I feel so fortunate to live in San Francisco where food is available everywhere. There are casual, fine dining, and three star restaurants within reach.
Since I think of myself as an adventurous gal, I am totally into trying all kinds of food. I like to discover delicious food, so I'm always on the lookout for those unexpected surprises!
Just last week I found myself on Hayes street, near Civic Center, I began window shopping and I smelled aromatic food. I followed my nose to "Papito," a brand new restaurant. I had discovered my first organic mexican restaurant. The owner showed me to my seat in the brightly sunlit room with an open kitchen. It was noisy but hey, it was noon. Most of the tables were taken with people sitting, laughing, smiling and enjoying their food. Happy sounds...
I was starving so I decided to order the large taco platter thinking that I would have some leftovers for later.
When the taco platter slid in front of me, I noticed how beautiful they were garnished with edible flowers!! So of course I pulled out the camera (like everyone nowadays) and shot a few pics. The tacos were so scrumptious, flowers and all that I had none to take home.

Exploring Hydrocarbon Depletion
Page added on May 28, 2015
Whenever oil prices abnormally elevate due to a variety of reasons, some of which are beyond human control and some the result of human intervention – the world often panics and the press is filled with articles highlighting that the world is running out of oil, 'peak oil theory', and oil prices are likely to increase to $250/bbl etc.
The term peak oil was originally coined in the 1950s by M. King Hubbert who predicted US oil production would peak in 1970, and decline at the same rate it arose. But in the history of the petroleum era, Matt Simmons will be remembered for calling attention to peak oil. T. Boone Pickens, another peak oil proponent said in a statement, "You had to admire his advocacy and his ability to focus on the need to better prepare for a new energy future." In reality, like many Malthusian beliefs, the peak oil theory has been promoted by a motivated group of scientists and laymen who base their conclusions on poor analyses of data and misinterpretations of technical material. Are we really moving towards resource exhaustion or towards Peak Oil theory? Is the world better off today then it was in 1980 contrary to the predictions of Peak Oil theory?
In order to assess the true picture it would be worthwhile to analyse the historical data to arrive at some rational conclusions about whether the world is really running out of oil and gas resources. From global perspectives the world is better off on both the oil and the natural gas front. For example, global oil reserves during 1980/2013, increased from 683.4 billion barrels in 1980 to 1687.9 billion barrels in 2013 – an increase of 147%. While oil production during the same period increased by 38% (Figure-1). Despite, 38% increase in global oil production the world is better off in 2013 than 1980. At the end of 2013 oil reserves production ratio (R/P ratio) [1] increased from 29.7 years in 1980 to 53.3 years at the end of 2013 – an improvement of about 23 years (Figure-2). That means that with 2013 oil production and oil reserves the world can survive for 53.3 years assuming no additional discoveries are made.
Source: BP Statistical Review of World Energy
When the historical data is analyzed regionally the situation is quite different. Interesting enough the major consuming regions – North America, Europe and Asia are all experiencing growing demand for oil and gas but lack indigenous resources. Therefore, in general their import dependency over time has substantially increased. In sharp contrast, the bulk of oil and gas resources are located in Middle East, Former Soviet Union (FSU) Central & South America and Africa and exceed consumption in these regions.
Apart from other factors one of the main reasons of higher energy prices is associated with global distribution of energy resources. As a result of uneven distribution of energy resources security of supplies related issues are vital for some regions/countries as compared to others. This led us to review how global natural resources are distributed, produced and consumed. Such analysis will set the stage for discussion and also help understanding the nature of the problem. Only a few countries are dominant energy players in the world today. For example, in terms of fossil fuels – Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran, Iraq and Canada hold 62% of global oil reserves. Russia, Iran, Qatar, USA and Turkmenistan account for about 63% of global natural gas reserves and USA, Russia, China, India and Australia are holding 75% of coal reserves at the end of 2013 (Table-1). While the remaining of proven resources is being shared by the rest of the global economies and some of them are totally import dependent.
Not only the distribution of natural resources is skewed but a major portion of various sources of energy are also being produced and consumed by few countries. For example, over 45% of oil is produced and consumed by the given seven countries – Saudi Arabia, Russia, USA, Canada, China, Japan and India (across row). While over 52% of natural gas is produced and 47.6% consumed by the given seven countries. For coal over 75% of resources are being produced and consumed by the given seven countries. Sixteen countries altogether are the major energy players either as reserve holders, producers, consumers or combination of the three.
For example, USA, India and China are the largest holder, producer and consumer of coal. Similarly, Russia and Iran are among the top natural gas reserve holders, producers and consumers. While equation for oil is somewhat different and not the largest oil reserve holders aren't necessarily among the top five oil producers and consumers as well. For example, Saudi Arabia and Canada are among the top five oil reserves and producers but not among the top five consumers.
BP Statistical Review of World Energy – June 2014.
Over the years, new state-of-the-art technology played an important role in reducing cost and boosting oil and gas production from high cost deposits like deep offshore reservoirs thereby making more production economically possible. For example, introduction of 3-D seismic, horizontal drilling, multi-completion of wells and hydraulic fracturing, has greatly increased exploration success rates, improved recovery rates, and substantially reduced the cost of producing oil and gas.
With the application of new technology, oil supply in the North Sea increased significantly during 1980s. This gave a significant boost to non-OPEC production (reducing the call on OPEC production) and consequently oil prices plunged in 1980s. Recently due to technological advancement and change in definition Central & South America recorded a substantial boost in oil reserves – increasing from 111.2 billion barrels in 2007 to 229.6 billion barrels in 2013. This increase is mainly associated with significant increase in Venezuela oil reserves (heavy oil) that increases from 99.4 billion in 2007 to 298.3 billion barrels in 2013 – an increase of over 200% in just seven years! Horizontal drilling and fracturing technology has opened up a new era of oil and gas from tight/shale oil/gas and sand oil in North America.
Due to the dynamic nature of the oil and gas industry and continuous advancements in state-of-the-art technology the world we live in in 2015 is much better than the one we were living in in 1980. Both oil and natural gas reserves and life expectancy during this period have improved despite substantial increase in production/consumption. Horizontal drilling, 3-D and hydraulic fracturing allow the recovery of oil and natural gas from unconventional resources (shale, coal bed methane, and tight formations) which otherwise were uneconomical to produce. The global unconventional industry (tight oil, shale oil, shale gas, sand oil) is still at the learning stages but the United States industry is far ahead and has shown inspiring results as their tight oil production increased from 1.24 million barrels daily (MMBD) in 2007 to 4.72 MMBD in 2014 – which represents approximately a 3-3/4 fold increase1- reducing US oil import dependency from 60% in 2005 to about 27% in 2014.
The major boost in US oil production is associated with tight oil production that increased from 1.24 MMBD in 2007 to 4.72 MMBD in 2014. North Dakota has been an oil producing state for the last 60 years. However, the Bakken oil boom since the last eight/ten years made North Dakota the fourth largest oil producing state in the country and one of the largest onshore plays in the United States. The Bakken extends beyond North Dakota into Eastern Montana and neighboring territories of Saskatchewan and Manitoba in Canada. While its success has been largely attributed to advances in oil field technology, primarily horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, a number of circumstances have come together to make the Bakken a successful oil play, including high oil prices, widespread and ready access to privately held prospects. For example, Bakken oil production from tight oil increased from 0.138 MMBD in 2005 to over 1.121 MMBD in 2014. According to US Geological Survey there are at least 4 billion barrels of recoverable oil in North Dakota, other estimates indicate 4-5 times more. Other important prospects are Eagle Ford and Permian basin where tight production also substantially increases (Table-2). The additional oil production from tight oil is further complemented by substantial increase in condensate from increasing shale gas production. The combined effect of both these and other factors allowed the US to reduce its net oil import dependency from 60% in 2005 to below 27% in 2014, despite the growth in domestic oil demand that was hovering around 18 MMBD recently.

The problem is when oil prices skyrocketed the peak oil theory re-emerged and during the regime of collapsing oil prices the concept of peak oil remains on the back burner. I leave it up to the curious readers to make their own rational assessment whether the world has reached the peak or is endowed with substantial resources to meet the ever increasing energy demand for mankind for many decades to come. One thing is certain, the future will be much better than the present as human ingenuity blessed by Allah SWT is unlimited – technological breakthroughs help humanity to find and extract shale oil/gas, sand oil and other energy resources (renewable and non-renewable) economically in major energy consuming countries. Before these resources are exhausted we will discover something amazing. This process of innovation and improvement in standard of living can be expected to continue for many centuries and the world will still be debating peak oil!

"One thing is certain, the future will be much better than the present as human ingenuity blessed by Allah SWT is unlimited – technological breakthroughs help humanity to find and extract shale oil/gas, sand oil and other energy resources (renewable and non-renewable) economically in major energy consuming countries."
Must be nice to feel/know such certainty about the future. I guess that's the luxury of faith based arguments.
We could find 3 new Ghawar fields tomorrow and it would not change our fate, in fact it would kill us all the sooner. The consequences of pumping massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere and oceans are here NOW. Just in last week people in Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska and India have had the displeasure of experiencing it. Game ending for some of them.

Really now, you gotta love the idea that having "53.3 years" of available resources combined with the certainty that "something amazing" will be discovered just in time means that things will continue to get better for centuries to come. What I wouldn't give for that kind of optimism!
What the hell does "Allah SWT" mean?

First the Fuel Subsidies Come Off. Then the Wheels.
"The iron jaws of this conundrum are closing on oil producers all over the world, from Saudi Arabia to Venezuela. Using oil profits to subsidize domestic consumption has become increasingly costly, because the subsidies inflate consumption while production of oil remains flat or declines. The problem was bad and getting worse long before oil prices tanked last year; now it has become a mortal threat to oil producing nations everywhere."

If you wish it, it will happen. If you really believe then it will happen. Remember nothing bad can happen, for you are the chosen. Faith is the armor that protects the ignorant from the pain of knowing the truth. If ignorance is bliss, why am I not happy?

I kept getting the feeling throughout this article that it was written by someone whose native tongue was not English (note the absence of many articles). Sure enough, in the end it is revealed that this was written by some Islamic fool who believes that "Allah SWT" will simply make oil appear out of nowhere. How does this kind of garbage make it into mainstream media?

Apneaman said it better then I'm capable.
This week-end, Everyone's attention should be focused on ISIL's opportunistic, unpredictable,
battle tactics.
IS is gaining recruits at unprecedented levels.
(2,500 a week)
Iraq Army has failed (so far) to hang on to US supplied weapons, Effectively arming new recruits.
I'm beginning to believe Baghdad and resident's futures are in grave doubt. Like the Yemeni only rich people will be able to arrange transport out.
Baghdad will run out of fuel in coming weeks.
KSA air attacks on Yemen have handed control
of Yemeni oil fields to AQY and IY. (al Qaeda in Yemen and Islamic Yemen) KSA has already run out of prime targets. Today, Saudis and Gulf State
confederates are bombing just anything.
I'll predict Southern Iraq's oil fields may change hands as soon as June.
Here's obvious truth. If the Yemeni get off a single missile or human 'smart bomb' targeting Saudi oil installation choke points, the game is up. This is one thousand to one bet I'll take.
The 'White House' repeated once again, today, the US will not send in more troops. Iraq is 'on their own', God bless em. Only Iranian regular troops
are in position to 'save' Baghdad and Damascus.
I believe Tehran believes they must to hold control of Iraq's oil.

If this Author is correct (he is not) we would destroy our climate and ourselves by burning this oil. When it is all said and done, we will be left with solar, wind and low tech. Best to start working with that as soon as possible.

Ask yourself Bob; Who was it that took out Baghdad in 2003? Now ask yourself this; Who is it that wants Damascus and Tehran to fall as well?
Plantagenet on Thu, 28th May 2015 4:41 pm
The writer concludes that Allah will supply humanity with the necessary technology to prevent peak oil from occurring.
I call BS.
IMHO, Allah is probably agnostic when it comes to peak oil

the world we live in in 2015 is much better than the one we were living in in 1980."
maybe if you're part of the 1%. The rest of us humans, not to mention the multitude of organisms rapidly running out of habitat and dying from our industrial poison, no so much.

It's the North Norfolk Food and Drink Festival this weekend: 3rd and 4th September.
The tiniest train
Now, I'm not much of a one for steam trains. Somehow the gene that has directed the rest of my family to variously obsess, head to Greece on (full size) ex-UK, engine-buying expeditions, run station sweet shops etc has firmly passed me by. But I've found my exception.
As my half-anthracite brother was staying with me, and because I see a lot of the happy team at the Wells to Walsingham Light Railway on our regular visits to supply their little cafe (there will be a lot of diminutive adjectives coming up) with our sausage rolls , I suggested a trip from Wells to Walsingham. And just utterly LOVED it.

Cremation is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional burial. It's a simple and dignified procedure which utilizes heat and fire to decrease a decedent to an ash-like material that could be subsequently stored in an urn, buried or scattered.
The Basics
Cremation reduces a dead person's body to ashes and bone fragments with heat and fire. The method is done in particular cremation equipment, including a furnace and a cremulator (a piece of equipment used to reduce bones to ash-like stays). Cremated remains are a white or gray in color and resemble the feel of sand. Remains are subsequently moved to a container or an urn and contributed to the family or organized for burial.
Some families elect to disperse a loved one's ashes in a place of special significance – it all depends on the way people decide to memorialize their loved one. Based upon the size of the decedent, the cremation process typically requires two to three hours. Typically, the family is allowed to be present when the body is placed in the cremation chamber. Naturally, this is not compulsory and left up to the next-of-kin's taste.
Why Cremation?
Some people choose Cremation services as an inexpensive alternative to traditional burial. Cremation also provides flexibility in arranging a memorial service or service in addition to options for how a household chooses to memorialize their loved one. The ashes can be scattered in a meaningful place, kept at a cremation urn, buried or placed in a columbarium.
Cremation is also considered an environmentally friendly method since it does not require the use of tools to construct a casket nor utilize a plot of land. Previously, some religions have discouraged cremation, but it is now an acceptable method among several denominations and in some cultures, a mainstay of the memorial procedure.
Look Up a Cremation Society
A Cremation society locally can lead you through the specifics of the cremation process and answer your questions. Unlike many funeral homes, which normally outsource the cremation process to another crematory, Cremation societies can do the cremation.
While only the fundamentals have been summarized here, prepare yourself So that you are armed with the facts. Whether you reach out to a Cremation society or a funeral director, take some time to ask questions and educate yourself about your options.

I didn't tell them I was here sketching on Tuesday so they wouldn't be too disappointed for missing out. Conductor Lawrence Hawk said the winter village is owned by the city and has been in the Center House for 20 years. "It's nice to hear people say, 'My folks brought me and now I'm bringing my kids,'" he said. "It's beautiful," said Pam Marquardt, who had come to watch her daughter perform with her Issaquah school choir. "It's a good tradition. I've brought all my kids here when they were little," she said. The village features turn-of-the-century buildings, snow, lights and a towering depot from where kids can drive the train. The attraction is free, although a $2 donation is suggested. Comments

"What role does stress play as an antagonist to change?
It is difficult to behave different from usual when you are stressed. So, is stress enhancing steady habits? Yes. We don´t have the energy available to break out of automated processes in stressful situations, as all power is consumed by the stressful situation itself. And that´s why habits get their right of way."

At Home
THE PARENT IS THE HOME TEACHER: Practice with your child so they learn the correct way to practice. I will work with you to gradually give each student independence in practice time.
Practice every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. I would much rather have a student practice 10 minutes every day of the week than for two hours only the day before the lesson.
Help your child feel confident at every lesson and in every performance situation. Listen to the Suzuki repertoire recordings several times a day every day, especially the working piece, the preview piece (the piece you are just starting, with "preview spots"), and the next piece. Supplement your listening with other fine violin recordings, including the upcoming Suzuki CD's. Keep them accessible (car, MP 3 player, bedroom, etc.).
Review is vital! Plan on 1/3 of practice time for review in order to refine skills, musicality, and ease of playing.
Never go ahead of the teacher's assignments! There are many intricacies of learning new material and if something is learned incorrectly it takes twice as long to correct. This often leads to frustration for all parties involved!
Sing and bow upcoming pieces without the violin in hand.
Come to every group class and practice what the teacher expects to work on the next week or for upcoming concerts.
I support any initiative that you make for your children to have solo or small group performance opportunities. Some good ideas for creating these opportunities are: home concerts, book graduations, nursing home concerts, church services & other religious functions, and level-appropriate youth orchestras & chamber groups. I would love to see studio members get together to work on such projects. If you know of any venues you would like to pursue for the entire studio, let me know and I will be happy to organize with you!
When it is time to decide on solo recital pieces, prepare your child to choose a REVIEW piece. This is at least three pieces back from their newest piece.
Get involved! Talk to other parents, participate in outreach concerts, or volunteer to help out at events.
When Visiting
: You may park in the driveway directly in front of the studio on the driveway pad. Please be careful turning around before exiting the driveway.
Please remove your shoes before entering the studio. Shoes and jackets may be left in the "mudroom" when you first enter. There is a coat rack and shoe bench for this purpose.
: Because my studio is attached to our private residence, I ask that parents accompany their children ages 10 and under to the bathroom. Please go directly to the bathroom and back. We have a septic system; please put only toilet paper in the toilet.
No food is allowed in the studio. You may bring water or "non-spill" sippy cups.
: Outside of the studio, 201 Pleasant Grove Road is private property. Your children must be supervised at all times. *Please do not allow them in the house (except for the bathroom), the backyard, etc.*
Please keep in mind we have a dog and a cat. She lives freely in the house, but is generally not allowed in the studio. Before entering to use the bathroom, please knock. Please keep all doors closed at all times: she is quick!
Lesson Rules
Come 10 minutes early to lessons. Please unpack in the waiting room outside the studio. When waiting for group lessons please remain in the designated waiting area. Please be mindful that my studio is located in my home where children are learning and growing.
Parents MUST ATTEND EVERY LESSON. Parts are the at home teacher. If a substitute adult (such as the "non-practice" parent or a babysitter) must attend a lesson, they must be able to take sufficient notes for the week's practice. If the non-practice caregiver is uncomfortable taking notes, they MUST bring a video camera to record the lesson for the practice parent to view at home before the next day's practice. Lessons will not be given if these requirements are not met. Parents of high school students will attend lessons on a frequency agreed upon with the teacher.
Bring instrument, music, practice charts, notebook, recording device, and any questions that may have come up during the week. I encourage parents to video or audio record lessons (or segments of lessons).
In the lessons, parents are the "silent observer." There will be times you are asked to engage in the lesson, and time at the beginning and end for any questions you may have. During the lesson (between bows), TAKE NOTES and observe not only what the teacher and child are doing, but how/what vocabulary, what the teacher is focusing on, etc. Trying to "fix" something (i.e. posture) during the lesson may break the child's concentration or change the focus of the activity.
If you have any questions or issues you would like to discuss about home practice, lessons/classes, or your child in general, please email, call, or make an appointment. I can also schedule lessons for any parent who would like additional time for themselves, time permitting.
Siblings are encouraged to attend lessons IF THEY ARE NOT A DISTRACTION TO THE LESSON. I expect the student and parent to pay full attention to the lesson. You may bring homework, quiet toys, books, coloring, etc. for siblings.
If your younger siblings are at a stage where they require attention beyond what is reasonable in lessons, please find alternate care for them during the lesson time. Siblings MUST be supervised at all times.
Turn off all cell phones. Your child deserves our undivided attention. It is very distracting when they ring, and it sends the message that something else is more important than the lesson. TEXT MESSAGING AND WEB-SURFING ARE NOT PERMITTED IN LESSONS, GROUP, THEORY OR READING CLASSES! If there is an emergency, please find an appropriate moment to excuse yourself and take the call outside. I will honor this policy as well, and will return any calls related to lessons between or after lessons. Answering calls, texts, etc. during lessons, group, theory or reading class will result in dismissal from the class for that day.

hey guys! so as part of my resolution to blog more about the lolita aspect of my life, i've sworn to do caro-chan at fyeahlolita's wonderful Lolita 52 Challenge. since i didn't start until now, i'm going to have to double up sometimes. but for now, let's see:
i'm just going to assume we all should have seen every version of alice in wonderland, every tim burton film, and marie antoinette, right?
1. Amadeus
i chose amadeus because i think this film is absolutely perfect. it's visually stunning, and being set in the late 1700s and the 1800s the film overlaps with lolita aesthetic quite a bit. there's absolutely GORGEOUS period costuming in this film, and of course, beautiful decor. there seems to be a focus in the film's aesthetic especially on muted pastels, so i think sweet or classic lolitas would love this. it's creepy and sad, as well, so gothic lolitas would enjoy that aspect of it, i'm sure. but really, this film is for ANYONE who enjoys excellent cinema. wonderful, moving storytelling paired with awesome visuals that certainly evoke the lolita aesthetic.
and if you don't believe me that it's perfect for lolitas, mozart even wears a pink wig.
2. Wreck-It Ralph
okay, this might seem like a weird choice, especially compared to the oscar-loaded movie i just told you to see! well, wreck-it ralph is an animated disney movie, but it is a gem of a film. it's full of heart and charm, and as lolitas and nerds are a vienn diagram that almost make a circle, it's probably got a reference in it to make you laugh or smirk. the world in WIR is imaginative and beautifully rendered, and EVERYONE IS SO CUTE. EVEN SKRILLEX. i love this movie, and i want it to win all the awards this season, but alas, i fear brave will win simply because of the Pixar Rule (the rule is if it's not Pixar, it doesnt win). i believe in the magic of this film with my core. it's my favorite movie of 2012 for sure.
but most importantly what makes it so good for lolitas-- sweet, in particular, and the more OTT and sugary the better-- is SUGAR RUSH. partway through the film, the setting changes into Sugar Rush, a japanese racing game full of anime-esque saccharine-sweet racers including the anomaly Vanellope von Schweetz who is a wonderful, sweet, and hilarious character. the sugar rush portions of the film are full of detailed, realist candy backdrops, from gumdrop roads to meiji apollo strawberry chocolate people to oreo knights to pocky as the cattails in a swamp. it's not only adorable, but also rendered with only the amount of detail disney can achieve. it feels real, AND IT FEELS LIKE I WANNA LIVE THERE.
it'll surely inspire you to cover yourself in deco or make a replica of vanellope's cookie necklace. i definitely got inspired by sugar rush in my fashion as you can see by my last post!!
3. The Importance of Being Earnest (1952)
ok, first off let's be clear: I'M TALKIN BOUT THE 1952 VERSION OF THIS OSCAR WILDE CLASSIC PLAY. i need to stress this because i don't want you to see the newer 2002 version-- it sucks. it might have some good costuming, but even though it has a bunch of great actors, it's entirely unfunny from the portions i've seen!
however, i recently saw this and it is a great movie for lolitas. the plot of the film is that the leading men, jack and algernon, both are "bunburyists"-- they put on charades in order to go party and do what they want without being held responsible. this ends up in a huge confusion as jack needs to balance his alias with the desires of his would-be fiancee, and algernon also ends up in trouble because of falling in love. this play is hilarious and full of the wonderful one-liners wilde is so famous for. this movie adaptation in particular has hilarious actors and AWESOME, totally OTT for the time period costuming. it's meant to be a "society comedy" where it satirizes the victorian people who would have been seeing it, and it shows in the comedic delivery of hilarious, judgmental quips and flowery tulle headdresses.
4. Emma (1996)
i think any good jane austen adaptation is good for lolitas. wonderful, ethereal clothing, strong feisty females, and endearing characters? perfect. i love gwenyth paltrow in this adaptation of emma the most out of any emmas. this story is about the titular emma being a matchmaker for everyone but herself. it sounds like a typical romcom plot, but it's dealt with in a much more appealing way. it's a very cute film with really great costuming, and good actors to boot. you'll be emotionally and visually invested within the first few minutes!
5. A Series of Unfortunate Events
if you haven't seen this movie, WHY. it is so very, very perfect. jim carrey was pre-emma-stone crazy and all was right with the world. wonderful costuming. both a delightful and stomach-twistingly sad story. JIM CARREY.
this story of the baudelaire orphans and their misadventures after the mysterious loss of their rich parents is one that i've enjoyed in book form since young childhood, and from my middle school days onward as a young adult. the only thing bad about this movie is that i always am so saddened at the end because it only covers the plot of the first 3 novels + some temporary denoument so you can leave the film feeling okay. the kids are too old now to play violet and klaus, but jim carrey could still be olaf. maybe in five years or so we could get a recast?
the lolita aesthetic is strong and dark with this one. violet dresses in a lovely gothic dress for the entirety of the movie, plus a cute blue coat. the locations: count olaf's stripey and eyeball-ridden shack of a mansion, old libraries, burnt down beautiful homes, and uncle monty's reptile room-- are all cool enough to invite you in while still feeling dangerous and vaguely creepy constantly. therefore, i think it's wonderful for classic and gothic lolitas, but anyone should watch this movie.
WOW that was long.... i hope you enjoyed my first Lolita 52 post! i will try to do these a few times a week from here on out!
that's all for now!

Viewers who wonder why the clean-cut star of the new CBS police drama "Golden Boy," beginning Feb. 26, looks familiar might want to picture him instead in a flowing wig. And dead.
Theo James, a British actor, is probably best known on these shores as Kemal Pamuk, the dashing Turkish diplomat who died in Lady Mary Crawley's bed in the first season of "Downton Abbey." Though the role amounted to only a few minutes of screen time, its impact was outsize, setting off nearly two seasons' worth of intrigue surrounding the "Downton" daughter's soiled reputation.
Though it "feels like years ago" that he did the part, Mr. James said he lately gets recognized for it more than ever, at least in the United States. "It's only recently that people have been going: 'It's massive! Mr. Pamuk!' " he said.
Mr. James, 28, was born in Oxford and owes his chiseled Mediterranean looks to his grandfather, who was from Greece. (The actor was born Theodore Taptiklis — James is a middle name.) He has appeared in British series like "Bedlam" and films like "Underworld: Awakening" and auditioned for "Golden Boy" from Britain. "Not that long ago you had to be in L.A." to be considered for big network roles, he said. "Now you can send a tape from London and it arrives in 15 minutes."
As the titular "Golden Boy" Mr. James portrays a striving young detective early in what will be a rapid rise through the New York Police Department. Episodes are book-ended by scenes set seven years in the future, when the character, at 34, has become the department's youngest commissioner ever. The flashback narrative is grounded by the veteran character actor Chi McBride as the partner and voice of weary wisdom, a sage counterpoint to Mr. James's hotheaded upstart.
Mr. James called Jeremy Egner recently from London to discuss playing two characters in one and embracing cop clichés. These are excerpts from the conversation.
Q. What about this concept appealed to you?
A. I like the story of a person's rise and everything that goes along with that journey, everything that they lose and gain. Secondly because of that I get this great chance to play two differing personalities. You have this young, naïve, cocksure guy who's kind of willing to do anything to get what he wants, and then you flash forward to a man who feels older than his age.
How did you prepare for the role?
Just by being in the city and, as clichéd as that sounds, hanging out with the people. New York cops are very specific in terms of the way they talk and the way they handle themselves. All these clichés that, as an Englishman, I thought were from a bygone era or were a bit of poetic license with cop shows — the more you hang out with them, the more you realize how real that jargon is.
So you spent time with police officers?
We would go on ride-alongs, and I would sit in on interviews. I would wear a suit and try to be as inconspicuous as possible, although at one point someone, as we left, said, "Aren't you a bit young to be a cop?" Which is kind of a good symmetry with the story.
Do you have a favorite TV cop?
I watched "The Shield." That was a big show for me. But for me it was more about the reading. I read [Bernard] Kerik's autobiography, "Clockers," "Blue Blood."
Your "Downton" role was brief. Was it odd to keep seeing it as a plot point?
To be honest I didn't watch the rest of Season 1 — I watched some of it — so I didn't really know how much [of a role] he plays. You tell me. [Laughs.]
It doesn't sound as if you're all that thrilled to talk about it.
I feel slightly fraudulent reflecting on it too much because I was only in one episode, you know what I mean?

Traditionally, the companies engaged in design and manufacturing form teams usually made up of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineers and technicians focusing in their own specific area with little insight into the requirements of the other disciplines. However in today's vast global market place of emerging products, nearly every new invention either includes mechanical and electrical components or relies on them in the manufacturing process. UniKL MSI in electromechanical installation & maintenance program bridges this gap with an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving in a design and manufacturing environment where the challenges are both mechanical and electrical
The diploma of engineering technology in electromechanical installation & maintenance program at UniKL MSI prepares graduates with the technical skills for rewarding careers in their chosen discipline: the application, installation, manufacturing operation and/or maintenance of electronic systems. Other than instructing student in the latest electrical and electronic technology, computer application software, laboratory equipment, and the operation of electronic systems, the program also exposes them to critical thinking skills, analyzing and solving technical problems and the use of information acquisition tools.

x over y
A few days ago my boss became a grandfather for the second time to a baby girl. He sent me a picture of her the day after she was born which read 'We are overjoyed to announce that our beautiful princess has arrived'.
My boss, Terry Gough is the the Head Gardener for Hampton Court Palace, UK. From the moment he found out his daughter-in-law was pregnant, we had countless conversations about how much he hoped she would be having a girl. As you can imagine, I was totally amazed and in awe of this. In fact, everyone in his family had their fingers crossed that the newborn baby would be a girl.
Naturally I shared with him the dismay some South Asian families feel when a baby girl is born in their family. Although mindsets towards baby girls are changing, more so now than ever before, there are still pockets of individuals and families that promote the desire for the son, nephew, grandson. Thankfully, the diaspora are making conscious efforts to educate society and those around them, that the sex of the child bears no relevance anymore.
Certain statements in our exchange of conversations have really stuck with me. For instance, my boss has two sons who are both married, one of whom is the parent of the baby girl. My boss would tell me how he desired a daughter for his wife, for the sake of her happiness. On the contrary, in our culture I have heard how women feel inadequate for not being able to provide their husband with a son, and I understand how this sense of inadequacy would be born from the fact that family members and the community might be adding that extra pressure. Terry told me, 'It'll be nice to have a little granddaughter. You know, for my wife.' I remember a look of sorrow in his eyes when he relayed this thought with me. When his granddaughter arrived, he said he felt his family was complete. These are comments we are used to hearing when a boy is born.
I for one am pleasantly surprised to hear how the arrival of this baby girl in this particular family has been eagerly anticipated, and her arrival has been met with so much joy and relief; feelings that are associated when a baby boy in the South Asian culture. I hope that one day in the near future, such comments and conversations become the norm across the world, because clearly, the fact that I am writing this post means we are not quite there yet.

Hotter temperatures cut academic achievement by inhibiting cognitive skill development, but more air conditioning in schools can mitigate those harms, new research on U.S. students shows.
Why it matters: The findings on how heat lowers the "productivity of instructional time" provides new data points on the effect of higher temperatures on human welfare and performance. (The National Bureau of Economic Research circulated the paper on Monday, and it can be downloaded here.) It concludes that air conditioning's economic benefits far outweigh installation and operation costs.

Full permission to eat at any time and whatever food. what does that look like? Right now, I'm not 100% sure. I would say wholeheartedly, that by God's grace, I don't have any more fear foods. I've realized that some of the old 'ED' thoughts have been creeping back in in the past few weeks after I've delved a bit too deep into gut healing that masks itself and steers me back towards diet culture.
but I think full permission to eat goes deeper:
What does it look like in my mind especially as I've watched other girls I love and respect take those leaps in recovery?
#1 – Not judging my hunger at all. If I'm really hungry on a day without activity, I need to just. eat. period. Eat and not analyze any of the calories.
#2 – full permission to eat what my body craves NOT what Instagram says is the most 'healthy' or 'trendy' food to eat.
#3 – if something sounds good, go eat it and be thankful for it. don't sit there analyzing the decision in my head.
Ok, so some of those are hard for me to imagine.
Ok, now I'm moving onto some thoughts and linking up with Meg for Week in Review.
It's been one week since my 3rd marathon, and I'm feeling good. I'm thankful for one full week off of running, and I went for a short run today.
This week included a lot of baking including the best EVER cookies from Haley's blog. (I used butter instead of coconut oil)
This week my sister and I did a photo shoot. It included a lot of laughter and awkward poses. (Who else is awkward about posing on camera?)
This week I also realized that fresh canned pumpkin tastes really good with a generous amount of nut or seed butter on a banana with some of the best granola (Ellie sent me some which was amazing!)
Psalm 36:7, 'How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.'
God is so good y'all. I can not tell you all the tough things that we went through this year, but here's a small list.
Tough But Good Things:
Having my AMAZING Grandma here for 7 weeks and having to say goodbye to her.
Losing 2 dear friends and their pilot in a helicopter crash.
Starting a relationship but after a few months God directed me away from it. It was still tough, even though it was freeing knowing where God wanted me.
Thoughts going into the next week:
'Aaahhhhh…. the conference we're cooking for is coming up in 2 weeks. O_O'
'Aaaahhhh …. CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING are almost here.'
'AAHHHHH ……. I WANT to stop Calorie Counting. . .'
I'm excited, grateful, a bit anxious about stopping calorie counting. I want to pour syrup without 'eyeing it.' I have come a LONG way in recovery, and this really feels like the next step God has been pushing me gently towards, and I am trusting Him and trying to think up a 'battle attack' plan of being ready to tackle this calorie counting and get rid of it once and for all.
Full permission to eat whenever and whatever your body needs: What does that look like?


text: Whangamata Community Strategic Plan It's your community and your future, so you were asked what you want for Whangamata over the next decade. In preparing to create the strategic plan, the Whangamata Community Board came up with five key strategic objectives and 16 critical actions that we believe will help retain everything we all love about Whangamata today; while setting it up for an even better future. The objectives and actions for Whangamata were included in a short summary of key objectives and actions which went out for public consultation in March/April 2015. The feedback received in this consultation was incorporated into the community strategic plan, in order to help capture and retain your priorities. The plan is being used to inform/influence Council's budgeting in the Annual Plan and/or Long Term Plan. The Community Plan is a reflection of our shared aspirations. We will achieve these goals working together. How do I contribute? The strategic community plan is forming the basis for further discussions and workshops with the community, so there's plenty of scope for people to get involved. Dates for these will be advertised as they are planned. If you are interested in being further involved in helping to develop this plan please get in touch with the Whangamata Community Board.

It is that time of the year, when the sun is beaming, children are rejoicing and the country is celebrating the beginning of Harvest season. Harvest festivals are celebrated all over India at different times of the year, and now is the time when states like Assam, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Punjab celebrate the commencement of a brand new year, praying for future prosperity and thanking god for a bountiful harvest.
Mid-April marks the beginning of new harvest and people in different parts of the country celebrate and rejoice this time of the year with family and friends. While a lot of festivals in India are religious festivals, those surrounding the harvest are celebrated by the community as a whole, truly giving meaning to Unity in Diversity! Here are some of the popular harvest festivals which are celebrated this month.
Bihu: The beautiful state of Assam celebrates Bohag Bihu in April, marking the arrival of spring time. This festival is celebrated for three days with gusto and delight, praying for plentiful harvest and prosperity. The first day begins with Cow bihu, where the cattle are washed, their horns are painted and they are worshipped with flowers, incense sticks and fruits. The cow sheds are lit up with lamp oils and fragrant incense, once the cows return to their shelter. Manuh Bihu is celebrated on the second day of the festival, where people dress in new clothes and rejoice as a community with folk dance and music. The third day of Bihu is called Gosai, where idols are decorated with garlands, worshipped with incense sticks, flowers, fruits and other items.
Baisakhi: Baisakhi is one of the most popular festivals of Punjab. It is usually celebrated on the 13th of April every year and 14th on rare occasions. It is celebrates the founding of Khalsa or the Sikh community as well as the beginning of the harvest year. People visit the Gurudvara and temples on this day and offer flowers to the almighty and worship the god by lighting lamp, burning fragrant incense, offering garlands etc. The Sikh community all over the world celebrate this festival with dancing, singing, music and delicious food.
Vishu: Vishu is a big day in Kerala, people across the state celebrate this festive occasion with joy and merriment. It is marked as the New Year, celebrated on the first day of Medam – a Malayali month. The day is celebrated by worshipping the divine – Vishukanni by offering rice, linen, the holy text, scented oils and other religious items. People wear new clothes and celebrate the occasion by singing and dancing to the folk music.
All these festivals are celebrated on the same day for the same reason, yet the diversity in culture and people is clearly evident in the style of celebration.

Local teens hold cabaret to raise money for scholarship
ITHACA, NY- In a heartfelt cabaret, a talented group of local teens will lift their voices in song to raise money for a music scholarship. The event, "Connectivity: A Body Song Story" will be held at the Black Box Theater at Ithaca High School on Saturday, March 18, at 2:00 pm. The performance will feature numbers from popular musicals interwoven with an original script. Homemade baked goods will be available for purchase.
The cabaret's theme is the yearning to connect with others and build relationships between lovers, friends, sisters, and mentors. The script was written by Rachel Frank, a junior at Newfield High School, who has also written two published novels. According to Frank, the joy of love and the discord of heartbreak will be reflected in the cabaret songs, like "When He Sees Me" from Waitress, and "What You Mean to Me" from Finding Neverland.
The goal of the cabaret is to help young singers gain vital experience through private lessons, group rep classes, and in performance. All the cabaret performers are voice students at Body Song Voice Studio, founded and run by Sharon Costianes, which will administer the scholarship.
Previous scholarship recipient Christian Henry said that receiving the scholarship at Body Song "has really made it possible for me to be successful. Without these lessons I would not be the performer I am today." Henry recently had a lead role in Opera Ithaca's "Thumbprint."
Laura Fegely, another scholarship recipient, said that "being in Sharon's studio helped me so much with my self-confidence. Monthly rep class helped me learn to sing in front of people." Fegely is now pursuing a BFA in musical theater at Viterbo University.
"This program is geared to really support students who love to perform. They work hard to hone their craft both as vocal technicians, and as actors," said Costianes. "It's demanding work. And they love it! So do I. It's an honor to work with them."
The scholarship fund was established in 2013 for teens who can't afford the private lessons necessary to succeed as a vocalist performer. The idea came from students who wanted to see their talented but less fortunate friends have access to the same level of training they themselves enjoyed. The teens hope to raise enough money from the Connectivity cabaret to fully support at least one student's tuition next year.
"We wanted other kids to have the opportunity we've had to learn vocal training in such a good environment," said Keara Byron, a Body Song alumna now pursuing a BFA in musical theater at Ithaca College.
All the teens performing in the cabaret are also active members of Ithaca's theatre community. Many of them have starred in school plays, Running to Places productions, and regional professional theatre. Some of them also sing with the Ithaca Children's Youth Choir and Vitamin L, as well as their school choirs.
Admission is free, but donations will be requested for admittance.

Creative Inspire T6300
Quick delivery as usual, woofer is very powerful for normal HDB bedroom I have to turn all the way down (not to annoy others). 2 Big LR speakers are quite powerful (better than my previous 2.1 system) and output is crisp and nice. 3 mid sized C,RL & RR are quite good too. I like the wired remote control for ON/OFF/Vol. The only thing missing is external jack for headphone. I got this with 25% discount so I'm not complaining about that, besides my PC support two set of audio out simultaneously. If you want a nice powerful 5.1 speakers under S$100, this is the ideal choice.
Received my order today,sound amazing this sound card (Blaster Z) the clarity,sound lively,effortless bass from the Sub, accompanied by creative T6300 5.1 i had setup,of cos needed to do some minor sound tuning using the sound control panel. Brilliant..even Polk Audio can't compare this day and age. Kudos to Creative technology, maybe you can create/produce a surround AV receiver that surpass the rest of the top brand to shame. I'm glad, very happy i bought this 2 item,worth every penny. 6 stars- BRILLIANT
Got my speakers less than a week after order was placed. I love the speakers.
