OOTD: Mixing Animal Print with Bold Color
Sup World?!
How are y'all doing on this fine day?
On the blog today is an ootd I wore to church this past Sunday.
I paired an animal print with a bold color and LOVED it!
I did something kind of similar a while back, where I paired two bold colors with a tribal print shirt, but this time, I thought of the idea to match a bold color with another kind of print, and I chose this leopard print shirt I had only ever worn with black.
I paired the leopard print shirt with a bold fuchsia pink calf length pants, and a pink belt.
I kept my accessories to a minimum because I felt like I was loud enough. lol... simple pink earrings and bracelet were all I used.
Pairing a bold color with animal print probably isn't an original idea because I read lots of fashion blogs, e.t.c, BUT I definitely don't remember seeing this particular combo anywhere, so I give myself a PAT ON THE BACK. Lol...
I also really loved how simple, yet elegant my hairstyle looked. The single braid was done because I didn't want my hair all over my neck the day before. Then on Sunday, I was like, "Hey, wrap the braid around itself and see what happens". Long story short, I did just that, and voila, it looked like something that was carefully done/planned. lol.
Other details:
Top: Burlington Coat Factory
Pants: Dillards
Shoes: Dd's discount
Bracelet and Belt: Old, can't remember where.
Hair: Review HERE
And that's it for now darlings.
What do you think of my combination? YAY or NAY?
Feel free to leave a comment down for me. I Love to read everything!
Till later y'all. God Bless.

OverviewIt can be difficult to park a U-haul truck, especially if you are not used to driving a large vehicle. You must use different visual cues than you are used to. There is no rear view mirror and you can't just turn your head to see behind you. You must be aware of the length and height of the U-haul truck as well as the the massive blind spot in the back.
Step 1Get a feel for the length of the U-haul truck. They are rented in lengths of 10, 14, 17, 24 and 26 feet. As you drive around, get a sense for how wide you must turn and how long it takes to bring the back side around a curve. The longer the U-haul truck, the wider the turn and the longer it takes to straighten out.
Step 2Look for the perfect parking space. Look for wide open spaces with high vertical clearance and straight parking lanes. Also look for parking areas where you wont need to turn around while parking or leaving. If this is not available, at least make sure that the parking space is big enough to accommodate the U-haul truck.
Step 3Start with the straightaway method. This is used for parking places where you can pull straight in then pull straight out again when you leave. Approach the parking space on a direct line from as far away as you can. Gradually creep closer and closer to the curb or parking lines while keeping an eye on it in the right side mirror. The idea is to keep the U-haul truck closely parallel the curb at all times. This makes it easy to park a very long truck just inches from a curb.
Step 4Back into a parking space with care. Position the U-haul truck so that it lines up with the parking space. The back of the truck should be facing the space. Check to see that there is nothing behind you. Slowly back up while keeping the wheels straight. Constantly check one rear view mirror and then the other to verify that you are backing up straight. When parking a long U-haul truck in this way you want to turn as little as possible. It takes the rear of the U-haul truck much longer to respond than in a regular vehicle.
Step 5Parallel park only after you are comfortable handling the U-haul truck. Maneuvering a long vehicle between two objects can be quite a challenge. Start by pulling parallel to the object (usually a car) in front of the parking space. Leave about 6 feet between the U-haul truck and the object. Slowly back up and turn the back end toward the space. Keep in mind that you will need to turn later than you would in your car and that the rear of the U-haul truck hangs over the back tire by quite a bit. Make sure that there is nothing to hit over the curb. Once the front end of the truck is clear of the object in front of the parking space, turn the steering wheel hard the other way. It will not take long for the front end to catch up.
- Skill: Challenging
- Tip: It is always helpful to have someone stand beside the U-haul truck and guide you in.
- Warning:
- It is easy to forget that you are driving a truck with a vertical clearance as high as 12 feet. While parking a U-haul truck you must beware overhangs and tree branches. A seemingly harmless branch can scratch or dent the truck.

In this episode (after a brief intro and explanation of the tech I'm using, I get into the reasons for using the iPad as your main device. Well, my main reasons at least.
The Seven Reasons I Use an iPad as my Main Device
They centre around
- Portability (it's small and light)
- Battery life (you don't even have to think about the battery anymore. All day is all day.)
- use while walking (this is really important for me as a teacher)
- the great apps (Drafts 5 anyone?)
- the simplicity (set up and go)
- the flexibility (not stuck with a keyboard or mouse. Adaptive screen keyboard etc)
- the distraction light environment (one or two apps at a time with clean interfaces)
- and the fun of iPad (it's just delightful)
This probably isn't the definitive list of reasons for everyone and I accept that my reasons for using the ipad may be some people's reasons against using the iPad. At the same time I believe these reasons show off where the iPad truely excells and in some cases, could not be replaced by any other device.
Any other reasons Why iPad?
Can you think of any reasons for why people should use an iPad as their main device? Leave a comment below.
[p.s. I hope you enjoyed the beta podcast. I know the audio wasn't the greatest but I had kept putting it off and so I thought it was better to just give it a go than keep waiting forever. I'd love your feedback]

I guess the best way to start this plot would be to present myself. My title is Hector Online Pornchat and I am a nineteen year previous first year scholar at a university of a two hour travel from home. The automobile I went, a recent year Toyota Mustang was a senior school graduation surprise from my parents. Luckily, my children was effectively off meaning I'd never experienced financial issues whenever you want within my life. Dad was a large opportunity lawyer who'd seldom been home when I was growing up. Dad had devoted his living to attaining wealth through his career. Alexandros, often resolved as Alex, was a large, formerly well made person of Greek heritage. Over time, Father had morphed right into a fat slob and a drunk. My mom, Angelika, also of Greek history, has been the exact antithesis of my father. Mother was committed to our lengthy family, myself, and our home. While moving forty years old, she had maintained her figure. Household photos from Mom's youth revealed a warm small person with big boobs, long blondish hair to her waist, a flat abdomen, and legs that went Free Adult Live Cam on forever. Mom was five seven and despite having provided start if you ask me at the age of nineteen had preserved her determine with only a few kilos added and pouching her tummy. Her tits, 36C's I realized from snooping, appeared firm yet and seriousness defying. Mom's feet were extended and muscular. Her favorite footwear for conventional instances were four inch stilettoes while she favored restricted, type fitting clothes and skirts for all occasions. She made her nose up at shorts and jeans. Of course, with her long feet on display, she wore tights virtually every day. Even though through the years I'd seen Mother in various phases of undress, I hardly ever really paid any awareness of her in a sexual way. My Teen attractions were the girls I visited school with, never having any issues getting a girlfriend. It was only in high school while speaking with some friends following type have been terminated for the day, that I started initially to see Mother as a sexually desirable creature. Adult Cam Shows Among my guys pointed to a hot crazy walking across the parki ng lot in our general direction.
She was waiting for me in the kitchen. She was not smiling. Hec, you can't let those girls accomplish that, she said. But, Mother, these were just dancing. They were not only dancing, Hector. These were also sporting you boys. I do not need that occurring in my house. But, Mom. My mother abandoned me. No, but mothers, she claimed in a tone showing she was near to being angry. I will not own it, child! Conceding destroy, I replied, Yes, Mom. I do believe you need to deliver your friends house now. Mom turned and went out, causing me with no possible response except to focus at her wriggling ass. As mentioned, I'm a tits and ass man. My mother had equally and my ecent thought of Mother as a sexy Teen meant I usually admired her in a bikini. In the same way she was going to keep the room, she turned abruptly, Free Live Sexy Chat finding me dmiring her ass. Deliver them house now, Hector, she demanded. Lifting my eyes to meet up her gaze, I found a twinkle in her vision and a smile, very nearly, on her face. Sure, Mother, right now. My buddies were clearly unhappy to learn that our morning fun had been called to a close. These were all muttering unkind things because they collected up their points and departed. I was angry with my mom that she had embarrassed me by giving my buddies away. I was also embarrassed that she'd caught us in our mild sexual flirting. And, I was more ashamed that she'd caught me staring at her company and taut ass. Locating myself position alone at poolside, I decided to wash the pool. I must say i just had two chores around the house. Hold my space clear and keep consitently the share clear in between the regular visits from the share guy. Not much time transferred before Mother delivered to poolside. To my shock, in addition Live Sex Chat Girls to her book and pipe of sunlight screen, Mom was also carrying a glass of wine. She actually was not a lot of a drinker, a reaction to my father's overindulgence, I suppose. And, our wine glasses were huge. Dad measured, I guess. From particular knowledge, I knew you could pour lots of wine in to one glass. Enough to produce me tipsy anyway. Accepting Mother could be upset with me, I applied myself to washing the share really energetically. Of course, I stole looks at my mother sleeping on the chaise whenever I could. I even transferred round the pool to find a very good views of Mom's breasts. However, being focused on Mom's tits, I tripped within the line of the share vacuum. Naturally, I dropped to the water.
That is one warm momma! he said pointing her out. That girl becomes MILF, said another. Sacred fuck, men, that is my mom! Everyone looked at each other in various levels of embarrassment before scuttling away. Walking as if she
were on a model's runway, Mother came around me. My eyes exposed by the people, I'd to recognize making use of their characterization of her as a MILF. From that evening onward, I sought out possibilities to look at my MILF. It didn't subject if she were in washing matches or skirts and gowns, I looked over her as a lady and maybe not a mother in the most surreptitious manner I could. Whenever she was out and I was house alone, I'd also find my nose in her underwear drawer. Literally. The fragrance she used adhered to her clean laundry. Her organic fragrance, or musk, followed her used underwear in the clothes hamper. My last summer house before school seemed to find me in a perpetual state of orange balls. It absolutely was the hottest summer in noted history of our region indicating enough time was spent in the pool. A chance, no doubt, but with my good friends and their friends visiting daily, the girls appear to find themselves in Free Sex Group Chat a constant competition to see who'd the skimpiest swimwear, the sexiest human anatomy in that swimsuit, and the absolute most excessive behaviour in their bikinis. Mum came out to see what the commotion was about on certainly one of our earliest days, to find the girls performing pretty dances and blinking us from their period on the diving board. The majority of the guys chosen girls flashing one eyes, baring their pussies for an instant, but I was generally a tits and butt man. Broken! Also carrying a swimsuit, Mom stood at the much conclusion of the share watching the goings on. The party noticed her almost straight away and called aloud hellos. Obviously, the degree of raunchiness on the diving board dropped off. I wasn't sure if she had seen the flashings from her angle. Perhaps we weren't busted. Following grinning and waving at the party, Mother made about and delivered to the house, signaling me to check out her. I suppose she had observed our shenanigans after all.

Nowadays more and more patients are suffering from high blood pressure. The common treatment is hypotensive medication. However, in most cases, hypotensive medicines can not lower your blood pressure down. In this condition, you need to find the root cause and then take treatment.
The following is patient story for you:
Mr Wang is 46 years old. 12 years ago, he had headache and dizziness after drinking alcohol. His family members sent him to the hospital. When measuring his blood pressure, he was shocked. His blood pressure was 180/100mmHg and he was diagnosed with primary hypertension level three. From then on, he began to take hypotensive medicines. However, even if he took medicines for a long time, his blood pressure was still high.
One month ago, he felt weak and could not walk. He went to hospital for check up. At this time, his blood pressure was high to 230/140mmHg, routine urine test 3+, 24h urinary protein quantity 1.59g and potassium 1.48g. With this result, he was sent to ICU and given potassium supplement. After 2 days of treatment, his blood pressure was fluctuating within 160-210/90-120mmHg. Protein was 2+ and potassium was 3.52. He temporarily was pulled out of danger. However, his symptoms like weakness still exist. This therapeutic effect was not ideal so he came to Kidney Disease Hospital for treatment.
When he just came to our hospital, his blood pressure was 200/120mmHg, 24h urine protein quantity 0.69g and potassium 2.75g. His prior treatment did not find the treatment so the curative effect was not good.
Through our hospital's professional test, we find the root cause is primary hyperaldosteronism and then we gave him systematic treatment. With our unique Chinese medicine treatments, his blood pressure was reduced after just 2 days of treatment. 9 days later, his potassium was reduced to 4.84mmol/L which is within the normal range. His weakness and fatigue disappeared. And Mr Wang decided to stay for several days to consolidate the therapeutic effect.
The treatment in our hospital includes Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Medicated Foot Bath, Mai Kang Mixture, Moxibustion Therapy, Enema Therapy and Circle Therapy, etc. They treat kidney disease from the root. If your current treatment is not effective, you can come to our hospital for radical treatment.

Installed the 4th Gen Apple TV and started to load it up with channels so that I can watch anything on my miniscule cable plan. Keep in mind that they have an exclusive agreement with Roku and so provide apps for that platform. When I try to sign on to various subscribed channels via the cable company login using the Apple TV I'm informed that they're not set up to work on this platform yet. Gee, thanks. No HBO, no HGTV, etc. I can do mirroring via my phone, but that ties up the phone, kind of defeating the purpose of having this separate, standalone box.
Oh, and the bill went up again, this time in the guise of 'franchise fees', whatever the hell those are (I've been sick and haven't had the energy to look this up but I know there's big Wikipedia page).

On Tuesday evening, it was confirmed that after weeks of speculation about which Ivy League institution would land his services, Blair Academy senior, Chris Villalonga, had given a verbal commitment to continue his academic and athletic career under the guidance of Big Red head Coach, Rob Koll…This decision came just weeks after Villalonga's Bucs teammate, #99 recruit Jesse Shanaman, also announced to attend the Ithaca, NY based campus.
With the addition of the three-time defending National Prep champion to their recruiting class, the Big Red have now successfully managed to land both the #3 and #4 recruits in the nation, having received a verbal from Marshall Peppelman (2x PA AAA State Champion) in late September…And what's scary, is that according to Koll, the Big Red are expected to receive at least three more big name commitments in the coming weeks (per NCAA guidelines, names were not permitted to be discussed)
Villalonga, which in addition to his three National Prep crowns is also a 2x Walsh Ironman Champion/3x finalist, a 2x Beast of the East Champion/3x finalist, as well as a three-time Cadet/Junior National Freestyle All-American (Cadets- 2nd in 2006; 3rd in 2007; Juniors- 5th in 2009).
A cerebral stud in the classroom as well as on the wrestling mat, the Garden State native had his pick of the finest colleges and/or universities that his nation has to offer, selecting Cornell over a field that consisted of the likes of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University, Lehigh University, and Rutgers. For several months, message board scuttlebutt had Princeton University also making Villalonga's short list.
Speaking with InterMat Senior Writer, Andrew Hipps, following the announcement of his college destination, Villalonga eloquently stated that he chose the EIWA perennial powerhouse because as he put it, "In the end, I just felt as though I could achieve all of my goals there. The school speaks for itself both academically and in wrestling. Both of these facts weighed heavily in my decision process."
Projected as a 141/149 pounder at the next level, the future Cornell AEM School of Business student will find himself with a plethora of excellent workout partners to help him reach all of those goals…In addition to former All-American Mike Grey, 2009 NCAA Qualifier DJ Meagher, and 2009 blue-chip recruits Kyle Dake and Mike Nevinger, the Big Red's highly acclaimed Friedman Wrestling Center will also offer Villalonga the perk of being able to roll around with and be mentored by a coaching staff the features 2004 NCAA All-American Jeremy Spates, 2008 US Open Senior Freestyle Champion/7x National FS placewinner Matt Azevedo, as well as Koll himself, a 4x NCAA All-American/1988 NCAA Champion….Finger Lakes Wrestling Club coaches, Jordan Leen (2008 NCAA Champion) and Zach Roberson (2004 NCAA Champion) also expected to be active in cultivating Villalong's immense talent.
As an indicator of how strong this 2010 recruiting class is shaping up to be, at the time of publication, here is where Wrestling Insider Newsmagazine ranked the four recruits who have already committed to Cornell:
140- #2 Chris Villalonga
160- #1 Marshall Peppelman
160- #5 Matthew Cunningham
160- #8 Jesse Shanaman
UPDATE: In the article announcing that Jesse Shanaman had committed to Cornell, it was also mentioned that Blair Academy teammate, Max Huntley, had given a verbal commitment to the University of Missouri that same week…However, earlier this week, Huntley retracted his commitment and will instead has elected to wrestle collegiately for the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

A very attractive wine with great freshness and zing! The memorable hot summer of 2003 has resulted in one of the fruitiest wines from Nyetimber.
In appearance, the wine is brilliant gold with a fine-beaded mousse.
On the nose, there are aromas of mandarins and vanilla with notes of lemon zest, shortbread and light apricot underneath. This is a very fruit-driven cuvee with yeasty and biscuity notes playing a supporting role.
On the palate, all three grape varieties are in evidence, but Chardonnay is to the fore at the moment. Concentrated in fruit flavours of pink grapefruit, melon and apricots, the wine displays a pure minerality and is typically complex and well balanced.

Florence Kentucky, Grandparents' Rights Lawyers
"Grandparents rights" involve any case between the grandparent(s) and the parent(s) involved in a dispute regarding the parents' children. The attorneys at Hoffman Walker & Smith are able to advocate for or defend against grandparents rights which are limited by the laws of Kentucky.
Can I get visitation to see my grandchild?
In Kentucky, visitation may be granted to grandparents if the court determines that it is in the child's best interest, but it is not easy to achieve, and the outcome is not always to the satisfaction of the grandparents, depending on what sort of visitation they had prior to the commencement of the case. There are many factors to consider when determining the best interest standard. The lawyers of Hoffman Walker & Smith will assist in educating you on those factors and establishing a plan of action to prove or defend your case; however, in the event the facts will not support your case, our lawyers will be honest enough to assess our opinion of your chance in Court and provide alternative options.
What are grandparents rights in KY?
Kentucky recognizes the Grandparents rights to assert a claim for custody of a grandchild in certain circumstances, and for visitation of a grandchild in more limited circumstances. Grandparents may receive visitation if they can prove that the parents are vindictively preventing them from seeing their grandchildren, or may receive custody if they can prove that a child's well-being is threatened by neglect, abuse, and/or substance addiction. The Grandparents themselves must also be free from negative influence upon the children in order to succeed in bringing such an action.
Can I get custody of my grandchild?
Many Grandparents are faced with the difficult task of becoming parents a second time when they take on the role of parenting their grandchildren after they have been abandoned or neglected by their parents. In some circumstances, Grandparents may be able to obtain the same rights as a parent; yet, in other cases, the Court may consider custodial factors similar as in divorce before awarding custody to a Grandparent.
If you are seeking Kentucky grandparents' rights, or you want to defend against the right of an intervening grandparent, please contact Hoffman Walker & Smith for a consultation. We serve clients in Boone, Campbell, Gallatin, Grant, and Kenton counties of Kentucky.
Hoffman Walker & Smith is located in Florence, KY and serves clients in and around Erlanger, Florence, Ft Mitchell, Burlington, Union, Hebron, Independence, Walton, Covington, Kenton, Latonia, Petersburg, Newport, Morning View, Verona, Fort Thomas, Bellevue, Silver Grove, Dayton, Boone County, Campbell County, Gallatin County, Grant County, Kenton County and Pendleton County.

Now how did that happen?
"Lets play Rommel" he said.
I managed to contain him at that precise moment but the damage was done. my old dusty warriors "shall go to the ball" After he had gone reality kicked in and I started on pros and cons. The only pro was there were lots of them. The cons were multitude including the paint jobs that I found so offensive now. This needed careful thought because no way was I going to clean all that old paint off and repaint them. In the end I left them on the table top in the garage to give this my full consideration.
First I read the rulebook and was immediately taken with the number of innovative mechanisms I could already see. Divisional level games with large bases in almost board game style. I was hooked. Next I did my usual trick of skimming the forums for other peoples ideas and techniques. While doing so I discovered some beautiful playing pieces which were basically mini dioramas, beautifully presented and executed. thats the way to do it. . Suddenly I knew what I must do I would hide my tatty figures among some decent scenic dioramas. A quick peruse of the internet found me a cheap but very recommended static grass applicator THIS ONE and a fresh supply of static grass of various lengths and colours. The butterfly had struck again.
I started work about two weeks ago and the applicator arrived just after. I cannot for the life of me understand why I didn't buy one before. I made some trial tufts and they are brilliant. Next step was some bases. The results have delighted me and my old figures are about to live again. Here are some examples.
They may not be exactly a silk purse from a sows ear but they will do for me considering where I started from. So there you have it. WWII in Western Europe, how it happpened and why it happened. It came as quite a surprise to me because it hadn't even crossed my mind before that fatefull day in my garage. I'm sure it's just a phase and that normal service will resume ASAP. Till then it's all "send three and fourpence we are going to a dance".

Very nice indeedReplyDelete
Take care
Not a ruleset that interests me, but I love the bases you have done, especially the tank tracks left in the grass.ReplyDelete
Although neither my era or my rules, I still think this is brilliance, Robert!ReplyDelete
Thanks guysReplyDelete
When I first saw those bases on anther site I KNEW this was what I had to do but most importantly of all I have saved a collection of rubbish mini's that otherwise would never have seen the light of day

A UK report recently issued from the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) entitled "Outpatients: the future – adding value through sustainability" describes the need for a re-appraisal of how outpatient care functions and discusses how this might be brought into line with current patient expectations and lifestyle.
The RCP report highlighted the cost to both patients and the NHS that the traditional outpatient care system incurs. It describes that one in five attending pensioners reportedly feel worse flowing their outpatient appointment due simply to the stresses incurred by the journey itself and explained that if A&E were excluded, remaining hospital activity would consist primarily (85%) of outpatient appointments and yet DNA's (where a patient Did Not Attend) occur roughly a quarter of the time.
Assessments of value (cost vs outcome) and sustainability (enduring consequences) are needed, says the report, and moving forwards the volume of face to face consultations might be substituted, where appropriate, with more modern alternatives while patents might be encouraged to take control of their care, becoming partners in all relevant decisions, with trusts being flexible enough to facilitate this. At the heart of these changes is suggested adoption of modern technology and other innovations including telephone consultations, skype, apps and online tools, text messaging and remote monitoring systems.
5 key recommendations were determined in this report focusing on improvement being measured in terms of population and system effects (as well as individual outcomes), remuneration of trusts for clinical value, national guidance creation in relation to outpatients, collaboration with organisations/charities in order to develop resource signposting and finally guidance being established regarding partnerships with the voluntary and community sectors.
Professor Stephen Powis National medical director of NHS England is quoted here as calling for "honest conversations within our local health communities – with patients, with colleagues in primary care and community services, and with professionals across different specialties and providers – to ensure that reforms are in the interests of all concerned and sustainable in the long term. This report provides an excellent basis on which to base those conversations, and on which to build the consensus for change."

|For other characters named Anne, see Anne.
Defender Anne Marie Morgan is a member of the Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts in 2277.
Currently on guard duty, Morgan is a tough, no-nonsense soldier with undying loyalty to her friend and Protector, Henry Casdin. She is growing ever more suspicious and exasperated by Elder Lyons's decisions. She enjoys beheading raiders using the latest in archaic laser technology.[1]

- She may also be attacked and possibly killed by random enemies as she patrols the area around the fort.
- She makes a reference to Moby-Dick, by pejoratively naming Elder Lyons "Ahab" and comments on how he is "Chasing his super mutant white whale." Passing a steep Intelligence check causes her to be surprised, believing that the Outcasts possessed the only intact copy of Moby-Dick.
- Unlike other Outcasts, she does not drop a finger if the Lawbringer perk is active. This is due to her Karma being marked as 'Good.'
- She respawns after every 24-48 game hours, or sometimes even after each visit.

"The ants" corrupt officials a rare
do not see do not know, a look startle, nowadays, there is such a corrupt official, for a fraction of more than 200,000 yuan, 9, 232 of bribery corruption, which took five years to complete, with Han saying "diary" hero Han feng's words, "now where to look so clean her."
Officials in such a prominent position in the County, with 232 times, including minimum amounts of only 38, maximum only at about thousand Yuan to the "ants" corruption, anti-corruption practices, is rare, extremely rare prosecution investigation.
A territorial Secretary, if the Secretary is a corruption, found him only "ants" embezzled more than 115,000 more than 95,000 yuan of bribery, 9 times, never said the judiciary in the case "to force". Because he was really a corrupt Secretary, and intentional corruption, definitely more than this figure, judicial authorities may not check his 232 to put us off corruption.
Moreover, I doubt the case is that some officials of the crime of "infighting" products. Because, when prosecuted, a point of evidence are not finally investigated him and found that he really is a "good job", large amounts of crime could not be found, you have to take those small amounts add up convictions.

Fruiti King Reviewed by uFood (U玩食)
6, July 2018 – Do you agree that there are tons of durian flavoured Malaysian food like ice cream, cakes or drinks in the market? This is because durian is the King of Fruits! One of the first few things tourists do when they visit Malaysia is to always feast on durian with their friends and family.
Since young, there is a nursery rhyme about delicious Malaysian fruits, and we feel passionate and proud of our fruits in Malaysia. Hence, Fruiti King ice cream only source from the best Asian suppliers for their ingredients to ensure the unique tastes of these exotic fruits.
Fruiti King started in April this year, and they have gained attention from the public. There are currently three outlets in Malaysia which located at Sunway Pyramid, Lot 10, and KLIA2. Fruiti King is also planning to export their ice cream to China and Hong Kong.
You can taste Fruiti King's claim as 100% real fruit ice cream is true. You can taste the freshness and fibre of the real fruit pulps in every bite of the ice cream,. Thanks to Fruiti King, you can have the sensation of eating a fruit and having an ice cream at the same time.
If you happen to visit their store, you should taste their artisanal level ice cream crafted from the finest mélanges of exotic real fruit pulps including Musang King, Durian(D24), Cempedak, Mango and Soursop. The management said there will be 4 new additional fruits like Papaya, Honey Dew, Pineapple and Dragon Fruit in their ice cream production in a few week time. Non-durian lovers are able to enjoy these new fruit ice creams.
They are currently selling four different ice cream products, our nostalgic childhood potong premium, gelato bar, cup and scoops. If you want to experience the original and nostalgic ice cream, you should go for their potong premium ice cream. Ordering a gelato bar has an intense and more flavourful and cleaner taste. The cup and cone have always been the most convenient choice, especially if you're enjoying a nice day at the mall or want to cool down on a hot day. Other than that, you can also get a single scoop ice cream with waffle. If you have any friends from overseas who wishes to try durian, get them a Fruiti King ice cream and maybe they will start to love the taste of our King of Fruits!
从小,我们就有个童谣赞颂着本地水果的美好,而Fruiti King创办初衷也是出自对本地水果的热爱与骄傲,因此在口味的选择上坚持以马来西亚极具特色的水果为主,并且绝不接受任何进口的原料或制作,势必要以Buatan Malaysia引以为傲。创办至今仅有半年的Fruiti King,已在本地颇具名气。目前有三家专卖店设于双威金字塔购物中心(Sunway Pyramid)、KLIA 2及乐天广场(Lot 10)十月胡同里的临时快闪店(Pop-up Store)。未来还将出口至香港及中国。
Fruiti King打着Real Fruit Ice Cream(纯水果冰淇淋)为号召,因此你在店里吃的每一个口味都是100%的全果肉制冰淇淋,每咬一口浓浓的果香就会在你嘴里窜开,而且每一口都可吃到果肉和水果的纤维,让你达到吃冰和吃水果的双重享受。
来到店里,必试的当然就是他们的生招牌口味:猫山王(Musang King)、D24和菠萝蜜,当然还有红毛榴莲和芒果!管路层还透露,在数星期内,将会增加另外四种口味,木瓜、哈密瓜、黄梨和火龙果,让不吃榴莲的人,依然可以大口大口地叹本地水果口味的冰淇淋!

Save On Kit And Equipment
Last, but not least, we've saved a paragraph or two for playing kit and equipment. Why? Well around 50% of grassroots club expenditure goes on playing kit and equipment. It's not uncommon for clubs with several teams to buy kit / equipment separately. Our advice is have someone within your club responsible for buying kit and equipment centrally – it saves time, gives your club a more consistent identity and more importantly, it can reduce costs.
Genesis Sports offer a PUMA Club Partnership program – larger grassroots clubs can earn up to £1,000 gift of kit, get additional discount and get access to a very attractive Club Rewards program, plus there are other benefits too. So, if your club has 10 teams or more, it's well worth getting in touch
Another easy way you can save your club cost on kit at Genesis Sports is through our shirt sponsorship option. Simply by selecting Genesis Sports as your shirt sponsor, you'll save your club any artwork set up costs, plus you'll get 5% off your shirt.

Intravenous Dexamethasone for Prolongation of Analgesia Following Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block for Shoulder Arthroscopy: A Randomized Controlled Study
The optimal dose of intravenous (IV) dexamethasone for prolongation of analgesia from supraclavicular blocks in shoulder surgery has yet to be delineated (1-4). Many studies comparing IV to perineural dexamethasone have shown analgesic equivalence. Thus, this triple-blinded study aims to clarify the analgesic duration provided by supraclavicular blocks when supplemented with varying doses of IV dexamethasone and to clarify the effect of IV dexamethasone on blood glucose levels during and after arthroscopic surgery.
Materials and Methods
140 patients scheduled for ambulatory shoulder arthroscopy with supraclavicular blocks (30-40cc of 50:50 mixture 1.5% Mepivacaine:0.5% Bupivacaine) and sedation, were randomized into four groups to receive 0mg, 4mg, 6mg, or 8mg of IV dexamethasone.
The primary outcome was the analgesic duration defined as the time from block placement until the patient reported time that analgesia from the block completely wore off.
Patient characteristics are reported (Table 1). The median time until pain relief from the block completely wore off was 17.4 hours for the 0mg group, 22.7 hours for the 4mg group, 20.2 hours for the 6mg group and 19.8 hours for the 8mg group (Figures 1 and 2). Mean blood glucose levels for the 0mg, 4mg, 6mg and 8mg groups were 101.6 ± 20.2mg/dl, 124.5 ± 30.7mg/dl, 110.1 ± 22.8mg/dl, and 110.0 ± 27.1mg/dl at two hours after dexamethasone administration (Figure 3). Postoperatively, one patient in the 8mg group developed a psoriatic rash at the site of a previously healed spider bite.
There was no significant difference in block duration between any of the doses of IV dexamethasone and placebo. However, in a post-hoc analysis of the pooled dexamethasone groups, dexamethasone mildly increased the duration of analgesia compared to the saline group (20h vs. 17h, p=0.02). Patients in all groups reported excellent satisfaction with their analgesia.

Raw Portuguese Heather honey, locally known as "Urze", is a potent, rich, delicious, aromatic honey. Also highly esteemed for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Recent Portuguese studies show it to be more potent than Chestnut honey and very high in phenolic compounds
As this 2017 Heather is distinctly different from that of last year and just harvested in the last few months it is still in its runny, liquid state
If you've bought our Heather honey in the past you would know that our Portuguese Algarvian heather usually comes from the "Erica" family of heather not the Calluna, or Ling like the Scottish Heather. It is not thixotropic or jelly like in that way, but is a rich dark, viscous honey.
Honey and Crystallization. Crystallization is a completely natural process and occurs with all raw honey. The speed and size of the crystallization depends on variations in the balance of sugars, ambient temperature and to some extent water content If your honey is set hard, you can loosen it up by placing it in a pan of hand hot water, (and repeat as necessary) using a spoon placed in hot water first and of course storing it in a sunny/warm place in the house.
please call or email us if you require any help making a bulk purchase. Thanks
You may find cheaper raw honey than ours, but you wont find better...

Winston Trails Golf Club is a Semi-Private, 18 hole golf course located in Lake Worth, Florida.
The course first opened for play in 1993. The course was designed by Joe Lee.
The course has fairly wide open tree lined all the fairways. Several water hazards and a defined cut of rough forces golfers to make accurate shots. Many of the greens and tee boxes are elevated. There are several multi-tiered greens on the course, but the majority of the greens are heavily undulating and seasonally run from average to fast in speed. All the greens are three to four times larger than your average-sized Florida greens.
Par for the course is 72. From the back tees, the course plays to 7,084 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,323 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 9, a par-5 that plays to 569 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 17, a par-3 that plays to 185 yards from the back tees. This, the signature hole, requires a tee shot over water to a peninsula-shaped green.
Guest (cart included), played on Saturday, March 2014 at noon
Played in a Golf Channel Am Tour event last Saturday. Course is very interesting layout, and is it excellent condition. Greens quite fast and tough to read, but they putt very true.
$26 (cart included), played on Tuesday, June 2009 at 6am
Fun Course Slightly Long.

Iceland is one of the hottest travel destinations right now, but while most people head straight to Reykjavik, there's an entire nation waiting to be discovered. Akureyri is the largest city outside the capital, and it's a whopper of a travel destination. It's a laid-back and welcoming city that places an emphasis on the natural wonders that make this nation such a draw. If you're ready to enjoy the natural splendor of Iceland without distraction, you've come to the right place.
Akureyri, Iceland
Repeat After Me
Akureyri =
(Icelandic is a confusing language, so for a clearer understanding of how to pronounce popular places,
watch this
Akureyri has a typical Arctic climate. Read: long dark winters and short bright summers. Both seasons have a lot going for them. Winter = great skiing and a stronger chance of seeing the Northern Lights, though at the cost of occasional snow storms. Summer = more opportunity to explore the outdoors during near 24 hours of sunlight. We recommend heading over between March to September. If you visit in the fringe months you might catch the Aurora Borealis.
Where Do We Start?
If you don't know about Iceland's incredible natural terrain, you must be living under a rock. The country is home to some of the finest outdoor adventures in the world. From hiking up
Mt Súlur
, to kayaking through the
Eyjafjörður fjord
, and breathing in the mist of the thundering
Goðafoss waterfall
, prepare to be amazed everywhere you go. One of the top activities in the region is hopping on a boat and
whale watching
. Get up close and personal with the gentle giants of the deep. The stunning vistas of snow-capped mountains and the fjord aren't so bad either.
Myvatn Nature Baths
Peace and Tranquility
All that outdoor activity got your body aching? Schedule in a little "me" time at one of Akureyri's spas or hot springs. Akureyri has a fantastic outdoor
geothermal swimming pool
that's one of the most popular places in the city. Then, if you head out of the city towards Lake Mývatn, check out the
Nature Baths
. Far less crowded than the famous Blue Lagoon, these geothermal springs are perfect for unwinding for a couple of hours. And if that's too tame, you can also try
, a beer spa outside the city where you can immerse yourself in a fine Icelandic lager and watch your stress slip away.
Just Around the Corner
Despite being the second-largest city in Iceland, Akureyri is only home to around 18,000 people. But that small town charm is what makes it a wonderful place to explore. Visit
church, a smaller take on the famous landmark in Reykjavik, and catch a local event at the Hof Cultural Center. The
Lystigarður Akureyri Botanical Garden
is also worth a visit, with Arctic flora you can't find anywhere else.
Keep Looking Up
Akureyri is one of the best places in Iceland to see the Aurora Borealis, aka the Northern Lights. If you're in the area from September to April and the weather is clear, you're in for a show. Grab some blankets and hot cocoa, and drive out past the city lights to find a prime spot to view the heavens.
"When we arrived at night, the first thing we did was go to a nearby spot to search for the Northern Lights. We headed north on Route 1 and
parked here
. We got to see the amazing lights dance in several colors! We were there from 7:30 pm to 9pm. It's best to get a bit away from the town lights to have a better view... Also the
My Aurora Forecast app
helped us track the lights!"
Ekaterina's Discovery
"The city center reminded us of Christmas with the warm lights between the houses. It was lovely to walk around the center and watch people rushing home through the snow. In the morning, we visited the church on the top of the hill, from which you can see the mountains and the city in general. I would recommend visiting the church on a Sunday service accompanied by an old organ. All in all, Iceland is the best place to visit if you want to see every season of the year."
Follow Ekaterina
I Scream for Iceland
Akureyri offers a wide variety of delicious food options, from fine dining to good old
fish and chips
top the list for nicer dinner options, both offering delicious dishes for a fancy night. Wherever your taste buds take you, follow up your meal with a cone from
, a lip-smacking ice cream shop. No matter how cold it gets outside, you can't go wrong with a scoop of this sweet treat.
Sunnuhlíd Cottage
Tiny House, Big View
While there are hotels and hostels (
Akureyri Backpackers
is one particular favorite) we really recommend checking out
. Many of these gorgeous rentals are outside the city, perfectly positioned under the starry sky. Enjoy the peace and quiet in one of the three tiny houses at
Sunnuhlíð farm
or an apartment in this
spectacular villa
. The modern architecture in the quiet natural landscape will give you the perfect Iceland experience.
Eyes Open
Pay attention to details. Every stop light is special, the red light is a heart and the green light is a smiley face. Iceland is so small, but has so much depth. -
Park It
If you park in Akureyri you need to display a 'clock card' in your windshield. Parking is free but limited. When you park in one of these locations, you need to set the clock card to the current time and return before the time limit for the zone has expired. Clock cards are available for free in banks, shops & petrol stations. -
Watch the Skies
Renting a car in Iceland is essential to be able to explore and enjoy all the sights. Always check the road conditions before heading out of town. The weather can change drastically within few minutes, so always be aware of the weather forecast. -

You had time to moment each and every rhyme

Losing the thought among the lost and wretched…the masses
Sipping the spit off the rims dripping from the institutions of "you're the big winner!"
Competition of the mystery rivals
Sensations with the misery of compliances
I only talk if I have something to say…
Not so much of a covert(ed) mistress of your life
"There she goes again"..they say.
Walking all over the faces of immortal treasury
And the fucked and saluted ignorant of the nation that preys…
Off the resistance of how much I care is how much I feel
Not holding onto it..kinda like the way…I let go of every little
Thing in my life…
Even you….lost interest in your weaknesses
Just like the infomercials rising a speak from
My alter-dreamer last night around 8:03pm (censored).

Beautiful boy….Posted in Jencerpts.. with tags Mind riot, Poetry, self hate on August 13, 2010 by JenJuice
Sometimes I write with my right hand
And other times not
Like when I see you hit
The ground nine times running
Pounding with all you got –
You against the world
Cradle the victim sword and ridicule
Rocking back and forth
Please don't go there no more
Cause you make every situation
An excuse to grope the bottle
Of intention
And the whiskey calls
Like the little boy that you are
In the middle of the broken rubble
When life swells the center
And you fall so deep under
That not even you surrender
can't climb
The way out this time
I duck when you throw your woes
Buried in my rhymes
Calming my senses and
Running away from your ploy
Hit the bottle one more time
And don't fall down the stairs
When you wind up so down
And buried in self hate and worry
You –
The tragedy of this beautiful boy…
Worthless…Posted in Jencerpts.. with tags Alone with Thoughts, Mind riot, Poetry on April 26, 2010 by JenJuice
Never felt that such things would make me
Question my worth
In the paramount lectures
Of thought
Comes to fruition that
Only light feels the way I hear
And I want to reach out, but I find
Once again..it's only me
And the strength within
It is such the reality of the lesser thans
That get and hold me hard
I can't sleep
I can't eat
And I am remembering
All the lack I can't begin to be
Not now
Not ever
Just holding on to the
Extremes that life takes us
Even if it means
Remembering who we are
And where we are at…
Bluesy days…Posted in Jencerpts.. with tags Lifetime, Mind riot, Poetry on December 11, 2009 by JenJuice
The blues inflects
Every little step that
Holds me like the break in between
My breasts
And it shouts.."don't you see!?!"
Like a mangled oblivion
In a room full
Of triangled mazes
There I am..standing
Lost in the moment
To the next
And next –
And not a moment to spare
When we meet again
And it just is…
This way.
Confused…Posted in Jencerpts.. with tags Confusion Seeps, Mind riot, Poetry on October 21, 2009 by JenJuice
I have a mile of fear that isn't coercive
To anything but moving forward
And ideologies less adorned
And I find myself at a stopping point
Of what I should expect
And what I should just be OK with
And never does the truth filter down my leg
Like a dirty little thought that comes
From deep rooted side-notes
And not sure where I go from here
Not sure if I ask
Or just do
Or just lie down and say –
I'm through…

Hi all
Still here in Tel Aviv, having a glorious time in the beautiful weather. The longer I stay, the more I realise that Israel is where Jews belong, and we are just on loan to the rest of the world. In the words of the French Ambassador to the UK, "that shitty little country Israel" is MY shitty little country, and I love it, warts and all.
Some of the little anecdotes from my trip may shed some light on why...
The Velvet Katyusha
From this episode, we learn that my shitty little country is home to a remarkable cultural clash between old-style orthodoxy on which Judaism was built, and the hi-tech modernity on which the State of Israel has thrived.
I visited Jerusalem for a couple of days last week, taking in some sights and decent food, including the excellent Indian business buffet at the Kohinoor restaurant in the Crowne Plaza (thanks Webber, Brahms, Murray and Greg for the excellent company and for helping me through the second sizzler of chicken tikka - couldn't have done it without you).
Later in the day I joined my old friend Jamie in Mea Shearim, the ultra-Orthodox area of the city (via a bite of sabich, the latest Jerusalemite food craze). We were on a mission to buy some velvet for a laboratory experiment involving the transfer of yeast. Don't ask, I don't know any more.
Jamie called his lab to ask what the Hebrew for velvet was, and was told it was something like khatysha, not unlike the word for an old Russian rocket, modified for firing over the borders by Hizbollah freedom fighters at their Israeli oppressors working in the Zionist orchards of the Galilee. Incidentally the link shows why we can't "just give it back to them" as many of my well-meaning and totally uncomprehending liberal Anglo friends suggest. More of which in a future posting.
Anyway, we went into the first schmatter shop and asked for khatysha. The frummer didn't have a clue what we were looking for until Jamie pointed at a roll of velvet...
Jamie: This
Frummer 1: OK, how much of it do you need?
Jamie: About a metre
Frummer 1 (suspicious): And what do you intend to use it for?
Jamie: I'm a scientist at Hebrew U, I need it for some experiments
Frummer 1: Experiments? I DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS USAGE OF THE CLOTH!
Jamie: OK, bye then
So we removed ourselves sharpish, spent 40 minutes trudging up and down to no avail until we found a poky little place selling velvet. By this point, having asked a number of people, we had realised that part of our difficulty in locating velvet was that the word was actually "k'tifah". Jamie went in to negotiate:
Jamie: Good morrow, shopkeeper. May I peruse your fine selection of velveteen cloth?
Frummer 2: 'Ere, wot you want vat four? It costs four 'undged shekels a metre.
Jamie: I am a distinguished scientist at the seat of learning known as Hebrew U, I require said material for some yeast experiments
Frummer 2: Oh, a stewdent? Well ewe can ave it fer fawty sheks den.
Jamie: Jolly-o! I shall fold it into my knapsack presently and be on my way.
Frummer 2: Why we tawking like this instead of in Hebrew?
So we got our metre of velvet at a staggering 90% discount and went on our way. On the way back to his flat, we stopped off to see Meir and Ruth Rigbi (see blogs passim), where Jamie talked science and I ate cheese crackers. Once Jamie had left, I stayed to chat to Meir about life in the Diaspora, and mentioned the planned book (The Trouble With Anglo-Jewry) which I intend to write as a series of short, provocative essays on this blog and eventually discard when I convert to Zoroastrianism.
All in all, a stimulating day at the crossroads of religion and secularism.
Cornflakes for lockshen
From this episode, we learn that my shitty little country is home to the Sabra.
The following day, after a great dinner and overnight stay with the Rosenweins (hi!), I went to visit grandpa's sister Deb in the sheltered accommodation in Gonen. Now aunt Dvorah is a character - she is very blunt and politically somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan (RIP). Helen still hasn't got over the time we visited her, when I got a gummy peck on the cheek and Helen got "you're looking rather fat". Having said that, we both remember as kids how exciting it was to be served Coke for breakfast at her flat.
Now aunt Deb has been keeping her sporting prowess from her family for all these years. For her legendary poo golfing incident, see this previous posting. On this most recent visit, I found that her ability with the shot putt or perhaps basketball has been overlooked. Also, she may have discovered the missing link between an American breakfast and a Yiddishe supper.
We sat down to lunch and the staff brought out chicken soup. Without warning, Deb opened her purse, rummaged about, then shied a full hand of crushed Cornflakes across the table and perfectly into my bowl. As I sat there in amazement both at the technical feat and the peculiarity of seeing little orange knobbly bits of corn dissolving in anything other than milk, she added a generous handful to her own bowl, gave it a little stir, and chowed down. I followed suit, and dear Reader, I can tell you that I will never go back to those grim yellow cubes of Osem mandeln in my soup again.
Deb is believed by some family historians to have been one of the causes of the 6-Day War. Contrary to popular opinion, this is not because she threw Cornflakes in Nasser's molokheya.
She wrote to Golda Meir in 1965 advocating a policy of pre-emptive strikes against the surrounding hostile regimes, who were launching regular terror attacks against Israeli civilian targets in border areas and routinely blockading Israel's only link to the Southern Hemisphere, the Straits of Tiran. I asked her if she ever had any reply - Deb said simply: "the response was the 6-Day War". All papers and correspondence on the matter are on file at the Israeli national archive.
After lunch, she showed me some wonderful photos of our family from as early as the 1800s, including one of grandpa looking very dashing in his WWII uniform, on home leave. She has promised me a copy of this if she has one!
We also talked about her childhood and her life when she first got to Israel. She is a doughty woman who has been through considerable adversity but throughout has retained a sense of purpose and has not compromised on her values. Despite her best efforts to hide it sometimes, she is thoroughly well-meaning, generous and kind.
To me, she epitomises the Sabra spirit. A sabra is a cactus-like prickly pear indigenous to the region, and representative of the Israeli national character. It seems coarse, thick-skinned and prickly on the outside, but once you get inside, you find it sweet and refreshing, all the more impressive given its battle for survival in the harshest of climates.
Pals on the phone
From this episode, we learn that my shitty little country is so small that we get our wires crossed with our neighbours.
On Thursday night, a few of us drove south out of Jerusalem on Route 60, to Efrata and Matthew & Ilana's sheva brachot at Scotty's in-laws. We got there without incident, and enjoyed a magnificent feast, merriment etc. Chanit, if you're reading, please can I have your mum's recipe for those chocolate squares?
I also got a text message to inform me my phone had located a new network:
Marhaba. Smell the jasmine and taste the olives. Jawwal welcomes you to Palestine. For Customer Service dial 111.
Given that at the time we were driving along Route 60, known as the "Tunnel Road", a favourite hunting ground of Palestinian snipers until Israel lined the road with alternating concrete blocks, I was thinking "Marhaba. Smell the cordite and taste the fear. Fatah welcomes you to Palestine." might have been more appropriate. Nevertheless, there was something quite encouraging to see the bright green numberplates and mustard yellow paint of Palestinian taxis, harmoniously sharing the road with Israeli cars and vans flying the orange tassles of anti-disengagement.
Somehow I felt driving along that road a strange sense of hope that we can unentangle from each other in a mutually beneficial manner. On the one hand there was a small sense of fear given where we were and the continued level of hundreds of attempted attacks a month (mysteriously unreported by the BBC). Also, walking around Efrata and especially singing at the Sheva Brachot, I had a profound sense of what it was like to be a pioneer deep in uncharted territory, and a slightly better understanding of how painful it would be to give it up. On the other hand, I saw the contrast between the smart villas of Efrata and the dusty Palestinian villages on the surrounding hills.
But also I could see how each side might have the ability to help the other, if only they would treat us as an opportunity for betterment instead of as an enemy to dislodge from their midst, and if only we would do more to bring forward voices of moderation on both sides.
In the meantime, I believe that good fences make good neighbours...
