R & R... be back after Labor Day
There is soooo much I could post about in terms of the latest soul-less GOP actions and evil escapades, but alas, I will be gone for a bit. See, the next 2 weeks are going to be crazy getting things in order for the start of BabyGirl's school on Sept 4th. And you have no idea how much it pains me to even write that sentence. MY baby will be starting school... OMG... I swear it was just yesterday that my gorgeous girl was born. So, in addition to getting things in order, I plan on spending oodles of time pretty much just having fun with my kiddos and Hubby. Let's face it: They will only be this small once, and as Sheryl Crow so wisely reminds us, "there ain't nothing like regret to remind us we're alive." I'll see ya sometime after Labor Day. God knows the Repukes will have committed plenty of sins that I will have to post about and I will have to purge my soul of the torment that I anticipate feeling when I have to... let... my... precious... girl... go... to... school. Sob! Thank the stars I have my Lil Man to tightly hold onto to get me thru this scary school thing. My God... I think need a valium and a serious plan to homeschool 'em. In the meantime, here are some pix of my beautiful babies.
I know that every parent thinks rightfully that their children are beautiful, but I can't help but look at my gorgeous girl and not wonder how lovely will she be as a young woman?... and will other people... like boys with cooties and hot pants... find her to be as stunning, too? Ugh... I need a stiff drink... and a foolproof plan to keep her safely locked away so Hubby doesn't have an aneurysm when those boys with cooties and hot pants come a callin'.
I never imagined myself having a son. Whenever I thought of my future in terms of children, I only pictured girls. Now, I can't imagine living my life without my beautiful boy. His soft fuzzy blonde hair. His bright blue eyes and oh so long lashes. His smile (with a teeney tiny nub of a tooth just beginning to painfully poke thru) simply melts my heart. Even though our lives have become more hectic since his birth, I can't help but wonder how ever did we exist as a family without him?
We're not the only ones who adore Lil Man and want to smother him in smooches and squeezes. BabyGirl is in absolute love with him, and she tells all who will listen that he is HER baby brother. Thank God. When I was pregnant, she insisted the baby could ONLY be a sister and that if it did happen to be a boy that he had to look just like Jimmy Neutron. Oh my...
Don't be sad Dubya. At least Barney is still there for you. And he, unlike Karl Rove, is honest about pissing on people's legs, crapping in their front lawn, and having putrid breath from eating shit and licking and gnawing on his balls.
So, Rove the Toad announced he will resign. Any number of reasons why he may be leaving cause many to speculate: Is his shady involvement with current convict Jack Abramoff too hot to handle? Is his "burn it all to the ground and salt the earth b/c everything is political" shtick now just sooo 2000 & 2004? Is the stench from the U.S. attorneys scandal (particularly the Alabama prosecution of the Dem governor) getting too odiferous to cover up with Febreeze and an evil GOP wink? Whatever the reason, let us now reflect upon the gut wrenchingly emotion filled words of Bush's Brain, shall we? Please be warned... a box of tissues may be needed: With his longtime companion... err... friend Prez Bush looking on, Karl Rove choked up while saying: "I'm grateful to have been a witness to history." LIKE WHEN THE BUSH CABAL OF BLOODTHIRSTY CHICKENHAWKS HAPPILY LIED OUR NATION INTO AN ILLEGAL AND COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY WAR, IGNORED OUR CONSTITUTION AND SUSPENDED HABEAS CORPUS AND SPIED ON AMERICAN CITIZENS... dabs eyes with a tissue... AAAH, YES... GOOD TIMES. GOOD TIMES. "It has been the joy and the honor of a lifetime," said Rove, his voice quivering at times. But now is the time. ... At month's end." SNIFF... SOB... YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DESPERATELY I WILL MISS HELPING TO DESTROY THIS GREAT NATION OF OUR'S FOR NOTHING BUT SHEER EVIL JOY AND POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP. NOTHING GETS MY SPLINTER HARDER THAN SMELLING UTTER DECAY IN THE MORNING. "I will join those whom you meet in your travels, the ordinary Americans who tell you they are praying for you." YES. AMERICANS WITH ANY SENSE IN THEIR HEADS WILL PRAY FOR ME TO SLITHER BACK TO THAT SHIT ENCRUSTED ROCK THAT I OOZED OUT OF. EITHER THAT, OR THEY WILL TAKE A SHOVEL, AND WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACES, BASH IN MY DEPRAVED HEAD LIKE A ROTTING JACK-O-LANTERN LEFT ON THE PORCH TIL THANKSGIVING. That was truly touching. Despite his eternal love for the Ghoulish Old Party, Rove is quitting for his family -- after helping to destroy so many American families. No wonder Laura self medicates on Lithium just to live with herself... err... sleep at night... err.. get thru the day amongst such vampires... err... such fetid fucktards... err... upstanding citizens.
Mr. Romney, perhaps 1 of your 5 sons could drive this Mitt Mobile, sir?
So, it takes a simple question from one lone brave woman in Iowa, Rachel Griffiths, to get the Big Greasy Mitt to admit that his sons are big greasy muffs who boldly serve our nation by... driving... around... the... Mitt... Mobile. Here's a clue for your 5 perfectly healthy, war cheerleading and enlistable aged sons: That military vehicle in that photo is called-- believe it not-- a MITT. Sooooo... how's about 1 of those 5 strapping boys you so proudly brag about... while simutaneously spewing out all of that pro-war vomit... really serve their nation and that war that you adore so much and drive around THAT MITT MOBILE, in say, perhaps Anbar Province instead of whitebread USA? And by the way Big Greasy, this ain't just because you spent your time for war "ministering" in Paris instead of Vietnam or that you're very rich and white. Oh no. See, another really rich and really white guy like you also supported a war that got a whole heckuva lotta troops and civilians killed. His name was Franklin D. Roosevelt. And like you, Big Greasy, FDR did not enlist or get drafted. But while not technically in the military, he did serve as Assistant Sec of the Navy from 1913 to 1920 which encompassed the US involvement in WWI, and most certainly prepared in some way him for his time as a wartime Commander and Chief during WWII. But try topping this fact, Big Greasy: All 4 of FDR's sons were officers in World War II and were decorated, on merit, for bravery. One of his sons, by the by, was a Marine Captain of a Marine Raider Battalion (this group went ashore on a Japanese held island) and put his life in so much danger that FDR did not wonder IF he would be killed, but WHEN. I wonder Big Greasy, do you also sit up at night-- gripped by white hot fear-- that 1 of your 5 sons will be killed while cavorting around in that most deadly of vehicles.......... the Winnebago?
Duggars pop out kid #17... can her uterus now be considered a carry-on bag?
Oh yes. Those crazy-ass Duggars have procreated yet again, and get this: Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.
Now, I've said my piece about this crazy-ass family before, but here's the thing: I'm 100% for reproductive freedom. And as much as I poke fun at them for treating one's vagina like a clown car... being 100% for reproductive freedom means they have the right to do so as much as I believe I also have every right to stop at 2 kids... because honest to Pete, nearly dying twice during my 2 very wanted pregnancies was enough for our marriage and family, not to mention our wallets and savings account, thankyouverymuch. But unfortunately, these "Quiverfull" Republican freaks do not reciprocate that same freedom sentiment. Their ultimate goal is not really to get rid of abortion. No no. That is just the scary- emotional- in- your-face- issue. The real goal of these Quiverfull folks is to "build an army for God" and getting rid of contraceptives completely... including for married couples... because ya know, as never been married and childless nutbags like Ann Coulter spew: Privacy rights between a man and wife is a right that liberals just made up. I don't know about you, but some outsider intervening in my marriage threatens my marriage, and NO ONE has the right to threaten the bond that I have with my husband. NO ONE. I don't care how "holier than thou" you claim to be. I not only take my love, friendship and relationship with Hubby deadly seriously, I also take our wedding vows that we spoke to each other and in front of God and others deadly seriously, too. Not to mention the fact that outsiders forcing their interventions onto a couple's marriage threatens that marriage AND that sounds mighty anti-Bible... particulary anti- marriage... to me and according to this passage: For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder" (Matthew 19:5-6). Oh that's right... actually doing what the Bible states wouldn't allow most Religious Frighters/ Republicans to cherry-pick Biblical passages to justify their own divorces, hatred of gays, women, the poor, needy, orphaned, and minorities. What was I thinking? This clearly out-of-date pix of the Duggars was used during big daddy Jim Bob's campaign as a former Repuke representative, and I guess it "endeared" him to some voter-types.... who exactly that would be is beyond me, except for maybe haters of the deadliest tool of Satan... ya know... pants for girls... which oddly enough, will probably work against the Duggars because while I'm not an expert or fashionista, I reckon the best form of birth control those girls never imagined will be those crazy ass Little House on the Prairie dresses... unless, of course, ya have a fetish for Laura Ingalls.. but that, my friends, sounds like a Dateline w/ Chris Hansen special just waiting to happen.

Mapleton's old railroad station has found a new home, without trains, in Florence
By LARRY BACON of the Register-Guard
FLORENCE – There's not a railroad track in town, but Florence now has its first railroad station. The 64-year-old Mapleton Railroad Station, which had to be removed last summer because of a highway widening project at Mapleton, has been "born again" on the Florence waterfront.
It will open soon as an antique store run by a couple of former Eugene residents who just happened to have always wanted to have a business in an old railroad station.
The story of the old station's rebirth begins with Florence contractor Mike Johnson, who has an affection for old things. When he heard that Southern Pacific Railroad was going to have to tear the old station down, he began dickering to obtain the building.
For three years he dickered. Finally, the railroad gave him the green light. But there was a hitch. He had only five days to remove the structure. Rather than carefully disassemble it, Johnson and his crew had to use chain saws to quickly carve the walls and floor of the building into moveable sections. A small office area was the only piece that could be moved intact. The whole mess was trucked to Johnson's shop yard at Florence and piled in a heap.
"I had no idea what we were going to do with the building," he said. "But I knew an opportunity would come along."
Opportunity came in the form of Ron Hogeland and Charles Bruske, who moved here two years ago from Wisconsin. Hogeland, a former college professor who got tired of academic life, operates a combination art gallery, antique and picture framing business here on Bay Street. Bruske works as a counselor at Camp Florence, a juvenile rehabilitation camp.
The two men were planning on investing in a waterfront lot to be part of a development of small shops and offices on Bay Street west of Laurel Street. They figured the old Mapleton Station would fit right in with the rest of the old buildings on Bay Street, where Florence began at the turn of the century.
The Mapleton Station building was just what they wanted. They said they once saw an antique store operating in an old railroad depot in Mt. Angel and had always dreamed about being able to have a similar store.
Hogeland and Bruske didn't have any trouble in finding a tenant for the building. Harold and Mary Mohler retired from the day-care school business in Eugene a year ago and were operating the Town and Country Antique Shop in another building on Bay Street
The Mapleton Station building was just what they wanted. They said they once saw an antique doter operating in an old railroad depot in Mt. Angel and had always dreamed about being able to have a similar store.
"And here we are," Mohler said.
It was no easy job to put together the jumble of pieces that the Mapleton Station was in when Hageland and Bruske acquired it.
"It was like a puzzle," Hogeland said. Trouble was, the pieces didn't all fit.
Hogeland said the job probably couldn't have been done without Jim Alexander, a local builder who lives on Bay Street and has developed a reputation for working wonders with old buildings.
Alexander said the pieces had laid out in the weather and many were warped. Somer were rotten. Prospects for putting them together to make a building again looked discouraging.
But with the help of an understanding building inspector and some unconventional building methods, the job was done.
Some of the panels took days to get together. "We just jacked them around until they fit," Alexander said.
Most of the rot was on the bottom of the walls. Alexander solved that problem by cutting the rot off. As a result, the building is nine inches shorter than it was before. Because of size limitations, he had to get some of the length out also. The building is now about five feet shorter than it was.
Hogeland said Alexander did his best to retain the integrity of the old building. The paint had been matched. The old doors were repaired rather than replaced. He said the Eugene Planing Mill reproduced some of the siding that was missing.
But some improvements have been made. For example, Alexander added a bay window that the original building didn't have in order to take advantage of the Siuslaw River view that was not available at the station's original location.
Hogeland thinks the "new" Mapleton Station looks better than the old one ever did.
Alexander is pleased, too. His house, a remodeled barber shop, is across the street from the Mapleton Station. He spends much of his leisure time sitting on a bench in front of his house watching the traffic on Bay Street and the river. The Mapleton Station will be a permanent part of his view.
It's got a couple of flaws, Alexander said, as he settled back on his bench and cast an appraising eye on the old building, "but it's got a nice line on it."

We Arrive In Adelaide And Visit Glenelg
Previous page - Our ride on The Ghan comes to an end
Taxis in Adelaide
As the Ghan pulled in to Adelaide's Keswick station we saw dozens upon dozens of taxis stationery, in a single line. Neither of us had ever seen so many taxis in one place before. It was explained to us that because it was Easter the taxi drivers didn't have as much work as usual so they were all waiting to get some fares from the Ghan travellers. Instead of using the luggage carriage on The Ghan we had kept our luggage with us so we were one of the first people to be off the train and into a cab. It seemed every cab driver was Indian. Our driver told us he had been in Oz. for two years.
The Mercure Grosvenor Hotel in Adelaide
We had been told to expect to pay about $10 to get into the city centre and our driver charged us $11.40 so he didn't attempt to rip us off which was nice. In no time we were at the Mercure Grosvenor Hotel.
It seems to be a huge hotel - I don't know how many rooms are here. We are on the fourth floor in a Queen sized standard room. The room is nothing special but it is quite roomy. The carpets are a bit grotty and there is no view - they are the only problems really. We have to step up in to the bathroom which we must remember if we get up in the night to use the loo. The location is tops being so central.
The tram to Glenelg
We quickly dumped our gear in our room and set off to find the tram to Glenelg. Our time is Adelaide is very limited and we have several places we want to go. As we head out through the lobby who should we see but Barbara and Tony, the vision impaired people off the train. What a small world.
The tram stop was very close to the hotel. We had so been looking forward to riding the old historic tram that we had read so much about but that didn't happen. We had a much newer version. We opted for an all-day pass which cost us $8 each. We could have got a cheaper ticket but it would have only lasted us two hours and we felt we would be in Glenelg for quite a while.
It took 20 minutes to get to Glenelg and it was a very interesting ride. We saw lots of well preserved old homes.
Sunny afternoon in Glenelg
It was after 2 p.m. so we were feeling peckish. We found a fish and chip shop and sat out in the fresh air and sunshine to eat our purchases. Cost $8.50 each.
Glenelg's wonderful outdoor area
Glenelg has the most beautiful outdoor area imaginable. Lots of huge palm trees with timber seats around them. In the square there were fountains of water that popped up from the concrete floor. The height and frequency of the shoots of water were varying so therefore it was a lovely watery playground for younger children. The weather was perfect. Who would choose to be anywhere else than here on such a day. The whole area was packed with tourists. It is a real beachy seaside suburb. The photograph of the Stamford above really doesn't do it justice.
Glenelg's historic Town Hall
We had read about the Bay Discovery Centre. It is housed in Glenelg's historic Town Hall. Here you can go on a totally free historical journey - that's providing you are not here on Easter Friday. We were and it was closed so that was a great disappointment. Better luck next time. Instead we ambled around looking at all the family-centred attractions instead. There were camel and donkey rides, two big water slide areas, a Ferris wheel, old fashioned merry go round and many more activities. What a wonderful place to bring children too. We wished our Bunbury had something like this.
We just wandered around looking at all the old buildings in the back streets. So many old buildings here in Adelaide have been retained. It really is a credit to the heritage of this city. In Bunbury, where we come from, there are not many older buildings left. Its such a shame.
Glenelg was lovely - all nice and clean. No silly behaviour and no alcohol allowed in the main Square area near the beach. A lot of families having a ball in the Easter sunshine.
Late in the afternoon we took the tram back to the CBD. Again we got one of the newer trams. We like the pictures on the sides of the newer trams. The pictures cover the windows but you can still see out from the inside.
The Rundle Mall Bronze Pigs
Got back to the Mercure Grosvenor Hotel and put the kettle on for a much needed cuppa. We managed to eat a couple of the Easter Eggs we had been given on The Ghan at that point. A quick recovery and we were back on the streets for a wander around. We didn't go very far but still managed to get lost. Really we were looking for the Adelaide Central Markets which we had read about. We had hoped they would be open during the two days we were in the city but, of course, because it was Easter, they were closed. We came across some pigs cast in bronze in the Rundle Street Mall. They were brilliant so of course they all had to get photographed. Here are a couple of shots:
Subway in Adelaide
Because we had a late fish and chips lunch we weren't really all that hungry come dinner time. Both of us love subway so we found a shop and decided to have a foot long roll between us. We were the only customers in the shop the whole time. We asked for minimal red onion and minimal olives plus sweet chilli sauce. The girl serving us either didn't hear our request or maybe she doesn't understand the word "minimal". I've never seen so much onion or olives in one roll. Plus the roll was flooded with sauce.
Our mouths were burning and our lips were stinging. That's the only time we've ever had a lousy Subway roll. Perhaps previous customers have been disappointed with their rolls and that's why the shop was so empty the whole time we were there. They all knew what to expect.
Back at the hotel we found our timetable for Hahndorf and we are going to head there tomorrow. We had our well needed showers and attempted to watch Rebus on TV, with a cup of tea in hand of course! The TV was in quite a bad position in the room and we couldn't move it so by the time the show finished we had sore necks.

I prefer to have a coffee or a drink at a table and not at a bar so you can look at each others' eyes and focus, or meet to walk in a park so can walk and talk.
How about we go have coffee at a cafe nearby
Just a simple walk and simple talk.
I love reading everyone's fantasy first dates. But for me it's a coffee or drink. Find out if we like each other first! Then look forward to the next one...
Dinner, then go see the film "Daddy's home
Meet and greet; if it goes well decide from there.
Lattes at a nice cafe would be my preference.
coffee and interesting deep convo
Perhaps somewhere we both haven't been before. I like trying new things
Someplace where we can chat and get to know each other, enjoy coffee or anything really. :)
I would like to meet you first in a public place, maybe a coffee shop or a restaurant. Let's talk! I want to know you better.
I would always like to meet in a safe place for the lady, typically I would propose a busy Coffee shop.

In Hyderabad, India, Tinda is called as 'Dil pasand'. It is really very popular in Indian and Pakistani cooking. You can cook it in a number of ways. It tastes great with hot parathas (pan-fried Indian flatbread). Team it with a dal of your choice and you've got a terrific vegetarian meal.
- 1 pound green tinda
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- Pinch of asafetida
- 1 dry whole red chili
- Salt to taste
- ½ tsp red chili flakes
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp amchur powder (dry mango powder) or 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 green chili finely chopped
- ½ tsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- If using Fresh Tinda then scrape it with a peeler and cut into wedges. If using canned Tinda then wash it properly, and cut into wedges.
- Heat the oil in a pan and add asafetida, chili flakes and cumin seeds.
- When the seeds begin to splutter add Tinda wedges and fry for a minute. Add salt, chili powder, turmeric powder, and stir to mix well.
- Add chopped green chilies and cook covered on low heat till vegetable is cooked. Mix in amchur powder and garam masala; and fry it for one minute. Fresh Tinda usually is cooked in its own juice, it does not require additional water to get cooked but if you feel that vegetable is sticking to the pan, you may sprinkle little water.
- Remove and garnish with coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with paratha and dal of your choice.

At the end of last month is was a friends birthday. For her birthday we all went on a ghost walk, which logically meant I had an excuse to put ghosts on my nails in July.
The walk itself was ok. It wasn't really scary, and I didn't see a single ghost. Now I have gone on ghost walks in the past that have scared me to death(but not really because I would be a ghost!) But I did like this because I did learn quite a bit. Yes you heard me I had fun learning about stuff. I can't say I believe in ghosts at this point, but I can't say I don't believe in them.
To get this simple look I painted 3 of my nails either purple(Orly Charged Up) or orange (Nicka K Vibrant Orange) and topped it with a nail polish classic Ninja Polish Sticks n' Stones. My accent nails I pained them with black polish and then added the ghosts using white acrylic paint. The only thing I was sort of sad about was the fact the the Seche shrunk my tips *shakes fist*.
What do you think of these? And more importantly, do you believe in ghosts?

This painting of a fox mousing in the snow is currently on show in my gallery in Thixendale, North Yorkshire.
I spotted this fox as I was driving home late one evening. Dusk was just settling over the snowy landscape when I saw something moving by a straw stack. I stopped my car just in time to see a fox slinking round the back of the stack out of sight. It reappeared a hundred yards away, heading towards a long straight drainage channel on the edge of a field; almost the size of a small canal. I was all fingers and thumbs getting my camera out.
Meanwhile the fox passed through a hedge and re-appeared on the bank of the channel. It turned and looked at me in a nonchalant manner before continuing down the bank. Here it cocked its leg to mark out its territory. Suddenly it froze, head pointing downwards and ears up. I guessed it was 'mousing' or more likely had heard a vole moving under the snow.
It repositioned its legs, ready to pounce, and pinpointed the position of its prey before it sprang high up into the air and dove into the snow, front feet first. Its nose was buried deep in the snow while its thick brush tail wagged from side to side as it hunted. Then the fox lifted its head back out of the snow, and shook it. Bits of reed fell from its mouth – it had missed.
It continued onwards and I followed it on foot as it set out on this night of mischief. I used the hedge as cover to get closer.Wild country foxes are tricky subjects to approach but there is no harm in trying. By the time I caught up with the wily creature it was watching a flock of starlings nosily bathing and drinking under a bridge where the water hadn't frozen.
Stealthfully, the fox crossed the bridge, but the birds were far too wise and fast for him. They flew into a nearby willow tree and settled down to roost. The fox continued on the opposite side of the channel. I ducked back through the hedge to keep out of sight as I followed. After 100 yards I crept back through and found him on point, looking at the ground again.
This time he was after a mole. The dark soil of the freshly dug mole hill stood out against the whiteness of the snow. A twig snapped beneath my foot and I froze as the fox looked my way. Luckily some movement underground refocused its attention. He paused, repositioned his feet and cocked his head to one side.
By this time it was too dark to take photographs, but I was enjoying watching. After a tense few minutes, the fox sniffed the molehill, raked over it with its front paw and then, realising that the mole must have escaped, cocked its leg peevishly on the molehill. It was as if it was saying: 'If I can't eat you I'll leave you with this smell instead'.
As the fox trotted off, I decided to try to keep up. But as I stepped forward my foot cracked noisily on an ice puddle hidden under the snow. The next footstep made the same sound and I was afraid I had scared off the fox. Sure enough as I reappeared out of the hedge, it had vanished. I could see hundreds of yards in each direction but it had outwitted me.
A silhouette in the distance caught my eye and I checked it out with my binoculars. It was a roe deer browsing. I was out in the open now and the deer was quick to spot me and quickly pronked into some cover. I turned to head back and crossed the bridge retracing the fox's movements. I soon picked up its fresh tracks and as I approached the molehill I caught its unmistakably pungent smell.
I crossed the bridge where the starlings had gone to roost. They were silhouetted against the sky, which was now lit up with stars. It was well below freezing and the snow was developing a crust. Imprinted into it with perfect precision was the shape left by the fox's head where it had pounced for a vole.

Andy Hoch was born in the small Bavarian village of Wurm in Apfel in September 1914. From an early age, he stood out from the crowd with his blue hair and blond eyes and also for his prowess from the penalty spot and it was no surprise when he was snapped up at an early age by Bayern Lederhosen, for whom he played two full seasons (autumn and summer)
It may surprise some of today's supporters that in the mid-thirties Shels were one of the top sides in Europe with a scouting network second only to Baden Powell and Hoch signed for the Ringsend club in July 1937 for £30 and a box of Messerschmidt parts.
Instead of travelling overland, as was the custom in those days, Hoch arrived in Tolka Park by air, leaping out of a Stuka at 12,000 feet and landing in the centre circle to the tumultuous applause of the groundsman, who was none too pleased however when the new signing proceeded to bury his parachute near the corner flag.
He went straight into the first team and made his debut against Cork Incontinentals on the first day of the 1937. The Irish Times noted that "the tigerish Teutonic tackler made an immediate impression on the Shelbourne faithful, not least for his tendency to slap the opposing full back around the face with a pair of leather gloves every time he felt the situation warranted it."
As part of his contract, Hoch became the club's official penalty taker, a position that he took very seriously. Legend has it that after training, he would stuff the penalty spot under his arm and go down to Sandymount Green for a few hours extra practice. The Guinness Book of World Records in fact mentions the fact that in twenty years he never missed a single penalty, although there is still debate in some quarters about the legendary Foggy Day incident against Athletico Cork in October 1938.
Sadly, his disciplinary record was not always the best but this may have been down to cultural misunderstandings rather than an attitude problem. Whenever he was being cautioned by the match official, he had a tendency to click his heels together, give a straight arm salute and scream out "Jawohl mein Kapitan!" Such immediate and uncompromising obedience immediately raised the suspicions of many referees who frequently invoked Rule 42 – "Thou shalt not be sarky with the ref" – to dismiss the bewildered player.
Known for his legendary German humour in the dressing room – he once arrested fullback Jason Shadows' wife and sent her and her children to the ghettos of Prague – he used to help raise morale at half-time by doing little ventiloquist stunts involving a pillowcase and a pair of fake eyes. Invariably the Shels team took the field in the second half with a steely look of determination in its eyes.
Andy Hoch looked set to be a Shelbourne player for many years but he had a falling out with the manager at the time Ernest Hilter in September 1939 as storm clouds were breaking over Europe. Hilter wanted Hoch to attack down both flanks at the same time and Hoch protested that this would leave the defence exposed to the counter-attack. When Hilter flew into a rage and threatened to have the German shot, the writing was on the bunker wall and Hoch was smuggled back into Germany as an Allied food parcel.
Although he disappears from the annals of Shelbourne FC at this point, his subsequent involvement in the German war effort is well documented in his autobiography "Three and in with Der Fuhrer." Seemingly Hoch's penalty spot prowess caught the eye of the German chancellor and he was a frequent visitor to Berchtesgarten where he entertained members of the High Command by constantly scoring against a hapless Martin Bormann, much to Hitler's amusement.
However, a subsequent exhibition during which Eva Braun tipped a weakly struck penalty around the post resulted in Hoch being transferred to the Russian front, though with a sizable signing on fee. Here he soon realised he had made a big mistake and only escaped with his life by the skin of his teeth by agreeing to manage the Tonga national team.
At his funeral (1968-70), German legend Franz Beckenbauer paid him the ultimate tribute.
"Andy who?"

Techcrunch reported last week that Yahoo might be working with Robin Labs on a Yahoo-version of the white label Robin Labs intelligent assistant. According to the story, the Siri-like virtual assistant was supposed to stay under wraps for a while, but the story surfaced after a video with the Yahoo-branded app was leaked.
Robin Labs has developed a technology platform that incorporates speech recognition, natural language processing, and task-based building blocks that it refers to as task agents. I looked through the Robin Labs website to see if I could detect whether they use a third party solution for speech recognition and NLP, but I didn't see any references in that regard. That leads me to surmise that Robin Labs has its own proprietary NLP technology, but I could be wrong.
The task agent platform is called Robin.AI and consists of granular components of functionality such as messaging capability, note taking, calendar administration, traffic and weather. Non-programmers can apparently build their own custom intelligent virtual assistants by starting with the core Robin.AI platform and then plugging in task agents to configure the kind of intelligent assistant they need. If a pizza delivery shop wants to create their own virtual agent, for example, they can assemble the traffic and messaging app to send alerts to drivers in case of traffic back-ups. That's a simple example, but it illustrates the intended flexibility of the building block platform.
Another aspect of Robin.AI is that the platform tracks user data, including user preferences, so that it can learn to infer user intent. For example, an intelligent assistant based on Robin.AI can make note of the fact that you like music by the rock band Boston and that you are currently in the car listening to your iPod. So if you say "I feel like Boston," the assistant has enough information to extrapolate that you want to hear a Boston tune (and not get driving directions to Boston, for example).
It remains to be seen if Yahoo really is building an intelligent assistant app based on the Robin.AI platform. It wouldn't be an unexpected move, since the prevalence and importance of virtual agent technologies is undoubtedly on the upswing.

101 Things That Change When You Upgrade Your Wardrobe & Improve Your Style
Often I meet men who tell me that they are comfortable in the clothes they wear, even though they admit that they don't look good in them. Most of them don't see the benefit in dressing up and so they just wear cargo pants, flip flops, and T-shirts.
Most men don't realize that they could probably earn more money, attract more attention from potential partners, and be taken more seriously if they dressed well. Of course, dressing is a process and it takes some time, but at the end of the day, it is always worth it. When I was growing up, my personal style was not developed at all — my parents didn't care too much about clothing — and so I just wore whatever I had without any concern for style. At the age of 14 and 15 I started to develop an interest in style, but it wasn't an overnight success. Especially in the beginning, I had to try out some things before I found the style I really liked. Over the years, I have noticed a number of changes that happened after I began dressing well and improved my style. In this article, I would like to highlight 101 things that will likely change for you if you dress better.
Before we start though, I want to share a "before" photo when I dressed poorly and an "after" that represents my style now. It's a world of a difference — but what I want to show you is that any man can make the decision to dress better. Will you master the art of clothing in a few days, weeks or months? Unlikely — but you will continuously improve and after a while you'll feel uncomfortable look at "before" pictures of yourself because you have come such a long way.
Before, I was wearing short sleeved shirts in black with designer pockets, white pants and square-toed shoes, a leather jacket with gaping collar and a horrible printed silk tie along with with a cheap straw hats and equally cheap belts.
A few years later, I wore a stroller suit that fit me well and even a white tie ensemble. I know you can change your style too, and I am sure many good things will happen to you because of it.
101 Things That Change When You Upgrade Your Wardrobe & Improve Your Style
1. Coworkers ask you more questions and take you more seriously
2. When you walk on the street, men will observe you
3. Wherever you are, women notice you
4. People on the street ask you for directions because you look trustworthy
5. You will have no problem test driving a Porsche or Maserati

text: By: Baystreet Staff - Tuesday February 13,2018 5 Companies Riding The Blockchain Wave Blockchain can eventually affect every industry in the world--and make no mistake about it. Even if hyper-volatile cryptocurrencies are dipping and diving, the overall gains for many are thousand percentage points, and new multi-millionaires are being minted left and right. Blockchain is its backbone—but it's so much more than cryptocurrency. It is a technology that will up-end every single industry on the planet. And sometimes all it takes to revive a dead dinosaur of a company right now is a whisper of blockchain involvement. - Overstock has seen share prices jump over 300 percent in 12 months on a strategy shift to blockchain - Kodak shares tripled in a day on the announcement of KodakCoin, and few of us even realized Kodak was still around - MoneyGram bust through the gates by announcing a partnership with Ripple cryptocurrency to ease transactions. It's real. We are moving toward a cashless society. But the reality check gets even more exciting when we realize that if we think beyond the box of cryptocurrency, blockchain is reinventing the way we do EVERYTHING. From shipping and finance, to food packaging, gaming and healthcare. Absolutely everything. But the sheer size of the potential here poses an equally sizable problem for investors: How to get in on it without losing your shirt? It's a complex and highly dynamic revolution and FOMO (fear of missing out) is at epidemic proportions. Here are 5 stocks that could make it easy for investors to test the stormy blockchain sea: #1 Overstock (NYSE:OSTK) Overstock has been the undeniable blockchain business leader, and its stock has been climbing all year, with few setbacks. There's constant news flow here, and it's being helped along by Overstock's fintech subsidiary, tZero, which just announced the purchase of a 24 percent stake in StockCross Financial Services, Inc. tZero is on the prowl to aggregate all components of its trading, clearing and settlement platform. It's looking to buy, build or partner, so the news flow is brilliant. It's a definite blockchain bull, but it's been completely reasonable and rational. That's what makes it one of the safest bets on blockchain. It's investing in companies on the cutting edge of development in the blockchain space, and its stock price shows that it's not scaring anyone away. At this point, while everyone has always thought of Overstock as just an internet merchant, it's time to start viewing this as a blockchain business. They've got their own cryptocurrency exchange, and the stock has gained 316 percent in the past 12 months. This is a strategy shift like no other. Some 80 percent of its revenue is estimated to come from the blockchain now. #2 Global Blockchain Technologies (CSE: BLOC; OTC: BLKCF) How about this for a small, $64-million market cap company sitting on an ethereal goldmine? Anyone who missed the first crypto boat and is dying to get in on the most exciting market sector of our time is now wondering how, and this is easiest way: BLOC is a publicly traded blockchain "hedge fund" and "incubator" that you can get in on through your online brokerage account. Even better: The company is a blockchain mastermind. It's the brainchild of the same man who co-created Ethereum, Steven Nerayoff. Ethereum has gained over 357,000 percent since its launch, with Nerayoff as its advisor. He was also a senior advisor to the Lisk Cryptocurrency project which now has a market cap of over 3 billion dollars. Not only are they investing in crypto projects (as one expects a hedge fund to)... But they are also incubating hand picked blockchain companies. The best part... You don't need to know anything about Bitcoin... blockchain... or have your own crypto investing system... Because you can add Global Blockchain to your portfolio with just a few clicks, and let the only publicly traded crypto investment team do the work for you. Global Blockchain has put together a core team that aims to be "incubating" 6-12 new digital currencies every year. This means that Global Blockchain will be providing the funding for these new currencies in return for an equity stake. BLOC's strategy is multi-pronged and aside from giving us an easy way to get in on the biggest market ever, this is its key attraction. It gives you exposure not only to the top trading tokens, but also early-in, exclusive access to the tokens that are expected to trade in the future. It covers large-cap, small-cap and pre-ICO/ICO tokens all at the same time. Average gains of top tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple (among others) is mind-blowing. And beyond this, there is huge potential for growth. So far this year, some small-caps have been outpacing large-cap gains: (Source: Coindesk.com)(NOTE: "Price Today" in chart above refers to an article from Coindesk.com dated January 4, 2018, after market close). These are the precisely the types of tokens Global Blockchain is targeting, but exposure gets even better through BLOC's access to pre-ICO (initial coin offering) and ICO tokens. ICOs are sort of the "wild west" of the cryptocurrency world. There's not much transparency or regulation, so many of them are illegal scams. Those that aren't stand to be huge returners, and Global Blockchain has the experience to know the difference. After all, they are ICO masters with Ethereum and others to back them up. There's still more: BLOC is also building a portfolio of startups focused on blockchain-based services. That means acquiring … and tokenizing software that could further benefit blockchain. It even invested in Kodak One, and the price of Kodak jumped a whopping 321 percent after it announced a crypto-currency deal. The Kodak ICO is expected at the end of this month and with BLOC's huge stake this is definitely one to watch. And then there's their partnership with Overstock.com (NASDAQ:OSTK) and its tZero subsidiary. Blockchain—and its rewards—are only limited by the imagination, and BLOC has plenty of imagination. We expect news to flow by hard and fast as they add new, exclusive projects. #3 Nvidia (NYSE:NVDA) Didn't think NVDA was a blockchain company? Well, it's not … and it is. When you pick it apart, it's one of the backbones: NVDA makes semiconductors to power cryptocurrency mining. NVDA is a major climber this year, and a long-time favorite when we talk about anything from artificial intelligence to blockchain. When stock prices go on a run for too long, the knee-jerk reaction can be a pullback out of fear that it's just too much of a good thing. We think this is a mistake when it comes to NVDA. This company is involved heavily in everything from autonomous vehicles, graphic processing, central processing units, computer gaming and blockchain … It's cornering tech on every level, and we think it's only at the beginning of its run. #5 International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) IBM stock isn't doing great right now, despite a solid earnings call on 18 January. Stock is down around 4 percent over the past week. IBM reported Q4 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $5.18 on revenues of $22.54 billion. This is up from the same period a year ago, which recorded EPS of $5.01 on revenues of $21.77 billion. Figures were also up for the full year and slightly exceeded analyst estimates. So, IBM strengthened its position as the leading enterprise cloud provider and established itself as a blockchain leader for business. Still, stocks are down. Why? Because no one is yet convinced about the blockchain move, and this is a mistake. What they don't like are IBM's declining business signings and declining backlog, so they don't see the profit margins improving. But they're stuck in the past when they should be focusing on the future, and the future is blockchain. Right now, is a great time to buy IBM in our opinion. Buy on the dip, hold for the long term and ride the blockchain. What we're looking at is IBM's deal with shipping giant Maersk to form a new company to commercialize blockchain technology. IBM would hold 49 percent in this venture, which still doesn't have a name. It would help shippers, ports, customs offices, banks and other global supply chain stakeholders track freight and turn paperwork into digital records. This is huge, and no one's caught on yet. But that's just scratching the surface. IBM is also working on a food safety blockchain with Walmart and a Chinese e-commerce company called JD.com. What will blockchain do to the food industry? Well, according to testing so far, it reduced the time to trace a package of rotten mangoes from the source farm to the store to 2 seconds (compared to the usual week). #5 Blockchain ETFs Another safer way to get in on blockchain is through three ETFS that seek out real ties to blockchain. What we like about this is the flexibility because they can couple small blockchain companies with something like IBM, which Wall Street would relegate only to IT, not blockchain. This gives us a wide diversity for getting in on blockchain, and something that might not have startling returns, but is safer for the cautious investor. - Innovation Shares NextGen Protocol ETF (NYSE:KOIN) picks stocks using a quant model, tracking companies and putting them in a proprietary index (Blockchain Innovators Index). Most companies are U.S. based, but Chinese companies feature as well (11 percent). They hold Visa and Mastercard in the Top 10 because they've started blockchain payments. It just started trading on the NYSE. - Reality Shares Nasdaq NextGen Economy (BLCN) ETF owns companies like HIVE Blockchain Technologies, Japanese SBI investment bank, IBM and Overstock. - Amplify (NYSE: Arca BLOK) launched in the third week of January, and its top holdings are Citigroup, Overstock, IBM, Square and Nvidia. Honorable Mentions: Mogo Finance Technology Inc. (TSX:MOGO): This is a new spin on unsecured credit, which is a burgeoning sub-segment of FinTech. Mogo's software analyzes borrowers instantly and greatly reduces the traditionally cumbersome underwriting process for loans. It's online only, so there's very low overhead and a ton of cash to spend on marketing. Power Financial Corp (TSX:PWF): We like PWF because it owns 60 percent of Wealthsimple, a leading robo-advisor for investing in ETF portfolios. D+H: D+H is a leading Canadian FinTech provider with global payments, lending and financial solutions targeting some 8,000 banks, speciality lenders, credit unions, governments and corporations. BCE Inc. (TSX: BCE) is a Canadian telco giant. Founded in 1980, the company, formally The Bell Telephone Company of Canada is composed of three primary subsidiaries. Bell Wireless, Bell Wireline and Bell Media, however throughout its push into the position of one of Canada's top telco groups, it has bought and sold a number of different firms. BCE Inc has resisted takeover attempts and shown significant resilience throughout the years. The company has been so successful, that it is now a household name. It's paying a quarterly dividend of $0.72 per share right now. It's had some great results, even if net income has declined a bit in the most recent quarter. It's still blowing other telcos out of the water. Peeks Social (TSXV:PEEK) is a Canadian company which is primarily focused on the development of social media and social commerce products. The Peeks Social app has reached over 30 million people and is growing quickly. As one of the 15th highest grossing social apps on Google platform, Peeks is adding value for both its customer and its investors. Through strong leadership and a forward-thinking management team, the company has made waves in Canada's mobile world. The company's CEO, Mark Itwaru, worked with AT&T Canada for years as an engineer and designer before beginning his work with Peeks. Peeks Social is set to continue its rise in Canada's mobile application world, and as it continues to grow, investors are sure to profit. **IMPORTANT!
