This was Wednesdays face-I kept it quick and simple, and only had color on my lips. I used Mac's burgundy lip liner, after that I filled my lips in with @sugarpillmakeup's Poison Plum eyeshadow. Then I topped it off with one of @occmakeup's new fall colors, Dekadent Lip Tar Stained Gloss. 😸

it seems out of the blue for me to write the title in Chinese, huh? and remember that there's always a reason behind everything.
yeaaa I am in China!! and the meaning of this post's title is Guangzhou, which represents the name of the city I am currently staying. Guangzhou is the capital and largest city of Guangdong province, China. it is located on the southern part of China and really close to both Hongkong and Macau. just to sum up the reason why I came here, I joined this cool student platform called AIESEC which gives you, young leaders, the opportunity to have a life-changing experience by going for an exchange volunteer project abroad. isn't it cool?!
so, after missing a flight at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and having to wait for more than 12 hours, I finally reached Guangzhou on the 2nd of July. I knew that it's summer but I never expected that Guangzhou is going to be this hot, as in 38 degree C which is completely insane for a girl who has been spending her whole life in a city with 28 degree C temperature at its maximum. plus, this is our fasting month and the struggle is real.
I am living with a host family and her name is Sabrina (she lives with her parents, a brother and a cousin). she was the one who picked me up at Baiyun International Airport, as well as a buddy and his name is Teddy. she is so nice and she helps me a lot.
from the airport, we had to take a subway to reach Sabrina's house on Tianhe District. it was my first time riding a subway and I was pretty stoked. the subway is really nice, clean and they have AC! pretty much of a heaven in the midst of Guangzhou's hot weather. we rode it from the very first station for we got ourselves some seats.
( I am a bad photographer so I hope this pic satisfied your curiosity and whatnot. you can see Sabrina, Teddy and my reflections on the glass. wee! )
( after going through some stations, more and more passengers boarded the subway )
( this is the subway route. I have a very low quality camera so I couldn't get those letters focused. bless me. )
the very first frustration that struck me once I stepped my feet on the mainland of China is that everything is written in Chinese. no, I can't read Chinese and I never have any intention to learn for it seems so complicated. I feel like I were just a toddler because I can't read a single thing. only if my AIESEC local committee allowed me to go to South Korea, I wouldn't have been this clueless. however, it's a life-changing experience, right? I am struggling to get out of my comfort zone. I can't deny that it isn't weird, and in fact it is, but what's the point of going if you don't face something challenging?
my first day was spent by having some rest after a very long flight and journey. and do you know what? they got AC and this huge TV!
then again, I needed to register myself as a temporary residence on Tianhe District. I slept for about two hours and we went to the nearest police station (accompanied by Sabrina's dad) with the other EP from Thailand and her name is Lidya, we are pretty close now. she is really cute, nice and funny. too bad that I don't have any pictures with her just yet.
( this is the police station. the officers here are really tough-looking and, mm, scary- )
( a brochure from the police station. grateful for finally seeing some English words )
and that day activity was done. I had the whole night to myself after registering.
I had also gone to some interesting places in these past 3 days but it will take me a while to write it all down and it's 5.50 AM here. I haven't slept a wink. so, this post is just a wrap up of my activities on my first day in Guangzhou. I will try to spend some times and show you my wonderful journey. see you on the next post!
another stress relieving session.

Narrative Text
A Blessing in Disguise
Byun Baekhyun used to be a boy who lived his simple happy life with his one and only mother in Eonyang, the suburb of Ulsan, South Korea. However, everything changed when a male whose figure looked more like a giant than a human came into his life. It was Park Chanyeol, the giant with dumb-looking smile, who made his way into Baekhyun's life and became his stepbrother.
Yes, Baekhyun hated his stepbrother. He loathed how her mother was always on Chanyeol's side to the point where Baekhyun found himself questioning whose parent she really was. He loathed how that dumb giant smiled and showed his huge shiny teeth as if he did not know what he had done wrong in his life. Just one addition to their family had changed a lot of things for him.
"Chanyeol! Ppali Ireona!*1"
It was seven forty in the morning. The lecture was going to be started in the next twenty minutes which gave Baekhyun barely enough time to get ready. He was hopeless as ever and yet his dumb stepbrother was still sleeping under his thick duvet without realizing that Baekhyun was staring at him with rage in his eyes.
The University of Ulsan could be reached in twenty minutes by bus. Baekhyun could have left Chanyeol but the bus had already passed their neighborhood ten minutes ago and motorcycle was the only hope he had left. Unfortunately, Baekhyun never knew how to ride a motorcycle and the dumb giant was the only one who could.
"Park Chanyeol!" Baekhyun hopelessly screamed, trying to wake the figure of the sleeping male in his bed.
Startled, Chanyeol kicked back his cover hastily and swung both legs over the side of his bed before shifting his gaze to the clock on the navy blue wall, "Baekhyun-ah, I am sorry! We are late?! I am sorry, Baek, I am sorry." He replied with his usual alto voice before fleeing to the bathroom.
The weather that day was shiny and the bird chirped happily as if they were greeting summer that was coming to town. It was the most perfect day to end spring but Baekhyun was utterly upset to even be grateful. Baekhyun was always into study. Even though it was the last day of lecture before summer break, he did not want to be late. However, this dumb and tardy giant ruined everything.
Chanyeol was finally ready to go and he walked toward Baekhyun who had waited for him beside the motorcycle in front of their house. "Baek, where is your helmet?" He asked before putting on his own helmet.
"We are late, Chanyeol," Baekhyun rolled his eyes lazily. He could not believe that his stepbrother, besides annoying, was also extremely insensitive. "I forgot to take it but it is fine. Can't you please hurry up and turn on this thing?" Irritated was the most perfect word to describe how Baekhyun felt toward the taller male.
"But, Baek-"
"Chanyeol!" Baekhyun widened his eyes. Chanyeol knew it was not a good sign so he just turned on the engine and they finally hit the road.
They headed to Daehak where their university was and the streets were not too crowded that morning, as if the traffic was giving them a chance to be in the nick of time. The morning spring wind struck their face as they sped up because of Baekhyun's order. He kept shouting at Chanyeol, telling him to stop being so slow and annoying, telling him how he hated him for bringing so much trouble into his life.
"Baekhyun," Chanyeol interrupted Baekhyun from shouting, "can you please take off my helmet and put it on? I am feeling hot."
That was the silliest statement of the morning for Baekhyun. They were speeding up on a motorcycle, yet Chanyeol still asked such thing which was extremely ridiculous. However, he did as he told and put the helmet on.
"Baekhyun, I know that you hate me but thank you for being my brother. Saranghanda*2."
Before Baekhyun even had a chance to reciprocate, everything became dark.
Later that day, an article was printed on Ulsan evening paper. A motorcycle had crashed into a building because of a break failure. Two people were on the motorcycle but only one survived.
The truth was, halfway down the road, Chanyeol realized that something went wrong with their motorcycle's brake. Instead of panicking, he told Baekhyun to put on the helmet and he got the chance to thank him and tell him that he loved him. He saved Baekhyun by sacrificing his own life. No one knew, including Baekhyun himself. Park Chanyeol would forever be a blessing in disguise.

this is my work for Writing class assignment. it sucks, I know.
by: Rivan Ardyanto Sutoyo
Inspirasi ini tercipta saat aku membuka facebook, tapi sebenarnya tercipta ketika aku beradi di motor di bawah terik matahari di tengah kemacetan sampai tetes keringat membasahi rona pipiku. Teringat 4 anak kecil yang terlalu baik untuk saya.
Semua orang ga ada yang sama, satu sama lain, mereka punya pikiran, imajinasi, hobi, sifat, karakter dan tingkah laku yg berbeda-beda pula. Saya punya rumus persahabatan:
4 anak kecil + 4 elemen alam + LISTRIK vs hati yg dingin
equivalen dengan
EARTH —> menurut saya Nadhira
AIR —> menurut saya Riany
FIRE —> menurut saya Muthi'ah
WATER —> menurut saya Yuni
1) EARTH -> berbicara ttg alam, khususnya mineral di batuan dan tanah. Sifatnya agak keras dan memerlukan air dalam proses hidupnya. Yuk kita ibaratkan, tanah apabila diberi air maka dia akan hidup dan berbunga serta berakar kuat. Tapi sebaliknya, apabila tidak diberi air (dikecewakan), maka dia akan gersang dan tidak bertumbuh. Sama kayak si dhira ini. Dia perlu support orang, sedikit perasa dan cinta kedamaian, bisa mendamaikan/mencairkan suasana, orangnya cukup terbuka. Tapi, tipikalnya sulit ditebak (akar kan bisa kemana2). GAWAT! Tipenya agak pedas di omongan dan sikap (batu). Style-nya naturalis habis lah dan setia serta apa adanya.
Karakter: toph (avatar)
2) AIR -> menurut si gue mah Riany, hehe.. Air itu udara. Udara itu bebas, ada dimana aja, ga terbatas dimensi ruang dan waktu. Riany itu orangnya fresh-minded alias open minded di setiap kondisi apapun. Dia bisa mencari udara2 lain ketika dia letih dan tak bisa melangkah. Tipe orang yg terbuka bgt, sedikit perasa, namun berbelit-belit -_- sulit fokus dan kurang konsentrasi, tak jarang membuat udara kehilangan lajunya. Karena pikirannya agak berbelit-belit seringkali membentuk badai/tornado/cyclone dan merusak segalanya. Kacau pelajaran, kacau pikiran, ucrat acret deh. Tapi, dgn semangat dan auranya dia bisa menghidupkan suasana sekalipun dia hanya tersenyum tanpa satu kata (aang!)
3) FIRE -> wow api! Panas.. Ya itulah muthi yg kami kenal. Api adalah lambang suatu keabadian yg belum teridentifikasi hingga saat ini. Muthi itu orangnya cepat nasteung, emosian, dan kadang terlalu memakai perasaan sehingga radiasi apinya itu tersebar cepat ke sekitar lingkungannya. Namun di balik itu semua terdapat energi besar yg dapat disimpan olehnya. Dia itu seorang tempat curhat yg baik dan aman. AIR + API = UAP UDARA, UAP UDARA + AIR = HUJAN -> tanah dapat kesegaran. Api itu vital keberadaannya. Tipe seorang pemikir dan sedikit perfeksionis membuatnya menjadi seorang tak berekspresif dan agak kaku. Punya 2 karakter unik deh. Style-nya cenderung kaku (zuko!)
4) WATER -> ini dia yg terakhir. Yuni amidong menurut saya. Dia ini tipe yg adem ayem aja, seperti air mengalir. Ya… Begitulah kehidupannya. Jika berbicara ttg air, air itu berbicara ttg keseimbangan, keseimbangan di alam. Tipikal orang yg cenderung melihat masa lalu untuk sebuah masa depan, agak tersendat-sendat, tapi kapilaritas air membentuk yuni dan memampukan dia mencari jawaban sendiri atas setiap persoalannya. Dialah inner beauty-nya suasana persahabatan. Mau masalah apapun jika dilihat dari jauh, air tetaplah air yg dingin, namun jika disentuh ada yg dingin, hangat, panas. Seorang pendengar yg baik. Tipikal: orangnya suka beruntung dan alay (katara)
Rivan mah listrik sih. Listrik itu tercipta karena ada gaya tarik-menarik antara udara di langit + tanah di bumi karena adanya air, sehingga ketika listrik hingga menyentuh tanah maka keluarlah api.
Volt -> Rivan
Dari kacamata aku, itulah kalian.
(maaf kalo ada yg ga sesuai)
habis melepas kangen sama Jembar. ini senang.
ini foto waktu dibonceng sama @jfaujiaa atau Jembar; salah satu partner-in-crime. Jembar ini ganteng, dia tipe idaman para wanita; perhatian, jago futsal, badannya tinggi atletis dan yg paling penting humoris dan kritis. kalo doi senyum, es di kutub selatan meleleh semua. dia juga keras, ya seperti layaknya kebanyakan laki-laki. kalo dia udah gak suka sama satu hal, itu udah keputusan final yg gak bakal dia rubah sampe kura-kura bertelur isi monyet sekalipun. doi juga baik banget, kalo aku butuh temen kemana-mana suka dianterin, ditemenin makan malem-malem, dijajanin juga (hehehehehe). oh iya, doi juga orangnya amat sangat punctual. ngaret is not his style banget pokonya.
sering juga main ke rumah Jembar waktu orang tuanya naik haji sama One Direction (read: Erlangga, Umar, Aldy, Haviel dan Ahmad). aku nyempil cewe sendiri dan parahnya, aku yg kebo. sering tiba-tiba kelempar ke dunia mimpi di sofa depan TV sedangkan yg lain asik bersenda gurau ditemani nintendo di kamar tuan rumah atau sekedar nonton film horor bersama macam maho tumpuk bertumpuk di karpet.
Idul Qurban 2012, full team kita sate-satean di rumah doi. asik dan mengisi perut. sesudahnya males-malesan di kamar kosan kosong punya keluarga Jembar sama yg lain. gelak tawa dan ejekan tentang kejombloan udah jadi hal yg biasa kalo semuanya udah disatuin. ngerasa spesial sekali bisa jadi bagian dari mereka. Jembar sering juga jemput ke rumah buat ngajak olahraga pagi atapun acara lainnya, nge-PING!!! sampe banjir bandang cuma buat bangunin dan yg paling-paling, doi sering nyuruh mandi. kalo aku pagi udah bales chat, Jembar pasti bilang "Tumben kamu udah bangun?hahahaha=))" gitu.
Jembar juga orangnya random. seharian BBM-an, dari A-Z semua kejabanin kita gosipin. dari dia (atau aku) curhat galau-in mantannya sampe dia ngirim foto orang dengan isi perut tercerai-berai semuanya ada. kalau aku lagi uhm, bahasa kerennya sih galau, Jembar suka ledekin aku sampe aku bursting into laughter. pernah juga doi tiba-tiba ngechat cuma buat nyari surabi malem-malem. seumur hidup baru kali ini deh punya sahabat kaya Jembar Faujia ini. sugoi sekali!
Jembar sekarang ada di Jerman, nerusin studinya. ini lagi diserang rindu, makanya bikin tulisan beginian.
ah, sudahlah.
hati-hati di Eropa sana, Jembar Faujia. kita yg disini sayang sama kamu. semoga sukses dan cepat menginjakkan kembali kakimu di tanah Ibu Pertiwi ini, ya (walau doi bilang gak mau pulang dan ingin tinggal disana).
oh! by the way, itu foto waktu kita survey buat salah satu acara OSIS. kita pergi ke Lembang dan pas lewat turunan ini, tangan jahil dia mulai beraksi. dia matiin motor dan nyabut kunci motornya. di foto pertama, itu kunci motornya yg sengaja dikasihin ke aku. pas udah nyampe turunan kaya di gambar kedua, kita mulai joget-joget aja tangan kemana-mana dan Jembar gak megang stang motor. pas di depannya ketemu tanjakkan, langsung dengan hebohnya nyolokin kunci dan nyalain motor biar bisa ngegas. gila memang.

Where will you be when the world ends.
That's what interests me about The Doctor because, actually, look at the blood on the man's hands. 900 years, countless very selfish choices, and he's literally blown planets up. His own race, you know, that's all on his hands. Which is why I think he has to make silly jokes and wear a fez. Because if he didn't, he'd hang himself.

Mourning Valencia on mission to impress
Ecuadorean footballer Antonio Valencia takes part in a training session on October 7, 2013 in Quito - by Rodrigo Buendia
The 28-year-old will have an added incentive to see Ecuador at least emulate their 2006 heroics, when they reached the last 16.
Playing against France, Switzerland and Honduras in Group E, the wideman will hope to stake a place in the plans of whoever becomes Manchester United's new manager.
He will also be competing for the memory of his closest friend Christian Benitez, Ecuador's leading scorer in the qualifiers with four goals, who died aged just 27 last July when playing for Qatari club Al Jaish.
Valencia, who had known Benitez since they were teenagers in the Ecuadorean Army side Deportivo El Nacional and the Under-20 national side, immediately had a tattoo artist design a tribute to him.
"I wanted to share with you this tribute in honour of my brother 'Chucho'," posted Valencia on his Twitter account. "We'll never forget you."
The tattoo has Benitez's nickname 'Chucho', alongside three stars, his date of birth, his shirt number and date of death.
Benitez's death left a vacuum in the national side but coach Reinaldo Rueda moved to end part of the mourning process by replacing Walter Ayovi as captain with Valencia.
"It was hard on Walter Ayovi, who is 500% excellent," Rueda said.
"But Antonio Valencia was closest to Benitez - they were like twins - and so making him the captain was a way of rallying the group," he told the BBC.
"Valencia was reluctant initially, out of respect for Ayovi, but it ended up being, from a psychological point of view, a change that gave us a boost in the final straight."
Valencia, one of the few members remaining from the Ecuador squad from the 2006 edition, happily for the squad won't be in charge of their culinary diet given an anecdote recounted by Benitez of their days in the Nacional side.
"I remember one day a trainer advised us to eat pasta and a lot of iron to keep fit, but Tono (Valencia) misunderstood.
"In South America pasta means sauce and it is also what they call toothpaste. The next day I find Valencia tucking in to a tube of Colgate."
Valencia, scorer of eight goals in his 60 international appearances, it is hoped will react positively to shouldering so much responsibility certainly better than when he was handed the legendary Number 7 shirt -- worn by among others George Best and Cristiano Ronaldo -- at Manchester United for the 2012/13 campaign.
He admitted defeat and handed it back after that season and resumed wearing his original number 25 shirt.
However, the steel and courage he showed when at just 16, aided by his mother and his elder brother, who paid for the bus fare, he left his home village of Nueva Loja in the Amazon forest for Nacional should stand him in good stead for the challenge ahead.
"We thought he (his father) would never say yes because he wanted me to stay with the family and finish my studies,' said Valencia.
"He was looking around the house asking where I was. Eventually, they plucked up the courage to tell him after two days and when he calmed down he realised it was for the best. I was in tears when I went. It was so young to be leaving home."
Indeed there is something within Valencia despite his sometimes carefree attitude on the pitch that has impressed his English coaches, such as Paul Jewell who brought him to Wigan on loan from Spanish side Villarreal in 2006 -- Jewell's successor Steve Bruce was to make the move permanent two years later.
"He could easily have buckled but there was no moping in a hotel," Jewell told the Daily Mail.
"Antonio, though his English was minimal, quickly got a house and a car. That self-reliance, which can be rare, impressed me."

Confessions of a Former Housework Hater
- Monday, March 12, 2012
Ma Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie kept herself and her environment neat even when there was no chance of any neighbor stopping by. She felt it was worthwhile to iron the clothes, make the beds, and sweep the dirt floors even though only her husband and children would appreciate her efforts. Most contemporary housewives (and I fell into this category) avoid housework until company is coming. There is a mad dash of cleaning to make the house presentable for the visitors, and then housework is neglected again for more attractive pursuits. There is an old Southern saying that people should treat their family like guests and their guests like family. I knew I was not following this sage advice when I would tidy the house for company but leave it sloppy and dirty for my family. My ability to serve the Lord was also hampered when I was ashamed to have people drop by. It's impossible to be "given to hospitality" (1 Tim 1:2) when it takes several hours of work before guests can cross the threshold. I began desiring to have my house ready for company at all times, and this became a New Year's resolution for several years before it became a reality.
I was also challenged by Proverbs 31:27, which says the virtuous woman "eats not the bread of idleness." As I doggedly tried to ignore and avoid housework, I felt I was eating this bread. I was sure Ma Ingalls would have been appalled at me sitting on the couch reading a book before all the housework was done. As my conviction and discomfort over my messy house grew, I tried to improve my slovenly habits, but found it difficult. Even though I could legalistically force myself to do my daily chores, the core of my being still hated housework, and there was no joy in my labor. My mom observed my struggle and told me to stop fighting and surrender instead. That was very wise and spiritual advice. I confessed and surrendered my laziness and work-avoiding habits to Jesus, and He gave me victory over my disorderly way of life.
I remember having a conversation years ago with a group of career women about how to sweep a floor for God's glory. We were all a bit mystified about how such a commonplace and seemingly unspiritual task could have eternal significance. I now know that it glorifies God when I keep my surroundings orderly. It glorifies Him when I set a good example for my children. God is pleased when I honor my husband and my children by working hard to make things nice for them, even at the unglamorous jobs. Elizabeth Elliot, in her book Discipline the Glad Surrender, states the following: "Let us lift up our hands, our hearts, our bodies—a sacrifice, acceptable because it is lifted up to Him who alone can purify. Without this offering, the thing dies. Deadness, lifelessness, boredom are inevitable." As I dedicate my household duties to God and perform them as unto the Lord and not for men, I find joy in the housework I once hated.
But all spiritual victories have a practical outworking, so I'll tell you my system for housework. Work is put before play whenever possible, since it is easy for the urgent to crowd out the necessary. I once saw an old-fashioned set of dish towels that had a daily chore stitched into them: Wash on Monday, Iron on Tuesday, etc. Like the housewives of decades past, I try to accomplish one major chore every day. When nothing comes up to disrupt the cleaning schedule, I am normally done with most of my chores by Thursday. I then have some discretionary time and can hit the couch with a book for an hour without guilt.
General pick-up takes place several times a day. We pick up after school, after the baby is down for a nap, and before bed. This type of pick-up seemed so useless to me when I was a new mom with a "toddler tornado." Why pick up when I know she will quickly come and mess things up again? My mom set the example in this also for me. I observed her pick up the mess my toddler had made as soon as my toddler left the room. When I asked her what was the point in putting forth this effort, she told me that getting out the toys was half the fun for the child. And she was right. It was also wonderful to have the living room back in order again, even if the order only lasted 10 minutes. To my surprise, the toddler didn't always immediately recreate the mess, so the room was often picked up for an extended period of time.

Want to Buy Quality Furniture at Low Prices? Here's Where You Should Look
Posted on October 27th, 2010 by Paulina Aguilera
Moving day has finally arrived! But besides your bed, armoire, and desk, there really isn't much furniture that the moving company has to move. If you're moving from a small space to a bigger one, you're going to need some furniture to fill up all the room you now have.
What if you don't want to spend anymore than you already have on your relocation? Don't sweat it – you can easily find low-cost, cheap furniture and even FREE stuff when you know where to look. Here are the top four sources for getting quality furniture at rock-bottom prices:
- Garage Sales: There's nothing like perusing through someone else's unwanted junk! But garage sales are a great way to find the furniture you need at a great price. Coffee tables, mirrors, home décor, even bed frames are all yours to take home – if you can wake up early enough to snag the items you want.
- Craigslist.org: You can find anything and everything on this catch-all site. Get a great deal on a barely used sectional here. Haggle your way to a lower price on an entertainment center from a guy just down the street from you. Post a listing of your own if you haven't had any luck finding a new kitchen table and chair set. The best part about Craigslist is that listings are free, and you can narrow down where to pick up furniture by location. The best time to find free or reduced furniture is during the weekend as people list items that weren't sold during their garage sales.
- Freecycle.com: Similar to Craigslist, Freecycle.com offers free listings for all of the unwanted stuff people hesitate to send to the dump. That includes furniture in good shape, so take a peek at your local Freecycle chapter and see what you can find for your new home.
- Thrift Ships: Goodwill, The Salvation Army, and many religious organizations manage their own thrift shops. Getting cheap furniture here will not only help you decorate your home for less, but you're also supporting a cause you believe in. Prices may be a bit higher than the other three sources, but you'll still pay considerably less than you would for new pieces of furniture.
If you plan on picking up furniture, make sure you bribe your buddy that owns the pick-up with a few beers and pizza for some help transporting your furniture home. You may also want to look into a good furniture cleaning service or upholstery service for a thorough cleaning of furniture like mattresses, couches, and chairs. The last thing you want is an invasion of bed bugs in your new home, which has recently become quite a nuisance in many places throughout the country.

It's unclear why the truck, full of asphalt, was on the sidewalk, but apparently nobody told the driver there's a subway under there and the sidewalk is hollow. Whoops.

Five U.S. agricultural subcommittees will be led by representatives from Iowa, Texas and other states following appointments by Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture.
Effective Jan. 3, the new subcommittee chairmen are:
"I am pleased to announce the committee's leadership team for the next Congress," Lucas says. "Our subcommittee chairmen have demonstrated a commitment to ensuring the success of American agriculture and rural economies. I look forward to working with them as we address the important issues our agricultural producers and rural constituents face."
Crawford, the Arkansas representative, says the position will present the opportunity to advocate for farm families across the U.S. and in his region.
"Annually, agriculture in Arkansas has a $16 billion economic footprint and employs over 260,000 Arkansans," Crawford says. "Of all the members on the House Agriculture Committee, I am the only representative from the mid-south. With my new leadership position, I hope to be an even stronger voice for the concerns of mid-south farmers and I will work to educate members of the committee from other regions about the challenges our producers face."

Artist Statement
My name is Ashley August and I'd like to tell you a story about a woman with blackbirds over her heart.
It is said that blackbirds represent a commitment to higher knowledge and an acceptance of the unknown. They represent a devotion to transformation, to change as your surroundings demand you to, but to always keep in mind your true spirit.
The moment I saw my birds, I knew I had to make them a permanent part of who I am – professionally and as an artist. My birds appear before films I've produced, they reside on my business card and, most importantly, they fly over my heart, permanently inked on my skin.
My birds have guided me through long nights, through doubt and confusion and have reminded me to persevere – to stay true to who I am as an artist. To remember why I flew into this industry without hesitation.
Because I want to tell stories. Because I want to captivate audiences with my words and stories. I want them to scream in horror, I want them to cry when their heart aches– but most of all I want them to leap from their seats and demand 'More! More!'.
My name is Ashley August and I'm the woman with blackbirds over her heart.

A Coastal Prairie Companion or The Day We Traded Keyboards for Dibbles
Photo by Patrick Stark, USFWS (see full event photo gallery on Flickr)
By Patrick Stark, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
The crisp air invigorating our lungs was all the reminder we needed that this would be a workday unlike most. Instead of the hum of fluorescent lights, the honking of nearby Aleutian Canada geese would serve as our soundtrack. The elusive sun even made an appearance on this sublime early-November day, adding outer-warmth to the inner-joy felt by two dozen urban-based U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service staff, who had the opportunity to step away from the office and directly connect with the resources vital to the Agency's conservation mission.
The destination was Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a small but important dot on the 150 million acre map known as the National Wildlife Refuge System, with a purpose (and panoramic view) that's hard to beat. The main portion of the refuge, known as Cannery Hill (including a recently added 102 acres), is nestled on a peninsula between Oregon's Nestucca Bay and the Pacific Ocean. An easy and beautiful two-hour drive connects the refuge to the 2.2 million inhabitants of the Portland metro area, including today's crew of USFWS personnel eager to work with the Institute for Applied Ecology (IAE) to restore habitat for a Federally threatened butterfly.
It's Good to Get Your Hands Dirty Once in a While

Without a doubt there is a romantic side to conservation, conjuring images of airboats cruising through wetlands, hip waders glazed in the water of salmon-filled streams, and muddy boots trekking through wilderness in search of rare wildlife. There are also many who support on-the-ground conservation less directly, though no less passionately. It takes budget analysts, IT specialists, administrative professionals, and myriad other support positions to deliver conservation on behalf of wildlife and the American people.
For practical reasons, these support activities are often centralized in larger cities. A volunteer opportunity like this one at Nestucca Bay NWR is so important because, like many of the 80% of Americans who now live in large cities, these support staff can fall into a pattern of not directly connecting with the natural resources so important to all of us.
Thankfully, someone noticed this reality and set out to change it, even if for a day. Rebecca Chuck, Deputy Project Leader of the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex, saw an opportunity to connect folks with nature while advancing Endangered Species Act recovery efforts on the refuge. In coordination with IAE, the refuge is restoring coastal prairie habitat in hopes of reintroducing the Federally threatened Oregon silverspot butterfly. To do that, the silverspot needs appropriate vegetation in which to lay eggs and feed their larvae, as well as a preferred nectar-bearing flower on which to feed after they emerge as adult butterflies.
Getting the Early Jump with the Early Blue
From its humble beginnings, the USFWS and IAE intend to create a flourishing landscape of purple and white, fluttering with the activity of pollinators. Top photo by Patrick Stark, USFWS. Bottom photo USFWS.
The USFWS crew would be assisting with part one of that equation, planting early blue violets (Viola adunca) to support the butterfly at the egg and larval stage. Though to even reach this point, a lot of effort first went into developing a detailed restoration plan, compliments of IAE. The plan provides prescriptions for all mowing and weed control, as well as short-term and long-term management and maintenance practices. Refuge staff prepared the ground through a process of mowing and prescribed burns intended to control non-native grasses, such as reed canarygrass and orchard grass, that would otherwise choke out the flowers. Those grasses were then replaced by sand fescue, a native grass that makes for a better companion to the flowers.
As explained to us by USFWS biologist and silverspot expert, Anne Walker, this is admittedly an experimental process. Nestucca Bay NWR is within the known historic range of the silverspot, though no butterflies currently inhabit the refuge. Through IAE's restoration plan, best-known practices are being applied to re-establish native coastal prairie vegetation. The fact that butterflies aren't present actually affords flexibility in grass-control measures, such as the application of herbicides, that would otherwise be dangerous to the silverspot. Ultimately, however, only time will tell if native flowers can once again take hold on this remnant of historic coastal prairie habitat.
Measuring Accomplishment Through Plugs and Partners
Collectively, volunteers will plant 11,000 early blue violet and 6,300 pearly everlasting flowers atop Nestucca Bay NWR's Cannery Hill. Photos by Patrick Stark, USFWS
After an orientation from aptly named IAE restoration ecologist, Ian Silvernail, it was time to set aside our word-per-minute typing talent and become plants-per-minute restoration wizards. Our larger planting group of two-dozen was broken into teams of three, comprised of a dibbler, a plug remover, and a planter. And I can attest that after a few hundred iterations, we were a finely honed machine that would have brought a smile to the face of Henry Ford.
In the end, we would plant 4,200 violet plugs that day, part of 11,000 violets and 6,300 pearly everlasting flowers (the nectar source) that will ultimately reach the ground through the efforts of some very important partners. In particular, five years of students from the Jane Goodall Environmental Middle School have connected with this restoration effort as they began their generous work in 2008 by planting nectar flowers along the Pacific View Trail. The staff from the North Face store in Lincoln City and IAE's Americorps crew have also pitched in on behalf of silverspot recovery.

VBScript to search for and delete file
Hi, I have a file (say "normal.dot") that may be under any user in c:\Documents and Settings. I am looking for a script that searches for this file and then deletes it.
I have searched the web but can't find one. Any ideas?
so that the conversation will remain readable.
You could just use the cmd processor for this:
cmd /c "c: & cd c:\docume~1 & del normal.dot /s"
Perhaps worth noting that there may be some folders where you might not wish to delete the normal.dot file from (e.g. Default User profile (?))
With this in mind, the following VB Script uses an exemptions list to bypass any folders you wish to preserve the file in :
' Sample VB Script to remove a designated file (default is NORMAL.DOT) located in the profile folder for every user on the
' system. There is provision for exempting certain folders via the constant ProtectedUsers which is set to a comma separated
' list which can be altered according to your requirements
' You should alter constant DeleteProtectedUsers from FALSE to TRUE to delete *ALL* copies of the file regardless of profile
Const FileToDelete = "Normal.DOT"
Const AllUsers = "\All Users"
Const DeleteProtectedUsers = "FALSE"
Const TemplatesFolder = "Application Data\Microsoft\Templates"
Const ProtectedUsers = "Default User,Administrator,All Users,NetworkService,LocalService"
Dim oFSO, oWSH
Dim sAllUsersProfile, oAllUsersFolder, sProfilesRoot, oFolder
Dim colFSOSubFolders
Dim protuserarray
Dim DeleteFlag
On Error Resume Next ' this is set because the designated file may be locked from deletion
protuserarray = Split(ProtectedUsers,",")
' Instantiate the objects
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Get the Allusers profile folder path first and from this determine profiles parent folder
sAllUsersProfile = oWSH.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ALLUSERSPROFILE%")
Set oAllUsersFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(sAllUsersProfile)
sProfilesRoot = oAllUsersFOlder.ParentFolder
' Now enumerate all existing user profile folders
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(sProfilesRoot)
Set colFSOSubfolders = oFolder.Subfolders
' Now go through each existing user profile folder looking for the designated file to delete
For Each objSubfolder in colFSOSubfolders
DeleteFlag = "TRUE"
if oFSO.FileExists(sProfilesRoot & "\" & objSubfolder.Name & "\" & TemplatesFolder & "\" & FileToDelete) then
' Found the file, now establish whether containing folder is on the exempt list
if NOT DeleteProtectedUsers then
For Each element in protuserarray
if ucase(element) = ucase(objSubfolder.Name) then
DeleteFlag = "FALSE" ' mark this occurrence of the designated file as exempt from deletion
exit for
end if
end if
If DeleteFlag then
' File was found in a folder that is not exempt, so go ahead and attempt to delete
oFSO.DeleteFile sProfilesRoot & "\" & objSubfolder.Name & "\" & TemplatesFolder & "\" & FileToDelete,TRUE
end if
end if
' Clean up before exiting
set oFSO = Nothing
set oWSH = Nothing
Hope this is of some use [:)]
As it stands, the script I posted will search for and delete the NORMAL.DOT file in every users profile located in the Application Data\Microsoft\Templates folder. This should work for every user having a profile folder under C:\Documents and Settings.
However I made an exception for the following "special" case profiles -
Default User,
All Users,
(the last two probably won't contain a normal.dot, in any case, but there you go)
If you want an outright deletion of *all* normal.dot files from
Application Data\Microsoft\Templates then alter the following line in the script :
Const DeleteProtectedUsers = "FALSE"
Const DeleteProtectedUsers = "TRUE"
If your Templates path differs from Application Data\Microsoft\Templates then you can alter the following line :
Const TemplatesFolder = "Application Data\Microsoft\Templates" to meet your own particular needs.
Use this script after the installfinalize sequence and will forcefully delete the file.
for testing purposes, i have kept the file name as jimmy.dot which has to be renamed as per the requirement.
important note: all the files with the same name which is present in any folder inside the c:\Documents and settings will be deleted.

Hey thanks Jimmy ;-)
I would like to run this at logon and instead of searching for files in all profiles I would only like to search and delete files in the profile of the user logging on. IE: Replace
ShowFolderList("C:\Documents and Settings") with
I know I need to declare this variable with:
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") but I can't seem to make it work.
strUserProfile = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERPROFILE%")
Nice and informative. Is that what you say when you take your car into the garage: "It doesn't work"? :)
What doesn't work? Is it that nothing is returned in strUserProfile? Or the is it the deletion which fails? As I said on another AppDeploy forum today, we're good, but fall somewhat short in our psychic abilities.
Sorry for not being more specific. What I'm trying to acheive is instead of searching through all profiles and delete the files I would like this script to run at logon, and only to check and delete files in the logged on user's profile. I know it's possible to use environment variables in vbscript, but I'm not sure how to use them.
I've tried to modify the script posted by Jimmy Antony above, but the file is not deleted. (BTW: I've tested the script above with C:\Documents and settings hardcoded and that's working ok) This is how my modified script looks like:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next

strUserProfile = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERPROFILE%")
' ShowFolderList("C:\Documents and Settings")
' Replaced hardcoded path with enviroment variable but the syntax must be wrong I think
Function ShowFolderList(folderspec)
Dim fso, f, f1, s, sf
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set sf = f.SubFolders
For Each f1 in sf
End Function
Function ShowFileList(folderspec)
Dim fso, f, f1, fc, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set fc = f.Files
For Each f1 in fc
if strcomp(f1.name,"mytestfile.txt") = 0 then
fso.deletefile f1.path, true
Exit For
Exit Function
end if
End Function
I'm answering my own question here as I managed to get it working using the following code:
' Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
' Script to search and delete files only inside the logged on users profile.
' Define the files you need to delete in objDic.Add LCase lines
' Run this when a user log on and they will in fact delete their own files!

' Define the files you need to delete
objDic.Add LCase("file1.txt"), ""
objDic.Add LCase("file2.txt"), ""
objDic.Add LCase("shortcut1.lnk"), ""
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strUserProfile = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERPROFILE%")
' This is where it will only search and delete in the logged on users profile
Function ShowFolderList(folderspec)
Dim fso, f, f1, s, sf
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set sf = f.SubFolders

End Function
Function ShowFileList(folderspec)
Dim fso, f, f1, fc, s
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)

Hey Guys i am looking for VB script that can look for particular file type lets says *.dat file could be anywhere in Drive E;
I would like to zip this file if its older then 3 days and then delete the original one.
would like to use this script to save space issues on drive.
Can anyone Help?
Jimmy or anyone can you Help?
That's quite a bit of work to ask someone to do (properly) for free.
Seek out examples of scripts which do the individual jobs you want and then either chain them together of merge them into one script. Try computerperfomance.co.uk for examples.
You'll have to add your own error trapping and compression/deletion verification.

Hi, I have a directory call "dirname" under c:\ directory. Under "dirname" directory i have different directories like "default" "vi11" "vi22" "vi33" "vi44" "vi55".
I am looking for a script that remove all directories that begin with "vi" without removing "default" directory.
Any ideas?
Thank You Spartacus for the script it really helped. So if i was to delete the "Normal.DOT" from LocalAppData folder as well should i write another script & change the following values or can we add something to the existing script?
Const TemplatesFolder = "Application Data\Microsoft\Templates" TO
Const TemplatesFolder = "Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates"
No, that's the amateur's way. Edit the code so that the work is done inside a function (use a Function rather than a Sub, so that you can return a value, Success or Failure). Then pass the folder name and file spec into the function as separate parameters. Remember - as ever - to error-trap everything, e.g. does the path passed in exist; does the file exist, did the file actually get deleted and so on. Assume NOTHING, other than that everything will go wrong.
I am looking to delete certain cookie files so I need to use wild cards. What do I need to modify in this script? I have tried "*any*.txt" but that didn't work.
Hello there,
I just wanted to drop by and say thanks to all, but in particular to spartacus for the info/code on this thread. Using this as a start, I was able to modify it for my own purposes and do something that's been bugging me for ages. I thought it was only fair and decent to at least say thanks for the original vbscript.
Hi folks,
I am looking for a script that will find ALL instances of an .exe file (e.g., test.exe) on the machine AND shared drives and delete it. I have been trying to use the aforementioned pieces, modified, but I'm relatively new to this and haven't been able to spend as much time on scripting as I'd like to. Consequently, I have a hard time figuring out the logic. Anyhoo, if you can help, I'd greatly appreciate it; need to get a particular file basically out of our environment as it is messing up our printer scripts.
Thanks and enjoy the day!
Anyone got a fix for me?
Thanks, folks!
Okay, then, well, thanks anyhoo. :(
In regards to my original query, I have now gotten my script to find all instances of the "gadgetman.exe" file anywhere on the local machine, however, it only deletes the file from C:\, not the other instances in various places below this. Any ideas on how to modify this to complete the "search and destroy" off all instances locally and on a user's shared drive (s)?
Thanks, and enjoy the day, All!
This is what I have, pieced together from various scripts, pretty much none of it mine:
Const DeleteReadOnly = True
'Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") (commented out because I didn;t see it helpinig, but needed to try it; wasn't sure what I was doing, as initially styated)
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sDir = oWshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%temp%\dir.txt")
sFileName = "\gadgetman.exe"
If oFSO.FileExists(sDir) Then oFSO.DeleteFile(sDir)
For Each oDrive In oFSO.Drives
if oDrive.DriveType = 2 Then Search oDrive.DriveLetter
Set oFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile(sDir, 1)
aNames = Split(oFile.ReadAll, VbCrLf)
For Each sName In aNames
If InStr(1, sName, sFileName, 1) > 0 Then WScript.Echo sName
dim filesys
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filesys.CreateTextFile "\gadgetman.exe", True
If filesys.FileExists("\gadgetman.exe") Then
filesys.DeleteFile "\gadgetman.exe"
Wscript.Echo("File deleted")
End If
Sub Search(sDrive)
WScript.Echo "Scanning drive " & sDrive & ":"
oWshShell.Run "cmd /c dir /s /b " & sDrive & ":\" & sName & " >>" & sDir, 0, True
End Sub
This is the output:
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8

Scanning drive C:
This takes about a minute.
C:\Documents and Settings\watherton\gadgetman.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\watherton\My Documents\gadgetman.exe
C:\Users\watherton\My Documents\gadgetman.exe
File deleted
Exit code: 0 , 0000h
The file, however, still exists in the aforementioned locations (except at the root of C:\, where it is now gone).

CSS Guide?
Is there a BuddyPress CSS guide?
I'm trying to figure out how to edit the font-size of the navigation tabs (activity, profile, quick post, etc.) but I can't seem to peg them down in the stylesheet.

All I can say is that these mashed potatoes are oh so delicious and smooth. The recipe is great, as is, but add some crumbled bacon and you have the taste of a baked potato with the works. Everyone who likes a good potato dish will love these potatoes.

Too much butter, not a realist amount of servings (16 servings; 1/2 cup each.) Three people could eat this, as we would in my household. That puts it close to 30 grams of fat per serving!
