Twenty-six years I have been planted here on earth and I have seen more than a few historical markers take place. Unfortunately, most have been tragic. Bush being voted into office for eight years, the world trade centers being smashed to the ground by terrorist's attacks. It felt like things were going to be much better when the first African American president was voted into office, Mr. Barrack Obama, to some extinct it has. Then a young Black boy by the name of Trayvon Martin loses his life to the hands of a half White half Hispanic man George Zimmerman. Killed and shot dead, cold in the ground, and never to have a family of his own; never to travel the world and see that peace exists out there somewhere; never to find his "tribe." We ask why? Was it because of one night in his life where he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and at the hands of an alleged raging racist who allegedly was defending himself from being harmed? Or is it something deeper?
It's unfortunate. It's unfortunate that Trayvon's is lost. It's unfortunate that as of yesterday Zimmerman will not be formally punished for the crime of taking the life of Trayvon Martin. However, he is being punished. This man will not be able to safely walk the streets again in his life. Simple luxuries (going to the store, vacationing with family, walking the streets) are now obsolete in his world. Because of his poor choice, two lives were lost; Trayvon Martin's, as well as George Zimmerman's. I believe not in vain. It is due to this experience and not in spite of it that America is waking up! Black people across the nation are connecting to how afraid we feel and how under served we are treated by our government. I see white people acknowledging for the first time that this is a White democracy. Here to protect White people. For the first time in my life I see people acknowledging the proverbial elephant in the room. I am happy for it; because we are acknowledging it there is space to change it. It's because we are tired of the pain that there is space to heal. I am not excusing Zimmerman's actions. I am expressing gratitude for the national revolution that has arisen from these unfortunate circumstances. Here is an opportunity to look at our governmental systems and get what WE need from it. Here is an opportunity.
The thing is, at least for me. Everyday I ask myself if I am living in love or if I am living in fear. The unfortunate demise of Trayvon Martin has sparked tons of fear, specifically in the Black community. Still here is an opportunity to allow this young boy's demise to not be in vain. I am upset. I am disappointed by the verdict. It doesn't mean that justice can't be served. It doesn't mean that a community of people has to be mired deeper into the pits of anger. Is it love or is it fear? The revolution is here. The revolution will certainly not be televised, but it will be another marker in the history of this nation, and it is up to us to make sure that it is not marked by fear. Here is the opportunity. Thanks for stopping by and let's talk again soon.

Have you been there? Do you know if there are complete games? I'm three hours away and wondering if it is worth a trip.
Wondering where these bingos came from myself?
Wondering if they came from a stash I heard about in Idaho?
I will get some photos tomorrow & inquire. I'm taking my daughter up to sellwood tomorrow anyway for an appointment & have a couple of hours to kill. Looks like the hardware store is nearby.
dasvis..................Hit the link,then Home on web page.....
Closed Sept. 18 thru Oct. 4th
I was in Portland recently and stopped in to see the bingos. The haul is from Bremerton, not far from Seattle, apparently from an operator selling the remaining inventory of games he had moved from warehouse to warehouse through the years. The shop owner told me he originally had tried to sell mated heads and bodies, but gave that up when people started pestering him with questions such as "does it work?" He's now parting out the games and using the cabinets and glasses to create quirky furniture pieces. He didn't mention what he's doing with the electrical and mechanical guts of his games, but I'd guess most of it is being discarded. He's also selling playfields that are marked around $225. I saw a nice Sea Island backglass in a head that still had the magic screen unit. A Laguna Beach glass was nice and in a head that looked like it was empty. I've been in many architectural salvage yards, and this was the most orderly store I've seen.
At least you don't have to look at your irritated skin. (resized).jpg
Decent Laguna Beach backglass in otherwise empty head. (resized).jpg
Nice shot of hangking playfields and Bally Gayety (and other) head. (resized).jpg
The Bally Carnival Queen backglass looked good initially. On further inspection it is apparent that it has had its high odds razored out in the Washington State way, then restored to the real numbers, but with a white background. (resized).jpg

I have been having such a brilliant day today. I spent the morning cleaning the house (boring I know, but essential), so that I could spend the afternoon doing crafty stuff with my friend Alison, who was finally feeling up to coming over (dodgy knees are such a bugger!). We had such a great catch up, showing each other our recent crafty purchases!
Anyway, I'd been colouring another of the Bamboo images all week (only get about 20 minutes in the mornings to play before I have to get ready to go to work) so I had that ready to turn into a card, and I pulled off one of the old Saturday Sketch challenge sketches to work with it, then I got out a stash of old papers I'd printed off from Crafters Companion CD's and set to work, I borrowed a die from Alison to do the layer around bamboo, the finished result is this lovely card!
The next card is straight from the Party Paws papercraft collection and features the new pendulum cards, thought this one was lovely, not made for any other reason than I just felt like it, sometimes it's nice to just put something together (though there was a lot of thinking about which way round everything needed to go!).
Hope you like, I'm off to play some more, cook tea, yada, yada..... same old, same old!

Even the biggest, the strongest and the bravest will occasionally flinch at the feel and even the sight of a needle. But even though the doctors and nurses who administer them do it dozens of times each week, the concept of the Medical Feather offers a bit of peace of mind.
Adrian Borsoi's invention is a handheld doppler ultrasound with an intuitive and very visual OLED touchscreen. To use it, you first insert a disposable thermal patch into the tip and then use the device to scan the patient's arm for an area of easily accessible veins. The display tells the nurse when and where to apply the conical capsule, and this stays in place thanks to a handy adhesive backing. The Medical Feather's job is now over, and its succeeded to provide the perfect entry point for an intravenous injection, just out of view from the patient's angled gaze.

The day went like this:
- Up at 1 am
- Arrived to the bus pick up at 1:45 am
- Attempted to sleep on the 3+ hour drive to start point (very ineffective)
- Started hiking at 6 am, with a gentle rain and uphill terrain, and slippery trail conditions
- First stop, Madamas beach, 9 am and 3 hours into the hike
- Second major stop for "lunch", 12 noon, Paria Bay
- Third major stop, 2:30 pm at Brasso Seco, for great eats (rice, potatoes, dhalaloo, chicken, salad and juice)
- Fourth major stop, and the FINISH, at 7 pm at Lopino
- Fish broth soup, a medal and the sweet sense of having accomplished something REALLY physical and mentally tough
|Gayle looks on as Emile gives instructions at 5:55 am to the sleepy hikers!
Why did we CHOOSE to do this? As you can well imagine, I questioned this during the 13 hour trek. It wasn't about the views, or the yummy snacks along the way, it was about the challenge and pushing my limits to see if I could do it. Life really begins when you are on the edge of your comfort zone, right?
PS - There wasn't really an option not to finish. Most of the trek was only accessible on foot or by boat. It was only after Brasso Seco and the 25 mile mark that you could have opted for the bus to take you to the finish. But then there wouldn't have been a medal! Note: All 16 participants that started the hike finished, one solely due to Paul's heroics. But that is another story.

Godleads celebrates anniversary, graduates students
The Proprietress of Godleads Nursery and Primary School, Oshodi, Lagos, Celina Unegbu, has attributed educational problems in the country to lack of professionals and educationalists, which is affecting the sector.
Speaking at the 21st Anniversary and graduation ceremony of the school, recently, Unegbu said it has become common for people with no background knowledge or experience in education to establish schools. But because of this lack of expertise, they don't have the capacity to provide the sound foundation necessary for the children's future. Consequently, the children are not properly educated.
She said: ''For nursery and primary pupils, there is no need employing people with Masters degree or PHD to teach them. The categories of people that can take proper care of them are NCE and degree holders for upper primary. Without education, we are nowhere, as education is the pillar of any nation. I, therefore, urge the Federal Government to do all within its power to ensure that our educational system is up to standard.
"Parents should also contribute their quota by equipping their children with the right educational tools for the children to succeed in life. Parents should not divert their children's attention by forcing them to go into careers they don't like.''
The occasion recorded a large turnout of parents, well-wishers and guests, who came to celebrate with the school leavers, wishing them the best as they move on to greater heights. Some of the highlights of the event include choreography and debates by the students.

By Izuchukwu Okosi:
Former Flying Eagles and U-23 Eagles goalkeeper Ambrose Vanzekin has tipped Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi to win the 2015 UEFA Player of the Year Award to be announced on August 27.
UEFA have released a three-man final shortlist for the prize which includes perennial rivals Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Luis Suarez.
Vanzekin who faced Messi twice in his international career, at the 2005 FIFA U20 Word Cup and the 2008 Olympics, tells Completesportsnigeria.com that the four-time winner of the World Player of the Year prize, Messi, who masterminded Nigeria's defeat to Argentina at the finals of the U-20 and U-23 tournaments will clinch the award.
"In the period under review, Messi has done well and won the UEFA Champions League with Barcelona. He scored and still scores exceptional goals," Olympics silver medallist Vanzekin told completesportsnigeria.com.
"He does things that are difficult to accomplish. I think for all he has done with Barcelona, he has the edge over other players."
Vanzekin also spoke of his confrontations with Messi at the 2005 U-20 World Cup and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
"We lost twice to Argentina at the U-20 World Cup and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Well, he was a superb and is still a superb player. He led Argentina to the finals and on both occasions, we played them and lost.
"Perhaps in future, I will have a chance to face him again. I want my revenge against Messi and his team,'' Vanzekin added.

WWII program enlisted for war on child obesity
First lady's campaign enlists WWII-era law
A federal program that began in 1946 to remedy the shocking malnutrition among World War II recruits is being transformed into ground zero in the nation's new war against obesity.
The national school lunch program and other food programs under the Child Nutrition Act may be the most promising avenue to improve the nutrition of a generation of children who think food comes out of a wrapper and who face shorter lives because of their rising weight.
The costs of treating the chronic illnesses stemming from obesity, already at $147 billion a year in the United States, threaten to swamp the nation's foundering health care system.
"Think of it as a down payment on a preventative health care program," said Anthony Geraci, director of food and nutrition for the Baltimore City Public Schools, who won an award for purchasing $1 million a year from local farms. "The up-front costs of feeding our kids better food are wiped out on the back end by the high cost of treating Type 2 diabetes. To me, it's a no-brainer."
This program and a several others that feed more than 31 million children a day - and half of all infants born in the nation - will be at the center of a new anti-obesity campaign that first lady Michelle Obama will roll out Tuesday, with a preview today by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack at the National Press Club.
Connecting kids, food
Once-radical innovations are starting to go mainstream, including the school gardening movement pioneered by restaurateur Alice Waters at Berkeley public schools that is intended to reconnect children with real food.
Vilsack has fielded a "Farm to School Tactical Team" of USDA advisers to carry out the once-novel idea of linking schools with local farmers. National nutrition standards are being upgraded, schools got stimulus money to help them rebuild their kitchens, and training of school food preparers is getting increased attention.
Students and teachers are using Web sites that display actual school meals to shame school cafeterias into compliance. The sites show schools attempting with varying degrees of success to add fresh vegetables and fruits to their offerings.
At Fedupwithschoollunch.blogspot.com, there's something called "popcorn chicken" paired with a pear, and a packaged peanut butter and jelly "graham cracker sandwich" accompanied by apple slices.
Comparing lunches
At Americanlunchroom.com, a Berkeley lunch shows a fresh chicken taco with freshly prepared pinto beans, salad and a plum, while a school lunch in Chicago offers corn chips with cheese sauce, french fries, canned pears in syrup and chocolate milk.
"I know a lot of people think school lunches are getting better, although if you ask parents and kids I doubt they would have that opinion, " said Susan Levin, director of nutrition education at of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
School chefs say it's hard to feed children a decent meal on $1, which is what many have left after overhead costs.
The Obama administration budgeted an extra $1 billion a year for school lunch programs to expand access and raise reimbursements to districts for the meals they serve. Schools now get $2.68 per lunch, and more for partly and fully subsidized meals for poor students.
"There are some food service managers around the country who have just made amazing transformations, using much more fresh food, more local food, getting rid of the packaged and processed foods," said Leslie Mikkelsen, managing director of the Prevention Institute, an Oakland nonprofit. "These are the model for where we want to go as a nation."
The Prevention Institute's broad approach to improving nutrition and physical activity in poor communities is being picked up by the administration, whose new budget proposed a "healthy food financing initiative" that would attract grocery stores to poor neighborhoods and help independent grocers improve their offerings.
Tougher regulations
In schools, many are trying to force fast-food vendors and snack vending machines to meet the same nutrition requirements that school cafeterias must meet.
These "competitive foods" are sold to the same children who are getting subsidized federal meals, said Jim Weill, president of the Food Research and Action Center, an advocacy group in Washington. "There is very broad agreement that there needs to be some tougher regulation of food that isn't part of the federal programs."
President and Michelle Obama have adopted what may appear to be conflicting goals: Michelle Obama wants to end obesity, and her husband's goal is to end childhood hunger.
'Food insecurity'
There is what some call an unexplained paradox of rising obesity and "food insecurity" in poor households. Weill contends that part of the explanation lies with the higher cost of fresh, healthier food, the lack of opportunity for safe physical activity in poor neighborhoods, a lack of stores selling fresh food there, and the lack of time by working parents to prepare fresh meals.
Geraci, the Baltimore chef, said many children no longer know what a fresh, ripe peach even tastes like.
Better food at school, where children spend most of their hours, can help diets at home, many nutritional experts believe.
Geraci focuses on "nutrient dense" foods: "so maybe instead of french fries, do a baked sweet potato fry," he said. "It's a super food. It still hits all the flavor stuff that kids crave, but it's much better for you. Instead of feeding your kid a chicken nugget that's mostly corn syrup and soy, why not feed them a quarter-chicken that's baked with fresh herbs?"
Vilsack said a recent survey found that only one-third of all high school students met recommended levels of physical activity; about a quarter of them played video or computer games three or more hours on average each school day, and one-third watched television three hours or more on an average weekday.
Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, who chairs the House Education and Labor Committee, will have principal authority over rewriting the Child Nutrition Act this year and said his objectives are to improve access and nutrition quality.
A tale of 2 school lunches
Nutritional quality of public school lunches varies widely. Menu examples at high schools in Berkeley and Chicago in 2009:
Berkeley: Chicken taco, organic brown rice, fresh-cooked pinto beans, sour cream, salad and a plum.
Chicago: Corn chips with cheese sauce, french fries, ketchup, pears in syrup and chocolate milk.

Hi Mingxi, >From your stacktrace, I understand that the OutOfMemoryError has actually occured while copying the MapOutputs, not while sorting them. Since your Mapoutputs are huge and your reducer does have enough heap memory, you got the problem. When you have made the reducers to 200, your Map outputs have got partitioned amoung 200 reducers, so you didnt get this problem. By setting the max memory of your reducer with mapred.child.java.opts, you can get over this problem.

Eurema brigitta
The Broad-bordered Grass Yellow; it has a wide distribution, from central and southern Africa stretching across the Sub-continent to Australia.
The Virtual Museum puts this as the most recorded of the Erema, but here it comes a poor second to our E. desjardinsii. The underside markings, in comparison with E. hecabe and E. desjardinsii the similar bolder markings are drawn here with a silvery grey irroration.
At the top an older specimen from Cumberland in the middle of summer, the pale yellow suggests this is a female. It is perched on an (invasive) Lantana.
Next is from Bisley, perched on an Acacia.
Below, a few Eurema were mud-puddling at Bisley. It is interesting to compare the E. Desjardinsii (at the back,) with its bolder markings and angled hind wing with the E. Brigitta in front.

I was wondering if anyone can help me pick out the pros and cons of these Torazo's kohakus because I am debating which one I should. The first one is 20 inches and the second is 19 inches. Thanks for ur feedback!!
The second Kohaku remind me so much of my own Torazo Kohaku. Torazo Koi
In this case of yours, I would like to go for the second Kohaku (the one on the right).
Although tail stop (odome) and beni on the head hits the right eye, I just have a feeling the beni quality is better than the other.
It's just my personal opinion.
Personally I much prefer the first left hand fish. Better body shape and much more pleasing distribution of Beni.
I am however a total beginner about koi appreciation - so feel free to ignore me.
But I do know what I like
The different camera angles affect how the bodies are perceived. The two seem quite alike in body form and are at the same stage of development. The one on the right appears to have more even Beni, but that could be the lighting. The red on the eye of the one on the right is a negative for me. Altogether, I'd select the one on the right based on these photos alone, but really would want to see in person.
So Torazo no longer makes torazo sanke! And the kohaku are different lines from other folks. He is as VERY gifted breeder just as his father was. Thats for sure. But as he son will share with you, he uses others lines now and puts his own mark on the past few generations of koi that come from his efforts.
Once upon a time, it is said that there were between 3000-4000 koi breeders in Japan. Today I doubt there are 500? The variety production has become slower in general and the great system of introducing enough traits to call it its own variety has to to a near halt.
So it is now very natural that in gosanke, the main breeders introduce traits from others but the pool of variation is every shrinking.
Try and think of gosanke this way--- not in breeder names but rather in the variation in kohkau traits;
1) you have about three main body types
2) you have about six color tones
3) you have about three skin types and then grades of these three
4) you have two types of beni development and then grades of that development.
The breeders will work with these variables and add what they desire -- but NOT in unlimited combinations. The reason for this is many of these traits I listed as linked to one another. JR
Thanks for all of ur replies but my guts are telling me to go for the first one!!
I like the first Kohak hands down...
The first fish as a bigger head and so appears to have a larger bone structure. But this is the problem with photos, depending on the angle the fish can appear 'bigger' and more imposing or smaller. So the first picture is front on in its focus and the second is slightly downward.
The beni is the thing! The beni ( if the flash is not making for an illusion) is not as uniform in content and 'travel' as the second fish and also a bit thinner. So lighter does not always mean 'tategoi' or future. In otherwords, 'future' means unknown and unknow is not menaing 'tategoi'.
Uniformity in beni is the goal. You want to see beni as 'plates' that make up the entire pattern. each plate should be coming along at the same rate as the rest. And all catching up with the head color tone over time. That is a tricky thing. Look for thinness, areas that are congested and uneven. This 'could' be a condition and not a statement, but that is a form of a gamble. In the end, the fish on the right is probably a little more finished -- but a very nice finish ( perhaps 70% done).
The good lesson here with these two fish is that they exactly the same beni type. So it is easier to see the difference. JR

Flowers symbolically convey strong message without words. A single red rose conveys a stronger message of love than a gift of jewelry, or a love sonnet. This one reason why flowers were plays many roles in life of families and individuals in all cultures throughout history. Flowers are part of every important occasion in the life of the individual, when a child is born; the parents are greeted with bouquets of flowers to welcome new life. When two individuals marry and become a couple, flowers are used to decorate the venue and are carried by the couple in all cultures. On each anniversary, flowers, red roses, white lilies, creamy daisies, and golden marigold are given to convey love and affection, to mark an important occasion and keep pace with the growing family.
Florists say that red roses are used every day by lovers and married couples to show strength of emotion to each other. An experienced florist says that color of roses talk yellow rose means happiness, a red rose says "I care for you, I love you." A rose bud, particularly a red rose bud symbolizes youth, innocence and hope. More roses, particularly red roses, are given and received every day as compared to other type of flowers.
Not only red roses convey meanings and give wordless messages but flowers of other colors also have meaning. Condolence wreaths generally contain flowers of white color, roses, lilies and green leaves. White color conveys sorrow and hopes to bring peace the departed soul and grieving family members. On the other hand red roses convey a stronger message than I love you, it symbolizes a gift that comes straight from the heart because the color of heart. That is the reason red roses are given as gift on the Valentine Day. Red roses also represent passion and romantic love.

Join us for our monthly book group! March's book is Lab Girl by Hope Jahren. No sign up or RSVP necessary. Just read the book and join us for good conversation, insight, a few laughs, and cookies!
Geobiologist Hope Jahren has spent her life studying trees, flowers, seeds, and soil. Lab Girl is her revelatory treatise on plant life--but it is also a celebration of the lifelong curiosity, humility, and passion that drive every scientist. In these pages, Hope takes us back to her Minnesota childhood, where she spent hours in unfettered play in her father's college laboratory. She tells us how she found a sanctuary in science, learning to perform lab work "with both the heart and the hands." She introduces us to Bill, her brilliant, eccentric lab manager. And she extends the mantle of scientist to each one of her readers, inviting us to join her in observing and protecting our environment. Warm, luminous, compulsively readable, Lab Girl vividly demonstrates the mountains that we can move when love and work come together.
Hope Jahren is an award-winning scientist who has been pursuing independent research in paleobiology since 1996, when she completed her PhD at University of California Berkeley and began teaching and researching first at the Georgia Institute of Technology and then at Johns Hopkins University. She is the recipient of three Fulbright Awards and is one of four scientists, and the only woman, to have been awarded both of the Young Investigator Medals given within the Earth Sciences. She was a tenured professor at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu from 2008 to 2016, where she built the Isotope Geobiology Laboratories, with support from the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. She currently holds the J. Tuzo Wilson professorship at the University of Oslo, Norway.

Well, this is certainly turning out to be a trying summer as you all know, lol. I suppose it is good for testing out heat tolerance in my vegetables, which, to be honest, is something I am aiming for.
The oca seedlings from the past couple of years were grown in field conditions this year with less care than found in my home garden. This has really tried them and most are dead now. It is sad to see but my main interest in growing oca was to select them to be able to grow well in hot summers.
I will have a few that will come through which is great but I have also been interested to notice that the plants that have severe weed competition are doing better than those that were well weeded. They are actually growing quite well among the thick running grass.
This pic is of the Glass Gem. I put a couple of hundred seeds in but they are doing so poorly that I am not sure I will get anu cobs at all off them. The tassles can't even make it out of the curled leaves and the silks die as soon as they emerge.
My Sword beans have been sitting, doing nothing with their two seed leaves/cotyledons for months but now they have suddenly decided to put out some new leaves. I am not sure they will grow enough to mature beans before frost now.
I nearly didn't see these ripe 'Verde Claro' tomatoes but I am glad I picked them this morning. They are absolutely delicious, the taste is unusual and very sweet. It is definitely a grape tomato that I will plant again.

And so, the wait comes to an end; in just under a week's time the first grand prix of the 2014 Formula 1 season will have drawn to a close and we will have got to know the first winner of the year – and it only takes a glance over the three recent winter tests to understand the significance of the top step of the Australian podium to whoever claims it, and likewise – their rivals. Because, although every start of the season brings along its number of uncertainties, the Melbourne grid 2014 will be ridden with question marks – let's take a look at the main ones.
How many cars will finish the race?
This dramatic question was posed even before the Jerez test in January, but still remains a key talking point across the Formula 1 board.
The reliability issues the teams have been experiencing ever since the unveiling of their 2014 challengers have made it impossible to establish who, if anyone, will be able to see their car run all the 58 laps without experiencing an engine or breaking failure, or a computer issue turning the whole Energy Recovery System (ERS) on its head and rendering the turbocharger useless – not to mention the adjustment of new Pirelli tyres, which, although designed as more durable, have also caused a few headaches already this year.
The all new and most complex regulation requirements for Formula 1 cars to date have posed a litany of problems ahead of all teams without exception, resulting in some of them missing out on whole afternoons of testing or even days (read: Lotus, who only began running from the second test, in Bahrain). The truth lies in the numbers: in 2013 the total mileage covered by the 11 teams over the 12 days of testing was 31,032 – this year only 22,975.
So, at the centre of the biggest question mark ahead of the Australian GP is the consensus that every team stands the chance of claiming the chequered flag – even if it was simply by managing to bring their car to the finish line in one piece.
Who is the favourite?
As the sunset fell on Sao Paulo on November 24, 2013 and Red Bull were wrapping up their fourth consecutive double-championship, the debate about the potential of the upcoming season to overturn the team's dominance had already started, but few people gave it much gravitas. Red Bull, and Sebastian Vettel specifically, had proven on many former occasions that they can still come out victorious in the face of diversity.
No wonder then that their pre-season testing has been dubbed "disastrous" and photos of the German champ pushing his stunning new machine back to the garage were eagerly shared by F1 staff and media alike. The team only managed 1063 miles of running, placing them just ahead of Marussia and Lotus – with the latter one having missed out on whole four days after all. Out of this Vettel did 162miles – by comparison to the distance setter of the winter period, Mercedes' Nico Rosberg's 554.
Currently Mercedes are quietly called favourites, following successful race and qualifying simulations, and having closed the winter testing at the top of the leaderboard for mileage, and yet they are quick to admit they still fear reliability issues as the W05's performance started to drop in the final Bahrain days. "My car is not 100% ready yet," Rosberg said. "We might be in a better position than some other teams, but we need to get to the end of the race, so that's a big challenge."
McLaren, who after a wonky start in Jerez seemed to have picked up ground running fastest laps early in the testing, disappeared in the shadows once more in February with Jenson Button being quoted saying the car is "further behind than expected"; the tone is echoed by Lotus' Romain Grosjean who bluntly admitted the team is simply not ready for Melbourne and called on his squad not to treat Australia as another test session.
Among all this pessimism Williams has been looking surprisingly strong, with Felipe Massa having topped the timesheets at the final test in Bahrain, which also rounded off the winter testing's second-best mileage by the team of just 50 miles behind Mercedes. and that having only caused only one red flag during the whole period – contrasting with seven by Lotus and Sauber each.
At the end of the day, however, Red Bull competitors agree that the Milton Keynes outfit and their engine supplier Renault will sort out its issues soon enough – and when they do they will be very difficult to compete with.
Has the show lost its spark?
With the scale of the new regulations finally materialising the question of Formula 1's attractiveness as the most exciting sport in the world has been brought up to the forefront. Some decisions that have been made to boost the competitive appeal of the discipline have caused an outrage among the teams and fans alike – starting with the ugly car nose designs resulting from updated safety regs and culminating in the double-point system for the final race in Abu Dhabi. The feel of the races themselves was also put into doubt with the expectation of smaller turbocharged V6 engines lacking the roar and bite of their normally-aspired V8 predecessors – a fear that seemed confirmed in the first days in Jerez, but waved off as the testing progressed.
Listen here to how the V6 engines by the four manufacturers (including Honda from 2015) sound:
The speed of the new packages was difficult to measure as the teams scarcely used the new powertrains to their full capacity, but the drivers who managed some throttle-heavy runs on the straights said they could feel the cars' potential. The new ERS system with a doubled electric motor size from last year to 12kW is expected to offer an energy boost for as long as 30sec per lap. The 760 bhp package explains the addition of the eight gear to the F1 chassis box for the first time; and while the 100kg of fuel per race limit might lead some teams to curbing the pace and betting for a more cautious cruising style, they might just as well opt for the complete opposite – after all, the previous few years have given us some examples (Red Bull and Mercedes to suggest but a couple) when teams just got away with ultra-light tanks.
The new qualifying rules might boost the viewing numbers on Saturdays, as the times of sessions are due to change (Q1 cut down to 18 mins to add two extra minutes to Q3 allowing enough time for two runs in the final leg) and the drivers are set to run the race on their Q2 tyres (as opposed to current rules of keeping Q3 tyres for the race) a move to avoid tyre preservation strategies in the final stint. Additionally, the new pole trophy might work as an extra incentive for teams not to "sit-it-out" in their garages until their absolute limit.
And, of course, we should not forget about the drivers, who will certainly contribute to a spike in the sport's popularity – at least for the first few races. It will be interesting to see how the new pairings for this year: Alonso-Raikkonen, Vettel-Ricciardo, Button-Magnussen or Grosjean-Maldonado pan out; whether Massa can bring the all new Martini-Williams livery to the front of the grid and whether Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg will benefit from remaining a unified pairing amongst this chaos. Not to mention the fact that eyes of everyone will be following closely one young German champion to see whether he can ultimately prove his greatness by winning against all odds.
Undoubtedly, the sheer multitude of changes brought into the 2014 season will make the first races of the year an intriguing spectacle. It's rather unlikely that Melbourne will provide definite answers to all, if any, of the above questions… while it might just create some new ones.

Well i can't believe it was as long ago as April i last wrote in my Blog. As usual once the Sun comes out my foot comes off the work pedal and lunch breaks seem to get longer. I discovered the delights of a bag out at the Cafe Roma (by the Civic Centre) this Summer. I like my Earl Grey weak, so the Kiosk staff kindly leave the bag out for me. My friends Jake and Mario often join me there to discuss our individual artistic backgrounds. The Roma guys have even named a coffee after Jake. I did two Zen retreats with my teacher Reb Anderson during June and August. The first was for a week in Switzerland at a beautiful place called Felsentor overlooking lake Lucerene. This image was taken from my room at 5.30am. The retreat was held in a replica of an authentic Japanese Temple, it was built with all the traditional materials down to the last detail. The second retreat was at Gaia Hse near Newton Abbot.
The Autumn has found me making up for lost time in the Summer and preparing work for various exhibitions. This Xmas I'll be showing new work at the Artmill Gallery in Hyde Park Road, opening on November 17th. Another one of my recent tasks is writing a Zen item for the Last Friday Newsletter I'll be posting the items on my Blog ASAP and hope you find them worth a look.

|Me in my chair, always #3, with the Tranquility Garden behind!
We met with the plastic surgeon on December 16th and I am happy to say that I am going for surgery to remove my right breast, and have my expanders implanted on both sides on February 7th in the new Abbotsford hospital. I will have one overnight stay, and I know it will be a bit tough with the baby after the surgery, but I have a lot of help so we will make it through. Once I am recovered from that, the plan is to start radiation in early March. I have to go to the Abbotsford Cancer Agency every day, 5 days a week for about 5-6 weeks (between 25 and 28 radiation treatments). The sessions are only about 10 minutes long, but then there is the prep to get ready before and after so I figure it will take about an hour a day. After that, then the plastic surgeon will start to "pump me up" to get ready for the implants (who knew I would every have them!!). I guess this is one of the perks of breast cancer - a new pair :)
We have also officially started our new business venture - well, we are ready to start as soon as the snow decides to arrive. Mullen Bros Landscaping & Snow removal at your service! That has been a fun, and sometimes harry, experience so far, but we are super excited to get that going. Now we are just out pounding the pavement getting customer contacts. If you know anyone in the Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Langley area looking for our services, please pass on our contact number 778.242.1844. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

..and last but certainly not least - little miss Keira is just growing like a weed. I figure she is at least 16lbs 5oz by now - and she is just a delight. She is still sleeping through the night. She went on her first train (the West Coast Express Xmas Train), and rode the Seabus for the first time - and Daddy gave her her first taste of real food - ICE CREAM! Mommy wasn't thrilled with that choice, but it was pretty cute to see her lick the ice cream off the cone and realize what there is more to life than Enfamil A+ from a bottle. We picked up some rice cereal yesterday so that is the next step for our little pumpkin.
|No, I'm not a snowman - or am I?
For those who celebrate, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas. For everyone, happy holidays to you and may 2011 bring you peace, health, happiness - and love! Thank you for being there for me during the last 7 months - it has sure been a ride, and I am grateful for all the lovely people I have in my life.
Until next year!
Love Kelly, Oliver, Aidan and baby Keira

BMW Will Present 5 Electric Models At LA Auto Show
BMW has announced that it will present five all-electric vehicles including one "World Premiere" vehicle from the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show which begins at the end of this month (at least to the press…public days begin December 1st).
In total, the BMW Group intends to have 25 electrified models by 2025, including specific 12 electrics – a distinction between electrified (that also includes plug-in hybrids) and electric (all battery-electric) encourages us that the new model is a BEV, alongside the premier of the new plug-in hybrid BMW i8 Roadster.
In teasing the event, BMW mentions three electric North American Premieres:
- BMW i Vision Dynamics
- MINI Electric Concept
- BMW i3s
We believe that the fourth is the standard, but refreshed BMW i3, and the fifth to be all-new all-electric model.
The other plug-ins are:
- BMW C-Evolution Scooter
- BMW X7 iPerformance Concept
About the plug-ins:
"The BMW i Vision Dynamics is an all-electric, emission-free four-door Gran Coupe that accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds, has a top speed of 120 mph with a range of 373 miles. The BMW i Vision Dynamics combines electric mobility with the core values of BMW – dynamism and elegance – and demonstrates how the product range and design language of BMW i can be further incorporated into other models. The new characterization of BMW i's iconic window profile is a standout feature of the BMW i Vision Dynamics, offering all passengers equally striking views out of the vehicle to lend a shared driving experience – a factor that will become increasingly relevant as semi- and autonomous driving become closer to commonplace.
Fully electric vehicles will run across the BMW Group portfolio and MINI will showcase its take on future personal mobility in the city with the North American premiere of the MINI Electric Concept. Designed for use in urban areas, this MINI Electric Concept vehicle offers a window into how pure-electric day-to-day mobility might look in the years ahead. The concept vehicle brings the iconic design, city-dwelling heritage and customary go-kart feeling of the MINI brand into the electric mobility age. MINI will then present an all-electric series-production model in 2019.
The new BMW i3s is a sportier and more powerful variant of the BMW i3, the best-selling compact battery-electric vehicle in the premium compact segment worldwide since it launched in 2014. The first ever BMW i3s provides an even sportier interpretation of silent mobility with zero emissions and features a high output 184 hp electric motor that generates peak torque of 199 lb-ft. The BMW i3s accelerates from 0-60 mph in 6.8 seconds and has a top speed of 100 mph. The BMW i3s uses a lithium-ion high-voltage battery developed by the BMW Group with a cell capacity of 94-ampere hours (Ah). Like the BMW i3, the BMW i3s applies the concept of sustainability throughout the interior and exterior of the vehicle, incorporating recycled plastics, renewable raw materials, natural fibers, and open-pored, unbleached eucalyptus wood in the design. The new BMW i3s will be available in U.S. showrooms in November, 2017. Pricing will be announced closer to market launch."
"Following BMW Group's sustainability strategy and parallel to BMW i in the automobile sector, BMW Motorrad presents the BMW C-Evolution Scooter. The electrically powered maxi-scooter efficiently combines sustainability, dynamics, control and agility. The powerful, completely electric engine guarantees immediate torque and a riding range of up to 99 miles. The C-Evolution scooter has a top speed of 80 mph and travels from 0 to 31 mph in a mere 2.8 seconds. The BMW C-Evolution Scooter will be available in California showrooms in Spring 2018 with an MSRP of $13,750."
"The BMW X7 iPerformance Concept introduces a new model concept for the premium segment that utilizes BMW eDrive technology with a BMW TwinPower Turbo petrol engine creating an exceptionally efficient and dynamic plug-in hybrid powertrain that excels in all driving situations, including running with zero local emissions. With a generously-sized, six-person interior, the BMW X7 iPerformance Concept offers an interior with a state-of-the-art infotainment system brimming with connectivity that provide an unmatched experience by any BMW past or present. As a result of the interplay between precise, pared-down forms and an open sense of space, the driver and passengers are immersed in a unique, modern setting."

2017 …. BMW 1 Electric
2025 ….. BMW 12 Electrics
BMW is actually one of the largest sellers of plug-in vehicles world wide, something like 4% of their cars are plug-in, and increasing rapidly. Granted, these aren't 100% electric models, but they will work to reduce component costs and develop important supplier relationships for BMWs and get owners more comfortable with electric.
Oops, that was supposed to be in response to CDAVIS.
I wonder if that MINI comes with AWD and can sit four adults comfortably
The Mini EV could sell well.
Please, BMW… At least one PHEV that's a real EV, with 35-40mi+ EPA AER.
i3 REX?
I'm really looking forward to this.
BMW X3 electric would make for an awesome world premiere…
From the press release, the I Vision Dynamics is not specified as a concept.
Is it a production or a concept car?
"BMW has announced that it will present five all-electric vehicles including one "World Premiere" vehicle from the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show"
Why did they not present it in Frankfurt? And why do they not want to wait till Detroit?
Why Los Angeles (California)?
Because it's the home state of Tesla?
Who cares about Detroit.
LA is a trend setting city, Detroit is not.
The new BMW i3 is a 4 seater(!), practically 2 door(!) 240 km EPA range e-car, with a cca. 45 000 USD pricetag.
Still sells well..

How do I make my own scotcheggs?
1. Boil eggs 2. wrap the cooked, cooled eggs in sausage meat.
3.then roll then in beaten egg , then in bread crumbs.
4. bake till golden.
Or, for a different twist -- boil quail eggs (just two minutes, you want them soft-boiled). Chop some fresh salmon very fine, season with chives, dill and parsley, beat in an egg, and use it to wrap the quail eggs. Dredge in flour, dip in an egg wash, coat in breadcrumbs, deep fry.

I'm The Type of Girl...
…that thinks people have just got the title wrong when discussing the film "Sunshine". In my head they're talking about "Little Miss Sunshine". It makes for very confusing movie reviews.
…when spelling things on the phone, says "A for ABBA".
…that loves it when purchases are wrapped in tissue paper.
…that judges people over the age of 25 saying "My bad".
…who will never walk under a ladder.
…that gets a thrill out of wearing red shoes.
…that makes wishes at 11:11.
…that will obsess over any nice gesture a guy does for or towards me. Mixed messages are the reason I am crazy.
…that believes in the Loch Ness monster.
…who gets goosebumps when someone cracks their knuckles.
…who counts going into the gym to pay your monthly fees counts as cardio.
…that believes most problems can be solved with a latte.
Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!

I love that list and the picture is fab! I chuckled at the 'I believe in the Loch Ness Monster'! A couple of years I stayed at Loch Lomond about an hour's drive from Edinburgh.

While bargaining, really feel free to require time to think of counter-offers, utilize the washroom, or have a dish. There need to be no rush when making this choice, as well as the sales representative needs to aid you really feel secure.
Tom's automotive parts scours the internet looking for the best deals on new and used automotive parts and accessories. We include results from Ebay which is the best place to find these parts for less.
Second, take into consideration cash; what is your price wide range? A common rule-of-thumb is to set your greatest allocated quantity at 20 % of your net earnings. As an example, a person making $50,000 need to mark $10,000 as their max acquisition quote. When making this decision, you have to take right into account the expense of having the car, spending for gas, as well as your various other connected bills. You may readjust your spending plan correctly.

The Mobile AMD-K6-III-P processor is now available in speeds of 450MHz, 433MHz and 400MHz, while the Mobile AMD-K6-2-P is available at 475MHz, 450MHz and 433MHz. AMD continues to offer the only mobile processors that support advanced features such as a 100MHz-frontside bus and 3DNow!(TM) technology.
"AMD has seen a dramatic growth in its portable market share since the introduction of the Mobile AMD-K6-2 family of products earlier this year," said Dana Krelle, vice president of marketing for AMD's Computation Products Group. "The most recent market share numbers from PC Data Inc. show that AMD-K6 processor-based notebooks reached an all-time high U.S. retail market share of 67 percent in July. The addition of these new processor speed grades reflects our commitment to continue introducing leading technology into the notebook market, offering our customers the best performance and value at all system price points."

The aim is to improve the net shot technique. 2 players are needed to perform this drill. Player 1 starts as a feeder and throws a shuttle over the net from one service line. Player 2 starts on the opposite service line, as the receiver.
As player 1 throws the shuttle player 2 steps towards the net with their dominant foot and plays a net shot with their racket arm outstretched.
Player 2 should aim to get the shuttle to land as close to the net as possible, but definitely before the short service line of player 1's court.
Hit 10 net shots and count how many land before the service line. Swap roles and repeat the drill, see who hit the most in the correct area.
- Hit backhand net shots
- Play a mini game between the two players just using from one short service line to the opposite one as the court. Players can only hit net shots. First player to 10 points wins. Score as in a normal game.
Coaching Points:
- Make sure grip, footwork and swing are correct
- Take the shuttle at the highest point possible.

Tougher Than Tina Cycle Goes Bust!
So my third injectible cycle didn't work. I am very upset. I am going to skip this cycle and try to get myself together. At the end of the month I will meet with my doctor to discuss my options.

Tonight's Fortune Cookie
"You will be pleasantly surprised soon."
I have been trying not to get my hope's up because the let down is so brutal. I mean when AF comes not only do I have to deal with the disappointment but I also have to get myself back into the stirrups and start the whole egg drop drama from scratch.
But when I opened the fortune cookie tonight I was pleasantly surprised and it really made me feel a glimmer of hope.
I don't actually feel pregnant but I know that that feeling is neither scientific nor definitive.
We'll see.

Photo Friday: Black and White
Here is a candid of one our cats, Remy. She has a purr like a diesel engine. In this photo, she is trying to comfort me as I talked her ear off last night about how I 'just know' I'm not pregnant.
Nadia was working late and I was lying in bed, when Remy decided to join me. She asked me to tell her my deep dark secrets with her eyes, so I poured my heart out.
She learned about my fear of never getting pregnant and of my fatigue and frustration with the TTC.
I have to admit that she is not 'my favorite' cat. She has too much energy and a mischievous air, which can be tedious when she has hidden a piece of my jewelry, or when she wants to play with my feet in the middle of the night.
But I have to admit that she was very sweet to me last night and quite a comfort in my time of need. I will always love her dearly for that.

Kim Zolciak and her daughters Brielle and Ariana are a lookalike trio in a new photo.
The picture shows Zolciak, Brielle and Ariana striking a pose for a selfie.
All three women sport long and wavy blonde hair, matte and neutral-colored makeup, and glossy lips.
"The Biermann Babes @arianabiermann @briellebiermann," Zolciak captioned the post.
She often shares photos with her children, including a slideshow with Brielle during a flight in June.
"Delta Diaries Today @briellebiermann and I are a few miles high," the star wrote.
"I went back to work seven days after I had KJ, a couple of weeks after I had Kash, and shortly after I had twins," she said.
"I didn't really have a break. So I dream of having a baby and just six weeks off, and living in that fantasy world."
Zolciak came to fame on the Bravo series "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," and presently stars with her family on "Don't Be Tardy."

I don't know whether black and white are colors. I do believe, however, that every shade of gray contains a certain percentage of both, and that the proverbial optimist and pessimist must be unaware that the contents of a glass cannot be precisely one-half. Fine-tuning one's calibration when intra-personal discourse requires a decision on whether life is individual or social is, in my opinion, an inexact science.
I therefore read with interest Gorbachev's thoughts on the subject of history (Nov. 29): "For better or worse, there is no subjunctive mood in politics. History is made without rehearsals. It cannot be replayed. That makes it all the more important to perceive its course and its lessons."
I read them while contemplating those of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who said, "We forget everything. What we remember is not what actually happened, not history, but merely that hackneyed dotted line they have chosen to drive into our memories by incessant hammering.
"I do not know whether this is a trait common to all mankind, but it is certainly a trait of our people, and it is a vexing one. It may have its source in goodness, but it is vexing nonetheless. It makes us an easy prey for liars."

A 69 year old man Shehada Issa has been arrested and charged with the murder of his son, 29 year old Amir Issa on Tuesday. The Los Angeles County prosecutors on Friday alleged that he committed the crime because his son was gay.
The district attorney's office said Shehada had allegedly threatened to kill his son, Amir, in the past because of his sexual orientation.
An investigation into who killed Issa's wife is still ongoing.
"The murder was committed because of the victim's sexual orientation and because of the defendant's perception of that status and the victims' association with a person and a group of that status," prosecutors said in a statement.
The son's body was found outside a North Hills house while Issa's wife was found stabbed to death inside the house.
Police said Issa told them that he had come home and found his wife's body in the bathroom. He said he shot his son in self-defense because the young man was threatening him with a knife.
According to Daily News, Detective John Doerbecker said:
"He claimed the son was armed with a knife, and there was no knife to be found there. It was a horrible family tragedy."
Issa is being held without bail pending his arraignment on April 11.
An investigation into who killed Issa's wife is still ongoing.

The maximum message size quota for incoming messages exceeded exception in WCF
May 24, 2012 2 Comments
This is a common error you get when developing you are consuming WCF service operation that deals with large data.
To overcome this error you need to customize the bindings, service behavior and endpoint behavior of the service.
- Customize the binding:
First of all you need to set the maxbufferpoolsize and maxReceivedMessageSize in the binding.
MaxBufferPoolSize gets or sets the maximum size of any buffer pools used by the transport. The default is 524,288 bytes.
MaxReceivedMessageSize gets and sets the maximum message size that can be receivied. The default is 65536 bytes.
ReaderQuotas: Defines the contraints on the complexity of SOAP messages that can be processed by endpoint configured with a binding. You need to set the maxBytesPerRead, maxDepth, maxNameTableCharCount,maxStringContentLength.

I got an e-mail that there were a number of open spots to be filled by naturalists for several whalewatch trips. So I volunteered to take the afternoon trip as one of two naturalists aboard. As it turned out, we ended up with four. Sherry (the other naturalist) and I walked up and down the decks talking to the passengers about what they might see during the cruise.
It was a beautiful, sunny day and we hoped to see whales out in open waters. Instead, we got a call telling us that three whale calves were spotted in the kelp beds near Rocky Point. So we steered in that direction and soon spotted one whale on our port side. We hove-to just outside the kelp beds and watched as what turned out to be a pair of whales slowly swam in and out of the kelp.
I was so preoccupied with getting a shot of the whale that I didn't even notice until I had downloaded the photo that a harbor seal had surfaced with a fish in its mouth (the seal is the dark gray object closer to the camera than the lighter-grayish, elongated shape of the whale's rostrum).
Then the whale turned around and headed away from shore:
Only to turn around again and head back towards shore:
At this point we realized we were looking at two different whales. We were still dead in the water, engines idling, and it seemed that the whales appeared to be slowly getting closer to us. But then a motor yacht sped through the kelp beds and, I'm sure, spooked the whales.
We moved on to Point Vicente and were told of a fin whale nearby. We saw its blow several times before it dove and then reappeared north of us. In the meantime we were escorted by a small pod of common dolphin, which are always fun to photograph:
It was then time to head back. Overall I'd say it was a decent day of whale-watching.

Texans owner Bob McNair made headlines last season when he referred to the NFL as inmates running the prison. Although months have passed since he made those comments, McNair admitted he is only sorry for apologizing afterward.
The main thing I regret is apologizing, McNair said, adding, I really didn't have anything to apologize for.
McNair told the Wall Street Journal he doesn't think he was in the wrong for the remarks he made at the NFL owners meeting in October. While discussing the ongoing national anthem protests, McNair used a figure of speech for an analogy, saying, We can't have inmates running the prison.
Washington hadn't lost that many consecutive games since a seven-game rut in June 2016.
Nationals 1B Ryan Zimmerman went 0 for 4, dropping his season batting average to .097. His early production is getting a lot of scrutiny because he took only two Grapefruit League at-bats, instead opting to prepare in spring training on back fields and against minor league pitchers.
Molina's version was he said a bad word to me and I reacted that way. He called me [it] twice. You can't allow that.
I know he was frustrated with what I said, and I can't blame him, Lovullo said. I was giving him more of a compliment in saying that he's very good and didn't necessarily follow through, to execute the right way of my words to tell that that's what I was thinking.
Lovullo had not tried to reach out to Molina.
I just want everything to settle down and go away, Lovullo said. I know that it's a big story. It happened, and I can see why it's a big story, I'm not trying to downplay it, I just want the dust to settle a little bit and think through it through a really clearer lens.
Lovullo said he expects to be fined for the ejection.
I'll deal with the consequences, he said.

Talk:AS3 example Button
1 Better script -- R U Bn 19:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
I especially ccreated an account for this. Thanks to this example I had the inspiration for an even better button and I would like to give back to this community with mycode. I would like to change the code in this page with this one, but I thought I'd check for approval first. So, here it is, please vote or approve! :-)
package my {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
public dynamic class TextButton extends Sprite {
public var label:TextField = new TextField();
public function TextButton(t, pad=0.1, col=0xD4D4D4, alph=0.5) {
label.htmlText = t;
label.mouseEnabled = false;
label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
label.x = label.width*pad;
label.y = label.height*pad;
graphics.beginFill(col, alph); // grey color
graphics.drawRect(0, 0, label.width*(pad*2+1), label.height*(pad*2+1));
P.S. label.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT; --> this is needed to have a sensable width and height of the textfield (for the auto-hitarea!) R U Bn 19:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
1.1 Re: Better script -- Daniel K. Schneider 07:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, thanx for your contribution :) Your code is shorter and more like "just a button" code vs. a strange button that walks around. In order to keep Widget's exaplanations and purpose, I suggest (if you agree) that you might just add another chapter before or after hers and explain your code a bit. This way folks would have two slightly different examples with different purposes and could learn from both. It's always nice to have a general principle illustrated by two variations IMHO - Daniel K. Schneider 07:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Had lunch at Wendy's Jaya One yesterday with my colleagues.
I ordered Pack3 from the Wendy's Pack RM6.99 menu.
Service was kinda slow for a fast food restaurant.
The portion for Wendy's Pack is small. My colleagues even said it was not enough for me, which was true. The beef patties was square (Wendy's say they don't cut corners) but it was thin.
For tea it would be sufficient, but not lunch. Next time I will order the Combo meals for lunch, but it is kinda pricey compare to McD.
Wendy's cheeseburger tasted good, but I rather have Burger Kings.
I anticipation for my hunger after lunch, we headed to Cold Storage and I bought 2 pieces of pears for my tea time.
