Honestly, any dish with Potatoes!!!
I love corned beef, cabbage, carrots, and boiled potatoes with fresh parsley and melted butter.
Oh my goodness Mary! These pictures all made me very hungry!! I bet the recipes are scrumptious!! I just love all the eye candy over here!! Hugs to Chloe and Gracie!! xo Jeanne, Chloe and LadyBug
I haven’t eaten much Irish food – I guess that’s why I need a cookbook.
I agree with the first poster, potatoes! Love potatoe soup:)
It’s all about the potatoes for me! Or soda bread fresh out of the oven with butter. I have the shamrock punch ;o) I’ll have to make a shamrock salad!
Corn beef and cabbage! Yum!
Corned beef & cabbage with potatoes & carrots done together with a pickling spice…leftovers are always better…
Anything that goes with a Guinness!
Wow, beautiful pics! There’s nothing like Irish
Soda bread toasted with some jam…or scones, both with tea of course…thanks for sharing.
Pot of Gold Irish Potatoe Soup , but would love to try many more, just do not know how to cook them.
Bangers & mash with Guinness gravy! Just need to know how to make it at home! Love the clover cutout biscuit topper for the stew!
My husband makes the BEST Irish potatoes….which aren’t Irish and they aren’t potatoes. Wonderfully sweet treats with cream cheese and rolled in a cinnamon mixture…..YUM
What a great giveaway! Oh…I’ll take anything that goes with a good Guinness gravy! This book would definitely please my son’s Irish fiancee!
Shepherd’s pie – and I subscribe. The pictures are fantastic.
Does a Black & Tan count???:@) Ok, if it has to be real food… How about Shepard’s Pie, only I use hamburger instead of lamb. Thanks for the fun give-away and all of the Green Inspiration Mary:@)
Wow, that’s tough….my favorite Irish food…..I’m a descendent of Scotch-Ulsters, so I grew-up on irish food! I guess my favorite is Guinness Stout Beef Stew with Irish Soda Bread. YUMMY!!!! Super giveaway, and I hope I win!
I love all of your shamrock stuff, especially the bread and towels!
Visiting from Met Monday.
Have a great day!
My favorite irish food is shepards pie
I am an email subscriber to home is where the boat is
Potato and leek soup. Love it.
I love Shepherd’s Pie
I follow you via email
Love the rustic foods of Ireland!
So far I have to say that I absolutely love Irish Soda Bread (the carboholic that I am), but I cannot wait to try your spinach pesto mashed potatoes. They look wonderful. And I love the idea for those spinach 4-leaf clovers!!
Oh too many to choose!! Love a good Shepherd’s Pie, but who doesn’t love potatoes any style!! And Guinness to use and consume, why wouldn’t a gal?! Love this site! I’m a brand new follower!!
Of course I love making Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes to give as gifts. My favorite Irish food is a Lamb Stew recipe I found a few years ago. The preparation is very therapeutic and the end result is fragrant and delicious– worthy of a beautiful tablescape! I am Anglo Irish and my husband is Catholic Irish so together we represent our ancestors’ homeland fairly well.
Saddly can’t say I have had the pleasure of trying many irish foods, live up north in an area influenced by german and Norwegian settlers. But one of my favorite meals to make each year is corned beef with potatoes, cabbage and carrots. Maybe I’ll get lucky and win this beautiful book and give my taste buds a new thrill.
Shepherd’s Pie or Irish Stew<3
Ps…of course I follow you by email. Thank you for all you share.
I love a good Irish soda bread but everything you showed looks so delicious.
I’m also a FB follower.
Yum! I’m a subscriber and and would love to be entered in the giveaway! I was in Ireland not too long ago and fell in love with the food! (and came back a bit heavier) I’ve been trying to recreate some of my favorites at home. ( I just featured Guinness truffles on my blog.) Thanks for sharing these! I always look forward to your delightful posts!
Mt favorite Irish food is Irish Stew with Soda Bread. Love your blog….pictures are always beautiful!
I’m part Irish and we had corned beef and cabbage yesterday! You are so clever Mary. I love how you created the four-leafed clover from the spinach leaf using the hole punch!
Left over corned beef and potatoes made into homemade corned beef hash,
makes a great breakfast or dinner the next day.
Potato soup made with a little guinness
Beautiful post! I love all the lovely greens and the food is mouth watering……Christine
Lamb stew is my favorite, not only do I follow your blog, I tell everyone at every social gathering about your blog complete with tablescape, recipes and humor. I would love to win the cookbook. I found the 4 leaf clover punch at hobby lobby on Friday,with a 40% coupon it was $ 7.99
Small green ramekins from world market and my spinach mashed potatoes
Should woo my 2 year old grandson into eating spinach,
As always, your photography is stunning, Mary.
My favorite Irish foods would include potatoes and cabbage! :) Thank you for a great giveaway!
I follow Home is Where the Boat is via email and Facebook! :) Thanks again for a great giveaway!
I could go for any of these foods mentioned right now. Hard to pick a favorite but a slice of Irish soda bread would be my favorite today. Thanks for getting us started thinking about St Patrick’s Day and Ireland and a great giveaway. I am not Irish but love to learn about customs and cuisines.
I am an email follower.
What a wonderful post, all fabulous images!
Mary, do you know if they have a shamrock punch, not a 4 leaf clover?
I would love to get one!
I will have to start practicing the Siege of Ennis and Stack of Barley to get ready for the big day!

I am so glad that I found you and follow you! Your posts are a mini-meditation break in my day. Irish food? Irish Soda Bread with currants.
I’m all about the Irish Soda Bread!
My favorite is soda bread with kerrygold butter; o raisins or caraway in the bread please. What an awesome give away; the photos from that book are absolutely beautiful!
Hi there, what a wonderful giveaway! I love all things Irish because all four of my grandparents came to the US from southern IRELAND and I don’t know how come I don’t have a single cookbook. I love Corned Beef and cabbage but that is more of an American dish. I love Irish Soda bread too. I subscribe to you. I hope I win! Thanks for the chance. Noreen
I feel like I should be Irish, my husband and I were both born on St. Patrick’s Day. Yes you read right…so I hope I have the luck of the Irish and win this cookbook. I love potatoes in any shape or form. Thanks for the chance.
A good Irish Soda Bread is my favorite along with Corned Beef and Cabbage! Thanks for the opportunity to win this lovely Irish cookbook! I love cookbooks and experimenting with recipes! Love your blog and photos. I look forward to your emails! They make my day brighter.
I have a wonderful Corned beef recipe I have used for over 20 years. I marinates in wonderful spices. I always enjoy my Irish food with a Guiness, YUM.
I am an email follower. Thank you for such wonderfull ideas and recipes.
I would have to go with Corned Beef and cabbage! I haven’t had it in years since the hubby is not fond of it at all, but I crave it and have splurged and made a small batch for myself a few times in the past. Thank you for this great opportunity since the cookbook sounds wonderful!
Love corned beef and cabbage with parsnips, carrots and boiled potatoes. I don’t know why I just make it once a year.
I love a great Irish Stew especially during the cold and dreary winter months. The wonderful aromas from this dish throughout the house make me feel warm and cozy.
Potatoes of any kind, but corned beef and cabbage…love love love. PS, my favorite color is green!!! email@example.com
I am a follower of your via email! Have a green day! firstname.lastname@example.org
I’m not fond of corn beef and cabbage so last year I made a Guinness Stew. But I have to admit my favorite part was the Irish Soda Bread.
I am a email follower and I love all your posts. Especially the garden shed posts. I adore potatoes of any kind. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, Irish Soda Bread served with Potato Soup. With Irish ancestors on both sides of the family, anything Irish from lace, to Beleek, to crystal, to Irish knits and woolens is a must around our house.
Sounds like a fun cookbook…and I love the clover leaf punch!
We always have corned beef and I make cabbage and eggs noodles with Irish Soda bread and Kerry Gold Butter. Loving your blog :)
Potatoes with Irish butter — nothing can beat that! :)
Oh my! That could be enough ideas for a whole month! What a post. Everything is so beautiful and so delicious looking. You always blow me away! What clever, clever ideas. I am lucky to remember to wear green not to mention pulling out all the stops like this – well done, my elegant friend!
as always i love your pics, my favorite are your mosaics, love the castle center, so fab, so you!
I love everything Irish. Your pictures, ideas and crafts are just the best.
I look so forward to your blog. Thank you
We enjoy a wee bit of Irish cooking with a wonderful homemade potato soup, Irish stew, and Irish soda bread thanks to recipes from my Irish friends! I have a recipe from an Irish pioneering ancestor from the 1800’s written up in a cook book, but the ingredients aren’t anything we would consider palatable today! It would be interesting to see what is a comin’ down th’ pike in this cookbook! Better yet, I just love all your wonderful tablescapes, seasonal decor, and fresh new ideas! I follow them on FB, via email, and will now follow you on Pinterest since I just started pinning!
That’s easy….IRISH MIST! Happy Paddy’s Day!
My Pinterest name is ‘Sparkle and Light’, btw! I’m sure you’ll see that sprinkled all over your photos and recipes!
Well, maybe should not admit it but Baileys Irish Cream over ice! Had Baileys Irish Cream Pie at an authentic Irish Restaurant once and thought I’d in all the delicious goodness.
My favorite Irish dish is Irish Stew made with lamb.
Shepherd’s Pie is our favorite Irish dish!
I know this is probably a lot of peoples choice. But I love
Corned Beef and Cabbage with potatoes and carrots also…
This is my absolute FAVORITE…
My favorite dish is colcannon. We were camping in Myrtle Beach back in the early 70’s and were invited to a potluck that some of the other campers had put together. We tasted this dish, loved it and tried to find out what it was. No one knew who made it. I went to the library and figured out what it was, wrote the recipe down and have continued to cook it all these years. I make corned beef but my potatoes and cabbage are in the colcannon :-)
My favorite Irish food would be the meatballs with Guinness Gravy that I had at an Irish Pub in Portland, Oregon. Delicious.
I am a follower by email. Thanks for the wonderful posts, and this give away opportunity.
I am a follower by email. Great giveaway, thanks.
Corn Beef and Cabbage is a great dish for St. Pat’s Day, and a favorite.
Many years ago a good Irish friend introduced me to brown flour Irish Soda Bread and I have not had any as good since that time so I would love to enjoy the receipe from The Complete Irish Pub Receipe Book. When we spent a winter at Cape Cod we loved eating in the Pubs as well as when visiting our daughter in Boston. Thank you for the giveaway and most of all for the mouthwatering pictures you put with this post.
That’s an easy one: Irish Coffee :)
Irish stew or potato soup would be my favorites but I’d love to try more. I will if I win that cookbook! Thanks for the opportunity.
I am also an email follower, love it when I see new posts from you in my inbox!
Potatoes of course!
Any style, any way, come to my belly to stay!!
Honestly though, my nan came over to England from Ireland when she was in her 20’s and never cooked anything to pass on to us grand kids!
I did live with her for a few months when I was older though and I remember her making a fantastic stew and Shepard’s Pie, I regret not getting her recipes!
This of course being the reason I would be so grateful to have an Irish cookbook in my life!
Wonderful blog by the way, I will be following!
My mother made the best Pea Soup, served us Brown Bread and made wonderful Potato Pancakes served with applesauce. I miss her many delicious dishes. This blog just spoke to me, she passed years ago and her ashes are in Sweet Ireland. I would LOVE to be the winner of this book. It would be a treasure to go through and make some of those wonderful recipes.
Your blog has been a wonderful part of my day since I stumbled across it before the Christmas holidays. When I open your email it just opens a door of comfort and relaxation for the mind. Thanks for always taking the most beautiful pictures that just speak words all on their own. I hope I win!!!!!
I live in a very Irish community where every pub/restaurant is Irish and the local supermarket has it own Irish aisle. I would have to say that Shepherd’s Pie is my favorite Irish food. Happy St. Patrick’s Day :)
I follow you here and on facebook
Irish Car Bomb Brownies?!?! I laughed out loud when I read that name :-) Anything with potatoes makes me ridiculously happy–this cookbook looks amazing! I am an email subscriber, Mary…. thank you for the lovely giveaway!
Thank you for the giveaway! I love following you, too. I so look forward to your posts and the lovely way you do tablescapes. I really enjoy hearing about your life on the lake. Also, books. I wish I had more time to read, but you have started me down the road to the garden fairies. I love them. I collect cookbooks and this one looks marvelous.
Definitely potato soup but I’m sure I would have to try the Irish Car Bomb brownies!
Soda bread and anything with potatoes would be my crave. Beautiful pictures and cookbook, get me excited for my trip to Ireland this fall. Thank you for offering such a lovely give a way. I am a new follower via email. Love it! I’m already hooked.
We love corned beef on rye, but those yummy pictures make me want to try some new recipes. Thanks for the giveaway!
You must have a bit of the leprechaun in you… what creative ideas for St. Paddy’s Day! My very favorite Irish food is Potato soup! Thanks Mary, for the chance to win a cookbook!
You can’t beat a good potato soup with lots of cheese. And chocolate for dessert is a must! I’m a follower too!
I really do love “boiled dinner” (corned beef and cabbage), but lamb stew is the bomb! Thank you for all the thought and beautiful photos you post. Coming here is always like a little vacation.
PS. I subscribe to, and read, your daily emails and then follow your “read more” link to here.
OMG I’m # 111 to comment on this post today. Wow! You are a Rock Star, Mary. And for good reason!!! You are inspiring me to start thinking green. ‘-)
PS Just when I was thinking spring, our weather turned windy and cold. Not working in the garden this week. ‘-)
Oh Mary, I’d love a chance to win the cookbook! I’m already a follower of yours. Hmmmm my favorite Irish dish is shepherd’s pie.
Car Bomb Brownies??!?!?!?!?!?! Seriously?!??!?!?! That’s wild! Man, I wish I could travel to Ireland! It just looks so beautiful, and the food photos you posted look fabulous…especially the soup in the bread bowl!!!
I love corned beef with my homemade mustard sauce. I make corned beef in the crockpot, letting it simmer in Guinness. I have long wanted this cookbook. Fingers crossed that I win! :-)
I follow by email.
I also follow via Facebook.
What a lovely cookbook, Mary! If I don’t win it I’m going to look for it to buy, Mary. I’m half Irish–my maiden name begins with a O’ so yes, I love traditional Irish cusine like Boxty, black pudding and bangers and mash. I’ve visited Ireland many times, in fact I’ve seen the castle that is in the midle of one of your clolages twiice..it is Dunluce castle in Northern Ireland.. Truly a beautiful place! I LOVE your idea of making decorative shamrocks usinf fresh spinach leaves and a punch– that is sucha clever idea!
I’m hoping I have “luck o the Irish” and win this book! :) Thanks!
I didn’t know you had a facebook page, Mary! I just susbscribed!
I subscribe to your blog and it’s an absolute delight! I love a hot piece of Irish Soda bread and a cup of tea out of my Beleek tea cup. Colcannon is a close second. Thank you for a lovely display of all things Irish.
Sent from my iPhone
goodness, Irish stew, made the day before.
Irish Stew is great. Great pictures!!!
Steel cut oats of course-from Ireland.
Growing up we always celebrated St Paddy’s day with a meal of daisy ham (instead of the corned beef), potatoes,carrots and cabbage. To this day it is still my favorite Irish meal.
Mary…great giveaway…St. Patrick’s Day is so special to us as my dad is of Irish descent and my granddaughter was born on St. Patrick’s Day..I say it was “divine intervention”….I made those “pesto mashed potatoes” last year….but with a twist…I made them with spinach…they turned out great…You know that I am a happy follower of yours and really like you on Facebook!!!….
I love Shepperd’s Pie and so many other Irish dishes. Since I’m married to an Irishman (Patrick), I would love to make some special dishes for him from this book. We frequent a local Irish Pub and love the atmoshphere and food. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book!
I just HAD to pop in to tell you how much I LOVE your St. Patrick’s Day creations, Mary!! Please don’t put me in the drawing, as I’ve already won my pretty Chickadee teapot & plates from you. I’d be embarrassed to win again.
You always have such wonderfully creative posts. I’m GREEN with Envy! LOL
I love Irish food! (My Grandmother was a Quinn after all!) Even if I don’t win the cookbook I will buy it. Wow, its gorgeous. And so are your pictures! My favorite Irish food is Boxty. Fried and potatoes = YUM! And lamb stew, made with Guinness. I subscribe and follow you on Pinterest. Does that get me an extra entry?
Corned Beef & Cabbage is my all time favorite, closely followed by potatoes fixed anyway
OMG. Oh yes yes yes I would absolutely FREAK OUT if I won this cookbook – this post makes me deliriously happy!!!!! Please enter me, definately!
Yay, thank you for the opportunity! I already just looking at this post got some great ideas, I almost always host a St. Pat’s tea party!
I am Irish on both sides so I am feeling LUCKY!!
I have this cookbook on my want list, please let me win!!!!
And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your website! Stunningly beautiful!
Shepard’s Pie is always a favorite, but a good ole potato is a dinner must.
I follow via email everyday. Your website is absolutely stunning this morning.
I am an email subscriber, great giveaway! Thanks.
No question, shepherds pie – love your website
I had the joy of visiting Ireland and while there my favorite food was the most incredible salmon with lemon dill sauce that I had in Galway. I still get cravings for the sauce. I also enjoy lamb chops and lamb stew. Ireland is not only in my blood, but in my heart.
Colcannon & Corned beef with cabbage.
A few of the names for the recipes are very familiar as my mother was Irish and cooked these simple foods. My favourite is soda bread, of course, brown with added seeds and nuts for increased nutritional value. I do enjoy your blog, all of the stunning photos and much inspiration for me, to help create a delightful home. Thankyou for all of your energy in presenting this beautiful blog. Sincerely, Patricia ps. I love your furry ones.
Poundies or Champ is my favorite Irish food. It is a comfort food that I ate as a child and make when I want to go home to those wonderful memories. It is mashed potatoes with green onion, with a “well” of butter in the center…yum! The mashed potatoes are eaten from around the outer edge of the well and dipped into the butter.To champ means to bruise, pound or smash, hence the term poundies. Whoever said, “Don’t play with your food” never had poundies.
My family loves the traditional Irish corned beef dinner so much that I often buy several corned beefs this time of year when they are on sale.They keep unopened in the refrigerator or freezer for quite a while. I would love to learn to make some other classic Irish dishes with your cookbook. Thanks!
I am a follower of yours by email. Love your blog.
Love to enter your giveaway. My family love colcannon and we have it alot.
My favorite Irish food is the Golden Irish Potato Soup!YUM YUM
Love colcannon and for the first time last year, for St. Pat’s Day, I made a delicious Irish Soda Bread. I do have Irish heritage which is proven by my love of potatoes, I guess. I have followed your beautiful and informative blog longer than I can remember!
I am Irish by marriage, and I can’t think of any Irish food that I don’t like, but I especially love colcannon and Irish soda bread. I love to cook and that book looks excellent.
I just discovered your blog today when I was looking at a friend’s Pinterest items on Facebook. I am now signed up for an email subscription and I liked your page on Facebook.
Your photos are gorgeous and your idea are so inspiring.
My husband and I actually live on a boat so when I initially saw the title of your blog, I assumed you did also. =0)
I look forward to your blog entries, thanks for doing it.
Mary, you are amazing!! I have signed up for an email subscription and I liked your page on FB. Everybody needs a new cookbook and an Irish one is perfect!! I am in love with Irish cheese this year… :-)
Your blog is a great source of inspiration to me. I love corned beef and cabbage and I love your blog.
Laughing at Pinky’s comment about her Irish mom being a terrible cook! My Irish mom wasn’t a fancy cook, but a good one, and made a mean mile high apple pie.
If you pick Retta’s name, you can send it to me. I know she would want it that way, LOL!
Corned Beef and Cabbage, Irish Soda Bread, and Bangers and Mash!
Leek and potato soup.
I love the taste and tradition of corned beef and cabbage with red potatoes and carrots! When my children were young I would get up early and paint lepercaun footprints in our courtyard for our children to follow to find the pot of gold (gold wrapped candies in a flowerpot I spray painted.) One year my husband decided to let me sleep in and he in turn painted the footprints in the yard. My son caught him “in the act” and exclaimed:”Don’t tell mom you are doing this; she thinks the lepercaun is real.” I will always cherish that delighful memory.
Thank you for all the beautiful posts you post. It’s always a blessing to open my email and to find a new Home is Where the Boat Is posting. You encourage and inspire me. Blessings to you Dear One!
I would LOVE to win that charming and delicious cookbook!! I do love many things irish and we have always celebrated with an irish dinner on St.Pats Day. We always had Irish Stew and Soda Bread. So sign me up Mary…it would be such a delight to win. Nann

Mmmm, it all looks so delicious!
Looking forward to trying the Irish Apple Cake………with your tweaks!! My husband’s family came from Ireland, and we spent several days attempting to trace roots back in the late 80’s with little success. We loved the countryside and people however, and enjoyed lunch with the mayor in County Monaghan. Love your blog and the beautiful photography!!
Guinness cupcakes with Bailey’s frosting!!
It’s hard to pick a favorite,I love Irish Stew made with lamb and also Sheppherd’s Pie but all time favorite is Corned Beef dinner.
What a beautiful cookbook! Makes me want to go to Ireland tomorrow, but since I can’t, cooking those recipes would be the next best thing! Love the visuals! Sigh…
Beautifully illustrated, approachable and enticing recipes! We live in rural Nova Scotia with a bounty of wild apples that are tart and perfect for your Irish Apple Cake recipe, that I am going to make for afternoon tea today! Thanks!!!!!!
Irish Potato Soup!

Oh gosh, potatoes. I will eat them in any way, shape, or form. I also love me some soda bread!
This cookbook looks great. I’d love to win it. And yes, I do follow this blog. We do a big dinner on St Patty’s day, the works and I make a sweet/hot mustard that is so good w/the corned beef! That apple cake looks wonderful. I’m definitely going to make it. Thanks for the tip about the extra apple!
Irish potato candy ;) beautiful pictures looks like a wonderful cookbook.
I subscribe via email
These sound wonderful! The cookbook would be a great addition. I follow the blog and look fwd to it! I share it with a dear friend.
Mary, I have truly enjoyed all your posts. You have such a talent at making things beautiful. I have been inspired by all of your postings, but as I am Irish & my dear husband was Scottish, I absolutely love your St. Paddy’s Day posts. About 20 years ago we started making corned beef & cabbage (& potatoes, carrots, rutabega & onions) for a St. Pat’s Day Celebration at our church & we still continue it today. It would sure be nice to win that beautiful cookbook to be able to try some other Irish recipes. I hope that your St. Patrick’s Day Celebration is delightful & delicious. Pat
That apple cake is calling to me!
This looks like a wonderful cookbook, Mary, and I would so appreciate having my name entered into the drawing! What a nice giveaway!!

The Irish apple cake looks delicious. Can’t wait to make it for st Patrick’s day
Your food, and blog are so inspiring! As a person of Irish heritage, who doesn’t have much experience with the cuisine, this book would be fantastic! My 11 year old son loves to cook with me and says he’d be right there next to me as my sous chef!
Can’t wait to try the recipes from the cookbook…tastes of heaven here on earth..
Wow, this is tough….my favorite Irish food…..I’m Irish and so is my wife, so we have a huge bash for the 2 families at our home! I grew-up on irish food! I guess my favorite is Guinness Stout Shepard’s pie with Irish Soda Bread. YUMMY!!!! Super giveaway, and I hope I win!
When I visited Reland it was impossible to get a bad meal. Food was wonderful
Oh my gosh, everything looks delicious! My grandmother was from Ireland and we always had corned beef and cabbage along with potatoes and carrots every St. Patrick’s Day. Such wonderful memories! I would love to win this cookbook and try everything! I follow your blog and love it. Some day I would love to have a boat house as lovely as yours, but for now I will dream! Thanks!
Wow, I can taste that cake! My husband and I both have plenty of Irish blood in us, and I would love to have that cookbook to put some lovely Irish food in us. Corned beef has to be our favorite, I’d say.
My friend Linda is heading to Ireland in August. I’m going to make this for her tomorrow afternoon when we have tea. I would love to win the cookbook, because I love to cook and bake and share with my friends.
My favorites are Corned Beef and Cabbage, Shepherd’s Pie, and Irish Soda Bread. :) Thank you for the opportunity to win this gorgeous book and as ALWAYS your pictures are awesome! You’re my favorite blogger! :)

Hello! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue.
If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
These soups look fabulous! Definitely going on St. Patty’s Day menu this year. Yum!
Yum! What a wonderful gift! Should I win, I would give this cookbook to my best friend who is Irish and lost her mom this year.
Oh dear, too late for the giveaway :( you always have the best photos and ideas. You should publish a book! I don’t think I’ve ever had any Irish food, unless potatoes count.

Universal design has long been embraced by businesses eager to create safer, healthier and more supportive facilities for their employees and visitors, regardless of age or ability. The challenge for many is how.
Uniting people through play. That’s the idea behind an installation representing Buffalo as part of the Cities Exhibition of the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism in South Korea, with the theme of “Collective City.”
As part of a multi-year initiative in Madrid, associate professor of architecture Joyce Hwang will join an international group of designers to explore how design can create a new discourse on climate change in the context of public space.
Architecture professor Joyce Hwang's "Life Support" is a living art sculpture that transforms a dead, 400-year-old tree into functional habitat for bats, birds and reptiles. It was installed over the summer in an ecological offset zone in Canberra, Australia.

When protecting the guilty might be the best option
Posted by Dave Bath on 2011-01-17
Another handover of evidence to Wikileaks about misbehaviour in the banking system, another set of questions arising about the desirability of redaction before publication, another chance to see if Wikileaks is playing for short-term fame, or long-term reform.
The release of the evidence of gross tax evasion should be geared to forcing governments to tax action to close the holes, not make headlines dissimilar from celebrity gossip columns.
How might good long-term results for the public be best achieved?
Legal actions by private individuals, objecting to publication of privacy-related information would be a costly distraction. Those individuals should have their names removed before publication.
It’s not so clear-cut with corporations, however much corporations claim the privileges of real persons these days.
It’s not so clear-cut with politicians, where there is a good chance the funds involved have been siphoned from the public purse.
Even with private individuals, there may be cause to release names, if the funds are patently the proceeds of crimes: those of drug barons for example.
The main game should be to demonstrate the scale of the systemic problems and force reform – both in this new instance of Swiss bank dodginess that prevents states getting their dues, and in the information soon to be released (probably from Bank of America) about gross fraud by executives and boards.
With supression of names of individuals, the news is about the sums of money involved and the methods used. If those funds are huge, bigger than nation states expect, politicians might see an opportunity to go after such monies, spend them on their citizens, improve their chances for re-election.
The funds detailed in the leaked documents are probably not enough to make a difference to the politicians – but the examples, pointing to the likelyhood of massive sums, hidden now and in the future if loopholes aren’t closed, might galvanize changes to laws and enforcement approaches.
There is probably some good to be gained by forcing banks to release information on accounts and transactions every year – even if those accounts are anonymized. But where would the financial institutions send such data?
To my mind, there is a need for an intergovernmental body, a clearinghouse for this type of information, the data might be anonymized, might be prevented as evidence in a prosecution, but can certainly provide a hint that something is wrong, and worth pursuing.
Let’s hope the Wikileaks staff are going for change not celebrity.

If you’ve wondered why there have been whispers of Rajon Rondo being on the trading block for about a year, we might have an example of why.
(We’re not talking a Rondo for Chris Paul trade here, that is just smart basketball by the Celtics and Danny Ainge. The Celtics have listened to far more offers than that.)
This story comes the Boston Herald (via the mighty Ziller at SBN) and takes place between games two and three of the Miami Heat playoff series that eliminated the Celtics last spring:
According to multiple sources, Rondo’s errors were being pointed out when he arose and began discussing the mistakes of his teammates. Loudly. Using harsh language.
Coach Doc Rivers got up and fired back, and Rondo threw a bottle that shattered the video screen. He bolted from the practice facility and was prevented from returning when he tried later.
Maturity and temperament questions hang out there about Rondo (and have since he was at Kentucky). That is why Boston will listen to offers and why other teams are hesitant to give good ones.
It should also be noted that more NBA players than I could count — big name ones — had that reputation but grew out of it over time. These players enter the league just out of their teens (if that) and for some of us — many of us — it took a while to grow out of our youthful mistakes. NBA players are on that same curve. Rondo sounds like one of those guys when reflecting back on what happened (read the Herald story).
If Rondo does mature, then the Celtics should not trade him. Except for maybe CP3….
Tommy Hawkins passed away recently at the age of 80.
The former NBA player was the first black athlete to earn All-America honors in basketball at Notre Dame (he still holds the school’s total rebounds record), was drafted in the first round, and went on to have a 10-year NBA career playing for the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers as well as the Cincinnati Royals. Los Angeles fans may also remember him as the long time director of communications for the Los Angeles Dodgers after his playing days ended.
The NBA put together this well done video look back at Hawkins’ career.
Isaiah Thomas said he expects to be ready for the Celtics’ training camp next month. The guard’s All-NBA season came to an early end in the playoffs when he aggravated a labral tear in his right hip initially suffered back in March. At least the injury did not require surgery.
Players are also about the worst judges of when they will recover from an injury. They pretty much all think they are invincible and will be healthy faster than doctors predict.
Coaches tend to be more pragmatic. Take Boston’s Brad Stevens, who told Chris Mannix on The Vertical Podcast that tests in a couple of weeks will show if Thomas is ready for camp.
“He has another follow-up and another scan in the early part of September. Obviously, it’s been a lot of appropriate rest, a lot of rehab. There have been some good strides here certainly in the last month or few weeks, but we’re not going to know that until after that early September timeframe.”
The Celtics are understandably going to be cautious with Thomas, while Thomas wants to prove he is healthy and has no ill effects from the injury as he enters a contract year (one where he expects to get PAID). Also, the Celtics could use him in camp as they start to figure out how he and Gordon Hayward can share playmaking duties.
Still, from the outset, the timelines have suggested he should be ready for camp in late September. Coaches are just cautious on these things by nature.
LeBron James has four NBA MVP trophies in his case. (Does he keep that case in his home in Akron or the one in Los Angeles… that’s a question for another day.) Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six) and Michael Jordan (five) have more.
Could LeBron James add a fifth to his case this season?
Allen Iverson said yes at last weekend’s Big3 playoffs in Seattle.
LeBron was fourth in preseason odds to win the MVP at 15/2, behind Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard.
To me, LeBron could be a good bet. If/when Kyrie Irving is traded, the chances of LeBron getting the MVP go up. If LeBron puts up impressive numbers (again) and leads a depleted Cavaliers team to a top two seed in the East, he is certainly going to be in consideration. And should be.
It’s a long season, and personally, I think you need to get midway through the season before seriously considering the year-end awards. But history says LeBron will be in the mix, and Allen Iverson could be proven prophetic.
With the cooler-than-I-expected solar eclipse on Monday came a lot of bad solar eclipse jokes on Twitter. Because that’s what Twitter does. Especially the NBA Twitterverse. We knew a lot of “where on the flat earth will Kyrie Irving watch the eclipse?” jokes were coming.
There were a couple of good ones, however.
Appropriately, the Phoenix Suns won the day.
One personal favorite here, an old meme that never goes out of style.

Whether people read books on a computer screen, a handheld e-reader or an actual bound dead tree, it’s an enriching experience, or at least an enjoyable exercise for the imagination if the book is good.
Educators have long argued it’s important to foster children’s interest in reading early, when they can pick up reading habits and a love of books that lasts a lifetime.
The young children at the Camp Verde Head Start program seem to have no problem in that regard, as a cabinet filled with worn-out books with wrinkled covers can attest.
But the educators at Head Start have a new problem. They’re going to need a lot more room.
A program called Toys for Tots for Literacy donated more than 700 books to the Camp Verde Head Start last week, thanks to money raised in Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Prescott and Prescott Valley.
The charity is affiliated with the annual Christmas toy drive for kids promoted by the U.S. Marine Corps, but deals strictly in books.
“We collected the money over a period of time,” said June Trinidad, a Camp Verde-based manager who delivered the books Oct. 12. They came in by the box load, filled with colorful illustrations and titles both new and classic. Most of them are targeted at the prekindergarten crowd, because that’s the demographic Head Start teaches.
The school serves more than 80 children, and a paperback book can only handle so much wear and tear.
Tina Plainbull, a teacher at Head Start, said she was more than happy to find a place to keep the new books. Trinidad said much of the credit goes to Prescott and Prescott Valley for raising the bulk of the money needed to buy the books, bought in bulk from Scholastic, an international book publisher.
Trinidad said Camp Verde Head Start was selected after its application showed the most need for new books.
“We’re in shock,” said Sokie Chagolla, school administrator. Chagolla said they only found out that week the school would be receiving the books.
“We’re always looking for new books,” Chagolla said.
Some of the books will be put aside and taken to the Head Start program in Beaver Creek, Chagolla said.
“Here they’ll learn to handle them and learn how to read them,” Chagolla said.

Almost All EVs Leave Huge Carbon Footprints for 1 Simple Reason
You need to rethink an EV purchase if you’re looking to lower your carbon footprint, as most buyers do. There is a simple reason why you may face a larger carbon footprint than a gasoline-only or hybrid vehicle. That’s because you only reduce those emissions if you drive your EV a lot. Without significant miles driven, you’re kidding yourself, thinking you’re doing the environment a favor.
A Harvard study shows that those who put fewer miles on their vehicles help the environment more by sticking with gas vehicles. “But what about all of the tailpipe emissions,” you may ask. Yep, there will still be plenty of emissions from them.
How can EVs pollute more than all of those tailpipe emissions?
However, the study done by researchers Ashley Nunes and Lucas Woodley shows that those dirty tailpipes pollute far less over the vehicle’s lifetime than the pollution necessary to make an EV’s battery. If you can’t put between 28,000 and 68,000 miles on your EV, don’t buy one.
“This is because the batteries that power EVs are responsible for an outsize share of emissions during the manufacturing process,” Woodley told the Harvard Gazette. “Because EVs are dirtier to build but cleaner to drive, they must meet certain mileage thresholds before environmental advantages are realized. In the U.S., the typical non-luxury EV needs to log between 28,069 and 68,160 miles before netting any emissions benefits.”
Are there solutions for this issue?
Partly factoring in things like U.S. EV incentives, the study says they mostly help only the wealthy. It posits that is the wrong group to incentivize. The study finds that EVs are mostly for a second car, which typically sees far fewer miles driven. So driving more is the key, but what stymies that quest is the crappy charging infrastructure.
Several suggestions from the study would help to correct the problems it reveals. Incentivizing tax credits for used EVs helps to get them into the hands of those tending to drive more. The Biden administration agrees and includes those additional incentives in its latest Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Can I read the Harvard study?
It also suggests further incentives should go to those workers who drive back and forth to work every day. This ensures these EVs get driven and driven often. By requiring certain mileage numbers before receiving this incentive, EVs can more easily and more quickly reach those environmental benefits.
You can read the Harvard study to see for yourself showing the criteria and results. We may have been advancing the drive to EV domination the wrong way and are marketing it with the false assumption that merely buying an EV and putting a few miles on it will help reduce your carbon footprint.

The Flowers for Algernon Unit
Follows the links in the list below to be taken through this unit.
Here is a brief introduction to Flowers for Algernon.
The story, about a mentally retarded man whose IQ is tripled as the result of an experimental operation, was widely acclaimed and enormously popular. The story received one of science fiction’s highest honors, the Hugo Award, for best story of the year in 1959. In 1961, a successful television adaptation, The Two Worlds of Charlie Gordon, starred Cliff Robertson as Charlie. Still interested in the character of Charlie and the ideas contained in the short story, Keyes set out to enlarge “Flowers for Algernon” into a full-length novel. The result, published in 1966, won the Nebula Award—science fiction’s other highest honor—for best novel of the year and expanded dramatically on the popularity of the short story. In 1968, the novel version was adapted again, this time for a feature film called Charly. Cliff Robertson reprised his role as Charlie Gordon and won an Academy Award for his performance. The story has since been adapted many times in many media, notably in 1978 as a short-lived Broadway musical, Charlie and Algernon, and as a television drama in 2000 starring Matthew Modine.

Government advert criticised for promoting poor posture
The advert depicting a woman attending an online meeting on her sofa has been label as “irresponsible” by many due to the lack of consideration to her posture with no workstation or additional equipment. The British Safety Council have stated it “shows a complete lack of understanding around health and safety” and “Government advert risks legitimising poor practice, the costs of which ultimately end up on the NHS”.
By law, all businesses whose employees regularly use DSE as a significant part of their role are required to comply with the ‘Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992’. Employers must:
Analyse workstations to assess and reduce risks.
Make sure controls are in place.
Provide information and training.
Provide eye and eyesight tests on request, and special spectacles if needed.
Review the assessment when the user or DSE setup changes.

Always be Careful with the Plastic
The proper use of credit cards is an essential part of financial wellness. People will use their plastic because they do not want to carry around large sums of money and that makes it a personal safety issue. There are times when you will need to use the credit card, and you do need good credit ratings for mortgages and other major purchases. However, you must keep in mind you will spend more with plastic that you would with cash. There are some situations where you should think twice about using the credit card.
- Do Not Use It When You Are Depressed. It is a financial equivalent of binge eating. Folks who are feeling down the dumps will buy things in order to feel better about themselves. Depression can be a serious problem but the spending on credit is not going to solve anything. In fact, you may be even more depressed when you see the bill at the end of the month.
- Resist The Temptation If You Are Unaware Your Credit Limit. This is where impulsive buying with the credit card causes problems. Using a credit card that has been maxed out can result in penalties or even an automatic increase in the rate of interest to be paid. Be sure you know what your limit is so that you don’t accidentally go over it.
- Don’t Use Your Credit Card If You Already Have A High Balance. This pretty much goes hand in glove with the last point made. If your balance is already going out of control, adding more purchases on to it will not help. It will only increase your minimum payments.
- Be Very Cautious. The crime of credit cards skimming is becoming very serious. If for any reason you doubt the integrity of the person you are giving the credit card to, or concerned about the ATM machine you might be using, then it is wise not to place your credit card at risk.
- Use Credit Cards When You Are Sober. Granted, you may be going out to a bar with friends but be careful of the use of your credit card. Buying a round of drinks can be extremely expensive.
Financial Advice Helps
Credit cards all the same being used more and more. Many people, particularly those who are using the credit cards for the first time, don’t appreciate the problems they can fall into. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services has a financial wellness program to help people get a better understanding of the use of credit cards. Counselors are available to provide information and ideas on how to best use credit cards. If a person has already fallen into credit card trouble, these financial wellness professionals can also help develop a strategy for getting out of the cash quicksand.
Assistance is immediate. No one in a financial wellness program sponsored by Countrywide has to wait for the help they need. We expect our counselors to given priority are plan the program, and our administration is intentionally made easy to provide service faster.
Yes, it is true that you may need to use credit cards now and then. The important point to remember is to not let the plastic jeopardize your financial moments. The type of financial wellness help we provide can give you a better grip on the use of those cards. It is all about seeing to it that you do not suddenly fall into a pit of debt which appears to have no escape. Countrywide has other financial wellness options which can help prevent problems with debt and cash flow. We encourage interested parties to get in touch with us at their earliest convenience

The Authorities Have Revealed The Main Cause Of The HFMD Outbreak In Penang
Health inspectors investigating the spread of the hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) in Penang have identified the handlebars of supermarket trolleys as one of the main causes of the recent outbreak
According to Channel NewsAsia, the HFMD virus was also found on child ride equipment.
HFMD spreads by contact with nasal discharge, saliva, faeces, and fluids from the blisters of an infected person. Symptoms include fever, rashes, or blisters on the palms and feet, and ulcers in the mouth and tongue.
Though the viral infection can affect adults, young children below the age of five are more susceptible.
State Health Committee chairman Dr Afif Bahardin revealed that the number of HFMD cases has dropped from 78 cases on Wednesday to 52 and 51 cases on Thursday and Friday
This is comparatively lower than at the start of the month, when the average number of cases daily was 80, according to New Straits Times.
"However, the cumulative number of cases is still high at 2,341 so far this year compared to 1,099 cases in 2017 over the same period," Dr Afif said at a press conference on Monday, 23 July.
According to Dr Afif, 30 premises remain closed since the HFMD outbreak earlier in the month
The premises comprise of 10 kindergartens, seven nurseries, six primary schools, six preschools, and a childcare centre, The Star reported.
The schools still closed are SK Sungai Bakap, SJKC Sum Min 1, SK Saujana Indah, SJKC Moh Ghee Pusat, SJKC Beng Teik, and SJKC Kwang Hwa.
The State Health Committee chairman revealed that nine victims are currently undergoing treatment in hospitals.
Despite the high risk for the spread of HFMD, the Penang state government has no plans to close down public playgrounds or amusement centres in shopping malls

So there’s a Pizza Hut on State College Blvd. and Ball Rd. When you get there, be sure to walk west across the street and Pizza Boy will be right there. Exceptional food and service. My only wish is they must expand to serve the communities more inland. Currently, I’m having to drive 11 miles for some delicious pizza. Rest assured, the trip is worth every penny.
I love this pizza joint! The name brought me in the beginning! The taste is what has brought me back here! Continuously! Will be back tomorrow for more pizza! Thanks!
If you want some bomb pizza, you can never go wrong here. All their items from their menu are good. The cheese they put is the best.
Best food, very kind employees, constantly good character. They charge fair rates and the food quality is excellent. Fantastic work.
So delicious!!! My favorite. Everything here is good. 👌🏽

1977), “Low intensity two step absorption of chlorophyll a in vivo” (Leupold et al. 1978), and “Collective excitation and luminescence of chlorophyll in vivo” (Leupold et al. 1979). For the excellent results emerging from these interdisciplinary efforts, Paul Hoffmann and the associated team of physicists and mathematicians were awarded the highly prestigious Leibniz Prize (Leibniz-Preis) of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in 1979. Paul Hoffmann was
well known for bringing together national and international researchers with multiple expertise. At home and among foreign colleagues, he had an excellent reputation. He paid special attention to the COMECON1 Photosynthesis Research PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor 3 datasheet Conferences and Programs, which in the 1970s and 1980s provided virtually the only international forum for many ‘Eastern
Bloc’ scientists and students. These meetings and programs, despite their relative isolation, were instrumental in maintaining photosynthesis research laboratories with international standards in these countries. Hoffmann, and his colleagues and friends, Alexander A. Krasnovsky (USSR), Andrey B. Rubin (USSR), Danuta Frąckowiak (Poland), Ágnes Faludi-Dániel (Hungary), CA4P Zoltan Szigeti (Hungary), Zdeněk Šesták (Czechoslovakia), Ivan Yordanov (Bulgaria)—to name just a few—never compromised for less and spared no effort to launch longstanding research collaboration and scientific exchange. Paul Hoffmann’s important role in these collaborative activities is illustrated by recollections of his colleagues and friends. Natalia Averina, Nikolai Shalygo, Galina Savchenko, and Elena Yaronskaya, from the Institute of Biophysics and Cell Engineering (former Institute of Photobiology), Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Minsk, wrote: In 1969 Professor Dr. Alexander Shlyk, the then director of the Institute of Photobiology (Minsk, Belarus), and
Professor Dr. Paul Hoffmann agreed to establish collaborative work in Minsk. The aim was to elucidate the role of kinetin in the biosynthesis of protochlorophyllide. A 4SC-202 mouse resulting first joint article was published in 1970 (Shlyk et al. 1970). At that time nobody BCKDHA could imagine that the collaboration would become very fruitful and last for long years. Over the years 25 joint scientific articles were published. We will always remember Professor Hoffmann talking with enthusiasm about problems of energetics in photosynthesis. Professor Hoffmann was a very hospitable person. He always promoted scientific collaboration and was very glad that the collaboration continued with his successor—Professor Bernhard Grimm. A personal recollection of Prof. Dr. Danuta Wróbel, Institute of Physics, Poznan University of Technology, Poland, follows: For the first time I met Professor Hoffmann in Liblice (Czechoslovakia) in 1972 during a Symposium “Photosynthesis and Chlorophylls in vivo with Special Reference to Methods of Their Determination”. I was very much interested in the physical processes in photosynthesis.

ART AND YOGA RETREATS IN BULGARIA
Our art and yoga retreats offer a unique combination between yoga, art practices, healthy food, travel, educational courses, and time to relax admits the breath-taking natural beauty of Bulgaria. Besides our regular retreats, we can offer a special handcrafted experiences for your team, company, or group of friends: a personalized team-building, retreat for teams, or creative group activities, etc.
The act of traveling refreshes the human spirit and broadens one’s horizons. Yet an outward journey itself is not enough. We have the inner necessity to search and travel within, unraveling the treasury of the inner self. The more consciously we go on that quest, the more positive the change will be.
If you are looking for a way to try new things, during our art and yoga retreats you will be able to:
- try new styles of yoga and art practices
- if you already are a practitioner, deepen your own practice
- taste new yummi food
- connect to yourself and others
- recharge and refresh with energy
- take a real good rest
- discover unexpected talents
- meet new friends
Yoga Inbound is the practical method to reconnect to our inner center, the soul. It enables us to awaken the body, harmonize the breath, calm the mind, balance the emotions, satisfy the intellect and nourish the soul. It works holistically for the entire well-being of the practitioner, bringing us closer to our spiritual center.
In the Yoga Inbound sessions we integrate asana, pranayama (breathing techniques), ayurveda, meditation, and yoga philosophy, among others.
Each class is a unique experience, an inbound journey and exploration of the self, the source and the world.
If you are a yoga beginner, you are very welcome to join! Our practice is designed to suit any level and every practitioner, including the absolute beginners.
Art practices aim towards self-knowledge and self-discovery. They are a powerful healing tool that has the potential to change, refresh and transform. The creative process is therapeutic, because it brings positive change. Group art games and exercises can help deal with stress, burnout, depression. This is a great way to build heart-to-heart relationships. In our art practices we stay focused on the creative process itself, rather than the result. We do not necessarily aim to create a work of art at the end.
No specific experience or skills in art are required. We use simple expressive approaches to painting, clay work, poetry, dance, music and sharing. In some parts of the creative activities we integrate the inspiring philosophy of OIDA therapy, and particularly – the OIDArts.
Peace, harmony and bliss – everything we dream of while running in pursue of our targets and goals. In the fast-paced urban world we often struggle with our own mind, and it is increasingly difficult to have a clear thought, concentration and focus.
Meditation enables us to slow down and get rid of unwanted thoughts, tension and stress. It is a means to purify and calm the monkey mind, which is constantly working, thinking and generating mental projections. Using focus and concentration exercises, breathing techniques and relaxation, we learn how to tame and control the mind.
Meditation is an active process of exploration: by unraveling ourselves and others, mother nature and our common source, we become mindful and conscious. In our art and yoga retreats we always include meditation practices, such as yoga nidra, guided meditation, drawing or art meditation, mantra meditation or kirtan, etc.
Nature is much more than just an environment that surrounds us. It is a manifestation of a perfect intelligence, it is the greatest artist. It’s no surprise that in various cultures around the planet we call it the same name – “mother nature”, “mother earth”. She is a mother, nurturing us and providing us with everything we need.
The closer we are to nature, the closer we are to our natural state of happiness. It teaches us about our correct position in the universe. This is a basic aspect of yoga: to understand our place, our connection with all living beings, and to develop qualities such as gratitude, compassion and tolerance.
With our art and yoga retreats we are carefully choosing the locations, in a way that they can bring us closer to nature. Eco-villages, petite family hotels & rural houses that share the same values as we do: the ethics of conscious consumption, violent-free attitude towards mother earth, the animals and all living entities.
We nurture ourselves in so many ways: by the mind, by the senses, by the knowledge we gain, and surely, through the food we eat. As simple as it might sound, there is food for the body and food for the mind, food for the intellect and soul food.
When we get something into our system, we fill ourselves with it. We become it. We want to be fresh, compassionate and loving. Therefore, we suggest a COMPASSIONATE DIET: vegetarian and vegan invigorating dishes, respectful to nature and offered with love and devotion.
Violence-free food is the foundation of a healthy body, healthy mind and healthy relationships. Since a tasty, satisfying and good-looking meal is the easiest way to change our lives, we always serve clean vegetarian dishes that you will absolutely love. Food is an intrinsic part of our retreat experience. Moreover, we also offer culinary workshops, consultations and share our know-how on ayurveda and cooking.
We serve 100% pure vegetarian meals, vegan options and special dietary requirements are available upon request. No alcohol is available.
Dessi, art therapist
I am Dessi, and I love people, nature, art and their creator. Colors, drawing, books and trees recharge me and inspire me to create. I am doing art since very early age, but I knew it is not only about an innate talent. Having faith in yourself, freedom of expression and a secure and supportive environment in childhood are important factors for art potential to develop. In my recent work I meet a lot of people who did not have such a supportive environment as I did. Suffering from stress, burnout, fatigue, lack of higher purpose, they are often led to a state of chronic fatigue, idleness, or sadness.
In our art and yoga retreat creative space, we design a supportive and inspiring environment for two very important partners: the inner child and the inner creator. We invite them to come out, and we celebrate their existence in others. Using either group or individual approach via art & play, I invite you to return to your integrity and experience life fully, guided by faith and love.
Tools & methods: couching, consultancy, expressive art therapy, OIDA therapy, family constellations, meditation, games in the nature, learning thru play & experience.
Marina, yoga teacher
My name is Marina, but you may often hear people addressing me as Mansarovar, my yogi name in the tradition of bhakti yoga. I am 200RYT Yoga Alliance certified teacher in hatha vinyasa yoga.
Having lived and studied in several ashrams in India and Europe, I am practicing yoga, mantra and Vedic philosophy under the guidance of my teacher Srila B.A Parmadwaiti Swami for the last 10 years. I do it because I see how this ancient wisdom of yoga is extremely relevant and applicable to the modern world.
Teaching yoga and meeting this great variety of wonderful people during our art and yoga retreats is my humble attempt to serve you. I would love to offer you the possibility to embrace yoga as a daily part of your life. I deeply believe that it can make you become happier and healthier, only if you experience it yourself – so do come and try! Yoga can lead us to experience the highest love and deepest joy, always available within.
Tools & methods: inbound yoga, hatha, vinyasa, restorative, pranayama, yoga nidra, kirtan, mantra meditation.

It seems that the news crews can always find a celebrity somewhere that is in trouble , sick, or actually making a good impression. It seems that this week is no different and I assume that most of us are interested in the celebrities to want to know a little more. Here are some tidbits of information on some celebrities that I have heard of in the news this week.
Paris Hilton- The American heiress and socialite that is known for her partying and reality television shows was arrested this week for possession of cocaine. This is not her first arrest or run in with the law. She has been arrested for a DUI and has served time in jail for violating her probation by being charged with speeding and driving while suspended and not enrolling in a alcohol education program. It seems that this rich kid can not follow rules as she had to get a GED due to being kicked out of school due to violating rules. My opinion is she needs to grow up and realize that even spoiled rich kids have to follow the laws like everyone else.
Michael Douglas- Michael is a well-known actor and producer from a well-known family in the entertainment business. He announced this week that he is going to undergo aggressive chemotherapy and radiation to fight a case of throat cancer. He recently was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer that he says he brought on to himself by smoking and drinking. He says he has an 80/20 percent chance of beating this cancer. Michael is married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. I wish both Michael and his wife a lot of strength in this battle and I pray that he will beat the cancer and live to a ripe old age.
Jon Gosselin – Rumors are flying that Jon’s former gal pal has made claims that he did harass Kate after their separation and threatened her with blackmail tactics to get the money that he wanted. She claims to have proof of him attempting to blackmail Kate by threatening to call CPS on her if she did not give him the money that he wanted. Whether this is true or not, we may never know. However, it does go along with claims that Kate has made and with things that we know Jon has done since the separation and divorce. My opinion is that Jon needs to grow up and realize that he may not have liked the publicity that the show brought, but the money surely must have been a huge plus for him.
RAPPER TI – The Grammy award winning rapper/musician TI and his wife were arrested this week in West Hollywood, California for drug possession. The couple were arrested after a traffic stop and a policeman noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the car. The 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., and his wife, Tameka Cottle, 36, were booked for investigation of possessing a controlled substance.
I feel that he will serve some time out of this due to the fact that he is still on probation for an unrelated handgun charge.
Miranda Lambert- Country musician and one of country’s most popular stars at this time has been nominated for 9 CMA awards. This tops all other musicians for the year and surely will help her to win more than one award this year. Melinda is well known and loved by country music fans and her popularity shows with these nominations. I do like Miranda, but I am not sure that I would have nominated her for that many CMA awards this year.
Well, that is all of the tidbits that I have for this week. I am thankful that these entertainers keep doing their job and their partying and bad habit as it makes our jobs as writers seem exciting and challenging as we wonder how we can possibly keep up with the constant changes in their lives.

BALTIMORE – Baltimore City Council President Brandon Scott added to his lead Monday against former Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon in the city’s Democratic mayoral primary.
While the primary remains too close to call, results posted on the Maryland State Board of Elections website Monday night showed Scott increasing his lead by 1,385 votes. That compared to his lead Sunday night by 388 votes.
Scott has 41,420 votes, or about 29%, and Dixon has 40,035, or about 28%, in a crowded primary with more than 20 candidates.
About 142,335 votes have been counted. City election officials are scheduled to keep counting on Tuesday. Roughly 5,000 votes remained to be counted.
Dixon held the lead early in last Tuesday's primary, but Scott made gains and took a narrow lead in results posted Sunday night.
Marvin James, Scott's campaign manager, described the updated results posted Monday night as “extremely promising.”
The primary was held mostly by mail in response to the coronavirus. Limited in-person voting was held on Tuesday.
For votes sent in the mail to be counted, they had to be postmarked June 2. Mail-in votes that are postmarked June 2 will still be counted, so long as they are received by 10 a.m. Friday.
The mostly mail-in election has had problems. Officials ended up authorizing added two voting centers to the previously allotted four over concerns that ballots were not arriving in the mail as planned. On Election Day, there were long lines and dozens of voters remained in line two hours after polls were scheduled to close because social-distancing measures prompted by the pandemic slowed the flow of people at voting centers. Early Wednesday, voting results from the city were taken down from the state’s election board's website due to an issue with ballots in one district.
Dixon became mayor in 2007. She resigned in 2010 after three years as part of a plea deal for misappropriating gift cards meant for needy families. She also ran for mayor in 2016, but lost to Catherine Pugh, who resigned last year amid investigations into lucrative sales of her self-published children’s books. Pugh pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges.

Written by Guy Schleyer and Assaf Vardi
Viruses are simple yet sophisticated entities. They can penetrate cells and quickly enslave their metabolic infrastructure to produce an army of infectious virions, which will then be able to infect new target cells. Throughout evolution, viruses developed different strategies to ensure optimal infection, while their hosts refined defence mechanisms, as a part of a never-ending arms race. In our new study, we present a new approach to study the metabolic cross-talk between a host and its virus, by combining a classical method in microbiology – the plaque assay – with advanced mass spectrometry imaging (MSI).
From the moment a virus enters a cell, the cell is no longer independent. A new entity is formed – a, that provides the metabolic resources needed for constructing new virions. Giant viruses impose even larger metabolic burden on the virocell, due to their large genome and high burst size. The virocell produces a unique metabolic landscape, which evolves as the infection advances. Yet, tracking the metabolic alterations that occur during this dynamic process in high temporal resolution remains challenging.
An attractive model system to study host-virus interactions is the unicellular alga Emiliania huxleyi, which plays a key role in regulating carbon and sulfur cycles in the oceans. E. huxleyi forms massive annual blooms that cover vast oceanic areas and are terminated following infection by the specific E. huxleyi virus (EhV).
In the lab, we routinely perform plaque assays to assess the number of infectious viral particles. But actually, a plaque assay can provide additional valuable information, due to its unique structure. A plaque originates in a single infected cell and expands via concentric rings. Each ring corresponds to the plaque circumference at a different time point, much like tree rings, keeping a metabolic record of the infection. Essentially, a plaque allows to resolve the infection process in a spatial way, consisting of cells in different stages of infection.
Having this spatial structure of the plaque in mind, we asked whether it can reveal information that is otherwise masked in the more common analysis of liquid cultures. In these cases, metabolic values of the entire population are measured together to yield averaged results at different stages of infection, normally by liquid chromatography (LC)-MS. A plaque sample, on the other hand, captures the entire infection process in one snapshot, but cannot be analysed by the traditional LC-MS. For that, we turned to MSI and applied two complementary techniques, which allowed spatial analysis of the plaques.
We started by looking at the patterns of specific lipid biomarkers across the plaque. These lipids were shown to be reduced or induced during infection in liquid cultures in previous lipidomics studies (2), and we were interested in observing differences between them. Already after the first plaque analysed, we detected astonishing variability in the induction patters of lipids which until then seemed to behave the same throughout the population. For example, some lipids appeared in higher intensity at the centre of the plaque, while others were induced at a greater distance from the plaque centre. One lipid even had a unique rink-like intensity pattern, thus far unexplained. A plethora of intensity patterns across the plaque suggests the existence of different metabolic states during the infection process. Correlating these states with different phenotypes might allow us to better define the infection states that occur during infection. It can also help us in the future to develop sensitive metabolic biomarkers for detection of different states of viral infection in the ocean.
We were also interested in discovering novel metabolites that mediate infection or host defence. In order to do that, we performed untargeted analysis of the data, taking advantage of the spatial distribution of the metabolites. We identified different groups of lipids that were induced or reduced across the plaque, and by that we were able to reveal a metabolic shift towards lipids containing an odd-numbered fatty acid chain, C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid). In humans, odd-chain fatty acid lipids are involved in different metabolic disorders. Induction of these lipids during infection might be part of the viral strategy to hijack host metabolism during infection.
Cesare Emiliani, one of the founding fathers of paleoceanography (and whom E. huxleyi is named after), once wrote: “Homo sapiens appeared on earth at the same time as the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi… both Homo sapiens and Emiliania huxleyi are dense, worldwide, well-mixed populations… The chances of lethal viral infection would seem excellent for both” (3). By studying the infection process of E. huxleyi in high spatiotemporal resolution, we seek to expand our understanding of infection and defence strategies and the impact of viral infection on the metabolic landscape in the marine environment. We believe that this approach could be applied on diverse host-virus model systems.

Del Lago Resort and Casino is facing complicated times in the upcoming weeks, as the lockdown is still in progress when it comes to in-person gambling in New York State. Upwards of 1,700 individuals are going to be laid off in Seneca County following weeks of no commercial casino operation in the region.
The management recently confirmed that those casino staff members will be rehired once casino operation returns. New York State has to give its nod to in-person casino gaming in commercial casinos which would make it possible for del Lago Resort and Casino to greenlight its operation with all the safety measures required by the state and the casino. A WARN notice was field earlier this month.
The recently revealed suspension is expected to directly affect as many as 1,077 casino staff members associated with del Lago Resort and Casino. Those individuals have not been able to make it to their workplace and work for more than four months. Mid-March, the casino location had to close for business indefinitely and projections regarding its reopening could not be made. Social distancing mandated this move.
The layoffs commenced in April because of this lockdown situation and six months are going to come to an end in the upcoming weeks. This is why the casino resort management field a WARN notice with the New York State. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act mandates that this happens, in order to protect all workers and give them a heads up in similar situations. The employer has to respect the 60-day advance notification.
Individuals have to receive a warning about their layoffs nearly two months ahead of the actual date and this is especially true for plant closings and mass layoffs such as the current one. Upstate New York commercial casinos have also made that point over the past weeks and the overall number of people laid off could reach 5,000.
Tribal Venues Work
Mid-June saw the official relaunch of many Native American casino locations across the state. Native American tribes collaborate with the state thanks to their own compacts regulating the gambling operation and they have the freedom to relaunch in-person gaming sooner than commercial venues. They are overseen by Seneca Nation of Indians and Oneida Indian Nation.
Meanwhile, commercial casino locations, racinos, and gambling halls have remained closed and anticipating the permission of the government. The Department of Labor pointed out that the WARN notice listed the layoffs as ‘temporary plant closure’. Executive Vice-President and General Manager Lance Young pointed out that the furloughed individuals will have to be laid off, but they will be rehired once again when in-person gambling at commercial casinos is permitted.
In the meantime, del Lago Resort and Casino is preparing for the eventual reopening of the casino floor, introducing various safety measures. They aim to protect both the staff members working on a daily basis and the patrons making their way there. This would make the venue ready for the official go time announced by the government.
