However, after review it became clear Kadri kicked the puck in.Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Read on for the biggest rumours as GMs have one day remaining to make moves prior to the beginning of free agency. Organized Reim The Toronto Maple Leafs may now also be able to add finding a new home for James Reimer to their list of tasks. The 26-year-old is reportedly seeking a trade after losing the lions share of crease time with the Leafs this season to Jonathan Bernier. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger stated Monday that the request is not unexpected. "James Reimers trade request should come as no surprise," he said in a tweet. "He believes hes a #1 and wants a fresh start to prove that." He added that the Leafs do not have a strong offer for Reimer on the table and that he has been told to be ready for training camp in the event a suitable deal can not be found. Toronto does have interest in Martin Brodeur, according to Dreger, but his sense is that the interest is "mild". Toronto is also expected to make another offer to Dave Bolland on Monday. Dreger said he does not expect the Leafs to go beyond $25 million over five years, which he believes will not be enough to keep Bolland from the open market. Centre Stage After failing to strike a deal at the NHL Draft, Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray is now inching ever closer to the July 1 free agency opening without a new home for centre Jason Spezza. McKenzie said Monday that while interest remains high in the 31-year-old, there is nothing imminent on the trade front. "[St. Louis] and [Dallas] are the two teams who currently have interest in [Ottawa]s Jason Spezza," he tweeted Monday. "Doesnt sound like a deal is close." Van City Thomas Vanek is another popular option for teams seeking a breakout forward. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports that there are eight-to-10 teams interested in the big Austrian winger, including the Minnesota Wild. The Wild are not believed to be interested in a long-term deal, LeBrun says, but that does not appear to be a deterrent for Vanek who is still believed to like Minnesota as a possible landing spot. Bringing up Boyle Dan Boyle will likely have no shortage of options once the formal offers start rolling in on Tuesday. Dreger reports that Boyle will have multiple offers to consider come noon et on a new two-year deal. The Tampa Bay Lightning, Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers as well as Toronto and Montreal are believed to be his top five destinations, according to Dreger. Speaking to TSN Radio 1050s Mike Richards on Monday, Dreger said "a return to Tampa Bay would make sense because there is some familiarity between both parties." Welcome Matt Interest remains high in UFA defenceman Matt Niskanen, meanwhile. Dreger reports that more than 10 teams have expressed interest in the Pens blueliner. Niskanens camp is believed to be set to trim that number down over the course of Monday to get ready for formal offers on Tuesday. Avalanche of Options Paul Stastny is another big name drawing lots of attention. Billy Price Jersey. LeBrun tweeted Monday that Stastny and agent Matt Keator will work to cut down their destinations list prior to Tuesday and that the St. Louis Blues are expected to remain in the mix. However, LeBrun added that a return to Colorado is still not off the board. The Avalanche dont appear to have the funds to throw around that other suitors might in their pursuit of the 28-year-old centre. Playing it Kul With free agency looming, Nikolai Kulemin may look to join a compatriot once the market opens on Tuesday. Dreger told TSN Radio that the Russian winger could be looking to join former Magnitogorsk teammate Evgeni Malkin and the Pittsburgh Penguins once he officially hits unrestricted free agency. "The Pittsburgh Penguins have expressed interest and with a salary of $3-3.5 million dollars, he will have no shortage of suitors," Dreger said. Curious Gorges The Leafs are still believed to be in pursuit of Montreal Canadiens blueliner Josh Gorges, but his modified no-trade clause may be holding things up. TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie tweeted the Leafs are still hoping hell waive his NTC. If that would occur, McKenzie stated "its believed Montreal would get a roster player from Toronto" in exchange. However, the blueliner may not waive his clause at all. McKenzie tweeted that the situation is "problematic for all. Montreal had deal with Toronto but Gorges refused to waive his modified NTC to go to Toronto. Still wont." The Gorges situation could get more complicated if he refuses to waive his no-trade. According to McKenzie, Montreal appears to want to shed his cap space. They are able to trade him to one of 15 pre-approved teams, but could also put him on waivers failing a trade. If put on waivers, Montreal gets no return but Gorges then loses all control of where he could potentially end up, meaning Gorges might be convinced to take a trade to Toronto instead of being available to any one of the leagues 29 other franchises. Restricted List Monday will see a host of NHL teams extending qualifying offers to their pending restricted free agents, but some players will be cut loose to find new teams via unrestricted free agency. The Anaheim Ducks have not qualified Mathieu Perreault, but are believed to have made him a substantial offer. He will hit unrestricted free agency unless he accepts the offer. Other players without offers include the Vancouver Canucks Zac Delpe and Jordan Schroeder, the Ottawa Senators Jim OBrien, Nathan Lawson and Tyler Eckford (per Le Droits Sylvain St-Laurent), Tampa Bay defender Keith Aulie (per the Tampa Bay Times Joe Smith), Dallas Stars centre Dustin Jeffrey (per Stars writer Mark Stepaneski), Rangers defenceman Justin Falk (per ESPNs Katie Strang).

Re^2: consolidating menu option processingby temporal (Pilgrim)

|Need Help??
Well that's certainly a nifty approach, encapsulating the entire menu's functionality rather than just the unique options. Thanks for the example!
I should've guessed there would already be something on CPAN, ha. Most of those modules seem to be good for validating input, but not so much for consolidating all of the options execution (which is in addition retrieving basic string input) at a single point of code.
Since we both ended up implementing variations on them - it seems like dispatch tables are the way to go! =)

Having troubles moving on from a break-up? Maybe you're checking your ex's social media too much. According to this study, individuals who surveil their former romantic partner's Facebook are more likely to have a more difficult time moving on.
To help you with this, Facebook has just released a new tools that will, "Help people manage how they interact with their former partners on Facebook after a relationship has ended," according to Facebook product manager Kelly Winters. Once you change your relationship status, individuals will be promoted to try these new features.
This WIRED article explains these features more in depth and provides some interesting insights on the "digital break-up" process. With these new tools, users will be able to:
- Prevent suggestions of the person's name when tagging photos or people in updates
- Limit the presence of the person's updates/content in Newsfeed
- Simultaneously untag themselves from photos with that person
Of course you could just delete the person from your Facebook…but that would be dramatic, right?

Yesterday, Forbes had a blog that detailed online sentiment about Tiger Woods over the past couple months.
The poll by PR firm Gregory FCAshowed that feelings about Woods were actually worse after last week's speech.
This morning, we got a poll from Turnkey Intelligence, which delves deeper into the repercussions from the Tiger speech.
While the survey showed that only 35 percent of non-golf fans thought Tiger's speech was genuine, two of every three avid golf fans (66 percent) thought it was from the heart, while 53 percent of casual golf fans believed Woods' words meant something.
There's also an interesting divide along racial lines, as 69 percent of non-Caucasians thought Tiger's speech was genuine. Compare that to only 31 percent of Caucasians who told Turnkey his statement was genuine.

Well, it certainly was crappy out this morning. I know it's the Northeast and all, snow, sleet and freezing rain are a part of winter, but this is sort of ridiculous. We get it Mother Nature! You win!
I had to walk in the street to get to the subway because the sidewalks around my apartment were a sheet of ice and my rainboots were slipping everywhere. I'm feeling lucky I made it without busting my butt! If all my weight can't break through that ice, I don't know what will. Aside from frozen sidewalks, the freezing rain was just nasty and not so good for my hair. My walk to the subway made me think of one thing: my friend Ali who seems to run in all sorts of insane weather conditions. I texted her to find out if she went for a run this morning, and she said she did not. Her exact words were "I'm hardcore but not stupid." Good point. You can (and should!) read all about her adventures running in a NYC winter wonderland here.
As for me, I finally made it to my office, and the commute wasn't as bad as it sounds. Got myself a breakfast of egg whites and turkey, my new favorite. I am attempting to eat better and bigger breakfasts so I don't eat as much the rest of the day. Frankly, I am not really an egg person, but I do like this breakfast! I am attempting to be healthier all day long (breakfast and lunch) so I can go eat wherever I want for dinner. I love to go out to dinner, so constructing the rest of my daily eating habits around that is important.
I am trying to have an all around healthier lifestyle, but it's a pretty big change for me. I have started working out at the gym and I am finding that I like it in the morning. In the past, I have always worked out at night and then stop going. I always felt like I was giving up going out at night for the gym. Now that I am there in the morning, I can do both and this makes me happy. I started working out with a personal trainer with New York Sports Club in Midtown. His name is Bryant and he has been with the gym for 15 years. He's incredible and a great motivator. He pushes me in a good way without making me hate him, but he is also easy enough on me that I enjoy the workout. This is a little pathetic, but I already notice a difference: I am no longer out of breath when I get to the top of the steps leaving a subway. I don't see any changes to my body yet, but hopefully that will follow soon!
I wound up eating tuna salad with avocado (avocado makes everything better!) on a whole wheat pita for lunch and that was just so-so. I only ate half because I didn't love it. I'm trying not to eat just to eat…if that makes sense? I know I am going out with my friend Dave for drinks tonight, so eating healthy-ish all day was required. I am finding more and more healthy options in and around my office, which is great. I also find that eating a better breakfast and lunch really helps me throughout the day. I don't get sluggish or tired, and the day seems to go faster. Working out in the morning also makes me entirely more productive at work then when I don't work out. All around, great things happening.
Just in case you thought I was a healthy person, I wound up going out with my friend Dave after work for hot toddys at my favorite bar, Shoolbreds. We ordered hot toddys immediately, and I was happier than a pig in mud. The warm, cinnamon, green tea, scotch flavor made me forget about my frozen commute. Shoolbreds is so perfect for cold days, with their leather chairs, fireplace, dark nooks and corners, and fun music such as "Runaround Sue" and "Twist & Shout". After two hot toddys to warm us up, Tal and TBW showed up and we decided to do dinner at The Smith, a few blocks away.
Dinner was pretty decent, Tal and I split mac and cheese and I only had a few bites, cheese is making me sick lately (saddest thing ever) and a roasted pork sandwich. The sandwich boasted toasted bread, roasted pork, shaved cauliflower, arugula and some sort of aioli. It was a good sandwich, but the top was toasted and the bottom soggy, too much arugula, and the pork was sliced. I did however, take the half I didn't eat home for lunch tomorrow because it was good enough, and didn't seem that bad for me.
I don't know if I would go back. It was pretty mediocre and I know there is a lot of hype surrounding The Smith and it's sister restaurant, Jane, but now I have eaten at both and neither impressed me. Oh well, on to the next thing!
I am once again cozy in my bed and ready to get some shut eye before a busy day tomorrow.
What are your favorite healthy choices when eating out?

So here I am, writing my first blog. I have a smile on my face knowing that I am actually doing this. Its friday afternoon, im starving and wasting time until my office holiday party. For the past week I have been stuck reading "Mike the master dater" blogs. And I thought, I think I should share my experiences, my advice and my thoughts.Along with reading Mikes blogs, I just finished reading the book. "Deal Breakers, when to stay in a relationship and when to move on" So could you have guessed, Im going through a break up? 3 Year long relationship, that wasnt consistent to begin with. So now I am trying to figure out if what we 'really' had and what I am holding on to is real, or if its a bunch of BS and its time for me to move the F on. Here I go sending stupid texts like "have a good day." Do I really want him to have a good day? of course not! i want him to miss me and to feel sad and to chase me. so why the heck do i say have a good day? to initiate convo? We broke up because he cheated. I always thought if I was a good girlfriend, that karma would reward me with a good boyfriend. BOY WAS I WRONG! Not to say that he isnt a good person, but he isnt a good boyfriend. I made a list. A list of 24, of the man I would HATE to be in a relationship with. It goes like this
/* Style Definitions */
{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;
font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";}
5.no goals/no jobs
6.not family oriented
7.has no faith or religion
8.not supportive
9.loves to talk about himself
10. doesn't like to be around my friends/ or in a social setting
11.who waits for me to do "man duties" around the house/car, etc.
12.doesn't have a job
13. who asks me where i want to go or what i want to eat and then says no (soo annoying)
14.not affectionate
15.doesn't want to try/do new things, or think of things in another persons perspective, closed minded
16.doesn't see me as equal
17. doesn't believe that compromise and sacrifice is part of relationship
18. "crosses the line" with text message to girls
19.doesn't make me a priority (i understand we all have busy lives but BALANCE is important)
20. doesn't surprise me or spoil me ONCE IN A WHILE (i am not the kind of person to ask for much, i would rather give than receive BUT sometimes it would be nice to know you are thought of)
21. not proud to be in a relationship
22. Who says they are going to do something but doesnt
23. doesn't remember things/favors/comments that I say or ask
The best thing I know to do its cut it off. Too bad its easier said then done right? My ex and I are still sleeping together, still get annoyed when one person doesn't reply "fast enough" to texts, still talk almost on a daily basis, and im sure its just me who is reading these damn book. So what is really the deal between us? No one knows. So I will update you on my journey and my true feelings. I know im not in this alone. The older I am getting, the more people (guys and girls) that I meet, and the more BS that I go through, has made me realize that a lot of us girls are in the same situation (maybe not exact, we all have our little twist to the story) and that the more BOYS I meet and date, the more I realize they are all the same and probably wont be ready for a real relationship for long while.

Anyway, for as much as I enjoyed the video (and I did - especially the music!), I was bummed they left out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I mean, I understand they're not considered "as important" as the other days of Holy Week, but they're still part of Holy Week and deserve at least an honorable mention, right?
Trying to view Holy Week as only Palm Sunday and the Triduum is like viewing a puzzle with several missing pieces. Sure, you can probably make out what the picture's supposed to be, but you miss details and information that make the image clearer and more beautiful.
Monday was the cleansing of the Temple - it's what put the Sanhedrin on high alert since the Romans (now present in higher numbers in the city to keep the peace during Passover) saw Christ not only messing with the Jewish folks, but all the Gentiles who gathered in the court of the Temple to exchange goods / services.
Tuesday was full of parables and prophecy. Tuesday was, in my opinion, the day that the Pharisees finally decided that Jesus MUST be dealt with before the week's end (due to the Render Unto Caesar response). This was when they finally realized they'd never get the best of Him, and had to find a way to kill Him.
Wednesday was the day we remember Judas' actual betrayal. It's also when Christ's death / burial was predicted through the actions of the woman with the perfume.
Each day does, after all, bring us one step closer to the Foot of the Cross. Monday reminds us that we must focus on spirituality and a proper last minute cleansing of our own temples (bodies) so we are ready to accept the Sacrifice of Christ. Tuesday, cautions us to always be ready for the return of Jesus lest we be caught unprepared. Wednesday... it's like our last moment during Lent to anoint Jesus with our humble offerings - the charitable acts, fasting, and mortifications completed throughout Lent.
Those three days are of such importance. I wish Broken Halo had mentioned something about them. But ah well... there's only so much you can do in 2 minutes, and they certainly picked the highlights!

Happy Hour ~ Time For A Nap
You'll find this on my Pinterest Board under Words I ♥. I am a true believer in naps for all. If I had a megaphone, I might be on some street corner shouting at all passersby - "Take a nap!" If I were a legislator I would promote a bill to require everyone to take a siesta daily, like they do in other countries.
Do you nap? Do you prefer power naps of 20 to 30 minutes or longer naps of an hour or more?

Let's be frank: If Trump had Russian business deals and was lying, he, just like former national security adviser Michael Flynn, would be compromised; the Russians would know what he is saying is not true and they would therefore have leverage over the president of the United States. That's quite apart from whether Trump might have felt financial pressure or incentive to treat the Russians more gently than he otherwise would. Potential Russian ties or concerns certainly may have affected the way he treated Flynn after being told Flynn was lying to the vice president about contacts with the Russians. Any Russian connection very well could have made Trump more reluctant to cut Flynn loose. We simply don't know, because Trump is not letting us look at available evidence.
Graham, a former military lawyer, knows precisely what he is doing. In the legal context, during the "discovery phase," one side is allowed to look at all relevant evidence or at evidence that might reasonably lead to relevant evidence. That is effectively what Congress is charged with — finding and explaining relevant evidence of Russian connections to Trump and his campaign. Surely Trump's business ties, if any, and his possible untruthfulness are germane to the investigation.
Lots of documents and individuals might be able to shed light on these matters: Trump's sons (who have said the Russians played a big part in Trump's real estate business), his accountant and his business records, including tax records. Press secretary Sean Spicer suggested at the White House briefing that some sort of letter might be coming from his lawyer. Terrific. That person can then be questioned under oath. (What records did Trump make available? What Russian oligarchs bought Trump properties? What did Trump's son mean in statements suggesting Russia played a big part in their family business?) The issue is not simply current connections (which even Trump would not maintain) but past deals, loans, partnerships, etc.
If the FBI investigators isn't already looking for financial ties between Trump (as well as his campaign and transition officials) and Russians, they aren't doing a very thorough job. Whether they are pursuing such avenues of inquiry or not, Graham and other members of relevant Senate committees have every reason — and, I would suggest, the obligation — to present a full picture of Trump's Russia associations to the American people.
If the other party had the majority, we'd already have seen subpoenas and/or legislation requiring disclosure of Trump's tax returns. That might happen after the 2018 election, but in the meantime Graham is right to want to know everything about Trump campaign ties to the Russians — and that must include all the candidate's ties, including financial ones.

It's fitting, since at the very end, she announced her second child will be a girl! Before taking a bite out of a white cake pop, Mowry said, "Now for the moment we've all been waiting for: my gender reveal. Let's find out!"Lo and behold, the cake pop filling was bright pink. "We're having a girl! We're having a girl!" the Sister, Sister actress said. "[My son] Cree is going to have a baby sister. We are so excited." Mowry, who married Cory Hardrict in 2008, announced her second pregnancy two months ago. Mowry made cake pops, cakes and cupcakes in the video. "You know what I just thought of? What if you're having twins, and it's like a boy and a girl?" the mom-to-be wondered in the video. "Maybe you make half of the cake pink and half of the cake blue and mix it all in there." As far as the vlogger knows, it's not a problem she has to worry about. "I feel like I'm kind of big for how many months I am. Like, my belly is just like—bam! It's just like, 'Hello! Hello, world!'" Mowry said with a laugh. "So, when I'm around my mom, she's always like, 'Tia, are you sure you're just having one?' I'm like, 'Mom, do not put that on me. I don't want to have any twins.'" "I don't know why people think that just because you're a twin, you want to have twins. No! I know what it's like to be a twin, OK? Don't get me wrong—twins are great. I'm a twin. But my mom, she actually told me…She was like, 'Tia, you could be having twins.' 'Cause my mom, when she was six months pregnant, that's when she found out she was having twins," said Mowry, whose twin sister is Tamera Mowry-Housley. "She said we were on top of each other, so it looked like there was just one in the belly, but there were actually two. I'm not having twins, people! Even though it may look like I'm having twins, 'cause I'm you know…Woo-hoo!" ShareTweetPin

One of the queries that we have been receiving about the Yureka Plus since its launch yesterday was whether it featured the same camera as the original Yureka did. Well, on paper, it definitely did. As per the official spec sheet received by us, both devices have 13.0-megapixel cameras with Sony sensors, although there have been a few rumours flying around that the Yureka Plus came with a newer variant of the Sony sensor.
We have asked the company for a response, but even as we were waiting for a reply, we decided to take some sample shots to see if there were any significant differences between the two cameras. We stuck to auto mode and made no tweaks whatsoever in the settings.
The results are there for you to see. And yes, there are some clear differences between the two cameras – the one oddity we noticed was that pictures on the (original) Yureka seemed to have a slightly larger file size than the Yureka Plus. Also, pictures taken by the Yureka Plus seemed to have a slightly 'warmer' feel to them, with colors that seemed a bit brighter and did not have the shades of bluish grey that sometimes crept into the Yureka. Neither camera is a low light wizard, although shots taken by the Yureka Plus seem to be just a bit lighter in general. The Yureka rather surprisingly (well, it IS more than six months older) held its own when it came to detail – we could read licence plates of fast moving traffic – even though colors seemed slightly faded on it. In the front facing camera, both devices yield similar results.
Note: Yureka on left, Yureka Plus on right. Click on each to open the full resolution versions hosted on Flickr
Our conclusion, based on this brief shooting essay: the camera on the Yureka Plus does not seem a huge step forward from the one on the Yureka, although it does seem to deliver slightly brighter colors. But that is hardly a bad thing as the shooter on the Yureka was quite a steady performer and better than many on the market (read our review of the Yureka's camera here).

Between the old timers and the millennials, Hip Hop is arguably in the casket and in need of some saving. Who's to answer the call? SpiffyUNO answers by dropping his appropriately titled track 'MARVELous' just in time for Marvel's latest box office hit Doctor Strange.
Story | Adam Douglas
The Builders International artist unleashes his super powers on the rap game, name dropping heroes and villains alike from the pages of Marvel Comics. This track is packed with punch lines that crack a smile on the face of any comic book enthusiast:
"This nigga trippin', untied shoelace,
Big black thang on my waist I call it Luke Cage,
His work prove why he the best so don't ask him,
My team is up like the fist on the Black Panther"
Produced by LA based beatmaker SoundsByKrock, "MARVELous" captures the essence of a comic book by sampling a grandiose string section straight out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As per usual, the South Central prodigy doesn't fail to bring the lyrics to compliment the song's production. With ruthless delivery and clever wordplay, every bar of the track references a Marvel character in a creative fashion, definitely worthy of a RapGenius decipher:
"Don't get me started on these other niggas,
See that's The Thing I'm way harder than these other niggas"
So think you know your Marvel history? Listen and test your inner geek to see if you can catch them all.

Glitch wrote:After reading so many of these posts, there are a couple things that are very interesting to me. One thing is that I've noticed quite a few people on these boards have met a medical expert that either believes in PSSD or has had it. For me, this has not been the case at all. They always just think that I'm crazy even though I go in there perfectly composed, clearly not distraught , with perfect blood tests.
The other thing, is how few people seem to be talking about it in general but I can't figure out if people don't realize that's it from SSRIs or it goes away much faster OR that there is virtually no one who actually has PSSD.
I can totally understand why someone wouldn't believe in it at this point. I'm always hoping that there is just some other health problem that I can fix and I can forget about PSSD forever.
I (UK) met one doctor who believes in PSSD. He told me there is nothing that can be done and to look into legal action. He failed to write about it on my medical records as he said he would. I've visited other doctors since then and they don't believe me.

Wong Kok Char Chan Teng 『 旺 角 茶 餐 厅 』
Wong Kok Char Chan Teng emerges as a slight twist from usual Hong Kong cuisine, boasting an impressively wide variety of all-day bites. There is only one outlet in Singapore but numerous joints in Malaysia.Stepping into the outlet at KSL City, I thought I was entering a fusion bar or some karaoke joint in China.
The menu had an overall colourful layout that speaks of the vibrant, bustling feel of the cosmopolitan city.
There were so many items on the menu that I had no idea what to select with a limited space in my stomach. Nonetheless, here's a review of what I've tried over a couple of visits.
Seafood Cheese Angel Hair in Portugese Sauce - RM16.20
Angel Hair is one of my favourite pasta and probably my mum's specialty, but Wong Kok's version sadly does not really satisfy. The cheese was soothingly mixed into creamy sauce, with sufficient amount of seafood spewed across the plate. Although the plate appears huge, the portion of rice is barely sufficient.
Sliced Beef Akamiso Ramen - RM13.80
The word 'ramen' evokes thoughts of Japan rather than Hong Kong. Tucking in, I found the broth clear and absolutely delicious. With generous portions of beef swimming in the noodles, I would recommend this to foodies not fussy about the authenticity of Japanese food as this is a revised rendition of ramen.
Pork Chop Cheese Baked Rice in Hong Kong Style RM16.20
Other than presenting the cheese baked rice on aluminium foil, there is nothing very inspiring about this creation. Because Hong Kong is highly associated with the dim sum basket, having your baked rice in a basket probably does make one 'feel Hong Kong'. However, this dish feels easily accomplished at home with my oven.
Chicken Chop Baked Rice with Cheese Sauce - RM16.20
One of my favourites is the Chicken Chop baked rice with cheese sauce. How is this different from the Hong Kong Style cheese baked rice? I haven't got a clue. The only possible difference appears to be that the cheese sauce packed in more cheese than the Hong Kong style rice.
The chicken was thoroughly juicy and tender, and had less fats compared to the chicken used in the ramen. After gobbling the entire basket, I still felt quite hungry.
Chicken Chop Japanese Soup Udon - RM13.80
I am tempted to label this dish the 'Worst-tasting dish I've ever had in my life'. The chicken chop was covered with so much fat that I had an aching in my heart a few hours later (literally and figuratively). The broth is similar to that of the Akamiso Ramen.
Each strand of udon was so hard to chew, I felt I was eating plastic. It was not at all satisfying.
French Toast - RM5.00
I'd appreciate it if Wong Kok Char Chan Teng did away with this 'Happy Bakery' snack. Deep-fried in oil and butter, my throat was crying for help and turned slightly sore. Perhaps a more angelic side to this dish is that it tasted soothingly sweet. However, it was definitely too oily.

Can I safely feed Purina's Mare & Maintenance (my feed dealer said its now called Enrich32) to a gelding?
(Cowgirl, United States)
Yes, you can feed these feeds to a gelding...in fact, they are appropriate for almost every class of horse as the base of the diet, as they are both ration balancers.
Why do I say both? Because your feed dealer is a little bit mis-informed. Yes, the name of the Mare & Maintenance has now changed...but it is now Enrich12, while Enrich32 is what used to be called Born to Win.
The Enrich12 (Mare & Maintenance) is meant to be fed with alfalfa diets, while the Enrich32 (Born to Win) is meant to be fed with primarily grass diets.
I feed an equivilant of these feeds to all my horses, including my geldings, and they all thrive on them.
Thanks for a great horse nutrition question!!

Our service area covers the greater Hartbeespoort and Brits area in the North West Province of South Africa. Hartbeespoort and Brits are +/- 20km apart with Hartbeespoort south and Brits north of the majestic Magalies Mountain range. Both areas falls under the Local Municipality of Madibeng. These areas are very different and unique in their offerings.
Hartbeespoort is situated on the slopes of the Magaliesberg mountain and the banks of the Hartbeespoort Dam. The name of the town means "gateway of the hartbees" (a species of antelope) in Afrikaans.
Hartbeespoort has become a very popular holiday and weekend resort for the inhabitants of Johannesburg and Pretoria: it is the principal water recreation area of northern Gauteng and many types of water sports are enjoyed on the dam.
There has been a noticeable increase in activity in the property market in the Hartbeespoort Dam area over the last 15 years, which is confirming the value of investing in a unique destination suitable for both permanent living as well as leisure accommodation.
Being only 40 minutes drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria facilitates permanent living with superior lifestyle benefits, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close enough to commute for work or leisure purposes.
The mining activities of platinum, chrome, vanadium, ext.. north of the Magalies mountain range also boost the demand for residential property rentals and sales.
Permanent residency represents approximately 60% of the local population, generally catering for the middle to upper income group, whilst the leisure market is also realizing the potential of the area.
Businesses and investors in the area are experiencing an increase on their returns, especially when compared to leisure investments at the coast, due to its convenient locality and all the activities on offer.
Brits is a large town and the district is situated in a fertile, citrus, vegetable and grain-producing area that is irrigated by the waters of the Hartbeespoort Dam. It is close to the Tshwane Metropolitan of Gauteng, which includes Pretoria and it has the same dialing code as Pretoria. Brits is linked to Pretoria by the N4 Platinum Bakwena Toll Road, that was build in the early 2000s, which significantly cut travel time between Brits and the major cities of Gauteng.
In addition to being a centre for agriculture, the town is home to several heavy industries.
The town also plays an important role in the mining industry: 94% of South Africa's platinum comes from the Rustenburg and Brits districts, which together produce more platinum than any other single area in the world. In addition, there is large vanadium an chrome mines in the district.
It offers good returns on rental property thanks to strong demand among mine contractors are luring investors. The demand for game farms in the area also increased dramatically since the end of 2012. Buyers from Johannesburg and Pretoria are in the market for weekend retreats.
Both Hartbeespoort and Brits offers the best leisure opportunities in South Africa because of its:
-African Bushveld atmosphere
-Perfect weather conditions – all year round.
-Magnificent Magalies Mountain Range.
-Great dams like Hartbeespoort, Roodekoppies and Vaalkop
-Location: within an hour's drive from Pretoria, Midrand and Rustenburg.

A golden touch for The Scapegoat
As one of the most recognisable works from the Lady Lever Art Gallery's collection and among William Holman Hunt's most famous paintings The Scapegoat often attracts a lot of attention. In art gallery circles this results in frequent requests to loan the painting for exhibitions across the world. It is our role at National Museums Liverpool to ensure above all that artworks are accessible to as many people as possible, and that they are preserved for generations to come to enjoy as we do today.
Here we give an insight into how we care for such famous and well loved works of art from the perspective of Roy Irlam our frames conservator. Read more…

In a blog update on his website, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross said that his wife Jan suffered a catastrophic brain injury and is still alive only thanks to the life support equipment as she fights to recover.
"I will fully admit that there has been no experience in my life that could have prepared me for this life changing week. To see one's life partner and love of one's life being kept alive via life support equipment is tragically heartbreaking," Ross wrote.
JR said that in order for his wife to survive, the swelling in her brain has to subside soon, however she "is fighting for all's she worth to save her life."
Ross detailed how his wife Jan made him a better man and was there to nurse him following his three bouts of Bells palsy and the colon surgery.
"This woman loves me more than I'll ever deserve and simply knowing her has enriched my life to levels that I can never repay," Ross added, saying that this blog was written "through many tears and shaky hands."
JR thanked his fans for all the love and support showed to him and his family over the past few days.

Means testing pensioner benefits to fund Dilnot could make care crisis worse
These payments are effectively part of the Basic State Pension
We need less means-testing, not more, as penalising self-reliance and saving increases future reliance on the state
The CentreForum suggestion to fund Dilnot's social care reforms by taking away the Winter Fuel Payment from any pensioners who do not qualify for means-tested pension credit may sound superficially attractive, but could actually worsen the care crisis in future.
Extending pensioner means-testing will mean fewer people saving and could even increase care funding costs in the long-run:
Yes, reforming social care is urgent, but taking away Winter Fuel Payments from millions of pensioners who are already struggling with their heating bills is not the solution.This would further penalise pensioners who set money aside for their retirement. Such a policy move may have short-term attractions, but it will not save much money and could even increase social care costs in the long-run, as fewer people feel it is worthwhile saving and, therefore, even more will need their care funded by the state
We need less means-testing, nor more, to make saving worthwhile:
Yes, it is true, we will have to find money to reform social care but tying Winter Fuel Payments to Pension Credit would be a disaster for millions of pensioners who saved hard all their lives and have a little extra retirement income as a result of their efforts. These pensioners, or those who refuse to claim, will be punished by the extension of means testing. We need less means testing – not more – in order to ensure that those who save for their future do not lose out heavily and to be certain that all those who need the money do receive it.
The Winter Fuel Payment is effectively part of the state pension:
The reason we have a separate Winter Fuel Payment is because past politicians had to make up for our inadequate state pension. The UK Basic State Pension is one of the lowest in the developed world. Rather than increasing the pension itself by a few pounds per week, the Government decided to announce a separate pensioner payment of a few hundred pounds per year, which made better headlines. So, taking these payments away would amount to a cut in the Basic State Pension for the millions of pensioners who managed to set aside more money for their retirement and did not want to just rely on the state!
Disincentive to save:
Taking money away from older people who have been prudent and provided for their own future, would be a further major disincentive to those hard-working people who have set money aside for retirement. It is likely to mean more people deciding not to bother to look after themselves, since they see colleagues who may have chosen not to bother setting aside sums for the future receiving far more than they do.
Can raise funds by taxing pensioner benefits or increasing age of entitlement, but principle of universality vital:
Extra revenue could be raised by taxing these payments (just as the state pension itself is taxed) and even by increasing the age of entitlement, but the principle of universality is vital to ensure the money gets to all pensioners and that saving for retirement is considered worthwhile.
Most pensioners are not on very high incomes:
Not many pensioners are on high incomes – only 2% of pensioners pay higher rate tax. Most older people are not living on high incomes so pensioner benefits and the state pension are of the utmost importance to millions of older people.
Many who need it won't get the money:
Take-up of pensioner credit is notoriously low, with many pensioners too proud to claim. It seems some would rather freeze than claim benefits. The need to means-test so many millions of older people would be cumbersome and costly and will add to complexity in the benefits system.
Really rich pensioners don't need state pensions either – will that be next?:
Of course, in theory, it makes little sense to pay money to wealthy pensioners who do not really need it, but then will the next step be to say that these pensioners don't need the rest of their state pension either?
Care crisis solution urgently needed:
There is no doubt that the cost of social care is one of the biggest issues facing this country and we need a fairer partnership between state help and individuals paying for some of their own care costs. But that means more incentives for care savings and self-reliance.
Taking away Winter Fuel Payments risks increasing illness or deaths among pensioners:
As energy bills reach record highs, taking away Winter Fuel Payments from pensioners who have modest incomes will risk many more older people unable to afford heating, suffering cold-related illnesses or even dying of cold. Every winter, over 20,000 pensioners die of cold in this country and these 'excess winter deaths' would increase if more pensioners were denied their Winter Fuel Payment.

Happy Humpday! I hope everyone had a wonderful July 4th, spending it with loved ones, friends and family. Today I turned another year older, I am now 37! Yup, 30+7!! I think my blog have grown so much in the past year and so have I. When I started blogging about fashion, I was feeling a little insecure having to "compete" with younger girls in their 20's, beautiful women in early 30's, I thought to myself "How can I, a mom of two compete with these girls?" But as I continue to find my voice, my confidence and owning my personal style, I find myself appreciating the fact that I am a little older, my age is my wisdom and sometimes even selling point.
I think as a blogger a lot of times we compare ourselves and our success with others, even though the bench mark is completely not leveled. Although it is difficult at times to not feel envious at a another blogger's collaboration with one of MY favorite brand, one that I have been dying to work with, I need to be realistic and telling myself that their demographics is different. I aim to work with brands who appreciate the ageless beauty as much as a well seasoned ones, brands that doesn't just look for surface value and work exclusively with younger bloggers, brands that appreciate my age and what I have to offer.
An important key is to appreciate your own aging beauty. Take care of your body, exercise regularly, do masks just as often, takecare of your skin, invest in luxury skincare products. I recently did a skin age analysis with SKII and my skin age is only 28!! More on that in another post. I attribute this to years of relentless skin regimen and hydrating masks to stop fine lines forming even before it starts. I now have luxury skin care brands looking to collaborate with me because they believe in me and my age (no one really buy an anti-aging product when they see a 20 year old promoting it, but on a 37 year old mom of two, it is a different story). Own your age, sell it like it is your greatest asset, don't compare to the younger models, they are them and you are you. Be yourself and be the best version of it.

One of the most prolific sires of winners in the nation since his first runners came to the races in 2010, SILVER TRAIN is tied for first by number of juvenile winners in 2012 in the Mid-Atlantic region. He got his 15th and lead-tying 16th 2-year-old winners the third week of December.
The Louisiana-bred colt Fiftyshadesofbay set all the fractions in winning a seven and a half-furlong maiden special at Delta Downs on Dec. 19 by three and three-quarter lengths. Two days later, West Virginia-bred filly Last Train drew off to win a maiden special by five lengths at seven furlongs.
The SILVER TRAIN runners make their way all around the world! His 2-year-old filly GUARAGUAU won the Gr.2 Gran Promesa at Hipodromo De Las Americas in Mexico, and on Dec. 15 finished third on the country's juvenile championship day in the Gr.1 Clasico Campeonato Juvenil. And his 2-year-olds have won all around the country—Belmont Park, Pimlico, Hollywood Park, Monmouth Park, Penn National, Calder, Woodbine, Evangeline Downs. . .
SILVER TRAIN had 24 juvenile winners when they first debuted in 2009—the second-most for a freshman sire in the nation that year. He was the leading second-crop sire by number of winners in 2011, with 78 worldwide. And he has broken the 100-mark by number of winners in 2012—that's fifth highest in the nation among third-crop sires!
With just three crops to race, SILVER TRAIN has sired more than 72 percent winners from starters and 20 stakes horses! Fast and reliable—SILVER TRAINs get to the winner's circle!

Joe is back with his post-game thoughts….
Yeah, this was a painful loss with plenty of blown opportunities (enough with the called third strikes with the bases loaded!), but it was damn good to see some old fashioned grit in the Rays again, battling back from two down in the ninth before Jim Thome drilled a Jake McGee fastball for an opposite field homer to beat the Rays 7-6.
What a beautiful thing it was to see a professional hitter put on the Tampa Bay uniform. It's so soothing to see a guy who can go with a pitch and adjust regularly in the count.Welcome back, Jeff Keppinger, who went 5-for-5, including a key hit in the ninth-inning comeback. Joe had flashbacks of Johnny Damon watching Keppinger today.
Joe's trying to be positive out of this one, and will ignore the plentiful negatives, particularly the painful Hedeki Matsui experiment — at the plate and in the field — and hopefully the Rays picked up at least a little confidence from the comeback.
J.P. Howell turning in a one-two-three sixth inning was a stunner, and maybe that offers a tingle of hope that he can resurrect his career. If nothing else, it means Rays fans are sure to see more of him soon. There's no way Joe Maddon won't look to build Howell's confidence off that outing.
If slam-the-remote-control losses can ever be tolerable, this one was.

Success in small business is all about relationships, and building trust with your clients is critical. As you grow, here are tips and best practices to keep in mind to continue to build trust with your existing and future customers:
Be Honest: This may seem obvious or straightforward, but it's the most important aspect of building trust. When something goes wrong, or a customer is unhappy, addressing issues honestly - and owning your part in the problem - can not only save but improve the customer relationship!
Communicate Often: Communicate regularly with your clients both directly and indirectly. Keeping your social media channels active and updated is a great way to let potential customers know what you're all about, and reinforce your existing relationships. Predictable and helpful email communication about your business, products/services, sales, and promotions lets your customers know you care about them!
Give Back: Volunteering and supporting local causes is a good way to build trust with both your customers and your community! When communicating with your clients always keep in mind what you can do for them. If your emails and social media feeds are full of sales/ads, clients won't trust that you have their best interest at heart.
Personalize: Marketing shouldn't be impersonal; whenever possible personalize your messages to your clients (and prospects) and do your homework! Communicate how your product/service can solve a problem for them or make their life simpler/easier.
Get Testimonials: Ask your loyal customers for testimonials, and post them on your website, social media page(s) and Google. Nothing builds trust with potential customers like positive reviews...!
Provide Top-Notch Customer Service: Make communicating with your company easy to do, and be responsive. Monitor your social media channels, as increasingly customers communicate with businesses through social media platforms. Check emails regularly and respond quickly. These days clients are more likely to use technology to communicate than to pick up the phone, so make sure your business is up-to-speed and prepared to respond to all types of customer inquiries.

Now I'm at the airport with time for my next to the last observation from Hanover: I spent some time with PROFIsafe expert Wolfgang Stripf in front of the PROFIsafe display. Here's the display:
It depicts an automotive example but applies to any dynamically changing process. The demo highlights safety functions in drives, dynamically reconfiguring a laser scanner, and integrating AS-I emergency stop buttons. Incidentally, the red square is a new type of camera-based "light curtain." If you look closely at it you can see a little guy in a hard hat sitting on top. When you place him on the moving car, the laser scanner recognizes that more than the car is passing through and executes a safety stop. (The laser scanner is the yellow and black box at the top of the panel.) The new drive safety functions show the different options for creating a safe situation. It used to be that your only choice was to remove power, but now you also have the ability to go to a safe speed, a safe position, and more. The emergency stop buttons across the bottom are on the AS-I bus but are brought into the safety system. It's hard to see in the photo but some of the devices are PROFIBUS devices and some are PROFINET.

Have you ever been to a wine tasting? Or maybe seen one on television? The winemaker holds up the glass of wine and talks about the qualities of the wine:
"…still quite tight with flavors that are so precise that they seem to etch themselves into your palate before joining with a seamless finish that I can still taste two months later…"
"…you can only hold onto your seat through this gustatory roller-coaster…"
You get the idea. While the descriptions above might make you laugh, a great wine is the result of hard work and dedication. Today's Time Well Spent from our friends at Kronos reminded me that management has the same demand of hard work and dedication as a fine wine.
Being a good manager doesn't happen overnight. It takes lots of practice. And desire. As a manager, we have to change our recipe for success every once in a while. Then we find exactly the right blend of tools and methods to go from being good to great.

Efforts are being intensified in the search for a Malaysia Airlines jet with 239 people on board which has been missing since Saturday.
Reports of an oil slick in the waters off the southern tip of Vietnam suggest the plane has crashed but sightings of debris remain unconfirmed.
What happened to flight MH 370 when it disappeared one hour into its journey from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing is still a mystery.
Director General of the Malaysia Civil Aviation Authority Dato Azharuddin Abdul Rahman described the extent of the search operation:
"Today, we have used a large number of assets, comprising of 34 aircraft, 40 ships, hundreds of men, thousands of man-hours has been deployed. And countries that assisted us include: Vietnam, China, Singapore, Indonesia USA, Thailand, Australia and the Philippines."

Active-duty soldiers have been called in to fight dozens of wildfires raging across the Western United States, the first time in nine years that such a step has been taken.
The National Interagency Fire Center announced Monday that 200 active-duty military troops are being called in to help. A spokesman for Fort Lewis (Wash.) confirmed that 10 crews of 20 soldiers from the 17th Field Artillery Brigade of the 7th Infantry Division would be sent. The spokesman said the crews would train on Aug. 19 and would likely ship out the next day.
It was not immediately clear where the crews would be sent, but they could be required at any number of fires in Washington state, Oregon, California, or Idaho.
On Monday, several large fires threatened the Lake Chelan resort region of central Washington, driving away tourists, destroying a warehouse filled with nearly 2 million pounds of apples and forcing thousands of residents to flee.
The fires have scorched more than 155 square miles and destroyed an estimated 75 homes and businesses Friday and Saturday, officials said. Scores of homes remain threatened, and mandatory evacuation orders remained in effect for more than 2,900 people in the Chelan area.
The blazes about 180 miles east of Seattle are burning through grass, brush and timber, fire spokeswoman Janet Pearce said. The uncontained fires were being battled by more than 900 firefighters, she said.
"Today our focus is on structure protection," she said Monday.
Air tankers established lines to keep the flames from reaching downtown Chelan, fire officials said.
The flames come in the midst of the summer tourist season in the scenic town located along Lake Chelan in the Cascade Range.
But lots of tourists left Chelan after the fires broke out on Friday, said Mike Steele, director of the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce. It's too early to determine the economic impact, but Steele said it would be significant.
"We're working hard to get our feet back on the ground," Steele said, noting that many of the people who would serve tourists have either had to leave or lost homes.
"We'll be welcoming visitors back here very shortly," Steele said. "That's our goal."
The fires also threaten apple orchards and packing warehouses in the heart of the state's apple belt during what has been a summer of drought in the Northwest.
Chelan Fruit lost one of its major fruit-packing warehouses in Chelan to wildfire on Friday. The warehouse contained 1.8 million pounds of apples and employed about 800 people, said Mac Riggan, director of marketing for the company.
The employees are being sent to Chelan Fruit's other facilities in the region, Riggan said. "Our other plant in Chelan is fully operational," he said.
Washington is by far the nation's largest apple producer, and the industry produced more than 140 million cartons of apples last year, of which perhaps 6 million remain in warehouses, Riggan said.
"It's not a major loss to the industry," Riggan said. "It is to us."
Washington farmers grossed about $2 billion from the apple crop last year, and late-season apples tend to sell at a discount as buyers are waiting for new fruit, he said.
The air was clouded with smoke in Spokane, about 150 miles east of the Chelan fire, on Monday. Air quality was expected to remain in the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" range for at least the next couple of days because of the Chelan fire and other fires, according to the Spokane Regional Health District, which serves the metropolitan area of nearly 500,000 people.
"Smoke from wildfires is especially harmful for those with health conditions like asthma. We recommend that people who are sensitive to poor air quality limit their time outdoors," said Dr. Joel McCullough, the local health officer.
Meanwhile, the Washington National Guard joined the firefighting efforts in the state after a request for assistance from the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
Two Black Hawk helicopters arrived Friday, and five 20-person hand crews arrived Sunday evening to join 350 firefighters battling one of the state's most active fires, Cougar Creek, on the southeastern slopes of Mount Adams.
"The Guard's help now is vital," said Mary Verner, Washington state DNR's deputy for wildfire.
"We've been expecting another devastating wildfire season, and have had our personnel and equipment ready so we can get them out the door the moment we're asked for help," said Maj. Gen. Bret Daugherty, commander of the Washington National Guard.
Elsewhere, more than 40 homes were lost near the town of Kamiah in northern Idaho, and in Oregon a lightning-sparked blaze on the Malheur National Forest has grown to more than 60 square miles and has destroyed at least 26 homes.
In Idaho, more than 700 firefighters along with 40 fire engines and four helicopters were trying to protect homes from flames. But residents along an 11-mile section of U.S. Highway 12 were told to be ready to flee.
On the Idaho-Oregon border, about 800 firefighters had a 443-square-mile wildfire 70 percent contained. However, fire officials warned that strong winds and low humidity, which can cause extreme fire activity, were likely to hit southern Idaho throughout most of Monday. The week-old fire has scorched grassland needed for cattle and primary habitat for sage grouse, a bird under consideration for federal protections.
Better weather helped firefighters battling wildfires in eastern Oregon. Though the fires are far from contained, higher humidity and lighter winds slowed the spread of the flames Sunday.
--The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The AFS Support Volunteers works with four basic AFS relationships: the participant's relationship with the new culture, with the host family, with the natural family and the participant's understanding of him or herself. The most effective way that a support volunteer can assist these relationships is by fostering effective communication.
The Support Volunteer, by providing the skills for effective communication within AFS circles, also provides him or herself with effective skills for life. Listening and interviewing skills—both able to be learned—can be utilized in your family, your job, and your community. The more you use them, the keener and more developed they become.
In order to improve one's skills in communicating, it helps to understand your cultural influences and values.
A person's values:
- are colored by personal and national cultures,
- shape one's view of the world,
- determine how one communicates with others, and
- might conflict with the values of another culture.
In understanding and recognizing your own cultural bias, you begin to prepare for a cross-cultural experience and are able to relate more effectively with AFS participants.
Important concepts:
- Each "culture" includes a closely-knit pattern of assumptions, behaviors, values, and practices that works for the people who share it. Every cultural system has an impact on its people in determining how the world is perceived, how the "self" is experienced, and how life is organized within that culture. The perceptions you carry are as specific and unique as your fingerprints.
- We communicate verbally and non-verbally. How we process our communication varies with our cultural heritage: Some cultures use an entirely different system of logic while others recognize experiences for which another's language provides no equivalent. Our language organizes our thoughts.
- A third of all non-verbal communication is based on the tone of our voices; over half is based on our facial expressions. It is necessary for us to be aware of our own behaviors and of how others read us because our mannerisms function just as strongly as the spoken word and may convey meanings quite contrary to what we are saying.
- In order to be an effective support to AFS participants, you must understand how you view the world, as well as the background of the participants. How they relate to you is colored by who they are. Since an AFS volunteer cannot expect the participant or family to be completely aware of their own assumptions in communicating, the volunteer must try to learn to speak from both sides of the issue.
In working with a participant, the volunteer can consider whether the participant is from a society that is more "individualist" or "collectivist" and whether this is a factor in their communication norms.
Individualist Cultures
The five most strongly individualist cultures in the world are located in the United States, Australia, Great Britain, Canada, and the Netherlands; other Northern European countries rank high on this scale as well. These cultures highly value the following characteristics:
- self-reliance
- equality
- freedom
- personal goals
- personal enjoyment
- free choice of groups to which to be loyal
Individualist cultures also tend to view time as immediate and the future as something foreseeable.
Collectivist Cultures
More than two thirds of the world's population—70 percent—belong to collectivist cultures. The most strongly collectivist societies include those of Venezuela, Colombia, Pakistan, Peru, and Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Turkey, Greece, Portugal and most other cultures in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America are highly collectivist as well. These cultures emphasize and value:
- loyalty to a specific group and distrust of those in other groups
- self-discipline
- honoring parents and elders
- self-effacement
- accepting one's position in life
- preserving one's public image for the sake of the group
These cultures operate in a vastly different time frame than individualist cultures in that their time frame encompasses generations and even centuries. It can be said that culture and communication are two sides of the same coin: Both are systems that operate to enable human beings to establish and maintain relationships with one another.
- The AFS Support Volunteer takes this entire overview into account when attempting effective communication. In doing so, the support volunteer works against his innate ethnocentrism. We are all ethnocentric in varying degrees, sharing the view that one's own culture sets the standards by which all others are measured.
- When left unrecognized, ethnocentrism prevents us from appreciating and understanding another culture on its own terms. Recognizing ethnocentrism makes it necessary for us to observe without evaluating, to suspend judgment in order to understand, and to be patient in our dealings with others.
