Dad saved me and Mom was with me everyday in the back yard until she got sick and Dad had to help her come out in the wheelchair.
I used to help Mom water in the back yard;) Okay, okay, I didn't help Mom we played in the water together. After that Mom would take me into town just for a large cup of iced water and we would drive around until I got tired and we'd come home. I used to try to sneak out to see what was out there and I got out a few times. Mom says when I got out I didn't know my name. That's when Mom started using the car to come get me. That Mom of mine is pretty smart.....she knew I loved riding in her car;)
I had great life. I helped Dad with the chores;) Okay, okay I didn't help, I used to walk off with his tools;) I love Mom & Dad's back yard kitties so much that I herd them into the garage whwen a storm is coming. I also loved Mom's lop eared rabbit Willow. Mom has a photo of Willow sleeping on top of me;)
Thew last 2 years of my life I felt old, but not painfully so. The last year I knew I wasn't going to be here and it made me sad. Mom & Dad visited me lots and gave me the treats I loved. Mom would often cry, but I don't know why? Dad told her not to think about me not being there. One day I felt like crap. The vet, who is a nice man, came to examine me and told Mom & Dad my heart was giving out and that I had others problems, but I didn't hear what it was. Mommy, Daddy and all the kitties told me good bye and I went to sleep. Everyone was upset for a long time.
I miss my family ands hope God lets us meet again.
Signing off.....Woof
I liked every holiday except July 4th. Dad stayed with me in the garage cause I was really scared.
All other holidays were awesome, as I got turkey.
My favorite was when Mom filled a bone with peanut butter for me;) Those weren't holidays, they were just special days.

Here I am yet again. I've missed writing and sharing a little bit of myself on my little slice of the internet.
I think the process of writing pulling out the highlights of my life has really been missing from my routine. It's time for me to decide who I'm going to be as a wife, a teacher, and just a happy person. Here's to writing down and sharing that journey.

Bird's Nest Orange Carrot Cupcakes for Easter
I think I might be getting a little too into cupcakes.... oh well! For easter with the family this year I offered to make carrot cupcakes. Why carrot? because that's what the easter bunny eats, duh. Now, I got myself into a little pickle and got two different recipes then couldn't decide which one to use, so obviously I made both! Here's the first recipe.
A huge thanks to my (future) mother-in-law Renee for sharing this amazing recipe with me!
Orange Carrot Cake
Makes 24 cupcakes
3 cups All Purpose Flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup coconut
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 cups (4 medium) shredded carrots
1 1/4 cups oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp grated orange peel
11 oz can (1 cup) mandarin oranges, undrained
3 eggs
8 oz package cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp margarine or butter melted
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2 to 3 cups sweetened coconut
72 mini eggs
Heat oven to 350 degrees farenheit
Grease (not oil) 13x9 inch pan OR prepare two cupcake tins with liners
In a large bowl, blend all cake ingredients; beat two minutes at high speed
Pour into greased pan
Bake at 350 for 45 to 55 minutes OR 15 to 20 minutes for cupcakes; until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean
In medium bowl, blend all the frosting ingredients except the nuts; beat until smooth.
Spread over cake OR use a piping bag to ice cupcakes
Sprinkle with nuts if desired
Sprinkle with nuts if desired
Spread coconut evenly over a baking tray
Bake at 300 for 5 to 10 minutes; keep a close eye on it as it will burn quickly
The Assembly: Ice the cupcakes making sure there's a little extra on the outside edges to help make your nests. Sprinkle the cupcakes with toasted coconut. Place 3 eggs in the centre of each cupcake and voila!
Tips & Tricks: I left out the grated orange peel, still delicious. Also, use a food processor to shred your carrots! So quick and painless.

Yummy Rolo Cupcakes
In my last placement every Thursday was pot luck, aka my favourite way to eat. I was nominated to make dessert and I remembered I had this super awesome giant cupcake holder, so obviously my first choice was to make cupcakes! But what kind? After scouring my cupcakes board on Pinterest and remember my favourite chocolate bar I decided on Rolo Cupcakes.
Makes about 24 cupcakes
2 cups flour
¾ cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup full fat mayonnaise
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups freshly brewed coffee
3 packs (about) Rolo chocolates - chopped
40 (about) caramel candies (like chewy caramels)
Mini Rolos for decorating
Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Icing
I barely had enough to ice all of them, I'd recommend a double batch if you plan on using lots like I did.
1 cup softened butter
3 1/2 cups icing sugar
dash of vanilla extract
dash of cream
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 cup melted dark chocolate - cooled but still runny
Preheat oven to 180' C / 350' F .
Add all the ingredients in a mixing bowl except for the freshly brewed coffee and mix on high speed until combined
Add the coffee bit by bit until it is all mixed in
Add the chopped up rolo chunks and mix
Fill some prepared cupcakes liners so the bottom is covered
Drop a single caramel candy the cupcake liner so it sits on top of the cake mixture
Cover the caramel with the remaining cake mixture but be careful not to over-fill (¾ way is perfect!)
Bake for about 20min. (I usually check after 15 min and take them out at about 18min)
Let them cool completely before frosting them

Caramel Drizzle
Make sure it isn't too hot or it'll melt the icing!
And that's it!! Enjoy some delicious, chocolatey, chewy, caramely cupcakes. They we're a huge hit in the staff room, I had NONE to bring home and a few requests to bring in the recipe to share!
The original recipe I adapted this from can be found here at Bits of Sunshine.
In an electric mixture, mix butter and icing sugar until smooth and fluffy, adding the cream bit by bit until a nice smooth piping consistency is reached.
Add the vanilla essence and mix a bit more
While the mixer is running, slowly add the chocolate and beat.
Ice your cooled cupcakes as you wish!
Melt the rest of the caramel candies using a double boiler and add 1-2 tbsp of cream, when the consistency is runny enough drizzle over frosted cupcakes.

It's been how long?
Like ages, but let's not dwell on the past.
I've had quite the adventure thus far in teacher's college which mostly included drowning in assignments and the dreaded group work. I'm happy to say as of today that I have on more project to present/submit on Friday and then I'm DONE THE IN CLASS PORTION. I still have to complete an in class placement but that's the fun part of the faculty of education.
So after Friday I can get back to wedding planning, cupcake baking and maybe finding employment?
But for now, I'll leave you with my current feelings in video form. These are my feelings about life in teacher's college right now:

You snuck up on me there.
I love a new month, it's like a little restart. The best part about this month? One more month until the most wonderful time of the year, December.
I think it's beneficial to set goals for yourself, so with a new month comes some new goals:
Take more pictures
Stay on top of school work
Start "shredding for the wedding"

Goodbye my love!
Welp, one of my best friends has just left for a new adventure in Alberta! I'm incredibly happy for her, but also sad (obviously!).
We've gone to elementary, high school and university together, so here's some gems I've found from those times!
In honour of her departure a few of us got together for some apple juice and delicious lasagna. Nothing makes me happier than getting together with some good friends. Too bad it was a rather depressing occasion, for the record I only cried once.
I'm sure she'll do great in Alberta, and I'm so happy to call her one of my best friends and now bridesmaids... but's that's another post.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Call me crazy, but I absolutely love back to school time! This really validates my choice to become a teacher. Although, when I'm the one doing the teach I have a feeling I might not enjoy it that much.... But until then I'll enjoy the crap out of new binders and making lunches.
This year I'm going to be commuting to school and living and my parents house, nothing like saving a few (hundred) bucks a month. This being said, back to school this year is a little more... intense. I'll be leaving my house early every morning, driving an hour, and coming back later that night. That means I can't forget things, I can't be last minute, I better pack enough food and make sure I have breakfast... you get the idea. I'll be heading into the faculty of education so my time will be split between university classes, and high school placements..
So, here's some of my student/teacher must haves and tips for the academic year!
Get a planner and stay organized! I chose one small enough to fit in my purse, but size doesn't matter. It's what's on the inside that counts. I prefer to have a monthly calendar and a section for everyday. This allows me to see the whole month at a glance, as well as plan my days out. Colour code everything! I have so many highlighters and tabs it's ridiculous, but I love it. I actually went out and bought new markers just so all my classes could have their own colour for coding (I'm a little obsessed). I also use iCal on my computer to write down all my classes, under the "notes" section I write what I have to complete for each class. I use "all-day events" to mark any big projects, tests, essays, or quizzes I might have due so they stand out. Do I even need to mention that it's obviously colour coded to match my markers? I bought my planner at Target, other good options are Chapters/Indigo and Staples.
Feed your brain, and your belly! Make good food choices. This can be one of the hardest parts of being on campus for long periods. I mean, Pizza Pizza is just two steps away and they have a buy one get one free deal this week.... and all semester. Don't give in! Pack lots of healthy snacks and meals that you enjoy eating and will look forward to. In the long run your body and more importantly your brain will thank you for giving it the nourishment it needs to make you look and feel good. I'm hoping to keep you posted on some of the lunch ideas I come up with during the year. But until then, here are some of the sites that I go to for inspiration. 100 days of real food is a mom trying to feed her family good, clean food. She posts tons of her girls lunches! Another site that has tons of recipes is undressed skeleton, she has hundreds of meal and snack ideas. More recently she's moved on to offering clean recipes, which is great! When in doubt I think leftovers make the best lunches though. I just ordered these EasyLunches Bento Boxes from Amazon and am beyond excited to try them! Another staple of my lunches are Annie's Cheddar Bunnies and Gummy snacks. They're a great little treat, are easy to grab on the go and don't have buckets of chemicals in them.
Oh ya, one more thing, maybe the most important food tip, EAT BREAKFAST. Please, just do it. I'll come at you later with what I've been doing for quick on the go breakfasts.
Oh ya, one more thing, maybe the most important food tip, EAT BREAKFAST. Please, just do it. I'll come at you later with what I've been doing for quick on the go breakfasts.
Most of all, enjoy it! I always hear people saying high school/college was the best time of their lives... I've also heard the opposite. Don't fixate yourself on the though that you should be having like, the best time ever... enjoy what's in front of you and make yourself happy!
PS - I'm just going to pretend I never left the blogesphere, even though it's been months... okay, all summer, since I've posted. Now that I'm starting a new routine I'm hoping to include blogging into the mix again! I've missed it.

The Girl I Left Behind Me
ca. 1872
Eastman Johnson
Born: Lovell, Maine 1824
Died: New York, New York 1906
oil on canvas 42 x 34 7/8 in. (106.7 x 88.7 cm.) Smithsonian American Art Museum Museum purchase made possible in part by Mrs. Alexander Hamilton Rice in memory of her husband and by Ralph Cross Johnson
Smithsonian American Art Museum
2nd Floor, East Wing
Exhibition Label
A girl stands on a promontory, her hair streaming in the wind. The path before her trails off, so she must either retrace her steps or try to find her way forward. Her wedding ring speaks to a commitment to her union and a husband who has gone to war. The split-rail fence below and the fog surrounding her speak to a world fraught with division and ambivalence. Johnson's figure appears to be waiting for some sign of what will come next. The title comes from a Regimental song.
The Civil War and American Art, 2012
Gallery Label
Eastman Johnson imagined a soldier's wife standing on the hill where they parted. The crimson lining of her wind-whipped cape suggests their passionate love for one another, while her wedding ring, appearing almost at the center of the painting, ensures the young bride's devotion. Johnson had witnessed the Battle of Manassas in 1862, and the painting's title refers to an old Irish song that became a popular regimental ballad during the Civil War. His viewers might have recalled the lyrics:
My mind her full image retains
Whether asleep or awaken'd
hope to see my jewel again
For her my heart is breaking.
Exhibition Label, Smithsonian American Art Museum, 2006
Artwork Description
The Civil War defined America and forever changed American art. American artists of this era could not depict the conflict using the conventions of European history painting, which glamorized the hero on the battlefield. Instead, America's finest painters captured the transformative impact of the war. Through landscapes and genre paintings, these artists gave voice to the nation's highest ideals and deepest concerns — illustrating a time that has been described as the second American Revolution.

Why is there a golden moose?
Finally watched this tonight and enjoyed it a lot. This version of the show got off to a great start. Nice to see a lot of familiar faces. I'm so glad they chose Wakiya for the show, too. Lots of nice presentations, especially from Miyanaga. No surprise there, seeing as he learned so much from Michiba.
This is definitely one to see!

Is restylane safe to hide edges of gore-tex implant? Will I have complications with fillers after revision? (Photo)
I am Asian with thin skin & bulbous tip. I had gore-tex implant placed on bridge & septal cartilage on tip 2 months ago (doctor suggested gore-tex). The implant is too big & can be seen through the skin. I will do revision with smaller implant but my doctor says wait a year to not mess up the work he did on the tip. I hate seeing the outline of the implant. I don't want to look like this for a year. He mentioned Resty to smooth out the edges during my post-op. I read about necrosis & am scared.
Doctor Answers 3
Nasal implant
First of all, you should have the implant removed as it is certainly unsightly and it can be removed without harming whatever tip work was done. And then you most definitely need to see more than one consultant and make sure they have plenty of experience with nasal augmentation. Filler injections at this point would be a waste of your time and money.
Fillers placed in the nose
We do not recommend fillers placed in the nose especially after foreign body, synthetic implant is already in there. The implant should be removed since it's not the right size and placement of a cartilage graft or Silastic implant would be the best alternative.
Web reference: http://www.seattlefacial.com/photogallery/rhinoplasty_photos24.html
Depending on your examination, you may be a candidate to have your bridge implant camouflaged after Rhinoplasty.
I see your concern. In our practice we have had success camouflaging the edges of nasal implants with Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results. In many cases this may preclude further surgery. There are no reported cases of nasal necrosis following microdroplet silicone nasal injections. In our experience, we have not seen infection after such treatments.
An in-person examination would be necessary to determine the suitability of silicone nasal injections for you.
I do not advocate gel fillers for nasal injection after rhinoplasty for the reasons you stated.
Hope this helps you.

Re: I Challenge Home
Since my post got deleted for nothing, let me put my opinion on this thread.

to get rid of the Pervs, Hackers, IP Sniffers, etc.
The bad members of Home who have made it increasingly less fun to be on Home.
Like the Mass Molester at Hudson who is a foul troglodyte, who yells at women, chases them, scares them into leaving Hudson whenever he appears. Who spews and sprays his contempt for Women and Gays daily. The Father of a gang of pervs, foul mouths, IP Sniffers, disgraced homelings, and other assorted delusional abusers, who love to force good members from a Server.
To not bear all this abuse, you have to use Ignore, and turn off all LMO's. Never say a word, so the IP Sniffer can't poof ya.
Live with the spectre of him saying " we will find out where you live " , " are you scared yet ", " We know your IP ".
Gets a little scary, sure, especially when you hear him tell a woman " you're dead, stupid and retarded moron ".
How much of a Challenge will it be ? IDK, seems like Mission Impossible, when you consider that this guy has been using two accounts to 4ever massacre the TOS daily for many months now, with impunity.
Well, in the meantime, I spend much less time on Home; and no money.
If I owned Home and Hell, I'd rent out Home, and live in Hell.
This, You have good ideas. Your challenge is impossible though. Basically, we evolve around Home drama. It's our nature to react instead of ignoring them. I find it hard to do sometimes as well. Even if we all followed this, there will be those people still there to bother you. I hate to say this but.....I gotta say this, if you ever run into a rude user, just repot (not just report but repot ) them for a reasonable reason.
I'm not trying to shoot down any of parts of this thread, I'm just trying to

Project 921-2
Chinese Station
Chinese space station - model at the Chinese Pavilion, Hannover Expo 2000.The model indicates a modest station consisting of 2.2 m diameter modules, stretched versions of the orbital module of the Shenzhou.
Credit: © Mark Wade
Status: Study 2007. Gross mass: 8,000 kg (17,600 lb). Height: 9.00 m (29.50 ft). Diameter: 2.25 m (7.38 ft). Span: 17.00 m (55.00 ft).
As of 2007 it was announced that Shenzhou 8 and 9 would be of this configuration, equipped with two docking ports. and launched in 2010. They would then be followed by the manned Shenzhou 10, which would presumably operate the station for a brief period. Then there would be another multi-year delay, with another small man-tended space station being launched in 2012. The station would probably consist of versions of the Shenzhou service and orbital modules modified for the specific mission. The 20-metric ton space laboratory seems to have been delayed to 2015 or beyond.
China began preliminary work on advanced manned spaceflight in July 1985. The decision came against a background of vigorous international space activity. The United States had its Strategic Defense Initiative and Space Station Freedom. The Soviet Union had its Buran shuttle system, Mir and Mir-2 space stations, and its own star wars program. Europe was developing the Hermes manned spaceplane, and Japan the Hope winged spacecraft. Even India and China were taking on ambitious space projects. It seemed China would have to take action to remain a world power.
Ren Xin Min, the leading Chinese rocketry expert of the time, believed that China should make a space station its national goal. This would develop all aspects of space technology, including modern launch vehicle capabilities. In early spring 1986, members of a standing committee of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Wang Da Hang, Wang Ganchang, Yang Jiachi, Chen Fangyun) proposed a family of seven Project 863 plans to accelerate Chinese technical development. These numbered plans covered biology, astronautics, information technology, military technology, automation, energy, and materials science. Astronautics plan 863-2 included section 863-204 space transportation system, which would service the 863-205 space station. It was estimated that two years would be needed for concept studies.
Work began immediately on defining the 863-204 shuttle spacecraft. The final 863-204 Expert Commission report in July 1989 advocated building a manned capsule, with a first flight date of 2000. This would satisfy the leadership's desire for an early Chinese manned space capability, and establish the essential earthly infrastructure and spacecraft subsystems technology for more advanced systems. However in parallel development of technology for a two-stage-two-orbit horizontal takeoff and landing reusable space shuttle would be pursued, with a first flight date of 2015.
The report failed to impress the government. Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping rejected both plans, saying that neither could be flying in his lifetime. The Chinese space establishment went back to the drawing board. However within three years the plan for a manned capsule would be resurrected as Project 921, which would make its first manned flight in 2003 as the Shenzhou spacecraft. On 1 August 1992 Li Peng attended the final meeting of the Project 921 board and where the following program plan was presented:
The final plan was approved on 21 September 1992, and Project 921 to create a Chinese manned space capability began in earnest. $ 2.3 billion was spent in 1992-2003 creating the Shenzhou manned spacecraft and the infrastructure to support it.
Authorization to proceed with the space station finally came in February 1999, with the first design review in May. This involved design of both the 8-metric ton and 20-metric ton versions of the station. A vacuum chamber with a diameter of 7 meters and a height of 12 meters had already been built to test the station.
The first model of the planned space station were shown at Expo 2000 at Hannover. This was made up of modules that appeared to be stretched versions of the orbital module of the Shenzhou spacecraft. The model showed a station consisting of:
In February 2001 it was decided to proceed with development of a next generation of modern Chinese launch vehicles. These were to begin flying in 2008, and would be used for launch of the larger 20 metric ton station modules of up to 5 m diameter.
In June 2001 it was revealed publicly that China would implement its Project 921 space program in three phases. Wang Yongzhi, the chief manned spaceflight engineer and designer, told a conference held in Beijing that the first phase would be consist of the Shenzhou - launch of single manned spacecraft over a series of unmanned and manned flights, demonstrating flight of Chinese astronauts in near-Earth orbit and their safe return to earth. In orbit the astronauts would conduct earth observations and space experiments. In the second phase spacewalks, rendezvous and docking tests would be conducted. A space laboratory would be orbited, but only man-tended on a short-term basis and left in an automated mode between visits. The third phase would involve the launch of a larger space laboratory. This would be permanently manned and be China's first true space station.
In March 2002 it was announced that the permanent space station would have a launch mass of 20 metric tons, and be launched by the next generation rocket series. Later that year it was indicated that the launch of this 20 metric ton station would come no earlier than 2010, and possibly as much as 15 years later!
In December 2002 it was revealed that work had been underway on a robot arm for use on the station. A 20% scale model represented the fifth generation of prototypes of such arms built by Research Institute 502, the Beijing Institute of Control Engineering.
Thereafter, mention of the space station virtually disappeared from Chinese public statements. In February 2004 it was announced that the first (presumably 8 metric ton) space station would be launched only after Shenzhou 6, 7, and 8 had proven the basic spacecraft's rendezvous and docking capabilities. In 2007 the latest plan indicated that Shenzhou 8 and 9 would be launched in 2010 with the 8-tonne laboratory configuration, followed by another launch in 2012.

Fish Farms: One Solution to the Jobs Crisis
Two things the world is in desperate need of today: fish and jobs.
So why not, suggest some aquaculturists and new-economy visionaries, twin the two needs for one good result, i.e. encouraging fish farms that will help grow jobs too?
There are admittedly some real concerns, both environmental and healthwise, about fish farming as it's typically done around the world: Steroids, antibiotics and other growth-inducing chemicals mix into the natural ebb and flow of bays and other bodies of water; "bio-engineered" fish escape into the wild, where they mate with wild fish and forever alter species; the farms can pollute air and water, which is standard for most "farming" operations.
But if those concerns can be improved upon, there is a great logic to encouraging more fish farms as a way to create jobs.
In Bermuda, for example, it's not the fishing or food industry that has launched a program to encourage more fish farming in its blue waters but the Department of Environmental Protection, which is looking for investors to help what it is calling its "Blue Ocean Economy" program. As well as searching for investment in ocean-floor mining and wave-energy programs, the Bermudan government is actively seeking aquaculturists. As the numbers of wild fish in the sea continues to plummet, its argument is that growing fish—from catfish to salmon—benefits everyone.
The immediate concern of course is that no one wants to encourage turning what are today pristine waters into the waterborne equivalents of chicken factories, so caution must accompany any such investment.
In Kenya, its National Aquaculture Research Development Training Centre is making the argument that growing fish also helps ensure a country's "food security." At its Sagana-based headquarters it has already trained 1,000 fish farmers. Dr. Harrison Charo-Karisa and Dr. Jonathan Munguti, global experts in the genetics and breeding of fish, who have already trained farmers in Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda, lead the effort. Health education is mixed into their instruction as well, as they attempt to teach the mostly agrarian East Africans that fish can be healthier than a diet of red meat. Of course, even the best of fish farms need a steady supply of water and lengthy droughts are always a risk across the continent; currently more than 12 million are in desperate need of drinking water across the region.
Farm-Africa, is an example of an NGO taking part in Kenya's "aquashop project," a two-year, $600,000 program that supplies commercial and small-scale fish farmers with the essentials for farming, technical advice, training and links to markets.
Closer to home, in New Orleans, the Recirculating Farms Coalition recently launched a national campaign to promote growing local, fresh food as a way to simultaneously grow green jobs. Its argument is that with one out of six people struggling to buy food—most of them unemployed—providing good, fresh, local food is a priority, as are creating stable jobs. Its sights are set on eco-friendly farms that grow fish (aquaculture) or a combination of plants and fish (aquaponics).
Its "recirculating farm" model sets a high standard, of course, in that it requires farming operations that they run without antibiotics or other drugs and chemicals and are designed to re-use up to 99 percent of their water and wastewater. The Coalition's executive director, Marianne Cufone, says she's seen such farms be successful ranging in size from "desktop" to "ones covering acres and acres."
..with one out of six people struggling to buy food—most of them unemployed—providing good, fresh, local food is a priority, as are creating stable jobs.
For the moment, "recirculation" is going through a defining process; some regard them as experimental labs, thus subject to a higher standard of permitting, while others see them as typical agriculture. The coalition needs to convince Congress that recirculating farms are economically better, safer environmentally and healthier than ocean-based fish farming.
For the U.S. government's part, NOAA has weighed in with its own "implications and considerations" study. Its 264-page report on the effects of a growing aquaculture industry, created by the NOAA Aquaculture Program, suggests that since fish farming is going to grow worldwide no matter what the U.S. does, it's better to be involved than not. While admitting that farming fish will at least initially compete with existing fishermen's market, if demand for fish continues to grow as it has been in recent decades, there should be room for both. From a job perspective, the report sees aquaculture as win-win, and includes new opportunities in both onshore and offshore operations, including maintenance, delivery and administrative jobs.
But it's a fact that not all politicians, or consumers, are quite ready for bio-engineered fish, no matter how many jobs they might create. In Alaska the creators of a biotech salmon—which allegedly grows twice as fast as a regular salmon—have been stalled by a Congress concerned with anything bearing the description "genetically-enhanced." The company, AquaBounty, argues that while the FDA has previously called biotech salmon "safe to eat," the opinion of prominent local politician Senator Lisa Murkowski is still widespread. The idea, says Murkowski, gives her the "heebie jeebies." She is leading the effort to get the FDA to ban the "frankenfish."
AquaBounty argues that since its fish are grown in tanks inland, they are not risking polluting fresh waters or corrupting local species.
Of course Murkowski's argument has a political bent, since many of her constituents fish for wild salmon and would rather not have any competition. In that regard the future of aquaculture, with its inherent risks understood, is a classic example of old economy versus new economy thinking. To create jobs in a stagnant economy it requires thinking outside the traditional.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Robert Klee, commissioner of the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, responded to the findings of the National Climate Assessment by highlighting actions the state is taking to adapt and limit climate change and calling for additional steps.
"It's clear from the National Climate Assessment that we must strengthen our efforts to reduce the volume of harmful carbon emissions into the atmosphere while putting strategies in place to adapt to changes we are going to see as a result of existing levels," Malloy said in a news release. "In Connecticut, we are taking actions to limit carbon emissions which serve as a model for the nation. We are a charter member of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a multi-state program that has reduced carbon emissions from plants that generate electricity by 40 percent since 2005. Our Comprehensive Energy Strategy will also drive down emissions, with its emphasis on energy efficiency, renewable power, and the use of alternative vehicles in the transportation sector."
Malloy and Klee noted the assessment's main findings that climate change is happening across the country, affecting people and natural resources, and has been primarily caused by human activities including the burning of fossil fuels.
Malloy said the state's climate adaptation projects include adoption of the Climate Preparedness Plan, assistance for shoreline property owners and environmentally sound protection of the shoreline. It has also launched the Connecticut Institute for Resiliency and Climate Adaptation at the University of Connecticut's Avery Point campus in Groton.
"CIRCA will develop strategies and programs to help Connecticut's residents and communities reduce the loss of life, property and natural resources from future high-impact weather events as well as from sea level rise and flooding," Malloy said.
Klee said climate change "is not a distant or future phenomena."
"It is happening right here in Connecticut right now," he said. "In Long Island Sound, water levels are rising, water temperatures are increasing, and we are seeing a decline in cold water fish species and a marked increase in warm water species."
Klee said the Climate Preparedness Plan shows that across the state 75 species characterized as at-risk or endangered will experience large population declines due to projected changes in climate.
"Ten invasive or potentially invasive species were identified as likely to experience a significant increase in abundance here due to climate," he said. "These unwelcome invasives - including Asian clams, mile-a-minute vine, and new species of mosquitoes that can spread diseases - will put new stresses on our environment and public health."
Klee said changing temperatures and weather conditions will also impact our agriculture products, plant life, and the variety of trees in Connecticut's forests, "threatening, for instance, to drive sugar maple trees out of our state."

India receives P-8I maritime patrol aircraft
India has taken on-site delivery of its first P-8I maritime patrol aircraft in Seattle following the completion of assembly by Boeing. This is the first of eight aircraft Boeing will deliver for the Indian Navy under a contract signed in 2009.
According to Boeing, India will receive this aircraft and two more of its eight contracted P-8Is in 2013. The programme is progressing on schedule as Boeing assembles the fourth and fifth P-8Is.
The P-8I is a long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft capable of broad-area, maritime and littoral operations. The P-8I is a variant of the P-8A Poseidon that Boeing is developing for the US Navy.
The Indian Navy is the first international customer for the P-8. Deliveries are scheduled to be complete by 2015.

Video: Obama on judges who "only believe in the strict letter of the Constitution"
posted at 8:12 pm on October 30, 2008 by Allahpundit
Nothing really exciting here — every liberal in America believes in judge-crafted unenumerated rights (unless it's a conservative judge finding a right to freedom of contract) — but with the "redistribution of wealth" audio zeroing in on Obama's feelings about activism and the Warren Court, the RNC's sending it around. You'll find him here once again paying tribute to the D.C. Second Amendment ruling, which must be his most shameless flip-flop of the entire campaign. I'm more interested, though, in the example he chooses to illustrate the right of privacy: "The right to marry who you please." The One supports civil unions but opposes gay marriage, and predictably has gotten little grief about it from the nutroots stalwarts on his side who loathe Palin for opposing it too. Williams could have pinned him by asking why the right to marry "who you please" should carry some sort of implicit gender distinction in his mind, and whether the arbitrariness of his answer isn't the whole problem with letting unelected judges weave unwritten rights. What might have been.
Update: The follow-up question that wasn't: "If a Supreme Court candidate believed in a federal constitutional right to gay marriage, would that disqualify them in your eyes?" No good answer for The One to that one, given the constituencies he's trying to straddle.

A President Obama would be pushing amendments, if not a constitutional convention, ASAP to get those "positive rights" enshrined. Something like, "The right of the people not to get shot at shall not be infringed," and the 2nd Amendment would hang in the balance.

Much of your success in the beef business hinges on the genetics of your cow herd, or — if you're a stocker operator or a cattle feeder — your ability to buy and manage someone else's genetics.
Indeed, given the multiple challenges you face that are beyond your control — drought, rising feed and fuel costs, escalating land values — genetic selection may be the single most important component of your operation that you control. That's why a couple of messages contained in the October issue of Drovers/CattleNetwork are so important. Both messengers want you as a customer while our industry begins rebuilding from this year's devastating drought.
The messengers are two of America's most respected breed organizations, the American Angus Association and the American Hereford Association. Together these two breeds provide a genetic influence on the majority of commercial herds. Both breeds have a rich tradition and a long list of prominent breeders to their credit. Both breeds also have successful branded-beef programs that carry their name.
But their advertising messages this fall are vastly different. One is more traditional, the other more bold and, most assuredly, controversial.
Let's begin with the more traditional message, brought to you by the American Hereford Association. An advertising insert attached to page 11 of this issue makes the case for using Hereford genetics in your herd. For instance, research at various universities has documented the outstanding qualities of Hereford females, calving ease, docility and the breed's feed efficiency. Hereford is America's second-largest breed registry, with 70,260 registrations, 37,091 transfers and 101,021 cows in the breed's inventory.
The new, bold message — that prompts this column — comes from the American Angus Association. By all accounts, Angus has become a dominant force in the American cattle industry and is currently the nation's largest registry with 294,975 animals registered in 2011. Surveys suggest about 70 percent of the nation's cow herd now carries at least some Angus genetic influence. And, right or wrong, black-hided calves often bring a premium at auction.
The Angus message — found on pages 18 and 19 of this issue — goes beyond touting the breed's qualities and characteristics. Indeed, the starting point for the advertisement assumes that you already know a lot about the quality of Angus genetics that provide benefits to both producers and consumers. That's why the Angus Association is asking commercial cowmen to go all Angus. In other words, Angus is asking you to forego the use of crossbreeding.
That, no doubt, will be a controversial subject of debate and discussion in the months and maybe years ahead. After all, for decades cattlemen have been told of the advantages of crossbreeding. Extension publications suggest, "crossbreeding can increase the performance of any herd with little to no additional costs to the producer." In short, crossbreeding was often referred to as the "free lunch" in the cattle business.
Now, Angus is proposing that with its genetic infusion in your herd the free lunch is already included.
That proposal to America's commercial breeders is likely to anger a lot of purebred breeders of Hereford, Charolais, Red Angus, Gelbvieh, Limousin, Simmental, Shorthorn, Brangus and all other breeds.
The argument here is not for crossbreeding or straightbreeding — I'll leave such a debate to those much more qualified.
However, the folks at the American Angus Association have just accepted a huge challenge and responsibility. The challenge is for the breed's staff and breeders to live up to the proposition they are offering the commercial cattle industry. And the responsibility they are undertaking cannot be overstated: At a time when beef production is set to decline and retail prices are likely to increase substantially, Angus and everyone else must work to ensure satisfactory eating experiences are achieved with a high degree of probability.
The track record of Angus cattle and the American Angus Association suggests they are up to such a challenge.
But a challenge also lies before all other breeds, their staffs and breeders. The Angus Association is clearly coming after your market share. Are you prepared to answer that challenge?
As American ranchers begin to recover from the monster drought of 2012, they'll rebuild and restock their herds. They'll make genetic decisions that will have an impact for years on their ranch's profitability and on consumer satisfaction.
Some of them will crossbreed. Some of them will straightbreed. But the responsibility for quality and safety belongs to us all.

Hello, from Liz & Lestrade
Hi everyone!
I am so excited to be here on the German Shepherd forums. Lestrade, my 7 month old German Shepherd/Malamute puppy, is my first GSD. My first puppy to be honest.
I really hope to get involved here on the forums and get to know a whole lot of you. Say hi to Lestrade!
Sleepy Puppy
I took Lestrade to the local park and she found where the sludge is. It smells like fish, death, and is disgustingly messy. This is her being proud of her tromp through it. She got a looooong bath that night.
Making friends with Bandit, the cat.
Welcome! :D
Adorable puppy, and I LOVE the name. :wub:
awww so cute... ^_^
A warm welcome to you and your puppy!
Looking forward to watching Lesterade grow and you telling us about your adventures with her!
Good thing she's gentle with the cat!
What a cutie! ;)

Apple has not taken a stand on VOIP. Sure, they let Skype run on their desktop platform, but a long term strategy hasn't been announced. What will they do about this must-have technology?
A few possible scenarios exist:
- Apple could be building its own VOIP network and planning to integrate it into iChat both on the desktop and on the iPhone. Hopefully, they use the open SIP platform that allows it to communicate with many of the other phone systems in the world. Perhaps it partners with Cisco on this - part of the "iPhone" naming deal.
- Apple could be partnering with Google and using its GoogleTalk/Jabber platform (which already is integrated into iChat) and plan integration across its line of products. Google is likely looking to expand its Google Talk service so users can receive incoming calls. This, in turn, could be connected with other Google account services like email, calendar, contact list, etc.
- Same thing as Google above but instead with Yahoo!.
- Apple opens up iPod/iPhone to third-party applications in February. Vonage, Skype, Fring. SIP, etc. jump on board.
- Apple buys Skype from Ebay and turns it into a defacto communications platform. While it has the legacy phone number/SMS system, it also includes chatting and claims over 100 million users today. Skype is undervalued and not being utilized properly by Ebay. Apple has $15 billion in the bank. Oh and *cough* 700Mhz Spectrum is also for sale. *cough*
- Apple does nothing. Waits for traditional phones and phone numbers to die and instant messaging to take over in a few years. In the meantime, it takes a few dollars out of your mobile bill and puts that $15 billion and change in pork bellies and frozen concentrated orange juice.
Will we see a VOIP announcement at Macworld? Just FYI, the 700MHZ Spectrum auction hits on Jan 17th, the 3rd day of Macworld.

Widgets are an important part of major websites these days. They allow users to add content to their blogs & websites easily; they also provide a benefit to the brand themselves by increasing incoming links (useful for SEO) and increasing their presence online.
Widgets also provide publishers with a vehicle for marketing their content, which is useful as traditional forms of marketing a beginning to show signs of age. In recent times, web users have become accustomed to using widgets, so it is a good idea to have at least a few of these available wherever possible.

Social Media Integration
Social Media Integration Social networking is the hottest thing on the web today. Providing users with a 2 way communication platform where information can be fed to them directly, rather than "screamed at" in the 1 way platform that traditional internet marketing provided us.
Services like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are attracting massive numbers of very active users. Websites are realising the huge potential to market themselves on this free platform and are demanding that developers integrate their sites with popular social media services.
iPhone Applications
As the iPhone grows in popularity, there is an increasing demand for "killer" iPhone apps from customers. These applications are designed for use the Multi-Touch technology the iPhone provides its users.
A popular application can go "viral" very quickly resulting in large numbers of downloads, increase brand reputation and even sales. Apple recently announced that over one billion have now been downloaded from the APP store, merely proving the importance of iPhone application development.

API Development
Interconnectivity is an extremely important component of successful applications. Web developers with skills in creating effective application programming interfaces (APIs) will be in high demand. The new web environment demands the ability to allow users to integrate all their services and to retrieve data from feeds using API's. A great example of an "app" that uses Twitters API is Tweetdeck, which also uses Adobe AIR as its framework.
Customised Application Knowledge
A web developer in today's market will be able to design applications according to a client's specification, not to the developers. Many customers have specific requirements they are seeking that are not available in packaged applications. A top custom software developer should be familiar with all aspects of developing applications from scratch on any platform whether it be an OS based or internet based application.
Custom CMS
CMS DevelopmentContent Management Systems (CMS) like Durpal, Joomla and even WordPress are very popular for both business and personal websites. These services usually offer a selection of theme templates that users can choose for their blog or website. However, many clients will want to create their own brand and image.

Yes, that word again, search engine optimisation is something all customers want but necessarily don't quite understand. SEO is essentially optimising a website to receive as much organic traffic as possible, done through various processes, it is a popular and critical part of internet marketing. A good web developer will have extensive knowledge of how to build search engine friendly websites and CMS systems. Flash developers should also have information on how to accurately insert textual content into the HTML of website. Developers should also take into consideration the SEO benefit when developing widgets and applications for websites, as this "added value" can be used as ammunition when pitching for future development work.

Mobile Web Development
The popularity of mobile devices will mean a demand for new applications in the future. Developers must design websites that are easily viewable and useable on a range of mobile devices, from smart phones to non-JavaScript WAP phones.

Languages and Frameworks
Framework knowledge is vital as they enable developers create custom applications much faster by providing a structured method of developing apps. Many companies will be looking for developers with extensive and creative knowledge. Frameworks that are increasing in use are Ruby on Rails, PHP, .NET and Django, a great developer in post 2009 will able to use a mainstream framework, such as .NET MVC to perform the desired tasks of the client.
Design Skills
Developers with superior design skills are always in high demand. The ability to create applications is important, but employers may also want something more, they want applications that engage users, tempting them to share or discuss the application further online, creating a buzz! One of the easiest ways of engaging a user is through impressive design. Flash has always been a very user-friendly tool, but now Flash is moving forward, with introduction of Flex and Adobe AIR the sky is the limit when it comes to creating user-friendly and data heavy applications. Websites like Webcreme show only the very latest and greatest web designs as and when they are released, it's a great place to get inspiration!
Top developers will need to gain proficiency in the above skills to compete in today's market. The ability to develop custom software and applications is particularly important in standing out above the rest of the crowd.

(Cross posted at The Hand Mirror)
I have read a couple of pieces recently, written by women who have made the abortion decision, one in the Adelaide Mail, with a follow-up blog post, and one by Stef, the Ex-expat , cross-posted at The Hand Mirror. Neither of the women had the abortion light-heartedly, both of them took responsible decisions, and both of them say something very interesting about shame.
Audrey and the Bad Apples says:
It makes me incredibly sad that the point of my article has been proven – that women won't speak out without guilt or remorse over something like abortion because the reactions she can expect to get are ones of hate, ignorance, judgmental assumptions and sanctimonious bullshit. I'm especially offended by the suggestions of some that I am 'bragging' in the column; that I'm boasting about what I've done, that I'm flippant, that I'm 'wearing the abortions like a badge of honour' – when what I'm ultimately doing is refusing to wear them as a badge of shame.
And Stef says:
I feel the need to write about abortion from a slightly different perspective, someone who has had one. I do so not because I am proud of having one nor because I want to encourage others to follow my decision but because I refuse to be ashamed when I admit that I have had one
Don't read the comments thread on Audrey's Adelaide Mail piece – it's pretty vile, but there is some amazing support for her decision. There are no negative comments on Stef's thread, possibly because some of us leapt in straight away with support, possibly because what she wrote was just so damn sensible.
So perhaps the determination of these women not to feel pressured into feeling ashamed, not to buy into some self-disapproval reflecting what they took to be society's disapproval, was not really necessary, given all the support they got.
That would be the positive way to look at it, to think that society really doesn't condemn abortion any more, but I think it's not just positive, it could even be seen as positively pollyanna-ish. Aside from the anti-abortion crowd, even people who say that they support a woman's right to choose often tag it with saying that abortion should be "legal, safe and rare", a tag that I think is inherently contradictory. And that exposes those who use the phrase as not really accepting abortion, as being deeply ambivalent about it. Sure, women should be able to access abortion, but really, they shouldn't use it at all. The unspoken justification is that abortion is wrong, that it shouldn't happen, but they will accept it as an evil necessity.
I also suspect that people who use the phrase haven't given thought to what making something legal, safe and rare actually entails. When it comes to minimising abortion, then we need easy access to effective contraceptives, and good education about contraceptives. Abstinence won't work; the genie of sexual freedom is long out of the bottle, and it won't be going back. In any case, who really wants to return to the repressed and repressive world on the 1950s?
Even then, contraceptives do fail. So we need easy, reliable access to the emergency contraceptive pill. But that's not failsafe – I have friends who ended up pregnant despite using both condoms and the ECP. They had twins.
My friends were lucky – they were in a position to continue the pregnancy. But many women aren't. If the "legal safe and rare" crowd really want to make abortion rare, then they need to ensure that women are not penalised for continuing the pregnancy. And that will entail ensuring that mothers have adequate financial support, that young children can be well fed, clothed, housed and educated. A woman faced with an unexpected pregnancy should not need to engage in feverish calculation about whether or not she can actually support a child, if people really want abortion to be rare. Alternatively, mothers need access to high quality child care, and flexible work, so that they can continue to work, and support their children themselves. Even then, they would need to have social supports available too, so that they can get a break from the demands of parenting and working, and juggling, juggling, juggling all the time.
"Legal safe and rare" entails a huge cost, and a significant re-organisation of the way society works. I suspect that many of the "legal safe and rare" crowd don't want to pay that cost. Instead, the tag is, I think, a quiet dogwhistle. Those who oppose abortion can at least feel that the utterer really does oppose abortion too, but accepts it as an evil necessity, while those who support abortion can feel that at least they will not be on the barricades again, defending a woman's right to choose. And those who are ambivalent can hear their ambivalence reflected right back at them.
None of what I have written deals with the morality of abortion. It's just about the way that we regard abortion. The morality of abortion is a different matter, and it's an issue that has been well rehearsed, over and over again. I don't propose to go there now. Maybe another day, maybe not, depending on what is happening in the countries where I live, maybe nothing until next year's blog for choice day. If you do want to argue the toss on it, have the decency to read some of the considerable philosophical literature on it first – start with Peter Singer's Practical Ethics, and then try Rosalind Hursthouse's Beginning Lives.

Saturday March 8th, 2014 8:45pm
Kennesaw, Ga. — Bouncing back from straight losses to Maryland and Virginia, Syracuse did all the right things Saturday to continue its mastery of St. John's.
Syracuse came to this showcase game in suburban Atlanta with a lot of confidence, having defeated the Red Storm in all seven of their prior meetings and outscoring their opponent 119-50.
Ranked ninth this week in the Warrior Media poll, the Orange unleashed a smothering defense, causing 13 turnovers in their 14-8 win. Goalie Dominic Lamolinara — who had a solid game with 12 saves — credited his team with keeping long poles in the Red Storm's passing lanes.
"We call it the forest," he said. "You can't pass through the forest. We have got branches everywhere."
Syracuse also ran a dynamic offense with five separate Orangemen scoring. Attackmen Kevin Rice and Derek Maltz each netted four. Fellow attackman Dylan Donahue found the back of the net three times. And two Syracuse midfielders — Nicky Galasso and Billy Ward — combined for three goals.
"After the game our first middies had last week against Virginia, we knew they were going to probably leave the attack a little bit open today and I thought we did a good job taking advantage of that," Rice said.
St. John's won the face-off battle, 15-10. And the Red Storm took more shots, 40-35. St. John's attackman Colin Keegan was responsible for one of the game's highlights, scoring behind the back on a point-blank shot in the third quarter. But St. John's had trouble converting on man-up, scoring on only one of six opportunities.
"Not sure it was our best offensive day," St. John's coach Jason Miller said. "Not sure it was our best shooting day. But I give them a lot of credit. They came out and played a better lacrosse game than we did today."
The Cobb County Classic match took place before 5,703 fans at Fifth Third Bank Stadium on Kennesaw State University's campus in suburban Atlanta. This is the same location where Major League Lacrosse will hold its championship match on Aug. 23. Former Syracuse All-American Liam Bank's LB3 group organized Saturday's event.
Lacrosse is "growing like crazy" in Georgia, Syracuse Coach John Desko said. "Liam Banks has been a real Johnny Appleseed in this area," he said. "We are hoping that by coming down here we can keep the growth going."
This year, 84 Georgia high schools field boy's lacrosse teams, up from just one at the Darlington School in 1990, according to the Georgia Lacrosse Officials Association. KSU has a NCAA Division I women's team, which fell to Davidson 22-4 in an earlier match Saturday. Mercer University in Macon has an NCAA Division I men's program under the leadership of coach Kyle Hannan, formerly of Goucher College. And one of the three veteran officials calling Saturday's Syracuse-St. John's game – Jon Ochsner – lives in Atlanta.
Fueled by growing youth feeder programs, Georgia high schools are sending recruits to top-ranked college programs. Among those watching from the sidelines Saturday was Zach Levy, who has committed to play for Army's Black Knights, and Nathan Solomon, who has committed to Syracuse. Both juniors play for Centennial High School in Roswell, Ga., just a short drive from the Saturday's game.
"This is a big step for Georgia lacrosse," Levy said of Saturday's event. "It's really bringing lacrosse into the spotlight down here."
Next up for the Orange: Johns Hopkins on March 15 in a game to be televised on ESPNU. Desko is looking forward to full-field practice following scheduling conflicts at the Carrier Dome, plunging temperatures and heavy snow.
"After 'Monster Truck' this weekend, we are going to have the Dome all week, so we will be on 110 yards," Desko said. "The Hopkins-Syracuse game is always a big game for each team and for the fans." St. John's will host the Georgetown Hoyas the same day.
"We are having just a hard time putting it all together right now," Miller said. "We will go back to work and try to get better and get ready for Georgetown on Saturday."

I snapped this photo last weekend outside a house and land development on the Gold Coast – it's 2013 and this is the best that this agent can come up with?
They've got to be kidding!
Do they really think that in the age of iPads, Million Dollar Giveaways, Big Festivals and Expos, that a lame burger sizzle is going to attract prospective real estate buyers to this weekend offer!!!
Unfortunately this lack of marketing savvy is right across the real estate industry, as 90% of agents don't have any marketing skills at all. They tell you that they "market homes" – but ask anyone of them for evidence of the marketing qualifications and you'll hear the crickets in the background!
Next time you're choosing a real estate agent to sell your home, ask them that very question – "Show me your marketing qualifications."
Pretty fair question when these days most of them insist upon you giving them thousands of dollars for advertising.
For the record, I drove into this estate in the middle of the day to see how many people had rushed in there for the free burger – and surprise, surprise – all I saw were tumbleweeds on the street.
I know I am biased because I preach "wow factor marketing," but this really is kid's stuff – and they are advertising it on Gold Coast radio would you believe!
Real Estate Agents continue to promote themselves as marketing experts, yet they show photographs of empty homes without any images of their target audience.
The first rule for any advertisement is to show images of your target audience in order to increase the magnetism of your message.
If a burger sizzle and a slippery dip is the best that this agent can do, I'm glad he's not marketing my home!

Where I stayed
Ali's nest
Early early start to be up for Lauren's return, and what does she get to come back to? Well a tiny room with one double bed, shared toilets and showers, ow and this is going to cost you 10pounds!
Big hugs and hello the second she walked through the door and straight back to talking and waking the hole house up but never mind.
Lauren slept for a lot of the morning, me and Phil sat trying to book our flight to Indonesia, we had wanted to do it all overland/sea but this bit seemed like to much hard work, we would have had to go from Singapore to Batam Island on one day and then hoped that the boat going from there to Indonesia still had availablity, if not it would have been four days stuck there, and it would have cost a bit more than a flight and taken two-three days.
What a palarva booking the flights ended up being, none of the sites seem to work, ended up booking on one site in the end just before we went out, cost us more but still cheaper than trying to do it overland.
Walked to the mrt got all tickets, all squashed in and got off at habour station, knew it would be pretty expensive on sentosa island just like everything in Singapore so had a McDonald's which is probably the cheapest food that fills you up in the area, then headed over to get the cable car, got the tickets which were 26 Singapore dollars, then made our way up in the lift, the cable cars all looks so shiny and new, waited a while and then got in our car, the view was amazing we could see all of the city and shipping lanes, there was loads of new building works going on so recession obviously hasn't hit Singapore, the book was definitely right there really is no better way to reach the island, as long as your not scared of hights anyway, it was quick too.
Got to sentosa park basically the reason we came to Singapore, got to say the internet bigged it up quite a bit and made it sound slightly different to how it actually is, brought a ticket which gave us four options out of thirteen and saved a tiny bit of money but still the price is a joke for what you actually get in comparison to chesington or other amusment parks.
First activity we did was standing in a queue for ages, then getting on some plastic cars that look like a 5 year olds toy for the garden, the picture they use for advertising shows something more along the lines of go carting, the handle acts as a stearing wheel and a break which you pull back to go slower, and that's basically it you roll down a road in this stupid car thing then at the bottom you get a chair lift back to the top, pretty lame and a complete waste of money.
Next we walked to the extreme log ride, now I know what your thinking but no this is inside a movie theatre, six people in a little car that has six seats and basically moves to go with what goes on on the screan, the screan was in 3d so all had our stupid looking glasses on, it was like an animated rollercoaster, Phil at one point tried to look over the edge (it wasn't even on the screen yet) rather amusing me thinks he got into it a wee bit too much, it was surprisingly really good and I'm pretty sure people of all ages would love it, have to say for us having the cheaper normal ticket this is the best attraction that they have here, so don't expect much!
Now for number three, the pirates 4d again a theatre with seats like in cinema with a twist, so we sat in the chairs and didn't really know what to expect, it goes abit like this, if someone gets hit on the screen the chair feels like it gets hit (this hurts!), someone on screen gets stung the chair vibrates and air spikes you on the neck and legs (this hurts), someone on film gets pooed on by a bird water falls from the ceiling, there sailing in the sea and wind gets blown in your face, and that's about it have to say the 3d picture was pretty bad the program was pretty bad, and everthing the chair did kinda hurt! One good thing is we can say we have seen a 4d movie be it rubbish.
Last selection was the butterfly and insect area, which was good, we didn't see that many butterflys in the out door bit, the ones we did see were beautiful, (we saw a lot more butterflies that had died and been pinned to the boards in the musem area) the birds where brilliant, everywhere Phil and Lauren stood the birds thought it fun to swoop really close to there heads, gave them a bit of a shock, they ducked everytime, hilarious to watch!
The parrots were so colourful don't think I have ever seen one quite so close with no cage.
The bugs where just grose so many different types we have never seen before, they had just been fed when we where looking at them so got to watch a scorpion stuffing a moth in its mouth, yuck!
Phil got it into his head that we needed to go to the southern most part of continental Asia (sound familiar to anyone! he made us end up in a horrid place in India to achieve the same!) So after a bus, trolly thing, and walk we put our feet in the sea of Singapore, went over the bridge and to the view point, we where at the most southern part, (go on Phil tick it of the list of must do's!) The view was good but had seen it already in the cable car, the beach looked really nice but had a lot of black in the water, obviously has something to do with the worlds biggest shipping lane right there!?
It was a fun day and good to act like kids again but on the whole a waste of money with nothing that couldn't have been missed.
We went for a walk to get some food and then went to the shop while all of us with arms full stood in the queue, one guy tried to get past Lauren which got him a bit of a funny look, he asked ow are you in the queue? Lauren replied with well I'm not waiting for a bus, she did say it quietly so don't think the guy heard but had me and Phil in stitches.
They just don't seem to use common sense or look at a situation and act accordingly, always in a hurry and don't care who they tread on! Gotta love the Asian part of the world - you gotta laugh....

We walked around the west side of town and found an old mental institution. a cool old graveyard. the Sibelius monument and the president.s official residence... I think.
At the end of that was an island with a bunch of historical buildings an some very aggressive squirrels.
We met our next couchsurfing host Harri at thetrain station nearby his house.
When we got there he was just saying goodbye to some Hong Kong surfers. From there we went to the weekly meeting where I met Arto who invited me nd dad to a real Finnish sauna. Yay. Dad didnt want to go so I went and had a nice time eating strange Finnish food and listening to strange Finnish music. Arto even drove me all the way back to Harri.s place afterwards.

What To Do About Chronic Itchies
Sophie has been treated with Frontline and I use Buddy Wash for her baths. The fleas have diminished with the cooler weather but she's still an itchy mess at night. The Petco itch spray doesn't seem to help. Suggestions?

I changed my dogs' food (dry)and the itching stopped. Maybe your dog's skin is dry from bathing and spray?

Apple Cider Vinegar might just help, put it in a bottle and spray it all over your dog.

I would try switching to an organic spray/shampoo. Many of the commercial brands contain chemicals that can actually increase dryness and itchiness. I personally love PETfection Deodorizer/Allergy Spray. It is 100% Organic, Non Toxic, and is amazing at helping with itchy spots/dry skin/bumps/etc. I use it for everything! You can spray it all over her body and any area that is red or irritated from scratching or is dry and flaky. I find it to work really well! Their shampoo is amazing too. Both are offered in sample size if you want to try them out first before getting the big bottles. I hope this helps!
