People talk inside their houses, and they talk outside. Some people talk to their houses. But very rarely do their houses talk back. An exception is a large and loquacious stone-and-slate house on Long Island's North Shore—Great Gatsby country. "The secret of this house is that it carries on a dialogue," says Stephen Sills, of the interior design firm Sills Huniford. "It's a dialogue between classical timelessness and the owners' modern art—the way they live today. It's about giving the past a nod yet respecting the present."
The owners, both active philanthropists in art and medicine, had lived nearby for many years. But they found their old house too confining when their four grown children, accompanied by spouses and children of their own, returned for visits. "It didn't have everything we wanted, a big enough dining room or family room," says the husband. "When this beautiful piece of property—22 acres—came on the market, we had a chance to do what we always wanted. We had a blank canvas."
"When this beautiful piece of property—22 acres—came on the market, we had a chance to do what we'd always wanted. We had a blank canvas"
Big rooms were not the only thing on their wish list, however. "We wanted a house that looked as if it had been there forever," says the wife. For her and her husband, that meant an English manor house, with a stone exterior and sloping slate roofs. They sat down with the architects—partners in the Greenwich, Connecticut, firm Shope Reno Wharton—and explained their needs and desires. When the firm's team returned with drawings, the couple made two small changes and said yes—what they saw on paper was exactly what they wanted. "We don't hem and haw," says the husband.
For the architects, the challenge was to create a house that was as large as the couple specified—it is 240 feet long, two-thirds the length of a football field—but not overwhelming. "We didn't want it to read like some giant massive block," explains principal architect Bernard Wharton. "The success of a house like this is to break it down into pieces that you can digest, pieces that relate to one another." Dormers are artfully placed, for instance, and there is not one roof but several, cascading gracefully like a series of waterfalls. "The overall reading tends to be symmetrical," says Wharton, "but there's a lot of subtle asymmetry that creates excitement and visual interest."
To make the inside as exciting as the outside, the couple called in Sills Huniford, which had designed their Park Avenue apartment (see Architectural Digest, March 2001). "Ford and Stephen can do anything," says the husband. "They're exceptionally creative." For the designers, inspiration came from several sources. They made a slight bow to the houses of Sir Edwin Lutyens, the great English architect of the early part of the last century, and they said hello to nearby estates of the Gatsby era. But they made their real obeisance to the country houses of the Low Countries—Belgium and Holland. "We wanted a more relaxed feeling," says Sills, "and we steered our clients away from the English and toward Northern Europe."
Passionate art collectors—Picasso, Matisse and Rothko are just three of the artists whose works hang on their walls—the couple welcomed the slight change in direction. The entrance hall floor is patterned after one in a Belgian castle. With its interlocking black keys in Belgian black stone, it is as arresting as it is intricate. "The Dutch and the Belgians have more fanciful floor patterns than the English," Sills notes.
Designers often travel long distances to search out just the right lamp or table, and Sills and Huniford crossed the Atlantic several times, often with their clients, to find what they needed. "We would go into a small shop on the Left Bank in Paris," says the husband, "where things were stuffed so tightly that you could hardly see them. We would spot a Dutch light fixture and look at one another and say, Yup, that's for the breakfast room.' Finding things like that was fun."
"Everything in our lives takes place within a space that surrounds us," wrote the late Renzo Mongiardino, a designer whose work Sills and Huniford particularly admire. One of Mongiardino's signature effects was to sometimes cover walls with what looked like embossed antique leather—to make a wall as much a work of art as a painting or a sculpture. It was an effect the partners had long wanted to duplicate. "Until this house we had never had the opportunity to do it, at least on this level," says Sills. "But these clients were so special that we finally could."
The result, in the dining room, is more than an homage to Mongiardino. Placing custom-designed damask imposed on canvas, the designers made walls that look as if they are covered with silver-leafed leather panels. When light is reflected from that sumptuous faux leather at night, the room becomes seductive and supremely glamorous. The owners wanted what the husband calls "a special feeling," and in the dining room—and all the other rooms—that is what they got. "Every time we walk into the house," says the wife, "we say to ourselves, Oh, this belongs to us! Amazing!'"
The rest of their family—three generations—is amazed as well. Sills and Huniford have not only designed an apartment for the wife's mother, but they are also doing a house for one of the clients' three sons. The couple's grandchildren, who, when they visit, spend most of their time in the basement recreation rooms, are still some years away from setting up their own households. But who knows? In 15 or 20 years Sills and Huniford may get calls from members of the fourth generation who also want houses with a special feeling.

Mark Wahlberg Says ‘Ted’ Costar Mila Kunis Is Rare Combo of ‘Smart and Witty’ (VIDEO)
“She’s great, we were in it together,” Wahlberg told Celebuzz. “We worked together before and she’s just very easy to get along with. She’s smart, witty, very quick, but also easy going which is a rare combination.”
In the film, Wahlberg’s character hangs with his best friend — and teddy bear — Ted a tad too much, which throws a wrench into his relationship with Kunis.
So what does the actor think is an absolute deal breaker in a relationship?
“I was living with five or six friends in my apartment [before I met my wife] and that was not good,” Wahlberg said. “You can see who I chose.”
Perhaps one of the best moments in the film is when Wahlberg rattles off white trash names while trying to guess Ted’s girlfriend, which you can watch in a clip. The actor told Celebuzz it didn’t require that many takes to get all 57 random names right.
“I didn’t think it would make it in the movie … I said is it OK if we rattle them off as fast as possible and [Seth] loved the idea,” Wahlberg said. “I’m good at memorizing lines.”
We put Mark to the test — see how many names he remembers in our video above!

With "Alexander" Vangelis finally returns to the silver screen, after a
break of almost eight years composing music for films. In contrast with his
previous scored movie "Kavafis" (1996) "Alexander" is
a high-budgeted international movie, made for a global audience. Directed by the
always controversial Oliver Stone and with Hollywood-stars such as Colin Farrell
(Alexander), Angelina Jolie (Alexander's mother Olympias), Val Kilmer
(Alexander's father Philip), Anthony Hopkins (Alexander's trusted general
Ptolemy), Jared Leto (Alexander's lifelong friend Hephaistion) and Rosario
Dawson (his Persian wife Roxane) the film is an epic movie about the life of the
legendary Greek conqueror-hero Alexander the Great.
In a press-release Vangelis states:
"I've always admired Oliver's films, and, of course, Alexander
the Great is a story that's a natural part of my heritage. So, to be composing
for this film, with Oliver Stone directing, makes it an especially exciting
experience for me."
The official soundtrack album with Vangelis' score is released
on the Sony Classical label. Release dates are November 8th (Europe)
and November 9th (USA) 2004. The album is presented on an
official website which features
a 4,5 minute interview video with Vangelis, as well as a 4-minute clip from the
score named "Titans".
The track "Roxane's Veil" performed together with violinist Vanessa-Mae appears
also her album "Choreography".
The international album release contains a total of 18 tracks,
summing up to 56:23 in length. Note that both the US Borders exclusive and
German Limited edition contain the same bonus track (3:52), titled "Bizarre
Bazaar" on the first and "Bizarre Bazar" on the second.

This is a much darker post than what we usually share at Polkadotsi but we can’t stay silent on this issue. 24 women are dead. 24 individual women. Women who had lives.
Apart from the fact that these victims had their lives ripped away from them, one of the most shameful things about this is that our country is not focussing on the men who murdered these women.
Instead, we are being told that:
- It isn’t safe to walk alone in parks
- it isn’t safe to run with headphones
- We shouldn’t wear provocative clothing.
Um, hold the phone?! What focussing on how it isn’t safe for men to be out beating up and killing women. What about the most basic rape and violence strategy in the world: don’t be violent.
As Twitter user @Ecksmas put it
We say what the fuck…
Let’s get something very clear.
It is never the victim’s fault. Period. Full Stop, no returns.
What is Domestic Violence?
Domestic violence, also labelled intimate partner violence, sometimes simply called violence. Frankly in my opinion the labels don’t matter. It’s not all about physical violence. It’s often difficult to understand how an intimate partner can be violent towards someone if there aren’t physical signs of violence – and that’s why conversations like these need to be had. There’s no such thing as “Typical domestic violence” let’s stop perpetuating that myth.
Domestic abuse can be:
Physical – physical harm is inflicted on the victim. This can be sexual, or violence of a non-sexual nature.
Verbal/Emotional– the victim is shamed, abused, belittled, shouted at, and made to feel harmed with words
Social – the perpetrator isolates the victim from their social circles and removes any chance of support. Teasing and belittling the victim in front of other people, or shaming you in front of others is another example of social abuse.
Economic – The perpetrator traps the victim by creating a dependence on them financially, and prevents them from having any financial independence of their own
Religious/Spiritual The victim is abused by preventing them from having spiritual or religious beliefs of their own, and impacting on their life that way.
Have you got someone in your life that you’re worried about? Talk to them. Have that conversation.
What Can You Do Right Now?
Start talking. Have these conversations. Violence against women continues because it’s almost socially accepted. When you hear someone say “She asked for it” or “She was in the wrong place at the wrong time” or “He is usually so nice when I meet him” GET FUCKING ANGRY.
Or perhaps better, have a gentle confrontation about how the only person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time was the ABUSER. The only person who asked for it was the ABUSER. And the just because someone appears to be lovely to you, does not mean that behind closed doors they aren’t abusing their partner.
We need to be changing the paradigm of the slut shame and victim blame. We need to be putting the focus on why this abuse happens, and we need to be disgusted and abhorred by it as a society.
Stop the Excuses!
We seem to look for reasons that some men are abusive in society, and try to excuse their behaviour.
“It’s expected that men are macho, and demonstrate their worth with displays of physicality” Um, bull-shit. What is this 4000BC?
There are resources for men to deal with their anger issues. Many of them are listed in the resources section at the bottom of this post.
It is not “Un-manly’ to seek help. And it is certainly not OK to abuse someone and excuse it with “oh, I have anger issues” or “I just snapped”
If you have someone in your life that you feel is abusive towards their partner – have that conversation. Or if it’s a life threatening situation, call the police.
Men need to have these conversations too.
I think as a society we are moving to a place where we can recognise the difference between helpful behaviour and harmful behaviour. I also think as a society it’s well time that all of our wonderful, peaceful, men speak up to their brothers and say “Dude, this simply isn’t cool” “Stop abusing women” “In fact, while you’re at it stop abusing anyone”.
As mothers, we need to teach our children that they have the RIGHT to be safe, and they DO NOT have the right to take someone else’s safety away from them.
This change needs to happen. It needs to happen now. Get angry, get passionate, get talking folks!
It’s not always about alcohol
There’s a common myth that domestic violence is caused by alcohol. Nope, not true, Alcohol can be a trigger, but in 50 percent of reported domestic violence cases, the abuse occurred when the perpetrator was sober.
We need to stop excusing violent behaviour with external triggers, and start encouraging abusers to get help, and supporting the victims to rehabilitate their lives.

There is increasingly intense pressure on the planet's limited water supplies, with worsening shortages emerging from the Middle East to Asia and Latin America, researchers and bankers said. climate change threatens to put secure water access ever further out of reach.
"All the local crises around the world are building up to a global crisis," Torgny Holmgren, executive director of the Stockholm International Water Institute, told a conference on the issue at London-based think-tank Chatham House.
But easing the threat and ensuring more people have access to a stable, safe water supply will be hugely challenging because water access and distribution are tied up in politics, cultural views and entrenched systems, conference speakers said.
In Jordan, the third most water-scarce country, raising water prices to reflect the shortage would make economic sense - but not when nearly 1.5 million Syrian refugees, on top of 9 million citizens, depend on it, said Craig Davies of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
"It's potentially a powder keg," said Davies, who heads climate resilience investments for the bank. "From a political point of view, it's imperative to keep water tariffs very low."
Uzbekistan, meanwhile, has built its economy on exports of thirsty cotton, something that might not make sense as water becomes more scarce. But "you can't adjust that very easily" without upsetting farmers and the economy, Davies added.
In North Africa, newly available solar-powered water pumps are giving drought-hit farmers crucial access to irrigation - but also removing incentives to use water sparingly as farmers no longer have to buy fuel for diesel-powered irrigation pumps.
"There is literally no control," said Annabelle Houdret, a senior researcher at the German Development Institute who works in the region. Aquifers there could be depleted, she warned.
Three out of every four jobs globally depend on water in some way, including small-scale farmers who produce 80% of the world's food, said Unver, who is also a water advisor for the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
By 2050, FAO estimates food demand globally will rise by 50% but "we don't have 50% more water to allocate to agriculture", he noted, adding it is already the dominant water user.
Getting water use right in an increasingly parched world is crucial, said Olcay Unver, vice chair of UN-Water, a coordinating agency on water issues for the United Nations. Demand for water is also surging in fast-growing cities, where more than half of people live now and over two-thirds are expected to live by 2050, Unver said.
Under capitalism, many of the supposed solutions are capitalist based. For instance, Davies said the price users pay for water is far below the actual cost of bringing it to them, he said, meaning there is often too little money to invest in treating and delivering water, and maintaining and expanding networks. "If you're not paying a rational price for the water, the incentive is to use the water irrationally," he added.
However there are technical solutions available.
In India's Gujarat state, for instance, much of the year's rain comes in monsoon season - and then rapidly evaporates, said Gareth Price, a Chatham House senior research fellow who works on South Asia.
But some farmers have begun gathering leftover straw after harvest and piling it in low-lying spots in their fields to absorb and hold excess rain, allowing it to slowly filter into the groundwater, he said. The innovation - which also helps cut down on burning of field stubble, a major source of air pollution in the region - has won World Bank funding for its expansion, he said.
Daanish Mustafa, a geography professor at King's College London, said growing water scarcity would unlikely drive a surge in wars, but instead lead to more "unjust cooperation" - cross-border sharing pacts where the stronger party gets the better deal. Water access is already hugely unequal, speakers said, with U.S. residents using 700-900 litres a day, Europeans about 200 litres and many of the world's poorest just 10-15 litres.

oopa! someone got it wrong when buying in bg here people! A true pitty what chance has the op got when people like this are dishing out advice like authority.
banjo wrote:If you are going to live in your village house all year round thats fine but if not dont bother because you will get burgled. Also as its been said barking bl**dy dogs 24 seven,also be smart do not buy anywhere that has gypsies.
You will need to at least try and learn Bulgarian lingo. .
NOT TRUE! Theres villages with no burglaries. Your say this like it be the whole country which just aint true. Let the OP ask around about burglaries.
banjo wrote: Dont expect decent roads there isnt many, dirt tracks at best ok for donkey and cart and stray dogs. .
you must live in some backwater there big buddy! theres parts of this country now have better roads than ENGLAND. Been to Belene have you? How you like the that new road into Pleven then?
I dont think my right honourable forum member here is fit to give advice unless he has seen the country proper.
banjo wrote: Bourgas is ok nice place in the summer bit dull in winter when it shuts. .
cookoo! Bourgas is a city a region actually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you on about the resorts or what? hahahahahahahaha this is funny, "Bourgas closes in winter" ye like the whole region is closed - shut down the airport - close the town hall - send the schools home - right ye big buddy!
banjo wrote: Varna is best good all year round with decent shopping and sea views still loads of stray mutts and maniac drivers trying to avoid the stray pedestrians on zebra crossings, wear flat boots on the pavements or break an ankle or two. Not forgetting loads of ladies of the night
again VARNA is a CITY a REGION actually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The OP is asking about villages.Please someone point out to the OP that VARNA is not a village. Maniac drivers are everywhere so are strays and likely he should be warned about expats who got it wrong and dont want the other expats to be happy and instead want to drag them down into their spyral of misery and drudgery and sel-pittying degenaration.
Why does the OP need to wear flat boots anyway you have seen the ladies of the night they wear high heels and dont seem to break their ankles!
There should be a vote button here where people who know what they is talking about can vote and if its all bumf like this guy wrote it should get voted off named and shamed. If its real valid advice the it should be voted like GOLD or smth so the OP knows what to listen to.
HERE BE MY ADVICE TO THE OP: Heed welll. My advice to the OP is DONT LISTEN TO ALL ADVICE there be a right miserrable bunch on here. Whay you even chossing YAMBAL anyway? GO to Bulgaria and see for yourself as much as you can. Avoid expats and see where you get on best withhhout them because these are the last people with good advice in a country called BULGARIA inhabited by ROMA and BULGARIANS mainly. Bulgarian and Romas also speak English speak to them about their country not Vinny Village hand his tuppence worth.
Freedom of speach be a real danger for some people! Come on forumers lets give this OP some real advice.

Dan Mullen expected to coach in BCS championship game
Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen is expected to coach with the Gators in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 8, UF head coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday afternoon.
Mullen accepted the head coaching job at Mississippi State last week, and he and Meyer have been in discussions about whether he would stay on through the bowl game.
"I think he's going to coach,'' Meyer said. "I talked to him (Monday) and the plan is I think he's going to come back right after Christmas. We've talked about it and our goal is to win the game. Right now, unless something changes, it looks like that's (Mullen coaching) is going to happen.''
Meyer said recruiting for both programs is an emphasis right now, and he respects that Mullen has a new job to attend to. But ultimately, his concern is putting the Gators in the best position to defeat Oklahoma in the national championship game.
"Is the best chance of us winning that game with the mechanics of the game and the way we do it (with Dan), probably yes,'' Meyer said. So the plan is he'll be up in the press box and we're going to go.''

On July 18 on WNEP’s “call back 16”, a woman called about feeding feral cats, stating, “I’d be damned if anyone’s going to stop me from feeding these cats.” The problem, people are not educated as to why this is wrong.
It does not solve the problem as to why they are feral. People think cats should “be free.” Unfortunately, they don’t neuter or spay them so they breed quite often; therein lies the problem. No one wants them or it’s too expensive, so why have cats?
I do understand how this woman feels, but to feed them is not the answer. She should take them to the veterinarian, get them neutered or spayed, make sure they are taken care of.
Feeding them will bring more and it will become overwhelming, expensive and too late.

We at Rothfink Industries were psyched to attend Dubs at the Park in Berkshire, where the laid back nature of the event is fused together with a licensed bar, live music, and a thousand plus VWs showing off their latest patina’s and accessories in a bid to take home the accolade of ‘Best in Show’.
The hottest day of the year was no match for a team of incredible Mountain Bike Trial riders showing their skills and displaying their titanic balls of steel off by jumping 10ft from their show van onto railings with effortless skill.
For anyone interested in attending a show with a strong turnout and a laid back atmosphere, it’s an absolute must.
What sums up a family friendly show like Dubs at the Park? pop there next year and find out dudes.

Nutrition could be one means of reducing cattle’s methane production.
As methane traps 18 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, there was a drive to decrease methane from human activity worldwide and it was inevitable farming would come under the spotlight, suggested Jennifer Flockhart, of Scotland’s Rural College, speaking at a recent SRUC dairy research day.
Methane is produced in the rumen of the cow under anaerobic conditions. Within the rumen there is a large population of microscopic organisms including bacteria, protozoa, archaea and fungi. These microbes ferment feed material in the airless conditions of the rumen to produce volatile fatty acids, which are the major source of energy for the cow.
Fermentation is a two-stage process, firstly producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide, then methane aided by the rumen’s archaea.
“But how do we decrease the level of methane produced without harming the cows, reducing production or incurring significant costs?” asked Ms Flockhart.
“Nutrition is a means which could be used to reduce the levels of methane produced by cows. A few ideas have been considered, some of which are already happening in Scotland.
“One example is to use animal feeds which are co-products from the manufacture of cooking oils, such as dark rapeseed meal, and from the distillery industry, such as distillers’ dark grains. The oil will reduce the level of feed carbohydrate available for fermentation, thereby restricting methane production. But do not over feed oil as it could coat too much of the feed fibre, resulting in the rumen microbes not working, leading to poor animal health.”
Distillery and oil co-products also tend to be quite high in protein meaning there is a natural ceiling of how much can be included in the cow’s diet.
The man-made 3-NOP molecule inhibits the action of the archaea, preventing the second stage of fermentation, decreasing methane production.
She added: “This is a very neat idea and does not appear to have any side effects.”
Cattle’s methane production often comes up in the wider media, as well as consumers’ concerns of cows not being let to graze, but research confirms grazing actually produces more methane than feeding cows an indoor ration containing a mixture of forage with concentrate feeds which can also increase milk production. This was demonstrated in a study using a laser methane detector which can be used to measure the amount of methane emitted from an animal in its breath.
She says: “In the future, selecting sires for reduced methane production could be a reality. Rather than being anxious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, be reassured we are working to find ways of reducing methane levels, before the spotlight reaches our industry."

Since Ludwig van Beethoven is the city’s most famous son, start with a visit to Beethoven House (Beethoven Haus). You’ll find it right in the heart of Bonn, in the Old Town center.
This 12-room house is where the gifted composer was born in 1770. Today, it’s a popular museum.
Inside, we saw various fascinating items relating to this extraordinary figure.
There’s the original announcement of his first concert – at the age of eight! Then there are the bronze ear trumpets he used as he tragically turned deaf in his late 20s.
We also saw shopping lists for the family housekeeper plus two original pianos he played in Vienna.
We even saw a lock of Beethoven’s silver hair!
So, yes, the Beethoven Museum is a must-see in Bonn!
Note that the museum is closed on Tuesdays.
2) Gape at the Altes Rathaus
While strolling through the pedestrian-only cobblestone streets of the Old Town, you’re bound to come across Bonn’s old City Hall.
Known also as the Altes Rathaus, this historic building was finished in 1780 and is a great example of Rococo architecture.
With its gilded stair railings and elaborate ornamental facade, it’s quite the showstopper!
Famous people who’ve stepped foot inside include John F. Kennedy, Charles de Gaulle and Mikhail Gorbachev.
3) Browse the food market at the Altes Rathaus
In the bustling three-cornered market square in front of the Altes Rathaus, you’ll discover the colorful Bonn Market.
The market has two parts. There’s the green market and the street food market.
The green market sells daily needs like fruit, fresh bread, cheese and sausage – all perfect for an easy lunch on a bench outside in the sunshine.
In the street food area, you’ll find fresh juices, vegan food, classic bratwurst, baked potatoes and more.
The market is held every day except on Sundays.
4) Admire the Bonn Minster
The Munsterplatz (or Munster Square) is one of the largest squares in Bonn. (It’s used for events like the Bonn Christmas Market.)
On one side of the square, there’s the impressive Bonn Minster (Munster Basilica).
Built between the 11th and 13th centuries in a mix of both Romanesque and Gothic styles, it’s one of Germany’s oldest churches. It has a beautiful cloister which you can visit.
You’ll also find other historic buildings in Munster Square, including the Old Main Post Office (Hauptpost).
The square itself has numerous cafés. It’s a great place to sip a cappuccino and indulge in the pleasant pastime of people-watching.
5) Check out the Beethoven statue
When at Munster Square, be sure to look up at the imposing bronze statue of Beethoven.
This Beethoven monument was revealed in 1845 for the first annual Beethoven festival.
It received an extensive restoration in 2022. It’s now nice and clean, and Beethoven’s steely glare has never looked better.
6) Visit Poppelsdorf Palace
From the Old Town, wander over to the ochre-colored Poppelsdorf Palace. (Don’t you just love the name?)
One of the prettiest attractions in Bonn, it was the former home of prince-elector Joseph Clemens of Bavaria.
The show-stopping Baroque palace is now part of the University of Bonn, housing its natural sciences collection.
You can visit the Mineralogical Museum of the University of Bonn inside the palace.
There are four rooms where you can see minerals of all colors and shapes, gems and meteorites.
Note: The museum is only open on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Bonn Botanical Gardens
You’ll also find the University of Bonn Botanical Gardens on the palace grounds.
Created in the early 19th century, the vast botanical garden showcases 3,000 plant species – from orchids and rare Indonesian flowers to carnivorous plants and ginkgo trees.
Bonus: The gardens are free to visit – one of the best free things to do in Bonn!
It’s no surprise that students like to gather in the gardens to chat and socialize.
In the summer months, classical music concerts are held outside on the lawns in the evenings.
7) Eye the art at the Kunstmuseum Bonn
Art lovers! One of the best places to see in Bonn is the Kunstmuseum.
This museum of modern art was founded in 1947.
It’s home to an important collection of German art, focusing on works of the “Rhenish Expressionists.” These were a group of artists in the early 1900s who developed their own bold striking style. Some great examples are August Macke’s compelling paintings of the Rhineland.
There are also many works by post-war German artists.
The museum building itself is also interesting to work your way through, with unexpected angles and curved stairs.
It’s definitely one of the best museums in Bonn!
The Kunstmuseum is open daily except Mondays.
8) Drink a beer at Alter Zoll
Make your way up to the terrace running along the left bank of the Rhine River and you’ll get great views of the river.
You’ll also find a beer garden there (Biergarten Alter Zoll).
Make like a German and quench your thirst with a glass of Kolsch – a refreshing ale-lager hybrid. Relax and enjoy the views.
There’s also a good choice of food, with curry and pizza on offer, plus the usual bratwurst and chips.
9) Wonder at the Arithmeum
When planning what to do in Bonn, don’t forget to think “math.” That’s right – because this place makes math fun!
The Arithmeum is a mathematics museum, housed within a minimalist steel-and-glass building at the University of Bonn.
The museum features the most comprehensive collection of historic calculating machines in the world.
These mechanical machines click and whir as they complete complex calculations. You can see their whole historical progression in over 10,000 pieces.
There are also all sorts of other mathematical novelties on view. This includes historical arithmetic books and a 400-year collection of slide rules – all displayed in Bauhaus glass cabinets among colorful pieces of design furniture and art.
Note: Like most museums in Bonn, the Arithmeum is closed on Mondays.
10) Take a short scenic river cruise to Konigswinter
When it comes to day trips from Bonn, you must enjoy a scenic trip along the Rhine River to Konigswinter.
We hopped on a riverboat for a two-hour river cruise. We glided past mansions, framed by weeping willows, then into the countryside to Konigswinter.
Konigswinter is the pretty town where Lord Byron and other wealthy Brits liked to go on holidays in the 19th century.
It’s right in wine-growing country, so no doubt they sampled the local wines too.
Boat tours to Konigswinter
If you’re looking for a boat tour to Konigswinter, this great two-hour Rhine River boat trip takes in the sights between Bonn and Königswinter.
You’ll also hear live commentary about the area’s rich history.
11) Chug up the Drachenfels Rack Railway
There’s another reason for visiting Konigswinter – to ride the historic 1883 Drachenfels cog railway.
This is the oldest cogwheel railroad in Germany. The train climbs 720 feet over a distance of one mile, with some inclines as steep as 22%.
We boarded an open-sided wooden railcar for the three-minute ride to the top of Drachenfels (meaning “Dragon Rock”) mountain. Fun and very steep!
The train typically goes every 30 minutes and operates year-round, except for late November and December. (See the Drachenfelsbahn timetable.)
(If you prefer, you can join the hikers armed with poles who huff and puff their way up the green mountainside instead.)
12) Explore Schloss Drachenburg
Get off the Drachenfels railway car at Drachenburg Castle.
It looks medieval, but it was actually built for a financier in 1871.
Damaged in WWII, the fairytale castle has been restored to show the rooms in their original opulent state. And opulent they are – they’re over the top!
Rooms are graced by beautiful stained glass windows.
The reception room has a wonderful carved oak ceiling (frescoes cover other ceilings).
We loved seeing the dining room table set with gilt-edged china and crystal.
And we wondered what it would be like to sleep in the master bedroom.
Blue silk drapes and gold tassels framed the view window.
Oh, but it would probably be hot in summer and drafty in winter – no sour grapes, of course!
You can also climb to the top of the turret (we did) for splendid views of the river valley below.
After, we strolled the colorful flower gardens surrounding the castle before returning to Bonn.
Visiting the Drachenburg Castle is definitely a great Bonn day trip!
Guided tours of the castle are offered, so check the different options if interested.
13) Eat at Brauhaus Bronnsch
Kolsch may be more common.
But when in Bonn, you must also drink a Bonnsch.
Brauhaus Bonnsch is a small independent micro-brewery in Bonn’s city center that makes a great unfiltered lemony ale.
To go with the beer, tuck into some of the resto’s excellent and hearty home-style comfort food – from currywurst to delicious freshly baked pretzels to schnitzel with cabbage and spatzle.
14) Visit the Federal Republic of Germany Museum
So, did we mention there’s a Museum Mile? No?
The Bonn Museum Mile is a mile-long strip of five museums.
Already mentioned, the Kunstmuseum Bonn (#7) is one of the museums on the strip.
And so is the Museum of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany (Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland).
It’s an excellent museum covering contemporary German history from the end of the Second World War to today.
What’s special is the insight the FDR Museum offers into how ordinary German people lived their lives after the war in very difficult circumstances.
The museum offers glimpses into this tumultuous time. See, for example, the dentist’s chair that was flown into Berlin after the war during the Berlin Airlift (when the city had no supplies due to the Soviet Union blockade).
You’ll see from the museum’s Tripadvisor ranking that visiting it is definitely one of the best things to do in Bonn!
Bonus: Entrance to the museum is free for all visitors.
15) Enjoy the cherry blossoms
Move over Japan!
You’re not the only place where cherry blossoms are celebrated.
In spring, Heerstrasse Avenue blooms with magnificent pink cherry trees, spreading their boughs over the street.
“Cherry Avenue” is the most famous in Bonn, but in April, you’ll find delightful pink “tunnels” through many of the city’s cobblestone streets.
These blossoms are some of the prettiest things to see in Bonn!
16) Shop at the Friedrichstrass
The Friedrichstrass is a pedestrian street lined with an eclectic array of shops.
Antiques? German wine? Maybe a dirndl skirt? You’ll find it all here.
Don’t expect the “typical” stuff you usually find at big box or brand-name stores.
17) Grab gummies at the Haribo Store
A gummy store? Indeed!
A visit to Bonn wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the gummy bear store. Bonn is where these delicious bears were invented back in the 1920s.
Hans Riegel created the jelly-like candies, forming the company Haribo. In fact, the name comes from the first two letters of both his first and last name plus his home city – HA(ns) RI(egel) BO(nn).
So indulge your sweet tooth (or the kid in you) and pick up some colorful gummies to take home.
Now you know what to do in Bonn, Germany!
Bonn is more than just the birthplace of Ludwig van Beethoven.
Despite its small size, this gem of a city offers plenty to explore – from world-class museums and the historic elegance of Poppelsdorf Palace to beautiful gardens and scenic river cruises.

ModCon Vampire the Masquerade 5th Ed.
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition on Discord
Price per player-session
About the adventure
You have woken up in a room that is pitch black and feel the need to eat something, the others around you seem familiar, but you do not fully recognize them. There is light creeping in through a closed door. As you get out you realize you are in some sort of labyrinth how do you get out, how do you handle the things locked in with you.
How to prepare
The only preparation a player will need to do is have discord installed, be ready to play, and have a basic character idea. The character does not have to be created or fully developed it can be something as simple as a skeptic or teacher to a detective that is done with all of the bureaucracy or an occultist that has been talking to the other side as far as they can remember.
What I provide
I will bring the rulebook and have a story prepared for them.
Vampire the Masquerade uses the storyteller system which requires the players to roll 10- sided equal to an attribute and skill to succeed at tests. Any dice over 6 is considered a success, but there is a difficulty which is how many success you need to pass. Safety Tools: I use two major safety tools, X card and lines and veils, with weekly check ins. The X card can be used at any point if a participant is uncomfortable with the content happening in-game. When the X card is used by tapping the card or typing an “X” in the chat, the group can change, rewind, or skip the content. Lines: are subjects that are never brought up or into the game, any player may add to the list. The current lines are: Sexual Assault of any kind. Veils: are subjects that are alluded to but never directly brought up or into the game, any player may add to this list as well. The current veils are: domestic abuse. Weekly Check Ins: is where I ask the group before each game if there is any Lines or Veils that the players would like to add to the list whether on a permanent basis or temporarily considering life happens and we are not fully active in each other's life.
How will character creation work
There is no levels with the character's but characters will be new to the darker side of the world. I will go over character creation with the players to make sure that they have a character that they enjoy and works well with others. However, if a player wishes to create a character on their own and being checked by me they are more than welcome to.
Players can expect
- Combat/Tactics: Medium
- Roleplay: High
- Puzzles: Low
- Experience Level: None

We have just spent the weekend in Villa Nicetta and would recommend it to anyone who loves good food and a nice and relaxing environment.
The room was very spacious, meant for 4 people (we were 2),large bedrooms,adequate bathroom with shower, equipped with a small kitchen and a dining area..but who would need it, when the main kitchen dishes out great food!
Breakfast was huge, with fresh bread,biscuits and cakes, home-made jam and marmelade
selection, eggs, cheese... and unlimited refill of coffee and tea.
Dinner was spectacular! Around 10 different kinds of "antipasti" prepared with what's in season,
a lovely risotto, meat with home-made chips, dessert, wine, and home-made spirit at the end...
The surroundings offer interesting choices of half day or even full-day trips, with the Nebrodi park not far away.
The owners are really kind: knowing we were coming by train they came and picked us up from the station! They even gave us a jar of our favourite fig jam when we left!
Definitely recommend it!

How to Crochet a Cookie for Beginners
Crocheting is a wonderful hobby that allows you to create beautiful and unique items using just a simple hook and yarn.
If you're a beginner looking for a fun and easy crochet project, why not try crocheting a cookie? In this article, we will guide you step by step on how to crochet a cookie, even if you have never picked up a crochet hook before.
Crocheting a cookie is a delightful way to add a touch of sweetness to your craft projects. Whether you want to make a cute keychain, a decorative applique, or a fun toy, crocheted cookies are versatile and adorable. Follow our easy instructions below and let's get started on this delightful crochet adventure!
Before we begin, gather the following materials:
Yarn: Choose a color that resembles a cookie, such as light brown or beige.
Crochet Hook: Select an appropriate hook size based on the thickness of your yarn. A size G (4.0 mm) hook is commonly used for medium-weight yarn.
Scissors: A good pair of scissors will help you trim the yarn neatly.
Fiberfill: This will be used for stuffing the cookie if you want a plump and three-dimensional result.
Yarn Needle: You'll need a needle with a large eye for weaving in loose ends.
Follow these step-by-step instructions to crochet your very own delicious-looking cookie:
Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring
To begin, create a magic ring by making an adjustable loop with your yarn. Insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, and pull up a loop. This will serve as the center of your cookie.
Step 2: Work the First Round
In the first round, crochet single crochet stitches (sc) into the magic ring. Continue working in a spiral, placing 6 sc stitches in total around the ring. This will form the foundation of your cookie.
Step 3: Increase Stitches
In the second round, increase the number of stitches by working two single crochet stitches into each stitch from the previous round. Repeat this process six times, resulting in a total of 12 stitches in the second round.
Step 4: Continue Increasing
Continue to increase the number of stitches in each round by adding an extra single crochet stitch between increases. Work three single crochet stitches into every second stitch from the previous round, repeating this process six times.
Once you have achieved the desired size of your cookie, begin to decrease the number of stitches in each round. Work a single crochet decrease (sc2tog) every second stitch, repeating this process six times. This will gradually shape the cookie.
If you want a three-dimensional cookie, now is the time to stuff it with fiberfill. Carefully add the stuffing to the center of the cookie, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Continue crocheting as you stuff.
To finish the cookie, close the opening by slip stitching through both loops of the final stitches. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. Trim the excess yarn with scissors.
Crochet Cookie Ideias
Congratulations! You have successfully crocheted your very own cookie. This delightful project is perfect for beginners who want to explore the world of crochet.
Let your creativity shine by experimenting with different yarn colors and adding embellishments like sprinkles or chocolate chips. Crocheted cookies make charming gifts and can be used in various crafts.

By Shivangi Singh:
From a social worker to a critically-acclaimed actress and then going on to become an award-winning director and the first Indian to be inducted into the French Government’s International Women’s Forums Hall of Fame- How has this amazing journey been for you?
Challenging and exciting, but primarily a learning one. I like doing different things and they all sort of feed on each other. Some things get left behind, but then other priorities replace them.
Acting, Directing, Philanthropy-You wear many hats. What is closest to your heart? What gives most meaning to your life?
Women are forced to be great multi-taskers, thanks to all the different things they end up doing. We are forced to be good at it! But honestly speaking, juggling various roles has been challenging.I will continue to travel the journey of life with multiple interests and concerns, and thankfully without the pressure of proving myself or fearing the consequences. I deeply care about issues concerning women and much of my work, be it acting, writing, directing, speaking is about advocating these concerns. It is all half a drop in the ocean, but we all need to do our little bit. I have seen that there is always time for what one really wants to do. Whatever is priority comes to the forefront and the rest automatically takes a backseat. At that time other things go on the back burner and then again resurface later. During Firaaq that was my focus, now Chhoti Productions and of course Vihaan, who has made me more introspective other than filling me with a lot of joy.
You are involved in active campaigning for issues of Women and Child Welfare in India and abroad. What, according to you, is the issue that requires most attention right now in terms of the same? What are some of the things that the young generation must keep in mind in terms of those issues?
Women’s progress and regress is happening almost simultaneously. More women are speaking out and asserting their views. But at the same time incidents of female infanticide, dowry deaths or sexual assaults have not decreased. Much of these heinous crimes occur in affluent sections of the society, further forcing us to question the kind of education we are imparting. Till society doesn’t take it upon itself as their problem and doesn’t leave it to only women fighting their case, the change will be slow.
As the Chairperson of the Children’s Film Society of India, how do you feel about censorship and viewer sensibilities in our country?
Today the children are growing up on a completely different diet and we cannot stop that. But we can surely provide an alternative. There aren’t too many takers in terms of distribution, as they prefer family entertainers as opposed to films made specifically for children, despite the fact that kids form a huge part of the audience. There is a real dearth of quality content that provides wholesome entertainment to children. Children form a huge film audience the world over. I wonder why we haven’t explored this segment enough. In India, economics gets in the way of everything, more so filmmaking. Because of that, people often don’t want to take a chance. However, it is possible to make low or medium budget films that are strong in content and form, do not compromise the ideals and are a lot of fun. Unfortunately, our films for children are either preachy and boring, or then fluffy and sometimes even violent. The reality shows are putting a lot of pressure on children which can be very harmful for their emotional growth.
What does cinema mean to you? When did your romance with acting begin and how?
I got into films as an actor by default. I did my Masters in Social Work and have worked with various NGOs and the experience of being exposed to the many realities is bound to impact my choices in films both consciously and instinctively. There is no career graph as there is no real strategy or plan to the way my life has unfolded. Social work is what I did much before I got into acting, so for me it was the other way around.

Joe Kindred, named the Charlotte area’s only semifinalist in the 2016 James Beard Awards in mid-February, fell out of contention Tuesday as his 20-chef Best Chef Southeast category was pared to five finalists.
In fact, the Carolinas were pretty well omitted in the restaurant portion of the program, with Raleigh’s Death & Taxes staying in the hunt for Best New, and FIG in Charleston making the Outstanding Wine Program finalists, but the other Carolinas semifinalists skipped. Awards will be given April 26.
Kindred, of Davidson’s Kindred, had been the first area chef nominated since 2009, when both Bruce Moffett (Barrington’s, Good Food on Montford, Stagioni) and Mark Hibbs (no longer in Charlotte) made the semifinals list.
Bon Appetit put Kindred in its top 10 national list of best new restaurants, and the place has gotten national praise and coverage from such disparate media as the Wall Street Journal and Food & Wine. But Beard judges skipped it in the Best New category. The Beard Foundation announces semifinalists (20 in most categories) across the industry from cooking and wine and restaurant design to regional “best chef” designations to book and media awards. Anyone can suggest restaurant nominees; Beard committees select semifinalists from the pool (some 40,000 names in total), then finalists and winners are voted on by volunteer judges – industry pros and previous winners.
Finalists for Best Chef Southeast: Kevin Gillespie, Gunshow, Atlanta; Edward Lee, 610 Magnolia, Louisville; Steven Satterfield, Miller Union, Atlanta; Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman, Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, Memphis; and Tandy Wilson, City House, Nashville.
(BTW, I’m sticking with my prediction chef Kindred will be the first to bring one home, if the operation continues to evolve.)

I was obsessed with hummustard for years, but recently have switched over to Trader Joe’s Peanut Dressing. OBSESSED. So, if you see a salad that I’m eating at home – it had peanut dressing.
After lunch I headed to work.
And then, after a few errands I drove back home and knew I needed a big snack to hold me over till dinner. I wanted a snack that hit all these bases:
- Had Protein
- Was sweet
- Something I could put nut butter on
I considered a few options and pancakes came to mind.
This is the most labor intensive snack I’ve ever made. And it was totally worth it!
Ahhhh! My belly is so happy now

MRAM pioneer Everspin replaces CEO
LoPresti will step down as CEO and from the Everspin board of directors, effective August 31, 2017, but will remain an advisor for the following six months.
Conley joined Everspin’s board of directors in March 2017 and has been active with the company in refining its strategy. Prior to that, Conley was chief technology officer with SanDisk Corp. until June 2016. Previously, he served as general manager of SanDisk’s client storage solutions business unit that he built from the ground up to over $1 billion in annual revenue.
Conley spent 15 years of his early career at SanDisk where he held several system engineering positions and he is listed as inventor or co-inventor on over 80 patents in the area of non-volatile memory architecture and management.
“Kevin’s experience building high-growth technology businesses, including a market leading SSD business at flash memory pioneer SanDisk, makes him an ideal selection to fulfil Everspin’s vision of making high-endurance, fast, and persistent MRAM ubiquitous in computing applications,” said Everspin board director Geoff Tate.
“From wearables to self-driving cars to big data analytics in the data center, there is an insatiable appetite developing for low latency high endurance non-volatile memory,” said Conley. “Everspin has been a MRAM technology pioneer and its spin-torque MRAM holds the potential to address this market and disrupt the traditional computational memory hierarchy.”
