This article has the potential to becoming the most informative and useful guide for first time travelers to Bali. Bali is a rather a big island, filled with historical monuments and tourist activities suited for every holiday need. For advanced surfers who want to surf from dawn to sunset, you will have no problems choosing from several world class breaks. The Bukit area is one area that you may want to start your search. If you are a young backpacker with limited budget and want to enjoy both day and night life, then Kuta would probably be your best option. For those with family looking to spend those lazy days playing on the beach with your kids, Sanur area is highly suggested.
This article will be about the most popular tourist areas in Bali and the differences between each spot.
Kuta is probably the most well known area in Bali. It all started as a small fishing village, made up of straw huts, and dirt roads. In just a few decades, Kuta has become the most touristy area in all of Bali. Now with paved roads and modern structural buildings, it is now covered with gift shops, cafes, and night clubs. One great thing about Kuta is the affordability. You can still find rooms to rent for $15 per night and on average spend just under $10 for 3 meals per day. Its a little city that never sleeps, always has something going on.
Prices: local food for $2-3 a meal and western style food for $5-7.
Beach: long stretch of beach with sunbeds, souvenir shops, and great shore breaks for beginner surfers.
Accommodation: cheap local home stays for $10-20 per night, and some 3-star hotels for $70+.
Nightlife: the most active in Bali, you can literally party non-stop every day! Most of the night clubs are located in Legian streets and there are lots of bars and restaurants all throughout Kuta.
Transport: this is a heavy traffic area. You can walk, ride a scooter, or take a taxi. Travel time to other destinations in Bali from the airport: Uluwatu 40 min, Canggu 20 min, airport 12 min, Ubud 1.5hrs, Sanur 30-40min.
Main streets: Jalan Raya Legian is the main street; beach street is called Jalan Pantai Kuta, small streets and with lots of homestays and places to eat: Poppies I, Poppies II, Benesari.
Surfing: beach breaks with sand bottom that are well suited for beginners and intermediates
Seminyak grew out of Kuta to become a more upscale neighborhood. Seminyak is famous for its fancy restaurants, expensive villas, and nightlife with clubs that have strict dresscode unlike Kuta. Seminyak is made up of expats and tourist year around. What I like about Seminyak is the options of foods to choose from. This is the place to go when local food has become redundant and you crave for something different. Seminyak offers world class fine dining experience. Famous chefs reside in this area that is why this area offers some unique cuisines.
Prices: Seminyak is more expensive than Kuta. For dinner, be ready to spend at least $10, highest $15-20, and even more for fine dining. Nightclubs are expensive. Hotels start at $100 a night and villas start between $200-250. For a more fancier and luxurious villa, be ready to spend around $600-$1500 per night.
Beach: same as in Kuta
Accommodation: hotels 3-4-5 stars depends on your taste and budget; lots of villas to rent for holidays, or longterm accommodation. This is the most expensive are compared to the rest of Bali districts.
Nightlife: Quite active night life with lots of fancy places; most of them are getting really busy on Frida and Saturdays evenings. During the week you can typically find special events, or party.
Transport: rental cars, scooter and taxis are available. Time to other destinations in Bali: Uluwatu 50 min, Canggu 15 min, airport 30-40 min, Ubud 1.5hrs, Sanur 40-50min.
Main streets: older part of Seminyak (more touristic and less fancy) is DoubleSix (Jalan Arjuna) and (Dhyana Pura); modern and more upscale parts are following streets: Oberoi, Laksmana, Petitenget – there 3 streets are famous for restaurants and nightlife.
Surfing: beach breaks with sand bottom that are well suited for beginners and intermediates
If Seminyak and Sanur are the most popular tourists destinations, then Canggu is the most popular area for expats to sttle down. You will find the highest concentration of expats living in this area. Canggu is quite big, filled with beautiful rice patties, small villages, with roads leading to dark sand beaches. Canggu prides itself as a simple, easy living lifestyle area. This doesn't mean that this area is under developed. It still offers numerous restaurants, small shops, and all the amenities that you find in rural areas. There are many villas of different style, size, and budget to choose from. Canggu is also a great surfers destination. It offers a variety of surf breaks that cater to all levels and styles. From beach breaks, to reef, long, or short board, left, or right handed breaks. Its got it all, but be weary of the crowed factor as this area tend to attract large croweds.
Prices: more expensive than Kuta, but slightly cheaper than Seminyak.
Beach: black sand beach with massive shore breaks, not suitable for swimming.
Accommodation: lots of villas and private houses (including cheap local ones for long-term stay), few surf camps and hotels / guesthouses for medium budget
Nightlife: Canggu is rather laid-back, but you can always go to Seminyak which is near if you feel bored in the evening; on Sundays there are parties in Deus which are fun. Besides that not much is happening in the area.
Transport: you need your own transport in Canggu – scooter or car (more on car rental here). Traffic is really bad at rush hour in some of the streets. Time to other destinations in Bali: airport – 40min, Seminyak 15-20 min, Kuta – 20 min, Uluwatu – 50min, Ubud – 1 hr.
Main streets: main streets/avenues are Jalan Raya Kerobokan and Jalan Raya Canggu; other popular streets: Jalan Pantai Berawa, Jalan Umalas, Jalan Batu Bolong, Jalan Banjar Anyar etc.
Surfing: several reef breaks with right- and lefthanders, with some barreling waves suitable for advanced surfers; there are also few longboarders and beginners spots; all spots are heavily crowded
Unless you are an experienced surfer, you might not like the Bukit area. Its not just a challenging place to surf, but lacks high quality infrastructure for restaurants. Dining experience in the Bukit has no comparison to Seminyak and Canggu. As for scerene, scenic nature views, Sanur and Canggu is better. Pricing on local food is not as cheap as Kuta. Nightlife is virtually non-existant, compared to Kuta, or Seminyak. What is good about the Bukit is for a peaceful and quiet getaway. It gives the feeling of a village life surrounded by beautiful cliffs and white-sand beaches. Be ready to ride a scooter, or rent a car, since everything is spread out, so transportation is a must. The Bukit is where you will find some of the most famous surf breaks in the world like Uluwatu and Padang Padang.
Prices: more expensive than Kuta & Canggu, but slightly cheaper than Seminyak.
Beach: the most beautiful beaches of Bali are located in Bukit, here are a few: Uluwatu, Padang Padang, Balangan, Bingin, Greenbowl etc.
Accommodation: the most options for local homestays, bungalows and small hotels for a wide range of price: starting from $15-20 per night for a room in a homestay, to $50-100 for a nice bungalow with a cliff-view.
Nighlife: a bit limited – compare to Seminyak – but some really crazy surfers parties are happening in Bukit; on Sundays Single Fin bar on the Uluwatu cliff, on Thursdays in Cashew Tree cafe near Bingin beach and few others.
Transport: get a scooter or a car, no other ways to get around in Bukit. Time to other destinations in Bali: airport – 25min, Seminyak 30 min, Kuta – 25 min, Ubud – 1.5 hr.
Surfing: most famous breaks of Bali are located here: Uluwatu, Impossibles, Bingin, Padang-Padang to name a few. They are mostly reef breaks suitable for advanced or intermediates that feel comfortable on fast and/or hollow waves.
Sanur is the oldest resort town in Bali. For several decades when Kuta was still a hippie and surfer village, Sanur had already established several large, fancy hotels and upscale tourist crowds from Europe. It provides a very relaxing and laidback atmosphere. Sanur is the ideal place to bring a family with kids, or elderly tourists. Beaches are vast with virtually no waves, ideal for swimming.
Prices: a bit more expensive than Kuta, but cheaper than Seminyak.
Beach: long stretch of beach with sunbeds, promenade; great for swimming (water is flat).
Accommodation: mostly hotels ranging from 3 to 5 stars ($80+ for 3stars, $150-250 for 4 stars, and around $300-500 for 5 star hotels; for more on hotels in Bali follow the link.
Nightlife: Sanur isn't really a place for night life; You may find a few restaurants that will have live music, otherwise there is nothing else going on.
Transport: Sanur is good for walking and bycicle riding. Taxis and car/scooter rental is also widely available. Time to other destinations in Bali: airport – 30min, Canggu 45 min, Ubud 30min.
Nusa Dua
Nusa Dua is a heaven for package tourists. Huge hotel complexes with beach access and "all inclusive" options. Aside from being entrenched by white sandy beaches and pristine blue water, I find Nusa Dua rather overpriced and boring. But for those who seek the type of vacation lounging around the beach hotels all day. Then this is the best destination to do just that. Although it is very scenic and beautiful, its not the place to really be entrenched in the culture of Bali. If you have the funds and require westernized amenities and accomodations, then Nusa Dua is highly recommended.
Prices: overprices and not really a high quality area
Beach: awesome beach (compare to most of Bali beaches) great for people who care about swimming and sunbathing. Famous beaches: Geger, Nikko.
Accommodation: huge resorts 3 to 5 stars including some really fancy ones like St.Regis and Mulia.
Nightlife: not really active
Transport: taxis are available, you can walk as well in some parts of Nusa Dua. Time to other destinations in Bali: airport – 25min, Seminyak 40 min, Kuta – 30 min, Uluwatu – 20min, Ubud – 1.5 hr.
Jimbaran is a big local fishermen village which is not really a tourist area. Here you will find mostly locals and expats. Due to a few hotels located in Jimabran Bay, hotel guest frequent in the area, otherwise not very touristy. There is not much to do in this area other than hang out in the hotel majority of the time, or drive somewhere else.
Prices: more expensive than Kuta, but still very cheap (especially if you go for local food).
Beach: Jimabaran bay is a long stretch of beach and waves aren't big there so you can go swimming(but most of the time noone does); there are lots of locals on the beach. Good thing about Jimbaran are seafood restaurants right at the beach that are open after sunset.
Accommodation: few hotels, you can find the ones I would recommend here.
Nightlife: none
Transport: taxis or rental transport. Time to other destinations in Bali: airport – 15min, Seminyak 25 min, Kuta – 15 min, Uluwatu – 20min, Ubud – 1.5 hr.

"Compared to 2015, we see some decline in several financial results for 2016, which is confirmed by experts' long-term forecast of stagnation in the global helicopter market. We are talking, of course, about a demand drop for products of both Russian and foreign production. Given these trends, Russian Helicopters has paid particular attention to optimizing costs and further diversifying sources of profit. Management decisions aimed at stabilizing the financial situation allowed our holding company to complete the year with profit and fully provide the firm orders portfolio for 2017," said Russian Helicopters CEO Andrey Boginsky.
In 2016, the company focused on improving quality of after-sales service, which helped to significantly improve financial performance in this segment. For example, compared to 2015, sales revenue resulting from service and maintenance increased by more than 18%.
"Considering changes of the external competitive environment and the actualization of our strategy, we conducted an in-depth analysis of our prospects, opportunities and risks, and defined key directions for the next ten years by identifying growth vectors in the current situation," Boginsky emphasized. - By improving performance of our helicopters and after-sales service, we will be able to enter new client markets. And we will also continue to increase internal efficiency, thus ensuring production volumes and reducing costs and overheads. "
In accordance with the strategy of the aviation cluster, Russian Helicopters intends to expand its model lineup, which includes active development of civilian products. According to Mr. Boginsky, despite negative market forecasts and difficult economic situation in the world in general, the holding company intends to strengthen its position as one of the leading players in the global helicopter market.
Key Financial Results for 2016
Consolidated revenue for 2016 amounted to 214.3 billion rubles and showed a slight decrease of 2.5%. Revenues resulting from helicopter sales for the past year amounted to 165.7 billion rubles. Revenue from maintenance and after-sales services for 2016 amounted to 45.4 billion rubles, which is an increase of 18.4% compared to 2015.
The cost of production and services for 2016 amounted to 116.4 billion rubles, which is an increase of 13.6% compared to 2015. EBITDA for the period amounted to 40.9 billion rubles. EBITDA in the helicopter sales segment amounted to 22.3 billion rubles, in the maintenance and after-sales service segment – to 16 billion rubles.
Profit in 2016 reached 16.2 billion rubles, which is a decline of 61.1% compared to 2015.
Key Operational Results for 2016
In 2016 Russian Helicopters delivered 189 helicopters, which is 23 helicopters or 10.8% less than in 2015. In total, the holding company delivered helicopters to 13 countries. At the end of 2016, the company's firm orders portfolio was 396 helicopters with estimated value of 466 billion rubles. Supplies for 2017 are 100% secured by firm orders.

June 10 to July 25, 1999
No man is an island," and this female body is a vast continent that contains a rich and vibrant story, if my body is an isolated landscape, I want it to be viewed as a dark territory. My self-portraits are evolving into a mass that is beginning to emerge out of the darkness without clear borders.
I work with the medium of photography. I am interested in the historical ideology that has influenced the technology of photography and the way the technology can be manipulated. With my most recent work I am trying to subvert images of the female nude by making self-portraits and playiwn with the question, "is my body the subject or the object?"
Sequencing and variations in posture can create different readings of images. I am moving away from sing, stand-alone images and now I have been making images that can be read together. A word or phrase can be attached to an image and I'm interested in creating sentences, paragraphs and stories.
I have been influenced by the photographic nude self-portraits of two male artists, Arno Rafael Minkkinen and John Coplans. Minkkinen combines his body, landscape and the qualities of the photographic medium to make unique portraits of a body that is transformed into something more unified and natural. Coplans' portrait work documents his aging body with grace, honesty, and humor that I find very emotionally moving. Both artists have produced private self-images which were moved into the context of the public image.
I have been printing black and white negatives of my portraits on colour paper, producing warm colours that accent skin tones and tactility. The hands in my portraits are also important focal points that emphasize scale and the sensation of touch. To prevent a clear and direct gaze of my body and face I have been using a soft focus and occasionally include other objects. A black velvet background has been used for this particular series of images. The velvet does not translate visually in the images but appears to be transferred to the rich soft texture and the drape of the skin on the body's frame. There is constant attention to the sensation of touch in these images even though the body can only be seen.
A naked female body on display can be viewed as a passive object and to contradict this perspective, I have intentionally chosen a vertical format and created attention to the activity of touch. Also, by actively participating in the image-making by using my own body, I cannot help but challenge the history, codes and tradition of female images. The emphasized skin surface displays scars, blemishes and wrinkles; this is not an innocent body without history, but a person who has experienced life. The portraits can be read as formal compositions of the female body presented for the direct gaze, but by creating images of an experienced body that is both beautiful and flawed, I hope to change this most accessible opinion.
European culture has a history of desire and loathing for the female body. A woman's body was deceitful and had to be controlled for society's safety. The aging imperfect body can be associated with corruption, loss of sexuality and decay. Though this exhibition of photographic self-portraits I want to encourage pleasure in viewing a woman's body that is not a limited icon of masculine heterosexual desire.

|Biodynamic winery in winter
Saturday, October 21, 2017
I have heard the term biodynamic and wondered what was involved. Some consider it voodoo science and quackery, a scam. Others feel it is holistic natural way of gardening. leveraging mystical forces. The description I like is it is organic permaculture with a spiritual twist.
Biodynamic farming is actually the precursor to organic and sustainable farming. It is from Dr. Steiner's teaching of how to work with the earth and heavens to farm in harmony with nature that the term "organic farming" was coined by those describing Dr. Steiner's farming approach.What do the terms GMO, natural, heirloom, organic, hybrid really mean?
After WWI, the chemical companies had stock piles of bomb making and nerve gas materials. They repurposed these into fertilizer and insecticides for agriculture, which are toxic to soil microbial life. German farmers saw that the health of their crops and animals began to decline. They asked Dr. Steiner to come see and provide guidance. Dr. Steiner's philosophy I think is summed up nicely by this quote "You need to stop thinking of your farms as factories and envision them as living organisms-self-contained, self-sustaining, following the cycles of nature, and able to create their own health and vitality out of the living dynamics of the farm."
Biodynamic gardening was developed in Germany in the early 1920's by philosopher Dr. Rudolf Steiner. Dr. Steiner believed that the soil, plants, animals and everything in the solar system is interconnected. The backbone of the method is the making of preparations used in minute amounts to enhance production. Biodynamic gardening results in much enhanced soil and veggie nutrition and increased top soil depth Biodynamic soil study.
Many gardeners feel that the approach is too complicated to implement in their gardens. However, you can purchase the preparations to add to your compost. I purchased mine from Malibu Compost. You can compost in small spaces or even indoors. Composting is possible in small spaces or even indoors.
There is a deep devotion to the soil's health, animal welfare, and the cycles of the moon and stars. Gardening by the phase of the Moon It is important that 10% of farmland is set aside as a biodiversity preserve. As with organic, farms have to be certified to claim their products are "biodynamic" by following the Demeter Processing Standard. http://www.demeter-usa.org
|Free range chickens used for pest patrol (control)
As with organic gardening, biodynamic uses only all natural amendments, pest and weed control. As with permaculture, biodynamic gardening is self-contained with no outside inputs brought into the farm. Permaculture-companion planting on steroids Cover crops are used routinely. The farm is considered a wholly connected organism. There is also significant emphasis on water conservation and companion planting. Planting and harvesting is done by the phases of the moon and astral conditions like those our grandparents followed using the Farmers Almanac.
There are 9 "preparations" used in biodynamic (BD): BD#500 horn manure, BD#501 horn silica, BD#502 yarrow, BD#503 chamomile, BD#504 stinging nettle, BD#505 oak bark, BD#506 dandelion, BD#507 valerian, and BD#508 horsetail. BD#502-507 are collectively known as the compost preparations.
BD#500 is a cow horn packed with cow manure and buried in the ground for the winter; the preparation smells like chocolate come spring. BD#501 is silica packed in a cow horn buried in the ground for the summer. BD#502 is yarrow blossoms sown into a stag bladder that is hung in the summer sun and buried for the winter. BD#503 is chamomile blossoms stuffed in a bovine intestine and buried over winter. BD#504 is the entire stinging nettle plant ground up and buried in the ground surrounded by peat moss for a full year. BD#505 is ground oak bark packed in an empty skull with the membrane intact and buried in swamp like conditions for the winter. BD#506 is dandelion blossoms stuffed into bovine mesentery or peritoneum membrane and buried for the winter. BD#507 is the juice of valerian blossoms that is fermented for a few weeks. BD#508 is a horsetail tea.
|Cover crops are important for soil retention, soil nutrition, and soil enhancement
It is best if the preparations are made on the property that it will be used. Steiner believed burying the preparations in the ground gave cosmic and earth energy to them. If you are going to purchase the preparations, purchase them from a farm in the same continent.
Spray applications of 501 and 507 raises the top level depth from shallow to a depth of 14" over several years according to biodynamic wineries. Using cover crops and adding compost to the soil is the backbone of organic practices that has been shown to increase top soil depth. Biodynamic farmers believe the spray applications enhance these practices to another level.
BD#508 spray is used to combat fungal conditions. I sprayed my garden with BD#508 this summer as I had lots of fungal pressure with all the rain we got last June and the rain is even greater this summer. I did see a reduction in fungal damage. It takes a few years of caring for the farm to get it to optimal levels.
To try out the benefit of biodynamic in our garden without personally finding the ingredients and making the preparations, I purchased Bu's Brews by Malibu Compost biodynamic compost tea bags. I add the compost tea bags to my water pail and water my pots and garden plants after aerating the biodynamic compost tea as recommended. I then compost the bags in my compost pile that I add back to the garden.
You can purchase wines and food products that are raised biodynamically. Whole Foods carries many biodynamic brands or you can search for them on Amazon. Here is a directory of biodynamic product http://www.biodynamicfood.org
|My sister, mom and I at Beckman vineyards
Over the holidays a couple of years ago, my sister and mom wanted to know what "adventure" I was up for during my stay in the Los Angeles area. I wanted to visit a biodynamic farm to talk to the farmers to get a better understanding of what biodynamic is all about. We toured a biodynamic winery, Beckmen Winery & Vineyard in Los Olivos, CA, and an organic, regenerative permaculture urban farm, Fairview Gardens in Goleta, CA, http://www.fairviewgardens.org.
The most well known biodynamic farms are likely wineries in the US. Frey, Beckmen, Quivira, Bass Vineyards, and Benziger are a few wineries that raise their grapes following biodynamic practices. Beckman Winery is within driving distance of LA. Beckmen Winery produces excellent wines. You can visit the winery, have a picnic, and try their wines in their tasting room. https://www.beckmenvineyards.com
I am a big fan of organic and working with and supporting nature. Biodynamic farming embodies this approach. The additional layer with biodynamic is the preparations used in small quantities in your compost piles to impart the energies of the earth and sky and being self-sufficient within the farm itself. Dr. Steiner believed all was connected together as a living organism. Even though scientific proof of how the energies are imparted is a mystery, studies prove the soil and nutrition of plants in a biodynamic farm is higher than conventional.
We find out more each year of how interconnected everything is.

It's been more than two decades since A Fish Called Wanda, the heist farce co-written by Monty Python's John Cleese, was released to critical acclaim (including an Oscar for Kevin Kline) as well as surprise success at the box office. Now British comedy site Chortle (via Empire) informs us that the musical adaptation that Cleese discussed over a year ago with Steve at Sundance 2009 is inching closer to fruition. In an e-mail to fans, Cleese announced that comedian Bill Bailey would join himself and daughter Camilla to work on songs for the Wanda musical, which they hope to debut in San Diego before hitting Broadway and London's West End. From what I have seen of Bill Bailey on the otherwise delightful sitcom Black Books and various panel game shows (Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, etc.), I have unfortunately never found him funny. But his ubiquity on British television suggests that many others do, so here's hoping his teaming with Cleese, an undisputable comedic genius, bears hilarious fruit.
After the jump, read the full e-mail announcement from Cleese, itself a rather droll piece of work.
Here's Cleese's full e-mail on the Fish Called Wanda musical:
We've just completed the book for the musical of A Fish Called Wanda and I'm pleased that Camilla hasn't completely stolen all of my dignity in writing so brilliantly. She's left me a few scraps to hang onto to keep me warm at night. Soon, we'll start to work on the songs for the show with Bill Bailey, who, among his many achievements, is an honourary member of the Society of Crematorium Organists. This musical is destined to be a hit amongst funeral directors.' But who would you like to see playing the immortal roles of Archie, Wanda, Otto and Ken? We're hoping, nay, praying (perhaps in some alternate universe) that Johnny Depp might step in as Otto, but that's about as likely as resurrecting a dead parrot. Still, we can dream, eh?

22 October - He reaps what he sowed. And complains about it
I've had to get myself to East Ham twice in the past three days so I am more
than a little biased in favour of more river crossings. Teresa O'Neill and Boris
Johnson were damn fools to put a stop to Ken Livingstone's bridge. Now that they
realise how stupid they were Bexley Council has several times tried to confuse the
issue at Council meetings by telling us that Ken's relatively small scale bridge
was the same as the three lane motorway bridge thrown out by the planning inspector
several years earlier.
It would probably become clear sooner or later so it may as well be now, but I thought London was mad to elect Sadiq Khan as Mayor. The only plus I could see was that he might not be such a fan of O'Neill and perhaps clip her wings. I suppose one could say he has done that but I am not so sure it is panning out the way I would like.
A couple of weeks ago Mr. Khan made his river crossings announcement. No mention of the Gallions Reach and Belvedere crossings, plans for which were well advanced and consultations done. Instead there is to be a DLR extension to Thamesmead, the Greenwich side, and no advance tip off to Bexley Council.
Councillor Gareth Bacon who is also Bexley's GLA Member doesn't like Khan any more than I do and says he "has torn up years of work".
These are extremely complex engineering projects that will be very expensive, take a lot of time and require major consultation with residents in the affected areas and the relevant boroughs, including Bexley, Newham, Greenwich and Havering.
Yet the Mayor felt it appropriate to simply go ahead and announce a DLR extension at Gallions Reach without speaking in any detail with the affected local authorities, despite knowing it could blow their hard-thought proposals out of the water.
Not only has Sadiq Khan risked severely damaging the relationship between City Hall and the local boroughs in east London, he has also left major doubts over his ability to deliver these much-needed crossings.
The Mayor has been entirely cavalier in his approach to these river crossings so far. He quickly needs to recover some good faith with those he will need to work with to deliver these major infrastructure projects.
He's changed his tune somewhat. Maybe if Gareth Bacon hadn't been so negative in the past the Mayor may have taken Bexley into consideration when making his plans - or should I say off the cuff remarks?
Gareth Bacon has made it absolutely clear that he doesn't want a bridge in Bexley. In January 2013 he even spent taxpayers' money on spreading his propaganda as widely as possible. The following leaflet was posted to every household in the borough. Click image below to see a bigger version.
And in case that wasn't enough to convince residents that Bexley Council was against the bridge he issued the following three months later.
It looks like for now at least he will get what he campaigned for.
Every now and again a blog risks annoying both Bexley Conservative and Labour parties equally, this could be one of those times. In my opinion Sadiq Khan has already broken far too many of his promises.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, on 27 October, said that Donald Trump is the "poster boy" for everything that is wrong with the America economy.
Her comments came on a day when the Republican nominee took a break from campaigning to promote his new hotel in Washington, which he boasted was "below budget" and "ahead of schedule" -- without offering specific figures.
"We've actually learned in this campaign that Donald Trump is the poster boy for everything wrong with our economy," Clinton told her cheering supporters at Tampa in the battleground state of Florida yesterday.
"He refuses to pay workers and contractors from Atlantic City to Miami to Las Vegas. He stiffs small businesses. And I've met so many people who did projects for Donald Trump, and then weren't paid."
"Today, in opening that hotel, I think it's important to note that he once again relied on undocumented workers, the same people he has been insulting and demonising throughout this campaign," she said.
Clinton alleged that many of the products in the hotel were made overseas rather than in the United States, and said Trump even sued the District of Columbia to pay lower taxes. "That is the way that he does business."
Americans do not want that kind of experience in the Oval Office, she said.
Clinton also lashed out at Trump's remarks on the US military, saying his contribution to it was nil.
"He actually has a gall to call our military a disaster."
"Not only is he wrong, but what right does he have to say that? He hasn't contributed a penny to our military. Not a penny to our veterans. Not a penny to healthcare or education. Not a penny to highways or infrastructure. This is false charge that he makes about all the problems in our country," she said.
Trump, she alleged, has been "denigrating" America for decades.
"This didn't start with his birther lie against President Obama, it didn't even start running against me. Back in 1987, he took out a USD 100,000 ad in the New York Times, criticising President Regan. He said our leaders were the laughing stock of the world. So, this is a guy who criticises everybody but himself," she said.

The history of Bangladesh has been one of extreme. It has thrived in the glow of cultural splendor and suffered under the ravage of wars. Some medieval European geographers located a paradise at the mouth of the GangesRiver that was the deltaic land of Bengal. Bengal is the ancient name of present day Bangladesh. Bengal was the wealthiest part of the Indian Subcontinent until the 16th century.
It is assumed that the Austro – Asiatic race first inhabited this region in prehistoric age. Afterwards came the Dravidians, Aryans and Mongoloids. Archeological excavations show signs of powerful dynasties that ruled the land till the Muslims from the Central Asian region conquered it in the 13th century AD and established their rule. A succession of Muslim monarchies ruled over the area till 1757, when the British conquest took place. In 1947 the British left the Indian Subcontinent and Bengal came to be known as East Bengal and then in 1956 as East Pakistan. In 1971 through an armed struggle Bangladesh emerged as an independent state.
Mahasthangarh is so far the oldest and largest archaeological site of Bangladesh, is about 12 km north of Bogra town and is connected by a good metaled road, the extensive site represents the wreckage of an ancient city (4th century BC to 14th century AD) called Pundranagara. The city was identified in 1879; the first regular excavation was conducted at the site in 1928-29 by the Archaeological Survey of India under the guidance of KN Diksit. It is roughly oblong (1.523 km by 1.371km) in shape encircled by high rampart with thick brick wall core at places and is entrenched on all sides save the east where the river Karatoya were flowing in ancient time. Inside the fort, however, still lie the remnants of temples, Stupas, Masques, a good volume of movable antiquities have also been salvaged from its ruins. They include silver punch marked coins, silver coated copper cast coins barring inscription, rouletted ware, NBPW, black slipware, blank and red ware, beads of semiprecious stones, terracotta plaques and toys, sculptures, objects of daily use and so on. But by far the most important one is a Brahmi Inscriptional slab datable to the 3rd cent. BC. Around the fort for about 8 km excepting the east suburb, there are many older mounds and a rest – house near its north east corner. A mission of French Experts has been working in the site since 1993 in order to reveal its whole unknown past as peer an agreement with the Government of Bangladesh.
Latest findings indicate a total of 18 building levels and that the city was inhabited as early as 6th Century BC. Dwellers of the city were mainly traders, who traded to and from faraway countries. Allegedly the city was derelict after a great fire in the 15th Century, and had gone underground in few centuries. GovindaBhita, LaksmindarMedh, BhasuVihar, ViharDhap, Mangalkot and GodaibadiDhap are excavated sites located outside the city but within its vicinity. The site has an adjacent museum that houses findings of the city.
Is the prime attraction for the tourists in the southern part of Bangladesh. Build by Khan Jahan Ali in the 15thcentaury, made of unusually thick tapered brick in the Tughlaq style and a hut-shaped roofline that anticipates purely local style. It has 81 domes and sixty stone pillars for which it is called sixty Gumbad mosque – which later has changed into ShaitGambuj (Sixty Domed in Bangali) mosque. The mosque is situated at the Bagerhat town & one of the world heritage sites of three in Bangladesh declared by UNESCO.
The music and dance in Bangladesh can be divided into three distinct categories – classical, folk & modern. Folk music nurtured through the ages by village poets, rich in devotional mysticism and love lore, are known in different names in different regions of the country. The most popular forms are Bhatiali, Baul, Marfati, Murshidi and Bhawaiya. Classical forms of the greater Indian Subcontinent have strong influence on Bangladeshi dance. The folk, tribal and Middle – Eastern traits can also be seen. Modern dance and music is loved by all, especially by the young people. There are a good number of music bands that perform regular shows in big cities. Among the tribal dances particularly popular are Monipuri, Jhoom, Bamnoo and Santal.
Situated 20km west of Rajshahi it is an Upazila in Rajshahi district. PuthiaJamindari created by the Mughals in the early 17thcentury is one of the oldest estates of Bengal. The 1895 two storied PuthiaRajbari is one of the most attractive structures in the area. Among others the five spire Govinda temple, Trio Bangla temple, and the Shiva temple of South Indian Style are interesting.
SHAHID MINAR: (Language Martyrs Memorial):
International Mother Language Day is an observance held annually on 21 February worldwide to promote awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. It was first announced by UNESCO on 17 November 1999. Its observance was also formally recognized by the United Nations General Assembly in its resolution establishing 2008 as the International Year of Languages. International Mother Language Day originated as the international recognition of Language Movement Day, which has been commemorated in Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) since 21st February 1952, when a number of students including the students of the University of Dhaka were killed by the Pakistani police in Dhaka during Bengali Language Movement protests.
The Sundarbans in Bengali it means a beautiful forest. It is a cluster of Islands-the single largest mangrove forest of the world and popularly known as the home of the RoyalBengal Tiger. This wonderful forest is located at the estuary of the great Ganges spanning over more than 1065000 hectors of land on the south-west part of Bangladesh and the south-eastern portion of the state of West Bengal, India. Bangladesh possesses about 62% which covers an area about 620,000 hectors of land or (6036 sq. km) of the total forest area.
The whole of the Sundarbans forest has been declared as Reserved forest having 3 Wild life sanctuaries: "Sundarbans East", "Sundarbans West" and "Sundarbans South" with the total sanctuary areas which stand 139,698 hectares This unique forest has been listed by the UNESCO as the world heritage site since 1997.
The charming feature of this saline land and water is the perennial forests of luxuriant growth under the fostering care of nature. Thousands of meandering streams, creeks, canals, rivers and wide estuaries have not only enhanced the natural beauty of the forest but also opened a magnificent opportunity for cruising, boating, sailing and fishing. Its rivers are abundantly infested with sharks, Irrawaddy dolphin, porpoises, and estuarine crocodiles and ideal habitat for shrimps, lobster, pomfret, salmon and other sea fishes. The continental shelf is extended 200 miles from the beach of Sundarbans. Here lies the famous swatch of no ground which itself is a mystery. There are more than 424 rare species of wild animals like Royal Bengal tiger (464), Spotted Deer (95000), Wild Boar (40000), Barking Deer (10000). Rhesus Monkeys (70000), Estuarine crocodiles (500-600) and Irrawaddy dolphin (6000) largest population in the world. The other important wild life are Bengal Monitor Lizard, common toad and tree frog, King cobra, Rock python, Black Krait, River Terrapin, Russel Viper, False Vampire and different type of Turtles and Sea snakes.
The wonderful mangrove vegetation supports more than 325 species birds of both migratory and local. Out of which rare species are Masked finfoot, Adjutant Stork, White bellied Sea Eagle, Mangrove Pitta, Western Curlew, Large Minivet, Purple Sunbird, Red Jungle Fowl, Oyster catcher, different type of shore birds, Parakeet, colorful Wood Packer, 8 types of King Fisher out of which /brown wing King Fisher and Ruddy King Fisher s are the common.
Sundarbans forest is not only holding the largest population of Royal Bengal Tiger but also is famous for wild honey. There are hundreds of thousand bee hives can be found during the early monsoon and collecting of these high quality honey by the professional may be termed as the most exciting and dangerous adventure since the honey collectors are to involve face to face encounter with the man eating tiger in the forest. Today Royal Bengal Tiger is considered as the most ferocious and cunning and possessing man eating habit by genetic heritance.
Paharpur, an important archaeological site in Bangladesh, situated in village Paharpur under Badalgachi Thana of Naogaon district, the site contains the structural ruins of a single unit of Buddhist monastery which is being considered as the single largest of its kind on the south of the Himalayas. The site was first noticed by Buchanon Hamilton in course of his survey in Eastern India between 1807 and 1812. But regular and systematic excavation was jointly started here in 1923 by Archaeological Survey of India, Varendra Research Museum of Rajshahi and CalcuttaUniversity. Excavation unearthed a Buddhist monastery that was built during the period from 780 AD to 830 AD by Dharma Pala, the second king of Pala Dynasty. The site comprises of a nearly rectangular surrounding wall with minor structures like refectory hall, kitchen, well, small Stupas etc. and a central Stupa, the monastery accommodates a rectangular (280.5m+280m) open courtyard with a lofty pyramidal temple to a little west of its central point and a line of monastic cells in each of its four wings. The main entrance on the north is outcropping beyond its perimeter and is open through two pillared halls with a group of cells on both sides. The central temple stands on a cruciform bade where in it contains 63 stone sculptural pieces in a line of niches. Moreover, each cornice of its each stage is decorated with carbed bricks depicting Lozenge, dentils, chain, chess-board, pyramidal representation and so on. Below these cornices there are friezes of terracotta Plawuer depicting several views from the folk life of the 8th -9th century AD. About 2800 plaques have been recorded so far. The stupa has a cruciform foundation for a hollow chamber supported by four identical wings in four directions. The site has an adjacent museum that houses findings in the surrounding.

How to Teach a Young Man to Shave For the First Time
There are many times when single parents are faced with the dilemma of teaching the opposite sex child some basics of life that they will have to acquire. A single dad may have to learn all about pigtails and braids, talking to a daughter about periods, and helping her to select her first bra. These can be daunting occasions for some fathers who are alone.
Single moms have a similar situation: how to teach a son about puberty, hormones, girls and simple tasks like shaving. If you are a woman who has no older brothers, no close male friends and no friendly he-man neighbors what are you to do?
Resources about shaving hair
First, I believe it is rare, under normal circumstances, that a person has no one to turn to. But, there are situations in which this occurs. In this day and age our technical support team is a great start. When my nephew, now 17, had his eighth grade commencement he wore a suit and tie. I had to figure out how to tie it and teach it back to him. My resource: the internet.
By turning to 'Google' I was able to select the visual aid that assisted me the most in understanding the twists of the knots and practicing it. When it comes to the 'first shave' ritual, I would suggest that moms take a peek at what videos are available on YouTube or other sites. It is amazing how much one can learn by turning to this resource.
Boys love to practice shaving
Daddy Role Models
Little boys love to emulate their fathers in every way. Watching dad shave, and later pretending to shave, is part of the development of young males. I have a wonderful memory of my oldest grandson, Marco, receiving his first 'shaving kit' one Christmas when he was six. He could not wait to try it out.
The first shave is actually a ritual and one that should ideally be shared between father and son. That is what memories are made of. But, with the number of absent parents, (both moms and dads), that is not always the case.
When my nephew had grown sufficient facial hair for me to no longer ignore, I sent a good friend in to help with his first shave. And, what was my role? I acted as witness and recorder-I took the photos of the event. The men, young and old alike, were tolerant of me and my camera.
How to Shave: Steps 1-3
So, how to teach a young man how to shave for the first time? These are the steps I would recommend:
1. Provide a man's razor. Ladies, don't give your son a pink handled razor and expect him to be happy using it. It's humiliating enough that you are standing in the bathroom with him without stripping him of his dignity further by handing him a girl's razor.
2. Buy shaving cream. Again, do not hand over a product that you are using-keep those girly things out of sight from his first experience. Shaving cream is recommended over soap. There are several reasons for this, primarily-it dries quickly on the skin and does not act as a lubricant.
3. Instruct your son to place a warm, moist washcloth over his face where he will shave. As seen in the old 'barber shop' scenes in movies, and suggested by hubber Stevennix2001, it provides a smoother shave. Then, have him lather his face well. Shaving cream should cover the facial hair liberally-under the nose, around the jaw, up the cheekbones, etc, etc.

How to Shave Steps 4-5
4. Give your son plenty of encouragement and keep the criticism out of your voice. This is not the time to make the young man any more nervous handling a razor to his sensitive skin. Comments about the mess in the bathroom, ruining your clean towel, etc, need to be tabled. There is nothing in the room that cannot be replaced-unless it is the previously mentioned nose.
5. Some men like to splash a little aftershave or cologne to their cheeks for a refreshing end. This decision will have to be up to your son. But, it is a wise woman that teaches less is more.
I still remember when I shaved for the first time. I had cut in many places, and my face was swelling. I did not face my sisters and mother for three days.
Denise -
I know teaching the opposite gender how to do tasks such as shaving are difficult, but remember, males do not shave under the arms or the legs. lol The kids would never forgive you for that. Actually, another place to shave is in the shower. I've done it for years and actually find it awkward to stare in a mirror and shave now. Plus, it saves time, even though it uses a little more water.
Great Hub! I don't envy your task at all!
This is awesome!! I never got to learn to really truly shave because I was raised by my grandma. I guess this hub could be a prediction about how she felt about raising two boys (my older brother and I). She had seven girls... so I don't think she knew much about "manly" things. Though she did her best. Funny, awesome, voted up!! Thanks a lot Denise for sharing this! :)
I can't remember how I learned how to shave. My dad didn't teach me, I think I learned from a friend.
It is supremely important to learn how to do it right, because if you don't then you will suffer with razor burn and ingrown hairs. Outstanding!
Hi Denise Handlon, with three boys of my own I definitely need this skill. You did such a great job presenting this. I'm bookmarking it! My boys love to play like they are shaving in the shower! It's so cute. Voted up and useful! Take care, Kelley
Sooo useful. What a great idea to turn it into a ritual. I have a 13-year old (boy!) with a very hairy upper lip - it's nearly time to bring on this 'first ritual of manhood'!
This is so very well presented and unique.
I have to apologise Denise I seemed to have lost track of my hub reading but I am catching up slowly but surely.
I away now to read you daughter and sister's hubs.
If they take after you they will be brillaint.
Take care
When I looked at the topic first, it sounded funny but my mind changed after reading it. It's a difficult situation for mothers to teach her boy how to shave and you've tried to taught her in a good way...
Thanks for the step of this articles it can make easy to follow.
Awesome good work here.
I attempted my first shave when I was 7 or 8 and split my lip open. It was very painful as i recall. When I was 15 or 16 and actually needed to shave my parents wouldn't teach me because they thought my skin was too sensitive and spotty and I'd ruin my face. I did it anyway and all was fine. If only they'd had this guide it would have gone smoother hehe nice hub :)
Cool and unique hub!
I would rather use electric shaving machine. There's no risk of cut, pimples, rough skin, whatsoever.
I learned shaving myself at the age of 12 and remember having my lip cut by the razor's sharp edge. Ouuuuuccchhhhhhh!
Interesting post, when i use to shave for the first time my dad told me how to do :D
Good advices for single parent. By such hubs i could feel the situation how hard it would be for them and how easy to tackle. a very nice hub..
Pretty good advice Denise. Although, you might want to include that it helps applying a hot towel over your face before applying the shaving cream onto your skin. It kind of helps the razor glide onto your skin better. At least, that's been my experience. To be honest, nobody ever taught me how to shave as a child, as I was kind of forced to figure it out for myself. Luckily, I've seen a lot of old films that had guys shaving in the past, so I kind of just mimiced what I saw. lol. Good thing I didn't screw it up though for my first time. Otherwise, that might've been...(gulps)..PAINFUL. LOL. Anyways, thanks for the great read Denise. I'll definitely be sure to rate your hub up on this one, as you offer some very good advice here. :)
Hi Denise! Well written, of course, and I can imagine, useful too!
Wonderful Denise!! So many single parents are in the situation of teaching their child something that they have never done before or never thought of. I love how you have reminded us to be sensitive on all accounts.
One thing I am grateful for is the internet!!! A wealth of information at our fingertips! :)
You know, I never really thought about the fact that I had to learn this at some point, but had forgotten under what circumstances. Puberty is happening at earlier ages these days, as I really did not have to deal with the shaving issue until I was 18. I guess, I just picked a razor and started thru trial and error, eventually getting it right.
Recalling the time when I was involved with this brings back rich memories of a simpler time. Thanks for opening the portal.
I wish I had your guide when my son was learning to shave, band-aid wrappers filled the sink instead ;-) What a great how-to idea! Very useful Denise!
what a Wonderful Hub read and guide for either parent to follow. Thanks for sharing and I Loved the pictures of the little guy...brought back memories of my own two boys at that age.
Good guide and easy to follow instructions. Just shared this with my single mom friend, whose son (my Godson) is getting to that age.
Great advice.
GodBless Denise.
This is such a fantastic guide!! Voted up and useful! If I ever have a son (which will never happen... but if it does, his name will SO be Atticus), I shall know how to teach him!
Very good advice Denise.
What a cool idea for a hub, Denise. I wonder how many people teach boys to use electric razors these days? It doesn't have the same allure, but that's what I'm planning to do when my son gets older. :)
I know what you mean Mom, I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to do this now that I'll be back to work. And I commented BEFORE church!!!
Well done! and this after a night shift? wow - keep 'em coming
It is very true, many parents are forced to face teaching their children about things that they may not always be comfortable with because it deals with the oppposite sex. Great tips to help with this stage of life.

EVEN THOUGH HE KILLS YOU, TRUST HIM8:55 am
Scripture for today
Job 13:15 AMP
[I do it because, though He slay me, yet will I wait for and trust Him and] behold, He will slay me; I have no hope–nevertheless, I will maintain and argue my ways before Him and even to His face.
What will you do if all you try to do gets frustrated? I mean really frustrated. You try to preach the gospel and all you get is persecution. You try to float a business and all you get are struggles. You lose all that you have. You are wealthy, you have even beautiful thing you could ever think about God always provided and suddenly all in one day you lose it all. I mean, what really has gone wrong? you will ask yourself. Due to the economic situation in our country you seem to be losing money everyday. Your family and friends are almost going hungry because you simply can't provide anymore.
Did I mention what you are going through? Or maybe yours is tougher, maybe you are tied down with sickness. It just seems like God has gone on a vacation. You just wish he could kill you rather than leave you to face these difficult times alone. You are not alone, YES! Never alone. Job was going through worse, he lost it all. He couldn't just understand it all but there was one thing he understood and stood upon "Even if he slay me, yet will I trust him".
I think that should be your prayer, that even if God kills you today You will trust. Never let go of your faith. Proclaim your love for him even though you don't feel loved. Proclaim his faithfulness even when your faith seem shaky. Brethren see, all things he has said are working for your good. And he also said he will never leave us nor forsake us. Romans 8:28
Prayer: Father, I know you will never leave me nor forsake me, I trust you totally to show yourself strong in my situation.

For the FNG's…An Introduction To The Wing Blogosphere
by IwoCPO on 04/10/07 at 10:33 AM ET
Comments (0)
I'm guessing, based on past playoff adventures, that we'll be seeing some new visitors to A2Y. Flame fans, we welcome you as we welcomed your provincial pals last year. I offer none of the "trolls stay away" admonitions. If you're a troll, I could care less. Trolls don't scare me anymore. I used to be frightened because they hid under my bed and ate oreo's, keeping me awake until my 23rd birthday. But they're gone and that makes me happy.
I would, however, like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the rest of the Wing bloggers, most (if not all) are much more accurate than yours truly. They all bring something different to the table, so I recommend you visit each of these sites:
On The Wings. Matt Saler and his band of serious Wing fans offer hard and sound analysis of every game, every move the Wings make. Matt and I frequently disagree, but usually only because he doesn't understand my child-like wit.
Behind The Jersey. There is probably no more passionate Wing fan on the net than Christy Hammond. Yzerman expert and UM student, bionic knees and a great writer.
Gloveside. Hilarious and topical. Flame fans, don't venture there unless you can handle a jab or ten.
Snapshots. George Malik's blog over at MLive. George is the prime resource for all articles Wing-related.
Gorilla Crouch. Dave is a combination of Gloveside and OTW. Serious at times, but definitely capable of sarcasm, a trait we admire greatly here at A2Y.
No Pun Intended is a blog I visited for the first time this morning. Sexual innuendo and hockey do mix, thankfully.
I may have missed a few. If so, I take full responsibility and expect to be reminded of it publicly…as usual.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome: email@example.com

Recollections & Reflections – A weekly column
JUST when we thought there were no surprises left, out of the hat came yet another political stunt.
There appears though to be a contradiction of sorts, with former prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed on the one hand reminding his viewers that he had said he would not sit on the same chair again when he retired in 2003.
But there he was, also stating that he could not ignore his friends in Pakatan Harapan.
Quote: "If they have such a suggestion and it is agreed upon, then I might be forced to consider. At this point I don't agree to be prime minister."
Safe answer and an open ended one, coming from the man who ruled this country for 22 years and who thinks that even at the age of 91 – and 14 years after leaving office – he still has it in him to be PM all over again.
The idea first came from his former detractor but now bosom buddy Datuk Seri Zaid Ibrahim but there was no take-up from there, which must have been a big letdown for Mahathir.
The latest development on this was a recent recording of an interview that was published at Mahathir's Facebook page.
But just like the first time, so far no one in the opposition Pakatan or anyone else of significance has warmed to the idea promoted by the "#HangTanyaCheDetJawab (You Ask, Che Det Answers) interview.
Apart from that initiative by Zaid, it's tough to imagine any of the Pakatan leaders agreeing to even nominate Mahathir for the job again.
What is clear and beyond dispute up to this point is that the only person Pakatan wants as PM is the jailed de facto opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, although getting him there would not be without its many obstacles even after he is set free of his five-year sentence.
Even if Mahathir somehow manages to convince enough Pakatan leaders to pick him over Anwar, the other roadblock awaiting Mahathir is the PKR Youth, who thinks that having the party just co-habitating with Mahathir is bad for the party.
Remember too that these youths formed the backbone of the reformasi movement that took to the streets in 1998 after Mahathir sacked Anwar from the government and the ruling party.
So what can we make out from Pakatan's willingness to work with Mahathir's Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia but showing almost no interest in having Mahathir as PM again?
It looks like Pakatan is simply grabbing the opportunity that comes, mindful that Mahathir and his boys in Pribumi Bersatu can be counted upon to bring in some votes but that's where everything else stops.
Almost all the Pakatan leaders were already in the opposition when Mahathir was PM from 1981 to 2003 and more than a few were detained under the then Internal Security Act.
Strong words were used to make these leaders feel small. Who would believe anyone who says these people have long forgotten what Mahathir did to them and what he is capable of doing as prime minister?
In the meantime, barely a year after it was founded, Pribumi Bersatu appears to be on shaky grounds, with members in Perak especially deserting the party.
Party president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin may have his suspicions about the person instigating this but the fact remains that the desertions are getting worse.
About two years ago, when Mahathir started to hammer away at sitting prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, a friend said what he saw on social media showed that young Malaysians were warming up to Mahathir and clearly expressing their support for him.
This doesn't come as a surprise if we are talking about those aged 30 years or below.
The oldest of this lot would have been only 16 when Mahathir decided to quit and that would have been too young to truly understand what the man was all about in his 22 years as PM.
Not for the next generation and the next and the next though.
Remember the many letters to the press from senior Malaysians suggesting that Mahathir should leave his successor Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (now also a tun) to do his job without interference?
In other words, they were also telling Mahathir to simply enjoy his retirement and not to expect Abdullah to do his bidding.

40 years ago today, the Internet was born.
On October 29th, 1969, the first message from one computer to another was uttered: "lo". Were they going for an abbreviation of "hello", something along the lines of "lo and behold"? Well, not really. UCLA was trying to type "log" to send to Stanford, but their system crashed after the first two letters. I get pissed off when Hulu stalls halfway through the episode of Community I'm trying to stream, but sometimes we've got to count our blessings. If it weren't for the Cold War, we might not have had this wonderful waste of time and extensive porn database that we call the Internets. Thank you to all those involved in the gestation of the net; Leonard Kleinrock, UCLA, Stamford, Ivan Sutherland, and Al Gore. We owe you everything.

Trevor has posted a helpful piece on The challenges of choosing books for children.
What criteria do you use for selecting books for your kids?
Sure we need to ask about reading levels, enjoyment and appropriate content regarding the child's development. I also want to be asking questions about …
- How does this book foster my child's imagination?
- Does this book support or undermine some of the values I'm trying to instill in her?
- Is the artwork good, beautiful and true?
- Is this a book that she might enjoy reading on their own?
- Will I enjoy it? Will I look forward to reading it the 30th time?
What criteria do you use for selecting books for your kids?

About This File
Ultimate Chip 3 is my third major set. It contains 149 levels tested in both MS and Lynx, of varying difficulty. Included in the zip file is the .dat set file, as well as a .dac file for each ruleset and a .ccx file with my thoughts on each level.
Difficulty ranges from early CCLP1 to mid CCLP3, so expect a challenge in the later levels with some relatively easy stuff early on. Hopefully, it's as fun for you guys to play as it was for me to design and test.
As usual, any and all feedback is appreciated, even if it's just "great level (Y)".
Thread: http://cczone.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/962-ihnns-levels-feedbackdiscussion-ultimate-chip-3-trailer-released/&do=findComment&comment=28282
The set is also being uploaded over at pieguy's site with the contents of the ccx file in the notes section, along with the obligatory scoreboard for the MS side of things. Happy chipping!

With the transition of ''cutting'' to ''bulking'' taking place for most of us this time of the year we wanted to outline a handful of areas you don't need to concern yourself with! Often people will get hung up on the fact that maybe certain things are happening to their body which really are not that much of an issue, so here goes – some much needed reassurance!
Water Retention
Often you will notice gym goers fret about water retention which generally increases with an increase in calories, in particular carbohydrates. This can lead a more watery appearance within your muscles, midsection and even face in some cases. Whilst it might not be conducive for a photo on the beach in 30 degree heat does it really matter if you are looking a little softer if it means you are able to eat in a way which ultimately leads to muscular hypertrophy and a bigger and stronger you for next year? At FitMag we think not – a little water retention induced by added carbs or creatine (although this is often intramuscular or subcutaneous) really isn't something you need to concern yourself with.
Of course the idea is to increase in body weight if you are trying to gain muscle when it consider muscle weighs up to 8 times that of body fat. However, many will often get hung up on weight and concern themselves that because their weight is up their ''fat'' which isn't always the case. No, you don't want to gain weight to the point where you are driving your body fat to a point where it becomes counter-productive but if it goes up a couple of notches don't lose too much sleep over it! For some people depending on their body type this a natural occurrence, generally the only body types which can generally get ''big'' without compromising on their body fat are ectomorphs with reasonable muscle mass.
Increased Appetite
When we eat for size it is quite common to experience an elevation in appetite, don't worry you are not suffering from anything other than an increased metabolic rate due to the volume of food you're eating! This is ideal because you are able to stomach the calories you need to fuel growth and at the same time your metabolism will help prevent too much of an increase in your body fat levels. The fact that we tend to eat copious amounts of food during the colder seasons is no coincidence after all, food is comforting and it is natural to feel hungry when the body is cold due to its thermogenic effect.
Now you can relax and get back to enjoying your bulk!
