It was an extremely costly victory for the
Although magnetic resonance imaging exams will be conducted Monday, there was immediate fear that Lewis tore his right triceps and that Webb tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to multiple sources.
Sources cautioned, though, that nothing is concrete on Lewis or Webb until more extensive examinations are performed.
Neither player was able to finish the Ravens' 31-29 victory over the Cowboys at M&T Bank Stadium as Webb got hurt in the first quarter and Lewis was injured late in the fourth quarter.
"Lardarius Webb does not look good right now," Coach
Although Harbaugh downplayed Lewis' injury, saying, "I don't think it's really bad," and adding, "He had a triceps issue, but I don't know how serious," the team was worried afterward that the two-time
"Nothing definitive," a source with knowledge of the situation said Sunday night. "He responded well to treatment tonight, however. We'll know tomorrow. It's wait and see for now."
If Lewis is sidelined or out for the remainder of the season, the Ravens would likely move starting linebacker
Lewis has drawn criticism recently for his declining range and ability to shed blocks, but leads the team with 57 tackles and is the Ravens' emotional leader. But at age 37, would a season-ending injury to Lewis be a potential career-ending injury?
Before the injury, Lewis recorded a game-high 14 tackles but the Cowboys' running backs ran roughshod over a traditionally stingy defense that allowed 227 rushing yards, a franchise record. The previous record was 222 yards surrendered to the
The Ravens are playing without outside linebacker
When he got hurt in the first quarter, Webb immediately grabbed his left knee and was in obvious pain. Trainers helped him off the field to the locker room and he was barely able to put any weight on his leg.
"You hate to see a guy go down like that because he's worked his tail off," strong safety
The Ravens inserted
Williams intercepted his third pass in the past three games, but
the defense will be hard-pressed to duplicate Webb's tackling ability, cover skills and ability to shut down opponents' top wide receivers.
"It's unfortunate," Williams said. "Webbie is more than just a teammate and a friend. He's like my brother. My heart goes out to him. I pray for him that he has a speedy recovery."
Special-teams contributor
Webb intercepted eight passes last season, including three in the playoffs. This season, Webb had 25 tackles, one interception, six pass deflections, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
"It's going to hurt the team a lot," Brown said of Webb's injury. "That's a chance for somebody else to step up and keep the flow going. Webb is a playmaker, a great player. He means a lot to the defense. We're going to miss him."
Webb tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee as a rookie and had it surgically repaired by Dr. James Andrews.
Webb was signed to a $50 million contract extension last spring and is indisputably the Ravens' top cornerback.
"It's terrible to see your friend and teammate go down like that, especially with the type of injury he had already had to overcome in his career," said Smith, a first-round draft pick last year from Colorado. "It's a big loss. Our hearts go out to him, but, at the same time, it's next man up as always.
"I'm ready. I've been waiting my turn and I've just got to go out there and keep making plays."

That wasn't the only thing. How about Curly Dock. There it was, growing on the edge of the field. Lovely curly leaves just waiting to be picked. This is one of my favorite "weeds". As I understand it, dock was the original spinach before farmers got their hands on it and started to plant the hybid spinach. It used to be you could collect this to your hearts content and be filled with good food. Today, it is more difficult to find what with all the construction and grooming that goes on. Nevertheless, there is nothing like a plate of Curly Dock to make a happy dinner.
This evening I prepared some with its brother, the spinach. I washed the dock and the spinach and coursely chopped it. In a saute pan I melted a nice knob of butter and, when it was completely melted I threw in the, still damp, mix of greens. Immediately I put a lid on the mix and cooked it on low for about 5 minutes...just enough to wilt all the greens. Let's say that this was one of the finest fall meals I've enjoyed. Hopefully, you will try it in the days ahead.
Lastly, mushrooms are in short supply. There has been the occassional Hen of the Woods but, for the most part there is a shortage due to the lack of water. Here's hoping that spring is better in the fungus family.

I haven't posted for a long time because the neighborhood telephone cable was stolen. I had no local phone line and no Internet for two months. The timing was really unfortunate since it coincided with the end of the school year for the children. I had plans for them on the Internet! As people say, this is Africa and sometimes these things happen.
What has happened in the last two months? We went back to America and visited some of our cousins on my husband's side. We got to meet our newest baby cousin, who was only nine months old. We visited Cape Cod and hung out in Boston. There was a real heat wave with a heat index topping out at 105 F. In South Africa, it was topping out around 50 F. Even with the body melting weather, the cousins really loved seeing each other. I wish I could have seen my side of the family as well but they live no where near Massachusetts. Next year.
While in America we ate great volumes of junk food that we missed like: Chinese chicken nuggets (aka General Tso's chicken,) Dunkin Donuts Boston Creme donuts, bagels with cream cheese, Cape Cod fudge (from the Fudge Factory in Providence Town- best place on the Cape,) pizza, burritos, Tostitos and ice cream. I think we all gained a few pounds.
Back home in South Africa, the children and I kept ourselves busy at the zoo, playing, and visiting parks. One of our favorite parks here is Moreleta Kloof Nature Reserve. It is near our home and has a lot of wildlife. We usually see ostrich, zebra, blesbok and springbok strolling about every time we visit. You don't even have to go to a game park to get some great wildlife views here.
We are looking forward to spring and hopefully some visitors in October and December.

You're going to Chiang Mai? You must go to Pai! Said everyone. Best advice I took- besides the advice of coming to Thailand of course.
Pai is a little chill town in the north of Thailand. A four hour bus ride from Chiang Mai through windy hair pin roads known to jolt stomachs (if you are at all sensitive to motion sickness- do yourself and everyone a favor and take the tablets beforehand). Don't opt out on this trip though because of the horror stories- the views are worth it!
This hippy retreat in the mountains is the perfect place to slow down the pace and appreciate the incredible landscape. What did I do in Pai? Honestly a whole lot of nothing which was so nice for a change. Rather than having plans lined up I allowed myself these three days for exploring and living in the moment.
The best way to do this- rent a motorbike- this way you can come and go as you please and ride through the mountains from sunrise to sunset if you desire. I rented my bike at Happy Pai Rentals for 150 THB a day.
I spent my days puttering from cafe to cafe, up mountain look outs and through rice paddies. It's so easy to just drive aimlessly and soak in the hippie vibes. There's a saying that "all roads lead to Pai" which is very much the truth. I barely needed to glance down at my map- always ending up back in town somehow.
Pam Bok Falls was a nice stop along the way. Definitely not the most spectacular waterfall (especially after Laos) but this is a great place to cool off and chill as you make your rounds. We also went to the hot springs which were a bit too crowded for my liking- and the ride there was what made the experience. Another sight to see is the canyon which supposedly is best at sunset- I was too chilled out the even make the ride there though- maybe next time 🙂
The night markets were my favorite in all of SEA. There is something authentic and organic about the experience. You feel like you are really buying from the source and the artist. I also bought the best organic soap here! And the food…. is amazing. From pad thai, to curries, indian, even mexican. It's all so good.
Favorite Cafes:
The Container Cafe
This view is hard to beat. You literally hang in a birds cage chair floating over the mountain valley sipping an iced latte. I could have sat here all day.
Cafe whose name I forget but is worth the stop
This zen cafe and garden is right before the Container Cafe also on the left if you are heading out of the main town of Pai. The seating is comfy floor style, the breakfast is delicious, and the garden is magical. And there are cute dogs!
Art in Chai
The name says it all. This hidden cafe in an alleyway is dynamic. Perfect for morning coffee or tea, late afternoon treats, or even better evening dessert with entertainment of talented live music or Thursday night Spoken Word.
Earth Tone
Perfect for lunch while out on a ride through the scenery. I could have eaten here every day, every meal. This vegetarian and vegan friendly cafe has a variety of mouth watering options. From smoothies bowls, tempeh salad, sandwiches, hummus, etc. There's also a little health shop which has a variety of earthy supplements and cosmetics.
Mama Falafel
Okay so maybe I just love anywhere I can find a falafel but this was so delicious after spending a whole day on the road in the sun. And the french fries were crisp 🙂
We stayed at Pai Laguna. A bit out of the town and definitely only a good location if you are going to rent the motorbike which you should! It's super chill and closer to the mountain views. The owner is really sweet and even gave us a ride to the bus station. It's not luxury but has a nice vibe and the way the dorms are set up it has more of an apartment feel. We were in a female dorm- two floors with two bathrooms and only three beds per floor. Also with a cool balcony!
Another place we ran into was The Moon at Pai. The staff here seemed really friendly, more than reasonable prices for these bungalows, and one of the best views in all of Pai in my opinion.
But really even the dogs are hippies… This pal hopped on my bike looking to hitch a ride.

The very best Dietary supplements on your Immune Method
The Amazing Human Human body
The iImmune technique is really a genuinely astounding system. Research has uncovered that it's got many miracles that humans are not able to fully grasp or replicate regardless of the sophisticated technology currently accessible.
Your body has about a hundred trillion cells which make up every one of the organs, bones, muscular tissues, tissue, eyes, pores and skin along with the other system elements Herbal Soman. About eight million cells die just about every next and are replaced by new cells, continuously revitalising the human body. These trillions of cells carry out tens of millions, otherwise billions of complex activities just about every second of every minute of one's existence, irrespective if you are awake or asleep. Your body can be an "electric machine" that triggers these actions principally by way of enzymes that carry out complicated chemical reactions which might detect and instantaneously connect with, and handle every single friendly cell in your human body. This is significantly extra effective and smart than any identified pc that exists now.
The Wonder in the Immune Method
If the human system didn't have an "Immune System" we would need to completely are in a germ-free sealed plastic tent, or we'd die inside of a couple times.
Irrespective of where you live, we're all surrounded and attacked by microorganisms or microforms. If these pathogenic microbes get into our bodies they build the ideal environment for condition. As Robert Young Ph.D. a leading microbiologist and nutritionist states, "We reside in a very plague of "microforms" including yeasts, fungus and moulds at the same time as microbes and viruses." These microforms attack our cells and create toxic acidic waste while in the physique that has an effect on healthful cells causing many health conditions.
So how does the body shield us from these overseas invaders as well as the resulting conditions?
The Body's "Defence Force"
That will help you have an understanding of the broad complexities of the incredible Wonder with the Immune Method along with the remarkable events that occur constantly in our bodies, to stop the invaders from causing sickness, this shorter summary has simplified the complexities by likening the bodies "Immune System" to your nicely organised, cellular, particularly disciplined, highly intelligent and efficient "Defence Pressure."
The "Defence Force's" mission is usually to guard the body in any respect times, by avoiding invaders (antigens) from crossing the front line, or doing away with those who deal with to get in to the human body.
Invaders mainly enter the body as a result of the food items we take in, what we consume and what we breathe in, nonetheless they're able to also enter by the skin, eyes, ears, nose and mouth. This suggests that our "Defence Force" must be notify in the slightest degree times, guarding all these together with other spots on the human body. It's approximated that there are about 1 trillion cells while in the "Defence Force".
But the place do the "Defence Force" warriors originate from and exactly how do they get qualified to understand the primary difference between welcoming cells and foreign invader cells which might be harming your body?
The Immune Technique "Production Centres"
It all starts while in the "Bone Marrow." This manufacturing unit constantly generates several different distinctive cells from stem cells, all with their own precise roles and regulate mechanisms. These include the trillions of immune process "warriors" of which there are 2 primary groups consisting of eight most important "fighting" groups. The very first line of defence tend to be the foot soldiers (phagocytes and macrophages), plus the authentic combating heroes would be the B-Cells, T-Cells and Pure Killer (NK) Cells (lymphocytes).
Then now we have the "Training Academy." The Thymus, perceived to generally be an unintelligent chunk of meat, which trains trillions of Immune Cells (lymphocytes), that happen to be so little they may be invisible to the naked eye, and also have no known intelligence in them, to detect hundreds of thousands of different mobile forms and international invaders (antigens) from the physique. What's far more amazing, is the fact these cells can establish every single friendly cell as well as "identity" of each on the invaders, and generate a selected weapon (antibody) to do away with every specific invader. Then they shop that details to make sure that if ever that invader kind is identified all over again it's going to promptly be wiped out. This is the purpose you only get particular conditions at the time, like mumps, measles and chicken pox. Exploration has revealed the immune programs weapons factory (B Cells) can generate and memorise about one million diverse antibodies for distinct invaders. In which do they get this information from? – nobody knows! Keep in mind lots of these cells only live for a limited whilst, so this information must be continuously passed on to new cells. This is certainly unquestionably miraculous, as only "if" a mobile has "consciousness", "memory" and also the electrical power of "reasoning" can it's able to processing and communicating this knowledge. Gentleman hasn't still been ready to fathom out how this functions nevertheless!
Then there may be the multipurpose Spleen. Bone marrow only arrives into production as soon as a child is born, so to safeguard the newborn from antigens while within the womb, the Spleen provides each of the needed Immune warriors. When the little one is born the Bone Marrow commences making plus the Spleen mainly controls the deployment with the Immune warriors to the several spots which they consistently patrol, just like the blood stream, Lymphatic process, salivary glands, joints and tonsils, wanting to discover international invaders. If anytime there may be an immune reaction that requires massive numbers of warriors, then the Spleen will help out and develop the additional warriors demanded. Imagine the entire instantaneous communications needed involving these hundreds of thousands of cells to regulate these immune responses and ensuing battles.
Then the last output centre, but a person in the most important and miraculous, is definitely the Lymph Nodes. The Lymphatic Technique, a crucial element of the Immune Process, is much larger compared to the blood stream, with lymphatic vessels achieving all tissues and cells in every single element of your body. The Lymphatic Process incorporates a "Police Force" patrolling your entire overall body, by using a "Police Intelligence" group collecting and storing information about cells and invaders.
The Lymph fluid continuously flows all over the entire human body and carries the "intelligence gatherers" who check all people on the 100 trillion cells some instances on a daily basis, passing info back towards the "Police Stations" (the Lymph Nodes). This information will likely be saved along with the "police" will respond to any alarm by generating the particular sort of "Policemen" (immune warriors) necessary. This information and facts will be promptly communicated to many of the necessary battling and help groups as well as essential warriors will probably be mobilised towards the battlefield to reduce the invaders, clean up up the battlefield and normalise the human body features.
The continuing War Against the International Enemies
The Immune Techniques "Defence Force" is absolutely prepared and on duty protecting your body in the slightest degree moments. This entails six unique prepared and integrated levels which they repeatedly carry out to keep you wholesome:
• The establishment and servicing on the "Defence Force"
• The identification in the Enemy
• Schooling and mobilising the various forces on the battlefield
• Delivering the Assistance Companies on the forces
• Speaking and recording all aspects of just about every battle
• Clean up up the Battlefields and Normalise all overall body features
Boosting Immunity
You now have an understanding of just a little little bit more about the astounding "Immune System" and the way vital it truly is to acquire it performing at its peak in the slightest degree periods. But how do you accomplish that?
By adequately feeding your immune program together with the suitable nutrients boosts its preventing electric power by raising the volume of troops while in the Defence Pressure and making certain that they are "battle ready" whatsoever periods.

At $135 a barrel, the world's oil bill will account for eight per cent of global economic output, twice what it was in 2006.
Robust demand for crude and a weak dollar have fuelled the rally from a dip below $50 at the start of 2007. Adjusted for inflation, oil is now above the $101.70 peak hit in April 1980, a year after the Iranian revolution.
Is the weak dollar one of the reasons?
The fall in the value of the dollar against other major currencies has helped drive buying across commodities as investors view dollar assets as relatively cheap. The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, source of more than a third of the world's oil, started to reduce oil output in late 2006 to stem a fall in prices. Fewer Opec barrels entering the market helped propel the rally.

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, source of more than a third of the world's oil, started to reduce oil output in late 2006 to stem a fall in prices. Fewer Opec barrels entering the market helped propel the rally.
While consumer nations led by the International Energy Agency have urged Opec to pump more oil, Opec says there is enough crude in the market. Few in the group believe there is much it can do to tame a market it says defies logic.
What about speculation?
While previous price spikes have been triggered by supply disruptions, demand from top consumers the United States and China is a main driver of the current rally.
The US Department of Energy estimates that American demand will sag by just 200,000 barrels per day this year, less than one per cent of the 20.7 million BPD total.
Oil demand in China was up eight per cent in March from a year earlier, the fastest growth since 2006. The market cannot exactly do its thing in a country that subsidises fuel. Sinopec, the Chinese oil company, lost $2bn in the first quarter of this year from price controls.
While demand is the main driver now, supply disruptions do play a role? Supply of crude from Nigeria, the world's eighth-largest oil exporter, has been cut since February 2006 because of rebel attacks on the country's oil industry. Oil companies and trading sources say 564,000 bpd of Nigerian production has stopped flowing into the market.

While there are concerns about supply disruption from Iran, another major producer, Iraq, is struggling to get its oil industry back on its feet after decades of wars, sanctions and underinvestment.
Exports of Kirkuk crude from northern Iraq are stabilising as the system recovers from technical problems that had mostly idled the pipeline since the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
You would think that $120 a barrel would spur oil companies to explore more. Even the most technically challenging and capital-intensive projects like the Canadian oil sands and deepwater Gulf of Mexico prospects require no more than $50 per barrel to be in the black.
But energy companies are a cautious lot. Only a decade ago oil plunged to $10 a barrel and companies are not yet willing to bet prices stay at current levels. BP, for one, still uses $60 as its price peg for evaluating new projects.
There is only so much capacity in the oil-finding business. Oilfield capital costs have doubled since 2005. Shortages of people, steel and machinery have doubled the cost of some oil sands projects in Canada.
In February 2007, ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum cancelled plans for a $7bn plant to convert methane into synthetic diesel in natural-gas-rich Qatar. According to the Middle East Economic Digest, a tonne of steel in Qatar costs $4,000 today, twice the price four months ago; cement is in severe shortage, while aggregate rock has tripled in price over five years.

Why oil price keep rising?
Will Oil Price drop back to US$100?
All eyes will be on the Jeddah energy meeting when market expect expect Saudi Arabia to pump more crude in the market , whether this move will help to stabilise the oil price will remain to see...
Saudi Arabia and other producers with oil to spare could agree to raise output at an emergency meeting of energy powers and consumers.
Saudi Arabia said on Saturday that it would pump more crude if the market required it in order to stabilise the price of oil, which has hit a record of almost $140 a barrel.
"We will meet demand. If demand requires more crude, we shall sell it," Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, the deputy oil minister, said ahead of a meeting of producers and consumers in Jeddah.
"The kingdom's policy is based on supply and demand. If there is more demand, it is natural to offer more crude," Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said.
"Everyone knows that there is going to be more crude dumped onto the market after some kind of decision on Sunday, whether that has any effect is another question," he said.
"Most of what the Saudi Arabians have said they are going to produce in addition ... everyone knew that this oil was coming on stream, there is no new crude here.
"The reality is Opec doesn't have a great deal more oil to produce."
The meeting in Jeddah, hosted by Saudi King Abdullah, will feature Abdullah al-Badri, the Opec secretary-general.
"As many as 38 countries, four international organisations and 30 oil companies have agreed to attend the conference, at which the British prime minister Gordon Brown will give an address," a Saudi statement said.
Xi Jinping, China's vice-president, will also attend.
The Asian nation accounts for about 40 per cent of recent growth in global oil consumption.
Saudi Arabia, which is the world's biggest oil exporter, has a policy of keeping a cushion of spare capacity and has said other Opec members that can bring on extra production quickly would also discuss boosting output to try to tame the oil rally.
"The short-term policies to be discussed include the proposal that those Opec countries that have spare capacity should boost supply, just like Saudi Arabia has announced it will do in July," a senior Gulf Opec official told the Reuters news agency.
Looking to the longer term, the source also said Saudi Arabia would consider increasing its capacity beyond an existing goal of 12.5 million bpd by the end of next year.
However, Dan Lewis from the Economic Reserach Council told Al Jazeera that Opec was becoming increasingly irrelevant to setting the global oil price.
"Its importance has been exaggerated for some time," he said.
"What is interesting is that Saudi Arabia, which currently produce 9.5m barrels a day, does have spare capacity that could take it up another two million.
"But it is unlikely that they are going to put it up that much because its in their long term interest to keep their reserves in the ground as the price goes higher."
Those gains were a reversal of a heavy fall in prices following China's unexpected decision to raise the retail price of petrol and diesel by up to 18 per cent.
US July crude rose $2.69 to settle at $134.62 a barrel, off highs of $136.80. London Brent was up $2.86 at $134.86.
Forecasts the previous day had suggested that the move by China would hurt demand, but some analysts now say consumption could rise as the price increase will encourage healthier supply at the pumps.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
When Carl Icahn Speaks about Corporate Governance
Recently, there has been a great deal of outrage concerning the huge pay and severance packages awarded to a number of CEOs. There has been much criticism of the fact that CEOs earn 520 times that of the average worker. A great deal has been made of the scandalous actions of a number of CEOs and boards concerning the backdating of options. Sadly, a much deeper, more pernicious, more threatening problem of the future of our economy exists at today's corporations: many corporate boards and managers are doing an abysmal job. The lack of competent leadership makes our companies less competitive day by day, causing an upward spiraling trade and current account deficit, as well as a near meltdown of the financial sector. The buildup of incompetent boards and managers is the result of poor corporate governance. Poor corporate governance now threatens more than just potential shareholder value; it threatens this country's very economic survival.
To paraphrase Winston Churchill, "democracy might not be the greatest system there is but it is the greatest system mankind has invented so far." Many American corporations are dysfunctional because corporate democracy is a myth in the United States. They run like a decaying socialistic state. Our boards and CEOs exist in a symbiotic relationship where the boards nourish the CEO with massive stock options that are re-priced downward if the companies stock declines - making them forever valuable. They reward the CEO with pay packages and bonuses when the stock is floundering or the CEO is leaving the company. Corporate performance and the shareholders welfare seldom enter the picture. What kind of democracy is this? There is no accountability.
The inherent quid pro quo is to pay the board huge retainers for attending several meetings per year and rubber stamp ill conceived CEO proposals. In turn, a CEO can fly around the world on the company's private jet on the "business" of visiting all the world's greatest golf courses while he runs the company – and the value of your stock – into the ground. The average shareholder can do nothing about it. A great example is the subprime mortgage mess that has cost our economy and the populace untold billions of dollars and personal hardship. These losses did not stop boards from awarding huge severance packages to the CEOs most responsible for the current carnage.
It is the board's responsibility to hold a CEO accountable, and remove the CEO if he or she is not producing results. But exacting such a measure requires effort and strategic consideration, and boards are often too lazy and/or passive to rock the boat, especially since the company will continue to pay and pamper and even indemnify them under almost any circumstances. Board members receive expensive tickets to important sporting events, the theatre, and are also treated to use of the company's fleet. Worst of all, the board itself is not made accountable because corporate board elections are generally a joke.
Board meetings are often a complete travesty. I know because I have sat and do sit on a number of boards where I am in the minority. Because of this, today our economy is in a major crisis. Many of our companies are incapable of competing. Additionally our banking system has issued mortgages that cannot and will not be paid back. We are in this situation because there is no leadership in the executive suite. Why did we get here? Because in corporate America there are no true elections. It is tyranny parading as democracy. It's a poison running through the blood of corporate America. Perhaps, with enough public support, the lawmakers and regulators will take note.
When you rid a company of a fruitless board, the rewards are often enormous because the underlying company and its employees can be excellent. It is the top level management that hangs like an albatross around the company's neck. Years from now historians will marvel why we the shareholders – the legitimate owners of companies – did not do something effective about removing terrible managements. We can do something about the current situation. I will discuss in future entries how simple it can be and what has constrained us from taking action.

When Malaysian Become Heartless
JOHOR BARU: A restaurant worker who flagged a passing car for help to save his dying mother was instead robbed and beaten unconscious by the occupants of the vehicle.
Foo: Died from an asthma attack.
By the time help arrived about two hours later, his mother had died from an asthma attack.
The incident occurred in Skudai yesterday when Moh Cheng Mau, 39, returned home from work around 3am to find his mother, Foo Yoon Yew, 63, fighting for her life.
Cheng Mau left his mother near the door of their home along Jalan Hang Jebat 52 in the care of his younger brother Seng Fong, 37, and ran to stop a taxi about 100m away from their home.
According to the victim's elder brother, Mok Aik Kuan, 41, the taxi refused to stop and Cheng Mau then flagged down a dark-coloured car with four men inside.
"He begged them for help and got into the vehicle when they told him that he had to follow them to get an ambulance," he said.
Badly hurt: Cheng Mau recuperating at the Sultanah Aminah Hospital Monday.
Aik Kuan said the men stopped the car near a graveyard about 300m away from the house, beat his brother unconscious and robbed him of a handphone and around RM500 in cash.
According to him, by the time his brother regained consciousness and staggered back home, it was past 5am.
Neighbours then called the ambulance and police, he said.
Aik Kuan said the ambulance took his brother to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital for treatment as his mother had died at about 5.40am.
"Cheng Mau's face and body were swollen. Two of his ribs were broken," he said, adding that his brother had also been repeatedly kicked and stepped on with studded shoes.
Nusajaya OCPD Supt Abd Aziz Ahmad urged those with information to call 07-221 2999.
Who says an employee cannot become a millionaire?谁说打工仔与百万无缘?
"投资要趁早"是因为趁早投资,有足够的时间来累积财富。 累积财富,需要时间。 时间与风险成正比,时间长、风险低;时间短、风险高。 时间可以创造奇迹。 许多人有一种错误的想法,以为只有非常特殊的人,才有资格成为百万富翁。 其实,只要有恒心,方向正确,加上时间,每一个普通的打工仔,在退休时,都有资格成为百万富翁。
要挤身于百万之榜,需俱备两个条件: 条件一:每个月储蓄300令吉,30年不中断。
这里有四个数字需要说明: 第一个数字:30年,为何30年?理由是25岁时找到第一份职业,工作至55岁退休,刚好30年。
第二个数字:300令吉,为何300令吉?理由是工作第一年的月薪可能是2千令吉,拨出300令吉作为储蓄,是可轻易做得到的,不会影响生活素质。 反对为储蓄勒紧腰带 我反对为了储蓄要勒紧腰带,因为这样会影响生活素质。投资致富可以轻松做到,不需要受苦,但要有纪律。
第三个数字:12%的复利增长率,为何12%,而不是10%或15%? 理由是12%是大部份肯化心思的投资者,都可以取得的投资回报率。 美国过去200年的股票投资回酬率为每年10%,但是大马是成长率较高的发展中国家,应该可以取得较高的回酬率,12%是可以做到的。
第四个数字:常年复利增长率(annualised compounded growth),就是常人所说的"利上加利"。 年头投资100令吉,回报为12%,到年尾时本金加投资所得利润12令吉,下一年的本金为112令吉,如此不断地把投资所得利润加到本金去,重复下去,就叫"复利增长"。
长期以复利的方式增长,可以创造奇迹。 全球的富豪,都是通过这种方式成就的。 为什么要选择股票? 因为现在的股票交易,每单位为100股,每个人都买得起。不像买屋子,需要一笔数目颇大的"头期",刚开始工作的打工仔无法负担。 那么,每年要取得12%的回酬,做得到吗? 我的经验是,如果只买五星级股票,着重股息的话,大部份人都可以做得到。 目前有不少五星级股票,周息率高达8%,如果长期持有,股票每年增值5%,就可以取得13%的回酬,超过12%的目标。
③把资源耗费在消费性的资产上,如买豪华汽车以"威"人,十五万的车子十年后价值只剩五万,十五万的投资可以轻易增值至五十万,五万与五十万刚好相差十倍。 所以不要把储蓄消耗在贬值性的资产上。
你的汽车只应占你的财富的10%,超过此数,便属浪费,有理财头脑的人不会这样做。 薪金到手马上储蓄 无法控制消费欲望是大部份人的弱点,也是理财计划的致命伤。大部份领到公积金后,在三年中花个清光,便是明证。
请坚守一个原则,每月薪金一到手,马上取出300令吉,放进储蓄户口,只花剩下的部份。 绝对不要花到月尾,才把剩余的存入储蓄户口,你会发现,未到月底已把薪水花光,结果是一月复一月,一年复一年,如王小二过年,一年不如一年,到退休时仍两袖清风,还要拖着疲乏的"老身"继续把工打下去。 你想这样吗?
有恒心地储蓄,绝不半途而废,坚持只买五星级股票,只要公司盈利继续上升,就不卖。让复利把你的财富如雪球般,越滚越大,你会发现,你可以轻轻松松的在30年后,登上百万富翁的宝座。 如果你嫌每个月储蓄300令吉麻烦,每年储蓄及投资4千令吉,也可以达到同样的效果。

Buy Property, Prosperity For Life 买房子 有钱一辈子
何振顺讲解了巴生谷内的产业增长范围,并推荐所谓的"区位重心"(locational center-of-gravity)。 巴生谷续成第一发展区 他表示,巴生谷会继续成为大马第一发展区,因为它的发展与全球的都市化趋势是一致的。 "
在最新的房价索引指出,吉隆坡的资本增值率为第一,槟城位于第二,而雪州位于第三" "八打灵新市已被遴选为巴生谷未来的中心,因为它能通往其它巴生谷的区域。这一区虽没有最高的房地产价,但在十五公里内已涵盖95%的医院及医疗中心。" 在2007年里,金三角毫无疑问成为发展最为迅速的地区,它的价值在两年内增加一倍。 他建议,鉴于金三角以及满家乐是巴生谷的热点,因此,可多关注离八打灵市十五公里内的第一期建筑。
金房地产仲介行董事黄用心 先查询发展商背景 黄用心指出,民众在购买房子时,应多花时间实地研究及考察、了解了发展商的背景以及工程,而不是轻信朋友或广告就冲动地作出购屋的决定。 "很多人一辈子省下的钱就用来买房子,但买房子不像在巴刹买菜,它需要花时间、精神进行研究。产业发展商都有陈列室,购屋者不妨实地了解。此外,购屋者也不要轻信朋友或广告,冲动地作出购屋的决定。"
每个购屋者在购置产业时都有不同的理念,因此,黄用心建议购屋者在购置产业前,须清楚知道本身购置产业的出发点。若购屋者的出发点并非居住,那么就得考虑产业的流动性。 "不论购买任何产业,都须考虑到它的土地产权形式是属于永久或非永久地契。" 他解释:"你必须清楚明白,任何租赁产业若要转手都需要一段较长的时期,而永久地契产业的转手时间可能仅需3至4个月。若忽略这点,未来脱售产业就可能面临问题。" 他建议,若购屋者是寻找增值的产业,可购买店铺、独立洋房以及排屋。 "一般上排屋的回酬不会太高,约2%至3%或低于这水平。虽然独立洋房以及排屋的租金回酬不太高,但却有不俗的资本增值。"
他亦透露,购屋者除了可透过发展商购置产业外,也能透过拍卖购置产业。 "市场上有不少产业是买家无法偿还贷款,银行就会透过拍卖师拍卖产业。有些产业地点不错,且比市价低20%至30%,这可能是个好机会。" 他再次提醒民众,在购置拍卖产业时,购屋者一定要先透过各种管道,了解以及探讨产业的细节。
亿达法务办事处的陈佐彬律师 了解合约及法律文件 陈佐彬律师提醒购屋者,必须了解所签署的合约以及法律文件上应注意的事项。 目前,购屋者向发展商购屋有两种形式,即先售后建以及先建后售的形式。 陈佐彬指出,根据先售后建的形式,缺陷责任期从之前的18个月变成24个月,这加强了购屋者的权益。 委托者将以信托保管者的身份,保存产业买价的5%,并确保24个月内一切完成无缺。 "消费者在购屋时,有部分的钱是交给律师管理。譬如,购买10万令吉的房子,其中5%的资金是由委托的律师保管。
当发展商在24个月后呈交房子时,买家得知房子出现裂痕或不满的地方,可要求发展商维修缺陷,事后再依据程序向委托的律师索回修理经费。" 另外,在先建后售的形式下,他称,买家只需交还产业买价的10%,其余的90%将在房屋竣工与移交后缴付。 陈佐彬说:"这个形式对买家来说会更有保障,因为它能排除发展中途荒废或停工的风险。" 不过,他透露,在先建后售的形式下的缺陷责任期也是24个月,不同在于,这个形式并没有5%的资金被委托律师扣留或保存,而是直接对发展商。 "在这形式下,若买家得知建筑物缺陷,可向发展商投诉,发展商有责任修理缺陷。若发展商不肯,买家能在自己修理后,向发展商索回修理经费。因此,这形式是直接对发展商。"
超越节息高级节息顾问王千岚 谨慎选择贷款配套 王千岚指出,大马部分人都没有谨慎选择贷款配套,而是在事后才打算以后如何处理贷款。 "贷款人签署了合约后才发现到合约的限制或罚款,变成贷款人在完全不晓得自己的权利之下,签署了一份不公平的合约。"
他说:"大马的贷款出现不透明的问题,因为大马的金融机构内缺乏两项保护贷款人的法律,分别是(一)抵押-稽查法令(Mortgage-Audit Act)、(二)不公正合约条款法令(Unfair Contract Term Act)。" "在美国存有抵押-稽查法令,而超越节息(马)有限公司用9年向有关当局争取上述两个法令,但最终还是没有结果。因此,现在只能透过教育方式唤醒贷款人对贷款的保障。" 他表示,该公司至今仍不断向有关当局争取其法令,但若成功争取,一切还有赖于有关当局的执行力。 因此,王千岚建议,购屋者在购置产业前,须在产业价值以及贷款配套进行考量。 "产业价值包括产业的增值率以及竣工率。贷款配套内存有陷阱与误导(意味着消费者将钱置放在错误的地方,省不到应省下的利息),因此,购屋者需透过专业人士的指导,以避免进入这些误区。" 至于购屋者可以如何节息呢?王千岚建议,(一)购屋者可向贷方(银行)降低利率或转换银行拿到低利率贷款、(二)部分提前还款以达到真正节息的方案。
Ornasteel ------ Good Dividend Yield Stock
Operating margins in 1Q08 improved to 10.9% from 8.6% in 4Q07 and 9.9% in the previous corresponding quarter.
To minimise the risks of future pricing mismatch, Ornasteel has adopted a monthly pricing basis instead of the usual quarterly pricing basis. The move will help protect margins from further cost increases.
Additionally, demand for cold rolled coils (CRC) has strengthened in the last quarter. Sales for CRC enjoyed a strong 23% y-o-y growth to RM187.9 million, accounting for some 55% of total sales. This has helped pick up the slack in sales for galvanised steel (GI) and pre-painted galvanised steel (PPGI).
Demand for the building materials appears likely to decline further with the slowdown in property and construction projects. The shift in sales mix — CRC accounted for about 47% of sales in 2007 — also helped boost overall margins. Margins for CRC are much higher than those for GI and PPGI at roughly 10.4% and 4.7%, respectively in 1Q08.
Positively, Ornasteel's close relationship with its controlling shareholder, China Steel Corp (CSC), gives the company a competitive edge. Ornasteel sources about 60% of its HRC requirements from CSC, including high-grade interstitial atom-free steel that is difficult to obtain in the open market.
The better quality raw material enables the company to produce higher grade CRC, the bulk of which are currently imported. In fact, about half of our country's CRC consumption is currently imported, suggesting plenty of room for substitution.
Ornasteel has proposed to change its name to CSC Steel Holdings. The move will enable the company to capitalise on the established brand name of the Taiwan-based steel maker.
Fairly valued with higher-than-market average yields The stock is trading at about 6.7 times our estimated 2008 earnings, which is fairly consistent with the average valuations for steel stocks. Net tangible assets stood at RM1.88 per share. Given prevailing positive sentiment for the steel sector and Ornasteel's higher-than-market average yields, its downside appears limited.
Ornasteel 's share price is likely to be supported by its attractive dividend yield, which is among the highest given by listed steel companies.
It declared a gross final dividend of 12 sen per share for year ended Dec 31, 2007 (FY07), translating into a yield of 7.9% based on Friday's closing price of RM1.53. The ex-date of the dividend falls on 26 June 2008 and payment is on July 11 2008.
Ornasteel's balance sheet is in good shape. Net cash increased to RM75.4 million at end-1Q08 from RM53.8 million at end-2007. With minimal capital expenditure planned, its cash position should improve further.
Hence, shareholders could expect relatively generous dividend payouts in the current year

When Petrol Price up by hefty 40% in Malaysia
Malaysian has another heart attack again on last Thursday when our beloved PM announced a hefty 40% hike in petrol price, another great achievement by Pak Lah. Again same comments made by the BN government i.e our oil price still cheaper compare to oil price in Singapore and Thailand really make rakyat mad with them.
Wake up lah Pak Lah. Singapore has an efficient transportation system. Not like KL. Why don't Malaysian minister take a ride of public transport in KL and get experience of what they so call an integrated transport system.
We understand that oil price has hit US$138.00 and according to Morgan Stanly it might hit US$150 soon and hence the petrol price hike is unavoidable. Nevertheless, price hike can be done gradually. The chain reaction of the 40% is too venom.
We just want to know, with the saving subsidies of RM13.7 billion, how is the government going to spend it. If we were to recall the last RM30sen price hike, according to Batu Gajah MP Ms.Fong Poh Kuan, the money spent as below:-
1. RM 100 million on renovation of Parliament building and leaks thereafter;
2. National Astronaut Programme - RM 40 million;
3. National Service Training Programme - yearly an estimate of RM 500 million;
4. Eye on Malaysia -RM 30 million and another RM5.7 million of free ticket
5. RM 4.6 billion, 'soft-loan' to PKFZ
6. RM 2.4 million of indelible ink
Has the rakyat benefited? No No No.......
We need a transparent and accountable government.
Don't ask rakyat to change our lifestyles when most of us are struggling to pay off our bills with our meagre take-home pay.
Pak Lah , that is only one world that I can tell you
"Please step down...... You don't derserve to be our PM"

This means critical data is accessible even if the desktop is offline, something that remote access services can't do, and provide real time access to data if it is online," said Raghu Kulkarni, President and CEO of Pro Softnet Corp.
"Desktop Search segment is currently dominated by Microsoft and Google. IDrive plans to be a player in the segment by launching a web based desktop search tool; it complements the backup data search and is perfectly positioned to offer online and offline access to user's PC data," said Shweta Sachdeva, COO of Pro Softnet Corp.
Privacy is an important concern when desktop data is made available over the web. Backup data is encrypted using 256 bit AES encryption with an optional user defined key known only to the user. In addition, data is transmitted using 128 bit SSL. Web based desktop search is optional and will have to be turned on by user providing full controls on how the data is accessed.
The desktop search portion of the service is still in beta and currently only supports Microsoft Vista OS. The company plans to add other windows flavors to support desktop search shortly.
Details on the service can be found at http://www.idrive.com/web-based-search.htm.
"The web-based desktop search option is quite advanced; it searches based on file and folder names, and contents stored within the files. We are working on enhancements to do searches on EMail data such as Outlook," said Suresh K, Team Lead for the IDrive Desktop Search project.
IDrive is a leading online backup service for consumers and small businesses. While there are now some major players in this segment including Symantec, EMC and AOL, among others, IDrive is trying to differentiate its service from others with its performance and breadth of features.
About IDrive
IDrive (http://www.idrive.com) is a leading consumer and small business online backup offering. This offering comes absolutely free of cost to consumers for storage of up to 2 GB and the IDrive unlimited plan allows consumers to backup unlimited amount of data for a modest $4.95 per month.
Other services of Pro Softnet Corp include IBackup (http://www.ibackup.com), a leading SMB online storage and backup service provider.

One bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed and the other room is a kids room with a full size/twin bunk bed. We also furnish 3 fold out twin beds at no additional cost.
You'll love the 3 levels of decks. The second floor deck is huge and is furnished with a number of chairs and seating areas for eating or sunbathing. It also has a gazebo with a sitting area just to relax and unwind. The bottom deck is a private dock with water access within 50 feet where you can fish or launch the kayak or pedal boat. At night, enjoy the underwater lights that come on automatically at dusk which make it possible to see just how many fish are in the canal.
Use the grill in the boathouse and eat by the water on the huge picnic table or prepare your meals in the indoor complete kitchen which includes everything you need including a built in wine chiller.

For your enjoyment, we have provided 2 kayaks and a pedal boat as well as a large picnic table and grill downstairs by the water. The ladder on the deck allows easy access to the water for swimming or rafting. We do suggest swim shoes for foot protection, and bringing life jackets.
The private beach is less than a mile away, just across the street or if you would prefer to spend the day in a pool, the new (2014) community pool is just around the corner.
We are sure you will have a wonderful relaxing time here. Make our home your home for your next family vacation!

Once again it was amazing
This house is excellent. My husband and I decided to make it an annual tradition to celebrate our anniversary with family and friends and this spacious beautiful home never disappoints. We are so looking forward to next year.
Thank you so much for your review and repeat business! You are phenomenal guests!! Please come back again and see us next year :)
our friends loved it!
we have a great time with friends.
Thanks so much! Please come back and see us again :)
The house is huge and clean and located in a nice cul de sac
The master's bedroom has an excellent bathroom. I loved the big walk in shower and the kids came up to shower there. We enjoyed the nice kitchen appliances . The only thing i recommend is better pots and pans and the crockpot is cracked but we were able to use it by using a slow cooker liner. The washer dryer were nice and big.It was nice that there was dawn dish soap and new sponge to use. We washed dishes by hands. We ate some meals outside on the deck and it was very relaxing. We fished most of our time there and we caught a few good ones but a lot of smaller ones. Overall we had a good time and thanks Nick for letting us stay at your wonderful property
Thank you so much for your review! We are going to update the pots and pans immediately. I appreciate your business please come back again soon :)
Beautiful home!
The house is just beautiful. Very spacious, well equipped with everything we needed and more. Wonderful location, with privacy but close enough to town to shop, eat and see the sights. Will definitely be back!
Thank you very much for your review Tonya! We appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you again:)
The property was beautiful and very clean. Everything we needed was there, even soap and shampoo.
We had a great time. We fished and kayaked and loved every minute. The owners of the property are great as well. One of the underwater fishing lights without the first night. I called the property owner and he had someone come out first thing the next morning to replace the light. I was very impressed.
I appreciate all of your kind words about how we treat our customers and the pride we take in our home. I do not understand why you have given the home 4 stars after such a glowing review and the promptness of my service,.
We strive our best to make every customer feel as if this a home away from home and serve our customers to the very best of our abilities.
Location and set up of the house were great, but a number of household items need to be replaced.
The split level set up was great for our family and we were very comfortable.
It was a nice house, but the fireplace wasn't operating which was a bummer because it was cold and rainy when we went. The refrigerator and microwave both needed to be fixed. They had a temporary microwave on the counter, but it takes up a lot of space. A lot of the kitchen items are old and worn down. Many of the Teflon pans were flaking or in bad shape. Since the weather was so bad, we spent a lot of time inside. There were limitations to what we could watch on TV as the cable options were minimal. They don't have ESPN which was a surprise as we hoped to watch bowl games over the holiday. For sure a first world issue, but surprising given the quality of the home.
Thanks for the review. I will look into the issues. Sorry you didn't have enough channels to watch, normally people are out enjoying the beach or several of the amenities that Galveston has to offer. Our heater is more than sufficient to keep the house warm. As mentioned when you inquired on the fireplaces they capped for insurance liability purposes. Although i can not control the weather, I will look into upgrading the cable and the teflon pans for this season. And as always we appreciate your business.

In the latest book in the Detective Jackson series, we catch up with Wade Jackson as he returns to work after a leave of absence after accidentally shooting his ex wife. His daughter, Katie, blames her father for her mother's death and is rebellious and angry, dabbling in alcohol and drugs. Jackson is finding it very hard to cope with the turn his life has taken.
I've followed this series from the start and have enjoyed it very much. The characters are believable with real problems and issues. The story lines are never as simple as they first appear and usually have two plots woven together as well as following personal lives. In this instance Jackson investigates a suspicious death at a storage facility which leads on to a bombing at a local factory by a potential terrorist.
Patrick Lawlor has narrated most of the series (apart from the first two) and I like the regularity of listening to the same narrator. He does a great job, especially with Jackson, and differentiates well between the characters.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I love this series and will definitely explore this author's other work. The main characters are developed well, and I think these books could be read alone without missing previous insight from the novels before it. I also like how the characters are not the stereotypical perfect or bad but just misunderstood, etc. - their issues and reactions just seem a little more "real human".
My only thought about this particular story is that there are so many characters and names, it was really hard for me to remember, "who's that", or "what did this one do?" I found myself rewinding and trying to go back and find the connections. I think the story could have been just as good without throwing so many people in the mix, but I also think that this issue would make this a better read than a listen.
Having said all that, I am hooked, and can't wait for more!

Source: Best BB creams for all skin types
Hi folks,
Today's blog is about my top 4 favourite BB creams, which I am sure will be loved by all who haven't tried these yet. Before I start off, let me first elucidate a bit on the concept of BB creams.
BB creams are short form for Beauty benefits or beauty balms or even blemish balms. These were first invented by a German dermatologist who wanted one stop solution for skin product that woul not just provide coverage to blemishes & problem areas but also protect skin.
BB creams are lighter version of foundation or you can say they are lighter in texture than a foundation, used to even out facial skin tone.
1. In no particular order, the first one is the LA Girl pro BB cream – It's an all in one skin beautifier that primes, moisturises & enhances skin. Paraben & fragrance free, a multi faceted BB cream every girl should try. Ideal for normal to dry skin.
Quantity: 30 ml
Price: appx ₹850
Packaging: comes in a black tube packaging that look stunning & sturdy. Really convenient to carry & user friendly.
2. Maybelline Dream Velvet soft matte hydrating foundation- It's a latest innovation by Maybelline, New York in the BB creams category. It's the 1st of its kind gel whipped foundation that gives it a super soft velvety feel. It helps perfect complexion giving your skin soft matte finish, just like velvet. It hydrates the skin & is long lasting. It's consistency is thick gel like which does not run off. Available in 6 shades. Great for oily & normal skin. Only disappointing factor is that is available in only 6 shades (4 online) & does not really cater to a wide array of Indian skin tones,
Quantity: 30 ml
Price: ₹700
Packaging: comes in a sleek tube packaging. Really convenient to carry & user friendly.
3. Lotus xpress glow – The 10 in 1 daily beauty cream by Lotus, has been my go to in the BB cream category. It comes with 10 beauty benefits, viz, ✔covers pimple spots,✔ hides imperfections, ✔evens out the skin tone,✔ no clogging of pores, ✔covers blemishes & dark spots, ✔instantly beautifies, ✔buildable coverage,✔ brightening primer, ✔moisturises & hydrates the skin & ✔has SPF 25.
These 10 benefits says it all about this power pack product. It gives a dewy finish to the skin & has a long lasting stay. Great for all skin types.
Quantity: 30g
Packaging: comes in a sleek cute bright pink tube packaging. Really convenient to carry & user friendly.
4. Ponds white beauty BB+ cream – This has been one of my first ever & till date favourite BB creams. It has a thick well pigmented texture that gives a flawless matte finish. It gives a really nice fresh long lasting matte finish. Is powered with SPF 30, which offers additional sun protection benefit. It helps inhibit the transfer of melanin to the surface of the skin revealing a clear & translucent complexion. I have been using it for years & have been raving about this product in my videos too. In summation I would say to give it a must try.
Great for normal & oily skin. Dry skin girls can also try it after moisturising their skin. Only disappointment is that it comes in one shade which will not be suitable for people who are too pale or too deep.
Quantity: comes in two sizes. 9g & 18g
Price: 9g ₹75 & 18g ₹150
Packaging: comes in a very sleek tube packaging in a carton. Is covenient to carry & user friendly.
Today's blog is special to me, as it entails a very special occasion in my life, my 10th wedding anniversary. It falls on November 2, (every year, 😜) and this time we celebrated it in the beautiful city of Udaipur, amidst me & my husband's usual tiffs, without which no ocassion is accomplished. Ha ha ha.
On a more stylish note, on this special ocassion, the outfits had to be special too. This one in particular, is so favourite of mine. It's a beautiful outfit that I teamed up using a cropped top & an asymmetrical skirt, both from one of my favourite Indo West store, Globaldesi. It's a flagship brand of Anita Dongre, and its styles & silhouettes does complete justice to its name.
The top is a deep blue raw silk beauty with zip detail in the front. It being cropped, just adds so much of oomph to your look. The skirt, yet another gorgeous quirky piece, is an adorable classy looking red asymmetrical raw silk piece of fashion.
Both these pieces truly seemed to be made for each other, when I teamed them up together. I teamed these pieces with uber colourful traditional jhola (oversize bag) & silver stilletoes, let alone my long loose bangs 😊
The ensemble gives me such a fresh, youthful, truly a Globaldesi feel & look.
Attaching a visual for you guys.
See you soon. Stay stylish

Festivities are in the air, and so is shopping, fun, travelling & living life king size, in its true sense. Last weekend I travelled to The Pink City – Jaipur. I don't hail from Jaipur, but by virtue of my father's job, my parents are currently putting up in this lively city, past 8 years.
Once you are in Jaipur, there is no way that you can control the reigns of temptation, be it of food, exploring the city or shopping gallore. I find shopping as my most cherished moments & Jaipur makes that even more special. So let me take you through my shopping experiences, some do's & dont's in Jaipur.
Bapu bazaar, Johari bazaar, WorldTrade Park, MI road, Hawa Mahal road and some malls are the available options that you can bank upon to shop from. However, Bapu bazaar & Johari bazaar including Hawa Mahal road, which is an extension to the aforementioned markets, are the most preferred shopping destinations in Jaipur.
You need to remember the following before I suggest you some specific places to shop from.
1. Do not haste while shopping in these markets
2. Do a thorough research of the markets by exploring as many shops as you can
3. Do an extensive price & quality comparisons, as they tend to be quite discriminatory.
4. Avoid taking kids as it will tantamount to opening a Pandora box for yourselves while being in these markets
5. Take out good 3-4 hours if you plan to do some serious shopping there
6. Definitely check out Johari Bazaar for exquisite jewellery, but make sure of its authenticity. So buy from renowned jewellers only.
7. Check out these shops for Jaipuri stuff:
shop no. 11&40 for Jaipuri footwear ; shop no. 41 for Jaipuri outfits including skirts, tops, dupattas, sarees, suits,et all ; shop no. 23 for more such stuff including amazing collection of bags/clutches ; shop no. 45&46 opposite Hawa Mahal for same kind of stuff in good variety.
My apologies, that I don't remember the shop number, but close to shop no. 40&41, as in the same lane, there is a shop for amazing artefacts. You can identify it from its owner who is a Sardarji.
Moving ahead on the same lane another Sardaji owns a shop famous for upholstery & good variety of bed covers, table covers, mats, dari's etc.
All these shops I mentioned are out of my personal experiences, as now I have settled with these ones for my shopping needs. As I mentioned, lot of shop keepers would charge a higher price, sell sub standard quality goods, & still have the audacity to show attitude. Who cares for them anyways. Caveat emptor, I am sure you would know this. 'Let the buyer be aware'. So don't forget the pointers & tips I shared with you all.
Moving on from these markets, Jaipur boasts of some really cool malls, but in my humble opinion, one must visit The World Trade Park Mall. One of the most beautiful malls in India, one has to see it to believe it's aesthetic appeal. It boasts of a lot of high end brands, many more adding as the mall is growing, a huge food court with amazing delecacies to suit all palettes & also a full fledged floor dedicated to Jaipuri stuff. This year they also added a Dubai Market inside the mall. However, you don't really get any Arabic stuff there. It's just the same local & Jaipuri stuff, mostly Chinese stuff I should allege. But a one time visit to the Duabi market is called for when you are in Workd Trade Park (popularly known as WTP). WTP is a place to be visited again & again.
Let me also share some bit of news for food lovers. Jaipuri chaat is delectable especially the golgappas made of daal. Sahu ki chai (Sahu tea) in Bapu bazaar cannot be missed. This time we tried a rooftop pub named Replay(Tonk road, Ridhi Tower) . A nice cozy place with decent food. There are many more food places both luxurious as well as for the masses in Jaipur to try out. May be I will share those in detail in another post of mine.
Hope you guys found this post interesting & informative?? Don't forget to check out my Jaipur Haul video on my channel, 'shimmernmusebysapna', to see the stuff come alive.
Happy festivities
This is the post excerpt.
This is the post excerpt.
Hi folks,
I am Sapna, now the 'Tentative Sapna', to be rightly called, as I am tentative about what to write, this being my very first post on my blog!? I will talk about beauty, fashion, trends, creativity, and a lot more relevant & sometimes even irrelevant
stuff, with no intentions of bemusing you but to just connect & relate with you.
Let me kickstart with one of my most favourite style mantra, 'Simplicity'. I totally endorse Simplicity & Minimalism as the essence to Style & being stylish. From Coco Chanel to Audrey Hepburn to Marilyn Monroe to Diana Ross to my favourite Bollywood style icon, Madhubala, each of these iconic ladies, epitomised class, elegance & e'lan, yet retaining the core values of Simplicity & Minimalism.
I too, endorse these essential style ingredients in my own personal style & fashion formulas, taking inspiration from these All Time Classic Divas.
Let me take the humble opportunity to share some of my own style recipes.
Hope you like it!!
See you very soon.

Grace went in the 11k and Sam was in the 4k (his first race). Tommorrow is the long one and people come from all over the world for it. Condition for the race couldn't have been any better.
