I will provide reason and evidence to demonstrate that the Earth is a sphere.
1. Circumnavigation
People have circumnavigated the planet both by boat and plane, meaning they have traveled all the way around it and started and ended in the same location. If the Earth was flat, this would not be possible.
2. The Moon
During a lunar eclipse, the Earth's shadow blocks the Sun's light from reaching the moon, causing the moon to "disappear." During a partial eclipse, we can see the curvature of the Earth on the Moon itself. If Earth was flat, the Earth's shadow would look flat on the Moon.
3. Other planets
All other planets are round/spherical, there is no reason to suspect ours is any different. Also, other planets rotate too, which would be impossible if they were flat.
4. Timezones
If the Earth was flat, the Sun's light would reach the entire planet simultaneously and we would all operate under the same clock. This isn't the case because we do have timezones.
5. The horizon
With strong binoculars, you can go to the ocean and watch as ships slowly "sink" beneath the horizon as they move further away.
6. Constellations
If the Earth was flat, constellations would appear in the same orientation at all places on Earth. But they do not. Their orientation shifts when you view them from different locations.
My opponent wrote in the comments that he/she was expecting some of the arguments I shared. In return, I am expecting thought out responses to each.
Let's have some fun!
Thanks pro for accepting this debate. I hope we leave this argument with a bit more knowledge. I will give rebuttals and follow with a few proofs of my own.
The flat earth model is disc shaped with north being dead center of the disc, and the universe for that matter, going from this point in any direction will take you south, taking a left or right will take you east or west respectively. Taking the path of the sun moon and stars as shown here.
Lunar eclipses
This is tricky one because we haven't really fully figured out exactly what it is, we may never know. We do know it's not what we're told by modern astronomers though, I will discuss a few reason for this.
1) blood moons
Never in scientific history has a solid object created a red shadow.
2) selenelions(1)
Several accounts say that both the sun and moon were visible above the horizon. This would be impossible if the earth were directly between the two.
3)lunar waves(2)
More and more people are filming an anomaly happening on moon that can only be described as a refresh rate line. Similar to what you see through a security camera footage of another output device, or screen. The line actually changed the position of the moon. It's hard to catch but around 7 people have filmed it over 12 times. I'm not sure what it is myself but it looks cool as folk!
4) stars, atmosphere, night and planets in the moon(3)
Pictures and videos are popping up more often of a translucent moon, questioning the solidity of the moon.
5) lunar landings hoax. (4)
Even the most skeptical can watch one documentary about the lunar landings and with a little research, come to the conclusion that we didn't go to the moon. If you still think we went to the moon, this should wake you up.
There are more, harder to explain proofs, but we will start with these 5 things that tell us that the moon is not what we are told, and that the earth does not block the light on the moon.
Other planets
There is plenty of reason to say that objects in the sky have nothing to do with the ground that we stand on. These objects are all glowing, we assume that the sun and stars are balls of fire, does that mean we are to assume we are too? With this reasoning, can we also assume that since cats are animals, and dogs are animals that cats are dogs? Planets differ from stars in their relative motion only. They are as luminous if not more so than some stars. Telescopes show sphere-like objects because they use curved mirrors and lenses which cause the center of any object being viewed to bulge out at the center. Just because these objects in the sky seem to rotate, does not mean we do.
Timezones exist because of the Sun is not 93 Brazilian miles away. Its light cannot stretch all the way across the disk that is earth. It disappears like the ships do. A few simple observations can prove this. How does the sun's heat get to the earth through all that vacuum? It gives us 100 plus degrees Fahrenheit temperatures at the equator, but go only a few thousand more miles away to Antarctica and we never get above freezing. At that rate the next planet closer to the Sun would be far worse than molten lava. The next planet probably wouldn't even be able to exist except as a cloud of smoke. The moon, should be on fire as it goes nearer the sun, and freeze over on the other side.
Another proof is the sun's rays, we know that the Sun casts rays at different angles. Anybody that walks outside on a cloudy day can see this, despite what science tells us which is that they all run perpendicular.
Ships never go over any curve (which goes against common sense seeing that the natural physics of water is to find and maintain a level surface), they only disapear because they, and everything else follow a few rules of perspective, atmospheric perspective and the law of perspective(5). As we can barely make out the last mountain in the photo below, it isn't because it is over any curve. Atmospheric perspective is just dense, more thick air, smog, fog, heat, dust, dew, exhaust, anything that hovers close to the flat earth that will eventually, at a distance, block light from coming through all together. As it is thicker at lower altitudes, an object going away from you will appear to disappear from the bottom up, until it hits the vanishing point. A telescope (6)will bring it back into view, provided it can see through the dense atmosphere, which gets thicker with distance. Any videos, I've seen and proven this, that show boats going over the horizon only lower the camera to below where the waves break. A source of this claim that I couldn't prove did so might sway my opinion. I've yet to see a legitimate video of this happening though.
'But the whole universe is outside us. Look at the stars!
This is an exhert from 1984 by George Orwell. In the flat earth model, (i might add the Bible, and the great Nicholas tesla (7) back this up as well) the stars are much closer to the earth, and rotate around it. If this is actually the case, they would follow the two aspects of perspective. It is and they do. They are in the firmament. It exists, and rainbows are proof of it.
Having fun yet? Buckle up!
Proof 1
Stars and constellations (8)
The fact that we see the same stars for all of recorded history is proof that they are not part of an expanding universe. If it takes 12 months to orbit the Sun and after six month's time we are on the other side of it whatever stars where on the other side of the Sun we cannot see because the Sun blocks the light from the stars, and it has come around to that side, we would only be able to see the stars that were on the opposite side of the globe from the Sun. Polaris is visible in the north at all times of the year despite it being directly above the axis of the earth that is tilted away from the Sun. This is impossible in an ever expanding universe.
The moon(9)
The same above goes with the way the moon is lit up, if it is 38th is on the opposite side of the universe, the phases would not remain constant, they do, and even though it's supposedly a sphere, the northern hemisphere does not see a single degree more or less of it than the south does. If I held a beach ball, and two people looked at it from different angles, one would see a part of it that the other wouldn't and vice versa. The reported distance would make it less noticeable but not completely unnoticeable.

Thank you Con!
I look forward to my opponent's response!
We know that the earth is the center of the universe because of all the evidence, no stellar parallax, north star never moves, sun goes around us. This all proves the bible, and we are Not random coincidences floating around in a speck in the vast universe. Bop is still on you though. Up until last 100 years, we haven't been able to even reach the Antarctic circle, when we did, temps and storms prevented us from going too far, also, who said anything about an edge? If an infinite universe is conceivable, why not an infinite plain? You pretend to not have heard of the Antarctic treaty.
Blood moon
Remember bop is on pro, as I do not have to necessarily explain what an eclipse is, I simply have to disprove what he says it is, which I have. You never see red light or green (so blue and green makes red?) coming from earth outside the atmosphere, much less a red shadow. https://youtu.be...
In the video the shadow of the earth is obscuring the moon from the top down rather than the bottom up, contrary to what would be expected when the earth is passing between the moon and sun. The sun's light should be peeking over the earth's horizon and hitting the moon from the top down.
Are we to believe that "refraction" has not only placed the moon that far above the earth's surface, but has moved the shadow the wrong way to boot?
Lunar waves
Although I'm sure this will change, not many people just set up expensive cameras and film the moon all the time. The fact that this many people film it on separate occasions, with widely different set ups, prove that it is not an error with the camera. Furthermore, since bop is on pro, he can't explain it other than through atmosphere, but since we have atmosphere above us at all times, we'd notice this anomaly at any time without cameras. Atmosphere has not caused this effect anywhere else in nature, and it clearly moves the position in the moon.
Lunar landings hoax
I did in fact, give a source to a great video explaining the lunar landings was a hoax, and your source which supposedly claims they have no credibility is a dead link. As always I urge voters to do their own research, and make up their own minds.
There is in fact a video that was done on a balloon, which was launched and at its peak shows a sunspot on the clouds directly underneath the clouds, which would not happen if it were that far away at that angle, and the sun itself appearing much larger than normal, and at a 90° angle. And not the size difference cannot be blamed on glare because more atmosphere is more glare as shown in this picture. Since there is little to no atmosphere at this height, the sun is in fact closer.
Con ignores the subject of atmospheric perspective, and the fact that it is thicker at lower altitudes, which explains, without saying he is looking at them over a curve and at an angle, why he can see farther from a tree.
Con asks why hasn't anyone tried to blot out the stars, seriously? Airy's failure prove the stars go around the earth and the earth has not moved. https://youtu.be...
Con concedes to my last proof that the moon can't be a sphere if two people looking at it do not see any more of it If they are on opposite hemispheres.
Since con has only tried his best to disprove my arguments, bop was on him. I have successfully rebutted his rebuttals though and that burden has not been met.
Thank you Con! In this round I will make final rebuttals and write my conclusion.
"We know that the Earth is the center of the universe because of all the evidence, no stellar parallax, North Star never moves, sun goes around us." What evidence? Please be more specific next time. We do observe stellar parallax; take a look at the following photo. These are two long exposure photographs taken at the same time of the same thing in two different locations, Boston and San Francisco. They each show the movement of an asteroid (the white streak). We can see that the asteroid passes over slightly different spots of the background stars depending on where you see it from [1]. Also, the North Star doesn't change positions in the night sky from our perspective because it is directly overhead of the North Pole.
"..We are not random coincidences floating around in a speck in the vast universe. Bop is still on you though." I chose to defend that the Earth is a sphere, yet my opponent expects to make statements such as these without any support? The burden of proof lies upon anybody who makes a claim. I believe I have met my burden of proof throughout this debate, while I cannot say the same for my opponent and his claims.
After I brought up the hypothetical "edge of the world," Con writes "who said anything about an edge?" Every picture demonstrating what the flat Earth would look like has an edge, like the very first photo my opponent shared. It doesn't make sense that people wouldn't try to go to the edge. It seems like something important that more people would be trying to find if the Earth was actually flat.
And yes I have heard of the Antarctic Treaty. Take a look at what it says: "Article 2 – Freedom of scientific investigations and cooperation shall continue" [5]. It seems to me that something of this debate's nature would count as a scientific investigation. So why are't flat Earthers going on science expeditions to photograph the edge of the Earth?
Speaking on lunar waves: I don't know why the moon is so relevant to this debate. Nevertheless I will respond to Con's claim. "Furthermore, since bop is on pro, he can't explain it other than through atmosphere, but since we have atmosphere above us at all times, we'd notice this anomaly at any time without cameras." The videos my opponent refers to require the camera to be zoomed in 50x to 100x, much closer than our eyes can see. Any camera forced to extend its lens this far is likely to show some distortion. To believe the Moon is a projection is silly. A comment on one of these "fake moon" videos sums it up nicely. "Have you ever thought how they would project a hologram every day for the past thousands of years and follow the same schedule for thousands [of years?] It's irrational to even think the moon is a hologram" [2]. The Moon has been observed for thousands of years with the same 30 day cycle. To believe it is a projection is nonsensical.
Regarding the lunar landings hoax, I apologize for the dead link I shared. This link should work: http://news.nationalgeographic.com...
It mentions arguments such as how the flag appears to be blowing in the wind, which should be impossible in space. It simply appears like this because of the inertia of having just shoved the flag into the Moon's crust. Another argument is that the photos are faked because there are no stars in the background, just darkness. "The moon's surface reflects sunlight, and that glare would have made stars difficult to see. Also, the astronauts photographed their lunar adventures using fast exposure settings, which would have limited incoming background light" [3]. The list goes on, and so do the rational explanations.
With respect to the assertion that the Sun is much closer to Earth, my opponent's evidence is severely lacking. It is curious how the video he posted cuts from real shots of the sun directly to extreme close ups.
"Con ignores the subject of atmospheric perspective, and the fact that it is thicker at lower altitudes, which explains, without saying he is looking at them over a curve and at an angle, why he can see farther from a tree." This is nonsensical. It doesn't explain why there is such a clear, distinct cutoff between the visible part of the ship and the "invisible"/lower part of the ship. The atmosphere would have to go from incredibly thin above around 100 feet (the part we can see), and then incredibly thick under 100 feet (the part we cannot see). The atmosphere should gradually thicken, not suddenly become thicker.
Con has ultimately been cherry picking. My opponent refuses to accept that the Earth is round, that we revolve around the Sun and that we have been on the Moon, despite the absurd amount of video and photographic evidence that point to the contrary [4]. Con likely believes that NASA photoshops their photos and videos, yet when he shares photos and videos that he thinks support his case, he expects us to accept that they are real and accurate without stating why.
To conclude, it is beyond irrational to imagine that all the governments and space agencies would go to such great lengths to hide Earth's true shape. There is no possible way they could keep such a huge secret from each of the billions of people that live on Earth. Imagine all the staff they would need to edit their photos and videos to make the Earth appear round. You'd think at least one of them would pull a Snowden and release a "real" image of the flat Earth from their many satellites. Besides, what do they have to gain from spending so much time and energy trying to hide the truth from people?
It is a fact that the Earth is a sphere.

Best Chattanooga business stories of 2014
Six years to the day after revealing plans to locate its U.S. assembly plant in Chattanooga, Volkswagen officials unveiled a $900 million expansion that will create 2,000 more jobs to make a new midsize sport utility vehicle.
VW plans to show off another potential new model that may be produced here - a smaller SUV concept - at the Detroit auto show next month.
The additional vehicle offerings are intended to help the German automaker gain a bigger share of the U.S. market after sales of the Chattanooga-made Passat slowed in 2014.
The new midsize SUV is expected to roll off the assembly line for the 2017 model year. But it has already helped spur more suppliers to invest in the region, including the announcement in May by Plastic Omnium of a $70 million parts plant that will eventually employ 300 workers.
Martin Winterkorn, VW's chief executive, said plans are to make the seven-seat SUV off of the CrossBlue concept that was shown at the 2013 Detroit auto show.
"The USA remains one of the most important markets for the VW brand," he said.
VW, in addition to unveiling plans to assemble the midsize SUV by late 2016, will build a new research and development center that will employ 200 in Chattanooga. And VW is slated to put a new welcome center in downtown Chattanooga.
VW's Chattanooga plant, which began manufacturing the Passat sedan in 2011, already employs about 2,400 people.
Gov. Bill Haslam said the R&D center is "a new day" in Tennessee in that there will be more than just production jobs in Chattanooga.
"This speaks volumes for VW being as close to the customer at it can be," he said.
Christian Koch, who was named this year to head VW's Chattanooga operation, said the R&D center will house professionals with expertise in design.
The VW expansion comes as the United Auto Workers continues to try to organize the Chattanooga plant despite a 712-626 vote loss in a unionization election in February. The UAW has since formed a non-dues paying local and gained the right to meet with VW officials under a new company labor policy.
Gary Casteel, the UAW's secretary-treasurer, said VW's community engagement policy is "a step forward to building stronger relations between management and employees."
But the UAW is not the only labor group trying to represent VW workers in Chattanooga. The American Council of Employees, a rival group to the UAW, also endorsed the labor policy, igniting a renewed battle to gain official recognition from the automaker.
ACE Interim President Sean Moss said the policy will present employees with "a clear choice" between the local independent labor group he heads and the Detroit-based UAW.

Jones arrived in Brisbane with his team on Thursday ahead of the three-Test series against Cheika's Australia, admitting it had been a little too quiet from his good mate for his liking.
"He's been very quiet, it's a new Cheika we're facing at the moment but I'm sure the old one will come out," said Jones, as he begins preparations for the series opener at Suncorp Stadium on June 11.

The second electrician is on his way out here to give us an estimate on the cost to wire the shop. We need 220, 50 amps, to the shop for the kiln. Yes, I have this lovely kiln that I've been dragging around for three years. Haven't ever fired it up because we've moved several times and at none of those places did we have the right wiring.
That is all about to change. Hooyah. Phil and his dad built us an outbuilding this last fall, to be half motorcycle garage and half pottery shop. I love my half. Well, I got a couple feet more than half because the hubby is a generous man.
Still, my end has two windows and WILL have counter space, a big drying cupboard, space for the kiln, big shelves and little shelves. I'm so wired about it, makes me wonder why we need an electrician! Yay! It's in the works...finally. Once it's ready, I'll have to fire some practice pieces. I don't know if I can trust my inexperience to these practice pieces...because I've become fond of them.
Here's a couple of things I have ready to go in...
Once we have the kiln hooked up, I'll have a Kiln Blessing...maybe do a pit firing out in the sand lot to see what that's like, and we can roast s'mores while we're at it.
Oh--the electrician just pulled up! This is really gonna happen. I'm gonna have a kiln...a real, live, fire-it-whenever-I-want kiln.
Life is good, isn't it?

I'm Dennis Toppenberg Martínez and my goal is working on media, so I want to share online part of broadcast television's heavenly years through a concept of mine:
T1B (or The 1 Buildin') is a Netflix-type Video-On-Demand (VOD) membership service which is comprised of a selection of Disney's 1 Saturday Morning programming as originally broadcasted on the ABC Network with or without vintage commercials.
Disney's 1 Saturday Morning was the successor to both the iconic The Disney Afternoon block, which was running on TV syndication from 1990 to 1997, and the regular ABC Saturday Morning lineup, which started around 1966. 1 Saturday Morning fused five hours of Disney-produced cartoons like Disney's Doug (which previously aired on Nickelodeon from 1991 to 1994), Recess, Pepper Ann, reruns of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, which initially was airing on the network from 1988 to 1991, and even Warner Bros.' The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, which had been running on the ABC Saturday Morning lineup since 1986.
And not to mention some of the eponymous segments from the lineup like Manny the Uncanny, Great Minds Think 4 Themselves (hosted by Genie from Disney's Aladdin fame and voiced by the late Robin Williams) and the controversial Mrs. Munger's Class.
T1B is basically the ideal place for retro-Disney cartoon freaks on the planet to rediscover their most loved 1 Saturday Morning-period shows in a way they initially saw, giving them the experience of feeling like they were watching them in the past. Its fundamental objective is to make youngsters witness some portion of Disney's gloriously brilliant days, like they've never seen it before.
All assets raised will be utilized to cover the purchase of technical equipments, attorney fees and licensing of shows directly from Disney and WB. They are the main reason to look for crowdfunding, due to the scope of the project, not to mention that I got limited resources.
You will be able to access them on The 1 Buildin' by subscribing for just $5.00 a month. However, you can access them for a 7-day free trial. 1TB can be streamed on tablets and cellphones, from iPad to Chromecast.
T1B will be propelled on 2017, in the nick of time to honor the twentieth commemoration of the Disney's 1 Saturday Morning block.
Here's a look at the FundRazr Campaign below for more information:

Away from the law, we want to note and congratulate Cluj-Napoca for hosting the 60th European Artistic Gymnastics Championship from April 19-23. We also want to provide a special note of recognition to our Romanian athletes who worked their way into the medals ceremonies. Romanian team member Catalina Ponor won the Gold medal on the beam with a virtually flawless performance. Her win added to her already impressive collection of medals in European competitions, including this record-setting fifth Gold medal for the beam. Teammate Larisa Iordache added to the team's accomplishment by taking the Bronze medal in the same event. On the men's side, Marian Dragulescu took the Gold in the floor exercise competition and then complemented that achievement with the Silver on the vault.
Our congratulations to all of the competitors who participated in this grand tradition, and we want to provide a special round of applause to our Romanian team for their efforts.

Review In-Brief
- Sales Rank – 63.53
- Refund Rate – 50
- Link authority – 27.62
Final Word
Review too long? Well it'll be enough to read this summary where I provide Sudoku Solving Techniques an overall score. My purpose has been to use stats to produce a totally impartial review that can help to provide a clear idea of whether or not you should buy this product. I looked at the sales figures, the refund rate and the authority of the product's site to set up an overall idea of reliability. It's a computer algorithm, yes, but it should be a fantastic help nonetheless. So, the final score is 62.70/100 – a great score!.
It is time for yet another fine game-tester.org review. I make it my own mission in life to guide people with their tough purchasing decisions. I manage this, mainly, by examining sales data but I also make certain that each and every product on this blog has a 60 day money-back guarantee. So settle-back, loosen up, and get ready for the review! Oh, before we begin allow me to mention that I do have a bonus for everyone who purchases through my link – a nice freebie as a thanks from me. Just click here to read about that. One last thing before I start the review – please click here to learn about how this blog is financed. I don't want you to feel tricked, and you should realise that this post does contain some "affiliate links". Okay, let us get this show on the road.
Does it sell much?
To begin with, an admission. I am inclined to be impacted by the status of products. If I see everyone is purchasing something I have a tendency to come along for the ride. My reasoning? Well, if everybody wants it, it has to be fantastic, right? Of course, that's not often true but sales volume could be a great proof of quality. Luckily for you, I do have some sales information for Sudoku Solving Techniques . First, I've got a thing called Gravity which comes entirely from the payment processor. It provides us a rough hint of sales volume. Sudoku Solving Techniques has a gravity of 0.72, which is pretty low and could mean a low quality product, something I'd hate to see you waste your money on. Now, this gravity figure may not mean much to you. Hence, dear readers, I have examined the gravities of every product on this website and produced a sales rank! A rate of 100 means it's the most popular product here … and all the way down to 1 with the worst seller. So how about Sudoku Solving Techniques ? Basically, it gets a sales rank of 63.53, which signifies this is above average – fantastic! – another game-tester.org seal of approval.
Refund rate
Of course, I prefer to give my readers more than just sales stats. You want to know about a product's quality. Unfortunately, my time restrictions (and bank balance!) don't make it possible for me to try every product personally. So I use another stat – the refund rate.This stat comes straight from the payment processor, when it was available for a short time. Sudoku Solving Techniques scores 3 /5 which is the average score and usually means we either don't have any refund data or the refund amount is at an acceptable level – should be OK to proceed here.
Where is the sales page?
All right, what else can I tell you? Well, why don't we have a look at the domain that this product is bought from (SudokuVideoTutorials.com)? There are a few stats available that will provide us witha better idea about how efficient the product is. Firstly, we know the website has 12 pages – the idea is that the more pages it has, the older and more reliable it is. So, in this instance, 12 is definitely not that and could signify that this site is new. But, naturally, you couldn't just judge a website by the number of pages it has. They could all be junk! Instead, let's learn something from Google's book and take a look at the amount of other websites that are linking in to this one. Lots of links from quality websites signifies that this one is bound to be quality too. So SudokuVideoTutorials.com has 18 backlinks with an authority score of 27.62/100, which means it's got some links coming in, but it's still substandard (tread carefully).
Additional products – what else is this merchant selling?
We're nearing the end of this review now, but I still think there's a few more data to be found. I've hunted high and low and produced a list of all the other products this vendor is selling, and also any specials they have on at the moment. Let's have a look… So, it seems Sudoku Solving Techniques has no special product(s) on sale.
And what about any other products? No there aren't any for SudokuVideoTutorials.com.

Butterfly farm with family
Had a great CNY this year… especially when our baby girl celebrated her first CNY with us.
Since the mom need a time-off , we brought the boy to have a walk.
Actually we are looking for toy museum. But we are not sure where it has moved to. So we ended up in butterfly farm.
It has been years since our last visit to here. That was when dad was still alive. And so many things have changed.
They have more butterflies there and the whole place were decorated with much effort being put in.
And they even have charges for foreigners and local! I just love this. This should be implemented in such a way so that the locals can enjoy this place without feeling reluctant to visit this place due to the price.
Even for locals we have to pay RM 18 for adult, RM 13.50 for children, RM 10 for senior citizen. Hahaha… mom is considered senior citizen d lor. ^^ As for the foreigners, they will have to pay … I think is RM 27 for adult. Can't remember the price for children. :p
They even have a cartoon for kids to watch and it's really funny video clips. Talks about dragonfly vs bee. Not much of education but it was really funny and the kids & adults enjoyed it! (no pic on that though)
It was a hot day and lucky I'm dressed in a light attire to beat the heat. ^^
The boy definitely enjoyed himself as he got this time out and he took a lot of pictures there as well. Lastly he also got one ice-cream to chill himself by the end of the little tour.
And we the adults had fun too!
Just realized I didn't take picture with my sis cuz no1 help us take it >.<|| Mom's hand too shaky and same goes to the boy. Haha… too bad. We just need a tripod next time!
Family time rocks!

Tropical Spice Garden @ Teluk Bahang
Tropical Spice Garden… is one of the famous place in Penang for lovely couples to take their wedding pictures there… but normal people will also go la… good for family to mix around as you can bring your kids there to learn about the flora & fauna which can't be found easily nowadays…
I always wanted to go there for photo taking… but then never really has the chance.. and I have been making noise to go here for several times… hehehe… finally my friend agreed to bring me there… which I didn't expect… and I din bring my SLR along…>.< so… all the photos below taken with my Sony TX1 compact… 🙂
There wasn't many people that day.. although it was a public holiday… only a few families with kids … a couple taking their wedding pictures… and us …
The entrance fee is RM 14 for each adult… they also provided "chang mao oil" for us to put on our hands and legs to prevent mosquitoes bite…
I love this picture most although the small boat already floaded with water… almost half sink… 😛
And also this:
More pictures of Tropical Spice Garden:
Mostly the pictures here were more on natural view… no human.. hahhaha… friend was force to bring me here… so… no mood take pictures of human 😛 …
View from top of the hill…
There was a Spice Museum in there… small small one… just some information provided there only.. not really that informative thou…
Flowers found in here….
They also have one souvenir shop in here… which they have spices packed under Tropical Spice Garden's name… but I have to say they were quite costly lor… hahah… more for tourist one… 😛
The spices arrangement below almost same like the Spice Market's arrangement in Rasa Sayang Restaurant…
And I saw Vanila-in-bottle:
Say me katak-di-bawah-tempurung… I really don't know vanila looks like this… sumore is black in colour.. cuz the normal vanila we used for baking is in while colour one..>.<
Anyway…. the entrance fee quite expensive lo… nothing much to see…. and the map cost RM 5 / piece which friend said they should give it for free … >.<
P/S: It was an eye opening and good experience for me… now I won't be making noise of wanted to go there d since I'm there b4 d… 😛

How Can I Help My Child Overcome Shyness?
I'm worried about my daughter because she is extremely shy and has a difficult time making friends. Is there anything I can do to help her?
– Kathie
Being shy isn't a bad thing in itself — but if shyness is keeping your daughter from fully enjoying and appreciating the joys that go along with being young, there are some things she can do.
One of the best ways kids can let go of some shyness is to think of a few simple behaviors they would like to improve, then practice them. Let's say your daughter wants to work on talking to a friend. She can practice thinking of how she'd do it if she weren't so shy. Just working on smiling and saying "hello" is a good start. Complimenting a schoolmate on a job well done in class, a play, or a sports competition is another icebreaker.
Some kids find it helps to practice in front of a mirror, like they might practice lines for a play. This might help your daughter feel more comfortable with a new approach. Then she can practice smiling and saying "hello" in real life. It often helps to start with one or two people she likes.
She also could join some activities that she's interested in — whether it's the school newspaper or a sports team. She may feel nervous at first — that's perfectly normal. More practice will help the butterflies go away, so encourage your daughter not to give up.

Yesterday, my sister proved, yet again, how much she rocks. Twice.
She called, & before I could even open my mouth & say hello, she asked, "Liv? What are you doing?"
Me: "Watching tv...why?"
Sister: (sighing in relief) "Oh, okay. Good." She paused for a beat. "It's just...I saw that your college just called the house, but I didn't answer in time. They didn't leave a message, and I worried...Just wanted to make sure you're okay."
Me: "Well, actually....I'm watching tv in my hospital room, so..."
Sister: "No you're not. That's not funny." Then she hung up ;)
Still...she called.
After I wrote yesterday's post, I cried.
Sobbed, actually. Big, heaving sobs. The kind that made me use paper towels--not tissues--to soak up the tears. And the kind that made me laugh when I looked in the mirror...because my eyes were puffy & red & I looked so ridiculous I couldn't help but laugh.
And then I called my sister & hiccuped my way through explaining why I was crying.
Here's when you know you have a good sister:
I texted her: you awake?
Sister: going to bed.
Me: can i call?
I didn't wait for her response, but instead just hit her speed dial. She answered & immediately sensed the tears. "What's wrong?" she asked in slight panic. "Why are you crying?"
I explained & she listened. At 12:13 in the morning, seconds from going to sleep, she listened to me cry happy tears about being okay with celiac. She didn't tell me I was crazy, or weird, or make me feel embarrassed. She has celiac too, so she gets it. But even if she didn't have celiac, she'd get it.
And that's what makes her the best.
And that's what makes her the best.
Wishful Wednesday will be up in a bit :)
Wishful Wednesday will be up in a bit :)
{and after these last two posts, I'm putting sappy Liv back in the drawer for a while. you're welcome.}

If you've clicked around, you've seen this site is still a work-in-progress. Over the next weeks much of the old site info will be uploaded here, organized within the blog section. As well as very regular new posts of stuff that is going on in the shop. For example - I know of two Seeley-framed bikes that are on the benches now: One, a F750 Racer based on a Nourish Racing 8-Valve motor, and the other, a 1007cc Steve Maney Supercharged(!) Commando street fighter. Stay tuned for more.

SARL BOUILLEURS de FRANCE au capital de 50 000 € - RCS de Bergerac n° 800 968 190 - APE n° 2521ZZ
Hello Mr. Roux
I want to keep you informed of the progress of my installation.
Since the beginning of my installation I did change some details.
I powered my 4-way valve to reduce the amount of water to be heated by the boiler (only the volume of radiator circuit preventing the water through my boiler to minimize losses).
The valve also asked me some problems, I do not know if you have concerns, but I replaced the latter by a / 4 turn valve 1 motorized. (operation more reliable I think).
I also added a limit switch which opens the valve of the boiler only when the four-way valve is fully position heaters isolation circuit.
In the winter of my pump has passed away (22 years), I took the opportunity to replace it with another in self-adaptive flow.
Remember, I installed the boiler on a stove, who may not be subject to many calories, I think a fireplace insert the problem of inertia is less felt. It is true that I reduce the flow through the boiler to prevent excessive temperature fluctuations.
Here is the feedback about my system!
Sunday I met a friend, Mr. S. ........ who also wants to change the heating system. We were on your site, it will possibly contact you!

First test your boiler:
The drill pipe above my fireplace insert does not pose any particular problem, tracing and cutting the grinder rented for the occasion.
The boiler is set up easily on a length of about 50 cm above the nozzle connection with the adapter 150/154 mm.
The re-start is connected to a flexible duct 150 mm. I still use a wall mounting collar to keep up.
The water connection is against the current as I chose.
Once closed wall opening my corner fireplace is more "design" before and my wife is delighted. More than some painting to do!
The first outbreak and the result exceeds my expectations. Stainless steel switch trips after only 15 minutes of heating and water is already hot. It was not until half an hour and radiators distribute heat sufficiency. Once stabilized the system I see an average of 60 degrees out and 50 back. This difference tends to decrease after several hours of operation when the ambient temperature is higher.
I send you some pictures that will show you the small connection box which I added a neon lamp that tells me the state of the electrical circuit.
The setting of the switch is 75 degrees which corresponds to 150 after you smoke. Let me know if this sounds right?

The flue boiler is finally installed and running for 2 weeks. I had no problems installing, no problem and purge the system works perfectly. One small problem, I think the engine throttle is warmer than the water through the pump. Do you think this is normal?
The outside temperature starts to drop and I'll see the performance of the device.
The flue boiler is connected to three radiators of the house and I do not see this feeling cold at the other end of the house as the last winter, and the boiler is completely extinguished.
The boiler is fitted directly to the output of the insert and above the boiler is also directly connected to the casing of the chimney and therefore I did not use both connections "Poujoulat" you m 'were sold. So I will return these two parts that do not serve me and I think you will repay me.
Otherwise, I've used all the other rooms without a problem.
I will also put a comment on a forum, because I think your really awesome system.
Regarding safety in the event of a power a friend who has installed a slightly different system, advises me to do the backup power from a 12V battery and a device that converts 12V to 220V.
This allows for a few hours waiting to lower the heat in the insert.

My house is small, in the countryside and very poorly insulated. I have an old stove in my basement and some electric heaters that ate a lot.
Since I installed your flue boiler that I no longer use it to heat my bathroom, my bedroom and my living room. 3 radiators I asked with an additional 55 liters of hot water heater also heated by the flue boiler
Today it is 3 degrees outside and I'm 24 ° inside and 25 ° in the bathroom with the heat to low, this is too much, but I am comforted in the days when the temperature will be -10 °.
I'm sure to make great savings on my heating bill this year thanks to you burning only wood. More high EDF bills that put my little retreat undermined.
I am pleased to have invested in this system (in total almost € 3,000 with labor and the ball), thank you for your flue boiler of a frightening effectiveness !

Boeka Treats | Bo-Kaap's Favourite Recipe Book
The Bo-Kaap is quite possibly the most photographed neighbourhood in Cape Town. On any given day, a stream of tour buses rolls in and tourists roll out to photograph the rows of houses painted different candy colours. It must be difficult to get a good shot on weekdays when the overflow of commuters to the city squeeze their cars into whatever available parking spaces they can find in the cobblestone streets. More recently property developers have come sniffing around Bo-Kaap's prime location with their threat of gentrification. In spite of this, the locals endure and welcome outsiders to The Bo-Kaap Museum, to Atlas Trading for spices or to one of Bo-Kaap's restaurants. Together with the Islam faith, food is one way that cultural heritage in the Bo-Kaap is kept thriving. For the past 18 years, the Boorhaanol Islam Movement in Bo-Kaap has been publishing Boeka Treats, an annual collection of recipes for the dishes traditionally made by the Cape Muslim community during the month of Ramadaan. Boeka Treats has since become an institution; a vessel to pass down recipes and cultural knowledge through the generations. We asked Nazreen-Kiyaam Bassier, from Boeka Treats, about this much-loved publication and what dishes you might find in it.
Where does the name Boeka Treats come from?
"Boeka" is the term used when you break your fast after you've been without food from sunrise to sunset. It is traditional to break one's fast with dates and water. Thereafter most people have soup with a sweet treat (fritters, pancakes, koeksisters) and savoury treats (samoosas, daltjies (chillie bites), pies). Hence the term 'Boeka Treats'.
How did Boeka Treats come about?
Boeka Treats was first published in 1999. It was born out of the idea that we were losing our cultural heritage and we felt the need to put together a book of "Boeka-time eats". We also discovered that there was a need for Boeka time recipes. In its first year it proved to be so popular we decided to compile another the following year and now 18 years down the line Boeka Treats has become part of most people's homes and is a very sought after recipe book during the month of Ramadaan. However Boeka Treats is useful all year round.
Who contributes recipes to the books?
Recipes are passed on from our great grandmothers and recipes are featured from all over the world, adapted and adjusted to our tastes. Recipes are sourced from our community and people who are known to make the best, for example, samosas, koeksisters, doughnuts, cakes and foods are asked to share their recipe. The Boeka Treats team try and test these recipes to guarantee that they are flop-proof and on this basis they're added to our Boeka Treats book/s.
What characterises food from the Bo-kaap?
It's rich, aromatic and flavourful. The beauty in our food lies in the hospitality with which it is shared and the love with which it is made. [The flavours are] sweet and sour (denningvleis or sosaties), spicy (roti and curry, bredies ), aromatic, rich and flavourful (meat, chicken, fish breyani) just to mention a few.
What dishes are made for different life events: marriages, funerals?
For weddings, starters are usually an array of savouries served with a dip. (samosas, pies, half moons, quiches etc) traditionally main course is meat breyani followed by roast chicken served with vegetables and salads and roasted leg of lamb and when in season, crayfish curry as well at paella and desserts.
For funerals, many years ago it was worteltjies & ertjies (carrots & peas) with white rice and suikerboontjie bredie (sugar bean stew) and uiweslaai and achar/pickles (onion and tomato finely chopped in vinegar with a little sugar). Now most funerals serve akhni: a spicy rice and meat/chicken dish served with dhay (yoghurt infused with green chillies, coriander and spices).
What foods are typically made for Eid?
Eid morning is known for its soutvleis and gebakte brood with pastei (corned beef with freshly baked homemade bread and a big steak or chicken pie).

I read with great interest the recent guest commentary "Red snapper rhetoric troublesome" written by Fourchon charter captain and commercial red snapper harvester Steve Tomeny. This is an issue very important to the hundreds of thousands of saltwater anglers in Louisiana and other Gulf states.
Tomeny chastised certain organizations for going on a misinformation campaign by misleading the public about Gulf Council Amendment 40, which will give separate federal regulations and seasons to charter boat operations and private recreational anglers for red snapper harvest. As a member of one of those organizations Tomeny is certainly referring to, I assure him and the readers that I and my fellow coastal conservationists are not misinformed. We know exactly what these headboat charter operations are trying to achieve.
First, they are trying to make more money. During a recent public comment meeting this year, the commercial harvest interests spoke against another amendment that would have more fairly reallocated the red snapper quota between the 390 commercial snapper fishermen and the hundreds of thousands of recreational snapper fishermen in the Gulf. This would have expanded access for all recreational fishermen, including his charter operation.
Commercial interests assert that Amendment 40 is only leveling the playing field because charter captains who hold federal fisheries permits cannot fish the liberal state waters seasons. The Gulf Council had the option to give charters access to state seasons and chose not to. It is apparent that the solution is to give the federal waters to commercial operators and let private boat owners have the state waters (Louisiana's state waters extend only three miles from its coast). That gives an extremely limited opportunity for private anglers to fish for red snapper. Though the state has taken it upon itself to push that boundary, the federal government has responded by sending the Coast Guard after some fishermen who dare fish snapper beyond three miles.
Let's look beyond the rhetoric being spread by charter captains and environmental organizations prying them to say it. These fish are a public resource. They belong to us all, not just a select few who want their little personal slice.
I recently took my 8-year-old daughter on her first saltwater fishing trip, and it was a great way to introduce her to the rich resource we call "sportsman's paradise." It is a shame that these 390 commercial fishermen are pushing an agenda that will severely limit recreational anglers for now and future generations.

Six Ways To Increase Your Twitter Followers
We all want to increase the number of followers we have on Twitter. Unless you are a celebrity or popular for other reasons besides tweeting, you have to take the slow road to Twitter stardom.

Here are my top six ways to gain Twitter followers.
1. Tweet Content
People will consider following you if your tweet content is informative, educative, funny or somewhat useful to them. I tend to look at a Twitterer's stream before I decide to follow them to see if they will give any value.
2. Bio
Twitterers who fill out their bio and explain who they are and what they do gain people's trust easily. It gives the follower a feeling that they know you already and they can trust you.
3. Be Nice and Human
I find that it's easier for me to follow twitterers that are warm and friendly. I have had to unfollow a few people because they seemed cold and heartless just from their tweets. People who are all business no fun really don't impress me.
4. Engage/Interact
This is almost similar to 3 above but I wanted to mention it separately. Everyone loves a conversation or argument of some kind. I have silently fallen in love with some tweeter accounts just because the people behind them are constantly talking to other people. Providing value, jokes, inspiration and many other nice things through engagement.
5. Follow Back
This is one way that can surely gain you followers but I am not a fan of. There are lots of people out there that try to follow back as many people as they can. All you have to do is follow them. Whereas this works, I think it diminishes the value of your stream. I like to see tweets that are relevant and informative to me so I never follow people just because they've followed me. I have to mention that there are many people who are on Twitter to send out a message but don't read that many tweets. This is great for those kinds of people.
6. ReTweet
Everyone loves having their tweet retweeted. If you show people some retweet love, they might show their gratefulness by following you.
Whereas none of these points is a sure way to gain thousands of followers, doing most or all of them is a good start to increasing you follower numbers.
9 Responses
I have observed on my account that if you will tweet some good content then its definitely going to twitter followers! So i pretty much agree with the point no.1 and 6
Giveaway a free gift to all those who follow you. This is a great marketing approach that I got from another Twitterer. Every time someone new follows you, an email will generate notifying you. I message each person with a quick personal note and a link to a free downloadable .pdf file on a website. It adds a personal touch and kicks off the start of a great relationship -:)
thanks a lot for your information.
Ramadan Radwan.
Good content and early adoption of news and ideas are critical. In my view twitter is a way to get news and interact about it quickly and efficiently.
This is great advice, and I need to lighten up.

January is almost over . . . and oh how I love January!
Earlier this month as I took all the Christmas decorations down and reset my house, my soul was filled with peace and joy. On New Year's Day, my husband agreed to round up our four kids and work steady for 4 hours until every decoration inside and out of our house was boxed and stored in our attic. I was thrilled to have a team of helpers with this normally one-mom-job.
As I pressed into the new year, the rain began to fall here in Southern California. I know some of you around the country are sadden when a new year starts and all the festivities of last year are just memories in photos. It's back to regular life, work and schedules. Researchers say suicide and depression spikes during this time of year, but I say, "Let's embrace new beginnings!"
The beginning of the year holds all the possibilities of what God has in store for us. The first month brings the promise of newness and freshness and lastly, this cold winter month new beginnings to the last year's endings.
A new year – oh how I love you! Let me count three ways!
A time for setting goals – I'm a goal driven kind of gal. I love to set New Year's resolutions. Resetting my mind and focusing on the things God wants me to target in on, brings me great joy. No other time of year does the world stop and reflect on their lives and their direction. It's a perfect opportunity to talk about Jesus and the goals I am making for myself and our family. Even strangers will listen when you share about starting a Bible study or reading through the Bible in a year. New Years' resolutions invite conversation that we can point towards Jesus. I also love how God is in the business of shaping and changing us. I believe resolutions work towards that goal even if we give up by the summer, atleast we tried. God is not a God of perfection, but of grace and love. My prayer is Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans".
A time for renewal and strength – As I sit watching the rain come down, I see how the drops wash away all the dirt and grime of many drought days. A feeling of freshness and newness has arrived. Does anything beat the smell of a rainy day? But looking at my life and my inner soul, can bring with it an evaluation of habits and flaws. Instead of getting depressed over the need for change in my own life, this time of year gives me strength to stop and change. Essentially repent for the areas I have gotten lazy in. When I turn away from sin and evil desires daily, just by focusing on today. I am strengthen, changed and encouraged to continue on. My prayer is Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a new heart, O God and renew a right spirit within me!"
A time to plan – My husband and I just spent the weekend at our church's elder retreat where we pray, stratigize, and plan for the church for the whole year. Of course, in a large mega church we just plan, dream and get excited about the new year, while the staff of the church implements most of our ideas. We also pick the church verse for the year. What I have learned is planning, dreaming and strategizing for my life and the plans for my family is healthy and encouraging. Like Benjamin Franklin says, "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail". So the beginning of the year is a clean slate, full of opportunities. This year we are diving head first into Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University and straightening out our finances. But we are also planning for vacations, mission trips, new books coming out, goals for the kids and giving. Proverbs 21:5 says, "The planning of the diligent leads to abundance" and so our prayer is asking God to direct our steps as we go.
So, goodbye sweet January with all your promise of newness. Thank you for helping me set goals and dreams. Thank you for a new year to begin again!
How did you start off 2017? What goals and plans have you made?

Rockstar have finally confirmed Red Dead Redemption 2 for release fall 2017.
After six long years, an incredibly ambiguous tweet delivered the first official clue that we may finally be treated to another open-world western adventure. In true Rockstar fashion, the single tweet was released with just an image of their logo in what looked like the iconic Red Dead art style. Predictably, it sent fans into an immediate frenzy with hundreds of thousands of interactions in less than 24 hours.
Though we've seen occasional unconfirmed leaks in recent years, this lone image officially broke Rockstar's cold silence and was followed by a much more obvious teaser depicting several Wild West characters against a red sun set, and finally by an official confirmation including the fall 2017 release date.
Just three tweets over two days has prompted a craze of excitement and numerous memes – and we expect more dastardly teasers from Rockstar in the coming days including a trailer promised for Thursday 20th October.
To deal with the unbearable two day wait, we decided to put together a wish list for the game's sequel. Or prequel. Or spin off. Whatever it is, here are seven things it should deliver;
- Heists
One of the most popular theories about the next Red Dead release pins it as a prequel that follows John Marston's early bandit days with Bill Williamson and the gang. After the gripping storyline of the 2010 release, Rockstar have a lot to live up to, so it will be interesting to see what will replace the powerful driving force of John Marston's desire to be reunited with his family.
What we'd love to see is an inclusion of the GTA V style heist mechanics, with missions that feed into a big job. This is well suited to Marston's gang-days, and would see you plan the next bank robbery, choosing your best men and having some say in how you execute the mission that will ultimately affect your share of the profits. It might just be a pipe dream, but that's what our money is on.
- Quicker animations
Okay, this is a cheap shot, but one of the very few common criticisms of the last generation's Red Dead is the lengthy and repetitive resource animations. As much as we enjoy realism in games, we'd rather quickly loot bodies than watch Marston take his time skinning the beasts every single time. Take inspiration from the latest Tomb Raider iterations for instance, where Lara quickly but brutally skins her kills and then swiftly returns to a playable state.
In a game where collecting and crafting can be so important, shorter resource animations would speed up gameplay somewhat without making it less immersive. Saying that, we'd still like Marston or any new protagonist to quietly mutter to themselves and their prey throughout the animation..
- Strong protagonist(s)
With the game entitled "Red Dead Redemption 2" despite being the third instalment in the franchise, it seems the game will be linked to its 2010 predecessor. That suggests we may see the return of fan favourite John Marston – which is something I for one am absolutely rooting for.
Morally he might have a grey past, but you can sincerely empathise with his motivations, and the ending is truly devastating. Understanding him really ads a layer to the story and makes the entire game more powerful. The only thing that can beat one well developed protagonist.. is, well, more of them.
One of GTA Vs strengths was a choice of three interesting, playable characters, each one with distinctly different personalities and unique gameplay strengths. So for Rockstar's next big release, we hope they take inspiration from both games with a lead character, or characters, as deep and diverse as Marston and the Los Santos three.
- A living, breathing Wild West
Part of Red Dead Redemption's charm was the feeling of isolation as you travelled across western landscapes. Whilst we don't want the next game to lose that quirk, we would like a more living, breathing world to play around in. If Red Dead Redemption 2 takes inspiration from both GTA V and the plethora of AAA open world games we've had in the last few years, we expect a little more depth this time round.
If you've played Fallout 4 for example you may know the feeling of traversing a barren landscape only to stumble across two Deathclaws fighting one another, or a bunch of super mutants battling a Brotherhood of Steel aircraft. Imagine John Marston sticking around in a local bar long enough to see surrounding NPCs get themselves into a brawl or a shootout – one that you can even choose, or decline, to involve yourself in.
2010's Red Dead was a huge, expansive and immersive world with plenty of random NPC encounters and towns full of side missions. It included many random events such as the honeypot stranded travellers who, should you help them, inevitably had friends ready to jump you for your kindness.
But rather than a haven from the isolation and emptiness of traveling, Red Dead's settlements could at times feel a little static and bare. The sequel/prequel is a perfect opportunity to build on the strengths of its predecessor and add a little depth.
- Branching story
John Marston's fate was sealed from the beginning, but it would be nice if the next game trusted the player with key decisions that could significantly change the ending – and which characters survived to see it.
The cinematic style of Rockstar's games may not suit dialogue choices throughout the game, but allowing the player to choose at certain points can be a powerful tool. The branching-path of many modern releases adds a non-linear layer to storytelling that only video games can really achieve.
Whether it's as simple as which factions or gangs you ally yourself to or as difficult as choosing which character lives or dies, it would be great to see this included in the new release.
- Distractions
You know you're playing an epic open world adventure when you're in danger of forgetting which mission is the main quest. How often through Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 were you presented with so many side quests that searching for your long lost daughter or son took a back seat. In the first Red Dead Redemption there were distractions, but quite honestly we'd like so many that the first 10 hours of gameplay are overwhelming.
Imagine Gwent-like developments for Liar's Dice, arm wrestling or Five Finger Fillet – and perhaps even new additions like Poker. Building tournaments around these side games makes them more engaging and fun, so adding lines of side quests that relate to any of these would have us well and truly hooked.
Treasure maps, however, can stay exactly the same as far as we're concerned because those were amazing.
- Weird DLC
I know we don't even really know what the main game is yet, but we still expect crazy, ground-breaking DLC. Undead nightmare was so unique and thoughtful that it did feel like a totally new game. They used all of the assets from the original game and added both zombies and resource limitations to completely change the atmosphere.
The GTA V DLC has focused on online elements, and while they've all added hours of multiplayer gameplay, fans have missed out on the promise of story DLC. Whatever Rockstar choose to add to their latest release, we want at least one crazy single player add on.
We'd also like the return of the stunning landscapes, incredible scores and wonderful dialogue, but that's just some of our hopes and dreams for improvements and new features in the upcoming release.
Of course, even if Rockstar ignore all of these nothing will stop us wanting to dive back into that world. All we have to do now is wait one more year..

I ride a Hyperstrada and am taking it on it tour of CO, about 50/50 roads/dirt. Would you still cut grooves on the D616? I really rather not go with TKC80s.
Great, I am leaving my 616 untouched then. Thank you so much for the advice and inspiring me to take my Duc off-road. In case you are interested, I am posting a RR on ADV. We start our trip on 8/1.
On more question, how about the gearing? Was 1st too tall for the trails/passes? Did you put in a larger rear or smaller front sprocket? I have done jeep roads around my house in Woodland Park, but nothing too rocky or challenging and it seemed fine.
