NEW: Pro-Russian forces face off with Ukrainian troops at Crimea base
NEW: Journalists are attacked by self-styled pro-Russian defense forces
European observers turned back from entering Crimea by armed men for a second day
Russian Parliament says it'll back Crimea separation vote despite sanctions threat
Pro-Russian troops reportedly smash open the gates of a Ukrainian base. Russia’s navy traps Ukrainian ships. Armed men refuse to allow military observers to enter Ukraine’s Crimea region.
The crisis in Ukraine took on a decidedly military flavor Friday as tensions flared between Moscow and Kiev over control of Crimea, even as the world’s diplomats said conflict could be avoided.
Crimea, a self-governing peninsula in southern Ukraine with an ethnic Russian majority and strong cultural ties to Russia, has become the epicenter of a battle for influence between Moscow, Kiev and the West since Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was pushed out of office by protesters who were angered over his rebuff of a trade deal with the European Union in favor of one with Russia.
In the days since Yanukovych was ousted, thousands of Russian troops have surrounded military bases and key infrastructure sites, and they have taken control of border crossings.
At the same time, a political battle has been playing out between the two countries, with Russia’s Parliament on Friday giving its defiant support to Crimean lawmakers who want to see their region split from Ukraine and join Russia.
Complete coverage on the Ukraine crisis
The lawmakers’ unanimous call for a vote on separation prompted howls of outrage Thursday in the United States and Europe and the threat of sanctions, including asset freezes, visa bans and travel bans.
The delegation from the Crimean Parliament, which said it would put the decision to a public vote on March 16, headed to Moscow on Friday and got a very different reaction.
Valentina Matvienko, speaker of Russia’s upper house of Parliament, told the Crimean delegation it would “support and welcome” any decision made by the Crimean people to become a part of Russia.
Ukrainian interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk condemned talk of a split.
“I want to warn separatists and other traitors of the Ukrainian state who are trying to work against Ukraine, any of your decisions taken is unlawful, unconstitutional, and nobody in the civilized world is going to recognize the results of the so-called referendum of the so-called Crimean authorities,” he said Friday.
Russia has denounced Yanukovych’s ouster as an illegitimate coup, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has refused to recognize the new Ukrainian authorities.
Putin has insisted he has the right to use military force in Ukraine if necessary to protect ethnic Russians in Crimea.
But Ukrainian officials say no threat exists, and Putin is using it as a pretext to control the region.
U.S. President Barack Obama set out a potential solution to the crisis when he spoke to Putin on Thursday, the White House said.
The proposal includes direct talks between Kiev and Moscow, the withdrawal of Russian forces, international support for elections on May 25, and the presence of international monitors to “ensure that the rights of all Ukrainians are protected, including ethnic Russians,” Obama said.
What has mostly been a peaceful standoff in Crimea, with virtually no sign of Ukrainian military movement, appeared to take a turn on Friday when pro-Russian forces smashed open the gates of a Ukrainian base near Sevastopol that controls airspace in southern Ukraine, Vitaly Onishenko, a deputy commander at the base, told CNN.
Ukraine’s military spokesman initially said the forces were Cossacks, akin to Russian paramilitary troops, but Onishenko later dismissed that claim and said the forces were Russian and wore military uniforms with no insignia.
Ukrainian troops refused to surrender and barricaded themselves inside a control room, Onishenko said.
Outside the base, self-styled Crimean defense forces, similar to local militias, attacked journalists, he said. At least one person, believed to be a journalist, was injured and taken to a hospital, he said.
The standoff at the base eventually ended with the Russian-speaking forces pulling back to the outside of the base, Onishenko said.
Ukrainian authorities also reported that the Russian Black Sea Fleet sank a second of its own, old ships at the entrance to Lake Donuzlav, an inlet on the western coast of Crimea that is home to a Ukrainian naval base. Viktor Shmihanovsky, vice commander of the base, told CNN that several Ukrainian naval ships are now trapped inside.
Unidentified armed troops also have blocked unarmed European military observers from entering the country for the second straight day.
Masked men carrying rifles and wearing camouflage uniforms stopped the 43 observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, a regional security organization, at a checkpoint separating the mainland from the Crimean peninsula, CNN’s Matthew Chance said.
One man, speaking in Russian, said: “I’ve been ordered by the government of Crimea not to let anyone in.”
And in signs that the pro-Russian Crimean authorities are clamping down on dissent within the peninsula, at least two Ukrainian channels, 1+1 and Channel 5, have been blocked from broadcasting. The head of 1+1 told CNN that Russian state TV outlet Channel One is now broadcasting on its frequency.
A Bulgarian freelance journalist and his colleague also were assaulted while filming in Simferopol, the regional capital. The journalist told CNN he was wrestled to the ground, and a gun was put to his head.
The incident was captured on surveillance footage and aired on a Ukrainian TV channel, Hromadske TV.
The standoff has also prompted neighboring countries and their allies to boost military defenses, with the United States beefing up its number of fighter jets in Lithuania and Poland.
The USS Truxton, a guided-missile destroyer, was also heading to the Black Sea to join in pre-planned military exercises with Romanian and Bulgarian forces.
Asset freezes, visa bans
Meanwhile, as the West seeks to put the diplomatic squeeze on Russia, European Union nations said they’ll suspend some talks with Russia and have threatened travel bans, asset freezes and the cancellation of a planned EU-Russia summit.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told French public radio Friday that tougher measures are planned if Moscow doesn’t act to de-escalate the situation.
“And if another attempt is made, then we would enter into something completely different – that is to say serious consequences for the relations between Europe and Russia,” he said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned against sanctions, saying in a statement that they would “inevitably boomerang” on the United States.
But there’s help on hand for the fledgling government in Kiev.
Ukraine’s new government and the EU have agreed to revive a trade deal and an aid package that could bring $15 billion to Ukraine.
The International Monetary Fund is also ready to help, the head of the agency’s European section said. NATO is willing to help Ukraine’s military “modernize and strengthen,” Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told CNN’s Becky Anderson on Friday.
Such aid is desperately needed.
The Russian gas company, Gazprom, has not received any payment from Ukraine in February, according to the company’s CEO, the Russian state news agency Itar-Tass, reported Friday.
CEO Alexey Miller said Gazprom cannot give Ukraine gas for free, Itar-Tass reported.
In Crimea: ‘We will protect our land from Western extremists’
Ukraine’s Paralympic team sent just one member to participate in the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games in the Russian city of Sochi, said Dmitry Bulatov, Ukrainian minister of sports and youth.
The decision to boycott the ceremonies, with the exception of a single flag bearer, was made unanimously by the team, he said.
“This is how our team expresses protest against aggressors and occupants entering our land,” Bulatov said.
Official delegations from the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, Canada and Poland earlier announced plans not to attend the Games. Athletes from those countries will still compete.
Muslim minority fears for safety
Russian speakers make up about 60% of Crimea’s population of more than 2 million, but around a quarter are Ukrainian and 12% are Crimean Tatar, a predominately Muslim minority. Neither of the latter two groups would welcome a switch to Russian control.
A CNN crew met with Crimean Tatars in the town of Bakhchisaray amid fears for their safety that have reminded some of past oppression under the Soviet Union.
Many spent years in exile – in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan or other Soviet republics – after the Soviet Union deported them for supposedly collaborating with Adolf Hitler.
“It is not legal,” one elderly man said. “We are the original nation of Crimea. Our Khan state was here. Russia left us with no rights.
“We don’t want to be with Russia, we want to be with Ukraine,” he said.
Ukraine PM: Crimea ‘was, is and will be an integral part of Ukraine’
CNN’s Diana Magnay reported from Sevastopol, and Chelsea J. Carter reported and wrote from Atlanta. Laura Smith-Spark wrote from London. CNN’s Tim Schwarz in Kiev, Alla Eshchenko in Moscow, Bharati Naik, Jason Hanna and Ursin Caderas also contributed to this report.

Anger is a basic human emotion that can involve strong physiological arousal of the “fight or flight” response. The experience of anger involves several components, including (1) an appraisal of being wronged, (2) physiological arousal often including muscle tension, rapid, shallow breathing, increased heart rate, and increased adrenalin and gastrointestinal symptoms and (3) a behavioural response that could include verbal or physical aggression. When anger is not expressed in healthy ways, it can cause difficulties in interpersonal relationships both socially and at work and can leave the angry person feeling guilty, alone, disappointed, and out of control. Anger is often a response to pain and frustration. It is a learned response and it can be unlearned with time and effort.
Strategies for controlling angry feelings, managing stress, and solving problems can help to decrease destructive expressions of anger. If your anger is interfering with your relationships, work and overall quality of life, you might want to speak to a professional about getting help. Psychologists can help you to identify what triggers your anger and challenge the thoughts and behaviours that tend to get you into trouble. They might also teach you some relaxation techniques and assertiveness skills to help affect long-lasting change.

In your case, you appear to be correctly classified as a contractor, but it's odd that you are billing by the hour and putting in quite a few hours.
You need to track all the money you get--ask for checks not cash and then photocopy them before you cash them. Think about it, you don't want to think you made $2000 and have them give you a 1099-Misc for $3000. (Even if you don't get the 1099-Misc, you have to report the income.) If you don't get reimbursed for expenses, their total and yours should match.
At any rate, as far as putting money aside, you definitely owe SE tax and that's 13.3% of the total. If your income for the year is more than $5800, you will also owe income tax. It doesn't look like you will hit that number.
As for quarterly payments, if you owe more than $1000 (unlikely for this year), then you are supposed to send money in quarterly. See form 1040-ES.
Edit: Then get a receipt book (or create your own) and whenever he pays you, make a point of filling it out and giving him a copy for his records. You should give him a summary of what he's paid you.

text: Leading-edge tubercles have been investigating widely on the performance of foils in the last decade. In this study, the biomimetic tubercle design has been applied to the corner shape on a deep-draft semi-submersible. A numerical study on flow over a deep-draft semi-submersible (DDS) with a biomimetic tubercle corner shape was carried out to investigate the corner shape effects on the overall hydrodynamics and motion responses. The hydrodynamic performance of the biomimetic tubercle corner is compared with a traditional round corner design platform. It is demonstrated that, as the corner shape design changed, the motion responses alter drastically. In addition, the flow patterns were examined to reveal some insights into fluid physics due to the biomimetic tubercle corner design. The comprehensive numerical results showed that the three-dimensional effect, which causes spanwise flow, can be reduced by a continuous spanwise (column-wise) variation of the shear-layer separation points.

Argentine president Mauricio Macri who has made signing trade deals a priority, said he was optimistic that Mercosur, the trade bloc formed by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, would be able to conclude a free trade deal with the European Union by year-end despite differences over beef, ethanol and other agribusiness matters.
European Union leaders have agreed to press ahead with Mercosur talks and European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker confirmed the bloc will “continue to do everything” to conclude a deal before the end of the year. “It's important,” Mr Juncker said. “We underestimate the importance of Mercosur for the European Union.”
France will propose changing the European Commission’s mandate to negotiate a trade deal with Mercosur bloc to include food safety provisions, its envoy to Brazil said on this week.
Aerolineas Argentinas has become the latest carrier to suspend flights to Caracas. The company said it had concerns over security in Venezuela because of increasing criminal violence and political uncertainty. It joins dozens of airlines who have taken similar action.
Uruguay's foreign minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa announced he will be meeting foreign secretary Boris Johnson next Monday, in London to address Brexit consequences and Uruguay's interest is reaching a trade agreement with the UK. Although both sides are interested in such an understanding, this will be an initial contact, the strong intention which will have to be followed up by detailed negotiations, points out the Uruguayan government ministry.
Argentina’s 2018 budget bill forecasts economic growth of 3.5% next year and average annual inflation of 15.7%, Treasury Minister Nicolas Dujovne told Congress. The bill proposes a 2018 primary fiscal deficit of 3.2% of gross domestic product (GDP) as previously announced.
News of a potential offer of a tariff rate quota for 85,000 tons of beef in the Mercosur/European Union negotiations has triggered a dismayed reaction from the ICSA’s (Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association’s) Beef Chairman Edmond Phelan.
Brazil's lower house of Congress has given initial approval to a bill to reduce the huge array of political parties that have made it hard to govern the country and contributed to corruption. The chamber voted 384-16 for the establishment of a minimum national vote threshold that parties must reach to get public funding and free radio and television time for their election campaigns. The requirement would be 1.5% of votes in 2018, rising to 3% in 2030.
Brazil's Police raided the home of a top government official Thursday seeking evidence in yet another corruption case involving a member of embattled President Michel Temer's Cabinet. The operation was authorized by Brazil's top court and is part of an investigation of Agriculture Minister Blairo Maggi, who is suspected of bribing state lawmakers during his 2003-2010 terms as governor of Mato Grosso.
Pushing the European Union Mercosur deal is a “completely unacceptable”, according to Meat Industry Ireland’s (MII) director Cormac Healy. In a statement, Healy said that any progression and completion of the Mercosur trade deal will have negative effects on the EU beef market.

The chief minister said things were a bit different in the peninsula.
“In West Malaysia, there are only three major races and a few indigenous people, but they never stop bickering. It is stupid.
“Here we have 35 races and yet we are very peaceful and live in unity and harmony,” he said at a Hari Raya gathering at Lundu Sport Complex yesterday.
Adenan said everyone should be thankful they could live in peace and harmony. They only have to look at the gruesome conflicts in the Middle East and in Africa to know what disunity and wars could bring.
“If we read the news or watch television, the Arabs, the Palestinians, and the Africans never stop killing each other. It is very bad.”

University challenge: two parents disagree
Alastair McCall is editor of The Sunday Times Good University Guide
IT IS the only loan in life you can take out and, if you can’t pay it off, any outstanding sum will be written off 30 years after graduating. A great deal, by any judgment. So why mess with it?
I have never understood why parents pay off the tuition fee and maintenance loans for their sons and daughters. I have no intention of doing so for my three children if they decide to go to university.
The only person guaranteed to benefit from paying off £27,000 of tuition fee debt (or an average £44,000 if you include maintenance) in one hit is the chancellor of the exchequer.
The Treasury gets its money up

As many of you are aware I went Interrailing last year with two of my best friends and it was honestly one of the best experiences to date! So the time has come to book our trip for 2017! To say I am excited is the BIGGEST understatement. I am ecstatic!
This year there are 5 of us heading off with our rucksakes to discover what Europe has to offer for 2017.
Where we're heading...
Last year we did 9 cities in mainland Europe and naturally we wanted to go somewhere was had never been before. We threw around a few ideas around and once we decided we got onto our trusty Travel Councellors to take all the hassle out of booking away from us! I would honestly be lost without Lorraine.. She does everything for us, from flights, accommodation, tickets and all we need for this trip.
Travel Agent Details: Lorraine Wynne Travel Councellor
We are doing the northern countries this year. The plan is as follows:
Although this is a slightly shorter trip then last year we are uping the travel bug with 4 flights, 6 trains and possible several boat and bicycle rides!
I personally cannot wait to go! Counting down the days already!
If you are considering interrailing this summer I highly recommend it! It is a travel experience like no other and you get such huge value for money! Give Lorraine a shout if you are thinking about it. And trust me.... Book it! You won't regret it!
Until next time,

A preview at the International Jazzfestival of Middelburg
RIK MOL introduces his FUNK ON ME Band
The young Dutch jazz trumpet player Rik Mol has released his first single entitled Funk On Me. This record, featuring Nate James, is a foretaste for the second album by Rik Mol entitled simply Funk On Me, to be released on the 10th of September 2010 after Rik Mol's Far East tour to South Korea and Japan. Later this year he hopes to make a tour along some Dutch and Belgian venues. His first album What's On Tonight was received well a few years ago. Rik Mol ( photo courtesy: Hans Koert)
A few weeks ago Rik was one of the guests at the 4th International Jazz Festival in Middelburg, in the south west part of The Netherlands, where he performed on the outdoor stage at the inner court of the ancient Middelburg abbey in the centre of town. He was the second band to play that evening - Brad Mehldau preceded him - How many bands can say that they had Brad Mehldau as their curtain-raiser? Rik Mol's Funk On Me band at the Jazz Festival of Middelburg 2010 ( photo courtesy: Hans Koert)
For Rik this concert was very special. First of all it was the first time the band played in public and of course it was important for him that this first concert was scheduled in the region where he was born and raised: the province of Zeeland in the south west part of The Netherlands.Peter Lieberom-Jan Oosting-Martijn de Laat and Rik Mol ( photo courtesy: Hans Koert)
Rik could present his group, during the previous weekend, at the VPRO TV-program Vrije Geluiden, where they played Gin Tonic Tonight and the title song Funk On Me with Nate James as the vocalist.
Love to share with you the former tune: Gin Tonic Tonight:
Raised in a small village near Goes, 's Heer Arendskerke, he got his first music lessons in the School for Music in Goes and, aged 8 years old, he was invited to study at the School for Young Talent at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, where he studied classical music on his trumpet.Nate James ( photo courtesy: Hans Koert)
At the Vrije Geluiden program he told how he became fascinated in jazz music. Als tiener luisterde ik naar MTV en TMF en ging met mijn leeftijdsgenoten naar de disco. ( = As a teenager I watched TV-stations like MTV and TMF and joined my friends to the disco). Ik kocht eens per ongeluk een jazzplaat van Wynton Marsalis en toen was ik verkocht ...... ( = Once I found a jazz record played by Wynton Marsalis and it hit me.). Ik had eigenlijk gedacht een trompetconcert van Hummel gekocht te hebben (= I thought I'd bought a trumpet concert by Hummel). De tweede plaat die ik kocht was met Randy Brecker en Michael Brecker - The Brecker Bros. ( = The second album I found was with Randy Brecker and Michael Brecker - The Brecker Bros.). Rik Mol and Lex Empress ( photo courtesy: Hans Koert)
He got his first lessons from none other than Wynton Marsalis. When he was ten or eleven years old he learned that Wynton was playing in Amsterdam. Ik heb hem gewoon opgewacht - ik was toen denk ik 10 of 11 ( = I just waited for him - I must have been ten or eleven years old). Ik woonde toen nog in Zeeland. (= I still lived in Zeeland). Ik heb toen de trein gepakt en ben bij de artiestenuitgang gaan staan. ( = I took the train to Amsterdam and waited at the stage door). Toen hij eindelijk naar buiten kwam om vier uur 's nachts zag hij me staan met mijn trompetkoffer onder de arm. Hij zei: ( = When he finally came out and saw my trumpet case, he said:) You must be my only fan - Come along with me ....... En zo is het gegaan (= And so it happened .............) He joined Wynton for almost a week.Rik Mol ( photo courtesy: Hans Koert)
Rik Mol performed on the 22nd of May, 2010 with Sven Figee – hammond, Roland Dirkse – guitar, Glen Gaddum – bass guitar, Cyril Directie – drums, Martijn De Laat - trumpet, Jan Oosting - trombone and Peter Lieberom - sax. The vocals were sung by Nate James and special guest Lex Empress.
The audience liked the funky sounds very well after the more introverted performance of Brad Mehldau - It seems as if they were one another's counterparts. Cyril Directie ( photo courtesy: Hans Koert)
Love to share with you a compilation with some fragments as recorded during the concert.
I'm anxious to hear your new album, Rik: Funk on Me.

1900 Central Park Ave.
Yonkers, New York
Youve heard of Curtos. Its salespeople boast an average of 18 years experience selling appliances and electronics (but their employer continues to send them for intensive product training). Our question to Curtos is how can an independent, family-owned business compete with all of those oversized retailers along the strip? The answer: it buys appliances with a group of 700 other dealers, so the steep discount it receives due to its multi-billion-dollar buying power is passed along to customers.

The St Patrick's Day Parade in Des Moines, one of the largest in the Midwest, is in danger this year because the organization that sponsors the parade is facing financial trouble.
The Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick, the group that puts on the parade, have received a 3-year-old bill from the city saying the organization owed $5,000 for hooding parking meters along the parade route. The organization didn't even know about the bill until recently.
“We want to keep doing the parade, but obviously there is the concern if we can continue to do the parade,” Ed Modglin, President of Friendly Sons of St. Patrick’s, told WhoTV.com. “We didn’t really have that kind of money lying around to pay for these extra expenses that kind of caught us off guard.”
While both the city and Friendly Sons of Saint Patrick believe the parade route should be safer, a new crowd control barricade would cost $25,000, money the organization doesn't have.
“We need to do something to try to keep people off the street where the floats are going and children are running out grabbing the candy," said Kandi Reidhl, assistant to the City Manager.
The city is working with the organizers to come up with a plan for all expenses to be paid. For now the parade is still on, but organizers are looking for other ways to cut costs.


Photo by myself on the subway platform at 14th Street, Union Square.
If you want to know where the kids are, get thee to the L train platform at Union Square.
The L train takes these young lads and lasses home to Williamsburg, Greenpoint and other Brooklyn neighborhoods. Everyone, male and female, is wearing a shirt two sizes too small.
The other day, a bluegrass band was the entertainment. No one looked older than 35.
I always thought I'd be limited to seeing Japan in photos. Beautiful, pristine, striking photos, of course. I've been to other parts of Asia, but for some reason Japan seemed off limits.
I don't know. Perhaps because it seems so perfect, the antithesis of New York - jam packed, urban, historic yet civilized, safe and clean.
A place full of incredible design. A place where good surprises lurked around each corner. A place full of wild food experiences. How can such a place exist?
To get me excited for the trip, Mark sent me a video (best seen in 720p). While watching I had the odd feeling like I was tuning into another planet. This incredible photographer has authored a whole series of videos using his Canon 5D digital camera, mostly of Japan.
No worries, daily posts will continue here. Mhmmm.

Been craving seitan. Health food store by my house was closed today, so hopefully they will have wheat gluten when I stop by tomorrow. Also, saw a sale on organic canned beans that I am going to hit up tomorrow. Sometimes I'm too lazy to soak and cook beans. (Dumb, I know.) I've been eating a lot of pre-made foods at home, veggie burgers mostly, and sandwiches so I need to quit being a bum and cook more often. I should plan my meals in advance more often.
Also, my work finally admitted they've been paying me too little. When they cut me a check for the difference, I'm hoping to do some shopping and take the kitties to the vet. After that, I'll either save it or do some work on my car maybe... With the increase on each check, I plan to be able to buy more organic foods and be more adventurous in my cooking. I'm no longer in debt to Visa from the move!! So woo-hoo!!

Native San Franciscans take brunch extra seriously. The freshly opened Aina in the Dogpatch is a much buzzed about new spot headed up by chef Jordan Keao. Born and raised in Hawaii, he grew up on the Big Island and worked at Google's famous Hangout Cafe before opening this vibrant and already popular location. Serving brunch daily until 2:30pm, Aina puts a Hawaiian spin on a weekend favourite, serving taro bread French toast, Portuguese sausage hash and sunny side up eggs with hearts of palm and Pico de Gallo. News about the inventive menu has travelled fast, so make reservations ahead.Image: ainasf.com
For an unbeatable lunchtime sandwich head to Outerlands. Tucked away in Outer Sunset, it's a popular brunch spot and a San Francisco staple of sorts, favoured by hip folks and their out-of-town relatives. While the brunch is great, the lunch menu is a real standout. Among the calming wooden interiors and photogenic families from all over town, Outerlands is the perfect spot to indulge in dreamy house-made bread, hugging brisket or melty cheese. And if you happen to see a turkey and eggplant sandwich on the menu, don't hesitate to order — it's anything but conventional.Image: Instagram/@outerlands
In addition to Californian cuisine, baked goods and top-notch coffee, San Francisco shines when it comes to ethnic indulgences. A perfect place to forget all about table manners and sample different flavours, Souvla is where you'll find the best Greek street food in the city. Order the chicken sandwich; a fluffy wrap struggling to contain succulent roasted chicken, navel oranges, fennel, pickled red onion and Mizithra cheese. The sides — from the juicy potatoes glistening with rotisserie drippings to the fresh Greek salad — are also excellent, and provide an original take on traditional fare. Sit back and watch suited entrepreneurs eat with their hands in abandon.Image: Kassie Borreson
On the other side of town sits another discrete and decadent establishment in the form of chef Chris Cosentino's one year old restaurant Cockscomb. Located in an industrial-looking alley, it's a local go-to for dimly-lit, carnivorous dinners and oyster samplings. Cosentino's trademarks are local butchery and an affinity for offal, so if you're looking to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, this is the place to do it. Don't miss the charcuterie plate, along with the mussels peppered with rich Nduja sausage. For a truly authentic experience, sit at the bar to witness the wood fire oven and creative plating in action.Image: cockscombsf.com
Located on a quiet side street in the Castro, Frances is the brainchild of chef Melissa Perello. Her take on seasonal Californian cuisine is intelligent and satisfying, and her relationship with vegetables and seafood is pure romance. Order the Brokaw Hass Avocado and the American Red Snapper for a mini culinary tour of California's best offerings. Intimate and stylish, Frances is a great spot for a splurge dinner. Be sure to take a look at the clever wine list as well — the curation is on point.

My wife and I recently bought a 2002 Ford Thunderbird from the dealership. I worked with Tyrone and the GM. We live in North Georgia but saw the car online. After they did a video walk through we decided to let them deliver the car with the understanding we were not obliged to purchase. The car had 38,500 miles approximately and was in good condition cosmetically considering its 18 years old. We did a test drive and found that the ABS and traction control lights would not turn off. We discussed the situation and decided to have a local dealer test it. The code indicated a wheel sensor and it would cost around 350 to fix. There were no other codes present. The GM discounted the cost of the repair and an extra 50 and we decided buy it. Later that evening we found that the illumination for the speedometer and tach were out, I figured maybe a bulb? Well it turns out on these cars there is no such thing and lighting is controlled by a module that also controls other functions such as power steering, windows etc. not a simple fix and the part is no longer made. I immediately communicated this to Tyrone and he said he’d get back to me Saturday. Well never heard back and texted that evening, was told it was a busy day and that we would hear Monday.
On Sunday we took the hardtop off and during the process I was looking for the cover for the soft top, that’s missing too, but also found a device attached to the battery, turns out it’s a GPS tracking device that is attached to a service they included from a company called Kahu, I went back through my wife’s paperwork and sure enough it was tucked into it, we didn’t realize what it was, it was only after researching I found out. I disconnected it from the vehicle and added that discovery to Tyrone via text that I didn’t want anything to do with this service and to get back to me on the lighting issue.
Well it’s Thursday and we never heard back, I didn’t expect huge things since we had signed the paperwork, but the lighting issue couldn’t be detected during the day so there was no way to know until it was dark. The tracking thing was just creepy, I don’t want some unknown company detailing her movements, the phones are enough as it is. A return call to us though would have been appropriate and certainly a good business decision. Not doing so made the process feel cheap and like they were hiding something, now we have reservations even though we tried to do our diligence before purchasing. Expecting good communication here after the fact ended up terribly disappointing and personally I’d never do business here again.


I have a problem with my Nissan Micra 2004. When I turn on the car and it is cold the motor fan starts working and the blue light on the the dashboard is on. The overdrive light starts flashing, when running the vitesse hits when the gear chage fram 1st gear to 2nd and the rpm stops working. When turning the car off it won`t turn on again. I went to an electrical technician and he changed the fuse box placed behind the left headlight but the problem wasn`t solved.
I also changed the battery but the problem was not solved. I noticed that when the problem occurs the check engine light is not on after turning the key on contact. Please can someone help me, thanks.
have the same problem?

Public education is grossly underfunded across the country and by taking action today you will help bridge the gap & empower students to speak out on behalf of themselves & their education.
I am fundraising for a march on June 2, 2019 to generate vitally needed funds in support of our students, teachers and schools as well as unite the New York City Public School community and inspire a new generation of educated activists!
Cuts in education on the federal and state level could have a disasterous impact on our schools, which is why we need to March, raise money, and take an action to help our schools today, not next year or in five or ten years!
THE TIME IS NOW!
I truly appreciate your support and if you'd like to join my team and walk with me let me know and I can get you signed up!
Thank you for your time and donation!
Just the Facts:
United Way's EducateNYC - 80% of the people without a high school degree are living below the standard of self-sufficiency. In many of our city’s neighborhoods, students do not have the support they need to graduate high school and become financially secure. In Brownsville, one of New York City’s most challenged neighborhoods, 7 in 10 children cannot read at grade level and more than half of students are not graduating high school—these rates are among the lowest in the city. EducateNYC is UWNYC’s community schools initiative that brings the supports and services needed to remove barriers and help students succeed in school.
- 148,215 NEW YORK CITY STUDENTS WERE HOMELESS IN 2017
- 6 OUT OF 10 STUDENTS ARE NOT READING ON GRADE-LEVEL

text: Many Genmaichas taste overwhelmingly of toasted rice. Aside from the obvious graininess and perhaps some nuttiness, there isn’t much to say about them. Our Genmaicha is different – it’s a balanced blend of wide, flatly folded bancha leaves and deeply toasted (and, in some cases, popped) rice kernels. The aroma of the leaves goes beyond toasted grain to reveal a light, floral complexity. The brew offers up fragrances of steamed leeks, vegetable gyoza, sushi with avocado, wakame salad (minus the sour tones) and richly nutty scents. Its flavor is a unified front of steamed green tea and toasted brown rice, with no one ingredient overpowering the other. The roasty, almost smoky taste hints at grilled carrots, wood-fire-oven-baked breads and roasted greens. The mouthfeel is dense and oily, and overall the tea is far heavier than most Japanese greens. This richness makes Genmaicha well suited for brunch and lends it to bolder, unconventional pairings, such as Margarita pizza.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has asked a judge to rule that cryptocurrency My Big Coin is a commodity subject to the agency’s regulation, according to a recent report from Reuters. The agency is currently pursuing legal action against My Big Coin (MBC) and MBC creator Randall Carter for fraud.
MBC has challenged the regulators’ jurisdiction, arguing that My Big Coin cannot be defined as a commodity.
Crater’s attorney, Katherine Cooper said, “Our argument boils down to the fact that because My Big Coin does not have future contracts or other derivatives trading on it, it is not a commodity.”
That argument has been questioned by at least one legal observer who suggested that the defense’s definition of commodity is more narrowly defined than the language found in the Commodity Exchange Act. Attorney Neal Kumar noted that the statutory definition also covers services that could be associated with futures contracts in the future.
The CFTC case alleges that MBC and its creator defrauded more than two dozen customers, using misrepresentations to misappropriate $6 million. The specific allegations accuse the defendants of making false claims about nonexistent exchange listings, the coin’s daily trading price, and an alleged partnership with MasterCard. Customers were also told that My Big Coin was backed by gold.
According to the CFTC, the defendants made payout to customers using funds acquired from other clients. The agency alleges that these activities were consistent with traditional Ponzi schemes. The CFTC announcement of the action detailed the penalties sought by the agency:
“In its continuing litigation, the CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties, restitution, rescission, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, trading and registration bans, and permanent injunctions against further violations of the federal commodities laws, as charged.”
The U.S. Judge hearing the case, Judge Rya Zobel, reportedly questioned both parties about digital currency, in an apparent effort to learn more about how they work. Reuters reported that she suggested that she will “cheerfully dive into this” and promised quick action on the defense’s motion to dismiss the action.


Ministry of Defense: MLRS “Tornado-S” used individual guidance shells in a special operation
MOSCOW, November 21 – RIA Novosti. The Department of Defense said the Tornado-S multiple launch rocket systems use high-precision rockets, each of which can be aimed at a specific point.
The department released a video showing the preparation of the combat vehicle for work: entering the firing point from a camouflaged position, pre-launch actions, firing rockets of 300 mm caliber, redeployment to avoid return fire.
“Accuracy has increased significantly, because it is now possible to send each shell to a certain point. We can distribute each shell to a certain frame,” said Ivan, head of calculations of the MLRS installation.
According to him, such guided missiles can accurately hit targets at ranges of more than 100 kilometers, especially in open areas. We are talking about lightly armored and armored vehicles, recessed points, as well as command and personnel vehicles, air defense batteries, bunkers and other purposes.
As stated in the Department of Defense, each projectile is guided through satellite systems.
“Tornado-S” also received an automatic fire control and guidance system, a topographic positioning system, a gyro compass – all this made it possible to reduce the time required to complete the mission. In addition, the area of destruction has increased: “Smerch” hit an area similar to nine football fields before with a full salvo, and “Tornado-S” – with twelve.

Headaches are a very common complaint that we work with at Village Remedies in our Balmain and Sydney CBD clinics. It is estimated that up to 7 million Australians experience tension headaches and 4.9 million suffer from migraines. This page is a resource for those with chronic headaches. It is intended for educational purposes only and should only be followed with the guidance of your acupuncturist or other health professional.
First up it is important to realise that severe headaches can be a sign of something more sinister and should be investigated by your doctor. If you have any of the following symptoms, please check in with your doctor:
Chronic (3 months or more) and worsening symptoms
Abrupt or severe symptoms, worse than you’ve ever experienced
Combined with fever and stiff neck
Combined with other disturbances such as confusion, dizziness, seizures, impaired vision, weakness, numbness, and/or difficulty speaking
You’ve recently had a head injury
If you have any of the above, or are just in doubt, please check in with your doctor. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have something sinister, but it is better to rule those things out.
Assuming that is all clear, you might want to see how acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help. At Village Remedies, we usually find that headaches are closely related to the neck, meaning that tension and dysfunction of joints and muscles of the neck are key contributing factors to the experience of headaches. While there may be other factors contributing to your pain, the neck and general posture is where we start. We will also look at how we can help things like stress, sleep, breathing, hormonal influences and digestion which can all impact and contribute to headaches as well.
Below is a reference to some of the key exercises, strategies and advice we give clients when working with headaches. Please note that the phases are not neccessarily linear and will cross over according to your situation. These are combined with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine treatment aimed at pain relief, correcting imbalanced areas of the body and supporting your overall health. Our goal at Village Remedies is to treat you as a whole person to support you to feel happier, healthier and free from chronic headaches. Book a treatment with us online here or contact us for more information.
PHASE 1: PAIN RELIEF
Our first step with treatment is to try to get your pain more under control. We predominantly use a "distal" style of acupuncture which means we use points away from the painful area (i.e. no points in your neck or head) to stimulate your body to release it's natural pain relief and to start correcting imbalances contributing to your headaches. The benefit of this approach is that there is less risk of aggravating the pain by needling into already irritated tissue.
Outside of the clinic, there are a few things you can do to help relieve the pain of a headache such as acupressure (see point examples below), a heat pack applied to the back of your neck, tiger balm rubbed into the temple, or over the counter pain relief (see your pharmacist).
These strategies will only offer short term relief. For long term improvement, you will need to correct the various things contributing to your headaches that we'll go through over the rest of this page. However, even when working on long term improvement, there will often be periods of exacerbation, so use these techniques as needed while working on the other things.
PHASE 2: RESTORING NECK MOBILITY
Your practitioner will take you through a series of range of motion tests to identify any mobility issues in the neck that may be contributing to your headaches. Essentially, the tighter your neck muscles are and the stiffer your neck joints, the more likely you are to have headaches. Once we have a baseline for your range of motion, your practitioner will use acupuncture to begin restoring healthy movement. Here are some individual stretches and exercises that you can use at home and work to continue opening up your neck, followed be simple range of motion routine (see below for videos).
The first stretch will help mobilise your upper neck joints and the second targets a key muscle responsible for neck dysfunction. For both of these stretches, take your neck to the point of feeling a comfortable stretch and hold it for 15-60 seconds each side. It should not be painful, if it is, stop and consult with your practitioner. Aim to do these stretches 3 times daily.
For the chin tuck exercise, do 10 repetitions a time, aiming for 5 times per day. If you find your neck muscles fatiguing or becoming painful, stop and consult with your practitioner. The chin tuck is also part of the neck mobility routine which you can use throughout the day to help offset desk posture.
PHASE 3: STRENGTHENING THE NECK & UPPER BACK
Often when areas of the body become over tight, there will be corresponding areas that are weak. A common postural dysfunction called "upper cross syndrome" occurs for many of us with neck pain and headaches. This is essentially where the muscles in the front of the neck and chest become over contracted (very common with desk work and looking on our phones for too long), causing muscles in the upper back and neck to become weaker, over lengthened and fatigued. Your practitioner will assess you for these imbalances and use acupuncture to work on where it is needed.
Key areas to address are tension in the pec muscles which roll the shoulders forward, pulling the neck and head forward, and weakness in the lower trapezius muscle responsible for helping bring back the shoulder blades. It is also important to keep up your chin tuck exercise to correct forward head posture (see videos below).
Start with a pec stretch for 15-60 seconds in each direction (upper, middle and lower variations) and each side. Follow up with one or both of the lower trap activation exercises for 15 repetitions each time. Aim to do this 3 times daily. Continue aiming for 5 times daily with the chin tuck exercise.
PHASE 4: IMPROVING POSTURE & MOVEMENT
The neck and head does not move in isolation to the rest of the body, which is why it is important to look at your posture and how you move overall. Some of the key areas that can impact your neck posture will be mid to upper back tension, shoulder tension (particularly shortening of the latissimus dorsi) and tension in the hip flexors throwing off the balance of your entire torso. Your practitioner will use acupuncture to help address these imbalances, but here are some simple exercises you can do at home to keep improving.
With the thoracic decompression, if you are comfortable, you can stay on a segment for a couple of minutes (up to 3 minutes) before rolling down to the next spot, keeping within the area of your ribs. Take your time and focus on easing into each spot along the thoracic spine with relaxed breathing. If you find yourself holding your breath, that's probably a sign that it's too intense and you need to back off. This is a nice one to do at the end of a day, particularly if you're a desk worker. WIth the other stretches, use the general advice of 15-60 seconds per side each time. If you find either of these areas particularly tight, you may want to do the stretch a few times per day until it feels more comfortable.
LIFESTYLE & OTHER FACTORS
There are other areas that can contribute to neck dysfunction and headaches that you may not have thought about. Here are some of the things your practitioner will check in with and work with if necessary:
Breathing - if your sinuses are often congested, live with asthma or have just developed shallow breathing habits, this can contribute to neck tension in a major way. It is very common to breathe too much in our upper chest which overstains our neck muscles and overstimulates our sympathetic nervous system (i.e. our stress response) which increases our sensitivity to pain and tightens muscles in general. Your practitioner can use acupuncture and/or herbs to help address breathing difficulties.
Sleep - sufficient quality sleep is crucially important for your health overall. In particular for headaches, lack of quality sleep and recovery can increase you pain sensitivity and muscle tension. Sleep difficulties include issues with falling asleep, waking during the night, vivid dreams, night sweats, and/or waking unrefreshed in the mornings. Your practitioner can use acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine to help with sleep. Also see our 3 part sleep series here.
Digestion - a healthy digestive system is key for overall health and the absorption of nutrients that you need for healthy muscle and nerve function. Inflammation in the gut has also been linked to systemic inflammation. Your practitioner will check in with things like bloating, reflux, cramping, bowel movments and appetite to get an idea of the health of your digestive system and use acupuncture and Chinese medicine to help where needed.
Stress - this affects us all in different ways. We tend to have an association that being "stressed" means we're overwhelmed and not coping well with what's going on. This is not the stress we're talking about. Even things that we would consider to be good or normal, like being busy with a new job or waking early to get our kids ready for school, the body will perceive as a stressor and respond with our stress response (also the fight/flight response or sympathetic nervous system). This is useful and necessary to get things done, but if we get caught up, our body's become less efficient at switching into our recovery state (also the rest/digest response or parasympathetic nervous system). If we become more "sympathetic dominant" it can cause disruption to all of the areas listed above, as well as increase our pain sensitivity and tighten our muscles (especially our neck and shoulders). This is a key area to address. We use acupuncture to help start training your body to switch into a parasympathetic recovery state and Chinese herbs can also help regulate this.
Desk Work - many of us have to sit or stand at a desk for work which is often a key aggravating factor to posture, tension and pain. Unfortunately we can't all just quit and retire to an island where we have daily massages on the beach. See the video below for some advice to help manage your posture at work. Also use your favourite exercises from the above phases (such as the neck mobility routine) throughout the day to help break that posture habit.
