FPMT News Around the World
Do Ngak Sung Juk Centre in Tokyo wrote to Mandala about their second group nyung nä, held in September 2012. "Our group of 11 multilingual participants completed the nyung nä in four languages (Japanese, English, Tibetan and Chinese) while under the superb leadership of Ven. Dechen from Taiwan. We practiced in a very conducive environment at Mt. Mitake, a hill within a vast national park with a mountain shrine that has existed for almost 2,000 years. Under Ven. Dechen's guidance, we transformed a traditional Japanese inn's tatami room that usually caters to pilgrims and visitors into a beautiful gompa. For seven members, it was their first nyung nä, but won't be their last," wrote Doc O'Connor, Do Ngak Sung Juk's director.
"I was nervous at first but due to being in a group of determined people and a leader who carefully looked after each one of us, I completed and want to do again," one participant shared. "The location was a power spot – excellent environment!" said another.
"Do Ngak Sung Juk is forever grateful to Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche for creating and nurturing this wonderful organization," O'Connor wrote. "As a smaller sized center, we feel so much support from International Office and other centers. We're very appreciative of everyone's help."
Mandala is also appreciative of all the help we receive from FPMT centers around the world, who, like Do Ngak Sung Juk, so kindly allow us to share their news.
With more than 160 centers, projects and services around the globe, there is always news on FPMT activities, teachers and events. Mandala hopes to share as many of these timely stories as possible. If you have news you would like to share, please let us know.

Exploring Maribojoc, Bohol, Philippines
Exploring Maribojoc, Bohol, Philippines
By Mia Malanyaon
There are times when the city life gets so jammed that we just want to get away from it all. Even Tagbilaran City nowadays is overwhelmed with a lot of people and some of the beautiful places in Bohol seems to be overcrowded with visitors and tourists as well.
Then, there are times when you just want to escape. Escape from the mundane, the city noise and the stress that goes along with it.
A recent Make My Trip destination shoot in the town of Maribojoc gave me the answer to the escape I was looking for. Not only I felt peace and tranquility, but the voyage made me feel like an explorer discovering paradise, an explorer finding a land full of promises and hidden surprises, an explorer trying to cross a path yet to be explored.
I've been to Maribojoc a couple of times before. The thirty minute ride to the town has always been a fascination. Seeing the ragged and jagged mountain ranges and the thick rows of Nipa palm which serves as an indication that behold, you have just entered the town! This peaceful town is also known for its cultural heritage sights like the Punta Cruz Watchtower built in 1976, the wooden cross planted by the Italian navigator Pigafetta, and the Maribojoc Church (Diocesan Shrine of St. Vincent Ferrer).
Now, where is the sense of being an explorer here if all I've mentioned are the places which made Maribojoc popular and visited? What I have discovered is more than that!
My adventure started as me together with the crew of Make My Trip was welcomed by the Maribojoc municipal tourism officer Mary Ann Jabines. She introduced the town and the activities we were bound to do and the highlight was to cruise the Abatan River on a bamboo raft. Together with the passionate Mr. Cooper Resabal who became our guide all throughout the cruise, and a bunch of enthusiastic kayakers headed by Gil Oceña of Bohol Extreme Sports.
Coming from the highlands of Atequera and Catigbian, the Abatan River flows through Balilihan and serves as the boundary separating the town of Cortes and Maribojoc before ending up its stretch in Maribojoc Bay. As we cruised along, the view was simply breathtaking. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was exactly like the clips in National Geographic and Hollywood films on the Amazon River.
The river has a peaceful attitude. The slow raft cruise slowly unravels the wonders of everything around us, filming in the camera is not enough to capture the beauty of the place; you just simply have to be there to appreciate its beauty. The place was literally green all over; from the emerald green waters of the river, the green leaves and vines crawling to the trees. As we slowly entered deeper to the Postan Mangrove forest, Mr. Resabal told us to say " tabi apo" or excuse me in any language we are comfortable with as we are about to enter into another realm. A realm where spirits reside, and what the people believed to be the keepers of the place. We are entering a sanctuary, he said. We tried hard not to make noise, and the silence made us feel the environment and every living thing surrounding us. We heard birds chirping, smelled the fresh air, and the cold breeze was like a lullaby hushing us to commune with nature and just be at peace. It was nature at its pristine.
The voyage helped us discover century old mangrove trees and nipa forests. Surely the sanctuary is one of the biggest mangrove areas in the country which cradles bountiful resources. I came unto a deeper appreciation of the cycle of life, that nature has its own way of preserving and it all happens in this unique mangrove ecosystem. This cycle should not be disrupted as its serves as habitat to species like fishes, crabs and clams which in turn gathered by the locals for food consumption. It is the circle of life, and we are all connected.
Truly the town is gifted with a river full of surprises. The best way to appreciate the bends and the curves of the river is to use a kayak, and our crew exactly did that. We were unmindful of the heat of the sun as we felt there are a lot of things to be explored in the river.
The trip to Abatan River was a conquest indeed, and Make My Trip was there.

Evolution of the Jet Ski
Recently pre-launched at the Monoco boat show, the Wesp is unlike any jet ski you've seen before. Inspired by Formula 1 racing, the craft is characterized by an unorthodox yet functional shape that allows it to cruise gently across the waves or switch into high speed racing mode. In an exhilerating twst, direction is controlled using a body motion steering system where the driver swivels from left to right, similiar to how a motorcyclist flicks from side to side to initiate a turn.

The moment you become a fish on a hook.After that, the book sort of owns you. You're doing laundry and thinking about your book. You're cooking dinner and thinking about your book. You're working (or trying to work) and wishing you could rendezvous with your book. I call that moment the point of no return.

Yackety-yak: Point of No Return
48 comments :
Good one Juju, for me it is the ones that I try to go sleep but can't and wake up to say 1 more chapter even when it is unreasonable times, for me that means after 1pm when I have work in the morning ;-)ReplyDelete
I can't think of the book that did this to me, it was in Dec I think, let me have a look.
The Hunger Games! I just finished it but while I was reading it I would spend all of my spare time reading it. I would even get annoyed when people would come into my room to talk to me because all I could think about was that they were cutting into my reading time :PReplyDelete
Hmm...it's been awhile since that's happened to me. I'd probably say that the last book that had me completely hooked was Perchance to Dream by Lisa Mantchev, and that was last summer!ReplyDelete
It's been a while since I've been hooked... the one book that I always think back on is Maria V. Synder's Poison Study. I was really impressed with the story and I loved Yelena as the MC and...there was Valek to love. *swoon*ReplyDelete
I love when that happens....I'd say it was Mockingjay....I was reading that book even at work! ha!ReplyDelete
books that hooked me for days after the last page: anna and the french kiss, the duff, ice (sarah beth durst), jelicoe road, sisters red, and many more.ReplyDelete
I love when this happens. As a matter of fact, I was just thinking about when my current read is going to hook me. Soon I hope.ReplyDelete
Hm, I call it "the all-nighter" ;) Let's see now, recently hooked on Courtney Milan's Unveiled, Eilis O'Neal's The False Princess, Sharon Shinn's Troubled Waters, Rachel Aaron's The Spirit Thief.ReplyDelete
I love books that hook me. The last one that grabbed me was Still Missing by Chevy Stevens. I still think about it.ReplyDelete
This happens to me so often! I can't count how many times I've stayed up until the wee hours of the morning because I just can't put a book down. The last one that did this to me was Anna and the French Kiss--I blew off my friends on a Saturday night to stay in and read!ReplyDelete
Ohh, point of no return! And I love your illustration, Juju! Lol. I guess my point of no return is where I actually become invested in the characters - where I go from just kinda being curious about where the story's going to genuinely caring about the character(s) and what happens to them. A lot of times, though, I get finished with a book without ever having that "point of no return" moment!ReplyDelete
Happens to me often too! It's a wonderful feeling isn't it?ReplyDelete
This is a tough one...it happens a lot, but the last book that really "hooked" me was Wither by Lauren DeStefano. I just couldn't stop thinking about that book, I still think about it and I read it back before Christmas. So good.ReplyDelete
As for the word...I'd say I'm "stuck" in a book, but that's because I've spent so much time conversing with my English co-contributors at Chick Lit Reviews I think.
Also, it always reminds me of Catherine Ryan Hyde's writing workshop and what she calls the hook is "the point of engagement." The point of no return when a reader is so connected to the story that there's no turning back. I loved hearing her talk about it!
Great post!
Maybe it was "The Help" or "The Art of Racing in the Rain". Both were excellent. The things I learned from each one were completely different though.ReplyDelete
Oh I"m with you on this one Juju. For the most part, many of the books I read have a hooking point...something making it almost a physial need to finish the book, or at least another chapter. Most recent...hmm...WERELING: DARK MOON...going back a bit, DASH & LILLY'S BOOK OF DARES. They don't have to be action packed to keeping pulling you back.... great post! Happy reading!ReplyDelete
bahahaha that picture! I think the last book that really hooked me and wouldn't let me go was Dark Song by Gail Giles. It was so incredibly powerful.ReplyDelete
Over this weekend I read Jodi Picoults new one coming out in March called Sing you Home...It made me SO MAD...I was thinking about it all day/night. Thinking about all my responses...writing my review a hundred times in my head....Arghh, I have so much to say it would be like 3 pages long of post space.ReplyDelete
Tina: Oooo it haunted you all weekend :) Awesome!ReplyDelete
Melissa: *smile* I haven't heard of that one :)
GMR: What a good point. They don't have to be action-packed at all. Just something in the story has to bite me :) Great point!
Gina Precious: I am so curious about the Act of Racing in the Rain :)
1stdaughter: Oooo I want to read that one. "Stuck" = I like that! The "point of engagement" = exactly! I love it. I had no idea it was discussed in workshops :)
PlayingLibrarian: The best :)
Amelia: Ah yes. By far my favorite part is almost always the characters :) Sometimes well after I've finished a story, I'm still pondering how the character's life may have gone from there. Sometimes I finish their lives in my head. Great point!
Meredith: O Anna and the French Kiss....I need to go there. I need to see Paris with Anna. :) You blew off your friends? Impressive! ;) *high five*
Melissa: I can't say I've heard of that one :)
EpicNight: I like that! Plus I totally need Troubled Waters! :) In fact, I need more Sharon Shinn books in general.
Elie: *fingers crossed*
Chelley: I was just telling Meredith, I need to visit Paris with Anna. :)
Christina: O Mockingjay. I bought it when it first came out and I still can't bear to read it. I'm afraid of leaving Katniss, Gale, and Peeta. ;)
Sandy: I SO need to read that. And you know I'm a sucker for a good swoony boy ;)
Natalie: Oo I should try that too :)
Ariel: O the HG series! I love those books. But like I was just telling Christina, I'm hesitant to read Mockingjay because I don't want to leave Katniss, Gale, and Peeta. ;)
Marce: Thanks :) Sleep robbers! My favs! I remember for the Twilight series I called into work. A similar experience happened to me the with Uglies series :)
Oh, it was definitely Crossing Oceans. I just couldn't stop!ReplyDelete
Laundry & Food - be gone! I was into it!
Gina Hott: *smile* O it's serious when I forgo food! I know that feeling.ReplyDelete
I love your image and from now on when I'm hooked that picture will pop into my mind :) Right now I'm reading Tiger Rising and it has me hooked. I can't wait to get back to it. But alas life gets in the way :/ReplyDelete
The most recent book that hooked me in was The Iron Witch, but it's still The Hunger Games that reeled me in, spat me out and left me hung out to dry! Even months after reading this book i still think about it a lot.ReplyDelete
Kaye: Thanks :) And you're so right, it's so annoying when responsibilities get in the way. I am definitely looking forward to your review :)ReplyDelete
SlowestBookworm: I know that feeling. LOVE HG! I was telling Christina and Ariel, I devoured books 1 and 2 but I'm hesitant to read Mockingjay because I don't want to leave Katniss, Gale, and Peeta ;)
Great topic! I call it the same thing and the last books that did this to me were....ReplyDelete
The Dark Divine & The Hunger Games Trilogy
Jamie: Thanks doll :) O the Dark Divine. I love that book! I can't wait to read the Lost Saint. Have you tried it yet? :)ReplyDelete
HA! Love that graphic! I get hooked a lot as well, I get sucked right into the books I'm reading and find myself thinking about them all the time. The most memorable one of late for me would be Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning, I'd been waiting 17 months for it to release and it hasn't stopped haunting me!ReplyDelete
When I get hooked, I don't want to reach the end of the book..., and read slowly!ReplyDelete
Glimmerglass by Jenna Black & Lifted by Wendy Toliver!! For sure!ReplyDelete
Across the Universe which I just finished. I just started reading the book and not even one chapter in and it has me crying already.ReplyDelete
It's when I forget I'm reading and think I'm "in" the story. Personal Demons and Nightshade had me pretty quick. I love your picture for this post!ReplyDelete
Last book for me would be Bleeding Violet. So different yet so goodReplyDelete
For me it was Room by Emma Donoghue, I could not stop readingReplyDelete
I finished Rampant by Diana Peterfreund 4 days ago and am still thinking about killer unicorns. They fascinate me more than I thought they would. Peterfreund unicorn mythology has hooked me and I can't wait to read more about it!ReplyDelete
Jenny: Thanks :) O I was just hinking about that book. It's part of a series right? Do I need to read the others first?ReplyDelete
Maya: O good for you! I wish I had that restraint. :)
Nina: Noted :) I think I have that one waiting for me :)
Jenny N.: Crying? Really? Please please tell me which part. (I loved it too)
Alyssa: I love it. Good point! When you forget you're reading. I love that :)
Andrea & Blod: Really? I think I need to look that one up :)
Alita: Your thing with unicorns is like my thing for mermen and mermaids. I'm obsessed with sea creatures :)
*giggles* Where did you get that picture of me? *blushes*ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm so in love with Melina Marchetta right now. I've been thinking of her stories for weeks. I didn't want them to end.
Missie: LOL :) Surfing the net. Do you think it's too scandalous? Regarding Melina: Interesting. I need to check her out :)ReplyDelete
The last novel to really hook me and refuse to let go was probably The Love Goddess' Cooking School by Melissa Senate, though I have to say that I'm really loving Melissa Ford's Life From Scratch right now! Totally hooked!ReplyDelete
Meg: O Melissa Senate. I liked the Secret of Joy. Maybe I should try that one ;)ReplyDelete
I love it when you look forward to sitting back down to read a book. Or even getting some things done first so you can reward yourself with some reading time. My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier was like this. I was hooked from the first page and had no idea what was going to happen. And then I thought, "No, Phillip, no."ReplyDelete
Kim: Ooooo now I'm wondering what Philip did. I love when I find my self taking to characters! Thanks :) I'm off to look it up ;)ReplyDelete
Unearthly was the last book to really "hook" me. I've read good books since then, but none can compare to how that one made me feel.ReplyDelete
Christie: O that one got me too! :)ReplyDelete
The Fever series by Karen Marie Moning has me hooked right now. I too, needed a break from YA and it's good me good. I can't stop thinking about those books!ReplyDelete
Kelli: I've been thinking about those. They look so good!ReplyDelete
LOL - love the pic for this postReplyDelete
i'd have to say characters are hooks for me. if i really like a particular character in a book i'll read it and all books in its series - like the outlander series by diana gabaldon.
VV: Thanks :) O I am a serious character girl too. Both in books and in movies.ReplyDelete
That "point of no return" as you call it is what I look for in a book... sometimes I find it, sometimes I don't...ReplyDelete
Cherry: I know what you mean :)ReplyDelete

Best of DIYs | Leather Passport. Continuing with our summer series of Best of DIYs we bring you this pretty fab project by Alicia Jepsen of Jepsen LeatherGoods.
Back in 2011 Alicia shared how to make this leather passport holder with us, and we're happy to dig it out of the archives - perfect for a summer DIY we think! Check it out below! Guest DIY post by Jepsen LeatherGoods How to Make Your Own Leather Passport Holder by Jepsen LeatherGoods What You Need: Schmuck-schule - Sie können es selber machen. Lucky Wishing Stars Tutorial. You've probably seen these little puffy origami stars before.
They are really quick to make, and you don't need any special materials to make them. You can buy lucky star pre-cut strips from origami stores, but you can just as easily make your own from medium weight coloured paper, e.g. scrapbooking paper, or even strips cut from magazine pages – as the strips are so narrow, the original text or image won't be obvious in the finished star. Anti-clockwise from top left: pre-cut strips, paper cutter, scrapbook paper, magazine page. Now on to the tutorial! Christmas tree ornament mobile. This year we decided to do something a little different with our tree and I created this Christmas tree mobile consisting of ornaments suspended on clear threads.
When I was shopping for ornaments to use found a lot on sale and went a little crazy. I decided it would be worth it to see how three different options would look. Hot Cocoa Kit. HOW-TO MAKE A HOT COCOA KITby Destri of The Mother Huddle There just isn't much that a three year old can create that isn't something only a mother would love.
I thought and thought about what my little boy could make his friends for Christmas and finally came up with a Hot Cocoa Kit. Over the course of a week we worked on little projects to add to the kit, and I can't tell you how much fun we had with it. He got to mash things, melt things, sprinkle things, dip things, fill things....all sorts of sensory play. Photo Sun Catcher.

COAT one side of acrylic panel with spray glue. REMOVE paper backing from decal following package instructions. Position on acrylic panel and smooth down with fingertips. DIY. Guest post by Heather Grace Green of Garland of Grace I had this idea for a while and finally decided to do it.
It's super easy (because that's what I'm about) and spices up a boring mug with some simplistic, classy, fun style (because that's also what I'm about). DIY Braided Bead Bracelet. It's been awhile since our last bracelet DIY.
I don't know about you, but our wrists have been begging for another colorful addition for months now. So after playing with some materials that were already on hand, we've created a tutorial for a braided bead bracelet, which is a not so distant cousin of the hex nut and wrap bracelet. Because honestly, you can never have too many . . . You'll need: Cut the waxed linen cord into a 26″ and 19″ piece.

How do you give a guy a boner (or turn him on )?
Well I'm going to this pool party and I really wanna turn this guy on or give him a boner just to show him how sexy I can be. What things can I do to turn him on without doing it with him? I think he does like me though and I like him. So ...Guys: what gives you a boner or turns you on?Girls: What have you done to make him turned on?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
If people are dancing just dance and grind on him. If you are in the pool together, turn your back to him and get your body real close to his and put his arms around you. And yea like Amber said, just kiss him and he will probably get hard.
thanks :) x
What Guys Said 1
When you give him a hug and when your right next to him, simply just rub your fingers up and down his spine. Also try just blowing into his ear seductively
Don't forget to rub jelly over your head too!
thanks :) x
What Girls Said 1
the first itme I gave my boyfriend a boner I just sat ontop of him and tickled him hahaso innocent yet he got all horny :Dmakeout with him.. my man would always get boners just from sum tongue action lolz he still does sometimesjust grab his packageflash himnip his neck

Episode #30
Lewis Lapham
Monday, December 10, 2012
This week Alec talks with Lewis Lapham, who's been refining his prose for over 50 years. Lapham says he still has to write "three or four or five, sometimes eight drafts of something," but takes pleasure in "getting it right." Today, he's at the helm of Lapham's Quarterly. He was at Harper's for many years – and he started out at The San Francisco Examiner before stints at The Saturday Evening Post and Life.
To talk with Lewis Lapham, you're struck with the sensation that you've stumbled onto the set of a 1940's film noir movie. He wears pressed suits and pocket squares -- and his stories evoke another era. He tells Alec about being a rookie reporter at The Examiner and what it was like to go on a meditation retreat with the Beatles in India.

Great show. Baldwin is the best interviewer ever. Everything about the interviewing is better than I've ever heard.
Thanks for the entertaining and informative podcast.
Now, of course, I want to know more about this "Minksy" person.
Your show blurb says, "This week Alec talks with Lewis Lapham, whose been refining his prose for over 50 years. Lapham says he still has to write "three or four or five, sometimes eight drafts of something," but takes pleasure in "getting it right." Whose? Really? It should be who's or, more properly, who has. Mr Lapham, a wordsmith of significant note, would be furious!
Very interesting interview Alec. Found this timely quote (among a few books of his now on my list) by Mr. Lapham : "Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what's good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country. As a journalist he didn't have to sell out, very admirable. Please have him on the program again, would love to hear his perspective / views on the world banking infrastructure.
Thank you for a very interesting interview with Mr. Lewis Lapham. Nice listening to all he had to say about the 60's and the Beatles. Very enjoyable.
Alec great show,Good,insights,from your point of view,being in "the bussiness"Looking fwd,to more shows,in the new year!Stay well.Happy Holidays,to you an your,newlywed,wife.Peace KJ [\]

Schools Catering
Capsicum Contract Catering now provides the catering in eight schools and colleges and two nurseries in the Island. In delivering our service we are guided by principles of ensuring children and students receive a balanced, healthy diet. We work alongside the States of Jersey in delivering the three-year 'Healthy Eating for Schools' campaign
We are also fully committed to supplying sustainable food to our schools and nurseries and are passionate about ensuring we and our suppliers adhere to best practice in all links in the food chain, from sourcing to preparation to serving. By sourcing locally wherever possible to limit the food miles incurred, the distance food travels from sea or field to plate is kept to a minimum. Some of the best natural products and foods are readily available on Jersey's doorstep and we are proud to advertise this to the Children, Students and Teachers we serve.
We also are working in partnership with local suppliers to provide great food produced in Jersey where ever possible.
Wise Pay
Credits made online will appear immediately on your WisePay account. However the credit will not appear on your child's Smart Card, nor will your child's purchases appear on your WisePay account for up to 17 hours following the transaction or if the transaction is after 3.pm. on Friday, until the following Monday at 8 a.m. This reason for the delay is because the school tills are synchronised with information from the WisePay system twice daily (except weekends) at around 8.am. and 3 p.m
Please click on the relevant link below to access the WisePay payment link for your child's school. Please ensure you have your child's smart card number available (not applicable for VCP) as it is required to register and allocate payments.

|FCJ Primary
|Haute Vallée
|Les Quennevais
|Victoria College
|Victoria College Prep

Jersey Pottery have installed the new till and payment system called 'Smart Card' in the catering facilities at the above schools.
The card works as a credit facility and enables your child to purchase, amongst many other items, hot meals, sandwiches, salad/pasta pots, fruit pots, home made soups, snacks and drinks that are available in the restaurants and bistros without having to take cash into school. The cards are 'topped up' using a secure online payment system called 'Wise Pay'.
You will also be able to view daily, the card's purchases each time you log onto your account. The card allows you the peace of mind that your child is not carrying cash all day and that they are using the school restaurant for approved food and drinks within the Jersey school food standards.

Our Standards and Objectives
Healthy Eating Guidelines
Our partnership with the States of Jersey Education and Health Departments is for a three year journey to bring healthier school meals to selected States secondary school pupils in Jersey.
The new standards for school food which have been introduced by the State's Education Department include replacing deep fried foods, sweets and crisps with healthier options.
Jersey's Education Director has said there were links between diet, learning and behaviour and sensible choices about food was a part of equation.
He said eating healthier school dinners would give children in Jersey the best chance to fulfil their potential.
The Jersey School Food Standards will ensure the quality of food served in States island schools reflects the principle of a healthy, balanced diet and will be phased in over a three-year period in consultation with students.
Medical Officer of Health, Dr Rosemary Geller said: "Providing healthy food in schools is vital if we are to be anIisland that prioritises our children's health.
"Giving students the opportunity to choose freshly prepared, nutritious and balanced school meals will hopefully foster an enjoyment of healthy food that will encourage young people to continue to eat in the same way throughout their lives."
Our company guaranteed standards promise:-
- Follow all guidelines set out in the Jersey School Food Standards
- Reducing the amounts of sugar, salt and fat in our dishes
- Make food tasty and fun
- Involve the children and schools in the teaching and understanding of seasonal food produce
- Menu planning to ensure that healthy choices are always available for children
- Enhance children/parent communication and information to allow them to easily make their healthy choices

Planet Earth Evolution Insulated Pant - Women's
Weird fit
The good: I got these in crabgrass green, but after I ordered them I started having second thoughts about how green these would be. When I got them though, I loved the color. Definitely green but warmer and a tad darker than the picture shows. Also, the material is very soft and seemingly good quality.
The bad: Terrible cut. The waist and butt fit me fine but they're like balloon pants from the knee down. HUGE flare and very long (I'm 5'3 and they went past my feet a good 5 or 6 inches). Also, the pockets have zippers which I was surprised and happy about. Then when I put them on I realized that the placement of the zippers made them hard to open and close. I only had to try them on once before I knew I was sending them back.
Final thought: Good color, but doesn't make up for the pant style. Better used for a 70s dance movie than the mountain.

A year of many firsts for Rui En in 2014
Text: Joanna Goh
Photos: Dang Hui Ling
Videos: Fiona Lin
For someone who has had a lot of experience playing onscreen characters associated with upholding law and order in society (a reporter in Poetic Justice, a lawyer in Sudden and a police officer in C.L.I.F. 2 and 3), Rui En's upcoming role as a genteel psychiatrist in Against the Tide will be a completely "fresh change."
Save for her character's gorgeous spring-hued pastel wardrobe palette, this role would be a drama of "many firsts" for the actress. Instead of chasing bad crooks, she'd be doing a bit of hypnotism in Against the Tide as Xueqing, a psychiatrist who is "very sensitive to people's emotions." In her words, she will finally have a break from chasing criminals, interrogating suspects, and slapping on copious amounts of mosquito repellent for police stakeouts at deserted forests.
"Finally!" Rui En rejoiced gleefully, at the drama's imaging session yesterday. "Someone else [Desmond Tan] will be doing it in this show! I'm so used to doing that – having just finished filming C.L.I.F. 3 [last week], and I feel relieved," she grinned.
Another significant "first" for Rui En in 2014, apart from being L'Oreal's new spokesperson for their makeup range, would be working with Christopher Lee in this upcoming Ch8 drama series.
Coincidentally, both actors brought home Best Actor and Actress awards at last year's Star Awards ceremony, and Chris is one of the few (and probably, only) veteran actor that Rui En has yet to partner in all her 12 years of acting – making it a collaboration worth keeping an eye out for.
"The circle is quite small and after a while, you'd have worked with everybody. But he's one of the few that I've never worked with before," said Rui En.
Rui En also talks to us about her other noteworthy collaborations (i.e., her pairings with other actors nominated for Favourite Onscreen Couple award) and lets us in on her personal favourite pairing among the trio.

I don't want to write this post. I don't want to write about losing Whitney Houston. I've written recent RIP tribute posts for Etta James and Don Cornelius, but this loss cuts deeper. It's too sad.

The Mighty Pucklings is a youth street hockey initiative aimed at promoting education, sportsmanship, and fitness through participation in hockey.
Mighty Ducks players Matt Cullen and Mike Crowley hosted a street hockey clinic at the Boys and Girls Club of Laguna Beach.
The clinic consisted of three sessions going over passing, shooting and puck handling skills. The kids were treated to an impromptu autograph session with Cullen and Crowley signing everything from hockey pucks to T-shirts to Mighty Ducks media guides.
Both Cullen and Crowley enjoy the opportunity to interact with kids and teach them about the sport of hockey. Most important of course is that everyone has fun and learn to enjoy the sport.
"Doing these clinics is good for both street and ice hockey. The whole idea is to get kids involved in the sport," stated Cullen.
For more information on the Mighty Pucklings Program please call (714) 940-2967.

DARLINGTON, SC (WMBF) - An operation by the Darlington County Combined Drug Unit has landed six suspects in jail.
The Combined Drug Unit raided a home on Terrell Street in Darlington Wednesday to find 450 illegal prescription pills.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Andy Locklair says they arrested 53-year-old Grover Cleveland Odom and charged him with four counts of distribution of schedule III control substance, four counts of distribution of schedule III control substance within the proximity of a school, distribution of schedule IV control substance, distribution of schedule IV control substance within the proximity of a school, possession of anabolic steroids, trafficking schedule IV control substance, PWID Schedule III substance, PWID Schedule III substance within the proximity of a school, PWID Schedule II, PWID Schedule II substance within the proximity of a school, possession of a fire arm by a convicted felon, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a violate crime, and possession of stolen goods.
While officers were searching the home, undercover agents were conducting 'reverse buys,' leading to the arrests of five more suspects that are all charged with attempt to purchase schedule III control substance. Those suspects are:
Officers also seized $700 and stolen items that will lead to solving at least one burglary so far. The case is still under investigation, and more arrests are expected, Capt. Locklair says.
"This was one of the biggest Pill busts we have ever had in Darlington County. This guy was a major dealer," said Sheriff Wayne Byrd.

This weekend was supposed to be a busy one for Travis Pastrana. In what had been dubbed "Pastranathon," the Moto X / RallyCross driver / NASCAR rookie was set to compete in X Games 17 Thursday and Friday, fly to Indianapolis on Saturday for his NASCAR Nationwide debut, then be back in Los Angeles on Sunday to compete in RallyCross for Subaru. Instead, Pastrana will be sitting this weekend out with a broken right foot and ankle.
According to ESPN, the injury occurred last night when Pastrana failed in an attempt to perform a "Corked 720" in the Moto X "Best Trick" competition. His bike landed on top of his right leg after he under-rotated through the spin, leaving him to be carried off the dirt on a stretcher. Pastrana was sent to the hospital for X-rays and released later that night, although he will need to have surgery on his foot, ankle and hand at a later date.
You can watch a video of Pastrana's unsuccessful "Moto X Best Trick" attempt after the jump.

Suspicious Envelope Found In Speaker Harwell's Office Deemed Non-Hazardous
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Hazardous materials crews were called to Legislative Plaza after an envelope containing a suspicious substance was opened by a staffer in House Speaker Beth Harwell's office. The substance was deemed to be non-hazardous.
Officials said the letter was opened around 9:45 a.m. Thursday by a staffer who found the questionable substance and immediately contact authorities.
Sergeant Bill Miller with the Tennessee Highway Patrol said a command post was set up by 9:47 a.m. to secure the area near the office as a precaution. Crews from the THP, TEMA, Nashville Fire Department and Metro Nashville Police Department were all called to the scene.
Roads around Legislative Plaza were closed as a result of all the emergency vehicles.
At a press conference held around 11:15 a.m., Miller said they had not yet identified the substance. Several hours later, Miller confirmed the substance was non-toxic and not considered to be a threat.
The name of the staffer was not released.
Miller said the building was not evacuated because the substance was contained to Speaker Harwell's office. He said there were no known threats against the Speaker.
The director of administration for the Tennessee General Assembly, Connie Ridley, said there were five employees who were getting checked out, including the person who opened the letter, one other person who was in the office and two others in mail services who may have been exposed to the substance.
No one was injured.
People who work near Harwell's office have been asked to stay in their own offices while troopers investigate.
"We notified our staff by email that we did have a suspicious package in the house speaker's office. We've asked them to avoid the area. The area has been cordoned off. We've asked them to remain in their offices until they receive further information," said Ridley.
The mail room has been secured and was expected to be examined for evidence. The incident remained under investigation.

CHARLOTTE – Even when pressed, the party faithful have almost no criticisms of Barack Obama's first term. They also don't have very many demands on his second term.
I interviewed a couple dozen Democratic delegates from around the country, and the harshest substantive criticism came from South Carolina delegate Vic Rawl who called Obama "maybe a little bit neocon" on foreign policy, drone use, and keeping open Guantanamo Bay.
"The only criticism I can come up with is of the other side," Michigan delegate Dorothy Johnson told me. "I can't criticize him."
That was the norm: when I asked delegates for criticism, they either had none, or, like Vernon Sykes of Ohio said, "he tried to work with them too much," meaning Republicans in Congress.
"Obstruction" was one of the words the delegates uttered most often, saying Obama did everything he could, given Republican intransigence. "He gets his hand slapped," when he reaches across the aisle said Eddie McDonald, Michigan delegate.
There was also very little in the way of a second-term agenda from the delegates. A couple said expansion of Obamacare to include a public option or even move to single-payer.
"I'm just hoping that he'll have a congress that's less obstructionist," Shannon Schroeder, Minnesota delegate told me.
All Wanda Williams, New York delegate, wants from Obama is to "keep doing what he's doing," and that was the standard reaction, sometimes with variation.
"He's accomplished so much in the first term, I just want him to keep on doing what he's doing," said Gloria McGee.
"Continue on the path we're going," Sykes said. "Continue his excellent record," said Greg Rabb of western New York.
Rawl said "stay the course."

Deepak Chopra MD
Deepak Chopra MD Author, Founder of The Chopra Foundation, Senior Scientist, The Gallup Organization
I started by looking at the relationship between mind and body, but then I realized that the mind is complicated. How do you even define the mind? The best definition of mind that I've heard comes from a UCLA psychotherapist, Daniel Siegel, who says it's a process, and it's a relational and embodied process that regulates the flow of energy and information in our bodies. Now that's a mouthful, but actually when you begin to understand it, you do recognize that it's meaning, more than anything else.
If I say to somebody, you know, "The stock market collapsed, all your retirement money's gone," they have a biological response, right? Their adrenalin goes up, their cortisol goes up, their immune system shuts down for a while, their platelets go sticky. Now all I've done is speak a sentence that caused a vibration of the tympanic membrane. I could produce the same vibration on a graph with bird song or with music or with "I love you," OK? And the message that goes through the nervous system would be an electrical impulse and some neural chemistry in the brain. There is absolutely no explanation for how meaning is processed in the brain, because the level of energy, it's the same electrical impulse. It's the same mechanical vibration here. It's the same neurochemistry there. Where does meaning come from?
In science, we call this the hard question. We have no idea about subjective experience, intuition, insight, imagination, creativity, choice making, free will -- there's no mechanism -- or how we imagine the future, or how we remember the past. In science, this is called the hard question. The soft question is easy. Well yeah, when you have this experience, there's a neural representation, but that doesn't tell me how I experience -- or where is feeling? Where is imagination? Where is subjectivity?
Now only spiritual traditions even begin to address this. When I talk to my scientist friends, they say, you know, "One day we'll figure it out. We will figure it out. We will figure out the problem of consciousness." And they call it a problem. The reason why that might be a false premise is, when you're looking at consciousness, consciousness is looking at consciousness. That, by definition, the spiritual traditions say, is a subjective experience, and any objective validation of that will at best be inferential. I'm thinking consciousness is out there, and I'm trying to locate it in what I'm observing, when it's the observer that's doing that. So what you're looking for is the one who's doing the looking.
This is where spiritual tradition said you've got to combine your objective insights with your subjective experiences in contemplative inquiry, in meditation, in insight for insight meditation, in repast-mind mindfulness. So I started to do that. I started to say, you know, "Let me look at what science has to say, but then let me look at what wisdom traditions have to say." They're really profound and you know, they had a different methodology. But if we combine the two maybe we'll have a little more understanding. That's what I've done for 35 years, but what I'm realizing now is that in the 35 years that I was doing this intuitively, there are people now who can do PET scans and functional MRIs, neuroplasticity has exploded as a field.
There's all this information on gene indeterminism, and mechanistic science has to address big problems, huge problems, which it assumed, you know? How do you answer the question of free will? Are we living in a deterministic, mechanistic world? Because that's what reductionist science would say, and yet you and I are convinced that we have choices -- at least it seems like that. We are convinced that there's somebody here having an experience. So the questions aren't answered; in fact they're becoming even more difficult to answer.

I haven't worn it in the heat of the summer yet, but so far it is comfortable IWB. It fits my Taurus 24/7 nicely.
I ordered this in Medium for an M&P Shield. It fits perfectly. It is their model# IA321 I have worked the snap repeatedly without any issues.
I needed an inexpensive leather holster for my 1911 and the Vega fit the bill perfectly.
This is the second time I purchased this holster and both times it has had a thumb-break snap rivet problem. The snap just falls off. Obviously, this is a manufacturer defect and not a problem Sportsman's Guide can correct. I installed my own snaps and they work fine now.
Nice lightweight supple leather. Fits the Bodygaurd .380 perfectly. However, the thumb break snap rivet was not installed correctly and it came off on first use. Returning turned out to be a hassle.

I came across this question while working on a Yii website project:
What is the best way to force Yii to serve a page with https?
On a site with a login page, for example, you always want to serve the page over https instead of http. After looking through the docs some, I came up with the following solution. Use a custom CFilter to force https on pages that need to be secured.
If you look at CAccessControlFilter in the documentation, you'll see that it does something very similar to what I'm trying to do. CAccessControlFilter reads a set of rules from the Controller's accessRules() method, processes them, and decides to let the request continue or to throw a permissions exception. What I need is an HttpsFilter that checks whether or not the current request is being made securely, and redirect to https if it isn't. Setting this up will require two steps: writing the filter class, and adding a filter method to the Controller class, and adding the filter to my controllers.
Writing the Filter Class
Here's the code for HttpFilter.php, which I stuck into my Yii project's protected/components/ folder:
class HttpsFilter extends CFilter { protected function preFilter( $filterChain ) { if ( !Yii::app()->getRequest()->isSecureConnection ) { # Redirect to the secure version of the page. $url = 'https://' . Yii::app()->getRequest()->serverName . Yii::app()->getRequest()->requestUri; Yii::app()->request->redirect($url); return false; } return true; } }
Some notes:
- HttpFilter inherits from CFilter
- I override the preFilter method of the class. You probably don't want to override filter() because CFilter may be doing special secret stuff inside.
- preFilter() should return false if the processing of the page should stop, and true if all is well and the processing should continue.
Adding a Filter Method to the Controller Class
If you're working on a standard Yii set-up, you'll have a class file Controller.php located in your components directory. This Controller class is the parent class that all of your other controllers inherit from. Since we want the ability to enforce https on any of our pages. So to that end, I'll add the method filterHttps to the Controller class. I'll explain why the method has that name in the next section. Here's my copy of protected/components/Controller.php:
class Controller extends CController { public $breadcrumbs=array(); public function filterHttps( $filterChain ) { $filter = new HttpsFilter; $filter->filter( $filterChain ); } }
Here, filterHttps simply creates a new HttpsFilter, and calls filter() on it, which in turn calls the preFilter method we wrote above. Now that we've made filterHttps available to our controllers, it's time to use it.
Adding the Filter to My Controllers
I started this article wanting to make sure that Yii forced my users to view the login page under http, and that's where I'll end. In a default set up, the login page is handled by the SiteController class. Here, we can add https checking for the login page by modifying the filters() method of SiteController, so that it reads like this:
public function filters() { return array( 'https +login', // Force https, but only on login page ); }
The filter that we added has two parts. First, is "https". When this filter is applied, Yii will look for the method filterHttps and call it to apply the filter. This is method we defined in the parent class of SiteController, in the previous section. Second, is "+login". This tells Yii only to apply the filter for the "login" action, and not for any of the other actions handled by SiteController, like the home page.
