Urban Mali promises to turn your balcony, frontyard or even a simple windowsill into a pretty garden space with native plants.
Create a Garden Right at Home with Urban Mali
Going green
It was the thought "What if everyone began growing vegetables or plants in their homes?" which inspired city-based botanist and nature lover, Vandana Krishnamurthy to do something different. Teaming up with fellow nature enthusiast, Radha Eshwar, the duo set forth with Urban Mali, a social enterprise that encourages homes to grow native plants {indigenous to India} and create their own gardens, forming an emotional bond between people and nature. Currently working with a team of gardeners {who are basically rural farmers who migrated to the city for jobs}, they have already set up over 35 organic gardens within the past six months!
Green house
Wondering how to get your own garden at home? Once you contact them, a site visit is set up and the chief gardener, Sudhakar, will come by to take a look at your space. Also, expect catalogues to choose what look you would like for your garden and questionnaires to know more about your preferences {with questions like what a garden means to you and what vegetables you mostly buy}. After they are told about any specifications you have and their final plan is accepted, it doesn't take more than three-four days for your garden to take shape, under the able hands of the malis. And, the best part? They are ready to take up even the smallest of spaces. So, whether it's a spacious rooftop or even that extra-wide window ledge, they promise to give you a spot of greenery. Want a pretty space in your office balcony? Or, perhaps in your bedroom? The folks are Urban Mali are all up for it. Ranging from vegetables, flowering, herbal and indoor varieties, they also let you choose the kind of plants you'd like. What's more, they even set up fruit trees in large garbage bins!

Ben Askren is undefeated. He's never lost a fight in his MMA career and the closest he came to defeat was a 2011 split decision win against Jay Hieron. Askren has hardly been tested in Bellator. He's dominated his fights with smothering wrestling and top control. However, because his style isn't casual-fan friendly, detractors call him boring. I disagree. There's a beauty to the takedown and Askren has the best in Bellator. Power doubles are complemented with sneaky singles and trips. He mixes them in flawlessly and constantly confuses his opponents.
Once he gets his opponent to the ground, Askren employs a phenomenal positioning game. His top control is fantastic and he almost always is in a dominant position. Even though he doesn't finish as many opponents as fans want, he doesn't just lay around and hug people. He's constantly working and has a very good gas tank.
So this leads us to the UFC. Recently, Askren has said that he, not current no. 1 contender Johny Hendricks is the man to defeat current Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. Whoaaaaaaaa. Let's hold on a second. Perhaps this could happen in a couple years, not anytime in the near future. However, Askren definitely has the chops to beat some top 10 welterweights.
Hopefully Askren will be in the UFC within six months. Since he's not Gilbert Melendez, I don't think he's going to get an immediate title shot or even a no. 1 contender's match. So if the Condits/Hendricks'/McDonalds/Maias are all near the very top of the division, who's left?
My preference would be Josh Koscheck. Both men are NCAA All-American wrestlers, but I think the X-factor would be Koscheck's striking game. Right now, we haven't seen what Askren can do with his hands and feet. There's a huge difference between hammerfisting a guy from half guard and throwing in the pocket across from a guy who can knock your head off.
Basically, I want to see Askren challenged. He's a great fighter, though not without his shortcomings. He's only 29, so he's still got a little time to develop some more competent standup. Without a better striking game, the top UFC welterweights will turn him into a corpse.
But if he can start throwing a solid 1-2 combo and diversifying his skills, there's a possibility that he might be the man to beat GSP.

It seems like almost every week there are news stories that slam the public school. So when I can, I want to take a "Current News" story and give my little take on it. This week is a story about a boy who was given detention for being late to school.
This is the headline that was put out on Facebook by Fox News
6-Year-Old Forced to Eat Lunch Alone After He's 1 Minute Late for School
Above the headlines was the following description:
Six-year-old Hunter Cmelo was one minute late to school because his mother's car wouldn't start. So as punishment, the principal forced him to eat lunch alone behind a cardboard divider.
First let me say this about the media, as much as I like Fox news, they are just as guilty of blowing stories out of proportion as the liberal media is. In fact I would say mainstream media as a whole loves to draw people using deceptive headlines and playing on emotions.
One thing we have to be careful of is judging this story as a whole story, there are two sides to the story, the boy and his families and the Principal of the schools. The story tells us the boy had been late several times and is blamed both on car trouble and on health issues. I can not say that the excuses aren't viable, but the truth is, you can come up with all the excuses in the world, but eventually someone is going to have to take the blame.
In my personal opinion I believe there was more to this story than just a boy being late and being punished, maybe their had been other discipline problems, perhaps the parent had been warned of the child being tardy and the punishment that would ensue had he continued to be late. In the end I don't think the principal was 100% wrong for punishing the child for his tardiness, but perhaps she could have punished in a different way.
What I have learned from this (and other stories like it) is we have a generation of people who villainize almost anyone who is in authority when they do something that goes against them or their child. This doesn't mean that authority is always right, because as long as authorities are humans they will always make mistakes, however this does not give us excuse to disobey our perfect Authority who says "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:" Hebrews 13:17.
BTW this isn't just a public school problem, this is a problem across the board, Christian School, Public School, College, Church, Work, any place there is authority there is this problem of little to no respect for the authorities that people have either been placed under or have chosen to be placed under.
I guess you could say I am a little old fashioned, when it comes to people who are in authority over my child, I will always stand on the side of the authority, and if I didn't understand why they did what they did, then I would take time to find out their side of things. It doesn't mean I always agree with everything an authority does, but it also doesn't mean I have to go and make a spectacle out of it and tell everyone around me how much I disagreed with what the authority did. I certainly wouldn't let my child believe for one minute that I don't respect the authority placed over him. If a child sees that you don't respect authority, how can you expect your child to respect you as their authority?
If a child sees that you don't respect authority, how can you expect your child to respect you as their authority?

I completely agree Diana!Delete
I had no idea that you could find a readers blog info by clicking on their name - I think that might only be relevant for Blogger users, many use wordpress or other formats. Also links are easier as we won't be redirected too far from the original post.
Yes, I have no problem with fellow bloggers leaving a link but don't just do it to get traffic i.e Link dumping as Diana said. I've discovered some excellent blogs that way but engage and care about the content.Delete
I was so happy to read your post because this is exactly what the blogging community should be about. Engaging and really are learning from each other.

In one year of my blogging I have found so many blogs just by the links left on so many other blog comments. There are so many genuine people who will actually spend time and read your post and then comment. Of course there are some who just comment to leave a link. We can understand that by reading the comments haha! Besides leaving links is good for your blog as well as the other bloggers where the back link is generated and it good for SEO purposes. Please correct me if I am wrong here. I have read at so many places that backlink is important. For very long time I only used to leave comment without the link. :-) Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

So, this album is slightly late…... When Beck released Morning Phase (our review cleverly linked here), it was supposed to be accompanied by a second album. But things have not gone to plan, his documented health issues, the various tours that needed to be completed, all distractions than can cause plans to be changed. Due to all the sprawling chaos, the recording sessions with Greg Kurstin's has been delayed and postponed at times, leading to a fractured production process. Work on Colors started in 2013, so you would expect that it has been released without any flaws. The first single from Colors "Dreams" was released in 2015, with three other singles coming over the next two years. Now, as with all Beck albums, he has changed his style once again – this time he has gone art-pop according to some reviews I have read beforehand, but am I gonna agree with those sentiments? Personally, I am still awaiting the louder album that was due to follow Morning Phase, but I can only dream at this juncture. Now, without much further ado, it is time to see what Beck has been up to……
01 – Colors
Starting with the title track, "Colors" begins this album with a Euro-centric, modern electronica disco piece that is full of breakbeats, panpipe keyboards, atmospheric moments to collect your breath and a production job that is second to none. But it's a little hollow, as if there is a desperate grab towards past events occurring, and a desire for youthful experiences growning in an unhealthy fashion. So, an interesting opening, but not one that sits well with me.
02 – Seventh Heaven
After the raindrop keyboard introduction, Beck goes Bruno Mars/Michael Jackson on "Seventh Heaven". It's a shiny pop song, nothing more and nothing less to be honest. For full disclosure, I find the production to be as brilliant as ever and the hook in the chorus is great to be honest. But once again, that uneasy feeling is hard to shift on this song for me. I cannot get rid of that vision of a Ferrari badge that needs to be added to the album cover, and "Seventh Heaven" does nothing to change this.
03 – I'm So Free
"I'm So Free" suffers from a case of mis-heard lyrics for me, when I first heard the chorus, I though Beck was saying "I'm So Fake…". Even after reading the lyrics over and over again, I cannot shake that mistake from my head, so I owe Beck an apology there. Musically, it is a larger than life song which aims to be a crowd pleaser, with a chorus that will have people jumping up and down in unison. Those old-school indie rocker sensibilities start to creep through the pop veneer of the album, but it does nothing to change my view of the record.
04 – Dear Life
Starting with a piano introduction, "Dear Life" is a slower moment on this record, one which laments the world and is brimming with regret. It's a straight forward pop number, one that could have easily been created by any charting acts over the last 20 years. Once more, the production is on point, but I am still not loving "Dear Life" sadly.
05 – No Distraction
I think that "No Distraction" has truly took inspiration from the Bruno Mars song "Locked Out of Heaven", with a positive uplift to the music. Lyrically though, "No Distraction" is dealing with lost times, failed moments and indecisiveness. With that sounds of desperation, this well produced song does not hold my attention as well as other songs on the record. It is played well once again, but it's not his finest song in Beck's long career.
06 – Dreams (Colors Mix)
A remix of the first single from this album is next, with "Dreams" hitting the dancefloor with a huge amount of swagger! With a larger than life sound, "Dreams" hits all the right buttons to be an indie disco classic, you cannot deny that Beck has made a powerful pop number with "Dreams", but it feels hollow where there should be a warmth to the sound. Beautiful, but ultimately, empty. For information purposes only, the deluxe version of this album has the original version of "Dreams" added at the end of the record.
07 – Wow
"Wow" is the only song of the whole album I can honestly say I don't at least admire, which is not the case with the rest of the record. It feels like a bad version of "Loser", updated for the modern age and with no real conviction behind it. I will move on swiftly, I don't to waste my effort on this one.
08 – Up All Night
"Up All Night" is a song about sex, sexy, sexy, sex with the usual stellar production job to the music, but the words are not delivered with conviction for my money. It's the ongoing theme of the album where you find cold where there should be warmth, amazing music which lacks a defined soul at its core. It is played well, but there is not emotional attachment.
09 – Square One
"Square One" is the penultimate song of this album, a song which transcendence the overall empty feeling of the album. It reminds me a lot of Ben Folds at his most outlandish, there is a humour to the song that has sorely been missing from this record. Everything comes together, production, music, performance and the result is head and shoulders above everything else on the album. Beck has always been able to do pop, this is proof positive of that.
10 – Fix Me
"Fix Me" is all about the desire to be washed away, to be lost and needing to start all over again. "Fix Me" is a slow and moody song, the pop energy of the rest of Colors is nowhere to be seen on this one. Beck has added a good ending to this record, but it's still not a song I would reach for if I wanted to listen to some Beck.
My gut feeling for this album is not good, but this must be explained. I cannot shake the feeling that this album needs a Ferrari badge on the cover, as if the midlife crisis is in full effect. It's either that or something has in Beck's life to infuse this youthful desire, this energy into his current album, because it is a hollow record. I love the production on this record, it sounds larger than life and it has a cutting-edge feel. But hear me out here on this one, as I do have a few issues with the overall result. Firstly, my end impression of Colors is that Beck has guested on his own album, one created with the assistance of Daft Punk, Bruno Mars and Justice with its Euro-Continental Disco vibe that incorporates a Taylor Swift on acid lyrical vibe. It feels as if he is keeping up with the current sound of the world, even though it was started years ago (does that make him visionary?) and it doesn't sound natural when I am listening to it. Secondly, even by Beck's standards, the lyrics are not as strong as he has works he has produced before. Some of the words are tortured into rhyming, when these usually feel like water flowing, as if they are written such easily it would defy the Gods. Whilst I am moaning about those aspects of the album, I cannot claim that Colors is a badly performed album. I don't think Beck is capable of such a thing, not without starting Armageddon. Musically, as I have mentioned throughout the review, the production job on Colors is great, I applaud him for following his own path on this pop record. But I cannot say this is the best thing Beck has done, it's just not up, it doesn't come close to his own high standards and that will become more apparent through the years. Colors is a fun ride for sure, but that feeling of midlife crisis is haunting this record. That said, at least he has kept it interesting and no-one would have seen this coming, so business as usual with Beck…. maybe.
6 out of ten – Now, I see where you are going, but it is not quite there.

Easy tips for healthy teeth
New Delhi: Sensitivity and trouble in jaw/teeth is a common thing during monsoon season. Avoid having steaming hot food or beverages and floss regularly, say experts.
Romsha Vashishth, consultant, oro-dental surgeon and implantologist at Columbia Asia Hospital and Aarti Bhasin, consultant dentist at Prive Skin & Wellness Clinic shares a few tips:
» Follow a oral hygiene routine: Brush your teeth twice a day and use desensitize toothpaste to avoid sensitive teeth which is a common problem in the monsoon season.
» Reduce intake of added sugars, preservatives and processed foods: Since every sip or bite is an acid attack it has too many micro-organisms.
» Replace old or worn toothbrushes: If your toothbrush is older than 2 months, it's about time to get a new one. Other signs of replacement are worn or frayed bristles as these won't clean every nook and corner of your teeth leaving them unclean and unhealthy.
» Nutritionally positive and season rich Diet– One should eat all the fresh fruits and fruits which are available during the monsoon season. Drink soups, eat almonds, corns and strawberries.
» Use of antioxidants and vitamin c rich foods / supplements– To avoid bleeding of gums, eat as many fruits like pineapple and cucumber to keep your gums healthy.
» Use of Mouth guard: To avoid Oral Injury, kids should use this when going out in the playing areas.
Care for Kids– Every sugary sports drink add to acid attacks in every sip of it. Substitute it with coconut water, fresh juice and drink water.
» Cleaning your tongue: As this helps in removing the bad breath and the bacterial problems in the mouth one should clean the tongue daily.
» Use of non-alcoholic mouthwash: For fresh breath and to maintain the pH of the saliva, mouthwash is the best.
» Avoid hot sips: Rains increase the cravings for Tea, hot fried foods, hot soup. Tooth sensitivity is caused by the stimulation of cells within these tubes, causing a short, sharp pain when the area is exposed to hot or cold temperatures through food and beverages. Avoid having steaming hot food or beverages.
» Avoid caffeine: Rain is a perfect excuse of another cup of hot coffee. Coffee helps the bacteria in your mouth to create acids that can lead to tooth and enamel erosion. This can cause your teeth to become thin and brittle. Coffee can also cause bad breath.
» Visit a doctor: Make an immediate appointment visit a doctor if have any tooth ache.

You may have noticed the new Lexus NX cruising through better neighbourhoods lately; I've certainly seen my fair share. It's an eye-catching addition to the ever-expanding compact luxury crossover market segment.
Most units passing by are conventionally powered NX 200t models (these available in an array of trims including base, Premium, Luxury, Executive, or one of three edgier-looking F SPORT models), but a select few whisk past in more fuel-efficient NX 300h hybrid guise, upgradable with a new Executive package for 2016.
When I reviewed the Lexus NX 200t F SPORT last year, I came pretty close to gushing. While not quite as moved by this most recent 300h Executive tester, at least as far as emotive styling and forward motivation go, it improved my mood when time came to fill up.
The first thing I noticed when taking delivery of this top-line NX 300h model was its toned-down grille. Lexus no doubt chose the more subdued look of the base 200t to make the hybrid variant appeal to a less extroverted clientele. Following this quieter, more thoughtful theme is a less pronounced lower fascia with unique fog lamps in chromed bezels, although my Executive tester's full LED headlamps included some pretty flashy triple-stacked hardware. Satin-silver 18" alloys round out the wheel cutouts instead of the F SPORT's racier, machine-finished rims, while unique chromed slats in the rear valance where the tailpipes usually go give the Lexus NX hybrid an appropriately electrified appearance, as if it doesn't even need an internal combustion engine to function.
300h performance
Of course, we know this isn't the case. Under the hood is the same 2.5L Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder engine as in the ES 300h sedan, complete with a NiMH battery, electric motors, and continuously variable transmission. Its 194 net horsepower doesn't make it very spirited off the line, but the electrified NX can certainly hold its own against impatient traffic.
At low speeds, up to about 40 km/h, it'll run on EV power for short distances, which is nice for cruising through parking lots or when trapped in stop-and-go traffic, while its standard AWD system manages slippery mid-winter takeoff and high-speed control well. Wheel slippage causes a second 67-horsepower rear-mounted electric motor to engage the back tires. The front electric motor/generator takes care of the majority of motive assistance, the aforementioned CVT transferring twist to the front wheels.
While the 2016 Lexus NX 300h doesn't feel as raring to go as the 200t even when its driving mode selector is dialed all the way from Eco to Sport, the company has endowed it with a kick-down mode for passing that results in snappier response and a nice, linear power curve. More importantly, it's completely smooth and thoroughly comfortable around town, while it cruises highways and byways wonderfully. Handling obviously isn't as edgy without the F SPORT's suspension upgrades, and the hybrid's front-to-rear Dynamic Torque Control-enhanced E-Four AWD is a wholly different system than the 200t's, but its upgraded front gas struts and otherwise identical fully independent suspension makes for a very capable and stable CUV when tackling twisty back roads or just circling a cloverleaf at faster than posted speeds. Lexus engineers partially achieved this by splitting the battery pack in two and distributing its weight more evenly from front to back ― you'd never know there was anything under the load floor if no one told you.
The NX 300h's passenger volume is identical to the conventionally powered NX. That means it's quite sizeable for the class, with ample roominess up front for most body types and space for two very comfortable adults in the rear, or three without the benefit of the folding centre armrest. There are some volumetric shortcomings with cargo space, mind you, but I doubt many will notice: The hybrid's 475L maximum volume behind the rear seats is 25 litres short of the 200t, while folding its 60/40-split seatbacks forward results in the same 25L cargo space loss with 1,520 litres available. Additionally, fuel tank capacity is down to 56 litres (-4), but you won't need as much gas in this hybrid, so it's a moot point.
Where the NX 200t does pretty well with a 5-cycle rating of 10.8L/100km city, 8.8L/100km highway, and 9.9L/100km combined, the NX 300h delivers an impressive 7.1 city, 7.7 highway, and 7.4 combined. These figures are aided by auto start/stop and regenerative braking.
To that end, the NX 300h might give you some pause over the 200t, even when similarly equipped.
Speaking of equipment…
Before delving into Executive trim ($60,200), I should tell you that the base Premium model ($53,550) is remarkably appointed with standard LEDs for most lighting elements including the auto on/off headlamps, daytime running lamps, clearance lamps, fog lights, side mirror turn signals, and brake lamps, plus 18" alloys, aluminum roof rails, proximity access with push-button ignition, Drive Mode Select, a power-adjustable steering column, a heated leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, a TFT multi-information display, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, heated power auto-dimming side mirrors with memory, a garage door opener, dual-zone automatic climate control, a large colour infotainment display with the new Remote Touch Interface laptop-style touchpad controller, a reverse camera, voice activation, navigation, Bluetooth with audio streaming, an 8-speaker stereo, 8-way power front seats with driver's side memory, heated and ventilated front cushions, NuLuxe leatherette upholstery, a 120V household-style power outlet, a power moonroof, a power liftgate, as well as all the usual active and passive safety features including a knee blocker for the driver.
On top of this, my Executive tester added beautiful Shimamoku hardwood trim, auto-leveling headlamps with auto high beams, rain-sensing wipers, a head-up display, clearance and backup sensors, adaptive cruise control, Qi wireless device charging, 10-speaker audio, power-folding rear seats with switches on the dash and in the cargo area, blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert, lane departure alert with steering assist, and a pre-collision system. Consequently, the 2016 Lexus NX 300h earned the best possible Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS.
I first found it strange that real leather upholstery wasn't available, but I'm guessing Lexus decided to limit bovine-produced methane emissions for this environmentally focused model. Fortunately, the NuLuxe leatherette feels genuine and breathes fairly well, while the rest of the interior makes up for any loss of traditional luxury. Unlike some premium brands that base a given model on a mainstream volume vehicle yet don't differentiate smaller details like switchgear, the NX shows as little of its RAV4 roots inside as it does outside. In other words, you'll be searching for a long time to find any visible carryover components ― unless you open the hood as the NX 300h shares its slightly disguised powertrain with the new 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
Lexus clearly doesn't want upwardly mobile RAV4 owners to question why they should pay more for an NX, even rewording and changing the colour of the similarly shaped ignition button. Remaining buttons, toggles, and knobs are as unique as can be, and very high in quality, while the overall design is a particularly attractive mix of hard edges and soft curves, much of which were asymmetrically drawn to attract fans of the avant-garde, with more soft-touch, contrast-stitched, leather-like surfaces than you'll find in most competitive compact SUVs. Stylish satin-silver metallic trim outlines key components, while thoughtful touches include a small compartment with a mirror-backed, removable leatherette lid.
I could go on and on about my tester's details, including the sharp resolution of the bright, colourful primary gauges and integrated multi-info display; the numerous benefits of the head-up display; how much better the new infotainment controller works; the various info, audio, media, phone, and system setup functions within; the accuracy of its navigation system and clarity of its backup camera; how brilliant the audio system sounded; and all of its comfortable padded surfaces and impressive componentry. However, I'd rather leave this and more for your personal discovery.
Summing up the NX 300h
Along with excellent fuel economy and lower emissions, the 2016 Lexus NX 300h is ultimately quiet, rides sublimely, handles well, and is a dream on the highway. It might just be the perfect compact luxury SUV. While I'd take mine in 200t guise with the new F SPORT 3 upgrade, I can appreciate that some drivers lean more towards luxury than sport. The fact that Lexus does both so very well is a testament to how far the brand has come over the past 26 years ― and a win-win for its many loyal fans.

Produced out of the Nica Sueno factory, the Powstanie Habano and Broadleaf wrapper options came about as sampler packs that were mailed out to customers. The customers voted for their favorite, and the Habano won by a slim margin. Since both were popular they decided to release both. Originally just released in the Cigar Hustler store, it was made available to other retailers in November 2015.
The symbol for Powstanie pays homage to the Kotwica, which was the emblem for Polish resistance forces during World War II. Powstanie also means uprising in Polish.
Original production was a Belicoso (5-1/4x54) and Toro (6x52), with the Perfecto (5x50) coming with the November release.
Check out our interview with Mike Szczepankewicz at IPCPR 2016 in Las Vegas:
Check out my video review here:
The nose on the Powstanie Habano is a wonderful spicy cedar with hints of chocolate underneath. I'm not detecting anything different from the foot.
Since the cap is quite pointed I elected for a guillotine cut and found the draw to be perfect.
My initial impressions are a lot of creaminess, with baking spices mixed in. The spices have significantly more body on the retrohale with a great creamy mouthfeel post draw, and hints of leather. As the first third settles in, the post draw leather is really stepping up in intensity, fighting with the creaminess. Some spicy pepper is also coming in just under the flavor radar. At only 20 minutes in, I'm really feeling the full strength and full bodied nature of this cigar.
As the first third transitions to the middle third, there's some sweet cedar at a medium strength level. All other flavors are above medium strength at this point. As the middle third settles in, the sweet cedar starts to take over with the post draw leather letting up. The spices along with some pepper are moving up in strength. At the halfway point the sweet cedar becomes a cedar and leather combination.
Moving into the last third, the leather takes over again and brings some earthiness and barely detectable espresso. The leather is also starting to take over from the creaminess as well. Once the cigar establishes itself there's a big, complex spiciness with an earthy nutmeg underscoring it.
Total smoking time 1 hour and 25 minutes.
If you're looking for a cigar that takes you to the wall with full bodied flavors and is full strength, the Powstanie Habano should be on your shopping list.

Diagnostic testing (salivary testing) identifies hormonal imbalances that are then addressed with the use of BHRT. Bio-identical hormones used in BHRT include estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone and testosterone. Cortisol may be supplemented in cases of cortisol deficiency but cortisol is not normally considered part of BHRT.

Cloisonne Beads
Experience the superior quality and elegance of our cloisonne beads! Cloisonne beads are created by affixing a metal wire to the base bead to act as a color seperater. A powdered colored glass enamel is then painted between the partitions. After a firing and polishing process, the bead is electroplated in a gold or silver film and a beautiful new bead is born. The art of cloisonne was first developed in the near east. The art form soon spread into China where many production facilities are operated today. Combine cloisonne beads with our precious metal earring parts to create a subtly sophisticated pair of earrings that will be the envy of all your friends.

Yesterday was my official last day in Bunka Institute of Language. It was our graduation. :fly:
I went to Japan to study Japanese in this school. It was a year of almost giving up, failures, worries, conflicts…
But those did not matter. I chose to stay… to prove to myself that I can be good at this. That I am no quitter.
6 months ago, I took a very important achievement test that I was preparing for a week.
I guess it was too late for me, I was such a bad student before as well..
It was a blow for me when one of the teachers told me that I had to repeat everything that I have studied when I got here.
I was almost there, about to say- "I won't continue this anymore." :tsk:
I'm glad I didn't.
Being the only Filipino in campus was hard.. but the challenge was bearable.
I have realized that doing something for the second time is not an embarrassing move but rather, a very humbling experience.
I have no regrets of studying again everything from the very start because I know that this time—- I finished it right.
Monkey Majik – Tada Arigatou (ただ、ありがとう)!
This is our small bakery at school. I have survived mornings with their delicious pans and nikumans. I am going to miss the nicest people here.
I came early for our graduation practice so I decided to walk around the campus.. very nostalgic for some reason.
Where I study & hang out by myself every morning. This place is very calming for me.
Our cute little bookstore with all the fashion magazines a girl would love!
Illustration, patterns, profiles, everything. Here.
Where my Chinese friends and I eat when it's lunch. I'll miss the 100 yen food here!
I used to study a lot in this place as well. Bunka's extensive library. Free magazine viewing of all fashion magazines!
Small exhibit of students' best works. Amazing.
My last cream pan from the bakery for my lunch.
Here's a little gift to me, from me! The cutest book ever! I got a free bag as well! Happiness level x 1000% caused by getting free stuff : )
What I will be doing for the spring & summer season. Once my hobby room is fixed!
This shall keep me sane from the work I will be doing next week!
After eating lunch in the classroom, I just took photos before the graduation at 1PM starts.
*heaves a euphoric sigh of relief*
Stared at this for a long time. I couldn't believe I DID IT!
The day has come!
Participating countries from all over the world.
Beautiful & handsome batchmates in Kimono!
Kariya-sensei & Dawa + Shouro being so lady-like!
I'll miss seing these people. Keep in touch, ne!
After my graduation, I met up with my brother & ate Claire for our mini celebration! I brought a very good news with me as well so the celebration was .. better?? Haha :hug:
First Kitchen, Purikura & Forever21 Haul!!
My family here in Japan. :heart:
My Second Diploma
When we met for the last time in our class, my teacher handed me the most surprising thing ever!
In order to get a diploma, your attendance should be 90%+++..
My attendance for the first half was already 83%.. because I went back home for my university graduation + got two of my molars extracted + Disney sea! : ))
I really thought that I was not a candidate for getting a Diploma! But here it is!!! :heart:
My before & after grades. I kept my shitty transcript before so I will be more motivated to study harder!
I'll take a break from Nihongo for now… I'll see you again when I retake my JLPT N3 test this June/July!
My books
Practice notebook before kanji quizzes
What a "slap-in-the-face" shitty grades could do to someone like me. I even used stick-on bookmarks!
Because the second time is always sweeter.
My buddies during train rides.
Before I end this entry, I would like to thank my brother who sponsored me for my Japanese language school. Ironically, he has been using reverse psychology to get me work!
He was the one who kept on encouraging me to stop school (along with the devil Kaila).. but I guess the moment when I showed my diploma to him was equivalent to a bitch slap as well, right? : )))

Day 2
Thornburgh men carried on from where they left off on Day 2 beating St Lukes 18-4. Tries went to Errol Miller, Callum Brown and Reece Wallace, with Harold Gallasch converting his 2 kicks and Callum Brown kicking his 1 kick. Man of the Match was Reece Wallace.
After coming first in their pool, the BTC boys had to play against St Columban's in the first of the games in the Plate Division. St Columban's came out firing posting first points leaving BTC to play catch up. BTC played well in the second half.....winning the half but not quite catching up to St Columban's earlier points. BTC went down 16-8 with Roy Fisher named the Man of the Match. While the BTC team are out of the Plate contention now, they will be giving their best in the remaining two games. Callum Brown could be out with a shoulder injury and Errol Miller was not walking on foot very well. The team deserves a well earned rest tomorrow to try and gather their strength.
Day 4
After a much needed rest day the Thornburgh lads lined up against St Lukes. Even with some of the boys carrying injuries they took to the field ready to do their best. St Luke's posted the first points with BTC matching it. After a hard fought games both teams were on 12 points. Unfortunately the win went on who posted the first points which was St Lukes. Good game boys, you played well with tries to Reece Wallace and Brennan Leggett. Harold Gallasch converted both and Man of the Match went to Reece Wallace.
Day 5
The final day and what a great, nail biting, heart stopping game. The Thornburgh boys took to the field against St Patricks Shorncliffe. The opposition was the first to post some points but Roy Fisher charged over the line to post BTC's first points. With a kick from Danny Rayment, Darcy Ginns Larkin took off and caught the Shorncliffe boys napping. After gathering the kicked ball he sped down the field with Danny Rayment supporting. A quick pass back to Danny and he scooted over the line. After Errol Miller intercepted Shorncliffe's pass and raced down the field to plant the ball under the post Harold Gallasch converted. The Thornburgh boys were looking good. Unfortunately Shorncliffe hit back and with about 10 minutes to go BTC were down by 4 points. The huge crowd of supporters were getting slightly nervous, especially when 2 BTC tries were called as knocked on and forward pass before Shorncliffe took off down to their try line. Great defence from BTC and penalties against the opposition saw and the ball come back to Thornburgh's try line, before Callum Brown burst through the defence to place the ball behind the posts to allow a good conversion by Harold. BTC up by 2 points with a few minutes to go. The icing on the cake was when Harold pushed through the opposition's defence to dive over the try line. Toby Paynter converted on the full time hooter with the Thornburgh Men winning 28-20. Great game with Errol Miller named Man of the Match.
Thank you gifts were given to Adam Bowden, Jack Francis, Max Batt and Cameron Batt. A big thank you to Sponsors Cardno Bowler for the playing gear, the Batt family for the BTC bucket hats, to Mr Fairbairn and all the supporters. Congratulations to Callum Brown for being the Thornburgh Player of the Carnival.

Design Issues
Although you can do almost anything with Flash, it's important to consider the needs of the end user. Standards have been developed to promote consistency and accessibility in these kinds of projects. Ask yourself:
As you design materials, be certain that you have consider use by those with special needs. Because Flash is a graphical interface and most of the text can't be read by screen readers, it's important to consider accessibility in the design of Flash content. However Flash software allows content developers to meet all of the requirements of Section 508 (WebAIM Section 508 Checklist).
One important new feature of Flash CS5 is increased accessibility; this version of Flash makes it possible to reach more varied users. Flash CS5 allows authors to assign equivalents to images using the Accessibility panel or scripted properties. The capabilities include a captioning component that allows authors to apply synchronized captions to video in Flash, authors can create text-only versions of their movies, audio descriptions can be added to streaming media using cue points, and the interface provides an authoring environment that allows means other than color to convey information.
There are two approaches to accessibility. First, you may build accessibility into your Flash project. Second, you may create an alternative version of your project. For example, examine the Flash and Nonflash versions of Dirty Bomb: Sources of Radiation from PBS NOVA.
Read Creating Accessible Sites in Flash at WebAIM.
Let's explore a few techniques for accessibility; this first suggeston made by a student:
Properties Panel. You can add accessibility information by clicking on the little person icon in the Properties panel. Then type a brief descriptions in the title field. You can also add button titles. - J. Heaphey
Skim through the directions found at Using Flash to Enter Accessibility Information for Screen Readers and Specifying Advanced Accessibility Options for Screen Readers. These are resources that you can return to when you begin developing your own Flash products.
Testing and Usability
Read About Accessible Content for Adobe Flash CS5.
Usability testing helps developers identify how people use their projects and where they may encounter difficulty in use. Careful testing and revision can significantly reduce development, training and support costs. In addition, it can improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and appeal of web-based materials.

Country Music Half Marathon 2010
April 28, 2010
Well, this was my goal race. I finished it and I wasn't swept away by a tornado, so I suppose that's a big win for me. But things didn't go as well as I would have hoped.
The day started out ominously. There was red all over the radar and tornados and large hail in the forcast. I actually wasn't very worried about the weather for two reasons: 1) The TV stations here ALWAYS overhype any weather system that comes into Nashville. "Will it rain frogs tomorrow? Find out at 10 o'clock!" 2) I was going to do this thing no matter what the weather was like.
I left a little later than I had wanted to and on the drive into town there was some nasty lightening off to the west. As I approached the downtown area, traffic began to back up and I soon feared that I'd miss the start of the race. After remembering that over half of the participants would be from out of town, I decided to take my chances on the side streets. I got off the interstate and within 5 minutes I was parking, so that went better than expected. I walked over to the stadium and got on a bus to take the trip to the starting line.
When I got to the start, most of the runners were already there. The rain clouds were still a ways off, but it looked like they were going to miss us, so I went ahead and changed into my running clothes and checked my gear bag. I wandered around for a bit and noted the long lines for the porta potties. No use even trying that, so I started looking for my corral. A few people I knew were there and we chatted for a minute before I moved off to look for other people I might know (no luck). Then they sang the national anthem and started the race 15 minutes early. Since I was in corral 23, it was still quite a while before I made it up to the start line, almost 30 minutes if I recall correctly.
The people I had been chatting with at the start were trying for a 2:30:00 finish time, so I hung with them for a little while and then dropped back and kept them in sight. Since I hadn't had a chance to warm up, I was a bit stiff for the first two miles and had some side stitch pain. The pain went away after a while though and the hills didn't seem to be bothering me too much, so I kept a pretty good pace through the first 6 miles. After that the weaving back and forth to avoid walkers and the hills started to take their toll.
At about mile 8 I took my first walking break. I knew that I didn't really have much left at that point, but I soldiered on. By mile 9 I was really feeling it and by the 15K marker all of my goals went out the window and my one goal was to just finish. At mile 10 people were handing out beer to the runners and just the thought of it made me want to throw up. I was doing quite a bit of walking at this point. At mile 11 they were handing out GU packets and I took one, but pocketed it instead of using it. I took a drink of Cytomax and poured a couple of cups of water over my head and started running again. Somewhere around mile 11.5 an old high school buddy saw me and shouted my name. Luckily I was running at this point and I got an extra burst of speed until about mile 12 where I walked some more. As I neared the finish, more people lined the roads and most were shouting, "This is the last hill, you're almost there." I still had a mile to go though. I walked a good portion of that last mile. I was completely out of energy at this point and even the walking was difficult. As I came around the next to last corner I decided to run it out as fast as I could (which was not very). I sucked it up and crossed the finish line in 2:45:50 which was only 50 seconds away from my goal time.
As I crossed the finish I slowed down to a small walk. I was taking the smallest steps I could and very nearly collapsed as my body rebelled against the pounding I had given it. A girl at the aid tent asked if I needed assistance and I said no. I took a bottle of water and poured it over my head as I wound my way through a maze of aid stations and swag tents. I took a bottle of Cytomax and sipped on it a few times. I really wanted to just get out of there! A group of people were handing out finisher medals and I took mine and put it around my neck. It was so heavy I nearly fell over forwards. Finally, after many twists and turns and pushing and shoving I came out of the finishing area and went in search of my gear bag. I was in a lot of pain at this point and was still just taking those baby steps.
I got my bag and went and sat on a planter for a minute or two while it started raining. I decided it was time to go and began the hardest part of the day yet, walking back to the car. I baby stepped it from the stadium, across the street, and into the parking lot where cars where already lined up trying to leave. The rain was really pouring down at this point and I must have been a pitiful sight. A woman in one of the cars applauded for me in a knowing kind of way and I gave her a painful smile. As I reached my car I nearly collapsed again, but caught myself on the car. I finally got the door open and fell into the car. I just laid there for a while with the door open until I could get enough energy to shut it, then I laid there some more just trying to get my bearings. I realized fairly quickly that I was going to have to wait a while to leave because my parking lot was closed due to the race still going on. I lay there in my seat listening to opera and the rain and dining on my GU packet and Cytomax. After two hours the lot finally opened and I was free to go.
If I had to do it over again, I would not have picked this half marathon to be my first. It was very hilly and very crowded. But when I started this whole adventure, I didn't know a thing about running or what races would be like. I don't regret doing it at all and I'm even happy with my results. This is the 3rd race I've done and the first I've actually missed my goal time. It leaves me wanting more and wanting to go back out there and do it again and push even harder next time. Next time I will do better!

I run 2 Saturday sessions each year in a wonderful venue in on the edge of north Leeds. Details of the next one is below:
Saturday 24th November 2018, 10.30 – 3.30pm
Register interest with Annika.
at Friends Meeting House, New Adel Lane, Leeds LS16 6A (just off the A660), Cost £13.
This is an opportunity to experience a longer spell of mindfulness for people who have completed the 8 week course or similar. Also a chance to reconnect with mindfulness if practice is lapsing. The focus is on deepening practice and bringing mindfulness into everyday life so we use the indoor and outdoor space to do a variety of practices and exercises. Some you will be familiar with, others will be new. You bring a sandwich lunch and tea/coffee and biscuits are provided.
I appreciate not all of you can be away for longer spell on a Saturday but you may consider coming for part of it if all is not possible. People who have complete a beginners mindfulness course sometimes worry that it will be too long a day but if someone is unsure and decides to try it just for a morning, they usually decide to stay all day once they are there and they get into it!
Comments from the last Saturday session:
'Really enjoyed the variety of the different practices including bringing mindfulness to every day experiences and mixing that with the more familiar practices'
'As facilitators you worked really well together – a relaxed seamless approach/programme.'
'The venue was very good too – warm and light. Outside space great'
Please contact Annika at firstname.lastname@example.com for further details or to book your place.

Jul 26, 2018Tempest 4000 is a fantastic version of a true classic. However, no matter how stunning it looks, or simple it plays it's definitely not for every gamer out there. Those looking for a legitimate challenge will find it here. Those looking for a deep story or engaging quest will not find anything like that. It's a simple shooter designed after the tried and true classic Arcade gameplay. Being the Classic Gaming fan that I am, I had an absolute blast playing this, but it might be hard to persuade other gamers to take a look.
Official Xbox Magazine UKSep 12, 2018A stonking update for a forgotten classic, complete with all new bells and [rave] whistles. [October 2018, p.88]
Jul 17, 2018The visuals remain entrancing, the music is as powerful today as when it was released, and the task of clearing baddies from webs continues to be challenging. If you can look past the roughest levels, you'll find this to be a fun and highly memorable game. Here's hoping Llamasoft gives it a little post-release polish so it can become a modern classic, just like Tempest 2000.
Jul 22, 2018In all Tempest 4000 is really a love letter to the original game. It sticks very close to it's source material, but despite this a few things have been added. If I'm honest though, most of these miss the mark.
Aug 1, 2018Tempest 4000 is another Tempest game. If you are OK with that and perhaps need an excuse to retire the Vita version, then this package will be worth it. Otherwise this game feels like a relic that didn't really need the 4K upgrade.
Aug 2, 2018Overall I was disappointed in Tempest 4000. I enjoy playing Tempest games, but this one managed to make the core game less enjoyable rather than improving on it or providing a truly fresh take on the gameplay. Arcade game fans will be best off saving their quarters for the next version of Tempest that comes along.
Jul 19, 2018Tempest 4000's price-tag is wildly unforgivable when you factor in the meager content that you're getting in return. This is greed at its absolute finest and despite the series' fame for being colorful and fast-paced, which indeed the game is, there's just not enough content within to justify its cost. Easy to get into and nostalgic Tempest 4000 may be, but it ultimately becomes bland and uninteresting quite quickly.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 1
Mixed: 0 out of 1
Negative: 0 out of 1
Jul 19, 2018Not many people haven't experienced Tempest in some shape or form and that shows to me just how prominent Tempest has been in regards to theNot many people haven't experienced Tempest in some shape or form and that shows to me just how prominent Tempest has been in regards to the gaming industry. Year's ago they took a simple idea and turned it into a very fun and addictive experience to be played by all and every now and then they release a new shiny version for you to get to grips with. The new version of the game is called Tempest 4000 and even though it has a few shortcomings to say once again I enjoyed my time with a new version of Tempest would be quite the understatement. Once again the gameplay is simple but very addictive and this easy to pick up and play style means gamers of all skill levels and ages can join in the fun, which is great. In terms of content the game will keep you satisfied for quite a while, but I would recommend that you wait till it drops in price a little because at the moment in my opinion it's a little bit too expensive. Another reason why I would recommend for you to wait till it lowers in price is because there isn't really anything new that veterans of the series won't have seen before. That being said the content that is here has been done to perfection and it will provide you with plenty of enjoyable moments. You'll pleased to know then that technically Tempest 4000 doesn't suffer with any problems at all. The controls remain tight and responsive throughout your time with the game and everything else also plays out the same way which limits frustration quite a lot. This is a very good thing because the game does get very difficult quite quickly, but even though the game can be overly difficult at times I still didn't find myself getting frustrated that much. Instead I found myself returning to the game time and time again and the addictive nature of the game is clear to see from the get go. Defeating enemies never seems to get dull and when you defeat a number of different enemies at the same time you always end up getting a very satisfying feeling. Without a doubt the most noticeable improvement over the original game's is the presentation side of things. Tempest has never looked and sounded better and in a way the improved visuals and sound design do make the gameplay even more fun and immersive. At the end of the day if you're a fan of the Tempest series then you will thoroughly enjoy what Tempest 4000 has to offer. It may not get everything right but what it does do is provide you with a fun and very addictive experience that never seems to dwindle throughout your time with the game.… Expand

I began watching the inauguration rather late the ceremony, tuning in at the tail end of Warren's purpose-driven invocation. Soon I was ruing my lack of foresight as entries for a liveblog popped into my mind. To wit:
- The relief on Biden's face when he got out the more complicated lines of his oath.
- Chief Justice Robert's subtle sabotage.
- The odd American practice of simultaneously noting our wonderful peaceful transition of power and marking the occasion with cannon fire.
- Obama's generous use of metaphor (e.g. the still waters of peace, the bitter swill of segregation, the specter of a warming planet), some of which he mixed well before cooking.
- And much much more!
In all seriousness, however, what I saw of the inauguration deserved no better than a middling grade in terms of performance and production. Indeed, some of it, namely the poem and benediction, were embarrassingly bad. On the other hand, John Williams' arrangement of Aaron Copland titled "Air & Simple Gifts" was quite good, but then again I'm a sucker for melody and the cello.
