As I write this I am exactly 34,000 feet in the air and I am an hour and thirty six minutes away from Lagos. Yes, my good friends and not so good friends I am on yet another flight to Lagos.
Are you not all my friends? Even if you think me an enemy you're still a friend because before you had made the foolish decision to call me an enemy you must have thought about it a lot. This makes me happy. I'm always happy when I'm thought of. If I had my way, I'd stay with you all permanently. I'd be some sort of mental illness. I'll call it the IRRESISTIBLE INEXORABLE COMPULSION TO READ THE BLOG, SHARE THE BLOG, AND PROMOTE THE BLOG SYNDROME.
On this occasion I have broken away from tradition as I am not completely off my face. However I am still fairly tipsy. I haven't got it in me to fly sober. I cringe at the thought of it. How on Earth will I tolerate the elbowing of the dude on my left or the fact that the woman behind me seems intent on caressing my elbow with her foot. Some Nigerians should be confined to zoos. When I attempted to tell her to extract her foot she appeared to be deep in prayer. I think that when I get home I should storm into Papa Afam's room and scold him.
enter Papa Afam and Afam.
Afam sprints up the stairs and kicks his father's door open.
Afam: Damn you old man! How many times do I need to tell you that anything less than Business Class is unacceptable.
Papa Afam pulls out shotgun and has a Halo/Call Of Duty moment with me.
This flight isn't as bad as the last one I had, where the food looked like baby shit and I was sat beside two obese people with no respect for boundaries. This flight was delayed for 2 hours and a bit because 8 people had to be deplaned.
The last time I was in Lagos I hopefully entertained you with several adventures and misadventures that I was fortunate enough to experience, but i fear this time that my adventures will be quite few and very far between. Haha, that's a lie. In the event of a shortage of material I shall describe to you in great detail alll my driving battles. You'll travel with me in the trusty old Toyota Corolla as I escape death by carriages of doom. Should that not entertain you, I'll use the blog as a sounding board for my dissertation, "A Story of Corruption: The differences between the Chinese and Nigerian experiences and their possible effects on development." Or something like that. How's that for a page turner.
Until next time, good morning, good afternoon, and goodnight.
Happy days,
34,000 feet and Lagos Bound

The camera couldn't see GOP lieutenant governor candidate Loren Bennett either. He was stuffed away in his Lansing hotel suite watching his partner Dick Posthumus on the TV. Posthumus was tossing in the towel while a shocked Bennett et. al. watched in pain. Why were they left out? Turns out the guy who was sent to fetch Bennett never showed up. Ouch.
Of the two emotions on election night, losing clearly carries a bigger potential wallop. Former Gov. Jim Blanchard fell into a deep funk after losing to John Engler way back when. Close associates say it took him months to get out from under the cloud. Some even theorize he was still laboring to remove the last vestiges by running again in 2002.
Such a fate has not engulfed Dick Posthumus. Remember him? He was going to get blasted by Granholm but when the dust settled on election night the margin was more than respectable. It was surprisingly close … three or four ticks.

Bodhak java blocks tutorial with blocks in this chapter we will discuss in detail about Working with blocks, Nonstatic block, Static block, what is need of static and nonstatic block.
Working with blocks : An initialization block is a block of code between braces that is executed before the object of the class is created
java blocks tutorial
They are 2 types:
- Static initialization block.
- Nonstatic initialization block.
Static initialization block
A static initialization block is a normal block of code enclosed in braces, { }, and preceded by the static keyword and is executed once when the class is loaded.
is used to initialize the static data member.
It is executed before the main method at the time of class loading.
A class can have any number of static initialization blocks, and they can appear anywhere in the class body.
Nonstatic initialization block:
It is dependent on the object and the initialization block is executed for each object of the class that is created. It can initialize instance member variables of the class
Initializing Instance Members:
To initialize code to an instance variable in a constructor. There are two alternatives to using a constructor to initialize instance variables: initialize blocks and final methods.
Initializing blocks for instance variables look just like static initializing blocks, but without the static keyword
// whatever code is needed for initialization goes here
The Java compiler copies initializer blocks into every constructor. Therefore, this approach can be used to share a block of code between multiple constructors

Bali is a standout amongst the most famous destinations in Indonesia, and there is a justifiable reason behind why. Basically, it's amazing. I would live there in a heartbeat, if it had a better internet. The countryside is excellent, the shorelines (outside of Kuta) are picture immaculate, there is awesome trekking, neighbourly local people, world-class feasting, and it's modest. Bali is the total package. There's a motivation behind why such a large number of individuals go here and never take off. I spent a month investigating this island and would cheerfully backpedal and investigate it once more. On the off chance that you are considering going here, simply pull the trigger and go. You will love it. Furthermore, once you leave the touristy southeast corner of the island, you won't be pestered with hordes of vacationer who never wander past their bars and spas in Ubud and Kuata!
Typical Costs
Accommodation – ZEN Rooms provide a lot of budget hotels usually cost around 150,000-300,000 IDR per night though you can find some as low as 123,000 IDR. Along with that you can get a discount of 100,000 IDR on your stay in ZEN Rooms. Most of the rooms have amenities such as free Wi-Fi, Clean and spacious rooms, air conditioner. ZEN Rooms Denpasar Gelogor Carik and ZEN Rooms Legian Gang Cempaka are real good value for money.
Sim Card: Traveler nowadays rely on facilities that offered by mobile apps such Google Maps to navigate, Whatsapp to communite with other, or browser to find attraction and references. You need buy cheap and reliable data plan. Our recommendation is IM3 only IDR 40,000. That's enough for 1 week trip for moderate usage. You can find it in nearby telco store or mini-mart.
Or you could use free wifi provided by our rooms.
Food – Local food is also very cheap, beginning at around 6,700 IDR for normal street food and 13,500 IDR for a meal. Western food is however more costly at around 121,000 IDR. ZEN Rooms hotels provide on-site restaurants as well, which are pretty convenient as well.
Transportation – Transportation around Bali is also not very expensive. You can get taxis for around 65,000 IDR and private smaller vans over the island for around 200,000 IDR. Hire a bike which can cost anywhere from 50K to 100K IDR. Some of the ZEN Rooms hotels provide transport facilities like bikes for rent or airport shuttle. Go to our website to find out more.
Activities – Most individuals on Bali go surfing, going to a dance show, or go trek a couple of mountains. The greater part of these things cost between 135,000-350,000 IDR. The renowned Mt. Batur trek costs between 400,000-805,000 IDR relying upon the company you hire.
Money Saving Tips
Eat local – You can get delicious local food for around 6,700 IDR, however most dinners expense around 26,800 IDR. Stay far from the western eateries in order to save money and also enjoy the local cuisine. ZEN Rooms hotel on site restaurant provide a lot of cheap options.
Bargain – Nothing is ever at face value in Indonesia. Deal hard and deal regularly. Absolutely never pay the main value you were cited.
Travel north – The southern range of Bali (Kuta, Ubud, Seminyak, and so forth) is the most prevalent and most costly part of the island. In the event that you go to the shorelines in the north or upper east piece of Bali, you'll see that costs are about half as compared to southern area.
Top Things to See and Do in Bali
Plunge into some hot springs – There are a few on the island. It is fantastically invigorating to sit in these regular pools while you take in the rich, lovely scene surrounding you. In the northeastern mountains, there are some on the shores of Lake Batur. Another great spot is Air Banjar, which is situated on the northern shoreline of the island close Lovina.
Surf in Nusa Lembongan – Located right off the shore of Bali, this little island is a decent distinct option for the madness that is Bali. The shorelines aren't extraordinary here however the surfing is better than average and a portion of the best breaks in Bali. The plunging is additionally better than average here and it's less expensive than the terrain. Renting a surfboard can cost anywhere between 100K to 150K IDR per day.

Wonders never cease!
I have never heard of this, but if you own some of the things I am about to mention in your kitchen, and have a hired help be warned, one can be swapped for the other. So, what am I going on about?
Tomato paste & Red Plum Jam!
I had one of the busiest Saturdays today. I woke up to do my laundry and complete my short story submission for the Commonwealth Non-fiction Workshop, then went to the market to buy food supplies.
I came back to the house at half past eleven and asked Jay's nanny to prepare lunch, something light for herself and Jay. PS: If you don't know about Jay, well, he's my 4 year old nephew.
She asked me what she could prepare and I told her some egg curry and rice would do just fine.
I told her to just make a great paste for the egg curry so it'd be yummy, and she said she knew how to do it.
I took her word and dashed back to the market to get more supplies promising her that I would be back in less than half an hour. She went to the living room to watch Nickelodeon with Jay, and I felt the sirens in me flare like flames.
I had just asked her to get lunch ready and she was going to watch 'Robot and Monster' - blast you Nickelodeon, I loove Robot and Monster too!
So, here's the best part: I came back just as she had finished making the paste to see the Red Plum Jam can opened!
I asked her why it was open and she said, 'I used it to make the paste, just like you advised and it's really thick!'
Okay, scratch that, Dear Heavens, did she just use jam as tomato paste?
I laughed first, well it seemed like forever, and then I told her jam was for bread. I went ahead to show her the tomato paste, with pictures of tomatoes on it;-) and asked her not to forget again.
As for the eggs, well, they were salty-sweeeet!
I had a glass of fresh milk and went ahead to prepare the grains I had bought.
As for my chef in practice, I am making chapati tonight, and I hope to teach her a few things, but one thing is certain: I will keep the honey far away from the cooking oil, for the sake of my chapatis!

Story from Herefordshire & Worcestershire Master Composter, Jeremy Thomas.
I was first attracted to the Master Composter scheme after a number of years spent volunteering with varying degrees of satisfaction with several very different organisations, so I came to it with not a little scepticism – how would it work, be managed, be effective, and so on? And, would I ever learn to make good compost, after so many years of trying?
Now as I start my 8th year as a MC, I can definitely recommend it to anyone who is actively interested in gardening, and in meeting and talking with like-minded people.
My personal preference is for face-to-face working with members of the public, whenever and wherever practicable. Over the years, I have enjoyed and shared the company of a wide variety of audiences, village "open gardens" days, schools, allotment associations, WIs, even a Salvation Army group on one occasion (it was also Shrove Tuesday, and the pancakes were superb!).
For the past 3 years, I have also been a volunteer gardener at my local National Trust property, and this has provided ongoing opportunities (at their invitation) to operate "Home Compost Clinics" at several local NT properties. Arranged to coincide with their garden events, these have led to other local opportunities to spread the word.
Looking ahead, I still hope to identify a suitable venue for possible Community Composting, but this looks like a relative non-starter where the "Brown bins" rule, collecting and removing all the lovely compostable waste – but I haven't given up hope!
And the rewards for the hard work? Mainly, the sheer pleasure of meeting and talking to so many interesting and interested people: and I have often said that I have yet to hold an event when I did not learn something useful from someone else. We never stop learning!

jade goody biopic
"It is understood that the family are keen on approaching Nick Love, the British director behind The Football Factory"

no way, completely unbelievable
Danny Dyer's way too hard to ever get cancer
really good thing on the guardian website last night about jade.
it allowed me sympathy on the matter, but this would be a farce.
by lucy mangan?
that were brilliant....summed it all up perfectly...paid respects to a sad tale but also illustrated what a strange cultural event her story has been...unlike the sun wank-fest.......they even had a picture of the body being carried from the house.....licking up every last drop...
i can't really add more to it.
this would be a sad continuation with no justification. we've lived, we've (some of us, i guess) loved, let's move on.
i have no opinion on it
besides the fact that it keeps supplying amazing lulz like this

May God Bless you this Easter Season. May he TRULY Bless you.
I think my favourite time of the Liturgical calendar is Easter. It's the pinnacle of the Church year and we have loved entering into Our Lords Passion with him every year.
For several years now we have wanted to participate in the Easter Pilgrimage – Light to theNations. A vision, of the Disciples' of Jesus Community and Missionaries of Gods Love. This event only happens bi annually.
This was an powerful weekend that began Holy Thursday morning. We drove down to Galong- 5 and half hours south into wheat country in NSW to St Clements Monastery. We arrived to hundreds of people, camping tents, hustle & bustle.
We registered, got our name badges to wear and began chatting to friends we hadn't seen for a while. A few families from homeschool camp, the week before were there as well. That was lovely to share this experience of Easter with them.
So we began our Pilgrimage. Now a pilgrim is not a tourist, so we needed to offer each hardship up to Our Lord and walk closely by him this weekend. My first thoughts were, 'gosh, it is very different from making this journey with Our Lord, away from our church'. It passed by me quickly.
So late nights, early get ups, little sleep, little food, and very cold days & nights were the order of the weekend. The Lords Supper and Washing of the Feet was superb and had me very emotional seeing 5 Priests, 2 deacons and several brothers entering into this Mass. The people chosen for the washing of the feet were the people who walked to Galong from Canberra, Victoria and Goulburn. ( Another thing on my list- a pilgrim walk). As the Mass drew to an end and the Consecrated Hosts were taken to the alter of repose. The Priests processed this to the Monastery Chapel, while the seminarians stripped the Alter.
By the time we left it was around 6 degrees and very late.

Video: Ninja Theory's upcoming action game, Hellblade, has a protagonist with expressions that actually look, well, human. Here's how they did it.
Through the use of the Unreal Engine and a few other things, Ninja Theory can take the live performance of an actress and render it directly into the game, as it happens.
"We could set up and shoot scenes directly within the virtual world with virtual actors, without having to worry about what the end result would look like," said Tameem Antoniades, a developer on Hellblade. It's pretty impressive! Typical mocapping looks ancient by comparison.
I love this bit, too:

This is a fascinating short animated video on the social/emotional underpinnings of addiction. According to research psychologist Bruce Alexander, its not drugs or alcohol (or porn or chocolate or screens or shopping) that creates addiction. We've had it all wrong!
What do you think of his theory? If it is true, what do we need to be doing as a society to make our human experience a bit more like "rat park?"

Dallow was a hive of activity last weekend as hundreds of local residents came together for a free family event.
The 'Cohen's Yard' fun day brought together residents from different communities and backgrounds for the event which included a bouncy castle, rodeo bull, children's entertainer, archery, entertainment, family fun and games.
The Cohen's Yard project was set up after a recent 'drug action day' to address local community priority issues in the Dallow neighbourhood and was led by Medina Mosque and the All Saints Church; in partnership with Luton Borough Council, Grassroots Programme, Building Blocks, the children's centre and Beech Hill Methodist Church.
The project, which aims to inspire local community and become active and help resolve community priority issues in the neighbourhood, has also included door-to-door consultation carried out by volunteers, cleaning and painting the park's play equipment, litter picking, shrub planting.
Cohen's Yard was one of many local family festivals which have been held in Luton across the summer.
Cllr Jacqui Burnett, Portfolio Holder for community development said: "It's been a fantastic summer in Luton with more festivals than ever before. Festivals are always loads of fun with lots to do, while doubling as a chance for residents to get involved in decision making, find out about local services and help shape the future of their neighbourhoods."

Two of the projects I worked on last week are done, or almost done. The pillow sham (one of them) is finished and the flipflops just need borders. I'm trying to decide if I want to add a little "punch" with a little yellow border before I add the blue polka dots. I dunno...I kinda like it like this. We'll see. I quilted "waves" in the orange borders to indicate the beach (yeah, like I know what that is here in NM! lol) and some curly-q quilting around the flip flops. I will still attempt to shine it up a bit with some "bedazzling".
Another trip to Lubbock with Dad today to follow-up on his procedure from last week. Please say a prayer for safe travel. Thanks!

So much to see (and read) and not just about wars. Lots of Maori history, Air New Zealand exhibit, collectibles, and more.
Impressive. We tried to do it all in one day - should have been have two.
|Carol and Doug enjoying a beer or two
A special treat, was spending time with our sailing buddies from California - Dennis, Carol, and Josh (s/v Evergreen).
They have settled very nicely into life in New Zealand. Nice to see you all!
|Enjoying our Food Court experience
As you can see, we loved New Zealand: the history, culture, the diverse landscape, and seeing our Kiwi friends - of course.
We chose a great time to visit NZ - the NZ dollar was worth $.67 to the US dollar, so it saved us some money.
|Enjoying music at the zoo - lots of rain
Lots of visitors tour NZ via caravans and campers. We chose to rent a car to explore and stay in motels (and with friends).
We are very happy we did!
|Along the Auckland wharf
We figured that with our cruising life, we get to camp out all the time - hah!
We wanted something different.
|Our sweet ride
|Love the old Motels
|Green Mussels were wonderful
Totaling it all up, our version of exploring NZ was less expensive???. Plus, we were able to stay in town versus a camp site. More our style!
And loving all of the fresh sea food. Doug especially enjoyed the mussels and Bluff oysters (with balsamic vinaigrette).
I loved the scallops and fish and chips, of course.
|Lester and Lisa - so fun
So, if you are looking for a special place, visit New Zealand. You are going to love it!
|Jude and Grant - lovely people
We are tired of watching the weather...

It's not too many gigs that start with the front man's greeting: "Good evening. How are we?" But Panama were just setting the tone for the evening where three, laidback local bands (nice guys and friends to boot), produced some good, upbeat tunes for the assembled throng.
Now, do you wanna know a dirty secret? That was actually the name of the previous band that various members of this current one played in and while they still retain the indie sound synonymous with The Dirty Secrets, this time around they have added plenty of swirling synths to the mix.
Panama's tunes had a funky bass groove and they started with a strong song that had sprinklings of New Order and some dreamy pop. They went through their first numbers at a breakneck speed, launching into 'em and barely pausing at the end of each. As such, it felt like the boys took a little bit of time to warm up and overcome some nerves. But the ingredients were certainly there in terms of material because there were lots of keen ditties with great pop sounds, so much so that Jarrah McCleary would sort of walk and run on the spot, never missing a beat.
The four guys are such talented multi-instrumentalists that they make the switching between things and subsequent playing of them look so effortless. On one song three of them would battle it out on the drums (take that Wolf & Cub) only for the guitarist to add additional flourishes later on from a tambourine and egg shaker. Their set was rounded out with music that boasted a Vampire Weekend-esque beat and some highly accessible, dance-flavoured blips including the Triple J flogged single, "Magic". In short, stay tuned.
Next up were Glass Towers, a band I once saw playing a blinding set at The Standard. They too have great songs although these tend to be a tad more rocking. But tonight there was some pixie dust missing, as the set at times seemed to fizzle more than shine a light. It was a real shame because I know for a fact they're capable of so much more and can't fault the playing, it was just that the audience seemed rather distracted.
Benjamin Hannam leads these babe-faced lads and he was wearing a Karen O "Stop The Virgens" t-shirt. The venue had filled out as they launched into a big, grungy number full of extra layers and some great time changes. An early favourite was "Castles," one that boasted the kind of guitar-sounds the Brits do so well. It had a catchy beat and simultaneously seemed to resemble something between The Cure and the Kaiser Chiefs.
Another big part of their music is the guitar-work of Sam Speck who seems to take at least a few pages out of the book of U2's The Edge. By toying and twisting with different atmospherics, effects and harmonies the guitars seemed to sing and scream and it's a great compliment to the almost Energizer bunny-like thumping courtesy of drummer, Daniel Muszynski.
There were small pockets of the crowd that were enthusiastic as they played a song from their forthcoming EP plus "Lino The Lion," one that brims with a cool, retro sound. "Jumanji" meanwhile had a silly, skipping beat and was full of youthful fun. It therefore seems at odds that they'd play another cut shortly after called "Gloom". This one was gnarlier thanks to a gravelly delivery and a more straightforward rock sound, while the final track was almost like a call and response played out on guitars and could be something you'd imagine The Hives doing with ease. This one – like many of the songs from their set – seemed like a celebration of the axe, pure and simple.
At around 10:30 it was time for the headliners, Dappled Cities. The curtains opened to reveal a backdrop filled with tin foil strips. It was an extra bit of effort that seemed to go a long way, especially when it was combined with some of the most elaborate, almost Spinal Tap-like lighting (at least for such a small venue) I've ever seen. It was a great effect that leant this art rock band an even more creative, cosmic feel. It was a sentiment felt so much that you almost thought they should've been performing at Vivid's Festival of light and ideas down the road.
They opened with some shiny, beatific pop. It was joyful and set the bar high for the cool pop beat of "Miniature Alas". Some keen punters at the front turned this one into a sing-along and raised their glasses – quite rightly – in praise of the bopping sound. It was thick, sugar pop sounds as colourful as the rainbow lights, like a gobstopper or moonbeam hurtling through space to a soundtrack of some expert synth.
A preview from their next album, "Lake Air" was offered. It started off rather broodingly before Alex Moore's bass kicked in and thundered like rain. The vibe then seemed to sit somewhere between a pleasant easy-listening number, an eighties throwback and dare I saw it Lily Allen's "It's Not Fair". Sure, it was weird but we expect no less...
Then it was a return to the anthemic pop of "The Price," one full of charm despite the false start. "Within Hours" was one that seemed to come straight from the woods filled with sweet little creatures with large, bug eyes. It was also a number the group confessed to not playing in four-five years, a real shame as it should get a more regular airing.
"The Leopard" followed and was like a great piece of chocolate cake that contained just a hint of The Cure's "Close To Me" before the nautical whimsy of "Wooden Ships". It started off in a rather melancholy way but the sunny beat eventually kicked in and what we were left with was something cute and cuddly, much like this band of nice guys.
After all, guitarist, Tim Derricourt could barely contain his cheesy grin as the crowd cheered at the opening chords of "Fire Fire Fire," a great collision of jangly guitars and zipping through space. Not to be outdone, Dave Rennick who'd previously been straddling two mics and a guitar got rather animated at the end, wind milling as the lights changed to red and yellow just like – you guessed it – one hot fire.
There was the rousing, "The Night Is Young At Heart," one that saw a female punter get up on stage for a passionate wiggle and dance at the end. The guys looked on rather bemused but eventually ran with the idea. Derricourt and Rennick got in on the act especially, because while they're experts in bopping around with aplomb, they became even livelier and you got the feeling that when she returned to the crowd they'd have gladly had her back for some more. As Derricourt said: "What a legend!"
The set concluded with brothers locking arms around their buddies for the glittery gold of "Holy Chord" and new single, "Run With The Wind". The ordering of some of the songs most probably should have been switched – especially at the end – because while the latter is effervescent enough, the former holds a special place in the hearts of fans because it's more familiar and of course has a warm, summery glow.
These kind fellas returned with even bigger smiles for an encore that included the futuristic, "Peach" and the clip clopping, "Apart". The set had boasted so many killer songs that the whole shebang had whizzed past as fast as their propelling pop sounds that travel through space like light years. Dappled Cities may have dropped the fly some time ago but their excellent songs made the crowd soar thanks to their creative and varied indie pop flavours. With shows this good you can't help but count down the days to their next tour (in October we're told) and album number four, something bound to produce many a smile.
Dappled Cities' set list:
The Weekend
Miniature Alas
Lake Air
The Price
Within Hours
The Leopard
Wooden Ships
Fire Fire Fire
The Night Is Young At Heart
Holy Chord
Run With The Wind

Fed up of being cold on a dive?
Then stay out of the water!
Yes that's right a dry suit seals you off from the water therefore you are diving but your body is not in the water as such so it will retain warmth better. In the PADI Dry Suit Diver Specialty course, you will learn how to use a dry suit safely and correctly and that keeps you warmer even in very cold water.
Subjects covered include:
- Safety techniques and problem management
- Don and doff techniques specific to your dry suit
- Dry suit buoyancy control skills
- Dry suit maintenance and storage
- Dry Suit and Undersuit choices and options
Certification counts towards PADI Master Scuba Diver rating

D.I. Treasures...
Since Mckenzie has started 1st grade and I am only working part time...on a prn status so it is VERY part time....I have had a lot of time on my hands. I have a very talented friend who finds things at the thrift stores and refurbishes them into something really very cool. I decided that with all the time I have now, I would do the same thing. Here are a couple of my projects.....
Ended up as this...using stuff I already had in my basement! (Now I need to work on making this to go on the shelf!)

12 Years!
It is hard to believe that this labor day weekend, was our 12 year anniversary! We thought we were being so smart by getting married on a holiday weekend so we would always have time to go somewhere and celebrate. Well, the problem is that EVERYONE goes out of town that weekend, so either we don't have a babysitter or where ever we decide to go is already booked! This year we lucked out. We booked a condo up Ogden canyon near Pineview Reservoir for a couple nights. It was awesome! We got there too late on friday night to do anything, so we just went to bed. Saturday, we went to check out a new place we have never been before. The concierge at the condos told us about Causey Reservoir. It is a fun little place about 20 minutes from Pineview Reservoir and is MUCH quieter! It was perfect for fishing. We spent the morning getting ready for our fishing trip, visiting the Monestary in Hunstville, and going to find a canoe to rent. I have never fished from a canoe before and let me tell you...it was a lot of fun! We did have one incident though, we got out of the canoe to fish from the shore in a little cove where a bee or wasp or something crawled in McKenzie's shirt and stung her. I have never heard her scream like that before! We got rid of the bee/wasp and had a good rest of our day even though we didn't catch anything. There were salmon in the lake and they were spawning, so every once in a while we would see their red bellies when they jumped. When it was time to take the canoe back, we went back to the condo where Bodie grilled up some steaks and McKenzie and I went to the hot tub. McKenzie kept telling me on the way back to the condo that she really could use a soak in the hot tub. I can't really blame her...it takes a lot out of you to sit in a canoe and fish while your parents row around the lake! Sunday morning, we woke up really early and went up to Logan for our nieces baby blessing. It was a really nice day and a great way to end a fun weekend. Two of my favorite people in the whole world at lunch on our way to the lake.

As mentioned previously halloumi is a non melting Cypriot cheese that can be made with a combination of goat,sheep and cows milk. Its really robust and salty, and it has an amazing tangy flavour. It's a great ingredient to use if you are having a BBQ this summer and have a vegetarian dining with you. It's great coated and grilled or fried, but even greater marinated, skewered and BBQ'ed. This recipe evokes memories of great family BBQ get together. The charred vegetables with the tangy, salty cheese has summer written all over it. Chop and change your vegetables according to what's available to you.
Serves 2
- 200g of low fat halloumi cheese
- 1 red pepper, roughly sliced
- 1 courgette, cut into rounds
- 2 tomatoes, cut into quarters
- Zest and juice of a lemon
- 1 tsp Chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp of white wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 deseeded & diced red chilli
- 1 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
- ½ tbsp chopped mint
- Generous pinches of salt and pepper
- Firstly, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes, and start up the BBQ, if using.
- Mix the marinating ingredients together, and add the chopped vegetables and slice the halloumi into bite size chunks. Add the halloumi also.
- Leave to marinate for 30 minutes, then skewer the vegetables and cheese onto the skewer, alternating between both.
- If not using a BBQ, then get a griddle pan onto a high heat.
- Place the skewers on the BBQ or griddle pan, turning occasionally until nicely charred on all sides.
- Do not discard the marinade, reserve it for use as a dressing/dipping sauce

Denmark's DONG Energy To Get Out Of Oil, Gas Business
COPENHAGEN, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Danish energy group DONG Energy plans to quit the oil and gas business to focus solely on offshore wind power, just five months after giving the impression it would maintain its presence in oil and gas when it listed in Copenhagen.
The company, the world's biggest operator of offshore wind power, had considered selling its oil and gas business in the past, but announced in January, prior its June 9 initial public offering (IPO), that it would not.
Last month it said it was reconsidering a possible sale. Its IPO prospectus had said its oil and gas business would focus on "a portfolio of low-cost, low-risk, long-term assets" but the company said by emphasising renewables, it had made clear that it did not see oil and gas as a long term strategic commitment.
Chief Executive Henrik Poulsen said on Tuesday DONG had spent the last 12-15 months restructuring its oil and gas business to "focus on high quality, low cost assets" and "a combination of a number of different factors" had made it decide to sell.
"We are still in a very early stage of exploring market interest, but it is our impression that there is interest in an asset of this kind," he said on a conference call, adding the company had not set a deadline for selling the business.
DONG said cash flow at its oil and gas business breaks even at $35 per barrel. Brent oil has recovered to around $46 a barrel since reaching multi-year lows below $30 a barrel in January.
"Today we probably have one of the lowest break even businesses in the entire North Sea area," Poulsen said. A more than two-year-old oil price slump means many oil and gas assets are already up for sale in the North Sea, where costs are relatively high due to the basin's maturity.
Analysts at Bernstein said the divestment was driven by a recent rise in the oil price and DONG Energy's better cost position in its oil and gas business, but said they were "surprised with shift in strategy so soon after the IPO".
DONG's shares were trading 1 percent higher at 256.5 crowns each by 1433 GMT, below its IPO price of 258 crowns.
European Trend
DONG's decision follows similar steps by European utilities E.ON and RWE, which have both divested their oil and gas business to try to become simpler structures, free up cash and remove conglomerate discounts on their shares.
DONG shares currently trade at 4.8 times EV/EBITDA, a discount to groups with a clearer focus on renewables such as Britain's SSE, Portugal's EDP Renovaveis SA and Germany's Innogy, which was split off from RWE last month.
DONG, which has built more than a quarter of the world's offshore wind farms and is a major operator in Britain and Germany, said last month it had hired JP Morgan to review its oil and gas assets with a view to possible sale.
Analysts at Sydbank said DONG's oil and gas assets could be worth up to 14 billion Danish crowns ($2.1 billion). DONG produced 89,000 barrels of oil and gas per day this year, down from 115,000 barrels of oil and gas daily last year.
Swiss utility specialist EIC said it recently sold its holdings in DONG at around 275 Danish crowns, after buying into the June IPO.
"We only see limited upside for the company compared with riskier assets," said EIC fund manager Andreas Schneller, adding that EIC had bought into power plant and energy trading firm Uniper during a recent power price rally.
Schneller sees it as positive that DONG is selling its oil and gas business, as "there's hardly any growth in this area."

Diary extract
4th May 1662 '...Mr Holliard came to me and let me blood, about 16 ounces, I being exceedingly full of blood, and very good. I begun to be sick; but lying upon my back, I was presently well again and did give him 5s for his pains; and so we parted.'
Background information
Blood-letting had been recommended for centuries. According to the ancient Greeks, there were four 'humours' - blood, choler, and two sorts of bile - which needed to be balanced against each other. Blood-letting dealt with the first. The others might call for enemas, laxatives, and pills made of rare items such as the saliva of a fasting man and the moss that grows on an unburied skull, as well as commonplace snails and woodlice. Fashionable physicians could advise, apothecaries could dispense, surgeons could deal with minor ailments, the local wise woman might help, but they all cost money. Magic might work better, Samuel Pepys attributed his good health to wearing a hare's foot around his neck.
For the poor, there were hospitals. St Bartholomew's in Smithfield and St Thomas's south of the river provided basic care, mostly limited to rest and food. The state of medical knowledge was still primitive. There was no antisepsis, no anaesthetic except drink and opium, and little knowledge of human physiology. The only surgical intervention was to remove bladder stones, a painful and common complaint. Samuel Pepys was operated on in 1658, and celebrated his survival every year.

Patience Series
Contributed by Rick Boyne on Jun 20, 2012 (message contributor)
Summary: Patience is not natural; it must be learned and practiced. Patience is a gift from the Lord.
November 12, 2008 Wednesday Service
Immanuel Baptist Church, Wagoner, OK
Rick Boyne
Message Point: Patience is not natural; it must be learned and practiced. Patience is a gift from the Lord.
Focus Passage: Galatians 5:22-23
Supplemental Passage: Colossians 3:12-13 NASB So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; (13) bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.
Introduction: "Patience is a virtue, Possess it if you can. Found seldom in a woman, Never in a man."
"Beloved, have you ever thought that someday you will not have anything to try you, or anyone to vex you again? There will be no opportunity in heaven to learn or to show the spirit of patience, forbearance, and longsuffering. If you are to practice these things, it must be now." Yes, each day affords countless opportunities to learn patience. Let's not waste them.
Hebrews 12:1-3 NASB Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, (2) fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (3) For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
I. Born to be impatient
II. Born again to be patient
III. Patient to offer grace and love to others

Hi all!
I have just completed this for my friend Annie's Birthday:
IKEA RIBBA frame which is a brilliant box frame and only £3.50. It does have glass in it but it's not good to take a photo with the glass in!
I'm really pleased with the finished piece and it's cost less than a fiver to make. The frames are great and they come in black too. I hope that this inspires someone else to have a go!

Summer tour 11, Day 5- Mt Pleasant, MI
There's a really annoying thing that happens when you're booking tour. A promoter confirms a show with you, keeps in good touch telling you how awesome the show is going to be and then a few weeks before you hit the road when you try to get details on the show they just stop responding to you. You write to them, and/or call, and/or text, and they never get back to you. Were they a digital apparition? Did you dream them up? Did they die? You may never know, but you do know now that you have next to no time to find yourself another show. Neat!
That's the story of this day. Prepared to eat the day off with Pierce (one of our best friends and old bass player) in Toledo where we'd crashed the night before, I got an email from Rorik from the band Cloud Rat offering us a last minute show at his store in Mt Pleasant, Michigan. Score! Pierce took us out for delicious sesame tofu, our family reunion came to an end, and we hit the road. Miss you broham!
First stop: Detroit to get Madison, vocalist extraordinaire. Have you heard Cloudrat yet? If not, do so. With Madison in the van, Dave tried not to talk lest he expose himself as a Cloud Rat fanboy (not that it mattered, I outed him as soon as he was out of earshot.)
Ever find yourself wondering what hardcore is all about? I can tell you: this show.
#1. The show happened in a hc kid-owned independent record store called Justice Records.
#2. Rorik (one of the two owners of JR) swooped in to help us and set this show up on 36 hours notice with his band Cloudrat and Brent (the other owner)'s band, Time To Deal, just to help us out.
#3. Despite how last minute the show was, people showed up, supported, and went wild. Couch cushions were moshed with. Walls were worked.
#4. Rorik and Brent hooked us up with food and beverage, put us up, and knowing we needed to practice with Ivan, let us practice in their store DURING BUSINESS HOURS.
Ya see? Dudes grow up and keep hardcore a part of their lives, go out of their way to help kids they don't know, who then mosh and eat together and in less than 24 hours all become friends. That is what it's about.
After the show Rorik spent his night in the kitchen making vegan burritos for everyone while we hung with about half the show in his living room, and when all the tortillas and avocados were gone we did what we do worst: gambled.
Soaring Eagle Casino was a siren in the night, enticing us with its player's club card ("sign up and get $10 free!"), luring us with its unlimited soda machine, blinding us to rational thought with its brightly colored flashing slots, robbing us with its $5 table minimums.
We awoke the next day (a little broker than the night before) to Rorik making us vegan banana pancakes. He gave us the (ONLY) keys to his store (which was set to open in 15 minutes) and we went off to practice. As we drove through the quaint soda-pop-fountain smiling-elderly-man-with-well-groomed-meticulously-parted-hair milk-shakey downtown of Mt Pleasant feeling vaguely like Michael J Fox in the first back to the future, Dave and I bickered about what time to leave for our next show until we were interrupted... by the van.
The van shook.
The van slowed.
"What the fuck?!"
"What was that?!"
The van crawled...
..aaaaand stopped.
"...we're out of gas."
Ivan and I hopped out of the van to push while a fat middle aged woman with a frizzy bouffant laid on the horn, impressing us with her ability to be either driving blind or be the honest to god center of the universe.
The iPhones among us looked up the closest gas stations and as we stood in various stages of irritation on the street I remembered something terrible: We had the one and only key to Justice Records... AND IT WAS SUPPOSED TO OPEN RIGHT THEN! Rorik had trusted us to open his store! Brent was waiting outside! AHHH!!!
A fan of comedic timing, my phone, the only phone with Rorik's number in it, died. The guys ran off in search of gas and I hit the streets of Mt Pleasant solo to find a place to charge. A cafe would be perfect. I walked around looking for someone to ask for directions, but the people of Mt. Pleasant steered clear of me. Real clear. My wild fashion choices (grey shorts and black shirt) were freaking out the squares to the point that no one would even talk to me. It was the most punk rock I've ever been.
A hippie girl wearing subversively dangly earrings was the only one not to shrink at the sight of me. She smiled and told me where to go.
"There's a café arouned the corner, it's a little vegan baker-"
"...yes, vegan."
I took off running.
The Flour Uprising's two charming owners told me (unprovoked) about every single thing they sold, over-pronouncing the words "VEGAN" and "ORGANIC" in a small-town we're-the-only-ones-selling-this-kinda-stuff way which I found absolutely charming.
Tethered to the wall by the phone, I called Rorik from a crouched position and explained. He very calmly drove over to get his key from me. For the second (and not the last time on this tour)… I burned with shame.
When we got to Justice Records no one was angry with us (thankfully), and we practiced with Ivan for the second time while business was conducted beside us. When our 3 song set had become 5 we hopped into our fully gassed van, nestled in next to our brand new gas can, said our thank yous and goodbyes, and drove off to Grand Rapids.

Donald Trump's electoral victory and appointment as the 45th President of the United States triggered a political tsunami across the globe. I still remember the day on which results were announced. Everybody in India, from seasoned journalists to rookie software engineers, expected a Hillary landslide. They had been counting on it for different reasons. India's mainstream media is heavily Anglocentric, a byproduct of the country's colonial past and influential Anglo-American diaspora. It took cues from the likes of BBC, CNN, The Guardian, New York Times and Washington Post. That the great majority of corporate czars and media conglomerates had invested themselves in a Hillary win (over not only the Republican Party but also Democrats represented by Bernie Sanders) did not bother them in the least. Only a minority of Indian citizens supported her flamboyant challenger. Why they chose to do so is something I will discuss later.
But Trump won, Hillary was trounced and a whole army of political observers and commentators ate humble pie. Unlike many non-white, non-Americans, I did not feel greatly perturbed by Clinton's defeat. Her ties to Wall Street, incredibly irresponsible and reckless behaviour in Libya and general enthusiasm for bloody interventions in the Middle East meant that there was little to choose between her and the Republicans. In fact, Trump came off as a dove in comparison to Hillary, with his condemnation of American adventurism and regime change strategies on foreign soil. Having seen a supposedly peace-loving Barack Obama drone and bomb hapless Yemenis and Afghans without mercy, I had little stomach for Hillary (whose cackling celebration of Muammar Gaddafi's lynching with a pithy "We came, we saw, he died" still sends shivers down the spine). But one also knew that his inauguration would embolden white supremacists within the United States.
Progressive Americans such as Noam Chomsky had warned the world of the dangers posed by a Trump presidency. I must admit that I did not take those warnings as seriously as I should have. The Democratic establishment's betrayal of Bernie Sanders seemed to destroy all hopes of America turning the corner. It left a bitter after-taste and reduced what looked like an American Spring to a hopeless scenario of choosing between the lesser of two evils. During my social media debates with friends agonizing over Hillary's loss, I was preoccupied with questioning liberal narratives (Hillary being a progressive candidate, Bernie's defeat having nothing to do with the conspiracy hatched by the Democratic Party's establishment, Russia being the primary reason for Clinton's defeat, and her ties to Wall Street bankers and Gulf Arab monarchs not being problematic).
I still hold on to those observations. But the haze enveloping Trump's persona has evaporated. He is no longer the unknown entity he was during the Presidential campaign. From half a world away, one can clearly see his dangerous alliance with white supremacist ideology (personified by Stephen Bannon), enthusiasm for war (revealed by the appointment of hawkish US generals to key posts in the administration and a spectacular increment in military expenditure), support for shady business families (exemplified by the elevation to the office of the US Secretary of Education of Betsy DeVos, wife of Dick DeVos of Amway and sister of Erik Prince of Blackwater) and opposition to women's rights (especially reproductive rights). Trump doesn't look like he is going to 'drain the swamp' any time soon. Rather, his administration seems to be absorbing the worst of the war mongering, crony capitalist specimens in Washington without compunction.
The most obvious manifestation of these developments has been a spurt of hate crimes. The vast majority of Indians had never taken the charge of xenophobia leveled against his followers with great alarm. Many were in fact supportive of his right-leaning politics (especially the small minority who supported his bid for the US presidency from the very beginning). With the exception of a few groups, attacks against religious (Muslim and Jew) and ethnic (African American and Hispanic) minorities by white extremists has rarely stirred the collective conscience of the NRI (Non Resident Indian) community in the United States or their brethren at home. It is only when this brand of violence engulfed their homes or endangered their economic interests that they reacted. The aftermath of Trump's inauguration as the 45th President of the US revealed the same dynamic at play.
This can be discussed in detail later. I will also examine different aspects of the Trump phenomenon (including the tragedy suffered by two NRI families, of the Telugu community of South India to which I belong). It reveals not only the ugliness of racism but also the ignorance and folly of those who seek to escape, nay profit from it, by diverting hatred towards others.

Indian dailies claim it to be on account of PM Modi being one of the first to congratulate Donald Trump over his electoral victory. South Carolina Republican Governor Nikki Haley (of Indian American descent) appointed Ambassador to the United Nations by the US President.

Image Attribution: The image above, sourced from Wikimedia Commons shows tilaks (sectarian marks of different Hindu groups). It is based on an illustration from the ethnographic works published by Robert Vane Russell, a British civil servant (1873-1915) , who was Superintendent of Ethnography in the Central Provinces of British India. He played a key role in the publication of ethnographic accounts of the people of this vast region. He also worked as Superintendent of Census Operations for the 1901 Census of India. Along with Rai Bahadur Hira Lal, Russell compiled 'The Castes and Tribes of the Central Provinces', which was published in 1916. The reference to tilaks is on account of the Hindu Samhati leader's appeal to Non Resident Indians (following Trump's victory and the spurt of hate crimes in the US). Right wing Hindus have often portrayed their co-religionists as 'exceptional immigrants' while directing the hatred of white, Christian supremacists towards Muslims and African Americans.

The long weekend was over, he had already gone back to work so I continued my shopping at Dongdaemun.
So far, I think Dongdaemun is the biggest shopping area in Seoul. Besides Migliore and Doota Tower that I visited a few days ago, there are another two buildings with the same concept. One of them is Hello aPM.
Hello aPM
After shopping for almost two weeks, I would like to share a few survival tips on shopping in Seoul. :D
1. Take note of the kiosk number.
If you like an item but not thinking of buying it yet, take note of the kiosk number. It is simply impossible to go back there based on your memory. Every floor is like a maze and the kiosks all look alike. Without the kiosk number, you could go round and round without knowing that you have passed it a few times. I experienced it myself, it took me 6 rounds wasting half a day to find that same kiosk again. :P
2. Know your risk level.
Since most sellers don't allow trying out their clothes, you should know how much risk that you could afford before buying it. If the price is very much higher than your risk level, it is advisable not to get it unless you are pretty sure that it will suit you perfectly.
If you are not sure whether this kind of style will suit you, it's better to try it out in the department store first. By the way, there is no harm to beg the sellers to let you try it on. Some sellers might just let you do it if they are desperate for sales.
3. Make use of the changing room.
Some buildings like Hello aPM and Migliore provide changing room on each floor. So, after you make your payment, take note of the kiosk number and its surroundings carefully and then dash to the changing room. You could quickly try it out and go back to the kiosk again for the exchange.
But exchange is not the solution for everything, the seller usually only let you exchange once and sometimes you might not be able to find other items that you like, so you are still stuck with it.
It is also not a guarantee that all sellers are willing to do exchange, so before buying things on impulse, make sure that you really like the clothes and comfortable in taking the risk. For sale items, exchange is definitely not allowed.
After browsing half a day at Hello aPM, I went up to the food court on the highest floor for my lunch. I just couldn't believe that this place could be so touristy. Once I arrived on that floor, all the touts rushed and shoved their menus to me and followed me everywhere. This had happened in Migliore too, which made me left and had my lunch from the street vendor. But this time, I really wanted to eat proper food, so I ignored them and slowly made my rounds.
Apart from the touts, daejuk bibimbap was yummy.
Dongdaemun Shoes Market
I wasn't interested in shoes at all, both the design and quality were pretty bad. And when I looked at the sole, they were not locally made, but imported from the world's largest factory.

#nomoremondays is part of an on-going series to learn more about people's dreams and aspirations beyond their professions and their titles.
I've always been curious about how people end up doing what they do (at work). Along the way, what dreams have they cast aside? What passions are left unfulfilled? What would they be doing if they didn't have to work for money?
This project is an attempt to understand why people do what they do, their desires, and the disconnect between realities and passions. To fuel off a discussion on why not, rather than, cannot. And at the very least, to learn more about the people around me.

The NGEE Arctic project is keen to collaborate with scientific partners from around the world. This makes sense for any number of reasons, but especially as it relates to our ultimate goal of improving pan-Arctic simulations of ecosystem-climate feedbacks. We need to work closely with others to make this happen.
Scientists from the Arctic Research Center, Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) have an active interest in the Arctic with research sites in Cambridge Bay, Canada; Zackenberg, Greenland; and Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. Interestingly, they also have a research site on the Seward Peninsula not far from our field site near Council, AK. We have met with representatives of KOPRI in the past and prior to this field campaign had coordinated with them to share information and possibly conduct a few measurements at their site.
Yoo Kyung Lee and Youngwook Kim arrived at our site after a 2 hour drive from Nome and Margaret (LBNL) spoke briefly with them about conducting a geophysical transect near their field site, along with plot-scale measurements of energy balance and NDVI. Sebastien (LBNL) had flown his UAS equipped with an optical camera over the KOPRI site several days ago, so we already had (once processed) a high-resolution digital elevation map (DEM) for them.
Although we have just a few days left before everyone departs, we will be able to undertake the measurements in the next two days. Once completed, we can share the data and then discuss other ways in which we can collaborate in the future. We look forward to the interaction and welcome collaboration with other international partners!

I'll confess that I always have a little bit of a happy cry whenever I'm blogging a wedding. I can't help it; I think it's all the beautiful pictures and the beaming smiles and reading the excited words from the bride and groom in the text that accompanies a wedding submission. Everything is just so joyful and hopeful and special. Ashley and Jack's big day held at Tythe Barn at Priston Mill is no exception.
This autumnal infused wedding is gorgeous! I'm adoring the abundance of blooms curated by florist extraordinaire Sabine Darrall and Ashley's oh so fluffy bespoke Suzanne Neville frock crafted by fusing together two of Suzanne's existing designs; how wonderful is that!
It's clear that Ashley was a big RMW fan whilst planning her wedding too (which we always love to hear!) with her calling on several of our Love Lust List recommended suppliers such as Little Bear Cakery and Mister Phill who took all the fantastic photos on the day.
