With all the jaw-droppingly beautiful and mind-bogglingly delicious vegan food out there, you never need to feel like you're missing out on anything by going vegan. Below, in no particular order, are my favorite 5 vegan cooking resources. If they were books, they'd be completely worn out by now. Vegan for the win!
Minimalist Baker
This blog is simply awesome. The only problem is that there are just too many recipes on it that I can't wait to try!
My partner is a chocolate fiend – me, not so much – so I was in uncharted territory when I was searching for a vegan brownie recipe. There are very few other cooks out there who I trust enough to lead me down the path of Black Bean Brownies. They were awesome, like every other recipe I've tried from this blog!
Next on my list? I'm excited to try the Pumpkin Cornbread Waffles! And the Sun-Dried Tomato Chickpea Burgers! And…I'd better just stop now.
Oh She Glows
For like 6 months, this was pretty much the only vegan cooking blog I used. It had everything I needed, and I never failed to find an utterly delicious recipe here.
Plus, there are several recipes that make great impressions on non-vegans for dinner parties, like these seriously amazing Next Level Vegan Enchiladas. Wow! Or these Jumbo Stuffed Shells, which I made for my partner's birthday last year, to everyone's delight.
My favorite recipe, though, hands-down, is Our Perfect Veggie Burger. This is dinner every Friday night in my house. The name doesn't lie. They are actually perfect.
the Vegan Corner
The Vegan Corner is a more recent discovery for me. I was looking for options to replace cooking cream in pasta dishes. The onion cream was one I'd never encountered before, and it was just thing I needed!
The thing I really like about this website, aside from having so many simple but fabulous dishes, is that they include not only the usual nutritional information, but also the caloric breakdown of the dish.
As you can see in the image (Linguine with pepper & leek cream), they also have video tutorials for many of their recipes – helpful for less experienced cooks.
the Kitchn
Loads of vegan recipes is just the beginning at the Kitchn.
They are also well-known for their great how-to posts and surprising(ly awesome) ideas. What first brought me to them was 5 Ways to Prepare Tempeh. I really needed this advice as a new vegan!
But you don't have to take my word for it – try out something from 17 of the Most Delicious Vegan Recipes We Know.
Post Punk Kitchen
To me, PPK screams comfort food, and no wonder – there are 5 different vegan mac & cheese recipes to sample from!
- Roasted red pepper mac & cheese
- Chipotle mac & cheese with roasted brussels sprouts
- BLT mac & cheeze
- Sunflower mac
- Mac & shews (I'm particularly intrigued by the sauerkraut in this recipe!)
And I know that, as soon as autumn hits, I'm going to be craving this Mushroom Hot Pot.
One more thing. I'm just going to shamelessly plug my own food blog. In fact, it's not meant to show you beautiful food or inventive vegan recipes, so, in that sense, it doesn't compete at all with the 5 above, but has a completely different purpose. It's meant to be a resource for people who are interested in following Dr. Michael Greger's evidence-based advice on how to eat on a daily basis for optimum health. He developed a "Daily Dozen" checklist of what we should try to eat every day, and my goal with Eat like every bite counts is to create daily meal plans that check off every single box. When I use recipes like our perfect veggie burger, I calculate how many boxes you can check (you can see that particular breakdown here). If you'd like to find out how a particular recipe fits into Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen, let me know. I'll see what I can do!

One thing that many people seem to miss is that there's a network limitation regarding how poor WAN link you can have to a remote office or site.
Scenario: You have a primary DPM server protecting your production environment. You also have a remote site that is great for offsite replication to a secondary DPM server. However, there's a limit regarding how poor wan link you can have between those two sites. If the scenario fits your design you must have a WAN link higher than 512 kb.

I applaud the fact that the Los Angeles Times is keeping readers informed about the current debate concerning the proposal to ban smoking on U.S. commercial airline flights ("A Last Gasp for Smokers on Airliners" by Paul Dean, Aug. 2).
I was dismayed, however, to find that the story did not include important information about the issue that I believe you and your readers will find interesting.
Four studies of environmental tobacco smoke on airlines have been conducted during the last 16 years: a 1971 report from the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Health Education and Welfare and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health; a 1983 study by a team from San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center; a 1984 study by Japanese researchers; and a 1985-'87 study by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. scientists.
All four studies have concluded that the environmental tobacco smoke levels during airline flights are extremely low.
The Reynolds Tobacco study, which was conducted on 75 flights of Boeing 727 and 737 aircraft, has been accepted for publication in Environmental Science and Technology, a journal of the American Chemical Society that publishes studies only after they have been reviewed by independent scientists with expertise in the subject matter.

Sometimes you want to customize titles or even hide titles in Tableau. When shown on a dashboard, titles will always appear, even when you filter out all the data in the view:
Notice how the title stays, even when all the data is filtered and the view isn't drawn. This can be unsightly, especially in dashboards where I want to guide the user through some exploration. Who wants to see titles of things that aren't meant to be seen until you take an action?
1. Create a calculated field with hard-coded string:
I used the aggregation of MIN here to force it to be an aggregation to avoid it interfering with table calcs. (I also suspect that this is would be more performant than a row-level calculation in most cases, but I'm not sure. If you know, please leave a comment…)
2. Place the resulting calculated field on Columns to give you a custom "title" at the top of the view.
3. On the dashboard, you can hide the real title so that everything disappears when there is no data:
That's not really a "title" it's just a column header with some formatting. Here are the steps I took to get it to look like a title:
And now, the title is hidden when the view has no data!
That's it for this Tableau tip. There'll be more soon. Subscribe to keep up-to-date!
Handy tip! Coincidentally, this also lets me dynamically incorporate parameter selections in the title.
This is a great tip! I will definitely use this one in dashboards where I have 'actions' and have hidden data until someone clicks to filter. I always hide the title because I don't want to see it if there's no data showing.
Found this by searching "Tableau Title None" in Google. AWESOME tip – Lets me hide the title if the worksheet itself is hidden (such as in a dashboard where multiple panels can be shown or hidden individually) *and* show parameter choices in the tile also (as Tim Hart mentions). Cheers!!
Thank you Very Much
[…] Create titles for views. Just double click a space on Columns type the title inside quotes and do some formatting. Why would you do this? Check out this post. […]
Very helpful, to make the dashboard look neat.

Danny Lloyd has taken the first steps to proving his critics wrong.
Peterborough United's attacking midfielder scored the first Football League goal of his career in his full Football League debut as Posh fought out a 2-2 League One draw with AFC Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow yesterday (November 12).
The 25 year-old made a big leap in standard in the summer after 29 goals for Stockport County in the National North Division led to a place with a League One club eyeing up promotion to the Championship.
It's taken a while for Lloyd to make an impact, but the man-of-the-match prize from Sky TV, who broadcast the Wimbledon game live, now sits proudly on his mantelpiece.
"I've had to be patient and wait for my chance," Lloyd admitted after the game. "But I can tick one of my dreams off after starting a Football League match and I can tick another one off after scoring my first goal.
"I came here to play games and to prove people wrong. There are people in non-league football who reckoned I wouldn't make it in the Football League so I want to show I can.
"Obviously there are things for me to work on. I played further forward at Wimbledon than I'm used to and I was solid and worked hard. I wasn't as good as I can be quality-wise, but I battled away.
"I got my reward for working hard in training and playing well in the reserve team games. I felt I did okay at Cambridge last week in the first team as well, but I can do better.
"I'm happy to play anywhere, but any forward position that involves me running at defenders and being creative suits me. I'd love to start banging the goals in for the club.
"I'll take yesterday's goal. Obviously I'm not the biggest, but Marcus Maddison's set piece delivery is usually very good so I gambled at the near post and it definitely went into the net off my head. I was pleased Sky gave me the goal, but it took an age for the ball to go in off the far post. The manager just told me to compete as best I can in the opposition penalty area and it came off
"My celebration was mad again. I have got a goal celebration, but I got caught up in the moment and didn't use it. I'm sure I'll get it out next time.
"We were disappointed we didn't win the game at Wimbledon though. We created some decent chances in the second half and we were resolute defensively apart from a couple of slit second lapses in concentration.
"We battled and grafted and I am sure the consistency required to win games will be along soon. We're not far off the play-offs."
Lloyd can expect to keep his place for Wednesday's (November 15) FA Cup first round replay at Tranmere, another amtch to be televised live, this time by BT Sport.
"Prenton Park is not a nice place to go," Lloyd added. "I played there a couple of times when I was younger and their fans get right behind the team.
"The ground is about three miles from my home so I might pop into mum's for a cup of tea."

If you haven't heard, we had a baby girl! Her name is Evelyn Anne and we are so crazy in love. I have always wanted a little girl. So when Ryan said "It's a girl" and they placed her on my chest my heart almost burst. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved a little boy. Ryan and I had this pact that if we didn't have a girl in our first or second attempts that we would try for a third (and he only wanted two kids). So I think we were both ecstatic to meet our little Evie. With that said, I thought it would be fun to change up our nursery a bit. I mean… it's what I do for a living and now that we know the gender I could finally go wild with some girly decor.
If you know me, you'd know I'm a girly girl. Always have been. Loved ballet, playing with dolls, barbies, slumber parties, nail polish you name it. In fact, when I was 12 I travelled with the Canadian Ballet Ensemble to Kiev to perform with the National Kiev Ballet. Pretty cool right? As you can imagine, I've been pretty excited to unleash this girly-ness on my little girl. There aren't enough bows and headbands in the world right now. I'm bringing you guys along for my mini nursery makeover. Here's my plan to revamp the space. I'm listing 5 things that will take it from gender neutral to uber girly.
- A new rug. Fun tip: This is such a great way to add colour and pattern to any space. The best part? If you want to change things up in a year you can just change up your rug. For me, I found this amazing Lorena Canals rug that I hope to layer on top of the jute rug that's in the nursery now. I love that this will add quite a bit of pink to the space without being over powering.
- Pink blankets. Already, I've learned that you can never have too many baby blankets. I wrap Evie up in these daily and I find they really help her fall asleep in my arms. Why not add some colour and use them as decor as well? I love draping blankets on the side of her crib. Now Evie doesn't sleep in her crib just yet so these are purely for decor. It is important however, not to have blankets in or draping on the side of your crib when your child sleeps. When Karin and I designed the showroom for Nestled I fell in love with this blanket from Lolli Living. It's so soft and cozy and I'm so excited to finally have it for myself (I mean Evie…). It's nice to have a bit of pattern and a solid as well so I've chosen this blanket to balance things out. Like I said, you can never have too many throw blankets.
- Fun storage. I've been eyeing these pint size bins for the longest time and now I have the perfect excuse to buy them. We used to keep our diapering supplies in the top drawer of Evie's dresser but I find there are just a few items I'd like to keep out. With that said, I don't want to 'see' them per say. I'd love to use at least one of the bin's from Petite Pehr so that our wipes and diaper cream are accessible but out of sight. I also think they'll be great for all of the bows and headbands I've started collecting :). Of course, I'm going for the pink pom poms for a splash of pink ontop of the dresser.
- A pink crib sheet. This is obviously a no brainer. Such a fantastic way to add some colour and pattern to your nursery. The best part is that you don't have to settle on just one. Why not grab a few different crib sheets so that you can change things up when you need to wash them (and trust me… you'll be washing these often). I decided on this crib sheet from Lolli Living. It's the perfect amount of pink and pattern for our space.
- A feature wall! I've been wanting to create a feature wall in the nursery for awhile now. I was actually thinking of painting little dots all over one wall and am still debating if I should do it actually. I'm the kind of person that likes to change things up. To be honest, the nursery might look very different in just a few months time. Of course, now that we have a girl I really wanted to make things pretty. This year floral murals have been insanely popular (you can read my post on that here) and I definitely wanted to jump on the bandwagon. To be honest, I found several floral wallpapers that I LOVED. I decided on one from Rocky Mountain Decals that again, isn't too much pink. It has a beautiful blend of pink tones and has a touch of green (which I love). I think this will make the most impact for our nursery transformation.
Well that's a wrap! Hope you liked my 5 items that will transform our nursery from gender neutral to uber girly. Do you know what you're having? Will you change your nursery after you find out? Let me know in the comments below.
*Sale Valid until January 21, 2018

Ebix Takes Leadership Position in Digital Payments Market in India via Acquisition of 80% Stake in Fast-Growing ItzCashPicture Gallery, Software Wednesday, 24. May 2017
JOHNS CREEK, GA — (Marketwired) — 05/24/17 — Ebix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBIX), a leading international supplier of On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance, financial, e-governance and healthcare industries, today announced that it has entered into a joint venture with India-based Essel Group, while acquiring an 80% stake in ItzCash, India–s leading payment solutions Exchange. ItzCash is recognized as a leader in the prepaid cards and bill payments space in India, besides being the only profitable payments solutions provider out of all its peers, while having grown at a CAGR of 35% over the last 3 years. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Ebix earnings within the next 6 to 9 months.
Under the terms of the agreement, ItzCash was valued at a total enterprise value of approximately $150 million. Accordingly, Ebix acquired an 80 percent stake in ItzCash for $120 million including upfront cash of $76 million and a contingent earn out of up to $44 million payable over a period of 3 years from closing. The closing date of the transaction was May 23, 2017. The Company funded the transaction using internal cash reserves from its Indian and Singapore subsidiaries.
A leading driving force in the digitization of cash across India, ItzCash is a Financial Exchange for payment solutions that connects 75+ million consumers and 1,500+ corporate partners on its integrated payments solutions superhighway. With an Omni-channel strategy that encompasses a distribution network of 75,000+ physical retail outlets, the Company today is recognized as a leader in the prepaid cards and bill payments space. ItzCash processes approximately 600,000 transactions per day and approximately $2 Billion in annual payment volume, with an industry leading transaction success rate of 99%.
After a detailed due diligence and transaction support led by EY, Ebix decided to retain the entire management team led by the Managing Director of ItzCash Naveen Surya. With Ravi Singh as Chief Business Officer, Dayton Creado as CTO, and Bhavik Vasa as Chief Growth Officer leading the Company–s growth initiatives across multiple channels, the Ebix – Essel group joint venture intends to empower this highly experienced trio of seasoned senior executives, under the leadership of Naveen, to power ItzCash to become India–s largest Financial Exchange, with integrated offerings for insurance, healthcare and telemedicine. Naveen Surya also serves as the Chairperson for the Payment Council of India, an industry association for non-bank payment entities.
With a retail distribution network of 75,000+ distribution outlets spread across 3,000 cities in the country, ItzCash can address the needs of consumers in far flung areas that no other peer company has been able to reach. This assumes specific importance considering that more than 80% of transactions in the country are still cash based and only 53 urban cities have a population of more than one million people.
ItzCash has the most expansive spectrum of payment solutions in the country, targeted at the Retail, Government, Campus and Corporate sectors.
ItzCash retail offerings include — Shopping, Utility bill payment, Travel bookings, Cinema bookings, Prepaid gift cards, money remittance, insurance premium payment, property tax payment, Direct to Home (DTH) Cable & Satellite and Mobile payments etc.
ItzCash Corporate, Campus and Government solutions include — Corporate gifting, cash management, purchasing, Travel bookings, incentives & awards, payroll & expense, Government benefits and a wide variety of solutions for the Campus, Health and Club sector.

The Company is a leader in the utility payment space serving as a payment exchange for large utility providers like BSES, Tata Power, NDPL, Reliance Energy and Mahanagar Gas etc.
The Company–s clients in the travel booking area include leading players like IRCTC, Yatra.com, makemytrip.com, redbus.in, Thomas Cook, Cleartrip and ibibo etc.
The Company has a similar portfolio of blue-chip clients in other sectors like DTH, mobile, telecom, money remittance, shopping and entertainment etc.
Having deployed 25,000 point of sale machines in the last 5 months, the Company plans to deploy 100,000 point of sale wireless machines across the country coupled with its 75,000+ strong distribution network, providing a unique ability to serve as ATM outlets for payment withdrawal in small cities and rural areas where there is a paucity of ATMs.
The acquisition of ItzCash by Ebix brings together complementary functionalities and the opportunity to forge a unique integrated Exchange to process financial, insurance and healthcare transactions for India–s 1.3 billion population. With approximately 65% of its population below the age of 35, India represents the world–s youngest and most tech-savvy market.
Ebix–s telemedicine, world leading health content exchanges, continuing education and health & wellness solutions can be offered now in an integrated manner, creating a healthcare offering that could be accessed by millions of consumers, 1,500+ corporate partners through an online super highway and a brick & mortar set up of 75,000+ distribution outlets.
ItzCash will provide insurance carriers and brokers a gateway to reach India–s vast population with new integrated insurance and finance offerings.
A world-class service and support organization benefiting from the best practices and infrastructure investments of both companies.
Cross-selling opportunities to sell each other–s complementary services to existing clients of the two companies.
An opportunity to expand the ItzCash technology and services to markets like Australia and Brazil where Ebix has a strong distribution capability.
"With the youngest tech-savvy society, the largest middle class, a 1.3 billion population, a country committed to going digital and a growth rate of 7% plus, India is an emerging economic superpower today. We are big believers in the power of exchanges and thus have been keen to take an early position in India in terms of powering financial and insurance exchanges," said Ebix Chairman, President and CEO Robin Raina. "In ItzCash, we found attributes that none of their peers had — market penetration across 3000 cities, 75,000+ brick & mortar distribution outlets, a CAGR of approximately 35% and the only company who was profitable amongst all its peers. With one of India–s most prominent business houses, the Essel Group deciding to align their interests with Ebix, the decision to invest in ItzCash became easy for us."
Robin added, "We believe that the synergies between Ebix and ItzCash are at multiple levels and the ItzCash exchange when complemented with Ebix–s portfolio of insurance & healthcare services along with our international scale, will set the foundations of a very powerful and scalable business opportunity."
ItzCash Managing Director Naveen Surya said, "We are thrilled to be associated with a world-leading exchange like Ebix and the opportunities that Ebix–s new investment in ItzCash offers us. This is a testament to our belief and roadmap for growth to deliver comprehensive financial services across emerging India. Having established our leadership across Payments, Remittances and Corporate Solutions already, we will deepen our foray now in the areas of credit, insurance, healthcare. We will continue to invest in our distribution network and technology, providing a fully integrated Financial Services Exchange."
"Ebix–s global reach and operations opens International expansion opportunities for ItzCash. We are keen to replicate our proven model, technology platform and operating experience to other emerging markets for financial services," added Naveen Surya.
A leading international supplier of On-Demand software and E-commerce services to the insurance, financial, e-governance and healthcare industries, Ebix, Inc. provides end-to-end on-Demand solutions ranging from infrastructure exchanges, front end & back end enterprise systems, outsourced administrative & custom software development solutions, and risk compliance solutions for various entities involved in these industries.

Our dream of a self-guided Loire Valley bike trip finally becomes a reality.
To simplify planning, Macs Adventure develops our Chateaux and Gardens itinerary. With input from us, family-run lodgings, breakfasts, dinners, rental bicycles, helmets, maps and luggage transfers are all arranged. And were off!
Based in historic towns about 200-kilometers southwest of Paris, we explore in and around Blois, Amboise and Tours. Three nights in each provides ample time for exploration and reconnoitering. And two-wheeling it across the Loire Valleys flat terrain proves exhilarating!
Daily pedals along a well-marked network of pathways introduce rural French landscapes, including quaint hamlets with stone churches and little boulangeries offering fresh picnic snacks. Our routes regularly skirt barley fields, pastures and small vineyards known for producing sweet white and sparkling wines. Sometimes workers merrily wave us onward.
A mix of sunshine, moderate temperatures and natural beauty prompts photo frenzies and spontaneous wine tastings. Best of all are unhurried visits to elegant country palaces built long ago by an indulgent, itinerant royalty. One such grandiose house located outside Tours, the Chateau de Villandry also features authentic 16th century gardens.
Cycling through the city looks straightforward on our map; signage marks the way. Distracted, however, by morning traffic, bustling pedestrians and fellow cyclists, a crucial marker gets overlooked. We veer kilometers off track, until a friendly rider escorts us back to the missed junction.
Once on the Loire à Vélo trail, we sail easily on under arcades of trees along the Cher, a scenic tributary of the Loire. Birdsong serenades us through lush riverside forests. Sheep graze in meadows sloping to the waters edge. Greenery frames a distant village. Later crossing its stone bridge, we admire one fishermans lucky catch.
Soon securing our bicycles in Villandrys hedged bike lot, we explore one of the last grand chateaux built in this World Heritage valley. Photos and engravings explain its evolution from the Middle Ages to the present day.
Retaining the foundations and stone tower of a medieval fortress, Finance Minister to King Francois I Jean le Breton built Villandry in 1536. Of note, rival monarchs Henry VIII of England and Francois I met privately several times in its 12th century keep, forging an unexpected friendship.
Much later, the Marquis of Castellane updated the chateau, installing 18th century comforts, indoor water closets included. Silk-upholstered furnishings fill gracious, restored rooms; mullioned windows frame unique garden vistas. Downstairs, terracotta floors, enormous fireplace with roasting spit, rough oak table and polished copper pots maintain the great kitchens rustic flair.
From the ramparts, we marvel at patchworks of sculpted shrubs, multicoloured vegetables and espaliered fruit trees below. Current owners great-grandfather, Joachim Carvallo purchased the estate in 1906. Thoroughly researching, he restored these gardens to former Renaissance glory.
On upper terraces, we stroll alongside the water gardens mirror-like pool accented with clusters of lime trees. Ornamental Italianate statuary and urns highlight arbours and flowerbeds.
The Love Gardens shaped box hedges illustrate aspects of love. Hearts separated by stylized flames depict passion, tender love and broken hearts. Butterfly wings symbolize flighty love; crossed swords, rivalry in tragic love. Across the canal, musical notes, lyres and chandeliers suggest romance.
The decorative kitchen garden becomes our favorite. Here, profusions of flowers and vegetables form elaborate checkerboards of colour. Monks in medieval abbeys had adopted this practice of cultivating vegetables in geometrically patterned plots, often crosses. Todays trellised red roses commemorate their early aesthetic labours.
The traditional herb garden brims with aromatic, culinary and medicinal plantings. Signage names plants, identifies usage and provides instructive archaic meanings. For example, marrows denote fertility; pimientos aid indigestion. And cabbage implies spiritual corruption, but cures hangovers!
We learn this strict garden symmetry requires constant care. Of 115, 000 flowers and vegetables planted annually, more than half start in chateau greenhouses. Putting just our box trees end-to-end measures 52 kilometers, one gardener tells us. All need annual pruning! Four gardeners take three months to prune the estates 1,015 lime trees. To maintain garden perfection, restoration and renovation continues throughout the year.
Outside the chateaus walls near Villandrys pretty village, we munch cheese baguettes and decadent pastries at a trailside table. After rolling smoothly back into Tours, odometers show our daytrip totals 44-kilometers return. And as on every evening, regional specialties and luscious wines royally reward this pedal.
Cycling 200 plus kilometers in the Loire Valley enables our up close and personal looks at Frances royal history, glorious gardens and palatial chateaux, culminating with wondrous Chateau de Villandry.

Low Rate Loans in Ripon
The distinction between an unsecured and secure loan, is that with a secured loan the borrower has the danger of losing their home if they fail to keep with repayments. While with an unsecured loan, is where the borrower doesn't have to offer collateral if they fail with repayments. For homeowners in Ripon an unsecured loan may be ideal, as you wouldn't want to risk your home unless needed.
A low rate loan would seem like the ideal solution, if you want to borrow money to keep monthly repayments low, or even to cope with your debt in Ripon. The low rates on loans are generally determined by the latest activity on the loan market in Ripon. Usually it's affected by the Bank of England's current base rate, how available credit is within the sector, and the need for loans. At low rate loans we will try to always advise you of the latest deal on the marketplace in Ripon.
Another way to save cash is to choose a low rate loan with low APR (Annual Percentage Rate). The lower the APR, the more it could save you in Ripon!With low rate loans, you can apply for this type of loan for what you need. You will need to show us some records such as details of your income tax return, or bank statements in Ripon.
There are other things to contemplate when you want a low rate loan in Ripon, such as fixed and variable rates. A loan with a fixed rate would ensure your interest payments stay low. It can include home owner and personal loans. Usually the interest rate could depend on how much you borrow and your credit rating in Ripon. When looking around for a low rate loan which cater to you, also compare the total amount repayable, as this will include everything you have to pay back, charges included.
As with anything, there are some pitfalls you should be aware of. When applying for a loan, see if the lender is also offering PPI (Payment Protection Insurance) along with the loan. Basically it would protect you if something were to happen to you, such as illness or redundancy, and cannot keep on with the repayments in Ripon. Find a quote without having PPI and it will be a lot cheaper. We at low rate loans can help you find the appropriate loan for you.

It all started with my mc of 1.5days on 16th, and the idiotic moronic tester, and my boss and the stupid program I am 'in charge' of...
Email 1 21/11/2006 from boss:
as I've mentioned before, please take ownership and follow-up on the defects on *ur process*. *teamlead* and I cannot be always bugging after you to solve the defects. I know *ur process* may be a big process, but I do not see you putting in the extra effort and initiative effort to get these done.I do not wish to have to 'force' you to do OT to get your work done, we are all professionals and should be doing our due diligence.
Have you also finished ALL your *another process* construction? *yet another process*?
I want to have a face-to-face meeting with you to discuss all these. I will come back some time this week to meet you.
* xxxx * is replaced to "protect" the identity of this shietty company..lmao
See the email liao, I SBDL..somemore I was using vpn to do some work when i was on MC..and she send me this SHIT! Zzzz...so I TRIED to rationally draft a reply..
Sent to bibi...and den~
Email Reply Draft 1 from YY:
Perhaps we have got different working styles to start with.
It is unknown to me on the way things work here for defects is to update daily progress and to constantly bug collegues on their progress on defects, what I perceived was updating the status of defects by updating the pieces of papers passed around from time to time.
Thus I am now in the process of learning to be taking initiative in approaching fellow collegues for their defects updates.
The urgency and deadline of the defects was known to me after you called me on friday
17/11/2006 at around 7pm. Upon your request, I have used vpn to work on the defects through the weekend. My personal perspective of extra effort did not include OT, as on several occasions OTs have been wasted trying to resolve some errors which was due to other collegues making changes without informing the rest. My personal preference would be using vpn to work.
Major problems for *process name* defects faced is trying to get *collegue's name* to help in *technical terms* errors, as he is going in and out of office since
user test started. On my side, the main problem is catering for scenarios which has been just decided upon.
Due to having little knowledge about java and domain knowledge on this project, I rely alot on support from fellow collegues for methods and how-to-do thus I
do take much longer time on solving defects and implementing new stuff to cater for new scenarios.
Right now there is many new issues to resolve and I certainly require much time to understand and work around.
Thank you for your understanding.
As for the meeting, please let me know the time,venue and date.
A helpful collegue said my email was too confrontational and unlike a female subordinate..so he amended my approach and I sent the final copy below..sounds like a SICK LAMB i tell u...
Email 2 from YY to boss :
I apologise that I didnt update you on the defects progress frequently as you preferred, as all along I thought I just needed to update the pieces of paper being passed around. This is because I am not used to such a protocol as it is the first time I am working here. I will talk to *team lead name* about it and ensure I'm informed on how things are done. Therefore I am now in the process of learning to be taking initiative in approaching fellow collegues for their defects updates.
I am aware of the urgency of the defect solving upon your call last friday, but I apologise if I was slow to respond last weekend as I was feeling quite terrible and was on MC. I believe you have high expectations of everyone in *team name* and that I may not have done as much as some, but I have commitments at home, hence I try not to OT unless it is necessary. Normally I will do my work by VPN instead of staying in the office.
Regarding the *process name* progress, due to some new requirements,I am currently working on a new controller that has taken up most of my time for the past few days over other defects. I did not think it was important to update you on this as I have already told *team lead name* about it via phone calls.
The progress is not as fast as I want it to be. One reason is that I am not as proficient in the coding as I hope to be and need much support from other collegues on implementation issues, the other is because *another collegue's name* has some vital parts that needs to be resolved along with mine.
I hope you can understand my problems and the fact that I am keen on finishing my parts. Your advice and criticism is welcomed and I look forward to the meeting.
Thank you for your understanding.
Reply from Boss, Email 3 :
Hi *my name*,
I note and accept your explanation.
As I have mentioned during the interview, it is not going to be easy working in *the moronic project name*, simply because it is an over-run project, thus everything is crucial and urgent, and needs to be done almost immediately. Loads of extra time and effort will be expected to be put in. I have no issue with you working from home. In fact, it is not my style to make my people do OT for the sake of doing OT. I will go by deliverables. When things need to be done by a certain date, I expect each of us to put in the effort to make it happen. In cases when this cannot be done, I always advocate for staff to tell me early, so that we can find a solution together, and not wait till the 11th hour. So while you update *team lead name* and through the pieces of paper, I would also like you to come and talk to me. This is so that I know what is happening / progressing / not progressing.
Everyone of us has personal / family commitment out of office, I do not expect you to 'sell' yourself to *lousy company name* , so if you have any issues, please do come and discuss with me. We will work out a solution together. I cannot accept my staff 'disappearing' without informing me or updating me on the progress of tasks assigned. Take for example last Friday, we had a prior arrangement to meet, but you went on MC without telling me. You did not even reply to my sms. This is a behavior that I cannot accept. Even if you have informed *team lead name*, you should also let me know personally.
Moving forward, I've seen the updates from you these few days. This is good. Keep it up.
One more thing to add: Please try to mingle and talk (not only vis msn) to the team more often. Try to have more human interaction with people around you.
Zzzz what does she mean about human interaction? Bah? I got talk to them what..only when U (<- boss)are not around. I not like those HUA DAN x3 always know how to wayang ok...As for disappearance..o well..i know perfectly what to tell her..its the truth what I dun have her blah dee number..
From YY to boss , Email 4:
Hi *boss name*,
I think there is a need to clarify some matters regarding the 'disappearance' last thursday. I had arrived in office and felt very sick in the stomach, and was going in and out of the toilet since 8.30am. Therefore I missed the first meeting on that morning, and at the subsequent meeting at 11am plus, I left half way as my stomach was churning. While I was still in the toilet, I was informed by jonathan that the meeting had ended, feeling terrible I decided to visit the doctor straightaway to get an MC.
Upon returning to the office from the toilet, I realised the others had left for lunch except *team lead name*, so I informed her that I would be going to the doctor to get MC.
While I was at the doctor at 2pm plus, I got an sms from an unknown number, thinking it was from a collegue I decided to sms *team lead name* again to confirm that I am at the doctor in process of getting an MC. I apologise on the assumption that *team lead name* would have informed you about my whereabouts, and secondly I had lost most phone numbers after upgrading my handphone SIM card to 3G SIM card. But not to worry, I have gotten your number again from *team lead name*.
As for human interaction, personally I feel some coding queries are better communicated via MSN thus I use MSN frequently. Whereas some queries would be clarified easier with a face to face talk, I would take the initiative to do so. Lunching together has enabled me to gel better with fellow collegues too over the months.
Hopefully this email will prevent further misunderstanding.
End of email conversatino although she says she will meet me to talk, when she meet den I update la..now i go feed kitty first

"Very well located. Huge. Very comfortable beds. Appartement clean, but the oven very dirty. Could have a better sofa"
"Large, light, airy flat in a great location in a cool neighbourhood with lots of cafes and restaurants. Good transport connections. Lots of hot water and a good shower. Decor was 'DDR shabby chic'. Check-in was a pain as we had to go and get keys from a friend of the landlord half a mile away, pulling our bags with us, but checkout was great and we were allowed to leave our bags in the flat and pick them up later. The flat is quiet between midnight when the cafe below closes and 4.30am when the first tram rumbles past, so we had to sleep with the windows closed - could have been a problem in hot weather but it wasn't too hot while we were there. Very little supplied in the flat apart from toilet paper and a small amount of washing up liquid. No dishwasher tablets, no cleaning products, no soap or shower gel."
"The apartment is extremely well located nearby with lots of small bars, restaurants and cafes. The street is relatively calm and the mattress are comfortable. Some small negative points to stress nevertheless. The dishes is not the cleanest, it took the clean to use. The second negative point was the difficulty of the owner for the payment of the apartment, we paid him only at the end of stay. The owner is very nice and it allows me to recommend that you take this apartment."
"L'appartement est extrêmement bien situé, proximité avec pleins de petits bars, restos et cafés. Le rue est relativement calme et les matelas sont confortables. Quelques petits points negatifs à souligner néanmoins. La vaisselle n'est pas des plus propre, il a fallu la nettoyer pour l'utiliser. Le deuxième point négatif a été la difficulté de joindre le propriétaire pour le paiement de l'appartement, nous l'avons payé qu'en fin de sejour. Le propriétaire est tout de même très gentil et c'est ce qui me permet de vous recommander de prendre cet appartement."
"This was a delightful apartment and our stay was wonderful. We had our young grandson with us and the owners provided a high chair and crib, making our stay very comfortable with a baby. The apartment is in a great neighborhood with an incredible variety of restaurants and shops literally right out the door. We were within walking distance to major sightseeing stops (Spree River, Reichstag, Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie). And the trams connect with everything if you choose to use them. This was a fantastic place to stay!"
"Check-in was not as heard it. When we contact we were told that we had to retrieve the key elsewhere, our contact person was not prevented. Fortunately it rained but after a long travel day is that downright annoying.. We had to walk a long way with our children and suitcases to a kebab shop on kastanienallee 15 and then again back to the apartment, back and back almost 2 km. ... and find it myself but good. There was no toilet paper in the apartment. That is very spacious and comfortable and situated in a nice neighborhood. The wifi did an outstanding job. The night before we would get the money, the deposit check-out came across someone we didn't have to pay more, we left the keys behind in the apartment. All in all a nice stay but a very nonchalant landlord. Easily earned anyway. That is why we found the price too high. For the price we paid we expected better service. The apartment is only accessible for wheelchairs with assistance, the shower is inaccessible. "
"Het inchecken verliep niet zoals het hoorde. Toen we contact opnamen kregen we te horen dat we de sleutel elders moesten ophalen, onze contactpersoon was helaas verhinderd. Gelukkig regende het niet maar na een lange reisdag is dat ronduit vervelend.. We moesten met onze kinderen en koffers een heel eind lopen naar een kebabzaak op de kastanienallee 15 en daarna weer terug naar het appartement, heen en terug bijna 2 km.... en zoek het zelf maar lekker uit. Er was geen toiletpapier in het appartement. Dat is overigens heel ruim en comfortabel en gelegen in een leuke buurt.De wifi deed het uitstekend. De avond voor we zouden uitchecken kwam iemand het geld ophalen, de borg hoefden we niet meer te betalen, we lieten de sleutel achter in het appartement. Al bij al een leuk verblijf maar een heel nonchalante verhuurder. Makkelijk verdiend toch. Daarom vonden wij de prijs te hoog. Voor de prijs die we betaalden verwachtten we een betere service. Voor rolstoelers is het appartement enkel toegankelijk mits assistentie, de douche is ontoegankelijk. "

"When checking out the owner was convinced that we didn't pay him 200 euro deposit, while that was certain. Felt like he was trying to swindle us. After a lot of discussion he let us go to a friend of him to get the 200 euro back."
"Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear about the misunderstanding between you and the owner. When the €200 damage deposit is taken at Check-in, it is given back at Check-out. We want to thank you again for your review and we hope you enjoyed your stay in Berlin!"

"Lovely apartment in a residential district with lots to do nearby. A 10 minute walk from the U-bahn but we only used it a few times as it's not far to walk into Mitte. Mauer Park Sunday fleamarket is nearby and not to be missed. The Berlin Wall memorial is also close by and really worth going to. We had great meals in the café below and at Momo's - Tibetan dumpling restaurant nearly. The idea was to cook in the apartment to save money - but eating out was really cheap compared to the UK so we didn't need to."
"Thank you for your kind review Sara! We are happy that you have such a good memories!"
"One week prior to arrival reported the, otherwise friendly, apartments manager that there was a double booking and the apartment was not available. He apologized here extended over and offered me an alternative nearby. The alternative had a different comfort than originally requested. Too bad he doesn't via WayToStay communicated. I have still done. Then choose multiple alternatives offered. In the end our journey continued, but with an apartment that does not meet our original aspirations. Good and fast helped by WayToStay! That gives confidence. My confidence in the apartment owners with which WayToStay does business, however, is impaired."
"Een week voor aankomst meldde de, overigens vriendelijke, appartementsmanager dat er sprake was van een dubbele boeking en het appartement niet beschikbaar was. Hij verontschuldigde zich hier uitgebreid over en bood me een alternatief in de buurt. Het alternatief had een ander comfort dan oorspronkelijk gevraagd. Jammer dat hij dat niet via WayToStay communiceerde. Dat heb ik alsnog gedaan. WayToStay heeft vervolgens meerdere alternatieven aangeboden. Uiteindelijk is onze reis doorgegaan, maar met een appartement dat niet aan onze oorspronkelijke wensen voldeed. Goed en snel geholpen door WayToStay! Dat geeft vertrouwen. Mijn vertrouwen in de appartementseigenaren waarmee WayToStay zaken doet, is echter geschaad."
"The apartment was beautiful, very spacey and lovely. The location is excellent location, and the owner is charming."
"The apartment is well. Very little in house, towels, bed linen etc. There is some noise from the bar that there is down. Located in good area for dinner, eat etc. There is no hairdryer, or corkscrews. "
"El apartamento está bien. Muy escaso en ropa de casa, toallas, sábanas etc. Hay un Poco de ruido del bar que hay abajo. Situado en buena zona para ir a cenar , comer etc.. No hay secador, ni sacacorchos . "

Omega Message – December 1987
Mavis M. duCille
The greatest achievement of man on earth is to live Christ, that is really knowing Him. For this purpose was man made – To be His expressed image – "That I might walk in them (and talk) in them."
The devil however, lied to Eve in the garden; man disobeyed and lost the fight against him. Jesus came and opened up a different front for man – "…A true and living way in His blood." The sad thing is that Satan is still lying, because he is a liar and will always lie. He is older and wiser now, and in spite of Calvary's victory over him, he does not quit, and will not, until man takes back or regains that which was lost.
This road of redemption seems a lifetime, but we know that our REDEEMER LIVES, and because He lives, we shall live. The process of change must go from victory to victory, until the final and sudden change. God made man to be a habitation for himself which He will not share with another. For this cause everything must be driven out, so that God can tabernacle within man.
Praise God, that our High Priest has already entered within the veil, opening the way for His Body. He overcame Satan until "…there was no more place found for him." – Total and complete victory over him. The word states in Revelation 12:7 that Michael and his angels fought along with the saints to overcome the devil, and that there was no more place found (in the saints) for him. The devil has to be cast out before Salvation and power can be experienced by us in its fullness.
It is a fact that Satan still finds a place in man, but thank God, we are getting wiser in Christ. (Samson's seven locks grew while he was still grinding at the mill and the Philistines were still having fun). God is strengthening a people so that they can reject the work of the devil in their lives, so that there be no more place found in us for him.
This whole position is equal to the children of Israel tramping around in the wilderness for forty years when they could have entered the promised land a week or two after leaving Egypt.
At Rephidim, Israel received water from the rock. Jesus Christ Himself was that rock which provided life giving water. They journeyed to Sinai, received the law, and broke it in rebellion. Israel chose a golden calf instead of the true and living God who had brought them out of bondage. Man has a very short memory, but many of them were deceived to believe that the calf was a symbol of God, even as today many are worshipping statues of the Queen of heaven (Semiramis), and the gods of Greece for the saints, thinking in their vain imaginations that they are worshipping God.
There is indeed a grievous parallel between the people of Israel in the wilderness and the present day church system. People seem to be the same. God's gift to us should have changed us (and indeed does change us), therefore we have the power to pull ourselves out of the natural conditions which motivate natural men.
