Hriday Ranjan is an MPhil student who blogs at HeartRanjan. Recently, his blog post 'Why is Aamir Khan Such A Pretentious Prick' showed up on everyone's social media feeds, lending the satirical blog post instant virality. The post, which was written after Aamir Khan's response to the AIB Roast, raised a lot of laughs and sparked many a conversation. But Hriday was blogging long before his post spread like wildfire, and his sense of humour and observation has won him a steady stream of followers. BlogAdda spoke to Hriday about his blogging journey, and the interesting reactions that his recent post has generated.
Q. You started blogging in 2007, what was the thought behind starting a blog before it was cool?
Back in school, I was usually in charge of the notice board, where I'd put up funny stuff for people to laugh, or direct humorous plays. When I left school, the internet became a natural extension of that. It began with the Communities on Orkut, and slowly spilled over to a Blogger account, which was later shifted to a WordPress page. And that's how it began.
Q. How has the journey of your blogging been? Are you still excited about every new post or do you feel some fatigue?
I'd say it has been satisfying. I don't have a fixed schedule to post stuff – at times it is many posts a week, and sometimes there isn't anything for months. I work at my own pace, so there's no fatigue or pressure. A blog is the only medium that allows you this freedom. And it is immensely satisfying to receive emails of appreciation from readers of all ages.
Q. Your posts have a liberal dose of satire and sarcasm. Does it stem from a sense of frustration with the way things are or is it just for fun?
Satire and sarcasm are beautiful ways to put across one's frustration. And in a country like India, there are so many things to get frustrated about; I doubt I'd blog so often if I lived in Netherlands! Also, I have always been a sarcastic person, and feel sarcasm comes naturally to us Indians. The only problem is we draw strict lines around what can be joked about, and what is off-limits.
Q. Did you imagine that the Aamir Khan post would take off as well as it did? What do you think worked for the article?
Honestly, I hadn't expected the kind of virality the post witnessed. In fact, it was one of my shoddier written articles. I am a student of journalism and generally research for factual accuracy. I guess what worked for the post was that it was a rant. I have noticed that people love rants. Sometimes I feel like the middle-aged guy in a bar. You know, the guy you go to ask for matches, and he begins talking about the state of the universe!
Aamir Khan has somehow become the thinking man. I have a problem with our obsession with film stars. They make films, earn money, and we go about blindly putting them up on a pedestal.
I had written a blog on Uday Chopra earlier, which was probably more offensive. But since Uday Chopra is not a 'sensitive, thinking' star, nobody had a problem with it.
Sadly, for all the sensitivity Aamir Khan tries to bring into his movies, his fans are as 'violent' as other fans.
Q. What are the reactions that you have gotten to the Aamir Khan article? We're sure there must be loads of bouquets and brickbats flung in your direction.
The reactions are rather funny. The most common question being 'What have YOU done for the nation?' I don't get this concept. According to us Indians, one needs to achieve the same status, before talking about someone. If that were true, nobody should talk about Narendra Modi, Sachin Tendulkar, or Don Bradman because nobody has achieved what they have. It's an extremely childish notion, the kind of stuff teachers say in school – 'Why are you laughing at him when you also failed in your exam?' sort of logic. It is absurd.
We take humour not as a joke, but as a personal insult. Which is why everybody is fine circulating jokes about Rahul Gandhi, but stiffen our backs if it is about Modi. Those who liked the post, loved it. Those who didn't, hated it. The reactions were extreme. One fan threatened to kill me if he met me in real life, which was very surprising. I would have expected Aamir fans to hold a candlelight march in protest!
Q. What do you plan to do with this newfound surge in traffic? Any plans to bank on it?
Not really, but I plan to subtly promote my book through future blogs! Xanadu Nights is the name, keep an eye out, people!
Q. How important is traffic and engagement for you? What are the ways in which you promote your blog?
Actually, I never promote my blog. I have a Facebook page where I post updates, and leave it at that. I have always believed that if your content is good, people will come to you. Also, look at the way posts are shared today – 'This child entered McDonald's, what happens next will blow your mind!!!'. When posts like that are shared, how can one compete?
Which is why I am Zen about promoting my blog. I'd rather spend the time writing the next post better.
Which is not to say that traffic and engagement aren't important. Someone is taking the time out to read, write, and share your post, you have to ensure they don't feel juvenile about their decision. If you are on social media through much of the day, it makes sense to use it to your benefit.
Q. Tell us something about your life. What are your interests apart from blogging?
I am doing an MPhil on Diasporic Cinema. I am also writing a book – Xanadu Nights – and trying to be a stand up comedian in Hyderabad.
Q. You blog about a wide range of topics – from films and cricket to your personal life. Which blog posts do you enjoy writing the most?
I like writing about films, in fact my MPhil revolves around cinema, and we have very little writing on cinema. There are scholarly research articles, or gossipy, party columns. Observational humour is another favourite, and I love writing about internet trends, politics and cricket.
Q. Have you planned and scheduled your blog posts or blogged as and when inspiration struck?
I post them as and when inspiration strikes. I am paranoid about ideas escaping my head and vanishing into thin air. Which is why I am constantly noting things down on my phone, or post-it notes, or on pieces of paper. Technology has made it so much easier to capture an idea and save it for the future. I use Google Keep for short updates, and SimpleMind, an excellent app for making quick flowcharts.
Also, as a blogger, it is important to talk about an issue when it's still hot. If I write about Arpita's marriage now, it won't make any sense.
Q. What is the biggest challenge that you face in maintaining a blog regularly?
I am a very lazy person. For every blog I post, there are three posts that couldn't make it. Since my blog talks about current affairs, the challenge is to remain consistent and updated. The other challenge is to keep writing even if there is no response. At times, I write a post and sit back assuming it's going to break the internet – only to find that it has been shared by three mosquitoes and a housefly.
But a blog involves a steady, loyal readership, and it is important to keep at it.
Q. Do you see any difference in the blogging world from when you started and the current scenario?
There is a world of difference. Earlier, it was just my friends who'd read my posts. Sharing, commenting, referring – all these have become much easier today. If your content is good, this is the best time for you to get loyal readers. Also, people are getting bolder in their topics, asking uncomfortable questions, confronting issues. Look at the role blogging and social media had during the Arab Spring protests – it is phenomenal.
Q. There aren't any promotional posts or contest/activity posts on your blog. Is there any specific reason for it?
I have tried to maintain the feel of a journal/diary on the blog. Which is why there are no promotional posts. I have tried to keep the tone as personal as possible, and advertisements and contests somehow remove that personal touch from a blog.
Q. Do bloggers have the option of turning into full time bloggers in India? Do you think it's lucrative?
I haven't tried to monetize the blog, so I can't tell for sure. But I know for a fact that niche blogs – on technology, for example – get humongous amount of hits, and can be monetized. Though I doubt anybody has bought a flat from their earnings from a blog!
Q. What do you think sets 'HeartRanjan' apart from other blogs?
I think what works for it is the honesty. I have tried to be brutally honest about issues. Also, in a nation where we are constantly bending over backwards for people in power, the irreverence might have worked for people.
Q. Which other bloggers do you follow? Any inspirations?
The Best Page in the Universe, Ashish Shakya, and GreatBong (Arnab Ray). Arnab in particular is an inspiration because he started as a humour blogger and now has three well-written books to his credit.
Q. You seem to get quite nostalgic in your blog. What are the things you miss about the 'simpler times'?
Probably the fact that we were the generation in transition – a bridge between our parents and our children. I'm sure every generation says that, but the 90s changed many things about our nation and economy. I feel the 90s was the time when we were still getting used to that transition. And that is a veritable goldmine for humour.
Q. What advice would you give to people who want to start blogging?
Write. Write. Write.
Quick Questions:
1. What makes my day – A mail from a reader.
2. What ruins my day – Bad breakfast.
3. My biggest fear is – That I'll never be a published author.
4. Favourite movie – Just too many. I feel like the selector of the Argentina football team!
5. Favourite book – Again, too many. But if I had to boil it down, it would be JK Rowling and Murakami's books.
6. The biggest adventure I've been on is – the adventure of self-discovery. Hehe.
7. My ambition is – to straddle successful careers in writing and stand up comedy.
8. The thing closest to my heart is – my manuscript, as of now.
We hope you enjoyed reading Hriday's candid interview. Let us know what you think about the interview in the comments section below! 🙂

"These were little plates of ice, very flat, very polished, very transparent, about the thickness of a sheet of rather thick paper... but so perfectly formed in hexagons, and of which the six sides were so straight, and the six angles so equal, that it is impossible for men to make anything so exact."
The philosopher Rene Descartes made that observation when he attempted to catalogue snowflakes back in 1635, and wound up with a fairly thorough description of snowflake shapes, especially since all he had was the naked eye. See drawings above.
And we've experienced the same astonishment as Descartes when we wrote about platinum crystals. There is something about crystals that just looks too unreal.
It needs to be around freezing for water vapor in clouds to form ice crystals and this is when they skip the raindrop phase altogether (although the warmest snow is pretty wet and is the best kind for snowballs.) When the temperature drops below freezing snowflakes become smaller and lighter, and feel more like powder.
But the key to a snowflake's amazing shape is hexagonal symmetry. Ice crystallizes in a form that is scientifically known as Ice 1h, this means that its base shape is a hexagon, but the interesting part is that if you turn the crystal 60 degrees it maintains a hexagonal shape.
And this hexagon is due to a physical phenomenon called faceting: The ice crystal initially forms a six-sided prism. Then a second physical law kicks in called branching, this is what forms the beautiful arms that grow from each point of the hexagon. And this happens because ice grows fastest on the edges of a prism. As the crystal falls through the atmosphere (an average flake falls at an average speed of 3 miles per hour) it gets more complex, forming more and more facets and branches, until the flake arrives finally on the ground. Although the ice is clear, the scattering of light by the crystal facets and make the flakes appear white.
Check out this amazing image taken by Caltech physicist Kenneth Libbrecht who travels to Northern Ontario or Michigan to document crystals.
Libbrecht uses a tiny paintbrush to transfer the crystal to a glass slide and then takes the shot with a digital camera mounted to a digital microscope. His images are pretty striking, so much so that one landed on a US commemorative postage stamp in 2007.
Scientifically we know that every snowflake is unique. This is because each shape grows more complex as it moves randomly through different temperature and humidity levels on its way through the atmosphere. (This also makes it very hard to measure—NASA says that we are 50 years behind rain in our ability to accurately measure snowfall.) Some philosophers might argue that it's possible for two snowflakes to be nearly identical, but others have also argued that according to the Philosopher Gottfried Leibniz, if two objects are distinct then there is some way in which they differ, therefore two snowflakes cannot be identical.
Philosophizing aside, it's pretty unlikely that the 10 quintillion water molecules that make up an average snowflake would fall in the exact same pattern twice.
But there remains a lot of mystery surrounding what ought to be an ordinary crystal. Most of it is rooted in the slow growth of the snow crystal—as it travels from cloud to ground—that creates so many shapes. So much so that NASA launched the Global Snowflake Network, a huge crowd-sourced classification of falling snowflakes.
For more on the art and science of snow, and its flakes check out this lovely video created by USC Dornsife:
At this point even laypeople, not just us industrial designers, have heard of injection molding; it's how a lot of the plastic stuff we own is made. But few layfolk have heard of metal injection molding, and it's only a minority of ID'ers who will get to work with the...

NEW YORK — The first thing that happens to some visitors at ``Tokyo: Form and Spirit`` is that they get lost. That`s partly because the exhibition, which originated at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, has been squeezed into the disorienting, subterranean space at the IBM Gallery of Science and Art here.
But it is mostly intentional. Tokyo is a sprawling city, one whose urban structure is not readily apparent. It stands at the center of a society that, while notoriously inward-looking and convinced of its cultural superiority, seems at the same time to be absorbing popular culture from everywhere.

Black Market Porter is the first beer in our new 'Pilot Series' range. The idea came about while the three of us boys were in the car on our way down to the Geelong Beer Festival. We had been talking about what to brew as our next beer for some time but couldn't settle on one. Ash said, "Let's do some pilot brewing and then decide with a beer in hand". From here the conversation quickly turned into a plan to brew small keg-only batches, one by one, and share them with the beer lovers of Melbourne. Glenn was a willing accomplice, letting us create it at Temple Brewing Co, and so we brewed our Black Market Porter just in time for when the temperatures drop and the wind begins to swirl.
Porters are a beer rich in history; they helped fuel the industrial revolution in the UK. Most believe the name came from the working class of the day, from their love of this delicious energy-rich beer. Porter gave them the energy they needed to work long into the black of night, moving the goods ready for the Barrow Boys to spruik in the marketplace. Before the sun was set to rise the porters would reward themselves with a well-deserved pint after their backbreaking shift. From these humble beginnings, porter became pivotal to the beer world. Did we mention this is Ash's favourite beer style?
Black Market Porter has 8 different malts which all impart their own character. Biscuity, toffee, coffee and even a subtle smokiness from a little German Rauchmalt add to the flavour profile. The hopping is assertive but doesn't overpower the beer. Tasmanian grown Willamette (a classic dark beer hop variety) in the kettle and US Mosaic (Tropical new world variety) dry hopped work together to create a balancing and complimentary hop profile with an earthy palate and fruity, tropical aroma which contrasts the malt.
It will be around the usual craft beer haunts of Melbourne but only until the thirty kegs run out. Let us know if you like it and maybe we'll brew it again someday.
The Boys

Cheap Personal Statement Writers You Need
So, you need help writing that personal statement of yours? It may look like you don't have to apply any effort to find somebody to provide the necessary assistance – there are literally hundreds of agencies offering cheap writing services online, and you are free to choose any of them. In practice, however, making such a choice turns out to be a much less trivial task than it may seem – simply because not all of these agencies can serve as a perfect example of a business that really cares about the wellbeing of its clients. You should pay attention to where you buy your writing samples and make sure you deal only with reliable and well-reputed agencies.
What's the Use of Buying Writing Samples Anyway
If you wonder why you should spend your money to buy a sample of the assignment you have to write (even if it is an affordable one), then we will be happy to explain. One of the best ways to learn how to do something is to study how an expert does it – and it is exactly the opportunity we offer you. When you buy a custom sample from our service, you get a sample that is written from scratch by a writer who is a top-notch specialist in the discipline in question. You may be sure they know what they are writing about, familiar with most of the literature on the topic and have already written dozens of university level essays, papers, and other academic assignments on a similar topic. What is equally important, they will write the paper you've bought using the format and style of your choice.
If you have no experience of working on academic assignments at all, you should know that compliance with all the little requirements of a style guide can be as difficult as writing the paper itself. By placing an order for a paper with our agency, you get a high-quality example of an assignment written exactly in the style you need, providing you with a valuable reference point.
Why AffordablePapers.com and not Some Other Writing Agency?
It's true, you have plenty of choices when it comes to hiring a writing agency to work on a paper sample for you. However, you should ask yourself: can you really trust most of these agencies? Before you pay anybody for an academic assignment example, you should be absolutely sure they are capable of delivering an original paper on time. After all, what's the use of an academic sample that is delivered after the deadline? When you place an order with AffordablePapers.com, we can promise you the following:
- Timely delivery. Our personal statement writers know how important it is for students to get their samples on time, and are specially trained to write quickly, without mistakes and without sacrificing the overall quality. When you place an order with us, you get it delivered on time;

Brest Friend
The My Arms and Back "Thank You" Nursing Pillow Designed Just for Twins
My Brest Friend Twin is the ultimate dual breastfeeding support pillow. Dual breastfeeding saves time, increases milk production and allows both babies to receive mom's attention. With My Brest Friend Twin Plus, mom can feed two babies simultaneously like a pro. It supports the babies, it supports mom's lower back, and it supports breastfeeding. It has everything a mom wants in a dual nursing pillow:
Its wraparound design secures firmly to the body, helping to maintain a successful latch in a stress-free breastfeeding position. Its quick-release strap is adjustable and fits comfortably around the body. The backrest helps mom achieve good posture, minimizing back and neck pain while the arm and elbow rests minimize shoulder stress. The firm, flat cushion keeps babies from rolling away and the built-in feeding risers raise babes' heads slightly aiding in both ingestion and digestion. The pillow has a convenient pocket to keep essential items within reach and the cover is removable, machine-washable and 100% cotton. And when you are done, the foam pillow is 100% recyclable
It has all the benefits of My Brest Friend, but with room for two.
"If you are breastfeeding twins, this is an essential. The Twin Plus is a lifesaver! I can breastfeed both babies without the fear of dropping one of them and I can now mange to eat, text and catch-up on email while breastfeeding."

IT doesn't take a genius to figure out that U.S. boards of directors and corporate executives are in for a rough time this coming proxy season.No one can be sure how the story in the stock market is going to play out, but with a month to go to year-end it looks increasingly like most U.S. stock investors will have a bad year.
And in light of that, it's probably safe to say that shareholders are going to be paying more attention than usual to the information companies will be putting out in advance of their annual meetings.
Of course, executive pay figures almost always look worse to shareholders after a down year. Risk Metrics, which advises institutional investors on how to vote at annual meetings, predicts that pay issues will "continue to be the major focus for investors" during the U.S. 2008 proxy season.
Many more companies will likely face "say-on-pay" proposals that seek to give shareholders an advisory vote on executive pay packages.
Say-on-pay is new in the U.S. The first actual advisory vote will be held in May at Aflac, which agreed to do so after talking with its biggest shareholders.
About 60 say-on-pay proposals were put to a vote this year and averaged 42% support from shareholders. Pay vote proposals won majority support at seven companies, including Verizon, Motorola, Blockbuster, Ingersoll-Rand, Clear Channel Communications, Par Pharmaceutical, and Activision.
Verizon's board has agreed to hold a say on pay vote starting in 2009, but the other companies haven't disclosed their plans.
A couple of weeks ago, a say-on-pay vote at Cisco Systems, Inc. won 48% support from shareholders — and that was after a good year for the company's investors!
So I think it's safe to say that say-on-pay is already yesterday's news, even though most companies and their boards don't know it. Like majority vote policies for director elections, which are now in place at two-thirds of the S&P 500, there's no point in boards fighting say-on-pay or making it a big issue. It's not even a binding vote, so who cares?
Much better to adopt a say-on-pay policy and move on. Spend the time and energy focusing on more important things, like engaging skittish shareholders and reminding them of why they should continue to be owners.
Give them a sense of what tomorrow's news might be for your company.

Hi all,
I've been lurking around the forum for a while gathering information and am now ready to take the plunge into building. I've decided to base my trailer loosely on the Benroy design, but with an even simpler design. I'm building on a 5x8 aluminum trailer from Northern Tool. My plans are to keep it a 'woody' and my target is to keep it less than 1,000 pounds.
I'll start a build journal once the trailer arrives (early next week) and I get started on the project.
Thanks to the forum for all the information, and I'm sure I'll have specific questions to ask as I go.

Vassar's new admissions website garnered a Gold Award in the 43rd Annual University and College Designers Association (UCDA) competition in the digital media category. Senior Web Designer Christopher Silverman, who led the design team, accepted the award on October 12 at the UCDA proceedings in Louisville, Kentucky.
There were over 1,000 entries in the competition, with 114 in the digital media category. Only eight awards were given overall, and only two in the digital media category. The winning site can be viewed here.
The new site is improved in several significant ways, notably in greater adaptability for viewing on mobile devices. Larger, non-justified typography has enhanced legibility and photography plays a major role in the new design.
"Visually, one of my primary goals was making the site friendly and distinctive. Applying to schools can be a complex and intimidating process, and I wanted to avoid the impersonal overtones I noticed on other admissions sites," says Silverman. "I selected typefaces with a clean, contemporary feel, emphasized space and color, and included illustrative elements where possible. I've also customized the designs for different page sections, to convey the information more distinctively and to reflect Vassar's unique character and diversity."
The UCDA Design Competition recognizes the best of the exceptional design work done to promote educational institutions. Founded in 1970, UCDA was the nation's first and only association for professionals involved in the creation of visual communications for educational institutions. Over the years, it has grown to an organization comprised of more than 1,000 members throughout the United States and Canada.Vassar College is a highly selective, coeducational, independent, residential, liberal arts college founded in 1861.

The BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller
And a Look at Each BOB Duallie Stroller Model
A BOB Revolution Duallie Stroller or another BOB Duallie stroller will help you stay fit and bring your two children with you.
Often times a mom has her first child, she gets a BOB stroller and falls in love with the quality and performance of her BOB. So naturally when baby #2 comes along, she upgrades to a BOB Duallie, the Bob double stroller. If you're a lucky mama or papa of twins, you're in the right place because you can get it right the first time by selecting the right BOB Duallie stroller for you.
The BOB Revolution Duallie stroller and the other Duallie models go through rigorous testing for your and your child's safety. BOB jogging strollers have the passed thorough inspection by respected independent testing laboratories for both the U.S. and Canada. For safety, it is recommended that babies be at least eight weeks old before riding in a BOB Revolution Duallie stroller or any other Duallie. If your baby cannot yet hold up his or her own head, you will need to use head and neck support. Babies must be at least eight months old before being taken on off-road or jogging.
Here's some more great news about Bob Duallie strollers. You can now purchase an Infant Car Seat Adapter, turning your Duallie into a travel system. However, it is not suitable for twins, only siblings because you cannot fit two car seats. The adapter set comes with a snack tray for your kiddos, too.
BOB Duallie Strollers Standard Features
The BOB Revolution Duallie stroller and the other BOB Duallie stroller models have the following features:
BOB Duallie Strollers at a Glance
The high performing BOB Revolution Duallie stroller has slight variations in design, weight and features with the other Duallies. Let's take a quick look at each for comparison.
Links click to a full detailed review for the SINGLE stroller, which still has the same features, just one seat.
Revolution Duallie
This is the most popular of the BOB Duallie strollers with the front swivel wheel that allows for maximum maneuverability. The Revolution can be taken on a variety of terrain from muddy bumpy trails to sandy beaches and it handles with ease. The adjustable suspension system makes a smooth ride for your two small passengers.
Overall reviews for the Revolution Duallie are overwhelmingly positive for the superb quality of this stroller. The BOB Revolution Dually is priced at approximately $630 - $660 and while the initial outlay of cash is painful, parents give this double stroller 5-star reviews across the board for improved seating for the kids, superior maneuverability and exceptionally smooth ride. Read the full review of the single stroller for an accurate expectation of the BOB Revolution Duallie stroller.
Here is an extensive review of the BOB Revolution Duallie:
Amazing, huh? Buy your Revolution Duallie HERE for a fantastic deal.
Sport Utility Duallie Stroller
Presenting the 4x4 of strollers - many owners of this Duallie live in rural areas and rave at how durable it is. The 16x2-inch knobby tires and fixed front wheel is made for all sorts of terrain, from bumpy roads, cracked sidewalks and uneven trails.
The Sport Utility Duallie stroller has an excellent suspension system, keeping the ride remarkably smooth for your kids as you explore the outdoors. It has the toughness and durability of a mountain bike with its aluminum frame and polymer wheels for superior traction.
Make sure you want a fixed wheel before deciding on this stroller, as some reviewers were disappointed that this Duallie is fixed wheel. But did this stroller end up with a lousy rating? Read the full review and see what else customers thought at the BOB Sport Utility Stroller review.
Ironman Duallie Stroller
For serious runners who require top safety features and on-road performance, the BOB Ironman Duallie stroller can do the job. The Ironman Dually is one of the lightest jogging strollers in its class, weighing in at only 31.4 pounds, with the least rolling resistance. The stiffer 3-inch suspension allows for more precise maneuverability and response while running and the tires are 16-inch high-pressure road slicks.
The Ironman Duallie comes in racer yellow or blue and the price is approximately $520. This Duallie got near unanimous 5-star ratings with only a couple of 4-stars in Amazon and BabiesRUs with owners remarking how the weightless smooth ride keeps their running pace going strong and their kids enjoyed the ride. Find out exactly why these customers rave about the Ironman and all its superb features at the BOB Ironman stroller review. The review is for the single Ironman, which has exactly the same features and benefits, aside from measurements and weight. (Duallie is 34 lbs and 30.63" wide. )

ICAREC hosts networking event for Service Leavers and employers/
The Intelligence Corps Association Resettlement Employment Cell (ICAREC) held a networking event in London on Monday night. (24th April)
The evening gave Service Leavers the chance to meet with employers, hear about what they do and find out about opportunities within their organisation.
Employers, such as Ernst and Young attended the event, with SaluteMyJob's Client Relationship Executive, Major (Retired) Ian Gibbs, one of the guests.
Ian said: "It was great to see a number of employers actively looking to employ Service Leavers and understand the value they can add to their organisation. Events ran by Regimental Associations like this, give Service Leavers a chance to not just meet with employers - but to see what opportunities are out there for them when they leave."

Bulova 1963 Surf King
Stainless steel, re-finished black dial with luminous marked silver markers and silver luminous Dauphine hands. 11 Al 17 jewel movement marked M4.Case back is stamped BULOVA M4, Stainless Steel , Shock Resistant, Water Proof, Anti Magnetic. Nothing on the inside case back. 1964 Surf King I believe. Watch center of add page.
There were not as many Surf King variants in the Model lists as I thought there would be.
The Fall 1961 list gives us some case color in the "newer watches" section.
Further down in this 1961 list- after the "newer watches" section- in the "Cumulative" model section, it only has the same four watches listed as available.
By Spring 1964 (the last list we have) there were still only 7 variants available in the cumulative section.
Not that many variants for a watch series with two variant letters. We see the GW appear by 1964, but dial color is not given. The BW, DW and FW have Black dials (Blk).

Destination: Vasquez Rocks / Activity: Hiking / Footwear: Teva sandals / Jacket: c/o WithoutWalls
You've probably already seen this spot just north of Los Angeles, since it's been in TV shows like Star Trek, Friends, and Power Rangers. Formed by erosion 25 million years ago and more recent activity along the San Andreas Fault, Vasquez Rocks is made up of strange and other-worldly rock formations.
These days, Vasquez Rocks not only plays an interesting role in entertainment, but makes for a great desert getaway just 45 minutes away from the city. There are several trails to get in good hiking time and always free parking. If you're really into earthquakes and geology, you should definitely plan a trip to Vasquez Rocks to hit up the Geology Trail. Starting on the Pacific Crest Trail, you'll eventually veer off and hike along tilted slabs of rock and prominent boulders for scrambling.
This summer our favorite go-to sandal is Tevas! We've been sporting Tevas since we were little girls, and would fight over which colors to get and who got what. I've been hiking in mine, and although I wouldn't say they're built for trails or traversing rocks they do the job on lighter hikes and your everyday adventure. Plus, they're so cute and they come in so many colors! What's not to love?!

BLOG: HG Gundam G-Self Option Unit – Space Pack
|From all the GUNDAM Reconguista in G teasers and trailers released so far, the G-Self (or Gundam G-Self) is often seen utilizing two option units. First is the Atmospheric Pack, which is included in the regular HG Gundam G-Self release. And second is the Space Pack, which Bandai is going to sell as an add on kit to the earlier G-Self release.
Aside from the Space Pack itself, the set will also include a more iconic red-and-white shield, another beam rifle, and a Core Fighter which the G-Self apparently has. Though as with similar High Grades, this will be non-transformable.
Random Question: Will the G-Self have a mid-season upgrade?

ASU fires Jenkins as head football coach; Eley named interim
Combined Reports
Alabama State University President, Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr., announced that Donald Hill-Eley will move into the role of Interim head football coach after Brian Jenkins was relieved of his duties on Friday.
Jenkins was released after leading the ASU football program to an 0-5 start this season and a record of 9-17 over the past two-plus years.
"We would like to thank Brian Jenkins for his time at Alabama State," stated athletics director Jennifer Lynne Williams. "It was a tough three years in terms of wins and losses for coach; but I am comfortable that he will have success in his future endeavors and will end up on a sideline soon."
Eley joined the program in 2015 after a one-year stint as the wide receivers coach at Norfolk State and has served in the role of Associate Head Coach during that time. The longtime Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) coach spent 13 seasons at Morgan State (2001-13). After his first season as offensive coordinator, Eley spent the final 12 as head coach and was named 2002 MEAC Coach of the Year. His 59 wins rank third all-time in Bears' history.
He spent four seasons at Hampton (1997-2000) as offensive coordinator and pro liaison, helping the Pirates win an HBCU National Championship, two MEAC titles and the 1999 Heritage Bowl.
Eley spent four seasons in professional football in the Canadian Football League, first with the Baltimore Stallions (1994-95) as receivers coach before two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts as a guest coach (1996-97). Hill was on the staff of three straight Grey Cup championship teams (1995-97) during his time in the CFL.
"I would like to thank Dr. Ross and Alabama State University for entrusting me with the football program during these tough times," Eley said. "I look forward to the opportunity of leading these young men at this point n their lives."
Eley will assume his duties immediately.

Changes 2012 is about the three year journey of a man named Paul Renn, who is selected by the eternal to awaken those within the human species who have the capability to bring humanity to a new awareness of their place in the universe. To do this, he and those who share this journey must survive amidst the current chaos of human understanding that has separated our species, one form another, into powerful global tribes. Those diverse cultural and religious beliefs, once necessary for the survival of our ancestors, have now become the nemesis of human advancement, and even its survival. In our present global atmosphere the power to enforce those archaic tribal beliefs, despite the possibility of annihilation, has put a slumbering humanity in great jeopardy. There are many obstacles in this odyssey, both physical and psychological, as Paul Renn journeys between the plains of heaven and earth. Those he meets on the eternal plain instruct him and assist him, but it is up to Renn and those he meets and awakens on earth that must succeed in saving as much of humanity as they can. The last full era of mankind is ending; a new beginning is at hand. Those who wish to survive must learn to live among each other as one world tribe, the human tribe. The time has come when first sentient species in the universe that holds great promise in the eyes of the eternal must change, or perish and be forgotten.

Before moving ahead, I would like to ask from the readers that with all different available options of best RC rock crawler and RC rock crawler for beginners. What they select. Do they go for rock crawlers, truggies, buggies, nitro, on road, four-wheel drive, two-wheel drive, off road & even other accessible RC car mainly for this matter?
Beside this, they should never forget that they have all these options to ponder that which gauge is considered perfect for them. Are they going to race and practice at racetrack & bash in their park and backyard. So, what they should choose while considering their budget.
- Electric or Nitro RC Cars for Beginners
It is worth stating that electric truly means that the rechargeable battery would run the RC car & nitro RC jeeps or car would be run with fuel. It is advisable that make no blunders, as this is most vital question, which people must ask from themselves while determining that which RC jeep or car is perfect for them.
When it comes to Nitro power then it is vital to share that it is for people if they truly like & love the sound of the loud engine thriving down the roads & consume smokes filling air when running their RC car. People would be capable of running their RC car longer as compare to electric cars. It simply mean that when the fuel of the car run out they can easily refuel & continue running their RC.
Beside this, electric Power driven RC jeeps or cars are always for readers if they prefer very low maintenance RC jeep or car which is also able to run indoors. When their battery dies, they can easily recharge it. Furthermore, electric power driven RC cars and jeeps are cleaner & effortless to run & maintain. Different electric motors, which are utilized for running electric power driven RC cars and jeeps never, need tuning just like the nitro engines, besides they hardly require any maintenance.
In short, electric RC jeeps and car cost quite less cost to run & sometimes the purchase cost is very low as compare to the Nitro RC jeeps and car.
- Scale
Readers should know that scale simply refers to size of RC car. The scale always range from 1/28- 1/5 however, remember that smaller the next part of number, the larger a RC car or jeep. By far, extremely famous scale of RC cars for beginners are 1/10 & 1/8.
Moreover, they are always of the great acquiring value & considered practical when it comes to carry all around & work on. In case, readers have extra space & never mind carrying additional weight then 1/5 size four-wheel RC jeeps and cars are considered perfect contestants of RC cars for beginners.
- RTR or Kit
It is important to state that easily novice RC cars or jeeps are ready to run. The reason, they are nearly 95% preassembled thus, people are able to enjoy their brand new RC car or jeep as quickly as possible. All they need to do is to simply charge & place car's batteries, afterwards fuel up now they are all set to have some memorable time.
Beside this, RC car or jeep kits are generally race RC cars, which do not contain motors, batteries, exhaust, engine, radio transmitter and receiver. The main purpose of the kit is for people to build RC car or jeep from ground up & purchase all of other components required mainly based in their personal preferences.
- Off Road Vs. On Road
People have to run the off road RC jeeps or car on nearly all terrains. Moreover, just as Gravel, grass, dirt & the local park, their backyard & huge range of other important places. Therefore, I suggest off-road RC jeeps or cars for beginners as they are able to run them almost everywhere even also on-road in case they only switch tires. It is important to note that off-roads RC cars are highly durable as compare to on-road cars & they would forgive their beginner mistakes.
Furthermore, in case people have complete access to empty parking lot & on road RC pathway then on-road RC jeeps and cars are always considered as an ideal option particularly if they truly want the best on-road RC jeep and car. If people are willing to contest on-road RC jeeps and cars then they will surely need complete access to the race track.
So what Have You Determined Yet?
It is important to note that high performing RC cars for beginners are truggies and buggies. Working at the native RC contest I always observed firsthand that how much misuse & hard driving truggies and buggies could withstand. Moreover, off-road RC jeeps and car are especially designed for handling tough terrains & conditions thus making them highly durable however, always remember that electrical RC are the better choice.
When it comes to perfect RC cars for beginners, thus it is worth stating that rock crawlers are always considered as the best ever option in this regard. Contrary to truggies and buggies, these rock crawling fiends are particularly designed for going over rocks, boulders while having controlled & precise speed. Rock crawlers are nearly exclusively electric power driven to permit people t precise control their novice RC car check. Obviously, if people need something between truggies and buggies & crawlers electric trucks are simply for them.
My name is Morgan. The rock crawler has produced in an early time, but it was not as popular as today. Now, people have considered it as the most important thing to help them reduce stress after the overload of working and studying. Furthermore, the rock crawler also is the best way to satisfy their passion on racing. It is not dangerous, but fun. We hope that you will have a good time. If you have any comment or question, please do not hesitate to ask us at any time.

Easter is for brunch, amiright?! I know the celebration of Easter is a whole lot bigger than just brunch, but… we have to eat right?
I have an Easter menu for you that is quick, healthy and delicious. My little ones even had a hand in helping!
The main dish is a family recipe of ours. This is a dish we always have around the holidays, so with Easter coming up, I knew it was time to make it! I love eggs, but have never been a big fan of crust on a quiche, so it's no wonder this recipe is a favorite of mine. You can even make this dish the night before and just pop it in the oven the next day!
Easy Easter Brunch (that the kids will love too)
Crust-less Chili Cheese Quiche
10 Eggs
1 Can Green Chili's
1 Pint of cottage cheese
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
16 oz. shredded cheese (we use pepper jack)
Preheat oven to 350
Spray non-stick cooking spray in 13×9 pan
Beat eggs until fluffy. Add flour, baking powder, salt. Then stir in cheese. Pour into baking dish and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 for 35 min. Note, you can also just mix and bake. You don't have to let it sit overnight.
Quick aside, f you're like me, you probably have a bowl full of brightly colored eggs sitting in the fridge, I set mine out to add a little color to the table and also hope that some get eaten!
Macaroni Salad with Lemon Thyme Dressing
12 oz short cut macaroni
1 cup thawed frozen peas
Couple slices of cooked bacon, chopped up
Cook your noodles according to the package, rinse with cold water. Add peas and bacon. If you're making this dish ahead of time, don't add the dressing to the salad. It's best to dress it, just before you're going to serve it.
Lemon Thyme Dressing
3/4 cup mayo
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon whole grain Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
zest of 1 lemon
Whisk everything together until thick and creamy. Don't skip the fresh thyme! It really adds such a bright and unique flavor to the dressing.
Recipe from The Cozy Apron (except I used bacon instead of pancetta)
Easter brunch also means there should be ham. I don't know why, but Easter and ham go together like peanut butter and jelly for me. If you have a Costco membership, I highly recommend getting your ham from there. They carry fully cooked big 'ole chunks of ham. I just sliced mine up and served it cold.
Next hit up your local Trader Joe's, pick up some tri colored carrots and a lemon pound cake mix.
Roasted Tri Colored Carrots
Toss some olive oil, salt and pepper on them and roasted in the oven until they started to look crispy. Easy and they were the perfect veggie side dish!
Lemon Pound Cake with Lemon Icing
I took a little help and bought a box mix from Trader Joe's. I made a few very minor adjustments. I followed the directions on the box, but I added in the zest of a lemon into the cake mix. Also when it came time to make the icing, I used lemon juice instead of water. It was SO good. Definitely a hit with the kiddo's!
Okay, now onto my favorite part of the brunch…
Rice Crispy Bird Nests with Chocolate Eggs
I've seen videos floating around on my facebook page showing these adorable treats and I knew I had to make them!
Mix up a batch of rice crispy bars. Instead of spreading them in a pan, lightly press them into a muffin tin and form a well in the center. Make sure you spray the pan with some non stick cooking spray.
While those are setting up, make your "grass". Mix a couple drops of green food coloring, a little water and some shredded coconut. Lay out to dry for just a bit.
Should be time to get your nests out of the muffin tin, sprinkle a little "grass" in the well and then place your chocolate eggs in the center. Voila, you've now brought the most adorable dessert to Easter Brunch.

KELOWNA - With the arrival of the spring season, everyone in the Central Okanagan is encouraged to get outside and explore our fantastic Regional Park system.
Communications Officer Bruce Smith says, "We have trails suitable for people of any age, fitness and mobility. And in support of our region's aging demographic, we've created a new booklet: 'Active Okanagan – Be outside; be involved; be engaged'."
The 40-page, full colour publication fits easily into a backpack and highlights outdoor parks and trails for people of any age.
Smith says, "The user-friendly 'Active Okanagan' booklet showcases 15 regional parks in every area of the Central Okanagan. Each offers easily accessible amenities, activities and opportunities for seniors and people with reduced mobility to get out and enjoy the outdoors.

He adds, "This newly created age-friendly program compliments efforts undertaken in many Regional Parks over the past few years to improve accessibility and trail conditions; the addition of wayfinding trail signage and clearly marked trail elevation and difficulty ratings."

For the second time in three years, the Eastern Oregon women's soccer team saw its season end with a close first-round loss in the NAIA National Championships.
Westmont's Maddi Berthoud scored the difference-making goal in the 26th minute, and the ninth-ranked Warriors made the early tally stand up in a 1-0 win over the Mountaineers Saturday afternoon in Santa Barbara, California.
"We stuck with them. I think the second half was more in our favor," head coach Jacob Plocher said. "We weren't quite good enough (Saturday) to get it done, but we're still right there with that group (of quality teams)."
The score matched that of EOU's only other national appearance, a 1-0 home loss to Biola in the first round of the 2015 postseason.
Berthoud put in a short goal on a cross from teammate Bri Johnson. It was just the second goal given up by EOU in the last 11 games.
It proved to be enough. EOU struggled to generate offense, taking just six shots and putting only two shots on goal, both of which were stopped by Westmont goalkeeper Gabi Haw. The Warriors, by comparison, took 14 shots and put four on goal, three of which were saved by EOU keeper Cydni Cottrell.
Morgan Farrington and Chelsey Nicol gave EOU the best opportunity for an equalizer late in the first half with the team's lone shots on frame in the closing minutes. Mariana Madrigal saw two opportunities go wide in the second half. In the closing minutes, Yasmin Mookerdum had a shot blocked by a defender and Taylor Boyer saw an attempt sail high.
EOU's season ends at 13-4-2 overall, a record that will go down as the second-best mark in program history behind the 2015 team's 17-3-1 mark.
But the 2017 squad did what the team two years ago didn't — win the regular season Cascade Collegiate Conference title and the CCC tournament title.
"They worked hard. They set the goals that they wanted to accomplish," Plocher said. "We achieved things that we weren't expected to. I told the group we've set the foundation. We know what the standard is."

Two big carryovers make one fine day
NEW YORK - The power of pick six carryovers to drive racetrack handle was on stunning display last Wednesday at Aqueduct and Santa Anita.
A perfect storm of chaotic results at the two tracks last weekend created a rare pair of bicoastal carryovers on what otherwise would have been a sleepy Wednesday in January at both tracks. Instead, horseplayers closed the book on Sunday's racing knowing there would be a three-day $403,438 carryover at the Big A and an extra $623,110 in the kitty at Santa Anita. With both tracks dark Monday and Tuesday, handicappers had an unusual three-night, two-day window to analyze the daylights out of the two Wednesday six-packs. For those brave souls who tried both, it was a seamless doubleheader, with the first leg in California going off just 14 minutes after the finale in New York.
They sent it in, to the tune of $1.1 million on Aqueduct's pick six and $2.7 million on Santa Anita's, leading to nearly weekend-sized handles at both venues - $9.4 million in Ozone Park and $11.3 million in Arcadia. The following day, with no carryovers on offer, the respective totals were $5.8 million and $7.1 million.
The incremental volume was not confined to the pick six itself. When bettors put more time into handicapping a card in order to play a pick six, they bet their individual as well as sequential opinions, hedge their pick six plays, and get involved in other pools once they perish in the big one. At Santa Anita, for example, the late pick four pool was $513,120 on Wednesday and just $322,842 on Thursday. The same bet at Aqueduct handled $251,703 Wednesday and slipped to $149,314 Thursday.
The two carryover sequences unfolded similarly, with roughly 100 winners for each track's combination of five low-priced winners and one somewhat tricky maiden. At Aqueduct, the payout was $12,958 for five victors at 4-1 or less, including favorites in the last three legs, and a $22.40 first-time starter from trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. Santa Anita's winners collected $18,992 for five triumphs at 3-1 or less, including a 2-5 shot in the feature, and a $31.60 new gelding dropping from an $80,000 to a $32,000 maiden-claiming tag.
Of course that sounds easier than it was. You can't be as creative as you needed to be in those two maiden races six times without spending a fortune, nor is every logical-sounding winner a must-use. One nitwit I saw in the mirror this morning went a rousing 3 for 6 at Aqueduct, getting knocked out in the very first leg by a 7-2 winner he wouldn't have used at 72-1 and then taking aggressive and apparently misguided stances against two winning favorites later on.
The 5-of-6 payoffs of $113.20 at Santa Anita and $135.50 at Aqueduct were not very consoling, especially to anyone whose only miss at Aqueduct was needing favored Miss Vanity in the third leg. The payoff probably would have been only $5,000 or so with her winning at 8-5 rather than falling three-quarters of a length short to 4-1 Miss Linzer, but anyone who took that particular defeat deserves at least a fruit basket and a hug for a truly staggering bad beat.
Miss Vanity, breaking from the rail in a mile race for $35,000 statebred maiden claimers, cruised to the lead through moderate fractions of 48.03 and 1:14.97 and looked long gone, widening her 5 1/2-length lead with just a quarter of a mile to go. As it turned out, all she would have needed to do was run her final quarter in true trotting-horse time of 30 seconds to prevail, but it took her a bit more. Shortening stride badly and proceeding in slow motion, she coughed up a seven-length lead in the final furlong as Miss Linzer mercifully stopped the timer in 1:45.27 - not a mile and 70 yards or a mile and a sixteenth, but for one mile.
This may have been a historic moment in the annals of New York Thoroughbred racing. No one can remember a one-mile race being run as slowly as 1:45, or the final quarter-mile fraction of any race being run in over 30 seconds. Miss Linzer's winning Beyer Speed Figure of 33 - upgraded from a raw figure of 27 to account for the only slightly dull track - may also be the least it has ever taken to win a race in New York.
If you had her in the pick six, though, you don't have to give back the money.

In case you missed it on social media yesterday, I passed my Dietitian exam!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am finally, officially, Kacie Barnes, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist!!!!
I can't begin to tell you how excited, relieved, overjoyed, and grateful I feel. I filled these past few years with countless hours of studying, going to classes, 1200 hours of internship rotations, and a few breakdowns along the way. I am so proud of earning a Master's in Clinical Nutrition and becoming an RD! (RD and RDN are the same thing, but more people are switching to saying RDN these days.)
Preparing for the RD exam has been a huge weight on my shoulders the past few weeks, especially since I knew I was on a major deadline. My 2nd baby is due to arrive October 4th, and I did NOT want to be taking the exam within a few weeks of my due date! No need to stress about going into labor while taking one of the most important tests of my life…seriously.
My little sidekick and I celebrated after the exam with some cookies!
Now that it's over, I can breathe a sigh of relief. And today, I wanted to share with you a little more about what made me switch careers in the first place and start down this path about 4 years ago.
Why I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Back when I was in college, I wanted to eat the right things, but I had no idea who to trust. I spent years following the advice in magazines, tips from friends, and random things I read on the internet. At that time, I was convinced that fat (from food) was the enemy. Everything I read seemed to agree that eating fat made us fat, slow, and unhealthy. Looking back, I feel SO angry that I followed this advice. I got to a point where I really didn't feel very healthy, despite following the info in all these articles that I thought I could trust. I had stomach aches every day. I went to a GI doctor, a Nutritionist at a gym, a chiropractor, a physical therapist, a licensed counselor…the list goes on. I was struggling with digestion issues, anxiety, and a nagging hip injury. The most frustrating part of all of this, is that despite KNOWING things weren't right in my body, no one could seem to help me feel better.
I had always had an interest in nutrition, but after graduating college was when I really started doing deeper research in the subject. It's when I started looking beyond whatever Cosmopolitan magazine had to say and started looking for information from experts. And I was addicted. I absolutely loved learning about how food affects our bodies and what we need to heal and nourish ourselves. I was so fascinated, and so uninterested in the career field I was in, that I knew I had to devote my life to learning as much as I could about nutrition, and sharing that with other people. So much of what I had been following for years, reading in magazines and on the internet, was flat out wrong. How could that be? How could there be so much bad information out there? I had to become a voice that could prevent other women from falling into the same accidentally unhealthy path that I had.
It became even MORE important to me when I became a mom, and had the huge responsibility of caring for and feeding my son. I always want to do the absolute best thing for him, and learning about pediatric nutrition is just one of the ways that I can care best for my family.
So what ended up happening with all of those health problems I was struggling with? Believe it or not, none of the doctors I went to for GI issues EVER even mentioned that my problems could be diet related. But when they couldn't find anything wrong with me besides saying I had reflux, I knew deep down that there had to be something else I could do besides just take medication. I started experimenting with my diet and learned SO much about my body and my digestion in the process.
And that "Nutritionist" I went to see? Yeah, I went to see her after having bronchitis followed by a nasty stomach bug, and told her I wanted to put back on some weight in a healthy way and build up my immune system. You know what she told me? That I had too high of body fat, didn't need to gain any weight, and that I was too "alkaline" and needed to focus on balancing my pH. Ummm, what? Luckily I realized that she was kind of nuts- but it really disturbed me that she could be telling other women the same thing- that they need to lose weight- when there is absolutely nothing wrong with their bodies. (For reference, I was probably at my lowest weight at this point and likely had a BMI of about 19, which is very very far from being overweight or needing to lose any body fat!)
So when I decided to go back to school and become a Dietitian, I did it because I want to help people. I want to help them find answers when no one else can. I want to use my expertise to help drown out all the bad advice and diet messages out there that give people the wrong ideas about food and their bodies. I want to show people how good they can feel when they nourish themselves in a way that is right for THEM – because diet is truly individual, and there are so many factors to consider when discovering what is right for you.
