the dataset
Repository accreditation
access to the dataset
dataset persistence
dataset stability
People are interested in wether the repository is safe, is a good/trusted source of data, archives their data, authorship is good, repository support is good
Right now there isn't any organization that would be able to do this, to authoritatively accredit a repository. There's no plan, no schedule, etc...
between Geoscience Data Journal (GDJ) and a data repository (BACD/NCAR)
A registry in the middle to certify data centers are "trustworthy"
Question/Comment: Peer reviewed datasets ... provenance could/should play a significant role in this, being able to trace back to the authors, publishers, algorithms, etc...
Question: Where do we discover any citations of a given dataset? Seems that many times publications, presentations are written, citing the dataset, without the dataset publisher, curator, author being notified?
Question: Data correction. The paper was written and published given a certain dataset. If the dataset is "corrected" then it could certainly effect the results that are published in the paper. So is the data citation more of a comment to that?

text: If you're off on your summer travels, check out Suicoke. You can walk for miles in a pair of the Japanese brand's flats. Known for its practical sandals and sporty slip-ons, there's a masculine feel throughout the collection. Think contrasting platforms with teeth, chunky Velcro straps and gunmetal hardware. And it's not just hills they can tread, you can even attempt a jog wearing them too.

. Less severe, less dramatic than neighbouring Cumberland, this county lying to the southeast and with only a tiny access to the sea at Morecambe Bay, makes up the centre of the rightly famed Lake District. The mountain scenery is incredibly varied, and here are the two largest lakes - Windermere and Ullswater and the most popular peak, Helvellyn (the latter two sites are shared with Cumberland).
. A complex series of geological actions formed the land we know as Lakeland. The valleys we see were formed by glacial action, cutting ravines and scooping paths into great domes of rock. The mountains of Lakeland aredramatic yet they are mere worn-down crags compared to 26 million years ago when the hills first thrust up from below. Now these wide, spacious valleys, containing lovely clear water lakes, left behind when the great glaciers melted 10,000 years ago, are splendid in spring, and make wonderful walks. High Street is a walk along the tops of surprisingly steep hills.
. The eastern part bumps against the range of the Pennines, and here are deep narrow valleys.
Origin of name: Westmorland comes from the Old English Westmoringland, meaning "land of the people west of the moors".
Name first recorded: 966 as Westmoringland.
APPLEBY A charming and quiet place and this eastern stretch is a lure for anglers in the rivers Eden and Lune. The county town has a fine castle and it's a good centre for walkers. The famous Settle to Carlisle rail line, the highest and most expensive link in England, runs through the valley, providing a ride over dramatic viaducts and through deep tunnels.
Other Towns
AMBLESIDE Was on the route of the Roman road from Ravenglass and Hardknott to Penrith and the Roman fort of Galava stood between the town and the lake. Today hotels, B&Bs and souvenir shops jostle for space in this popular Lakes centre. The curious 18th-century Bridge House is well worth a stroll by.
BOWNESS-ON-WINDERMERE Sited to the east of the largest natural lake in England (covers 10.5 miles from north to south) and geared to fell-walking and waterspouts. Boating and steamer trips nearby.
GRASMERE Has the Wordsworth museum and is a good centre for nearby Easdale Tarn and Grasmere lake.
KENDAL Old town with top-notch shopping centre, it has many grey limestone buildings, noted for its woollen goods since the days of Edward I.
KIRKBY LONSDALE On the extreme southern border this was the 'Lowton' in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (she went to school close by), it has a Norman church with a fine strong pillared interior, but it's more famous for the view of high fells and the Lune from its churchyard, which was painted by Turner. Along the Lune valley lies the three-arched Devil's Bridge dating back to 1275, when tolls were taken for the privilege of crossing it. Follow the Ruskin Walks (he was smitten with the place).
KIRKBY STEPHEN Set amid the moorland of the Eden valley where the river views really are splendid. The nine cairns of Nine Standards Rigg (2,008 feet) form a dramatic backdrop.
SHAP A much quieter place since the M6 motorway opened; has the easily missed 12th century Shap Abbey beside the Lowther.
. Milnthorpe
Eden and Rothay.
Helvellyn at 3,118 feet (shared with Cumberland).
. March and April: Daffodil tours.
. Regular shows at Kendnl'3 Abbot Hall Gallery. Also projects at the Brewery Arts Centre.
. June: Appleby has a gypsy horse fair and trotting races in spring.
. Speedboat races on Windermere on Saturdays.
. Rush bearing at Ambleside and Grasmere on two summer Saturdays.
. Summer sports days at Grasmere, and at Ambleside.
. September: Westmorland County Show at Kendal.
. Beatrix Potter is best known as a writer of children's books and creator of Peter Rabbit, but locally she was better known as a breeder of Herdwick sheep. Although her house was in Sawrey, across the border in Lancashire, she owned much land in Westmorland which she left to the National Trust.
. The Lake District which Westmorland forms apart of, lured romantic artists and writers 200 years ago,. William Wordsworth is best known, but poets Southey and Coleridge also came here, and the critic and social reformer Ruskin.
. Lady Anne Clifford was a redoubtable royalist sympathiser of Civil War times who built and restored many landmarks in and around Appleby.
local government
The County of Westmorland is under the two-tier local government system. Cumbria County Council and the two districts of South Lakeland (shared with the Counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire) and Eden (shared with the County of Cumberland) are the service providers.
DRIVE UP THE M6 and you see the peaks in the distance. You are entering one of Britain's most beautiful counties and the gorgeous gateway to the Lakes. Yonder lie heather and bracken-covered fells, hills and moor towering into an ever-changing sky. By contrast, the lower part of thecounty around Kendal is a completely different kettle of fish to feast your eyes on.
This county has two kinds of settlement: those on the tourist track and those that somehow have contrived to remain resolutely hidden. It's hard, nevertheless, to hide away here and much of Westmorland is busy with the curious who come here to enjoy the splendid scenery and the exhilarating air, but who also sadly clog the roads and even crowd the footpaths, especially in spring and summer and on weekends.
Still, some villages such as Kentmere, Bampton and Rosgill have stayed away from the continuous flow but it takes an effort to find them. They also seem to melt into the landscape, for Lakeland houses use local slate and rough lichened stone for walls, though these are often whitewashed. If you want to see conventional Lakeland places then confine your explorations to wandering round Kendal and Windermere, or the smaller centres of Grasmere and Troutbeck. They still have much atmosphere to offer and need less effort. However, if your hankering is for the wild places of Lakeland then put on your walking shoes, or climbing boots, for you will need to mount up into the deep green valleys or even clamber up into the hills. Kendal is a bustling road and rail centre for the area and also a market town and shopping centre. It's excellent for local souvenirs, not least of which is the famous Kendal Mint Cake. There is the excellent Abbot Hall art gallery and museum of local Lakeland life and industry in the adjacent stable block. The 18th-century house has a collection of antique furniture and paintings by Turner, Reynolds and the Kendal-born society painter Romney as well as modern pictures and sculpture. Why this town should have become a centre for snuff-making may be due to the 14th- century weavers who set up a woollen and dyeing industry here (the green cloth worn by English archers, Kendal Green, got a mention in Shakespeare's Henry IV) and exported their wares to America later on in return for tobacco and snuff. The snuff factory is on Lowther Street.
Ambleside is the town most people think of as the middle of the district and it is always crowded with visitors, particularly walkers, for here there are many fellside walks. One will take you up to the waterfall at Stockgill Force. Other walks lead to lonely heights where it's still possible to be on your own with the moorland birds and the sheep.
Bowness-on-Windermere curls comfortably along its long lake, and this handsome town offers good hotels and places to eat as well as Lakeland bread and cakes from local bakeries. There is also a splendid 15th-century church containing fine medieval glass. From here you hire a boat, or make excursions on boats touring the lake, or take a ferry across to Lancashire to see Sawrey, Hawkshead and the clear sheet of Coniston Water. From points around, notably from the top of Orrest Head, are wonderful views of the countryside. As you approach Bowness the views down to Lake Windermere through evergreen trees and rhododendrons are superb. Grasmere's noted place of literary pilgrimage is Dove Cottage, where Wordsworth lived for nine years. The house and a museum of relics can be visited. He also lived at Rydal Mount and from here are views of Rydal Water. Fell racing to the top of Butter Crags and hound trailing take place during the annual August games called Grasmere Sports, an English version of the Highland games which also features a local form of wrestling. Grasmere specialities include gingerbread. From here it's a short distance to Chapel Stile and Langdale Valley - the place for serious climbers, with the rock faces of the Pikes providing the challenges. You can take a dramatic walk from Dungeon Gill to the waterfalls and Stickle Tarn. Kentmere is approached from Windermere along a bridle way which gives views along Troutbeck Valley from Garburn Pass. Kirkston Pass, the road linking Windermere to Patterdale, is a high steep ascent up to the Kirkstone Pass Inn.. From Patterdale it's possible to take lake trips on Ullswater and there are many easy lakeside walks, but this village with its holy well of St Patrick is best known as a centre for tackling a trek up to the highest peak here, Helvellyn. Alternatively, you can go from the west along an easier route from Thirlspot, along the east shore of Thirlmere. It's a good hike up to the mile-long ridge of Striding Edge, but the fabulous views take in the whole of Lakeland and beyond on a good day. East of Patterdale is the loneliest lake, Haweswater, which was deepened and enlarged when it was made into a reservoir with a dam, which was built in 1940.
At Crosby Ravensworth, near Shap, there are groups of circular huts that were once lived in by Romano-Britons, while at Crosby Garrett there is evidence of Celtic houses, three closely set villages in small square fields and boundary banks are Iron Age survivals. Norsemen settled at Ambleside here in the 10th century. Brough Castle, built on the site of a Roman fort, stands against the sky. It's a ruin now, but was once the stronghold of Baron Clifford, a cruel foe who gave it the name of Castle of the Butcher. You can see local archaeological finds in Kendal's museum, and at nearby Sizergh Castle built around a peeltower, there is a number of fine carved Elizabethan over mantels. Levens Hall is also an ancient peel tower with an Elizabethan mansion. It has famous topiary gardens laid out in the 17th century and a collection of working steam engines. At Townend in Troutbeck you can browse through a 17th-century house showing old domestic implements.

Let's face it: it takes major cojones to stick a firecracker in your ass and take a dump in a hardware store's display toilet. With the possible exception of the funny opening sequence set to "Carmina Burana," there's no real cinematic flavor to Jackass: The Movie though there is some insight buried beneath the non-stop buffoonery. Not only does a paper cut scenario prove to be one of the film's more squeamish moments but Steve-O's refusal to stick a toy car into his anus suggests that there is a point where his otherwise understanding parents will be disappointed by his actions. Johnny Knoxville is more likely to make the cover of GQ than Tom Green but I still prefer the latter's poker-faced ability to test the patience of everyone around him. As such, the best sequences here are those shot in Japan or those that specifically observe how people react to Jackass behavior. (It's during these moments that Spike Jonze's hands are most evident.) Everything else, though, has been seemingly thrown onto the screen with the hope that the audience will lose its lunch. For fans of MTV's now defunct Jackass series, the best thing that can be said about Jackass: The Movie is that it offers more of the same but with an NC-17 twist. The more discriminating fan, though, may just toss aside this 82-minute ball-buster as three "Jackass" episodes shamelessly pieced together by Paramount and MTV in an attempt to make a few bucks from Knoxville's last hoorah. While it's mildly amusing at times, Jackass: The Movie grows progressively more tiresome as it moves along.
Audio and video on this Special Collector's Edition of Jackass: The Movie is about as good as it gets for something shot on high-fi video verité. Though some scenes actually look and sound worse than anything that has ever played on the MTV show, that's what you get with a film made on-the-fly by amateurs. Despite some compression artifacts here and there, this TV-grade transfer is perfectly serviceable.
Fans of the TV show can do themselves a favor and skip the commentary track by director Jeff Tremaine, cinematographer Dimitry Elyashkevich and star Johnny Knoxville and head straight to the second commentary track featuring five members from the film's cast. Where the first commentary track is overly technical and mundane, the second serves as a lively substitute for the film's existing dialogue and sound. Seven minutes are wasted on a series of lame outtakes but there are several gems hidden within the 27 minutes of additional footage: if "Sand Vagina" ultimately disappoints, "Pocket Ass Return" and "Poo River Pole Vault" surely won't. Also included here are two atrocious music videos, nine promo spots, a theatrical trailer, cast and crew biographies, and a photo and poster gallery.
What with all the vomiting, shitting and rampant homoeroticism, Jackass: The Movie is the closest thing the average Joe has to a prison-life simulation.

Hello Shinafae!
This is my first discussion post ever so I find it fitting to be toward the lock I research.
In FL content I used to end in about 22-24k dps on most boss fights, with the last 25% of the boss being where I'd climb the charts. However after 4.3 I just can't seem to reach these numbers as affliction. Even on Ultraxion which is hardly any movement at all.
I follow your lock a lot and use you as a template for reforging and what not. A few weeks back I saw you reforged more into mastery and dropped you haste down to roughly 2400-2600s but see you have reforged again to be over 3k haste.
I have Destro OS but find I never use aff on any boss due to my personal lack of dps.
Of course my numbers won't be anywhere near yours since I dont have the legendary staff and only raid 10m regs but hoping you can help me in anyway you can.
Grats on H-MoD Kill and look forward to hearing from my top pick Warlock.

We live in strange economic times, stranger perhaps than at any other point in history. Since 2007-2008, the globally intertwined and dependent fiscal system has suffered considerable declines in every conceivable area. Manufacturing around the world is in a slump, from Japan to China to Europe, with the minimal manufacturing accomplished in the U.S. also fading. Consumption is falling, most notably in petroleum and raw materials. Employment is truly dismal, with the U.S. posting over 94 million people as "non-participants" in the national work force.

Why not do a Wikileaks type data dump, one which reveals if not all the 2.6 terabytes of data due to security concerns, then at least the identities of these 441 US-based clients. After all, with the rest of the world has already been extensively shamed, it's only fair to open US books as well."
WEB Notes: Make note of the sentence we placed in bold below. There are thousands of these firms in the world. Which means there are a lot more people out there running some very under handed dealings. Of course I am sure this is not a surprise to any of our readers. Americans will only be named if it benefits the children of Satan.
WEB Notes: Have you ever heard of such confusion? There are so many companies that are standing for perversion it would be extremely difficult to boycott them. Not only that your tax dollars go to the U.S. Government who fully supports this abomination.
WEB Notes: These corporations do not care about you. These corporations do not care about making America better. They care about the dollars in their pockets. Of course they will remove these jobs from our nation, yet they fully expect you to still purchase their products.

Dov Charney fired from American Apparel
• american apparel founder
• the company have lost a lot of money recently/not sold as much
• several sexual harassment lawsuits have been filed against him (google, they're horrendous)
• thought to be responsible for imagining their controversial ad campaigns
do you agree that they should have ousted him? do you care?
i've never bought anything from them but i've followed this ever since i found out about the allegations.
never was a dilemma for me as AA is very boring, stupendously overpriced
with jaw-droppingly rapey adverts.
But yep, pretty much ultralol at this.plasticniki, RFWare, ethricdouble, marilyninthesky, NickDS, and Ichor this'd this
- plasticniki this'd this
would've thought AA was right up your street
utilitarian basics made without sweatshop labour.
are you endorsing sweatshop labour?
Pretty difficult to overlook the disgustingly sexist adverts, serial sexual-harrassment merchant owner and the fact that they call a size 12 an XXL though.
- TheoGB this'd this
a size twelve is large though
in american speak.
(is it not like a 16 or an 18 in UK equivalent?)
I think you add four
pretty amazed AA make a UK 16 tbh
No, they call a UK 12 an XL or an XXL
I don't give a toss about UK/US equivalents, they're effectively telling normal sized people that they're abnormally large as a matter of policy and that's abhorrent.
- NickDS, PickledOeuf, Antpocalypsenow, and shadyadie this'd this
I have a couple of AA mini skirts
(they are basically just monocolour stretchy bits of fabric to go around my bum) but this guy sounds like a complete genital and I hope he has to get a shit menial job.
I love AA
brilliant lyrca yoga/ dance wear and some cute skater skits and dresses.
As for teh dued- an amazing entrepreneur, no doubt as to that, but also an agotists who probably thought he could get away with murder.
Guess when you take your company public through greed you're not able to exercise the same level of control.
Still a bit off to sack youyr mnajority shareholder, and of course (unless he is tied into selling out on an exit as an excutive) then he still controls the company because he is the majority shareholder, hehehe.
i love the way i can tell it's your post straight away from the typosPickledOeuf this'd this
wonder if it's much of a coincidence
that the sex harassment allegations are being taken more seriously now the company is headed down the shitter...
- PickledOeuf, umlaut_ampersand, and Lo-Pan this'd this
Pretty weird it's taken this long to oust him
They seem to have been circling the drain for years now. This eg from four years ago http://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/aug/25/rise-fall-american-apparelAntpocalypsenow this'd this
Their clothes really do stand the test of time.
Have a few AA t-shirts and tops from like 5 years ago and they're still in great condition.
But yeah, everyone involved from the head office bigwigs to the retail assistants, seem like massive dickheads.
I have some 15+ year old Gap t-shirts.
They cost me less (even allowing for inflation) than AA ever charged for their t-shirts.
so you can buy t-shirts for less than AA charge
what's your point?
- umlaut_ampersand, fidel_catstro, and marckee this'd this
basically all humans are at fault
AA were apparently one of about six companies making non-sweatshop basics in the states, bumbling along in the small time until they started with the creepy creeperson advertising, then BOOM
we are all horrible
apart from Ant
their clothes are bad looking and make people look stupid
plus that guy
Can people please stop saying AA
It's making me want a drink.
my sisters firm is doing the (automobile) AA IPO and at first I thought she meant American Apparel and laughed in her face
what na intersting deal to be working on!
I'm doing a takeover in the autumn which is going to be SO EXCITING* but obvs can't say who it is because INSIDER TRADING.
*souldestroying and downright annoying for ten weeks with blaze of glory right at the end
she's not working on it directly
(this is accountant sister not lawyer sister) but the amount of money made my eyes water a bit... sometimes i think something like corporate finance sounds kinda fun but the hours and amount of hard work not so much.
"sometimes i think something like corporate finance sounds kinda fun"
I remember going in that AA with Zapsta and Emily was there
nothing eventful happened
Uniqlo FTW
Excellent basics, and don't stock stupid hats.
Well, it's a start
A Swedish blogger has blogged extensively about the entire exploitative work practices of American Apparel
get your google translates out and you'll realise that on those 'borderline rape' ads you see you're often seeing way past the borderline
Should have been sacked years ago for having a stupid name
And all the other stuff, obviously
I've never really paid attention to them
But I know their adverts seem pretty sexist
Didn't realize this guy was such a jerk. Good riddance I suppose and I'm glad the company is doing badly, because I don't really like the idea of ethical capitalism being used as a marketing tool for corporations anyway. You're bad stop pretending you aren't.
I mean taking aside all the issues with AA, even if you dislike "corporations", surely an ethical corporation is better than an unethical one. Degrees of change and all that.j0hn this'd this
There's a good Zizek thing on this subject
On YouTube but I'm on my phone cba to link itRFWare this'd this
That's not what he said.
It's the idea of using being 'ethical' as marketing.
It's kind of like a serial killer appealing for the chance to kill more people because they claim they don't kill animals.
- TheWza and Hello_Sadness this'd this
he's basically the terry richardson of clothing
so in that way, he's awful and it's nice to see him fucked off
their employing local people at fair rates policy is nice but their profitability seems to rest entirely on convincing self-conscious munters like me that they'd look good in tube socks and 70s running shorts, so i wonder if they'd ever have had any success at all without the gonzo nips-out photography
it's an indictment of us all but ethical working conditions aren't quite... sexy enough... to make people defect from h&m
anyway at least this prick can't force young girls to blow him anymoretwentynine and umlaut_ampersand this'd this
This thread is actually the first time I've ever heard of their ethics
I mean, I've never once seen an advert that made the point that in buying from them you were supporting ethical supply. I might well have been swayed to buy more stuff if that was the case.
Hoodies and t-shirts were the only thing they did that I took an interest in, tbf.
Their advertising
Is questionable, but then I suppose there always will be an ongoing debate about art vs porn.
However what really concerns me is the models they have used in the past look a lot younger than 16, almost pre-pubesant.
I don't go in there, I have no interest or desire to buy leg warmers/leotards to be honest.
I think on a positive note at least they/he addressed not using sweatshops and the fact he set up his own business in his dorm - I think that's pretty admirable.
When a company sees a rapid decline in revenue it is often much easier to sack the face of the company than to look at the real problem. It's PR bollocks really.
great t-shirts and hoodies
really durable and well cut. dunno why their jeans have never been good, jeans are the one thing i always have issues keeping intact.
A friend of mine worked with him there
She quit.
She 100% believes every case is true, and has some more horrendous stories about him.

Many mornings in Rocky Mountain National Park dawn cloudless. While nobody will ever complain about a sunny bluebird mountain day, clouds help make iconic views even more dramatic. This particular morning the clouds over Hallet Peak just below Dream Lake were impeccable. The clouds drifting over Hallet Peak and reflecting in this small tarn made for a perfect morning of photography in Rocky. Photo © copyright by Thomas Mangan.

DENVER (AP) The Nashville Predators didn't break out the bubbly or anything rowdy like that after becoming the first NHL team to clinch a playoff spot this season.
"Business as usual http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline ... gan-jersey ," defenseman Ryan Ellis said of the low-key celebration that included some pizza. "Back to work."
Colton Sissons and Filip Forsberg each scored twice, backup goaltender Juuse Saros stopped 33 shots and the Predators secured their postseason berth by beating the Colorado Avalanche 4-2 on Friday night.
Article continues below ...
The streaking Predators are 13-0-1 in their last 14 games and haven't lost in regulation since Feb. 17 against Detroit.
"The guys knew with a win tonight we would clinch and I think they fought hard for it," coach Peter Laviolette said. "I really liked our game tonight."
Starting goalie Pekka Rinne was given the night off after helping Nashville to a win Thursday at Arizona. The team didn't miss a beat with Saros in net.
Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog had the goals for a Colorado team that returned home after earning two straight road wins, including Thursday in St. Louis. The loss snapped Colorado's string of nine straight games with a point. The squad still remains in the thick of the playoff chase.
Semyon Varlamov turned back 24 shots as he started both games of a back-to-back for the first time this season.
"There's no rest at this time of the year. We have to make a push," Varlamov said. "Nashville's a really good team, tough to play against Redskins Troy Apke Jersey , but I think we played strong today, had a really good game. We just didn't score. We had a couple good chances at the end."
MacKinnon nearly tied the game late in the third period, but his shot hit off the shoulder of Saros. Nashville also weathered two penalties by P.K. Subban in the final period. Colorado pulled Varlamov in the final two minutes and it led to a game-sealing goal by Forsberg into an empty net with 1:09 remaining.
Landeskog gave the Avalanche a 2-1 lead in the second, but Forsberg tied it three minutes later. Sissons put the Predators up for good when his shot clanged off the crossbar and dropped into the net.
The Predators have at least one point in a franchise-best 14 consecutive road games.
"We're just working hard. We played last night, got in late, but everybody's here Cheap Darius Leonard Jersey , everybody's working hard," Forsberg said. "It doesn't have to be pretty. Get the job done."
It was a rare home loss for Colorado, which is 14-2-1 over its last 17 games at the Pepsi Center. Then again, the Predators have long given their Central Division rival fits. They've won 10 straight over the Avalanche, including six in a row in Denver.
"They might be one of the better teams in the league, no doubt Titans Harold Landry Jersey ," Landeskog said. "For us, it's just a matter of learning from this one and moving on."
Sissons scored in the first period by sending in a shot off Varlamov's shoulder. With just under a minute remaining in the period, MacKinnon fired in a shot to tie it at 1. It was his NHL-leading 60th point at home.
MacKinnon's goal was set up by a pass from Tyson Barrie, who ran his point streak to nine games and matched the longest by an Avalanche defenseman since the team moved to town in 1995-96.
"You have to be happy with our effort," Colorado coach Jared Bednar said.
Laviolette felt the same way, and took a measure of pride in becoming the first team to clinch. Now Cheap Mason Rudolph Jersey , about that muted celebration.
"There's no champagne in there," he said. "We're moving on."
NOTES: Nashville improved to 7-1-1 in the second game of a back-to-back this season, while Colorado dropped to 3-7-0. … Avalanche D Erik Johnson (upper body) and Bernier skated Friday. … F Vladislav Kamenev (arm) will return to Denver this weekend after being loaned to San Antonio of the American Hockey League on a conditioning assignment. … Alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn attended the game. She earned a bronze medal in the downhill at the Pyeongchang Olympics.
Predators: Finish a three-game trip at Buffalo on Monday.
Avalanche: Host the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

Dear Kid,
Sunday, Dad and I headed west. Not far west, just west enough to go to Fernald Preserve (which used to be Fernald Nuclear Weapons and Site Contamination Plant) to see a presentation by Raptor Inc.
Back in the day (and by "day" I mean 1951 to 1989), Fernald was a uranium processing facility. In 1984, the plant came under a wee bit of criticism (and by "wee bit" I mean the proverbial doo doo hit the proverbial fan) because the plant had been busy releasing radioactive uranium dust into the atmosphere. Cue environmental outrage and multi-headed ducks. Fast forward through stuff your father finds fascinating and me not so much, and the entire 1,050 acre area is a Nature Preserve (and Superfund site).
Sunday, Raptor Inc held a Standing Room Only event at Fernald. While I met some glorious birds, Dad went through the museum and Learned All the History. We both felt we'd spent our time well.
While I wasn't personally introduced (because A) there were zillions of people in attendance and B) these are wild birds who prefer to stay on highly formal terms), I got to admire several raptors.
The first was Ollie, the Great Horned Owl. He is perfectly fine as far as physical abilities, but he seems (according to the experts) a few cards shy of a deck.
The second bird they brought out was Storm, a Barn Owl who lost a wing in 2007. Storm is loud, which is to say it sounded like someone was being murdered as he was brought out. This is (apparently) how he greets all audiences. I don't speak owl (I only speak Puppy), so I can't say whether he was happily announcing his presence or suggesting we all go home.
After that came Wildwood, a Red Shouldered Hawk, who puffed himself up to show that even though he was held by a human, he's still a big 'ol dude who Is To Be Reckoned With. He has an injured wing and can't be released. That did not at all impact his ability to glare which he did extremely well.
The final raptor of the day wasn't. Wasn't a raptor that is. The finale was Earl the Turkey Vulture. Earl was raised (illegally) by humans and is convinced that she (yep, she's a she) is a person. She imprinted on her humans and has no idea how to be a Turkey Vulture. Originally, Earl was thought to be male (the coloring for TVs is the same for both genders). Then one day she laid an egg. Voila! Gender reassignment. So Earl the Girl is now a show girl, spreading her wings for audiences to appreciate.
All in all a lovely outing.
Love, Mom

"I can't think of another pair, of ancient stories which are so similar, and yet so seldom compared! Both Abraham and Athamas were divinely commanded to sacrifice, each their own son, with a knife on a mountain top, and each was about to comply when the child was saved, each by the miraculous appearance of a ram".
John R. Salverda
Can we find traces of Abraham (Abram) and Sarah (Sarai) also in other ancient traditions?
Indeed, it appears that we can. The pair are commonly likened to, for instance, the Hindu pair Brahma and Sarasvati. Thus we read in:
Brahma and Abraham: Divine Covenants of Common Origin
Regarding the link between Abraham and Brahma, Steven Rosen writes:
The similarities between the names of Abraham and Brahma have not gone unnoticed. Abraham is said to be the father of the Jews, and Brahma, as the first created being, is often seen as the father of mankind.
Abraham's name is derived from the two Semitic words ab meaning 'father' and
raam/raham meaning 'of the exalted….' We might also note that the name of Brahma's consort Sarasvati seems to resonate with that of Abraham's wife, Sarah [… each one's identity as a wife and/or sister]. Also, in India, the Sarasvati River includes a tributary known as the Ghaggar…. According to Jewish tradition, Hagar was Sarah's maidservant…. Both Brahmins … and Jews see themselves as the 'chosen people of God'. The Hebrews began their sojourn through history as a 'kingdom of priests' (Exodus 19:6). Likewise, Brahmins are also a community of priests. ….
Now, good friend John R. Salverda claims also to have found compelling likenesses between Abraham and the Minyan Athamas (of Greek legend), and between Sarah and Nephele, the wife of Athamas:
Abraham, Athamas and the Minyans
Minyans, Kurds, Armenians, and UR.
Abraham and the Ram-Lamb?
The Almost-Consummated Sacrifice of the Son!
Competing Wives and their Allegorical Significance.
Isaac and the Mountain.
Different Hebrew Traditions Coalesced in Greek Mythology.
Minyans, Kurds, Armenians, and UR
Here I shall take what I would consider to be the most compelling comparisons in this article:
Abraham and the Ram-Lamb?
The Minyans, as Hurrians from Armenia, knew well the story of the Hebrew, Abraham, they called him Athamas. The Minyans most likely got their, only slightly tainted, version of the story, brought over by migrants from the area of Carchemish and therefore named its Greek colony at the city of Orchomenus (a plausible transliteration, and supposed by some to have been founded by Athamas himself) after the place. Even a cursory comparison of the two supposedly unrelated stories displays them as remarkably coincidental. Athamas began a movement toward, the abolition of, that age old and wide spread, religious concept, human sacrifice (as well as its companion tradition, cannibalism). Although we praise Abraham for his role in this abolition, it seems that some factions (mainly, the Achaeans) of the ancient Greeks, were of a different opinion. They considered their Abrahamic equivalent Athamas, and his descendants as well, to be cursed for their part in the civilizing of mankind (See Herodotus 7. 197 Athamas the son of Aeolus contrived death for Phrixus, having taken counsel with Ino, and after this how by command of an oracle the Achaeans propose to his descendants the following tasks to be performed: whosoever is the eldest of this race, he is brought forth to the sacrifice. This is done to the descendants of Kytissoros the son of Phrixus, because, he brought the wrath of the gods upon his own descendants.). In both cases, whether Scripture or myth, the abolition of human sacrifice in favor of animal sacrifice (the ram) is the obvious message of the story. Pausanias describes a statue depicting the sacrifice of this ram; "There is also a statue of Phrixus the son of Athamas carried ashore to the Colchians by the ram. Having sacrificed the animal, he has cut out the thighs in accordance with Greek custom and is watching them as they burn." (Pausanias, Description of Greece 1. 24. 2) Take note of the Greek custom of cutting out the thighs as if to make the sacrifice Kosher. There is no doubt in my mind as to where they got such a notion.
The Almost-Consummated Sacrifice of the Son!
Intricate details of Abrahams life appear as parts of the Greek myth as well, I can't think of another pair, of ancient stories which are so similar, and yet so seldom compared! Both Abraham and Athamas were divinely commanded to sacrifice, each their own son, with a knife on a mountain top, and each was about to comply when the child was saved, each by the miraculous appearance of a ram. The ram was considered to have been supplied by God, and was said to have been acceptable to Him as a replacement sacrifice instead of the son of man. … The symbol of the sacrificed lamb of god, appears in the Greek Myth, complete with an association to the Hebrew story of the garden of Eden, for the quest of the Argonauts, like the Biblical quest of all mankind, hangs in (nailed to) a tree, in a sacred grove, there is a serpent, and the way is guarded. Phrixos sacrificed the golden-fleeced ram to Zeus Phyxios, but gave its fleece to Aetes, who nailed it to an oak tree in a grove of Ares." (See Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca 1. 80) "The fleece in Colchis and the apples of the Hesperides, since they seemed to be of gold, two serpents that never slept guarded and claimed as their own." (Philostratus the Elder, Imagines 2. 17. 6) This association begs for the conclusion that these Greeks had some knowledge about the Hebrew concept of the original sin as well as the hopeful promise of the Messiah. No doubt they did, for they knew many intricate details of the Hebrew story, including the sophisticated religious symbolism inherent in the parable of
Abraham's two wives.
Competing Wives and their Allegorical Significance.
Both Abraham, and Athamas, are said to have had a pair of competing wives each of whom were obvious allegories of differing religious concepts. Offspring was gotten from each of the wives, and the quarrel concerned, whose offspring, and their attending religious concept, would be favored, this is true in both stories. Ino is the Greek equivalent of Hagar from the Hebrew story, while Nephele is the counterpart of Sarah. Consider the Ino, Hagar identification first; The Greeks considered Ino to be the loser of the wifely quarrel, she was exiled and had to flee from her family home, with her half dead child in her arms, (Gen. 21:14,15) to the point of her death, when god intervened, granting Ino powerful miraculous abilities over water, thus saving the lives of Ino and her son Melicertes and appointing them to become great religious icons among the People who lived in the land of her exile, which we are told in the myth, was Corinth in Greece. Except for the location and names, all of these motifs are straight from the life of Hagar, who was looked upon as symbolic of earthly Zion, the covenant with slavery and death (Gal. 4 :22-31).
On the other hand, Sarah was symbolic of freedom, the Heavenly Zion, the wife of God (also in Gal. 4:22-31). Now, Consider the identification of Nephele with Sarah; Nephele was created as a duplicate of Hera, the heavenly wife of god, "Zeus formed a figure of Hera out of cloud (Nephele) (Diodorus Siculus, Library of History 4. 69. 4) "a Cloud (Nephele)? its form was like the supreme celestial goddess, the daughter of Kronos. The hands of Zeus set it as a trap for him, a beautiful misery (Pindar, Pythian Ode 2. 32 ff). Zeus fashioned a Cloud (Nephele) to look like Hera (Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca E1. 20). Hers were the favored offspring, who were carried off to the Egyptian land, (That Colchis [in the Caucasus] was an Egyptian land we learn from Herodotus who says:
There can be no doubt that the Colchians are an Egyptian race. Before I heard any mention of the fact from others, I had remarked it myself. After the thought had struck me, I made inquiries on the subject both in Colchis and in Egypt, and I found that the Colchians had a more distinct recollection of the Egyptians, than the Egyptians had of them. Still the Egyptians said that they believed the Colchians to be descended from the [Egyptian] army of Sesostris (Herodotus Histories 2.104) from which they eventually had a miraculous epic deliverance (Argonautica). ….

Vintage Fridays: Hank Bauer, 1964 Topps #178
This was a pretty significant win for Baltimore. It's their fifth in a row, their most runs scored since April 26's 18-7 beatdown of the Red Sox, and it draws them even at 30-30. The Birds hadn't seen the .500 mark since May 5. It was also Buck Showalter's 407th win as the O's manager, tying him with Hank Bauer for third-most in team history behind Earl Weaver and Paul Richards. Pretty good for one night's work.

Long Wait @ LAX
Anyway, what have we done since my last post?
Christmas Eve
This morning, we went to pick-up our rental car from Hertz....Other than going to the Fisherman's Wharf for about an hour, we didn't really go anywhere with the car. We drove it back to the hotel carpark (had to pick the car up on Christmas Eve as Christmas Day was closed), and because it was cheaper to walk to wherever we want to go than take the car. Parking in San Francisco is pretty expensive! Even parking at the hotel costs USD 25/- per day....and this was considered cheap. The other rates that I saw was upwards of USD 29/- plus tax! GILA!!!!
Anyway, we had lunch at a Korean restaurant as I was craving for some noodle soup. H had the Pork Bulgogi. Gosh! Not only their portions were huge, the side dishes that were provided were more than what we were used to.
After lunch, we went to Union Square for some shopping. Errr...bought another winter jacket (as if I live in temperate countries and not tropics!) from Macy's. H bought some i-Tunes cards from the Apple store. We hung around near the Ice-Rink at Union Square till early evening before going back to the hotel for a rest before dinner. Instead of a traditional Xmas Dinner, we opted to go to a Jazz Club. We ended up at Yoshi's San Francisco for Christmas jazz performance. Can't remember the performer's name....
Christmas Day
We checked-out pretty early on Christmas Day....and headed out to Monterey/Carmel. But we did stop at the Cliff House on the Pacific Coast for breakfast first. H and I shared a Eggs San Francisco, which is kinda like Eggs Benedict except that it had Dungeness Crab and some brandy added. It was quite yummy..but expensive. I supposed one has to pay for the views out to the Pacific Ocean. Took some pictures of the coast....will post them when I get back home.
After breakfast, we headed out onto the Freeways for Monterey. Somehow, our drive was longer than anticipated....perhaps because we salah-jalan. I was the navigator utilising the maps on H's i-Phone. Our rental car did not have a GPS. On arrival at Monterey, we went to have a late lunch. Not many places were open (since Christmas Day), and we ended up at The Fish Hopper. H insisted that I have the Monterey Bay Abalone/Scallop dish as I like abalone. But I have to say that nothing beats the Chinese-style of cooking abalone! H had a mussels/clam dish which was not so tasty. The clam chowder was pretty good though. We also had a free fried calamari dish which we had to Ta-pau (too much!!!!). After the heavy-meal, we took a drive down Ocean Blvd....but H was just too sleepy to continue (Still jet-lagged!). So we parked the car near Lover's Point, and I went down to have a stroll while he napped in the car!
We continued on to Carmel after he has his 10-minute battery recharged. We gave 17-mile Drive in Pebble Beach a miss this time round (we did this last October already, and I didn't fancy paying the tolls again...). I have to say that Carmel is a really quaint little village that is really really UNLIKE the rest of the US cities. It's nice, and I do like it. Clint Eastwood was the mayor once.... Anyway, we stayed at the Carmel Mission Inn for the night. The next morning, we went to the Cottage Restaurant for breakfast..... What did we have? Eggs Benedict, of course. Somehow, I think Eggs Benedict is THE breakfast for Carmel. Most restaurants here have different variants of Eggs Benedict.
Boxing Day
After breakfast, we were on our way for our looooooooong drive to LA. We arrived at our hotel near LAX at about 2.30 pm. Why stay at a hotel near LAX???
It's cheap, and it's close to all major Freeways.
We stayed at the La Quinta Inn & Suites LAX. It's alright. Rooms are decent and clean. Best of all, there's free WI-FI. There's also free breakfast but we didn't eat though. After check-in, guess where we headed out to???
Shopping, of course!!!
And where did I go?
A Joann store..... to get Scrapbooking Stuff! I was like a little kid in a toy store. There was a sale on DCWV premium papers, and I almost went berserk. The only thing that stopped me was the WEIGHT!!!! And then there were the albums and stickers!!
I have to say that I was a little exhausted after all this. Hehehehehhehe.
We had dinner at Benihana Restaurant... by mistake.
Okay. Got to go.... to board our flight!!
Are you a Dummy?
I confess. I am a real dummy.
Not to defend myself. But don't you think that life insurance products are so confusing? There are so many different types, limits, coverages etc...... And from so many different insurance companies. But thankfully, I have a sister who is in the insurance business, and she has been educating me on the various insurance policies from her company. If you are not as fortunate as I am, I supposed you could always obtain life insurance online quotes and see for yourself what is the best insurance for you.

Lazy Holiday....
Anyway, slept like a baby throughout the nite....no real signs of jet-lag. In fact, if it wasn't for my friend HT 's phone call at about 9.30 am, I would still be zzzzzzz. Spoke to her on the phone for about an hour. Don't think will be able to meet up with her as she & her family are driving to Lake Tahoe tomorrow to join her brother's family.
By the time we left the hotel...it was close to noon. Walked to Union Square as H wanted to go to the bank, then took the historic cable car to Fisherman's Wharf to have lunch. Walked down Pier 43 where loads and loads of crabs were freshly boiled. Though I like crabs, somehow the aroma was not too appetizing. I supposed it's because it's just too much ...and the smell just envelopes you. We decided to eat at Scoma's down at Pier 43 1/2 (I think). We had lobster bisque (H), butternut squash with crab (me), a sampler plate (crab cakes, scampi in wine sauce & fried calamari) and a whole roasted dungeness crab....washed down with Pinot Grigio (H) and Prosecco (me). And guess what we did after lunch... We went back to hotel for a rest. A rest turned out to be a 3 hour nap for me!!!!
And we went out to Union Square again....went to Borders and some jalan-jalan. Then had dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express at Macy's.... Clam Chowder and a Warm Turkey Melt..finished with a Haagen Daz bar. Came back to hotel to check on my emails, and to book for our Xmas Eve dinner for tomorrow... and NOW Back to lounging in bed........

And Away We Go....
Still not too late...

Another Cha-pa-lang Post
Remember my last post about my irresponsible kids? As a result of the FLUTE incident, I have taken their weekday TV privileges away. I really think they watched too much TV until their brains are all mucked up until they cannot store any other information.
S1 came home the other day (I was out), and as usual turned on the TV...which of course couldn't work (I took away the connecting cables). Then he proceeded to S2's room. TV also not working. Only then he realised that mommy had done something.
With no TV today, I see more reading and other activities. So my decision or removing this privilege is really quite justified. Don't you think?
Painting Exhibition
Okay. None of my paintings were sold. I didn't feel disappointed. Didn't expect to sell them anyway... But was just pretty excited to have my paintings displayed.
I asked H if I should be disappointed....and he said "if all the paintings were sold except yours, then clearly you should be disappointed. But since not many paintings were sold, nothing to be disappointed. In fact, I think the whole exhibition is a lost-making for the organizers"...and then he proceeded to calculate the costs of having the exhibition. Actually, we kepoh-ed on early Sunday morning. We walked around and looked how many paintings were sold...and we counted 2. This was after two full days of exhibition and out of over 100 paintings. As there were many good paintings around, we think not many people actually come with the intention to buy. And some might not know that there are paintings around... this friend went all the way there, and then didn't manage to view my paintings. She went to the exhibits that were near the Prada/Bulgari areas, whereas mine were near Roberto Cavalli.
Oh yeah. I only managed to exhibit 4 of my paintings as I only booked 4 panels. Initially, I thought I'll squashed all 6 paintings into 4 panels. But the organizers said it'll look too ugly. So, The Kiss and Thommanon was out.
One thing I learnt from this exhibition is... do NOT have too many paintings!
Aiyo...must CARRY them all the way to the venue. Not easy lah.
And then CARRY all the way out after the exhibition.
Next time, better just exhibit a max of 2 pieces lah.
There's another exhibition coming in March...which I want to participate. :-) but this time, I will just exhibit 2 small ones lah.
Busy Baking
Yes. I've been busy baking for the last 2 days...despite my back pain (yeah. Stupid pain is back!). Not because I want to, but because the boys have end of year Xmas Parties at school. S1's party was today, and S2's tomorrow....
Going Home
Yeah. Yeah. I fly back to KL this Saturday....that's less than 3 days away. So many things to do....have to do S2's passport, have my eyes checked, eat my Chue-Yoke-Meen (hahahahha) before I fly to San Francisco on Tuesday, 22nd December.
Okay lah...better go rest my back now. Otherwise all the chiropratic adjustments are not going to help!

HIGHLY Irresponsible Kids!!!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooo mad that I have to vent somewhere.
I was "ngam-ngam-chamm-chamm" and H kept saying why early in the morning like that.
BUT how can I not?
Let me tell you why I am soooooooooooo mad. Well, today is the School's Christmas Concert, which S2 will be playing his flute in the Primary School Orchestra. There would be FULL rehearsal after school right till the concert start at 6.30 pm.
So last evening, I told S2 to keep his things in his bag so that he won't forget anything.
Said so again later...and specifically to put his FLUTE in his bag. Then I asked if he had his attire for the occasion, and asked if everything was in order.
This morning, again, I reminded him to have everything together.
And guess what? At 8 am just now, I got a call.
It was S2. Asking me to tell the driver to bring his FLUTE!!!!
You say lah. ANGRY or not???
If the concert is not today, I will just let it be. But now...I have to organise for the driver to bring the flute all the way to him. And the journey is not exactly down the road!!
I tell you...I have such irresponsible kids that it is beyond belief! Can't trust them to do anything right for themselves. Don't even let me start on my S1. Another irresponsible bugger....with no care for anything at all. I bought him a pair of glasses which costs about USD 150/- about a month back, and he comes back 3 weeks later, beating around the bush for 3 days, then told me that he lost his glasses. How lah! Not to mention the lost mobile phone, gameboy and what-nots!
It's not that I don't make them pay for lost things. I do deduct money from their allowance/birthday money...but that doesn't seem to do any justice. It seems like everything I say just falls on deaf ears.
What about wasted food?
Uneaten food in their lunch boxes is a norm. And what can be done other than disposing the food when they come home in the late afternoon? It'll be too yucky to even give to the maid.
And there's the yogurt and such that they love to bring to their rooms, and then not eat it, and I'll find the tubs the next day. How to eat them again? Have to throw, right? And mind you, these are not cheap yogurt either. I've seen S1 done this soooooooooooooo many times. I am just so fed-up.
I really have tearing my hair out. Nagging and sitting them down nicely is not working,
Just soooooooooooooooooooooo fed-up.

TODAY is THE Day!
The Painting Exhibition starts TODAY!
Exhibition Invite
Nope. I have not gone to see it.
Yesterday, we had to deliver the paintings to the exhibition venue - Pacific Place Mall. We were told to come in from 11 pm onwards as we had to wait for the mall to close. When we arrived, the organizers were just starting to set-up. We registered ourselves, and then had our paintings tagged.
My Paintings getting tagged
Can't wait to see how my paintings look under the spotlight!!
And then we waited and waited....and waited.
Even at midnight, the carpets at the area where the panels were to be set up were not yet completely laid. We just could NOT stand-around and wait for the workmen to finish.
So what do we do?
Go home lor ....
Actually, whilst waiting....I saw some other paintings, and then thought "perhaps I have under-priced mine!". Hahhaha. Regardless. I will be mighty happy if any of my paintings is sold!
BTW, check-out my latest painting - Snooty.
(Nope. This one is not in the exhibition...not in time for it)
Ping Pong Table?
With the pool table gone, I was pretty glad to 'reclaim' that part of my living area.
But guess what my boys said..."Now we have the space, can we have a ping pong table?".
Boy! Were they fast!
Did they get one?
Well, NOPE!
I know my boys...they just want to buy buy buy, and not really want to play.
Heck! If they are really interested to play, I would even buy TWO ping pong tables! Afterall, it's not that expensive.
Tropical Holidays
A Winter Holiday? Or a Tropical One?
Those who miss the cold wintry white scenery over Christmas will opt to go for a Winter Holiday. But many still choose a Tropical one. Hey...in fact, we wanted to take a cruise around the Caribbean, visiting Bahamas, St Martin, the us virgin islands and more. But Christmas is PEAK season. Thus H and I decided to do it some other time.
A MUST in Every Home!
The toilet. Of course!
Can you imagine living in a home without one?
I certainly can't. Can you imagine trotting out into the bush in the middle of the night?
And don't let some people fool you with their definition of a toilet... I remember when I was younger, there were these "hole in the ground" that they call toilet. Hey. I don't need American Standard toilets but at least something made of porcelain will suffice!

More Photos of Roemah Djawa
Entrance of a Hallway
(Some of these items are over 2 million years old!!!)
Remember I said in my previous post that the houseowners run a specialty tour company? Well, I am pretty interested to go on this particular tour which includes one full day of archeological digs at the site of JavaMan. That reminds me, I need to email them for the information. They only do it once a year in mid-May (Shucks! but that is the time my MIL will be in town... let's see if I can squeeze in between!)
The Main Living Area
(Again, I shouldn't have squashed 6 photos in)
Mask and Puppet Room
(One should not buy a Mask anyhow. A Mask must "call out to you"!)
May Wedding...
And who other than the bride and groom is excited?
Well...don't think you can guess that it would be my S2.
That boy is thinking of what to wear for the wedding..and he is thinking of a full tuxedo. It would be nice if both my boys could wear tuxedos....BUT realistically, it might not be a good idea. After the wedding and with the tropical weather, the only thing that they could probably wear again would be the tuxedo shirts alone. Don't you agree? Maybe I should just get the formal tuxedo shirts and forget about the rest of the ensemble.
TV Addicts
Our whole family, that is.
There's only 4 of us, but there are 6 TVs in our house, 2 with home theater systems. I'm fine without the surround sound etc. But my H? He needs to have the whole theater package. In his "Selfish Room", there are like 9 speakers for his home theater system. Yes. You read correct. 9! I hear things like woofer, sub-woofer so-on and so-forth and I'm thinking "a dog of some sort??"....... Shhhh.....don't let my H hear me say that!!!

Photos of Roemah Djawa
There were many many more photos that I took. But just have so much problems uploading them. IT is indeed a very interesting home to visit. And despite having 14 rooms, the house is deemed too small for the vast collection of antiques and art. A new house has just been completed...and the move has already started, and anticipated to be ready to receive visitors mid-2010. I'm told that there would be a performance hall to showcase the rich culture.
What's the Problem?
When I tried to view it, it just says "LINK is BROKEN" or "Website cannot be found"...
BUT BUT and yet. I can log in and post. But cannot read.

Some Updates - 1 Dec 2009
I know that I have been really lax in both reading your blogs, and also in updating mine. Anyway, here's some updates.
Back to School
Boys went back to school yesterday...after a week long break. Stayed put in the city. Initially wanted to go Singapore...but back problems and the absence of our passports made this option impossible. So this was what we did:
- Immigration Office to sort out our passports
- Waterbom (waterpark)
- Watched 2012, Michael Jackson's This Is It and New Moon.
- S2's friends and their mommies over to our house for playdate and chit-chat respectively
- S1's friend Sleepover on Friday Night
- Boys continued with their twice-weekly Mandarin Classes
Movies. Movies. Movies.
I have to say that if Michael was still alive, his This Is It concert would be a GREAT one. S2 was the one who wanted to watch it. He and his pals is crazy over the songs. We bought him the CD and he nearly made me go crazy with its REPEATED playing. When we went to watch it, the theater was really empty. Halfway through, he went to the front and I'm sure he must have danced and sang along. :-)
As for New Moon. We got conned into watching it. S1 assured us that this 2nd movie would be more on vampires and werewolves...and not a love story like the first show. WAH! It's a LOVE story to the MAX. Not your ordinary LOVE story BUT one with the "I will die for you" kind of love story! Waaaaaay too much of lovey-dovey ...even for me!
BAD Parents
Both H and I.....as we are dumping the boys with my parents in Malaysia, and then going to the States for Xmas and New Year. I fly out to KUL on the 19th of December with the boys, and I fly down to Singapore on the 22nd to meet up with H for our flight to SFO. From there, we will make our way down to Los Angeles. And we fly out to New York to be in time for the New Year's countdown in Times Square. My girlfriend C commented "How cheesy can your H be? Countdown at Times Square!" Hahahhaha. But I guess it's a once a lifetime thing.
I tell you...all the hotel rooms are cheap around this time of the year.... EXCEPT New Year's Eve in New York. Our 3 nights in New York still cost much more than our 8 nights on the West Coast. Anyway, I will get back to KUL on the 6th of January 2010.....to pick the boys up for our flight back on the 8th of January. They start school on the Monday after.
Roemah Djawa
I had a great time visiting Roemah Djawa this morning. It's a private home which is filled to the brim with antiques and art from the Indonesian Archipelago. It's a museum and art gallery! I tried to upload some photos but somehow there is a problem. I will try to do it tomorrow. Anyway, the home has been showcased in Architectural Digest, Financial Times etc. If you wanna read a little bit about this place, go here . The homeowners run a specialty travel company Remote Destinations...and Mick Jagger is a key client (seen from photos of Mick with the owner). The husband was away...so it was his American wife that gave the tour this morning.
Painting Exhibition
Will be participating in an art exhibition in less than two weeks! My FIRST! Am kinda excited and don't know what to expect. Just imagining my paintings in the exhibition catalogue is thrilling enough. Wah! But if somehow buys my painting, I will be really OVER THE MOON! (I've priced my painting from USD 300 upwards. :-) )
Will update on this event later.
Okay later...

North Norwich - meet at Christ Church Centre, Magdalen Road, Norwich NR3 4LA
Norfolk Constabulary is planning to axe all 150 police community support officers (PCSOs) in the county to save money.
UNISON believes that these plans must be stopped and is organising a day of action in Norwich on Saturday 2 December.
The aim is to send a strong message to Norwich North Conservative MP and assistant government whip Chloe Smith that the priority of her government should be cutting crime, not cutting PCSOs who play a vital role in keeping our communities safe.
Join us on 2 December
We are asking UNISON members from across the country to come to Norwich on Saturday 2 December to help deliver leaflets to every home in the Norwich North constituency.
If you can come along, please go to:
Christ Church Centre, Magdalen Road, Norwich NR3 4LA
UNISON regional staff will be there from 11am with leaflets and delivery details. Contact us on 01284 772 564, email@example.com or @UNSIONEastern to find out more about the campaign day, or to let the know you are coming.

The latest supercar to join the McLaren lineup, the McLaren 650S, will be officially launched at the International Geneva Motor Show this year.
The new McLaren 650S joins the range as an additional model , sitting between the 12C and the sold-out McLaren P1. Available in both coupe and spider versions, this show stopper has been designed and developed to provide the ultimate in driver engagement on the road and on the race track.
With a look of the P1 at the front and 12c McLaren at the rear the 650S is all about power The badge designation refers to the power output, 650PS (641 bhp) from the unique British-built McLaren M838T twin turbo V8 engine. The 'S' stands for 'Sport', underlining the focus and developments made to handling, transmission, drivability and engagement. Performance figures will be confirmed ahead of the Geneva Show but will improve on the already rapid 12C which continues on sale.
The P1 inspired design continues the McLaren 'family' look to it range. The front bumper gives the McLaren 650S a dramatic, yet clean appearance and sits below new LED headlamps which reflect a similar look to the McLaren P1™. The more integrated front splitter contributes to increased levels of downforce, giving a greater level of steering feeling and confidence to the driver on turn-in, while also adding to the agility and the car's handling balance. Unique door blades behind the front wheels direct air from the trailing edges of the front splitter, further benefiting front-end grip and vehicle balance.
The aerodynamic performance of the McLaren 650S is as efficient as the 12C, boasting the same drag coefficient figure, yet the air is being worked harder and more efficiently as it flows over, and through, the functional bodywork. At 150 mph, downforce levels are increased by 24 percent.
'As always with McLaren, the new design is there for good engineering reasons,' says McLaren Automotive CEO Mike Flewitt.
'The newly designed front bumper improves downforce and steering turn-in. The high speed handling balance is now even better. The LED lights use less power and last longer.'
Unique side intakes behind the dihedral doors feed large, efficiently packaged, radiators which help provide the cooling requirements of the mid-mounted, compact engine. A new design five-spoke lightweight forged '650S' alloy wheel is unique to the model, and are fitted with Pirelli P Zero™ Corsa tyres to offer optimised roadholding, handling and driver feedback – the bespoke 'MC1' branded tyres have been developed alongside the McLaren 650S by McLaren technology partner Pirelli, and offer strong performance in normal road conditions and on track.
The McLaren 650S builds on experience from success on the track, and groundbreaking technologies fitted to other McLaren models. Active aerodynamics, which feature on both the 12C and McLaren P1™, have been further developed and honed to ensure the ultimate performance and ability for the McLaren 650S. The McLaren Airbrake, originally fitted to the 12C and 12C Spider and designed to offer optimised levels of downforce on the rear of the car, now operates with a greater level of functionality providing increased stability. The newly developed system means the Airbrake deploys whenever the car senses extra downforce is advisable – rather than simply under braking or when manually operated in 'Aero' mode. Below the Airbrake, a distinctive rear three-piece bumper, similar to the GT3 racing version of the 12C, compliments the aerodynamic shaping of the McLaren 650S.
The pioneering ProActive Chassis Control (PCC) suspension system, developed by McLaren, has been further enhanced for the McLaren 650S. A feature of the system is the ability to adjust the ride and handling modes – Normal / Sport / Track – in isolation from the drivetrain, which gives complete freedom in terms of ride and handling. These settings, for both powertrain and suspension, have been recalibrated to improve driver engagement. The updates are especially noticeable in Sport mode.
'McLaren is a fast moving company, continually striving for improvements and technical advantages. We are always seeking to innovate, to be the class leaders, to bring new technologies and thinking to market. That's our Formula 1 heritage shining through,' explains Mike Flewitt.
'Everything we've learnt from the 12C and the McLaren P1™ has gone into the design and development of the McLaren 650S.'
The McLaren 650S is designed to be the best and most engaging driver's car in its class, yet it is not a stripped out road racer. Ride comfort and refinement are to executive saloon standards. The McLaren 650S models are equipped with IRIS satellite navigation with Bluetooth telephony, DAB digital radio (SIRIUS satellite radio in North America), wireless tethering, audio streaming and voice control as standard, while also offering enhanced levels of optional specification than previously offered. Options include fixed-back carbon racing seats, based on the lightweight design found in the McLaren P1™, an electric steering column adjustment assisting ingress and egress, a rear parking camera and extended carbon fibre throughout the interior.
The global reveal of the McLaren 650S Coupéand Spider will take place on Stand 1240, Hall 1 at 12.00CET (11.00GMT) on Tuesday, 4 March 2014 at the 84th International Geneva Motor Show.
