WReo's Wrestling Wramblog is back again.
So, after nailing (NAILING!) both the A and B Block winners and the eventual champion of the G1 Climax 27 (Tetsuya Naito over Kenny Omega), I'm feeling pretty damn good.
It's been about two months since my last Wramblog, so this is going to be just that. We'll be WWE heavy this time around, but will look at some of the other stuff that has happened in the world of pro graps since the last post.
We're going take a look back at NXT's WrestleMania, TakeOver: Brooklyn III.
For the reviews, I'll assign a simple five-point rating system, which is defined like this:
1-Don't Watch: You don't need to waste your time watching this.
2-Might Watch: If you're watching other wrestling-related items, you could pop this on.
3-Could Watch: If you are want a decent match to have on in the background, this is it.
4-Should Watch: You probably should watch this by the end of the day.
5-Must Watch: Go watch it. Now, then come back and proceed.
NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III
While WWE has WrestleMania itself, NXT's version of WrestleMania is TakeOver: Brooklyn.
Two years ago, Bayley and Sasha Banks tore down the house, essentially kick-starting the Women's Revolution in the WWE.
Last year, The Revival and #DIY set the standard for tag-team wrestling.
This year, three outsiders overshadowed what could be the one of the best wrestling shows in years, but we'll get to that. On to the reviews:
Andrade 'Cien' Almas w/Zelina Vega vs. Johnny Gargano
After the 'Sicilian Psychopath' Tommaso Ciampa tore out the hearts of the NXT Universe by turning his back, violently, on Gargano, the world wanted Johnny Wrestling to get back on the winning track against the 'tranquilo'-hunting Almas. Since Vega has come on the scene, Almas has been rolling. A great back-and-forth, with Johnny taking a lot of damage, ended with some interesting (and next level) interference from Vega. Almas gets the win over Johnny Wrestling (4)
The Authors of Pain w/Paul Ellering vs. SAnitY (Alexander Wolfe and Eric Young) w/Nikki Cross and Killian Dain
Initially, it was advertised as Wolfe and Dain against the big boys Akam and Rezar, but Eric Young hopped in to lead his group. If anything, watch this match for the ending sequence including Cross and Dain. This was brutal, and a perfect match for the AoP. Sanity takes the tag-team gold from the hoss duo. (4)
Aleister Black vs. Hideo Itami
Holy crap, this was violent. Go, go now. (5)
Asuka vs. Ember Moon
Ember Moon has spent weeks trying to get inside the head of the 'Empress of Tomorrow', Asuka. She almost made it happen, too. Asuka cut a few corners, but eventually kept the belt in a clean win. (4)
Bobby Roode vs. Drew McIntyre
The NXT Championship match was battle of we (McIntyre) vs. me (Roode). After a long road back to WWE, the run McIntyre has been on is centered on redemption. The once-dubbed 'Chosen One', is chosen once again. He takes down the Glorious One, and gains NXT gold. (3)
I had intended to do this same thing for SummerSlam, but all you really need to watch there is The New Day vs. The Usos for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championships, and the Fatal Four-way for the WWE Universal Championship between the champ Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, and Braun Strowman. It was epic.
Randomly touching on other things going on around the squared circle:
-The post-match beatdown laid on McIntyre by the former Ring of Honor trio of Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, and Bobby Fish has opened up a very interesting can of worms for NXT. It remains to be seen what the exact name of this stable is, and whether Cole and co. will be adding some of NXT's other RoH Alums to the crew, notably Roderick Strong and the incoming Donovan Dijak. Nigel McGuinness is also a former RoH guy, but has been strictly on commentary since his retirement a couple of years ago. But with the trio wreaking havoc all over Full Sail, I'm intrigued at the possibilities for this group. Does reDRagon (Fish and O'Reilly) go after SAnitY's Tag titles while Cole chases The Chosen One? We know they are now called The Undisputed Era, and we also know that Wednesday Night's are heating back up.
-Sexy Star shooting on Rosemary in the AAA TriplaMania XXV was completely unprofessional in the ring, and utter douchebaggery behind the curtain. Sexy Star was brought back to AAA via stripping Taya Valkerie of the Reina de Reinas (Queen of Queens) Championship. Taya's fiance, Johnny Mundo (WWE's John Morrison) is a triple champion for AAA. So it was bizarre then. And now, Sexy Star locks in an armbar with intent to injure (so, basically, an MMA-style application, rather than a pro-wrestling 'quasi-applied' hold). Then she comes out and blames Rosemary (or, the 'North American' as she called her in a statement) and everyone else for the incident. She's being locked out of promotions above the Rio Grande ever since, and for good reason.
-PWG's Battle of Los Angeles was supposedly epic, as well. Since they don't stream, and their DVDs aren't out for a few more weeks, I had to follow along on Twitter. Keith Lee made a pretty good Indy resume that much better with a good week. Penta el Zero M had a couple of great matches. My pick to win, Matt Riddle, had a good semi final run, but ultimately came up short against Jeff Cobb. Cobb and Lee both came up short to now-two-time winner Ricochet. The King reigns. Trevor Banks had a good run, and hopefully tag-team partner TK Cooper gets healthy soon so we can see the canceled match of South Pacific Power Trip (Banks and Cooper are Kiwis) against The Young Bucks. The Kiwi Buzzsaw looked great according to reports.
-Coming up on October 9 is one of the best NJPW Shows every year, King of Pro-Wrestling. This year will have a lot of tags (as New Japan is wont to do on the undercard), but a couple of Bullet Club offerings will be fun nonetheless. Bad Luck Fale, newcomer Leo Tonga (Tama's and Loa's younger brother), and Yujiro Takahashi will face off against Los Ingobernables, featuring BUSHI, SANADA, and Hiromu Takahashi (no relation). Guerrillas of Destiny (BC's Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa) take on Killer Elite Squad and War Machine in a triple threat. Cody Rhodes, Marty Scurll, and Kenny Omega take on CHAOS. Championship matches include Tetsuya Naito putting his G1 Contract on the line against Tomohiro Ishii, IWGP Junior Heavyweight champ KUSHIDA takes on Will Ospreay (watch this one). And IWGP Heavyweight champ Kazuchika Okada faces off with EVIL. This will be a great card.
-WWE No Mercy is in the books. I was under-impressed with Brock Lesnar against Braun Strowman. John Cena against Roman Reigns was okay. The reunion of Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose is going well, both in the ring and story-wise, and their win over Cesaro and Sheamus was gruesome and awesome at the same time. Enzo Amore won the Cruiserweight belt, yippee. The Women's title 5-way was okay, and teased some fun things going into the future, but really didn't advance much going forward.
-WWE Hell In a Cell is approaching as well, and so far it looks a little underwhelming, too. Shane McMahon against Kevin Owens in the cell is intriguing on paper, but it's take four months to finally get there, and I'm tired of the KO Show at this point. WWE Champ Jinder Mahal (yes, that's still a thing) takes on Shinsuke Nakamura, which has potential. I don't care about Natalya against Charlotte (for the third time: NXT, Raw, and now Smackdown Live). The Usos against The New Day has the highest ceiling of any announced match so far, but their history of great (GREAT) matches works against them a little. AJ Styles hasn't been announced for anything, but expect a US Title Match shortly.
-There is a crap-ton of wrestling content that airs every week (WWE Monday thru Wednesday, Global Force Impact Wrestling on Thursday, and New Japan and Ring of Honor on Friday). It adds up 11 hours of somewhat original content every week. That's a lot to watch, even if you're a hardcore. Then you add in the stuff put on YouTube by AAA and CMLL in Mexico, plus FloSlam, New Japan World, and all the British stuff out there (RevPro, WCPW, Progress, et al), you quickly run out of time if you have a job and friends. All that being said; I haven't had a chance to take in the Mae Young Classic yet. But from I have read, the 32-woman tournament on the WWE Network has been top notch, and on the level of the CWC last year. I need to find time to watch it, but I'm not sure where that time is with baseball pennant races heating up, college and pro football underway, and basketball and hockey on the horizon. God Bless Broadband.
-On the topic of women's wrestling, the influx of ladies into WWE and NXT has been so great to see. The Iconic Duo of Peyton Royce and Billie Kay is fun. Ruby Riot, Nikki Cross, and Ember Moon are stars in the waiting. And the newcomers like Abbey Laith, Bianca Belair, Dakota Kai, and Kairi Sane have made the show and the tours fun to watch.
That's a little WWW update for you, we'll get better and be more consistent in the future.

How Preterm Labor Adjunctive Therapy HelpsThis is called her background risk. This sheet talks about whether exposure to oral prednisone or prednisolone may increase the risk for birth defects over that background risk. This information should not take the place of medical care and side effects of taking steroids when pregnant from winston salem airport health care provider. Prednisone and prednisolone belong to a group of medications called corticosteroids. In the body, prednisone is broken down into prednisolone. Prednisone and prednisolone are used to treat many conditions, such as: They help to prevent or suppress inflammation swelling and irritation and immune responses.
Anyone had steroids to mature baby's lungs? - side effects? |
Preterm birth can result in problems of the lungs, heart, brain, and other body systems of a newborn baby. Recent advances in the study of preterm labor have identified effective drugs that may delay delivery. The longer a baby can develop in the womb, the less likely they will have problems associated with preterm birth. Symptoms of preterm labor include:. If your water has broken, you may also be given antibiotics to prevent infection and help you stay pregnant longer.
Some women go into labor very early. The injections are given two to four times over a two-day period, depending on which steroid is used. The most common steroid, betamethasone Celestone , is given in two doses, 12 mg each, 12 or 24 hours apart.
The medications are most effective from two to seven days after the first dose. Multiple studies have shown that prenatal corticosteroids are safe for mothers and babies. Steroid treatment reduces the risk of lung problems for babies who are born early, particularly for those born between 29 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
Babies born more than 48 hours, but less than seven days , from the first dose of steroids appear to receive the greatest benefit. All babies born at less than 28 weeks had lung problems, but the problems were milder for those who got steroids before birth. Steroids may also reduce other complications in babies. Studies have shown that some babies have fewer problems with their intestines and with bleeding in the brain when their mothers received a course of betamethasone prior to birth.
Staying pregnant for those first two days after a corticosteroid shot is the first major milestone for you and your baby or babies. Animal studies have shown that giving steroids to a pregnant female can affect the immune system, neurological development, and growth of her offspring. However, these effects have shown up only in studies where steroids were given in very high doses or early in the pregnancy.
In the treatment of preterm labor, steroids are given later in pregnancy. Human studies have not shown any significant risks associated with a single course of steroids.
Older studies followed infants whose mothers were given steroids during pregnancy until the children were 12 years old. Still, more studies need to be done. In the past, women at risk for preterm delivery received steroids once a week until they delivered. Data from infants and animal studies showed that multiple courses of steroids were linked to babies with lower birth weights and smaller heads.
In , the National Institutes of Health NIH published guidelines on the administration of steroids to women with preterm labor. According to these guidelines, doctors should consider giving steroids to all women who:. Steroids may make diabetes both long-standing and pregnancy-related more difficult to control. When given in combination with a beta-mimetic drug terbutaline , brand name Brethine , they can be even more problematic. Women with diabetes will require careful blood sugar monitoring for three to four days after receiving steroids.
Some women are more likely than others to go into labor early. Women at high risk of a preterm delivery include those who:. Despite these known risks, many women who experience symptoms of preterm labor have no clear risk factors. The most common form of progesterone hormone administered to prevent preterm birth is the OHPC shot, or alphahydroxyprogesterone caproate.
The OHPC shot is a synthetic progesterone that is often administered prior to the 21st week of gestation. The hormone works by keeping the uterus from contracting.
The shot is typically given into the muscles of the woman receiving treatment on a weekly basis. A prescription is required for this hormone treatment, and both the shots and the suppositories should be administered by a doctor. A review of clinical studies of OHPC has demonstrated its ability to prolong pregnancy. Women who are at risk of delivering a baby before 37 weeks may be able to stay pregnant longer if they receive OHPC prior to the completion of 21 weeks of pregnancy.
Other studies have demonstrated that if preterm birth does occur, babies who survive have fewer complications if their mothers received OHPC before the birth. As with any shot and hormone administration, OHPC shots may cause some side effects. The most common include:. Women who receive the pessary are more likely to have unpleasant discharge or irritation in their vagina. There is no indication that OHPC shots have any negative effect on miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm birth, or birth defect risk.
Women who have a history of premature delivery should take this drug. In addition, women with allergies or serious reactions to the shot may wish to discontinue their use.
As well, there are some situations in which a longer pregnancy may be harmful to the mother or the fetus. Preeclampsia , amnionitis , and lethal fetal anomalies or imminent fetal death may make a prolonged pregnancy dangerous or fruitless. Always consult carefully with a health professional before deciding to receive OHPC shots or suppositories. Tocolytic medications are used to delay delivery.
A variety of drugs have similar effects for delaying delivery 48 hours or more when a woman is experiencing preterm labor. Tocolytic drugs include the following medications:. Tocolytics are prescription drugs that should only be administered between weeks 20 and 37 of pregnancy if symptoms of preterm labor exist. Combining tocolytics can cause problems for both the mother and the baby. In general, tocolytic drugs only delay delivery.
All tocolytics, but prostaglandin inhibitors in particular, are effective at delaying delivery between 48 hours and seven days. This allows corticosteroids time to speed fetal development.
Instead, they merely give extra time for the baby to develop or for other drugs to work. Tocolytics may also delay delivery long enough for a woman to be transported to a facility with a neonatal intensive care unit if preterm birth or complications are likely. There is some controversy over whether tocolytics themselves can cause problems at birth, such as breathing problems for the baby or infection in the mother.
In addition, each type of tocolytic drug has risks for women with certain conditions. Antibiotics are routinely given to women in preterm labor when the bag of water surrounding the fetus has broken. This is because ruptured membranes put a woman and her baby at greater risk for infection. In addition, antibiotics are frequently used to treat infections such as chorioamnionitis and group B streptococcus GBS during preterm labor.
Antibiotics require a prescription and are available in pill form or intravenous solution. Some studies have shown that antibiotics may reduce problems in the newborn. For now, using antibiotics to help treat all preterm labor remains controversial. There is also data showing that antibiotics are helpful during preterm labor for women who carry the GBS bacteria.
About one in five women will carry GBS, and babies who get infected during labor and delivery can become very sick. Antibiotics can treat GBS and reduce complications of a subsequent infection in the newborn, but carry risks for the mother. Most healthcare providers test women for the bacteria about a month before their due date. The test involves taking swab samples from the lower vagina and rectum. Because it can take two or three days for test results to be returned, the general practice is to begin treating a woman for GBS before confirmation of infection if a woman is in preterm labor.
Most doctors think that this practice is justified because as many as one in four women test positive for GBS. The primary risk of antibiotics during preterm labor is an allergic reaction from the mother. In addition, some babies may be born with an infection that has resistance to antibiotics, making treatment of postpartum infections in those babies more difficult.
According to ACOG , only women with signs of infection or a ruptured membrane early water break should receive antibiotics during premature labor.
Women without signs of infection and with intact membranes should likely not receive antibiotics during preterm labor. In addition, some women may have allergic reactions to particular antibiotics.

Dear Family,
I've been transferred to Pottstown Pennsylvania!!!! I am super excited
for this new area and I already love the people here!
As the subject line says, this will be a super short, super lame
email, because our PDay is being cut short today. It's a short PDay
because tomorrow all of the missionaries in the mission are going to
be taking a tour of newly dedicated Priesthood Restoration site in
Susquehanna, New York!!!!!
We are going to leave our apartment at 4:30 tomorrow morning and drive
to Whitehall. From there we will board a bus at 6:00 and ride the rest
of the way up. While there, the Visitor Center Sisters will be taking
us on tours of the site. We are super excited and we are so lucky to
be going!
You should read up about the site in an article in the September
Ensign called Joseph Smith in Harmony.
Anyway, I promise more stories and plenty of pictures next week. Love you all!

Issues: Hamilton's Suburban-Urban Divide
De-amalgamation is a potentially hot topic for this year's municipal election.
Spectator reporters Jon Wells and Teviah Moro looked into how the community's split between rural, urban and suburban could play out in the October vote.
Is life better in the burbs or more desirable downtown? Wells asks in his feature on how the urban suburban divide plays out in unique ways in Hamilton. See the full story at thespec.com
Moro tackles how the vast differences in Hamilton's geography and population make for a fairly cavernous split in how residents regard themselves. See his full story at thespec.com

I have been eyeing the unopened bricks of large pistol primers on my bench and am tempted to give them a try......I know it's likely not a good idea but it got me to,wondering if anyone's ever tried this? I also have some small pistol magnum primers I've been thinking about loading up in 223 for some junk blasting ammo. I figure I could back off 10-15% and shoot some across my chronograph and see what the velocity and SD's are. Someone talk me out of this idea please!!....i have some buddies who have offered to loan me some or here's to hoping I can find some in the next two months. gun)

Minority Integration
If we want to build an open society where the rights of all minorities are equally protected, we will also need leaders who will initiate changes and serve as examples for their communities. In order to advance the rights of minorities, OSGF will use a variety of tools including advocacy, small grants, research and analysis, engaging stakeholders, and exchange visits. .
OSGF will support emerging minority leaders in protecting their rights and influencing the government to use tools available to combat inequality and exclusion.
Throughout 2017-2020 years OSGF intends to identify potential leaders in minority community who can effectively lead initiatives to prevent discrimination and bring about positive changes in the protection of their rights. OSGF will focus on minority youth who display motivation to become significant actors in the process of change. To achieve this goal, OSGF will work on the local and national levels. The Foundation will provide trainings on democratic participation, civic activism, and human rights, including the rights and freedoms of minorities. Educate youth on Georgia's legislation, domestic policies and governance practice, as well as current affairs.
OSGF will award small grants to provide opportunities for activists to exercise leadership skills, mobilize communities, raise funds for community-based projects, use various advocacy techniques, and engage in government accountability activities.
The Foundation will support projects in ethnically mixed regions to bring different groups together around common initiatives that promise to improve everyone's position.
Setting up platforms for young activists will be one of the tools applied in order to engage with their peers from all over the country to promote equal opportunities and inclusion of minority groups through awareness-raising campaigns for the public and creative channels of communication with local and national authorities.
At the national level OSGF will advocate for the enforcement of the right to high quality education, secularization of education, and provision of incentives to the minority youth to remain in education. For example, OSGF will achieve this by improving internal integration policies in higher education institutions, introduction of quotas for ethnic and religious minorities in study-abroad programs, and strengthening of state ethnic minority students support program.
By the end of 2017, we expect issues of minority groups to receive heightened public attention due to the improved advocacy skills and increased civic activism of minority leaders. Young leaders are acknowledged in their communities due to their ability to organize and lead citizens to engage with the government. Also, policy recommendations aimed at ensuring equal opportunities for minorities in education are in place.
By the end of 2018, we expect that minority leaders are socially engaged addressing challenges of integration and taking effective action on behalf of their communities. Minority youth voices the needs of their communities and participates effectively in community-based projects. Policy recommendations aimed at better integration of minorities in education are implemented at the national and local levels.

Future Museums is latest addition to the Fire Talk roster. I met Neil Lord on my first ever tour in 2009, back then he was running a house venue in Fayetteville Arkansas. This project, his solo recording endeaver, has been around just as long. Structured ambient guitar waves, looping melodic passages and minimal percussion create the foundation while sounds filter and shift in from the periphery. Beautifully introspective and effortlessly detailed ambient guitar music for the digital age.

We are always wondering how to attract tourists, aren't we? And, so far in the last few years, tourism has been in decline in this province. No wonder the Yarmouth to Portland ferry isn't doing well. What's really exciting for a family to do here, bar visiting Halifax?
Visiting museums, which all look the same, going to quaint little fishing villages, lounging on an albeit beautiful beach but unable to swim because the water is too cold and "doing the Cabot Trail' just doesn't cut it any longer. Even music festivals have mostly local audiences and last only a few days.
Does anyone in Tourism Nova Scotia realize the potential of the dormant rail line that we have here at the eastern end of the Annapolis Valley? The Windsor and Hantsport rail line spans from Windsor Junction on the outskirts of Metro Halifax to as far as New Minas.
Like I said at the beginning, we have in front of our eyes what could be the answer to our ailing tourism industry.
We need to step on our so-called "Canadian pride" and copy, yes copy, the United States, who seem so much more astute at entertaining the entire family in a fun way.
In the United States, groups operate excursion trains in almost all of the states and numerous ones in certain states such as Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Some are powered by colourful diesels, others by genuine steam locomotives.
An excursion train through the "lake country" between Windsor Junction and Ellershouse transitioning to the "hills and tides country" in the Windsor area and finally reaching "wine country" —the area around Grand Pre — would, in my opinion, be a great attraction for the entire family.
It would be especially so if the train(s) were pulled by a good size steam locomotive with all the sights, sounds and smells adding to the experience of an era gone by.
Locomotives of all sizes are being preserved in many places all over North America and just looking for a buyer to restore them to active duty.
Furthermore, in late afternoon, a second departure from downtown Halifax or Dartmouth could accommodate a different class of clientele who would enjoy a leisurely meal or typical Maritime cuisine accompanied by local wines (not worrying about drinking and driving) which are now being produced by an ever increasing number of wineries, especially in the Valley.
Now imagine yourself in a beautifully decorated railcar, being served drinks and amuse-gueles while listening to live music on the way to Grand Pre where your dinner train would stop. You'd then go to a wine tasting session at one of the nearby wineries (there are five locally), returning to your train after your palate had been teased. Then you would finally enjoy a superb meal on the way back to Halifax. I don't know about you but my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
So come on politicians, wake up, think boldly, let go of the old ideas which don't work anymore and keep in mind the saying: "You've got to spend money to make money."

I've just been going through some cds and found 'Punk Jungle Rules' and 'Sex and Cheques' and remembered how much I used to like Jolt.
Does anybody know if they released anything else or what Mark Keds is up to music wise?
i used to
love Jolt. well, mostly the EP with that Slits cover on it (can't think of the name).
he changed his name to Mark Hammerton and wrote 'Can't Stand Me Now' with Pete/Carl. and was one of docherty's junkie buddies for a bit i think (prob still is).
umm, yeah, he was in The Wildhears wasn't he. I think that's how i knew of Jolt.
(see the 'where are they now' section http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senseless_Things#Where_are_they_now.3F )
Keds formed
The Lams for a while but I think they disintegrated due to his drug problems. There was a lot written about it on the Lams' forum with death threats from dealers and all sorts! According to his myspace he went into rehab a while back but hopefully he'll be back in action soon.

This recipe still shines, ninety years later.

Share Plate Yum!
by Di!
Every Easter we have a week in Brunswick Heads, only an hour-and-a-half drive from Brisbane and a holiday destination loved by my husband since his childhood. It's got a great dog-friendly surfing beach and is a haven for fishermen … but a big attraction is that it probably has the best beer garden in Australia under the poinciana trees at the Brunswick Heads Hotel, a fantastic pub that hosts live entertainment many days of the week. When there we eat out every day (isn't that what holidays are about?!), and around 10 years ago we discovered a gem of a restaurant which we have continued to visit each time we are in this fabulous part of northern NSW.
Previously known as Fat Belly Kat, it was named after the first owner Katerina, who, together with husband Damien Williams, pioneered this Greek eating experience in 2003. Katerina had worked for Stephanie Alexander at the Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder in Melbourne, but learnt many of her culinary skills from her Mediterranean born mother, from whom the shared platter concept of this restaurant was born. Kat was pregnant when they first opened the doors for trade and because she was visible from the open kitchen, her fat belly inspired the name. Three children later, this family has moved on and the restaurant is now in the capable hands of Jake and (Chef) Danie Davidson, who have altered the name slightly to the current 'fatbellyKaf'. (A bit of trivia – shortly after it changed hands we were suitably impressed to spy Chef Luke Southwood at work in the kitchen; Luke featured in Masterchef Professionals after having recovered from a serious car accident, but is now back in his home base of South Australia.)
The philosophy of shared food and using local and organic produce, as well as the Mediterranean influence are still the same, and each year we have continued to enjoy the same favourite dishes as always, together with some new eating experiences along with some great wines and cocktails. Inside the interior is clean lines and slightly Moroccan in flavour, but we usually choose to sit on the adjacent deck to enjoy the coastal breezes. Favourites of ours, eaten in a leisurely fashion as tapas, start with a selection of oysters with pomegranate and tomato vinaigrette, manzanilla sherry and local pepper, and crumbed with capers. We follow that with eggplant and feta balls, marinated local olives and Turkish sausage and crispy fried squid. Then, the highlight … slow roasted lamb shoulder with stock root vegetables accompanied by green vegetables. "Elysium"! That's Greek heaven to the uninitiated … so my advice would be to head in the direction of this wonderful eatery and become initiated into the experience of eating there. My guess is you will return!

While relations between Singapore and Malaysia may dip occasionally, Singapore President Tony Tan believes the close personal ties shared at all levels of government as well as the current positive mindset will help overcome challenges.
Indeed, Dr Tan feels there is "a new momentum" in bilateral relations following the resolution of the Points of Agreement (PoA), which was an important catalyst in advancing ties.
"I had a very good visit here. Overall, I would characterise the bilateral relations as excellent and full of potential for joints projects on both sides," he added in three days state visit to Malacca at the invitation of the Agong, Tuanku Alhaj Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah.
Cautioning that bilateral ties cannot be taken by granted but need to e nurtured, Dr Tan said: "I recognise that the path ahead will not be entirely smooth, but i am confident that the present positive approach and close personal ties we share at all levels will help to overcome these difficulties and challenges.
Tony Tan is confident the occasional hiccups in relation s or Malaysia's internal affair would not affect planned joint projects including those that will enhance connectivity, such as the Singapore-Johor Bahru Rapid Tansit System (RTS) or the more ambitious Kuala Lumpur – Singapore high speed rail HSR link. High Speed Rail HSR once completed will shorten the Kuala Lumpur – Singapore journey to 90 minutes.
"There may be wrinkles from time to time arising from the domestic political situation in Malaysia., but I don't see any of this derailing the projects". " It is a matter of being prepared. In implementing the projects, both sides have to look after their own interests, but what's important is the realisation that both sides will benefit from making it happen. And from my meetings, it's clear both sides have a vested interest in making things happen."
Singapore President Tony Tan noted that a format for issues resolution has been established in the form of a joint ministerial committee (JMC) which works through mutual negotiations. The Joint Ministerial Committee JMC is working on the mooted Singapore – Johor Bahru RTS which Dr Tan acknowledged has still " a number of issues to be worked out between the two governments".

Post #561 Pasta's the Bomb!February 11, 2018 at 3:01 PM | Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Post #561 Pasta's the Bomb!
In the constant search for quick and easy nutritious meals for the weekdays, I often turn to pasta. It's inexpensive; it's amazing versatile; it's delicious; and it's the subject for today's blog post. Wading through the various types of pastas can take days and more words than I could manage in a month. There's long pasta, short pasta, round pasta, flat pasta, hollow pasta, shaped pasta, filled pasta, and even pasta from the leftover of making the above pasta. Fresh pasta cooks in seconds; semi-fresh pasta cooks in a couple of minutes; fully dried pasta cooks in several minutes. Some pasta is added directly from the cooking water into the sauce. Some is drained first. Others are drained, cooled, dried, and added to salads. Like I said, amazingly versatile.
Most typical for pasta is to add it to a tomato based sauce. Right now, I've got a chunk of beef roast in the slow cooker with two chopped up tomatoes, some chopped onion, garlic, and salt. Tomorrow, the roast will get shredded and some more ingredients will be added. Cooked pasta will be added and we'll eat it up.
Growing up, pasta meant two things: spaghetti which we loved because it was guaranteed to be messy as we slurped it up off the fork, and macaroni and cheese which we loved because it was macaroni and cheese. What's not to love? As I grew older and started reading about other dishes, and going to different types of restaurants, I learned about other kinds of pasta. I had ravioli, and lasagna, and beef a roni, and for a very short period, even ate a ton of spaghetti-Os.
Fortunately, palates grow wiser and more refined; cooking skills increase and become more deft. Shortcuts are not to be sneered at when there's a family to feed and no time to create things by scratch. Many of my pasta shortcuts have found their way into the blog and I'm going to re-share them now. And I'm going to add a couple of new ones.
When I was in college, I lived with my sister and her husband for a while and one of their go-to recipes was a tuna-noodle bake. We used whole wheat macaroni boiled to barely al dente. One can of tuna in water was drained and added to it and a can of cream of celery soup was used to bind it together. A half cup of cheese cubes, fresh chopped broccoli, fresh chopped mushrooms mixed in then it's all put into a standard loaf pan and topped with a mix of sunflower seeds and sesame seeds. Bake at 350 until cheese melts and bubbles and golden crust forms on the top, about 30 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in. I made this with leftover chicken, pork, ham, beef, steak, whatever protein I had at hand. I mixed up the soups I added, too. It was good and filling. And as all pasta dishes are, it was very versatile, lending itself to whatever was on hand.
Another go-to pasta meal I ate a lot of in college, and still make pretty often now over three decades later is a home version Hamburger Helper's Macaroni and Cheeseburger. Only better. I started off this recipe using boxed macaroni and cheese with the sauce, not the powder. While the pasta is cooking, I cook up a pound of hamburger well done. I tend to season it pretty well, more than I normally would so when it's mixed, the flavorings don't get lost. I drain the hamburger completely. Once the macaroni is done, I make the mac and cheese, then dump the hamburger in and mix it up. I try to cook the burger into large lumps so there's something to bite into. That's the basic version. Sometimes, I added freshly steamed veggies, or sometimes raw. Other times, I put all in a casserole dish and bake it for about twenty minutes at 375. Sometimes, mostly now, I don't use the box mix but make my own mac and cheese.
Home made mac and cheese is another one we have on occasion. I don't usually fix it with a sauce since neither of us like milk or cream so we don't generally have it on hand. But what I do it boil up a cup of macaroni and drain it. I put it in a casserole dish and put about two tablespoons of butter in it and stir to melt and coat. Then I add two cups of shredded cheeses, mostly cheddar. The pasta is usually still warm enough to melt the cheese a little. Then I cover it and put it in a low oven for about twenty or thirty minutes so the cheese melts completely. Remove the cover and allow to cook for another ten minutes if you want a golden crust on the top.
Finally, here's a recipe I haven't tried yet, but it sounds really good. It involves cooking the pasta in butter. I haven't had much luck cooking pasta in anything but water, but this sounds intriguing. It makes a portion for one, so multiply by how many you're feeding.
Butter Lemon Angel Hair Pasta
- 2 oz angel hair pasta, broken to bite size pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth, heated
- Juice from one small lemon
- Zest from one small lemon
- Pepper to taste
- Melt butter in medium sauce pan. Put broken pasta in and toss to coat well.
- Add chicken broth and pepper and stir. Cover and let simmer over low heat for ten minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat add lemon juice and stir. Garnish with extra pepper, and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
I see this as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish. But it's very easy and quick to make and sounds wonderful. Looking forward to trying it.
So what are some of your go to pasta dishes? Feel like sharing? I know we'd all like to hear about them.

During my studies in library school (that term hardly covers it, but I'm trying to use commonly recognized terminology), I was introduced to S. R. Ranganathan who famously articulated five guiding principles of library science back in 1931.
Today, I felt as though the fourth law ("Save the Time of the User") was not being honoured. I don't work with the public in my present position (except for those rare occasions where they somehow call my office line directly and then I help them with great energy), but I am still concerned with the user experience. As a rule, libraries and archives should not set up obstacles to users and yet that seems to be happening. I suggested that a current problem - which could cause significant delays for users - be put online. We may not know when or how this Big Problem will be solved, but we can at least let people know about the nature of the problem. Then they can determine how it affects them - only then can they make an informed judgement on how to use their time. This suggestion was denied and the reasons were not terribly good.
I'm starting to think more about whether there is any kind of coherent philosophy that can hold together the information profession. Public service may have worked, but that leaves out all the private sector people...

No English, No Problem, on the Train in Ukraine
On the overnight train from Kiev to Sevastopol, I'm minding my own business on my narrow upper bunk -- headphones on, book covering my face. I feel a tap on my shoulder, and look over to find a Cold War nightmare staring back at me.
He's not a
Rocky IV
-style vision of Soviet perfection. Rather, this is the sonofabitch ordered to hunt down Ivan Drago after he loses to the Italian Stallion. I imagine this beast tracking the disgraced Russian boxer across Siberia, knife between his teeth. In a small sack, he carries just one sausage, two loaves of brown bread and a gallon of vodka.
A tiny wisp of blond stands at his side. I remove my headphones, and the kid asks in faltering English, "My father…like to know…if you…join us?"
One minute, you're a lonely American traveling across the Ukraine for no good reason. The next, you're crammed into a tiny train compartment drinking wine with four
Red Dawn
extras and theirwives -- none of whom speak English.
The Ukraine opened its borders after the fall of the Soviet Union, but unlike their westerly neighbors in Poland, Hungary and the former Czechoslovakia, Ukrainians aren't overrun by tourists. Which makes this country a great destination for a taste of what remains of the real Eastern Europe.
Second-class is the best way to travel here. Known as
, a second-class train ticket means an assigned bed in a snug, four-person compartment. (First-class sleeps two-per-room, but in half the space; third-class is a bunk in an open car.) The trains are shabby but not dirty, aged but not decrepit. The toilets work, there's even hot water for tea. Even with the $3 surcharge for sheets, my ticket was less than $25.
The intimidating fellow standing at my bunk is named Evgenii, or Eugene. The kid is Anton, his 10-year-old son who already speaks four languages. On their invitation, I step into the next compartment where Evgenii's friends have prepared a banquet on the tiny pull-down table. It's piled high with roast chicken, potatoes and -- surprise, surprise -- dumplings. The men are wearing track pants straight out of Brighton Beach; their wives, loose-fitting pajamas.
No sooner had I crammed myself into an open seat than I was handed a tin cup. Ukrainians love their sweet red wine, which like beer is treated as a soft drink. Little Anton does an admirable job of translating, and within 30 minutes we're all buddies.
Like me, this group of nine is bound for the Crimean peninsula, or Krym, which hangs from the mainland into the Black Sea. From Sevastopol, I'll head east to the resort town of Yalta, where moneyed Russians still maintain their dachas. From there, it's just 10 miles to Hurzuf, a tiny hillside village perched over a perfect moon-shaped cove.
Evgenii and his crew are more ambitious. They're getting off early at Simferopol for a two-week hike through the mountains. It's a 10-year-old tradition for these four friends who met in the Army years ago, back when Evgenii and Sergei -- sitting to my right and occasionally hugging me -- were also Olympic boxing hopefuls.
This explains Eugenia's zucchini nose, a jangled blob of flesh that's been squished down to the right. As it turns out, Evgenii and Sergei once trained with Vitali and Vladimir Klitschko, the world-famous heavyweight-champion brothers who run second only to Mila Jovovich for Ukrainian pride of place.
The night runs well past midnight, and eventually it's just me, Evgenii and Sergei. The wives have retired to their compartment, and Anton the translator is ready to collapse. We rummage through the supplies, looking for another liter, but come up empty-handed. Just as well -- it's time to sleep.
We pull into Simferopol at dawn, and Evgenii's crew is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. He and Anton are once again at my bedside. This time, he invites me on their hike.
For a minute, I consider it. I have hiking shoes and my own sleeping bag -- but could I survive two weeks in the mountains with these well-natured maniacs?
I thank him for the offer, but decline. I'm looking forward to sitting on Yalta's topless beaches and drinking wine all day, I tell him. And anyway, think of poor Anton. The poor kid needs a break.

Many thanks to all our supporters!
Mai 2018CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PUBLICATION OF THE WOMEN'S MUSEUM ISTANBUL Women's Museums: Centre of Social Memory and Place of Inclusion Ed.: Meral Akkent, Güldünya Publishing House Istanbul, 232 p., Istanbul 2017.

SEE IMPRESSIONS OF SOME EVENTS OF WOMEN'S MUSEUM ISTANBUL FROM 2012 to 2017.
25 September 2012
When, in January 2011, we began with the project "Women's Museum Istanbul" - Istanbul Kadin Müzesi ® (IKM) - it all seemed rather like a dream. However, we were always convinced that it was a dream that had the potential of realisation.
In June 2011, with a small group of volunteers, we then started to create the Women's Museum website. As time went on numerous more supporters joined us, both in Turkey itself and from many other countries in the world, so that the website could be launched in the Autumn of 2012. So the first step in realising our dream of a Women's Museum in Istanbul has been completed.
This website, that you are looking at now, could never have come about without the voluntary support and help in the areas listed below. We owe our thanks to
- the sponsor of our website, BENETTON Turkey, for their generous financial support towards the realisation our website.
- our graphic artist Alex Miskin (Odessa, Ukraine), who thought: "for your project the only possible font to use is the one designed by a woman graphic artist and named after a forgotten woman type-setter". Thus he designed the logo of the Women's Museum using the font Mrs Eaves designed by the American typographer Zuzana Licko.
- the managers of the agency madebycat® Özkan Yurdusev and Begüm Eser, and also Aysenur Kurt, who co-ordinated the project. In the course of the work on creating the website our relationship grew way beyond that of client and service-provider, thanks to their ever-increasing familiarity with our project.
- our numerous voluntary translators all over the world. Whether it was a public holiday, the weekend or late into the night, they sat and translated the Turkish texts into English, Italian and German for our website, without expecting any remuneration. They supported our project, because they all find the idea of founding a Women´s Museum in Istanbul very important.
- our voluntary proof-readers all over the world, native speakers who meticulously read through and where necessary corrected the English, Italian and German texts.
- our supporters world-wide who helped us to win over these voluntary translators from different countries for our project.
- our old and new friends and helpers world-wide who have made information, documents and pictorial sources from their private archives available for use on our website and all the others who have given us valuable help for our research.
We owe you all unreserved thanks for your active involvement and valuable contributions towards the project Istanbul Kadin Müzesi® (IKM). You have accompanied us along our path, have given our project group strength through your presence and energy. And supported us in our first concrete steps towards the realisation of the Women's Museum Istanbul project.

|Mom Marika and foal Sylvia
They have a wild child. They feel very unfortunate. Because they have a child who dares to dream of travelling around the world. They feel devastated. They feel abandoned. They feel very unfortunate because all these years they bred and supported a girl who does not want a family, does not want kids, does not want security, does not want to follow tradition. I try to feel compassion for their saddness and terror.
Right now they are playing an ugly game. A game of power and control. They are trying hard to make me change my mind. They are using all the ugly tools they have. They threaten me with financial abandonement. What they said was mine when I was doing what they accepted, will not be mine anymore. They want back all their gifts. Their material gifts I mean. Although I cannot understand this behaviour, I try to keep my cool.
No, I do understand this behaviour. They want their obedient child back. They want a child they can control.
They do not want an adult child.
And right now I feel the anger. I am so pissed off with them, my head is bursting!
It's difficult to forgive when you're pissed off. It's difficult to be gracious when you're pissed off.
So I'll stay pissed off. And use the force of my anger creatively.
I will create my departure to a heart's dream.
To travel around the world.
Thank you.

If you agree or not is not the point.JKD was intercpting fist or foot. JKD was simplisticly deployed-JKD was scientificly & nontelegraphic. Be honest with your self.This is what Bruce said.It is very hard to do . We want to be on the band wagon, & not be seen as the only one not conforming. To intercept is to stop the incoming.Much like a missle.It intercepts & takes out the taget.Now could it do that with enter -to trap-to lock-to grapple.The main factor was to end it as soon as possable. How can we evolve if we simply add more styles & technics & Ranks.JKD is not a style.JKD is nontelegraphic.To grapple dosent that alone telegraph or at lest--at least put you in a fixated state & cant focus on the totality of your envirment. These are thoughts & Ideas.I cant say you have to do this ,That would predict a style.Be formless & dont adhear to styles that do nothing more then emulate robotic motions. Just a thought.
