HONOLULU (AP) — Weather officials downgraded a tropical storm moving through Hawaii to a tropical depression on Monday night, but weaker winds and rainfall still knocked out power for about 6,500 people on Maui and the Big Island.
The National Weather Service canceled all storm warnings for Tropical Storm Flossie in Hawaii on Monday evening, keeping a flash flood watch in effect statewide until Tuesday night.
The service later issued a flash flood warning for Maui, where live television footage showed thunder and lightning, fast-moving clouds and plenty of rain and wind.
"It's just coming very, very quick and fast," Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa said in a live interview on KITV-TV. "The entire island is going to get inundated very quickly."
Rain was falling at rates of 4 inches per hour, and the service recommended people in low-lying areas move to higher ground right away.
Weather officials said a downgraded Flossie may still cause power outages and road closures, with wind gusts up to 40 mph through mountain passes.
The downgrade came before Flossie hit Oahu, the most populous island in the chain. With Flossie still a few hours away, emergency officials dealt with a high number of accidents — including six within an hour on one road connecting the eastern side of the island with the main part of Honolulu.
Darren Pai, spokesman for Hawaiian Electric Company, said about 4,500 people were without power on the Big Island on Monday night as the utility responded to multiple outages that started in the late morning. Another roughly 2,000 people lost power in Kihei, Maui, but were restored. Other outages were reported in Hana and Piiholo before being restored, Pai said.
Forecasters expect up to 6 inches of rain on parts of the Big Island and up to 2 inches of rain elsewhere. They say that could cause life-threatening mudslides and flash floods.
Flossie faded through the morning thanks to winds that broke layers of the storm apart, said Tom Evans, acting director of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
Warnings about the storm didn't stop some tourists from heading to popular beaches, despite urgings from state officials to cancel all beach trips until further notice. In Waikiki, beaches were unusually sparse as those outside contended with overcast skies and rain ahead of Flossie's arrival.
Kelly Tarkington, a college student from Savannah, Ga., got a sunburn from spending eight hours on the beach Sunday but had to take refuge from the rain under a beach umbrella Monday along with her aunt.
"We just came to enjoy the beach — attempt to at least — and now it's pouring rain so we're under our umbrella. It's awful," said Tarkington, 21.
But she said the weather was mild compared with back home, so her experience won't stop her from returning to Hawaii.
If it keeps raining, she said, she'll do more shopping.
As of 5 p.m. local time Monday, the center of Flossie was about 90 miles east of Honolulu, traveling west at 18 mph.
Residents and government officials spent the weekend preparing for the storm's arrival. College campuses and courts were closed Monday on the Big Island, and the Red Cross was gathering volunteers to staff 24 shelters statewide.
The U.S. Coast Guard closed three ports — two on the Big Island where the storm was expected first, and a third port on Maui. Airports statewide were open Monday but many flights were being canceled.
Trails and campgrounds also were closed on the Big Island, where state officials warned people to avoid forest areas until Flossie clears.
Officials warned people to finish necessary storm preparations early and leave their homes if asked.
"I woke up to blue skies. It was just a beautiful day out," Ian Shortridge, 22, of Kealakekua, on the west side of the Big Island, said Monday. "It hasn't rained all morning. We are waiting for the rain."
Shortridge said he saw McDonald's employees boarding up windows Sunday. Store shelves were running low of essentials like bottled water and toilet paper, he said.
Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed an emergency proclamation that allows the state to use the National Guard, along with its disaster fund to pay for staff overtime, supplies and other resources.
Melanie and Ian Jenkins of Portsmouth, England, tried to catch some sun lying on Waikiki Beach but were close to giving up as raindrops fell on the sand.
"The showers are getting colder and colder each time, and I might give up in the next half hour," Melanie Jenkins said.
"It's still warmer than England," her husband said.

08.16.13Constructed to minimize its potential impact on the surrounding area, Momentive Specialty Chemicals Inc. ("Momentive Specialty Chemicals," "MSC" or the "Company") recently announced the successful start-up of its new plant in Chonburi, Thailand. The plant, which significantly increased the Company's capacity to produce acrylic-based resins and service customers locally, was designed for sustainable manufacturing practices.
"The engineering design delivers enhanced energy preservation through high-efficiency heating and cooling systems," said Julia Harp, Senior Vice President, Momentive Specialty Chemicals. "Improvements gained through automation and the utilization of the latest generation of technologies allow us to deliver both consistent product quality and achieve emission levels that are well within regulatory guidelines."
The site, which is located on land purchased by the Company in the Pinthong Industrial Estate Park, produces a broad range of acrylic resins designed for use primarily in coatings, adhesives, and building and construction applications. To mark the successful start-up of the facility, MSC leadership will be hosting customers and invited guests to a celebration Sept. 10 – 11.
The manufacturing design and operations of the Chonburi site are aligned with the Company's overall sustainability initiatives. These initiatives drive an integrated business approach that creates long-term stakeholder value through responsible stewardship of assets and products, the environment and a commitment to social responsibility.
Momentive recently announced the publication of its latest sustainability report entitled "Sustainability: A Top to Bottom Approach." The report provides expanded metrics related to environmental and safety performance, as well as an update on a number of ongoing sustainability initiatives. For example, greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced by six percent collectively for Momentive Performance Materials (MPM) and MSC since 2010. In addition, MPM and MSC saw its aggregate Occupation Illness and Injuries Rate performance improve significantly as the injury rate declined by 66.9 percent over the last six years.

CASES; Stopping to Smile on the Way to Sadness
By THERESA BROWN and R.N.
Published: June 8, 2010
I walked into my patient's room, waving a copy of her lab work in the air. Her white blood cell counts were finally high enough for her to leave the hospital. It had taken her awhile, and this was her third try at chemo, but finally she'd reached the magic number that would get her a ticket home.
I knew her from her repeated hospital stays. We had tried one chemo regimen after another, trying to kill off her disease - or at least kill enough of it so she could get a stem cell transplant. She was not only practical about her cancer, but also exceedingly kind. She had a dedicated husband. We all loved her.
In the oncology ward, nurses don't get many chances to deliver good news, so we hatched a plan for celebrating later that afternoon. Another nurse, Christi, had brought a bottle of sparkling apple cider for just this purpose.
But then, around 1:30 that afternoon, my patient in the room next door died. I felt indescribably sad, though I had met him only the day before. He was irascible and opinionated, but I'd fallen in love with him, as much as anyone can after such a brief acquaintance. He faced his coming end with an ironic embrace of its inevitability, and an amazing clarity about how he wanted to die.
I gave myself a little time to grieve, then filled out the electronic paperwork. Suddenly I realized that the celebration with my other patient would have to wait.
I told her there was something I had to do, something that couldn't be put off. That ''something'' was taking the man's body to the hospital morgue, but I didn't want to be that specific.
She looked at me - thin, bald, with a nobility that arose from her great kindness. ''No, I know what you have to do,'' she told me. ''That's more important. You do that, and then we'll celebrate.''
I gulped as I realized that the wall between the two rooms must be fairly thin, or thin enough that the sound of my dying patient, and his grieving wife and daughters, had been clearly heard from the other side.
But eventually we did celebrate - briefly but nicely - and at the end of my shift I told her goodbye.
Three months passed. She got her stem cell transplant, but the cancer came back with a vengeance. Soon it had moved into her central nervous system, and there was nothing we could do. This time we sent her home to hospice care.
I hate the way these stories end. Everyone seems to die. These are not the stories I expected to tell when I left my job as an English professor 12 years ago to go to nursing school. But I have come to realize that just because the stories often don't have happy endings, that doesn't mean they don't have happy moments.
I look at our patients as if they were living their lives in time-lapse photography. They get their diagnosis, and every day they spend in the hospital is another day they're fighting for their lives. They have birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, celebrations - big ones when they get good medical news, smaller ones for simple pleasures like being set free from their IV pump. Moments of happiness and unhappiness are compressed and sped up, like a rose blooming and dying in just a few minutes on film.
On the oncology floor, every day is both horrible and precious. As nurses, we hold basins while patients vomit, and rejoice when they can once again keep food down. We celebrate when the patient who had been too weak to walk takes his first steps with the help of our physical therapists. We get excited with them when it's finally time to go home.
When the situation is especially grim we're also there. Buoyed by our memories of all the happiness, caring and even love that occasionally bursts forth within these hospital walls, we find the strength to help one more patient leave this world.
Tomorrow someone else will come, faced with the agony and occasional ecstasy that a cancer diagnosis brings. And we nurses will be with them, trying hard to match their pace, struggling emotionally just to keep up.
And sometimes, we'll even drink a glass of sparkling cider, in an effort, however briefly, to slow things down.
Theresa Brown, a nurse in Pennsylvania, writes regularly for the Well blog. Her new book is ''Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life and Everything in Between.''
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

Local Government Act passed in parliament
LEGISLATION aimed at giving local governments more decision-making power, including cracking down on noisy party-houses, has passed the Queensland Parliament.
After hours of detailed debate, the Local Government Act was passed late on Tuesday night.
Among the sweeping changes is the power for councils to conduct referendums on locally relevant issues and for mayors to be responsible for the preparation of budgets, not chief executive officers.
Local Government Minister David Crisafulli told Parliament the amendment was in line with the government's intention to put mayors and councillors in charge of councils.
But Mackay MP Tim Mulherin raised concerns about councils having the ability to pass their own interim local laws without consultation.
"Many people in regional and rural areas are used to looking to their local papers for information about their council, and this is an ideal way to keep the community informed," he told the Parliament.
"I cannot imagine that the cost would be so excessive as to outweigh the benefit of keeping the community informed."
The act also gives councils the power to pass local laws to make the owners of noisy properties liable for penalties.
Noosa MP Glen Elmes said legitimate accommodation houses in his electorate had lost business unfairly to competitors who flouted planning laws to pursue their own personal interests.
"Those interests have been at the expense of the neighbours adjacent to their purpose-built party houses," he said in Parliament.
"Those party houses do not normally meet fire safety or emergency evacuation standards or any of the other proper safety infrastructures that is required of genuine holiday accommodation."
Changes to conflict of interest regulations will exempt councillors from declaring a material personal interest at a meeting regarding an "ordinary business matter".
Mr Crisafulli said the previous act made councils less responsive to their communities because they were too busy reporting to the State Government.
"Whether it's Brisbane City Council having to pay $5000 for tabling the minutes in the wrong order, or regional mayors having to keep pointless logs of requests to their CEOs, we can do a lot better," he said.
"Voters are back in the driver's seat with their councils, rather than bureaucrats and the State Government."
The act followed Mr Crisafulli's visits to 73 councils around the state.
"Big or small, country or city, the message was the same: stop the stupid rules and regulations," Mr Crisafulli said.
"The previous act made councils less responsive to their communities and we're restoring their power to act."

Watch One Direction Goof Off, Work Out + Perform in Hershey Park [Videos]
One Direction performed at Hershey Park in Hershey, Penn., this weekend (July 5 and July 6) -- and they had a blast doing it.
In addition to stellar performances (complete with 30,000 screaming Directioners on hand to watch), the guys had fun just goofing off in the heat. Harry Styles tossed around a football (how American!), Niall Horan cruised around on a Segway and former boxer Liam Payne worked up a sweat with some exercise and resistance bands.
During their performances, the boys were just as silly and lovable as ever. Styles purchased some cotton candy, Louis Tomlinson burned his hands playing with lights and they brought on a lot of giggles answering Twitter questions. They're so hilarious and lovable that until they start belting out their tunes, you almost forget that they can sing, too!
And don't think the hijinks ended when they started crooning, either -- check out how funny the boys are even while singing, especially Horan and Tomlinson!

In previous posts I've shown you our SuperForm test application solution structure and how the main wxs and wxi include file look like. In this post I'll show you how to automate inclusion of files to install into your build process. For our SuperForm application we have a single exe to install. But in the real world we have 10s or 100s of different files from dll's to resource files like pictures. It all depends on what kind of application you're building. Writing a directory structure for so many files by hand is out of the question. What we need...

The finished installer (at the end of the series) will be localized in 2 languages, have localized EULA check, product key validation via a custom action, updating (and killing the running app when updating) and wrapping both localized MSI's into a bootstrapper that will enable you to choose the installation language and install prerequisites like .Net framework 3.5.

According to a new report, Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer's relationship with fiancé Jeremy Calvert is on the rocks.
The latest issue of OK! Magazine states that things are very shaky with the couple, adding that they in fact broke up earlier this year, but shortly got back together.
"It's a daily struggle for them to get along right now," a source tells OK!. "He is under a lot of pressure at work and he brings it home with him."
The source continues, "They usually make up pretty quickly, but the constant bickering is really wearing on Jeremy. He's been complaining to his friends about it so much that everyone is wondering if he's going to break up with Leah permanently."
Another issue for the couple, is their lack of trust. Leah, 19, is reportedly very suspicious of Jeremy, 22 (perhaps those reports of him with strippers has to do with it) while Jeremy believes Leah's not over her ex-husband and father of her twins Corey Simms, and has accused her of still being in love with him.
"Her paranoia really stresses Jeremy out and it's pushing him away," reveals the source. "She needs to loosen up the reins a little, but the problems aren't all Leah's fault. Jeremy is a typical guy and he can be really insensitive sometimes." As reported, Leah also suffered a miscarriage earlier this year.
Moving on to troubled Teen Mom Amber Portwood, who is now reportedly considering getting into porn. Yikes.
According to Reality Weekly, Vivid Entertainment offered Amber $500,000 last year to star in a porno movie. Amber of course turned down the offer, but sources close to her are now claiming she has had a change of heart and is considering it due to her mounting legal fees.
Even worse for Amber, 21, who revealed in court that she earns $280,000 a year from MTV, the network just announced last week that the upcoming season of her Teen Mom series will be the last.
"Her paycheck from MTV only goes so far, and she's really worried it will soon all be over," a source tells Reality Weekly. "And Amber hasn't gotten any other offers as far as TV shows or promotions."
But unfortunately–or fortunately–for Amber, Vivid honcho Steve Hirsch says his company is no longer interested in having Amber display her talents on screen.
"We would not be willing to pay Amber $500,000 anymore," Vivid Entertainment CEO Steven tells the HollywoodLife. "I don't believe she is as popular as she once was. She was more of a novelty."

BANNER ELK, N.C. – The King University men's basketball team may have had to wait a couple days to avenge their only Conference Carolinas loss, but the Tornado came out on fire at Lees-McRae College on Monday night. King connected on nearly half of their three-point baskets in their 91-68 win over the Bobcats.
The Tornado (10-8, 7-1 CC) didn't waste any time getting on the board as Scottie Hendricks hit a triple only 10 seconds into the game. However, Lees-McRae (6-12, 1-7 CC) came right back and scored seven straight points to take the lead before King started to heat up from long range. Dorian Albritton connected from three to give King an 11-9 lead four minutes in.
With the Tornado trailing 14-13, Logan Lyle drained his first of six first half triples, and was fouled. He converted the four-point play to give the Tornado a 17-14 lead six minutes into the game. The Bobcats cut the deficit to two, and by three, but Lyle had an answer from three on each occasion. He nailed back-to-back triples to stretch the King lead to 32-23 with just more than nine minutes left in the half.
The Tornado then began to slowly extend their lead and Hunter LeVeau gave the King a 46-32 with consecutive triples, the second coming with 4:51 left in the first frame. Lyle followed LeVeau's second three-point basket with another, and King led 49-32. The lead grew to 19 following a pair of Drew Standifer free throws, and King led 53-35 at halftime.
King shot 55.9 percent from the floor, and 52.4 percent from three in the first half while holding the Bobcats to 42.3 and 30.0 percent.
The Tornado didn't slow down in the second half as C.J. Good started to heat up. Nearly five minutes in he drilled his first triple of the half to stretch the Tornado lead back to 17 points. Following a LeVeau layup, Good connected on consecutive three-point baskets to stretch King's lead to 68-46 with 13:29 remaining. Lyle followed with a layup that gave him a career-high 28 points with an assist to Michael Fortune.
King stretched their lead to 31 points following three straight three-point baskets by Good, Fortune and Hendricks, the last one coming with just more than 10 minutes remaining to give King a 79-48 advantage. The Bobcats cut into the King lead, but never got closer than 23 points the rest of the way as King took the game 91-68.
The Tornado shot 50.0 percent from the floor, and 48.7 percent from three while holding the Bobcats to 36.7 percent from the floor and 26.3 percent from long range.
Lyle led King with a career-high 28 points, 24 coming in the first half. Lyle went 10-for-16 from the floor, including 6-for-10 from three-point range. Good followed with 17 points, and LeVeau chipped in with 15. Lyle and LeVeau each snared a team-high six rebounds.
King is scheduled to host North Greenville University on Wednesday night at the Student Center Complex. Tipoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.

UD student teams that registered for BlueHensCAN held food drives and then competed against one another by creating sculptures out of the food items they collected. The teams had the opportunity to work on their structures all day on Tuesday in the Townsend Hall Commons, with judging taking place at 4:30 p.m.
The Medical Technology Club was able to raise 604 pounds for the Food Bank of Delaware, while the NTDT Club raised 148 pounds.
In the end, the NTDT Club took home the awards for "The Best Use of the Food Bank's Most Needed Items" and the "Best Meal." While the Medical Technology Club received the "Best Use of Labels" and the "Best in Show" awards.
There is still a chance for the participating clubs to win the "People's Choice" award, with voting taking place on the CANR Facebook Page until 4:30 p.m., Friday, March 16. The winner will be determined by the group with the most "likes" on their sculpture's photo.
The team that wins the "People's Choice" award will receive an ice cream social for their entire group at the UDairy Creamery.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 30 Democrats in the U.S. Senate called on Friday for the regulator of government-controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to direct the companies to resume contributions for affordable housing initiatives.
The senators focused on two unused funds that Congress established in 2008 to finance low-income housing with a portion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's revenue. The Federal Housing Finance Agency, the companies' regulator, suspended payments into the funds in November of that year, after the government seized the companies as mortgage losses mounted.
After suffering huge losses, the companies have turned the corner and are now seeing record profits. The 33 lawmakers, led by Democrats Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont, want the agency to resume contributing to the fund to help ameliorate a shortage of affordable housing for low-income Americans.
"The time is long overdue to lift the current suspension of contributions, and we ask your full and fair consideration of our request," the letter to newly installed FHFA Director Mel Watt said.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have taken $187.5 billion in U.S. aid since they became state wards in September 2008. They have since paid about $185.2 billion in dividends to the government thanks to a surge in the U.S. housing market.
Congress created the two housing trust funds to build a revenue source for low-income housing. The trust funds provide funds to finance new rental housing or rehabilitate existing units for families with very low incomes.
The group of Democrats cited a study from the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies that found many renters remain caught in a pinch due to falling wages and rising rents. According to the study, the country faces a shortage of nearly 5 million units that are affordable and available for extremely low-income renters.
Using the trust funds "would help ameliorate this crisis," the letter said.
President Barack Obama and lawmakers from both parties have said they want to wind down the two mortgage finance giants, which own or guarantee 60 percent of all U.S. home loans, but an overhaul process is years off.
In the meantime, their return to profitability has led to competing demands.
Nonprofit housing groups have sued the FHFA, challenging the decision to suspend payments to the trust funds, while a large hedge fund that owns preferred shares of the companies is challenging the terms of their taxpayer bailout, which requires them to sweep most of the profits into the U.S. Treasury.

There must be some sort of hot-tub time machine in the training room down at NovaCare.
A day after issuing a statement that didn't sound much like it was written by him, Michael Vick appeared on the "Mike and Mike in the Morning" ESPN radio show Tuesday to talk about how happy he is to get a reworked deal from the Eagles, one that makes him the likely 2013 starter.
Clearly, Vick thinks Kelly's offense will involve him running the ball a lot, even though every time he is asked about it, Kelly goes to great pains to explain that isn't at all what the read-option is about.
"In 2006 I ran for 1,000 yards -- and it wasn't hard," Vick said. "The only thing you have to do is train. I feel like I can still do that. To what level, I don't know, but I feel like I can do it at a high level."
The 2006 Falcons went 7-9 with Vick running for 1,039 yards, by the way. That was the only season in which Vick has played 16 games.
Even if Vick running a lot somehow were to be regarded as a positive offensive development, as we all know, he turns 33 in June and was getting chased down from behind by defensive linemen in 2012, leaving aside the six games he missed with a concussion. But Vick, who has missed 13 games in three years as the Eagles' starter, doesn't see injury as any more of an obstacle than aging. His thought process hasn't changed a bit.
"You have to be very cautious and meticulous about what you're doing on the field, but not to the point where it takes away from your game. Once you start trying not to get hurt, that's when you get hurt," Vick said. "I think what I have to do is just go out and play lights-out football, and not worry about getting hurt. I think over the last two years, I was trying to protect myself, trying to be sure that I was out on the football field with my teammates, just putting too much effort into not being injured. When you do that, it slows you down just half a second. I think when you're able to just go out and say, 'today I'm going to give it everything I've got' and leave it all out on the field, that's when you have the most success."
Vick alluded to "a whole array of things that brought me back."
Toward the end of last season, Phillymag.com's Tim McManus asked Vick about Chip Kelly, and Vick replied, "you mean the Notre Dame coach?" On "Mike and Mike," though, Vick said: "I've watched (Kelly's offense) for a long time. And I've watched Oregon have success. I know that doesn't mean it's going to correlate directly to the NFL. I just felt change was good, and I'm going to take my chances."
Vick said he is "motivated to be one of the elite quarterbacks in the league again" but "it won't happen overnight."
He said he thinks he can play "another 4 or 5 years."

Need help identifying!
Hello Everyone!
Please help me!
I have been finding the title of an anime since 2009 and I still can't find it.
I really hope that you guys are able to help me find the title.
That was my favourite japanese anime but since I watched it at a young age, I could not remember the title.
The story goes like this...
If I am not wrong, the main characters are : 3 kids (very small kids) , 2 girls and 1 boy. They are very best friends.
Each of them have their own colour to represent them. For example, 1 girl wears pink clothing, another girl wears green. While as for the boy is blue.
Then I think there are devils who wanted to harm the Pink Kid since her grandmother is don't know what, like very pro. But since they are still very young, her grandmother gave her a PINK WATCH to wear. Everytime the devils wanted to harm the pink kid, the PINK WATCH will shine itself, and a PINK big sister (like guardian angel) will arrive immediately to attack the devils and protect the PINK Kid.
Besides PINK WATCH, her grandmother still have GREEN and BLUE WATCH with the same functions (which is later on given to the best friends of the PINK kid).
And I remember that all the big sisters (or guardian angel) are actually dolls kept in a wooden box. They will only be "activated" when the kids are in danger.
Something like this.
I really LOVE this anime badly!
Someone, please help me to find the title of this anime!

There was an anime movie released recently, I remember watching it this year, but I can't remember it's name.
If I recall correctly, it starts by a boy being dead, and then, in '' heaven '', is given '' another chance '' at life.
I remember more details but I'd rather not spoil it if someone hasn't seen it as it is a great movie. I'm sure if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about. Cookies to who gets it first ;<

Anyone know who did the animation for Supercell's Perfect Day music video?
It's says Sony Music Records so I assume probably A-1. But I.G's also working with Supercell on Guilty Crown atm and I get little reminders of Makoto Shinkai from that music video as well. It's been really hard finding any animation info on this.

Help - what anime series is this?
I saw in a store a white-ish covered DVD set, on I remember some pictures of females, and most importantly it said "from the creators of Serial Experiments Lain" on the back.
I suppose its POSSIBLE it was NieA_7, but when I do image searches the pics don't look anything like what I saw (not that I've even watched the NieA_7 series) - for the box I saw looked more serious & dramatic, and it certainly wasn't texhnolyze.
Any idea? It was at a Best Buy (USA), so it couldn't have been too obscure.

I was glad to receive my sis and bro-in-laws', Jamie and Victor's, help in loading one child off me. They took Kaitlyn to watch Disney on Ice. Vic and Sis picked Kaitlyn up at 2pm. At the same time, we agreed to meet for dinner at Claypot Fun at the ECP Big Splash Playground.
I heard from Kaitlyn that GuGu bought donut for her and she has really enjoyed herself. Sis also told me that Kaitlyn was really good as well. She didn't make them buy any toys for her. That's because before she left, I reminded her not to bug Sis to buy anything… if not… we will not take her there again.
Kaitlyn was really excited about the trip. She picked her clothes the day before and even packed her own bag. I don't know what she has put in her bag until I saw these pictures. Of course the pictures were provided by Sis.
In the evening, we met up at ECP's Claypot Fun together with Gerald, Xueli and my parents-in-laws. The moment Kaiden saw Victor, he was really excited and gave him a big kiss and a big hug.
We were given a seat outside the walkway. It was breezy therefore we did not really mind about it. We ordered a few stuff. But for the kids, they could only have frog leg claypot as Kaitlyn cannot take most of the stuff on the menu due to her eczema.
The utensils used were so much like the olden days. The food is not bad I would say. Instead of the normal black sauce, Claypot Fun uses their special mixed sauce for the claypot rice. The pork liver and the fermented vegetables were also very nice.
Kaiden loved the rice that he ate three bowls all by himself. I felt so relieved that I did not have to feed him and Kaitlyn was very cooperative though she was grouchy after her nap.
See the difference in her? Happy on the way to the show, Disney on Ice, on the right and grouchy from her nap on the left. She did not even want to face the camera. 🙂
Sis and Vic, really nice of them to take Kaitlyn out. I like the picture which Kaiden and Sis took. Kaiden is so demure looking. Cannot see any devilish in him. LOL
and compared to the one I took with him ….LOL
Oh my, the gals are in ES clothings except me… Shame on me. 😦
What I wore
As seen from above, I wore a very simple outfit, white spag top and skinny. However, the look was changed by pairing with a military style jacket. The jacket was bought from BKK during one of my purchasing trip for ES. The sleeves are a bit long. Should have altered it. I am not really a jacket person, so took the opportunity of the cooling weather on that day to put it on.
Online Reviews
Agneselle is not a blogshop I would usually shop. This maybe due to the sizing of their clothes. The model, Pei Ling, is really skinny, about UK 6 and they actually made the clothes according to her sizing. The Grecian top comes in the dress version as well which I have it in lovely blue. The zipper is not really smooth and person with bigger ribcage may have difficult wearing it. It does squeeze a little of armpit fats. 😦 However, nothing could stop me from getting it. Highly raved for and so pretty.Just a note, their clothes are also usually sold out with 2 minutes. One of the highly sought blogshops with all self manufactured pieces.
Another piece from Bonitochico. I am basically a BC fan. Love their clothes as the model has the same sizing as me. Love this top very much. The flutter sleeves and oversized covered all my flaws. 😉 The only draw back is the sheernees of the top. Maybe that is why an inner is provided. The top also comes with a belt; however, I do not really like the belt and used my own belt instead.
A top from Hollyhoque. The top does not really gave me a 'wow' feel as compared to the BC oversized top. I must admit that the model, Joyce, carried the top very well and thus tempted me to buy it. It's a square neck top and colour definitely is not purple as stated in the website. It should be kind of maroon or liver red. A very comfortable piece and great for casual wear.

Hysterectomy QuestionsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
When considering a hysterectomy, ask your health professional:
- What other treatments are available? Will they cure your problem or do they only relieve the symptoms?
- How long can you wait before treating the problem? Will it get worse without treatment?
- What are the risks and benefits of each treatment?
- Are there any materials, such as videos or pamphlets, available that can help you make a decision about whether to have a hysterectomy?
If you are told you need a hysterectomy, ask:
- What type of hysterectomy is usually done for the problem you have?
- Do you need to have your ovaries removed?
- How long will the surgery take? Will you be asleep during surgery? How will your pain be treated after surgery? When will you be able to get out of bed, go home, return to your usual activities, resume sex?
- What are the side effects, complications, and risks of the surgery?
- Are there any pamphlets you can read that explain the procedure? Can you talk with other women who have had this surgery?
The hospital or surgery center may send you instructions on how to get ready for your surgery. Or a nurse may call you with instructions before your surgery.
Right after surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area where nurses will care for and observe you. You will likely stay in the recovery area for 1 to 4 hours, and then you will be moved to a hospital room. In addition to telling you about any special instructions from your doctor, your nurse will explain information to help you in your recovery.

Posted on April 7, 2010
As long as we're celebrating things this year (well, WHY aren't you? Got something against champagne?) I would like to note that this coming summer marks the 40th anniversary of a moment I doubt my parents understood would be significant in American history. The actual date eludes me at the moment, but let's let it rest at this: at some point in mid-1970, I was given my first typewriter.
I could wax philosophical about this device, a cast iron 1940 model L.C. Smith which made it possible for me to communicate at greater speed and without forcing people to decipher my handwriting, which launched a collection of rejection slips of mighty proportions (#5,000 should be in my mailbox around Halloween), and which kept me going until the Internet came along and I could reach the pinnacle to which every writer aspires: a blog. But I will not do so. I can't have the greater Internet community knowing that a private citizen owns a collection of rejection slips that starts with one bearing a TEN CENT STAMP. I'd need to add bars to the windows and invest in attack chihuahuas.
Instead, I shall discourse on donations of typewriters to the Book Fair. We have not had as many as you might think. I was fortunate enough to duck a suggestion made a couple of years ago that we establish an Obsolete Technology section at the Book Fair. I understand the fascination of the idea, but I have enough trouble storing books without taking on your calculators, adding machines, and land line phones. As a matter of fact, we've been given more adding machines than we've been given typewriters. Still, I have learned things about typewriters from the few we have been given.
They do not sell. This is not the fault of the typewriters, but of the donors, who just cannot give them away until they are, in fact, unusable. I have a 1913 typewriter which would work if you replace a cast-iron bar in the back. (I checked; Ace does not stock spare parts for 1913 typewriters.) I was given a typewriter in which paper will not turn (okay if you want to type just one line). And I was once given a beautiful portable typewriter in what the donor forgot to mention was a faulty case. Picked up the handle, the case broke open, and the typewriter shattered on the concrete of the receiving room floor.
Children still adore manual typewriters. Typewriters clack. They click. You press a key and a piece of metal shoots toward the paper. If you press ten keys, ten pieces of metal jump upin a tangle. If you press really hard, the metal jumps faster and harder. There is something in this analog motion which gives joy a computer keyboard, try as it might, cannot duplicate. (You can, I'm sure, buy an app which will make your keyboard sound like a typewriter, but it ain't the same.)
Most people, having taken a typewriter out of its case, cannot get it to fit back in on the first three tries. This includes me.
There are three kinds of people: the ones who, finding a typewriter and paper, will type "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", the ones who will type "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party", and those who will type the first obscenity that comes to mind (and those aren't exactly more new and interesting than the other two sentences.) There are a few anomalies who go for "When in the course of human events" or "Four score and seven years ago", but otherwise….
Oh, wait. There is a fourth kind of person: the ones who ask, "I've seen one of these before, but where does the 8-track go in?"

10 Colorful Salads for Thanksgiving
You've bought your turkey and picked your stuffing recipe. Pies are in the works and the potatoes are waiting to be scrubbed. What's left? ...Salad! This is perhaps the one dish of the whole Thanksgiving feast that doesn't come laden with tradition, so let's have fun with it! This year, we're bringing some color to the table. From this vibrant red cabbage salad to a warm millet salad studded with oranges, we have ten ideas for salads that pop.
We've developed something of a Kitchn tradition of spotlighting salads just before Thanksgiving every year. (Here's our round-up from last year!) With all the attention on the turkey and the pie, we think the humble salad deserves a little love. After all, it's nice to have at least one thing that doesn't come with a stick of butter and that adds some bright color to our plates!
The salads in this year's round-up are not only striking to look at, but they are some of our favorites from the past few months. There's a tossed barley salad with golden beets and rainbow chard along with a pale shaved fennel salad made bright with roasted cherry tomatoes. We also have a simple salad of emerald-green kale and another with chickpeas, red onion, and a squeeze of lemon. If you want a make-ahead salad, look to our chopped brown rice salad with grapes and pecans or our sorghum salad with spiced butternut squash.
As you're wrapping up your menu planning, we hope you find some inspiration here. And above all, we hope you have a very happy and delicious Thanksgiving.
