Reading CornerJuly 21, 2015
polo shirt: Kitsune, pants: unbranded, sunnies: unbranded, book: Kinfolk, shoes: New Balance
When I need to supply myself with new ideas and inspirations I always get lost with books. I read what I think I like, it doesn't necessarily have to be a 500-pages-thick kind of book. Magazines with lots of pictures usually do it for me. And I like to read where there's not so much noise around. A perfect corner to be a bookworm.
Today I picked a baby blue polo shirt and a pair of black pants to just lounge around. Since the polo already gave a sporty look, I emphasized it more with colorful running shoes. I also brought my shades just in case the sun light found its way to the corner.

The light bulb-change was a real low point.
Tango once ran an ad apologising for their previous crap ad and they've never really recovered, so I'm stopping short of a full apology. This is more a pledge to try harder.
I've still got nothing to say by the way.
My friend Ricky Big Face sent me this:
I just happened upon Mikel Arteta on twitter. His tweet from yesterday is as follows:I was going to use it as the launch pad for something hilarious and twitter-related. But then I had a look and it's not even real. And I couldn't think of anything funny anyway. Plus, with my diverse and cultured readership, most of you probably don't even know who Mikel Arteta is.
"My first time kicking the ball again today and I am already better at passing than Phil Neville. Thank you all again for your messages M.A."
Just remember, I've been bad before. But I've always managed to surprise you and do something worse.
Please don't give up on me just yet.

Yes, I have been at it again, sourcing battered old books to turn into fun buntings for little (and big) kids alike! This week's fun offerings are very traditional with a retro version of the classic Snow White and a Christmas-themed bunting. I loved the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song as a child, so this latest bunting is certainly making me feel nostalgic. What do you think?

KINGBROOK, INC., APPELLANT,v.JOHN A. PUPURS ET AL., APPELLEES.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Justice Freeman
Docket No. 92162-Agenda 11-May 2002.
The subject of this appeal is appellate jurisdiction. The circuit court of Boone County entered summary judgment against plaintiff Kingbrook, Inc. (Kingbrook), and denied Kingbrook's motion to reconsider. Kingbrook appealed, but the appellate court found that Kingbrook's motion to reconsider was ineffective to toll the time for filing a notice of appeal. Accordingly, the appellate court found the notice of appeal to be untimely and dismissed Kingbrook's appeal. The question before us is: In a non-jury case, what degree of detail must be included in a motion to reconsider for such a motion to qualify as a "post-judgment motion" within the meaning of the Code of Civil Procedure (see 735 ILCS 5/2-1203 (West 1998)) and the rules of this court (see 155 Ill. 2d R. 301(a)), such that the motion will toll the time for filing a notice of appeal until its disposition?
Kingbrook sued John A. Pupurs and Rockford Manufacturing, Inc. (Rockford), based on a theory of unjust enrichment, and sued R&D Thiel, Inc. (Thiel), for unjust enrichment and breach of contract. Although the issues before this court are solely procedural, we briefly note that according to the allegations of the complaint, Kingbrook is a commercial real estate agent which showed a specific property to Thiel. Thiel placed multiple offers on the property, but never completed a purchase from the original seller. Instead, the property was sold to Rockford, a corporation of which Pupurs is the sole shareholder. Rockford then sold the property to Thiel for $500,000 more than Rockford had paid the original seller. Kingbrook, characterizing Rockford's profit as a commission, sued Rockford, Pupurs and Thiel on the above-noted theories.
Rockford, Pupurs and Thiel (collectively, defendants) moved to dismiss Kingbrook's complaint for failure to state a claim, and the circuit court granted that motion. However, this judgment was reversed on appeal and the cause was remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings. Kingbrook, Inc. v. Pupurs, Nos. 2-98-1120, 2-98-0550 cons. (2001) (unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23).
It is at this time that the proceedings pertinent to this appeal began. On remand, defendants moved for summary judgment. The circuit court entered summary judgment in favor of defendants on January 21, 2000. On February 17, 2000, Kingbrook filed a document titled "Motion For Reconsideration." The body of that document read, in its entirety, as follows:
"N[ow comes] the plaintiff, K[ingbrook, Inc.], an Illinois corporation, by and through its attorneys, B[arrick], S[witzer], L[ong], B[alsey] & V[anavera], and hereby moves the Court to reconsider its decision granting severing [sic] judgment in favor of the Defendants."
No additional materials in support of or opposition to the motion were filed by any party or requested by the circuit court. Kingbrook noticed up the motion within the time allowed by the circuit court rules, and the circuit court denied the motion on April 28, 2000.
On May 30, 2000, Kingbrook filed a notice of appeal. In the appellate court, defendants moved to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction, arguing that Kingbrook's notice of appeal was late because the motion to reconsider was not a proper post-judgment motion. The appellate court agreed with defendants and dismissed the appeal. No. 2-00-0611 (unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23). We granted Kingbrook leave to appeal. 155 Ill. 2d R. 315(a).
Before this court there is but one central issue. The parties agree that the filing of a timely notice of appeal is mandatory and jurisdictional. R.W. Dunteman Co. v. C/G Enterprises, Inc., 181 Ill. 2d 153, 159 (1998). The parties also agree that the notice of appeal was timely if and only if Kingbrook's motion to reconsider tolled the 30-day filing period. *fn1 The sole question is whether Kingbrook's motion did toll the filing period. The parties' arguments may be briefly summarized as follows. Kingbrook contends that neither the Code of Civil Procedure nor the rules of this court demand any specificity in post-judgment motions in cases decided without a jury, whereas the Code does explicitly require specificity in post-judgment motions in cases decided by a jury. Thus, Kingbrook argues, the motion filed in this case was sufficient because it was timely filed, was in proper form, and requested the appropriate type of relief. Defendants respond that a bare motion with no specifics, such as the motion in this case, cannot serve the purpose of a proper post-judgment motion and is nothing more than a subterfuge to delay the time for filing the notice of appeal. Such chicanery, defendants argue, should not be countenanced. Some detail, some argument, they contend, must be presented for a post-judgment motion to toll the time for filing the notice of appeal.
The pertinent portions of the Code and our rules read as follows. Our Rule 303(a)(1) governs when a notice of appeal must be filed in civil cases. It states that
"Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the notice of appeal must be filed with the clerk of the circuit court within 30 days after the entry of the final judgment appealed from, or, if a timely post-trial motion directed against the judgment is filed, whether in a jury or a non-jury case, within 30 days after the entry of the ...

That famous line came from the late great St. Paul native, Herb Brooks. Although he may have been speaking to a bunch of college kids prior to the Miracle on Ice in 1980, the meaning of it can be applied and directly traced back to the hockey culture here in Minnesota.
It's no surprise we continue to consistently produce Olympians—the best hockey players in the world. But why?
Community equals opportunity. Minnesota Hockey's age-old community-based model provides more opportunities for kids to play, learn and love the game. The numbers don't lie—it works.
There are 143 total men and women that have played Olympic hockey. This year, the State of Hockey will proudly add 11 more to the list.
"We are extremely proud of the Minnesota women and men named to the U.S. Olympic team and wish them the best at Sochi," says Minnesota Hockey President Dave Margenau. "Our community-based model affords the opportunity for the greatest number of individuals to develop a passion for the game and achieve the highest level of competition, a testament to the thousands of coaches, officials and administrators who make this possible."
Former Olympic captain Natalie Darwitz knows how unique and successful the
culture is.
"Minnesota has been able to consistently produce Olympians as there are the resources in the State of Hockey that provide an opportunity for hockey players to thrive and develop more than any other state," says Darwitz, a product of the Eagan Hockey Association and current head coach of the Lakeville South High School girls' hockey team.
Play for Your Town
But it's not just us that recognize the benefits of community-based hockey. Quinnipiac surged to the NCAA Frozen Four last season with four Minnesota natives on the roster. In a video interview with Connecticut Hockey, head coach Rand Pecknold praised Minnesota's community-based structure.
"You look right now at the best state at producing hockey players, by far, is Minnesota," said Pecknold. "You play for your town. You play for your town the whole way through. You're locked in with your best friends for life. You play hockey and you don't quit—because you're always playing with your buddies and you're having fun.
"You get to a point and a lot of these kids will blossom at 16, 17, 18 years old. Right now, the Minnesota model, nothing even touches it. It's the best model going. The numbers don't lie. They produce so many players for Division-I hockey and the NHL."
Mike Snee, the executive director of College Hockey, Inc. and formerly of Minnesota Hockey, knows firsthand the advantages of hockey players growing up here.
"The community-based associations that hockey is built off of in Minnesota makes hockey more accessible than anywhere else in the country," says Snee. "It's noteworthy and exciting that the 11 Minnesotans on the men's and women's rosters represent 10 different communities. Along with the associations, community-owned rinks and passionate volunteers make it easier for a family to participate in hockey, and that is unique to Minnesota. And the development that unintentionally occurs when playing on outdoor rinks can't be overlooked either."
Let's Take it Outside
We Minnesotans do not fear the cold. We embrace it. Every winter, we gather at our local outdoor ponds, lakes and parks for some pickup hockey. The unstructured environment not only fosters a love for the game, but unintentionally strengthens our skill base, creativity and hockey sense. Now that's a win-win.
"Minnesota Hockey understands the needs to be a skills-development base," says Darwitz. "But they also have the unstructured pond hockey mentality in which a combination of a high skill set and hockey sense create some of the best hockey players in the U.S., if not, the world."
Premier Development
After our youth hockey players grow to learn and love the game as Mites, Squirts and Peewees, there are premier development opportunities for boys and girls who want to pursue hockey after high school. The Reebok Minnesota Hockey High Performance programs have proven to produce elite talent, year after year.
These programs identify and develop the state's top talent. Players from all across the state come together to compete with and against Minnesota's best. Players gain unprecedented exposure from junior, college and professional scouts.
Want to be an Olympian someday? Want to play professional or college hockey? The High Performance programs offer players the best opportunity to develop and advance.
Team USA had an opportunity to shock the world in 1980. For every player on that roster—including the 12 Minnesotans—they wouldn't have gotten there without the opportunities they received as youngsters. And perhaps without the hockey culture embedded into this state, it might have never happened.
Minnesota Hockey is committed to providing more opportunities, and more miracles.
Communities and opportunities require one key component to success: Volunteers. Without our volunteers, Minnesota Hockey is nothing. Thank you to all managers, fundraisers, concession stand workers, tournament directors, outdoor rink flooders—the list goes on. Our volunteers drive the strength and success of Minnesota Hockey.
Nominate your local hero for the Total Hockey Volunteer of the Month by visiting MinnesotaHockey.org.

A Leibnizian Kalam Argument?
1. Possibly, everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause. (Premise, W-PSR)
2. Necessarily, whatever begins to exist is contingent. (Premise)
3. Possibly, the universe began to exist. (Premise)
4. Possibly, the universe is contingent. (From 2 and 3)
5. Hence, the universe is contingent. (From 4 and S5)
6. Possibly, whatever is contingent has an external cause. (Premise, implied by W-PSR)
7. Possibly, the universe has an external cause. (From 5 and 6)
8. Necessarily, if the universe has an external cause, that cause is a timeless, changeless, immaterial, and very powerful first cause. (Premise)
9. Possibly, a timeless, changeless, immaterial, and very powerful first cause exists. (From 7 and 8)
10. Necessarily, a first cause is either necessary or contingent. (Definition)
11. Necessarily, a first cause cannot be explained by anything else. (Premise)
12. Necessarily, a first cause is explained by a necessity of its own nature. (From 1 and 11)
13. Therefore, a timeless, changeless, immaterial, and very powerful first cause exists. (Implied by 12)

Always wondered about this. Seems to make sense to me. Wonder what Craig and others would say about it..ReplyDelete
I think it may even be possible to drop the modal aspect and give a typical kalam defense for the finitude of the universe and change 3 to the universe began to exist, 4 then becomes the universe is contingent (2 and 3). Do you think that works? Or does that simplify too much and cause some of the power here to be lost?ReplyDelete
Hi Michael,ReplyDelete
Although I agree with the arguments that purport to show the universe's finitude, I wanted to weaken the premises to the point where even the most ardent skeptic would most likely accept them. I figure if one doesn't accept the claim that the universe began to exist, then he may at least accept it as a possibility.
Gotcha. Makes sense. What about those who dislike S5? Suggestions?ReplyDelete
S5 really isn't controversial, but the modal third way is an example of a modal argument that doesn't necessarily use S5.ReplyDelete
Ok. I have some professors at UC that talk of S5 as if it's a made up language and not good logic lol then again, this is coming from a university that refuses to hire a logician... hahaReplyDelete
Oh wow haha. Sometimes detailing the inverse operation of S5's "possibly necessary, therefore necessary" is a good way of showing its truth. "Possibly not necessary, therefore not necessary" is rather obviously true, since if there is a possible world at which X does not exist (per the antecedent) it follows that it does not exist in all possible worlds (per the consequent).ReplyDelete
Moreover, necessities don't vary from one possible world to another. We know that a married bachelor cannot exist in any possible world because it's impossible for such an entity to exist in the actual world.
Plus, all languages are made up. ;)
That's part of the problem. We have Chris Gauker, who is essentially a linguist in the like of Wittgenstein, and he holds that words give our minds thoughts rather than the other way around, or something along those lines. Basically, words give our sentences meaning, so an externalist account of language, rather than an internalist account. So I believe where some of our professors stand is that S5 is internalistic or something? It's confusing, and wrapping my head around Gauker's work is a mighty task lolReplyDelete
It's definitely worth studying these alternative theories of language, despite my misgivings about externalist accounts and, on a somewhat tangential note, non-correspondence theories of truth. William Alston's "A Realist Conception of Truth" is a good read in favor of the more traditional view.ReplyDelete

Drop by for a post
Now Playing: 红豆
Countdown: 8 Days.
Just like what's mentioned on my title, decide to be back for a minor update. Life's kinda not really as exciting as before like the last 2 years as compared. Lot more free time after and other then work. Rot the few weekends I had since I start working other than doing some LIFE once in awhile.
Life sucks when you know it's counting down. Now I realise why guys treasures things when they lose it or about to lose it.
Stings a little once in awhile. Just let me think that I just wondered a bit too much with the silly shows I had been watching this few evenings. Still deciding what I should do. Although I know I wouldn't want any help or advice but ironically, things always will be the other way round;in some way and some how.
Hope that I would still bother update this space before I enlist.
I can't believe that I could ever dream of Taeyeon from Girl's Generation!:D
If you still don't know who is she,which is highly not possible, here she is:
Don't she look really sweet?! I dreamt that I was having a meal with her and travelling around the city of Seoul. Seriously, I enjoyed my night and the feeling sucks when you wake up from a nice dream right?
Guess much I am a Sone already.A really intense one.
Love Library
Update a bit of my Life recently. Just ended my work a few hours today and chilling out at a nearby coffee house.
Listening to the concert recording the other day. I miss the concert seriously! I haven't been to a proper concert and stuff for quite long. And finally I think I am walking out of it already. Don't ask me why but yes. I think I made it out .
Oh and back to concert. The arrangement of the songs seriously was awesome! Medleys after medleys. Can't shout properly after probably the 2nd set of medley? Really awesome!
Probably update more about the concert soon.
Peaceout with LOVE^^
Had been working in school since about 3 weeks ago. Oh well, things are rather fine I would say.
Ironically sometimes I dont wish to work in school. Not because of the supervisor but rather the familiar faces that doesn't allow me to push my limits. Also, the feeling of facing whatever I thought I had left behind.
Seriously, I never believe in things that are ain't true but I am knowing it,through the hard way, reluctantly. I'm not too sure is this a biggest joke on earth that had happened to me or is it just that whenever I think of it, things just happen.
I manage to find it after so long, received messages of meetups and not too sure what's next. Rather much chances to get to face it but i thought of running away.
Maybe a lil bit I guess. Is in me. I seriously don't understand why of all things I had difficulties here. And just only while I am typing this particular entry, I received mails from my closest people. I had enough of jokes and pranks upon my life. My heart couldn't take much impact so spare me. I don't have a religion so whoever is up there having fun playing a prank on me, kindly change your target cause I had enough.
Honestly, i had tried to go out with the female friends around me for lunch or whatsoever, but it seriously has no sparks of any romance or crap. Kinda true uh. Laughter's not the best medicine but rather the best disguise at times.
Oh well. Enough rants. Recently,I'm just to lazy to care about whats going around me. Self-isolation can be good at times too. And thank you this reader that has been bother to pop by to read my silly entries although I didn't even update this space a single letter. Thank youu(:
Time to update
Alright. Tons happened during this period of time since February. Okay.
Shouldn't touch on it too much. Summary of it is I been through the cloud nines and fall into the deepest abyss. Still trying to surface from it but yeah, is real lot better now.
Facilitating students for their leadership workshop seriously is one of my favorite tasks to do! OMG. Although I am not really a great leader myself but being a mentor still within my limits. Oh well. Schools I facilitated were Zhenghua Sec, Outram Sec, Northbrooks Sec and Woodgrove Sec. Hmm. All are either the west or the north! My goodness! Okay that's not the main point though. It's really nice to see how they trying their best to gain as much as they could when they are given tasks to complete.Good job students(: If you get to read this post, yeah. this paragraph is for you(:
Oh and I had ended my guitar class prematurely. Reason being: Is really demoralizing when I go to classes with 2 better players and things just rub it off on me when instructor gave me a good scoldings on why I still don't know this and that. okay. fair enough. I should know my basics but yeah. I would join back when I find back the feeling. For electric or Strum and Sing.
Just came back from Genting highlands. Alright guess much is an annual visit there since 2009 I guess? At least once a year. Hmm. different company with different entertainment searched for makes every trip a lil different from one another. I tried Space shot. 3 letters. O.M.G! I thought my heart is gonna stop.literally! Enjoyed mocha frappe alone with the chilly weather is (Y) and definitely the live band that made of all us crazy! Oh the band is really awesome! Serious. Enjoying myself too much that it seems that I am rounder each day, which is not a good thing. Gotta work out more!
Posting some of the photos soon on facebook and hopefully here!
Readers! Take care and thanks for still paying a lil attention to this small space here and the happenings in my life(:

The Patagonian BaseCamp Lodge is located amidst of unexplored evergreen forests, on the banks of the Río Palena. The large freestone beach just in front of the lodge offers perfect wading possibilities and the home pool has brought some fantastic trout to the surface.
The views from your room and the main lounge are spectacular. Impressive green walls of trees rise from the turquoise river just in front of the lodge, steep mountains whose rough peaks are covered in snow, forming a striking contrast to the deep blue of the sky. In the lounge, the central fireplace is the heart of the lodge. Sink into one of the comfortable chairs, stretch your legs onto the hearth, and enjoy typical Chilean cocktails and snacks while sharing your stories, adventures and lies with your fellow travelers.
Or, after an exciting day on the river, enjoy a relaxing immersion in our wood heated hot tub on the banks of the river, or choose to sweat your last worries away in our adjacent sauna. After feeling reborn, a great wine will be opened and Carolina will surprise you with one of her legendary dinners. She is a master in combining typical local dishes with international cuisine.

"I am not so important that I have to have my way".
(No one was positive who said it, perhaps Joyce Meyers)
You know what? I needed to hear that.
Why do I get upset? Why do certain circumstances bother me more than others?
Why does offense creep in sometimes?
Because I think it should be that way I think it should be...
This seems basic, but it was revolutionary. Want a truly humble spirit?
It's not turning away a compliment , and it's not always hiding behind the scenes or not willing to be honored or being recognized...
It's giving up the right to be right.
SO I have been working on that all week.
One night at dinner I was mulling something over in my mind trying to to give up my rightness about a situation going on with someone. I tried very hard to let it go. Finally I let it out to my husband, and he helped me wade through the possible truth of the circumstances and then how to relax about it. I am so thankful for that man, he is a gift in my life. I didn't have to fight the battle by myself, I had back up.
I don't expect to be a pro at this immediately, I am a work in progress. I am just happy to be progressing in the right direction.

I feel as though I need to apologise for my rudeness about English cuisine. In actual fact, the whole gourmet food thing has caught on over here in a big way in the past couple of decades, and these days most of my friends here are able to name over six kinds of vegetable other than potatoes. It's a transformation!
Most of the credit needs to go to the big supermarket chains, which started issuing free recipe cards awhile back, as a means of educating the masses and promoting the products that they were being forced to import from the Continent as part of the whole European Union deal. At my local Tesco's this week, for example, in the town of Addlestone in Surrey, there were hardly any cards left, because everyone wants to cook food that is appropriate for the Royal Wedding celebrations.
From the picture, it appears that the thing to do is to get some Union Jack toothpicks and stick them in little pork pies:
Then for the main event, we are serving a
revolting delicious-looking appetizer:
Followed by
And, to finish:
Where are the vegetables, I hear you asking? Look closely, oh ye of little faith! For there is a cherry tomato and rocket (arugula) garnish with those prawns, which include some scallions and chopped avocado. The salsa verde has mint and parsley in it, and there are three different kinds of frozen berries in that slump. I make that nine different things containing vitamins in a single meal. So there.
Besides, people on this side of the Pond don't have to worry about things like animal fat and starch, because they have a National Health Service. Duh!
And another thing. If you dress the kids up in prince or princess costumes tomorrow and take them to Pizza Express, they will give you all the dough balls they can eat. Oh Junior, I am so sorry that you are stuck in Tornado-land, just think of how much fun that would have been!

A few weeks ago, I had to give a lesson in Relief Society (a class for the women of our church), and since it was my topic to pick, I was struggling to come up with what I wanted to speak about. I had a few ideas in my mind that I had been thinking about over the past week and then on Saturday, I went to water my plant and an idea flooded my mind.
This is my purple velvet plant (also called Purple Passion). If you were to take a guess as to how old this plant is, what would be your guess? Look at it... think about it....Well, I am not sure of the exact age of this plant, but when I asked the sisters in my R.S., the biggest guess was a year old. I don't know the exact age of this plant, but what I do know is it sat on my grandmothers kitchen window ledge for years... like at least 10 years and I have had it for 9 years. So my best guess would be 20 years old. I inherited this plant soon after she passed and though it is not a pretty plant, it reminds me of her every time I see it on my own kitchen window seal. This plant has lived in so many different climates, from the dry desserts in Utah, to the humid cold in Ohio and now to the hot Texas weather. At times, I have even had to bring it back from the dead. It's a hardy plant that I believe got it's foundation for good from my grandma. It does not need constant water, but when ever I see the leaves get soft, I give it a little drink (about every other week) and it is perked back up the next morning. So... why did this jog my memory for a great parable for a church class?
Well, just like our selves in this world, we too have to learn to adapt to different locations and situations. Some times it can be difficult and we may go a little limp, but with the Savior on our side, even at our weakest points, we can be brought back from the dead. And when we are given a good foundation from His gospel, we too can survive in any aspect of life.
On March 1st last year, I was having a pretty huge pity party for my self and decided to do something to better my self. I made the decision to read my scriptures every day for a year. The only other time I had done this was in seminary when I was in high school (and even then I think I stopped reading during the summer when we were not in seminary). So for the past 12 years, I had failed to read them every day. Well, on December 31st, with out any planning on my part, I grabbed my scriptures, opened them up, and ironically where I was at in my reading, happened to be the last chapter in the Book of Mormon. What a completely fitting way to end the year by finishing the Book of Mormon! I felt like I needed to be brought back from the dead, just like my plant. The Book of Mormon was my drink. And I did not just have a drink, I gulped it down! I have never understood the scriptures like I had this last year. It was amazing!! I felt the spirit every time I read them and got excited to go to bed to continue where I had left the night before. I feel like I have built a better foundation not only for my self, but for my family. And when March 1st came around this year, I truly rejoiced in the prompting I had and followed to read my scriptures every day. Here's to year number 2... and going strong!!!

February 18th
Yesterday we went to this HUGE opening presentation put on by the kids! IT WAS UNREAL. I have never wanted to have my camera so bad in my whole life!!! Everything was in Chinese and it was hilarious! The kids were screaming into the mic and dancing and singing and it was in this huge auditorium with the whole school! They introduced us to their culture and there were lots of masks and costumes and dragons, all celebrating the Chinese New Year. It was so exciting to me! I have no words for it, you would have just had to be there. The best part was at the end they asked all of us ILP teachers to come up on stage and a row of Chinese kids walked out and handed us each a stuffed horse because it's the year of the horse. Every one of us almost cried and we thanked them and hugged them and talked about it all day. We'll always treasure our horses. I am so happy to be here working at this school, I feel like I was born to do this! Every time we walk through the cafeteria they all yell out "HELLO TEACHA!" and wave at us. It melts my heart! It makes me realize that I am their teacher and that I have a responsibility to them! I can't wait to start teaching. I already love those kids so much! We started planning lessons and I loved it, even that was fun for me! A lot of other people were struggling and I was helping them. We've got a full day ahead to prep for our first day tomorrow! Wish me luck! Love and miss you all.

Yahoo is the top Search Engine when rated by Influence to Purchase
Media influence and/or engagement are hot topics in today's ROI driven ad world, and when it comes to the top search engines Yahoo! is the overall #1 choice for most influential on purchase decisions and Google is number 4.

Happy Mother's Day
Mother's day started here with me having a little lie in, then a cup of tea and flowers brought to me in bed by my dear man. He also brought me in my book so I could have a little read before finally dragging myself out. And what did I have waiting for me, but pancakes and rhubarb, yum!
This Mother's Day is the first for my daughter and the first for me as a grandmother. I was expecting Rhonnie, Scott and Evan for lunch,and one of my others daughters had also flown in from Melbourne. We had a beautiful lunch of minestrone and freshly baked bread rolls. It was lovely to have them all gathered here for the afternoon with just one other daughter sadly missed, still in Melbourne. We missed you Meg!
I have had such a lovely day. I have never been one to celebrate Mother's Day as it was always so commercial, but since we have made a conscious decision to live more mindfully, I have been able to relax into it more. I think that being a mother has been for me the greatest blessing and now to be a grandmother also is just a feeling of indescribable delight.
I wish all you mum's out there a very Happy Mother's Day.

Evan looks gorgeous in his red outfit, too.

Oh so glad you had a beautiful day! My first 'grandmothers' day too and something I will have to get used to...... but it was funny wishing my daughter Happy Mothers Day!!!ReplyDelete
Happy Mother's day Kate. I am so glad you had a wonderful day and that you were able to celebrate with your beautiful grand!ReplyDelete

Let's continue the theme on Creatics.
Remember the word I introduced a couple of posts ago as a combination of the words creativity and tactics? Reclaiming that word for barebones? That word was Creatics. If you don't remember, then you can read the post here.
I have to tell you, once again, how enthusiastic I am about the little book I found a couple of weeks ago. Written by James Webb Young and titled A Technique for Producing Ideas. There are plenty of other good books written about creative techniques, but part of my enthusiasm is that this book is printed with large type, and also only have 48 pages in it. It is read in one go.
The theme Creatics will be yet another theme on barebones communication. I will treat this theme the same way I have done with other themes: First I will draft a skeleton of mere bones, and then fill in the flesh with posts later on.
James Webb Young says many thinks in his little book. Here are the basics:
Two General Principles:
The first general principle is "that an idea is nothing more nor less than a new combinations of old elements."
The second general principle is "that the capacity to bring old elements into new combinations depends largely on the ability to see relationships."
These principles will need to hang in here without further comment for a while, since I will later treat even those in separate posts. However, it is a good time for you to do some self inspection already now: how good are you to combine elements, and how good are you to see relationships.
It will not be enough simple to state to yourself that you are good or both things, or maybe only one of them. You should glance over your shoulder and take a hard look to see if you really have a positive track record here. If not, you might have a problem with creativity in general, and you will, most likely, have a hard time following the steps in the creative method below.
I say this because most people have a self impressions that they are, indeed, very creative. On closer inspection, very few people are. A good place to start, for both parties, is by looking over the shoulder for evidence of that positive creative track.
Webb Young's Five Step Method:
Webb structures his method for getting good idea in 5 steps.
1: The First Step "is for the mind to gather its raw material."
1.1: Specific Material
1.2: General Material.
2: The Second Step "…is the process of masticating these materials, as you would food that you are preparing for digestion."
3: The Third Step: "You drop the whole project and put the problem out of your mind as completely as you can."
4: The Forth Step: "Out of nowhere the idea will appear."
5: The Fifth Step: "… might be called he cold grey dawn of the morning after."
For the moment I deliberately leave it here. When future posts are written, they will all be linked to this "master" post.
If you feel enthusiastic about what Webb Young has to say, why don't start reading up on him alongside me? Please remember, as Webb Young indicates, enthusiasm is part of the creative ore. So, if you lack enthusiasm, well draw you own conclusion …
Please note that this structure for producing ideas is universal. It works for whatever branch you are in: Business, science, communication, advertising, photography, arts, and of course for the wide range of tasks and occupations outside the professional areas. So don't get depressed if don't have a university degree (yet), or don't have a fancy title linked to your name.
By the way, you may want to know what Webb Young calls "speculator" and "rentier", as two different personality types. I leave it to you to look it up on the internet. I'll give you a clue: go google "Vilfredo Pareto". Or you could take this shortcut.
Good luck with it.
I need to go looking for a photograph to accompany this post. No post without a picture. Call it a combination of old elements :-). Half an hour later: The picture has been placed.

Yeast Dough:
2 tsp Instant Yeast
150 gm. coconut water or water (the coconut water is inside the coconut itself)
50 gm. Plain flour
Mix the instant yeast with the coconut water and let it stand for 5 mins. Mix in the plain flour and stir till smooth. Rest for 30 mins.
500 gm. Yam or Orange colour sweet potatoes (steamed and mashed)
400 gm. Self Raising flour
150 gm. Thick coconut milk
375 gm. sugar (200 gm boil with coconut milk and 175 whisk with eggs)
2 nos. eggs
1/4 tsp. Vanillin
1 tsp. Yam paste or a drop of purple colouring (for orange sweet potatoes, no colouring or essence is required as they have a nice orangy - natural colour)
(1) Boil the thick coconut milk and sugar until just boil. Warm will do, just to dissolve the sugar. Let it cool completely.
(2) Mix the boiled coconut milk with mashed yam or sweet potatoes and the whisked eggs. Sieve it. It will be thick but press through the sieve.
(3) Add in flour and stir till well mixed.
(4) Add in the fermented yeast dough and stir till well mixed.
(5) Rest batter for 2 to 3 hours covered with a wet cloth.
(6) Prepared small moulds with paper cups. Scoop in the batter till almost to the rim. To make the yam huat kueh split open, dip your spatula into a small bowl of cornoil and then make a cross on top.
(7) Steam for about 15 mins till cooked.
I get very excited when I make huat kueh or fatt kou in cantonese. The most excited part is when you open up the steamer's cover and you'll have a lot of exclamation!! It could mean 2 things - the fatt kou opens up and smile at you or it turns grumpy and never smile at all. Have fun and don't forget to post pics after doing it...

Thanks for posting this recipe. *muak*
By the way, can I substitute 1/4 tsp. vanillin with 1/4 tsp. vanilla essence? (no vanillin here). Also I don't have yam paste or purple coloring, what to do leh? I only have red, yellow, blue and green coloring. Is any of the above colors mixed together equal to purple?

Hi there!
Me from Jo's Deli Bakery and I just love those food pixs!!! Me salivate and salivate!!! Keep up the good work leh!

Hi 'little corner of mine', of course can sub with vanilla essence - besides affecting a slight tinge of colour, the taste is the same.
Omit colouring if your yam is dark coloured enough otherwise, red and blue might give you a nice purple colour. What you can do is, mix into a small little bowl first until you get the right colour then use it...
hi jadepearl...keep salivating but I'm sure you can bake very well too.
- July 10, 2006 2:51 pm
Hi Yochana
Your Huat Kueh looks so delicious. Do you have a recipe for Huat Kueh (without yam or sweet potato)?

I'm not sure if it was the lack of fall weather or just the daily grind, but I'd been in a bit of a funk for, oh, the last 2 months or so. I was working on weekends, staying far too late, searching for an after-school babysitter and feeling the pain of it all. Last weekend I finally decided that enough was enough and I couldn't do it anymore. I decided to buck up and be happy. God is in control, even when I can't feel it, even when I can't see it. He is constant. He sees beyond what I can see. I've already learned to trust Him, I just needed to be reminded of his capabilities.
Life chuggs along at full speed, meanwhile. Claire & Nolan have a new babysitter who picks them up from school and brings them home. She hangs out with them until I get home at 4:30. She adorable and sweet and we're so glad to have found her. Kelly is in the midst of fall full-team baseball practice. They will continue team practices for another month or so, when they go back to 4-on-1 practices. My office is hiring an Admin Asst who will help me and take many duties which I have been performing since May. She will start Monday and I will take a HUGH sigh of relief.
It finally feels a little like fall, with temps at 55 degrees this morning. Chilly for us. Funny, huh? I realized this morning that I never wear socks. Except when I'm wearing running shoes. Small details, but say a lot (to me, anyway!!).
So with this I say goodbye to my funky mood and welcome autumn with open arms...

(Ping! Zine Web Tech Magazine) – GoDaddy, the world's largest technology provider dedicated to small businesses, is advertising in the 2015 Super Bowl with a thirty-second spot encouraging business owners to put their businesses online with a domain name and website.
For the first-time ever, GoDaddy will cast an adorable puppy to make its point about empowering business owners to succeed online, but don't expect this to be a predictable commercial.
"We are taking an advertising tradition – a tried-and-true Super Bowl commercial convention – and turning it upside down," said GoDaddy CMO Barb Rechterman. "People love cute, little puppies in Super Bowl commercials, right? The power of our next Super Bowl ad is how it pivots from what you think is a traditional 'Hallmark' style commercial into something unexpected, while highlighting how our products help a small business owner drive their business online."
GoDaddy's 2015 Super Bowl spot is called "Journey Home" and while the company is not revealing specifics of the inspirational plot twist, Rechterman describes the story as reflecting the journey of a business owner in a very creative, action-packed thirty-seconds. Sharing the Super Bowl 'stage' with the super cute, and yet to be introduced, puppy is long-time GoDaddy spokeswoman and NASCAR star Danica Patrick, who has been in more Super Bowl commercials than any celebrity in history.
"I'm pretty sure this little GoDaddy puppy is going to steal the show," Danica said of her canine co-star. "Our Super Bowl commercials have evolved over the years and it's been pretty cool to be a part of the transformation. I love this year's surprise ending. I really don't think people will see the punchline coming."
This is GoDaddy's eleventh consecutive Super Bowl campaign and marks another significant milestone in the company's transformation from an online hosting and domain name provider to a robust small business provider with easy-to-use products engineered to make the business of business easier. Last year's two 'big game' ads featured small business owners, including one woman who quit her job to start her own small business online and another woman who attracted new customers via the Internet using GoDaddy's 'Get Found' product in the other.
This year's marquee ad was created by Barton F. Graf 9000, a New York-based agency. Its Chief Creative Officer Gerry Graf has eight Super Bowl spots to his credit, including the popular E*Trade Monkey and the FedEx parody of the movie "Castaway."
"Our strategic team and our partners at GoDaddy led us to very fertile creative territory," Graf said. "We've created a highly entertaining spot that will let everyone know exactly how GoDaddy's tools can help small businesses. 'Journey Home' is provocative with purpose, which is another way of saying, this is anything but your standard inspirational commercial."

Yay! I love springing forward, even if we do lose an hour. I love getting off of work while there's still light outside, it makes it seem like I still have lots of time when I get home (I know, it's a mental thing). Plus, now I'll get to take more blog photos too. Hooray.
Tad and I had another great weekend- even if we did get one less hour of sleep! On Saturday night, we went to see Ovo Cirque du Soleil in Santa Monica and it was awesome. Some of the acts just blew my mind. So. Amazing.
On Sunday we went to the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market. It was our first time (we usually go to the Pasadena City College one) and it was huge! Almost too big. There were so many fun things to look at and I ended up purchasing two pretty vintage dresses.
Outfit Details:
Dress- Modcloth
Cardigan/bag/headband- Anthropologie
Shoes- Jeffrey Campbell

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Building a pergola is a great way to add beauty, value and funtionality to your home. As a general building contrator for almost forty years I've helped home owners with on sight constrution of both attached and stand alone pergola designs.
The pergola comes in every size and shape that you can imagine but, depending on the design, is a fairly simple contruction project. Anyone with basic building skills can easily do the job in just a few days.

About The Habit
This is a unique building in that it was home to the Secular Sisters of Schoonstadt (Catholic nuns) before being converted into a beautiful guest house. The serenity of The Habit, possibly due to all the prayers over a 60 year period, is added to by the high pressed ceilings, wooden floors and beds dressed in crisp white linen. Large verandahs and louvered shutters give a cooling effect in the long summer days.
A cozy lounge in winter with a fireplace is opened up in summer to let the cool shades of the garden in. An eye catching feature outdoors is a large fresh water swimming- pool set in the centre of an attractive country garden, abounding with the twitter of birds.
For those people who wish to do their own thing or like travelling with their animals, the two self catering garden cottages, Oak and Jacaranda, are ideal. Each has their own secure private garden if you do decide to bring Boomer on holiday! There are two resident dogs, Chilli and Pepper, Rhodesian Ridgebacks who have learnt to open their home to other dogs, especially the guide dogs that come to stay.
The Guest House
The Habit guarantees the accreditation minimum standards required from the tourism industry and more than complies in certain areas. There are nine bedrooms altogether, three of which have twin beds and six with queen beds. All the rooms are en-suite most of which have a full bathroom and those that do not have a shower.
Some of the features are:
Own private entrance
DStv (bouquet of channels)
Tea and coffee making facilities
Ceiling fans
Hair dryer
Secure off street parking
Self catering units
Oak and Jacaranda cottages are situated in the adjacent building to the guest house. They each consist of three bedrooms, two with double beds and one with a bunk bed, sleeping a maximum of six people. All linen and towels are provided as well as crockery and cutlery. The lounge has DStv (bouquet of channels).
Each unit has their own private garden which is secure. A portable braai and garden furniture make outside cooking easy and relaxed, weather permitting! Pets are welcome by prior arrangement only. The self catering units do not have use of the guest house facilities.
Secure off street parking is provided by the church across the road for a small donation per night.
Arrive hungry, a feast waits! Our buffet table offers a wide selection of cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurts, cheeses and home baked muffins. Fresh farm eggs are made to order with your choice of accompaniments. Bottomless pots of coffee, a variety of teas and jugs of fresh fruit juice complete this princely meal of the day.
Dinner is also available by prior arrangement. The dining area opens onto a lovely deck and on beautiful moonlit evenings there is nothing nicer than sitting outside and dining under the starry sky.
Children at The Habit
Children are allowed but we prefer that the guests rather book a self catering cottage, which is more private. Please note however that the establishment will not take responsibility for children who cannot swim and for their safety around the open swimming pool.

"La roja" or "canalinha", the big question.
Diego Costa is a football player from Brazil, he born in "Lagarto" on 1988. He is a forward, his main quality is that he is very agressive, a factor that more than once to cost him dearly. He started to play football in Spain at Celta de Vigo, where he get 5 goals in 30 matchs.
Currently, he plays in the Atletico de Madrid, when after his great season he received the call of the Brazil team. Diego is in process of receiving the spanish nacionality, which could play in the Spanish team and the coach Vicente del Bosque has know his wish that diego plays in the Spanish team. This raises the questions of playing in his natal country or in the country that has given all in football.

This is fated to be quick and newsy, I'm afraid. My lust for writing has really dropped off these past few weeks.
Graduation came and went. I wore the regalia, as indicated in this lovely image taken by my mother:
Shortly after this photo was taken, I gave a little speech to satisfy the masses at the College of Architecture and Planning. That was fun, and people--I LOVE public speaking. It is one of my real gifts in life. If you can think of a career that would utilize this skill, I'd be grateful.
Mom, Dad, Paul, and a dear, dear friend Angel came up to celebrate with me. I was extremely happy to be surrounded by some of my most beloved people in the world, even if I was slightly disappointed that my frequent-flying grandparents did not make it.
Our family has never been known for nostalgia. I'm beginning to see where I get it, that weird familiar detachment thing. It is positively genetic.
A few fine gifts included an incredible, awesome camera (that really intimidates me)from Mom, Dad, and Chip, this insanely beautiful pen set from Angel and Colin:
and a few monetary infusions which will eventually add up to a new computer (I love my battleaxe, but she's a little worse for wear these days.)
Now, I just have to finish a bunch of coursework, like my thesis, so that I can graduate for real.
I've been working in the garden, even though it is gray, drizzling, and cold outside. Sadly, I've exposed myself to a great deal of poison ivy (while pilfering flagstones from the burned-out house next door), so I am off for my second round of vigorous scrubbing under extremely cold water.
Much love from the chilly Midwest.

Your frequently flying grandparents are sorry to know how disappointed you were when we didn't show up. It was that or our tiny contribution towards your new computer. Needless to say, we were thinking about you and are as proud of you as can be.

well looky at the new graduate. brett and i are doing something as soon as he rests from comps... yeah, i'm blaming my laziness on him. anyway, very proud. you'll never believe how committed i was to celebrating your special day.

You are a superstar. And you look smashing in your regalia. Wish I could have been there, but there is a teensy-weensy human attached to my chest.
I officially owe you one gradgitation dinner.

I have to admit it. I'm an huge American Idol fan.
And I was HUGELY disappointed last night.
My favorite, Pia, was sent home last night and I think that was a horrible mistake.
I guess I'll try to look on the bright side. We were big Chris Daughtry fans from Season 5 as well and he came in fourth. And guess what? I don't even remember who won that year. Chris did so well even without winning and the winner didn't do well enough to be worth remembering.
So my hope is for Pia to do well even without winning. I, for one, will buy her CD.
Now, I have to go figure out who to cheer for now.

Jennifer Hudson came in 7th on her season of AI. She's bigger star than any AI winner (other than maybe Carrie Underwood.)
I told Clay that winning American Idol is like the Heisman trophy. The winner nevers goes on to do anything good. Think about it...
I would say that's true except for Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.ReplyDelete
I was so upset too!!!! Mike couldn't believe it!ReplyDelete

It might be a little out of season...
Yep, it's a Thanksgiving photo. That's a chunk of my cute little family, playing a game after Thanksgiving dinner. I had fun piecing together this one, using a bunch of products -- Girls' Paperie and Sassafras papers, a bunch of different letters, some crocheted trim aged with khaki glimmer mist, etc. I even broke out the typewriter for the journaling, something I'm usually way too lazy to do! Oh, and it's Thanksgiving in June b/c I submitted this for a call...it didn't get picked up, but oh, well -- into the album it goes!
I'm in the midst of a little frenzy of layouts after spending most of the past couple weeks busy with house and people stuff. Back into the studio I go! What are you up to today? I hope it's fun!

What a fun layout! Love all the different lettering, especially the scrabble-looking tiles and the typewriter journaling (definitely putting typewriter on the birthday wish list!). Stinky that it didn't get chosen, but now we get to enjoy it right here on the paper cupboard. :)
Isn't it fun to get back into crafting after a break? Everything old is new again! Hope you're enjoying it and can't wait to see what you're making!

Labels: Food
Have you ever pulled everything out of your clothes dryer, folded it all, then found a leftover sock? It happens to me all the time and invariably leads to a big hunt. I thought that obsessive hunt for the sock was a pretty good analogy for all the peculiar little things that embroil me from time to time. Anyway, I thought the blog medium would be a good way to keep track of all these "missing socks!"

Edited to add: Often you do 50 little tasks and it feels as if you have accomplished nothing. A large part of my job is trend spotting and reading constantly about emerging technology. It can feel like a waste of time unless that one magical idea strikes. The point of the Day In the Life project was to show the wide variety of librarian experience. We're not all bunned, cardiganned librarians, chained to the reference desk, peering through our glasses. 4.29.10
I am the Functional Design Manager at Queens Library. I spent two years as a YA librarian before leaving public service to work on a special project: the redesign of our website and implementation of mobile services. This my Day In the Life of the Library ...

Modernity v. Modernism I: Style
There exists a chasm between what we thought the future would be like and the reality of our present. In design, perhaps the greatest miscalculation by Modernists predictions was the tenacity of tradition. For the single-family home, even the mildly radical ranch house has fallen out of favor, replaced by various revival-ish styles.

Hey all! I've been really wanting to read blogs and post but I've been so busy! Tomorrow I leave for Boston and I'm stoked. A little nervous, but mostly excited. Guys.. I'm finally on the right path! ;)
Anyway, I'll be back to blogging shortly. Next time I post I'll probably be in a really cute cafe or in the Boston Public Library. Who knows :P
Hope you all are doing well! Cheers!

oa Journal of East African Natural History - Marine botany of the Kenya coast: 4 Angiosperms
Marine flowering plants are a prominent feature of the intertidal zone of the Kenya coast. They extend from the low water level of neap tides (i.e. they are rarely exposed except at spring tides) to situations well beyond the reef in deep water. Some are exposed for considerable periods during spring tides while others, although situated high on the shore, grow in pools and depressions where a certain amount of water is left by the receding tide.

Driving games differ in a number of different ways, not just because they contain different kinds of vehicles (cars, bikes, Formula 1) but also in the type of challenge they present.
In the case of Pure the main objective is not only crossing the line in the first place, but also performing as many jumps, tricks and other acrobatics while you're on air, flying at top speed over bumpy trails with your quad bike.
Before actually starting the race, Pure makes you go through a training session that also works as a kind-of tutorial. It's a good way to get used to the game's quite confusing controls, which inexplicably mix up keys from the standard WASD combination and the arrow keys.
After you learn how to preload, boost and do a basic trick, you're ready to go: it's time for a real race! This time the track is much more fun, because it enables you to compete against other drivers and also includes higher jumps in which you'll be able to show off everything you learned during the tutorial stage. The realistic, highly detailed graphics in Pure serve to make it even more enjoyable, and a lively rock-style soundtrack adds the final touch.
Pure requires a bit of dexterity, so if you don't get any trick during the first few minutes of gameplay don't panic. Also, note that you're supposed to perform different tricks on each jump (repeating penalizes) and that if you're successful with the basic ones, you'll unlock more advanced tricks.
On the downside, I must admit Pure let us down for various reasons. The first one is the file's size, which is simply too heavy for such a short demo. They could have removed all those promotional videos and include at least another track. The controls are also a bit complex: just performing a basic trick involves four different keys, which are usually configured very far apart from each other on the keyboard. Finally, the game has some absurd restrictions. I don't know what's wrong with going a bit off the track or even trying to turn around and racing in the wrong direction, but you simply can't. Pure interrupts the game and puts you into track again. Seriously, a bit more freedom for the player wouldn't hurt, even if that means I don't win the race.
Pure is not just about racing: it's also about performing the craziest airborne tricks during the race. Too bad the demo is so short that you hardly have time to enjoy it.
