ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet on Thursday approved in principle recommendations of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) reforms committee, which includes the merger of the tribal areas with Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and repeal of the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR).
Chairing the cabinet, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the people of Fata, Gilgit Baltistan (G-B) and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) will be given their due rights.
Federal cabinet takes up FATA reforms today
"The cabinet accords in principle approval to the recommendations of the Fata reforms committee." PM House said in a statement. K-P Governor Iqbal Zafar Jhagra was also in attendance.
Speaking on the occasion, PM Nawaz stressed the need to focus on the development of under-developed areas to improve the living standards of the people.
The meeting was told that the process of mainstreaming of Fata will be carried out in a time span of five years.
Later, committee's chairman, adviser on foreign affairs Sartaj Aziz told journalists that necessary amendments will be made in the constitution to enable people of Fata elect their representatives to K-P assembly for the general elections in 2018.
FCR, he added, would be repealed and replaced with a new Rawaj system as per the recommendations.
The recommendations include setting a schedule for the repatriation of all temporarily displaced persons (TDPs) by April 30 this year, while the reconstruction in the areas would be completed by 2018.
The much talked about, but equally delayed, Fata reforms package was pulled out at the 11th hour from the cabinet's meeting on February 7, 2017, eliciting widespread criticism of lawmakers of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).
The same thing happened on December 16, 2016, when the cabinet deferred the passage of reforms package for Fata on the grounds that a broader consensus was needed. The broader consensus consisted of taking two of the government's allies into confidence.
The two political allies of the government – Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F) and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party (PkMAP) – voiced their concerns since day one. JUI-F's chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman recently addressed a public gathering stating that his party was in favour of mainstreaming Fata but not its merger with K-P. Rehman later softened his stance about holding referendum in Fata by stating, "Let people of Fata decide their fate instead of outsiders."

Simple and delicious.
I like using Raisin Bread, but any other breads can be used- from High Protein to Gluten Free.
Make ahead for a special breakfast and let the egg soak int ot the bread.
You can also make a lower fat version by using back bacon, layered on the bottom, and leaving off the topping, and using skim milk, or almond milk.
|12 oz
|strips of bacon, grilled to be semi crisp
|x-large eggs
|1/3 cup
|milk or half and half
|1/3 cup
|white sugar
|1 tsp
|cinnamon ( liquid if available)
|1/2 tsp
|Slice of your favorite Dempsters bread
|1/2 cup
|Brown Sugar
|1 tbsp
|1 tsp
|1/4 cup
Spray or grease a 13 X 9 " Baking Pan.
Grill or microwave bacon until semi-crisp, and set on paper towels to drain.
In a mixing bowl, mix eggs, milk, sugar , vanilla, cinnamon with a mixer until slightly frothy. Set aside.
Slice bread diagonally.
In baking pan, criss cross bacon strips.
Place bread on top.
Pour egg mixture over, cover pan, and set aside for 1/2 hour. This can also be placed in fridge, and left overnight
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350,
If using optional topping, mix brown sugar , vanilla and cinnamon. Grate butter into, and combine until mixture is crumbly ( frozen butter is easier to do this with)
Sprinkle over top in a random pattern.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, checking for the donenes syou prefer.
Serve with warm maple syrup,.
Varyby using differnt breads- from whole wheat to gluten free, and everything in between.
It's hard to mes sup this recipe.
You can use Canadian back bacon for a lower fat version, eand egg whites instead of whole eggs for a lower cholesteral version as well.
For a special presentation, try adding a soft-poached egg on top, sprinkled with bacon bits.

S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. (commonly referred to as S. C. Johnson) is an American multinational privately held manufacturer of household cleaning supplies and other consumer chemicals based in Racine, Wisconsin.[2] In 2017, S. C. Johnson employed approximately 13,000 people and had estimated sales of $10 billion.[3] The company is owned by the Johnson family. H. Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO since 2004, is the fifth generation of the Johnson family to lead the company.[4]
The company is one of the oldest family-owned businesses in the U.S,[5] beginning in 1886 when Samuel Curtis Johnson purchased the parquet flooring division from the Racine Hardware Manufacturing Company and named the new business S. C. Johnson. The company's principal product at that time was parquet flooring, later adding other floor care products like Johnson's Prepared Wax, Johnson's Dance Wax and Johnson's Wood Dye.[6]
Under Herbert Fisk Johnson Sr., the company expanded worldwide, establishing its first subsidiary in the United Kingdom in 1914.[7] Giving his employees credit for a successful year, Herbert gave them $35,000 in 1917.[8][9] In 1932, SC Johnson introduced Johnson's Glo-Coat.[10] The success of Glo-Coat bolstered the company during the Great Depression.[11] S. C. Johnson's line of wax-reliant products necessitated Herbert Fisk Johnson Jr.'s 1935 expedition to Fortaleza, Brazil to find a direct sustainable source of wax.[12]
From April 1935 until May 1950, the company was the sponsor for the Fibber McGee and Molly radio show, officially known as The Johnson Wax Program.[13] During the 1950s, the company served as sponsor of the game show, The Name's the Same.[14] The company went on to co-sponsor Robert Montgomery Presents on NBC, and The Red Skelton Show on CBS.[15]
In April of 1939, the Frank Lloyd Wright–designed SC Johnson Administration Building opened.[16] Its addition, the Research Tower, opened in 1950.[17] The SC Johnson Headquarters was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974.[18]
The launch of Raid House & Garden Bug Killer in 1955 marked the company's first major departure away from wax-based products.[19] Within the next few years, Sam Johnson, fourth generation leader, introduced some of the company's best known: Glade, OFF! and Pledge.[20]
In April 2018, the company updated its tagline from "A Family Company", which began in 1998, to "A Family Company at Work for a Better World". According to the company, the updated tagline is "A reminder that SC Johnson holds itself to a higher standard."[21]
Acquisition milestones[edit]
- In 1992, the company bought Drackett, manufacturer of Windex, Drāno and other specialty cleaning products.[22]
- In 1998, S. C. Johnson expanded its roster of consumer brands when it purchased Dow Chemical's DowBrands division, which included Ziploc, Saran, Fantastik, and Scrubbing Bubbles.[23]
- In 1999, the commercial cleaning products and systems division separated from Johnson Wax and became a stand-alone company called Johnson Wax Professional, later known as Diversey, Inc.[24]
- In 2003, the company acquired the three Bayer brands Baygon, Bay Fresh, and Autan.
- In 2008 the company acquired Caldrea, Co., maker of household cleaning products including the Caldrea and Mrs. Meyers Clean Day brands.[25]
- S. C. Johnson acquired Deb Group in 2015. A year later the company announced a new line of SC Johnson Professional products at the ISSA/INTERCLEAN conference in Chicago.[26]
- In July 2016 the company signed an agreement to acquire Babyganics, a baby products company with skin care, oral care, sun care, insect repellent, diapers and wipe products.[27]
- In 2017 the company signed an agreement to acquire cleaning brands Method and Ecover.[28]
The company launched a website listing ingredients for their products sold in North America in 2009.[29] Fragrance ingredients were added to the list in 2012.[30] The company added the ingredients of its European products to the list in May 2016.[31] In May 2017, SC Johnson disclosed a list of 368 potential skin allergens in its products.[32]

Environmental record[edit]
S. C. Johnson & Son's Greenlist process is a classification system that evaluates the effects of raw materials on human health and the environment. The Greenlist logo represents an internal ratings system to help customers identify which products are environmentally safe. The Greenlist label is present in many S. C. Johnson & Son products. The Greenlist process has resulted in the elimination of 1.8 million pounds of volatile organic compounds from Windex, and four million pounds of polyvinylidene chloride from Saran Wrap.[35]
In 2011, S. C. Johnson & Son settled a lawsuit that alleged the company's Greenlist label misled consumers into believing the products were reviewed by a third party and given a seal of approval. The company agreed to an undisclosed sum and dropped the labeling of Greenlist on Windex.[36]
S. C. Johnson & Son is the main sponsor of the Serra das Almas Private Natural Heritage Reserve in the states of Ceará and Piauí, Brazil. The reserve protects an area of the caatinga biome, including wild specimens of the carnauba palm tree (Copernicia prunifera), the source of carnauba wax.[37]
On December 18, 2012, S. C. Johnson & Son began operation of two wind turbines at their largest manufacturing facility in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. The turbines, in addition to the gas reclamation system in place at a nearby landfill, are estimated to produce enough electricity to completely power the facility.[38]
In 2017 S. C. Johnson purchased the ecological product Ecover and Method brands on undisclosed terms.[33]
A RICO lawsuit by tax whistleblower Mike DeGuelle alleges that since 1997, S. C. Johnson & Son has taken advantage of audit errors and filed fraudulent tax returns, underpaying its taxes by millions of dollars.[39] H. Fisk Johnson ordered an inquiry into the allegations, and told Tax Analysts that he learned "other details of the decisions they (the tax department) made that I didn't like. I didn't like what I heard." On December 15, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, in Case No. 10-2172, ruled that DeGuelle had alleged a valid claim that the company's discharge of him was part of the tax fraud scheme.[40] DeGuelle's claim was reviewed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin with the Court ruling to dismiss the RICO lawsuit on the grounds of preclusion.[41] The Court did not rule on SC Johnson's actions as they pertain to tax evasion, with Judge Stadtmueller stating that "the legality of SC Johnson's actions (and whether those actions did, in fact, occur) is of no importance to the Court's consideration of the defendant's motion for summary judgment."[40] The Wisconsin Court of Appeals reviewed DeGuelle's case and affirmed an earlier ruling of the Racine County Circuit Court in favor of SC Johnson for defamation related to Deguelle's claims of tax evasion and breach of a confidentiality agreement.[42][43]
S. C. Johnson & Son was fined by Autorité de la concurrence in France in 2016 for price-fixing on personal hygiene products.[44]

THIS season, Marc Jacobs made us rethink everything we thought we knew about contouring to highlight our features.
Kim Kardashian brought contouring into the mainstream and last season saw the rise of strobing using highlighter, but now the fashion designer has introduced draping: the technique of using two tones of blusher under cheekbones to create a fresh, sculpted look.
Unlike the previous trends (how many brushes does a girl need to contour?!), draping couldn't be easier.
In three fool-proof steps, you can achieve some perfectly 'draped' cheek bones.
All you need is a simple blush palette, a blusher brush and your signature red lippy.
Step One
By sucking in your cheeks, you create an easily visible guide to apply a darker blush under your cheek bones.
For those amongst us whose bone structure is a little harder to find (you chiseled types don't know how lucky you are), the pouting movement makes your cheek bones a little more visible.
You can start to see how this comes off the back of contouring right...
Step Two
Take the lighter blusher onto a brush and build it up on top of the previous application.
This lighter shade eradicates any harsh lines and contrasts that occur easily when significantly darker shades are used on the face.
Taking the lighter blush up in the hairline ensures your look is as blended and natural as possible.
Step Three
Despite all of these shades and techniques that crop up every season, we can't help but note that nothing is as complex as applying a perfect red lip.
Lining your lips first not only creates definition and a precise shape but also keeps your lips looking lush for longer.
This natural look showcases a fresh colour on the cheeks that sits perfectly against an elegant red lip.
With a coat of mascara and a lick of liner, you are good to go.
Thank you Mr Jacobs for providing a contouring-alternative for those amongst us with a little less time of our hands.
If this isn't quite out there enough for you, take a look at some of this season's more daring make-up looks from graphic eyeliner to rainbow shadows.

Homemade Granola from an Empty Pantry
October 3, 2013Posted by on
Think the cupboard is empty? It's amazing what you can make when you really look around the kitchen. You can make something out of nothing. Here's what I do when I want granola: Granola is one of the most expensive over-rated items on the grocery store shelf. Do you know how easy it is to make? So easy, really. And the variations are endless. The only two things you must have are oats and oil—peanut or canola oil is best.
My grandfather used to make his own granola with these basic pedestrian ingredients, but you can swap out the peanuts for almonds or the raisins for cranberries, or any other chopped nut or dried fruit, depending on how fancy you want to get, or what you happen to have on the shelves or in your nearly empty pantry. Put it on yogurt, eat with your favorite cereal and dairy or dairy substitute or heat it up to make fancier oatmeal. Plus, when you make it, you get the added benefit of having your house smell all toasty and cozy when it's cold outside.
Here's my Grandpa Alden's list of ingredients for granola:
4 cups old-fashioned oats
1 ½ cups coarsely chopped peanuts
1 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup wheat germ
½ cup bran
3 ½ ounces flaked coconut
½ cup peanut oil
½ cup honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
As you can see, the ingredients are cheap and healthy, though not for the peanut allergenic. I made this recipe for my family, and my husband thought the peanuts were weird, because he has a somewhat European sense of breakfast food. I don't particularly like flaked coconut, either—it's a texture thing. We also happened to have a rather large amount of flax meal, leftover from a pumpkin pie recipe gone terribly wrong.
So here's what I did to make my own granola recipe:
4 cups oats
1 cup chopped almonds (to replace the peanuts, though they do cost a bit more)
1 cup flax meal
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ cup canola oil (to replace the peanut oil, since that's what we've got)
¼ cup honey
¼ cup maple syrup (to replace ½ the honey, because we were poor in honey but rich in syrup)
½ t. vanilla extract
1 cup chopped dried apricots
As you can see, any nut or dried fruit can be swapped out, you can add any number of lovely fall spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves) to the dry ingredients and the ½ cup of honey can be traded for any sort of sweet, sticky medium—agave, maple syrup or any combination of what you've got, provided it doesn't get too weird. The flax meal or bran could be any combination of these or some other roast-able ingredient to add a bit of flavor, health and digestibility.
Once you've got your ingredients all decided on (I always pull everything out and put it on our tiny acreage of counter before I begin, that way I don't discover that I'm missing something halfway through the process) here's how you'll mix it up:
Combine oats, nuts, flax meal (wheat germ, bran, etc.) and coconut (if you like it and have it) and spices (if you choose) in a large bowl. Heat oil, honey (or other sticky stuff to equal ½ cup) and vanilla to just below boiling—you'll start to see bubbles form on the bottom of the pan, when you do, take it off the heat.
Pour your sticky stuff over the oat mixture and toss/stir it all to coat the oats and stuff thoroughly. Spread it all evenly into two (or three) roasting pans (in my Grandpa's recipe they call them 'jelly roll' pans, which just make me think of Leadbelly songs… but I digress).
Roast it all for 30 minutes in the oven at 300 degrees, stirring it up every 10 minutes to have it cook evenly, or until it's a light brown (or a little darker as I prefer, or if I'm in the middle of changing diapers and forget to take it out in time). Remove from the oven and let it cool, then stir in the dried fruit.
Voila—your very own homemade granola!

The following analysis of the personal financial disclosures of Monica Wehby and Jeff Merkley was done for the Oregonian newspaper. The story by Jeff Mapes resulting from the analysis can be accessed here: Senate Candidates Financial Disclosure- Part I Also note that the analysis was updated after Wehby disclosed her final statement on August 15, after requesting two extensions. See Senate Candidates Financial Disclosure – Part II. The only substantive difference from the previous disclosure was the investment in a biopharmaceutical company in which Stimson Lumber CEO Andrew Miller serves as a board member. It was Miller who contacted the police and filed a restraining order against Wehby after their relationship ended.
The purpose of this analysis was to provide an impartial financial review of both Wehby and Merkely's personal financial disclosure statements, the findings of which were the basis for the story in the Oregonian.

Russell Wilson congratulates Peyton Manning with letter
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson congratulated Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning on his career with a letter posted on The Players Tribune on Monday.
The Players Tribune senior editor reflected on Manning's career before crediting the two-time Super Bowl champion for inspiring him at Manning's quarterback camp as a teenager.
"You inspired the kid in the green shirt," Wilson wrote. "You inspired me to work hard. To be disciplined. To be respectful. To take notes. You inspired me to love the process. To love the sweat. To love the tears. But most of all … You inspired me to love the game."
• Peyton Manning's children join him for post-Super Bowl interview
Manning completed 13 of his 23 pass attempts for 141 yards and threw an interception as the Broncos defeated the Panthers 24–10 in Super Bowl 50. When asked about his potential retirement, Manning emphasized his plans to spend time with his family and figure it out later after enjoying the Super Bowl moment.
Manning is now the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl and the first to win two Super Bowls with two different teams.

One of the more unusual events at York Food Festival, the Gurkha Curry Night returns for 2013!
The event will take place on September 23rd at 7.30pm.
This event also has the added benefit that you can claim you're eating for charity with £10 of the price of each ticket going to SSAFA (The Soldier, Sailor, Airmen and Families Association).
The Gurkha Curry Night takes place in York's Guildhall and gives you the chance to sample authentic Gurkha curries cooked by Army chefs using traditional recipes.
With a starter of poppadum and dip, a selection of curries with rice and naan and fresh fruit for dessert it sounds like a good bet to me for any curry fan.
Tickets are on sale now over at York Food Festival's website for £22.

View from the Tower View Room at Westin Hotel, Kuala Lumpur by Ahazan
Hello Bloggers! Did you miss me? Holidays are always Great but nothing beats the feeling of coming home to your very own abode! The sweet smell of Lemongrass and Ylang Ylang filled my nostrills as I entered our home, my shoulders relaxed as I gazed at the tranquility that I left behind some weeks back. It sure is Good to be home, to finally be in my own bed, to sprawl luxuriously on my lounge. I love to be in a state of 'awareness' like this because I can genuinely appreciate and be grateful for all that God has so lovingly provided for me. Sure, I thank God everyday for all this but so often this prayer is a mere 'template' I use. Feeling authentic about yourself is I really beautiful and humbling, my Friends!
I must really remind myself (and Ming) not to lug our laptops with us when we travel in future! (we would have more hands to carry more Valhrona Chocolate, Vanilla Beans and other baking-associated stuff!) Internet access for us was next to zero and I was so looking forward to keeping you updated. Either that or the speed was sooooooooooooooo SLOW! So, as I'm sure you've already guessed, we gave up after the first few days. I apologize for not answering your emails and not coming by your blogs to say 'thank you' for your comments. I hope this post (and the next/final installment) featuring 'snippets' of our Holiday and the photos will be a worthy peace offering.
Chloe and Paige at the 'Curve'
This Vacation like a lot of my other vacations are all about Food and Shopping, so you won't see many scenic photos at all. A heap of Happy moments captured is what I can promise you though. One of our first stops in Kuala Lumpur was the 'Curve', a trendy shopping district with yummy food haunts. One particular 'quirky' cafe we visited was 'The Apartment' - What drew us to it was that it looked like the inside of a cosy little apartment with a loft. We headed straight for a Day Bed in a corner, took our shoes off and huddled together like we often do at home. After a while, I realized we had become a 'spectacle'- everyone that passed by the cafe had stopped and looked in at us, some smiling, laughing and pointing and some even looked at us in amazement. We felt a little strange at first, like we were animals in a zoo. But being 'us', we just continued with what we were doing with our "who cares?" attitude.

Having a bit of fun..
One of the best things that have come out of blogging for me are the nice people that I've had the pleasure of getting to know, and on this trip, I got to meet some of them for the first time - Jackson Kah of 'Living in Food Heaven', Sunny Yaw and Sidney Kan of 'Big Boys Oven and last but not least, Chong Kok Wai , of 'Young Patissier Journey' who is known by his very witty blog persona 'Bread Pitt'. We met at Jackson's cosy new establishment, 'Pick and Brew' at One Utama. Jackson's blog is a comprehensive journal of his food reviews, done locally as well as on his travels and is an invaluable source of reference for anyone who loves food. Sunny Yaw is the ever-creative half of the Big Boy's partnership, always coming up with Dreamy cakes and desserts while Sidney Kan is the editor and mastermind behind Big Boys Oven. Chong Kok Wai, with his boyish good looks on the other hand, is a Junior Patissier at a local Five Star Hotel. His passion and artistry reflects in his creations even at this tender age - I dare say his success in this industry is imminent.

Miyako Japanese Restaurant at the Sheraton Subang
Oh, Did I mention that Sidney is a free lance food reviewer for Foodstreet? We were his guests at a Food Tasting /Review at the Miyako Japanese Restaurant at the Sheraton Subang. The evening was superb - we received such a warm greeting from Datin Jasmine Abdullah Heng, the General Manager of the Sheraton. We had a brief conversation but I will never forget those warm twinkling eyes of hers. Her staff were just as cordial. We had the privilege of the company of Bel Shem Wei, the Public Relations Executive and Farhana Tan, the Food and Beverage Coordinator all through the Food Tasting. The food was delicious and fresh-tasting and I would definitely recommend Miyako for a memorable meal. At the end of the evening, we had a chat to the Assistant Japanese Chef, Ronnie Wong who prepared our food.

Garra Rufa Fish Therapy
Have you ever heard about Fish Therapy? It's the newest 'thing' that's come to Kuala Lumpur. Sitting at a cafe one afternoon, I actually overheard some ladies talking about their experience, something about a spa where you put your feet in and little tiny fish nibble on them. Before I could tell Ming about what I heard, he hands me a brochure for Garra Rufa Fish Therapy! Being the curious people that we are, we decided to check it out. Ming was quite excited about the idea of fish nibbling on his feet, and I must say that he was the driving force for this family adventure. I must admit I wasn't very keen but went along just to be a good sport and to see what it was all about. Chloe needed a little coaxing but finally agreed. Paige on the other hand, well.. we practically had to drag her yelling and screaming!
The Garra Rufa species of fish, as I learned, originated from the Middle East over a century ago and was used as an alternative treatment for skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. What happens is, the fish consumes dead areas of the skin whilst releasing healing enzymes, leaving healthy skin to grow. You don't have to have one of these skin conditions to experience this treatment, it's just a novel and fun way to pamper yourself while exfoliating dead skin at the same time.
The friendly staff at the Reception Area
Chloe and Paige cleaning their feet. They get you to do this before you immerse your feet into the warm pool
Ming looks like he's enjoying the experience. Can you see the Garra Rufa Fish? They're also known as 'Doctor Fish'
Here's a closer look. What do you think?
Chloe about to dip her feet. As you can see, this place has a pleasing and relaxing ambience
Paige - a little apprehensive
We paid for 30 minute sessions and 20 minutes down the track Paige is still deciding if she will dip her feet! Chloe doesn't look too impressed with her sister
Finally! It Looks like (both) the girls are having fun!
And we're ready to leave. It sure was a relaxing 30 minutes! You should definitely give it a go!

Earlier on this post I mentioned one of the best things that came out of blogging, well, here's another! - About a month before I went on this Holiday, I got an e-mail from a childhood friend of mine, Jackie Rajoo who I had not seen since the age of 16 and whom I had lost contact with! Isn't it AMAZING? Jackie was looking for a macaron recipe on the internet when she came across my blog and saw photos of me. So, we met up for dinner one evening and talked about old times.. It was really fun reminiscing and catching up on the last 20 years or so!
Purple Cane Tea Restaurant - This was the place where we had dinner with Jackie. All the dishes are prepared with tea in some way or other. How cool is that?
Eating and 'yakking' at the same time..

I can't do without this ever! Rice! The food here was light on the pallette, really refreshing and comforting too. I like the concept of using tea in the food..

This is what we came here for - the Tiramisu! It's quite different from the classic Tiramisu, this one is loaded with almond praline chunks on top and is served with raspberry coulis. This is one of the best cakes I've tasted in a long,long time.
The Rich and moist chocolate cake was good too..
The 'White Forest'- This was delicious as well, white chocolate and blueberries

One of our favorite cuisines is Korean and there's this area in Ampang that has a 'Little Korea' where all the Businesses be it Restaurants, Hair Salons, Supermarkets, Boutiques or Bakeries are owned and operated by Koreans. My Cousin Chelsea took us to Lunch at 'KangSane Restaurant' the last trip we were in KL (January 2007) - the food was so good we decided to go there again this trip. Chelsea has been such a gem to us, taking time out to drive us around especially when Ming is not familiar with the area that we want to go to.

Another Restaurant that Chelsea took us to was a Tim Sum place called the 'Oriental Pavilion' . This is a very popular place for Tim Sum but I reckon the Tim Sum we had the last trip at 'Luk Yue Teahouse' in Starhill Gallery was by far tastier and more refined.

We spent a lot of time window-shopping during the course of this trip, my favorite places being the Mid-Valley Mall and Bangsar Village. In the last few years, flea markets have become popular in KL too, but since they're only open on weekends, we only managed to visit two, the one at the 'Curve' and the one at 'Mont Kiara'.

Before I leave this post I just want to say how happy I was to have the opportunity to meet my fellow food bloggers and am so grateful for their Hospitality - I had the pleasure of being a guest at The Big Boys Oven' 'De Rouleau Demonstration Class'. Sunny Yaw is an excellent Baking Instuctor and being present in his class gave me an insight of how I might run my own classes in the near future. I'm also thankful to Kok Wai for taking my family and I Pastry shop 'hunting' on his day off. Thanks also go out to Jade of 'Smorgasbord of Delights who gave me an award when I was on Holiday.

Dear Readers,
This Blog almost vanished into cyberspace while I was experimenting with new templates two days ago! Fortunately, my archives are still intact, but I had lost everything else that was previously on my sidebar,eg. my important links, award badges, BabelFish translator etc. Please be patient with me while I try to get everything back the way it used to be. So, bloggers, I've learned a very important lesson from this, and that is to BACK UP my blog!! Looks like I'll be a very busy girl! Thanks for your support.. Carol

For more than 30 years, New Hope has taught students ABC's & 123's with a Christ centered focus.
For the last 2 years New Hope's enrollment has steadily increased. The enrollment has grown so much that two years ago New Hope expanded into a second building for kindergarten, which is known to the students as New Hope North. In actuality, New Hope North is really Apfel Funeral Home located just north of the current school.
Another challenge New Hope faces is the lack of indoor gym and activity space. The current New Hope building is several blocks from the Baptist Church and Cairo Community Center which offer their facilities for use to New Hope. In poor weather students must recess, lunch, conduct PE, music, and every other activity at their desks. It is simply not feasible to leave the confines of the current building to poor weather to travel to other facilities.
The New Hope Board recognizes that no matter how resourceful and resilient their students are the problem is simply a lack of space. New Hope will embark on the building of a new facility to accommodate their current enrollment and allow for expansion for an enrollment of up to 75 children. To fund the build, New Hope School is launching its, "Building Hope" Campaign. You can participate in the Building Hope Campaign with your donation during "Go Big Give."

The first half of their concert pays tribute to the music created by the 1950s American Rock n' Roll pioneers - which by 1960 had become a distant memory but became the inspiration for the next wave of young rock bands from Britain. The second half then pays tribute to the 1964 British Invasion bands that re-recorded the forgotten 1950s American rock music – along with lesser known early 1960s rhythm & blues songs, recorded their own original songs and pulled Rock n' Roll from the edge of extinction by re-inventing and re-energizing it for a new generation.
You'll learn rock history and be thoroughly entertained with their chronological song sequence, stories behind the music and vintage wardrobe changes. Their repertoire consists of show-stopping renditions of early hits by Jerry Lee Lewis (Great balls of fire), Chuck Berry (Johnny B. Goode), Eddie Cochran (Summertime blues), Buddy Holly (That'll be theday), The Beatles (Twist & shout), The Rolling Stones (Satisfaction), The Kinks (You really got me), The Dave Clark Five(Glad all over) and more!
It's not "moldy oldies"- it's "old-school cool!" So hop aboard our virtual tour bus and fasten your seatbelts for an exciting MAGICAL HISTORY TOUR!?Formed: June 2003 Home base: Chicago, Illinois
Kevin Giragosian – vocals, guitar, harmonica - Kevin has been a prominent figure on the Chicago live music circuit for over 20 years. His original recordings, with his former power-pop band THE WOMBATS, have been aired on various Chicago area commercial and college radio stations including WXRT and Q101. His love of vocal harmony, early-American rockabilly artists and British Invasion bands brought him to create this unique and powerful musical act. As a vocalist he is extremely versatile and equally effective singing either lead or backing harmony. His signature "electrified" acoustic guitar sound he developed for the act has also become a highlight and integral part of their sound. In addition to being a talented vocalist and guitarist, on stage Kevin fronts the band - assuming the role as the "virtual tour director." By sprinkling the show with insightful bits of music trivia and history between songs, he adds more meaning and relevance to the music - giving concerts goers a new-found appreciation for songs and artists they've long been familiar with. These narrative footnotes add yet another unique facet to their one of a kind act. Kevin's energy, showmanship, personality, strong vocals & aggressive guitar playing make him one of the most engaging and entertaining front men on the live circuit today - at the helm of one of the most potent and talented true rock n' roll bands around.
Kegham Giragosian – drums, vocals - Keg started his musical career in the early 1990s as the drummer and harmony vocalist for brother Kevin's former band The Wombats. As the drummer for The Neverly Brothers, he has developed his own unique, energetic and visually entertaining playing style. He stands, not sits, behind a minimalist drum kit - consisting of only a bass drum and a snare drum – and swings his arms in windmill circles beating the snare drum with brushes - not sticks. Although it may look unorthodox, he lays down a solid beat and driving rhythm more powerful than most drummers using conventional 4 and 5 piece kits. Keg is also a strong vocalist who sings lead on a number of songs. But his true vocal assets lie in his vocal harmonies and engaging counter melodies. When Kevin & Kegham sing those sweet two-part vocal harmonies, a la The Everly Brothers or John Lennon & Paul McCartney, you'll find yourself saying: "Only brothers could harmonize like that!" His intuitive vocal sensibilities and unique and animated drumming style make Keg an integral part of the signature "Neverly" look and sound.
Mike Bradburn - upright bass fiddle, background vocals – Mike has been a long-time veteran of the Chicago music scene for over 25 years. He continues to play upright bass fiddle and electric bass for several respected Chicago area bands – the majority of the time with The Neverly Brothers. Mike rounds out the vocal arrangements with his spot-on background vocal harmonies. As an upright bass player he has great musical sensibilities; knowing when to lay back in the pocket and when to drive the song with pulsating power. Always in sync with Keg on drums, Mike's style helps to create a solid rhythm section that forms the foundation of the groups sound.

He has spoken to a range of audiences from the boards of Fortune 100 companies to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing. Ian has worked with more than 100 Fortune 500 companies in health care, manufacturing, information technology, and financial services. Recent client sponsors include Pfizer, XL Capital and Kaiser Permanente. He is a frequent commentator on the future for television, radio, and the print media.
Ian is the author of Healthcare in the New Millennium: Vision, Values and Leadership (Jossey-Bass, 2000). His previous book The Second Curve – Managing The Velocity of Change (Ballantine, 1996) was a New York Times Business Bestseller and Business Week Bestseller. Ian has co-authored several books and chapters, including Future Tense: The Business Realities of the Next Ten Years (William Morrow, 1994) and Looking Ahead at American Health Care (McGraw-Hill, 1988). He also has co-authored numerous journal articles for publications such as Chief Executive, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Across the Board, The British Medical Journal, New England Journal of Medicine, and Health Affairs. .
Ian is a founding partner of Strategic Health Perspectives, an ongoing forecasting service for clients in the health care industry, along with joint venture partners from Harris Interactive and the Harvard University, School of Public Health, Department of Health Policy and Management. Ian is affiliated as a Senior Fellow at the Institute for the Future (IFTF) and its former President (from 1990 to 1996), responsible for leading IFTF's growth and success over that period. From 1996-1999 Ian was retained by Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting) as Chairman of the Health Futures Forum. In that capacity, Ian chaired a number of international forums on the future of healthcare. .
Before coming to IFTF in 1985, Ian spent seven years in British Columbia, Canada, in a variety of research, teaching, and consulting positions. He holds an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in urban studies from the University of British Columbia; an M.A. with Honors in geography from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, and a graduate degree in urban planning from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.

Ian is also a member of the Advisory Boards of BMJ Unified (an electronic publishing joint venture between the British Medical Journal and United Healthcare); Health Markets ( a leader in self-directed health plans); and Medrock (a company engaged in medical concierge services for the seriously ill).
This presentation will focus on the political, economic, and strategic context of change in healthcare, describe the possible scenarios we face and examine how the various actors are preparing for the future.
The second curve is driven by the confluence of three powerful driving forces: new technologies, such as the Internet; new consumers, who are smarter, more affluent, more skeptical and more demanding than the previous generation; and new markets, such as China, with its 1.2 billion consumers. The challenge is to gauge how fast the second curve will take over and develop strategy accordingly.
"You can't go wrong having Ian speak at your event. Content was superb, and speaking style and personality excellent."

Sunbeam Lightbus
The Sunbeam Lightbus is really a nifty device and one that I\'m kind of surprised hasn\'t been copied by anyone else. The fact that it can also be used to control fans is just icing on a pretty sweet cake! The only things I see that could be improved upon are making the hard drive connector a pass-through one so the cases HDD activity light can still be used, and finding a way to utilize the motherboard\'s or sound card\'s headers for accessing the sound signals, rather than using a pass-through cable that will have to be strung all the way across the interior of your case and out the back.

Zara coat | &Other Stories jumper
Topshop trousers | Marni shoes
I have to admit... This one is a bit of an old outfit. By old, I mean... Two weeks old. Last week, my best friend, Hanie, came to visit me for a week. Hence why I did not post anything. Just when I had a great outfit, it was raining. Helloooo spring.
Phil and I (Phil again? What's new right) went to Tate Modern because sometimes we just feel like being cultured and artsy, ya know? Of course I wanted to dress for the occasion and came up with this pyjama-like concoction of an outfit. I wanted to dress down the otherwise formal-ish outfit with a jumper, and thought a matching colour would be more interesting. To be honest I want to wear this jumper forever because it's so comfy!
Just to give you a head's up - April might be the busiest month in the history of my bachelor's degree. I have only one month left to literally conduct my non-existent focus group and finish my dissertation, and a dozen other assignments, while also applying for postgraduate degrees. So I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to post outfit pictures I took last year when my mum and I went to travel England a bit.

|The world belongs to you. Estonia belongs to you.
I'm a dinosaur. I imagined Beijing, I conjured Shanghai. I could see the men and women in their gray and blue uniforms with their gray and blue hats and their little red books, the walls but tapestries of propaganda red with little golden stars. Nothing but bicycles, nothing but cigarettes, nothing but military police and rice. But the "bicycle era is over," they told me from the driver's seats of their BMWs and Mercedes, and Big Brother is no longer Mao, but a retired American military man by the name of Colonel Sanders.
The satanically smug Colonel Sanders grinned down on me from a hundred locations in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou. In the Beijing metro, one can watch a commercial on the small digital televisions that are mounted in each train, a young pretty woman, a young handsome man, fashionable, sporty, business-like, the future, walking in peace, hand in hand, through a local business district, until the pretty young Chinese woman spies the Colonel and then they sort of leap through the air toward the gates of KFC where mushrooms collide with sauce midair and shrimps parachute into steaming plates of rice and the caramel-colored secret sauce bubbles and oozes forth from the buns of fried chicken sandwiches. So happy!
In the back alleys of Shanghai, I was escorted into what could be called a townhouse where a young Estonian socialite now dwells. Like many promising youth, she has turned her back on her native country and vowed never to return. Refugees like her feel suffocated by the village gossip, the incestuous romances, the lack of opportunity as the gluttonous Winners Generation continues to gorge itself ever forward. They have grown sour on the atrophying political scene, where even the most damning of political scandals can't bring down the Teflon Dons. And did you hear that Estonian Air is cancelling its route to London? Tragic. At home, the media sounds and pounds the alarms as Estonia's youth pack their bags and move away. But the youth don't care. They are already gone.
Anyway, it was an enchanting evening of pizza and hää eesti seltskond. One Estonian man, a hulking Viking of an individual who runs a Belgian window factory outside Shanghai, informed me of the pleasures of slaughtering pigs and making one's own verikäkk. He keeps boa constrictors and feeds them rats. In winter visits to Pärnu, he takes his truck out on the frozen bay for rally racing. He complains how the Chinese men spend all their time lazing about and eating and whoring and not renovating their homes, even if a window gets jammed or a tile falls off the ceiling, "Can you believe it?"
The Estonian sea pirate warned me about the chemicals in all Chinese food, how one producer of lamb meat was actually taking beef and soaking it in lamb piss and passing it off as the real thing. Mmm, lamb piss, delicious. It's so common though. Expats in Estonia bitch about the Estonians, expats in China bitch about the Chinese. What is an expat but a bitch who only bitches? "Bitch, bitch, bitch," as a friend's wife mock-says when her expat man goes off on the shoddiness of Estonian journalism, "bitch, bitch, bitch."
China is a land where people drink only hot water, and foot massages are extremely painful. And yet there is a majestic quality to it all, even to the bundles of toilet paper that litter the restaurant floors, as if it was just charming tumbleweed in some Old West saloon. It's a raw, intuitive place, China. There is no need for safety belts, or for even following traffic rules, and pigs and dragons are lucky. In China, sometimes it is best not to know things. Like, what was in that food I just ate? I don't know, but it tasted good and that's all that matters. Or, did the chef wash his hands? I don't know, but I didn't get sick this time and that's all that matters. Who cares if it was soaked in lamb piss or not if we wake up well the next morning and our toes are still tapping?
