Boys Names Blues
Why can't boys names be as easy as girls names? My husband and I decided on our girls names SO quickly, it was ridiculous! And neither of us has second guessed any of them. Boys names are always on my mind though. Yes, we have some picked out. And looking at just the boys list, I do like the names! But when I compare to the girls list, they just don't seem to match up!
Here are our girls options-
Cora Anneliese (LOVE Cora, not set on Anneliese though.)
Ivy Louisa (Ivy Lou) Melts my heart when I say it!
Lily Sophia (This is my least favorite, though I still really like it.)
Here is our mish mosh of a boys list-
Merrick Liam (nn Merri) My husband and I love the nn. He loves it becasue it reminds him of Kelly Slater (kind of a girls first name but used on a boy). Also it is part of the name of a surfboard company. I picked the middle name. Love Liam.
Callen Thomas- We both really like Callen, just not sure we LOVE Callen. I love the nickname Cal or Calli. I think Brothers nicknamed Calli and Merri is ADORABLE. So surfer and unusual yet usable. Again, I picked Thomas. It is a family name. Kind of boring though, I know.
We like these names as well, but would probably only use them as middle names-
Also, my dear husband would never use these names as first names (too boring for him) But I love them so much, that if they sounded perfect with a first name, he may agree to use them (That is how I got him to agree to Liam and Thomas!)
Let me know what you guys come up with! Thanks!

Ha! Boys' names are very easy for me; it's the girls' names that are dreadful.
I really like Merrick. I prefer Merrick Levi over Merrick Liam though. Do you like Cormac? It has the same sounds as several of your favorites, and I like the idea of Merrick and Cormac as brothers. Cole, Oliver, Bram, Luca, Declan, Alec, Ronan, Quinton, Micah?♂ | Samuel ◊ Edward ◊ George ◊ Silas ◊ Arthur ◊ Ezra ◊ Freeman ◊ Dean ◊ Jasper ◊ Solomon
♀ | I'm taking a break from girls' names at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestions! The response my husband gave me to Cormac was "McCormac? Like the spices?" so that was a no. Cole's response was "Pole?" But he did say maybe to that, and he likes the spelling Kol (German). Declan got a maybe too. Not in love with any of them though. Thanks for the try! it is ahrd to even get a maybe out of him!

Cora, Ivy, and Anneliese are all wonderful! Merrick isn't my style, but if you like it, go for it... I am the opposite... I have a tough time with girls names, whereas boys names are very easy for us to agree on.

Great shoe
The Yukon and the Yukon sport are both great shoes. Very comfortable, and the Sport has the added bonus of a partial rubber sole on the bottom, though I wish it covered the whole sole like the mesa fisherman does. Great job Crocs! Don't cancel this shoe!!!
COOL Shoes
I love it. It is very comfortable for me and looks so cool.

Finally, a pair of Crocs that fit my rather narrow feet really well, although the Specialist is a close 2nd.
No more sliding around in Crocs that are too wide and sloppy fitting.
My Yukons are comfortable and good looking.
I recently wore them on a trip back east. They were the only pair of shoes I brought along and with their easy off

go for the green
I know most people will go for the neutral colors, but I wanted to put in a word for the army green. The picture doesn't sell it, but I tried on a pair at the store in Vancouver, B.C. It's a good color to wear in the city with black pants. The green/black combo works. Yes, this sole is a little stiffer than the ultra soft sole of the original but it's still OK. I've seen both men and women wear it well.

Ladies and gents, I am no longer absolutely oblivious.
I'd like to re introduce myself,
Saturday, November 12, 2011
Finally I can move on with life.
I never believed it but it seems to stop when you lose someone dear to you.
Thank god I have Izzy as a best friend and she's letting me stay with hers for awhile. :3
Now i'm back in Sydney and spending more than I earn which is easy since Im not earning anything from the lack of job.
I'll post my tips on getting to the interview stage on the next post but for now, I'm opening another blog for items I want to sell.
I haven't paid my ebay fee's since I no longer own my master card to pay for it and Ebay was a rip and too difficult anyway.
Nothing is up yet but it will be by Monday ^^
Zara Blazer, Alice Mccall top, Cotton On Shorts
Thursday, October 13, 2011
Ive been in Indonesia since the first of this month visiting family and friends and i'm having such a breezy time.
The food is insane cheap so for some reason my mind has been telling me the cheap it is the more i can eat without the consequences.
Man Im stupid.
I haven't really dressed fashionable as we haven't really hit the capital where fashion is more accepted and not to mention the offing heat stroke I get on a daily basis.
These are just some random shots the really slow internet was able to upload.

What I wore to the show Chanel held in Melbourne
Sorry for the shitty photo's of the show, I used my iphone.
Zara blazer - Alice Mccall Dress - Chanel bag - Miu Miu heels
Wednesday, September 28, 2011
Went to lovely Melbourne for one night and learnt a valuable lesson.
Double check your flight is either 06:00 or 18:00.
My mum cost me a nice sleep and an extra days worth of exploring :(
More piccies soon!
Oh, and this is my hair colour post dye.
It was a gross blonde pre dye.
This Valleygirl top is beyond an amazing find in my opinion, I feel like I should limit one post explaining the importance of such a staple in a wardrobe.
Maybe I will and/or should?
$25 and considering a semi tailored but loose fitted, long sleeved, cream blouse that doesn't look like I'm off to work is hard to find for a girl my height let alone just find in that perfect category.
I was tempted to buy the $250 One Teaspoon blouse but I'm glad I didn't since I got chocolate on the first day wearing this shirt.
Also the One Teaspoon button up with loose and open breast pockets are on sale around the $100 mark in David Jones at the moment in case anyone was interested.
Everyone needs to grab a pair of Karen Walkers sunglasses.
I am slowly building my collection.
People tend to stick to a particular style that suits them and their style and I think her styles are really becoming my genuine sunglass style?
They're over sized enough, don't fall off my nose and I've worn these enough for people in the center I work in to recognize me from a mile away in them.
Or perhaps I'm still experimenting fashion trends?
The fluffy top was a great buy too, $19 by Mink Pink from City Beach.
A fluffy top, especially in black, gives texture but softens an edgy type of outfit I think.
But they're so hard to find without it looking too cheap. :(
And these Alexander wang shorts I ordered online need to be worn with a belt and it's the smallest size.
Messing around in the hotel.
Saturday, September 24, 2011
I went and got my hair done today on my day off from work.
Its not the colour I want unfortunately and I paid alot of money so im a little disappointed :(
I'm going to use the good old diy dye's tomorrow night and do a before and after :)
Oh, and my new Ray Bans :D

OVC Digital Network Live Video Live Stats
MARTIN, Tenn. - Winners of three of its last four outings, The University of Tennessee at Martin men's basketball team will look to stay hot when it hosts Ohio Valley Conference West rival Southeast Missouri at the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center on Saturday, Feb. 16. Tip-off time is scheduled for 6 p.m.
The Skyhawks (7-17, 4-8 OVC) are coming off a commanding 77-68 home victory over SIU Edwardsville last Saturday. In that game, UT Martin led for the final 28-plus minutes and shot 57.8 percent for the contest.
These two teams played back on Dec. 29 in the OVC opener for both squads. The Skyhawks led by as many as 15 in the first half before Southeast Missouri picked up a 65-60 win in Cape Girardeau. UT Martin was led by Jeremy Washington, who compiled his first career double-double (14 points, 10 rebounds).
Southeast Missouri (13-13, 5-7 OVC) has won back-to-back games, including a 77-64 home win over Eastern Illinois last Saturday. The Redhawks jumped out to a 25-point halftime lead and never looked back thanks to Marland Smith, who scored 29 points (including nine 3-pointers). Corey Wilford (14 points), AJ Jones (11 points, 10 rebounds) and Tyler Stone (13 points) also reached double-figures in the win.
Fans can tune into the OVC Digital Network for a free live stream of the game or follow along with live stats at the links above. Locally, Chris Brinkley (play-by-play) and Tom Britt (color) will call all the action on Star 95.1 FM.

David Joy of Ameriprise Financial weighs in on regulatory oversight and the markets.

Wearing David joy -- talk a little bit more about this is chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial op -- not Boston.
With this today I -- the question economically with a story like this is -- says you combine it with other investigations that we know are on the way whether it's.
Libor -- some of the financial.
Crisis related investigations of the banks that are not related to interest rates but.
Just the idea that litigation risk is out there but what's the economic impact of that is -- significant.
I don't think so I think it's more psychological quite frankly it suggests is that in contrast to -- -- the last ten years regulatory oversight is becoming a little bit more strict.
And their following -- I think that's a good thing businesses should be held accountable if there -- found liable.
But in terms of economic impact the numbers that you -- they pale in comparison to some of the self inflicted wounds that you see in these.
Banks like UBS JPMorgan and they seem to overcome knows pretty easily so.
I would say not economically significant but psychologically to not so anybody that says -- we've got to get these things behind us and -- if you wanna move forward.
With the economy you would say no no wait a second what's -- prosecute people -- -- the wrong thing.
-- because it's the right -- to -- it -- because it won't have much of the net.
We'll have much of an impact yet.
That that's exactly right and you're gonna have these things all the time anyway I mean businesses are involved in a lot of different types of activities different geographies different regulatory regimes.
She got to have this sort of thing what I -- as a chilling effect on some of the things that represent.
Sort of conspiracies like this Libor reshoot well we'll talk more about that as we get more information -- editing and we get more of the -- starts to come out about the various banks that we expect that.
As -- -- pointed out probably happen at some point next -- let's talk a little bit while we still happy about the markets were up a little bit.
Today so you're writing one of the things she said this is -- uninteresting because everybody's putting out there they're cut.
Predictions or expectations about this fiscal cliff and you said you expected deal to get done.
But the risk of one not getting done is also so great that it hurts the way you invest you wouldn't.
-- too aggressive.
Well what I meant by that was that I think that the if you put probabilities on and you say maybe there's a one in four chance of one in three and it doesn't get done.
Then I think clearly the market would sell off I think you see a flight to safety and so you have a big risk exposure going into an event like that you gotta get -- so I -- say.
You know due to let the let the information come to you -- and wait to see I think you can always or get more aggressive on the road.
If the nose is good also good it to that point if you're right.
About that -- -- the fiscal cliff deal does get you know push forward in some form and then that's not may be.
Again if you're right it's not may be priced in that the market might have -- -- room to rally on.
Oh I think -- rally quite sharply.
If you look at if you look at the economy it's actually doing okay what's being held back got recently.
Capital spending and nice are a little dent to consumer confidence I think those things -- way if we get a deal especially one.
That's lays out the framework for grand bargain -- all of a sudden I think now you can make some long term investment decisions.
And I don't think that's price and at all you have because people just don't have confidence of these guys getting anything done but maybe they -- and that's the thing that could give you.
Or -- if -- outside David joy is always good to have you on enough thanks joining us today.
My pleasure.

It's Wedding Wednesday and that means another love story! "That day before we got married my sister in law told me to make sure I take a moment that day, whenever it may be, to stop and soak in the moment, because it goes so fast! I really took that to heart and the moment I chose was when we were up at the alter and the priest was speaking to us about love and commitment. I stopped for just a moment to look at my husband to be (who was already smiling at me) and realized how happy I was and how amazing he was and I knew this was the most amazing day of my life! It was my favorite moment of my wedding day." http://www.riddlesjewelry.com/blog/ce-wedding-story/ Jenni Hahn Photography

Omega Q Plus with Resveratrol (30-day supply)
We've combined this anti-aging bombshell with doctor-recommended heart support!
Omega Q Plus with Resveratrol (30-day supply)
Item# YEA
Omega Q Plus® with Resveratrol protects every facet of heart health—improves circulation, slows aging, and more!
Resveratrol is a powerful polyphenol antioxidant found most notably in the skin of red grapes. And a groundbreaking study has shown that a very specific form of resveratrol can protect your blood vessels and improve circulation!
So when I read the Harvard studies on the anti-aging power of Trans-Resveratrol—when I saw clinical proof improvements in circulation—I knew I had found a truly remarkable improvement to Omega Q Plus.
— Dr. Stephen Sinatra
As if that weren't exciting enough, Harvard scientists discovered that resveratrol can also activate your "longevity gene" slowing the effects of aging and helping to restore your youth!
Omega-Q Plus with Resveratrol comes with the power to:
- Improve circulation
- Slow the effects of aging
- Beat free-radical damage
- Boost your brain power
- Deliver an astonishing boost in energy
- Promote superior heart health
- Balance blood pressure levels
- Support healthy HDL, LDL, and triglyceride ratios
- Protect your brain, joints, eyes, and immune health
- And so much more…!
Trans Resveratrol is the ONLY form powerful enough to add to Omega Q Plus.

Here's what makes Omega Q Plus with Resveratrol my No. 1 recommended heart health supplement…
DHA-rich Calamarine® Omega-3 Oil—the discovery that makes ordinary fish oil obsolete
Calamarine omega-3 oil is naturally richer in heart-healthy DHA than ordinary fish oil! And growing research suggests that DHA works the hardest to improve your blood pressure, blood vessel health, and circulation, plus support your brain, nerves, eyes, and colon.
Calamarine oil isn't sourced from fish. It's a pure and potent extract of deep-water calamari (squid). This is good news on many fronts. For one, they are an extremely eco-friendly, sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, Calamarine has NO fishy aftertaste and won't cause "fishy burps." But that's only one part of the story…
Cardiologists often call CoQ10 the "miracle nutrient" because it fuels your cellular power plants. This is especially important for your heart—a muscle that requires huge amounts of oxygen and energy to function. Plus, CoQ10 acts as a potent antioxidant—hunting and destroying free radicals that can damage your heart health and overall well-being.
Omega Q Plus features a patented, cutting-edge form of CoQ10 called Hydro Q-Sorb® that is 8 times better absorbed than ordinary powdered CoQ10.
But that's not all…
Four powerful nutrients to round out my #1 recommended heart supplement
In addition to resveratrol and the cardio-power pair of Hydro Q-Sorb CoQ10 and Calamarine oil, Omega Q Plus with Resveratrol also gives you 4 additional heart-healthy nutrients for unparalleled nutritional support:
- L-Carnitine—works hand-in-hand with Hydro Q-Sorb to increase energy and improve cardiovascular health
- Folic Acid—an important player in the fight against unhealthy homocysteine levels and an essential nutrient for keeping your blood vessels healthy
- Vitamin B6—vital to over 60 different enzyme processes in your body and considered one of the key vitamins for overall health
- Vitamin B12—works in combination with other B vitamins to lower homocysteine levels, enhance energy production, protect cardiovascular health, and even boost your intestinal well-being and immunity!
Improve blood flow, slow the effects of aging, protect your heart and your entire body with Omega Q Plus with Resveratrol.

Science and Quality
A high-quality source of heart-healthy DHA
The ability of the body to convert plant-based omega-3s (ALA) to EPA, and subsequently DHA, is very low even in healthy individuals. And DHA is especially difficult to obtain from plant-based omega-3s. Virtually no DHA is converted from ALA: One study showed that only 0.04% is converted to DHA1 and another study showed healthy males converted only 4%.2
You would need to eat about 4 teaspoons of flaxseed oil to get the same amount of DHA in Omega Q Plus with Resveratrol…or about 1 cup of walnuts…or about 7 tablespoons of canola oil.
Why is DHA important to heart health?
Blood pressure
Research shows that DHA supplementation has a better effect in promoting normal blood pressure levels than EPA. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects were given purified supplements of EPA or DHA (4 grams) or placebo for 6 weeks. Researchers found that DHA was superior to EPA for supporting healthy blood pressure levels. DHA (but not EPA) also helped reduce heart rate. It was also found that EPA supplements had no effect on raising blood phospholipid levels of DHA, indicating that the body has a difficult time converting EPA supplements to DHA.3
DHA is also better at improving vasodilation and endothelial function (as measured by forearm blood flow) in these same subjects.4
Blood Lipids
EPA and DHA have been shown to have favorable effects on blood lipids, including triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and lipid particle size, all important measures of cardiovascular health. While it appears that both EPA and DHA help to lower triglycerides (dosages greater than 2 grams daily), research suggests that DHA is the omega-3 that is responsible for increasing HDL cholesterol levels in the body.
Overall heart health
In a study of postmenopausal women, those with the highest levels of DHA (and not EPA or ALA) showed significantly better coronary artery health over a 3 year period.5 Similarly, in men, research shows that higher levels of DHA (and lower levels of saturated fat) is associated with better coronary artery health.6

My energy level has increased. Tendency to have sciatica pain is gone. Discoloration on ankle has reduced.
After only a couple of months; this morning's blood pressure reading was cause for celebration. Focus, energy, & great sleep have been experienced since just after two weeks. The BP reading is most gratifying since I've been struggling with pre-hyper and close to hyper readings for the past couple of years refusing to take a prescription yet have become more diet/exercise conscious. "Don't talk, feet flat on the floor, back supported, and smile". Thank you! God Bless you Dr. Sinatra, your continued profession, and family!
Never felt better. After years of trying, blood pressure is now normal.
I've been hearing great things about CoQ10 and Resveratrol but was not sure which form was most beneficial. I tried a couple over-the-counter varieties with no noticeable benefits. I ordered 1 bottle to give it a try. About 2 or 3 weeks into the bottle of OmegaQ Plus, I realized my normal mid-afternoon slump either wasn't occurring or was mild enough it wasn't an issue! I've also noticed I am sleeping better and, I don't know if this is even remotely related but I don't have that urge to snack. An extra bonus!!!
Found this product excellent for lowering my blood pressure !
I don't really know if its working, but I don't feel worse.
This product has given me lots of energy. I could barely get out of bed and had to push myself to work. Now I can do anything without feeling tired.
So far I seem to be enjoying more energy.
I used Q plus before and it was fine. I ordered it with resveratrol thistime because of what you had said about it. I have not really paid attention to what it has or hasn't done for me yet but do feel better.
Since i have started taking Omega Q plus my blood pressure has dropped, i can't say it has done much for my knee pain.

Keep out of reach of children.
How do I know I am choosing the best supplements?
How is this form of CoQ10 more bioavailable?
Coenzyme Q10 is one of the more difficult compounds to absorb because it is a large fat soluble molecule. Hydro-Q-Sorb®, an all-natural, free flowing powder combines CoQ10 with gamma-cyclodextrin, a type of glucose molecule with a hydrophobic (fat loving) center and a hydrophilic (water loving) exterior, It essentially binds to and wraps around the CoQ10 molecule, allowing the CoQ10 to become water dispersible, making it easier to absorb.
What are the ingredient standardizations?
Is the formula kosher?
Is the formula and capsule vegetarian?
No, the softgel is made of gelatin which comes from bovine (cow) and porcine (pig) sources.
Is the formula sodium free?
Yes. There are also no preservatives, artificial colors or artificial flavors.
What are the "other ingredients" used in this product?
Gelatin, glycerin, medium chain triglyceride oil, gamma cyclodextrin, beeswax, soy lecithin, annatto seed extract, natural lemon flavor
Which of the ingredients are natural and which are synthetic?
All of the ingredients are naturally-sourced.
Can I take this product with Dr. Sinatra's other recommended nutritional supplements?
Yes. Omega Q Plus with Resveratrol should be taken with a high-quality multinutrient such as the Heart Healthy Multivitamin.
How should I store the product?
To preserve the quality and freshness, keep the bottle tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place (59°-86°F). Do not refrigerate.
Is this product tested for lead, mercury, and other heavy metals?
Every batch of Healthy Directions products is tested for lead and heavy metals. Each is delivered to Healthy Directions with a Certificate of Analysis from the manufacturer stating that the products are free from heavy metals or within the limits set by California's Proposition 65 – the most stringent in the country.
Does this product undergo independent laboratory testing?
Each month, Healthy Directions randomly selects several of its products and sends them to independent laboratories to make sure that they meet safe levels for heavy metals and pesticides, as well as label claim. In addition, Healthy Directions requires each of its manufacturers to fully test each of our products in independent labs twice a year.

S'pore scientists discover cells that cause HPV-related cervical cancers
Posted: 12 June 2012 1422 hrs
SINGAPORE: Scientists in Singapore have discovered a set of cells in the womb that causes human papillomaviruses or HPV-related cervical cancers.
Cervical cancer is the seventh most common female cancer in Singapore and about 200 cases are diagnosed every year.
Infection with HPV is the most common cause or risk factor for cervical cancer.
HPV infection causes a pre-invasive cancer, known as Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia, which are pre-cancerous lesions that can progress and potentially become invasive cancer if left untreated.
The team of scientists, from research agency A*STAR's Institute of Medical Biology and Genome Institute of Singapore, worked with clinicians from Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in this study.
They found that a set of cells, located at the cervix, have unique biomarkers that are seen in all forms of invasive cervical cancers linked to HPV. This means that the signature markers of these particular group of cells can provide a way of distinguishing potentially dangerous pre-cancerous lesions from benign ones.
Their research was published in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week.
The team also showed that these cells do not regenerate when excised. It said these findings have immense clinical implications in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.
For example, it raises the distinct possibility that removing this set of cells in young women could reduce their risk of cervical cancer.
Dr Christopher P. Crum, Director of Women's and Perinatal Pathology in the Department of pathology at BWH, said: "It has been a decades-old mystery why cervical cancers caused by HPV arise only from a discrete region of the cervix, known as the 'squamocolumnar junction', despite the presence of the virus throughout the genital tract.
"The discovery of these cells finally resolves this mystery and will have wide-ranging impact, from developing more meaningful animal models of early cervical carcinogenesis to clinical implications."
Dr Wa Xian, Principal Investigator at IMB, said: "Our study also revealed that this exotic population of cells does not reappear after ablation by cone biopsy.
"This finding helps to explain the low rate of new HPV infections in the cervix after excisional therapy and also raises the distinct possibility that pre-emptive removal of these cells in young women could reduce their risk of cervical cancer. This could be an alternative to current vaccines which only protect against HPV types 16 and 18."
Added Dr Frank Mckeon, Senior Group Leader at GIS: "Our previous work on esophageal cancer opened up the possibility of 'preventive therapy' to stamp out the disease by eliminating this small group of cells. This recent work in the cervix further validates this concept and raises important possibilities for early intervention to prevent malignancies linked to very small populations of these unusual, discrete population of cells."
In a landmark paper published in Cell in June 2011, Dr Wa and Dr Mckeon identified a novel mechanism for the evolution of highly aggressive cancers in collaboration with BWH and NUS.
They discovered that a discrete population of cells at the junction of the esophagus and stomach were linked to precursors of esophageal cancer (Barrett's metaplasia).
It was the first time scientists realised that some cancers originate from just a small set of cells that are unique from the other cells that reside around them.

Economists have upgraded their forecast for the Singapore economy even as they warn of the huge risks that remain.
A survey of 21 private sector economists by the central bank said that the economy will expand by 3 per cent this year, up from 2.5 per cent in a previous survey.
Construction and tourism are expected to do well, while manufacturing and exports should hold up despite the euro zone crisis, they said.
Inflation will climb to 4.2 per cent for the whole year, on the back of strong property rentals and car prices while unemployment will stay low at 2.3 per cent.
Former DJ buys iconic Rediffusion
Posted: 14 June 2012 0529 hrs
Screen grab of Rediffusion website.
SINGAPORE: Former radio DJ-turned-Chinese-language school principal, Madam Chang Mei Hsiang, has purchased the Rediffusion brand, its archives and equipment in an effort to bring the iconic radio service back on air.
A press conference has been scheduled on Friday where she will reveal more of her plans.
Mdm Chang told Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao that she had fond memories of Rediffusion, which she joined in 1985 after arriving in Singapore from Taiwan.
At the station, she was among the most popular DJs and had the support of many listeners.
Apart from being a DJ, Mdm Chang also took on the role of programme producer for seven years.
She told Lianhe Zaobao that her intention is to help preserve a part of Singapore's heritage, as the radio station had witnessed the country's development over the past 63 years.
Rediffusion, Singapore's only subscription-based radio broadcaster, went silent from April 30 as losses piled up.
In its heyday, it attracted more than 100,000 subscribers who tuned in for everything from American rock 'n' roll music to Chinese dialect programmes by master storytellers such as Lee Dai Sor, Ng Chia Kheng and Ong Toh.
The broadcaster's decision to sign off sparked calls from listeners, clan associations and even Members of Parliament to preserve dialect programming. - TODAY

Iconic radio broadcaster Rediffusion will be back on air again early next year, resurrected by one of its former deejays.
Ms Chang Mei Hsiang bought Rediffusion's brand name, audio-visual materials and broadcasting facilities last week.
The Taiwan native, now a Singapore citizen, told The Straits Times that she intends to relaunch the 63-year-old radio service which, mired in financial trouble, went silent on April 30. She said she initiated talks to buy it when news of its impending closure broke in April.
Her motivation: Sheer affection for the place she regards as 'her first home in Singapore'.

Sentosa is rolling out another cable car service in 2015 to make it easier for the growing number of visitors to get around the island.
The 860m-long link - half the length of the current cableway linking Sentosa to Mount Faber - will transport visitors within the island between the three main clusters of attractions at Merlion Plaza, Imbiah Lookout and Siloso Point.
The new line will be able to hold up to 38 cabins.
The current three-station link, at 1.72km, holds 68. It was opened in 1974, but has been upgraded four times since.

A new book outlining Singapore's green goals and measures to achieve them was launched by Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) Teo Chee Hean on Thursday at the Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
The 136-page document was compiled by the National Climate Change Secretariat, and includes information on energy usage here as well as previously-announced policies such as the Energy Conservation Act and an emissions-based vehicle scheme, which will both kick in next year.
The Republic will emit about 77.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2020 if nothing is done.
It plans to lower this figure by 7 to 11 per cent, and will increase its commitment to 16 per cent if a legally-binding agreement is reached globally.
More meet Olympic 'B' marks here
by Tan Yo-Hinn
04:46 AM Jun 15, 2012
SINGAPORE - National swimmers Lionel Khoo and Jeremy Kevin Mathews are the latest to meet the "B" qualifying times in their respective events for next month's London Olympics.
Jeremy, 17, clocked a personal best of 2min 04.09sec to finish second in the men's 200m individual medley at the South-east Asia (SEA) Swimming Championship at the Singapore Sports School, meeting the "B" timing of 2:04.38 as Singapore collected another five gold medals to lead the standings with 10 golds after two days of competition.
Team-mate Quah Zheng Wen, 15, won the event in a national record of 2:03.79 which also met the "B" timing, with Malaysia's Ian James Barr third (2:07.14).
Lionel, 16, also met the Olympic "B" timing for the men's 100m breaststroke by winning the event in 1:02.79, ahead of Malaysia's Yap See Tuan (1:03.67) and Indonesia's Dennis J Tiwa (1:04.48).
Danny Yeo also set a national record in the men's 100m freestyle of 50.66, bettering Clement Lim's previous mark of 50.68.
As "B" qualifiers, whether they can earn a ticket to the July 27 to Aug 12 London Games will depend on the availability of invites handed out by the sport's world body FINA, which is expected later this month. Visit www.seaswim.org for full results and ticketing details. TAN YO-HINN

Athletics: Singapore aims to be top three in the region
By Patwant Singh | Posted: 14 June 2012 2239 hrs
Young Singapore athletes (Photo: Channel NewsAsia)
SINGAPORE: Singapore athletics was a powerhouse in the region during the sixties, seventies and eighties. That golden era could be revived, with a new batch of athletes who could carry the country's hopes high.
At April's South East Asian Youth Athletics Championships, Singapore came out tops as the overall team based on points.
Of greater significance was the performance of a few individuals.
Sprinter Shanti Veronica Pereira finished second in the 200 metres race, despite a slight injury.
"I am more focused on the Singapore SEA Games in 2015 and I will just be training and training every day," she said. "I am hoping to go below 25 seconds or maybe 24.7 by 2015."
Another star of the meet, 18-year-old Ng Chin Hui, who won the 400 metre Boys' U-21 race.
"I just qualified for the World Juniors based on my time," he said. "I'll take it as an opportunity to gain exposure because the athletes are of pretty high standards."
Field events are also where young Singaporeans are excelling.
One of them is pole vaulter Chan Sheng Yao from Hwa Chong Institution, who is aiming for gold in the 2013 Myanmar SEA Games.
"Right now, my target is to break the national record, 5 metres, and from there and from there onwards, next year it will be the World Youth Championships," he said.
"I need to use the World Youth Championship as a platform for me to cross a higher height, because my ultimate target is to win the World Youth Championship."
The new management team at Singapore Athletics is fully behind these youngsters.
"We have set aside at least for overseas competition about S$80,000 to S$100,000 per year just on the youth and junior athletes," president of the Singapore Athletic Association (SAA) Tan Weng Fei said.
Besides SAA, the Singapore Sports Council has also taken note of the capabilities of the young athletes.
"The key thing is to keep them healthy and injury free and keep them with a high level of competition," chairman of SSC Richard Seow said. "I think this competition is important. They need to compete more against the regional teams, against the Asian teams and I think that is going to do well for Singapore."
This group of young athletes have their work cut out for them as they try and help Singapore win at least seven gold medals at the 2015 SEA Games, a target set by Singapore Athletic Association as part of their plan to be the top three in the region.

Lee set to be Singapore's first Olympiccanoeist
by Philip Goh
04:46 AM Jun 15, 2012
SINGAPORE - Kayaker Geraldine Lee Wei Ling is set to become Singapore's first-ever canoeist at the Olympic Games.
The Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) and the Singapore Canoe Federation (SCF) received the official notification from the International Canoe Federation on Monday that Singapore has qualified for a place for the women's K1 500m event at the London Games (July 27-Aug 12).
Lee, who turns 25 next week, has been nominated for the spot and her participation is pending confirmation from the SNOC.
Lee won gold in the K1 500m and also took home three silver medals at last year's SEA Games in Indonesia. But it was her performance at the Asian Canoe Sprint Championship last October in Tehran that caught the eye, when she came within sixth-tenths of a second to securing an Olympic place.

Attracting children to outdoor playgrounds is no child's play for planners of such facilities.
Today's young ones have too many distractions, from video games to PlayStation consoles, vying for their time and attention.
For Ms Irene Neo, 45, her childhood was marked by playtime on simple swings, see-saws and monkey bars.
Background story
Old ones aren't as fun or challenging, and have less variety.
- Mr Tew Choon Hou, who takes his eight-year-old son to the adventure park in Bishan every other weekend
He noticed the big train... recently and kept bugging me to take him there.
- Ms Ang Hui Fern, who used to take her four-year-old nephew only to the newer playgrounds near her block
But her eight-year-old son Justin, whom she takes to the playgrounds in Bishan Park weekly, needs a greater X factor to get his adrenaline flowing.

Clubs linked to the National Cadet Corps are being set up in junior colleges, polytechnics and the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) to prepare young men for service in the armed forces.
They will give the less fit a chance to get in shape, and ease them into the basic military training they will have to do during national service.
The National Cadet Corps (NCC) usually runs clubs in secondary schools, but is now reaching out to older students who are nearly ready to be called up. Its commandant, Lieutenant-Colonel Adrian Koh, said the move will allow it to help former cadets, who would otherwise 'just disappear from the system'.
Background story
Popular CCAs among students
POPULAR co-curricular activities (CCAs) in post-secondary institutions include:
Track and field
Golf club
(No Badminton )
Performing arts:
Symphonic band
Chinese orchestra
English language drama and debating society
Clubs and societies:
Robotics club
Interact club
Chess club
Community service and cultural club
It will be beneficial to young men who are 'counting down to national service'. The experience will also help teach them about citizenship.

Spectators at this year's National Day Parade will get to see the old and new during the ceremonial parade.
While perennial favourites like the precision drills of the troops will be showcased at the parade, the soldiers will thrill the crowds with a brand-new marching song, one specially penned this year by citizen soldier Syawaludin Kassim.
Also new: The navy and air force servicemen on parade will be wearing their new grey or blue pixelated camouflage, which their army counterparts have been wearing since 2009. They are part of the 140-man contingent who will be marching out of the spectator stands to pay tribute to some 900,000 men who have undergone National Service since it started in 1967.
Among them is entrepreneur Clarence Tan, who will be commanding the 2,000-strong parade. As part of the tribute, naval boats and warplanes will be performing air and sea stunts to wow the crowds.

Residents living on the fringes of the Lower Peirce forest, where wild boars roam, want the National Parks Board (NParks) to leave the animals alone.
'I hardly see them and they haven't been a nuisance at all,' said Mrs Laura Loke, a 57-year-old retiree who has lived in the area for more than 10 years.
In fact, sightings of the creatures are part and parcel of the charm of living near the forest, said 56-year-old Bernard Teo, a semi-retired businessman.
'When you buy a house here, you should already be prepared to see some of these wild animals; it's all part of nature,' he added.

Changi Airport's Terminal 1 is headed for another round of renovations, just as the finishing touches are being put on its four-year makeover.
The arrival hall on the first floor of the four-storey facility will be expanded outwards to boost the terminal's capacity from 21 million to 24 million passengers. The basement will also be redeveloped, as will the road that now separates the building from the carpark, Changi Airport Group (CAG) told The Straits Times on Thursday.
There are also plans to link the main terminal building to a new multistorey complex that will be sited at the terminal's open-air carpark, CAG spokesman Ivan Tan said, though how this will be done has not been finalised yet.
Construction will begin within 12 months, from April next year.

Development plans for the Kallang area are being reviewed in a bid to breathe new life into the rejuvenation of the precinct.
The Government is looking at amalgamating smaller development sites there into larger sites that could then be used for major mixed-use developments.
As part of this shake-up, the vacant Kallang Airport site, which once housed the People's Association (PA) headquarters, could be added to redevelopment plans.
The issue entered the spotlight this week when the National Development Ministry announced that it is removing two hotel sites on the Kallang Riverside from the reserve list of the Government Land Sales programme for July to December for review. The sites were made available for sale in June 2009, and again in June last year, but did not draw any acceptable bids from developers.
S'pore Open will stay elite
SBA willing to meet badminton body's new minimum prize money of S$317,500

SINGAPORE - The Republic's marquee badminton event, the Li-Ning Singapore Open, is not in immediate danger of losing its place in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Super Series despite competition from other countries keen to join the top-tier classification.
The present 12-leg Super Series circuit will begin a new four-year cycle from 2014 and one of the existing tournaments will have to make way for a newcomer, upon a successful evaluation by the BWF.
This means there is a possibility the Singapore Open may get the chop when the current cycle expires at the end of the 2013 season.
The current series is headlined by the The All-England Open and the lucrative Korean Open, with other stops in Indonesia, China, Denmark, Japan, India, Hong Kong, France, Malaysia and Singapore.
At the BWF Annual General Meeting in Wuhan last month, the six countries which currently host a lower-tier Grand Prix Series tournament each - Thailand, Taiwan, United States, Canada, Switzerland and Germany - have made it clear that they wish to elevate their events to Super Series status come 2014.
Singapore Badminton Association (SBA) chief executive Bobby Lee attended the Wuhan meeting and told TODAY that Singapore is not taking its status in the elite of world badminton for granted.
"We have a fight on our hands," said Lee. "Since the BWF are sticking to the 12-leg series, one of us has to make way for a newcomer, if they are successful in their bid."
But Lee is confident Singapore will remain in the elite circuit, given the Republic's good organisational capabilities and track record.
"We have reasons to be confident. There is a great venue in the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
"We have the infrastructure to support the event and we draw good crowds too, reasons the BWF cannot ignore," said Lee.
And to reinforce their bid for the new cycle, the SBA are preparing to meet the new minimum prize money level of US$250,000 (S$317,500) set by the BWF to become a potential Super Series host. The current Super Series requires at least a minimum of US$200,000, which is the total offered at the Li-Ning Singapore Open starting this week.
"Exactly how much more we are prepared to increase is yet to be decided. But the SBA council is supportive of a new bid after the 2013 season," said Lee.
"There will always be a Singapore Open, irrespective of whether we have a title sponsor or not. In short, the show must go on.
"The Singapore Open is our showcase and a way of saying thanks to all our stakeholders who have contributed to the development of the game in Singapore."
The SBA are expected to make an official bid by September, after which the BWF's evaluation committee will make their final recommendations.
A BWF spokesman said that it was unlikely that the world body would increase the number of Super Series events given the congested calendar.
"The fear is that it will lead to players' fatigue by having too many events," he told TODAY.

TB10 05 Let's Boot and Rally
In this podcast Susan and Kelly discuss the HBO show True Blood season 5 episode : Let's Boot and Rally
We have read most of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels, but we promise not to spoil any of the storylines that haven't already been covered in the show. Since the show is explicit, this podcast is also tagged explicit so we (and you) can quote and discuss the show as it was made - with all the blood, sex, and hot vampires that we can handle.
