Those tunnels are neat and sometimes scary hey. It would be a perfect place for a criminal to steal doctors clothes .

That was very interesting and different. The bicycle sure was neat! What thousands of stories of hundreds of patients and staff those halls have heard...
And I'm very glad your hubby is doing better!

What an interesting and thought-provoking post. You have my admiration, that you could take photos at the same time that you must have had a lot of worries on your mind.
Well done!
(Tunneln påminner mig om en liknande anordning under sjukhuset i Lund, i södra Sverige, där vår dotter hjärtopererades som nyfödd. Jag tänkte i liknande banor. Tänkte att det hade varit intressant att ta bilder därifrån och skriva en berättelse om den. Men jag hade nog med att hålla dottern vid liv. Tack och lov klarade hon operationen och är en frisk och pigg sexåring idag.)

Fantastic journey in the tunnel of your hospital. Ours here is much the same, though I found ours to be creepier with some of the light bulbs blown out.

rain - liquide sunshine.
the pictures remind me of a favourite tv series called 'the hospital', yet i think it was from sweden, not sure though.
may you all have a wonderful weekend.

I love it that you have a pocket camera that you use when you don't want to be too obvious! It so happens that I have a small camera that I call my "spy camera," which reminds me that I ought to charge it's battery! :))

I'm not sure why but I feel like this could almost be the settign for a horror movie. In my mind I could picture scary music playing in the background and people hiding around the corners.
I'm glad the tunnel was used for such good purposes...I think I just have an overactive imagination.
Thanks for a terrific link to Alphabe-Thursday's letter "T".

Al Yahya who pedaled 5,145 kms over 75 days said the most daunting challenge was in Georgia's mountains
Manama: A Saudi biker has arrived in Moscow after riding more than 5,000 kilometres across several countries, Saudi Elekhbariya TV reported.
Fahad Al Yahya needed 75 days to cover the 5,145 kilometres from the Saudi capital Riyadh to the Russian capital, just in time for the World Cup finals in which Saudi Arabia is participating.
Al Yahya said he faced the most daunting challenges in Georgia due to the language barrier and the inability to communicate easily and to the mountainous nature of the country.
"You need strength, stamina and a lot of resilience as you pedal your way across demanding natural elements," he said.
Al Yahya pedaled through Turkey, Georgia and Russia, but there were no details how he reached Turkey.
He said that he had been warmly welcomed in all the countries he visited. The Russian reception and media attention were well beyond his expectations, especially that his ride was seen as among the activities on the sideline of the quadrennial tournament to be held on June 14 – July 15.
"I have carried with me the flag of Saudi Arabia which was graciously given to me by the Governor of Riyadh Prince Faysal Bin Badr in order to present it to the head of the Saudi football delegation as a message of hope and support," Al Yahya, 38, said.
"Arriving in Moscow is a historic moment and a dream come true. I am so happy that I could fulfill my promise of presenting the Saudi flag to the football delegation."
Saudi Arabia will take on hosts Russia in the opener of the month-long tournament on June 14. Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would be at the stadium to watch the game.
Russia is hosting the World Cup finals for the first time in its history. The matches will be played in 11 cities across the country, Moscow, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Saransk, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi and Yekaterinburg.
For the first time in the history of the World Cup launched in 1930, four Arab countries will be present in the finals – Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt were drawn in the same group, alongside Russia and Uruguay.

Hello! Welcome to Part 3 of Ice Princess. I hope you enjoy it!
You can go HERE to read the first two parts of this story.
You can go HERE to read any of my other shorts.
And always feel free to check out my page for my BTS stories Diamonds and 1234.
It hadn't taken long for you to enter professional mode and move on to showing him samples, pictures, and sketches you had made. Not that he had paid any attention to the pieces of paper you were showing to him. You clenched your jaw as you watched him out of the corner of your eye. He had yet to put his phone down and you could feel your irritation growing. Not only had he rescheduled your appointment for three hours earlier than planned, at the very last minute you might add, but he had also had the audacity to actually ignore what you were showing him.
You bit the inside of your cheek and pulled out your tablet. If he wanted to play… then you were going to play. You quickly searched through your files until you found the one labeled 'Princess Pink'. The picture was of a room you had completed a few months back for a celebrity's daughter. This was the best way to see if he was even paying attention to what you were saying.
You angled your tablet so that he would clearly be able to see the picture and smiled. "I think this would be the best concept for the presidential suit. It is elegant and would be widely loved by women." You paused and waited for his response.
"It's perfect we will go with that." He didn't even bother looking up from his phone. You pulled up even more ridiculous pictures of rooms that you found easily on google and he proceeded to agree to using them. You could feel your anger rising with every agreement.
Irritated you snapped the cover back onto your tablet and started to gather your things. You had never met someone nearly as irritatingly unprofessional as this man. Your eyes rolled freely in your head as you thought about the fact that, just this morning, you had been wondering if you would see him again at your next ball. Now? Now you realized you had temporarily lost your mind. How could you have even shown interest in such an unprofessional, irritatingly rude, and completely clueless man? When you had finally packed all of the papers back into their folders, you stood up and cleared your throat. "When you are ready to actually have a meeting and not just stare at your phone like a teenage girl then please give my company a call. I do not have time to sit here all day and wait for you to act professional." It wasn't until the sound of your heels clicking against the marbled floor echoed through the room, that he finally realized that you were walking away.
"H... Hey!" He jumped out of the chair and moved to follow you. "We still have work to do." He reached out and grabbed your arm just like he had done at the party the night before.
You roughly pulled your arm away from him and shot a glare in his direction. "We never even started." You shot angrily.
He furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head. "No we picked a few good ideas."
You couldn't help but laugh. "Oh yes, your customers would love having a 6-year-old little girl's idea of a great room as the presidential suit and floors two through five decorated with dinosaurs, dragons, Mario Brothers, and unicorns."
He looked at you confused for a moment then shook his head. "I never agreed to that."
You scoffed and shook your head. "I'm sorry Mr. Taecyeon I cannot have a meeting with someone who is not even sure what they are agreeing to. I would not like to apply a theme to a room that you would be unsatisfied with. This doesn't seem like a good time as I see you are busy." You bowed. "Now if you will excuse me, I have another appointment." You turned on your heels and headed straight for the door, wondering who you could pawn this job off on. You decided you would be happier if your path never crossed with his again.
Your day had seemed never ending. After the issue with Mr. billionaire this morning you had had nothing but bad luck. No one wanted to take on the project and you were informed you would be stuck with the task no matter how hard you had tried to get out of it. It looked like as soon as you had left, Taecyeon had called your boss and told him that he wanted to keep you as his designer. He would not work with the company if you were not assigned to every project he requested. This had only ended in your blood boiling and you wondering why he wanted to torture you.
The driver pulled into your driveway and you got out. Nothing sounded better than taking a nice hot bath then going to bed. You were not looking forward to meeting with Mr. Rude and Rich the next day. Unfortunately, you didn't even have to wait that long. You checked your email on your tablet as you headed to the kitchen. A glass of wine sounded fantastic with your bubble bath, and you didn't want to have to come down again and meet with your mother. Having your purse and things still in your hands gave you an escape to your sanctuary once she started on you about marriage and babies.
You walked through the kitchen door and almost instantly ran into what you thought was a wall, your tablet smacking you right in the face. Scrunching up your face you pulled the offending device away from your nose and looked up at the ever grinning Taecyeon. You screamed involuntarily and backed yourself into the door. "What are you doing here?" You asked. You had dropped all formalities and were now sure he had become a stalker.
"Y/N! That is no way to treat our guest!" You looked over his shoulder at your glaring mother. Of course, his being here could only be the work of one conniving woman. Apparently she had taken a liking to him and you came to the conclusion you would be seeing more of him than you wanted to.
You pushed your way passed an amused Taecyeon and stomped up to your mother. "What is he doing here mother?" You hissed in a whisper.
"I want grandbabies and he is cute." She stated simply only causing you to groan in dismay.
"I would never have 'babies' with that rude, unprofessional, irritatingly obnoxious jerk if he was the last man on earth." You shot back.
"Seems I have made quiet the impression." You spun on your heels a bit startled. You hadn't realized he had made his way just behind you.
"Look here unicorn boy, I have no interest in decorating your hotel or marrying you so just back off." You looked up at him glaring.
"Unicorn Boy?" He started to laugh and shook his head. "Cannot say I have heard that one before." He smiled down at you and you felt your irritation rising again. He was trying to push your buttons, he wanted to make you angry. But why? Why continue to try and upset you if he wanted to marry you like every other money hungry jerk out there. Maybe he didn't want to marry you so he hoped you would end your mothers ranting and raving and let him have some peace if he kept pissing you off? He placed his hand on your lower back causing you to stiffen as he smiled at your mother. "I would love to accept your offer Ma'am."
"Offer?" Your entire world froze. She did it again? "What offer mother?" You hoped that there was some kind of business offer they had been discussing and it had nothing to do with her going back on her word and once again trying to sell you to some rich snob. You tried to push Taecyeon away and move to get closer to your mother but he wrapped an arm around your waist. "Yah! Let me go!" You pushed at him but he only smirked.
"We will be going then." You didn't even get a chance to protest or get any answers before the very tall man pulled you out of your own house and put you into his car.
"Where are we going?" You demanded.
"On our first date of course." He answered like he had just stated the simplest and well known fact to all of humanity. You were so thrown off that you weren't even sure how to respond. What in the world was happening? What did he and your mother agree to? And why in the world did he think you would agree to date his rude and irritating self?
The thought of jumping out of the moving car crossed your mind, but as if sensing your thoughts, he locked the door and turned to you a smirk on his lips. "So do you want to eat French or Italian?"
Sooooooo as you can see this story has taken on a mind of it's own and I can honestly say it can no longer be called a short. This will not be a full blown story like Diamonds or 1234 but I am sure there will be one or two more parts to this one. (Don't want to give you all a horrible ending... well at least if I didn't intend to do so at the beginning.)
As always thank you for reading my story and I hope you are enjoying it. I just wanted to let you all know that I will be bouncing around to different groups often and if you are only interested in being tagged in one particular group or groups then please let me know, otherwise you will be tagged in all of my work.

186 cm (6'1")
65 kg (143 lbs)
|Mobile Suit(s):
|First Appearance:
|Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3
|Voice Actors:
Richard Ian Cox (EN)
Hiroyuki Yoshino (JP)
|DLC character and Mobile Suit. Second Season also says he was born in the Republic of Kazakhstan to explain how he is half Russian, half Chinese.
Allelujah Haptism (アレルヤ・ハプティズム) is a Gundam Meister, or Gundam pilot, for an independent armed revolutionary group called Celestial Being, a group that seeks to create an unified future for Earth. They seek to reenact the plans of the departed technological genius, Aeolia Schenberg, by using their weapons to end any military conflict. During the first movements of their revolution, they rely on Veda, a super computer constructed by Aeolia nearly 200 years before Celestial Being is formed.
Years before he became a member of Celestial Being, Allelujah was a test subject of the Super Soldier Research Institute, which takes in young children to become living weapons devoid of emotions. Children within the vicinity are forced to endure several inhumane experiments based on the scientists' desires. Due to the experiments Allelujah endured, a violent duo personality called Hallelujah (ハレルヤ) emerged. Since it's considered taboo and unorthodox by standard military protocol, the facility is top secret and kept under wraps by its supervisors. Allelujah escapes and, to grant the children imprisoned within and his past peace, later destroys the facility himself. Due to the surgeries he experienced, he has some control over quantum brainwaves, making him instinctively aware of the mental control and connection used by Innovators and fellow Super Soldier, Soma Peries.
During a decisive space fight with Soma Peries, Allelujah learns that Soma is actually his friend from his past, Marie Parfacy. After he is rescued by Celestial Being from a military prison, Allelujah decides he wants to continue piloting his Gundam to rescue and protect Marie. Though he doesn't like to fight, he wants to be a part of Celestial Being to prevent a future in which Super Soldiers like him are made.
Mission ModeEdit
If Allelujah performs certain moves in battle, Hallelujah may emerge to say a line now and then. Players can spot the switch by listening to the change of vocabulary and tone of Allelujah's voice.
Like other downloadable characters, Allelujah does not appear within the game's original story mode and stars in his own solo mission. Receiving a mission plan from Veda, he is given the task of taking the enemy base to open a path for ally forces. Although he works together with Setsuna, it's Allelujah's job to take out the enemy camp before ally forces deplete completely from the continuous wave of enemies. After he completes this mission, Allelujah has a random chance of becoming a Newtype.
Kind and gentle, Allelujah is a young, quiet man who is polite and courteous. He cares for the safety of his friends and civilians who he feels are innocent to the carnage surrounding them. Though he once despised conflict, he has since accepted it as a necessary means for ending the depravity of the world. He may brood over his past and decisions, but Allelujah has the motivation to keep believing his actions to be just. His resolution to live is stronger than his secondary ego, allowing him to remain dominant most of the time. Allelujah seeks to protect Marie, his one good part of his past, and dearly treasures her. He doesn't want her to fight and wants her to depend on him.
His other half, Hallelujah, is bloodthirsty, loud, and outright sadistic. A separate entity from Allelujah's thoughts, Hallelujah calls him "his partner" and expects his other half to keep both of them alive. Since "he" wants to survive, he reluctantly protects Allelujah's body during the grimiest of times. He may emerge at times when Allelujah doubts his peaceful ways or when Marie is in extreme danger. He rampages throughout the battlefield in each of his appearances, improving Allelujah's offensive maneuvers greatly. Hallelujah is the one who can control quantum brainwaves, so he may angrily emerge to yell at whoever is "inside his head".
- "Allelujah Haptism, zoning in on the target."
- "Aim to kill!"
- "Ka-zam!"
- "Is that it?!"
- "Thank you."
- "This makes into a one-of a kind killer but...that's Celestial Being!"
- "I'm not sure I catch your drift."
- "I have to change the world with this Gundam... After all, fighting is the only thing a Super Soldier can do."
- "Now I am a one-of-a-kind killer... This is the way of Celestial Being!"
- "The enemy field is completely mine."
- "The world is at odds with itself, that is what we intend to change."
- "Without techniques to combat enemy attacks, wouldn't you feel like death is just around the corner?"
- "That was your last warning. We are going to launch our attack."
- "So you really have guts, huh?"
- "That was way too careless."
- "And what does it mean to be thick-skinned?"
- "That's right! We're True Gundam Dynasty Warriors! Ha ha ha!"
- "You're a True Gundam Dynasty Warrior? That's got a nice ring to it."
- "Mission accomplished! The operation went as planned!"
Out of the four Gundam Meisters, Allelujah has average stats and doesn't excel in any trait. He has a stronger Melee rating than Lockon or Tieria, but his strengths aren't as high as Setsuna's capabilities. Since his stats are a bit more balanced and flexible than his comrades' traits, he can pilot any type of Mobile Suit. He won't be able to deal as much damage as the other Meisters, but his strengths are at least above-average within the cast.
Allelujah has special SP attack quotes with Four, Rosamia, Jerid, Glemy, Puru, Marida, Milliardo, and Lockon. He will say a special quote for Newtype pilots.
Players cannot nor do they need to build Friendship levels with Allelujah. Once he's downloaded, he will automatically be made available as a possible Operator (which would often require Level 5 intimacy with other characters); his Mobile Suit will be available for other characters after five missions.

5 Hidden Beaches Near Manila You Should Visit This Summer
It's the summer season once again, and the country's popular beaches will once again be filled with a large number of people who just wants to relax, enjoy, and bask under the sun. While some would be delighted to see a number of people flocking the beaches, some would rather spend their vacations in peace, reading a nice book and watching as the waves crash down the shore.
For the traveller who's not a big fan of huge crowds and busy islands, worry not, as we're giving you our top 5 secluded beaches that are just a few hours from Manila.
5. Borawan Beach, Quezon Province
Located in Pagbilao Chica Island in Pagbilao, Quezon, Borawan Beach is a place where you could see rock formations like those in Palawan, and white – though not as fine – sand beach like in Boracay. Though there are no resorts or inns in the area, there are still cottages, toilet, and shower rooms people could use whilst there.
How to get there: Ride a bus (Jac Liner) headed to Lucena, Quezon (P250-P260) and hop off at the Lucena Grand Terminal. Take a non-airconditioned bus (P35-40) and ask the driver to drop you off at the QCRB Bank. Ride a tricycle and tell the driver to take you to where you could ride a boat to Borawan. Prices for the boat ride vary from one boatman to another, so try to haggle with the prices to get them to lower it down.
4. Cagbalete Island in Mauban, Quezon Province
Image taken by Allan Baredo via TrekLens
Cagbalete Island is located at Lamon Bay in Mauban, Quezon. It is a popular place to visit by backpackers and travellers who are on a budget because of the island's 3-mile sandbar and white sand beaches. More resorts and hotels were established in the island because of the increasing number of tourists, but to those who are planning to camp may also opt to pitch their own tents.
How to get there: Ride a JAC Liner bus which headed to Mauban Port (P270). You may also ride a bus from Cubao or Buendia to Lucena, Quezon (P200) then catch a mini-bus which will take you to Mauban Port (P60-70). Head straight to the tourism office to register, pay the environmental fee (P50/person), and ride a boat going to Cagbalete Island (P50). For those who are travelling in groups, you may rent a private boat for P3500, for 8-10 people.
3. Dinadiawan Beach in Aurora
Image grabbed from weekendsidetrip.com
As soon as people hear "Aurora," they would immediately think of the beaches in Baler which are perfect for surfing. What people don't know is there's a hidden white sand paradise in Aurora which would give you just the right dosage of "Vitamin Sea." The complete opposite of Baler's beaches, the waters in Dinadiawan Beach are calm and quiet, giving people a place to just chill and appreciate nature. Tourists may choose on whether they want to spend a night in resorts, or opt to camp by the beach.
How to get there: Ride a Genesis Transportation bus from Cubao to Dipaculao and ask to be dropped off at Dipaculao Beach.
2. Potipot Island in Zambales
Image grabbed from Paulo Maceren via National Geographic
Located in Uacon, Candelaria in Zambales, this 7.5 hectare island is perfect to those who would want to soak in the island's crystal clear waters. Potipot Island is also famous for its powdery-white sand, and the trees which give shade to those who'd want to relax and have a picnic with their friends and/or relatives. There aren't any resorts or hotels in the island, so if you're planning to stay overnight, you may have to rent from one of the few cottages, or you could also bring a tent you can pitch in a spot you prefer.
How to get there: Ride a Victory bus from their Pasay, Caloocan, or Cubao terminals en route to Sta. Cruz, Zambales. Go down at the Uacon Barangay Hall in Candelaria where you can ride a tricycle that will take you to Potipot Island's jump-off point. From there, a boat will be taking you for a 5-10 minute ride to the island.
1. Masasa Beach in Batangas
Image grabbed from gievale.wordpress.com
Those who are the type to spend a night camping and admiring the wonders of nature would surely enjoy spending a day, a night even, in Masasa Beach. Located in Tingloy Island, Batangas, this particular beach is yet to be discovered by people who are looking for a not-so-crowded getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Aside from the clear waters, the beach also boasts of a picturesque view of rock formations. There are no hotels and resorts in the area, so people are encouraged to rent a cottage, pitch a tent, or sleep under the night sky. Some also opt to visit the place during the day, and stay at a resort in Anilao.
How to get there: Ride a bus from Manila to Batangas City Grand Terminal (P120-128). From there, take a jeepney to Anilao Port (P35), and a boat to Tingloy (P70). From the port in Tingloy, ride a tricycle which will then take you to Masasa Beach (P30).

Family Time
Most afternoons we'd gather around the television in the living room under a too dense mat of cats and watch, together, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I had watched the entire series on my own while I waited on Shana and Gwynyth to finalize our move and rescue me from the horrible hotel I was living in.
But this was different. This viewing prompted discussion not only on the proper method for dispatching a vampire but on human relations and the role of women in society and the correct verbing of nouns. That is what most Joss Whedon works are about, after all.
And then, after we'd slogged through the first couple of seasons with their hyena people and preying mantis monsters, NetFlix failed.
Season 5, disk two, LONG WAIT.
But we couldn't skip it, right? I mean, I know everyone was in a hurry to get to the musical episode and everything but even the preying mantis episode gets mentioned again. Watching episodes out of order is just bad form.
So, after gazing at our suddenly unsatisfying DVD collection and dreading even a brief break in what had become a family ritual over the course of about a month, I did the reasonable thing.
Amazon.com delivered the Complete Chosen Collection of seasons 1-7 the following day, and balance was restored.
We have since started watching Angel, the Buffy spin-off, since none of us had seen it and Firefly was disturbing and complicated and difficult to explain, not to mention really, really dark at points.
But Angel is only five seasons, and on the other side of that is a glaring abyss of non-Whedon. Bad TV is way worse than no TV.
We aren't the type of family that sits around and puts together quilts, really, but sharing an experience, especially with discussion, has become a needed part of our evening.
I'm not hooking cable back up, though.
There is entirely too much crap television.
Maybe I should pick up some fabric squares and thread, just in case.

We've been watching Buffy marathons on Logo but the commercials for the Sarah Silverman Program and Rupal's Drag Race make it almost unbearable. They also run them completely out of order, not even from the same season. We only own season one on DVD but that may be about to change. Think we own more Six Feet Under than that and it may be time to bust those out too.
Even watching hockey has taken a dive, during the holidays, we just got a lot of catchy HTC ads but now it's all Quizno's and their chicken "sammie" all the time. Will, Jake and I put our hands over our ears and sing LA LA LA at the top of our voices when it comes on. WTF is a "sammie"? It's a goddam sandwich for chrissakes. RIP JD : )

Cool. I'll swap you for a knitting lesson.


text: As a client and I were recently working on wrapping up her course of therapy she mentioned the well known words of Nanny McPhee about her time in therapy. "When you need me but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I have to go." As her therapist sitting on the chair across from the couch, the words were very touching and very true. These words have stuck with me. Leaving me with a sense of pride that I was able to be the one to hold space for her, while she did the work she was so resistant and fearful of.

A journal entry from: World Tour 2008
I'm writing this diary a week afterwards and somehow in wrong order, but I'm not travelling around that logical anymore, since I visited Singapore twice this week, but this island stay were in between.
And I just applied for my courses at university back in Uppsala. It feels great to see the end of le paradize that I've been enjoying for three years soon. One year travelling around and making great friends in and around Switzerland. One year exploring my cultural/musical side with my new family at Skinnskattebergs folkhogskola. And this year working and travelling around all over the world, feeling a bit lost in the world. Like my mother sang to me as a child:
Varlden ar sa stor sa stor, Lasse Lasse liten.
Storre an du nansin tror, Lasse Lasse liten.
The world is very big, and there are so many people everywhere. It's so easy to make new friends all over the world. And way to easy to loose the contact again.
Sometimes, or often when I wake up in the morning I feel lost.
Which country am I in?
Where are my friends and family?
What am I supposed to today? What is my mission in this place? Why am I here?
So I wake up and walk around in this big city. Go through one huge shopping mall after another.
Looking at people walking faster than me. Where are they going? Probably they are at lunch break from work.
They work, they go to school. And afterwards they have free time to do what they want a couple of hours.
And they can become my friends and show me their city and culture, show what they do in the free time. How they let time pass by in the evenings and weekends. And when they go back to work. I go.. where?
I continue to pass my seven months of free time. Figuring out the meaning of travelling. Or mostly plan for my next travels, plan for the next place. And try to avoid not to spend all my money. Staying healthy. Staying happy.
Thinking, sometimes too tired too think.
Three months of travelling so far. Last week I've started thinking of what the purpose is with my travelling and I wonder if I can do anything good to other people. Not just travelling around exploiting the poverty in the world to let them wash my clothes, serve my food and so on. And also I wonder about the bigger picture of travelling and life. When going around in all these different countries I try to see similiarities/differences and try to figure out what makes people happy and what their meaning of life is.
It seems that family is very important. But also, I don't know, people actually seems a bit lost here too like in Sweden. But more people around here have some kind of religion and belief of what is good to do in life. Some culture/religion/family rules to guide them on their way. And it seems very important to get married and found a new family. Maybe that's the meaning of life, simple as that.
I don't know...
Otherwise Singapore is a really hi-tech place. I get lost in the huge air conditioned shopping malls and sometimes don't feel the equator tropical heat here, for hours. People are beautiful, they are a mix of indian, chinese, malays and the rest of the world and dressed in fashion clothes. The cinema is like a fridge. The zoo has lot of cool monkeys. IKEA was nice to visit to get some swedish Gott och blandat and salt sill. My host family was very nice. I've never seen so many indians as in Little India. I've never spent this much money in just a few days since Hong Kong..
And today I fly to Jakarta in Indonesia, 7th April I fly back to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia from Yogjakarta in Indonesia.
What do people like to do there?

Krystle is 23 years old and just recently moved back to Vancouver after living in Calgary for 9 years. She is more then what meets the eye.
I really cant be defined because there is so much to me. I have many sides to me, but if anything I would say I'm pretty random. I have no fear and I like being silly and doing unexpected things. Those who know me also know I say a lot of unexpected comments. I like the shock value, and I love making others laugh , but most importantly I love making myself laugh. I am selfish with the purest intentions because in life you have to put yourself first because your the only one who can make yourself happy, not anyone or anything. by selfish I mean living for myself and looking out for number one. ultimately it does make you treat others better when your feeling good about yourself. so by being happy within, I am excited to talk to others and make a lasting impression. being selfish with the purest intentions meaning you do for you, and you don't have hatred for others or try to hurt them while your living for you. I love to write, I am very creative, my mind is always going. I have my note pad in my black berry filled with ideas as well as songs, and poems. I write every single day, whether it's just a verse, a chorus, or a quote. I get new ideas everyday. I am a huge believer and user of the law of attraction. I should be an example of it, and I am an example of it. I believe in feeling good inside and then what is matched to your energy will be brought to you. My newest tattoo on my side arm says "as within, so without" some people don't understand what it means and that just says a lot to me about them, but it's simple. As you feel on the inside, is going to appear and be brought forth on the outside.
Vancity Buzz: Describe your typical day off?
Krystle: Everyone that knows me, knows that I work a lot, so I rarely get a lot of down time. but when I do, I usually sleep in, then get ready (you gotta look cute living in Vancouver), if it's nice out I'll go to Starbucks then sit by the ocean and write my book and work on my songs. If it's raining which happens a lot here, I'll usually still get my daily Starbucks fix, then come home and spend as much time as I can writing. My days off are days that I got to get things done so I'll get groceries, go for a tan, and clean. I sound so boring, haha, it just really depends on the day. Now that it's winter I can't go to the beach everyday like I was in the summer, but in nice weather on my days off I like taking full advantage of it and being out as much as i can. I love biking the sea wall, and just hanging out with friends . Making the best of life and enjoying every moment, but also making sure I get my things done that I love.
VcB: Now on to modeling, How long have you been modeling and where do you see that going for you?
Krystle: I have been modeling since I was 18. I started doing the Sunshine girl in the Sun papers. I was a Sunshine girl 4 times, and then I appeared in their calendar, I was a Vex parting shot girl, I did a few contests as well and appeared in another calendar. I just recently shot for "Shoot for the Sun", that calendar comes out end of this year. With modeling, I love doing it, and i just take the opportunities that come to me. If anything I'm more into writing. But when things come up that I have good feelings about I will do them. I would love to be a spokesmodel for something, whether it be a make up product, clothing line, or hair product. I get a lot of attention and I know how to talk to people, so I would be a great candidate to be the face for a product or company.
VcB: I know you're a big music fan, what's your favourite band/artist of all time?
Krystle: There are so many artists and bands that I love, but for different reasons. Ultimately it is all art and it's kind of like paintings, everyone has their own style and preference when it comes to their masterpiece but all in all they are all talented and creative in their own ways and they all have a message and expression to it. Of course Britney is amazing because she is a great performer and she is a sweet heart and always puts on a good show. I love bands they are my favorite. I love watching live shows. I love people who can write lyrics and put music to their words. Tegan and Sara are very talented, I love Marianas Trench. Josh is so creative and I look up to that. The lyrics are so meaningful. When I listen to a song I look deeper into the lyrics and try to understand it. I like putting a story to the lyrics, since I write lyrics as well I know where my lyrics come from, so I like reading and looking into lyrics of others to get the feeling of where they came from. sometimes when I listen to some songs they are catchy but the lyrics make no sense, I like the more meaningful songs. I love Katy Perry , she is a great song writer, as well as her personality is a lot like mine. She has her silliness but also she has her serious side to her and her business side. I think she is very entertaining and a very smart lady.
VcB: Writing is a passion of yours, is there a book in your future?
Krystle: Yes there is! I have a lot of ideas…too many ideas. but a great friend of mine told me its better to have too much going on the none at all. I have novel ideas, as well as a self help/self motivation book going, my book that I plan on publishing first is still in the works but I am so excited. I feel like I could sit and write forever. I look forward to just writing in my future.
VcB: You work at Caprice, so I bet you've had some weird experience. Care to share one?
Krystle: Haha I think there is an experience for sure at least every night, I guess weird is one word you can use for it. since I work right by the VIP, above me there is a balcony from upstairs, one night at about 1:30 almost time to close it down for the night, this purple stuff comes down on my station…chunky purple , followed by clear water like stuff, someone has thrown up over the ledge and onto my space, thankfully I only go the clear stuff on me and I was able to avoid getting totally covered in barf. I think the real weird stuff happens on Granville after the bars have closed. I use to always wait for taxi's at 3 am , and you see fights, people puking, people crying, people fighting for cabs. They should make a reality show about Granville street after dark…
VcB: Favourite thing about Vancouver?
Krystle: I love how there is always something to do. I love nature and I love doing active things, so living here there is something you can do everyday. I love being so close to the water, I love to bring my Mac to the ocean and just writing in peace. There are just way too many things I love about Vancouver, which is why I live here and I am in love with it.

Motorcycle books
I have read a number of motorcycle publications and there are three books I can highly recommend.
Firstly the book that needs no introduction, the famous Twist of the Wrist (vol 2) from Keith Code. A performance riding handbook that explains in everyday terms what is happening when you brake, corner and accelerate on a motorcycle which has helped many people. A easy to read book that you can revisit many times and which improved my riding dramatically. The focus is mostly on going faster and my thoughts recently have shifted from performance riding to improving my safety margins so this book is something I think would best be enjoyed by newer riders or anyone doing track days or keen to take their riding up a level.
My most recent purchase has been Proficient Motorcycle Riding (vol 2) by David Hough. The author has been writing for American motorcycle magazines for so long that he now is retiring and has gone back and put together all the best information and articles and stories about every aspect of motorcycles and road riding skills and how to stay safe. The book has a huge scope from motorcycle behavior to advanced riding skills and many safety aspects quite simply it is the best book about real world motorcycling I have ever come across.
Lastly I want to recommend a book that is a great motivator to get out and ride. Regardless of what you may think of the movie stars Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman they did get out and do what so many only dream about and their tv show was some rare positive press for motorcyclists as well as the spark for numerous people to try their own adventure. The book is significantly better than the tv series and a terrific read. I really was disappointed by their second series through africa however purchased that book recently in hope that it may be better as was the case first time round. Will let you know, until then this book rates very highly with me given I like real life travel stories, add motorcycling and alot of humor and private thoughts cut from the tv show makes for a great read.
Update: well the book of their second tour is same as their tv series in Africa - not so good.

The Emerging Role of the Work-Family Manager. Report Number 987.
The Emerging Role of the Work-Family Manager. Report Number 987. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
The definition and structure of the relatively new job of work-family manager and the qualifications and career opportunities of individuals holding the job were explored in a study. Information was gathered from focus group discussions of 32 work-family managers, 68 completed responses to a 1991 survey of a sample of 116 work-family managers, a survey of 32 companies, and telephone interviews of a random sample of 18 executives to whom work-family managers report. The research established that the appointment of work-family managers is usually an outgrowth of needs assessment and program development, the primary responsibilities of the job are programmatic (issues analysis, policy design, and program implementation), the primary customers of work-family managers are management and employees, and the job may be structured as a full- or part-time position. Incumbents in the position have diverse educational and job experiences; however, management experience predominates as a qualifying criterion, and strong communication and interpersonal skills are required for the influencing, negotiating, and spokesperson aspects of the job. The number of work-family managers will likely increase in the next few years, and their responsibilities will likely shift from program development to organizational development. (Appended are job descriptions for work-family management positions at four U.S. corporations.) (MN)

office on the go : Lo & Sons
This weekend we were in Minneapolis for a wedding. I love getting to travel for my job, but even on the go, I have to stay on top of my emails + editing! This Lo & Sons bag has made my life 100 x easier. It has pockets + compartments for everything but its still sleek / skinny. It's the one work bag I've found that actually fits my computer AND camera comfortably. My favorite part is the way it slides onto my carry on luggage, so my shoulder isn't weighed down while we go through the airport! I've tried what feels like 100 different work bags in search of the perfect one, and this is it! <3
My on-the-go office essentials are shown up top: camera, computer, hard-drive, SD cards, three note pads, one planner, sudio headphones, (and not pictured) my computer charger. All of the above (+ a few more items) fit in my bag with no problem.
Another little thing I love about this bag is the "shoe pocket" or in my case, a lens pocket :)
You can get one of your own right here. <3

A Study of the Non-Standard English of Negro and Puerto Rican Speakers in New York City. Volume I: Phonological and Grammatical Analysis.
Labov, William; And Others
This study investigates the structural and functional differences between the non-standard Negro English of northern ghetto areas (NNE) and standard English (SE). The major field work was done in Central Harlem with (1) a geographically random sample of 50 pre-adolescent speakers in Vacation Day Camps, (2) six pre-adolescent and adolescent peer groups in Harlem, studied in individual interviews and group sessions, and (3) a random sample of 100 adults, in a middle-class area and two working-class areas. The linguistic analysis in this volume shows NNE related to SE by differences in low-level rules which have marked effects on surface structure. The -ed suffix, for example, is affected by rules of consonant cluster simplification; systematic variation of such clusters regularly differentiates past tense clusters from stem clusters, and also registers the strong effect of a following vowel in preserving the cluster. NNE is found to have no third singular -s or possessive suffix, but to have an intact plural -s. The absence of the copula is considered the result of regular phonological rules which remove single consonants remaining after contraction. A NNE negative concord rule distributes the underlying negative particle more consistently and to a wider range of environments than in white non-standard English. Repetition tests showed that many NNE speakers understand both NNE and SE forms but produce NNE forms. See AL 001 822 for Volume II. (Author/JD)

The just-risen sun shines through some palm fronds which creates a soft, smokey feel to the image as well as the doubling of some of the lines noticeable on the bell strings.

Here's a re-processed version of the original flower shadow, but this time a lot darker and also a bit warmer. There's something about this dark, moody picture that I really like.

Hi Everyone, I sure hope someone can help me out here. A while ago my motherboard stopped working, after 14 months in my new XP Pro machine. With less and less XP support these days, I had installed Win 7 on a new hard drive, prior to this incident, so I could get used to it and slowly...

text: 9-26-16 Posted on September 26, 2016 16:40 IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (9-26-16) "Promoting education based athletics in Indiana" An NFL line coach was reminiscing about a former player and how he was the most coachable athlete he'd ever encountered. Howard Mudd, formerly of the Indianapolis Colts, said "he was the kind of player that was so coachable that you better not tell him the wrong thing because he's gonna do exactly what you tell him." No doubt that coaches respect this kind of athlete. Doing what a coach wants and expects out of you can go a long way in determining your playing time and your value to the team. Can your coach count on you? If you can answer "yes", then you more than likely fall in the category of being coachable! All content property of Billy Shepherd Sports Inc.

It is also our mission to help local charities. We also have many hand's on fun and educational programs for children.
The SoKY Marketplace provides a welcoming venue for visitors and locals alike to shop directly from Kentucky farmers and artisans in the city's historic downtown. This fun-filled festive experience is offered April through October under the newly constructed SoKY Marketplace Pavilion located behind SKYPAC and across the street from the Hot Rods ballpark.

The Methow Conservancy has worked with willing local landowners since 1996 to permanently protect nearly 1,700 acres of irrigated farmland and another 1,700 acres of open rangeland in the Methow from Pateros to Mazama.
In recent years, however, we have heard increasingly from our community that protecting farmland from development may not be enough to ensure a vibrant, viable future for our farmers and farming landscape. We recently created an Agricultural Program, with the intent of better understanding the needs of our local farms and ranches, and with the hope to explore ways in which the Methow Conservancy can offer meaningful support to our farming community.
Here are just a few of the ways we will be supporting local farms in 2017:
Online Directory of Active Methow Farms
Looking for ways to source more farm-grown products? Check out this webpage with a comprehensive list of active Methow farms, whose products are available through a variety of retail outlets, or directly off the farm. Product offerings are delicious and diverse: including local meats, eggs, honey, grains, veggies, fruits, fiber, milk, cheese, and a variety of value-added products.
Matchmaking Methow Farmers and Landowners
Access to affordable farmland in the Methow Valley is a struggle for our local farmers. And like most challenges, our producers tackle this one creatively. Many of our Methow farmers and ranchers don't aspire to own all of the land they work. Instead, they often own a core farmstead, reaching out from there and creating a patchwork of formal or informal lease arrangements on lands nearby.
We see the real and tangible opportunity to help our local farmers expand and strengthen their patchworks of working land. We have begun creating a database of willing landowners who would like to explore the possibility of actively supporting a local farmer and strengthening our valley's foodshed. If you are such a landowner, we encourage you to follow this link or to contact Alyssa directly at email@example.com.
Tailored Workshops for Farmers
We are working to create ongoing opportunities for Methow Valley farmers to access farm-specific resources and technical expertise. To date, we have organized intimate workshops about on-farm conservation resources, soil fertility, and direct marketing. We look forward to working closely with local producers to develop high-quality and highly-relevant workshop content in the future.

It is located just outside of the busy tourist areas whilst being only a two minute drive to the beautiful Emerald Coast's white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and eight miles from Destin. There are two large free-form pools to enjoy, grilling stations and beautiful grounds for relaxing.
Our unit, A306, is Pet friendly and is located on the third floor of the popular 'A' building within Pirates Bay. The spectacular views of the Santa Rosa Sound, the private marina, gulf of Mexico and the wonderful sunsets are stunning. Pirates Bay is truly a unique resort, which offers a quiet getaway from normal life.
Our unit has recently been completely refurbished to a very high standard, with all new furniture and equipment. Perfect for a small family of four or a couple. There is a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa. Everything has been provided for short or long term stays including a kitchenette with a small 2 burner glass stove, microwave and full size refrigerator; note there is no oven. There is a 40" LED TV with cable/HBO, DVD player, free high speed Wi-Fi, tea/coffee (Keurig) making facilities and a full ensuite bathroom.
The views from the private 3rd floor balcony are one of the great features for a relaxing waterfront stay. Enjoy the two seat bistro set and watch the boats on the Intracoastal Waterway while enjoying a cold drink.
There are two large pools to cool down in or simply lounge around the edge and soak up the sunshine.
A picnic and grilling area is available for guest use. Two grilling stations and two table sets are waiting for a relaxing BBQ whilst watching the boats come and go in the private marina.
Stroll along the marina or take a fishing pole down to the docks and catch some fish (please see local regulations for fishing). There are grouper, mullet, sea trout, sting ray and flounder year round (especially during the summer months).
We have a 36 foot boat slip available to rent for "additional fees" and subject to availability. Please contact us for rates and availability. There are two free boat ramps available for use at Liza Jackson Park, just 1 mile east down the road. Our slip is 6.5 miles from Crab Island by boat to the east and less than two miles to secluded islands to the west.
Bring your own boat or rent one from the the nearby marinas.
Note: All slip renters must have proof of valid boat registration and liability insurance of $300,000 minimum to use the marina. Please contact us for more information and the additional rates for use of the boat slip.
The resort has an elevator, guest laundry facilities, ice and vending machines and free parking.
Please let us know if you need to use the sleeper sofa when booking so that we can ensure bedding is provided.

I slept horribly the night before, like only got an hour of sleep, so when my alarm went off at 7:30 I didn't even felt like I had slept yet! I got up and went to get my hair done. After I got done, I met Niki and the boys out shopping. I had to get some stuff for Niki's supposed-to-be-surprise birthday party tomorrow but I had to wait till she left before I could do it. My friend Andrea and I ran up to the hospital to see our friend Laryssa's new baby.

Proud Big Sister Tenley Brooke
I was running on 1 hour of sleep and I was barely making it!! I got home at some point and watched some tv then crashed and slept till 10:30 the next morning!!
I got up and started getting things for Niki's party together. I was hoping to get things together early so I could go lay out in her pool for a little bit. I only got to lay in the pool for about 30 minutes before the clouds came and I went in. I got everything ready that I could then it was time for me to get ready. She got home and got ready and then people started getting there. Her husband came out and said surprise then we finally told her that we had tried to plan a surprise party for her but she had made plans of her own and kinda messed up the surprise party....I guess it was the thought that counted anyways!! I had ordered her gift on Thursday and paid for 1 day shipping but since I ordered it late on Thursday it wasn't processed until Friday and the one day shipping was only on business days so it wouldn't even get here till Monday.....I was not happy!! All well, it's the thought that counts right?!?
Happy Birthday BFF!!!
Ryker loves his aunt KoKo!!
Mama Joni, Brittany, Crissy, Niki, Me, Kristen & Rachel
The party was a success for the most part, no it wasn't a surprise but her friends were all together and we had a good time!!
I got up early and got ready for my friend Anne's shower. I met Danielle so we could ride together the rest of the way. We talked the whole way there of course!

Poor Sadie Mae was over the picture taking by this point!
Once the shower was over, Danielle and I headed back and got stuck in traffic for an hour...we went 2 miles!! I got home and then went to Joni's for Niki's birthday dinner. She had grilled and then we had cake and home made ice cream and sugar cookies!! It was so good!!
After the weekend of bad food, this week needs to be the time to get back on the workout wagon and eating better!!

Durham Ranch in St. Helena, Calif., is a wonderfully versatile Napa Valley wedding venue. The crisp-white walls and vaulted ceilings serve as a blank canvas, so each couple marrying there can easily put their own unique stamp on the space. To illustrate just how versatile the venue is, we've found six very different ways to utilize the space for your wedding reception.
Reception #1: Suspended Greenery Chandeliers (above)
Create some major "wow" factor by hanging large chandeliers of fresh greenery above the reception tables.
Photo: [Belathee Photography](http://www.belathee.com/)
Reception #2: Crisp Whites
When in doubt, go with classic white blooms with a touch of fresh greenery, like these square-shaped peony centerpieces accented with rosemary sprigs and olive branches.
Photo: [Got Light](http://www.got-light.com/)
Reception #3: Modern Geometric
Your guests will get a kick out of these unusual pendant lights suspended above the dinner tables.
Photo: [Milou and Olin Photography](http://www.milouandolin.com/)
Reception #4: Rustic
Beautiful wood dinner tables are too pretty to cover up with linens! Simply add wood slat chairs and string lights and you've got the perfect rustic-yet-elegant celebration.

Reception #5: Elegant & Unexpected
Suspended above the dinner tables were pendant lights made of repurposed galvanized beverage tubs.
Photo: [Our Labor of Love](http://ourlaboroflove.com/)
Reception #6: Whimsical
This couple chose long wooden farm tables paired with two types of bentwood chairs; the custom-made table runners were screenprinted with different whimsical illustrations, which served as the table "numbers."

Honestly, I have been feeling completely burnt out from all my adventures on this last part of my journey.
However, it never stops me from recharging with good friends and tacos.
Celebrated Taco Tuesday today at hipster joint "La Perla".
Some kick ass tacos makes me happy. So glad I live in San Diego where tacos are life.

Birthday Look I'm 18!!!!! It feels very nice but at the same time a bit scary! I wouldn't say that I feel like 18, more like 15 or something haha!
I wore this dress at my birthday party with my family, relatives and my boyfriend and I love it so much and my grandma who loves fashion like me (almost more than me!) gave me so many comments about how good I looked in it. So sweet! I'm in love with the fabric and I love how flattering it is in the wind. The color is my favorite too so this is like the perfect dress! I bought it in Amsterdam in the same store as the white midi skirt I showed you here on the blog last week.
I had a wonderful birthday and I'm so thankful for everything in my life and all the people I have around me. They all mean so much for me and I don't know what I would do without them. I spend the three following days with my boyfriend and it was so lovely and I have had the best start of my "adult life" ever! <3

Cinderella 2015
I have always enjoyed watching Disney princess movies. My personal favorite princess has always been Cinderella, every since I was little. I watched the movie every time I visited my Grandparents in the States, I had my own Cinderella dress, I just loved her!
It has been a long time since Disney first released Cinderella in 1950, hasn't it?? Well, now they are releasing it again, but this time it isn't animated! Introducing..... Drum roll please.....
Yes!! Disney is re-making Cinderella, this time with actors, instead of animation. And oh my heavens, am I ever excited!! I haven't been this excited about a movie in a very long time.
I have really loved many of Disney's non animated movies; Pirates of the Caribbean and Secretariat were amazing, and Maleficent is on my must see list. Well, it looks like they are going to continue their line of well made movies with Cinderella. It looks phenomenal, the acting, the sets, everything! And good grief, it's the story of Cinderella! It would be difficult to go wrong with that story. So I am now counting down the days till March when we can go see Cinderella! -Abigail

|There is a serenity and a peace to farming which mixes well with writing.
I think I have the answer to why a lot of writers are also farmers of one thing or another. (This includes being vintners) Farming can be something which can be done in solitude, and since a huge amount of farming is done between four am and nine am, leaving a lot of time later in the day for writing. In addition, doing mindless hard work of some kind is very helpful in terms of organizing writing. There is also a rhythm and a structure to gardening or farming which is helpful in terms of providing a framework to a writer who sometimes does not benefit from such large blocks of unstructured time,which could be used for nothing more than procrastination.
I used to wonder why people continued farming when it was such hard work and when some years it yielded so little money. I understand now. Small scale farming allows time for writing and other pursuits later in the day. It opens your family to an entire group of farming culture, which is indeed a culture of its own. There is peace and tranquility in the satisfaction of working with God to produce a sustainable product. It's not that God needs us to do this, it's that we share in the stewardship of growing or breeding something, and in this small way, we become part of the tapestry of producing a natural product.
All this said, I am an abyssmal farmer. I lose more money farming than anything else. However, I have a routine, some wonderful farming friends, and I gain many things from the endeavor itself. We grow a variety of trees including royal paulonia. We grow pears, including the Asian variety. We grow apples. We grow blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi and grapes. Cherry trees, peaches and plums should be coming in the next couple of years. The trees were long since planted but we have needed them to be well established before culling the early fruits, as the trees were not yet ready to sustain the weight of maturing fruits. We keep chickens and ducks for eggs. I have a lovely herb garden with mint of all kinds, chives, and a broad range of items. We raise alpacas, miniature horses and dogs. We also have two cats. When the kids were smaller we used to breed rabbits. In the past we have grown vegetables as well. This year I have a variety of lettuces and swiss chard. Most of the food we grow here is for family use. Occasionally we give eggs to a friend, or they provide a ton of squash to us. I might never make money from my farming adventures, but we do eat inadvertently organically from our intent to be as self sufficient as possible, simply because it is a considered and less expensive way to live.
Who knows ? Eventually I might find an animal or a product for which I am financially successful. Eventually perhaps being really good to the animals will pay off.

Global recovery is set to begin, says bank report
The worst is over for the global economy and a recovery is likely to begin later this year, says a bank report released in Toronto on Monday.world Updated: Jun 16, 2009 10:47 IST
The worst is over for the global economy and a recovery is likely to begin later this year, says a bank report released in Toronto on Monday.
The global economic crisis has bottomed out and positive indicators have begun to emerge, said the report by the Royal Bank of Canada, which is the top bank in the country. It said there were encouraging signs for global recovery as the US economy was showing signs of recovery after worst-ever declines in its GDP in the last quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.
Thanks to low interest rates, an easing in credit crunch and Obama's fiscal stimulus package, the US housing market is already showing some stability, it said. This, coupled with rising consumer confidence, hints at a moderate recovery for the US economy by the second half of 2009, the report said.
"The benefits of significant fiscal and monetary policy stimulus (in the US) are starting to have traction," said RBC chief economist Craig Wright. He said, "There is an unprecedented amount of money bolstering the world economy.
"What we will be watching is the impact this spending has on labour markets, as well as household and business confidence. The degree of impact will be a crucial factor in shaping economic recovery."
Though the recession has thrown six million Americans out of jobs - pushing the unemployment rate to a record 9.4 per cent in 25 years, the recent data suggests that this rate has started declining, the report said.
It said home sales in the US are also poised to pick up as affordability improves.
But the most potent indicator of the onset of recovery was that US consumer spending has increased after six months of decline.
This trend will continue in the second half of 2009 because of low interest rates, firmer credit markets and fiscal stimulus, the report said.
About Canada, the report said its economy will shrink by 2.4 per cent this year. With over 360,000 jobs lost nationwide since October, consumer confidence will remain low as the unemployment rate peaks at 9.2 per cent by the end of 2009.
The report forecast that the Canadian dollar, which has rallied 15 percent since March, will hover between 85 to 92 cents US for the remainder of this year.
