Haura Nabila Rinaldi / 180410150051
Kitchen is the most important part of our family. We share our stories, recipes, and jokes there. Other than dinner table and tv room, kitchen is the place where we talk about everything – days at work, school, and so on. Our kitchen isn't that big – like those on IKEA with island and lamps hanging from the celling – but it is actually quite small and simple. Once you enter this square-shaped kitchen, the first thing you'll notice is the kitchen door. It was from some kind of black metal net with some black metal ornaments. On the front door, you can hang (kain lap) and there is a small "Home Sweet Home" sign from clay hanging next to it. On the right side of the kitchen, there is a big spice cabinet from wood. It's not full with bottle of spices, though. Across it, there's a sink and drawers with spices, different kinds of flour, and cooking utensils. It's a small but neat kitchen, though mom wanted the big ones.
Nana and I are the most kitchen users in the house. Mom uses the kitchen more on weekends rather on weekdays, but sometimes she cooks instant noodle or heating some leftovers at night on weekdays after she arrived from her workplace. Dad uses the kitchen more than mom, though, as he mostly do his work at home. He would made us lunch on weekends such as barbeques on the table which is my favorite. But the most favorite dishes of all time were the Sumatran dishes, which was nana's hometown's dish. She loves to make curries, daun ubi tumbuk, roti jala, that tauco thingy, and noodles. Not all of us can make those dishes. Those foods are only served when we asked for it or because there is some gathering, usually families or mom's old schoolmates. But sometimes we like to request the food on non-special occasions.
The most favourite dishes that always served on gatherings were curries and roti jala. On family gatherings or special occasions like Eid Fitr day, people would like that more than any other dishes. It's very unique, I could say; you can't find it on any other house. Funny fact is we do know who do what. I guess it was part of our habits. Nana would be stationed in the kitchen as she made the curry. I usually helped her too by making roti jala. I would make it on the different side of the kitchen and using portable stove, so I would not distracted nana from her cooking. If I were not available, my sister would do. But she usually do it half ways only and suddenly disappear by claiming "I am done, I did lots of it and now I'm tired" and mom or nana would continue her work. Such irritating.
Nana made her curries special, I could say. She rarely used those instant ways and more prefer to the traditional ways. She preferred to use fresh spices and herbs such as chili pepper, lemongrass, coconut milk, curry leaves, coriander, cumin, red onion, garlic, cardamom, ground white pepper, turmeric, nutmeg, cinnamon, galangal and kaffir lime leaves. Dad, on the other hand, tried to make nana's curry, once. He preferred to use curry paste or powder from Malaysia, which he usually brought it there. It was fish curry paste. The result was way different. Nana's curry was still the best.
Later that night, mom sat with me and nana in front of the television. Nana was knitting when mom just arrived from her work. She talked about the usual traffic jam between Pondok Indah and Lebak Bulus. There was a MRT construction along the road that disturbed people who passed by. Traffic was always bad, especially today on Friday. She went with her friend but she dropped her before she arrived home. And there is a long pause after she finished her story. Then she continued.
"Nan, I think my friend will come to the house," She said.
"Your friends? When?", asked Nana.
"About two weeks later my friends from my elementary school will come. You know some of them, right? They want to have the gathering here at the house. Is it okay?" she said while scrolling down her phone looking for her used to be best pal at her old elementary school.
"It's alright. But you know, your sister asked me to visit her to Australia to help them move to another house, again" She explained. Mom's sister is currently living in Australia with her husband and five kids. They moved a lot because her husband seems to have interest of their houses and sell it quite often. One of their children, Kate, once counted how many times they ever moved from houses to houses "because dad sold it to another person", like she said – and it was around 13 times.
"They moved again?" "Yeah, I need to help her"
"But they want your curry and roti jala, I can't make one"
Nan sighed.
"You want me to teach you?", she asked. "Yeah but tomorrow would do, 'kay?", mom said. Then she stands and walked to her room, leaving a small click sound on her door. Nana continued her knitting while watching the television. I asked nana what did mom said before and she began to explain to me about her gathering. She adds some information about mom's elementary school best friend and so on. Though, I didn't really care about it.
The next morning, mom, nana, and I were in the kitchen. Nana already gathered some materials for her to cook curry and roti jala. Before, she went on her garden to pluck out some curry leaves, chilies, and kaffir lime leaves. She had lots of herbs and spices on her garden. It was next to the television room on the back. Still, I rarely went there even though nana or dad asked me to gather something because sometimes if you're lucky there is a huge lizard passing by and once mom thought it was a komodo dragon – which shocked dad for a second.
Mom prepared the roti jala batter for me to cook. It was easy actually, the batter was the same as pancake batter – flour, eggs, water, milk or coconut milk, a dash of oil and a tiny pinch of salt – but it was more liquid. Usually if there is a gathering which has more than twenty guests, we use only a kilogram of flour. But if there are more than twenty guests, we use two kilos or even more.
The kitchen was busy. I love the atmosphere when the kitchen is active. Sounds of hot bubbles on the edge of the pot, whirling from hand mixer mixing the batter and the exhaust fan on the celling adds on my favorite list. While mom mixing the batter, nana put the cooked beef onto the boiling water and let it sit there. After a while, she adds the potatoes and some herbs to the boiling water. Then on the other stove, she heated the pan for frying the curry seasoning.
Dad suddenly showed up.
"What are you making?", he asked.
"Beef curry and roti jala," mom answered. The batter she mixed then strained to another bowl so there was no crumpling flour on the batter.
"What's the occasion?" "Practicing for the upcoming gathering" "Isn't it supposed to be nana who makes the curry?" "She can't, she have to go to Australia"
Dad nods and asked why. Then he observed what nana and mom did. I started to prepare my space for making the roti jala.
"You should be the one who tried to make this", Mom added.
"Ah, but I have the curry paste and it's easy to make! It will take less time too!" Dad went to the fridge hurriedly and grabbed a medium-sized bag which says "Fish Curry" on English and Bahasa. It was blue and there was a picture of a red fish on the front.
She rolled her eyes. "But you never tried it! Might taste different because it's a fish curry", She gave me the batter that has been strained and I turned on my portable stove on the other side of the kitchen.
"Alright" and he asked nana how to.
"How long do the beef need to be cooked?" he asked, opening the lid that reveals the hot bubbly curry.
"Half an hour is enough. Or if you want for hours long, it would be better. The longer the beef is cooked, the tender it will be" Nana answered.
"Yeah, as long as he remembers it" I added. Mom giggled and dad gave us his usual sigh and glare. Yeah, last time he burned the pot that contains hard-boiled egg and his water kettle to make coffee. Long story short, it's ugly.
He continued by helping nana fried the seasoning for the curry. She put a little oil, chopped onion, chopped garlic, spoonful of curry powder, half glass of water, some cumin, and galangal all in order. The sizzle sound excites me from afar. After it is done, he poured the seasoning mixture to the beef pot and stirred it. The smell of curry filled the air and made us hungry. Dad tried to taste it a bit but instead he filled up his bowl and eats up. Mom laughed.
I, on the other side of the kitchen, prepared the roti jala on the portable stove. I learned to make it since I was on junior high. Nana gave me the wide pan that we usually use for making roti jala. I spread some butter on the pan so the batter won't stick to the pan. To make the web, nana gave me the funny looking funnel to do it. The mold was shaped like a cup made of aluminum, had three small funnel on the side and a handle on the other side. When the pan is hot, pour the mixture from the mold by moving it in circular shape and make it like a spider web. There's no need to cook both sides because it's thin. Once one of the edges was curled up, removed from the pan and put it on the plate. Nana taught me to roll it like a spring rolls – fold the sides and roll.
Making roti jala took a lot of time to do it. After a whole two hours, the roti jala was finally done. Nana gathered all of us to eat on the dining table. Mom then asked dad. "Did you still remember the steps? I might be busy for other stuff so you might do it yourself," she said. Dad let a small cough and said "perhaps".
It's the night before mom's old elementary school gathering and she already prepared anything. Nana was already at Australia couple of days before. Dad was just arrived from Batam, as he was quite often gone there for having a business trip.
"Tomorrow, the gathering will be start at ten and I want you to help me preparing foods, plates, cutlery, and so on. So wake up early. Dad will unroll some of the carpets and vacuum it" Mom explained throughout her dinner. She looked at my sister and said that she needed her help too.
"So you need to wake up early, too" she continued.
"Ahh… but I don't want to. I'm so laaaaazy to wake up in the morning. It's weekend," she complained. Mom just gave her a glare and continued her dinner.
In the kitchen, she already boiled the beef for an hour or two and then the turn the stove off. She closed the pot with a lid and left it there. "Tomorrow, dad will just cook the seasoning and add it here", she said. She looked at me and continued "we need to prepare the plates and cutlery, Bia" and then I followed her to the cabinet to prepare all the serving plates, cutleries, bowls for eating roti jala, and so on. Then, we went to our rooms to have a rest.
At six in the morning, we did what mom ordered yesterday. Everyone was busy except, well, my sister. Mom did the roti jala batter for me too cook it. Dad was still vacuuming the last carpet. After he's done, he went to the kitchen with me. He took out his Malaysian fish curry and read the instructions.
"Shouldn't you use nana's curry recipe?", I asked.
"Yeah but I'm so curious about this powder. It's curry, too. I really want to try it", he said.
"What about-"
"I did tell mom and she said it's okay", he opened the bag and added the powder to the cooked seasoning and when it's done, he added to the beef pot. Just like nana did.
Mom popped up and tasted the curry. "It's… different. Fishy."
"I hope they like it, though", he said.
Finally, it was around ten. The beef curry and roti jala was served at the table. Mom's guests tried the curry and roti jala. It was the star of the day, I could say, because it's finished for just couple of hours. Even though it tasted different, I guess they liked it. One of mom's friend commented on the curry by asking me why it was different than she used to eat. I explained to her that it was dad's curry and not nana's and nana went abroad. Dad used different curry powder. Mom continued chat with her.
Her guests finally went home around three. We cleaned up the plates and all. It was a tiring day. Dad asked mom and I about their comments to the curry. Mom told dad "one of my friend realized it was different. She preferred nana's than yours". Dad let a sigh and said "it was just an experiment, though."
I laughed and continued "yeah, nana's better".
"Next time, we're using nana's curry rather than dad's", mom said giggling.
He never used that fish curry anymore until today, even though the bag is still on the fridge.

Love the shirt....
Saffron's looking well..............Bunny power...lol
saffron is soo beautiful ... wow ... how big do you think shell get?
around 15'... the books say that's about average for a female.. but 20'+ is possible.. we're in no hurry for that, though... I'm seeing her head and body getting thicker/bigger, but she had been 'stunted' by underfeeding for at least a year before I got her.. I think her growth rate is in 'catch-up' mode.. once she's the right weight for her size/age (which I think she is, now), I have a feeling we're gonna see her begin to lengthen at a pretty good clip.. 8) which reminds me.. time to put in an order for her food.. :roll:
wow she's going to get big then, maybe one day I'll be able to care for a snake like that.
lol im gonna stick with my ball and my igs :roll: they're a handful enough at the moment
yeah a lot of you guys have multiple pets, I only have this one snake, and I won't get another snake for like another ten to fifteen years.
They're like tattoos, they can get very addictive.
Looks like Saffron loves your shirt too Doug, she seems to be checking it out in the pic. :wink:
I started off with 1 and ended up with a total of 12.
I think snakes are actually more addictive then tattoos.
I only have 3 tats and I have had those 3 now for a couple of years.
Ok where did you get the T at doug? I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
Haha, love the shirt Doug xD And I love Saffron, as always <333 I want her D= And she does look like she's checking out your shirt xD But to me it's more of a "I'm way better looking than that snake" kinda look.
I would never get a tattoo simply because I'm afraid of needles =/ But I do want my lip pierced ... I'll have to get drunk to get it done, though, because if I have my better sense about me, I'll never go through with it, but I REALLY want it!!! D=
I do know that once I move out of my house, I want to get more snakes =/ I just talked my mom into letting me get one not long ago and so I'm thinking maybe around next year, after she gets used to having a snake in the house, I'll see if I can trick her into letting me get another one. Besides, they'll only be in her house for about 4 years. Not very long and they won't get very big in that little bit of time. Especially not if they're corns, but I'd like to get a Rosy Boa next O.o But that still won't have enough time to get very big, so she won't be creeped out :D

Want to Be More Productive? Stop Asking How You Can Be More Productive
We all want to be more productive. But it's hard to achieve when you're not asking yourself answerable, actionable questions—like these.
We all want to increase our productivity; in today's go-go-go workplace (and world), it's necessary for survival. But it's also something that most of us struggle with.
One writer argues that it's because we're asking ourselves the wrong question.
As Charlie Gilkey writes on Productive Flourishing:
"How can I be more productive?"
It's a question that many of us ask ourselves without realizing that the question, as stated, is impossible to answer. Just as I prefer achievable goals, I prefer answerable questions.
Here are 50+ better questions to ask than "how to be more productive." Some are different ways of saying the same things, but that's a good thing.
Examples of questions that are more "answerable" (and therefore actionable) include "Are you clear on what the priority of work is?" and "What could you get done in the next 30 minutes that would either check an important block or make headway towards doing so?"
You can check out the full post and all 52 questions .
How can these re-framed questions help you be more productive today? Any light bulbs go off as you read them?

Let us build a world of greater peace and understanding.
Let us stop interfering with other's choices.
Let us free ourselves from fear by not attacking.
Let us learn the spiritual lessons that come from loss.
My Dad was a pacifist and left his young family with an infant and toddler in the care of his capable but 23 yr. old wife.
He told us that he might not return since they placed him in the infantry.
He was clear he would not kill another man who might be the father of another young family.
As my Dad put it….."Wars are never between the soldiers with the guns.
The disagreements are between nations and their leaders.
The soldiers are usually young men and boys who are taught to hate and kill."
And so I learned to find better ways to win the war on hate and violence.
The history of mankind appears to reveal that warring never brought peace into men's heart.
The healing of humanity seems to come through working, playing, talking and sharing hope and dreams.
When we learn about one another, we find similar hopes and dreams, beliefs and desires among all simple people.
When we remove the lust for power, the greed and avarice of the leadership, among ordinary people there is the deep and earnest desire for peace and safety, living simply and giving our families the opportunity for education and health care.
While I still have some visual memories of 9/11 and its horrific toll and aftermath of terror, I have strengthened my faith in finding a better way.
Many more than the number killed on that day have been killed in battle, in Spirit, and in suicide, plus the thousands of families destroyed by the pain and economic devastation of injury, death and psychological stress. For me, war is always an option, but there are better ways.
Taking the high ground is the call for great and enlightened leadership.
Now to those who have given their lives in duty to the leadership of our country, I
am deeply indebted and seek to give them everything we can to restore their lives to peace, harmony and health.
I mourn the loss of peace in our nation.
I mourn the loss of trust.
I mourn the loss of Christ-like ideals.
Remember, my Dad was a pacifist. a conscientious objector.
However, his beliefs were disavowed by the government and he was sent to the frontlines of France with a gun in his hands.
He was unwilling to hate and kill "the enemy", even though he knew he would likely be killed.
With prayer, the war ended while he was in a boxcar on the way to the frontlines.
And my Dad came home physically safe and whole.
However, my father was never the same.
He would never talk about the war.
He held what we saw inside and desired only to find peace.
His life was devoted to making international friendships through American Field Service, an exchange student program, and through their personal travel to 85 countries as ambassadors of peace. Staying the homes of those they knew through AFS.
Seeking to always find a better way, he chose to work on mediation panels in his community and to mend any broken bridges.
Yes, I applaud my Dad and Mom for being willing to be leaders in simple and ordinary ways.
Taking the path of Peace is often not celebrated or appreciated.
Taking the path of peace means giving up the need to fight to be right.
Taking the path of peace means listening first and seeking to understand the others viewpoint.
Taking the path of peace gives everyone a greater perspective on the equality of all people, rich and poor, young and old, believers and non believers, educated and ignorant.
Yes, the path of peace may be lonely, but someone must step up and call for all leaders to find a better way.
I am loving and serving the Highest Good of all humanity the best I know.

superfreakonomics and sexwork
Take a look at this article in the Guardian that makes the argument that the authors of the new book "Superfreakonmics" got it all wrong when they wrote their chapter on sex work.
Here's an exerpt from the article:
Good news, ladies. You, too, can make millions by charging for sex! And you'll just have a slam-bang, gee-golly splendiferous time doing it, too – at least if you absolutely adore the sort of men who pay for it. Be warned, however: Disliking those men will consign you to the minimum-wage ranks of sex professionals, forever longing for the big bucks you could be earning, had you only an appropriately chipper attitude….
Levitt and Dubner build their piece around a comparison of two prostitutes: Allie, who works from her bedroom and makes between $350 and $500 an hour, depending on the client, and LaSheena, who works on the streets and probably makes about $350 a week, based on statistics (some information – any information – as to LaSheena's specific circumstances and earnings probably would have helped the comparison, but Levitt and Dubner seem, in this instance as in many others, not to have bothered learning about their subject).
LaSheena and Allie are the Goofus and Gallant of sex work, at least in the warped little scenario laid forth in the Superfreakonomics excerpt. Arising, as Levitt and Dubner seem to assume they do, from absolutely no context whatsoever (the fact that Allie is probably white, and that LaSheena is probably not, is never once addressed, for example; neither is the personal history of LaSheena explored in any detail, though we hear about Allie at excruciating length) they are not actual women so much as they are flattened-out, hollow caricatures of Success and Failure. Allie is a good prostitute; she has succeeded. LaSheena is a bad prostitute; she has failed.
Be sure to take a look- it's a very interesting article.
Women beaten in India after being accused of being "witches"
BBC recently reported a story about 5 women in a remote village in India that were branded as "witches" and as a result, they were dragged into the street, beaten and forced to eat feces in front of a jeering crowd. The five women are said to be Muslim widows and were labelled "witches" by female neighbours who claim to have a gift from the Holy Spirit to detect those practicing witchcraft.
Hundreds of villagers watched while the women were dragged in the streets, striped and beaten…but no one stepped in to save them.
According to BBC, hundreds of people (mostly women) have been killed after being accused of witchcraft by their neighbours.
What a graphic, inhumane example of misogyny …and how tragic is it that no one stepped in to help these women.
Why we should observe persons day
Why should we observe Person's Day?
What is its significance for us now- 80 years later?
October 18, 1929, women were deemed persons under the law. The decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in England to overrule the Canadian Supreme Court and declare women "persons" according to the British North America Act (our Constitution at the time), was without doubt a major victory for women and an important step on the path to equality. But it was not the end of the journey by any means. Asians were not allowed to vote until 1948, Inuit until 1950, and status Indians until 1960. Quebec was the last province to give women the provincial vote, in 1940.
Later known as the Famous Five, the five women activists in Alberta who were responsible for the landmark decision of October 18th, had fought long and hard for women's rights. They believed that women would bring a different perspective to the political arena and they were right. They fought for and won legislation and measures in the areas of social assistance for widows and immigrants, protection for children, property rights for women in marriage, vocational training for impoverished working women, prison reform. Each of them was instrumental in establishing one or more women's institutions that carried on the work of service and equality, some that continue up to the present day: the National Council of Women; the Federation of Women's Institutes; the Victoria Order of Nurses: the Working Girls Association (a forerunner of the YWCA of Montreal), United Farm Women of Alberta.
The work of equality is not done, however, and women's voices are needed more than ever in the fight for social justice and equity. Women still lag men in earning power, they still carry an unequal burden of care for children and the elderly and disabled, are still 4 times more likely to experience violence than men, are still underrepresented at all levels of government and in positions of power in our society. In a little over a month, on December 6, we will mark another key anniversary in women's history in Canada- the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre when 14 young women were gunned down for the simple reason they were women presuming to move in a man's world.
Hamilton wants to be the "best place to raise a child…" But we have failed to acknowledge that behind every poor child is a poor mother- often a single mother. Until we tackle women's poverty we will not see a measurable improvement in child poverty. In the words of the old union hymn Bread and a Roses "The rising of the women means the rising of the race."
80 years later, the work of the "famous five" to have women take their rightful place alongside men in society continues. The challenges of the issue are further complicated by poverty and racism which compound the sexism in society, by perpetuating inequality between and among women from different socio-economic and ethno-racial backgrounds. Being a woman in our society puts you at a disadvantage; being a poor woman, a woman of colour, and especially being an aboriginal woman, puts you at much higher risk.
This year to mark the 80th Anniversary of Person's Day, the Zonta Clubs of Hamilton and the YWCA have joined forces to mark the historic occasion and also to raise awareness of the work that remains to be done, especially in regards to the situation for Aboriginal women. We are hosting a special Person's Day Breakfast on Monday October 19 at Liuna Station and have invited Dr. Dawn Martin-Hill of the Indigenous Studies Program at McMaster University to speak about the situation for aboriginal women. Achieving equality means more than passing a law. Until all of us are equal, none of us is equal.

Life Beyond Shelter
Today YWCA Canada released Phase III of Beyond Shelter Wall with Life Beyond Shelter.
The report is incredibly well researched and makes a number of good recommendations. A "well done!" to principle researcher Pamela Cross and the YWCA Canada team.
October is Women's History Month
So let's celebrate…and learn!

noon - 5 PM
The Museum was honored to host some special out-of-town guests this week, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer and his wife Rhoda Dermer. Accompanied by First Lady Deborah Bryant, the Ambassador and his wife toured The Mississippi Story exhibition with MMA Director Betsy Bradley. It was the Ambassador's first visit to Mississippi, and he was struck, he said, by the number of impressive Mississippians whose work was on display. His wife, a quilter, was appreciative of the textiles, like that of the late Gwendolyn A. Magee. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with visitors beyond the state's borders and bond over the common threads of art.
If you have out-of-town family and friends who visit the state or know of someone who could use an introduction to Mississippi's places and people, remember that The Mississippi Story exhibition is ongoing and always free to the public.

A brief defense of Hillary's H
Two weeks ago, Hillary Clinton announced her (obvious) bid as presidential candidate, and the internet exploded. Reports about her, her campaign, her standing legacy, and her wardrobe came flooding into cultural conversations. The common reaction in my design-centered circle of peers online was a resounding, "Ugh, what is that logo?"
It was my initial reaction, too. The blocky H bothered me so much, I immediately drew a quick version that was slightly more visually refined. Throughout the week following the announcement, other designers threw out their own versions of a better mark on blogs and social media. Grids and arrows and golden means came out in defense of aesthetic clarity.
I don't care too much about political figures, but I do care about design. And that H just didn't carry the punch we come to expect from not only Hillary, but the supposed "in touch" left.
Love him or hate him, Obama had great branding. It was one reason he won that election. Twice. Marketing matters.
Hillary knows this. Or rather,...

Our own personal slice of Earth Day goodness comes from local Jackson students and our Chef Nick Wallace who are planting new growth in our forthcoming urban plot, The Payton City Farm Learning Garden. The produce that is grown here will be used to help educate students about nutrition and sustainability and also serve as a hub for ingredients that will be featured in the menu at The Palette Café. This garden is dedicated in memory of Alyne Payton by Merry Walker Dougherty and Katie Walker McBrayer with the hope that it might offer the nourishment for body and soul that its honoree so lovingly provided. It is also funded in part by a grant from Whole Cities Foundation, and executed in collaboration with The Partnership for a Healthy Mississippi.

An urgent distress call from
Project Greenskin came in just as the Qularr invasion fleet
struck the city. The transmission was somewhat garbled by interference,
but as best we could make out, the base there is under assault by a
group of radioactive mutants and in danger of being overrun.
I have sensed troubling changes
in the mystic currents of that area. I am going there to investigate
and I need your help. I hate to ask after all youve done here,
but a heros work is never done. Every second counts, so we
must leave soon.
Youve saved Millennium City from
the Qulaar invasion, not only earning the eternal respect of the Champions,
but the key to the city from Mayer Bissell himself. No sooner have you
begun to celebrate your victory amidst a crowd of cheering onlookers
than your attention is diverted by two Champions greatly in need of
your assistance; Witchcraft and Ravenspeaker. The former requests that
you fly with her to Project Greenskin, where the PRIMUS soldiers are
under siege from radioactive zombies, and are in desperate need of your
help to ward off the sheer number of them.
Think of the crisis zones in Champions
Online as a cool story arc spanning a few issues of your favorite
comic series, only instead of watching the action unfold with each turn
of the page, you get to be part of the action and play the hero. This
guide will provide a walkthrough of the Desert Disaster crisis zone,
and well do our best to keep you from getting radiation poisoning
while youre out there.
Before diving headlong into the details
on what makes this particular crisis zone tick, here are a few basic
tips that should prove useful in your mission to rid the desert of radioactive
zombies and help PRIMUS get back on their feet in the area:
- You have the option to travel
between the Crisis in Canada and Desert Disaster at will, though you
can only complete one of the two zones final boss missions to complete
the mission arc.
- While youre not required
to select a crafting profession to complete the crisis zone, the result
of the quests listed below will be a Radiation Shield device that will
be extremely handy once you reach the final boss confrontation at the
end of the mission arc.
- Around the statue of Grond,
youll find radioactive bomb carriers. Be careful to defeat
them quickly and then disarm the bomb using F before it explodes
in your face. Or just run away like Sir Galahad if youd prefer.
- Most of the enemies in the
desert have ranged attacks, so dont be too surprised if you wind
up being pelted with radiation from afar. The only real danger
youll face is when the hulking mutated behemoths are running amuck.
Theyll be the guys with four arms cant miss em.
Built Ferd Tough
is an optional quest specific to the Desert Disaster zone. Its
not necessary for you to complete it, and it requires a team of at least
three heroes, but the battle is a ton of fun, and the rewards more than
worth it.
- Each mission listed below
will have the mission level in brackets for easy reference.
- While the entire crisis
zone can be completed solo, grouping can increase the challenge (and
potential rewards) thanks to the Reinforcements system. This holds especially
true for the final confrontation with Gigaton, which becomes a much
more challenging (and fun) mission should you opt to go into the Forest
Tomb with a few friends.
A Crafty Contrivance
Upon reaching the desert, your first
stop will be the head of Project Greenskin, Robert Kaufman. The
soldiers right next to the helicopter when you land will direct you
to an elevator that will take you up into the fortress and to Kaufman
himself. He will serve as your primary contact throughout the mission
arc of Desert Disaster. Along with the opening missions in the main
quest chain, he will also offer you a quest that will set you on the
path to selecting one of the three primary crafting professions. While
full details on the crafting system are beyond the scope of this guide,
the following information and quests will get you headed in the right
[7] A Crafty Contrivance
CONTACT: Robert Kaufman
QUEST TYPE: Locate NPC
OBJECTIVES: Speak with the Arms,
Science and Mysticism Crafters.
DETAILS: After speaking with
each of the trainers located at Project Greenskin, select which of the
available professions you want to learn. Each one will tell you just
what each profession is capable of creating, and theres no wrong
choice here. Pick whatever suits your fancy!
Begone Fission!
CONTACT: The crafting trainer
for your chosen profession
QUEST TYPE: Collection / Crafting
OBJECTIVES: Gather 3 common
components based on your chosen profession.
DETAILS: The requested components
can be gathered fairly quickly by checking your map for a highlighted
area where a small grouping of Skill Items is located. Once youve
collected all 3, return to your trainer who will give you a Development
recipe for a Radiation Shield device based on your profession, as well
as the final component needed to create the device. Upon creation of
the device the quest will update automatically and grant you a decent
amount of XP and Resources for your efforts. You can repeat this
recipe as many times as youd like to increase your crafting skill
while in the crisis zone.
Optional Missions

alt="Force Station Steelhead" src="/image/view/72632">
Robert Kaufman is your main go-to guy
for all missions in the desert, but there are a few additional quests
that can be discovered as you head out from the protective walls of
Project Greenskin. While optional, these will add a nice boost to XP
and can be completed fairly quickly in areas where you would already
be questing. Some good rewards for your level are involved too.
Built Ferd Tough
CONTACT: Colonel Vanderbilt
QUEST TYPE: Super-Villain Fight
OBJECTIVES: Defeat Ferd (Suggested
3 Party Members)
DETAILS: Ferds a big ol
nasty mother of an Irradiate, and hes causing PRIMUS a heap of trouble
out in the desert. Bring a couple friends for this one, as its
not at all intended to be solo-able. When you see the warning
that hes about to use a charged attack, bring your block up and keep
pounding him the rest of the time in between. With three or more
heroes to contend with, hell never stand a chance. Once youre
done, head back to the Colonel for your reward.
Grond Theft Altercation
CONTACT: Object found on ground
near Ferd
QUEST TYPE: Item Discovery
OBJECTIVES: Take a piece of
Grond statue back to Robert Kaufman.
DETAILS: Near where you fight
Ferd, youll see pieces of debris on the ground. Interacting
with one will start a quest to return the broken piece of Gronds
statue back to Project Greenskin. Do so for some decent XP and
monetary rewards.
Mission Arc: Disaster in the Desert
The following list details the main
quests youll need to complete in order to advance through the story
arc in the Desert, the majority of which will be granted by Robert Kaufman
at Project Greenskin, while others will come from Colonel Vanderbilt
just outside the fortress. Youll spend your time pounding a lot of
Irradiates into the ground, as you unravel just who caused the shield
around Project Greenskin to go down. The whole thing will culminate
in a massive battle, that will test all the skills youve learned
up to this point.
Assault on Greenskin
CONTACT: Kaufman
QUEST TYPE: Combat/Rescuing
OBJECTIVES: Defeat Irradiates
(10) / Rescue Scientists (5)
DETAILS: Right down the way
from the helicopter where you landed in the desert there are herds of
the Irradiates beating on the Projects scientists. Kill the
Irradiates and rescue the scientists to complete the mission.
Rounding Up Rads
CONTACT: Kaufman
QUEST TYPE: Collection
OBJECTIVES: Collect 5 planted
rockets from around the Grond statue.
DETAILS: All around the statue
of Grond are Irradiates with rockets strapped to their back, trying
to blow up the homage to the Deserts behemoth. Your task is
to pummel the Irradiates and collect their uranium-armed rockets after
doing so.
A Question of Suppression
CONTACT: Kaufman
QUEST TYPE: Activate
OBJECTIVES: The defense turrets
surrounding Project Greenskin are offline due to overheating.
Go out and reactivate them.
DETAILS: This ones a rather
straightforward task. There are small green circles denoting where
the turrets are, and all you have to do is interact with them to bring
them back online. Be careful though as some are guarded by Villain-level
Irradiates who hit a little harder than average.
A Second Helping
CONTACT: Kaufman
MISSION TYPE: Contact
OBJECTIVES: Head north into
the Burning Sands and locate Colonel Vanderbilt to continue the mission
DETAILS: Really simple, as its
marked on your map. North out of Project Greenskin youll find
the Colonel holed up around some hum-vees and sandbags. Talk to
him to advance the mission arc.
Doomsday Clock Ticking
CONTACT: Colonel Vanderbily
QUEST TYPE: Combat / Device
OBJECTIVES: Defeat Brother Alamogordo
and use the code found on him to deactivate the massive nuclear device
DETAILS: This ones entirely
doable solo, but it may be a little difficult due to the radiation surrounding
Alamogordo. If you have any extra radiation-defense items, now
could be a decent time to use them, but you may wish to save them for
what comes after this quest. Alamogordo is a straightforward enemy,
just with a lot of hitpoints. Use block when hes charging his
attacks, and pound him the rest of the time with your own. When
he drops, use the Sequencing Code found on his person to deactivate
the bomb in the middle of the pool of radiation.
[8] Radiation Domination
CONTACT: Colonel Vanderbilt
QUEST TYPE: Item Activated
OBJECTIVES: Take the note found
on Alamogordo to Colonel Vanderbilt Defeat Gigaton within the Radiation
style="margin: 2px; width: 210px; float: right;">
href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/72631" target="_blank"> style="width: 200px; float: right;"
alt="Force Station Steelhead" src="/image/view/72631">
DETAILS: The note tells of a
servant of Dr. Destroyer, Gigaton, and his plans to destroy Project
Greenskin at the behest of his master. It states that he is hiding
away inside the Radiation Vault and using his powers to power the radiation
shield that surrounds Project Greenskin. If hes behind this,
youll have to confront him and bring him to justice for his actions.
The Radiation Vault
Apparently Black Talon wasnt the
only Master Villain enacting plans as dictated by the one and only Doctor
Destroyer. Kigatilik is a force to be reckoned with, and its up to
you to see to it that hes not summoned by Rakshasa or who knows what
terrible fate he could unleash on Canada or the rest of the world?
Gallant Major Gertz and His Courageous Crew
CONTACT: Colonel Vanderbilt
QUEST TYPE: Rescue
OBJECTIVES: Find Major Gertz
and his Courageous Crew within the Radiation Vault.
DETAILS: This is really just
the beginning quest to get you to go inside of the Vault. Once
in, youll receive a contact from Colonel Vaderbilt detailing what
you need to do next. Apparently, inside of Major Gertzs backpack
is an anti-radiation device youll need to fight off Gigaton and his
minions. As you fight your way through the fairly straightforward
instance (be sure to toss the many forklifts lying around as weapons
at your enemies, they pack a nasty punch), youll face quite a few
villain-level Destroids. But its nothing you cant handle.
Save the radiation device for when you must face Gigaton.
Radiation Domination (Boss Fight)
CONTACT: Colonel Vanderbily
QUEST TYPE: Master Villain Confrontation
OBJECTIVES: Defeat Gigaton
DESCRIPTION: Once youve found and
rescued Gertzs crew, youll make your way to a large cavernous
opening in the Vault, where youll see Gigaton hovering in all his
glory above a trapped and deranged Major Gertz. As you approach, a
brief cutscene will play showing that unfortunately youre too late
to prevent Marjor Gertz from being harmed. If you havent already
done so, now is the time to activate your Radiation-shield device, as
the whole area is filled with radiation.
First youll have to beat up on Major
Gertz, which should prove an easy task, as he behaves like a normal
enemy. But he can pack a punch, and once youve drained his
hitpoints enough hell shout something insane and run off leaving
Gigaton quite peeved and ready to mop the floor with you.
style="margin: 2px; width: 210px; float: right;">
href="http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/72630" target="_blank"> style="width: 200px; float: right;"
alt="Force Station Steelhead" src="/image/view/72630">
He hits extremely hard, but your Radiation-shield
device should go a long way to helping you remain protected. Just
watch out for his charged radiation attacks, and use any objects around
the Vault you can find to hurl at him. If youre in a group,
hell have more defense and health, but we always found it easier
to handle him with 2 or 3 partners on our side.
Once youve defeated him, the Vault
will start to collapse. No worries, as its just for effect.
Run back out to the front entrance and leave the Vault and find Kaufman
for your reward and the chance to move on to the real Desert zone!

Punk In Africaby Luke Mason / 08.08.2011
It's the day after Punk in Africa premiered to the world and the entire stool-warming team of the Winston Pub. One of the stalwart members of Durban's new wave drunk-punks updates his Facebook status proclaiming Punk in Africa to be the most epic piece of documentary film making in history, ever. Hung-over and sardonic after the debaucheries of the film's after-party, I flippantly comment: "I thought it was pretty crap". A day later, Keith Jones, one of the directors, pulls me over at a Captain Stu gig and asks, "What exactly did you think was 'pretty crap' about the movie I've been making for the last two years of my life?" Fuck you Mark Zuckerberg. It takes me more than a moment to pull my foot from my mouth. With a deep breath this is what I tell him, well a paraphrased version at least.
The film started out telling the amazing, untold story of resistance and music under the apartheid regime. Ageing punks stare wild eyed into the camera and reminisce about the days of vigour and angst, proud of what they did and the courage that it took to stand up for what they believed in, or rather, against what they didn't. Well researched, well told, the pre-apartheid section of the movie, although not hell-of-a cinematic, is difficult to find fault with.
But then apartheid ends and the wheels fall off. The cohesive message, the unity of struggle falls away, both filmicly and in the words coming through from the interviewees. An admirable idea is replaced with a weak multiplicity and the movie begins to bounce around relatively aimlessly through the southern African music scene, focussing on musicians who, at times only very tenuously cling to the label "punk". At this stage the lack of cinematic imagery becomes conspicuous. Instead of a group of people telling us what they did and why it mattered, we're left hearing who people are and wondering why it matters. Obviously It's cool to see your friends with two storey sized heads speaking down at you, but I wasn't convinced that the image of modern South African punk music did justice to the reality. And, in my opinion, the end felt rushed.
So what you leave with is a feeling of deflation. A feeling that they went for the catchy name: Punk in Africa, when in actuality, the rest of Africa had very little to do with it. While in the beginning we saw musicians ready to put their lives on the line for their music, the movie ends with the Zimbabwean group 'Evicted' talking about having to change their lyrics to not get into trouble. One way to critique it would be the "punk is dead" perspective; the other would be to argue that maybe the film makers just couldn't find it the second time around. Watch the film and decide for yourself.
the biggest issue our local 'current' drunk bands have is getting drunk.
they have nothing in common with those who used the idealologies of punk rock for a movement of change, in thinking and action. they cant claim any alliegence. They're suburban white kids who got bored with excess and commited themselves to getting drunk as if it was a virtue. fuck those guys, what differences have they made at all? Even in changing peoples mindsets? They worry about their bottom dollar and pay cuts at the door as much as any dad rock band. the lines got blurry through alcohol a little while back, and all that came through was these entitled little shits who claim to carry the same flags as those before them, while offending everything they did through the very medium of their existence. they have no claim or right to 'punk rock'. they just wear the uniform and hope that means they went to the school.

Hey anonymous. I have three words for you:
CBGB, Ramones and The Cramps.
All accepted, documented "punk" bands who had about as much political/social commentary as High School Musical.
I'm in no way arguing against the local punk scene being a lot of "posers" and drunks these days, just saying punk is not JUST about revolution. That comes down to what kinda punk you like. And seeing as I know most of those guys today, they aren't trying to change the world. They're out to have a good time and make music accordingly.
I don't particularly see what too wrong with that. If you do, you should develop a hatred towards all modern music, cause most of it is like that anyway (unless you're hipster).
Besides, if a whole bunch of white guys sang about crime, BEE, unemployment and other middle class socio-economic problems, we'd label them as complainers or racists. Our country tends to do that to any one who speaks out.
The truth is the disenfranchised black-majority of SA should be leading the revolutionary punk movement but with ANC brainwashing and Hip Hop's pro-gang view point, it seems unlikely.
0 0
Then todays punks should distance themselves from the ethos of those who came before. Instead they preach and harp as if doused in the same flames of change. They're doused and soaked in some form of spirits indeed. and urine.
Local punk rock cant change anything anymore. It used to be a voice. Now it's a scene. Most punk rockers today feel like they're attached to that special air of difference from before that they carry and clout with, when they dont.
I mean, the biggest issue i can recall of recent memory was when Half Price started claming 'you cant keep punk rock down! fuck the system!' cause someone didn't want them to have a gig on a Muizemberg beach or something. Fucking fight the power. Oh yes, that and titties and beer.
And I dont need to develop a similar hatred for all modern music, cause not all modern music assumes the mantle with the air of arrogance and entitlement that punk rock does. What punk rock bands need to realise today is that they are no different, themselves, to other modern music, genres and scenes. At all.
Other genres party harder. Other genres care less. Other genres make more change. Other genres have more integrity. Other genres do DIY better.
Punk Rock is a self indulgent and mentality stunted white elephant. It's become an inbred abomination of itself.
I'm mostly talking within the context of current and local 'punk' bands. They're defined by their minimalist power chord approach and vocal style than anything else they've done or do. The sound or technical skills of bands used to be secondary to the message and passion. Today, it's all these bands have to tie themselves to the genre at all, and even then it's only a reflection of a compromised talent / sound.
Today bands 'sound' punk rock. Fans dress punk rock. Both sides 'drink' punk rock, and everyone gets pissed and pretends they're a part of something special and bigger than it really is. Someone needs to assume some responsibility and inject something real back into this washed out scene. Surburban white kids getting drunk as a form of rebellion doesn't cut it.
Ps: Also, on the topic of local punk bands: Anyone want to discuss how much coke (and other other narcotics, aside from the typical weed) gets consumed by our local punk bands? Especially the 'bigger' and 'older' ones that everybody loves to skank it up to? Cocaine. So punk rock!
0 0
You sir, have a point and I completely concede. I just thought you meant ALL. Punk rock has to have some sort of anti-establishment message.
If the bands say that's what they are, then I agree with you because as far as I can see that's not the message behind the music.

Extremely well said Anonymous. Hit the nail on the effing head. So true about the drug consumption too, all you need to do is listen to Jello Biafras' lyrics from all those years ago and he said it all then. Another thing is how homophobic the scene in SA is, how does that fit into any punk ideal? It's fits into the ideals of the consumer, which is what the kiddies in the scene are.
0 0
Punk has always been about posing, the Sex Pistols and Clash were as big posers as the rest of 'em. The whole British punk scene contaminated the movement, it was about looking weird, dressing for effect, and then conforming to some cult of dress, hairstyles and behaviour. What's real punk? Maybe it's when American kids from the blue collar side of the tracks pick up cheap guitars and try talk about the lives they lives using simple catchy tunes. They're otherwise normal, jeans and t-shirts, no full body tats, nothing special, just the music – Alkaline Trio were once like this, Screeching Weasel too, the Methadones held the flame for a while, the Copyrights still rock. I'm not sure South Africans can do punk, just that act of imitation cheapens the whole show. It's the guys out there just making simple guitar music for the fuck of it and not bothering with labelling themselves who probably come closest to deserving to be included in this movement.

Punk is deader than dead.

I agree with the review, and one of my biggest gripes with the film is the title…
I was expecting to see how punk has manifested throughout different African countries, not just in SA. Felt like the SADC stuff was thrown in just to fit in with the title.
Also the piece on the Genuines, who are arguably the most interesting band in the whole piece, putting indigenous and ghoema rhythms into punk, were given a very small section in relation to the whole piece.

True story!

jeezuz, that short piece i saw looked pretty darn cool. if the rest of the movie's like that then it's a very valid film. peeps can nitpick all they want and always will but i don't see anthing wrong with the story.

i liked the movie alot. i thought it said alot about south african youth culture and modern politics. i also think the dude who wrote this article is someone who rates themself alot and has probably never listened to punk music in his life. poes

CINCINNATI - In a game featuring a lot of unfamiliar reserves playing for both teams, a customary sight helped the Bengals end the regular season with a 23-17 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
CINCINNATI � In a game featuring a lot of unfamiliar reserves playing for both teams, a customary sight helped the Bengals end the regular season with a 23-17 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bengals� defensive line, the team�s heart all season, produced four more sacks, and that total meant Cincinnati (10-6) set a team season sack record of 50 heading into this week�s AFC playoff game at Houston.
Defensive end Michael Johnson had two sacks, fellow starting end Carlos Dunlap had one and reserve end Wallace Gilberry added one to break the team record of 48 set in 2001.
�It�s a good accomplishment. We�re all getting after it,� Pro Bowl defensive tackle Geno Atkins said.
Despite being shut out yesterday, Atkins finished the season with 12.5 sacks, the most for a Bengals interior lineman and the third-most in team history, behind end Coy Bacon�s 22 in 1976 and end Eddie Edwards� 13 in 1983.
Johnson finished the regular season with 11.5 sacks, making him and Atkins the second Bengals double-digit sack tandem and first since Edwards and linebacker Reggie Williams in 1981.
�It�s a group effort,� Johnson said. �It�s a collective effort of us being in our pass rush lanes and being in the right place, and it just comes to you like that, and it comes in bunches. Let�s see if we can set some sort of playoff record for sacks. We�ll work on that next.�Healthy roster
The Bengals appear to be at full strength as they prepare for Houston. They didn�t play halfback BenJarvus Green-Ellis yesterday after he reported a tight hamstring during warm-ups, but coach Marvin Lewis didn�t sound alarmed after the victory.
�I don�t know how severe he is,� Lewis said. �He just didn�t feel right in warm-ups today, (so) we held him out.�
Without Green-Ellis, the Bengals rushed for 47 yards on 21 carries. They had 14 yards on 16 carries � the second-fewest rushing yards in team history � the previous week during a 13-10 victory at Pittsburgh.
Before the final two games, the Bengals had averaged 142.5 yards rushing in a six-game span after averaging just 93.7 yards during the first nine games. Green-Ellis finished the regular season with a career-high 1,094 rushing yards.Familiar faces
Bengals backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski played the entire second half after starter Andy Dalton was lifted to rest for the playoffs, and that meant two brothers squared off on the same field.
Gino Gradkowski, the younger brother in the family from Pittsburgh, played center for the Ravens.
�I was proud of him,� said Bruce, who completed 5 of 11 passes for 65 yards. �He got to play a lot today, especially against our horses up front, our defensive line. I told him to just keep working and that he was doing a great job.�Notable
Lewis became the first Bengals coach to have three seasons of at least 10 victories. He is 79-80-1 in his 10th year with the team, including 10-10 against Baltimore and 31-29 in AFC North games. ...
Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict had a game-high 18 tackles to finish the regular season with a team-high 127. He�s the fifth rookie and first since Odell Thurman in 2005 to lead the team in tackles . . . Cincinnati completed the first four-victory December in its history. . . The Bengals finished the regular season 4-4 at home and tied a franchise record with six road victories (against two losses) . . . Yesterday marked the first time since 2009 that Cincinnati defeated the Ravens and Steelers in the same season.
The victory also marked the third time that the Bengals ended the regular season with victories in seven of their last eight regular-season games. The 1970 team won seven straight to win the AFC Central. The 1981 team went 7-1 to finish 12-4 and make its first Super Bowl appearance . . . A.J. Green�s two catches for 26 yards gave him 97 receptions for 1,350 yards. . . Kevin Huber set Bengals season records for gross (46.5 yards) and net (42.0) punting averages . . . Bengals kicker Josh Brown�s 11 points gave him 1,003 in his career.

It has a rod knocking and he has access to a 2011 Corvette 6.2L. He has concerns about DOD,VVT and any other issues with this swap. Both appear to be controlled by E38 ecm, so I'm thinking it should not be difficult. Anyone with experience / knowledge care to share some input on differences and obstacles for the swap would be appreciated.

Hyland's Calms Forte Sleep AidReviewing: Hyland's Calms | Rating:
Hyland's Calms Forte is a homeopathic remedy that helps with sleeping problems. It works best with occasional sleeplessness (vs. insomnia), which is what I have sometimes. Like most people. I am wary of two things when it comes to sleep aids: feeling drowsy / drugged afterwards and forming a habit. Calms Forte is safe in both regards. It is all-natural, not habit-forming, and it causes no side effects. Whether I cannot fall asleep in the evening or wake up in the middle of the night, I take 2 caplets of this product - and soon my peaceful sleep is restored. In the morning, I am well-rested and ready to go, I have no difficulty getting up and do not feel any discomfort.
Hyland's Calms Forte can be also taken as a relaxant, in a lesser dose. One pack contains 100 tablets and costs around $4-7.

How to Plan A Sabbatical
You've put years of dedication into your job and the time has come for a well earned career break. With the retirement age and life expectancy going up, and recession cutbacks still looming in many industries, a sabbatical has become an attractive prospect for reflection, renewal and the recently redundant. But how do you plan a successful sabbatical? In this month's How To, we look at the Dos and Don'ts of taking your dream break from the work place.
Plan ahead of schedule
Getting your ducks in a row before you take a sabbatical is not an option: it is a MUST. To be away from your day job or business, you need to make sure everything can run efficiently without you around. This means serious planning. Whether its training a new manager to hold down the fort while you are away, sorting out your finances, making travel plans or any number of extra tasks. It takes time to get organized properly, so make sure you give yourself enough of it to do so.
Choose what kind of sabbatical you want
People take sabbaticals for all kinds of reasons. Its a good idea to establish why you want to take yours: to pursue other interests, or just to spend some time with family, away from the corporate rat race. Just having an understanding of why you want to take a sabbatical will go a long way in establishing your own expectations.
Set realistic goals
Do not allow yourself to get lost in a sea of fantastical goals. No one can write a book, learn to speak Portuguese, learn to play an instrument, volunteer in Africa, save the whales and backpack through South America in six months. Make a list of achievable goals and stick to them - but don't close yourself off from being spontaneous. Think hard about how much time you have and then plan your goals around that.
Set a time frame
Set a reasonable and realistic time frame for your sabbatical. It's pointless rushing, when you know you will need at least a year to complete your goal. Heading back to work too early will only render the process pointless. On the other hand, if you know you will get bored after six months, why take more? This all goes back to the first point: PLAN AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
Be selfish
The opportunity to take extended time off work comes but once or twice a lifetime before retirement kicks in. Grab it with both hands and make the most of the opportunity. Read the classics, the supermarket pulp fiction or the celeb magazines you've been longing to page through. Build model airplanes or vintage cars if that's what is on your list of things to do. Paint your furniture, fly a kite, redecorate your home. The point is, it's your sabbatical. Own it.
Be in contact
Stay in contact with your employers or employees - at a safe distance. This is in case of emergencies. One phone call from the office too many, and you will find yourself wasting precious sabbatical time with problems that are no longer your responsibility.
On the other hand, cutting yourself off completely would be unwise. Staying on friendly terms with your former employer during your sabbatical may keep valuable opportunities open for your on your return to the workplace.
Plan your finances
Unless you've hit the jackpot and earned a paid sabbatical, financing your break from the working world is going to be costly. Make sure you put enough research into planning the financial logistics of your extended leave. Set up and budget and work with that. This also related to your time frame, mentioned in point number 3. Make sure your budget can see you through the sabbatical.
Get out of town
Whether you go to Indonesia for a month, or to Cardiff for the weekend, take some time to get out of town - at least once. You don't need to go far to get out of your comfort (or discomfort) zone and refresh your mind.
Make sure you have a job to come back to
Make sure your employers understand that you are taking a sabbatical for their benefit as much as yours. The ultimate goal is for you to come back to work with renewed energy resources and fresh ideas. But there's no point in gaining those things if you have no job to come back to.
Leave anything till the last minute
99% of the time, things are cheaper when you book far in advance. If you are planning to spend 6 months of your sabbatical abroad, try to book your tickets and accommodation early.

If you love shoes that are full of attitude and individuality, yet are also timeless and elegant, chances are you will love Marc by Marc Jacobs footwear. With their trademark round toes and thick heels, shoes by this iconic designer come in vibrant, living colors that we want to show off as often as possible. But what does one wear with these distinct styles? Whether you are fond of haute hippie couture, adore the latest bold patterns of this spring's exotic safari style, or love to move around in wearable classics, here are a few ideas.
What to Wear with Your Marc Jacob Shoes?
Sentimental Look
Do you prefer a flowing, romantic look? Nothing makes a boho glam girl happier than spring. It is the perfect time to take your favorite peasant dress out of the closet, and give it a new lift with a pair of Marc by Marc Jacobs Nude Patent Slingbacks. The signature block heels will add both height and weight to your delicate outfit and the nude colored soft patent leather straps will allow the colors and patterns of your dress speak for themselves. The cute grosgrain bow detailing also adds a soft touch to an already feminine appearance.
You can bring everything together with fashionable gold bangles and a sturdy messenger handbag; in the Marc by Marc Jacobs handbags collection you will find some amazing messenger styles. If you don't own a peasant dress yet, consider the lovely summer and spring styles from brands such as Grass Clothing – they create a perfect balance with the Marc Jacobs look.
Safari trend look
If you have been swept up in the newly unleashed safari trend there are many looks that are perfect with your new Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes. The signature boldness of the brand goes perfectly with this trend's sensuous, sculptural shapes and tribal pattern mixes.
Whether you choose a short, snug DKNY leopard dress or a vibrant H&M zebra jumpsuit to match your Marc Jacobs favorites, you will be right on trend; choose softer brown and earth-colored tribal patterns that go well with your bold Marc by Marc Jacobs bronze slides, and hunt down crocodile and zebra prints for your shiny, Marc by Marc Jacobs black patent leather cork wedges or block heels. A splash of strong orange, red, blue or green will complete your outfit; choose the right shade of bright colored handbag, jewelry or sunglasses and you will look like you just stepped off the catwalk.
Don't forget the jacket
One of this spring's major fashion stars is the jacket, especially if your style is geared towards the more timeless classics. For example, for your favorite Marc by Marc Jacobs ballet flats in white patent leather, choose a light leather jacket in cream or white – Ralph Lauren has fabulous styles that are perfect for this spring and that make a perfect match with a pair of their white, light pants.
Match your classic cut jacket with a casual tank top or tee in organic materials, as this will add a relaxed touch that works any sunny day and will play off well against your distinctive footwear. Alternatively, add in a pair of worn denims from sustainable, green brands such as Alternative Earth; with a pair of fun yet classic Marc by Marc Jacobs multi patent leather flats you will definitely turn heads.
It doesn't matter what your own individual style is, you will always be able to create a new signature look around your darling Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes. From quirky to classic to bohemian, simply keep your eye on the latest trends and feel inspired to mix up your wardrobe staples with bold colored touches like jewelry, handbags and sunglasses. Whatever you do, work your way from your fashionable Marc by Marc Jacobs favorites, and your style will surely reach new heights.

In a good
conditioning program there always should be change. New information is
constantly available. And one must filter through it and find the useable
information. Most medical and physical studies do not adhere in the dog
world in the ways they do in the human world. When you learn about how a
dog lives and works you can learn to apply a lot of your common sense to
the conditioning approach you choose.
I have been working on a theory of mine about heat resistance produced by unneeded ingredients in a dogs diet, one of the last factors in beating the heat wall. I believe this happens when a dog is fed a diet rich in nutrients and vitamins and minerals in an all of a sudden fashion. Going from dog food to this type of diet overnight is not good. The dogs internal system must be conditioned and peaked along with the dogs body.
How is this done? Answer is progressive diet. This is a breakthrough for me, I find that the more control you have over the quality of the feed you give your dog the better. Sample feeding and working schedule. During the entire keep until 12 hours before show keep fresh clean water available to your dog.

Eli Roth to Direct 'Death Wish' Remake
Eli Roth has a Death Wish.
The helmer behind Hostel and Green Inferno has closed a deal to direct MGM and Paramount's long-in-the-works remake of the 1974 vigilante movie that starred Charles Bronson.
Bruce Willis is attached to star in the reboot, which is being produced by Roger Birnbaum.
Roth is coming on board after the position was vacated with the departure of Israeli filmmakers Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado. The project, in its modern incarnation, initially had Joe Carnahan as director, but he left in 2012. Scott Alexander and Larry Karazewski wrote the current script.
The original film was an adaptation of a 1972 novel by Brian Garfield and told of a man who goes on a revenge spree after his wife is killed and his daughter is sexually assaulted. The movie struck a nerve with audiences who were facing the decade's high crime rate and reinvented the career of Bronson, then 53. It also set off a long list of sequels.
Roth has been slowly transitioning away from horror and into big-budgeted and elevated fare. He last directed Knock Knock, a sexual thriller that starred Keanu Reeves. He was attached to helm the monster movie Meg for Warner Bros. but creative differences and budgetary concerns got in the way. Roth also is returning to host Shark After Dark, Discovery's Shark Week late-night talk show starting June 26.
He is repped by WME.

Nothing screams holiday spirit more than professional wrestling. Okay, maybe not much holiday, but certainly a lot of spirit. For today's musical holiday treat, I am going new-old school with The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson).
Back in the modern heyday of pro wrestling, there was nobody bigger than The Rock. A mere raise of an eyebrow brought the "millions and millions" of the Rock's fans to their feet.
I hope you enjoy this holiday spin courtesy of the Rock. If you don't like it, "it doesn't matter what you think!" Sorry, I think I just channeled the Rock.

Canada Welcomes Adoption of UN Human Rights Resolution on Iranpublished on Saturday, November 22, 2008
The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, welcomed the adoption of a resolution on the human rights situation in Iran, following a vote at the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly earlier today.
"The adoption of this resolution is a clear signal of the international community's concern for the human rights of people in Iran. It sends a message of hope to the victims of state-sponsored brutality and to the human rights defenders who seek to effect positive change in Iran," said Minister Cannon. "At the same time, the Iranian regime is called upon to respect fully its human rights obligations, in law and in practice."
With the passing of this resolution, Canada continues its leadership in the world by serving as the lead coordinator for this resolution, which expresses serious concern about the systemic human rights violations committed by the Government of Iran. The resolution was co-sponsored by 42 other UN member states and was supported by 70 in the vote earlier today. As in previous years, the Iranian delegation attempted to use procedural manoeuvres to block the Committee from considering the resolution on its merits. Yet again, the Iranian efforts to hide their abuses failed.
Pursuant to the resolution adopted last year, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon issued a report highlighting serious violations of human rights in Iran, such as the execution of juveniles, stoning and amputation, widespread discrimination against cultural, religious and linguistic minorities, censorship, and harassment of human rights defenders and women's rights activists.
"With this resolution, and those presented in previous years, international attention has been drawn to the flagrant human rights abuses in Iran," said Minister Cannon. "We continue to call on the Iranian government to take concrete steps to respect the human rights of all people in Iran.
"We will continue to promote Canadian values, such as freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, on the world stage. All Canadians can be proud of Canada's principled foreign policy."
