I don't know where to begin when it comes to writing about this bike. Part of it is because I have a bit of a writer's block, another part is because there's just simply too much to say about this custom build. I'll try to keep it simple as I don't want our bike features to sound too technical, but I really want to properly document the beauty of the bikes we feature. So I'll try my best to find the medium, let's just go straight to it. This is a Festka Asphalt, built to order for Alejandro Camogli.
Alejandro aka "Ale" is originally from Argentina and travels to and from Miami regularly during the winter. Since we have one of the best winter seasons, a lot of cyclists from abroad tend to spend time here. I met Ale through his brother, Alfredo, whom I met back in early 2016 while out on a ride around Key Biscayne. Fast forward to late last year when the Rapha Miami pop-up opened and I got a chance to ride with both of them during the grand opening ride of the store. Doing most of my cycling in Miami proper, it was no coincidence that Ale, Alfredo and I had mutual friends.
It was through those mutual connections, Diego Tosoni pictured above, that I came to know Ale had recently gotten a custom built Festka Asphalt. I didn't want to miss the opportunity to shoot this bike, so we got together one past morning and took some photos for a Morning Ride feature.
Festka is a bespoke frame builder based out of the Czech Republic, producing top quality framesets in titanium, carbon and steel. They've come to be revered in the bike industry for their awesome paint schemes. But it's not only from an aesthetic perspective that the company gets it's recognition, it's also from the loads of options that they give their customers. From frame material as mentioned before, to standard and custom geometries. Festka buyers have options at every step of the way. With the end result being a completely custom bike built specifically for it's owner.
Ale's frameset is titanium and put together with SRAM Red E-tap. Sram's E-tap is the completely wireless component offering from the company.
It was my first time seeing it in detail, and it was pretty awesome just looking at the rear derailuer hanging with no cables attached whatsoever. On a CNC one-piece hanger btw, one of the options of the Festka frame.
Since the bike was built specifically for E-Tap, there's no front or rear deraileur cable frame passages. This bike can only work with a completely wireless component group. Which as of now is only from Sram.
Finishing off the build is a set of Zipp 404s with Vittoria Corsa G+ tires. Arundel bottle cages and Fabric saddle.
As for the ride, Ale says that the bike has a great balance of comfort and stiffness. Titanium is the perfect medium, stiff and light like carbon or aluminum, yet smooth like steel. Ale mentioned the bike does not disappoint and sees himself riding it in all sorts of roads and conditions.
Ale plans on taking this beauty back to Argentina and taking on plenty of rides around the globe during his travels. His other bike is a Trek Madone 9, and now he's going to deal with a great problem to have. Which bike to ride!?
Until next time!

Mr. Allan N. Ngugi Chairman, Board of Trustees
Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) was built through Harambee effort by the local people and some generous donations from two Protestant church organizations; I.C.C.O. of Netherlands and E.Z.E. of Germany. Our fore-fathers, the KIST founders had a vision; to build an institution, which would be a centre of excel-lence in Technical, and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), an institution of excellence that would provide the best training for secondary school graduates whose passion was to enrich this country with competent skills for national growth. KIST has done this for the last 40 years (since 1973) and we have proof of this from the many successful graduates of KIST. Among them is the current Principal KIST, cur-rent Principal Thika TTI, Business Men and Women, Con-tractors in Building and Civil, Electrical and Electronics experts, Bakers in the bread industry among others. As the BOT, Kiambu County stakeholders, our well wishers and collaborating partners will continue to do our best in ensuring that the original vision of KIST founders is sustained and enhanced in ensuring that KIST fulfils its mandate now and in the future. We aim at establishing a modern Technology and Innova¬tion University while retaining and improving the current KIST into a National Polytechnic to continue providing professional practical skills based courses at Certificate and Diploma TVET levels. We foresee KIST growing into a globally competitive Polytechnic offering unique practical oriented courses that meet the demand of the industry, producing graduates of value, who are knowledgeable, competent with required skills and socially responsible citizens, graduates who know that Kenya as a nation will grow and compete inter-nationally only if each of us play our roles effectively.

Suffolk court closures 'cutting the bone', says magistrate
Cutbacks to the courts service in Suffolk are now "cutting the bone" and are as low as they can get, according to a magistrate.
Two courts have closed in the county since 2011.
Graham Higgins, a Bury St Edmunds magistrate of 25 years, said further cuts would cause people to have "great difficulty" in getting to court.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: "We have to make savings and close down facilities which are underused."
Mr Higgins put his case to Mr Grayling on Wednesday during his visit to Ipswich Crown Court.
Mr Grayling said "tough decisions" had to be made.
"Across the court system we're seeing a fall in the number of cases, fewer people entering the criminal justice system and less demand," he said.
"Therefore we have around the country empty court rooms."
In 2011, Sudbury Magistrates' Court and Lowestoft County Court were closed and there are fears more small courts could be shut in future.
Suffolk now has just three magistrates' courts, in Bury, Ipswich and Lowestoft.
Mr Higgins said Bury had now taken on cases from Sudbury and Thetford, in Norfolk, adding to the strain.
"I think we've got to the stage now where we are cutting the bone - the local justice is as low as it can get for a county like Suffolk," he said.
"We now only have three courts on the very corners of Suffolk and there are very strong rumours that there could be another quarter of the courts closed around the country.
"If there are further court closures which are needed economically, how is he going to cope with justice still being local and people being able to get to court in rural areas like Suffolk?"
Mr Higgins added transport links for defendants and witnesses were expensive and infrequent and morale among court staff was as low as he could remember.

In his first address to Congress (and the Americans watching), President Trump sounded so promising when he touted he would "promote clean air and clean water."
Guess he conveniently forgot that just hours before that statement, he had signed an executive order to roll back a 2015 "Clean Water Rule." NOT a promising claim, in my humble opinion.

Division: Spine
Category: Cervical
The BENGAL® Cervical Interbody System is a radiolucent carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) cage that meets the structural requirements of anterior column support, while optimizing the fusion environment through an open, load-sharing design.
The BENGAL System is the radiolucent cervical interbody cage that optimizes the fusion environment because it is made of load-sharing carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) which allows a large graft window.
The BENGAL System is indicated for use as an intervertebral body fusion device in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies) at one level of the cervical spine with accompanying radicular symptoms. Patients should have six weeks of non-operative treatment prior to surgery. BENGAL implants are used to facilitate fusion in the cervical spine (C2-T1) and are placed via an anterior approach using autogenous bone. When used as an interbody fusion device, DePuy Synthes Spine supplemental fixation products may be used.
The BENGAL System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (i.e., T1-L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. This system is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. This system is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. When used as a vertebral body replacement device this system is intended for use with DePuy Synthes Spine supplemental internal fixation products.

Being a great leader is not something that comes naturally to everyone, in fact very few people possess the natural ability to lead and the rest of us have to work hard on our skills to be a leader. Fortunately, most of the skills required to be a strong leader can be learned and practiced until it is right and if you want to be a great leader then now is the time to start working on improving your leadership abilities.
There are many benefits to being a great leader, both professionally and personally, in business, great leadership skills can take you to the top of your industry, you could even become a CEO like Patrick Imbardelli if you work hard enough. If you feel like you need to brush up on your leadership skills then here are some ways in which you can do it.
Self Evaluate
The key to working out where your weaknesses lie and where you need to improve as a leader, it is important that you run a self evaluation, a sort of 'looking in the mirror' type of test that can help you identify your areas that need to be strengthened. Ask yourself the following questions and answer them honestly, if the answers are not what you would expect from a leader then that is how you'll know where you need to get better.
Do You Learn From Others?
Even though you may be in a leadership position, you should never stop learning from others, never think that you cannot improve on the way in which you lead. Seek out other leaders and watch how they approach leadership, there are always skills that others display that you can learn from and this is a great way to help you to improve.
Are You a Positive Role Model?
As a leader, people will look to you for many things, one of the things that they look for in a leader is positivity, a can-do attitude that will inspire those who you are leading. If you allow negativity to creep into what you are doing then that will cascade down through those beneath you, this will neither inspire nor encourage those that are looking to you for leadership.
How do You Give Feedback?
A simple rule of thumb to follow when giving feedback is to be fast when giving praise and slow when giving criticism. Giving praise when it is due encourages people and helps them to stay focussed and giving constructive and criticism is not about scolding people when they have done something wrong, it is about working with them to learn from their mistakes and be better.
How Good are Your Communication Skills?
One of the keys to great leadership is communication, being able to both give it in a clear and concise manner and being able receive it through careful listening. If you wish to be a successful leader then those beneath you need to be fully aware of what your intentions are and the only way you can do that without problems is through crystal clear communication.

How to Become an Executive Assistant in 5 Steps
Explore the career requirements for an executive assistant. Get the facts about education, key skills, salary, and potential job growth to determine if this is the right career for you. Schools offering Administrative Assistant degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
What is an Executive Assistant?
An executive assistant provides a range of support services to administrators, usually those at a high level in a business or other organization. In this job, you'll manage schedules and make travel arrangements. You might also organize and prioritize letters, emails and faxes, as well as control personal and phone access to an executive. Your duties may also include supervising clerical staff and preparing documents.
Consider the information in the following table to determine if a career as an executive assistant is right for you.
|Education Required
|High school diploma
|Key Skills
|Interpersonal, organizational, and writing
|Job Growth (2014-2024)
|-6% for all executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants*
|Median Salary (2015)
|$53,370 for all executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants*
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Step 1: Earn a High School Diploma
High school-level courses in English, computers, economics and mathematics provide general knowledge that you can apply in an office environment. In addition, some schools have programs that teach typing and other office administration skills. Any expertise you can develop with productivity applications such as word processors, spreadsheets and presentation software is especially helpful.
Step 2: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
Ideally, you would have a degree in a field related to your employer's business, but a bachelor's degree in business administration will prepare you for office work in the widest number of settings. Programs acquaint you with the major functions that support a business organization, including accounting, finance, human resource management, information management and operations management. You will learn to use computer technology, analyze and solve business problems and communicate effectively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
Step 3: Gain Employment
Government agencies, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, corporations or any private company large enough to require an administrative hierarchy are your potential employers. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported in 2014 that 776,600 people were employed as executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants (www.bls.gov). By 2024, employment is expected to decrease 6% to 732,000, the BLS stated. This decrease is due to the fact that managers in organizations are now completing the duties that executive assistants usually complete.
Step 4: Obtain Certification as an Executive Secretary
You have several certification options once you've established yourself. The International Association of Administrative Professionals offers two options, the Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) and the Certified Administrative Professional (CAP). To be eligible, you need at least two years of experience. The CPS and CAP exams test your knowledge of organization and planning, records management, financial functions and human resources.
If you're an executive assistant at a law firm, your options include the Professional Legal Secretary (PLS) from NALS (formerly the National Association of Legal Secretaries) and the Certified Legal Secretary Specialist (CLSS) from Legal Secretaries International. You need three years of experience to be eligible for the PLS exam, which tests your knowledge of written communication, office procedures, law and ethics. The CLSS credential requires five years of experience and passage of an exam in one of six specialty areas - civil, criminal, business, intellectual property or probate law.
Step 5: Advance Your Career
Rising to an executive assistant position will require some time and initiative on your part. Develop proficiency with the company's software and learn as much about its operations, customers, competitors and industry as you can. Take part in workshops, seminars and other training opportunities that help you hone your communication skills. Demonstrate competence in the tasks you're assigned.
What Are Some Related Alternative Careers?
Those interested in a similar career may consider becoming a secretary or receptionist, which requires a high school diploma or postsecondary training. These professionals work in a variety of settings, and must also be highly organized and have good communication skills. Job duties for both secretaries and receptionists may include answering phones, greeting visitors, scheduling appointments and answering phone calls.

Timing really is everything
Kate and Will's royal wedding ceremony was a great example of how timing makes a big difference. When it comes to the timing of music to generate emotional moments, these pros nailed it. Now let's just say you don't have access to The State Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry to announce your arrival. No matter. The point is the music selections, as old school as it comes, and Kate's processional, as slow as we've seen, were timed to coincide beautifully. Having your ceremony musicians at your rehearsal and asking them to edit the music as required, can help you achieve the same result.
Personal wedding websites
The world's most popular personal wedding website, officialroyalwedding2011.org, is not a template we commoners should be following. My editors and I checked Kate and Will's official wedding website regularly so we could learn every detail, but for couples, revealing so much information before your event can make the actual event a bit of a snooze for your guests.
Instead, the goal of your wedding website should be to provide useful resources for guests—directions, hotel options, local cars and cabs, and a general outline of the day, or weekend activities. It should feel personal, reflect your story as a couple, and share appropriate information about the key people in your lives or in your wedding party. The one thing we liked about the royal wedding website was their tastefully "hidden" request for donations in lieu of gifts. Your list of wedding registries should be equally out of sight when visitors first arrive at your wedding website.
Sexism is alive and well
I must admit I was rather surprised at the dramatic hand off of Kate from her father to her husband. Personally, I've never loved this "Who gives this woman?" part of a traditional Christian ceremony. But if Kate liked the idea, why not have her Mom (sorry, her Mum) there to also "give her away" considering she was an equal in raising her?
Kate's dad's lifting up her hand and giving it to Will, just felt wrong to me. I got over it until they were pronounced "Man and wife"! Huh? How about husband and wife?
This huge event with 2 billion viewers was an opportunity to delete from our culture some of the "wedding traditions" that are rooted in the (patriarchal—and not-too-distant) past. In particular, the very real, yet-to-be vanquished idea of women being the property of men. We say we should fight against acts of sexism in other parts of the world, yet when we include them in our own lives, in a very important event, we call it "tradition." This may be something to think about as you plan your ceremony, even if you don't change a word.
Bridesmaids in white?
Let's take a quick look at what bridesmaids are all about. Way back in ye olden days, a bride was a very valuable commodity because of her dowry and other payments her family had to make to the groom for taking her into his fold. So brides were often the victims of kidnapping. (Like they didn't have enough to worry about?) In an effort to confuse would-be thieves and camouflage the bride, her female friends and family dressed in clothing similar to the bride's.
The royal tradition of including young girls from family friends as bridesmaids makes sense—these folks had some serious security. But we were delighted to also see an adult attendant, Kate's sister Pippa, in white. We've been predicting the return of white bridesmaids dresses for a while now, and hope that vision of loveliness will inspire brides to dress their bridesmaids in similar attire.
The Dress
Love it or hate it, Kate's dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen was a fabulous example of the power of a perfect fit. Even if the dress's style bored or disappointed you, you had to admit it was flawlessly executed. Personally, I loved it. I'm pleased to see the return to simple, classic gowns on the bridal fashion runways, but the magic here was not just the design, it was the impeccable tailoring. Brides today have a huge number of gown options from designers who understand a modern woman—not the case 15 years ago. Now you lucky women can find any style you love and should spend your valuable time and money to get a perfectly tailored fit. No hiking up the sliding strapless gown, puckering seams, and fallen straps. Hire a seamstress or tailor to get it right on your body and no matter who made it or where you bought it, it will look equally flawless.
Unwanted guests
We've all got them. The parents' college friends you've never met. Business associates you've never even heard of. Not to mention the list of must-invites that you know well and worry will make you, or someone else, uncomfortable. They're the ones who drink too much, can't keep their opinions to themselves for a few hours, or are likely to cause the police to show up at the reception site. Kate and Will had a number of them including the ambassador of a violent dictator who was uninvited at the last minute. They did not invite Will's aunt, Sarah Ferguson since she has a tendency to make a scene (and sell access to her ex-husband Prince Andrew), but her daughters made up for the slight, directing all eyes on themselves by wearing truly obnoxious hats (Beatrice) or clothing (Eugenie).
Kate and Will's invite list was a good lesson in seeing past your own concerns with the confidence that no one has the power to ruin your wedding day—except you. Sometimes "well, it's important to the family, we just have to do it" is actually the right way to look at the situation. Because a wedding is not just for you to get married, that's what the marriage bit is for. A wedding is for your family and friends—weirdos and all—to celebrate the union.

July Business Spotlight – Fleet Feet
Meet Shawn Marlovits, owner of Fleet Feet Sports in Hoboken. Shawn has shown his unwavering dedication to TRUE Mentors and its Teen Internship Program. Since the spring of 2014, he's provided four Hoboken students an internship within his athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories store. By assigning marketing and business-focused projects, Shawn has witnessed each intern advance in terms of professionalism, business knowledge, and confidence. His last intern came onboard while the company was revamping its website. Shawn tasked the intern with updating the data from Fleet Feet's old website, categorizing it, and integrating it into the new website, ensuring accuracy of brand and product names, while determining if each product was the most current version available. The intern was challenged with managing a large amount of data and staying organized using an Excel spreadsheet. The intern started off with a quiet demeanor, unsure of his ability to complete the task, but by the end his confidence grew, and he successfully completed the project. Other projects Shawn has assigned have centered around internal process improvements and customer database management. Shawn is extremely impressed by the level of sophistication and professionalism the interns exude, especially as they progress in the internship. They shake his hand to greet him, never fail to communicate ahead of time if a scheduling conflict arises, and seem to want be there. One of Fleet Feet's hard-working interns demonstrated enthusiasm when eagerly updating the display windows any chance she could. She'd even bring her friends by the next day to show off her diligent efforts. Shawn recognized her dedication and gladly offered her a job, following the completion of her internship. "It's an awesome program, especially for local-minded businesses," Shawn said. "It's really not a huge commitment. I think the kids greatly benefit, and we do too. For example, we asked an intern to create something simple to help us with some organizational processes. The intern went above and beyond to deliver a poster that we still use today."
If you know of a business that might want to participate in the 2017-2018 Teen Internship Program, please email [email protected] or call 201-540- 8783 for more information.

Captivating story telling by Rob Caskie on the race to the South Pole at the Knysna Literary Festival.
Wind buffeting the studio. Waters of the lagoon, seething. Perfect for Boeuf Bourguignon, made with oxtail. A tasty starter of Turkish figs with Gorgonzola wrapped in Parma ham.
With sweat coated glasses, I could not distinguish where the holes were on the decent down Phantom Pass. My fingers chilled by the wind. Brake pads near red hot as they tried to slow my momentum. Surprisingly, after the strain they took going up the pass, my legs had the bicycle moving so fast that I almost overshot the track that turns off the road to Red Bridge. Amazing what a howling wind from behind does!
Lesa and Alan arrived for their holiday at Wilderness, where we stayed for a night in their house amongst the dunes. Wooden walkways through the tree tops an adventure playground. With my strained groin muscle I didn't do the gazillion steps down to the beach. Not that the rain made a beach walk attractive.
'Knysna's Finest', portrait of the herbalist who has a table on the odd occasion amongst the fruit and vegetable vendors near the taxi rank. His dreads piled up under a beanie in the traditional Rasta colours. The angles of his hair, and how the planes of his face were at odds with his smile gave me a hard time composing a portrait that was true to his character and still looked visually correct.
I started with the background, using the symbolic colours in Rastafari beliefs and then worked through his dark eyes to the rest of the portrait. Given the Rasta philosophy of wholeness and the body as a temple, I looked to create a flow of harmony and peace through the portrait.
Yellow Ochre and Burnt Sienna as the base colours of his face, with a dark mix of ultramarine blue and madder deep. Naples Yellow and touches of Sap Green in his eyes, with burnt umber for the irises.
Shoes (the polished leather sort) socks and a jacket for the Cat Simoni show. Great entertainment and while the food wasn't brilliant, it was a great evening.
Dashes of paint across the canvas for my painting 'A Wild Day'. Splotches without detail, allowing imagination to interpret figures, sea and the dogs running on the beach. A restful painting that carriers one along the endless beach walks.
The three small elephant paintings are sold and two of the sold portraits have been couriered to their new homes.

KPC-SGN Day 2: Banteay Srei - The Citadel of Women
Makara was our driver for the second day too. So, our first stop was Banteay Srei - The Citadel of Women. Banteay Srei was a 10th century Khmer temple decicated to the Hindu god Shiva and was originally called "Tribhuvanamahesvara" (Great Lord of the Threefold World). It was built largely of red sandstone with many decorative carvings on it's wall and that was what making it so distinctive among all the other Angkor's temples. That really makes it so popular among the tourists these days especially for photographers who wanted to snap the best shot out of Banteay Srei - Sun rise. That was said to be one of the best picture you are able to get at Angkor ruins. The reflection of Banteay Srei on the pool of water by the temple will turn to slight pink with the gentle light when sun rises up from the horizon. Well, we did not manage to arrive as early as 6am for sun rise. No luck for us to have seen such an amazing view.
First Sight on Banteay Srei:
Beautiful wall carvings:
By the way, Banteay Srei was not a big temple though, 1 hour is definitely enough for this place. On our way back to Angkor ruins from Banteay Srei, Makara was hard selling one of their local candies - Palm Sugar to us. According to him, local cambodians used to have afternoon tea together with the Palm Sugar as dessert. So one seep of coffee and one bite of palm sugar makes a perfect Cambodian high tea! So what exactly is palm sugar?
A Palm Tree:
It was actually made of palm juice, which was collected fresh from a palm tree and cook under mild fire to make the water evaporated left with a thickhen liquid in gel form. The gel was then put into mold made of palm leaves in a round shape and left to cool down to crystalize and form a round shape kind of rock sugar. It tasted a bit like our Brown Sugar (Gula Melaka) but not as sweet as that.
Fresh Palm Juice:
End product being wrapped up into a roll with dried palm leaves. Each roll is containing 10 pieces of candies.
To let us taste the fresh juice from the palm tree, Makara stopped us at one of the local ministry's house where one of his friends was working at. He climbed up one of the palm trees in the garden and show us how locals collect the fresh palm juice from the branches. He was really quick and I was guessing he used to do that a lot before he came to city to work as a driver. You are just so Cool Mr. Makara :p... The palm juice was served fresh to us for free of charge. It tasted so fresh and sweet like sugar cane. According to Makara, his friend had business with him so these drinks were on her treat as to thanks Makara for bringing her business. Wow, I felt so lucky to be invited as a special guest here in a ministry's house. Our Grand Angkor tour continued with the places as described below.
Pre Rup, it was said to be a temple to hold funeral ceremony for the royals during Angkor empire.
Angkor view from the peak of Pre Rup temple.
East Mebon:
Some local kids loitering around the East Mebon ruin. I was so surprised to find out that they know lots of foreign languages - japs, viets, chinese and malay! I really had fun with those kids and one even played tic tac toe with me which I lost in the end =.= . Sigh, I always know that I am lousy in mind/strategic games. You will not be able to truely understand the real Cambodian culture and living until you really spend time with the locals. I really would like to spend more time with those kids there but due to tight tour schedule I had to leave within half an hour time. But the 30 minutes we spent together was enough to re-educate me the meaning of life and how simple we could be. I would not want to explain much here about my feeling here and would rather compose another post about my feelings towards these people.
Neak Pean - The legendary pool said with magical water that can heal all kind of diseases:
Preah Khan, the building was streching some 250-300 metres right through the other end with a door every 3-5 metres. The center part of the building was collapsing and we had to route to the right hand side of the building to get pass the fallen stone blocks. It was so dark at the middle part of the building and you are advised to go in a group of 2 at least. It was kinda creepy inside it especialy when there were not many people around. Well, right from my heart that I know I don't really like this place.
Tree was chopped to prevent it from further damaging the ruin.
We ended our tour ahead of the scheduled time as we did not really spend much time to look at those ruins in detail. Well I guess that was because we seen too much of falling stones in Angkor ruins, so our eyes got a bit tired with them. As everyone was too tired to continue with sunset at Angkor Wat, so Makara drove us to Central Market backed at Siem Reap town on our request. Central Market was a market that selling local products for tourists as souvenirs. The prices of items being sold there were marked up as tourist's price - expensive! Well, it was not a big market though. So we just spent like 30 minutes to walk around the market without buying anything. It was already 6 in the evening, so Makara sent us back to guest house and that ended our second day tour.
While the ladies decided to bath before dinner, I was walking with a mate to the night market. The night market was just right opposite the junction off our guest house, 2 minutes walk. It was not a big market but rather small and most of the people there were locals. My stomach was growling of hunger as I took only light lunch - fried noodles. So when I saw the grilled chicken in the night market, my mouth couldn't stop watering :). Yea, without thinking too much on whether the food was good for my stomach, I quickly grab of of it and pay the store owner - 1USD. Wow! That was so damn cheap! Half chicken costs only 1 USD! The taste of the grilled chicken was not as good as those I have tasted before but I couldn't complain much as it was so cheap and it really filled my stomach FULL. So nothing in this world would be better than that.
Cambodian Dessert:
After dinner, we walked to the pub street into the Temple Restaurant for it's free Aspara Dancing Show - traditional Khmer Dancing. Well, I don't really into dancing art. So it was more like a dancing show to me and I was enjoying something else there - Angkor beer. Hahaha, I am not a heavy drinker but as beer was kinda cheap there so I do the western way to clear away my heatiness (after exposing myself to long hours "sun bath" for 2 days) with lots of beer in my stomach :).
A wonderful day!

Review of SUPER SELF DEFENSE – 15 min
The lovely Super-Heather decides to show off some of her moves with a special self-defense video. She's got Pocahontas Jones and Serena Voxx to help out. They both seem very willing to be her practice dummies. Heather talks us through a good number of 1 on 2 KOs, but just as she starts to close the video, her two assistants pull out a shard of kryptonite that quickly weakens the superheroine. Serena and Pocahontas take turns, taking shots at Heather. When they KO the take her cape and stockings, then wake her up for one more KO, leaving the kryptonite as a parting gift on the sleeping heroine's belly.
This is a great idea that gives a normal superheroine vid just a little twist. Instead of just having two attacker who can't put up a fight till the kryptonite comes into the play, They willing get defeated till the have an opportunity to strike back. It makes it a little more surprising. The selling here is good, a little exaggerated and a little silly. It works well with Heather talking like she leading an aerobics class and that the prefect way for her to deliver it. Also we have some more superpower tricks here. I think you can't go wrong with superpowers. Overall, this is a fun superheroine vid, plenty of well sold KOs, a defeated overconfident superheroine and a good use of superpowers.
Overall Score: 8/10

In the bitter cold of Scotstoun Stadium, Saints produced a performance and a result to warm the hearts of their supporters.
Plenty had made the trip up to Glasgow, perhaps more in hope than expectation.
Or perhaps it was just because Glasgow is a good night out.
But whatever they came for, they were rewarded by a group of players who simply refuse to fret about reputations.
Glasgow, as the likes of Leinster and Ulster have in recent years, adopted the favourites tag for this Champions Cup clash with Saints.
And Glasgow, as the likes of Leinster and Ulster have in recent years, found themselves outplayed and outfought by Jim Mallinder's men.
When it was said they wouldn't get a result in Dublin, they did.
And when it was said they wouldn't get a result in Belfast, they did.
And history repeated itself at Scotstoun.
Glasgow, the Guinness Pro12 champions, let us not forget, had won their past six matches when hosting an English side in clup rugby's premier European competition.
Saints had suffered at their hands before, conceding a late Peter Horne try as the Warriors snatched victory in January 2013.
But then Saints needed a victory and a bonus point to progress to the quarter-finals.
This time, they just wanted to back up their opening-night success against Scarlets.
And, as it unfolded, they were to do it in some style.
Every single player who put the shirt on contributed in a positive manner.
From Alex Waller at No.1, to Ben Foden at No.15 - Saints were superb.
It was the team performance they have been craving in the formative stage of the season as the forwards stood tall and the backs broke down the Warriors wall.
It was the performance Saints fans knew their side could produce - those nights in Dublin and Belfast being the evidence.
But with those matches so far back (and a few pints drunk after them blurring the memory a little), they sought a reminder.
And they got a striking one in Glasgow on Saturday night.
Saints now sit top of Pool 3, with the potentially decisive double-header against Racing 92 to come next monnth.
That is all that could be asked from the players, but the fact they also denied Glasgow a losing bonus point on their own turf is a fantastic fillip.
Saints deserved everything they got from their trip to Scotstoun.
And they certainly earned the celebratory post-match pints.
Now they will look to take the momentum into Aviva Premiership matters and put right their lowly league standing.
But, for now, that is for another day.
First, it is about savouring a special display in Glasgow.
And savouring another one of those special European nights involving Northampton Saints.
How they rated...
Fantastic performance from the full-back, whose superb break and grubber kick created Ahsee Tuala's crucial second try... 8
Maybe a slightly surprising call to start him ahead of Jamie Elliott on the wing, but he more than justified it with a superb two-try showing... 8
Admitted earlier in the week that he had been below par this season, but he wasn't here, putting in a strong display and scoring Saints' first try... 8
Sin-binning was a minor blot on his copybook as he produced another power-packed display... 7
Saw a lot of the action happen on the other wing, but he used his power when he needed to on a big night for the Saints backs... 7
Controlled things superbly and kicked brilliantly from the tee, once again showing how valuable he is to the team... 8
Came off at half-time, but had done well up to then, helping Saints keep their foot on the accelerator... 7
Is stamping his mark on the Saints No.1 shirt and others will struggle to take it from him judging by his most recent performances... 8
One bad pass aside, the hooker once again showed his worth on a big European night, earning praise from Dorian West after one big scrum before the break... 7
Was once again a key part of a big forward effort and the England man has really settled in well to life at Saints... 8
The experienced performer used all of his knowledge to help Saints stifle Glasgow, putting the squeeze on up front... 7
So, so vital to the Saints team, the lock was a huge presence throughout the game as he steered his pack around the park... 8
Such a valuable asset, Leicester Tigers will bemoaning the loss of this man as he put in another assured display... 8
Has really relished the big European nights and this was another example of his grit and class... 8
A huge figure for Saints, the No.8 covered so much ground and caused Glasgow problems with his sheer strength... 8
Replacements (who played more than 20 minutes)
KAHN FOTUALI'I (for Dickson 40)
The Samoan's clever kicking game helped gain vital territory and he wasn't bad with ball in hand, either... 7

Dushow Invests in RoboSpots
Dushow, one of France's leading technical production companies, has invested in 20 of Robe's RoboSpot remote follow spotting systems.Dushow's commercial director Christian Lorenzi commented, "We see this as a big innovation in the follow spotting world. It's very flexible and gives everyone involved in staging all types of shows many more options". The RoboSpot system comprises a BaseStation and a MotionCamera that communicate via DMX with no latency and enable several of Robe's most popular moving lights – including, currently, the BMFL Spot, BMFL Blade, BMFL WashBeam, DL7S Profile, DL4S Profile, MegaPointe and Pointe – to be controlled from anywhere in a venue or space.
The RoboSpot MotionCamera is available either as a separate unit or integrally on the BMFL Follow Spot fixture, a modified version of Robe's signature high powered luminaire. A video stream sent to the BaseStation allows the operator a 'first person view' of the performers onstage. This can enhance the look of the show or presentation by enabling very tight and controlled spotlight beams and enables LDs, designers and show directors to position follow spots in positions where it would not be practical or physically possible to have an operated follow spot.The 20 x Dushow BaseStations and 20 x MotionCameras – each of which, using the latest software release, can control up to six Robe fixtures – were purchased for three specific tours, and will now be available in rental stock.
Lighting designer Thomas Dechandon utilised three RoboSpot BaseStations to control six BMFL Blades (running in conjunction with 6 x separate MotionCameras) on the most recent tour by legendary French rockers Indochine. For French singer / songwriters Vianney's tour, LDs Alex Bucher and Benjamin Gottini used a RoboSpot base station to control a single BMFL Follow Spot (with the MotionCamera camera on-board). On the Shaka Ponk tour, lighting designer Alex Bucher specified a pair of RoboSpot BaseStations to control two BMFL Follow Spots.
The feedback from all of these three initial tours for Dushow was excellent.
All the LDs involved could realise designs where using a traditional follow spot would have been a major challenge. In each case, the RoboSpot operators reported that they quickly picked up the essence of operating the system, whether they were experienced or complete novices in the art of follow spotting. The technicians in each case and the local crews were also delighted … as they didn't have to manoeuvre quantities of heavy kit up stairways and in service lifts into some of the less accessible corners of various venues! Following a series of comprehensive demonstrations arranged through Robe France, Dushow first purchased six RoboSpot BaseStations and MotionCameras to trial and road-test the system thoroughly.
This was a great success, so 14 additional systems were ordered and delivered in record time by Robe's Paris-based French subsidiary to service these three popular tours. Dushow already has a substantial amount of Robe equipment including stock of around 1000 Robe moving lights comprising BMFLs, MegaPointes, Pointes, Spiiders, LEDBeam 150s and Spikies. Christian commented, "For me right now, Robe is the brand to have on-board. The products are high quality, reliable, versatile and well-engineered … and Robe is what LDs and specifiers are asking for constantly". Dushow is a high profile French technical production company headquartered in a gleaming stylish, post-industrial purpose built, office and warehouse facility near to Charles de Gaulle airport (CDG) in Roissy just outside Paris … and a stone's throw from Robe's French subsidiary, Robe lighting France SAS. Dushow has eight busy regional branches including in Monaco and Barcelona, Spain, and works all over France and internationally supplying lighting, visuals, audio and rigging to a diversity of shows, events, festivals and concert tours.

try to cancel a vzw line!
I called vzw to cancel two lines that are not in use, basically go from their family plan ($140 month, one phone unlimited data, two regular) to one line...seems easy...well after talking to a CSR for an hour and a half, it dawned on me that they are super desperate not to let you out. She told me that one of the phones was still under contract and that would cost me $60 to cancel that phone, plus I would have to cancel the family plan (unlimited data) I would have to get at least their $60 package 2 gigs package...that is $120 total...I said let's do that, she then gave me the run around to have someone else take over that line, "it would be cheaper" she said...its not lol...then she offered me a $35 discount on my current bill...I said nope, want the two lines gone and I would take the $60 plan then I could upgrade my phone. Paid my bill in full and then upgraded my phone. My next bill rolls in at $160.19 including that fucking discount I said no to, still charged for family plan plus the $60 package and a charge for each line...called again second girl said no record of me canceling, but, listened to my story and said she would cancel the lines and take care of it, she even told me it was only $15 to drop a line under contract...great!!! And she said my bill will reflect that....just got bill...I owe $318.76!!! $40 family plan, $15 for one line $10 for another then my data plan $61.87, plus last bill that wasn't fixed....they don't give a shit...how many times do you have to cancel shit, and rely on an email confirmation that you'll never get??

CQJP 2016 January Block Seams 7 & 8 Motif 4
The 7th seam on my CQJP 2016 block was another opportunity to play with the bonnet stitch I recently learned through TAST.
This seam was stitched with size 8 DMC #125 variegated green pearl cotton to create the bonnet stitch. Next, 3 small straight stitches were added to the top of the bonnet stitches using size 8 DMC #815 pearl cotton.
The 8th seam was created with sets of straight stitches using size 8 Anchor #1206 red and black variegated pearl cotton.
Sharon B.'s Crazy Quilting Templates Set 2 were used to create the 4th motif.
First, I traced one of the flower motifs. Next, I traced a stem and then traced 2 leaves. For the flower, I also drew a small circle in the center. (Note: I used a mechanical pencil to trace the shapes. In the tighter sections of the templates, I found the pencil lead from the mechanical pencil fits easily.)
The stem was stitched with size 8 DMC #125 pearl cotton and the twisted chain stitch.
The leaves were added with the same floss and fly stitches worked from the tip to the base. (I do wish I switched my variegated green floss around on my needle for the top leaf, so the lighter color would have been at the tip.)
Next, I used a split stitch around the outer petals, using size 8 DMC #815 pearl cotton and filled the petals in with a long and short stitch. This was worked from the outer tips, in to the edges of the circle I drew.
Using size 8 Anchor white pearl cotton and a satin stitch, I filled the center of the flower.
The completion of my January block is finally within sight! Thank you for stopping by.
*Note: I am not affiliated with Sharon B.'s crazy quilt templates. I was asked to review the Set 2 templates and am having great fun playing with them in the process!

I can't believe that stem is a twisted chain! I looked at it closely, and darned if it isn't. =) Well, you should know, of course! =) I love all of the stitching you showed in this post, and I'll be filing it away in my "good stuff to do" file. =) Thanks!

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a
number of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a
way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help
would be really appreciated!
An impressive share! I've just forwarded this onto a friend who had been conducting a little research on this. And he actually bought me breakfast due to the fact that I found it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this matter here on your blog.
For me not only did I lose weight, I had more vitality and I even
stopped drinking coffee. However, the human
body was specifically designed to move, not to sit, like so
many people do today. You can use body measurement and set
goals based on that.

Q-Sys offers a complete design and build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. Formed in 2007 by 4 former colleagues from Anorad Europe, the company aims to fill the gap between standard catalogue motion products and real world applications. Instead of having to accept solutions for complex motion tasks from components designed for mass production, Q-Sys enables engineers to obtain exactly what best suits their needs – bespoke, high accuracy motion equipment.
By exploring the real requirements of the application, Q-Sys engineers can offer high performance but cost-effective solutions to today's most demanding motion systems needs. This may result in a custom design to directly meet the customer's specification. However, more often than not, the solution will use one or more elements from previous designs. These are carefully selected to ensure the most cost effective solution. This technique has proved very successful, not only for one-off special purpose systems but also in producing the motion platforms for series production machines. This means large savings can be made by incorporating the motion hardware into the machine support frame, often an integral part of the overall solution. Control solutions can range from the most basic to an all encompassing motion and machine control platform, using PMAC, Geobrick or UMAC hardware as appropriate and with CNC front end if required. Generally the final implementation will be guided by customer preferences.
Specialising in the application of linear motor technology, Q-Sys engineers have over 40 years collective experience in delivering quality solutions to individual applications. These include laser machining and cutting, digital holography, large format inkjet printing, semiconductor wafer metrology and flat panel display production to name just a few. The company has also worked with several synchrotron facilities to deliver a variety of custom motion and positioning solutions.
Based in The Netherlands, Q-Sys shares premises with BoTech, one of Europe's foremost suppliers of precision granite assemblies.

Canadian Women's Hockey: Concerns and Concerns
Submitted by Marianna Catherine Locke1*, George Karlis PhD2*
1* Marianna Catherine Locke, Ph.D. Student, School of Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario
2* George Karlis, Ph.D, Full Professor, School of Human Kinetics, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario
For Canada hockey is not merely a sport, a game, or a pastime, rather it is a way of life that millions of Canadians are absorbed in. Each year hundreds of Canada's most talented athletes leave Canada to play hockey in the NCAA. The routine loss of these dynamic individuals not only effects Canadian women's hockey, but more significantly it impacts Canadian society. The paper provides the current state of condition of the mass exodus of Canadian women's hockey players to the NCAA while also addressing concerns and challenges. Roughly 400 Canadian women's hockey players currently play in the NCAA (The Canadian Press, August 21, 2014). The concern is that this number will continue to grow in the future based on the benefits offered by playing in the NCAA versus the CIS. The challenge will undoubtedly become greater for Canada to maintain its top Canadian women's hockey players in Canada, not only for the betterment of Canadian hockey but also to help sustain cultural pride through its national winter sport.
Key Words: Canada, Women's Ice Hockey, NCAA, CIS, Nationalism (more…)
