The only Smiths song I know, but it pretty much sums up the 80's for me. Really need to make an 80's mix, it's been so long since I nered out and listened to all the music I grew up on. Not trying to say the 80's was the best time, but damn there's some music from that time that I just don't think life would be the same with out. Probably the decade with the most 1 hit wonders and I think that makes them all that much better.
Took a step back on my painting, which is the point of a test. There just wasn't enough texture, so I decided to add some with gesso, and not to mention a chance to redraw the image again which will lead me to a happier out come.... I hope.

Feeling this.
Having a blast. I've been thinking of painting this way for a while ever since I saw Ashley Woods work. This is truly the most fun I've had in a while, and I think it was about time I really looked at the way I produce my work and find a process that didn't feel monotonous and dull. I like the way I painted before, don't get me wrong, although it just wasn't me I think and that's why it was like pulling teeth to get an image done, where as for this one I'm having a hard time walking away. This is the second wash, just some burnt umber loosely applied, the next step being a darker color and a lighter color to push the contrast even more. I think next time I'll leave less white of the board though, as it seems to be to bright at this point in certain areas.

The test
Probably cheating on the whole blog thing, posting 3 times in one day, but what ever. Here's the test image I'm starting a quick drawing on a cheap canvas board, just going to slap this one on to get an idea of what the hell I'm doing for this new way I want to paint.
Posted by Brian Mumphrey at 4:08 PM
Spreadin salt
The initial drawing for the second image I've started today. This one will have a portrait in the center of the ornate structure as well adding the skull of salt on the banner, the salt symbol itself just doesn't do it for me. Going to do a practice run of a quick simple image before I start on these, but I'm definitely going to be leaving these a lot less colorful and more messy with drips and light washes. Got an image in my head and I need to figure out how to get it on these boards.
Posted by Brian Mumphrey at 1:45 PM
With renewed vigor. Got up early, dunno how but guess my body wasn't into sleeping, considering I went to bed at past midnight, woke up at 4 am, stayed up until 730 and woke back up at 930, but I guess that's 5 hours which is what I used to sleep like. Sleeping to much, it's a sign of trying to avoid things, so maybe this is a good thing. Focus focus. Reworked the drawing from last night this morning and starting another. So anxious to see Mastodon, listening to them right now, getting mucho work done today.
This is the sketch I'm drawing from, it's been posted before, but figured it'd be nice for comparison. I try to draw everything I do at least 3 times to get a better feeling for how I want it done. Easier to step back and let the changes help rather than fret over them.
Posted by Brian Mumphrey at 11:57 AM
Can't Sleep
Started this drawing when I woke up, but will probably adjust the living hell out of it before I start painting. Thinking of trying some very loose oil washes on this one, letting it drip and pool on the surface, leaving it rather messy looking.

Salt Ship
Just a clay board with ink applied then scratched off, then reapplied ect ect. Had fun doing this and think I'll do more with similar content, or at least the little skull with the salt symbol will be popping up a bunch.

Final painting
The lighting in my apt made this picture come out very golden yellow, which I might do as a final glaze right before the line work to be honest. I'll have to see, but that will rack on another 4 or 5 days of waiting, but I think it'll be worth it.

Clutch and Mastodon
Are both gonna be in Indy in April. Really looking forward to next month, haven't been to a good show in way to long. Here's 2 more sketches of these bronze busts I'm doing, now that I have some ideas that I'm happy with I have to practice painting corroded bronze and metals. I'll post more as they come along, as well as the skull cleaver painting test that is coming along quite well but it's slow because of having to wait for the oil to oxidize more before layering on Galkyd as a glaze.

FBI's Most Wanted.
But we are truly excited to see Fast Company's list of the 100 Most Creative People in Business in 2015 where even the "bottom" of the list includes amazing innovators in science, technology, family and global health. It is a beautiful diverse group of men and women alike who have lived lives of intent, followed their passion, and in turn, are currently impacting the world for the better.
After the 2012 fast food workers' strike, Mary Kay Henry organized a nation-wide movement to demand a livable wage for those employees. Cameron Piron is a physicist but he's bringing the human body to light in new ways with the help of technology. His modified MRI allows brain surgeons to see 3D interactive versions of a patient's brain to improve diagnosis and surgery precision. Aging is getting easier with the help of brilliant ideas and tools from Aging 2.0's Katy Fike and, at the top of the list? A treatment for ebola developed from tobacco plants started the year by saving the lives of two America aid workers infected while serving in Liberia. The creator? You may never find him on the cover of a celebrity gossip magazine, but Charles Arntzen, of Arizona State University's Center for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, is doing work that is immensely important to a global community.
We are so proud of the Top 100, knowing that there are many more who will never be on a list yet they are still doing amazing things to bring purpose, peace and joy to everyone they meet. Maybe you'll be on the list in 2016? We can't wait to read all about it!
Get inspired. Read the list here.

Neuralgia is pain in a nerve pathway. Generally, neuralgia isn't an illness as such, but a symptom of injury or a particular disorder. In many cases, the cause of the pain is not known. Older people are most susceptible, but people of any age can be affected. Almost everyone will experience mild neuralgia at some point, but these bouts are usually temporary and tend to ease by themselves within a few days. Some types of neuralgia are long lasting, debilitating and so agonising that a person's quality of life is severely reduced.
Causes of Neuralgia are infection, Multiple Sclerosis, pressure on nerves, Diabetes Mellitus, Disc herniation / Spinal stenosis, kidney disease, thyroid hormone abnormality, excess growth hormone, vitamin deficiency (B1, B6, B12, niacin), alcoholism, vasculitis / blood vessel disease, tumor formation/onset of cancer, repetitive stress injury (such as carpal tunnel syndrome), toxin exposure (arsenic, lead, mercury, thallium & others), prescription medications (chemotherapeutic agents, anti-seizure medications, antibiotics others)
Symptoms of neuralgia can include:
- Localised pain
- The area may be excruciatingly sensitive to touch and any pressure is felt as pain
- The pain can be sharp or burning, depending on the affected nerve
- The muscles may spasm
Through the combination of Classical Homoeopathy, Ayurvedic-Unani formulations and Internationally Acclaimed Advanced Physiotherapy, pain due to Neuralgia is reduced considerably and rejuvenation of the affected area begins.
To avail safe and non-invasive treatment for Neuralgia, consult the specialists of Zilaxo Advanced Pain Solution.
- Neck Pain (Cervical Spondylosis)
- Shoulder Pain (Frozen Shoulder)
- Low Back Pain
- Knee Pain

Shahbaz leaves for London to meet Nawaz
LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Sunday departed for London to inquire after the health of his elder brother Nawaz Sharif's wife Kulsoom Nawaz undergoing treatment there, ARY News reported.
He will also hold meeting with the former prime minister, who is currently in Saudi Arabia and expected to fly back to London soon.
On Oct 23, Nawaz Sharif arrived in Riyadh to perform Umrah along with his mother and meet his Saudi friends to win their support in the wake of challenges he had been facing at home since his disqualification.
As per earlier reports, he was to return back home from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to appear before an accountability court in Islamabad, but he stays put and is likely to go back to London.
On Thursday, the accountability court had issued bailable warrants for his arrest in two references after he failed to show up before it. It had dismissed his application seeking exemption from personal appearance before it.
Sharif and his sons – Hussain and Hassan – have been named in three corruption references, while his daughter Maryam and her husband retired Captain Safdar have been named in single graft reference related to the family's London flats.

The story of a taxi drivers search for meaning
June 3, 2011 § Leave a comment
…. (or how to get the management information your business needs)
A taxi driver from New Zealand was recently featured as part of a review of the future of the internet by Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle, two of the world's recognised leaders in the sector. What caught their eye, was not his erudite views on politics or fellow drivers, but his understanding and use of readily available technology to make a real impact on his business.
For a six week period, the taxi driver kept a log of all fares (GPS, weather, passenger and three other variables). He put the data into his computer and did some analysis to work out where he should be at any given point in the day to maximise his take. The outcome? He is making a very nice living with much less work than other taxi drivers.
The ability to draw on multiple sources of information, and combine them to give greater meaning and understanding is one of the key themes for the future of the internet. It is also of significant relevance to business today.
Does your business have the relevant management information (MI) it requires to make key strategic decisions? Are you getting real meaning from your MI?
4 steps to take
1 Understand the information that you need to run the business.
2 Plan how to get this information
3 Combine the information to give meaning
4 Present the key findings
The temptation in a process like this is to deliver a volume of detailed information, at which point the meaning is then lost.
The output should be a review of the key indicators (as noted earlier – around five) with commentary to interpret that information. Making reference to budgets or trends will help reinforce the analysis.

Surfing the Silver Coast
Costa de Prata Surf Guide – Nazaré to Aveiro
Silver Coast
Surf Guides
Viewed on a map this bit of Portugal's coastline does not look like a promising surf spot – a long stretch of featureless beaches fully exposed to the wind and whatever destructive forces the Atlantic chooses to throw at it. But look a little closer and there is plenty to get excited about – kicking off with Nazaré's legendary monster-making North Canyon and winding northwards along miles and miles of deserted beaches. There are some surprising breaks to be found here, curling off the occasional headland and stacking up over hidden reefs. It's a vast area in which you are virtually guaranteed to find an empty wave.
Praia da Vila da Nazaré
The wave: Only really works when the swells are big which is mostly in the winter. A headland to the north of the town provides shelter from damaging winds. In the summer the beach and sea are packed with holiday makers and waves are often not worth bothering with. When working it delivers several right and left handed beach breaks along the length of the beach.
Best conditions: Offshore wind is easterly but can work in anything from northeasterly to southerly. Swells are best when they come from the west.
Typical swell: 3 to 16 foot
Access: Easy parking on the edge of the beach. Very busy in the summer.
Watch out for: Rips
Praia do Norte – Nazaré
The wave: Epic. One of the most famous waves in the world. Also known as North Canyon. This is where Garrett McNamara surfed the biggest wave ever ridden, a monster 100 footer thrown up by the unique geological formations hidden below the sea at Praia do Norte. When pumping this is a tow-in wave for pros only – and they don't attempt it without jet-ski back up. Even on normal days the wave can be huge, with a heavy bone and board crushing lip and deep, hollow beach peaks. This one of a kind wave goes both ways over a sand bottom. It can be truly deadly and should not be surfed alone when it gets over 6 foot. Mornings are often calmer. As there are not that many surfers brave or skilled enough to ride this monster it is rarely busy out there.
Best conditions: Swells from the southwest to north, winds easterly. Low to mid tide.
Costa da Prata Surf
– Nazaré to Figueira da Foz
'Wave' icon from a design by Carol Ourivio from the Noun Project.
Typical swell: 3 to 20 foot
Access: A dirt track leads down to the beach where there is limited parking. Better to park at the top and walk down.
Watch out for: The wave – that lip is like a concrete block when it falls. Currents. Rocks. Thieves in the car park (don't leave anything valuable in your car, even if it is locked).
São Pedro do Moel
The wave: A beach break going left and right over a bottom of sand and rock. A fun, powerful wave that works often and is seldom crowded.
Best conditions: Swells from the west and southwest, winds easterly or northeasterly.
Typical swell: 3 to 10 foot
Access: Beach is in front of the town. Parking in the summer time is very limited but the rest of the year is not a problem.
Watch out for: Rocks, territorial locals.
The wave: A right and left-handed beach break over a sand bottom. Waves most days but recommended for experienced surfers only. The ride is fast and fun, up to 150 metres long on normal days and as long as 300 metres when conditions are perfect.
Best conditions: Northwesterly swells with an offshore east to southeasterly.
Access: Easy Access to the beach by car.
Cabedelo – Figueira da Foz
The wave: Fast and hollow right-hander breaking off a long jetty just south of Figueira da Foz. The crowds reflect its reputation as one of the better waves along this part of the coast. Sand bottom, waves start working on 3 foot swells and hold to over 10 foot.
Best conditions: South to northwesterly swells on an incoming tide with wind from the northeast.
Typical swell: 3 to 10 foot
Access: Easy Access by road, free parking.
Watch out for: Pollution from the river; rocks, rips and sea urchins.
Costa da Prata Surf
– Figueira da Foz to Aveiro
'Wave' icon from a design by Carol Ourivio from the Noun Project.
Buarcos – Figueira da Foz
The wave: A right handed point break that on the best days seems to go on forever. Long, carving rides of up to 500 metres are achievable here when conditions are right. The land mass jutting out to the north protects it from damaging winds. And it is empty, even on the weekends. This stretch of coastline has several other fun breaks to explore.
Best conditions: Winds easterly. Swells from anywhere between the west and north.
Typical swell: 4 to 12 foot
Access: Easy – free parking in front of most surf spots and a bus service along the coast which stops at most of them.
Watch out for: Rocks
The wave: An out of the way beach break that rewards those who brave the dirt roads to get there with waves that are fun and powerful from spring through to autumn. Recommended for experienced surfers only, this wave can be dangerously brutal in the winter. Waves go right and left over a sandy bottom. Empty most of the time.
Best conditions: Winds from the southeast, east and northeast; swells from the northwest, west and southwest.
Access: Narrow tracks (4 x 4 is recommended) lead to Murtinheira from Buarcos and Quiaios. The beach is in front of the village.
Watch out for: Rips
Praia da Tocha
The wave: A hollow, powerful beach break going in both directions. Friendly locals and uncrowded most of the time.
Best conditions: Winds from the southeast, east and northeast; swells from the northwest, west and southwest.
Typical swell: 1 to 6 foot
Access: Easy – beach is right in front of the village.
Watch out for: Rips and undertow.
Praia de Mira
The wave: Beach break going right and left which pretty much disappears at low tide when offshore sandbars tear the heart out of the swells. Fairly empty most of the time. Sandy bottom. There are other uncrowded beaches nearby worth exploring.
Best conditions: Northwest to northerly swells, east wind, mid to high tide.
Typical swell: 1 to 6 foot
Access: In front of the resort village of Praia de Mira.
Watch out for: Fishing buoys.
Praia da Vagueira
The wave: A small, fast and powerful right-hander coming off a jetty. Not often crowded and the locals are friendly. There are other surf spots further south if you fancy exploring.
Best conditions: East to southeasterly wind, swell from the northwest or west.
Typical swell: 3 to 5 foot
Access: Two minutes walk to the south of the main beach.
Watch out for: Rocks; strong currents when the tide comes in.
Praia da Barra – Aveiro
The wave: When the swell is right the wave coming off the breakwater is fast and fun with sandbars beneath throwing up some great shapes. It's a well-known beach in front of the town so it gets busy at the weekends – but the locals are mostly friendly.
Best conditions: Easterly winds with swells coming from the south to northwest. Works on all tides.
Typical swell: 2 to 8 foot
Access: Right in front of the town so it is easy to find but parking can be a problem when busy.

Dear Danielle
Dear Danielle,
I have thought deeply about you for the past three days, even though we didn't know each other well. I am certain that words do not yet exist to express the grief that so many people are experiencing. When I heard of your passing, I thought surely the information had been crossed somewhere. Someone so vibrant, so loving, so young, couldn't possibly be gone. Life isn't fair, not even a little bit, but life especially wasn't fair on Sunday, March 27, 2016. In hindsight, I deeply regret not hugging you more, not listening to you more intently, & for not pushing the standard How are you? with more sincerity.
The last time I saw you was at Tayla's baby shower. We sat across from each other & for the first time, we were able to talk about topics unrelated to work. I remember that you were frustrated with your plumber because he was terrible at keeping his appointments with you. You not only made everyone laugh in hysterics about the plumber, but you beamed with joy in sharing every story. I learned about you that afternoon & we both agreed that we needed to see each other outside of work soon. But, life happened to both of us. Our schedules were demanding. I wish I could go back to that day so I could hug you & never let you go. To look you in the eyes & tell you that I love you & that I am here for you. That you have an army of supporters, ready to brave the fight with you.
From the outside looking in, you were the ideal woman who had it all. You were warm, kind, gentle. Beautiful, with a million-dollar-smile that no one could possibly ignore. Your ponytails always made me jealous, each thick strand of hair bouncing in perfect unison with your footsteps. You were so vibrant & colorful in the way you lived your life. Your sense of humor was absolutely delightful. You had priceless friends. You travelled, took killer selfies, dressed like a queen, & smiled with such genuineness.
Danielle, I know what your life looked like from the outside... but I wonder what your life looked like from the inside, especially now. You, such a stunning soul, were enduring such brutal suffering, yet you seemed to glide through life effortlessly. You made life look easy, despite the many silent battles you faced. You fought for so long, so beautifully, until the force of life's waves crashed around you in such a violent manner that you were unable to keep your head above the water. So you took one last breath & you let go.
Although I am grateful you are no longer in pain, I am heartbroken that your family & friends will have to face each coming morning without you. The days seem longer, the nights seem unending, & the sleep waivers. You were a blessing on this earth to each of us. We are reminded of you, we feel you here with us, & not a moment passes that we do not think of you. I hope you can feel our love for you & know that you were never alone. Even though you are no longer physically here with us on earth, you will always remain a beautiful friend, a beautiful soul, & a beautiful human being.
You are home now. The ocean, with every ripple against the shore, will carry your pain in its tides so you no longer need to bear it. Rest in heavenly peace, my sweet angel. Until we meet again.

What not to wear
Each college has its own dress code. HTHorizons looks at some prominent institutes around the city and finds out how students work around the code to express their individualityeducation Updated: Jun 22, 2011 09:49 IST
You are what you wear, but make sure you wear a subtler version of yourself when you go to college. Each institution has its own character, which comes with its individual set of rules – the breach of which could result in embarrassment, in addition to a bad impression. The dress code varies in each college in several ways, sometimes even within a college. For instance, in RA Podar College, the BMS section has an entirely different dress code from the rest of the college – compulsary formals every alternate day and blazers for presentations, for both boys and girls. A college's dress code has little to do with the quality of its academics or its student body, but is more of a reflection of its founding philosophy and idea of appropriateness. Here are some sample dress codes from colleges across the city.
St Xavier's College
A Jesuit institution, St Xavier's has a much-publicised conservative code of conduct. One of the first colleges to crack down on sleeveless tops, shorts and skirts that fell above the knee, the college's strict dress code dates back to 1997 when the principal banned the annual prom because girls 'dressed inappropriately'. Currently, students must turn up in modest clothes — shoulders and ankles covered. Dresses and skirts that fall below the knee are allowed, but not pants that don't go up till the feet. "The dress code is non-negotiable," says Trinette D'Souza, an FYJC science student. "You'll find people on campus all dressed in jeans, loose T-shirts or kurtas and slippers. But you can always experiment with different types of pants, where bright and bold prints and accessorise with funky belts, bangles and hairbands."
RA Podar College
As TYBcom student Ruchita Desai puts it, the culture at Podar College is "not very glam", so the dress code is built to suit the same. "It's a simple college. Over the last year, it's suddenly become much more strict about its dress code, though, doing away with shorts and short skirts."
According to Kinnari Rathod, SYBCom student, the dress code does come in the way of her individuality. "While I do stick to it, sometimes I feel like there's no difference between school and college with such a strict dress code. You can wear sleeveless, but they have to be of a certain kind – no spaghetti straps, tank tops or T-backs. I think we're old enough to know what's appropriate, and should be able to make those decisions ourselves, as adults."
Sophia College
This all-girls college, well-known for its artsy design programmes, also has its share of rules. "Students have to dress properly – it can't be party wear or beach wear, but has to be a modest middle-ground," says Margarida Colaco, BMM coordinator. "While we don't wish to control what the girls wear outside college, within the class there must be a level of decorum. No short skirts, revealing tops or clothes that are explicitly tight which may attract unnecessary attention."
Shruti Ashokan, a student of TYBA (seen above in harem pants), thinks the dress code is restrictive, since eliminating shorts and skirts take away from comfort, especially in the hot and monsoon months. "College is the age where you can experiment with your outfits, without worrying about whether you're too young or too old," she says. "However, I guess it does make practical sense since most of us travel by bus or train to get to class. We find ways to remain creative within the dress code, though. For instance, I'd wear a kurta with jeans, but with a feathered hairband. Or trousers with a formal top, but with chunky Indian jewellery. Use scarves or shrugs when you want to wear a top that won't be well-received on its own."
Beware: if you're caught wearing something the nuns disapprove of, they will make you change into something from a closet kept for these incidents and according to the students, you would rather wear your own modest clothes than something that comes out of that closet!
DY Patil Dental College
While the college doesn't have a formal dress code, there are unwritten rules that demand propriety, especially since students interact with patients outside of the college. "You can wear anything as long as its decent, but you would know not to put on a revealing top if you have to treat a patient," says Upasana Desai, a student of dentistry. The culture is more jeans-and-T-shirts, for both the boys and the girls, and slightly more semi-formal since it is a medical college. However, you spend most of your time with the lab coat on, so students say the dress code doesn't hold as much importance.
St Andrew's college
Stricter than a lot of other colleges, St Andrew's Bandra has banned not just sleeveless tops and skirts, but even capris. "You're not even allowed to fold your jeans during the monsoon," says Melissa D'Souza, an FYJC student (seen above with a backpack). Both boys and girls can't show their ankles. By that virtue, skirts and dresses aren't allowed either.
Even within the jeans and T-shirt routine, students must be careful. T-shirts with bold messages across them, especially messages to do with boyfriends/girlfriends, are disallowed.

Homemade Granola~~ I found it here!
3 - cups uncooked old fashioned oats
1 - stick + 1 tablespoon real butter
2/3 - cup honey
1/4 - cup light brown sugar
1/4 - teaspoon salt
1 - tablespoon cinnamon sugar
1/2 - cup wheat germ
3/4 - cup almond pieces
3/4 - cup pecan pieces
First melt the butter in a 3 - quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey and salt and briefly heat with the butter. In a separate bowl mix together the oatmeal, wheat germ, nuts, brown sugar and cinnamon sugar. Turn off the heat and add the oatmeal mixture. Stir until everything is coated. Pour the mixture onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Spread the mixture out evenly and bake it at 375° for 10 minutes (watch carefully) It will be a golden brown color. Remove from the oven and let cool. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
I used my little hand chopper to chop up the nuts in smaller pieces. Not to small you want a few good size pieces.

Jesus Christ that was a depressing game, looks like it might be time to re-evaluate our expectations of the Patriots this season. A full game review will be on tap for tomorrow, I need a day to process this shit show, lets just leave it at this: it was VERY UGLY. You could blame Cassel for this loss, but lets be serious it was the defense who was the biggest disappointment today. FUCK.

LA MESA — Monte Vista High School's man-to-man defense shut down Mount Miguel to lead the Monarchs to a 54-47 victory Friday night in a game that decided the Grossmont League's top seed to the San Diego Section 3-A basketball playoffs.
Monte Vista's victory at Grossmont broke an 11-game Mount Miguel winning streak and marked the third time the Monarchs had won in four meetings between the teams this season. Mount Miguel's last loss was to the Monarchs at Monte Vista in mid-January.
Mount Miguel routed Monte Vista, 59-41, two weeks ago at home. In that game, Monte Vista could not hit its outside shots.
Mount Miguel suffered a similar fate Friday night. The Matadors tried to compensate by getting the ball inside. But Monte Vista's defense moved in for the steal whenever the Matadors tried to get the ball inside.

In England, the soap opera 'Coronation Street' is as much an institution as the Queen herself! It's been running since 1960, and personally, I have fond memories of watching it in the 70's with my Mum, a cup of tea and a sandwich.
And without doubt, my favourite characters were the Ogden's at number 13, headed by the inimitable Hilda, played by the fabulous Jean Alexander. In a 1982 poll, she was voted fourth most recognisable woman in Britain, after Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II and Diana, Princess of Wales.
The pride and joy of No.13 resident Hilda Ogden were the flying ducks on her 'muriel'. They have become Corrie icons as much as Hilda herself over the years. They appeared on Hilda's wall from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. One of the ducks infamously would be seen diving into the sea on the mural, and apparently Jean Alexander, who played Hilda, would check this before filming.
The flying ducks did appear on the show before debuting on Hilda's wall. Next-door neighbour Elsie Tanner had some on her wall and they were seen in the very first episode in 1960 as well as during the 1960s. But it seems that Hilda never bequeathed them from Elsie. In fact, she bequeathed them from her Auntie Aggie as she told Sally Webster in 1987. Flying ducks were common ornaments in homes across England at the time.
When Hilda left the street in 1987, she took her flying ducks with her. As she told Percy Sugden:
"I've come in here more times than I care to remember. Cold. Wet. Tired out. Not a penny in me purse. And seeing them ducks and that muriel… well they've kept me hand away from gas tap. And that's a fact."
The flying duck on a downward spiral has become a symbol of the bad luck the Ogdens often had as well as their house being number 13.

Although many corporate board members believe IT strategy is important, most directors admit they don't pay adequate attention to information technology issues, according to a study by Deloitte Consulting.
Just 10.5% of 455 directors of big companies surveyed said their boards discuss IT at every meeting, while 48.7% said their boards talk about IT issues only as the need arises.
Dennis L'Heureux, CIO and senior vice president for planning at Rockford Health System, says he isn't surprised by the results of the study.
L'Heureux says he has worked for three different CEOs during his 12-year tenure at the healthcare firm.
When he first started as Rockford's CIO, he provided the organisation's board of directors with an IT strategy update every quarter.
Now, in addition to the quarterly updates, he meets the board every time the company is about to embark on a big project, such as the implementation of medication safety technology or an electronic medical records system, he says.
L'Heureux also spends time with the board either at the CEO's request or to inform it about a new technology or a related IT topic.
"In either case, the board is very familiar with me," says L'Heureux. "I sit [in] as an invited guest to all board meetings and also participate in the annual board retreat. Some of the board members are more comfortable discussing technology than others. However, all of [the board members] are very interested in how IT is to be used and how it will bring value."
Kenneth Porrello, a principal at Deloitte Consulting, says the results found a "strong correlation" between corporate boards that are diligent in overseeing IT issues and companies that consistently perform better financially than their competitors.
That correlation "doesn't establish causality", he says, but with a base of more than 450 respondents, "it raises questions as to why that is there. It could be that good organisations are just simply good at everything," he says.
Not surprisingly, the study also revealed that CEOs are often very influential in driving boardroom discussions about IT matters, Porrello says. "A CEO's outlook tends to set a tone and to get IT on the board's agenda more frequently," he says. "I think it really starts with the relationship between the CIO and the CEO."
Joe Trentacosta, CIO of Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, says advocacy of IT issues at board meetings by the utility's CEO, A Joseph Slater, has been "a critical success factor" for it.
Slater champions IT projects by initiating informal discussions with directors prior to board meetings and then actively supports Trentacosta's strategies or decisions during the CIO's presentations to the board.
"It begins with ensuring we have an adequate [IT] budget to implement new systems and technologies and goes full cycle through active executive sponsorship" of major IT initiatives, such as a customer information system that the utility finished rolling out a few weeks ago following an 18-month development effort, Trentacosta says.
He also points to Slater's recent support of the IT organisation's decision to in-source support of its IT infrastructure and operations as it was nearing the end of a 10-year outsourcing contract with a vendor he did not want identified.
Although there isn't a one-size-fits-all IT strategy for corporate boards, Porrello suggests that companies using best practices are more likely to discuss IT issues at regular intervals.
"Sometimes it's a very short agenda item. Sometimes it can be a much deeper dive, like an annual one-hour review of IT investment strategies," he says.
The survey of directors at companies with more than US$1 billion (NZ$1.4 billion) in annual revenues was conducted in July and August 2006 by Deloitte and Corporate Board Member magazine.

text: I have a some Sony headphones that o behind the ear. They work OK for most of the stuff I do at the Gym - except when I jog on the treadmill. They start to gradually fall off and this is kinda annoying. I also have the shure headphones, but due to the sweat, they also fall off. Can anyone recommend some good headphones that work great at the treadmill/gym? Thanks.

Seared Salmon
This is a quick way to prepare salmon fillets. Cooking salmon using this technique requires you to pay full attention: cooking time varies so you must watch the fish to avoid dry, overcooked salmon.

Celebrate Lunar New Year in the Village!
The Lunar New Year falls on February 16th! Welcome the year of the dog at Chinese restaurants across Greenwich Village, from Chinese fine-dining to the finest take-out and everything in between, our guide has you covered!
401 Sixth Avenue (Btwn. West 8th Street & Waverly Place)
Hao Noodle and Tea features a serene and intimate environment complemented by heavenly, housemade noodles and authentic Chinese recipes steeped by thousands of years of tradition.
In the Chinese language, "Hao" (好) means "Great". Moreover, "Hao" (好) also symbolizes the strive for perfection. In the culinary world, "Hao" (好) proclaims a constant devotion to authenticity and quality. Thus, achieving "Hao", is their restaurant's mission.
In Chinese culture, its believed that days of joy and moments of happiness should be celebrated with great food, as an appreciation of food is the most intimate connection. With that in mind, and an extensive lunch and dinner menu, it is one of New York City's finest Chinese restaurants in which to celebrate New Year.
See the menu here!
16 West 8th Street
Village newcomer South of the Clouds has recently opened to glittering reviews from the New York Times, New York Magazine, Eater and many more. The menu primarily features classic Yunnan Rice Noodle in a modern setting.
They also have the sweetest story on their menu, it goes like this...Once upon a time, there was a scholar who was studying hard for his imperial exams on a small island of Yunnan. The scholar's wife brought him soup every day, but by the time she crossed the bridge it was cold. Then she started spooning a layer of oil on top that would act as insulation and keep the broth warm, and carrying the other ingredients separately so they wouldn't get soggy.
The husband ate this everyday and eventually, the scholar succeeded in passing the imperial exams and remembering his wife's great kindness and hospitality. Great honor and satisfaction was brought to the village. The End.
See the menu here!
25 West 8th Street
Rasa features a Malaysian-inspired menu as well as dishes influenced by the rich culinary heritage of South East Asia. It's head chef, Tommy Lai, is the first-ever Malaysian toque to earn a Michelin star in New York.
Rasa is named after a small village one hour north of Kuala Lumpur where siblings Tommy Lai and Camie Lai grew up in an impoverished environment. Showered with love and affection by their parents, they learned their mothers legendary Malaysian street food, or "choo-char" recipes in the village whose name also means taste in Malay. Today in a different Village many thousands of miles from Rasa, culturally and in distance, Tommy & Camie continue to create some of the best Malaysian food in New York City, staying true to the "choo-char" techniques their mother taught them in Rasa.
See the menu here.
455 Sixth Avenue (Btwn. West 10th & 11th)
If you're look for authentic and different Chinese this frenetic favorite of Village locals will not dissapoint! Featuring a menu that is anything but mainstream, the restaurant specializes in hearty Chinese soups and broths.
Brawny noodle soups in giant steaming bowls are the draw, lacking MSG, the bracing broths come mercifully free of the oleaginous layer native to New York takeout but loaded with crisp greens, sloppy noodles and firm meats. If trawling through dense soup sounds too labor-intensive, Cantonese sliced roasted meats, the other house specialty, makes a great alternative.
Also, never ignore your Sammy's fortune cookie!!! Fun Fact! A few years ago a diner played the numbers from her fortune cookie on the lottery, and won $2 million! Read the full story here.
For an authentic New Year experience, this is an essential stop!
See the full menu here!
465 6th Avenue (Btwn. West 11th & 12th)
Known for their modern interpretation of classic dishes and insistence on only using high quality fresh ingredients, Shu Han Ju is a popular Sixth Avenue spot with a menu packed full of the classics you love!
See the menu here!
23 St. Marks Place

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on cryoablation for atrial fibrillation in association with other cardiac surgery.
Atrial fibrillation is the irregular and rapid beating of the upper two chambers of the heart (the atria). It may be classified as paroxysmal, persistent or permanent. Patients with atrial fibrillation may be asymptomatic or they may have symptoms including palpitations, dizziness and breathlessness. They also have an increased risk of stroke as a result of blood clots forming in the left atrium and then embolising to the brain. Although atrial fibrillation may occur in the absence of other heart disease, it is particularly common in patients with mitral valve disease.
Cryoablation of the atria can be performed via a catheter introduced through a femoral vein but surgical cryoablation for atrial fibrillation is typically carried out in patients undergoing concomitant open-heart surgery, including mitral valve replacement or repair. A cryoprobe is used to freeze tissue along a pattern of lines rather than the incisions created in the traditional Cox maze surgery.
Coding and clinical classification codes for this guidance.
Your responsibility
This guidance represents the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, healthcare professionals are expected to take this guidance fully into account. However, the guidance does not override the individual responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or guardian or carer.
Commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to implement the guidance, in their local context, in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, advance equality of opportunity, and foster good relations. Nothing in this guidance should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.
Commissioners and providers have a responsibility to promote an environmentally sustainable health and care system and should assess and reduce the environmental impact of implementing NICE recommendations wherever possible.
