Our team turned out to be awesome, even though we had never practiced together and were about to take on the biggest physical challenge of our lives. We each knew this experience would take teamwork to be successful. In fact, the event stated with pride the challenge was so great as to require participants to work together.
The two men on our team, Myron and Bruce, were in top shape, ready to run long distances or leap up, catch the narrow edge of an eight foot wall with their fingers and pull themselves over using only upper body strength. We three women, myself, Monica, and Allison, were willing to belly crawl under twenty yards of criss-crossed barbed wire, jump from fifteen foot high walls into muddy water, and creep through pitch-dark narrow tunnels, but we were woefully unprepared for upper body challenges – and we knew it. Without a hefty boost we women wouldn't scale the eight foot wall, never mind the twelve foot ones.
For one series of mud and water filled trenches, we had seen videos of participants propelling up and out with a push of hands against muddy embankment. My plan was to find mud ledges low enough to crawl out of each one. Each of us had anticipated this day for months. Our goal was to make it through the course, trying to overcome as many obstacles as we felt able to try. For Monica and I, that meant skipping the two electrified obstacles, since the voltage has a nasty way of causing people to pass out face down in the mud. (Yep, we had seen enough photos to decide against that one.)
Each wanted to test our determination, perseverance, and ability to tackle the twelve mile twenty-two obstacle Tough Mudder course. The guys were far better able to take on the course without the girls, and since they had prepared better for the challenge, I thought they would go ahead and we would see them when we finished. After all, we women knew all along what we needed to do to develop upper body strength – we just hadn't done much about it. As we walked over to the starting area, I said something to Myron about catching up with him at the end. He looked at me surprised and said, "We're sticking together. We're a team." "You're going to stay back with us?" I asked, as gratefulness and possibility began to unfold in my mind. "Yeah, we're in this together," he said. And just like that, I knew we truly were a team.
Myron's words brought a new excitement into the day. He and Bruce weren't concerned with how fast they could make it through the course! Their goal was to make sure we all made it to the finish, with support and encouragement along the way. My tempered expectations for the big day were released into full-scale excitement, as a smile spread across my face. I knew we could clear many more obstacles with the guys determined to stay with the women as a team of five. It was like I'd been given a second chance to do well and I couldn't wait to start!
Off we went, finding ourselves required to climb over a five foot wall before we could line up in the starting corral. Monica, Allison and I were boosted up, while the guys practically jumped over. The starting announcer intensified our excitement with group shouts and promises, and reminded us it was not a race. When he stated there had been many sprains and a few broken bones the day before, Monica said twenty percent of those who start do not finish. "Twenty percent?" I asked, "That's a lot of people in a race this size."
"I know," Monica answered as the countdown began and we turned forward to start. The first belly crawl under barbed wire went smoothly. It was a fun and muddy way to jump right into the adventure of it all. Jogging along in mud and muck we quickly came to the second obstacle, an ice-filled giant tank of water with a wall rising out of it about half way across. Barbed razor wire curled along the top of the wall and arrows pointed down indicating you must go under water to pass beneath the wall.
I love cold water and sit in cold plunges longer than hot tubs at my favorite spa. In other events, ice scattered across water actually felt good after building body heat along the course. This was not like other events. First of all it was about fifty-two degrees. Second, we had been running a short time and had not built up internal heat, and third, the water was absolutely crammed full of ice. I ran into frigid water up to my waist. I could feel ice cubes rubbing my shins, but kept moving until I reached the wall and ran my hand down it to feel how far under I would have to go. It was pretty far. Scary far, and the extreme cold made it hard for me to breathe. Seriously, I was close to hyperventilating and needed to catch my breath. Allison had a similar experience and jumped up on the wall, clinging to it in a way she never knew she was able. The guys had gone first and could see Allison's head above the wall, just beneath the razor wire. "Go down!!" they shouted. "You can do it. Swim under!" Monica came up from behind. "We can't stay in here y'all. It's too cold. Go under!!"
"I just have to catch my breath," I said. "Go ahead," I told Monica, "I'll go in just a second." Then I joined in trying to convince Allison to drop off the wall. "Come on Allison – we can do it!" I shouted as she dropped back in the water and we both went underneath swimming as fast as we could to the other side. Bruce leaned across the steep embankment and put out his hand. "Watch your feet," he said, "there are boards to help your footing, but they're tricky." I found my footing and he pulled me up and out of the water in a flash. Myron was pulling Allison out at the same time and then both he and Monica shouted at us to start moving. "We have to warm up, we can stop in a few minutes."
I am so glad we had a team. Right there, at obstacle two, it was clear each of us was looking out for the other and no one would be left behind. If we needed a shout, a word of encouragement, or even a commonsense reminder of what to do next, our team was ready. If we needed to be physically pushed, pulled, or untangled, our team would stick it out until we all were ready to move forward. It felt good to be part of this team.
All five of us slowly and carefully started along the muddy and uneven terrain, waiting for the numbness to leave and our breathing to return to normal. A few minutes later, a tingling sensation began and warmth returned to our bodies. "That was a lot worse than I expected," one of us said, and we all agreed. I tried not to think about how much worse some of the other obstacles might be.
Soon enough we passed a sign for the two mile point, which was good news. The running was going well, although footing was tricky, sometimes slippery, always uneven, and often on a slant. We kept the pace slow and I was happy not to have to work hard to maintain the group pace. An obstacle resembling giant Lincoln logs came next and we climbed and ducked under and over until clear. I was the slowest, but it didn't matter. The dark tunnel went well too, and those muddy water troughs could have been really tough, but Myron and Bruce made sure we had a hand or a boost out of every trench.
Being on a team was amazingly different from practicing on my own. We had covered seven obstacles and were having a good time. "We're doing it!" I shouted, excited I was able to compete in this challenge after all. The day before, I had seriously imagined skipping most obstacles and walking much of the constant up and down trail we traversed. Yet here we were one-third of the way through, and we had made every obstacle and kept up a good running pace .
And then, on a relatively smooth, dry and hard-packed part of the trail, I took a step wrong and heard a pop as I went down. It must have been my lack of training that felled me, because there was no reason other than "tired feet" to miss my step right there. The trail was plenty dicey in areas, but not where I went down. The team came back and rallied around me. Both guys are EMT's so they had my shoe and sock off in seconds. As far as sprains go, this wasn't bad, but I was not going to be able to finish the course. I was very disappointed.
Another team called The Bearded Men came upon us and blessed my injury, praying for a speedy and complete recovery. Shortly after, the pain went completely away and I could stand and walk. (Thank you Bearded Men.) We made our way through the next hurdle, a muddy, steeply banked pond about waist deep, with the team staying close enough to me I could hold on for support, then walked to the ninth obstacle where event staff had been notified by passing runners to bring the medic jeep to pick me up.
It was then I knew what my role in the team needed to be. I wanted to finish the course, even by walking around obstacles, and my ankle wasn't so swollen I couldn't put my shoe back on. Leaving the course in a medic jeep meant I could neither claim the title Tough Mudder nor receive the headband given to finishers, but I worried the team might insist on staying with me if I tried to finish, and how my selfishness might hold all of them back. I had to let go of what I wanted for myself to allow the team to finish strong.
Once assured by staff the medic jeep was on its way, my team waved to me and started climbing up and over large round hay bales stacked five high. I watched and cheered them on, then waited for my ride. Thirty minutes later, my husband, Marc, greeted me in the medic tent, where my ankle had been wrapped and iced, and silver thermal blanket draped around me.
A change to dry clothes and picnic lunch made our waiting time quick and pleasant. When we spotted our team in the far distance near the next to last obstacle, Marc jogged over to take photos of them coming over a fifteen foot tall quarter pipe. The greased surface and outwardly curving shape made it impossible to surmount without being pulled up and over by other participants at the top. My team soon was over and jogging toward the last obstacle where I was waiting to cheer them to the finish. They looked great – determined, tired, and very glad to see the finish line.
No one really wanted to complete the last obstacle. You were guaranteed to be zapped by up to 10,000 volts of live electrical current if you ran through it, but Allison took a long hard look and decided she was going to run it. As the other teammates walked around the obstacle, she geared herself up to dash through the dangling wires. Myron realized Allison had stopped, and true to the team spirit encompassing us the entire day, he went back to join her. Together they ran over at least a fifty foot expanse of muddy berms while being randomly shocked in the crossing. Dazed, but still upright, they joined Monica and Bruce to cross the finish line as a team.
Wistfully, I watched them don orange Tough Mudder headbands, though my smile held pride and satisfaction, too. Our team had finished well, completing more obstacles than expected and in less time than I estimated we would take – even with extra time out to take care of me. Although their bodies were cold and sore, I saw in each tired muddy smile how good their achievement felt. Tough Mudder is over and our team may never form again, but it was a great team and I had a blast being part of it.

Work again today and, determined not to let it upset my new found sense of almost wellbeing, I wore my favourite skirt and checked shirt, teamed with a waist belt I never wear cos I think it makes me look like I have too much junk in my trunk. Although I have grumpy morning face so it's hard to tell, I was super happy with the overall effect. Step one to feeling good, looking good – check.
The main reason behind this is an attempt at a change of attitude. I discovered in rereading Veronika Decides to Die the notion of bravery, as attributed to the concept of madness within the book. Basically, at several points in the book, the characters within the asylum contemplate the sane world outside. A world filled with people doing the same thing every day despite the fact it often makes them miserable. Gradually you realise the idea of this is in fact madness and those 'mad' people in the asylum merely brave to stand up and say, I don't want to live like that, I want for me to be happy. I remembered that I once did that, a completely mad act of giving everything up and moving away to have a greater chance at happiness and yet now I find myself cowed and afraid. And so I wore an outfit that maintained a professional appearance for work, whilst also guaranteeing that every time I caught sight of my reflection it would make me smile, to hell with whether or not it made me look like I had odd shaped ass implants.
This evening I put my Glee CDs in the car – I have the first two, after that I lost interest – and, driving home from an evening out with my mum, listened to Defying Gravity for the first time in years. First I make no apologies for owning the first two Glee albums, second, I realised in listening to the words, like Veronika and the inmates of Villette, Elphaba and Glinda have a point. Life should be about listening to your instincts and taking chances, not cowering away afraid.
So, Monday achieved. Tomorrow is a day off and I have nice things planned so it's an easy one, plus I have Zombies, Run! to look forward to.
Hope your Monday has been good!

On 17th October 2012 we were very fortunate to have a most interesting speaker in Mr. Mark O'Neill who spoke on his grandfather who saw service with the Chinese Labour Corps in France during the Great War and was awarded the Order of the Striped Tiger by the Chinese Government. Mark also speak of his grandfather's experiences with the Russian Tsarist Army in Manchuria and the Imperial Japanese Army (including the 'Tiger of Dalian') before the outbreak of WW II and as a prisoner under house arrest prior to his repatriation. As the title suggests, he has written a book on his grandfather's life and exploits, in rural Manchuria and elsewhere, during periods of great upheaval.
It was a fascinating and most interesting presentation and several people bought the book. Mark also brought along the Order of the Striped Tiger believed to have been owned by his grandfather, which in itself led to some interesting medal related discussions.
As usual, there was much conviviality and discussion both before and after the talk at the Police Officers Club over a few beverages. We thank Mark for his time.

I recently asked several friends what it means to be successful in their careers. More specifically, how they knew they were successful.
Many mentioned their monthly salary, promotions and positive feedback from their colleagues and managers as indicators that they must be doing something right.
For start-uppers, these indicators often don't apply. Here is why:
- You pay yourself, often less than you would earn working as an employee.
- You are already the top decision-maker, on top of doing everything else. From HR to accounting and marketing… anything goes when you're starting out and trying to save costs where you can.
- Many will say how proud they are that you started your own thing, and how well you are doing. While this is very endearing (and helps keep you going), it is not a true reflection of your professional success.
So, how does one gauge their success in a start-up? Obviously, the revenue your start-up generates, and your customers' feedback should tell you that you're still on the right path. But what if you're in the – often psychologically debilitating – pre-revenue generating stage? And what if you're still trying to pin down the right target market?
How do you know whether you will continue having success as an individual in your start-up?
Below some of my own indicators of success. They might surprise you:
#1: You keep making mistakes
Failures are only failures if you don't learn from them. If you don't pick yourself up and dust yourself off.
In fact, success comes from failing again and again. Consider Steve Jobs. He was fired from Apple and failed with two projects before returning to achieve amazing things at Apple.
Or AirBnB. Before getting their target market right, the company and its owners were in so much debt that they had to sell cereal boxes! Being in so much debt forced them to become creative and more money-savvy. I doubt they would have become so successful if they hadn't been in such a pickle.
These people achieved success because they failed. The difference between them and everyone else is that they kept going.
Personal experience: I've made several mistakes: Working with the "wrong" people, getting involved with the "wrong" companies and spending money on the "wrong" things. "Wrong" is in quotation marks, because "wrong" often turns into a "right" if you see it for what it is. These were all lessons I had to learn, so that I could set myself up for success in the long-run. These were all opportunities that built my confidence and shaped me into a better entrepreneur. I failed successfully.
So, if you keep butting your head against a wall, don't despair. The fact that you even found that wall means you're moving forward. Keep making the right mistakes that stretch you as an entrepreneur and allow you to learn valuable lessons.
#2: You work and connect with the right people
This is a big one. Working with the right people who are competent, self-motivated and who "get" your vision is already a fantastic indicator and factor of your success. Hiring the right team members and/or consultants means that you are identifying like-minded individuals who can help achieve your goals. And it shows that you know who you need on your team to give your start-up the best possible chance.
The same applies to other organisations that your start-up becomes involved with, whether through outsourcing or as a strategic partner.
Personal experience: I founded The Happiness Network and Brownie Points with one of my best friends. This was a natural progression from spending so much time dreaming and fine-tuning our vision for many years. I had never worked with him before, but thought that there were enough commonalities and intrinsic trust for us to make a great team. At first, it all seemed to go well. However, eventually it turned out that we often butted heads and were almost competitive in "having it our way". He also seemed to thrive more in a more structured and established organisation that provided more security and certainty. Ending our partnership was the hardest thing I've ever done since working in a start-up.
I also almost signed a yearly contract with a start-up coaching company that would cost us thousands. There were no indicators that this was a mistake: Our coach checked in with us regularly over 3 months, and gave us the right nudges to keep on moving forward. We seemed to have a lot of rapport and he assured me that his main concern was to help us achieve our goals and make our start-up a success. When he sent me the contract, I had to swallow hard and really consider whether spending this money would really contribute significantly to achieving our goals. I had to turn him down, but told him that we would review our relationship once we had more funding. He never replied to my email.
On a more positive note, I've also experienced what it means to work with the right people and companies. Every single person I work with now is pushing me and our start-up to be the best it can be. Our tech consulting partner, Unboxed Consulting, continues to delight me. Not just because of the outstanding work they do, but also because they show how much they truly care about our success. When your outsourcer is giving you advice that saves your start-up thousands, at their own expense, then you know you're working with the right team.
#3: You focus on your vision
I've read stories about entrepreneurs starting with a grand vision and ending with selling the start-up for millions, without having made their vision a reality.
While this might be an indicator that buyers bought into their idea and were willing to pay a fair buck for it, would this mean that you were successful? Even if having millions in your bank account meant you never brought your vision to its full potential?
This is just one example of differences between financial success and actually making your start-up a success.
Personal experience: We were approached to sell Brownie Points. While this would have been "the easy way out" and filled up our pockets, the buyer had little knowledge of the nonprofit and impact sector. We had to ask ourselves: Is it worth selling out, even though our vision for Brownie Points would never come to fruition? It wasn't.
Another indicating factor for me, is whether every decision I make contributes or aligns to our vision. We recently had to decide on the message we'd like to convey through our marketing channels to show how we are different to our competitors. Instead of using some exaggerated statements to help us stand out, we simply referred directly to our vision of "building impact success stories". Easy peasy.
If your pending decision does not in some or other way relate to your vision, don't do it. Prioritising your resources and activities to steer your start-up towards your vision one tiny step at a time reflects your success as much as increasing revenues and happy customers. If not more than.
#4: You enjoy what you do
This for me is the best indicator of success as a start-up professional. Especially when you first start out and it's tough to keep going.
So many working professionals, including start-uppers, experience a decrease in the joy they derive from the work they do. How can you deem yourself successful if you spend most of your day, week, month and life just going through the motions? Being successful means feeling successful. You can only feel successful if you're enthusiastic about what you do.
Personal experience: Every day, I check in with my tasks and with myself. Do I find joy in what I do? And does it give me meaning and purpose? If the answer is no, I stop immediately and focus on something else, before getting back to it, or changing it in such a way that I do enjoy it. That makes me feel successful.
#5: You impact others positively
Impacting others' lives positively is not only a fantastic philosophy, but also a brilliant business model. If your product can solve a problem for others, help them better themselves and/or their surroundings or impact them – even in the slightest way – you already have a head start into creating a successful start-up and being a successful person.
When all is said and done, how you influenced others and made them feel, is all that matters. This pertains to everyone you come into contact with, including the ones benefitting from your product.
Personal experience: If I deal with anyone and I cannot leave them feeling even slightly better than before, I don't do it. This comes across everything I say and do, from emails to meetings and the products I come up with.
And that's why The Happiness Network and Brownie Points are not only a service and a philanthropy platform, but are embodiments of everything I base my life on.
We all need feedback on whether we are achieving something, on whether we're successful and how our work impacts others. For start-ups, it can take years before seeing tangible results and revenues of your efforts.
Until that time comes, keep learning, connecting, visualising, enjoying and impacting.

If you think getting tornadoes in Hampton Roads is unusual, how about hail, and that happening on a warm day!! You might have been witness to the recent hail storm that fell through the Newport News Area. Wavy 10 TV announced, "There were several reports of hail – from pea-sized to ping-pong ball-sized. In addition to hail, there were strong winds, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning." This type of weather can wreak serious havoc on your roof, especially in combination!
Minutes before the hail struck in the area my mother called me, who lives about 20 minutes north of me in Newport News, "Stay inside and whatever you do, don't take the dog out." She explained in haste, describing ping-pong ball-sized hail. After 20 years in the area and never having seen that, I wondered if maybe she was exaggerating a bit? I heard a little rumble starting on the roof and out of curiosity, walked into the hallway only to witness what she was talking about. Watching these ice balls bounce on the ground with such vengeance, I could only think it would be like getting struck multiple time by paintball pellets to be walking in that mess!!! Have you had an experience with a pummeling hail storm? If so, feel free to share with us on our facebook post. We would sure like to hear about it. According to reports, this was the most reported hail storm damage since before 2005.
Can you imagine the force of the hail on a roof? That accompanied by strong winds and heavy downpours? If your home is in one of the areas the hail hit, how do you know if there is damage? Good question, because hail damage is often not visible from the ground. It's easy to think that since the storm was a couple of months ago, any sign of damage would be obvious by now. Not necessarily. Minor damages can eventually develop into major and costly repairs if left ignored. The best option is to have a trained profession inspect the roof for any damages since they have a skilled eye of what to look for.
Whether you would like to clear your mind of any harm to your roof, need repairs or it's time for a roof replacement, give us a call at 757-867-6600. We are more than happy to come out and provide a free estimate for you.
As fall starts, many homeowners are calling roofers in Chesapeake for roof inspection, repair, or replacement.

While I am struggling to find the time to complete and pack the Beta version of the virtual Lightning II, in the real world the fifth F-35 had its first flight. It is the BF-3 (that is the third STOVL prototype), and as you can see from the picture, it is completely painted in dark grey - which I assume it will be the standard livery for all the prototypes.
So, since the AA-1 has been retired, now there are four F-35s flying: AF-1 (CTOL), BF-1, BF-2 and BF-3. BF-1 and BF-2 are currently in Patuxent River and are undergoing a series of test flights that will culminate in the first actual STOVL flights - see http://www.jsf.mil/ for some cool hi-res pictures and additional details (including videos of the first lift-fan in-flight engagements).
As for the FSX projects... well, as I said I am struggling to find the time to work on it.
For those who are curious, the major differences from the beta will be:
- an updated visual model with more detailed 3d geometry (especially in the landing gear and refuel receptacle aeras) and more detailed textures - with slightly different coloring.
- a better flight model - with special thanks to Roberto Leonardo who provided some substantial tweaks to the .air file. The plane has now a more realistic turn performance, and a more "neutral" behaviour, in attempt to emulate the effects of an advanced FCC/FCS system.
- more VC functionality: it is now possible to change the functions of the four areas of the MFD by picking from the menus on the bottom. At present, HSI (with map mode), RADAR/MAP (with terrain mode), FCS modes are working (but do not expect anything too fancy - I've extensively reused FSX code for those) - ENGine, (mock) WEaPon, COMmunication, ICWS and FUEL modes are planned. SWAP and MENU button should be functional, too.
The MFD functionality is the thing that needs more work... may be 10-12 hours. Hopefully I will complete it in the next weekend.Last I need to apologize again to anyone who has sent me an email in the past few days - my email is working but I did not find the time to reply, even to messages that are quite important for the project.

CFM Recommendations
Ventilation performance is measured in Cubic Feet per Minute, or CFM. The higher the CFM, the greater the amount of air that is evacuated through the ventilation system. CFM recommendations are based on the cooking appliance output.
XO recommends 1 CFM per 100 Btu/hr.
Some Typical Examples:
Bertazzoni 36′ 6 Burner Range (49,000 Btu) = 490 CFM Requirement
AGA Pro+ Dual Fuel 36′ 5 Burner (50.400 BTU) = 504 CFM Requirement
GE Caf̩ 30′ 5 Burner Range (55,100 BTU) = 550 CFM Requirement
Viking 30′ 4 Burner Range (60,000 BTU) = 600 CFM Requirement
Internal vs Remote Blower
A ventilation system must include a blower assembly.
All XO ventilation models come with the blower installed for quick and easy installation. This saves time and money.
Remote blowers are mounted on the roof. This requires extra cost and maintenance. Remote mounted blowers will minimize the amount of blower noise, but will not eliminate the noise completely.
Recirculating Ventilation
All XO models can function both as filter or exhaust hoods: exhaust hoods take the air and expel it to the outside of the house, while ductless filter hoods use grease and charcoal odor filters to purify the air and then return it to the original environment. IMPORTANT NOTE: This type of ventilation will not remove heat, moisture or combustion gases
from the air. It will also be less effective in reducing odors and smoke.
Width Guidelines
The minimum hood width recommended for wall installations should be equal to the width of the cooktop or range. If the space is not restricted, a wider hood should be used to increase the capture area. Island installations require a greater capture area.
It is recommended that XO island hoods overlap the width of the cooktop or range by a minimum of 3″ on either side.
Ceiling Height
When selecting an XO ventilation hood, make sure there is enough ceiling height to accommodate the hood. This can be determined by adding the floor-to-countertop height plus the recommended spacing between the countertop and the bottom of the hood plus the height of the hood. All XO hoods are designed to work with ceiling height from 7.5 ft to 9 ft.
For applications up to 10ft tall an optional duct cover extension is available.
Electrical Requirements
XO hoods require a separate, grounded 120 V AC, 60 Hz power supply. The service should have its own 15 amp circuit breaker. Placement of the electrical supply is not critical as long as you provide a minimum of 12″ (305) of 120 V AC power cable for the wall hood and 6′ (1.8 m) for the island hood.
Ducting Considerations
Most XO hoods require an 6′ Round or a 3 _' x 10′ duct pipe.
Smaller duct sizes will significantly reduce ventilation performance.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only metal ductwork.. Ducting can run through the roof, external wall or eave . A straight, short duct run with a limited number of elbows and transitions will allow the ventilation hood to perform most efficiently.
XO ventilation hoods will operate most efficiently when ductwork does not exceed 50′ in length.
Consult your local HVAC professional for specific requirements in your area.
Minimize duct runs and number of elbows and transitions. Do not place elbows and transitions back-to back.

And he was sure to get a lecture from Yuna about what he had done.

The 10 Best Residential Roof Decks in New York City — August 5, 2013 -
When you can't afford your own private piece of outdoor real estate, it doesn't hurt to share — here are the city's best communal rooftops, whether you're looking to rent or buy
New York is a city of views views that are best from the tops of buildings and all the better if that building is yours. Private outdoor space, of course, is pricey and hard to come by in a real estate market better known for cramped spaces and quirky layouts than grassy lawns and chaise lounges. New York City roof decks, then, are something to be cherished, and its not just the lookout that makes them so special. The best decks go beyond views with reflecting pools, professional barbecues, expansive greenery and eye-catching lawn furniture. For those who cant or dont want to pay for apartment units with these kind of private outdoor spaces, a communal roof deck is the next best thing as it provides benefits of outdoor living without the associated effort and cost.
Roof decks are always a desirable amenity, says Sarah Burke, the director of sales for Williamsburg at Douglas Elliman. People want to maximize their view and their outdoor space, and thats the purpose of a great roof deck. With that in mind, weve scouted the 10 best communal decks in the city right now. They pop up in neighborhoods from Long Island City to Harlem, in rental and condo buildings of various heights and at various price points and the view is always breathtaking.
The list of rooftop amenities at Chelsea condo 133 West 22nd Street runs long. The deck, on the 12th floor of the building, is equipped with a sparkling pool, grills, lounge chairs, a dining room, private grotto spaces and an outdoor shower. For parties, building residents put a catering island to good use. Tracie Hamersley, a resident of the building and a Douglas Elliman broker who is listing two units there, says residents throw a big roof party every Fourth of July. The views look out onto the Hudson River and the uptown skyline. Hamersley loves to show the deck to potential buyers, and oftentimes the space helps to sell a listing. In this market, most buyers desire some type of outdoor space, she says. Everybody wants a place to relax outdoors.
What itll cost you: Sale units are currently available starting at $1.35 million for a 763-square-foot one-bedroom and rental units currently start at $5,195 for a one-bedroom. For more details, search 133 West 22nd Street on StreetEasy.com.
225 Rector Place, a luxury condo building in Battery Park City, lays claim to a roof deck of many faces. Clodagh, the interior designer of the condo building, arranged the 4,000-square-foot space into two different sections. One area, designed for relaxing, comes complete with chaise lounges. The other features a 500-square-foot, high-ceilinged rooftop cabana with a steel prep kitchen, seating, powder room, barbecue grilling station and dining for up to eight. Theres even more room to spread out: the cabana directly adjoins the rooftop sun terrace. Sherry Toback, the senior vice president for Related Companies and the director of sales at 225 Rector, says the roof cabana is constantly in use for resident parties. There are so many different options for the space, she says. You can relax, you can barbecue and party, or you can lay out and sunbathe. She calls the roof a tremendous selling point for potential buyers; the building is over 90 percent sold.
What itll cost you: Sale units are currently available starting at $572,250 for a 621-square-foot studio and rental units currently start at $3,500 for an 800 square-foot two-bedroom (see this NewYork.com listing for a $6,500 two bed, two bath ). For more details, search 225 Rector Place on StreetEasy.com.
Twenty-five floors up at 20 Pine Street in the Financial District. youll find a serene and peaceful escape from the hectic Downtown below, made all the better by a narrow reflecting pool surrounded by landscaping. Relaxation options abound and include lounge chairs, low platforms that look perfect for an afternoon nap and shaded areas. In the evening, lighting accents the trees along the decks perimeter. Its the type of space that will make you forget you live in New York City that is until you look up and catch the striking view of the Chrysler Building.
What itll cost you: Sale units are currently available starting in the $800,000s for a 662-square-foot studio (see this NewYork.com listing for an $839,000 opportunity ) and for a rental units currently start at $2,800 for a 656-square-foot studio. For more details, search 20 Pine Street on StreetEasy.com.
The crown jewel of the 51-story Downtown rental tower is unquestionably its sprawling roof deck. The space clocks in at 9,000 square feet with vistas in every direction. The rooftops grassy lawn is about the closest thing to a suburban backyard youll find in Manhattan. But of course, all backyards dont come so swanky. At the end of this lawn theres a shaded gazebo with patio chairs, and there are trees growing right along its edges. The space also has a gas fireplace, a wet bar, a catering kitchen and plenty of lounge furniture. Views look out onto the Financial District with the Freedom Tower in close view.
What itll cost you: Rental units are currently starting at $2,775 for a 619-square-foot studio. For more details, search 2 Gold Street on StreetEasy.com.
Midtown is a neighborhood known for skyscrapers, although most of the nearby towering office buildings arent known for their lush roof decks. The Atelier, a 46-story condo building on West 42nd Street, boasts one of the best roof decks in the neighborhood. Its got 360-degree views of Manhattan. The outdoor space is landscaped and complete with plenty of high-end lounge furniture. Unlike most other residential roof decks, theres a tricked-out indoor space as well. The indoor lounge has a billiards table, a big screen television and a kitchen for those rooftop munchies.
What itll cost you: Sale units are currently available starting at $775,000 for a 600-square-foot one-bedroom and rental units (see this NewYork.com listing for several rentals in the $3,000s ) For more details, search Atelier on StreetEasy.com.
The views of Manhattan from Long Island City in Queens are worthy of a postcard, and they look even better from the top of a 10-story warehouse. The Powerhouse, a condo building right at the foot of the LIC waterfront, overlooks unobstructed views of Manhattan. When developers converted the former industrial building into a residential development they added a four-story rooftop. That means the roof deck is brand-spanking new and designed specifically for lounging. The roof has a tiered deck with trees and white lounge chairs and its perimeter is lined with plantings, flowers and bollard-style lighting. Those who want to throw private parties have not been forgotten as theres a cabana space residents can use for personal parties. And, of course, it isnt an outdoor party without the use of a stainless steel barbeque. Views (and hamburgers) are best enjoyed after the sun goes down.
What itll cost you: Sale units are currently available starting at $775,000 for an 890-square-foot one-bedroom and rental units currently start at $2,450 for a 608-square-foot studio. For more details, search The Powerhouse on StreetEasy.com.
Gramercy Starck, the new rental and condo development at 340 East 23rd St. has a blossoming roof deck that takes inspiration from its famous park surroundings. The 3,000-square-foot deck brims with flowers, shrubbery and trees. The cushy outdoor furniture includes a shaded sun bed, the requisite lounge chairs and even fireplaces for those cooler spring and fall nights. The views look north, out onto the Empire State Building. And if a top-of-the-roof deck isnt enough for you, the building also has a second floor terrace with an outdoor gas fireplace.
What itll cost you: Sale units are currently available starting at $679,000 for a 435-square-foot studio and rental units currently start at $2,700 for the same studio size. For more details, search Gramercy Starck on StreetEasy.com.
There arent many residential buildings in New York City where you can take a dip while taking in rooftop views, but the East Harlem condo building One Museum Mile at 1280 Fifth Avenue qualifies. The pool only goes down 4 feet, but its perfectly designed for relaxing and cooling off, while the deck is dotted with chaises, chairs, tables and umbrellas. Since more than 50 percent is plantable, it qualifies as a certified city green roof. Rosemary bushes, osteospermum, pansies and low-maintenance grasses are woven throughout. What isnt growing are any towering trees. Thats because the view, looking down onto the expanse of Central Park, is just too good.
What itll cost you: Sale units are currently available starting at $1.395 million for a 1,195-square-foot one-bedroom and rental units currently start at $3,200 for an 838-square-foot studio. For more details, search One Museum Mile on StreetEasy.com.
Towering 76 stories high, New York by Gehry at 8 Spruce Street is the tallest residential building in all of New York City. The shiny, spiraling rental tower is outfitted with two different decks that look out onto the Financial District. The first is the pool deck, located on the seventh floor. The 50-foot indoor pool is located under a glass skylight and is surrounded by glass doors. The doors are left open in the summer and lead to an outdoor deck. The deck has lounge chairs, umbrellas and plantings for those who want a nip of sun. One story below, on the sixth floor, is the buildings swanky grilling terrace. The terrace has separate dining cabanas with large tables, chairs, shade and barbecues. Unfortunately, residents dont have access to the very top of the tower that space is reserved for building mechanicals. It just means youll have to make friends with a renter on the 76th floor to get a peek at those amazing views.
What itll cost you: Rental units are currently available starting in the $3,000 (check out NewYork.coms listing for a $3,450 for a one-bedroom unit ). For more details, search New York by Gehry on StreetEasy.com
111 Kent
111 Kent Avenue
111 Kent Avenue is located right across the street from the East River State Park and features the Manhattan views that Williamsburg is famous for. The fifth floor roof deck looks about as cool as the hipster denizens that roam the streets below. On the lower level of the deck is an outdoor plunge pool thats 3 feet, 6 inches deep. The upper level sundeck is filled with plantings and lounge chairs. Certain sections of the deck even have green grass, a rare commodity in New York. Throw in a barbecue grill and some intimate areas to sit and dine, and you have the recipe for one awesome Brooklyn rooftop party.

Ridgewood NJ, according to councilmen Ramon Hache, the Village is continuing the improvements to our roads in 2018. The Village Council recently funded $2,489,852 for paving and resurfacing. Harsh winters and infrastructure work by PSE&G have wreaked havoc on our roads.
Many residents have expressed concerns over the conditions of many of our roads. It is important to note that not all of the roads in town belong to the Village. Many roads belong to the county and the cost and responsibility of paving those roads falls on the county. Despite being a quaint town, Ridgewood has more county roads running through it than any other town in Bergen County, with a total of 15. Hackensack comes in second with only 11. Some of the roads with the worst conditions are county roads. For example, Franklin Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue from Paramus Road to Maple Avenue (only the portion between Maple and Broad belongs to the Village). Here is a complete list of the county roads that run through Ridgewood:
Ackerman Ave
E Ridgewood Ave
E Saddle River Rd
Franklin Ave
Franklin Tpke
Glen Ave
Godwin Ave
Goffle Rd
Lake St
Lincoln Ave
Linwood Ave
Maple Ave
Prospect St
Racetrack Rd
Van Emburgh Ave
The county is working on their $13 million paving and resurfacing program. Their work in our area will begin with E Ridgewood Avenue from Rt 17 to Maple Avenue. In the meantime, we are pleased to announce our 2018 Ridgewood Paving List:

amigurumi angels!
well, needless to say, it was quite difficult to grasp at first, but Lis of saplanet was very helpful. i kept e-mailing her to ask abt tiny details and her replies were always prompt!
anyway, after a few false starts, here's the finished result... i can't find a cream colour in the 'aminah made in japan' yarn series that the shop lady insisted is the perfect yarn for dolls. so i ended up using a light brown, which the housemate said made the amigurumi looked like 'afro-angels'! hehe... and i'm not so good at sewing, so my amigurumi's smiles are a bit weird!
i did the Elvis Angel first, coz i know i'll make lots of mistakes and i wanted the 'girl' angel to look really nice. so i decided to practice with the 'boy' angel and i did make a huge mistake! my Elvis Angel was made inside out! compare the stitches between the 2 angels in the top pic and u'll get what i mean. luckily Lis e-mailed me another additional file later on and i was able to make Angie Angel the right way.
back view of Elvis Angel...
i think i stuffed Angie Angel with too much fibrefill, coz her shape turned out to be like that of a bee! and she looks much bigger than Elvis Angel, which is so wrong! girl angels should be smaller than boy angels... ok, i'm stereotyping, but what the heck!
Angie Angel hanging...

weekend getaway
looking for a place to stay was hell! we arrived quite late, abt 6pm and all the places in brinchang were fully booked, be it hotels, inn, guesthouses, motels etc... in the end, we found a yucky room for an exorbitant price of RM150!
as it was a saturday, a 'pasar malam' (night market) day in cameron, we went to have a look. well, most of the stalls there were catered for tourists... if i were a local there, i dun think i'd buy anything there! but since i'm the tourist, i went ahead and parted with my money! hehe... bought some fresh vege, for goodness knows why, since i dun cook at all! but they were really cheap, prices ranging from 4 - 12 packets for RM10, depending on the size of the packs.
nothing like a pot of steamboat to warm one up in the cold! but the shop that we went to (aiya, forgot the name of the shop!) only served us a few slivers of cuttlefish, 2 miserable fish balls, 2 pitiful meat balls, a bit of 'tao-kee' (bean curd skin) and lots of vege, for the cut-throat price of RM36! that's RM18 per head! >:(
after an unsatisfactory steamboat dinner, we headed over to this shop "Strawberry Moments" that we spotted earlier for some strawberry desserts. their menu were mouth-watering and i had a hard time deciding what i wanted. in the end, we shared this "Melt-in-Mouth", which consisted of 3 scoops of ice-creams (strawberry, raspberry and chocolate), strawberries coated in white chocolate, marshmallows and fresh strawberries. other than that, i ordered a cup of strawberry tea while the bf had some hot chocolate. hmm... at least the dessert did not disappoint!
early the next morning (believe me, for someone who usually goes to bed at 5 or 6 in the morning, waking up at 7am IS VERY EARLY!), the bf drove me further up the mountain to watch the view from Equatorial Hotel... it was lovely!
from the front of equatorial hotel, there's this little trail of steps overgrown with bushes, trees and plants leading down to the plantation below... it was really beautiful and fun, but the overprotective bf would not allow me to venture beyond the steps to the mud trail further below :(
after a bit of exploring and picture taking, went back to town for breakfast... we've deduced that food is quite expensive there! then we checked out and went strawberries hunting! ok, not really hunting... plucking!
1/2 kg for RM20... and these proprietors are really clever, i tell u. u not only buy their strawberries, u need to do the work for them too!
on the way down, stopped by the roadside to take this spectacular view of the tea plantation... then since it's still quite early, we decided to go up another road to the Boh Tea plantation. boy, the road is really narrow and winding, just enough for one car to pass at a time!
yikes! saw this gigantic millipede crawling along the path at the plantation... scary!
we decided not to track up to the very top of the plantation, coz it's so tiring! so we went to visit the Boh factory and see how they process the tea...
after that, we rested for a bit in their tea shop... i had the Boh green tea (yucks!) and the bf had the Boh camomile (nice!). and so, our weekend getaway ended with 2 mugs of Boh tea! and i'm gonna be sick of strawberries for a very long time!

chewie's first day at school
turns out, chewie's penchant for food is every dog trainer's dream come true! she responds well since the very first task (recall with the 'come' command). well, actually a bit too well! she even responds to other dogs' names! *sigh*
the other 2 new enrollments were poodles. one was too shy and uptight, as if stoned. wouldn't do anything... the other poodle dun respond well to food inducement.
and it helps that chewie already has some ground work... she sits and comes easily. and is really a pleasure to train! and the trainers were all so keen for her to advance to higher levels, encouraging me to start getting her to love chasing balls and jumping. would be great for agility training later on. the main trainer even tried some of the moves in the pre-novice level with her and she did it beautifully! so proud! *beam*
but she's not very social with other dogs... or rather, she doesn't know how to play nicely with other dogs. maybe lack of interaction. hopefully by enrolling her in the obedience school, she'll be able to learn some social skills in the process.
too bad, i was too busy to remember to take any photos... will see if i'll have the chance to take during next week's lesson.

chewie at 4 months +
next came 'down'. she did this fairly easily too... like a natural!
then out of a fit of fancy, i taught her to do 'hand-hand', coz it's just so cute! :P
then, from a book, i learnt that it's important to teach our dogs to leave something. say suddenly our pills or some poisonous things fell on the floor, then it'll be good for a dog to know that she is not to touch it. so i taught her to 'leave it'. here's she keeping a close eye on the cookie and waiting (im)patiently for me to give her the ok cue. cute hor?
next, i decided to make her 'sit' before i open the cage to let her out. this will teach her a bit of manners and not jump up and down excitedly waiting to come out... this is done easily coz she already knows the 'sit' command.
and then there's this habit of hers that i really want to break. since she found out where i keep her doggie biscuits, the store room has been her favourite room. whenever i open the store room door, she'll rush in excitedly and jump on all the savoury-smelling treats i keep in a plastic bag on the floor, tail wagging frantically. so i thot to myself, this just can't do. i don't want to have to keep fighting her off every time i go in to get her food or treats. so i decided to teach her to sit outside the room patiently while i go inside to get her food. here, she's 'cheating' by putting her front paws in... hehehe...
this needs working too... coz she can't stand to wait too long while i'm inside this heavenly place, with my back turned towards her, dunno doing what! so when she hears the first spoonful of dog biscuits hitting her bowl, she'll be a little wriggling machine, rushing in to join the fun! i'll have to chase her out a few times before i can finish ladling her food... *sigh*
and since she arrived, whenever i want her to go back to her cage, i'll wave some goodies at the top opening of her cage and say 'chewie, cage'. she'll rush in thru the side opening, i'll close the door and she gets her reward! now i don't need to hover the treat on top of her cage... i'll just point to her cage, say 'cage' and she'll jump in happily, waiting for me to close the door and dish out the reward!
and as an addition, i'll make her 'sit' first before getting any reward. so now after jumping in, she'll sit quietly for her reward without having to be told!
and here's her latest trick, which took me completely by surprise. i only taught it to her sporadically and only like on 2 occasions, coz she din seem to like it much. so i thot maybe she won't learn it. but that day, while going thru her drills, i thot to try this command, just to see if she knows it. and she did! she knows to 'roll'! i'm so proud of her!
so now, i've enrolled her into a puppy obedience school. hopefully she'll a good canine citizen and maybe pass her canine good citizen test later on!

on turning 30...
this is in response to karen cheng's post, one of the few 'stranger's blogs' that i frequent. and seeing that i'll be hitting the big three-oh next year, i thot maybe i should give my take on the topic.
well, i've never really thot abt being 30. i mean, i used to think abt being 12, abt being 18 and 21. but who the heck thinks abt turning 30, rite? but i guess it's sorta like an age-mark for everyone, especially women.
frankly, i don't feel like i'm anywhere near 30. i still feel like i did when i'm in university. juz the other day, i was telling the housemates that when i go out, i'm still dressing like i did when i went for lecture! in jeans and Ts. and i dun think i look the age too. once, i was stopped by a reporter from sin chew to ask abt my views on a particular topic. and when she asked for my details like name, age etc., she was so shocked to learn that i'm 29. she thot i'm a college kid!
perspectively, i guess i'm a failure for a 30 y/o. i mean, women at 30 r supposed to be matured, with an established career, starting/nurturing a young family, financially independent, full of confidence, adult enough to know what she wants and yet young enough to have the zest and energy to face the challenges of the world, etc.
and then look at me. i dun feel an adult at all. even tho' i consider myself streetwise, i don't hold myself well with intellects my own age and i get intimidated easily. and career-wise, what career??? i don't see where my career is heading, if what i'm doing now can be called 'career'. my financial state is a haywire with credit-card debt like the black hole, and even tho' i'm in a relationship, we're not hearing wedding bells anytime soon… and i'm still not 'settled'. i'm still running around, pursuing things like ice-skating, music and stuff, instead of seeking self-development such as getting a second degree/master or taking up a course to enhance my resume.
*sigh* will i end up the 'old aunty' pursuing youngsters stuff? but then again, y must i conform myself to society's perception of what's 'aunty stuff' and what's 'youngsters stuff'? is there really a clear definite line between the two? take ice-skating, for example. when i first started taking lessons, my colleagues at that time would laugh at me, especially this 'big sister', who is abt 8-10 years older than me. she's quite a modern mom, not aunty at all. but when she heard that i'm taking ice-skating, she would always tease that i'm too old for such things. "lao liao lar (old already lar), still wanna do ice-skating. all ur bones are too stiff liao!" yes, i agree that age is a factor to consider. i'm more afraid of falling down compared to those kids, which made it harder and longer for me to learn the more difficult steps. but it's something i want to do and it's not like i'll be going for the olympics…
i dunno… i dun even know how i feel abt turning 30. so what exactly should i feel differently the morning i wake up as a 30 y/o, compared to the previous night as a 29 y/o? will i suddenly feel wiser? more matured? or maybe feeling blue because i've reached the 30th mark without achieving anything great with my life thus far? or suddenly feel my bones going stiff? hehe… but then again, age has never really been anything to me other than numbers marking the duration i've been on planet earth. so why should 30 be any different from 29, rite? what's most important is that i live my life MY WAY.

too soon, maybe?
but then the bf saw this cocker spaniel (who will later become chewie) with the same birth date as him and then and there he decided he wants her! so i asked him to call one of the housemates to ask if i can keep the doggie in our apartment and the good soul agreed... so we excitedly bought chewie, along with all her accessories and dog food etc and brought her home.
well, luckily i'm working from home, so i can clean up after her and give her lots of play time to help burn off her energy. that way, she won't be so bored in her cage the whole day long. but now i'm having second thoughts. staying with housemates mean the house is not mine (obviously). so i need to keep a constant watch over the little bugger, to make sure she dun chew other ppl's shoe, floor mat etc. and during the night when the housemates are home, i need to make sure she dun run into their room. so i have to multitask: one hand cleaning out her cage, one hand entertain her with her chew toy to distract her. but sometimes she'll just bolt away and make for the rooms! that's when we can hear bloodcurdling screams from the housemates! hehe...
also, having other ppl in the house means they'll sometimes feed her the doggie food i keep handy in a small container nearby for training purposes. not that i'm against anyone feeding her, but incorrect method and indiscriminate feeding will only confuse and disrupt her training.
and now, one of the housemate's mom is here for 2 whole weeks... so i can't let chewie out too often, only long enough for me to clean her cage. so kesian, terperap in the cage for such long hours! but bo-pien... can tell from the housemate's mom's face that she dun quite like it. of course lar, everyday only know how to poo and pee and make noise. and when let loose, she'll go ard sniffing and licking ppl. and i keep her in the dry kitchen area, so it's quite inconvenient for her mom to cook. so of course dun like lar! but how wor? takkan keep her outside on the balcony? she'll get wet when it rains... and takkan keep her outside in the wet kitchen area? she'll keep the whole block awake with her barking... *sigh*
dunno how now... been complaining to the bf abt this. but what can he do also? *double sigh*

my new baby!
dear all, meet chewie! she's american mixed english cocker spaniel... only abt 3 months old. and she's the bf's little sister! coz she shares the same birthday as him. but hey, how come i'm the one who has to clean up after her??? but she's so adorable. and so clever too! spent one night here and oredi she knows where i keep her doggie biscuit! and she oredi knows her name, as well as 'sit', just after a few times i taught it to her! and she comes when i say "chewie, come!" but i think that's mainly because i have treats in my hand! next will try to get her to understand 'stand', 'hand-hand', 'down', 'look at me' etc. according to the vet, u can practically bribe a dog to do almost anything! hehe...
all the bf said was: "not even belong to us 24 hrs, oredi spent my RM500+ on doggie stuff and vet check-up!" hehe... siapa suruh it's his sister wor?
and since she's still so young, she poos and pees like 100 times a day! also, she's shedding now... changing her baby coat, i think. i'm so busy!!!
but so happy the housemates let me keep her! i know they dun really like the idea of keeping a dog in the apartment, coz they're smelly and dirty and bite things... but they know how much i yearn for it, so they agreed! cool huh? *happy*

i'm still alive!
ok, here's a quick update of what i've been up to:
1. work lar... until no day no night
2. orchestra practice for our upcoming concert in nov
3. this...
Spring Waltz! the final installment of the seasonal opus by the same producer of Autumn In My Heart, Winter Sonata & Summer Scent. hehe... have not watch summer scent tho'. anyone watched? nice?
anyway, as with the previous 2 'seasons' (dunno abt summer, tho' i'm sure it's also along the same lines), this last season did not disappoint in its mixed-up identity, looking for someone from the past when he/she's right in front of ur eyes, and the frustration and 'get moving already!' feeling that comes from watching all K-dramas...
and tho' Daniel Henny is quite yummy, no one beats bae yong joon! heh...
4. i've not mentioned this before, but the bf and i are getting our own condo. so been bz running ard for all the loan, documentation, legal side, surveying of furniture, etc etc. pretty hectic! and also the budget to worry abt, hence no. 1 above! and this is also partly the reason for previous post...
well that's all. dem exciting life i have, rite?

family affairs...
contrary to popular belief (ok, maybe just my naive and distorted view of things), a relationship between 2 people is not well, between just 2 people. now i realized, whatever decision, plans and undertakings we make/take will need to involve not 2 people, but 2 families! *sigh*
maybe i'm so used to being independent, coupled with the fact the my parents don't really impose any major restrictions on me, going along the tunes of "as long as ur life is not threatened, we trust that u're big enough to know what u're doing and what's important is u're happy", that suddenly having to extend my consideration for other ppl's family's views, opinions, wish, etc is just so dem frustrating! and the spoiled and obstinate brat in me wonder if it's really so important to give in to one's father's every whim and fancy, when all these while, it's MY every whim and fancy that's being met by my dad! *urgh*
Wednesday, 15 August 2007
new fad...
yep! PS2! hehehe... actually it's not so much my fad, but the bf. i only play the dummy games like super mario and monoply. hehehe... but he put it at my place so that he can shoot, race and bang police cars to his hearts content without nagging parents and controller-hogging siblings. like a kid right? *sigh*
not only that, he's obsess in collecting games! now it's filled 2 folders! *sigh*
Saturday, 11 August 2007
another step up the IT world...
starbucks! going wi-fi, with my brand new laptop! *grin*
just finish my bookcrossing meetup in bangsar shopping village and since gco practice is not until 8pm tonight, took the chance to pop into starbucks (oppostite bakerzin - the meetup venue this month) to take advantage of the fast connection to upload my cambodia pics... but dunno y, flickr is still quite slow. other site r dem fast, just flickr! only 100+ pics uploaded, 400+ more to go! *sigh*
but nvm lar. still heaps faster then my dial-up... so can't complain much...
will make it a short one this time round...
Thursday, 2 August 2007
siem reap: day 1
original plan
- had a job pending which i ABSOLUTELY MUST send out before my departure, so will stay up all night to finish it, hopefully by 4am, then i can pack my bags (yep, NOT YET PACK!) and get ready
- N to come to my place at 6 something in the morning, take the star lrt to bandar tasik selatan station, change to the klia transit to get to kl sentral and take the shuttle bus to lcct
- visits: old market, floating village of tonle sap & silk farm
job took longer than expected! finally managed e-mail it out. *panic*panic* ran frantically around room, throwing the things i want to pack on my bed.
finished packing in record time! *phew* take bath and waited for N to arrive.
N finally arrived, so we set out at a brisk walk for the lrt station. contemplated hailing a taxi to bring us straight to kl sentral, but all the taxi drivers parking along the roads were sleeping!
reached bandar tasik selatan station. can we make it to lcct before the check-in counter closes at 9.20? decided not to take the risk, so instead of going to kl sentral, we hopped onto the transit train going the other direction towards klia and took the shuttle bus to lcct from there.
backpacker in the making... at bandar tasik
selatan station, waiting for the klia transit
made it for the check-in... have some time to kill, so went to mcD's for breakfast. forgot that we can't bring any liquid on flights. dem! had to pour away my water from my tumbler.
siem reap, here we come! N can finally breathe properly... she's been worried sick that she'd be prevented from leaving the country as she's not been repaying her study loan. but should i be mentioning it here? :Þ
last minute read-up on the country...
*cambodia is 1hr behind us, so the time from here onwards will be in cambodian time...
first sight of the magnificent tonle sap from the air.
touched down in siem reap, 20 minutes late! feels a bit like in terengganu...
checked-in at guesthouse... room was not bad at all.
erm... *looking lost* what to do now? guesthouse proprietress suggest we walk over to the old market. so off we went!
this window caught our eyes... very creative!
cute rite?
next door is some other shop in renovation.
we saw this japanese ice-cream shop, looks kinda interesting... so even with stomachs growling, we decided to spoil our appetite with some ice-cream!
mango ice-cream, a slice of mango fruit and some mango juice, all mixed together on the freezing cold pan. the mango juice really froze-up!
magic mango ice-cream with nomthongmoun. (nomthongmoun is that long thing that looks a bit like love letters, but with a nutty taste)
ice-cream is creamy, but can taste the frozen juice/mango... something special! 1 mango magic ice-cream = USD2
even with ½ an ice-cream in each of us, we're still famished! found a khmer restaurant and decided to go for some authentic cambodian dishes.
u've not been to cambodia until u've tried their amok. this is chicken amok, tastes a bit like thai green curry. yums!
another cambodian dish, 'cambodian spices' (that's what written in the menu). yummers too!
lunch for 2 = USD8
found ourselves a tuk-tuk driver, saman. this vest is their license! drive a tuk-tuk without it and u can land urself in jail...
1 litre petrol = USD1
houses along the road towards tonle sap. the ppl here lived an extremely simple life, just a square pondok called home! but look closely... see all those tv aerials? we were wondering for the longest time: where did they get the power for their tv without electric cables? finally we learnt the answer from saman: car batteries!
and the road! leaving the town behind us, sorry hor, no tar road here... it's bump bump bump all the way for nearly 30 min! we were so sick of the bumping that we scrapped out the idea of going for the silk road adventure immediately!
at one point, saman's phone began to ring...
N: wah, not bad lar, they also use handphones.
me: but u know what is most amazing? even this san-ka-la (ulu) place also have signal ler! dun play-play o!
whole boat for only 2 of us... that's the way things work here.
boat ride = USD12/person
tips for boat guide = USD2
that boy in the pic was our boat guide, a 16 y/o boy who tried to con us into tipping him USD40!
con-boat guide: "...hopefully enough for my 1 month english night school fees?"
yeah rite! dream on, boy!
a floating primary school! land kids will go from the road while river kids will row their boats to school.
and even have a floating church! it's a whole community out here!
we were barraged by these kids trying to get us to
buy bananas: "lady (pronounced 'lεdI'), you buy banana! 1 dollar!"
some ppl keep fish ponds outside their houses... but here, the fad is crocodile cages!
here's me giving out chocolates we brought specially for the kids here.
we were shopping for normal sweets when N spotted this! ain't they cute? we thot we'd be much happier giving out these than say, hudson sweets! how boring rite? so even tho it's more expensive, we bought it anyway. and watcing the delight dancing in the children's eyes when they received it, i'd say it was worth every sen!
boat guide: "those r vietnamese. pointed hats"
after a bumpy ride back to the old market place, and being informed by saman that the silk factory is very far away, we got saman to bring us to Artisans d'Angkor, an institute recruiting 18-25 y/o uneducated apprentices from the rural areas to train them skills in khmer crafts.
others do wood carving...
ok, maybe that's enough for the first day. back to guesthouse? not so fast! saman cleverly booked us (that's right, HE booked US!) for the evening and the next day...
saman brought us to angkor mondial for buffet dinner and the famous apsara dance (traditional cambodian dance), apsara being the fairy in cambodian's mythology.
buffet dinner: USD12/person
gosh... the dances were so slow and each movement so meticulous n calculated, it's really lulling me to sleep! well, it's no wonder, i've not slept for more than 24 hours! so we left before the performance ended. the dining hall was nearly empty by then anyway...
well, it's been a long and tiring day! zzZZZzzzzzZZzz...

CHIPPEWA TWP. � It might have been a classic case of lost and found, but the �found� in this case was more than $2,500 in cash and a small amount of marijuana.
Chippewa Township police reported they were called to the Wal-Mart on Route 51 around 8 p.m. Feb. 23, after a customer found a package containing the cash and the drugs in the store parking lot.
The customer took the package, which contained $2,713 in cash, to the store�s customer service center. Wal-Mart employees called police from there.
According to the criminal complaint, officers retrieved the package and had taken it to the station when they received another call from Wal-Mart.
The owner of the package had arrived.
Police said Wesley Clark, 18, of 1402 Leger Fork Road, Tyner, Ky., showed up at the store�s customer service desk asking for his package.
Clark readily admitted the marijuana � found in a clear plastic bag inside the package, but separate from the money � was his, according to police. He is charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The cash was returned to Clark, who said the money was from an accident insurance claim.
Chippewa Police Chief Clint Berchtold said there was not enough evidence to tie the money to a drug violation.
�It was such a small amount of the illegal substance,� he said. �If it would have been a larger amount, we might have deemed it as intent to deliver, and we might have wanted to hold that money to prove it wasn�t dirty or due to other transactions involving drugs.�
Berchtold was unsure whether Clark presented officers with proof the money was from an insurance claim.
Since Clark was traveling from Pittsburgh back to Kentucky, Berchtold also said it was reasonable that Clark was carrying such a large amount of money for traveling expenses.
He did not know why Clark was in Beaver County, but said officers understood he would be returning shortly to his hometown in Kentucky.
He guessed Clark might not have known the package had been opened by Wal-Mart employees and its contents revealed before police arrived.
�He was willing to say it was my package, though,� Berchtold said. �He was willing to take the hit for the marijuana charge to get the cash back.�

Outdoor enthusiasts usually plan their vacations based on the outdoor activity opportunities that the location has to offer. With thousands of places to choose from, it may be difficult to decide one place, or general area, to travel to. That's why we have created a list of the best five locations to travel to for outdoor enthusiasts!
Sydney, Australia
The first location on our list is Sydney, Australia. As one of the most popular destinations, to travel to, in the world, Sydney offers an array of outdoor activities. But, the most popular is mountaineering. One of the most popular mountaineering locations in Sydney is The Three Sisters. The Three Sisters is a mountain range, with three mountains, in the Blue Mountains.
Vermont, United States
Travel to Vermont to experience humongous snowy mountains. Located in the northeast section of the United States, Vermont is home to miles of untouched snowy terrain. Thus, it is the best location for skiing. One of the best places to ski in Vermont is Jay Peak. Jay Peak houses over 50 miles of ski trails, 385 acres of land, seven ski lefts, and the most recommended glade skiing. Thus, whether you are a beginner skier, or an expert skier, Vermont has something to offer you.
Phuket, Thailand
If you enjoy everything that involves exploring a body water, then travel to Phuket, Thailand! Phuket is a tropical paradise that should be on everyone's destination bucket list. Phuket is most notably home to Patong Beach, which offers bright white sand, miles of palm trees, and the crystallized Andaman Sea. Thus, Phuket is the perfect location for surfing, snorkeling, and scuba diving!
Alberta, Canada
If you're someone who is looking for an amazing location to backcountry ski, then travel to Alberta, Canada! Located within the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Alberta is home to unspoiled wilderness full of fresh and plush snow. A popular place for backcountry skiing, in Alberta, is the Wapta Icefields. The Wapta Icefields is an extensive stretch of land that is home to huge glaciers, moderately tall peaks, and fresh snow. Thus, it is perfect for beginner to intermediate backcountry skiers.
Queenstown, New Zealand
Our last destination is Queenstown, New Zealand. Travel to Queenstown to experience its luscious, dense, and remote mountains. Since these towering mountains are either remote, or near a small town, and the surrounding area is full of bridge pathways, this location is perfect for bungee jumping, paragliding, or hang gliding! Out of those three activities, bungee jumping is the most popular in Queenstown. In fact, back in the day, bungee jumping was what put Queenstown on the map for outdoor enthusiasts and thrill seekers everywhere!

- Nectar for the Gods Herculean Harvest Liquid Bone Meal Qt
Product Description
WOW best describes this product. Like no other liquid bone meal in the industry, Herculean will make things happen. Rich in calcium phosphate, liquid bone meal serves two major purposes in an indoor garden: As a feed, Herculean will promote stronger cell strength, solid stems and heavier fruit; As a flush, bone meal will tie up unwanted salts and facilitate the uptake of macro nutrients.
Steamed bone meal.
Hercules was known for his strength and power: a perfect name for a product that gives your plants just that. Herculean Harvest increases the availability of calcium and phosphorus to your plants and soil, producing a wide range of benefits to plant health, structure and flavor, contributing to a vigorous soil food web and improving accessibility of nutrients. The active ingredient in bone meal, calcium phosphate, helps to carry all nutrients to the plant, except for nitrogen and potassium. Calcium is essential for supplying plant growth energy in order to sustain life and growth, and promotes solid stems through stronger cell development. Calcium also increases the cation exchange capacity of soils, making nutrients more available to microbial activity and ultimately to the plant. The addition of Herculean Harvest to any nutrient line will increase size, aroma and flavor of the plants' fruit. It also aides in washing salt from a potting soil or soilless medium, and can be used as part of a soil flush solution.
When growing fruit producing plants we have all been told to spend ten to fourteen days at the end of the plants life cycle flushing out any nutrient flavor that has occurred during the life of the plant. However, we find that this information is misleading. Once a plant is built and designed with a salt based fertilizer and all the cells in the stems,leaves and fruit have been built it is not an easy task to remove that flavor from a plant. Our customers have run many trials and have found that by feeding a calcium based regimen all the way through, with the last five to seven days feeding Herculean Harvest, Aphrodites Extraction, and Olympus Up as a sweetener not only did the quality of fruit improve, but they also saw a yield increase. Plants need that last stage in their lives (fall) to translocate all the sugars that they worked so hard to make through photosynthesis during their life span and relocate them into the fruit. Calcium from Herculean Harvest, Aphrodite's Extraction and Olympus Up aid in this process while adding extra flavor.
