Serious cuteness alert!

How cute are these three sisters after their grooming session?!<br /><br />These cuties are owned by my friends in the States. I love getting pictures of the dogs sent to me - perks my day right up!<br /><br />They are adorable Yorkies - one being teeny tiny, a tea cup Yorky. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcYpZIJPdt5tKbuGvhA49SyaEcA2ItlnFb4OUNVi6l0zPEGretrQy-ycWFHndS0J3Arg1Cove_p-kJWGsOhQNkOerkLoGvlzndhUfzsNfoD8PSeqbbLf6gsMeZD-w6IRG4rI-2wNI7Nof3/s640/blogger-image-2023570713.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcYpZIJPdt5tKbuGvhA49SyaEcA2ItlnFb4OUNVi6l0zPEGretrQy-ycWFHndS0J3Arg1Cove_p-kJWGsOhQNkOerkLoGvlzndhUfzsNfoD8PSeqbbLf6gsMeZD-w6IRG4rI-2wNI7Nof3/s640/blogger-image-2023570713.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LFwbCPMokf1DaVwAxnpWeVP6xJa-CAOzqJ5BrMhTOtwLu3XrjdatQjHEQY5sraff1p5gmNN7F-09ae29wFdCdSfr_wReH8n5WqaHF3cCRJghlJ8-QhMdBgr_LQq9OgEzBFHjDJGXeSs2/s640/blogger-image-121253731.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3LFwbCPMokf1DaVwAxnpWeVP6xJa-CAOzqJ5BrMhTOtwLu3XrjdatQjHEQY5sraff1p5gmNN7F-09ae29wFdCdSfr_wReH8n5WqaHF3cCRJghlJ8-QhMdBgr_LQq9OgEzBFHjDJGXeSs2/s640/blogger-image-121253731.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakLpIeLFOErSwt1-04pGf60DztTNEtB3xMV8rmequeMOEVdyBzY0b9XW8-jYWT7h-RkA0rXITLGFfhBTqeE09eYhAFqQSN_lwlJsUhOFR606pAi6PHx4Ud2xh4hMiXCJeBdwz4ptYy3Cu/s640/blogger-image-1547184024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjakLpIeLFOErSwt1-04pGf60DztTNEtB3xMV8rmequeMOEVdyBzY0b9XW8-jYWT7h-RkA0rXITLGFfhBTqeE09eYhAFqQSN_lwlJsUhOFR606pAi6PHx4Ud2xh4hMiXCJeBdwz4ptYy3Cu/s640/blogger-image-1547184024.jpg" /></a></div>

Brekkie by the canal

It was sunny this morning. We bought breakfast in Donnybrook Fair and ate by the canal.

Fade Street Social

We were meant to go to Dylan McGrath's Fade Street Social a few weeks ago. However our friend who was organizing the night couldn't get a reservation so we ended up eating elsewhere.<br /><br />Today was such a nice day we cycled in to town (me on my bike, Ciaran on a Dublin Bike). After sauntering around for a bit we went to Fade Street Social for lunch. We ate at the bar which was buzzy and fun. It was tapas in this part of the restaurant (the Gastro bar) - the restaurant proper opens later. I was disappointed to hear that they were out of both lobster (there was a lobster hot dog that sounded great) and cod - a busy weekend obviously!<br /><br />Some of the pics below are of what we had. Ciaran ordered what was called a burger on the menu but when it came out it was really a slider - he wasn't surprised as for €9 it was all he was expecting. However, I do think they should consider amending the menu. <br /><br />We also had Chinese pork belly with peanut brittle - this was way too fatty - I wouldn't order it again even though the flavours were good.<br /><br />I had a charred tuna loin. Amazing! Cooked perfectly rare with what I thought was artichoke (I think) and dill.<br /><br />Ciaran had chicken with caramelised onions with parma ham. And we also ordered skinny fries with onion purée and Parmesan truffles.<br /><br />The chips were disapointingly frozen chips.<br /><br />We had a carafe of Malbec which was very tasty and made a good pairing with the food.<br /><br />I'll let the pictures do further talking. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both;

Inequality and marginalization, the dissolution of the traditional family structures and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">inefficient judicial and police apparatuses</b>, are according to the UN the main causes for such devastating crime rates. Between 2000 and 2010, homicide rates increased by 11%; with HONDURAS being the leading country with 85 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. In the EU, the rate is 1.6%.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">According to the BID study, mothers and children suffer most from the violence. Children of abused mothers have a birth weight of 2.5 kg, which is below the average, and often suffer from diarrhea and are vaccinated less frequently. This indicates that violence is a further impediment for social advancement.<br />If in a region in Mexico, the murder rate increases by one percent, the real estate market drops by 1.8 percent. Particularly violent regions showcase higher unemployment rates and less industries settling there. Such regions consume 6.8 percent less power in comparison to safer regions.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">HIGH RATE OF PUPILS ABANDONING SCHOOL</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> </span></b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Young criminals in COLOMBIA on average attend one year less in school than their peers and 15 percent abandon training more likely. In URUGUAY, one of the most “peaceful” country on the continent, the costs caused by violence and crime annually amount to 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, or 3.1percent of the GPD.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">BUSINESS WITH FEAR</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN;">"We have thus for the first time a tool to measure the economic costs, crime and violence cause.

Shopping heaven

I briefly met a friend in the city yesterday. She had just over an hour free between finishing work and then making a hospital visit. We made a flying visit to 3 shops. <br /><br />First stop was "Kilkenny Design". I had told my friend that I was looking for earrings and she said she had seen the perfect pair in here. They were perfect so I bought them in two different colours. They are crystal earrings with a small drop and I chose one in pink and the other in nude/beige. I also bought a bag here.<br /><br />Next we went to Brown Thomas. In the Waterford Crystal dept we were shown a new "Mixology" range which is exclusive to BTs for 6 weeks. It is mix and match coloured etched glassware. We remarked how Great Gatsbyesque it was!!! At this point I should mention that I was on my bike so I was not going to buy glasses - never mind the price of these lovely items!<br /><br />We then made our way across to Marks and Spencer's. After buying a Get Well card, my friend had to dash off. I bought a few items for dinner in the food hall from the Dine in for 2 range. I then had to leave town as all that I bought barely fitted in to the panniers on my bike!!!<br /><br />Have a look on www.kilkennyshop.com for lots of lovely Irish and other beautifully designed pieces.<br /><br />If you are in the US, copy and paste this link for more info about the new crystal from Waterford http://na.wwrd.com/ae/us/patterns-k-o/mixology/icat/wf_mixology/<br /> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6_eK_-PAff-vuXFfDgdy2LLpg6NP-YGS7n5qch7vzhv1_UNZGVernWiwRrn2nXj5owNBwsCpG8uqJ8kUNRtLvb848GcpxdM20oQz9TCOYftQSQcBojny9RBsJjCRoutbu8e73OyrAsgC/s640/blogger-image--935613515.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6_eK_-PAff-vuXFfDgdy2LLpg6NP-YGS7n5qch7vzhv1_UNZGVernWiwRrn2nXj5owNBwsCpG8uqJ8kUNRtLvb848GcpxdM20oQz9TCOYftQSQcBojny9RBsJjCRoutbu8e73OyrAsgC/s640/blogger-image--935613515.jpg" /></a></div>

Monday is a Bank Holiday in Ireland - is it in your country too?<br /><br />Bank Holidays are always on Mondays here, I don't know whether that is the same in most countries.<br /><br />We had breakfast in The Farm on Upper Leeson Street.

Wiggly things!

There was a lot of talk of snakes here. My friends in the States sent a video of a snake they found in the skimmer of their pool (yuck!)<br /><br />This got me thinking of worm composting. I looked on YouTube for info about wormeries. It was all very interesting but unfortunately made for some very strange dreams. Probably best to not be looking at this type of thing just before bed!

Codenamed,M4,the mid range variant of the phone follows the same design langauge that we've seen in the One.<br /><br />The phone would sport a 4.3-inch 720p screen, and will be powered by a dual-core processor, unlike the One's quard-core CPU.It will have 2GB RAM and the same ultrapixel camera that featured in HTC One. It also features two speaker grills on the front and comes with Beats audio.It will house a 1700mAh non-removable battery and offer 16GB of internal memory.Dropbox also makes it easy to edit and share files while you are on the go, so you never have to email yourself a document again. To discover all that Dropbox can do, sign-up or log-in to Dropbox on your HTC phone and receive 25 GB of Dropbox space free for two years<br /><br />Evleaks had said that the M4 was a premium smartphone, which would be one notch below the HTC M7 and will come with a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon SoC running Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), along with Sense 5.0. He had also confirmed the other specifications including LTE support. The G2 meanwhile is rumoured to be an entry-level device with a 3.5-inch screen with HVGA display, 512MB RAM and a 5-megapixel camera. This smartphone is touted to have a 1GHz processor and run Android 4.0.<br /><br />Evleaks' leaks have mostly turned out to be reliable, so it's likely that we might hear about the new phone from HTC soon.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Here are the device's core specifications at a glance</strong>:</span><br /><br /><ul><li>HTC UltraPixel Camera</li><li>4.3-inch 720p screen</li><li>dual-core processer</li><li>2GB RAM</li><li>Android 4.2</li><li>16GB internal memory</li><li>HTC BOOM SOUND- sharper, richer,louder</li><li>Highlight video</li></ul>FULL SMARTPHONE<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Published by <br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/112865615030946176397" rel="author">Priyanka</a>

The previous two installations, <a href="http://archidose.org/wp/2011/10/03/sci-arc-graduation-pavilion/"><i>Netscape</i></a> and <i>Centerstage</i>, were designed for the school's graduation ceremonies in 2011 and 2012, respectively.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBa7_eyny7JNou1d2HDV8js1FP7ZBtZQfXDGg9lRzQYrdS4Yxc6xhGf6wiMyHMmrzjZrzbljjYOEQ6hKz-lZIegV9Q36XWwrbue0YgkDjhqNZr1pEF35EiBMgJ7otaGBBihptWeyTrjzCF/s1600/Storm+Cloud+10,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative+(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBa7_eyny7JNou1d2HDV8js1FP7ZBtZQfXDGg9lRzQYrdS4Yxc6xhGf6wiMyHMmrzjZrzbljjYOEQ6hKz-lZIegV9Q36XWwrbue0YgkDjhqNZr1pEF35EiBMgJ7otaGBBihptWeyTrjzCF/s640/Storm+Cloud+10,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative+(Custom).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />With SCI-Arc celebrating its 40th anniversary, the school commissioned the new pavilion for the after-party of its April 2013 gala. Tasked with the challenge of revamping the existing <i>Netscape</i> pavilion, Oyler Wu Collaborative saw the project as an opportunity to take a completely different approach to the problem. By removing the ten miles of knitted ropes that once hung between the soaring steel trusses, the project was transformed both volumetrically and materially. Using a minimal amount of new steel elements and cable supports, a spandex fabric was stretched between the elements, giving the pavilion a new life and an unexpected volumetric presence.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-SKovBEfON3Hw_LdhUa87-DR3ASHx0j_SmgIierXljhNsg4lCIkz8k08-hbQ0Kvs3DMucN85NsTeklrGuxvAD_Q7Ft4_XWoEPvfcWE6DzdthdrKj_mGfz9VkgnPenvSqURsfKRJeZdZD/s1600/Storm+Cloud+11,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative+(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm-SKovBEfON3Hw_LdhUa87-DR3ASHx0j_SmgIierXljhNsg4lCIkz8k08-hbQ0Kvs3DMucN85NsTeklrGuxvAD_Q7Ft4_XWoEPvfcWE6DzdthdrKj_mGfz9VkgnPenvSqURsfKRJeZdZD/s640/Storm+Cloud+11,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative+(Custom).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Geometrically, the project involves a series of funnel-like forms that extend from the rectilinear canopy structure above to a series of rings that are hung from the columns at around eye level. In the original conception of the project, the rings were simple geometric loops, but this relatively straightforward geometric approach presented a difficult problem in terms of fabric patterning. At the heart of the problem was the dramatic difference in the circumference between the upper portion of the canopy and the lower rings.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl384cjhNfCSJzLAa1LXRcIQa22IURwrjb9ZEw1ic5zTkvmHcMo7OFR6pDvXM9PDsjmfiuQEqOY28egd8o6Abdz4ST2-OHTLc4OWtZo-CgAPmlgAkrWGoT46wXtTXOEAGcOu26jWLGNZ-3/s1600/Storm+Cloud+12,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative+(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl384cjhNfCSJzLAa1LXRcIQa22IURwrjb9ZEw1ic5zTkvmHcMo7OFR6pDvXM9PDsjmfiuQEqOY28egd8o6Abdz4ST2-OHTLc4OWtZo-CgAPmlgAkrWGoT46wXtTXOEAGcOu26jWLGNZ-3/s640/Storm+Cloud+12,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative+(Custom).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />As a way of dealing with the problem, the eye-level rings were converted to more eccentric shapes made of bent-steel tubing. With the circumference of the eccentric shapes carefully sized to match the circumference of the upper canopy, the strategy effectively eliminated the need for patterning of fabric, while producing an undulating, curtain-like effect on the surface of the funnels.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgHCfWNjCWJ4wh5WtFL5C6BQHuKAI4yv3AVD6xv15rzITnZWOkGKyuKEOxKC1KL8uTt1HFx-JWVBrpQ4gya8mQ0VzZA_CnzWsfyHe7dcyXbh473tTIynJLBZR4EUWLMBna8_HymeusPo2/s1600/Storm+Cloud+2,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative,+Photo+by+Clifford+Ho+(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFgHCfWNjCWJ4wh5WtFL5C6BQHuKAI4yv3AVD6xv15rzITnZWOkGKyuKEOxKC1KL8uTt1HFx-JWVBrpQ4gya8mQ0VzZA_CnzWsfyHe7dcyXbh473tTIynJLBZR4EUWLMBna8_HymeusPo2/s640/Storm+Cloud+2,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative,+Photo+by+Clifford+Ho+(Custom).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />One of the more striking features of the scheme is the oscillation between the reading of lines (in the structural system), surface (revealed at the base of the funnels), and volume (most present in the overall external view of the pavilion). What begins as a reading of volume ultimately reveals a system of deep spatial cavities through which an intricate structural system moves in and out of view. Both natural and artificial lighting effects accentuate these qualities further.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Z1hndGqNNCLTChNijGl2wE4vJWgyTiXtKqKbCSUt3v5htQbdYW_HCZpiP_Gq0MGBytJhPrcXT7rUVr2RzHJoVVlKYCzPGkpJV2Obo0_L8stQQM_r4Fk8GFgivVdVDuMRBFxt1BHMD314/s1600/Storm+Cloud+3,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative,+Photo+by+Scott+Mayoral+(Custom).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_Z1hndGqNNCLTChNijGl2wE4vJWgyTiXtKqKbCSUt3v5htQbdYW_HCZpiP_Gq0MGBytJhPrcXT7rUVr2RzHJoVVlKYCzPGkpJV2Obo0_L8stQQM_r4Fk8GFgivVdVDuMRBFxt1BHMD314/s640/Storm+Cloud+3,+Oyler+Wu+Collaborative,+Photo+by+Scott+Mayoral+(Custom).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />The thinness and lightweight color of the fabric produce a changing set of effects as natural lighting conditions change throughout the day. The fabric is at times translucent with a ghostly network of structure revealed beyond, and at other times opaque with dramatically warped shadows cast across the undulating surfaces. The lighting for the after-party was an opportunity to take that one step further, using changing color gradients to highlight the eccentric forms at the bottom funnels.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
