MSF continues medical aid operations in AcehJanuary 3, 2005
BANDAH ACEH, Indonesia, January 3, 2005 — Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical teams returned yesterday by helicopter to Lhok Timon along the west coast of Banda Aceh to provide medical consultations. Following the tsunami, only 1,270 people of the original population of 3,200 are still in the village. Those remaining have been living on coconuts and have been reduced to eating their livestock. Unfortunately, due to the lack of lighters and matches to start fires, many people have been unable to cook their meat properly. The result is that diarrhea is one of the three main pathologies being treated by MSF medical teams. Wounds and respiratory tract infections are also common. As in the previous days, MSF has been providing psychosocial trauma counseling to help people cope with their loss and anxiety. From nearby Calang, MSF took two people back to Banda Aceh in their helicopter for hospitalization: one is a 14-year-old girl with an acute open arm wound and the other a man of 45 with a severe chest wound. Two MSF teams provided more than 180 medical consultations in Cot Keung, Banda Aceh. Faced with a lack of clean water, the MSF water and sanitation team has set up a five cubic meter water bladder to provide for a population of 1,700 in the Depkes building in Cik Di Tiro, Banda Aceh. The construction of a washing area in the location opened on Sunday. Despite progress in the clean-up efforts, corpses still remain in the streets of Banda Aceh. MSF has provided more than 200 body bags—with another 230 to follow today—to the Indonesian authorities who have been collecting bodies over the past week. An assessment team has also been dispatched to villages east of Banda Aceh. In the district of Sigli, there are around 12,000 people displaced and local organizations are providing medical care. The lower part of Sigli has been completely destroyed. The team also went to Batee, west of Sigli, when there are serious concerns about the state of water supply and sanitation. The team will return to the east coast tomorrow. On Sunday, a team brought in 40 tons of supplies, which includes medical materials, drugs, water and sanitation materials, and food, in addition to the 79 tons of supplies that has also arrived in recent days. MSF has 17 international and 25 Indonesian staff working in Aceh. Tags: Indonesia, South Asian Tsunami |

Singapore Permanent Residence – PR
This page provides an overview of the different paths leading to a Singapore Permanent Resident status. You will learn about the various permanent residence schemes available in Singapore, including the Professional, Technical Personnel and Skilled Worker Scheme and the Global Investor Program.
Singapore's population tipped at 5.4 million as of 2013, and approximately 10% of the population are permanent residents. In 2010, almost 50,000 foreigners were granted permanent resident status and the numbers are increasing. The sophisticated infrastructure, education, safety and healthcare are the top reasons why these new permanent residents choose to make Singapore their home.
Singapore has been keeping an open door immigration policy to attract foreign talent and to maintain a healthy population growth. The driving factor has always been an economic one.
The low birth rate and the need to improve human capital in Singapore have been the two main impetuses that led to the escalation in Singapore's population growth in the last two decades. Foreign talent is an invaluable asset to a competitive economy. Singapore has made a concerted effort in courting and retaining foreign talent through various schemes including the benefit of permanent residence status.
Permanent Residence SCHEME FOR Singapore Working Professional
Professional, Technical Personnel and Skilled Worker Scheme (PTS Scheme)
The most popular scheme for permanent residence in Singapore is the Professional, Technical Personnel and Skilled Worker scheme (PTS Scheme). The scheme enables foreign professionals working in Singapore under an Employment Pass, Entrepreneur Pass or EntrePass and Skilled Worker Pass or S Pass to apply for permanent residence.
Permanent Resident SCHEME FOR CAPITAL INVESTORS
Global Investor Program Scheme (GIP Scheme)
The Global Investor Program is an initiative launched by Singapore Economic Development Board and Ministry of Manpower. It is a program for foreign individuals and entrepreneurs who are keen to invest in or initiate new business activities in Singapore, and in the process, obtain Singapore permanent residence. Spouses and children of these investors are also eligible for Singapore permanent residence.
Permanent Resident SCHEME for Foreign Artistic Talent Scheme (FA Scheme)
The Foreign Artistic Talent Scheme is a joint program of the National Arts Council and the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore to attract foreign artists with outstanding track records in dance, music, theatre, literary arts, visual arts to immigrate to Singapore.
This scheme includes technical professionals in related arts but excludes the entertainment, journalism, broadcasting, and film industries. These artists should have had at least 3 years formal training and at least 6 years active work. The successful applicants will enjoy the same benefits like NAC grants and awards as Singaporean artists, and will be required to take up full employment in Singapore for the grant of full PR status.
National Service Liability
Note: Main applicants who are granted Permanent Residency status under the Professionals/Technical Personnel and Skilled Workers (PTS) Scheme or the Investor Scheme are exempted from NS. Male children who are granted PR status under their parents' sponsorship are liable for NS under the Enlistment Act.
NS-liable PRs are expected to serve NS. Renouncing or losing one's PR status without serving or completing full-time NS would have an adverse impact on any immediate or future applications to work or study in Singapore, or for Singapore citizenship or PR status.
Males who are granted Singapore PR, and who were previously Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents, are liable to be called up for NS regardless of the type of PR status they have been granted.
Need Professional Assistance?
A meeting with an experienced immigration consultant may bring to light some areas of improvement to boost your chances of success. If you require a review of your supporting documents or some pragmatic tips before you make an application, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to being of service to you.
** Should you take up our Permanent Residency Package, our initial consultation fee will be waived.

So explain to me what you are protesting? Background checks for all gun purchases? Do you oppose making it a felony to purchase a gun for the purpose of reselling it to someone who is ineligible?
Let me ask you another question. If you are retired military with extensive weapons training and you are at a public meeting with a legal concealed carry firearm. Are you OK if someone who is not retired military, has no training and keeps their gun loaded with the safety off standing behind you and your family while they fiddle with their gun?
Now I know that is an extreme example. But if that person has no felony convictions, pays $52.50 for the CPL they have just as much of a legal right to stick a loaded pistol in their pocket and sit next to your family.
Are you OK with that? Shouldn't that person at least be required to have some basic gun safety training before being issued a CPL?
Am I crazy for suggesting that?

Catching Up on ANTM: All*Star Edition
Posted by Diana in America's Next Top ModelNovember 23rd, 2011, 02:03 PM
Don't forget, Tyra's an author, too!
With Thanksgiving tomorrow, we can give thanks for the continued frenzy and insanity of America's Next Top Model. The All-Star Edition has given Tyra plenty of opportunities to make a fool of not only herself, but the silly wenches who signed up for the show instead of continuing on with their lives. Silly wenches! Don't you know Tyra will wring every drop of dignity out of you and shred your self-confidence? So young, so stupid.
So, in this special edition of Top Model Thursdays (since today is Wednesday), let's run down what exactly has happened on this topsy-turvy, one-time-only, cycle:
Nicki Minaj: Episode 1! Meet the contestants, fourteen hasbeens and neverweres from past seasons–er, cycles–and hear the prizes! This cycle, the girls are vying for a $100,000 Cover Girl contract, a national campaign for Express, a spread in Vogue Italia, and a guest correspondent gig with Extra. Express is still around? Good for them! Haterade abounds, there is fan feedback (Alexandria gets booed!) and Nicki Minaj is the guest judge. Drunken barmaid Brittany gets the boot.
Ashlee Simpson: Episode 2! Ty-overs, which in actual English means makeovers. Crying! Screaming! Rending of garments! And then a shoot with hot dogs. Seriously–you all signed up for this, willingly? It's a sign of what's to come, to be sure. Sheena bites the bullet, so to speak, and is sent home, lazy eye, fake boobs, and all.
Kristin Cavallari: Episode 3! Kristin pep talks the girls on how to be a reality star and break out of reality whilemaintaining your star–all while on Dancing With The Stars. Quite ironic, no? Then, they got to meet Mario Lopez! What's up, Slater?! So exciting, to meet D-list celebrities. The photo challenge involves stilts, and Isis gets the big ol' goodbye.
Anthony Zuiker: Episode 4! He created CSI, guys, and the girls audition for a teensy tiny role on the show. Guest role, Camille, not permanent cast member. The photo shoot is for Express, because somehow Express is still relevant, and even though Lisa's insanity is showing, Camille is bounced for being old and boring.
LaToya Jackson: Episode 5! LaToya! Kardashians! Kardashian Kollection! Blackface! Nobody goes home! Sigh. Hello, downward spiral.
Coco Rocha: Episode 6! Never before in the history of Top Model has there been a flag football challenge! Rock of Love, yes, ANTM? No! Challenge accepted! Though, seriously, the Rock of Love one was so much better. Watch that, instead of this. Bye bye, Bre.
Kathy Griffin: Episode 7! All you need to know is that the photo challenge is inspired by Snooki and NeNe Leakes(Real Housewives of Atlanta). Seriously. Fortunately, a double elimination cuts down the number of remaining episodes: Kayla and Bianca, who was always up for a good fight, are taken out back and shot.
Game: Episode 8! The Game is now just Game, which is weird. Also weird? The Youtube "stars" that show up throughout this episode. Also weird? "Pot ledom is Top Model backwards" Gross, Tyra! It will not become a thing! But thanks for the memories, Alexandria, as you get kicked out the door.
Nikos Papadopoulos: Episode 9! Greece! Just when you think you've seen everything, just when you think Tyra has thrown everything she can at these poor women, just when you think they're overseas and safe (but for the inevitable go-sees), suddenly there's a lingerie shoot in a…giant Greek salad? Yeah. Shannon refused to participate (due to the lingerie, not the salad) and is hopefully relieved to go back to her husband and regular life. This show, man.
No One Famous Enough to Get an Episode Named After Them: Episode 10! Fake Olympics. Angelea can't say "shot put." Relationships are breaking down. Everyone is mean! Nigel Barker does the photoshoot, which really means the end is nigh. Finally! Although it will be without Dominique.
Tonight is a recap show (if you'd like more recap than the above). Four girls remain, with my money on Allison to bring home the dubious honors!

yum yum!! my friend's birthday is coming up soon, and i might just bake this for her! :)
just had my written papers on mon n tues. the first paper went well but the second one was horrible! :( feeling a bit depressed to continue revising for the practical on tuesday... :( can you cheer me up? - March 17, 2011 at 1:28 AM
- Pei-Lin said...
Hey, Qin Yi! I reckon since I've not heard much from you lately, you must be swarmed up with all the schoolwork and internship! What happened to the second paper? Care to tell me? Hmmm ... I think I really need to work my butt off and set up a time to talk to you on Skype. Maybe this Friday evening or Saturday? If baking and cooking soothe you, indulge yourself a little there when you're feeling stressed/depressed. Don't overwork yourself, though. Like me ... I've been and look so worn out physically, mentally and emotionally lately. Many bloggers don't talk about what go on behind the scene ...
For the last few days, I've been working till 8 to 9 p.m. and reached home by 10 or so. At work, it's been nonstop ... Then, emotionally, I feel disturbed, still trying to recover from the trauma. Last week, I had few nights of insomnia and cried for few days before I could think much clearly and told myself to stop doing so because it's probably a waste of time ... Still in the midst of recovery ... Been hurt so much. The sad news from Japan have made things seem gloomier ... Oh, gosh ... I guess I can only blame all these on myself. 自己拿問題來煩。。。唉!抵死!
I guess both of us have lots to catch up on each other ... My sunshine, cheer up! Ya know, I've been more of pessimist and pragmatist for a good part of my life ... Though I always look at things from the worst scenario, I'm now trying to take things more positively, less nitpicking ... 睜一隻眼閉一隻眼 ... Dear, what's happened happened. There isn't a point of looking back and pondering over it -- if that's not gonna help much but wasting your already precious time. C'mon, be like me! Telling yourself: "The world is your oyster. Go explore! There are many other BETTER things awaiting to be discovered." Don't let Freudian fixation theory bother you too much! LOL! Don't get fixated at the same thing ... Life moves on!
Now, all you can do now is to put your best, best efforts in the upcoming ones to make up for the loss. In the end, at least you can tell yourself, "I've tried my best!" Take pride what you do, believe in, and who you are! Don't let some morons put you down just like that! Fight! Dont' end up like another Pei-Lin! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
OK, better stop here. Need to rush to work now. Talk to you on Skype soon. Love you. Take care! - March 17, 2011 at 7:38 AM

Hi Pei Lin!
This looks awesome! I'm not a big fan of cheese, but your green tea version seems really really appetising and I love the green colour!
I wish I had more time to bake these days, but love admiring your bakes all the same!! :) - March 17, 2011 at 3:39 PM
- qinyi said...
Wow! thanks for taking time to write me lots of encouraging words! I really appreciate your support. :)
I know I definitely got 3 questions (out of 15) wrong for the second paper and 1 question wrong for the first paper. I just can't keep it out of my mind that I might fail the written exam even though I know I'll probably pass overall. We need to pass 24 out of the total 30 questions in order to pass the written exam. Just my nature, can't stop nit-picking and thinking of the worst!
Less than 5 more days to the end! I will continue to work hard, do my best and put my anxieties behind me.
Will love to catch up with you sometime after my practical exams on Tuesday! Take care, my dear!! :) - March 17, 2011 at 6:45 PM

Thanks for this very sweet birthday message. :) The cheesecake is beautiful but I am afraid of the "grassy" flavor as well- not a fan of green tee.
Miss you you sister. MJ - March 18, 2011 at 3:53 AM

Dear Pei Lin, The "oh cha" cheesecake looks great but I am dropping by to leave a comment about another product of your baking wizardry. I refer to the ubiquitous choclate chip cookie, sometimes called the "toll house" cookie. You may not have known but when you left a bag of these incredible goodies with Quaypo I had already left on an extended business trip. Hearing about the stash you left here, I urged Quaypo to freeze them (they freeze up very well actually). Then, when I was held over in Singapore for an additional week, I begged Quaypo to join me (yes, I admit it, I am a big baby and miss her whenever I am away). She agreed and surprised my by bringing a good part of the subject stash with her. For the last week, I have had one of your enormous and scrumptious cookies grace each and every day. On day one I couldn't wait and had one for breakfast. Other days I managed to wait until late evening and have one with cold milk (is there any other beverage that would do..."no way" I answer). So here is my report card. >AAAAA+++++! I do not know how you have managed it, but you have truly captured the essence of my generation's love affair with this seemingly ordinary confection and to me, it is the only genuine article of it's kind in Asia. This includes our own attempts at baking them, as well as any of the dreck sold in volume here such as "Famous Amos" (utterly fubar'd representations) or Mrs. Fields (the cloying grease takes days to wash from the palate). All I can say is BRAVA! and thank you. You took me back in a way that I've not been in a very long time. Though my already expansive waistband cannot possibly survive another direct hit so soon, I hope we might get another go sometime in the future, at which time I am already conceiving of a fair trade idea involving chicken and dumplings or filé gumbo or another icon of my youth in Oklahoma.

This is a great post and a very thoughtful one. You are very good writer, wish I could write like you. I am sure all the people you mentioned in your post are so happy to know that you appreciate them. This is one good thing you picked up from the Western culture and that is not being shy to be open with how you feel. Chinese culture is just the opposite. From young, we were taught not to show our emotions especially for the boys. They famous Chinese teaching to the boys is "low huit purt low lui" (literally means let the your blood flows not your tears). To me, even I am not exposed to Western Culture before I married my Quaylo, I don't subscribe to this. I think it is silly.
Your green tea cheese cake looks awesome and I know I will love it because I am crazy over green tea anything and cheese cake is my favorite cake.
Have a relaxing weekend my dear. You need the rest. - March 18, 2011 at 7:14 PM
- Pei-Lin said...
Dear All,
I'm exhausted. I shall get back to you guys once I feel better. Take care! Have a good weekend ahead!
Love lots,

@Janine: Haha! I don't drink (I only use liqueurs in my bakes and dishes). Every occasion has its own meaning, and everyone perceives it differently, including St. Paddy's Day. I know I'm blessed in many ways. Thank you. The same goes to you, too! =)
@Lee Ping: Happy Belated Birthday! You're most definitely welcome! Yup, I'm gonna make more things for you to try on your next trip home. Glad that you got to have the peanut cookies and Snicker macaron this CNY. I love you! Thank you for being there for me every day! Thank you for talking to me almost every night. See you again in a few months' time! =D
@Martha: Happy Belated Birthday to you! You bet! Well, taste is a matter of personal preference. Don't worry. I do miss you all back in the States. Hope to see you all again someday -- lemme save up a fortune first!
@Jo: Thank you so much! I know, some people find the refreshingly grassy taste of green tea unacceptable. But well, taste is a matter of personal preference anyway. =) - March 21, 2011 at 3:25 PM

@Cathy, Pick Shan, Lena: Thank you so, so much!
@Allie: I didn't know you aren't a fan of cheese! How I wish you could have some of this cake. Hey. Amid busy days, please don't overwork yourself. Take care! (P.S. Your bakes are just as good.)
@Qin Yi: You're most definitely welcome! Don't think too much. What's happened happened. Just do your best in those to come to make up for the losses, like what I'd said. You focus in the meantime; I'll talk to you once your exams are over. Take care, too! Love you! - March 21, 2011 at 6:26 PM

@Veron: Thank you so much! I'm still learning as I grow, been falling and getting myself up again and move on with life. Yes, from now on, I shall not be too reserved of my own feelings; I need to be more outspoken while taking caution at the same time. I've been through a lot these few weeks. 我是人,無論我多堅強,我亦會流淚流血,然後從中學習。Yes, men can be ridiculous in our culture. RIDICULOUSLY ROBOTIC and COLD! Thank you for the kind words! I'm gonna remember all these. Thank you for making me feel better and get me going! Thank you! =D

Stitch, hey!!! Boy, I was so surprised by this message of yours! I was so elated to learn how you enjoyed the cookies through and through!
Oh, I love those cookies so much. The recipe is by far the best, and I doubt I'd change. It warrants infinite loyalty! I was brought back to my days in the States, too, when I had them! BEST!
Erm ... I never really give a damn to those sold by Famous Amos and whatnot here. In my honest opinion, though I don't mean to diss my own people, they can't quite really grasp the whole idea of a chewy, soft cookie that comes with crisp edges. This is an acquired taste to many Asians. I came to realize all these when I came back from the States about two years ago. You're most definitely welcome! I'm so glad these behemoths healed the homesickness in you, which I can totally empathize with you -- I'd been through that when I was in the U.S. and I'm going through the same phase in Malaysia (the U.S. is my second home now!).
Yup, we should just have meals together and I can cook/bake some food to bring along, too! My American mom makes gumbo, her way though, but I love it! It's something I'd love to replicate in Malaysia!
I so look forward to meeting with you and seeing Veron again! Thank you for the compliment and for taking time to tell me all these! I'm so touched! You've made my day! - March 21, 2011 at 6:30 PM

Hi Pei-Lin, just noticed that there's cherry brandy in the recipe. I only have Apple brandy, you reckon it's the same? Please advice :)

Hi Pei Lin. I posted a link to your matcha cheesecake recipe on my blog and used your photo, but I want to get permission. I hope you will let me share this with my friends.

I'M FREE!! YAY!! :) I think my exam went well. there were bits that i was unsure of and i'm pretty sure i must have flunked one or 2 stations, but overall i'm pretty positive!
looking forward to cheesecake baking tmr night! whee!! :):):) and when will you be free for our skype chat date this weekend?? - March 23, 2011 at 3:29 AM
- Pei-Lin said...
@Min: Hi! I actually don't drink; I only use liqueurs in my baking and cooking. If not mistaken, cherry brandy and apple brandy taste different: cherry brandy has a cherry note while apple brandy gives out that cider-like taste, I suppose? Of course, it's not to say apple brandy and the like can't be used here. It's definitely an okay, but I reckon the cheesecake is gonna taste a little different. Hope this helps! Thank you so much for dropping by and for the encouraging words! You have a great day!
@James: I just looked through your post. With due credit given, not violating academic integrity, I'm fine with what you've done. I've got a suggestion though, that is, it'd be better if you can obtain the author's permission before using the material on your blog or however way you want, because what's done is done and cannot be undone. Just my two cents. I do appreciate you for letting me know, though.
@Qin Yi: Good to hear that things are bright on your side! Hmmm ... I don't think I'm gonna have time this weekend, but maybe one of these weeknights. I'll give you a buzz or drop you messages on Skype. Just be on the lookout for them. Okay? Happy baking! Talk to you soon! =) - March 23, 2011 at 10:33 AM

Thanks for your reply :) With this I had to ask you where to buy Cherry Brandy? :) In KL of course (which leads to wonder I might be able to buy when I there in April!)
- March 23, 2011 at 10:25 PM
- Pei-Lin said...
Hey! *LOL* Actually, I don't have cherry brandy with me. I used kirschwasser in mine, and I got it from Singapore. *LOL* Kirschwasser is another cherry liqueur, and is commonly used in Black Forest.
Sorry, I haven't been much of a help! Thank you for the kind words. You have a good one! Enjoy your trip to KL! - March 24, 2011 at 2:49 PM
- Min {Honest Vanilla} said...
OMG I'm in Singapore, do you remember where you bought Kirschwasser? Sorry so many questions :P Also very sorry to hear about your hard and long week (in your latest post). Chin up Pei-Lin you're doing great! :) 加油!
- March 24, 2011 at 9:13 PM
- Pei-Lin said...
I'm pretty sure you can get the best deal on Kirschwasser at Changi International Airport, since liquors and spirits are duty free there. I got mine at Phoon Huat (I don't remember which branch I was at, Bencoolen St.?); however, it's a very small bottle -- not the best deal. Kitchan Capers in Kallang(?) has some cool concentrates that work like charm, you ought to check out that place. I think I saw kirschwasser and even rum concentrate. Rose and green tea concentrates, too! For the best deal, go to Changi Airport. I'm gonna get more liqueurs from Kuala Lumpur International Airport soon, since these items are also duty free there. (Like I said, I don't drink. That's why my collection is so little. *LOL*)
Hey, don't ever apologize to me. I'll help if I can. This is a form of sharing, too. =)
Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I can sleep sound tonight. All the best be with you! Take care! - March 24, 2011 at 10:58 PM

You are such a thoughtful person.. :) the cheesecake looks great.. Will in my cheesecake list next after i have done a mango cheesecake ;)

Hey, Abbi!
It's been a long time since I last spoke to you and the Williams. I did receive an invite on Skype from you and have accepted it. Have you noticed that on Skype? I do hope we can catch up with each other sometime to come.
Yes! I miss cooking and baking for you guys back there! Are Mara, Jonathan, Aaron and Megan missing Pei-Lin's food? Haha! This cheesecake doesn't lend a grassy note, it tastes more like milk tea but with an Oriental touch to it. How I wish you all could have had some while the cheesecake was still here. I remember the last cheesecake I made for you all was the Oreo cheesecake for Steve's birthday.
I miss you all. =( - April 5, 2011 at 2:17 PM
- Pei-Lin said...
Hey, Aimei. Thank you so much for the kind words. Please, please let me know how yours turns out once you've made it. Okay?
Take care in the meantime! I might go down to Singapore to visit with my friends later this year. Date has yet to be determined. Shall let you know. Will see if we can meet up again. I should start calling you Mrs. Fong from now onward. =) - April 5, 2011 at 2:22 PM
Hi Pei Lin, recently I happen to come across your blog, and saw this post of yours. So I just baked this green tea cheesecake, but mine came out the normal pale yellow cheesecake kind instead of the green colour this cake supposed to be. So how do I get the green colour? Thank you!
By the way, your cake looks really really awesome!! :) - December 4, 2011 at 7:26 PM
- Pei-Lin said...
Hey, Dorcas.
I apologize, first of all, for replying to you this late.
Actually, I used the (usual) for-baking-purpose green tea powder I bought from the bakery supply store for this cheesecake. I also use that for any green-tea bakes. Things should be fine, color- and taste-wise, if you use that kind. Don't use the one for brewing green tea.
And thank you so much for the encouraging words! You've just made my day. =) - December 7, 2011 at 9:20 AM

We also live in the woods and are surrounded by creatures of nature -- field mice, squirrels, chipmunks, coyotes, foxes, white-tail deer, raccoons, wild turkeys, fishers, etc. Only the fishers are a bit frightening.
I'm very careful about attracting wild critters of any kind. When I was a college student living in a fraternity, we had a baby squirrel who invaded the house. Of course, we all thought it was cute, and many of the brothers played with it. We fed it. It had a tendency to nip at our fingers.
Well, to make a long story short, it turned out that it had contracted rabies, and about 50 of the brothers had to go through the rabies-shot routine -- not fun.
A good rule of thumb, we were told, is "Don't treat wild animals as if they are or can become domestic pets. It is not good for them and not good for you."
I apologize for throwing a wet blanket on an entertaining thread.

Maybe tonight I'll leave National Geographic playing on the TV with a bowl of popcorn and see if any more show up. I'm thinking where's the one, there's more. Definitely have to hide the remote though, no surfing squirrel porn for those little dudes.

Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
Another pair of excellent condition McCoy vases – these are swans! Gorgeous vases are matte white, measure 9" tall (at tallest), and are marked McCoy. They have a few typical production McFlaws – glaze irregularities, etc. and one swan has a teeny glaze pop on her head. It is not a ding, it's simply a popped bubble, teeny and of no consequence. Super neat vases!
These little birds are so cute! There are two with Napcoware stickers, 3 with Hong Kong, and 1 without a tag. The ones with Hong Kong stickers have wire covered feet. All 6 birds have feather wings. Neat!
All Items : Pottery and Stoneware : Pre 1970
item #1217046
(stock #M4359)
From my collection of animal planters, this is a pretty blue deer planter! Measures 6 ¾" tall (at tallest) and is in excellent condition.
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
This little launder sprinkler is not your everyday find – it's an elephant with upraised trunk! The trunk holds the metal sprinkler/top that appears to be the original. Measures 7 ¼" tall (at tallest), 4 ¾" wide (at widest), and is in excellent condition. Super addition to a collection!
This excellent condition McCoy bookend has been in my collection for many years. It's a Love Birds bookend in beautiful matte aqua color and has the overlapping NM mark. The mold detail is crisp, clear, and very detailed. Perhaps you have a single bookend to match or just wish to use for display as I have.
These neat cat shaped earrings are marked "Laurel Burch"! The cats measure 1 1/8" x ½" and are gold-tone metal. Cute!
This little McCoy pig planter is cute and in super condition! Planter is unmarked, was produced in 1946, and still retains the majority of his cold paint. Neat item that is becoming more and more difficult to find!
This little mouse pin is so cute! It's silver tone metal covered with sparkly clear rhinestones and has a black rhinestone eye, measures 1 ½" long and ¾" wide (at widest). Excellent condition!
This is the cutest, silliest spaghetti dog I've ever seen! He's white with pink puffs on his shoulders, hips, and tips of his ears. Has pink trim around his rear ankles and on tips of his ears. He has a red nose and red tongue and is "wearing" a green hat. He measures 4 ½" long, 3" tall (from back foot to tip of his tail). He looks like a goofy dog – goofy but happy! You can't keep from smiling when you see him...
This white spaghetti mouse figurine is so cute! He measures 5" tall (at tallest) and is in super condition. His nose has a small amount of missing red paint, the paint is missing in a couple of his whiskers, and there's a teeny place on the back of one ear that I just don't know what it is...
This listing has a cute chalk yellow dog wall plaque! Doggie is nice size – measures 6 ¾" from head to front toes and 6 ½" long (at longest). It is in very good condition with a few teeny flecks of missing color. Neat and unusual item!
All Items : Lamps and Lighting : Pre 1970
item #1156879
(stock #M4300)
These gorgeous little night light/lamps have been in my collection for many, many years! They have been wrapped in bubblewrap and stored – I never used them. Lamps measure 6" tall and each has a little indentation in the top of their hats to hold a few drops of perfume or scented oil. The fragrance warms when the light is on and lightly scents the room. There is a female cat with pink roses on her hat and a male cat holding a bouquet of pink roses...

A road sign on the way to Borth Beach illustrates Wales's seemingly unpronounceable place-names. Anglesey has the distinction of having the railway station with the longest name in Britain, possibly the whole world: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which translates as "St. Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio of the red cave."
Hi everyone! Sorry this blog hasn't been updated for a while - I was immensely busy for the last week or so, and the queue ran out. Hopefully I'll get it back on track soon enough.
Anyway, I hope you're all buying poppies for 11th November! I bought mine today.
I also found some quite interesting pictures of the Angel of the North being constructed.
Evening approaches at Llyn Gwynant campsite near Beddgelert in Snowdonia, Wales.
Lots of happy campers were firing up their barbecues beside the Afon Glaslyn river when I took this photo on one of my camping trips.
Named after the lake, this campsite lies in the shadow of mount Snowdon, in a beautiful secluded valley between the river and Llyn Gwynant. Just the basics here, with no shops or food outlets for a few miles, nice and peaceful!
Interesting fact, this place was featured in the Tomb Raider 2 film as the Chinese village - the stone bridge (seen in the film when motorbikes cross it) lies just behind where I stood to take this picture.

text: The Phil Coulson wiki last edited by CosmicCommonSense on 08/01/13 12:13AM View full history OriginTo date Agent Coulson's origins have yet to be revealed. However, as he holds a position of command within S.H.I.E.L.D. thus we can assume that he has had some sort of military experience before joining.CreationAgent Coulson was created specifically for the 2008 live action motion picture, Iron Man. He had not made an actual comic book appearance until the release of an exclusive webcomic in April 2010, namely the digital comic "Iron Man 2: Phil Coulson: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1", later printed in actual comic-format. Although this is his first comicbook appearance, it would take another year for Agent Coulson to be established in the main Marvel universe. He first appeared (as "Cheese") in the 616 Main Marvel universe in Battle Scars Issue 1 (2011). It was only revealed in issue 6 of that series that "Cheese" was in fact Phil Coulson.Mayor Story ArcsBattle ScarsAgent Coulson, as "Cheese", was a fellow Army Ranger and teammate of Marcus Johnson. He assisted Marcus as he was pursued by Taskmaster, Deadpool, Captain America, and Orion for unknown reasons. During these events, Marcus knocked out Coulson and left him behind to protect him. While separated, Marcus discovered that he was the son of Nick Fury. At this point Coulson contacted Captain America. Coulson's goal was to save his friend's life by enlisting Captain America, The Avengers, and SHIELD. The end of the series depicts Marcus, being called Nick Fury Jr., and Coulson joining S.H.I.E.L.D. and reporting to Director Daisy Johnson.Secret AvengersPhil Coulson and Nick Fury Jr. have been tasked to put together a new team of Avengers for secret covert operations. He firstly asks Hawkeye and Black Widow to join the team. Other VersionsDigital comic: Iron Man 2: Phil CoulsonAgent Coulson's very first appearance outside the movies was in Iron Man 2: Phil Coulson: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1, witch build on the Iron Man 2 movie and is part of the 'movie universe'. It took another year or so before agent Coulson would appear in the regular Marvel Universe.Other MediaMoviesClark Gregg As Agent Coulson of SHIELDActor Clark Gregg has portrayed Agent Coulson in all 4 of his appearances to date. He is contracted to continue playing the character in The Avengers and a possible Nick Fury movie.When Agent Coulson appeared in the first Iron Man film, he was repeatedly ignored by both Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Agent Coulson was meant to debrief Stark after escaping his kidnappers in Afghanistan, however his introduction was overly lengthy as he announced that he was from the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division. He was a source of humour; providing a running joke throughout the film, which lead to the final revelation of the acronym " S.H.I.E.L.D.".It wasn't until the movie was nearing it's climax that his character took a more serious turn. When Pepper Potts had taken secret files from Obadiah Stane's personal computer, she realized that he life was in danger. Therefore, the next time Agent Coulson approached her she latched on to him and insisted that he and his men accompany her immediately. Subsequently, Coulson led a team of men into the Stark facility where the Iron Monger armor had been created. Agent Coulson clearly demonstrated his training as he lead his team silently through the premises and used weapons technology to break into secure areas.His appearances in the sequel movie, Iron Man 2, were more limited. Agent Coulson didn't appear until after Iron Man had been in a drunken brawl with War Machine. Coulson aided Nick Fury in explaining the terms of Stark's House Arrest. Soon after, he announced that he had been called away to a situation that was developing in New Mexico. It was clear that Agent Coulson was a figure of authority within S.H.I.E.L.D..In the post-credits scene to Iron Man 2, Agent Coulson arrived at the top of a crater to see several trucks and people gathered around something unique. It was revealed to be Thor's powerful hammer, Mjolnir. It was the first hint at the Thor movie. The scene was repeated within the movie, therefore insinuating that the events of both movies took place at the same time.In the Thor movie, Agent Coulson is shown as a figure not only of authority, but of unquestionable political power, too. He repossesses the technology and data recorded by Jane Foster, but remains cool at all times and even offers monetary compensation (although it only serves to infuriate her further). He has the presence of a politician, while acting like a mysterious 'Man In Black' who casually steals someone' life's work on semi-regular basis.Agent Coulson Interrogating ThorLater, he orchestrates the security surrounding the Mjolnir crash site. This is most evident when he calls Agent Barton into action, but commands his movements via walkie-talkie. Instead of giving the order for Barton to shoot Thor as he tears through the complex, Coulson let the God of Thunder make his way to Mjolnir. This results in the spirit crushing scene in which Thor (who is still 'not worthy' to wield Mjolnir) can not lift the hammer & emotionally breaks down. Coulson calmly analyses his opponent and later interrogates him, determined to learn where Thor was training in several different fighting techniques. The interrogation was unsuccessful, but it was the first time that a darker side to Agent Coulson's personality was seen.When Erik Selvig appeared claiming that Thor was really Donald Blake MD, Coulson's men immediately detected the fake ID. However, it was ultimately Coulson's decision to release 'Donald Blake'. Whether it was so they could further observe Thor in a more natural environment, or because he took pity on them is currently unclear.The lighter side to Agent Coulson's personality is later restored as he comes to a tenuous agreement with Thor (after his immortal powers had been restored). Unintentionally, Coulson became the focus of a joke as Thor addresses him as "Son of Coul", based on the old Norse tradition the father's name as a son's surname.Coulson also appears in the 2012 live action adaptation of the Avengers. During the movie it is shown Agent Coulson is a fan of Captain America, having a collection of Captain America trading cards. He was also present while Captain America was revived. After Loki breaks free on the Helicarrier, he tries to stop him with a blast gun but is back-stabbed by the god, and he apparently dies in Nick Fury's arms. It is hinted that Fury lied and that Agent Coulson is still alive somewhere. TelevisionMarvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.DPhil Coulson returns from his apparent demise in the Avengers, in a show directed by the movie's director Joss Whedon. The reason for Coulson's return to life is not apparent yet, but the show revolves around him and other S.H.I.E.L.D agents in the Marvel's film universe. AnimationUltimate Spider-ManCoulson appears as the undercover principal of Peter Parker's high school in 'Ultimate Spider-Man.' Powers & AbilitiesAgent of SHIELDAs a human being, Agent Coulson doesn't have any super powers. However, his position of authority within S.H.I.E.L.D. gives him political power to repossess belongings, break into weapons manufacturing facilities and wield firearms in public places. In the first Iron Man movie it was hinted at that he already had experience in covering up mysterious deaths (by providing a cover story for Stane's death), which was also something that Erik Selvig was concerned about when he recalled S.H.I.E.L.D.'s involvement in the disappearance of Dr Banner.Just like most agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson will had have undergone rigorous miliraty training, is adept with a firearms and remains calm under pressure.

Israel's Danny Danon says Irelands Freedom Flotilla was funded by terrorists
Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 03:37 PM

The "Freedom Flotillas" that got such widespread coverage in the media the last couple of years as they tried to penetrate an Israeli blockade of Gaza, was linked to terror organizations, according to Israeli leader Danny Danon. Several people were killed during violent confrontations between Israeli forces and Flotilla participants. Flotilla Ships were boarded, commandeered and searched before their contents were allowed passage on to Gaza.
Danon, a powerful and popular Israeli leader, sat down and talked to us on a range of issues. His rising political power and nationalistic views, will probably be major factors in Israel policy moving forward.
This is part 2 in a 3 part segment:
Parts 1 & 3 of exclusive Danny Danon interview:
Israel's Danny Danon says Washington's lack of leadership speeds Iran towards the bomb
Israel will be energy independent, can America follow their example?
Knowing Israel has vaunted intelligence services, I asked Mr. Danon if he knew who funded the flotillas. Unhesitatingly he replied: "There was a definite linkage between the flotillas and terrorists organizations."
Of course one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist.
I told Mr. Danon that many people in Ireland are sympathetic towards those they perceive as being occupied or repressed and naturally want to see some settlement to the Gaza and West Bank situation in Palestine/Israel. Ireland looks at its own occupation by Britain for hundreds of years and sees some comparison to the situation in Gaza, either rightly or wrongly. We know it is a far more complicated issue, but perception is key.
Since Irish activists were key in these flotillas and crewed ships such as The Rachel Corrie and the MV Saoirse, which embarked from Ireland, it was a natural question to ask Danon if he thought Ireland was a base for anti Israel sentiment?
Danon replied: "I don't think you can label Ireland as anti Israel or a terrorist base. We have many good friends in Ireland who support us. So it is not Ireland per se, but a terror threat can emanate from any country and we take measures for our security as needed and necessary, no matter where a threat may emanate from."
I asked Danon, if Israel had been under the control of a Danny Danon government, would he have reacted any differently to Flotillas trying to penetrate Israel's security ring around Gaza?
"These flotillas were not seeking any type of humanitarian support, they were seeking confrontation" I think we should have handled it differently, just like any free and democratic country would have done. If someone tries to enter your state without permission…You stop him, no matter what."
He went on: "Because we were not sure about what we should do, our reaction was not strong enough" As a result our actions encouraged more activities like these, to actually seek confrontation and nothing else."
Of course you reached out to the UN for support during this time and particularly the United States, your ally. We noticed that US Ambassador Susan Rice, didn't bother to show up for the emergency meeting, what gives with that?
"When Ambassador Rice didn't show up to the emergency meeting on the flotilla, it brought a realization to us that we have to rely only on ourselves. We know we have the US citizens support, but the White House administration doesn't understand what we are faced with."
"The American citizens know who is good and bad. Israel is being attacked for having the same values as our shared democracies. Because we are in the neighborhood, we are first to confront the very forces aligned against us and the very existence of the United States."
Part 3 will discuss Israels new bonanza of natural gas and what it means to be not only energy independent but to be a huge exporter of this product. Will they go all out and exploit this resource, or will they be hamstrung by the same forces who fight Americas energy producers?
Also a glimpse into Israeli gun control laws, are they strict about it? Do they have the same type of gun violence in their country that the US is experiencing?

There is in Israel at present a large sect of Jews who say "God tells them they cannot work but only read the torah all day." They are also fighting on the same grounds that they are exempt from the Israeli army. This information can be found all over the internet. This sect is causing a huge fight in Israel at the moment, but sadly this sect is now draining our part of the USA. In actual fact they are extremely wealthy controlling the diamond market and God knows what else, but they put a shrine in one room of their home, live in large communities, having huge families of ten and upwards and declare themselves a religious community thus paying no taxes while the other half of the American community has to pay for them. They are almost all on welfare and are suffering from extreme inbreeding disabilities which is also being passed onto the American taxpayer, namely us. It should be noted that this is a unique, but very powerful group in the Jewish community. Indeed most Jews around the world have just assimilated into their surrounding societies and they are the first to find fault with this particular group. We can only wonder why this particular group has traveled world wide but remained insular and never made an attempt to assimilate or contribute to their host country.
To us Palestinians are being subjected to the same holocaust perpetrated on the Jews by some Germans. I say some because in both cases it is a small group that is causing the problems.
Many Germans died fighting Hitler and many Jews world wide are fighting these Zionists. My question to this particular group is "If God told you you cannot work but only read the torah all day, did an all loving God tell you who was going to support your lifestyle. It doesn't make any sense to us and I can tell you we Americans in our area want you to get out and get a job and admit to what you truly own. I am sure this totally honest remark will be censured by the Israeli lobby.

He is a world mover and is in the center of a firestorm that could start ww3. So you're saying IC should turn its back on him? Would you say the same for a palestinian leader, or the President of Iran?

Perhaps if the jihadist mentality didnt rule and corrupt the people in the area, the Jews and Palestinians could work out a liveable and prosperous arrangement. but since they vote in folks who vow to annihilate the Jews, the Jews will do what they have to do to defend themselves

I'm loath to comments on articles such as this as they are undeserving of publicity but here goes. Is there one paragraph in this piece that doesn't contain a factual mistake? For example, the MV Saoirse did NOT embark from Ireland. Contents of the ships were NOT "allowed passage on to Gaza".
Has the writer heard of punctuation? Apostrophes and commas are very useful for those plying their trade in the media.
As for Danon's risible claims that the Flotilla were funded by "terrorists organisations" (sic) - too ridiculous for words. The Flotillas were never trying to enter Israel, indeed it was the Israeli military that brought the crews there.
He says: "Because we were not sure about what we should do, our reaction was not strong enough" -Is Danon saying they didn't kill enough people on the Mavi Marmara?
Just this week the UN released a report that Gaza will be "unlivable" by 2020 if the illegal, immoral siege continues - if this is what people like Danon are advocating, then you're welcome to such fascist ideology.

Mr. Farnan publishing rubbish on behalf of people like Mr. Danons is not being on the right.
Since the time of Ben Gurion, the behavior of the Israeli regime has been Jekyll and Hyde. In the 1950s, its intelligence service, the Mossad, had agents in Egypt blow up U.S. installations to make it appear the work of Cairo, to destroy U.S. relations with the new Nasser government. During the Six Day War, Israel ordered repeated attacks on the undefended USS Liberty that killed 34 American sailors and wounded 171 and included the machine-gunning of life rafts. This massacre was neither investigated nor punished by the U.S. government in an act of national cravenness.
Though we have given Israel $20,000 for every Jewish citizen, Israel refuses to stop building the settlements that are the cause of the Palestinian intifada. Likud has dragged our good name through the mud and blood of Ramallah, ignored Bush's requests to restrain itself, and sold U.S. weapons technology to China, including the Patriot, the Phoenix air-to-air missile, and the Lavi fighter, which is based on F-16 technology. Only direct U.S. intervention blocked Israel's sale of our AWACS system.
To conclude Israel is our ally but we will not be vassals to far right extremists like Danons or Netanyahu.
By the way the USA gives $6,000,000,000 a year to Israel for its military. Mr Danons displays the undying ingratitude of the jewish people toward the USA.

More drivel and uninformed "interviewing". For example, the Israeli spokeman says "If someone tries to enter your state without permission… You stop him, no matter what." But NO ONE was trying to enter Israel,and of course Farnan didn't pick him up on this lie. Those folks were trying to get to Gaza, thru international waters. They were KIDNAPPED and taken to Israel. Come on Irish Central, Fire Farnan. We can forgive journalistic incompetence in your 20 year-old interns, but this guy is old enough to have no excuse.
