15 73-405. FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION -- PROFESSIONAL OR OCCUPATIONAL LI-Essentially the goal is to make sure that governmental licensing will not be used to force businesses or individuals to violate their religious beliefs because they disapprove of a person's behavior, choices, or lifestyle. (Think of the cake business in Oregon.) Predictably, the Democrats are in an uproar about this, because force is the only way that Democrats have to imagine the world.
16 CENSE -- CERTIFICATE OR REGISTRATION. (1) No occupational licensing board or
17 governmental subdivision or entity shall deny, revoke or suspend a person's
18 professional or occupational license, certificate or registration for any
19 of the following and the following are not unprofessional conduct:
20 (a) Declining to provide or participate in providing any service that
21 violates the person's sincerely held religious beliefs or exercise of
22 religion except where performing emergency response duties for public
23 safety.
24 (b) Refusing to affirm a statement or oath that is contrary to the per-
25 son's sincerely held religious beliefs or exercise of religion.
26 (c) Expressing sincerely held religious beliefs.
27 (d) Providing faith-based services.
28 (e) Making business-related decisions in accordance with sincerely
29 held religious beliefs or exercise of religion including, but not lim-
30 ited to:
31 (i) Employment decisions;
32 (ii) Client selection decisions;
33 (iii) Financial decisions.
34 (2) This section is not a defense to and does not authorize in any way
35 the intentional infliction of emotional or physical injury upon any person.
36 (3) This section does not authorize any person to engage in conduct that
37 violates the emergency medical treatment and active labor act, 42 U.S.C.,
38 section 1395dd, or the religious land use and institutionalized persons act,
39 42 U.S.C., section 2000cc-1,as of the effective date of this section.
I would prefer that it not be so narrowly defined. There are, surprisingly enough, many people who disapprove of homosexuality for reasons other than religious beliefs. But it is a start.

Through the winter, cleaning and trying to keep your office spotless is almost impossible to do. The main reason is germs, viruses, bacteria and similar threats. During winter, their numbers can be significantly increased, which is closely related to the increased risk of infections, common flu, and many other health issues. That's why it is mandatory to eliminate all germs from your office. How can you actually do it?
Read: Most common germ infested places in your office
- Clean windows
Maybe cleaning your windows sounds contradictory, but keeping your windows clean will reduce the number of germs inside. When your windows are dirty and there is a lot of debris on them, the amount of sunlight that comes inside is reduced. This means that the moisture will be increased, which is what germs love and thrive in. Once your windows are cleaned, the levels of moisture will be reduced and therefore the number of germs will be lowered as well. Note: This tip also promotes working efficiency and has a positive effect on the clients and employees.
- Disinfecting the entire office
Disinfecting is taboo and sadly, we believe, it still is for many office workers. The first disinfecting chemicals were harmful and dangerous to people. However, newer chemicals (which we use) are eco-friendly and completely safe. They kill germs and bacteria, but they have no effect on humans or animals. As such, it is highly recommended that an office is disinfected with the newest eco-friendly chemicals.
- Daily cleaning
Maybe this is too complicated or time-consuming, but we know that daily cleaning and wiping of the office is mandatory, especially during the winter. By doing this, the risk of germs spreading through the office will be prevented. Yes, germs are parasites that will spread unless treated, that is why daily cleaning is very important.
- Benefits of indoor plants
According to a study, NASA conducted in the 80s, office plants reduce the levels of toxins from your office by 90%. Some plants are more beneficial than the others, like ficus and golden pothos. Toxins are responsible for the increase of germs. They can promote spreading and even make the environment suitable to more advanced (dangerous) germs. Once the air is cleaned from the toxins, the environment won't be suitable to them, obviously. So they are less likely to spread and cause your harm.
- Pay special attention to the floors
The last, but not least, the floors in your office are exposed to a higher number of germs and a higher amount of moisture. This also makes the environment more adequate to germs and their spreading. Cleaning the floors on a regular basis is mandatory, especially if you have carpet.
These are just some of the most popular ways to disinfect your office and remove germs, we recommend daily cleaning, if that is not possible, at least clean every other day. Our motto is, daily cleaning keeps the germs dreaming!

Sing it, Demi Lovato.
The 23-year-old pop star stopped by BBC's Radio 1 live lounge on Wednesday, where she covered Hozier's hit single "Take Me to Church" and totally impressed with her haunting vocals.
"Who's on their way to @BBCR1?? I almost am!!!" the songstress wrote on Twitter, teasing her performance for her fans.
Likewise, Hozier tweeted a link to Demi's performance, so presumably he was also impressed by her chilling rendition.
Lovato's appearance comes just over a month before the release of her upcoming fifth album, Confident, which is due to drop October 16.

There is no greater challenge than speaking before a group, large or small. As a 30+ year professional Humorist, I find that each audience is unique. Each presentation poses a variety of expectations. Each brings unexpected circumstances that a speaker must react to, overcome, and circumvent. When I speak, many things happen that remind me of my dear Mother who always said, "One never knows, does one?" I have found that to be true. Just when I think and feel that I have seen it or experienced it all, something always seems to pop up that creates an exciting challenge.
Take the introduction, please! Good speakers need good introductions. It is the first contact with the audience. First impressions are usually the most important. A good introduction is tantamount to success on the platform. Alas, however, sometimes you not only don't get a good introduction, you don't even get a fair one. Once I was speaking in Hawaii to a large global company. The introducer gets up and says, after a long evening of food and drink and company speakers, "We have a very funny man from Birmingham, Alabama who is going to make you laugh." This was an international group, half Japanese and half from New Jersey. Most had never heard of Alabama or me. It was clear to me in that circumstance that the group had already decided mentally that nobody was going to "make them laugh." For the most part, they didn't laugh. It was a tough situation and I called upon all of my training, experience, and skill to pull it off.
Speaking at a lake house one evening, a big storm blew in right when I was introduced and the electrical power went out. It was pitch black, and the air conditioning was off too. Since the show had to go on I decided to be clever. I got a flashlight and used it as my spot light. I went on to speak for 45 minutes. The audience appreciated the innovation and we all had a delightful evening despite the difficulties.
While I was speaking at a luncheon in a Dallas civic center, a loud noise and a flashing light flew past the back of the stage. It was a maintenance worker driving a motorized floor sweeper. He stayed behind the stage for 35 minutes or so oblivious to the meeting going on and he never went away. Nobody told him there was a meeting going on. I told the audience that it was just one of their competitors trying to sweep them out of business. I made other jokes about it and went on to have a successful speech despite the interruption.
Like that TV commercial for Vonage, life comes at you fast and so do things that cause difficulty in your speaking. Things happen frequently, in fact, more often than not. You have to make the best of it. It pays to be prepared on the platform with a pre-planned quip or a terrific ad lib. Like Scouting, speaking before a live audience where you must stand and deliver, no matter what, being prepared for the unexpected is to be expected.
I would surmise that the most beneficial thing about being a professional Humorist is the fact that preparation is essential for success. We always look for the punch line in every situation. A speaker friend of mind is fond of saying, "It's not "IF" something strange will ever happen to you while speaking, it's "WHEN" will happen again?" So being prepared is the rule of the day when you are at the podium. Life and circumstances come at you fast. Strange things happen. Stay loose, and pray that your preparation is sufficient for every unexpected opportunity. Mom's philosophy is accurate; "One never knows, does one?"

Cats have a remarkable talent for seizing upon various things around the house and putting them to their own special use. That couch armrest? Why, it's a scratching post. This toilet-paper roll? How about a front paw treadmill. Those window blinds? Who knows what they're thinking with those.
No doubt with felines' co-opting tendencies in mind, one brilliant Japanese inventor has created what looks to be a regular old cereal bowl, but that's actually designed just to keep kitties cool.
Meet the Cooling Aluminium Kitty-Cat Pot.
The curved bowl, advertised as being ergonomically shaped to accommodate curled up cats of all sizes, evidently helps draw away body heat to give pets some much needed relief on hot days. Plus, its convincing dishware-like appearance will help ensure cats experience the quiet thrill that comes from hanging out in something they think their owners might have been planning to eat out of.
Sure, it might sound a tad gimmicky, especially with a price tag of just over $50, but they've been selling like hotcakes. Cooling Aluminium Kitty-Cat Pots are currently sold-out on Amazon Japan.

It's like I unintentionally planned a "ME Day" after not being able to do so last weekend. It's a little ritual I have for myself every birthday, to just spend the whole day pampering myself. Being unwell and having to rush back to JB last week, I obv didn't have time for any. So just nice le fats is at Jakarta, I have all the time for myself!
Today started with a Vit C ritual facial at #PolishedHandAndFootSpa. Just what I needed to lighten my acne scar, remove dead skin cells and white/blackheads. My face look super duper smooth and glowy now, I'm very impressed! My therapist is very meticulous too, no blackhead was left unsqueezed (like as though she really hate them lol) yet it doesn't hurt at all, I actually nod off and she thought I was in pain. Lol.
Gosh, I'm addicted now.
Then we move on to gelish mani and pedi! (Still at Polished btw~) It's been a long while since I let the professionals take care of my neglected hands and feet so I felt super pampered to go through the full treatment, inclusive of their organic spa treatment too! 👸🏼
Ok, still waiting for the PR for Sloggi to arrive so here's my #motd! Lancome Loose Powder, Concealer, Blusher and Eyeliner. Bump-free face, I love! No filter or edits at all~
#Notd for my happy feet. Been longing for some dusty purple and this shade is so pretty 💜
A very girly #notd for the hands. Can't go wrong with pastel and gold, always so classy.
Mirror #ootd taken at the newly revamped 313 Triumph store just now!
Kept getting the same comments from the girls at Givenchy just now..
"why are you so tan?!"
"Are you going zoukout?"
"You are dressed very casual today!"
😭😭😭 It's Saturday, let me dress down abit leh! Lol. Always a joy meeting all my fellow #beautyblogger gfs at events, they are so much nicer and real than the fashion-related ones. Well except for the 👻.
And this is my #hotd after my short trip to the salon. If only I can have such nice hair day every day!
I bought this hair wash and blow package back in 2013, way before I've my hair sponsor, Bloc+, and had only gotten to using it four (inclusive of today) out of the 12 sessions. Bought it back then as a monthly treat for myself since the hairdresser, Lucy, does the best head and shoulder massage. Think hot towel compress and a good 5 mins (at least) massage focusing on the shoulder.
Shiok! And she always style my hair really pretty 😊
I'm not a fan of their cut and colour, even the treatment is so-so, but am always willing to come back just for the hair wash. Really reasonable for a shop in town. The last I did my updo there, it was only $25 extra – on top of my wash. Go figure!
Here's the deets if you're intrigued: Highest Hair & Beauty Salon at FEP #03-18.
P.S Still in love w my skin ❤

Emotion Systems has two products for achieving Loudness Compliance
eFF is our 'desktop' tool, designed for manual and interactive operation, although it can be used with a watchfolder. The results of analysis are presented in the UI, along with measurements, logs and graphs. You can request a PDF report if required. Based upon the analysis, you decide whether to correct the file, and select this from the UI.
eNGINE is our automation tool, designed for use with large volumes of content, either using watchfolders (four as standard, with up to sixteen available), or for API control from a custom MAM, or by control from tools like Telestream's Vantage. As an automation tool
Both eFF and eNGINE use the exact same technology for loudness measurement and correction, and have very similar dialogs for configuring settings.
Measurement settings start by choosing a Loudness Standard. Appropriate defaults then automatically appear, and you can adjust as needed.
Correction settings would normally be to Normalise Program Loudness, and to correct True Peaks. We also have a window function that would be used if the content as a lineup tone at the start.
Where the products differ is that a profile in eFF configures the channel layout to assign, based upon the number of audio channels detected in the file. For example, you specify that if eight tracks of audio are present, treat them as four stereo pairs, or treat them as a 5.1 followed by a stereo. However, in eNGINE, which is designed to carry out multiple processing steps if required, you define a separate workflow for each possible channel layout. So for the examples just given, you could create two workflows.

Australia's BIGGEST Weddings & Party Sale STARTS NOW! Hurry, while stock lasts! >Shop Now
Stunning Tissue Paper Flower Ideas
WOW! I am looking at a picture of a beautiful bouquet of flowers. With soft pink, cream, yellow, purple and green colours, it looks very dreamy. The thing is, these flowers are tissue paper flowers and they look amazing! Martha Stewart how do you do this??? Quite easy apparently and perfect for those wanting something a little different for their special occasion be it wedding, christening or birthday or a just cause I want to party, party. I can even see these being used just as a decoration at home because they are just so darn pretty! Perfect to add in amongst real flowers for a little edge or you may want to use them if you suffer hay fever and don't want to use latex flowers. You could embellish them with little crystals glued in the centre of each flower, use green ribbon and loop it around the bouquet like leaves and add a little waft of your favourite perfume or for sentimental reasons a little spritz of a loved one's favourite perfume.
Martha Stewart's paper range is so easy to assemble. I used the pink paper pom poms to decorate my sister-in-laws hens night over in Canada – actually it was that trip to Canada that I discovered Martha and her magic. Everything just folds or pops out and with a little twist of wire or twine and your room is set up ready for the guests to arrive. I loved the pom poms so much I went a tad overboard and filled up the entire room with pink pom poms on everything! I didn't realise it until the last pom pom was placed on the side of the cake. These Martha Stewart Vintage Girl Tissue Paper Flowers Decorations come with all the pieces you need, florist wire and tape, polystyrene balls and easy to read instructions. Just be careful, because it is so easy to put together you could very well end up filling up your entire home with these flowers (not a bad thing though!). The key to a great event is ease of set up and if things are too fiddly to do, then it just causes unnecessary stress. Australia's #1 Wedding and Party Shop helps take away the hassle by providing you with these wonderful gems to set your day up with ease but leaving your guest impressed with just how much effort you must have slogged away at putting everything together – oh if only they knew!
Flower girls will love carrying these light-weight and oh-so-pretty bouquets around, or make one up to throw over your shoulder to the gaggle of hopeful ladies-in-waiting before you leave on your honey moon. If I had access to Pink Frosting when I was getting married I would have definitely picked up a few of these bouquets to use for my wedding – especially with the bouquet toss. Pop bunches into teapot vases for your table centre pieces for your garden party. Or if you have a daughter/s I am sure they would love to have their room prettied up with a few little vintage tissue paper bouquets. That is the great thing with Pink Frosting, their products not only make your occasion stand out, but are so easy to assemble, beautiful to look at and can be used after the event to decorate at home. Definitely value for money!

City Takes Action To Protect LIMP Greenway
On October 14, 2008, Fox 5-TV of New York continued their investigation of Queens home owners infringing of the Long Island Motor Parkway greenway in Oakland Gardens.
In an exclusive VanderbiltCupRaces.com interview, resident Lynn Henry commented: "We were running on the Motor Parkway when we saw John Deutzman from Channel 5 news. He was there to followup on his July report. Letters had been sent out to the residents about their property lines and that their fences/equipment needed to be removed without 30 days or the city would remove it and charge them for it. There were three home owners who were having their fences taken down that day and he interviewed two of them plus tried to interview people who haven't complied and refused to talk. He also interviewed me. "
Thanks, Lynn for the report!

Several days after I stumbled dazed across the trade show floor, I'm still processing all the sights and sounds that I encountered — and all of the press kits that I amassed — during the 25th annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair, which, as always, was held at the blister-inducing labyrinth otherwise known as the Javits Center in Manhattan.
Where to even start in?
How about with something that may have not been the most sustainable of the lot but was certainly one of the more rubberneck-worthy (save for Colin Selig's repurposed propone tank sofas) designs on display?
How about a big ol' orange cauldron that invites folks to explore the great outdoors — or their fenced-in backyards — while also enjoying "the essence of outdoor bathing?"
I think that sounds about right.
The creation of nature-centric, Netherlands-based company Weltevree, the Dutchtub actually made its splashy stateside debut back at the 2006 edition of ICFF when attendees clamored over the portable, wood-fired hot tub resembling a colorful human soup pot. This year, it returned with no less fanfare and accompanied by a range of additional outdoorsy offerings from Weltevree including a wheelbarrow-style mobile bench, a bonfire-friendly outdoor chair, and a gorgeous al fresco cookstove.
The simple, portable design of the handmade-in-Holland Dutchtub is rather genius: Made from durable polyester and weighing a little over 165 pounds, the four-person tub — in addition to the "original" it's now available as a loveseat and in a wood-clad model — is easily transportable (two burly dudes with a pickup truck would help although it can also be tied behind a bike or canoe) and can be fired up wherever you choose to plop it down (a serene woodland meadow with access to a really long garden hose would be ideal).
Aside from the tub itself, the Dutchtub comes equipped with an attached stainless steel fire coil, a temperature-regulating fire basket that's placed inside the coil, a turbo valve garden hose connector, and, last but not least, a wok that serves as a plug when placed atop the coil. Yep, in addition to keeping the heat contained within the coil, the wok makes it totally possible to cook up a delicious stir-fry meal while enjoying a leisurely soak. Brilliant.
A bit on how the water itself is heated: "A fire in the coil warms the water in the tub. Natural circulation causes the colder water at the bottom of the Dutchtub to go in the spiral, heat up and flow out at the top."
I'm quite enamored with the Dutchtub although I don't think my landlord would be too keen on the idea of me hauling one of these bad boys — they're also available in "Dawn White" and "Night Blue" in addition to the signature, patriotic orange — to the roof of my apartment building. But a boy can dream, can't he?
If you want to see more of the Dutchtub, Weltevree has embarked on a month-long West Coast roadtrip in "search for sustainable social initiatives such as communities, inspiring Weltevree locations, local heroes and even new products." I guess that means you should just keep an eye out for a rental car with a giant orange bowl affixed to the roof. Additionally, the company has jut launched an "experience center" at Jungle Design in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where you can test drive the original Dutchtub as well as the newer wood and loveseat models in person.
Finally, be sure to stay tuned throughout the week for additional ICFF and NY Design Week coverage from yours truly. Plus, Lloyd Alter over at sister site TreeHugger is reporting on eco-minded highlights that he stumbled upon during the show as well.

The Surgery Center
An Effective, Convenient Alternative to Major Orthopaedic Surgery
The majority of patients who come to Southern Bone & Joint Specialists can be treated conservatively with non-surgical modalities like physical therapy or medication. When one of our specialists determines that surgery is needed to relieve pain or correct an orthopaedic condition, the Surgery Center can frequently provide a convenient and non-invasive alternative to invasive major surgery and lengthy hospital stays.
Outpatient surgery offers a number of benefits over the traditional hospital setting. In fact, there is a national trend toward outpatient surgery centers as physicians and patients become more aware of their benefits. Many of the less invasive procedures performed there are equally or more effective than major surgery, and provide the added benefits of:
- Reduced pain
- Less risk
- Shorter recovery time
- Lower cost
In many cases, only local anesthesia and a few stitches are needed, so you are able to return home quickly and get right back to work. The Surgery Center at Dothan has been providing the advantages of minimally invasive surgery for several years to people in the Wiregrass area.
We Specialize in the Use of Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques
Each member of our surgical staff has expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques and the use of state-of-the-art equipment, such as fiber-optic lenses, microscopic cameras, high resolution monitors, and specialized scoping devices. Our Board-certified surgeons are performing more and more minimally invasive surgeries everyday to relieve orthopaedic pain due to degenerative joint disease, trauma, and especially, sports injuries. These include:
- Arthroscopic knee and rotator cuff surgery
- Carpal tunnel release
- Bunionectomies
- Spine surgery for certain conditions, including simple lumbar dissectomies and cervical fusions
The Surgery Center Prides Itself on Patient Satisfaction
We are proud of our excellent patient satisfaction rating, which has consistently been in the 98th percentile for several years. We believe this is due to our emphasis on efficiency and cost effectiveness. The Surgery Center offers patients the personalized care of a small medical facility plus all of the advanced surgical resources and technology available at larger hospitals.
We strive to reduce the number of steps you must go through both prior to and on the day of service. For example, rather than having you come in before the day of surgery for the nursing and anesthesia assessment, we do it over the phone so you don't have to take extra time off from work. On the day of surgery, we streamline the process to ensure that you get in and out in a timely fashion and not have to spend the entire day.
We also work with your insurance provider to obtain the best possible coverage. Our billing system is set up so that we can let you know the exact cost of your procedure well before the date of service. This is very helpful for patients who will have significant out-of-pocket expenses.
Looking to the Future
At the Surgery Center, our goal is to continue to provide the personalized care of a smaller medical center even as we expand to satisfy the medical needs of a growing patient population. Recently, we added another 5,000 square feet to the medical center and two 24-hour observation rooms for managing post-op pain in patients undergoing more invasive procedures.
For an Effective, Convenient Alternative to Major Orthopaedic Surgery in the Wiregrass Area
The Surgery Center
- One of the largest orthopaedic specialty practices in Alabama
- The personalized care of a smaller medical facility
- The advanced surgical resources and capabilities of a large hospital
- A surgical staff with expertise in minimally invasive techniques
- Reduced pain, risk, recovery time, and cost
- Efficient and cost-effective patient care
- A tradition of excellence in patient satisfaction

The One Thing Necessary
I really think that if you did nothing else for Lent – no fasting, no penances, no abstaining- and merely prayed the Prayer of St Ephraim with an attentive and reflective heart that you would have a very fruitful Lent.
I am off to another half-fast Lent, but I pray this prayer:
There are a lot of versions of this prayer; my favorite reads "Take from me the spirit of indifference, despondency, lust for power and idle chatter."
Solidarity Without Sympathy
I heard Rick Santorum on the radio the other day, going on about how much he really cares about the working class and the poor. He then sort of scolded them for their bad behavior, for their fornicating and divorcing and having kids out of wedlock. He did not suggest that these social pathologies have anything to do with lack of economic opportunity, though anyone who knows any intact families, even highly religious ones, trying to make ends meet on a low wage job understands just how hard that is on family life. Conservatives, of course, are big on blaming the poor for their dysfunction, very short on seeing any connection to the breakdown of an economy where even unskilled workers once could easily find jobs that paid well enough to support a comfortable life for their wives and kids.
Minimum Wage, Maximum Slash
Mr Santorum also lambasted social programs, which allegedly sap incentive and make people dependent on the government.
Rick Santorum, of course, like most on the right, opposes raising the minimum wage and favors cutting social programs. The conventional right's only prescription for the collapse of the working class is more of the same free market medicine that has led to the very economic disparity that plagues us: tax cuts, deregulation, policies which favor the rich, the gutting of the labor movement.
The incoherence of the thing that calls itself conservatism is laid bare in this juxtaposition of making low wage work the norm and slashing any assistance from the State. And what are they supposed to do, the working poor? "Stop being poor", as one Fox commentator suggested recently?
Reminds me of the young man I talked to twenty five years ago in Northern Virginia, when the whole process of the looting of the working class was fairly young. He was among the first hatchlings of the Catholic libertarian flock, who, when I told him of the sort of hopeless poverty I had encountered in the South Bronx, quipped "They should just start businesses."
I said at the time that this was sort of like yelling to the man half way over Niagara Falls to swim faster against the current.
A New Ethos
But then the American ethos is man-eat-man, every dog for himself. They call it "rugged individualism", the insistence that everyone can haul himself up by his bootstraps.
Even when he doesn't have any boots.
What we need is a new ethos, a rugged solidarism.
A Good Guy With A Nuke, Ha Ha
And speaking of utter cluelessness, it is not apparent where the line between politician and standup comic lies these days. I must say that as bad as Obama has been I am relieved that I have never had to utter the words "President McCain" and admit that I would rather have even Joe Biden a breath away from the presidency than this woman, seen here at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference:
Bad video quality, but you get the idea. This last comment, by the way, was followed by sustained applause.
Which does not bode well at all.
Lord have mercy.
And hasten, Spring…

Joining a Gym can be so challenging along with embarrassing when you are a bit overweight and a senior.
Last Spring I joined the local gym one day when I was in a mood to change my fitness level and to take off some weight. I also decided to ask for a trainer and was provided with a very polite 19-year-old young man. This young man, himself, was training to compete as a bodybuilder and he already had muscles on top of muscles on his upper arms. The thought came to mind, "this young teenager doesn't know how a senior lady such as myself feels"!!
To say the least, I was quite embarrassed to start working at some of the weight resistant equipment while he watched and counted the times I lifted and pushed the heavy levers; one, two, three, four, five!!! My goodness, by the time I was getting to the third repeat of fifteen repetitions my muscles were not listening to my mind any longer! This young trainer would take one finger and help me lift the silver bar to raise it over my head!
The months went by as I tried to get in to exercise three days per week. It was not easy and of course I wasn't making it a priority as I should have done. Finally it was December and Christmas was just around the corner. Deciding that there was just no time to get to that Gym, I quit going. What a mistake this was at the time.
Well, I am back! I have decided to get back there and start over again! This is my first week and there have been smiles from people who recognize me from the last session giving this exerciser a sense of being right at home. The feeling this time is one of motivation rather than one of embarrassment. I have the same young man training me but he has since become a certified trainer and appears to be better prepared to instruct me with a bit more knowledge and encouragement than shown the previous time.
I do think that this time I will make it!

Grand Hyatt Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Price: RM2699- 2899++. Pro: My favourite place for wedding venue. Fantastic silver-ish lights and design on the ceiling, romantic LED lighting, artistic table scape… who wouldn't dream of it 😀
Con: Pricey $$$$$
Jun 2014
On Saturday evening, I attended a good friend's wedding dinner at The Grand Hyatt and it was an unforgettable evening. Aside from the traditional Chinese eight-course feast that contained a little twist, there was a Martini Bar before dinner, and after, Whiskey and Cheese with a dancefloor. The wedding began at 7pm at the Bar just outside the Grand Salon Ballroom with an open kitchen. At the same time, canapes were served to whet our appetites; Peking Duck Pancakes and mini Truffle Risotto Balls.
For the appetizers, each waiter carried out a huge silver tray with five big plates and placed it on a rack near to each table. They painstakingly portioned out into ten plates. When all ten plates were portioned out, they were served together per table. This process took a while but the risotto balls and martinis before had filled us all very nicely so no one minded. Appetizers consisted of five elements: spicy marinated jellyfish, broiled prawns, prawn balls rolled in thin roasted almonds, chicken strips in a spicy appetizing peanut sauce and a sweet beancurd roll filled with an assortment of vegetables. The chicken strips in peanut sauce were the best on the plate for I especially love peanut-based sauces. For the soup course, a large lobster piece swam in a thick well-seasoned stock filled with crab meat.
For the seafood course, a little claypot on a little burner was served to each of us. It was unusual and looked inviting. It could have been a little theatrical but the flavours within were anything but. It was extremely appetizing and the huge abalone was fresh and juicy.
THIS! Black Pepper Wagyu Beef with Crystal Noodles (cellophane noodles). My friend loves wagyu beef and this dish had her name written all over it! Generous cubes of wagyu beef fried with mushrooms in a thick and dark peppery-soy-laden sauce and the chewy crystal noodles were gleefully swimming in the appetizing sauce. I mixed in the surprisingly spicy Hae Bee Hiam (dried shrimp sambal) condiment and sheer delight ensued which caused me to happily lap it up and the flavours lingered on to the next day.
And finally the dessert, Italian Pistachio Panna Cotta! I was so looking forward to this but it was a tad disappointing. The berries compote overwhelmed any pistachio flavour but the custard below was thick smooth and rich – it reminded me of a soy beancurd pudding and I could not detect the italian flavours. Still this little twist to the traditional Chinese dinner was well worth the wait.
What a splendid evening and I was sad when it all ended and good times stopped.
