Off the Shelf: Binchy will be missed

A look back at the life, times, and books of Ireland's beloved author Maeve Binchy

Maeve Binchy, one of Ireland’s best-loved writers, died at age 72 in late July after a short illness.

Binchy’s novels about love and romance in Ireland sold more than 40 million copies in 37 languages, and among her most popular titles were Light a Penny Candle (1982), Echoes (1985), Circle of Friends (1990), The Copper Beech (1992) and Tara Road (1998). The last of these, the story of two women who exchange homes in Ireland and the U.S. for a magical summer, was promoted by Oprah Winfrey, ensuring runaway sales.

In 1995 Circle of Friends, about childhood friends from the village of Knockglen, was made into a film starring Chris O’Donnell and Minnie Driver.

Binchy’s novels dealt with issues such as betrayal and child-parent relationships, tensions between rural and urban life, and the transformations in Irish cultural and religious life in the late 20th century, and she left sex scenes to the imagination rather than provide graphic detail. This formula made her an international bestseller and put her in the top 10 of Britain’s most popular writers.

Binchy was born in Dalkey, County Dublin, the eldest of four children. She recalled how as a child she was “fat and hopeless at games” but very happy, as her parents “thought all their geese were swans.” She went to convent school in the nearby village of Killiney, graduated from University College, Dublin, and worked for a time as a teacher, writing short stories during her holidays, before joining The Irish Times in 1968.

In 1972 she was posted to The Irish Times London office, where her account of the wedding of Princess Anne to Capt. Mark Phillips the following year was so notably lacking in the conventional reverent prose (“The bride looked as edgy as if it were the Badminton Horse Trials and she was waiting for the bell to gallop off”) that it unleashed an avalanche of letters from readers – outraged and delighted in equal numbers.

In London, 1977, Binchy married the writer and former BBC World Service broadcaster Gordon Snell, and they maintained homes in both London and Dublin before settling permanently in Ireland. She wrote that, like her parents, Gordon believed: “I could do anything, and I started to write fiction and that took off fine.”

Binchy was a wonderful humorist, often telling hilarious anecdotes, many against herself. She related, for instance, how when the U.S. first lady Barbara Bush invited her to a lunch with other writers in the White House and everyone was asked what they would like to drink, she politely requested a white wine rather than her usual gin and tonic, and then watched in dismay as the others primly ordered mineral water. A full bottle of wine was produced for the one rather mortified Irish guest.

Binchy announced her retirement some years ago, but the books kept coming. Her 17th, A Week in Winter, will be published in October.

She won several honours for her writing, among them a lifetime achievement award at the British Book Awards in 1999 and the Irish Pen/AT Cross literary award in 2007 for a lifetime of literary achievement.

Shortly before her death, she told The Irish Times: “I’ve been very lucky and I have a happy old age with good friends and family still around.” In truth, she suffered terribly in her last years from arthritis, while remaining cheerful and concerned about others.

How Sailing Brought Me Closer to a Breast Cancer Survivor—My Birth Mom

A BCRF Fundraiser Combines Her Love for Sailing With Raising Funds for Research

When Ashley Bell's birth mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Ashley knew she wanted to get involved with raising money for research. A sailing enthusiast, she combined her love for sailing and her drive to support research.

The Seattle sailing community rallied behind her and The Pink Boat Regatta was born. Read on for Ashley's inspirational story.

This post originally appeared on the Huffington Post.

I came to Seattle by way of California, and before that, Winnipeg, where I was born and grew up. I was adopted at birth, and met my biological mother when I was 19 years old -- well after her first diagnosis, treatment and remission from breast cancer at age 38. It really didn't register at the time how close I came to never having known my mother, who's now the closest thing I have to a sister and best friend.

Four years ago in Seattle, I stepped foot on a sailboat for the first time and never looked back. Sailing, and particularly racing, taught me a lot about who I am and what kind of life I want. It taught me how to be fearless when it mattered most, in a sport where safety coming first means the ability to react when you might be exhausted, cold, wet or just plain terrified by the conditions. I fell in love with it, and started getting involved any way that I could.

Just two years later, I found myself competing in a world-class regatta at one of the best sailing venues in the world, the San Francisco Bay. It was there I met a local sailor preparing to sail around the world in support of breast cancer research. Coincidentally, I had also just received the news that my mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time. This time, it was very real. She was my mother now, and I was present to experience it with her. Needless to say, finding out about an opportunity to be part of something which combined my passion for sailing and a cause so close to my own heart and family struck a chord. My crew and I went back down to SF to participate in the first pink boat regatta the following month and had so much fun, we knew it had to come to Seattle.

Camden Townhouse Refurb and Extensions

A growing family's home in Camden transformed and reconfigured from a traditional 2 bedroom property to a light-filled forever-home with 5 bedrooms, three bathrooms, large open plan kitchen dining space and a wow-factor living space with double height oak library connecting to the garden.

Our scope included the design of the exterior and interior of this home restoring original features whilst introducing a language of oak trims and herringbone patterns. Basement, first floor and loft extensions were build to maximise the floor area with the design sailing through planning where the the old and new elements of the house are clearly differentiated with materiality and set-backs.

Woodforest Bank has agreed to refund more than $12 million to consumers who were charged high overdraft fees on bank accounts. In addition, the bank will pay a $400,000 penalty to the federal Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). It’s the toughest penalty ever imposed by OTS regarding overdraft fees, as a debate over the fees heats up. Woodforest will repay current and former customers “who were misled about the cost of overdraft protection and charged excessive overdraft-protection fees.” Woodforest’s business relied “upon an unreasonably high level of aggregate fees,” according to OTS.

The 169-unit savings bank has 35 offices in Alabama Wal-Mart stores. The savings bank’s owner, Woodforest Financial Group of Woodlands, Texas, also owns the 577-unit Woodforest National Bank. Existing and former depositors charged overdraft fees since January 2, 2008, will get refunds. Under the order, the bank must repay eligible customers by June 23rd. Customers seeking more information can call 1-877-968-7962.

Consumer advocates have been pushing for federal action to cap bank charges for a long time. Customers overdraw accounts by $20 on average, but are charged higher fees, according to Jean Ann Fox of the Consumer Federation of America. She added: “They can charge astronomical interest rates for short-term cash advances, and they don’t have to quote the (rate).” Wal-Mart shoppers fit the profile of banking customers most likely to get caught in a spiral of overdraft charges (low- to moderate-income, female-headed households). It should be safe for low-balance consumers to have a bank account, according to Ms. Fox. I agree with that assessment.

The Beauty Easter Eggs You Need To Get Your Hands On!

Easter Eggs have been on sale since Boxing Day, or at least that’s how it feels. To that extent, as much as I love Chocolate, the excitement of waiting for a Cadbury’s Cream egg to be on sale has worn off, I can get them any time of the year now and well, it just isn’t the same.
The Beauty Easter Eggs You Need To Get Your Hands On!
With Easter rapidly approaching, there is plenty of alternative products to be had and many of them filled with beauty products and here are some of my favourites:

Glossybox - With their constant sell out Beauty Boxes, Glossybox is launching their first-ever beauty Easter egg and it looks just absolutely incredible. Inside you'll find a whole host of must-have minis from brands such as Pixi, Benefit, Living Proof and more! The beauty Easter egg is worth over £80 but will come with a £30 price tag when it launches on April 9th and you can subscribe and find out more right here (afflink).

L’Occitane - If ever someone could take a beauty product and turn it into a beautiful egg, it would be L'Occitane. This Easter, there are two offerings from L'Occitane - Almond and Cherry Blossom.  Inside each egg, you will find three best-selling mini products which include soaps, shower gels and hand creams.  They cost just £15 each and are available now from Fabled, allbeauty and Debenhams.

L’Oreal - The limited edition L’Oréal Paris Beauty Egg is already available to buy at Superdrug and not only does i make a great treat at just £5 here, but it is also an amazing treat for your skin or the skin of a loved one over Easter.  Inside you will find the calming and deeply cleansing Pure Clay Soothing Mask (full-size, 50ml) with floral Mallow Flower extract. Exfoliate with Smooth Sugars Glow Scrub (4ml) to leave your skin and lips feeling radiant. Finish your cleansing routine with the hydrating Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturiser (3ml).  What's more, it costs just £5 but be warned, it is constantly out of stock, so if you see it, grab it!

Lookfantastic - Whilst the contents might be being kept under wraps, there has been quite the excitement over the Easter Beauty Egg offering from Lookfantastic and there will be at least 7 products inside.   It will be priced at £65 and you ensure you get your hands on it, you can register right here (afflink)

I Heart Revolution - Last year Revolution launched 6 metallic surprise eggs, which I have to admit were very cute and a great gift for my younger relatives and goddaughters. This year we have four new additions and they cost just £5 each and they all contain 5 eyeshadow and 2 highlighters and you can grab them in shades Flamingo, Chocolate, Chick and Candy and they cover everything from your neutrals to the more bold shades. Find them all here.

I have no doubt over the next few weeks we will see a whole lot more coming from brands by way of Beauty Easter Eggs, last year there were offerings from Lush, Olay, Essie, Tony Moly and Ghost Fragrances to name just a few!

Which brand will you be hoping to see an Easter Egg Beauty release from?

  1. Lovely post, thanks so much for sharing! I love the idea of beauty Easter eggs, and I hope it becomes a thing like beauty advent calendars. My favourite from the ones you shared is probably the I Heart Revolution as its cruelty-free (I think!). I would love to see Easter products from some natural brands too. The packaging is just so stunning from the ones you shared. :-) xx

  2. How cute are these?! I think the L'Oreal egg looks amazing for £5, although the Revolution one is a little boring as they did the same last year 🙄 xx

  3. The L'Occitane ones look great! I think it's brilliant that there are alternatives to chocolate! xx

  4. I'll have one of each - definitely! They are so cute!

  5. Oh my gosh I would love the LOccitane one, how cute!

  6. OMG I had no idea they were even selling these now! Want!

  7. Is it sad that I'm actually going to put the launch date of Glossybox one in my calendar?

  8. That LookFantastic set looks amazing x

neighborhood may remain basically say all white until a few black families move in. If more black households move in over time, their fraction may become large enough that many white residents begin to panic, and put their houses up for sale. After that the neighborhood quickly “tips” into becoming a mainly black neighborhood.

In the long run, the unsatisfied ambitions and grievances of the selectorate create an ever-present threat to the stability of the figurehead's administration.

The words you need by the people you admire, such as the: Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. College isn't the place to go for ideas. Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see. Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

PSGT, I am guessing that most of the West (including you and myself) are uneducated concerning the Muslim Brotherhood. From what I read (not knowing if it is true), they are very religious but also very moderate, no better or worse than the religious right in the US. Not every Muslim governement will make an enemy of the US. Also, as IK and others pointed out, the recent uprising have virtually no backlash aginst the West in them (burning US flags, etc.). Also, unlike the recent case in Iran, no one is claiming that the West is behind these uprisings.

Also, concerning oil, the bigger problem is Peak Oil, not who controls it. If Middle East countries shut off oil to everyone, then they lose money. If they shut it off to just the West, then others will fill that spot. They can direct where THEIR oil goes, not where ALL oil goes – and money talks.

Review: Low Life Barrel House Diabel Boruta Tart Wine Saison

It's been nearly two months since I've last seen Low Life Barrel House's beer in Brandon but yesterday when I was doing my regular visit to the LC, I was shocked to see their Diabel Boruta Wine Saison in stock. The beer was apparently supposed to be in town nearly a month ago but it got delayed in shipping.

Diabel Boruta is a Tart Wine Saison that is Brett fermented, blended with Riesling must and dry hopped with Enigma and Hallertau hops.

Appearance: Pours a golden straw body with a light amount of cloudiness. The beer is very carbonated and the head fizzles near immediately, leaving behind only a few dozen bubbles that are located mostly near the side of the glass or the middle of the body.

Aroma: I got notes of the Riesling wine must from the very first sniff. Notes of white wine, Brett yeast, oak, apple and pear fruit. Light amount of sour notes, a hint of cereal graininess. Smells a bit like a white wine mixed with a Saison.. which I guess is what it kind of is.

Taste: A bit tart with notes of Riesling white wine, good amount of sweetness, notes of Brett yeast to give off a bit of a funkiness to it, bit of lemon, fairly dry. The aftertaste is a bit of a cereal taste but also a bit of pear.

Overall Thoughts: Quite a wine-style Saison. I've had a few beers brewed with wine or wine must over the years but this one has the Riesling pop out pretty big time. Decent Saison with a nice tartness that's not overly tart. I'll definitely be buying more of this,.

Lukashenko hosts meeting to discuss Belarus' food industry

Lukashenko hosts meeting to discuss Belarus' food industry

MINSK, 11 August (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko hosted a meeting on 11 August to discuss issues related to the development of the country's food industry, BelTA has learned.

Attending the event were representatives of the government, the Belarus President Administration, heads of companies of food and processing industries, Belarusian state food industry concern Belgospishcheprom, the Belarusian Union of Consumer Societies Belkoopsoyuz, the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade.

According to the head of state, the meeting took place for the first time after the appointment of several managers in the above-mentioned industrial sectors in December 2019. Then, they were given concrete instructions. “You had time to study the sectors in detail and see what are the successes and problems. I would like to hear your opinion on the development prospects. What problems in the food and processing industries do you see? How do you deal with them and do you need help from the government and the president?” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

The head of state also stated that the export development was one of the most important issues under the discussion at the meeting. “Our companies have been working in the difficult conditions because of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite all this, we managed to maintain jobs and export potential. The processing system should not have any problems due to the coronavirus. You have enough raw materials. Farmers keep working. There is meat, sugar, other products. There is consumption. All the countries closed and stopped their economies. We continue working. We need to sell. Markets are open,” the head of state stressed. The president was updated that there are no problems with the sales. “The most important issue is to increase the export. How are you working in this direction? What about the supplies to China?” the Belarusian leader said.

Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed to a good yield of grain, vegetables and fruit this year. “Absolutely everything should be processed. There should not be any losses,” the president emphasized. He noted that households also have a good harvest. “This is an extra income for them. If we want people to grow agricultural products on their subsidiary plots, we should buy these products from them. The products they grow in excess should be bought from them,” Aleksandr Lukashenko concluded.

The head of state also asked those present at the meeting about the processing of colza, its prices and markets for it.

The participants of the meeting also discussed the activity of a number of companies. The president recalled that state support had been provided to sugar processing companies and confectioneries. Personnel changes have been made. The Minsk Kristall Holding Company has been set up. “How are the previously set goals fulfilled? What is done to find new markets?” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

The situation with the personnel in the above-mentioned sectors was also discussed.

Canadian athletes at the Paralympic Games March 7 – 16!

Posted by admin - Bellissimo Law Group PC

Canada excelled this year at the XXII Winter Olympic Games held February 7 – 23, 2014.  Today it’s time to cheer on our Paralympic athletes who will compete in Sochi, Russia this week from March 7 – 16, 2014!  Each Olympic year, both the Paralympic and Olympic Games are held two weeks apart in the same host country and use the same sporting venues and organizing committee.

Olympic Wrap up:

Last month Canadian athletes won 25 Olympic medals; 10 gold, 10 silver, and 5 bronze. This put Canada 4th in the overall medal count, and 3rd in gold medals! Some highlights included Alex Bioldeau of Quebec in moguls, along with Kaillie Humphries of Alberta and Heather Moyse of PEI in bobsled all defending gold medals from Vancouver, 2010. Double gold medals were won in both men’s and women’s hockey and curling. Sisters Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe of Quebec shared the podium winning gold and silver in moguls. Marielle Thompson and Kelsey Serwa of British Columbia worked together to win gold and silver in skicross. Figure skater Patrick Chan of Ontario, and speed skater Denny Morrison of British Columbia each earned two medals in separate events!

2014 Paralympic Games:

The 2014 delegation of Canadian Paralympic athletes should prove just as riveting! For a great list of athletes to watch for this coming week, check out The Star’s bio page on each of the Paralympic medal hopefuls. Sports include: sledge hockey, wheelchair curling, para-alpine skiing, para-snowboarding, para-Nordic skiing and biathlon. Athletes fall into five major classifications: visually impaired, physical disabilities, amputee, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, and Les Autres – inclusive of all other disabilities (eg. Muscular Dystrophy).

The first athletic games for people with disabilities began after World War II to improve the quality of life for those injured during the war.  The first Paralympic summer games were held in Rome, Italy in 1960; and the first Paralympic winter games were hosted in Sweden in 1976. Today, the value of sportsmanship, active lifestyle and worldwide recognition for high performance athletics extend far beyond the rehabilitative benefits of sport.

Safety Concerns in Sochi:

Several countries have raised safety concerns for the wellbeing of their athletes, and spectators attending the Paralympic Games. In the two weeks since the Olympic Games Russia has sent soldiers to occupy the Crimea region of the Ukraine, only 475 km from Sochi on the Black Sea. Canada, The United States, France, and Great Britain will not be sending dignitaries to attend the Paralympic opening ceremony. Canada has also recalled its Ambassador to Russia, and joined the boycott of an upcoming G8 summit to be hosted by Russia at the Olympic facilities in Sochi.

The Canadian Paralympic Committee says that the athletes are safe, and that there are no plans to withdraw our athletes. Canadian athletes have sat out of Olympic Games in the past, when we were among 60 countries to boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympics. For now, returning 2014 Olympic athletes have commented that it is important for their Paralympic counterparts to share the opportunity to compete on the world stage after so many months of vigorous training leading up to the Games. The International Paralympic Committee has said it hopes for a peaceful resolution and for the host country to respect the Olympic Truce – an existing United Nations resolution asking nations to cease hostilities during Olympic events.

Given the challenges, it is with extra emphasis that we cheer on our Canadian Paralympic athletes this week! They have worked hard to represent Canada!

Parent Q&A

  • Nutrition specialist for teen wrestler

    (3 replies)

    I am looking for a nutritionist, and if possible, with an athletics focus for my teen son who is a high school wrestler. He loves the sport and is very dedicated, which is great. However, if any one is familiar with the sport, weight is a major part of the sport, which is always a concern of mine. Additionally, my son has gotten all sorts of advice about weight "management" from fellow teen wrestlers...and as you may imagine, this advice is not always helpful. Meanwhile, my son is pretty typical growing teen, with very little fat to spare, and I don't want him restricting his diet. I need an outside (meaning not from me, his mom) voice of a professional, who is good with teens, to help him navigate this not-so-great aspect of wrestling. We are in Marin, but would be willing to travel to SF or the east bay. Thanks so much in advance!

    I don't have advice, but your post sounded like it was about my grandson.  He is slender and muscular, but to wrestle in the weight devision that is best for him he has to keep taking his weight down.  I really question the impact on his metabolism long term.  When he is cutting weight, he eats mainly protein and vegetables and some kind of blended health drinks.  Sometimes he doesn't have the energy level he needs.  He is really passionate about the sport.

    Hello teen wrestler parent.

    i am mom to a wrestler who is now 24. My son began competing in the sport his freshman year of high school, continued through college and now wants to train with the mixed martial arts guys. there is a long history of the sport in my ex's side of the family, grandfather began the high school wrestling program in the 80's and my sons father took over in the 90's and continued until 4 years ago when he passed away(not from wrestling).    I completely understand your concerns about the cutting weight part .  My son has greatly progressed from the grueling days of the hard cut to make weight, to a more manageable lifestyle of eating right, working out correctly and keeping his weight down. HE is by no means a doctor, or a nutritionist but an avid athlete with a ton of experience to share. HE is currently in training mode, similar to a wrestling season, making him in tip top shape. IF you are not contacted by a professional, you are welcome to email me back and I could put you and your son in touch with my son.  SOmetimes just having an experienced athlete explain the ins and outs of the sport can be tremendously helpful in terms of getting what your son is vying for; a spot on the team, strong sportsman like ethics and many pins without the agony of weight loss.

    Your email resonated with me because over the years, each new season the apprehensive parents come forward because they don't know. GOod for you for knowing you don't know, and for trying to help your son suceed.  Wrestling is generally filled with upstanding kids, families and coaches who care.

    i can be reached at skatermom29 [at] att.net if you would like further input or information. Good luck

    To Wrestling with Diet:

    Have you tried through your own health insurance carrier? We belong to Kaiser and were offered a nutritionist when we had some concern about eating issues with our teenager. They'd work together with a pediatric nurse. If money is no object, try reaching out to any of the professional teams here in the bay area and asking to be connected with the team sports doctor. They can then refer you to a practitioner that best suits your needs.  Good Luck.

Wrestling for college rugby player daughter

Nov 2011

My college-age daughter/rugby player wants to improve her tackling skills and thinks that learning/practicing wrestling might help. Are there any groups/classes out there during December (winter break) for this 20-year-old wanna-be warrior?

Gosh, kudos to your daughter for seeking out some cross- training. My son has been going to the East Bay Judo Institute for almost two years now. I didn't know anything at all about Judo or wrestling before we joined this little warm and welcoming community. I've learned that Judo is wrestling. There is no hitting or kicking. They also spend a whole lot of time learning how to fall. It's really quite amazing. It's become ingrained in my son's little body cells. He has fallen so many times and either caught the fall or protected himself the Judo way. It's kind of hard to explain. One of the long time instructors/black belts once shared how learning to fall was the most valuable thing that he's learned. He shared how he was playing basketball and had a fall that would have a very serious skull fracture (or something), but he saved himself due to his Judo skills. I think that Judo is also great for learning self esteem, confidence, and self defense. What I like about our little dojo, is that it is not about making money. The instructors are all black belt volunteers who are world class athletes. My son is being trained by an Olympian and once worked out with the World Judo Champion! My daughter will be starting, when she turns 5. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. judy

Wrestling for pre-teen

Oct 2011

My 12 year old has a big interest in wrestling, ju-jit-su, and all things that involve rolling around on a mat. I have heard from a few people that there are some junior wrestling programs around, one in Walnut Creek and another in Oakland, and I would love to learn more but can't figure out where they are (we already know about a lot of the ju-jit-su out there). He doesn't play any team sports, but is very athletic, and I'd love to get him involved in something that he can also carry through into high school when he's older. Thanks for any recommendations! Tara

My 11 year-old son started judo a couple of months ago. He LOVES it, and my husband, who was a high school wrestler, gets a real kick out of seeing our son take on this discipline. I enjoy seeing this group of very smart, articulate kids who are getting their chance to grapple, throw each other, sweat and wrestle. Hanabi Judo in Albany is the place, and we see family after family join and appreciate the atmosphere there--the teacher/sensei is a father of three, and he is clear, firm, and loving. It's a place of excellence with great joy and support. I have never seen my son more engaged in an activity. A Brand New Judo Enthusiast

Wrestling Camp for 7 year old?

June 2011

Hi, Does anyone know of any organization that offers wrestling or tackle football for grade schoolers? I am looking for a wrestling or tackling camp (or on-going classes)for a very physical (yet anxious) 7 year old. My son is built like a linebacker and loves to wrestle. After trying for years to guide him into sports and activities I'D rather he do (martial arts, music, capoeira, yoga, soccer, baseball), I've finally realized that he has his own interests and that maybe I should channel that need to tackle and wrestle into a something formal, where he can gain confidence about something he's natural good at. Any suggestions? Nothing in BPN archives.... Wrestling with Wrestling

Hi! We, like you were looking for a program for wrestling for our three boys and found it out in Concord ( I don't know where you live- we live on the east side of the tunnel- so it's closer to us). It's called the Community Youth Center and I have not found anything like it anywhere in the Bay Area. My boys have been attending regular wrestling classes there for the past 4 years and it is our favorite place to go. The coaches are top notch- most of them were/are olympic wrestlers and they all coach the nations top wrestling program at De La Salle in Concord. They are very good with every age group and only do things which are appropriate for the age group. They offer a camp for wrestling in the summer- which is incredibly reasonably priced plus regular weekly classes every afternoon. The monthly tuition is crazy low- like what you would pay for one class elsewhere- but your child could go every day if he or she wanted or were able.

It is a community center (it's huge- three large warehouses filled with equiptment) that offers gymnastics, dance, tae kwon do, as well as an 2 academic rooms (one for the littles and one for the big kids) and is really an amazing place. They do not, however have A/C- and if you've ever been out in Concord in the summer, you know it can heat up! My kids have always been ok with the heat, and the coaches are really good about taking water breaks every 15 min. love the CYC

(The other) Hank’s Recommendations 06/04/13

Hank_Hoffman_Picks_Image_sketch_WebBest Video’s Hank Hoffman—aka the “other Hank”—here with this week’s pick. Last week’s heat wave inspired me to rent a film I have been curious about for a long time but never seen—Lawrence Kasdan’s 1981 neo-noir BODY HEAT. Body Heat was Kasdan’s first picture as director (subsequent films include THE BIG CHILL and THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST); he had previous screenwriting credits on THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. This steamy thriller stars William Hurt and Kathleen Turner and their chemistry is combustible. Fine supporting turns are taken by Ted Danson and Mickey Rourke. The aura of cool surrounding this film does nothing to lower the temperature. Turn on your air conditioning and enjoy.

The Good Care Group

At-home care service provider

Company overview

The Good Care Group is a provider of high quality home care services that enable people to live well in their home for longer.

BGF invested £2.5 million in The Good Care Group in 2016 to fund investment in marketing and technology and explore the acquisition pipeline. The funding also supported the integration of Oxford Aunts, allowed angel investors to exit and incentivised the management team and employees. Shortly after the partnership with BGF, the company received an outstanding rating from the Care Quality Commission.

In 2019, following a period of significant organic growth, The Good Care Group was acquired by Sodexo, one of the world’s largest multinational corporations. The exit resulted in strong returns for all shareholders - including a significant number of employees.

We have achieved a phenomenal amount over the past 10 years, accelerated by BGF’s support and funding.

Having worked with private equity companies before, I know that BGF is great to work with – responsive, flexible and supportive. It’s been a pleasure to work with them.

13 If I speak in the tongues[a](A) of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy(B) and can fathom all mysteries(C) and all knowledge,(D) and if I have a faith(E) that can move mountains,(F) but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor(G) and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b](H) but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient,(I) love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.(J) It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,(K) it is not easily angered,(L) it keeps no record of wrongs.(M) Love does not delight in evil(N) but rejoices with the truth.(O) It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.(P)

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,(Q) they will cease; where there are tongues,(R) they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part(S) and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes,(T) what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood(U) behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;(V) then we shall see face to face.(W) Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.(X)

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.(Y) But the greatest of these is love.(Z)

Binwani's Heritage

Binwani’s was founded by Mr. Rupchand in the year 1925 in Riau, Indonesia. Within a short space of time, Mr Rupchand opened 2 more branches, one in Jambi and another one in Riau. He invited 2 of his cousin to help him in managing the business in 1938. He opened another branch in Singapore at No 102 North Bridge Road.

In 1940, Mr Rupchand opened his first store in Malaysia which was in Penang. During this time, business flourished. In 1948, Mr Rupchand passed away leaving a wife, 6 sons and 2 daughters behind. During this time, the store was managed by the Wife Devi.

In 1955, straight after form 5, Chandru Binwani joined the family business and started learning about the business. In 1972, Chandru Binwani came to Kuala Lumpur and opened the first branch in Jalan Raja Chulan.

5 Uses For Options

The Most Competent Royal Caribbean Travel Insurance that Suits You

In most scenario, once a person will go on a special trip, they often find it simple to assure themselves that this will be a great moment, however, one trip that you must be exceptional is the royal Caribbean cruise, since it would be a lose once you haven’t done a single thing and went there unprepared. Some of the things that you have to prepare are your itinerary for the whole travel period, your tickets, and travel insurance. The following are some of the guidelines regarding the benefits you can get from having an insurance as well as the ways of determining the most suitable insurance company.

The Significance of Travel Insurance

First, it is very necessary to spend a lot of time learning the basics about travel insurance because this will come in handy later on. Try to be weary when hearing travels agents’ opinion since some of them, if not everyone, have travel companies in partnership with a specific travel insurance company that’s why every time someone buys a ticket and after the agent noticed that there’s an absence of travel insurance, they will be able to encourage the traveler to select a certain insurance company. One of the most important thing to keep in mind when travelling is the fact that it is really necessary to have a travel insurance whenever you decide to travel in a Caribbean cruise since anything could happen on that trip and having an insurance company to pay for all expenses will make you save more money.

Opting for the Best Insurance Company

It’s time to identify the right travel insurance company for you. The fact about having an insurance is, it is easy to sign up for one since there are a lot of available insurance companies so it will be up to you to choose and in order to make a wise decision, you must set your own criteria to ensure that the insurance company will be able to provide the best services you needed.

Specify on What You Need for Insurance

Next, is the inclusions of the packages and if you wish to sign up for a platinum travel insurance, take a look at what you can get from the package. You might have observed that this website will offer you some possible inclusions to check in insurance packages for some companies like coverage for medical, baggage loss or theft, and missed flights so try to check if the insurance package that you want have these inclusions as well.

Look for Recommendations

Make sure to ask around your circle about the most important travel insurance package and try to inquire for more tips they could contribute to help you shortcut your search and cross out those companies who failed to meet your qualifications.

In the end, travel insurance companies could really provide you various benefits when going on cruise with the members of your family.

What Should We Really Be Feeding Ducks

Although many people feed bread to ducks, there are other much more nutritious options that you can use to feed ducks near you.

What Should We Really Be Feeding Ducks©Rob Ripma
©Rob Ripma Mallards are the most commonly fed ducks.

We always want to do what is best for the birds. Unfortunately, sometimes what we think is best might actually be hurting them. This tends to be the case with bread and ducks. Bread pretty much no nutritional value but they will still take an easy handout when available. Not only is bread bad for adults, it can be even worse for ducklings. They need a diet high in protein to grow and bread offers only carbohydrates. There are plenty of natural food sources but if you still would like to feed ducks, consider these options that are better than bread.

  • Cracked Corn – You can find this at most bird feeding stores. It’s a cheap and good alternative to bread.
  • Duck Pellets – This is one of the better food options you can offer. They can be found at many farming stores and online.
  • Bird Seed – Ducks will eat the same seed that many of your other birds eat. In fact, in my yard, they tend to clean up anything the other birds drop under my feeders.

Remember, there is plenty of natural food around but if you must feed ducks, do so with food that is nutritious and not harmful.

Happy National Gorilla Suit Day!

Wednesday, January 31st, 2018 | Posted by Sean McLachlan

It’s January 31, and that means it’s time to celebrate one our civilization’s greatest inventions–the gorilla suit!

On this holiday, we dust off that gorilla suit hanging in our closet and don it with pride. The idea is that you should do at least one thing in your regular schedule dressed up as a gorilla. Go to the store, go bowling, have a drink at your local bar, whatever.

National Gorilla Suit Day was invented by Mad Magazine cartoonist Don Martin. But of course the roots of this cultural phenomenon go way back to the beginnings of cinema, when early directors found that a man in a gorilla suit took direction much better than an actual gorilla.

Goth Chick News: Pop Culture Meets Couture…

JC-RT Alien

Gather around friends, because this is kind of awesome.

Of course, we see wearable fan merchandise at every trade show and convention we cover, but for the most part the designs would be only be worn on high school and college campuses – or at said trade shows and conventions. It’s rare if nonexistent to find an article of clothing that would actually be suitable for average social situations while still paying homage to your favorite bit of pop culture.

That is, until JC-RT came along.

Touting themselves as the creators of, “a better tailored plaid shirt through the union of our analog and digital worlds,” JC-RT has taken plaid away from emo, west coast hipsters and elevated it to a new artistic level. Their standard shirts have amazing names like “Grandpa’s Haunted Attic Vintage Flannel” and the “Bell Jar” plaid, but the company recently outdid themselves but producing a line of gaming-inspired as well as movie-inspired shirts. Each piece in the two lines is based on the color scheme of a classic video game or movie poster.

The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes: Cthulhu Casebooks (Vol 2) & The Thinking Engine

Monday, December 11th, 2017 | Posted by Bob Byrne

Lovegrove_MiskatonicLast December I wrote about Sherlock Holmes & the Shadwell Shadows, volume one of James Lovegrove’s Cthulhu Casebooks trilogy. And this December, it’s on to book two, Sherlock Holmes and the Miskatonic Monstrosities. I wasn’t quite as fond of the second installment, though not because it’s a bad book.

As I wrote in that first review:

The basic premise of the… trilogy is that Watson made up the sixty stories in the Canon. He did so to cover up the real truth behind Holmes’ work. And that’s because the truth is too horrible to reveal. In a nutshell, Watson has written three journals, each covering events fifteen years apart, to try and get some of the darkness out of his soul.

The darkness exists because Holmes, with Watsons’s assistance, waged a career-long war with the otherworld beings of the Cthulhu mythos.

Somewhere in another Black Gate post, I calculated the percentage that Holmes is absent in each of the four novellas which Doyle wrote featuring the great detective. Lovegrove chose to use that novella model and it’s my biggest complaint about the book. Holmes and Watson find a journal and read it. It reminds me of the Mormon interlude in A Study in Scarlet and it takes up thirty-five percent of the book.

Fully one-third of this novel has nothing to do with Holmes or Watson. It provides background to the mystery, but it could be a standalone story and it would have no more tie-in to Holmes than an account of my going out to lunch yesterday.

The flashback takes place in Arkham and it is essentially a Cthulhu short novella. Lovegrove got to write a Lovecraft pastiche within a Holmes pastiche. Of course, these three books are aimed at fans of the Cthulhu stories, so it’s not totally out there. I’ve read stories by Lovecraft, Derleth and others. I don’t mind them, but I’m not a particularly big fan. So, I’m not the target audience for the trilogy.

Those who are avid Holmes and Cthulhu fans are likely to enjoy this second book more than I did. But the fact is that this was a third of the book with no Holmes and/or Watson.

Swing Into Action With Your Very Own Spider-Man Hoodie from USAJacket

Sunday, August 6th, 2017 | Posted by John ONeill

Drew models a USAJacket Spider-Man Homecoming Red Hoodie-small Drew models a Spider-Man Homecoming Red Hoodie 3-small

It’s a tough gig being an editor. It’s not enough to just keep a steady drumbeat of content — you also need to mix it up a bit. That’s one reason every article at Black Gate is tagged with at least one category…. makes it easier to tell at a glance when we’re over-saturated on New Releases, Magazines, and Reviews, and it’s time to commission a News piece, or something on Comics, maybe. Or Music, or RPGs.

Of course, some categories get less attention than others. Fashion, for example, is probably the most neglected category we have. Patty Templeton asked me to add it five years ago so she could do a brief feature on Crisiswear, and we’ve had maybe half a dozen reasons to use it since. Let’s just say that fashion is not my beat.

So I’m very pleased that, after producing some 4,000 blog posts here at Black Gate, today I’m writing my first fashion article. It’s because of a gift I ordered for my son’s 20th birthday: a Spider-Man Homecoming Red Hoodie from USAJacket, which Drew is so kindly modeling for us above. Once it arrived and I saw how it looked on him, I knew other members of the Black Gate community would be interested.

Like Osprey But Corsets and Khaki with a Whiff of Steampunk: Great War Fashion by Lucy Adlington

Friday, September 4th, 2015 | Posted by M Harold Page

In a warzone and yet she’s smiling. Why?

First, take a look at the young woman on the cover, “A despatch rider in the Women’s Royal Airforce enjoying a tea break while seated on her motorcycle, 1918.”

She’s most likely in a warzone. She’s probably not had a bath for a while. Might have lice. Any men in her life have a good chance of not making it to Christmas with all their body parts, or at all. She’s living under military discipline. And, as she rides around, she might herself get blown up or strafed.

And yet, she’s smiling.

You really have to read expert fashion historian Lucy Adlington’s Great War Fashion: Tales from the History Wardrobe to truly understand why she’s smiling.

And fashion in the book’s title is an understatement. This is more the kind of thing Osprey would publish — kit, context, consequences and case study. It’s certainly less about the minutiae of stitching and fabric, and more about the clothes women wore, why, how, and what the experience was.

As promised by the subtitle, “Tales from the History Wardrobe,” it’s packed with stories from women’s original letters, diaries and reminiscences, so it takes us beyond fashion and into the evolving role of women from about 1910 through to 1920.

Four Tricks for Dealing with The Unsightly Scars of Righteous Battle

Friday, January 9th, 2015 | Posted by mariebilodeau

Arnold as Conan-smallIt occurred to me while writing about the benefits of chainmail bikinis that one of the major downfalls is the vast amount of exposed skin. Not for any morality or mortality reasons (although those do make for interesting points), but rather for the sheer amount of maintenance that would require. I’m not even talking about shaving and waxing. (We all agree that Conan *must* wax to pull off that oily muscled look, right?)

And let’s be realistic. Wow, the scars adventurers must have. I mean, I once had a tick removed from my tender tender belly flesh. That’s what you get for running in the woods fully clothed, so I flinch at the thought of running half-naked in the woods. You’d become a tick magnet.

Anyway, a 70-year old mostly blind doctor went at me with a scalpel to remove the tiny leg still stuck in my flesh and, I gotta tell you, that left a scar. Now that was one tiny, super sharp and badly wielded knife. So let’s pause and imagine how many scars inappropriately armored individuals must have.

This is more about the unsightly scars left behind by being thrust at with swords, spears, arrows, knives, mystical weapons, spells, and large pachyderms. Obviously there are ways of dealing with such minor scars, leaving visible only the major nod-to-backstory ones.

In my continued efforts to support sword and sorcery fashion adventurers, here’s an undoubtedly incomplete list of tricks to deal with scarring while wearing almost nothing.

Nine (mostly) Distinct (almost) Positive Traits of Chainmail Bikinis

Friday, December 12th, 2014 | Posted by mariebilodeau

Red Sonja-smallWe’ve all heard about the downsides of the chainmail bikini.

Sure, sure, it’ll get you pierced a thousand times over and you have to wax about every hour, but could it be that the chainmail bikini suffers from a bad rap? Could our prejudices be standing in the way of one of fantasy’s greatest female armors? Should we just silence all the naysayers out there?

I think we should at least try, because I’ve yet to see a picture of Hawkeye in a chainmail bikini. (Internet, you’ve failed us all. And it’s okay. Really.)

Here’s a list of oft-overlooked awesome chainmail bikini traits, to help redirect the conversation in a more positive way.

  1. Show off your abs – Female warriors work hard, too!  After all, even Conan had leather thongs to show off his almost-but-thankfully-not-everything everything.  (Wait, is that a good pro argument? Hang on. I can do better.)
  2. No great maintenance costs – Paladins curse this one. While they have to get their armor to the smithy after every single random encounter (well, maybe every third or fifth, depending on skill level), the female bikini-clad woman can simply strut to the beach, confident that her armor was not damaged. Because if she’d taken a hit that could damage her armor, she’d be dead.

Tom Reamy, the Iron Throne, and George R.R. Martin’s Plan to Stay Ahead of HBO: The Game of Thrones Issue of Vanity Fair

Monday, March 17th, 2014 | Posted by John ONeill

Vanity Fair Game of Tthrones-smallYou know your HBO fantasy series has hit it big when it makes the cover of culture and fashion magazine Vanity Fair.

The April issue, on sale now, features a cast photoshoot by star photographer Annie Leibovitz and a feature on the making of the show written by Jim Windolf. But more interesting is a wide-ranging interview with author George R.R. Martin which covers, among other things, the true scale of the Iron Throne and Martin’s plan to stay ahead of the rapidly-progressing show.

The season that’s about to debut covers the second half of the third book… But there are two more books beyond that… A Dance with Dragons is itself a book that’s as big as A Storm of Swords. So there’s potentially three more seasons there, between [A Feast for Crows] and Dance, if they split into two the way they did [with Storms]. Now, Feast and Dance take place simultaneously… You can combine them and do it chronologically. And it’s my hope that they’ll do it that way and then, long before they catch up with me, I’ll have published The Winds of Winter, which’ll give me another couple years. It might be tight on the last book, A Dream of Spring, as they juggernaut forward.

I was also fascinated by his comments on the death of the brilliant Tom Reamy, whom we profiled in Black Gate 15:

Tom died of a heart attack just a few months after winning the award for best new writer in his field. He was found slumped over his typewriter, seven pages into a new story. Instant. Boom. Killed him… Tom’s death had a profound effect on me, because I was in my early thirties then. I’d been thinking, as I taught, well, I have all these stories that I want to write… and I have all the time in the world… and then Tom’s death happened, and I said, Boy. Maybe I don’t…

After Tom’s death, I said, “You know, I gotta try this. I don’t know if I can make a living as a full-time writer or not, but who knows how much time I have left?…” So I decided I would sell my house in Iowa and move to New Mexico. And I’ve never looked back.

Goth Chick News: The 2013 Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo

Thursday, May 2nd, 2013 | Posted by Sue Granquist

image004Last week the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2 for you cool kids) rolled into town with its usual juggernaut of the innovative, the unusual and the spandex’d.

Though this is my fourth year covering the show for Black Gate, I must say it is by far the worst place to send someone like me who has a problem with staring; especially when doing so is likely to seriously annoy a very big person in a very small costume.

But never let it be said that I shirked my obligation to a long-suffering readership. Therefore I bribed Black Gate photographer Chris Z to once again wade into a precarious situation with me, this time with the promise he could meet all the crew of the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean who were listed as special guests.

Plus, Chris would be a good deterrent if I did indeed seriously annoy someone; like Batman or Chewbacca.

Almost immediately I realized Chris Z was probably in as much trouble as I was.

The first indication was a sign instructing us to text a number if we saw anything “suspicious.” At which point Chris and I looked at each other and said in unison, “Define suspicious.”

When everywhere you look are adults dressed as super heroes, Star Wars characters and video game icons, determining exactly what constitutes “suspicious” is darn near impossible. Which makes you wonder what would cause someone to text the number as instructed.

Still, Chris and I did our very best to put on the mental blinders and run through a full-day lineup of interviews, meet-and-greets and 100 aisles of merchandise.

    2. Further increasing the spring rate to enhance overall performance. The increase in spring rate is based on the upper limits of the vehicles factory shock valving.
    3. Maintaining optimal comfort level for street use.

    Spec R springs are wound with the same engineering and material as our sports springs. With the exception of stiffer rates and slight change in ride height; you can expect the same characteristics as our sports springs.

    Note: Vehicle drop rate is based on the year, model and option of the test vehicle, and may vary based on each vehicle condition.
    All the specs above are subject to change without any notice.
