Many people ask me why I sing in the SYC Ensemble Singers.
That is, outside of running my online boutique, TheVelvetDolls, being a blogger contracted with Nuffnang and working part-time with GetKlarity as the Editor-In-Chief.
|A group polaroid in Pamplona, Spain with the SYC Ensemble Singers
That's right folks, for the past seven years, I've spent seven hours (on average) a week in rehearsals with the SYC Ensemble Singers, which I joined the year I turned 21 years old. Apart from the seven-hours-a-week rehearsals, the SYC Ensemble Singers also travel every year, performing (concerts), competing (in international choral competitions) and learning (in choir ateliers/workshops). It is a huge commitment for me, especially in light of my super busy schedule, and I've had to work hard to keep myself in the choir in recent years, due to the high level of commitment required.
But when I ask myself if I should call it quits, or to leave the choir all together, I know that being able to sing as part of the SYC Ensemble Singers has become something that's grown to be a very important part of my life, and perhaps even somewhat part of my identity.
Because outside of work and personal commitments, this is how I'm doing something not just for myself, but for something that's profoundly bigger than just a singular me. When I'm singing in the SYC Ensemble Singers, I'm lending one voice to a cause to keep music well and alive in today's pragmatic society that sometimes doesn't pause to listen to such alternative voices.
Yes, we listen to pop music, we listen to the oldies, and we listen to the classics. But what about the living modern-day composers, that may become the Beethovens and Bachs of the future? If there is no one to give voice to our living talents, these voices will die out and face extinction.
When I first joined the SYC Ensemble Singers 7 years ago, I just thought it'd just be my way of keeping my passion for singing alive, but after so many years under the helm of the wonderful Jennifer Tham, I have learnt that I'm doing so much more than just keeping a passion alive.
|The one and only Jen Tham
As a singular SYC Ensemble Singer, I not just learn to become a better musician (coming from someone who cannot read music or sight-sing, even I'm impressed that I'm still here after seven years, and that is a testament to both the choir and how passionate I am for it!), I'm connected to like-minded souls, I experience different cultures through our international exchanges, I truly discover what commitment, discipline and dedication means.

|What it looks like before every concert. Game faces on!

As a collective group, we seek to promote the music of today through active commissioning and performance of the works of living composers. We explore the musical boundaries of what "choir music" is, what singing together means, we hope to showcase what a choir as a means of musical expression can be, and to inspire the proliferation of local choral works, choirs and choristers.
There's so much I feel for music and singing in a choir that is too much for me to express: Read my previous blog post written some time ago about "Thoughts on Being a Chorister".
|Having fun in Turin, Italy during an amazing choir festival!
|Singing with two other choirs: Ateneo (from the Philippines) and Gaia (from Japan) during our massive THREE concert held last December.
Of course, it's also super FUN, there's always laughter, joy and a wonderful sense of camaraderie amongst my fellow members. I have been to soooo many foreign lands I would otherwise never have the privilege of experiencing and loving.
|Aini, Woon, Fish and myself exploring Grenada, Spain after we ended an international choir competition.
I have made amazing friends like Woon, Fish, Aini and many more, because of the heartfelt experiences we've shared together, it takes some really serious stuff (like intense choral competitions!) to build such deep friendships. I love you all much!
Random trivia: Did you know that YZ and I met and fell in love (at a music cafe) because we both love to sing as well? :D
|Circa 2007: YZ and I on stage at 木船民歌餐厅, The Ark Music Cafe where we first met
Random Trivia 2: The SYC Ensemble Singers sang together with Mick Jagger and the rest of The Rolling Stones during their last concert in Singapore *fan girl screams*
|Woon and I with our memorabilia during the day of The Rolling Stones concert, SO so psyched!
All the above I've shared is why I started a Spark: Because music is something magical that speaks so loudly to me, beyond all tangible needs and wants. Singing and making music is something that speaks to my soul and satisfies me at a deeply spiritual level.
And I want my magical experience and the love for music to be able to be shared with the people around me, my loved ones and friends!
My spark is for MORE ears to hear our voices and to keep our local music scene alive and well!
|Some of my uber supportive friends who came down and enjoyed our concert on previous occasions!!
I'm hoping that more of my friends will come for my concerts frequently even if they can't understand half of what's going on at first. Hehehe. Look at YZ, he's a superb example! He really really enjoys SYC concerts now even though they left him confused the first 1-2 times.
And I've been doing what I can to share the music to my loved ones and friends, and I knew I had to have them sing for my big day, to which they so lovingly did.
|These wonderful people accompanied our first wedding march-in with their beautiful voices and music. I love you all much!
I hope that my passion for choral music and my love for singing can spark off more widespread appreciation and support for the local music scene in Singapore! It's just a small wish of mine, but I truly believe in this cause. :)
Maybe take a first step by listening to some of these wonderfully composed pieces performed by us on SYC Ensemble Singers' Youtube channel first? (Psst, try to spot me if your eyes are sharp enough!)

Voveti Prosecco – Peachy-Good Bargain!
In a couple days celebrators around the world will pop open a bottle of bubbly to ring in the New Year. A number of them will drop too much coin for high-priced sparklers that, although they can be great, many wine drinkers won't even be able to tell the difference between them and a much cheaper bottle of bubbly. For the record, I've tasted some of those finer sparklers and I do think there is a difference in many of them… but I struggle to find that difference significant enough to justify the massive price difference.
While I love good sparkling wine, I also love a good bargain. And with Voveti Prosecco, I get the best of both worlds.
Prosecco is a good bubbly option for bargain hunters. It's made using the Charmat process, which involves secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks and bottling under pressure versus the secondary fermentation in bottle (as done in the traditional Champagne method). The Charmat process is less expensive, resulting in more budget-friendly bottle prices. Wines made with the Charmat process are considered less capable of aging and are intended to be consumed young — but who cares, since consuming is exactly why you'd by a Prosecco.
Voveti is a great option for a cheap Prosecco too. It's delicious and priced well-under $20. Currently they only produce one wine under this brand so there's no confusion about what you're buying.
Soft floral, peach and melon aromatics give this wine a pleasant nose. The mouthfeel offers a nice contrast of silky bubbles and tart acidity. The palate brings well balanced tangy peach, apple and lemon flavors. A tart green apple flavor lingers on the finish. This is an easy-drinking prosecco.
Wine: Voveti Prosecco
Variety: Glera
Vintage: Non-vintage
Alcohol: 11%
Rating: 90
Price: $14.00
Disclosure: This wine was received as a media sample.

I have to confess that I totally failed the Blogging Challenge and am going back and retro-posting because I do want to finish, even if not in the allotted timeframe.
I asked my friend, CM, to help me again with today's post and she graciously agreed.
MsDarkstar: Do you think it's helping the transgender community as a whole to have famous people talking about being transgender?
CM: Definitely. In the first place, these famous people are letting transgender kids know that they are not alone in the world, and that it's okay to have a girl's mind in a male body, or a boy's mind in a female body, or to simply have one's identity shift over time, as it did with me. In the second place, these famous people are allowed to share not only their story but those of others too, ones that ordinarily go unheard.
MsDarkstar: If you had a large public platform, what would you tell people about being transgender?
CM: Being transgender is much, much more than having one gender's mind another gender's body. There are more stories than "I knew from a young age I was born in the wrong body." In my case, I did not know there was such a thing as being transgender until high school, and my body had never given me trouble until then. Once I did learn however, I began to question and explore my own identity, until in time I realized that, for me, cross dressing was not just looking pretty. It was a physical, tangible way to express the girl part of me that I had formed, and I loved that part of me so much I wanted to become her. All because she made me happy.
Identity can shift over time. We do not consider ourselves to be the same person at age 20 as we were at age 15, and what we identity as is informed by our life experience. I did not always identify as a girl, but I do now. I am still transgender. The mainstream society, and that includes some transfolk, have done a lot to emphasize one particular narrative, at the exclusion of others. Some might say I am merely "transtrender," a term as insulting as the words tranny or ladyboy. In placing emphasis on one story, those who break the pattern are left without a role model. At day's end though, we're all human. Why can't our story be told?
MsDarkstar: We've seen so many transgender young people end their lives because of a lack of a support system. How do you cope when you're feeling misunderstood?
CM: When I first began questioning, I didn't have a lot of options to express myself. I was two months away from graduating high school in a very conservative state, and I felt the guidance counselors would not be ready for the bomb I would've dropped on them, so I went to the only place where I could express myself: online.
I cannot fully illustrate how important the Internet was to me during my time of questioning, and after when I accepted myself for who I was. The people I've met there may not have been "real," but we honestly care about one another, to the point that when my parents finally did learn about my struggle and were not understanding, it was my online friends who brought me up and made me feel like myself than ever before. Obviously, I wasn't there when Leelah Alcorn passed away. If I was though, I would have encouraged her to look online for the support and friendship she so badly needed.
MsDarkstar: While I don't feel it's inherently relevant to the discussion, I'll throw in that I'm a cis-female (A non-transgendered female. A naturally-born woman or girl whose psychological gender identity is socially female also). I'm sharing these conversations with my friend CM because I think understanding diversity is important. If the topic makes you uncomfortable, feel free to skip these posts and come back for something that's more to your liking.

The news comes as communications watchdog Ofcom has toughened the financial penalties it can impose for breaches of the standards aimed at protecting viewers. ITV said that its decision reflects its lack of confidence in the compliance procedures of Channel Television.
Channel Television said it was "dismayed" that ITV is to introduce the new system for shows and that ITV had called into question its "record".
"This statement also serves to notify independent production companies supplying programming to the ITV Network of our intentions to double comply these programmes, though at no additional cost to the producers themselves.
"ITV plc is today writing to Ofcom and PACT [which represents independent producers] to alert them to these new arrangements," ITV said in its statement.
The ITV franchise holder for the Channel Islands provides legal compliance services for major ITV1 shows such as The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent.
"In marked contrast to ITV, Channel has yet to be penalised for compliance failures although expects a penalty with regard to one show after nine years of complying some of the biggest programmes on ITV," said Channel TV in a statement.
Last year, Ofcom fined ITV a record £5.675m.

Smith Earnings Up 17% in Q4 2007
Smith International, Inc. announced fourth quarter net income of $167.0 million, or 83 cents per share, on revenues of $2.3 billion. The Company's fourth quarter after-tax earnings were 17 percent above the comparable prior-year period which had earnings of $143.0 million, or 71 cents per share, on revenues of $2.0 billion. On a full-year basis, Smith reported sales of $8.76 billion with resulting earnings of $647.1 million, or $3.20 per diluted share – a 29 percent profitability improvement over the prior fiscal year.
Consolidated revenues were two percent above the amounts reported in the third quarter of 2007, reflecting reasonably flat global activity levels period-to-period. The sequential revenue improvement was associated with the Oilfield segment operations, which generated sequential revenue growth of five percent - supported by higher offshore revenue volumes and continued expansion in the Eastern Hemisphere markets. Consolidated results were in-line with amounts reported for the September 2007 quarter as the profitability associated with incremental Eastern Hemisphere business volumes was offset by the impact of activity declines in the shallow U.S. offshore market and, to a lesser extent, weather and other issues related to several start-up projects in Mexico. On a combined basis, these factors contributed to a $7.9 million reduction in net income in the December 2007 quarter.
Commenting on the results, Chairman and CEO, Doug Rock stated, "Fourth quarter revenues and earnings set records for Smith, but margins failed to improve. During the quarter, the reduction of working jack-up rigs in the U.S. Gulf Coast along with a curtailment of premium tubular demand in a flat U.S. drilling market caused a decline in Smith Services revenues and margins. Additionally, flooding in Villahermosa, Mexico and new contract start-ups in Mexico contributed to a slight reduction in M-I SWACO margins. However, strong non-North American markets, as evidenced by our 28 percent fourth quarter 2007 year-on-year revenue gain in the Eastern Hemisphere and Latin American markets, demonstrate our 2008 growth potential which should lead to another record year. As a result, we feel that a reasonable expectation for full year 2008 earnings per share for Smith is in the $3.70 to $3.80 range."
Margaret Dorman, Chief Financial Officer, added, "The results for the Company were on the lower-end of our fourth quarter expectations. Smith's Oilfield segment revenues improved five percent over the September 2007 quarter and related after-tax earnings grew two percent – despite the fact that offshore activity levels were down five percent sequentially and the overall drilling market was flat. Lower revenue volumes and the inclusion of costs to relocate our U.S. distribution center resulted in reduced Distribution segment earnings – influencing the consolidated results. On a fiscal year basis, Smith's Oilfield segment revenues grew 23 percent and earnings improved more than 30 percent – supported by 100 basis points of year-over-year margin expansion. We expect Oilfield margins will improve from current levels, particularly as activity in the Eastern Hemisphere shows further expansion in the back half of the year."
M-I SWACO's fourth quarter revenues totaled $1.19 billion, seven percent above the September 2007 quarter and 22 percent higher on a year-on-year basis. The improvement over the third quarter of 2007 reflects eight percent growth in offshore revenue volumes influenced by spending in the North Sea, Middle East and U.S. deepwater markets. On a product basis, over 80 percent of the growth was generated outside the company's traditional drilling fluid product lines, evidencing increased demand for environmental equipment in Europe/Africa and continued expansion of the Wellbore Assurance operations in the Eastern Hemisphere region. The unit's sequential results were impacted by weather and start-up issues associated with several land-based drilling programs in Mexico and, to a lesser extent, continued deterioration in the shallow U.S. offshore market.
Smith Technologies reported revenues of $267.1 million, three percent above the third quarter of 2007 and 11 percent higher on a year-on-year basis. The sequential revenue comparison reflects strong performance of the North American three-cone drill bit operations reflecting increased market penetration and, to a lesser extent, improved product pricing. Additionally, increased diamond bit export sales volumes in the Eastern Hemisphere market, influenced by new contract awards and the timing of customer projects, also contributed to the sequential revenue improvement. After excluding the impact of export orders, revenues were modestly above the third quarter of 2007 and were 12 percent higher than the prior year quarter.
Smith Services' fourth quarter revenues totaled $312.9 million, slightly below the September 2007 period and 18 percent above the year-ago level. The decline in the number of jack-up rigs operating in the Gulf of Mexico contributed to a 15 percent sequential reduction in offshore revenue volumes – adversely impacting revenues and operating earnings. Compared to the third quarter of 2007, lower premium tubular sales and, to a lesser extent, reduced demand for drilling and remedial service offerings in the U.S. Gulf Coast market accounted for the period-to-period revenue decline. Sequentially, tubular volumes declined three percent as higher shipments of drill pipe products in the U.S. market partially offset lower sales of drill collars and other premium tubular offerings.
Distribution segment revenues were $526.9 million, six percent below the third quarter of 2007 and three percent higher on a year-on-year basis. The majority of the sequential revenue decline was experienced in North America, reflecting lower line pipe demand in the upstream energy sector. To a lesser extent, the inclusion of a large engineering and construction order in the third quarter of 2007 which did not recur in the December period contributed to lower business volumes in the Europe/Africa market.

In general, car dealers are not known for adopting new technologies that can help them do their business more easily and more efficiently. For example, dealerships have not been too keen on embracing the Internet, one of the greatest inventions of our time, and use it to increase sales and provide a better service for their customers. But, like with almost any other business, the Internet can be of great benefit to auto dealerships, which can take advantage of the seemingly endless possibilities it offers, in order to adjust to the ever-changing needs and preferences of customers, and make the sales process more convenient for them.
However, it seems that they have started to realize just how helpful the Internet can be, and many dealerships are now aware that a vast majority of consumers nowadays use it to make all sorts of purchases, and that popularity of online shopping increases at a pretty fast pace. Today's buyers like the convenience and the simplicity of online shopping, and they don't care for that face-to-face approach at dealerships that has always been one of the most important parts of the whole car buying experience. They want to be able to take a look at the cars they are interested in online, see their specs and compare prices, and only go to a dealership after they have decided which car is right for them. They don't want to waste time and go from one dealership to another just to see what a certain car costs, if the Internet allows them to do that from the comfort of their homes. This way, buyers only have to go to a dealership to take the car they have chosen for a test ride, and negotiate over its price, which is far more practical.
What dealers can do to take advantage of the Internet is provide customers with as much information as possible through their websites or mobile apps, letting them know when they have special deals on specific models, or offer discounts to those who download their smartphone apps and shop with them frequently.
Additionally, if customers can buy a car online, it will reduce dealerships' operating costs and fees significantly. For instance, they could streamline the sales process and make it faster and more efficient, conducing all transactions online, eliminating the huge stacks of paperwork that are created after each sale. By digitalizing the filing system and computerizing the process of categorization of all sorts of documents, dealerships will be get a chance to increase sales, as well as profits from a more efficient service center, that allows customers to make an appointment online and can diagnose a defect and resolve it more quickly by retrieving information about a certain vehicle from a digital archiving system.
To sum up, dealerships need to accept the fact that technology can help them keep their customers and avoid losing potential buyers, because of their inefficiency, and the inability to speed up their sales and service processes.

Unique Aspects of Design Covered by Patent Numbers 545813, Issued Aug. 27, 1895 and 566882 issued Sept. 1, 1896Background & History: In 1895, Ronald Robertson patented (patent number 545813) a unique glass tube oil lamp burner. The key to Robertson's invention was an onion shaped bulb at the top of the tube which Robertson claimed trapped the noxious gases which were the by-products of the fuel combustion and allowed those gases to be burned without being released into the atmosphere. The result was a smokeless, odorless and very efficient oil lamp burner. Robertson's patent was assigned to or acquired by the Glow Night Lamp Company of Boston, which initially produced two models of night lights using Robertson's design (These two original glow lamp designs are shown in Frank & Ruth Smith's book "Miniature Lamps" in Figures 625 and 628).

This website will be giving rich information about learnership program for professionals who are looking for work-based training. As has been referenced earlier, learnerships involves a strict training program inside and outside job that apprentices should be followed once they enroll in it. Learnerships was designed specifically for professional careers, with the scheme of program targeting vocational jobs and trade. Our website specializes in providing you any information related to learnership. All the information here is dedicated for university students, though it also meant for school students and post-graduate adults as well. With these kinds of information, we are providing you an opportunity to apply for any learnerships. We invite those who interested in establishing career within some of the fields like art, engineering, electrical, automotive, information & technology, etc, to read any information available here in.
We have realized that practice means everything for professional as well as for students. Most of learnership program was focused mainly on practice. Apprentices will spend most of their time practicing crucial skills to be used later for sustaining their work or duty.

So, choose carefully all the information available in this website.
Some tips in choosing the company or organization where you will be an apprentice:
- Choose learnership programs in accordance with what you've learned while in college. Choose any program that matches your ability as well. If any program does not fit into, you might get trouble in adapting to it;
- Prepare a portfolio that contains a compilation of the work. It is used as an attachment and must be included in the application form of an apprenticeship program. Some companies ask for a portfolio, while the others are not. Portfolios are usually used as material to consider whether you are accepted or not. Therefore, it would be better if you prepare a portfolio before applying to an learnership program;
- Before sending your application, you should contact the provider of learnership programs. It aims to ascertain whether the company is providing learnership or not. By doing this way, you can also find out more information about the learnership. Make sure you have prepared all the necessary files.
All the information about learnership stored in here is given by individuals, who may or may not represent any organization in which learnership program is available. All information here is collected from different sources and distributed digitally. Our website is opened for students who intend to seek work experience and those who need information about learnership. Furthermore, we also intend to pave the way for professionals specialized in a particular field that might look for a chance to enhance individual skill and competency.

Get a list of apartments
Foreclosure apartments that will approve you:
- Foreclosure
- Pre-Foreclosure
- Short-Sale
There is a good selection of apartments that accept a foreclosure. While you may have been denied recently, we are able to provide you a list of apartments that meet your criteria and will approve you.
Important: What would make it more difficult is if you have a foreclosure paired with a broken lease, eviction, bankruptcy, or background issues. If so, those are more pressing matters and you should direct your attention to the multiple issues page.
How much will my deposit be?
A deposit for an applicant that comes back with a foreclosure is typically around one months rent. However, not every property is the same, and they can charge you more or less depending on the circumstances.
How old does the foreclosure need to be?
Typically foreclosures are treated the same as a broken lease, so the older the better. Most properties require the foreclosure to be at least one year old, and it would help more if you have some rental history afterward.
What if I was also declined because of a utility bill, or tax collection?
Either of those are automatic denial at a large percentage of properties in the market including many second chance properties. They will, in most cases, require the bill or lien to be paid in full before they can approve you.
- Get a free credit report if you don't have one at Quizzle.com. They do not require a credit card, and the more information you have the better equipped you will be for finding an apartment that will approve you.
- If you have paid off the foreclosure then bring documentation that it has been paid in full.
- Know your credit score, and account history. When visiting the properties you can ask for their criteria up-front, and often times they can tell you whether or not you have a good chance to be approved.

"Baltimore City Teaching Residency recruit candidates without a background in education to become an effective teacher for the students who need them the most. This year in Baltimore, we have a shortage of Special Education and Science teachers.
Baltimore City students need and deserve creative teachers to share the wonders of Biology or Chemistry. And those students with additional learning needs could benefit greatly from the fresh-thinking and experience your school has already provided.
Baltimore City Teaching Residency trains accomplished professionals and recent college graduates to become exceptional, certified teachers for the Baltimore students who need them most. Only twelve credit hours in Biology or Chemistry (or related coursework) are needed to qualify.
Most enrollees who enter
into the Special Education program have little to no prior background in
Special Education. As a Baltimore Special Education Resident you would
be dual certified, which makes you a valuable
prospect for hiring Principals and doubles your future teaching
Special Education Residents benefit from a range of choices in classroom settings. Most BCTR Residents teach students with mild-to-moderate disabilities. In fact, students are learning the same content as their grade-level peers in a general education setting. You may work with a co-teacher, have a small group of students, or a combination of these settings.
Teaching Special Education = specialized training + highest need + infinite reward.
Our final deadline is April 17. Finish your application today!"

notes from buenos aires
"Anything can happen on Avenue Corrientes," the man said as he sipped his cappuccino.
I was sitting in Café Tortoni on Avenida de Mayo when I overheard that line. "What a great way to begin a story," I thought.
Of course, he was referring to Avenida Corrientes in
Large and elegant, intellectual and sensual,
I finished my cappuccino and grabbed a cab. The cabbies here are superstitious. Each one has some sort of talisman hanging from their rear view mirror. Red ribbons, crosses, rosary beads and such. I wondered if the style of driving in BA had anything to do with it – lanes were definitely optional. On this day, my cabbie had a crocheted owl jauntily bouncing from his mirror. I wanted to ask about it but couldn't find the words.
I headed to the northern barrios of
First stop, Floralis Generica, a giant steel and aluminum flower in the Plaza Naciones Unidos. Designed by architect Eduardo Catalano and built by Lockheed, this iconic flower opens and closes its petals with the rise and fall of the sun. It reminded me of some mechanical flytrap or perhaps a docking station for alien spacecraft. The vast sky reflects in its metallic surfaces as its cavernous maw waits for something to finally enter.
The bookend to this sculpture is Fernando Botero's, Male Torso. A mammoth and muscled chest of bronze arises from the ground, headless and armless. It stops the viewer by its surprising awkwardness and deformity.
A strange pair I thought!
Next I was off to Malba, the gorgeous Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires. A four-tiered building, beautifully lit by an entire wall of steel and glass, this museum features the Costantini collection of 19th and 20th century Latin American art. A must see.
I fell in love with the surrealist landscapes of Mexican artist, Miguel Covarrubias, and became reacquainted with Argentine painter, Guillermo Kuitca (they pronounce the double L as J). I enjoyed the work by Ernesto Deira AND Antonio Berni. I found that Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptual Art look much the same in South America. I checked out the beautiful bookstore on the ground floor and gazed at the people in the sunken cafe.
I walked over to the Centro Cultural Recoleta, where I saw Antoni Muntadas' Stadium XIII, a large and consuming installation of video and photography. I then went next door to the famous Cementerio de la Recoleta and wandered the tiled streets of crypts and mausoleums. I'm not a big fan of funerary architecture but understand the Recoleta cemetary ranks among the top 3 along with the Staglieno in Genoa and Pere-Lachaise in Paris. Among the angels and flowers and cats - lots of them, live ones, skulking about - I found Eva Peron and kept thinking of
Dying for lunch (cheap shot), I left the Recoleta park and walked down Avenida Alvear in search of some place to land. Alvear is all elegance. Designer stores, grand hotels, dog walkers for the small pooch, and the larger breeds. The marble tiles in the sidewalk clicked and clacked as I stepped on loose ones here and there. I liked the sound.
I came upon Galeria Rubbers and went in. They were showing the late works of Mario Grinbaum, a Buenos Aires painter who had recently died. Stark, urban landscapes, Grinbaum overlays everything with a grid-like mesh. I thought of the tiled sidewalks just outside. Although elegant and sumptuous, what faced me was a world that has been ruptured and torn, a world of landslides, fissures, and gaping sink holes. A bit apocalyptic.
Finished for the day, I went across the street to Celetta, a perfectly gorgeous Italian cafe, and dawdled over Caesar salad, agua minerale con gaz and a much needed cappuccino. Watching the well-heeled residents of Recoleta walk by (click, clack), I could have been in

Optimising our operational efficiency
"This programme is not just about cost savings, it is also a programme that will help us to work in a simpler, more effective way across the business."
Karen Witts
Chief Financial Officer
Over these next five years, the key driver of Kingfisher's operational efficiency is going to come from our work on goods for not for resale (GNFR). These are all the goods and services that we need to run our business, that are not sold to our customers, such as paper for catalogues and the fork lift trucks that are used in our stores.
Kingfisher spends £1.2 billion a year on goods not for resale, and having completed a detailed scoping exercise last year, we believe that around 90 % of this spend can be unified. This programme is not just about cost savings, it is also a programme that will help us to work in a simpler, more effective way across the business, without compromising on quality.
Our GNFR spend has been broken down into three 'waves' which will be implemented largely over the next three years.
Wave 1 is well progressed, including categories such as media buying, print and paper and mechanical handling equipment. The results of this wave will start to be delivered in 2016/17. Analysis has started on Wave 2, which includes point of sale material, financial services and shop-fitting.
The print and paper category includes all the promotional leaflets, catalogues and other marketing publications we produce for our customers.
It's a category that demonstrates how we can better leverage the scale of the Company by unifying our approach to managing GNFR categories across our operating companies. In the past, each operating company has taken its own, individual approach. For example, we use promotional flyers in all our operating companies, but they have different sizes, different paper grades and different printing methods, and we have negotiated with our suppliers at different times of the year.
As part of our new approach we have worked together to harmonise our approach to this category. We are picking the optimal specifications, which means we are looking for lowest cost formats which are the most efficient for suppliers' manufacturing process. We have also been looking at the total end-to-end costs for these publications, including paper waste, print costs and transport costs. But lower cost does not mean lowest quality. For example, by working with our suppliers we have been able to change the printing process on certain publications, driving better quality whilst reducing costs. We also have been able to consolidate volumes with fewer suppliers and thereby improving our bargaining power. And finally, we have run a joint tender process for our different operating companies enabling us to better leverage our scale and get better commercial terms.

Thirteen is said to be an unlucky number, but I tend to think it's lucky because it's the number you are today.
I've had thirteen years of you, and though it's gone by in the blink of an eye, it's been tremendously rewarding. So far, you have been a pretty super kid.
It's hard for me to comprehend that in five years, you will be eighteen and it's just as hard to think that five years ago, you were just turning eight. But, right now, while you are smack-dab in the middle of childhood and adulthood, I am enjoying watching you grow and change. I won't lie, I could do without your grumpy attitude sometimes, but I'm sure you could say the same thing about me.
You are smart, funny and a good friend. I love that you read all the time, that you're good at math and that you love music. I love that you hate to lose, but when you do, you're a good sport about it. I love that you're charitable and responsible and that you have a hearty laugh. I love to watch you play the piano, dance, play softball, and sing.
But mostly, I love that you're my daughter.
Happy 13th birthday, Goose! If you could stop getting older now, that would be great.

When Things Go Wrong Right

I love it when things fail in an interesting way. That's what happened here while I was shooting with Brooke and Romahni. The situation was a difficult one. It was dark in the cave and a lot lighter outside. But it was still, overall, pretty dark, so the exposure was long. The exposure for this shot […]

Chicken Tortilla Soup
This is a wonderful Mexican style chicken tortilla soup recipe! All made from scratch starting with a whole chicken and fresh vegetables to make a delicious chicken broth. Add the picked chicken and more fresh vegetables and spices to make a spicy and flavorful soup topped with fresh avocado and homemade tortilla strips. You're gonna love it!
Ingredients: Chicken Tortilla Soup (broth)
1 3 to 3 1/2lb. whole chicken
water to cover chicken by 1 in. ( about 1 to 1 1/2 gal. )
2 stalks celery
1 onion
2 carrots
1/3 green pepper
1/3 red pepper
3 cloves fresh garlic
1 tbsp. salt
1 teas. pepper
1/2 teas. chili powder
1/4 teas. cumin
4 dry bay leaves
1 tbsp. dry oregano
Method: Chicken Tortilla Soup (broth)
Thoroughly wash your whole chicken and place in a large 10 qt. stock pot. Add water to cover the chicken by about 1 inch. Wash and roughly chop your vegetables into big chunks, about 1 to 2 inch pieces. These vegetables are just being used to flavor the water so they don't have to be peeled or sliced in any certain way. Onion peels, garlic peels, seeds are all good to use when making a broth because it will all be strained out later. Add all of the ingredients to your pot. Bring your pot to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 1 to 1 1/2 hours remove the chicken to a plate and let it cool and then pick all of the meat off of the carcass. This will be easy because your chicken will basically fall apart. Strain your broth to remove the vegetables. Rinse your pot and return the broth to it, you can discard these vegetables as they have added all of their flavor to the broth. Let the broth cool slightly. As the chicken cooks in the broth, some of the skin will dissolve into the broth. This is fat that will make your broth cloudy so it needs to be removed. By cooling your broth slightly the fat will separate and float to the top. When it does, gently push a ladle down into the broth. You want to do this slowly, making sure your ladle is level with the broth. Let the edge of the ladle just barely pass the surface of the broth, this will allow you to remove the fat without the broth. You may want to let the broth settle after each scoop to allow the fat to return to the surface. You have just made your own homemade chicken broth.
Pablano Chili (roasted)
Roasting the chili's adds a wonderful flavor to your soup and is fairly easy to do, here's how.
Turn a gas burner on low to medium low heat and place your chili directly on it. Rotate your chili to basically burn the skin. This will help separate the skin from the meat or pulp of the chili making it easy to peel. You could do this under the broiler, in a super hot oven, on a barbecue or even with a torch ( that's a restaurant trick ). I like the gas burner. Once the chili's are blackened, place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. This will steam them further helping to separate the skin. When they are cool enough to work with peel off the skin. Insert a small knife to make an incision into the top of the chili. Put your finger into the hole with your fingernail facing towards the stem and gently cut around the top. This will make it easy to remove the seed pod. Slice the chili in half and remove any excess seeds.
Ingredients: Chicken Tortilla Soup
picked chicken ( bite size pieces )
2 pablano chili's ( roasted, 1in. triangle )
3/4 green pepper ( 1 in. triangle )
3/4 red pepper ( 1 in. triangle )
1 small onion ( 1/4 in. slice )
3 cloves fresh garlic ( minced )
1 big stalk celery ( bias slice )
2 small carrots ( bias slice )
2 tomatoes ( 1/2 in. cube )
2 1/2 teas. salt
1/2 teas. pepper
Toppings: Chicken Tortilla Soup
2 avocados ( 1/2 in. dice )
10 6 inch corn tortillas ( strips )
Method: Chicken Tortilla Soup
Bring your broth back to the boil and add the salt, pepper, green and red peppers, onion, carrots, garlic and celery and boil for about 30 minutes covered, or until the vegetables have softened, stir occasionally. Stir in the pablano chili's, tomatoes and chicken and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer covered for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes start to break up. And there it is, a beautiful homemade soup from scratch. Add freshly diced avocado for a nice creamy yet firm texture to the bite that adds a great contrast to the spiciness and some crispy tortilla strips over top.
For the chips, cut about 10 6in. corn tortillas into strips that are about 2 inches long and 1/4 inches wide. Lightly fry in 350 degree oil for about 1 to 2 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and lightly salt. These will give you much better flavor than any store bought chip.
This is an outstanding Mexican style chicken tortilla soup! Spicy and delicious and a real crowd pleaser. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy and HAPPY COOKING!

The location was a country town called Sevenhill in South Australia where the party host had hired use of the local sporting oval. The party was held around the clubroom area (in the distance of the image) with my DJ setup under the verandah and a fire and shelters setup outside. We setup at 3PM and were up and running by 4:30PM taking a little longer than planned due to also helping to setup shelters and tarps for cover. This was the first gig using the all new setup so I was excited to see how it would work and also a little nervous not knowing the limits of the system.
Setup went smooth and everything was powered up first time no problems. The lighting effects I had been working on all went according to plan but I did feel I needed more variety in the effects such as dropping some in and out much more but I was more than happy with how they worked.
Power was the other concern since I had no idea the actual power the system needed in total with everything full blast and the power from the canteen was only a single powerpoint which was also running 2 fridges. I had my power meter and that read only 400W with all lights and sound at full which was good (smoke machine needed another 1100w)
There were a number of young kids at the start of the night and the bubble machine and smoke machine had the kids on the dancefloor most of the night. The crowd was not a real dance happy crowd, more stand around the bonfire kind of crowd but we managed to get them up for a few songs through the night and what we couldn't find for requests in our database we were able to locate easily online for them.
We were visited by the Police at about 2am which was expected but we simply turned down the music and kept partying.
All in all the night was a great success and the system performed as good as I had hoped. We managed to get a lot of good photos from our photography partner (cheers CLU Productions) and will be updating our info pages and advertising fliers soon along with a small demo video to help sell the whole idea.
For now it's back to fine tuning the lighting and sound system and focusing on the next few upgrades to the subs and tops.

I THINK I recognise the new folk moving to town to set up a church in Gainsborough.
Have the Waltons moved in?
Still, it's great to hear of a new church starting rather than a fast food restaurant or flats.
Good luck! Here's hoping you all become regular readers, that'd soon double sales.

In Korea, you may realize that winter has passed by the change of your dinner menu. As the springtime comes, Koreans enjoy consuming bom-na-mul (봄나물: wild spring herbs) such as naeng-i (냉이: shepherd's purse), dal-lae (달래: wild chive), sook (쑥: mugwort), and so on. Koreans believe that foods that are in season are the best for one's health and spring herbs are filled with nutritions that help you regain your strength and appetite. Nowadays, popular herbs are available year-around as they are grown in greenhouses instead of being collected in the wild.
I love using naengi in many of my Korean recipes. I could even get them in Canada at Korean grocery stores and would add them to my dwenjang jjigae (된장찌개: Korean miso soup) although they are slightly pricey. Here in Korea, I could get a small plastic bag filled with fresh naengi for only 1,000 won. What a steal!
Naengi Muchim (냉이무침: seasoned shepherd's purse) is a simple side dish that goes great with plain white rice. You can add some seasoned shepherd's purse and a fried egg to a bowl of rice and mix it up like a bibimbap – try it, it's awesome!
fresh naengi (about 100g)
1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
1 tbsp dwenjang (fermented bean paste)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp maesil-cheong (Korean plum juice)
1 tsp corn syrup
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1. Cut bigger naengi into halves or quarters.
2. Because naengi is root vegetable, it may contain dirt within its stem and root. Clean thoroughly under cold running water.
3. Add the naengi into boiling salted water and blanch for 2~3 minutes.
4. Wash the cooked naengi with cold water then squeeze out the liquid.
5. In a large bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients except the sesame seeds. Add the naengi and mix with your hand until incorporated with the sauce.
6. Plate the salad and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two biopolymer strands, coiled around each other to form a double helix. These two DNA strands are called polynucleotides since they are composed of several monomer proteins. Each nucleotide is made up of nitrogen-containing cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), or thymine (T), one deoxyribose sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. The nucleotides are joined to one another in a chain by covalent hydrogen bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next, resulting in an alternating sugar-phosphate backbone, according to base-pairing rules. The total amount of DNA in all living organisms is estimated to weigh 50 billion tons (Wikipedia). That's a lot of DNA, especially as protein molecules are microscopic and thus invisible to the naked eye.
The DNA backbone is resistant to cleavage, unless there is a mutation, and both pieces of the double-stranded structure store the same biological information. When a cell divides, it RNA transcription must replicate the DNA in its genome so that the two daughter cells are afforded an exact copy of the genetic information stored in the parent cells. The double-stranded structure of DNA provides a simple mechanism for DNA replication. The two strands are separated and then each strand's complementary DNA sequence is recreated by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. A large part of DNA (almost 99% in humans) is non-coding, meaning that these sections do not serve as patterns for protein sequences, but rather perform little-known functions. Beyond major requirements within the molecular biology department, you may consider Cal Poly San Luis Obispo nutrition degree as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

After a week's controversies and Diwali celebrations in Colors' popular reality show Bigg Boss 8, the contestants are all set to have some cool moments with the host Salman Khan in Weekend Ka War.
We came to know that Salman and the other contestants had a gala time this weekend as following Salman's wish, Pritam made everyone laugh.
We heard that, "Salman asked Pritam Singh to do mimicry of his fellow inmates and Pritam pursued his wish by doing mimicry of the other inmates of the house. Pritam did mimicry of all his inmates like how Diandra Soares wakes up in the morning, the way Gautam Gulati sings and the way Puneet Issar speaks in his heavy voice.
Pritam's mimicry made everyone inside the house burst into laughter including Salman Khan who really loved Pritam's act." It would be a fun moment to enjoy Pritam's mimicry for the viewers indeed.
