The Coolest Toys From C2E2: Kingdom Hearts, Marvel, Star Wars, And More
By Mat Elfring | @ImMatElfring on
Recently, Chicago held C2E2, the yearly convention that celebrates comic books, collectibles, cosplay, and anything nerdy under the sun. It truly was a fantastic three-day event for the Midwest. In addition, there were a ton of toys at the event, including a whole lot of Dragon Ball Z figures. It was sensory overload for fans of collectibles.
Throughout the show, booths like Bluefin and Diamond showed off their wares to the public, displaying some fantastic toys and figures from the worlds of Power Rangers, Kingdom Hearts, Gundam, Marvel, Star Wars, and more. This included multiple versions of the same characters. Here are some of the coolest figures we saw displayed at C2E2.
If you're looking for more on C2E2, check out our discussion with writer Brian Michael Bendis, who detailed his journey from Marvel to DC. Also, if facial hair is your thing, we talked to writer/artist Patrick Gleason about Robin's mustache in the current Superman comic. And don't forget about the cosplay!

Mathura, Mar 17 (PTI) A man, involved in the murder of a Uttar Pradesh minister's relative, and a sub-inspector were injured in an encounter near Akbarpur here early today, police said.
Radha Charan, who hails from Gohari village here and at present lives in Haryana's Palwal, was avoiding arrest in connection with the murder case, SP City Aditya Kumar Shukla said.
He is allegedly involved in the killing of former village head of Gohari Sarman Chaudhary, a relative of Minister for Minorities Welfare, Culture and Haj Laxmi Narayan Chaudhary. The former village head was shot dead on January 14.
Acting on a tip-off, a SWAT team tried to nab Charan near Akbarpur, but fired at the police, resulting in injury toSub Inspector Rohit Kumar, Shukla said.
Charan got injured in a retaliatory firing by police, he said.
Both the injured police officer and the accused have been hospitalised, the SP said.
One motorcycle, one pistol and cartridges were recovered from the possession of accused, he said.
The police have so far arrested six accused in this case and only Charan's son Dharmveer is still absconding, the SP added

Since the introduction of the Austbreck Gas Tension Device (GTD), over a decade in service has seen further development and adaption evolving to a unit that has reached exceptional levels of reliability and performance.
The GTD is offered as an alternative to conventional weights and pulley units for the automatic tensioning of overhead contact line systems.
The GTD consists of a piston cylinder. Force is transmitted from the piston to the overhead contact wire by means of a piston rod and crosshead, so that compression in the piston rod is turned into tension in the line. Then the piston is pressurised by nitrogen and acts on the piston diameter that is enclosed in a large cylinder as a reservoir. The volume of this reservoir may be varied by incorporating inert filler rods into the space. In this way the pressure/volume characteristics of the gas may be matched exactly to the individual contact wire tension length. The piston sealing action is performed by an oil seal.
Advantages of the GTD
- Accurate Maintenance of overhead line tension
- Reduced maintenance compared with conventional weigh and pulley systems
- Resistant to vandalism
- Inherent damping of the line, so reducing transmitted vibration
- Less Visual impact than weights and pulleys
- Requires less space than weights and pulleys – important in tunnels
Three different stroke units are available – 500mm, 900mm, 1200mm with different lengths of overhead line. Tension forces may be varied to suit the tension required in the line, up to a maximum of 30kN
Weight of each unit:
- 500mm – 95kg
- 900mm – 125kgs
- 1200mm – 138kg
Ambient temperature from -40c to +60c
Gas charge – commercial grade nitrogen
Optional features on request.

Harrington in his comfort zone
Padraig Harrington took full advantage of a benign course set up to top the home challenge in the Irish Open.
The Dubliner spotted that Royal Portrush had been set up for nightmare conditions and cruised around comfortably in light winds and sporadic early showers.
The three time major winner three putted his final hole for par but still fired an effortless five under par 67 to trail leaders Jeev Milkha Singh and Gregory Bourdy by two shots.
He said: "I basically holed just one decent putt today – I two-putted the first three par fives for birdies, chipped in on eight and hit it stone dead on three for the others.
"So when you do that and shoot three under par it means you weren't under much stress. It all felt pretty relaxed out there.
"I think today they set up the golf course pretty easy with the weather forecast – and why does anybody ever believe an Irish weather forecast?
"Everybody looks at the forecast, but I never do. It just baffles me.
"Obviously the referees have to do that, but you didn't feel in any way it was tricked up. You felt like you had a chance on every hole out there."
The bad weather did arrive in mid-afternoon, with the threat of lightning causing play to be suspended for 95 minutes.
But by then Harrington and the other pace-setters were safely in the clubhouse, reflecting on a glut of good early scores – 61 of the 78 morning starters shot par or better.
But despite the low scoring, Ireland's triple Major winner insisted the tournament felt just like an Open Championship, especially with the sell-out 27,000 pressing close to the players.
They will have to get used to it, as that attendance will be repeated over each of the next three days in the European Tour's first toal sell-out.
Harrington added: "I think the golf course and the venue, and the people, just everything about it would be a great venue for The Open.
"I don't think in any shape or form this golf course fails on its tee to green ability.
"Can they move the people around the golf course? There are a number of tight spots to fit a lot of people through, but they can have a look at that this week.
"But I'm not the person to comment on the drawbacks. I'm really only capable of commenting on the venue and the golf course, and it really is awesome.
"It's a joy to play this golf course, it really is a super course. It's got a lot of testing golf shots on it, but it also gives you something if you hit a good shot. It rewards you out here.
"You feel like, hey, if I hit a good shot here I'm going to make a birdie."
Harrington's opening effort contained six birdies, and just one bogey, on the tricky fourth hole.
His score was matched by playing partner Simon Dyson, with the defending champion overcoming a sloppy start that saw him bogey their opening hole, the par five tenth.
He bounced back with four birdies and a brilliant eagle at the 528 yards second, where he hit his three wood second shot to three feet.
Bourdy took full advantage of the local knowledge he picked up from Darren Clarke as a seven under par round of 65 moved him into the joint lead alongside Singh.
The Frenchman carded a superb seven under par first round of 65 late in the day to join Singh at the top of the leaderboard and equal the course record at the Dunluce Links, just as the Indian had done earlier on a weather-affected opening day.
After playing his practice round on Tuesday alongside Royal Portrush regular Clarke, Bourdy did not sign for a single bogey as he racked up seven birdies in front of record crowds, with 23,283 attending the opening day.
Play was suspended for 95 minutes midway through the opening round of the first Irish Open to be held in Northern Ireland since 1953, but Singh came in just before the delay and set the pace early on thanks chiefly to a six under par front nine of 30.
Bourdy then followed suit, and he had a certain local hero to thank for his success.
"I played with Darren on Tuesday and it was great," he said. "He gave me a lot of advice, and it was fantastic to play with a guy who won The Open the year before, on his home course too.
"He knows the course really well, and he was great with me on Tuesday. For sure, it helped me a lot today and I'm going to thank him. I will try to play the same game tomorrow and for the rest of the week."
There were six players a shot off the lead on six under par, with France's Edouard Dubois, Oscar Floren of Sweden, Englishmen Mark Foster and Andrew Marshall, Mikko Ilonen of Sweden and Matthew Zions of Australia all tied for third place.
World Number Two Rory McIroy was five shots off the lead going into the second day after a two under par round of 70, while Graeme McDowell and Clarke were a shot further back on one under.

Pulping Workshop III Innovates New Way of Staff Training
Recently, operators in Pulping Workshop III received a phone text message from the director-Guo Xin, the general idea of which was that if the water level of ejector condenser is too high, it means that the inclined screening butterfly valve is blocked. When you encounter this situation, just push the valve, or else the water will enter the big grind causing it to stop. The staff showed great appreciation for this kind of new training mode. They consider that it will not only improve the training effect but also bring harmonious relationship between the managerial staff and operators, thus further enhancing the team cohesion for workshop production.

As part of their regular feature called "The Connectors", presenter (and blogger) Catherine Nelson-Pollard discussed the My Big Geneva website with Michael Shevlin (another blogger and local teacher), and as a side note also mentioned my own blogs. What an honour!
The My Big Geneva website is a fantastic source of information, and quite rightly the focus of a programme discussing expat experiences here, as it has a ton of articles on what to do in Geneva. Before talking directly to Emilie and Carla of My Big Geneva, Catherine mentioned my blogs as an example of a British expat who blogs about life in Switzerland.
I always find it incredibly flattering whenever anyone mentions my blogs, as with my recent interview on the Expat Dads Who Blog series on the Geneva Family Diaries website. It humbles me just to know that people read what I write, and I sincerely hope that what I blog about can help other people in some small way.
I would like to express my thanks to Catherine and WRS in general for mentioning my blogs, which are also linked from their website. In return, I would like to encourage others to tune in to WRS, either through 101.7 FM in the Geneva region or by streaming through their website. Listening to shows such as The Connectors can help you find information from other expat sources that could be interesting or even helpful to you.
Below is a list of websites and blogs run by other expats here in Switzerland:
Geneva Family Diaries
- I've mentioned my appreciation for this website in past articles, after they first came to my attention when they asked me to do an interview for their series on Expat Dads Who Blog. Michela runs a very tidy and information-packed website that is mainly focused on Geneva but also stretches to the surrounding areas, and is a great source to check if you want to find out what's going on in the coming days or weeks.
Know It All Passport
- The Know It All Passport is a guide book for English-speakers in the Geneva and Vaud regions of Switzerland, and this website supports the book with expanded information and articles. As you would expect with a guide book and an accompanying website, it is absolutely jam-packed with information on what to do and where to go in these areas of Switzerland. Having read some sample pages, I think this just might be next on my list of books to read!
Lausanne Mom
- A brilliant website written my Meta, an expat mother of two who lives in Lausanne and blogs about very wide-ranging subjects related to daily life in Lausanne as well as things to see and do in other parts of Switzerland. She also has loads of great ideas for things to do with kids, with many articles on craft ideas that will come in very handy during the winter months when the kids can't go outside!
Linda - Lost in Switzerland
- This was a cracking blog by Linda who moved to Switzerland from her native Sweden. She blogged about her views on things in life, which were often unrelated to Switzerland, but amongst the articles about fashion or movies she liked there were some real gems, such as "Sweden vs Switzerland", where she compared the pros and cons of the two countries (Sweden won). Sadly she no longer blogs here as she moved back to Sweden earlier this year, but historically it's still a good read.
Living in Nyon
- This blog is written by The Connectors presenter Catherine Nelson-Pollard herself, providing a view of life in Nyon from a British expat. Lots of information about life in Switzerland can be found here, as well as articles for tourists visiting the area and upcoming events. It's another website that I wish I had found out about sooner, and this is now firmly in my list of sites to follow. Catherine also runs a blog about life in Switzerland called "The Perpetual Expatriate", giving her view on life here.
- This is a web magazine written with expat mothers in mind, that aims to share information amongst international women living here in Switzerland, with topics ranging from daily life to fashion tips. It's an interesting read, even from a male perspective!
Mr Shev
- A blog written by Michael Shevlin, who was part of the WRS The Connectors broadcast that mentioned my blogs, on his views on life, which are written with a kind of humour that strikes a chord with me (quote from his Snow Driving Tips article in January: "...the motherland has had a couple of inches of snow so the whole country has come to a complete standstill and people have started eating their pets..." - funny stuff!). A good read that will make you chuckle.
One Big Yodel
- Written by an American living in Switzerland, this is a useful and often humorous look at life in here, albeit in the German part of the country. A good read and full of useful info, it's a good place to go for English-speaking expats.
Your Swiss Life Line
- A website dedicated to helping people who are moving to Switzerland, with helpful info on orientation and how to settle in and adjust to life here - why have I only just found out about this site?? It has loads of useful blog articles that would probably have come in handy to me had I read them over three and half years ago! If you are in the same situation as I was - i.e. about to move to Switzerland - I sincerely recommend this blog!
A useful list of blogs from expats here in Switzerland is also available through the Expat Blog website, here.
If you've come to my blog from the WRS website then thank you very much for your interest in me, and feel free to browse my blog entries! :)

"Sharing and giving." The hallmarks of Facebook. When this page called "Gusto" was born in the wee early morning hours on April 9th, 2010, it was an epiphany of sorts, a spontaneous "flash" of inspiration. Ironically,"Gusto" isn't an imaginary word for merely clever effect. He's REAL, a name given to him by his father as a young boy growing up on a small Midwest American farm. From the beginning, and for many months afterward, the baby surrounded himself with aRead more →

I've been asked by some on my Facebook page called Gusto about how I came to be on the path I'm on. Normally, I wouldn't be writing something like that here, since this website is designed primarily in providing stories of inspiration.

Have you ever watched the movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness" starring Will Smith? In it, there's a famous scene where Will's character as a father was on a basketball court with his young boy.

The boy threw the ball down and hung his head. And then Will walked up to him andRead more →

Do you believe that "things happen for a reason?" That there's such a thing as "divine intervention?" Whether you do or don't, perhaps the following story will lead you to think otherwise.

If you've ever hurt anyone, be it physically, emotionally, financially, or whatever, this story is meant for you. The scars and the emotional pain can sometimes linger for years. If those who've been hurt have truly forgiven you and you've both moved on, then good for you! However, as many of us know, life doesn't always work that way.

As two highly organized Type A control freaks, we didn't think we could appreciate the existence of lists any more than we already do. But this week NOW Magazine published a series of lists and, after finding ourselves included in Glenn Sumi's Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2012, we have decided that lists are mankind's greatest invention and that everything should be in list form, especially when it is ranking how great things are and we are included in the top 10 of said list.
So, in the spirit of list-loving and year-end roundups, we bring you a list of Two Weird Ladies' 10 Weirdest Moments of 2012. (Some of these are more experiences than moments, but the word "moments" sounded better, OKAY?)
10. The many things that went wrong on the Fringe stage
If you saw our show, you probably thought we executed every dance move and delivered every joke with such precision and professionalism that you were tempted to file a Freedom of Information request with the government to see if we were prototypes for un-starve-able comedian robots. But there were many times that, beneath the on-stage shtick, our real selves were mentally managing heart palpitations. One afternoon poor old Manders leapt onto stage only to realize she had forgotten her ukulele pick and had to awkwardly strum our opening number with her fingers. One night my nose started bleeding halfway through the set and I had to plough through, singing, dancing, reciting monologues and even accosting members of the audience all while hoping there was not nasal blood streaming down my face. But these travesties, matched with runaway sound cues, flubbed lines and a wandering spotlight, could not stop us from being, like, the greatest and prettiest and funniest people ever.
9. Doing sketch comedy with microphones on the street in rush hour
When we booked the 6pm performance slot at the local market we didn't imagine ourselves standing on a cement stoop at Bathurst and Dundas, performing sketch with handheld microphones so we could be heard over the squealing streetcars filled with gawking commuters. As awkward as it was to hear our songs about Nana being an idiot for believing in the afterlife echoing through the busy intersection, we ended up meeting some great Fringe performers who kindly came and saw our show.
8. Our talk show-style interviews
After being part of Larry Smith's Talk Show – which involved us delivering rambling answers as the vaudevillian comic with a migraine drew caricatures of us in the tiny Hamilton bar that served $2 pints of "Fringe Party Beer" – we didn't think things could get any weirder. But then we booked a slot on Mullet's Night Show. Mullet is a zombie clown. I am terrified of clowns. I booked this show, partly because it's a great show, partly because I didn't want to hold Mandy back, partly because I thought the zombie factor would make the clown less scary because it meant the clown had, at one point, died and partly because I am an idiot. It is hard to endear yourself to a room full of zombie clown fans when you can't make eye contact with the host and almost cry onstage.
7. Making some money by doing sketch comedy
Anyone who does sketch knows this does not happen. It's not like we made enough to quit our jobs and start shopping at Whole Foods, but we were able to pay off our expenses, give bonuses to the people who helped us and cover our bar tabs. Fringe claims all proceeds go back to the performers but really they go straight to the Fringe bar.
6. Pretending to jerk off in front of our bosses
We both work fancy office jobs at which we sign off corporate emails with phrases like "Best regards" and have to go to meetings and wear pants made of tweed. Our kind, supportive directors and VPs took time out of their busy family lives to come see a glimpse of this secret comedy thing we do. What they got was us performing jerk-off motions, dropping the c-word, Mandy pretending to be mentally challenged and a scene about, well, us wanting to quit our office jobs. It was awkward. But then we both got promotions.
5. Eating a cold turkey drumstick in front of a live audience
Behind every Weird Lady is a weird director who decides nothing would be more hilarious than making someone with aversions to cold poultry and messy hands grab a chunk of meat and chew on it for a minute and a half in front of 108 people. Instead of flowers, Professional Director Kirsten Gallagher brought an insulated lunch bag containing a $9 smoked turkey drumstick to our final Fringe performance in Toronto. Mandy ate it begrudgingly. She will probably find it hilarious one day, assuming she gets dementia.
4. Being confronted by an animal rights activist
During the aforementioned Larry Smith Talk Show, when asked about our director we casually mentioned that she was currently in Vietnam and had posted a photo from her travels of some horse sushi. After returning to our table of $2 Fringe Party Beer, we were approached by a lady kind enough to tell us we had better watch what we say because people should NOT eat horses and, by the way, did we have any idea of the inhumane conditions horses used to face before being slaughtered when horse meat was available in North America? She began a gory description of horse butchery when Stage Manager Jesse asked her to please stop. I'm glad she did. She was making me hungry.
3. Being "heckled" to pillow fight in a scene with no pillows
Doing 14 consecutive Fringe shows for theatre nerds of all ages kind of helped us forget that a Friday at 11pm all-male improv show at a bar might attract a younger, drink-y-er, yell-y-er crowd. That said, we never expected that our scene about two girls getting ready for a blind date would illicit cries of "MAKE OUT!" or "HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT!" We seriously considered abandoning our script for a pillow fight but unfortunately no pillows were made available to us by the venue. And we always save our make out sessions for after our shows in a private bathroom stall.
2. That day when we did not see or talk to each other
Saturday, August 18th. I was camping and did not have cell phone reception. I drew Mandy's face on a beach ball and cooked her a strip loin steak. The next day the steak was gone. I am not sure whether a) the medium-rare meat enticed a bear to the campsite or b) beach ball Mandy came to life, ate the steak then smashed a Coleman cooler open on a rock and also ate all the raw sausages and bacon then ripped open the garbage and threw it all over the ground. I guess we will never know.
1. Having strangers say nice things about us
While we are bored to death with strangers commenting on how pretty and smart and nice we are, Fringe was our first real experience with strangers commenting on us being funny. Well, strangers, it's about time! There was nothing more wonderful than seeing reviewers or bloggers use adjectives to describe us such as: irreverent, entertaining, explosive, popular, intelligent, fresh, fascinating, hilarious, really fucking hilarious, energetic, genius, funny, smart, beautiful, bizarre, hysterical, clever, creative, damn good, likeable, impeccable, admirable, infectious, unrelenting, fantastic, self-aware, fun, refreshing, charming, magical, 20-somethings, fast-paced, fantastic, professional, young, authentic, laugh-out-loud, top-drawer, and quality. Add to this being included in lists such as Torontoist's Top 10 things at Fringe and NOW Magazine's Outstanding Fringe Productions and Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2012 and you've got some major ego problems. Never wanting to let things go to our heads, Mandy and I are currently writing a series of highly racist sketches that take place in the bathroom, all of which are eight minutes long and end with one of us realizing "it was all a dream."
Next year we will release a list of the ten best stages we have been booed off of. Until then, thank you, everyone, for giving us such an incredible 2012!

Songs we tried to play also included Frente!'s Labour of Love, Beth Orton's I wish I Never Saw the Sunshine (I know you hate this song...) and Love Psychedelico's Last Smile.
Oh, and I really like the second song in the cd you gave me, it goes 'please don't make me carry on, coz i've been there and back to the place i used to call home' I also like 'everyone's song'.
Oh, and just when I began to get into Death Cab for Cutie, I was greatly affected by their lyrics!! Despairing!!

IT'S JA-NUA-RY but not a month for you to nua because school starts for many or worst, no difference at all because I'm interning (AKA no holidays). And January also marks an important month for those that took their O levels last year.
So now you are moving on to the next phrase, you struggled between the choice of going to ITE/ JC/Poly. I wouldn't be touching so much on ITE and JC because I personally study in a polytechnic.
Firstly, for those that didn't manage to score their ideal grades can choose to apply for Joint Polytechnic Special Admissions Exercise (JPSAE) to your ideal course. If you're not interested in JPSAE, you can skip this whole entire part and scroll down.
I entered my course through this exercise and practically, this is for those that die die want to enter the course and have the burning interest AND proofs (like certificates or talents). I'm guessing that they look much more on the proofs rather than your interest but even if you don't any, no harm trying right?
If you're selected for the interview, they will call you up and please follow the following steps:
2.) Do not be late for the interview and be well groomed.
3.) Put all your certificates (Even those irrelevant ones to step one very zai) into clear plastic sheets and put these sheets into a ring file as your "portfolio".
4.) Bring along your proofs too. (I brought along a compo book which my school published as my essay was in it to show that I'm proficient in writing)
5.) Prepare questions that are related to the course to ask the interviewers. Please don't ask shallow questions if not they will think that you do not know the course well and kuakua say byebye to your place in the course.
6.) *optional* Bring along your musical instruments (Guitars/ukulele etc.) to show off your talents (Esp if you're applying for a media course)
So now after you finished the interview, just sit down, eat popcorn and pray hard you get in!
Now, for those kids that are deciding between JC or POLY. I'm just gonna touch on two myths.
"JC is so tough, go poly better lah can lepak one." They said.
In Poly, you have around 5-6 modules per semester; you get about 3 assignments per module, each module lasting about half a year. Do the maths and you get about 18 assignments half a year, which means 1 month = 3 projects to be completed. Not forgetting tests and exams. * (*Disclaimer: I'm writing based on my course and the numbers are just a rough gauge.)
You get all kinds of projects (depending on your course), those that requires you to spend hours at the library sourcing for books for APA (crediting), out at 3am to do filming, sourcing "sponsors" for your projects and the list goes on. As an almost graduating student, I can tell you, it's terribly draining. Worst if you meet groupmates that are freeloaders.
I'm not talking about getting a GPA 4.0. I'm just talking as a student with a GPA of 3.34. In year one, I scored a GPA 3.7 and that was when I worked really, really hard. But as the workload increases, I couldn't cope and it dropped. Even my grade was considered not bad – I got a mixtures of As and Bs, and probably one C sometimes. But let me tell you, a B+ is enough to kill your GPA. That's how tough it is if you wanna score well.
And fyi, CCAs usually starts at 730 – 930 for once/twice a week, so go do the calculations on how much time you have left excluding transport and sleep for your projects.
"If you know what you're going to do, go to poly. If you don't, go to JC."
50% True, 50% False.
If you aspire to be a kindergarten teacher, of course taking a diploma in Early Childhood Education would be a better path for you compared to going to JC. However, ask yourself how sure you are that you really want to be a kindergarten teacher? Is it a temporary thoughts or something that you have thought through for a really long time? How much do you really know about this job? Often we only see things on the surface, we don't see the shit behind the job until you really get to experience it. I was a very good example.
I wanted to be a radio DJ back in Sec 4, which was why I was so determined to get into Chinese Media and Communications. My knowledge for the media industry was sparse at that point of time, which probably makes me think that working in the media industry is all so glamorous and easy. As time pass, my knowledge grew and my passion died down, realizing that maybe being a DJ wasn't what I want to be afterall. And also, it isn't an easy job, especially with the fierce competition. So in conclusion, being in poly just makes you more "specialized" in a certain field, but that doesn't mean you will be stuck in that field forever.
How is poly life different from Secondary school?
Practically what you can't do in Secondary school can be done in poly.
1.) Lots of freedom from assignments to eating in class Being in poly is a whole new world.
You don't get teachers chasing after/punishing you for not doing your work, you don't want to submit, I fail your assignment lor. Cannot graduate? Repeat lor.
Usually, you get your Assignment Descriptors (Practically a piece of paper that tells you what is required and how you're graded for that particular assignment) and you do your work at your own time. Some lecturers don't tell you what to do, (claiming that they don't want to spoonfeed you) while some lecturers open up consultation slots (usually not compulsory, but they will tell you: you don't want come you on wrong track your problem ah)
Also, secondary school kids like to trend pon school right? Yea you can pon lectures and nobody will say anything, AS LONG AS YOU MAINTAIN YOUR ATTENDANCE ABOUT 80% (Just to be safe ahem) or be prepared to camp at your letterbox for the warning letter.
Not forgetting the fact that most lecturers allow eating in class. This is probably the thing that I'm most thankful for because I guess most of us won't have time to sit down and have a proper breakfast so most of the time we skip the meal or eat our breakfast on the go. However, this is also bad because you would have a higher tendency to buy snacks to class and munch on. I usually would have a cup of coffee from the vending machine to keep me awake in class.
2.) Laptop for work?
We SELDOM use pens and papers so laptop to us is like our notebook. But most of the time, it's just a form of entertainment for us. Trust me, most of us would use our laptops during lessons to surf the net or to rush the gonna-be-due work, nobody is really paying attention to the lesson.
Clearly, all the lecturers know about this but some of them just can't be bothered with us lah LOL. Some would implement rules though, so it really depends on the lecturers.
3.) Dress code
Remember the attire check in Secondary school? No ankle socks, no dyed hairs, no short skirts.
In poly, practically nobody cares about what you wear in poly unless you walk into the lecture hall with a bikini. I know many of you are excited by the fact that there is no uniform but trust me, you will dread it because you had to think about what to wear every morning and sooner or later, I can expect to see you walk around school with the school tee, fbt and slippers because sleep is just more important than the freaking fashion. You think youVictoria's Secret Model meh?
4.) Your bunch of friends constantly changes
People said that the best bunch of friends remains at secondary school level and I totally agree to that. In poly, there are all kinds of people everywhere. Of course there are good ones that would last, but mostly, they are just temporary kind of friends that you need when you doing a group project or just for PR purposes.
It's also common to see people forming cliques after joining various camps and maybe you would be envious seeing them going out on outings together claiming how sweet and close their "families" are, but there are lots of gossiping and bitching going behind the scenes.
Throughout my three years, I have seen many fallen out/distant friendships that not only happening to me, but to others as well. People will walk out of your life or get distant, but it's a phrase where everyone will face.
5.) Food price & choices
Unlike in secondary school, a bowl of noodles probably only cost you $2.00 at most. But in poly, it starts from $3.00 onwards. Depending on the poly, some poly have Starbucks, Coffee bean, Mcdonalds and even Sakae sushi.
Canteen wise, I would have said Ngee Ann Poly (Not being bias here) has the widest and best food choice although it's madness when it comes to finding a seat during lunch hour. I dislike TP's canteen because it's kind of lok kok. *no offence, just personal preference here* Not air conditioned and the food choice is pretty limited too. Although I think it's of cool that they have this café-like places that is managed by their own students in the school.
I hope this posts do help some of you out there who are struggling to make choices/wants to know more about poly life! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any doubts and I will try to reply you asap!

So, I have always treated my blog as a hobby, and it is a hobby, one which I really enjoy actually! But this month, I thought it might be fun to set myself a few goals to see how I get on, and just because it might be fun to track my progress! At the end of this month, I can do a review post on how everything went.
I'm going to split this into blogging goals, and social media goals. I know that numbers aren't important at all, but I just thought for one month it might be interesting to track whats going on!
Try to post two times a week.
This may not happen, given that on the 4th of June I'm starting a full time job, but I'm about to sit down and plan some ideas, so hopefully I can aim to try and post on this blog twice a week! I think I'll aim for Wednesdays and Sundays, as that's worked well for me in the past!
Figure out how to monetise my blog!
I've had this blog since 2013, and I've never been able to figure out how to make a few pennies from it. I'm not expecting to make a lot, and this won't change my content, but it would be quite nice to see if I can make this hobby of mine make me a bit of money.
If any fellow bloggers have any advice or tips on this please please let me know!
Go through old posts and make sure there are no dodgy links.
I haven't cleaned up any content on this blog since I started, and I feel like there are definitely some old posts of mine that could be edited a bit! This isn't really essential, but it's been on my list of things to do for a while.
Social Media
Post a picture every day on Instagram.
I really love Instagram, the community of people on there are so lovely. I just want to try posting a picture a day in June, to see how it impacts on my followers/people visiting my blog/general engagement. I'd really love to reach 600 followers by the end of the month, and currently I'm on 584, so hopefully I can achieve this!
Reach 700 followers on Twitter.
50% of my blog traffic comes from Twitter, so I'd really like to try and use it more, and interact with way more bloggers!
Put more effort into my Blogs Facebook page.
I really neglect this page. I think it might be cool to try put a bit more effort into it, and maybe even post it on my personal Facebook, although that terrifies me so maybe not yet!
I don't have loads and loads of goals, because I know that I won't be able to complete them all, but the ones I have made, I think it will be interesting to work on them throughout the month and see how they go.
If any fellow blogger friends are reading this, and have any advice for me, please leave me a comment, or message me on Instagram! It would be really appreciated!
Thanks for reading as always.

It's no secret that Instagram is my preferred social channel—more often than not, it's the one discussed on this blog. But I take for granted how useful a tool Pinterest is, even if it doesn't seem to be quite the time-consuming obsession it used to be. It's where I save all of my recipes, home decorating ideas, fashion inspiration, and, of course, favorite jewels.
I'm a terrible "re-pinner"—most of my content comes directly from other websites. I often forget that there is a wealth of industry Pinterest users to seek out, enjoying the boards they have so expertly put together. So here's a reminder for myself—for all of us—to fall down the Pinterest rabbit hole every now and again, starting with these fab five sapphire boards, just perfect for September.
Superb Sapphires, Lang Antiques
Sapphire, Cheryl Kremkow
Sapphire Spectacular, Carelle
Blueberry Sapphire, 2018 Gem of the Year, Le Vian
Happy Birthday September!; Stuller


text: I have had a couple people ask me about the "polka dots" that I made for the room. I would make a terrible mess out of trying to explain how to make them so I'm embedding video. This is the process. I bought the colored tissue pack from Wal-Mart and used floral wire to make the hangers on mine. Enjoy!

Update Plus.... 08/09/15 ...
We now have the 2 Stroke version for the 50 & 80cc!
Unfortunately this is not the actual manual for the Nippi that is based on the Fly, but its the closest we have got to date.
Obviously perhaps, there are some differences, most notably the lack of a third wheel, some of the fuses have moved - and of course there's no mention of a wheelchair! But despite all that, for the most part the principles and much of the actual mechanicals are the same.
To emphasise, this is the workshop manual (not just simply the owners' manual) and is ideal if you plan to do more than just change the oil and brush up a spark plug. So you had better be familiar with one of these ...
.... If you aren't, please proceed with caution!
You can see the pdf by clicking the required link below, or right click for the save options. please be aware these are big files so be patient please.

|Why you should Not mount the main component set Tweeter away from the mid-woofer. The reason is the sound varies more at different listening positions and with changes in the program at any one location because the frequency of crossover to the main Tweeter is low enough to produce audibly different responses in different directions.
|Although these are randomized by the car interior the ear can discern some loss of spatial consistency. In the highest frequencies above 8kHz (upstage) - the addition to the lower system is sufficiently random (given that the left driver is off axis to the left listener and the same on the right) and the ear sufficiently non-critical to simply enhance image size with no loss of integrity.

By Peggy Morehouse
Pulitzer Prize winning author Jane Smiley visited Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs, NY to discuss her new trilogy about the life and times of a remarkable family over three transformative decades in America. Smiley walked in wearing a Saratoga Racing Hall of Fame cap that she purchased earlier that day, rainbow colored high tops, and of course, a smile. She then answered questions about her books and her life.
She explained that each volume of her new trilogy spans 33-to-34 years of the Langdon family, five wildly different children who got their start on an Iowa farm. Smiley wanted to explore how characters transform throughout their lives and how they stay the same. From the time they were born until they died, she focused on a component of Langdons' psyche that never changed. As intriguing as that sounds, the story doesn't start on page one. It begins in the dedication:
This trilogy is dedicated to John Whiston, Bill Silag, Steve Mortensen, and Jack Canning, with many thanks for decades of patience, laughter, insight, information, and assistance.
Ike Pulver, Director of the Saratoga Springs Public Library, who interviewed Ms. Smiley asked, "Are those four men your husbands?" Jane Smiley grinned and nodded with a glint in her eye, then relayed that she has been divorced three times and married four. Proving that she could have a second career as a comedian, Smiley mused about her marriages and how these four men not only influenced her personally, but helped with her writing. She conveyed that her current husband is a great listener. When Smiley finishes her writing for the day, she reads to him hoping for a critique. "If he falls asleep, I know I need to add more sex." Besides writing and romance, Smiley likes to wear caps that she collects, and she loves horses. She has written books with her favorite animal as the main character including Horse Heaven and True Blue, and stated that there is at least one in all sixteen of her novels. She described her relationship with horses by saying, "They're like having a friend that you can ride."
When asked about what books influenced her, she said that The Bobbsey Twins and Nancy Drew were the first characters who kept her eyes glued to a book when she was a young girl. However, reading Giants of the Earth by Ole Edvart Rolvaag in ninth grade had a profound impact on her life. "What you read when you're 13, shapes your consciousness."
After her interview, Smiley welcomed questions from the audience, and signed books while conversing with her Saratoga fans. To learn more about Jane Smiley visit her website: http://www.therealjanesmiley.com/

It is 2018. Foo Fighters have officially lost all relevancy. Eminem is washed up beyond all comprehensible doubt. Oprah is untouchable yet again, and Drumpf is as healthy as an ogre should be.
The old is trendy, and the new is stupid.
Therefore, lets rewind the clock back 20 years, to 1998!
'98. A year in which music was on the cusp of breaking into the new millennium, and bands and artists were revving their engines. Who would explode? Who would implode?
Let's take a look at some of the songs that left an impact on us from that year. That super weird year…
The Best Music from 1998
"Ava Adore" by The Smashing Pumpkins
Twenty years ago and looking back, it was a time when I just wanted to get drunk, party, and have no responsibilities. I'm such a late developer when it comes to certain things, especially when it comes to things I feel I want to do. Is it fear? A bit of self-doubt? Who knows, but that is beside the point.
The point here is to look at the music which gave us a buzz in 1998, which is not a lot when I look back, but there are a few gems that were released 20 years ago. I would love to say that I'm picking something from Ben Folds Five, "Naked Baby Photos" (a compilation of songs, not photos of the band as babies – that would be weird).
I could have used Neutral Milk Hotel, but I only found out about them yesterday (seriously, why did no one tell me about these people beforehand). At one point when looking back at the releases of 1998, I was tempted to pick something of the best of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, but in 1998, the song I was listening to mostly was "Ava Adore" by The Smashing Pumpkins.
Billy Corgan, James Iha, and D'arcy Wretzky were in flux at that point. If the Grinderman project is a perfect representation of a mid-life crisis, Adore is the perfect representation of changing your spots to keep up with the current vogue of the year. They ditched their traditional sound which they perfected with Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness, and went for an electronica song and wrote an album about love & loss. The twin muses of the loss of his wife, coupled with the death of his Mother, formed the catalyst for this change, and the title track "Ava Adore" is the best representation of this facet of the band.
It still sounds fresh to this day, that bassline is stunning, dirty as hell, and Corgan sounds wounded on this track. But I never lost the feeling that they were changing their sound to keep up with the Jones', trying to appeal to the alternative masses and still appear fresh. To this day, it's one of my favourite moments of the The Smashing Pumpkins career because they were stupid enough to try it, but it's one that also failed as much as Kiss doing disco. They would go back to type on the next record with their tail between their legs, but popular alternative music was changing once again and they soon split up.

"Inside Out" by Eve 6
Between "Pure Morning" by Placebo, "Space Lord" by Monster Magnet, and Kid Rock's "Batwitdaba" (wow it is painful to type that), 1998 was an experimental and altogether weird year for music.
I was confused as to what newer bands I would start listening to. Green Day and Lagwagon were staples back then, but I needed a bit more dynamics than punk beats and songs about hangovers and angry young adults.
Eve 6 came out strong from the southern California over-saturation of pop punk bands with their inventive, lyrically catchy "Inside Out." From it's radio inception, it had America singing
"I would swallow my pride,
I would choke on the rinds, but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside.
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out,
Find nothing but faith in nothing.
want to put my tender
Heart in a blender"
as loudly as baseball fans sing that ball game song at those baseball games(?).
When I first heard it, I was hooked, and every time it came on the radio, I cranked it. I eventually bought the CD, and played it so much I got sick of it. Now when I hear it, it brings all the feels and good memories back, and that smooth vocal delivery from Max Collins still gets me.
I saw them live back in like 2004 in this small club in Regina, SK. They made so many jokes about Regina, it pissed the audience off. Plus, Max Collins was drunk, with beers in hands on stage. The boos and booze were flying, and there were a couple big dudes in the audience who were about to grab his bass and give Max's head a wallop!
But… they started to play "Inside Out" and honestly – time stood still. EVERYONE in that club screamed along! Every word, every note, and every nuance. Max Collins once wrote a genius song, and I bet he never knew it would save him from getting his ass kicked on a small stage in Regina. Funny how things work out.

"From Your Mouth" by God Lives Underwater
As I stated in my Down On The Upside: The End of An Era piece, what the mainstream knew as 'alternative rock' died at the end of 1996. The following years saw the rock scene battling a severe case of identity crisis. The heavier bands found an unlikely ally in Hip-Hop and Nu Metal was born. The brooding angst of grunge gave way to immature humor, creating Punk-Pop.
At the center of this transition was 1998. It A year that wasn't as random as 1997 but nowhere near as focused and streamlined as 1998. At 15 years old, I found myself in a similar place. I can't think of that year without hearing "From Your Mouth" by God Lives Underwater playing over and over in my head.
Thanks to a bizarre (and strangely gross) music video directed by Roman Coppola, "From Your Mouth" became an MTV Buzzclip as well as peaking at number 17 on Billboard. But for me, it was a segway into an alien world of electronic music for people who hated electronic music. Part Trent Reznor and part Depeche Mode, the album Life In The So-called Space Age was much closer to Radiohead meets Pink Floyd than the likes of The Chemical Brothers or Daft Punk.
From the disheveled synth beneath a Hip-Hop drum machine to the nonchalant, passive-aggressive vocal delivery, "From Your Mouth" is just as unique today as it was back then. I remember buying this album and playing from start to finish every single day for nearly 2 weeks, feeling like I stumbled upon a band who would be making music for decades. Sadly, that wasn't the case due to the band calling it quits and the death of a key member. No matter what, I still have this album, as well as "From Your Mouth" to remind me of a time when music was growing up and changing just as much as myself.

"If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Will Be Next" by Manic Street Preachers
So in 1998 I was 11 going on 12. At that stage, music wasn't as big a part of who I was as it is now. My major memories of '98 mostly revolve are the FIFA World Cup in France! But after Googling albums released in 1998, a few took my eye but memories of listening to Manic Street Preachers were the strongest. 20 years ago, Radio 1 and music TV in the UK wasn't just about making sure the same 5 or 6 artists were constantly being played, they embraced diversity. Good music (and plenty of bad music) had a chance to succeed in the charts.
This was definitely true of "If You Tolerate This, Then Your Children Will Be Next". It was on Top of the Pops and it even charted at number 1 in the UK singles chart. It really puzzled me at the time that a song like this could make it to number one. It was so slow and a bit sad, but I liked it.
At that age I don't think I really understood the full intent of the songs lyrics, but I could understand this was a somber song. It's the first more melancholy song I think I really enjoyed and stuck with me. A few years later I would pick up a guitar and learn the chords so I could strum along. It's a well crafted song, the lyrics are deep and the production is so rich and classy. Although I wouldn't have given you those reasons 20 years ago, that's what I think of it today.
The fact you can still listen to it today and it hasn't dated like a lot of British pop/rock from the 90s is a testament to James Dean Bradfield's talent. This song was a band firing on all cylinders 10 years after forming and three years after mysteriously losing a childhood friend and band member in Richey Edwards. The album it came from also yielded many hits, and although not considered one of their classics, it's certainly an important album for their career. It showed they had staying power. 20 years and seven albums later (number eight coming this year!) shows what a creative force the Manics are.

I'm doing three songs because I can…
Man there was some garbage music released in 1998 as Coop mentioned above things were transitioning out of Grunge and splintering off into all kinds of directions.
To elaborate more on what Coop said above I think the people that were still dedicated to making "rock" type music or music of substance started adapting and really started focusing on including electronics into their music. Sometimes so much that it basically ruined who they were musically (The Smashing Pumpkins). Anyway that has nothing to do with the three songs I'm picking. Just wanted to point that out.
1998 was the year that I finally let go of my purest standpoint of organic music and traditional 'bands' and started letting in a little 'electronic' type music basically because I had to because that's all people were putting out. Good thing I did because it introduced me to some of my favorite groups and all time favorite albums. Here are three of my favorite songs from 98. Huge shoutout to 120 Minutes were all these were discovered.
"Angel" by Massive Attack
"Teardrop" was the song that was big off this album and my favorite track from Massive Attack's third album Mezzanine is "Black Milk", but that's not saying much because this album is an all-time deserted island album. I was going to put "Inertia Creeps" here, but the video for "Angel" is cooler plus the bass line is absolute perfection. How many movies has "Angel" been in? Who knows? All of Massive Attack's music is perfect for movies so it doesn't matter. I had no idea that the vocals were sung by guy until about six years ago. Blew my fuckin mind. It sounds like a female.
"Rabbit in Your Head Lights" by Unkle
DJ Shadow owned the mid 90s and was so incredibly influential. He basically created his own genre of music based solely on samples. Well, Unkle's debut album, Psyence Fiction is basically Shadow's second album after Entroducing. James Lavelle is the main dude behind Unkle, but fuck him cause his music has been sub-par since he parted ways with Shadow plus his music depends a ton upon contributors. The album's lead single featuring vocals from Thom Yorke is such a haunting track and the video is straight up unforgettable.
"New Noise" by Refused
What happens when your second album melds so many genres into one, transcends punk / hardcore, and goes on to influence a decade worth of music? Well you break the fuck up because you can't recreate perfection. This album broke Refused. No, not 'broke' like they got popular. Like literally broke them. No one gave a shit about The Shape Of Punk To Come until years later. Refused tried to tour for a few months after the album dropped, but again, no one gave a shit. I remember 120 Minutes ran the video for "New Noise" on literally the last slot before the end of the show. I happened to catch it and the very next day I went and bought The Shape Of Punk To Come. So fuckin good.
Refused has since gotten back together to cash in and make some new music, but if you ask me they are still broken from creating perfection.
- Jon
This Canadian grew up in the great state of Montana, so naturally punk and hardcore music served as a proper soundtrack to his early life. Now living in the arctic tundra he enjoys vinyl collecting, bearding, Canadian brew and long walks on the beach he makes up in his mind.

It's often said there are too many career politicians in parliament, those who don't fully understand the lives of those they represent.
And as the public makes up their minds on the EU referendum, so to do those who sit in parliament.
It is of interest, then, that just 16 per cent of MPs who started their career as a politician want to leave the EU, according to new research.

In fact, when looking at details of all current MPs, as MyVoucherCodes has done, some clear patterns emerge.
Of those politicians that studied at Oxbridge, just 24 want to leave the EU, while 89 want to remain a part of the 28-member bloc. Put differently, 79 per cent of MPs from Oxbridge want to stay in the EU.
There are 53 MPs with a military background, of which 24 want to leave, 10 want to remain and 18 are as yet undecided or have not declared.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, 84 per cent of MPs with immediate family outside the UK would vote to remain in the EU.

According to the research, there are 117 Tory MPs who would vote to stay in the EU against 107 MPs who would vote to leave.
Meanwhile, 210 Labour MPs would back remaining in the EU, and just seven would leave.

So I was doing my Friday-before-the-Sabbath errands, and I happened upon a hardware store that looked like it just might have the small desk lamp I wanted for my new tiny Jerusalem apartment. Oddly, hardware stores here do not carry lighting fixtures. You have to go to a lighting fixture store in one of the industrial districts for that, which entails buses and such, and I have not quite got over my jet lag enough to want to go adventuring. But this store looked promising, so I turned from my trajectory to go in and check.
And that's when it happened. I'm not sure exactly what happened. I think I might have caught my left toe, the one that drops because of some old neurologic injury, on the highish step one has to step onto to enter the store. However it occurred, I woke up with people dragging me to my feet. I saw someone throw the sandal that had ended up on the sidewalk into the store (thank you), and I was placed in a chair and given a glass of cold water. I noticed blood dripping down my right arm, and upon inspection saw that somehow a piece of skin had been torn all the way from my wrist to my elbow, and was hanging in the breeze. I tore it off, to the hardware store's owners' great dismay.
I asked to wash the wound, and was shown to a sink that looked like it was usually used for washing grease of implements. I washed the blood off, and asked for a paper towel in which to wrap my wounded forearm. I sat back down in the chair, feeling a bit dizzy, and listened to the proprietors speculating in Hebrew about how I had tripped on the step because I was wearing sun glasses and a big floppy hat (which everyone wears in the blazing sun here).
All I could think of was getting to a pharmacy for dressing materials before everything closed down for the Sabbath. I collected my previous purchases, which had scattered all over the place, thanked the proprietors for their help, and fought my way through the surging multitudes of last-minute shoppers at the shuk to the Russian pharmacy that was, thankfully, still open.
I had to specify exactly what bandage materials I wanted, since after I showed the pharmacist my wound he looked rather ill. Taking my stuff, I headed home to wash and dress my avulsion. As I was walking home I noticed that my lower front teeth were sore. I wondered if they were loose. Then I noticed the bruise on my shin. Classic KO punch (for those of you not familiar with boxing, a direct hit to the chin is a good way to knock someone out).
But: I went down before I got the KO punch. What precipitated the fall? The drop-foot? Or perhaps….the thing that made me fall a few years ago, in the middle of the night coming back from the bathroom, that resulted in a concussion that caused all kinds of mayhem in my already compromised brain for years?
Anyway. Three days later I'm still feeling headachy, nauseous, and grumpy. The first day I fell asleep immediately upon returning home (after dressing my wound) and slept through till the next day, with one break to take Noga out to potty and to feed her. She wouldn't eat, but curled up next to me on the bed. Yesterday I slept most of the day and went to bed at nine and woke up at ten today. The wound is getting better every day. I'm getting better every day. I decided not to go to the doctor because last time I went to the doctor for a mild head injury it turned out to be a big balagan (pain in the ass, in Hebrew) and they didn't do anything anyway. So I figure if I turn out to have a subdural hematoma (blood clot on the brain) I'll do it quietly and without a big fuss. My friends are checking on me, so if I don't answer the phone they'll know something's up and come looking for me.
Kind of cynical, but that's how I am. I guess I'm passively suicidal, always have been. It's like, I'm not afraid of death. If something comes to get me, I'm on that bus. If not, I'll just keep on keepin' on.

It constitutes an extension of the Molière21 project, developed by Claude Bourqui, Professor of French literature at the Université de Fribourg (Switzerland), and Georges Forestier, and is also a facet of a larger research project on questions of authorship and literary paternity that Georges Forestier launched at the end of 2011 under the aegis of the IUF.
The Web site "Moliere-Corneille or Moliere Author of the Works of Moliere" was designed and written by Georges Forestier, with the collaboration of Alexandre Gefen (technical development), François Pagès (Web design) and Luke Arnason (English version). It received and continues to receive research contributions from Claude Bourqui, Charles Bernet and François Pagès.
As an extension of the Moliere21 site, this site is also hosted by the CEPM (Corpus électronique de la première modernité) attached to the Centre d'Étude de la langue et de la littérature françaises des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (CELLF 17e-18e siècles).
The production of this site was financed with the funds provided by the IUF to Georges Forestier.

Amidst a scenic hilly terrain boasting of lush greenery and perched mid-way between the Chennai – Bangalore highway at an altitude of 920 m above sea level is Yelagiri, a hidden gem. The fact that this hill station is so serene and tranquil to many- yet unexplored by any, lends it an exotic charm.
The picturesque landscape of Yelagiri offers the charming vibe very similar to that of Kodai and Ooty at an easily accessible distance of 260 kms from Chennai and 165 kms from Bangalore. The salubrious climates throughout the year makes it an ideal holiday destination year-round.
Leave the cumbersome vacation planning behind and surprise your family and friends with an ultimate fuss-free week-end getaway at Hotel Landmark, set in a vantage location@ Yelagiri Hills.

Inside India's first UNESCO World Heritage City: Ahmedabad – Pols
This is part 2 of the two part blog series 'Inside Ahmedabad', navigating through the old city of Ahmedabad which earned it the title of UNESCO World Heritage City in July 2017. Part 1 dealt with exploring the treasures of the walled city. In this part I walk through the narrow alleys of the 'Pols' of Ahmedabad.
Pols, are the residential quarters in within the walled city of Ahmedabad segregated on the basis of community, profession or religion. They're characterized by their peculiar layout and the architecture of the houses. Pols usually have extremely narrow lanes and interesting build of the houses. Not to mention the pretty, old school architecture. They were designed this way in order to provide protection to the dwellers in case of communal riots back when the city was the part of the Gujarat Sultanate.
In one of the 'pols' lies the former house and now memorial of the Gujarati poet Dalpatram.
In the middle of the Pols lie these bird feeding points called 'Chabootaras'. Built to attract birds long gone due to deforestation.
Another fascination I have with the Pols of Ahmedabad is because of these doors, which come intricately carved in all shapes and designs.
