Advantages of Selling Your House to Real Estate Investors.
There are a number of different ways to sell a house but some circumstances may make some of these options unavailable. Selling your house through a real estate agent may not be practical when you need to sell the house as quickly as possible because it may take a lot of time before an offer is made. You may decide to sell to a real estate investor since it is an alternative to real estate agents or realtors. This is the way to go if you do not want to put additional work into the house.
With real estate investors, the condition about the house does not matter, you can sell the house in any condition. Consequently, if you are unable to do repairs for whatever reasons but need to sell the house, this is the most suitable method for you. It is important to remember that the better the condition of the house, the better the price it will fetch. It is therefore advisable to carry out some simple repairs and renovations if possible to raise the value of your house before selling.
Another important detail to know is that real estate investors will give you the current market value of your property and that they will buy your house in cash. Some real estate investors will ensure that they know the reasons that are motivating you to sell your house. They will then use this info. to work toward guaranteeing your satisfaction and that they meet and exceed your expectation and in the process gaining or maintaining a good reputation as well as stellar reviews. Due to this, a good buyer will ensure the process is smooth.
If pressed for time and you need to sell fast, real estate investors are the best way to go. After contacting a real estate investor it is normal to get a response and an offer within one day. real estate listings, on the other hand, can go for a long time before getting an offer. The real estate investor will visit your house after you contact them to appraise and inspect the building and an offer will often be made on the spot after they complete the inspection.
Lastly, if you are dealing with a real estate investor, you never need to pay any money to get the house sold. Real estate investors will go out of their way to ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible. In contrast to a real estate investor real estate agents require a commission for their services before the sale of your house is finalized, they also carry the burden of having to wait for the transaction to go through. If you want to enjoy peace of mind when selling your home you should choose a real estate investor now.

Cybersecurity researchers say North Korea might be linked to the WannaCry 'ransomware' cyber attack that has infected more than 300,000 computers worldwide since Friday.
IT'S getting hard to read the news without hearing about another cyber attack making its way around the global internet.
A growing trend among cyber criminals is the kind of malware attack that infiltrates your network and works quietly in the background to perform tasks such a mining a digital currency and send the profits back to the author of the virus while the host remains unaware.
This type of threat has been highlighted by the Adylkuzz attack which exploits the same Microsoft vulnerability as the WannaCry attack but instead of seizing files for ransom it installs a known cryptocurrency miner on compromised machines.
"These are not particularly unusual, we see a lot of malware that does cryptocurrency mining," Nick Savvides, a security specialist at Symantec told news.com.au. "There's a very big business in it."
Such malware can often go undetected but will likely degrade a computer's performance and speed.
"If criminals get it right it doesn't chew up too much resources, just enough that it can deliver something," and the infection can go undetected for long periods of time.
Given the rising value of many cryptocurrencies in recent months "it's possible to make quite a bit of money out of it without it being noticed," Mr Savvides said.
After security firm Proofpoint published a blog this week describing how the attack turns infected users into unwitting financial supporters of cyber criminals some reports claimed the Adylkuzz malware could end up being a bigger attack than WannaCry which infected as many as 200,000 Windows systems more the 150 countries. But Mr Savvides disagrees.
"I just don't see it. The reason I don't see it is that this has been active for some time now, the rates of infection have been pretty low, and there hasn't been an associated e-mail campaign to infect hosts," he said.
Proofpoint said it has detected a number of infected machines that have transferred several thousand dollars worth of cryptocurrency Monero to the creators of the virus dating back to as early as April 24.
Interestingly, once the malware exploits the Microsoft vulnerability, it shuts it down denying anyone else the chance to do the same. "One bad guy making sure no one else can steal his host."
These types of attacks share certain characteristics with the commonly used distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks which also take control of unwitting hosts to direct their computer's traffic at a particular network.
"In fact as a cyber criminal you could dual purpose that botnet. You could go and infect thousands of hosts and utilise them to not just mine bitcoins for you but to also launch a denial of service attack for you," Mr Savvides said.
These kind of attacks "aren't going away."
So if your computer is running a little slower than usual, how can you check if it might possibly be compromised?
According to Mr Savvides the only thing the average punter can do to ensure they're not the unwitting victim of such malware is to run a security tool like Norton Power Eraser which is a free virus and malware removal tool that people can run to clean their device.
"I think that's really the only way for a layman to determine this," he said.
How safe is your data? Secret internet backdoors are being exploited and sold by hackers for astronomical amounts. It has sparked a digital war between good and bad hackers – all focused on your digital security. How safe do you feel?

Fine oil on canvas painting of a quiet street and buildings on a gray day in winter, possibly Montmartre, signed at lower right by the highly regarded French School of Montmartre painter ALPHONSE-LEON QUIZET (1885-1955). Quizet though not a household name today, was a significant figure in the group of artists painting the bohemian, and in some parts, country-like Montmartre neighborhood on the outskirts of Paris in the first half of the century. Quizet was born in Paris and was headed for a career in architecture until he discovered his painting talents. He became a familiar figure in the artist colony district, becoming in 1903 a friend and ultimately teacher of Maurice Utrillo, the works of whom bring enormous sums today. The two would paint together and shared a very similar style sometimes bordering on the naive. Quizet also counted among his friends the painters Marcel Leprin and Louis Valtat. Some have called Quizet's work sentimental, others call it poetic. The artist skirted the Cubism and other modern movements, sticking to his distinctive style while capturing not only Montmartre but other familiar sights and neighborhoods of Paris. During his lifetime Quizet exhibited in many salons. A prolific painter, I see almost 1,000 auction records. In the late 1980's and early 1990's when this school of painting was bringing very high prices, works by Quizet routinely brought into the five figures, one actually achieving $72,000. The market for his work has since cooled considerably but Quizet's appealing works continue to find buyers at auctions in Europe and America. This painting, 13" by 21 1/2" on the stretchers, 23" by 31" in its very high quality hand-made frame by Los Angeles frame maker Richard Tobey, has recently been repaired and cleaned by a professional restorer. Several tears that were present in the sky and at lower right center are now barely visible, after a quality BEVA reline and skilled inpainting. The painting and frame (which also received some attention from the restorer, there having been a few small losses) are just beautiful together, the scene very easy to live with. Note the several figures (two at far left, one at right) that add a human touch to this strangely lonely street.

Well, it's been just about exactly 3 months since I decided to try to climb out from under my pile of unfinished things. Let's see how I'm doing so far:
1 Life-long Blanket: Progress! Yay! Read about it here. I need about 25 more squares and maybe 6 or 8 triangles to reach my next goal of squaring it all off. Hit me up if you wanna swap some minis.
2 Secret Project #1: DONE! BOOM! Yay me. Details to come.
(3 was done between starting the list and writing the post, so I don't get any additional credit, but I'd like to just take a minute and enjoy that "I finished a thing!" feeling.)
4 Francis Revisited Revised: Have not touched. Will soon. Maybe.
5 Conference Call Socks: The too small/just right/too small/do I knit these again? pair. Still undecided but not feeling too excited about getting back to them.
6 Secret Project # 2: No progress. I have another thing I have to do first before I can work on this, so who knows if/when this will make an appearance.
(7 Mittens maybe? Maybe not? Sitting in a giant tangle somewhere.)
8 Scrappy Scarf: No progress, but looking at it again when I was organizing all my current projects to store in my NEW OTTOMAN YOU GUYS I GOT A NEW COUCH IT'S SO GREAT AND LURVE IT!!!! I looked at this again and realized I really really really love it, so it might still come to be someday.
9 Ugly Knee Socks: Think I'm gonna rip these and use the yarn for blanket/scarf/trading purposes.
10 Secret Project #3: Got over the hurdle that's had this on hold for like a year. Still haven't reached the finish line, but I can see it now.
11 Muriwai the Third: Gotten a few more rounds done, but nothing worth photographing.
12 Worsted Weight Scrap Blanket: No progress. I haven't been knitting any worsted weight projects, hence no new worsted weight scraps.
13 & 14 Mismatched 2-at-a-time Socks: I see 2 options for these. Give up and call them a pair finally, or knit the 2nd ones toe-up so there's something different about them and maybe that will be excitement enough to make me want to do it?
15 Kiemurakukkaset: No progress. But it's getting cold, so I should get on that. And make a matching hat.
16 Nether Garments: No progress, but again, it's getting cold, so…
17 Stripey Sweater: I need to finish breaking up all that Noro into its component stripes, and I just haven't felt like it yet. If anybody wants to come over and cut up yarn for an evening, lemme know.
18 Former Sweater, Future Pillow: PROGRESS! Got about half the back done. Yay! I'm using this as counter-knitting when my hands get tired of socks.
19 Gray & Yellow Shawl: Progress! Partway through the first (of I'm thinking 4) section.
20 Myrtle: Nothing. No swatch. Not even thinking about it.
21 Gray & Teal Scarf: Was only in the planning stages. I've swatched a bit and can't get my idea clear between my brain and my hands. This one might just get crossed off.
22 Problem Socks: I have them all in the same place, but that's as far as I've gotten.
23 Mending: DONE!
24 & 25 Mystery Projects 4 & 5: One started, measured, ripped, and restarted. One thought about but that's about it.
26 Then-current Year of Socks Socks: Very close to done but then I had a lot of school reading and a short sock that would necessitate paying attention to the cast on, heel, decreases, and toe all in such close succession just didn't work. I set them aside for the next pair and am almost done with them. Really I need one good evening off from homework and they'd both be done.
27 Wild Card: It's in the ottoman. But leaving that space open for knitting something else and then you're online one night with a friend who's sending you all these shawl kit links and you're kind of like wouldn't it be great to do a knit-along together on the same shawl and then next thing you know you're poking around Jimmy Beans's Madelintosh stock, and, well,
The blue & brown are already on their way to being Loop for the knit-along. The speckles & pink are probably gonna be Double Dutch. Also Jimmy Beans winds up to 3 skeins of yarn for free and whatever part of my brain is like "yes, I will buy $45 more in yarn to avoid a $4 shipping charge" somehow couldn't get me that extra $3 to wind the fourth one. I don't even know, you guys.
Anyway, Loop and I are very happy together so far, but I'll get back to the list soon.
No, for real.
I promise.

Rule of thumb for all new artists: Let your music speak for itself and skip out on these behind the scenes videos until you're already established. This is the first time we are being introduced to 'Forgiato Blow', whose real name is Kurt Jantz. The 32-year-old native Floridian wants to be the biggest rapper in America. We try to be unbiased when listening to new artists but we sincerely doubt this interview is gonna help win him any new fans.
Listen below as he compares himself to Donald Trump and breaks down the history of his family wealth. His grandfather, Stuart Arnold, is the founder of the Auto Trader publishing empire, which famously spawned into publishing used car classifieds.

Spurrier unhappy with USC decisions
COLUMBIA -- South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier apologized to two recruits and then ripped USC's admission process Sunday, telling a crowd at the Gamecocks' media day festivities it needed to change or he wouldn't be around much longer.
"I'm embarassed that I and my coaches basically misled these young men into believing they were coming here," Spurrier said. "I'm not mad at the president and the provost.
"In my opinion, our school made a mistake in doing this."
What had the head ball coach spitting fire was the admission process of two freshmen recruits. Michael Bowman, a receiver from Wadesboro, N.C., and Arkee Smith, a defensive back from Jacksonville, Fla., were each denied admission to USC although each qualified under NCAA Clearinghouse criteria.
Two other signees, Antonio Allen and Eric Baker, did not have the necessary grades and are trying to find prep schools or junior colleges where they can enroll, build up their grades and perhaps come to USC in the future. But Smith and Bowman each passed the NCAA's minimum qualifying standards, only to be told by USC they couldn't get in.
Spurrier didn't blame USC President Andrew Sorensen and said he had already spoken with Sorensen about changing the admission guidelines. After receiving assurance that the process would be amended, Spurrier said it was a relief -- although it might be too late to mend the burned bridges in the Smith and Bowman cases.
"There's a perception out there that if South Carolina oversigns, they just get rid of the guy," Spurrier said. "That's not true.
"As long as I'm the coach here, we're going to take guys that qualify. If not, then I'm going to have to go somewhere else."
School spokesman Russ McKinney confirmed Sorensen and Spurrier have spoken, as recently as last week. McKinney also said Sorensen, Spurrier, athletics director Eric Hyman and others have weighed in on the process of student-athlete admission.
"What Dr. Sorensen is trying to see is if we can refine the process concerning student-athletes who need to go before the special admission process so that all of our coaches get kind of timely guidance and information kind of early in the process," McKinney said. "So that everything doesn't come out the week before school starts."
Spurrier reiterated he plans to be the Gamecocks' coach for a long time, because he believes USC can be a big-time football program. But the admission process must change, to reflect the honest rapport he's trying to build with his future players.
Smith was told this week he wouldn't be accepted after more than five months of believing he'd be in uniform. Bowman was told in July and has already made plans to attend East Carolina, where he'll play for former USC assistant coach Skip Holtz.
Spurrier got some help from USC when another bubble recruit, linebacker Melvin Ingram, was admitted earlier this week. The loss of Bowman and especially Smith, though, could hinder future recruiting.
Spurrier said he was dealing with the process of trying to repair the wounds in Anson County, N.C., where Bowman is from, and in Jacksonville, regarded as a hotbed of football talent. Spurrier signed Smith's First Coast High School teammate, defensive back Jamire Williams, for this season and already has a verbal commitment for next year from another First Coast player, linebacker Shaq Wilson.
Spurrier can't comment on unsigned recruits per NCAA rules, so he couldn't be asked if perhaps Wilson's commitment would change. But the message he presented was clear, before he said it was the end of the subject and he wouldn't address it again -- he feels Smith and Bowman were wronged, and if he were going to continue coaching the Gamecocks, the admission process must and will be changed.
"They've already told me they're going to change how we do admission here," Spurrier said, referring to Sorensen and the administration. "But I think we need to get it out to the high school coaches and the players out there that this is not going to happen again."

How to Protect Your Credit Card (Or Score) During the Holidays
Credit card fraud is a problem that occurs all year long. However, during the holidays, there is a significant increase in this crime occurring. Falling victim can damage your credit in a flash and your credit score can take a hit in the process. There are certain steps you can take to protect both your credit card and credit score during the holidays.
Always Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Because you will be out shopping frequently around the holiday season, it is absolutely essential to always be aware of your surroundings. When you are walking around the mall or even outside on your way to a store, be alert and keep your eyes open for anyone or anything that might appear suspicious. People can innocently bump into you, but be careful. Pickpockets happen in the most seemingly innocent ways. If you are a woman, hold tightly to your purse and keep it in clear view in front of you at all times. Put your wallet at the bottom of your purse or in a secure pocket within. Men should keep their wallets in an inner coat pocket.
Guard Your Pin Number
If you are making trips to the ATM or are paying for your purchases with your debit card at stores over the holidays, always guard your pin number. People can easily snoop by hovering directly behind you or to the side and can get a quick glimpse when you enter your pin. If you do notice someone standing a little too close to you for your comfort, ask them to step back. You should also quickly glance over the machine to make sure nothing seems unusual, as thieves today install devices that can steal your pin number.
Use Your Smartphone to Pay
One of the best ways to make purchases and keep your credit card safe during the holidays is to instead use your smartphone. For example, Apple Pay on the iPhone is a lot more secure because it doesn't actually use your credit card number. Instead, it relies on a transaction specific dynamic security code that is unique each time you make purchases. Of course, you should ensure that your smartphone is secure with a passcode intact and your fingerprint scanner active as well.
Avoid Opening New Credit Card Accounts
You may feel pressured over the holidays to open a new credit card account, even if it's one for a specific store. Don't do that, because it can actually negative affect your credit score. This is especially the case if you only have one card. Your credit will take a definite dip, which is not worth it during the holidays when you're so busy shopping for friends and family.
Sign Up for Credit Monitoring
Signing up for a credit monitoring service will help keep your credit safe during the holidays. That way, you will be protected and will be alerted in the event that someone tries to fraudulently open an account in your name. The services offered are also reported to the three major credit reporting bureaus of Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.

The ADI can only sign and comment on lessons that he/she has instructed. Under any circumstances that you opt to change an ADI, he/she cannot sign on lessons that you previously took under the aid of another ADI. This ensures that all ADI's take responsibility in the lessons they teach and that they can be held accountable in case of any incident.
In an incident where your RSA logbook gets lost, you should report to the Gardai, before obtaining a duplicate log book from your ADI. The waiting period of obtaining the duplicate logbook can be long, thus one is required to ensure his/her logbook is safely kept as it also plays a major role when you are acquiring your driver's license.

Residents tell Wichita officials: Make changes, but don't cut vital bus service
Wichita residents called for sensible solutions Monday night for closing a $540,000 budget shortfall facing Wichita Transit: Bring on a sales tax increase, eliminate the buses' Wi-Fi service, change to a grid busing system, and cut funding to other city-funded projects.
Just don't take away the vital services that get us to our jobs.
That was the overwhelming response from bus riders and non-riders alike to recent recommendations by the Wichita City Council to further cut the city's public transportation, which includes eliminating two bus routes and reducing peak-hour service on most others.
"You are the employees, and the boss is a little upset," Wichitan Curt Cotton, 45, said during a passionate speech Monday night at City Hall, where city officials, including council members and Mayor Carl Brewer, heard public feedback on the proposed changes. Cotton said he's been riding the bus daily for six years – currently on the West Maple-to-Meridian loop so he can get to his job at Aircraft Quality Instruments.
"Jobs are being put into jeopardy because of what's being suggested here today," Cotton said.
Others, such as Emily Schlenker, were also concerned about the fate of ill and disabled people who depend on the bus service.
"I feel like it's already a sparse service," said Schlenker, who is the secretary of the South Central Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind. She is vision-impaired. "And it's going to get sparser."
The fate of the Westside Connector was of special concern to Tom Phillips, a longtime Wichita resident. He takes the bus daily to his job at Mid-Continent Airport. Walking or riding a bike to work isn't an option for the 53-year-old, who had a heart attack in February.
"I'm not sure my heart is up to six miles of walking or bike riding to and from the airport," Phillips said. "Not to even mention, what am I going to do in extreme weather conditions?"
The City Council is considering eliminating the route, which serves northwest Wichita and Mid-Continent Airport. Monday, Wichita director of transit Michael Vinson cited low numbers of riders on the Westside Connector – an average of 52 a day compared with 430 on other routes – as the primary reason for cutting the service.
A second route called the "Goodwill Bus," a twice-daily trip to Goodwill Industries on Oliver and 37th North, will be eliminated if the council supports the proposal.
The city is looking for alternatives to serve the Goodwill riders, but Vinson offered no concrete alternatives at Monday, saying only: "We will take care of those Goodwill riders so they can get to and from the facility."
Under consideration is the elimination of twice-hourly stops during peak service times along all but the city's two longest routes – South Main and East Harry. Those two must maintain 30-minute intervals to meet shorter routes at the Transit Center on time.
Peak hours are 5:45 to 8:45 a.m. and 3:45 to 6:45 p.m. – usually when people are headed to and from work.
The suggestions are backed by the Wichita Transit System advisory board, Vinson said Monday night. The City Council is expected to take formal action on the proposals on May 15. The changes would take effect June 9, if approved by the council, he said.
"They have to do something very quickly if we're going to save enough money to meet our budget this year," Vinson said, addressing the media outside of the council's chambers, where the forum was held. " … Without the implementation of these proposals we would not be able to make budget."
Some residents, including 57-year-old Vicky Keys, left City Hall without being heard after city officials cut the forum short an hour into public comments because of a tornado watch. Keys, who lives in downtown Wichita near the Lord's Diner, said the council's best bet to avoid the cuts is implementing a grid system.
"You put a bus a half-mile going north and south and east and west, the furthest the person has to go is a half-mile, quarter-mile to get to a bus," she said. "… You'd hit all of the communities in the city, not just the major shopping areas."
Wichita Transit is accepting public comments in writing or by phone through mid-May. Mail concerns to: Wichita Transit, 777 E. Waterman, Wichita, KS 67202. Residents may also voice opinions at 316-265-7221 or e-mail comments to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Welcome back to the MTG Underground.
Today we bring you a guest post from Magnus De Laval, the face and voice of Oldschool MTG. Though it has been too long since I brought you words from my fingers, a crime I will remedy soon, it is a pleasure to bring you something equally brilliant, if not superior on every level. I promise you will not be disappointed.
If you wandered in too early, you may have seen an alternate cut of this piece. I spent a little too much time with this piece in my possession before posting it, and became a little too enamored. As such, I began dressing it up in my clothes and shifting its pieces around, unintentionally sculpting it into my likeness. And while my face may be a beautiful sight for your heathen eyes, it should not deny you the true form of this masterpiece.
So I have set things right.
I give you the Last Bike from Gothenburg in its raw, unadulterated glory:

Human Fallibility in the Nuclear Industry
Posted on August 10, 2012 in Recent Developments
Three civilians armed with nothing more than bolt cutters and hammers were able to penetrate the defenses of the the Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Some time later, they were noticed by a lone guard, but only after they had managed to spray-paint a number of slogans on the facility's walls. The ease of entry that this thankfully pacifist trio enjoyed should remind us of the perils of relying on a technology that presumes an impossibly high level of vigilance in protecting the public from potentially catastrophic hazards.

Well this is the season always make me think of hot spicy curry. Is winter now in down side of the earth. It still occurred to me having winter in the mid year make us all here so special . While other side of the earth is having beautiful spring, summer cozy warm environment, ours is cold , dry and slow is just so different .
The curry thought bring up this idea of making some special Malaysia snack and it has been awhile I have an authentic curry puff in Australia. Instead of waiting to find a right stall why not make some for myself and friends =) Yup we have another steamboat night to celebrate Rice Dumpling festival and everyone take home a curry puff as snack/breakfast for the next day .
I also submitting this post to Little Thumbs Up event hosted by Miss B of Everybody Eats Well in Flanders at this link, organized by Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids and Doreen of my little favourite D.I.Y.
So here is the recipe I used for making this delicious Chicken Curry Puffs -> Nasilemaklover
Curry chicken fillings
750g chicken mince
3oog potatoes ( 3 large potatoes) - cut into small cubes
4Tbsp of Baba curry powder
8 pc of curry leaves
3Tbsp of Baba chili powder ( it can reduce if you prefer less spicy)
2 small onion- cut in small wedges size
3 tbsp cooking oil
Seasoning :
1tbsp soya sauce
1/2 tbsp salt
Method :
1. In a wok put in oil , when the oil turn hot put in the onion and curry leave sauté it till fragrant
2. Put the potatoes in a microwave container sprinkle some salt , pour enough water to cover it and boil in microwave for about 15min. This step help to prevent potatoes undercook during the stir fried process.
3.Once the onion and curry leave has been sauted till fragrant add in the chicken mince and stir fried till well. Put in the chili powder , constantly mixed well with the chicken
4. Pour in the cooked potatoes to the curry chicken mixture continue to combine the potatoes with into the curry chicken .
5. Put in the chili powder, soya sauce and salt. Taste to seasoning to your liking.
6. Once the chicken mince is cooked , off the fire and leave it aside to cool.
If the curry is too dry you can add some water in the wok when putting the potatoes .
Make 3 hard boil eggs , slice each egg into 8 pieces
( I make about 24 pc by double the ingredients)
Ingredients :
Water Dough
400gall purpose flour ( I used plain flour)
180 -200gwater
6tbsp Cooking Oil
1tsp salt
50g caster sugar ( I used brown sugar)
Oil Dough
180g all purpose flour
90g shortening.
Method :
Water Dough ( I used stand mixer , it take about 10-15min to have all this mix well)
1. Mix all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl
2. Slowly pour in water and lightly knead till a soft dough
3. Cover and set aside to rest for 20 min
Oil Dough
1. Put flour in a mixing bowl
2. Rub in shortening and slowly combine to a soft dough. ( you might want to slice the shortening to fine piece for easy mixing)
3. Cover and set aside to rest for 15mins
Making Spiral curry puff skin
1.Flatten the water dough and wrap the oil dough inside. Pinch and seal the edge nicely.
2. Dust some flour on your work surface, gently roll the dough into a rectangle.
3. Fold the rectangle from one long end by 1/3 and fold the other long end over the top.
4.Rotate the dough 90 degree, gently roll the dough into rectangle again and repeat the folding process twice more
5.Once the dough has been rolled and folded 3 times, slowly roll up tightly into a swissroll and rest for 20min.
6. Use a knife, divide the dough according to the size you are making . For my curry puff mould it make about 24 pc for this measurement.
A picture speak thousand word do go to the link and see how this process is done.
I learnt something from this rolling process, the dough has to be rough quite tightly into a swissroll shape, if is not firmly roll up , when you roll it out to a small disc the spiral style in the middle might break off easily .
To fill and shape puff
1.Take a small dough (spiral side face up) , used a small rolling pin to roll to a circle disc.
2. Place the dough into the curry puff mould ( yes I cheat I tried to do it with my hand it just does not work)
3.Put 1 tbsp of curry chicken filling in and place a slice of hard boil egg.
4.Fold in the mould and here you have a beautiful curry puff. Make sure the edge is tightly seal. If not once it place in a hot oil, it will open up.
Once the curry puffs has been made , heat up the oil . The oil has to be really hot and place curry puff into it . Deep fried till golden color.
Need me to say more, it was so crispy and yummy. All my friends love it. The response is so good I make another batch of 80 pc and sold to those who love what I have make. Result is well responsed and is so encouraging for my 1st food business venture out .
I look forward to share more of the food I love and if GOD is please the door will be open wide :)
Appreciate all the support from my friends , it was such an encouraging experience.

Since my last Autumn makeup look was a smoky eye, I thought it was only fair for me to create a more daytime appropriate look.
I decided for the eyes, I was going to go down the whole warm bronze route. To do this, I used the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'On and On Bronze' and applied it to the lid only. I built it up quite a bit, using about 3 light layers. I then blended the edges out with the Real Techniques Base Shadow brush. Using the same brush, I applied the MaxFactor single eyeshadow in 'Golden Bronze' on top of the colour tattoo. I built this up quite a bit, but you can apply as much or as little as you want. You can tailor the intensity of the look to your own preference.
To define the eyes a little bit more, using a fluffy brush, I applied a touch of my bronzer into my crease. This helps to warm up the look and blend everything together. I then went in with a clean blending brush, and softened any harsh lines. To balance out the look, I used a bronze eyeliner on the lower lashline and really blended it into the lashes. I also applied the same liner to the outer part of my upper lashline and blended it into the lashes again.
I really wanted to add a bit of colour to the look so I used the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'Metallic Pomegranate' on an angled brush and lined very close to my lashes on the upper lashline. The camera isn't picking this up very well, but in real life, you can just see a bit of purple popping through. I love the way this looks and if you have brown or green eyes, it going to really bring out the colour. To finish off the eyes, apply plenty of mascara.
I did highlight the brow bone using a matte cream eyeshadow and for the inner corner I used The Balm's Mary Loumanzier.
For the face, use whatever you would normally wear. I didn't do anything fancy, I just stuck to my everyday makeup routine.
In case you're interested, here's what I wore:
Base- Laura Mercier Silk Cream Foundation and Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
Blush- Sleek 'Pink Parfait'
Bronzer- Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer (original)
Contour- Natural Collection 'Crushed Walnut'
Highlight- The Balm's Mary Loumanizer
Bronzer- Bourjois Chocolate Bronzer (original)
Contour- Natural Collection 'Crushed Walnut'
Highlight- The Balm's Mary Loumanizer
I've got two lip options for this look, both using the Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 107. For the first option, I dabbed the lipstick onto the lips, blended it with my finger and blotted. Repeat the step to create a beautiful berry stain. The second lip option is to top it with a gloss. I used the Laura Mercier Lipgloss in 'Bare Pink' to tone it down. Both of these lip options bring out the purple eyeliner and tie the makeup together.
|Lip Option 1
|Lip Option 2
I hope you enjoyed my more wearable daytime Autumn makeup look. Don't forget to check out my Autumn Smoky Eye look here.
Thanks for reading,

Assuming this leaked set of photos are the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2, then Lamborghini's finally given enthusiasts what they've wanted, dropping their grip-locked all-wheel-drive system in favor of rear-wheel-drive action. With a six-speed manual, could this be the perfect Lambo?
The reason for the lessened number designation relates to a slightly de-tuned 5.2-liter V10 that makes 550 horsepower rather than the 552 in the 560-4, but that lack of two ponies doesn't make this Italian a slacker with a dash to 100 km/h arriving in 3.9 seconds. This is helped by a 30 kg overall weight reduction.
Limited to 250 units worldwide, the LP550-2 features a 10% price reduction over its all-wheel-drive brethren, comes in any one of eight exterior colors and comes with a special white livery. Official specs and data is slowly leaking out of Sant'Agata and we'll bring you all the latest as it becomes available. [via Net Car Show]

Charles Schwab Corp. said Monday that it has agreed to acquire Chicago-based optionsXpress Holdings for Schwab stock valued at $1 billion.
In a statement about the deal, Schwab CEO Walt Bettinger characterized the acquisition as particularly benefiting Schwab's "active investor clients" and other high-net-worth Schwab clients, noting that options investors at Schwab "tend to be among the larger, more active and longer-standing of our client relationships."
With the acquisition, Schwab said it will offer a "best in class trading platform" for its retail clients.
In an interview Thursday, Bernie Clark, who heads Schwab's RIA custody unit, Schwab Advisor Services (SAS), said that while the acquisition had not yet closed, when it does it will benefit its affiliated advisors as well as Schwab's retail clients. Schwab said in its Monday announcement that the closing is expected to take place by the third quarter of 2011.
"We're not going to talk in detail," Clark (left) said, referring to the fact that the deal hasn't closed yet, but suggested that advisors "look at what optionsXpress does, look at their expertise" in equity options trading and research, and education. "It will all be available" to advisors, Clark said, and anticipated that "eventually we'll have integration."
OptionsXpress has $7.8 billion in client assets and 379,000 accounts through which its customers trade equity options, futures and foreign exchange on one of three platforms: Web-based, desktop and mobile.
With the acquisition, Clark said Schwab has "checked an important box," and suggested it would be "very additive, like Windhaven."
Clark was referring to Schwab's acquisition for $150 million in August 2010 of Windward Investment Management—now renamed Windhaven Investment Management—an advisory firm that at the time managed nearly $4 billion in three separately managed account portfolios comprising mostly ETFs.
On Wednesday, Schwab made good on its promise to make three of those 'Windhaven Portfolios' SMA portfolios available to Schwab clients. At the time of the acqusition, Schwab had said that it would waive transaction commission costs for Windward managed accounts custodied on the SAS platform.
Last fall, Clark sat down for an extensive interview in San Francisco that formed the basis of Investment Advisor's November 2010 cover story.

Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery Mythology Czech Pilsener at 5.3% ABV | 24 IBU (C$2.39 at NLC Stavanger, 355 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 1-Nov-2016, reviewed 1-Nov-2016)
Appearance: clear pale gold with one finger of rocky white head settling rapidly to a thick moderately persistent cap, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grassy hay, crackery malt, honey, light floral. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter, light spice. (7/10) Light crisp body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mildly bitter and lightly spicy finish. (3/5)
A solid Czech-Style Pilsener, with clean aromas, crisp body, and a lightly spicy noble hop finish, but that's as far as it goes. Decent enough, I suppose, especially for sessioning, but surprisingly (and somewhat disappointingly) normal for Flying Monkeys. (13/20)

I've been keeping a secret from you the last several weeks. And, no. Nobody that I know is pregnant.
I applied for and was accepted to be the author of a new blog in the b5media network. For those of you that don't know, it is a collection of blogs covering a wide variety of topics. My new blog will be in the Family & Relationships section.
The new blog is called Career And Kids. Over there, I'll be talking about being a full time working parent focusing on both the time at work and the time at home and how to balance between the two.
What does that mean for this blog? Nothing much will change. This blog will still be mainly about my family and how I try to be a good dad. This blog will be much more personal, I'd imagine.
The Career And Kids blog will probably focus on things happening in the world that influence how parents are perceived in the workplace and how full time workers handle being at home. It will have personal elements about me and aspects of my career, but probably much less personal information about my kids.
I'm sure both blogs will evolve over the next few weeks until they settle into a happy equilibrium. If you are looking for other parenting resources, check out the sidebar of Career and Kids. There is a subsection of the b5media blogs called Family & Relationships with several of those blogs focusing on various parts of raising families. Stop by and check them out.

Easy Shrimp Scampi Recipe/
This recipe for Easy Shrimp Scampi is one of my go-to weeknight meals. It's filling but still feels light and healthy, and...it's delicious. Lemon, butter, garlic, parsley all meld together to coat the shrimp and pasta so that each bite is full of flavor. It only takes about 20 minutes to come together, meaning you can have a delicious homemade dinner on the table fast right after you walk in the door.
One of my favorite things about this recipe is it's a Millennial Staple Meal. That means you can keep every single one of these ingredients in your freezer, pantry, or fridge and they won't go bad before you use them. I always have a bag of frozen shrimp stocked away in my freezer. One thing that makes this so convenient is even if you forget to defrost the shrimp ahead of time, it takes all of 5 minutes under cold running water in a strainer to defrost them. I've always got a box of pasta and a head of garlic in my pantry - those are absolute staples for so many meals. Lemons and butter are staples in my fridge. Lastly, I always have a tube of parsley paste on hand. Parsley paste may sound weird, but it's the easiest way to add flavor to your dishes without having to buy a huge bunch of fresh herbs that will go bad before you can use them all. Find out more about why pastes are the secret to cooking with herbs and spices. I made this recipe probably twice a week in college. Partially because it's so delicious but also partially because it was just so easy to pull together.
Another perk of this recipe is you can't really mess it up - as long as your shrimp are cooked, you're good. The entire ratio of the recipe is flexible and to taste. I start with the butter and garlic to cook the shrimp in, then add lemon juice and parsley. If anything is too strong or too weak, it's safe to add more salt, pepper, and parsley, and then a drizzle of olive oil until the flavors are just right. 20 minutes, all the ingredients you need in your place, and a recipe you can't mess up...this recipe for Easy Shrimp Scampi needs to be added to your weekly dinner rotation!

It's hard to believe there was ever a time in my life when I didn't like spinach- it corresponded roughly with the years I didn't like brussels sprouts.
I must have been out of my mind (or your typical kid, though my daughter loves both!), because both are delicious.
These days spinach is one of my favorite greens to use in a salad- and for good reason. It's light enough to work as a lovely salad green and hearty enough to stand up to heavier additions- like pasta for example.
Now, I love regular pasta salad. In fact, it's one of the few ways I really eat pasta.
I can put away some pasta salad!
Which is why I rarely have it in the house unless there is company over to help finish it off, because I seriously can't be trusted with leftover pasta salad in the fridge.
This salad is wonderful because you get the crunch, flavor, and nutrients of spinach and pasta is almost used as a garnish. The textures work very well together, I get my tasty carb fix, and their is significantly less guilt involved if I nibble on the leftovers a little!
Nestled in with the spinach and pasta are olives, crumbled feta, red onion...there is nothing not to be liked about these ingredients!
It went over very well when we had company over, and I was definitely asked for the recipe. This would be a wonderful dish to take to a potluck too!
1 (12 oz) package farfalle pasta
10 oz baby spinach, rinsed
2 oz crumbled feta cheese
1 red onion, chopped
1 (15 oz) can black olives, drained and chopped
1 C Italian-style salad dressing
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, rinse under cold water and drain.
2. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, spinach, cheese, red onion and olives.
3. Whisk together the salad dressing, garlic, lemon juice, garlic salt and pepper. Pour over salad and toss. Refrigerate for 2 hours and serve chilled.

Competition: Major League Soccer – New York Red Bulls vs. Chicago Fire
Venue: Red Bull Arena – Wednesday, May 18 – 19:30 ET (00:30 BST)
Match Odds: NY Red Bulls 8/15 – Draw 16/5 – Chicago 5/1
Match Preview
New York Red Bulls welcome Chicago Fire to Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night in the first of two fixtures for both Eastern Conference sides this week.
The Red Bulls need to start climbing the table. They are eighth in the East heading into this game but are only six points off the top of the conference at this stage.
They must make the most of this double gameweek, with a tricky game away at fierce rivals New York City coming up on Saturday following Wednesday's clash with the Fire.
Jesse Marsch watched his side fall 2-0 at DC last time out, ending a three-game unbeaten run and he will not accept anything less than three points from his players here in what looks like a winnable fixture.
The Fire, however, will be out to seal three points for themselves. They are in poor form, having lost back-to-back games away from home coming into this and are now winless in five.
Head coach Veljko Paunovic knows his side need to start scoring more regularly if they are to have any chance of climbing off the foot of the East. They have netted just five in their last eight games since scoring three in the opening day defeat to NYCFC.Embed from Getty Images
A 2-0 loss at New England last week saw Chicago fail to keep a clean sheet for the fourth consecutive game and keeping out the Red Bulls at home seems an unlikely feat.
This will be the first of two meetings between the sides this season. They met three times late last season, with the Red Bulls winning both of the most recent meetings after Chicago won at Toyota Park in August.
Team News
The Red Bulls will be without Damien Perrinelle once again, although he is the only certain absentee as backup goalkeeper Ryan Meara is close to returning from a long-term injury. Gonzalo Veron is back to full fitness and could start here.
Chicago Fire will be without John Goossens for the trip to Red Bull Arena, while Collin Fernandez is also unlikely to feature as he is struggling with an ankle strain. Gilberto will be back in contention to start up top, with Kennedy Igboananike likely to start on the wing.
Key Points
New York Red Bulls' last five: L/W/W/D/L
Chicago Fire's last five: D/L/D/L/L
Key Stat: Goals, goals, goals – There have been 36 goals in the last eight meeting between these two sides – an average of 4.5 per game.
Key Player: Sacha Kljestan – The Red Bulls midfielder has probably been the team's best player so far this term. He so often proves influential when it matters most and will look to break down a Chicago defence struggling to keep sides out at the moment.Embed from Getty Images
Score Prediction
New York Red Bulls 3-1 Chicago Fire – This should be another high-scoring game between two sides that are desperate for three points as they look to climb the Eastern Conference. The Red Bulls are a strong outfit at home and will prove tough to beat here, while Chicago have yet to win away this season. A home victory looks likely, though both will expect to find the net.

Delicious Green Beans
I was a picky eater as a kid. My parents insisted that I eat everything on my plate including my vegetables. I ate them but I didn't like them. They did give me a "pass" on eating asparagus. Apparently, my gag reflex was too much for them.
Every year I continue to "try" several of the vegetables that were on my "gross list" as a kid. Most of the vegetables I hated when I was a kid, I now enjoy. I still don't like asparagus or brussell sprouts. And I hate green beans. I loathe them. Even in that casserole where the green beans are covered in cream of mushroom soup and fried onions that my sister-in-law makes every Thanksgiving. Utah Dad loves it.
Last night as we threw together a quick dinner with veggies from our garden, I suggested that we run over to the ward garden and pick some green beans. (I must brag for a second and it's OK since it's not something I did, although we did go weed the garden one night for FHE. Our ward garden is absolutely beautiful. The folks in charge have done an incredible job.) Neal and I grabbed a bowl and drove over to the garden. The beans were just ready and waiting to be picked. We picked enough for our dinner. (There are still tons on the bushes -- go get some!)
I brought them home and Utah Dad threw them in the wok with sesame oil, a red onion and a minced garlic clove from our garden. He sauteed them until the onion was caramelized perfection. I should have taken a picture but I didn't get a chance because we devoured them.
It was the only time in my life that I have enjoyed green beans and they really were amazing. Did you hear that? Green beans were amazingly delicious.

My stepson hates green beans and so does his dad. After one terrible stalemate I finally gave up. Dad if you expect him to eat those green beans you better match him bean for bean. Now they both understand each other better and I get more green beans for me.
I hate store green beans by the way. And variety you plant matters too. There is nothing like green beans canned by my mother. I will even pick for a couple of hours if it means I can take a bottle or too. We usually just serve them warm with butter. But my favorite comfort food is beans and "gravy." It is really just white sauce (4c milk 4tb flour). Add the beans and serve over un-buttered toast. It is delicious!

Your roof protects you and your home from the elements and other issues. Most people are surprised to hear that their illnesses are perpetuated by mold and that water damage in their home caused this mold. Roofing helps to protect your home's structure, and it helps to protect you and your family from being sick, Roof damage can also decrease your homes property value. It makes sense that you need a professional roofing contractor to help you with roofing. Don't put it off out of fear of your roof repair cost. Roof repair doesn't have to be expensive at all.
Don't Put Off Your Roof
A new roof becomes inevitable. Depending upon the type of roof you have, you will need a new roof after a certain amount of years. That's assuming you have had regular maintenance done on it. If you haven't, roof replacement will need to be done sooner. Also, get a roof inspection because it is, often, difficult to determine where roof damage is.
Debris on Your Roof
One of the most common issues for a roof is debris. Leaves fall in the autumn, and other debris can get stuck up on a roof at any time. This causes a slippery surface, but it can also lead to damage that encourages your roof to leak. You may notice water stains on your ceiling or other evidence of it.
Pests Infecting Your Roof
Interesting enough, pests can damage your roof. Roof leaks can be caused by pests. Whether it's a squirrel or bees, pests can try to make their home in your home and cause major issues for your roof.
Punctures In Your Roof
Roof leaks can occur from punctures. Many attempts by do-it-yourselfers end up in punctures to the roof. Punctures can happen by other means as well. At times, removing a satellite dish or something else affixed to the roof or side of the roof can cause a puncture.
The Elements
Roof damage happens for many other reasons. For instance, roof damage can occur from the elements. Wind can rip off or lift your shingles. Hail can mess up the granules on your shingles, or wind can cause a tree limb to come crashing down through your roof.
Flashing On Your Roof
Flashing can come loose, or it might not have been installed correctly. Flashing's main purpose is to create a water-tight seal on the roof. If flashing isn't doing its job, water is getting into your home, and you can have water damage or mold damage on your hands. Only a roof inspection done by a professional roof contractor will help discover these issues.
Roofer Near Me
If you are in search of a "roofer near me," head to ReNew Home Designs. They are licensed and insured roofing contractor in the State of Maryland. They are a GAF Master Elite roofing contractor who can help you with roof replacement, roof repair and financing. They have in-house roof financing available, but it's important to note that you may qualify for programs to offset your new roof cost. Your new roof cost may also be diminished by IRS tax credits if you live in a historic district.

Applying a Williams Education
Posted by wsloane under Academia, General, Academics, Eph Planet at 7:25 pm
May I invite you all to please scroll down on the link below and vote for my student, Dennis Medina. He's written his way to the finals of a Take America to College, a Gates Foundation effort to bring the voices and struggles of non-traditional students to legislators and policymakers in Washington. He's a Boston police officer on the gangs squad and a student in my midnight College Writing II class this semester Bunker Hill Community College. Click and listen to his story. Heck, listen to them all.
Vote early and often for Dennis. Tell your friends. Post any and everywhere. Voting ends Tuesday, March 2. Thanks.
I shall continue my crusade to persuade the Williams trustees to open the doors for a few such students. BHCC has two students thriving at Amherst, one at Dartmouth, one at Columbia, three at Smith. The deadline for transfer applications is coming up, and BHCC has fine students applying now to all these and more. Never give up, and this is a tough one.
Dennis's story (added by Ronit):Print • Email

8 Responses to "Applying a Williams Education"
Ronit says:
Thank you for sharing, Wick. I watched, and voted.
jeffz says:
I second your sentiments re: these students at Williams. If you ever want to gather signatures from alums for a petition to the trustees, or something, count me in …
Jr. Mom says:
Hey Wick.
Enjoyed hearing Dennis's story and hope EB can help him win a place on "the team". Could you tell us a bit more about what that will mean for him?
Also, ditto to what Jeff says. I have no doubt that any student you recommend to Williams College, would be a valuable addition.
Wick Sloane says:
Thank you all. Vote early and often.
What this means, Jr. Mom —
The Gates Foundation believes that the U.S. can make no better investment than in these motivated students, who know the value of education and are in school yet face nothing but obstacles. Interesting that this is an issue Gates has picked of all issues, not just education issues. Gates has several initiatives going for these students.
Gates hired PurpleStates to collect videos for this project, See below. The idea is to raise the voices of these students in Washington. The whole project is on the home page
So, one of the team of five students to go to Washington will be the winner of these ten. (Vote Dennis.) Take America will pick the others.
kthomas says:
Hate to do this to you, but…
On the questions of "making the weaker, appear the stronger," "democracy," and "voting–" and the SCOTUS decision–
Exactly how early, and how often, should I vote? Because with all of Amazon's static IP range open to me– and more if I want– stuffing the box with 10,000 votes wouldn't be hard–
and why should anyone stop me? The urban praetors– censors! If I can pay to make it to the ballot box more than others– that's my G-d-given right!
rory says:
Seconded what Jeffz said. I'd really love to help more actively than just the vote I gave (and I don't know how to screw with my IP like Ken!)
Wick Sloane says:
Your interest beyond a vote is great. My suggestion, as Einstein may have said, is to keep things as simple as possible and no simpler. Go to your local community college, find the president or dean of arts and sciences, and offer to teach a course or be a tutor. Just be a tutor a few hours a week. Save one life at a time. You'll fall in love with the students.
My warning is what my friend Lyn Marino says (she has taught at Hartford Community College for 25 years), "Wick, if they're not breaking your heart every day, you are not doing your job." Lyn's husband Steve, Williams '76, has been a public high school teacher all those years. Williams gave him a Bientennial Medal. He now teaches a course each semester, too, at Hartford Community College. Community colleges are union shops. Mine is NEA and you do need a master's degree to teach, according to the contract. My MBA works for teaching English. Bunker Hill President Mary Fifield has real work to do and has seen her share of liberal do-gooders. She gave me a night shift in the tutoring center. I now see this was a test. I kept coming back, and the English department gave me a section to teach.
Here is the dilemma. The mess Dennis and the other nine are in is huge, immense, beyond description. There are 1,177 community colleges in the U.S. and, depending on how you count, six million or more Dennis's with similar struggles. Yesterday, I helped a student from Eritrea, who escaped to Ethiopia and on to Boston, with his college essay. To Amherst. As a fact in the essay, this student dropped in that he'd been arrested, jailed, beaten, tortured and almost strangled. That's just one. In theory, I'm frustrated that his friend, similar story and a BHCC student, is already at Amherst. That student's sister, also BHCC, is at Smith. Williams visited once three years ago and has not replied to subsequent invitations.
But here's the point to which we must apply our own educations, Williams or otherwise. The Ivies, Williams and friends, depending on where you draw the self-described most-highly-selective (SDMHS) line, amounts to only about 50,000 undergraduate seats. Symbolism is important in leadership and as a matter of leadership and the symbolism that requires, Williams and all ought to do a lot better. But look at the numbers. Even giving all 50,000 seats to Dennis, for the nation, is not going to solve much with 6 million and more in need.
The public policy challenge is that we have to make the 1,177 Bunker Hill's more like Williams than the other way around. Go visit your local community college. See what you can do. Do not give money. Give time with students and faculty. There is a movement for philanthropy at community colleges. That can never scale up and cannot, as the situation has become, be an excuse for lousy public policy towards these students. This one is a matter of giving our brains and our skills and making eye contact with students like Dennis. No one has ever taken an interest in these students' lives. Letting these students know that you think they wrote a good paragraph really can do what the invention of penicillin did.
PurpleStates and Gates very much have in mind for this project using video to get these students' stories out for the world to consider. So far, so good.
rory says:
Consider it done (once this blizzard lets up and I can get over to the community college).
