What is Chiropractic?
Taking A Natural Systemic Approach To Healing
Chiropractic is an overall way of looking at the human body. It's based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing. The body is in essence completely controlled by the brain through its connection via the spinal cord and the vast networks of nerves that make up the body. When this system is not functioning at its peak, the overall performance of the human body is lacking.
In the chiropractic world, drugs and medicine are not utilized as a form of treating a patient. While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions can be viewed as band-aids to treat symptoms rather than going to the source and treating the real problem.
While it's often perceived that the chiropractor is solely here to treat back and neck pain, this is simply a small piece of what the profession really is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with more significant issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, headaches and many more.
Going to the Chiropractor is a new experience for many of us. Maybe we've heard through a friend or have done some research online. It's possible that you are just fed up with living in pain and it's time to do something about it. In either case, your first visit to the chiropractor will really be about getting to know the chiropractor and discussing your history, current condition and goals.
As with any doctor's visit, you'll start by finishing some new patient paperwork. Upon meeting with the doctor, you'll discuss your concerns and expectations as well as have the chance to ask any questions you may have. We will perform a physical examination and most likely take a few x-rays to see what your current state is. Once this is complete, we'll take a look at the overall results of our conversation and the exams. Together, we'll come up with a plan of action which will begin when you are completely satisfied and ready to move forward.

Mama, I'm Swollen
Midlife crisis: the record. Mama, I'm Swollen is Cursive's first record without their original drummer. Clint Schnase offers a window into a world of loss and longing: longing for youth, answers, and mommies. In our new world of hope, Cursive creates a microcosm of desolation where women are a nuisance and hindrance to a man's freedom, yet simultaneously bring them their only comfort in this dark, cold place.
On "Donkeys"—the band's shout out to Pinocchio—the band's singer and front man, Tim Kasher, wails:
I'm going to Pleasure Island
I ain't comin' back home
Mama's thumpin' her Bible
She swears we're going to hell
And papa's just jealous
He wants to come here as well
We may be donkeys
But at least we have a tale to tell
Let me get this straight. So a man running out on his partner and their child is unattainable happiness? Succumbing to the evils of the universe is preferable to supporting your family? Debatable at best! To be fair, these lyrics could just as easily be interpreted as an old man longing for his youth, the period of time when he had the option of making horrible mistakes. But "Mama and her given role of religious sour matron" seems a relatively dour vision; it may have been overlooked if the next track "Cavemen" didn't go on to say "I'm no happy family man/I'm no husband ain't no dad/I'm a goddamn caveman." Obviously someone is having family entrapment issues.
Caveman also highlights the thread of these irrepressible animal instincts, instincts that drive an individual away from modern conventions like career building and family and towards reckless spontaneous action. Somehow it is unnatural to pursue anything further than "swinging in the trees." It's safe to say that we should avoid fantasizing about the return of a time stereotyped by female caricatures that are clubbed into submission.
On the flip side, we have not one but two tracks in which the singer seems to be speaking directly to a mother figure. In "Mama, I'm Satan," Kasher sings:
My fathers and brothers
Raped your sisters and mothers
We are the sons of butchers
All in all we're pawns
The darkness of mankind stirs in us all
While the comfort of a mother's arms are the only possible solace for this man, it is women who are raped. Here is this man whining for not one but two songs—one-fifth of the album—to his mother.
Obviously, the band is coming to terms with lost love, aging, and a great period of questioning. For better or worse, Cursive has really come to no conclusions. Exposing a lot of darkness in the world with a hint of remorse for hope, Mama, I'm Swollen takes you deep into the mind of the middle-aged man. You might not like what you hear.

Well 2013 has come and gone so I thought I would just take a quick review of the year for Peculiar Perspective. I received my annual report today from WordPress and it contained some interesting information.
First, if you are reading this thank you. If you have read any of my posts this year thank you. As I mentioned in one of my posts Feedback Is Always Welcome I do appreciate any and all feedback I receive. I can look at numbers to see how many people have clicked on my blog but I really cannot tell how many people have actually read it without your feedback.
Thank you for the feedback you have given me by commenting here in comments, on Facebook and in person and please give me more in 2014 – both good and bad. That is the only way I will learn how I am doing from your perspective. I am still not sure exactly what I am doing with this except expressing some of my thoughts on topics that are of interest to me. I hope some will be interesting to you as well but whether I will ever settle on just one main theme or not I don't know. Continue reading 2013 Year In Review

How to save anonymity of your work?
Personal life must be personal, so there should be no entrance for strangers. It's like a curtain between real you and the fictitious one. In fact, almost all of us have their own «piquant secrets», but it's usually easier to live when nobody knows about it except you. The same applies to webcam business. Below is a basic list of rules, following which you will be able to save complete anonymity and security by engaging in such a profitable business.
Rules (everyone should read especially beginners):
1. Do not talk!
This is the basic law for success in any area of life. Do you remember the proverb: «When three know it, all know it.» Ideally, it's better that no one knows about this method how quickly to earn a lot of money, except you. And you can answer all curious people that you work as a freelancer at home through the Internet (you write texts, draw in Adobe Photoshop, administer websites, etc.). You can say that you work in network marketing — in this case, they will quickly leave you with further questions, so that you won't «sell» them anything.
Do not tell your friends, even best friends what you are doing and how much you earn! If you really want to help a friend who is in a difficult financial situation — do it so that she will never guess who offered to work as a video chat model.
2. Block your country and any other countries at your will at the very beginning of the work.
All large webcam projects have a function to block users by country. Thus, the probability that one of your acquaintances will see you, reduces almost to zero.
3. Do not mention the name / country / city / where you studied / real age and other personal moments.
Well, after entering these data in the search, you can really find the person you are looking for.
4. You should delete photos, where there can be seen your face or distinctive features (for example, a tattoo or birthmark) from your profile photo and open access.
Do not post on the work sites the same photos as in social networks. Therefore, your virtual clients have no chance to find you in real life. And the search for your photo from the profile on the webcam site will not lead anywhere when searching Google for a picture.
5. During sessions, do not turn on local radio and television channels. Also, do not be on sites not related to work.
Since in any unexpectedly started advertisement, an address issuing your city or country may sound, and thus it will destroy the anonymity of your location.
6. Do not talk on the phone, Skype, if the sound (microphone) is not turn off on the site.
First, it is prohibited by the rules of webcam-sites. And secondly, distracted by the conversation, you can give personal information about yourself.
7. If for any reason you plan to communicate with clients besides the site, get a separate Skype/mail/ICQ.
Nowhere show these working contacts. Otherwise, if for example you put an advertisement somewhere (no matter what topic) and you specify these contacts, it will be easy to find it using Google search.
8. Use a VPN (virtual private network) to hide your location and encrypt traffic, or special software that acts as a proxy.
Of course, it is very unlikely that somebody is very interested in a model working at home. But for your own peace of mind you can use these hacker traps. Just remember that using a VPN or a proxy server will significantly slow down the data transfer rate, as they go much further.

By Laura Mason
The thought of travelling abroad long haul with little ones is enough to put me into a sweat, and that's before I've even entertained which hot sunny destination I'd like to go to!
A few years back we bravely bit the bullet and took a six-month and a 20-month-old to Mexico. Meticulous planning and cheeky well wishes from fellow passengers aside, it wasn't actually that bad.
Fast forward a couple of years and I like to think we have mastered as many tricks of the trade as humanly possible! I've always loved travel. For some it's shoes and handbags, but for me it's travelling. I think it can bring so much to the whole family – experience, quality time and education, so I have forced myself to not be deterred by a bit more excess baggage.
Take a look at some of my hints, tips and general wisdom that should help convince you that the extra effort doesn't outweigh the end result…
Plan ahead
Planning is key; being organised really helps and prevents those last minute panics. I know it's not spontaneous or that adventurous when everything is planned down to a tee, but you can even plan in that spontaneity or make an 'on the moment' decision during a planned 'free day' so that you don't get too caught up in an itinerary.
There's enough stress and general panic about travelling abroad without having to go through it all on the day of your trip. Unless you live on the doorstep to the airport, it's worth pitching up the night before at the nearest Travelodge (or similar) for a full night's sleep and refreshed start. Better still, some airlines will let you drop your bags the night before, so while the kids are settling down to sleep, the formalities can be taken care of relieving you of even more flight day stresses.
Airport Lounges
If budget allows, an airport lounge is a great add-on to your airport experience. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be flying First Class to get the Lounge experience. Most airports, and more and more airlines feature lounges open to the general public for a small price.
Virgin's new V-Rooms are a fab space away from the hustle and bustle with a specially designed area for under fives with a variety of touch screen games, a soft play area and slide, arts & crafts table and TVs screening child friendly content, to ensure the little ones are kept fully immersed during their airport experience.
Pick your airline very carefully. I am a big fan of Virgin Atlantic, they provide a fantastic experience for families, but more importantly, the staff I've experienced have been incredibly kind and considerate and take the time to ensure you are comfortable and not ostracised for – god-forbid – traveling with children! To make flights comfortable for your baby (and peaceful for you), Virgin Atlantic have specially designed in-flight cots which you can prebook free of charge. You can also bring your own child car seat to fit in your child's seat as long as it meets safety standards.
I always get the kids' Trunkis and fill them with some games, snacks, tablets, that they can whip out should they bore of the entertainment on board.
A new find this year has come in the shape of Trunkaroo. They provide little trunks brimming with activities, arts and crafts that will entertain little ones for hours. Handily, everything you need for the activities are included within the box so they are very convenient as well as easy to pack and many come without little bits and are pretty mess-free so perfect for confined spaces!
Last of all, my overriding tip is to have confidence – raising children is a constant game of double-guessing yourself but you get there eventually. Travel is the same; if you really want to do it, try not to deprive yourself. Happy holidays!

Outfit: Christmas dinner
Today I went out for Christmas dinner with my family. We're still having Christmas dinner at home on Christmas day, but today I had my turkey at my favourite pub. I didn't manage to grab any photos before I went out because I took too long getting ready (in a move that surprised precisely no one) but here are a few shots I got when I arrived at home:

A Qualified Personal Residence Trust is a tax planning tool that allows a person to transfer his or her personal residence to an irrevocable trust that will terminate in a certain number of years and when that term ends, the beneficiary or beneficiaries receive the property outright. During the term of years, the grantor essentially has a life estate in the property. Following the beneficiary's receipt of the property at the end of the term, the grantor can remain living in the property, but must pay fair market value rent to do so. This could be a benefit as a way to further spend down a person's estate if they are close to the lifetime gifting limits and may potentially be subject to estate tax. Upon the drafting and funding of the Trust, the gift tax is calculated based on a current appraisal of the property, minus the life estate or retained interest by the grantor. This can be an excellent way for estate tax savings because it allows you to gift a property while shielding its appreciation from tax and leave it out of your estate upon death.
QPRTs have very specific terms and provisions that must be included to make them valid and to take advantage of the excellent tax benefits the trust offers. Our office can draft and fund a QPRT so that it meets with those requirements and your estate planning needs.
We invite you to learn about our services by contacting us online or by phone 310-517-8600. Based in Torrance, our lawyers serve clients throughout Southern California.

Nathan is a delightful nine year old boy who has been seen at the San Jose Scottish Rite Speech and Language Clinic two times a week for the last fifteen months. Nathan was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism before he started treatment at our clinic. His mother reported that, "Nathan had a very hard time speaking-he could not express himself and could not understand a whole lot when he was spoken to and he found it very hard to keep up." Before starting therapy at our clinic, Nathan attended speech therapy at the Sacramento Scottish Rite Child Language Disorders Clinic. There Nathan worked on social language, such as using his words to communicate
with others as well as increasing his vocabulary. While coming to the San Jose Scottish Rite Clinic Nathan has been working on inferencing, following multi-step directions, answering why questions, sequencing and recalling details of passages read to him. Nathan is a caring, energetic child who smiles often and loves beating his clinician at checkers!!
Although Nathan continues to need help with social language, his Mother reported, "He is beginning to start and even keep up conversations with his peers. We are finally able to make small conversations with him. He is at a slow pace, but finally letting us know what he feels and what is happening at school."
Nathan's Mother recently filled out a survey about their experiences at our clinic. Since Nathan's treatment began, his family noted that, "Nathan seems like a much more happier person which means a lot to us. Jenna, our therapist has aptly identified and has been working tirelessly on Nathan's core problems with a lot of patience and understanding, trying out different techniques that best suit his needs. Nathan himself realizes how much the classes here in the clinic are helping him and hence shows a lot of interest to attend." They have also told many of their acquaintances with similar difficulties about the services here at the San Jose Scottish Rite, "because of this clinic's outstanding services."

As a self-conscious emotion, shame informs you of an internal state of inadequacy, unworthiness, dishonor, or regret about which others may or may not be aware. Another person, circumstance, or situation can trigger shame in you, but so can a failure to meet your own ideals or standards whether or not they are perfectionist. Given that shame can lead you to feel as though your whole self is flawed, bad, or subject to exclusion, it makes you want to withdraw or hide yourself. So it is no wonder that shame lurks behind addictions that seek to mask its impact.
Shame is often confused with guilt–an emotion you might experience as a result of a wrongdoing about which you might feel remorseful and wish to make amends. Where you will likely have an urge to admit guilt, or talk with others about a situation that left you with guilty feelings, it is much less likely that you will broadcast your shame. In fact, you'll most likely conceal what you feel because shame does not make a distinction between an action and the self. Therefore, with shame, "bad" behavior is not separate from a "bad" self as it is with guilt.
A situation, real or imagined, might trigger a shame response when you experience yourself to be inferior in a competitive endeavor; when others might become aware of information that you want to cover-up; or, if you anticipate being viewed as lacking or inadequate, such as in intellect, appearance, or sexual performance. For example, a woman who had gained a significant amount of weight had difficulty leaving her house because she wanted to avoid the shame that was triggered by being in public. She devalued herself, and her expectation was that others would denigrate her. Likewise, a man who anticipated being judged as inadequate would manipulate, in surreptitious ways, the self-esteem of his partner. When she became weak, self-conscious, and needed his approval, he was then more confident, as well as able to blame her for any failure on his part.
Blaming or denigrating others serves to disown what the shameful person feels. Shame may lead a person to make attributions about others that are disguised attempts to restore a positive self-view or hide negative self-perceptions. In order to escape shame's self-diminishing effects, a person might instead denigrate others or express contempt toward them. Thus a person might attempt to bolster his own view of himself by finding flaws in others so that they become the one who is shameful.
In this same way, shame is especially difficult, if not toxic, for children because it is an emotion that is concealed, especially by victims of aggression or abuse. The anticipation of being shamed by peers creates anxiety in a child if he is the object of bullying. As I discussed in a previous blog ("Do Bullies Really Have Low-Self-esteem?") shame can be experienced as such a negative, intense emotion of self-loathing that it can lead one to disown it, and, in the case of one who acts like a bully, give it away by evoking that emotion in others. Kids who bully and tease can easily figure out what makes other kids ashamed, and they are highly skilled at triggering the emotion of shame in peers. And this makes shame a contagious emotion. Children also are subject to the transmission of shame when they are related to someone who is behaving shamefully. When children are emotionally or physically abandoned, abused, or neglected they often take on the shame that belongs to the adult who left or hurt them by assuming that it's because they themselves are the "bad" one. Some children behave in ways that make them culpable for the shame that belongs to their parents.
On the other hand, parents can experience intense shame because of the behavior of their children. Since an ideal, as a parent, is that children will represent one's best efforts and merits, a child who fails to achieve the desired goals, or whose behavior is an embarrassment, reflects negatively and evokes a shame response. Some parents deny any culpability in the misbehavior of their children in an attempt to disown their shame. Other parents accept too much responsibility and shame for any wrongdoing of a child.
Shame is also contagious if you take on the lethal projections of shame from a partner–especially one who is abusive. Relocating one's own shame in another person is not unusual, and it is a typical self-protective maneuver among narcissists. A narcissistic personality who hides his shame might provoke envy in others when he is plagued with self-doubt and envy himself, or project his own shame in the form of contempt. Narcissistic personalities often have the emotion of shame at their core. Needing to hide a devalued sense of self, they can appear self-inflating. Similarly, a self-deprecating manner can easily disguise a wish for approval and restoration of pride. Always fearing a negative evaluation by others, the narcissist will devalue others, or express hostile indignation about the success of those he envies, in order to deflect the shame from which he wishes to hide.
Any situation that devalues the self and triggers shame can also trigger anger or even rage. This includes situations that incite envy, stir up comparisons, evoke a fear of abandonment, or rouse fantasies about a rival's relative happiness, among other things. The anger experienced by a person who is shamed is like an all-consuming poison and it occupies a great deal of conscious thought. But if a person who is consumed by shame manages to transfer shame to a loved one, then that person will experience its overwhelming toxic repercussions. Shame, when it is taken on by a partner or loved one, can physically and emotionally make a person ill.
Regardless of the trigger, when shame is experienced the deterioration of an esteemed sense of self can be devastating. In addition to the many emotions that can accompany shame, such as envy, anger, rage, and anxiety, we can also include the affects of sadness, depression, depletion, loneliness, and emptiness as a result. And this is where shame can become a dangerous emotion. When shame is experienced as overwhelming, it can negatively color how you view yourself and how you assess the prospect of recovering your self-esteem. Even so, people do recover from experiencing shame.
As with all emotions, shame requires perspective since it is placed in the context of one's environment and current concerns. Negative interpersonal experiences that leave you feeling intense affects such as jealousy, envy, anger, or rage can alert you to the possibility of shame contagion. So you must guard against taking on shame that does not belong to you. One must always assess the inclination to hide when the emotion of shame is triggered. Hiding often accompanies behaviors that are themselves a trigger for further shame, such as addictions, compulsive behaviors, harsh self-criticism, or self-denigration. Don't be afraid to accept responsibility for your own actions that have contributed to experiencing shame. Only then can you forgive yourself.

We are together with love,
We are in a relationship because of understanding,
We are in love with trust,
We understand because of togetherness,
we met spiritually in our souls,
We felt each other in our souls.
I came to you at night!
I came to you with hunger!
I came to you looking dirty!
And you accepted me with warm hands.
I came to you with a smell of poverty,
I approached you sweating,
I came to you with broken heart,
Accept me and I will cover you with love!
Be my loved one and cover me with trust.
Who taught you this thing of love?
When did you make me used to you?
You let me believe that everything has a beautiful ending.
When did you forget our old days?
Old days when we were looking out for each other?
When you promised in the name of love!
When you promised that only death shall do us apart!
Lie to me only, and do not forget God!
Let us not be like a river that takes everything inside…

Port / Coastal Surveillance
Because of their economic importance, and large, open waters and coastlines surrounding them, ports can be a preferred target for criminal and even terrorist activity. In the United States alone, there are over 3,700 cargo and passenger terminals and an incredible 300+ sea/river facilities to make up port operations. In order to increase protection of our ports and waterways, the U.S. Coast Guard have been enforcing the Maritime Transportation Act, enacted in 2002, but a lot of ports remain vulnerable to threats from both land and sea.
Challenges specific to ports include:
- Miles of open water to protect
- Exposure to harsh, wet, sea conditions
- Possible important vessel traffic around a monitored zone
- Operator fatigue
- Occasional need to have a passive, undetectable system
- Integration with common operational picture (COP) workstation and display, AIS data for ships
- Detection of small boats in rough seas
- Detection and tracking of approaching swimmers
- Detection and tracking of every boat undetectable by radars including RHIBs
Spynel mid or long wave infrared sensors allow detection of a small boat (RHIB) up to the horizon in total darkness and inclement sea weather including fog and rain making Spynel panoramic infrared security systems an ideal solution for a port's security and surveillance needs. The systems capture 360-degree images and detect and track intrusions in real time through a continuously rotating head: essentially Spynel cameras operate like "radars with eyes."

Witnessing tough times
The key mobile technology infrastructure company reported continued sequential decline in both its top and bottom lines primarily due to weaker yields and strategic inventory adjustments, eating into the key company margins.
Each of the strategic GaN market segments including, infrastructure, CATV, Military, VSAT, PtP and others are forecasted to get tripled within 5 years, primarily driven by the enhanced customer traction for the company's innovative set of major turnkey solutions which is expected to drive long-term sustainable company growth and deliver improved shareholder returns.
Qorvo is focused on optimizing its products and services portfolio and thus, repositioned IDP to enhance its growth including, doubling of the SAM and growing the SAM CAGR by approximately 2 to 3 times.
The accelerated acceptance of new RF technologies across the high-growth IDP markets and rapidly expanding each of the GaN market segments over the next 5 years is forecasted to notably enhance the company's top line growth and continue to deliver lasting shareholder returns.
Focusing in right areas
Qorvo is increasingly expanding the year-over-year supply of 100G optical transceiver units over the years with over 5 million 100G optical ports forecasted to be developed by the fiscal year 2020.
The mobile technology services provider strategically enhanced its presence in two key technology segments including, connected car and connected home with significant innovative design wins recorded in access points and gateways. Qorvo is estimated to ship over 3 billion connected home units by 2020 and deliver 69 million connected car shipments globally at a CAGR of 45 percent over the next 5 years from 2015 till 2020.
The ongoing penetration of Qorvo in optical transport segment through advanced optical ports and visible significant growth in connected home and connected car segments is expected to drive significant customer traction for the company's key services and thus, notable top line growth and attractive stockholder returns.
Qorvo strategically bought back 4.6 million shares of its common stock for approximately $250 million. Further, during the December quarter, the company delivered $218 million of operating cash flows and bought back $250 million worth of common stock to improve shareholder value. Moving ahead, Qorvo has nearly $750 million of outstanding share repurchase authority which is believed to further enhance the key investor returns and in line with the company's continued commitment to deliver improved shareholder returns.
The consensus estimate among 20 polled investment analysts evaluating Qorvo Inc. suggests that the company would outperform the market. This consensus estimate is maintained since the investment analyst's sentiments declined on Jan 05, 2015. The earlier consensus estimate suggested investors to buy equity in the company.
Qorvo seems extremely focused on delivering attractive shareholder returns in form of dividends and planned share repurchases while continuing to attract key clients with its innovative set of products and services.
Overall, the investors are advised to "Hold" their position in Qorvo, Inc. considering the company's significant growth prospects with PEG ratio of 0.67, indicating healthy company growth and comparable to the industry's growth average of 0.73. The profit margin of 0.07% seems nominal. Moreover, Qorvo has an attractive financial position with significant total cash of $1.03 billion against smaller total debt position of $987.89 million only, encouraging the company to make future growth investments. However, the stock is hugely overvalued with trailing P/E and forward P/E ratios of 2,615.38 and 7.54 respectively, depicting costly stock against logical industry's average P/E of 17.09.

What better way to review Western food than to review what it seems, has become one of Malaysia's Western staple? I'm talking about pasta, of course. You can get almost any sort of pasta here these days–from good ol' bolognaise to pesto, alfredo, and olio. With what it seems to be a host of Italian restaurants in this city everywhere you look, where can you get great pasta?
First, we went to Dave's in 1 Utama (non halal). It's been around for ages now–maybe more than ten years? It used to be halal, but sometime in the past decade, they switched menus and now serve pork. Ordered their carbonara pasta in two varieties:
The great thing about Dave's is their lunch special–on weekdays, they serve pasta at 50% off, and without a reduction in portion size! It's such an amazing deal because their usual prices for pasta is around RM30, but at 50% off, you get a huge bowl of delicious pasta for only RM15. You can choose your own type of pasta (spaghetti, fettucine, angel hair, linguine), and the base sauce (cream, tomato or olio). Dave's has been one of my favourite pasta places for many years now. They make some of the best carbonaras in town! There is also squid ink pasta in their specialty menu, which I unfortunately haven't tried yet, but I will, soon.
Our second stop was Spaghetti Grill in Midvalley Megamall:
I ordered the Spaghetti Aglio Olio:
It was pretty plain, with just steamed broccoli and a slice of garlice bread.
It wasn't really satisfying–there definitely wasn't enough salt in it, and am sad to say that I can cook better olio than this. Aglio olio is the easiest pasta to make, so it really irks me when restaurants get it wrong… and it irks me even more when I go all the way to a restaurant only to try out something that I can make much better at home. The pasta at Spaghetti Grill definitely tasted healthy, though. Minimal oil, loads of veggies, and less salt. If that's your kind of pasta, then it's worth a shot.
Our third stop was Italiannies at The Curve.
This pesto was great! I am sometimes a little hesitant when it comes to ordering pesto, because it seems like only lately has it gained popularity in this country… so, some restaurants have not perfected their art of making pesto. It's possibly my favourite kind of pasta–I used to make pesto regularly when I lived in Canada and basil leaves were aplenty and so were pine nuts. It's definitely more difficult to get right than simpler tomato based or olio pastas, so I was pleasantly surprised by this pesto! It was actually pretty good on the whole.
The second dish we ordered was Spaghetti with Meatballs. The meatball was delicious; very tasty and well cooked. The sauce was great as well, with the green peppers inside which gave the it more of a tang. Definitely loved both the pastas we tried at Italiannies. The best part is that they have different serving sizes for you to choose from–the ones we ordered were the smallest portion, so if you're feeling hungry, you can get the bigger serving!
Our fourth stop was the secluded Retro Kitchen, located in SS2 (non halal).
The meatball pasta here is pretty good! I preferred the sauce in the Italiannies' version of meatball pasta, but the one we tried here was definitely worthy of a mention.
The smoky pork bacon olio linguine (obviously non halal) is one of their star pastas, in my opinion! Their olios are very spicy–lots of dried chilli and black pepper, so if you don't like spicy food, be sure to tell them to lower the spice level in your pasta. They're also very generous with their portion sizes–I can barely finish one plate, and their prices are pretty reasonable.
The best part about Retro Kitchen is their ambience and deco! I absolutely love all their retro wall hangings–from old vinyl records (ABBA, The Beatles) to old movie posters (The Godfather). They even have a display cupboard full of old irons; the ones which were charcoal operated!
Our next stop was Love At First Bite in TTDI:
This was their seafood aglio olio–was actually decent considering the fact that this is more of a bakery than an Italian restaurant! The pasta was well made, with a generous portion of seafood (cshrimp, mussels, etc.)
Next up was Plan B at Paradigm Mall:
I'd been here only once before, for brunch, and the service was just horrid. We waited 1 hour for our food to arrive, and the worst part was that none of our food came together! Basically, the kitchen was rolling out food in batches… so all the pastas came first, then the big breakfasts, then finally my meal! It was so annoying because one person would eat and finish it and then wait for the other person's meal to come.
So, understandably, I was very hesitant but thought I'd give it a shot since it was a weekday, and after lunch hour. We got a bowl of mushroom aglio olio and carbonara:
The mushrooms were entirely too salty. Not sure what they put inside, but the mushrooms were SO salty that I couldn't eat more than a couple of pieces. Other than that, the pasta was mediocre. Probably not worth the price, in my opinion.
The carbonara was decent–they're very generous with cheese and ham, so that's a plus point. It was very creamy and heavy, though.
Thankfully, this time, the service was good and there were no delays–perhaps because the place wasn't packed!
Our seventh destination was Zest Cafe in Bangsar South:
Pesto again, and this one was good! I'd say it's better than the one we sampled at Italiannies–the sauce was thicker and richer, closer to the original Italian pesto. I would've preferred the pesto ground up (or chopped up) with the rest of the sauce, though.
Our eighth and final stop was J Tean Kitchen in SSTwo Mall (non halal):
J Tean is really a gem in the middle of a deserted area! They serve some really interesting fusion dishes, including this delicious curry pasta. At first, I was kind of skeptical because, let's face it… CURRY PASTA? But wow, I was blown away! This pasta was so well made, and the ribs were cooked to perfection. None of that rubbery taste that you sometimes get from ribs. It wasn't too spicy (not for me, at least), and came in a huge portion! Definitely worth the price.
There you have it! Our list of good and not-so-good places to get pasta in KL (and surrounding areas).

It's the trick to justifying your business continuity budget. Exactly how much is IT downtime costing you and furthermore how much can you save by spending some budget on it? Well we can answer those questions and give you a business case for having the latest in disaster recovery technology.
Our IT downtime calculator has gone to lengths to make calculating your IT downtime cost easy. Using research from CA, we now know that for the average company the cost of IT downtime is just over £14,000 per annum. This is based on the average length of downtime is 13.8 hours, and companies experiencing 2.7 instances of downtime.
So, assuming you have 100 employees your cost of downtime is likely to be £1.4 million per annum.
If you were to use Plan B's Pre-recovery service we know that your average length of downtime would be 45 minutes. If you still experienced 2.7 instances of downtime a year (which is unlikely given that we often report problems before they are due to happen) then your cost of IT downtime is going to be just £763 per annum per employee, a saving of £13,237 per employee per annum.
Now consider you have 100 employees and 12 servers. Then the cost of our Pre-recovery service is going to be around £21,600 per annum. The total savings will be £1.32 million, giving a net savings of £1.1 million
At IP Expo on 5 and 6 October Plan B will be showcasing our Pre-recovery service. Come and talk to us about your potential savings and see exactly how we can make such bold justifications. What is Pre-recovery and how does it work? As the only provider we'll be happy to share our secrets with you (well – some of them anyway).

TRICK OR TREATY-Controversy at Haskell Indian Nations University
LJWorld.com - Lawrence, Kansas
Some of new presidents changes questioned; allegations that school will close flatly denied
November 12, 2007
Just eight months after starting her job as president at Haskell Indian Nations University, Linda Warner is being scrutinized.
She is making a lot of small changes across the campus, but combined they have raised eyebrows. The biggest concern seems to be a possible 376 percent increase in student fees. Many think such an increase would decrease enrollment, or at worst put the university at risk of closure.
Concerns such as these have been articulated on a DVD titled Trick or Treaty, which began circulating on the campus on Halloween. The DVDs were folded in an orange piece of paper that said Justice is blind. Haskell is in danger of being closed. Do not fall for their tricks.
Trick or Treaty contains a 30-minute documentary that accuses former Haskell President Gerald E. Gipp of attempting to shut down Haskell in the 1980s. It also has a short segment, Parallels of a Dictatorship, that implies that Warner is trying to do the same.
Ive cried every time I watch it, said Connie Hudson, a senior in American Indian studies.
Hudson said she just wants some openness and honesty about the changes Warner is making.
Those comments worry Warner more than the DVD.
What I think should be of the biggest concern to people, not just me, is the fact that people are afraid, for some reason, to engage in face-to-face conversations and debates, she said.
Warner added that she couldnt imagine wanting to close Haskell, which has about 900 students.
Ive never talked about doing anything but adding programs to this campus, she said.
Student fee increase?
What seems to be of biggest concern to students and on Trick or Treaty is talk of raising student fees from $210 to $1,000. A petition has been circulating, and some students are concerned that the increase will take a toll on enrollment. It was a hot topic at recent Student Senate and Haskell Board of Regents meetings.
Warner said there is no proposal and the issue is just under study. She said she wouldnt propose an increase without the support of the Board of Regents.
I am sure the board will talk about it again and make a proposal or whatever, and once they make a proposal then it would go to (the U.S. Department of) Interior, she said.
Kevin Skenandore, acting director of the Bureau of Indian Education, said Warner can increase student fees. However, he said she would need to consult and have discussion with the Board of Regents.
Small changes
Trick or Treaty questions some of Warners changes, such as why she took the football concessions away from students, why faculty and students cant send campuswide e-mails, and why Warners executive assistant was appointed as an adviser to the student newspaper.
Warner said football concessions were contracted out because of problems with staffing and supplies.
I took the recommendation from staff that we would contract out the concessions and try it out for a semester and see how that worked, and essentially the students would get the same amount of money but wouldnt have to work, Warner said. It seemed to me like it was a win-win for everybody.
She said if the students wanted to control the concessions, she would give it back to them. Warner added that the Student Senate was supposed to run a concession stand Nov. 3 during a basketball game, but nobody showed up.
So, there was an arena full of people and there was no soda, no water, no anything, she said.
As for campuswide e-mails, students and faculty were able to deliver one themselves until recently. Now, campuswide e-mails go through Lori Tapahonso, executive assistant. The policy changed because some people were sending files too large, causing the colleges computer system to shut down.
Tapahonso also was appointed to serve as an adviser to the staff of The Indian Leader, Haskells student newspaper, because of her journalism background and because Cecil Dawes, adviser for The Indian Leader, is retiring this semester. Warner hopes Tapahonso, also Haskells public information officer, will help improve the newspaper because quality has been a concern.
Jimmy Lee Beason, The Indian Leader editor, said he wasnt happy that the staff had no say in whom the adviser would be. He said he was afraid Tapahonso might try to influence the paper. But so far, he said, she hasnt done that.
Trick or Treaty also states that Warner illegally hired a relative. Not true, she said, but added, I could hire every one of my relatives as long as they are not a direct report to me and thats not against the law.
Skenandore agreed. He said the president has the authority to hire and fire personnel.
Fear of talking
Warner wishes those behind Trick or Treaty would have talked to her before circulating it on campus.
If you had a real concern, you would come in here and ask me or you would stand up and say, I think X, Y or Z. But they are not doing that, she said. So somebody is encouraging people to be sort of almost terroristic in their tactics.
James Mountain Chief Sanderville, 54, who made the original 30-minute Trick or Treaty documentary some time ago, said he wasnt responsible for the section on Warner or it circulating on campus. But he thought is was wonderful it was being watched.
People need to know the history of Haskell, he said. Sanderville was student body president in 1982 during the Gipp administration. Gipp was cleared of claims of nepotism and conflict of interest in 1989 by the Department of the Interior and moved to a position in Washington, D.C. Today, Gipp is the executive director of American Indian Higher Education.
Sanderville said he continues to fight for justice for American Indians at the federal and tribal levels. He said he wished that people could more freely question decisions that are made, but understands why they dont.
You dont see activism in Indian Country, he said. I really see what a whistleblower faces. If anyone starts questioning in Indian Country, they face internalized depression.
While students and faculty didnt want to go on record for the story, Skenandore said they are welcome to contact his office. They should contact Spike Bighorn, chief of staff at the Bureau of Indian Education, at (202) 208-6123.

Civilian killed, five injured in clashes near gunfight site in ShopianKashmir, Kashmir -IOK 2018-05-03, Comments Off 31
SRINAGAR: A youth was killed and five others injured, one of them critically, in clashes with the government forces near the site of a gunfight in Turkawangam village of south Kashmir's Shopian district on Wednesday.
As soon as the news of gunfight spread, youth took to streets and clashed with the forces to disrupt the anti-militant operation.
Reports said that six youth were injured after forces fired live ammunition, pellets and teargas at the protesters near the gunfight site.
The injured were shifted to district hospital Shopian for treatment.
A doctor at the facility said that a youth Umar Kumar from Pinjura area of the district was declared dead at the arrival. "He had suffered a bullet injury in his chest," he said.
Another official at the hospital said that five more injured youth were brought to the facility.
One among them, identified as Inayat Ahmad Malla of Maldera, had suffered serious bullet injury. He was shifted to Srinagar for specialized treatment.
The official said that two more injured – identified as Javed Ahmad of Maldera and Vikar Ahmad of Shopian – were referred to district hospital Anantnag for specialised treatment.
Earlier, police said a joint team of army and Special Operations Group (SOG) cordoned off Turkiwangam village after inputs about the presence of some militants in the area.
The hiding militants, believed to be three in number, opened fire on the approaching forces' personnel, triggering a gunfight.
Police Version
At Turkwangam Shopian, it is learnt that one civilian namely Umar Kumar who was injured in cross firing has succumbed to his injuries.
Meanwhile, four others who were also injured have been shifted to hospital and are being treated. They are all stated to be stable.
The area is under cordon and search is going on. Further details will follow.
In ongoing encounter at Turkwangam Shopian, one civilian namely Inayat sustained bullet injury and is being treated at a hospital in Srinagar.
The law and order situation is currently under control at the encounter site. General public is requested to stay away from encounter site and not to pay heed to rumours.__GK News

Hi, welcome to OSW.
I like the way you think. I had the same idea and bought one to mess around with. Unfortunately they aren't any good for 1:6. The weave is too thick and the material isn't flexible enough. The best solution is to get welded mail from the Ring Lord.

Their smallest links are 2.7mm in diameter, which is a little too large for 1:6 but not too bad.

Air is 78 percent nitrogen, just under 21 percent oxygen, and the rest is water vapor, CO2 and small concentrations of gases such as neon and argon.How important is it to have nitrogen filled tires. Nitrogen is less likely to migrate through tire rubber than is oxygen, which means that your tire pressures will remain more stable over the long term. Humidity (water) is a Bad Thing to have inside a tire. Water, present as a vapor or even as a liquid in a tire, causes more of a pressure change with temperature swings than dry air does. It also promotes corrosion of the steel or aluminum rim. Some air pumps at stations do not check for moisture in the tank To check if moisture is in the line have moisture in line depress the tire chuck's valve with your thumbnail and vent some air. If your thumb gets wet, there's water in the line.
Nitrogen fill systems deliver pure dry nitrogen. Filling tires with nitrogen involves filling and purging several times in succession, serially diluting the concentration of oxygen in the tire. This will also remove any water. It is time-consuming, for a tire technician to fill and bleed tires. But most shops use a machine that not only generates almost pure nitrogen by straining the oxygen out of shop-compressed air, but will also automatically go through several purge cycles unattended. This may cost a few bucks maybe as much as $30.00 but if you're buying a new tires, it should be far less.
Finding tire shops with nitrogen could be an issue, A recent study revealed America's Tire Co., Discount Tire and Walmart do not.
Is Nitrogen Worth It? Based on cost, convenience and actual performance benefit, it is questionable. A much better use of your money would be to buy a good tire-pressure gauge and check your tires frequently even if you have a tire-pressure monitoring system. The warning lights aren't required to come on until you have less than 25 percent of the recommended tire pressure. Having the correct tire pressure will get you many of the benefits of using nitrogen and will ensure that your tires last longer.
