Re: Getting Ready!
Re: Getting Ready!
Anyonr know anything abut Ohio foster care adoption subsidies?
Re: Getting Ready!
I know nothing about Ohio specifically. I'd ask your caseworker as they'd know better than most. Have you checked into how to get the special needs subsidy too? I know with our man, we can get it but it is a lot of paperwork. And in Alabama (I think everywhere) children adopted through foster care will keep their medicaid until they are around 18-19 years old.
Re: Getting Ready!
Re: Getting Ready!
I know that here I'll have to apply every year for the special needs subsidy. The doctors have to continue to say he needs it. I think it is the same everywhere. So find a GOOD doctor that you trust who will help with that for sure.
And for speech, I'm fairly certain (pretty positive actually) that medicaid pays for speech therapy if the child is shown at a very low function. They'll also pay for voiceboxes and stuff (we're praying to get one of those if Lil Buddy doesn't start talking soon). So be sure to get him evaluated with that in mind.

New York, NY (PressExposure) November 28, 2011 -- Executive chef Sandy Ingber has crowned the Sewansecott oyster from Virginia as "Oyster of the Month for December" at the historic Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York City.
Oyster aficionados can swim away from their customary Kumamotos and Blue Points to harvest the bountiful taste of the Sewansecott.
The Sewansecotts are "ultra flavorful, a perfect balance of sweet and salty, and deliciously chewy," says Ingber, the famed Bishop of Bivalves. "Just thinking about these makes me crave a dozen on the half shell."
"Our Sewansecott oysters have been described as 'seaside salts,'" says Heather T. Lusk of the H.M. Terry Co., Inc., which produces the oyster. "They are true ocean classics whose depth of flavor reflects the pristine waters in which they are grown. Upon chewing, their initial bold briny taste mellows into a sweet finish, making it hard to eat just one."
Priced at $2.15 per oyster, the Sewansecotts are just one of 30 oysters on the menu daily at the iconic eatery located "below sea level" in New York City's Grand Central Terminal. For reservations, lunch beginning at 11:30 AM, and dinner (last evening reservation at 9:30 PM), call 212-490-6650. The Grand Central Oyster Bar serves 4,000 oysters daily, from roasted to Rockefeller, on the half shell, and in pan roasts and stews.
To learn more about Sewansecott oysters and what people are saying about them, check out Sewansecott Clams & Oysters on Facebook and follow us @Sewansecott on Twitter.
About the Sewansecott (http://www.sewansecott.com): Henry Terry, the original H.M. Terry, came to the Eastern Shore in the late 1800's to grow seed oysters for an oyster company on Long Island. In 1903, he established his own oyster operation, and the Sewansecott brand was born. Four generations and over 108 years later the Terry family is still producing the quality seafood that made the original Sewansecott brand so popular... great salty taste, quality, & freshness guaranteed! Today, our oysters are hatchery produced and then grown to market size in the pristine Atlantic waters of Hog Island Bay, VA located within the 80 mile chain of undeveloped barrier islands of the Virginia Coast Reserve, an area that has been named as one of "The Last Great Places" by the United Nations and has been designated and protected as a United Nations Biosphere Reserve.
We strive to produce a quality, sustainable product that could be called organic if such a designation existed for seafood, but also tastes every bit as good as the story that goes with it. For over 106 years our products have been grown in harmony with nature in a grow out situation where we actually give back more than we take. Everything we do in the production of our products is nothing more than nature does on its own. No additives, no supplements, no chemicals - nothing but a natural process excelled in one of the most pristine environments in the world.

Yolanda Hadid Never Requested Spousal Support From David Foster, Despite Report
Yolanda Hadid never demanded that estranged husband David Foster pay her spousal support nor was he upset by the proceedings, despite inaccurate reports. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct these claims. We're told they're not true.
Hadid and Foster separated in December of last year after five years of marriage, and in January, the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. On Tuesday, it was revealed that the former couple reached a property settlement agreement in which she will receive a lump sum as per the terms of their prenup. However, Hadid will not be receiving spousal support, nor did she really ever seek it nor was Foster ticked off about giving her money.
According to an inaccurate E! story, Hadid supposedly "requested spousal support from Foster" at the time of her divorce filing. But Gossip Cop is told by a rep for Hadid that the reality star simply "never asked for spousal support." The ex-couple's prenup specifically stated she would be awarded a one-time payment instead.
We're further told Hadid "got everything she wanted" and "doesn't need" spousal support from Foster, who is also happy with their divorce agreement, which was actually settled months ago. And while it's true Foster had to file legal documents asking the judge to reject spousal support, the court papers were just a legality and not because Hadid had been seeking it.

UVF killing charges pulled 'over delays in supergrass case'
All charges have been withdrawn against two men accused of the murder of two Catholic workmen 21 years ago.
Prosecutors told Belfast Magistrates Court that criminal proceedings against Mark Campbell and James Smyth were to be ended on a without prejudice basis.
It means the pair remain subject to a future report and could yet go on trial for killing Gary Convie and Eamon Fox in the north of the city in May 1994.
Legal sources claimed the development was due to the delay in progressing a linked case against a so-called loyalist supergrass accused of more than 200 offences.
Mr Convie and Mr Fox were gunned down as they sat eating lunch in a car at a building site on North Queen Street.
Campbell (43), of Canning Place, Belfast, and Smyth (49), of Forthriver Link in the city, were also jointly charged with trying to murder Donal Laverty in the same attack and possessing a Sten submachine-gun and ammunition with intent to endanger life.
They were arrested and charged last year by detectives investigating a campaign of murder and serious crime by the UVF.
The case is connected to criminal proceedings against Gary Haggarty, an alleged UVF commander-turned assisting offender.
Haggarty (43) faces a record 212 charges, including five counts of murder, six attempted murders, 31 conspiracies to murder, four kidnappings, six false imprisonments and five hijackings.
Around 10,000 pages of evidence have been amassed against him - much of it believed to be based on his own police interviews.
In January 2010 he agreed to become an assisting offender under the terms of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act.
But efforts to have Haggarty returned for trial have been repeatedly put on hold as his legal team battles to gain full access to his interview material.
At previous hearings a lawyer for Campbell and Smyth claimed their case could be delayed by up to two years due to the reliance on evidence from the supergrass.

The 80 pages DC Universe Rebirth revealed a new plot to integrate all the characters that fans loved from the past, present and future of DC universe continuity, including the old Pre-52 and New 52's, establishing long-lost forgotten DC characters and how they brings them back on board. There are some scene from the page of comics that leave you for an awe and amusement. This is the best 5 moments in DC universe Rebirth comic, careful Spoilers:
1. Johnny Thunder
There are several characters that are forgotten and newly established in DC universe. With this Rebirth event DC want fans to remember the long-lost legacy of 80 years of DC comics. Some of that were the new Green Lantern, long-lost Ray Palmer disciple, long-lost love story as in Green Arrow and Black Canary, and many more. From all of those I choose Johnny Thunder to honor the long-lost legacy.
One of the long lost forgotten character, the old Johnny Thunder is back! Johnny Thunder, one of the DC characters that imbued with magic and has control over "Thunderbolt", a genie-magical-like being. Johnny Thunder started off way back in the early 40's while established himself as a member of Justice Society of America.
In the recent few decades, compete with the other DC characters, this character being turn on and off, back and forth from the DC continuity. In the DC Universe Rebirth comic, he shows up as an old man Johnny and nobody seems remembering him for being the JSA members or as superhero.
2. Baby Darkseid
Justice League had battled Darkseid over the event of Darkseid Wars and won. While Darkseid presumably dead, his daughter took some pieces of his father and went back to raise his baby-father. In the arms of his daughter, Darkseid waiting for revenge in the baby form.
3. Batman found Comedian Smiley Pin
While figuring out what is really happening in the DC universe after Wally's bursted out seeking help, Batman found something interesting yet iconic symbol!
4. Wally's Return
Long lost fan favorite, Wally West is returning to DC continuity! So there are couple of Wally West, same name and lineage, different person. The first Wally, red-haired one, was the first sidekick of the Flash, goes by the name of Kid Flash and later after Barry's death, becoming The Flash for a quite times until New 52 continuity came. The second Wally was established during the New 52 era. Both of them are speedsters.
Had been forgotten for this recent years, the first Wally wandering within the speed force, popping out in several places, looking for anyone who remembering him. He looking for his old teammates, his girlfriend, colleagues, and lastly his mentor, Barry Allen. Nobody seems remember about his existence after The Flashpoint event. Luckily, after saying farewell to Barry, Barry suddenly remembered and pulled Wally's hand. Welcome back Wally!
5. Dr. Manhattan!
The major cause of all changes in DC universe is none other than Dr. Manhattan! After the event at the Watchmen series, Dr. Manhattan is still trying to figure it out about his purpose in life. While doing so, he alter the universe and create New 52. It is still unclear the real motives and how he does it.
Using god-powered being like Dr. Manhattan is brilliant moves by DC. The tone to allude all the backgrounds seems plausible and matched the DC universe as a whole. While Watchmen is DC property, their universe is kept separated from the DC universe. It's insane they took a step to make this crossover!
What a crazy way to establish the plot!
6. Paying homage to DC TV and DC extended universe (films)
There are couple moments in the comic that made me goosebumps. The first one is when Wally appears in the Batcave. Remember when The Flash made his first appearance in the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice? I just feel that they made an homage to that scene!
Secondly, they put something related to DC TV shows writing. An homage to CW's Arrow series! "My name is Oliver Queen..." and ended with the words Wally's saying below.
It seems that DC want to push their limits to boost more audiences with this so called "Rebirth". With some of its property not doing so well as in New-52 comics, the divisive reviews of BvS, some of its TV series that lack of consistency (except for The Flash though), they need to rebuild their franchise, take a bold moves and they need someone like Geoff Johns to do something in an amazing way.
It is still unclear how the plot will go through, but from the intent of using Watchmen plot to mixed up with the DC universe, it seems promising.

Toyota Proace review: Family van scores well on quality and load capacity
Capable of carrying up to nine people, it goes up against popular rivals such as the Volkswagen Caravelle, looking to offer a comfortable and spacious vehicle with decent on-road handling.
Performance: 60%
Handling: 50%
Comfort: 60%
Space: 100%
Styling: 70%
Build: 60%
Value: 60%
Equipment: 70%
Economy: 80%
Depreciation: 50%
Insurance: 60%
It's based on the standard Proace panel van, which means that it'll offer all the practicality associated with a commercial vehicle, but with more creature comforts. We've tested the 'Family' model in the line-up, which comes with eight seats more suited to daily driving.
Of course, a large van is never going to be the most subtly styled of vehicles.
That said, the Proace Verso isn't all that bad looking, with chrome trim pieces lifting the front of the car. The large sliding side doors are electrically operated, which makes opening them a whole lot easier. The rear of the car is nicely designed too, though it's a tough job to disguise the Proace's sheer size.
Toyota still has an excellent reputation for reliability, which means many will be attracted to the Verso for its dependability. However, it does lack some brand image when compared with manufacturers such as Volkswagen.
It's not hard to work out that the Proace is going to be a practical car. With all three rows of seats up, there isn't much boot space however. Those rear seats are a little cramped though, and best suited for children.
We tested the Compact 'Family' specification car, which is the smallest in the range. As such, it comes with 282 litres of boot space with all of the seats up, while the 'Medium' and 'Long' variants get 627 and 977 litres respectively.
If you're willing to remove the third row, even the Compact will offer 1,242 litres of space - more than enough for any situation. A plus point is that if the Compact doesn't offer the room you require, then there are two more body styles to choose from.
For a family van based on a commercial vehicle, the Proace Verso drives surprisingly well. The seating position is high, as you'd expect, but the steering wheel is nicely adjustable, meaning that it isn't tricky to get comfortable.
The seat is simple to move and our test car featured luxury extras such as seat heating and massage. Though more than you'd expect from an MPV, they come as neat touches that help give the Verso a more premium feel.
Up and running, the experience is pretty decent. Powered by a 2.0-litre diesel producing just shy of 150bhp (in our test car), the Verso makes quick and easy progress. Its six-speed manual gearbox has a decent action to it, while the steering has a good feel.
Because of the Compact's smaller size, it's a van that is easily manoeuvrable while also offering an impressively small turning circle. This will suit those looking to use it around town and need a van that isn't tricky to get through smaller spaces. The ride is also good, with potholes and bumps in the road absorbed well. There's not a huge amount of wind or road noise either.
Priced from just under £33,000, this mid-range Proace Verso certainly isn't a cheap vehicle. That said, it does offer a good amount of standard equipment. It gets a seven-inch touchscreen which houses satellite navigation, while Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone integration are standard, too.
At this price point, there's a decent amount of competition. Standard seven-seat cars such as the SEAT Alhambra and Ford Galaxy come into play here, offering better on-road characteristics and more interior space when all three rows of seats are raised.
The Proace Verso comes with Toyota's five-year warranty, meaning that there won't be too many additional costs after purchase. Running costs are minimal too, with the 2.0-litre diesel returning 53.5mpg and emitting an impressive 139g/km CO2. This will mean fewer trips to the pump and lower vehicle tax too.
If you're looking to transport up to eight people in comfort, then the Proace Verso isn't such a bad choice. Other rivals may offer more interior space, but the Proace returns their fire by bringing with it a more usable load space - especially with the third row of seats removed.
Starting at just under £30,000, there's no doubt that the Proace Verso is a sizeable priced MPV. However, with good levels of interior quality and an acceptable drive, it seems worth the money. With three body styles to choose from as well, there should be something for everyone.

Roy Barnes now supports a milder version of a state worker retirement pension fund investment scheme he backed as governor.
A Democrat trying to win his old job back, Barnes floated the idea at a secret May 27 meeting of candidates and state business leaders.
His 2001 proposal called for Georgia to redirect up to $2 billion a year invested from state workers and teacher retirement funds.
The targets: venture capital, hedge funds, leveraged buyout funds, so-called "mezzanine funds" - all considered relatively high risk - and timberland.
For now, teacher pension funds are not part of Barnes' new proposal, but politically powerful educators groups are wary.
Go to savannahnow.com/elections for the latest in election news.
Last week, he advocated investing state employee retirement money - but not teachers' - in venture capital funds. Such funds often involve early-stage companies thought to have high growth potential.
In a radio interview with Athens-based WGAU, Barnes didn't rule out investing teacher pension funds, too.
But, he added, "you should take the employee retirement fund first to show the teachers you get benefits from venture capital."
The matter arose as Barnes is working to patch up relations with teachers, whose hostility helped foil his 2002 re-election bid. He has unveiled a new TV ad apologizing to them for, among other things, not listening better.
That he would even consider putting part of their nest egg in venture capital triggered a backlash from teacher groups and rival Democratic candidates.
"We not only told him no, but hell no," said Jeff Hubbard, president of the Georgia Association of Educators. "We don't want the state gambling with our retirement money."
Verdaillia Turner, president of the Georgia Federation of Teachers, was equally blunt.
"If he thinks it's such a sure bet," Turner said, "let him take his $16 million and put it in there."
She was referring to the net worth Barnes listed in a recent personal financial disclosure.
Currently, employee and teacher pension funds are invested mostly in stocks, annuities, mutual funds and bonds.
Opponents criticize
Jeff DiSantis, campaign manager for Attorney General Thurbert Baker, also criticized Barnes' proposal.
"Like Social Security," DiSantis said, "Georgia state pensions are the bedrock of a secure retirement.
"Raiding state pension funds and putting that money into exotic investment schemes is the worst possible idea, at the worst possible time."
Former secretary of state David Poythress said he wouldn't "under any circumstances gamble the hard-earned retirements of state employees and school teachers in venture capital funding."
And state Democratic House leader DuBose Porter said the proposal was "risky."
Baker, Porter and Poythress also are seeking the Democratic nomination for governor in the July 20 primary.
Hubbard noted Barnes' 2001 proposal was rejected.
It died in the state Senate after teachers and others opposed it and a study said the state would have to pay fund managers $160 million a year. Meanwhile, Barnes reaped more than $300,000 in donations to his 2002 campaign from fund managers and firms that pension fund investments might target.
"That's not relevant to this campaign," said Barnes spokesman Chris Carpenter.
In 2002, Barnes backed a successful bill to set up a legislative committee to study the idea, but nothing came of the idea.
"I backed off from it," said Sen. Vincent Fort, D-Atlanta, author of the 2001 bill. "I don't remember the details, but I do recall that the committee found that it was not a good idea."
Hubbard said two people who attended a May 27 Georgia Chamber of Commerce candidates forum that was closed to the press briefed him on Barnes' remarks.
Hubbard said it was his impression that teacher pension money might be part of the new investment proposal if Barnes is elected.
But not now, apparently.
"I think he got the message," Hubbard said.
Meets with teacher group
Hubbard said his group met with Barnes last weekend.
Carpenter said Barnes "made his position on teacher pensions very clear" in one recent meeting with a teachers group that he did not identify.
"He said that, as governor, he will be committed to retaining a safe and stable state pension plan for all teachers and all state employees," Carpenter said.
"As governor, Roy will, under no circumstances, allow the benefits of teachers and state employees to be undermined."
In the radio interview, Barnes spoke of a more modest investment - "1 or 2 percent" - in contrast to the up to 3.5 percent that would have been allowed under the 2001 bill. He also noted state retirees are guaranteed specific pensions regardless of the yield on investments.
"If the pension fund went to zero," he said, "then the employees and teachers have a retirement that's guaranteed by the taxpayers."
Carpenter said venture capital investments and ones in the riskier funds that would be allowed under the 2001 bills are "different animals."
Also in the radio interview, Barnes said Georgia is the only state that does not let pension funds buy into venture capital.
He said North Carolina has used them "very effectively" and "it has been a boon to their retirement funds."
But a recent New York Times analysis said pension funds making such investments have achieved only mixed results.
Bloomberg News reported last fall that Florida's pension funds lost $250 million on a New York apartment complex.
And Portfolio, a business magazine, said a North Carolina pension fund's investment of $277 million became nearly worthless.

Caring for Bermuda
With a little effort, hybrid Bermuda can be a very rewarding lawn to grow and maintain. Because Bermuda requires more nitrogen during the growing season than any other lawn grown in the Southeast, it is essential to choose higher quality products that provide the desired amount of nitrogen without producing too much top growth. The EXPO product listed below will provide ample nitrogen to the grass in a form which is more than 80% slow release. In addition to slow release nitrogen, this product also contains slow release potassium. Potassium is key in water movement and retention between plant cells, which lowers stress on the plant during hot dry periods. In essence, this new 20-0-25 EXPO product will provide a lush green lawn which is much more tolerant to drought conditions.
Bermuda performs best when mowed closely, as close as 1 to 1 ½ inches if possible. This height of cut can be easily obtained as long as the lawn is smooth. If there are several irregularities in the grade, be careful not to scalp those areas. Scalping a lawn can cause damage to the crown of the plant. If the lawn is uneven, contact one of our retail outlet location for instructions on topdressing a lawn. In order for Bermuda to look its best, you should mow your lawn every 5 to 7 days. This ensures that thatch will not become a problem and will help you avoid that "white" color of the lawn just after mowing.
Aeration has two purposes. The first is to simply loosen the soil. The second is to prune the roots. Core aeration is the recommended method and should be performed every 2 years on a typical home lawn during the growing season. If your lawn receives heavy foot traffic, it would be advisable to aerate every year. Aeration should be performed during the growing season.
Your lawn requires 1 to 1 ½ inches of water per week during the growing season. Irrigation of the lawn should be performed in the early morning hours just before daylight. This practice will avoid rapid evaporation of water before it reaches the lawn; yet allow the leaf tissue to dry quickly after the sun rises. Do not water your lawn every morning for short intervals. This process will only encourage shallow root growth. Instead, water your lawn for long periods two to three times a week.
A practical understanding of your soil is essential in managing your lawn. Soil pH is perhaps the most crucial element. Most turf grasses perform best when the soil pH falls between 6.3 and 7.0. We recommend that a soil test be performed annually to check the pH values as well as other nutrient levels within the soil profile. Any Carolina Fresh Farms Turf Center will be happy to send your soil samples to our soil testing laboratory. Our soil testing program is a free service.

Maybe you've learned from experience that the standard spark arrestors and rain caps that come with a customary chimney system don't last for very long. HomeSaver has designed their 8" round and 16" diameter chimney cap for a variety of air-insulated factory-built chimneys and is constructed to see out its lifetime warranty. This chimney cap fits virtually any brand of chimneys and can be a universal replacement for deteriorating, standard rain cap/spark arrestors that come with factory-built chimney systems.

HRD ministry has turned down its proposal on accreditation of educational institutes against quality parameters.
The Prime Minister's office had earlier proposed that multiple independent international agencies be introduced to ensure greater transparency and for timely and scientific accreditation of institutes.
Questions were frequently raised over the credibility and integrity of the current accreditation regime.
A national newspaper reported that HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar pointed out that top notch Indian institutes were just as competent and probably better placed to do the job.
The paper said that the HRD ministry suggested that IITs, IIMs, NITs and institutes of national importance be roped in for accreditation.
Former HRD minister Smriti Irani had run into conflict with the PMO over the regulatory regime for world class institutes and the autonomy of IIMs but Javadekar has ended the row by agreeing to bulk of suggestions from the PMO. Accreditation is probably the only point on which his ministry is taking a line different from the PMO's.
The PMO, which has been monitoring the HRD ministry against near 45 action points, has listed finalisation of guidelines "to allow internationally reputed institutions to accredit higher education institutions" by June 2016.
At a stock taking meeting called by the Niti Aayog earlier this month, the issue was taken up and the HRD ministry indicated that it was instead working on a proposal to engage the best educational institutes in the accreditation process.
According to the paper HRD ministry's proposal says that the process of inspection of institutes for accreditation — a key area which is often allegedly compromised — will be outsourced to a consortium of IITs and IIMs.
Currently, it is the National Board of Accreditation and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council which inspects, evaluate and assess technical institutes and other higher education institutes respectively on certain parameters.
Now IITs and IIMs will submit their reports to NAAC and NBA. Based on these reports, the two agencies will have the power to decide about granting accreditation to the applicant.

You've met someone you are attracted to, your eyes met across a crowded room, and now you can think of nothing else. You spoke, you found that you like each other, and now you are heading of on your first date together. Or maybe it's a case that you have been set up by your friends, in which case you will have a lot of nervous excitement, what do the look like, how did I get myself talked into this. For both of you it is a step into the unknown that is filled with all kinds of potential, but you don't want to mess it up, so how can you get to know someone on a first date.
If you want to get to know someone on a first date, it is important to relax and just be yourself, which okay, is possibly easier said than done. This date is all about finding out about each other to see if there is something worth pursuing. It is worth remembering, just before your nerves get to carried away, that you both have decided to spend time with each other, you date has made a choice to be with you.
There are certain areas of discussion that you probably want to avoid as they can make people a bit excitable. Politics, religion and money. On a first date who cares about the first two. I guess it could be useful to know how solvent your date is, but maybe not on a first date, that would be just bad manners. Don't whatever you do talk about previous relationships, this is a new date, a fresh chapter in your life waiting to be written, you are supposed to be looking forwards, not backwards.
It can also be worthwhile letting friends and family know that you are on a date, especially if you know nothing about your date. Meet in a public place. You might never have a problem, but better to be safe than sorry.
If you have a cell phone with you then make sure that you turn it off. Don't have it on silent, don't set it to vibrate, turn it off. If you leave your phone what are you going to do when some idiot disturbs your date by calling you. Are you going to take the call and talk to them, thereby showing your date that there are more important people in your life? Even if you turn the sound off, the temptation will still be there to check if anyone called. If you want to get to know someone on a first date then give them 100% undivided attention, when you are talking to them or they to you, look at them, don't look around them or through them you will give the impression of being disinterested, look straight at them.
This date is for both of you to get to know each other, so don't monopolize the conversation, and if you're date says something then actively listen to what they say. If you want to know more about something then ask questions, if your date says something that gives you the opportunity to respond, then respond. The big danger is that your mind will drift away with your thoughts about your date, and it will look as if you are not paying attention. So keep it simple, keep the date to who you are, and try not to over complicate things.
Find out their likes and dislikes as you need to know if you are compatible with each other. Opposites might attract, but they tend not to have lasting relationships. Is your date someone you feel comfortable with, someone you could share your life with?
Smile. People always respond to smiles, it's something instinctive within us. Smiling makes you come across as warm, affable and approachable. It's not a word that I like using, but smiling makes people view you as a nice person, and who would you rather date, a nice person or a nasty person?
Your date is giving up their time to be with you so show them some respect. Be polite and good mannered. Courtesy cost nothing, it shows you to be a decent, thoughtful, careful person. As you don't know what this date could lead to, do your best to create a good impression, but always remember to not try not to be someone you are not. If you are having a bad date and you've nothing whatsoever in common, then make some excuse to leave.
How to get to know someone on a first date is to take it slowly. Make sure that you have some common ground, something on which you can build. If you really hit it of then you can drop ideas about the next date, such as, I'm thinking of going to this concert, would you like to come to? If you enjoy being in each others company, if you have interests that you could share, then let your date know. Tell your date that you would like the chance to get to know them better, and if they feel the same way, who knows where it could lead.
When I first started writing about relationships, I set up http://www.reviewthemagicofmakingup.com so that I could examine all aspects of relationships. I have since set up [http://www.helpmarriage.org] so that I could separate marriage and relationships onto different sites. I am trying to cover all aspects (or as much as possible) of marriage and relationships. I hope that you will find something on one of my sites that will be of help to you.

A Star Returns
Faith Prince is returning to Broadway, this time opposite Martin Short in the revival of ''Little Me.'' Ms. Prince, who won a Tony in 1992 for her portrayal of the feisty Miss Adelaide in ''Guys and Dolls,'' will play Belle Poitrine, a poor girl who stumbles her way through a series of madcap adventures and unfortunate men, all of whom will played by Mr. Short. The musical, with a book by Neil Simon, lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and music by Cy Coleman, is scheduled to begin previews at the Roundabout Theater Company in late September. The casting, announced yesterday by the Roundabout's artistic director, Todd Haimes,, brings Ms. Prince back to Broadway for the first time since she left the revival of ''The King and I'' in December.
Opera Emerges
It has been a while coming, but it looks as if Deborah Drattell's first opera, ''Lilith,'' will finally receive its premiere. It was scheduled to be unveiled in June 1997 by the Dicapo Opera Theater in Manhattan but was canceled because of a contractual dispute involving the theater, the American Federation of Musicians and the 92d Street Y, the opera's co-producer. Now, ''Lilith'' is being staged by the Glimmerglass Opera in Cooperstown, N.Y., which will present the work on Sunday. The opera follows the story of Lilith, known in Jewish myth as the demonic first wife of Adam, and her encounters with Eve. Ms. Drattell, 42, was named the first composer in residence at the New York City Opera last year.
Movement Interrupted
Whoever knew classical music fans -- nay, English classical music fans -- could be so rowdy? At a concert on Monday night at Albert Hall in London, a group of ''anti-modern music activists'' disrupted a performance of Oliver Knussen's ''Coursing'' by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. The Evening Standard reported that the protesters took over a balcony box, set off an alarm and proceeded to dump leaflets on the audience. The leaflets called the concert, part of this month's Proms series sponsored by the BBC, a ''banal grab bag of other people's musical effects.'' The protesters then fled. No arrests were reported and the concert continued after a brief delay, the newspaper said, ''to tumultuous applause.''
Elvis Redux
The King is gone, but he's not forgotten. Sunday will be the 21st anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, but in Memphis, the annual Elvis Week celebration has begun. Panel discussions yesterday featured people who had known Presley, including several actresses who starred in his films. In addition to tribute concerts each night, other attractions include a seminar at the University of Memphis on his place in musical history, and a five-kilometer ''Fun Run.'' Festivities end this weekend with an all-night candlelight vigil followed by a gospel brunch. JESSE McKINLEYContinue reading the main story

My Blessed July 2016Tuesday, August 02, 2016
Oh my! Time flies by in the blink of an eye. We are entering August and left 5 more months to another brand new year. I thank God every day for every breath I take, cherish every moment and every person in my life. To embrace the moment of life regardless of the good, beautiful or the ugly one.
When I was browsing hp photo gallery, I have a sudden urge to write a blog post for all the happenings in July this year. Since end of last year, me & fiance received many red booms and it seems that most of my friends (starting from mid 80s) is getting married this year.
July is a beautiful month, I attended the 6th & 7th weddings of the year on the same weekend - Saturday and Sunday. Coincidentally, both wedding venue is nearby, at Cyberjaya & Putrajaya.
Garden wedding at Cyberjaya Lakeside and the weather was really good. The theme was white & grey and every guest was invited to dress accordingly.
Paired my white dress with a simple black pouch which I bought from Korea, cheap deal, RM30 only.
Next day, I attended my schoolmate wedding dinner at Pullman Hotel, Putrajaya.
A woman will never go wrong with a black dress.
The pretty bride. I knew her since young and we went to the same school during primary and secondary.
With the pretty bride and my other schoolmate.
Beautiful stage backdrop at Connie's wedding.
Blessed marriage.
With the cutie pie, she is my friend's daughter. It was a night full of laughter as well, as we updated each other our current life and also many of them bringing their kids & babies along. Imagine, we knew each other since young and now everyone has grown up.
My other half at the wedding wedding.
Afternoon tea at Piano Lounge, Grand Dorsett Hotel. We bought the voucher from Groupon, RM45 for 2 pax, comes with drinks too. Great deal right? But the food wasn't delicious, pastries and even the scone was cold. Anyway, we got a private room to enjoy our afternoon tea. Not too bad after all.
Dating, to Sunway Pyramid on Raya Holiday.
The first time I try llao llao was in Singapore. Since they open the stores in Malaysia, I have yet to visit. Here's the 2nd time for llao llao, they have so many choices and it was not easy to choose. End up, I got the cheapest and simple youghurt ice cream without any toppings. Taste good!! If I didn't remember wrongly, this simple scope of ice cream cost RM4.50 but worth it.
July is the month of celebration too, it was fiance's birthday. A dinner at Ole-Ole Bali, Indonesian food. My treat.
Simple outfit for fiance's birthday dinner.
Staycation is fun too!
My healthy breakfast at the hotel.
Finally, we make time for each other. We always meet at work for projects collaboration and this is our first time meet up on weekend. From working partner to friend, how awesome yea.
3 hours is not enough for us, next time we gotta chill longer.
Me & girlfriend private session at Yellow Bricks Road.
Chamomile tea & carrot cake.
Surprisingly, the carrot cake at this cafe is really delicious. I think this is the most delicious carrot cake I have had ever. Will be back for the carrot cake again. tee hee///
After work, chill out session with ex-colleague at Gold Bar, Tropicana.
3 of us at Gold Bar.
Great company, conversation and of course, great beer too.
Did you know? Wednesday is ladies night and the current promotion is buy 1 free 1 for a glass of wine.
3 of us finished these 8 bottles.
Our friend traveled to Malaysia and we brought him to enjoy some local dishes at Wong Ah Wah restaurant. Not forget to try the durian too. This is "Super XO" durian and selling at RM50 per kg and ours cost RM60, SO YUMMY!!
Our friend enjoyed the durian and coconut water.
Beautiful evening on one random day.
I bought this spicy instant noodle from Korea in April and finally get to try it now. The kimchi is from Korea.
Weekend activity with friends - cycling at Bukit Cahaya @ Shah Alam. It was a 2 hours tiring ride and we sweat a lot! Any how, we enjoyed the ride and company too.
Bicycle can be rented at RM10 or RM15 per hour and RM1 for subsequent hour.
Lovely postcard from Taiwan.
My sister bought Mc D ice-cream and she posted the photo in our whatsapp group chat. End up, I got one for myself too. *GRIN*
Slowly slowly.... my tools are getting more and more.
Masking tape.. calligraphy ink and colour palette, colour brush, calligraphy nibs and oblique.. (many more). I personally think this is an expensive hobby but as long as you enjoy what you're doing, it is worthy.
Bear stamp - RM 72.60
FINETEC gold palette - RM99
Black colour brush - RM20 (ink refill can purchase separately)
Other colour brush - less than RM7 / RM8
Calligraphy ink - around RM20 if I didn't remember wrongly
Masking tape - all design at different pricing
Others - can't recall the price

I attended a calligraphy basic class last November but didn't practice for few months. Now, I'm back to calligraphy again. Calligraphy is not as hard as you thought, practice more, write more and you can create beautiful calligraphy too. This "HELLO", I practice a lot and finally, here's the one that I'm happy with.
Besides lots of practicing, I'm following many calligraphy artist in Instagram too. Try to practice the calligraphy from different artist and soon you will master the stroke, curvy and style. A;so, watch video will helps too. Last but not least, practice makes perfect!!.
"Carpe Diem, seize the day"
Yeap, the ink I'm using for calligraphy now is Winsor and Newton brand. The ink is quite good as it will dry quickly.
Next, I would like to master the colour brush calligraphy. This is harder compare to the nibs one because brush is soft and we have to control the brush nicely in order to get the beautiful calligraphy. This is my first colour brush calligraphy, worth to post it here for memory.
More practice needed..
Next project, I wanna draw and paint everything about Korea. From the snacks, food, culture to buildings.
I took one day leave to run some errands - to get a new replacement for my lost passport and to KWSP settle some stuff. I didn't knew by losing a passport, we will need to prepare so many documents. I will share about this in separate post when there's a chance.
There's this shop in PJ, Gasing area served delicious chicken rice and here we were on our off day after settled some stuff in KWSP, PJ.
Apparently, this Ipoh Kaya puff is very famous and the fiance's parents bought few boxes from Ipoh.
Back in Kuantan, family time.
Thai steamboat BBQ with the family. *burp*
Grandmother was sick and admitted to hospital few weeks ago, I was really worried but now she's recovering and we were happy she able to join us for dinner and dessert. "Grandma, stay healthy ya. I hope you will be there to witness the marriage of your granddaughter next year."
I was craving for bingsu after Thai BBQ steamboar and younger sister told me there's this new cafe nearby our house served bingsu. YAY! Here's our mango bingsu. yummmmy..
Oh, we had ice cream too.
Visit O'delia Cafe for dessert when you're in Kuantan.
My precious family.
...after Sunday service at church.
Kuantan has many delicious foods and I've yet to try them all (impossible also la). This one looks like asam laksa, but it is actually laksa (curry). Taste good with the sambal given.
Do you still remember this type of fruits stall? Most of the time, we buy fruits from supermarket or fruits shop, people hardly buy from the fruit stall by the road side. This fruit stall at Kuantan is owned by my dad's friend. Uncle is so friendly and he gave me free guava and selling the dragon fruit at cost price. How sweet.
Salted egg waffle at 90 degree cafe @ Kuantan.
Menu at 90 degree cafe @ Kuantan.
Finally found a malay stall selling delicious nasi lemak with cockles. #breakfast Now I can easily buy it before clock-in to office.
Kimchi fried rice at Hanbing Korean Dessert Cafe, Courtyard SS15.
#notYUMMYatall #disappointed
Luckily the Musang King Durian Bingsu @ Hanbing Korean Dessert Cafe is a BOMB! Must try.
Last Friday, I went to baby expo at Mid Valley with colleagues. Nope, I'm not pregnant la.. I was there for some market research. First time at baby expo and I found many interesting products for babies.
#random. Found this stall at Plaza Mont Kiara bazaar on every Thursday.
The mango jam is delicious but expensive, RM15 per bottle.
Weekend big breakfast with the loved one at Kaffa Cafe, TTDI.
Added another bear into my collection.This is in support of a special social change project by the Malaysian AIDS Foundation. By donating RM60, we can help children who living with HIV to receive complete nutritious meals, get to pay for their treatments and regular checkups. With a RM60 contribution, I'm bringing home this cute bear too.
[Big Head Prawn aka 大头虾]
First time forgotten to put makeup to work.. Luckily, doesn't look too bad after all. *wink*
[PAY as YOU WISH ☕]
How much are you willing to pay for a cup of coffee like this? I think I'm silly to pay for RM5 for this coz I saw most of the customers gave RM1 only!!! Anyway, interesting marketing idea. #latte
On and off, I will try different brands of collagen. This round, I will give it a try on this BHK's 2nd Gens Collagen which stated, "helps in improving skin elasticity and to provides hydration". Let's see the result after 1 month.
Sunday date with girl friends at A Toast Breakfast & Juice Bar @ Jalan Pudu.
A Toast is serving variety of sandwiches, it can be for take away to enjoy at the shop. Limited tables are available, so I would suggest to go early to avoid disappointment. Anyway, we waited 5 minutes for our table.
Sandwich from A Toast.
My sandwich from A Toast is spicy chicken floss with eggs, ham and vege in charcoal bread.

Ayew earns Anigo acclaim
Marseille have expressed their delight at having convinced Andre Ayew to return to the club over the summer.
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 21/09/10 2:38pm
Marseille have expressed their delight at having convinced Andre Ayew to return to the club over the summer.
The 20-year-old playmaker was hot property during the transfer window, having shone for Ghana at the 2010 World Cup.
His performances in South Africa came off the back of an impressive loan spell at Arles-Avignon last season, a side he helped to secure promotion into Ligue 1.
Reports suggested that his rapid progress had attracted the attention of some of Europe's top clubs, with big-money bids reported to be in the pipeline.
However, having progressed through the academy ranks at Marseille, he returned to Stade Velodrome for the 2010/11 campaign.
The reigning Ligue 1 champions have since handed the African ace an extended contract until 2014 and have increased his salary substantially.
Their faith in the youngster has been repaid with goals, including two against Arles on Saturday, and the club's sporting director Jose Anigo is delighted to see Ayew back where he belongs.
Anigo told L'Equipe: "It was easy to talk with Andre because he really loves this club.
"He also has a sensible entourage who made sure they chose the right club for the player.
"When you are young, going abroad it is not necessarily the best thing.
"We didn't pay any money to get him back. He was educated here and that means he deserves to get fair wages. It is only logical.
"His status has now changed, he has more experience. He still has a lot of steps to take, though, as this is just the start."

Goldwater v. Carter
- The US signed the Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty with Taiwan. Congress ratified the treaty and it came into force.
- Later, President Carter wanted to establish diplomatic relations with China, so he unilaterally cancelled the treaty with Taiwan to get the Chinese to agree to relations.
- He did not consult with Congress, or ask them to ratify the nullification.
- Senator Goldwater sued for an injunction, claiming that in order to nullify a treaty, the President needs to get the advice and consent of the Senate.
- See Article II, Section 2, which states that the President cannot make treaties without a Senate majority 2/3rds vote.
- The Constitution says nothing about how to break a treaty.
- See Article II, Section 2, which states that the President cannot make treaties without a Senate majority 2/3rds vote.
- The US Supreme Court dismissed the case.
- The US Supreme Court found that this was a political question, and so it could not be decided by the courts.
- In a concurrence, it was argued that the issue itself, the powers of the President to break treaties without Congressional approval, would have been arguable had Congress issued a formal opposition through a resolution to the termination of the treaty.
- This would have turned the case into a constitutional debate between the executive powers granted to the President against the legislative powers granted to Congress. As the case stood, however, it was simply a dispute between the executive and legislative branches of government, and was political in nature.
- In a dissent, it was argued that "the issue of decisionmaking authority must be resolved as a matter of constitutional law, not political discretion; accordingly, it falls within the competence of the courts."
- The case is a good example of the Political Question Doctrine.
- As it stands now, there is no official ruling on whether the President has the power to break a treaty without the approval of Congress.

Should I divorce?
This is probably one of the most common questions I get asked by the users of Dreamsrecycled.com. I never answer this question as it is not a decision that can or should be made by anyone but the individual. I actually ironically do not even advocate divorce, I explain to men and women alike that two major truths apply.
1, Divorce often replaced one set of personal issues, with another set of issues, personal happiness for financial and emotional struggles from dividing households and children.
2, That the grass isn't always greener, if you happen to married to someone, kind, loyal, faithful and of good character then you probably will be disappointed to find so many disingenuous and untrustworthy individuals out there today.
Does this mean that no one ever should get divorced? Of course not, we only have one life to lead approximately 77 years of it, we all deserve to be happy in our selves and treated with kindness, love and respect. The irony of talking to people who contact us with divorce questions, is that by the time they are researching divorce and find us online- they have for the most part already deep inside made the decision to divorce. I know from personal experience and from listening to thousands of divorce stories this decision is almost never done on a whim or without some major soul searching. The top seven reasons for divorce I hear are listed below, I hope that for some this list validates what others struggling to cope feel, and for those who are reading and are indulging in these behaviors, its never too late to stop or change and believe may when I say EVERYONE has a limit of what they will put up with before ending their marriages.
1. With holding-one of the most detrimental things you can do to your spouse, do not with hold love, affection, sex, money, gifts, kindness, care, when we marry and find ourselves being "punished" daily by our spouses this behavior eradicates any love between both parties and eventually your spouse will leave and of look for what ever has been withheld else where.
2. Adultery-cheating within marriage is never acceptable unless you have an open agreed upon dynamic (which bless you for figuring that out one person to deal with is enough for me).Cheating is common place as we have almost unlimited access to other people through work, travel, social media. Some people do stay in marriages after adultery has occurred but a very high percentage around 72% will eventually leave or divorce once adultery has occurred. Which makes perfect sense, once you break your actual marriage vows you have broken the intimacy you once shared and trust is so very easy to lose and almost impossible to gain back after cheating occurs.
3. Physical abuse- I shouldn't even have to list this reason, no one ever should be living in a physically damaging marriage. Violence is never acceptable from either the husband OR the wife. Seek help and if you choose to leave please do so as safely as possible, thehotline.org (1-800-799-7233).
4. Emotional abuse-unlike physical abuse the lines can seem much more blurred, between what is acceptable or not with in a marriage. My view is that if anyone is verbalizing unkind, derogatory, cursing, belittling, condescending dialogue that makes you feel, not worthy, not good enough in any way, this is totally unacceptable. Both men and women are equally guilty of this, this tears down your spouses self esteem and worth from the inside out, and is equally likely to have you winding up in divorce court. Speak kindly lovingly or not at all.
5. Financial control- It is not always possible for many reasons for both spouses to be financially independent and equal in salary even. When you marry you are entering into a contract between two people that is supposed to make two parties equal in all areas of their life including financially. No one likes or will put up with long term being controlled by the others financial strings. It is an often used control tactic, and all around detrimental ploy to gain power in a marriage. If you trust and love someone, you also have to trust them with financial decisions also.
6. Time- time is an often forgotten reason for divorce, if you do not make time to s[end alone with your spouse, what does this say to your spouse about your feelings towards them or your priorities in life. Yes work and children can drag you away from time with your spouse, but if you allow either of those other commitments to take so much hold over your time together that you end up feeling like room mates or strangers in your marriage, your marriage is unlikely to last.
7. Growing Apart- probably the hardest of all reasons to accept, you have good intentions, no one is doing anything untoward in your marriage yet you just fall out of love and can't find a happiness you once had with in this relationship. In this situation I think there is always a chance to save your marriage, at the very least try marriage counselling, a couple course, date night etc. Maybe the key is to recognize these feelings early on in the growing apart stage and be brave enough to both address them and work together to try to save your marriage.
There are a plethora of other reasons people divorce, I think most divorces could be avoided if we started by making better choices in who we marry, recognize the signs right of the bat, if someone is unkind, who they treat you, their character morals etc. Most of the people I speak to can in hindsight recognize the red flags way before they said I do. Look for kindness, honesty and make sure you have a very strong foundation of trust and communication to hopefully guide through the bad days that I believe most marriages will go through at some time. Divorce is a personal choice, if this is the decision you make, do so in as positive manner as possible, try to take the high road where possible and be firm and fair in your dealings with your ex spouse, after all you both made this commitment to each other at one time and if you have children with this ex divorce is forever so use kindness liberally when you can.

disclosure: This box was sent by PR for editorial consideration.Posted by myfunnyvalentine on Nov 30th, 2011 in Reviews | 316518commentshttp%3A%2F%2Fmyfunnyvalentineblog.com%2F2011%2F11%2Fintroducing-i-love-this-box.htmlIntroducing+I+Love+This+Box%21+2011-11-30+23%3A45%3A29myfunnyvalentinehttp%3A%2F%2Fmyfunnyvalentineblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D3165

There's been a lot of buzz in the blogosphere about the Australian drug store brand SAX cosmetics in the last 12 months, and I've been dying to try their lip products since reading Tine's rave review of the SAX lip gloss in Coral (a drugstore product that could pass for Chanel? Yes please!).
I was fortunate enough to be contacted by their PR rep about trialing some of their lip products a couple of months back.
Prices: $12.95 AU RRP for lip gloss , $14.95 AU RPP for lipsticks
Availability: Selected pharmacies in Australia and New Zealand – check www.saxcosmetics.com for stockists.
SAX Taupe lipgloss
This is my favourite out of the four, and something that has become somewhat of a handbag staple lately.
SAX Taupe lipgloss is a gorgeous deepened rosy caramel with incredible pigmentation (medium to full coverage) and lasting power (about 2hrs which is way above average for a gloss on me). Taupe is one of those lippies that look amazing with anything from smokey eyes to no-makeup makeup looks.
It also wears very comfortably on the lips- cushiony, moisturising, and non sticky.
Only thing I don't like about this otherwise stellar product is the strong vanilla batter scent, which is a little too sickly sweet for my liking – thankfully the scent fades quickly.
SAX Peony lipgloss
Peony is a pale, cool toned doll pink that is a favourite amongst quite a number of bloggers.
I've never been able to pull off cool toned pale pinks (they always make me look like a zombie, or a hooker, or in the worst case scenario- a zombie hooker) so I found Peony didn't suit me. It does, however, look amazing on Stef (see her lip swatch here) .
It is a little sheerer than SAX Taupe lip gloss (sheer to medium pigmentation), and has the same lovely texture, great lasting power, and scent.

So it's about 3 weeks into Healthy Summer, and apart from some minor hiccups (ahem trip to Sydney) things are going really well I think. I feel fantastic- I'm eating clean, loving exercise, and seeing (a hint of) abs for the first time in forever!
Now that I'm doing so much more cooking, and minimal meals out / takeaway, I've (re)discovered that I actually really enjoy cooking. There's a sense of pride when you create meals that you take pleasure in eating- from the simplest of salads, to more complex meals.
These are some of the clean eats I've had the past week and a half:
I've realised these last few weeks just how important a low GI breakfasts is to how I feel the entire day. If I don't look after myself at breakfast, my energy levels are noticably lower and I'm starving by mid morning.
I've been having either bircher muesli topped with Jalna probiotic yogurt, cooked oats with milk and honey, or baked beans toasted sandwiches.
– Stir fried Barramundi and spring onions, with ridiculous amounts of garlic and fresh red chilis. I have this with a small serving of brown rice.
– Chicken skinless 'lovely legs' and hard boiled eggs stewed in soy sauce, chicken stock, and five spice powder (star anise, cinammon, fennel seeds, Cloves, black pepper). I normally brown the chicken and hard boiled egg on the pan with lots of garlic, and then have it on low simmer for 3hours minimum. I have this with brown rice.
– Ma Po Tofu: silken tofu with garlic, minced pork, chinese chili black bean sauce, soy sauce, chopped spring onions, finely chopped chinese mushrooms, lots of fresh chopped chili, and a dash of sesame oil. Served with brown rice. Traditionally this is quite a greasy affair, but I make it with less than a tblspn of EVOO for two serves.
portion control can be a bit tough with these meals, but it has to be done!

I mixed 'My Perfect Scarlet' quite awhile ago (around the same time that I mixed the deep blackberry shade 'Black Cherry') and the post has been languishing in my drafts for over a month.
Ah well, better late than never! (hmm I've been saying that a lot lately).
I do have a good reason for being so behind on all my posting this last month- I've been studying like a madwoman for the final written exam of the Ocular Therapeutics post grad course that I'm doing. I thought doing Optometry was tough when I was an undergrad – I had no idea how seriously draining post grad course work + full time work + blogging was going to be. I guess I shouldn't complain- one of my colleagues working in our practice is also doing the course with me, and he is a new father.
Now that I've finished my exam, I'm looking forward to having time to mix some more custom Lip Tar colours. I'm also really excited about my new empty twist up brush lipgloss containers from Lehved.com (you know, like Stila Lip Glazes) that I can package my custom Lip Tars in.
I always find red lip colours extremely difficult to photograph accurately. My Perfect Scarlet, for example, looks nothing like a 'scarlet' in these photos- but you'll just have to take my word for it that in real life, it's a darker red than it appears here. Like a blood red.
