Ben Ngoc Son (Ngoc Son Temple) with the beautiful Huc Bridge (Sunbeam Bridge) stands majestically on Hoan Kiem Lake.
Backpacking in northern part of Vietnam – Hanoi, Halong Bay and Sapa.
Ly Thai To Statue
Mail a Postcard at Post Office
We walked through International Post Center at 6 Dinh Tien Hoang, just beside Hoan Kiem Lake. I decided to mail a postcard back to Singapore to myself. There were postcards on sold in post office, however, only when I was about to leave only got people to man the counter. So I bought a stack of 10 postcards for VND 25,000 (Expensive!) from street sellers that roamed around looking for ‘prey’.
The Tortoise Tower at Noon
We walked around Hoan Kiem Lake to passed through the French Quarter. However we didn’t venture afar as the weather was very hot and humid. Anyway, again The Tortoise Tower (Thap Rua) wouldn’t be missed at Hoan Kiem Lake.
St. Joseph Cathedral
It was our last day in Hanoi and Vietnam, so we went to some places that we hadn’t been to yet and did some last minute shopping. Our first stop was French-built St. Joseph Cathedral, which is located two blocks west from Hoam Kiem Lake, where Ly Quoc Su becomes Nha Chung.
Thap Rua (The Tortoise Tower) at Night
We saw The Tortoise Tower (Thap Rua) in the early morning, how could we missed it at night?
Sinh To Hoa Qua Tuoi
We went back to the Pho To Tich street to eat fruit shake again. This time we chose a stall that sell Sinh To Hoa Qua Tuoi for slightly cheaper price, VND 6,000. There was a slight different in ingredients for the fruit shake, but it was as delicious!
Shopping at Old Quarter Hanoi
Old Quarter is located at Hoan Kiem district, and known as Pho Co in Vietnamese. Enclosed by Ha Noi Citadel, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Red River, the Old quarter is also famously known as the 36 Pho Puong (36 streets), and its history spans 2000 years. In the 13th century, 36 guilds established themselves here with each taking a different street. Street names reflect the type of merchandise being made/sold. Nowadays, some of the streets have taken up new commodities, but still cluster together along a single street – Hang Can (once scales, now stationary), Hang Dau (once oil, now shoes), Hang Buom (once sailcloth, nowconfectioneryy and wine) and Thuoc Bac (once medicine, now tools), for example. While some still retain the names as of the original trades â€“ Hang Ma (Votive Paper Decorations Street), Hang Gai (Silk Street), Hang Thiec (Tin Street), and Hang Dong (Bronze Street).
Different Dinners – Cha Ca and Bun Bo
I initially agreed with Adeline to have dinner at Cha Ca La Vong, at Pho Cha Ca, which is very famous. But after saw the price of VND 70,000, I felt it’s too much expensive and decided to give it a miss, and located other cha ca shop instead.
Xich Lo (Cyclo)
Due to the very hot weather, we decided not to walk back to our hotel. So we decided to take either a taxi, motorcycle (xe may or xe om) or xich lo (3-wheeled pedicab or trishaw) to go back. After leaving Four Pillars of Temple of Literature, a xich lo driver was approaching us. We bargained from VND 50,000 to VND 20,000. It was very interesting and exciting to see how xich lo managed to find a winding route among so many traffic on the road.

Since moving to a house with a basement three years ago, I have been experimenting with hanging whole tomato vines before the frost to ripen indoors. I’ve tried this technique in varying conditions: in a cold, dark basement; in the darker corners of an unheated porch; right up in the windows of the same south-facing unheated porch. I’ve tried it with whole plants: vine, leaves, roots and all, and I’ve tried hanging clusters only. I’ve also tried it with a range of varieties: from those that are considered long-keepers, to large beefsteak types, and tiny currants and cherries. All possible variations that I can think of have been covered.
This is the time of year when I typically roll out a few photographs that brag of my annual tomato harvest. I have started taking photos, but I have to say that the strange weather this season has not been good for my tomato harvest. I planted seedlings out before I left on our desert road trip and when I returned 10 days later they had not grown an inch. By July some plants had hardly grown at all and it was clear that they would never reach maturity, even if the season picked up.
First things first: I don’t have tomato hornworms (Manduca quinquemaculata) in my own garden. What you see above is a photo that I took a few weekends ago of a Tobacco Hornworm (Manduca sexta) fatting itself up on my tomatoes. The caterpillars of these two distinct species of moth look very much alike and are easily confused. For reference, the tomato hornworm has v-shaped markings down its sides and a dark black/brown “horn” protruding out the back, while the tobacco hornworm [seen above] has diagonal strikes down its sides and a bright red “horn.”
Despite this distinction I decided to post under the name tomato hornworm because it is the most commonly known of the two.
Earlier in the week, Toronto was flooded for the second time this season. We needed the rain, just not that much all at once!
My garden is a mess. Vines that weren’t properly secured are flopped over. Everything is soaked, soggy, and drooped. Even the mulch had shifted so much that it had left a wave pattern. Davin helped last night by raking the mulch back into position and cutting out excess squash leaves to create better airflow. I’m very allergic to prickly cucurbit leaves and can only work among the dense late-summer foliage if I am wearing long sleeves and gloves.
Last night we enjoyed dinner at The Black Skirt, a Sicilian/Calabrian Italian restaurant here in Toronto. Before the meal, we were served slices of Italian loaf, as is the custom in most Italian restaurants. But where most restaurants tend to provide a plate of good quality olive oil for dipping, The Black Skirt offered something a little unusual, an oily and aromatic, bruschetta-meets-pesto sauce called ammoghiu.

After you pack up the kids and the dog again and pull out from the lunar way station, it's a long way to the beach. But it might be worth it - a satellite in orbit around the planet Mars found fresh evidence of liquid water, in the form of deposits along a gully that weren't there a few years earlier. Scientists speculate that there may be underground water in a slushy if not a sparkling spring-like form, and that from time to time it may burst into the open.
This discovery, reported last week in the journal Science, immediately got some people thinking about the possibility of life on the Red Planet - probably something bacterial or algal (and certainly slimy).
But, scientists that they are, they're not seeing the big picture. You know who is. You can already sense the antennae tingling on the heads of thousands of Earthbound real estate developers. Waterfront property! Everybody's going to want it once they get there, and somebody's got to sell it.
It's going to require a few amenities to help it move, though. Some non-native palms - absolutely. A boardwalk - maybe; it's a taste and class thing. Groins and jetties and causeways to channel the water and make it fun, courtesy of the Army Corps of Engineers - a must. Draining the places with the slimy stuff to make room for taffy shops and T-shirt customizers and taco shops - now we're cookin'. A nature preserve - sure, within bounds.
On the theory that a Martian can't be much more intelligent, or much more capable, than a horseshoe crab, it would seem there's no downside to this. Of course, it's cold out there, but if we can perfect global warming on one planet, why not on another? The pressure's a problem, too; every time that water gets to the surface, it boils off, even though it's not hot. But, then again, who knows pressure better than a real estate developer?
The big question, we suppose, is whether there's actually enough water on Mars to handle the lawn irrigation and septic demands of a really successful resort colony. That could be the stumper. What about Jupiter?

The Tilston School,built in the late 1960s. In front of it is a memorial and model to the first schoolhouse. This building, however, has been turned into a kind of town dump. The classrooms are filled with mattresses and discarded tires and trash.
It is unclear whether this area was for coal dumping or ore dumping, though the huge dents in the steel plating suggests the latter.
Workers would undoubtedly prefer to use the belt manlift on the right.
A typical dwelling in San Luis. I could not tell if it was occupied, but most of the town is abandoned.
Looking at the rear of the mill, through dead vines and barbed wire.
The cupola–the space above the silos–is surprisingly original. The building was too unstable for anyone to scrap it out. Seriously, the floor is a deathtrap.
The bottom of the elevator in the new foundry.
Dead cars were parked permanently near the model farm. Perhaps it had an automotive program. After all, before they were ‘Indian Residential Schools’ they were ‘Indian Industrial Schools’.
Looking up the hill from the rooftop of the Temple Opera Block. The downtown casino (left) looks far closer to its original use as a Sears Roebuck department store than it does today. Behind it is the blighted Carter Hotel, one of many abandoned buildings near the former Orpheum.

When the game starts, the team whose player successfully tips the ball back to their team is given custody of it. While in possession, a team has 24 seconds to goal or make contact with the basket (known as the shot clock).
The attacking team has 24 seconds to shoot and score if they miss and grab the offensive rebound. After scoring a goal, the opposing side receives the ball and can dribble it back the other way for a chance at a fast break.
The 48-minute game has four quarters, each lasting 12 minutes. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

I just finished reading Mother Teresa’s letters in a book called, ‘Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light’ I am spiritual (but not religious) and when I think of a handful of people who spread a global message of love, Mother Teresa is one of them. With few financial resources or education of her own Mother Teresa made huge improvements in the world. Her light continues to shine on us even after her death, inspiring us by her example. She started off a nun with a calling, all on her own. In the beginning, she had 13 members on her mission in Calcutta and this grew to 4,000 nuns and 610 missions in over 123 countries. For 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned and dying. So it was interesting to me to learn a bit about how she accomplished all this and how that journey was for her.
As the ‘NY Love Examiner’ there’s no one better to examine as a ‘giver of love’ than her. You may think, ‘Well how can I compare myself to Mother Teresa when my dreams are so small by comparison?’ I often hear people wish that they could write a book, form a school, found a charity, sing in public etc. but their reasons not to try include a lack of education, feelings of self-doubt, alienation, lack of money and support, doubt of their personal talent etc. and all these ideas seem to stop them before they even begin! We all have many obstacles to creation and there may be many uncomfortable sacrifices to be made with mixed successes along the way, but does that mean that we should not try? And, what are some tips we could learn from luminaries who have paved the way?
I took away 12 tips from what I read of Mother Teresa’s experience and I wondered whether they might be applicable to those of us with much smaller dreams. You decide:
1. PERSISTENCE THROUGH MUCH REJECTION: After her calling, Mother Teresa wanted to start her mission right away but she was met with much waiting and questioning. Even though she was determined to start immediately she chose to continuously write letters to key people in the church until they finally agreed to her mission. Sometimes she knew she was annoying them by her persistence. They even repeatedly told her to pray and to let them consider it for awhile but she continued to write to them nonetheless. She was willing to keep taking action in the face of rejection and disapproval.
2. BLIND FAITH EVEN THROUGH LONG PERIODS OF DARKNESS: In the beginning Mother Teresa heard the voice of Jesus and felt close to him but her writings reveal that in many later periods of suffering, she did not. She knew what her mission was so she continued to do it even when her faith or feelings seemed to falter. She believed that if she kept on doing what she committed to do, her purpose would be served.
3. HIGHER PURPOSE: Mother Teresa felt that her global mission was to help the unwanted, suffering and poor to feel a sense of love and belonging. Anything that did not reflect that purpose was not of interest to her. She had a laser like focus and her myriad of activities and travel were all parts of that particular focus.
4. SUPPORT: Although Mother Teresa seemed to keep a lot of her suffering quiet, she prayed daily to Jesus and found comfort in writing regular correspondence to a few spiritual colleagues. She confessed her doubts to them and asked them to pray for her. This was an outlet that she had when she felt very alone in her mission. It can be important to have a few people or a team of people to advise you and listen to you when you falter.
5. A CLEAR MISSION: Mother Teresa could simply define her mission statement from the start. She knew who she was and what she would do in light of it and she steadfastly embraced opportunities to make it happen throughout a 45 year period.
6. ACT ON COMMITTMENT NOT FEELINGS: Mother Teresa reveals long periods of aloneness, despair and darkness. During these times she acknowledges her feelings of despair but she continues to act in accordance with her mission and plan, regardless of her internal emotional state, external results or community commentary.
7. CONCENTRATE ON OTHERS NOT ON ONESELF: Mother Teresa often separated herself from the work that she did. Since she was religious, she acted for Jesus and gave him all the credit for everything that happened. This kept her modest and she often referred to herself as ‘a little bird.’ If she did speeches, it was because it would glorify his name or his cause. Personally she often professed that staying in India and doing her simple work there as a nun was her preference. Also, her focus was on helping the poor and unwanted feel loved. She did not think much of her own needs, status or comfort. This selflessness helped her stay focused on constant achievement and helped her not be swayed by pride, greed, fame or her personal desires.
8. FINDING MEANING IN SETBACKS & PERIODS OF SUFFERING: At first Mother Teresa was bewildered by the darkness that she felt and the absence of Jesus in her daily life because she had felt such a closeness with him before. Later one of her spiritual advisors suggested to her that perhaps there was a purpose to this suffering. Perhaps it helped her identify both with Jesus’ own experience and the experience of the poor that she was helping. This process of understanding and ‘making meaning’ of her pain helped her to work through it. Likewise, in any endeavor there will be setbacks but we can continue to create meaning from these experiences so we can use that new knowledge to move us forward.
9. IDENTIFY WITH & REALLY JOIN WITH YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE: From the beginning Mother Teresa wrote that there were missionaries for the rich and middle class but no one cared for the poor in the slums and the dark holes of India. Even when she gained in fame and resources, Mother Teresa remained focused upon this particular population. She chose from the beginning to take a vow of poverty, to have her and her nuns dress simply and to work where the poor that she served lived. This helped her to really understand what they went through. Similarly, many pr people suggest that you choose a niche or specialty so you can know a lot about a small area. This builds trust, experience and can allow you to focus more on really knowing your target audience.
10. BE WILLING TO GIVE UP DISTRACTIONS & COMFORTS THAT DETER FROM YOUR MISSION: Mother Teresa left her family, home land and even the parish she loved to go to India, a place that was quite foreign to her. She relied on her faith that this is how she was needed and could serve best. She gave up living in the nice safe parish and started her mission by begging and trying to find any space with which to begin. Often it was hard to find food or resources but she continued her mission in the face of hardships, constantly looking for new creative ways to help and improve things. I smile when I think about how today we tell ourselves that we need 6 months living expenses, a large budget, a board of trustees etc before beginning a new venture. It is good to plan but often taking action will direct the next step. Also, we do not need to take a vow of poverty to keep this spiritual principle in mind. Perhaps you will make a sacrifice of giving up television or an hour of sleep in order to focus on your dream.
11. CREATE A CLEAR BUSINESS/MISSION PLAN: When she first approached the church to approve her new mission, one of the things that Mother Teresa was asked to do was pray, reflect and answer some practical questions about her plan. They asked her to answer these 9 questions:
1-What exactly and in detail do you want to do?
2-Which are the means by which you desire to bring it about?
3- How would you form your disciples?
4-What kind of people would you recruit for this work?
5-Where would be the center of your work?
6-Is it not possible to obtain this end by congregations already in existence?
7-Would it be more conducive to use a kind of association or sodality?
8-What are your possibilities of success?
Some of the aforementioned questions may be specific to her religious order but many could apply to thinking through any dream or mission. It can be inspiring to look up how to write a business plan so that you can concretize your vision and identify practical steps to making it a reality.
12. BE WILLING TO BEGIN WITH BABY STEPS: When Mother Teresa first began her mission she had 5 rubles and one sister to go with her to face overwhelming hardship, sickness and poverty. She did not have a following, a budget, a headquarters, an advertising budget or savings, board of trustees etc. She chose one thing to do that day that was alignment with her broader vision and she did it. She often said, ‘If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed one.’ She also said, ‘We cannot do great things on this earth, only small things with great love.’
I hope this gives you inspiration to act on your dreams of loving yourself and others in this life, beginning today. Check out her book for inspiration. I’ve included some relevant links below.
If you have further tips for making your dreams happen, please share them below. We can all use encouragement!
My Best in Love,
Author of ‘Dating from the Inside Out: How to Use the Law of Attraction in Matters of the Heart’ published by Atria Books.

It’s one of the premier foodie events on a global scale, let alone Australia so grab a Perth campervan or car rental and get ready for some seriously tasty treats come November 16-18.
And here’s a warning – you may just forget about returning home and stay on for summer as you explore the regions amazing attractions.
Nigella’s Tea Party
Margaret River Gourmet Escape is a unique event attracting local, national and international visitors to enjoy a food and wine 3 day festival program. Cumulatively since the inaugural 2012 event 80,000 passionate foodies have shared in the unique local flavours, incredible landscapes, fun atmosphere and the personal experiences of their favourite attending food and wine celebrities. Could any be more popular than Nigella? “I have always had a slight fantasy-hankering for a cafe with cakes and bakes,” says Nigella Lawson. This year the British journalist and television star returns and gets her wish granted as Howard Park’s Wine Chapel is transformed into an exclusive salon and terrace for afternoon tea with a difference. Unmissable.
Caves Road Cantina at Black Brewing Co

Fishtales with Rick Stein at Wills Domain

These are some of the questions South West producers Brad Adams (Ocean Grown Abalone) and Peter McGinty (Blue Ridge Marron) will be discussing at this thought-provoking event at Wills Domain. After hearing local producers discuss all things seafood, Rick Stein will then reflect on a career running seafront restaurants in Cornwall as well as closer to home on New South Wales’ south coast and the soon-to-be-opened Port Stephens outpost of Bannisters.

By Bill Heaney
Scottish Labour Party leader Richard Leonard has expressed condolences to the all the families who have lost loved ones and friends during the pandemic.
Not least to the families of Dumbarton care worker Catherine Sweeney, pictured right, and Janice Graham, two front-line workers who have lost their lives to Covid-19 over the past few days.
He told the Holyrood parliament: “We applaud the efforts of all those front-line workers who are, in the end, saving lives and at times putting their own lives at risk in so doing. It is a national collective effort, but they are very much leading it.”
Mr Leonard said this was “all the more reason why I want to return to the issue that has arisen over the past few days about the guidance issued by the chief nursing officer on personal protective equipment, which has caused a good deal of concern among people working on the front line.
“Those who are working in the community providing home care or district nursing services, for example, are already under pressure and are being put under even more stress and pressure.
Richard Leonard, the Scottish Parliament and Nicola Sturgeon.
“Can the First Minister give a categorical reassurance that workers in the community on the front line will receive the right and adequate personal protective equipment that they need,” he asked Nicola Sturgeon.
She replied: “The issue around the guidance is not so much about the supply of PPE—we continue to work hard to maintain that supply and to distribute PPE.
“Every care worker should feel that they can wear a mask unless, in their professional judgment, they do not need to do so.”
The Labour leader said: “The World Health Organization continues to advise, Test, test, test. The national clinical director told the BBC that 5,000 health and care workers have been tested in Scotland.
“How many health and care workers have requested to be tested? Out of those 5,000 people, can we get a breakdown of how many of them are care workers and how many are national health service workers? What are the current rates of absenteeism in the NHS and in our care services?”
“The First Minister said the absenteeism rate in the NHS related to the virus has been around 6 per cent and that it was being “monitored carefully”.
She added: “On a daily basis, we are increasing the numbers of healthcare staff—and, where appropriate, their family members and close contacts—that we are testing. We hope to update the 5,000 figure that we have given in the next couple of days and I would obviously expect it to be higher at that point.
Testing, testing, testing. A healthcare worker prepares to test for coronavirus.
“We are building testing capacity with every day that passes and, by the end of this month, we will have the capacity to do 3,500 tests per day.
“The capacity is more than 2,000 tests per day right now but we will go higher than that. That testing capacity is simply within the NHS; we are also seeking to bring on stream academic and commercial testing capacity.
“Testing is really important. It is important now and it will become really important when we have an exit strategy as a way of going back to the contain phase of the virus, where we test, isolate and trace contacts.”
However, there were “limitations” to the testing – “I want to be clear about the limitations of testing. The current diagnostic test that we are using can tell us whether somebody has the virus while they are symptomatic. That is important but it does not tell somebody who is in the incubation period that they have the virus, nor does it tell people once they have recovered that they have had the virus.
“There are quite narrow windows in which that test allows us to say whether a health worker or another worker would be fit to return to work. They may test negative one day, but they may be in the incubation period and may show up positive the next day.
“The current test is an important tool and we will use it to the maximum capacity, but we also have to understand its limitations and therefore the importance of having in future, we hope, antibody testing, which will allow us to tell whether somebody has had the virus—assuming that that confers an element of immunity.”
Richard Leonard then raised the question of compassionate testing.
He asked: “Will the First Minister commit to look at the case for testing those people who have lost somebody through Covid-19, so that they are not grieving alone?
“Will she also consider the case of those who are receiving end-of-life treatment in our hospices or hospitals and who, frankly, do not want to die alone?
“Is she prepared to agree to the testing of immediate family members of people in that situation? We talk a lot about statistics in discussing this issue but, in the end, it is about human beings.”
The First Minister said she did not challenge the premise of the question, which concerns the importance of compassion in every aspect of our response to this crisis, but said two things: “First, we need to ensure that we are using our testing capacity in the best and most strategic way possible in order to give us the best chance of beating the virus.
“Secondly—although I do not want to negate what I said about the fact that I will look at the issue carefully—there is an effectiveness in testing somebody only when they are symptomatic.
“There is no point testing somebody before they display symptoms or after they have stopped displaying symptoms.
“I come back to that relatively narrow window of opportunity just to illustrate the point that, although there might be many people who want to be tested to show that they do not have the virus or perhaps have had it, the current test is not capable of doing all that.
“Therefore, we continue to use the test where we think that it is most appropriate to do so and where it will help us with the wider efforts against the virus.”

Located on a prominent site between Putney and Richmond, the buildings are designed using mixture of traditional classical and Georgian architectural styles. The scale of the terrace is broken down into a vertical rhythm of paired bays and vertically aligned windows based on Georgian principles.
The grandeur is emphasised by a tall base with a stucco finish. Bay windows on the houses become secluded enclosed balconies for the apartments and gardens provide privacy from a busy road to ensure that residents have usable outside space.
Subtle brickwork features, detailed cornice work, ornate railings and balustrades add quality and demonstrates the finer details of our designs. An ornate cornice tops the development.
The houses are set over 5 levels with high ceilings and a mezzanine from the main living room that overlooks a reception room. A grand entrance lobby with a curving feature staircase leads to 5 double bedrooms, 4 en-suite bathrooms, a separate family bathroom, a large fully fitted utility room and two WCs for guests, plus playroom or study.
The principle living accommodation is south facing and opens out through double doors onto the garden with integrated BBQ facilities. A large family kitchen-dining room with bespoke handmade kitchen opens onto a private patio. Private underground double garage gives direct access to the house.
Key features include:
A large reception lobby directs the user to a naturally lit central circulation core.
Each apartment is individually designed to suit its unique location in the development. They include a bright open plan living space, an en-suite bathroom to all master bedrooms, private external amenity space and direct access to a secure, private, naturally ventilated underground car park.
A full height circular feature bay with balconies for apartments marks the prominent north west corner. These private external amenity spaces are sheltered from the road and provide views over Barnes common for the individual apartments. The bay is capped by a timber pergola; making the turret a local landmark feature. Apartments have access to the turret via a large communal roof top garden that has uninterrupted views across London; encouraging interaction between the residents to develop a sense of community.

DHS Chief Napolitano Launches Investigation Into Border Patrol Agents For Profiling Muslims…or We only tolerate this behavoir when it’s done against White America
The U.S. government has launched an investigation into allegations that federal agents at several U.S.-Canada border crossings in Michigan repeatedly harassed, jailed and body searched Muslims because of their background or appearance.
In a letter sent this week to a local Muslim group, Margo Schlanger, the head of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties in the Department of Homeland Security, said her office has received accounts of “repeated handcuffing, brandishing of weapons, prolonged detentions, invasive and humiliating body searches at the border, and inappropriate questioning that pertains to religion and religious practices.”
The complaints include incidents at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron.
The investigation comes in response to complaints filed in March by the Council on American-Islamic Relations with the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security.
The council said it was concerned that agents were even asking people about their prayer schedules.
But yet, it’s perfectly okay when TSA does this exact same thing to our own citizens. On the plus side, at least we’ll know who to blame the next time a terrorist gets into the country due to our border agents being unable to prevent it without being labled an Islampophobe.

In 2014, his 15-year-old Shih Tzu kept looking for food every hour and drank a lot. Her body hairs did not grow back after clipping. Her belly became pot-bellied. She passed blood in the urine.
The vet diagnosed 5 bladder stones, the biggest being 0.5 cm on X-rays. However, he advised not operating as the wound would not heal well as the dog had abnormal cortisol levels from Cushing Disease.
So the ACTH stimulation test was done for half a day, costing him $200. 10mg Vetoryl was given orally for one week, then 15 mg twice a day for one month. After several months, the effective dose was 30 mg once a day.
The dog no longer has Cushing Disase. He came to Toa Payoh Vets to get prescription of 2 boxes of 60 mg as it is less expensive. One capsule content is divided into two. Carefully he apportioned the alloted portion to an empty capsule. The dog has a little pot-belly but would eat and drink normally.
CUSHING DISEASE - 2 types.
Brain and adrenal glands. His dog's was the brain.

Hrm, I have to check the cross-compiling support again since I'm sure it
worked flawlessy last time I did this type of work.

Well, I used a modified pkg-config ebuild at the time (which I should
still have laying around, if I I find it I'll see to merge in the recent
changes and see that it gets into main tree), ut I don't remember
needing to change the source code at all. So unless they broke it
recently (which I wouldn't exclude) I'd expect it to work.
[I have routing troubles right now so I'm unable to access fd.o, I'll
call my ISP and doublecheck.]
But I remember not having to fight with pkg-config, and rather saved me
more time than other things did, like libtool. (Which by the way reminds
me I have to push again for the dependency information to be properly
I don't think I have my last build environment around, but I should have
the script to regenerate it, I'll check if there are regressions in
there; I had to leave this in my TODO list for too long time :/

Our fourth collaboration with Sneep Crew is finally here! Obscure Sneakers and Sneep are a match made in heaven. Why you ask? Because we both have the same vision when it comes to the sneaker community. Quality, creativity and ALWAYS staying true to our roots. The state of the sneaker game has been on a steady decline. Real sneaker collectors have felt the same way that Obscure and Sneep feel about it.
We wanted to get together and create another collaboration with the REAL collector in mind. We connected two themes in one with this project. When a collector admires a sneaker in his collection more than any other, what do we usually call it? We give it that elusive "Holy Grail" label. And this next sneaker based on the Thunder model is JUST THAT! It is created to give the real collector the sense of feeling of ACTUALLY discovering the HOLY GRAIL of runners.
Picture yourself as an explorer that found a hidden temple in a remote jungle. You have your leather jacket, your whip, your hat, and your boots on. Yes, you are Indiana Jones, the "Indi" of the sneaker world. This sneaker is the treasure that you are striving to recover from this "Sneaker Hidden Temple". You have planned your entire career as a collector to discover and obtain the ULTIMATE "Holy Grail".
The colorway is inspired by hidden temples and hidden treasures. Yes, we are giving you the definition of a Holy Grail.
The sneaker is dressed in lime green synthetic suede through the upper, premium yellow cow suede through the toe box, premium black, and brown nubuck. Perforations through the upper with a golden leather underlay. We use an incredible PREMIUM cream-yellow Vibram midsole with a light green outsole and red heel cup. Topping it all off with plush red suede on the toe box hit and Sneep Crew logo.
Picture the green moss covering the hidden temple. The perpetual darkness inside. Golden coins and rubies. The perfect combination of dark colors and VIBRANT colors. All tied together by golden coin graphic insole and an INCREDIBLE unique box with treasure chest print with golden coin print on the inside.
You want a Holy Grail? You don't need to go out and come up with one. This one is MADE for the real collector. It's made for those that think as an individual. For those that were present in the GOLDEN era of runner collaborations. Here is a breath of fresh air! A collaboration with you in mind! A sneaker that will bring that nostalgia back!

Looking Back, Looking Forward at Halogen Bonding in Drug Discovery
AbstractHalogen bonding has emerged at the forefront of advances in improving ligand: receptor interactions. In particular the newfound ability of this extant non-covalent-bonding phenomena has revolutionized computational approaches to drug discovery while simultaneously reenergizing synthetic approaches to the field. Here we survey, via examples of classical applications involving halogen atoms in pharmaceutical compounds and their biological hosts, the unique advantages that halogen atoms offer as both Lewis acids and Lewis bases.
