It has gotten me hooked, and here are three reasons why:
A. Barney Stinson is perhaps the greatest bachelor to ever set foot on this planet.
This guys has tons of chicks, and he's doing it with suave and a suit. Infinitely better than Friends' Joey Tribbiani, and he's incredibly enjoying his time as a bachelor maybe a little too much. I love how in Halloween he packs up three costumes, namely:
1. A Navy pilot from Top Gun while Danger Zone is playing in the background;
2. A devil who's trying to convince Ted to go to the Victoria's Secret party instead; and
3. A penguin to convince Ted that he's the girl Ted's looking for.
He's living the life of a bachelor, and he has the money to live it. He's something I wish I was but I know I couldn't be. You can call him LEGEN...
Wait for it... Wait for it...
B. I have a huge crush on Robin Scherbatsky, the character or the real person.
She's beautiful, gorgeous, attractive (I really don't want to put all adjectives to describe her beauty) and she's willing to be friends with someone she knows likes her.
'Nuff said.
C. The fact that "I" was more or less Ted Mosby, the main character of the show.
Yes, I am somewhat relating to the main character. This guy is a hopeless romantic. He wants things to happen in a certain way and he's willing to wait for the perfect moment or timing for this despite the others telling him that there's no perfect moment; just a moment of knowing of whether you made a mistake or not.
The best trait (or worst depending on you) is that he's an OVERthinker! He comes up with scenarios in his head on what would happen if he said this or he did that, etc., when he should only live in the moment and just look at what he'd done later.
A true gentleman as well, he knows his relationship with Robin will be as friends so he keeps the fact that he still likes her for the longest time while keeping the friendship intact.
You ultimately know as early as the pilot that Ted and Robin won't be together, but it was fun going through the episodes of how Ted tries to make it work and the universe just doesn't seem to cooperate.
That's it for now. I can't wait to start on Season 2 as soon as I finish downloading it. ;)

Big Hill Pond State Park lies in the southwestern part of McNairy County and encompasses approximately 5,000 acres of magnificent timberland and hardwood bottom land. Cypress Creek and Tuscumbia River border the property. Several oxbow lakes and sloughs add to the waterway. The flood plain adjacent to both the Tuscumbia River and Cypress Creek contains small oxbow lakes and swamp areas which are desirable habitat for waterfowl, wildlife and fishing.
Solid little trail for West TN area. Cool boardwalk, fire tower w/ views, and a landbridge over the dam at the lake. Good mixture of elevations changes
Beautiful lake, great winter hike
Really nice day hike. Highlights are certainly the Firetower and Boardwalk, which are both accessible without having to do the long loop.
loved this trail,,, great to climb to the top of the fire tower, you can see for miles.
This shows the trail going to the right at the end of the boardwalk and making a short loop which does not exist.
First time here. We loved it and will definitely come back!!!❤
Fun hike, a watch tower is one of the stops.
We enjoyed this hike although we may have gone a different way because it was longer than 1.2 miles. More like 2.8 or so. Park in the gravel parking lot, head to the right of the trail sign and follow the blue trail to the tower! My kids loved the tower and view although I would say because of the incline it was not a truly "easy" hike! The board walk was easy and lovely and the trail was very interesting with diverse plants, birds, and terrain.
Trail that got me into hiking
great hike. the lookout tower is a must see. lots of big boulders. really gave you the feeling of being in the mountains.
loved it. the swamp and boardwalk were beautiful.very scenic hike. we love this park and come here often. look forward to doing all the trails.
I Hike this trail, and up to the shelter just a half mile away from the observation tower 3-4 times a week
I just did an 'out and back' hike to the Tuscumbia Shelter, a little over 6 mi RT. Lots of wildlife, saw 12 deer, ducks, geese and listened to owls all night while camping at the CG. Climbed the firetower for some awesome views. Good trail, well marked, varied terrain.
Very scenic trail. Good trail markings. The park rangers were very helpful.
Great trail!
Awesome trail!
I have hiked this trail so many times I can't keep count
Loved it! Awesome view! Needs a little upkeep on Boardwalk, but was definable worth the hike! Watch out for snakes...walked up on a large Cottonmouth...threw him back down hill.
The hike was awesome. The view from the observation tower was even better! Can't wait to go back.
Had fun, good hike. I ended up getting mixed up because I thought the BHP trail was going to take me around the lake but it did not. Had to walk through the woods for a while until I found the horse trail, which brought me back.
My husband and I went here today and we really enjoyed ourselves. The trails were really well kept, there were a few steep climbs, but it was well worth it!! I would def recommend anyone wanting to enjoy a nice nature walk/hike to go here :)
Plenty of Trails, but marking was confusing at times. Upon arrival, I stopped and got a map (they keep them in the mailbox at the Visitor's Center), then set up camp at Campsite 17, which it just so happened is right next to the entrance to the Rocky Knob trail, so I used this as my jump-off point. Within a couple minutes progress down the trail, you'll forget civilization is anywhere nearby. Serene and a fairly nice, thick canopy. As this was a cool, damp morning at around 8:30 a.m., I must add this: mosquitoes! Thousands of them. Luckily, I was covered in DEET and my clothes in permethrin...and as the morning progressed, the mosquitoes left to do whatever mosquitoes do during the day.
The Rocky Knob portion of trail doesn't look as traveled/used the rest, but markings were frequent. I soon left from the Rocky Knob section (leaving off the top loop of it) to join on the red (horse) trail. After a while, heading S/SW, I came to an intersection where there was both a giant white and black blaze. Since I was on the red trail, I didn't know which to take. Gut told me to go right, but, knowing left would at worst take me closer to the lake...I went left. Turns out, going right (probably) would have stayed on the horse trail. The trail I took to the left is NOT on the map, but if you find yourself on it, basically cuts through from the horse trail to the Grassy Point Shelter.
After a brief break at the Grassy Point Shelter, I headed around the edge of the lake on the Dry Ridge Trail, which re-joined the horse trail. Another intersection w/a large rock that appeared to be for sitting & taking breaks, and then l progressed to the tower (which, I obviously had to climb).
Now, if you're going this way (counterclockwise around the lake), and you come to the tower from the direction I did, things get a bit confusing at this point because the route to the boardwalk from the tower, as it's shown on the map, is not the most obvious/visible place to jump back on the trail. The place that IS most obvious isn't on the map at all. Basically, here's what you need to do. If you want to leave the tower and go to the boardwalk, you'll be entering a trail that's at your approximate 9 o'clock position from where you walked in to the tower area from the other trail. You'll know its correct if you find yourself walking down a long, steep descent (trekking poles help here). Once at the bottom, you'll reach a T in the trail. Go right and you'll be on your way to the boardwalk. (If you take a left, you'll ultimately end up back at the tower from the opposite side...which is how I found out what the map was trying to tell me to do...which was to exit on the far opposite side of the tower area, past where you can see some logs and fire remnants).
Beyond that, no other real confusion. The boardwalk seemed longer than I thought it would, but it was nice. I took the left once I got to the end of it and made my way around the rest of the lake. A while later, and I eventually crossed the smaller boardwalk that's close to the boat ramp, I took an immediate right to go back towards the campground. This section was not very well maintained and is RIGHT next to the water, but the trail was at least visible. Back to the campground by mid-afternoon. 10.46 miles in about 4.5 hours, with only around 18 minutes stop time.
I'd say the main thing that kept me from being too confused at times was comparing the track on my GPS to the trail geometry on the hard copy map I was carrying to determine where I was and whether/not I was on the right track. So yes, the map you get isn't perfect, but if you have a GPS to compare it too, no real problems. Or, if no GPS, just stay on established trails and "you'll come out somewhere". :-)
As for critters, I was in cutoff Army pants and hiking shoes w/no-show socks and didn't get any ticks or bites, but I know others who did because you ARE going to be brushing against vegetation. Chalking it up to DEET and permethrin because bugs love me. Also came one snake on the trail. I just went around and luckily didn't get chased. Oh, and I did see another snakeskin...so be careful because they're out there.
Lastly, the ONLY people I met on the trail was a family at the tower and a guy & his sons fishing on the small boardwalk, so if seclusion is your thing, this is probably a decent place to go. I figure I'll be back. Nice trip. Also, while the campground isn't "backcountry", it gets real quiet, dark, and peaceful once everybody shuts down for the night. Almost forgot I wasn't alone in the wilderness.
First of all, the map that you get at the ranger station is very outdated and not very helpful. We assumed the whole trail was 8 miles, when, in fact, the 8 mile loop is just a section of a much bigger 30 mile loop. We started hiking at 10am and gave up at about 5pm. The swamp area's bridges were out so we had to jump across creaks. If you were to go on the yellow trail in summer, you would probably find a buttload of Cotton Mouths there. We did reach the boardwalk (we like to call it the boardwalk of death because the boards are severely unreliable) and the tower that had an awesome view. Despite the 20+ miles we hiked, it was an adventure and very beautiful. Totally worth it. A good day trip if you like extreme hiking.
We parked at the trailhead parking lot and headed towards the Dogwood Point shelter. It was raining the entire time so it was pretty miserable. The trails were a bit overgrown and definitely need some maintenance. We stumbled over several pieces of rebar that had been stuck in the trail and were exposed about 6 inches. Very dangerous. Made it to the shelter and decided to hammock camp closet to the Tuscumbia River. Night went well and we awoke to more rain, boo. Headed out a different trail and were met with the same overgrown type trails we encountered on the way in. I will go back to see the fire tower.
Second Trip to Big Hill, had a much better time. Although we didn't go very far about 3.5 miles. I took my Gold Retievers, one of which is pretty old. 3.5 miles was all he could go. Check out my pictures to see him cooling in the swamp.The beginning of the trail looks like, on the map, the beginning of the Azalea Trail, and we did spot many azaleas blooming (see my pic of the map). This time we left from the trail head by the levee. Crossed the boardwalk through the swamp which is nearly 1/2 mile long. We ended up going to the fire tower and then just turned back.
Biggest issue with the trail we hiked was lack of marking for crossing/forks in the trails. The trails were marked but when you reach a fork you basically had to guess. We hiked the Big Hill Pond trail it had some scenic rocks but mainly just wooded area. Also the map provided wasn't very helpful.
This is great intro to hiking park in West TN.
Stop by the ranger station for a nice waterproof trail map. Also just let them know how long you will be out.
Trails are well marked except for one section of trail on the south side of the park. There are multiple shelters along the trail, but some a ridden with waste. I always try to hike out the garbage in them.
The fire tower provides a nice view of the area.
Absolutely beautiful park. Get the full park map to get best view of the trails. Almost reminiscent of East TN in places. The fire tower is a gorgeous view & great lunch spot. If you go in spring, BE VERY SURE you've doused yourself with deet for ticks & your dog is on preventative as well. Even with the ticks, it's totally worth it. You'll love it, I guarantee.
Well marked trails, bring plenty water, needed a better map.

I've been wanting to do a reader survey for a long time. I'm always curious about who reads all this stuff I yammer on about and what they think about all my yammering. So I created a reader survey for you guys to kindly complete. Well, it's actually two surveys because Survey Monkey only allowed me to have ten questions per survey, or I'd have to pay for a pro membership (no thanks, SM). Survey One mostly pertains to Two Twenty One and blog reading habits, while Survey Two mostly pertains to reader demographics.
The surveys shouldn't take you too long to complete. And don't worry, these are completely anonymous– your names and IP addresses won't be recorded.
To take the surveys, I recommend right clicking each image below and selecting "open link in new tab" so you won't have to worry about coming back here to take the second survey after completing the first. Sorry I'm too cheap to pay $25 for a one-time survey. I hope you understand.
I'll share the results of the survey next week.
Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me about you!

Macie's little nursery has started to come together. Grandpa and Joshua painted her nursery the sweetest soft pink. Then, J and I painted a few white birch trees on the walls to complement our 'little birds' theme. On Wednesday night we had brand new carpet installed and J set up her beautiful crib. We recently got a glider to match the crib and moved that into the nursery as well. It's starting to become more and more real. I love seeing the crib set up and waiting for our precious girl.
On one of my days off I got particularly 'nest-y' and went to town with my sewing machine and paintbrushes. :) I found an adorable painting on Pinterest several weeks ago and decided to replicate it using the colors of Macie's nursery. I had so much fun painting away! I made a set of two. They aren't fine art but I love the scripture, the sweet birds, and the fun decorative patterns along the sides. I couldn't wait to hang them up! They are a nice pop of color on the soft pink walls.
With my sewing machine, a little white fabric, and a new canvas drop cloth I got to work on curtains for the second window in our bedroom. I did the same Anthro-esk design on these as I did on the others. They look nice and really tie the room together. I love the ruffles and burlap motif in our room. I makes me smile thinking about how it matches the personalities of J and I. Manly and practical for him and fluffy and girly for me.
We have a few other little projects we want to do before our tiny girl arrives but we got off to a great start over our long holiday weekend!

Dear Sir/Madam, As a researcher, programmer, and user of free and open software products, I stongly believe that encumbering web standards with patent licensing issues will detrimentally affect the further development of a free and open web. I believe a strong case can be made that the success of the web has much to do with the fact that it is not encubered by licences. Lets keep it that way. It saddens me to think that the w3c would bow to such pressure given the likely consequences.

Guitar Shop TV attended Eric Clapton's 2011 Crossroads Guitar Auction at Bonham's Auction House in New York, and it was a sight to behold. The Auction was established to aid The Crossroads Centre in Antigua, an addiction recovery facility founded by Clapton in 1998.
According to Clapton's website: "two viewing rooms in New York City were jam-packed with bidders, as was theLos Angeles salesroom which participated by a simulcast. Additionally, there were bidders online and on the phone. Competition to acquire guitars, amplifiers, gold records and awards from rock legend Eric Clapton and instruments donated by musician friends Jeff Beck, JJ Cale and Joe Bonamassa was fierce. The sale was 100% sold and the hammer price for all lots totaled $1,767,977. The Bonham's auction was held in association with Wallace & Hodgson, who worked on both the 1999 and 2004 Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Auctions.
Included in the sale were instruments and amps by Fender, Gibson, Marshall, Martin, and Music Man. Highlights included one of Clapton's main stage guitars from 2005, which formed one of a pair he used during the Cream Reunion Shows in London and New York – a custom built black Fender 'Eric Clapton Signature' Stratocaster; and a pair of circa 1970 Marshall vintage basketweave speaker cabinets, used during the 1970s while with Derek & The Dominos. This is the first time that such a large and interesting collection of amps – all of which helped created EC's legendary sound – was offered on the auction market.
Many items went for double their high estimate, with others selling for outstanding multiples. What was most surprising were the amounts garnered by the gold record awards and BMI certificates. The RIAA Certified Gold Discs for Me And Mr. Johnson and Journeyman each sold for an astounding $32,000 as did the Special Citatation of Achievement presented to Claptonfor "Tears In Heaven." Of Clapton's guitars on offer, the key items were the following:
2008 Martin D-12-28 – $58,000
2005 Zemaitis Custom Acoustic – $50,000
2005 Semaitis S22BP 3S – $62,000
1948 Gibson L5P – $68,000
2008 Daphne Blue Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton Signature Model – $42,000
From the group of guitars donated by his musician friends to support the Crossroads Centre, Joe Bonamassa's Fender Stratocaster with gold sparkle finish was the highlight, selling for $30,000. Of the amplifiers in the auction, a pair of 1988 Soldano SLO-100 with Pete Cornish Routing System and Marshall 1960B speaker cabinets netted $27,000. A 1957 Twin Amplifier sold for an astounding $32,000. A Crossroads Guitar Festival 2010 Limited Edition Poster printed on wood and autographed by 19 of the musicians who performed at the festival sold for $8,000.

Australia's eastern seaboard is basking in a record-breaking stretch of warm days, two weeks out from the official start of winter. Everybody's talking about the weather, but hardly anyone's mentioning the climate. As in - change, action, what are we doing? We're the well-fed lobsters in the slowly boiling pot – screaming at the injustices of the budget to our hip pockets, analysing the nuances of a wink and ignorant of policy that sets out how we'll play our part in averting a looming climate crisis (not using the term loosely).
The budget is tough. It's about heavy lifting, doing your bit and if you don't, they'll be not-so-subtle pressure applied to make sure you do – earn or learn, get a job or work for the dole, type of thing. But curiously, the one policy area where sticks would work more effectively than carrots doesn't have any. Climate change. The Artic ice cap is melting at record levels. Local councils across the country are modelling the impact on sea rises on their coastal communities. Businesses are factoring in the impact of climate change into their strategic plans. But the Government is silent. And as a society, we're complicit.
In his 3500-word Budget speech, Joe Hockey did not mention 'climate' once. In fact, he neglected to allude to any policies regarding 'Direct Action', the Coalition's policy on climate change. The plan is to establish the Emissions Reductions Fund to pay big emitters to build new 5-star energy rated offices, or something. Who would know? The Government will also plant 20 million trees, which will supposedly drink in all the carbon from the atmosphere. Where are these trees going and who's planting them? The Coalition rarely talks about its Direct Action policy, because we've given up holding them to account on climate change.
They've also appointed climate skeptic, Dick Warburton, to review Australia's previously committed to Renewable Energy Target. I don't mean to be skeptical about a skeptic, but I doubt he's going to recommend we stick to the current target, let alone a higher one. "China's making more mess!" will come the inevitable argument.
Some days it's hard not to feel sorry for Malcolm Turnbull, the man who staked his Opposition leadership on supporting the former Rudd Government's push for an Emissions Trading Scheme, and lost, watching the whole war on climate change be abandoned shortly afterwards. In 2010, Turnbull told Parliament, "Climate change is the ultimate long-term problem. We have to make decisions today, bear costs today so that adverse consequences are avoided, dangerous consequences are avoided many decades into the future."
It's laughable to think how far away Australians now are from the idealistic, passionate commitment to climate change that existed only a few short years ago. Before the 2007 election, Kevin Rudd declared, "Climate change is the greatest moral, economic and social challenge of our time." And then the economic grim reaper – the GFC – killed off efforts to do anything other than focus on getting people out buying white goods again.
"Even Howard…" is a phrase used at the moment to compare Abbott's performance against that of his self-reported political idol. Well, "even Howard" kicked off Australia's climate change action in 2007 by laying the groundwork for an emissions trading scheme.
Meanwhile in the US, the Obama administration has just released a very slick, comprehensive study titled the National Climate Assessment. The President is on the road debating its findings with television weather forecasters, because despite their lack of scientific credentials, 62 per cent of Americans trust them on climate change far more than they do climate scientists.
While Tony Abbott stands with smirking lips beside state Premiers, declaring himself the Infrastructure Prime Minister, President Obama is determined his legacy will be to finally do something meaningful about his country's contribution to climate change. The Australian Government is preparing to skittle the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), the Climate Change Authority and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, each of which was designed to promote, regulate and remove barriers to high polluters switching to clean energy and which were already contributing to a reduction in emissions.
Next month, the US Environment Protection Agency will launch the most dramatic anti-pollution regulation in a generation, with a sweeping crackdown on carbon. While our government throws our cash at dirty polluters hoping they'll come up with something novel, Obama is forcing the behavioural change, because sometimes, tough love is what's needed. Perhaps this is one of the advantages of knowing you can't run for a third term in the US – short-sighted, politically motivated parochial interests give way to a desire to leave a legacy that will endure for generations beyond.
In his Budget speech, Hockey finished by saying, "As Australians, we must not leave our children worse off. That's not fair. That is not our way." He could have been talking about climate action.
But he wasn't.

Thursday I took youngest to the pulmonologist. He was diagnosed in March with sleep apnea and this past Thursday, we went to the first appointment with the newest specialist.
Expecting judgement again, I steeled myself for this appointment. For years my youngest has been struggling with insomnia. He cycles through about 26 hour day. Sometimes he goes for a full 27 hours awake, sleeps for 5 and up again for 12. He's ALWAYS done this, since he was a baby. Pediatricians have always said "it's a phase" or "He'll outgrow it" or "put him to bed and make him stay there" I've done everything they recommended, fought with him, lectured him, disciplined him, comforted him till I'M in tears to no avail. I've fired doctors who said it was my fault…. So I was expecting the worst.
Surprisingly, she was very knowledgable and compassionate, listening to the concerns and FINALLY agreed that something was wrong. She made different recommendations that no one had made before, including making the sleep ritual MASSIVELY different. She also said that it would help him if we got a light box to help his brain produce more Melatonin at the right time to help him sleep. She diagnosed him, tentatively with Non24 sleep disorder. Aparently, he will need the light box for his lifetime. The Melatonin we have to order specially from a website because they do quality control and has the best formulation for his issue.
She told us about how the sleep regulation will also help his type 1 diabetes get under better control and save him, down the road, from blindness, leg amputation and heart disease which are possibilities if we can't get it under control. This is something even his diabetes specialist had never told us!
He has to go in for another sleep at the hospital to titrate him for a cpap but before then, he has to wear a monitor for 2 weeks to see exactly what his sleep is like, when he wakes and sleeps etc.
All this means for us is more doctors I have to take him to because his father refuses to go to ANY doctor appointments. In 12 years, he's been to 2. When I told him about the things we needed to buy (of which only the Cpap is covered by insurance) He blew his stack. Yelling about how everything is too expensive, how we can't afford this, how he can never get any money saved because people in the house are always coming up with something ELSE to waste money on… It wasn't pretty and all it did was make my youngest cry because "it's my fault I'm sick" How the hell do you counter THAT?
I waited til my husband went to bed and talked to my son about how it WASN'T his fault that he's sick, that he doesn't deserve to be yelled at like that and he called his father an asshole. I agreed with him. He asked me when I was going to divorce his father… I'm wondering that myself. Blaming a CHILD because they have health issues…. That's pretty damned low. I think it's time to start looking into getting out of this situation. Maybe then I'll be able to figure out how to come up with the money to pay for needed medical care for my baby….

Canadian lake monster
A few days ago, the media [1] reported that a strange and ugly lake monster washed ashore. The photographs (see [1] below)taken at the site show a mammal that may be a bear cub (puffy due to its submersion in the lake) or a beaver, otter, etc.
It is definitively not a "monster", just a normal mammal's carcass.
Which goes to show that not all strange sightings are actually lake creatures. And this is valid not only for Canada, but for all places, including Patagonia and its Nahuelito cryptids.
[1] Mystery surrounds creature found in Ont. creek. CTV, Ontario. 21.05.2010.

And you companion'd, I am not alone.
Amor, che ne la mente mi ragiona. - Dante
Amor vien nel bel viso di costei. - Petrarca
If there be any one can take my place
And make you happy whom I grieve to grieve,
Think not that I can grudge it, but believe
I do commend you to that nobler grace,
That readier wit than mine, that sweeter face;
Yea, since your riches make me rich, conceive
I too am crown'd, while bridal crowns I weave,
And thread the bridal dance with jocund pace.
For if I did not love you, it might be
That I should grudge you some one dear delight;
But since the heart is yours that was mine own,
Your pleasure is my pleasure, right my right,
Your honourable freedom makes me free,
And you companion'd I am not alone.

Cather is the protagonist of the novel and one half of a pair of twins. Mage is the quieter, more introverted one who does not like making friends, going to parties or socializing but prefers the fictitious world of Simon Snow, about whom she writes fan fiction. The fan fiction universe is where Cath excels, where she has confidence, and where she has a huge number of fans. Cath is terrified of new situations and would rather be incredibly hungry than have to ask a stranger where the dining hall was.
Carh considers herself to be weird and so takes for granted that others will find her weird as well. She is shocked when people like her and it is so unexpected that she almost doesn't know how to cope with it. Despite the fact they are identical to look at Cath thinks of her twin as the pretty one and does not want her boyfriend to meet Wren in the early stages of their relationship in case he likes her better.
Cath is a loyal, loving and selfless girl who prioritizes family, feeling guilty about going to college and leaving nobody at home to watch over her father and spot the telltale signs of his mental unraveling. Her loyalty and caring make it even harder for her to understand how her mother could leave them and never look back. Cath reveals herself to be a person of great strength and is the shoulder that everyone leans on during difficult times. She is forthright and fair. Cath is the surprising "strong twin" as she seems far more able to take life's challenges head on than her sister is.
Wren is Cather's twin sister and on the surface seems far more bold and adventurous than her sister. Whilst Cath wants to stay in the comfort zone of looking alike and going everywhere together, Wren is anxious to break our on her own and forge a separate identity. Wren is very outgoing and social, popular and widely considered to be good company. She seems to lack impulse control and soon develops an alcohol addiction that she refuses to acknowledge. Wren has always viewed herself as the better adjusted, higher achieving twin so she is extremely surprised to discover that not only does Cath have a close friend, a boyfriend and a GPA of 4.0, she is also making far more of her college experience.
Reagan is Cath's college room mate and is rather a formidable young woman. She is a big girl but has absolute body confidence. She is fairly uncommunicative and gives the impression that she doesn't like Cath; in actuality it is the situation that her scholarship has put her in, having to share a dorm room with a freshman, that she is actually annoyed about. She is a good friend and very supportive, encouraging and the type of girl who lifts other girls up. She is a much better friend that girlfriend and has a tendency to date multiple guys at the same time.
Although Cath believes Levi to be Reagan's boyfriend they are in fact best platonic friends, having ended their relationship when they started college and when Reagan was unfaithful. He is an agricultural student from a ranching family and hopes to own and work his own ranch in the future. Levi is besotted with Cath from their first meeting and finds multiple excuses to keep visiting her on the pretext of looking for Reagan. Levi is a giving and loving young man who is selfless when it comes to his loved ones. He is likely dyslexic as he struggles with focusing when he reads, preferring instead to record his lectures to listen to later, and to make it through every literature class using audiobooks. Levi is very respectful of women and deeply offended when he overhears a drunk customer at a bar making lewd remarks about Cath and her sister.
Nick is a fellow student in Cath's fiction writing class. His overtures of friendship are enthusiastic but not entirely genuine as he has no interest in having a friendship with Cath outside their writing partnership and does not even want to walk her home after their writing sessions. Nick is underhand and has no qualms about using Cath's portion of their joint essay as his own. Nick is very self absorbed and looks at each situation entirely on what he wants, and does not care how his actions might hurt someone else; his reason for living is to become a published writer, and anything else is not important to him.
The twins father is a devoted and loving parent who did not have time to process or react to his own feelings when his wife walked out, because he found himself single-handedly raising twins. He was always fun and approachable and built them a life of happy memories. He is bipolar and although we never see his depressed state we see his wild, manic phase that lead to his hospitalization. He is extremely creative and passionate about his work, dedicated and devoted to his craft. He does not take proper care of himself but when Wren's alcohol addiction comes to light he realizes that he will have to look after himself in order to be able to look after the twins and parent strongly. He is a lenient man who is incredibly proud of his children.
Laura is Cather and Wren's mother. She walked our on the family when they were eight years old and the fact this was on September 11th only served to further illustrate her total self-centers was in Cath's eyes. She is a serial "leaver" when it comes to the twins, walking out on Wren when she is in the hospital. She is uncomfortable with having children their age because it makes her appear older than she wants to. asking Wren to call her Laura instead of mom, so they will appear to be friends, not mother and daughter.
Abel is Cath's high school boyfriend although their relationship is not particularly romantic and seems more like a friendship. They communicate better on email than they do in person. Wren feels Abel is too bland and calls him an end table - always there bit not someone you would notice in a room.
Courtney is Wren's college room mate. Although they get along well and immediately, their friendship is built mostly on parties and drinking and it sours after Wren's alcohol poisoning. Courtney is a party girl and tremendously fun and popular.
Professor Piper
Professor Piper is a published author and the professor teaching Fiction Writing. Intrigued by. Cath, she admits her into class as a freshman even though the class was not available to freshmen. She dislikes fan fiction and considers it plagiarism. Professor Piper is encouraging and good at challenging her students to open themselves up to writing in a different way. Her respect contributes greatly to Cath's confidence in her academic and writing abilities.

SEO Central Coast
SEO Central Coast / Newcastle and Sydney with results
SEO Central Coast, Newcastle and Sydney or comonly know as Search engine optimisation is the process of improving the volume of traffic to your web site from search engines via organic search results as opposed to search engine marketing (SEM) which deals with paid methods.
Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. Each engine optimisation may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific.
This gives a web site web presence. As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content and coding structure to both increase its rankings of all major search engines.

Bar Rafaeli really seems to know how to make her ex jealous – by posting a photograph of herself in a tiny string bikini on Twitter.
If her former boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio stumbles upon this picture, he's sure to be regretting his decision.
The 25-year-old model lay back on a cream leather couch aboard a super yacht in a black triangle bikini top and string pink and black bikini bottom.
Chilling on the yacht: Bar Rafaeli posted this photo of herself on Twitter, which is sure to make her ex Leo jealous
She tilted her head back in a typical model pose and smiles as the sun reflected off her mirrored aviator sunglasses.
The Israeli beauty then posted the photograph of herself on Twitter and wrote: 'Yup! Can't complain.'
She has been spending the past week in Cannes during the film festival and last night partied at the AMFAR Gala after Roberto Cavalli's boutique opening the previous night.
But she faced embarrassment when she arrived in the same dress as fellow model Victoria Silvstedt, 36 at Cavalli's bash.
Sun worshipper: The Israeli model basked in the sun on board a super yacht with some friends in Cannes
Not a bad life: Bar Rafaeli made sure to make the most of the extravagant trip by taking a dip in the Mediterranean Sea and working on her tan
The women managed to laugh about the fashion faux pas though and both looked stunning in the nude frock with sparkling bead detailing.
Bar accessorised her ensemble with a satin box clutch and nude patent heels alongside loose beachy blonde hair.
And seeing as she didn't have a boyfriend to accompany her, Bar had a girls' night out with her gorgeous friends.
Can't complain: The supermodel enjoys basking in the sun with some friends on a saiboat in Cannes
Drying off: After going for a swim in the warm Mediterranean Sea, Bar grabbed a white towel to dry off and then warmed up in the sun again
She was seen partying with Irina Shayk, who is currently dating Cristiano Ronaldo, and George Clooney's girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis.
But luckily last night, no one else was wearing the same floor length golden gown at the AMFAR Gala.
After weeks of speculation, it was reported last week that DiCaprio and Miss Rafaeli had ended their on-off six year relationship amicably.
Apparently, after six years together, the pair are said to have decided they didn't want to settle down.
Sailing the Med: Bar was joined by a group of friends aboard the super yacht, who all made the most of the sunshine in Cannes
Golden glamour: Bar Rafaeli attended the AMFA gala last night in Cannes in a stunning gold feathered and sequinned gown
End of an era: Leonardo DiCaprio and Miss Rafaeli are said to have ended their on-off six year relationship amicably

I was going to schedule this post for Monday, but it occurred to me that today is Saturday, the day when most people actually have time to do DIYs, and a lot of people are stuck inside due to nasty weather today, soooooo...here are a few good ways to pass the time and make cute things.
Christmas tree dollhouse. I love everything about it.
crocheted string of Christmas lights is the best thing ever. (I really want to make this at some point. I probably won't have time until after the holiday rush is over, but I would happily hang this year-round, so I'm not bothered that it might be after the holidays for me.)
reindeer tutorial is perfect should you find yourself trapped at home today without any craft supplies (the horror!). All you need are a couple of toilet paper rolls, some tape, and paint or markers. This one would be good for kids to help out with too.
this awesome video tutorial for soda can ornaments...another good one if you have few craft supplies on hand because all you need are a couple of empty soda cans and paper clips or wire. We aren't really soda drinkers, but I might raid my neighbors recycling bin for this one. There are a lot of bright and pretty cans this time of year.
I haven't done any DIYs (nope, not a single one) since my Halloween bat garland. But I'm going to rectify that soon because I really miss playing around with new materials. And I think one of the best ways to get new ideas for future projects is to experiment and make stuff that you don't usually make.
My plans for the day include packing up orders, wrapping presents, and possibly making a few new things for the shop while watching a Christmas movie or two. What are you guys up to?

I think I'll keep her
Today when I picked Elle up from school she was sad because she wanted to stay and eat lunch with her "all day school friends". To make her happy I took her to lunch at her new favorite place, a fancy burger restaurant right here in town.
When we were seated Elle was thrilled when she realized she would have one entire side of the booth all to herself. I only had to remind her about fifty times to stop bouncing on the seat.
She requested that we split an appetizer of meatballs on a stick. As I was ordering it a straw wrapper flew across the table and hit me in the face. When I looked up Elle was sitting with her straw in her mouth and shocked look on her face. I think she surprised herself with her good aim. I didn't get mad because I'm the one that taught her to do that in the first place.
When our meatballs arrived Elle threw up her hands and cheered "Woohoo! Neatballs!"
I cut the meatballs into pieces for Elle. She decided that the bison was her favorite and that she also liked the lamb but that it made her a little sad to eat a baby sheep. That didn't stop her from nearly licking the plate clean when she was done.
As we waited for our sandwiches to come we played a word game. We went through the alphabet and Elle tried to name a food that started with each letter. She was pleased with how she could use our appetizers in the game. Lamb for L, bison for B, Kobe beef for K and neatballs for N. H was the only letter she had trouble with but later she went back said "himachi". I'm pretty sure she meant "jicama".
As we ate our sandwiches Elle paused to announce "I am just so cute today!" Then, after a brief pause to nibble on a pickle (dipped in my chili of course) she said "You're so cute today too Mama."
In case anyone is wondering what we're going to do about the all day preschool program we're going to skip it for now. We may revisit it during the last month or two of school as a "getting ready for kindergarten" option but that's a long way off.
For right now though I really like having her around. She likes being with me. I think she still gets a lot out of being with me. She's my sidekick, my shadow, my little buddy. I'm not ready to give that up yet. Soon enough she'll grow tired of being around me all the time. I have to soak up all the togetherness I can while she'll still let me.
And clearly I'm going to have to make neatballs for dinner more often.

IP-PBX software that includes VoIP equipment is growing increasingly popular across businesses worldwide. In fact, the VoIP services market is expected to reach 348.5 million subscribers by 2020—a huge growth for the market. As a telecom reseller, this should grab your attention, as capitalizing on this expansion in the telecommunications market can help boost your own profits.
IP-PBX solutions make for a powerful addition to a reseller's toolkit, guaranteeing customer satisfaction and increasing the likelihood of repeat business due to the myriad of benefits derived from the advanced communications tool.
Below are two dynamic ways telecom resellers can reap ROI when selling software-based solutions like IP-PBX:
IP-telephony is cutting-edge
With an IP-based phone system offering, customers seeking progressive communications options will likely want to hear about your product deliverables. You should also be prepared to advise your customers, who are continually looking for upgrades and improvements, by keeping abreast of evolving technologies.
A best-in-class IP-PBX provides customers with a system that integrates phone functions with computer-based applications—an important asset in today's evolving communications technology. Businesses are hungry for flexible, multiplatform communication tools. An IP-PBX allows for the integration of unified communications tools, such as web conferencing and instant messaging that provide companies with future-proof methods of collaborating.
Customer satisfaction is guaranteed
Due to the software-based infrastructure of an IP-PBX, you can assure customers that they don't need to worry about difficult deployment involving downtime or a disruption in the flow of business. For instance, a customer from the contact center space will most likely be concerned with maintaining uptime when transitioning phone systems, since this industry depends on consistent customer service operations.
Not only is the transition from a legacy phone system to an IP-PBX made simple, the day-to-day upkeep is easy as well. Software-based phone systems are configured and maintained from a computer-based interface. As such, companies can maintain and upgrade their phone system—by creating inter-office bridges, for instance—internally, rather than requiring an expensive visit from a legacy phone technician.
Telecom resellers: If you're looking to boost your profits this year, start leveraging the benefits of an IP-PBX .

Back to the Drawing Board....Literally
This past week I was traveling on business which took me away from all my paints and pens for a little while. Consequently, I haven't been keeping up with the Inktober sketches....and it's pretty much not going to happen with the few days left in this month, but I did do one tonight, and also put it on another envelope to send out to an unsuspecting recipient. I love this time of year where the leaves turn and the air gets cool and crisp....at least in other parts of the country. Here in Arizona the only leaves changing color is when they are on fire for being so dry. Actually, it is getting cooler, which makes for lovely evenings and bearable soccer practices with my youngest.

Inktober #5
This one is a quickie before heading to bed. Trying to catch up on a sketch a day with ink in the month of October. This one modeled after a photo of a mug shot of an old woman from the early 1900's in Australia.

Yes, I am behind again, but I'm trying to keep up. I did this while waiting in the car for my son to finish his soccer practice this afternoon. To be completely forthright, its ink plus pencil...so I would have to call it an inkleadtober contribution...regardless, here's a sketch of a photo of an old Italian farmer from the 1800s I found online.

Inktober #3
Alas, I am caught up. Here is drawing #3 for the 3rd of October. You can't go wrong with drawing insects. This is one of my favorite specimens, the stag beetle.

Inktober #1
I've decided this month to participate in the famous "Inktober" wherein one strives on every day in October to post something drawn only with ink. I'm a day behind, since today is the 2nd...so I've got to knock something else out too. But here's a little sketch of Thomas S. Monson, current Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

My Fair Lady....bug.
These weekend has given me a lot of time to sit and listen to people far wiser than me via General Conference while working on a few more envelopes for various people, friends. I'm so grateful that there are kind, sincere and trustworthy voices in a world that is belching with discord and anger and I find some solace in knowing that leadership still can be found despite the apparent drought of integrity that we see so much of.
Nonetheless, I went back to my doodling of insects, something I love, for one envelope. There is something magical about the contrast of black and red on the backs of ladybugs! I also did an envelope for some young, yet insightful new parents that just lost their firstborn during childbirth. Finally, I returned to the sea for a quick doodle of an octopus for yet another envelope to send out this week. There is so much color in the ocean, and I find myself going back to fish and other things therein to explore with the pen.
A special thanks to all who reached out through comments and other means to share your thoughts about posting. They were appreciated!

Smoking Loon Syrah 2010
California, $15
By the time you read this, all 39,000 bottles of Shafer's Relentless Syrah are likely to be snapped up. The huge, boozy wine graces the top position in the Wine Spectator's annual Top 100, which means it's more instantly coveted than a golden ticket. I haven't tasted it, though I do generally enjoy Shafer's highly extracted, highly praised Cabernets and Merlots. The alcohol on the Relentless is a jaw dropping 15.6%—we're getting dangerously close to port territory, folks—which is to say, this isn't a syrah made in the classic Rhone incarnation. So given that you can't get it, can I offer a substitute? The Smoking Loon Syrah is about one-fifth the price of the Relentless (and that was before the Top 100), it's available everywhere and it has a full 2.1% less alcohol. I hate to sound like one of those alcohol curmudgeons who wants everything lean and mean, but the trend of high alcohol syrahs isn't for me. And the Smoking Loon's leaner profile means that its lovely soft plum and herb notes can sing a little. That being said, if you know where I can still source a bottle of the Relentless.

The essence of the secret agreement to bring 4-500 thousand immigrants from Turkey to the territory of the European Union, and distribute them among member states on a mandatory basis.
According to the prime minister, the key task of the next period will be to fend off the Turkish-German pact adding that he was convinced that even the implementation of this secret agreement wouldn't stop the unprecedented migration pressure on Europe.
The Prime Minister understands that the pact has already been concluded, but for the time being they do not dare to make it public.
(MTI – hungarianambiance.com)
János Lázár: We are prepared to protect the border
The migration pressure on Hungary this year will intensify said the Head of the Prime Minister's Office János Lázár on his Thursday's press conference in Budapest.
The EU making preparations to take in illegal immigrants from Turkey who then, will be arbitrarily distributed among member states. Hungary is therefore, preparing for a serious fight.
The government is already making preparations to construct a fence on the Hungarian - Romanian border.
Consultations with neighboring countries, regarding the migration crisis are not encouraging. The Turkey threatens to allow millions of migrants, who wish to travel to Europe to pass through its territory - reminded Lázár.
According to the government's assessment, 2016 will be a difficult year. We will be under constant pressure, which would require the formation of a united front, which can include the parliamentary parties, the armed forces and the police.

A few years ago my friends and I had a 12-man fantasy draft of 'LOST' characters that lasted an entire evening (we invited a few girls to join but strangely none of them showed up). We laid down very few ground rules and didn't so much as even discuss what the goal was in constructing a team. If I drafted Kate, could I make out with her? Would Sawyer and Jack on the same team cause chemistry problems? Did every team need a member to type in 4,8,15,16,23,42 and press enter every 108 minutes? What the hell was the point of this draft??
Maybe there was no point. Maybe there was no resolution. Maybe the whole purpose was to spend time together and solidify life-long friendships. "The most important part of your life was the time that you spent with these people in that bar ignoring girls and drafting characters from 'LOST'. That's why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them, and they needed you."
Or maybe I clearly won the draft when I snagged 'Smoke Monster' in the 4th round and I only hung out with those losers so I could destroy them in a hypothetical fantasy draft. That sounds more likely.
Fast forward to last week – we held another fantasy draft and we need your help determining a winner. Here's how this one worked:
- 12 participants, draft order chosen at random, draft is snake style
commercial mold removal in Costa Mesa
mold remediation
home mold removal
remove mold in DeSoto TX
commercial mold removal Springfield OR
remove mold Grapevine TX
remove mold Clarksville TN
home mold removal
(last pick of the first round gets first pick of the second round).
- Each participant chooses a team of 6, made up of players from one particular NBA season between 1999-00 and 2011-12. Once a player is gone, he is unavailable from other seasons (i.e. you can't take Shaq from 00-01 and then Shaq from 01-02). The goal is to create the best overall team under the assumption they would actually play with each other. This is NOT your typical fantasy game where you simply add up points, rebounds, assists, etc. Anyone who is anyone and/or Chris Bosh knows that stats are dependent on who you are playing with. Factors such as chemistry, usage rates, versatility, individual and team defense, team makeup, team size, and team speed must be taken into account. The stats are provided simply as one bit of guidance for voters. The real question is, who has created the best actual basketball team?
- Each participant writes a ~500 character blurb defending their team.
- We post everything online. America votes (poll is on the bottom). The site goes totally viral and Bill Simmons invites us in for a 3 hour podcast to discuss the draft. Taylor Swift listens to the podcast – calls me up – we date – she writes a song about me. We break up – she writes another song about me. I find out the whole time I was actually dating Rhonia Touiasosopo. Kim Kardashian tweets me to ask if she can date Tracy McGrady 2003-2004. Sportscenter invites me to co-host with Lindsay Czarniak. We connect on a deep emotional level but I keep things professional. I acquire funding for my next venture, SteveNovakLetsHangOut.com. Steve Novak and I become best friends.
So without further ado, here are the 12 contending teams. Please analyze them carefully and make a thoughtful choice. This isn't a joke. If you can't take a 12-man 1999-2011 NBA Fantasy Dr 1c48 aft Vote that you found on a random internet blog with a 45-character URL seriously, what can you take seriously?
So, who won our stupid NBA Fantasy Draft?

Ahmedabad, Apr 7 (PTI) As many as 18 villages in the parched Saurashtra region of Gujarat were today declared as scarcity-hit by the state government.
Among them, half a dozen villages fall under Chotila taluka of Surendranagar district. The rest are in Vinchhiya taluka of Rajkot district, an official release said here.
The villages were declared scarcity-hit due to a shortage of water caused by deficient rainfall in the region during the last monsoon, it said.
Revenue Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama today presided over a high-level meeting where he assessed the scarcity situation in Gujarat.
During the meeting, the government decided to provide cattle feed (grass) at a subsidised rate of just Rs 2 per kg in 566 villages, including those declared scarcity-affected, in Saurashtra and Kutch regions, said the release.
Chudasama said the administration is fully prepared to deal with any situation arising out of water scarcity. The state currently has a stock of around 4.11 crore kg of grass.
As many as 70 villages and 28 other localities across Gujarat have been provided water through tankers.
Small, medium and large dams in Gujarat, numbering 204, currently have 12,171 million cubic meters of water in them, which is 57.85 per cent of their actual storage capacity. These include the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada river, the release said.
The situation is much better than the previous year, when the water storage around this time was 42 per cent, it added. PTI PJT PD RSY

I very rarely blog about my divorce or my ex wife. It's a part of my life that is thankfully over. In a nutshell, we got married, had two awesome kids and just as my career was taking off ( I had just become a full time police officer) My ex decided she didn't exactly want to be married anymore. (She had been cheating on me from the time just before I had been accepted into the police academy) and making life hell for me through this entire ordeal. I'm no saint and I was and do accept my shortcomings and have strived to better myself each and every day.
Evil Ex took a 7 year hiatus from her parenting duties, leaving me to raise our two children. Just as things were settling in for me with great kids, an awesome new wife, and a carreer in law Enforcement taking off. She and her now hubby decide that they can fit the kids into their busy schedule. Thusly turning the world of my kids and I into a frenzy all so she could feel like she was doing her part.
In the beginning I was all for her re-aquainting and doing motherly things. However each time I gave into her demands, she would demand more.
I was granted custody of the kids. That very rarely happens in Massachusetts. She kept asking and then demanding more time with the kids until she was getting them half the week. At that point she petitioned the court for a designation of "Shared Physical Custody" due to the fact that they were now at her house half the time, and she got it.
That wan't good enough though, she decided then that she want's full custody citing my job as the reason for her change of heart.
I bring all that up because today I had a pre trial hearing for the custody trial. It went very well for me and I am optimistically hopefull. That being said, I'm tired, spent and just plane old warn out by the entire custody experience.
When I was a kid I figgured I'd get married, hae kids, become a cop, buy a house and grow old watching the grand kids from my rocking chair on the porch. How I wish I could remember and recall those feelings, But Evil Ex ruined that experience as well as shaking my faith in humankind to its core, all the while I just had to suck it up and drive on.
I am thankful that I was set free when I was so that I could find and marry a wonderful woman and experience true happiness as a happily married dad to now 3 of the most awesome kids in the whole world.
I did have a few gotcha moments at court today.
- I had a hearing for work that was scheduled for today and had to be at court and available for that trial (which I was) so technically I got paid while I had to endure the custody thing
- One of the lawyers defending another client who was in the court while my case was being heard came out to me in the hallway afterwards and told me that I conducted myself admirably in court, my lawyer did a fine job, and wished me luck noting that anyone with half a brain could tell that Evil Ex was hosing me bigtime. (Evil Ex was several feet away and was evesdropping when the lawyer said this and got visibally annoyed)

A Distorted Truth: Book One
It isn't often that a revealor is found. One a decade is more than the Ravean Court can hope to find. To see through the illusions of a Distortionist is no small feat, yet no task beyond a mere Discerner. A Revealor is not limited to simply perceiving the truth, but can lead others through the webs of deceit, an important skill for dealing with Distortionist cabals and freelancers.
Tonight, however, one young woman will discover her unique potential as revealors are needed most. While court discerners and criminal distortionists alike are being murdered by a mysterious sect, no one is safe.
Those who wish to hide the truth dissuade those who seek it, threaten those who near it, and with a flash of gold, silence those who perceive it. When the truth is imperative such silence is instead purchased with a flash of steel.
As the quintessence of perception and the champion of truth, this young revealor is the most dangerous enemy to the zealous assassins, teh criminal underworld, and the very court that guides her. After all, perception is power... or so the saying goes.

These are the 4 designs of the vintage tins. Cool right? Each set comes with 2 packs of cornflakes, 1 of which is packed inside the tin. I've gotten myself 1 set for a start and already contemplating on another :p
Well, to use up the cornflakes, I have to think of different ways of eating it since it's not exactly my favourite and I will get sick of it quickly. Besides eating it with milk, I serve it with yogurt, make cornflake cookies and honey cornflakes cups as well. In addition, I started to incorporate cornflakes into my cooking, like this Cornflakes Chicken Fillet. Basically I just crushed the cornflakes, added some melted butter, used it as a coating for the chicken fillet and air-fried the fillet.
Other than chicken fillet, the coating can be used for chicken thigh, pork chop, fish fillet, prawns etc, essentially this cornflake coating is a perfect substitute for breadcrumbs.
The cornflakes coating makes the chicken fillet (or any food) crispy and has a tinge of fragrance that I enjoy. The fillets were a tad dry but I didn't bother making a separate sauce or dip, just ate them with a bit of tonkatsu sauce or thai chilli sauce. The other day I used boneless chicken leg and served it to my picky son and he actually loved it! Chicken leg or thigh meat would be more juicy and tender than chicken fillet of course. I think next up I'll be trying on fish fillet and prawns :)
To prepare the cornflakes coating, place the cornflakes in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin or cup or bottle. Then drizzle with some melted butter and it's ready to use. I used unsalted butter as I ran out of salted ones, I think it'll be more fragrant if salted butter is used.
For the chicken fillets, I just marinated them with some sea salt and black pepper. First coat the chicken with some cornstarch, followed by lightly beaten egg and finally roll the fillet around the crushed cornflakes. The fillets were then air-fried for 10-12 mins at 180 degree celsius. After coating the fillets, they could be stored in ziplock bags and freeze for future use.
The chicken fillets looked so crispy after air-frying. For side dish, I air-fried some cherry tomato and potato that have tossed with olive oil, sea salt and mixed herbs.
Cornflakes Chicken Fillet
- 300g Chicken fillet, cut into 6-7 strips (can be replaced by boneless chicken thigh, fish or prawn)
- 50g Cornflakes
- 25g Butter, melted
- Sea salt, black pepper
- Corn starch, egg (lightly beaten)
Side dish
- Marinate the chicken fillet with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Place cornflakes in a ziplock bag, crushed using rolling pin or bottle.
- Add melted butter into crushed cornflakes and mix well.
- Coat fillet with corn starch, follow by egg and finally the cornflakes.
- Air-fry for 10-12 mins at 180 degree celsius, turning over once. (alternatively, pan-fry or bake).
Potato - cut into cubes, toss in olive oil, sea salt and mixed herbs. Air-fry for 10-12 mins at 180 degree celsius.
Cherry tomato - cut into halves, toss in olive oil, sea salt and mixed herbs. Air-fry for 10-12 mins at 180 degree delsius.
So there you go, serve with some greens and we have a simple yet yummlicious lunch for one. Bon appetit!

Guys today just a quick post about something interesting which came across me today.
Just want to know your opinion...
Negativity and aggressive behaviour is a good thing or bad?
Well of course it is a bad and all this "how could she/he do that?" "how could she/he say that?".
But hey, being nice always isn't very good either. By being aggressive we can actually stimulate people to wake up and make things better.
I am a very kind and sensitive person who would definitely prefer the loving kind relationship with others, but a negative comment can easily take my feet of the ground.
So what is your opinion and how would you prefer people stimulating you?
Please comment bellow! And yes darling reader, I know you are reading me!

Bringing the perspectives of Chinese scholars to the UN
In April, AFSC and QUNO collaborated to bring three Chinese scholars and UN experts to the UN. During their short but productive trip, they presented their research on UN peace operations and shared their perspectives on three recent major UN reviews to a variety of Member States, UN officials, think tanks and other civil society actors in New York. China is becoming increasingly involved in supporting UN peace operations and peacebuilding in conflict-affected and post-conflict states, especially in Africa. Discussion on the three UN reviews remains at the forefront of the UN's agenda and QUNO believes it is crucial to bring a diversity of voices and perspectives to this process. By bringing these scholars to the UN, QUNO and AFSC hope to have contributed to this effort and provided the space for frank and open dialogue about China's involvement in peace operations.
