*These products were provided for review*
Greetings All!
Exciting news! TarasTalons is reopening, at 00:01 on the 21st of September. Technically Sunday morning, but I will be thinking of it as Saturday night. Three new collections will be released, plus a topcoat collection, and I have swatches of some of the polishes that will be available! Tara has new labels, plus new round mini bottles that match the full sized ones, and they look really good!
I'm also excited because there is a Halloween collection, the Scream collection. A great film, and a great idea to theme polish around. Tara definitely won Halloween last year, so I have high expectations!
Before I get to the swatches, I also have a discount code for you. You can use the code 'BACK50' for the first 24 hours to get an amazing 50% off!
On to the swatches. Of course I have to show you the Halloween polishes first. This is Ghost Face, 2 coats without undies.
White crelly base, loaded with black shards, hexes and circles. As soon as I learned about the Scream collection, I was hoping for something like this. Ghoulish and gorgeous! Perfect coverage, too.
Next, I Told You Not To Hang Up, two coats without undies.
This is my favourite. Just the sort of raspberry shade I can never resist, loaded with all kinds of black glitter, and a sprinkle of holo sparkle. It gives great coverage too, as it's very pigmented, but not too opaque. You could possibly get away with one thick coat.
Next up I have a polish from the Autumn collection. This is Blackberry, again two coats without undies.
A rich, dark purple with magenta glitter and red hexes. It's a perfect Autumn colour. The base is quite opaque, and it has covered up some of the glitter, but there is still plenty peeking out.
Finally, Party! from the Return Of The Randoms collection. This is two coats over white.
This polish did strange things to my camera! It looks like the base is tinted pink, but it isn't. It's just a predominantly pink mix. There are some hearts and stars in the mix, and I really like the pop of blue. A very cute neon topper.

Joe Wilhelm's Wild Dream
Wild Dream is a show rod designed and built by Joe Wilhelm at Wilhelm's Custom Shop for John Hernandez. Built over a three year period, the wild rod featured a futuristic hand formed aluminum body that was covered with 20 coats of purple metalflake paint. A chrome plated chassis was constructed from rectangular tubing. The chassis featured full coil suspension. Power was delivered by a fuel injected 1960 Chevrolet Corvette 283 cu. in. engine, a 1961 Chevrolet four speed transmission and a 1956 Mercury rear end.
Cover Car
In 1964, Wild Dream was featured on the cover of Rod & Custom January 1964.
1968 America's Most Beautiful Roadster Winner
In 1968 the Wild Dream and Bob Reisner's Invader both won the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award.
Later on, in the 1960s Joe WIlhelm gave the car a Gold paint job.[1]
Sold to Jeff Cimoli
In June of 2017 original owner John Hernandez sold the car to Jeff Cimoli. Jeff told Kustomrama that he heard about it trough a friend; "A friend of mine knew John's nephew. My friend didn't want it, so he told me about it, and I jumped on it." When Jeff bought the car it had been in storage for 50 years. John had been playing with it off and on, and even brought it out of storage for a show in 1999.[2]
For Sale
In January of 2019 Jeff put the car up for sale. For more info about the car, get in touch with Jeff at 408 781 1142.

Rise To Remain Announces "City Of Vultures" North American Release
Century Media Records has announced the release of Rise to Remain's debut album, "City of Vultures," in North American on October 11th. "I hope a lot of people will respect this record, especially coming from a really young band, because there's a lot that's outside the usual metalcore cliché thinking box," says vocalist Austin Dickinson.
Rise to Remain has toured previously throughout Europe with Iron Maiden, Bring Me The Horizon, Bullet For My Valentine, and other notable acts, along with having played sets at this year's Download and Sonisphere Festivals. The band will be heading stateside for a U.S. tour this fall around the release of "City of Vultures" and will back again in early 2012.

(This article belongs to the Section Chemical Sensors)
AbstractThe present work discusses and compares the toluene sensing behavior of polyaniline (PANI) and graphene/polyaniline nanocomposite (C-PANI) films. The graphene–PANI ratio in the nanocomposite polymer film is optimized at 1:2. For this, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent is used to prepare PANI-NMP solution as well as graphene-PANI-NMP solution. The films are later annealed at 230 °C, characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as well Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and tested for their sensing behavior towards toluene. The sensing behaviors of the films are analyzed at different temperatures (30, 50 and 100 °C) for 100 ppm toluene in air. The nanocomposite C-PANI films have exhibited better overall toluene sensing behavior in terms of sensor response, response and recovery time as well as repeatability. Although the sensor response of PANI (12.6 at 30 °C, 38.4 at 100 °C) is comparatively higher than that of C-PANI (8.4 at 30 °C, 35.5 at 100 °C), response and recovery time of PANI and C-PANI varies with operating temperature. C-PANI at 50 °C seems to have better toluene sensing behavior in terms of response time and recovery time. View Full-Text

After more than a year of work by about 100 residents of Pine Bluff and Jefferson County, the Go Forward Pine Bluff Task Force is ready to announce their recommendations for growing the tax base and improving the quality of life in Pine Bluff.
On Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Southeast Arkansas Arts and Science Center, the task force will present their report and outline recommendations, which Mary Pringos, who has served as chairwoman of the task force, said will take about two years to implement.
"Some things will not be finished in two years, but we believe they will be well on their way," Pringos said when she sat down with reporters from The Commercial last week.
The idea for the task force was announced in November 2015 by George Makris, chairman and CEO of Simmons First National Corp., which provided the funding through a grant to the Simmons Foundation.
"Simmons is not part of the plan but they provided the funding to hire consultants [from the Institute for Economic Development at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock] to lead the process and provided an unbiased approach," Pringos said.
Four pillars — or steering committees — were created by the plan. They include economic development, education, infrastructure and quality of life. Pringos said the committee conducted two separate surveys to get an idea of what was important to residents.
The first of those was with high school students, the second with adults who either lived in or worked in Pine Bluff and who were not a part of the planing process, Pringos said. The group also used a survey by The Commercial on its Facebook page.
The initial focus was on the 20/20 initiative, which former Mayor Carl A. Redus created in 2007 when he brought together more than 40 community leaders for a series of meetings to create a citywide vision and strategic plan for Pine Bluff. Those plans included a multipurpose center, recreational center, reducing crime, increasing the city's fire rating and developing a pool of funds that could be utilized to attract businesses to the city.
"We wanted to see if those goals are still relevant or if some of those are things we don't need anymore," Pringos said.
In 2008, an effort to pass a half-cent sales tax county wide sales tax for economic development failed to win voter approval after Redus and several members of the Pine Bluff City Council, along with several community organizations, opposed it.
Three years later, in 2011, voters approved a one-cent sales tax, with five-eights of a cent designated for improvements to the city including a new fire station, remodeling two existing stations, remodeling the Joe Thomas Public Safety building, and the multi-purpose center. Ground will be broken for the first phase of that center, an aquatics center, in the spring. Supporters are trying to raise funds to construct the rest.
The remaining three-eights cent was devoted to economic development, and those funds have been used to attract Highland Pellets, to ensure the former SAJ distributors remained in Pine Bluff after the company was sold, a project at the National Center for Toxicological Research in Jefferson, and to purchase land for the proposed natural gas-to-liquid fuel plant planned near NCTR.
That tax is currently due to sunset in 2018, and Pringos said committee members and others would like to see it renewed.
Pringos also praised the diversity that the committees have, saying that the foundation accepted everyone who applied. One of the goals was to have 40 percent of its members under the age of 40, which was accomplished, she noted.
Additionally, Pringos said that significant funds are going to be needed to accomplish the goals of the Go Forward Pine Bluff plan. The funds are going to have to come from a variety of sources, including not only foundations and the business community, but also individuals, who Pringos said had not been approached before.
While she admitted that some of the goals will take time to achieve, Pringos also said, "It's important for people to see change on the front end.
"I see this as a process that is going to be on-going. As we get into this, there are going to be things we didn't think about or talk about that are going to have to be addressed."
While she would not address specific recommendations until the report is issued, Pringos said it is going to be very important to have a good, solid infrastructure and to deal with blight by re-purposing buildings if possible. All the members of the task force signed confidentiality agreements.
Two days before the report is made public, the logo for Go Forward Pine Bluff will be introduced at a press conference at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Ryburn Community Room on the mezzanine level at Simmons Bank.
Pringos said students from area high schools have submitted logos for consideration, and they and their art teachers are being invited to the press conference where the winner will be announced.
"It's obvious from looking that those kids put a lot of thought into their designs," she said.

text: Digital Sponsored Content: How Much is Too Much? By Lauren Hockenson|February 22, 2013 Share By Lauren Hockenson|February 22, 2013 Share The past few months have been a rocky one for sponsored online content or "advertorials." Between the Atlantic's Scientology dust-up and increasing paid content on websites like Buzzfeed and various outlets within the Gawkwer network, publishers are pushing boundaries and blurring the line between editorial and advertisement. It's a sticky subject, for sure, and the centerpiece of a Social Media Week debate in Buzzfeed's Flatiron District office between Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith and conservative blogger and The Dist Andrew Sullivan. To describe the debate as a blood bath is even a little bit of an understatement, as the two personalities clashed vehemently over the advertorial's place online — and the effect it has on journalism at large. Here's a quote from the debate moderator, the Atlantic's Derek Thompson, from his write-up of the event: Ben and Andrew fought fiercely and eloquently about the ethics of advertorials, making for a far more interesting discussion that the one I tucked into my coat so I could sip beer and enjoy fight night from the best seat in the house. Thompson concedes in the piece that Sullivan and Smith sit diametrically opposed in philosophies of advertorials: Sullivan, an independent blogger, believes that advertorials can damage the trust of readers and turn away business (preferring a subscription model) and Smith, as the leader of one of the most ubiquitous websites right now, sees advertorials as a necessary part of funding and uniting it with a brand's look and feel adds value. The main argument also comes down to a single point: it's more about how the advertorial looks than what is on it. Another quote: Andrew probably spent 30 minutes lambasting the morals of native advertising, but he acknowledged that his concerns would be eliminated if BuzzFeed prominently printed the word ADVERTISEMENT next to the advertisement — and perhaps darkened the background color. The fiery debate uncovers the discomfort the journalism world feels with advertising — blurring a line that has been so clearly delineated within the code of journalism ethics since the rise of the newspaper. More websites are embracing Buzzfeed's tactic of incorporating advertorials into branding — pushing the sponsored language into the background and cleverly blending the articles among real editorial work. It's a proven money-maker, a rarity in the online journalism, but it's dubiousness can still make some uncomfortable. Still, in the world of journalism, it's all a shade of gray. What do you think of advertorials and the Sullivan/Smith debate? Let us know in the comments. Share http://adweek.it/2jHoa3g copy Adweek Adweek

Edit Page:
The business needs to make commitments to the customer. Most projects I've seen commit in rather vague terms. For example: the system shall allow the applicant to enter all their foreign travel. Travel records are stored in reverse chronological order. This sounds simple enough. I was just using software with those requirements and wow is it annoying. Those requirements were met, but as a user of the system I am far from thrilled. To add a new trip, you have to traverse to the end of the list of all trips, then you are prompted for a new trip. If that trip happens to be the one that is the most recent, the user is sent back to the beginning of the list. Confirmation and navigation dialogs keep popping up. This was very aggravating. (Guessing with no data) I bet a programmer was given vague requirements and came up with this implementation. I often hear business analysts tell me that stories are too small, and that they don't write acceptance tests, testers do. The programmers can work out the details. Analysts don't want to be bothered with the details; the programmers can figure it out. The problem with this is that even though the commitments are made at high level, the system will be built, evaluated and used at the detail level. To see if the system records foreign travel, someone will have to enter their travel records. The programmers will have invested gobs of time implementing and the analysts will get to try it out. Argh! It meets the requirements, but is almost unusable. The deadline is here. Ship it. I think commitments will always be made at the high level. At the beginning of the project that is all we have, a vague idea of what is needed. It is critical to realize that acceptance and usage are done at a detailed level. Analysts can't remove themselves from the more detailed requirements level and expect that they will have their expectations met. A big spec up front may not have made travel input process work any more smoothly. The nature or software development is iterative refinement. I think it is an important realization that commitments are made at the high level, and usage and acceptance are made at the detailed level. Is this obvious? What do you think? Does this lend support for iterative development or does it make you want a bigger spec? ---- !commentForm

For most of my adult life, entrepreneurship has played a key role in my overall decision-making, in terms of expressing what I believe to be free will, placement in the marketplace for financial security, and ultimately, placement in this world as a human being.
Being an entrepreneur meant going down the unbeaten path that only brave individuals would travel, to obtain a certain lifestyle only few possessed. However, after years of trial and error, I eventually realized that the Entrepreneurial Lifestyle was "Not Sexy & Luxurious," as many people may think; and it isn't an easy "Solopreneur" journey. All great businesses start, and endure, with great partnerships; the main reason for this is simple: we all only have 24 hours in a day, and can only stretch ourselves so thin, before an entrepreneurial business becomes dysfunctional.
For me, the primary advantage between working solo and working with an agency is the shared workload. You really do get more done with other people than by yourself. Managing clients' expectations, keeping up with the books, furthering your own marketing & brand, producing content, staying abreast of the latest in technology, and attending every network marketing event, while trying to maintain a steady cash flow coming in, can really take a toll on one's health (both physically and mentally).
- All assignments, tasks, and hats are reserved for you, and you alone. You must be on top of everything consistently, and if something is off, you only have yourself to blame. I like the idea of taking full responsibility for each project; however, if the responsibility isn't properly delegated, it can quickly become overwhelming.
- No REAL time off. As a Solopreneur, you are always on call during work hours – AND outside of the typical 9 to 5 workday. If you are not available for your clients, you could potentially lose the client's trust – and their business.
- In an agency, you have the ability and leverage to reach out for help. It's not all on you to produce what you promised to the client, when you have a team that can help pitch in if the work load becomes too much.
- You can actually have a life outside of traditional work hours, and tend to your personal tasks when need be, knowing things are being handled by your team.
For these reasons – and many more – I am so glad to be a part of the Ringer Consulting Team. I am a much stronger, solid performer as a part of a team than I ever was working on my own!

The DSO80204B, when combined with the InfiniiMax probing solution, offers several key signal integrity advantages including a low noise floor, low jitter measurement floor, low trigger jitter, flat combined frequency response of scope and probe and more. These foundational capabilities are crucial for achieving accurate and repeatable measurements. These signal integrity capabilities come from Keysight (formerly Agilent)'s RF design experience, proprietary packaging technologies and unique CMOS ADC architecture. Superior signal integrity maximizes engineer's design margins by not wasting any measurement accuracy due to the poor noise, jitter or frequency response of the scope or probing system.

Bears halt Volcanoes eruption
By HERB SWETT
For the Keizertimes
Yakima ended the Volcanoes' four-game winning streak Saturday with a 9-2 pounding.
The Bears, who have been one of the weaker-hitting Northwest League clubs this season, had 16 hits including four doubles and were ahead 7-0 until Salem-Keizer scored its two runs in the fourth inning. The Volcanoes had only five hits.
Starting and losing pitcher Brandon Allen gave up 11 hits and seven runs, six earned, in his three innings. The standout Volcanoes player was shortstop Joe Panik, who went 2 for 4 including a triple, drove in a run and scored one, and started two double plays.
Yakima's attack started in the second inning. Henry Zabala doubled to left field. Tyson Van Winkle singled to center, driving in Zabala, and went to second base on Jesus Galindo's throw home. Danny Pulfer doubled to center and scored Van Winkle. Westley Moss singled to left and drove in Pulfer.
In the Bears' third, singles by Garrett Weber, Marc Bourgeois and David Narodowski, the last on a bunt, loaded the bases. Zabala singled to right, and Weber scored. An errant throw from right field by Ryan Honeycutt allowed Bourgeois to score. Van Winkle grounded out but scored Narodowski. Pulfer sent Zabala home with a single to center.
The first Salem-Keizer hit came in the third inning, and it was an infield single by Garrett Buechele. Danny Brock then reached first base by forcing him out, and Honeycutt hit into a double play. Yiomar Camacho, Yakima's starting and winning pitcher, did not issue a walk or let a batted ball out of the infield in the first three innings.
Newcomer Chris Gloor, a 6-6, 255-pound lefthander up from the Arizona League, came in to pitch the top of the fourth inning. He walked Moss, got Carter Bell to hit into a double play, and struck out Weber.
In the Volcanoes' fourth, Leonardo Ochoa walked and scored on Panik's triple to center. Mike Murray grounded out but batted in Panik.
Yakima added a run in the fifth. Bourgeois singled to center, stole second, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored as Zabala grounded out.
Aaron King took the mound for the Volcanoes at the start of the sixth. He walked one player and retired two on outfield flies before second baseman Kaohi Downing made a running catch of a blooper by Weber to retire the side.
In the seventh, Bourgeois doubled to right, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly to right by Zabala.
Mike Blake, pitching the seventh for Yakima, hit Downing but retired the other three batters.
Matt Graham pitched the eighth and ninth innings for the Volcanoes, allowing two infield singles and striking out one. Sent down from AA Augusta to work on his mechanics, he made his best Volcanoes' pitching performance of the season and said after the game that he was "trying to piece it together."
The crowd of 2,657 saw the Volcanoes get only five hits.
July 27: Volcanoes 5, Yakima 4
Salem-Keizer came back first from a Yakima lead and then a tied score to win its third straight game, taking the first of a five-game home series from the Bears.
Yakima scored the first three runs of the game, all in the second inning off starter Reiner Roibal. Zachary Jones doubled, went to third base on a grounder and scored on a single by David Narodowski, who was on base when Tyler Bream hit a home run.
The Volcanoes responded with one run in the second. Joe Staley walked, went to second on a single by Chuckie Jones and scored on a single by Garrett Buechele.
In the fifth, John Eshleman doubled and scored on a double by Brett Krill. The Volcanoes went ahead by a run in the sixth when Buechele homered with Jones on base.
The Bears tied the score in the eighth when Garrett Weber, who had walked and reached second on a single and third on when reliever Matthew Graham hit a batter, scored on a fielder's choice. In the bottom of the eighth, Joe Panik singled and scored on a double by Staley.
Cody Hall was the closing and winning pitcher. Justin Albert took the loss.
July 28: Volcanoes 4, Yakima 3
Dan Burkhart's first walk-off home run ever gave the Volcanoes yet another come-from-behind victory.
Yakima had the first run in the second inning when Garrett Weber, who had doubled, scored on an error by Brett Krill in right field. Salem-Keizer responded with a run in the same inning. Kaohi Downing reached second base on a grounder and third on a throwing error by pitcher Brad Wilson, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Brice Cutspec.
The Bears went ahead in the third on a homer by Justin Hilt. They added a run in the sixth when Marc Bourgeois doubled, went to third on a bunt single, and scored on an error by third baseman John Eshleman.
In the eighth, Jesus Galindo walked, stole second, reached third on a throwing error by catcher Tyson Van Winkle and scored on a sacrifice fly by Joe Panik.
Downing doubled to lead off the Volcanoes' ninth and scored on Burkhart's homer.
Starting pitcher Lorenzo Mendoza, despite being hit hard, walked none and struck out five in his six innings. Raffy Martinez won the game in relief, and Drew Zizinia lost in relief.
July 29: Volcanoes 10, Yakima 7
This time it was a six-run deficit that the Volcanoes overcame.
Yakima outhit Salem-Keizer 11-8 but made six errors. With the Bears ahead 6-0 in the middle of the third inning, half of those runs coming from a home run by David Narodowski, the Volcanoes scored three times. With the bases loaded, a sacrifice fly by Brett Krill drove in Leonardo Ochoa. A throwing error by pitcher Teo Gutierrez sent Jesus Galindo home. Joe Panik scored on a grounder.
Brian Maloney, a left-handed newcomer, replaced starter Cameron Lamb on the mound and gave up one run in the fourth. The Volcanoes cut the Bears' lead to 7-5 in the fourth on three singles and a hit batsman.
In the sixth, with Greg Robinson pitching, Ochoa homered with Danny Brock on base. Panik and Krill walked, and Mike Murray singled Panik home. An error by Narodowski in left field allowed Krill to score.
Jesus Galindo was hit by a pitch in the eighth, stole his 20th base, reached third on a throwing error by catcher Steven Rodriguez, and scored on a single by Panik.
Brennan Flick was the winning pitcher and Robinson the loser, both in relief. Phil McCormick got his fourth save.
July 31: Volcanoes 13, Yakima 8
The Volcanoes returned to their come-from-behind form and ended the home series with a 4-1 record.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, with the Bears ahead 7-1, Joe Staley led off with a home run. Garrett Buechele and Chuckie Jones walked, and Danny Brock, who has seen little action this season, hit his first homer of 2011.
Salem-Keizer added eight runs in the fifth. Staley walked, Kaohi Downing reached first base on a fielder's choice, and Jones drove in both with a double. Brock walked, John Eshleman singled Jones home, and Jesus Galindo walked to load the bases. Relief pitcher Miles Reagan forced Brock home by walking Shawn Payne. Brett Krill, in the unusual role of designated hitter, hit a grand slam.
Yakima added a run in the sixth. With Danny Pulfer on second, Marc Bourgeois bounced a grounder off relief pitcher Stephen Shackleford's ankle into left field, driving Pulfer in.
The Bears had one homer, by Tyler Bream in the second with the bases empty.
For each club, the pitcher of record (Shackleford for the Volcanoes, Reagan for the Bears) was the first of four relievers. Kendry Flores started for Salem-Keizer, Adam Kudryk for Yakima.
Aug. 2: Boise 8,
Volcanoes 5
Outhitting their hosts 11-8 and tying the score in the top of the seventh inning were not enough for the Volcanoes, who could not overcome Boise's five runs in the bottom of the seventh.
The Hawks scored three times in the third. A passed ball on a strikeout sent runners to first and third, a walk loaded the bases, and another walk forced Yaniel Cabezas home. Zeke De Voss hit a two-run double.
Salem-Keizer scored one run in the fourth and one in the fifth. Garrett Buechele singled Danny Brock home from second base in the fourth. In the fifth, Jesus Galindo doubled and scored on an error that put Joe Panik on first.
In the seventh, Galindo singled, stole second, reached third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Panik.
Boise answered in the seventh just after Brian Maloney took the mound, starting pitcher Reiner Roibal having allowed three runs but none earned in his six innings. Singles by Dustin Harrington and Wes Darvill were followed by a wild pitch and a walk to De Voss. Another wild pitch scored Harrington, and Matthew Graham came in to pitch. Rafael Lopez singled Darvill home, Paul Hoilman was hit by a pitch, and Reggie Holden hit a three-run double.
The Volcanoes scored again in the eighth, when a grounder by John Eshleman drove in Joe Staley, and in the ninth, when Brock singled Panik home.
Maloney was the losing pitcher. Dustin Fitzgerald was the winner in relief.

In a boost to indigenization, and in realisation of India's growing technological prowess, the DAC approved procurement of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) -designed and -developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at the cost of Rs 524 crore. The system includes a third-generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA).
Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) led by Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman clears procurement of NAG Missile System (NAMIS) - 300 NAG Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) & 25 NAG Missile Carrier (NAMICA) for Indian Army. Jai Hind! pic.twitter.com/HqBUJoxd4W— प्रkash (@iPraksy) April 27, 2018
The NAG missile is a third-generation anti-tank guided missile, which has top attack capabilities that can effectively engage and destroy all known enemy tanks during day and night. This will give a quantum boost to the Army's capability against enemy armour.
The DAC also approved procurement of thirteen 127 mm calibre guns for the Navy. These guns will be fitted on-board new construction ships for undertaking surface engagements including Naval Gunfire Support Operations. The guns will enable Naval ships to provide fire support and engagement of targets on the land. These guns have engagement range of 24 kilometres, which could be extended further by using Extended Range Gun Munitions (ERGM).
These guns, a long outstanding requirement of the Navy would be procured from BAE Systems of the United States of America under the categorisation of Buy (Global) at an approximate cost of over Rs 3,000 crore.
The DAC also reviewed the progress of the DRDO programme to develop indigenous Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS).

Around this time of the year, when it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere and a Kiwi is making news in the other, anniversaries and iOS updates are having the time of their lives.
Minutes before I began writing this, I received an iOS 8.2 update for my iPad. This is remarkable because it has been roughly one year since I stopped blogging (due to an iOS update). Nevertheless, my dear reader, you needn't be alarmed at a possible déjà vu, because I have gotten over updates – in general.
Another remarkable happening that will be happening in the next few days is the first anniversary of my blog post on Projinism. This year, the biggest update to the religion is that instead of it being a stand-alone religion, I am changing it into more of an add-on to other existing religions – which means now, you don't have to choose between the two :). You're welcome.
And about running – I have stopped running keeping in mind the environmental impact that it could have, given that 5% of exhaled breath contains water vapor, and water vapor makes up over 60% of the greenhouse gases composition. Speaking of global warming, I strongly suggest you to read this book – An Appeal To Reason – A Cool Look At Global Warming (http://www.amazon.com/AN-Appeal-Reason-Global-Warming/dp/159020252X).
If you are too lazy or don't have a credit card, the summary of it is that global warming, as it is presented to us by our respective governments and our respective school textbooks, is bullshit. We have no absolute and reliable source of information that can prove that global temperatures are rising due to the Greenhouse Effect, and not because of a temporary effect caused by, say, the sun (I'm not bullshitting. Go read the book; it also comes with 234 other reasons why it's not entirely true.). Also, if we closely inspect how global warming actually became a global issue, it all began with the IPCC First Assessment Report. The problem with IPCC was that it had a monopoly over the statistical and scientific data supplied to governments around the world, and therefore, the complete autonomy in freaking out world leaders (like Tony Blair).
My fingers are tired from topic-hopping, and I guess I'll rest for an year now.
If you're wondering, after all this, as to why I am writing a Zeitgeist in March, it's Ugadi!! So, ಯುಗಾದಿ ಹಬ್ಬದ ಶುಭಾಷಯಗಳು!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugadi)

Our first priority is preventive health care. The foundation of preventive health care is the physical examination. Exams are scheduled based on your pet's age and health needs.
Annual exams will include a full physical examination "from nose to toes" , any recommended core vaccinations and a fecal exam for internal parasites. We will discuss your pet's weight, oral health, diet and any behavior changes that may be occurring. Have any special questions? Just bring them with you.
For our canine patients, we also recommend annual heartworm testing, heartworm prevention and seasonal flea and tick prevention.
For our feline patients, ALL new members to your family should be tested for FelV/FIV before being introduced to the other household feline members. Cats that go outdoors should be vaccinated for FelV as well.
As our pets age, their health needs change. Blood work, urinalysis and radiographs are important tools in assessing health status.We promote a FEAR FREE Experience. If your pet is overly fearful during a visit to the vet, call us before hand. There are ways to make the experience more pleasant for everyone.

I finished with my work for the day and headed to the indoor track to get a workout in. It's funny, it's my favorite workout, but also a workout I haven't done in over 10 years – Fake 8s (or feights), I actually forget what my high school coach used to call them. I'll go into the details of the requirements of that workout at a later date, but for now what you need to know is that part of the workout entertained the idea of a 60 second quarter-mile.
I get to the indoor track only to find out that there will be a high school meet and there was not enough time to fit the workout in, so I was relinquished to the outdoor track, in the not-so-bitter cold and problematic wind. I toed the line for the first rep and said to myself, "this is gonna suck." And naturally with that negative mindset came a poor workout. A wholly awful, s—-y workout. The was one of the few workouts I voluntarily cut short, partly due to frustration, but mostly because I just wasn't ready for the workout — and if I'm not ready, I'm not ready. I need to get the appropriate work in.
I call this workout "This is what 60 seconds feels like, a—–e"
So I came home, fed the dogs, and headed out for a run. I was more than frustrated now, I was angry. I made sure I got a good enough warm-up in before the destruction began. I found a hill nearby and started to go. And the task? To know exactly when I hit 60 seconds while running uphill. Not 59 seconds, not 61 seconds, SIXTY SECONDS – and I had to be able to do it twice (after doing at least 8 reps). This works for me because I can't necessarily tell exactly how much time has passed while running, even moreso at an especially fatiguing pace.
The workout started out just fine. First few reps I would flip my wrist and snap my head down. "Shoot! 56″… "Damn.. 61" … "58?.. Really?" And then I of course started keying in on where I was finishing each rep, which I then used to "cheat" myself because I just used my surroundings to tell me my time, as opposed to feeling it. And on my 7th one, when I passed the same parked car that had been sitting there with its engine and lights on for the past 20 minutes for some odd reason while its driver smoked a cigar, I looked down to see 60 seconds had past from my hill start time. (I wasn't timing these individually, just calculating the difference from a running total time.)
Around the 12th rep of this roughly 220 meter, 100+ft incline the fatigue started to set in. I decided to make an active effort of counting the seconds in my head as I ran, which allowed me to be much closer to my target time on average, but since I have the attention span of a young puppy I often lost track of where I was. Like on my 15th repeat, when a third of the way up the hill my running on the street at first startled someone on the sidewalk, and then they proceeded to laugh hysterically at the safety vest I was wearing – you know since I was running in the dead of night and all. Seconds later, a driver of a pick-up truck decided he didn't need to signal that he was making a left turn, which made me "flying" through an intersection very interesting as I had to dart out of the way. So that rep was a wash.
At this point the pace was starting to suffer. Not that I cared much, that wasn't the point of this workout. (If you forgot the point of this workout you should scroll back up to the part in bold.) I wasn't getting as far up the hill anymore. People, that for some reason would sit in their cars for 20 minutes at a time, were probably overhearing me curse the workout, curse the hill, curse my time… curse myself. Runner's high was definitely setting in, and the fear of not being able to complete the workout started to rear its ugly head.
So on the next one I took note of what had been happening with my counting. Seconds were running long, so more often than not, what I thought was sixty seconds was more like 63 seconds. Climbing up the hill, I continued my count.. "Fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-.. f–k it just look!" And sure enough, I looked down at precisely 60 seconds.
Because of the wishy-wash nature of hitting both 60-second intervals (both kind of being a fluke, and one being in the first 8) I decided that I had to keep going until I hit another one. And somewhere around rep twenty I started to think that if this hill claims my life, in the least it was a valiant effort. Runner's high was full blown at this point. Gasping for air, bellowing loudly, finding myself in the distraught hands-on-knees runner's pose. It was getting viscous. I lost count of seconds on multiple occasions as my head wandered off into La La Land. S–t was getting real, there was no end in sight. And then came the 24th rep.
I essentially crawled down the rest loop that I had created and made it back to the start of the hill, approaching it with so much fear… and hesitance… and disbelief. Climbing the hill was much like the others, and the time in my head seemed to sync up with previous efforts and I just prayed that this would be the one. Fortunately enough I stuck to the count, and when I looked down, exactly 60 seconds had passed.
Too tired to be happy, I just stopped, walked up the hill a little bit and started my cooldown. After my mind started to come back down to earth I remember one of my first thoughts being "You know this means you have to do 24 400s in a few days right?" I shuttered, immediately stopped pursuing any thoughts of how miserable that workout was going to be, and just trudged home.

It seems that Barack Obama's buddy Rick has been hanging with some of the biggest gay-haters on the planet. Episcopal Cafe has the story:
Warren wrote Time magazine's egregious puff piece on Nigerian archbishop Peter Akinola, and supported Ugandan archbishop Henry Orombi's decision to boycott the Lambeth Conference because supporters of an openly gay bishop would be there.
Cafe regulars will remember that Akinola supported anti-gay legislation criticized by every major human rights group, the European parliament and the U. S. State Department, and has yet to answer questions about his knowledge of a massacre of 700 Muslims in Yelwa Nigeria in 2004.
Orombi isn't quite as bad. He only believes that gay people and their supporters are out to kill him, and will pay Africans to become homosexuals.
A Kampala newspaper report on Warren's support of the Lambeth boycott included this paragraph:
Dr Warren said that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. "We shall not tolerate this aspect at all," Dr Warren said.
Maybe Senators McCain and Obama should turn the tables and ask Warren a few questions, like whether he would like to recriminalize homosexual activity.

What to Do If You Are Involved in an Accident with an 18-Wheeler
Due to their size and weight, 18-wheelers can cleave a path of destruction, leaving serious physical injuries and property damage in their wake. In the vast majority of these accidents, people in passenger vehicles suffer the worst injuries. This is why commercial vehicle drivers must undergo specialized training before they get behind the wheel. Unfortunately, they still make mistakes, and a moment's lapse in attention can lead to a devastating crash. If you were the victim of a CMV driver's negligence in Mississippi, then a Jackson personal-injury attorney from Richard Schwartz & Associates, P.A. may be able to help. Call us today at (601) 869-0696 to schedule a consultation. Even when CMV drivers do not behave negligently, an accident may still occur due to a vehicle malfunction. Tires can blow out, bolts may become loose and cargo can sometimes fall off a vehicle. This is why a lawsuit that stems from such an accident may involve several defendants, including the truck owner, the driver or a maintenance company. Fortunately, most semi-trucks are equipped with a black box that records what the driver does before, during and after a crash. A Jackson personal-injury lawyer may be able to use that record as evidence to prove liability and help you recover compensation.

Exhibition of Japanese collaborative digital artists, teamLab, opens at Pace New York
Crows are Chased and the Chasing Crows are Destined to be Chased as Well - Light in Dark, 2014.© 2014 Pace Gallery.
Pace Gallery
presents Ultra Subjective Space, the first U.S. exhibition of Japanese collaborative digital artists, teamLab, at 508 and 510 West 25th Street from July 17 through August 15, 2014. The two-venue exhibition will include five large-scale digital monitor pieces and the immersive, digital installation, Crows are chased and the chasing crows are destined to be chased as well, Division in Perspective - Light in Dark, 2014. An e-catalogue will accompany the exhibition with an introduction by art historian Charles Merewether and an interview between teamLab founder, Toshiyuki Inoko, and esteemed art historian and professor at Meiji Gakuin University, Yuji Yamashita.
Rooted in the tradition of seventeenth-century Japanese Art and contemporary forms of anime, teamLab navigates the confluence of art, technology, and design. Founded in 2001 by Toshiyuki Inoko and a group of his university friends, teamLab has exhibited extensively in Asia and is currently on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo. This fall, the Japan Society in New York will mount Garden of Unearthly Delights: Works by Ikeda, Tenmyouya & teamLab, marking teamLabs first inclusion in a stateside museum exhibition. Working as a collective creative force, their work celebrates the vitality of nature and simultaneously strives to expand our understanding of human perception.
The exhibitions title, Ultra Subjective Space, refers to the distinctly Japanese sense of spatial recognition. The exhibition draws a comparison between representation of space in western Renaissance perspective, which depicts a linear system with objects receding in space, and that of traditional Japanese compositions. In traditional Japanese composition, from Ukiyo-e prints from the Edo period to current Manga illustrations, figures and objects exist on a single plane of depth focusing on vertical and horizontal relationships to portray dimensionality. The viewer does not hold a dominant perspective over the subject matter and, instead, is merged into a comprehensive experience. The implication of this alternative vantage point, neither subordinate nor superior to western perspective, raises questions regarding how different cultures perceive the construction of space today. Charles Merewether writes in his introduction to the exhibitions catalogue: Digital media art, in the hands of such artists as teamLab, succeed as an art of participatory installation and part of our everyday contemporary lives.
The digital monitor and projection installations presented in this exhibition, reflect the construction of Japanese spatial awareness by creating a flattened three-dimensional world. The exhibitions centerpiece, Crows are chased and the chasing crows are destined to be chased as well, Division in Perspective - Light in Dark, 2014, will play vivid animation across seven staggered screens, setting the viewer in an all-encompassing experience of spatial perception. Using the Japanese animation technique of Itano Circus, created by renowned animator Ichiro Itano who coined the term for his distinct style of animated flight choreography, a mythological three-legged crow, Yatagarasu, shoots into space to envelope the viewers field of vision. Following in the tradition of Japanese spatial rendering, swarms of crows are drawn in a distorted perspective, conveying a strong sense of dynamism and vibrancy. Fully immersed in the installation, the viewer and subject are integrated in a participatory environment characteristic of teamLabs groundbreaking initiatives on digital platforms.
Ultra Subjective Space will also include three single-channel monitor works and two multi-channel monitor works. Flower and Corpse Glitch Set of 12, 2012, utilizes high definition monitors to tell a mythological tale about Japanese civilization, natural disaster, war, and eventual rebirth. Universe of Water Particles, 2013, creates a dynamic sense of a waterfall cascading down five vertically stacked monitors. Two versions of Ever Blossoming Life - Gold and Dark, 2014 present images of flowers blooming, withering, and dispersing their petals in accordance to a computer program written by teamLab. The animation never repeats itself and the work effectively creates itself in any given moment. In Cold Life, 2014, a series of brushstrokes - created by calligrapher, Sisyu, and modeled in 3D space - form the Chinese character meaning life. The brushstrokes then transform and grow into a tree that, as time passes, gives rise to other life forms. Presented alongside the large scale digital installation, this exhibition at Pace provides unique insight into teamLabs creative mission and innovative imagination.
teamLab (f. 2001, Tokyo, Japan) is an interdisciplinary creative group that brings together professionals from various fields in the information age: artists, editors, programmers, engineers, mathematicians, architects, web and print graphic designers, and CG animators, who attempt to achieve a balance between technology, art, commerce, and creativity. Their creative range encompasses animation, sound, performance, Internet, fashion, design, and even medical science.
teamLabs work explores new values that govern individual behaviors in the information era, while also revealing possible futures for societal development. The audience is led to explore extremes of creativity and diversity when technology and art are combined and brought into play. In an era of blurring boundaries between technology and art, interdisciplinary collaboration has become a sign of the times. teamLab fosters collective ingenuity and reveals diverse possibilities for a new era of artistic development.
teamLab has been the subject of numerous exhibitions in Asia and abroad. In 2011, teamLab presented LIVE! at the Takashi Murakamis Kaikai Kiki Gallery in Taipei. Other recent solo exhibitions include teamLab: We are the Future, 2012, at the Digital Arts Creativity and Resource Center at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung; and teamLab and Saga Merry-go-round Exhibition, 2014, at the Saga Prefectural Art Museum, The Saga Prefectural Space & Science Museum, Kyushu Ceramic Museum, and Saga Prefectural Nagoya Castle Museum, Saga, Japan.
Over the past two years, teamLab has mounted five public installations in Japan including digital works at KITTE, Tokyo, Kunisaki Art Project, Oita and Canal City Hakara, Fukuoka, as well as Vortex of Water Particles, 2014, and What a Loving and Beautiful World, 2011, an interactive animation installation, at Narita International Airport, Chiba.

'Let the love of learning rule humanity," The Honor Society ofPhi Kappa Phi proclaims in ourmotto, "with an occasionalchuckle," I'm adding since thetheme of this edition of ourmagazine is "Funny Business."I want to share with you some of the funnythings that have happened to me when goingabout my business for the Society.
My husband Webb is a Phi Kappa Phi mem-ber and when duty calls me away from home,sometimes he makes the journey too. Webb likesto joke that he's "the bellman, just along tocarry the luggage." Moments after I becamepresident-elect at the 2010 convention in KansasCity, Mo., a former board member whispered tohim, "The luggage just got heavier."For the past year I've had the privilege oftraveling thousands of miles in doing the workof the Society. From frequent trips to head-quarters in Baton Rouge to chapter initiations,cluster meetings, and visits to campuses whereI've met the finest, most dedicated andpassionate volunteers, I can tell you that thereis nothing funny about the excellence andcommitment of Phi Kappa Phi folks. But I canalso tell you that many stops provide me witha good laugh or two.
Take, for example, when I spoke at Georgia
College & State University's chapter initiation.
While I always enjoy representing the Society,
for this engagement I also looked forward to
my accommodations at an antebellum home in
Milledgeville, Ga. Sure enough, the residence
was lovely from top to bottom, and I sashayed
like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind —
until for some unknown reason a large, ornate,
cornice board and window treatment suddenly
fell with a thunderous roar. Fortunately, none
of us lodgers suffered any injuries … only were
scared out of our wits!
At Pittsburg State University's chapter initiation, I stayed at the resplendent home of the
school president on a beautiful spring day.
Quite an honor. And Mother Nature cooperated. But then I nearly ruined things in the wee
hours the next morning when my rental car's
alarm bellowed uncontrollably and I had no
clue how to disarm it!
My college-educated daughter Tiffany came
with me to University of Maryland Eastern
Shore's chapter initiation. After crossing the
spectacular 23-mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, we got pulled over for speeding and the
officer issued me a warning. Upon reentry onto
the mainland, Tiffany declared, "It's good to be
back in the United States." I'm sure her strange
comment had nothing to do with the friendly
roadside chat we had with the Maryland highway patrol! Not a laughing matter. But my otherwise very bright daughter and I did giggle over
how geographically challenged she is!
As with most stories, the funniest happened
in my own backyard, at the Clemson University
chapter. We hold an elegant banquet for our new
initiates before commencing with the formal ceremony. But it was only after one chapter officer
began to describe the Society's badge and emblem and another rose to point them out that we
realized our banner was still hanging proudly
outside the room at the registration desk!
Fortunately, there is humor in all that we
do. And a little levity, as my husband says,
helps lighten the load that I cherish carrying
for Phi Kappa Phi.
Three times a year I get paid to laugh. "And One More Thing … withBob Zany," the humor column,transforms work into play,makes business funny. On thephone, Zany brainstorms ideas,A month later, Zany emails the rough draft,which cracks me up anew, and which I returnwith feedback. We concentrate on audience andtone, setup and payoff, beat and rhythm, anddiction and context, since material for his actmay or may not translate to the page (and viceversa). Shortly thereafter, we fine-tune on thephone; when he tweaks or replaces gags, Ichuckle all the more.
Actually, since each column entails three
steps, I earn my paycheck by giggling nine times
a year. And because Zany is a comedian, his casual conversation reflexively includes punch
lines; I compare them to holiday bonuses: a little
something extra.
Zany indirectly provides other guffaws. He
convinced TV impresario George Schlatter, co-creator of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, to look
back at the influential show for this edition.
Funny business also suggests something not
aboveboard. An early memory of deceit occurred when I started middle school. That rite
of passage meant I was a big boy, a grown-up
relative told me, and now that I took major tests,
I could help her study for a real estate license.
Raised as a voracious reader, diligent pupil, andconscientious soul, I was happy and curious topitch in. Much of what I quizzed her on I didn'tunderstand, but it was fun to practice an hour ortwo some weeknights and weekends. I tookpride in assisting in her progress and in her tran-sition from one career to another not too longafter graduating college. By the end of a fewmonths of drilling, she consistently answeredevery question correctly. The day before theexam she took me out to dinner to say thank-you. Besides, she was ready, she added, and de-served the night off. Over dessert, she said shewanted to tell me something: how importantpreparation is. I smiled. In that era, peoplecould smoke in public, and she passed me herpack of cigarettes and book of matches, motion-ing me to open both. Inside the flaps, written intiny print, were cheat sheets. "Just in case," shewhispered, and put on the table five more ofeach. I refused to cry and vowed to myself neverto extend to her again.
One of my favorite plays, Samuel Beckett's1961 Happy Days, examines another funny busi-ness: strangeness. As Act One of the absurdisttwo-character classic begins, middle-aged Win-nie is buried up to her waist in a mound ofscorched earth, personal effects scattered withinreach, including toiletries, parasol, and revolver.Determined to be cheerful, she chatters on, espe-cially to her feeble, largely silent husband Willie,who periodically appears from a cave. When ActTwo commences, Winnie is stuck up to herneck. Her predicament and Beckett's take on thehuman condition span optimism and bleakness,rue and humor. Winnie's opening words: "An-other heavenly day."What funny business marks your life?

Take care always! Kisses to Tala.Replies
Thanks sis! you're so sweet! I really want to make this more regular... kaya lang for now it's still a struggle... so we'll see, we'll see. miss ko na rin magbasa ng mga blogs nyo eh.Delete
Cute! I was addicted to Pinterest too. It's such a cool site noh? Kaya lang, not a fan of it's terms and conditions that re-pinning a copyrighted work can still get you in trouble. That's one of the reasons why I stopped posting and re-pinning e. I look at the pics na lang. =)ReplyDeleteReplies
I didn't know about that policy on re-pinning a copyrighted work :-O kind of absurd and defeats the purpose of this whole repinning thing, no? hay naku, yan ang napapala ng hindi nagbabasa ng terms and conditions.Delete
VERY cute!!! I may have to try this out... but with a different container since I don't use this brand or container. I'm sure it will work with another shape container, right?! VERY cute, I tell ya! You did a great job! what's to be nervous about??? ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
It definitely will work for a different shape of container! Maybe even a different anima... an owl perhaps? or a fat rabbit? or ribbit? haha!Delete
I don't know what's to be nervous about! I guess I was too excited to see how it would turn out :-D
This is so cute sis! Buti nga ikaw marunong mag-paint, if I do the same project I'm pretty sure the cat wouldn't look like a cat, hahaha...ReplyDelete
You are are really good at crafts and recycling, which is one of my favorite hobbies kaya natutuwa ako sayo. I am addicted to Pinterest too. I even wish I could inside Pinterest 'cause everything about it is beautiful.
What's your username? I should add you!Replies
Hello, pinterest buddy! :-D YOU are the one crafty and fashion-sensible oh ha! ;-)Delete
I used to do this when I was in high school (summer boredom haha). If you want straighter lines, you can cover parts of the jar with masking tape. You can cut them in half (horizontally) if you want thinner lines. Once you've made stripes, paint the uncovered parts. Remove the thin masking tape and you'll have straighter lines! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, I could have thought about using a masking tape but I'm such an eager-beaver to finish this kaya basta paint na lang :-DDelete
really great idea from the both of you!Delete
my helper had been asking me for days now if she can throw away the empty bottles we have here... i told her to hold it off for awhile... and now this!!!!

haha you can also do something similar to the wine bottles! You can turn them into vases or decorative bottles :)Delete
nice....may pakinabang din...di pala dapat tinatapon pag wala ng laman..ReplyDeleteReplies
lahat talaga may pakinabang :-DDelete
galing naman... hang cute... okay na okay ang arts ^^ReplyDeleteReplies

ohh it's very cute. I never thought of doing thisReplyDeleteReplies
I'd never thought of doing this either... but Pinterest is so powerful ;-)Delete
Oh my gosh this is just adorable! You're so creative!ReplyDelete
You have a very nice blog here :) I just followed you on GFC :) Hope you can drop by my blog and maybe get a follow back? :) Thank you and looking forward to more posts from you!
I'll be returning the love soon! :) thanks for visiting!Delete
marami akong empty nescafe glass here sis hehe baka gusto moko gawan?ReplyDeleteReplies
sige sis, padala mo dito :DDelete
- AnonymousOctober 26, 2012 at 1:34 AM
This is really adorable! I also love recycling and reusing. :) Another great idea (I think this might be in my book, but I'm not sure) is to use a baby food jar (or larger jar if you like) and fill it to the top with salt and then drip a few drops of food coloring around the edges and use a blunt knife or skewer to poke down and then up...you will create amazing designs. Put a piece of aluminum foil on top and then screw down the lid. This makes the most beautiful paperweight for a desk or a great windowsill or shelf decorative piece. Kids will love to make these for Christmas presents for relatives. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, that is a very nice idea too, Vivian. I gotta try that another time. I do have tons of mason jars here small and big so, I definitely have something to try this out :-DDelete
I think it's charming, cracks and all!!! If you have a cat, it would be purrfect for cat food! Patsy fromReplyDelete
I love this!This is so creative! Ako din addicted to Pinterest. Sometimes I stop myself from visiting the page because there is soooo many things that i want to do especially now that Christmas is coming!ReplyDelete

Shop 41, 1 Dixon Street Sydney
After breakfast at Three tone cafe (read post below) I caught up with T to watch Bridesmaids. We were a little bit hungry beforehand so decided to have a quick snack at Crazy Wings.
Crazy wings is extremely asian.. so asian that we are the only 2 people in the restaurant that didnt converse in chinese. I take that as a good sign because it means the food is authentic.. right?
Crazy Wings serves traditional chinese cuisine which apparently seems to be meat on a skewer. We ordered four chicken wing skewers (Each skewer with 2 wings), half a dozen crazy lamb skewers, three mushroom skewers and a plate of mung bean noodles with sesame and bean sauce. All for $28! Great bargain.
Mung bean noodles.
The sauce was addictively good
Honey & Soy chicken wings
Yummy! These were delicious (and extremely unhealthy). The wings were perfectly cooked and you could taste the sweetness of the honey. Yum! This is the best way to cook chicken wings.
Original flavour chicken wings
T had this and commented that it tastes 'very china'. Haha.. what does that mean?
Half a dozen crazy lamb skewers
There are three skewers left on the plate because we ate the first three already. Sooo good :)
Crazy mushroom
Crazy wings is a pleasure that I only allow myself once every few months. The food is good but if you eat too much of it you could easily find your jeans fitting too tightly. Definitely recommended :)

More than 200 Glendale Water & Power employees and their union comrades packed City Hall Tuesday night to protest a contract that cuts their pay by 1.75%.
Despite the showing, the City Council — unable to reach a deal with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 18, the union representing the utility workers — voted unanimously, with one abstention, to impose the contract, which also requires workers to temporarily pay more for their own health insurance.
[This post has been corrected, please see note below for details.]
The move comes after nearly two years of unsuccessful negotiations with the Los Angeles-based union, which that also represents water and power workers in Los Angeles and Burbank.
IBEW spokesman Gus Corona attributed the contract terms not to budget concerns, as Glendale officials cited, but to what he claimed was an anti-union philosophy.
"It's more about busting the unions, that's what it's about," Corona said, as IBEW members whistled and clapped.
Mike Sagehorn, a former Glendale Water & Power employee who left about nine months ago because he was upset with how the utility treated workers, said others will quit, too.
"You guys are going to lose more," he said.
The contract, which takes effect May 16, will last through the fiscal year, which ends June 30, but will stay in effect until another contract is agreed upon, said city spokesman Tom Lorenz.
The union sent a counter-proposal to city officials Tuesday morning, but Ochoa said the contract was "insignificantly different" and didn't merit consideration.
The City Council, meanwhile, defended the decision to impose terms, citing protracted negotiations and the need to tamp down on costs.
"The council did not come to this decision easily nor rashly," said Glendale Councilman Ara Najarian. "It's unfortunate that we were not able to come to an agreement."
In addition to the pay cut, the contract requires utility workers to pay 75% of the increased costs for health insurance that took effect last June. It also bans strikes, walkouts, staged sick days and other work stoppages.
"This isn't going to be the end, future negotiations will come with the IBEW," Mayor Dave Weaver said. "As long as I'm a councilman here, I won't be willing to give away the taxpayers' money of this city to one group of employees at the expense of all others."
Councilman Zareh Sinanyan abstained from the vote because he hadn't been part of the years-long negotiations.
The IBEW filed a lawsuit in March asking a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to order stakeholders to assign mediators to help resolve the contract dispute.
A court meeting on the matter in downtown Los Angeles is scheduled for next month, but neither City Atty. Mike Garcia nor union spokesman Martin Marrufo would comment on what the council's decision this week means for the legal matter.
After the city agreed to allow IBEW to represent Glendale utility workers in 2011, both sides began to negotiate a new contract, but an agreement proved elusive. The city presented a final offer on March 29, 2012. It was rejected by union members soon after it was presented.
During negotiations, IBEW officials presented multi-year proposals seeking 4% cost-of-living raises retroactive to July 1, 2011 and enhancements in specialty pays. But city officials argued the terms would be excessive and unrealistic since other employee groups have not received similar adjustments, according to a city report.
The union dropped the 4% raise requirement after the two sides hit an impasse, but would not agree to paying 1.75% more toward pensions, Doyle said.
In all, the two sides presented at least 11 proposals during contract negotiations, according to a city report.
Tuesday marked the second time the City Council has enacted across-the-board pay cuts on employees.
In 2010, the council implemented a 1.5% pay decrease for rank-and-file employees via a seventh-month contract because their union, the Glendale City Employees Assn., would not contribute more towards pensions.
After the move, the union agreed to have its members give 1% more of their paychecks towards pensions, said Human Resources Director Matt Doyle. But the 1.5% pay cut continued without across-the-board raises.
City officials have been adjusting union contracts as revenues have dipped in recent years due to the protracted recession because employee costs, from healthcare to pension benefits, have increased in tandem, Doyle said.
IBEW members pay 8.5% of their paychecks towards their retirement benefits, while other employee groups pay up to 12.5%.
"Wage and benefit increases at this time would send the wrong message to our residents," Doyle said.
[For the Record, May 8, 2013: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that a 1.5% pay cut imposed on Glendale City Employees Assn. members on Nov. 2, 2010 was temporary. While the seven-month contract was replaced with a new one effective July 1, 2011, the pay cut continued as the employee group has not received across-the-board raises.]
