STV reports that Rayo Vallecano are stepping up their interest in Rangers striker Sone Aluko.
The London-born Nigerian international moved to Ibrox this season after three years with Aberdeen, having previously had an inauspicious beginning to his career in England with Birmingham City where he failed to make a single first team appearance. However, 23-year-old Aluko has impressed in his 17 starts for Rangers, scoring six goals including the opener in the recent derby with Celtic, and his form has prompted Rayo to offer him an exit route from the Scottish Premier League to La Liga.
Rangers hold the option to extend his contract, which runs until the end of this season, for a further two years, but with the Glasgow club currently in administration doubt remains over his long-term future and the Scottish media believe it will not be an option to renew his current agreement.
Talks are already understood to have taken place between the player's representatives and the Madrid outfit, and although Rayo themselves are in administration they are confident of securing him with Rangers' finances in such a delicate situation.
Although he played for England at youth level, Aluko chose to accept an offer to represent Nigeria and made his debut for the national team in a friendly with the Republic of Ireland in May, 2009. In April the following year he was named in the provisional Nigeria squad for the 2010 World Cup but failed to make the final cut.

How to build an Ajax Web application in Alpha Five: "The Tutorial, Volume 1" now available
When InfoWorld journalist, Ph.D., and international man of mystery, Martin Heller, joined Alpha Software, we didn't waste any time putting him to work. After many sleepless nights and thankless weekends, Martin has produced the first volume of what we think will be the be-all, end-all tutorial on how to build, test, deploy, and maintain Ajax Web database applications with Alpha Five Version 10.
|THE TUTORIAL: Ready to be read
Volume 1
- Teaches you how to create Ajax Web grids against SQL databases, without programming.
- Will teach you everything else needed to create Web applications with Version 10 without programming.
- Unleashes the full power of Version 10 by teaching how to program with the product and utilize its rich client- and server- event models for Web applications.
I'm proud to say that Volume 1 is ready to ship. I'm doubly excited by this. At one level, it's great to announce that this is available. But at another level, this plugs a hole that we have had in our supporting material for Alpha Five.
Customers, colleagues, and partners have been pointing this out to us for too long. The problem was one of resources and bandwidth, and I'm happy to say that we've invested in that in the form of Martin Heller. Here you have the first fruits of that investment.
If you want to read the first chapter, go ahead. It's on me. The level of detail Martin provides is, in my opinion, remarkable. If you like what you read, you can buy the PDF download for only $24. Or, if you still like "dead trees" editions, you can get that for $34, and you'll still get the PDF. Once you read Volume 1, you'll see how valuable all three volumes are sure to be.

Jenelle Rogers
So, when Jenelle Evans tweeted "hello there" Friday night, it took me a few minutes to remember that the Teen Mom 2 star was supposed to be in rehab.
Teen Mom 2′s Jenelle Evans Regrets Marrying Courtland Rogers; Accuses Him Of Pawning Her Possessions
On today's episode of These Are The Days Of Jenelle Evans Life:
According to the melodramatic Teen Mom 2 star, Courtland Rogers caused her to have the "most horrible day ever" and now she regrets ever marrying him. Can you feel the passion behind those words? Most. Horrible. Day. Ever.
Considering the mess that is Jenelle's life, I braced myself for what could have possibly led to the "most horrible day ever" and continued reading.
Oh… the anticipation.
Jenelle tweeted, "Found out all of my clothes got pawned at Platos Closet today by @coutryb11, so upset."
Oh… it gets worse.
Teen Mom 2′s Jenelle Evans Moves In With Gary Head; Courtland Says They Tried To Run Him Off The Road!
This Teen Mom 2 trainwreck just keeps chugging along – with Jenelle Evans in the conductor's seat and we're just her passengers, along for the wild ride.
To recap the past few weeks: Jenelle got married, Jenelle got pregnant, Jenelle dumped new hubby, Jenelle filed assault charges against said hubby, and then Jenelle miscarried her baby.
This week, Jenelle moved in with old flame (and formerly accused abuser, necklace stealer, and door-kicker-inner) Gary Head, accused Courtland Rogers of trying to run her off the road and Courtland tried to cozy up to Gary's lovely lady. Just another 48 hours in the life of Jenelle.
Jenelle Evans Files Assault Charges Against Courtland Rogers; Plus, Is She Moving On With Ex-fiance Gary Head?
The drama that surrounds Jenelle Evans seriously never ends. Today's news: assault charges, moving on with a "good" friend, continued drug abuse claims, and new baby mama drama.
Following a nasty fight on Monday and a pregnancy scare on Tuesday, Jenelle Evans has announced that she plans to divorce Courtland Rogers as soon as possible.
Early this morning, the Teen Mom 2 star tweeted, "I am getting a divorce, ASAP. YOU F**KING LEAVE OUT OF TOWN AND I MIGHT BE HAVING A MISCARRIAGE?! F**K U, U F**KING PIECE OF S**T."
Jenelle and Courtland have been married for 51 days and are expecting their first baby together this September. On Monday, Jenelle was "heartbroken in half completely" after she learned Courtland was out partying while she was sleeping.
The newlyweds went their separate ways – Jenelle to Facebook and Courtland to Twitter – ;)
I'm sure you've heard by now that Jenelle Evans and Courtland Rogers are expecting their first baby together. The Teen Mom 2 star is seven weeks along and due September 4.
Talking to MTV, Jenelle said she was surprised to find out she was pregnant after missing just "a few" birth control pills, adding, "I know a lot of people will say we're not ready, or judge me from my past. I want to prove to everyone that I can do this. This wasn't planned, but it happened so we're taking it as we go."
"Courtland and I are happy and excited now," Jenelle continued. "We have our own place, we're married, and we're both working. We know having a child can be difficult, but we're going to do our best." After the news broke, Courtland tweeted, "Feels great to be sober and actually get to experience all of this!!! Especially with my WIFE!! @PBandJenelley_1 I love u so much!"

Whatever. I have invited both Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel for a nice frolic. Lord Celeborn seems to think that Lady Galadriel disapproves of frolicks, but I think she is just feeling left out. Maybe an outing together, with me to temper their vitriol, will do them both good!
I think that the party rescuing Estel should be home soon. I do hope so anyway, as Lord Elrond is in such a state. I hope Estel is... whole in both body AND mind when he arrives, but I fear that he will not be. What effect this will have on my lord, I cannot say, but I think it will be dire. Hopefully, he'll be distracted by Arwen's upcoming nuptials. As for the Evenstar herself, really, she chose the most ATROCIOUS china pattern. *shudder* And primrose yellow... Yeesh.

Bibbitec Bib's on Shark Tank
Ultimate Bib - Season 4 - Episode 413It appears that the baby business is booming in the Shark Tank as we have two new invention's made by a Mom, for Mom's. Susie Taylor is a mother of two boy's that has invented the ultimate bib that will last for year's as your child grows and their needs change. The Bibbitec bib is a multi purpose, non toxic, Made In America product for all kid's 0 to 7 years old.
The Bibbitec Bib can be used for a bib, breast feeding privacy, a burp cloth, changing pad, stroller blanket, an art smock and even a full body apron. The patented bib is made out of recycled poly nylon with two unique sides. One is the thin fleece and the other is a thin shell that repels just about anything your kids can come up with. It's not a bib specifically made just for your toddler but one with you in mind as well.
There is so many uses for the Bibbitec that I found one article listing 33 new way's to use the Bibbitec throughout the day. They may of started stretching it a bit, but never the less, there is some very good examples of what else you can use this multi-purpose invention for.
Susie Taylor and the Bibitec Invention was just featured on "Made In America" with Diane Sawyer in September of 2012. Interesting that Susie and her husband Steve are shown in a preview of the Shark Tank before they probably knew for sure that they would actually be on the show. But having Diane Sawyer talking up your product on national t.v. can only be a good thing, with many more good things to follow. Susie said the orders started pouring in after the brief segment on the World News.
This is also very smart of ABC to test a new product's response before committing it to airing on the Shark Tank. Remember that the producers of the Show get a stake in the company whether they make a deal with the Sharks or not, so it's in their best interest to show inventions with the most potential. It looks like the Ultimate Bibbitec Bib has met those requirements to potentially become a huge success.
What's my opinion of the Bibbitec Bibs?
From almost everything that I could find, it looks like the key market they are focusing on is with the baby market. After watching her son's making brownie's in the kitchen all wearing a bibbitec bib, my opinion would be to make these mandatory in all kindergarten classrooms. Maybe even a more specialized bib/apron for painter's. I have to be the messiest painter there ever was and something made of this material just might be the answer. I am just not sure I would want to wear something referred to as a bib, even though that's exactly what I need.
It's a good idea with a Great Patent behind the material and design and several ways of expanding the product line. Yes, I do believe the Sharks will not let this one get away!
Bibbitec Bibs Website
Susie and Steve on FaceBook
Bibbitec on Twitter
+bibbitec bibbitec on Google+
Bibbitec after the Shark Tank
Susie and Steve Taylor entered the Shark Tank looking for $40k for a 14% stake in the Bib Biz. The bibs currently sell for $24.99 and cost $15 to produce. This sends Kevin O'Leary in a hitty fitty over the costs and says it would be much cheaper to buy a bunch of cheap bibs. Susie tries to defend the price by saying the average Mom spends $400 on bib's annually. Annually? That's a hard pill for the Sharks to swallow trying to grasp how many you can buy for that much.
The Taylor's have sold about 2000 Bibbitec Bib's over the last 4 years, that again draws a reaction from O'Leary. They have (had) approx. $17,000.00 in total sales the last 12 months that now draws a not so good "That's it" from Robert Herjevic. Daymond John says they need to get the production costs down to $5 and retail down to $19.99 to make this a competitive product. Steve, I think, made a huge mistake in saying they only could if they change the material. Isn't that what makes the Bibbitec so unique in the first place?
Mark Cuban steps up and offers the Taylor's some very good advise. Hire an Internet Marketing Expert and stick to selling directly to the consumer on this product. This was about the best advise they could of got and no doubt, the Taylor's are selling thousands of Bibbitec's on their site after the Shark Tank Show. I hope they were ready for all the thousands of new fans that found their website and hopefully ordered atleast one bib.

SAN DIEGO, November 4, 2012 – Pop singer Katy Perry gets the award for rocking the Hottest Celebrity Presidential Endorsement Appearance of the 2012 campaign season.
Look at that dress. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on, that dress is smoking on Perry.
Do celebrity endorsements make any difference? One researcher estimated that Oprah Winfrey's endorsement of Barack Obama secured one million votes, helping him win the 2008 Presidential election.
More recent research from North Carolina State University proved just the opposite, that celebrity endorsements don't help and can often hurt candidates. These results didn't even include Honey Boo Boo (who endorsed President Obama) or The Naked Cowboy (who endorsed Governor Romeny).
America loves its celebrities. Think People magazine and "Access Hollywood." Readers know what they eat, where they shop and who they date. They buy products celebrities endorse. People paid $11 million for the photos of twins born to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It's an obsession with Tinseltown's elite that is easily derided.
The campaigns know megawatt stars can deliver crowds. More important, many of them can deliver money in the form of appearances at fundraisers and hitting up their rich friends. There is a serious benefit of proximity to stardom that can reap big benefits for a politician where it counts: the campaign coffers.
On this count, President Obama wins. Robert De Niro, Will Smith, Magic Johnson and Antonio Banderas help attract the big-dollar givers. Fundraisers by Clooney and singers Jay-Z and Beyonce each raised more than $20 million for Obama.
Governor Romney's biggest celebrity fundraiser may be actor Robert Duvall, who held a dinner with Ann Romney in September at his Virginia farm that raised $800,000.
President Obama has cornered the market on A-list Hollywood film actors, pop singers and rap/hip stars. He's also cornered the Star Trek vote with endorsements from Mr. Spock and Mr. Sulu.
Governor Romney is endorsed by country music stars, a slew of comedians (perhaps they think Romney will provide them more material the next four years), Olympic athletes (especially from the 2004 Salt Lake City games, no surprise), and quite a few classic rock greats. He also has his own share of film and TV stars, many of whom have supported military and veterans' causes for years such as Gary Sinese and Duvall.
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson's endorsement list is thin, but it does boast Penn and Teller, Goldie Hawn, and Willie Nelson.
The prize for the most entertaining endorsement goes to Snoop Dogg, or the Artist Now Calling Himself Snoop Lion. He said President Obama needs four more years to clean up the eight years of mess left by George W. Bush.
"I mean, Bush (deleted) up for eight years, so you gotta at least give [Obama] eight years," said the former Dogg. "He cleaned half the (deleted) up in four years, realistically. It ain't like y'all gave him a clean house. Y'all gave him a house where the TV didn't' work, the toilet was stuffed up — everything was wrong with the house."
Agree or disagree, at least the man offered a reasonable rationale, not just a tight dress.
On the off chance it does deliver a vote or two, as a public service Communities offers this list featuring some of the confirmed celebrity endorsements for the 2012 Presidential candidates.

Might I suggest adding Prince of Lanling also? I felt it was one of the best ancient c-dramas I've seen in a long time. Romance, comedy and action (war) and hey it's got Ariel Lin (she's so cute~)Reply
hey sapphiresky can u recommend me a wuxia drama that is like Chinese Paladin 3 one with funny romance, action, yeah and just the things that Chinese paladin 3 has-but the drama should make me cry at some points and a mischevious and funny main character like jing tian. oh and please…try not to tell me dramas with endings that r as sad as Chinese paladin 3, but if that's all u can think of.. then go for it. Thanxs.Reply
Hello Sapphiresky,
Thank you so much for all the lovely action series, they are all good.
Can u tell me where I can find the New Chor Lau Heung series? 2013
It looks good on you tube but not the full series.
Thanks again.
sorry off topic…can the owner of this website make sub for chess of death..from ep 21 till end..i want to watch it badly
I just want to say that your site was the main reason I entered this universe, thanks for the gorgeous site, I hope you make it into something even bigger.
From BrasilReply
OMG thank you SO MUCH for that, i am so thankful you enjoy it!! YAY!!
What about Sword Stained With Royal Blood? WReply
Hi again! Thank you, Helen K, for your reply! I will search for those titles and I hope I will like them!
It is a pity that there are not much female-lead series then, but let's see if they make some series like that.
Best regards.
(By the way, I thought my comment wasn't here, when I was trying to post it, but now I see it is here, thank you).Reply
Hi, there. Recently I found this page and I think it is very interesting, thank you for making it!
I don't know much about these series, but I'm interested in knowing, that is why I am here.
I'm looking for wuxia tv series with these characteristics mainly:
First, comedy:
* Very funny / comical. Lots of comedy !!
(Or at least not tragical. I do not want to watch "tragedies").
* No tragic endings… some series are comical and the last episode is tragic. I do not want to watch series like that.
* NO "romance", or very little "romance". The least "romance" as possible.
* CLEAN: no vulgarity. No "adult" content whatsoever.
No "adult" or inappropiate situations and scenes, please.
series where women are the main characters and are stronger than men, more skilled than men.
Something like "Feng Yun" maybe, but women instead of male in the main roles.
Also, please without adult content, vulgarity, and "romance".
Are there some wuxia series that are somehow related or based or something on the table game "chinese checkers"?
I think that also would be interesting.
Recommendations in general with those characteristics: lots of comedy, no "romance", clean, etc. are welcome.
Do you know some wuxia/Martial Arts series like that?
In "Youtube" or somewhere else, with engish subtitles?
And preferably with CHINESE actors… chinese or from other parts from Asia, but not korean actors, please…
Thank you!
And sorry for the english, I am not an english speaker.
P.S. Also, thank you for uploading in "Youtube" the series "The Mischievious Princess". I recently started to watch it and I think I like it, so far, although I'm dissapointed on the fact that the main character, the princess is played by a korean actress, I'm sorry!
But I think, until now, that series is entertaining and funny.
wow that's a lot of requirements!!!
Out of the series recommended in this post, I think either Legend of Qin, Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei, or Legend of the Condor Heroes 2008 would be most suitable for you. All three have quite a few comical moments and limited "adult" content. And all three have at least one amazing female character. (no female leads, sorry. I can only think of like two wuxia series/novels where the main character is female. And they're both very focused on romance)
Sorry if i get anything wrong here. I haven't actually finished watching Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei, but what I've seen so far is absolutely amazing and seems to suit you're requirements really well. Plus I am more than a little biased when it comes to Legend of the Condor Heroes!
I hope this helps!
I think you'll like Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, 2001 version with Li Ya Peng as Linghu Chong and Xu Qing as Ren Ying Ying! Ren Ying Ying is badass.
I can not believe it. You're the same as me. I love strong female lead in the main roles, and where girls are stronger then men. I also romance, if it's not a lesbian romance. ^^
Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei is the only good wuxia for us. Unfortunately the girl is not in the lead role, but she is from the fourth major. And almost no romance. Cool story and cool fights, especially when fighting a girl. And a lot of humor.
hi sapphiresky, i really love ancient drama n wu xia (especially bubu jing xin, I watched it 3 times and still love it). do you know coming soon (2014) series? please share the reviewReply
I have been waiting for Legend Of Qin to be put back up. Every other series seems to be back on youtube except for Legend of Qin, and I was halfway season 4. Can you please put it back upReply
Hi, I stumbled onto your site when I was looking for some period dramas and what can I say…………the first thing I did was to see your top recommendations and immediately settled for Strange Hero, YZM. And like so many others I hope that the story will not end…….I think that there might be a Part 2. The best part of your site is that the dramas are english subbed and Im surely going to watch some of the dramas recommended and do some forum post.
Keep up the good work!Reply
Does anyone know what saphiresky's avatar/profile picture is/from? I keep thinking its cecilia Liu but i'm not sure and I can't find the drama with it.Reply
sapphiresky's profile pic is Liu Shi Shi ( Ceciliu Liu ) and I'm sure it's from Xuan Yuan Sword: Rift of the Sky
Hi, actually I haven't watched any chinese historical dramas yet. I'm so used to watching Korean historical dramas so I'm not familiar at all w/ chinese version.
So I was just wondering if U can give me any recommendations on top-10 great dramas? Some people said about Mu-Lan, Scarlett Heart, Three Kingdoms??Reply
Sorry but I'm the worst person to recommend historical cos I myself don't watch anything historical, not that I don't like it, but I have major hard times understanding it, because of all the war/politics and stuff, it always befuddles my brain and I end up just not getting any of it, the only ones I can recommend are fantasy, romance, martial arts and they're on this page.
Why not try Mischievous Princess, there may be some boring parts (Minister and Officials talking to each other as usual) but I find Mischievous Princess really cute.
Yes that's def one of them but I think I probably ran out of room or forgot to include it on this page.
Hi there,
Thanks for the great website.Reply
ahhhhhhh i just typoed my favourite books title -_______-
LEGEND OF THE CONDOR HEORES!!!!!! my all time favourite series. have you read the book?Reply
AWW YESSS that is an AMAZINGG series and i wish i did haha, sadly I can't really read chinese very well>< If i could, I would so read it
btw may i ask? can you sub the " unruly qiao (royal johnson medical/physcian) 2011″ cuz i found this on the youtube but there's no sub? can you plz sub it in english too?.i love the main character Jang Na Ra is the one that portray situ jing in mischevious princess….plz.. tnx you so much.love lots<3Reply

I am really really excited you love the series and blog, YAY that totally made my day It's always so great seeing someone like you post here.
Ohhh the unruly qiao is available on viki but it's in parts, can you check if that works? http://www.viki.com/videos/105800v-unruly-qiao-royal-johnson-medical-physician-unruly-qiao-episode-1
Haha, I shall watch Treasure Venture over the weekends then! Anyway, love your website + youtube! Hope you upload more and more dramas over time!!Reply
AWESOME GOOD LUCK with it and yes i will definitely upload more over time! Though I do have to be careful with youtube cos of all the copyright stuff out there ><
Also, I was wondering if you know more dramas where the protagonist cross dresses (swap genders) like in Mischievous Princess or have an upbeat more comedic genre?!Reply
After getting into my studying pattern I totally blame this site for getting me back into watching period dramas! I'm totally obsessed with these dramas now. AHAHA as a kid I LOVED these types of dramas and now again I'm back into it. Everything makes me swoon
PS. I love all the dramas you have recommended! I also remember watching Princess Pearl as a kid ahahah you're amazing and I'm like on your youtube page watching dramas all the time!Reply
OMG I am so excited that you are watching heaps of the series. OMG it's always just so good to hear that HAHHAHA YESSS i know what you mean ROFL watching these shows is seriously so much more fun than studying
Oh and swap gender comedy types are AWESOME !!! Let's see, sadly there aren't a lot of them but Treasure Venture is definitely like that too but I'm not too sure what you've seen and haven't
There's a series that I watched as a kid and I'd like to watch it again, but can't remember the name of it. Maybe someone here can help me out. The main character is slow-witted (sound familiar yet) and uses a grass/rice cutting machete as his weapon (at the beginning anyway). Another character is a man who uses a wider sword. One of his special moves is that he jumps up in the air and spins with his sword out, killing multiple people at once. After this, he has a special way of putting the sword back into its holder (putting the bottom of the sword at the top of the holder, then dragging it down). The series I watched was probably made in the 1980′s and likely filmed in Hong Kong. Thanks y'all.Reply
Hmmm I don't think I know the one you're talking about, maybe someone else will?
I think it is Blood Stained Intrigue
There are so many on the list, I'm not sure which one to watch T_T
The only wuxia drama I've ever seen was Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei, which I watched completely spur-of-the-moment. I loved it so much, that I while I really want to see another drama like it, I'm afraid of being disappointed… are there any in this list that are quite similar to it? Thanks for the list!
Hmmm all the ones I listed above are my all time favs, so I can't really choose :O I don't tend to stick to one particular type of show, but many diff ones so it's hard for me to pick out something that's similar. I just love every single one on this list, they all have something RAELLY special in it
Are there any series that are recent? Like after 2009?Reply
Sadly not a lot have been subbed lately… I will let you know if I find some!
Thanks for the wuxia recommendations! I haven't watched the genre for a while but now I'm obsessed with it once again. Finished Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei and I really loved the characters and the way the actors portrayed them (Ying Wuqiu's actor was a bit meh though). I've been watching Liu Shi Shi's dramas since and just finished the modern day wuxia police movie she's in called Badges of Fury. You should definitely check that out if you haven't already.Reply
OMG it's so great hearing that you're obsessed. nothing makes me happier than seeing more fans of this!
and WOOOOOOOW that's really cool they did a wuxia modern day movie :O I think i saw pics of her playing characters.
Did that have ancient parts? it sounds SO interesting!
I'm a big wuxia series fan. I love it. I watched xuan yuan sword 3, Chinese paladin 3, strange hero yi zhi mei, 8 avatar, big shot, journey to the west, legend of the condor heroes, return of the condor heroes, royal tramp, seven of the sky, spirit of the sword, and more. I love wuxia. Well what else is a must watch. Something you won't regret watching. Please tell me. Thank you. Love wuxia.Reply
YAY I AM SO HAPPY to hear that you are such a big an of the series and OMG wooow it's really cool you saw all of these HAHAHHAA oh if i had to choose a unregretable show that's a mustwatch, that's not on your list, it's Qin's Moon… even though almost everyone will say the s1 and 2 animation is not really good but seriously the story is… SO WORTH IT!
It is airing right now. I think you may like, but it's not for me. I dont like wartime drama.Reply
Yeah I think I'm more on fantasy and martial arts than waretime as well!
Have you seen the drama:Jing Zhong Yue Fei
I think Liu Shi Shi in it too.
OH I heard that's coming out now? Or is it already released? YES i heard she's in it :O I think she plays a blind lady? I'm really curious to see that.

Anyway Thank you and God blessReply
HIIIII SO HAPPY TO MEET YOU!! WELCOME and really excited you're a new mooncake haha, and sadly I don't k now about Qin wang li shi min, though I have heard it but I can't seem to find it. So do you need to read the eng subs or can you understand chinese?
Anyway nice to meet you and so happy you have commented.
Can someone tell me the episode in Xuan Yuan Sword: Scar of the Sky where Liu Shi Shi was dancing and flirting with the lazy king?Reply
It's in ep 30
There's so many Wuxia but I was looking for the "Palm of Ru Lai" 2004 in English sub but can't find it anywhere on google searchReply
Sadly everything that's subbed is on my site, so I don't think the one yo're looking for is subbed.
i love Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei. but i got sad when i finished watching all the episodes because i didnt want it to end. i feel like im part of the family. i would like to know if theres a complete series of the new swordsman english sub? thanx for this site!Reply
Awww I know how you feel! I also get sad when my fav shows finish!
Sadly Swordsman isn't completed in subbing yet. I will surely post about it if it does. I've been waiting about it too, a few subbing teams have picked it up but only eps up to 10 are subbed so far.
thanks wuxiaReply
That's soooo nice of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i started watching wuxia series early this year and i got addicted…yup as in..chinese paladin to condor heroes. i bu bu xing(shead my tears)…just love it…anyway thanks for the recommendation when i check it i got excited coz there are some series that i havent seen before…..thanksReply
WOW EXCELLENT TO HEAR that you were addicted, YAY!!! OMG it's always SOOOO AWESOME to hear that people enjoy the recommended series, and hope you enjoy these!!!
I will put more up when I watch more so I can write more about them too!!!!!!!!!!
Haha i've watched nearly everything on the list T^T really running out of wuxia series. – – i remember watching wuxia series when i was 6…Reply
OMG I know what you mean, it can be so easy to run out LOL! Thankfully I have a lot of Jin Yong Wuxia series to catch up, but you may also like to check this list: http://www.ancientchinese.net/index.php?topic=247 it may have additional series you haven't seen before!
Xuan Yuan sword 3 is my favorite out of the list hehe ^_^Reply
I'm really happy someone loves it as their favourite! YAY! All these are my favs that I can't choose HAHAHA, I need to add some more soon when they become subbed.
is there any shows that are either like the mischievous princess or a show that has a girl dress up as a boy
It doesn't have to be english subbedReply
Hmmm I think out of the ones listed here, Seven of the Sky and Legend of the Condor Heroes have moments where a girl dresses as a boy, they're all some of my all time favorites.
Eternal Happiness is all about a girl who dresses up as a guy. And it's my favorite!
AWESOME THANKS for helping out with the recommendations!!
this has been the best serial i've ever watched without exagerration!
it is clean, non violent, really funny, deep, and teaches values and sense and wisdom.Reply

Oh im also watching Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei which is great. One question umm there is a wuxia drama called The Legend of Chinese Zodiac(十二生肖传奇) and iwas wondering if anyone will english sub it because the drama looks great but i dont know mandarin.Reply

OMG about Strange Hero Yi Zhi Mei, YAYYY that you're seeing this too. OMFG this is so exciting
But about the Zodiac, I have heard of it but I don't think it's subbed, because I've n ever seen any english versions out there. I will always try my best to add any eng subbed shows here as soon as I find them DDDD
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO AND NICE TO MEET YOU! btw if you ever wanna chat about shows, just leave a comment anywhere on a post and we can have a big convo haha, those are so FUNNN!!

With my DD they started to give this to me but I was not allowed to leave. They hooked me up to an IV and began the admission process. Since it's something that they are inserting in you I would think they want you to sit still but in my case they ended up not doing it bc I started laboring on my own. hth
OB inserted the gel at 4:00pm and then i had to lie in the bed for one hour to be monitored. I got to go home after that and if nothing happened, i was told to return the next morning at 6:30am to be "officially" induced.
I actually went into labor while there and decided to go home anyways because i knew it would be a little bit until active labor and i didn't really want to walk the hallway. I returned to the hospital at midnight and was 4cms (i was nothing when the gel went in).

What an amazing story! And what a clever life-saving idea!

The core mission of United Hatzalah (which is Hebrew for "rescue") is saving lives. But the organization performs another kind of rescue as well: from the sharp social divisions that so often pervade life in Israel. In United Hatzalah, Jews and Muslims volunteer their services side-by-side, dedicated to the common cause of improving emergency medical care. The organization's volunteers provide assistance no…

The Urban Retreat
For the past 15 years, I have been working in higher education at Bethel University in St.Paul, Minnesota. During this time, I have worked in Residence Life, Counseling Services and as adjunct faculty in the Psychology Department. I completed a Doctorate of Ministry with an emphasis in Spiritual Formation since I deeply desire to see transformation occur in our lives and relationships. Additionally, I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who enjoys helping people understand the systems they have emerged from or are currently living in. Most recently, I have begun helping others work toward an integrated understanding of their mind, body and spirit. I prefer to utilize a holistic approach to mental health and spiritual well-being.
In an effort to be transparent - I want you to know now - I come from a Judeo-Christian background and my worldview is influenced by the life and teachings of Jesus. For some, this will be familiar ground. For others, this is not their preferred paradigm. Some of the retreats I provide will have this spiritual background influence the material. Other retreats are non-religious.
Whether I have been teaching, seeing clients, leading retreats or facilitating workshops, I have always delighted in providing space for people to engage experiential learning that is transformational for their everyday lives.

Lots of new things for ds!!
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 08-19-2012 - 6:44pm
First, he is an only child for a while as we dropped dd off at college. They are quite close, even though he is stoic, I am sure he misses her knowing she is gone for a long time. I was fine, trust me I fell apart and Kindergarden, but no issues with college!?!?! Daddy, though, was much more sad.
Then, he is starting High School!! Wow!!
Third, he is playing high school football. He played peewee ball before, but this is much tougher. He has a lot of friends on his team. He loves his coach and may try wrestling too.
|Mon, 08-20-2012 - 11:16pm
How exciting!! And lots of fun stuff to distract you from missing dd, right? It's awesome that he is finding activities in HS; it will really help him enjoy his time there!
|Tue, 08-21-2012 - 9:41am
Hope your son has a good start to high school!
My YDD is also an "only" for the first time. Her sister went off to college 4 days ago. Though it is quiet- it also is kind of nice. There is NO bathroom drama. And car rides- are QUIET LOL.
I'm sure dd misses her sister.
And no, I really didn't have a hard time either. I feel like "it's time". And so far she's ok.

Carrying Coca: 1,500 Years of Andean Chuspas
April 10–August 3, 2014
Curated by Nicola Sharratt
No Indian is without his chuspa or coca-bag, made of llamacloth, dyed red and blue in patterns, with woolen tassels hanging from it. He carries it over one shoulder, suspended at his side.
—Sir Clements Markham, Travels in Peru and India, 1862
Carrying Coca: 1,500 Years of Andean Chuspas considers how two components of Andean life—coca leaves and hand-woven textiles—are brought together in the small bag called a chuspa and examines this traditional object in changing cultural and economic contexts. Curated by Nicola Sharratt, this groundbreaking exhibition highlights the tension between tradition and innovation surrounding these socially important woven objects by presenting chuspas not as representations of a static, indigenous heritage but as the embodiment of social and economic change. In their actual and symbolic connection with coca, chuspas are unique among Andean textiles, essential to cultural practice, social relationships, ritual activity, and political negotiation. By investigating how these striking textiles are made, what they look like, who wears them, and when and how they are used, Sharratt reveals for the first time in an exhibition how the history of chuspas is a consequence not only of variations in Andean textile traditions but also of the story of the sacred and contested substance they carry.
Nicola Sharratt is the BGC–American Museum of Natural History postdoctoral fellow in museum anthropology and a research associate at the Field Museum in Chicago. She directs an archaeological program in southern Peru, and her publications focus on the collapse of ancient South American states and empires, geochemical analyses of archaeological artifacts, and Andean craft production in the past and present.

Carrying Coca: 1,500 Years of Andean Chuspas
by Nicola Sharratt
Textile production and consumption has played a central role in the economy of the Andes region of South America since the Inca Empire (AD 1400–1532). This book traces 1500 years of textile arts in the Andes, with a focus on chuspas, small bags originally designed to hold coca leaves; colorful and functional, chuspas are both aesthetically pleasing and technically sophisticated pieces of art. In an area noted for extreme weather, textiles produced from the wool of llamas, vicuñas, alpacas, and other indigenous animals were essential in protecting people from the cold and wind at high altitudes in the Andes. Often stunningly beautiful, these textiles were also demanded as tribute by the state, and offered as valuable gifts. Beyond their functional and aesthetic value, textiles have long played important ritual and social roles in Andean communities. Fully illustrated, this book offers an important introduction to the rich history and key roles of these textiles.

To harvest kohlrabi, trim off the stems and use the bulb as you would a turnip.
Purple Kohlrabi
- Bulb size: 2 1/2 inches
- Matures: 43 days<
- Plant spacing: 9 to 12 inches apart
- Plant size: 12 to 18 inches tall
Heirloom. In German, kohlrabi is a "cabbage turnip," referring to the fact that it is in the cabbage family but forms an edible turnip-like bulb just above the soil line. Not truly a bulb, it is an expanded stem. The unusual purple bulbs have a mild turnip-like flavor and may be eaten cooked or raw. Be sure to harvest while still young or the bulbs can get pithy. Good source of vitamin C. Harvest by pulling the plant and trimming away the stems and roots.
