Natural-Born Citizen per Justice Ginsberg
Natural-Born Citizen per Justice Ginsberg?
by JB Williams
In the Supreme Court Case – Tuan Anh Nguyen v. INS – Justice Ginsberg made the following statements… affirming that the world recognizes "birthrights" of the Father (not the mother), and bloodline rather than birth place as the foundation for inherited citizenship by birthright… aka, "natural-born citizenship."
- "Mr. Kneedler, I have a problem with it [Kneedler's argument]. You would surely have a huge statelessness problem if you didn't recognize that the child born abroad to U.S. citizens is a U.S. citizen because, as you point out, in most countries in the world, they go by blood, not by land of birth." – "You call the child born abroad an alien, but in most places in the world that child would NOT be a citizen of the place in which that person is born; isn't that so?"
- "Well, I thought you said in your brief that in most places, and I think it's right, they do not go on just solely, they go on parentage."
- "Mr. Kneedler, If Congress went back to the way it was when everything was determined by the father's citizenship, go back to before 1934, suppose congress accepts your argument or we accept your argument and say plenary power, they can do whatever they damn please, so they say children born abroad of fathers who are U.S. citizens can become U.S. citizens, but not children who are born abroad of U.S. mothers where the father in an alien. That's the way it used to be in the bad old days."
- "Suppose Congress wants to restore the way it was, the way it was for most of our nation's history, that the father's citizenship gets transferred to the child, not the mother's?"
- "You are talking to children not born to a marriage…"
TUAN ANH NGUYEN et al. v. IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION SERVICE
No. 99—2071. Argued January 9, 2001–Decided June 11, 2001
Petitioner Tuan Anh Nguyen was born out of wedlock in Vietnam to a Vietnamese citizen and copetitioner Joseph Boulais, a United States citizen. Nguyen became a lawful permanent United States resident at age six and was raised by Boulais. At age 22, Nguyen pleaded guilty in a Texas state court to two counts of sexual assault on a child. Subsequently, respondent Immigration and Naturalization Service initiated deportation proceedings against him based on his serious criminal offenses. The Immigration Judge ordered him deportable. Boulais obtained an order of parentage from a state court while Nguyen's appeal was pending before the Board of Immigration Appeals, but the Board dismissed the appeal, rejecting Nguyen's citizenship claim because he had not complied with 8 U.S.C. § 1409(a)'s requirements for one born out of wedlock and abroad to a citizen father and a noncitizen mother. On appeal, the Fifth Circuit rejected petitioners' claim that §1409 violates equal protection by providing different citizenship rules for children born abroad and out of wedlock depending on whether the citizen parent is the mother or the father.
From the decision – "§1409(a)(4) [DNA of the father] represents a reasonable legislative conclusion that the satisfaction of one of several alternatives will suffice to establish the father-child blood link required as a predicate to the child's acquisition of citizenship."
Ginsberg is clearly familiar with the Law of Nations, as were the Founding Fathers of the United States, and the birthright of children based upon the father's bloodline, a matter of "natural law" recognized the world over.
She would also be familiar with the respected writings of Vattel in his 1758 book on the topic of "sovereign citizenship" from which the U.S. Founders borrowed the term "natural-born citizen" as a requirement for the offices of President and Vice President.
Vattel is VERY clear on the matter - "I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country." - "The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children;"
Our Founding Fathers were equally unambiguous - "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."
Also from the decision – "Finally, even a facially neutral rule would sometimes require fathers to take additional affirmative steps which would not be required of mothers, whose names will be on the birth certificate as a result of their presence at the birth, and who will have the benefit of witnesses to the birth to call upon. Pp. 7—9."
As we know, Barack Hussein Obama has thus far refused to release a 1961 birth certificate which he claims to possess, which will include time, date and place of birth, as well as witnesses to the birth. Obama has instead, offered three different 2007 COLBs (Certification of Live Birth), which are readily available to anyone with a Hawaiian street address as a form of ID and are purchased by those who do NOT have an actual birth certificate.
This not only affirms all of my previous works on the subject of Barack Hussein Obama and his ineligibility for the office of president, it confirms that even the most far left liberal member of the U.S. Supreme Court knows that Obama is NOT a "natural born citizen" of the United States, but rather a "natural born citizen" of his father's country, Kenya.
On this basis, at the very best, Barack Hussein Obama II could be a "14th Amendment Citizen" – a naturalized "dual" citizen with "divided" national loyalties. He cannot hold the office of president or vice president.
This means that Barack Hussein Obama is NOT eligible for the office of president, and is therefore, an imposter, a fraud and a usurper of the U.S. Constitution. It also means that everyone in Washington DC is aware…and complicit in the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on U.S. citizens and the world.
Obama's Department of Justice will never allow a single case over Obama's eligibility to enter a courtroom, rushing DOJ lawyers around the country to file dismissals for Obama, based on "a lack of standing" on the part of U.S. citizens.
They already know that Obama is a fraud. They dare not allow any court in the land to hear the evidence, as they already know the most likely outcome of a trial that forces Obama to become a "transparent" president.
John F. Kennedy left behind two very pertinent quotes for this occasion…
- "A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
- "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
Oh, if only today's Democrats had the backbone of JFK or Thomas Jefferson.

It transpires that Sol Bamba was eligible to turn out for Cardiff City after all, despite Crawley Town examining similarities between his departure from Leeds United and the severance of Dean Cox's contract at Leyton Orient.
Cox terminated his deal soon after the August transfer deadline and signed for Crawley a fortnight later but transfer-window rules forbid him from playing for his new club until January. Leeds announced Bamba's exit on September 1 – also after the closure of the window – but the Football League confirmed this week that his contract was officially severed prior to the 11pm deadline. So Bamba can represent Cardiff now and all is well with the Football League's rulebook.
The governing body is unlikely to field many queries like that, or not related to the Championship anyway, because FIFA's attempts to rid the lower leagues of signings between windows is largely working. Cardiff have taken on a handful of free agents but Cardiff are in trouble and much as Neil Warnock is relieving himself in the wind by chasing an eighth promotion there, he would rather not add another relegation to his record. Elsewhere, the division is quiet.
It was never in Garry Monk's mind to readily exploit the last remaining loophole in FIFA's system of transfers. Leeds United's head coach promised to monitor the market as managers do but he is quietly happy with the players on offer to him. "We're not the biggest squad in the world," he said on Monday, "but I like that. It gives everyone the right opportunity."
That leads us to the conclusion that if Monk is going to find a way to eke more goals from his side before Christmas, the fix will not come from the raft of free agents who are patiently looking for work. It will come from within his existing pool. And two players in particular remain untapped 13 games into the season.
Untapped arguably does a slight disservice to Marcus Antonsson, Leeds' player-of-the-month in August and a forward whose aptitude is obvious to the naked eye, but his short cameo at Derby County on Saturday, the shoot-on-sight, poacher's attitude which saw him hit the post in the 95th minute, begged the question again of how best to integrate a bona fide striker.
Antonsson merits that description. In Sweden's Allsvenskan – a top-flight league, however it stands up against the Championship – he was averaging almost five shots a game in the fixtures before his transfer to England. He posed that threat for a club in Kalmar who were not troubling the sharp end of the table. Antonsson has been far lighter on goals with Leeds than he was in Sweden but he is producing two efforts a game to Chris Wood's three having played around half as many minutes.
An online blog, The City Talking, likens him to Davide Somma and the comparison is a good one. Somma, before his chronic knee injuries, was a tricky, imaginative and relatively quick striker who above all else needed no encouragement to shoot. He came up with goals. Antonsson's shot against the post at Derby was akin to Somma's volley against Norwich; something from nothing within minutes of coming off the bench. And yet on the bench was where Somma found himself most often. Simon Grayson couldn't make him fit.
Monk squeezed Antonsson into his team in August by retreating to the conformity of a four-man midfield. If that suited Antonsson, it suited very few others. Leeds are better in their current system and they did not fall down at Derby on the basis of their pressing or their shape. It was, as Monk said, a case of being disciplined without the ball but directionless with it, until Derby got their goal and began to panic about protecting it. Whether Antonsson arrived on the field too late on Saturday is not really the point. What matters before January is finding a suitable method of involving him.
With Kemar Roofe, regular involvement would be a start. Leeds paid £3m for him in the summer, going down the Charlie Austin route by spending a fair chunk of their money on a player who was tearing up a lower league. Roofe's form, his League Two player-of-the-year form, has not translated at all but it should come as no surprise to him that the Championship is quicker, stronger and more stingy by half. Matej Vydra is a 20-goal striker in this division. On Saturday, Derby's striker ran himself into the ground in return for two chances, one of which was offside. In Roofe's defence, he is a player stepping up this year. Antonsson, Pontus Jansson, Kyle Bartley, Pablo Hernandez – all have played in domestic top-flight leagues. Perhaps Leeds considered that when they offered Roofe a four-year contract.
Yet Roofe has a striker's brain in his head. Eighteen league goals and numerous assists for Oxford United last season speak for themselves but Roofe maintained an average of three shots a match through the year, almost half of them on target. Oxford's shots on goal were the highest in League Two. Leeds are not trying to turn him into something he isn't. Roofe is rather in the business of acclimatising and adapting to a league he doesn't know.
Monk will doubtless move for a new striker in January because United need one. They wanted one in August and found various avenues blocked as the window began to close. Monk is taking his medicine to a certain extent but he does have something left in reserve. Between Antonsson and Roofe he could find a way to give a disciplined team some sharper teeth.

Photographer's Note
I took this image few minutes after the previous one, while I was waiting the bus for another "Journey Across Nature Event". The pigeon was positioned in a good spot and we can see the hand of the same Jesus of the previous shot.
Tirei esta foto poucos minutos depois da foto anterior. Eu estava esperando o ônibus que nos levaria em mais uma "Caminhada na Natureza". De fato a pomba estava bem colocada e a mão do mesmo Jesus estava perfeita para a cena.

Hello Jorge,
Another great close-up of this sculpture, I really like its warm tones, made even more appealing here thanks to the pleasant sunlight. Excellent composition with the hand outstretched to the pigeon.

Hello Jorge,
Effective tight framing with good sharpness and excellent color and saturation. The red robes contrast well with the blue sky. I loaded a similar shot I spotted in Athens Museum. Tfs!

A fun shot, well spotted.

Hello Jorge,
It's an amusing photo but the pigeon is smart. It knows the statue well and feels perfectly secure it will not try to catch him (or maybe her). It was a good idea to focus on this little drama, leaving the rest of the statue. I like the fine light and pleasant colours.
Kind regards,

Hi Jorge
Well, I have to admit the colour of the Jesus sculpture is starting to grow on me, maybe its not so bad after all. but even more than the colour, I like the ridges, the textures and the dirt on it. Pigeons must poop on this all the time haha

Hola Jorge.
Muy bien captado el momento y este plano, que destaca la mano de la escultura, que parece dirigirse a la paloma.
Pienso que son unos animales que hacen mucho daño a las obras de arte en las ciudades y ello es por la gran masificacion que hay de las mismas, pues no tienen depredadores como otros animales, con lo cual se equilibra su numero.
Muy buena la luminosidad y perfecta nitidez.
Que tengas una buena noche.
Saludos muy cordiales.

For the first time in nearly four months, Oscar Pistorius, the South African Paralympian accused of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, has appeared in court.
During the 15-minute hearing, according to reports, Pistorius cut a much more composed figure than he did at his weeklong bail hearing in February, during which he frequently broke down in tears. Police arrested Pistorius on Valentine's Day and charged him with murdering Steenkamp. Pistorius acknowledged at the bail hearing that he shot Steenkamp, a 29-year-old model, through the bathroom door at his home in a secure compound in Pretoria, but he denies murder and says that he mistook his girlfriend, with whom he says he had spent a quiet night at his home, for an intruder hiding in the bathroom. He said at the bail hearing that he shot her with a gun he kept for security. The defense argues that the murder charge should be reduced to culpable homicide. At today's hearing Judge Daniel Thulare postponed the case until Aug. 19 (which by coincidence would have been Steenkamp's 30th birthday). The prosecution had asked for more time to prepare for the case.
Pistorius' brief appearance in court (he spoke just once, to confirm that he understood the magistrate's instructions not to violate his bail conditions before his next court appearance in August) has for the first time in months cast the spotlight on the 26-year-old, who became the first double-leg amputee to compete in the Olympics. A 400-m runner, he raced against able-bodied athletes at the London Olympics last year. Pistorius has made only a few confirmed trips out of his uncle's house in Pretoria since February.
(MORE: The Pistorius Case: Do Police Claims Fit the Story?)
His coach Ampie Louw told the Daily Telegraph that, while Pistorius is continuing to train at home, "mentally, he's still battling." His manager Peet Van Zyl told Der Spiegel: "Oscar sleeps poorly. He eats poorly. When you talk to him, of course he listens but I don't reach him, he's not there. He cries a lot." That's in contrast to claims (which are disputed by Pistorius) made in South Africa's Sunday Times in April that a "relaxed-looking and talkative" Pistorius was seen out drinking and socializing in Johannesburg, in the same week that his family released a statement saying that he mourned Steenkamp's death every moment of the day.
Postponing the trial, Thulare warned against "trial by media," after grisly images purportedly of the crime scene leaked to Britain's Sky News channel showed what appeared to be bullet holes in the bathroom door and a trail of blood leading from the bathroom. Pistorius' lawyers have alleged that the police deliberately leaked the images in order to influence the trial, while the police have blamed the defense team for the leak.
(MORE: Oscar Pistorius Shooting: How Strict Are South Africa's Gun Laws?)
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority insisted that the leaked pictures won't affect the case, and that evidence collected at the scene by police was adequately secured, reports News24, after earlier reports implied that the crime scene may have been contaminated. During his testimony at the February bail hearing for Pistorius, the former lead detective in the case, Hilton Botha, admitted that police could have contaminated the crime scene and failed to properly catalog evidence.
Pistorius' reappearance in public has also refocused attention on Steenkamp's parents, who are still searching for answers about what really happened to their daughter. A documentary titled Why Did Oscar Pistorius Kill Our Daughter? aired on Monday on Britain's Channel 5. In it, Steenkamp's mother claimed the model was afraid of Pistorius, whom she had been dating for just a few months, and that the couple had argued frequently in the weeks leading up to her death. The program also showed some of Steenkamp's personal letters, photographs and drawings, including what her parents called a "premonition": a picture painted by the teenage Reeva depicting a gunman, an angel and a stairway to heaven.

ClaretandHugh's ExWHUemployee column
Well I have spent the last week without much WI-FI and signal away with work and have had a lot to catch up with on my return. Big Sam is back in management with Sunderland. The papers did their usual trick of linking him with a number of ex-players as is the norm whenever a new manager is appointed.
The only player who is likely to join Sam at the moment is Kevin Nolan. Whilst, believe it or not, Sam realises his influence as a player is dwindling his power as a captain is still there and is desperately needed at a club short of leaders and short of morale. There is a chance that he will also look to bring in Carlton Cole (although he has been training with Celtic but not signed yet due to an injury set back and long contract talks).
Ricardo Vaz Te is another possible arrival. The rumours of a bid for James Tomkins were completely wide of the mark. Bilic has been impressed with him, especially at right back and he sees him as a decent centre back to, although Ogbonna and Reid remain the first choice pairing.
James Tomkins and Big Sam didn t always see eye to eye so it isn t the case, as is with Nolan, that Tomkins would have a massive desire to be reunited with his former boss. They fell out over the player s insistence on playing for Great Britain in the 2012 Olympics and also when Sam hit out at the defender for his playacting away at Everton. Another player been linked with the club is Morgan Amalfitano who was rarely selected by Sam despite some impressive performances last year.
The midfielder is also unavailable until January having not been released before the August Window closed as is the case with Emmanuel Adebayor, who will also become a target for Sam in January. I would say that James Collins to Sunderland is far more likely to happen than Tomkins, given that we have tried to move him on and he was more of a Big Sam player. The appointment of Sam s backroom staff will be interesting seeing as McDonald, Sheringham and Ian Hendon all have manager jobs elsewhere.
An interesting development this week has been with the ladies team and they seem to be getting the publicity they wanted but all for the wrong reasons. Six players walked out this week with the Captain and figurehead of many years Stacey Little being told she was surplus to requirements. It was always going to be a very difficult job for any manager to replace Julian Dicks as not only is he a club legend but he was popular amongst the ladies.
This could be the reason why a number of ex-players, despite being initially interested, chose not to apply for the manager s position in the summer. The criticism thrown at Marc Nurse is that he has never managed a ladies team before, only academy teams, but this was also the case with Julian Dicks. I think it is a very sad moment when a player such as Stacey Little is released.
I know first-hand how much she cares and has done for the club in previous years and her departure doesn t seem fitting after all she has put into the club. The ladies involved have been quite vocal in their disapproval of the current manager and where the club is going. The club have chosen a quieter approach and will not put in the public arena their reasons behind certain decisions.
I find myself really keen to sit on the fence with this as I have always got on well with Stacey and love the passion she has for her football. I also get on well with the chairman and a couple of players who decided to stay on with the club. The result today was embarrassing although the club did lose 5-0 in the Cup Final to the same outfit last year.
Clearly results need to start taking a more positive turn and positive vibes need to come out of the club. The situation is worrying and the good vibes caused by all the sponsorship money raised seem a distant memory. I hope that they do from the next game but I also hope that some of the players that have departed either can return to the club or certainly continue to have successes in the game.
One person associated with the club who has proven a lot of people wrong recently is Darren Randolph. I suffered a lot of criticism for defending him when he was called upon to replace Adrian for his three game suspension. Yes he had looked dodgy in Europe but so did many players and it was way too soon to write him off, given that he was highly rated before he arrived.
He achieved a MOM award against Bournemouth and two clean sheets away at Liverpool and at home v Newcastle. He has now gone onto keep a clean sheet against Germany and even get an assist . A number of people I know have been to the Olympic Stadium to watch the rugby and they tell me how great it is.
I was also lucky enough to get one of them to film the view from my seat and I was impressed and delighted at my new view. The club have started to draw up a list of players to scout for potential moves in January. Players will need to move on though in order for purchases ro be made.
What is exciting for the club is that Ogbonna, Carroll, Valencia and Song are all at or near full fitness. Having these four back to their best will be a massive boost to our already impressive start. I was delighted to get through and be nominated in the football blogging awards.
I now am through to the final and I go against a number of top blogs with far more followers than I have. I would be delighted if you would vote for me either via the website here under the social awards http://www.footballbloggingawards.co.uk/vote-now/ or by tweeting my vote here http://t.co/yD2gHCvbYi 1 . I am sure Claret and Hugh would have been a contender too had they put themselves forward but Hugh s not big on awards competitions and all the stuff yhat goes with them LOL..
I am also looking to speak to people who would like to attend the awards with me so please get in touch via my twitter account if you are keen.
The game next week against Palace is a massive one as both are in form sides, it will be a real marker as to where we are and I think we will get a result.

text: Hello, I currently have a Mid 2009 13" MBP with 8gb Ram, 2.26 dual core processor and 160GB HDD. I got a a GoPro for Christmas and found that the machine just isnt up to the task of editing the videos with Premiere 11. My uses for the machine are general use, along with beginner-hoping-to-learn/grow Video and Photo editing. At this point the current MBP I have cannot even play the raw vids smoothly to edit. I have tried all kinds of things with the help from the Adobe forum and after all was said and done, the problem seems to be too slow/old of a CPU to handle things. Poor thing is maxed all the time. Any kind of rendering takes 60+ minutes for even 10 min vids shot at 1080p30fps. I am looking at getting a new Mac. So far I have narrowed down to a current 13" MCP 2.9 i7 with 8gb of RAM and the base 750gb 5400RPM HDD. Any upgrades to both of those specs I can do myself. Other option is a 15" MBP, but not sure on the specs I would be happy with. I know the 15" models have a little bit slower CPU, but have a dedicated GPU. Final option is an iMac, but what I dont like about those is the lack of portability and upgrade ability. From what I understand, unless you go with the top 27" model (which only allows RAM upgrade at that) you are stuck with what you order. Questions are: Will the 13" work out well for what I want-concerned about the on-board graphics being able to handle the editing. Like I said, just beginner level video editing stuff, but hope to get better. How much does the graphics capability have to do with video editing? If I go with a 15" model is there that much difference between the different CPU's or GPU's for my need? Would an iMac work that much better to make it worth the drawbacks of not upgradeable or portable? Kind of a broad spectrum, but I feel I am getting closer to what I will be happy with. My 2009 works fine and would not be on the chopping block if it could play back the editing timeline smoother. Thanks! DAVE

Neels Gap
My headlamp reflected off the fog, putting a white veil over my eyes. All I could see was the ground around my soaked feet. Then, with five miles to go, the batteries in my headlamp began to die. I was on my only spare set. I underestimated how much night hiking we'd be doing, and how quickly my headlamp would burn through them. The light at my feet dimmed to the brightness of moonlight, at best. Sometimes I felt the ground soften and I knew I was off the hard-packed trail and had to turn around. The white blazes were frustratingly sparse, as well. At one point, I passed a blue blaze, a sobering sign that you may not be on the AT, you may be lost.
Getting lost in the woods on a moonless foggy night feels like treading water in the middle of an immense dark lake without a clue where the shore is. Thorny branches, that I couldn't see, reached out to grab my wrists. Tree roots seemed to be trying to knock me off my feet.
This is a good time to point out that we all sent our tents home, since we had only been sleeping in shelters and wanted to reduce our pack weight. I had no choice but to keep going.
Finally, a few hours later, I saw a security light glowing in the fog. It was the hostel at Neel's Gap. I called them earlier in the afternoon to see if I could arrive after hours and still get a bed for the night. I knocked on the partially open door of the historic stone building and poked my head in. "Is this the hiker hostel?" I asked.
"You're 14 minutes late!" said the hostel operator named Pirate who was waiting up for me. At last, a warm dry place.
"I just put your plate of food in the fridge," he said.
"Food?" I thought. I didn't expect food to be waiting for me. Pirate walked to the fridge, pulled out a plate covered in pink plastic wrap, and put it in the microwave. His long scraggly beard was dabbled in gray. His t-shirt had the words, "Pirate for life" sitting above his large round belly.
The other thru-hiker in the room walked over to me. "Are you Sundowner?" I asked. I knew I was getting closer to him from his entries in the trail registries.
"Yeah, that's me," he said and gave me a hug. "Congratulations on your thru-hike!"
"Thanks, you too!" I said, even though we still had 30 miles left.
My food finished warming up. "Wow, I wasn't expecting hot food to be waiting for me. I can't thank you enough," I said. "It was a rough night."
"It's Hanukkah! This is your Hanukkah dinner," Pirate said. He put the plate in front of me with a huge pork chop on it surrounded by potatoes, gravy, and green beans. "I put on some Hanukkah music, too. I even have a menorah on the table under the Christmas Tree."
Pirate went back to the fridge, "So, Ryan, do you want beer or wine?"
Never in my life have I gone from being so miserable to being so completely happy so quickly.

Last autumn I decided to go back to weaving. I had a serious break of four years in doing anything in this craft. But then...in one month I created three small tapestries.
"Złote Zatopione" (which translates: "Sunk golden...") is my favourite. I used several kinds of linen thread and twine in contrast with gold embroidery thread. The piece is done mostly in plain weave and 'pick and pick' method.
|Pic. 1: "Złote Zatopione"
|Pic. 2: "Złote zatoopione" - detail
"Srebrne zawieszone" ("Silver suspended"): the background combines plain weave, 'pick and pick' and elements of soumak done in various linen threads and twines, cotton thread, with touch of silver thread. Rectangular and square forms are done on small separate warps attached to the background, in plain weave only, each of them - in one kind of thread (linen, cotton or silver).
|Pic. 3: "Srebrne zawieszone"
|Pic. 4: "Srebrne zawieszone" - detail
"Pasma i smugi" ("Bands and streaks") is woven as one piece, with wool, soy and silk fibres, silk, linen and gold threads. I used here several methods: plain weave, twill, soumak and 'pick and pick'.
|Pic. 5: "Pasma i smugi"
|Pic. 6: "Pasma i smugi" - detail
* * *
Two of those miniature tapestries: "Złote zatopione" and "Srebrne zawieszone", were accepted to be part of the 1st annual exhibition of miniature tapestries 20x20 in Poland (Przegląd Tkaniny Unikatowej 20x20). The exhibition was shown in Warsaw and Gdansk between January and April this year.
|Pic. 7: The poster announcing the openings of the exhibition in Warsaw and Gdansk.
|Pic. 8: Me - with my two miniatures at the opening in Gdansk.
My miniature tapestries are a result of skills I had learned at Folk University in Turno (sadly this school was closed down a long time ago), years of experience of embroidering with metallic threads and ... working with my students on their, not only woven, projects.
...and... I developed a new taste in combining very contrasting materials: rough unbleached linen and shiny metallic threads.
Where will it go???

When you're a god used to embarking on harrowing adventures in Asgard, Earth can be a bit dull. I mean no offense by this statement – it's merely an observation.
But there is something I find very enjoyable here: books.
We had books in Asgard, but they weren't like the books here. Books here are mystical, captivating, and they like very much to steal hours of my time away every night.
I couldn't stop reading books once I found them.
It seemed only natural that after a while I might try writing one to see how hard it could be. Stark suggested I purchase a pad of paper and a pen and jot down my thoughts at odd times.
They were...strange at first, to say the least. I didn't know what I was doing. So I read some more and realized I needed things called characters and also conflict. Bit by bit I started to string a story together. That story turned into a full-length novel.
I wasn't planning on letting anyone read it. But of course Stark stole the pages one day and read them. When I found out, I considered smashing his head with my hammer, but then he told me it was "actually pretty good for a guy with long hair." He said I should think about publishing it.
Great, I said. I'll publish it tonight!
Unfortunately, after several failed attempts, I realized what I thought "publishing a book" meant wasn't actually going to get it into bookstores. Stark recommended using something called the "internet" and "google" to learn more about the process. So I did!
I found out there were a couple different ways I could go about getting published. The one I decided to try involved this thing called a literary agent. I'd never heard of the term before, but google helped me find a definition from this place called The Free Dictionary:
LITERARY AGENT. (noun)
A professional agent who acts on behalf of an author in dealing
with publishers and others involved in promoting the author's work.
Now, the way you go about contacting this literary agent is by sending out a query letter – a short, intriguing description of the book you wrote – but I'm not going into that right now. I am here to tell you what I learned a literary agent helps writers with. See, all these months later, I have an agent and she helped me find a publishing house who bought my manuscript! I couldn't believe it when it happened. And I bet you don't believe it either, so here are the top three things you should know make an agent a fantastic person to work with as a writer (presuming the agent is qualified – check their history of book sales and speak with their clients if you aren't sure):
- A good agent will have connections. Your agent has the connections and the know-how to get your manuscript in front of many beautiful editors at publishing houses big and small.
- A good agent will take care of legal matters. Your agent allows you to focus on your writing while he/she takes care of things like how much money you're going to receive in advance for your book (they try for a big number), what your royalty percentages are, and what rights you keep for yourself. Your agent is well equipped to hack-and-slash a publishing contract so you won't accidentally sell your soul to Loki. They'll work out the best deal possible.
- A good agent will keep you sane. Your agent believes in you. When you' ae in the throes of revisions and beating yourself over the head with your hammer because you're fairly certain your writing is getting worse, your agent will kindly remind you that you are not, in fact, a terrible writer – you're just having a bad day. He/she will help you get through it.
There you have it. I am happy to answer any specific questions about why you think you may or may not need an agent in the comments.
Happy Monday,

Organisation of responsible supply chain management
Here, you can get help to organise the work of responsible supply chain management as part of the company's day-to-day operations.
Allow senior management to take ownership
It is the management's responsibility that priority is given to responsible supply chain management.
Senior management should take ownership and communicate the level of ambition for responsible supply chain management activities to all employees. This will contribute to making responsible supply chain management an integrated part of the company's business strategy, and to making the business benefits clear to the organisation.
It is also senior management's responsibility to allocate the resources needed for the work and to ensure that the company's incentive structure supports the intentions behind responsible supply chain management. If procurement staff are rewarded first and foremost for ensuring inexpensive or rapid deliveries, this can present a dilemma for them.
"Responsible supply chain management is a fixed item on the agenda at all Group management meetings, which means that I have the opportunity to spend 30 minutes talking about our progress and challenges. I don't always use this opportunity, but it ensures that I can always put any dilemmas or conflicts on the agenda."
Peter Kristensen, CSR & Environment Manager, DLH
Allocate tasks and responsibility
Responsibility for responsible supply chain management requires someone with a good overview of the company's supply chain.
It is a good idea to assign overall responsibility to an employee with an understanding of production conditions in the supply chain. This person may be the production manager or quality manager, or the purchasing manager. This employee's primary task is to establish processes for responsible supply chain management, designate the other employees to be involved directly in the work, and ensure that they are equipped for their tasks.
It can be an advantage to involve the employees that are already in contact with suppliers, so that you build the CSR dialogue on existing relations with suppliers. This will typically be procurement staff, and it is a good idea to involve them at an early stage, so that they can contribute to formulating expectations of suppliers' CSR programmes and establishing supply chain management processes. This will equip them to perform assessments of the suppliers' CSR programmes and to engage in dialogue on CSR improvements.
Other employees that work on your own CSR programme can be resources that both procurement staff and suppliers can consult as part of the work of improving CSR, such as employees that work with environmental issues, health and safety, product development, HR, etc.
Use the company's existing systems
It can be an advantage to expand and adapt your existing management systems
If your company has established procedures for the systematic evaluation of suppliers' quality, prices and delivery times, etc., it will often be a good idea to incorporate processes for responsible supply chain management in the existing system.
In this way, you can integrate responsible supply chain management into your day-to-day operations, and you will eliminate the need for two different supplier evaluation systems. This will also ensure that your responsible supply chain management does not conflict with your procurement practices, and that it promotes dialogue and cooperation with suppliers to live up to your CSR requirements.

I love Le Creuset and this soup pot is just perfect for family meals! I make a lot of soups and sauces in cold weather and this is ideal.

Can tomatoe sauce be cooked in this pot?
BEST ANSWER: Absolutely! Being Italian, that was important for me as well. I have cooked spaghetti sauce, vegetable soup and chili in this pot and it's fantastic! I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to get it.

can la creuset stock pot go in oven?
BEST ANSWER: I don't believe the stock pots can. The other Le Creuset "bakeware" can but with the stock pot it has a plastic type handle on top which would not be oven safe. I just wouldn't take the chance.

Post subject: A series of trip reports from this winter and spring
What's up, hope everyone is doing well!
Since I've been lagging due to various computer issues, deaths in the family, getting molars pulled, wicked snowstorms and lots of powder turns, I decided to consolidate all of my trip reports from this winter (and spring) into one big thing. What a wild ride this season was, so here goes:
Tahoe, December 12-14, 2008
Even though another snowstorm was lurking I decided to brave it and headed for South Lake on Fri, December 12. I was greeted with the tiniest Ford Focus I've ever seen at the rental car place! "Hope this makes it over the grade," I thought to myself.
Believe it or not, the only place I could get into in Stateline was at Montbleu, everything else was outrageously overpriced for that weekend due to the Tahoe Film Festival. It wasn't the first place I would've picked after my hell trip a couple years back but it was pretty much the only option at $79 per night casino rate. I guess enough people have raised hell about their customer service that they're finally getting a bit more organized. They put me in a premiere room on the 15th floor, no problems at all, really strong WiFi connection and an awesome view of Heavenly. The hot tub was really powerful. Didn't drop a red cent in any of their machines with the exception of the free $10 of slot play which went in about 5 seconds.
Next day, snowboarded all day at Heavenly...in 50 mph winds and really bad visibility. Only a few trails open, so gotta keep it fun right?
Lost about $250 between Harveys and the Horizon that evening. They still have the $7 prime rib moonlight special at the Horizon coffee shop, it's always good.
Back on the slopes the next morning to watch the wind clear up, and for it to start dumping again...hard! I decided not to take Kingsbury Grade going back home because of the little rental car, so I went straight down Hwy. 50. About a mile down the road, the "Chains Required 1 Mile Ahead" sign was flashing. Turned around, went to Raley's supermarket and picked up a cheap set of tire chains for the little rental car. Turns out, the roads going down were pretty clear so it was kind of a wasted purchase at the moment. Started dumping again hard in Carson City, but was clear until I was about 20 miles outside of Mammoth. The chains came in handy after all, only way in and out of town! Actually lost them and spun out in the snow right in front of the rental car place at the airport...close one!
Down about $300 on this trip but still had fun.
Reno, January 9-11, 2009
Some of you might remember all of the computer trouble I had earlier in the year. My first machine got stolen during UPS shipment, and I noticed that the screen started going on the fritz on the replacement that took forever to get. So, the main purpose of this trip was an appointment with the Apple Store (and the Peppermill).
This time, no snow or stormy weather whatsoever on the roads here, so go figure that they gave me a free upgrade to a 4x4 at the rental car place on this trip! Just when you need it the least...
I responded to an offer I received from the Peppermill for 2 nites in a Grand Suite for $59 per night, not bad at all for a suite on a weekend. Got into town at about 11 pm and was checked in on the 10th floor. Fortunately, I got one last view of the old ghetto decor...this one hadn't been remodeled yet!
Everything was in really good condition and everything worked. The hot tub, steam shower, refrigerator, icemaker, ac, everything was in really good shape. I still don't understand why they don't at least keep some of the suites the old way, I haven't encountered any trashed ones yet. I think it's the tower rooms that were in major need of remodel. I did happen to catch a glimpse of the new tower rooms while housekeeping was on my hall and was actually close to the front elevators where the three hallways connect. Two of the hallways were decked out with the new carpet, and the third hallway was still the old zebra skin stuff. It was pretty funny, a little bit of the old and new throughout the whole trip. The only downfall was that I got stuck in a pink suite...
Went down to the casino and like the case has been lately, no new machines anywhere at the Pep, so I decided to stick with the old standbys. Sure glad I did! After being down about $150, within an hour, the wins were as follows:
$150 on the three coin $1 Double Ten Times Pay (never fails me...)
$200 mixed 7's on the three coin $1 Blazing 7's
Another $200 mixed 7's on the three coin $1 Blazing 7's right beside it
ANOTHER $200 mixed 7's on the three coin $1 Double Blazing 7's on the next aisle
$500 on the three coin $1 Diamond Line Frenzy
Played about $150 of it back, and called it a night...up about $1100!
Next morning, it was off to the Apple Store. Don't ask how or why this happened to my brand new computer, but it turns out that the logic board, inner LCD panel, and power supply all needed to be replaced! They couldn't get it done by Sunday night so I was told I'd have to come back the following weekend to pick it up. Reno two weekends in a row...dangerous! Everyone, avoid the new Apple iMac at all costs, lots of people are having trouble.
I wound up meandering off into the high limit lounge once I was back at the Pep. Lost about $200 but did manage to play for a while and it's always fun playing the $5 machines. The free cocktails in the high limit lounge have to be triple the size of the regular ones!
Managed to get another set of all the good buy one get one free coupons, and the coffee shop is always good.
Besides leaving up $800, I was able to get about $40 in comps this trip, and made my way back home...in five more days I would be back again...
Reno and Tahoe (AGAIN), January 16-18, 2009
Hey, wasn't I just here? Managed to leave Mammoth and get to the Apple Store literally 30 seconds before they locked the doors. Although my machine was fixed for the moment and was covered by factory warranty, I made up my mind right then and there that I got stuck with lemon and that an eBay sale would be in progress very soon!
Since boarding at Kirkwood and Heavenly were in the lineup for the weekend, I wound up staying at Montbleu again with the same $79 casino rate offer I did in December. Still didn't win anything off of the $10 free slot play, and STILL didn't gamble here!
Finally caught a good riding session at Kirkwood the next day, it was kind of bummer that three previous sessions there this season all turned out bad, the chairlifts close due to wind alot here, so it was good finally being able to ride with everything being open.
$300 up on a $1 Wheel of Fortune at the Horizon Saturday night, another full day of riding at Heavenly the next day, down $150 on another 3 coin $1 Blazing 7's at Harrah's, and it was time to go home. Still ahead!
Las Vegas, March 20-22, 2009
OK, this trip it was time to head south to Vegas. I had just been through major hell for the previous two weeks...had to wind up getting three molars extracted on my birthday, woke up with my face swollen like a balloon, massive infection that came pretty darn close to entering my bloodstream! About an hour after that was over, I found out my grandmother in North Carolina passed away. Not a good time!
I responded to the usual 3 free nights, 2 free buffets and $50 freeplay offer at Sam's Town. The main reason I was hitting Vegas this trip was to finally redeem all of the points/comps/etc. I've accumulated over the past six years at Terrible's Paradise Road location. Seems like every trip, I only tell myself I'll stay in there for an hour but something always keeps me in there all day. (I think it's all the hardcore locals, it's always free entertainment in there...so shady, it's fun!) Tried their restaurant a couple of times, but other than that, hadn't redeemed any points or comps for a full six years. It was definitely time to do something!
I wound up with a $750 gift card to Best Buy, where I got a 32" 1080P SurroundSound HDTV/Monitor, a new iPod Nano, some accessories for my new laptop, and a few other things. Not a bad comp package at all (although I'm still wondering how much money I blew getting those 95,000 points!) Vizio makes awesome TV products, best bang for your buck...they had to wind up ordering it right from the manufacturer but it was worth the wait.
Got an outside facing room on the top floor at Sam's Town. which is actually the best area...the rooms facing the atrium have nice views but that laser light show they have going every few hours gets really annoying. Sam's Town replaced all their TVs with flat panels, and they do have WiFi available from a separate company now. One thing I noticed about all these hotels in general is that they're all advertising "Hi Definition TV" but in reality it's still good ole' fuzzy cable hooked to a flat panel. Hopefully they'll upgrade soon, they have the equipment and there really is a difference! Everything was in good shape and the Firelight Buffet is always good.
This trip was a bit scary, I was down $650 within a day and managed to win $400 of it back between Boulder Station, Arizona Charlie's and the new Eastside Cannery right before leaving town. Not a bad trip at all, Vegas always seems to be the place where I lose the most in the shortest time frame!
Reno and Tahoe, April 20-23, 2009
A few weeks ago I found out that I had 4 unused sick and personal days at work I needed to utilize before April 24 or I lose 'em. I tried putting together a last-minute trip to Hawaii, but it was still really pricey even with all of my normal discounts, so once again, I followed the comps...back to Reno and Tahoe! I decided that if I won $500 or more, I'd go to Hawaii, but if not, at least I was using up all the comps...I'm going to the Gold Coast Australia this summer and am trying to get primed up. (I just found out they have a casino there too...)
Decided to try out the shuttle bus that goes from Mammoth to Reno this trip. You can't shake a stick at $42 round trip and it got there practically the same time as driving.
This time around, I received my first official FREE offer from the Pep. It was for two free nights in the Peppermill Tower (an offer that's actually usable twice during two separate time frames, so it looks like I'll be going back soon.) They spoke of some type of coupon book called Adventures In Tuscany that was available and looked like a pretty good deal as their mainstream coupons usually are. This particular promotion, however, turned out to be a ripoff, and very misleading! In order to get the full benefit and honoring of all the coupons and the full $250 slot play, you had to do every and all of the following things during your stay:
Spend $50 or more at Bimini and Chi for a free entree
Spend $50 or more at the Edge nightclub for a free admission ticket
Spend $100 or more for a free treatment at Spa Toscana
etc., etc... about 9 more things...
So in other words, "spend a grand and get some free stuff."
In reality, I couldn't see doing all of this in a couple of days even if I was a high roller! They didn't even honor my $25 free slot play that was supposed to be included in the deal. I was looking forward to some more buy one get one free coffee shop and island buffet coupons but they were nowhere, I think they actually base the coupon set on which tower you're staying in.
Oh, speaking of which, they did offer me a free upgrade to a Tuscany Suite in the new tower, and since it started out as just a regular tower room, that was quite an upgrade, so I took it. Keep in mind, I had only been in this part of the new Pep on the day Biscotti's opened in November 2007, so it was pretty interesting to see that it's all been built up pretty well since then!
I had no complaints about the suite, it was massive! I was on the 4th floor facing the back side so the view was actually of the apartment complex behind the Pep. I have to admit that I still like the old jacuzzis better than the new ones. The one thing that drove me up the wall is that the motor turns on and off on these new ones at random after they are drained to pump air in and dry them out. After about an hour of the thing going on and off at random, I finally figured it out. All in all, it was a free upgrade and I took it, but I don't think I'd pay money to stay in the new tower. It's too far from the casino, too many escalators, and endless streams of people you have to trip over to get there...not my thing, but it was nice. The new pools, nightclub ad lounge looked pretty well maintained. It just doesn't seem like the old Peppermill.
Checking out on Wednesday, it was off to Tahoe again, where I used my free mountain tower room at Harveys. It had actually been a few years since I'd stayed here and it looks like they're keeping the rooms up well. A little on the small side, but no complaints here, free is free! Unfortunately the pool and hot tub were closed, but the ones at Harrahs are a little nicer so it was worth walking over.
No luck at all on this trip, unfortunately. Wound up losing $250 at the Pep, $120 at the Atlantis, and $20 at Harveys. I did win a whopping $2.50 off of a $10 freeplay ticket there, so at least it was a little something...
So, that concludes all my gambling adventures for the winter (and spring). Hopefully I'll have better luck on my next trip!

Hey MG
Good hearing from you. Certainly cant say you havent been up to much this past winter-early spring. Sad to hear you grandmother passed away. No matter how old they are, its still a shock. Who needs molars anyway? Just kidding, glad you got it taken care of. Of course you didnt have much choice.
Happy to hear you had a winning trip at the Pep on your favorite X10 machine. Blazing saddles (err i mean 7's) have never been good me. But, there are plenty of people who win on these machines. Gary and I feel the same way about the new addition. Its lovely, its beautiful but it sure is a hike to the casino. We go over but not every day. We prefer the tower rooms too. Surprised to see you had a room that hadnt been refurbished. You must have some pull for the Pep to have a Mammoth Gambler 70s suite for you. Good going!
Tahoe looks as beautiful as always. What a piece of heaven. Thanks for including the pictures.
Sounds like you have big adventure plans for the remainder of the year. I even looked at America's casino listing to see if Hawaii had a casino. None were listed. Sure you'll find something else to do.
Were heading back to Reno end of next month for five days. Its been a long dry spell for us since we havent been gambling since last December.
Thanks again
Sharon and Gary

I enjoyed the reports. I was wondering if you have ever made a quick trip to Topaz Lodge or Carson Valley Inn (Minden)? I have met several people from Mammoth that come just for a day.

Thanks for the very interesting TR. If you go to that casino in Australia would you be willing to bring back a chip for me? I can send you some money in advance to cover the costs. Thanks.

Hi everyone and thanks for the replies!
Remano, yeah I'll be more than happy to get you chips, no worries about the cost...I'm hearing that down under their bills are made of plastic so I was planning on checking that out myself. The casinos are Conrad Jupiters in Surfers Paradise/Broadbeach, and Conrad Treasury in Brisbane. I think they might be relatives of the Hilton chain, there might be a few others along the way too so I'll definitely bring back some stuff. It's going to be winter there, BIG waves! One thing I thought of right off the bat, is if I have any wins, the exchange rate right now is about $1 US to $1.42 AUS so that could be a good little bonus. Over there the machines are called "pokies" I think and the Aristocrat machines pretty much rule it.
CaSwede, yes, I actually hit both places very frequently and they are very unique, a much different vibe than the bigger casinos. The Topaz Lodge usually has some of the cheapest gas between Reno and Mammoth, their buffet is very good and their reels still drop coins. I've only been in the Carson Valley Inn a few times recently but it's a cool place, I think it might have recently been remodeled. Plus, the shuttle even stops at all these places along the way to Reno so you could really go casino hopping at a very cheap price, and back!
Stan, thanks, good to see you!
GaryandSharon, thanks for the condolences. The upside was that I was able to attend the funeral via webcam! Technology is awesome these days. Best of luck on your upcoming trip and hopefully you'll win big! I noticed they did move a few machines around in the dollar area but that was about it.

Thanks for writing up your trip reports, and the pics are always a nice touch.
R and I just did a loop of Nevada, and we were wondering about taking 395 sometime, rather than our usual CA hwy 5 route, or 95 through Nevada. (from Davis).
We've never been to Yosemite or Mammoth, and would like to see some new terraine on one of these next loops. Which way do you go when you head to Vegas?

Hi RenoLady, good to see you! I'd highly recommend the 95 to 395 route for sure. To Mammoth from Vegas it's a 300 mile stretch and it's awesome - pure desert that just stops and turns into mountains and lots of cows as you get closer. Death Valley is along the way. The last 35-40 miles or so on 95 before hitting 395 is a long, windy, STEEP road over several grades, it's awesome but don't get stuck on it in the winter as they don't snowplow or salt and it's deadly. There's actually a unique feature, a one lane stretch of road that rides right through the bottom of the canyon. Once on 395 there's so many smaller, way cool towns along the way, like Bishop (the Paiute Palace Indian Casino is there), Lone Pine, Independence, Crowley and Convict Lake, etc. There's actually an ancient Japanese shrine along the way that was once a prison camp during the wars, as well as the Bristlecone National Forest. Lots of historic stuff to see and do. Funny thing was, I didn't know about most of it until I actually moved here. Keep going south on the 395 towards Reno and there's Topaz Lake, Carson City, Gardnerville, and the roads to Tahoe along the way, it's perfect, about a dozen casinos before the Reno casinos! Yosemite is only about 35 miles away, I still haven't been yet.
Hi Alison, good to see you, when is your next Reno trip?

By all means check out Yosemite. It has got to be one of the most spectacular pieces of real estate in the country. The only problem is that it gets so crowded. If the park service would just close it down to everybody but me and a few of my friends, it would be perfect.

Where will you Celebrate St. Patrick's Day? These Irish Pubs in Orlando are the perfect fit
Wishing you were in Ireland to celebrate St. Patrick's Day but finding yourself in Orlando, Florida instead? Don't despair. These Irish Pubs in Orlando will have you feeling the luck of the Irish the minute you walk in the door. According to the Orlando Business Journal, there are over 201,000 people of Irish descent living in the Orlando / Kissimmee area so there is plenty of Irish influence here. Whether you're Irish, or you just like to party like one, and looking for more than green beer (which is an American invention) then get your friends together and #GOIrish at these Top 9 Irish Pubs in Orlando listed in alphabetical order. You will find plenty of beer and Irish charm and so much more.
In the words of Irish writer, Oscar Wilde,
"I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best"
1. Claddagh Cottage Irish Pub
This family owned little hole in the wall is likely the most traditional Irish Pub in town offering metal-tip dart boards, pool table, football on TV, Guinness on tap and great traditional Irish food. Irish guests often say it reminds them of the pubs in small rural towns back home. The cozy atmosphere feels like you are hanging out with friends in your own living room. The menu is limited yet authentic. Try the Scotch eggs, hot roast beef Dubliner sandwich, homemade pies like the Cottage Pie with lean beef, carrots, peas and mashed potatoes, Steak & Mushroom Pie or the Irish Stew. All so good, they taste like your mom made them – if you had an Irish mom! They also pour the Perfect-Pint of Guinness as awarded by Guinness directly. Did you know that there is a six-step process to pouring the perfect Guinness? It starts with a cool, clean dry Guinness glass held under the tap at a 45 degree angle, filled until ¾ full, then you let it settle for approximately 119.5 seconds (Really? Do they have a timer?), top the glass without overflow and it ends with it being handed to the customer with no overspill. 407-895-1555.
2. Fiddlers Green Irish Pub
This Winter Park Florida institution since 1996 knows how to provide great Irish food, fun and entertainment. Their Saturday and Sunday brunch is a nice way to start the day with a Bloody Mary bar, mimosas, Harp Shady, Irish and American Breakfast dishes served from 10am-3pm. Then end the day with their great beer selection and dinner menu including the Ulster Burger, Fish & Chips and Shepherd's Pie. This spot has been voted in the Top 40 Pubs in America by New York's Irish Voice and Best Pub by Orlando Magazine readers. Click here for more info. Located at 544 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida. 407-645-2050.
3. Finnegan's Bar & Grill
Just because you find yourself at a theme park does not mean you can't find an authentic Irish Pub. At Universal Studios Orlando, you can't miss Finnegan's Bar and Grill. Popular with tourists and locals alike, it is busy year-round with a large menu of traditional Irish dishes as well as typical American fare. The Fish & Chips and Potato & Onion Web are quite good plus the portions are large enough to share. The soda bread with apple butter is very popular. The bar is a nice spot to hang out and enjoy a pint or two as well as the live entertainment. Located at 6000 Universal Blvd, Orlando Florida. 407-363- 8000.
4. Hagan O'Reilly's Irish Pub
For a little piece of authentic Ireland in Winter Garden Florida, stop by Hagan O'Reilly's. The owners come from a long line of pub owners in Ireland and they wanted to continue the tradition here in Florida to pay tribute to their grandfather and father. I simply love their belief that an Irish pub is more than a place to have a few beers but a comfortable place to gather with friends and enjoy the "craic". Craic is the Irish term for a good time and my favorite word now. It sums up an experience filled with fun, laughter, good company, music, food and drinks in a friendly atmosphere which is what GO Epicurista is all about. For St. You will find lots of "craic" here! Their menu offers pub food like Cassidy's Corned Beef Sandwich and a Half Pound Doughnut Burger that is bound to fill you up, plus your traditional Irish fare of Fish and Chips, Irish Stew and Bangers & Mash. On the weekends, check out their raw bar with fresh seafood. The bar offers 46 beers on tap plus a full bar. Happy hour is every day from 11am-7pm. Their patio is a great spot to enjoy nice weather and a drink or two with your friends. For more information click here. Located at 16112 Marsh Rd, Winter Garden Florida. 407-905-4782.
5. Harp & Celt
If you're looking for non-stop live football (soccer for us Americans), an outside beer garden, corned beef and cabbage and a full Celtic menu then this is the place for you. Can't go wrong ordering the Dubliner Sandwich, Scotch Eggs, Whiskey Wings, and Shepherd's Pie. They can boast that a U.S. President enjoyed a perfect pint in their joint during his campaign a few years ago, but more importantly, they can also brag that many locals flock there to watch football and enjoy a favorite brew. Click here for more info. 25 South Magnolia Avenue, Downtown Orlando, Florida. 407-481-2928.
6. Lizzie McCormack's
Blink and you almost miss this hidden Irish Bar in downtown Orlando owned by Irish native, Roger and his partner Karen. Charming little spot with a relaxed atmosphere, great beer selection, a whiskey club with over 150 to choose from and typical bar feel. They are known for the pudding shots, a grown-up boozy creamy sweet treat in flavors like donut, yoohoo and snickers. Over 40 flavors rotate regularly. Don't miss their happy hour from 2pm – 8pm is one of the longest in town. This is a bar true and true so no food menu here. Located at 55 N Orange Ave, Orlando Florida. 407-426-8007. More info click here.
7. Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant
This place was built in Ireland and shipped to Orlando piece by piece. It doesn't get more authentic than that! Belly up to the restaurant's 130 year old bar for a selection of brews including their Irish brewed craft beers and a new cocktail menu. This is not your typical Disney theme restaurant. The food here is authentic Irish cuisine taken to a modern, inventive and award-winning level by owner, Irish celebrity chef Kevin Dundon, host of the TV show Kevin Dundon's Modern Irish Cooking on PBS and Create TV. The Sunday Brunch is not to be missed featuring the traditional Full Irish breakfast of sausage, black and white pudding, bacon, roasted tomato, mushrooms and fried eggs with potato "roasties", several entrees as well as Chef Dundon's Roast of the Day. Featuring top-notch Irish bands and the amazing Raglan Road Dancers nightly, you can dance, do the jig, sing along, do the jig again and have a good time in true Irish style. Raglan Road hosts the best St. Patrick's Day celebration in Orlando. The Mighty St. Patrick's Festival is not to be missed. Can you believe this Irish pub is the busiest in the world outside of Dublin? . Reservations are recommended. An old Irish Proverb says "Laughter is brightest where food is best" and at Raglan Road laugher is quite bright. Located at Disney Springs, 1640 East Buena Vista Drive, Orlando Florida. 407-938-0300. Visit their website for more info.
8. Rose & Crown Pub
If you're in Epcot, you must stop in for a pint at Rose & Crown Pub. Fish & Chips are also a standard order here. Yes, this is Disney and so it doesn't have that down and dirty feel of the more rustic Irish Pubs in town but they certainly do not disappoint with the details. And Yes, this is more of a British pub than Irish pub but the atmosphere is great and it's your best bet if you're in the park on St. Patrick's Day. They have a good selection of brews on tap including Harp and Boddingtons and the staff always speaks in a British accent. Plus if you get a seat by the World Showcase Lagoon around time for the fireworks it is absolutely spectacular. The place is always quite crowded, especially when the Orlando heat is kickin'. You can also get beer and fish and chips from the outside window. Rose & Crown Pub is located at 2101 N Epcot Resorts Blvd, Lake Buena Vista Florida. 407-939-3463
9. The Pub Orlando
This beautiful British pub features "Pour your own beer" walls, where you choose your drink, pay by the ounce and pour it yourself and a Mug Club where for a yearly membership fee you can enjoy specials and discounts. The Pub does not disappoint with their Welsh Dip, curry wings, Fish and Chips, Whisky Bread Pudding and many appetizers great for sharing with friends. For dessert, try the Glenmorangie Pot de Crème. If watching live games is your thing, they have you covered there too with TV's throughout. The Pub Orlando is located at Pointe Orlando, 9101 International Drive, Orlando 352-2305.
As you can see there is no shortage of options in Orlando to celebrate like the Irish on St. Patrick's Day or any day.
You may ask why I only a feature a Top 9 list instead of the usual Top 10? Simply because I don't know every place in town and you may have a favorite that I need to check out. If your favorite is not on this list, please be nice and share your top Irish Pub in Orlando in the comments below and then share this list with your friends so you can plan your perfect Irish gathering.
Slainte! Cheers!
Go Epicurista

Custom Inline
Custom Inline Design
Companies that invest in trade show marketing constantly strive to increase their audience reach. To achieve this goal, they often focus on the location of the exhibit space, staff participation and the types of products that are being launched or promoted.
Although each of these aid businesses in important ways, nothing will help a brand hit new levels of audience engagement as an exceptionally designed trade show exhibit.
While there are several exhibit layouts to choose from, a custom inline design is a cost-effective choice that doesn't sacrifice the compelling aesthetics needed to attract prospects.
Custom inline exhibits are often found in significant numbers at trade shows. They are a popular alternative to larger custom island exhibits because they can accommodate economical marketing budgets.
Custom inline exhibits provide organizations with an opportunity to showcase the best of their brand. However, it takes the right combination of good design, targeted messaging and building materials to create an inline exhibit that entices trade show attendees.
Partnering with a design house that specializes in custom inline exhibits is key to generating increased interaction on the trade show floor.
Amplify Your Brand with Custom Inline Design
Custom inline design aims to amplify your brand's personality so it stands out on the trade show floor. Achieving this objective begins with a conversation between your marketing team and the design experts at Exhibitus.
Exhibitus uses a Design Thinking approach we call "Smart Design." It starts with face-to-face collaboration between your team and ours. We ask important questions about your product and target audience. We listen to you and learn about your vertical and brand identity and, most importantly, goals for your trade show program.
Throughout this conversation and the subsequent design phase, we are always asking how to catch the attention of prospects and maximize your team's engagement during the trade show. "Smart Design" helps us meet the needs of our clients efficiently and produce radically transformative custom inline exhibits.
Once we've finalized the structural design, our team of skilled craftspeople brings your exhibit to life using cutting-edge technology and quality building materials. We use visual appeal and compelling graphics to create memorable interactive experiences that make your brand message the one thing people remember about the trade show. And, your custom inline design takes into account logistical requirements such as shipping, set up and breakdown.
Results Driven Inline Exhibits
Through our emphasis on collaboration with your organization's marketing and event planning team, Exhibitus fashions custom inline exhibits that make your spot on the trade show floor a truly valuable stop for potential customers. We also help companies create opportunities for engaging prospects once they are in your exhibit space.
Engaging prospects is the most powerful action you can take at a trade show. We help you do this by being intentional about entry and exit points, use of displays and furniture, and working with your staff to make the most out of their interaction with attendees. It's an innovative process that sets us apart from traditional exhibit display vendors.
However, the Exhibitus advantage lies not just in collaborative ideation, custom design, and expert construction. We also provide industry-leading data gathering services through our Results Division. While the use of data to support the decision-making process around exhibit programs is growing, it is by no means the universal norm. Yet, metrics are the key to leveraging the full benefits of effective trade show marketing.
Exhibitus understands the power of data and its impact on trade show marketing. Therefore, we offer our clients an array of tools that provide a window into the key metrics of a successful trade show program. For example, we can help companies estimate how many prospects they must engage to make participation in a specific trade show a worthwhile use of corporate resources. This leads to better decisions about where to exhibit, at what scale and how often.
We can also assess the effectiveness of interactions between staff and prospects, and help your company's representatives identify follow-up actions to ensure conversations with prospects continue after a trade show has ended.
Custom inline design by Exhibitus results in exhibits that are second to none and create an environment for attracting influencers and decision makers to your brand, products or services.
Planning your next trade show event? Contact us at 800.770.4392 and let's talk about the possibilities custom inline design can generate for your company.

Example of Vectorizing:
Likewise, for an operation on a matrix, a nested loop would be needed; for illustration, supposing a matrix variable mat:
[r c] = size(mat);
for row = 1:r
for col = 1:c
% do something with mat(row,col)
typically in MATLAB, this is not essential. The Numerical operations can be completed on whole vectors or matrices. For illustration, let's say that we want to multiply each and every element of a vector v by 3, and store the outcome back in v, here v is initialized as shown below:
>> v = [3 7 2 1];

A shocking Saturday morning
"Woei Song", "Woei Song", "Woei Song"...
Hardly lifted my thousand-tonnes-weighted eyelids, I searched quickly for the source of the voice. Was someone calling for my roommate? The voice softened and eventually disappeared in the dense and warm air. My body was so heavy as like it was forcing me to lie back. Okay, I thought it would be better to follow my body since it was Saturday. Who on Earth want to wake up so early on Saturday morning? By the way, there were a lot of students like to enhance their high-pitched voice early in the morning. I guessed the air was better early in the morning.Gracefully, I went back to sleep.
Suddenly, somebody was banging at my door. Dragging my sleepy body, I opened the door. At this moment, all my cells woke up and became extremely alert.
"Good morning, uncle."
Oh my! Woei Song's dad was just outside the door and his son was not here. He didn't come back last night.
"Do know where is he because he didn't even pick up the phone? I told him last night that i would be here this morning." his father told me.
"I guess he stayed overnight at student house." This was what my roommate always did during Friday's night. Perhaps watching movie together. But no picking up the phone? He always woke up quite early even on Saturday and Sunday. Had anything happened to him? What if he crashed into something bad while walking back to hostel.
Maybe somebody robbed him and killed him to cover out. Or he crashed with a serial sodomizer who was too obsessed with muscular boy and Woei Song just the one he was looking for. What a lousy roommate I am not to care for the safety of my roommate!
"Daniel, do you know where Woei Song is?"
"He is in my room now."
Thanks God that he is safe and just a short distance from my room. What a frightening but harmless morning. Then, he went out for breakfast with his dad which meant I could go back to sleep. Night everybody.

Actually i was kidnpped by Daniel....haha
my phone was out of battery and could not be switched on(actually it's because I forgotten to charge it). That's why I didn't know that my father was coming. Anyway,this proves that you are not bad with guessing and predicting the location I will be at a specific time.
haha...Komennasai and terima kasih banyak2.
