"Is bad spending habit hereditary?"
I received this question from a forum member this morning while I was at the office. But I couldn't answer right away so I just typed in the question on my cellphone and thought of just answering it when I get home.
Anyway, the truth is I was still reflecting about the right answers by doing a self-assessment of my previous and current spending habits.
I knew my parents were very frugal as far as I could remember but I still asked myself, "did I inherit any bad spending habit from my parents?"
How My Parents Struggled Financially
I was often sick when I was a child. Most of the time, my father's savings/emergency fund would oftentimes go back to zero as they always had to send me to a doctor and buy expensive medicines in the process.
Couple that with my school fees and other needs that my parents found really difficult to sustain. So spending above our means was not in my parents vocabulary.
But the worst happened when my father lost his managerial job at the Philippine Ports Authority after the People Power Revolution. If only my father "went with the flow" and accepted bribes and "gifts" from their clients, we would not have struggled financially. But that never crossed my father's mind at all.
While the rest of his officemates and staff drove cars and lived in big houses, my father just continued riding the jeepneys and tricycles and rented an apartment shared with other relatives.
He used his relatively small retirement pay to start a couple of businesses that both failed in the process. The first business (office furniture distribution) was a flop as his business partner just disappeared in thin air together with my father's money. The second one was destroyed by a typhoon (a fishpen in Taal Lake).
So there really was no way my parents would have spent beyond our means because there was no money at all. We lived a very simple life. Very simple that our house was just the same size as a regular bedroom.
And because of this experience, we've learned to be content. Most of the times we would have one tuyo (or hawot in Batangas) each and one cup of steamed rice each per meal. Sometimes we had to settle for talbos ng kamote or malunggay for lunch or dinner.
We've Borrowed and Borrowed Money
Because we didn't have a steady source of income and we had no more savings, my parents began to borrow money from relatives and friends to pay the bills. And this was the main reason why my mother had to leave the country and worked in Qatar for two "long" years. I was 10 years old and my younger brother was only 7 then.
While we learned how to take care of money we regularly received from our mother, it just wasn't enough for our needs. My parents kept on borrowing and borrowing money for our needs because we lacked other sources of income. We borrowed until my father went really sick.
So even if i did not inherit any bad spending habit from my parents, it was poverty, lack of proper financial education, and the most difficult moments in life that eventually developed my small wallet mentality.
I inherited the utang culture.
Overcoming the Hereditary Curse
And although my parents lived frugally and taught us not to buy things (and food!) that were not necessary, I was always praying that we will be able to settle all our debts and be financially free again.
Debts can be addicting and destructive at the same time. You lose trust of the people who believed in you. You become a talk of the town for not paying money you owe to someone. People curse you for being in debt.
It wasn't easy. In fact, I'm still looking for the people I owed money before to apologize for not being able to pay them back immediately. But I hope to meet up with them again soon and restore everything, our friendships the most.
Bad money behaviors can be hereditary. But you need not point fingers at your parents or put all the blame on them for the hardships in life. It's all a matter of decision to appreciate your net worth and your true intrinsic value. Use your core gifts to generate money and become responsible financially. Learn from people who went through the same situation as yours but have become successful today.
See your problems as a whole. Mend your past lack of financial responsibility. Your financial freedom is up to you and nobody else.

Thursday, 16 October 2008
Turnbull may have looked bombastic getting on TV to do his own national address last night but he had little choice than to at least stake his position. Of course his claim that the government should have seen the warning signs earlier made little sense other than to try and put his and Nelson's pseudo-populism over the last few months in a favourable light. Equating that with Rudd's $10bn hand-out will cut little ice with voters as if there is one thing Rudd knows how to do, it is to make his highly popular actions look like brave statesmanship.
However, behind this, Turnbull put his finger on two weaknesses that may come back to cause problems for the government. The first is that this hand-out has been done for political rather than economic reasons. This is why the government keeps being asked for the changed economic advice and forecasts from the ones Rudd was talking about only a few days before when he brandished the growth "with a two in front of it" forecast by the IMF. In fact, in Parliament yesterday, Rudd still seems to regard those IMF forecasts as valid. When asked on what basis he decided on the hand-out, he said:
The basis of the economic advice lies in the IMF public report on the state of the global economy and the growth projections for the major developed countries going forward.
The problem here is that if, for example, the Chinese economy still holds up, and growth in Australia does still continue, Rudd could look like someone who blew half the surplus in a panic. He could still claim that growth held up because of the package, but how a one-off spending spree in the next few months could sustain growth beyond that would still have to be explained. As seen by Julie Bishop's clumsy handling of it last night, this is a difficult line to hold, but at least the Liberals are finally positioned back on the non-populist side of the debate where they need to be.
The second line is even more unpopular for the moment but also could cause Rudd problems at a later date, his relationships with the banks. As a practical measure, Rudd's announcement to tackle the 'extreme capitalism' of banks through the pay of their executives is, of course, utter nonsense. Firstly, we have been told that Australian banks are strong and have acted responsibly, so why is the pay of their CEOs a problem? Secondly, even on Wall Street, the job of CEOs is to maximise profit for their shareholders which, if they do not do so, especially on Wall Street, they are quickly dumped (albeit with very generous pay-offs). The 'greed' that Rudd is talking about is surely that of the shareholders that demand their CEOs find ways to maximise profits. Is Rudd suggesting that bank profits should be constrained? Of course not, when he has just been boasting how profitable Australian ones are. It would seem that the problem with some US banks is that they were not quite profitable enough.
Bashing executive pay is a politically useful way of giving some moral fibre to what is ultimately a Howard-esque way of buying support. Unfortunately for Australian banks, they have left themselves open to being used like this. There was a cute moment on The 7.30 Report on Monday night when the Chairman of the Australian Bankers' Association said that 'no Australian bank is having to be bailed out in terms of capital. We can all raise our own capitals fine.' Maybe that's what the banks are telling themselves. But as Rudd clearly explained in Parliament, the very reason that the government guaranteed deposits and backed Australian bank funding in the wholesale market is that they can't raise their capital 'fine' if they are competing against banks backed by their own governments. By taking the Labor government's shilling, the banks have conceded they need it and so have opened themselves up to moralising from Rudd.
Yet at the end of the day, after lauding how profitable Australian banks are, Rudd is still going to want them to stay that way and will be exposed to a charge of being ineffectual, or in their thrall, if he cannot follow his recent moralising through.
The root of Rudd's dilemma is that these 'obscene' credit instruments, as he calls them are not the problem but a solution that no longer works. The problem is not too much credit but that the credit arrangements we have had for the last twenty years to keep the global economy going have broken down and need to be re-built back up. That is why governments around the world have been desperately doing so over the last few weeks. Rudd, and his moral counterpart in the US, Obama, may damn the evil of credit and praise the virtues of 'living in your means'. Unfortunately the global economy is still at risk of finding out how wonderful such virtue is.

My favorites are the tri-color necklace and bracelet which honor the Irish flag! The green represents the Irish nationalist tradition of Ireland and the orange represents the Orange (Protestant) tradition in Ireland, with white representing peace, or a truce, between them.

Politicians could pick up a few tips on nurturing from Lena
I would like to congratulate Dublin Zoo's staff on their newest arrival. Well done to all involved, especially the mother Lena.
In a week dominated by the Moriarty Report, stress tests, nuclear meltdown and war, it is a welcome piece of good news.
The primordial instinct of the mother to protect her young is inspiring. While nature is often cruel, it also shows how families and groups can work together to overcome adversity.

But seriously, I have always had the nagging feeling Manowar are giving into commercialism. For one, although I have had nothing but love for their new work, it makes me think... why didn't release Sons of Odin, King of Kings, and The Dawn of Battle singles with Warriors of the World? To keep up with the theme, I would've loved it if they took out the patriotic mumbo jumbo from WotW and put these songs in. Seriously. This single would've made a kickass opener for WotW.
It functions as 1 song, in that The Ascension is more of an intro. It tells the tale, of, well, a man's ascension to the throne of King of Kings, and his newfound power from the gods, and how he used that power. The song, in itself, is one of my favorite Manowar songs. It's really great. As a single, this thing owns. The keyboards are used QUITE well, and Manowar have FINALLY found a good production after Kings of Metal. Their pre-Kings of Metal was a bit messy, and their 1990's albums were too clean. Here, as with Warriors of the World, they hit the jackpot.
Again, I don't know why they didn't just put these songs in Warriors of the World, even IF they had to delay the release for ANOTHER 2 or so years. At least they wouldn't have had to put shit in that album like An American Trilogy and Fight For Freedom.
However, back to the single. It's great. I cannot find a single fault with it, aside from its short length. It's just great. Get it, some way. Download it, Itune it, or get Hell on Earth IV. Just get it. It's really great. Lots of keyboards, nice mid-fast speed, great lyrics about being the King of Kings.

Classic Bane. And surprisingly not a bad map, either. I got excited at one point because I've actually been to Wank, Germany.
My only concern with this map, other than its PG-13 content, is that it mystifyingly does not contain Dixville Notch, New Hampshire!!!

So I was just wondering if anyone had been to any of the places mentioned, like the left foot, I've been to Ellensburg WA and it said about 15 miles east of that, but from what I recall that is just the middle of nowhere, I also wondered if there was a story involved with how some of these places got there names.

An, ahem, interesting map, all place names containing some double entendre. Whether a lot of research has gone into it or whether the creator of this map has this kind of information at his fingertips (one suspects the latter) is a moot point, but worth a giggle in any case. Gameplay, such as is, is actually not bad at all, worth a quick battle.

Nice graphics, though I don't (visually) like the sharp edges of the territories in the chicken body.
Small playable map with no formal mistakes. There's no particular thrill (as when invading across the bering strait in medium earth...) but the geographic territory names give that little spice to the map.
I just played single player FFA with 4 AIs, and didn't chack any particular distribution mode so take this small review "as is": small and limited.

Introduction: Frisbee Shootout
My brother and I were at Williams College waiting for our sister's soccer clinic to end. We were on our way up to Maine for vacation and we had our cameras with us. We found some soccer nets, and we also found a frisbee on the ground.
We invented frisbee shootout.
Step 1: Number of Players
The minimum number of players that you need is two. My directions are for two people, and if you want to add more people; that is up to you to improvise.
Improvisation is the essence of inventing a sport.
Step 2: Objects Needed for Play
- Soccer net
- Frisbee
Step 3: Rules and Regulations
General Rules
- One goalkeeper, and one shooter.
- The shooter stands around the penalty marker on the soccer field. If there is no penalty marker, then choose a spot where the goalkeeper feels it is fair for you to shoot from.
- The shooter has ten shots to try and score the frisbee in the net.
- The goalkeeper has ten attempts to save the frisbee shot.
- The shooter can move left and right, but cannot pass the designated marker.
- When the frisbee goes in to the net, the shooter gets a point. The shooter must take track of how many out of 10 he/she has gotten in to the net. For example you can count: ( goals for tries- 1for1, 1fo2, 2for3, 3for4 and so on.)
- If the frisbee shot goes over the net, that counts as a miss.
- Once the shooter has shot 10 times, the goalkeeper and the shooter switch.
- The once goalkeeper is now the shooter and now the process starts over again.
- If the new shooter gets more in, he/she is the winner. If the new shooter gets less in, the first shooter is the winner.
- My brother and I settled a tie by a 5-shot challenge.
- You can settle it any other way that you choose.
Step 4: Tips
- Stand in the middle of the net.
- Rotate yourself on an axis according to the direction the shooter is moving.
- Try to cut off any angles the shooter may attempt to shoot at.
- Don't be afraid to get dirty. I was wearing my Sunday's best. It is now green with grass stains.
- Step with the hand you are throwing with.
- Aim for the corners. The corners are the hardest area for the goalkeeper to get to.
- Accuracy over speed. An accurate shot is better than once the is speeding fast at the goalkeeper.
- Keep moving to try and get the goalkeeper out of position for your shot.
Step 5: Action
Nice story but if it was you and youre brother waiting then who is the one with the camera??
Whoa! Spontaneously began playing a similar game with my friend yesterday, Googled it today, and lo and behold! Someone wrote an instructable on it last year!
Simultaneous invention strikes again!
sounds fun to try it in a penalty shootout format, but ive played full on frisbee soccer, its like ultimate frisbee but you shoot at soccer nets to score, its fun but it can suck to be goalie when people are really winging it at you, this sounds fun tho for sure
I used to play a game like this with the tae kwon do club- but to score a point the frisbee had to be at head height, and the goalie could only defend using the soles of your feet. Good training :) This reminds me of golden boot and golden glove, as well.
awesome, my friends and i play ultimate often, and this looks like a fun twist to the game, i never thought of introducing nets to ultimate or frisbee. thanks.
Cross this with Star Wars Kid, and you've got the game my brother and I used to play. We would throw a frisbee at the other's goal (but about 1/3 size of a soccer goal) and the defender could only bat it down with a thin tent pole about 5' long.
It was awesome.
Cool, great idea :D
I like playing Frisbee but mine always end up stuck in trees :P
5* and vote in contest :P
i'm gonna go play, even though its like dark out nice instructable!!!! 5/5 stars!!!!!!!!
Oh - and neat instructable. On the frizbee brand packaging, theres a similar variant that helps develop strength (distance) and accuracy. Two players stand in 3 square meter boxes, 13 meters apart.(closest boundaries are 13 meters). Players throw back and forth, as HARD as possible at each other trying to make the other person drop. If a throw is within the opponent's box is worth 2 points if uncaught, and no points if caught. The throw must not be above the catcher's reasonable jumping catch height, and must at least reach the opponent's box - use discretion. If it is thrown outside the defender's boundary, the thrower loses a point. If the defender catches the throw inside the box it is worth 2 points for the catcher. Outside the box is worth 3 points for the defender, because its more difficult to get the catch. It's highly advisable to play this game in a gymnasium, as you will be losing a lot of frisbees in the distance.
Wow, you have very good observations! We are mirror image twins. If my brother loses a tooth on one side, I lose it on the other side. My left eye is my bad eye, and my brother's right eye is his worse eye. It is weird.

Migrate from Zendesk to Salesforce Service Cloud
December 19th, 2015 | by Twain Taylor
Zendesk is a great helpdesk platform for companies that are just starting out and need a way to manage the inflow of tickets with a small Support team. It moves teams from working in email to a platform that is great at tracking support issues. However, Zendesk customers who experience rapid growth will quickly hit limitations when scaling their support organization to match. In these cases, they look for an alternative to Zendesk, which for many companies, turns out to be Salesforce Service Cloud. Read more »

It is both greedy and irresponsible for American corporations to allow untaxed cash to pile up on their balance sheets while American infrastructure crumbles, public education suffers, the unemployed struggle to survive and shareholders lose their investments. It's time for America's "job creators" to do their job. - http://silpol.tumblr.com/post/15450605309
Imho, public education suffers not from lack of cash.
omg, just tax unused cash in account
^^^ how about cutting other govt spending instead, e.g. on military?
^ how exactly taking more money out of the system via spending cuts can help the economy?
^^^ there's no point taking money from private pockets into gov't pockets as long as the gov't is *so* irresponsible spending it. no point to collect more taxes and waste it.
but companies think differently. they'd rather invest money than loose it to government

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'TV Show Talk' started by klang, Oct 12, 2011.
Thirteen episodes next year.
I do enjoy the show but I think maybe one more season will be enough.
I decided I gave it enough of my time. I just found that I was losing interest. Deleted.
If they do a good job of wrapping it up, it could be the best season next year and shift from a good enjoyable scifi show to having been a great one. If....
I really like Haven as well. And there are a lot of mysteries to resolve. You are right Phrelin, if they do it well, and then end it, it would be a great series!
I'm behind a few episodes this season but SyFy announced another 13 episodes for season 4. Link
I thought the story was about done but I guess not.
I too though that they were winding the story down with the upcoming event signaling her departure, but maybe not this time. I guess they didn't get the word on renewal soon enough to change the plot.
I never looked at it as winding the story down. The writers have made it clear that Duke and Audrey are looking for ways to keep her from leaving when the comet arrives, and I have no doubt the writers will come up with a good cliffhanger that makes it look like Audrey is "gone", with the next season starting with the "search" for Audrey...
They finished filming in September.
Yup, I follow Emily Rose and Eric Balfour on Twitter and saw the tweets. No reason it still can't play out like I said though.
That's about what I was thinking as well. And I am still enjoying the show, so I am happy it will be back!
I will say another take on this. I like Haven a lot and welcome a next season! But I think Haven is a fleeting "type" of series/show for SyFy. We lost Eureka with nothing to "replace" it except maybe some reality show (boo...) and same will go Haven after next season possibly. Along with Warehouse 13 eventually. They all will fall to be replaced by reality shows.
But who knows! Thanks SyFy for the renewal.
Great episode Friday night. The show seem to cut off early, did I miss anything important?
I think it ended with the reveal of the Bolt Gun Killer. Did you see that part?
No but I plan on catching the rerun. Thanks.
I kinda saw that one coming though...
Parker cannot seem to keep a friend, can she?
- Merg
Not unless it is of the male variety....

On my way to a friend's house in Newport Beach on Monday, I snuck in a visit to our favorite nursery: Roger's Gardens. In honor of the Season, they've got all sorts of holiday lights up. They also have a lot of fake Christmas trees. ???
OK, I won't judge.
While I was there, I picked up some more lettuce, so… the aging arugula in the vegetable box has got to go. Sorry, rugie, I still love you. I'll buy more of you next time I visit Roger's. Then I'll have Barry plant you.
What did I think I was going to do with a bunch of aging arugula, leftover prosciutto and an old shallot? I stared blankly at Barry for while, the same way our dog confusingly stares at me when I sing:
Pay no attention to the cardboard in her mouth… or the debris of toy by-products on the floor. When it was evident that Barry wasn't going to let me interrupt his morning latte / crossword puzzle / Sudoku routine, I looked back at my dog until I won the staring contest. Then I figured I'd start breakfast.
Enter the RGB omelet: egg + deli meat + leafy green + bulb + cheese.
Omelets are just supposed to be sleeping bags for refrigerator has-beens. Lucky you, the formal recipe is pretty good. Lucky me, I found a way to use the arugula I just yanked. Just know that chard, spinach, beet greens, pancetta, bacon, chevre, parmesan, feta, cheddar, triple cream, brie, mushrooms, sausage, bell peppers, tomatoes, etc. all work great too, if that's what you have.
Breakfast was good. Our omelets were enhanced with a tangerine per person and a glass of orange juice. Who needs Vitamin C tablets?! Unfortunately, now I get to balk at the calories I just consumed. Are we really talkin' 22g of fat in one omelet? 😯
Time to go plant more lettuce. [K]

Arugula, Prosciutto and Gruyere Omelet
Serves 2
~ Ingredients ~
- ½ tbsp. olive oil
- 2 oz. arugula, rinsed clean
- 1 ½ oz. gruyere
- 1 shallot
- 1 oz. chopped prosciutto
- 2 eggs
- ¼ tbsp. butter
- Optional: 1 tsp. herbs (e.g. chive, oregano, parsley, thyme, scallions)
- Optional: 1 tsp. sour cream
~ Preparation ~
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Chop shallot and set aside.
Finely grate gruyere and set aside. Larger grate won't melt in time.
Chop prosciutto and set aside.
Light beat 2 eggs with a fork in a prep bowl (adding herbs, if using); set aside.
Heat 7" non-stick skillet. Sauté shallot for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add arugula and cook another 3 minutes, until shiny and wilted. Throw in prosciutto to warm up; then place into prep bowl.
In same non-stick skillet, heat up half of the butter, and then add in half of the beat egg mixture. With a wooden spoon, swirl the egg around for a couple of seconds until the egg begins to set; then stop touching it. When the omelet begins to set, shake it loose and add in half of the gruyere cheese in a strip in the middle of the omelet. Then add half of the sautéed arugula mixture on top of that strip. Using a spatula, fold over a third of the omelet. Then slide it onto the plate while folding it a second time to make a tri-fold. Set the omelet with the seam-side down. Serve immediately. Plate immediately.
- Repeat step # 6 for second omelet; serve immediately.

Can't see the line in Static Mixer problem.
Dear all, I am the newcomer of CFX. Now I am using CFX 5.5.1. My OS is Windows2000. After finishing the installation process, I follow the "Running the Example" section, in "Getting Started with CFX-5" of "Installing and Introduction to CFX-5" manual. The result is all right.
To practice using CFX, first, I follow the tutorial in "CFX-5 Tutorials". I follow the instruction in "Tutorial 1: Flow in a Stator Mixer" step by step. After following the step to create the first curve, in "Creating the Main Body", The result in output command is "$# 1 Curve Created: Curve 1". However I cannot see that curve. I tried to follow the succeeding steps, I also cannot see the second line. But it seems like CFX recognize that there is that curve.
I delete all files contain in the working folder, then restart my PC. Then try to do those steps. However I got the same result. I try to do many ways but the result is still the same.
However, today, I do the same step, and I get that curve this time. I do not know why. Then I am not sure if it will occur again or not.
Can anyone explain to me about this?
Thank you very much.

Meet the ML63 AMG, the new power machine
A 2.4 ton behemoth with more than 550 horses on tap may sound like madness. However, the new ML63 AMG is all that
For the uninitiated, AMG is the performance tuning arm of Mercedes-Benz, which has been turning the German luxury brand's everyday cars into fire-spewing, insanely-powered monsters for ages now. The cars bearing the AMG badge boast more powerful engines, superior underpinnings, and faster lap times around a racetrack as compared to their base M-B models.
The latest to join the AMG brigade in India is the ML63 AMG SUV. While the base version of the car is one of the most comfortable and practical luxury SUVs on sale in India, the AMG variant packs in trademark AMG lunacy. Let's see what makes this big SUV worth Rs 1.5 crore.
A luxurious audio/video entertainment system for the back-seat passengers is available as an optional extra. Pics/Amit Chhangani
Better design
In profile, the V8 bi-turbo powered AMG version of the ML is significantly more powerful and expensive than the normal ML-Class — and this superiority in power and profligacy should be evident to the onlookers. So while the balanced basic proportions of the ML Class remain unaltered, the AMG parts infuse more power, belligerence and distinction to its exterior.
The four spoke flat-bottom AMG steering wheel has mounted pedals at the back for manual shifts
Body styling includes the more aggressive AMG front bumper with three large air intakes. There is a matt silver insert at the bottom of the front bumper to offer contrast. The LED daytime running lights are integrated above the outer air intakes. The AMG specific front wings, including the wheel arches, are wider, underlining the squat, more aggressive stance of the car.
The instrument cluster features a hi-resolution coloured screen. You can time your laps using the Racetimer feature
The V8 Biturbo lettering behind the fenders and the massive 20-inch lightweight alloys are the distinguishing elements. The footboard on the regular ML class is replaced by a side skirt here, forming a visual link between the front and the rear. At the rear, the bumper resonates the styling of the front apron with its three air outlets. A matt silver strip, like the one at the front, lines the bottom section of the rear bumper.
The AMG engines are handcrafted. In addition to the terrific performance on offer they are known for their great sound note
A performer to the core
Propelling this 2.4 ton machine is a 5.5-litre biturbo petrol engine with peak output rated at a colossal 560bhp between 5250-5750 rpm. It has a peak torque of 760 Nm between a wide rev-band of 2,000 to 5,000 rpm. The engine, though more efficient than the model it replaces, is still going to burn a big hole in your pocket for fuel bills.
The 0-100km/h is dispatched in 4.7 seconds, while the top speed is electronically limited at 250 km/h. AMG has also worked its magic on the underpinnings to ensure maximum grip and poise to turn the car into a track tool.
The AMG 5.5-litre engine is mated with the AMG Speedshift Plus 7G- Tronic automatic transmission. The seven-speed automatic transmission distributes power to all four wheels. You can choose between three modes — Controlled Efficiency (C), Sport (S) and Manual (M). Selecting Controlled Efficiency (C) mode activates the ECO start/stop function, which shuts off the eight-cylinder engine when the vehicle comes to a halt. In S and M modes, there are higher engine speeds, more spontaneous gear changes and faster shift times. Gears can be changed using the AMG shift paddles on the steering wheel.
To attain exceptional grip, Mercedes-AMG uses a specially designed transfer case for the 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive. This system distributes the drive to the front and rear axle at a ratio of 40:60 to attain dynamic handling. Its Active Curve System employs active anti-roll bars on front and rear axles to reduce body roll and enhance handling stability. The Ride Control sports suspension consists of air suspension with an adaptive damping system to handle driving conditions with ease.
Cosy inside
The ML63's cabin can be customised. In the standard trim, the dashboard, the armrests and the door panels of the car come draped in ARTICO leather with double topstitching in a contrasting colour. The AMG sports seats are covered with leather.
The four-spoke AMG performance steering wheel features leather in the grip area, has aluminium shift paddles and a flat bottom rim. The circular instruments have unique graphics, red needles, a 320 km/h speedometer dial and a characteristic AMG logo. The ML 63 AMG instrument cluster allows you to record lap times on private racing circuits in RACETIMER mode.
The standard equipment list boasts a neat sounding audio system with Bluetooth and USB interface. Tyre pressure monitoring system, headlamp cleaning system, electric sliding glass roof, heated seats for the driver and front passenger are some of the special features.
There are optional extras including rear seat entertainment system, Harman/Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system, Intelligent Light System, TV tuner, wood trim and individually crafted Designo interior.
Summing it up
The ML63 AMG is an outrageously expensive machine, meant to deliver devastating performance and supreme luxury to the outrageously rich mortals. If size matters to you, sans the vices in the form of weight and dynamic inability — the ML63 AMG should suit your taste just right.
Bells and whistles
>> AMG sports exhaust system
>> AMG speed-sensitive sports steering
>> AMG high-performance braking system
>> Attention Assist (Anti- Drowsiness feature)
Technical specs
Engine displacement— 5461 cc
Power — 560PS @ 5,250-5,750 rpm
Torque — 760 Nm @ 2,000-5,000 rpm
Top speed — 250 km/h (restricted)
Rs 1.52 crore
Audi Q7 4.2 TDI
The Q7 has been enchanting lovers of supersized SUVs since 2005. This machine is available with a 6.0 litre V12 diesel engine internationally. In India, we only have the 4.2 litre V8 TDI variant, which dwarfs the competition in terms of output figures. Three hundred and thirty five bhp of power may not sound astounding, but 800 Nm of torque sure does. Coupled with the legendary Quattro all wheel drive system, the Q7 is a fast car.
Price: Rs 76 lakh
New BMW X5
The latest version of the biggest SUV from the Bavarian carmaker has just made its debut in India. It's big, heavy and comfortable on the inside, yet drives in a manner that would put many a sports car to shame. Irrespective of the engine that propels the X5, it's guaranteed to enthrall you with its dynamic ability and sportiness. We'd like to replace the currently available 3.0 litre diesel engine with the 4.4-litre bi-turbo petrol unit with 450 bhp and 650 Nm though. Price: R71 lakh
Land Rover Range Rover Sport V8 SC
Even after being an SUV, the Range Rover Sport is meant to be "first and foremost a driver's car" according to Land Rover. It has a 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine. The power output is rated at 510PS, while peak torque produced stands at 625 Nm. RR Sport's weight savings, courtesy a first in class all-aluminium body structure, comes really close to the ML63 AMG in terms of power, and price.
Price: Rs 1.65 crore

Hot damn! This is one ridiculously good mascara. It does everything I want it to, and none of what I don't. And… it doesn't cost the earth. I cannot fathom the negative reviews I've read on some of the stockist's online stores. I am the pickiest consumer out there when it comes to mascara and this is my new favourite! So here I am, evening the score.
Without further ado I give you:
Revlon Ultimate All-In-One Mascara
My love affair with mascara has been rocky. Its more of a love/hate relationship. I can't live without it, but most mascaras fall well short of what I want them to do. In fact, a lot of them seem set to sabotage the rest of my makeup by smudging, transferring, running or refusing to come off when I do want it to.
Revlon Ultimate All-In-One Mascara is different.
It doesn't:
- Smudge
- Transfer
- Run
- Flake ( there are some reviews to the contrary – I can only speculate that too much product was applied – or the formula has changed recently)
- Clump
- Make you pull 'Mascara Face' in order to apply it
In fact, it stands up to its claim of '5 Lash Transforming Benefits' in one mascara.
- Volume
- Length
- Definition
- Lift
- Rich Intense Colour
It does this by employing what Revlon call a 'Power Mini Brush.' Which is marketing jargon for a very small version of a rubberised spooly. The wand is unique in that its hollow. Supposedly to help carry more product to your lashes. From what I can tell though, the product stays in the hollow and never applies to your lashes so is essentially a gimmick. It does a good job however of combing through the product.
I have to say I do love the tiny size of the brush. I'm always on the look-out for weeny mascara wands. Thats a very unpopular opinion from all the other reviews I've read. Everyone other than me must enjoy contorting their face to manoeuvre a huge wand into the corners of their eyes and then globbing product all over their eyelids despite the gurning. Big Wand ≠ Big Lashes. Its the formula that does that, honey.
And thats the real genius of Revlon Ultimate All-In-One Mascara. The Formula: Ultra Black, thick yet smooth and containing fibres to add bulk and length. Doesn't take long to dry, and you can really feel it set and 'lift.' If you curl your lashes I imagine this will hold a curl really well. I don't curl my lashes – they're curly naturally which is why I have such a problem with mascaras transferring.
The oddly shaped packaging is also kind of genius in that its ergonomic for left or right handed application and the 'fins' stop the damn wand from rolling off your vanity if you set it down.
Ok, enough of all that talk…You want to see this baby in action?
Here is Exhibit A: a before photo of my 'naked' eye.
Pale skin, light coloured hair and eyes means without mascara my eyes disappear into my head. You can see a colour version of this picture on Instagram.
The definition mascara gives to my face is essential to me looking myself. If you've seen the picture of Uma Thurman on the red carpet with minimal eye makeup and strong lips, then you'll understand just how different one can look without it.
BOOM! Lashes.
This is ONE COAT.
I wore it all day from about 10am to about 2am the following morning (staring at a bright computer screen makes me wide awake). No smudges. No transferring.
Actually thats a good point: When I work at my computer I'm often looking down then looking up and peering over specs. NOTHING makes mascara transfer more on me. So much so that I normally forgo wearing it on my bottom lashes for fear of creating a semi circle of black mascara 'freckles' through out the day as I'm looking down. Not so in this case. Mascara was still perfect in the wee hours and actually came off without any hassle (I used my DHC oil as usual) which was fantastic, because at 2am I wasn't up for a fight.
Revlon Ultimate All-In-One Mascara = True Love.
Alas, the Australia customer gets gauged again, paying a whopping 105% more for the same product than the American customer! REVLON! FOR SHAME.

Tips For Packing And Traveling With A Baby Or Toddler
We all look forward to getting away whether we are going to visit with family, relax on a beach or hit the slopes. However, along with the happy anticipation, travelers also share concerns about packing and what the airport and flights might hold in store. Add a baby to your travel plans and your happy anticipation is often replaced with anxiety and your normal travel concerns can turn to outright fear and dread.
Traveling with an infant is never going to be as easy as traveling without them, but proper planning and preparation will make your trip easier and more enjoyable. Here are some tips for packing and surviving enhanced airport security.
- Packing The Suitcase
- Packing The Carry-On Bag
- Clearing Enhanced Airport Security
- Dressing For Travel
- Infant Carriers, Strollers, and Car Seats
- Toys
- At The Airport
- Surviving The Flight
- Things I Wish I'd Thought Of Sooner
Packing The Suitcase
Babies need lots of clothes, diapers, supplies and gear to make it through the day. Be sure to pack everyday items that you take for granted. You'll be tempted to bring only the bare minimum, but not having enough clothes, wipes, bottles, or sippy cups can make for a more difficult, less comfortable trip.
Lighten your load by having your baby supplies delivered to your destination by Babies Travel Lite, www.babiestravellite.com. With over 1,000 name brand products at competitive prices you can shop online for all the things you will need and have them waiting for you at your destination be it a hotel, vacation home or Grandma's house. This is a great way to make traveling easier.
There are three things that you should always do whether you're traveling for two days – or two weeks.
- Plan for your trip well in advance. Visualize how your trip will unfold and try to anticipate your baby's needs. Make sure you'll have the right clothes in the right size. Think about what gear you might need. Either arrange to have it waiting for you at your destination, or if you're bringing it, make sure you have specialty bags so your gear is travel ready.
- Create a packing list and use it. List everything you think you'll need. Include even the most obvious items so nothing gets left behind in the final rush. Check off each item as you pack. Before you lock the front door review the list one last time to be sure you didn't miss anything.
- Prepare for the unexpected. It may be easy for you to adjust; it's not so easy for your baby. Weather forecasts are often wrong and indoor temperatures are unpredictable. Pack a variety of clothing to keep your baby comfortable in case it's hotter or colder than you anticipated.
If you're traveling by air, don't overlook airline baggage restrictions. Check with your carrier about the limitations, restrictions and extra charges that might apply, and pack accordingly.
Packing The Carry-On Bag
In addition to worrying about what you'll need when you arrive, you need to make sure you have the necessities while en route. You must be prepared for unexpected delays and unanticipated problems with your children. Be happy if you're lucky enough to arrive with your baby bag still full. At a minimum, always make sure you have, at least, the following when you board:
- Full bottle or sippy cup – Accessible for take-off and landing
- Diapers – 24 hour supply
- Baby Wipes – Minimum 40 wipes
- Formula – 48 hour supply (don't forget the bottled water if you use powder)
- Extra Bottle – One clean bottle just in case
- Baby Food & Snacks – 2 day supply (don't forget the spoon!)
- Change of Clothes – 2 complete outfits
- Medicine –All required medication & consider bringing some Tylenol or Motrin
- Blanket
- Sweater or Light Jacket
- Gallon Zip Lock Bags – Minimum 3 bags (great for holding soiled items)
- Baby Lotion – Great way to hide smells in case of an on board baby emergency
- Toys for your child – Think about how you'll amuse them in the airport and on the flight
Clearing Enhanced Airport Security
Traveling alone or with your partner clearing airport security can be a major annoyance, but add a child or two and clearing security can become disastrous. Here are some tips that will improve your chances of avoiding disaster. Keep in mind that the only thing that is certain about the specific security regulations that impact the traveling family is that the regulations are subject to change without notice and that even if you understand the regulations, enforcement may not be consistent. Always check with your airline or check www.tsa.gov before you travel because the rules can and do change constantly. There is currently a ban on bringing liquids, cremes, and gels through airport security check points. Each traveler may carry through security individual items that are no more than 3 ounces each and all of your items must fit comfortably in a quart-size, clear plastic, zip-top bag (which you must supply). This rule has significant impact if you're traveling with a small child. Here is a quick survival guide.
Take a close look at your diaper bag. Well in advance of your departure date, inventory the contents of your diaper bag. There are things in your bag you don't think about that will be an issue – hand sanitizer, sunscreen, diaper creme. When it's time to travel, make sure all of the items that won't go in the quart size zip-top bag are packed into your checked luggage so you don't loose them at the security check point.
Liquid prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger's ticket will be allowed. The name on the medication must match the name on the boarding pass. In addition, you may bring up to 4 oz. of essential non-prescription liquid medications. Make sure you check the size of your bottles so you don't loose your medicine.
Infant formula or breast milk is exempted from the liquid ban. The formula must be presented for inspection and you must be traveling with the infant. Consider bringing enough powdered formula to cover you in the worst case scenario where your formula is confiscated and/or your flights are severely delayed.
Prepare for big crowds and long waits. Make sure you bring things for your child to play with, be prepared to amuse them while you're in line, and also, make sure you have drinks and snacks. You could be in line for several hours without any way to obtain supplies.
Use disposable beverage containers for the drinks you have while you wait to clear security. You will have to throw it away when you reach the security check point.
Bring an empty bottle or sippy cup and purchase the beverages you'll need for your flight in the airport after you clear security, but before you board. Remember your baby or toddler needs to drink during take-off and landing to avoid ear problems. A sippy cup or bottle is perfect for this.
Make a plan for how you'll go through the security check point. It may sound ridiculous, but screeners follow strict rules that can create chaos for the unsuspecting traveling family. Not enough hands to take care of all that needs to be done, restricted movement and impatient people waiting behind you can turn the simple tasks described below into monumental undertakings.
- Babies must be out of infant carriers (yes even if they are blissfully and quietly sleeping)
- All children must be out of strollers
- All of your belongings must pass through the x-ray machine, or if anything is too big to fit it must be inspected
- Once a person passes thru the detector they cannot return to the side where they started (nope you can't take one child through and go back for another)
- All pockets need to be emptied into a tray
- Shoes and belts need to be removed. Could be everyone or just a select few family members
- Everything needs to be reversed once your family and all your belongings have been cleared to proceed
- Screeners will not assist you with your belongings
- Screeners will not assist you with your children
Traveling with your baby or toddler requires thorough planning and much patience, but the reward is easier and more enjoyable travel.
Tips For Dressing For Travel
Remember, it's more important to be comfortable than fashionable when flying. This goes for you as well as your children. Resist the urge to dress your traveling baby in something that is adorable but uncomfortable. Remember that it will be a long day for everyone in the airport and in an airplane seat; try to find soft fabrics, clothes without tight elastic and clothes that don't have buckles or other things that will hurt when your baby sleeps in your lap or in his seat.
You should dress in layers in case your baby spits up or your toddler causes a spill.
Airports can often be chilly and some airlines seat families with children at the rear of the airplane where it happens to be hot. Dress your traveling baby in layers so you can better control their environment.
Avoid clothing that will make clearing security at the airport more difficult. Stay away from belts with large buckles and other metal accessories that will set of the detectors at the airport. Steer clear of shoes that are difficult or time consuming to get off and put back on—people will be surprisingly impatient as you try to take care of your family.
Infant Carriers, Strollers And Car Seats
If you are traveling with an infant and you didn't buy them their own seat on the airplane, bring your infant carrier and check it at the gate, not the curb or the ticket counter. Having use of the carrier in the airport will make family travel easier for you and your baby.
Bring your stroller and check it at the gate, not the ticket counter. Most airports require long walks to gates, baggage claim and exits. The stroller will make getting around much easier. Also, by checking it at the gate you can have use of your stroller during any layovers. Consider purchasing a stroller bag to use when you check your stroller, to protect it from getting damaged at the airport or on the airplane.
Children or infants traveling in their own seat on the airplane may use an FAA approved child safety seat. Consider bringing your child's car seat or infant carrier. Having your child or infant sit in their own car seat on the airplane can make family travel more pleasant for everyone.
If you're bringing your infant carrier or car seat on the airplane, make sure you're familiar with how to use a lap type seat belt to secure it to the airplane seat. All seats brought on to the airplane must be secure before takeoff. Trying figure out how to secure it, in tight quarters, while taking care of your child, is something you definitely want to avoid.
Baby Travel Toys
When flying with an infant, bring the blanket and anything else you normally use to keep them warm and calm. Bring a few of their favorite small toys for them to hold and play with on the plane. Familiar things can make family travel less traumatic.
When flying with a toddler, buy a few new toys to pique their interest. Let them see the toys for the first time at the airport or during the flight. Wrapping might seem like fun, but the Transportation Safety Administration advises against traveling through the airport with wrapped presents.
Hide a couple of favorite toys a few weeks before your trip then pull them out on the airplane or at your destination for an added surprise.
Here are a few toys that parents have found work well on airplanes.
- Favorite teddy bear or soft toy
- Crayons and coloring books
- Storybooks
- Stickers
- Small plastic toys such as cars, dolls or animals (Fisher Price Little People work well)
- Travel Magna Doodle or Aqua Doodle toys are great
- Toddler electronic games – V Smile or Leapster have great battery life and many different games they can play.
- Portable DVD player with DVD's – Great for the amusement value, but you must be aware of the battery life and manage the flight and your child's expectations accordingly. You might try to save this as the last resort.
At The Airport
Try using a backpack as your carry-on so you can have your hands free to tend to your baby. A backpack with wheels can give you the option of wheeling your gear through the airport when it's more convenient.
Purchase the beverages you'll need for your children on the airplane. With the liquid ban in place, only infant formula, breast milk and juice are allowed through security. You should purchase water to fill sippy cups and milk for bottles before you board the airplane. Whole milk is usually available at the airport in coffee stores. You can bring an empty thermos through security and fill it before you board the airplane. Being dependent upon flight crews for your beverage needs is risky.
Most airlines don't pre-board families with small children anymore. If your airline doesn't, ask the desk clerk at the gate for assistance placing your car seat in your seat on the plane before they start boarding. While you're at it, ask them to place anything else that is bulky in an overhead bin. You should also ask if you can gate check your stroller just before boarding instead of at the airplane door. This will leave your hands free to navigate your child to his seat on the airplane.
When you are first on and last off the airplane you can usually get additional assistance from the flight crew.
Utilize the long walkways in the airport while you wait for your flight and during layovers. Supervise your child as they burn off some energy exploring the airport.
Always change your baby's diaper right before boarding the airplane. Changing diapers on an airplane is definitely more difficult.
Surviving The Flight
Many babies and children experience pressure in their ears during flights, especially during take off and landing. Encourage your child to suck and swallow by taking a drink. This should equalize the pressure. Try to ensure they are thirsty by not giving them a drink close to takeoff or landing. Chewing gum or a soft piece of candy works well for older kids.
When you arrive at your seat on the airplane think about what you will need while you wait to take-off and immediately after take-off but before you can move about the cabin. Make sure all of your necessities are at your finger tips. Drinks, snacks, wipes and a few toys are usually a must. Use the space in front of your seat, including the seat pouch.
Airplane air conditioning can cause babies and young children to become dehydrated so always have a full sippy cup and encourage your child to drink often.
If you are a breastfeeding mother, be careful not to get dehydrated. Take a few sips on a regular basis to ensure this doesn't happen.
Keep track of the time back home so you can keep your traveling baby on their normal schedule. Try to adjust feeding and sleeping times gradually. Traveling babies don't adjust feeding and sleep times easily, if at all.
Things I Wish I'd Thought Of Sooner
If your baby normally has their formula or baby food warm, start working to get them accustomed to what they'll be able to eat while at the airport and on the airplane. Getting formula or baby food heated will in all likelihood be impossible. Better that you get them adjusted before you're traveling.
Buy specialty baby travel gear that will make the trip easier. Visit a site like Babies Travel Lite, www.babiestravellite.com, to purchase special travel bags for baby gear, special bags for on the airplane, a variety of products that make taking a car seat and your kids through the airport a breeze and other specialized travel products.
If you're traveling with a recently potty trained toddler consider putting on a Pull-Up immediately before boarding the airplane to avoid any on-board accidents. No matter how dependable your toddler is you must remember that on a flight there are often times when you are not allowed out of your seat or all of the lavatories are full.
Bundle your changing supplies together before you leave for the airport. Place a few diapers, wipes, disposal bags and disposable changing pads into a 1 or 2 gallon zip closure bag so when you need to do a diaper change you're not searching for what you need. This will make diaper changes in the airport and on the flight much easier.
Traveling with a baby is always difficult and following the above tips will not eliminate the pain or trauma, but being prepared and learning from the experience of others will definitely enhance your family travel experience.

Golden Eagles Clinch State Championship!
Cy Falls Boys Win First-Ever State Basketball Title
The Cypress Falls High School boys' basketball team came back from a first-half deficit and survived a late-game run by San Antonio Wagner to win the school's first-ever UIL Class 6A state championship, 63-57, on March 11 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
The Golden Eagles (35-3) capped a historic season in dramatic fashion, rebounding from a 19-11 disadvantage to take control in the second and third quarters and distance themselves from the Thunderbirds.
Wagner came within 3 points in the fourth quarter, but clutch free-throw shooting from Cypress Falls (32 of 40 for 80 percent) sealed the result.
"[I'm feeling] everything. Every emotion," said Coach Rich Flores. "We squeezed everything out of this basketball season that we could. It was so much fun to be able to practice with these guys on the very last day of the season and take the title here today.
"Hard work pays off," Flores continued. "It was the togetherness and toughness we talked about. Genuinely caring for each other, wanting your teammates to succeed. We preached those things to our players, and if they were willing to buy in we knew there were no limits. I'm just glad we could represent Houston and bring one back."
Cypress Falls High School junior Nigel Hawkins was named the MVP with an 18-point, 4-steal performance in which he shot 10 of 12 from the free-throw line.
"Ever since last year when we got knocked out, this was one of my goals," Hawkins said. "I put it above my bed on a note card. I worked hard for it. It's a blessing and I couldn't do it without my teammates. I think it's going to hit me harder later."
Junior teammate Trajan Wesley led all scorers with 20 points on an emotional date. His late mother, Monica, passed away 10 years ago to the day on March 11, 2007.
"I can't explain it," he said. "Even though she couldn't be here, she was here in spirit. This is for her."
Flores, whose wife, Virginia, coached the Cypress Woods Lady Wildcats to the girls' state championship in 2015, thanked the Golden Eagle faithful for filling the Alamodome with loud cheers.
"It was a great moment for our kids, but also for our fans," he said. "It was great to see so much green and gold out there and the support we had. A lot of people drove in today just to see this game. They stepped up for us."

Mysterious Disease in Pangasinan related to Prophecy of Sadhu Sundar?
In ABS-CBN's Bandila, on Monday, February 24, 2014, it featured 2 stories of mysterious disease in the province of Pangasinan that seems to be concurrent with the prophecy of Vincent Selvakumar and Jesus Ministries founder Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj.
In his prophecy last April 2013 at Cuneta Astrodome for the 24th National Prayer Gathering that a severe disease will unfold and it will spread all over the world. Consuming the flesh of men and will pierce through the bones. He said that this disease will begin from Pangasinan, Philippines.
"The Lord says there is a place called PANGASINAN. The Lord says it is in the northernmost part in your land. From there a grievous disease will spread all over the world. That will consume the flesh of men; all their upper (outer) skin will begin to decay. It will pierce through the bones. The fear of this disease will spread all over the world. The Lord said that this (disease) will begin from the Philippines."
"This will then spread to CEBU."
Bro. Vincent Selvakumar and Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj revealed the prophecy to advise Filipinos that these will come true if people will not repent and pray.
"If you don't repent and pray, God has planned much destruction all over the Philippines which are very disastrous. The cup of God's wrath over the Philippines is very very disastrous. There will be much disaster all over the land. The Lord will give you over to flood and waters. The Lord will torture your land with typhoons and hurricanes. The Lord will plague the land with diseases. The Lord will punish your land with famine and scattering," Sadhu said.
Meanwhile, apart from the said grievious disease, Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj also pedicted the tsunami in Japan and the super-typhoon Yolanda that wrecked Samar and Leyte.
After the part 1 of the news aired, it trended online, with an appeal for prayers.

I also see a part of my work is in distilling sweeping movements and shifts into digestible and practical steps that create more sustainable and whole new ways of seeing ourselves, being ourselves, and freeing ourselves.
What comes naturally to me presents a challenge for many, just as what comes naturally for many of you presents a far greater challenge than you might imagine for me! As a part of the radiant expansion of my life's work, combined with my deep desire to spark a creative "REVOLUTION OF LOVE," which I have talked about since 2009, I made the decision to share these systems for life and life's work with you. I pulled it all together, in 2015 releasing my book All Systems Go. Each of the 24 dynamic and sustainable systems offers eight Momentum Action Pathways, providing mini-MAPs for exploration, expression, and expansion.
The purpose of the three master system sets (SEEDS, STAR, and SEA systems), each comprised of 8 Map Systems, is a reconnection to WHAT MATTERS MOST — Your Essential Self, Journey, and Truth. As you connect to your essential self, journey, and truth through these systems and the 3 Pathways, you expand radiantly from within. I'm working now on a graphic representation of the systems. When that's available, just click the home page graphic or icons to access each map system. I invite and encourage you to adapt them, trusting your own inner guidance to inform your own radiant expansion from within.
You can also look for the Map System e-books pictured below on each system page (books will be released one at a time over the next several months). These books will provide a solid introduction to each map system and include sample SEEDS, STAR, and SEA tools and practices. Use the sidebar to navigate to the appropriate system page to learn more (details will be posted on map pages when books are released) or search Amazon here.
