Gardening Tool Essentials
If you want to avoid blood, sweat and unnecessary toil, getting the right tools for the job is your first step to garden satisfaction. Hacking off a branch with a pair of blunt secateurs instead of handy shears or planting a multitude of winter bulbs with a midget-sized trowel will only lead to frustration.
A few basic tools can turn backbreaking labour into a satisfying project. Labour-saving gardening essentials need not cost a fortune. Gardening centres often have special offers or sales and several different brands to choose from.
Mail order garden specialist offer many great deals and so do
exhibitors at gardening shows.
Here's a list of the basic tools you will need:
The gardener's single most important tool. Invest in a good-quality pair of these with good blades such as Wilkinson Sword. Always keep them sharp.
Secateurs are the perfect pruning device for most plants, use for dead-heading, cutting off dead or mildew-ridden stems, shaping and tidying up. They come in many sizes but a medium-sized pair should cover most jobs.
Garden Shears
Depending on the size of your hedge and the regularity of its need for pruning you might want to invest in an electric hedge trimmer. But for most small and medium-sized gardens a pair of hand-held shears should do. They are much hardier than secateurs so can cut thicker branches without blunting the blades. Also good for shaping any shrubs or small trees.
You will need a lopper if you cannot reach the top of your trees to cut the branches off. The blades at the end of a long handle are activated by a trigger mechanism.
Hand-sized Spade and Trowel
Essential for pots, small gardens and for inserting new plants into small overcrowded areas. The best all-round hand spade should have a wide blade. Don't get one that is too heavy and get a comfortable handle. Several companies make spades and trowels with foam or shaped handles including Wyevale, Freephone 0800 412213 for garden centres or visit www.wyevale.co.uk.
Spade and Fork
Essential tools for any major digging and planting or moving of well-established plants. Again check the spade/fork and handle are well-balanced and comfortable to use. Some spades have a flat-bottom blade; others are finished into a point to make easier for initiating the dig. If you only have a patio garden or pots, you can manage window boxes with the hand-held spade and trowel but you will need the full-sized version for heavy work and preparing the soil in any
medium and larger garden.
You may get away without a shovel if you have a small garden but for larger spaces this is an invaluable tool for lifting or clearing stones or gravel, and scooping any kind of debris or earth. It has a curved blade attached to the handle.
Small Rake
Ideal for regular weed removal, clearing space for new plants, removing stones and debris without damaging nearby plants. Again get one that is evenly balanced with a comfortable handle.
Soft full-sized rake
Get one with long soft spines for raking leaves. This will save endless time in autumn and will not harm leaf-covered grass.
An ordinary full-length, hard-bristled brush for sweeping off debris from patios, paved or decked areas.
Edging Tool
This has one or more cutting edges and is designed to keep lawns symmetrical and clean cut. An essential tool if you want to have tidy edges.
Bulb Planter
This excellent tool will save your back a lot of wear and tear. It's the size of a spade or shovel and at the bottom has a steel funnel. The funnel digs into the earth and removes the soil so that you are left with a hole in which to put the bulb. Then simply cover over the hole with soil. A great labour-saving device if you have many bulbs to plant.
Weeding Fork
There are two popular versions – the fork which is approximately 18" to 2ft long has a handle at the top and two little prongs. Place around the weed and pull up. Another version is the Garden Claw. This has a handle with little claws at the end that grab the weeds. This is about 3_" to 4" high. The Claw is sold at most garden centres.
Watering Can
A simple plastic watering can for areas of the garden that get missed by a hose or need to be moist during dry weather. Essential also for hanging baskets and pots. Get one with a detachable rose.
Investing in a good hose with a flexible, high-pressure nozzle will pay off in terms of being easy to water large areas and not taking all day to do it. It's also worth getting a sprinkler attachment if you have a lawn, and a stand where you can simply roll out the hose and return it so that the hose doesn't get kinks in it.
Wheel Barrow
Buying a good wheel barrow is not as easy as it seems. "Most of them are totally out of balance," says Charlie Dimmock. Her advice to "not get one with a crossbar underneath the handle so that every time you take a step you bash your shin". So when you lift it up make sure you can walk unrestricted! They are, however, great for lugging waste and soil if you have a large garden and any particularly heavy garden feature.
Compost Bin
For all matter organic such as lawn clippings, weeds, dead-heads. A bin rather than a pile of organic waste will make compost quicker and look tidier.
Hedge Trimmer
Depending on the size of your hedge and the regularity of its need for pruning you might want to invest in an electric hedge trimmer. You can get electric, cordless or petrol hedge trimmers.
The most essential tool for cutting long grass and edges where a lawn-mower can't fit. These come in many shapes and sizes and it is important to get the right one for the job. For more serious strimming wear eye protection.
Get the right one for your lawn. Petrol mowers are more flexible than electric ones but the petrol can be messy and will evaporate. Flymos are excellent for small to medium-sized gardens but you won't get the same lawn pattern as with a lawn mower.

Belichick avoids question about whether he thought Tebow was first-round worthy
Posted By Tom Kensler On December 14, 2011 @ 11:46 am In AFC West,Coaches,NFL draft,NFL Teams,Quarterback,Scout the Enemy Camp,Tim Tebow | 7 Comments
A bob-and-weave interview exchange between New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick on Wednesday during Belichick's teleconference with media who cover the Broncos:
REPORTER: "Were you considering drafting Tim in the first round in 2010?"
BELICHICK: "We evaluate all the players that are draft eligible, every year. The way the draft unfolds, we make the decisions in each of our picks for what's best for our football team. We do that with every pick, every year."
REPORTER: "Did you have a first-round grade on him, Bill?
BELICHICK: "I'm not going to get into what our grades are on individual players. But obviously, we scout everybody. I have a lot of respect for Tim. I have a real high opinion of him. I think everybody knows that."

SAN DIEGO (AP) - A 50-year-old San Diego woman has pleaded not guilty to placing a Craigslist ad seeking a sexual assault against a woman she allegedly was harassing online.
U-T San Diego (http://bit.ly/Vx4TRH ) says Kathy J. Rowe entered the plea Monday to identity theft, harassment and solicitation to commit sexual assault. She faces more than six years in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors contend that Rowe harassed a woman from last October through June and placed a Craigslist ad saying the woman wanted to participate in a "rape fetish."
Brendan McHugh says one person responding to the ad showed up at the victim's home.
The motive for the alleged harassment hasn't been released.

Titus ZJ
this wiki
This article has been evaluated to be at quality level 5. This article may seem complete to the untrained eye, but the gaps in information are still large enough for this elite team of Panauan Ninjas to hide inside of. |
Titus ZJ | |
Vehicle in Just Cause 2 | |
Type | Sports car |
Weapons | None |
Rarity | Rare |
List of owners | Civilians Ular Boys Colonel Lee Seng Sen |
The Titus ZJ is a sports car in Just Cause 2.
It looks like it may have been based on the TVR Tuscan Speed 6 and the Ford GT.
It has 3 versions:
- Titus ZJ - Metal roof.
- Titus ZJ Cabriolet - Convertible roof in the down (open) position.
- Titus ZJ Soft Top - Convertible roof in the up (closed) position.
It has "Avalanche Sport" written on the tires, which refers to Avalanche Studios, who worked on Just Cause 2. Hurst Dagger from Just Cause also has "AVALANCHE" tires.
As a high performance sports car, the Titus ZJ has excellent acceleration, speed and on-road handling. Armour and off-road handling, however, are very poor. Off-road, it tends to fishtail, making it a bad choice for off-road races. It also tends to lose stability on bumpy roads, like the tarmac road leading behind Colonel Lee Seng Sen's mansion. It is very easy to drive around Panau at moderate speeds but when you want to be an adrenaline junkie, avoid sudden turns and bumps in the road. The Titus is probably in the top 3 cars for drifting, with a very stable start, a smooth slide and finally a nice exit to allow new drifters to practice with some ease.
As it is fast though, the Titus can outrun most pursuers and catch up with fleeing targets with minimal effort. However, that doesn't mean that it will be a sturdy car in close pursuits. It will be able to sustain a few magazines of submachine gun fire but after that it will soon start to show signs of engine damage. Unless you can outmaneuver and speed away from your assailants quickly before they can get speed, don't use this for pursuits.
The table is from the official strategy guide:
Top Speed: | 85 |
Acceleration: | 83 |
Armour: | 30 |
"Handling": | 70 |
- X:9735; Y:12720 - Panau International Airport, Ramai Rakyat Islands - On the display at the main entrance on a podium.
- X:7590 Y:24310 next to a Gas Station. Any version of the Titus can spawn here.
- X:6700; Y:25730 - Behind Colonel Lee Seng Sen's mansion, Lautan Lama Desert.
- Behind the mansion in Tasik Permata, in the Lautan Lama Desert.
- X:3905; Y:21810 - In the Lautan Lama Desert behind a gas station next to a long road, a short distance southwest of Pulau Dayang Terlena military airport.
- 2 to 4 spawn at the Bandar Selekeh race track, just outside the Panau International Airport in the Ramai Raykat islands. They are hard to catch as they are racing at full speed. These cars can be of all 3 versions.
- There are two spawns at the off-road Racetrack at exactly X:11250; Y:4190.
- There are Pandak "Baby" Panay Statues on hilltops, around Panau City. The cars can often be found at parking lots next to the statues.
- At the end of the Race, 'Panau International', one spawns to the left of the runway. It comes in all colors and versions. This was presumably added to make up for the car that you just drove into the ocean at the end of the race, unless you slowed down and coasted across the finish line.
- A lot of fun can be had at the Bandar Selekeh race track, by shooting the racing cars tires causing them to flip and roll. Due to the Titus ZJ's poor durability against firearms, only a pistol is needed to burst the tires.
- According to the engine sound, it's a supercharged V8 engine.
- The rims resemble those from a Chevrolet Corvette Z06.

Array, or not to array? That is the question
Mar 14, 2012 2:49 PM, By Bob McCarthy
Speaker considerations for best deployment.
Let's dig a little deeper. The first reveal is that SPL numbers are as easily manipulated as political polling data. Typical SPL numbers (weighted or not) reduce the entire frequency range to a single value. If we have a 136dB SPL peak spec on our cabinet that does not mean we get 136dB SPL at all frequencies (or for that matter, any single frequency). It is an aggregate total over the entire range. Individual frequencies are unlikely to make it within 20dB of that number before breaking into hard distortion, or worse. The SPL capability distribution over frequency will vary tremendously, with the LF range of any given driver in the system typically falling furthest behind the pack. When we put multiple drivers together in an array, the SPL capability over frequency is substantively revised due to the shared effort of the speakers. The full range SPL number will likely miss the difference in LF power capability of eight 10in. drivers over a single 15in. driver. Maximum SPL is easily the most overrated statistic in audio.
Now, let's dig a little deeper into coverage pattern. So we have an 80-degree speaker, eh? Is it 80-degree over the speaker's full operating range of 50Hz to 18kHz? OK, so we know to give 50Hz a pass, but exactly (or even approximately) how wide is the range that we can expect our 80-degree spec to hold true? If you were thinking 1kHz, you would be wrong because there is no standard. The specified value is whatever folks want to print, and it can vary from covering multiple octaves to as small as one-third octave.
Let's back up a moment and consider what we know about coverage patterns. First, we know that the pattern will widen as frequency falls. It would be fair game to specify nearly every full-range speaker in the world as a 360-degree device (if we used 50Hz as the standard). We also know that a front-loaded cone driver will become more directional as frequency rises—a property known as "proportional directivity." This makes specifying these drivers a slippery prospect. Third, we know that horns can create a coverage pattern that is a stable frequency even for multiple octaves. Bigger horns can handle lower frequencies and, therefore, extend the controlled range downward. Horn size and depth also play a role in the pattern width. As a general trend, a bigger, deeper horn can create a tighter pattern.
To put this all in perspective: Our little 80-degree frontfill with a 1in. tweeter and tiny horn might actually hold that pattern from 4kHz to 8kHz. By contrast, our example speaker (with a 4in. compression driver and horn) should be able to hold that spec from 1kHz on up. Below 1kHz, it will transition into the LF driver, which is likely to be fairly close to 80 degrees there and then get gradually wider as frequency falls.
Now let's consider the 40-degree side of our example box. The horn is the same size and depth, but it has a different wall shape to get the narrower pattern. This will work fine enough, but something has to give. The pattern will probably not hold all the way down to the 1kHz frequency range like it did in the 80-degree plane. Therefore, we can think of the following trend lines in coverage pattern specifications: Wide coverage over a wide range can come in any size, but will hold its spec over a wider range as box size increases.
Large boxes with narrow coverage can hold their spec for a large range. Small boxes with narrow coverage only hold their spec for a small range. The smaller the box or the smaller the angle, the smaller the controlled range. That little 5-degree box you are about to fly is unlikely to hold its spec for more than a few notes around 8kHz.
Now we know a few things about a single box. From this we will build the case for how arrays work. But first we will take a brief moment to consider the room and the shape of our target: the audience seating line. Where do I want the sound to land so that it falls on the people? This is the most important consideration in choosing a solo speaker or an array. In the horizontal plane, we need to spread the sound from side to side like butter on bread. In the vertical plane, we need to drop a single line of sound from the front to the back. In either case, these target shapes are the same for all frequencies. We won't find rooms that are narrow in the HF range and wide in the lows. Therefore, what we need is a speaker system that can maintain its shape over frequency. For solo speakers, this leaves us with two main options: a wide speaker (various sizes) or a large-sized narrow speaker. If we combine speakers into arrays, we can get any shape we want. It just costs money. I could use arrays. We all need arrays, right?

On this page: EuroCloud UK – An Introduction
2014 Thank You to our Members
Member & Industry Consultation
Autumn Events Calendar
EuroCloud UK is the UK Cloud Computing sector's trade association and networking community. The UK component of the Pan-European EuroCloud movement which represents and is owned by the over 2,000 member organisations that cover every corner of the Cloud Computing value chain from infrastructure to applications and the ecosystem of channel, consultants and professionals which support it through 30 countries in which we maintain a presence.
EuroCloud UK is a membership organisation, we are owned by our UK members and our membership is open to all businesses in the Cloud supply chain with a UK presence. Our mission is to promote the adoption of Cloud, encourage best practice, further understanding of the benefits and transformational potential of Cloud, combat misinformation, uncertainty and other obstacles to an informed, sophisticated and mature marketplace and work with government, legislators and regulators to foster an informed, enlightened and benevolent environment for our members and our industry to deliver the benefits and prosperity that Cloud can bring.
The Board – EuroCloud UK is governed and managed by a Board, drawn and elected from the UK members, all of whom provide their services on a pro bono basis.
December 2014 will mark the 5th anniversary of the incorporation of EuroCloud UK. Fittingly, after the Strategic Review in July of this year EuroCloud, like so many entrepreneurial ventures from the Cloud class of 2009 has now successfully transitioned from bootstrapping start-up to the inflexion point of sustainability, growth and high value creation. It is time to thank our members, many of whom have been with us from the beginning, all of whom have contributed to our success. And as we are all members, looking towards our future with confidence, ambition and strategic purpose, let's share and decide upon the strategy for the next 5 years together.
The Strategic Review developed a series of precise recommendations to map the start of our trajectory for the next 5 years, and one firm conclusion. EuroCloud acts for and in the interests of its members and the wider constituency of the industry, prospective and future members and the society in which we represent a powerful force for prosperity. We shall go to our members and our regular audience of participants of our activities and consult on the advances proposed by the Board. Through the summer we will take note of opinions, objections, new ideas and starting in September as our autumn programme of events commences, communicate, collaborate and prepare to implement the new strategy with effect from the Annual General Meeting in early December. Update October '14: A clear mandate from the consultation has been to forge ahead and make G-Cloud a focal point of our work in the Cloud industry in UK. The Board have acted to appoint Dave Denton & Peter Middleton, already well known in the industry for their work on G-Cloud as part of Cabinet Office, to a joint seat on the Board from where they will spearhead EuroCloud UK's contribution to a successful and vibrant G-Cloud and the strong economic impact that will have on our members.
If you would like to participate in the survey: Please Click This Link.
The Board's new business strategy, which has been the focus of our consultation of Members and the wider industry audience since early September 2014, is almost certainly going to be adopted. This includes bold growth of EuroCloud's value, influence and positioning for its members. It also incorporates a significant shift to commercial subscription rates FOR NEW MEMBERS. The Board want to ensure that an opportunity exists, by trailing, explaining and giving notice of this increase: which will be effective from December 4th 2014 31 January 2015 (as amended by motion at the AGM); that particularly UK based SMBs to whom our existing activities and future work in G-Cloud and Europe can have such strong benefits, have a window of opportunity to secure their place on the permanently low subscription rates afforded to our Members who have been with us through our start-up years. The short version of which is "sign-up now" and your subscription will be 1/3rd of what it would be if you wait until the end of the year. Here is more explanation and a link to the sign-up page.
EuroCloud Congress 2014 will take place in Luxembourg on 30 September and 1 October. As last year, the programme includes policy makers and industry speakers from across Europe, with many of the continent's brightest cloud entrepreneurs. Registration is now open.

22nd December, 1927
My dear P.M.,
The question of the future of this External Affairs service has been rather on my mind. I think the real difficulty about keeping people in the service is that of the lack of appointment for promotion. You may say that it would be possible to make opportunities for promotion from the External Affairs service into other branches of the Australian Civil Service-but people of the type you want in this service will not want to go into the ordinary administrative services-they will tend to become specialists on foreign affairs and would probably be unsuitable for ordinary administrative work.
The External Affairs service is now composed of 5 or 6 men, and the top two jobs are worth 1,000 a year-this is small inducement to get good men permanently. It tends to attract good men for a few years' interesting experience and it is not a good thing to have new men floating in and out.
The solution is not simple and I am far from suggesting that new and well-paid posts should be created merely to provide opportunity for lucrative promotion.
Allen Leeper's [1] idea from the start has been that we should institute entry by examination and selection on exactly the same lines as entry into the British Diplomatic Service, and that we should approach the Foreign Office with the idea of having a system of free exchange of officers between our External Affairs service and the British Foreign service. On talking to him in Vienna lately, I find he is unchanged in his views on this point.
I don't think this would work. We would, no doubt, be glad enough to have the privilege of members of our External Affairs service exchanging temporarily with the British Diplomatic Service for experience and promotion, but I cannot imagine the reverse happening. It would be quite inappropriate for members of the British Diplomatic Service to be Director of External Affairs at Canberra, to be Liaison Officer here in London, or even (looking into the future) acting as Australian Counsellors at Washington or Tokyo. The very point of our External Affairs service is that the personnel should be Australians and should know Australia, so that they can instinctively take the Australian point of view.
No; I think we will have to put up with the fact that for the next ten years or so we are likely to have good men coming into the External Affairs service for 2 or 3 or 4 years and then going out.
This is not a good thing admittedly, hut if we have men of a good type, the risk of their making subsequent use of the information they gain is small. And as the External Affairs service seems likely to grow naturally, then the position will gradually right itself, and it may be expected to live and thrive as a service completely separate from the British Diplomatic Service. [2]
I am, Yours sincerely, R. G. CASEY

If you have diabetes, you know all too well what's going to happen between now and the end of the year. You'll be forced to make some quick and painful decisions at sumptuous holiday feasts. Do you refuse the lavish, carbohydrate-rich fare and give up on the fun of the season? Or do you go whole hog, eating everything in sight, and hope that your insulin or medication can take up the slack?
3 comments - Posted Dec 18, 2011
Living with diabetes, you are already hyper-aware of food, but the holidays seem to heighten that awareness. Faced with your aunt's delicious homemade cornbread and your grandma's famous sweet potato casserole, you may find yourself digging through your closet for your old carbohydrate-counting books and guessing at your insulin adjustments. Who wants to go through the holidays with the added stress of high blood sugars and associated mood swings, especially when your family is already driving you nuts? No, thanks.

James Clifton Green, Jr. Sentenced to 51 Months for Bank and Mail Fraud and Money Laundering
OXFORD, Miss. – William C. Martin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi, Thomas McDade, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Inspector General, Dallas Field Office, Martin Phanco, Inspector in Charge, United States Postal Inspection Service, Atlanta Division, and Special Agent in Charge James C. Lee, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, New Orleans Field Office, announced that:
James Clifton Green, Jr., 57, of Belden, former President and controlling stockholder of
Peoploungers, Inc., was sentenced today before United States Chief District Judge Michael P.
Mills, in Oxford, Mississippi, following his plea in April to a three-count Information, charging
him with bank fraud, mail fraud and money laundering. Judge Mills ordered Green to pay
restitution in the amount of $6,150,000, and sentenced him to 51 months in prison for each
count, with the sentences to run concurrently . Green was also sentenced to serve a term of five
years supervised release.
In April, Green admitted to misrepresenting his financial position to a number of banks in
the North Mississippi area by overvaluing his assets and under-reporting his liabilities for the
purposes of obtaining loans.
"Bank fraud and money laundering create harm to our financial institutions and our economy, but today's sentencing is a strong reminder how serious our courts consider this criminal activity," said James C. Lee, Special Agent in Charge, IRS-Criminal Investigation, New Orleans Field office. "Those who line their pockets with profits from illegal schemes should know they will not go undetected and will be held accountable."
"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of Inspector General is pleased to have partnered with our law enforcement colleagues in bringing about today's sentencing," said Jon T. Rymer, Inspector General. "Those who seek to undermine the integrity of the financial services industry and whose actions cause losses to FDIC-insured institutions need to be held fully accountable. We commend the AUSA's efforts in bringing Mr. Green to justice."
This case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service in the Memphis, Tennessee office, IRS Criminal Investigation, in the Oxford, Mississippi office, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - Office of Inspector General, in the Dallas, Texas office and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Paul D. Roberts.

Eventually photography addictive as our vision grows through talent, time, and experience. This painted concrete wall was located in a small town near Michigans Mackinaw Bridge. The wall is the side of a building that has long been closed, a victim of the changes that small towns throughout the rural Midwest have experienced.

The most important festival in the Chinese calendar also comes with long-standing traditions. Spanning at least 2,000 years to the time of the Han Dynasty, Chinese New Year – or Spring Festival – began as an end-of-harvest celebration to give thanks for the year's crops.
Food, then and now, is the main preoccupation of Chinese New Year, though the last 50 years have given us some newfangled modern favourites. If you look forward to chilli bacon bak kwa more than grandma's steamed fish, that's just a sign of the changing times. But give the timeless recipes a chance too – there's a reason why these auspicious dishes and food items are served for reunion dinner. Here's a look at what to eat to start the year right:
Sweet and savoury nian gao from Yan Ting | Photo: St. Regis |
Nian gao
"Year cake"
Mandarin for "year cake", this glutinous rice-based cake can be found year round, but is traditionally consumed during Chinese New Year for good luck. "Nian gao" is a homonym for 'higher year' – literally raising yourself in status in the coming year. It's a popular gift during this period, especially when shaped in a pair of carps to symbolise surplus, or ingots to represent wealth. The cakes we're familiar with are in the Cantonese style, sweetened with brown sugar and can be eaten as is. However, the favourite way is to pan-fry it with an eggwash to add a crispy bite to the sticky, chewy treat.
The Chinese word for 'abundance' or 'surplus', "yu" (a homonym for "fish") is inescapable during Chinese New Year, and this makes fish the inevitable star of any Chinese New Year meal. A whole fish with the head and tail is de rigeur, as it symbolises the year's beginning to end, and freshwater is usually preferred. However, tradition also has it that you should deliberately leave some of the fish uneaten to truly represent the 'surpluses' of the coming year.
Yu sheng
Raw fish salad
The contemporary version of this dish (see "The anatomy of yu sheng") proudly debuted in Singapore in the 1960s at Lai Wah Restaurant. "Yu sheng" or yee sang translates to 'raw fish', but is also treated as a homophone for "yu sheng" – an increase in abundance. The humble dish was thought to have bene inspired by a dish that originated in Guangdong – strips of fresh, raw fish to accompany porridge. It is meant to be served on ren ri, the seventh day of new year, but the combination of condiments such as plum sauce and sesame oil, alongside shredded fresh vegetables and raw strips of fish or seafood has become so popular that it's eaten before, during and even after Chinese New Year, as part of any gatherings or reunions.

Jiao zi
Dumplings traditionally resemble ingots, or money, hence eating dumpling is believed to usher in wealth. In Northern China where this tradition is more popular, jiao zi are made with a soy-ginger cabbage and pork filling, and eaten at midnight. To make it more literal, a gold coin may be hidden in one of the dumplings to bring extra luck to the eater. More popular in Singaopore is tang yuan – sweet glutinous rice balls; its name sounds like "tuan yuan", or 'reunion'.
Fatt choy ho see
Black moss with dried oysters
Chances are, you will be confronted with a vegetable dish studded with black moss ("fatt choy" – which can mean "strike it rich") and braised dried oysters ("ho see" – signifying "good things"). The name of the resulting dish sounds like "successful, prosperous business" – and is usually served casserole-style with lettuce ("sang choy" which sounds like 'rising fortune'). Slurp it up!
Chang shou mian
Longevity noodles
The longer the noodle, the longer the wish for a long (i.e. healthy) life. Chang shou mien, or longevity noodles, are eaten all year round, but bring extra meaning to birthday and new year celebrations. To boost the longevity wishes, cook your noodles with mustard greens, which symbolise long life for parents.

Thephoenix and dragon
Whole chicken and lobster
Bring hope to your table with a whole chicken. The chicken, or phoenix, represents a good marriage and the coming together of families. The Cantonese will opt for fried chicken, as the dish name in Cantonese, kum gai bo hay, means "golden rooster reporting good news". According to Martin Yan, the 'phoenix and dragon' dish is a must for Chinese New Year – using chicken to represent the phoenix and lobster for dragon.
Pen cai
"Big bowl feast"
A braised dish attributed to the Song Dynasty and associated with Hong Kong, pen cai has become an attractive dish for Singaporeans during Chinese New Year for its large portions and luxe ingredients, rather than festive symbolism. In a wooden or ceramic basin or pot, ingredients are layered according to textures – vegetables are arrayed at the bottom to soak up juices, pork, chicken and mushrooms in the middle, and seafood such as prawns, abalone, sea cucumber and scallops are crowned on top. The dish is prepared over a few days to bring out the flavours of each ingredient.
From dining on scorpions in Thailand to llama in Chile, there is nothing that fazes June Lee, CSW. Finding the right wines to match can be a challenge, though. With 12 years' experience in food and travel writing, she counts snorkelling in the Maldives, living with nomadic families in Mongolia, and driving in Mexico as her most memorable adventures.

I have decided to share some glimpses into my life because lets face it, its those cute mugs that I wake up to every morning that inspired me to pick up a camera in the first place.
So, here is your opportunity to take a peek into my life, crazy and all.
My middle little man had a friend over the other day who had just gotten a guitar for his birthday. Beckam was b.e.y.o.n.d excited to go jam with him. The fact that Becks doesn't even know how to hold the guitar right wasn't even an issue because playing the guitar in the leaves just makes you cool.

Home of Felice Scala, 61, and his son, Ralph, 36, who are accused of terrorizing residents and business owners on Quebec Ave. Scala house is on right, with white fence.
Credits: Chris Doucette/Sun Media
TORONTO -- A notorious bully who terrorized his neighbours and made them feel like prisoners in their homes was jailed for 60 days.
"The law cannot enforce a person to love thy neighbour," said Justice John Ritchie said in passing sentence on Ralph Scala Wednesday.
The judge also ordered him to stay out of the neighbourhood for three years and avoid any contact with his victims.
Scala, 40, who was credited with 12 days already served, pleaded guilty to 20 offences, including uttering threats, mischief interfering with property and failing to comply with probation.
These offences arose from a threat Scala uttered to QMI Agency columnist Michele Mandel in November 2011 at the Old City Hall courthouse after his father, Felice Scala, was denied bail for allegedly breaching his probation on six occasions.
"They're playing with fire -- I'm back in four months," Scala told Mandel of his neighbours. "A lot of people are going to be selling their houses."
The same residents who endured years of tire slashings, broken windows, and dog feces and dead animals dumped on their doorsteps took Scala's published words as a threat. Consequently, he was charged.
"These charges go back for 13 years. A neighbourhood dispute between Mr. Scala and these victims resulted in a number of threats, slashed tires on a fairly constant basis," Crown attorney Rebecca Edward said.
"They were stressed out and terrorized neighbours, who had moved and had breakdowns. This synopsis doesn't do the victims justice."
Almost four years ago, Felice Scala pleaded guilty to 49 charges, including mischief, harassment and making threats. The Scalas then moved.
School principal Angelo Bolotta, whose mother-in-law suffered severe harassment at the Scalas' hands, said probation hasn't stopped Scala in the past.
"He's capable of exacting revenge well beyond this neighbourhood. We deserve more than we've gotten from the last 13 years from the criminal justice system," said Bolotta, 61.
"I believe in the rule of the law because that's what sets us apart from animals."
His wife, Maria, said her now deceased mother feared leaving her home because the Scala's pit bull intimidated her as she walked down her front stairs.
"We had 56 police officers at my then 80-year-old mom's house. It took forever to get justice," said Bolotta, a teacher. "We had to get a petition of more than 100 residents before the police recognized this wasn't simply a one-resident dispute, but a community held in terror."

Academic Triathlon Awards Ceremony
The 2012-2013 U.S. Academic Triathlon Awards Ceremony of School District 833 was held today at Cottage Grove Middle School at 7 pm.
The cafeteria at Cottage Grove Middle School was packed with USAT participants and their families. Tina Van Erp, District's new Gifted & Talented coordinator, presided over the awards ceremony. Principals or their representatives from participating elementary and middle schools were present to honor the students from their own schools.
Every USAT participant received a customized medal. It has "2012-13 USAT" on the front and participant's name and school on the back of the medal.
Academic Triathlon is an after school enrichment program offered to students in 5th-8th grade through the District's Gifted & Talented Office.
The program has been growing very year. This year, District 833 had 32 teams (29 teams last year) of 5th-6th graders and 11 teams (8 teams last year) of 7th-8th graders with a total of 219 students (189 last year) participating in the USAT.
There were 81 coaches (46 last year) who coached the weekly practices and organized three Round Robin meets and one regional meet during the months from November to March.
I am thankful for all the coaches who gave so much of their time and energy to make things happen. Without these parents serving as volunteer coaches, the program would not be possible.
I want to especially thank my daughter's coaches Denice and Lynn for their hard work and efforts.
Thanks also to Tina Van Erp and Laura Vogel from District G&T Services for coordinating the USAT program, and to all educators for their support.
Several teams that won the first place at the regional meets will go to the State Tournament. Good luck to all the teams from our District that will go on to the state meet.

A. Now things are starting to get a little more complex. Now we're dealing here with authority and leadership in the marriage. Now things could become heated very quickly. Divine order is always hotly contested by Satan.
I know of no way to illustrate this better than for you to think of a STEERING WHEEL. The question is:
Now the second cause of marriage conflict relates to a different PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE. This is critical! The center-of-life philosophy will always boil down to two choices – GOD or MAN. Either God is the source of all wisdom and meaning in life, or man is the source of all wisdom and meaning in life. In short, you will either have a God-centered philosophy of life, or you will have a man-centered philosophy of life. In this sense we are all philosophers and philosophical whether we want to admit it or not.
We're going to deal with PROBLEMS IN THE MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP. And what we are going to talk about is FOUNDATIONAL, and therefore MANDATORY for all. None of this is OPTIONAL or to be dealt with later or lightly. It is first things first, right from the beginning issues. It all stands or falls right here.
In fact, we're going to spend most of our time IDENTIFYING problems, because I've discovered you can't RESOLVE marital conflicts until you can first see that a problem EXISTS, and what it is.
I recall vividly the couple that I was pre-marriage counseling, and of whom I asked a standard question among many other standard questions, and that question was:
It was obvious by their uneasy facial expressions and body twitching that the question was a very uncomfortable rhetorical one in the affirmative. No answer needed! There was for them an eternal pause of silence, and then the young woman finally braved the answer and said with great embarrassment, "Yes we do."
The next thing that happens is that there is a sense of a "Need To Define The Relationship." A need to describe it! And maybe you will begin to articulate it, maybe to that person, but maybe not. But in any case, the question will be asked:"WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MEAN TO EACH OTHER?"
My husband and I are proud parents of three foster children and four children of our own. We became foster parents after the foster home that our first foster child came from lost their license due to lack of proper judgment on raising a teenage girl. She was our daughter's best friend and she was really excelling in the school system that we live in. Generally foster kids move to many homes in their life and if they can at least stay in the same community where they seem to be doing well, we were happy to be a part of that. She now lives on her own and goes to Grand Rapids Community College here in Michigan.
A young man spied a beautiful young woman walking along the road and followed her for about a mile. The young woman knowing that she was being followed, finally turned, looked straight at the young man and asked him demanding, "Why are you dogging my footsteps?" He answered, "Because you are the loveliest, the most beautiful, the most breathtaking thing I have ever seen." He paused and then went on to say, "I have fallen madly in love with you. It happened the moment I laid my eyes on you. It was love at first sight."

Healthy Steps: Get 30 Minutes of Walking
May 6, 2004 -- Strap on the pedometer: Walking 10,000 steps daily helps greatly with weight loss, according to a new study. That's about five miles -- but over a day's time, it's possible, experts say.
Regular exercise has long been known to burn calories. Studies have shown that people who exercise regularly have less body fat, especially in the belly. Fat in the belly is linked to heart disease risk.
But the question has been: Exactly how much walking works?
This is the first study to specifically look at that figure, writes lead researcher Dixie L. Thompson, PhD, with the Center for Physical Activity and Health at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Her study appears in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
"Pedometers have become increasingly popular devices for public use," writes Thompson. "These devices are relatively inexpensive, are unobtrusive, and provide immediate feedback to the wearer." They also provide a relatively accurate report of overall calorie burn.
Among women over age 40, walking has been known to make a difference, reports Thompson. She set out to give midlife women a "walking formula" for weight loss.
Getting the Figure
In her study, 80 women -- average age 50 years old -- wore a pedometer every day for seven days. But before they started, researchers measured their height, weight, body mass index (BMI, a measure of body fat), as well as waist and hips (to determine belly fat).
Women wore their pedometers on their waistband. Every evening, they noted the number of steps they walked that day. Every morning, they reset the pedometers. They did nothing different, in terms of exercise -- just followed their typical work and leisure routines.
At the end of seven days, it was obvious: Women who walked more had less body fat, lower body mass index (BMI), and a lower waist/hip circumference, writes Thompson.
BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio are measures of obesity. A BMI of more than 25 is considered overweight, and more than 30 is obese. In men, having a waist more than 40 inches or waist-to-hip ratio more than 0.95 increases the risk of health problems. In women, it's 35 inches and 0.80.

I was quite sceptical about this creme and thought it will not do as it says itdoes. So I had to try it. I washed my hair like always and just before drying I applied a little bit of this creme. It smells very fruity and refreshing. I noticed that blow drying time was reduced from 30mins to only about 10 mins and hair already felt very soft. Once I finished my hair were straight and manageable and very soft. I love this creme and my hair loves it as well! I keep getting compliments and finally I'm in control of my hair.

I absolutely love this mascara!!! It doesn't clump at all, it stays on all, and isn't flaky. I have long eyelashes with very little volume, and after curling my lashes, this mascara adds tons of volume and even more length. I also have very oily lids, and this doesn't smudge on me at all. Definitely repurchasing!!
Not my favorite mascara. Not even close. It's not a bad mascara, it's just not for me. I like the packaging and the brush... but that's about it. The formula is way too dry for my tastes, and I found it was just.. super duper clumpy with just one coat. And it dried out fairly quickly too. It took quite a bit of combing through with a clean spoolie or eyelash comb for the clumps and spider-lashes to be fixed but once that happened it did look okay. There was definite volume added to my lashes! Just far too much trouble to get there imo
More reviews by VivaLaSunshine
My favourite mascara! I just repurchased it after trying the Colassal mascara, which I absolutely didn't (very wet and flaky). This mascara gives major volume and length, just perfect. :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm surprised by all of the negative reviews on this mascara! I personally love it. I prefer to use Maybelline the flasies flared, and then follow up with this to prevent any smudging and it works great! It also gets rid of any clumps the falsies may have left behind.
Even when I accidentally wipe my eyes it stays on, but it isn't hard to remove at the end of the day!
I got it online for SGD 10, really good price for a drugstore mascara. Mascaras usually costed me about $15-$20 from Watsons.
Honestly, I got it because of its packaging (REALLY CUTE!) but am so so so impressed with its lasting power and the volume it gives. I had quite a few compliments from my classmates when I wore it to school. It's smudge-proof but easy to remove.
Strongly dislike this product...I've seen many youtubers talk about this, but jesus this was just so average. I mean if you're looking for a cheap normal mascara this is good enough. The only benefit of this mascara is that it doesn't clump.
However, I have seen wayyyyyy better mascaras for almost the same price, if not a few dollars more, and are definitely worth the extra dollars.
This mascara did smudge for me, not that much just a little bit, and after curling my lashes it did not hold up my lashes well at all. Just made them go down, which I hate! Especially living in a humid country.
Love getting perfectly curled lovely lashes...and if you do too, do not get this product.
I invest more towards Korean and Japanese mascaras because they are just so darn fantastic because I think they feel the same way about humidity and lashes and curls!
[I use Kiss Me Heroine Make Impact Frame & Curl Mascara, million times better than this mascara. Has lash serum in it, helps curl the lashes and also helps sustain the curls and is resistant to oil/water/and even lash serum. This product is from Japan and is just so incredible, the only down side is that is very hard to remove if you do not have a good waterproof makeup remover or one of their special mascara removers specifically for that mascara (it instantly slides off in this case). Also smells like swimming pool for some reason??? but still, worth the effects of volume, curl and length and durability.]
So yes, this mascara sucked! Not much difference to the rest of their mascaras.
Update: this needs a blow torch to take off. Don't buy it unless you want to lose half of your eye lashes.
More reviews by delicatebalance
After seeing so many good reviews on Youtube I decided to give this mascara a try. Overall it didn't do anything for me. There is WAY too much product on the brush, so unless you wipe 90% of it off, clumpy lashes are totally unavoidable. It was also painful (literally) to remove. I had to scrub my eyes with makeup remover to get it off, leaving my eyes red and irritated. Don't waste your money!
I wish I liked this product because I'm a sucker for good drugstore mascaras. Especially ones that have brushes that separate and lengthen lashes and give volume. That being said, like other reviewers I noticed a lot of product on the brush and when I took it off it was a serious struggle. I ended up breaking pieces of my lashes off trying to get the mascara off with my eye makeup remover. It's not worth the pain and aggravation with this mascara.

Dear Fellow Yogis and Music Lovers: Todd Boston
Dear fellow Yogis and Music Lovers,
The last few months have been an exciting time and I am moved by how life flows with majesty and grace when we are lined up with our calling and purpose. My life has brought me to Vermont to record my next album with legendary Grammy winning guitarist/producer Will Ackerman (founder of Windham Hill Records) and a list of Grammy winning musicians.
I grew up on the east coast but have lived in AZ and CA for the last 17 years. Life is brining me full circle with the recording project as well as a blessed opportunity to be in Stratton Vermont this summer at both the Anusara Grand Circle and the Wanderlust Festival sharing my music, practicing yoga and hanging with great people in nature! Here is a glimpse of what I have been up to and what we are creating. See you in June!!

The raising of the flags on the Canadian Princess is seen locally as the unofficial start of the summer tourist season here in Sunny Ucluelet, alerting fishers and locals alike that the "The Ship" is open for another season.
This years message is "Oak Bay Marine Group, Best in Sport Fishing since 1962" (for those of us who don't know International Maritime Signal Flags).
Our first guests actually arrived a day early, they were so anxious to fish.
It was a day of firsts of a few kinds.
Our first fishing boat and our first whale watching boat of the season went out, and the first meals and the first adult beverages were served - to mention a couple of them.
A bit windy for the first trip, but a good haul of bottom fish made it worthwhile, and although no whales were sighted this time, the watchers had a great time as well by all reports.
We are still having fun on the desk remembering (or trying to) our training now that real guests are checking in. The guests are being very kind and understanding.
