Buying Guide: What is a Whole Home Humidifier?
For all they do, whole house humidifiers aren't terribly complicated. For the simplest explanation, you've got two major types of humidifiers that can assist in your home:
1. Strong portable units.
Portable units, not surprisingly, are movable humidifiers that can comfort homes up to 3000 square feet in size. The most common type is evaporative units that blow air across a wick filter. Water makes its way up the wick and evaporates as dry air moves over it. The wick moisturizes the air and does away with unwanted particles. The fan then pushes out clean, invisible moisture.
2. A unit attached to your existing ductwork.
While there are a handful of different types of these units, the principle is pretty much the same. Just like a portable unit, it's going to put moisture into the air through a similar principle of introducing moisture from water and evaporating it into a warm air stream produced directly from the furnace. The difference, however, is that this unit works as a humidifier for the whole house using your ductwork, so every room that has an air vent is now putting out air with the right balance of humidity for comfort.
Each type of whole house humidifier is controlled by a humidistat, a device that can set to a moisture level that is comfortable for you.
Exactly which kind you need is really up to you and your circumstances. For most homes, a hot-air based system will cover everything you need because your system already runs through your home, thus your whole home humidifier can get to everything easily. If, however, your heating system doesn't completely run through your house, either because you have added an extension or you just don't prefer to use your system at all, you would probably have more luck with a portable setup.
While both units will cover the whole home, you may find that the portable unit is easier to reach and maintain, but it does require constant emptying of the tank, usually daily or every other day at the minimum. The cost for one is also less but you may find yourself looking for the proper placement for humidity to stretch throughout all corners of the home. Either way, both types will make your home much more comfortable, whatever the season.
What Are Benefits of a Humidifiers for the Home?
Because a home humidifier makes all the air in your home more comfortable, it takes care of a lot of problems you might not have ever considered before. As we brought up earlier, an environment that's more arid will also allow certain viruses to thrive. What this means for you is that you're going to be putting a lot more pressure on your immune system in two ways; the dry air allows the viruses to travel more easily, as well as keeping the helpful moisture out of your respiratory system to combat them.
In addition, folks living in big cities or other areas with particularly bad air pollution will feel the effects more in dry air than in other places. Without any moisture in the air to dilute it, pollution from larger cities can really contribute to respiratory problems like asthma and allergies, especially in young children.
Would you believe that a home humidifier can also make your home feel warmer, causing you to use your thermostat less? By mixing water into the air, a whole house steam humidifier can actually make the air around you feel warmer without the need to turn up a thermostat. Particularly in the cold, dry months, this can really add up to savings on your utilities bills.
Finally, having no moisture in your air can start to affect your home as well. Because the wood in our homes still depends on a small amount of moisture to keep its shape, being in an environment that's too dry can cause the wood to warp and crack, as well as paint to chip.
While this can look bad and cause your older wooden furniture to show deeper wear and tear, it can also compromise the strength of your home's supports and foundation. By introducing just enough moisture to let your wood keep its shape, you can keep your home standing strong for longer, without the need for costly repairs.

The Republicans' latest plan to rein in the Federal Reserve is, to damn it with the faintest of faint praise, their smartest yet. But it's still nowhere near convincing.
It might be hard to believe, but Republicans weren't always so suspicious of the Fed's efforts to revive the economy. As Paul Krugman points out, you only have to go back to the last time a Republican was in the White House to see that they thought "aggressive monetary policy can reduce the depth of a recession." That's changed, though, during the Obama years. Now they think the Fed has gone too far, and compromised its independence in the process. Paul Ryan, for example, has said that the Fed's bond-buying "looks an awful lot like an attempt to bail out fiscal policy," and called for a commodity-based standard to replace our fiat one. That's just a hop and a skip, forget the jump, away from an outright gold standard—a barbarous idea whose time will never come again.
But here's the most perverse part. At a time of high unemployment, Republicans don't want the Fed to worry about it anymore. They only want the Fed to worry about keeping inflation low. That's because they think this kind of single mandate would have prevented the Fed from doing quantitative easing. But they're wrong. Former Bush adviser Greg Mankiw points out that, because inflation has been below target, the Fed probably could have justified its bond-buying even with only an inflation mandate. So Republicans need an even more restrictive plan if they want to handcuff the Fed.
And that plan can be summed up in three words: the Taylor rule.
Now, before we get to the details of the proposal, here's a little background. The Taylor rule itself is something all monetary economists have used since Stanford professor John Taylor proposed it in 1993. It's just a formula that says how the Fed should set interest rates based on inflation, and, to simplify a bit, unemployment. It might not always be the last word on policy, but it is the first. Indeed, back in 1995, then-Fed governor Janet Yellen explained that she used the Taylor rule to "provide a rough sense of whether or not the funds rate is at a reasonable level."
But Republicans want it to be the only word, or close enough to it. Specifically, they want to force the Fed to pick a mathematical rule for setting interest rates. The Government Accountability Office would then audit the Fed's decisions to make sure it was, in fact, following its own rule. And the Fed would have to explain to Congress 1) why it ever deviated from its rule, and 2) why its rule deviated from the Taylor rule, if it did.
This isn't just a ham-handed attempt to intimidate the Fed from doing what it thinks it should. It's also bad policy. Here's why.
1. The Taylor rule doesn't work when interest rates are zero. Take a look at the chart below. It compares what a simplified Taylor rule says interest rates should have been with what they actually were. Now, as you can see, the two track each other remarkably well—until 2008. That's not because the Fed suddenly stopped using the Taylor rule as a guide. It's because, in the aftermath of the crisis, the Taylor rule said rates should have been -7 percent, but, in the real world, the Fed couldn't cut them below zero.
(Note: Mankiw came up with this modified Taylor rule, and Krugman later re-estimated it).
What should the Fed do when the zero bound prevents it from setting rates where the Taylor rule says it should? Well, one answer, as you might have guessed, is quantitative easing. Another is forward guidance. But Taylor—the man, not the rule—has been a vocal critic of both. So it seems that committing to the Taylor rule the way he and Republicans, whom he advises, would have wanted would have meant much tighter money. Maybe not enough to turn our Great Recession into a full-on Great Depression, but at least enough to turn us into Europe.
2. Policymakers need flexibility. The world, as you might have noticed, has changed since 1993. And it's changing still. That's the problem with telling the Fed not only what to target, but how to target it, too: what worked before might not work as well in the future. Take the labor force. Unlike in 1993, it's shrinking now, and that, together with slower productivity growth, might—though this is hardly certain—push down the natural interest rate. The Taylor rule, though, assumes the natural interest rate is fixed, in inflation-adjusted terms, at 2 percent. In other words, it might have a tight-money bias now.
Or take unemployment. It's not clear how much, if at all, the headline rate is understating the slack left in the labor market. That's because there are still so many people either working part-time who want full-time jobs or are too discouraged to even look at all. So, once again, a strictly rule-based approach that only plugged in the official unemployment rate might have a tight-money bias.
3. Which version of the Taylor rule are we even talking about? Taylor first proposed his rule back in 1993, and, ever since, economists have been proposing their own tweaks. Some put more weight on inflation. Others put more on unemployment. But, in any case, there isn't any reason to enshrine the original Taylor rule into law over these other Taylor-type ones. Not there's any reason to enshrine any of them into law.
Reform conservatives have been alone on the right in calling for the Fed to do more. They still are. Though this Taylor rule idea is better than the single mandate or commodity standard ones that Republicans have trotted out before, the point is still to stop the Fed from using unconventional policy.
In other words, Republicans are still more the party of Rick Santelli than Milton Friedman.

A Potato, Cheese And Bacon Gratin
I was dreaming about this dish ever since I saw it on With A Glass last month. Then I finally made it a couple of weeks ago. What can I say except holy noodle, it was good! I could not get reblochon cheese, so I used a large package of brie. Thank you Sissi, it was magnificent! So magnificent in fact that we ate it all up and there was nothing left for me to photograph.
I decided to add less wine and to replace the cream with the crème fraiche I made last night. The one thing to keep in mind is to use white wine. The second tartiflette I made with a rose, but I did not like the colour it had. Use only white wine and use it sparingly. The reblochon is not quite as soft as the brie and to compensate I combined brie with some Asiatic shredded cheese. I used a large brie but you can use a small one just increase the Asiatic cheese. Do not slice the brie ahead of time. It will stick and you will have a hard time separating the pieces. I adjusted the original recipe to reflect all the changes and I must say this one turned out to be a rather good tartiflette! I am sure it would have been better with reblochon, but what else can one use in Kamloops? Thank you Sissi's for introducing me to the world of tartiflettes!
1-1/4 kg red potatoes
4 strips of thick bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, sliced
salt, pepper
1 cup Asiatic cheese, shredded
Large plain brie with rind included, sliced [350 g]
1/8 cup dry white wine
1-1/2 cups crème fraiche
• Peel and slice the potatoes.
• Transfer potatoes to a pot.
• Pour boiling water over the potatoes. This is important, because starting to cook the potatoes in cold water will leach out their flavour into the water.
• Cook the potatoes al dente.
• Drain the potatoes and let them cool down until you can handle them.
• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Chop the bacon and cook them in a non-stick fry pan on medium heat.
• Meanwhile chop the onion and add to the bacon in the pan.
• Fry them together until the bacon is a bit crunchy and the onion has softened.
• Spray an ovenproof casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Add a layer of sliced potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the mixture of bacon and onion over the potato layer.
• Place the remaining potatoes on the top.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Add the wine distributing it all over the dish.
• Scatter the Asiatic cheese on the top.
• Pour the crème fraiche over the entire dish.
• Slice the brie with the rind.
• Arrange the brie with the rind side on the top.
• Place in a preheated 350F oven and cover with foil.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake until potatoes are soft and the liquids are all absorbed.
• Before serving let the dish rest for 10 minutes.
• Serve tartiflette with a green salad.

I think pretty much any girl named Sheik or Shaik is simply bound to be super hot, not the least of which is Aussie exotic supermodel Shanina Shaik, who pleases our special spots to no end.
The highly sought after model appears in a small, but smoking hot pictorial in our favorite aptly named magazine, Jack, where she shows off just one ridonkulous body in itty bitty bits of clothing. It's quite the visual feast. Enjoy.

For Eddie Boucher 3/14/2011 A Friend, A Brother in law
The memory I have of the 4 of us
is this….
Years ago
on a weekend night after dinner
in your living room
a bit tipsy
a little high
"Rumours" on the stereo
Your 2 sweet daughters
in the other room playing
and getting ready for bed
bursting into the run
blonde curls flyings
giggling and thrusting themselves
into arms willing
to give good night kisses and cuddles
She stands in the door
Watching the scene
mother love glowing on her face
she sings along to the music
and he notices
and starts to sing with her
dance with her
the girls snuggle on our laps
and watch their parents dance
something special is happening
this night
a twinkle in his eye
an answering one in hers…….
a blessed moment
We leave them alone
and put the girls to bed
We leave the music
We leave the magic
of the 2 of them
soon to create another
a beautiful baby girl
Blessed and magic moments
are to be remembered and loved
Thank you for this one Eddie
God Speed Eddie. May you enjoy yourself up there in heaven with all your family especially with our beautiful Stacey!
All our love, Cathie & WalterPosts by catherine anne hayes (101).

The S-Curve is done
While is is very pretty and eye-catching, building the only S-Curve was a bear of a job. The challenges were:
- The curve traversed an area that ran parallel to the floor joists
- The curve required making one almost perfect 90 degree curve followed by another 90 degree curve
Since the S-curve ran parallel to the floor joists, it was difficult to locate a secure mounting point for the ceiling hangers. Considering the weight of the track alone, attaching the mounts to drywall is not sufficient and I didn't want to open up the ceiling to put a cross member between the joists. So, I adjusted the starting point of the curve so that the ceiling mounts zig-zagged in line with one joist and I used only one screw in each mount. Since the curve alternates sides of the mounts, this should be sufficient to avoid a bow. I will put expanding screws into the dry wall to secure the free side of the ceiling mount. The final result of the problem with the joists is that there is a gap in one of the curves where I could not put a ceiling mount. I am considering putting one in just for cosmetic purposes.
The curves are not perfect curves. Even though they came from a jig that was a perfect curve on the work bench, the wood had inconsistent spots in it that caused some areas to bow more than others. When stacked one on the other, the curves are very close to each other, but when cutting the ends to make a perfect 90 degree curve, a difference of an inch can be the difference between a good curve and a ruined one. Case in point, I cut 1.5 inches to much off of one curve, and had to work to rebuild the end so that I would not lose one of the curves.
So, here is the requisite picture. This first picture is straight on looking down the length of the floor joists. The first half of the S-Curve has the ties mounted and the second half is bare. The second half of the curve also does not quite meet up with the next ceiling mount and if you look carefully, you can see that I had to rebuild about 1.5 inches of the curve after cutting off to much. Rebuilding is a strong word…I had to brace and reglue the piece I cut off. Notice that a ceiling mount appears to be missing in the body of the curve closest to the camera because there is no joist in that section of the ceiling to get a strong mount.
This second angle shows the grace of the S-Curve as it makes the bend around the duct work. The first half has ties on it and the second half is bare. Again, from this view it is clear that a ceiling mount is missing. On one hand, the ceiling mount would block a beautiful view of the train as it moves through the curve, but on the other, the lack of the ceiling mount takes away from the symmetry of the curve. After I get the ties completed and am just about to mount the curve permanently, I will decide if I need the extra mount.

Fuelling The Fire | Adam Clewer
For some anglers, catching monster fish is of paramount importance. For others, lying low, never publicising their captures, and barely acknowledging fellow anglers (at best in hushed tones) is the norm. I guess that's what makes carp angling so interesting – diversity. Carp fishing has changed considerably over the years I've been an angler. As a carp angler of 25 years, I have endured the best and the worst times by lake or river. However, I'm still as keen as ever. What follows is not a 'how to stay motivated' article; I can think of several anglers better qualified to pen such words. Instead I will give you a glimpse into my fishing of late, and more importantly, the mindset that still maintains the fire in me and keeps me venturing out by the water.
Knowing yourself is something that comes with time. I am comfortable and aware of both my strengths and weaknesses as an angler, and I tailor my decisions accordingly. Self-awareness is a good attribute. I no longer 'make' myself go fishing; I choose to go. I have lost several good friends to golf over the years because they burnt out too fast in their carp-fishing endeavours. One angler I knew, who used to write regularly for the magazines, said to me after he stopped writing: "I'm so glad I don't have to go fishing this week." 'Have to' being the key words in his statement. I've always said that fishing must remain a hobby. For too many, if it becomes more than that, you lose the enjoyment the hobby brings.
Knowing yourself is a reflection of your individual strengths, abilities and personal desires, which, of course, must be applied in the confines of life circumstance. I have a full-time job (I'm a minister at a large city-centre church), and time is at a premium, with a diverse yet flexible workweek. I'm father to two young children and the husband of a great wife, so family time really is a priority, so my fishing needs to be planned around this. I therefore take great effort to plan my fishing diary, much like I do my work calendar. I like to fish fairly locally (within an hour's drive of my home), and try to visit a regular home/base water each week, with the occasional longer trip further afield, and one or two 'adventures' dropped in for good measure. My fishing has existed in this framework for the last few years now, and whilst it may not be as effective as the angler who fishes the same water 3 days a week, every week of the year, I do enjoy myself along the way.
In recent years, I haven't fished as many overnight sessions during the cooler months as I used to, but have still wet a line on day sessions most weeks. I, like many, also fish for other species. I am in the privileged position of living very near some wonderful rivers which offer a rich array of specimen fish. This winter, at the invitation of a landowner my family knows well, I agreed to form a small coarse syndicate on a beautiful stretch of the Hampshire Test. My family has a long-standing connection with the estate, and I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed trotting a float with 2lb line straight through for specimen grayling, the occasional roach, and the all-too-often mischievous and swim-destroying out-of-season trout. I have continued to fish for carp too, but unlike in the warmer months, have fished no sessions over 24 hours, on waters where, in theory, a bite is never too far away.
Looking back to the latter half of 2015, my carp fishing experienced several changes. For 3 years I was a member of a syndicate that held some beautiful fish; however, I never really gave the lake the time it deserved. 'Why?' you might ask. I loved the fish, yet at times despised the 'scene'. The water had far too many members; a recurring scenario being the lake was so busy that an arriving angler was dictated to where they must fish. I didn't really like that, and whilst I always found the other members pleasant, I did not enjoy the contrast of emotions of driving to the lake excited to be going fishing, only to become instantly dejected when I arrived at the fishery gates. My response to this was to often fish elsewhere; the ticket was rarely used as I explored other avenues in pursuit of quiet fishing. In the summer of 2015 the membership changed, and the owner increased the syndicate fees beyond what I felt was realistic value – not least given that I wasn't really using my ticket before the price rise. My decision was easily made; it was time to leave the circus.
I spent the autumn and early winter fishing a mixture of waters, catching several good fish, including a PB mirror of 47lb 15oz, on my first visit to a new water. As the autumn began the transition into early winter, I fished a few nights on Sandhurst Lake, catching several good fish to low-30s. November 1st saw the beginnings of our new river syndicate, which, although apprehensive at first to be in the driving seat of forming the membership, has turned out to be a complete success. My desire was to form a membership of like-minded anglers with good etiquette, which averted the need for rules and bailiffing duties, which I really don't have time for at all. My view was that if we got the culture right, the values would follow. They did, so thanks guys! In early December, I left the dull English weather behind and headed to Gran Canaria for a few days' fishing, hosted by the excellent Carpers Paradise guys. What a fun trip we had, with warm temperatures and breathtaking views; the location truly lived up to its name – paradise. The fishing was relatively slow by their standards, with seven fish falling to my rods in 3 days, but sadly none of the scaly monsters which Gran Canaria hides in its underexplored waters. As the year ended, I summarised that I was pleased to see the curtain fall on 2015, believing that 2016 could only be better.
My distaste with last year wasn't so much to do with my angling, but the premature death of my brother, 3 years my senior (38). I haven't told many people this story. In the weeks that followed my brother's death, I found myself enjoying something of an escape in the warm climate of California. I had been in the US attending a conference, and tagged on a few days at the end to enjoy some fishing with the team from CarpPro. The trip, which I wrote about for International Carper last year, was a fantastic success. I did, however, omit to detail something that happened, which almost never happens when I go fishing. Let me explain.
My brother James had something of a compulsion for excitement and adrenaline, with roller coasters and theme parks very much being his happy place. He travelled often, riding on some of the world's most extreme rides – always smiling and laughing in the photos. However, there was one park he never made it to, and one particular ride he often spoke of. The ride, which goes by the name of 'X2', is the world's first 4D roller coaster, and its seats spin as it drops 200ft+ through ravines, dodging explosions of fire. James would often watch a YouTube video of this ride, and aspired to tick it off his to-do list. Unbeknown to me, the fishing trip I enjoyed in Southern California was only a short drive from Six Flags Magic Mountain, where X2 resides.
On the last day of the trip, David Smith of CarpPro asked me if there was anything I needed before we headed off to LAX airport. I paused for a long moment, and then asked if we could leave slightly earlier, so I could call at Six Flags on the way to the airport. I explained the background, and David kindly agreed. With the car packed, and my passport and return ticket in my back pocket, we made the slight detour and arrived at the gates of Six Flags just before they opened. I paid $70 for my entrance ticket, and asked the attendant where the X2 ride was located in the park. When the gates opened, I set off on a gentle jog, keen to get to the ride before the long queues formed. I made it, and with a hint of tears in my eyes, manoeuvred my way through the queuing rack before boarding the ride. The experience was bizarre -- the ride was truly intense, but the emotion and strange connection with my brother was surreal. I did it for him, knowing he would not have been impressed to learn I was so close yet didn't ride it! After being turned and flipped many times, which resulted in me feeling truly disorientated, the ride pulled back in to the station. I got off and walked out of the park, passing the crowds entering the park, excited for their day ahead. David was waiting for me by the gate, and kindly drove me to the airport to catch my plane home. That moment was hugely special. Words are hard to find, and will remain no doubt etched on my memory. Thank you again, David, for understanding and accommodating what no doubt appeared to be quite a strange request!
Over the Christmas period, I spent many an evening researching possible fishing opportunities. I read by the fire of an evening, and watched some online fishing using my newly acquired Amazon Firestick. I must say that I'm not a fan of many of the online blogs. Too often, the angler seemingly spends more time fishing for sponsors than fish. However, one evening I stumbled on some videos by brothers Carl and Alex. What a breath of fresh air - they're superb! Their videos are well edited, free from product plugs, and they don't sound like many do, with gangster tones desperately trying to destroy the English language. They really are very good. It's reminiscent of times gone by, when the enthusiasm of our beloved hobby meant sleeping the night before a fishing trip was nigh on impossible. After a prolonged break, and being much enthused, I was really keen to go fishing again.
My first fishing trip of 2016 was 2nd January, and was spent by the clean running water of the Hampshire Test. My first carp-fishing escapade followed 2 weeks later, in the form of 24 hours on a fairly well-stocked day ticket venue. Upon arrival I learned that the lake was fishing poorly. The mild winter had eventually turned, and for 3 days the previous week, the lake was frozen. I pushed my heavy-laden barrow, slipping and sliding through the muddy banks of the recently thawed countryside. Four or five anglers were also fishing, all huddled under their shelters to shield themselves from the cold wind. As I set up, I really did question my sanity. Eventually, both rods were fishing, and although the conditions were poor, it was good to be out, and I was hopeful of my first carp of the year. To my surprise, as the sun set and darkness covered the water, my bite alarms came to life. I had very little confidence that night, but amazingly landed five fish to low-20s. All my fish were caught using small PVA bags of pellet, with a splash of Cell glug. I spodded a mixture of pellets and particles over a slope on the edge of a bar, and caught all my fish on the same rod. Simple tactics, albeit accurate fishing. Not a bad start to the year.
Inspired by my previous week's success, the following week I loaded the car with carp-fishing rods once again, and this time set off for the Isle of Wight ferry terminal for a day session on Rookley Country Park. The Isle of Wight could be renamed the 'Isle of Carp', such are the phenomenal waters and impressive carp growths the small island now boasts. Much of this success must be credited to Tim Oately, who has worked tirelessly in this pursuit. My day on Rookley was slow, with one small double gracing my net. The water was very cold as I slipped the small mirror back, but I couldn't help but wonder where this small fish might be in a few years' time. You never know, it's maybe another island monster in the waiting.
The nature of magazine deadlines means I'm writing these words during the second week of February. I have, therefore, spent more time this year planning my fishing than executing it. Next week I'll be back on the banks of Sandhurst, a fabulous fishery which really has captured my imagination for the year ahead. Glancing at my diary, I have quite a few fishing adventures planned for the coming months. A trip I'm really looking forward to is a week's fishing on the St Lawrence in New York during late summer. As is always the case with my fishing and my articles, the approach and tactics vary little. Once again, my car will smell of the creamy aroma of Cell boilies, and simple yet sharp rigs seem to continue to do the job nicely. I have been using more pellets again in recent years, partly for convenience, and partly because on many of the waters I have been fishing, particles have seen something of a mini revival.
Writing this feature, I am brimming with expectancy for the year ahead. My title, 'Fuelling the Fire', relates simply to the continued effort and self-motivation required to keep fishing in all seasons. As I trundled through the local park with my dog this morning, the grass crunched underfoot with ice particles, as I exhaled the visibly chilled air. However, the early-morning melodies of birdsong could be heard, the sun climbed into the sky, and the morning frost was quickly burned off and replaced with the early signs of spring. It's time to go fishing.

UPDATE RE: AWARDING OF VIETNAM LICENCE Date: 18th April 2013
Helping Hands Adoption Mediation Agency (HHAMA) is delighted to inform you that we are the first agency to be accredited by the Department of Justice and the Adoption Department in Vietnam, under the new Adoption Law in Vietnam. Helping Hands have been awarded a licence to facilitate adoptions for Irish applicants. There are now 28 agencies working in Vietnam.
Following this accreditation, there are now a few procedural items to be finalised with the Adoption Department in Vietnam, the Adoption Authority of Ireland and Department of Health, Children and Youth Affairs, before applications can begin to be processed.
We intend to hold information meetings for every applicant in the coming months, to inform you of the new procedures in relation to adopting from Vietnam and to discuss your individual application. Applicants who are fully registered with us will be dealt with first. We will be in touch with every applicant in the coming weeks and months.
Due to the backlog of applications already registered with HHAMA, we are not taking new registrations at present. We will email those on our mailing list and update our website when we have further information regarding accepting new registrations.
At this stage you do not need to do anything regarding your application. We will contact you in relation to what paperwork you require and what paperwork you need to update.
We endeavour to finalise outstanding matters in a very timely manner and ask that you bear with us during this stage. Please note that we have no indication at this time when we will receive the first referrals. This is a matter beyond our control and we ask for your understanding regarding this.
We appreciate your patience up to now and wish to thank you for your support during the last few years.
We will be in contact with applicants in due course and look forward to working with you in the future.
Our website will be updated in the coming weeks to reflect the new process and new document requirements in relation to adopting from Vietnam.
Arc Adoption is aware of the significant interest in adoption from Vietnam, among Irish applicants. According to the Adoption Authority of Ireland's statistics as of 14th December last there were 223 live Declarations of Eligibility and Suitability. Additional Declarations have also been issued in the first quarter of 2013.
However, there is a serious concern that the potential number of referrals from Vietnam, to approved Irish applicants, may only be a small fraction of this number. In fact, the probability is very strong that the volume of referrals of younger, healthy children will be very, very low in comparison to the number of approved applicants. There may be slightly more referrals associated with older children (5 years plus), or children with special circumstances. Under the Vietnamese system referrals are issued to accredited agencies, and there is no quota system for a particular Country.
The volume of referrals from Vietnam to accredited agencies is also a function of several weighted criteria, including an agency's awareness and compliance with Vietnamese policies; its engagement in the placement of children with special needs; sponsorship and aid programmes regarding children with special needs;compliance with regulations; and the professionalism and ethics of the agency and its members. Invitations to submit dossiers for consideration are based on the volume of children eligible for adoption,and are distributed among the accredited agencies in Vietnam based on each agency's score against the above criteria. Currently we believe there are 27 agencies from several Countries accredited in Vietnam.
Under this system, the volume of referrals to Ireland would likely be enhanced if both Irish agencies, approved by the AAI to work with Vietnam, were accredited in Vietnam. I.e. if only one agency Is accredited in Vietnam, the number of referrals to Ireland will likely be less than if there were two such agencies.
However, Arc will be forced to pause our application for accreditation in Vietnam, as we currently receive no operational funding from the State. Given this lack of State support, we cannot commit to completing the accreditation process in Vietnam.
Arc remains firmly committed to Vietnam, and to building a child-centred adoption programme there, but we require funding to enable us to proceed.
This is particularly unfortunate for the many interested Irish applicants, as referrals from Vietnam are made to agencies, not to Individual Countries. Should funding be made available to Arc, we will immediately re-start our process in Vietnam.
Apply-to-Register – Vietnam
Arc Adoption is currently seeking accreditation in Vietnam, now that the Adoption Authority of Ireland, and the Department of Adoption in the Ministry of Justice of Vietnam have signed an administrative agreement concerning intercountry adoption between Vietnam and Ireland.
We are aware of the broad interest in adoption from Vietnam among Irish resident applicants. As such, Arc is introducing an interim "Apply-to-Register" process, which will both allow applicants to express their interest in such a programme, as well as allowing Arc to provide additional information to applicants, prior to extending an invitation for applicants to meet with Arc.
If you are interested in adoption from Vietnam, and are in possession of a Declaration of Eligibility and Suitability issued by the Adoption Authority of Ireland, please click on the following link:

Submitting information through this form does not constitute registration with Arc Adoption.

I've been wanting to write on this topic for a long time, so finally I am getting this one out. I hope you find it informative.
There are many things in the martial arts that can only be learned by teaching–or, I should say best learned by teaching. I have had some discussion with freelance martial artists about my opinion that martial arts development requires full-time indulgence. There are many part time martial artists who feel that one can pursue the art a few hours a week and attain the same results as one who does the martial arts all day long. This is an absurd, arrogant notion, and not worth my blog time disputing. Bottom line, you can't. And I'll prove it to you.
But that isn't to say that you can't learn and excel at the art while pursuing it part time. Of course, what you do when you train makes a significant difference, and if you couple serious training with active testing/sparring/competing, reflection and teaching you can certainly benefit while training part time in the arts. Today I am going to discuss how teaching the art can enhance your experience.
#1: Seeing things you hadn't seen before
The first reason I recommend you teach at some point in your career is to experience the arts from the outside in. By saying "outside-in", I am referring to the switched role of student/fighter to teacher. As a student of the arts you think you understand the techniques, but you are really following directions and often your opinions are mere regurgitations of what your teacher has said, or whatever you have read in a magazine, book or internet. But as a teacher, you must take a novice from scratch and teach him the finer points, until the student is performing the way you want him to. In doing this, you will make adjustments to how the technique is executed, answer "what-if" questions, and be in a position of defense if the student is not easily convinced. This is quite difficult to do because you cannot treat the student as an adversary, so you must find the most logical way to explain the technique as well as demonstrate it. Once you have done this many different ways (as students all learn at different levels), you have looked at this technique from many angles that you most likely have not done before.
This is much like how football players look at football in a smaller way than the coach, who is on the sidelines watching everything.
#2: The Student Who Doesn't "Get It"
In our career, we will meet many students who has the coordination of a bowl of Jello or the rigidity of a statue, and you must firm up the Jello guy or loosen the statue. You will say to yourself, "If I can teach this guy, I can teach ANYONE!" And that's true! Not everyone walking through your door will be a child progidy. Many people are terribly out of shape, uncoordinated, difficult to explain concepts to, or so excited they try to talk and learn at the same time–without listening. As the teacher, you must take them all. Our martial arts is far more than just repeating what our teachers have taught us. We must grasp what we know, mix that knowledge with what we have heard, seen and felt, add a little of our own prejudices and opinions, and then mold it into the learning and physical level of the students who are attending our classes. Good luck!
This is a skill that is mostly learned by trial and error. If you are one of the fortunate few who had a teacher who also taught you how to teach, then it will be easier. Yet, most teachers learned on their own, as the art and teaching the art are like day and night, or vinegar and water. Rarely will you be able to enjoin both skills. I would say that the majority of your time, you will have to reinvent the wheel because you will find a better way to pass on the art that suits your needs.
#3: Leading your men into battle
This is one of the most important parts of being a teacheer, as it relates to your role as martial artist. It is unlike most other teachers, who teach a skill and send students to the next level (like the work force). The martial arts teacher is expected to accompany his students into the battlefield, and often maintains the teacher-student relationship well after graduation. This means in addition to being a fighting arts teacher, we will be their coach when they fight, and their debriefing officer when they return from the battle.
You are responsible for helping the fighter connect his learning, to his training, to his fight plan against each successive opponent–if you lead your students into battle. Fail to do this, and you have done nothing more than a DVD from Panther Video: teach movement alone. It is important to take your students to a place where they can fight with other fighters and refine what they have learned afterwards. This is an important stage in a martial arts student's learning career. Prior to matches, he has learned nothing more than movement. After he has had an abundance of matches under his belt, he has learned a skill. Your job is to help him navigate through this process.
I understand that many teachers did not have this experience: learn, fight, refine. But you can still help your students with their learning. No–you must help your students with this experience. Once they have had it, they will have better command of their knowledge and what they can do will catch up with what they know, and they will do it better. And you, as the teacher, will understand your art much better and can do a better job teaching the next generation of students.
This is what mastery of the art is all about.
So, I return to old arguments that have been rehashed in the martial arts community for ages: Can one become a Master without teaching? Probably not. Can one become a Master without fighting? Absolutely not. See, somebody has to do it. The teacher may not have fought, but his student better have, or that art will become diluted with every generation. Teaching your students, and then taking them to matches and teaching them some more is a very healthy, important stage in each of the levels of the martial arts: the teacher's development, the student's learning, and the art's propogation.
And one last argument: Is there a such thing as inferior/superior arts? The answer: YES.
You see, the quality of an art is only as good as the ability of the students and the knowledge of the teacher. If the teacher has not proven his knowledge, and he has not proven the students' ability, he will end up passing down unproven, untested art. "Testing" does not take place in the classroom amongst friends and family. "Testing" is an event that must be proven to adversaries who intend to prove that his way is superior to your way. You cannot get this by taking pictures and holding hands in a seminar or gathering. If a style has skipped this process, it's teachings are not worth the paper it's "certifications" art printed on.

Mee Udang
Words & photos by B.L.KHOO
Ask any Penangite to recommend a good stall selling Mee Udang and you will most probably be told to go to the southwest vicinity of Penang such as Teluk Kumbar or Gertak Sanggul. Mee Udang is a popular Malay hawker style dish that can be considered as equivalent to Chinese Hokkien Mee. It primarily consists of two main ingredients: large white prawns and yellow noodles.
The dish is served either Rebus (Cooked with Soup) or Goreng (Stir Fried) style. I always prefer Rebus as I like to slurp up the rich, flavourful soup made from tomato sauce and shrimp stock. Usually this dish is also garnished with slices of hardboiled egg, crunchy fried shallots, chye sim (mustard green), bean sprouts, green chili and a slice of lime.
Staying on the northern part of Penang Island (around Batu Ferringhi) compel me to travel all the way to the other side of the island whenever I had a craving for Mee Udang. Due to this inconvenience, I started to look around my area for this dish and not too long ago, I stumbled upon a pretty decent Mee Udang stall hidden inwards of Batu Ferringhi. Unfortunately, the couple who operates the stall kept changing their locations. Thankfully, they have finally settled down in a roadside restaurant on the way to Teluk Bahang.
Look out for Asmara Restoran on the right hand side of the road (if you're heading towards Teluk Bahang). The husband cum chef, Wazi, and his Chinese wife will greet you with a pleasant smile. Besides Mee Udang, Wazi also does Mee Ketam (Flower Crab) Char Koay Teow. The stall operates every day except Wednesday from 6.30 pm till 11.00 pm.
If you happened to be around Batu Feringgi area, do give it try as it is definitely my best choice here and I'm sure it will be yours too!

Looking back a half century, to when they were young officers, their memories of the battle of Hue are still fresh.
"What I saw was probably the most intense ground fighting on a sustained basis over several days of any other period during the war," says Howard Prince, an Army captain who worked with South Vietnamese forces.
"We were under fire, under heavy fire," says Jim Coolican, a Marine captain.
Mike Downs, another Marine captain recalls, "We didn't know where the enemy was, in which direction even."
The enemy forces were everywhere. Inside houses and tunnels and in the sewer system, and they captured the citadel, a massive castle-like expanse in this city that was once the imperial capital, just north of Saigon.
It was the bloodiest battle of the Tet Offensive and also the entire war — and it all took American officials completely by surprise, says author Mark Bowden.
"You had the incredible rose-colored reports coming from Gen. William Westmoreland, who was the American commander in Vietnam," says Bowden, who wrote the recent book Hue 1968. "[He was] assuring the American people that the end was near, that the enemy was really only capable of small kinds of ambushes in the far reaches of the country."
But then came Tet. North Vietnamese troops and their Viet Cong allies swept throughout cities and towns, into military bases, even breaching the walls of the U.S. Embassy grounds in Saigon.
Back in Washington, President Lyndon Johnson called his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, and asked for an explanation.
McNamara told him that the American people would realize that the enemy forces were stronger than they had been told, that the Pentagon was searching for targets but the Vietnamese enemies were still a "substantial force."
A substantial force. But just six weeks earlier, a top White House official told New York Times reporter Gene Roberts the war was already over.
Roberts was heading off to Vietnam, so National Security Adviser Walt Rostow gave him a story idea. He told Roberts about a new U.S. agricultural program, Roberts recalls, "which would double the rice yields in Vietnam and would win the peace now that Americans had won the war."

Insurance companies are always are interested in obtaining detailed reports on the number of accidents, and understanding the type and severity of accidents that are most common, as well as the parts most commonly involved in each type of accident. A visual report helps them make better decisions.
An insurance company needed a visual report that would be easy for different levels of management to understand, and would include information about the number and type of car accidents, their severity, details about the driver, which parts of the car were impacted, and what led to the accident.

Hi guys!
Having discussed the content of my portfolio, I want to now consider the delivery. My current portfolio is something I designed personally and coded in HTML; in other words, it's extremely simple. While a lot of people comment they like the simplicity, I want to step-up the professionalism of the design... maybe get a proper web designer to design and code it for me. The functionality could be better too. I'd like to maybe section it off somehow - a section for illustration, a section for graphic design, etc. The problem is that a lot of my previous work blurs boundaries - can character design be put under illustration? How should product design be classified? Do I have enough graphic design to warrant a seperate section? Should cartoons have their own section, seperate to design and illustration?
So it's complicated, but I want some way to target the potential clients' specific interests, so if they come in looking for illustration they don't have to bother flicking past graphic design samples. I don't wish to use one of the available template sites like the new DA portfolio, as I want my site to have a distinct and memorable identity.
I also want to include a price list (making a note of the fact that the listed price ranges are guidelines only). And something else I'd like to do is have single Illustrator illustrations - cute girls, animals and the like - which can be purchased for personal or commercial use automatically from the website.
Something like this: http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/p/penguin.asp
...only with a much clearer layout. And, ahem, better art. And set up so it's easy for me to add new illustrations to the database each time I complete a new one. Preferably with some sort of tagging system so if I were to do something like the above, it could turn up under a search for 'penguin', 'cartoon', 'single-panel' or 'gag'.
I'd also like to draw up some contracts and invoices. I used these once before freelancing but I want to start afresh this time, putting to use all I've learned. That's off-topic, just thinking out loud.
Anyhow, so I know when the time comes: who here does web design? Do you do both design and coding? Are there ways to do the sort of thing I talk about above? Can you show me examples? (Preferably of your own web design work along similar lines). What sort of charge am I looking at?

Last week on Cloak and Dagger, Tandy tried to get in good with young Mina, an idealistic Roxxon employee whose father happened to be on the oil rig the same night that changed her and Tyrone's lives forever. Eventually, Mina found out who she really was, and gave Tandy the chance to talk with her father. The downside was that he father has been in a catatonic state since the oil rig explosion. Even he trying to use her light powers didn't work as she couldn't open the door. She needed Tyrone's help and lucky for her, he just happened to her after almost being shot by Connors.
The episode starts back to eight years ago when Mina was a young girl, spending the morning with her father Ivan. Mina always goes through a routine with her father to ensure that he comes home in one piece. Of course, we all know what's going to happen. When he gets to the rig, it seems like a normal day. However, Ivan learns that the shielding tiles ordered (something important for the rig's safety) weren't ordered by Roxxon, which causes Ivan to worry. Later on, an alarm goes off on the rig, which means the accident/event is about to take place.
Once they both touch him, they reach the door and although Tandy cannot open it, Tyrone can. Once the door is opened, the two are transported onto the Roxxon rig. As soon as they get there, they are attacked by some of the workers on that rig. For the first time, they can be attacked (and hurt) by while within someone's mind. Tandy, now in full control of her dagger powers, is throwing light daggers like a seasoned pro. Tyrone doesn't have offensive abilities (yet), so he manages to master his ability to teleport, so that the possessed rig workers cannot hurt him as he fights with them. They make it to the room where Ivan is and talk with him. However, Ivan isn't too helpful. He doesn't even know his own name. He's excited as they are new people he sees, and even more excited that they "have names." It's clear something wrong is going on. After the first alarm goes off, Ivan tells them that they have less than two minutes before the rig explodes and they have to shut off the vale, but they won't be successful. Tandy and Tyrone then run to the core room to try and shut it off, fighting more rig workers during that time. However, time runs out and then there's an explosion.
As soon as the explosion happens, Tandy and Tyrone end up right back in the room with Ivan. Because they are in his mind, they are stuck in a time loop. It's essentially Groundhog's Day for them. They continue to relive the same two-minute scenario over and over through the episode. They find out that Ivan's mind has snapped and doesn't remember anything of his life outside of this two-minute event because he's done this more than two hundred thousand times. When Tandy brings up who she is and her father, Ivan remembers he's the "guy on the phone."
They all wake up at Ivan's hospital. Ivan has no idea who they are, even though they all went on this adventure in his mind. Mina is ecstatic that her father has regained consciousness after eight years. Hopefully, Tandy can get some much-needed answers concerning Roxxon now. Tyrone and Tandy go back to their different homes. Tyrone goes through his box of memories (including Tandy's ballet shoe) and finds an old tape recorder of him and his brother rapping. He then gives Tandy a call as he just "needs someone to talk to." It's clear that the two, who are first, couldn't stand each other, are now connected in a very deep and emotional way. They both listen to him and his brother's tape on the phone, finding comfort in each other.
Next week, they take the fight to their enemies:
