Arbutus Berry
November 22nd, 2009 | Category: Food, Photo Blog
Arbutus Berry. A friend of mine has a huge tree in his garden. I have no idea how to incorporate these into a dessert. Any ideas?

I know only the jam like the one made on Corsica. Actually I have bought it there. I guess they make it like all jams, comfitures, preserves etc. 1 kg abrouse, 500 gr sugar. It is similar to rose hip preserve, you should cook the arbouse first, then strain it, and then cook with 500 gr sugar (or less if it is to sweet for you).

I recently was reading about these berries, that they are indeed edible but insipid. I also have a tree in my garden in California.

My first comment here: I've discovered the blog only recently.
I've never cooked or eaten this berry, but know it's called "arbouse" in French. I've googled and found this (French) recipe for a tarte aux arbouses under this link: http://aioli.over-blog.com/article-36685752.html
On puff pastry, some red jelly is spread, then the very ripe, quickly washed berries, and then a mixture of starch, eggs, sugar, yogurt, and hazelnut powder. Ten minutes before the end of baking time, pine nuts and brown sugar are sprinkled over the tarte. It looks yummy. Other than that, it seems that jam making is the most common use of "arbouses".

Origin: Mediterranean
The berry of a shrub sometimes called the strawberry tree, the arbutus berry is one of the most common fruits found in Corsica. Endowed with a particularly sweet flavor, the arbutus's bright red color brings a splash of beauty to the brushland and is used to make jams, jellies and liqueurs as well as being a component of certain savory dishes.
The arbutus bush is also found in southern France. This species, with its tough shiny leaves, was undoubtedly introduced into the region by monks. Its edible fruit was used to make liquor in medieval times.

Hi Cenk,
I had never heard of arbutus berries before so I looked them up and I found on Wikipedia "The fruit is edible but has minimal flavour and is not widely eaten." I dont know if its worth the effort to cook with them!
Good luck!

These look like the fruit of the arbutus unedo which is also called a strawberry tree. The fruit is very bland tasting unlike a real strawberry. Probably your best bet would be to use it for decoration.

Hey Cenk! In Italian these are called CORBEZZOLI. You can make a nice jam out of them as they taste is slightly like strawberries (1 kg fruit – 800gr sugar – hint of alchermes).
I personally love them.

It's me again! Read 2 kg of fruits and 0,8 kg of sugar!!!
Sorry for the mistake. 🙂

They are "madroños" (in Spanish), the madroño tree and a bear are Madrid city symbols. The fruits are used to make a liquor and confiture. The google search "recetas madroños" (madroños recipes) gives you many results, in Spanish of course.
Congratulations for your photos, I like them much.
Regards from Madrid – Spain.

In Portugal we call them Medronhos. They are used in liquors.

I also bought a jar of ARBOUSE, Gelee de Corse, bottled by Charles Antona, on the island of Corsica. I did not look carefully at the fruit depicted on the charming label and thought I was buying apricot jelly. It really does not have a distinctive flavor and is quite sweet. I would not purchase it again. But, "to each their own"! Bon apetito!

Government alone cannot reduce poverty. Churches can do something to attract their communities. Churches can create community-based programmes, provide for the poor and the needy by teaching them the love of Christ and reducing crime by administering the youths," he said.
Apostle Williams opines that to raise the needed finance is not a problem as it has been written in the Bible that: "the earth is the Lord's and its fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein." He said the aim of his visit to Sierra Leone is to hold meetings with church and government leaders to integrate what God is doing in Africa and then called on churches to concentrate more on the words of God.
While the idea behind faith-based initiatives may sound appealing, in the U.S. the plan hasn't completely panned out. That's more a cause of U.S. politics than ecumenism gone bad. In West Africa religion is much more culturally fluid and dynamic, and most churches and mosques maintain large communities, so it could be a useful tool for assisting populations. In fact, some development agencies already leverage houses of worship for outreach programs, especially in often neglected rural areas. I know in the predominately Muslim northern part of Burkina Faso, it is said that Catholic churches provide needed community organization for development outreach, especially in the area of food security. As long as churches don't turn people away on account of their beliefs, this is a good thing.

Before & After: A Fresh New Look for an Aging Bathroom
When Holly and Christian bought their two-bedroom, two-bathroom co-op in a 1920s building in New York's Greenwich Village, they knew it would need a little work. The apartment's kitchen wasn't in great shape (you can read all about its transformation here), so, while renovating the kitchen, they decided to refresh one of the apartment's aging bathrooms as well. The bathroom's features had been replaced piecemeal throughout the years, resulting in a space that felt a little bit lost in time. Most importantly, the fixtures and storage just weren't efficient enough for a modern couple.
The changes to the bathroom help the small room to feel more spacious — and also bring the bathroom closer to the building's 1920s roots. The intricately patterned marble floor recalls the tiled floors found in many classic New York baths, and the new sink console provides a nice nod to history, with a modern twist. Its smaller profile is also less clunky than the old sink cabinet. The old toilet was replaced with a newer, more water efficient one.
A new mirrored medicine cabinet, chosen for its roominess, provides plenty of storage. Marble tile and shiny new chrome fixtures complete the tub/shower area.
Christian and Holly found their team of contractors, Valeria and Eduard, through Sweeten, an online resource that connects homeowners with local design and construction experts for home renovations. You can read more about the project, find sources, and see more photos on the Sweeten blog.

The purpose of this thread is to help centralize my questions and help others with there projects . I know that some of my questions might have been answered and some not, yet keep my questions in place will not clogging up the forum.
My ULTIMATE goal is help myself, while helping others. when the project is done, I will post a link to the finished project. I will also be giving credit, where credit is do, so if you reply, your name will be in the credits . it is only the RIGHT thing to do.
So, with out further ado, my first question is as follows. How do I bend a Plane?
I have uploaded a blend file to give you an idea of what I am looking for. I took a clylinder and delete the faces that I did not need and made it into a wall. when I place my texture on the wall each face get the material and streches, I started a new project with a plane then put my material on it and it worked fine. The Blend file has 2 objects, the cylinder wall I started with and plane. I need the plane to look like the partial cylinder so I can put a texture across the face.
Can some one help me with this?

I do have another I-am-an-illiterate-antelope confession:
I keep saying "Trail By Fire", which makes me think the book is about a mountain hike along a twisty trail or a ponyride. Yes. It's sad.
Thank you Pan Macmillan AUS for the review-copy! Trial By Fire by Josephine Angelini hit shelves in August, 2014.
This world is trying to kill Lily Proctor. Her life-threatening allergies keep her from enjoying many of the experiences that other teenagers take for granted…which is why she is determined to enjoy her first (and perhaps only) high-school party. But Lily's life never goes according to plan, and after a humiliating incident in front of half her graduating class Lily wishes she could just disappear.
Suddenly Lily is in a different Salem – one overrun with horrifying creatures and ruled by powerful women called Crucibles. Strongest and cruellest of all the Crucibles is Lillian . . . Lily's identical other self in this alternate universe. This new version of her world is terrifyingly sensual, and Lily is soon overwhelmed by new experiences.
Lily realizes that what makes her weak at home is exactly what makes her extraordinary in New Salem. It also puts her life in danger. Thrown into a world she doesn't understand, Lily is torn between responsibilities she can't hope to shoulder alone, and a love she never expected.
But how can Lily be the saviour of this world when she is literally her own worst enemy?
Goodreads Pan Macmillan AUS Dymocks Book Depository
I literally have only good things to tell you about this book!
How's that?! It's absolutely crazy, right?! There's a few things I may or may not whinge about, but they're all so microscopic and variable…pfft. Don't even listen to me. Just drop everything and go read this now. Unless, of course, you're carrying something precious like a small child or chocolate cake. Then don't drop everything right away.
It's basically a evilly delicious tale about magic, jumping-through-multiple-worlds, science, fire, and the occasional pickle.
I'm not joking. Pickles feature. Mostly science and magic. I was impressed with the combo of sciencey magic, although (I have to admit) if you even say "biology" in my hearing, my eyes sort of glaze over and I think about pickles and sandwiches. I just don't get science. I do try, occasionally, but to no avail. So that was a bit of a downer for me, but the awesome twist on magic and witches made up for it. The book has it's own rules for magic and they're unique and amazing. I love it when books are original!
Basically we get thrown into a completely different world.
It can be challenging to keep up with. The book has a theory that there are millions of versions of our world. Our bonnie main character, Lily, gets tossed into an alternate universe. SO. You'd imagine everything would be different, right? It is. Completely. Which is awesome, but a bit overwhelming and there's lots of explaining.
You know what I liked about it though? For once, this alternate world DID NOT follow a lot of the average prejudices that most fantasy worlds haul out of our world. They ditch sexism! Hurrah! This world has different values and levels of what's acceptable, honourable, intimate, and edible. That last one is kind of interesting at times. Can I just shout: REFRESHING?!!
The dialogue is epic too!
FINALLY. GOOD DIALOGUE. It's funny and deep and realistic. But you know me: laughing is important. Hang on a sec, just awarding the book extra shiny stickers.
It also quoted this (which makes it insta-awesome and is highly applicable):
So the characters? You want to hear about them right?
WELL. First off we have Lily, who is highly allergic to…everything. I totally related to her on that, even though I'm not hyper allergic, I've always had allergies. I'm the person who avoids you if you're wearing hairspray.
But then Lily bops into the alternate world where another version of her, Lilian, is an evil and very powerful witch. It's soooo much more complicated. Everybody's actions dance in a grey area. So freakishly awesome.
In the Alternate World, Lily joins up with three incredibly awesome dudes. You think it'd be an insta-love-triangle or something, right? Well, yes, she is sort of attracted to two of the guys, BUT IT'S DIFFERENT. It's somehow not tacky or frustrating or irritating. I absolutely loved Lily, and I adored the three guys (Rowan, Tristan and Caleb).
Basically it's like this:
The dynamics of the foursome reminded me of The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. Everyone was friends first and then the romances built off that. So awesome. And they were all so well fleshed out and well written! Rowan was totally swoonworthy, but cranky and a little mysterious. (Also a fabulous cook, which I greatly admire.) And Tristan was very smiling and light and winning. Caleb was brute force, good to have around. They just meshed together all so well!
So what are my peeves?
They're small, really not worth mentioning, but YOU'RE DYING TO KNOW. I, personally, feel the cover is a bit off. I love it! Don't get me wrong! But I thought it was a romantic contemporary when I first saw it. The USA cover (on the right, below) isn't much better (hey, don't spear me if you like it). It feels too generic and grey.
Oh and THE ENDING IS AN AWFUL CLIFFHANGER.
Awful terrible horrible and mean. (A moaning phrase here, which means: "I loved it so much.") Excuse me, I'm just going to collapse sobbing. I need the sequel. I need it quite badly, I will probably even stomp my foot Wicked Witch of the West style.
I can't wait for the next book!
And if you're looking for a fantasy that focus on a) the world building, b) awesome dialogue c) really well fleshed out characters, and d) pickles: THEN THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.
I'm kidding, really, about the pickles. It mentions them like once, but they do save lives.
Also, the reason I desperately wanted to read Trail by Fire I blame on Charnell @ Reviews From A Bookworm! She raved about it and because I flail with her on so many of her ratings, I'm pretty sure she can do no wrong. You're the best, yes.

text: BENTON HARBOR Lewis Black was calm and gracious as he took the stage of Lake Michigan College's Mendel Center Saturday night. The notoriously angry comedian then began taking a few mild jabs at area culture, like the fudge and chocolate shops he encountered "every four feet" as he walked around that afternoon. Then he mocked the reputation Lake Michigan has for offering lovely views for sightseers. Black noted that many visitors rave about the lake's power and beauty, and how he feels differently. "When I look at a large body of water, all I see is an ear infection," quipped Black. As he built up momentum toward his inevitable tantrums, he added a few seasonal observations, knocking autumn -- "the beginning of the phlegm that lasts until May" -- and the Hallmark-created holiday Sweetest Day -- "it has to be stopped now." Before too long Black was working himself into the fit-throwing shouter his audience loves. Halloween was next on his list. After railing against adults who dress up in costume for the holiday, he then went after people who bring out the goblin lawn ornaments, yelling, "Just get your Christmas lights and the manger out there already. You know you want to!" His impatience building by the minute, Black recalled his first experience carving a pumpkin, and how the horrible smell of it made him vow never to do so again. Scolding those who continue the tradition, Black insisted that the stink is there to dissuade people from cutting them open. "The pumpkin is telling you, 'Don't open me,'" hollered Black. The angrier he got, the better the jokes tended to be, and he built his act to a fever pitch with well-phrased rants against the troubles within our school systems and Social Security. When Black went for more obvious targets, though, he was hardly a distinguished comic genius. His Michael Jackson sequence added more stale humor to a topic that ceased being funny a long time ago. "What color is Michael Jackson, anyway? It's sure not in my crayon box," said Black, and still somehow garnered some laughs. Sometimes having an audience as loyal and dedicated as his can come in handy at times when the humor is not at its best. By the end, though, Black had expressed his exasperation with everything from candy corn to politics, and as he stormed around the stage and pulled at his hair, he was doing what he does best.


text: Hello everyone. Im sitting here waiting for my tank to fill up with water so I thought I would post some pics on what I've been doing the last month. I finally got the stand I built skinned and the doors made/mounted. I decided on a trigger systems emerald 39 sump and got it all plumbed in. I used a synergy reef overflow and a bean animal style drain system. Hopefully I did it all right, I'll find out within the hour when its full and I turn the pump on. I watched a lot of the BRS 160 build and took some ideas from there, mostly the plumbing which I really liked.

U/7's Impressive inaugural display in Broomfield!
Photos here from Miriam Meade
Across 7 pitches these young boys from St. Sylvester's played with immense skill, spirit and heart. Cheered on by their coaches, mentors, parents and many of their grandparents, the Sylvester's squads were consistently fantastic. They posted impressive scores in every single game of the blitz and displayed many of the skills they have been building up on over the past 2 years. Their coach Feargal remarked at the end of play team talk, that he was very proud of how they all listened to their mentors on the pitch and how sporting they were to each other and their opponents throughout the morning. When Feargal says he thinks there's something very special about this group of young players, you get the feeling he might just be right.

Beautiful :) I love the double adjustable blue necklace :) That was a type of adjust-ability I was trying for with my 'Flap Your Wings' necklace and I'm so happy to see it appearing in pieces! I hate finding a necklace I LOVE but have it for too long or short for different outfits :)ReplyDelete
Most of my pieces are adjustable, and in august, I made a necklace using as many of my friedns beads as possible, and to cram more in, I made that design, just smaller, in the back. well, after I did it, I thought it was pretty enough to be a front too;) I love finding new ways to make things adjustable, cause I really feel its important! I will have to check out your necklace for the "flap your wings" hop.ReplyDelete
Great displays! I always love to see how others set up their booths. I am working like crazy on mine for this once a year show, but I would really like to do some trunk shows. I like those boards with the notches in the top. Very cool. And your new necklaces are wonderful. I love your style. I would wear any of those. We are just starting with the colds and such. Would help if my freshman son would remember to wear pants to football practice for 2 hours after school. Enjoy the day. ErinReplyDelete
Staci, I'm echoing many people who've said that your work is amazing and oh, so inspiring! Your adjustable necklaces are awesome, and just gorgeous. And I'm glad that you had a successful show, despite the many setback...and it's awesome that you posted about those same setbacks! :)ReplyDelete
Absolute fabulous first blog, looking forward to more!ReplyDelete
Love those adjustable necklaces and you've got some great displays. Sorry the kiddos have had such a rough time. Mine had asthma too, I have asthma, and those cold can wreak so much havoc. Glad to hear they are doing better.ReplyDelete
I absolutely love the idea of the adjustable necklaces! I have a couple that I have made for myself using silk and I really appreciate how I can change the length.ReplyDelete
Lots, and lots of gorgeous goodies! Love the adjustable necklaces! What a clever idea. Your displays are wonderful too! Hope all the kiddies are feeling better and stay healthy! That makes life SO much easier!ReplyDelete
Lovely looking booth Staci, your pieces are beautiful. I guessed right that your would have to start right away on another showpiece as I was sure that "The Traveler" would travel to a new home quickly :). Glad the weather cooperated and you had a good show!ReplyDelete

Hello! It has been a few months since my last blog post. However, I am back and hopefully able to keep up some regular posts going. I thought I would start the first post of 2014 to be of my most recent cake creation venture.
This cake was for a 21st birthday of someone special. They love photography, and as a vow, I said that one day I would make them a camera cake. The day finally came. It was my first 3D sculptured cake, in terms that it required carving, layering and different aspects for it to look like the real thing. As I wanted to get as much detail as I could, I had photos of the camera to use as a reference point.
This cake was the first time I had ever written on fondant using edible paint. This was scary as I was using white paint on black fondant. If I produced any major mistakes, I was doomed!
A few last things, the weather was humid which meant that anything could have happened for the cake to be ruined. Furthermore, this cake was going for a drive down towards Jervis Bay (2.5 hours away). This was my second biggest fear. I was afraid the cake wouldn't make the journey. To make sure the cake didn't collapse, I placed some fondant rolled in plastic in between the top of the lens and the front of the camera. I was very glad that it made the journey with no damages *sighs in relief*.
Overall, the cake has to be the best fondant cake I have made to date (despite staying up until 2am finishing off final details). I was surprised that I didn't fall asleep while writing on the cake. I was very happy with how it turned out, especially since it consisted of a lot of firsts. I was too scared to cut into the cake, so the birthday boy did all the cake cutting.
Things you'll need:
- Thunder Cake Recipe times 3 (1 batch for square, and 2 for rectangle)
- 1 Large rectangular spring form pan (Like this)
- 1 Square cake pan (21cm x 21cm)
- Camera template : I enlarged the image in a word doc of A4 paper to the size I wanted. For a Canon camera, I extended the front grip of the body.
- Toothpicks
- Serrated knife
- Circle cookie cutters
- Offset spatula
- Chocolate ganache recipe (I used 300g dark chocolate, 300g milk chocolate and 600ml of thickened cream)
- Black fondant: 1.5kg to be safe Available here
- Red fondant: You don't need much, so you may be better off colouring white fondant red using red gel paste. Available here
- Silver edible paint Available here
- White edible pain Available here
- Other colour fondant to cover cake board (Optional)
- Rolling pin
- Corn flour (can also be substituted with tapioca or rice flour)
- Thin paint brushes
- Fondant tools: If you don't have fondant tools a small sharp knife will suffice
- Various icing piping tips: This was used to get nice clean cut circles of various sizes using different ends of the tips
- 12" Cake Board + 12" cake box Available here
- Water to stick fondant together
- Unfortunately, I have no photos of the cake cross-section as the camera body was cut the following day and I didn't get a photo of it.

text: Hi all. For a bit of fun I've been developing a kind of spirit level app. It taps into the phone's sensors for horizontal and vertical orientation. When I had the HTC magic, which is flat, this worked fine. Now, with my Hero, the default levels are way off. For example, the sensor reading 0 should be flat, with a positive or negative figure meaning a tilt in either direction. With the Hero, what I consider to be level is a reading of about 5. The zero reading is noticeably tilted. I don't know if this is anything to do with the fact that the Hero has an angled front end, or not. Also, for vertical readings, the sensors don't seem to be accurate. As you tilt the phone towards vertical, the reading rises steadily, but as you get to around 75 degrees, it seems to get stuck, and then eventually will just straight to about 105. This makes it very hard to get an accurate vertical reading. Anyone have any ideas, or know anything, about this?

Mother's Day: The school edition
This morning I attended my son's Mother's Day event at his school. He prepped me for this morning in advance, saying to me, "Mom, I hate to say it, but there will be a foot massage. And then we will have breakfast on the blankets and we will give you the rocks we made for you and the bookmarks."
He pretended he didn't care if I went. "It's your choice, mom." Then said he would be sad if I didn't go.
As we walked to his school this morning, he had our picnic blanket and was rather tickled for life. An old man saw him eagerly walking to school with me and they had a little chat. Caleb said to him, "Guess what? I know what 1100 plus 600 is. 1700."
When we got to his class, his teacher Mrs. Manos read us all a book about what Mom's don't do well. One of the points this little story made, was we don't eat breakfast well. Apparently we eat things like bran flakes, tea, or yogurt, which is almost literally what I eat every morning.
After the book, the kids came to sit with their mom's who were sitting in their seats at their tables. They read us the stories they wrote about us. "My mom has black hair. My mom has brown eyes. My mom has a kind heart. I love my mom because she reads stories to me". He even drew me:
She has big lips, an even bigger mouth, big eyes, long full hair, and furrowed in eyebrows similar to that of an Angry Bird. All of this sounds about right.
After he read his story to me that was about me, he came up behind my seat. "What are you doing?", I asked. "Back massage", he stated. His little hands went to work for about two seconds on my shoulders, and then on to the next item of business: The gift. It was a rock glazed with a heart he had made, along with his decorated bookmark. All of which, he forewarned me about. After this, he went to visit with his friends for a bit, and then he showed me around his classroom. He pulled out a book and we sat on the carpet to read. Naturally, a few friends came to sit with us. Then one of the girls snuck off to get a second book lined up for me to read. During the second book, Caleb rose to tell his friends and their moms that his mom was reading to some friends and he, and they should join. He had such a sense of pride about him.
The event came to and end, and the next thing I saw was a rip roaring Caleb running through his playground waving to me. Life can be such a burst of joy, that he can so live in each moment.
Mother's Day, Sunday, was a tougher day to boot with Caleb. He was wiry and wild. We visited our dear friend Amanda's church, to support Audrey on her day of dedication. Then we rushed off to a delicious, fancy lunch my sister set up for my mom and I at Il Forniao. It was lovely, my child was not. He at one point, fell over in his seat, splat right on his back, and laughed. He was in a mood for the first half of the day where he either wanted to cry, or ram his body into walls because it was fun. He laughed heartily while hurling his body like a spaghetti all around.
My sweet friend and colleague in NY has a son who is much older than mine. He is taller than her now. I was briefly recounting the morning to her, and she said to me, "I am sure he is challenging and it gets tiring, but he is yours, and will be the one to lift you up one day". I replied to her with a smile saying, "He lifts me up even now".
I don't know if I win at this mom thing. But I will tell you what-I win at the recognition of this beautiful life we live. It doesn't always feel this way. Sometimes it feels sad. Sometimes in spite of the profound and undeniable ways in which we have been provided for by the Living God, I still have the audacity to feel loss. Sadness. Grief. It doesn't change the fact that God's got this, and that he is bigger. It just means that human beings are complex, and God heals and loves regardless. It also means that it is okay to feel these things. And it is okay to be the mom who waits, and who loves. It's okay to be the mom with the wild boy who shines. No, it is good, truly.
And a note on being lifted up- I am lifted up all the time. I think we all are. By God, by people close and not so close, by nature, by all kinds of things. And this Mother's Day, beyond the rambunctious antics of my son and his sweet life, I was most lifted up by my family, who while we gathered to celebrate my strong lady of a mom, sought to celebrate me too. It was incredibly sweet and kind. It was very much so, generous.

After our first night in the awesome Tiananmen Sunrise Hostel we visited the Beijing Zoo and Aquarium primarily to see the pandas. We caught the subway which was our secondary means of transportation in Beijing, after our feet.
The subway system is nowhere near as shiny and efficient as the subway in Seoul but it's fairly decent. According to my go-to information source, Wikipedia, all but two of the subway lines have been built in the last decade, with 5 of them opening in December of last year. The names of stations are written in English and there's English announcements when you reach a stop. I splashed out and bought a metro card for 20 yuan ($4) but you can annoy your fellow travellers by just getting a single issue ticket each time you travel and that will set you back 2 yuan (40c). Pretty damn cheap! You also have to get your bag x-rayed every time you ride which made me want to put weird stuff through and freak out the guards.
ANYWAY! On to the zoo. We arrived bright and early after breakfast at the hostel, exited the subway station and saw a man peeing into the garden next to the very busy pavement. We soon came to realise that public urination was frequent in Beijing but at 9am we weren't prepared for it. We walked away from the station in shock for a bit, until we realised that the zoo entrance is actually behind the subway exit - traveller tip!
Entrance to the zoo is Y15 ($3) and I think you pay extra to see the pandas, but we got the combo zoo-aquarium deal which was Y120 ($24). The aquarium on it's own is Y100, a hefty price because it's AWESOME.
We visited the zoo first and like most of Beijing it's huge. It covers 89 hectares and it took us a good 4 hours to walk around. I was a bit reluctant to go to the zoo after our experience in Jeonju - read Tom's blog post about it here - and although it wasn't wonderful, Beijing Zoo is an improvement. I didn't see as many people feeding animals either, except for one moron who was tipping coke into the mouth of a brown bear. People are idiots.
Sadly, many of the animals were in very small, indoor enclosures, but I felt these were in part due to how bitterly cold it is in Beijing over winter. Most of the outdoor enclosures were a decent size, and the animals had water and space and company. Maybe I'm just messed up from our trip to Jeonju, anything is better than that hellhole.
The pandas have a pimped out enclosure - catering for the influx of Western visitors I expect - and gosh darn it, they're adorable. They were munching on piles of bamboo and one of them climbed a slide outside to pose for photo ops. We happily obliged.
The Panda enclosure was packed to the rafters with merchandise, I had difficulty resisting these:
The rest of the zoo wasn't as nice, but there was lots to see. I left Tom and Lauren to take the pictures, so here are some that I've thieved from them:
|Visitors feeding Coke to this bear.
In the middle of the zoo is a huge lake where the water birds chill out. You can see in the pictures how cold it was! I'm pretty sure they pump lukewarm water into the lake to keep parts of it defrosted. There were lots of locals photographing birds with their flash DSLR cameras, I watched the ducks slide around on the ice and giggled.
Oddly, in a number of the empty outdoor enclosures there were stray cats.

Develop agile projects by incorporating the key elements of agile software development into the entire process, including an emphasis on developer interaction and customer feedback along with flexibility to adapt to current demands. The project should also function around developing a product road map, outlining development sprints and daily meetings to review progress.
Agile software development focuses on improving the software development process by incorporating a dynamic creation structure and placing a high value on customer and team member feedback over cumbersome documentation and arbitrary procedures. An agile project begins with a planning session to determine the scope and requirements of the software and ensure that it lines up with the company's vision. This rolls into the creation of a product road map, which assigns specific features and prospects to each leg of the development. The product road map allows project and team managers to plan the development cycle, with consists of multiple set periods of time, known as sprints.
The bulk of the work occurs during the sprints, which involve a set start and end date for each sprint number and specific project planning and reviews of tasks. During the sprint period, the team conducts daily meetings known as a scrum, wherein each member updates the team on progress. When the sprint period ends and the project completes, the team reviews the entire process to determine effectiveness and make suggestions for future improvements.

An Invitation State Visit to the High Realm of Stormark Most Dearly Beloved Goodgranddaughter, In the most high of spirits We should like to commence this Epistle of Invitation of Ours to congratulate you and the People of the Lands of the Golden Mango Throne on the most favouable prospects which present itself to you and your country following the establishment of permanent Imperial Rule by the children of Tuuler Kalir. The Imperial Republic has now taken a seat at the High Table of Micras perennially joining the tight-nit community of the largest, stable and most powerful nation with their strong family ties- by blood, by law, or both. Due to the dynastic succession to the Imperial Throne of Shireroth now in perpetuity remaining with your offspring, and the elimination of that monster of an eldest son of yours from the pool of Kaiseral successors, the risk of a less than sane or clueless less than competent Kaiser taking the Golden Mango Throne has been removed for as long as your descendants trod Micras. The elimination of the traditional Kaiseral Term-Limit has ended the cyclical nature of Shireroth's Executive Government thus terminating the inherent instability which has plagued the Imperial Government of Lands of the Golden Mango Throne for almost all of Shireroth's existence. The aforesaid greatly benefits the Imperial Republic for it allows the country's leadership to think, plan and act on the long term without policies being killed off in the perpetual revocation fest that the Imperial Government of Shireroth until very recently was due to its political situation changing with every new Kaiser. As the bonds and ties between the Twenty-Six Jarldoms and the Imperial Republic of Shireroth are stronger and closer than they have ever been - with you as a Storjarla of Stormark on the Golden Mango Throne and several of Our Descendants among the pool of successors of the Imperial Throne aforesaid - and the Lands of Shireroth due to its new-found predictability having become a much more reliable diplomatic partner, Our Imperial Government has deemed it prudent to step up its efforts with regard to nurturing good relations with the Lands of the Golden Mango Throne. In consequence of the aforesaid We do hereby invite Your Imperial Magnificence and Radiant Majesty to the Lands of the Longships Throne for a State Visit. This invitation also extends to Kaiser Consort Noah, the Princes Vilhjálm and Vidar as well as the Princesses Liv and Esther. We shall finish this Epistle of Invitation of Ours with expressing Our Most Sincere Imperial Wish and Hope that you shall grace Our Realm of Joy with your most lovely and most regal presence soon. Given at the Court of the Three Ladies Divine, since time immemorial situated at the Vanadísarhall on the holy island in the sacred river Fulltrui Flow since ancient times known as Hnossa Isle which since the days of yore is seated within the bounds of Our Imperial City of Haraldsborg in Our Jarldom of Gularike, on this Day of the Ladies Divine Frigga, Freyja and Idunn, Fulltrui and Sacred Queens of Stormark since time immemorial, the Thirteenth Day of the Month Sessrumnir in Folkvanger in the Sixteenth Year of the Second Viking Age in the Second Epoch of Our High Realm.

Here's a new paranormal world populated by all new characters for fans of Atwater-Rhodes.
Alysia is human, but she has achieved level three in all three guilds in the warlike Bruja, an assemblage of paranormal organizations. She's also a tech expert, and she takes her talents to SingleEarth, an organization intended as a refuge from the paranormal wars. Meanwhile, Sarik, a tiger-woman who's trying to escape her tyrannical father, is in love with vampire Jason. These are only a few of the major characters in this entangled maze of people, paranormal creatures, relationships and organizations. Readers may need to chart it all to keep things straight. Atwater-Rhodes provides little direct exposition, leaving her readers to infer much of the structure of the story from conversations, a technique that helps immerse readers into the narrative but that may confuse those less attentive. She delivers her customary action-filled suspense, however, enriched with plenty of fighting and weaponry. The characters, whether witches, vampires, tigers or humans, can heal either themselves or others, facilitating many gruesome, normally fatal wounds that boost the action. Fans of the author's previous series will find much of the same entertainment here, with possibilities left open for plenty of sequels now that this book has outlined a new setting with fresh romances and rivalries. The tigers are a nice touch.
Complicated, but suspenseful. (Paranormal suspense. 12 & up)

Michael Bastian seems like a pretty sensible guy. His attention to texture, tailoring, and utilitarian elegance are pretty outstanding. In addition to his eponymous label, he has cooked up an accessibly preppy line for GANT, bringing some street cred to the freshly re-designed brand. Take a peek below!

>>Here's a brief description of all three (i.e., money purchase, profit sharing and 401k).If I may add a bit to the descriptions of the PS plan and the MP plan for the benefit of any business owners out there, Pixy:In both the PS and MP plans it is possible for the plan to provide a higher percentage to certain highly compensated employees. One way is to use what is called "permitted disparity". The whole idea with this is the plan is allowed to discriminate in favor of employees who make more than the Social Security wage base (68,400 for 1998) to make up for the fact that SS discriminates against these folks. Typically you can get about a 3% difference in the contribution rate for the highly paid person versus the lower paid person.But the real exciting development over the past 7 years or so is a plan design that variously goes by the name of "cross-tested", "tiered", or "new comparability". These plans can provide a significant difference between the higher paid folks and the lower paid folks because they measure discrimination by converting the contribution to equivalent benefits at age 65 and then compare those benefits as a percent of pay. They are a way for owners of small (and not so small) companies to set up plans that provide up to a 25% of pay contribution to themselves without having to give 25% for the rank and file. When used in a Profit Sharing plan a 401(k) feature is often included to allow the rank and file to bump up their own retirement savings.A simple example will give the flavor of how these plans work (although it is simplified a little). Say you have a two-person company, an owner aged 55 making $160,000 and 2 employees aged 30, each making $40,000. Say the goal is for the owner to get a contribution of $30,000. Under IRS rules we can convert this to an annual benefit at age 65 by accumulating it at a stated interest rate (the highest allowed is 8,5%) to age 65 and then converting it to a life annuity (I use 9 for the annuity factor and that meets IRS rules) In this case the accumulation at age 65 would be 67,830, the annual benefit would be 7,537, and that would represent a benefit of 4.710% of pay.Now assume the plan gives the 2 employees 5% of pay each, or $1,500. Accumulating it to age 65 gives an accumulation of 26,069, the annual benefit would be 2,897, and that would represent a benefit of 9.65% of pay. Since the 9.65% benefit they are receiving exceeds the 4.710% of pay the owner is getting the plan satisfies the discrimination requirements.This kind of plan will cost more to set up and administer than a plain vanilla plan, but frequently the results are well worth it. Any technically competent pension administration firm can set this type of plan up.Sorry to be so long winded.Rich

|Classic pimento cheese sandwich, sliced homegrown tomatoes sprinkled w/ salt & pepper on the side.
When I think of pimento cheese, I recall making sandwiches with Pringles original potato chips stuffed alongside the cheese spread in between. I made this sandwich, almost daily, as soon as I'd come off the school bus which I rode to my Grandma's house. My grandparents always seemed to have pimento spread in supply. Sometimes we would line celery sticks with the concoction, other times it was spread on a Ritz. Having been in track for many years, I was a hungry girl and could afford the extra calories of the mayonnaise-y, cheesy mix...today, not so much. ; )
I never gave pimento cheese a thought until I was grown and would see it in magazines like Southern Living. Those write-ups and images put the spread on a pedestal and I thought how funny it looked under the spotlight. Pimento cheese is humble, after all, but it's also good eating. I guess it deserves a little spotlight.
If you've never tried pimento cheese spread OR if you've only ever tried the processed stuff from the grocery, try your hand at this recipe. It's simple, cheesy goodness.
1 cup mayonnaise (I only use Duke's mayo)
1 tsp. onion powder or 1 tbsp. freshly grated onion
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cajun seasoning
1 tsp. worcestershire sauce or a tsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
a splash of pepper sauce such as Tabasco
1 lb. mild cheddar, shredded
1 (4 oz.) jar diced pimentos
Grate cheese and set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and seasonings, mixing until full incorporated. Add shredded cheddar and pimentos, stirring until cheese and pimentos are completely coated in the mayo mixture. Keep refrigerated. Yields about 2 and 1/2 cups of spread. Serve on white bread, toasted or not, for a sandwich.
This recipe can be easily tailored to your liking. It's just the bones really. You can finely grate your cheese or shred it coarsely, put it through the food processor or mash it with a fork; use sharp or extra sharp cheddar or a combination of the two. Heck, you could even incorporate new cheeses, Colby Jack maybe? People have added diced jalapenos or pickle relish to their spread. Your imagination is the limit. It's really just a toss up and your preferences may depend widely on how you grew up eating it.
I tried my sandwich with toasted bread, a piece of bacon, and my tomato jelly. It was pure bliss.

Privathaftpflichtversicherung / private liability (Istanbul)
How and where can I get a private liability insurance?It seems, Turkey doesn't have such products?! In a case they pay the compensation for damages themselves. I also go often to Switzerland and without having such an insurance I feel quite uncomfortable.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance

There Once Was A Maiden
Dangerously close to the Northern Pole of Air, an ancient protected city holds Secrets that may have the power to set Creation's course back to rights.
Ruled by the enigmatic Premier Flickering Star, the city of Diamond Tower draws to it those whose births were hoped for by the starry Fates millennia before. The Premier sets those Starborn on the course to unlock Creation's greatest Secret, for only they walk the edge between Exaltations, beholden neither to its greatest weaknesses or greatest strengths.
The paths they walk will take them across Creation and beyond, to realms only whispered of in darkest night and hoped for at life's endings.
Before them lies the opportunity to stop Creation's greatest tragedy – or magnify it beyond all imagination.

For 10 years I was a lecturer in Media Arts and Science for Indiana University in Indianapolis, IN. In 2015 I realized that I was being called to become a mental health counselor and art therapist, so I gave up my life in Indiana and moved to the Desert Southwest to pursue my new dream. I am currently a graduate student at Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM. I will graduate in March 2019. My passions are creating art, photography, exploring nature, writing, working with plants and animals, and helping people search for healing and meaning.

We recently took a trip to Griot's Garage in Tacoma, Washington to visit with...
Book Review: Curves: Scotland (volume 8)
Article by Benjamin Shahrabani
Photos courtesy Delius Klasing
Title: Curves: Scotland
Author: Stefan Bogner
Publisher: Delius Klasing
Format: Paperback, 258 pages
Where to buy: Delius Klasing or Amazon
How much: 15 Euro or $19.98 (Amazon)
Scotland might not spring immediately to mind for an epic road trip — it didn't for me — but after perusing the stunning scenery captured within the eighth and latest entry in publisher Delius Klasing's "Curves" series, one might do well to reconsider, because it is plainly evident from the mountain passes and forest trails to lochs and coastal views that Scotland is an underappreciated driving paradise.
Scotland is a small country — about the size of South Carolina for comparison — and no part of the country is more than 50 miles from the sea. So while Scotland may lack the expansiveness or grandeur of the United States or continental Europe, it makes up for it in the quality and variety of its geography while being far quieter and more secluded due to its relative isolation. Author Stefan Bogner and his team travelled almost the entire breadth and width of Scotland in Porsche's latest Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. It's an indisputably epic drive with unique and sometimes jaw-dropping sights, and the photography of virtually empty roads, landscapes, and locales is at the same time both eerie and evocative. Included within is an accompanying map that offers route guidance, while an often-whimsical text (in both German and English as is the Delius Klasing custom) offers commentary about each leg of the drive, including distance, terrain, and any scenic stops.
Armchair road trippers might get their fill from within the pages of this book, but a much more likely outcome is the strong motivation to get out and go for a drive, wherever that might be. Inspiring.

I found the scale to be easy to set up. I like the fact that it can measure a lot of other things besides weight. You can enter your profile in which records your gender and height to get a better idea of where everything needs to be. You have to stand on the scale without socks on to get the other results but I think I was just mainly interested in my weight. Yes, I did stand on the scale in my socks but I found it to be accurate with my weight anyway. It was probably off by 1 pound on two separate occasions which I could have been shifting my weight a certain way. The design on the scale is really nice and could fit into any bathroom easily but I like to keep my scale in my bedroom. I just don't trust shower steam and moisture possibly getting inside of the device to mess it up. It does come with its battery but you do have to pull out the tab to activate it.

Recently, the city of Irwindale, located in Los Angeles County voted unanimously in favor of a resolution in support of the national motto. The resolution was drafted by Kevin Snider, Chief Counsel at Pacific Justice Institute, at the request of the City. While a number of cities throughout CA have recently voted to display the national motto, one recent such move by the City of Ontario prompted threats of a lawsuit from the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation. PJI has offered to defend the City of Ontario free of charge should any lawsuit actually be filed. PJI also successfully defended the use of "In God We Trust" on our nation's currency at the Federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a lawsuit filed by atheist Michael Newdow.
The efforts to encourage cities to officially support the national motto in the face of atheist threats and lawsuits has been spearheaded by Bakersfield Councilwoman Jacquie Sullivan, who founded and heads In God We Trust – America. PJI has been working alongside Ms. Sullivan to ensure that cities which support the national motto are legally protected.
Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, commented "We applaud the City of Irwindale and other cities like it that are taking a stand to support the national motto in the face of threats from anti-religious zealots. We are committed to defend the national motto and other national symbols and traditions against any and all legal challenges."

Historic agreement gives Vanuatu access to US Coast Guard vessels for maritime law enforcementPosted: November 2, 2016 Filed under: The Daily Digest | Tags: ADB, fisheries, IUU, politics, United States, USA, Vanuatu Comments Off on Historic agreement gives Vanuatu access to US Coast Guard vessels for maritime law enforcement
Vanuatu and the United States have sealed a new maritime law enforcement agreement. The Law Enforcement Accord and Ship Rider Agreement between the two countries, signed on Monday, will allow Vanuatu's law enforcement officers to use United States Coast Guard ships as platforms for boarding suspicious ships anywhere in Vanuatu's EEZ. This is to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activity. Other Pacific countries to have signed similar agreements with the USA are Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Palau, FSM and the Cook Islands. Ambassador Catherine Ebert-Gray said that the United States wants to build maritime security in partnership with Pacific island countries. The agreement has helped Kiribati achieve US$4 million in fines in a single year. (Radio Vanuatu)
The first ever off-loading of frozen tuna fish from the Vanuatu EEZ will be witnessed tomorrow morning at the Sino/Vanuatu Fisheries in Port Vila, the joint venture intending to operate from the allegedly inappropriate site at Blacksands. Fifty tons of albacore tuna will be off-loaded from 6am. Sino/Vanuatu has 47 off-loadings out of an allowable 70 such in a year. All Vanuatu-registered such vessels must deposit their catch in Vanuatu. Tomorrow's off-loading will be experimental. (Radio Vanuatu)
The Asian Development Bank and Vanuatu have signed a new agreement this week. It will enable a strengthening of development programs underway. (Radio Vanuatu)
The main news expected today and awaited by mainstream and social media did not happen as expected. No judgement has been announced in the Constitutional case of the 14 MPs jailed in relation to bribery charges. They were in court this morning together with their legal counsels, led by the former Attorney-General and present Opposition Leader Ishmael Kalsakau. The court seemed to have been politically packed as the case was not actually listed, even as recently as 4:30pm yesterday, but half an hour before the start time of 9am today every seat was taken. Kalsakau again raised the fundamental MP rights issue and problems seen with prosecutions starting when a Parliamentary sitting is due. Justice
Chetwynd Geoghegan regards the issues as important. Judgement is reserved. The matter is a priority. Release of the decision will be made in due course.
