Swim About Freely In AquariaJanuary 27, 2012
Happy Chinese New Year :) Chinese New Year is not just about receiving ang pows, foods or drinks but also meeting up with family, relatives and friends. After meeting up with my family and relatives for the first and second day of CNY, it's time to meet up with my A4 gangsters!
So let's see, A4 Gangsters are now not in a group that we always used to be. Growing up together since high school has made our friendship real close but since graduation, we went our own way but still keep in touch as usual :) I'm really proud of our friendship.
A4 Gangsters decided to visit the Aquaria in KLCC. I have never been there before either.
After having Subway for lunch, we headed back to Convention Centre to Aquaria.
Although it is weekday, it's considered holiday because most people haven't start working or class yet. Aquaria was quite crowded.
At the entrance, you would see DNA pool where you can actually put your hand inside to touch the creatures.
Then we saw Paul's cousin. I mean octopus.
The tickets for student price was RM30.00 and we only spent 2 hours inside. The aquaria was quite small. I wanted to see hammer shark but don't have =(. I think the Singapore one is better. Oh well, but it's an experience for us XD
We started camwhoring and uploaded it to Instagram.
Then, we sent Leon home and fetch Yik Luei for dinner. We dined at Da Sa Rang Korean Restaurant and Calvin joined us too. Too bad we didn't take pictures there. My camera went out of battery because I forgot to charge so we only rely on iPhone.
Later, we decided to go Thean Hou Temple but it was too jammed. So we drove to KL for city-view and drop by Yik Luei's house.
Made it for CNY movie at 11.45pm and Leon joined us for movie. LOL quite complicated right, plus and minus then change people. When Wen Jie explained to me in SMS, I don't get it either.
Was really tired for the whole day. I slept around 3am last night because I was too excited to meet with A4 Gangsters till I can't sleep HAHA. And I was energetic with them until after dinner where my energy bar drained.
I'm gonna with meet them tomorrow too! Wooohooooo!! I'm still excited but I really need sleep :)

TPWD: Black bears sighted in West Texas
Black bears, which normally are not seen in this part of the state, have been sighted near San Angelo, Junction and Menard, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The first sighting was about 20 miles west of Junction on Interstate 10 on Aug. 6. This was followed by two sightings about 20 miles west of Menard on Highway 190 on Aug. 8 and another sighting near U.S. Highway 67 between Mertzon and Barnhart -- about 30 miles southwest of San Angelo -- on the Aug. 12, said wildlife diversity biologist Jonah Evans, the department's bear coordinator.
"The drought and wildfires have caused bears to disperse in search of food into portions of the state where they have not been seen for some time," he said.
"Although all of the sightings have been of a relatively small bear, we cannot be certain that they are all of the same individual. From the reports, it appears that the bear or bears exhibited a healthy fear of humans and is of very little danger to people," Evans said.
Black bears are the smallest North American bear and usually weigh between 100 and 300 pound. While bears once were native to most of the state, breeding populations are now only found in the Trans-Pecos, primarily in the Big Bend, he said.
For more information, call the Parks and Wildlife Department at 432-837-2051.

Καλό Πάσχα!
We will celebrate Orthodox Easter by introducing a new contest here on Classic-Castle, focusing on the bastion of Orthodoxy in the Middle Ages: The Byzantine Empire.
Byzantium is the name that we today apply to the Roman Empire in the Middle Ages. Its inhabitants, however, knew themselves and their empire as Roman and nothing less, laying claim to the combined heritage of Christianity, the Ancient Roman Empire and Ancient Greek learning. While the predominant language of Byzantium was Greek the empire was vast and multiethnic with many different peoples being represented, most importantly Armenians, some of which reached high positions within the empire, even occasionally the throne of the emperor himself.
While the frontiers of the empire were in constant flux, sometimes reaching far away to Syria, Hungary or Italy, sometimes barely covering the capital of Constantinople (Istanbul), this same capital, often known simply as the City or as New Rome, remained the sacred center of Byzantium throughout its time. The city of Constantine, the biggest Christian city of its age, was in the Byzantine worldview the center of the world and the seat from which the Emperor ruled as the viceroy of God. It fell to a crusading host in 1204, marking the end of Byzantium as a force to be reckoned with. Constantinople was, however, retaken in 1261 and Byzantium was restored, albeit as a shadow of its former days, remaining until the City fell again in 1453, this time to the Ottoman Turks.
The emperor and his court was of immense importance in Byzantium, both in reality and as an idea. Apart from the obvious functions of ruling the empire and leading the army he would also fulfill certain liturgical functions in the Great Church of Constantinople (Hagia Sophia) as well as take part in countless solemn courtly ceremonies. There was also much mystique associated with the emperor, who would sometimes be thought to possess certain fantastical or astrological abilities. All this did nothing of course to stop many emperors from being decadent and hedonistic murderers who as often as not ended up being deposed, blinded or simply killed by rivals after short and violent reigns.
Another immensely important symbol in Byzantium was the Mother of God. Whereas she is primarily known as the Virgin Mary in the West, it is Mary as the Mother of God that is stressed in Eastern Christianity, and especially in Byzantium. She was the protector of Constantinople itself and an icon of her was often used as a battle standard of the imperial army. It is also believed that this powerful image of Mary in Byzantium contributed to the fact that so many women came to power in Constantinople, acting as the earthly reflections of the Mother of God, just as the emperors acted as the earthly reflections of Christ.
The rules are simple enough: build something inspired by Byzantine history! You may build in any scale and mosaics are welcome as well (Byzantium was well-known for its mosaics after all - or why not build an icon of the Mother of God for example?). Third party accessories are allowed and so are custom minifigures.
I will judge based both on the quality and creativity of your creation and on historic relevance, this is about learning new history after all. Historic relevance can of course mean many things, but my point here is that I want the creation to be recognizable as Byzantine or to tell us something interesting about Byzantine history.
I will, in good Byzantine autocratic tradition, judge all by myself, meaning that each and everyone is welcome to attend, regular members as well as mods and admins.
Yes, there will be a prize. Since I have put this contest in Medieval Life and since the focus is on history, the prize will be a bit unconventional, that is, a book:
The winner will receive Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire, by acclaimed scholar Judith Herrin. It is an accessible book for a general audience but of utmost academic quality.
How to enter and deadline
There is a topic for entries in Castle MOCs. Please post your entries there and keep questions and discussions on Byzantium here. The deadline is the 31st of May (Orthodox Pentecost!).
Here is a brief timeline:
330: Emperor Constantine moves the Roman capital to Constantinople, on the site of the ancient city of Byzantion.
527: Justinian I is crowned emperor, heralding the peak of Byzantine power in the Middle Ages.
568: Most of Italy is lost to Langobards.
634-: Loss of Egypt and most of the Middle East and North Africa to Arabs.
716: Treay between Byzantium and the Bulgars, leading to a Bulgar realm in the Balkans on old Byzantine lands.
726-842: Iconoclasm. Fierce battles and theological disputes regarding the place of icons and images in Christianity. After much fighting the icons were allowed still.
1018: Bulgaria annexed by the Empire, under the emperor Basil "The Bulgar-Slayer". The Balkans Byzantine territory again.
1054: Schism between the churches of Constantinople and (Old) Rome, deepening a rift that would lead to what we today call the Orthodox and Catholic churches.
1071: Devastating defeat at the hands of the Turks at Manzikert.
1204: Constantinople conquered by Franks and Venetians in the Fourth Crusade.
1261: Constantinople conquered by Michael Palaiologos, reestablishing a Byzantine Empire.
1453: Constantinople falls to the Ottoman Turks.
And further reading:
Byzantium 1200: A page with reconstructions of how Constantinople may have looked like in Byzantine times.

How to Survive Missing Meds and Lost Checked Luggage
Posted by August 22, 2016in Travelon
Dear Tokio Marine HCC - MIS Group:
Ireland is lovely and I'm having a great time here. There's been a small snafu, however. Not only has my luggage gone missing, but so have some vital medications.
Here's what happened:
A country sojourn was scheduled on my itinerary. A flight from Dublin to a small-town airport went off without a hitch. I spent time in a castle and amongst acres and acres of stunning green landscape. Needless to say, the beauty of it all put me in a very relaxed mood. All too soon, it was time to return to the city (not that that's a bad thing, mind you).
In a laid-back mood, I arrived at the small-town airport, put my luggage on the conveyor belt, and started through the security gate. The officer there immediately sent me back to the luggage area – no carry-ons would be allowed onboard the flight. I was confused. I was following the exact same protocol as I had with the flight that had brought me to the countryside. Shouldn't the flight back to the city have the same rules and regulations? Apparently not.
It wasn't until I was aboard the flight that I developed an uneasy feeling. There were things on my carry-on that were imperative to the trip, not the least of which were my medications. I calmed myself with the fact that the flight back to Dublin was a short one. All luggage would most likely be handed straight over on the tarmac.
Well, as you know from the beginning of this letter, that's not what happened. And now I'm in Dublin with no luggage, no medication, and several days of sightseeing ahead of me. The airline is trying to track down the missing items, but there's been no progress as of yet. What should I do in the interim?
The Accident-Prone Tourist
P.S. Thinking I should've kissed Ireland's Blarney Stone when I had a chance. If its legend holds true, maybe I'd have been able to smooth talk security into letting me take my carry-on aboard the plane.
Dear Accident-Prone Tourist,
Don't let these circumstances dampen your love of Ireland! We hope your luggage makes its way back to you in short order, and intact. In the meantime, let's tackle the issue of your missing prescription medications right away.
Travel Assistance Benefits
Our Atlas Travel and Atlas Premium travel medical plans are accompanied by a full set of free and valuable travel and medical assistance services. One of these travel assistance benefits allows Atlas policyholders free access to On Call International, a risk management firm that can assist travelers in case of emergency.
In the case of lost or stolen prescription medications abroad, On Call recommends that you first visit a clinic or physician who could provide you with a local prescription. If the prescribed medication is not available, or if it's sold under a different name, On Call can provide a list of safe, alternative drugs for your condition.
Depending on local customs laws in Dublin, On Call may even be able to help ship your prescriptions directly to you. While the service does not cover the cost of replacing your missing medications, you can rest easy knowing you don't have to deal with getting them replaced all on your own.
To reach On Call, contact the Tokio Marine HCC – MIS Group customer service department as you would with any other customer service inquiry. Our customer service team can be reached at (800) 605-2282. To view other travel assistance services that accompany your Atlas plan, click here.
International Provider Network
Please note that Ireland is one of 130 countries and territories worldwide where Tokio Marine HCC - MIS Group maintains relationships with hospitals and doctors. In fact, should you go the first route and need to schedule a new-patient appointment, we can help you locate the appropriate local healthcare professional. Simply phone us at 1-800-605-2282 or 1-317-262-2132.
As an Atlas policyholder, you can also access Equian International, our international provider network, online at equian.com. Simply fill in the country, city, and type of healthcare provider required, along with the language, gender, and service criteria, and nearby healthcare experts/facility recommendations will appear onscreen.
Lost Checked Luggage
As for your clothing and other lost items, the fact that TM HCC - MIS Group travel policies provide coverage for lost checked luggage will ease your concerns. Our Atlas Travel policy provides up to $500 in coverage (per certificate period), whereas Atlas Premium offers up to $1,000 (per certificate period). This lost checked luggage benefit covers the replacement of clothes and personal hygiene items, not to exceed $50 on any one item.
We will provide the above benefits only when the conditions and restrictions in this policy and the following are met, and
The lost checked luggage must have been checked, in accordance with routine luggage checking procedures, for transportation with you, on board a regularly scheduled commercial airline or cruise line, upon which you were a fare-paying passenger; and
You must file a formal claim for lost luggage with the transportation provider, and follow all instructions and take all measures as directed by the transportation provider to locate and retrieve the lost checked luggage; and
You must provide us with copies of all documentation of the claim filed with the transportation provider, and a written statement from the transportation provider confirming that the luggage was checked and after careful search, the luggage remains missing; and
The lost checked luggage must be lost as of the date of our payment and as of that date, must have been lost for at least 10 days.
Feel free to give us a call for further clarification, or if you have additional questions, at 1-800-605-2282.
Tokio Marine HCC - MIS Group
P.S. Martin in our offices kissed the Blarney Stone. Though he's quite the silver-tongued gent, even he couldn't have convinced airport security to go against regulations if carry-ons weren't permitted on a flight.

NOTE: The Big Red Apple is now TheBigRedApple.net
To view this post at its new location click HERE!
It is so lovely outside today that I almost don't want to be indoors writing to you, however, I would be a terrible blogger if I failed to inform you of some of the wonderful events the Big Apple has to offer this weekend.
First, an addition to tonight's lineup; a new exhibit is opening at Mixed Greens– X 10th Anniversary Exhibition:
With X, we present a large selection of the many amazing artists with whom we've been privileged to work. Their techniques and subject matter vary widely, but all of these artists captured our attention either by their extraordinary use of materials or through their deep examination and investigation of their subjects. There is no theme uniting the 84 participating artists—the only common denominator is Mixed Greens. Some might call it narcissistic. Others nostalgic. We consider it to be a celebration of some of the best artists working today.
I've heard tell that the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck will also be there!
If you've never been to a Contra Dance event you should experience the madness Friday night at the LGBT Community Center; this event will have the added twist of being "gender neutral." There are a lot of twists in contra already, that one makes this a true 'only-in-New-York' event.
If you're looking for a nice way to enjoy the evening outdoors you can enjoy a childhood favorite on the shore of the Hudson River; The Wizard of Oz will be screening on Pier 46!
Inside, and a bit further north, The Raspberry Brothers will be tearing apart the 80s classic Pretty in Pink! This is a must see if you're going to attend the Pretty in Pink Prom Saturday night (keep reading for details). I guarantee their antics will give you excellent cocktail conversation.
So, The Prom, well, Pretty in Pink Prom Night is happening Saturday night at The Bell House (where else?). It's going to be an epic nostalgia trip complete with a "totally radical giant 80s prom backdrop," in front of which you can have your prom pictures professionally shot, a "50 foot balloon drop" AND "bathrooms stocked with Aqua Net for heavy primping." Not to mention one of the best 80s cover bands available- The Engagements! Get out there and have the prom you always dreamed of!
Also on Saturday it's Bronx Gridlock vs. Brooklyn Bombshells at the Hunter College Sportsplex! If you haven't made it out to a Gotham Girls Roller Derby bout this year, this is a great time to go!
ALSO on Saturday Rooftop Films is screening a movie at The Old American Can Factory- 45365 won Best Documentary at SXSW 2009:
45365 captures the plain pathos of a single place like few other films ever do. It is amusing and informative, exciting and realistic, tragic and eternal. But as I said, this synopsis is inadequate. To get at these emotions and ideas, you could live all your life in Sidney, Ohio, or you could see this film.
The Oberlin band Like Bells will perform before the screening; my little sister is currently an Oberlin student so all things Oberlin have a special place in my heart.
Of course I'm also a tremendous francophile so I may have to celebrate Bastille Day on Saturday. There are a number of celebrations in the city; my pick is the Petanque Tournament at Cornichon. Petanque is sort of like frenchified bocce ball; there will also be lots of wine and good cheer!
On Sunday you can continue to embrace your inner francophile at Le Poisson Rouge, where they will be screening one of the most influential French films of the French New Wave- The 400 Blows. François Truffaut's masterpiece gives you an intimate look into the Paris of the 1950s.
Also on Sunday you can swing under the stars with George Gee's Big Band at Moondance on Pier 54!
Monday is the start of the Metropolitan Opera's Summer Series; Paulo Szot, Lisette Oropesa, Alek Shrader, and Vlad Iftinca will be performing on Central Park's Summerstage. If you can't get any of the free tickets for this event check out the performances in the outer boroughs throughout the week.
Also on Monday, Wilco will be performing in Keyspan Park; Yo La Tengo will open. Check out this video:
Have a marvelous weekend and stay tuned for additions!
NOTE: The Big Red Apple is now TheBigRedApple.net

Last week A and I went to see Lorenzo Pisoni perform his childhood in his one man show 'Humor Abuse.' The theater is tiny and Pisoni draws his audience into the story (sometimes literally) while keeping them on their toes (beware of those sandbags!). One of my favorite lines went something like…
'So it was me and a lifesize model of me and several helium balloons in the steamer trunk and it was summer and it was hot and sometimes the balloons would break, and it was very loud. This started when I was three. I HATE balloons.'
The tricks and acrobatics were exciting but it was the story that really drew the piece together and made it feel worth watching. I only wish clowning was always that engaging!
Friday night I saw Emanuel and the Fear play at Crash Mansion (I mentioned the show to you in my weekend post). The number of instruments on stage is a bit overwhelming but all of the sounds are used to great effect, including the voices of the two vocalists- Emanuel Ayvas and Liz Hanley.
Saturday was beautiful and I hope everyone spent as much time out in the sunshine as possible; I certainly did! I had a picnic in Prospect Park with a group of friends and then we all wandered over to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to experience the cherry trees in bloom. They will be blooming for several weeks and you can keep track of their progress and plan your visit accordingly through the website.
Saturday evening G and I attended one of the Jazz at Lincoln Center events. Of course first we wandered around failing to find the theater and then failing to find the box office but eventually we made it to our seats. This event showcased some pieces by Wynton Marsalis, who was also performing, and some stories by Langston Hughes. I will admit the whole thing was a bit too edgy for me. There was a whole series devoted to various animals and generally speaking no matter how interesting it is to make a saxophone sound like a monkey I still do not think it's worth buying tickets to hear the result. However, some of the jazz was more traditional and certainly the technical skill of the musicians was more than adequately demonstrated. There was also tap dancing, which was marvelous to watch, even from the balcony. P.S. If you attend any events at the Rose Theater you should call the box office and ask for the seats behind the stage; they're cheaper and you'll be right on top of the action (I intend to do this next time).
We grabbed a bit of a hurried dinner at Cafeteria (classic Chelsea restaurant- music loud enough for a club, men with too much product in their hair, modernist furniture and slightly pretentious everything, however pretty yummy for all that) before heading over to the Chelsea Clearview Cinemas to see The Raspberry Brothers in action! Jerm says I was one of the first to begin promoting their show but luckily others have now caught on; check out his interview with Andrew Singer in The Apiary. The Apiary is also recommending the improv comedy festival at The Creek LIC this weekend, which also includes an act from one of the Raspberry Brothers (amazing how comedy comes together).
On Sunday G and I experienced a somewhat different form of comedy at the Barrymore Theater, where we saw an all-star cast perform 'Exit the King.' The whole cast is fantastic but I felt like Geoffrey Rush and Susan Sarandon were really incredible. The script was witty and occasionally just a tad profound without feeling dark. For example;
He acts as if no one has ever died before!
No one alive HAS ever died!
The final scene is rather hypnotic and was not necessarily the best way to draw the story to a close. I adored the absurd capes and crowns and had to fight the urge to go and find a very long piece of fabric immediately (I played dress up a lot as a child).
Sunday night I had dinner in a bubble. Yes, a giant plastic bubble, the Raumlabor's Spacebuster to be precise. This art installation by German artists focuses on the idea of using vacant space. The bubble will be traveling to various locales around the city this week and you should try to attend one of the events. It is definitely an amazing experience to dance to tunes spun by Jonathan Toubin inside a bubble in the courtyard of the Old American Can Factory... so I expect the other events will be at least as enjoyable.
Add that to your plans this week! Also be sure to look at my earlier post for other events to consider and stay tuned for additions!

What Clients Experience
"My session with Beverly shined a light on my gifts in a way that inspired me beyond any other self-discovery methods I've attempted on my own. I left our session inspired and motivated to create. She's definitely changing the world, one session at a time!"
Jill Lingwall Farmer, Certified Martha Beck Life Coach
"Beverly's skillful coaching has made a huge difference in my life. With her deep intuition and understanding of human nature, she has prompted me to discover new ways to think about and solve problems that have been plaguing me for years. Beverly's caring and sensitivity come through in every conversation, and she has helped me connect with the deepest parts of myself. I enthusiastically recommend her coaching services to anyone!"
Beth C., Michigan
"The work is deep; the approach creative, reflective and gentle. Through Beverly's insightful coaching, I was able to think about my life in new ways, to open myself up to new possibilities. While the work was not therapy, it was most definitely therapeutic—as both professional and personal options unfolded. I now find myself in a place of increased clarity. Thank you, Beverly!"
Wendy, California
"Beverly is a lovely gem of a coach. She toggles from being practical and straight-forward to magically intuitive, knowing exactly when to appropriately shape-shift between the two. I came to her with the very practical issue of defining my ideal client and was stuck in a left-brain, how-do-I-make-this-happen mindset. She met me where I was, helping me identify thoughts that weren't serving me. From there, and without me even realizing it, I felt compelled to define my clients through metaphor and image, finding a unique connection to them. By releasing the 'straightforward' thinking, I was able to see my problem from many creative angles that I wouldn't have seen if I'd stuck to my usual way. Beverly's process feels as though I am definitely being heard, being held, being guided, and then – like magic – I arrive at my deeper awareness because Beverly used her intuition to guide me into the creative places I had forgotten that I knew. When I landed back with my issue, I found I could build a profile of my client, as well as a working procedure, that fit in the here and now. It felt as if both the magical and practical realms were working simultaneously. She is a one-of-a-kind gift to this planet."

A diverse technology committee was assembled to lead the development of this plan including but not limited to: TCS Superintendent, Director of Instructional Technology, Director of Special Populations, campus leadership, Information Technologists, and instructional experts.
The Trinity Charter Schools long range strategic plan for technology was created to address the four key areas of the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology, 2006-2020; as a result, all goals and objectives presented in the LRSPT fall into one of four categories:
- Teaching and Learning
- Educator Preparation
- Leadership, Administration, and Support
- Infrastructure for Technology
